Sydin posted:So I've only done the wind and fire temples but both of them effectively being timers because of their environmental effects sucks. Oh you only brought four resist potions and couldn't solve the dungeon in 30 minutes? Eat poo poo and die I guess. If you've got the ingredients but don't have the meal, use one of the one use zonai cooking pots. I always have a full inventory of meals specifically because it's still funny to me how much of a cheat code tier 3 defense and good armor is, but I ran out too where you did and just ducked into a covered room to cook up another 12 minutes worth edit - it helped in that case that there's a spicy pepper bush every 5 feet for the first 10 hours of the game

Popped into a cave that ended up being enormous, and ended with a pillar suspicious enough I ascended through it, ended up in a nightmare PTSD room from the first game, barely made it out alive ascending again through a pillar with 1 heart left, and into the middle of a labyrinth. 1 rocket jump and a bit of walking and looking down later it's solved, and my reward is - in part - an easier way to access the nightmare hell room. What a game this is, holy poo poo. BotW's combat and weapons systems were very clearly rough drafts for a masterpiece of a final product now. Still finding fun new combinations, like how boomerangs are great now and no amount of rupees is worth more than what a topaz can do offensively. Thanks to like 500 hours in Elden Ring I'm also a lot better with two-handed weapons and just better in general since BotW/TotK combat is essentially carefully fishing for a stagger and then going apeshit

Ogmius815 posted:Would I be crazy for mostly dismissing the ghost things? I don’t like seeing them around all the time. I'm the same, I wish I could dismiss them but still have access to their power. The one I've got at least is pretty useful in a fight but I'm having the same issues I had in Elden Ring where just enough of the time they make the enemies behave unpredictably which gets on my nerves because by the time I got it I didn't actually need help in most fights anymore. You can activate them while in the air so I just keep it off and turn it on as needed. I also keep thinking it's an enemy sneaking up on me lol Heavy Metal posted:I'm open to being sold on it. But you can use monster parts in elixers or sell them for cash. Why use a horn for plus 8 damage or whatever when I have a zillion comparable weapons lying on the ground for parts? It's just like any other resource now, if you're getting a lot use them freely and if it's high damage and rare be more selective. My bread and butter weapon this playthrough has been just sticking a construct horn on whatever polearm I find laying around because as a weapon it is rock solid because even small damage boosts are big when you attack 155 times per second at incredible range, and also I get loads of horns so if I've got to toss it I'm not going to sweat it. Horns add so much damage and drop from drat near everything that it definitely feels like fusing is their primary purpose. Killing any constructs you see also has the side effect of having lots of charges to turn into zonai devices. Killing the hoarder in my brain was hard work but it's been very rewarding since 99% of the time it's faster to just get more of X resource in the off-chance you run out than it is to not use it when you need it, especially since you can save scum so it's not like a Souls thing where you can just lose it and still need to do the fight.

Ran into my first Lynel in the depths just now and by god, they're actually kind of fun to fight nowRandolphCarter posted:Some enemy complaints: silver bokoblins seem to have a billion health, and the talus with their weak points on there backs suck polearm with a smashing type horn on it is my go-to for the annoying taluses, you've got the reach to actually hit it from both the ground and on top of it, and you typically have time to fully charge it before it knocks you off so it does a crapload of damage Any regular mob that's giving me trouble gets the ice sword, ice is just insanely powerful and the frost breath lizalos horns seem to last a good while, though it's not like ice fruit is rare

RandolphCarter posted:Can someone repost the video of this? I can’t get this right and need to rewatch it. I ended up just putting two fans down side by side and rotating the control panel 45 degrees between them, the only real trick is ensuring the panel itself is actually in line with the first fan and that both fans are connected in the same spot in the same way on their side. It'll be 10+ minutes of being thrown around wildly but of all the setups I found this one easiest because there's only one fiddly part. I'll try to find a video of someone doing it how I did if somebody else doesn't first

