  • use this to bring it over to the archway in front of you.
  • Get the balloon below the archway and let it go to hit the switch above.
  • The path to the next Chamber is open, but there's still a chest that needs to be collected and one more puzzle that needs to be solved.
  • You emerge onto a grated walkway.
  • Just head across the room and look down, where you can see 2 receptacles, 1 small and 1 large.
  • The Small Receptacle will trigger the door into the Innermost Chamber.
  • The Large Receptacle will open the door to the Chest.
  • Let's start with the Small Sphere.
  • Drop down to the lowest section where you can see a collection of Braziers, a few Balloons, and a pair of Spheres: 1 Small in the open and 1 Large behind the wall.
  • Connect the Sphere to the Brazier with Ultrahand.
  • After that, connect the Balloon to the Brazier over the flame.
  • The device will rise up and float up to the top of the area.
  • Go into the small opening next to the braziers and use Ascend to pass through the stone and quickly get back to the higher level.
  • Take a moment to use Ascend to pass through the grated flooring above you.
  • Use Ultrahand to grab the Sphere from the device.
  • Drop the Sphere down toward the Receptacle.
  • Then use Ultrahand to make sure it goes in the right place.
  • Time to do just a little more to get the chest here in the Sphere.
  • Go back down to the lower section of this chamber.
  • Head over to the left, going to the outcropping of wall over to the left (with the Innermost Chamber behind you).
  • You can see the Large Sphere between the active Flamethrowers.
  • Grab the Sphere and bring it over to the wall below the higher ledge.
  • Either use a Brazier or a Flamethrower and attach it to the Sphere.
  • Onto that assemblage, connect an Air Balloon where the Fire Source is.
  • Once again, use Ascend to quickly get back up to the higher level with the receptacles (and possibly having to go up to the grating walkway above you).
  • Grab the Sphere from the Device and bring it over to the right-hand receptacle.
  • Drop the Large Sphere in and the gates will raise, clearing the way forward to the Chest alcove.
  • Head inside and open the chest to get the Opal inside it.

  • Just approach the statues and activate the Glyph to complete the shrine.
