Task 3: Locate and Defeat the Third Poe

Chamber 6: First Return to Circular Rotation Chamber (1F to BF), to First Return to Grand Ceremonial Hallway

You must return to the Grand Ceremonial Hallway so the light can float into the ceremonial torch. Head south, back to the rotation chamber, and drop down to the basement level. Rotate the pillar and head up the stairs. Two torches of the four are now lit!

Chamber 5: Second Return to Circular Rotation Chamber (1F)

Look around the hallway, and you’ll see scent from the last two torches. Follow the trail that leads eastward, back to the Circular Rotation Chamber. Dash around the pillar and then use the Small Key you found to open the locked door.

Chamber 7: Chandelier Chamber and Statue Room (1F to 2F)

Enter the large chamber and switch on your sense view. The Poe’s Scent trails off to the south, through the entrance. Step forward and make a sweep of the area, smashing pots and skulls. Then use your Clawshot to extract the Moldorm from the sand so he won’t bother you during the objective to come.

Head north, to the series of small stone tile pieces, and proceed eastward toward the low stone platform ahead. As you reach a gap in the sand, four spikes spring up. Stop and turn, and maneuver around these spikes as they lead you in an erratic course to the edge of the platform.

Once on the platform, head to the cube-shaped cellblock blocking your path. Pull it back, then slot it into the gap between the upper stone platforms to the side. This reveals a Clawshot medallion, which you can use if you decide to return here.

Now head up the steps, and your path is blocked by a giant chandelier. Turn left and climb up onto the upper stone platform. Ignore the nasty-looking spike log and locate the chain handle. Wrench the chain back until the chandelier has risen off the ground. You need to stand on the cube you just pushed to fully extend the chain.

Make sure the chain is fully extended before you let go, or you won’t have time to exit this chamber! As soon as you drop the chain, sprint up the steps and then run south and reach the stairs. Or better yet, stop in the middle of the walkway, in the lit circle, and let the chandelier drop around you. Then climb over it, and drop off. Battle up the stairs to the second floor.

Treasure Chest: Battle to the top of the stairs, into a small chamber with a statue on a pedestal. Check the tiny southern alcove for a treasure chest. Open it to discover the Compass.

Treasure Chest #5:

Compass

Compass

You got the Compass! This handy tool shows you where to find objects hidden in this dungeon.

Head north, back to the statue and pedestal, and rotate it 90 degrees. The whole room moves, and a passageway to the east and west is now revealed! The Poe’s Scent drifts off to the west, but don’t follow it yet. Check the small dead end—or should that be Redead end? One of these feared foes shambles to life, attack with biting grapples as the wolf.

Treasure Chest: Inspect the room thoroughly. Redeads usually drop a red Rupee (20), so steal that, then the arrows, Rupees, and Hearts from nearby pots. Finally, pry open the chest for another Small Key!

Treasure Chest #6:

Small Key

Small Key

You got a Small Key! This opens a locked door, but only in this area.

Chamber 8: The Ruined Corridor (2F)

Head back to the pedestal statue, and go around to the locked door in the opposite wall. Use the key and step through into a corridor with ruined floors. The scent wafts through here. Follow the corridor around, using your sword to defeat the Stalkins wobbling toward you. Turn the corner to face north, and you see a Redead behind these Stalkins, so keep your distance, retreating a little until all the Stalkins have come to you. Then aim and fire two Bomb Arrows at the Redead, or attack in wolf form. Continue around the next corner, and repeat the plan on a second Redead!

When the tattered foes have fallen, smash pottery for items, and then stop for a moment. Keep your sense view on, and you’ll see the Poe’s Scent disappears into the floor. Dig to discover a handle. Pull that chain, and the entire adjacent wall slides back!

Poe Soul #40 This reveals the third Poe’s hiding spot, which doesn’t even appear on the map! Bare your fangs and attack! Once you defeat the Poe, he deflates, and the torch light returns to the Grand Ceremonial Hallway. Check this secret room for a pot with a Heart in it. Poe Soul You got the Poe Soul! Collect one from each Poe you defeat! Poe Soul #40 of 60.
