II. The Temple of Fire
Time to tackle the first temple, the Temple of Fire. You should be on the Isle of Ember if
you followed the previous section correctly so lets start from there.
-Isle of Ember-
Don't bother entering the house near by, nobody is home. Go northeast until you come to the
fortune teller's house (there is a sign pointing the direction) enter and go to the
basement. The door will close behind you. Kill the enemies, but watch out they shoot things
at you. Once you destroy them all the door will open again. Go to the second door and there
is a brief cutscene. You have to yell into the microphone on the DS to let the person now
you're there. She will tell you that her assistant Kayo only knows the secret to opeing the
door. Read the map, it says, "Mark the locations of our island's three torches." Quite
obvious what we have to do, no?
Leave the building and head north. As you can see the island is broken up into 5 rings, so
remain on the ring you are on. You'll see electric Chu-Chus so watch out. You can only kill
them when they aren't emitting electricty. Wait for them to stop and then kill them. There
are other enemies but they're pretty easy to kill. You'll see a torch on the outer ring once you
walk a bit from the fortune-teller's house. Mark it on your map. Keep walking on that ring
and when you come to steps, go onto the outer ring and east until you see a corpse... talk
to it (my thoughts exactly).
~CUT SCENE~
There is another torch, so mark it on your map. Return to the fortune-teller's house. Wait,
where is the 3rd torch? It's in he house to the southeast of the fortune-teller's, but the house and the torch with it
are already marked on the map so there is no need to go there. Mark the 3 torches on the map
in the basement and then the door will open.
~CUT SCENE~
There he goes again. Anyways, if you talk to Astrid again, she will say that she released
the gate to the Temple of Fire. Great, now go to where they pointed on the map. The door
will open as promised if you tap it, then go west. Keep going up the path and you'll see the
volcano is erupting. Avoid the falling rocks and you should be fine (they show shadows where
they fall).
There is a chest on the 4th ring that contains a red rupee if you wish to get it (steps lead
to it after the temple door). At the temple door you will two candles. Stand next to them
and blow into the mic to open the door. Some seal that was. Enter the temple and let's
begin.
-The Temple of Fire-
Walk north and don't walk into the flames (duh) as Ciela will point out the obvious. You'll
come to a swinging flame, so walk with it until you get to a right room. Jump across the
platform, go south and enter a room which the door will close upon your entrance. Kill the bats and
get the key in the chest. Head back to the platform you jumped across, but before you use
the key, look at the map to the right. You'll see an arrow pointing to a direction you have
to go. This is refering to the the locked room above. There are trap doors that don't appear
on your map so make sure you write the path in. Now use the key on the locked door.
Follow the path until you come to 4 orbs. Do a spin attack to hit them all at the same time.
A door will open to the south. Enter the door and go up the steps. Now you'll see two colors of
blocks: red and blue. Hit the orb and the blocks will change to up or down depending on what
the color is. Hit the block and the red blocks will go down. Now you can use the path to the
east. Follow the path and into the room for another battle. Now blobs will attack you. The
big ones do damage but then break into small ones if you hit them. The small ones can't do
much except latch onto you and annoy you. To get them off move the stylus back and forth
quickly in a line. They die just like any other monster however. Open the chest. Yay, you have
a boomerang!
As they explain you hit the boomerang icon in the top right of your screen and then draw a
path you want the boomerang to go. You can use the boomerang to hit stuff and also to
retrieve items for you. To the right you can pratice this. Hit the pot and get a heart, and
then hit the orb and the flames lower. Head to next room. There are two more orbs which you
have to hit with the boomerang in one path. Also watch out for the torches because they
shoot flames at you can cannot be killed. Go down the stairs now.
You see yet another orb, but this time it is behind a wall. Stand behind the red blocks and
use the boomerang to hit the orb. This lowers the blue blocks so you can now go down that
path. Make sure you don't hit any walls or it doesn't work obviously. The next room has the
same puzzle. Go down and the door will close after you. These enemies are harder than the previous, but still very easy. You have to hit them with your boomerang so they lose
their fire. When they are bouncing around, kill them with your sword. Now go up the stairs.
You'll see more spinning fire and also some fire bats. The fire bats can only be killed
with the boomerang, so watch out. Pull the lever below then jump across to the other side
while watching out for fire. If you destroy all the enemies in the room you get a red rupee.
Yipee. Anyways, pull the other lever and the door will open and then stand slightly outside
the room. You'll see this is another mouse puzzle but you don't have a block this time. Hit
the mouse with the boomerang instead. An easy way to do this is to draw a line and just
release the boomerang when it comes out instead of drawing a million lines and releasing
them instantly. Get the key.
Now head southeast (room next to the 2nd lever). Hit the orb with the boomerang and then the
monster with the boomerang. It will become dizzy so while it is, kill it. Hit the orb again
while inbetween the red and blue blocks (the red still should be down). Use the key on the
door and go up the stairs. Head to the room directly south of where you just entered but
watch out for the speedy fire. Look at the map to the left and it has 4 platforms
marked 3, 2, 1, and 4. Mark likewise on your map in the upper right hand room and then head
there. Kill the green blobs that you fought before.
Now stand the middle of the room and use the boomerang to hit the orbs in the order they
said to. Use the boomerang to get the key that appeared. Now head southwest until you come
to a locked door. Use the key and you'll see the boss door to the left. Keep heading west
and you'll come to another battle room. We've already reviewed how to kill all these
creatures, just make sure you watch out for the evil torch. I like to hit the chu-chu with
the boomerang and then kill it, but it is up to you. The doors open so head to the north.
We've seen these enemies too, so kill them by hitting them with the boomerang, etc, etc.
Head to the room to the north. Hit the switch and one of the torches will light. Use the
boomerang by first hitting the lit torch and then directing it to the other torches to light
them. If you do it correctly the fire will go down in another room. Head to that room but
before you try to jump over the gap, use the boomerang to hit the orb so the floor goes up
and you don't die. Avoid the spinning fire and go north to the chest which has the boss key.
It is very heavy so you have to carry it all the way to the door. This is pretty straight
forward, just remember to go with the fire's direction, not against it. Tap the boss's door
and it will open! Time to fight your first boss! Break the pots if you need health then go
to the room above.
-BOSS: Blaaz Master of Fire-
Ok, this boss is really easy, mostly because he is the first one. He'll split into 3 little
versions of himself who can't be killed by a sword. Their only attacks are shooting little fire balls that are easy to dodge, so there nothing to worry about. Don't touch them of course because that will hurt you. To get him back together again, use the boomerang on
all 3 of them but in a specific order. On the above map you'll see the icons for each one, but they are slightly different. One has 1 horn another has 2 and another has 3. Use the boomerang on them in that order (1, 2, 3) and he will go together again.
Now use a sword to slice him up in his original form. He will probably dissappear but you can easily track his movements on the map. If you get too close he will attack you with a slap or something. Then after that he will make flaming rocks fall at you which can be dodged the same way the volcano's falling rocks could (shadows appear before they hit the ground). He may then split up again, but then just repeat the above process. Keep attacking his orginal form until he dies.
~CUT SCENE~
Get the heart container and leave. Congratulations you've beaten the first temple! Now head back to Astrid's house.
~CUT SCENE~
There will be a guide to get all those gems which give you some nice power ups.
