In Skyward Sword, you can find 🦹special Medals that grant s🅠pecial bonuses to various things. Some of them increase your chances of finding rupees, hearts, or treasures, while others grant helpful buffs.
There are seven different types of Medals, but ten Medals to collect in total (there are two of some of them). Each Medal takes up a slot in your Adventure Pouch, so you'll need to decide if its bonuses are worth using up the space. Whether you're playing on the Wii 168澳洲ꦺ幸运5开奖网:or Skyward Sword HD on Nintendo Switch, tꦡhese are definitely the type of item to look out for.
Here, we'll walk you through how to get each one and what it does.
Rupee Medal (x2)
If you're running short on money, these medals will be perfect for you. The Rupee Medals increase the number of rupees you find frꦏom various sources in your adventure, including enemy drops and from cutting gras🌞s.
There are two of these to collect, and they both come from a Goddess Chest.
The first is unlocked by finding the Goddess Cube in Faron Woods. You can do this after you get the Water Dragon's Scale. Near the top of the Great Tree, shimmy your way around to the north side. If you look down carefully, you can find a piece of land at almost ground level with a tightrope leading to a separate bit with a Goddess Cube between two blue mushrooms. You'll need to jump down from up there to get to it. Then, you can find the corresponding Goddess Chest inside the Thunderhead, in the northeast.
The second Rupee Medal is in a Goddess Chest on Beedle's Island. To unlock it, you'll need the Clawshots. If you have them, head to the Deep Woods and make your way to Skyview Temple. There are some vines growing on the structure, and by using your Clawshots, you can climb these vines to find the Goddess Cube. Then, sleep in Beedle's bed to make it nighttime, and climb the ladder adjacent to his house to find the chest𒁃 with the Medal.
Heart Medal (x2)
Like the Rupee Medals, there are two Heart Medals to find. They increase the number of recovery hearts you find, including tꦓhose dropped by enemies, the ones found when cutting grass, and more. Both 👍are found in Goddess Chests, as well.
You can find the first Goddess Cube in Lanayru Province, in the southwest. Here, you'll find an Ampilus (those crab-snail-like enemies), which you can defeat by using the Hook Beetle to drop a Bomb on it. However, if the Ampilus moves toward you, it'll be in the wrong spot when you bomb it, so try to drop the Bomb on it in its beginning position. Make your way across the sand to the shell and then the Goddess Cube. Find the corresponding Chest on a volcano-like island south of Skyloft and east of the light beam 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:for Lanayru Province.
The second Heart Medal's Goddess Cube is in Lanayru Province as well, and it'll require the Clawshots. In the northeastern portion of the Lanayru Desert, you can find a wall that is bombable, so do just that. Use your Clawshots to make your way through the area past the bombed wall to find the Goddess Cube on a raised platform. Then, find the matching Chest on a floating island west of Beedle's Island. Using the Water Dragon's Scale, you can leap down through the water, under the wall, and up on the other side, where the Chest awaits.
Bug Medal
This is a fun one: the Bug Medal will show where insects can be found on your map. It doesn't necessarily show that they're currently there, but shows where they typically like to hang out.
To obtain the Bug Medal, you'll need to start saving up some rupees. After you get your hands on the Bug Net, Beedle will sell this Medal in his Air Shop. It costs a whopping 1,000 rupees.
However, when you return Beedle's Horned Colossus Beetle, he'll give you a 50% discount on the next item you purchase. So, by using this method, you can get the Bug Medal for only 500 rupees. Note: He also sells a Life Medal that you might want to use the discount on. But, it's 800 rupees, so the Bug Medal is the better choice for the one-time price drop.
Potion Medal
Do you find the potions from the Bazaar aren't lasting as long as you want them to? Never fear, because there's a Medal for that, too. The Potion Medal will double the duration of potions! You will need♏ to have the Clawshots to get this one, though.
Head to Skipper's Retreat in the Lanayru Sand Sea. There's a bridge here with a Moblin on it, holding a metal shield. If you look around this area, you can find some vines on the standing pillars to which you can Clawshot. Make your way fro🎃m vine to ꦚvine until you find the Goddess Cube.
Back in the Sky, you can find the island containing the corresponding Goddess Chest due south of the Thunderhead and west of Skyloft. The Chest is imprisoned behind bars, for some reason, so you need to use your Clawshots to swing yourself over the bars by grappling to the vines on the roof of the cave (prison cell).
Treasure Medal
The Treasure Medal increases the chances that treasures will drop from defeated enemies. Unfortunately, treas🍸ure chests and mini-games are not affected, just e🀅nemy drops.
The method for obtaining this Medal is — surprise, surprise! — another Goddess Chest. There is a Bokoblin camp just east of the Earth Temple. There's a structure that can be turned into a bridge with the help of a bomb, but instead of crossing this makeshift bridge, swing a right and follow the lava river. You'll find the Goddess Cube down this way.
Back in the Sky, head to the small island in the far, far northeast, southeast of Beedle's Island. The Chest is on the lower ledge, but you can climb down from the top with the use of some😼 vines.
Life Medal (x2)
This is the third and final Medal that comes in a pair. The Life Medals increase your maximum health by a heart each, bringing the maximum possible number to 20.
The easier of the two Medals to obtain (so long as you have enough rupees) is simply purchased from Beedle. He'll sell it for 800 rupees — or, if you complete his sidequest and find his beetle, he'll give you a 50% discount on the next item you buy, making this Medal 400 rupees instead. However, the Bug Medal, which he also sells, is 1,000 rupees, so it's probably a better use of the discount if you're trying to get all of the Medals.
The second Life Medal is in a Goddess Chest. The Goddess Cube for this particular chest is in the Lanayru Province. More specifically, it's just south 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:of the Lanayru Mining Facility, up on one of the many walls. To get up this particular wall, you'll need the Clawshots. Look for the Clawshot target on the side of the wall, use it to climb up, and you'll see the Goddess Cube just to your left and around the corner.
The chest that matches this Cube can be found on an island northwest of Fun Fun Island. It's on the lower ledge, so you'll need to climb down the vines. There is another Goddess Chest here that you may have opened earlier, too, if you're looking for a landmark for this particular island.
Cursed Medal
This is the most interesting Medal on the list. The Cursed Medal will make rupees and treasure appear more frequently, meaning it's a combo between a Rupee Medal and the Treasure Medal.
However, there's a catch: when you have this Medal equipped, you cannot open your Adventure Pouch. Fairies will still activate if you have one when you die, and you can still use other Medals and things like Bombs and Arrows, but you can't open your Pouch. It also 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:unequips your shield. To get rid of this "curse," you'll have to check the item with Peatrice at the Item Check.
Here's how you get it: After donating 30 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Gratitude Crystals to Batreaux, he'll give you the Big Wallet. Then, a treasure chest appears. When you get near it, Batreaux will stop you and warn you not to open it, describing its effects and that it's cursed. If you open it anyway, you'll obtain the Cursed Medal.
