Do you like minecart puzzles? Attaching Fans to minecarts and riding them like roller coasters? All in the name of solving puzzles? If you said yes, you're sure to love The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's fantastic Fire Temple! It's brimming with minecarts and puzzles to solve.
If you said no, however, don't worry. We have all the puzzle solutions you need to complete the Fire Temple and save Goron City from eternal sloth. The walkthrough below will take you through the temple step by step, ensuring you don't miss a single gong.
Updated May 23, 2023: 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 find five gongs, which are scattered around the temple. To bang the gongs, you'll need to use Yunobo'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 unupgraded Flamebreaker Armor.
When you enter the Fire Temple, head all the way as north as you can go and interact with the Zonai Pedestal to 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 took at the temple's entrance and check the side rooms. You'll find a chest with ten Arrows inside and some weapons, in case you need them. Now, progress by taking the left-hand slope up to the next level. The alternative route leads to a dead end.
Hop over the lava river at the top of the slope and on the other side, use the nearby Hydrant to create lava slabs to cross the larger pool of lava.
Press on ahead until you find some minecarts with Fans on them. Use one to ride the rails, firing Yunobo at the large device directly ahead of you. This is a rail switcher and allows you to change the route the cart follows.
Ride the rail directly forward to the next building, and then turn the corner on the left. There will be a Fire Like attached to the wall here - kill it, being wary of the fireballs it spits out, and then move ahead.
You'll need to use Yunobo's rolling attack to destroy the large marbled rock blocking 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 the first gong. Use Yunobo's rolling attack to smack it, removing the first lock.
The Second Gong
Return to the previous room and smack the switch here to unlock the next section of the minecart rail. Get back in your cart and 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 automatically and then get back inside. This time, fire Yunobo at the device ahead to change tracks so 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 then hit the large switch near the next set of rails, across the bridge.
This will lower the rail ahead down 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 creating lava slabs. Use these slabs to create a long bridge that 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 to rotate the cart around, but don't get inside it yet. Instead, shoot at the device across the gap that you used to lower the rail earlier. 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 has ten more Arrows in it - grab them now. There's also a switch that you can activate to start up a nearby elevator. 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. The right-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 some Rockets - 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 a hook to the center of a minecart, you can use it to ride the upper rail to the next level. Here, you'll find a chest containing a Ruby and not much else.
Defeat the Construct up here, and then head to the back, where you'll find a few bridges in disrepair. Use Ultrahand to attach 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 ramp with a rolling attack and you'll destroy the marbled rock.
A large cube will drop down from the heavens as a reward. Get on top of it, and then use Recall on 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 the pair 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 the right device so that the associated rail raises into the air, and then ride a cart along it.
Another enemy in a rival cart will appear; use Yunobo to knock it off.
You'll have to deactivate 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 a pool of lava with the fourth gong plainly in sight. The goal here is to use a ramp made of lava slabs to shoot Yunobo up the marbled rock on the right to reveal a Hydrant.
Then, use the lava slabs created by the Hydrant to create a steeper lava slab ramp that 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 massive marbled rock across the gap - use the ramp you used earlier to shoot Yunobo at it to reveal an entrance.
To get over the gap, you'll need to create a very 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 and paraglide down to the bottom of the vertical shaft you find. At the bottom, you'll find the final gong, a switch to hit to unlock the door to the inner sanctum, and a chest containing a Strong 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.
