#41 Eldin Volcano Summit
<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>
From the Volcano ascent point go to the Temple entrance, turn left and go to the ledge with the geyser next to it. Ride the geyser up to the ledge to see Blue Butterflies. Equip the Goddess Harp and strum. A Gossip Stone will appear. It says,
"I’ve heard some of the Goddess Cubes
unlock all sorts of treasure when they
fly up into the sky. Some even have
a piece of heart."
Now go back to the Temple entrance, turn right and go into the Bokoblin compound. Cross the overturned tower and into the tunnel. Watch out for Flaming Keese. On the other side of the tunnel, cross the bridge and enter the cavern. Follow the pathway into another cavern. Stay on the pathway and follow it up, veering to the left, to a tunnel. Link emerges in a large cavern. Fi appears to tell him that he has arrived at the "Volcano Summit." Red Chuchus are everywhere. On the right is a doorway leading to another cavern that has a large pool of lava. There are several "Cursed Spume" that spit evil curses. If Link is hit he will be jinxed for a short while. There are some steps that were once part of a walkway to the other side. To the right is a Goddess Cube on a rock. Back in the main cavern there is a ledge in the center with two lit torches. Beyond the torches is a Bird Statue. To the left is a steep sand ramp going uphill. This leads to ledge going down to another cavern, which is also accessible from the Bird Statue. There is a large ground area with four lit torches and several Red Chuchus. In the lava to the left are two Cursed Spumes. Toss them a bomb or shoot them with an arrow. Use the stepping stone to cross to the tunnel ahead. On Link’s left is a waterfall and to the right of the waterfall is a high ledge with Blue Butterflies. Below the ledge are two soft soil spots. One with Rupees and the other with hearts. To the right is a balcony hanging over an abyss. To the left of the abyss are several large pinnacles with vines on them.
Go back inside the cavern, turn left and go up the pathway to a tunnel. Link emerges in a large room. The Goron, Gorko, is ahead looking at a wall of fire. He tells Link that he came here looking for Goddess Cubes. He thinks there may be some beyond the flaming wall. Fi appears and gives Link the ability to dowse for Goddess Cubes. To the right is a stone marker that reads: "Quench my thirst to clear the way." Next to the stone marker are steps leading to a receptacle in the image of a frog. Go back to the waterfall and get a bottle of water. Pour the water in the frog’s mouth and the flames disappear. Gorko sees this and says: "Now we can get through here." Gorko runs past Link.
Go through the door and down some steps to another room. To the left are two soft soil spots. One has two "Eldin Roller" bugs and the other has two hearts. To the right are Blue Butterflies. Equip the Goddess harp and strum. A Gossip Stone will appear. It tells Link:
"Rumor has it there’s a piece of
heart somewhere nearby. The thing
is, to get it you need to burrow
like a Mogma."
Near the Gossip Stone are three soft soil spots. The middle spot has Eldin Ore. The spot on the left, a Rupee. The spot on the right has three hearts. On the far wall of the room is another wall of fire with Gorko standing in front of it. To the left is another Frog receptacle. Go back to the waterfall for more water.
The platform in front of the frog receptacle is missing. Above the receptacle is a platform extending from a small ledge. To Link’s left is a larger ledge with a vine-covered wall above it. Equip the Clawshots to reach the vines. Jump to the smaller ledge and pour the water in the receptacle. The frog drinks it up and the flames disappear. Gorko says to Link, "Nice work, bud" as he runs off. Go through the doorway to find steps leading down to a bridge that crosses a void. Ahead is another wall of fire.
Gorko says, it doesn’t feel like Goddess Cube stuff, but there is something "super important" hidden around there. Above the wall of fire is a large frog receptacle. Gorko tells Link that his little bottle won’t hold enough water for this one and asks if he has a larger container, and where is Link going to get all the water. Fi appears to tell Link that she can not detect any water in this area.
To the far right is a small room with jars of hearts and Rupees. To the far left is another room with jars and the window is open. Dash up the wall and into the window. Across from Link is a column with vines. Equip the Clawshots to reach them and climb to the top. To Link’s left is another column with vines. On top is a Lizalfos. Equip the Clawshots to reach the vines and climb to the top. With a few quick slices the Lizalfos is toast. Look ahead to see a ledge with vines below. Equip the Clawshots to reach them. On the ledge is a Goddess Cube. Strike it with the charged sword to send its energy into the clouds. The next ledge down has a soft soil spot with a few Rupees. Drop down and go back to the waterfall.
The Mogma, Ledd, is looking for treasure and asks Link if he has any info. Link agrees and Ledd realizes that Link needs more water than is at the waterfall. He tells Link that the water at the waterfall comes from Lake Floria. His friend used the waterways, in the Faron Woods, to get back here. Fi appears and tells Link he should go to Lake Floria. She also tells Link that he should see the Water Dragon about getting the water back to the wall of fire. Maybe by using the water basin used by the Water Dragon. Go inside the cavern and out the way Link first came in. Go back to the temple entrance and take to the sky.
Drop down into the Faron Woods and land at the Floria waterfall. Before we see the Water Dragon, let’s take care of a Goddess Cube. Up and to the left of the entrance to the Water Dragon’s lair is a ledge with vines hanging down. Equip the Clawshots to reach the vines. Climb up to the ledge and strike the Goddes Cube with a charged sword to send its energy into the clouds. Go into the Dragon’s lair and talk to Faron, the Water Dragon. She will ask if Link is mastering the power within his sword. She understands Link’s need for the water vessel and allows him to borrow it. Fi appears to say that Link will need help from Scrapper to move the water basin. Scrapper arrives and apologizes to Fi for being late. He looks at the basin and tells Fi that he can handle it. Scrapper tells Link he will wait for him in the skies above.
Go back to the Bird Statue and choose – to the sky. Scrapper will be right behind Link carrying the water basin. Go to the Eldin Volcano point in the clouds and Scrapper will move ahead of Link. As Link lands, Scrapper arrives to ask if this is where the water is needed. When told it is needed at the summit, Scrapper goes into a frenzy and says he doesn’t want to carry it.
A scene shows Bokoblins and Moblins all around. Scrapper is afraid. He then asks Link to play a game called "Protect the Robot." Go down the pathway a short distance and drop down to the left. Cross the lava on the stepping stones and take out the Red Bokoblin archer. Go into the tunnel and clear the way for Scrapper to the wall of fire. It is not an easy task. Once at the frog receptacle Scrapper pours the water in the frog’s mouth and the flames disappear. Scrapper says good bye and Gorko tells Link to go on in as he has earned the right.
