Back, once again, with another The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD guide? Could it be anyone else but me? That's a trick question, the answer is no. We're back once again with another guide for this Wii classic, reborn again on the Nintendo Switch. This time we're due to explore the Volcano Summit. We'll be completing Din's Silent Realm, making our way into the Volcano Summit, and finally entering the dungeon of this area, the Fire Sanctuary, all in the name of earning ourselves Din's Flame.

In the guide below we'll be taking you all the way from Din's Silent Realm to finding the entrance to the Fire Sanctuary. Just scroll down below for everything you need to know about the Volcano Summit in Zelda: Skyward Sword HD.

Din's Silent Realm And Getting The Fireshield Earrings – Zelda: Skyward Sword

This will be your third time tackling a Silent Realm, so you won't need tips – though we do actually have a bunch here, if you need them. The Silent Realm begins on the bridge leading towards the dungeon, where you originally met Impa. Again, it's marked with Blessed Butterflies, and can be found via Dowsing. Once you complete this Silent Realm you'll be rewarded with the Fireshield Earrings, which allow you to push through rooms filled with overwhelming heat. Remember anywhere like that? Well, you should…

Volcano Summit, Using The Fireshield Earrings – Zelda: Skyward Sword

In order to find the volcano summit, first make your way to the entrance of the Earth Temple. Head to the right, where you had to go and find the Key Pieces before, and follow the path up. You will cross the bridge you extended ages ago, and find the fire room you had to sprint through before to access the slide. Except this time there's no need to sprint, and you can make your way further into the heat of the volcano. Up the ramp there's the entrance to the Volcano Summit.

Make sure not to take a Wooden Shield into this area, as will burn up very quickly. First, run up the sandy path to the left side of the room, and then drop down into the area below. Next hop the stones to the left, and run into the door straight ahead of you. You'll be taken to the outside of the dungeon, here there is a small pool of water, and you'll need it. Fill some Empty Bottles with Water. You'll need at least two bottles full, and will need to return and refill it if you only have one with you.

Back inside the volcano, head immediately left and through the first door. Gorko the Goron is in here again, and he'll give you the ability to Dowse for Goddess Cubes – nice. The frog statue on the altar has its tongue sticking out – pour some water on the thirsty devil, and the fiery path will open up. In the next room, look high on the left wall to find some vines. Climb up with the Clawshots, and then make your way onto the balcony above the frog statue on the wall. Walk to the edge and pour another bottle of water onto its tongue. Now, the next frog statue is massive, so a single bottle of water won't do – we're going to need a large basin. Do you remember seeing one somewhere before? I guarantee you've seen one – let's go find it.

Opening The Fire Sanctuary On Eldin Volcano Summit – Zelda: Skyward Sword

We'll need to drop into Faron Woods again – yes, a fair distance away. Land at Floria Waterfall outside the Ancient Cistern, and you'll be able to visit Faron the Water Dragon very easily. Once inside Faron's chamber talk to her, and she'll be happy to lend it to you. Fi can call the cargo robot down from Skyloft, and he'll offer to carry it – though it's pretty big. Take the nearest Loftwing Statue back to the sky, and return to Eldin Volcano.

You won't be able to choose where you land – you'll be right at the start of the Eldin Volcano area. There are a lot of new enemies in the area, and the cargo robot isn't going to be able to carry the basin up the volcano easily. You will have to escort him, defeating every enemy in the way, and ensuring he doesn't take even a single hit of damage. It's gonna be tough, but you can do it. Use your Bow to take out distance enemies, if you can, to ensure they can't damage your robot companion.

If you opened up all the shortcuts on your first time through, you'll be able to stick to the left to quickly find your way up to the sandy hills, the Earth Temple entrance, and, well, the rest of the route is written up above. Just be patient and make sure to clear all enemies, especially those using arrows and projectiles.

Your biggest foes will be Bokoblins with arrows, big Moblins with metal shields, and the fearsome Lizalfos. Luckily your robot will stay back and away from most enemies, as long as you clear your way through most of them.

Eventually you will make it all the way back to the entrance of the Fire Sanctuary, and your robot will pour the basin of water on the giant frog's tongue, shutting off the fire and opening the way into the Fire Sanctuary, at long last. Congratulations on making it this far, as this is one of the final dungeons in the game – we're nearing the end.
