Explorer's Crypt

From the entrance, head up. Go left and
around and take the door going up. The
room should now be dark. For now,
ignore it and go up. In this room you
have to get out of the room before the
torches go out. First off, use a Pegasus
Seed and a Bomb to blow up the lower
left wall. Exit the room then go back in.
Go through the left wall for a Compass.
Head back to the cursed room and
escape through the door going down.
Go back in and go right. Kill the enemies
to recieve a Small Key. Now go back
to the room right after the entrance and
unlock the door to the right. Kill the
monsters to recieve a Ring (which is
appraised as the Power Ring L-1).
Go up the ladder and light the torches.
The ghost will charge like a bull. Step
out of the way and spin attack it.
You will now notice that the curse on
the room north of the dark room is now
lifted. Push the rollers with the Power
Bracelet and go down the stairs. Head
left and push the button to reveal a
trampline. Push it down twice then jump
on it. Land to the left where the button
is and a Small Key will drop. Go down
and get it.
Head back to the right. Kill the armos
in there until you find a fake one. Push
that one onto the button and go down.
Take the stairs in that room. Ride the
platform and have your Magnet Gloves
set on S. When you come to the block,
use them to push you to the other side.
Go up and equip your shield. Hold it
and cross the bridge. The blocks will
start to fly at you. Once across, go left.
This part is pretty tricky. You have to
align the statues in a circle around the
blue square. To do so, press the lower
side button, the left bottom button, the
upper side button, and the right bottom
button. This will cause a Small Key to
come down. Go back right and down
across the bridge. Make your way to the
stairs and up them again.
Unlock the door going down. Push the
left and right blocks out of the way and
push the trampoline 3 spaces left and
1 up then jump on it. Go left to get a
Dungeon Map. Go back down and
unlock the door to the right. Use a
Pegasus Seed and quickly light the 4
torches. Another ghost will appear.
Avoid its eplipical movement and spin
attack it (1 spin with the Red Ring).
Once it dies, head west 2 rooms.
Dive under the rollers to the stairs. Go
left from there. Kill the soldier on the
right and use the Magnet Gloves to pull
the ones across the pit into the pit. A
bridge will appear. Cross it and go up.
Hit the switch to start the spinning poles.
Go around to them and with the Magnet
Gloves, quickly hop from pole to pole
to the trampolines. Hop on the blue one
first and kill the stalfos. Hop down and
onto the red one.
Go through the door and quickly hop
on the platform. Hop to the middle to
recieve the Roc's Cape. This allows you
to glide 3 spaces when you hold the
button. Head back and jump down
either pit. Go down and right to the
stairs. Go under the rollers going right
and up. Take the stairs. Hop on the
ride and use the Magnet Gloves again.
Cross the bridge and use the Roc's
Cape to go across the pits to the right.
Kill the Magnet Monsters and a
trampoline will appear. Push it 3 spaces
up and jump on it. Land on the platform
and use the Magnet Gloves to push the
N ball to the button to make a chest
appear. Grab the Small Key inside. Go
left and push the armos on the button.
Go down twice and left. Swim under the
rollers to the stairs.
Let the blocks destroy themselves before
unlocking the block. Glide from one
block to the next to the platform and
go down. Head down and around to the
Moldorm Pit. If you have a Roc's Ring,
equip it. Kill the Moldorms and go
down. Using a Pegasus Seed and the
Roc's Cape, jump to the button to open
the door. Move the block and go to
the door to the right.
You will see the 2 ghost you fought
before. This fight is easy with the Red
Ring or even the Charge Ring. Sidestep
both ghost and spin attack them as they
pass. If all 4 torches go out, you will be
warped back to the beginning of the
dungeon. Keep at least 2 lit at all times.
It is best to stay between the right or
left torches so that you can light them
with the Slingshot. It doesn't take much
to kill them. Grab the fairy and go right.
Kill the Wizzrobes before going
anywheres. Take the upper stairs at
the door, and then the next set. At the
set of 3, take the lower right one. Follow
and at the next set of 3, take the right
one again. Take the left one and follow
to the upper right corner of the bottom
floor. Go up and use the Magnet Gloves
to make your way to the platform.
Jump across the pit and go up. Kill the
monsters to recieve a Small Key.
Go back down and across the pit. Take
the platform and go right. Push the last
upper block into the pit and go up and
unlock the door. Go around to the
middle and when you come to the pit,
use a Pegasus Seed to jump to the last
button. Wait for the seed to wear off
then jump to the top one. Jump to the
middle one to make the platform appear.
Go up and push the button to make a
trampoline appear.
Jump on the trampoline and land on the
platform. Go the left side and down the
stairs. Slash both crystals and go back
up. Take the right stairs this time and
make sure that both crystals are red.
This will open the door. Glide over to it.
Kill the stalfos and grab the Boss Key.
Make your way back to the stair maze.
Go until you come to a set of 3 stairs.
Take the bottom one and make your way
to the boss room.
Gleeok is pretty tough. Stand back and
when the coast is clear, spin attack it.
Make sure that after you HIT one head
to go and hit the other. If given time, one
defeated head can reform. Watch out
for their fireballs and when both heads
are gone, equip the Roc's Cape. Gleeok
will jump around and cause a tremor
when it lands. Keep slashing and it will
soon die. Grab the Heart and the Seed
of Life.
