Tauyosipun Shrine (Forward or Backward?)

Tauyosipun Shrine is a Recall puzzle: you rewind rolling boulders, a falling chest and runed balls so they climb ramps and drop onto plates that open the gates. Recall must already be unlocked. Most steps depend on timing: you cancel Recall at the right moment so the object drops where you want it. The chest holds a Construct Bow (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress).

How to find it

The shrine is in the southern part of Hebra West Summit in the western Hebra Mountains, at map coordinates -4538, 2880 (height 276). Launch from Rospro Pass Skyview Tower and glide northwest, across Lake Kilsie and past Sturnida Basin. You need at least two rounds of the stamina wheel to get most of the way, so bring a Stamina Elixir or a meal, and cold-resistant food or gear for the snow.

Solution

Reverse the first boulder

Boulders roll down a narrow ramp toward you in the first room. Wait for one to come near the bottom, then aim Recall at it so it rolls back up the slope. Follow it up the ramp quickly, because the reversed boulder carries on to the top.

Recall the boulder at the chest

At the top, a chest keeps falling onto a spinning wheel that throws it into the abyss. Use Recall on the chest or the wheel so the chest is brought toward you instead, then open it for a Mighty Construct Bow (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress).

Step on the floor switch

Go right and up the stairs into the next room. Grab the runed ball with Ultrahand and step on the raised floor switch, which closes the gate so the boulders stop falling down the ramp ahead. When a boulder gets stuck at the gate, drop the ball behind it, then use Recall on the stuck boulder so it pushes the ball up the ramp and onto the runed plate behind it. The next gate opens.

Send the ball back up the ramp

In the next room, marked balls fall from one ramp onto another above the target plate. As a ball rolls down the second ramp, use Recall on it right after it leaves the first fence, then cancel Recall while it is in mid-air so it loses its momentum and drops straight onto the plate. In the last room, use Ultrahand to place the ball in the small moving bowl that follows the walls. Wait until the bowl carries it past the corner above the plate, then use Recall on the ball only, not the bowl, and cancel Recall when the ball is directly above the plate so it drops in. The last gate opens.

Take the Light of Blessing

When the way is open, climb to the terminal and examine it to receive the Light of Blessing.
