[edit] Summary
Thrall causes the extinction of the Twilit Parasites and restores Light to Lanayru Province. Then he goes around picking up more stuff than one person should ever be allowed to carry.
[edit] Twilit Parasite hunt #3
This is the biggest Parasite hunt in the game; it covers the majority of Lanayru Province.
When you leave Lanayru's spring you'll see a Twilit Parasite (or, rather, its electric charge) run up the bridge to the left. Don't follow him just yet; instead, go right and swim across the lake to find a Parasite hanging out near the waterfall. Total: 1/16
Head back to the Spring entrance and head along the bridge, then kill the Parasite running around here. Total: 2/16
Head over the next large patch of land to encounter another trio of Twilit Messengers; kill them for yet another Portal you can use. Then run along the wooden planks leading over to the floating house; the third Parasite is flying around behind it. Total: 3/16
Go back to the Portal you just created and look for a slope next to the wooden bridge leading to the spring. Follow it and jump across some gaps: one straight ahead, then one to the right, and finally one to the left. After the third gap, you should be able to go up a hill to find a Parasite hiding in some grass (he'll burrow underground if you're too slow). Total: 4/16.
- Don't fall off the platforms, or you'll have to swim all the way back to Fyer's house and try again. Not fun.
With these four Parasites taken care of, head to the small island near Fyer's place and use the Hawk Grass to call that giant Twilit Kargarok; we need to get up the river, and he's exactly what we need to do that. Keep an eye on the mini-map for the four Parasites on the way up; as you approach some Parasites, activate your Senses and L-Target one, then use A to charge into it. You'll kill it and grab the Tear at the same time. Total:8/16
At Upper Zora's River, run over and check Iza's spirit (sitting on the steps) to make another Parasite pop out of the steps; kill it and run up the steps to cross the river. Total: 9/16
On a tall ledge overlooking the river is another Howling Stone; use it to cause the golden wolf to appear in West Hyrule Field.
- This time, the tune's the Requiem of Spirit from Ocarina of Time!
Listen to the Zoras nearby to hear about a waterway that leads to Hyrule Castle. Don't follow them just yet though; there's some more Parasites in Zora's Domain.
Head into Zora's Domain and deal with the two Parasites in the center of the pool of water (stand on the floating plant-things so you can attack), then head past the two rocks jutting out of the water on the east side and follow the ramp to another one buried in the ground. Total: 12/16
head to the west side of the pool and use M-jumps to make your way up the waterfall. Keep an eye out for a trail of Rupees; when you find it, follow it and jump across to a ledge. Follow the ledge to another Parasite. Total: 13/16
Now warp to the top of the Domain and ram the southeast wall to knock another one down. Total: 14/16
Finally we can go get the Tear in Castle Town. Leave Zora's Domain and follow the river until it splits; take the branch to the right to end up back in North Hyrule Field. Head for the western entrance, where you're stopped by another trio of Messengers. Deal with them to create a much-needed Portal, then go into town and grab the Tear next to Telma's Bar. If you killed the Parasite the first time you came here, the Tear should just be floating around in the alley. Total: 15/16
That's all of the Parasites marked on the map, but... we're still missing one? Lo and behold, the missing Parasite appears out of nowhere back at Lake Hylia! Warp over there and swim out to some floating debris in the water.
[edit] Twilit Bloat
Say what you will about Bloat; I think it looks cool.
A huge ball of electricity floats up out of the water, but there's nothing else... Turn on your Senses to see the biggest, nastiest Parasite ever.
Bloat will fly around a bit before trying to ram you; when it attacks, jump to the side and pounce on it, then hammer the A button until it shakes you off. You'll need to do this three times to move on. Fortunately, there's crates with Hearts on the debris in case you get hit (unfortunately, Bloat seems to enjoy breaking them as it's flying around...).
After three bite sessions, Bloat will just float on its back in the water and play dead. Jump onto its stomach and charge an area attack, then let it loose to hit all six of the orange bulbs sticking out of it.
Bloat's defeated, and it leaves behind the final Tear of Light (we should at least get a huge Tear for that...); grab it to return the Light and initiate an annoying cutscene where Lanayru (in the form of a giant snake) tells you the history of the Fused Shadows.
[edit] Sidequesting mania!
Lanayru Province is huge, so there's going to be a LOT to do.
[edit] Lantern Cavern 2
Since we're starting out at Lake Hylia, we may as well start here. Wander around near the south side of the lake until you find a wooden ramp leading to a ladder. Climb the ladder and look for a boulder in the left wall. Blow it up to reveal the second Lantern Cavern.
