Video Guide

1. Make a Wooden Bridge

When you proceed towards the area, attach the wooden panel near you using Ultrahand to another one passing through the sand.

Use the wooden bridge you have constructed to cross the moving sand. Climb aboard the wooden panel passing in front of you to regain your stamina.

From there, walk towards the platform and brave the moving sand.

2. Use the Wooden Bridge to Climb

After you reach the platform, grab the wooden bridge you used earlier and place it on top of the fence.

The wooden bridge should now serve as a ramp for you to cross to the other side.

3. Defeat the Soldier Construct

A Soldier Construct can be located behind a standing, wooden panel near you. Attach a Bomb Flower to an arrow and shoot it.

Use the passing, wooden panels to cross the moving sand and reach the next platform.

4. Activate the Trigger Mechanism

Climb the ladder that leads to the top platform, and stand on the trigger mechanism in the vicinity.

The mechanism will launch a stone sphere far away from your location.

5. Build a Wooden Bridge

Glide below the area that has Zonai Fans and motorboats on it. Land below, and build a wooden bridge made out of three wooden panels you see around the area.

From there, place the wooden bridge in a way that it connects above the staircase leading to the closed altar.

6. Build a Motorboat

Attach a Zonai Fan on the back of a motorboat, and ride it towards the platform on your left.

From there, cut the rope that is tied to the chest near you and grab it using Ultrahand.

Claim the Arrow x10 inside the chest.

7. Head to the Other Chest

Use the motorboat to reach the other chest located on an elevated platform.

8. Climb Up the Wooden Panel

Once you have reached the elevated platform, land on the wooden panel near the area.

Grab the standing, wooden panel near the area and attach it vertically to the one you are standing on.

Use the wooden panel you just attached to climb and reach the elevated platform. Open the chest to claim the Hasty Elixir inside it.

9. Ascend the Platform

Ride the motorboat and head towards the area with Soldier Constructs stationed above an elevated platform.

Use Ascend to reach the area above you when you are directly underneath the elevated platform.

10. Attach the Stone Sphere on the Motorboat

Defeat the Soldier Constructs near the area. From there, head below and look for the stone sphere you launched earlier.

Attach the stone sphere on a Motorboat. From there, activate the trigger mechanism to open the gate.

11. Head to the Area with the Wooden Ramp

Head towards the area with the three wooden panels serving as a ramp. It was the one you built earlier. Kinda glad you built it earlier, huh?

Unstick the stone sphere from the motorboat and drop it to the bowl-shaped mechanism that opens the gate to the altar.

12. Proceed to the Altar

Proceed to the altar and complete the Kudanisar Shrine.
