After completing the trial, the | Later, Link returns to Eldin Volcano to complete [[Din (Goddess)|Din]]'s [[Silent Realm]] Trial. After completing the trial, Link acquires the [[Fireshield Earrings]], which he uses to withstand the extreme heat near the peak of the mountain and safely travel to the [[Volcano Summit]]. Link ventures through the scorching cave and finds [[Gorko]] near the entrance to the [[Fire Sanctuary (Skyward Sword)|Fire Sanctuary]]. He explains that pillars of flames are blocking the path leading to the entrance and that using an [[Empty Bottle]] to pour [[Bottled Water|Water]] on the tongue of a nearby frog statue may open the way. Link pours water on the tongues of two frog statues to put out the flames obscuring their path and reach the Fire Sanctuary. However, there is a larger frog statue at the entrance that requires much more water than the other statues. Link returns to [[Lake Floria]] to ask [[Faron (Dragon)|Faron]] the Water Dragon permission to use the [[Water Basin]] she was recuperating in to extinguish the pillar of flames blocking the entrance to the sanctuary. After Faron grants Link her permission to use the basin, Fi summons the [[Ancient Robot]] [[Scrapper]] and requests him to carry the basin to the Volcano Summit. Link has to protect Scrapper from any enemies (mainly Bokoblins and Moblins) on the way up to the summit. Once they reach the Sanctuary, Scrapper dumps the Water Basin on the large frog statue, and the entrance to the dungeon opens. | ||

Due to this, Link has to infiltrate through the camp and retrieve one by one several of his items. A fellow Mogma gives him the [[Mogma Mitts]] when he is imprisoned, which helps him to escape.<ref>{{Cite|You got your Mogma Mitts back!

It is an area so hot that entering its summit without the protection of the Fireshield Earrings will result in Link taking damage. Prominent throughout the mountainous area are ancient ruins resembling the architecture of the Earth Temple and the Fire Sanctuary located nearby. [[Bomb Flowers]] are an essential key item to exploration of the volcano and can be found blooming throughout the area, helping to destroy pathways and caves blocked by large rocks.<ref>{{Cite|Bomb flowers. You're joking, right?? Those are them growing right over there.You pick one with, and the fuse lights. A few seconds later...BOOM! You don't wanna stop and sniff this flower. Dangerous plants, believe me. But once you learn to use them, they're a powerful weapon. Us Mogmas are crazy about 'em! You can toss and roll them the same way you do jars. See what you can do with those bomb flowers over there.|Mogma|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|You're looking pretty chipper, pal. You come back to do some treasure hunting? You may already know this, but Eldin Volcano is riddled with hidden caves. You can find 'em by checking around for thin, cracked walls. You can find all kinds of things in these caves. It's mostly Rupees, sure, but ya never know. If you get the itch for loot, you should try some cave hunting.|Mogma|SS}}</ref> | ||
The treasure-hunting [[Mogma]] race can be found scattered about the volcano, giving information on the volcano's hidden treasures, which include green, blue and red [[Rupee]]s, the rarer silver and gold Rupees, as well as frequent [[Amber Relic]]s and [[Eldin Ore]].<ref>{{Cite|Us Mogmas have claimed this territory to search around for riches. We're what you'd call treasure hunters. There are loads of these red, blue, and green stones called Rupees around here. Sometimes you can even find silver and gold ones too. And while they ain't technically treasure, you can also find these tough mineral chunks. I bet you could use'em to make stuff. Since you're here and all, you might as well look around, right?|Mogma|SS}}</ref> The [[Mogma Mitts]] are also gained here after helping a Mogma clear out a group of red [[Bokoblin]]s while exploring the volcano, which can be used to dig up mounds of dirt where Eldin Ore and Rupees can be commonly found.<ref>{{Cite|Whoa... You took out every last one of 'em...|Mogma|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|You're one tough customer! Thanks for all your help! I don't blame you for not knowing this, but us Mogmas always honor our debts.
