Your expert guide to conquering Skyview Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. Learn how to find the Dungeon Map and defeat Ghirahim.

Alright, so you've made it to Skyview Temple! This is your first real dungeon in Skyward Sword HD, and it's a bit of a maze, but don't worry, I've got your back. We're going to find the Dungeon Map and then get ready to face the boss.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start in a large, open area with a central structure. Your first goal is to find the Dungeon Map. Look for a path leading upwards and to the right. You'll need to use your sword to cut through some vines blocking the way.
  2. 2
    Continue along this path, and you'll eventually come to a room with a large, dormant statue. There's a switch on the wall here. Hit it with your sword to activate the statue, which will then move, opening up a new path.
  3. 3
    Follow this new path. You'll encounter some Bokoblins, so be ready to fight! After dealing with them, you'll find a chest. Open it up – inside is the Dungeon Map! Now you'll have a better idea of the temple's layout.
  4. 4
    With the map in hand, backtrack a bit to the room with the activated statue. You should now see a new platform that has risen. Jump across to it.
  5. 5
    This next section involves some platforming. You'll need to time your jumps carefully to cross the gaps. Keep moving forward, and you'll eventually reach a large, circular room.
  6. 6
    In this room, you'll face your first real challenge: the boss of Skyview Temple, Ghirahim. He's a tricky one, but we'll get through him.
Tips
  • Don't forget to check every corner for Rupees and Heart Containers.
  • Pay attention to the sounds the temple makes; sometimes they can give you clues about hidden passages.
  • For the Ghirahim fight, remember to use your shield effectively to block his attacks. His patterns can be learned, so don't get discouraged if it takes a few tries!

After defeating Ghirahim, you'll be able to access the Skyview Spring and collect your first Sacred Flame.
