She was revitalized in a big way. She grew to full size, which was much bigger than I expected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-162\" src=\"http:\/\/jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss106.jpg\" alt=\"Faron: Behold the full majesty of Faron.\" width=\"400\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss106.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss106-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>She then agreed to lead me to the sacred flame that I needed to dip my sword into. She led me to the large waterfall which I mentioned last time. She turned the water off and a doorway was revealed behind where the water once fell. I swear, it seems like every video game that has a waterfall also has something hidden behind it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-163\" src=\"http:\/\/jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss107.jpg\" alt=\"ss107\" width=\"400\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss107.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss107-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Once I went through the doors, I was in the Ancient Cistern. This is apparently dungeon #4. There was a locked doorway in which you had to hit the four directional gemstones in a certain order to open the doorway. I thought there was probably a hint somewhere else in the dungeon (and there was, as I later found out), but with such a limited number of possibilities, I knew it would be easy enough to try out the different combinations until I found it. And indeed, it didn&#8217;t even take me two minutes to crack the code.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-164\" src=\"http:\/\/jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss108.jpg\" alt=\"Cracking the code in the Ancient Cistern.\" width=\"400\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss108.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss108-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>I continued on until I found a treasure chest that contained a new item: A whip. Very nice. It let me turn the large faucet handles that turn on blasts of water, pushing me up to higher levels. The whip will also let me advance to a new area in the main room of this dungeon, but I&#8217;ll save that for next time. I made my way to the bird statue and saved my game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-165\" src=\"http:\/\/jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss109.jpg\" alt=\"Watch me whip.\" width=\"400\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss109.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss109-300x151.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The search for sacred water led me back to Skyview Temple (the first dungeon of the game).
