Oh yeah, forgot to post this major spoiler about the LP Weapons...

 

Note to self, DON'T SPOIL YOUR BEANS!

Remember the Final Sequence? Let's just say it's possible to put it to good use, and totally possible to use it at full power, especially in Level 8. But, how do you have full power and get to Level 8 in one run? Rumor has it has to do with ducks. (You'll get what I mean if anybody else gets to that point). XD

 

PS: Loved that detail Moosh! Did this in Easy Mode just for the sake of speedrunning.

I loved that little detail when Moosh showed me the weapon. As a speedrunner-wannabe, it greatly pleased me.

Been playing this quest for a few days, and I must say that I love it. The dungeons are well put together, the overworld is very interesting to look at and traverse through and everything looks and sounds fantastic. It has not felt too frustrating at any point, which is a major accomplishment.

 

I have advanced through 7 levels and through what I assume to be a majority of the optional content not locked behind Legacy Mode (sounds like these dungeons are crazy as hell and not particularly recommended for much of anyone ) and was on the doorstep of Level 8. Then I got the first hint of Level 8 and presumed that I needed a certain item in order to proceed through the final dungeon, so I went back and claimed that item... and pretty much hated myself for that decision. Too late to turn back now, though. And the game has started just randomly raining Rupees on my head, as if to comfort me and tell me that I made the right decision. Odd phenomenon, but whatever.

 

The reason I'm putting this up today is about the optional content. I've proceeded through two of the big optional areas in the lower world and the Tower. (The boss of the tower was fun and interesting to fight.) But, a hint from I forget exactly where exactly told me:

 

Spoiler

Take one of seven to the summit of fire. I have a distinct feeling that I know exactly what "seven" represents, the weapons at the end of the LP Tower. The summit of fire has escaped my grasp, though. You would think it's some hidden location somewhere in the Fire Fields, but all I've found with the help of that item I hate myself for obtaining is 200 Rupees. Kind of nice when you've just bought the Heart Ring, but also kind of redundant when you get random rupees falling on your head.

 

If someone could illuminate me as to my quandary, I would be appreciative. Also:

 

Spoiler

That item inside of Level 8 sent me a message of "Light Reverses", which I can only presume was a hint to the dungeon itself and its nature of changing itself depending on whether it is light or dark. I probably would have figured it out on my own eventually, but the item does help illuminate the differences between light and dark, which is helpful. Though it doesn't help me to figure out how to proceed more than a few rooms into the place. I'm sure I'll figure it out once I've figured out this whole "summit of fire" business and go back to Sinner's Citadel.

Summit of Fire

If you haven't found Din's Fire yet, you should go look for that in the Dirac Sea. And if you have that... well I'm pretty sure you can figure out what the Summit of Fire you're supposed to return to is now.

Sinner's Citadel

That message is the first of many you'll find in the dungeon pointing toward the game's secret superboss. Once you beat the level, you'll be able to see all of them from the spacebar map (there are some hidden in the light and dark sides of the dungeon) and should be able to make a little more sense of them.

As far as the raining rupees goes, that's a random status effect that can be triggered by having the one rupee from the VVVVVV dungeon.

NJF Plays Link's Quest for the Hookshot 2: Quest [Update/Hard] (01 - L1 Shifting Ruins)

(Duration 24:40)

 

Description:

 

NJF: Is that a burn on me?! Haha! Is that ah.. Because I ah.. made a map for ah.. Are you referring to me here?! Hahaha! (9:06)

Moosh64: That's a reference to you, yup.   (9:34)

NJF: Ah, that's wonderful! Yeah! In the level Moosh's ways I drew up a whole map for it. (9:35)

 

NJF: Okay, Miss entitled!! Just because there's a door there, you don't need to know what's in it! It's none of your business!! It doesn't have be your business. You don't have to make it your business!! (14:45)

 

In the prologue, Link explains the details of a difficult week he's been having. He and his girlfriend was zapped into a portal into a parallel world where money was scarce. Zelda was kidnapped by parallel world Ganon. To save her, Link had to do a long quest to get his hookshot by getting all the world's money. Zelda god kidnapped again by an evil being named Poek. So Link beat him up and saved Zelda, and she got kidnapped again. Link got knocked unconscious, and when he woke up, he found himself in another parallel universe. 

 

Here, he spoke to an old man who explained that the only way to save Zelda was to collect 7 moral compasses and defeat sin. This all before he stole Link's end game gear and ran off with them.

