1) Introduction

Hi there again!!! One more time, and as always, I'm here to
help you... Someone e-mailed me to make this mini FAQ (I'll
give you some credit, at the end), so... I'm here to please
you my faithful and loyal readers.

Skulltullas, keys, and items will be in capital letter for
a more confortable and easier search....

This is the first and last version, written in January 25-
26 1999.

Ah, as always, see last section for details to contact me.


2) Shadow Temple Walkthrough (including gold skulltullas).

How to find it:

Well, easy... after beating the Water Temple go to Kakariko
Village... you'll see... Sheik, who will teach you the
Nocturne of Shadow, use it to warp to the back of the
graveyard. Now you're at the temple entrance.

Use Din's Fire to light all torches simultaneously to open
the door. Enter the temple...

Note: I recommend you already have the Lens of Truth from
the Bottom of the Well level (if you don't have them, e-
mail me and I'll specify...) and the Scarecrow's song (if
you don't have it e-mail me or see my Fire Temple
Walkthrough here at gamefaqs.com). You don't really need
it, it is helpful to get a gold skulltulla and to cross a
pit (I'l explain this later)...

Let's start!!!!

Walkthrough:

Turn right and cross the pit using your hookshot. Go
forward and you'll go through the wall!!! (using your lens
you can see that...). Now you'll be in the "First room".
Take a drastic left and go through the wall on the far left
corner...

Keep going in this room and use your lens to see a fake
wall on your right. Enter the door behind it. In this room
kill everything (i.e the zombie and the bats) and a chest
with the DUNGEON MAP will appear. Now exit and return
(using your lens) to see another fake wall on your right.
Enter it and you'll be in a room same as last one. Watch
out for the flying pots and use your lens to see another
fake wall. So go through it (duh, really??) and you'll see
a door. Enter it (duh, again???) and kill Dead Hand (Bottom
of the Well Boss). Now it's easier because you have the
Master or the Biggoron's Sword... After you killed him
you'll get the HOVER BOOTS!!!!!!

Now return back to the first room and use your lens to see
which of the skulls in the middle of the room doesn't
dissapear. Grab the statue and push it to the skull that
didn't dissappear. If you stop on any other skull you'll
fall to a pit. This will open the gate at the other side of
the pit. Now equip your hover boots press and hold all the
way forward to reach the platform (the one with a silly
face that had the gate).

Go down this corridor and you'll reach a laser eye thing.
Kill it if you want with 2 bombs... go through your right
wall. Enter the door, kill the Mummy and get the COMPASS.
Exit and go through the wall straight ahead from you (left
from the corridor). In this room you'll see an statue with
two moving blades (it's similar to the one in the Ice
Cavern level). So dodge them and grab all the silver rupees
in the room (one is on a platform, so use your hookshot on
the target in the ceiling...). after you get them a grating
will open revealing a small chest with a small KEY. Exit
this room and go to the wall on your left (straight ahead
from the corridor). Use a bomb to blow it up and enter the
locked door.

In this hallway, avoid the Skulltullas (you can see their
shadows) and you'll reach a room with falling blades. Keep
going forward and you'll reach a platform. Kill the
Stalfos. You can play the Song of Storms in the middle of
this platform for a Big Fairy. Go left from this platform
(use your Lens and your Hover Boots) to reach a door on the
far southwest corner. Go through it (Oh, come on!??) and
put on your Lens to see another two-blade-statue. Kill the
shield eater and all the bats (3 of them) and a grating
will open revealing a chest with some rupees and the first
gold SKULLTULLA. You don't really need to enter this room,
but the title says it: Shadow Temple Walkthrough (INCLUDING
GOLD SKULLTULLAS...).

Go back to the falling blade room, kill the Stalfos, summon
the Big Fairy if you want using the Song of Storms, then
(using your hover boots) continue straight ahead to the
moving platform (right from the blades). Note: you must
wait for the platform to be at its lowest point, otherwise
you won't reach it and you'll fall to the pit.

Now, on the moving platform, wait until it reaches its
highest point, then proceed forward to the laser thing and
ground spikes platform. On here, grab all the silver rupees
(I recommend you to unequip the hover boots...) avoiding
the ground spikes to open the grating. Remember that one
silver rupee is under the laser eye thing, so kill it with
a bomb to get it...

Follow this corridor to get to the "Falling Spikes" room.
Use your Lens and look at your right wall and you'll see a
block. Pull it out until it gets to the face on the floor.
Now push it (this is to avoid the falling spikes) until it
gets to the second spike, then go around it and pull it all
the way. There's a gold SKULLTULLA in a cage left from the
spikes...

