The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest/Dodongo's Cavern: Difference between revisions

== The first visit to the central room ==

You can skip most of this dungeon by getting the bombs immediately upon entering. By jump slashing toward the green column hanging from the ceiling, you'll bounce off and land on the ledge with the bombs, enabling you to open the mouth early, thereby skipping the dungeon.}}

This Skulltula requires the Song of Time. Go in the room behind the bomb able wall in the giant pillar room. Keep on playing the Song of Time on the left side of the room. The Gold Skulltula is under the back most time block.

You come into a room with a giant pillar in the middle of it surrounded by bomb flowers and guarded by two Beamos. Picking up a bomb and throwing it at the Beamos will kill them. There is also another bomb able wall in front of the pillar. Use another bomb flower to destroy it and uncover yet another bomb flower. Use the torch near it, and a Deku Stick to cause it to drop, and quickly throw/set it in the gap between all the bomb flowers. If you do it right it will cause a chain reaction of bomb flowers causing the pillar to lower and reveal a staircase.

In the room with the three floating torches is a door that opens when all three torches are lit. In that room the Skulltula is in the crates on the right wall.

You find yourself in the central room again. Just jump across the bridge to the next room. In here there is a lit torch next to you, three unlit torches hanging on walls below you, and a golden torch on a platform in front of you. Drop down to the bottom and you will also find three blocks that you can push. Drag them beneath the torches so you have platforms you can jump on to be able to light the torches. Now climb up the ladder back to where you started, light a stick, and use it to light the three torches. This will cause the golden torch to light up.

This Skulltula requires bombs. In the back of the room where you first fought the Lizalfos is a line of boulders. Bomb the ones in the center to open a path to the Gold Skulltula.

This room has two blade wielding Lizalfos in it. The easy strategy is to just have them come to you, then hit them, and guard when they jump over you and attack. You can get about three hits on them before they switch off to the other. They don't take too long to get rid of, and from here on out, you should just get used to them. Once you kill them go through the eastern door.

This Skulltula requires the Boomerang. In the poe room is a door to the right of the entrance. Unlock the door by using the bomb chain on the pillar right if front of the door. Kill all the enemies inside, the Skulltula is in the top left corner of the room.

You'll be back in the room with the torches all over the place. Just jump across in front of you and move on. If you need another Deku Shield there is one in the chest to the left. Now you will be back in the central room again. Use the bomb flower where it is at to get rid of the boulders. Now if you look at the bottom floor to the left you should see another wall that can be bombed. Pick up the bomb flower, and jump down there. You will not drop the bomb so do not accidentally drop it or throw it. Just carry it over to the wall and throw/set it. If you mess up you can just ride the pillar that rises to the top to get back to the bomb flower.

This Skulltula requires the Boomerang. Near the wall of fire rings lying on top of the wall is a Golden Skulltula.

Now you will be back on the first floor of the central room. Ride the pillar back to the very top. Drop your bombs in the gaps on the bridge to turn the dead Dodongo's eyes red causing it's mouth to open. Going through the door brings you the the last big room before the boss.
