Step-by-step solution
Ekochiu Shrine teaches one idea and then repeats it: anything a pressure plate launches, Recall can bring back with you on top.
1. Cross the First Gap
Step on the pressure plate. The first room has a gap and a plate. Stepping on the plate sends the stone block across.
Recall it back, then ride it. Use Recall to pull the block to its original spot and step on. Recall again and it carries you across the gap.
2. Ride Up to the Chest
Set up the lift. Use Ultrahand to raise the box toward the exit and then back toward you, then Recall it into its original position.
Ride up and grab the chest. Recall the box and hop on to rise with it. Before it reaches the top, glide off to the right to land at the chest — Zonaite Shield.
Hop off at the top. Once the cube is up and in position, step off and continue.
3. Launch and Glide to Exit
Fetch the cube. In the next room, ignore the pressure plate for now and drop off the platform to find a cube on the right. Put it on the central platform, across the pressure plate.
Launch it. Step on the pressure plate to fling the cube into the air.
Ride it with Recall. Recall the cube, hop on, and let it carry you to its highest point.
Glide across. From the top, jump and glide to the shrine exit.
4. Receive the Blessing
Altar. Examine it for the Light of Blessing.
