Level 5, first screen north of start.

 

I'm *THIS* close to deleting this game.  I've tried to get through this room literally 150 times now. 

 

What am I missing?  Do you really have to have your timing down to within a tenth of a second several times in a row, and guess randomly what the next color is going to be, where every tiny mistake makes you start over?  Seriously?

Not exactly. I had the same problems until I figured it out. The color before it blinks is a safe zone. The blinking color is the tile color of where you should go next before it stops blinking. Simple as that :) So say the color before it blinks is green. Then the orb starts blinking green/blue, so blue is where you need to stay on before the orb stops changing colors.

Demonlink: you have everything you need to tackle level 7. You're missing some rings but that won't be a problem.

I wish that on Hero Mode the orb changes colors instantly, with no warning. And stepping on wrong tile results in warp all the way to dungeon entrance. With 16-32 hearts in damage to boot.

What is the trick to reach the switch in the underground passage in level 7?

 

Sorry, I did it again: once I posted the question, I found the answer :shrug:

It's been a long time. But I had a bunch of Battletoads videos to share. But now that I'm done that series, I am not able to continue sharing lets plays of this quest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHlxXUuIBZQ

(Duration 52:06)

 

Description:

 

After a long and tiring journey into what seems to be an endless castle. Link finally reaches the top of the castle to find Urzula hiding in a secret chamber about to bring to life a secret creation of hers, the Frankenocto. However, he turns on her and kills her before he turns his attention towards Link. After a difficult fight, Link is able to overcome and defeat the Frankenocto. Link finally finds his sister who reveals to him that they are not ordinary twins, but before she is able to explain anything, Auga attacks the castle, knowing that Urzula was keeping Zelda her prisoner in secret. The conflict causes the floor under Zelda to cave in, and she's eventually captured by Auga. Link must find out how to free Zelda from Auga's grasp.

I has finally defeated Hero Mode  :tard:

Yes!

 

I'll write a review shortly afterwards, but I still seem to be missing 8 rings and the bait. Any idea of where are those so I can get 100%?

NJF Plays The Forbidden City [Hero Mode] (11 - Kasuto Town part 1)

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ONlx1e_GXo

(Duration 41:54)

 

Description:

 

Urzula is defeated, and Zelda is in Auga's fortress now. Link must find out how to defeat Auga, who is much smarter and more powerful than Urzula. Her fortress is protected by spikes and Link can't even go near her fortress without a song that can do something with these spikes. Link must go to the sunken fortress, but he must find a switch hidden in the town of Kasuto to open the door to the sunken fortress. Link also discovers in Kasuto some hints that may lead him to a more powerful sword. But this quest leads him into a fight with Boo, the ghost made of Kasuto's tears. 

 

Unfortunately I must announce that I will be no longer sharing highlights for my streams. I feel they make the process of sharing streams too time consuming, and my view count really don't justify all the work it takes to make them.

NJF Plays The Forbidden City [Hero Mode] (12 - Kasuto Town part 2)

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VINKjiOt7c0

(Duration 38:56)

 

Description:

 

Link, having difficulty defeating Boo, instead explores the underground caverns of Kasuto, which apparently was used as a shelter when it was attacked. Within these shelters he finds the switch that opens the Sunken Fortress. After opening the fortress, Link returns to fight against Boo. After a long stressful battle, Link is able to defeat Boo and earn the White Sword's Hilt. Link leaves Kasuto to seek for a hidden passage which was written in a book in Kasuto. Here he finds the other half of the White Sword and completes the sword. Now holding the White Sword, Link enters the Sunken Fortress.
