Did the update make officers weaker or does Young Link just cut through everyone's defenses like butter? He killed a Poe in seconds without having to even worry about the weakpoint gauge and then did the same with Lizalfos and Darknuts. :stare:

Possibly both.

This is the boy, the myth, the legend, after all.

It was a good way to get the Biggoron Sword moveset in there, also.

Just finished playing the new and patched characters for six hours, as well as finishing up the last few outfits on MQ then starting on the TP map. Like others have done, I unlocked a few of Y. Link's badges, then gained thirty levels getting 3000 kills on the MQ KO mission. He is goddamn bonkers. Tingle is fun too, but he seems a lot less intuitive than Y. Link. His C5 is nice, but his others are weird or less effective than I'd like. I don't get his balloon charge C1 either. He feels like a clunky cousin of Agitha and Baton Zelda.

The TP stuff is fun so far. Dropping the Material Master potion on these later maps is great, we got huge piles of silver/gold mats easily, and it isn't nearly as expensive as I figured it would be.

Oh, and New Zant is AMAZING. I'm still stomping and spinning like usual, but he feels so much better with the quality of life changes. I didn't play Ganondorf but my only issues with him (gauge charge time, C6 vulnerability) were fixed, so I may actually use him now. It just sucks that I like all the Dark weapons because I can't play them all as much as I'd like. :(

I appreciate that while Young Link is good Twili Midna is still the best character.

Speaking of which anyone else notice that Y.Link slaps on Pegasus Boots for that triforce slash?

I just needed to tell the internet. I got all the weapons from the first map. I am extremely proud of this. Last five, in order of acquiring: Fi's Sword, Ruto's Scale, Zelda's Baton, Link's Fairy, Lana's Gate. So happy. Now, of course, those 25k skills will all be worth it!

Always amused seeing people go "wow I got 2500 kills in that MQ map with Y.Link he's busted" yet here's Midna with 3200+. She actually starts running out of enemies on that map :allears:

For as much of a shitwrecker as Fierce Deity Link is, he's actually not all that fast at it. My record with him on that map is in the 3000-3100 KOs range, whereas my best with Twili Midna, Cia, or Master Sword Link are all more in the range of 3600. I've seen people claim as high as 4500 KOs on that map with Twili Midna, and I could believe that being possible.

I've played some of the Termina Map now, and I'm really not all that pleased by how much it's railroading me on a certain path. I guess it might sort of emulate the natural path taken in Majora's Mask this way? It's annoying, though. Also, I'm doing my usual thing of keeping track of quick map types with high profile enemies on them, so whenever I finish this beast of a map I'll post that here like before. Enemies on the Termina Map only seem to drop double loot every so often, though, so the Twilight Map might still be the go to for materials for most characters.

The levels on the Termina Map are pretty cool. It's a good thing, too, because there are so many chokepoints and hidden enemy squares that you're gonna have no choice but to play several of them multiple times. I'm currently walled off from every Zora mask either by Zora mask whirlpools or by Goron spots, and the two close Goron spots require Goron masks to get to them. I'm really not a fan of that design choice but I guess it's whatever.

Oh god, I have so much catching up to do. I still haven't done Cia's campaign or finished the vanilla Adventure Map. I can't believe Tingle got a slot while Groose and Tetra are out in the cold. Gettin' that blowjob to the level cap's gonna be an event. He seems alright on groups but anything with a name is gonna take awhile.

Are there any good Let's Play type videos for HW that actually keeps up to date with new content? I like seeing how other players tackle things.

Edit: turned the entire system off and back on and started from the Wii U menu and it worked. Sure would be cool if I didn't have to do complex eldritch ceremonies in order to access stuff

Yeah it was annoying for me too. I turned on the system, and went to the main menu and started the game from there, where I got a "Software update complete" message. It gave me the update, but I didn't have the DLC. I closed the game, went into the Download menu, and it didn't show any downloads for Hyrule Warriors. Went back into the game, still didn't have the DLC.

I ended up having to go to the eShop and looking at the DLC for Hyrule Warriors. As soon as I chose "View Downloadable Content" the system then said "Preparing software download," after which I was able to exit the eShop and start up the game and have the DLC activate.

Nintendo is doing great with DLC, I just wish they'd figure out how to make it actually work better.

