To the west of this room is a control panel that will let you rearrange the rooms of this temple. For now, move the right tile down, and the center tile to the right.

Clear the Ancient Cistern Room.

Enter the next room and notice how it resembles the Ancient Cistern. Move to the right and defeat the Deku Babas and Quadro Baba in the way.

Use the Beetle to cut the rope across the gap before attempting to swing across with your Whip.

Once on the other side, defeat the Skulltula that will drop down. Look slightly to your left and you should see rotating pillars that you should clawshot across. Shoot the Furnix down first.

Use the rope to swing to the wooden platforms. Once on it, use your Gust Bellows to generate momentum for your swing.

After you've made it across, you should be near the exit of this room. Pull down the lever for easier backtracking.

Clear the Pirate's Stronghold Room.

The next room will be reminiscent of the Pirate's Stronghold. Take the Timeshift orb and bring it over to the wired fence. Continue down the stairs and defeat the Sentrobe.

Drop the timeshift orb in a spot where it reveals the button on the other side of the barred gate, then climb the ladder.

Clear the Earth Temple Room.

Make your way back through the rooms you've been through until you enter what is now the center bottom room. This room highly resembles the Earth Temple.

Continue forward and crawl through the narrow space. At the fork turn left.

Collect Bombs at the bomb flower here, then roll a bomb through the hole to clear the path.

Crawl through and defeat the Red Chuchu. Then burrow into the hole.

Crawl forward and push the button. This will open the gate above ground.

Go through the gate you just opened and take out the Dark Lizalfos here. Toss a Bomb onto the Wall Structure on your left to reveal a Red Crystal behind it.

Stand on the round stone platform and roll a bomb down the slope. Make sure that it angles in a way that the bomb will be caught onto the wall structure at the bottom. Another Red Crystal will be revealed.

Sliding down the slope. Climb up the vines. You'll face several bamboo shoots. Use Horizontal Skyward Strikes to cut these down.

Use your Beetle to pick up a bomb flower and carry it over to the other wall structure to topple it down.

With all three Red Crystals revealed, strike them from the lowest one to the highest one. The gate will open. Head inside and burrow in the hole inside.

Clear the Inside the Great Tree Room. Obtain the Small Key.

This next room resembles the inside of the Great Tree. You'll be pit in a battle against LD-003D Dreadfuse. Similar to how you battled Scervo on the Sandship, focus on thrusting your sword forward to push him off the edge.

How to Beat Dreadfuse

Prepare to face a room full of Bokoblins and Stalfos. Take them out before going to the next room.

Now you'll have to face a Stalmaster and several Cursed Bokoblin. This will be the final set of enemies before you can enter the room with Faron's Mark.

Thrust the True Master Sword into Faron's Mark to access the room with the Triforce of Courage.

Obtain the Triforce of Power

Return to the center room and access the control panel. Move the tiles around to connect the room with the Red Triforce Symbol to the left of your current room.

Enter the room with the Red Triforce Symbol. This room resembles the Fire Sanctuary. Upon entering go left and drop a water fruit into the lava to form a stone platform you can ride.

Defeat the Fire Keese that will approach you. Then aim at the Red Crystal to your right. Activate it to get the lava flowing on the other side. Create a stone platform on that side then jump over to it.

Face in the direction the lava is flowing, and shoot the red crystal above you to clear the lava falling allowing you to pass.

Once on stable ground, pull the lever down for easier backtracking. Create another stone platform and continue along defeating the Cursed Keese along the way.

You'll have to activate the Red Crystal and create a stone platform in quick succession. Once you do jump on to the next stone platform.

Move the outside tiles clockwise until the blue Triforce room is on the top center. Continue to move the tiles till the bottom left tile is the empty one.

Make your way to the room with the Blue Triforce Symbol. This room resembles the Lanayru Desert. Grab the Timeshift Orb and bring it to the north side of the room.

With the barbed wires out of the way, climb up the ramp and shoot an arrow at the target. A gate below will open.

Grab the Orb and go through the opened gate. Continue along the path and defeat enemies along the way. When you get to the grassy section of the path put down the Orb.

Step on the pressure plate and shoot an arrow across the room to the target. This will unlock a gate on an upper platform that allows you to access a Clawshot receptacle.

Sky Keep Enemies

List of Enemies	Strategy
Beamos	Slash through each of the line with a horizontal sword attack. When only the head remains, stab it with a forward thrust. You can also Shield Bash to deflect the laser back to stun them.
Blue Bokoblin	Blue Bokoblins use the same attack pattern as Red Bokoblins, but are tougher. Invite an attack and repel it with a Shield Bash, then strike.
Chuchu	A simple sword slash defeats it. When it merges, proceed to continue slashing until every Chuchu is defeated.
Cursed Bokoblin	Knock Cursed Bokoblins down then use Fatal Blow. They will also run away if they see the Hylian Shield.
Dark Lizalfos	Uses the same attack pattern and weakness as normal Lizalfos, but far more dangerous. You can use the Bow from afar, but you can only damage it when it is unalerted from your presence.
Electro Spume	Throw a bomb or attack with a Skyward Strike.
Fire Keese	Defeat it like normal Keese. Do not use Wooden Shields when fighting it.
Furnix	Hit the ring on the tail with a whip and pull it. This will knock it down to the ground, allowing you to use Fatal Blow.
LD-003D Dreadfuse	Weak to thrusts until it falls over the end. Occasionally, it will arm its weapon to electrocute you, so be careful as you will get damaged if you fail to dodge or repel this attack.
Lizalfos	Repel the attack with a shield attack and aim and attack when you get the chance.
Metal Shield Moblin	Metal Shields are impervious to sword attacks unlike its wooden variant. Climb up the shield by dashing, then slash it down from behind.
Moldorm	Attack the weak point on its tail 3 times. If they see you, they will charge at you until you are out of their line of sight. This can be used to trick it into charging directly into a wall to stun them.
Pyrup	The quickest way to defeat it is to throw a bomb, especially when it is breathing fire. Another option is to shoot it with a bow from a distance, or stun with a slingshot and then slash.
Quadro Baba	You can slash it across its mouth the moment it opens, or hit it when it is stunned by a shield attack. You may need multiple hits before downing it. Use the Beetle to instantly defeat it.
Red Bokoblin (Archer)	Bokoblin Archers attack from a long distance, so it is effective to use the bow and arrow as well. If they attack with fire arrows, try not to guard wth a wooden shield.
Sentrobe	Repel its missile attack twice with a Shield Bash or a sword strike. Slice the flying bombs according to its orientation.
Skulltula	While it is hanging from the ceiling, cut down the thread to make it fall. Use vertical spin attack to make it fall on its back, then use Fatal Blow. You can also turn it around while it is hanging then strike the purple orb behind it.
Stalfos	Attack the side it is not protecting, or repel its attack with a Shield Bash to open a gap to its defenses. You can also use Bombs to stun it.
Stalmaster	Attack the side it is not protecting, or repel its attack with a Shield Bash to open a gap to its defenses. Stalmasters can protect all sides except its center, so use a thrust attack when it does this.
Technoblin	Use Skyward Strike to down it and use Fatal Blow. Attack it strategically to avoid being electrocuted from its weapon. If it doesn't work, you can easily defeat it by stunning it with a slingshot. Avoid using Iron Shields.
