Solving Ihen-a Shrine

Once activated, these small platforms will float in the air whenever they are left,allowing you to move them with Ultrahand, and they’ll stay there for as long as needed. In this first room, you’ll be able to use Ultrahand to make a staircase of the four platforms to climb to the next area. For those looking for an easier option, you canraise and lower a platform before jumping on a casting Rewind,raising you to the top.
Within the next room, you’ll find a metal grate platform and another floating platform.Stick the platform to the middle of the metal grate to make it a floating bride. Once activated, place this between the gap and use it as a bridge to get across. After getting off on the next area,turn around and grab the platform, this time angling it upwardto reach the higher-up area.

In the final room, you’ll find a sphere that you need to get across a wide gap.Activating the orange pillar in this room will make the piston push forwardand hit anything in its path.Place a floating platform with the sphereattached in the way of the piston before climbing on yourself.Activate the piston with an arrowto be launched across the room, where you can place the sphere in the divot to open up the inner area of the Shrine.
