With Fire and Ice arrows now in your possession, there is one last item to get before heading towards the temple. Warp to F2 (Dragon Roost Island) and sail south to F3 (Fire Mountain). Approach the volcanic island, close to the edge, but not too close to get toasted! Shoot an Ice Arrow at the fiery plume to clear the fire, allowing you access inside. You have 5 minutes to get inside and get its treasure. I’ll try to guide you along keeping your time limit in mind. Get off on the shore and climb up the path of the mountain. Sidle across a plank when you come to it and keep climbing up until you reach the hole. If you have 2:00 or more left, you’re safe to continue, otherwise I’d return to your boat and wait for the time to run out and restart the quest. Once inside the mountain, defeat the Fire Keese, then hop across the platforms on the lava surface. Defeat the two Magtails with your parry attack, and defeat all the Keese. When all enemies are vanquished, a chest appears. Open it to receive the Power Bracelets, a strength booster that allows you to pick up extremely heavy objects with ease. Your clock disappears, allowing you easy time to get back outside. Once in your boat, warp to B7 (Outset Island) and then sail east to C7 (Headstone Island). Approach the giant stone head and lift it off the ground with your extra muscle (*I’m Popeye, the sailor man*). Enter the cavern and read the tablet. Take out your Wind Waker to learn and conduct the Earth God’s Lyric. A sage named Laruto, who is from the Zora tribe from Ocarina of Time, asks you to find the new sage who plays a harp. Got a good memory? It’s Medli. Warp to F2 (Dragon Roost Island) and make your way up the summit and into the aerie (pull out a block on the first elevated level for easy access). On the second floor, take the second door. Grapple to the ledge. Climb up and to the south to find Medli. After a chat, show her your Wind Waker and play the Earth God’s Lyric. She will become acquainted with her ancestor and join you in your quest to the Earth Temple. Return to Headstone Island (C7) and at the tablet, conduct the Earth God’s Lyric. Medli will play the song, which shatters the tablet, opening up the first room of the Earth Temple. With the Command Melody, Medli becomes a nice companion whom you will get to play with as well. Carry Medli off the edge and she will fly you both to the door. Carry her through and put her down at the entrance. Defeat three Moblins in this area to clear the room, then carry Medli up the left stairwell. At the top, run with Medli and she’ll fly you both to the pillar. Put her down, and stand on that switch. Play the Command Melody to gain control of Medli. Tap A and fly to the next pillar. Stand on the switch there to activate the door. Drop her down by the door and press R to release control. Carry Medli through the east door. Put her down under the beam of light and defeat the ChuChu enemies. Notice Medli’s harp reflects the light. Defeat the Dark ChuChus by luring them into the reflected light and tossing them while frozen in stone. Defeat all the ChuChus to unseal the doors. With the Command Melody (from now on, that is what I mean by “take control of Medli” or “as Medli”), have Medli reflect light on the chest to the north. Shine the light on it until it is revealed. As Link, open the chest for the Dungeon Map. Bomb the green Warp Jar to be used later. If you want small prizes, including a Joy Pendant, shoot Fire Arrows at the red curtains and collect the prizes with your Boomerang. Carry Medli through the east door. Don’t walk into the fog (it’s called paralyzing fog for a reason). Take control of Medli and stand under the rightmost (south) beam of light. Reflect the light into the fog to the right and hold it there when you release control. As Link, go down and hammer the peg there to open a door. Carry Medli through it. Put her down at the entrance and defeat the Red Bubbles that come out of the crypts. Climb the ladder and pull the block to reveal a light beam. As Medli, reflect the light onto a chest in the south. As Link, open it for a Small Key. Soon, Floor Masters appear. Defeat them quickly. If Medli is captured (at any time) by Floor Masters, she appears in a birdcage in the previous room (it has a statue with two weird eyes and the fog below it). If you are captured, you are dropped off on the floor of that same room. To get her back if you lose her, go to that room and take control of her, then fly out of the cage. You’ll have to backtrack from wherever she is captured. Anyway, once the Floor Masters are gone, return with Medli to the previous room. Unlock the north door and carry her through. Defeat the ChuChus, then shoot a Fire Arrow at the red curtain. A beam of light shines through. Carry Medli into the light and lure the Dark ChuChus into it. Instead of tossing them away, carry two of them onto the switches to create a set of stairs. Quickly climb up them when they appear before the Dark ChuChus revert back to normal. Push the block off the edge to open the east door. As Medli, climb the stairs or fly up if they are gone. As Link, carry her through the door. Put her down by the entrance and defeat the Floor Master in the centre area. Push the first block against the wall to open a skylight. Pick