Golden Skulltulas: 4 // 50/100

On Death Mountain Trail, use the plant at the entrance to Dodongo’s Cavern (if you planted the bean, that is) and collect a *Heart Piece*. Once in Goron City, you can get one more thing. On the little pedestal where the Goron Ruby should have been (at night), use the hookshot to get the *Golden Skulltula* there. You'll notice only one Goron rolling around. Bomb him to stop the almighty rolling and you'll hear that his name is the same as yours! He is Darunia's child named after you. How cute :o) He'll give you the *Goron Tunic*, which will protect you from the heat of Death Mountain Crater and the Fire Temple as an adult. He also tells you what's going on here and how to enter the Fire Temple. Head to Darunia's room where you first met him as a kid and pull the statue on the back wall forward until you hear a chime. Enter to Death Mountain Crater. Remember to put on the Goron Tunic! Hookshot over the broken bridge and Shiek will appear to teach you the Fire Temple's warping song, the Bolero of Fire! Okay, now continue forward, then left through the entrance and down the ladder to the Fire Temple. Once inside, go up the stairs and through the door on the left. Darunia is there and welcomes you. You must free the Gorons trapped throughout the temple and then fight the dragon boss. Okay, need some help? Alrighty then! First, go left and step on the switch to free the first Goron. Each Goron you free will give you a hint. If you're wondering what the "Goron special crop" is, I think they're referring to bombs. Anyway, once he's free, open the chest and get a key (you now have 1 key.) Exit to the main entrance and open the locked door straight ahead (you now have 0 keys.) This room is quite spacious! Cross the bridge and go right from the end. Bomb the dented wall there, enter the door and free another Goron. Open the chest for another key (you now have 1 key.) Exit this room and go to the left side of this huge room. Enter the door below the blue block first and free another Goron. Get another key from the chest (you now have 2 keys.) After you exit the door, you can play the Song of Time to move the blue block and use it to reach the door higher up. Enter and beat the Like Like and fake tiles. Get the *Golden Skulltula*, then exit and play the Song of Time again to return the block to its original position. Enter the locked door at the end of the bridge (you now have 1 key.) Cross the thin path and climb the fence to the top. Get rid of the Keese (bats), then drop down to a block. Push it over the edge, then climb on top of it. The force of the flame there will push the block up with you on top of it. Enter the door there using the key (you now have 0 keys.) Ignore the poor Goron locked up and climb the ledge on the left. Beat the Torch Slugs and push the block over the edge. Then go down and pull it over the picture of a face on the floor. Use the block to climb the fence. Throw a bomb down to the ledge below. The bomb will activate the diamond switch, putting the fire below the fence out. Quickly climb the fence and enter the door at the top. This room is full of big boulders, but it's not too hard to find stuff, so search well! Go left from where you entered and you'll eventually find a trapped Goron. Free him and collect the key in the chest (you now have 1 key.) On the opposite side of the room is a big cove with a door. Enter the door and free yet another Goron. Get another key from the chest (you now have 2 keys.) Exit that room and look at the wall further left. Bomb the wall and get the *Golden Skulltula* (you should hear it from the cove.) That's a hard Skulltula to find, so I'll put in the walkthrough :o) Find a locked door in this big room and enter it (you now have 1 key.) This path is quite narrow, so try not to fall down! First, shoot the eyeball switch on the wall with an arrow and enter the newly unlocked door. Take the dungeon map from the big chest and then exit. Enter the other locked door (you now have 0 keys.) Cross over to a grate, but watch the wall of fire coming up behind you! Cross right over to the other side and enter the door. Now, we're on top of the maze room! Jump over to a platform and beat the Torch Slug. Bomb the cracked floor. Free the Goron down there and get a key from the chest (you now have 1 key.) Climb back up and jump over to a switch. Step on it to free a Goron on the other side of the room. Make your way over there and talk to him. Don't forget that key (you now have 2 keys.) Backtrack to the room with the wall of fire. Walk across the grate and jump up to that locked door (really, just jump!) I know it looks impossible to do, but gravity lends a hand! Enter the locked door (you now have 1 key.) Enter the next door to a big room with invisible firewalls and machines. Okay, then move right to a door. Enter and get the compass in the chest. Exit to the last room. Make your way to the left side of the big room now. Enter the locked door there (you now have 0 keys.) Ignore the poor Goron and enter the door straight ahead. We're now on the other side of that big fire room! Head to the left and step on the switch. Quickly make your way over to where the flames were. Jump over and bomb the fake door. Enter the real door behind it. This is a mini-boss of the fire temple, the Fire Dancer. See the boss section for details on extinguishing him. When he's finished, climb on the centre platform to go up a floor. Enter the door there and here's a familiar site! Climb the fence and throw a bomb down to the diamond switch. When it's activated, the fire will go out for a limited time. Climb the fence quickly and enter the door at the top. Step on the switch and quickly, but carefully, go up the circular path to a big chest with lo and behold: the *Megaton Hammer*! Go back down the path and use the hammer to smash that face on the block. Use the hammer again to break the statue in front of the door, then enter it, of course! In this room, watch out for the Keese and use the hammer on another face block. Stairs appear, but the switch at the bottom is a nasty one. Use one of the boxes at the top of the stairs to hold down the switch. Enter the door. Hammer yet another block and whoa, big fall! We're at the fire room! Climb up and, thanks to Navi, hammer the rusted switch. Enter the newly unlocked door. In this room, play the Song of Time to move the block. Use it as a platform and hammer the rusted switch on the other side. Drop down and free the Goron that we passed before. Get the key from the chest (you now have 1 key.) Exit this room and hammer the block. This fall is even bigger down to the room where we met Darunia! But, we don't have the Boss Key....yet. Exit this room to the main entrance of the Fire Temple. At the bottom right of the room is a statue. Hammer it up and enter the door there using that key (you now have 0 keys.) Get all the Keese and Torch Slugs in this next room, then enter the newly unlocked door. Beat the Like Like and Fake Tiles, then grab the *Golden Skulltula* (hmmm....familiar room?) Enter the door on the left. Another Fire Dancer to beat. See the boss section again, if necessary. When he's finished, get Bombs from the chest, then enter the south door. Hammer the rusted switch and the last Goron is freed! Inside this unique chest is the Boss Key! YAHOO! Ahem...go through the south door to the main entrance, then enter the left door to the room where you saw Darunia. Enter the boss door and fight the boss of the Fire Temple: Volvagia. See the boss section for info on hammering him. When you're finished with him, get the Heart Container and step into the blue light. Enjoy the awesome volcanic eruption! You are once again transported to the Chamber of Sages where Darunia is proclaimed the Fire Sage and gives you the *Fire Medallion*! Two down, three to go!
