Forest Temple Guide

[Ari]

We start out by taking out the 2 Wolfos in the room, then climbing the ivy to get Gold Skulltula #47. We then jump across the trees to get our first Small Key. These will open the locked doors for us. Once inside the main room, the four poe sisters will appear and steal the four flames causing the elevator to the boss to collapse. We move on to the northern room but stop right before it to get Gold Skulltula #48. Once Inside I show the Forest Temple's mark abouve the door, this mark indicates we are going the right way, so remember that. In the next room we encounter a pair of Stalfos (you can use Deku Nuts or the Hookshot to stun them), then we get our second Small Key and an optional fairy before moving on. Back in the main room we head North-West and play the Song of Time to move the Tick Block and access the next room. Once the enemies are cleared out we take out a few Skullwalltulas and climb the ivy (be careful to sneak past the last one or it'll glow purple and ram you off the ivy.) Once we reach the top we enter the next room and take out the Bubble to get the Dungeon Map. Moving into the next room we hookshot over to a switch that lowers the water level and jump down. From here we use the hookshot on a barely visible chest to get up onto an island and get Gold Skulltula #49. We then jump into the well and travel along it to get our third Small Key. Once we climb out of the well on the other side we head back to the main room and enter the locked door to the West.

We start out by moving through the room and pushing two blocks in the directions that the arrows on the floor point in. (Watch me carefully to avoid confusion). Once we reach the top we continue through another room which is all twisted. We get a warning from Navi about "Monsters that hang from the ceiling" in this next room, so move quickly to the next room. Here we go downstairs and into the next room for our Mini-Boss fight. First up there is a giant hole in the floor...yeah avoid that. We need to fight off a single Stalfos first to make a platform drop and cover the hole. Two more Stalfos will appear now but these ones are special. Once you beat one, it will revive itself if you dont defeat its partner fast enough. So I suggest getting a few hits in on one, then switching to the other. Once they are dealt with, we get the Dungeon Item: the Fairy Bow. The Bow takes the place of the Slingshot for Adult Link. Now backtracking to the staircase room, we fire arrows at the 3 paintings of the red poe sister Joelle (You have to hit the one showing her face and then move on to the other two, if you get too close she will run to another painting.) Once all 3 painings are destroyed we must fight her. We defeat her to get our 4th Small Key. Now backtracking through the twisted room, we place a checkpoint with Farore's Wind and leave the room. We shoot an arrow into the eye switch to untwist the room and make a chest appear on the floor. This contains the Boss Key which allows us to open the Boss' Door. Once we get it I show a Wallmaster which is the ceiling enemy I said before. Fall down the hole in the room and take out the bubbles to move on. From here jump on the stone structure and move along it to find Gold Skulltula #50, jump back to the door and head to the left and into the door to find a Floormaster, kill it and use a spin attack to kill its 3 offspring quickly to get Small Key #5. From here we use Farore's Wind again to teleport back to Joelle's room.

In this part we move through Joelle's room and through the mini-boss room to get to the blue poe sister, Beth's room. We deal with her in the exact same way we dealt with Joelle and are rewarded with the Compass. Moving on upstairs, We move through a Wallmaster room and use up the last of our keys to get to a spinning room. Once inside we jump onto one of the spinning platforms and with good timing, we shoot an arrow through the lit torch and into the frozen eye switch. This will twist the corridor and allow us to access a room where the ceiling falls on us...literally. We hide in the spots where switches and enemies are to avoid the ceiling and move into the green poe sister Amy's room. To summon her we need to shoot her painting and quickly move the blocks in the room to create her image, with one block that is useless. We fight her the same was as her two sisters and move back into the main hall to find the purple and final poe sister Meg, waiting for us. When we get to her, she makes 3 clones of herself and circles us. The real Meg will always do a spin before she moves, so target her and fire an arrow into her, repeat to win. After we defeat her, all the torches will be lit and the elevator to the boss room will rise once again. We jump inside it and arrive at the bottom floor where we spin the room a few times to open the gates leading to Gold Skulltula #51 and the Boss Door.

The arena is a circular room with triforce emblems on the floor.

Phantom Ganon's attacks: During the 1st phase if you fail to hit him with your bow he will jump out of a painting and zap the ground with a lightning spell. In the 2nd Phase he will throw spells at you which will hurt a lot if you fail to hit them back.

Strategy: In the 1st Phase you will need to look for a triforce emblem on the floor and stand on it as seen in the video. Then get out your Bow and look around the painting for the 2 Phantom Ganons riding towards you. One will turn around and run away, the other will try to come out of the painting, shoot that one with an arrow to hurt him and cause him to flee back into the painting. After 3 hits he will abandon his horse and start Phase 2. Note: if you fail to hit him with an arrow his lightning spell will zap the ground EXCEPT for the areas with triforce emblems!

Phase Two: He will hover around the room and toss spells at you. Slice them back at him not stop until they stun him, use this as your chance to slice him up. (If you dont lock onto him you can crouch down and stab him non stop for a fast kill but thats for pro's only!) Repeat to win.
