Can someone go ahead and spoil snowpeak hole mystery and the cloudy mountain for me?

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

It needs to stop raining. This is a pretty terrible mechanic.

 

[Wanderer5]

Who sells the arrows and armor?

Spoiler

After checking out the tech lab in Hateno Village, you can get a side quest there regarding someone named Robbie that will have those in stock for rupees and ancient parts.

I kinda want to use amiibo for stuff but I also feel like it's cheating if I use them.

What's the criteria for sort weapons?
Order of pickup? stats? type? I don't get it.

The music there is my absolute favorite in the game so far. Almost makes the death bearable :'(

Make it stop by finding a dry place, making a campfire, and resting for a bit.

 

[Fledz]

Akkala Fortress and the surrounding area is ridiculous.
I'm having so much fun though. This game. Amazing.

 

[Sullichin]

What is there to do about the rain? It rains very often, and when I'm in the middle of climbing all I can do is wait on a ledge and stand still until it stops. Leaving and coming back later is generally a waste of time because there's a good chance it will simply start raining on that try as well.

Not exactly riveting.

There's one area

Spoiler

Zora's Domain

where it will always be raining until you complete a certain event. But otherwise you can wait out the rain. Hold some flint and wood, drop it, strike it with a metal weapon to make a fire (under cover so the rain doesn't put it out). And just wait until morning

Where can I find a torch? been looking for one with no luck lol

the hylian shield

I thought this was a one time spawn, perma item? All the places I've seen talking about it mention how it's invulnerable.

[SuperSonic1305]

I have to say, I never thought I'd hear someone say this.

I mean, it legitimately just throws you right into the world.

You can't leave the Plateau until you do the first 4 shrines and getting anywhere takes a bunch of time with such low stamina, no horse, and no paraglider. It might as well be a tutorial level.

It rains every day, multiple times a day. I'd run out of flint.

 

[tci]

Does the game have issues with Moblin physics? Sometimes when a Moblin is falling down a hill or off a cliff it CHUGSSSS

Can confirm. I thought the game froze the first time.

 

[Mandelbo]

If you can't find one, you could use a Boko Club or other wooden weapon as a substitute. When they're set alight they function the same way as a torch.

While you get helpful stuff I wouldn't call it cheating. Especially given the nature of the game

Gotcha. Thanks.

Where is that? Hateno lab?

True!

 

[iFirez]

I just finished the game. All memories, Master Sword in hand and over 69 Shrines finished. It was an epic rush and battle.

A note: The game autosaves right before the final battle and you can reload that save after the credits, it has a little STAR on the save and load screen to show that you've finished the story on the save.

Which means you cannot play in the world after the events of the end of the story but you can play right before that after you've finished and just keep exploring and finishing shrines for the foreseeable future... oh and Koroks all those Koroks.

 

[The Elite]

Where is that? Hateno lab?



True!

Yeah, right beside the door.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Apparently I've played this game for 8 hours today. That cant be right...

yeah, that's what I meant!

A traveler in Faron Woods told me a rumour about a fairy that can revive horses. Haven't found her yet though.

Ya, shit's going to break anyway.

I kinda wanna get the clothing amiibo so that I can play Fashion Zelda tho

Any tips on how to stop horses bucking you off? Been trying to capture a cool looking black one for half an hour

press L faster, that's all.

Oh wow that's all there is to it? I'd been trying to time pressing L, trying to roll the analog stick with the direction it's throwing me around in and everything. Thanks!

 

[Sullichin]

I ran into a streaming issue twice so far. When gliding a long distance the game simply completely paused for 3-4 seconds and then resumed. Not a frame rate drop. It just totally stopped for a few seconds.

 

[Exuro]

I wish there were more environmental based enemies/enemies in general. Not a big fan of having mostly moblins/bokoblins everywhere.

I have no trouble finding flint, and some vendors sell it. Also, if it's raining, I just do something that doesn't involve climbing. I don't seem to be having as much rain as you though.

Upgrade your stamina. I was able to tame a solid black horse after upgrading it once. You can also stock up on stamina refilling meals/elixers. Just mash that L

 

[RPGCrazied]

Not to much spoilers, but where can you get better armor than the champion shirt? I've been using this for far too long it seems.

Anyone?

 

[Makonero]

There are other enemies. I'm up to my ears in Lizalfos right now.

Make lots of food that overfills your stamina wheel and hammer the L button

Either increase your stamina or create stamina elixirs that you can use while you're soothing them

It's just a bunch of consumables and a slight chance to get a special exclusive item. But most of the time it's just fire arrows or a low tier sword.

And those special exclusive items aren't game breaking. I have 2/3 of the Hero of Time pieces and they have the same stats as early game armor you can buy in Kakariko. Also they don't really match anything else, so I don't bother wearing them.

Epona is really the only amiibo reward I'd consider actually kind of cheating.

Stamina upgrades. You can make stamina elixers/foods as well.

 

[DeuceGamer]

I love the environmental story telling in this game. It makes finding new locations even more rewarding to me.

Spoiler

Like all the Guardians outside Hateno fort. It's easy to tell that there was a major battle and that a lot of Guardians were destroyed trying to get over the wall. As you continue you learn that Hateno was largely unaffected.

You can rebuy legendary tier weapons and etc from someone in the game. Don't know where he is though

So, I got to the

Is that tied into

Take off your clothes!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Not being able to dye the cover art clothing is disappointing.

I wanted to dye it green...

I ended up making it work though. Brown hood + tan knight armor leggings and the entire outfit looks really great and perfect for adventuring. Too bad though, I wanted to actually use my Hero of Time/Twilight/Winds hats I managed to get and not have them clash horribly.

 

[Skilletor]

press L faster, that's all.

seriously? that's it? lol

Thank you!

 

[Pejo]

Argh, I need one more Ancient Core to upgrade stasis. I got 2 from random chests in shrines, but there's gotta be another "for sure" way to get one more.

(Also, I probably can't kill one of those large guardians yet). Any ideas guys?

Link has the wound regardless of memory, you just need a way to show it to him

 

[Makonero]

I think my favorite moment thus far was in Zora's Domain.

Spoiler

As part of the main quest, when they talked about getting Shock Arrows, I was like, I just bought a ton of those! I sure hope I don't have to go on this quest to get more. And sure enough, at the end of that convo, Sidon was like, "Whoops! You've already got some! If you need more, go to the place and get more though!"

I love when the game notices stuff like that.

Grab the best weapons you can and go learn how to kill a guardian.

They drop them like a pinata, and once you figure them out they are easy to kill.
