The Isle of the Dead is a mysterious island filled with undead monsters and hidden treasures. This guide will help you navigate its challenges.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head east and enter the cave. Examine the book on the table to learn about the island's shape and a hidden treasure.
  2. 2
    To find the treasure, go left and bomb the north wall. Enter the room and navigate the maze of Rupoors, losing Rupees if you touch them.
  3. 3
    Defeat the three Keese in the Rupoor maze using your Bow. Avoid using the sword or Boomerang to prevent accidental Rupoor loss.

    Proceed north past the Rupoors to find 120 Rupees and four chests. Collect the Ship Part, Treasure Map, Courage Gem, and another Ship Part from left to right.
  5. 5
    Head back down and up the stairs to the right, then exit the cave.
  6. 6
    Outside, head west and defeat the Blue Rupee Like-Like. It consumes Blue Rupees when it squeezes you.

    Continue north and defeat the Red Rupee Like-Like.
  8. 8
    Head east and defeat the Stalfos by knocking off their heads with the Boomerang and finishing the skulls with your sword.
  9. 9
    Proceed all the way right and enter the large pyramid.
  10. 10
    Inside, defeat the two Keese. Examine the stone tablet on the right for a clue: "The sacred tree grows from the king's chin. West 13 and north 7. The path to the graveyard where the six sages dwell, hidden underground."
  11. 11
    Head back outside and go to the southeast corner of the island to find a tree.
  12. 12
    From the tree, head 13 squares west and 7 squares north, then dig to find a hole. Jump in.
  13. 13
    Inside, bomb the north wall. Grab the Rupees and the chest containing a Power Gem.
  14. 14
    Check the stone tablet, then head back outside and to the west.
  15. 15
    Navigate the hallway while avoiding rolling boulders. Defeat the two Keese at the start.
  16. 16
    Head north, turn right, and follow the path past more boulders and Keese until you reach stairs. Go up and outside.
  17. 17
    Stand to the left and shoot an arrow east at the switch on the pillar to open a northwest door.
  18. 18
    Go northwest into the graveyard. Read the southwesternmost grave, which directs you north through the first room.
  19. 19
    Follow the path indicated by the graves: north through the first room, east to the second, east to the third, east to the fourth, north to the fifth, and north again to the sixth. This is the path through the Phantom Corridor.

    Return to Brant's Tomb.
  21. 21
