Back outside Skyview Temple, I found another goddess cube very close nearby.<\/p>\n

\"GoddessDowsing led me to Lake Floria, where I found another.<\/p>\n

\"GoddessDowsing indicated there were no more goddess cubes in the Faron Woods area, so I headed to the volcano area. I knew of one goddess cube there…in fact, there had been two separate times I had tried to figure out how to get it, but it left me stumped both times. Earlier, I had assumed I needed a longer clawshots to get it; that turned out to not be true. I did finally figure out how to get it today, using a completely different approach. At any rate, I’m glad I finally got it.<\/p>\n

\"GoddessDowsing did not detect any other goddess cubes. So I believe I have now activated all of the goddess cubes on the surface. I then went back up to the sky and started collecting the treasures the cubes unlocked. I also returned to The Lumpy Pumpkin. Let me describe what happened there before, since I don’t think I blogged about it at the time.<\/p>\n

Early on in the game, I visited this island with a building shaped like a huge pumpkin. That is a restaurant known as the Lumpy Pumpkin. They had a chandelier, which had a piece of heart on it. In my efforts to get the piece of heart, I broke the chandelier. The owner then wanted me to work for him to pay off the damage.<\/p>\n

He wanted me to deliver some hot pumpkin soup to the knight commander (and it had to be done quickly, so that it doesn’t cool off). I tried to do it at the time, but I didn’t know who the knight commander was. I think I took it to the headmaster, but it wasn’t right and I never completed that task…until today. I again tried to deliver it. I thought maybe I should try the guy who runs the sparring hall, and indeed, that was the right guy.<\/p>\n

\"DeliveringHe told me to say thanks to the owner of the Lumpy Pumpkin (I almost typed Pumpy Lumpkin). But while I was still in Skyloft, I saw that a treasure chest (unlocked by a goddess cube) was in the area, so I went up and grabbed it for 300 rupees. A hint from a gossip stone also led me to a missing baby rattle. I returned it to its owner and got five gratitude crystals. That brings my total up to 61.<\/p>\n

\"ReturningI then returned to the Lumpy Pumpkin and the owner gave me another task to complete. I had to help harvest pumpkins and move them to the shed.<\/p>\n

\"HarvestingAfter this, the owner still wasn’t done with me. He now wanted me to use my harp for something, but at nighttime. So I had to sleep until night. When I woke up, he wanted me to play my harp while his daughter sings, to entertain his customers…both of them.<\/p>\n

\"PlayingYou have to strum the harp with the rhythm, using one of the customers’ arms as a guide. But I had trouble getting it good enough so that the customers were satisfied. I failed, again and again and again. Eventually I got tired of it and gave up for now. I’ll have to come back to it another day.<\/p>\n

Since I now had enough rupees, I went back to Skyloft and bought the last item at Beedle’s shop (that’s the flying ship shop). I bought the piece of heart for 1,600 rupees. I then noticed a bed…I slept there until night. I woke up on Beedle’s island, where he parks his ship at night. With his ship there, I was finally able to collect a treasure that I couldn’t reach before. He had a campfire going, so I talked to him for a bit.<\/p>\n

\"TalkingThe next day, I went inside the thunderhead to collect a treasure and ended up on Stitch’s bug island.<\/p>\n

\"Stitch:He has a game where you have to try to collect the bugs he shows you within a time limit. I tried once and failed. At this point, I decided to end my game for the day. But I’m going to update my to-do list:<\/p>\n
