The aim here is to use the switch to open the right door. Go north to reach a room with blocks in the middle, two sparks either side, and a switch above. The aim now is the fight the mini-boss a further two times, forcing it spawn back in the empty room we visited earlier for a fourth and final encounter. Once done, go right and open the chest to read a message from the 'Master' that it has taken the item.

How to find the Catfish's Maw mini-boss three more times The only other thing of note in the encounter is if you are too far away it will leap to your position - if that happens, quickly equip your shield to protect yourself. Repeat this three times to win the battle and force it to retreat. Now lay a bomb, which will injure it upon detonation. The former method is much easier, provided you have enough bombs on you.Įither method won't properly hurt it though, as once you have struck it with your sword, it'll crumble to the ground. There's two ways to do this - one is detonate a bomb behind it, forcing it to turn around (to do this, lay a bomb as it is walking towards you) or move around the boss anti-clockwise at just a distance so when it swings it'll miss you and leave itself exposed.

To damage the mini-boss, you need to attack where it is exposed. Good to know, because that advice is what we need for the mini-boss in the next room. Clear the enemies to open the door, and use the Stone Beak on the owl to learn that if you cannot defeat a skeleton with a sword, use a bomb. Go back right two rooms to where you first emerged after using the Small Key, and head north. Go left here twice, clearing all the enemies as you go, to receive the Stone Beak from a chest. Head back through the side-scrolling section to the room where you found the Compass, and go north. The room left of here with the four coloured corner tiles is empty, but we'll be coming back later - so make a note of its location. Clear the crystals and move the outside blocks in towards the centre, creating a square. When you emerge, you're in a room with four blocks surrounded by crystals. The second set alternates the connected platforms, but the same principles apply. Jump on the closest one to raise the other up, but only enough so you can still leap across it using Roc's Feather.

This side-scrolling section revolves around weights as platforms. Open the chest for the Compass, then down the steps. Head left, and left again, clearing out the enemies to open the door which, again, goes left.
