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

Upon entering the Deku Tree area Tingle will converse with the Deku Tree himself... herself... itself. After subtly questioning if Tingle is really a human, the Deku Tree will inform TIngle that he must enter its depths and retrieve the Life Dew. Of course, first Tingle must pay to open both the Tree itself and the Gate to the Deku Temple. Offer the Tree 1 rupee and the Gate 1500 rupees. Hopefully Tingle has a few hundred extra rupees left over and a bodyguard handy too.

Head Southwest 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.

That room is extremely lucrative! Triggering both of the sirens and getting all four black flowers in the same dust cloud will yield several Purple Rupees. What does this mean? Well, with an Assertive bodyguard, Tingle can fight them over and over again, winning Rupees at a much faster rate than losing them. And if your bodyguard is defeated, you can easily pay to revive. It's not a bad idea to grind here to pass the time while waiting for your Vitamine.

When Tingle enters the center room, 3 differently colored 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.  

Taking the Northwestern ladder down to B3 Tingle will find a hand statue just west of the ladder. Rumble with some green flowers to the south, then head east. Hug the west wall up to the cog, and try to spin the bronze gate open. 3 green plants will pop up and will want to rumble. After Tingle finishes them up, open the gate fully. The far west room has a locked door, and behind the door a chest with a Rupee Good! Through the gate is a ladder down to Secret Room 1.

Mini Boss, Giant Red Vine: Choose a corner, and dismiss the plants from existence. Wait for Vine to toss some mushrooms at Tingle, pick one up, then feed one to it. Repeat this 3 times and head back to the central room.

Taking the Southeastern ladder down to B4, Tingle will find himself in a room of bumpers and black flower monsters. Take them out, and on the west side of the room go south. You'll find a green chest, inside containing all the money the Deku Tree has been saving up for the Forest. For me, it was just 1 rupee. North from there Tingle will find a Large boulder, which can be moved with a Large body guard to find a chest with a Rupee Good! And just slightly beyond that is a Hand statue in case you need to escape and restock (or change your bodyguard!).

The next room has Tingle shut in, against 2 black flowers and a pink one who shoots seeds. Rumble'em! The three grey orbs on the wall will light up white with each one defeated, then flash white and grey while the doors open to indicate Tingle won. Toss a bomb at the pillar to the south, POW good job. Hug the walls to make your way through the spike rooms, and either dash by or rumble the pink flowers. Head down the ladder to Secret Room 2.

Mini Boss, Giant Yellow Plant: Pick one corner of the room, rumble the green and pink plants and repeat as necessary. When they are both not present, wait for the Giant Yellow Plant to toss mushrooms at Tingle, pick one up, and feed it to him. Repeat this 3 times, defeat him, and head back to the central room.

Taking the Northeastern ladder down to B5, you notice again its darker. There are tons of sirens on this floor, and I really hope you've got a good sense of their range and a smart bodyguard. While the lights are off, take the first northern path Tingle finds to locate a Red vine ladder, and past that a Hand statue and a light switch. Hit the switch and proceed to the chests. On the right 1000 and on the left... TRICK! Hand over 200 rupees and an Ancient Coin is Tingle's!

After that, head to the far west and after rumbling a few plants to open a door, then turn the lights on. The chest furthest east has 640 rupees in it, with a Green vine ladder leading up to it.

Find the large bronze gate near this room's center, and dispatch the pink flower. Quickly take the green root ladder located east of the gate up. Once up there, Tingle will be able to open the gate by tapping on the cog. Do this quickly, as the pink flower will be back. If you're fast you can take a hit from the pink flower, get back on the cog, and open it a little bit before taking another seed to the face. Find Tingle's way through the bronze gate once its open and head down the ladder to Secret Room 3.  

Mini Boss, Giant Purple Vine: Pick one side of the room, clear the small flowers, and feed the Giant Green Vine his own mushrooms 3 times. Head back to the central room after.

Once in the central room, take the uncovered ladder down to B6 to learn that the Life Dew has been polluted! Time for action! After pressing the switch just below the door to the left, have Tingle jump in the giant chest way to face...

Boss, Fierce Tricolour Flower Bana Bana: The plants will toss their 3 different types of mushrooms at Tingle, and it's his mission to use the springy plant to deliver the correct mushroom to the correct plant. The Red mushrooms are probably the most dangerous, but all in all taking out each one is fairly simple. Tingle's bodyguard will happily deflect the spike spheres that are increasingly dispensed from the center hole on Bana Bana, letting Tingle breeze to mushrooms and then the closest Springy Plant. Once launched, just aim the center of the screen for the correct one of Bana Bana's mouths. 3 mushrooms for each head and you're done! Collect 9000 rupees, the Super Rupee and grab some purified Life Dew!

Up top, after tossing a Life Dew on the heir of Deku Forest it's time to collect Tingle's reward; 6000 rupees! After pocketing the his reward, change bodyguards then head back into the Deku Temple for one of the 2 Bodyguard reliant items you missed! Otherwise, Return Home and toss 18000 rupees into the Tower's pond. You can now travel to Steamy Marsh.
