Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland/Deku Forest: Difference between revisions

As usual, Pinkle will contact Tingle. When you're back in control again, head north. Tingle will see a plant that ought to remind you of the oysters on Sunshine Seashore. The Look-What-I-Found Kid is trapped inside, so try getting him out of the Vitampin Plant like you got Snatched Pearls out of the oysters. Pay 250 rupees for the Deku Forest map. Now head south, past the landing spot, and then west. Keep walking to find a house. This is Junglo's house and Tingle is going to need his help to proceed on this island. Junglo is not home though, so keep walking up two stairs and follow the path. At the end there is a waterfall, where Junglo seems to be in trouble; go ahead and help him. Tingle will than be asked if he will escort Junglo back home. Also if there is a bodyguard present Junglo also asks you to lose him. Say yes to both to proceed. The path you just traced from Junglo's house is now filled with blue insects. Be careful as Junglo will die if he gets in any fights, Tingle must sneak by or rumble each insect without assistance. When Junglo gets back to his house he will ask Tingle how much he wants as a reward. Ask 2000 rupees.

Pass the landing post and head south, then west. The Journalist is found fainted again, this time knocked off by Oinkers. Head back to hometown and go to Bella, select the "Sweet Fragrance" topic and pay her 650 to get the Sweet Juice recipe. Go home to make the juice, however if Tingle doesn't have Sour Watermelon; Walk around Deku forest and you're bound to find some. Go back to Deku Forest and revive the Journalist. Ask for 1600 as a reward for saving him.

East of where Tinkle found the Journalist, Duke is waiting for Tingle to pay his bridge building wages. 699 rupees will do and Tingle will then have a bridge between Lon Lon Meadows and Deku Forest.

Continuing to the southwest from where the Journalist was saved, Tingle will find another Oinker camp. Using the Oinker snout to gain access has Tingle facing off against 2 more Oinker warriors. Lure them into charging a wall or each other and then rumble'em! The Oinker totem breaks open, and inside Tingle will find a Dazzling Brooch. Just east of the Oinker camp is the Deku Orb, mark it and tap out a few rupees.

Tingle's next stop should be the Deku Tree, located in the north east of the Deku Forest, just past the Forest Maze. To start, head just north west of the Deku Forest landing point. Spot the Junglo Bell, which Tingle can mark off on his map. When Tingle rings it, Junglo will appear; imagine that! Tingle will explain that he wants the bridge fixed, and Junglo will only need 300 rupees to "fix" the bridge.  

Following the path from the "fixed" bridge toward the north western section of the Deku Forest will have Tingle spotting the Salon and Forest Maze rather easily. There is a silly archery type mini game to be found here; in an odd, lofty, dig-able patch of land. Are you a bad enough dude to try it?  

To proceed, head along the winding path east towards the Forest Maze, where there is yet another Junglo Bell to ring. Mark it on your map, and give it a tug. Junglo will appear and offer to give Tingle tips to finishing the Forest Maze... for a price. If Tingle wants to keep his rupees (and lets face it, he does) decline his offer and simply enter the Forest Maze. Once inside; exit each screen in these directions: Up, Left, Left, Up, Left, Up, Right, Right, Down, Right, Up, Right, Up.  

Head to the south west, and down the stairs you'll find there to B2. It’s noticeably darker on this floor and Tingle will come across an odd shaped plant siren rather quickly. The siren will open if Tingle or his bodyguard get close, and summon plant monsters if too close. Make your way up the southern most Red root ladder in this room and step on the switch. The light level will increase, causing the red roots to shrivel and the green roots to grow. That one switch flip is enough to get every rupee out of this area and also hit the button in the northwest of the room. Head back upstairs once Tingle has hit the switch in the northwest.

When Tingle enters the center room, 3 different coloured roots will break the soil surrounding the ladder down. Something must not want Tingle to go down there! Luckily, other ladders were also opened when Tingle hit the switch on B2.  

Junglo will sell Tingle some clues on how to create Vitamins! He pays 2,000 for Vitamins, so it is worth the time. If Tingle has some leftover Scrap Broth, great! If not, travel back to the house, waste some ingredients (use moss since that has very little use) and pick up at least 2; Take a larger multiple of 2 if Tingle has plenty of empty bottles. To start the process, simply drop the Scrap Broth on the Forest Clams; One is located by the baboon bridge and the other is located northwest of Junglo's house. After the water has been supplied, its just a matter of time before Tingle can collect the Vitamins! Check back after his next extended adventure to be happily surprised that Tingle is richer than you think!

Digging for fun and profit: Tingle can dig up some interesting items in Deku Forest. OK, not that interesting, but Tingle can still dig em up! Just south of the Deku temple, Tingle can dig up a Pirate Chest ''and'' Explosive Claws! Sweet deal! Around the Pink Tree west of there, Tingle can dig up Twisted Tusks! On the south side of the forest: Tingle can dig up some Gelatine in the soft patch under the 3 Gelatine monsters, albeit somewhat rarely. Hey, it’s better than taking Gelatine to the face. Near the Deku Orb Tingle can dig up Amethysts, and pretty frequently too! They are worth 150 rupees to the Jeweler, and also a find way to kill time while waiting on Vitamins.

Junglo is selling this information for roughly 1,500 rupees, but if Dialogs are of no importance, simply enter the Maze and follow these directions; right, up, right, down, down, right, down, left, down, left, up, left, up. Inside this area is a chest containing an Empty Bottle, exiting the area will find Tingle outside the Maze; No need for bread crumbs.

Sour Watermelons, you'll thank me later: Before Tingle Travels off to further fame and fortune, don't forget a few of the little guys! Having a dozen or so Sour Watermelons before you leave the First Continent is my recommendation. It will save Tingle time and money in the long run, not to mention keeping the game flow that much tighter. If you're curious; some Sweet Potatoes, Power Garlic, and Aroma Toadstools are worth having in stock as they do not appear elsewhere. Large Shells are also easier to collect in Cape Treasure, but they can be found in the Second continent regardless.
