Snowpeak Summit: Descent to a Yeti’s House
Enter a cavern thick with cool air. The Reekfish trail continues to a ladder. If you’re in wolf form, dig for Hearts and Rupees at the multiple dig spots, then transform. Watch the icy boulders at your sides; they can freeze you. Clawshot to the vine ceiling.
This takes you to a long stepped cavern heading upward. Defeat an Ice Keese along the way, then smash the crates, skulls, and pottery for the usual prizes. There are dig spots up here, too. At the vine wall atop the steps, watch for another Ice Keese, then use the Clawshot to reach the top passage, leading to a door. Exit.
Warp Portal As you reach the summit, you see a dozen Ice Keese flittering about. Run to them, and then watch as a portal opens, and three Twilit Messengers descend. As you may strike Keese during this combat, huddle all the Messengers together and then defeat them all with a spin attack or Midna’s area strike. You can now warp back here whenever you please! |
|
Once the Warp Portal forms, this is the optimal time to visit the White Wolf in the Graveyard and learn Hidden Skill #6. |
With the Twilit Messengers dispatched, night falls, and you can see a large hunched fellow standing next to a tree with some giant frozen leaves attached to it. This is where the Reekfish trail leads you, so head up to this small platform.
You meet Yeto the Yeti and he tells you a hilarious joke. He mentions that he has seen a shard of the Mirror for which you’re looking. He invites you to his house, then bashes the nearby tree, leaps on a fallen leaf, and slides down the mountain!
Missing Links
1. Rare Color of Wolf! Tasty!
If you approach Yeto as a wolf and listen to him, he looks at you and waggles his fish. Although you’re tasty, he’s having Reekfish tonight!
Yeto: About 40 years old, Yeto is a male Yeti, with a massive frame. He’s cheerful and happy, and Yeta’s husband. They live in an old mansion on a remote and snowy clifftop. Yeto was out hiking one day and found a shard of Mirror. He didn’t know it was cursed, and he gave it to Yeta, who has been feeling ill ever since. When you meet Yeto, he’s carrying a fish home, hoping his cooking will improve Yeta’s health. |
Slip-Sliding to Yeto’s House
You must follow Yeto to his home, and the only way to reach it is via an icy leaf slide. Roll into the tree to dislodge a leaf, then stand on it. You’re about to slide down a mountain on this leaf, so prepare yourself! Step on, draw your sword, and let’s go.
|
Sliding down on this leaf is easier if you know the following techniques:
|
Speed down the slope, and you automatically launch over the precipice that stopped your journey on foot.
When you reach this point, you can leap onto either snowbank on the side and collect the Rupees. This isn’t necessary though.
When you reach the bridge with the gaps in it, don’t jump! You may land in a gap and have to race again. When you pass the Keese, try a spin attack to defeat them.
When you launch off this hill ramp, keep straight, and land on three tiny platforms on three trees. Each has a valuable Rupee on it: blue (5), red (20), and purple (50). Hit all three and keep your speed up.
Watch out for icy shards! They stop you in your tracks, so slide to the side of them, then spin attack to destroy them.
Leap at this point, on the left side of the course, if you want to take a frightening shortcut!
It leads up a bridge holding Rupees, and off onto a series of thin ledges with a bottomless cliff on each side! Slow down and take each ledge straight on, or go the slow route, which is less dangerous.
If you stay on the slow route, go under the bridge, then smash this ice shard, and slowly glide around the course, staying away from the drop on your right.
Stay straight as you reach this gap in the course. With Yeto’s house in the distance, coast along.
After winding around a long, flat, ledged rock, you arrive at the bridge to Yeto’s house. Get off your leaf, run up the steps, smash the pottery, and explore Dungeon 5!
Poe #45  Before you enter Yeto’s house, transform into the wolf, and run over the bridge to check out the plateau rock. Climb up the ledges to the top, and engage an Imp Poe in combat. It appears here no matter the weather. Defeat it, then scrabble for Rupees and Hearts in the dig spots.
