Ihen-a Shrine Location and How to Enter
The Ihen-a-shrine can be found within the Lanayru big spring region at the coordinates of (3784, 0579, 0485). You won’t immediately see the glowing green sigil you usually leave in shrines. Instead of the seal, there’s some moving junk in the way. Merge some Splash Fruit to a arrow, then shoot it at the junk; that will reveal the sigil, which will allow you to enter the shrine.
Ihen-a-shrine walkthrough
After removing the blockade to the Ihen-a-shrine, start the “Midair Perch” puzzle.
How to solve it:
1. Go down the stairs to the main shrine room.
2. Usage Ultra convenient to join the flat, square stones into a stair form leading to the raised platform. Climb the stairs and go to the next room.

3. You see a gap. Straight ahead you see one of those stone squares of the Zonai, and to the right a large metal grille. Here’s what you need to get over the gap.
4. Hit the square stone to activate the Zonai attack. Place it in the opening. If you don’t activate the Zonai charge, it will fall into the canyon. (Another will, however, appear in its original spot.)
5. Take the metal grid and place it on top of the Zonai loaded square. Use this combination as a bridge.
6. You’ll need both metal grates again, so you might as well move them further into the room once you cross.
7. Place the stone Zonai loaded square in the opening, about half way up the top of the raised platform and at an angle.
8. Place the grid on the stone, also at an angle. Confused? It should look like this:

9. Use the makeshift bridge to reach the higher platform. If you need to cross another small gap at the top, jump and use your glider to cover the distance.
10. Go left into the next room. There is one on the left side wall of that platform chest on a platform. Use the floating square bricks to create a staircase to access it. You get five arrows for your problems.
11. You see a ball that you have to move over the wide opening. You have to use the square stones to get there And to take the ball. Use three stones for a moving bridge and one stone to move the ball.
12. Attach two squares and place them in the canyon, near the rock face. Place the third stone in front of it, but separate.

13. Grab the ball and attach it to the fourth stone. Then use Ultrahand to move that stone as far as possible across the hole. He just stands there while we cross.
14. Jump onto your first two squares, then jump to the third square.
15. Turn around and take those two squares and place them in front of you. This is what it looked like for us:
16. Jump on those squares and grab the single square and do the same – move it in front of you to complete the bridge. You should be able to make it to the other side, but if not, keep making this move by moving the squares as you progress.
17. You should now be able to reach the ball with Ultrahand after crossing the bridge. Grab that and put it in the round slot on the floor. That will open the gate at the other end of the room.
18. Enter that room and examine the sigil to complete the shrine and the Light of blessing.
