Sinakawak Shrine Puzzle Solution:

The Sinakawak Shrine introduces the concept of using balloons to lift objects to higher elevations and reach greater heights. Follow these steps to conquer the shrine’s challenges:

  1. Descend the stairs of the shrine and notice two balloons on your left, as well as a blocked balloon on the right due to a platform.
  2. Retrieve a wooden pallet from the left side and attach it to the bottom of the balloon on the right using Ultrahand.
  3. Move your balloon creation to the left side, away from the platform obstruction.
  4. Step onto the wooden pallet and attach the candle on your right to the inside of the balloon’s basket. This will cause the balloon to ascend to the next floor.
  5. Ride the balloon contraption to reach the subsequent floor.
  6. Grab the balloon that you used before by utilizing Ultrahand, or combine a torch and a balloon using the materials available on this floor.
  7. Place the balloon near the gate and release it to hit the button located above the gate.
  8. Proceed to the next room, where you will find criss crossed pathways suspended high above the ground.
  9. Glide down to the floor and discover several balloons, a ball, and a few torches on the left side of the room.
  10. Attach the ball to the basket of the balloon and affix the torch to the top of the ball using Ultrahand. If you’re having difficulty assembling the balloon, you can attach a wooden platform to the bottom of the basket to provide more space.
  11. Allow the balloon to float to the top of the room, then walk over to the right side of the ground floor. Here, you will find another balloon, a large ball, and four flame emitters.
  12. Deactivate one of the flame emitters by hitting it, then attach it to the inside of the balloon’s basket using Ultrahand.
  13. Attach the large ball to the bottom of the balloon’s basket using Ultrahand.
  14. Activate the flame emitter and let the balloon ascend to the top of the room.
  15. Ascend to the upper floor, where you will encounter two pits in the ground—one large and one small.
  16. Place the balloons above their respective holes. If you have trouble reaching the balloons, ascend to the criss-crossed pathways and grab them from higher ground.
  17. Detach the large ball from its balloon and drop it into the large hole. This action will open the gate obstructing the treasure chest. Open the chest to obtain an opal.
  18. Return to the previous room with the balloons.
  19. Separate the smaller ball from its balloon to open the final gate. Interact with the sigil to complete the shrine.

Congratulations! You have successfully solved the puzzles of the Sinakawak Shrine and acquired the Light of Blessing.
