Orochium Shrine is built around one counter-intuitive move: the trap floor is the route.
1. Bypass the laser floor
Open the big door. An orb vessel sits to your left and a large door ahead. Pull the door open with Ultrahand. The room behind it is full of beams, and touching one opens the floor.
Go around, not through. Head for the left corner instead and put down the Soldier Construct II in the way.
Ascend the ledge. Find the ledge on the wall to your right, Ascend under it, then climb the ladder above.
Crouch through the small hole on your right — it comes out on the other side of the wall.

2. Fall to get the key
Drop to the bottom floor, deal with the Construct, then clear the rightmost corner, where another Construct guards the first chest: Arrow x5.
Now fall on purpose. Open the door at the top of the stairs with Ultrahand, then walk into a laser. The floor collapses and you land in the room underneath.
Cross the lower room past the beams, then Ascend under the platform at the end. The chest there is the small key.
Ascend through the ceiling to get back to the main room.

3. Get the orb and the wing
Unlock the orb. Clear the Constructs around the middle of the room and open the caged door with the small key. Take the orb.
Ride up. Carry the orb onto one of the moving platforms at the back to reach the upper level, and drop it in the vessel there. A cage opens with a Zonai Wing inside.

4. Fly back to the altar
Fly it home. Take the wing and the orb back out, attach the orb to the wing, set the wing on the rails, and hit the fans. It carries you to the shrine entrance.
Feed the last vessel. Lift the orb off the wing and drop it into the vessel by the altar room. Door opens — Light of Blessing.

Am I supposed to touch the lasers in Orochium Shrine?
Yes — once. After opening the upstairs door with Ultrahand, step into a beam on purpose. The floor collapses and drops you into the lower room that holds the small key. Before that point, touching a beam only wastes time.
How do I get the orb back to the entrance?
Place the orb in the upstairs vessel to open the Zonai Wing cage, then take both: attach the orb to the wing, set the wing on the rails and hit the fans. It flies you and the orb back to the altar vessel.
