Hit the checkpoint at the entrance, then back out to the Still World as you cannot get past the gate. Go to the right and cut down the grass to reveal a ladder. Grab the treasure chest containing 50 Rupees in the 2D room and move on to the left ladder.

There are three green crystals that can be turned on with the Spark or Buzz Blob Echoes. You just have to light all three before they turn off so the doors unlock. Take the northwest door for the treasure chest containing the Dungeon Map, then hit the button and proceed left into the main room. Step on the button near the stairs to open the gate to the entrance.

The ladder leads to a room with enemies and a treasure chest with 10 Warm Peppers but leads back to the temple entrance. Take the upper west door at the entrance, avoid the blue laser enemies, and go to the south doorway back into the Still World.

Go right and bind the second statue to reveal an entrance. Use the Electric Keese Echo and target the green crystals to activate them to spawn a treasure chest with a Small Key. Return to the main room, take the southwest door, and cut the grass to reveal another doorway.

Hit the checkpoint in the middle of the room and go through the northwest ladder, lighting up torches along the way to see. Send two Boulder Echoes to sit on the eastern platform, which will raise up the western platform and hit the blue switch to unlock the gates. Grab the treasure chest for a second Small Key and go back to the entrance, and enter the locked door to fight the Manhandla miniboss.

The miniboss is a two-headed plant, so attack the heads from far away with Echoes and rush in with Swordfighter Form when the heads are stunned. You can also bind the heads to reveal pink weakpoints to then attack. The miniboss will retreat after multiple hits, so backtrack to the dark room with the checkpoint and enter the southeast locked door to get a treasure chest containing one Golden Egg.

Go south of the dark room to a new room with two buttons on the ground. One of the Armos statues will move forward towards the button, so press on the other one at the same time to unlock both doors and take the east door. Hit the checkpoint, then jump into the water to exit the temple.

In the Still World, throw an Ignizol Echo at the wall cobwebs to reveal a door. The room has two plates to step on, so summon two Armos Echoes to walk on the plates at the same time to unlock the door. Defeat the Electric Wizzrobe to move on.

Light up all the torches in the darkroom to fully illuminate the room, then take the ladder down to the 2D water room. Swim through the area to get the treasure chest containing 50 Rupees, move the Armos out of the way, and then take the middle ladder.

Light up all the torches in the dark room to fully light it up, then activate the three green crystals with Spark or Buzz Blob Echoes quickly to unlock both doors. Take the west door to a room with two rising platforms and two buttons.

Remove the rocks from each platform to keep it steady, then summon two Armos to walk over both buttons at the same time to unlock both doors. Go into the left room to get a treasure chest with a Small Key, then go north.

Hit the checkpoint, then warp back to the checkpoint two rooms to the right and take the northern ladder. Place boulders on the weighted platforms and use Water Blocks to get to the locked door and the ladder. Hit the checkpoint and go to the next room to fight the four-headed Manhandla miniboss.

Use the same strategy as before, binding each head and attacking the pink weakpoints, except there are more heads to deal with. Go from end to end so you do not feel overwhelmed. Defeating the Manhandla will reward with a treasure chest containing the Big Key.

Warp back to the boss room to fight the giant spider Gohma and complete the temple. Defeating Gohma will reward with a full Heart Container and Farore’s Sanction. Then players can move onto the other two dungeons, Eldin Temple and Lanayru Temple, or proceed to the final areas of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
