Past a mini-miniboss fight, a reunion with an enthusiastic Goron, a boss fight involving paragliding, and a lengthy underground Depths section guides Link to the Fire Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, also known as Lost Gorondia. Like the other dungeons of this game, it’s somewhere between a traditional Zelda dungeon and its predecessor Breath of the Wild. What it does have in common with traditional dungeons is an overarching puzzle mechanic and a unique way to solve it, albeit you have what you need to solve the puzzle from the start. Here’s the Fire Temple guide to unlocking 5 locks to open the gate in Tears of the Kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom Fire Temple Guide – start and lock walkthrough

Fire Temple Door 1

After launching Yunobo at the marble rock to get in the entrance, head straight. Make a right near the end for a chest with ten arrows in it, but then continue straight. You’ll come across a locked door that Zelda went in earlier. Head to the terminal beside it and touch it.

A disembodied voice explains to both of you that you have to find five gongs in the Temple and hit them in order to unlock the door lock by lock. Weird wiring system, but okay Zelda dungeon. There’s your dungeon objective. Your map has been updated with their location, so let’s go find the five gongs.

As you exit the entrance to the big door, take a right and head down the path towards the hostile Construct with a bow. Defeat it and proceed into the next room.
This room introduces a mechanic you’ll keep using for the rest of the dungeon. You’ll notice a bunch of fire hydrants in the room. Pick one up, activate it, and use it to create cooled rock platforms to get across. This lava pool doesn’t move, so you can create as many as you need to get across.

There’s a minecart with an attached fan for your convenience. Looking down the rail line ahead, you’ll notice a circular device with an arrow. To get where you need to be, you’ll need to launch Yunobo at it while the cart is in motion.

Here at our first stop, there are some fire hydrants and a route ahead with a Fire Like-Like. Defeat the Like-Like first, then grab the hydrant and bring it down to the magma lake below to make more platforms. Attach them together to make a bridge for Yunobo, then launch him into the gong. First lock is down.

Going back towards the minecart, hit the yellow stone to open the roadblock and get back in the cart. As you take off, be ready to launch Yunobo immediately at a marble rock, and then at a Construct in a cart that attacks you on the rail. You then also have to hit another circular device to change the route. This Fire Temple is here for those of us who played Spirit Tracks.

You’ll get stopped; it’s easiest to let Yunobo deal with the tiny golem enemies at this stop. Now hit the bell to change the rail and keep going.

A Construct is here to defeat at this next stop. There’s also a chest with 10 arrows in it. Hit the bell to turn the cart around and go again. Then turn yourself around back at the last stop by hitting the bell and this time on the way back, launch Yunobo into the bell to stop the cart. Dismount and go across the little wooden bridge. Now hit this next bell and put the cart on the rail and go.

In this next room, you’ll notice fire hydrants out of reach, along with marble rock you can break, and a magma pool.

There’s a fire hydrant for your usage in the right corner of the room.

Make a bridge of cooled stone, smash the stone with Yunobo, and then fight a construct to get to the gong.

Third Lock

We’re halfway through the Fire Temple guide now. We can do this.

Return to your cart and flip it around with the bell. On your way back, hit the next bell you see with Yunobo to go up to the third floor.

Once you fight the Construct here, there’s another chest with ten arrows in the room. You can also take hydrant and rocket Zonai Capsules from the back.

To progress, go to the right back corner to find another fan cart. Set it on the broken rail path, then grab two rockets from the upper shelves and attach one above the fan, and one on the front. You can safely launch yourself to the fourth floor like this and grab more arrows in a chest.

This next marble rock puzzle sitting at the top of the climbable wall is simpler than it looks. Just attach the bridge together and launch Yunobo.

You can climb the wall with one stamina upgrade from the provided brick. Be sure to rest on the small ledge before making it to the top.

Now that you’re up here, you can hit the gong.

On your way down, if you’d like, to get that rock that’s between the bridges too short to connect, move the longer side out from the rocks and utilize Recall on it to launch him. You’ll get a rocket, flame emitter, and balloon capsule.

Fourth Lock

Use either glide or the minecart after hitting the bell to return to the previous room with the capsules and rockets.

We need to get to this area blocked by the marble rock. This will be a bit of a process.

First you have to take the right route, then the next rail at the landing spot, in order to reach the marble rock and break it to reveal a bell.

Don’t hit this bell yet- cart back to the original room you started in here. Hit the left and right bell, then go back to where you just were and take the rail all the way to the next floor to be greeted by a Construct and a chest with ten arrows.

Hop to the left rail to go up, but you’ll be interrupted by another Construct. Now just glide down to the floor across, break the marble rock, take the hydrant, and make another rock bridge to hit the gong.

Tears of the Kingdom Fire Temple Guide- The fifth and final Lock

The fifth lock is in the building just behind you when you turn around. However, a marble rock is in the way.

The easiest way to get over here is to build a ramp with the cooled lava stone, then launch Yunobo off of it.

Once you’ve done that, rip a fan off of one of the carts and attach it to the top of your ramp. You should be able to glide over to the opening.

Once you’re inside, drop down to the bottom to find the last gong and launch Yunobo into it. Now hit the yellow stone in the room to open the door, and make your way down the path to the door.

You’ve done it! The boss door is open, and you’re officially at the end of the Fire Temple guide. You can now go inside for the final boss. Make your preparations and set off.
