Shot a talon of one of the dragons and I was following it to the ground and it just so happened to fall into the depths. Wasn't able to grab it in the pit and it's light dimmed to almost nothing once it was down there. Managed to find it but only because I was able to see it through a gap in some trees, it bounced surprisingly far away from the pit entrance down there.

Does a Flux Construct I Core do anything fused to a shield? I get them too infrequently to wanna waste it, since it's good on swords, but curious! I love rocket shield by the way, that is too fun. Rocket on weapons on the other hand is ok, it's kinda funny how it doesn't do anything. But respectable 10 damage. Game rules by the way! 7 days and probably 45 hrs in, only now doing that Rito blizzard cloud quest thingy. This will keep us busy.

Steve Yun posted:They’re fun on sticks but I get the impression they don’t last long Right on. Does the Flux Construct core do anything on a shield though? I wonder if anybody's tried that. Talus hearts I tend to put on a shield, the glowing ones look cool. I don't know if they do anything other than being a rock, but they seem to last a long time. Do we know if fusing stuff onto shields raises their durability? And does say fusing two shields together do anything? One thing I've noticed is fusing a spear onto a sword base, the spear seems to break off after several hits. But fusing two swords together, the end never seems to break off. Another tidbit, the game keeps suggesting I put monster horns on a weapon. But I never do that, since I can hord those, but I can't hord all the weapons lying around. So I mainly only use horn weapons when they're stopped by enemies. Hordingrule. And I'm hording the hell out of my capsules. I'll use them in the last 4 hours of the game.

I've fused swords on shields a couple times and it always seemed not too impressive damage wise. But at least we have rocket shield. I love bouncy shields and weapons, that rules. Hitman 2 Silent Assassin eat your heart out, enemies going flying is always funny.

Stop this nonsense at once. They're an infinite resource and you should use them whenever seems fun or want to screw around. I have almost 99 of some of these things and even the most used ones I have more than plenty of. Pop Zonai charges into gumball machines and the things just flood out of the machine. 5 large ones in at once and so many come out that it gets back up into the machine a little bit. They're also not like something you get a bunch of use out by stockpiling. Can only fuse so many parts together and can only have so many things out at once.

Khanstant posted:Stop this nonsense at once. I'm open to being sold on it. But you can use monster parts in elixers or sell them for cash. Why use a horn for plus 8 damage or whatever when I have a zillion comparable weapons lying on the ground for parts? Maybe once in a while for variety, but enemies drop horn weapons too anyway. I'm saying it in a lighthearted way, but the game really doesn't give me a reason to spend my horns on a sword thus far. I do stuff for fun like a bouncy mushroom weapon etc from time to time though. And for sure I've been buying lots of capsules, but it's just funny that I may not use them for 100 hours. I figure why use them if I don't need to, and game DNA teaches us to keep our stuff since we don't know what's around the corner. Granted, it is a bit silly, but I guess not using these items much (yet) also adds a little bit of custom difficulty challenge or something. I'll try to treat myself to using one or two here and there. By the way, a grappling hook would be something. I could see that coming back into the mix at some point. Ascend and the tools here are a lot of fun and creative though. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 09:17 on May 19, 2023 |

Went to investigate that cave near Hestu's first location (seriously wtf placement, I hate it) and came across a murderpuddle. Since there was a ledge I climbed up and invested a lot of time, arrows, 4 bows, and some bombs into killing it, thinking there'd be a sick drop. Welp.

Would I be crazy for mostly dismissing the ghost things? I don’t like seeing them around all the time. Also, what is the big deal about the wind sage power? It seems much worse than Ravali’s gale in basically every way.

In between the Skyview Towers, sky islands, climbing improvements, rockets and hot-air balloons (plus probably a few more I’m forgetting), vertical air distance is a lot easier to gain than in BOTW. Horizontal air distance, on the other hand, is a lot harder to obtain without building some sort of contraption. That’s where the wind power comes in, it lets you move much further when gliding allowing you to reach the more distant sky islands with much less hassle.

If you really want to go full hoarder, there’s a Goron in Tarrey Town that will unfuse weapons and shields for you, giving you back the two items you used. It won’t restore durability to weapons, but monster parts don’t appear to have durability. So you can just keep fusing that one high-level drop you got early on to your best weapon over and over again, unfusing it whenever the weapon gets low on durability.

