Walkthrough

  • Go forward and stand in front of the rotating gear across from the entrance of the shrine.
  • Use Stasis to freeze the rotating platform at a very slight angle.
  • Done properly, a Boulder should be able roll down the slope and then launch into the plunger switch up the other ramp.
  • This will open a gate to your left.
  • Head on through that gate into the next room.
  • In this room there are 2 chambers on the left and 1 on the right. The ones on the left have chests inside them and the one on the right has the Monk.
  • In the closest left-hand chamber, you will find a closed gate, a wall of stone blocks and a set of 4 Stone Barrels.
  • To open the gate, you need to grab 1 of the Stone Barrels and set it on the slightly raised platform across the gap from the Stone Blocks.
  • Grab a Stone Barrel and set it close to the center of the platform.
  • Freeze it with Stasis and hit it so it will launch forward.
  • This will help clear the blocks away so you can see the plunger switch beyond the blocks and make aiming for the switch easier.
  • You want to place the Stone Barrel on the raised platform, in the top left corner of the center tile in the back row.
  • Hit the barrel head on and the arrow should point toward the plunger switch. Aim to hit the barrel 6 times to send it into the plunger.
  • Trigger the switch will raise the gate just to the left of it.
  • Inside the chest here you will find the Falcon Bow.
  • Head to the back left chamber.
  • This puzzle is much simpler, you just need to get the round boulder onto the large pressure switch on the other side of the small ridge.
  • Push the Boulder a little so it is in front of the switch.
  • Freeze the boulder using Stasis and hit it just 3-4 times.
  • This will give it just enough energy to go over the ridge and drop onto the large pressure switch beyond.
  • The pressure switch will raise the gate in the back of the room and let you get at the chest there.
  • This chest has a Great Thunderblade inside it.
  • Go across the room from this chamber.
  • In the corner you will find more Stone Barrels and toward the Monk's Chamber is a large Stone Stab balanced upright.
  • Grab one of the Stone Barrels and bring it to the ledge close to the Stone Slab.
  • Set it on the slightly raised platform, toward the front right of the forward center tile.
  • Use Stasis on the barrel and hit it 4-5 times; aiming the arrow from the barrel at the Stone Slab.
  • The Stone barrel will launch itself and slam into the Slab which will fall onto the final plunger switch to open the Monk's chmaber.
  • Head over to the now open Monk's chamber.
  • Climb the stairs and interact with the Monk Dunba Taag.
