Phenotype posted:How do I go about getting the Master Sword? I haven't wanted to google it in case of spoilers, but I haven't even gotten a breadcrumb or anything yet, and I'm 2 temples in and explored quite a bit of the map now. I forget how it worked in BotW, but I thought I'd been pointed there by now but had been put off by the heart requirement. The easiest way is that, yeah. But people have gotten it without doing that. It's in the head of the light dragon flying circles around Hyrule. There are a couple spots, I don't know where, that you can fly onto it. The master sword is stuck in the dragon's head, you'll need I believe 2 wheels of stamina to pull it out successfully.

Blaziken386 posted:don't answer this any more than yes or no: does the game ever explain why the depths exist? if it was just extensive caves thats one thing, but the fact that its an exact inverted copy of hyrule makes me question what caused it to exist. Suuuuper old post but as far as I can tell, no and it chews me the gently caress up. What is going on.

What does Lost Woods / Deku Tree sidequest do for the Master Sword in this game? I did it after getting the sword from the conclusion of the Geoglyphs plotline (which I did before anything else because I liked them).

Doing that quest will Give you a marker of where the master sword/light dragon is at all times until you pull the master sword. That's about it. Still, of course you need to do it to help the koroks and the deku tree. You can't just leave them corrupted like that

You also need to do that quest in order to access three shrines that I think are unavailable otherwise. I thought I only had 8 shrines left but the loading screen says I’m at 140 when I understand there are 152…

I did it after getting the sword from the conclusion of the Geoglyphs plotline (which I did before anything else because I liked them). in addition to the quest marker, both the Deku Tree and Geoglyphs quests pull the light dragon down to a "saner" altitude as well-- it's technically accessible at any point, but it takes a hell of a lot more batteries to get to it when it's up at the default height

Feel free to spoiler the answer if you need, but do you ever get the ability to magically summon your horse to your immediate surroundings in this game? I know most people are going to be riding around in their own gundam monster trucks they built or whatever, but still.

Fought the depths King Gleeok last night and it was definitely the most challenging fight in the game I've come across so far - ended up reloading my save cause I blew so much food, fairies, and bows. Ended up finding a good rhythm in its last phase of sniping it before it could fully take off into the air, but good god is the storm part just insanely hectic. Kept trying to ride the icicles back up into the air but every time I did I would get hit by a lighting bolt which would practically one shot me. Whatever I got that dumb hat that I probably won't ever wear at least!!

Okay, I feel like the physics glitch with throw weapons to get launched into the air is a scam. Every time I tried it I would get launched backwards or it would break in the ground. Ended up getting to the big Island over Eventide via paraglider and stamina food. King Gleeok was a surprise, but it turns out Bomb arrows+Scimitar of the Seven clears it quickly. Not even a P3 . Also Klinton gave me a diamon so I could sell 10 and still have enough to get Mipha's trident.

They may as well have just not created the mount system at all then. The entire point of a mount system is to get to places slightly faster that are just close enough that fast travel wouldn't help you. To have to chase a horse all over creation entirely misses the point of a mount system at all, and only creates another liability for the player. Great system there.

It irrationally pisses me off that the room for this fight just doesn't line up: it's got a statue of each of the four races to match the four sages puzzle directly above in Typhlo Ruins, and the statues don't match up the solutions of the puzzles above!  I was hoping at least you would beat King Gleeok, get the hat, then have a neat additional puzzle to solve that requires all the sages, but they didn't even put the statues in the right corners, let alone add a bonus puzzle that I could find GreatGreen posted:If that's true... jesus that's incredibly stupid.

They're allowing you to use a horse if you want, but still going to incentivize the new thing.

Even whistling to call the horse when it's in your vicinity can be annoying. I did a sidequest where I had to bring a particular horse to someone high up on a hill. I ended up going the wrong direction, and decided just to climb up the hill and then call the horse from the top rather than spending a couple minutes riding back the other direction. Of course, when I whistled for it? I just had to sit there for a couple minutes watching it slowly make its way back around the map to get to me anyway. Why can't it just teleport to me like a normal game?

Someone figured out what weapons spawn where in the Depths and more: https://www.reddit.com/r/tearsofthekingdom/comments/13uqo9h/everything_you_need_to_know_about_nondecayed/GreatGreen posted:If that's true... jesus that's incredibly stupid.

The entire point of a mount system is to get to places slightly faster that are just close enough that fast travel wouldn't help you. It's a different design philosophy that's always going to be polarizining, like Red Dead Redemption 2.

After a point with batteries I've found horses to remind me of how cars quickly became in Saints Row 4. Something you could still use if you wanted but completely replaced by the new powers.

Red Dead Redemption 2 horses do magically teleport and have unbreakable titanium necks though. Earlier in this thread someone speculated that there is probably an imagined version of BOTW where movement was supposed to be much more "grounded" and deliberate, which is why there's so much effort put on roads and stables. But being a flying spider monkey is just too much fun. mycot fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Jun 1, 2023 |

It's not as good as just whistling to summon one, but you don't need to glide back to it to return it to a stable Even having to go to a stable is ridiculous. That process still requires you to find a stable, walk to it, interact with it, and then ride back to where you came from before you can even start riding wherever it was you actually wanted to go. Seems like that time would just be better spent running straight to wherever wanted to go in the first place. Supremezero posted:That's why we have cars and bikes and autobuild. Eh, the same terrible horse mounting system was in the last game before we had the ability to build stuff so I don't think they get a pass on this. In other words they don't deserve any credit for playing 4D chess with the player's incentives by duct taping a better mobility system to the next game. Credit where it's due of course, this game is the best physics simulator toybox since Garry's Mod, but that still doesn't make the horse system retroactively good.

I pretty much never use horses in this game. There’s usually interesting stuff on the way anywhere and I’m usually not in a rush. Creating trucks to vroom around in the depths is a great investment though!

Yea, the cart thing not having a brakes or a tongue makes the one interaction between the two systems only really usable in specific terrains.

Teleporting horses is really convenient in games but I hate that feeling of poo poo spawning right behind you out of camera view. My ideal ToTK horse system would replace the whistle with a wheel for sage powers + option to summon horse and the horse will go from where it was to where I am even if it means doing imossible routes for the horse and takes so long it doesn't show up till you're in the middle of combat or something else.

If there was a full cart with wheels for just 3 Zonaite you'd maybe see more builds using horsepower, but when you're at 5 parts and 15 Zonaite even before you can add the cannon and laser beam arrays and you can't just pull those parts out of your inventory it puts a damper on the project Also I guess you can ride them. I used horses a fair amount before I had enough battery for my trike and later airbike, them automatically following roads is nice as is the dismount into bullet time and actually usefully vehicles (don't flip over constantly) are prohibitively expensive early on If it's going to be a summon anywhere system, Elden Ring's is what I'd like to see. Spawns right under you at a gallop already, and also it can double jump. Oh that doesn't make sense, it's not realistic? Well guess what buddy it's MAGIC

Pros about horses in BOTW/TOTK: - the delightful piano music that kicks up after some galloping - feeding them apples - the cooing noise Link makes when you spam the Soothe button Cons: - the stablemaster talking your ear off every time I want to take out a horse - they can die and then I have to see the scary horse god

There should have been a Sage Of Horse. Also you should be able to directly pull from capsules for autobuild instead of pulling them out first.
