1. Grab the Fan

In the first room, grab the Zonai Fan sitting on top of the pile of sand near the locked door using Ultrahand.

2. Use the Fan to Blow Away the Piles of Sand

Once you have the Zonai Fan, turn it on and blow away all the piles of sand on the left corner of the room. It will reveal a chest with a Small Key inside.

3. Open the Door

Use the Small Key that you got from the chest to open the locked door. Enter it and make sure you bring the fan with you.

4. Blow Away the Pile of Sand in the Right Corner of the Room

Enter the next room and defeat the enemy Construct inside. Then, turn right and blow away the small pile of sand in the corner. This will reveal a small hole that you can enter to reach a secret room.

5. Take a Fan Guster from an Enemy Construct and Use a Fan to Create an Updraft

Next, place the Zonai Fan on the floor near the far back side corner of the room and turn it on so it creates an updraft. Use this to get to the higher platform.

6. Remove the Pile of Sand Near the Gear to Reach the Chest

Use the Fan Guster you got from the enemy Construct earlier to remove the pile of sand beside the gear. Doing so will make the gear move and open the gate beside it.

Open the chest inside to get Arrow x10.

7. Ascend on the Ledge Nearby

After getting the Arrows from the secret room, go back to the previous room and blow away the pile of sand near the altar chamber to reveal a Zonai Mirror. Leave it in this room for now.

In the meantime, let's head to the next room by using Ascend on the ledge nearby.

8. Blow Away the Piles of Sand in the Enclosure

Drop down to the enclosure and defeat the enemy Construct roaming around. Afterwards, use the fan in one corner of the room to blow away the piles of sand everywhere. This will reveal a big beam of light and a Zonai Mirror.

9. Reflect Light to the Other Side of the Room

Next, place the Zonai Mirror atop the source of the big beam of light. Position it in a way that it reflects light all the way to the previous room.

10. Go Back to the Previous Room

Go back to the previous room by using Ascend on the ledge nearby.

11. Shine the Light on the Mirror on Top of the Altar Door

Grab the Zonai Mirror that you left in this room using Ultrahand, then use it to reflect light on the hexagonal shape on top of the altar door.

12. Examine the Altar

Enter the chamber once the room opens and examine the altar to get a Light of Blessing.

Arrow x10

In the secret room, defeat the enemy Construct hiding underneath a pile of sand and take the Fan Guster that it will drop.

Then, grab the Zonai Fan from another pile of sand and place it on the floor near the far back side corner of the room. Hit the fan with a weapon and ride the updraft it creates to reach the higher platform.

Next, use the Fan Guster on the pile of sand near the big gear. Once the big gear moves, the door beside it will open. Open the chest inside to get Arrow x10.
