| Chapter 5 - Right Side Up? |
|
This section of the walkthrough covers some of the remaining side quests as well
as Ikana Valley through the Stone Tower Temple.
|
|
|
5.1 Grave Robbing
Items: Empty Bottle #5
Masks: Captain's Hat
Songs: Song of Storms
Heart Pieces: #43
|
~ Termina Field ~
- Our next area is Ikana. There's a few things we have to do before we can
get all the way there though. Go through the east exit into a rocky
area.
~ Ikana Valley ~
- Run along the path with Epona and jump over the fences. The Real
Bombchus can't hurt you while you're riding her, so don't worry about
it.
- After you come to a wall, turn left. Get off of Epona and climb up the
small ledges here to enter another area.
~ Ikana Graveyard ~
- This is a very lonely place, and ironically, the grave keeper is
terrified of undead and ghosts.
- Run up to Dampe's house and you'll notice a giant Stalchild in the wall
on the right. The inscription tells you that whomever can wake it up
will face it in battle.
- Play the Sonata of Awakening (in any form) to start this battle.
|
Mini-Boss: Skull Keeta |
Tatl:
"Hurry! Chase him until you get
your chance at him! But if you
get too close, you might regret
it!"
|
|
Received: |
Attacks:
- Smacks you with his huge arms.
- Jumps up in the air and tries to land on you (run away from the shadow to avoid it).
|
|
- You'll find this guy in front of Dampe's House in the Ikana Graveyard.
Play the Sonata of Awakening to start the battle. He will run up the hill,
during which time Stalchildren will appear out of ground every few paces. Shoot
him with arrows to slow him down, then slash him with your sword to confront
him.
- This battle is quite easy. After you've caught up with him, just get
close and smack him with your sword. You can defend against his slapping with
your shield, but if you're too close, he'll swing over it. When he disappears,
run away from the shadow, then turn around and lay a hit on him.
- Part of what makes this guy so easy is that you can use your Bow,
Hookshot or Bombs to easily stun him. Have some fun with it, use the Deku Mask
for a challenge. =)
|
Summery:
- Really easy. He smacks at you and tries to pull a Bowser on you (jumps
up and lands on you). Avoid these. Stun him with Arrows or Hookshot. Run in for
the kill.
|
|
|
- After he's defeated, you'll witness a short clip in which the Skull
Keeta surrenders his position to you! After a salute from our hero, the
skeleton man will disappear along with the flames guarding the goodies
in the chest.
- Hookshot the chest, or use the Bunny Hood to jump across. Open it.
New Mask: Captain's Hat
- Wear this and speak with Stalchildren to learn stuff and even order them
around!
|
|
- Go speak with Dampe while wearing it to witness something humorous.
Anyway, play the Song of Double Time or wait until it's the First Night.
- Put on the Captain's Hat and find the grave with the there Stalchildren
(skeletons) patrolling around it. Speak with one of them and order them
to open the grave. Jump in.
- You'll find yourself in a cave-like underground scene. Jump across the
ledge and go through the doorway.
- This room has lots of Keese in it. I suggest using the Deku Mask to
dispose of them. After they're dead, use a Deku Stick or Fire Arrows to
light the two torches near the entrance and the one near the door, which
will cause it to open. Go through.
- In the next room, run forward and smack the statue to wake it up.
|
Mini-Boss: Iron Knuckle |
Tatl:
"You know about the Iron
Knuckle, right? Stay away from
its ax attack, then look for a
chance to retaliate."
|
|
Received: |
Attacks:
- Swings its axe at you, OUCH!
|
|
- These enemies are fairly simple, but they hurt a lot! Get close to them,
then back up or do a back flip to avoid the attack. As they're still recovering
from their swing, you can go in for a quick jab.
- Most other attacks won't work against them, except for Bombs. You can
