I got the puzzle but I can't find the 2nd key to get around that lock in the hopes of getting what's in the treasure box.

You need 3 keys in total to get that chest (which has the cross in it). The moblin who tells you about walk-through walls isn't kidding, there are quite a few! They might even be in some fairly unexpected places...

I don't know if this is a problem you feel needs addressing Arathorn21st, but if Link falls into one of the darkened pits near level one, before obtaining the candle, he can't get out again and you have to quit and restart the game. For anyone who is dumb enough to SAVE here, it's a game stopper.

You can get out of there without the candle. It's a little tricky, but if you're really stuck, when Link dies the room will light up for a moment, letting you see the spikes. Also, if you quit->save, you should respawn back in Pyrenia in the lower-left corner of the map, not in that cave.

Thanks.
There was me thinking that to quit/save would mess my game up, and it would have actually saved me from losing around an hours progress!:laughing:

I am REALLY enjoying this quest. Just started level 5, but I gave it a rave review over at PureZC, 'cos It's worth the 5 stars already. I use a different username over there if you're confused.😃

Thanks so much for your feedback! It's good to know that people share my ideas about what makes a quest worthwhile.

If anyone else has any feedback, positive or negative, I'm open to all of it, either by forum post or by PM.

WOW! I just finished level 8, but still couldn't get to the mirror shield. I did go get the blue tunic though - that made my head spin. I have to say these are some really good puzzles. I like this quest and will be sure to rate it 5 at Pure too. I don't know what the difference is between the easy and hard quests, but i recommend doing the hard quest for a challenge.

I had that extra key from level 5 too, but don't have any right now. I hope i can get it back when i get to the mirror shield.

edit: ok, i have one key for the block to the mirror shield but can not find the warp to access it. i am officially stuck - hint?...please?

I'm enjoying this quest a lot, but I'm still stuck in level 4 despite the clue to walk behind torches. Have the boss key, bow & arrow. Help, please? Thx NVM--figured it out.

:mad2: you are killing me Arathorn21st - of course you already made this point in a previous post. 😃

jhaymaker: off the top of my head...take the right candle at the entrance, but that is off the top of my head and my memory isn't all that.

Stuck for a while now in level 6. Could I pls have a hint on the block puzzle where we're supposed to move the blocks so that the two halves of the room have something in common? Thanks

jhaymaker--The thing that the rooms have in common is that arrow panel from LTTP (the one that Link used to talk to Sahsalshlrshrlahsrala.) Compare these rooms on the dungeon map to the block positions in the puzzle room.

Also, I just added a key shop somewhere in the overworld in both quests, so it's no longer possible to screw yourself (some people managed to do this in level 6). You should only use it as a last resort, though. If you want the new version (which also fixes other bugs) go to www.medievaltech.com/reclamation.

I'm sorry, but what in the world is an arrow panel from LTTP/ Sahsalshlrshrlahsrala???

Somehow i managed not to find the glove, so im kinda stuck in lvl 2.
Any hints towards its whereabouts?

Finally realized that this applies to me. Have been all over looking for the new key shop and am getting tired. Could you pls give a hint as to its location? Thx

andnay--The general idea is to get as far northeast as possible on floor 1, fall down to basement 1, and then go north to find a path to a warp tile. I think you need 2 keys to do this.

jhaymaker--Look in the southeast corner of the overworld.

There's a big problem in the key shop you just made. The shopkeeper doesn't take the money. Now if only you made a shop with a walkthru to level 6 I'd be set......LOL

North-East where?
in lvl 2 there is no way to drop in the basement, lvl one i think had none.
Or had it?
can you specify this bit a bit?

I'm now stuck in level 6 in the room on the right side of the map where the guy says make it common. I've been doing it for at least twenty minues with getting that damn door open and I'm about ready to totally give up on this quest. It's a miracle I actually got the cross nevermind get this door open. Please somebody tell me where I'm suppose to move the blocks to?
Thanks in advance,

The key shop bug where the shopkeeper doesn't take your money is fixed.

andnay--I think you need to bomb the left wall in the room with the compass, that should take you to a pit so you can reach more of the level.

EDIT: Oops, in my previous post I said northeast but I meant northwest. Sorry!

ms_zelda_lady--From a few posts back:
"The thing that the rooms have in common is that arrow panel from LTTP (the one that Link used to talk to Sahsalshlrshrlahsrala.) Compare these rooms on the dungeon map to the block positions in the puzzle room."

As an example, the lower-right block is covering screen 66 on the dmap. If you push that block down, it will be covering screen 76 on the dmap, which has an arrow panel in it. So the lower-right block must be pushed down. Use a similar strategy to figure out where to push the other 3 blocks.

Thanks for the clue but after pushing blocks around for almost an hour I finally got it. Talk about a crazy level!! I'm hoping the rest of the game won't be as hard.
I've been walking around trying to find level 7 but haven't. I found the Museum of War and quickly realized without the hammer to kill that nasty darknut obviously that's not the right place to be in. I also found the Phoenix Egg but can't go in there either. So where am I supposed to go next? I hope level 7 has the hookshot cause I really want that blue suit.

Level 7 is in the snow. The entrance is pretty unimposing. You'll have to wait on the hookshot though.

Regarding the blue tunic... I finally got through to what should be the end of the puzzles and have all the keys, but I can get through the last puzzle. I've seen the key door in the room above the puzzle and assume I have to go through the upper right door to get there, but I can't get to that door. I imagine if I could enter from the bottom left of the room, it would be easy to get to the upper right corner. Is the repeating room below another puzzle? Any help would be appreciated.

Is it called the Core? I tried to do a few rooms in there and manged to get the compass, map and a key. Prety hard though.

sbar--This is the hardest puzzle in the quest, so I'm not going to completely give it away. All of your statements are correct, you need to enter from the bottom left of that room (the top left door in the repeating room).

The repeating room is a Lost Woods path, which means that you need to travel in 4 directions to escape. 1 of these directions (South, in the repeating room) cannot be a part of the path because it takes you back to the first room every time you try it. In the 1st quest in LOZ, the path was North, West, South, West, with East being the escape direction.

So you need to guess what the path could be, given that your choices are North, East, and West, and that the path is length 4. What direction could be the last choice? Which directions would make sense to lead up to that choice?

ms_zelda_lady--The Frozen Core is level 7. Don't get too distracted by the circular path in basement 1, there may be a better way...

ms_zelda_lady--The 2nd power glove is the first item in level 7.

gekos--The largest wallet is for sale in a cave in Hellfire Plateau, I think. (I'm answering all of these from memory, as my copy of Vista is in a broken state, so if someone can correct me, that would be good.)
