Walkthrough[edit]

  • Turn to the right and drop over the ledge there.
  • On this landing you will find the first chest. Inside it is Opal.
  • Drop down to the lower floor. Head over to the left and take the ramp back up to the entrance point of this shrine.
  • Turn to the left of where you came in. There is a giant spinner that you can push.
  • Interacting with this spinner will cause the laser beam on the left-hand side of the room to rotate around the room, hitting a crystal switch on the opposite side.
  • When this crystal switch is hit, the water level will raise. Wait for it, on the ledge, to reach its maximum level before proceeding.
  • Equip Cryonis and create an Ice Pillar by the ledge with the crystal (presently blue).
  • Swim out to the Ice Pillar and climb up it to to then jump and land on the ledge with the crystal.
  • Walk over to the crystal, equip your Remote Bomb (Cube) and place one by the crystal. You will need this bomb for later to reach the second chest.
  • Return to the ledge with the entrance to the shrine.
  • Quickly rotate the spinner 180°, be sure your back is to the water.
  • Run into the water, dash if you have the stamina
  • Swim over to the open doorway opposite where you came into the shrine.
  • If done right, Link should make it to the ledge before the water level drops.
  • Wait for the water level to lower. Otherwise you will not be able to activate the next switch.
  • Grab the metal barrel sitting on the right-hand side of the downward ramp opposite the closed gate. This can also be done with Magnesis
  • Place the metal barrel on the pressure plate at the bottom of the ramp. This will open up the gate at the top of the ramp.
  • Go through the gate and to the right of the Sheikah Monk. You will a chest you cannot immediately reach.
  • Detonate your Remote Bomb at this point.
