Location of Makasura Shrine
Walkthrough
This Shrine has 1 chest inside it.
Once you arrive inside the Shrine, you will need to start by heading forward. Get to the wall with the ledge above you. Use Ascend to instantly launch up and pass through the ledge.
Puzzle 1 – Mind the Gap

Turn to the left and look to the Zonai Devices you can see. You'll find two Zonai Stabilizers here. One is already standing upright while the other is attached to a metal L-shaped platform.
Use Ultrahand to rotate the inactive Stabilizer 180 degrees so it sits beside the large gap.
You have two ways to cross:
- Activate the Stabilizer, then use Ascend through the raised platform before gliding across.
- Stand on the end of the metal L-shaped platform and strike any part of the device. The Stabilizer will flip upright, launching Link safely across the gap.
Puzzle 2 – Jumping Fences

Getting to the middle platform, you have a new puzzle to solve. Look to the far end of the platform, toward where you can see the Innermost Chamber.
Grab the Metal L-Bend here with Ultrahand. Bring it to the middle of the area. Look to the left-hand side where you can see bars with a small glowing Sphere. Set the Metal L-bend by it and activate it. With it set against the bars, you can easily use Ascend to get to the top of it. Jump over the fencing to land in this enclosure.
Chest 1

This enclosure has the only chest in the Shrine. If you linger at the top of the fence and look along the back of the enclosure, you can see it on the ledge there. Drop down into the enclosure. Grab the Stabilizer and connect it to the Metal plate with the bowl. Turn it away from the bars and set the Stabilizer’s bottom pointing toward the back wall. Step into the bowl and activate it.



Reaching the Chest
Activating the Device with Link in the bowl will launch him into the back wall and let him land on the ledge with the chest. This chest sits on the left-hand end of the ledge. Open it up to claim its contents: A Fairy Tonic.
Puzzle 2 – Needed Extension

With the chest’s contents claimed, drop back down to the floor of this small enclosure. Grab the Metal plate with bowl and spin it around to face the center of the shrine. Use Ultrahand to grab the small sphere and set it in the bowl. Have Link step into the bowl next to the Sphere and activate the Zonai stabilizer by hitting any part of the construct.

When you land, you’re back in the middle of the shrine and the Sphere is rolling nearby. Left along it’ll settle in the socket in the middle. You can help it along by grabbing it with Ultrahand and just setting in the socket.

Once the Sphere activates the Socket the bars will drop on the right-hand side of the middle. Go over to the newly opened area and you’ll find a Metal Plate with a bowl. This is the piece you’ll need to reach the Innermost Chamber of this shrine.
Puzzle 3 – Reaching the Innermost Chamber
Take the metal plate with the bowl and pull it out into the central area. Go to the left-hand bars and deactivate the Zonai Stabilizer by hitting it. Grab the Device and it’s attached L-bend and bring it to the far ledge. Set the Zonai Stabilizer facing toward the Innermost Chamber of the Shrine. Grab the Metal Plate with a bowl with Ultrahand. Connect the Metal Plate with the Bowl to the L-Bend Plate Stabilizer combo. Be sure the Metal Bowl is facing upwards so you can jump into it.


Once everything is connected:
- Stand inside the bowl.
- Strike the construct to activate the Stabilizer.
- The launch sends Link soaring across the final gap.
Glide safely onto the platform containing the Shrine altar.
Walk up the stairs and interact with the glyph to complete the Shrine and receive a Light of Blessing.
