How about the Cross (for seeing invisible objects) I need it in chamber 5. Is it in chamber 5 or should I have it before I enter 5?

In the north most room? I can't figure out how to open the door from the room you warp to south of the north most room. I'll have to try again to figure it put. Thanks Elise.

I know about dropping down in fact you can drop down from 2 rooms. I've gotten the silver arrow and the long bow from this level, in fact I have beaten this level without the cross. It wasn't easy killing a 3 headed Gleeok without seeing him but I did it. I have a feeling the room I', tryng to get in has something to do with the missing statue. There are only 3 in the room but I can't figure ir out. Well I'll try again. I know once I get it I'll kick myself because it was so easy. All I can figure is I need something from Chamber 6 to backtrack with sooooo on to Chamber 6.

Look at my previous post when you drop down take something with you 😊
something looking like a missing statue would be a great idea 😉

I would have never in a million years have thought of doing what you had to do to get into that room. There really needs to be a hint that you can do that in that room above.

Elise,

There are 4 rooms I can't figure out how to get to in Chamber 6. They are room1: the Triforce room, room 2: 1 room south of room 1, room 3: 1 room east of room 2, room 4: 1 room south of room 3. How about a little hint. I have the book, mirror shield and the red ring from this chamber as well as the boss key. I just need to get to the boss room.

edit: oops double post...sorry about that.

Fajz is this where you can now light a torch with the (book wand combination )
in a room with four blocks 😉
on the left down side

Elise,

You said earlier in this post that the Lens can be bought. Where is the shop to by the lens. Does it cost more than 500 rupies? I haven't found the large wallet yet and I'm in Chamber 9.

Elise, Chamber 9 is about to drive me crazy. I have explored all of the west side of the 1st and 2nd floor. I can't figure out how to get to the map. I found the room but I can't get to the map. The boss key is driving me crazy also. I found the room but can't figure out how to get to the other side of the room to hit the crystal so I can get to the boss key. Is there 2 entrances to Chamber 9?

Also there are 3 stores I have found in this game. One is in the east graveyard, one is directly north of start and one is in the middle of the castle. none of them have the Lens. It must be somewhere in one of the Chambers. I did however find the Large Wallet in Chamber 8.

There is only one entrance for chamber 9 if you found the map room then you go one screen down and up in the skulls , don't forget you can walk through the skulls

I did just that but couldn't walk thru those skulls. I'll go back and try again.

OK I tried again and if you go south of the map room you get to a room with what looks
like 2 "hog" heads on the north wall that you can't walk thru or bomb or burn or shoot with an arrow
or anything else to get thru this wall north. Bummer!!!

I am using Zelda 2.11 build 10 to play.

OK I give up I have tried everything in every room I can get to. How the hell do you get to the boss key in chamber 9? I've been to the room but I'm stuck in the middle area and can't get to the right side to hit the red crystal so I can get to the boss key on the left side.

you have to bomb the wall two or three screens above already walk down through a skull instead of the door 😉

That's just it I can't get 2 or 3 screens above the boss key room. Also I got the mirror (Lens) thanks. Sneeky place to hide it. I got the map too. Who would have figured out you had to feed a "hog" head stuck on a wall. Very sneeky.

Not above the bosskey but the row right from the boss key there two screens up
there walk down the left skull instead of the door and bomb your way into the bosskeyroom to set that trigger

I can't figure out how to get anywhere on to the North East of the boss key. All the rooms in the NE section of Chamber 9 have been unoccupied by me.

then go to the east with the big head in the middle on the wall
think from start 2 to the right
hit that big guy with the arrow and move on if you already did that then please put an attachment of the screen where you can't go any further on my forum or here so we can take it from there 😉

Finally finished this quest Elise. Of course only because of the tremendous help from a special person from the Netherlands. If I ever come to the Netherlands I owe you a dinner and a movie. Thanks Elise if not for you I probably would have finished the quest but I'd have pulled all my hair out in the process and taken at least twice the time. You da Lady, Elise, You da Lady.

PS Oh and this is and excellent quest.

This has now been "submitted" to the database.
I added it in a folder of it's own with EVERYTHING needed to play the quest including the beta version and only the correct sfx.dat.
I released it in this manner because of the problems people had with NOT wanting to read instructions on how this quest had to be played and handled.

here are the release notes;

This is the complete package in it own folder.
It contains ALL files needed to enjoy this quest.
Download it, and place it where you normally keep other ZC files,
or just place it on the C:\ drive.
Once in place, double click on zquest-w.exe so it can write
the ag.cfg file, and the alegro.log file.
Once this is done you are ready to load it and play.

To load;
double click on zelda-w.exe
register a name
press alt twice and choose the castlehaunt3.qst
press ok
now you die, good luck

Castle Haunt III Released 11-18-2006

A Warriors job is never done.
What is this Daja Vu?

It seems every halloween, it's the same old thing, No rest for the weary.
Who cares that it's in a Haunted Castle, He's not afraid of spooks.

Zelda will just have to understand, A rescue is in order, He has to go.
Well... no matter, he has it to do, might as well get to it.

Beta tested by Elise

hint;
There are easter eggs in this quest, sometimes they show up after waiting in a screen.

IF you don't want to wait to get it on the database it's web page is HERE BUT YOU MUST DOWNLOAD ALL THREE FILES, QUEST, SOUNDS, AND BETA VERSION, and set it up yourself.
if you do it this way open the beta version FIRST and remove the sfx.dat so the correct one will be loaded when you unzip the quest and soundfiles.

This is a unique quest.
It will only work in the 211b10b, which is why I submitted it complete to the database.
It won't work in any of the other versions because the Free Form Combos where changed in the later versions.
Please don't attempt to play this quest in any other version, it simply will not work.

I think I found lv6 but have no idea how to get across the black area. I see a scull on the right wall that I think (maybe I'm thinking toooo much) needs to be lit. I only have the wand, no book. If I fall in the "pit" then I start back at the beginning.
