Walkthrough:Lightning Temple (Tears of the Kingdom)

The Lightning Temple Walkthrough is a full guide to completing the Lightning Temple in Tears of the Kingdom. It includes a guide for the dungeon, including activating all four, and defeating the dungeon boss, Queen Gibdo. The four can be done in any order.

Entrance

• In the first room of the temple, drop a Fan on the ground. Use it to clear the sand that is in the room. In particular, clear the sand in the center of the room and then step on the switch that appears to open the nearby door.
• Pickup a nearby Torch and light it to make it easier to see. Climb down the steps and walk ahead a series of rooms.
• Turn to the right and be careful of the false floor that will drop when Link steps on it. Defeat the Gibdos here by using the flames and the torch. Up ahead, Link will find some horizontal flames. Wait for them to settle and then run through. On the other side of the flames, step on the floor switch to allow Riju to catch back up.
• In the next area there are massive boulders that are flowing down, preventing Link from making it by. Use Recall to cause the boulder to move backward. It's best to use Recall when the boulder is off in the distance. You can use recall multiple times. Once you get by, step on the switch and head through the opening.
• Walk down the hallway and defeat the series of Gibdos. In the next room, Link can drop down and use Ultrahand to pull the cover to find a Gerudo Bow. In this room, defeat the Gibdo, and then use a lightning attack to destroy the Gibdo Hive to prevent more from spawning.
• Continue onward to enter the Room of Hopeful Light.
