Ballad of a Bloodline Help

You need to press right when going on the raft, then you get rafted into the underwater stairs and end up at the far right, only a bit of walking and item using from there to the key.

Apparently, seems like most of the players need help on this matter. 😊

Thanks. Are you talking about the right side of the room. I had been in there before and I got bombs from the Goriya. I thought you bomb the wall where the map says "bomb some walls". I've already wasted like 80 rupees bombing that area.

After you get into the underwater stairs, you get into a reverse L shaped room. The left end of the south wall is cracked, bomb the middle of the crack. The message "bomb some walls" onlytells that bombable walls exist in this dungeon, nothing more.

Thanks. I just figured that out now. I just need to figure out how to move that armos statue. I'm guessing I bomb it, right?

I need help too. I am looking for the Lens of Truth. i am having a real hard time in Dungeon 2 and figured the Lens would make it clear. Can you point me to general area where I can find it, like Death Mountain, Hyrule Field, Kakariko Village, Lake Hylia? I have searched and searched and searched. I got 7 full hearts and 20 bombs for all my searching, and still haven't completed Dungeon 2...

Lens of Truth is is Kakariko Village. Go to the screen with the windmill, and hookshot the gray mushrooms near the cliff.

The windmill guy gives you the directions for the maze.

Dude, you are a lifesaver!!!! You wouldn't happen to know how to get that gold key in Dungeon two, where the waterfall and firex4 skeleton are (lower right of F2)? There is a block which covers a chest... can't figure out how to break the block.

You gotta hookshot into the hole in the wall.

Wow, stuff like that is real tough for me for some reason 😊

I think I found a bug. In the inverted world, in Beamos Baracks. direct north on Level 2 area with the fans. Right after the fan section, there is a transition room with the two big ropes and 4 gold statues, where there is a gate blocking the door. I can't get the gate open and there are no monsters in the room. I have one reg key left and the boss key. Then I discovered there are some monster stuck in the wall (about 9, three different areas). They materialize one at a time. I kill one, exit, re-enter, kill another, exit, etc (kill total of 4 trapped monsters bottom wall, 4 trapped monsters left wall, 1 trapped monster top wall, if I remember correctly). I don't know if this is a bug and the room is suppose to be filled with monsters. And the monsters can't be reached by sword - I have to use bow & arrow.

This isn't bug, you need to kill the monsters in the wall. And of course you need to use bow&arrow! 😃 You just got an arrow, use it, Sir! 😃
Also, you can kill all of them in one go, just keep shooting at all wall parts. There's 10 enemy of them. Kill all wall crawlers and the gate opens. 😊

Geeez, that took me forever to figure out :laughing:. I found these secret dungeons in the level 2 and level 3 in this inverted world. Was there also one in Level 1? If so, where should I look?

Level 4 is really cool. I like the tree which you can't escape from :tongue:

well... I'd love to get to playing this quest, I just have a slight problem... for some reason, it keeps making ZC 2.10.0 crash with an access violation(according to the visual C++ debugger) before the intro text is done. at best, I get to the line about "children leaving for" and that's it, *boom*.

Bummer dude. I can only tell you I am running Windows XP SP2 on my laptop and it works fine. Perhaps you have an earlier version of Windows and 2.10 doesn't work?

KevinPulsar:
Yes, all IW main dungeons have a subdungeon. In the first one, look at the southeast area of the center big room and use the item you got in that dungeon. There should be something that wasn't in any other part of the dungeon. It took hours for my sister to figure out...

-Z- and KevinPulsar
Well, 2.10 was made for W-98 or W-ME, it's just an extra that it works with XP SP2, too. I rather suspect that you have Vista, 2.10 works badly with that. I knew just one other person who had this "crash while intro" problem. I haven't heard from him for a long ago, but maybe try reinstalling 2.10.0. I also heard that BB doesn't work with Linux, but this isn't confirmed. If you really can't play BB as you should, then download 2.5b887, I heard it runs BB almost as well as 2.10.0.

wrong and wrong. running XP Professional service pack 2, build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.0702272254.

and as it is, I've already got two version of ZC installed, I don't feel a desire to install another, especially one that's being used for only one quest. brainstorms people, brainstorms. before I give up on what looks to be an interesting quest. *sweat*

maybe you could PM me an intro-less version? or does it establish anything that the quest database entry and readme stuff doesn't? I don't mean to make ye more work, but...

