So after roaming the land and doing most of the shrines I'm finally investigating some Regional Phenomena. For my first two, I did the Rito Village and the Zora village. The reward for the first is pretty helpful, but I'm struggling to see much use for the second. Tulin can extend my air travel time, which comes in handy everywhere! And he seems to get critical shots on a fairly frequent basis. I can even ignore weak enemies like chuchus and let him take care of them. Sidon, on the other hand... doesn't seem to fight unless I very deliberately ignore an enemy strong enough to survive a couple of Tulin's arrow volleys, and I've not spotted anything to do with the water shot. Am I not thinking creatively enough (or not finding the relevant spots) to make use of him? Just a yes/no to "is there something I'm missing" is fine if detailing his uses would spoil something else.

Ah, thanks. I totally forgot about that; I’d only seen one weapon of that type, from a side quest I did for a villager like twelve play hours ago. I try to read the weapon traits since some of them are pretty good, but I’m not sure I ever noticed that one in the first place.

Am I the only one who finds the boss Queen Gibdos a huge pain to fight? It really feels like just a big “gently caress you if you didn’t buy the sand movement boots”, everything is just a little too fast to dodge, especially in phase 2. And I really don’t feel like going to grind out a thousand rupees as a prerequisite to this fight. I also really wish the range on Riju’s lightning was centered on Link. It feels like I don’t fully control whether the boss is in range or not, and it already likes to hover away at the very edge of a viable shot. Is there some kind of a trick to this?

No Wave posted:Ignore Riju and hit queenie with your own source of lightning like an electro chu jelly. I struggled through it before I ended up reading this, but this is definitely the advice I could've used. I got super fed up with waiting for the lightning range to extend, and then having to start over because by the time it grows the queen moves. I'll keep it in mind for the re-fights! (because goddamnit I just realized I forgot to take a snapshot) Didn't realize a light beam caused damage, either, so I totally whiffed on using the light shafts. No idea why watching the babies walk into it and melt didn't make me think "well maybe this hurts the queen????"  Thanks! Akratic Method fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Aug 9, 2023 |

Man, saving Lurelin was one of the first things I did. It was kinda fun to sneak around and murk the enemies one by one despite still having the base 4 hearts. Climbing up places and dropping things on them, baiting the boss bokoblin into throwing his buddies into the ocean. Also was a good trial by fire on flurry rushing. e: but I get the impression there's more to the questline there besides just wiping the pirates and building the houses again. (Don't spoil me on it though; I'll find the rest eventually)

I'm gonna guess Jeopardy. Also, I appreciate this game's permissive approach to sequence breaking. I just finished with the (not-quite-end stuff) Fifth Sage quest. Except I did it almost entirely by accident. I'd found the Spirit Temple a while ago just being thorough about the Depths, and had gotten fed up trying to guess what I had to do to make it open, so I decided to gently caress off, hop a fanplane and see what's in that big storm. Ended up finding the Minimum Hearts Required door, and curiosity finally made me break my stubborn refusal to buy heart containers. (I'd filled my third stamina wheel then just accumulated 72 Lights, and was mostly enjoying playing the "just never get hit lol" version of combat that made healing and armor upgrade materials farming pleasantly irrelevant.) That obviously got me into the temple, etc. I looked up how you're supposed to do the quest later, and apparently learning about the island in the storm is the payoff for the whole Ring Ruins thing? Maybe I'll go back to Karariko and see how weird the dialogue is now that Link is just constantly like "yeah, I know" to everything we learn. By the way, can the storm be cleared? I'd like to go back and search around more for treasure and stuff, but the ultra-low visibility is super annoying. Makes it hard to tell how many islets there even are, let alone whether I've hit them all.

