That part I was able figure out, but I only had 3 available spells with 4 objects in scene to interact with. Every time I used my 3rd spell it told me to try again, and there was seemingly no right order of execution that would allow me to proceed.
OK you'll have to forgive my initial ignorance haha but it is a bit of lesson on how to teach dumb players like me. I really enjoy the sun spell puzzles and would love to see lots of these, but the puzzles at the shrine as others have said feel very trial and error-y. It was nice to return to the bar and speak to characters again. I would really like to see Bao involved heavily in the story as he seems like quite a knowledgeable character, and also because he's a talking kitty.
