The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints

How do I get the key from the rat?

  • 1 of 8: We had to solve a similar puzzle right back in the first cave system on Mercay Island.
  • 2 of 8: You need to trap the rat.
  • 3 of 8: However, this time, rather than using a block, simply ambush him.
  • 4 of 8: Stand in the doorway, on the marker where the stone slab was.
  • 5 of 8: He will alternately come out of the left and right holes.
  • 6 of 8: Aim your boomerang at one hole, and if you miss, try again.
  • 7 of 8: Eventually he will come out of the hole you are aiming at, and your boomerang will hit him.
  • 8 of 8: The key will then be yours.
