Fantastic!
Dungeons are a big huge part of Hylian Shield, just as they are in the Zelda series. They are the main trials you face, and are filled with monsters, traps, puzzles, and of course, treasures.

You'll normally want to enter a dungeon with another member or two, because that tends to make things more interesting. You can make up completely new challenges to face; dungeons on HS rarely match their canonical counterparts. The only requirements: you have to face the mid-boss before the boss, and both must be defeated or surrender.

After you've completed a dungeon run, you should ask an admin to "grade" it. If you pass, they will reward you with varying amounts of rupees and ranks. If they flunk you, you should either re-do the dungeon or come up with some additional challenges to face before you leave and have them re-grade it. The "Passing" grade, earns you the base rupees and ranks, "Good" earns you +1 ranks and +20% rupees, and finally "Excellent" earns you +2 ranks and +40% rupees.


Each dungeon has seven basic attributes. The values for each attribute are listed in each respective dungeon's explanation thread.
  • Location - If a dungeon is in Kokiri Forest, but you're all the way in Great Bay, you'll obviously have to travel to the dungeon's location before you can enter it.
  • Level - Level (or Lv) represents a dungeon's difficulty. Harder dungeons will require more effort and "higher quality" role-play. As a general rule of thumb, each level represents 10 posts-per-member of solid role-playing to pass. Some graders are more lenient on larger groups. Lackluster role-playing (bad grammar, boring, little deviation from kicking and the door and slashing monsters) requires longer threads to achieve the same grade, while high quality role-playing doesn't require as much length for the same grade.
  • Base Rupees - Upon passing the dungeon, each participating member will receive this many rupees. Good or Excellent dungeons will earn extra rupees. If one member has several characters in the dungeon, the member will have to split up the rupees among their characters.
  • Base Ranks - Upon passing the dungeon, each participating character will receive this many ranks. Good or Excellent dungeons will earn extra ranks. Every character will earn the same amount of ranks.
  • Dungeon Item(s) - Most dungeons have some sort of valuable weapon or tool that rewards you for completing the dungeon, like the Hookshot or Fire Enchantment. Every character in the dungeon run acquires one copy of these items. These are usually achieved partway through, often right after defeating the mid-boss.
  • Mini-boss(es) - You'll have to defeat this/these before reaching the boss.
  • Boss - This is typically the dungeon's last trial, the strongest and most difficult foe of all. As such, boss fights will often take up a large chunk of the dungeon run. You must defeat the boss to complete the dungeon.


Certain dungeons may have requirements for entry. These usually come in the form of dungeon items or dungeon completions. Sometimes you can get by without the requirements, at the cost of increasing the dungeon's level -- explanation threads will note such cases.

No more than 10 characters can be a part of any given dungeon. This includes mains, alternate mains, and companions.

However, in Stone Tower, Tower of the Gods, Dark Hyrule Castle, Savage Labyranth, the Moon and all dungeons ON the Moon override the 10 character limit. That means on those dungeons, any limit of characters may join.




If you're waiting for your partner to post, but it's been their "turn" for five days, you can skip them or leave them behind. You could also do so earlier, but it's recommended you set up your own "skip rules" at the start of the dungeon.

The skipped individual can re-join later, at the dungeon leader's discretion, or "split" the dungeon progress so they can do the rest of the dungeon solo, on their own time.

If you quit a dungeon partway through, you forfeit any rupees, ranks, dungeon item(s), and progress you've made thus far.
