Start off by going north a screen then kill both of the worms to open the door
to the right -- go through it. Talk to the owl if you want (use a Mystery Seed
on him) then hit the first crystal in this room with your sword. Go back to
the entrance of the level and look in the upper-left corner to find some
blocks. Push the second from the top left once then bomb the cracked block to
clear a path; go left a screen. Kill both of the rabbits to make a chest
appear with the DUNGEON MAP inside. Go back into the entrance room and head
north a screen then right a screen (in the room where you hit the crystal.)

Go up the stairs (to the north) then take the revolving door to get to the
right side -- go right a screen. Head over to the right side of the room and
bomb the cracked block. Once it's gone, throw another bomb over the little
bar that's blocking you and (if thrown correctly) it will blow up the cracked
block inside. Go around to the top (still on the right side of the room) and
push the solid block down then throw yet another bomb over the barricade to
destroy the cracked block. Go back to the south part of the room and push the
block up then hit the crystal with your sword.

Push the block next to the (now broken) crystal up then move the statue over to
the upper-left corner to make a SMALL KEY drop from above -- collect it and
go back into the previous room. Go through the revolving door and head south
a screen then left back into the room where you killed the worms. Use your
small key on the door to the north then drop through the holes in the floor.
Watch out for all the enemies below -- kill them and go south a screen. Slash
at the worm enemy inside the cage until you kill it then go south another
screen. Kill both rabbits with bombs to open the doors, then go north through
the door on the left this time. Head left then north and take the stairs.

Slash the third crystal with your sword then take the stairs back into the
previous room. Go back into the room with the worm enemy in its cage and throw
a bomb at it from behind the barricades to defeat it, thus opening the door to
the south -- go through this door. Go left throw a bomb over onto the moving
walkway but make sure you throw it from a distance so it'll explode when in
front of the switch. Once the switch has been hit, the statue near the north
of the room will come alive -- kill it with a bomb to make a chest with the
COMPASS appear. After getting the compass, take the stairs up.

Go south then head left a screen to find some blocks. In the upper row of
blocks, push the center one up, the left one left and the right one right to
make a SMALL KEY drop from above; collect it. Go left into the previous screen
then hop off the ledge into the room with the rabbits. Ignore them and go
right a screen. Bomb the cracked block then push the solid block out of the
way; you're now back in the entrance room of the level. Go north two screens
back into the room where you fell down the hole in the floor. From here, go
right a screen and make your way through the revolving door. Go south a
screen, left a screen and north a screen to be back in the room with the hole
in the floor. Go right once again and the revolving door will now let you go
north, so go north.

Watch out for the Like-Likes (blob enemies) and go right a screen. Step on
the switch in the upper-right corner of the room to activate the statues then
use bombs to kill all four. Doing so will make another SMALL KEY fall from
above; collect it and go back into the previous room. Use one of your two
small keys on the door to the north and equip your sheild. The tiles in this
room will project themselves at you, so you'll need your shield to deflect
them. Once all tiles and enemies are gone, the doors will open -- go left a
screen. Head south (watch out for moving shrubs), left and north then go into
the narrow area and open the chest to the south for 30 rupees. Go back up and
use your small key on the door to the north.

Ignore the unlit torch in this room and go left a screen. Kill the Mimics and
the worm-like enemies in this room to make a chest appear; open it to get the
SEED SHOOTER. Go back into the previous room and take out your new Seed
Shooter. Fire an ember seed over to the unlit torch in the center of the room
to open the south door -- go through it. Go back around to the right side and
go into the room with the projecting tiles again. Wait for them all to self-
destruct again then go south a screen. In the upper-left corner of this room
is the last crystal. Go right up against the left wall, hold down A or B
(whichever you have the Seed Shooter set to) and position your shooter so it's
facing the crystal -- shoot a seed at it to break it.

If you go south a screen you can find a chest with a GASHA SEED inside. From
here, go left a screen and drop through the holes in the floor again. Go right
a screen, take the revolving door down a screen. If you want, you can get a
Gasha Seed in this room by pushing two of the blocks on the lower-right side
of the room inward then using your Seed Shooter to light the two unlit torches,
otherwise just head left, north, right and take the revolving door up to the
next room. Stock up on bombs by slashing the shrubs then go north a screen to
fight the mini-boss of this level.
