Step-by-step solution
Gatanisis Shrine is a timing puzzle in one move: rewind the spring at the right instant and let physics deliver the ball.
1. Launch a steel ball into the trigger
Giant steel balls drop in a loop on the left; a spring-loaded platform runs up to a trigger mechanism on the right.
Recall the platform as a ball sits on it — the rewound spring launches the ball into the trigger above, opening the way.
Break the loop: grab one steel ball with Ultrahand and park it somewhere harmless, so no more balls land on the spring while you are walking it.
2. Ascend to the chest on top
Walk to the end of the spring platform and Ascend through the trigger mechanism to its top surface.
Open the chest there: Bomb Flower ×5.
3. Claim the Light of Blessing
Glide down to the altar entrance and take the Light of Blessing.
