The road from Gerudo City to the Fire Temple is pretty complicated. Not only do you have to defeat two mini-bosses and climb up to the
Death Mountain summit, but you also must navigate The Depths. The
Death Mountain Depths are pretty straightforward as long as you don’t get turned around at any point. The guide below is here to help you navigate the
Death Mountain Depths and reach the
Fire Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom.

How to Reach The Fire Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom
The Fire Temple is a bit different from the others as it’s actually in The Depths instead of floating in the sky. Once you defeat Moragia at the mountain summit, you will need to dive into the mountain. If you haven’t spent time exploring The Depths before, we strongly urge you to check out this guide as it’s completely different from the sky and surface. Once you use your glider to land, you will quickly notice that the area around you is dark. Go to the Mutis Lightroot and activate it to light the area around you.
Once it’s activated, you should speak with Yunobo, who is standing right next to the Lightroot. He will tell you that the voice he heard is coming from deeper in The Depths. Go in the direction of the voice and use
Brightbloom Seeds to give you additional light. Depending on the way you go, you will need to fight a few enemies along the way, like
Black Bokoblins and
Fire Chuchus. There is also lava flowing around the depths, and stepping in it will cause Link to be killed or moved back to the edge of the lava. Try to go towards the statues to keep yourself on track. Before long, you should reach an area with several
Poe floating around and a Zonai Dispenser. Grab the
Poe, as they can be traded at statues for Gloom Resistant gear.

You will see some lava flowing down from a darkened cliff and an obvious path in front of the Zonai Dispenser. Use a Brightbloom Seed to light up the wall, then climb up it. From here on out, you will need to make use of
Brightbloom Seeds to find your way. You will come to some more cliffs and a Zonai car. Use a
Brightbloom Seed in the wall in front of you and start to climb up, don’t get tricked by the car as it won’t be able to climb walls that steep, and you will likely fall into the lava. Once you are up the longer wall, you should see a minecart track and some
Black Bokoblins in the distance. From here, you can also see the
Fire Temple.
Take the Black Bokoblins out, and place a nearby minecart on the track. Make sure to put the
Fan on it. Jump in and activate it for a quick ride to the
Fire Temple. There are several enemies along the way, like
Horriblin. Use
Yunobo’s attack to deal with them so that Link doesn’t take damage. Before long, you will arrive at some steps that lead to the
Fire Temple, and another cutscene will begin to play.
