#44 In Search of the Triforce
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In Skyloft, go see Zelda’s father, the Headmaster. He asks, "Ah, hello, Link! Have you heard anything more about my daughter! What is it…? If you know anything at all, I urge you to share it with me. …Want to tell me but you can’t? Hmm. I…understand." The Headmaster then tells Link he will share any knowledge he has to help Link. Say – "Actually". The Triforce is mentioned and the Headmaster tells Link that any clues to its whereabouts have long been lost. He remembers someone named Levias, the great spirit of the sky. Levias has a wealth of knowledge and may be able to help Link. Link asks where Levias is. The Headmaster says he is trapped in the clouds called Thunderhead and he has asked Instructor Owlan to look into it.
Go see Instructor Owlan. He will tell Link that Levias is not the one that they knew. He is now a monster. Instructor Owlan tries to talk Link out of going to see Levias but realizes Link is determined. Instructor Owlan takes Link to a take-off platform to teach him a new bird-riding technique. It’s called the "Spiral Charge". Dash off the platform to take to the sky. There is a tutorial and Link is told to knock out ten targets in less than 120 seconds to qualify. When completed, Owlan suggests that Link go to the Lumpy Pumpkin to talk with the owner, Pumm.
Go to the Bazaar and talk to the thin fellow in the café, Croo. He says, "I haven’t seen the Fortune-teller much these days…You knew his crystal ball got broken, right? I just hope he’s not sitting at home kicking himself for not foreseeing this. Would you mind running over and checking on him? His house is on the Eastern edge of Skyloft."
Go to the Fortune-teller, Sparrot’s house. He will tell Link, "I’m fine. Go on, go on…Please leave me be…My crystal ball has shattered, and without it, my eyes can no longer gaze deeply into the future." Sparrot had heard that Link found part of the windmill and asks Link if he can find another crystal ball at the same place the original was found. Say – "Yes". Fi appears to give Link the ability to dowse for the crystal ball.
Take to the sky and go to the Eldin Volcano light point and drop in at the temple entrance. Look up to the left above the entrance to see the crystal ball on a pedestal. Go to the geyser to Link’s left and up to the ledge. Equip the Clawshots and target the Claw Shield to reach a ledge. Walk up to the crystal ball and Fi will appear. She agrees that it is suitable and, with Link’s permission, calls for Scrapper. A few moments later Scrapper arrives to pick up the crystal ball. Go to the Bird Statue and to the sky. With Scrapper in tow, go to the Fortune-tellers house. Scrapper drops the crystal ball on the table and says, "If you need me…Feel free to call." The Fortune-teller says, "Oh! What do my eyes behold?! This…this is it! You found it! This is exactly the same as the crystal ball I used before! Fate and fortunes! My eyes are with the thrill of possibility and damp with tears of gratitude." Sparrot tells Link to come by the Bazaar to get his fortune told. Link receives five Gratitude Crystals.
Go to Pipit’s house. His mother says, "So here’s the thing, Link. My house
is terribly dirty…Pipit is always telling me to do some dusting around here, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. That’s why I wanted to ask you if you wouldn’t mind cleaning it for me. I’ll even pay you, Link." Say – "I’m on it". She is happy that Link agreed but she doesn’t have a broom. The Gust Bellows is automatically equipped, so start blowing the dust off the floor. She may ask if Link is done. Say – "Almost", and continue cleaning. She may tell Link to do the floor first and the shelves. At some point she will be happy to see the house is clean. Link receives five Gratitude Crystals and a Red Rupee.
After cleaning Pipit’s house come back at night and stroll past the house. Link will hear an argument between Pipit and his mother. It goes like this:
Pipit says; "We’ve been over this before mom!" Link then moves close to a window. The mother then says; "Calm down, Pipit. Don’t get so mad…" Pipit says, "How could I not be mad?! It’s been obvious lately that you’ve been giving someone Rupees to clean the house! I gave you that money so you could buy some bread! If you keep spending money like this, I won’t have any money to go to the Knight Academy! I didn’t take that job patrolling just so you could live the life of luxury! You’ve got to stop doing this!"
