Goron Temple
The Goron Temple is a Dungeon in Phantom Hourglass.[1]
Entrance to the Temple
The Temple is located in the northwest section of Goron Island and is where the Goron treasure, the Pure Metal Crimsonine, is enshrined. Link cannot access the Temple until he becomes an official member of the Goron tribe by completing a quiz made by the island's chief, Biggoron. The chief's son Gongoron refuses to accept Link as one of their kind, and leads the young hero on a chase around the island, through the North Maze, and into the Goron Temple, where Gongoron accidentally becomes trapped.

The Temple has a rocky theme with bodies of Quicksand, into which Link will instantly sink and take damage as a result, as well as traps such as Floor Spikes and Beamos. As the young hero explores the Temple, he finds Gongoron trapped in the east side of floor B1. The chief's son asks Link for help and explains how to switch control between the two of them by tapping an icon on the lower screen.[2][3] This begins a puzzle where the two characters unlock pathways for one another by defeating Enemies and pressing Floor Switches. At some point, they stand on two Floor Switches at the same time, producing a Treasure Chest containing a Bombchu and the Bombchu Bag. Link can then collect more Bombchus by defeating Enemies, breaking Pots or Rocks, or striking Item Flowers. Bombchus become useful for solving further puzzles, as they can travel over Quicksand and through small openings. Eventually, Link and Gongoron reach the Boss room, where the two are separated by a river of Quicksand but work together to defeat the monster Dongorongo. Gongoron reunites with Link in the room ahead and presents him with the Crimsonine, one of the three Pure Metals needed to forge the Phantom Sword.[4]
It is optional whether this Temple is completed before or after completion of the Temple of Ice and/or Mutoh's Temple.
