Gatakis Shrine puzzle solution

In Gatakis Shrine, use the paraglider to swing past obstacles and perform the slow-motion bow and arrow trick to take out enemy structures as you fall.

1. Run off the ledge and paraglide to the lower platform.

2. Turn right to find another ledge. Paraglide around the beams and follow the wind through the opening on the left.

3. Walk to the giant open hole and look down – you’ll find a spinning wheel with a piece missing that you can handily drop through.

4. If you don’t time the jump correctly, open the paraglider to catch an updraft that will lift you back above the controls.

5. As you fall, you will see a platform made of ice. When you reach the surface, hammer the ice with a heavy weapon or a sword fused to something heavy.

6. Keep going down to the vents at the bottom of the shrine. After going through the now shattered hole, grab your bow – there are two contraptions you can take out from a distance.

7. Go back and forth between slow-motion long rants and paragliding backup for leverage. After defeating both structures, slide down to the lower ledge.

8. The end of the shrine is through the opening in the wall, but to retrieve the coffin from the shrine you must fall into the shaft.

9. When you see a lower opening, open the paraglider, catch the gust of wind and sail through the opening to another set of fans.

10. Catch the gust of wind in the lower room and break the bow and arrow again to defeat a lone Construct. Once they’re defeated, paraglide over to the platform to find a chest containing one Strong construction arc.

11. To complete the shrine, turn around, paraglide against the wind through the opening, sail up the shaft and land on the highest platform. Interact with the sigil to get one Light of blessing.
