Mayamats Shrine walkthrough

Mayamats Shrine, as the ‘A Route for a Ball’ challenge suggests, is about solving a series of challenges using Ultrahand and balls.

1. When you go down the stairs to Mayamats Shrine, there will be a bowl for a ball on your left and the exit will be right in front of you. But there’s nothing you can do about it yet.

2. Go left and use the vents to paraglide to the next level.

3. Go left to find a ball on a shelf that is out of reach.

4. Step into the alcove below and use Ascend to jump to the ball.

5. Grab it with Ultrahand and drop it to the floor.

6. Carry the ball back the way you came and drop it into the trench on the left.

7. Jump over the ball to reach the box on the other side with a Big Zonai load inside. If you’re having trouble, you can use Ultrahand and Recall to make the crossing easier.

8. Carry the ball farther to the right. You will find a vertical channel in the wall with a funnel shape at the top.

9. Drop the ball into that funnel and use Ascend to climb through.

10. In the next area you will see a smaller ball rolling from left to right down some ramps on the wall in front of you.

11. Use Recall to pause the rolling ball on the left ramp. Let it back down a bit and then resume your Recall ability. This removes momentum from the ball so that it falls on the rails below the gap.

12. Carry the smaller ball back and attach it to the larger one.

13. Return the pair to the rails leading to the beginning of the shrine. Place the larger one on the rail and let it slide down while carrying the smaller ball.

14. Paraglide along the rails (to avoid the vent) to follow the balls. Loosen up the smaller ball from the bigger one and drop it into the bowl at the exit gate.

15. Go through the gate and gather Light of blessing.
