Okay, I can try it again. Will I be able to finish without my shield?

Duh, I got it after I tried it again. I also got a key and went into the room next to the one with the blue bubble and the red one that takes away all your items except sword. I need my "stuff" in this room, especially the wand I think. There is a really fast octorok in the corner and wall master. How do I beat this room?

Actually the same as post #211. He said it much better than I did.

You need to align the mirrors so that, when the Octorock shoots, the shot gets reflected onto the brick wall.

Maybe not too many tricks but very very hard. I still can't find the mirror shield. Sure could use it. Have had to use so many potions that I have to keep leaving and going back. Why put the mirror shield in if it's so hard to find and it's an item you really really need, at least I do.🙄 Have been by the boss room where you have tons of enemies that I just can't get past. Bet it's thru the door on the right.

You will get the mirror shield, but not when you expect it.

What I'm saying is, don't worry if you can't seem to find it. You absolutely can't miss it.

Edit: What sword and ring do you have?

I finally beat this quest!!!!!!!! Wow, those robes in the palace in the clouds was tough but I did it. This is a great quest although a bit harder than I normally do. Had a lot of hours of fun. The help you gave was terrific. Thanks for making it.

I'm stuck in the Ice Palace - Level 7. I've been in all 4 arms and in every room except the Boss room. I have the boss key. First, should i have the whistle at this point to kill the (not sure what their names are) big floating circles?

Second - in the room where the boss door is, I see a block than looks like it can be moved. this is the room that also shows a diamond on the left wall. Nothing I do seems to allow me to push any of the block and I can't seem to get into this room from the other side. How do I get to the Boss Door. I have the wand, magic mirror, blue gloves and I think everything before this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind - I figured it out - Now on to Level 8

This quest is the bomb! I usually judge a quest on whether or not I'd play it again and I'm about to give it another go (I have the flu therefore I have time on my hands). This quest forces you to think and be creative and sometimes that's much better than spending hours looking for a level or facing a room full of blue darknuts with a crappy sword.

I got a kick out of this quest because the first three levels were teasers and then its like, "Oh we were just kidding, now we're gonna get serious!"

Dan, I'll PM you regarding the secret passages in the ground (the lens locates them but I can't get in there). I'll send you the coordinates when I have a chance. Thanks.

About your private message: bomb!!

The cross lets you see invisible enemies. I honestly don't remember where I put invisible enemies, I think maybe level 7 or something.

Dan - great quest, I've really enjoyed it! I've gotten through level 8, but am a little puzzled by one of the below ground levels. There is one in the upper left quadrant that you can only access once you get the flippers. There is a shop to by "big bombs" from. I've gotten through to the last door, but can't figure out what I need to open it. Please advise. Thanks!

Awesome quest, Dan! Thanks for the couple hours of fun. Well done!

great quest, finished it today in about 9 hours with 4 deaths. the palace of mysteries was the most fun i have had in a long time. Where is the blue ring; i never found it just found the red ring. whoops😃

I have a question about this quest. I am in the Shadow Palace and have yet to find a shield. I have gone all this way without a shield or any potion. Can someone tell me where to find both of them?

Thanks

Hi Bobbie. Once you acquire the hammer, you can buy a shield and potions! There is a cave in the desert near level 2 that is surrounded by hammer posts. They sell the shield and potions there.

However, you could have gotten potions ever since finding the raft! From the southern end of the river-rafting trip, go left, up, up, up, up, left, up. You can bomb a wall here to get the letter. The man tells you where to find the woman who sells (much cheaper) potions. She lives in an open cave.

Dan

Thanks Dan

I had already found the map and gotten potions and I got the blue ring. That sure did make it easier to get the hammer. I will go and buy a shield now and I'l be all set to do more of the quest. I am having fun. Thank you for the great quest! I am enjoying it very much. I played both of your brother's quests also. You are both very good quest makers. 😊

Many of the puzzles that you may consider to be "good" in LttH were likely made by Dan, anyway. :blah:

Excellent puzzles in all 3 quests!

Which way to the palace after the Shadow palace. I can't find it?

From the overworld entrance of Level 5, head left, up, left, down, left (you are now in the graveyard maze screen), left, up, up, left, left, left, and left. Use the hammer on the hammer posts, and the entrance to Level 6 is only a few screens away. Of course, before entering the dungeon, you likely have a little business to take care of (e.g., Palace of Treasures).

I am at the end of Level 8 and can't find my way to the get the Boss key. I am in the room with the water warp and Boss key and I went to the other room and warped in the water and got a key. I thought it would be the Boss key but I am at the Boss room door and don't have the key. How do I get into the right warp that takes me to the Boss key that I am on the other side of that room now?

What other palace do I need to go that is connected with Level 8?

The man says Level 8 is connected to another palace, and then asks you what item you just got. Hint: It's a water warp. 😊

Well, I realized that it is a water warp, I just can't find where at?

I really don't want to have to go back through every Palace to look for a water warp. I have already gone back through Levels 7 & 6. Could you PM me and tell me where the water warp is at please?

I found it. Thank you

Uggg, I'm completely stuck without a key in level 8. I got the flippers, the boss key and the water warp key, but just need one more to get into the room with the lock block and locked door, I unlocked the block but am short a key for the door. I think I've been in every room but can't find one. There is one room where there's water to swim across to get to the other side, and the room has a small square spike floor and a larger spike floor to the left of the smaller one. Is there something I do in there? Also, I made it almost all the way thru the 50 Trials, on the last row of rooms down after defeating the sword shooting darknut. I went to the room below where the fairy was and I got stuck right as I got thru the door, I couldn't move so I had to save and quit. I'm just wondering if I have to finish the 50 trials to finish the game? If I can't find this stupid key in level 8 then I'll have to get 900 some bucks to buy a key ...........................:scared::scared:
