After the key, go to Peahat Ridge.
Don't worry, you will find the hookshot too... Have you found the blob and killed him?

Also, whats next after the key in the trading sequence?
OMG, this has got to be the hardest puzzle in the entire game. That stone is so easily overlooked on the screen next to the bow.
Great! Stuck again!
This time in level 8. I cant seem to kill the gohma that spews fire. My arrows dont work. Neither does my level 2 hookshot.
Im also not able to get into the cave just outside the training ground.
My guess is that I need silver arrows from somewhere... But have no clue where to get them.
Ive also progressed in the trading sequence... I now have the Yoshi doll. Im guessing I need the hammer before I get the next trade right?
No idea where the book of wisdom is either?
You can't obtain the Book of Wisdom yet.
I take it you haven't completed the Forest of Illusion, go there first. There is a sign nearby telling you literally how to get there.

Yes. Been to the forest, got the lens of truth.
Im struggling though with killing the Gohma inside level 8. Resistant to everything!
Aha! I see now. Secret shop selling the mirror shield!
Finished Level 8 now. Thanks for all your help.
Want some guidance about which level to take on next.
The Ghost Cave, Poisonous Garden, or is there somewhere else I should go?
Oh by the way, been doing some reading after getting the book of wisdom.
Whats that goddess statue above Lynna Village in the past talking about?
What the hell is going on in the ghost cave?
An infinitely spawning room of blue mirror robe ghosts? You got to be kidding me! How do you get past that without the red tunic?
And what about the big ghost boss to the west? How the hell do you kill that?
Seriously man WTF?
The ghost cave is a crazy place (but well designed and your ideas are brilliant!)! Finally finished it now, the only good thing about that level was the fact it was a short walk to the potion shop! 😃
So wheres the red tunic?
NVM, just finished the sewers.
Well, its been fun! But Im having real trouble killing Ganon. Very annoying with all the fireballs flying around.
Any hints on how to kill Ganon?
Im guessing I need Nayru's Lore... But dont know where it is.
Nayru's Love is not necessary to kill Ganon. Its main use is to unlock an extra tidbit in the ending for the completists.
It is in Ganon's Fortress, very close to the stairway leading to Ganon's fight. There's a walkthrough wall. The thing is: you need to have picked up every heart piece to be able to get it, hence why it is a "completist" item.
To kill Ganon, preferably bring a red potion, and try to deflect the fireballs with your shield as often as possible. Since they follow you around, ignoring them usually ends with them hitting you. Don't rush through the fight and don't be too greedy on the hits you can inflict to Ganon in a single time. Focus on defending yourself and I'm sure you can make it.
edit: I'm assuming you have found the purple tunic in Ganon's Fortress.

Nope. Still have the red tunic. Where's the purple one?
As for the heart pieces, I think Im about 6 short of a full set. You got a list of where they all are? Would value having the Nayru's lore too.
I may have a chance of beating ganon with the purple tunic, but havent found it. The only items I found in the level were the magic key, and the L3 discount ring.
If you just look at your map of the level you will see there are "holes" in it. The purple tunic shouldn't be hard to locate.

Are you talking about the mouth? Tried finding a hidden passage, but cant find it!
I'm such a noob!
There's no mouth, but these are probably the rooms you need to access. There's not even a hidden passage to reach them. Just normal doors, a few screens away from the entrance.

Care to elaborate in particular which room I need to explore?
That "mouth". It's not a mouth, there are rooms there.

