There wouldn’t happen to be a Zora Hood that goes with the rest of the Zora Armor to complete the set, would there? I wanna grab that before I leave for my next stop.Bruceski posted:Hey, you remembered Cryonis could lift the gate to the map pedestal, that puts you ahead of probably half the folks who play this game.

There is, but it's a bit of a puzzle to figure out. Read the stone tablet in the back of the Zora sleeping quarters and try to fill in the gaps.

I'm amazed that this still isn't patched out. The Guardians around the Hyrule Castle Town Ruins are particularly vulnerable to this. Just stasis them from afar and you can cheese your way to the castle gate.

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:I mean, this is a good game, and I like it so far, it’s just... not Zelda. I will definitely agree that it doesn't feel like any Zelda game that came after Link to the Past though... Except maybe Link Between Worlds, that had a glimmer of BotWs disdain for linearity.

I agree that BotW feels like my first experience Ocarina of Time when I was somewhere around 13 years old. That game felts as big and as open as BotW does now because there was nothing else remotely like it at the time. Of course, in retrospect, OoT is tiny compared to modern games and it hasn't aged particularly well, IMO, but to my younger self it was enormous. BotW took some Zelda conventions and wrapped them into physics sandbox with superb design decisions. There will be a host of other games that come after that will be grander, with more QoL improvements and more plot/story but BotW is likely going to age really well because so much is player-driven. My second playthrough was nothing like my first and even though I know most of where to go and what to do, I've still only physically encountered perhaps 30% of the map. There's still a ton to see and explore.

I'm on my first runthrough and at the moment, I can't really imagine finishing and starting over from scratch. Of course, I mainly play it on my train commute to/from the office, so the slow-going might be the difference there.

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:That actually took me a few minutes to remember but yeah. Good work. Half the times you will get stuck in the game, the answer can be solved by thinking about each of your rules and how you might apply them to the problem. edit: For the record, i had totally forgotten cryonis by the time I got to vah ruta, so I brute forced it by stasis'ing the gate, and spin attacaking it with a sledgehammer to make it fly up into the wall. Took a few tries, but it worked

I mean, you can't do the Divine Breasts over again or the obliterator trials or anything, so I certainly see value in restarting. Also just trying things in different ways/ different order. I haven't restarted yet, though, and when I do it will be with a new user account. I'm certainly not going to get all the seeds twice! Leaving that autocorrect where it is.

Yeah when I started over I did Rito village before any other divine beasts for obvious reasons. I guess there’s stuff like that. I also didn’t think of the divine beasts because they’re one of the last things I’d want to go back to

I am slowly resigning myself to the fact that I will be asking more questions in this thread than I initially expected. Like, a lot more. So in the Ceremonial Song shrine quest, what bridge did the Zora drop the fake trident off of? He didn’t specify when I talked to him. Also which divine beast is best to head to after Vah Ruta? The one near the Ritos, right? In the northwest? EDIT: gently caress it, might as well ask this too as long as I’m in here pissing everyone off. Is there a great fairy in Lanayru Province? I. M.

Nothing is best. Do. What. You. Want. There are tradeoffs for everything. If your goal is merely to find useful powers, I find the Ruto one to be best and Goron to be worst, but that is far from a universal opinion.

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:I am slowly resigning myself to the fact that I will be asking more questions in this thread than I initially expected. Like, a lot more. Yeah, seriously, pretty much the entire point of this game is "wander round and find out". Talk to people, climb high things, tune your sensor to treasure chests or rare ore... Trident: you can see metal things underwater with Magnesis Beast: yeah, Vah Medoh has probably the most useful Divine Power, and while all the other 3 beasts have variously hostile environments round them the cold is the easiest to deal with. And people in towns/stables will tell you about nearby fairies.

In response to your first question, remember that the trident is made of metal. And please, stop asking things and go explore. You can warp from shrine to shrine so backtracking takes 5 minutes at the most.

One more question. Whereabouts is Akkala? I thought I saw it on the map near Zora’s Domain, but I’m not seeing it anymore. I’m trying to find that Robbie guy.

It's worse to sit idly by than to try and help them not make a mistake. If he's only got a week to live or something I'll apologize and tell him everything, but otherwise he'll probably be sorry later when there's nothing left to figure out and the experience is over prematurely.

I thought that's what you're supposed to do? The way I thought a bunch of people actually cheesed it was by tossing a bunch of OP weapons onto the shore before jumping off so they'd be there when the trial started. Your way seems like the only non-stealth way to get it done because the weapons aren't exactly great on the island

I just kinda assumed that as soon as you set foot on the island it would reset to a certain state, with the usual weapons and items around.

I could've done that too, but I wish to be legitimate about it next time. That means stealing the orb from the Hinox's necklace and hauling rear end to the final pedestal.
