How to Complete
1
Talk to Darston and he'll tell you about mysterious noises coming from the cave and a folktale about a fire giant.
2
Head into the cave and use the Lava Rock echo to get over the lava spouts. You'll encounter a lot of these lava spouts throughout the dungeon.
3
After getting through the first lava spout, use the wall to climb around the corner and on top of the existing lava rock. Summon another echo of a lava rock on the third lava spout to get over it.
4
Follow the path onto the next lava spout and you can use other echoes such as the Cloud to skip straight to the platform with the door. Other methods may also work such as using Bind on the neighbouring Lava Rock to place it onto the lava spout.
5
Get through the next area normally until you climb the wall to the upper level.
6
Get on top of the lava spout using a Lava Rock and use Cloud echoes as before to skip to the platform with a ladder going down.
7
Down the ladder, wait for the lava to go down before continuing ahead and climbing up to safety with a chest containing 50 Rupees.
8
After the lava goes down again, continue on and climb up two sets of ladders.
9
Right as the lava goes down, drop down the ladder and use Strandtulas to get across and up to the platform with the exit ladder.
10
Up the ladder, you'll find a door that leads to the boss fight with the Igneo Talus. Prepare yourself with the right echoes for the fight.
▶ How to Beat Igneo Talus
11
The Igneo Talus will drop a Heart Piece once you defeat it. Afterwards, a portal that leads back to the entrance will appear.
12
Head back to Darston at the entrance and tell him what happened to complete the quest. He will reward you with a Goron's bracelet.
