Hey Dan.
I'm stuck at the Palace Of Water. I need a key to get past the room with the 3 Dodognos and I can't find one. Can you help?
The 12 Palaces FAQs
Heh, you got fooled by the shallow water. 😊 Just go south from the dodongos.
Ok. How do I get past the lost graveyard? I saw that there's a man who says someone with a birds eye view should help me but it isn't.
There are rock or tree formations to the west of the graveyard area that form 4 arrows to show you how to get through the maze. Use your map to view it. Make sure you visited those screens first.
Yeah, the westernmost "white" area.
Ok. Now I need help clearing level 8.
In the southeast there are blocks you have to push into the X's. Is there a way you can push them in and get inside into the staircase or is that just a red herring?
Hi Dan,
Great quest; I am really enjoying it so far. I'm not too far into it and am having trouble figuring out what to do, however. I have beaten the Forest Dungeon and gotten the sword and blue candle. I've been wandering around, burning things and finding secrets and heart pieces, I've found some shops, and a few other dungeons, but I can't get into any of the dungeons. I'm not sure which I'm supposed to go for next (how can you tell which number the dungeon is?). All of the ones I've found, I cannot get far in as I need a stepladder or something to that effect. The sand dungeon seems to be the only one I could get into if I had a key, but I can't find one (I tried going outside and to the west as somebody said in the thread, no dice!). Any tips or hints for me to figure out what to do? Thanks so much!
Hi Andrea.
Two spaces left of the sand palace there are a bunch of peahats. Kill them all to open a staircase which will give you a key.
Ninkrj: Yes, you can get to that staircase to obtain a key.
Andrea: You can tell the level number by the number of statues on one half of the first room. The sand palace has 2 on the left and 2 on the right. It's Level 2.
Ok I finished level 8 but now I need the silver arrows to continue. where are they?
Actually, the silver arrow is in Level 9. Just make your way through the golden maze in the overworld, and you'll eventually find the entrance to Level 9.
I just beat the quest! great job Dan!
Cool. Did you get all of the heart pieces?
Say Dan Furst, Great Quest! I beat this quest several months ago and never had the chance to say so. I was wondering if you are going to make a remake of this quest? If you like, I can do it for you.
Not quite Dan. I'm missing one heart container.
No, not doing a remake. Honestly, I think it's just fine the way it is.
Maybe I'll make a heart piece map some day. Know, however, that it is possible to obtain exactly 4 heart pieces after collecting each level's item (and maybe the corresponding Palace-of-Treasures-item).
Is the hookshot in level 6? I'm assuming it has to be and I looked through the history of this thread but I'm not having much luck locating the item. I found two keys so far. I'm trying to figure out the clue in that level as well.
The man said, "Don't be fooled by three bats." You must kill said bats and all will become clear.
Also, if you notice, the dungeon is symmetrical about it's vertical centerline.
Yep, I figured that out very shortly after I wrote that question. That always seems to happen.
Now I'm in the Ice Level (7) and I have the boss key, and wand. However I do not have flippers or a mirror sheild yet. Do I need to worry about the magic Wizzrobes? Obviously without a mirror sheild I can't beat them, but do I need to move a block in that room? I just need a hint and roughly where to push a block to get me to the boss. Thanks.
The flippers and magic shield will come later. The block to push is in the southeastern "arm."
So far in level 9 I found the silver arrows and made my way to the southwest corner room (from above). Is there a secret I'm missing to get by? I can see a block that the wand would take care of but I can't seem to get in the room where I can actually shoot it.
I have the whistle but what is the trick invovling that passage in the ground near the river (near the middle of the overworld)? The lens obviously shows something underneath but I thought the whistle would open that up.
Finally, are there any other levels to revisit in order to access stuff in the pools with the flippers? I completed level 8 so I did go to level 2 to get the boss key.
Thanks... and this quest has been a lot of fun, I liked the 50 trials (haven't gotten all the way through it yet though).
Nevermind about the level 9 part... duh I must have been too tired the first time I tried that. Still curious about the other stuff though
Is there any way you can post a screenshot of "that passage in the ground near the river"? The river winds everywhere, and I'm not sure what you mean. You could also give me a coordinate number of the screen.
The only palace you have to revisit is Water.
Glad you had fun!
Can someone tell me where the bow is? I'm in lv3 and can't seem to find it but think I need it here. I asked this a long time ago but deleted the pm.
The bow is in level 4 (fire). In level 3 (water), you are looking for the raft.
Sorry, I meant to say I was in lv4 but need the bow which I can't find. I keep going to the same rooms over and over (like the upper ones😉
At the first branch after the "fuse" part, you need to go left to get a key, then go down. Here you will do a little loop on the right side to get a key. From the only room with 4 doors, go left, down, left, up. It is inside of the "diamond" of blocks. There is a timed battle w/ the goriya statues, so you must complete it in under 20 seconds to advance.
I hate to say it but I give up. I'm stuck in lv8 in the room with the death knights and like like. I read the posts on how to get past this but haven't had any luck and am tired of starting over in the dungeon. I did have fun but now it's just a little bit too hard. Maybe that's why I quit last time. If you ever make another quest I will be happy to play it.
Hm. All you have to do is walk into the Like Like. Link will be invulnerable until he is warped out by the Goriya statues, so no fighting is involved at all.
Yeah, maybe there could have been a guy with a hint for that.
Oh well! It's a mystery.
