Skyward Sword: Eldin Volcano
Sources reviewed:
Second surface region. Mogma live in the rock. Two dungeons: Earth Temple, then much later the Fire Sanctuary on the summit.
The Earth Temple is the second dungeon: a key broken into five pieces on the way in, Scaldera inside, the Amber Tablet and the bomb bag as the prizes. The Fire Sanctuary is the sixth dungeon, up on the Volcano Summit, and it is where Ghirahim’s second fight and Din’s Flame sit. The Silent Realm’s prize is the Fireshield Earrings, which are what let you tolerate the crater heat. The late Song of the Hero visit changes the route after Link is captured.
Eldin the fire dragon is a character in the table, not a landmark you can confuse with the mountain’s name if you read the role column. This page is the place.
The early approach is built around Bomb Flowers, Mogma tunnels and the five fragments of the Earth Temple key. The later route opens the summit after Din’s Silent Realm. Small frog statues accept bottled water, while the final large barrier requires Scrapper to carry the Water Dragon’s basin from Lake Floria. During the Song of the Hero return, Link is captured and must recover equipment before reaching the Fire Dragon. The recovery sequence is the story marker for this late visit.
