Hey guys,
thanks for continually updating things Shadow.

I stopped in the Deku tree some time ago because I simply couldnt get further. I heard the game was finishable, even though i found a water warp bug in the Deku tree that I thought was quite significant at the time (If I pick this up again I will screenshot it, I remember it works when one direction is pushed in Deku, but broken when other direction is active... I know that's not specific enough, I'll get screenie).

Anywho, I made it to the second floor of the Deku and didn't make progress from there. Any pointers? Does it matter which direction is active when you begin the second floor, or do you have to backtrack? ANY pointers on what to do once getting to 2F would be much appreciated, I may revisit this game since it's being updated.

Thanks much.

Oh man! I might have to revisit this game. Thanks for keeping this updated Shadow Tiger.

[ShadowTiger]

No problem, Mr. Entity. 'tis a fine quest, and deserves to be bug-free. ^^.

Corona - I'll see if I can get a map of the first and second floors together. Technically there are four variations - One copy for each direction the "plus traps" (For lack of a better word) are facing.

Better yet, there are also boss repeats, where you have to face two of the nightmare bosses at the same time, in the same room, to unlock and further progress into the dungeon.


Boss Key: Traps-North. Second floor, southern-central screen.
Final Boss Door Door: Traps-East. Second floor, two screens to the east of the above.

The swim warp to the final boss room area is on the second floor, three screens to the south of the north-west-most screen.


Download The Maps.

There aren't really any differences, structurally, between the floors. Just a few utility screens, and item visibility differences.


EDIT: I've already fixed up a few warp errors in the Deku Tree dungeon. Good stuff.

Wow, thanks for your quick work Shadow.

Just so you know I've been playing on the 192 B183 Build of ZC

To get the updated deku tree do i just DL your latest file or is that only for the new updated version of ZC?

Thanks for your efforts! I really am close to finishing this amazing game, woot.

[ShadowTiger]

Oh, actually, this version can be played in RC3. It's near the top of the ZC Discussion Forum. I also linked to it a couple of my posts back.

Definitely don't use that version for the build I'm working on now. You can (probably) use the version you have with this version if you don't want to download RC3, but I'm not going back to 183. It crashes too much for me, and RC3's ZQuest is so much ... less ... ... horrible.

[corona]

In order to use the RC3 I would have to start my save file over, correct? If so, heck naw! Took me so long to get to the deku tree. I'll try and finish it this way, hopefully your maps and pointers will allow me to do just that.

I have not revisited any bosses yet, and I know im supposed to play the whistle in rooms w/o corruption. I found one room like that (looked like the deku tree from when you first start the game) and blew the whistle and nothing happened. Perhaps a bug? Perhaps not? I'll look into it further tonight.

Thank you.

[ShadowTiger]

I believe you can use your current save file in RC3. (Make a backup anyway.) If not, I'd be more than happy to just create a new save file for you that situates you in roughly the right spot. I don't mind at all.

Oh and I just looked at the room that has no corruption, and the whistle flag works in all four "trap directions" of the room. The warps work.

Unbelievable , be careful when dragging "" zc.sav'' file
It cracked my head,,, that was the problem -- deleted and game is working good!!

Yeah, to make a backup of it, click it, hit "F2" to rename, then .. well, rename it to "backup of zc.sav" or whatever. ZC will hopefully create a new zc.sav file. It'll be blank of course.


EDIT: this version contains the fixes to the Deku Tree. It also makes it a tiny bit easier to see which lamp you need to light during the final boss.

[corona]

I just DLed the RC3 build, sand tried to import my 193 build save file to it (by renaming zelda.sav to zc.sav) and it said it found the save file but cannot open it. Is there any way around this?

If not, shall I send you a screenshot of my items/progress Shadow so you can kindly make up a save file for me?

Thanks much.

[ShadowTiger]

Absolutely. Sounds good. Did you rename the file as it asked though? Been so long I'm not sure if it'll help.

[corona]

This is my progress, so I guess a short summary of what I would need is:

access to jungle
access to deku tree 2nd floor shortcut via jungle
the infinite key thingymabobber

all else should be shown there

thank you so much, also feel free to PM it to me if you dont want a save to the deku tree open to the public, they would be missing an amazing and frustrating 30 hours of the game to get there.

Thanks so much.

P.S. What is that one item im missing (excluding the relic of course)

[ShadowTiger]

That item would be the boots. They aren't in the quest, though.

Anyway, Latest quest file, complete with a tiny water fix, and a shortcut under the Hall of Statues to bypass the stupidly lengthy series of mazes for which I have never found the solution to.

A save file is being PM'd to you right now.

[corona]

wowowowow! Thank you so much, and also, quite impressed you were able to chock that up so quickly... I'll let you know if there's anything missing/amok. Thank you!

[vravelo]
