The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints
How can I free Astrid from the basement?
1 of 11: Astrid says that the map to the right of the door is the key to freeing her.
2 of 11: Unfortunately, Kayo is the only one who knows its secret.
3 of 11: Kayo says that the number of torches on the island, and their locations, is the key to opening the door.
4 of 11: There are three torches -- he told us that much.
5 of 11: He also gave us the location of one of the torches, which you should definitely mark on your map.
6 of 11: You need to hunt out and mark the locations of the island's other two torches, then mark all three locations on the map in Astrid's basement to free her.
7 of 11: One is next to Kayo.
8 of 11: One is in Kayo's house, which is the southern-most house on the island.
9 of 11: The third is a little further away -- see the island at the north-west of the mainland?
10 of 11: It's on the mainland, just to the right of that island.
11 of 11: Tap all three of those locations onto the map in Astrid's basement and she will be free.
