How to get to that key?

[TheOnlyOne]

All right! I finished! Not sure which ending I got though. I don't think it was the bad or neutral, but I could be wrong. I don't want to say exactly what happened in the end, because I don't want to give it away... how do I know which ending I got?

Also, in terms of max inventory, once I go back and get that item, all I have left is "Farow's wind". I have no idea where that could be hidden...

[DarkFlameWolf]

congrats, its surpassed Lost Isle in votes/stars. Well done CastChaos.

[Surreal Canine]

How do I get out of the upper-left corner of Hylia Waste? Does it have something to do with the Goron Mask, and if so, where's the first wallet?

Zenith:
Medal of Peace is in IW graveyard. Since it's big secret, I can't tell more. And if I can't tell more, I hide the fact that I don't really remember it, either.
To get L4 sword... go to northeast main overworld. I can't tell more. Altough if I remember, you have the requirements. But that sword can alter the ending... it's not a bad thing to see the neutral ending first then the best later...

Zorlaf:
You can't get that key yet. Seems like I forgot that there are just 7 that you need to get first, the 8th (what you see there) comes later. Otherwise it's not hard to get those 7 keys, just walk around the very edge.

TheOnlyOne:
You can tell which ending you got if you PM me with its details. According to what you found, you couldn't get the bad ending (unless there's bug). So PM me with what bosses you fought and what happened with "Knil", "Myra" and "those others"?

DFW:
Thank you! My life eventually really proved to be meaningful.
EDIT: Hm, I have 14 "5 star"s, while you have about 33 "5 star"s and one "3 star". Then I guess LI is still higher ranked...

Silly Cat 2:
Slash a part of the tall grass, you reveal ocarina sign, blow ocarina on that point. You need Goron Mask just a bit later. Next wallet is in dungeon. Bring superbomb.

[Zenith]

What? You got the neutral ending right before I did!? How fast did you beat it? I got 25:00:25.

Never found the Medal of Peace of the level 4 sword. Any hints to where they are?

[Zorlaf]

Where i can find keys to it?

[CastChaos]

Zenith:
Read my last post about those information.
Also, you say you got an ending? If so, PM the last bosses and the actions of ALL the main characters so that I can tell you which is it and I can log you in.

Zorlaf:
As I said, the keys around B1. Maybe you missed this one: in the bottom right, slash the fake lock block (it's in fact a key container).

[barefootguy]

How do I get rid of the blocks on either side of the key block?

[CastChaos]

Hookshot the one closer to you. I also got confused when playing, I needed to look it up in ZQuest... I forgot my own secret.

EDIT:
Newest update is sent in, download it when you can. It fixes vital bugs, too. Also, the .zip file will contain a surprise for non-English people. No, it's not a non-English BB.
Also look at the BB thread's first post. Congratulate to TheOnlyOne and Zenith. (Hope you already did to Lithium.)

[TheOnlyOne]

New update... guess I was a little late. I found two bugs in the final boss.
-After beating the eight powers, of you wait too long to slash the boss, you get warped into an identical screen which is impossible to exit, and the sword triggers turn the floor black.
-I'm not sure how many endings this applies to, but in the room with the pit that drops you back to the floor near the shop, you can damage warp yourself over the pit, go through the door, and get stuck.

[Moonbread]

I am going to assume that there is an ocarina of which I need to attain to get to Garden Gallery... now, by chance, interested in telling me how? And yes, I already paid the greedy bastard known as Skull Kid his 100 rupees (not going for the 255 )

[CastChaos]

TheOnlyOne:
I will fix those. I guess my next update batch is a little farther though.

Moonwhisper:
You don't need ocarina. Where the Skullkid says "music?" there go right, burn the minitree at the bottom of the screen, go south, all the way west and you are there. Meanwhile know that you need to boomerang a buzzbulb and unload your inventory on a small object ("Got items?").
About that "Music?" room... memorize its location for later purposes.

[TheOnlyOne]

Two more bugs:
-In the room after the first part of the good ending, there are two solid tiles in the bottom left corner of the room by the torch.
-This one is complicated... It's pretty major, as it allows you to pretty much skip the last part of the final boss. I'll pm you with the details.

And...


There you have it! Maxed inventory and secret ending. (I actually have 35 hearts, the game just doesn't count that high.)

Thank you so much for this quest, CastChaos. The explorations in the overworld, the layout and design of the dungeons, the ever twisting plot... It is a joyous thing. I really enjoyed pushing through the many difficult experiences this quest offered. Not often do I replay I quest numerous times, but this will surely be one that I do. I can't wait for your future quests to be released!

[CastChaos]

TheOnlyOne:
Bugs will be fixed.
Maxed inventory will be logged. (How fast!)
I'm happy that I made you happy. When peopel tell a compliment in a way that I feel that it's more than being nice, rather they really enjoy what I did... well, I think that is why I made Ballad of a Bloodline. And will make more of this story and some other stories... if I can get to finishing them. BB was special. There hardly were things that could make me stop making it for a while (a day or max a few days).

I also didn't expect that if people eventually start to play it, some of them finish so soon. I expected that maybe hardly anybody bothers playing and they get maximum to the beginning of Steaming Systems (most gave up the demo there). I also expected that maybe BB will be like MMDWRDC: people enjoy it, but can't get too far and just a selected few see the ending.
How things became is definitely the best. I secretly wish BB lasted longer for the first ones to beat, but I'm also very happy that there are some whos already did it, as a proof that BB is beatable and as an extra extra assurement that this one and half years did worth it.
I had SO many questmaking attempts after my first quest, all being eventually cancelled. But when I started BB, I KNEW that I want to tell this story and even though all of the twists were made up much later than starting BB, I knew there would be serious content in it.
Knil... Myra... Happy Mask Salesman... Zeia... Dynamo... We are expecting you back for another adventure. With new dungeons to explore and new enemies to face... Don't forget to season your Blood... line...
