Timawak Shrine Walkthrough
The puzzle presented by Timawak Shrine is called Against the Flow. The purpose of this trial is to utilize Link’s new abilities to traverse across a large pool of lava. To make things more interesting, you need to travel in the opposite direction of lava flow.
1. Upon entering the shrine, you will come across a pool of lava with nothing to cross it. Wait a few seconds as there is cold water pouring over it to create lava slabs. Use these slabs to jump across the lava pool.
2. In the next area, turn right to find a lot of lava slabs traveling through the lava pool. Wait until one comes near you and use Recall on it.
3. Jump on the lava slab and wait until it reaches its point of origin.
4. Pick up a couple of long lava slabs and attach them with Ultrahand to create a makeshift bridge. Use this bridge to reach the treasure chest.
5. Open the treasure chest to obtain a Strong Zonaite Shield.
6. Pick up the orange sphere from the platform and use a normal lava slab to return to your original position.
7. Place the orange sphere in an orange receptacle to solve the puzzle and open the door to the next area.
8. Before venturing forth, pick up a short slab that can fit through the door. Rotate the slab horizontally and take it to the next area.
9. Pick up a zonai fan from the next area and attach it to the lava slab to craft a makeshift boat.
10. Hit the fan to travel across the lava bed and reach the altar room.
