By: Owner of Dave's Zelda Site
1. Upon entering the big room, make yourself go to the right. Using the bomb flower in the middle of the room, bonb the wall ot the left of the right side of the room. Behind it should be a chest with the dungeon map
2. Facing the giant dodongo head, grab a bom and jump down towards the right. There will be a boulder there. Destroy it. Then step on the switch.
3. Go onto the platform which goes all the way to the top. Get off at the second floor.
4. Go to your left and cross the wooden bridge. Hit the switch. Go back down to the first floor and go through the iron door you just unlocked.
5. Grab one out of the many bomb flowers and use it to bomb the wall with cracks. After that, light a deku stick up and use it to knock off the bomb flower on the wall. Then grab that bomb and put it in the middle of the gap etween the many bombs. Tip: Putting it right in the middle will make both sides go off. However, if you put it to one side more than the other, it will result in failure of making the large steps come down.
6. Go up the big steps. Collect the five (5) silver rupees that are in the room 9two in crates, one under a bad guy, and one opn a spider web). This will unlock the iron door Tip: The silver rupees are on both top and bottom floors of that room.
7. You'll see three (3) dodongo's there. Kill them. You'll get the compass for the dungeon. Go through the iron door you unlocked.
Confusing Step 8. Now, cross the wooden bridge. Go down into the room. Now you'll see two (2) blocks that aren't quite in the first corridor but are close. Well, push them into that first corridor. THere are three (3) unlit torches in the corridor. Using a deku stick, light it up from the torch in the entrance of the room. The trick is to put the two (2) blocks where you can jump on and light up the torches. This lights up a golden torch and opens up a door for later use. Now go up to the platform where the golden torch is. Light up a stick and go into the hallway across the platform. Light up the web, then the two (2) torches. Kill the spider cause he won't let you pass by. The trick is to light up a torch, kill the spider, and the light up a stick and light the other torch. Now, go down and use the block on the left to allow you to go to the other side.
9. Now going through that hallway, you'll see a gold torch. If its not lit, you didn't light up both torches. Go back if its not lit. If it is lit, then light up a stick to knock off the bomb flower from the wall, and use it to destroy the cracked wall.
10. Fight off the two (2) Lizalfos.
Confusing step11. Now in this room, the first thing you do is jump down. The head to the left and break the crate. You should then see a crystal switch. Now climb back to the beginning of the room. Use your sling shot to hit the switch. It stops the fire on the first platform. Warning: It's only off Temporarily. Jump to the first platform, then turn left. Grab the bomb flower. Jump down. On the furthest part of the room, to the right, there will be a boulder. Destroy it. Now step on the switch, then hit the crystal switch. Then cross the two platforms into the next room.
12. Jump across the gap. Failure of you to do so will make you repeat steps 8-10. Keep walking until you reach a bombflower with boulders surrounding it. Destroy the boulders. Now grab a bomb flower and jump off the ledge to the left. Destroy the wall with cracks.
13. Jump on the white block to the left. It will rise. Then grab the bomb and blow up the boulder which is a little further up. This will reveal another bomb flower. You will see a little line of bomb flowers. Use your newly aquired one to start off the line of explosions. At the end, an eye switch will be revealed, so hit it with the switch.
14. Go through the hallway.
15. Kill the two (2) lizalfos.
16. Use the bombflower to blow up the second line of bombs.
17. Get your bomb bad, which is in the chest.
18. Using the platform that goes from the first floor to second floor, well, go to the second floor. Then go to the wooden bridge. This time, fall into the first hole. Plant a bomb in each eye. After both eyes turn red, the mouth should open, giving you another passage way.
19. Go to the hallway to your right. Now kill the Lizalfo. Throw a bomb across the firewall. This will activate a crystal switch. Cross the wall. Then find the line of bombs behind all of the statues. Kill some of them while you're at it too. Then climb up the steps and continue. Move the grave and step ofn the switch which opens the boss door.
20. Plant a bomb where the floor is brow. Then fight the Boss.
