Adventure in Mysteria

65 replies · 10,024 views · Started 29 April 2006

I've been playing this mysteria game by pikaguy900. I can get to level 4, but then I can't find the key to get in. Does anyone know where I can find it. I've found the heart behind level 4 and the 1/2 magic up the waterfall. I've explored the clown level I, but so far nothing. Two spots that might have something are the unmovable rock next to a cave near the area where the magic 2x sword was given. Also there is the area to the side of level 6 where there is a cave, but no way of accessing it. Maybe I need the hammer, 2x bracelet, or flippers. Anyone out there have a clue?

Hmmm... Did you get the most recent version of my quest at PureZC? In that version, I fixed a key AND room problem. There was a room that you couldn't get to from the hallway above level 4. You should be able to now. The hammer is later on after level 6, as are the Power Gloves and Flippers. All that Level I (for item)- Clown Base has to offer is the raft. Good luck on the quest. (And thanks for getting it. I worked hard on it, and I hope you like it so far.)

Sounds like you solved my problem. I wondered about that room. I figured it was there just to be funny! So I went to level 10 and got a key from there... I'm still puzzled about a shop that won't let me walk into it, but I'm sure the updated quest should fix that too... thank you... fun quest 😊

What DMap is the shop at? If it's in Forest Ruins Area, it's just a building like in A Link to the Past in the Dark World. If you've played it all the way, you should remember a building with a treasure chest inside. You don't go IN a building, but more of going under the roof. This building I speak of in my quest is like it, except you get a Piece of Heart instead....

Out of curiousity, did you alpha test your quest? That is, play through it before releasing it? I remember awhile ago that one couldn't obtain the Level 1 Triforce piece because of error. As a matter of fact, that's the version I have.

If that's the version you have, redownload the quest at PureZC! You can get to level 6 there. And I didn't test it ALL the way before I released it. I DID change a few things after testing most parts I had problems with, like the shallow water in level 1 to suit the name of the dungeon. Not counting the shallow water, there's NOTHING in the dungeon to go with the name... So far, the main bugs I've fixed are as follows:
1: Shallow water was normal water.
2: 1st key in Level 4 was in room off the limits of the Dungeon Map.

And that's all I remember. If everything goes well, you can beat the game now!

perfict, the update worked great -- as for the shop I can't enter, it's on my way to level 2, where I have to puch a rock to get to it. I can't get to the back of the shop either... maybe a bomb? Also there is a shop near level one tht has a guy in it that doesn't say anything, but I imagine that's because he needs the letter. Also in the very beggining there is a blinking piece of the heart. Is it just decoration? I pick it up, but it doesn't do anything. In addition, can you help me with level 5, I am quite baffled as to where it might be?

Yep, that building holds only one purpose: To contain one of the Pieces of Heart needed to get the White Sword before Level 3. As for shop #2 at the start of the game, he DOES need the Letter. Do you remember where you got the Power Bracelet? Go there with the Magical Boomerang (somewhere in Level 4) and use it on the skull. Go north to the graveyard (remember this for later, as it holds a secret I will NOT tell you.), then west. There you'll find the Letter. As for Level 5, I will not tell you where it is, but I will tell you how to get on the road to it. Just take your new letter to the Bomb Shop owner (the guy at the start who tells you nothing) and buy a Super Bomb. Next, go to the Forest Ruins Area, at the location you find the Forest Shrine. Use the Magical Boomerang on the boulder at the north of the screen and go to the screen it was guarding. Find your way through the cave of maze (I made that up off trhe top of my head just now), and Super Bomb the wall on the left side of the screen. You are now on the road to Level 5. There are a few bomb upgrades here, as well as a path to the area of Level 8, but that's later. Good Luck.

I've made it to the end... yey! Only one problem. I am in the extra level and I go into the room with the master key. I climb the ladder, but it won't let me access the platform to get the key... do you have any work arounds, if not, do you have a cheat code, so I can enable the key. Also, do you have any pointers as to where the flippers are. I imagine I need to find them to get the five keys to access level 9. In addition I'm baffled as to where the power bracelet #2 might be, which I think is neccisary to obtain the big money bag to get the things from the 999 rupie shop. Thanks -- oh ya, how do I get past level 11... probably the power bracelet #2 right?

