1.) The Monstrous Helmaroc King: Take a picture of this boss while you're battling him atop the Forsaken Fortress. Your best bet is to snap a shot, save and quit, then show to Carlov to make sure they're good. If not, return and take a better shot. If so, go ahead and defeat him. Naturally, once Helmaroc King is dead, so is any chance of getting his picture. Do not defeat Helmaroc King until you have taken his pictograph and had Carlov make a figurine of him!
2-8.) Tetra, Gonzo, Senza, Nudge, Zuko, Niko, Mako: You get these all in one fell swoop. Midway through the game, when Link and Tetra are at Hyrule Castle and Tetra is following you around, take a picture of her then. This is your last chance because once she transforms into Princess Zelda, that's it. Do not enter Hyrule Castle's basement until you have taken her pictograph and had Carlov make a figurine of her! Also note that you have another chance early in the next file as you can take Tetra's picture on the beach of Outset Island when she's waiting on you.
9.) Zephos & Cyclos: Take a picture of Cyclos as he's sucking you into his whirlwind. Note that he is gone forever after you tame him by firing Arrows at him. Do not shoot Cyclos until you have taken his pictograph and had Carlov make a figurine of him!
10.) Big Octo: There are a total of 6 Big Octos on the Great Sea. (Obtain the Octo Chart or simply use a guide to discover their locations.) Destroy one, and it's gone forever. Destroy all six, and they're extinct. So it goes without saying, do not destroy all six Big Octos until you have taken a pictograph of one and had Carlov make a figurine of it!
11.) Kogoli: This is a very strange case. Kogoli is just a typical Rito character on Dragon Roost Island who has no particular importance to the plot or any gameplay mechanic. But strangely, after you awaken Medli as a sage, he just flies off and is never seen again. Find him on the part of the mountain with the wooden platforms. Get to the one to left of him and take your picture. Do not play the Earth God's Lyric for Medli until you have taken Kogoli's pictograph and had Carlov make a figurine of him!
12.) Wizzrobe: There are two types of Wizzrobe figurines, the ordinary Wizzrobes and this one, the mini-boss in the Wind Temple. He is the only one of his kind, so take his picture before you kill him! If you destroy him, you'll have to wait until the second quest to try again. Do not destroy this Wizzrobe mini-boss in the Wind Temple until you have taken his pictograph and had Carlov make a figurine of him!
13.) Phantom Ganon: You meet him twice in this game, once on your second visit to the Forsaken Fortress, and again repeatedly in Ganon's Tower. No matter how many times you defeat him, he keeps coming back for more. But once you sink a single Light Arrow into him, he's utterly destroyed. So therefore, do not shoot Phantom Ganon with a Light Arrow until you have taken his pictograph and had Carlov make a figurine of him!
14.) Puppet Ganon: This boss before the final boss is another one-shot chance. You fight this battle in three phases, but any phase is fine for a photo shoot (the first phase is the easiest to snap shots, though). Once you've destroyed his third and final phase, he's gone forever--until the second quest, that is. Assuming you don't want to wait that long, do not destroy Puppet Ganon until you have taken his pictograph and had Carlov make a figurine of him! Again, the save-and-quit method of photography is the safest bet here.
15.) Knuckle: It is possible to get every figurine in the game except one and have the game consider it "complete" for you. Once you've gotten Carlov to make the last figurine that you need, his final piece will be Link and the King of Red Lions, then he'll leave the Nintendo Gallery for good. Knuckle is the only figurine that's not a prerequisite to getting Link and the King of Red Lions because he only appears after completing the Tingle Tuner side quest that requires the Game Boy Advance. The significance of this is that, unlike all the other figurines, you cannot get this figurine even in the second quest. Miss this one, and it is truly gone forever. So if you want Knuckle's figurine, do not complete the rest of the Nintendo Gallery until you have finished the Tingle Tuner side quest and had Carlov make a figurine of Knuckle too! You can tell how close you are to completion by seeing how many empty stands remain in the individual rooms (the one to be occupied by Knuckle is in the Great Sea room). Or you can simply use a guide. |
