Mayaumekis Shrine location

The Mayaumekis Shrine is located in the Hebra Mountains Sky area in the Rising Island Chain. It is located below The Wind Temple at a lower elevation and slightly northwest. The exact coordinates are (-2947, 3051, 0897).

You can find it easily while filling the “Tulin from Rito Villagesearchchain. The shrine is accessed just after the cutscene where a voice beckons Tulin and Link to head over to the giant floating ship. After the scene ends, run up the stairs and use the trampoline at the top to jump into the air. From there you can glide straight to the entrance of Mayaumekis Shrine.


Mayaumekis Shrine ‘Downward Force’ Walkthrough

This sanctuary is actually one big trampoline gym. Be ready to get resilient with it. It’s a fun one!

1. You start this shrine locked in a room. First walk to the wall with bars. On the right side of that barred wall you will see a glowing yellow stone/switch is just behind it on the other side. Hit that brick and the door will open. We used a charged spin attack to hit the yellow rock, but you may also try other means such as a bow and arrow.

2. Enter the next room and climb the stairs. Beat the Construct on the top. From there, use a trampoline that will launch you through the hollow center of another higher level. Land on the large square platform you blasted through.

3. That platform also has a trampoline. Go ahead and jump back on and then slide. Immediately look for a floating boat slightly in the distance. It should be easy to spot as you jump up, but it will move slowly in a circle. Land on the trampoline and jump back into the air!

4. Near the floating boat and trampoline you just used is a large square platform with another trampoline attached to it. Float towards it and land there.

How to get the Mayaumekis Shrine

1. Turn around and face the direction of the circling floating boat. If you look up and into the corner you will see a chestas shown below.

2. Use the trampoline on the platform you’re standing on to get into the air. Then float to the moving boat to get another boost. That will get you high enough to land on the platform with the box. (We tried sliding directly over it using the attached trampoline, but we didn’t get enough height. So make sure you get that extra boost with the moving floating boat.) Open it to get 10 arrows.

3. Slide back to the platform you arrived on.

4. Use the trampoline again. As you jump, you’ll see part of the wall closest to you closed off with metal bars. There’s another yellow stone/switch behind them. Pull the bow in the air to activate slow-motion aiming, then shoot an arrow through the bars to hit the rock.

5. As soon as you hit it, the rock emits a greenish-blue light and a cutscene shows a hatch opening. (If you don’t get it at first, don’t worry. You can just bounce up and down until you land a shot.)

6. Use the trampoline again and slide to the highest of the three stationary floating boats. Land on it and use the trampoline. The hatch should now be open so you can jump onto the pedestal where you placed the Light of blessing.
