THanks for the help dolem. One more question.. I found out where the magic sword is but it will not let me have it. He says take this if you think your strong enough, but then i cannot get the sword. any ideas???

well, there is a shop just west of Dali with a mermaid statue nearby. Have you tried using your wand on that mermaid? Furthermore, if you already passed level 6, you can use your hookshot to get to a northern middle portion of the dark world to find a house you must super bomb to enter and claim the BIG money bag.

OK, I've been stuck for awhle now, haven't found the blue lanten or the magical boomarang. I've bombed and checked every room, found the hole behind the lanten. I think I might have a bug. The one room that has a hole to the bottom floor, but has blocks blocking the hole. Theres a switch, but nothing I do activates it. Please help!

Hi, I am stuck in level 7. I have gotten one key, the map and the compass. I found a second entrance, where I got the key after fighting the mini-boss. I used the key to open a door on the left side of the map, far left bottom room. Now I am stuck at trying to find the another key or any of the items. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

@earthbound: That switch requires the magic boomerang, never fear, it isn't a bug.
@dolem: If you found the key using the second entrance, trying going through the main entrance and finding the second key that way.

Hmm....so I need the magical boomarang. Well I guess I should ask how to get the lanten, I'm sure I'd be fine once I found that. Thanks in advance.

OKay... I'm going to feel super stupid for asking... But I'm actually having a super amount of problems with Level 1 *lol* I've looked all through this forum first and ALL over the internet to get help with it before asking.

I've got the boomerang, I've gotten numerous keys as well. There seems to be some rooms that are giving me problems...

One in particular, There is a room with a treasure chest and there is like a one eyed statue in there... I've tried pushing blocks, hitting things with my boomerang and everything how do I get that box?

You need the bow and arrows. Buy arrows first at a shop. There is a cheap shop selling arrows for 35 rupees. Find that shop! And the bow is in level 1. You'll need two keys to reach the bow. As for the lantern, I kinda forgot how to get it. Let me get back to you! lol

Hehe, ok. Well I noticed at the top of the map or level 2 theres a room with a chest, but has water blocking it. Theres a brown hole that looks like it can be hit with something. Arrows don't work, but I was guessing that might be the lantern, or it could be an extra chest like the first level where it looks like yiu need the lantern. Maybe that will remind you how to get it, lol. Thanks!

Im stuck in 5, I havee the red candle, and the ladder. I have the boss key and know where the door is to use it, i also have a regular key. I Just cant seem to find the blue mail. any help is much apriciated.

And i must say this is a awsome quest 😃 , i look forward to playing others you have made when i get to the end.

yeah i actually beat the boss, and got the key past the invisable wall ice room (man that one was a pain 😮dd: ) Ive got to the place where you shoot the statue and turn of the spikes to make the block move to get to the locked door (and from other rooms i can tell the door is to a little square room that i have to bomb and fall down) but ive ran out of keys 😞 im doing the hard thing of room by room search for places to blow down walls and look for the key i missed. :shrug:

good luck with that Malificient, because I have honestly no recollection of level 5 of HD😃C. And I made the damn thing! O_o

As for Earthbound, I have no recollection either, but I do believe one key is in a chest in plain sight on floor 2/2 where you must bomb inbetween two doors to get the key. The other key is like.....also on the second floor......I think. To get to the lantern, you must fall down via the path behind the torch.

Well I checked every where, and I still can't find that lantern. So I'm just gonna start over, I think I must have done something wrong. Oh well wasn't very far anyway. Thanks!

DarkFlameWolf wrote:well the concept behind the huge, backtracking dungeons in HD was this: Back in the day of the original Zelda, I remember when I used to actually draw out maps of the dungeons and how to get through each room. I was hoping that people would have to resort to this pencil and paper method to solving dungeons. But apparently not. There is always a certain mysticism about making maps and figuring it out on your own through your own notes.

I got kind of a late start begining HD than everyone else cause I just found ZC recently.

