"Don't Move" is the Trick to Mountain Climbing
Even if you’re holding on to a cliff, you won’t get tired if you don’t move. Instead of climbing heedlessly, the trick to mountain climbing is to stop from time to time and check upwards and to the left and right, searching for a spot where you can take a break.
Only in the Eldin Region can you see boiling magma with your own eyes. You can see powerful lava rivers and falls around the five lava lakes scattered about.
Lava Falls That Run

The Blacksmith of the Enemy World
In Lake Darman, where lava flows just like Goro Cove, there is one Rock Octorok. If you let this enemy suck in a rusty weapon, the rust will be completely removed, and it will be as good as new. If you're lucky, you might even get a powerful weapon.
Goron City

Treasures Buried in
the Volcano

Crush Hard Ore Deposits With One Blow
If you try mining with a weapon such as a sword or spear, the ore deposit will be difficult to break, and your weapon will be damaged quickly. What you want to use is a Drillshaft or Iron Sledgehammer made with the Goron people's technology. You can make good mining progress by crushing hard deposits with a single blow.
Special Deals With Bulk Sales

At the End of the Rail...?
A mine-cart rail laid out so that it goes halfway around Darunia Lake. At the end of that is the Isle of Rabac, which looks like a crab when viewed from above. If you glide from the highest point of the abandoned mine, you can see it in its entirety.
The Eldin Region is home to many enemies that attack with fire and heat.
Due to the harsh environment, accidents such as falling off cliffs or stepping
in lava occur frequently during battle. It is also important to
choose a battlefield where you can focus on the enemy in front of you.
An enemy with a body that burns like lava. You want to attack this formidable opponent's weak point—the ore deposit—but you will burn if you touch it. It may be wise to avoid fighting when you have no means of defending against heat.
Hitting an Igneo Talus's body with an Ice Arrow will temporarily cool it down. Take the opportunity to climb up and attack its weak point.
As its name implies, this type of Lizalfos breathes fire from its mouth. The fire has quite a long reach, so it's safer to block with a metal shield than to run away. When it's finished breathing fire and is tired and unable to move, that's your chance to counterattack. It is also weak against cold.
When you don't have a shield, one strategy is to get into close combat. If you can close the distance enough to get right up to it, the fire it breathes will not hit you.
With the secret spices of the Goron people, anyone can easily make curry.
Be resolute in the face of the heat. Why not give your body a shock from the inside by filling it with spicy curry?

A Stone-Grilled Dish Made With Geothermal Heat
Just as Protein Palace in Goron City is famous for its stone-grilled dishes, the heat of this region makes it possible to make stone-grilled dishes just by placing ingredients on the ground. By grilling meat, fish, mushrooms, fruits, and anything else you want to eat on the ground, maybe you will be able to discover new tastes?
Even Rocks Prepared Deliciously
The Goron people are known for eating rocks. It is said that they slowly cook the rare cut Rock Roast to make Deliciously Grilled Rock Roast and eat it. The way the flavour changes with cooking is quite interesting.
The Great Skeleton and
Dragon
Performance
A huge fossil believed to be ancient was discovered on the north side of Death Mountain. In addition, it is said that the spirit Dinraal descends from the heavens in the form of a dragon here. If you wait around here between midnight and dawn, you can see the mysterious performance of the fossil and dragon.
Phantom Smotherwing Butterfly
Among the creatures that inhabit the Eldin Region, the Smotherwing Butterfly is said to be especially rare. Its fluttering form resembles the embers that drift down in volcanic areas, so it is difficult to spot. If you keep an eye on the embers while you are walking, you may come across this rare butterfly.
Perhaps because the ground is hot, the Eldin Region is home to many flying creatures.
Hotfeather Pigeons and Golden Sparrows, among others, are characterised by their fire-resistant plumage.
Although the Eldin Ostrich cannot fly, its legs are well-developed, and there are cases of injuries being caused by being rammed, so be careful.
The Fireproof Lizard, which can only be seen in this region, is so famous that people even take them home as souvenirs.
They often hide under rocks and can be found especially in the Southern Mine.
In addition, there are creatures with features unique to this region, such as the Summerwing Butterfly and Sizzlefin Trout, both of which remain unbothered by heat.
Above Death Mountain Marker #2, your body will spontaneously combust. You will want to prepare some Fireproof Elixir and Fireproof Armour in order to climb the mountain comfortably.
The Temperature Cannot be Measured
The Temperature Cannot be Measured
If you prepare a Bomb Arrow while embers are floating, it will immediately explode, and that is extremely dangerous. When you want to blow something up, go with a Remote Bomb that won't explode.
A Volcano Essential - Fireproof Elixir
Fireproof Elixir, which prevents the body from burning, is sold at Foothill Stable just before the mountain trail. You will be even safer if you learn to forage ingredients in the region and make it.

Fire Extinguishing with Chuchu Jelly
You can temporarily protect yourself from heat by attacking Chuchu Jelly and getting the water on yourself. However, if you wait too long, the Chuchu Jelly will change to Red Chuchu Jelly due to the heat. This will explode when you attack it, so be careful.
