My boomerang doesn't hit all his heads after the seed Attack, for some reason it only homes in on the lower ones usually

loving Impa's lv 3 Nagitana(sp?) mission. I wanted the heart container really badly but couldn't find it. Turns out it appeared in a Keep that my AI allies captured so I never saw it appear. And there were so many soldiers in the keep I couldn't see the chest. loving hell.

Actually I don't think things like chests appear if you're not the one to capture the keep. I know enemy drops don't happen if your allies land the killing blow, and I assume this is the same.

One of the things that bothers me a little is that after you perform the circumstances necessary to unleash the skulltula, the game seems to wait until every other message at the time is processed before it finally says "A skulltula appeared!" and activates it. It's a little annoying with the first-mission-1200-kills-less-than-four-hearts ones, because with the skulltula inevitably being nowhere near the enemy base, you have kind of just tool around and spin in circles for a bit.

I got Agitha's level 3 last night. Thanks, thread! I went for a mix of riding butterflies and dropping beetles. I also did some damage to Zelda while padding my kill count and rescuing Cia, which ended with Cia KOing her while I dealt with Link. Turns out she does pretty well if you take out the Dinolfos attacking her. Who knew? I can just about do Zant's too. KOs and damage aren't an issue, but I'm just a few seconds too slow. So far, what I've been doing is charging my insanity meter with the giant stomp attack on the crowd straight ahead at the start, then I run to Ganondorf and unleash his strong attack spin thing and grab as many things as possible, then I hit them with a special before they even hit the ground. Then I just keep charging the meter and unleashing it into every objective or threat to Ganondorf. My special meter builds fast enough that I never have to worry about it. I'm using a 5 star level 2 for him with Darkness+ and some Strength skill. I just need to figure out some way to shave a few seconds off of my time. I'm not really sure what though, since it's the Aeralfos, stalks and Ghirahim that are eating up all my time. Isn't the hookshot supposed to expose Aeralfos' weakpoint when they're airborne? I know it worked for me the first time I did that item weakness quiz, but it's never worked since.

You know, one of my biggest regrets in life is that the person who designed Zelda's level 2 baton mission will never know how much I hate him. "Nice, I manage to take out Volga without taking too much damage!" (Eats two offscreen Wizzro beams)

So while trying to find my best option for getting Ganon's Fang, I found this here page that seemingly lists out all materials, what they come from, and suggested farming stages. Figured I'd share with the class. Sorry if some of the formatting in this post is weird, mobile posting sucks. edit: yep totally botched that and had to fix it liquidypoo fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Oct 31, 2014 |

Even though those maps are super fast, most of the time the captains in them don't drop materials, so you're only going to get a couple materials for each run anyway.

Then just ignore him. Even if he starts to threaten the Allied Base later, he should be so weakened from battling Rogue Forces and your own guys that he'll be a lot easier to pick off at that later point.

Woo, finally found the Skulltula that completes the illustration. It was in the "Defeat the mountain beast" mission. Just 9 Skulltulas to go and then I'm done with the basic Adventure mode map (I'm not getting all the pieces of heart).

I would think that the pieces of heart are at least easier than most of the skulltula, but yeah, they really are just there for completionist purposes and are fairly useless. I will probably try to get them all, but I'll move on to mostly playing the MQ map after I manage to get the weapons.

I'm still trying to get the last couple of weapons for characters I hate. I've got most chars high level and fully equipped by now, but Zant, Agitha and Summoning Gate Lana have gotten very little love. I finally got Zant's Lv 2 today and I think I have a much better sense of how he works, but he still feels weak compared to some of the other guys.

Skulltulas being challenging can make them fun to get and not just feeling like busywork. Plus skulltulas actually unlock more content which pieces of heart don't.

I don't understand the requirements for the Hard Skulltula for the Ganondorf Gerudo Desert mission. Do you have to capture every keep before killing any of the Lizalfoses and Aeralfoses? Then kill each and every one of them? Then kill 2/3 big bosses? Without any of the keeps falling? Because if so, that's really stupid.

Don't worry, it's not that! First, capture all the keeps and kill all the Aeralfos and Lizalfos. Second, spawn the Giant bosses. Third kill the new Aeralfos and Lizalfos that spawn along with the bosses, as well as two of the three bosses. That last step is probably what you were missing.

There is a simple explanation for the difference between your experiences with each mission: Zant is poo poo terrible and gauntlet Link is ridiculously good. But just work toward little goals at a time, like a specific weapon or something, and you'll be getting through the map in no time.

Speaking of unlocking weapons, you people weren't kidding about Volga's level 3 weapon unlock being super easy to get, especially considering how easy it is to get to that square on the map. I guess I'll be putting off getting the level 2 weapon as long as possible now.

So I did one of those quiz-style trial missions today in adventure mode, and I can officially confirm that it doesn't matter whether or not the camera is on the wrong target when the correct one goes down. In one of them I got a drop from someone halfway across the room, and in another the camera was facing both of them dead on and the wrong one just disappeared when I beat the right one. So I guess it's just random? I dunno.

When it comes to quizzes, in my experience regular captains (lizalfos, poes etc.) will only give drops if they are the correct target, the other won't. The playable characters (Impa, Zelda etc.) on the other hand usually both will give drops as long as I manage to hit them both with the last attack. What I like to do is whittle down the correct answer while keeping the incorrect answers health as high as I can, until the correct answers health is low enough that I can finish them with a special attack, and then catch both of them in the special. Remember to use the boomerang to stun the incorrect answer and lure the correct answer away from them while you're doing the whittling.

In one of them I got a drop from someone halfway across the room, and in another the camera was facing both of them dead on and the wrong one just disappeared when I beat the right one. It's probably because things get a little weird if you get a kill that causes the camera to suddenly swing to a different, dynamic viewpoint. Sometimes it acts like the camera is still in the position you had it in beforehand but sometimes it acts like the camera is in the new position. The best way around this is doing what Alacron suggested and hitting both enemies with the killing blow, even though that is not strictly necessary for getting a drop from the incorrect target. Also, like I mentioned in my huge list post from before, normal captains don't drop items when they're the incorrect target most likely because they're never flagged to drop items when they retreat, only when they are killed. Playable characters can drop items in either situation, which is why this tends to work.

This level gave me the most grief a video game has given in a modern history. I had to cheat and use the two player trick. I let player two be Princess Zelda. I used a much better character and even with my best character I still barely pulled that off. If anyone wants to repeat this, quickly move Princess Zelda to the fairy fountain that is under ally control and use a piece of tape to hold down the defend button. Zelda will be okay until more severe bosses appear near there. Also, have Zelda smash open the yellow jar to get a special meter filled up. As you play with Player 1, look at Zelda's screen every so often to see that she is still okay. If you have her on the Gamepad, the Gamepad will vibrate if she's under attack so you can hear/feel it if the Gamepad is near you. So, to recap, as soon as the level begins, run Zelda to the fairy fountain, smash the yellow jar to fill her special meter, pause the game, tape down the defend button, then unpause. You can do this in about 45 seconds. Now, use player one to clean house. If Zelda is in immediate danger, press the A button to use her special to buy some time as you come to her aid.

I just got four more level 3 weapons, woop woop. I got Link's gauntlets, Sheik's harp, Lana's Deku Spear, and Ghiranim's swords or whatever it is he has. As I find areas where I need to search, I like to go back to areas I've already beaten but missed the A rank to get items, so that I can have another chance at getting heart pieces/containers, and that's also been working out well. Just a few more weapons to go...