Grandpa Ganondorf. It's more a fitting nickname in Smash than here, though, because in Smash he's just a buff grandpa and in Hyrule Warriors he's basically Akuma.

I then proceeded to gently caress around as Agitha for 3 hours for no god damned reason.

The import question is: did you enjoy loving around as Agitha for 3 hours for no god damned reason?

If yes, good for you, you enjoy life more than most.

If no, you need to sit down and examine where you are in life and where you want to go.

I've done dick-all with her and I have yet to progress in MQ past the level that requires that you use her on the way to Volgra's T3 weapon.

Honestly? I've been putting off even trying to play as her after listening to everyone bitch about how horrible she is, but I managed to get into a serious groove with her and she was actually a lot of fun. She may be small and animu as all hell, but she's a slow moving force of nature, all tornadoes and beetles and butterflies just laying waste to piles of enemies. I don't get people bitching about her butterfly not hitting enemies on the ground, when the ability is clearly an extension of all of her other combos that launch piles of enemies into the air.

She may be completely horrible for people used to fighting captains with finesse and precision, but she's a straight atomic bomb, chewing through piles of mooks and keeps.

The million and a half rupees I got from selling my poo poo was great. Used it to power level Agitha and Zant for their level 3 weapon challenges. Got Agitha's easy after that, but failed Zant's by a single pixel when Ganondorf died right before I could kill Girahim. Oh well, shouldn't be too bad to redo.

On the regular adventure map, all I have left to do weapon wise is Zant, Lana's Gate, and Link's Fairy. gently caress getting all heart pieces. They're worthless anyway.

It depends. Your ears are your biggest clue. When you get close, the music mutes and the Skulltula skittering noise becomes very loud. They're usually on the ground or on a wall, but sometimes they are hidden under a rock you need to bomb or hiding on top of a platform you need the hookshot to climb.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that they won't always be in the exact center of the web on the map. More often than not, you'll find them hiding on the very outskirts of the webbed area. Use your ears, yo.

What are you even booing here?

The Gold Skulltulas are almost never directly in the center of the web, but they are somewhere in that web. You want to run around until you find a spot where the music fades away and all you can hear is the creepy little SKRTCH SKRTCH of their awful giant spider legs. You may have to grapple up to a special point or clear some tentacles with a boomerang but usually they're just in outside a keep or something.

Zant just got an enormous buff in the update, so you may want to just try him again.

In general, his shots from the totem poll attack is nice, and the stomp one can clear some keeps quickly (if leave you a bit open), but stop just shy of the crazy meter filling all the way up and empty it with his regular strong attack.

It does, yeah, and I actually found that pretty neat. You gotta do the mini-dungeon tiles to unlock the items to get to the major dungeon tiles to unlock the final dungeon. Just don't make the same mistake I did and waste your first goron mask on revealing the enemies on the major dungeon tile in the southern area. That thing takes forever to respawn and all other tiles that reward more goron masks require you to use that fist one you got.

Also I hate whoever decided that your opponents in contest mission should get huge damage buffs, should be immune to hit-stun and drop everything to hunt you down rather than focusing on racking up cash or kills themselves.

For Fi, her C5 gives the same light buff as her C1 if it hits multiple enemies, and it's easy to catch captains in it if you dance around them with the first couple hits so they don't block the finisher. If it launches them then you can juggle them long enough for the C6 which does masses of damage.

For breaking non-boss weak points I usually launch with C2 and hit them again in the air. For bosses, C6 seems to do the most damage. Make sure you have the light buff, it makes a difference.

C4 is great for when you're on your way to somewhere and want to plough through some enemies without slowing yourself down too much. I haven't found a good use for the C3, it's pretty underwhelming.

Man you know I was wary of the DLC pulling me back in but a mixture of wanting to get skulltulas for the grinding maps and Young Link being a loving beast convinced me to go balls deep again but the prospect of earning every character's weapon is super daunting.
Especially Agatha who I know is a pain to master and Zant who I understand has been substantially buffed but still man wanting to get good with so many characters is annoying.

So what is the deal with mixtures? Do you actually have to drink one of your potions? Is it before or after the things dropped? I've used a few material masters but I don't seem to be getting more items, just seeing bosses drop gold/silver items more consistently.

You make a mixture and it affects the next stage and the next stage only. Material Master does exactly what you said, increases the chances of getting higher ranked materials, you don't get more material drops from it.
