the key to dynamite is don't pick it up if you can't hold it (1/4 of bomb bag capacity, I believe) and don't use it unless you think you are supposed to. you should be fine, there are plenty of hidden places to get more if you use it too much; it's really the first few you find that shouldn't be wasted, so you can access the top half of the map and the second half of the level nine rooms. if you only go back for keys and level-completed symbols after half-beating all of the dungeons, you'll have lots of extras. keep me posted!

[vravelo]

Yup. I finished six and now I'm on 7. I've been pretty careful with the dynamite although I did waste a couple. I hope you gave some margin for error. If I had to start over for that reason I'd probably give up.

I am in the same predicament at sctmorgan. I have completed the triforce but I cannot find the hammer. In fact, despite getting the triforce piece in L8, I believe I have only accessed five rooms. The dodongo room, the long narrow room right below it, the map room, the room below the boss room, and the boss/triforce room. That's it. The hammer would appear to open up the overworld more than any other single item. I would love to get it. The hookshot would be awesome too. And the L3 sword.

This is a strange quest. I loved it at the beginning. I'm a little more on the fence at this point.

[trudatman]

I believe you are missing one of the entrances to the eighth level. if I remember right, which may not be perfect due to changes since I've played the whole way through, there are three entrances in a row, two that you bomb open and one that gets the super bomb. along the bottom of the mountain that is level eight there's the boss entrance, the alternate entrance, the main entrance and a CD shop. I hope you are only on the fence due to being stuck and I hope the stuck part is temporary. maybe there should be a clue about accessing the rest of the level. the map is showing rooms you can't reach, right? that should be enough, I think, but I assume you are just missing the third entrance. holler!

When you enter level 8 go second room north, kill all foes -- if you look to the left you'll see a door
for going up,, enter that door this lead you to the outside, go right and up , then left 2 times
at this point you can see the hammer at the end,,, use your sword to slash those mushroom shaped bushes
if you need some pictures, I'll post it tonight

[trudatman]

is that where you were stuck, sctmorgan?

hmm... you were just here. oh, well. hopefully this help from Vravelo will guide you through what you are stuck on. I really hope I didn't screw something up with an update I didn't test properly. please let me know if this works out. holler!

Jeepers. I found a THIRD entrance to Level 8, this one utilizing a super bomb, and still no dice. All it does is lead me to the bottom part of the room below the triforce room. That's three entrances to Level 8, and I can still get absolutely nowhere in the level. Sorry trudatman, but I'm beyond frustrated with this quest.

wow, that's too bad. you have my phone number, you have the help of other people playing it (THANK YOU, V!) and you have a specific suggestion (below), so I really hope that's just being frustrated that will pass, but if it is my fault (either by poor design or by bad testing), I'm thankful for your finding trouble spots. either way, I need to know where the tough parts are, so thanks. you were positive before, so was it just level eight frustrations that make you want to bail? holler.

edit: this sounds right to me. middle entrance, two rooms up, has closed up and down doors, the up one opens and out you go. I'm in the process of moving, so I can't check by booting ZC/ZQ right now.

Vravelo, are you playing the 12/08 update or the 5/08 version?

V said he'd post screenies. I'll check them out. I assume there must be a FIFTH entrance to Level 8.

My frustration is just that at the beginning, I got stuck, but I was always able to find my way out, and usually missed something dumb. Lately, I have to keep coming to the help thread, and often still can't find my way. I know it's my own fault. I'm wondering if we're playing different versions. Did you make changes to Level 8 in your latest update? Is it possible that Level 8 is broken on the version I'm playing? Here are the four entrances I've found and where I can go from each, as specifically as possible.

Entrance 1: Go up the long ladder, regular bomb a wall on the first screen atop the ladder. The room this leads you to is the room with the compass, right below the triforce room. You kill the enemies, and can go north to the gleeok/triforce room, or east to the dodongo room. Those are your only options.

Entrance 2: You go up the long ladder, but go east one screen, and it drops you right into the dodongo room. From this room you can kill the dodongos, bomb one of the stautes, and get the map, but that seems to be all you can do.

Entrance 3: A superbomb one screen below entrance one. All you can go is go through a room with a bubble and a red darknut and into the aforementioned room below the triforce room, but you can't get anywhere once there.

Entrance 4. One screen below entrance 2. Identical room to entrance 3, except the darknut is blue. All it leads you to is the dodongo room yet again.

So there you go. There must be a fifth entrance? I'm really trying man.

....I'm wondering if we're playing different versions. Did you make changes to Level 8 in your latest update? Is it possible that Level 8 is broken on the version I'm playing?

exactly why I asked which he was playing. I don't remember changing anything as important as doors in level eight, so is the door not opening in the room that has the up and down doors on the top wall? it should be this room:

....kill the dodongos, bomb one of the stautes, and get the map, but that seems to be all you can do.

this doesn't seem quite right, but whatever, for now:

....Entrance 4....leads you to is the dodongo room yet again.

there should be a drop in entrance or two, but I'd like you to go to the rhino room again, if you are too frustrated. thanks, John. holler.

[SofaKing]

Yup. Went back to the dodongo room. There are two doors on the north wall, one on the far left and the other on the far right. After you kill the dodongos, you bomb the eye statue on the left and the door on the left opens. This leads you to a small room with the map. I haven't found any way to open the door on the right. I've bombed, arrowed, burned, done everything to the eye statue on the right, but that door stays shut.

[trudatman]

I may owe you and sctmorgan a big thanks and a big sorry if I instituted an unworkable update. give me a couple of days to fix it. take a break while we get a version check from Vravelo and I rebuild a PC to poke around the latest update. thanks for your patience and diligence, duder.