use those for the first half of the battle, but they are hard to use when he
moves faster.
- After a few hits, a layer of armor will fall off and they will be able to
move much faster. Use the same patterns to defeat them shortly after.
|
Summery:
- This guy hurts... Get close, then back flip to avoid the p-a-i-n. Run in and
smack him with your sword, then get back again. Repeat. Half way through, he
loses his armor and moves faster. Keep it up and he dies.
|
|
|
- After he's been defeated, the curtain on the platform ahead will reveal
a grave. One of the composer brothers, Flat, will then appear and thank
you for releasing his soul. It turns out, his brother Sharp turned evil
and sealed him in here.
- Climb up there and read the tombstone to learn a spiffy new song.
New Song: Song of Storms
- Play this song to blow away curses, like when the Bubbles Jinx you
(can't use your sword).
- You can also use it to water Magic Beans to make them grow without using
Spring Water.
|
|
- This song was in the last game as well, and Guru Guru plays it on his
music box. Anyway, get out of this grave.
- That's all you really need here, but if you'd like a Heart Piece and
another bottle, stick around. Play the Song of Double Time until it's
the Second Night, then order the Stalchildren to open the next grave.
- Inside, jump across to the next area and use the Lens of Truth to see
through the fake wall. Go through the door.
- In the next room, follow the path and use your Lens to kill the Keese
and Skulltulas as you make your way across the gap. At the end, turn
left and use a Bomb on the fake wall. Go through the door.
- In this room, there is another Iron Knuckle. After he's defeated, he
will leave behind a chest. Open it to find [HEART PIECE #43]!
- Back outside, play the Song of Double Time again until it's the Third
Night. Open the last grave and enter.
- Inside, you should run forward and kill
the Wallmaster before doing anything else.
This next part requires you to move
slowly, so it can easily snatch you up and
take you away.
- Up ahead, you'll find Dampe wanderpile around
because he can't see in the dark. Z target him and guide him to the dirt
piles around the room to dig them up.
- You're trying to find three blue flames that are randomly in three of
the piles.
- Four of these piles are on the ground, but pile two are high up. To get
to them, lead Dampe to those brown tiles, then makes sure you're not on
them yourself.
- The left one will take him to the small platform with the ladder on the
left side of the room. The right one takes him to the platform with the
blocks leading up to it.
- After all three flames are lit, a Big Poe will appear. Kill it to make a
chest appear as well.
New Item: Empty Bottle #5
- Set it to (C) and use it to swipe and hold stuff to be used later.
|
|
- Use a bottle on the Big Poe's spirit before it disappears to sell at the
Curiosity Shop in West Clock Town for 200 Rupees later. Head upstairs
and exit through Dampe's house.
- Not much else to do but put your Rupees in the Bank, (sell the Big Poe,)
and play the Song of Time. |
|
5.2 Item Collection #4
Masks: Mask of Truth
Upgrades: Biggest Bomb Bag, Largest Quiver, Giant's Wallet
Heart Pieces: #8, #18, #20, #22, #31, #32, #34
|
- This section covers the Skulltula quests as well as some other
Heart Pieces I've avoided thus far. A lot of these we could have gotten
a little earlier, but now is a good time to get them all at once.
~ Clock Town ~
- Go to the Treasure Chest Shop in East Clock Town.
|
Mini-Game: Treasure Chest Shop |
Required:
- Bunny Hood or Goron's Mask (helps)
|
|
Prize:
- Heart Piece #8
- 20 or 50 Rupees
|
|
|
Rules:
- Find your way through the maze, open the chest.
|
|
|
- At the start of the game, a chest will appear on the opposite side. The
checkerboard floor will rise to impede you. Keep track of where the
invisible walls are at and make your way to the other side.