Dude, thanks a lot! I still can't believe I have 21 hearts (+ some container fillings) and have only completed IW L4 and gotten the Four Swords 😊

I feel heart container greedy now!!! How do you get that container in Dead End (Caves) that is surrounded by a black chasm and sits on a little platform? This is on the left most side, a couple screens below Mr. Skeleton...

Also, I was really wondering. Before I came to IW, there was one area I couldn't get into in the Light World. There was a mohawk guy w/ a spear guarding a pass on the right of Lake Hylia. with a grayed out area behind him on the map. Was there a way to get in there? ( I saved a copy of the game at that juncture in case I wanted to go back and explore for any missing secrets).

KevinPulsar:
That HCP on the platform? You need to fall from above. From the continue point (far north) of Mt.Dead End, go south til you can, the west til you can and there you see a dark stone that you can push now that you have Goron mask.
That area to the left of Lake Hylia is Gerudo Desert. But you can't access it. I ran out of secrets and story elements, I couldn't put anything important there and I didn't want an useless area, so I simply sealed it. Same reasons for you can't enter it in IW. But you will be able to enter it in BB's sequel which is already in production and even has a demo at PureZC. (title of sequel is Seasoned Blood, but the intro contains spoilers about BB, like what happens with Vaati)
Anyway, it was wise from you to save a copy of the part before IW.

-Z-
Well, I want everybody to be able to play BB. Making an edited version isn't an impossible effort, but if it crashes for you at the intro without any good reason, maybe it would crash right after that, too... and then I could keep making the edited versions for you, cutting out crash parts one by one. You know what? I'd even do that, but maybe a simple update (that doesn't remove the intro) would help. There already was many bugs found since last update and yesterday a very serious one was found, so I probably send in an update to the PureZC database. As soon as it arrives (can be a hour, can be two weeks), I ask an AGN database manager to update this database with the new file, too.
I blame the fact that 2.10 keeps working bad for certain people... one can't run it in windowed mode, other can't run it in full screen, other can't play a certain quest... As I see, the bigger the filesize of a quest, the more people can't play it normally.
So, update is in works. I want YOU to join the Hungarian army play BB!

I am back again 😊

I beat Glacier Grotto, and have all three masks. But there is an area left in the Groto I can't figure out:

There is a room surrounded by 4 walls I can't get into on B1 Glacier Groto on the East side. What gives? On the map, it looks like there is a passage in the room with the big skull and spiked ice walks...

I also would like to complain!! I have collected painstakingly 24 hearts and finally got a enough heart containers for an upgrade! And what happens, there isn't any 25th 😞 I just get a little life restored.

Hm, if you speak about the enclosed room just south of the huge hurting snow room, yu can access it by a teleport. Just south of the enclosed room is a room with many blocks. Push them in a way that you fill the upper and bottom rows with blocks (so keep pushing them up and down). If all at place, the teleport appears.
If you speak of the northern room, with armos statues, use the dungeon item on the middle armos.

About that 24 hearts... complain to the developers. You can't collect more than 24 hearts, and I could only lower the maximum amount. I can't keep track of my HC/Ps, that's why I always give out more... But hey, this way you will be able to pay Dynamo AND still have 24 hearts in the end.

Thanks again. So I have journeyed far and have beat IW level 7. But I am short of triforce pieces. I am thinking I better retrace my steps and search high and low. I missed one at IW Level 4 and i can't get back in. Am I out of luck, or is the entrance to the secret dungeon associated with that medal elsewhere? Likewhere those fairies are? And if so, could you point me in the right area...
I am also searching IW level 6 for its triforce. I found this crazy time portal and go back to the VERY beginning or get trapped in a "Swing Beast untamed" sentence (I do mean trapped). I take it this isn't the triforce area???Where should I go...

