It feels like you come across stuff very frequently when wandering around in this. It seems like I rarely go 5-10 minutes without coming across a cave or sky rock (more often the former than the latter). Sky stuff also never gets old and makes traveling around very easy. I was trying to make my way to one of the towers and, on the way, came across a sky rock. It doesn't seem to actually send me anywhere (I'm not sure if I got to it too late, or if it's only purpose was to send you up high), but it allowed me to easily glide to the sky tower (when previously I was having to navigate climbing a mountain with my single stamina wheel). Given its proximity to the tower, I wonder if its only purpose was to make getting to it easier (since the tower itself shot me up where I could access the stuff above the rock). I really need to find Hestu, because I'm having to toss out weapons that I'd rather keep pretty frequently, just due to finding better stuff. edit: I don't like those rock worm things, though. I think I'm dealing with them correctly - shoot a bomb arrow as soon as the boulder leaves their mouth, which (usually?) makes them expose their core thing, and shooting that then gives you a bit where you can run up and hit them in melee. But I've died a few times just due to the explosion radius on the bomb arrows being so large that I mistakenly kill myself. I'm not so flush on bomb arrows that I feel comfortable using them unless absolutely necessary, and I'm not sure if the resources the rock worm gave were worth the expense of 2+ bomb arrows. On the upside I'm assuming/hoping they don't respawn, since they gave me a chest when killed. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 08:09 on May 8, 2023 |

How do you make an axe. I can make the rock club thing but I think I've only used axes I've found.

It can be hard to spot the difference. Boss Bokoblin horns also make axe-type weapons. Ytlaya posted:It feels like you come across stuff very frequently when wandering around in this.

You really don't need to be spending bomb arrows on them, after they finish a cycle of throwing boulders they reveal their core anyways. Or you can time a recall to slam their rocks back into their faces to get it done quicker.

The quests to truck around the music troupe are so fun. I love that whole crew. I hope there are some longer haul quests, so far everything has been pretty short and I've also never got to haul any large cargo. I've done it myself once to haul a Korok and because I already had the tackle on, but I'd love to haul something or someone from one end of the map to another with a horse drawn vehicle. I wonder if the game just doesn't allow that kind of thing, tracking too much too far? Then again, gliders are the only thing I've seen despawn either after a set time or distance from launch. So maybe there are and I just haven't found em yet.

The first lurelin quest after you drive the pirates out involves like "hauling 20 logs", which explicitly appears to not be "bring me 20 bundles of sticks" from BotW, so you may well get your wish there

I've been meandering aimlessly, still only on 4 hearts, and have gotten to the oasis in the desert. The enemies are almost 1-shotting me, which makes me think maybe I should've gone somewhere else first. Also I just keep on encountering more and more side-quests, little environmental minigames with the koroks and the sign man, caves and poo poo to explore, just all sorts of crap. The game is so ridiculously huge it's a bit overwhelming.

The game easily has 6x the content of BOTW with caves, wells, sky islands, and the depths just bolted on top of what BOTW was. The side quests are so much better too imo. Oh and why not have 5ish extra types of progress collectables. I feel like a 100% clear is easily going to take me 200+ hours

This is probably a storyline spoiler so i'm going to spoiler text it. I was wandering around doing fortnite drops on stuff that looked interesting and noticed a storm cloud. It had about 1% visibility and i noticed you could make out other islands in the storm when the lightning flashed. Eventually i stumbled across the eye of the storm and there was a big door like the temple of time. After opening that i found a Zonai mask and it had one of those follow the green laser things. After putting the mask where it wanted to go an elevator took me down to the depths and now i'm doing the Spirit Temple which i didn't even know was a thing.

I'm moderately surprised you can Just Do That but I guess it's par for the course, there's been a couple instances of "getting the quest and immediately complete it because you went hog wild exploring previously" for both main and side quests that I've come across there's a main plot song and dance you do to dispel the stormcloud and find the island so I'll be curious if they even have you do that or just skip it outright

So regarding the save file bonuses, does anyone know how the game handles Normal Mode vs Master Mode saves from BoTW? Do you get to choose or what? Does it only check for completed saves? Because on the Switch version I did everything in Master Mode while my Normal Mode file is just an autosave with 3 hearts in the shrine of resurrection

Although i was thinking that it would be impossible if you had sight issues. Once i realised it was a main quest thing i assumed you would get a beacon or something to guide you through the islands to make it a bit easier.

I feel a lot more broke in this game than BOTW. I've only bought two armour pieces and upgraded some stuff at the fairies. Am i meant to be vendoring all these mob drops? I feel like if i do i'm going to regret it when they show up on the item upgrade shopping list.

Do the weapon quests in towns after you do the dungeons do anything special? The zora wanted 3 diamonds for his so if it's just going to break in 3 hits he can get hosed.

There's a sky island up around Rito Village that has two cisterns full of water, one being filled. They both have sluices, I rigged them to stick so that I could drain both but aside from a few fish flopping around there didn't seem to be anything else to do, but there's CLEARLY something I'm missing

I presume you need to get 100 Crystals for one of these, or is it a different currency? Either way the only source I have right now for Crystals is 10 or so however quickly they respawn in the skymine on the starting island. EDIT: serves me for only reading the last couple posts CJ posted:How much of the depths have you explored? Try looking round under the great plateau.

I just found them in random small caves in the Lanaryu region, so not exactly the sort of areas where I'd expect to find advanced versions of enemies. They fired boulders and when they opened their mouth there would be some rock covering their "core" (which would be removed/destroyed by shooting a boulder as it exited their mouth, but I think directly shooting it with a bomb just did some damage without exposing the core). Or do normal ones just always have their core visible?

Battery the Zonai device you glue to devices to extend battery life. The Zonai charges in inventory can be selected and used to recharge your personal battery meter. The big one gives you yellow battery on top of your meter. Honestly I would not waste the big ones on recharging. Save them for the gacha machines to get hella orbs
