I'm having A LOT of trouble with getting that stupid Dark Ore to Linebeck. I know you have to go through the cave and go through the portals after that to get there in time, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting more than 6 Dark Ore through the cave. Any tips?

First of all, if that giant spider rock monster is still in it, just go through the cave and kill it before you get the ore. That thing will be gone forever once you kill it. Other than that, you just have to get good at aiming at the little spider monsters that hang out in the cave. And make sure you are going through the right portals. After the cave, go south to the desert, make an immediate left, go through that portal which takes you to a different desert portal. There is another portal right near that one that takes you to the forest. I'm pretty sure its impossible to get to Linebeck on time otherwise.

EDIT: Another thing I should add, is in the desert, instead of trying to kill those sand sharks, whenever they come near you, just whistle your train. That will keep them away from you so you don't have to worry about them attacking you.

THANK YOU!!! Unfortunately, I've already bought the Dark Ore, so going through once to kill the Rocktite is either out of the question or going to cost me 300 more rupees.
Thanks again, though.

I think the background ticking is supposed to be like a metronome, but I don't understand how it's supposed to help. I'll try waiting until the camera is centered on Link before I play from now on.

Edit: I tried to do it once more, and after the camera centers on me I find there isn't much time left to play the notes with it spaced out as much as he probably wants the notes to be.

One thing you can do is watch for the bubbles- if you see little bubbles floating off of the note you played, it means you played the note right.

I have noticed occasonally that multiple bubbles would float up at a time, but I thought that meant I was playing the same note repeatedly.

Am I the only one who didn't have trouble with the songs?

Anyways....... I'm stuck in the Tower of Spirits (After the Sand Temple). There's 3 locked doors and I opened the left one. I can't figure out what to do next.

You have to find two more keys. =P There around there somewhere...

Help! I'm stuck at the part where I can't find a Spirit Tracks General Discussion thread, I tried everything!

I wanted to say that I'm loving the game so far, only the evil train guy and the Irish man with horns, the two main villains of the game, haven't been seen since the introductory hour and I'm up to the Fire temple. lolwat.

In Hyrule Castle, I alreadly bombed the rocks that are blocking the stairs, and to get onto the battlements. However, no matter what angle I jump at the building, I can't get the to let me get the treasure chests on the buildings!

Also, I'm confused on how to get to the underwater Spirit Tracks. I've visited the locations marked on the map, but nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

You have to whistle your train at the three locations to access it.

For your first problem, are you trying to get to the cucco buiding or do you already have a cucco? You can just play the Song of Birds and one will come flying towards you. If you have a cucco already, you just have to walk around the outer wall of the town and glide to each treasure on the houses. Thats really all there is to it. The only hard one that even I don't know how to get is the one directly to the right of the cucco house. No idea how to get it!

Use the Lion Statues as stepping stones. ;]

As far as the underwater rails go, you have to blow the whistle while the statues are on screen. One of the statues is at the top of a rock tower instead of on the water, which had me stumped for a while. It's the one at the spot marked 1. You have to look up to see it. The others are in the water, and you just have to look over at them. Do it in order, and the passageway will open at the dead end.

I just unloced the Snow Realm and have been seeing stamp stations all over the place, so apparently I missed getting the book somewhere... HELP ME!

After you complete the Forest Temple, go back to Link's house, and talk to Niko. He'll give you the stamp book.

I can't get the fire sanctuary song right no matter how many times I try. I don't know if anyone can help, but I'm very frustrated. I don't want to be stopped by a stupid song! I can't get the timing down for the life of me!

Basically you want to do what GoronWarrior25 said to do, but to add on to that, say to get from one note to another that requires you to cross one note that you're not supposed to play (say there's orange, yellow, and purple, and you have to play the orange right after the purple) you do not have to stop blowing into the mic while crossing the yellow note, as long as you cross fast enough., which is not very hard to do.

Take this and GoronWarrior25's tips and it will make it a lot easier to play the Spirit Flute.

With the help from you guys I managed to get past the Fire and Sand duet songs. Thanks. Now I will just continue trying to beat this game. I won't be afraid to replay it because of the sanctuary songs anymore.

Ok so I finish the 4th Tower of Spirits visit and decide to take the exit to the Forest Realm and I do this to stop by Hyrule Castle and a man in a coat (presumed to be "Teacher") asks for a train ride and I sorta forgot where he wants to go T_T so now I have a passenger in my train which I cant deliver has anyone done this and can simply tell me where to drop him off

I believe he wanted to go to Aboda, but I may be mistaken...
