Climb the vines and walls of the central room to the upper floors. The Slingshot chest is in a side room on an upper floor, guarded by a Deku Scrub – hold up your shield to bounce its nuts back at it.
Use the Slingshot to hit targets and enemies you could not reach before.
From the top floor, drop onto the large spider web in the middle of the central room to break through it and fall into the basement.
In the basement, light a Deku Stick at a lit torch and use it to burn spider webs and light unlit torches.
Before the boss, three Deku Scrubs must be defeated in the right order: 2, 3, 1 (middle, right, left). Bounce their nuts back with your shield.

Gohma's eye turns red before she attacks – that is when she is vulnerable.
Hit the red eye with a Slingshot seed to knock her down, then slash her eye with the Kokiri Sword.
When she climbs to the ceiling she drops eggs. Destroy the eggs and Gohma Larvae quickly, then look up and shoot her again when her eye turns red.

Deku Babas often drop Deku Sticks; carry a few for the webs and torches.
Your Deku Shield can catch fire from burning sticks or Fire Keese elsewhere – keep a spare 40 Rupees for a new one.
