Does this game use HD rumble in any neat ways? I'm wondering if I should go through the trouble of fixing the drift on my Pro Controller or if I should just buy it now and play with my driftless 8BitDo Ultimate controller.

Just finished it with ~80%. I think the only quest I didn't bother completing was the compendium, the last one I finished was the wells one because that lady is just so pumped up about wells I'd feel bad if I didn't finish it. Patricia only gives me coordinates for the final battle so I think I got all the sidequests covered. I don't think I enjoyed it as much as my BotW experience a couple years ago, but that's not to say I didn't have a great time with it. I liked the depths as a concept since falling in love with Made in Abyss's concept, and being able to have fun doing delver stuff is just as cool as you'd expect when it's being made by developers without a piss fetish. I didn't catch on to the depths being an inverted overworld map until way late, and it was even later that I realized lightroots were below shrines, and had their names written in backwards. Same thing with named forests being groves, I had no idea groves had special treasure, I avoided them whenever i could because of those fuckin' angry trees. Only when an X from a map guided me there I realized I had to check what I missed at all the other named spots. Can someone gimme a page for the timeline discussion nerds that's probably happened already, it seems like the events in the past were sort of a retelling of OoT, which I thought was kind of cool.

Kassad posted:what Like how every mine has a chest, every named grove has a treasure inside a big bowl shaped tree trunk. You can usually pick them out on the map once you know what you're looking for, they're the C shaped features in groves. Usually have just a big crystalline charge, but I've found outfit parts in a bunch of them.

They sorta did it with the Death Mountain area and parts of the Gerudo depths, but yeah it's pretty samey. I'm glad I didn't realize what the deal was with the depths until like 200 hours in so there was plenty of darkness to keep me on my toes, but once I realized what was going on I spent a solid week on an expedition from lightroot to lightroot all on foot which was pretty fun. After finishing up I finally used the Hero's Path and found that yeah, compared to the surface there just wasn't a lot trying to grab hold of my curiosity like on the surface to entice me to explore past specific points of interest. Overworld was squiggles all over the place, while the depths was more connect the dots.

The neat thing is they aren't random, any place with lava in the depths had some sort of hot spring that would heal you on the surface.

There's a lightning gleeok very close by so if you're fumbling around it might getcha. Not So Fast posted:Are folks not checking progress using online maps? I dunno how I'd bother finding all the caves otherwise. There's plenty of ways to find them in-game that doesn't require a guide: - Talk to Koltin - Set your sensor+ to Blupees or Bubbulfrogs - Make an offering at a sakura tree I finished the game completely blind with the HUD turned off and never felt like anything was too hard to find.

Docjowles posted:I could not for the life of me figure out the one where you’re supposed to entice a dog to lead you to the chest. No matter how much meat and fruit I shoved down his gullet he would turn around and go back to his tent halfway through. Got mad and ended up brute forcing like 30 chests which still took less time than I spent on the drat dog lol That one felt like it was bugged. When you give dogs enough food they do a specific animation to let you know they're satisfied and they lead you straight to a treasure. Other dogs are usually satisfied after giving them four or five raw meats, but that one didn't trigger until I gave him like forty. At first I thought I was just giving him a few steaks and watching where he walks, but that actually doesn't mean anything. It's kind of misleading if you don't know about the animation. bawk posted:not possible, they're attached to my shields and sticks. You monster

HOMOEROTIC JESUS posted:Okay, Give It a Break, Buddy Tier It comes down to motivation for me. The well lady has a neat if slightly offbeat hobby so I definitely want to help her out and chat about wells. Addison strikes me as one of those weirdos who are obsessed with CEOs so I'll help him when I see him because I enjoy the puzzle and I want the poor guy to go inside. Koltin just freaks me out so the less I have to talk to him the better. Now that I've finished the game I think I'm going to actively do the monster hunt to get some more exploration in, and I'm sure that'll lead to other stuff on the list getting done at the same time. Just looking for wells led me to so many Korok seeds, Hudson signs and other things I somehow missed. I'm at around 600 Korok seeds by just checking out anything that catches my eye while travelling. I don't get people who are mad about how "grindy" the game is when they're just trying to max stuff out and do lists as fast as possible just for the sake of being a completionist. You don't have to do it if you don't want to! Is there actually a point where you don't get stable points any more? I figured after getting the 50% off discount you just get a rotation of veggies so I started using my huge stockpile of sleepover tickets.

I really liked the 3 ball one, it took me a while but I managed it with the L-S-M combo. I got to the shrine where you have to do something similar with ice over spikes and was happy about being able to do some curling in a Zelda game. I was expecting it to take a while to do the bonus part for the chest where you have to curve it around a bend; on one try the rock didn't quite reach the end and got stuck so a new one wasn't spawning. I fired a bomb arrow at it to knock it into the void and was so disappointed when the explosion triggered the target switch.

