Anedamimik Shrine (A Retraced Path)

Anedamimik Shrine is hidden at the bottom of Deepback Bay Cave and is flooded until you drain it. Inside, a rolling ball must reach a receptacle in the gate of the altar room: let it roll, Recall it at the right moment and send it back along its path. A side chest holds a Large Zonai Charge.

How to find it

Enter Deepback Bay Cave (4213, -2262) on the East Necluda coast, south-east of Hateno Village. Defeat the pair of Black Horriblins near the entrance, then drop through the hole in the cave floor and deal with the Like Like below. Just beyond it, breakable rock in the ceiling holds back the water around the shrine; a bundle of arrows and a Bomb Flower lie in the cavern below. Blow the rock apart with a bomb arrow (a Bomb Flower fused to an arrow) so the water drains, then Ascend or climb back up to the shrine door. Launching from Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower and gliding south-east gets you to the cave mouth; bring cold-resistant gear, because the flight starts on frozen Mount Lanayru.

Solution

Enter the shrine and strike the switch

Step through the doorway once the water is gone. In the first room hit the glowing switch with a weapon; each hit sets the mechanism moving and starts the ball rolling. You can strike it as many times as you need.

Ascend to the chest

Strike the switch once to shift the structure, then drop down and go under the ledge with the chest. Use Ascend to rise through the ledge and open the chest for a Large Zonai Charge.

Recall the ball back into the receptacle

Strike the switch again and wait until the ball has rolled in front of the altar room’s gate. Aim Recall at the ball (it rolls from right to left) and then hit the switch once more: the ball retraces its path in reverse and lands in the orange receptacle, which opens the gate.
