We enter Nockmaar Castle and finally set things right in the land!
Well, we've done just about everything in the game. Next up, we head towards Nockmaar.
There will be a guard near the entrance. He won't let you in, but if you use the Monster's Bone and turn into a monster, you'll be able to scare the guard away and enter Nockmaar.
The red zombies are nasty. You'll have to wait for them to shoot 16 bubbles before you can change back from the pig form.
The room in the lower-left corner of the entry area houses Abang. Since Adik has given you Abang's sword and asked you to return it, he'll be able to put his strength behind his sword. You'll need a key to get further into the castle, and that the old woman Adik rescued has it.
Turns out, this old woman is on the cliff near Nockmaar castle, and we saw her earlier. Now she actually serves a purpose. That's just great.
Before you head out, be sure to use the Ocarina to call Po, and teleport to the Tavern of the Traveller.
Check out the Wing Sword. Instead of being the weakest sword in the game, it is now the strongest. Equip it before you do anything else.
Go back to Fin Raziel. This time, you'll be able to transform her back into her normal form. She'll channel her energy into the magic cane, allowing it to not only damage enemies, but also Queen Bavmorda.
Go back to Tir Asleen, and go back to the house on the path left of the castle entrance. This house is usually locked, and if you go to where you first met her, she's gone. Turns out, this is where you're supposed to meet her...and the game doesn't tell you to go over here at all. She'll give you the key to Nockmaar Castle.
All the loose ends are tied up, so you can now go to Nockmaar without having to do anything else.
The door that Abang was standing in front of is a dead end. Instead, go north and east of that door and you'll be able to find the doorway that continues into the castle.
At the next floor, go north, then east when you can't go north anymore. Go through the door and enter the next floor. When you north and east again, you'll meet Sorsha and Madmartigan. Sorsha won't let you escape, but Willow throws the Dust of Broken Hearts at her. (Just like NCS, I'm not calling it the Powder of Unrequited Love. Let's stay true to the movie, folks.) Sorsha dodges it, and just like in the movie, Madmartigan falls in love with Sorsha. Sorsha then has a change of heart and tells you that the Crest of the Spirits is in a treasure chest in a cave below the castle.
Go through the door that Sorsha and Madmartigan were standing in front of and continue. You'll meet General Kael (a reference to well-known movie critic Pauline Kael), and he's given the Crest of the Spirits to Bavmorda. He's really easy if you know what to do. Stay down and to the right of him, and stand still and swing the sword at him. Since his attacks do a lot of damage, be sure you're healed up. If you do it right, you'll be able to corner him and take him out very easily.
Enter the door to the north, cross the bridge, and then enter the door in the lower-left room. The rest of the path is fairly straightforward.
You'll then be in a square room with no visible exits. You'll finally meet Queen Bavmorda. She'll run around the room and leave flames behind. Equip the Magic Cane and fire it at her whenever she's close enough to you, so that you leave no margin of error between you and her when it comes to your shots. This cane obviously requires MP to use, and if you mess up here, you're done for.
When you beat her, you'll get the Crest of the Spirits back. You'll then fight Bavmorda again. If you were expecting this to be even more difficult, you're sadly mistaken. This time, she'll use the exact same tactics, but you can hit her with the sword. Just stand still and swing the sword repeatedly as soon as she comes towards you. Problem solved.
After the battle, Queen Bavmorda is struck by lightning and defeated, and your quest is over. Enjoy your ending!
