Appearance and Features

Eldin Volcano is the second location on the Surface that Link visits on his quest to find Zelda during the events of Skyward Sword. Eldin Volcano is an active Volcano, overrun by dangerous magma flows, and is inhabited by the Mogma. The Mogma spend their time here tunneling in search of the volcano's treasure and Rupees. Recently, however, Bokoblins have begun to appear all over Eldin Volcano, setting up camps and scaring off the Mogmas from the area. According to Fi, 65% of the volcano is covered by lava, and a large number of creatures manage to thrive in the extreme heat. Eldin Volcano contains many steep hills that Link must climb while dodging boulders thown by the Bokoblins, caves, and an underground section, besides a small number of scattered Mogma and Bokoblin villages.

Later, Link ventures back to the Eldin Volcano to complete Din's Silent Realm Trial. After completeing the trial, the way to the Volcano Summit is unlocked. Link finds Gorko there who explains that pillars of flames are blocking the path to the Fire Sanctuary and that using an Empty Bottle to deliver Water to the tongue of a nearby frog statue may open the way. However one frog statue requires much more water than the other statues. So Link goes to Lake Floria to Faron the Water Dragon to recieve the Water Dragon's Basin to extinguish the pillar of flames blocking the entrance to the sanctuary. Link has to protect the Ancient Robot, Scrapper, who is carrying the Basin, from any enemies along the way. These mostly consist of Bokoblins and Moblins. Once reaching the Sanctuary the entrance to the dungeon opens.

Link visits the volcano for the third time to locate and learn a part of the Song of the Hero from Eldin, the Fire Dragon, but the Volcano erupts and Link is captured by Bokoblins who have taken advantage of the eruption and annex the entire volcano, jailing him, and stealing his weapons and all his items. After meeting the Fire Dragon and learning the Song of the Hero the volcano finally calms down, and the Bokoblins dissapear from the area.

Bombs and Bomb Flowers are key to exploring this area, and are used to open up passages to other areas and to find treasure. Link gains the Mogma Mitts here while venturing throughout the volcano, which can be used to dig up dig holes where Link can dig up Eldin Ore and rupees.

There are two dungeons located in the Eldin Volcano region. One is the second dungeon, the Earth Temple, located at the near top of the Volcano. Another is the sixth dungeon, tbe Fire Sanctuary, which is located in the summit of the volcano.

Enemies in Eldin Volcano include Red Bokoblins, Pyrups and Armored Pyrups, Fire Keese, Magma Spumes, Moblins, Bokoblin Archers, and Lizalfos. Enemies that are exclusive to the Earth Temple and Fire Sanctuary are Magmanos, Dark Lizalfos, Cursed Spume, and Cursed Keese.

There is also one minigame, called Thrill Digger, that involves the use of the Mogma Mitts and is run by a Mogma named Tubert. It involves digging up holes for rupees, but if Link digs up a bomb he loses.
