The Source of the Spring Shrine in  Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a puzzle that requires you to manipulate the flow of water.

This guide will explain how you'll be able to solve the puzzle, as well as collect the hidden reward.

Using the elevator, you'll first want to make your way down the shrine. When you're inside, you'll notice that the entire area is filled with crystal formations.

Before making further progress, you'll want to clear out all of the crystals by using your standard attacks to break them, revealing hidden pathways.

Once you clear all of the crystals, you'll notice that there is a small passage ahead. By entering your Morph Ball form, make your way through the hole on the left-most side of the train.

Doing so will have you rewarded with the Missile Expansion.

To solve the puzzle, you are required to freeze the left and right drains by using Ice Shot. Doing so will increase the pressure in the middle drain, causing it to lower a platform that allows you to enter a passage.
