lifts cats over head posted:Do you do that just by taking their weapons and dropping one of yours? Yep. They get real mad and then grab the nearest weapon they see, so you can make them pick up whatever you want. It's most effective with Blizzard Rods and the full upgraded Rito set, as the AoE on Blizzard Rods is massive , so your new buddy's wild, uncoordinated swinging of his new toy will fairly quickly freeze everybody on the battlefield except for you. From there, you can use the weapon you stole to smash the frozen enemies for triple damage without worrying too much as they will fairly quickly get frozen again. Then, when the battlefield is littered with enemy remains and scattered weapons, you can use those to kill your Blizzard Buddy at little-to-no risk at all, and retrieve your unharmed Blizzard Rod, since weapons do not degrade when enemies are using them (drat Ganon magic!  ). Bam! You've basically killed an entire encampment at little-to-no cost to you.Not sure why I spoilered my previous post. I guess it's just so much fun to discover these things for myself that I kind of want to let people do so if they so choose. But then, I guess if people really want to discover things on their own, they wouldn't be in this thread.

I interpret the shrines as links digital avatar being uploaded into a virtual reality which is treated as mystical by the shiekah. Link can do it because he's not "real", he's a constructed reality created by shiekah tech in the shrine of resurrection I'm probably wrong. Who knows.

Your real protection is upgraded armor that makes you element-proof. The enemy can still hurt you by hitting you with the actual physical rod, but it's so short and does so little damage that it barely matters. Incidentally, element-proof armor makes fighting Wizzrobes really fun. They literally cannot harm you directly. But it's sure fun to watch them try!

thatguy posted:Where are the shrines located exactly? Like in relation to the map are they all really "underground" or when you get into the elevator are you teleported off somewhere to a group of them? I know people have already broken out of shrines so maybe if you could break into another shrine and take the elevator up you could basically teleport to an entirely different part of the map. The shrines are all in their own separate maps I'm pretty sure

Do not try to bend the shroom — that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no shroom.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:All things considered, my bet is that it's in place because of someone falling through the world somewhere, getting voided out the the overworld without the parasail, and then voiding back into the overworld every time they tried to climb back up If someone fell through the world then they should have just make the void out area under the land and have that reset you to the Great Plateau. Augus posted:tbf you could probably very easily stick your game in an unwinnable state exploring off the plateau without a glider I think a lot of things would be impossible to finish, but I'm 100% positive you could do the Castle and beat Ganon without it.

Link paraglides in the cutscene leading up to phase 1. Not sure if the inventory is checked for that, but I'm kind of hoping it is and Link pratfalls into battle.

Well, since you can eat while climbing and you can make stamina restoring food, you can conceivably climb anywhere in the game just by taking your time and munching on some stamina meals. So you don't really NEED a paraglider to get anywhere specifically unless climbing is forbidden.

i wonder if they did it just because there's so many random other things that assume you have it, like everything in the rito area i'm just picturing you getting dropped into the target firing range in the rito area and it's like "3, 2, 1, GO" and you just fall out of the sky Augus posted:What if you used all of your stamina potions to get up getting down tall cliffs sans paraglider is as easy as repeatedly letting go and holding towards the cliff to latch back on, which costs next to no stamina

So today my friend Silver Falcon was doing a stream to cheer me up because I have this wicked cold and laryngitis AT THE SAME TIME and she does the Goron one where you climb the wall. I kept trying to indicate to her that there was a second Goron one that she could do, but since I could only rasp feebly and she can't read chat at the same time she streams it didn't work out. NEXT TIME! the way you keep talking about this girl is really cute/sad, you should ask her out or whatever

The thing that I learned about hinoxes is that if you fire bomb arrows at them with the triple arrow bow they die in like 10 seconds. You know, for those times you want hinox loot, but don't want to work for it.

Fun fact: if you shoot a sleeping Hinox in the eye with a multi bow, the first arrow will "wake him up" and the other two will count as hitting his weak spot, making him instantly go into his stun animation, so he'll go from lying on the ground, to standing, to falling on his rear end clutching his eye in the span of about three frames.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:I wasn't aware such a thing existed. White and Silver Lynels carry them. It's a random weapon bonus for their bows, and interestingly enough, it's randomized upon loading. You can save on a ledge above a Lynel, shoot him, let him shoot back, and see how many arrows leave his bow. If it's five, kill him and take the bow. If it's three, reload and provoke him again. Eventually, it'll be a fiver.
