Eutoum Shrine (Proving Grounds: Infiltration)

Eutoum Shrine is a Proving Grounds trial: your gear is taken and you must defeat all five Constructs (Soldier Construct I and II, one with a shock-emitting bow) using the sticks you are given and what the Constructs drop. Ultrahand helps you shift barrels and use the floor spike strips against them, and Ascend gets you to higher ledges. The chest holds a Sapphire.

Solution

Learn the rules

Your own gear is taken at the door and you are given a Long Stick, a Wooden Stick (or Sturdy Wooden Stick or Gnarled Wooden Stick, depending on your progress) and an Old Wooden Shield, ahead and to the left. There are five Constructs to defeat; if one notices you the others may join in, so take them on one or two at a time.

Take down the first Construct

Head forward, then turn right: the first Construct patrols there. Red laser beams cross the corridors from wall emitters beside a maze-patterned walkway, so time your steps between them rather than running through. Kill the Construct and fuse its drops (a Zonai charge, a horn) to your sticks. A longer, stronger weapon lets you keep your distance. Beyond it, a second corridor leads the other way to an outside Construct whose bow you can take.

Gather arrows and emitters

On the outer part of the shrine, use Ascend to reach a higher ledge, then follow the grates to a pair of wooden barrels. Throw them down so they break and drop arrows, which you will need against the archer. Barrels and stone crates along the walkway can also be lifted with Ultrahand and moved out of your way. A fence in the way can be moved with Ultrahand, which also lets you drop into a side room with a Beam Emitter and a Flame Emitter that you can fuse to your sticks for much stronger weapons.

Defeat the Constructs

Fight the rest one at a time. Pick up a spike strip with Ultrahand, turn the spikes away from you and push it into the aggressive Constructs as a wall, or fuse it to your shield; if two rush you, split them up. Then enter the middle room and defeat the Construct that fires lightning arrows: keep behind the pillar for cover, use your arrows and thrown weapons, or close in and finish it quickly. A spiked iron ball rolls across the floor of the middle room, so watch its path before crossing. Jump over the spiked floor tiles to reach any Construct left on the far side.
