Broken Puppet Pit at a Glance
- Two bells exist. Broken Puppet Pit Entrance rings near an angler puppet up top, and Broken Puppet Pit Bottom hangs inside the boss arena.
- Barrier: the shrine's fog stays shut until you have picked up all six Memory Flowers belonging to the Temple of Blue Fireflies.
- Boss: look for Dusk, the Puppeteer, deep in the gorge beneath the angler.
- Prizes: the Puppeteer's Bell Phantom Edge and the Illusory Pipa Head.
Overview
