The Mayausiy Shrine is found inside of the Forgotten Temple in the Tabantha Frontier region. The exact coordinates for the shrine are (-1165, 2602, -0083).

You’ll first need to make your way into the Forgotten Temple, which is labeled on the map above. The entrance is elevated off of the ground, so you’ll need to either glide into it from the cliffs beside it or use Ascend to climb your way up.

8. Take the Z block and fit it into the open slot on the back of the incomplete cube.

9. Grab the corner block and rotate it to fit beside the Z block while completing the corner on the side of the incomplete block.

10. Finish the cube by slotting the L block into the remaining slot on the front of the cube, opening the exit.

11. Look in the corner of the room behind your newly created cube to find a large platform jutting out of the wall. On top of the platform, you’ll be able to find a chest.
