Gems also drop like candy if you’re exploring and going in to caves. I think I ended the game with 40ish of each rarer gem, and 100+ opals/amber, and that was with selling them liberally (and using a ton of amber to upgrade the Time set).

Upgrading the champions tunic is a test of my patience. I haven’t figured out the light dragons path yet so I’m just trying to estimate last time I saw her and shoot up a tower and ride a wing and identify her with a camera to get another part since you can’t farm parts like in botw

Apparently Dan is a sex symbol in France.

You can also make a surprising amount of money selling cheap items you don't need. I had 999 bright bloom seeds, and enough giant ones to never need them. That paid for a whole armour set.

If you're looking up at the sky from the ground, you'll see the light dragon before the sensor ever picks it up. It kind of does a lap all around hyrule in a clockwise direction. I managed to find it a few times just by teleporting to each of the towers and having a look around, using a pin from the scope once I find it to see where on the map it exactly is, then going to the closest tower that it'll be heading towards

Okay, question about dragons: do they despawn if you save on them or smth? Was trying to farm the light one for parts but I stopped and saved over it. Now I loaded and was on a tower and no matter how much I teleport it's nowhere to be found.

That’s actually accurate to real life(though it wouldn’t accelerate that fast). I think the idea is the air the fan is blowing pulls a little extra with it? Anyway it generates a slight surplus of force and will push the sail. Mythbusters did an episode on it.

Poe armor reselling is a good idea since they are abundant imo. If you find a skeleton horse it makes it a bit easier or 5th sage.

I had some questions until I realized it meant unlimited Biggoron Swords. Link's whole purpose in life is basically defined by endless killing, it makes sense that I could come to an arrangement with some sort of reaper God

*Luminous stones have an unsubstantiated legend that they contain the souls of the dead.

*Luminous stones are not found in conjuction with poes

*Zonaite, on the other hand, *is*. And zonaite mines in particular have very high concentrations of souls in the equipment.

*Zonaite superficially resembles luminous stone.

* someone stopped the bargainers from doing their jobs, and nobody but the zonai had any access to the chasms

Conclusion: zonaite is compressed human souls, all the zonai tech runs on them, and the legend about luminous stone is based on the memory of zonaite from the ancient era.

Specifically, it passes over each geoglyph. Visit the sky towers going counterclockwise and look towards the nearest glyph.

Finishing the very last shrine, just occurred to me: they have these neat hands basically serving as Floormasters in this game, I wonder if they thought of/maybe tried having them crawl along the ceiling at some point?

It's one thing to walk into a cave and see the pool of Gloom appear to make you go "oh gently caress oh poo poo" but I think it'd be next-level if you were walking around a cave with ceilings juuuuust high enough to be out of view, and then hear that same noise coming from seemingly nowhere.

I encountered Hands for the first time last night at the north lomei labyrinth. And this is exactly what happened lol. After reaching the end, I stopped to think about where I wanted to go next. Huh weird why is that extremely threatening piano bassline playing? *Hands whip around the corner* SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER. Jump scare got me good :haw:

You can search for fixed spawns on some maps at this point, but when I had to find a bunch I just swept the starter island which still had some non-leveled spawns

Really wish they had gone with a ranks system for the upgrades. Like, 50 ranks of mob horn for an upgrade, and a Captain IV counts for 4 sort of thing so you can use later mats for earlier upgrades but it's still super worth it to hunt down the higher ranked monsters. This plus making guts start at 50% instead of 0% solves a lot by making things less frustrating but not any easier.

Is there any data on what causes the game to level things up? I assume it's tied to shrines complete but maybe quests and etc?
