Go to the catacombs before Level 4, you will be glad you did.
You need the treasure of Level 4 for that tree. Just look at the southeastern part of the screen... there, behind the palm tree... Uncontrolled Blaze.

[Teilyr]

Do Oderra Catacombs first. It's a difficult place but, totally worth the effort.

Where is gate 4 switch in level 4? I�m stuck =(

I have map, compass and gates 1,2,3 opens... I found big key chest but i haven�t any keys.

Air Luigi, you need the Power Rod Upgrade Chip from Lv4 to get to the Gate 4 switch. And to get the Upgrade Chip, you need at least one key. One key is outside of the Fortress. You need to have Power Off and then go to the southern part of F2 and exit the level. There's your first key on the balcony.
The second key is in the northeast corner of F1. But getting there is veeeery complex. I can try to write a step by step guide for the key or even make a video if you guys have insurmountable troubles finding the key.

[CastChaos]

I found the key (It was crazy!) but where are gates 1, 2, 4? I guess the 5th is the entrance and it's already opened.

[Peteo]

Yeah, you're correct about the 5th gate.
Gate 1 is a few screens left from the entrance.
Gate 2 is about in the middle of the level.
Gate 4 is in the northwestern part of the level, one screen east of the screen with the Gate 3.

Now I'm in Horgrus temple. I have beaten every replica dungeon except the fortress one. How to kill the Gohma3? Even when it's eye is open, it's armored. Have I missed the L2 arrow in the caves? I thought I looked everywhere...

[Peteo]

Yeah, the Lv2 arrows, or HOLY Ice Arrows as they're called in the game, can be found from the cave part of Lv5. The arrows are somewhere on the southwestern part of the cave. You can also get the Red Mail with those new arrows if you want. But if you like a good challenge, then maybe you should try beating the final boss without the Red Mail first.

[CastChaos]

This is a TOO good challenge already... Plus I'm an item maximalist. I got the Red Mail after finding the arrows. Now, I think if I unlock the last closed door in the temple, I'm thrown to the final boss. As I just said, I'm an item maximalist. So, any subtle hint on the location of Master Dome and Fire Boomerang? I guess I can find the Cultist Cave after having the Fire Boomerang... I also can believe that there are more hidden places and dungeons. Oh, I yet need to find the 2 secret shops. I used spacebar to look through the swamp map, but I didn't find anything suspicious...

It's sure that I won't go deeper in the dungeon without getting al secret item and beating every secret dungeon!

Oh, and any subtle hint on where are the comeback HCPs in Level2, 3 and 4? I miss only 4 or 3 HCPs, I can't remember. I have 3 (I think) bomb upgrades.

As for the battle with Sigma Level 4... It has a big MMX6 feeling... When I saw the "true form" of the boss, I was like "I have to kill it before it infects nearby reploids!!!".

The story is great. It ever made me cry or overexcited, but it's really interesting and enjoyable. That black cloud is a funny guy... I never knew why didn't it kill me in the dungeon intros instead of chatting me, then I got the answer after the L4 boss...

So, please give subtle hints. A little less subtle than "I know you can find it! In your dreams, sucker..."

[Teilyr]

Hey . . Uh, still kinda lost in level 4, as stated in my last post. Would appreciate help.

I have the map, compass, gate 1 open, and can access the building with the flame chip.

I don't need specific help.. Just general guidance in the level.

[Zenith]

Teilyr: I think you...wait, that's not right...or do you...no...what was it?...I forget. I'm gonna have to play this again.

Castchaos: One of the Oderra Village locals tells you about the Cultists' Cave. You can get it now, it's not that hard. The Master Dome is actually in Glathriel Canyon. Let's just say there's a dead end with a magic-powered illusion. The shop? Look for an unusual pattern in the swamp. And the Fire Boomerang...I can't say anything about that or they'd *shot*

EDIT: Moved a sentence that was in the wrong spot.

Having a bit of trouble in level 3. There is this room with 2 switches and when you step on one of them, 5 bats appear and you have to kill them and you are timed. The problem is, after I kill all the bats, nothing else happens and then a few seconds later, 2 statues tell me that I am too slow and that I am not worthy of the treasure. Is there something else I am supposed to do after I kill the bats? Help is much appreciated.

The keeses are just obstacles. Hit the left statue with the boomerang and be extra fast.

I'm now tasting the biggest secrets of LI. I have the Shield of Ages. I couldn't find the secret shop in the swamp, nor at any other places. The skelettons speak about a very hard place, a place under Bhalstok and a place near Bhalstok. The "very hard place" should be the Master Dome, the "near Bhalstok" was the Cultist Cave but the "Under Bhalstok" one got me. I went back to Bhalstok but nothing. Maybe it's in the cave where the securely hidden key was? I hope not.

Now I'm in Master Dome. Without spoiling much... I got the map, compass and a key. I found 2 "neveropen" shutters and a locked door that can't be unlocked by the key. Now what? I think I went everywhere where I could... I'm really enjoying this dungeon! Believe it or not, the only thing that causes me problem (besides being stuck) are the Windrobes. I also found some fake(?) doors. Killing the enemies in a room does nothing.

[speeddeamon]

Oh thanks! I don't know how in the world I couldn't figure out t that you had to hit the statue. Got the ladder then got 2 more keys but, I still need one more to open up the boss key chest. Do you get 3 keys after you get the ladder? Or did I miss one in the beginning?

Edited by speeddeamon, 25 August 2007 - 05:53 PM.

[Peteo]

speeddeamon, you get 3 keys after getting the Ladder. One key is on F5, one is on F3 and for the 3rd one you have to go to the northeastern part of F1 and exit the level there and go thru a cave to get that last key.


CastChaos: One of the secret shops (the not so expensive one) was in that Cultist Cave, and the second one is at the southeast part of the swamp. Bomb the middle of the flower formation...
I'm sure the skeleton who talks about a hard place is referring to the master Dome. But about the Master Dome, well I'm not much of a help since even I haven't quite figured out the level yet. It's a crazy Wolfie creation and hopefully she can give you some tips.
And what comes to the Fire Boomerang, well don't you worry about that just yet.
*gives zmaster a cookie*


Teilyr, as I said in my earlier post:

One key is outside of the Fortress. You need to have Power Off and then go to the southern part of F2 and exit the level. There's your first key on the balcony.
The second key is in the northeast corner of F1. But getting there is veeeery complex. I can try to write a step by step guide for the key or even make a video if you guys have insurmountable troubles finding the key.

If you want more specific help, lemme know. Oh... one thing you should know though. The screen that is 1 screen north and 1 screen west from the entrance, that screen has those 2 flashing thingies on the ground. The other one is green, the other one is red. Shoot the red one with your Wand to trigger the secrets for that screen. Perhaps that screen got you stuck?
