GATOS Y VATOS posted:Hynox may not throw other monsters, but they will knock the poo poo out of Guardians New dream feature for BotW 2: the ability for Link to ride a Guardian at some point. Maybe Zelda can use magic to turn one on and make it friendly? I just want to circle strafe a Hinox while riding a Guardian and blow it up with lasers.

I like where your head is at, but I've got it firmly cemented in my mind, at least, that guardians were specifically programmed to feel only hatred for all living things. A friendly one just doesn't gel with me. Entirely within my head? Perhaps, but nobody can convince me that those things don't live expressly for murder and nothing else.

I mean they were created and programmed to fight Ganon. He just got to them and ~corrupted~ them before his big reveal. And we have multiple friendly guardians! Like Robbie's oven that his wife is insanely jealous of. Also all the uncorrupted ones in the Shiekah Shrines who solely exist to help Link.

I killed a lynel for the first time today. Up yours lynel! I know you can mount them and damage them without damaging your weapon. How does one go about that

was any body else disappointed that there was no interaction with the goron blacksmith to upgrade the master sword? you get that one-off quest from his apprentice to kill the fire talus and it felt like that was going to lead into something but nope, the kid just says "thanks but now i'm too nervous to tell my master since you killed it" and then that's it. was really hoping for a LttP-style orange master sword or something. i guess along the same lines, there was no fairy fountain upgrade for the sword either.

What's y'all's favorite go-to weapon? I will go search out Lizzal Tri-Boomerangs whenever I can. They do a good amount of damage, are fast to attack, one handed, and the boomerang ability on them is just the cherry on top.

Ever since the Master Sword became a big thing in OoT you've never been able to upgrade it really. Visually at least, I know WW has you unlock its power or whatever and Skyward Sword has the super Skyward Strike thing. And you do get to do the spiritual/mechanical upgrade in the trials of the Master Sword dlc.

I've also managed to get out of their way during a charge, and run up and sit on them when they're momentarily stunned.

I shot one with some bomb arrows while floating in an updraft from its fireballs but I also caught on fire when I landed so I couldn’t take advantage. Deeply satisfying to drop one of them finally. I just wish I could parry worth a poo poo because bludgeoning lynels and guardians to death, while satisfying, takes forever. Even with the master sword and chopping off their legs!

I like to do jumping attacks with the 2H weapons because usually it knocks over whatever you hit and you can just whale on them afterwards. Honestly my favorite weapons in the game are spears and the wiz robe element staffs, it’s very satisfying to blast dudes with them

My primary use case for the two-handers is the spin attack. A nice 52-damage Royal Claymore starting between the legs will often let me kill a Hinox before the health bar pops up. My typical method of taking out guardian stalkers is an arrow to the eye, and follow up with a spin attack to take off the legs for extra ancient parts. Also, you can swap out weapons at almost any time, so I'll often swap in my best two hander once I get a Flurry Rush or a Mount going when fighting Lynels.

Freaking Crumbum posted:what determines the damage of weapons increasing over time? % of shrines completed? time in game? number of major plot quests cleared? There's an invisible counter that goes up as you kill enemies with a big spike when you do any of the Blights in the Divine Beasts. As you hit certain thresholds most enemies/weapons start spawning as higher level variants. Some are set and unchanging from the beginning though.

Also, there's diminishing returns to killing lots of the same type of enemy. Killing hundreds of red/blue bokoblins won't boost the meter, finding a new variant of a monster and killing a handful of it will make it go shooting up.

Blaziken386 posted:okay, lemme put this in simpler words for you. You can surf down the mountain all you want. It's there, and if that's your bag, you can go for it, all on your own drat volition. All right serious answer time. Here we go! My experience with this mini-game was clearly different from yours. I stumbled upon it after exploring in the mountains a lot. First, I came to the cabin in the base camp, with the diary from people who had stopped there before proceeding up the summit path. A couple of the entries talk about a champion shield surfer who lives up the mountain. Oh that sounds neat! I should go find her. So up the summit path I went. I thought it was neat how there were stashes of things in the cairns, left by other people on their climb. Nice little touch. The climb took me ages, because I got lost a bunch. I found some Shrines, found some Bokoblins riding bear-back. Is in they were riding bears. It was awesome. Then I finally made it to the cabin! Shield surfing lady has some fun dialog depending on what shield you're wearing when you talk to her, which I thought was neat. Then I went fukkin' shield surfing, and the course took me by a Shrine I hadn't found yet! All in all, it was an adventure! It's an adventure, ya know? I didn't keep track of the shiny bits I did or did not get. It was just... a fun journey.

I asked way back when and it also effects the amiibo drops. Starting a new game and using all the zelda amiibos you'll get pretty low level stuff across the board. After killing the first divine beast the drop rates change significantly and you start'll seeing the amiibo only weapons from time to time.
