Good Lord Fisher! posted:Two-handers own for almost every purpose imaginable. Spin to win, baby Stasis+ together with spin2win is probably the way to deal the highest dps possible in this game. Two-handers are also great for cheesing enemies 1-on-1, it's just a bit tricky. The second swing will knock them back, so what you do is do a running attack, knockback, run after them, running attack, rinse repeat. They never get the chance to attack you. The best weapons in this game are spears though, they're criminally underrated  Everyone just looks at the damage stat and goes "my sword does more damage  " but what they don't take into account is the crazy reach you get and the attack speed (which is the fastest of all weapons). With a good spear you're untouchable, it's like playing easy mode.

Cojawfee posted:Does anyone else not like two handed weapons? They are nice if the one hit you can get in will kill whatever you're fighting. If it takes more than 1-2 hits, you're going to get hit back. They are just too slow to do anything. Unless I cheese stasis or ice or something, I can't hit a lizalfos with a two handed weapon. By the time Link starts swinging, the lizalfos has already jumped away. A moblin is going to hit me by the time I can get a second swing in. Even with stasis, the weapons swing so slowly I can only get a couple hits in because whatever monster it is gets punted across the field/room. I much prefer the spears and one handed swords. Most notabbly, if it's an enemy that will let you go nuts on them with the spin to win. Sneaking up on a sleeping Hinox and snacking on your favorite offense buff will let you kill Blue Hionx with a reasonable weapon like a knight claymore so fast, the music only starts to kick in while they are exploding. Or leave a Black Hinox just shy of death anyway. Im sure ones with double metal leg armor could put a cramp in this plan, but still. But a lot of the time, their just plain slow attack speed leaves me wishing for a one hander. They are great if you have some gimmicks that let you get their full potential out, like enemies who won't dodge away from you knocking their shields aside. Or will get sent sprawling on the second hit without dodging at the last second (loving lizard people  ). But if it's something that will tank the hits well, and won't let you safely spin to win spam them? Might as well switch to a one hander even if it's a bit weaker, just for swing speed. (When it comes to normal, non flurry/non QTE attack spam).Your Computer posted:The best weapons in this game are spears though, they're criminally underrated The reason I hardly ever have a spear on me, is because any time I get my hands on the average spear it's used nonstop until there is no more spear  I am convinced the reason "Enhanced" Lizalfos spears have such low damage and durability compared to their other high end gear, is they know what will happen if I got my hands on one. I'm already taking every chance I get to kill lizard people by throwing their own boomerang blades at them as it is.Kite Pride Worldwide posted:Are there any indestructible items or weapons? I imagine the Master Sword is, but anything else? I can understand why I don't hear it brought up when it comes to shields. Because it's hard being second best. But I like the other thing I just got, and my windfall of three royal broadswords in rapid succession a while back has depleted itself. Wishlisting, it would be nice if we could cash in diamonds or something to turn normal weapons into the "Durable" prefix. I miss my hard working Durable Soldier's bow sticking around as I blew through golden sniper bows and more fancy pants quick shot knights bows, etc. Section Z fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Mar 18, 2017 |

One of the best things you can do is is equip a two-hander with max stamina and spend an entire fight spinning around like a maniac.

How do you guys handle small fry that you could take on but don't want to waste your weapons on? Bombs take too long on some enemies, and they don't drop good enough weapons to justify using even just a soldier's broadsword on them.

I mean.. does the game ever make you fight small fry? I don't run into a lot of them since my main mode of transport is mountain climbing (and gliding), and when I see a camp in the way I usually find the nearest tall structure and just glide past them instead of fighting them Combat is surprisingly optional in this game.

Did anyone actually bother to upgrade their shield or bow capacity before maxing out weapons? I never did and I never felt like I didn't have enough shields or bows. Edit: Come to think of it I used shields so seldomly I only ever broke one once when trying out parrying guardian beams. Republicans fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Republicans posted:Edit: Come to think of it I used shields so seldomly I only ever broke one once when trying out parrying guardian beams. Yeah, same. Which is weird, because shields are incredibly powerful in this game. No matter how ridiculous the attack (like giant death lasers) it will always block the full attack. Of course, dodging and parrying is perhaps even more powerful so I end up just never using my shield and I've never seen anyone else use theirs either. It's just another fashion accessory to me

Republicans posted:Did anyone actually bother to upgrade their shield or bow capacity before maxing out weapons? I never did and I never felt like I didn't have enough shields or bows. I'm hardly at max weapons, but I did kind of stagger my supply so I wasn't so cramped. Four shields is basically nothing, so I made sure I had 5 shields after my first couple weapon upgrades. Then I splurged on six Shields/Bows once I had filled in my weapon slots a few times at Hestu's second location. Once I got a nice rounded out 15 weapon slots, and more would cost like 25 seeds or something, I took a break to bump up my bows and shields again to eight and eight. Which seems like a nice comfortable number to last me ages as I begin to wonder how I'm ever going to find enough seeds for my 17th weapon slot without a wiki. The desire for more shields goes up when you are not mister perfect "Oh, I NEVER botch a parry  " and start taking the fight to Guardians more often, but also want a couple wood shields on hand for thunderstorms. I suppose not having the Hylean shield yet also skews my opinions So yes, my shield supply often goes from "I've got four pristine knight shields! Everything will be fine!" to blowing through half my shields in quick succession and being glad I had the spares.Once specialty bows started ending up more common, I wanted more space to keep my fancy sniper zoom bows handy alongside the normal bows, and tipple shot bow for special "Oh gently caress  " occasions.