Hey, that approach works on real life tanks, so v  v Eat tandem warheads, loser!And thanks! I'll go back and talk to them. I'm glad I don't have to clean up the rest of that island steering by sensor alone. Although full Miner Gear and a variety of sensor targets made it shockingly non-impossible. Also, now that you tell me this, there's either a weird choice or small bug when you stumble on it like me: when you first get the mask and open the lower doors to follow the beam, the weather is perfectly clear, and then it sort of remembers it was supposed to be stormy if you try to go up and look around to see what was revealed.

Well, I finally found where I can trade in bubbulgems. At the end of the game, with enough to just dump them all on the table and buy everything. Loving the hair on this hat, though. I suppose I'll see how many more I can rustle up while finishing the shrines, but is the result of getting all of them cool/useful/funny enough to consider consulting a guide to grab the remainder? I would accept extremely an weird cut scene even if there's no equipment prize.

Cojawfee posted:In lookout landing, there is a person who tells you about three world mini bosses. Once you kill them, he tells you about others and gives medals I think. God I had no idea how much I'd missed in Lookout Landing. I went there, got the paraglider and the camera, and then hosed off forever. I only learned about the ancient tablets quest and the respec statue from the Game Grumps videos. And then I found that whole massive cavern with its own armor set plus a stalnox to fight, and still there's this whole other quest person I hadn't noticed. I also didn't find Hestu there until like 50 hours into the game. Gonna have to go back there and really thoroughly speak to everyone. Also, speaking of the ancient tablets quest: early on I noticed the little flower shaped islands and marked them all (so I'd remember which ones I touched and made the tablets fall to earth), so that was quick and easy. But the one above Lookout Landing, which presumably dropped the tablet that starts the quest, doesn't appear to exist. I put a pin on it, and can't spot the pin at all. I flew to where it's supposed to be, and can't reach or spot anything. Is that a map island that just isn't real?

Inferior Third Season posted:Was the giant magical mystery cloud surrounding the entire forest not a clue that something is probably going on there, and maybe you should try to get in somehow? Honestly, I spent almost the whole game thinking that was there just because gently caress it, it's the lost woods, I probably need to know that I go west south east south or whatever the gently caress magic sequence. I messed around with it some early on, found I couldn't do anything, got tired of spooky noise saying you cant' walk that way, and then didn't come back until the Koroks start pestering you to go up there, which I think is a nearly endgame change. I'd already picked up the sword and never played BotW so I didn't know about that association anyway (or that the cloud is purpler this game). Also, it never occurred to me that it's possible to have a challenge finding the light dragon. It shows up when you trigger the fresh new dragon's tear post-geoglyph, right? I just immediately teleported to an island above that tear and dropped down, easy-peasy. And I wore the Ravio hat during the cutscene, which was objectively correct, though I would also accept the korok mask or one of kilton's lovely disguises. But I guess if you didn't ever go to that island then you're a bit screwed and have to hunt around. I just got weirdly obsessed with hunting around the sky and depths, and had the depths map nearly complete for except the fiery bits before I touched a temple. Actually I neglected the service and looking at the hero's path there's still empty parts I've just never been to or near, despite having all the shrines marked by finding the light roots beneath.

Is there a good quick way to get rupees? I built a house thinking I could find another piece of flamebreaker armor somewhere, and apparently I cannot (is that my failure, or there isn't one in a chest?) and must buy it for $lots. I know you can hunt wizzrobes and sell gems, but faster than walking around the world to find them one at a time would be nice. By the way, is it just me or do prices in this game seem to assume you do a lot of farming? I've played for like 50-odd hours and the only armor set I can afford to upgrade to level 2 is the mining set. Never mind the 200 rupees/part labor fee for level 3. It makes me feel like I'm missing something obvious or haven't played the intended way. Or is collecting and upgrading lots of the armor basically expected to be only for insane people who have nothing but time to kill the two Captain 3 drones in Typhlo and then sit around waiting for a blood moon? e: excellent snipe

