Hidden Duality: Directors Cut Help Thread

That is a 50 rupee chest you must come back with the flippers to acquire. You can safely ignore that room.

Thanks dark flame, that saved me so time and frustration. I past that and went around in the third enterance and found the master key. I also found out that i needed to go back in the main enterance with the hammer/mallet (whatever) to get another key. this gave me access to the stairs leading to the bottom floor.... however when i get down there I still need one more key.... anyone have a clue where to, or what enterance to go into to get to the last key... I figured you guys might because in this level you have to go through each section before you get the tools to get to the next section.. Any ideas... i'm stumpt....

ok i was sulking. Whats the trick to kill the black mages fast?

I must say DarkFlameWolf you can make a mean game.

Well, those black mages are mirrorobes. Which means that the mirror shield is the ONLY way to kill those bastards. So bring that and three blows of their own magic can terminate them. Also, if you want another massive quest of mine to play after this: try Isle of the Winds. Its not as hard as HD: DC, but it is just as big.

Dark flame (or anyone else) sorry to post the same thing again, but I wasnt sure if you saw my question up above. I could really use the help with finding that last level 7 silver key. If you could at least point me in the right direction (i.e which enterance to level 7 to go into)

Also do you need the level 3 bracer to access the boss on the mirror house (the house in the village that you bomb to access)? If not then how do you get past that stone?

Well, those black mages are mirrorobes. Which means that the mirror shield is the ONLY way to kill those bastards

Maleficent>> If you hit those black mages with one red bomb they will die right away. Only problem is that they cost 25 apiece. But If you drop it near them as they appear then it will kill them and any bats in the area

The Magic Sword and Hammer work just as well without wasting anything... 4 hits kills a bat wizzrobe, and a bat in one... try that instead of using all your super bombs.

As for the question about the Mirror House... I don't know what stone you're talking about, could you be more specific? I'm pretty sure that dungeon is beatable after getting the hook-shot in level 6.

the stone that I cant move in the mirro house is right in front of the door leading to the boss. I went all around that level and I cant figure out how to get into the boss room. I have the boss key. I see a mark on the floor just outside of the boos room (on the other side of the stone I cant move), that seems to be a way to warp into there.. I just cant figure out a warp that leads there. Any ideas???

Start by bombing the left wall at the entrance to the MIrror House. That should lead you on the right track. 😊

Thanks DarkFlame. That worked and I got the fire boomerang. I have one more problem (alot more than one but this involves this game). I still cant find the last silver key that you can use to open the door on 1/2 in level 7. I know it's hard to figure that kind of thing out, but maybe you can help. So far I have not gotten a silver key by going into the third enterance from the outside into level seven (the enterance that you need the mallet for) I got on in each of the other enterances. Any ideas?? At least any ideas of which enterance to look in.

DarkFlame I want to say that this has been the HARDEST Game I have quite possibly ever played in my life. I just beat Hidden Duality last night. At first I was ripping my own hair out! Then after I just started mapping things out on pen and paper (and yes even the over world) things got easier to find, however I won't ruin the game for others by telling them how I beat the game, but I'm very certain I got everything the master sword and alot of the other things.

Let me say one thing to the other people playing this game, a walkthrough will NOT help you in the least *lol* Sure it'll tell you where to go to get things and how to get through dungeons but the only thing I will say to give away this game is that at the end I had died with my character a total of 239 times before I beat the game. There is a challenge of actual gaming skill in this game as well.

heh, I usually get zero deaths on this game, and that is NOT restarting and continuing with F6. That and I know where everything is and I usually get it first before I head into a hard area.
As for level 7, good lord, I have absolutely no idea. The main entrance, try that and see what things you can unlock using JUST THE HAMMER. Only go in areas that require the hammer to access. I'm sure you've passed a few. As for the hammer pound entrance, I believe there is one key in a bombable wall route off to the side. And the third key........one of the other entrances that REQUIRES some hammer pounding once you get inside the dungeon those ways.

