Route at a glance

Great Deku Tree
Climb the central room
Break the floor web
Basement route
Gohma
1

Climb the central room

Use vines/ladders to climb. In the upper rooms, solve the eye-switch and platform puzzles to obtain the Fairy Slingshot.

2

Break the floor web

Return to the high central platform. Light/clear the web if needed, then jump from high enough to break through the large web in the floor.

3

Basement route

Use Deku Stick fire to burn webs, defeat the Deku Scrubs in the correct sequence and crawl through to the boss room.

4

Gohma

Look up to trigger the fight. Stun Gohma’s eye with the slingshot when it turns red, then slash repeatedly. If she climbs to the ceiling, shoot before eggs hatch.

Stuck here?
  • If the center web will not break, jump from the highest available ledge in the central chamber; a short hop does not have enough height.
