Speaking of those guys, is there a good trick to fighting the ones where the ore weak spot isn't on top? The ones where it's on top are really easy--just climb up and beat on the weak spot--but when it's on their back or something I have a hell of a time. The only time I killed one of those was by running in circles around it painstakingly blowing off its arms with bombs and getting in a couple hits each time (while trying not to let it fall on me when it leaned forward to rebuild its arms). It was... not a fun experience. Fucker didn't even drop anything but ambers and flints, too.

I think they mean the boss-style top-of-screen health bar with a name above it.

You'll hit it anyway.

Speaking of health: does anyone know exactly how defense works in this? Is it just a flat damage reduction or is there something more to it? I'm curious because I know enemies have standard hit points and, if you're wearing the Champion's Tunic, you can see that your weapons are always doing exactly as much damage per swing as their attack power says, unless you're hitting something that weapon type can't damage (like a normal sword on the little rock guys). Do weapons do the same amount of damage in enemies' hands as they do in Link's, but reduced by Link's armor? Do hearts count as 4 HP each, or more? Is there any way of even really testing that?

Harrow posted:I'm not sure if that's a long or short list for a Zelda game but it feels relatively short for a big open world game. A dozen base types seems pretty standard to me for open world games. Often a lot less if you discount different weapon/armour loadouts for human enemeies.

So has anyone found the extremely obvious Skyrim shoutout section yet? A snowy mountain north of Hateno has steps partially covered in snow that wind up the mountain path. At the top is a shrine with a loving dragon with Ganon blight all over it just chilling at the peak. You have to get the blight off to solve the shrine puzzle. If that isn't a shoutout to the 7,000 steps up to the Greybeard's place (and Paarthunax) then I don't even know. It's pretty awesome.

Runcible Cat posted:I don't think these really need spoilers but what the hell. Oh yeah, I forgot those Yiga assholes. I was spoilering them just because I know some people are really sensitive to spoilers, especially for a mega-hyped game like this where there are lots of cool surprises to find. In this case, I guess, the spoiler is that there aren't any real surprises in the enemy types except maybe Lynels, but hey

Horses are sort of crap unless you have the Epona amiibo horse because every horse with good stats has the wild trait which means they control like rear end. Gentle horses are too slow and low stamina. I just want a plain old average horse or one that's maxed out everything that's gentle.

Oh huh, I thought maxing out your bond with the horse would mean they'll always listen to you. I've only tamed gentle horses so far, though I haven't really been going out of my way since I'm tending to go so many places a horse can't follow right now anyway.

Horses with the wild trait will still jitter from time to time even at max bond. I caught one early that was 1 strength, 4 speed/stamina but was Wild and I couldn't stand it. The horse I like the most was 1 strength, 3 speed, 2 stamina that was gentle but got hit with a stray bomb arrow.

I tried preemptively blowing up a person I straight up knew was a banana hoarding Yiga fucker. Didn't work. So I spoke to them, enjoyed that awesome facial expression they get, and then froze them in time and smacked their poo poo in. They unfroze and instantly died. I picked up their bananas and ate it over their corpse. Brutal. Major Tests of Strength make me sad. I suck so badly at them, despite having good armour and high amount of hearts and strong weapons. It just takes so long to chip down the damage and I eventually make a mistake and die when they're around 500hp. OnimaruXLR posted:man the giant horse kinda sucks in terms of not being able to go into a whole hog gallop High strength lets your horse tank more damage before attempting to flee, I believe. I've never tag teamed tough enemies with my horse, but I let him help me out in the little Goblin camps. He's also really good at stomping on those little rock boulder enemies and I get to easily harvest their ores. Got pushed against the edge of a cliff and it was just me and my horse battling against two Lizalfos mobs. My horse kept one busy whilst I slowly killed the other. Then I hear a terrible screech, look behind me, and see my horse get pushed off of the loving cliff. It ragdolled and died. I instantly reloaded my save.

Wild horses control fine at max affection which you can get to by the time you get them back to the stable by just spamming L. Also there are a few special horses that buck less than normal. specifically the white royal horse, which has great stats, and the Giant horse

Harrow posted:I really wish there was a way to do the Moderate and Major tests of strength without breaking like six weapons on each guardian Cook 5 bananas for a triple attack boost stew that lasts 4 minutes. It really gets more mileage out of your weapons. You probably need about three weapons with 30+ attack power and plently of arrows. Once you beat one major test of strength, the others are easy because you'll have at least three really good weapons to use for the next one. Zore posted:Progress through the game. It has moderate scaling based on how many dungeons you beat so enemies and chests will have better equipment and be higher tier. I don't know if the world scaling is based of how many dungeons you beat or heart total. I've only claimed two divine beasts, but have 18 hearts and there's a ton of silver variant mobs wielding top tier gear.

guardian++ weapons don't seem as fragile. Most strong weapons have pretty decent durability except royal guard weapons, which have the highest stats but break after 12 hits or so.

I got the White Royal Horse. loving idiot thing kept trying to throw itself at the cliff near where it hangs out and kill itself in spite of the game's code preventing it from falling over the edge, so now it's named Freckles. loving Freckles will most likely get itself killed in some idiot manner in the future, because he is a Horse.

I named mine Cliffy for the same reason - I ended up slapping it with a sword after mounting it to get it off the drat cliffs where it fell into the water and swam to shore

You'd think a spear would do terrible damage to a rock monster, but if you have one with a damage stat in the teens they go down super fast. Spears are by far the best weapon type, imo. Reach advantage + hyperlight attack speed = Boko guts everywhere.
