1. Run down the ramp to the shrine and look for the yellow crystal button. When activated, the button triggers a target platform to pop out from under a stone slab in front of you.

2. Go left where a pillar shoots up and down from the ground. Wait for him to launch you into the air and then paraglide to the higher platform.

3. Usage Ultra convenient to place the giant boulder on the slope in front of you. Then hurry! It’s going to roll down the slope.

4. While the ball is rolling, paraglide back over the bottom platform with the button and prepare to press the button to activate the target platform. Since the ramp is slightly upward at the end, you’ll want to hold off on pressing the button until the boulder is at the very edge and tilts toward the platform. When the boulder hits the target platform and activates the big button, the door on the other side of the canyon will open.

5. Jump back onto the undulating pillar and let it propel you back into the air to safely paraglide across the room to the door.

2. Slowly paraglide down until you see a treasure chest dangling from under the platform. When you’re close enough, take out the paraglider, free fall and grab your bow and arrow to time a perfect shot that will release the treasure chest. Don’t forget to paraglide safely again!

3. Open the fallen box to find a great Zonai attack.

4. Return to the pillar to send yourself back into the air. This time look to the right and sail towards another pillar, which will catapult you even higher.

5. Sail safely to the highest platform and run to the visible boulder. Usage Ultra convenient to place it on the ramp, where it will begin to roll.

6. Jump off the platform, dive while airborne and paraglide before hitting the ground to get back to the crystal button in time. Press the button as soon as you land – the boulder will be directly behind you. If all goes well, the door across the street will open.