First of all, download the latest updated file from www.purezc.com I soon send it to the AGN database managers, too. It fixes the "IW L6 => intro and stuck" warp chain bug. Otherwise when you enter a buggy warp and come out on a layer screen with 4 keese, you should immediately go back unless you want a chance for a nice big game stopping bug.

Now, IW L4 subdungeon... since the Nightmare can't be revisited, its subdungeon isn't in it. Go to the east house of Kakarpolis, go upstairs and use the wand (not the wand magic) on Myra.
IW L6 subdungeon... go down to the water floor,go 2 screens south. You are in a screen full of water. There's one water tile that animates at different speed. Dive! 😊

EDIT: New version also has cheats, if you stuck somewhere and can't get out somehow, then can I PM the appropriate cheat to you. Like, if you trapped in Nightmare without potions and lowest possible equipment, then can you get the L1 cheat. L4 cheat is only for those whos stuck so much that they can'T move even with saving and are very far.

For anyone needing it, the quest is updated in our database now too.

http://zeldaclassic.armageddongames.net/viewquest.php?q=372

Ok, I got the new database. Glad I help find a bug 😊 I noticed the time portals don't work anymore with this new database...

So how do I open the big chest in IW4 Sub-Dungeon? I got the boss key and the triforce already, but the boss key doesn't do anything 😞

You can't open that chest, it has story purpose only. You see, this is Myra's dream. That chest contains some very secretful details about her. Of course the whole place is entirely symbolic, this is a dream, not a real material place. Myra says the lock on the chest looks like Master Smith's doing. So this all means, that Master Smith hid a fact about Myra, just as he did about Knil (remember scene after IW L3?).

Yes, I remember.

Hey, I am in IW L8 now on B1, and I fell thru another time portal / ceiling! I was by the northeast most accessable area, where the ghost darknut, fans and the conveyor belt are (unnder the leftmost fan on the belt). I ended up in some empty replica of F1 with bats again. Same thing again - go right, then up, and back at the VERY beginning. Was this suppose to happen?

I have been searching and searching for keys to unlock the gears (I unlocked 6 so far, and had to use a key from previous floor to get that far). Is there some way to get the key that I can see over the chasm in the room (two blocked doors and two open doors). I found the keys on B1 at:
1: two up from southeast corner
2: one left of southeast corner
3. Southwest corner
4. westmost, middle
5. northmost, middle

Or do I have to use another F1 key? There were two rooms with blocked doors on F1 I couldn't get into, northeast corner when you walk right from the entrance (mirror showed use the wand) and the nasty fan room with like likes in the middle. The mirror showed use the wand, but it doesn't work (even if I trick a like like in front of the door).

Also, if you just paid Dynamo his pound of flesh, and go left, if you are not careful, you'll get stuck on your tile (go over the hole on the gear) and can't move anywhere. Maybe you can fix that?

Thank you, I will fix that bug. But I already told you that go back up at buggy warps... That screen where you get is the default cave screen in ZC, so if I forget to set a warp or put a warp tile somewhere accidentally, this happens.

The key from F1 was needed, yes. And no other keys on F1.
Let's see... the one(s) you miss might be... southwest corner has 2 keys, not 1. One is by slashing the tile in the room that is 99% oil and has minimal walkability, other is a bit norther, just north of the security robot. Other you could miss is at southwest, too. Kill all weapon puppets there (the Patra 4s).
Also, you can get the chasm key only later, after you have dungeon item.

At the places what you described, the lens doesn't show wand, rather reflected fireball. So you need Oil Shield in those rooms. That's the dungeon item.

And yes, I will fix that ladder stuck thing, thank you!

Ah, it was the keys just north and east of the weapon robot. I went on a killing spree earlier, but didn't make it to those ghost knights. Thanks so much.

I also want to tell you this game is fabulous. Excellent, involved plot, revealed slowly, with twists 😊 And graphics are the best I have seen of the Zelda games here.

Kudos!

PS: There is another gear you can get stuck on with your tile, it is as you walk into the lower left area of the big room.

So I beat IW8. Where is the subdungeon? I didn't see any special areas in the first pass of the cathedral...
