A Link Between Worlds Walkthrough Chapter 8: Swamp Palace |
The Swamp Palace is a dungeon in A Link Between Worlds. It can only be completed after Link obtaining a Big Bomb Flower from the Bomb Shop in Lorule. Link must also obtain the Hookshotfrom Ravio in order to complete the dungeon. Link must travel through the dungeon in order to obtain Oren's Painting.
Gaining Entrance
The Swamp Palace is located in the Southern Ruins of Lorule, in the area between Misery Mire and Turtle Rock. The entrance is initially blocked by a giant stone slab that is impossible to destroy with normal Bombs. However, Link can obtain a Big Bomb Flower from the Bomb Shop south of Thieves' Town for 200 rupees. This bomb will follow Link wherever he travels, and is highly susceptible to enemy attacks. If Link can manage to walk it down to the Swamp Palace entrance, then it can be used to blow up the stone slab, allowing the water to drain out of the dungeon. After the water drains out, the Hookshot can be used to reach the main platform, allowing Link to enter the dungeon.
Dungeon Overview
The Swamp Palace is considered to be the water dungeon of A Link Between Worlds. Thus, it features water as mechanism to navigate the dungeon, and also features some water based enemies that are rarely seen anywhere else in the game. As the Hookshot is the dungeon's item, some enemies will also require it in order to defeat them.
Using the Hookshot, Link can raise and lower the water level in certain rooms via special control valves found exclusively in this dungeon. The water level can be raised and lowered to three different levels, allowing Link to explore different rooms and find items and chests in rooms he could not before.
The Hookshot can also be used to latch onto certain wooden targets, from which he can merge onto walls that otherwise could not be reached. These wooden platforms are found exclusively in this dungeon, except for a few mini-dungeons where the Hookshot is used.
The Blue Mail can also be found in this dungeon, which will halve the damage that Link takes.

Mini-Boss
Boss
Arrghus is the returning boss of the Swamp Palace. He resembles a giant jellyfish with multiple "eyes" floating around him. Link must use the Hookshot to draw the eyes away from his body and attack them with the Master Sword until none of the surrounding eyes are remaining. Then Link will be able to attack Arrghus's main body, allowing for his eventual defeat.
