Right! How the fuck do you kill that firey centipede thing in the Dragon Roost dungeon?

I don't think I even damaged it!

Wait till its about to strike you with it's claws/pincers. It'll sort of rear up like a snake. You can then strike it's eye wich is in the middle. If you strike it it'll roll up into a ball wich can be hacked a few times to kill it.

Throw water on it to make it go like a ball.

[Jon]

aaahh, you mean the boss don't you. Use your sling shot on the dragon's tail.

Don't think it's the boss, just a centipede thingy on a little island in the middle of lava.

I hope so anyway, as I haven't got a sling shot yet!

On Outset island there is a plateau with a forrest. On it, i can see, more or less in the same direction of Link's Grand Ma's house a statue, but i can't find a way to get up there. I've flown to the fairy cave but i didn't a way to continue and getting to that side of the plateau. Am i missing something?

You need the hookshot to get up there. Keep playing.

I have the hookshot. I did find my way there, eventually. Only one Triforce shard to go now.

Wait till it opens its arms then strike. When it becomes a ball strike with your sword a few times.
However there was an area in which they keep popping up. That's because when they are rolled in a bowl you need to throw them on the miniature volcanos. I don't know if that's what your referring to.

He's found the first one of them I think.

Best ways to deal with them that I've found:

Try throwing a vase of water on him. (fire/water=dead).

Later on you will need to make one roll into a ball and place it on something to get a chest to appear (IIRC).

Oh, and you can kill them with an A button slash attack.

[PFVA]

I love the light arrows. they're fun.

I think I'm getting near the end now. I've got all the shards of the tri-force piece and I'm heading for another encounter with Gannondorf. Ooohh, the excitement.

Okay, quick question:

On a couple of the fairy islands there's these weird button things that I can't seem to 'push' down to turn off fire or tentacles, etc.

I've tried bombs, grappling hook, boomerang, nothing seems to work.

Am I there too early (I haven't got the bow yet)?

You are there too early. You need a specific item to push down those things. It's called the skull hammer.

Thought as much.

Thank ewe.

My Zelda cherry has been well and truly popped.

After a gruelling couple of weeks, I managed to finish OoT

Now, all you veterans who are au fait with the various Zeldas (Zaldai?) are probably thinking "So what?", but there's a few things I - as a newcomer - would like to say.

I can't believe how big that game was. I mean, Deus Ex was a big game. That took about 3 sleepless daze to get through. Ocarina was giant. I seem to recall ranting about Jabu Jabu's belly, how that was an unfair increase in difficulty. Well, after persevering through that (which actually meant learning to play the game, always a good idea), then discovering I hadn't even started the game proper yet...

Speaking of "increases in difficulty" - damn, what a well weighted game. Only two bits stood out - Jabu Jabu's belly (the first non-simple part of the game), and Bongo Bongo. Apart from those two instances (each of which benefited from taking a day or two off), it was such a llovely, unfair-feeling-less progression experience

So now I'm onto Wind Waker. It's a bit daunting starting a game and thinking "well, here goes two weeks of my life", but what the hell

I now know why you Zelda afficionados are so keen
