Ursine Catastrophe posted:Serious question with flurry rush: has anyone actually managed to trigger it off of the lynel 1h weapon attack where they kind of sweep both their arms in? I can't even manage to dodge that attack. I kept trying and could never get the timing down. Eventually I just started turtling behind a shield anytime he did it because I was not learning the timing. Fighting Lynels on my naked run is gonna be...interesting. They were the only thing that felt threatning even with upgraded gear so I'm really gonna need to git gud. I actually ran into one in a place I didn't know they could be and fled like a coward. Then like 10 seconds later I heard a weird whizzing sound and, thinking back to past experiences, started sprinting out of fear. Sure enough shock arrows began raining from the sky. I wasn't even in the Lynel's LOS anymore. He was just blindfiring them from the other side of a cliff

You have to do it pretty early though I think, before his arms start to swing much if at all

Ometeotl posted:There is nothing wrong or finicky with the Guardian parrying timing or the Flurry Rush window or anything, you're just bad at it. The windows are vastly different from enemy to enemy. For Bokoblins you can do it seemingly anywhere in their attack animations, but for things like Lynels or Lizalfos I'm finding that I need to basically dodge extremely close to being hit to get it to trigger. Lynels have the additional issue where if they do the charge sweeping attack that requires a backflip, the camera pans to the side to let the Lynel pass, so pushing Down + B causes a side jump instead of a backflip due to the quick camera jerk and I get hit. I need to check the options to see if they have a setting for absolute directional control instead of relational control like in Monster Hunter, because as it is I'm doing what the game wants me to do to be rewarded and I'm being punished instead. I don't quite understand why the game wouldn't have 'Down + B' always do a backflip regardless of facing when you are locked on, as you then have no control of the camera changing the camera's orientation compared to Link's facing in close quarters. It seems like an oversight. I don't know what people mean by saying the Guardian parry is fine. I've tested it by hitting it at the exact same time at the exact same spot against the exact same guardian, and have a) successfully parried, b) had my 100% durability shield completely destroyed, or c) been hit with the beam on different attempts. After running through four shields and three fairies I got the third parry off and won, but it didn't leave me feeling like I learned anything or overcame a fair challenge. The visual cues for the Guardians being reliant on distance to them isn't great for me, as I don't have a good sense of depth perception in the game. Maybe if they had your shield flash instead, instead of having to calculate the distance of a moving target on a slight hill backlit with sunset. I, having played Monster Hunter since the first generation, understand demanding tight controls in a game that generally has high difficulty and expects you to learn or gently caress off. But the weird spiky difficulty of fighting specifically Guardians, mostly due to loose controls and poor communication of mechanics triggers, seems out of place in a game that lets you just spam attacks against nearly everything else outside of bosses and Lynels, gives you tons of healing items, etc.

Honestly Guardians are not that hard to parry. I have messed up the timing on it but it did not take long for me to get the timing down for it pretty easily.

Or just using an ancient arrow which you can have plenty of by the time you reach Hyrule Castle. I realize I don't have to parry them. But parrying is apparently a thing that should be able to be done every time if done in the correct window every time, but that isn't the case. And unless I use consumables like Ancient Arrows (which I had 0 of when I first got to Hyrule Castle, and only have 7 of after getting the x5 chest inside said Castle on my last run in), the turrets take a lot of hits to go down, and are buggy to take on in close quarters. As mentioned before, if you lock onto them then Link decides that swinging at air toward the eye far out of his reach is a better use of his time than to slash at the base he is standing at, and I keep having the issue where if I do a jump attack against them he gets stuck on the base in the midair slashing animation for a few seconds, letting the turret charge most of a shot while I have zero control of my character. It's a legitimate set of complaints that add up to a frustrating experience, and the people saying I can just avoid that part of the game if I want are missing the point. If the game crashed when you equipped chest armor, would it be just as good of a game? After all, you can just not equip chest armor and still win!

The hardest thing about guardians is locking onto them. I'd say my game has a fifty fiftychance of locking onto a guardian. I have never locked onto a flying guardian. I'm getting sick of being blasted into oblivion without being able to parry these beams.

