Skyward Sword: Earth Temple

Sources reviewed: 2026-11-10

Second dungeon. Two Lizalfos, then Scaldera, then the Amber Tablet and the bomb bag.

A pair of Lizalfos hold a door inside. Scaldera, called the pyroclastic fiend on the boss list, is the fight at the end. You come away with the bomb bag and the Amber Tablet, plus the usual heart container pattern of these dungeons where the wiki records one. The weakness cell on the boss table is one source, and this chapter will not pretend to add a second.

The bomb bag is what later sealed-grounds work and Eldin paths assume you own. Leaving the temple without it means you missed the dungeon item, not a side chest. After the tablet is set, the story’s third surface is Lanayru. The Imprisoned’s first climb happens back at the Sealed Grounds on its own chapter, between desert progress and later returns.

Route and checkpoints

• Lower the entrance drawbridge by cutting its ropes, then cross the lava on the stone ball. Bomb fragile walls and use the ball to press raised switches.
• Find Ledd and clear the route to the Lizalfos pair. Defeating the pair earns the Bomb Bag; Ledd lets you keep it so you can collect Bomb Flowers for later rooms.
• Use portable bombs on cracked walls and follow the rising lava corridors. Sprint between safe ledges on the boulder slopes to reach the Dragon Sculpture.
• Fit the sculpture into the boss door. Run away from Scaldera’s charge, throw a bomb into its open mouth during the inhaling attack, then strike its exposed eye. After victory, take the Heart Container and reach the Earth Spring for the Amber Tablet.

These are the main progression checkpoints. For detailed room diagrams, use the Zelda Central chapter guide. Related collectible and boss pages below cover the optional rewards and combat details.
