Hot drat the fire temple is fun. I'm not even sure if I'm doing it the intended way but I think that's beautiful because I'm solving things creatively without getting cheesy. I want to solve puzzles the intended way because I like zelda puzzles. But there were parts I wasn't sure what I was meant to do so I resorted to freestyle solutions like magma slabs as a platform across two tracks so I can ultrahand to transfer my cart across tracks. Or magma slabs as a ramp so I can launch Yunobo into something. When I fell all the way back to 1F I totally cheesed my way back up with an autobuilt balloon. What a great game that even the literal railway temple doesn't put the player on rails. Just do whatever you want. Awesome game

Anyone have any tips for farming these dumb elemental lizard tails? I need ice flavoured ones and I spent all night looking around the mountains and got 4... which put me on 5 total and then when I got to the great fairy I found out I need 10 for each piece so loving 30 total and then at least 15 more for the Yiga set  The extra salt in the wound is the fact that I have 28 ice lizo horns Dragonstoned fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Jul 31, 2023 |

Haven't tried a statistically significant number of times myself though. Ed, oh, and track them with the sensor too. The ones on the new Gerudo trail switch from fire to ice at night as well.

Did we discover if the "slashing weapons are more likely to give tails" rumor is true?

I would up just pelting them with fire fruit so I could cycle through the ice lizzes faster and I still got tail that way.

Docjowles posted:I finally came across the 3 ball shrine everyone loving hates (at least I assume there isn’t more than one). Maybe this is a sign of mental illness but I didn’t find it that bad? Probably took me 8-10 attempts. I’ve gotten stuck for way longer on others, like one where I had to launch a ball super far using a seesaw. A lot of people here aren't very smart

I found a shrine with a small and a large ball where you have to send them down a ramp at the end without them falling into a hole, but there seemed to be a landing spot along the way for a third, medium ball I never found. Two was enough, in any case. Not sure if that's the dreaded Three-Body Problem, but I'm glad some of these shrines have a reputation. The "rauru's blessing but with a twist" shrine was very fun. Also, spending a bunch of zonaite to summon a battery-laden flying machine to get to the Gerudo floating platform led to an... interesting encounter. Especially with the tension of "I don't have enough zonaite to come back here for a while so whatever's up here needs to be dealt with in one go."

I think the nature of the game is that there are so many litte puzzles some are going to find a pattern in your brain that you recognize and a small fraction are going to find zero purchase and be extra difficult. That's just sort of how it goes in a game with hundreds of tiny physics puzzles.

That’s not the 3 ball shrine, the 2 ball shrine is pretty easy. 3 ball shrine has 3 balls of different sizes that ask you to construct an asymmetrical axle of some kind to roll down a curved hill into a target. None of my combinations worked very well. I liked the twist Rauru shrine a lot, wish there was more of them. I liked baseball shrine, I liked curling shrine, I took the hint from the title of Courage to Fall shrine eventually. The Eventide shrines should have been longer with more varieties of enemies (not just robits) and with consumables to heal like the original Eventide. I liked the feeling of running around nude with a stick and devouring random mushrooms and bananas to try and survive a fight with a Hinox.

Agreed on the underpants shrines. The gimmick is interesting, like I found Traps last night and that seemed like a fun premise. But instead I just beat everything to death with a stick in about 3 minutes. They aren’t hard enough that you actually have to engage with the theme unless you just want to for variety. Then again the game isn’t meant to be hard so whatever.

None of my combinations worked very well. The big problem there was that you couldn't make a consistent construct with the three balls. Every time you tried it would behave a bit differently because they weren't attached at the exact same points and the center of gravity would be a bit different. So even when you knew what to do, you couldn't dial in the results. The best you could do is catch it with rewind before it goes off into the abyss so you'd have something with similar behavior to make another attempt with.

I fused one of the bookcases in hyrule castle to a spear. It was only +2 attack, I was expecting the pen to be a little mightier.

To get across the final slog of the fire temple, I ultrahand fused 16 or so slabs into a T shape that could then catch on the broken bridge. The game was starting to lag badly enough that it took like 30 minutes after the rotating kept leading to the whole fusion being dropped in lava. Truly the greatest game.

If you fuse only two balls it behaves the same every time and you can cut through the middle of the S curve.

I climbed up hebra and there was a weird lightning hole painted on the side of a mountain went inside and there was a chest behind one of those lightning temple zappo switches am i missing something? do you get something special for shooting a longshot through the hole or something? seemed like a lot of fanfare for not much stuff

A shrine used to be there in BotW that also needed you to hit the center with lightning. It's a pretty stand-out landmark so I supposed they didn't want to just delete it for TotK.

end of Geoglyph questline big spoilers: I was really hoping that before Zelda did her Thing, there'd be a montage of her painstakingly trudging to all of the future geoglyph locations to draw them, rather than her just barfing out a smattering of magic tears

This was my issue, I could see what the game wanted me to do and I could try it over and over again, and it would turn out slightly differently every time. It was my very last shrine to complete before getting the reward, late at night, and I was in that shrine on its own for at least 20 minutes before giving up to look up the answer. At the time, the answer was "we didn't solve this in time for this guide to go up, so just fuse all them shits together like a snowman and tilt it over toward the button"

I have no evidence for this. I'm guessing the upheaval made them appear seeing they seem to be magical glowy things.

What's the origin of the other dragons anyway? Are they also ancient Zonai that ate a magic rock and turned into hosed up immortal beings? And tbh mindlessly floating around the sky for millenia sounds pretty boring, I don't blame Zelda for hulk smashing a mountain just to spice things up

It might explain what happened to literally every other Zonai but Rauru and Mineru, their larger civilization collapsed as a bunch of them

Dinraal probably did it to become more powerful, Naydra probably did it for academic purposes, but Farosh definitely did it because the secret stone looked like it was sour apple flavor. Triforces of Power, Wisdom, and Dipshit respectively.

I still stand by my theory that Dinraal was the first dragon, and was just a Goron who thought the stone looked tasty. Gotta find out how that trick works somehow.

This isn't enough to confirm the theory since we don't have a lot of dragon examples to reference from but at the very least they're distinct from what Zelda and Ganondorf became, though that could also be attributed to wanting the plot-important dragons to look unique (like how Demon Dragon is massive)