- I strongly suggest you use the Bunny Hood or Goron Mask to whip through
it quickly. Also, the lady who owns the shop is shallow and will price
you dependent on your looks. 5 Rupees for a handsome Zora or 30 Rupees
if you're an ugly Goron.
|
|
- Play as a Goron to pay the most, but recieve [HEART PIECE #8] if you
win. I suggest using the Bunny Hood after you've paid.
~ Road to Snowhead ~
- Go find a Scarecrow and make a song if you haven't already. There's one
in the Trading Post in West Clock Town.
- Play the Song of Soaring to get to Snowhead, then head back through the
entrance into the previous area with all the rolling snowballs and the
big cliffs.
- Roll across the first deal. From here, turn left and use the Lens of
Truth to see some invisible ice blocks. Jump along them then use the
Scarecrow's Song at the end. Hookshot to him and snag [HEART PIECE #31].
~ Goron Village ~
- Next, go get 200 Rupees and bring them to Goron Village. There's a
Business Scrub here on the south side (right of where you enter from).
Put on the Goron Mask and talk with him. He'll upgrade your Big Bomb Bag to
the Biggest Bomb Bag for a hefty penny.
New Item: Biggest Bomb Bag
- Allows you to carry up to 40 Bombs at a time.
|
|
~ Termina Field ~
- Go to the entrance to Great Bay, right before the fence you have to jump
over with Epona. There's a big rock here, blow it up with Bombs or
punch it with the Goron Mask. Enter.
- Inside, there's some water with Bio Deku Babas underneath lily pads.
Slice them off and kill them. Now, if you look at the ceiling, there's
some bee
hives. Hit them with Arrows or your Hookshot. One of them has [HEART
PIECE #18], which will fall in the water. Sink down with the Zora Mask
to get it.
- Back outside, we need to find four separate holes, one in each compass
direction. In each of these holes are four Gossip Stones, each
representing the corresponding holes.
- In each hole, play either the Sonata of Awakening with the Deku Mask,
Goron's Lullaby with the Goron Mask, or the New Wave Bossa Nova with the
Zora Mask. When all of the Gossip Stones are the same color, you'll get
[HEART PIECE #20].
|
NORTH: Right before the ramp leading down into the snowy area, on the
right.
|
|
EAST: On the left side of the observatory.
|
|
SOUTH: Between the entrance to Milk Road and Southern Swamp.
|
|
WEST: Near the stairs leading down into the beach area, under a rock.
|
~ Road to Southern Swamp ~
- When heading towards Southern Swamp through the little area before it,
turn left instead and enter the door at the end. This is the Swamp
Shooting Gallery.
|
Mini-Game: Southern Swamp Shooting Gallery |
Required:
|
Prize:
- Larger/Largest Quiver (first time only)
- Heart Piece #22 (perfect score)
|
|
|
Rules:
- Kill anything that moves.
|
|
Cost:
|
|
- This one is a little different than the one in Clock Town in that
it's enemies running across a field. Each one gives you some points.
- It can be pretty difficult, but remember to just try and kill all the
Deku Scrubs as quick as possible. Those ones will reappear on mass if
you kill them all before they duck down. The Wolfos give you 100 points
each, so they're valuable as well.
|
|
- If you can get 2000+ points, he'll give you the Largest Quiver (if
you've already gotten the Large Quiver from the other Shooting Gallery).
New Item: Largest Quiver
- Allows you to carry up to 50 Arrows at a time.
|
|
- If you get a perfect score, he'll gift you with [HEART PIECE #22]. This is
pretty hard and I'm lazy. Get it if you feel like it, I skip it half the time
I play this game.
~ Southern Swamp ~
- Next, we're going to tackle the first Skulltula House. First, go buy a
Magic Bean from the Business Scrub outside the Swamp Tourist Center.
- Use the Song of Soaring to get to Woodfall, then exit through the
entrance and you'll be on the other side of the swamp. Use the Deku Mask
to jump from lily pads until you get to the island on your right with
the torch.