up Medli and carry her into the light. As Medli, reflect it onto a statue on top of a block. The statue will disintegrate. Also, reflect light on the yellow symbols (two on each wall) to blow away sections. As Link, pull the newly revealed block in the north section as far as possible, then push it along to unbar a door. Push the other block nearby to make a chest appear. Throw Medli up to the high ledge, then climb up yourself, and open the chest for the Compass. Collect three fairies in the pot. Carry her through the door there. Put her down by the entrance and defeat the two Moblins. Leave the Poes alone, as you can’t beat them just yet. Climb the ladder to the light beam. As Medli, fly to that light and reflect it continually on a Poe to stun it (it begins to hop around). Quickly release control and as Link, slash the Poe to defeat it. Do this for the other Poe as well. When all are gone, a staircase appears. As Medli, reflect light onto the statues to reveal a chest. It contains a Joy Pendant. Carry Medli up the stairs & through the east door. Leave her by the door and drop into the middle. Approach a crypt to make it fall. Collect any prizes and defeat any Redeads that appear. Also collect the Small Key. A ladder will drop when you get them all. Carry Medli back through to the previous room. Unlock the door to your left. Medli stays outside automatically. You will fight a Stalfos. When it is defeated, two more appear. Defeat them to make stairs appear. Climb them to a chest and open it for...ta da...the Mirror Shield! Sweet! This replaces your regular shield (just toss that family heirloom in the trash!?!), allowing you to reflect light as well as defend yourself. A skylight opens. Reflect light off your shield onto the moon above the door behind you to change it to a sun and unseal it. Go back a room. You can carry Medli back through five rooms to the statue and fog room, or open this neat little passage to it. I vote passage. Alrighty then...Defeat the Moblins and Poes quickly with your reflective shield. As Medli, fly to the beam of light and reflect it to the east platform around the first step. Hold that position when you release control. As Link, stand in the light from Medli’s reflection and use your shield to reflect (re-reflect?) light onto a yellow symbol on the west wall to blow it. Carry Medli through the passageway. There’s the door to the room we want, however you can also collect some much needed cash. Reflect the light beam (where DO these come from?) to the statue and collect a Blue Rupee. That’s it? Nay, nay. Have Medli reflect light into that area, hold it and release control. As link, re-reflect (I think I just invented a new word) the light to the yellow symbol. Blowing out the wall gives you a reward of 80 rupees. Now carry Medli through the door to the statue/fog room. Fly across it and, as Medli, reflect either beam of light to one of the statue’s eyes. When it changes, hold the pose and release control. As Link, reflect the other beam to the other eye, creating a sun. The fog disappear, revealing a basement level. If you want a Joy Pendant, read this part, otherwise head down to the basement. For the Joy Pendant, take Medli through the south door. Defeat any enemies, then place Medli on a switch in the southwest corner. Enter the door it opens alone and reflect light onto two yellow symbols on the wall to blow them. Open the chest for a Joy Pendant. Return with Medli to the statue/fog (now /sun room) and enter the basement level. Leave Medli for now and take the stairs down to a bridge. Defeat the Blue Bubbles with your Deku Leaf and sword. Carry Medli across the bridge to the door blocked by a tablet. Conduct and play the Earth God’s Lyric to shatter it. Carry Medli through the door. Leave her for now (I wonder what she does when you leave her...) and defeat two Redeads. Reflect the light onto the statue on a block in front of you to disintegrate it. Reflect light onto the mirror to redirect the beam onto another statue, destroying it. Finally, reflect light onto another mirror to blow another statue. Carry Medli through the west door. Leave her (yet again) by the door and head towards the fog. This can be hazardous. You’ll need to navigate the foggy area that is manned by Floor Masters. Ick. To safely cross the room, follow the map on your screen, and go east past the first pair of pillars; turn past them and go between the next pair; and turn east again past them to the third pair. At the north end, open the chest for a Small Key. The fog dissipates upon opening. For a quick and fairly painless way to get a Treasure Chart, defeat all six Floor Masters on the…floor. Be careful not to get caught. Keep a safe distance and use arrows. Once all are defeated, open the chest that appears for Treasure Chart #12. Carry Medli and backtrack one room. Carry Medli through the east door. Leave Medli there, defeat the two Floor Masters in the foggy area with arrows, then run across the fog to the other side to defeat the furthest Floor Masters. Climb up the ledge and hammer the peg to reveal a skylight. Push the mirror/statue as far as you can to reflect light into the opposite end through the gate. If you want a Joy Pendant, shoot a Fire Arrow at the rightmost red curtain and