Oh, well I'm glad that the other hearts are located at the end of dungeons.  Thanks Russ you've been a great help!  Also this is easily in top 5 favourite quests.  After I finish I will almost certainly rate a 5!

[Russ]

No problem, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

[CyberGamer1539]

HA! I searched for the bombable wall for like, an hour total, and now I finally found it!!!  I don't know why it took me so long!!!! 

Yay!  I  beat Kracko with a half of a heart left!

[Russ]

Nice! I guess that extra heart container really helped out then. Only one more dungeon to go now.

I have a bug to report.

 

On Sky Tower 1st floor, you can walk on the sky on the screen just below the very top screen on the left side.  Sorry for not posting a picture, I don't know how.  If you could tell me how, I could post a picture.

[Russ]

No problem, I can figure it out without a picture. Thanks for pointing that out!

[CyberGamer1539]

No problem!  I'm also stumped on the room that (presumably) has the boss key.  You know, the one in the very top of the first floor.  You're a pretty good puzzle maker by the way!  The magnet is very unique, but also hard to figure out!

 

Edit: While I was typing the stuff before this my screen game sort of broke.  I hadn't saved in a while, so It might take a while for me to get back to this point.

Ouch, bummer. Sorry about that. ZC can be kinda stupid in ways I can't control sometimes. As for the puzzle, there's multiple solutions. There's the intended solution (which is really tough), a second solution Moosh figured out (still kinda hard but not as hard), and then a couple of others that rely on breaking ZC. If you just want a hint, you want some way to get an infinite loop going between the two at the upper right, then you need to move them both to the left while magic is bouncing between them so that you can flick the boomerang at one of them to cause it to hit the switch on the right. If you want the full solution, here you go.

I do love this puzzle though. It combines all the puzzle mechanics I've been teaching the entire game, from the very first dungeon to the last. A whole lot of thought went in to how to make this a truly great final puzzle.

[CyberGamer1539]

Ha!  I beat the game and got the best ending!  Yes!!!

[CyberGamer1539]

Well now that I got the best ending, I have one more question to ask: If I choose, say, the normal ending, will the boss fights be different?  I'm wondering if I should play through the game again for different endings.

[Russ]

No, if you get either of the other two endings, the game will simply end after the second phase of the final battle, which Dracus flying around, and you won't any of Dracus's exposition or the final phase of the fight. If you're wondering what the other endings are...

Spoiler

If you get to the final boss without having Rose with you (either you didn't talk to her at all in the morning (which changes some of the plot and causes you to not even explore the Blowhole, as she never gets kicked in)), then as the volcano explodes, Link doesn't allow Dracus to escape, killing them both. If you have Rose with you but don't find the Light Sword, Rose has her flashback and decides she's not running, but without the Light Sword, she's not too effective. Link escapes, but Rose and Dracus die in the explosion. In either case, Dracus is dead and the people of the island think they're saved, never realizing the truth, and Chase remains dead.

Glad you enjoyed the quest!

Can't figure out what I'm supposed to do in the Magma Sanctum at this point:

 

 

I've tried bomb jumping and magnet shotting the yellow steam in that room one up and one left of the enterance, but can't get to the other side.

[Moosh]

Dunk a darknut in the lava and see what happens. This room stumps a lot of players because they assume the enemies are only good for killing.

[hfloten]

Hi, Russ!

I'm stuck in the uppermost room in the Magma Sanctum; the one with the blue Darknut, and - I assume, the Boss Key. I really can't figure out how to solve that puzzle with the barrels... Could you help me, please?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

[Russ]

Sure thing! You wanna arrange the barrels to look something like this:



That should get you most of the way there. If not...

Spoiler

Using the middle barrel, pull the top block down one space, then using the left barrel, pull it left onto the switch. Now, using the right barrel, pull both blocks to the right. Once one of them is above the switch, use the middle barrel to pull it down onto the switch. Then use the right barrel again to finish dragging the last block onto the switch.
