How to solve the Mayausiy Shrine puzzle in Zelda: TotK
When you enter the Mayausiy Shrine in Zelda: TotK, the Building Blocks puzzle begins. It is very easy to solve as you just have to position the blocks correctly and that’s it.
Unlock the door
After entering the Mayausiy Shrine, you will see L shaped block to your right and you have to position them in such a way that they fit each other.
So what you have to do here is to grab the block using the Ultrahand, rotate them, and place them as if they are puzzle pieces falling into place to create a bigger block as shown in the picture below.
Once the blocks are in place, the door behind them will be unlocked and you can enter it to go to the next room.
Position the 1st block
Take down the enemy found in this room to continue heading up the stairs to move on to the next puzzle step in which you again have to position the blocks in such a way that a bigger block is formed.
To do that, first, take a Z-shaped block from the right and place it on top of the central stack as shown in the picture below.
Position the 2nd block
Then take the other Z-shaped block piece from the side and place it onto the stack as shown in the image below.
Position the last block
Now, take the last L-shaped block and fit it into the stack to create a bigger complete block that will once again unlock the door behind.
Interact with the sigil
Go inside the door and interact with the green sigil on the altar to obtain the Light of Blessing and end the Mayausiy Shrine puzzle.
