Hidden Duality: Directors Cut Help Thread

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

After you clear Lvl 2, you exit the dungeon & go Right where you will see the Lvl 2 Triforce Mark, then go Down and you need to burn a green mushroom/bush (whatever you call that). Then go Left, slash the bush/flower (whatever you call that) & enter the Warp. Presto, you're in Dark Galea...which is the duality world of Galea.

Thanks DarkFlameWolf that was it. Cepat, thanks for your help too.

By the way DarkFlameWolf, this game is really awesome. My fiancee also loves it as well.

I only need one more!!! So here's what I've gotten in the way of heart pieces so far...2 in the Dark Galea caves, 1 in the light Galea caves, 5 from mini-levels, and all the visible heart pieces from Dark and Light Galea...Any ideas?

well, let's see, there is one more in Light Galea caves and if you got 5 from mini-levels, then there is just one more heart on the overworlds.

Ummm...you were right Darkflamewolf that last mini-level is hard...How do you hit the second bug thing (the final boss)..the first one I could hit with the sword and the second I tried everything but a red bomb and nothing worked...do you need to reflect the fireballs at it or something?

And on the subject of the hearts...I actually did get the 2 from both sets of caves, I am working on the fifth piece in the last mini-level but i'll still be short one piece...Is there one near either Death Mt Fortress or Master Dome? I'm 99% sure that i've gotten all the ones in both worlds...How many total are there (pieces) for the light overworld and dark overworld? I even went back through the mini-levels to make sure I didn;t die and forget to save or something...I'm assuming that there are no heart pieces in either the Master Dome or Death Mt Fortress...I feel like I'm missing something that should be obvious but I've spent 10+ hours trying to find this last heart piece and its driving me nuts...does anyone have a listing of the locations for the heart pieces in the overworlds?

Cheers,
Ben 😃

Five questions.

1: I can't find that mini-dungeon you (DFW) described the way to. North Dalia, one west there ain't any burnable bushes there. Can you bemore specific so I atleast know if I have been there yet or not. [Solved]

2: Are there graphic bugs in Master dome? When I head left of right from the third room the whole room seem gone and the monsters are just colored dots moving around, like myself and you can't see anything in the room itself.. When I actually manage to get out Im invisible. Even if the graphics are ok. It seem only to be those two rooms but it stops me from progressing. Also is there a heartpiece in master dome?
[Solved]

3: I can't seem to get that heart piece just east of the warp to lvl 9, the different trees. When I go there in dark world I see a ladder and the warp but I just can't activate it and get rid of that skull. Hints? [Solved, thanks DFW]

4: I noticed a stone, those dark stones that looks like the number 8 that had something hidden. I can't seem to get it away and I don't recall exactly where it is either 😊 Any hints?
[Solved, silver arrow gave me 5 rupes]

5: Where do you get the silver and fire arrow? [Solved]

Thanks in advance.

1) Try the next screen over to the left. Its one of those two screens.
2) No bugs, that's intentional, its simply there to make it harder on you. Invisible Link flags are on in certain rooms and other rooms, the ceiling is covering the action playing area.
3) Try using a silver arrow.
4) I don't recall exactly what you're talking about either.
5) Silver arrow is in the ice palace in the far upper left of the light world. The Fire arrow is in the last, final, absolute area of the game, not really needed, but its there.

I figured out that it was a bug on the boss I couldn't hit...Still lost on the heart piece though...

I meant to post this as an edit....

I noticed that bug aswell, pretty frustrating because it takes a while to reach that point in the dungeon. I think the problem is that one his little puppets has flew outside the screen and until he is dead you can kill him. Any other suggestions?

[Edit the post a bit.]

Do I really need to reload the savegame in 183? What is really the benefits of 184 if all it gives us is bugs?

Tried everything and wasted a few hours of my life trying to figure out how to kill that last one.

no benefits other than fixing that spacebar map bug on the overworld and a few other things. But for the most part, beta 183 is the better of the two betas and the one I still use and make quests for. Screw beta 184. :P

Im now in the same nice position as BFG75. I have 15 3/4 heart pieces. I have been everywhere, burnt all bushes, used my truth-lense everywhere and been in all rooms in caverns. I have completed all the mini-dungeons.

Somewhere along the road I have missed a heart piece apparently.