However I will suggest to everyone that this piece of advice by DFW is the best advise ever and actually works VERY VERY well with her dungeons. 😉 wish that strategy worked half as well for finding stuff around the over world but I have neither the patience nor the time to map out that entire bloody thing...

Although I'll admit I'm not stuck looking for Level 4 in the dark world... I'm not looking tooo amazingly hard right now I'm doing alot of surveying the area.

I have a question though, I noticed they were selling a wand for "380" rupies... Is there something in the game that allows you to carry more than 255 rupies later on?

yeah, there is a lady that sells a bag to you that doubles your holding.... but by the time you get to her you will have found a wand and wont have to buy it 😊


oh and im still stuck looking for the mail in 5.... i hae used probobly 30+ bombs walking around the walls looking 😞

Hello All.. Im going to search the forum again but cna anyone tell me how to find level 7. Also I found a cave that has a bunch of bats in it and four ways to go... but it's a maze and you have to know what combination of ways to go to get there. Anyone know what that is all about? Last question.. I went south of dali and blew the whistle on the whistle symbol that is located south and east of dali. it led to a place where you had to kill mosters in a room to open the next of four doors.. eventually it led a a heart piece and warped me back to the enterance... is that all that is in this place???

Yes, that was all there is in that place. There are five mini-dungeons in HD😃C where the ultimate prize is a HC Piece. That maze cave is but one of the five mini-dungeons.

Could anyone help me find Dungeon #4? I feel soo pathetic I can't find it I've gone every where

😞

Saffryn.. Level 4 is located in the Southwestern region of Dark Galea. To reach it, you must head West from where you first reach Dark Galea. If you places where you need the whistle and bracelet, you're going the right way. Head toward the swamp.

As for KKFAP... Level 7 is also in the swamp... You must approach it from Dark Galea. Head as far south as possible left of the desert, and you should be able to use your hook-shot somewhere. After that you'll find a warp to the light version of the swamp.

still in lvl 5 trying to get a key to open the door to the blue mail.Iive been through every room and bombed about every place imaginable but still cant find that last key to open the door in the room with the statue and spikes. i have opened every chest, and found several coin rooms, and this room Below. Is this room one your suposed to come back to with a hookshot or is another way across? Ive even looked all over the upper floors for places to drop down but no luck.

yes, that is a 'come-back' room with the hookshot to snag 50 rupees. So you can safely ignore that room.
As for the missing key, there are three routes in level 5 that all lead to a dead-end. The first route leads to the Red Lantern dead-end. The second route leads to the Ladder dead-end. The third route leads past the Blue Mail to the boss dead-end. These paths will cross, but you CANNOT cross inbetween the two paths except at one early point in paths 2 and 3. So once you got this in mind, the level becomes extremely simple. (I should hope) So there is one extra key for you to get on the LADDER path quite early in that path where you must utilize the LADDER itself to get the key. And then there should be two keys down the BOSS path along with the boss key itself. So that should narrow down your search a lot! Hope this helped. Because that's basically all I can remember without playing it myself.

btw, at this point (esp. if you acquire the ladder) you should have two extra magic container extenders by this point to your magic meter.

Hrm... I thought I've mapped nearly all of Dark Galea... okay I'll have to try that again thanks I may ask again heh

i found it!!! tricky little devil you are!! There is no telling how many times i had been in that room before, the one with the bomb a hole in the floor hidden from view by a fire pit lantern thingy. tricky trickster i say!!

Yes, straight from the get-go in level 2. ANY TIME YOU SEE A LANTERN YOU CAN WALK BEHIND, THERE IS SOMETHING THERE!!!!!!!!
Yep, as long as you keep that in mind, you shouldn't have any problems. 😊

Hello again, still banging away at level 7. I've gotten to the third level seven access (from outside) using the mallet; but Im stuck on something. I found a area that i bombed to get to and in that room there is a treasure chest (probably a key) and 3 dark wizrobes or whatever their called. I cant access the chest because there is a stretch of water between me and it. I tried killing all of the wizrobes but that didnt do anything that I could tell. Could someone help me out??? how do i get the last set of keys.
