You should not try to kill the Death Knights in the top right corner of the Palace of Mysteries. Look at the objects in the room, the enemies, and their placement. You can pass that room without using any items/sword/pushing.
Neither the gold ring nor the mirror shield are accessible to you yet. The gold ring would be next, though.

There are 2 ways to kill the mirror wizzrobes without the mirror shield. Both ways involve the use of the 4 way prisms. One is to get the wizzrobes to fire at you and hit one of the prisms, starting a cycle of death in the room. This is the fast way to kill them. The slower way is to fire a wand shot of your own into the prisms, and let them pummel the wizzrobes that way. The wand shot doesn't do nearly as much damage as the wizzrobe magic does though.
It's fun to try and get the wizzrobe shot to work though, pretty tough, cause they don't fire unless they are on the same line as you. :evil:
Re: Level 9
I got to the very end and the last room before Ganon (I suppose) won't open. I must have missed the boss key in Level 9. Can someone help me find it?
There is also the underground cave with the wind wizzrobes that has the same looking door that won't open.
Please help.
Those doors are boss key doors. I used a color scheme that unfortunately did not show the normal level of detail for these doors. For the underground area, the boss key is in a room that is not on the map. In level 9, you have to go back to a room you had been to before and use the silver arrow.

I'm having trouble accessing the mirror shield in the palace of mysteries. I use the wand to move the block but the shield disappears. and there is no way to access the blocked off areas. Help
Are you talking about the lens hint that shows the mirror shield? That just means you need to use reflected magic to activate the secret. The mirror shield is not found in the Palace of Mysteries.
Played out the quest. Well done Dan. Have had some help with a few puzzles but found out the most my self. A very interesting quest and all the time kept me busy finding out the right way. The last palace in the clouds is very good.

Thanks for your comments!
I, too, enjoyed the quest. There were a few things that I would never have solved if not for help. It was a good blend of puzzles and fighting difficulty.
You deserve a break, Dan, but I hope you'll consider entertaining us with your quest-making skills in the future.

This quest took only 3 weeks to make! I don't deserve a break just yet!
Well, if you read back several posts, I'm a sort of "consultant" for my brother's game, which is coming along as we speak. I'm also in a Video Game Development class at Case Western Reserve University (Virtual Worlds Lab ). My team is making a computer game, and the genre we chose is puzzle/adventure. So I've got plenty to do. 😊

I happen to know for a fact that anybody who says they got past the Palace of Mysteries is LYING! It is 100% IMPOSSIBLE to complete. This CANNOT be refuted; it is absolute TRUTH! I have used the Lens of Truth in all of the rooms that are actually accessible, and it reveals NO way to proceed AT ALL! The farthest one can EVER get in the Palace of Mysteries is the two rooms one can reach by bombing the north and west walls in the room with spikes and conveyors. I have tried to push EVERY block in EVERY room up to this point, to no avail WHATSOEVER! So STOP LYING ABOUT HOW YOU GOT PAST THE PALACE OF MYSTERIES, BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T! NOBODY CAN! THIS QUEST (the rest is mostly illegible, but what can be made out can best be summed up as "random mindless swearing)!!!!11!!one!!!!eleven!!!
😊 It is obvious that you did NOT, in fact, push all of the blocks in the room north of the conveyors/spikes room. As a warning, this is the Palace of Mysteries, so be prepared to think outside the box. So push a block you'd most unlikely think to push in the room north of the conveyors/spikes room.
You're up for an excellent dungeon. 😊
If you're talking about the blocks in the corners, they can't be pushed, as they're in the CORNERS. Don't be stupid!
(goes to push the blocks anyway)
Well, son of a gun. It does work. If you'll excuse me for a minute...
(gets back to the dungeon)
😊 Push the corner blocks. 😊 Welcome to the Palace of Mysteries. 😊
Well, I'll be here for the next... hour or so... in case you need help. I'll refresh the page every once in a while.
Please don't be offended, Mad Steve, but that was pretty funny 😃
Hopefully this dungeon won't make you too frustrated. The two goals I had in mind while designing this dungeon were to trick you into thinking the dungeon is impossible, and to provide red herrings so that you need to pretty much try everything. I thought it was a refreshing change from the enemy-laden previous dungeons.
Please post any other problems you run into, I'm happy to help.
Dan
Please don't be offended, Mad Steve, but that was pretty funny. 😃
Yeah, that was pretty much the idea. Vent frustration, ask for help, get a laugh out of people, all in one post.
That last battle in the quest most definitely could NOT have been done on the original NES. WAY too much fire!
Pretty intense, but with the gold ring and the Master Sword, I was able to basically just go berserk and kill the poor thing. All it ever wanted to do was reduce me to an unrecognizable pile of ashes. Why did I have to be so mean to it?! :goofy:
The ocarina?
Where ?, what level?

The whistle is not in any level; instead, it is in the 30th room of the Palace of 50 Trials.
Having a great time with this quest, but i'm a little confused. I finished level 8, but didn't get the mirror shield. Is it in this level? If so can someone tell me the path to find it because i circled the level numerous times and couldn't find it

No, the Mirror Shield is in the next level. Make your way to the southwest area of the overworld and you will find your way to the next area.

Actually, don't be alarmed to find that you haven't found the Mirror Shield when defeating Ganon. A little storyline twist. 😉
I loved the game so far, but now I'm stuck. I've read every thread on here and looked at each clue, but I still don't understand how to find level 5. Where is the maze path screen and what do you see when you look at the white area on the map?
Mdambra: Make sure you explore as much of the area with white rocks as possible and then look at the map (hit your map button). You should see something fairly obvious on the map in the white rock area. Use what you see when you find the maze screen in the graveyard.
How do you get to the area with the white rocks? I've gone through the first four levels, and I'm pretty sure I got all the items in each one. I have the bow, raft, and ladder. Do you need the hookshot or the hammer to get to the white area? If so, where do you find them?
(BTW, I'm the [younger] brother to the maker of this quest, which explains why I have been helping people out often in this thread.)
Use an arrow on the statue that is on the bridge that goes across the large river in the overworld. This bridge is on the south-most part of the river. Simply go north a few screens to an entrance to a dungeon. Don't go in it (there is nothing you can do). Instead, use the ladder to touch an Armos to continue north. You can't miss it from here. 😉
oh man! I didn't realize that you had to come at the statue from the side. I had tried running into them from the bottom to get them to come to life. you guys should change that so they come to life no matter where you touch them, like the other statues.
Yeah but why would you try to touch an armos from below unless you had to. Touching an armos from the bottom will damage you. Always find a way to approach from the side.
True, that is rather stupid. Armos Statues and graves have always brought the hurt when you touch the front of them... They really shouldn't.
Have just started to play ..got the boomerang and have roamed around...could anyone please help where i could find the wooden sword..thanks
You'll have to enter the first dungeon! Note that if you want four hearts, you can actually obtain four heart pieces before starting level 1.
