I think the blood moon bug is seriously destroying the experience for a lot of players. can't blame them.

What bug??

Sucks. Haven't gotten it yet I think.

 

[jonjonaug]

The blood moon can occur at times other than midnight. It'll still only occur on set days, but can occur multiple times in one night.

 

[archreaper93]

So, one of the complaints I've seen is about the voice acting. However, I'm not really noticing anything wrong with them.

What is it? Is it the British accents?

Have you heard Mipha speak?

 

[Totakeke]

First a frame rate stutter when attacking moblins is game breaking, and now a blood moon bug is game destroying? You guys need to tone down the hyperbole. It sucks but it's a minor issue

Have you heard Zelda? Or Mipha? Good for you if you like it I guess, but it's bad, from Rhoam on down.

Zelda and Mipha seem to be forcing their voices to be higher than natural, making them sound silly. The old man at the beginning sounds unconvincing as an old man. Some lines are also pretty robotic, even from the more well-performed characters. I got used to it, but it's not up to par with other Nintendo efforts like KI: Uprising or even Star Fox. I don't blame the voice actors, though. It's 100% a directing problem.

I'm really glad I haven't gotten that yet. I don't know if that is a save breaking glitch like TP and SS both had at certain parts, but Nintendo really needs to push an update to fix it.

 

[Zombegoast]

Found that area used in the 2014 trailer. It's weird how this made it in the Faron Woods but not the open field.

The blood moon can occur at times other than midnight. It'll still only occur on set days, but can occur multiple times in one night.

It happened to me yesterday.

I like Zelda and Mipha just fine. I wouldn't call them bad at all.

Rhosm immediately stood out to me yeah, and I was surprised because it sounded a lot better in the trailer. (It also sounded a lot less like a rough cut of the recorded audio, the one in the game almost sounds unfinished?)

I had it happen earlier in the week where I just kept getting them. I wasn't even doing much either. Didn't even realise it was a bug or a common thing at the time. I was just kind of confused.

Fortunately I've not experienced it since.

I don't mind Zelda so much. Mipha though, yeaahhhh...

You can't. Asked the same question twice and I never got an answer.

It's not completely terrible. Zelda and Mipha are the only real bad ones. And Zelda has her moments when she's cute I guess.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

You can turn on the Sheika Sensor+ to scan for "Rare Ore". Don't know if there's a way to farm, though.

I could sit next to some stones I mined and wait for a blood mood

takes too long

 

[Nocturnowl]

The Vah Ruta surfing music is my new favorite track in the game

So good

 

[Chezzymann]

After selling all my gems and some weird thing called an ancient star I have 10,000 rubies, enough to get me a full set of ancient armor aww yea. Now time to K.O. some guardians

 

[Jobbs]

I was posting about this a lot back during my play, and I actually said the bloodmoon almost caused me to quit the game on a few occasions. It just fucked with me over and over and ruined so many experiences.

I'm not glad it's ruining peoples' experiences, but it's sort of good to know I'm not alone in having this problem

 

[mcfrank]

any reliable way to farm topaz, ruby, and diamond?

Kill all the stone talus every blood moon.

Dude you should not have sold the star piece lol

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

While i'm here how much of the mining ores should i be saving? always tempted to sell a bunch but i always have a feeling i'm going to need it later

I've played for 40-50 hours and only just realised you don't have to use bombs to mine for gems

WAIT WHAT

How? Weapons?

 

[Voras]

People are being super childish about this review score stuff. It really doesn't matter. Just enjoy the game instead of getting bent out of shape because of a 1 point metacritic drop.

I probably made that discovery at the 70h mark. I feel ya.

Ah fuck, I sold mine too. What do we need them for?

 

[Kinsei]

Hammers.

Upgrading the best armor set in the game. You need three (one for each piece) to get all the pieces of it to max level.

 

[Jacobson]

Can't the blood mood bug be cured by closing the game after playing it?

Yeah, but not everyone knows that, so they assumed that that's how it supposed to be. Like in Jim's review.

 

[MGrant]

WAIT WHAT

How? Weapons?

Almost any weapon should be able to break the rocks. I think it's based on damage, and the rocks have a certain amount of HP, as I seem to be able to break the rocks faster when my damage is increased. Hammer weapons seem to always break them in one hit, though.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

So good

Sooo good. For some reason sounds like a FFXV track

But why would you want to dull your weapons doing that? Except to prevent stuff from flying around

 

[Valahart]

You can't. Asked the same question twice and I never got an answer.

It's not in the game, it's the Wii U "Daily Log" app.

 

[MGrant]

Because ain't nobody got time to switch and I'm rolling in fat stacks of gear at this point.

 

[goldenpp72]

Why would the blood moon happening off time be a game ruining experience? Or am I missing something?

lol makes sense. i need to get on it

i've lost so many ores blowing up rocks on the sides on mountains lol

 

[Zafir]

It can happen multiple times in one night, which from experience gets a bit grating.

It works with it's normal system where it happens every x amount of days, but having it multiple times a night is just annoying.

Koko is adorable. *sniffles*

Yeah this has happened to me a few times over the weekend. It's annoying.

When you need 15 yellow chuchu jelly for an armor upgrade and don't want to search for it. So you grab your great thunder sword and just swing it on top of 15 regular jelly and trasform it

[Common Knowledge]

Regarding the stealth section that people have trouble with,

Spoiler

shouldn't it be possible to just bypass the whole thing and go straight to the boss fight? I went through it the regular way but afterwards because I was curious I climbed up around that whole area and saw that you can indeed just drop down into the boss fight arena. Is there something that prevents you from doing that before killing the boss?

Can't you just try and get more? Is the only way to track where you think a falling star fell? I've yet to find any actually.

 

[Oracle Dragon]

Question on Climbing Gear: it indicates it makes you climb faster. But is it a net gain to climbing? What I mean is do you cover more distance before your stamina meter runs out because you are going faster? Or do you climb the same distance per stamina as normal, just you actually perform the motions faster (so wasting less real life time)?

 

[ThxObambam]

I don't remember who said it in the previous thread. But they were completely spot on about the

Yeah but they're annoying to get. You can also farm silver Lynels for them.

Lynels drop them occasionally. I've gotten one by doing this.

Same here! I also didn't catch on that climbing towers unlocked the map of the region. Took me 40 hours to figure that one out.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to take pictures of each one.

I used the screenshot functionality of the system, personally. Same basic effect.

[balladofwindfishes]

huh, I thought someone said white enemies only spawn after you beat the game, but I guess that's not true because white Bokoblins are everywhere right now.

They have a stupid amount of HP

But you literally had to activate a tower before leaving the Great Plateau. There was no way you couldn't catch this. Maybe you forgot
