Is anyone else having a hard time picking the stamina upgrade over the heart? Since the original, I've been conditioned to pick the heart when available. I have 7 or 8 hearts now but haven't upgraded my stamina yet and don't plan to any time soon. It would be nice to have more of it but I've still been able to climb every tower, etc that I've come across with what I've got.

On a side note, I'm having a really hard time upgrading my Stasis. I can't find the necessary parts for some reason although I have like 20 of each of the other ancient gear/shaft etc pieces. Any clues where I can find the necessary components or is it more a matter of luck when searching the guardians?

You can find cores in shrines as well as getting them by defeating guardians.

Today I planned on doing another main quest. That never happened. The good news is that I have a lot of minerals lol. Have probably around 10-15k in that now.

Also started to mark all major encounters in the world. Nice for farming.

Have anyone any info on how often those respawn?

Should be some stuff around depending on which area you're in. Look for lizards or melons.

I hate durability in games, hate it.. But I can live with it if it's not constant... I just wish they'd patch and make weapons not as breakable... Add another half of the length they have perhaps. But overall, loving the game

In Hateno, look for the colorful houses , there should be a bridge between some of them.

Are Diamonds used for anything or can I safely sell the 3 I have? I'm saving a few of the other high-ticket minerals but there's nothing in the Diamond's description that suggests it's used for anything but selling.

Side question, all those gears and springs and stuff they drop, do they have any use

other than upgrading your Slate abilities?

Cause otherwise I can make bank selling them.

The other research lab that you're pointed to uses the materials to craft equipment. You can make the super anti-Guardian arrows there, and also an armor set and the weapons/shields.

Okay, can someone seriously tell my if Gerudo Town's theme song is taken from something else, because argrgr this is killing me. It sounds so familiar and yet I can't quite place it.

I definitely recognise it. Maybe something from Skyward Sword?

Yeah, should be some guys hitting the house with hammers. There is a third guy around back. Weird they weren't there, maybe they're only there during the day.

Was playing last night and my wife was sitting next to me working on something completely unrelated. I galloped into Hateno Village and she started humming, completely unaware she was doing it.

The music in this game is so, so good.

I love the "main" part of the theme and I always hum that myself. Having the Animal Crossing compose the soundtrack for BoTW was a great idea.

The music is sparse but when it's there, its fantastic.

[Griss]

Yes. 17 of 24 refers to hour 17 of 24 hours. Aka 5pm.

When it's 5pm, the shadow of the rock covers a part of the water that has a chest in it. Use magnesis to dig it up. It's just a couple of rupees, lol.

Simply keep high damage weapons for bosses and mini bosses. Use weapons that enemy goons drop against them. I have had zero qualms with the weapon system. I actually highly enjoy it because it adds another layer of strategy to the combat.

[ryechu]

Dropped jelly. You dont need to use weapons either. Drop any color jelly next to an element and it will change to that element. For example drop a white jelly next to a camp fire, or any source of fire it will turn red. Drop a blue into freezing water, snow and itll turn into white. Get your jellys hit by lightning or touching electrically charged objects to get yellow.

 

[Weebos]

Can you replay the Test of Strength Shrines?

Same here. the Moderate one was difficult. Then I saw it pop up and say Major and I started cursing. Had to come back to it later since I burned so many weapons on the Moderate on.

Then later I found the Minor one and laughed my way through it.

I should mention

prepare yourself if you try the island that is even FARTHER out, it's like Lord of the Flies out there. It's where I'm currently stuck because I refuse to leave until I beat it.
