Kadaunar Shrine Solution in Tears of the Kingdom - Water Makes a Way

To solve the Kadaunar Shrine, you will have to use the Zonai Hydrant to create slabs by pouring water over the lava. These slabs can then be used as platforms or bridges.

As you enter the shrine, activate the hydrant and then pick it up with Ultrahand. You can then point the stream of water on the lava to create slabs. If you move the hydrant quickly from side to side, you can also create longer slabs.

For the first obstacle, create enough slabs so that you can build a bridge to walk on. You can then connect these slabs and create a ramp long enough to reach the chest on the left side of the room. This chest contains a Strong Construct Bow.

To get through the stone door, pick up the weapon near it and fuse it with one of the slabs to create a hammer strong enough to break the stone.

For the final obstacle, create a slab using a hydrant, then move this slab to the end of the lava river or closer to the statues, then let it float towards you. Once it is close, use Recall on it to make it float back, then ride on it. You can then collect your Light of Blessing to complete the shrine.
