Fake James posted:Speaking of Flux Constructs, what do you do when they levitate really high up in the air as a giant square? I tried riding one of the dropped boxes with rewind, but it doesn't stay upright enough to get near it. I've just been moving off the arena until it loses sight of me then returning when it's back to it's default form, otherwise it takes like 10 minutes or more to stop hovering really high up. I normally just shoot the bottom with a bomb arrow, which stuns them and makes them float down low enough to ascend through.

You had it right - recall the block, just make sure it isn't one that took a tumble or prepare to be quick on your feet. You can also just huck bombs at it until it comes down to Ascend range, or just rocket shield up Captain Hygiene posted:Very minor Depths spoiler question: I finally found a Marbled Gomah down there, how does blood moon respawning work for rematch bosses? I'm assuming the location/treasure changes or something, so I can't just beeline to this spot for a free 100 crystallized charges every time. Yep, but I think you only get the charge for the first kill, though the boss fusion item on future kills is imho always worth it

Costco Meatballs posted:That's the move. Easiest when he does the close drop and then horizontal push. Rewind the first in a row so you don't need to dodge as far, then get on top of the next one in the line that gets pushed to next to you and hop on I'll give it another go tonight - was taking so much damage from the boxes I didn't give it too many more attempts after the first few failures.

I never used bomb arrows on them before, I'll give that a try too!

I've just been moving off the arena until it loses sight of me then returning when it's back to it's default form, otherwise it takes like 10 minutes or more to stop hovering really high up. That's the move, I just did it last night. It always pauses for a few seconds before the rewind starts, giving you plenty of time to climb on top of it. In fact, I was surprised because the box ended up shooting way above the already very high construct, so I had to paraglide myself down.

wedgie deliverer posted:Does anyone have good tips for getting food supplies? The stuff at the shops is expensive and it takes forever to forage/hunt for stuff. South Tabantha Snowfield is still a decent place to hunt for prime and gourmet meat, but it's been nerfed from BotW (animal spawns seem more sparse, and rhinos have been removed from the game). It's still nice because you can do all your hunting within walking/horseriding distance of a shrine and a stable. Same caveats as in BotW apply: Have cold resistance, pick up meat before it freezes on the ground, watch out for monsters, and headshot bears because they have tons of health. Bears also sometimes drop hearty salmon which are rare spawns in the wild so it's worth the extra trouble to hunt them if you see them.

Is there any key to the wandering fashionistas on the road who give you pointers to undiscovered armor sets? I've only met one in like 70 hours but they seem pretty great. King Bahamut posted:I got a peek at an armor/upgrading guide and—you aren’t really expected to be rolling into the endgame with L4, right? The defense stats seem like they would trivialize anything, and the upgrade requirements look absolutely absurd. I gotta assume this is completionist nonsense, or just for folks who want to face tank silver lynels Level 4 soldier armor (84 def) can IIRC reduce silver lynel hits to a quarter heart. And a def elixir on top of that can give you 24 more if there's anything that can still damage you. So yeah the game is definitely not balanced to give a challenge to players with maxed out defense.

There's even an NPC in one of the stables who hears rumors of strange animals and wants to hunt them, and if you report back to her about the Dondons she's horrified that she wanted to eat a protected species lmao

I found that place early and got all the bonus chests and solved the puzzles, except you can't complete them without permission. Had to come back later and Speedrun because I already figured em out. The lava river one though I skipped the second time, just rocket slid right past it.

I've been putting a skull on the map every time I find one, originally it was to mark for myself "don't loving go here or youll die" but now it means "come here to kill this thing after every blood moon" Is there an easy place to get swallow bows or bows in general without fighting? My dad is avoiding fights because he's not great at them (I will inevitably clear some things for him) but he's needing easy bows for hunting and farming animal/critter drops. And I need swallow bows for the one repeatable bow quest

You can farm hearty salmon in the sky island northwest of Rito village with the two circular water bodies. Just drop an apple, lift up the 2 gates, and glue it to the apple on the "floor" and it'll stay open. Hop down and collect 4 fish. Sometimes there are even fairies to collect.

Fairies I think only spawn if you have less than 3, to get the most fairies, throw on some stealth armor, go to one of the high dive islands and catch 2, then go to another one and grab 3x

There's a Swallow bow at the proving grounds that I'm pretty sure respawns.

I've seen a lot of people complain about the one puzzle where you have to graft wheels to chains to open a door I spent like 20 minutes trying to do it legit but then I realized I could just stick the chains to a box and pull it away, run through, then recall the door after it dropped and pull the box through with ultrahand The fact that I could do that makes this game the best game I've ever played, hands down Especially the decision to let bombflower arrows count as hits against targets in shrines, it's like "hey do you want to spend an hour loving around with ice fruit or wacky pivot physics? No? Bomb it." GOTD

if you see a bunch of fish in one place just use a shock fruit or any other source of electricity for easy food. One of the vehicle schematics you can find is even tailor-made for this purpose. if you go to the ocean and look for seagulls circling over the water, you can often find a ton of fish right below them.

One person said "saw the shrine layout, recognized it, left immediately, gently caress that" I thought it was a good balance of interesting and fun and not too hard, but watching people go through it and I think the critical difference is that I recognized that you can use the stake and paddle you rode into the arena on. I also used a stake to pin the slab blocking the optional target up. Now the rolling ball one, that's one I don't even know how you'd do except via cheese

I found the Wind Temple by accident, and found a way to get there that trivializes the usual path. I’m still gonna go the route the game wants you to go, but I know my mind will be thinking “but you could just use the floating platform by the Flux Construct.”

Tokelau All Star posted:I wasn't sure what puzzle people were talking about because ultrahand-recall-ultrahand seemed like the intended solution to me. I think I only figured it out after I cheated it, but I think the intended solution is attaching wheels at 45 degree angles to the walls to have the box and the wheels end up on the other side so you can detach them and use them on the chains I said gently caress it and just yeeted the box across and then spent too long trying to get wheels over before just taking advantage of the beautiful physics engine they built and saying no, no thank you The number of times I've been able to just say nope to stuff they clearly designed another way is why I'll be playing this way longer than any game I've played in like 30 years

There's one specific one that flies really high up as if to taunt you and there aren't any springs or fans around. I ended up dropping a bunch of my own springs and assembling it mid-fight to get enough air.

Black Griffon posted:Really high up. I assume you haven't met them (the answer is recall). I guess they fly at different heights, mine was well within ascend range. It was the one at the end of the labyrinth quest so the arena was a little constrained which might have made a difference to the AI?

Drop a spring on the ground -> put a rocket on your shield -> jump on the spring and then rocket shield It's how I've been dealing with Gleeoks when they hit that last third of their health bar.