Pipit steps outside the house and sees Link. "Oh…Hey there, Link…What could you want at this hour? You didn’t hear any of that, did you? There’s no way you heard, right?" Say "Sorry". Pipit replies, "Oh…You heard! It’s true. I’m working the night patrol to earn extra money! But don’t look at me like that! You’re not exactly Mr. Perfect either, are you, Mr. Eavesdropper! Maybe we should just forget about everything that happened here tonight!" Pipit then walks away.
Go into Pipit’s house and talk to his mother. She will say, "Pipit is really angry with me…He said I shouldn’t be spending our money on a housekeeper. But…You’re not exactly a housekeeper, are you, Link? That makes it OK, doesn’t it? Anyway, that’s good enough for me. As far as I am concerned, I’ll pay you to clean my house any time it gets dusty." Leave the house and catch up with Pipit near the Sparring Hall. Pipit will tell Link, "You…weren’t supposed to see that whole spectacle, Link. How embarrassing…I feel so ashamed of my mother sometimes. She’s just so lazy sometimes. I don’t know what to do. But I’ll be fine. You don’t need to worry about me. I still haven’t worked out who did the cleaning for mother, though…Who do you think they are, getting involved in our business like that?’
Now head for the Lumpy Pumpkin. At the Lumpy Pumpkin Pumm asks Link, "What’s the matter?" Say – "Actually". Pumm says, "Levias…What about him?" He knows Levias but didn’t know anything was wrong. He tells Link that each year he gives a full basin of his soup to Levias. Because of the clouds at Thunderhead Pumm hasn't made his offering. Link offers to do it. Pumm doesn’t know how Link will do it but he will make his best soup ever. A few moments later there is a large basin of soup in front of Link. Fi and Scrapper appear. Scrapper grabs the basin of soup and is ready to go. Pumm tells Link that the place where he makes his offering to Levias in Thunderhead is at the everlasting rainbow. Take to the sky.

)))))))))))))))))))))) THE PARASITE - BILOCYLE (((((((((((((((((((((((
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With Scrapper in tow, head for Rainbow Island in Thunderhead. Scrapper will set the basin down as Link arrives. The scene shows a whale like creature floating in the air, with eyes on several tentacles protruding from its body. It is the Great Spirit of the Skies, Levias. Target the eyes and use the new Spiral Charge to destroy them. When they are all destroyed another eye will pop out of Levias’s blowhole. It is the parasite "Bilocyle". He has a long neck with quills extending from the side of its head. It controls the mind and body of its host. Drop down onto the plate near the blowhole. Bilocyle will attack by spitting toxic wads at Link. Use the sword to send the toxic wads back at Bilocyle. As the wad comes at Link use an upward strike directed toward the quills on either side of his head. A skyward strike also works. Once the quills fold up, concentrate on the head. After a number of hits Bilocyle is stunned and collapses his head on Levias. Target the eye and slice away. Repeat this attack. In Link’s third attack Bilocyle will spit the toxic wad and then suddenly move his head to one side or the other to avoid Link’s attack. Sometimes he doesn’t move his head and this is when Link strikes. Once it takes enough hits, Bilocyle disintegrates.
Levias asks Link if he brought the soup. He now has his senses back. Levias tells Link that the Goddess Hylia appointed him warden of the skies. He notices Link’s sword and the power deep inside him. Levias knows that Link is the Chosen Hero and has come to hear about the Triforce. Say – "Right". Levias tells Link that the goddess hid the Triforce within Skyloft. He doesn’t know where but he does have a hint. The clue is a song known as "Song of the Hero". The song is the key. The song was split into four parts. Levias has one and the other three parts are among the dragons of the land. Link must convince each of the dragons to teach him their part. When that is done, return to Levias to learn the last part. The dragons are at the Faron Woods, Eldin Volcano and Lanayru desert.