EDIT: Also Saffryn, try out Isle of the Winds if you want another long-ass quest adventure. Its just about as long as HD: DC and almost as hard. (but not quite)

Thanks Alot Darkflame. I'll keep pounding away. Great quest

Finally finished level 7... on to level 8. I went exploring first and found a place that gives me questions... I found a clearing in northern area of the light world that has 5 trees. One shped like fire, one questions mark, another a tornado, one just a brown tree and so on. If i use my lens of truth I can see two warps in the center of the trees.. HOW DO YOU ACTIVATE THEM??

There is a tip dude near level 2 in a cave that gives you info on three dungeon locations that contain the Fire Boomerang, Mirror Shield and Red Mail. There is a second tip dude in the dark world swamp under a rock that gives you info on two more dungeon locations containing the Master Sword and Master Key. His third and final tip gives you a clue what to do with those trees. Like most subtle puzzles, pay attention to your surroundings. 😊

Help: I have no idea where to go to find the third dungeon

Just south of level 2 is the warp under a bombable rock. But to get there, go right from level 2, and down. Burn a bush and head left. Bomb the rock and enter the dark world for the FIRST time. Explore southeast from there to find the entrance to the desert and level 3.

Whoa, that's a lot of steps, I'll have to alt+tab a lot, oh well. At least the minimize game glitch is only in 2.10

Thanks 😃

HELLO ALL. I'm stuck on level 8 and have been for two weeks now. I have gotten the item that lets you see the guys that were invisible before. But that's as far as I can get. I need a key (I think) to get farther. I got the key that is in the room one screen left and one up from the beginning of the level. Any hELP>>>

The item you need to swim is in the north-eastern part of level 8. There could be a key somewhere in the eastern part of the dungeon, but I don't remember the details. It was a couple of months since I completed HD. I do remember that I thought level 8 was one of the easier levels in the whole game so it should not be too complicated.

Both keys needed to reach the boss and the flippers are in two rooms in the lower right of the second floor.

DARk FLAME, All the paths that i can take right now without a key lead to two rooms. One is a room that closes behind you and has four spike blocks moving back and forth and a few monsters, at the far side of the room is a chest with a key, but there are 3 dark blue blocks that I cant move/bomb to get past, how do i get that key?? the other room closes behind you and is filled with the spike blocks that move when you get in their path, it also has moveable blocks that you have to move to re-open the door to leave, but that seems to be all that's in this room, am I missing something here??

Im stuck in 7... ive been through all 3 port tiles you can get to from the beggining but cant find the 2nd key.

I can get to a room that looks like you can hookshot across, but has dark blocks that block the hookshot. The mirror shows that the blocks go away but i cant figure out how. 😞

ive been trying to figure it out myself but i just keep walking in circles,Literaly via port tiles back to the entrance.

I'm sorry if this was asked before,but I can't find the White Sword. I'm at Level 3 now.

Maleficent... try finding another way into Level 7, there are multiple entrances.

And Mystical, You need to complete most of Level 3 to get to the White Sword. The white Sword itself is in the desert, but you'll need an item from Level 3 to get it.

Okay,gotcha. Guess I'll have to face off against those nasty Wizzrobes with the cr***y wooden sword then. :lol:

EDIT: I've got the wand and ocarina,but I can't find the power bracer. There's a place where I can shoot the wand into a hole and a closed-off area changes from sand to normal floor,but I can't push the blocks away. Is there another way there?

EDIT 2: Nevermind,I figured it out from an older help thread,when the author answered someone else's question. Off to level 4 now.

HEY DARK FLAME, Just wondering if you had an idea of how to solve my problem (it's 3 or 4 posts above this one). I am really stuck and I have been on level 8 for about 3 weeks now. I know other people said this level was easy but I am seriouly stumped right now. Im sure that it is sonething simple that I am missing but I want a hand so I can finish this and start isle of winds 😊 😊 😊 😃 😃 😃 PLEASE HELP!! 😮dd:

FFKAP, that room with the spikes had me stumped for a little while as well. Use your Hammer on those dark blocks. That should also help you be able to solve the difficult block puzzle on the lower left side (which leads to the 2nd key).

Mystical, Those blocks can't be pushed, however you can get in from the room to the right... I'll leave this one up to you lol.
