Temple of Goron

1st Floor

Avoid the quicksand here and head to the east. The blue jellies will stay sparking until you hit them with a boomerang, so whack them with that, then finish them off with your sword. Eventually you'll find a switch that drops the nearby spikes. You'll have to drag the nearby statue on top of it in order to cause the spikes to permanently drop.

Eventually you'll reach a locked door and another large statue. The statue here is actually alive, however; you'll have to chuck a bomb at it to shut it down and enable you to push it around. Push it to the north so that it rests atop the switch that opens the door, then head up the steps and repeat the process on the next statue you see to extend a bridge to the west.

After digging out an airjet and moving up to the upper platform here, grab a bomb and throw it against the wall to the north of the bridge. You probably noticed a crystal ball here when you were pushing around the first statue; if you can hit it with a bomb, a chest will appear. Nab the Treasure Map from it.

With that done, head across the bridge to the west and use bombs on the two statues here to unlock the door to the south. Head through it, then equip your bow and arrow and fire it to the east. There's an eye target there; hitting it will let you spawn another treasure chest with 20 rupees inside.

Into The Cave

Flip the switch here to clear your way back to the temple entrance, should you need to return later. To the west, though, you'll find a cracked wall. Blow it and head inside to refill your supply of bombs. Hmm, looks like there's another entrance to the east…head back out to the main room here and blow another bomb through the other pillars nearby to find it. If you head through there, you'll find a passage down to the B1 floor.

B1 Floor

You have to defeat the two flaming skulls here to move on. Use your boomerang to lighten them up, then finish them off with the sword. Doing so will clear your passage to the east, where you'll find Gongoron. Before you can free him, though, you'll need to kill a Cyclops. He's not difficult; just shoot him straight on with an arrow, then whack him with your sword a few times.

After the Cyclops is dead, you'll be able to switch control between yourself and Gongoron whenever you feel like it. You'll need to switch to him now, for instance.

Gongoron: Move to the south here and start smashing the rocks. Some of the enemies here will be the rock-based jellies you've seen before. Use targeted attacks to jump onto them and kill them. When everything's dead, the spikes below Link will drop.

Link: Restock your arrow supplies from the garden here, then head south to reach more wind creatures. Kill them with your arrows to drop the spikes near Gongoron.

Gongoron: Jump across the gap to the west and stand on the pressure plate there.

Link: Stand on the pressure plate as well to reveal a chest with the Bombchus inside of it. This new piece of equipment lets you place a remote-controlled bomb on the ground and draw a line for it with your stylus to tell it where to go. It'll come in handy pretty soon!

Gongoron: Switch to Gongoron and head to the southeastern corner of the map. Kill all the enemies there by rolling over them; that'll open a door to the west.

Link: Head to the west and through the open door. Killing all of the enemies here will reveal a chest with a piece of Goron Amber inside. Grab it. With that done, put a Bombchu through the hole in the wall here and trace a path for it so that it'll hit the crystal ball inside. That'll open the spikes here, letting you head back up to the 1st floor, if you wish (where you can open a new passage back to the entrance), or head down to B2.

B2 Floor

Note that you can use Bombchus to attack enemies off the screen, before they can even see you. They're pretty handy in that sense.

Kill the enemies here and destroy the rocks; eventually you'll be left with two switches. You need to stand by the one that you can hit and send a bombchu from there to reach the other one. While the bombchu is moving, move your stylus on the screen to revert the camera back to Link. When the bombchu is about to hit the eastern switch, stab the western switch at the same time to drop the spikes nearby and let you move down.