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Same but now it’s making me want to focus on building more cells because I want all the energy for all the flying. Good news then about how much easier exploring the Depths is with one! I'm still perfecting a ground vehicle with an emphasis on it being cheap to build, but in the process of doing so I've amassed a huge amount of zoanite lol. I only use the large for energy cells since the return on the smalls is so bad and they make building easier but that may have to change Khanstant posted:I got all the Poe armor so I'm just saving up Poes for the boss run and I'll buy the whole set of Legacy Weapons to fuse good parts to. I started to really like 2 handers when I started treating them like a Souls game and made sure to always open with a sprinting attack or jumping attack, both of which come out quick and ready your weapon for the spin to win

A roomba with a construct head with 5 beam emitters is shockingly lethal for how silly it looks, and only at the cost of a bit more than two of the fan segways. Does every part of an autobuild just cost 3 zoanite except the batteries?

Pro-tips for any flight enthusiasts I've heard or discovered for myself exploring the depths - 1) I've found the bicycle dual fan scooter setup to be a bit better than the segway style one, but it's also quite possible that it's just that I built that one a bit better. Both are good but if you're actually wanting to explore or collect resources, a tricycle of 3 small wheels with a control stick on top is 100x better 2) If you just hit X but don't move from the control stick you won't take damage on the landing, thought this often requires nerves of steel in the Depths, and 3) If you've got a lot of momentum, after you hit X use Recall on your ride then immediately cancel it. It kills all momentum and you'll drop straight down. Has made keeping the same one for awhile a lot easier. You can also do this to cheese some puzzles

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Are there any good elixir recipes I should know about? haven't really experimented much with those or could really tell what to toss in to make a good one. The only really fancy one I use is 2 high quality meat and 3 of the sunblooms, which will first heal your corrupted hearts and then heal them as normal hearts, fantastic space saver for the Depths. Beyond that I always have my prepared meals tab full but it's always "what do I need? 5 of that please"

Neddy Seagoon posted:For the Deku Tree Hands, and Hands in general; I've killed a few now and have had a lot of success with frost for phase 1, the hands freeze easily and it chunks them, and you freeze multiple at once which keeps them from grabbing you. Phantom Ganon does indeed go down swiftly to a polearm with a good horn on it, on account of that weapon typing being by far the most powerful thing in the game lol

I like the story, but I'm a sucker for the stuff that annoys people and consider most of it including the disjointed way you're likely to discover things that happened a staple of the time fuckery genre in the same way that you know you're gonna see some badass pistols when you pick up something that's cyberpunk. Everything else is just the merry tales of the beautiful idiots that are the Hylians

Those puff mushrooms are incredibly powerful, I'm making short work of camps of silver enemies even by dropping onto them and opening with a puffball, killing 3/4 of them, then blitzing down the big guard that most of the time still can't even find me. It's not entirely foolproof though when you can't see the explosives strewn about the place

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:Remember to strap every crazy thing you come across to your weapon just in case So far every dumb rear end idea I've thought up has worked and worked well, it's incredible. I keep 2 smashers and 2 choppers at all times and beyond that I just pick up whatever and slap something on it and it works. Even if the combo kind of sucks it doesnt matter because arrow fusions are even more busted than weapon ones

I've killed probably 15 Hinox now and still only 2 guts. I don't like the look of the only other armor with that much defense but I just got the set and it seems like a much easier farm lolHawkperson posted:Man I really should not have leveled up my mobs so much before thinking about tackling Lurelin Open with a puff mushroom and a bunch of backstabs, makes things waaaaay easier and I've had much better success with it than with the muddlebuds. Arrow fusions are insanely strong and getting in the habit of using them whenever the opportunity presents itself will make things nice and easy again. A nice thing is you can just buy them for Poe so you can go crazy with them. The throw attack on a sapphire fused magic rod is also a freeze nuke which is crazy powerful and a good cheap oh poo poo button, and magic rods are buyable as well Once you can put silver bokoblins down with ease things get a lot easier, their horns as as silly as they are powerful and you get a lot so you can just slap them on everything

Finally finished the 2nd dungeon, the Fire Temple, and I really like that the devs seemingly intentionally let you think like a Goron or think like a Link. Being able to just ignore the mine cart part and instead spend probably even more time climbing and ascending to get around them made it a lot more fun. New sage has made me appreciate Tulin more, with how he keeps a distance and his power can be activated remotely So far I've liked the dungeons but I also view the "dungeon" as more than just the final location, which just like in BotW they're a bit underwhelming in the same way a classic zelda dungeon would be if it was just the part where you're about to bring the pillars down and confront the boss. IMHO it starts when you get the dungeon gimmick tool.

