Satasata Shrine

Maren's Tip

Remember — if a shrine gives Rauru's Blessing with no puzzle inside, the real challenge was reaching the entrance. Check the surrounding area!

Walkthrough

1. Step 1: Enter Satasata Shrine in the Faron region and survey the obstacle course.
2. Four moving platforms cycle in different patterns over a deep pit — falling into the pit does not kill you but deposits you back at the entrance, forcing a full retry.
3. Before attempting any jumps, stand at the entrance ledge and watch one complete cycle (about 20 seconds) to memorize all four platforms' movement patterns.
4. Step 2: Platform 1 moves horizontally from left to right and pauses for 2 seconds at the right position (nearest to you) before sliding back left.
5. The moment it pauses at its rightmost position, sprint to the edge and jump onto it.
6. You have a comfortable 2-second window.
7. Ride it to the left where it lines up with Platform 2's path.
8. Step 3: Platform 2 moves diagonally — up-right to down-left — in a smooth sliding motion.
9. It is never fully stationary, which makes timing the jump harder.
10. Position yourself at Platform 1's left edge and wait for Platform 2 to reach the center of its diagonal path (the point closest to your position).
11. Jump at this moment — the diagonal movement means you need to jump slightly ahead of Platform 2's current position to intercept it.
12. Step 4: Platform 3 rotates continuously around a central pivot point, like a clock hand.
13. The platform itself is long and narrow.
14. Jump to the stationary anchor point at the center of the rotation — this central hub does not move even though the platform arm spins around it.
15. Land on the hub and wait for the rotating arm to point toward Platform 4's path.
16. Step 5: Platform 4 is the most challenging — it moves back and forth rapidly between two positions with only a 1-second pause at each end.
17. Standard timing is nearly impossible.
18. Use Recall on Platform 4 when it reaches the far position — this freezes it in place momentarily, giving you approximately 5 seconds of stationary time to jump from Platform 3's rotating arm to the frozen Platform 4 and then to the far ledge.
19. Step 6: On the far ledge, check the far wall before heading to the altar.
20. A treasure chest sits on a narrow shelf containing a Gloom Sword (30 attack power, deals gloom damage to enemies but also slowly reduces your maximum hearts while equipped — a powerful but risky weapon for advanced players).
21. Step 7: Proceed to the altar and claim your Light of Blessing.
22. Hidden chest: The Gloom Sword on the far wall shelf.
23. Ability needed: Recall is required for Platform 4.
24. Paraglider can save you from pit falls if deployed quickly enough.
25. Pro tip: If you struggle with the timing, attach a Zonai Spring to your shield using Fuse — when you shield-jump from each platform, the spring gives extra height and distance, making each gap significantly more forgiving.
