The ridge near Faron tower is loaded with durian and the southern beach is loaded with razor crabs. That's really all you need.

I think that may just be the eastern most one, as the one to the southwest just has temperature flowers and the one by kakariko has sneaky flowers.

In the southwest you need to go out to the ribs, not just right next to the thing with the safflinas. "Off to the side"

I cackled when I saw that stash of Bananas the Yiga Clan had in the rafters of their hideout. It was a total Donkey Kong Banana Hoard.

Which kind of reminds me about something I pondered while going about BotW. It's aspects of tons of other Nintendo games all rolled up into one thing.

DK: Bananas are awesome, and you can chuck barrels.

Ducks really aren't all that difficult when you're wearing the full stealth suit. There have been times when I've been collecting fish and I'll bump ducks while swimming before they realize I'm there.

TBH if you're not spending the majority of your time in the stealth suit you're playing the game a little bit wrong.

It's just nice to breeze past enemy encampments without worrying about accidentally triggering an aggro. Especially if you stumble on a Lynel or Hinox.

That banana hoard respawns on bloodmoons, and so do all the gems you can get in there, but not the in ground chests. you also cannot enter from the back end.

Believe it or not if you sneak around carefully & patiently to all the trees you can get all the required Shock arrows without fighting the Lynel.

Personally, I snuck around as much as I could, stole arrows, and warped out if he came for me. I think I then bought the rest that I needed, but it's been awhile, so I don't recall.

It's certainly possible to murder him though, and if you want to get the Blue and White-Maned lynel gear, you will eventually have to learn to kill them before the game advances them to Silver.

Yeah I tuned the Sheikah Sensor to Shock Arrows and got like 40 of the things from that peak, so I'm good. Think I might save and practice parries on the Lynel for a bit though.

I'm more wondering how you could output enough damage to do the deed, my top damage weapon is a 24 damage boomerang for god's sake.

Nevermind turns out some attack up food, some parries and some bowsmanship (omg you can mount them) is enough to do the deed after all. :woop:

The other thing is that you can literally swap weapons and armor at any time, and sneakstrikes, flurries, and mounted attacks do not wear down your weapons.

So if you have a weapon that does a lot of damage, and a set of armor that /increases/ that damage, and perhaps a Four Minute Murder Meal that stacks upon that damage, you can really ruin a Lynel's day fairly quickly, and you can swap back when you get thrown (or possibly pull off a few bowshots to the back of the Lynel's head while still in the air to stun him again.)

I'm still not /good/ at killing Lynels, but it makes things go quick. I regret waiting until after I'd completed the game before I seriously tried to kill my first one.

Flurries definitely wear down your weapons. To the point that your weapon can break part way through a flurry, ending it early.

I saw that the Sheikah and Dark Link sets both have "night speed up" as a set bonus, is the Dark Link set faster than the Sheikah one or are they about the same (trying to decide if i want to actually buy it or not)

So I'm really early in the game and feeling a bit overwhelmed with the openness of this game. I just got the quest for the 4 beasts and I know I'm vastly underprepared. Am I just suppose to wander around until I feel ready or is there someplace I'm suppose to go next?

Go wherever your heart tells you. There is no wrong direction. See a neat hill in the distance? Wonder what's in those ruined houses? Go and find out. The main story quests are just there as guidelines. Defeating Ganon is only thing you have to do to beat the game, and I had played over 110 hours before I decided to do so.

If you go to the other village Impa mentioned and then back to her you get a sidequest to gather memories from before the cyrosleep.

Otherwise I'd probably focus on getting to towers and stables (along the main road). That'll have you run across a ton of shrines and open a lot of warp points.

Dark link is faster by a little bit. But you can't upgrade it, meaning you're made of paper (and not quiet like the sheikah suit).

It's still loving awesome.

Have i missed any armour sets if i've got the stealth, zora, heat resistant, cold resistant, fire resistant, climbing, barbarian, lightning resistant and ancient sets? I'm missing the odd bit from some of those but I've got the barbarian fully upgraded now

I might go trash hyrule castle up a bit to get some ancient cores to finish off the ancient armour set since i've not been there yet and still have 2 divine beasts to do
