Jonsau is a Shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Jonsau Shrine is a Deep Force Shrine testing the player's skills in finding the objectives that will solve the puzzles using Link's abilities. Shrines are mini-dungeons, housing quick trials such as puzzles or short enemy encounters. Once a Shrine has been completed, the player obtains a Light of Blessing, an item key to obtaining more Heart Containers and Stamina Vessels, and the Shrine is unlocked as a Fast Travel point. If the Shrine has not been completed but has been activated, it will be marked in yellow on the map. It will still be available for fast travel so that can players return and complete the Shrine at a later time.

Jonsau Shrine Walkthrough Guide
Reaching Jonsau Shrine
The Jonsau Shrine is located in the northwestern area of the Lanayru Region, on Mercay Island. To get there, you can launch up from the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower and glide northeast, and start island-hopping if you fall short of the island. Mercay Island is the northernmost island in the island chain. You should be able to see the shrine just out in the open in the southern portion of the island.
How to Complete Jonsau Shrine
Inside and down the stairs, you’ll find yourself in a large room with water on one side. To your left should be a runed sphere, and you should see a target above you straight ahead, held up by some pillars. As the shrine description suggests, you’ll have to use force created by water pressure to move forward in this shrine. To do so, use Ultrahand on the runed sphere and position it directly under the target. Pull it down as deep as you can underwater and then release your ability to launch it upward and hit the target. Use Ultrahand on the sphere and bring it with you as you follow the path on the right to the next room. You should be able to see the silhouette of a chest in the water here so bring the sphere to it and Attach them together. Release your ability to launch it up and then use Ultrahand to get the chest containing a Mighty Construct Bow.
When you turn the corner, there’ll be a Soldier Construct I waiting for you. Past it will be another target held up by pillars. This time you’ll have to apply the same trick with the plate. Position it under the target, but rotate it so that it’s standing up vertically. Force it down underwater as far as you can and then release it to launch it up and hit the target. Follow the path on the right to the next room.
In the next section, there’ll be an elevator above you instead of a target, obstructed by a wooden plank. Apply the same trick to hit the plank and move it away to allow the elevator to fall. Afterward, hop on it and then hit Recall on it for a free ride up. Jump and glide down to the end of the shrine.
Examine the green runes on the other side to obtain a Light of Blessing and unlock the Jonsau Shrine on your map for Fast Travel.
