Our guide will help you find the Mayausiy Shrine location, solve the puzzles and guide you through the “Building Blocks” puzzle to collect the chest and Light of blessing.

When you’re done, our shrine locations page and interactive Hyrule map can lead you to something else.

The Mayausiy Shrine can be found in the Forgotten Temple in the Tabantha Frontier region. The exact coordinates for the shrine are (-1165, 2602, -0083).

You must first find your way to the Forgotten Temple, which is marked on the map above. The entrance is elevated from the ground so you either have to slide in from the cliffs next to it or use Ascend to climb up.

1. Go down the stairs to find a complete bronze rectangular prism on the left, an incomplete bronze rectangular prism on the right, and two L-shaped blocks along the right wall. The goal is to recreate the left rectangular prism using the incomplete prism and the two L-shaped blocks.

2. Turn one of the L blocks left twice, up twice, and right twice. If you’re having trouble, check out the second image in the gallery for reference.

3. Place the L block on top of the block in the front of the incomplete prism.

4. Take the second L block and place it in the remaining space on the side of the incomplete prism to complete the puzzle.

5. Continue through the opened gate to find a Captain Construct.

6. Defeat the Captain Construct and go to the next room.

7. In the second puzzle room you will find a 3×3 cube on the left, an incomplete cube on the right and three formed blocks on the right. For clarity, we call the blocks from left to right — corner, LAnd Z. If you need an image reference, check the second image in the gallery above.

8. Take the Z block and place it in the open slot at the back of the incomplete cube.

9. Grab the corner block and rotate it to fit next to the Z block as you complete the corner on the side of the incomplete block.

10. Complete the cube by sliding the L block into the remaining slot on the front of the cube, which will open the exit.

11. Look in the corner of the room behind your newly created cube to find a large platform protruding from the wall. On top of the platform you will find one chest.

Link removes the corner and L block from a newly created cube and places one of them on top of the cube to create a higher level.

12. Remove the L and corner block from your cube and place one of the two on top of the block to create a higher level.

13. Climb to the top of the cube and slide to the chest to get a great Zonai attack.

14. Proceed to the exit to complete the shrine and receive you Light of blessing.
