turn left hillary!! noo posted:There are also alternatives to cooking food. Even on the Plateau before you find any cold-weather clothing there is at least one other way to keep warm. One of the best things about this game is thinking and/or discovering ways around obstacles like that, so I won't specify. Enjoy! I found the torch but the torch controls are awful. If i do anything other than walk slowly with the torch, Link puts it away. Graze a climeable wall, bye torch.

If you find the old man at the top of one of the peaks near the shrine that's in the cold weather on the plateau, he will give you a warm doublet which will keep you warm.

I climbed Mount Hylia and got to the shrine with the torch. For some reason it took me a little longer to figure out cooking. But I made the connection that I needed fire to get through the area The shrine on the cliff was actually the last shrine I arrived at, and I went through the winter area again to get to it after I learned how to cook. I didn't think I could climb up to it, despite the obvious stepping stones to lead you up there. So I just went the long way. Didn't get the early warm doublet

Talking to him at the cabin, and reading the journal is what told me how to cook, I think. That said, setting the Peppers on fire by themselves also has a useful property. Welp, just finished killing all the Hinoxes. I know, you don't have to kill them all between Blood moons to trigger the reward, but decided to see how difficult that would be. Turns out, fairly trivial.

There's a square of small rocks near the Eldin Great Skeleton. Are they a Korok? I tried bringing over the other rock from the skull left eye with another Korok hiding under it, but putting it in the middle didn't do anything.

If you had put some points into stamina, there is a place to respec to change them to hearts, so technically I think you could respec to get the sword, then respec again to go back to having as much stamina as you had before. I haven't tried this though so I can't confirm it works, and I can't remember exactly where the respec statue is. edit: quote:At a point not too far into Breath of the Wild’s main quest, you’ll be sent to Hateno Village, a spot in eastern Hyrule, past the Dueling Peaks area. When you arrive in the village — particularly if you arrive during daytime — you may notice a small child playing near the gate marking the entrance to the village.

I was bomb fishing but eventually even that was too annoying so I just shoot electric arrows at the water now  e: also the other day I found out if you hit an ore with a regular arrow, the arrow will catch on fire.

Dimo ArKacho posted:Is there any way to cheese the heart limit for the master sword? I really just wanna get the drat thing, and I was sad when I found out I couldn't just boost for it. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend getting the Master Sword until you're close to the end anyway. When I got it, I felt like it broke the flow of using up weapons and nabbing replacements from the enemies. I also felt less incentivized to come up with fun ways to take out a camp, and I'm pretty sure it's also the reason I started leaving most of the weapons I found behind, because I was encouraged to just wait out the cooldown time on the sword rather than "press on and keep using all your weapons", which meant I just kept accumulating a pile of weapons I'll never use. (beast spoiler) Urbosa's Fury made that problem even worse. I do realize that I could opt not to use those things but at the same time it feels against the spirit of the game to not use everything at your disposal. Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Are you eventually able to repair your half-broken gear? And along those lines, I'd say not to worry about it. Eventually you'll be getting better weapons as fast if not faster than you can find them. In general this mechanic is there to get you to find creative solutions to taking out an enemy camp and to keep the loot you find relatively valuable, as opposed to Twilight Princess where every hidden chest was loving rupees. In this game you'll be very happy to find rupees.

The Master Sword isn't even that great unless you're fighting "corrupted" or whatever enemies, while it's glowing. 30 power ain't a high bar to clear. I find weapons with twice that much on the regular. Heck I've found weapons with even more power than even the powered up version of the Master Sword. I only used it to fight Guardians. Didn't even really use it on the dungeon bosses, either. I mostly used arrows on them. Now I suppose when the DLC drops and you can clear the Trial of the Sword and have the Master Sword in "powered up" state all the time, then the idea will have some merit. Even so I probably won't use it any more than I already do. Other weapons are just more interesting!

I believe, with some exceptions, that damage rating plays into how many times you have to hit something to harvest it. Also, considering weapon scaling, augments and hard mode, i expect difficulty to be high at start, sorta peter out after we get established off the plateau, and then ramp up once we are near the end with everything, just because expect 100dmg+ weapons all over the castle or on lynels.

It turns out Johnathon Blow is actually extremely bad at playing video games/Breath of the Wild. Like really bad. Then again if you go into a game after expecting/wanting to hate it for months then it's probably really easy to get your wish.

Ventana posted:"Hey, there sure is a whooole lot of nothing. Just like every open world game from 2005." Had to do a quick google to double check that Blow is the guy behind The Witness, a minimalist explorer/puzzle game. But wandering someone else's landscape and solving different puzzles is somehow a waste of time. Maybe BotW needs more Braid narration? "Link had feelings about Zelda. Feelings he couldn't quite express. Feelings he couldn't track on his Sheikah Slate. Sometimes when the sun went down, he wondered if his feelings were changing day by day too, and if they would someday come back as a blood moon... YAHAHA!"

Finally got around to finishing this over the weekend. All divine beasts done, got the master sword, ~70 shrines and ~35 korok seeds. Good game overall but I think it suffers from a lack of some kind of optional boss or something. There's nothing more threatening than Calamity Ganon who's already a cakewalk, so everything left to do seems like it's only in the game as completionist fodder. There are surely a lot of sidequests I didn't complete which have their own interesting stories, but the major thing is to go find 50 more nearly identical shrines and 870 seeds which won't give me anything all that useful. I could sail around hoping my shrine sensor goes off, but there's a good chance it's going to be another test of strength shrine which rewards me with a weapon worse than the stuff I'm already holding. I don't feel any drive to seek out the optional content I missed since it won't have any real use besides having another costume to look at or something like that. After seeing what they did, even the divine beasts feel like something I could have just skipped since taking half the health off the final boss is an underwhelming outcome for so much time invested and given how easy he is anyway. The actual dungeon aspect of them is repetitive and a handful of interesting shrines did a better job of giving me the traditional Zelda dungeon feel. The skills you get for completing them are useful, but the actual impact on the final boss is kind of boring. I was expecting some sort of fundamental change to the way the fight went, like they disabled a powerful attack he would otherwise use or something like that. There needs to be something that actually justifies the completionist urge. Some giant megaboss that hits for crazy damage and has a ton of health, so it's actually worth your time to build up a bunch of hearts, upgrade gear, and do all the other stuff.
