Tokelau All Star posted:Gloom hands scared the hell out of me early game. Seeing the sages mob up on them to give me time to start flinging bomb flowers was a great moment in emergent storytelling. I've been putting a skull on the map every time I find one, originally it was to mark for myself "don't loving go here or youll die" but now it means "come here to kill this thing after every blood moon"  Is there an easy place to get swallow bows or bows in general without fighting? My dad is avoiding fights because he's not great at them (I will inevitably clear some things for him) but he's needing easy bows for hunting and farming animal/critter drops. And I need swallow bows for the one repeatable bow quest

Drop a spring on the ground -> put a rocket on your shield -> jump on the spring and then rocket shield It's how I've been dealing with Gleeoks when they hit that last third of their health bar. I can never seem to damage rush them fast enough  E: wait, no, that doesn't work does it. I need to go fight one tonight and double check what I've been doing bawk fucked around with this message at 20:38 on May 31, 2023 |

Augus posted:the ceiling in those rooms is too low for them to get out of reach of ascend Does taking out individual heads help with them overlapping before you're able to get them all? Because I remember having one hell of a time with the one on the lake hylia bridge and the one in the coliseum, when you would get an updraft it would already be overlapping that with another attack. I know I have some gizmo thing for big vertical movement using zonai devices but the fight I finished last night was at 1:30, so I don't remember what discount Revali's Gale I used.

Electric Phantasm posted:Make sure you're finding the journals in their hideouts my favorites are the ones where they gave their vehicles ridiculous names like GLOOMDOOM MK III or some poo poo and the one where Yiga seemed to have died testing their vehicles which gave me Metroid Prime Space Pirate Science Team vibes. Spoilers for the Yiga Hideout if you chat up the yiga people in the hideout who are working on the vehicles, you can buy them off them and add them to your autobuild outside so you can use the GLOOMDOOM MK III yourself

RatHat posted:Noticed an interesting detail when rewatching the intro(Dragon tears spoilers I guess): I was under the impression the stones were unique and destined for each Sage, like the Fire stone goes to the Goron, Wind to the Rito, ect. But they’re actually not. In the intro the stone from Rauru’s hand(the Light stone) comes off and Zelda picks it up and it turns into the Time stone. So the stones themselves just transform to suit their user, this is also shown in each Sage cutscene because the stone is white and generic until they pick it up. This also explains why Ganondorf can use his when it’s supposed to be Sonia’s(which is also the Time stone). I believe he would be the CREAM RIIIIIIIIISING TO THE TOP  I always get Pro Wrestler vibes from Khoga, like he's keeping Kayfabe when going round for round with Link

Bismack Billabongo posted:Having a maddening time trying to deal with Mr Hands. Before the fight, use some Dark Clumps (trade a handful of poes to a beggar statue) to get some food that adds Gloom Resistance, which will help with getting up-close during the fight, and using multiple Sundelions in food will increase how many hearts of Gloom damage it heals, useful if you don't have a multi-shot bow to make the fight against the hands easier. 3 Sundelions + 2 neutral food items can heal 9 hearts of Gloom, 11 if it's a critical. I also had a better time by fusing the strongest one-handed weapon to the highest-damage monster part had, and then adding something extra-sturdy to the shield to help block the hits, although that's entirely dependent on the shield you have. If you can manage to get through part of a Labyrinth, they tend to have very good equipment laying around that will power you up so you can take him toe-to-toe. I was hauling around a 50 shield with a strong one-handed zonaite sword with a captain horn attached to it.

I think my favorite fight in the whole game so far has to be against the Frox. So many enemies will damage the poo poo out of you when it goes to get rid of you, but he just sorta helpfully launches you into the air directly above him. He might think it's so he can easily eat you, but in reality it gives me a perfect slow-mo shot at his eyeball so I can go back to giving him acupuncture

RPATDO_LAMD posted:How many zelda games do i have to have played to understand this and is the answer more than zero There's specifically one forest you cannot normally enter and cannot normally navigate in its own section of the map. It's also the same forest you would go to for the Master Sword in Breath of the Wild Explicit location, because i never found a better explicit hint other than the game strongly suggesting to seek the place out again:top center of the map There's a lot more to it than just "okay now warp to a nearby tower/sky shrine and go here" , it's a neat little navigation puzzle + one boss fight to get pointed in the right direction from there. It also has one of the most convenient combinations of inn/shop/second shop in the game when you have it cleared up

