Dragon Roost Cavern

• Dungeon Map: From the dungeon entrance, proceed through the first large chamber. After crossing the initial gap using the Grappling Hook, you'll enter a room with a large lava pit and several platforms. The Dungeon Map is located in the chest on the central platform, accessible by swinging across.
• Compass: In the room immediately following the one where you obtained the Dungeon Map, you'll find a series of platforms and a large, spinning fan. Navigate to the upper level of this room. The Compass is inside a chest on a ledge near the fan, requiring a precise Grappling Hook swing or careful platforming.
• Small Key (x3):
  1. The first Small Key is found in the room with the large, central pillar that can be rotated. Defeat all the enemies (Moblins and Bokoblins) in this room, and a chest containing the key will appear on a raised platform.
  2. The second Small Key is located in the room with the two large, stone blocks that can be pushed. Push the blocks into their respective slots to open a gate. The chest with the key is behind this newly opened gate.
  3. The third Small Key is in the room where you encounter the first Magtail. After defeating the Magtail, use the Grappling Hook to swing across to a small alcove on the far side of the room. The chest containing the key is there.
• Grappling Hook: This essential item is the dungeon's main treasure. After navigating through several rooms and solving a series of platforming puzzles, you will reach a large chamber with a central pillar and a treasure chest on top. Defeat the Mini-Boss (a large, armored Bokoblin) to unlock the chest. The Grappling Hook is inside.
• Heart Container: Awarded upon defeating the dungeon boss, Gohma.

Forbidden Woods

• Dungeon Map: Upon entering the dungeon, proceed through the initial corridor. You'll enter a large, open area with a central tree. The Dungeon Map is in a chest on a raised platform to the left of the entrance to this central area. You'll need to use a Deku Leaf gust to reach it after activating the fan flower nearby.
• Compass: In the room with the large, rotating platform and several Peahats. After activating the fan flower to raise the platform, ride it to the upper level. The Compass is in a chest on a small ledge accessible from this upper platform.
• Small Key (x3):

  2. The second Small Key is located after you acquire the Deku Leaf. In the large central tree chamber, use the Deku Leaf to glide across to a platform on the upper level. Defeat the enemies here, and a chest with the key will appear.
  3. The third Small Key is in the room with the large, carnivorous plant (Mouth Plant). After defeating the plant by feeding it a Bomb, a chest containing the key will emerge from the ground.
• Deku Leaf: This crucial item is found after navigating a series of vine-covered rooms and solving a puzzle involving activating fan flowers. You'll reach a large chamber with a central platform. Defeat the Mini-Boss (a Mothula) to unlock the chest containing the Deku Leaf.
