Guides / The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Misery Mire
Misery Mire is the sixth dungeon of the Dark World, located beneath the storm clouds of the Mire of Misery swamp. Link must traverse flooded basement rooms, light torches in dark corridors, and manipulate crystal switches to navigate deeper into the complex. Conquering the dungeon requires defeating Vitreous to rescue the sixth maiden.

Enemies
Boss composed of a giant eyeball surrounded by smaller eyes; defeat the small eyes first before it hops around.
Teleports around the room and fires magic beams at Link before vanishing.
Small gelatinous enemies that drop from the ceiling in dark rooms.
Electrifies itself periodically; striking it with a sword while charged damages Link and splits it into smaller Biri.
Large hands that drop from the ceiling; if they grab Link, they pull him back to the dungeon entrance.
Small, hairy creature that scuttles around in groups; easily dispatched with standard weapon swings.
Tips
- The Cane of Somaria is required to complete later dungeons, such as Turtle Rock and Ganon's Tower, so do not leave without collecting it.
- Keep the Magic Meter filled with Green Potions, as you will need the Fire Rod to light unlit torches in dark rooms to open sealed doors.
- Watch the shadows on the floor to avoid being ambushed and captured by falling Wallmasters.
- During the boss fight with Vitreous, equip the Hookshot or standard sword to safely pull or slash away the smaller eyeballs while avoiding lightning strikes.
