In what way do you mean without the Purah Pad?

I wish Addison were marked off on the map in some way. I guess I could look at the Heroes Path, I assume I wouldn't have passed any up

Pretty insightful critique here, sums up a lot of what I haven't been liking about this game a lot better than I could say it: https://youtu.be/a4ldmt3eU2I

If skipping the Purah Pad means you start taking actual screenshots then hell, I'm all for it, go for it

Okay there’s an immediate hard gate for not having the purah pad It seems you can’t activate any terminals without it There’s a terminal you need to activate to open a bridge to get off the island. Attempting to jump off to a lake below triggers automatic death

I was wondering how far someone could progress if they just ignored the robot and never picked it up I would assume the robot would just go "Hey!" and force you into getting the pad, because the pad is like your menu, you kinda need it.

Blaziken386 posted:if people can play botw without the sheikah slate through clever glitching, i'm sure there's a way around the purah pad too. In BotW, they were able to do that because they could just clip into the shrines and activate the elevator to get past the Great Plateau, but it seems like the devs have caught on and made the shrines all weird in TotK. I'm afraid getting into them without activating them might be too difficult for our glitch-hunting friends.

Huh, weird, this simple blessing shrine had a slightly different name and also I only just noticed for the first time ever some weird geography about that shrine, I guess I must have missed it the other times. Now to just take a confident and carefree step forward.....

Just finished it with ~80%. I think the only quest I didn't bother completing was the compendium, the last one I finished was the wells one because that lady is just so pumped up about wells I'd feel bad if I didn't finish it. Patricia only gives me coordinates for the final battle so I think I got all the sidequests covered. I don't think I enjoyed it as much as my BotW experience a couple years ago, but that's not to say I didn't have a great time with it. I liked the depths as a concept since falling in love with Made in Abyss's concept, and being able to have fun doing delver stuff is just as cool as you'd expect when it's being made by developers without a piss fetish. I didn't catch on to the depths being an inverted overworld map until way late, and it was even later that I realized lightroots were below shrines, and had their names written in backwards. Same thing with named forests being groves, I had no idea groves had special treasure, I avoided them whenever i could because of those fuckin' angry trees. Only when an X from a map guided me there I realized I had to check what I missed at all the other named spots. Can someone gimme a page for the timeline discussion nerds that's probably happened already, it seems like the events in the past were sort of a retelling of OoT, which I thought was kind of cool.

The depths needed something to let you know that in the dark the rock you're scaling isn't surmountable, because the camera does a bad job holding it's orientation. Like how bedrock in minecraft lets you know you can't climb it, maybe there there should have been matching stalagmites so from the surface you'd know. The depths was also cool when you got there organically, I remember solving a labrynth and diving from the sky into the underground but the underground really suffered from the scale. Too Samey.

Kassad posted:what Like how every mine has a chest, every named grove has a treasure inside a big bowl shaped tree trunk. You can usually pick them out on the map once you know what you're looking for, they're the C shaped features in groves. Usually have just a big crystalline charge, but I've found outfit parts in a bunch of them.

Too Samey. Yeah this is my biggest complaint about the game by far. They really should’ve done something to vary the biomes of the Depths. The first time I went down there, I was in awe of how weird and spooky everything was. I thought “whoa, I can’t wait to see what kind of strange stuff is down here”. Turns out, I saw it all right away. The aesthetic is extremely cool, but there’s only the one look. Takes all the fun out of exploring the Depths because there are so few surprises.

They sorta did it with the Death Mountain area and parts of the Gerudo depths, but yeah it's pretty samey. I'm glad I didn't realize what the deal was with the depths until like 200 hours in so there was plenty of darkness to keep me on my toes, but once I realized what was going on I spent a solid week on an expedition from lightroot to lightroot all on foot which was pretty fun. After finishing up I finally used the Hero's Path and found that yeah, compared to the surface there just wasn't a lot trying to grab hold of my curiosity like on the surface to entice me to explore past specific points of interest. Overworld was squiggles all over the place, while the depths was more connect the dots.

The neat thing is they aren't random, any place with lava in the depths had some sort of hot spring that would heal you on the surface.

Just Andi Now posted:I'm afraid getting into them without activating them might be too difficult for our glitch-hunting friends. Speed runners are absolute psychopaths and will eventually find any possible thing to exploit, even if it requires frame perfect timing. Maybe it's impossible but I wouldn't put anything past them  Inferior Third Season posted:According to a book in one of the yiga forts, unscalable walls can be determined by stalactites hanging down when you look up at them. I found this yiga fort way late, when I had already lit up the entire Depths, so I don't know how visible the stalactites are from the ground when it is darker. I think you have to be pretty high up before you can see em. But it's still a good tip

Can’t remember if I posted this already, but someone built logic gates for a rudimentary calculator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3IKHSHVzoY Unfortunately the limit on zonai devices you can have out means it can’t be a whole rear end Minecraft-playing computer like in Minecraft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BP7DhHTU-I Or a medieval orbit-calculating computer like in Three Body Problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0GvSM_HevY

I know nothing about programming or modding at a game design level, I wonder if it would be feasible for a PC mod to change the limit on devices/objects you can stick together. That seems like something you could have a lot of fun with being less limited by the Switch's capability.

HootTheOwl posted:It doesn't line up right because they start the ramping up before you hit the barrier. With very few exceptions, if you pull up the overworld map then close it so the mini-map shows the overworld layer, and start walking toward a body of water, when you can tell you're approaching the water it will for-sure be a useless climb. The main spots I can think of where it's not true are the spots that have tiny, tiny ledges to walk on, like by the Tingel islands or the area on the northwestern edge of Hebra. Those are actually really nice/cool because the lightroots on them make for extremely convenient warping before traveling in any direction You can also lock the rotation of the mini-map in case you're having issues with the camera rotating and being disorienting. First thing I noticed and checked the settings for, I hate rotating mini-maps

Finally finished the game last night, pretty satisfying ending to a pretty satisfying game. But now I want to go back and watch something I avoided but can't find it now, was being posted here a couple weeks back or something. Can somebody repost whatever way somebody had managed to cheese the final Ganandorf fight?

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

You can definitely cheese the fight with an inventory full of rocket shields and bomb arrows with a 3 or 5 shot bow.

having beaten the game now it's fun reading about things I completely misunderstood biggest one I flew to hateno using the glider cart you find on the dueling stables mountain. I landed on a nearby mountain that had the cherryblossom tree and a spot for an offering right next to it I gave the offering and saw the light gates pop up and I guess because I was in a flying mood I thought it was some sort of time trial thing? Like you had to fly through all the gates in a certain amount of time. Crashed my cartplane on the second one and promptly gave up and never thought about it again
