Snake Maze posted:I think my one complaint about TotK so far is that unless I missed something, the great fairies (and, crucially, armor upgrades) can only be activated in a specific order, so you have to go to rito village first, at least enough to activate the first fairy, if you don't want to get oneshot by everything. I'm confused by this, because the first fairy I did was the woodland stable one with the crew you just need to haul up to her on your horse , I still haven't found the drat flute guy.

You can't do that until you've started the reporter quest right outside Rito Village though, or at least that's how it seemed when I got there.

Yes, it was designed for that purpose, just like Breath of the Wild. Although you can in theory go pretty much anywhere you want once you finish tutorial island, they still really want you to do things in a specific order. If you do that, then you're not going to get oneshot by anything, even without upgrading your armor at all. I didn't unlock any fairies until I beat the first dungeon, which I did with only 5 hearts, and I am by no means particularly good at this game.

Running, jumping, and gliding are probably things I spend the most time doing, so it made sense over attacking or interactions

Just finished the Wind Temple and the game is funny because it's mechanically difficult and requires both lateral thinking while also making you die quickly if you don't Dark Souls the combat. It also is full No Child Left Behind when it comes to the story. You get to the temple and it does a whole thing of showing you the gears trying and failing to turn, telling you what needs to be done. Then your bird friend goes "WOW those gears aren't moving, I wonder if there is a way to get them to move!". Then a dead sage come down in golden light and goes "Hero you must get the gears to move to progress just letting you know". I dunno, if you can get to the place then you probably could figure that out!

Hey, how do I get Robbie to haul his rear end to Hateno village and upgrade my drat pad for me? He keeps saying he wants to stick around and look after Josah, and Josah keeps saying she wants to examine the picture I took in the depths introductory quest for her, but neither of them will give me a new quest and I even got to the research lab just to see if Robbie would show up and, nope, closed.

It goes against the open ended structure of BotW, but not against the structure of TotK.

Those puff mushrooms are incredibly powerful, I'm making short work of camps of silver enemies even by dropping onto them and opening with a puffball, killing 3/4 of them, then blitzing down the big guard that most of the time still can't even find me. It's not entirely foolproof though when you can't see the explosives strewn about the place

I'm enjoying the bokoblin hat. I can walk into a camp and I get them all following me while start collect all the bomb barrels and make a giant death trap they never see coming.

My favorite thing to do is turn a bosskoblin against his subjects and watch from a perk as he either succumbs to a thousand needles or is left victorious, alone and diminished.

It's amazing when they all get their shields in formation around the boss, but then you turn him and he's in perfect AOE position to their backs.

They make lynel fighting fun frankly. On an amiibo drop I got some ancient tech and they vaporize enemies like ancient arrows but they also disappear regardless of weapon/arrow fuse unfortunately.

the new armors that give you attack bonuses in harsh weather are pretty neat. it gives you the option of just not using the element-resistance armors and just cooking food instead so you can have better offense. also they look cool

It's one of two very early quests that pretty much reinforce the idea of "visit every stable ASAP". It's a major side quest there's not really a problem in it having sequential steps. It's so much clearer and easier then finding Great Fairies in BOTW it's not really a problem, and I don't think there's anything that prevents you from doing it the moment you get the paraglider. I was pretty surprised that the first great fairy just puts the icons of the 4 on the map, so even if you haven't found the stables you know where to go.

This thread moves fast so sorry if someone already posted this but there is an absurdly easy method for duping items in the Materials category now, including diamonds, Large Zonite, and any fuse materials your heart desires. Gonna put it in spoilers for people who don't even want to know. 1. Put Link into a state where he has his paraglider out. Do this on a small ledge because you have to pick the items up off the ground, don't leap out of a tower and do it way up in the sky. 2. Go into your menu and put as many of the item swaddled in your arms as you can. 3. To exit the menu, hit Y and B at the same time. The timing on hitting both at the same time is tight but not difficult. 4. Hitting Y and B bypasses the "you can't use that here" error and spawns the items on the ground while also keeping them in your inventory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4fE_9LXY88

I definitely did not do the Great Fairies in that order because the first one I did was the one with Violin player quest. Then the one with the guy stuck in a hole. I may have gone to the Gazette first but I don't think I did before the Violin player one. I could be wrong though. I found the first fairy pretty early on because it was just a little north east of Lookout Landing. I distinctly remember that because I also found Koltin right around the same time.

Imo which again brings up the idea of needing to get on a horse an go full Hyrulian Road Truckers around the land to get to all the stables rather than the myriad of other traversal methods (including climbing or just flying where you want to go) because important stuff is scattered all over the main roads.

I think I might've veered in the same direction as you because I also found her and Koltin in quick succession. How anyone could be introduced to the Stable Trotters and not instantly want to go beeline all of their quests is beyond me.

Well the violinist is the closest one to Lookout Landing, it's also by far the easiest quest of the Fairies to complete as you don't have to literally hunt the violinist down beforehand. She's already there. I think it might be intended to be the first Great Fairy for that reason alone.

Game meets people where they are most of time except stables lol. Like idc about stables coming from botw but it seems like I guess I’ll hop on one and just ride and get all the stables so I can get upgrades. In botw I found them all just by checking places out or flying around.

So if the divine beasts from BOTW were all named for 3 of the relevant sages from OOT and then Medli from Windwaker, games where you famously fight Ganondorf, does that in turn mean since there has also been a Ganondorf pinned under the castle from the kingdoms founding on until this latest game, all of those other stories had a second Dorf down there?

Also for you people wanting to stock up on arrows, find the closed stable near Gerudo. Tons of boxes filled with arrows to break. Though I'm not sure how anyone could have a problem finding arrows in this game they are literally everywhere.

Hyrule seems to have been independently founded multiple times in its history and we ain't heard dick about King Rauru before; it's not like he was in Skyward Sword, y'know?

CapnAndy posted:The relevant question here is "which founding". yeah rauru was a sage in oot, not a king my take is and has always been that 'legend' is to be taken literally and the games are stories told across many generations with the specifics lost over time because otherwise there's a lot of poo poo in games that conflict with other games

X-O posted:Also for you people wanting to stock up on arrows, find the closed stable near Gerudo. Tons of boxes filled with arrows to break. It's a constant tug of war between finding and spending. I've fluctuated between 100 and 200 arrows pretty much all game because I base my bow usage on how close I am to dipping below 100. I'm always looting crates and killing archers but shooting things is both essential and fun as heck. At 2.8 stamina wheels and it feels like I can bullet time shoot forever except it also feels wasteful when even a good 30 damage bow and a headshot is chip damage to a silver anything. I think the main complaint is people want the fun of shooting things without the tedium of cracking open crates to stay topped off.

Don't forget if you luck into bows that shoot multiple arrows, it still only uses one arrow to do that like in BOTW.

Violin is always first as far as I know, but when I got there to start with they were just talking with each other about how they would only talk to someone from the gazette. I had to head to rito village and start that quest before I could do the first great fairy one.
