The Training Ground takes place in a chamber filled with numerous traps and obstacles, likely used for training for the Fortress's [[Soldier (Enemy)|Soldier]]s, hence the Level's name. The Level notably features several harmless [[Totem Armos]], which the [[Links]] can ride on to reach other sections of the Stages, such as by crossing hazardous lava pits, and fighting enemies. These Armos can be found on green panels, which are used to park the Armos at.
{{Term|Series|Training Ground}} takes place in a chamber filled with numerous traps and obstacles, likely used for training for the {{Term|TFH|Fortress}}'s {{Plural|TFH|Soldier (Enemy)|link}}, hence the {{Term|TFH|Level}}'s name. The {{Term|TFH|Level}} notably features several parked {{Plural|TFH|Totem Armos|link}}, which the {{Plural|TFH|Links|link}} can ride on to reach other sections of the {{Plural|TFH|Stage}} and do battle with {{Plural|TFH|Enemy}}.


In '''Stage 1''', the Links appear in a room with a pit of lava. In the center of the room is a heavy [[Switch]], which after pressing with all three Links, will make a Totem Armos and its green panel appear. This Armos can be used to cross the pit of lava to the other side, where several more Switches and a [[Gust Jar]] and [[Gripshot]] can be found. The Armos  can be parked on a green panel to the left of this side. However if the Links go right from the starting platform, they will find a [[Bow]] up a staircase. To clear the Stage, the Links must make it to the other side of the lava pit. This is possible by having two Links ride the Armos, then pressing the two floor Switches on the other side to make a bridge appear for the third Link. The Links must then hit all three of the blue timed Switches, but must do so from a distance as the Switches will close if they get too close. All three items can activate the Switches. One Switch is elevated, and requires either the Links to form a [[Totem]] or to use the Armos to hit it. Once the three Switches are activated, a door opens to four more Switches on the floor, one of which is inside a green panel. One of the Links must park the Armos on top of this switch, while the other Links press the other three. This will open the second door to the Triforce Gateway.

In '''Stage 1''', the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} appear in a room with a pit of {{Term|TFH|Lava}}. In the center of the room is a {{Term|TFH|Big Switch|link}}, which after pressing with all three {{Plural|TFH|Links}}, will make a {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} rise out of a trap door in the floor. This {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} can be used to cross the pit of {{Term|TFH|Lava}} ahead or to the left of them; on the other side, a {{Term|TFH|Gust Jar|link}} and a {{Term|TFH|Gripshot|link}} can be found near several {{Plural|TFH|Shock Switch|link}} and {{Plural|TFH|Floor Switch|link}}. If the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} go right from the starting area, they will find a {{Term|TFH|Bow|link}} up a staircase. To clear the {{Term|TFH|Stage}}, at least two of the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must first cross the {{Term|TFH|Lava}} pit using the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}}, then step on the two {{Plural|TFH|Floor Switch}} to make a bridge appear across the pit. Then the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must then hit all three of the {{Plural|TFH|Shock Switch}} with their {{Plural|TFH|Item}} in a very short time, but must do so from a distance as the {{Plural|TFH|Switch}} will cover up if they get too close. The elevated center {{Term|TFH|Switch}} can be hit by quickly forming a {{Term|TFH|Totem|link}} after hitting the other two, or by having one {{Term|TFH|Links}} ride the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}}. Once the three {{Plural|TFH|Switch}} are activated, a door opens to four more {{Plural|TFH|Floor Switch}}, one of which is inside a green panel. One of the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must park the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} on top of this {{Term|TFH|Switch}} while the other three are stepped on. This will open the second door to the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway|link}}.
{{Clear}}


In '''Stage 2''', the Links ride an elevator to a room containing another Totem Armos. [[Sword Soldier]]s and [[Hardhat Beetle|Fire Hardhat Beetle]]s appear as the Links enter the room, which can all be easily defeated with the Totem Armos. The Sword Soldiers' shields however will protect them from the Armos, however their shields can be removed with the Gripshot. After all enemies are defeated, the doors to the Triforce Gateway opens.

