#35 The Shipyard
<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>
As Link navigates into the new waters he will find many powder kegs floating about. Further in Link will run into Electro Spumes and on some islands Red Bokoblins. He may also encounter a few "Gyorgs". They look like a shark. It is really a Turkey shoot using the nifty cannon. At the shipyard Link sees many industrial buildings and a broken overhead rail system. On the dock the Skipper says, "We’ve arrived, vrrm!" He looks to a large building and tells Link that it is the construction bay. But the entrance is closed. The Skipper tells Link that all the locations are linked via mine-cart track. Walk along the dock to a round platform. On the left is a Bird Statue. Ahead is a staircase to another platform. On this platform is the lower end of a trolley. To the left is a walkway to an Iron Gated door. Turn right and follow this walkway to the next platform where Link will find two Lizalfos. After defeating the Lizalfos turn left and go up the staircase to another platform. Look to the right and go into the mine-cart building. There is a plaque on the building that reads: "To the shipyard center".
As Link enters the building look to the right. It is the Goron, "Gortram". He is the owner/operator of the mine-cart rail, the "Rickety Coaster". Gortram tells Link that people still ride the mine-carts. He suggests that Link read the safety postings on the wall before riding in a cart. The posters are an explanation on how to control the cart. Get in and ride the mine-cart to the next station. Get out and follow the walkway to a staircase leading to a small building. Inside, Link will be attacked by a number of Arachas. Down to the far end of the hallway is a trolley going down to the platform near the dock. In the middle of the hallway to the right is a walkway leading to another mine-cart station.
Inside is an old broken robot and a plaque reading: "To the construction bay". Get in the cart and get ready for the ride of Link’s life. Link arrives at the construction bay to find two broken robots, several barrels and a Bird Statue. Open the door and enter. Fi appears to confirm Link’s arrival at the shipyard construction bay. The scene shows a large pit filled with sand and a large claw/grapple hanging above the pit. Fi suggests looking in the sand for a clue. There are a few Arachas to deal with. Equip the Gust Bellows to blow away the sand and suddenly mama Aracha appears, a Thousand Year Arachnid. Its weakness is its eyeballs. One each mounted
inside its two claws. The other, in the center of its forehead. The
Arachnids main weapons are the two claws and the stinger in the tail. After six or eight strikes with the sword, the eyeball and the claw will be destroyed. When both claws are destroyed, it will disappear under the sand. It will then randomly strike at Link with its stinger. Equip the Gust Bellows to blow away the sand around the Arachnid to expose its body. "Z" target the third eye and use a forward thrust to damage it. After several strikes to its eye, the battle is over. The Arachnid collapses and disintegrates.
Fi will appear to tell Link that the chances of finding a clue are zero and Link should report back to the captain. Go to the Skipper and he will tell Link that there is only one place left to look. He tells Link that it is the stronghold of the pirates who stole his ship. Say –Lets go- Skipper tells Link that the pirate captain is a mechanical maniac and he has a shortage of underlings. He then marks the map with a Red "X".
