Dungeon #4: Ice Dungeon [MC.03.09]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch out, because ice is slippery. Go north, east and go down the stairs.
Push the lever to the left, and go back up. Fall down from here to end up in
the other side of the previous room. Push the block of ice south, and then
east. It will melt, and you can get the key. Go back up the stairs, and west
2 times.
Jump down, and you'll find a small puzzle. Push the upper block to the left,
and do the same with the one that contains the boss key. After that, push the
boss key up and left. Push the untouched block down and to the left. You can
now push the boss key down, left, up and right. Get the boss key, and push
the lever up. Now go to the main room and open the door.
Great! The artifact. Bad! No way to reach it yet. Just head south and west.
Head south first, and open the big chest for the Dungeon Map. After that,
head north and west, and when you are done climbing the stair, to east, and
follow that until you see a mushroom. Get to the other side using the
vacuum-cleaner and step on the switch to lower the gate. Go south.
Go further south, and read the tablet. Step on the switch and go east. You
might wonder how much more obvious the game could be. When you dive into the
middle of the strange walls, you'll find a key. Head all the way back up,
and go back to where I said "when you are done climbing the stairs". Well
not all the way. When you find a locked door, enter it.
Step on the switch so the gate lowers. Take the lily all the way back to where
you found the key. Here, step on the switch and go east. Remember this enemy?
He'll recover faster from a hit, and you'll have a harder time moving around.
When you defeated him, go north, into the new room. Open the big chest for a
compass.
After that, take the lily and go back west, then north and step on the new
switch. Now use the lily to get on the left ice, and go north to find a chest
that contains 50 rupees. Get to the ice-puzzle. Press the upper block down,
right, down, left, up and the switch will be pressed. Take the lily and follow
the path. Enter the new room east.
It's all dark. Head north, since that's the only way to go, and go down the
stairs. Defeat the enemies here to activate the blue portal. Go south and
follow the path. Use the 2-Link technique to push the lever to the left. One
one part of the boss and artifact will shine light. Also, the block of ice
that was blocking the way is gone now. So go into the new room.
Follow the path, and open the chest for a blue stone. Continue your journey
to the east. Go south here, and take the left path for another chest with a
blue stone. Take the other path. From here, go right and break the bottles
for a green stone. After that, go into the door west.
Go north, and down the stairs. Go up the stairs here and push the lever up.
Now go back, and push the other level up. Go back once again, and push the
lever back. Light will come in and melt the chest. Open it for a small key.
Now go back all the way and open the locked door.
Push the lever down, and you'll have to fight a sub-boss. It's just like the
boss from the first dungeon, but this one is able to charge itself. When he
is charged, you can't attack, that's the only difference. When he's killed,
open the big chest for a Lantern. You can use this to melt ice and see in
the dark. Go back, melt the ice and take the stairs down.
Melt the chest and open it for 100 rupees. Then go to the east. Just be sure
you have enough light, and kill the enemies. The door will open, so you can go
east.
Take the lower path, and light the box to lower the switch. Take that path
now and follow it. When you come to a junction, take the one to the left to
find a chest with a red stone. Take the right one and light the box to lower
the next switch. Find your way to the wall on the west, and bomb it. Kill
all the enemies inside for a small key. Return to the previous room. Take the
path that goes the most to the right, and follow it for a chest with a red
stone, and to light another box. Follow the last path for another chest with a
red stone and to light the final box. Open the locked door and enter it.
From here on, just follow the path until you are in a room with flashing
tiles. Push the blocks out of the way (no problem, I assume), and enter the
room north. Push the left ice block down and left, and push the right one
right. Now use the 2-Link technique to step on the other 2 switches on the
other side of the room, and leave the room south.
Push the upper right block up, and go west. Melt the block, and use the 2-Link
technique to push the block out of the way. Go south and west. Light all the
boxes here, and go west again. Go south, and east, and in the new room bomb
the way north. Enter the room.
Kill the 2 Centipedes, and go east. Follow the path, and go up the stairs. Go
south from here. Follow the path until you reach a big lever, and use the
2-Link technique to push it left. This will shine light on the other side of
the room too. The artifact will be swallowed by the boss, and you'll have to
go after it.
The boss isn't all that hard. Reflect the stones he's shooting with your
shield, until he turns into ice. At that point, use your lantern to set fire
on his flower/tail. Repeat this until he dies. You'll get the artifact, and
be sure to grab the heart container too. Take the green portal.
We are not quite done yet, since we have 2 chests left in the dungeon. Let's
go get them. Just go back to the lily and take it all the way down. In the
room where you can't go any further, you'll find a chest with 100 shells and
to the west a chest with a red stone. Now go back outside and you're done with
this dungeon.
