I cannot find my way out of here! Any suggestions?
Hi Smitty,
If you're referring to the original LostWinds, here is a guide for the Crystal Caverns. It's quite a long area so I'll give you the full guide and then you can work out whereabouts you are:
(The Crystal Mines )
Move into the area. Open the trapdoor by using the pull switch and jump down the hole.
Proceed right and then head upwards and left. (notice the soil patch).
Move the rock from the top left and use it to smash the barrier on the lower right of the area.
Proceed through to the alcove where there are two pressure platforms. Stand on the right hand platform first, this will open the right hand trapdoor.
Burn out the poyak using slipstream and the fire above it.
Gust the seed up and over to the left hand trapdoor.
Stand on the left hand platform to open the left trapdoor and allow the seed to fall down.
Now grab the seed and carry it back to the top area of the level again.
Plant the seed in the soil patch and use the Poyak to reach the higher area exit on the right.
(The Crystal Mines West )
On entering the area, encourage the torch to catch alight by gusting it.
Use this fire to burn the Poyak ahead of you from the soil.
Pick up the new seed behind and carry it upwards and left using the mushroom to bounce higher.
Plant the seed in the soil patch and then use the grown Poyak to launch Toku upwards.
Knock down the Windstone using a gust, and head back down the level to the right with the Windstone.
Vortex smash the Windstone into the barrier and make your way across the water until you reach a soil patch with a sprout in it and a wall between you and a Heli-plant sprout.
Splash soil patch with water to cause the sprout to grow. Gust the Windstone over the wall in front of you so that it falls into the area with the Heli-plant sprout. (it will be used in a moment.)
Launch Toku using the Poyak and drop down into the area with the Heli-plant sprout.
Use the Windstone to break the crystal barrier.
You do not need the Windstone any more in this area so feel free to launch it off somewhere with a vortex gust.
Proceed right into the tunnel that the crystal barrier was blocking, notice the unlit fires along the wall. At the end of the tunnel there is a bonfire and a kalarab. Kill the kalarab (using fire is always fun) and slipstream the fire to the unlit torches along the wall and back to the entrance.
With the last fire lit, use this to burn out the Heli-plant sprout.
Pick up the newly created seed and carry it left to a fertile soil patch. Plant the Heli-seed and then use the newly grown Heli-plant glide upwards and right.
Once on the top level, keep heading right (being careful not to fall down again) and exit the level from the top right exit.
(The Crystal Mines East )
In this area Follow the path downwards, using the fire at the top to light all the torches along the way.
At the end, stand on the pressure platform to open the stone door.
With the door open, gust the rock from the other side into the same area Toku is in.
Place the rock on the pressure platform and move Toku through.
Use the last torch (that you have already lit) to burn out the barrier that is in the way. Exit this area from out from the left side.
(The Crystal Mines )
Move up the stairs and to the top right.
Exit from the top right which will take you into the higher part of the previous area.
(The Crystal Mines East )
Jump over the gap and activate the pull switch, this will activate the trap door below.
Drop back down the level and through the open trapdoor.
Continue right and pick up the Heli-plant.
Leap off the right edge using the Heli-plant to glide across. Draw a slipstream whilst you are in the air to avoid hitting the cavern walls.
Continue flying right until you reach safety.
Drop down into the crystal alcove, you have found the second chest.
Open the chest to release Deo's second memory.
Proceed to the exit on the right.
Hope this helps!
