[The Real Jdbye]

Where is the goddess cube in the first dungeon? There is one there and not being able to dowse in dungeons, I am clueless to find it.

I found it by chance because I always look around everywhere. It's behind the Skyview Spring.
There's a location guide here: http://www.ign.com/w...d/Goddess_Cubes

So, how is everyone enjoying the game? =D

disappointed

 

[Andrew_DS]

Awww why is that? Not living up to the hype?

I'm really liking the game but in the back of my mind something about it is really bugging me =/ It's really weird =P

 

[Bladexdsl]

it's full of too many gimmicks and doesn't feel like a zelda game.

o well dont really care i've got anno 2070 now like i've told myself over 9000 times "there will always be other games, other challenges"

Anyone know how I can get this goddess cube in Eldin Volcano?

Spoiler

It's the last one I'm missing and I can't reach any of the nearby vines with clawshot. It's past the hot room, near the entrance to the 6th dungeon (or is it 5th? I'm not sure, but I did it last)

Spoiler

Just dump and glide to the platform behind the rock. There is a gossip stone close by, and it will tell you exactly this. If not, the gossip stone by the Academy, at Skyloft, has a video of this. By the way, how do you know that's the last cube?

I dowsed for cubes everywhere in the 3 areas after getting the ability to dowse for them and I've already collected all the other ones. (at the same time I collected the song parts)
I knew there was a gossip stone there because of the butterflies, but couldn't reach them
I haven't used the sheikah stone, it feels like cheating (moreso than checking a guide/asking someone for help)

How many hearts (excluding the two life medals) can you get? I'm at 17 3/4 and out of ideas how to even find one more piece. Also, is there any way to confirm you found all Goddess Cubes other than dowsing and not finding one?


And cris92x, the bigger net helps a lot. Depending on how far you are into the game I'd say in front of the temple is a good spot to get many of them.

You're missing one heart piece. You can only have 18 hearts in this game, you need the 2 medals to complete the full bar.

That's not true you don't need medals to complete the heart bar as im 20/20 now after picking up the guide at midnight. To the guy asking how the game is i completed the main game in 35hrs and 100% the game in 52:05 and i gotta say its my second favorite zelda game next to alttp the game is simply amazing.

How the hell are you supposed to rotate your sword in front of the eyes in the first dungeon? If I swing the WiiMote in a circular motion they just keep watching my sword, if I rotate it too fast Link will just randomly slash with it. I got through the first two by just wiggling around enough with the WM, but that can't be the purpose...

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I'm a bit stuck in Sky Keep. Can't figure out what to do in the triforce room with sand.
Edit: Figured it out using this guide http://www.zeldadungeon.net/Zelda14-skyward-sword-walkthrough-17.php#C17_3 Seems to be complete, should be useful for anyone else being stuck.

 

[Bladexdsl]

did you know in skyloft you can talk to the gossip stone behind the training ground and it tells you how to get past any puzzle/boss?

That's the sheikah stone. It's meant for non-gamers who have never played a zelda game before.

If there's multiple eyes you need to make sure they're watching your sword at the same time. There's a door with one eye, a door with two eyes, and a door with three I'm pretty sure (the third one requires you to push a box around to get the perfect position where all three watch). Then just do the windmill with your arm and it should be fine, slow and steady.

Basically Super Guide for the game. Although almost every boss has really obvious pointers on how to beat them and if they don't, just target them and talk to Fi. Most bosses just boil down to "use the item you just got and then hit their weak points for massive damage". Not that that's a bad thing at all, that's how it's been since the dawn of time.

Side note: How come I think of Fiona from Burn Notice when they say Fi?

gotta complete his push up side quest then he stands right next to the sword training building.

 

[Spidey_BR]

You earn one heart piece from the Goron just outside the Sealed Grounds, you have to draw an arrow in the wall for him.

 

[Giga_Gaia]

If you can get 20 hearts without the 2 medals, then I am missing quite a lot PoH. I can't wait for the strategy guide's PDF.

One PoH I gave up on is the one in shipyard where you must beat 1:05. My best time is 1:11 and no offense, the controls are so terrible, I can't put up with it there.

I want to turn left or right, so I tilt in the appropriate direction, but it does the opposite and I either fall off or lose so much time, I can't do it, it's impossible.

This game doesn't deserve 8/10 or above. The controls alone should drop the score below 8/10 on their owns. It's so terrible, I am sometime dreaming of murdering whoever made them.

I found this weird stone sign thing. It said "He who descended from above: Look to the star that the bird rising heavenward gazes upon, and aim your shot there." I don't get it. And I do sign language myself. "Person who came from above, look up the sky that bird flying up and shoot it" This is my ASL sign language. I can't stand each word because it wont make a sense for deaf. So that why I always use sign language if I can't understand sentence said. So I guess that mean I have to ride the bird up to sky at night and shoot them. Am I right or wrong?

 

[Cilph]

Shoot at the crystal above the door.

 

[KayleElizabethOw]

So I'm stuck in the Temple, and I can't figure out for the life of me how to turn these Damn Skulltulas around.
I've tried like everything, can anyone help?

 

[bradzx]

Shoot at the crystal above the door.

OH. I think I already did hit that switch. Lol.
