Kimayat 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 Kimayat Shrine in the Eldin region.
2. The theme is Spin the Bouncer — using rotational physics to launch a steel ball into a target receptacle.
3. A large turntable spins slowly in the center of the room with a steel ball resting in a shallow groove on its surface.
4. The target receptacle (socket) is mounted in the far wall, about 12 meters away.
5. Step 2: The turntable spins at a default low speed — too slow to fling the ball off its surface.
6. You need to increase the spin speed.
7. Use Ultrahand to grab the turntable's outer edge and push it in the direction of its existing rotation.
8. Each push adds rotational momentum.
9. Repeat this four to five times, pushing firmly each time — the turntable accelerates with each push until it spins at roughly triple its original speed.
10. Step 3: Watch the ball on the turntable.
11. As the spin speed increases, the ball migrates outward toward the edge due to centrifugal force.
12. At high enough speed, the ball reaches the turntable's lip and is ready to fly off.
13. The critical moment: the ball must leave the turntable when it is aimed directly at the far wall receptacle.
14. Step 4: Position yourself so you can see both the ball's position on the turntable and the receptacle on the wall.
15. When the ball is about 90 degrees before the receptacle line (meaning it will sweep past the receptacle line in the next quarter-rotation), strike the turntable edge with a melee weapon to give it one final burst of speed.
16. The ball flies off the turntable at the correct angle and sails across the room into the receptacle.
17. Step 5: If the ball misses the receptacle (common on first attempts), it hits the far wall and rolls back to the floor.
18. Retrieve it with Ultrahand and place it back in the turntable groove.
19. Adjust your timing — if the ball flew to the left of the receptacle, strike the turntable slightly later in its rotation.
20. If it flew to the right, strike earlier.
21. The correct launch window is surprisingly narrow (about 15 degrees of arc).
22. Step 6: When the ball seats into the receptacle with a click, the altar gate opens.
23. Walk through and claim the Light of Blessing.
24. A chest behind the turntable (easy to miss since your attention is focused forward) contains an Eldin Ore (worth 150 rupees).
25. Abilities needed: Ultrahand (turntable acceleration, ball repositioning).
26. Pro tip: Instead of melee-striking the turntable for the final launch, you can use Ultrahand to suddenly stop the turntable while the ball is at the correct position — the ball's inertia carries it forward off the now-stationary surface, giving you more precise directional control.