I guess I'm just boring because my plan of action is to run up things and hit them until they die. If they get saucy i hit them with stasis. Shields just seem unnecessary and bows always last a good while so five is more than enough. I finished the game with five five-shot savage lynel bows.

Tonight I made it to the Labyrinth Island, which was just as awesome as the first Labyrinth, and filled with a shitload of treasure: A Great Flameblade up a side passage covered in thorns on the stairs up to the shrine All 6 pillars in the main room are hollow, and 2 have chests inside with Bomb arrows and 100 rupees There's a goddamn Diamond Circlet in the basement. I won't tell you how to get down there but it's one of the creepier, cooler places I've been so far

Wildtortilla posted:The hardest thing about guardians is locking onto them. I'd say my game has a fifty fiftychance of locking onto a guardian. I have never locked onto a flying guardian. I'm getting sick of being blasted into oblivion without being able to parry these beams. You don't have to be locked on to parry the beams. I've found it easier to put the camera at an angle so I can see the beam moving horizontally instead of directly towards you. It's much easier for judging distance.

I do enjoy this game but good lord who thought it would be a good idea to give Zelda a fake English accent, its just flat out bad, everyone else sounds fine compared however, aside from this my only other complaint is the final boss being lame, not Calamity Ganon but his final form, its just a let down. Game's otherwise been pretty fun aside from these 2 mortal sins.

Locke Dunnegan posted:The windows are vastly different from enemy to enemy. For Bokoblins you can do it seemingly anywhere in their attack animations, but for things like Lynels or Lizalfos I'm finding that I need to basically dodge extremely close to being hit to get it to trigger. Lynels have the additional issue where if they do the charge sweeping attack that requires a backflip, the camera pans to the side to let the Lynel pass, so pushing Down + B causes a side jump instead of a backflip due to the quick camera jerk and I get hit. I need to check the options to see if they have a setting for absolute directional control instead of relational control like in Monster Hunter, because as it is I'm doing what the game wants me to do to be rewarded and I'm being punished instead. I don't quite understand why the game wouldn't have 'Down + B' always do a backflip regardless of facing when you are locked on, as you then have no control of the camera changing the camera's orientation compared to Link's facing in close quarters. It seems like an oversight. Yeah, the camera controls can be arse, especially the fixed camera distance when you're trying to face something or look at something and a sail or whatever decides to stick itself between your POV and it. Nostalgia4Dogges posted:1. Are there any elemental weapons I should be saving or anything or always have on hand? I guess or course a ice/fire one to equip for associated climates. I know you can get more 1. Elemental weapons are always fun, never essential. Shock arrows in the rain are especially fun. 2. Ancient parts upgrade the Slate and the ancient gear, no other armour that I remember. You definitely want the Slate upgrades at least. 3. Any fairy can upgrade armour to any level given the correct parts, depending on how many of them you've unlocked. One can boost armour one step, once 2 are unlocked either of them can boost armour to 2-star etc. 4. You'll need 13 hearts for plot reasons. 5. Exercise is good for you!

Oh dear, I've been living and breathing this game since it came out and it has absolutely destroyed my ability to play other games I booted up Dark Souls 3 to see if I had any saves that would be good for the DLC that's coming out for it, and I couldn't remember how to play at all even though I've put hundreds and hundreds of hours into DS. My mind is just in BotW mode.

Because it's the best video game. It will still take me a while to finish BotW though, I'm trying not to rush it so I still have only done two of the divine beasts... argh, choices!

Sometimes I get mad at Link when he, for example, tries to climb as I try to run away from something but accidentally brush a wall. He just grabs on and I go, "Link, no, let go, what are you doing" Unrelated edit: Please bring back the grappling hook in the next Zelda. Yeah, we're not in the year of the grappling hook anymore, but Breath of the Wild did such great things to a lot of the usual open world design tropes and I'd love to see that amount of freedom and flexibility applied to a grappling hook.

Unless you're going for 100% completion, there's no need to bounce around doing every single korok puzzle you can find. I've only found 60 so far and I feel pretty comfortable with my inventory size (and for reference, I've found 90 shrines and also completed the main story by now, so I missed a ton of koroks).

If not, double-check and make sure you've done all his quests, including the one non-shrine one and the shrine quest with the five singing bird girls in the Rito village. I think you also need to read his diary, right above the blood moon shrine. If still not, then that would be a really annoying quirk to his quest and I would be very sad.
