6. Defeat the Constructs
7. Use the Environment
8. Take Down Constructs from a Height

1. Take Your Weapons

When you enter the Shrine, you will have no weapons or equipment so you'll have to take what's available at the entrance!

2. Defeat the Construct

When you enter the chamber, there will be constructs on the first floor. Defeat them with your weapons of choice. Don't ignore any as you'll need to defeat all of them.

3. Fly the Balloon

Once the constructs are defeated, use the Ultrahand to place the candle on the Balloon to fly upward to the top.

4. Glide Down to the Platform

At the top, glide down to the platform.

5. Fuse with the Rockets

Augment your weapons by using Fuse to add rockets to your weapons. This will come in handy later.

6. Defeat the Constructs

On this upper level, you will encounter a number of constructs. Defeat them and progress forward. We recommend saving your arrows for later.

7. Use the Environment

When weapons aren't enough, you can use the environment and the items in it, such as traps to defeat enemies.

8. Take Down Constructs from a Height

From this height, you can take down a number of constructs with the bow and arrow. This saves you from getting damaged in close range.

9. Glide to Lower Levels

If you cannot reach a Construct from the top, glide across the gaps to reach the lower sections.

10. Open the Door

Once all the constructs are defeated, the door at the top will open. You'll receive all your equipment back and can use a rocket or the balloon to head back up!

11. Examine the Shrine

Examine the Shrine to receive your reward!
