Ekochiu Shrine Puzzle Solution – Rise and Fall

To solve the Ekochiu Shrine Rise and Fall puzzle, you will need to use Recall on the cubes to be able to use them as transport to get across the obstacles.

For the first obstacle, step on the pressure pad to activate the launcher and shoot the cube forward. Wait for the cube to come back then ride it. Use your Recall on the cube to make it go forward again towards the other side.

On the next obstacle, there will be a cube that falls and gets carried over by the water. Same as before, climb on it then use Recall; stand near the edge that’s closest to your original position so that you do not fall off when it flips. Before moving to the next obstacle, take the time to check the chest on the corner to get a Zonaite Shield, then climb back up again.

For the final obstacle, place the cube on the metal platform, then stand on the pressure pad to launch the cube up high. Step off the pad and wait for the cube to drop back down.

Climb the cube then use Recall on it. Wait for the cub to reach its peak then jump and glide towards the statues. Get your Light of Blessings to complete the shrine.
