Hidden Duality: Directors Cut Help Thread

Minor ?: I thought I saw something in this thread about fire(gold) arrows...are they in this quest?

May try out Xtreme Mode in the near future...I think this may qualify me as sadomasochistic...

yes, it does qualify you.
The fire arrows were early on in Ganon's World before you hit the fairy spring and shop area right before the final boss run. If you went that far, you'll have to whistle warp back and find your way back to Ganon's World entry to have a chance at the fire arrows.

Thank you so much -- I thought I was done for, that whistle trick got me back on track. As long as this quest was I didn't want to start from the beggining. Once again you did a splendid job of this quest, thanks DFW

Right now, I've gone through most of your quests. I'm being super challenged by the wolfstyle quest presently in hard mode. I think I should have picked easy... but any questions on that quest I will post in the appropriate disscussion if I have them 😊

man, why does everyone pick hard mode first? It makes no sense! LOLGlad to see quests even as old as HD getting some love on ZC today.

Did finally find those fire arrows...OHCRAPDEATHKNIGHT, I'll leave it at that.

Like I said, may try extreme mode if I'm feeling particularly self-loathing in the near future...

Ever bothered trying Extreme Patrick? Its not impossible, but its best if you have prior knowledge of the quest (ie: Director's Cut) before trying it. Because the knowledge of getting HC Pieces, extra items, sooner will help tremendously.

I did try it and actually got up to the end of Level 4...then I saw the gazillion-headed Gleeok that I had to kill with white sword, no armor, and about eight hearts and said "yeahhhhh, I think I'll pass". :P

How can I only have 6 hearts when I have 4 triforce pieces???? Isn't 3 + 4 equal to 7?? These harder math questions burn my brain,.....give me some Bernoulli Differentials or solids of rotation ....duhhh

Am finally giving Extreme Mode another whirl...the boss rooms of Levels 3 and 4 were particularly headache-inducing. Lanmolas and Wizzrobes are particularly hazardous with no armor and fewer hearts. Did finally make it past that (blank)ing Gleeok in Level 4...now scratching and clawing my way to the ladder in Level 5. If nothing else, I should be able to get the magic sword earlier with the extra hearts in the overworld(found two so far)...should also be able to get the red mail/tunic earlier...

In response to the previous post: Level 4 doesn't have a heart container.

I need help in level 6. From entrance NWWSWNN is a room with two Dodongos and a open path from S to N. The lens shows that the path can be changed from W to E. How do I change the path direction ? - There is a hole on S wall that normally works with he wand but I can�t reach it. You can reach the room by a walkthrough wall from W. I am missing two keys and I know that this path leads to one of them. Is there anybody who can help me ?

that room you speak of must be accessed via another direction. Namely the east and west corridor entrances. You can't change the pathway from the north and south entrances. So give up on that section for now, it'll only cause unneeded headache. One easy key to acquire is from the entrance. Walk through two walls to the right (yes walk through!) to get one key. Another is, if you go up and I 'think' left a few screens to find some stairs leading down, you will need to go right one screen and walk north through two more walls to get to an area where you can get a second key.

Hope this helps. Level 6 is really confusing, I can guarantee that!

Also Patrick, if it helps, try going to the Ice Palace early and brave the invisible enemies and get the golden arrow. Makes those Gohmas much easier. If not, simply skip level 6 for now and come back later after level 7. It seems you got enough items already to find levels 7 and 8. So level 6 can wait. 😊

Yeah, that room was enough of a pain in the original version...if nothing else, playing the original version is going to be ridiculously easy in the future. 😃

One more time on Xtreme Mode...and I'm almost through. WOO~!

I'm just missing ONE overworld heart container...otherwise, I've cleared all eight dungeons and all of the sub-dungeons except the one with the magic key.
