Turn away from the shrine and go to thecentral platformof the island you’re on. Rotate the mechanism so that thelauncher is facing towards the islandwhere the green crystal light is going.
Step onto the launcher, and you’ll get flung across the islands. Use Ascend on theslim floating platforms above you, and to your left, you will see a construct soldier on amovable cube.
Glide over to the cube and kill the soldier. Attach one of the rockets on here to the cube anduse it to move the blockinto the large main floating rock where thegreen crystal light is pointingtowards. When under the main piece of land, use Ascend.

Using Ultrahand, move the ice out of the water andslide it down the rampnext to you. Time it so that the ice platform will hit the large target at the bottom of the ramp.
If you activate the ice-emitter Zonai device and throw it into the water, it willconstantly create ice platforms.
As the target beginsmoving to the left,drop the ice platform on the leftmost side of the ramp.
When you finish that puzzle, you can exit the shrine and claim your reward. There is one more puzzle to do before you go, and thereward is aMighty Zonaite Shield.