Did not know about the flint eater! I've always used fire fruits (or the fire temple reward) to light fires on the rare occasions it's needed, so I've got plenty of flint to try my luck with. Turning poes into money via armor is a good idea as well. Hopefully those should carry me through, especially since I don't really feel the need to buy most armor if I'm realistically never going to be able to upgrade it. I'll slog through getting the Fierce Deity set up a couple levels (or not and go the "just don't get hit lol" route) and that'll be my adventure in armor upgrades.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:Also, the scene in the trailer where Link joins a bunch of people fighting the monsters in front of the last stand gates near that stable hasn't happened, even though I've kicked said monster's asses... is that coming later? The spoilered side quest happened for me when I was just wandering around that area on the side coming from central Hyrule. Look for a group of people, one mounted. You might also find a couple tents and one person with a fire and a cooking pot, who will tell you which direction to look. Assuming I'm correctly understanding what you mean by "the last stand gates" that is. I didn't see the trailer you're talking about.

I explored so much of the world through the method of "glide from the highest-altitude sky island" that I already had both an awareness of exactly where to start to get to high-altitude goals, the shrine available to teleport there immediately, and other tools to get around in the sky. But it's possible the target already altitude lowers some when you reach end game, because I had reached the point where the Main Story Quest is just "go kill the boss". Has anyone tried getting the Sword without doing any prerequisite quests? Like on a second playthrough when you know exactly where it is, can you just fly out there and grab it?

GATOS Y VATOS posted:I tried out the Satori armor that you get from Kilton's brother to see what the whole "takes rupees instead of hearts when you get hit" thing was like and when a silver bokoblin nailed me with a club it took over 250 rupees and lol nope. Yeah, the price of protection is so high that it amounts to "just don't get hit" at which point I may as well wear a fun mobility armor or something. But it really does look awesome and I wear it around towns or when I'm searching safe-ish areas. e: also to retract my prior complaints about scarce rupees, the issue was with my believing I could eventually get everything upgraded, so I'd been hoarding gems. Sold half my hoard to the Gerudo trader and now I have like 10K so let that be a lesson: don't bother upgrading most of your armor and definitely sell the stuff you don't need for your chosen set(s). And yes, even with that many rupees, 250 per hit is too pricey to wear the satori armor into a fight. Akratic Method fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Aug 28, 2023 |

Muddle buds are great because you can just toss one on the strongest enemy and let him wipe all the weaker ones. There are hardly any enemies that are a threat completely alone, because you can just knock them over with a claymore and then bully them in a corner until they die. It's so easy it makes me feel kinda bad. but also yeah I agree enemies have way too much health. If I have a high damage (60+ is my threshold here; I guess mock me if that's actually terrible) weapon then I feel like things shouldn't survive a second flurry rush. It makes fighting things feel like a waste of weapons and I feel guiltily inefficient when I do fighting myself instead of kiting enemies through the sages until they make the kill, which takes forever because, again, way too much health. I wish bombs did more damage. It feels cool and fun to dump TNT barrels or bomb arrows into a camp, but it seems to barely tickle enemies above blue.

It definitely doesn't loose durability when fighting Phantom Ganon, because I fought the whole crowd of those that shows up in Hyrule Castle and it never ran out of energy but if I recall right it did against a temple boss once.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:While searching for the last shrines I found 2 tiiiiiny spots in the underworld that are not light up- which is baffling because I've activated all the lightroots as far as I can tell? I have to go check them out. It gives you a little prize when you get all the lightroots, so if you didn't get a pop-up thing saying so, you don't have all the lightroots. And the last couple have a pretty small dark area (the radii overlap and the map is revealed if any of them are activated). So I suspect that you actually have two lightroots remaining.

The thing that really got me about ToTK builds is that the strong enemies could just roar at them and vaporize them. Like, I’d love to sit around and dream up a tank that can fight a dragon, but it just erases constructs in a single move. So do the lynels. I think discovering that was the only time I really got mad at the game.
