I've done 3 Phenomena so far, Rito, Gerudo and Zora. I feel like the last one was a let down, slightly perhaps by my own fault but even so.

Okay so Tulin is adorable and my friend and the desolate slow rendetion of the Rito Village theme and blizzard atmosphere was something I drank in like I was dying of thirst and I adored the sky climb up to ark. A+ time.

Gerudo Town under the sand shroud and mummy bug siege, with a pyramid raid? Loved it. Riju is cool and a terrifying thunder god with poor accuracy.

Zora Domain has been pooped on. It rains from on high, I have to bumble around the poo water hunting for Sidon, an old guy and then his dad. When I finally get on the way to the dungeon with my good friend, he says lets split up and does so. It's a low gravity zone about using bubbles or something(?) but it didn't matter because this is a low gravity zone and I'd already found the gumball machine that gives you spring boards so I leap right up to the top of the falling poo stream in about 2 launchs to where the dungeon is. It is simply navigated and the boss, who constantly does poo and gleefully wallows in it, is casually defeated by tactical use of swiffer equipped roomba's. Whole thing took 15 minutes. I receive the same story about the imprisoning war from somebody with no new perspective on it, I zone out wondering where the hell this Elephant association the Zora have going on is coming from. Sidon is crowned and married, forever denying my years of loving slash fic.


I go now to the Death Mountain, in search of spiritual renewal.

Right on. Does the Flux Construct core do anything on a shield though? I wonder if anybody's tried that.
And does say fusing two shields together do anything?


I killed the big block monster on the tutorial island and didn't know what I was doing so I accidentally fused the core to my lovely shield. It just became a spinning spike stick glued parallel to the shield, I didn't notice anything major but I didn't know what to be looking for. I have also glued a sheikah shield to another shield, I think it upped the defense but didn't notice if it lasted any longer.

Speaking of, what is the point of gluing a hover platform to a shield? I thought it might let me hoverboard but it just uses up energy and makes me faceplant. :ignorance:

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?).

When you say repaired, do you just mean restore the durability or full on fix the decay and make it Pristine

The thing is, not really, at least not the Hudson planks. They'll float, but they don't provide much buoyancy, so it won't keep up the carriage seating for the fairy quests or say, monster truck wheels to make a paddleboat.

I attached two of the large Hudson planks together, one on top of the other, and it was buoyant enough for the carriage. I haven't tried to make a paddleboat, so I don't know about that, though.

It will restore durability, and give it a new boost ability (damage, durability, etc.). I haven't tried a non-Fused weapon, so I don't know about decay, though.

No kidding, when I first started running into hints about Goron City's situation I hoped that it meant the reason Yunobo was so conspicuously absent from the last trailer was because he had a punk makeover and would stay that way even after I fixed everything. At least his profile briefly had artwork for his cooler design

I love that I learned you can ride the dragons around. I just took a little tour on Farosh and got some parts off it, it passes super close to one of the towers near Gerudo and you can just drop down onto it. The cycle regens while you're standing on top of it -- in my case it was sometime after midnight then again around 4 pm I think -- so I managed three pieces before i got bored and hopped off.

Dedicate some time to spelunking and just hit the depths for a few hours. There's A FUCKLOAD of zonaite in mines (areas marked mines on the map) in addition to said mines having energy crystal chest rewards. Also all the Yiga camps have energy crystal rewards. I went on a deep run today at lunch (with the 2 fan hoverbike) and ended with over 500 crystals after I bought out a furnace in addition to the crystals I found.

There's also the Fire Sage ability which takes a few seconds to recharge but can clear rocks for free.

I managed to solve my issue with the cave, I think the NPC was referring to one a bit beyond the fort, where the Evil Eye Shrine was in BotW. it had the Barbarian Helmet so I guess that was that.

I also went looking for the Horse God and eneded up where the Sheikah Tower of Akkala was in BotW, which was a good haul since I found a shrine, Phantom Ganon that dropped a Gloom Spear (so there's more Gloom weapons!) and the freaking Fierce Deity chestpiece! A nice surprise albeit worriesome cause there was no clue in the surroundings about a cloth clave, I guess the Ruppe rabbit was the hint? Is there a quest guiding to more or do I have to explore carefully?

By the way, really cool that not only the Horse God can buff horse stats but it uses cooking for it which give a reason to cook stuff beyond 5 of the same buff or the best healing recipe.

seriously explore the depths. Once you find 2-3 mine locations you can reasonably farm "large zonanite" drops that only take 15 for a charge gain. Running between them every few hours or when they respawn (blood moon? or the 1% chance a minute when not in the memory chunk?) and you'll get nearly a fully battery each time.

Talk to any constructs at the mines, they might give you the map location for the central mine.

Are there dudes at the mines? I found a mine or two but each time I'd just blow up all the zoanite deposits and leave, I didn't see anyone.

There’s a shrine next to this grove, I forgot the name. It’s near where the magic horse was in BOTW

Apple farming tip: hitting a tree 15 times will get all apples to fall. Spear/pole type weapons are fastest for this. Luckily there are farming tools there that fit the bill
