Go to Death Mountain West Tunnel

The Death Mountain West Tunnel can be found at the foot west of Death Mountain at coordinates (2239, 2684, 0522). You can fast travel to the Sitsum Shrine, glide down from there.

How to Get the Flamebreaker Set

Talk to Moka

Upon entering the tunnel, you'll notice that the railing is broken. You can see Moka on the other side. Simply glide down to reach and talk to him.

You need to free him, helping him go outside to finish this quest.

Destroy the Stone Rubble

The Stone Rubble can be seen behind Moka, that blocks a path towards some Rockets you'll be needing later.

Don't use Bomb Flowers since they'll explode the moment they're exposed to the extreme heat in Eldin.

Attach Rockets to the Minecart

Use your Ultrahand to attach the rockets to the minecart. Attaching two rockets on each side is ideally the best approach to this.

Tell Moka to Ride the Minecart

Speak with Moka and tell him to ride the minecart. This will let him hop on the minecart you've set up.

Activate the Minecart

Once Moka hops in, hit the minecart to activate it, and you'll see Moka blast off to the other side. Follow him outside by climbing on the right side since there is a path there in which Link can pass through.

Go Outside the Cave

Once you head out, a cutscene will appear, and Moka will give you a Large Zonai Charge as thanks for freeing him!
