1. Drop the Giant Stone Cube Into the Water

When you enter the area, you will notice a pool being electrified by two large pedestals across from you.

Grab the giant stone cube nearby using Ultrahand, and drop it into the pool. The stone cube will allow you to cross the water without getting electrocuted.

2. Use the Giant Stone Cube to Block the Spewing Fire

After reaching the next area, you will see flames spewing from out the wall to your right. There are giant cubes of ice continuously falling onto the flame's path, only to melt when exposed to the heat.

Grab the giant stone cube you dropped in the pool using Ultrahand, and place it directly in front of the spewing flames. This will stop the falling ice from melting.

3. Grab the Chest Using the Giant Ice Cube

A chest can be found on an elevated platform near you. Grab the giant ice cube with Ultrahand, and place it below the elevated platform. Climb the ice to reach the chest.

You will receive a Mighty Zonaite Shield after opening the chest.

4. Remove the Chained Metal Ball From the Electrified Pool

There is an electrified pool near your vicinity caused by a metal ball. Remove the submerged metal ball from the pool to prevent the water from being conducted with electricity.

5. Place the Metal Cube Onto the Elevated Platform

You will need to place the metal cube from the pool to the elevated platform. The metal cube should be positioned in a way that it blocks the spewing fire from the left wall.

6. Stick the Stone Cube and Ice Cube Together

Use Ultrahand to stick the ice cube on top of the stone cube.

7. Place the Stacked Cubes to the Right of the Platform

Grab the stacked cubes with Ultrahand, and place them in the space to the right of the platform. Try to raise the stacked cubes high before dropping them.

8. Drop the Stacked Cubes Into the Pool

Climb the stacked cubes before using Recall to reverse their descent towards the pool.

Proceed to the platform when able.

9. Stick the Stacked Cubes to the Metal Cube

You will need to grab the stacked cubes, and stick them on top of the metal cube blocking the flames.

Be sure to place the stacked cubes in a way that you could still be underneath the stone cube, so place the combined cubes on the top edge of the metal cube.

10. Use Ascend Underneath the Stacked Cubes

Use Ascend to rise up to the very top of the stacked cubes.

11. Proceed to the Altar

Continue to the altar and complete the Tadarok Shrine.
