How to find it

Kadaunar Shrine is at map coordinates 1881, 1202 (height 1264), near Lake Ferona Cave. It is on a sky island, so you reach it by gliding from the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower to the South Eldin Sky Archipelago. The shrine is on the cross-shaped island there. On the way you will meet a few Zonai Constructs; mine carts on rails (with a fan attached and a battery if needed) carry you between the islands, and Ascend lifts you to the higher level.

Solution

Enter the shrine and cool the first pool

Fly to the island of the South Eldin Sky Archipelago that holds the shrine and walk in. A water hydrant stands at the edge of the first lava pool (another is mounted on the wall and runs constantly): hit it to turn it on, pick it up with Ultrahand and hold it over the lava so the water hardens it into stone slabs.

Build a bridge and open the chest

Lay the slabs side by side into a path across the pool. A little further on, a second lava pit lies below a ledge to the left; harden a ramp of slabs there and climb to the chest for a Mighty Construct Bow (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress).

Smash the cracked wall

A cracked stone wall blocks the way on. Fuse a hardened slab or another heavy item to a weapon and strike the wall to break it open. A Rusty Claymore lies to the left of the wall if you want a blunt weapon to fuse the slab to.

Cross the last lava pool

Behind the wall are two hydrants on white pads beside the final pool. Turn one on, carry it to the lava and build another slab path to the far side. The lava here drifts, so lay the slabs quickly. The hydrants run forever, so there is no hurry. Slabs float downstream; once you have a line of them, use Recall on the farthest one to push the whole line toward the end.

Take the Light of Blessing

At the end of the bridge, touch the green seal on the altar to collect the Light of Blessing.

Nearby

Kadaunar Shrine is a Sky shrine, so there is no Lightroot below it. The island sits in the South Eldin Sky Archipelago above Eldin Canyon.
