Fire Temple (Spirit Tracks)


 * For the dungeon in, see Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time).

The Fire Temple (also known as the Mountain Temple) is a dungeon in. The dungeon’s main item is the Bow and its boss is Cragma.

Entrance to the Temple
The Fire Temple is located at the summit of the mountain in the Fire Realm. Link has to meet with Embrose to play the Song of Fire Restoration and open the way to the dungeon. The area where the temple lies is guarded by three Snurglars, all of which hold three keys that will open the entrance to the temple once retrieved by Link.

Themes and Navigation
Many of the puzzles in the temple involve platforms that can be used to stand atop small volcanoes, and Arrow Orbs that redirect the trajectory of an arrow. In a similar way to the Cave of Flames in, the Fire Temple houses minecarts that help Link move from a point to another quickly. The dungeon item is a Bow, which is obtained after defeating the mini-boss of the dungeon, Heatoise. Cragma is the boss of the Fire Temple. After he is defeated, the connecting the Fire Realm to the Tower of Spirits are restored.

In both this temple and the following one, the background music is different from the usual dungeon theme heard in the first three temples.
