How to Clear Gemimik Shrine in TOTK

Unlike other dungeons with several massive areas, the Gemimik shrine only features one large chamber and a statue room. The first step to crack the puzzle is by using Ultrahand to attach the fan to the device at the center of the chamber.

Then, you can grab the metal plank on the ground and use it to connect the energy circuit. Be careful not to step on it because you will get electrocuted and lose at least one heart. Once the energy from the battery reaches the fan, it will begin turning and generate a strong wind current.

You can take the stairs to jump on the updraft and use your Paraglider to bring yourself up. When in midair, you will be able to see two platforms. The right one has a chest containing a Mighty Zonaite Shield, while the left has three Flame Emitters.

You must bring down all the Flame Emitters by dropping them to the floor using Ultrahand. Afterward, you will need to turn off the fan which you can do by removing the plank and cutting off the energy. Finally, you can attach the three Flame Emitters to the fan blades and turn them on by shooting them with your bow.

It’s time to put the plank back to power the fan again. The fire from the spinning Flame Emitters will quickly light up all the candles and unlock the gate. You can now access the statue chamber to claim your Light of Blessing.
