Updated July 28, 2025:We’ve updated this article to include a video walkthrough of the Fire Temple in Tears of the Kingdom.
How To Complete The Fire Temple
Like the other temples in Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll need to make use of your new pal’s special ability to actually complete the temple. To release the five locks on the door that you need to enter, you’ll have to findfive gongs, which are scattered around the temple. To bang the gongs, you’ll need to useYunobo’s rolling attack, naturally.
There isn’t a great deal of combat in this shrine, so having great armor isn’t at all necessary. This is good, as you’ll likely be using unupgradedFlamebreaker Armor.
When you enter the Fire Temple, head all the way as north as you’re able to go andinteract with the Zonai Pedestalto the right of the locks. This will start the temple off in earnest and also unlock a fast travel point.
The First Gong
First things first,return to the corridor that you tookat the temple’s entrance and check the side rooms. You’ll find a chest withten Arrowsinside and some weapons, in case you need them. Now, progress by taking theleft-hand slopeup to the next level. The alternative route leads to a dead end.
Hop over the lava riverat the top of the slope and on the other side, use the nearbyHydrantto create lava slabs to cross the larger pool of lava.
Press on ahead until you find someminecarts with Fans on them. Use one to ride the rails,firing Yunobo at the large devicedirectly ahead of you. This is arail switcherand allows you to change the route theCartfollows.
Ride the rail directly forward to the next building, and thenturn the corner on the left. There will be aFire Likeattached to the wall here - kill it, being wary of the fireballs it spits out, and then move ahead.
You’ll need touse Yunobo’s rolling attack to destroy the large marbled rockblocking the entrance to the room ahead. Aiming the attack from the bottom of the ramp doesn’t seem to be effective, so aim him from the top.
Behind the rocks is thefirst gong. Use Yunobo’s rolling attack to smack it, removing the first lock.
The Second Gong
Return to the previous room andsmack the switchhere to unlock the next section of the minecart rail.Get back in your cartand ride it. You may be accosted by an enemy mine cart during this section of the ride - just use Yunobo’s attack to knock it into the lava below.
When the cart comes to a stop,hit the nearby device to switch the cart around automaticallyand then get back inside. This time,fire Yunobo at the device ahead to change tracksso that you go right instead of left.
When you reach the other side, get out of the cart, destroy the small rock enemies here with a rock-breaking weapon, and thenhit the large switch near the next set of rails, across the bridge.
This willlower the railaheaddown to your level, allowing you to get in a cart and zoom over to the other side.
In this next building, you’ll have a water spout constantly creatinglava slabs. Use these slabs tocreate along bridgethat allows you to safely get to the other side. This is where you’ll find the second gong to hit.
The Third Gong
Return back over the lava and to your minecart. Use the nearby device torotate the cart around, but don’t get inside it yet. Instead,shoot at the device across the gap that you used to lower the railearlier. This will raise the rail with you on the other side, allowing you access to the next level of the temple.
Ride the rail up. The next floor has lots of rails around, so take a moment to gather your bearings. The nearby chest hasten more Arrowsin it - grab them now. There’s also a switch that you can activate to start up a nearbyelevator. This serves as a shortcut.
The first rails we’ll take are those heading up to the next level of the temple, to the right of the wall filled with devices. Theright-hand rail is broken, so you’ll need to use more than a Fan to get yourself up it.
On the wall, you’ll find someRockets- get two of these and place them on either side of the cart. This will provide enough propulsion to get the minecart over the gap.
If you attach ahook to the center of a minecart, you’re able to use it to ride the upper rail to the next level. Here, you’ll find a chest containing aRubyand not much else.
Defeat the Construct up here, and then head to the back, where you’ll find a fewbridges in disrepair. Use Ultrahand toattach the two short bridge pieces together, forming a sort of ramp that points up to the ceiling, where you’ll see some marbled rock.
Fire Yunobo up this makeshift rampwith a rolling attack and you’ll destroy the marbled rock.
A largecubewill drop down from the heavens as a reward. Get on top of it, and then useRecallon it to soar up to the next level, where you’ll find the third gong. Smack it with Yunobo.
The Fourth Gong
Return back down to the previous level - you can smack the nearby device to lower the intact rail. This time, head to thepair of rails that both have a device next to them. On the left, the device will rotate a rail, and on the right, the device lowers or raises a rail. Smack theright deviceso that the associatedrail raises into the air, and then ride a cart along it.
Anotherenemyin a rival cart will appear; use Yunobo to knock it off.
You’ll have todeactivate your Fan as your cart comes to the end of this rail, as there are no barriers to stop you. This will slow you down enough to let you jump out safely.
Walk up the short ramp nearby to reach apool of lava with the fourth gong plainly in sight. The goal here is to use aramp made of lava slabsto shoot Yunobo up the marbled rock on the right to reveal a Hydrant.
Then, use the lava slabs created by the Hydrant to create asteeper lava slab rampthat allows you to shoot Yunobo directly up at the fourth gong.
The Fifth Gong
From the previous gong, turn around and walk up the tiny slope to the right. You’ll see a massivemarbled rock across the gap- use therampyou used earlier to shoot Yunobo at it to reveal an entrance.
To get over the gap, you’ll need to create avery long bridge made out of lava slabs. Just keep attaching the slabs together end to end until they form a bridge long enough to simply walk up to the window across the gap.
Enter through the window andparaglide down to the bottom of the vertical shaft you find. At the bottom, you’ll find the final gong, aswitchto hit to unlock the door to the inner sanctum, and a chest containing aStrong Zonaite Longsword.
With all five gongs activated, all five locks will be removed from the massive door in the middle of the temple. Return there now and interact with the Zonai Pedestal to finally gain access to the inner sanctum, which has curved walls. In the middle of the ceiling is a large marbled rock - shoot Yunobo up the curved wall to break this rock and reveal the boss.
