How to Complete the Kamatukis Shrine

Alright, let's get this Kamatukis Shrine sorted! It's located up in the northeastern part of Hyrule, in the Akkala region. Specifically, you'll find it in Deep Akkala, right near Skull Lake. You can't miss Skull Lake, it's literally shaped like a skull on the map. The shrine is on the eastern side of the lake, not too far from the cliffs.

The puzzle inside, called 'A Precise Strike,' is a bit like mini-golf with a block on a pendulum. When you first enter, don't worry about the main room yet. Head into the side room first. Here, you'll use your Ultrahand ability to attach the block to the swinging mechanism. Then, use Ultrahand again to pull the block back and let it swing to hit an orb into a hole.

If you miss the moving platform where the orb needs to go, no worries! There's an orange glowing switch you can hit to respawn another orb. Once you manage to get the orb into the hole on the moving platform, a gate will open, and you can snag a Mighty Zonaite Longsword from the chest inside. Pretty neat, right?

Now, head back to the main room. You'll be doing the same thing, but this time the target hole is further away and it's not moving. To get a better angle, try standing behind the pendulum. There are also two hills, one on each side, that can mess up your shots. You'll probably need a few tries to get it just right, so don't get discouraged!

A little tip: try pulling the block slightly to the right of the ball. This seems to help it clear the first hill. Keep at it, and once the ball finally rolls into the hole at the far end, the door to the altar will open, and you'll get your well-deserved Light of Blessing!