Before Link goes on this quest he should visit Skyloft to take care of business. Go to the Bazaar and talk to the Fortune-teller. He thanks Link and offers to tell his fortune at half price. If Link does, he will be told what he already knows. Assuming Link has been collecting insects and stuff during his leisure, he should buy any potions needed and have them infused. Also pick up anything Link might need from the Gear Peddler. Gondo’s Scrap Shop is next. Get any upgrades Link can afford. Like, quiver enlargement, bomb pouch enlargement and stuff like that. Fi will appear to add "Treasure" dowsing abilities. Go to the Plaza and talk to Parrow. He asks if Link knows Strich. Parrow tells Link that Strich claims to have found an insect paradise inside Thunderhead.
Ring Beedle’s chimes to have him stop his Airshop. Get on board and go to sleep until night. Link awakes at Beedle’s place. Beedle is at his campfire holding a small cage. Talk to him twice and he will tell Link of his dear bug the "Horned Colossus Beetle". Beedle tells Link that it is his most precious possession. Get back in the Airshop and go to sleep until morning. Leave Beedle’s Airshop and head for Thunderhead.
In Thunderhead go to Island #3, the one with the fence around it. Strich is on a platform. Talk to him and he tells Link that he was caught in a thick fog, ending up here. He looked around to discover it is an insect paradise. Strich has decided to raise his insects here. He tells Link he has released a few for Link to try and catch. It’s a game! There are two levels, "Bug Beginner" at 20 Rupees and "Bug Wrangler" at 50 Rupees. As a beginner Link took 7:03 seconds to catch the five bugs. Strich said that Link should shoot for less than 5:00 minutes. Head for the Faron Woods.

)))))))))))))))))))))) THE IMPRISONED BEAST AN ENCORE ((((((((((((((((((((((
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Go to the Faron Woods light point and Fi tells Link that an unusual phenomenon is taking place. It is not possible to descend directly into the Faron Woods. Choose the Sealed Grounds. As Link lands, the earth begins to rumble. Groose runs up to Link to say, "Link, bad news! That Beast looks like it’s about to break free again! Gotta get into position! Hang tight." Groose runs to the catapult. Dark fumes are rising around the Sealed Spike.
At the catapult Groose tells Link not to panic because he knows what the Groosenator can do. "Fling bombs on this monsters face,…It’s why I’m here." As Link reaches the spike the Beast breaks free. The electrical pulse from its feet, have more range and the tail is swaying back and forth. Wait for Groose to toss a giant bomb flower to stun the Beast before attacking its toes. The Beast will fall. Use the geysers to get to the spike and drive it in. When the Beast recovers this time it has a halo and is floating in the air. Groose plants a giant bomb flower on its head and the Beast falls to the bottom of the pit.
Drop down to the Beast and drive the spike back into its head. The Beast revives. Groose runs to get another giant bomb flower only to find that a stone column collapsed blocking the way. Groose calls to Link to come to him. Groose tells Link that he can’t get to his bombs and that Link needs to get up to the Beast’s head. Climb onto the catapult and fly to the spike on the Beast’s head to drive it back in. The Beast turns bright white and explodes. The spike falls into the opening at the bottom of the pit. The Priestess tells Link to strike the Sealing Spike with a skyward strike to restore the seal. Do so and the spike is set. A triple triangle appears. With the sword, make six slices, diagonal, vertical and horizontal to complete the seal. Groose tells Link to get to the temple.
The Priestess says, "The Beast has been sealed into its prison for a third time." She thanks both Groose and Link. The Priestess asks Link if he is close to finding the Triforce. Say – "Yes". She understands his quest for the Song of the Hero but he must know that the path to the woods is flooded.
To protect the temple she sealed the gate with a spell. To open the gate would flood the area. Groose has an idea and says the problem is solved.
He will use the Groosenator to launch Link into the woods. The Priestess tells Link to seek out the Water Dragon. Go outside and get on the catapult. Groose sends Link on an economy flight to the Faron Woods.