WAY TO GO WAMPA!! posted:Fought the depths King Gleeok last night and it was definitely the most challenging fight in the game I've come across so far - ended up reloading my save cause I blew so much food, fairies, and bows. Ended up finding a good rhythm in its last phase of sniping it before it could fully take off into the air, but good god is the storm part just insanely hectic. Kept trying to ride the icicles back up into the air but every time I did I would get hit by a lighting bolt which would practically one shot me. It irrationally pisses me off that the room for this fight just doesn't line up: it's got a statue of each of the four races to match the four sages puzzle directly above in Typhlo Ruins, and the statues don't match up the solutions of the puzzles above! I was hoping at least you would beat King Gleeok, get the hat, then have a neat additional puzzle to solve that requires all the sages, but they didn't even put the statues in the right corners, let alone add a bonus puzzle that I could find GreatGreen posted:If that's true... jesus that's incredibly stupid. They may as well have just not created the mount system at all then. The entire point of a mount system is to get to places slightly faster that are just close enough that fast travel wouldn't help you. You can go to a stable, tell them to board your currently out-and-about horse, then hop on your horse, at least. It's not as good as just whistling to summon one, but you don't need to glide back to it to return it to a stable

I guess it’s time to go gleeok hunting now You shouldn't need much of a hint. If you're looking at the map and thinking "...it would make sense if it's there" then it probably is. Probably If you're wondering whether or not you've found it in the Depths, you'll absolutely know the location it is when you find it.

Macaluso posted:I'm on my way to the Rito temple now. This bird is cute but man his power sucks rear end. You can't send me a LITTLE further my dude? Possibly send me up? There's lots of Up options now, but when you get more stamina on your stamina wheel it really shines on how much distance you can cover for free*. On one stamina wheel you can use it twice I think, but six or eight or more times feels pretty good when you're doing some dumbass glide in the Depths or heading over to a distant sky island I find it really useful when skydiving, you can dive -> gust/float for a second ->dive again until it recharges instead of using autobuild or using a wing in midair *not using zonai devices

PageMaster posted:Any tricks/cheats for this last Lynels in the floating coliseum? Or is it just, "don't get hit?". I can break the armor no problem and rodeo a bunch of times, but they gave it just a laughable amount of HP and it's just a slog until I miss up a dodge or parry and then have to start over again. Cook a shitload of sundelion/sundelion/sundelion/meat/salt meals, it'll give you 9 hearts back from gloom damage, 11 if it's a crit cook. I find it easiest to block or parry the weapon attacks, but dodge everything else for flurry rushes whenever the game will actually give them to me. If one of the spear or greatsword guys starts doing the downward stab move, I haven't found a good tell for when it does or doesn't explode in a huge sphere so just back the hell up. Allegedly if you mount them and then fire a multishot bow with Muddle bud arrows in the back of their head, it's a stunlock loop, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet/it mightve been patched if it's old news The more sages the better.

Captain Hygiene posted:I just found one that has its crystal on top, exactly as you'd expect. If you used the tried-and-true method of throwing their rock hand back at them with the time power, you can hit them with ice or water and then stand on top of them no problem. If you do it the other way around, the hand will just reignite their body. PageMaster posted:I don't know if it's tied to progression or random, but all the Talos's in my game now have their crystal weak spot on their side, not on top, so you can't hit it while on top of them, and you can't hit it from the ground, and there's no flat part to stage on to hit it. Are you just supposed to shoot it now? Do you mean when it's jutting out straight horizontally from their back? You don't have to stand on them anymore, it's actually way easier to hit. When they're stunned, stand behind them with a spear that has a high-damage blunt/hammer monster part attached to it and you can spam-attack it from the ground.

Megera posted:been exploring the Depths with an airbike that finally doesn't keep tipping over or going too high. poo poo's a lot less scary now (still avoiding any and all Frox, thank you) It's not the same method to navigate the first time as BOTW, it might be the same after the fact but I just fast travel in. You've got more options to navigate the world, make sure you've explored every possible avenue. As for the monster Frox's,, there's a few easy ways to exploit their weaknesses. They're like Dodongos where they don't like eating bombs and they have similar weak spots to the Stone Talos and they especially dont like arrows to the eye. If you are about to get shaken off their back, if you glide above them right when they're going to throw you off, they'll launch you in the air. If you shoot them before they try to eat you, you can keep them stunlocked. bawk fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Jun 2, 2023 |

I really miss Guardians and kept wishing I would run into one  I'm hoping that they get included in a later DLC or something. I also hope that whatever DLC comes out will include Master Mode, I want to know what Gold enemy parts would be like. I also want to see harder enemy placements with harder enemies, like the Great Plateau was like in BOTW. Imagine walking up to the front door of the Temple of Time but instead of a Soldier Construct, it's a pissed-off mecha

Sam Faust posted:So, I found a shrine in a very foggy sky island with some creative use of the sensor and ascend which eventually led me to a particular quest with an unexpected reward, and I was wondering without spoilers how much did I skip to get there? At a certain point there's an explicit signpost that points you directly toward where you went, but it begins as a multi-stage quest going from A to B to C ... XYZ where you ended up. I'm blown away by how many people are finding this early, I never thought for a second that would be someplace I you could just go to.

