Keep talking to him until he gives you the red Goron Tunic.

Go into the first room and kill the bats. Then go up the stairs and turn left and go through the door. Talk to Darunia, then jump across the platforms to the left and step on the switch. This will open a Goron’s cell and allow you to get a key.

Jump across these platforms to unlock the trapped Goron to get key #1

Pro tip: You don’t actually have to talk to the Gorons, but they will give you hints if you want.

Get keys 2 and 3

In most of the rest of the dungeon, you’ll need to get 2 small keys at a time. Now go back to the main room and go through the door with a lock on it (the door on the opposite side of the door you already went through). Go halfway across the bridge, then jump over all the platforms to the right and get to the wall that looks strange. Bomb it. This will reveal a door. Go through the door, step on the switch, and get the key.

In the big room with the moving platforms, bomb the bombable place on the right side of the room for key #2

Now go back to the big room with the bridge and the moving platforms, and go all the way across to the other side. Go through the door and let the Goron out to get another key.

Across from the key you just got, go in the lower passage for key #3

Optional: Gold Skulltula

After getting key #3 you can play the Song of Time to move the block and get access to the top room. There’s a skulltula in there.

You can move the block with the Song of Time for a Skulltula - use the shield to block the tiles

Go through the locked door near bridge

Now go back to the other room and go to the opposite side of the bridge that you entered from. No you will be in a room with a big fire column going on and off. Now look above and to the right. There should be a big block just waiting to be pushed off the side.

Climb up the metal walls and then push the block off the side. Jump onto it before the fire starts to get to the next room.

Push the block and drop a bomb on the switch

Now go through the door to a room with a Goron right in front of you. Go to the left and up the ledges, then jump to the diamond switch.

And then push it down and use it to climb back up

Push the block off the ledge then jump down and pull it as far as it will go. Jump from the top of the block to on top of where the Goron is trapped. Climb up the fence and look over the ledge next to the switch.

Drop a bomb down there, next to the switch. Now wait until the bomb explodes, then run towards the climbable fence that the fire was at. Climb up it.

Get keys 4 and 5

Now you are in a room with boulders rolling everywhere. There are two keys in this area (before you unlock a door). Just walk around the edge of the room and eventually you’ll find both keys and the locked door.

Now go back to the boulder room and look for a locked door.

After getting both keys, unlock this door

Open it to get to a room with a narrow walkway. Look above it to see an eye, and shoot it with an arrow.

Shoot this eye in the narrow bridge room to get the map

This will unlock the door and allow you to get the map. Get the map and come back to this room.

Get keys 6 and 7

Go through the locked door to be in a lava room. Go to the right with the flame following you until you get to the unlocked door on the other side. Go through the door to be at the top level of the room with boulders. Now jump across the platform and bomb the crack in the ground.

Key 6 will be down this passageway that you bomb

Now jump down the hole to rescue the Goron in the cage you saw earlier. Get his key and climb back up the fence. Now look around for a switch, then jump platform to platform until you get to it.

Step on it to open a cage to a Goron on the opposite side of the room. Now jump across the platforms until you reach him. Now free him and get his key.

Go back to the lava-wall room

Now go back in the door you came in. This is the door that is across from the hole you bombed. Now you will be back in the room with lava and fire following you. Go to the locked door, which is about halfway between the place you just entered and the other side.

Jump across and climb to the locked door!

Enter the door, and go through the hallway to the giant fire room. You will have to watch out for many fire traps in this room.

Get through the fire maze

You can optionally jump down to the right and find the compass through the nearest door to the right.

Now go to the other side of the room and go through the fire maze to find a locked door, and go through it. You should see another Goron to your right. Keep walking and go through the next door. You will be on the other side of the room, with another fire maze. Now find a yellow switch, then step on it. Run to the platform where the fire used to be.

You'll need to back up a little and go to the left to get to this platform — You’ll need to back up a little and go to the left to get to this platform

First fire dancer

You will now fight the mini-boss fire dancing guy. You must grab the small thing with the hookshot and hit it with a sword.

You can also throw a bomb at it to knock the guy out. He will then run the other way. Stand still and charge up your sword. Hit him again when he comes back. Keep doing this until you kill him.

Charging your sword is an easy way to hit him

Now climb up on top of where the fire was. It will now raise you to the next floor.

Now go through the door and find the fence, and climb to the top. Now look over the ledge and drop a bomb over the ledge.

You guessed it, drop another bomb on this switch

This will activate the switch and let you climb up the fence.

Get the treasure of the Fire Temple

Climb to the door and enter a huge round room. Step on the switch and quickly run up the path to the chest. When you get there, get the hammer out of the chest.

Hit the switch and run up this narrow bridge to the chest

Now walk back to where the switch was, and hit the block close to it with the hammer. This will cause it to fall to the floor below.

Now you will be near a statue. Hit it from the side to remove it from your path.

Hit this statue from the side with your hammer

Now goto the next room and kill the bats, then hit the face tile with the hammer. This will cause the stairway to appear. Grab the small crate and carry it downstairs to the switch. Place it on the switch and got through the door.

Back to the very beginning for the Boss Key

This should make the huge block fall to the room with the boss door. Fall down the pit, following the block.

Now go back through the door to the entrance room and to the far side of the stairway. You should see a statue.

Hit the statue in the entry room with your hammer

Hit it from the side with your hammer. Now go through the door behind it. Kill all of the enemies in this room, then go to the next room. The floor tiles will try to hit you, so avoid them. You should encounter a big blob, that eats your shield and clothes. Kill it with bombs or arrows, and grab the optional gold skulltula.

Now go to the next room to encounter another fire guy.

Kill it the same way you killed the previous one. Go through the door after you killed him, and hit the rusted switch with your hammer. Now get the Big Key and head to the main room. Climb up the stairs and go left, back towards the boss room.

Grab some fairies on the right side of the pre-boss room

Boss: Volvagia

Now you will fight Volvagia, the huge (long) dragon.

To hurt it, you must hit its head with a hammer when it comes above the ground, then hit it with your sword.

You have to wait until Volvagia pops his head up, then hit it with a hammer and then slice him with your sword

Try not to get hit by his fire hair. When it comes above and makes rocks fall, stay back. The rocks generally only go in one spot, so watch out. Use your Hylian Shield and aim it upwards to help block the rocks. Keep hitting his head with the hammer, and hitting him with the sword until he dies.

Now it’s time to head to the Ice Cavern.
