The 12 Palaces FAQs

[Nickrj]

Hey Dan.

I'm stuck at the Palace Of Water. I need a key to get past the room with the 3 Dodognos and I can't find one. Can you help?

[Dan Furst]

Heh, you got fooled by the shallow water. :) Just go south from the dodongos.

[Nickrj]

Ok. How do I get past the lost graveyard? I saw that there's a man who says someone with a birds eye view should help me but it isn't.

There are rock or tree formations to the west of the graveyard area that form 4 arrows to show you how to get through the maze. Use your map to view it. Make sure you visited those screens first.

[Dan Furst]

Yeah, the westernmost "white" area.

[Nickrj]

Ok. Now I need help clearing level 8.

In the southeast there are blocks you have to push into the X's. Is there a way you can push them in and get inside into the staircase or is that just a red herring?

Hi Dan,

Great quest; I am really enjoying it so far. I'm not too far into it and am having trouble figuring out what to do, however. I have beaten the Forest Dungeon and gotten the sword and blue candle. I've been wandering around, burning things and finding secrets and heart pieces, I've found some shops, and a few other dungeons, but I can't get into any of the dungeons. I'm not sure which I'm supposed to go for next (how can you tell which number the dungeon is?). All of the ones I've found, I cannot get far in as I need a stepladder or something to that effect. The sand dungeon seems to be the only one I could get into if I had a key, but I can't find one (I tried going outside and to the west as somebody said in the thread, no dice!). Any tips or hints for me to figure out what to do? Thanks so much!

Hi Andrea.

Two spaces left of the sand palace there are a bunch of peahats. Kill them all to open a staircase which will give you a key.

[Dan Furst]

Ninkrj: Yes, you can get to that staircase to obtain a key.

Andrea: You can tell the level number by the number of statues on one half of the first room. The sand palace has 2 on the left and 2 on the right. It's Level 2.

Ok I finished level 8 but now I need the silver arrows to continue. where are they?
