Second Puzzle Solution and chest location

In the second Puzzle platform, you need to connect two platforms to create an even longer bridge and get to the other side of the next chasm. Complete the following

  • Confirm the connection with the “A” button
  • Move your custom long bridge above the chasm to get to the other side.

A chest is on the pillar before you, just after the second puzzle in the Ukouh Shrine. Use your custom bridge to create a sloping approach and get your loot.

Third Puzzle Solution

The third puzzle is probably the most challenging and will teach you how to utilise, rotate and connect objects with Ultrahand ability. You’ll find a distinct platform and two big hooks next to the final filled with lava chasm. That’s where the last challenge start. Complete the following steps:

  • Connect two hooks to both sides of the platform using the Ultrahand ability
  • Ensure that both hooks face the same direction.
  • Move the custom platform on the zip line.
  • Quickly Jump on the platform before it leaves. – It will start to move slowly, so you should have plenty of time to climb on it.
