- Follow the corridor ahead, avoiding the lasers this time, until you can Ascend into the floor above you and grab the chest.
- Now turn around and Ascend into the floor above you again, then run forward to the ball inside the little room.
- Grab the ball and bring it up the stairs, then turn right to take the elevator in the corner.
- Take the ball up the next set of stairs and drop it into the pit to open the doors next to you.
- Grab the glider and fans from the rooms, then set them up, so they're facing back to the start of the Shrine.

- Stick the ball in the pit to open the door, and you can now get your reward and leave the Shrine.
