Hidden Duality: Directors Cut Help Thread

378 replies · 92,091 views · Started 21 August 2004

Hello again, Im in the master dome and I am curious if there is another item somewhere that will allow me to see in that castle. Certain screens i am walking around blind in. Is that a glitch or a design??? Other rooms I can see the room but I am invisible so I have to guess where my guy is in the room. ANY HELP??

Hi, I am a newcomer!
If some of you have problems with Dungeon 1, I have a little help: I've drawn a map of that Dungeon and if you like it, I can make more... 😊

Visit my Homepage

Not really needed since mapmaker is currently out and its for beta 183 which all my quests are made for. So I could easily make maps for all the dungeons in less than 5 minutes. But thanks for the thought.

@DarkFlameWolf
Uhh, nice tool, but it only imports *.qsu files and the file in the archive I downloaded contains only a *.qst file. So how can I make maps of your quest? Or are the maps already online? My friend "google" hasn't found anything.

I hate to jump in so late here, but I just started playing Hidden Duality last night (by the way, finding Level 2 was a cinch in comparison to figuring out that those things were boomerang-only switches in Level 1, just sayin'😉.

This is more an odd question for DarkFlame: is there a way to read the signs, or are they just there for decoration?

DarkFlameWolf wrote:decoration. 😊

Ah. Good to know. I'll try to stop reading them now.

However, the dumb questions continue (this for anyone who knows). In Level 2, how do you get the Lantern? I've been walking in circles and falling through the same holes in the floors and know there's another section of the map I've never been to, but I'm since nothing in my aresenal activates any switches, I'm thinking it's the Magic Boomerang (which I can't get until I get the Lantern).

Oh...and the locked door right after the locked door was cute. Though did make me scream at the computer.

d00d, its only level 2! It only gets worse! LOL
Find two keys in the dungeon and fall through a hole behind a lantern near the entrance. That should put you on the right track. (I believe) towards the lantern.

Yeah. I found the hole behind the lantern. I'm not a complete moron.

I take that back. I AM a complete moron, because I can't find the second key. Well, I can FIND it, but I can't actually GET it because there's a large row of blocks in the way and nothing I've done in the room makes them go away.

Unless of course, I got (and used) two keys (I'm well aware I used one, but in all my multi-questing, I could have easily forgotten picking up a second and unlocking a door without making note of it on my map).

Hi maltlick,
if you still have got problems with dungeon 2, try my dungeon map. It's helpful, trust me!

You'll find it at speedbomb.de

Hi,
the overworld map for the light world "Galea" is online now! 😊
I've made a screenshot of every screen in the light world an put it together. There are dungeon and shop numbers already. I will add some useful information in the next couple of days...

Here's a little "thumbnail" (the big map has a size of 983.35 KB):

Also online: A map of Dungeon 3. Enjoy it! 😉

I have the Ocarina, Wand, Bracelet, and Boss Key. I need 1 Key to open the door before the Boss Door. Where is the last key. I got all the keys that are shown in your Dungeon 3 Map. Do you know what room the last key is in?

By taking a quick look at that map... there is an unmarked chest on the 3rd floor. It is toward the upper left, and requires the bracelet to reach. If I remember correctly, that should be your key.

I am such an idiot. I thought I had open that chest already. Since the map didn't mark it as a key, I never bothered to check again. doh, I shouldn't be so lazy next time. Thanks. Off to fight the boss!

I can't find the ladder or actually I can't find a key i need. I have the red candle and got a few keys getting me through a few doors. I am in 5/9 at a locked door left then up from the stairs. Please help.

WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME?!

And I mean that. ^_^

Find it funny that his maps don't show all the secret rupee rooms. lol Nor are they labeled completely since some chests have bombs in them, he didn't label those. And he missed labeling a chest on the third floor that has a key in level 3.

I found the rupee rooms no problem, usually. It's actually pretty easy when to guess on where to bomb a hole in the wall.

On the OTHER HAND, it's when you have to bomb the wall right next to a door that is almost never an obvious solution.

Hahaha you must be talking about Level 5... It took me sooooo long to find that... If you look at it again... notice the block in the other room that stops you, and it becomes a little more obvious, but still, this is why DFW is a genious 😊

Not at all.

I'm still stuck on Level 2 since I can find the second key (but because the blocks surrounding it don't move and I can't get it) and I don't have a weapon to will trigger the obilisk-switches.

But yeah..just noticed the bombable wall and went through...and it did me absolutely no good. I still can't get the second key to get the lantern to light the torches...

Honestly, a game has never made me feel so inept.

If your using speedbomb's map, (because Level 2 isn't exactly fresh in my memory...) the 2 keys required for the Lantern are one screen left of the blue lantern room where you were describing that wall earlier, and the other you can get by pushing a block in the room with the 2 on it (1st floor) and then falling through. Be sure to check all jars as well...

The room I was talking about earlier is the first floor to the left of the B staircase (which I can go down, but doens't get me very far).

The room to the left of the lantern room, unfortunately, is where I can open the chest but can't get the key because it's surrounded by blocks.

*check the map and sees the teeny-tiny hole*

SONOFACHICKEN IF FELL FOR IT TWICE!!!! Sweet Jiminy CRICKIT!!!

>_<

Oh... you can't get THAT chest? Hmm.. looks like the only way to it is from the left wall... which is the right wall in the room one screen west... hmm...
...
...
...

yep, bomb it.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. I also had to hear this from my room mate who mocked me for not knowing to bomb the wall even though the map showed a tiny crater there.

But anyway, after I did that I managed to clean up the level in half a heartbeat. Soon I'll be off to find the first entrance to the dark world.

Level 5 Blue Mail Help!!! Why is this so hard to find. I beat the level and opened 1 door on the way to the blue mail. I think I need 1 or 2 keys. There is a room all the way to the left in 3/9 that I have not gone into as well as the room in the middle which i believe is where the blue mail is. where is this hole behind a lantern in 3/9? Please someone tell me where this is b/c I cannot find it. Do I have to bomb somewhere? Does anyone have screen shots of level 5 that can show me? Please help
