So I finished the Sand sea and got the second fire and that upgraded my weapon to... dowse additional objects? Since when would I need to dowse additional objects? I've only ever had the main quest item and the "oh poo poo this thing fell down" targets to dowse at any one time. Am I supposed to be able to pick a target item to be able to dowse it?

Twelve by Pies posted:I am kind of curious what the shortest glitchless Any % is for BotW, since I know the normal Any % uses a lot of blowing yourself up while you're on your shield and flying through the air. If you're curious, the speedrun leaderboard has a category for limited bugs which has subcategories for each of the major categories, although some exploits are still allowed, so you should see the rules to see if it limits what.

The gist of it is, lower percents are considered higher on the leaderboard regardless of how much longer it takes to complete. There's an animation glitch that causes Link to clip through walls if he stares at rupees obtained from treasure chests for long enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2nRW3wKnVY

There's always an overworld section before each dungeon, but the desert ones are wayyyy more engaging than the first forest one.

The Yunobo stealth section is optional in that you can just destroy all the guardians instead of sneaking around. Technically you can fight your way out of the Yiga clan stealth section, too, although that's considerably harder.

Spanish Manlove posted:I'm finding kikwis now and woooo boy it's a slog The first dungeon is shortly after that and it’s decent. Eldin Volcano is cool because of the mogma characters, plus the dungeon is actually pretty good. I agree with the earlier poster who said to play through to the desert because if that area/dungeon don’t engage you, there’s not really a point to continuing. I just completed that dungeon and it and the boss are both really great. Not the best boss in the game but still pretty interesting and fun. The sequence & cutscene afterwards are also really awesome.

I think the thing I'm most tired of already is having to babystep Link forward on ropes while he flails around like an idiot. It makes me laugh, but it's really annoying on the gameplay end. Especially after just coming off of Ghost of Tsushima where you're just constantly running around on ropes with the ease of a ninja acrobat.

The Pirate's Fortress can be completely negated with the Stone Mask if you get it ahead of time.

I played SS for around 2 hours tonight (getting to the ground and opening the first door before I saved and called it a night) and boy the motion controls are really difficult to get used to. I seem to have to constantly recenter them. Slashes don't track and doing a skyward slash has me literally sticking my arm up and back a lot of times. I'm going to give the pro controller a try tomorrow but this is so far not fun, which sucks because I'm liking the story a lot so far. edit: controlling the loving bird at that first challenge was bullshit.

The pointer being off-center shouldn’t affect how it tracks your sword swings. You might be doing too large of movements. Our instinct is to move our arm one way and do a large swing in the other direction, when the game wants you to do smaller movements. You can swing your sword in any direction no matter where it is pointing (something you need to get decent at to beat the first boss). I agree about the bird, that first race sucks but you get used to it eventually.

The problem with the bird controls is it does not explain you need to flap repeatedly to get going properly.

https://kotaku.com/botw-fan-finishes-game-without-stepping-in-the-same-pla-1847321231 Somebody beat BOTW without crossing over their same path, like the snake computer game. Took him six months and several restarts to do it. Lots of waiting for rain to go away and other nuisances. Hyrule castle was a nightmare because while inside you can’t reference the hero path, it only fills in when you exit the castle. Hero’s path also does not care for elevation either.

You should be able to knock Cawlin off his bird towards the surface for throwing eggs at you. The tall big dude is okay.

Yeah it definitely should emphasize the flapping more. You flap to gain height then dive to gain speed, rinse and repeat. You can kill Octoroks by ramming into them but honestly why would you bother?

It shouldn't be that weird to not know you have to flap when the game literally tries to hold your hand in every other regard imo. In SS fashion an npc should be taking 5 mins explaining how to flap.

When it’s showing you the flying controls, it does show an image of moving the Joycon up and down to flap or ascend or something, I can’t remember what word it uses. It just doesn’t mention it in the text. But it’s there!

It says flap to ascend, yes, but then in practice that's not what the loftwing seems like it's missing when you're loving up. "I don't want to ascend, I want to go faster at this altitude!" In hindsight the basic principles of flight would dictate that I should try ascending, but I was taking the game's word for it that it would just make me go up. So the bird slowed to a crawl and dropped out of the sky. Seems like a totally reasonable thing to miss.

It was incredibly disheartening when my bird sank into the clouds and I couldn’t figure out how to get it back up. I legit thought that might be the dealbreaker that made me give up for a second before thinking “no, there HAS to be something I’m missing/the game isn’t telling me”
