Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1

Descend into Tanagar Canyon

Tanagar Canyon is the enormous chasm running through the Tabantha region, accessible from the Tabantha Great Bridge or by gliding from the Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower. The canyon floor is far below the surface — use your paraglider to descend safely. At the base, you will find the glowing green shrine crystal resting on a stone platform, surrounded by Zonai device dispensaries stocked with fans, rockets, and platform slabs.

2

Build a Flying Machine

Use Ultrahand to construct a flying platform: attach two or three Zonai fans horizontally to a flat platform slab for lift, and a stabilizer or steering stick for control. Alternatively, attach multiple rockets to a board for a burst-propulsion approach. The goal is a vehicle capable of carrying both Link and the crystal from the canyon floor (roughly 100 meters deep) up to the rim.

3

Attach the Crystal and Ascend

Use Ultrahand to attach the shrine crystal to your flying machine — place it on top of the platform so it does not block the fan intakes. Board the machine, activate the fans with a Zonai charge, and ride the craft upward. Steer toward the canyon rim where the Mayaumekis Shrine pedestal glows. The canyon walls are close, so adjust your angle to avoid clipping the rock face during ascent.

4

Place the Crystal and Access the Shrine

Land near the shrine pedestal on the canyon rim and carry the crystal to it using Ultrahand. Insert the crystal into the pedestal — the Mayaumekis Shrine rises from the ground and becomes accessible. The shrine's interior puzzle involves wind-based propulsion mechanics similar to the flying challenge outside. Complete it for a Light of Blessing.

Pro Tips

1

Use Ultrahand to look for hidden objects or movable platforms you might have missed.

2

If stuck, try looking at the puzzle from a different angle — literally. Use Ascend to reach higher vantage points.

3

Use your Purah Pad Sensor+ to track quest-related items and materials as you explore.
