Iun-orok Shrine (The Right Roll)

Iun-orok Shrine is a rolling-ball puzzle: each gate opens when a metal ball hits the round wall target beside it, and you fuse balls together to get over slopes. The chest needs a stack of fused balls plus Recall as an elevator.

How to find Iun-orok Shrine

Enter Tanagar Canyon West Cave, on the west side of the canyon below Tabantha Bridge, and head down to the bottom floor. Large cracked rock walls block the route: break each one with a hammer, a fused weapon or bombs, turn right and keep tunnelling until the cavern opens out. A swirl of green light hangs over the shrine at the top of a flight of steps, with a blue platform in front of the doorway.

Iun-orok Shrine solution

Roll the first ball

Pick the ball up out of its dish with Ultrahand and set it on the ramp that runs up toward the target on the far wall. Release it and let it roll into the target: the orange rings turn green and the gate opens.

Fuse the pair

In the second room two balls sit in separate dishes. Attach them to each other with Ultrahand, lift the pair to the peak of the stone slope facing the target, then let go so it rolls down into the target.

Build the elevator

In the third room three balls of different sizes lie in dishes. Attach them together from largest at the bottom to smallest at the top and set the stack against the wall under the ledge with the chest. Stand on it, then use Recall on the stack: it rises like a lift and carries you up to the chest; open it before you drop back down.

Roll the long chain

The last target is the hardest because the slope curves and stops just short of it. Fuse the balls you have used into one long chain of large and small balls, push it to the end of the curved ramp, aim it at the target and release it so it rolls up and over the ramp into the target. The gate beside it opens.

Iun-orok Shrine chest

The chest stands on a stone pillar in the corner of the third room. Reach it with the Recall elevator from step 3 and open it for Arrow x10, a bundle of ten common arrows.

Light of Blessing

Go through the last gate, cross the maze-patterned floor and climb the steps to the altar. Touch the green seal for the Light of Blessing.

Nearby

Directly below, in the Depths, is Koro-nui Lightroot.

Tips

  • The balls roll easily; only release them when they are lined up with the target.
  • Bring bombs or a hammer for the cave walls; the cave is dark and misty.
  • A longer chain of balls is easier to aim than a short one for the final roll.
