How can I upgrade my armor more than once? For some reason, the Great Fairy next to Kakariko won't show what the materials are required to go above the first time. Unless i need to find another Great Fairy?

How many great fairies have you found?

 

[Timeaisis]

Is the

worthwhile? I'd like to keep most of my monster parts just in case.

 

[Anteo]

Uhhhh... so these climbing pa ts prevent sliding? Im guessing is about slopes right?

 

[BFIB]

Where do you use your amiibo at?

 

[N30RYU]

This game has a serious problem... there's no motivation for the player to waste their time doing quest once you noticed that you'll get shit from them...

The quests like in other Zeldas should have a 1/4 heart as a reward... And the shrines should reward spirit orbs that should be necesasy to upgrade the habilities... That way you make all the content with meaning.

 

[SkywardBeam]

Too bad there are more of those tilt mazes. Oh well.

What's a good way to grind rupies? Lots of stuff I wanna buy but I don't want to sell something I'll need later.

Play the snowball bowling mini-game directly by the Hebra Tower. Getting a strike will earn you 300 rupees every time (20 rupees fee, so 280 net gain). Just stand between the middle and the right column, turn veeeery slightly left and throw. I gained over 10k rupees in about 25 minutes.

I'm pretty happy that my stamina bar is quite large thanks to doing the shrines (makes a world of a difference for climbing and swimming). More and more hearts doesn't hurt either.

I can see why helping people would bother you if the rewards are small. I like to do them just for the sake of doing them and making people happy.

About the same performance as docked

Nah

Yeah there are high rupee locks for many things. Pretty much accustomed to grinding a lot of that black rock when on your way to a new area to get lots of rubies and shit. Nothing like finding the fairy or getting into town and being hit with a 1000 rupee fee. You almost get no rupees for doing most quests so you are forced to manually grind a bit

What is painful is when you realize late the double purpose for some of the materials you find to craft many things. If I knew that ahead of time I would have just cooked raw meat and to hell with most elixirs.

Are you people selling the materials you don't need? Because i bought the

Thanks. Unfortunately not sure where that is. I'll find it eventually I'm sure.

[piratethingy]

I must be a genius of motion control because i didn't find anything wrong or annoying about the motion controlled shrines. I have only encountered one so far but it really controlled perfectly to me and i actually found it super interesting while easy to pull off, got it on my first try.

Sometimes i don't know if gaf just hates motion control just because it's not traditional or if it's just frustration because you are bad at it. Or maybe your joycons are fucked?

My gamepad MUST be fucked because the one I did was completely ridiculous. I could basically only reliably move the platform on one of the three planes of motion.

Almost every material has crafting purpose, so nope. All I sell is the gem rocks and even those are needed in a few places

The korok locations you already found? they show up when you zoom in close enough.

 

[ColonialRaptor]

If you zoom right in it shows them

Weird.. I could have sworn that I tried that, but after I found the most recent one it is working. Thanks!

Did you get all the memories?

 

[Thequietone]

Rain sucks, but do you know what sucks more? Lightening, because all of my melee weapons are metal except the korok leaf and my torch. Least I have wooden bows.

Awesome, thanks. That will cut down on my rupee grind.

 

[The Technomancer]

The memory you find in the Zora region is just....Fuck, man

 

[phanphare]

Did you get all the memories?

yes

 

[victreeb3l]

Finally beat the Major test of strength. Full armor set complete! That was much easier than before simply because I took my time and didnt get overeager to get in hits.

I got myself caught in the final blast though. Otherwise would have been a perfect victory. Oh well!

Snow bowling. It's located

I don't actually know what happens, didn't beat it myself, just thought maybe it was a prompt for that or something.

You can always unequip

 

[Kinsei]

I maxed out the bow inventory but there's still an empty space on the screen. Is there a secret unbreakable bow (I suppose it could be light arrows too) or is that spot going to stay empty forever?

It's both.

The motion control puzzles in this game are fantastic. I'm happy Nintendo still embraces motion from time to time, even in their traditional games. I'm so happy the Switch Pro Controller has gyro built in.

I think that's normal?? Same thing happened to me and kinda killed my interest in going back to see what I missed (which I know is a lot of stuff).

Yeah, but monsters attacking/ambushing you with no weapons isn't a great situation to be in, and it's even worse when they can kill you in one hit and won't stop chasing you.

You can get a piece of armor that makes you immune to lightning.

It's a side quest reward in Gerudo Town.

Hyrule Castle having such a great theme makes how most of the rest of the game lacks a melodic theme such a bummer.

[OrbitalBeard]

I'm not going to lie. This game is making me with the Switch had an achievements system. I normally couldn't care less about them, but like I felt about Bloodborne, when I become obsessed with a game, I actually love going for the achievements / trophies. This game could have implemented so many great ones.

 

[2Smashed4U]

Do not like the lock on system for this game at all. It is shit.

I agree, it's definitely very hit or miss at times.

 

[Weltall Zero]

Great to know! I knew that the overworld weapons respawned with the bloodmoon, really nice that the shrine weapons do as well.

Virtually all weapons respawn at bloodmoon. Mark the good weapon drop places on your map.

Both weapons I mentioned were from shrine chests, which as far as I know don't respawn.

your armor is meaningless, your fairies are meaningless, and your champion abilities are meaningless

Very out of place in a game like BotW.
