I'm now ready to enter the Earth Temple, but it is locked, and the key is in 5 pieces.
I've already found 3 Pieces of Key, but I'm still missing 2.
I've tried dowsing for them, but I can't seem to find them.
Find the 5 Pieces of Key, required to enter the Earth Temple

Best Answer
The First piece is located just to the left of the entrance to the Earth Temple. It's buried in a soft spot of soil, so you'll need to use the Digging Mitts to dig it up.
The Second Piece is located under the wooden watch tower down a path at the left of the temple. It's at the bottom of a hill of sand. You'll need to roll a bomb flower under it in order to have it fall over, so you can access the soft soil containing the piece below.
The Third Piece is located behind a boulder, about halfway up the giant sand hill in front of the temple (if my memory serves me correctly, it's how you got up to the earth temple to begin with). You'll need to roll a bomb flower in front of the boulder so it will destroy it, revealing a spot of soft soil containing the piece.
The Fourth Piece is a bit trickier to get to. You need to take the path to the right of the temple, and follow it along until you reach an area where it's too hot to stay long. Fi will give you a warning when you reach it, saying you can only stay here for a short while before dying. There are two ways out of this area, and you need to run for the correct one. Use your dowsing ability to find it. once you come out, you will be at the top of another giant hill.
Take the right path down this hill, and you'll eventually come across a ledge on the left wall of this path. You need to get up there, and then use the air geyser there to get across to the other side of the ledge, which will contain a soft spoil spot with the key piece.
For the Final Piece just proceed down the hill. Jump over the first platform, near the right, and then take another right. There will be a small cave containing a pool of lava, a boulder, a bomb flower and a sand hill. The key piece is located behind the boulder.
In order to break the boulder, you need to use a bomb flower rock, just outside the entrance to the cave, near the left. It will have lava leaking from it. Once you blow this up, the lava level will lower and you'll be able to roll a bomb flower over to the boulder so that it will be destroyed, opening the path to the bomb flower.
