The Fire Temple, also known as Lost Gorondia, is a location in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It is reached exclusively during Main Quest “Yunobo of Goron City“. The goal in this location is to open the 5 padlocks to open a locked gate. This guide shows how to do that.
Fire Temple Padlock #1
Head south on 1F (1st floor as per map). When you reach a stream of lava, jump over the floating rocks.
Grab the water hydrant with Ultrahand and hold it over the next pool of lava. The water will create solid rock platforms in the lava. Keep spraying water on it until you created enough rocks to jump over the lava pool safely.
Using Ultrahand, place one of the carts on the tracks and hit the fan. While in the cart, press 
to shoot Yunobo at the green switch sign, it changes the tracks.
In the next area the cart will stop, exit it, then go down the left side. Go down the left path to see a big rock blocking the path. Use Yunobo’s Charge attack on it. You have to stand in just the right spot, uphill on the right behind a brown rock that looks like a “ramp”. You can use this stone as a ramp so that Yunobo flies further and doesn’t land in the lava.
Now that the obstacles is destroyed you can glide over the lava and find the first lock straight ahead. It looks like a big gong. You have to use Yunobo’s Charge attack on it, then you see a short scene of the first lock opening on the main gate.
Fire Temple Padlock #2
From the first Padlock, backtrack to where you arrived by cart. Put a cart on the next tracks and drive it.
There will be enemies along the way shooting at you, use Yunobo’s attack on them. After reaching the end of the tracks, turn the cart around and use it again. Use Yunobo’s Charge to hit the green switch sign straight ahead on the tracks. This redirects you to the right side of the tracks.
In the next area, hit the green bell on the left to lower the tracks. Then use a cart on those left tracks (the right tracks only lead to a chest with 10 arrows, can skip that).
At the end of the left tracks is another lava pool. Hit the green water hydrant on the right side to activate it, then use Ultrahand to hold it over the lava to create rocks. Hold it at the other end where the lava ends. The rock will float in your direction, jump on it and use Recall ability to make it flow back to the other side (with you on it).
Then you can jump off at the other side. Defeat the enemy (can use Yunobo’s attack on him) and activate the 2nd lock.
Fire Temple Padlock #3
From the second lock, turn around and use Yunobo’s Charge on the big rocks on the right side of the lava pool. This will break it and reveals another water hydrant. It will spray water from above and creates floating rocks on the lava, jump on them to get back across the lava.
Go back to the tracks where you came from. Turn the cart around. Now use your bow to shoot at arrow at the green bell on the other side, the one you hit earlier to lower the tracks. The bell will raise the tracks back up. Use the cart to reach the next floor.
On this floor you will see a Zonai enemy in the distance. Defeat it (can use Yunobo’s Charge on it). Behind this enemy are a bunch of rockets on the wall.
Grab a Rocket with Ultrahand, put it at the FRONT of a cart (not on the back). The rocket has to be facing forward. Also put a fan in the back. Put this cart on the half-broken tracks on the right, the ones going up and southwest on the map. Climb in the cart, hit the rocket, it will boost you over the half-broken track to the 4th Floor in the southwest.
Get out of the cart, defeat the enemies. On the right you will notice a big rock. Climb up onto this rock. From the rock, climb the wall above it. See the exact starting point below.
There are a few ledges up the wall where you can take a rest to recharge your stamina. Keep climbing all the way to the top.
On the top floor is the lock. Use Yunobo’s Charge on it, he may need a few seconds to spawn upstairs so just walk around until he appears.
Fire Temple Padlock #4
From the third Padlock, drop back down to where the carts are. Hit the green bell to lower the right tracks. Now a cart with a fan on it and drive down those rails, back to the main platform where you found the rockets earlier.
From there, hit the two bells in the north until the right-side rail is facing up to the 4th floor in the north. Ride a cart on those rails, it leads directly to the 4th lock.
The lock is on a rock behind lava. There are two options to make Yunobo hit it.
Option #1:
Stand slightly left of the lock, between a green bell and end of some tracks. Aim at the sharp brown rock in the lava that looks like a ramp. Use Yunobo’s Charge and the rock will make him fly up to the lock.
Option #2:
Glide over the lava and climb up the left side to the lock (the left side is easiest to climb). When you stand left of the gong, have Yunobo do his attack. Hitting the gong from the side still activates it. If Yunobo doesn’t spawn up here, you can jump in the lava, which costs 1 life but respawns you where you jumped off and should also spawn Yunobo there. Repeat this or try moving around a little until he spawns up there. It’s a bit tricky but it works.
Fire Temple Padlock #5
From the 4th Padlock, glide down to the northwest platform on the 3rd floor. Now there are two options to reach the last padlock.
Option #1:
Climb up the tower in the northwest of the 3rd floor until you can climb no further. You can rest on the ledges to recover stamina. Shortly after starting the climb you reach rocks sticking out the wall that block you from climbing further up. Just below these rocks is a long ledge that you can stand on. This ledge goes all around the tower.
Stand on this ledge, activate Transcend and walk along this ledge to the back of the tower (northwest side of it). Be careful not to fall off, the camera can be finicky here. Walk around the ledge until the Transcend ability turns green and lets you beam through the backwall of the tower. Use Transcend at the EXACT point shown in the image below.
This beams you up and to the inside of the tower. Glide down the open hole in the middle of the tower, at the bottom (1st floor) you will find the last Padlock inside the tower. One floor above the padlock is also a chest containing a Soldier II Reaper (20 damage) that’s useful for the boss fight ahead.
After opening the last lock, hit the orange crystal to the right of the locked gate to get back outside and use the green portal next to the main gate on the 1st floor.
Option #2:
Alternatively, you can destroy the red rocks on the 3rd floor northwest platform. Use a cart to get back to the central platform on 3rd floor. Hit the two green bells to turn the tracks SIDEWAYS and facing UP.
Then use a cart on the northwest rail, it will connect to the rail you just turned, leading you up one floor. Use the next rail to reach the top of the tower. Then drop down the right side to a big red rock blocking the entrance, use Yunobo’s ability to blow up the rock, then head inside.
Inside the tower fly down the hole to the bottom floor. There you find the last gong, ring it to release the last lock, hit the orange crystal to open the door outside. Then interact with the green portal next to the main gate on 1st floor.
After all locks are opened, interact with the green portal in front of the main gate on the first floor. Enter the next room and command Yunobo to roll up the walls to hit the red rocks on the ceiling. Doing this will trigger a boss fight.
