Navigate the Temple of Courage in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Includes puzzles, enemy strategies, and item locations like the square crystal.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Proceed straight north, past two rolling spike logs, then east past a third.
  2. 2
    Go south to a spinning disc trap. Step briefly in its path, then immediately out of the way when it moves.
  3. 3
    Move through the small passage where the disc was, and be quick as it will not be gone for long.
  4. 4
    Proceed around and step on the switch to open the door back to the first room.
  5. 5
    Head up the stairs and across the bridge to find a small key.
  6. 6
    Go back down the bridge and proceed back through the entrance or the spinning disk room to reach the locked door.
  7. 7
    Proceed through and around to a room with two worms. Hit the red spot at the back of their tails to defeat them, avoiding the rest of them.
  8. 8
    Proceed through the door and down the stairs.
  9. 9
    On the next level, step on the large moving block to the left of the stairs and ride it across.
  10. 10
    Defeat the armored bug by striking it with your sword until it falls off the edge.
  11. 11
    Step onto the next moving block, then onto another block halfway across the gap.
  12. 12
    Use your Boomerang to hit the switch to the north before proceeding up the stairs.
  13. 13
    Upstairs, avoid the green slimes and moving chain of electric balls. Kill the slimes.
  14. 14
    Make your way north past the lowered red blocks to a room with two stone slabs.
  15. 15
    Note the information: monsters with big ears are vulnerable to loud sounds, and the sequence is Up, Down, Right, then Left. This applies to the entire temple.
  16. 16
    Grab a bomb and blow a hole in the wall between the two stone tablets.
  17. 17
    In the next room, open the chest containing a Ship Part and the other chest containing a Power Gem.
  18. 18
    Observe the map on the wall showing a path for the invisible floor in the basement. Mark this path.
  19. 19
    Head back to the stone blocks, blow them up, and defeat the Green Chu-Chu by first stunning it with your Boomerang then attacking. Attacking head-on will cause it to shrink into the ground.
  20. 20
    Proceed south past more Green Chu-Chus, then step on the switch to the east.
  21. 21
    Head up the nearby platform to find a Monster with Large Ears. Yell into the microphone (mic) to make it sensitive to loud sounds, then slash it once to defeat it.
  22. 22
    Grab the key it drops, then go back to the locked door and head upstairs.
  23. 23
    On the second floor, navigate the maze of blocks using the lever order: Up, Down, Right, then Left.
  24. 24
    Pull the north lever (1), then head west, south, and east to find the south lever (2).
  25. 25
    Head east, then north to find the east lever (3), and then directly across the room is the west lever (4).
  26. 26
    A chest containing the square crystal will appear at the indicated spot (C) after pulling all four levers in the correct order.
  27. 27
    Carry the square crystal to the nearest platform to the south and place it upon the square pedestal, opening the nearby stone slab.
  28. 28
    Head through the door and down the stairs.
  29. 29
    In the basement, navigate the invisible floor between the stone pillars using the path marked on your map. Avoid or knock off armored bugs. Falling off sends you back to the start.
  30. 30
    While crossing the longest part of the path, just south of the stairs you came in on, take a secret invisible path directly south to a chest containing a Big Green Rupee.
Tips
  • The spinning disc trap requires precise timing to pass through.
  • Worms are defeated by hitting the red spot on their tails.
  • Armored bugs can be knocked off ledges with your sword.
  • The sequence Up, Down, Right, Left is crucial for the lever puzzle and the invisible floor.
  • The Monster with Large Ears is defeated by yelling into the microphone.
  • The square crystal must be carried on your head.
  • Falling off the invisible floor in the basement resets your progress for that section.
