DEEPWOOD SHRINE- BASEMENT ONE
When you enter the dungeon, walk straight ahead and push the middle statue to 
the left to continue. This next room is slightly darker with many Sluggulas. 
Defeat them all then press all four buttons to reveal a chest with a SMALL KEY. 
Now unlock the door to the north. In this room, Sluggulas will drop from the 
ceiling so be careful. Go to the northeast corner of the room and pull on the 
handle with R to make the bridge expand. Now grab a hold of the mushroom and 
pull yourself back. Then without letting go of R, press the control pad to the 
right to jump across the water gap. Now continue north. In here is a large 
barrel. Go to the right and walk up the stairs and press the button to light 
the torch which burns off the ivy holding the barrel. Now go inside the barrel 
and walk to the northwest and exit the barrel. Go left some then south and walk 
up more steps and walk as far north on this ledge as possible without jumping 
off, the make your way to the right of the statue. Move it onto the switch to

make all of the ivy burn away. Now enter the barrel. It now will move, so run 
over to the southwest until the door appears and exit the barrel. Now continue

far as possible. Let go to fly to the north. Walk up the stairs to the right

the middle to place yourself right in the middle. Now continue west. In this 
room, kill the Pesto flying around, the push the pot to the northwest on the

ledge. Now go to the right side. In this room, avoid the falling Sluggulas then

BOSS BATTLE- GIANT CHU JELLY
There will be a small sceen where it shows a normal Chu Jelly jump onto the 
shirne. In will lower itself into the dungeon, but since you are small, this 
guy is huge! Here is how to beat him: Use the Gust Jar to suck up the goo at 
the base of the Chu. When done enough, he will become unstable and his head 
will fall to the ground. Now run over to his head and slice it up as many times 
as you can. Repeat the process, but this time he will jump around a lot so wait 
until he stops jumping to suck up the goo. Once he is defeated, you will 
receive the EARTH ELEMENT. Now run over and pick up the HEART CONTAINER. Now 
exit via the blue portal.