In '''Stage 2''', the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} ride an elevator to a room containing another {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} in the center. As they approach it, {{Plural|TFH|Blue Sword Soldier|link}} suddenly appear and {{Plural|TFH|Red Hardhat Beetle|link}} slide down the sloped walls; all the {{Plural|TFH|Enemy}} be easily defeated with the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}}. The {{Plural|TFH|Blue Sword Soldier}}' shields will protect them from the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}}, however their shields can be removed with the {{Term|TFH|Gripshot}}. After all {{Plural|TFH|Enemy}} are defeated, the doors to the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway}} open.
{{Clear}}


In '''Stage 3''', the Links enter another chamber filled with pits of lava. To the right side is a narrow walkway the Links are supposed to go, however iron balls roll down the path and prevent the Links from going further. A Totem Armos sits nearby, but a [[Beamos]] sitting on top of it will fire beams at any of the Links who approach. The Beamos can be destroyed by firing an [[Arrow]] into its eye after forming a Totem, or by stunning it and striking it with the [[Sword]]. Using the Armos, the Link riding it can then hop down the pathway, as the Armos will destroy any of the iron balls that roll into its path. The other Links can then follow the Armos as it clears a path for them. A Beamos however will threaten to fire beams at them along the way. On the right side is another Beamos and a green panel for the Armos to park at. Further down is a [[Treasure Chest|Chest]] sitting on a ledge containing [[Rupee]]s, which can be reached by dropping down and striking the Switch to activate the elevator.

In '''Stage 3''', the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} enter another chamber filled with pits of {{Term|TFH|Lava}}. To the right side is a narrow walkway surrounded by {{Term|TFH|Lava}}, however, {{Plural|TFH|Gargantuan Ball|link}} will roll down the path and prevent the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} from crossing. A {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} sits nearby, but a {{Term|TFH|Beamos|link}} sitting on top of it will fire beams at any of the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} who approach. The {{Term|TFH|Beamos}} can be destroyed by forming a {{Term|TFH|Totem}} and firing an {{Term|TFH|Arrow|link}} into its eye, blasting it onto the floor with the {{Term|TFH|Gust Jar}}, or by stunning it and striking it with the {{Term|TFH|Sword|link}}. With the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} freed, one of the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} can ride it down the narrow pathway, clearing a path for the others as the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} destroys the {{Plural|TFH|Gargantuan Ball}} it comes in contact with. A {{Term|TFH|Beamos}} will threaten to fire beams at them along the way. Once they cross the pathway, another {{Term|TFH|Beamos}} awaits, followed by a green panel for the Totem Armos to park at. On a nearby ledge is a {{Term|TFH|Treasure Chest|link}} containing three {{Plural|TFH|Heart|link}}.


