TotK just has more uses for materials than BotW did so there was pretty much zero reason to dupe in BotW unless you really really wanted to max out certain armor.

There was a lot less worth duping, materials-wise, and you can farm like 10 farosh horns a minute even to this day in BotW so anything involving rupees is handled "legitimately".

e: you can tell how many people were burned by all the "is this okay to sell" comments ITT, but generally speaking if you hoarded the expensive stuff instead of selling it in botw you were good on armor upgrades unless you were trying to upgrade literally everything

Finished the game.

Great ending.

Loved the experience and the game helped me a lot this weeks.
Now whats next?

Maybe I should go back to BoTW that I never played very long.

Is there any other GREAT open world game with a good story in the Switch? I am also considering playing Arceus.

EDIT: Also the way the ghosts with weapons in the depths work was also solved:they only spawn weapons that you broke unfused. So you should break on purpose every weapon you want an undecayed version of.

Oh poo poo this is neat, and it sets a goal to aim for that doesn't feel like an exploit.

XBC3. I assume you already have a baseline tolerance for anime, and the game has great combat, characters and a fun and very extra story. Looks stunning and is fun to explore.

If I go up against an ice, fire, or electric gleeok, but have the upgraded armor set with freeze immunity, fire immunity, electric immunity, etc, can I just basically tell that Gleeok to gently caress off you can't do poo poo to me?

You really don't need to use the dupe glitch, I had a vast pile of resources I didn't need when I beat ganon just playing normally.

I suspect dupes are being used because weapon parts now stack for lots, while before you have to dupe the entire weapon and then you can only hold a limited amount.

There are something like three or four ways in. I was exploring a tunnel and ascended into it from below. But there is a cave approach and an above approach as well, on top of a front entrance.

Things I attach to shields

  1. Rockets - So you can fly straight up as long as you battery
  2. Puffshrooms - If anything hits your shield, the area around you is now smoke.
  3. Lightning Lik stone - Parrying, even if you don't hit anything, will send out a cone of lighting every time. I think as long as you don't hit anything, no durability is taken


Also found love in spear plus cannon. You go into throw mode and it's like a rail shooter game.

In this and BotW I don't understand why the blood moon gets such a cool but repetitive and eventually annoying scene every time when its effect is pretty much meaningless. Does the game have to reload the enemies and so there has to be something to fill time so it's not just an awkward loading screen?

exactly that, yes

the world needs to periodically dump its memory or something to maintain stability, the blood moon just makes the process diegetic

Yes, but you need to hit a button combination, and you have to wait a few seconds into the scene, and if you don't time it just right, it won't work and you have to try again

don't get me started about buttons changing function...like how sprinting on a horse (A) is different than sprinting while swimming (X), which is different than sprinting while running (B)...which all leads to me jumping onto then off of a horse on accident constantly.

The build up to it is your cue to run to a cooking area (or get those portable pots out) and start cooking as many dishes as you can to benefit from the "made during blood moon" bonus.

The weapons you get in the depths that are shiny - just more durability or? I fused my strongest monster mat to one but I’m afraid to actually use it

If you are talking about the weapons the Ghost Knights are holding in the Depths, those are pristine weapons, which have higher attack and noticeably more durability compared to the decayed versions you normally find.

You know... with the dup glitch going away, just give us a loving proper Sandbox Mode!

Because the AMIIBO is like the paid dup glitch, the game is already broken in that respect. If I want free items to just fall from the sky I can do it. But I really just want to build poo poo with no restirctions and not have to think about how it's impacting my main game save. And yeah, I realize I could just not save, but I don't have everything unlocked yet.

If anyone is looking to make some quick rupees in the game, at the eastern foot of Satori Mountain, Sonapan Shrine sits amongst an apple grove. I just went there for the first time today, and collected close to 150 apples in just a few minutes, as well as about a dozen golden apples. Travel somewhere with a cooking spot and a shop like Kakariko Village, you can cook 30 simmered fruits, sell them for 27 rupees each, netting you about 810 rupees.

I'm currently ingame on the previous version. If I disable auto-updates and quit out, will it just prompt me to update next time I launch? Is my Switch forever doomed to be a Zelda arcade machine I can only put in sleep (not the worst fate)?

i think for the most part the game is pretty good at giving you resources without requiring grinding to the point that duping is necessary but the amiibo armors probably shouldn't be so costly to upgrade when they're often used as rewards for questlines, caves, and depths exploration.

Frankly your armour inventory is poorly organised enough that pruning it improves the user experience substantially.
