Pull the core out of the flames with the Hookshot and strike it before it re-enters the fire.

Flying bat that sets Link's wooden Deku Shield on fire if it strikes him.

Tube-shaped monster that can suck Link in and steal his Goron Tunic or Hylian Shield.

Tips

Wear the Goron Tunic throughout the dungeon to prevent the heat timer from appearing in high-temperature rooms.
Striking rusty floor switches with the Megaton Hammer activates doors and opens locked Goron cells.
When Volvagia flies into the air to breathe fire or drop ceiling rocks, Link can hang off the ledge of the arena platforms to avoid taking damage.