To the right are several cannons firing an endless stream of flames. Between their flames are Switches that can be struck to make a grated platform appear and disappear. To get all of the Links safely across the flames, the Links must use the Totem Armos, which will block the flames as it passes, allowing the other Links to quickly slip by. The grated platform must be raised to continue the Totem Armos's path. The third cannon however is at a higher elevation, and will burn the Link riding the Totem Armos if he tries to continues. If this happens, the Armos will be destroyed and will reappear at the green panel, forcing the Links to restart. Instead, one Link must hit the Switch to lower the grated platform, which will drop the Totem Armos to the lava pit where the Link riding it can continue forward without being burned. After the Link passes the third stream, the grated platform will have to be raised again so he can continue. On the other side is a rising platform and a green panel next to a high ledge where the Triforce Gateway is. To reach the gateway, two of the Links must stand on the rising platform, and then drop down onto the Link riding the Totem Armos to make a Totem of three Links. The three Links then simply ride the Totem Armos to the green panel, and are dropped off at the Triforce Gateway.
To the right is a pathway with a complex trap made up of four stationary {{Plural|TFH|Guruguru Bar|link}} firing streams of flames, and {{Plural|TFH|Shock Switch}} in between them. To get all of the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} safely past the flames, one of them must ride the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} straight to the right, which blocks the streams of flames momentarily, allowing the other two {{Plural|TFH|Links}} to pass. However, the floor gives way to a pool of {{Term|TFH|Lava}} for the {{Term|TFH|Link}} riding the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}}. The {{Plural|TFH|Links}} on foot can strike one of the {{Plural|TFH|Shock Switch}} to alternately raise and lower a grated platform out of the {{Term|TFH|Lava}}. Before the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} reaches the second stream of flames, the grated platform needs to be raised so that the {{Term|TFH|Links}} riding it does not get burned. The third {{Term|TFH|Guruguru Bar}} is elevated, so the grated platform must be lowered again. Before the fourth stream of flames, the platform must be raised again. Essentially: the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} on foot should stay below the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} to keep safe from the flames, and strike the {{Term|TFH|Shock Switch}} in between each pair of {{Plural|TFH|Guruguru Bar}}. Should they fail at any point and need to try again, they can fall off the pathway to the south, where an elevator takes them back to the start. Once they pass the trap, the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} come to a small room with a {{Term|TFH|Squiddy|link}}, a rising lift in the floor, and a green panel. Parking the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} will launch the {{Term|TFH|Links}}(s) riding it toward the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway}}. In order to get all of the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} there together, the ones on foot must stand on the lift, ride it upward as the {{Term|TFH|Totem Armos}} hops nearby, then drop off of it into a {{Term|TFH|Totem}}.
{{Clear}}


In '''Stage 4''', the Links fight a group of Sword Soldiers and a [[Spear Soldier]] in a pit while riding Totem Armos. The enemy Soldiers will attempt to have their Armos jump and crash down onto the Links. The Soldiers can be easily defeated by knocking them off with the Gust Jar, which will cause their Armos to self-destruct. The blue Sword Soldier however is much more durable, but its shield can be stolen with the Gripshot. Once they are defeated, a wall lowers revealing another Sword Soldier, a [[Ball and Chain Soldier]] and a [[Bomb Soldier]] riding Totem Armos, one of which is riding on two stacked Armos. The Soldier riding the two Armos can be easily defeated by taking a lift to a ledge and then dropping down onto the Soldier. Once the enemies are defeated, a door opens to three green panels and the Triforce Gateway.

Training Ground is a Level in Tri Force Heroes.[1] It is the third Level of the Fortress Area, preceded by Bomb Storage and followed by The Lady's Lair.

Themes and Navigation

Training Ground takes place in a chamber filled with numerous traps and obstacles, likely used for training for the Fortress's Soldiers, hence the Level's name. The Level notably features several parked Totem Armos, which the Links can ride on to reach other sections of the Stages and do battle with Enemies.

One method of activating the Switches in Stage 1

In Stage 1, the Links appear in a room with a pit of Lava. In the center of the room is a Big Switch, which after pressing with all three Links, will make a Totem Armos rise out of a trap door in the floor. This Totem Armos can be used to cross the pit of Lava ahead or to the left of them; on the other side, a Gust Jar and a Gripshot can be found near several Shock Switches and Floor Switches. If the Links go right from the starting area, they will find a Bow up a staircase. To clear the Stage, at least two of the Links must first cross the Lava pit using the Totem Armos, then step on the two Floor Switches to make a bridge appear across the pit. Then the Links must then hit all three of the Shock Switches with their Items in a very short time, but must do so from a distance as the Switches will cover up if they get too close. The elevated center Switch can be hit by quickly forming a Totem after hitting the other two, or by having one Link ride the Totem Armos. Once the three Switches are activated, a door opens to four more Floor Switches, one of which is inside a green panel. One of the Links must park the Totem Armos on top of this Switch while the other three are stepped on. This will open the second door to the Triforce Gateway.

