The Legend of Zelda: Fire Sanctuary part 2

Here is the second part of our Fire Sanctuary walkthrough.
Heart Piece

In the far northwest corner of the Fire Sanctuary (1F), you can burrow into the ground. Hit the switch to move the gate and a Mogma sharing the crawlspace with you will deactivate the switch and flee. Catching him is tricky so try to catch him at an intersection or corner and quickly run into him (remember that you can sprint while crawling!).



He'll give you a Heart Piece if you successfully catch up to him. Hit the switch to open the gate and climb out. Shoot down the Water Fruit to form a solid platform. Jump onto the platform and ride it down the lava flow to the east ledge. Go outside and burrow into the hole next to the Bird Statue after saving.

Make your way to the top of the screen and clear the three stones in the corner so you can reach the Bomb Flower you need to blast through. Return to the bottom and smack the Bomb Flower. The resulting explosion will cause the tunnel to start flooding with lava, at which point you should hurry back the way you came. Make sure to pass the Stamina Fruit as you flee. Once you're outside, you'll see that the lava has shifted and is now flowing freely. Hit the switch to open the gate, creating a shortcut.

Go down the stairs and drop the Water Fruit into the lava to create a now-drifting platform. Ride it to the central area. The Boss Door is here, along with a ledge with two statues in lava far below. This is called The Bridge of Decision.

B1
You'll have to jump into the mouth of the sleeping one (as stated by a stone at the start of the dungeon), so look to the one on the left its eyes are closed. Take a leap of faith and just when you think you'll hit lava, a platform materializes. Break your fall with the Sailcloth, then enter the statue's mouth. A Goddess Wall can be found in the area just before the door. Two Dark Lizalfos will greet you here. An easy way to defeat them is to run and jump up onto the ledge, where they can't hit you, but make sure you stay on the very edge, so they'll spit curse at you. Once they start spitting curse, hit them with an arrow. Once the Lizaflos are dead, enter the door behind you.

Another Goddess Wall can be found at the bottom of the spiral staircase. Make your way up the tower and be sure to kill the Keese before using the Clawshots on the vines. Sprint and you can jump across each gap. In the room at the top of the stairs you'll need to solve a puzzle involving statues and burrowing. There are five statues, each with a different number of wings. Take note of which statues have which number of wings. Dig your way down into the tunnel. The key is to activate the switches that sit underneath the statues in the order dictated by the statues (the one-winged statue first, then the two-winged one, etc.). You can press Z to see the statues above at any time.

Crawl towards the top of the screen to activate the first light pad. Hang a right to trigger the second one, then head down, avoiding the light pad above the Bomb Flower and roll the Bomb upwards to clear the rock, giving you access to the third pad (go around to reach it). Number four is the one next to the bomb, and number five the one at the top left section of the tunnel. After succeeding in activating the statues in the right order, a Moldorm will crawl into the tunnel and a gate will close preventing you from leaving. After you defeat it and burrow back out. Grab the Mysterious Crystals (Boss Key) from the Chest behind the now-open gate.

Head west through the door to find a switch and a shortcut back to the Boss Door. Look for some pots with a Pink Fairy nearby. Head back to The Bridge of Decision and save at the Bird Statue. Place the Mysterious Crystals in the Boss Key Slot and rotate it so it looks like a key.

Demon Lord Ghirahim: Rematch
Ghirahim will appear in the sanctum, explaining that he's learned about the second Gate of Time. He has no idea where to find it, however, so you're still safe for now. He'll fight you for refusing to surrender its location, and this battle's a bit different than the last. Ghirahim will start off in much the same way as the previous fight, tracking your movements. The best way to confuse him is to hold your sword still directly in front of you, then suddenly slash. Try not to strike the daggers he summons this time, so you want to swing right between them, then follow up your strike with a few blows.

You can use Shield Bash counter attacks to stop his projectiles after you attack him. After he takes a few hits, he'll summon twice as many daggers, meaning you have a smaller window within which to attack him. Fortunately, since your sword is stronger, this part of the battle won't take quite as long. In the second half of the battle, Ghirahim will summon not one, but two swords and renew his attack. When defending, he'll hold the swords in much the same way as a Stalfos, leaving one side open to strike. Hit him with a horizontal slash that connects with his unprotected side and then slash a few more times for extra damage.

If you fail to strike him, he'll unleash a powerful counterattack immediately and without fail. He'll also summon complicated series of daggers to send your way, such as a ring of them around you both horizontally and vertically. Spin Attacks will cut them out of the air, so look for the pattern of daggers. If they surround you, perform a horizontal Spin Attack and if they arch over your head, perform a vertical Spin Attack. Ghirahim's other dagger attacks can be Shield Bash-ed to send them flying back in his face. The best times to hit him are when he's defending and when he unleashes another new attack, in which he'll jump into the air and try to dive bomb you from above. Sprint out of the way and go in hacking at him when he lands.

Try not to get too close to him during the latter stage of the fight, since he'll be more aggressive and less defensive. It's easiest to just wait for him to try to attack from above. Keep at it, and soon enough he'll retreat. Gather your Heart Container. Leave the chamber and claim Din's Flame. It'll power up your sword to its strongest purified level, granting you the Master Sword, the blade of evil's bane. It's not quite reached its final form, but it now has the power of the three creator Goddesses! You can get a Heart Piece immediately after completing this dungeon. Just return to the front door.

Heart Piece
You need the Mogma Mitts for this Heart Piece. At the entrance to the Fire Sanctuary you can find a Gossip Stone with a dig spot in front of it (it's by one of the fire gates). Dig in the spot with your Mitts and you will find a Heart Piece.
