The Wind Temple boasts cold, chilly winds which can hamper your progress as you run around the dungeon. It is advised to stock up on a lot of meals or elixirs which give you Cold Resistance.
You can also purchase the Snowquill Armor Set at Rito Village to ensure that you have Cold Resistance all the time!
Progress through the Tulin of Rito Village Quest
The only way to get to the sky islands above Rito Village and the Wind Temple is through the help of Tulin's ability. This can only be unlocked once you progress far enough in the Tulin of Rito VIllage main quest.

How to Get to the Wind Temple
| 1 |
 You can get to the Sky Island through the floating ruins (and debris) in Hebra Peak. Go there and get up using the ruins, your abilities, and help from Tulin. You can unlock the Mayaumekis Shrine in the first part of the climb. It can serve as a reset point going up, so do your best to get there! |
|---|---|
| 2 |
 You will eventually reach the area where the ships are floating around, near Kahataum Shrine. Jump onto the sail to boost yourself in the air and see the opening of the clouds at the top. |
| 3 | Glide down to the hole in the cloud to reach the Wind Temple! |
Wind Temple Map
The Wind Temple is pretty straightforward considering it only has three levels. Players will have to jumpstart five gear locks using Tulin's ability.
1F
B1
B2
Activating the Five Gear Locks
Once you land at the deck of the ship, interact with the Zonai terminal in the middle of the deck. This will activate a teleport waypoint which allows you to return to that same spot which can be handy if you lose your way. Keep in mind that the Gear Locks can be activated in any order.
| Wind Temple Gear Locks | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1F North Lock | B1 East Lock | B2 Gear Lock | 1F South Lock | B1 North Lock |
1F North Lock
At 1F, walk towards the northern half of the ship until you see two rooms with metal gates facing each other.
You can also use any long object. Attach it to the broken lever with Ultrahand and pull it. This will raise the metal gate. Head inside the room to find the first lock.
B1 East Lock
Once you are on the east side of B1, you will encounter a big spinning device at the corridor. To get past it, use Recall to reverse its direction and ride it to reach the other side.
Once you are on the other end of the corridor, use Ultrahand to connect the gears on the wall using the icicles you can find nearby. This will open the metal gate.
B2 Gear Lock
From the second lock at B1, use the lever to open the metal gate on your left. Jump down from it and use your paraglider to reach B2, which is the ship's lowest section.
1F South Lock
Use Ascend on the room with the collapsed roof on the lower left side of B1 to reach the second level of the room
Use Ultrahand to attach four stone tablets on the pole. You can find the tablets near the area. The end product should look like a propeller.
B1 North Lock
Glide your way to the top of the tall structure north of the ship where you will spot a metal hatch. Use Ultrahand to open it.
Jump down to reach the bottom part of the structure. Avoid hitting the lasers as this will prevent you from reaching the fifth lock. You can easily navigate through this fall by sticking to the upper section.
Note that if you do hit the lasers, simply bring out your glider and fly upwards to reset the puzzle.

Use Ascend on the collapsed room in the lower left part of B1. The chest will be buried under rubble which players can take off using Ultrahand.
For getting the chest, players are rewarded with a Captain I Reaper.
Soldier Blade - B1
Dive down the same structure where the fifth gear lock is located at. The chest will be in front of the gear. Be sure to avoid the lasers when diving down.
Opening the chest will reward players with a Soldier Blade.
Construct Bow
From the entrance platform, jump and glide east to a floating stone platform. Use Tulin's Sage power to extend your glide if necessary.
A Construct Bow can be found in the chest, though this will be updated to the Strong Construct Bow or Mighty Construct Bow depending on when in the game you open it.
Large Zonaite
From the entrance platform, use your paraglider to fly west to a floating stone platform. Use Tulin's Sage power to extend your glide if necessary.
Pick up some Large Zonaite from the chest.
How to Beat the Wind Temple Boss (Colgera)
| Colgera Strategies |
|---|
 Maneuver in the air using the ParagliderUse the Power of Wind to avoid Colgera's ice attacksEvade the tornado and pincer attacksRecover stamina by standing on floating or drinking Energizing Elixirs |
How to Beat Colgera (Wind Temple Boss)
Phase 1
Colgera has three weak spots total, which are the rounded parts of its body. Each weak spot is protected by a shell of spikes but is exposed on its underbelly side. Either pass through the holes when the boss exposes it or hit it with arrows to deal massive damage.
Phase 2
Phase 2 is pretty much similar to the first phase of Colgers except that it adds two more attacks; namely its tornadoes, and its upwards pincer attack. Both can be avoided pretty easily by using the Tulin's power.
Hit the three weakspots again to finally defeat Colgera.
