How the gently caress does the downward stab work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds4RobxTA_g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKxPIgjweBY

To do the downward stab you need to press the attack button (y?) while you are using the glider. You can't put the glider away and then press the button since that puts you into a jump attack. Also I think the downward stab works for all weapons but I might be wrong about that, I don't remember using it with weapons other than spears. Also If you guys are going to get gear then you will need to sell your ore. At this point in the game it is just used to sell for rupees and it is not difficult to get more ore. Also you shouldn't use bombs to get ore. Bombs have a lot of uses but getting in ore is not one of their better ones.

Hitting that thing to activate the shrine is just incredibly finicky. Either trident can do it and it can be done with a standing jump like you tried at the very start. There's just a "sweet spot" you need to hit for it to register.

You just needed to press the button while holding on to the gilder rather then letting go. Also use the right spear. You actually did it right once just with the wrong spear. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 07:29 on May 20, 2017 |

Hint: not all weapons impart the same amount of kinetic energy per strike on a stasised object. More help under spoiler. Hammer is a big whack. 5 big whacks too short, six big whacks too long, so...?

Hoooookay. As explained in other threads, I wound up being gone for the weekend and spent the latter half of the week scrambling to get videos up and exporting and everything before leaving early Friday afternoon (for which I wound up being late anyway, good times), and updating here wound up being difficult under the mad rush. Parts 51-54 are included before the video itself below and involve us collectively sucking a giant dick at solving the Mirro Shaz Shrine for like an hour and a half, but we're back on track with Part 55 today, seeking out another Locked Memento: Part 51: "Their Dumbass gently caress Circles" Part 52: "Switches and Balls, Oh My!" Part 53: "Balls Indeed" Part 54: "I Saw What You Did to the Wolf" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx9LCcl1pus So as it stands, now we're caught up to where we wanted to be last Friday, so this week's videos will wind up being Thursday, Friday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, to be followed by Part 61 on Monday, June 5 as originally planned. Catching up is great (and super not exhausting, for cereal). ricdesi fucked around with this message at 19:22 on May 31, 2017 |

Caution is still probably good when there might be guardians over the next rise. Also I love that the in-game map is good enough you can pick out most of the photos on it.

It's also a really elegant way to herd players in the right direction in the open world. Personally I tried to go for the central tower as soon as I got off the plateau and promptly got my poo poo wrecked by a Guardian. After that I decided to do what the game wanted me to do.

Or you can do what I did and use all your weapons to break one of them if you notice something about the terrain. One of them sits on an angle so you can just smack it until it breaks from there while it flips its poo poo and starts vomiting lasers over your head

Personally I tried to go for the central tower as soon as I got off the plateau and promptly got my poo poo wrecked by a Guardian. After that I decided to do what the game wanted me to do. THIS. One of the few lame-ish aspects to Ocarina of Time and one of my BIGGEST gripes about Twilight Princess is that Hyrule Field is practically empty. Sure, there are a few secret holes to fall into, but other than that Hyrule Field has historically felt sorta pointless beyond being a hub for each of the "zones". HERE though, it's basically DEFCON 1 any time we approach it. It's crawling with Guardians, death awaits at a single footstep into the region, it's fantastic. Excellent improvement. Glazius posted:Hyrule Castle is a pretty popular end boss location. This one's just a little leakier than usual. There's definitely a bit of a tonal shift here -- while Hyrule Castle is a very popular end location (off the top of my head: A Link to the Past sort of, Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, A Link Between Worlds), the vast majority of the time it acts as a "seal" for the final boss, or is otherwise just a vague, looming threat that deep within lies the final boss. Here though, it comes off almost like the focal point of a disease. Calamity Ganon is a blight on Breath of the Wild's iteration of Hyrule, and its effects are not just far-reaching, by way of crimson storm clouds visible from every corner of the kingdom, but also increasingly palpable as you approach the castle. It's far less unassuming than in previous iterations, and I love it. snograt posted:Personal request: next time you talk to Hestu, try taking all your armour off first DULY NOTED!

Better prepared for this weekend's rush (a wedding taking over about four days), so Part 63 will land on Friday, with Parts 64-65 coming over the weekend and finally righting the ship for Part 66 on Monday. tl;dr: blah blah 2 extra episodes this weekend

As someone who mostly watches your vids when they turn up as my recommended youtube vids but sometimes catch them in the thread, would you mind putting the actual name and number of the episodes instead of just your YT URLs when you update them on SA?

Absolutely! I'll do that going forward and as time allows I'll go back and retroactively add it to earlier posts too.

You sound like you're having fun, which is a nice contrast to X7. I like how... whimsically serious the Koroks are, I guess?

I think you've still got a sunshroom in your compendium from when you were interacting with Symin way back when. The Compendium actually tells you rough geographic regions of stuff in the wild. Though it seems like you've found a pretty good source. The Goron design in this game is an interesting departure even though it's so small. They've never had whites in their eyes before, have they?

Those scales (episode 69) can be brought down by just sliding one of the big metal blocks down against the side. At least, I'm pretty certain that's what I did. If not, you can always magnesis any handy swords you may have discarded and pull them down that way. I don't think there's ever a need to exit and re-enter a shrine. Oh, and I'm pretty sure you can just knock down that chest with a big magnesis'ed block, rather than playing with the other set of scales. This game is so malleable!

Please, Mondo responsibly. I do mean that, actually. It'd be fun to see you pull the big guy out for whatever road riding you have a mind to do. Roads are important to civilization because people and goods move along them! An important thing to keep in mind re: Puerto Rico is that most of the parties against statehood decided to make a statement about the futility of asking the US to please be a state, or possibly claim credit for the constituency of the Can't Be Arsed Party, by asking all their supporters to just stay home. Turnout didn't even hit a fourth of the population all told, so keep that in mind. I do appreciate the many opportunities this game offers for tactical pants deployment. And that the temperature readout on the Sheikah Slate map screen is just erroring out in Goron City. Silly ancient engineers not considering the need for a four-digit temperature display. Lindsey might want to consider one of those Phrenic bows? Bows do have a different firing arc in this game depending on type, and you can likely scare some up hunting around Kakariko Village. ...though in the volcano it'd probably just catch fire. Also when you're taking pictures, take pictures of ore deposits! There is more than one kind of them. Glazius fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Jun 20, 2017 |

They've gotten to death mountain. As long as their willing to spend some time climbing and breaking ore deposits and can understand that the main purpose of gems is to be sold for money, then they shouldn't have anymore money trouble. Obviously this doesn't have to be done on video. Also, before you guys try to buy the flamebreaker helmet from the shop, you should go back to the south mine. The reward for the get 10 fire proof lizards quest is a piece of the flamebreaker set of armor. I can't remember what piece it is, so it might be one that you've already gotten but even if it is you can just sell it.

From 23:40 in the last video (72) you're not imagining things. For some reason ragdolling moblins in this part of Death Mountain stutters the game on both WiiU and Switch. Happens in a few other places on WiiU, just often enough to say "oh this again", no clue if Switch does those as well.

I'm gonna try to get on as I can, but the internet connection will be rough (all of the episodes are being uploaded and scheduled as we speak), worst case scenario I'll be back in by Friday at the latest to keep everybody up to date!

Well done on the bomb for that boss, it was the last thing I tried against him. I assumed it was a tennis match and kept trying to hit the fireball. Doesn't work. Edit: the cutscenes have shown the champions in full control of the divine beasts, they worked everything out before hand. The -blight Ganons snuck up on them when they were focusing on Calamity Ganon, ganked them and took over the beasts themselves. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Jun 26, 2017 |
