Spirit Temple

The Spirit Temple is a dungeon located within the Sand God Passage, which is located within the Reach Secret Grotto. It is only accessible after you play the Song of Time (having the Ocarina of Time in your inventory). The Spirit Temple contains some books explaining what happened with the Gerudo and the Spirit Temple itself.
== Walkthrough ==
=== Entry ===
After entering the Spirit Temple through the Sand God Passage, you will encounter a Fire Keese standing above the stairs. Defeat it, and travel further through the hallway to arrive in the first room filled with Gerudo Vampires, a Lizalfos Brute and some Fire Keeses.
=== Construction Room ===
When you enter the first room of the Temple, you may be noticed by the enemies and they will charge at you. Fight your way past the enemies and you will notice a large door that will lead to the second door, but it cannot be opened because it requires a small key for the Spirit Temple. Down at the bottom area of the floor, you will notice Sand Crabs and Karat Crabs walking around in the sand, and you can defeat them for ingredient loot. On the upper level where the door is located, there is a pillar that has a platform leading around the pillar. As soon as you exit the wooden bridge, follow the route to find a platform with a large broken stone bridge that has two Fire Keese and a Gerudo Vampire. Play the Song of Time and you will be able to summon the Blocks of Time, creating a new bridge and making it accessible for you to get to the enemies and defeat them. On the same platform, you will see a large chest, and it will contain the first Spirit Temple Key. Go back to the closed door and open the door and you will encounter another large hallway containing an Iron Knuckle. Defeat him and continue upstairs through the hallway until you arrive to the second room.
=== Desert Room ===
As soon as you enter the second room, you will encounter more Fire Keeses and Gerudo Vampires on the upper area of the room. Defeat them and you will notice to the right corner of the area there is a vanilla forge, where you can create some equipment if you so desire. Take a left and walk down the stairs, but you will need to defend yourself from Gibdo Knights that will burst from the sand and attack you. Upon defeating them, there is a first chest hiding behind rubble of a destroyed stone bridge, containing some Bomb Flowers and vanilla weapons. Continue traveling to the side of the room and you will find another chest, and you will be able to find another chest, but next to the chest containing more items, while another item is sitting on the sand is the small key of the Spirit Temple. Return to the platform after taking the key and you will find a first closed door, and open it to reveal the library.
=== Library ===
In the destroyed library, you will see a lot of Ruined Books and Burned Books within the area, and you will need to defeat the Gerudo Vampire before you can explore the library itself. Once the vampire is defeated, there are five Gerudo Notes scattered across the library alone. The first Gerudo Note is found in the room filled with mostly empty bookshelves, on the middle shelf of the first bookshelf on the right, next to the coffin on the first floor. On the left side of the room on the first floor, the second Gerudo Note is found in the room filled with mostly empty bookshelves, on the table with next to the Arcane Enchanter, at the far left corner of the first floor. Travel to the right side of the room to find the third Gerudo Note, which is found in the room filled with mostly empty bookshelves, on the table, next to the Alchemy Lab in the far right of the first floor. Head upstairs to the second level of the library and you will find the fourth Gerudo Note is found in the room filled with mostly empty bookshelves, on a bookshelf down the end of the left row of bookshelves. Then you can travel to a table near the left side and find the fifth Gerudo Note, which is found in the room filled with mostly empty bookshelves, where the vampire was seated, along with the Gerudo Poem book, a quill and an inkwell.
=== Boss Room ===
Exit the library and continue traveling across the platform until you find the last closed door. Unlock the final room of the Spirit Temple, and you will find a Yiga Blademaster standing above the corpse of a Gerudo Vampire and in front of a Hero's Chest, but he will attack you as soon as you enter the room. Upon defeating him, he will have a large material of items, a Clan Letter 3, Ivory Ring, Yiga Armor set (Yiga Armor, Yiga Gauntlets, Yiga Boots and Yiga Mask), the Windcleaver, and a book called Zelda's Wrath. If you loot the Gerudo Vampire's body, you will find the Ring of Spirits and the Ikana armor set with some vanilla vampire armor.
The Hero's Chest contains the Hero's Glass Armor, some Rupees, and the Sand of Hours. At the end of the room, you will see an Oblivion rune glowing on the ground. Activate the symbol and you will be transported to the entrance of the Spirit Temple, thus completing the dungeon.
== Background and Inspiration ==
The Yiga Blademaster within the boss room can be a suggestion that the Yiga Clan must have infiltrated the Spirit Temple and left behind the swordsman to guard the area until the Dragonborn arrives.
