Nightmares in the night, Ikana Graveyard


















More places than just the beach open once you can leap with Epona. Go east of Clock Town and hop over the fence in the area with all the bomb wielding rats. Instead of going straight, turn and exit north to get to the graveyard type area. Make sure you first come here at night. Goto the big skeleton that is asleep under the archway in the house. Play the Awake Sanata, and prepare for an interesting battle.

Boss: Big Skeleton

He will try to run away, and as he runs further up the path, flames will block your path and skeletons will appear. Wear the Bunny Hood, and target him right when the fight starts. Hit him in the back with a normal arrow. Run up a bit while he is stunned and try to keep him stunned with arrows while fighting the little skeletons with your sword. If he gets too far ahead to shoot, you will probably need to leave and try again.

Once you get close enough to hit him with your sword, the real fight will start and no more flames will appear. He takes alot of hits, but is not really a problem in to kill. After he is hit maybe 20 times or so, he will start to jump and try to land on Link. Just avoid the shadow when you see it appear and strike some more. After you beat the Big Skeleton, you will get a new mask.

Wear this mask and talk to the skeletons down the path a bit. Choose the second choice and jump down the hole that opens. Leap across a few gaps and kill all the bats in the next room with Deku Link. Use fire arrows to light the torches and the door will open.

Boss: Axe Knight

This guy is easy, but one error can cost you 4-5 hearts a hit. first, target the statue before it starts moving and hit it then back up quickly. Keep it targeted, and wait for it to miss. If it slashes twice, leap and hit it once. If it takes a big lunge and misses, hit it twice while it pulls its axe back up. After a few hits, part of his armor will break off and he will move twice as fast. It can get hard at this point, just try to stay as far away from him as possible. You might also want to only attack when he does the lunge, but be careful, he can do it quicker and with longer range. You can also just keep him at bay when he tries to attack with regular slashes rather than leap slashes. When you win, you can climb up the stairs, and Z-target the stone to learn the Song of Storms.

If you come back on the second night and talk to the skeletons, you will get a hole that leads to some rupees. Try putting on the Lens of Truth and going through the door that appears. In the next small area, there will be invisible bats and spiders, and an invisible pathway to walk across. If you use the Lens of Truth for just a second, then turn it off, no magic will be wasted, so you can just push the button it's assigned to rapidly and not worry about using it for too long. When you get to the dead end, look for a crack in the wall and use a bomb.

Boss: Axe Knight

Now this guy is just plain boring. Waste him and pick up a heart container piece.

If you come back on the 3rd night, you will fall down a hole where the grave digger is. The object here is to find 3 blue spirits hidden under the dirt. You need to walk REALLY slowly for the grave digger to follow you. If you go too fast, he might get lost, and you will need to correct him. Take him over the the mounds of dirt to search for spirts. Watch out for the hand that will fall down from the roof. If you see a shadow, move out of the way and slash the hand that comes down. There are 2 mounds of dirt above ground level. To get the digger to these ones, lead him over to the switches on the floor, and step off when he steps on, then run over and climb up to where it leads him to, before he walks off by accident. When you get them all, you will need to fight a boss.

Boss: Big Poe

This boss can be kind of tricky. You must wait for him to stop spinning then hit him with an arrow 4-5 times. A good place to go to fight him is the hall way where you first came in. Dodge him when he spins at you then shoot him. When you win, you can open a chest for the 4th bottle item. You can also catch a big poe in the center of the room, but i'm not sure what it does yet.