I'll look into the Extra Dungeon problem. Are you sure it's Extra Level- Kindle Grave? If so, then ignore it. You only get 3 items from it: Fire Boomerang, Magic Key, and Golden Arrows, all of which are OPTIONAL. As for the Flippers, they're in the area of Levels 9-15. The Power Glove (as I call it) is in Level 9, AFTER you get the 5 Keys from the guardians of Ganon's Stronghold, found in Levels 10-15 (duh.). If you unlock the wrong door in the room of Level 9 with 2 of them, you must go back to the Extra Dungeon and get the Magic Key. So you won't make that mistake (and I AM willing to let EVERYONE know this so they won't HAVE to go to the Extra Dungeon): Unlock these doors: North, North, West, South, West. This will get you to where you find the Power Glove, but if you found the Magic Key, ignore Levels 10-15 unless you want free potions.

EDIT: Oops. THIS is why i hate having two tiles that look alike, but have different walkability settings, near each other. I fixed it (in ZQuest) and will upload in a minute.

Will your updated quest for extra level kendall grave key be at purezc? I think I lost a key in level 8 somehow? So this extra key will be neccisary to advance 😊

Nope, no extra keys. All you need is one key in Kindle Grave to get infinite keys.

Until the quest is updated at PureZC, you can get the new update at:

....I hate typing that.

firelight wrote:thanks for the trouble... you rock! Your game is cool!

Really? Last I saw, it was rated 3 at PureZC. I'm going for at least a 4! But thanks. I worked hard on it , but there are SOME areas I accidentally messed up with the tiles.... It shows....

Oh, and I have a favor to ask. When you beat my quest, please tell me how much you liked the quest, what you'd like me to add/change (I'm redoing the quest in a Pure tileset, so everything will be different except some of the names), what you liked and disliked, and if there should be a sequel. Oh, and any other comments if you have any. Thanks.

I liked the quest because it was a challenge, and yet unlike the demo quest ex, it was beatable (I finally gave up on the bonus dungeon in that game.) This game was both challenging in enemies as well as puzzles. I've played Zelda for a long time, so a good challenge is always welcome. I liked being able to warp to the end of the dungeons once the main item was obtained for each area. Also I liked the unexpected surprises such as the casino area that gave a lot of coins. Also the other numerous places that were unexpected, like the dungeon that the items were hidden by a brick wall (the ghosts clued me in on the fact it was hidden) -- thanks for the effort of designing this. I think once the bugs are worked out, it will be all good... better comments, just look at all the people who have viewd this thread 😊 -- by the way... three questions. One, how do I get past the blasted brick wall in the extra level, right before the boss area and two how do I move the rock next to then #2 sword and the one above level 7. Thanks

I know this sounds stupid, but how do I post a comment at purezc and a rating? One thing that you might be able to change is to allow the lense of truth to see every secret and not just selective secrets... like what item is needed to move things, and invisible walls. I think one quest I played had that feature?

Here's the answers to your questions (numbered in the order you typed them, of course):
1: You need the Silver Arrows. Sorry, but them's the breaks. Why would I let you have the Golden Arrows BEFORE Level 9 (where you get the Silver Arrows)?
2: Oops. I forgot to make the rock one screen to the left of where you get the White Sword movable. Oh well. All you get from the cave is a Piece of Heart, so ignore it. Oh no.... The boulder above Level 7 can't be pushed... Now how will people get the Huge Wallet? I shall fix these problems AT ONCE!
3: I have no idea how you're able to post comments and rate quests. I can't do it, either!

And I WILL NOT turn on the rule "Show Lens Hints". I find that the rule can make quests FAR too easy.

Okay, I fixed the two problems with the boulders. Oh, and I added some extra music in. They're the kind that have to be in the same folder as the quest to work, so I put them in the zip. They're from Kirby's Dream Land 3 (I can't get enough of it, so I have every last piece of music from it). The areas I put them music in are Level 8, the underwater cave, and Level 9. I THINK that's all I did in terms of the music.... Oh well. Enjoy. (And revisit these past areas if you want to hear their new music!)

