This is a good LP. My only wish is that I didn't see this until much much later. Now I gotta wait for videos to come out and can't binge watch the game.

Also, what was the shiny object under the tree with the korok?

That Korok is going to grab that thing up so fast and take matters into his own hand... er, branches.

Another Korok is definitely hiding the giant gear and keeping it for itself.

One of the most important lessons in this game for me is that cows and buffalo are a losers game, the real source of premium BBQ fodder are the wolves and coyotes beyond Hyrule field.

They are so thoughtful about bunching up to bomb them all at once, too.

I liked that Korok variety on the big bridge. One arrow gimmick, one just in the fountain at the midway, one with that ridiculous carny game-esque thing to toss rocks into, and then the absolutely insane one where you spider-man around the underside of the place.

No, you cannot. But you can bring a lot of different animals to the stable and they all have different reactions! For Stalhorses, they freak out and say something like "Wait, that's not a horse! That's a MONSTER!".

Notably, you can also change the element of chu jelly by just whacking it with an elemental weapon. The chu doesn't have to be alive. Whenever I need a different type, I just drop a bunch of the blue jelly in my inventory on the ground and attack it with fire/ice/electricity until I've got a sufficient amount of the correct kind.

Ease of dismemberment is always why I love to keep at least one ancient weapons handy :allears: Even if you have a weapon the does like, four times the damage and can even cut off their legs in two swings, can't beat chopping them off in ONE swing for on demand stuns.

I've lost track of how often when using stronger swords that can chop their legs off in two swings, they would back off or I'd just miss their hitbox. And now you have a guardian charging it's laser while moving away from you at full speed on two legs and no I'm not wasting an arrow to stun you get back here :argh:

Don't be like me and dump so many chu on the ground you lose most of them from despawning, and then blowing up half the remains :downs: At least, not when you only have barley enough chu jelly to upgrade the equipment you want if you can convert 90% of it.

Yup. While as the game goes on it is much easier to get nice weapons than it is getting your hands on upscaled guardian stuff. Even a little baby low damage guardian sword will chop those legs off in one shot.

I loving love details like that. Guardian weapons have less durability than other stuff, but it gives even the most basic guardian weapons a nice convenient niche all game even when you have a backpack full of chromed out swords with several affix effects. It's also saved my rear end when my only strong weapon on me at the time unexpectedly went kaput in the middle of fighting multiple guardians.

It's also the quirks like that which made me not mind the durability system (so long as you actually know how to upgrade your inventory rather than realize you missed it 10 hours later :v:). Keeping a hammer on you so you can break 30 rocks instead of 5 of em, etc... If not for the last step of enemy pallet swaps crossing the line into annoying meatwall territory. I 180 from being just fine with the durability system, to rolling my eyes at it for those fucks.

I know it was only briefly shown, so I won't go into details, but I 100% agree that Lynels are harder than overworld bosses. That said, Lynels are also infinitely more satisfying to absolutely no-sell with perfect dodges, and if you can git gud and pull those off reliably, they're... Not too difficult to down.

They actually grabbed it this episode, out of that shrine of power.

Seems like the guardian weapons were actually more useful loot, though, but it makes sense. Only giant robot can cut giant robot.

This is demonstrably true, if you're good with parrying.

As far as climbing during the rain is concerned, I've had some success with climbing 4 or 5 handholds and then jumping. I mean, you immediately slide down, like you'd expect, but you get a lot further than you would simply climbing or jumping by itself.

As far as I know, perfect parrying a laser will not damage a shield. Anything less than a perfect parry, though, will probably straight up break the shield.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

One of the main reasons people think the blood moon is their glitch correction response is because if you leave the game on for an extended period of time (just putting it to sleep rather than turning the system off) you'll start getting repeated blood moons at any time of day. Which sounds like some memory leak overflow thing. Also the moon in general makes sense as a memory cleanup device.

E: and the music in the castle rules all sorts of things. It borrows leitmotifs from something like 5 or 6 classic themes.
