Complete Guide
Enter the shrine and take a moment to absorb the sight of the large, swirling water currents that dominate the room. Your goal here is to navigate against the flow to reach the exit, so first, head over to the left side where you’ll find a series of platforms and a movable block. Use your Ultrahand ability to grab that block and place it directly in the path of the current, creating a makeshift dam. This will redirect some of the water flow, allowing you to step onto the block and gain a little bit of height.
Once you’re on the block, look up to spot a higher platform you need to reach. Activate your Ascend ability to pop up through the block and onto the platform above. Now you’ll be able to see a few more blocks and a spinning mechanism in the distance. Use Ultrahand again to grab one of those blocks and position it strategically to create a bridge that will lead you to the exit while also countering the water flow. With a bit of careful maneuvering, step across your makeshift bridge, and once on the other side, you can approach the shrine’s exit. Just a few final adjustments with your Ultrahand should see you safely through, completing the challenge with a sense of accomplishment.
