Once you’ve made it inside the Riogok Shrine, you’ll see a plank of wood on your right and some gears in front of you.

Use your Ultrahand ability to attach the wood to both gears and then hit the small statue on the right with your weapon. This will move the gears and open up the gate.

In the next room, you’ll want to grab the hidden chest. It’s located on a ledge in the back right corner of the room.

Simply grab the plank with your Ultrahand and raise it up to the chest. Then attach the plank to the chest and pull it down. Open it up and you’ll receive a Mighty Construct Bow.

Back to the Riogok Shrine puzzle, on the other side of the room you’ll see a gear and two platforms.

Un-attach the plank from the chest and place it on the first platform with your Ultrahand, then use your Ascend ability to get to the top of the first platform. Next, attach the plank to the bottom of the second platform so that it’s upright. It should look like this.

Once the plank is attached, raise the platform up with your Ultrahand and then use your Ascend and Rewind ability to get to the top.

With your Ultrahand, raise the second platform to the top of the ledge and back down. Then, use your Ascend ability to get on top of the second platform.

Finally, use your Rewind ability on the platform to raise it back up so you can hop up to the ledge. Once you do that, you’ll be able to claim your Light of Blessing and will have completed the Riogok Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