Edit, sorry! Cant believe I forgot about that door!
Have you got a list you can PM me of all the heart pieces? Don't want to finish the game without 100% completion if can help it.
Quest Review:
Jamian is a quest making Guru! This quest belongs up there with the "greats"... End of Time DX, Rise of Ganon, Isle of the Winds, and Light of the Heavens.
The quest has really innovative ideas, and takes inspiration from other great RPG titles such as FF6 and Terranigma. Some levels are very reminiscent of the those games as you get to fight Kefka, loose yourself in the maze of the moblin woods similar to Norfest forest in Terranigma.
It doesnt end there though, in the ghost cave you become Pacman, in the vampire castle you become Simon belmont, the forest of Illusion reminds me of the mana holyland in Secret of Mana, and in the pyramid become Will from the Illusion of time.
Puzzles are challenging throughout, and will stump you for quite a while. Particularly the one in the Wizard castle where you have to play the song of storms. I also wasn't too keen on Crab beach... missed a single pushable stone.
Don't think this quest is one you can finish quickly. It's tough! The only reason Ive made so much progress through it is because Ive been unwell over the past week, and the quest has been the only company ive had.
Overall: 9.5/10
Its not getting a perfect score cause the puzzles were too tough in certain places, and it wasn't entirely clear where to go when you've finished certain levels. Plus I'm still searching for all the heart pieces!
Thanks man, I appreciate it a lot 😊 Whenever I ask myself if spending time making a quest was worth it, these kinds of reactions are exactly the ones that make me think "yes".
The song of storms puzzle really divides opinions, with reviewers alternately mentioning it as a low point or high point of the quest.
Regarding you being unwell, hope you get better soon!
I'm PMing you the heart piece list.
Im down to my last heart piece now.
Having trouble locating it despite the list.
Can you remind me which room the heart piece in the Unicorn cave can be found?
Also, the 3A heart piece is confusing. Not sure if ive got that one or not.
Started your quest. I'm not very far but it is very enjoyable. Many quests I start I never finish because of many sources of frustration. Haven't found one in yours yet.

You don't know what you've let yourself in for.... Mwahahahahahahaaaaa!
Hi Jamian, I just finished the entire game (all heart pieces collected, all items collected I think) and have some feedback for you!
The game was amazingly fun, this is my first custom quest played and it was challenging (257 deaths, 26 hours of playtime) without any guides.
One thing I would like to point out, the places that require a longshot can be passed without a longshot. It's possible to at least skip level 7 completely (of course the triforce is needed). This also makes getting the long shot extremely easy. It's a combination of using the leaf and hookshot to cross gaps.
Some other feedback is to give hints at where the fire boomerang and mirror shield is at. I felt most of the game was pretty straight forward (and I must of gotten lucky figuring some things out) except I went through almost the entire realm past and present looking for them until I finally found them (then it made sense where they were at).
I don't know if it's been fixed in later versions, but on 1.2 there were some rooms where you had to walk across the floor and in order to access the next room you had to hit all of them (or get stuck). Pressing Z reset my location back to the entrance.
Last thing, after starting my game today, I had "A" amount of red bombs (which I assumed was 10 for hexidecimal). The most recent thing I did was get the Skeleton Key, so that may have been the culprit.
It would be nice to be able to replay the game with all of the items, is it possible to get a modified game to initialize the character with everything awesome? I say this because 257 deaths is a lot, I would have so much satisfaction playing through the game without dying so many times.
Have a nice day.

Everything was amazing, a lot of the dungeons were tons of fun and pretty awesome! For example, the classic realm and ghost cave. Have you ever played Earthbound? I would recommend changing the sewer music to the Earthbound sewer music. Play Earthbound, it's so damn amazing.
Hi and thanks for your comments!
Whew, that hookshot bug is a real problem. I'm not sure what I can do to fix it though... I'll try and think of a solution for the next update, if I can.
The Z thing is actually a feature of that script, I'll change the message saying you can use that (instead of requiring Farore's Wind).
"A" is normally the character that indicates you have an infinite supply of something, which makes sense for keys once you get the master key, but it's not supposed to do that for bombs... I have no idea what could have caused it. What happens if you use a super bomb then, does that decrease your counter?
I'll PM you the level 1 cheat so you can have infinite energy. I may actually give it away in an update, for players who beat the game after having found everything. If you do play through it again, I recommend updating to the latest version (the link is given in the first post of the thread).
And yep, I've played Earthbound, great game I agree 😊
Jamian, I think the heart piece Im missing is the one in the unicorn cave.
I never found the map, and am not sure where the heart piece was.
Ok, it's in a secret passage found in the room right before the boss.
Awesome!
To skip over the gaps without the longshot, it requires near exact precision. It took me about 30-40 times on average to actually do it. If it's possible to make the spacing's one space farther, it would not be possible to cross (however I notice if you make them one space farther apart you would have to worry about some other things).
For the red bombs, while the counter does say A, it's definitely not infinite. When I use them all up, it still say's A. It may be a bug in the quest-maker and out of your hands 😞
Jamian wrote:Ok, it's in a secret passage found in the room right before the boss.
Thanks so much man! That was the piece I was missing!
Ive fully completed the quest now with only 106 deaths throughout!
This one's easily as good as stranded, if not better!
When's your next quest gonna be out?
I wouldn't mind doing a let's play of this quest again myself, what software is used for capturing videos?
