Link must achieve the following to finish the Teniten Shrine and obtain a Light of Blessing:

1. Head down the stairs, and Link will be in a large, open room. A large platform is in the middle of the room with a Construct on top. The player will find the Shrine’s altar just ahead, with the doorway to it closed. The path back up the stairs will close, and the Construct on top of the platform will wake up and activate. 
   
2. Link will then hear a voice telling him to throw weapons at the enemy to damage it. Moves that the voice did not instruct will not affect the Construct. Go near the wall on the southwest corner to find a few Rusty Halberds. Link can use these weapons to throw at the Construct.
   
3. Next, avoid the arrows shot by the Construct. Hold the right directional button and use the right stick to select a weapon to throw at the enemy. Get fairly close to the platform with the Construct and hold the R button to ready throwing the weapon. Aim on the Construct, then, once ready, let go of the R button to throw the weapon at the Construct.
   
4. After that, Link will hear the voice and tell him to do the same but watch for the Construct’s movements. The Construct will then move side to side on top of the platform. Hold the right directional button and use the right stick to select a weapon to throw at the enemy.
   
5. Approach either the left or right side of the platform and wait for the Construct to be there. While doing that, dodge the arrows shot by the Construct. Then, hold the R button to start aiming the weapon. Aim on the Construct, and once good to go, let go of the R button to throw the weapon.
   
6. Then, the Construct is defeated. The voice will tell Link that he has now proven his mastery of the technique. So, the path back and to continue will open. Proceed through the newly-opened doorway, and Link will find a treasure chest before the altar. Open the chest to obtain a Zonaite Spear.
   
7. Finally, approach the altar and press the A button to interact with the glowing symbol. Link will then receive a Light of Blessing!
