How to find it
Ihen-a Shrine is at map coordinates 3786, 577 (height 499), near Mipha Court.
Solution
Every stone in this shrine is a hover stone: hit one with a weapon or arrow and it switches on and floats where you leave it, until its charge runs out and it drops. Hit it again to refresh it. You need Ultrahand to place them.
Wash the sludge off the door
The shrine sits just north of Mipha’s Court, and in the early part of the game, before the “Sidon of the Zora” main quest is done, sludge blocks its door. Wash it away with any water attack, such as a Splash Fruit, a Chuchu Jelly thrown from a distance, or water from a nearby hydrant, then walk in.
Stack the hover stones into steps
In the first room, hit each floating stone to activate it, then use Ultrahand to stack them against the wall as steps. Climb them and jump up to the ledge at the far end of the room.
Build a bridge from a stone and the grate
Hit a stone to power it and park it in the middle of the gap, then use Ultrahand to attach the leaning metal grate to it so the grate hovers as a walkway. Cross it, then lift the whole bridge with Ultrahand and carry it to the next gap, tilting it upward so you can walk up it.
Reach the alcove chest
The chest is on the wall above the entrance of the third room (turn around as you come in, or look to your left). Hit a hover stone to power it, place it at about the chest’s height, stand on it or use Ascend to reach the ledge, and open the chest for 5 Arrows. It is the shrine’s only chest and is optional.
Roll the ball across the gap
In the last room, attach the ball to a hover stone, set it in front of the wooden ram panel in the corner, and shoot the orange crystal with an arrow. The ram pushes the stone across the gap. Cross over, take the ball with Ultrahand and drop it into the circular socket on the floor to open the door.
Take the Light of Blessing
Walk through the opened door and touch the terminal at the end of the shrine to receive the Light of Blessing.
