1	Go inside the entrance and interact with the yellow swirl. After Tri creates the entrance, dive in to access a dungeon room where someone who looks like Link is standing. Follow Link to where he's headed and climb the ladder.
2	Head to the right and conjure a Boulder Echo to block the wind coming out of the wind cannon. Once blocked, climb the walls and jump towards the platform where a Boulder is blocking your path. Push the Boulder down and block the wind from the wind cannon below. From there, jump to the left and climb the ladders leading up the room.
3	You'll reach a room that has three entrances, with both the east and west ones being accessible while the north one requiring a key. Activate the waypoint you find inside and head to the west entrance first.
4	Once you've entered the room, flying tiles will head in your direction. Interact with a glowing tile and learn the Flying Tile echo. Avoid the Flying Tiles or summon a Boulder Echo and hide behind it until all the Flying Tiles are gone. Open the treasure chest that spawns after all the tiles are gone to get 20 Rupees.
5	Head back to the east room, and enter the doorway on the right. Grab and pull the mechanism near the entrance to open the blue door on the other side.
6	You'll notice that the floor leading to the other platform is moving towards the left. Use the Flying Tile Echo, Strandtula Echo, or Trampoline Echo to reach it. Summon any of these Echoes to reach the ledge leading to the next room.

You can also summon an Ignizol Echo and throw it towards the enemies to burn them. Proceed west to exit the room and head south to the exit to progress. There is also another side of this room with a chest, but its behind a wall. Ignore it for now and head south to exit.

7	Defeat the Holmill you find inside the room. Use Bind to remove it from its nesting hole. From there, blow away the sand dunes using the Wind Cannon echo. Removing the sand dunes will reveal a treasure chest containing 10 portions of Rock Salt and a stone tablet that can lead to a clue regarding the entrance with the two pedestals.

Defeat the enemies in the area and blow away the sand dunes using the Wind Cannon to reveal a treasure chest containing a Monster Stone.

12	You can also choose to dig the sand surface just west of the waypoint using the Holmill Echo and descend down the blocked treasure chest room just west of the boss entrance to acquire the 50 Rupees inside the chest. Use another Holmill Echo on the sand to exit this room. Once you head back to the Stilled Gerudo Sanctum, open the map and warp to the previous Waypoint you just unlocked.
13	After climbing down the wall on the right side, you will notice an entrance to your left leading inside the Gerudo Sanctum. Ignore the entrance for now and proceed to the right.
