Guide to finding all five padlocks in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Fire Temple. Learn how to use Yunobo, Hydrants, and minecarts to unlock them.

When you get to the Fire Temple, you will notice a large boulder blocking it. Use Yunobo to smash through it and interact with the statue on the right. In order to get into the boss room, you will need to unlock five padlocks by hitting Gongs with Yunobo throughout the Fire Temple. Unlock the Wind Temple and Water Temple, though. The Fire Temple is confusing and can easily get players turned around. The chart below shows all five Gong locations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1

    1st Padlock: Across The Small Lava Pit on Floor 1

    Take the path to the right when heading back toward the Fire Temple entrance. There will be a Construct waiting to fight you. Go into the room, and jump on the floating rocks to get across the first lava river. On your left will be several Hydrants. Hit one to activate it, and then have Link pick it up. Carry it to the large lava pond and let the water pour for a short pit on the lava in front of you. This will create a rock for you to jump on with the hydrant. Repeat this process until you reach the minecart on the other side.

    Jump in the Minecart, and shortly after you start your ride, you will see a large device with a glowing arrow. Use the switch with Yunobo to change the direction of the track and reach the next part of the temple. If you miss it, you will circle back around to the start. Once you reach the next area, grab the Zonai Capsules and one of the Hydrants. Walk down the path with the Fire Like. Use the Hydrant to douse it, and then hit the exposed ball to kill it. It will drop a chest with a Strong Zonaite Shield.

    Use the Hydrant on the lava river down from it to make several rock pieces. Use Ultrahand to fuse these together to make a bridge for Yunobo to roll over and break the large rock in front of you. Once the rock is broken, go into the room, and you will see a Gong. Use Yunobo again to activate it and drop the first padlock.

    2nd Padlock: Across The Small Lava Pit on Floor 2

    Go back to the minecart you first rode in on. There will be a switch next to the gate on the track; hit it, and jump back in your minecart to go to the second floor. There will be a rock in your way, as well as a Construct riding in a minecart. Use Yunobo to destroy them both. Once you arrive on floor 2, stop at a small room, use a weapon on the switch to turn yourself around, and then quickly hit the large device with Yunobo to move further into the second floor. Jump out or stop the cart at the middle islands with the Rock Likes. These enemies are on fire, and you will need to destroy them with a weapon that has a rock on the end.

    Move over to the next minecart track and hit the switch nearby; this will move the tracks in front of you down so that you can cross. Once you are in the next room, grab the Hydrant and make a bridge to help Yunobo smash the large rock. This will allow the water to pour onto the water, and it will make a bridge that Link and Yunobo can cross. This will lead you to the second Gong. Hit it with Yunobo to unlock the second padlock.

    3rd Padlock: How to Reach Floor 5

    Head to the third floor. Shoot an arrow across the Fire Temple and hit the switch you used to move the track down. This will move it back so that you can reach the third floor. Hop in your minecart, and you will arrive at an area with several different tracks and a Construct. Take the track in the top right corner of the room, but part of the rails are broken.

    Place a minecart on the track, and attach Rockets to it. You can find a Rocket to the left of the track. Hit the devices, and the minecarts will take off. It will likely go off the tracks but place you high enough to glide onto the fourth floor. Defeat the construct in front of you, and ignore the minecarts with hooks attached for now. Run straight ahead and climb the small downed bridge. Use Ultrahand on the two metal grates to make a ramp and bring them back to the bridge that’s split in half nearest to the minecart tracks. Grab the Arrows from the chest that was under them.

    Make a ramp by attaching the grates to the end of the bridge so that Yunobo can break the large rock. Once this is done, climb to where the rock was. You can see the fifth floor by looking up and will notice that there are no tracks to ride there. Climb up to the fifth floor. There are plenty of places to rest if you haven’t upgraded your stamina. Once you reach the top, you will see the third Gong. Hit it with Yunobo to undo another padlock. Bust the large rock and drop back down to the fourth floor.

    4th Padlock: How to Hit The Gong in The Lava Pool

    Go back to the minecarts that are hooked together. Untangle them, and then place the hook in the center of one of the minecarts. Put a Fan on the back of it and then place it on the right rail. Ride it to the next room, and use the outside of the temple walls to walk around the left side to the next room with minecarts. Take the track that is leading up, be careful though, you will wreck in

Tips
  • Use Hydrants to make rocks out of lava.
  • Use the switch to turn the minecart around.
  • Use arrows to hit the switch and change the track.
