The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints
How can I pass the Phantoms guarding the path to the chest?
1 of 9: You will notice the blue Phantom doesn't move, but changes his viewpoint.
2 of 9: The red Phantom is the one actually patrolling.
3 of 9: And unfortunately you're going to need to hit that purple crystal switch he is guarding so closely.
4 of 9: Remember that the red pots contain portable coverage against the Phantoms.
5 of 9: Also remember that you can trigger those switches with your boomerang.
6 of 9: You need to drop the pot at a position where you're far enough away from the blue Phantom to be able to run away when the time is right, but at a point where your boomerang can still be angled to hit the switch.
7 of 9: You will want to drop it on the western wall of the vertical path, around one screen above the blue Phantom's position.
8 of 9: Drop the jar and quickly stand in it so you're not caught and sliced.
9 of 9: Now aim your boomerang at the switch, flip it, and run to the moving platform to the north.
