1

Four Poe sisters

The elevator in the main room will not work until the four colored flames return. Explore each wing for Poe encounters and small keys.

2

Twisted corridor

Shoot the eye switch to rotate the corridor/room, allowing access to floor/wall paths that were previously impossible.

3

Fairy Bow

Defeat the Stalfos room sequence for the bow. Use it to shoot eye switches and Poe paintings.

4

Basement rotation

After restoring the flames, ride the elevator down and push the rotating wall to access the final switches/doors.

5

Phantom Ganon

Shoot the real rider as he exits a painting. In phase two, volley his energy ball back with the sword until he is stunned, then attack.

Stuck here?
  • If the central elevator is missing, you have not restored all four Poe flames.
  • The hallway twist is controlled by an eye switch; shoot it again to swap orientations.