collect it with your Boomerang. Return to the previous room with Medli. Throw her onto the south ledge, then push the small block to the south ledge. Climb up and unlock the door with Medli. Put her down, then defeat three Red Bubbles and three Poes (using the light beam). Reflect light at two statues to reveal two alcoves with rupees and magic power. Position Link along the east wall, then as Medli, reflect light at Link, hold it, then release control. Re-reflect Medli’s light at the statue to disintegrate it, then enter the door with Medli. Leave her at the door and run through both sides of this room to drop crypts, defeat enemies and collect small rewards. When both sides are clear, carry Medli to the end with the tablet and conduct/play the Earth God’s Lyric to destroy the slab. Carry her through the door. Take the stairs down & in the round room here, bomb the boulder to open up the yellow Warp Jar. You can see the Boss Door, but you have no key. Yet. Carry Medli down the spiraling stairs to the south, then fly over & drop off the ledge to the second basement level. Go down the stairs to the north door and enter. This room is massive and somewhat complicated. I’ve kept my instructions as clear as possible, but if you happen to get lost, there are some general rules of thumb: Push/pull all mirror statues onto scorpion floor tiles; reflect light on all yellow wall symbols; reflect light on all statues; and reflect light on all invisible chests. To start, have Medli fly to a big pillar in the centre. Step on a switch to open a skylight. Drop her down on the main level. As Link, push a mirror statue in the southwest corner to a tile. Do this in the southeast corner as well. As Medli, fly to the two-step pedestal in the southeast and reflect light west to a statue to destroy it. Face southwest and reflect it onto a chest. Release control and have Link open the chest for a Purple Rupee. On the short pedestal in the east alcove, face the yellow symbols on the wall. Have Medli reflect light at Link (southeast), then have Link re-reflect light on the four wall symbols. A statue is revealed. Push/pull it along the track to a floor tile. Go to the mirror statue in the centre of the room (from the east side) behind a statue Medli destroyed and pull it along the track onto a floor tile. A short cinema with a “W” shaped light beam shows. If it doesn’t re-read this part from the beginning and try again. In the northwest corner, stand on a two-step pedestal near the chest in the path of a light beam. Facing southeast, reflect light onto another chest with a Joy Pendant inside. Turn left and shine light on a statue near the chest to blow it & reveal a mirror statue behind it. Shine light on the southwest wall symbol to blow that wall, revealing an alcove we'll visit later. Stand on the smaller pedestal nearby and face four wall symbols to the northwest. As Medli, fly to the pedestal near Link and reflect light to him. Hold that position and release control. As Link, re-reflect the light to the four wall symbols to reveal another mirror statue. Pull it to a floor tile. Pull the statue to the west along its track (shaped like a zig-zag “Z”) onto a floor tile. A short cinema appears with that same wall statue with two weird eyes and two small light beams. If it doesn’t, re-read and try again. As Medli, fly to a two-step pedestal at the north end and reflect light to an eye of the wall statue. Hold it and release control. Have Link reflect light on the other eye to create another sun figure and open a door to the north. First, smash pots in the east alcove for 50 rupees and in the northwest alcove for about 100 more rupees. To get a Treasure Chart, go through the southwest alcove door to a small room. You can have Medli reflect light on each crypt (one at a time) and defeat each Stalfos inside. I wouldn’t recommend fighting three at once! You can also reflect light yourself, dontcha know. Defeat the three Stalfoses to made a chest appear. Pull out the block to reach the upper part and open it for Treasure Chart #20. Go back to the big room and carry Medli through the north door. If you can't find her, she's probably at the south door. Either climb the ladder there or play the Command Melody. Leave her by the door and fight two Blue Bubbles and a Darknut. I’d say take out the Bubbles first, as they disarm you if touched. Use your Deku Leaf and sword, then take out the Darknut. A gate will open to the north. Open the fancy chest for the Boss Key. Carry Medli back to the big labyrinth room, then out the south door. As Medli, fly up to the first basement level, then have Link climb the vines to that level as well. Have Medli fly with Link across the level to the boss door. Collect rewards from the pots, then save and enter the boss door to fight Jalhalla. See boss section for help. He is actually a fun boss, and quite easy to beat. When you do win, collect the Heart Container and step into the warp. Medli and Laruto play a lovely duet and an extra notch of power is added to the Master Sword. You arrive back at Headstone Island. Since you have Treasure Chart #20, open it up and warp to F6 (Forest Haven), then sail north to Bomb Island (F5), and uncover its treasure, Heart Piece #41. Now, you can move on to the next temple.