Ogmius815 posted:Would I be crazy for mostly dismissing the ghost things? I don’t like seeing them around all the time. Personally I'd recommend keeping out Tulin (see below) and one of either Riju or Yunobo to break rocks in caves. Revali's Gale was great for getting some height to start paragliding in BotW, but in comparison to the tools TotK gives you it's pretty sub-par and easily replicated with a rocket shield or Hylian pine cone in those situations it would have been best to use. Meanwhile, in TotK you can get way higher with the sky islands, towers, Recall or Zonai part shenanigans. Revali's Gale would honestly be a tiny, basically useless, contribution on top of those. The Wind power in TotK, however, gives you an easily underestimated, and repeatable, amount of horizontal movement which lets you get some impressive distance from that greater height. You're way more limited in how far you can get by your stamina now, rather than how high you can get. (Not taking into account Zonai contraptions. Factoring in those you're more limited by energy or the timer on wings, but even then the Wind power can do some work after those have run out.)

You can drop a weapon by a Rock Octoroc to get it repaired. Once per octoroc (per blood moon), same principle as cleaning rusty gear in BOTW (And maybe they still clean rusty stuff too?).

I've been focusing on opening sky towers and finding memories and I'm delighted that the first one I found featuring Big G in person is the one with Gerudo battle woodwinds and war moldugas and Rauru demonstrating that when he said Power of Light he meant MOTHERFUCKING LASER CANNON BITCHES.

Honestly beating Phantom Ganon is not that hard and really worth it cause he always drops a 40+ katana with a gloom demerit that's not too bad. I killed the fire boss in like 6 hits with + a 20+ monster part. Best DPS I've found. Also a bow that scales with max health so after completing all the shrines it'll be the best single shot bow I think.

The one I've got at least is pretty useful in a fight but I'm having the same issues I had in Elden Ring where just enough of the time they make the enemies behave unpredictably which gets on my nerves because by the time I got it I didn't actually need help in most fights anymore. You can activate them while in the air so I just keep it off and turn it on as needed. I also keep thinking it's an enemy sneaking up on me lol Heavy Metal posted:I'm open to being sold on it.

It's just like any other resource now, if you're getting a lot use them freely and if it's high damage and rare be more selective. My bread and butter weapon this playthrough has been just sticking a construct horn on whatever polearm I find laying around because as a weapon it is rock solid because even small damage boosts are big when you attack 155 times per second at incredible range, and also I get loads of horns so if I've got to toss it I'm not going to sweat it. Horns add so much damage and drop from drat near everything that it definitely feels like fusing is their primary purpose. Killing any constructs you see also has the side effect of having lots of charges to turn into zonai devices. Killing the hoarder in my brain was hard work but it's been very rewarding since 99% of the time it's faster to just get more of X resource in the off-chance you run out than it is to not use it when you need it, especially since you can save scum so it's not like a Souls thing where you can just lose it and still need to do the fight.

My issue with the abilities is that everyone runs towards you or away from you at the most inconvenient times. I've died to Bomb Flowers exploding in my face because I was mashing A to collect them and Yunobo just happened to walk next to me. I've also died because of (massive post-Phenomena spoiler, have finished Faron location) Mineru getting in the way during combat, and by the time I've dismounted a silver-tier enemy has already caught up to me and shanked me. And on the opposite end of the scale Riju always seems to favor close combat when I need her to hang out with me at long range so I can snipe foes. And I know I can just disable them at will but they're really valuable for managing combat just from automatic attacks and drawing some aggro away. I saw a loading tip that says whistling is supposed to gather all your summons near you but I haven't seen it work at all, or if it does then it makes no noticeable difference if the situation's too chaotic.

I found a cool cave down in the south area, around Faron, where you have to build a death car that you slowly trick out as you go through the cave and pick up more and more parts from bokoblin encampments but annoyingly the only reward (as far as I could find) was a large zonaite charge. Did I miss a hidden set of clothes or something? Because if that zonaite charge is the only reward, it seems really easy to end up spending more than you gained, if you found that place and got the urge to go all-out with your extra parts.

Hey, what do I need to do to get the story moving? Since the cutscenes at the beginning, I have made literally no progress in like 20 hours. I've seen one more cutscene where Zelda shows up in the past and meets Rauru but otherwise I still don't know why she's appearing and disappearing, or who Spooky Dave is, or what's his deal, or the deal with the spooky fog, or all the stuff rising into the air. I've only done one of the dungeons so far (Rito) but the issue with the blizzard seemed like just another random happening caused by Spooky Dave doing... whatever the hell he's doing.

Silly question about mechanics / lore implications. I was talking to a random NPC just as a dragon was flying by and doing the dragon wind stuff, and the NPC's dialogue was all about how sometimes they can feel a strange wind blowing around and they wondered what it could be. While the dragon was 50 yards away from us. Do people suppose this just the NPC not having a program to react to dragons (likely) or can most common people just not see dragons (similar to koroks).