Stage 2

In Stage 2, the Links ride an elevator to a room containing another Totem Armos in the center. As they approach it, Blue Sword Soldiers suddenly appear and Red Hardhat Beetles slide down the sloped walls; all the Enemies be easily defeated with the Totem Armos. The Blue Sword Soldiers' shields will protect them from the Totem Armos, however their shields can be removed with the Gripshot. After all Enemies are defeated, the doors to the Triforce Gateway open.

The beginning of Stage 3

In Stage 3, the Links enter another chamber filled with pits of Lava. To the right side is a narrow walkway surrounded by Lava, however, Gargantuan Balls will roll down the path and prevent the Links from crossing. A Totem Armos sits nearby, but a Beamos sitting on top of it will fire beams at any of the Links who approach. The Beamos can be destroyed by forming a Totem and firing an Arrow into its eye, blasting it onto the floor with the Gust Jar, or by stunning it and striking it with the Sword. With the Totem Armos freed, one of the Links can ride it down the narrow pathway, clearing a path for the others as the Totem Armos destroys the Gargantuan Balls it comes in contact with. A Beamos will threaten to fire beams at them along the way. Once they cross the pathway, another Beamos awaits, followed by a green panel for the Totem Armos to park at. On a nearby ledge is a Treasure Chest containing three Hearts.

To the right is a pathway with a complex trap made up of four stationary Guruguru Bars firing streams of flames, and Shock Switches in between them. To get all of the Links safely past the flames, one of them must ride the Totem Armos straight to the right, which blocks the streams of flames momentarily, allowing the other two Links to pass. However, the floor gives way to a pool of Lava for the Link riding the Totem Armos. The Links on foot can strike one of the Shock Switches to alternately raise and lower a grated platform out of the Lava. Before the Totem Armos reaches the second stream of flames, the grated platform needs to be raised so that the Link riding it does not get burned. The third Guruguru Bar is elevated, so the grated platform must be lowered again. Before the fourth stream of flames, the platform must be raised again. Essentially: the Links on foot should stay below the Totem Armos to keep safe from the flames, and strike the Shock Switch in between each pair of Guruguru Bars. Should they fail at any point and need to try again, they can fall off the pathway to the south, where an elevator takes them back to the start. Once they pass the trap, the Links come to a small room with a Squiddy, a rising lift in the floor, and a green panel. Parking the Totem Armos will launch the Link(s) riding it toward the Triforce Gateway. In order to get all of the Links there together, the ones on foot must stand on the lift, ride it upward as the Totem Armos hops nearby, then drop off of it into a Totem.

The first wave of Soldiers in Stage 4

In Stage 4, the Links each appear on a ledge above a parked Totem Armos and must fight a pair of Sword Soldiers and a Spear Throwing Soldier aboard Totem Armos of their own. The Soldiers can be attacked with Arrows and well-placed Sword strikes, or knocked off their Totem Armos with the Gust Jar and easily defeated by trampling them. The Blue Sword Soldier is much more durable, but its shield can be stolen with the Gripshot. Once they are defeated, a wall lowers revealing another Blue Sword Soldier and a Grey Ball and Chain Soldier riding Totem Armos, and a Bomb Soldier riding two stacked Totem Armos. The Soldier riding the two Totem Armos can be defeated by attacking it from one of the ledges along the sides of the Stage. Once the Enemies are defeated, a door opens to three green panels and the Triforce Gateway.

Drablands Challenges

Once the Bosses of the Fortress have been defeated, Training Ground can be replayed with the following Drablands Challenges: "Clear within the time limit!", "Halved attack and defense!", and "Don't drop the pot!". Each Challenge features the same configuration of Enemies.

In "Clear within the time limit!", the Links are given a timer of two minutes in Multiplayer, or two minutes and 40 seconds in single-player. This timer can be increased by collecting Hourglasses or wearing Linebeck's Uniform.

In "Don't drop the pot!", a Bomb Flower can be found near the Shock Switches in Stage 1 to assist in activating them all. However, the Links can simply unlock the doors to the Triforce Gateway before picking up the pot.

Materials

At the end of the Level, three Treasure Chests can be opened. Two contain the same Material, and one contains another, more valuable Material.
