Shrines are mini dungeons found all over the map, which are 152 in total. Exploring them can be challenging. We will provide a step-by-step guide to you on how to solve one of these shrines, which is Soryotanog shrine.
Key Takeaways
Location of Soryotanog Shrine

You can find this shrine in the Gerudo Desert region, which can be reached by using the nearby Skyview tower. The coordinates are x= -3881, y= -2964, z= 0123. Another name for the shrine is Buried Light.
First Room
Upon entering the Soryotanog shrine, you will come across a door that will require a key to open. Remove a pile of sand nearby to find a fan lying around. You must activate it and use Ultrahand ability to pick it up.
Then, take the fan to the left side of the room where you will find more piles of sand. Rotate the fan in such a way that it blows wind on the dune at the far end of the room, near the wall. You will find a chest hidden below which contains the key to the door.

Second Room
We recommend taking the fan with you as you cross the rooms. You must fight the construct enemy as soon as you enter the second room. Next, you must once again blow off sand piles in the area to reveal a buried mirror.
The second pile is located in the right corner of the room. Use the fan to blow off the sand on the pile to reveal a path leading to another room. Take the fan and cross to the other side.
Third Room
This room is optional to explore, however, we will guide you through it to find all the chests in the shrine. You will once again encounter another construct enemy upon blowing sand piles. You must defeat it and proceed to find Fan Guster.

Place it on the far side of the wall where you will see a platform above you. Rotate the fan and place it on the ground in such a way that the wind blows in an upward direction. Glide your way up to the platform using the wind thrust. You will come across a large fan stuck due to sand complied on it.
You must remove the sand for the fan to move, which will open a door right behind it. The room behind the door has another chest that contains x10 arrows. After claiming this, you must return to the second room.
Opening The Last Door
Move your way to the far left side of the room and Ascend to the platform above you. Glide your way down to the platform with the construct enemy on it, in the fourth room. Using the Fan Guster, blow off the sand to find a light source nearby.

You must find another mirror located in one of the sand piles. Grab this mirror walk up the stairs, and place the mirror in such a direction that the light passes through the grill to the second room. Ascend back to the platform above you and get back to the second room.

Use the second mirror and place it in the direction of light facing towards the last door. Once it turns yellow, wait a few seconds for it to turn green, opening itself. You will find a Light of the blessing at the end of the shrine, completing it.
This is all regarding the walkthrough of the Soryotanog shrine. It requires a great deal of mechanics revolving around using fans and mirrors to complete the puzzles. Take your time before diving into a puzzling structure to understand its mechanics then proceed.
