Q. How do you get the Skulltulas to expose their stomach?
A. Hit it with the sword until it turns around and then stab it in the stomach. Answer provided by gregor1997

This is incorrect. I tried this and ended up dying a number of times.

You have to hit it with a horizontal swing and then thrust forward at it's stomach.

I know I am not the best games player in the world but ... these spiders are beginning to pee me off !!! And I have barely started the Forest Temple !!!!!! Someone posted the other day that the ones hanging on a single line are killed with a upwards sword swing and then killer blow but that doesn't work for me. Sideways swing seemed to expose the stomach eventually.

As for the ones sitting on webs ....

Okay. Crawled, hit the first switch with my slingshot. It open the door to the left, went into it. Through that room - over the vines (avoiding the spiders)

... maybe you can't kill the spiders on the webs - you just avoid them ?

Spiders "hanging" from webs: Horizontal slice makes them go side to side and eventually turn around. When they turn around you will see the purple spot on the belly. When you see the purple spot, you forward jab it a couple of times.

Spiders walking on the ground: Vertical slice up, it flips the spider over. then you fatal strike it from above.

Spiders sitting in their webs: I ignored these (cut a hole in the web and walked though beside the spider) But you can cut them down and kill them if you want.

Sorry to sound thick but is that just one horizontal slice, and wait, for several horizontal slices ? Whenever I try the latter, it ends up spinning the spider round to the sides of me.

Fatal strike is "thrust both nunchuk and wimote forward" right ?

Yea when i did the ones hanging i would just horizontal slice once and then wait. After a few seconds if it hadn't turned around i would horizontal slice again.

And yes, the fatal strike (i think that's what its called) thrusting both nunchuck and wiimote forward or whatever.

The first dungeon, Skyview temple i think...room with Spider. kill spider. there's a message like "hit the switches, one above, one below"

Probaly not a good description but anyone got any idea where these switches are or what i'm supposed to do? thanks!

Spoiler

The switches are at the main room, there is a space where you crawl to find the room with the first switch, it will then flood the area so you can reach the second, at the top.

Okay. Crawled, hit the first switch with my slingshot. It open the door to the left, went into it. Through that room - over the vines (avoiding the spiders) then it lead me back to the main room. There was a treasure chest there with the dungeon map, but no idea where the second switch is? thanks

First dungeon. Anyone? sorry for reposting so soon!

Hey, the second switch is under the water under a bridge i believe. It will be close to the door you are trying to open.

There is a stone that says which way to jump. Says something about jumping off into the sleeping statue. In other words, jump off of the side with the statue that has its eyes closed.

My Goddess Cube dowsing tell me there is some cubes inside the first temple. I'm after the 6th temple, the woods just came back to normal, already have all items. Already got the tricky cube outside of the temple (just above it), but since I can't dowse INSIDE the temple I can't find the cube. If I dowse just outside, it directs me towards the entrance, with a big glow (definitely inside the temple). I just re-did the temple, killed like 3 or 4 mini-bosses (they still show up), but can't find the damn cube.

There is one cube at a branch of the big tree at Faron Woods too, there is nothing above it (like a ledge that I could fall from), there is no grass so I could latch the claws, nothing. I'm talking about the cube in a platform connected to other one with a rope. There is nothing suspicious/interesting in both platforms, don't know why the rope, except if I could get in one platform and use the rope to reach the other one with the cube. But how?

Fire Sanctuary

Spoiler

I need to get past some flames and I'm in the area where there are a lot of water fruits but I have no clue how to get the water into the frogs mouth. Also the Mogma dude in the next room is hanging from the chain and I already used the Gust Bellows to blow off the hot magma but no idea how to free him, I'm guessing I'm not supposed to yet but I dunno.

If you jab the fruit it gets stuck to your sword, and then you can bring it to where you need it. As for the guy hanging, there is a switch in a room you probably haven't been in yet, you will see it soon enough.

to the cube in the woods. when you enter the woods chose the bird statue "great tree" then go up where the animal sleeps. there will come a few bats. and there you can fall down to the platform and go over the rope to the cube. took me some tries but in the end I got it

Lanayru Desert Question

Spoiler

I'm still early in the desert, soon after you first start getting to quicksand. I've ran to a larger room with holes in the ceiling and a minecart in the back right of the room. In the next room there is a cart door, but its closed. To the left of this room is a long quicksand passage that I can't get through. What is my next step? I assume it involves a time stone, but can't find one. Thanks

I used this method to fill my wallet all the way up in no time at all. It works pretty well but its not perfect. I recommend that you save often when you're up!