here, then enter.

Only really useful for a couple things.
|
|
- With the Mask of Truth in hand, we have a Piece of a Heart we can snag.
~ Romani Ranch ~
- Go collect lots of Rupees, then head to the Romani Ranch (just warp to
the last day so you don't waste a Powder Keg). At the far back of the

|
- This game is one of great chance, mostly not in your favor. There tons
of little doggies to choose from, but only a few are actually fast. Even
if you pick a fast one, it may get caught behind some of the others and
you'll still lose your bet.
- To make the entire experience much easier on yourself, wear the Mask
of Truth when picking your pooch to hear their thoughts. When you get
one that says something like:
"There's no way I'll lose!"
"I feel unstoppable!"
"My paws feel lighter than
usual!"
you've found your pup. Bet as much as you can for easy money.
|
|
- If you pick a fast one, bet a large amount of Rupees. If you earn 150 in
return or more, you'll be rewarded with [HEART PIECE #32]! It's pretty easy,
really.

two houses near the entrance, the one on the left is our next
destination.
|
Oceanside Spider House (Great Bay Coast) |

|
|
Where It's At:
- Right at the entrance to Great Bay Coast, there's two houses. enter the one
on the left.
|
|
- As you enter, use a Bomb on the cracked wall to reveal the hidden
entrance. Go ahead and slide down the ramp.
|
#1-2 On the wall on the ramp. |
|
#3 On the ceiling in the lower part of the room. Burn the spider web with
Fire Arrows, or use the torches nearby. |
|
- In this "stairs room", there are several spider webs blocking the doors.
We'll get to that later.
|
#4 Roll into the first large jar/barrel thing. |
|
#5 Roll into the last large jar/barrel (burn the spider webs first). |
|

Hookshot. |
|
#12 Behind a mask near the last door. |
- We're done in this room. Go back up the stair and burn the spider webs
covering the door nearest the one you entered from. Enter.
|
- This is the Library. First of all, if you have the Captain's Hat, go
speak with the two Stalchildren in this room to learn some useful information
for later (write it down). One's on the left side of the room at a table, and
the other's on top of a bookcase.
|
#13-14 On the far side of the left of the room, there is a bookcase against
the wall that you can push/pull to the right. Do so to reveal a hidden hole with
two Skulltulas. |
|
#15 On the right side of the room, there are three small bookcases. Pull
the outer ones away, then push/pull the middle one to either side to reveal a
small hole. Use the Hookshot. |
- On the right side of the room, there is a bookcase with some of the books
missing from it. Use it like a ladder to jump along the tops of all the other
bookcases.
|
#16 Behind a painting, right side corner of the room. |
|
#17 Along the ceiling on the right side of the room. |
|
#18 On top of a bookcase in the bottom left corner of the room. |

the Hookshot. |

around the corner and enter the last door.

blankets. Watch out for the big Skulltula in the center of the room.

the entrance. |

they will go. Use your Hookshot on the target in the ceiling area on the right
side of the room. In this upper area, slash the jars to find the last Skulltula
in this room. |
- We're done here, exit the room and enter the last door (near the
stairs).
|
- This room has a table with four Stalchildren sitting around it. If you have
the Captain's Hat, speak with them to learn the last of the order (write it
down).
- Once you have the completed order, shoot the colored masks on the wall
with your bow to open the gate. Go up the stairs, defeat the Skulltula and claim
[HEART PIECE #34]!.
|
#25 Roll into the giant jar/barrel thing in the corner, under the red
mask. |

|
- That's all! Head back to the entrance (Hookshot the targets, roll up the
ramp) to find a dude seeking a shelter from the Moon. He's willing to give you
something special if you'll give it to him.
- ONLY IF IT'S THE FIRST DAY OR NIGHT, he'll give you the Giant Wallet!
|
|
New Item: Giant Wallet
- Allows you to carry up to 500 Rupees.
|

