How big the game is seems pretty much up to the player. I saw people beat the game the first few nights I was playing in pre-release.

Orange Crush Rush posted:One funny thing I've noticed about the discourse on ToTK, is the more you know about programming/game design the more and more this game turns into literal Black Magic and Witchcraft, apparently. Any other game will do "here is a Rail object, it can interact with a Hook object in these carefully prescribed ways". Changing that to "anything with a vaguely hook-like shape will dangle correctly from anything rail-shaped" is orders of magnitude more difficult.

Water temple question: How are you supposed to hit the switch in the tower that's spinning really quickly? I just plinked away at it with a bow until I managed to hit the switch but I feel like this wasn't the intended way.

Yeah you can just focus all the main quest stuff and beat the game pretty quickly and you're not really penalized for it at all. Or you could let yourself fall down every single diversionary rabbit hole like I've been doing to the point where I still haven't even finished the four sage quests because I'm too busy tricking out all my armors and trying to wrangle the Depths.

I’m all kinds of mixed up in the Fire temple but having fun just wandering around and falling into the SMALLEST GODDAMN WINDOW of lava between igneous slabs.

Like I guess I'm not supposed to be at the water temple yet because nothing works and it won't let me do anything despite trying poo poo for hours. But I haven't talked to any zora people yet and a cursory Google search says I'm supposed to do some other quest first. I just happened upon the place exploring the sky and I haven't even seen the ground in this zone before.. I'm going to assume that's it and not that I have severe brain damage or something.

Generally you're not supposed to visit any temple until you have the appropriate partner for it, as you'll need said partner to complete the temple.

RatHat posted:It can actually survive more than 1 hit, it just needs to be at the “severely damaged” stage to get the damage bonus. The royal guard weapons just need to be severely damaged, but every weapon does bonus damage on the absolute last hit, the one that breaks the weapon. It also sends enemies flying. Pretty sure the tutorial even describes this effect. That bonus-damage-on-last-hit effect stacks with the Royal Guard bonus. And apparently it triggers whenever the weapon has 1 durability left, not just when it breaks! It isn't displayed in the UI though.

the "champion abilities" in this game are one of the few things that just fall flat imo. Two of the three I've gotten so far are incredibly situational and activating them is really clunky. It's really easy to use them by accident or for them to just refuse to activate when you want them. I just have the Zora and Goron ones toggled off 99% of the time and most situations where they might be helpful I usually forget about them. they probably could've nixed the redundant map button on the item wheel, which i've literally never used because pressing minus is faster, and found a way to slot these in there instead Augus fucked around with this message at 23:35 on May 26, 2023 |

I did like all the temples. Fire was the most tedious but they all had their charm. Boss fights were all good though I was not expecting the Water temple fight to be what it was. The Spirit Temple was the most creative and I think had the best payoff. The 5th Sage construct actually felt like a traditional "get the item to unlock the rest of the temple and use it against the boss" but it was a very clever use of the item. Technically, all the Sage powers felt like "getting the item" to some degree. I'm about 80 hours in and have reached the "defeat Ganondorf" questline after the Zelda Chase in Hyrule Castle. I have the Master Sword and did all the Tears. I suppose I'm in the "endgame" now. I have like 30 side quests active right now. Despite the main quest wrapping up, there's still 100+ hours of content left. I only have like half the shrines only maybe 1/4th of the Depths mapped out. I still feel there's a ton of world-building quests I haven't done yet that might actually have permanent effects a la Tarry Town in BotW. I haven't "beat" the game yet but I don't feel like I could at this point. I'm not on a second row of hearts, I don't have enough upgraded armor, and though I have weapons that might push into the 60s, I don't think I'm anywhere near what's possible. I also don't use the Zonai tech to their fullest and I think trying to just face-tank, dodge/parry is not how I'm intended to beat tough enemies. I have frikkin' laser beams, cannons, and flamethrowers at my disposal and I never use them. And they REALLY need to come up with a better system to use Sage powers than chasing down brain-dead allies and pressing A. If I could utilize all these powers more reliably, I'd be way more powerful.. Still a 11/10 game. Makes BotW look quaint, though I maintain BotW is the more "important" game in the history of video games. ToTK is absolutely the better game, though, which seemed impossible just a few weeks ago.

Sadly the Zonai devices scale so poorly with endgame enemies that they're mostly useless besides exploiting elemental weaknesses

Hi Zelda thread, just had my mind blown by the collect all dragon’s tears cutscene. Now I’m trying to reach the light dragon again because I didn’t have enough stamina last time. Is there a reliable place to reach it again? I’ve had no luck so far

Anyone know any really good spots to drop a medallion for when things respawn? I've got one in Zelda's Chambers because when it respawns you get 2 Royal Guard Bows and a Royal Guard Claymore in immediate access. I've got another in Tarrey Town to do the Kilton quests right after I get the photo and if I find gem weapons to get them broken down for the gems. The third one is an as needed, drop before trying anything too crazy or by my horse when I noticing something to explore nearby.

I've got a travel medallion at Satori Mountain to get easy cave markers, though it only seems to work at a range around that area, so I'll have to tag other locations later.

Subjunctive posted:Uh, that sounds pretty good. I've got an only somewhat optimized setup and I one shot silver moblins doing this lol. Puffshrooms are crazy powerful, they even work on gloom hands to set up some spin to win, nothing else I use is more precious It's super confusion, you can sprint right up to them and backstab whole groups one after the other and if it doesn't kill them outright, it puts them in some kind of mega stagger Epic High Five fucked around with this message at 01:02 on May 27, 2023 |

Is there a way to make (later game spoilers) the mech you get from the Spirit Temple not suck? It does so little damage no matter what devices or monster pieces you stick on it, and like the rest of your buddies, it just stands around like a bad guy in a movie when the main character has to fight like eight dudes at once.

The only thing it's good for is smashing ore deposits and rocks. I fused spiked balls/boulders to the fists and a fan to the back for the anime run in the depths.

I’ve had decent results combining freeze projector on one arm and a strong monster part on the other for a freeze-shatter combo. If you’re not piloting, best you can do is probably flame projectors for the disable. It’s still mostly for novelty though, you can do just as well or better on foot

You can upgrade with sages will like everybody else and it appears to be just as negligible as everyone else lol

Mega64 posted:I could be wrong, but based on what I read in this thread earlier, a couple things affects the Light Dragon. It flys clockwise around the map passing over each Tear; the way I track it down is to start visiting each skytower going counter-clockwise and scoping out the nearest Tear

Every member the squad is best as, well, a member of the squad. They don't do a ton of damage, but theyre good at getting crits/staggers and drawing aggro.
