Step-by-step solution
The Sky Mine Crystal sends Link up the mine’s launch-pad chain before the green crystal is dropped back to the shrine island.
1. Build Aircraft and Fly to Sky Mine
Build the approach aircraft. On the island southeast of Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower, attach a fan to a Zonai Wing. Add a Steering Stick for easier control.
Fly east. Point the aircraft toward Sky Mine and use Zonai Charges if it needs more power during the flight.
2. Activate Gikaku Shrine
Activate Gikaku Shrine. Land on Sky Mine and examine the shrine to start The Sky Mine Crystal.
3. Activate Launch Pads and Climb
Start the launch pads. Find the other terminal on the island and examine it.
Climb through the mine. Use the first launch pad to reach the higher island, then use the next pad to go up again.
4. Get and Deliver the Green Crystal
Move to the mineral-covered island. From the upper part of Sky Mine, travel to the nearby island covered with mineral deposits.
Take the green crystal. Lift it from its pedestal and carry it to the edge above the shrine island.
Drop the crystal. Aim for the island where Gikaku Shrine stands and release it. If it misses, the crystal respawns on its pedestal.
Follow it down. Jump to the shrine island, recover the crystal, and offer it at the entrance.
5. Claim the Light of Blessing
Claim the blessing. Open the chest for a Ruby, then examine the altar for the Light of Blessing.
