Upgraded Equipment & The Lost Woods

Now that you have the Magnet Gloves,
head to Subrosia. At 5-A, use your
Gloves to the first pole. Go right to get
a piece of Blue Ore. If you make your
way to the lower left corner of 5-A, dig
for a ring.
Once you have the Blue Ore, head to
6-I. Use the Magnet Gloves to pull
yourself across the pit. Go into the cave
and up. Grab the Red Ore. Now head
to the Great Furnace at 5-J. Talk to the
chief and he will fuse your Red and Blue
ores to make a Hard Ore. Now with
that, head to the Subrosian Smithy in
4-D. Talk to the manager and tell him
to "Do whatever." He will then make an
Iron Shield out of the Hard Ore.
Now time to continue. If you have a
Members Card, you can buy a treasure
map at th Horon Shop. If you are reading
this walkthrough, then do not buy one.
I'll help you do it without the map. Go
south of the Hero's Cave and shoot the
torch with an Ember Seed to make a
bridge appear. Go south and use a
Mystery Seed on the bones. Kill the
Moldorm to get the X-Shaped Jewel.
Head to Mt. Cucco. Change the season
to Spring and head west to the flower
to reach the Dancing Dragon Dungeon.
Dive at the spot on the northeast corner
to reach a Pyramid Jewel.
Head to Holodrum Plain. Go south from
Ricky's home into the water and climb
the ladder into the house in the tree. Talk
to the man inside and he will give you
the Round Jewel. This jewel can only
be gotten at this point in the game.
Head to Spool Swamp and change the
season to Winter. Go south to 8-A
and bomb the wall there. Inside is the
Square Jewel. Now that you have all
4 jewels, warp to the entrance of spool
swamp (with a Gale Seed). Go east
then north. Place the 4 jewels in their
slots and the door to the Lost Woods will
open. Head north.
Change the season to Summer then
climb the vines. Go west then go down
the vines. Push the statue to make a set
of stairs appear just out of reach. Go
back to the stump and change the season
to winter. Go back west and hop on
the snow pile and climb the stairs. Push
the 2 bottom armos onto the ice then
change the season to autumn. Go east
and into the cave behind the mushrooms.
Deflect the seeds of the scrub and listen
to its words.
Head back to the water and head north.
Pull the mushrooms and head west.
Go south twice and burn the shrub.
Play the Phonograph for the scrub and
he will tell you to go west while
temperatures rise to go to his secret spot.
Head out and go north the west. Change
the season to winter and head west.
Then autumn, then spring, then summer,
all going west. You should then see the
Noble (or Master) Sword. Grab it.
Head back to the middle stump. Change
the season to Winter and go west.
Change to Autumn and go south. Change
to Spring and go east. Change to summer
and go north. This should cause you to
go to the Tarm Ruins. Head east. Kill
the Ball & Chain trooper (zaps with the
Noble sword work good). Change the
season to Winter and go south, east,
then north. Head west. Push the lower
armos out of the way then jump down.
Change the season to spring and use
the flower to shoot yourself back up.
Go west across the bridge and meed
with a mysterious, dark man. He will
say that their plan is to revive the Evil
King. He then disappears. Evil King?
He can't mean HIM, can he? Well,
don't wory about it for now. Enter the
Ancient Ruins.
