The second Skulltulahaus is located on the Great Bay and is built much more like an abandoned house than the Swamp Spider House. Here, too, are hidden altogether 30 Gold Skulltulas. For our 100% route, it’s worth completing the entire area in one go, because next to the Giant stock exchange is also waiting here Piece of Heart.
In the Nintendo 64 version, it must begin on the first day . Only if you eliminate all 30 Gold Skulltulas before the end of the first day and collect their symbols will the man at the entrance then give you the Giant Wallet for 500 Rupees. On the second or third day you will only receive Rupees. In Majora’s Mask 3D this restriction has been removed and the Giant Wallet can be obtained regardless of the day.
For the complete passage you need at least the Hookshot, the Goron Mask and bombs. Fire Arrows are very helpful because several doors and hiding places are blocked by cobwebs. For the additional Piece of Heart you also need the Captain’s Hat. If you follow our Walkthrough, you already own it from Ikana Cemetery.
Entrance to Skulltula House
The Skulltulahaus is located in the Great Bay area and is hard to miss due to its conspicuous entrance. First blow up the cracked wall with a bomb or the Blast Mask. Behind it begins a corridor that leads diagonally downwards.
The first two Gold Skulltulas are already waiting here. Look at the walls of the tunnel. Skulltula 1 and 2 are crawling along there. Defeat them with the Hookshot and at the same time draw the remaining symbols to you.
At the bottom of the tunnel there is a grapple target above the next door. Pull yourself over and enter the actual entrance hall. A thick spider web hangs from the ceiling. Burn it with a fire arrow and kill the Skulltula 3 sitting behind it. The first three copies have now been collected.
Staircase – Skulltulas 4 to 12
The next large area extends over two levels. Several masks hang on the walls, jugs stand in the corners and wooden beams run along the ceiling. Examine the room thoroughly before moving on.
On the left wall, Skulltula 4 keeps crawling out from behind one of the decorative masks. Wait a moment until she becomes visible and defeat her. Then look up at the ceiling beams near the entrance. Skulltula 5 moves there. The Hookshot is the simplest solution here.
There are several large jars on the upper level. Transform into Goron Link and hit or roll against the first one. This will cause Skulltula 6 to pop out. Another jug is partially covered by cobwebs. Burn the web and also destroy this jar for Skulltula 7.
Now go down the stairs a little and look at the horizontal beams under the ceiling of the lower area. Skulltula 8 sits there. Shoot them with the Hookshot and drag the symbol directly to you.
In the lower part of the stairwell there is a single jug on the wall to the right. Destroy it for Skulltula 9. There is a black hole behind another spider web on the wall. Burn the net and look inside. Skulltula 10 is hidden inside.
Another Gold Skulltula crawls out of one of the masks on the wall to the left. Defeat them for Skulltula 11. The last one in this area is in a small jar at the top of a stack of crates. Destroy it with an arrow or the Hookshot and take Skulltula 12 with you.
Library – Skulltulas 13 to 19
Return to the upper level of the stairwell and burn the spider web in front of the door to the library. In this room there are not only seven Gold Skulltulas, but also two of the six Stalchildren that we need for the later Piece of Heart.
Put on the Captain’s Hat and talk to both Stalchildren. Everyone tells you a position within a six-digit sequence and a color. Remember the information or write it down. The combination is not fixed and can vary. Later we have to shoot the colored masks in the dining room in exactly this order.
Then dedicate yourself to the Skulltulas. Pictures hang on several walls. Shoot them down with the Hookshot. Waiting behind one of the pictures is Skulltula 13. You can pull out the middle drawer block on the half-height chest of drawers. Behind it there is a hole with Skulltula 14.
Use the pulled out drawers as a step and climb onto the bookshelves. On or between the shelves you will find Skulltula 15. From the elevated position you can also shoot another picture and catch the Skulltula 16 hidden behind it with the Hookshot.
Then look at the beams under the ceiling. Skulltula 17 sits there. In the back there is a large bookshelf that can be moved as a Goron link. Pulls or pushes it to the side. Behind it there is a hidden passage with two more spiders. Defeat Skulltula 18 and 19 and collect their symbols.
Dining Hall – Stalchildren and Piece of Heart prepare
Now go to the bottom right room. You come to a large dining room where four Stalchildren are sitting around a long table. Don’t attack her. Instead, set the again Captain’s Hat up and talk to all four.
Together with the two Stalchildren from the library you will then have six clues. Everyone names a position and a color. Four colored masks hang on the wall of the dining room. The six statements result in the exact order in which these masks must be hit with arrows.
Write down the combination first and then take care of the Gold Skulltulas in the room.
Dining Room – Skulltulas 20 to 25
Hiding behind one of the pictures on the wall is Skulltula 20. Shoot down the image with the Hookshot and get the symbol. In a jar in the corner sits Skulltula 21.
Then look at the beam directly above the entrance door. Skulltula 22 is crawling there. Defeat them with the Hookshot.
The most striking specimens hang in the large chandelier above the table. Stand on the table as Goron Link and perform a Goron Stomp. The shock causes three Gold Skulltulas to fall out of the candlestick. Defeat them one by one and collect Skulltula 23, 24 and 25.
Piece of Heart behind the fireplace
Now we solve the additional puzzle of the house directly. Look at the four colored masks on the dining room wall and pick up your six Bonewalker clues. Shoot the masks with the Hero’s Bow in exactly the order listed.
If the combination is correct, the grate in front of the fireplace opens. Go in and follow the short hallway. A skullwalltula blocks the way; does it and then opens the Treasure Chest at the end. Inside is another Piece of Heart.
This Piece of Heart is a mandatory part of our 100% route and should be collected right now since we already have the Captain’s Hat anyway. The combination of the colored masks is not reliably identical for every game state, which is why the clues from the six Stalchildren are the safe method.
Storage Room – Skulltulas 26 to 30
Return to the stairwell and now take the remaining door in the lower area. First burn the spider web in front of the entrance. In the storage room behind there are numerous boxes, jugs and other cobwebs.
Opposite the entrance, Skulltula 26 runs openly along the wall. Just around the corner, another spider web hangs on the ceiling. Burn it and kill the Skulltula 27 sitting behind it.
Several wooden boxes stand on the sides of the room. Transform into Goron Link and roll or hit the boxes. Skulltula 28 is hidden in one of them, and Skulltula 29 is hidden in another.
For the last Skulltula, climb the high stack of boxes. From there you can use the Hookshot to pull yourself onto the raised false ceiling or the ledge. Destroy the jars there. One of them contains Skulltula 30.
Then check your meter. You must now have exactly 30 Golden Skulltula symbols. As long as a Gold Skulltula still lives in a room, you will hear the characteristic crawling noise. Use it if you are still missing a symbol.
Giant Wallet for 500 Rupees
With all 30 symbols you return to the entrance to the Skulltula House. If you are on the lower level, you can easily roll up the long ramp as Goron Link.
If you have completely completed the Skulltula House in the Nintendo 64 version on the first day, a man will be waiting for you at the entrance. He wants to use the now safe building as a place of refuge and in return gives you the Giant Wallet. This means Link can now carry up to 500 Rupees at the same time.
This improvement is particularly important because it means we can later pay for expensive items and Side Quests much more conveniently. If you have completed the house on the second or third day, you will only receive Rupees in the original Nintendo 64 version. In this case, you have to go back in time and collect all 30 Skulltulas again on the first day.
3D Difference: In Majora’s Mask 3D the day no longer plays a role. There you will receive the corresponding stock exchange improvement regardless of when you collect all 30 Gold Skulltulas.