- One of the wooden crates nearby has a Fairy in it if you need one. Also, make sure you have at least one more Bomb (don't worry about having a full supply; there's 3 chests with Bombs inside), and that one of your Bottles is empty so you can get some Yellow Chu Jelly.
- There's a lot of money to get in here, but don't worry about running out of room in your wallet. We'll have to come back later anyway, and by then we'll have a bigger one. Every chest I don't mention is money.
Head north to the first room and light the torch in the center so you can see without your Lantern (try to conserve Oil as much as you can). Blow up the boulders in here to open the way forward and a couple alcoves with chests; one chest (guarded by Keese) has some Bombs and the other has 10 Rupees. Head east and turn north.
Light another torch and kill a Yellow Chu (it's actually 2 Chus merged together, so you can refill your Lantern and bottle some for later), then bomb the east rock to continue. Quickly light the next torch and retreat to the hallway to avoid an Imp Poe, and use Bomb Arrows to open the northern tunnel and an alcove to the east (which has a chest with Arrows inside).
Head up the north tunnel, but be careful of the pits (and Tektites). Snipe a Beamos in the next room and (after lighting the torch to the east) bomb the west rock to move on. Lighting the two torches in here makes a chest with an Orange Rupee (worth a whopping 100!) appear; grab it if you have room (if you don't, it'll be here on our next trip) and blow up the west rock to move on.
Light the next torch and kill a Dodongo, then blow up the two rocks. The shaft of light in the north alcove leads back to the entrance (don't take it!), and the west one leads onward. Head west and around the corner. Light another torch and bomb the rocks, then kill the Tektites that came out of the north alcove and open the chest they were guarding for some more Bombs.
Now go down the west tunnel, and watch out for the pits. Shoot another Beamos- okay, this is getting boring. I'll just tell you which hallways to take from here: north, south (bomb a rock in the next room for more Bombs), east (Slingshot ammo in the north alcove for some reason...), south (watch out for lots of pits, Keese, and Torch Slugs). In the final room, light the two torches (careful of the Imp Poe) to make a chest with a Piece of Heart appear! Piece of Heart Total: 15/45
- Heart Container Total: 8/20
Leave through the shaft of light behind the chest.
[edit] Flight-by-Fowl
If you easily become mentally scarred by strange people who dress a lot like clowns, I suggest you either forget about a 100% clear or find somebody to do this part for you. Or suck it up, grow a pair, and do it yourself
After the lengthy trip through Lantern Cavern 2, head out into the lake and go to Fyer's house (shouldn't be hard to find). Talk to him, he spouts some mumbo-jumbo about "fantastication" and offers to send you on a "ride" for 10 Rupees. Pay up and walk into his house, which turns out to be a giant cannon in disguise. He shoots you up onto a wooden platform attached to a house high above the lake.
- Until you get another ability later in the game, Fyer's cannon is the only way to leave Lake Hylia.
First look up at the roof of the house and locate a fan near the corner; throw your Gale Boomerang at it to stop a rotating platform on an island far below (you don't have to do this, but it makes the next part a lot easier). Now head inside (after Midna interrupts you) and go down the ladder, and look for a strange guy inside. Talk to the weird guy, who'll lend you a Cucco for 20 Rupees. Pay up, grab a Cucco, and jump off the ledge to get away from this creep.
Steer the Cucco down to the tiered island floating on the lake. The smallest platform (on top of a tall pole, and an orange circle on it) is where you should try to land (if you didn't turn the fan, it'll be spinning and harder to land on). This is what you'll find in the chests on the island, from the highest tier (rotating platform) to the lowest one (second one from the bottom): 100 Rupees, Piece of Heart (Piece of Heart Total: 16/45), 50 Rupees, 20 Rupees, 10 Rupees. Claim your prizes, then pay Fyer another 10 Rupees to get back out of the Lake Hylia area.
- The Orange Rupee on the rotating platform respawns; if you keep taking a Cucco down to the chest, you can get 70 Rupees (100 - 10 for Fyer's cannon and 20 for a Cucco) each trip.
[edit] Hidden Skill #3: Back Slice
From Falbi's place, head up the wooden steps and head towards Castle Town (optionally find some Horse Grass near the road to get Epona), but hang a left when you get to the western bridge to town. Follow the wall until you find a raised ledge, where you'll see the Golden Wolf. Climb up and go to him to learn the Back Slice.
- The Back Slice is one of the best Hidden Skills in the game; with it, you're more than a match for most of the advanced enemies you'll face (even the high-end guys like Darknuts). Use it, master it, and above all else, LOVE IT!