When I first saw it, my first thought was "Alright, the Thunder Helm is in this game too and there's a whole island chain I can do once I get it" because I figured it would be like that whole area from Breath of the Wild. This game is wild, I can't wait to replay it in a couple years when the mod scene has been out in full force and the DLC is out.

This may have started way earlier in life when I was first cutting grass for money in OoT, and was fully made a problem in Skyward Sword with the Gust Bellows Sand Room, but these Zelda games have a habit of giving you 1: A room full of an obstacle that 2: Can be cleared from view/obstructing your path through a room, using 3: An ability with a cooldown or slow effective use-rate, but 4: It gives you some small little rewards for the act of cleaning up the obstacles. I thought it was going to be the sand dunes in the desert, but nope! The Sages and I are clearing out some rocks. This room is so cluttered with all these easily-explosive rocks in the way, and look! Every now and then they have a percent chance to drop a gemstone! I'm not wasting my time, I'm gathering resources!

Pirate Radar posted:Right, that’s a good example of something feasible to me because I have those things—not that combo exactly because I still need those silver horns for upgrading the basic armor set but I get what you mean. It was the mention of 80-120 that had me wondering if there was another material or base weapon I was missing that would take me up to those numbers. I'm currently working on getting the Gerudo Sword/Shield so I can attach as Silver Lynel horn to it and see how big the numbers can go  You can do pretty similar numbers if you've explored a good amount and found some of the unique weapons to fuse with, then you can just pop back over to a Bargainer Statue to get another copy. Dusk Claymore/Biggoron Sword + Silver Lynel Horn is pretty loving cool

This far along in the game, I just found the questline in Lookout Landing where the Monster Control Crew wants you to go tag-and-bag some Boss Fights for them. Gralens' face when he's basically saying "okay, so we got a Stone Talos, a Hinox, a Construct, a Gl....what do you mean you've already killed these things" e: I've found, and lit up, every single Lightroot that I can find in the game. I was under the impression there would be a reward for doing it, but I'm not sure where/how I'd find that. I triple-checked the map, and I've got everything laid out. Are there any particularly sneaky ones or another one I haven't touched yet that would be by the final boss fight? e: Oh goddammit nevermind, I found it. There was one more hiding in a tiny little corner next to Tarrey Town. bawk fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Jun 4, 2023 |

I heard a rumor online that there's a bokoblin somewhere in Akkala that will talk to you if you are wearing the Bokoblin mask, so I've been running around the region with the mask on. Few little things I love so far: When you wear one of the disguise masks, Link's usual huffs and puffs get changed to match the noises that the enemy makes normally. Hauling rear end through the grasslands making little Bokoblin grunts is hilarious. The Bokoblin mask fools not only the regular Bokoblins of all types, but also the Boss Bokoblins as well. I just wandered into a silver Boss Bokoblin walking around with a gaggle of blue Bokoblins while it was raining. I walked up to them to see what would happen, they all surrounded me and started sniffing me. I noticed that my sword was starting to spark because there was a thunderstorm, so I threw a Muddle Bud down on the ground to confuse them all into fighting each other while I backed up/switched gear. The Boss Bokoblin took a wide swing with his Royal Claymore, killing all of the blue Bokoblins with one swing and then promptly got one-shot by a lightning strike. I love this game so much

For DLC, I would be surprised if we finish all the DLC without a fight against a Bargainer Statue construct of some kind. That's gotta be one of the things, right? No real information about WTF it is in the base game, lots of mysterious aspects of the depths tie into it like the random rock pile weapons/poes, and it's something distinct from the anti-goddess statue from BOTW And it's built like a brick shithouse!

Tip for anybody who is farming the Lynel Collisseum, there's an additional armored one wandering just west of the collisseum. He's been the easiest/red version so far for me, not sure if that's static or if I've just been lucky. The armor shard makes for a good rock-breaking fusing to shields, so you can get 2 shards per blood moon and potentially more early parts if you still need them

Epic High Five posted:I think anything armored will drop a shard, probably easier to find a bokoblin spawn that's armored unless the lynels drop a special souped up one They do look physically different, so I'm not 100% on that and I'm not sure if it's strictly better than other spike options like spike balls. I put two on a couple high durability royal shields and they've last for a while, just broke the first one last night.

Nihonniboku posted:That's a great tip, I'll try that out. I haven't tried that. I know I tried the BOTW trick where if you want to catch fish easily, just bomb them, but they changed that in TOTK where if you bomb the fish, you can still get them easily, but they'll be cooked. Go to the East Akkala stable, they'll point you in the right direction. I feel like that's your first intended fight. They're not that bad, especially if you use (not a cheese strat per se but will make it very easy) keese eyeballs on your arrows.
