Kadaunar Shrine Walkthrough
The puzzle of Kadaunar Shrine is known as Water Makes a Way. This puzzle can only be solved by using zonai hydrants to cool down lava and create solid platforms by freezing it.
1. There is a hydrant to the left of the shrine’s entrance. Hit it with any weapon to activate it and then pick it up.
2. Take it near the lava bed and spray water on it to create a lava slab.
3. Keep carrying the hydrant and create lava slabs to move to the next section.
4. Pick up one lava slab with Ultrahand. Take it to the right, where there is a breakable wall.
5. Fuse the slab into a weapon to create a makeshift hammer. Use that hammer to break the wall (you can also use bomb arrows for this purpose).
6. Pick up the remaining slabs and attach them to craft a long raft.
7. Place the slab to the left of this room like a plank to reach the platform.
8. There is a treasure chest here. Open it to obtain a Strong Construct Bow.
9. Take the lava slab plank through the wall you broke earlier and place it as a ledge on the bridge (lowered into the lava bed).
10. Pick up another hydrant and use it to create more lava slabs. Use those slabs to move forward and reach the altar room.
11. Interact with Rauru and Sonia’s statues to finish the trial and earn a Light of Blessing as a reward.
