2. Secret Room and Updraft
Open the secret route. Defeat the Construct, turn right, and blow away the small sand pile in the corner to expose a hole into a secret room.
Make an updraft. Clear the secret room’s sand, defeat the hidden Construct, and take its Fan Guster. Set the other fan on the floor near the far back corner, switch it on, and ride the updraft to the high platform.
Open the chest gate. Use the Fan Guster to clear the sand beside the gear. When the gear moves, the adjacent gate opens; take Arrow x10 from the chest.

3. Reveal and Redirect the Light Beam
Reveal the first mirror. Return to the previous room and clear the sand near the altar chamber to uncover a Zonai Mirror. Leave it there, then use Ascend on the nearby ledge.

Send light back. Place that mirror over the light source and angle it so the beam reaches the previous room.
Return with Ascend. Use Ascend on the nearby ledge to go back.

Use fans to clear every relevant sand pile, then place Zonai Mirrors in the revealed beams so the light reaches each target hexagon.
Where are the chests in Soryotanog Shrine?
