Temple of Courage - Crayk

The only hiccup we had in getting to this place was a puzzle asking us to stamp its location onto our sea chart. The answer was quite ingenious - you have to literally close the DS to make the two screens touch, thereby "stamping" the two maps together. Hotel Dusk had a similar spot, but it's a great idea nonetheless.

This is the first dungeon where you'll need to make lots of notes on the map. Up, Down, Right, Left is a sequence you'll use once for pull switches and again for arrow-triggered eyeballs on the wall. The first floor has a bombable wall in the upper left hand corner that contains a much-needed map and two treasure chests. Later on, in the basement, you'll see one lit torch and many unlit ones. Well, just pass the boomerang through one and then to all the rest to light them up. Soon enough you'll be here:

When he's about to grab you, send an arrow into his face and he'll curl back into his shell. Then pound on the blue spheres along his back. Once they're gone, he'll break out of the shell and come after you yet again. Use the boomerang to stun him, run around to slash his blue tail and soon enough you'll be looking at another fairy. But something's not quite right...

Check back soon for more hints and tips for the remaining dungeons!
