Sikukuu Shrine walkthrough

1. Enter the shrine and head down a steep set of stairs. You’ll notice the spinning gear on the wall. Balls are falling from an opening at the top left corner, and the gear is guiding its fall to the left.

2. Use Recall to make the gear spin the other way, thus leading a ball into the indent on the floor to the right of the gear. Once the ball is nested in the correct spot, the gate under the gear will open. Head through there. You’ll see one massive gear and two smaller gears with a knob to turn them.

3. Use the knob on the right side of the platform to rotate the gear. Use Ultrahand for this, spinning the knob to the left, counterclockwise.

4. Hop onto the gear itself, into one of the slots. Use Recall to reverse the gear while you’re on it, and it’ll drop you into a secret chamber.

5. The chest in the secret chamber has a Zonaite longsword. Grab that.

6. Look straight up. Use Ascend to transport yourself back upstairs.

7. Once back in the main chamber, spin the small gears’ knob to the right, clockwise.

8. Hop onto the gear once again and use Recall. This will bring you up to the raised platform.

9. Examine the sigil to get the Light of Blessing.
