Regy Rusty posted:I managed to find 117 shrines without a guide but I had to look up the last three. They all ended up being in the Gerudo area and I missed them because they had localized puzzles or shrine quests and therefore didn't beep. Yeah I think if I end up guiding it I'll wait until I'm well and truly frustrated with it, but I've got some ideas (which is to say, giant empty spots on the map) to investigate first and I'm not in any rush.

The music is incredibly well done in this game, the few piano notes here and there with all the ambient sounds make the game immersive as heck I agree with all of your points but it really would be nice if the main Zelda song played at least once.

I was kind of dreading exploring Gerudo Desert because sand seals are shifty little bastards and like to disappear on you. Then I remembered shield surfing is a thing that exists and it is now my favorite area in the game. The sand doesn't slow you down at all!

Soundtrack talk: I love how much of the old classic melodies have been worked into the more ambient songs of BotW. Has anyone made a list yet of these "cameos"? Like how there's some Sheik's theme is in the Kara Kara Bazaar song, some Link's Awakening caves in the Shrine song, some Zelda 1 Spectacle Rock in the Death Mountain song etc.

On my 2nd playthrough with the HUD set to Pro. Now I comb through the lands with more appreciation and still love murdering moblins via broken royal swords thrown in their faces. I don't know if you guys have noticed, but this game is good.

TFRazorsaw posted:well that's a lot of her dialogue. But I think there's something legitimately interesting about such an iconic weapon not just being a legacy item, but a friend Link is reunited with again and again, silently supporting him across generations. I like the concept of Fi's existence, but she was handled pretty poorly and really could have really benefited from character development over the course of the game. They pulled the starting to have emotions thing at the very end, when it was already too late for you to start considering her a friend instead of just a system message that tells you what boss doors mean and when your wiimote batteries are low. Maybe they intended her character to be a missed opportunity so you would feel bad that she essentially died immediately after saying she felt happiness now and wished she could spend more time with you, but that doesn't really do anything for the entire duration of the game where she sucked.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:So I'm down to sub-20 shrines left, is there any in-game hint mechanism for "shrines you've missed" or is it just going to be "stumble around the areas that look like they don't have an even coating of shrines yet" Shiek sensor doesn't beep for shrines you've already visited, so just leave that on since most of the time it won't do anything anyways and then yeah, explore places that look like they might be missing a shrine. Alternatively just look up a map online, but that's no fun. BlackFrost posted:I really wish this game would let you discard weapons when your inventory is full and you find one in a chest or something. Throw them? It works fine  Only thing this doesn't work on is the magic rods, since they have a ranged attack for the throw move.

You want Ancient parts so you can fight guardians better. But you need to be good at fighting guardians to get ancient parts. Oh right, speaking of Guardian stuff. Does anybody know offhand what the difference is (if any) between the Gerudo Diamond Jewlery's bonus vs Guardians, and the Ancient Set's bonus vs guardians?

Beat the game, now it's time to 100% the game, which should be uh... All Pictures All Korok Seeds All Shrines All Side quests Anything else I'm missing? Unsure if there's a checklist in-game or something. Also does Kass show up anywhere playing his theme after the shrine stuff? it's good as all hell. Also other question: Is there a wiki or something that shows all armor sets that give bonuses? I'm wondering about a few that may exist

(Is it set bonus based? one piece at a time stacking? both) The only real difference is that the Diamond Jewelry won't activate the full set bonus if used alongside the Ancient set, but you'll still have the full level 3 Guardian protection if you do that. I feel like it's mostly there in case you either don't like the helmet for the actual set, or you don't want to dump as many guardian resources into a full set.

drat, getting to Zora's Domain was a hell of a hike. Even though this game is open world it still has really good level design, the entire path was littered with interesting enemy placements and traps. The pair of lightning-arrow guys behind a large puddle of water was a particularly nasty set-up. I assume I was supposed to sneak past the Lynel and steal his arrows? I just downed an armor potion and a max heart-boosting position and went at him. Was crazy fun. First dungeon was very cool. Were people really complaining about this?

I went to Hyrule Castle to get the last memory. Pretty drat cool place, felt like a proper dungeon minus puzzles. Which is fine by me since the other 4 dungeons are really just elaborate puzzles. Also I climbed to the top of Hyrule Castle and the view is pretty drat good. And of course there's a loving Korok there what are you little idiots doing here

Are the dungeon bosses fixed in difficulty or is there some kind of scaling in place? Is there an order you're more or less expected to do them in? Because the water boss definitely felt like a first boss to me

Augus posted:Are the dungeon bosses fixed in difficulty or is there some kind of scaling in place? Is there an order you're more or less expected to do them in? Because the water boss definitely felt like a first boss to me I think there might be some scaling. I found all of them trivially easy except the Gerudo boss which was very tough. I did it last so it could have been slightly because of scaling, but probably mostly static, the Gerudo questline is also the longest and feels like they wanted you to do it last. The bosses are kinda weird because if you happen to have a powerful weapon for your level (not hard to come by in this game) you can do so much damage to them so fast that you pretty much skip them every using certain attacks. I hope Hard Mode cranks all the bosses up to the same level.

I've finally uncovered the entire map so I decided to go memory hunting, they were surprisingly easy to get now that I know all the locations  I'm missing one which I assume is in the castle? It looks like it's on a castle wall anyway, someone please confirm/deny.Also got the Master Sword. I'm super intrigued by Zelda's character in this game, I wish there were twice as many memories! Love her design too, all in all it's looking like she might be my favorite incarnation of Zelda to date.

Honestly the "hard part" of the gerudo boss is just the arena being a tube with awkwardly placed platforms. The same fight in the Sanctum is way easier.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:Honestly the "hard part" of the gerudo boss is just the arena being a tube with awkwardly placed platforms. The same fight in the Sanctum is way easier. I actually think he might have kinda bugged out against me. I watched some streamers fight him after I did it, wondering what I was missing, and the fight was completely different for them. when he did the dash move, he'd only hit me once and then dash away and stop. Against them he'd do a 3 hit combo, where the 3rd hit was very easy to perfect dodge to get a window to hit him, but he literally NEVER did that against me. He would dash, which breaks lock-on, then hit me once, then dash away. It was impossible. The actual gimmick of the fight with the lightning posts was super easy, but I couldn't even get him to get into the phase where he did that because I was stuck in the first phase with a sliver of health left above 50% and he just kept doing the same bullshit I think lots of the bosses have changes to their attacks based on how low their health gets, not just the obvious major phases. And like I said, if you have a high damage weapon, you can push them right through that stage to killing them. But if you happen to leave them alive with just a sliver, then its ridiculously hard to actually finish them off.

He only did dashes at me and I never figured out how to properly dodge them. What I did was tank the hit with a shield which caused him to recoil, and then I just hit him with my heaviest weapon. His guard would eventually break and let me beat him up. The lightning post part actually gave me the most trouble for two reasons. One, trying to use magnesis in the middle of a fight on very thin objects is not easy. Two, I naturally assumed the giant monster that attacked with lightning was immune to lightning. So rather than just hold it next to him I was trying to impale him with the posts by holding them high above his head and dropping them. The game had to literally spell out "hey dumbass you're just supposed to shock him". EDIT: The combat in this game is probably significantly harder if you never uses shields honestly. Shield durability is very high and lets you tank pretty much anything once you get the good ones. I've noticed Lynel in particular are much easier if I just let them punch my shield rather than try to dodge every single one of their attacks.
