Thanks for the correction. I remembered thats what I had to do. Now on to Level 9! Where? How?

here's a hint to find level 9: what's this quest called?
oh, and another: stand in the middle of the triforce mark and ...

p.s. level 9 is so much easier if you have the master key but it's still worth collecting all the rest and beating the bosses. oh yes, and somewhere in the quest is a golden arrow and a fire boomerang.

Thanks but standing in the middle of the triforce symbol
reveals the wooden pegs. Then marching up to the entrance
I find the door closed. Doing everything but using a super bomb, and nothing.

well then you might want to use a super bomb.....

Yes and after entering the mirror is not revealing any blockage in the third room up, where the guy with the long tongue awaits.

Thanks and have a great day

Thank you DarkFlamewolf, that was on my mind.

big problem in hammer level:
i am unable to get the boss key.

i tried to wand the prism, from the right like the walkthrough said (which i consulted afetr trying everything), bomb, whistle, arrow, slash, candle and boomerang it but the blocks dont give way, and i cant get the key.

any ideas?


__________________________
Andnay, how did you get around this problem, please? Killed all enemies in the room. If I need the book, where is it?

I think you need the book so that the wand is stronger. Apart from that it could be you have to kill all enemies in the room.

not before level 2, i don't think. There's a shield you can buy though that blocks fireballs. The way I beat digdogger was to stand at the top and stun kids with the boomerang then finish them off with arrows. I believe if you throw the boomerang just after you blow the whistle you can stun all kids at once.

It's 5 hearts for the white sword so you can get it after level 2 but before level 3 (and trust me, you'll be needing it).

what do you do in level 3 in the room with the gray diamond and the chest? and what item other than the glove do you get in level 3

This quest is great, I was so agitated at HD because of the level 4 bug that I wanted to give that quest a break before I tackle that monster again. So I gave this quest a whirl and it is awesome. I have 1 complaint though. I wish enemies and bushes/pots would drop magic bottles more often....this drove me insane in level 3. I had to keep goin back to the shop on the forest island to buy a refill. But thats my only gripe 😃 . I look forward to more great quests from you DFW.

First off this is a great quest. I also bought one of those RetroGames original NES controllers which really helps out and gives the game a unique experience.

I am having two problems.

First off in the windmill level the boss that holds the master key, a pantra I think it�s called (the one with the dual counter rotating rings of fly�s). Can anyone shed some light on a good way to defeat it? I have 24 hearts, but I don't have any potions left over. I used them up trying to beat that fire breathing dragon in level 8 which helped bring my death count up to 325, until I got smart and took two potions in with me.

The second problem is getting level b to open up; at least I think it�s the entrance to level b. It�s the two small islands just above Swamp Island. I have tried everything I can think of to be able to get onto that triangle. But there is a hookshot bush blocking the way too it.

Any help would be extremely helpful!

Thanks in advanced.

Also a word of advice for anyone using 2.10 to play. In level eight with the gray DarkNuts that split into two (the mini boss) if you die in this room you will rematerialize inside the door and can�t escape. Just save the game and when you restart you will be restart in main entrance.

That bug in level 8 is a 2.10 Bug that also appears in Levels A, B, C as I have frequently pointed out. Best to play with beta 1.83.

As for the patra, I think somewhere on the dark town island you can buy potions in a cave. But I did beat it without a potion so it's possible. My trick is to move so that the patra kids spin out in a bigger circle then move back, stand just outside where they spin and sword/hammer repeatedly. It's not the master key though, that is, well, later on and quite expensive.

Yes, that is level B you have to hookshot across and it opens the same way as level A and level C and all the link statues. You don't stand on the triangle to open it.

DarkFlameWolf wrote:24 hearts? You must be having some cheat mode on, cuz you can only acquire up to 16 normally in that quest. lol

my bad i meant 16. that dragon in lvl eight was hard as hell to beat. Props to you. I finally did defeat that Pantra in the dark world town and am off to finish level b and level c before i head off to the isle of winds.

Ok now i am in trouble. I know that i shouldn't have used the 210 to play the quest. But i took the chance making a note not to save inside any of the known buggy levels. but I forgot in level b. Now i am stuck. Anyone know of a way to combat this, so i don't have to go through the trouble of starting all over again. Or can someone provide me with their save file?

to give you an idea of where i was. I had finished all 8 levels, the dark town, and level a, i had gotten the fire boomarang and all heart containers and hammer. i had just beaten level b and gotten the mirror shield and was about to head off to level c and then to isle of winds.

Any help would be appreciated. I wouldn't even mind starting somewhere half way.

OK, i'll say it again:

[CENTER]! ! ! WARNING ! ! ! [/CENTER]
If you play in 2.10 do not save in the levels' boss rooms or your save file will be trashed and you have to start from the beginning.
(If I find out how to make this text animated or flashing I will do it. Maybe then people will actually read it.)

I hope that was clear. Play in 1.83, that's the official version the quest was made for, or 1.84 (you can copy save files between 1.83 and 1.84, but NOT 2.10).

=====

About my save file I've sent you an email, firemarble.

Same goes for all my quests, play them in beta 183. Besides, there are game-crashing bugs in 2.10 that would allow my quests to be unplayable, even if they were to be ported over to that version. (Patra 2 and 3 anyone? Can't beat those guys in 2.10 due to that one tiny damn bug!)

DarkFlameWolf wrote: (Patra 2 and 3 anyone? Can't beat those guys in 2.10 due to that one tiny damn bug!)

Actually I did beat the patra 3 but after several tries, the kid doesn't get stuck if you walk in a certain way, but I agree it is most annoying if it does.

Oh i did beat the pantra in 2.10 after several tries. but my bug was just a stupid mistake on my part. I saved right after i died in level b. instead of Retrying.

At least there are people who are willing to take the chance to play it in the new 2.10, that way when you go to create a new quest in the future you can be aware of the issues.

Can sombody help me, i am in level 6 and i can only get into the first three rooms and i am stuck, i know i must be doing something stupid, butr i am stumped. Thanks.

Level 6 can be considered the annoying level. You gotta walk through alot of walls, bomb walls and fight some invisible enemies and blue lanmolas.

I'm having a problem obtaining my last 1/4 heart container. i see it on death island but for some reason all my tools won't clear the rock i see. Any suggestions? Thanks

Go to the graveyard portion of that screen (coming out of the cave) and use your wand and magic book fire to burn the small bush at the top of the screen. Loop back around to the heart piece. Enjoy. 😊

trying to complete the quest but i am having some troubles with level 9. can't find the boss key, also can't beat the 3 white wizrobes. Any advice?

Also I never got the golden arrow where is it located?

thanks.

Those white wizzrobes I think are mirror wizzrobes, you need the mirror shield to reflect their magic back at them. But can't you just walk past them?

There are some rooms in lvl 9 you haven't found yet, some of them well hidden (think golden arrow). Boss key I can't remember , I'll go and have a look ...
