Just trying this quest and stuck in level 5 trying to find whistle. Unfortunately, the help replies in this thread no longer have the screen shots in them so I can't follow the directions. Can someone give me some help as to how to get to the ocarina?

Make your way to the very bottom-right of the lower floor.

Been trying to get to those rooms, but can't seem to manage to find the way. I keep running into dead ends.

[Chris Miller]

Make your way back to this room and bomb the wall out, then go down the stairs.


Note the position of the flower and torch, and the position of the flower in the room above it. It's a clue to a walk-through wall there.

Once you go through there, it's pretty easy. You'll fight a Gohma and some Darknuts, and then you'll come out on the bottom right portion of the lower floor.

Chris, there is no screenshot in the post. If screenshots won't work, can you let me know coordinates of the room or a description?

[Chris Miller]

That should do it.

Okay, I have a question: How do you even get to level 1? I have been stuck roaming the overworld for the better part of half-an hour with no clear direction on where to go. I am stuck at the area with the desert and the two vague hints "Don't go in there... It's dark" and "Ya know...these plants and rocks weren't always blocking this entrance" don't help me much at all.

Edit: I am reviewing this, so the sooner I get help, the better off I am.

Just go north of the old tower, into the destroyed village. You'll get the bow. That will let you get into the tower.
Also, if you want, go to the east of the tower, past the volcano, and into the other village. There's a free magic shield and a piece of heart there.
Keep in mind, I'm aiming for old-school Zelda 1-style exploration-based gameplay here. Don't worry, it won't get unfair on you.

This is a masterpiece quest! Thanks Chris for telling me about it. It's the first quest not done by myself I've been doing for quite a while, the last one was the inofficial third quest from Alpha and the official 3rd and 4th quest.

Titan is great, and I got all items except the middle crystal in the inventory (I got the left and the right one, red and blue), and I seem to have not found the boots (other empty spot) if there were any. I guess the middle crystal is a green one, like in the normal quests as well. Did anyone of you find the green crystal?

The lens of truth "level" was awesome, something I wouldn't have expected. Level 5 was an awesome design, and the music ... oh boy, I almost danced to that one.

I'm still working on the revision that I gave to you. You're supposed to get the green crystal from the super-secret dungeon I showed you, but I haven't actually put in an entrance to it yet.

[Matthew Bluefox]

That's nice, so I actually got everything except a single heart piece.

I'm stuck here, is there any cheat to walk through the wall?

[Chris Miller]

I PMed you the code. I checked it out in ZQuest, and the warp points are set correctly. Can't figure why you'd show up in the corner like that. o.O
EDIT: Haven't been able to duplicate it either. Very very strange.

Thanks for the code Chris! .I've managed to duplicate it by saving the game at the staircase.I use the latest linux build from shardstorm, could this be the problem?

[Chris Miller]

Dunno.
Something similar happened to a room in the Sky Tower. I had to delete the room, rebuild it, and release a revision.
In any case, I'm making sort of a director's cut right now, and it's nearing completion. It's a series of revisions suggested to me by the community, and a bunch of new features, graphics, music, etc.
