Got a bug in Volcano Island.



The screenshot shows Link stuck & can't get out of the water in that area.

I am missing one key to the boss key in Lvl 8. I fogot which dungeon (Lvl 1 to 7) I am missing the extra key.
It seems the extra keys are not serving a good function at this point. It would be more effective to just get keys in each dungeon, rather than waste time trying to backtrack to get that extra key.

DFW put in the extra key for a couple reasons.
- To make all the previous levels required to beat Level 8
- In case the player accidentally got stuck without a key or something

The missing key could honestly be anywhere if you don't know which levels you haven't gotten it. I kept track of levels where I was missing the extra key so I could go back and get it later, and that worked well.

Still seems like a waste of time to backtrack extra keys.
Master Dome is really amazing but I hate the room with the wind wizzrobes. I been spending hours trying to clear them but managed to clear the first two rooms, the third room remains uncleared yet. In this room, it seems I can't kill the wind wizzrobes as they seem to remain at a constant 6.

you manage to find the oddest bugs, I tried to replicate that bug at volcano island, but couldn't. Not sure how you did it. As for the extra keys, I knew at least one person would complain about the backtracking. But from a design point of view, with it all being non-linear, I 'HAD' to do it this way. Because I didn't want any players stuck in this quest. Sorry about the backtracking, but it was a necessary evil to make the quest playable for players who like to get themselves stuck with keys.

I mean you don't see the point of my argument, how can players get stuck if all necessary keys are found in the dungeon hehe? Yes I picked up all kind of weird bugs as I like exploring in the weirdest places hehehe

*staff edit: potential spoilers, highlight to see*
Anyway I went ahead to clear Lvl 8 but end up in somewhere strange with ??? & I went to the W***m*** & defeated Ganon? I thought I'm supposed to clear the Master Dome & Isle of the Wind.

If you beat Ganon, you should understand everything. Didn't the fairy appear?

[Ielen]

*staff edit: potential spoilers, highlight to see*
Hehe I didn't defeat Ganon yet...just saw him & accidentally quit...I assumed he will be defeated....
Will replay later again.

Anyway here's another bug.



Link walks automatically by himself after being hit by the enemies. This time Link is stuck at the screen moving left & right repeatedy and I can't move Link down.

leave it to Ielen to ruin a nice surprise for many people.

EDIT: that sounds like a controller issue Ielen.

Well, I edited all the posts, so are we happy now DFW?

[DarkFlameWolf]

happy until the walkthrough, which, I guess, you can freely unveil the surprise.

[Teilyr]

Ielen, as for your issue, I have the same problem with my keyboard..

If you're stuck going up, for example, press up. You'll be able to move again after you do.

[Ielen]

I sincerely apologise for intentionally revealing the surprise.
Anyway everything worked out fine, I found the extra key (the only one I was missing) & I cleared Master Dome.

Teilyr, I tried diong that but it didn't work.
Those two last screenshots I posted seems to be having that controller problem.

well, I knew for a fact, that given certain gameplay requirements, not completing the Master Dome IS possible. You can complete all other levels completely, but there are TWO keys in the special event that can change things drastically and make it IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to complete the Master Dome. But since its such an optional and trivial part of the quest, it was not a valid issue. Now if that problem occured with a required level, I'd have a problem with it. So its up to the player if they want to mix and match keys found in dungeons. (like find 3 keys in level 3, use them in levle 5, use keys foudn there in level 2, etc.) And gather extra keys from Master Dome to complete any section of the required dungeons you haven't finished yet. So all in all, its Master Dome that can potentially get screwed over here. But as said earlier, its not required, so its not a big issue for me. It may be to a player, but it wasn't my problem they misused a key or two from 'said special event'. For those who have played the quest you all know which event I'm talking about!

EDIT: Ielen, now that you have access to the master key, I hope you finish level 9 as it was intended to be finished before buying that master key.

Will do that, but I need to locate missing HC pieces. Still haven't found the paths where the statue's & mermaid's eyes meet yet.
