The Gatanisis Shrine is all about timing and presents a high chance of frustration. Get ready to use Recall.

1. Run down the ramp to see a giant bobbing platform and a boulder bouncing along it. Above the boulder is a target, and each time the boulder passes, it isn’t bouncing high enough to hit the target. Run to the platform and stand on the open square to the side of the ball. You’ll need to use Recall at just the right moment to send the ball flying up toward the target.

2. There’s no real secret and it takes a bit of work: as the ball rolls toward the target, you’ll want to Recall the platform to push up on the ball right when it’s under the target. Trial and error are required, but the path is clear. Once you nail it, the door to the sigil will open.

3. Before you leave, walk to the middle of the bobbing platform (while avoiding the boulder — ouchies!) and use Recall to launch yourself into the sky. If you time it just right, you should hover above the target and see a chest. Paraglide to the platform to receive five Bomb Flowers.

4. Exit into the sigil room to get your Light of Blessing.
