There's one quiz that says "Defeat the Monster Summoner!" and then it spawns Lana and Cia :shepface:

The answer is Cia, which makes me wish you could use the summoning gate with her.

So have managed to get a 5-star, 8-slot, Gleaming Rapier for Zelda, and I'm trying to figure out the layout I want for it. Can someone tell me how the Bomb+, Arrow+, et al. function. I want to know if they're worth using.

Mooks you kill will occasionally drop one of the bomb, bow, etc. powerups. I don't know whether it's random or just after a set amount, but it seems pretty frequent from what I've seen. Powered up bombs and bow are great items, but it's not really a better skill than other options. Hookshot+ and boomerang+ are wastes.

Okay, so it just makes the power-ups drop more frequently, then? I think there are better options if that's the case.

You automatically get the power up without having to pick up anything when you kill dudes but it's completely random in my experience. It's nice but there are better skills out there.

All those 1000 KO skills trigger every 300 KOs on the map, or at least that's true of Special+.

I went and tested it just now and it does indeed activate at 300 KO's. Looks like Bombs+ is the only one worth having since the others are pretty garbage in general.

I got all the Story Mode hard skulltulas! :neckbeard: I'm still missing 2 pieces from the illustration, though. I assume they're in Adventure mode?

I tried getting one of the second Skulltullas in Adventure the other night and drat the damage requirement is strict! 4 hearts is 1,000 damage, correct? A-ranks let you take 4,000! :stare: It's... going to take awhile before I can take that little damage on anyone but Sheik.

Where are the other two pieces for the hard mode Skultulla illustration, anyway?

That's how you get tinnitus

100 damage is one quarter of a heart, so four hearts is 1600 damage.

And I think they were near the start of the map?

The last two skulltulas for that picture are the first two Legend levels on Hard. Not difficult at all, but some of them have weird requirements that the game has marked as ??? so I recommend just looking up a guide online.

I remember there was this one quiz that said "Defeat the home owner!" and Girahim and Agitha popped up. My line of thinking was Girahim is evil and the twlight realm is pretty much ruled by Zant until after TP so I went after Girahim. It was Agitha because I guess Agitha was a part of TP. I was a little annoyed.

The arrows power up can kill an enemy character pretty easily. Especially if you have the first level of its skill, Light+, or are on a Light recommended level.

Should I feel bad about just powering through the Adventure Mode map as the Ganon Cannon to unlock everything for later when I actually feel like playing as other characters and/or feel masochistic enough to make myself play as Darunia or Fi?

Only insofar as it means you are not playing Cia or the newly awesome Zant. I really hope this game drums up some fan and Nintendo support for more conventional Zelda games where you play as the 'dorf or other characters.

I literally just unlocked Zant, as in it was the last map I played that unlocked him. I have been intending to play as him because although I never played much Twilight Princess he has greatly endeared me to him with his wacky chicken noises and :wtf: fighting style.

I have the same question. I know the Master Quest lower left corner is great, but I'm not there yet. The original adventure mode is all unlocked for me, though.

Well I don't think it is too hard to get to that bottom left corner of MQ, and it is recommended for a reason. It is very, very good exp and rupees (and weapons and materials) for the difficulty and time investment, so grinding slowly in order to unlock it later to do even more grinding there seems less efficient than just having a bit of :gitgud: and heading there ASAP to ride the gravy train. Unless you are a babby and can barely beat average First Quest map missions, I guess. The only hard part I remember is possibly the mission right before it, which I think is a Great Fairy unlock.

If you're not even at that point in Master Quest then you don't need to worry about grinding. Just play through the maps and make progress.

What's the best place to grind just to unlock the kill skills? I'm not sure which map will get you the most kills in the least amount of time but I'm gonna assume its the first "rack up your KOs!" mission. Sucks because even on that it takes me over an hour to get 25,000 kills.

It varies really, for 2000 and 4000 I'd do the first rack up KOs mission since I can average about 2000 every run, but getting 4000 on any one mission is rare. For 3000 I'd do the bottom left mission, I can get 3000 there in one run with a good amount of characters, but it varies.

I just got them the other day. They are in the original Adventure Mode map, though I don't remember exactly where. I've been working my way through the skulltulas while I grind some levels out for my lower level characters.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
So i made the mistake of remembering that the WiiU tracks how long you play games.

110 hours in Hyrule Warriors...


...and i've only unlocked about half of the Master Quest map.

Abuse the poo poo out of C4 (the fire wave) with some C3 (butt slam) thrown in, although you could say doing the same thing over and over is its own special brand of misery. But seriously, C4 is really really good. Also break captain WPs with C2 or by mashing Strong.

Are there even any Imprisoned fights in the Majora's Mask map? I got to the credits and I don't think I fought the dude even once. Granted I haven't beaten every single tile but at least the straight path to the end of the map is pretty Imprisoned-free.

Two Imprisoned show up in one of the "Defeat X amount of enemies before the other team" maps that you pretty much just ignore:

G6 - 2x Imprisoned, Wizzro, Ghirahim, Volga, Lizalfos, Dinolfos vs. 3x Dark Fi

There's also an Imprisoned in a "Defeat All Enemies" map:

F5 - Stalmaster + 2x Shield Moblin, Impa + Sheik, Imprisoned + Ghirahim + mini Imprisoned

I can't think of any other examples though.