Klungar posted:What is the name of the "three ball shrine"? I remember a shrine with three balls you need to fuse together in different ways to be able to jump across a series of gaps, but it doesn't sound like the one people mean. Iun-orok shrine it has target switches at the end of various ramps you drop a ball/series of balls down. The first one is a simple downhill slope, but they get trickier to the point where the last one is an S-shaped curve leading to a target. By attaching balls of various sizes together and in certain ways, it makes the path of the balls take curving trajectories. It really appealed to my mathematician side. Captain Hygiene posted:
Ahahaha, that would have been way less cumbersome with a lot of stuff I built. I don't know why I never thought of not just attaching stuff to the radius.

I think one of my biggest complaints about the game is that getting the Master Sword isn't the big oh-poo poo gamechanger it felt like in BotW. The Guardians were cool as hell as both enemies and gatekeepers, and before getting the sword I treated my handful of ancient arrows as AT ammo for when I absolutely needed to take one out in desperation. After getting it though I felt so goddamn powerful going toe to toe with those guys, slicing off their legs one by one and the sound and flash it made when making impact while glowing was magnificent. The closest to that in TotK were gloomspawn and the second phase after you take out the hands just didn't feel like the cool giant-killing battles with the Guardians. I ended up mostly saving the sword for those battles and other ones that have unique dialogue when you wield it, like with the monster control crews.

Mymla posted:I agree that the guardians were really cool enemies but like, you don't need the master sword to kill them. You can just shoot them in the eye or reflect a laser beam and spin them down with a regular claymore or whatever. I know it's not needed, but it's an example of a before/after situation with the sword where I felt way more powerful after getting it.

So, like, what does the Horned Statue god do with the profit he makes whenever I tamper with my essence? The bargainers tell us upfront what the poes are for, but I don't see a lot of shops where the horned god is holed up. Maybe he gives the rupees to Jerrin to buy him snacks.

I bet this guy doesn't even know about Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love.quote:Similar to Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, the game starts with an ordinary, 35-year-old man. While he watches a sales program on television, the man learns of a book called "Ripened Valiant Heroes Balloon Trip of Love". It is a story about a hero that leaves his parents to save a princess. The book, which normally costs 4800 Rupees, is being offered for only 2 Rupees. He orders the book, but he gets sucked into the world of a picture book when he opens it and transforms into Tingle. He learns that the only way to get out of the book is to dance with the princess of this world, which is the main goal of the game.  Kooloo Limpah!

I thought the only one was in the Gleeok Den in the depths which I planned on avoiding until I got stronger. When I got a monster control quest about "something dropping rocks from the sky in northwest Hyrule" I flew over to the most northwesterly arena-looking island thinking I'd just be fighting a Flux Construct. Needless to say I was incredibly unprepared, but I spent all that time going over there so I stuck it out. Used up a bunch of powerful monster parts I was saving but I figured this was as good a time as any to go all out. In the end I don't think it was even the correct monster for the quest.

Chieves posted:I DO feel like there are fewer types of Korok puzzles in TOTK, but that may just because I'm an idiot and haven't noticed them! When you see statues out in the open in ruined sheds, there's usually some plywood nearby. Sometimes it's shaped to fit, but it can also just be whatever plywood is hanging around. Putting a roof over the statues reveals a korok. Piles of dead leaves usually have a korok rock underneath, all you have to do is burn them away. There are little trees with no leaves with three branches sticking out. Nestling a boulder in there reveals a korok.

Albatrossy_Rodent posted:I've played for hundreds of hours and am nowhere close to maxing out the battery. Not a realistic way to solve this problem. Are you not doing anything in the depths, I have more crystallized charges than I know what to do with and I definitely maxed out my battery before I hit 200 hours. Granted, I never spent zonaite on autobuild so maybe that burns through resources if you don't like playing the capsule gacha for whatever reason.

Minibosses drop crystallized charges, and large ones can be found in a bunch of chests in groves and smaller mines. Yiga bases always have one next to the schematic, and bosses usually guard a huge one worth 100. Additionally, every major mine has a forge construct, so you don't have to wait for one to restock if you have a bunch of zonaite burning a hole in your pocket.

Murdstone posted:I just past play the game and have fun. This is all I did, and I didn't read or watch anything online about the game until I beat it. Didn't get so much as a single YouTube recommendation since I was avoiding it so much. I just wandered around and explored whatever caught my fancy or looked interesting, beating up monsters and smashing up rocks along the way. Nothing close to what anyone would call optimized, especially since I had the HUD turned off and didn't use the hero's path in the Purah pad until the very end of the game, since I wanted to remember places by the landscape rather than waypoints and lines on a map. Maybe it's because I did most of my exploring on foot instead of using vehicles in the depths? I can see missing a lot of stuff if you're dashing straight from point A to B on a hoverbike. As for arrows I had the same issue until I started breaking boxes. It feels like most of the time you're only getting single arrows, but it definitely adds up, especially with the 5x and 10x bundles. I went from always being under a hundred to never going below 500 arrows once I started doing that. I also always bought arrows from shops once I had a decent income, gotta do my part to help out the local economy. If you're short on cash, there's also someone in Rito village that trades fish for arrows at a decent rate.
