Walkthrough
- 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.
Boss: Queen Gohma
- 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.
Tips
- 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.