of Time. |
|
5.3 We Are The Garo
Items: Map of Stone Tower
Songs: Garo's Mask
Heart Pieces: #45
|
~ Milk Road ~
- We need to get to Ikana Canyon, but in order to do so, we need one more
mask for the road. This time, take the path to the left of the Owl
Statue (when facing it).
~ Gorman Racetrack ~
- Here, you can speak with the brother near the fence to purchase Milk for
50 Rupees. It's not worth it, if you ever need Milk, just go play
Epona's Song for a cow.
- Anyway, bring your horse and speak with either of them to be challenged
to a little race for 10 Rupees a try. It's pretty easy, just make sure
you use your carrots right before you get to jumps or mud holes. At the
end, avoid the big mud holes, because you can't quite jump over them
completely and they'll slow you down.
|
Mini-Game: Gorman Racetrack |
Required:
|
Prize:
- Garo's Mask (first time only)
- Milk
|
|
|
Rules:
- Get across the finish line before the Gorman Bros.
- Try not to slow down in the mud, speed up for the jumps, etc.
|
|
Cost:
|
|
- Simply another racing mini-game. Use a carrot when your speed wears off.
There's two methods for using them, either to use one at a time and use
them as soon as they reappear, or to use them out completely and let
them charge up all at once (faster, but you're vulnerable for longer).
Use the latter method at the end in any case.
- The other thing to watch out for is all the obstacles. Make sure you're
going fast enough when you come to the fences if you plan on jumping
them. The mud pits are more dangerous in my opinion, because there are
some at the end you can't jump completely over at all.
|
|
- When you win, they'll have no choice but to gift you with a mask we need
to procede.
New Mask: Garo's Mask
- Wear this Mask to summon the wandering spirits of the Garo in Ikana
Canyon and Ikana Castle.
|
|
~ Ikana Valley ~
- Jump across the fences using Epona. At the end, put on the Garo Mask and
speak with the one-red-eyed creepy guy sitting on the ledge. He'll
disappear, leaving a small tree to take his place. Hookshot to it and
continue to the next area, ignoring the Nejirons along the way.
~ Ikana Canyon ~
- If it's still the First Day, you can see Sakon prancing around. If you
talk to him, he'll ask to see your sword for a moment (he's a thief).
Obviously, don't give it to him.
- Run forward to the water and see two Octoroks placed mischievously.
Shoot them with Ice Arrows, then use your Hookshot to work your way up
the cliff using the small ledges with trees.
- At the top, slash the Owl Statue to wake it up. If you look up, you'll
notice Tingle floating around. Work your way up to the higher ledge
using the nearby ramps, shoot him down and buy a Map of Stone Tower for
20 Rupees.
- Now, all around this area, you can wear the Garo's Mask to summon the
Garo ninjas who will fight you. After defeating them, they give you
useful bits of information. It doesn't really matter, but do so if you
want the full game experience.
- Now, if you'd like a Piece of a Heart, go to the Spirit House on the far
left side of this area along the top. Inside, you can play a little game
for 30 Rupees a try.
|
Mini-Game: Spirit House |
Required:
|
Prize:
- Heart Piece #45 (first time only)
|
|
|
Rules:
- Kill the four Poe Sisters within the time limit.
|
|
Cost:
|
|
- The object of the game is to kill the four Poe Sisters within three
minutes. The first three fight the same way. They become invisible (and
invulnerable), and charge at you. While they're visible and not
spinning, slash them with your sword or shoot them with an arrow.
- The last one, Meg, works a little differently. She'll appear with three
illusions of herself. Right after they appear, the real one will spin
around. Z target that one and shoot it with an arrow. Repeat.
|
|
- After you've defeated them all, you will be rewarded with [HEART PIECE
#45]! |
|
| |
5.5 Beneath The Well
Upgrades: Mirror Shield
|
~ Ikana Canyon ~
- Basically, the Well is a huge trading sequence to get our next item. You
will need several bottles as well as the following items:
* 5 Magic Beans
* 10 Deku Nuts
* 10 Bombs
* Fish
* Milk
* Blue Potion (if you want to explore the rest of it)
- Get the Magic Beans from the Business Scrub outside of the Swamp Tourist
Center. A good place to find Fish is in the puddles along the bank near
the Gerudo Lagoon entrance in Great Bay.
- A good place to find Milk is a hidden hole in the log (use Bombs)
leading towards Southern Swamp in Termina Field. Play Epona's Song for
the cow down there.
- Once you have these items, go to Ikana Canyon and (from the Owl Statue)
work your way up the left ramps until you get to the top. You'll find a
circle shape with a ladder leading down.
~ Beneath The Well ~
- I am only going to cover the essentials. Make sure you brought the items
I listed earlier (except for the Blue Potion).
- As you enter, put on the Gibdo Mask and speak with the Gibdo on your
right. This one wants 5 Magic Beans. Fork them over and go through the
door.
- In this room, you can get Deku Sticks and Spring Water. Speak with the
Gibdo farthest from where you entered. Give him 10 Deku Nuts and go
through.
- Here, you can find Bugs. Go around the corner and hand this Gibdo 10 Bombs.
Go through.
- Make your way to the center to make a Big Poe appear. Jump to avoid it,
then shoot it in the back with an arrow. Repeat till it's dead, then
snag it in a bottle. Return to the room previous to the last one.
- This time, speak with the Gibdo we ignored earlier. He wants a Fish.
After you've appeased his wild fetish, go through the door.
- This room has Deku Nuts. Continue onward to the door straight ahead.
Give him the Big Poe and go through.
- Here, there's Bugs on the left. Watch out for the two Wallmasters that attempt to steal
you.
- Work your way to the far side of the room, timing your running bursts to
avoid the spinning wooden deals. At the end, give the final Gibdo a
bottle of Milk.
- In this last room, run ahead and light all the torches to make a chest
appear.
Upgrade: Mirror Shield
- Stronger than your last shield, you can now protect yourself from energy
attacks. You can also reflect and store light.

