trial.

lol, i know it wasn't the correct way to do it at the time i was doing it, but i thought it was pretty fun throwing bombs in the water to launch the balls

edit: so after receiving all of the runes in the beginning of the game should set me up for every other shrine in the game?

Killing Stone Talus' after every blood moon is such easy money.

Yeah, I keep track of mini boss locations on my map so whenever I need some loot to sell I know where to go.

[Inferno313]

Is it possible to create food that has more than two effects? Or is it only health recovery +1 bonus all the time?

Seems like every combo I make with more than one effect food ends up as straight health recovery with no added bonus.

Nope, it doesn't seem like there's much value in combining a bunch of different ingrediants in my experience. My go-to process when cooking is to do 2-3 base health ingredients (apple, meat, etc) and then 2-3 of a particular buff ingredient (chili peppers, stamella shrooms, etc.), I don't usually use more than two different kinds of ingredients in a dish.

There's an internal counter of how many of each type of enemy you've defeated, the game respawns harder varieties of that enemy accordingly.

Awesome! I noticed that too. The white bokoblins are tough! But the stuff they drop is ace.

Yep. I remember this. I ended up having luck placing the ball a few feet back before activating stasis. Think i had to hit it 6 times with a 2 handed weapon.

[KevinG]

I feel like I may be entering some of these shrines too quickly.

Spoiler

Found a shrine with those orange glowing balls in water...spent like 20 minutes throwing bombs in the water to shoot the balls into the air to get one into the basket. That worked, then it opened a gate to the second room with the same set up, only this time there's an orange glowing button or something on the bottom of the water and now the basket has a metal gate on the top. I'm guessing there's an outfit for link to dive in water? Because as of now I can't do that.

I get them frequently and when I get one I usually get another one (or another two) in short order.

A typical evening playing I'll get as many as a dozen bloodmoons. They're so relentless and do disruptive that I'd take a point off my score were I reviewing it.

You're probably having the same problem I did. I'll say this much:

The dungeon maps in this game do a little more than just providing a layout. Explore the map screen for a bit and see what you can uncover.

e I believe. 100% not worth the effort :/

Yeah. Unless you absolutely need a certain armor to be super high level. You can probably get it to level 2 or 3 without having to use any of those mats but using all of your other materials.

That armor only really seems to have a special use against a specific enemy though, and I'm not at a part I need to fight them as often quite yet

Blood moons are definitely bugged. Turning the game off and then on again fixes it from what I've seen.

I definitely got confused at that. Because it was the first one I had done.

What's the material you need for dye?

No specific material, just stuff that is the same color that you want to dye.

So black is nice because you can use flint. While is a little harder, all I have are diamonds (yeah right!), Silent Princess flowers and milk lol.

Totally worth the white ninja tho.

What's the material you need for dye?

Probably just any material or ingredient with the desired color. Red must be the easiest, because you can just use 5 apples. You can use Chuchus for Yellow, Blue, Red, White...

No specific material, just stuff that is the same color that you want to dye.

So black is nice because you can use flint. While is a little harder, all I have are diamonds (yeah right!), Silent Princess flowers and milk lol.

You can get tons of white material at snowy areas like the northwestern one or Lanayru Mountain from Lizalfos and Keeses.

I think I might be taking my time a bit too much, I've played about 15 hours and I'm still in the second region.. Hope I don't get burned out half way through

Same for me actually, I think I've played close to 20 hours soon and I still haven't even completed the first dungeon. Just have done plenty of Shrines and exploring. I don't see myself getting tired of the game though and feels like I could play this the whole year.

I had it to a point where I could very consistently trigger blood moons. Which would have been helpful if not for the fact what I needed was being kept out of reach because the blood moon resets everything.

easiest to hardest

Spoiler

1) bird dungeon

Very short and the dungeon is painfully simple and straightforward. The boss doesn't even seem capable of hitting the player. I beat him without taking even one hit.

2) goron

Dungeon required a little tinkering but nothing too bad. Boss was simple, and, again, I didn't even take one hit.

3) zoro

A little trickier but still not bad. Boss was pretty easy.

4) guruden

This is the only dungeon that I found difficult (I basically just fumbled around for 2 hours until I accidentally got through it) and the only boss that was even slightly challenging. I still beat him on the first go, though
