The cutscene shows link hiding from the lynel and you start behind cover with some arrows safely in range.

If you follow the most obvious path to the villages and Zora’s Domain then you’ll find it within the first few hours of being off the plateau. I sure as poo poo wasn’t ready to “become a man”  and fight it then.

I didn’t fight it because I was more preoccupied about the sick rear end dive I was about to do from the top of the mountain.

My first Master Mode run is coming along well. Just started seeing gold mobs. I thought it would be rougher, but as long as you have a good supply of hearty food and some attack boosting stuff, you shouldn't have a problem. Mob fights aren't trivial, but so far that's just made me pick my battles. And no, I didn't get any of the cheapo DLC gear yet. Oh, and I finally got the Master Sword before doing any of the Divine Beasts, because I don't want to hear a single quest-giver give me that "Oh but if you're really the Champion, you'd have the Master Sword, right? Guess you're just some schlub hahaha". I totally gave up on the first stage of Master Mode Sword Trials, though. That's... gonna take some planning.

I didn't fight the lynel because I didn't want to waste any weapons my first run though. Second playthrough I murdered that dork with one of the many respawning awesome weapons I knew about.

Dictator. posted:i tried sneaking but he kept spotting me. died a bunch and other times i just jumped off the mountain to escape. I think this is what the devs intended to be the most likely situation, at least if you're doing it right after visiting Kakariko for the 1st time. You die a few times, try sneaking, fail (possibly die a couple more times), and end up just panickedly running from the Lynel while grabbing what arrows you can and then jump off the cliff to escape, conveniently landing where the divine elephant quest starts. That was certainly my version of the events. Zat fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Sep 13, 2018 |

I would rather wait for used carts to get cheap and rebuy the whole thing again years down the line for the Switch. Excellent game.

Turtlicious posted:has anyone tried a 2nd play through of this is it still good? Absolutely yes. After the starting area, you can go about it in so many different ways. Like I mentioned before, I'm doing Master Mode for the first time, so this time around I focused on getting the Master Sword first, which helps a lot whenever there's purple goo (also good for getting the Hylian Shield early), then started doing the Divine Beasts. You could also try the speedrun way and forego all the Divine Beasts, heading straight for the castle, or whatever!

Yeah I ended up buying it again for Switch because the left stick on my Wii U gamepad didn't respond on the left side, and I wasn't going to take a chance buying one of those 3-prong screwdrivers just to try fixing it, so Switch it is. Also nice in that it's much easier for my daughter and I to have separate save files. Mezzanine fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Sep 13, 2018 |

2nd playthroughs of BOTW are fun because you inevitably think "oh I should have done it this way the first time" like saving the yiga hideout for the endgame and getting revalis gale first and you can streamline your play much more, since you obviously lose a bit of the "holy poo poo exploration" aspect once you've already explored the world

My favorite playthrough was the one where I played it to unlock the memories in chronological order, and broke down the game into regions surrounding each one (so I would only open the map, do shrines/koroks, etc. if it was that memory's "turn"). Sucked to get the Master Sword after everything else, but it was also great to force me to do better with item management, etc. I did go to regions early for a few things (armor, materials), but overall that''s what I stuck to.

For games like a BOTW a 2nd playthrough is more of a victory lap where you know where everything is and how to get everything good so while you don’t get the awe and wonder of exploration you get the joy of making the land yours and just have fun with the knowledge the 1st playthrough gives you. It’s a different but equality satisfying experience, imo.

Do some areas have tougher enemies than others? I'm about halfway through the game (I have 15 hearts, the master sword, 2 divide beasts, and fully explored about half the map) and exploring the badlands north of death mountain. However, every enemy camp has like 2 white bokoblins or black moblins and I've run into 2 white lynels. I can take them out, but it takes a decent amount of trouble/resources to do it. It's just kind of a slog to deal with them at this point, and I can't imagine the enemies getting even worse as I progress since I'm basically at the highest tier of weapons.

If I recall correctly, the game has a hidden "progress" value that determines how tough random stuff you find in the wild is. Completing shrines, killing monsters, doing side quests, etc will increase that number. Doing a divine beast just adds a WHOLE BUNCH to that value all at once. So cranking through a couple beasts will instantly upgrade enemies out in the wild by a tier or two, but you could eventually grind your way up to that difficultly just by clearing out enemy encampments and exploring.

Some spawns are just stronger than other at base, too. Like enemies in the castle will always be black variations, and other areas start at blue even if you rush there from the beginning.

Yeah, and Master Mode bumps everything up a rank. What's funny is that they had to make fixed spawns of the lowest rank, one or two of each mob, just so that you can take pictures of them. So there's literally one lonely red bokoblin somewhere that you have go on a trek to find in order to get your Hyrule Compendium up to 100%

Can I get some pro-tips, like things along the lines of dragon horn recipes? I picked this up for Switch after rushing through a first playthrough on my friend's Wii U, and I'm now taking my time and doing things like Tarrey Town, but just want to be spoiled on some more nuanced stuff.

Protips on recipes? Basic gist is that ingredients with effects add a certain strength values, and the different levels of buffs need to have certain total values. For example: 1-4 points in ATKUP gets you a Lv 1 ATK boost 5-6 points in ATKUP gets you a Lv 2 ATK boost 7+ points in ATKUP gets you a Lv 3 ATK boost Mighty Thistle only gives 1 point, so 5 together will only ever give you a Lv 2 ATK boost food. Mighty Banana gives you 2 points, so 4 together will give you a Lv 3 ATK boost. Adding a 5th one will increase the buff length, but not the level. Mighty Porgy gives you 3 points, so an efficient dish would be 2 porgies, 1 thistle, then filler (non-buff fruits, salt, whatever) to increase the buff length. There's a big chart with all the values somewhere, I'll look for it

Seems like kinda a waste to use dragon parts on cooking unless you’re doing some low gear/heart challenge run to the castle.

Late game you're probably swimming in materials, so having your serious buffs be for 30 minutes is a nice-to-have, I guess. I never really do it, though, because farming the dragon parts is one of the most tedious things.