Just realized that the only Lynels I've run across so far have been the armored silver gloom ones in the depths. Kinda curious if I just skipped straight to the hardest variant and the rest are gonna be piss easy now, or if there is a surprise yet in store for me. These fuckers take a lot of killing I tell you what.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:yes Yeah armor isnt hard at all in my experience, but I'm also a mega caveman and always have half my inventory as two handed hammers despite polearms being the clear winner in terms of power. It's mostly my completely inability to side dodge and their health pool that make them a challenge for me Did manage to independently confirm that their AI isnt so great if you're just spinning to win at their side at their hind legs.

Nihonniboku posted:Love Subnautica, and have hundreds of hours into it and the sequel. But the swimming sucks in the game, it's why they introduce vehicles almost immediately. And it's first person. Yeah that's how you make a good swimming game, which is the same way you make a good open world game - fun traversal options where their removal is a deliberate zone or encounter choice. We've already got a shrine that lets you do buoyancy stuff, it's coded into the game in some capacity, give us a Terror from the Deep DLC where we're piloting a submarine to clear Zonai cruise ships of gloom lobster men with a temple on the ocean floor!

Yeah considering she's basically the Hyrule equivalent of a lady wearing a ripped up "I'D RATHER BE REBUILDING A MAGITECH ENGINE" t-shirt, a deep woods Appalachia accent would've been fantastic. She travels the lands talking food and ranching to anybody she shares a campfire with and when given a choice, lives in a well because it's good enough. She's got a real hillbilly core that should get some time in the sun. I didn't mind the Goron's VA much but I did keep hearing "WHY'D YOU DO THAT?" which, well, fair. Mostly whenever a cast has a big variety of accents versus "everybody is Welsh", I just wait until I hear my good pal Bender "Bending" Rodriguez and get sad if I don't

sonatinas posted:What’s the optimal 2 fan traveling build? Mine keep on being uncontrollable. Maybe my alignment is off. I guess I can spend more than 5 min experimenting. The air bike setup is best I think, but either option is fiddly to get just right. It's worth spending 10-15 minutes getting it perfect because you can save it I'm actually having a lot more trouble getting a good ATV going. The obvious options are all more than I'd like to spend per build given that it's going to despawn if you move more than 10 feet from it but getting a good stabilizer+big wheel+control stick setup going has been tricky to say the least

Just do a couple rounds of animal slaughter around the stable near the Rito, almost everything there drops gourmet meat and 5 of those cooked up sells for 315 rupees. Gems are actually useful for things now so I haven't sold hardly any. Diamonds are how I replace my favorite bow. You can also sell the prime meat you get for a bit less but a still solid amount but I usually keep it for filling my inventory with healing meals

Going to the Depths to play Monster Hunter for a bit is by far the best way to upgrade batteries, and also just fun in general. Combat and enemy variety went from one of my least favorite things in the original to one of my favorites here, crazyHappy Noodle Boy posted:The hell they ain’t: The nice thing about boring high defense armor is that it's way easier to upgrade, defense is insanely good at high levels, and I have like 200 bananas I can use for an attack buff any time I like. The only annoyances with the two highest armor sets is drop rates on one (but it's an enemy you see a hundred of) and enemies with the parts will become a lot less common over time with the other (but you get the parts on weapons and can still find them easy enough). The 2nd set here is probably almost too good but it looks stupid Compare that to farming dragons even with a dupe glitch...no thanks lol. I've been playing around with gloom resist and it's actually really nice. When you need it you tend to need it bad so I always keep 1-2 max level foods on me.
