Fish Appreciator posted:This game will punish you for trying, even slightly, to min-max anything. That's why I just wear whatever armor that I think looks cool, which happens to be Zonaite helmet, leggings, and the archaic tunic. Late game there are a couple hanging out on an islet back of the shrine in the cold area of the main skyland and 1 or 2 in the Rising Island chain up to the sky ark. Jerusalem posted:Back to looking over my map again I guess then! Top search tip: go into a sandstorm, if you've still got them. You can spot orange-centred shrines more easily, and flip between surface and depths to see where you've got a lightroot but not a matching shrine. Steve Yun posted:It’s not a fur suit. Hes not furry. He’s a lizard. I’m not a furry. Sorry, but that's not a lizard tail... (I do like how the outfit's 3 parts are boar/owl/dragon though.)

Who is the ruler of boars anyway. I assumed the ruler of dragons was Rauru and the ruler of owls was Minnie, but I don't know that

I assumed the ruler of dragons was Rauru and the ruler of owls was Minnie, but I don't know that Rauru's pectoral and Mineru's forehead thingy both look pretty owly to me. Ed though after careful examination of the loincloth (ahem) dragon and owl are alike enough to make it hard to figure out. I think middle one is owl and matches Min, and top one is dragon with the eyelashes and matches Rauru. Runcible Cat fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Jul 14, 2023 |

I would really love a complete revamp to the armor system. I wish special skills like being able to swim up waterfalls and such were conferred by trinkets/amulets/rings/whatever and armor just had passives related to combat. I also really wish there was a quick swap between armor sets. In the current system there's just too much junk and it's too tedious to upgrade so I just wear my highest level armor all the time and put one piece on of whatever biome-resistant armor I need at the time.

The last few Ys games did the whole material economy better to the point that VIII was an action RPG with no money, as it took place on a desert island. You could exchange low-level materials for high, and vice-versa, which makes the system in these two games look amateurish. One thing I'd add is an auto-pickup toggle.

Finished the fire temple and now I have them all complete. Felt like the fire temple was the one you're really supposed to break over your knee. Sure you can do mine cart madness but why? You can do ascend/wind power shenanigans instead. Yunobo even rewarded me with a such a huge fist bump Jack Garland himself would nod at in approval. Did the Hyrule castle part too and that was fun. Bonus heart container was unexpected! Got the destroy ganondorf quest now. I'm only at 115 shrines so I got work to do before I end this Goty easy.

There's a lot of changes needed for the armor systems in BOTW and TOTK but if I could only do one small thing, I'd add an "equip set" option for selecting a piece of a set you've completed. That or making the armor window three-wide instead of five-wide, it drives me crazy when I'm looking for a set and it's halfway between two rows. It'd need some kind of thought for incomplete sets, but it'd be nice for now when I've got all 135 (!) pieces

Just finished up your second spoiler myself and yeah that was a blast, beating the poo poo out of Ganondorf's servant(s) and then having the Sages show up to have Link's back when Ganondorf tried to finish things off was great. Also in the aftermath the other characters FINALLY realized that they only have 5 of the Sages accounted for, thank gently caress!

For anyone else who also did that part early unintentionally it unlocks a short quest chain starting in Kakariko village that you might want to check out before doing the final story quest.

From what I've read, there's a great touch for the main quest at Hyrule Castle that got lost in localization: Apparently in Japanese Link uses the Adventure Log as a diary (iirc this was the case in BotW as well) and his entry for "Find Princess Zelda" indicates he wants to see her smile again. The fake Zelda gives him a mocking smirk before she reveals her true nature.

Me walking into the shrine and realizing I’m nude: “Oh hell yeah an Eventide shrine time to show off my skills as a true gamer. I don’t need my 100 heart meals or my 170 attack power sword.” I carefully look around the room and analyze the robot patrol paths, plan my use of Ascend, Fuse, Ultrahand, and Sneakstrikes to perfectly accomplish the shrine objective. *exactly 2 seconds later* Ah poo poo I’ve been detected time to kill everything with a wooden stick.

While the armor system is clunky, I do like that they let you mix and match pieces. Any other game would just have them all be one piece, you equip flame proof armor, mining armor, or whatever. I do wish they would add an option when you go to equip to have an equip button and then an "equip entire set" button.

Some of the shrines just don't really feel like they were play tested to me. The Shrine with the 3 balls you roll in a curve is one, another is the traps shrine I just did (Otak). It's called "traps" but the traps are extremely cumbersome and do time consuming to activate. I tried it a few times trying to utilize traps before I just said gently caress it and fought everything head on. Then I went online to see how people actually use the traps...only for both the videos I watched to ignore the traps and just fight everything. Don't get me wrong the game is great and I'm enjoying it. Some parts of it though make me question who tested it though

I'm trying to upgrade another elemental set, this time rubber. Any tips on gathering yellow chuchu jelly? I know they spawn in the desert, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to where, and they don't show up on Sensor+ until they pop out of the ground, at which point you're pretty much on top of them already anyway. Also the electric lizalfos tails. Those fuckers are easier to find, but they never drop the tails, they only ever drop their horns! How do I make them drop tails???

Allegedly, using weapons with the word "sword" in the name on the tail itself (such as a Sneakstrike, but anything will work as long as it's attacking the back) increase Lizalfos tail drops. Presumably you need something sufficiently sharp to chop it off cleanly

So, like, what does the Horned Statue god do with the profit he makes whenever I tamper with my essence? The bargainers tell us upfront what the poes are for, but I don't see a lot of shops where the horned god is holed up. Maybe he gives the rupees to Jerrin to buy him snacks.
