Treasure and Rewards
Kadaunar Shrine Location
From Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower, launch into the air and float east. A small island here has tracks leading up to the Shrine which is in plain sight high above.
Kill the Construct on this island and the one that appears on the mine cart.
Now, you will need to make a min cart with a fan on it, and add as many of the nearby batteries that you can find as well. The Construct’s mine cart is ideal, but there’s a spare on the island as well.
Get in the cart and ride it up to the next island. Here, you can get a chest hanging from a rope by shooting it down with an arrow (a Treasure Map is inside). Kill the Construct and Ascend upwards. Another Construct is in this chamber.
Ascend upwards again to the top of the island and you’ll find another mine cart and gear to outfit it to get you to the next island.
Take the minecart to the island with Kadaunar Shrine on it.

Kadaunar Shrine Walkthrough and Puzzle Solutions
At the start of this shrine, you’ll find a faucet you can pick up with Ultrahand and place that spouts water. Place it near the lava and whack it. It will turn on and spray water into the lava.
Now, use Ultrahand to pick up and move the panels it creates of cold stone in the hot lava. Make a bridge and you can safely cross the lava on your stone bridge.
Treasure Chest Location
Bring your stone bridge to the next room and turn left: Here you can lay your bridge at an angle up across the lava pit to the ledge with a chest on it. Inside is a Strong Construct Bow.
Now, pick up the Claymore in the corner by the rock wall. You need a REALLY BIG hammer to knock down this wall, so make it with a stone slab you made with the water faucet in the lava. Equip your Fuse power, equip the Claymore and point at a rock slab to fuse it. Attack the stone wall to proceed.
In the next room you can see the shrine exit near a bridge with a flowing lava river and two spouts/hydrants. Use the spouts to create stone panels in the water like before and add them to your old bridge or build a new one to reach the exit.
