The [[Mini-Boss]] of the Forest Temple is known as Ook, leader of the monkeys.{{Ref|''Gale Boomerang Twilight Princess Trading Card''|Ook, the baboon boss, must be defeated to obtain [the Gale Boomerang].|Card Description}} Gaining access to the Mini-Boss room requires Link to free three monkeys and use them to swing over the large gap between the main dungeon and the chamber where Ook lies. There was previously a bridge spanning across the gap, but Ook cut it off with the Gale Boomerang. During the battle, Ook uses the Gale Boomerang to release [[Baba Serpent]]s that are hanging from the ceiling. They act as more of an obstacle, and thus should be avoided. After Link has defeated Ook, Ook appears to be very confused as to his surroundings, and once he sees Link he exits the room and leaves behind the Gale Boomerang for Link to collect. With the Gale Boomerang in hand, Link can travel even further into the dungeon as he continues his search for a part of the Fused Shadow.

The [[Boss]] of the Forest Temple is known as the Twilit Parasite: Diababa. This parasite version of a standard [[Deku Baba]] is a corruption caused by the powerful Fused Shadow. Diababa can be defeated using a combination of [[Bombling]] attacks and Sword attacks. Ook actually assists Link in this battle by providing Link with Bomblings after Diababa destroyes the ones in the area. After Link has performed an [[Hidden Skills#Ending Blow|Ending Blow]] on Diababa, it explodes into a million tiny black spots. These spots come together to form the first piece of the Fused Shadow. [[Midna]] tells Link that this is what she has been looking for,{{Ref|TP|6544|[[Midna]]}} and urges him to continue in search of the rest.{{Ref|TP|6552|[[Midna]]}} With that, the Forest Temple is completed.

The Dungeon Map is a very useful item, one of the more useful items in the game. It shows Link the entire make-up of the Forest Temple, thus preventing Link from ever getting lost. It can be found in the second room from the start of the dungeon. At the top of the stairs in this room, there are four unlit torches on each corner of the altar-like area. If Link lights them all up with his [[Lantern]], stairs will appear in front of him, leading to a platform that was previously unreachable. On this platform, there is a chest to the left (Wii). Inside this chest is the Dungeon Map.

The Big Key is the one and only key that Link can use to unlock the door that leads to the area where Diababa lurks. From the start, go through the first room and enter the second room. Go up the stairs and go left (Wii) over the gap using a monkey. Follow the path until Link reaches a gate that blocks access to the chest behind it. Link can use the Gale Boomerang to activate the windmills in a specific order specified by the pattern on the floor. Doing so correctly opens the gates, allowing Link the opportunity to open the chest and gain the Big Key.