Oh yeah, and here's the link again in case the other one gives you the old zip:
http://www.geocities.com/pikachu_fan_13/Mysteria.zip

Ah, here's another update. Nothing new, really, except ONE recolored tile and more music from Kirby's Dream Land 3. Yay. The areas with the new music are:
Mt. Frostbite & Frostbite Caverns
And... some other place I forgot about. I think the above 2 are the only ones.
No, wait, I remember now. The other 2 places are Cyber Gem and Gem Caverns (yes, I use the term "Caverns" a lot in this quest).

Tygore wrote:Do you want me to use that link and update the zc.com QDB entry?

Sure. It's probably got a few problems (I will NEVER call them bugs because they are simply things I overlooked, like misplaced rooms and flags I forgot to set) left, but I'd like my quest to be updated ASAP.

New update. I only posted this in a new reply because I'd like people to actually look at this thread. Editing doesn't count for posts, you know...

I went and took a look at the Extra Dungeon, and noticed something TERRIBLE:
I set one of the boss enemies as a Gohma 4. At the time I made the quest, I didn't see a difference between Gohma 3 or 4 (since they were new to me). I figured that Gohmas 3 and 4 were the same as Red and Blue, only stronger and with more stamina. Now, I know that Gohma 3's can only be damaged by Silver Arrows, and Golden Arrows are the only things that can defeat a Gohma 4. Therefore, I changed the Gohma 4 in the Extra Dungeon boss fight (which nets you a Heart Container!) to a Gohma 3. You'll still need the Silver Arrows, though.

I cannot find level 5 at all. I passed level 4. Went into the Forest Ruins Area. Cannot find any shrine. Also, could not find any boulders to use the boomerang one. How do I get to the screen at the start of the entrance (where the heart piece is)?

You're confusing me... The "Shrine" is the name of Level 2, which is Ruin Shrine. On that screen, look for a large boulder-like object out of shape with the rest of the "rock". Use the Magical Boomerang on that. And what do you mean "the screen at the start of the entrance"? Please be more specific and try not to describe things like that. I have a hard time understanding some things, mind you.

I went to the screen where I found level 2. I saw a big rock on top. I tried using the boomerang but it did not do anything. Is there more than one boomerang? I tried using the boomerang everywhere on the screen but it did not do anything.

Yes, there is more than one Boomerang. 3, in fact. There's Wooden, Magical, and Fire, all of which are in this quest. Find the Magical Boomerang in Level 4. Also, didn't you notice how I mentioned the Magical Boomerang to use instead of the Wooden? You need to use this Boomerang in 2 places-Mt. Explosia, and Forest Ruins Area. The Mt. Explosia path takes you to the Letter, which you will need to get to Level 5.

Where in level 4 do I get the magical boomerang? The only item I found on level 4 is the blue ring. I went into all the rooms and even passed the level.

musictopia10 wrote:Where in level 4 do I get the magical boomerang? The only item I found on level 4 is the blue ring. I went into all the rooms and even passed the level.

I will not tell you the exact location, but here's a clue: There's a secret in the Triforce room, but it's not a staircase to another room or to an item room containing the item you seek. Rather, check the north wall, and pretend you're a ghost...😉

How do I pretend I'm a ghost? I am in the triforce room (where I am able to walk through a wall to the right. However, going up, I could not do anything? Which item is needed for that?

musictopia10 wrote:How do I pretend I'm a ghost? I am in the triforce room (where I am able to walk through a wall to the right. However, going up, I could not do anything? Which item is needed for that?

Ummm... I thought it was the north wall that you could walk through... Yes, it is. Just go to the center of the north wall (the one at the top), and keep holding up until yuo go through the wall. I didn't want to say what most other people say, which is headbanging. That means checking the walls for one that you can walk through, but technically, pretending you're a ghost is the same thing, since ghosts can go through walls...

I got the magical boomerang. I used it on the statue. Now, I am on the cave maze. What weapon can I use to help me get through it. I cannot even see where he's going.

musictopia10 wrote:I got the magical boomerang. I used it on the statue. Now, I am on the cave maze. What weapon can I use to help me get through it. I cannot even see where he's going.

Yes, I did that to make it a bit harder... There's no way you can see where you are going, but try going up, left, up, right, down, right, down, right, up a lot, left a lot, and down. That's all I can tell you, and I can't say the exact spaces because of the way Link walks.... Sorry.
