Step-by-step solution
There is no interior puzzle, but reaching Chichim Shrine requires navigating the Ancient Prison Ruins.
1. Enter the underground and open the first gate
Enter through quicksand. Travel east from Gerudo Town to the quicksand (Show on map) and let it carry you underground.
Open the first gate. Walk toward the two torches and use Ultrahand to pull the lever left.
2. Follow the statue and open the inner gates
Find the statue. Go through, take the left path, then turn right at the end and continue to the statue of a woman holding a sword.
Follow the sword. Walk in the direction the statue points until you reach another lever.
Open both gates. Pull that lever left with Ultrahand, then drop into the hole on the right.
3. Navigate the lower passages with Ascend
Use the first Ascend point. Follow the lower path to its end. Ascend through the open ceiling to reach a small loot area, then return to the lower path.
Crouch through the wall opening. Pass through the small hole, continue, then turn right at the rubble leading upward.
Drop with the crumbling floor. Let the floor give way and continue into the area on the right.
Use the second Ascend point. Proceed until another opening appears overhead, then use Ascend to reach the upper surface.
4. Expose the final lever and claim the blessing
Expose the last lever. Remove the stone slabs blocking the lever with Ultrahand, then pull the lever left.
Activate the shrine. Go through the opened gate and examine Chichim Shrine’s terminal.
Collect the blessing. Inside, open the chest for a Mighty Zonaite Spear, then continue to the altar for the Light of Blessing.
