Omg seriously?? Im always like wtf are these for!!

 

[bridegur]

Does anyone know if there are any secret caves (the type you expose by opening with bombs) like in past Zeldas?

[Ramsiege]

It's a fireproof lizard and some monster parts.

Any monster parts?

 

[Chaos17]

So apparently if you

throw a damaged weapon at an Octorok that's swallowing up stuff, it will spit the weapon back at you, completely healed.

No way O_____o
*need to test intensify*

 

[Kinsei]

Any monster parts?

Pretty sure. It seems like elixirs are dependent on the critter and not the monster parts.

 

[TheGoreMagala]

Just defeated a white haired Lynel, man what a fight. Where's the silver one?

 

[Ladekabel]

After I learned the story behind the white horse near the memory I don't think Bojack was the right name for it.

I can't stress enough how tear jerkingly beautiful the music of the

village is - probably my most beloved track in this game so far! Really interesting what they did with this particular Wind Waker piece. I could stand here and chill for minutes, but I'm going after the second dungeon now! Hell, I'm excited!

Now that you've beaten a white one the silver one you spawn at the coliseum after the next blood moon.

you just gotta time your hit or parry right for when he's doing that little zig zag dash at you, honestly. having a bunch of food on you doesn't hurt either.
for the second part of the battle

Spoiler

you gotta must magnesis on the shards he throws in the ground and make them draw his own lightning to him

 

[jviggy43]

having now explored almost all the west, and a good portion of the east I gotta say it seems the east is waaay better developed with more treasure, towns, stuff to do, etc.

anyone else feel the same? feels like a lot of content maybe couldnt be added to the western map

Yeah absolutely. I posted a couple days ago that the desert seems like the biggest offender of a big open area with little to do. After starting out with the East, the West seemed underdeveloped to me as well; now granted I have a lot more exploring to do there but those were my initial impressions.

 

[Deku Tree]

Is a full moon the same as a blood moon?

 

[Nosgotham]

Really should have invested in the charging grip. Waiting for my joy con to charge ugghhh

you'll know when you get a blood moon. the game makes sure of that.

Oh no im stuck in the dungeon. 30 in so far and not a single terminal activated. I have no idea how to get to any of em

Couldn't agree more! All of the areas that had music with throwbacks just made me miss the presence of music that much more. Hyrule castle was also a treat.

 

[DrArchon]

OK, I give up. How do I get the ball out of Impa's house? I have no leads right now. No more quests in the village from what I can tell, and Impa and Paya aren't giving me any hints.

The puzzle itself?

 

[Dangansona]

Highlight of my last two hours was beating the monsters on Hateno beach. Spent a lot of time rolling bombs down the hill before I risked running down there, and without their own lances I wouldn't have stood a chance.

Is it worth it buying the house? That's a lot of money.

Should give you a Korok seed.

Ah jeez, stupid me. Here i automatically assumed magnesis wasn't gonna work. Thanks!

you can straight up double jump if you use shield surfing. damn.

I can safely say the west has just as much stuff to do, I would say. You just need to either use Sand Seals or Sandboots to traverse easier.

In fact, the west even had a

I mean, it is a desert after all. It may be big but it takes no time at all to get around thanks to the sand seals. Honestly it might be my favorite area in the game so far.

You need to buy the house to

Rotate every thing at least one all the way around so you can snag anything that may be in the sides of the camel. Those side holes will be necessary to activate at least one of the terminals. Then the rest of the terminals are green electricity based I believe.

Spoiler

both ends of the camel are important

 

[sammyCYBORG]

I wish the world was smaller but denser. So much nothing.

 

[TheGoreMagala]

Does anyone have the link to the song that plays when you're battling a Guardian scout during the tests of strengths? So catchy!

 

[Kjellson]

Where can I find Hinoxes in this game?

How many Korok seeds do you have?

 

[Thud]

Where can I find Hinoxes in this game?

Everywhere.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I wish the world was smaller but denser. So much nothing.

I disagree there seemed like very few spots where there was nothing to do or collect the open world in this game is seriously incredible.

 

[psyfi]

Okay, well I found the first section I really hate:

Spoiler

Yiga Clan

stealth section. I swear to god my sneak strikes don't work 30% of the time, and I have no idea why. Sometimes I can sneak up on a dude and take him out easily, then I do the exact same thing and the sneak strike prompt never comes up and he sounds the alarm. So frustrating.

 

[Blackquill]

I realized that you can skip basically every non-boss fight

Me too, even though I'm right behind them, also, you can skip this section if you take another path

Hebra mountain is the most barren. A couple shrines and hotsprings which are cool though.







How does Zoras Domain have the most stable FPS lol. This is on Wii U too and it runs damn fine in this village

So i got to the butt and i see a ladder that lets me get to the second floor. But its covered in evil. Guess thats how you get to the terminal on the hump?

Do you mean

Spoiler

after purifying the Divine Beast? Because it runs like garbage for me right now.

 

[Blackquill]

Hebra is the most disappointing region (and maybe the region east to that) yeah but I disagree about the rest

 

[sammyCYBORG]

How many Korok seeds do you have?

Quite a lot. Those activities are dull after the first few times you do them. Filler.

 

[cryptosporidium]

OMG miphas voice wtf was that.. it seemed like such a good cutscene too.. ughhhhhhhh whyyyyyy



Edit to guy above: nah this is with rain.. weird

Yeah. Without spoiling, you need to check out the floor with the metal thing that turns and the weird pillar too.

considering you can go, run in, and pick up every weapon in the castle right after you get off the great plateau, it shouldn't be too hard

 

[KingBroly]

you can straight up double jump if you use shield surfing. damn.

I eagerly anticipate when they manage to get off the Plateau early.

 

[Kinsei]

Ah okay. It just seems like a lot of the people that complain about a barren world only have like 30 or so Korok seeds and are missing the fact that there is quite a lot to do in the world.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Nevermind I did it. Worsted puzzle so far.

 

[dickroach]

I eagerly anticipate when they manage to get off the Plateau early.

you need the cloth to get to/through the castle, so I dunno. you'd have to glitch the game into thinking you completed the four shrines or something?

edit: getting to the end of the speed run now.
so THAT's what happens when you don't kill the divine beasts

Spoiler

you just gotta fight the four blight ganons before you fight calamity

 

[tenderbrew]

119 shrines done... 1 more.

Spoiler

Anyone know how to force a Blood Moon?

 

[Thud]

Hebra is the most beautiful one. The rito one is disappointing.

I'm on the same part! I find if you come from the side instead of straight on, you can get the sneak strike pretty reliable.

"You cannot save right now".... C'mon Nintendo.

 

[theaffection]

Just figured out how to kill Guardians after 25 hrs of play. So satisfying!


I thought you needed some crazy hardcore gear to do it lmao
