Lakebed Temple: Difference between revisions

The [[Mini-Boss]] of the Lakebed Temple is known as the [[Deku Toad]]. Hence the name, it is a large toad that lives inside the Lakebed Temple. It guards the Dungeon Item of the Lakebed Temple, the [[Clawshot]], and seeing how Link requires the Clawshot to complete the dungeon, this might get ugly. Upon entrance to the room where the Deku Toad lies, Link will find it empty. After looking around for a clue on how to continue moving forward, he will see the Deku Toad on the ceiling. The Deku Toad will then proceed to fall down to the ground and begin the battle. The battle area is a simple oval-shaped room with about an inch of fluid on the floor, whether it's water or something else Link will never know. The Deku Toad main form of attack is to give birth to numerous [[Toado]]s, which look very similar to real-life Tadpoles, and send them to Link to attack. Link can kill all them with his [[Sword]]. Link then can use the [[Ending Blow]] on the Deku Toad in order to defeat it. As it dies, it will spit out a chest, which is a fairly disgusting scene. Inside the [[Treasure Chest|chest]] lies the Dungeon Item of the Lakebed Temple, the [[Clawshot]].

The [[Boss]] of the Lakebed Temple is known as the [[Morpheel|Twilit Aquatic: Morpheel]]. It is a large sea-serpent type enemy with scales as hard as rock for skin. As can be expected with ''Twilight Princess'' bosses, the weak spot of Morpheel is an eye that has a nice little spot on top of his head. The battle takes place in a large circular room that is completely underwater, so wearing the [[Zora Armor]] is a must. Link must attack the eye with his sword a number of times, at which time he can perform the [[Ending Blow]] on it, killing Morpheel once and for all. Morpheel will go into a frenzy, smashing into all the pillars that surround the area. It will then smash its head into a wall, creating a hole into which all the water in the area will escape through. Morpheel will explode, and its remains will come together and become the final [[Fused Shadow]].

Throughout the Lakebed Temple, Link will be able to find four items that will help him on his way through the temple. These items are the [[Dungeon Map]], the [[Compass]], the [[Big Key]], and the [[Small Key]]s.

The Dungeon Map is basically its name, a map of the entire dungeon. This is very helpful to Link as he travels through the [[Dungeon]]. It is found in a chest that is in the main room with the moveable staircase. The first time Link enters this room he can get the map, by simply adjusting and re-adjusting the staircase so he can search every corner of this room. Eventually he will find the chest and acquire the [[Dungeon Map]].

The Compass is a standard for dungeons in ''Twilight Princess''. It has a very useful function; it shows Link the location of every [[Treasure Chest]] in the dungeon, as well as the location of the [[Boss]]. It lies in a chest on the fourth floor. Right before activating the second switch that releases water, Link can use the [[Clawshot]] to get to the other side of the fence. On the other side lies the chest that contains the [[Compass]].

Throughout the Lakebed Temple, there are twenty-six total Treasure Chests that are begging Link to open them. All of these chests contains useful items, including [[Rupee]]s, Dungeon Items, [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]], Equipment, and Regular Items.  

There are six chests in the Lakebed Temple that contain any amount of [[Rupee]]s. Five of the six chests contain a [[Red Rupee]], which is worth 20 Rupees. The last chest contains a [[Purple Rupee]], which is worth 50 Rupees. This is a pretty good time to get the [[Big Wallet]] from [[Agitha]], as Link's [[Wallet]] could get pretty full after collecting all those Rupees.

As with every dungeon in ''Twilight Princess'' there are two [[Piece of Heart|Heart Pieces]] to be found in this dungeon. The first one requires the [[Clawshot]] to acquire, while the second one requires both water switches to be activated and the Clawshot.

Eleven chests in the Lakebed Temple carry regular items. These items include [[Bomb]]s, [[Arrow]]s, and [[Water Bomb]]s. Five of these eleven chests carry Bombs, four carry Water Bombs, and the final two carry Arrows.

If Link opens all the [[Treasure Chest]]s that contain Bombs, he would have acquired 50 Bombs. One chest holds 20 Bombs, two hold 10 [[Bomb]]s, and two hold 5 [[Bomb]]s. Most of these chests are found at the beginning of the dungeon, mostly serving as a hint that he can use [[Bomb Arrow]] on certain things hanging from the ceiling.

In total, there are 35 Water Bombs available for Link to collect in the Lakebed Temple. Three chests hold 10 Water Bombs, while the final one holds 5 [[Water Bomb]]s. Because the Lakebed Temple is a water-themed dungeon, there are going to be quite a few times where he is underwater. The Water Bombs are great for blowing up rocks underwater.

Last, but not least, are the Arrows. If Link opens the two chests that contains arrows, he can collect 40 arrows. Both of the chests that hold arrows are located near the beginning of the dungeon. Also, both chests hold 20 [[Arrow]]s. They are a hint to Link that he has to use Bomb Arrows in the immediate area.
