How to start
Head to Thundra Plateau, just west of Ridgeland Tower. Lightning storms the area until the quest is finished. Unequip every metal weapon, bow and shield first, because lightning is drawn to metal and will strike you repeatedly.
Solution
Send the red orb to the centre
Stand in front of the red orb on its platform. Freeze it with Stasis, strike it, and when Stasis ends it flies across to the central plateau where the four receptacles and pillars stand.
Knock down the pillar orb
One orb sits on top of the south-west pillar. Shoot it down with an arrow or two (use a non-metal bow), carry it and set it in the receptacle that matches its colour.
Place the red and purple orbs
Pick up the red orb you launched and the purple orb and place each in the receptacle of its own colour.
Fetch the orange orb
The orange orb rests on a platform just north of the plateau. Glide over, shoot it down, and carry it to high ground near the plateau.
Freeze it with Stasis and hit it repeatedly with a heavy non-metal weapon such as a club to build up momentum. When Stasis ends it sails across the gap onto the plateau. Place it in the orange receptacle and Toh Yahsa Shrine appears.
Chests and rewards
- Spirit Orb from the monk inside Toh Yahsa Shrine.
- Opal and Rubber Armor: two chests in the shrine.
