Zelda TotK: how to complete Fire Temple? Walktrough

The Fire Temple in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK) is one of the game's most challenging and rewarding dungeons. This fiery labyrinth is packed with puzzles, powerful enemies, and environmental hazards that will test your wits and combat skills. In this detailed guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to successfully complete the Fire Temple, including how to unlock all the locks and defeat the final boss.

Accessing the Fire Temple

To start your journey toward the Fire Temple, head to Goron City, located on the slopes of the volcano. Upon arrival, you’ll meet Yunobo, a key ally who will help you navigate the Fire Temple. However, before you can fully rely on his power, you’ll need to defeat him in battle to remove his mask, unlocking his abilities.

Once you’ve defeated Yunobo, proceed to the top of the volcano, where you will need to use mine wagons to ascend. This is where the adventure truly begins, as you'll face a fearsome boss — Moragia, the volcanic dragon. After defeating Moragia, you’ll gain access to the depths of the volcano, where the Fire Temple lies.

Unlocking the Fire Temple

When you reach the entrance of the Fire Temple, you’ll need to destroy the rock blocking the way using Yunobo’s charge ability. This will allow you to activate the magic circle in the main room of the temple, giving you access to the first lock.


Lock 1: Clearing the Lava

Once inside the Fire Temple, your first task is to clear the lava blocking your path. Look around for a Zonai Device that you can use to cool the lava. This is crucial for creating pathways to move forward.

  • Use the device to lower the lava levels, making the ground accessible.
  • After cooling the lava, take one of the mine wagons at the bottom of the area and ride it along the tracks.

Once you’ve completed this part, go to the side area to grab a second Zonai Device. Head south and use it again to cool more lava, creating platforms. This will allow you to break the rock protecting the first lock.

With the first lock unlocked, you can proceed to the next area.


Lock 2: Riding the Wagons

Now that the first lock is unlocked, retrace your steps to place a mine wagon on the tracks heading north. Once you’re aboard, let the wagon carry you to the next station.

  • After the ride ends, you’ll encounter a mechanism that you need to rotate in order to change the direction of the tracks.
  • Use Yunobo’s charge ability to change lanes, and head northeast.
  • Cross the bridge to the left and activate another mechanism to lower the rails.
  • Ride the wagon to the other side, then destroy the rocks on the left side of the tracks.
  • Use Recall to reverse the movement of the rocks and reach the lock.

By completing these steps, you’ll unlock the second lock.


Lock 3: Using the Thrusters

For the third lock, you’ll need to continue your journey aboard the mine wagon.

  • First, use a mechanism to shoot across a chasm with an arrow, changing the direction of the tracks.
  • Head to the second floor and retrieve a thruster located at the bottom of the area.
  • Attach the thruster to a mine wagon on the tracks heading west, and propel yourself to the third floor.
  • Once on the third floor, repair a footbridge before using Yunobo’s charge to knock a cube down a ramp.
  • Climb the cube and use Recall to reach the fourth floor, where you’ll unlock the third lock.

Lock 4: Finalizing the Track Path

Once you’ve unlocked the third lock, it’s time to move on to the fourth.

  • Return to the lower floors and ride the mine wagon back to the eastern section.
  • Head north, changing lanes as needed to navigate the tracks.
  • When you stop, destroy the rocks to return to your starting point.
  • Hit the left mechanism to rotate the rails and the right one to raise them to the upper floor.
  • Head north again to reach the top floor, where you’ll change wagons and continue your journey.
  • After your ride ends, destroy the rocks again and look for a Fire Hydrant Zonai Device.
  • Attach the device to some stones to create a ramp and unlock the fourth lock.

Lock 5: Clearing the Path for the Final Lock

For the last lock, you’ll need to use the ramp you created earlier.

  • Place the ramp on the bridge to the southwest and use Yunobo’s charge ability to clear the path.
  • After clearing the path, jump into the chasm to reach the final lock located on the first floor.

Facing the Final Boss: Marbled Gohma

Once all the locks are unlocked, return to the main room of the Fire Temple and activate the mechanism to face the final boss — Marbled Gohma, a massive, fiery creature that will test all of your combat skills.

Tips for defeating Marbled Gohma:

  • Marbled Gohma will attack with fiery beams, so use your shield and dodge to avoid damage.
  • Focus on hitting Gohma’s weak spot (its eye) when it opens.
  • Yunobo’s charge ability can help break through Gohma’s defenses, so use it strategically.

After defeating Marbled Gohma, you will have completed the Fire Temple and can claim your reward.