- Test it out on the Sun Block and Sun Face if you like. This will reveal
a secret entrance to Ikana Castle.

5.6 Ikana Castle
Songs: Elegy of Emptiness
Heart Pieces: #47
|
~ Clock Town ~
- Okay, for this next area, we'll need a Powder Keg, so go buy one from
the Goron in the Bomb Shop for 50 Rupees.
~ Ikana Canyon ~
- There's two ways to get into Ikana Castle. One is at the end of the Well
area we just finished. The other shortcut only works if you have the
Mirror Shield.
- From the Owl Statue in Ikana Canyon, run towards the Castle gate (it's
white
and red) with the pillars around it. To the left side of it is a hole in
the stone wall. Enter it.
~ Ancient Castle of Ikana ~
- This is the secret entrance. Turn left and hit the crystal switch to
make the sunroof give way I suppose. Shine light onto the Sun Block near the
door to make it disappear.
- There's nothing to do outside (other than summon more Garos) so enter
the actual castle itself.
- Inside, you'll find several ReDeads (zombies). If you wear the Garo's
Mask, Gibdo Mask or Captain's Hat, they will dance harmlessly, allowing you to
slaughter them without a fight.
- There are two frozen eye switches on the pillars in this room. Melt the
one on the left to open the left door.
- In this room, hit the crystal switch to make the flamey platform of doom
rise for a short time. Run across to the other side before it goes back
down.
- Our goal is to get on top of the small platform halfway here. Hit the
switch on this side and quickly run to the closest flower to the platform. Slap
on the Deku Mask and fly onto the platform.
- If you mess up you'll have to restart. When you get there, take off the
Deku Mask to press in the switch, shoot the crystal switch with an
arrow, jump down and go
through the door.
- This room is a little trippy. It's got a big hole that leads nowhere and
it's pretty easy to fall in. The first step is to unlock the door on the
other side.
- Get to the platform on your left with the switch on it. You can use the
flower on the starting platform, or you can use your Lens of Truth to
see an
invisible ice platform.
- After that, there's two methods of getting to the door:
- You can go along the left, using the Lens of Truth and Bunny Hood to
jump around as you kill Skulltulas, or...
- You can get back to the starting platform (using the ice platform) then
fly along the right side using the flowers. Shoot the hanging mines in the
center between the pillars, then fly through there to the door.
- In the next room, there are some Blue Bubbles. If they Jinx you, just
play the Song of Storms to cure yourself. Go up the stairs.
- We're back outside. First of all, I suggest you kill the Guay (crows)
using your bow so they don't bother you. Next, climb on top of the outer
railing and walk along it going left. Jump down to the lower area (above the
entrance) with the flower on it.
- From here, fly to the switch and take off your mask to press it down.
This will cause a big block to move, allowing light into one of the rooms we
ignored earlier.
- If you'd like a Heart Piece, jump across to the flower, take it back to
the other flower, back to the railing. Go back left, then shoot the crystal
switch to cause the fire on the pillars to cease.
- Quickly jump down to the first flower, put on the Deku Mask and fly
along the pillars before the fire returns. At the end, you will find [HEART
PIECE #47]!
- Go back to the first room (at the entrance). You can just jump down and
go through the front door if you're up there still.
- This time, shoot a Fire Arrow at the frozen eye switch on the right to
open the right door. Go through.
- In this room, there's a Floormaster. Nasty thing. Reflect some light on
it to kill it easily as well as the little ones that pop out. Shine some on
the Sun Block to remove it. Harass the ReDeads and finally, go through the
door.