What are the 5 mini-dungeons exactly? With mini-dungeon you mean those with "???" on top I assume and not the ones that give you an item. I took the one on the near Dali in dark world talked about earlier. I took the one you use the flute southeast Dali lightworld. The one near lvl 3 with spiders. The one Northeast with the rooms that looks like they open up one more all the time. I did the mazecave. Did I miss something?

If not, what tricky heart pieces are out there? what do you normally miss. What did everyone else miss along the road etc etc. Any hints help. Because it hurts my symmetric mind to not have all heart pieces.

well I've acquired all 16 heart pieces in this quest, so all the pieces ARE there. I believe it may be one you're missing that requires you to travel between worlds to get at it.

Do you mean via a warp? Seems like I've looked everywhere in both worlds for a warp but have had no luck finding any new ones. I have no idea where another heart piece could be since there are none visible, I;ve gotten (Thain too I'm assuming) the 4 total pieces from the light and dark caves and the 5 total pieces from the mini-levels (the levels with ??? at the top)...no clue..great quest though.... any ideas? 😊

okay, in the upper right of the dark world, there is a section, you can swim across near the cave entrance to reach this area, and under a bush is a warp to the light world and a heart piece. If not that, there is another missed one just at the far right end of the snowy mountains. You swim across a river to the place and inbetween some trees to get the heart piece. Can't think of any other hard ones.

Taken both of them. Double checked the caves in both light and dark world. Checked the overworlds. Think I found all of your secrets now. You talked about 6 mini-dungeons? Where is the last one except those 5 I mentioned earlier that I have beaten.

Hey Thain, I found the final heart piece and I think it may be the one you're missing too...I'm not all that good at giving directions but I'll try to describe the general vicinity...From the Ice level (I forget the level number, 6 maybe?) you would go down the long ladder from where the three mummies are...from there go to the right in the mountains until you reach the green area again...now once in the green area with the turtle guys who throw bones go as far south as you can...then go to the right of the screen and you should see one of those stumps you need the hammer for...you will be approaching it from the left and its the only one you approach from the left in the light world I think...Anyway, pound down the stump and then there is a warp to the dark world and a heart piece is hidden (barely visible) on the left of the screen near the warp back to the light world. I feel really stupid that i missed this one...hope this is the one you're missing too... 😃

Holy crap.. it was that one. My eternal blessings to you BFG75. Now I can start the 25 key hunt.

And it you meant lvl 5 😊

I have finally beaten this quest. You have taken 41 hours of my life. That is pretty much for a custom quest. I never completed the master dome because when I finally had the 25 keys I felt it pretty unnecessary to get the master key.

Good work and plenty of fun in your quest. A few bugs here and there but nothing huge except when I died at Gannon I ended up somewhere else. Forgot to tell the quest where I shall go when I die in that room.

I just checked, I did tell it where to go if you died. I guess its just another bug in the continue system of ZC.

Oh and the Master Dome is unnecessary, in every quest I've made. You don't have to complete it to beat or acquire anything in the quest other than the master key. So the only reason you would want to try on the Master Dome is for a optional challenge. Nothing more, nothing less.

This quest is so good... and yet so bad...

Anyways, I think I have everything I need to beat level 3, (the boss key and the final key), but I found this strange room that I can't figure out what it is for. There is a flame on the wall, it is one up from the second entrance:

Anyone know what to do there?

Also, how the heck do you beat the mini dungeon near level 3. It's freaking impossible. Maybe I just have to wait till I have more hearts. I am on the room with three crab dudes and it is so hard.

If you got the Magic Book from Lvl 4, you can return back to this room & aim the Wand Fire at the flame.

The mini-dungeon next to level 3 gives you a heart-piece and it isn't important when you finish it. I did it after level 3 because once you killed all spiders they don't return in that room. But if you have problems, wait.

I can beat that mini-dungeon as soon as you get to it. However, not everyone is as skilled as that, so you may have to come back with more hearts or at least the blue mail. It all depends on your skill.

I just beat the boss in level 4, however, I did not see any magic book dropped, in that room, or the next. The boss dropped one yellow rupee. Can anyone help? According to most of this forum, the boss gives you the magic book, not in my case. Thanks for helping!

O_o
Um...after beating the boss, he isn't supposed to drop anything other than what normal gleeoks drop. Head north into the next room and the magic book should be right there. If not, you may not be playing this in beta 183.
