Check out the swamp east of the village.

 

(Also your avatar is Eris from the season 2 finale whoa)

Awesome how all the enemies work like in ALTTP, it's really a huge great quest. I just wish we could eventually use MP3 or NSF music for bosses other than having to make a DMap for a single room just for the music. I have beaten Level 1 already, butt I lack the arrows to explore that deadly shield-cave.

Hi mathew""!!! -you better go level 2 (need boomer) east all theway to the swamp, bring some s you can get the flipper on the ther side!

.... this is an incredible quest from bage!!!!

I actually hit that boomie switch in the swamp, butt I still couldn't reach the dungeon entrance. I might have overseen sumfin then. I'll check again. Thankies for the flippies hint, Vravie! Bagel, yeah it's Eris! This was actually my first nick, before I changed to Matthew Bluefox. Eris rocks! I even shared a lenghty e-mail with her actress, Molly Hagan, and she told me that she'd lave luv'd to return as Eris later on in the show, butt her timetable just didn't allow it. She also said she'd have luv'd to put a delible stamp on the Vorta race throughout the entire series.

I don't know how much has changed from the original version, but, I just want to say I didn't find Level 7 bad at all.  I thought it was much easier than Level 6.  Especially if you leave and get the upgrade.  I did finish Level 7 with a key.  Is there an extra or did I miss a lock somewhere?  I got the item, the bonus item, and the HCP.  Was there something else?

[Ben]

There's an extra key in level 7. It's done on purpose so that the player can take an alternate path through the dungeon if they so choose without having to go the same exact way every time.

I'm really having some problems with the boss of Level 8.  Anything I'm missing besides trying to reflect attacks, dodging and patience?  

[Ben]

Just take your time. Sometimes he'll try to phase through you and the translucent ones block reflected shots. Fight him a bit more defensively. Also if all else fails ... potions.

[SofaKing]

Yeah, I don't know why I struggled with that.  Beat him on my first try today.  I wasn't moving around enough and wasn't swinging my sword early enough.  

 

What's the deal with this magic armor?   Once it's gone it's gone?  Or is it something I can use more than once?

[Ben]

It's magic-powered. As you take damage it will drain magic, but you'll take much less damage.

 

If you complete the Secret Tunnel, you'll get an item that will negate the magic drain. Hopefully you found the 1/2 magic upgrade as well.

[SofaKing]

Oh I get it.  So you take less damage but your magic drains as you take said damage, and then once you are out of magic you go back to taking damage at the red tunic level (or whatever tunic you had when you got the armor).  Once you pick up magic it kicks in again.  Makes sense now.  

 

Great quest BTW.   Very hard.  For me L6 was the hardest (other than Secret Tunnel which I know is meant to be annoyingly hard).

Hey, glad you're enjoying it.

[ShadowTiger]

Very much enjoying the quest. It reminds me of Pure Quest vs ALTTP.

Where is the 1/2 Magic Upgrade, anyway? I'm sure I'd find it on my own, and I haven't really had any issues running out of magic yet, but you never know.

This is probably going to be one of those times when I find the answer shortly after I ask the question, but I have two areas in the Ice Dungeon, Level 5, that appear to be unwalkable.

Spoiler

The unwalkable areas are where Link's sword is currently situated.
Oh yeah, I also have 999 Super bombs because reasons. I haven't used even one of them yet.

Also, I got the L3 Sword immediately after the Dark Palace, I think. It wasn't hard to get. Thank you for that.

[Ben]

Cheats appear to be on, so maybe you disabled layer 2 by mistake? o_O; There are supposed to be large ice blocks in those places, and they are translucent and on layer 2.

 

You can get half magic once you have the item from level 6.

 

Glad you're having fun, by the way!

[ShadowTiger]

Oh, it wasn't cheats. It was that "Show Transparent Layer" in ZC's Settings menu. I didn't know that was off. Probably remnants from an old quest that pissed me off. Thanks for the reminder!

Interesting point how enemies can be translucent but tiles on layers won't even appear with that setting on. Isn't that interesting? I guess it's just so ZC doesn't have to work as hard, and can run better on really old machines.

Though the lamp doesn't work on those ice blocks. Nor does the hammer. Interesting.

[Ben]

Curious. How did you end up with 999 super bombs?
