Happy birthday!

Get some rum cake!
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 08, 2007, 09:57:36 AM
Chances of me getting rum cake are 0%. Maybe less. And it'll be choclate. AND I GOT OoS! (It's actully sitting right next to me, still on, in Gnarled Root Cavern.)

Ah, seasons is my favorite of the Oracles. Enjoy it!

I'm at the boss, and it's giving me a hard time. Any tips?
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 12:16:45 PM
Which boss? describe it.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 08, 2007, 12:17:31 PM
It looks like a huge green dragon.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 12:18:35 PM
Umm...what item did you get in the dungeon, and how does the boss attack?
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 08, 2007, 12:20:55 PM
The seed sachel, and it blows fire. First dungeon.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 12:21:41 PM
Does the dragon have a horn?
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 08, 2007, 12:22:06 PM
Yep.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Mysterious F. on May 08, 2007, 12:23:07 PM
The Seed Satchel actually holds magical seeds, the ones you have right now create fire. You'll get more soon.

Anyways, the weak point for Aquamentus (the dragon boss) in it's horn on top of its head. Ten hits with the sword should do it. But be careful.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 12:23:17 PM
Yeah, attack that horn. A lot. With your sword.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Mysterious F. on May 08, 2007, 12:26:50 PM
A bit too late, Shika.

Also, when you beat it, you'll be sent out of the dungeon, and go left. You'll find a shadow flying around. Then a witch appears. Run into her. She drops things, and so does you. It's a game! Collect them all! Go for the rarest items first. (Seeds, then Hearts, then Rupees)

After that, burn the two small trees at the same place where you meet the wirch and you'll find stairs. Go down them, talk to an old man, and get 100 rupees.

Also, the witch's name is Maple. Every 30 enemies you kill, she appears. But some palces she won't appear.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 12:27:55 PM
You're mean. :'(

wow, don't spoil the whole game for her... ;D
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 08, 2007, 12:29:54 PM
Eh, it's fine. Thanks for that, whenever people frop things, I have a wierd tendency to run for money first...
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Mysterious F. on May 08, 2007, 12:31:42 PM
Then the seeds. Also, remember, some of the stuff dropped was yours.

You're now going to go east of Horon Village, into the Winter Woods. The plot will thicken. Good luck.  ;D

Post by: Hi no Seijin on May 08, 2007, 12:38:38 PM
First off, the alcohol in rum cake would be cooked out, so you can't get drunk eating rum cake.  Unless my mom lied to me.  But I don't think she would do that.

Second, I thought Maple appeared every thirty screens.  I'd check, but I already packed up my games (save the ones in my GBA, DS, and DS carrying case).

Third, happy birthday.  Ask for duct tape. :)
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 12:40:10 PM
Well then, where's the fun in that? :(

Yes, it is thirty screens, because I remember going back and forth between two screens, not killing anyone to make her come.

PInk duct tape is the best. It's all shiny.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Mysterious F. on May 08, 2007, 01:05:15 PM
She actually appears in several screens. I suggest the ring shop screen.

Post by: violinist on May 08, 2007, 01:21:51 PM
Woo yeah! I made it to Subrosia! But now I'm stuck with that stupid dance.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 01:33:34 PM
Ooh I love that dance, so much fun...
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Hi no Seijin on May 08, 2007, 01:39:03 PM
The Subrosian Dance is easier than the Goron Dance for me.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 01:42:06 PM
They were both easy for me, but whatever...I just like dancing...
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Mysterious F. on May 08, 2007, 01:45:59 PM
The Subrosian Dance may take a while for some. I actually beat it on my first try. You'll make it eventually. You'll get a cool reward if you do, and use it to get even cooler a reward.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Gamefreak on May 08, 2007, 02:09:10 PM
Goron dance was way harder than the Subrosian Dance.

Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 08, 2007, 03:25:59 PM
Now I'm in the second dungeon. Where's the Goron dance?
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 03:39:09 PM
That's in the other game, don't worry about it.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: darkphantomime on May 08, 2007, 04:03:47 PM
SOOOOOO... umm... did you get anything else for your birthday?
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 04:04:48 PM
apparently nothing else she cares about lol....wait you were asking for a PS2 weren't you? How's that turn out?
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Commodore Axilon on May 08, 2007, 04:18:56 PM
Her mom couldn't find one, or something like that.

And yeah, that's not very much in the way of birthday presents. No money or anything? ;D
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: DW on May 08, 2007, 04:24:05 PM
If I were her I would demand a pony. and if they didn't give it I would threaten to move out.

Not really, but that's what my sister would do does all the time.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 09, 2007, 05:51:36 AM
Wellllllll...

I got lots of money, which I will use to get a new DS because our current one broke, and I got Nintendogs. Oh, and a dart gun. I pretended I was a Gerudo, and it was fire magic.

Nintendogs.

???Please no. That is the most annoying game....ugh...
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 09, 2007, 10:21:10 AM
I like it.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Mysterious F. on May 09, 2007, 12:16:01 PM
Anymore help needed? I'm an Oracle of Seasons master. I memorized EVERYTHING except the seventh dungeon, which was harder than the eigth, in my opinion.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: darkphantomime on May 09, 2007, 02:18:43 PM
Hmm... the seventh dungeon...

OH YEAH! That was FUN! gotta love the roc cape.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 09, 2007, 06:03:24 PM
I liked Roc's Cape in MC. Whocares, what do you do after the second dungeon?
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: darkphantomime on May 09, 2007, 06:41:35 PM
Umm... You explore Holodrum some more, find a portal to Subrosia, and finally get another season added to your rod?

No, really... I think that's what you have to do... but I forgot...
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 10, 2007, 06:00:55 AM
I think I'll just check the TDC walkthrough...

Post by: Zelda Veteran on May 10, 2007, 06:26:29 AM
HAAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Hope you get everything you wanted! (did you make a wish?)
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Mysterious F. on May 10, 2007, 10:15:33 AM
Go north of Horon Village. It'll pick up from there. You'll also meet some tougher enemies, like Moldworms and Tektites. You'll also get a new season. Good luck.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Mysterious F. on May 10, 2007, 10:18:47 AM
To be more specific, go north, move some rocks, and go north to the third seed tree. Then go east to a boxing ring house, win this game, and get some gloves. Back to the tree, head west to a kangaroo, who will help you get to Spool Swamp. You'll find out the rest quickly.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 10, 2007, 11:29:58 AM
I found Ricky, and are now looking for Spool Swamp.

EDIT: Okay, now I'm in the third dungeon.

Geez, man. Let her explore the game on her own a little. Be a bit general and nonspecific. The important thing is to have fun.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Mysterious F. on May 10, 2007, 02:06:01 PM
I liked the Third dungeon. It's very challenging for that point in the game, and you get a cool item and a cool boss battle. The theme is mainly insect/water/flying-themed monsters and there are several puzzles for a Seasons game. Good luck.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: darkphantomime on May 10, 2007, 02:10:02 PM
WEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hmm... I  wonder if she'll ever go full out and get Ages?  :-\

The linked game is MUCH more fun than just one game.

Especially when you play BOTH two or three times EACH in order to discover all the secrets, like having Seasons first, then Ages, or vice versa. Gets quite interesting...

I liked the Hero's dungeon of Seasons... HUGE.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: violinist on May 10, 2007, 02:11:51 PM
I'm hoping for OoA next. And, whoope, I HATE insecty dungeons.
Title: Re:'Tis My Birthday!
Post by: Mysterious F. on May 10, 2007, 02:16:43 PM
I don't like them much, but Poison Moth's Lair is a great dungeon.

I liked Level 6: Ancient Ruins the best. It's jsut so great....

It's in Seasons, violinist, so you'll have to go through it.

There's also, at the beginning of the dungeon, a room you can't find easily. There's a large number of rupees in there. Of course, you'll have to find it!  :P

There was also one in the Snake's Remains. I'll give you a hint: the arrow point to the entrance.
