The Satori Mountain Crystal is a glowing green crystal about the size of the protagonist, Link. Offering it to the shrine location will manifest the shrine into existence, where you can get Rauru's Blessing and the corresponding rewards.

To get the crystal, enter the Satori Mountain Foothill Cave. Thereafter, you will face two paths diverging from one point. Take the left path and follow it until you find a massive Hinox trudging along. Fight and defeat the Hinox to get the Satori Mountain Crystal drop. Though they are tough by nature, Link should be able to defeat this regular Hinox with some effort.

Ensure you carry powerful weapons and ability-boosting items to take down the ogre swiftly. Once defeated, you will have acquired the crystal. You will also find useful drops such as Hinox Toenails, Hinox Horns, Hinox Tooth, and various other collectibles.

You can pick up or use the Ultrahand ability to move the crystal. Follow the guiding beam of light emitting from it. It will lead you into an open field where the Usazum shrine is located. Offer the crystal and activate the shrine. Conversely, you can also start at the shrine location and have it point you to the Hinox's whereabouts to get the crystal.
