Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Domizuin Shrine guide

The Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Domizuin Shrine puzzle is a difficult one, as you have to rotate a sort of cage-like room to find a way to get to the top and reach the Blessing above. Located close to one of the Skyview Towers in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, in the South Akkala Plains to the Northeast, the actual solution is to spin the cage room so that there's a vertical pillar going up the side that you can Ascend through - but we'll get into more detail on how you set that up below. Here's our guide to solving the Domizuin Shrine puzzle in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

Once you've entered the Domiziun shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, walk a few paces and immediately use your Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Ascend ability to travel upwards through the pillar right in front of you. This itself is actually a hint to the solution, but we get ahead of ourselves. Walk toward the glowing arrow signpost straight ahead, and then follow these exact steps to quickly solve the Domizuin Shrine:

Hit the arrow outside the cube once, then enter the cube through the opening
Hit the arrow inside the cube six times
Walk toward the chest directly in front of you and open it to receive a Zonai charge
Jump off the platform, glide back toward the entrance, and Ascend up the pillar again
Back at the first arrow you found outside the cube, hit it once more and re-enter the cube
Hit the arrow inside the cube three times, then jump into the corner, Ascend through the pillar, and emerge atop the cube
Mind the gaps in the floor and jump up to the stairs leading to the Shrine of Light altar

If you're still looking for the Shrine itself, you'll find it atop a high peak above the South Akkala Plains, accessible either by climbing or by going up the stairs circling the mountain. Here's the shrine's location on the map:
