Well, I'm not sure if anyone is reading this anyways, but I shall continue. After this update will be a new issue of the Clock Town Times!
Woodfall
Now it is time to tackle Woodfall temple. We do this by warping (thanks Owl!) to the last place we went. We stand on a little wooden platform with a Deku face on it and play the Sonata of Awakening.
Up appears Woodfall Temple from underneath the poisoned swamp.
Okay so we take the flower and fly over to Woodfall Temple. Before I did that, though, I went ahead and smashed some jars and got myself a fairy which I didn't need to use. Yay!
There are 15 stray fairies to collect. The first one is right at the entrance. I just put on my Great Fairy Mask and it flies right to me. Or you can use a flower to fly over it. The next one is a flower and a treasure chest away.
The next thing to do is just fly to the other end of the room and head straight through the door. The next room is filled with poison water and we will be using Deku Link. Not only because the water is poisoned but because the "lilly pads" are actually monsters who eat human link, but leave Deku Link alone. There are two deku baba enemies that need to be defeated. The first because it gives you a stick, which we will soon need, and the second because it gives you the third stray fairy!
Smash the jars and find the fairy! To the left of that platform is a platform with a door. What do we do with doors? Enter them! Here we just have to float across to the other end of the room and enter... ANOTHER DOOR!!! Here we have a mini-boss fight. It is called a snapper den. The snappers are those enemies that tell you to get bent. The way they are defeated is by entering a flower as Deku Link and waiting for the turtle to roll over the flower. When it is above you, pop out. That simple.
Once that is complete, we obtain the Dungeon Map!
Once we exit back in to the other room, we just need to hop on to the Deku Flower and fly over to the platform with the golden treasure chest. it has a small key. On the wall next to the chest (which I had a hard time finding) is a beehive. The beehive appears to be in the mouth of the weird wall picture guy. Bubble blast it to find another fairy!
next we go back to the area with the Bubba that we attacked and found a fairy inside. Behind him is a locked door. We can now open it with the key we got.
This room has a lot of water with a few small walkways going around the room. There is a big block with a picture of Majora's Mask on it that is blocking the way. Just push it forward, its nothing too complex.
In the right hand corner there is a Skullwhatever that needs to be defeated. I personally find it easier to defeat him using Deku Link, but sharky seems to prefer slashing at him as regular Link. Either way, attack when his back is facing you and when he is defeated, we collect another stray fairy!
See the torch next to him? We need this. But there are angry killer moths guarding it. So just use the Blast Mask to dispose of them. Really a Blast Mask is really quite handy and it doesn't run out, unlike bombs. So do that and then use the stick I mentioned earlier and set it on fire with the torch. Run to the other end of the room and light the torch, which will open up the door next to it.
In this room is another mini-boss fight! It is two dragonflies which can be a pain in the butt. What I do is just Z target as Deku Link and shoot them with bubbles.
Or, you can obviously attack with Link for the Deku Link haters out there. I find that method a little more dangerous though, because you have to get closer. Whichever way you choose to do it, it will give you the compass! Which I don't really care about anyways!
Now we have to light another stick and go up the stairs next to the room we exited (where we lit the torch). There, Bunny Hooded Link does flips across several platforms and burns up a spider web which was blocking our path.
What I do here is just spin around the room as Deku Link like a madman, because you can't see them very well, but they all need to be defeated. Once they are all defeated, a chest will apear with another fairy! Now we have to go around in circles lighting up more torches. Pnce we do, a door will open.
The next room involves lots of skilled Deku flying, which I did, quite impressively. After I got attacked and knocked to the ground by a Dragonfly. Those need to be defeated before the fun flying. Once you get to the other side, just go downstairs.
Now we are back in the posion, man eating lily pad room, but we are on the upper level. There is a fairy to the left (?), just pop the bubble, put on the fairy mask and snatch it!
If you go back to the door and go straight forward from it, there is a switch that you should step on to make a shortcut from the upper and lower levels. Enter the door to the East for another mini-boss fight.
Basically you will fight off against a lizard man. There are a few ways to defeat him, but the battle is really simple. Just slash him with your sword and avoid his fire breath. He goes down after a few hits.
Once he is defeated, we get our Hero's Bow!!! Yay! I love this item. So let us exit back to the previous room. If you look around, you will eventually see an eyeball. Shoot it with your new bow.
This will cause a flower platform to repeatedly lower and rise. Hope on to it and fly across the way once it is up high.
Now it's time for..... ANOTHER MINI-BOSS! This is the most difficult one so far, but it isn't so hard once you get in the swing of things.
You will face off against a mean looking frog on one of the get bent turtles. First thing though, he tries to attack you solo. Just hit him with your sword a little bit. Then he will call his friend to start charcging in to you. So hop in the Deku Flower and pop up when they are directly over you. The frog will fall off and start climbing the walls. Z target and shoot it with your arrows.
Once it is defeated, it turns in to a smaller frog, and we now have access to the chest in the room. It contains the Boss Room Key.
We exit and head back to the poison water room where there is a big wooden flower in the middle. Here, we have to shoot our bow through the flame torch in front of it, on to the torch in the middle of the flower thing. It's actually a pain in the butt because I'm awful at aiming.
This causes the flower to raise up and start spinning. It also cleanses the water in the temple, meaning we can now swim where we couldn't swim before.
Now for another incredibly difficult part of the dungeon, we get to stand in the middle of the moving platform and shoot through the flame in to the torch in a corner of the room. I got lucky and did it in two shots this time. I normally waste all of my arrows and have to go get more.
Now we fly over to the platform next to taht torch and step on to the button, revealing another fairy! After that, we head back to the room with the narrow walkways and the water and the torch lighting with the skeleton dude thing. Bcause now that the water is no longer poisoned, we can get some more fairies!
Under one of the platforms (looking up) is a beehive. Shoot it down to get another fairy! Then there is the one under the bridge. I've used a walkthrough to make sure I got everything for my playthrough (while adjusting the order of certain things for my own preference) and it makes this fairy overly complicated. Something about facing the right direction and shooting it with the bow and...
just swim in to it. Just swim in to the fairy. And there we go!
Now we can head back to the area that brings us through the final door. Last room before the boss. And its a pain. Maybe not for everyone, but for me it is.
I'm going to shorten it by saying, there are Deku Steps that you have to fly up and you can collect another three fairies that way.
Next we have to get rid of the Dragonflies. They like to hang out in areas where we have to fly around a lot. Now the complicated part is lining yourself up just right to land in the perfect areas for certain things. You have to shoot a crystal so that the flames covering one of the fairies (and also the platforms you need to use) disapear for a few minutes. Then you have to work fats and make your way over there.
That is our Boss. He makes weird noises, dances around, and has more attacks than a boss should. There's many different strategies to defeating him, so I'll just give you mine: Attack him in some way shape or form. I'm actually not clear on his attack patterns and what works when and why. So I shoot him witha rrows, slash him with my sword, throw bombs at him, the whole bit.
Anyways he dances around and incredicle speeds, slashes you with a giant sword, summons killer moths, summons other bugs, and traps you in rings of fire. So yeah just... keep attacking. Something will work eventually.
A few strategies use the Deku Mask, but I've never used it. Especially not with the flame ring that pops up on you which is instant death for Deku Link.
