So it makes you see stairs and bombable walls and cave entrances? Anything else? I never had a lens of truth in any quest so far, so I'm confuzzled with it. 😊
Alphadawg's unofficial 3rd Quest Help
Yeah, it will sometimes reveal invisible pathways (say, over bottomless pits) and any secret combos that are triggered by burning, bombing, etc. something else. It may not always reveal secret stairs, caves, or bombable walls, though (although the lens will reveal some of them).
Oh, and you might want to try tapping the button instead of holding it down. This can help conserve your rupee supply.
Yeppies, I already noticed the rupee costs when using the lens. I think it's a bit too expensive for what it really serves. Anyway, I hope I'll manage to beat Level 9 this or next year ... some day. 😊
If you like U3Q, check out the revamped version of the quest - Conquest Of Sarpadia. You need a specific beta(758) to play it, but it's tremendous...
If I may ask, what version are you playing U3Q on where you were able to get the flippers?
Bump for a quick question...
I'm playing U3Q...when I read that someone was able to use a more recent beta to get the flippers, I gave it a shot. Yay flippers! I went to the bonus level, made it through, found a few nice surprises in there, got to the item at the end, and...couldn't pick the darn thing up. *HEADDESK* I have 16 hearts maximum plus the extra heart piece, anything else I need?
where is the magical book? I am in level 7 and I think I need the book to get past the room with the patra which I already killed. I need the magical book to burn a bush but sadly I have looked everywhere to no avail. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Book is in Level 5.
I looked in every room in level 5 and burned every bush so where the heck is the book? Which room in level 5? I have been in every room.
Crud, I'm sorry, my mistake...Level 4, not 5.
Yes, the book is in Level 4. I'll look up my maps later in case you need more help on its exact location.
A bonus level? You don't mean the actual flippers cave, do you?
I found the magical book and now need help on where the heck is level 8. I know it is somewhere in the red area where I used the wand to access.
Ok I found level 8 and what a doozy so far. I found the next bomb upgrade at least.
Yes, there's a bonus level that you need to flippers to reach...the bonus item(master sword) is there. Be sure to check EVERY possible place you can swim...
Okies, thankies. The master sword would be nifty to fight off all those blue wizzies in Level 9. 😉
Except, as I noted earlier, for whatever reason I couldn't pick up the master sword despite having 16 hearts plus the extra piece. Ugh...hopefully Alphadawg or somebody else can clarify that minor issue(I used build 910).
You can get the mirror shield in Level 9, so that may help your Wizzrobe battling...
Well, that's a problem... By default, you need 21 hearts to pickup the Master Sword; and since you couldn't change the required number of hearts for pickup in Zquest v1.90...yeah.
Yes, the mirror shield can prove to be very useful against the wizzrobes (and is in both versions of the quest, btw). Also, let me know if you need my map. I drew it in more detail than the other levels, including which passageways go where, etc.
For the longest time, I had been playing U3Q on 2.10.2 where I couldn't get the flippers. Was happy to finally get them, but now I can't pick up the master sword...oh well. The discount lens in that dungeon was a nice surprise, at any rate.
You mean there's a second lens in that bonus level? Oh wowies, and I bought the normal one, me is idiot. =D
To be fair, I wasn't aware of it until just recently...I also wasn't aware of the hint room in L8 that you mentioned, so score one for you there.
Anybody can help me reach the boss room in L7 ('M' shaped). For the life of me I can't figure it out and have been to every room except for the boss room and triforce room. Thanks!
[MENTION=39330]CJC[/MENTION]: I think the "3rd" and "Unofficial 3rd" are two completely different quests. :tongue2:
That's right, I'm looking for help in L7 of the unofficial third quest. To clarify, the map has the shape of an "M". My problem is that I cannot find my way to the boss room, even though I've explored everything else.
Nevermind, I finally figured it out. I could have sworn I whistled in EVERY room...😉
Of course, no problem. And thanks for taking the time to reply!
I'm about to beat this (sadly for the first time). Does anybody know where to find the unpassworded version? I'd like to find the 2 missing heart pieces that I haven't found yet.
I actually seem to remember there being a site that had interactive overworld maps of both the third and fourth quests. Does anybody know where that was located or if it's even still up?
