What triggers stronger enemies? I am constantly spawning white snorks now and like, I have the weapons to fight them but I do not have the armor or hearts to tank a hit. I've also been out of faeries for a while so these one shots are wiping me out lol. I'd say 70% of those deaths are when I try to shield but accidentally picked a 2 handed weapon. Aise from rock hammers. I am no longer going to pickup 2 handers. Actually, no I'll keep a couple around because the charge attack on good ones obliterates bosses with ore-based weak points.

Frox are my fav boss to run into because it's just a satisfying pattern and stunlock if you get it right. Ping with keese arrow, run up keg, break rock, jump off, turn around, repeat.

Hi guys, I have a need for spoilers

How can I increase my battery? it looks upgradeable, I have a resource that hints that are upgrade coins, but I don't remember or know where is the npc that upgrade it.

Also only one battery is super lame for the constructs I am building now. I need more energy!

Hearts seems to be more usefull doing the story, stamina exploring. So get them based on what you want to do first. I started getting all stamina and doing all the story, and I am bad at videogames, so I really missed these extra hearts. So don't be like me.

I've been one shot plenty even at like 10 hearts soooo yeah

I wonder if they actually changed this, because I'm pretty sure I was never one-shot in BotW. I distinctly remember fighting Lynels and repeatedly getting hit down to a quarter of a heart and healing back up.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:

basically yeah those armor def upgrades are important since one piece of fully-upgraded armor prevents an entire row of hearts from potentially being knocked off per attack

Ah this is interesting and might explain it. My armor right now (in TotK) is complete trash because I've just been wandering around and haven't come across any (aside from a body piece I purchased).

It's at the first place you came from, but it's spread out you turn zonaite to zonaite crystals at the refinery, and then when you have 100 you take it to the energy well guy, the zoniate guy is at the shrine on the south end, and the refinery dudes are in the mine around there.

Thanks!, I will try to use these instructions. I think I have 200 of these coins, and two extra batteries will really help.

Stronger enemies in BotW were triggered by "general game progress", same probably applies here. It was some point-based system including but not limited to
- Number of shrines found
- Number of hearts
- Number of enemies killed, per enemy type
- Number of major dungeons completed
- Game duration (number of blood moons seen)

I love frox because they're the only enemy where "dropping something while paragliding" is a useful and intended strat

It's not something you can do to everyone, but frox are like molduga in that they eat things and if the thing is explosive it'll blow them up

so you can just drop a bomb flower on the ground when they're inhaling

bombing run, you'd just need to prep by fusing weapons with explosive barrels and drop those

Ah okay I was thinking like bomb dropping from last game. I have used rocket shields to get above bosses for an aerial smash but not really worth the rocket. I need to find a good capsule machine with mostly rockets. Most of the ones I've found they're like a tertiary output

There is a better vendor for buying the stuff in the depths (sells a lot more at once, including the big ones), and there's another guy you can turn them into energy bars behind lookout landing.

What do you mean by refine? They go from raw zonaite to the crystals in the refinery at either the tutorial island or in the dpeths, then the crystals are turned into extra bars by the guy either in the tutorial or behind lookout landing on the rock.

spoilers, obviously, but it's intresting to see that very endgame the game forces the master sword on you for dragon ganon if you didn't bring it in with you (also pulling the master sword is a free action and the dragon happily waits for you while you have your memory flashback)

also of course in a game where some of the weapons give you a damage buff on 1 heart, the speedrunning tactic is "intentionally damage down to 1 heart for all of it"

Repeating the earlier claim that you probably want to focus on Stamina first. I did about half of the Geoglyph tears then ventured to the Lost Woods and did the Deku Tree mission there. It told me the Master Sword was on the Light Dragon and attached a yellow objective dot to it. The dot moved around with the dragon so that was helpful. Got to it and the Master Sword was stuck in its head. It required two full stamina wheels to pull it out as opposed to hearts like last time. I did not have a complete second wheel of stamina so I went to the demon statue in Lookout Landing and traded a couple hearts in to complete it.

Tip for Dragon Parts: If you are able to smash the dragon and get a scale, horn, or talon you have to wait quite a while before you can get more of it. The dragon basically goes into a healing mode after that. You'll know you can get more when the horns and spikes start glowing wildly again. It feels like it takes like 15-20 minutes or so but that just could be impatience. I waited so long for it to become available again on one dragon that he took an unexpected dive with me on top and we ended up in The Depths.

Has anyone done this Symin quest where you have to go to Kakariko and take a picture of the calamity screen. I have no idea what to do here. I found the screen and took a picture but nothing is happening. When I have the camera screen up it has a question mark in an orange box.

I have an issue where the camera tries to scan my equipped items before whatever Im looking at.

For that quest though I took the pic and don't get the usually red exclamation point to show I did it right. I'll check later if I co.pketed that quest or not, can't remember if I went back yet or not.

I do know I took a picture of something just vaguely betting "yeah they'll want me to take a pic of that" eventually, and I was right, and they accepted my picture of cherry tree despite having taken it before I knew it was a quest.

Just take a picture of then mural and go back and show it to him. That's it. His little kids (Calamity Deniers) will suddenly believe it because now they've seen proof.

If the picture in your album has the little quest marker on it you should be good to go. You have to talk to him after class starts at 9 AM though.
