He doesn't aggro a guardian, the red line is from the hits the tree gets while in stasis.

my bad, it looked like a guardian laser but I didn't pay attention to the part before it. Indeed just stasis+hitting a bunch of times, but still a cool move.

Fun bug: it seems you can't get the Medals of Honor for killing Hinoxes and Taluses in Master Mode. 21 of the Hinoxes that weren't already black are promoted and no longer set the correct flags in Kilton's list. Same thing happens with Taluses, where almost all the regular Talus are now Luminous and I think the Luminous ones are now Rare.

Ok thanks for the heads up because I was seriously considering taking a long break from the game after the lakebed temple, but I will power through. I just got the Master Sword so hopefully things will pick up now, because christ it feels like this game is slow as all hell.

You're definitely in the fun part now.

I'm in the third (final) section of the trail of the sword. I found 3 ancient arrows in a chest so far. There was a chest underwater that I missed because apparently it was sitting on a big magnetic cube and I accidentally locked onto the cube instead of the chest with my magnesis. Does that chest have ancient arrows in it? Did I gently caress myself?

I believe there's a chest with ancient arrows in a rest area, one under lava, and one frozen in a block of ice.

There are 9 arrows total.

One chest is in lava on the level with a bunch of moblins in the fort, one in a block of ice you get by just holding the flame spear near it, and one i forget.

You probably want to save 4 or so for the last few levels when you have to fight Stalkers, Flyers, and Lynels concurrently. I ended up finishing with a bunch of extras by being too stingy with them when they would've been helpful in a few tight spots against silver moblins or against the broken guardians when messing up positioning. Do not use it on the solo Lynel as you could really use his bow!

Counterpoint: use one on the solo lynel because there's nothing scary after him that you can't solve with ancient arrows, and for that you don't need his bow.

Yea it drags in the beginning but gets fun once you can fast-travel & such. I hope Dr. House is playing the HD remake because good lord the first part of the game in the original was even more tedious.

As mentioned, no. Cooking 40 separate hard food meals is tedious.

I never tried mixing wood with a fairy though.

I did scare away one of the fairies in the rest area like an idiot, though.



That said, in the final section I ended up not needing my fairies and only one of my full heal foods.

I remember finding the tears or whatever being way more of a chore than it was in the HD remake.

e: but I suppose I shouldn't complain about tedium anymore now that I'm boiling trees piece by piece in the BotW trials for quarter-hearts, lol

You had to get less Tears of Light in the HD version, though it's only a difference of like 3 less per area.

Pretty sure they do. Not all of them, but alot of the scouts are the higher rank ones with more HP and weapons then what is otherwise in there, from memory.

Test of strength enemies don't though.

Well that explains why some rank 2 scouts took about three bars worth of stamina to kill with phantom armor + a royal claymore :shepicide:

I've gotten very good at the very boring process of chipping the rank 2 scouts to death with their own eyebeams.

e: In hindsight I should probably go get the ancient armor set bonus just so the ancient weapons I'm hitting them with actually...do a thing?

I LOVE SEEING DEAD BABIES ON 𝕏, THE EVERYTHING APP. IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE FOLLOWING TAB.
Playing on the gamepad and some of the motion control puzzles, which would take two seconds with a joystick, require me to twist my neck until I'm facing the roof just so I can see what's happening on screen.

This is worse than the wrist pain swimming gave me in Skyward Sword.

I hate motion controls.

I'm late to the party and just got this game a week or so ago. Just finished the 4th divine beast, and it's been fun, but at times frustrating. What's the durability like on the ancient weapons from Robbie? I'm hesitant to spend thousands of rupees on poo poo that's going to break after one battle like all the other poo poo I find.

The Ancient Shield is the second best shield in the game. Reflects guardian beams for days, definitely worth the investment.

The Ancient Bow is also worth the purchase price. It's long range like the Falcon Bow, great for the horse archery challenge or just shooting foes from a long way away with Ancient Arrows. Speaking of...

Ancient Arrows. You want these. You want lots of these.

I wouldn't bother with the weapons, personally, because you can easily get more of the standard Guardian weapons by beating the Major Tests of Strength after a Blood Moon. (They respawn, in case you didn't know- good for aforementioned weapons and Ancient Cores.)

That is good to know. I still haven't done any of the major tests of strength yet. It's on my to-do list, along with figuring out how to kill the Lynels.