Regy Rusty posted:Good news is if you're bad at parrying you never have to do it. I got through the whole game without using it once! Just get an Ancient Shield or two and you're set for guardian lasers. I personally used Flurry Rush a lot more but if you're not good at that you don't NEED to use it either. If you're finding the game hard try using more of the tools at your disposal. Stasis+ can help a ton on the hardest fights, the various elemental arrows are INCREDIBLY useful against tons of different enemies and so on. There are so many options for combat that you should use what helps you the most. I didn't parry all game, successfully backflipped probably... 25 times and beat the game today at ~110 hours and 19.1% complete ama. I didn't know you could parry until I watched that video someone posted about the guy and the red lynel. I spent the majority of my game collecting things and climbing mountains and flying

Why are you even locking on to them Also, you can parry guardian lasers with ~95% success rate if you don't suck at it.

You don't need to be locked on to parry, just holding block and facing in vaguely the right direction.

The final boss fight wasn't all that tough but it was pretty cool. I managed to do the final hit to Calamity Ganon with a deflected laser, and even though Beast Ganon was basically a big QTE, it was still cool and the music was rad as hell. Probably going to start playing less now but I love the hell out of this game and I'm gonna get all the shrines slowly but surely. And then probably buy it again on Switch and play it all again. Breath of the Wild has me all excited about Zelda again and that's a nice feeling.

"Okay Link, I've hosed up again because I guess there's one guy in a blind spot I never check, and now I've got two huge assholes after me. I can beat one of them fair and square, but two of them is probably going to end me. What to do..." On realization of 70+ bomb arrows I refuse to use and a dust collecting Tri-bow pulled out later... "Ah yes. the Ryu Hayabusa school of ninjitsu." Pretty bullshit that they didn't drop their cool looking swords though. Fortunately that run, I was experimenting with if arrow headshots can be used for stealth kills (They can't  ), and the one in the first room dropped it.

Not only do Foxes and Rams not bother me, but they only drop the least delicious meat anyways Meanwhile, bombing a pack of squirrels gets me more nuts than chopping down over fifty trees in preparation for tarry town did.

1. Are there any elemental weapons I should be saving or anything or always have on hand? I guess or course a ice/fire one to equip for associated climates. I know you can get more 2. So ancient parts are just for the armor? Is that worth grinding out? I'm not going to bother upgrading all the armor but I figure I should at least upgrade the climbing set to level 2 3. So on fairy shrines do they each upgrade different armor or is two diff fairy shrines just going to get you up one level each or what. Kind or confused on this part 4. As someone who's fairly casual how many hearts should I have before I plan on finishing the game etc. I'm not one to get every shrine etc 5. The gently caress can't I teleport straight into my house

Kite Pride Worldwide posted:Are there any indestructible items or weapons? I imagine the Master Sword is, but anything else? Pretty sure the one you mentioned is it, the hylian shield or whatever just has a really high durability Also it's not exactly "indestructible" the master sword, it will eventually stop working and you have to wait for it to recharge. The dumb thing is it doesn't recharge until it's completely used up. Makes no god drat sense

Does anyone else not like two handed weapons? They are nice if the one hit you can get in will kill whatever you're fighting. If it takes more than 1-2 hits, you're going to get hit back. They are just too slow to do anything. Unless I cheese stasis or ice or something, I can't hit a lizalfos with a two handed weapon. By the time Link starts swinging, the lizalfos has already jumped away. A moblin is going to hit me by the time I can get a second swing in. Even with stasis, the weapons swing so slowly I can only get a couple hits in because whatever monster it is gets punted across the field/room. I much prefer the spears and one handed swords.

When I'm using a two-hander it's mostly about baiting flurry rushes and maybe getting extra licks in if they have other really obvious windows.

Two hand running attacks are pretty great, they're fast and usually combo into a knockdown. Between that and hitting super hard in flurries and spin2win charge attacks I find it's pretty useful to keep a couple good 2handers around.