 

Link now meets another stranger who explains that the old man always does this, and Link's stuff is probably already lost by now. He invites Link to his village here he reveals his name to be Satan, which is pronounced Suh-tan. Satan provides Link a new sword so he can start his new adventure. 

 

After speaking to a few villagers in the village, Link heads to the Shifting Ruins. These ruins are filled with mean traps. Here, Link discovers an old man named Manhandalaha is helping people through dungeons giving advice using tablets. He will be helping Link in his quest from now on, unless some unfortunate circumstance ever to happen to him. After defeating an Aquamentus, Link obtains his first moral compass.

arceusplayer11: PROBLEMATIC (15:11)

 

Link explodes a hole into a wall to find a secret dungeon owned by Samual Strawman. He's very passionate against any form of difficulty and has designed his entire dungeon around making the dungeon crawling experience for Link as easy as possible. In this dungeon. Link cannot die from damage. Shutters move when kindly asked. A problematic rating score is added to each room to ensure it is not too difficult. Everything seems to go smooth and comfortable in this strange place. Even a Gleeok is permanently terminated for violating the rules of the dungeon. It would appear as if nothing could possibly go wrong until the very end where something, a boss seems to breach the dungeon and breaks it's rules. This boss creature defeats Link, ruining Samual's dream dungeon.

You ask in the video about what I thought about the dungeon, the answer is: I think it's great. It matches the rest of the humour in the quest in that it's very self aware about itself while still making fun of the very same thing. Also, the boss and the reward from beating it is great. 'w'

Well, finally did it. I beat the quest and did everything I think there is to do in the quest. That includes the Megasecret. And having done it... I kind of wished I had never been told about it in the first place. XD To put it in perspective, I started on 38 deaths in the quest, which I consider to be respectable for a quest I've never played before (and stubbornly going after certain things when I didn't have the power level to really hack it). By the time I was done with everything involved, I was at 171. Anyone who has played that far will know where those 133 deaths came from. It's a very cool secret and everything. But, damn. There is one thing which puzzles me though...

 

Spoiler

Inside of the Boss Rush area are a number of rooms corresponding to each boss within the game. That's to be expected from an area called the Boss Rush. There were two center doors which remained stubbornly closed until after I had defeated the final boss. One contained the boss from the Dangerfree Dungeon, whatever it was called. The NO FUTURE boss. I don't know why it refused to open before the game was beaten, but that's neither here nor there. My question is about the boss in the other center room, the Thwomp. I don't remember any level in this quest with a Thwomp or any other Mario enemy in it. Is there a dungeon I missed somewhere in the quest to drive the Item percentage up even more? Because 104% just isn't quite enough. I need DKC3 top level completion of 105%.

Congrats on completing the game, and sorry the megasecret gave you so much trouble.

 

Spoiler

The Thwomp boss was from one of the replaced bonus dungeons but I didn't want something major like a boss to be Legacy Mode exclusive, so I put it in the boss rush. 104% is the max completion you can normally get. There's one more secret item if you bring the fully powered up Final Sequence to level 8, but it's functionally useless. I added it just so players could get past triforce checks and have a completed subscreen with the Final Sequence.

Moosh, don't apologize for the megasecret. It was a cool thing to play through, even if it was brutal.

 

Spoiler

In fact, I would dare say that you've probably created the toughest boss there's ever been in Zelda Classic. Though there were some cheap moments where it was virtually impossible to escape hits, most of it was learning the patterns and advancing slowly, inch by inch. I was tempted several times to quit and downgrade the difficulty to something more tolerable, but I stuck with Normal and won my victory. I can't imagine trying to beat this on Hard or Anarchy mode, but I'm not going to try and imagine it. I can watch Eppy and NJF take on this boss on Hard instead. And hey, at least in the end there was a purpose to my regrettable act at the start of Level 8.

Link enters the Tower of Athena now with his guilded sword and blue ring. This tower has several floors Link must climb to reach the top. Fortunately Link obtains a boomerang which he will use to aid him to defeat Pokey, Deadly Sin of Sloth. This earns him his next moral compass.

Hi Moosh and everyone!

 

Really awesome quest so far, a lot of love and effort went into this. Thanks for creating it!

 

My question is... where are the potion shops?

I thought I found one, but I can't remember where it was and I was searching the entire overworld for it.

 

Thanks in advance!
