DOY revised: bug in dream village?

[jman2050]

Heh, I guess C was smart about tha particular part

You'll find out later on what to do there, if you explore enough that is.

I can't find out were I am supposed to go. I beat the first dungeon (the Deku Tree), the owl told me to go to the Dreameaters but I can't find them. I'm getting tired of aimlessly searching Overland Hyrule. I AM going to the west, just to let you know. I just can't find out were to get the glove or whatever I need.

[bigboylink]

The message to go to the Dreameater's Village isn't meant to be an indication of the exact next task to do; rather, the owl is trying to set the stage for the story. To answer your question, there's a greedy "Pay me and I'll talk" guy in the village who will tell you where you need to go next. You'll have to go after the glove first.

After defeating Toad's Nightmare and getting the Relic Stone I went back to excavating. After going 6 screens north and going "down stairs" and using the relic stone and heading north 1 room and west 3 rooms you come too a room that your blocked from going anywhere and it has a fat statue throwing fireballs. My question is .... How do you get pasted this area? there is a room to the south but until I get by all the blocks I'm stuck.

[C-Dawg]

Fajz, I don't remember how you get "pasted" that area. It's been awhile. I can tell you that the Excavation contains a lot of secret push blocks and walls, and different parts of the Excavation require different items (such as Level 2 Glove) to get through. Jman might be able to tell you better what to do.

I do remember that there are around 4 or 5 floors to the Excavation, and as you go deeper and deeper you get close to uncovering the secret behind those ruins and the quest in general.

[fajz]

Thanks C-Dawg. I'll keep exploring, wait and hope to hear from JMan.

[jman2050]

well, I'm not one for completely spoiling the game, just know that there are a lot of dead ends and secret passages present in Excavation, so explore carefully, and remember that you will need items from later dungeons to even have a chance.

Speaking of which, there's a bug that allows you to get a certain powerful item in there before you're supposed to. I should fix that >_>

[C-Dawg]

If you mean how you can reach the end of the Excavation with only four (correctly placed) Relic Stones, that's not a bug...

[jman2050]

no, no, not that. I knew about that (and actually planned to do that in my current playthrough ^_^). I'm actually talking about a certain room that, because of an oversight in the order of enemies in the enemy list, allowed you to defeat all the enemies in the room without an item that was neccesary for the defeat of said enemies, leading to a particularly strong weapon that ended up saving my butt in Twilight Gardens and the dungeons within >_>;

[bigboylink]

I haven't been to the Twilight Gardens yet, but am I right to assume that the weapon you're referring to will also allow you to make the Predator dungeon much easier to traverse, because you can pass through the first room north of the entrance unscathed? I was surprised to be able to kill those enemies in the excavation so conveniently...

In the spirit of your original request to make note of any errors with the intention of making this quest a lot better, I have some more bugs to report. There are a few places where, if one falls down a pit or dives into certain deep waters, you end up in a glitchy type of room with 4 keese. While on the screen with 4 keese, moving left or right repeats the screen, going north is impossible (I think) and going south brings you back to the original screen with pits and/or water. There is a spot on the Storm Tower's 5th floor central room, with red helmasaurs(darknuts) and red wizzrobes, where you can fall in the pit and experience this. You can also experience this if you press escape, then continue, while in Lake Hylia. Sometimes moving north on the glitchy keese screen from Lake Hylia puts you on the Introduction screen ("Lights please") and then back in the rainy Kokiri village (where you can snag a previously unavailable heart piece) I'll post more locations of this scenario as I come across them.

Another cave bug where you can't move east is the entire underground Goron City! Furthermore, a more glaring bug occurs when you escape and continue while in Goron City, you are brought to a new area, whose name is present in all Zelda games, that I'm pretty sure you shouldn't have access to yet. (I wouldn't know when this area should be accessed; I'm currently exploring the Hotel in the next nightmare and trying to find the Predator dungeon boss key)

Oh, to save me the trouble of looking, could someone please tell me if the Pedator dungeon boss key is underwater? I did manage to find the one regular key that was underwater, but I refuse to go searching through that messy bottom floor for the possibility of finding the boss key. Thanks to whomever can point me in the right direction.