Mini-Boss: Wizrobe (4th Time) |
Tatl:
"It's a Wizrobe.
You'll get your chance right when
it starts to attack. Be on the
lookout for it!"
|
|
Received: |
Attacks:
- Shoots a fire blast at you.
|
|
- I'm sorry, but yes, you have to fight him, AGAIN. This time, he has a
fire attack which explodes into little fire things that fling in several
directions once it hits the ground.
- Other than that, everything's the same. Use your compass to find him
quickly.
|
Summery:
- Use the Goron Mask to roll around when he starts appearing or use
arrows. The real one is solid, as well as a red dot on your Map.
|
|
|
- After he's dead, put on a scary mask and go through the next door. Kill
the ReDeads and go up the stairs.
- We're back on the roof. There's a hole we uncovered earlier, but DON'T
JUMP IN! Instead wander around this top area to find a cracked portion of
stone.
- Lay the Powder Keg I told you to buy earlier and let a resounding "boom"
announce the way forward. Jump on into this one.
- We're back in the entrance room. Shine some light on the ReDeads (by
just spinning around in a circle) then make the Sun Block disappear. Venture
onward to tackle the boss of this area.
|
Mini-Boss: Skull Knights |
Tatl:
"Just keep defending and watch his
movements. I think I'm starting to
see his weak point!"
|
|
Received: |
Attacks:
- Slashes at you with their swords.
|
|
- I don't really know these guys' names. Seeing as they're a comic relief,
you'd think Nintendo would give them something...
- As you start the battle with the King of Ikana, he will instead send his
lackeys after you and watch from the sidelines. If you try to harm him, he'll
either counterattack or deflect it.
- As soon as you can, burn away one of the two blinds blocking the windows
using a Fire Arrow to allow light to come in. While standing in the light, the
skeletons will avoid you at all cost. From there, shoot the other drapes.
- These guys obviously are weak to the light, but you can't reflect any
onto them because they just guard against it. Wait for a gap in their defenses
or stun them, then stab them quickly. This can be done quickly using the Deku
Mask or Deku Nuts.
- After just a few hits, they'll fall to the ground. Run back to the light
and shine it on their bodies to finish them off. Repeat this process with the
other one.
|
Summery:
- Shoot the drapes blocking the windows with Fire Arrows. Stand in the
light when you don't wish to be attacked. Go confront them, use sword and shield
tactics to take them down. Run back and shine light on them to kill them.
|
|
|
- After they're defeated, you'll have to battle the king himself. Quickly,
put on the Captain's Hat for something amusing. =)
|
Mini-Boss: Igos du Ikana (King of Ikana) |
Tatl:
"Stick with using the basic
target methods while defending.
...He's a different rank than those
other two lackeys, though..."
|
|
Received: |
Attacks:
- Slashes at you with his sword.
- Uses a jumping slash attack. Easy to avoid, but does heavy damage.
- Decapitates himself, sending his head flying around to chomp on you.
Hard to avoid.
- Breathes poison gas towards you.
|
|
- If you wear the Captain's Hat before the battle, he thinks you're him!
Anyway, this guy is pretty much the same as the other two, but considerably
harder.
- For the most part, this guy will use a variety of attacks and can still
defend against yours on the fly, which makes him much harder. Use Z targeting
and your shield a lot.
- Obviously, the goal is to shine light on him. He takes quite a bit of
hits to knock him to the floor though, and unlike the other two, it's much
easier to shine light on him while he's running around.
- One method of hurting him is to use the Deku Mask to spin around to his
backside, take off the mask, and slash him while he's stunned.
- Perhaps the most annoying thing about this guy is his decapitation
technique. He severs his head which flies around, and as far as I know, is
invulnerable. His body becomes transparent and will follow you around, slashing
at you. Inevitably, he'll come and chomp on your own head. For the most
part, It's unavoidable... It is possible to avoid though if you roll at just the
right moment.
- After several hits, he'll fall down. Run over to the light and shine it
on this fellow as well.
|
Summery:
- Same as his guards, but harder. Stay close and stab him when you can. Try to
shine light on him when he uses his poison breath. Run away when his head starts
floating around. After several hits, he will fall down. Shine light on him to
slay him.
