The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints

How do I open the stairs leading to the Twelfth Basement?

  • 1 of 7: You need to flip all four of the switches in this room, basically.
  • 2 of 7: Begin by pulling the one in the north-eastern corner.
  • 3 of 7: This will extend a bridge allowing you to reach the north-western corner.
  • 4 of 7: Now head over the bridges that were created to the south-western corner.
  • 5 of 7: You will need to find and dig up an air jet here, to get to the south-eastern corner to hit the switch there.
  • 6 of 7: Now make your way back to the south-western corner -- you'll have to be quick, since the last switch was on a timer.
  • 7 of 7: Once all four switches are hit, the stairs downward will open.
