Step-by-step solution
Zanmik Shrine is a build-a-machine puzzle with a manual override, and the real prize is buried under the very balls you are moving.
1. Build the Scoop Mechanism
Glide down to the lower level — metal panels lie on the floor.
Join the panels into a scoop with Ultrahand and attach it to the wheel.
The floor circuit by the wheel is incomplete: drop one spare metal panel into the gap. The wheel turns and starts lifting balls out of the pit.
2. Get the Treasure Chest
If the scoop misses: stick a ball straight onto a panel with Ultrahand and raise it yourself. One ball is enough; two is a handy spare.
Chest: clear enough balls to expose the left side of the pit — a chest appears. Fish it out: Strong Zonaite Longsword.
3. Open the Shrine Door
Take a ball up top and drop it into the hole; the shrine door opens.
Take the Light of Blessing.
Chests
| Chest | Contents | How |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Strong Zonaite Longsword | Clear balls off the left side of the pit, Ultrahand it out |