Now climb the block and jump to the ledge on your left
(right from the skulltulla). Now wait until the second
falling spike drops down, then use it (hover boots) and
hover to the ledge in front of you... step on the switch to
make a chest appears, then return (via the falling blade)
and get the KEY on it.

Exit this room, then go back to the falling blades room
(the one with the Stalfos, this is easier if you get
confused between falling blades and falling spikes room).
Go to the ramp on your left to reach a platform with a
falling blade. Dodge it, equip your Hover Boots and Lens of
Truth to see an invisible platform. Go to it and you'll see
another invisible, but moving platform. Use it to get to
the locked door there. Enter it (duh, again???). Now in
this room use your Lens to see the invisible spikes on the
floor. Kill the zombies for some rupees, and collect all
silver rupees by using the hookshot targets on the wall.
(there is one in an invisible platform, so use your lens to
see the hookshot target and get it).

Enter the door that opened. Climb up the stairs and use a
bomb plant there and throw it to the giant skull. Grab the
small KEY and kill the third gold SKULLTULLA behind it. Now
kill all bats to unlock the door. Go back to the previous
zombie room. Now put on your lens to see an invisible
hookshot target on the ceiling above the locked door. Go
through it.

Now in this corridor, put on your Iron boots (ya, Iron, not
Hover, this is to avoid being blown from the fans). Turn
right and wait until the fan there stops, then equip your
hover boots to cross the pit. Reequip your Iron ones and
cross the path. You don't need to enter the door there,
there are some weird chests, a hint (if you're using this
Faq you don't need it), and a Big Fairy you can summon with
the Song of the Sun. Kill the eye shooting fire at you with
an arrow (when the eye is opened).

Note: If you get burned what do you do?? Run, don't you?
But you can't run with the Iron Boots!!!, so that's a big
problem... Well... not anymore. Just swing your sword a few
times to get rid of the fire... (good hint, huh???).

Now look left using your lens (from looking at the door)
and you'll see a fake wall. So face it, equip your hover
boots, and when you see you're starting to be blown away by
the fan behind you, hold all the way forward and you'll
reach the platform... (cool, ain't it??). Enter the door.

In this room, look to your right and use a bomb on the pile
of sh... (Oops!!) sorry, dirt there. This will reveal an
invisible small chest, so use your lens and grab the KEY on
it... Proceed to the locked door (get rid of the mummies if
you want...).

Now you are at the "Big Ship's" room. Take a left and pull
the block to the face tile on the floor, then turn around
and push it all the way to the stairs. Climb it, them, and
you'll be next to the ship. Don't go to it yet. Instead,
look to the grating left from facing the ship. Wait until
Navi turns green and flies to the grating platform, then
play your Scarecrow's song to make Pierre appear on it.

Longshot to him to kill the fourth gold SKULLTULLA. Now go
to the ship, stand in the Triforce Symbol and play Zelda's
Lullaby to make the ship move. While it's moving, you'll
have to fight 2 Stalfos, so take out your hover boots if
you have them equipped... Then the ship will stop and will
start sinking (it doesn't matter if you were or not done
with the Stalfos), so jump to the platform to your left
(when facing the front of the ship).

Enter the door in there. Well... now you are in the
toughest room of this Temple, the "Maze Room". Use your
lens to see the invisible walls of the maze. There are 4
rooms in this maze (I say four, cause the one you entered
from counts as one). One has 2 spiked wood walls, so use
Din's fire when they are close enough to get rid of them.
This room contains the BOSS KEY!!. Another has three giant
skulls, they give you some rupees if you blow them up and
the last GOLD SKULLTULLA, behind them. The last one, has an
invisible monster (use your lens), so kill it to get the
last small KEY!!. Once you have everything, exit.

Note: I recommend you to navigate this maze by sticking on
the outside right wall, it is easier. Also watch out for
the 3 or 4 invisible hand monsters on it...

Now, in this room, stand on the bone platform, then wait
until Navi turns green and fly to the platform on your
right, above. Then play the Scarecrow's song and longshot
to Pierre to cross the pit. Another way is to shoot the
bomb plants next to the statue with an arrow, to make it
fall to create a bridge...

Proceed to enter the locked door in there, then put on your
hover boots and your lens of truth to see the platforms and
reach the final Boss Room Door... Drop down the hole in
there and you'll meet...


Shadow Temple Boss:

Phantom Shadow Beast: Bongo Bongo

I don't know, but he looks somehow like Andross in Starfox
64...

I recommend you to have a fairy in a bottle...

His attacks: well, clapping, smashing, punching....

First, shoot both hands with an arrow. They will turn blue.
Immediatly put on your lens to see his face and start
charging a spin attack, when he tries to "bite" you,
release the spin and he'll be stunned. Once he's stunned
slash him with your sword and repeat... With the Biggoron's
Sword will be a lot easier...
