Twelve by Pies posted:Having ten hearts, I did go back to Eventide and thanks to understanding cooking better, Mipha's Grace and Daruk's Protection, as well as the tip about Rock Octorocks and rusty equipment (except shields, that fucker shot it like a million miles away, I couldn't find it), I was able to handle it easily this time around. Then I tried the Trial of the Sword and accidentally blew myself up halfway through the beginner levels. I probably need to come back with a max hearts, because losing all your progress if you make a mistake sucks. Another tip: cooking a meal including a dragon horn chunk makes the effect last for 30 mins. A ton of yellow hearts and a 30 min x3 defense boost make the sword trials a lot more survivable. Also make sure you have your detector set to chests in there.

My mind puts skulls in all the quest related locations that intersect with lynels (this is actually a pretty small number) and just remembers to hold gallops until they have a visual and then make tracks

Okay that looks extremely detailed but if you'd like one a little less detailed but much more user friendly: https://www.zeldadungeon.net/breath-of-the-wild-interactive-map/ It has clickable icons for each shrine that will take you to a relevant wiki page. Also you can click things to check them off as completed as you have done them.

So help me, this thread has convinced me to give BotW another try, focusing on not avoiding combat and not being an obsessive weapons hoarder. I dunno if I'll make it through the entire story progression, but I'm gonna give it some more time at least

Even if I have a bunch of yellow hearts I'll probably wait until I have a few more heart containers under my belt. Finally got a full set of Ancient armor, I wish the game explained things better because I had to use google to find out what Ancient Proficiency does. It's too bad Ancient Cores are so rare, I want that chainsaw sword but I need two more cores for it.

Early game is interesting, going back into it. Some of it is very well designed (I like the intro shrines, they do a good job at introducing you to exploring different terrain and guiding you through your early puzzle powers), and some is aggravating just because it's basic stuff that is missable if you run off in the wrong direction. This time, I just randomly stumbled into the bandit camp and got Hestu's Maracas, then immediately met Hestu himself and got told to go find Korok seeds if I wanted to carry more stuff. My first playthrough, I totally missed that and spent most of my playthrough wondering what the seeds were for before I finally got around to googling whether inventory upgrades were even a thing. Also, the shrine near Kakariko village that tutors you in some more advanced fighting techniques is super useful, but it's weird to put that somewhere that you might not always run into - I forgot where it was and didn't stumble onto it til I wandered by later on my way to cashing in some seeds.

I mean... if you aren't getting the shrine at kakariko for fast travel purposes what the heck are you doing And if you aren't going to kakariko first on your playthrough, at that point you're already accepting that you're not going by the "conventional" route and will probably run into things out of "order" I do think it was a bad idea to place Hestu only exactly on the road to kakariko, however. They already have numerous points in the game where he can show up on his way to the forest, and they really should've let you meet him at any of those spots. His service is too invaluable, and it's the only thing that makes half of the games' collectibles make sense. Amppelix fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Jan 5, 2020 |

Amppelix posted:I mean... if you aren't getting the shrine at kakariko for fast travel purposes what the heck are you doing Oh sure, I knew about it from finding it early in my first playthrough. It's not a huge problem or anything, I was just surprised to find that it's apparently possible to make it all the way through the Kakariko plot dump and move along to do other stuff without ever seeing it, even generally remembering that there was one somewhere near the village.

My first Playthrough, I accidentally got off the path Rhoam told me to go, and was chased north. Wound up stumbling over mountains, ran into a Guardian, and found Kakariko from the western entrance instead of the East, missing Hetsu entirely. Didn't find him the first time until I finally decided to look things up. I /might/ have gotten to Hateno and back before I found him.

My brother doesn't have a Switch so I let him make an account on mine so he could play BotW. He played it for about ten hours, and I can confirm he never found the shrine at Kakariko, because he was on his way to Hateno and I told him to flurry rush something and he had no idea what that was, I told him the shrine at Kakariko should've taught him and his answer was "What shrine?" The shrine also comes pretty "far" into the game for teaching you basic combat moves, it probably would have been better off being on the plateau and one of the requirements to get the paraglider.

I can quite easily see people ignoring the shrines after the initial ones. A lot of people prefer to beeline a main quest and not waste time on optional content in open worlds. Of course when they realise they need hearts, stamina and fast travel points they'll start doing shrines again, but not necessarily the Kakariko one.

I actually looked up the control descriptions in the menu after manuals were mentioned, it does list the basic jumps and parry, but doesn't mention that you can trigger special actions by timing them just right. I think I've only triggered it once since I generally spend a lot more time blocking than dodging (although I just realized you can swap the jump button to B, which seems like it'll feel a lot more natural to use).

Is everyone else just making straight lines through the map climbing over literally anything in their way or what? I've been playing for three days now and I'm definitely up to five or six times where I just give up on something or stand around because of rain. And not so much I WANT TO GO IN THIS DIRECTION  as specific quests or goals that I need to climb for or spend ten minutes wandering around hoping I find a walkable slope.

You probably already know this and will roll your eyes at me for saying it, but I'm gonna say it anyway: Remember you can build a fire in the shade and rest until the rain stops. This isn't always possible but it usually is.
