Goron Mines: Difference between revisions

This dungeon initially houses three of the four [[Goron Elder]]s. Link is told by [[Gor Amoto]], the first elder he meets in the mines, that the three elders in the mines hold the three [[Key Shard]]s,{{Ref|TP|6694|Gor Amoto}} which when combined create the key to the room into which [[Darbus]] has been locked.{{Ref|name=GA|TP|6693|Gor Amoto}} After collecting the first shard from Gor Amoto, Link proceeds to travel through the dungeon looking for the final two elders. After he finds the second elder, [[Gor Ebizo]], Link is told by Gor Ebizo that there is a weapon that was left in the mine by the hero of old,{{Ref|TP|6703|Gor Ebizo}} referred to as the ''Hero's Weapon''. After defeating the guardian of the treasure, [[Dangoro]],{{Ref|''Dangoro Twilight Princess Trading Card''|In the Goron Mines, Link meets Dangoro, a heavily-armored Goron guarding the Hero's Bow.|Card description}} Link wins the right to use the [[Hero's Bow]], which is used to find the final Goron Elder, [[Gor Liggs]]. After finding the final elder and combining the shards, Link can open the door to the room where Darbus supposedly lies.{{Ref|name=GA}} He finds not Darbus, but the dungeon [[Boss]], [[Fyrus]]. After Link uses a combination of the Hero's Bow, [[Iron Boots]], and [[Ordon Sword]] to defeat Fyrus, he is rewarded with the second piece of the Fused Shadow.

The boss of the Goron Mines is known as the Twilit Igniter: Fyrus. Link has been told by the four Goron Elders that Darbus, the Goron Patriarch,{{Ref|''Darbus Twilight Princess Trading Card''|Darbus is the patriarch of the Goron tribe on Death Mountain.|Card description}} lies in a room in the depth of the dungeon. Upon entrance to this room, Link is obviously expecting to find a Goron, but instead he sees a giant figure with a pitch black body that goes by the name of Fyrus. This battle takes place in a circular room with pillars all around that extend to the ceiling. Fyrus is held back by chains on his arms and legs, but soon shows Link that they are no match for him. He frees himself from the shackles with apparent ease. The battle requires good use of the Hero's Bow and of the Iron Boots. After Link uses the first [[Hidden Skills|Hidden Skill]], the [[Hidden Skills#Ending Blow|Ending Blow]], on Fyrus, Fyrus is defeated. All of Fyrus' black skin explodes off of him and forms the second piece of the Fused Shadow, which gracefully falls into Link's hands. Now that the Fused Shadow has left Fyrus, he becomes Darbus, a giant Goron that has a huge head and ginormous shoulders. Darbus is completely dumbfounded of his surroundings, having no idea where he is or how he got there.{{Ref|TP|6685|[[Darbus]]}}{{Ref|TP|6687|Darbus}} He is unaware that it was Link who had saved him, and doesn't even seem to notice Link grab the [[Heart Container]] and leave. Darbus is later seen in [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]], specifically in the [[Sanctuary (Twilight Princess)|Sanctuary]].

As with every other dungeon in ''Twilight Princess'', Link can find two Pieces of Heart in the Goron Mines. Both Pieces of Heart require the Iron Boots to collect. These are the seventh and eighth Pieces of Heart collected. The first one is in a room with many [[Dodongo]]s. Keep following the trail of Torch Slugs while hanging from the ceiling to the northwest alcove, where Link can drop down and obtain the piece. The second Piece of Heart is in a room with diamond switches. While climbing up the magnetic wall, turn to the DIRECTION instead of DIRECTION, and Link will find a platform with a single chest, which contains the Piece of Heart.
