In Tears of the Kingdom, the Tenbez Shrine is located on the western edge of the North Lomei Castle Top Floor near the East Hebra Sky Archipelago.

Players can use the Pikida Stonegrove Skyview Tower and glide over to the labyrinth, or land in the nearby archipelago and use a flying machine to get there. Players could also use the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower to reach the North Lomei Castle Top Floor, but the lack of islands in between leaves little room for error.

Tenbez Shrine deals with manipulating gravity and how it affects the physics of the object; most importantly, its velocity.

How to Solve the First Puzzle in the Tenbez Shrine

Players will enter the shrine to find a large ball being tossed back and forth by two launchers and a glowing switch at the top of the stairs. Hitting the switches in this shrine will toggle its gravity between normal and low.

When the ball comes to rest on the launcher to the right, players should hit the switch to activate low gravity. The launcher will send the ball much higher than normal and hit the target on the left wall.

How to Get the Hidden Chest in the Tenbez Shrine

In the first room, the shrine's secret chest lies in an alcove beneath the target on the left wall. Players should follow the path of the ball from the first puzzle and launch Link from the right launcher in low gravity. From there, he can glide down to the alcove and claim a Large Zonai Charge from the chest.

How to Solve the Second Puzzle in the Tenbez Shrine

After opening the chest, players should position Link on the left launcher to send him flying up to the ledge on the right wall to enter the next room. In this room, players will need to get the same stone ball to hit a target within a cage. They can activate the switch in the room to return gravity to normal. Looking over the edge to the previous room, players should reactivate low gravity once the ball is resting on the far launcher (previously the left launcher).

The ball will soar into this second room where it will hit the back wall and roll into a slightly lowered area hiding an automatic launcher.

Once it launches the ball, players will need to have precise timing with the switch: the ball needs low gravity to gain enough height to clear the walls of the cage but will need regular gravity immediately after to fall down to the target. Otherwise, the ball will miss the cage and players will have to begin again.

Once players successfully drop the ball into the cage, the final door will open, allowing them to claim the Light of Blessing from the statue.
