I always find my self coming back to the Great Plateau. I'd bet good money there's a huge secret in this area that no one has found yet!

Some people just despise escort missions in games. Loved the linear action game feel of this section, feels entirely unique from any other part of the game. Can see why its so polarizing

I keep expecting it to stop offering only filler and turn into good Zelda if I do the story areas I haven't seen yet, and generally you don't want to drop a game in the middle after putting 50 hours into it. Wandering around is fun enough, but they absolutely ruined the dungeons and made it as time-wasting as possible.
I didn't mind that escort mission. The one I didn't like was the
stealth escort mission in the Lost Woods to get to a shrine

You should if you aren't enjoying it. You're allowing the sunk cost fallacy to control you!
haha
god am I glad we didn't get another Skyward Sword.
I feel like I must have fluked this one considering how often it's brought up. Just put on stealth gear and followed him, no issues.

I found the magnesis use on my own and apparently didn't see the first cannon, making all following cannons utterly pointless.
I'm disconcerted by this post. I thought that was a great sequence, certainly no "1000% total dog shit game design". I wish I could watch you playing to understand what's going so wrong.

Yeah, I realized I'd already been there. Just forgot the name. Awesome area.
You don't need stealth gear cause that one is 100 visibility not sound based.
Beat it on my second try.
How did some people fail the Death Mountain mission? It was very...lax compared to other escort missions in another game. Tell the Goron to wait, mop the enemies ahead, continue until cannon, repeat. The guardians even died with a single touch of a generously placed metal blocks.
Need Fi back for constant guidance
But yes, that mission was easy as well. All the escorts missions are in this game. The guardians are all telegraphed and you get plenty of tools to take them out. Great mission.
If you feel the game is wasting your time, you should stop playing the game, regardless of the game or regardless of the number of hours you put into it.
Basically. I mean if your not enjoying the main missions might as well call it day, go stock up on food and fight Ganon

I would have to rewacth a few videos back to remember where I got it
I don't think it was from amiibos maybe a gift from the Gerudos
I mean, but then you would just stock up on it
I'm slightly surprised at the love of Hebra's Mountains here, the constant haze is killing it for me. I'm fine with weather, but I would have loved to see clean weather from time to time. I've spent several hours to find this bloody w
, and I felt I spend those hours drown in brown and gray, unable to see most of the time.

Go to Hatena where you buy a house and start the Bolson quest. Once you finish that you'll be able to buy the shield

2 Divine Beasts down 
Elephant and Camel, can't remember their actual names ha. Going to head over to the Bird one tonight.
Thunderblight Ganon wasn't as hard as I had heard,

Well I beat the game today. 4 hearts, 2 stamina upgrades, 0 divine beasts, and used the basic Hylian set (9 total armor).
Do note I don't really enjoy open world games as they pretty much rely on the player's own completionist sense to keep playing, so I only explored until I felt like it was enough to beat Ganon.
Final boss thoughts:

Final boss thoughts:
-Wind, Water and Fire Blight Ganon can be defeated easily by 2 headshots + wailing on them while staggered. If done properly, none of them will manage to get an attack off.
-Thunderblight Ganon is easily the more difficult of the entire boss run, due to his third phase which can throw you off if Link gets shocked.
-Calamity Ganon first phase goes by almost as quick as any Blight Ganon because you can spam Bomb/Ancient Arrows in between Perfect Dodges. Second phase is just a perfect dodge/parry exercise.
-No attacks killed me in 1 hit, even with only 4 Hearts.
-I only used weapons found in Hyrule Castle.
-I did like how they take into account if you haven't done anything story-wise.

I thought it was very strange that they designed the hyrule castle battles purposely to not kill you in one hit. Like they went out of their way to accommodate players doing low heart runs.
I would have said fuck it and get good. You get hit you start over.
No problem
You can also get duplicates of your starting gear there and the climbing gearOut of curiosity, did you ever get hit by
Fireblight's fire, Thunderblight's eletric-charged hook, or a laser from any of the bosses?
Also with 3 hearts
Calamity's AOE attack and throwing the spear 1 shot me.
Everything else leaves you with
1/4 heart from max health for some reason, even if you increase your max health mid-fight with temporary heart food.
You get it after Gerudo

Out of those only the Thunderblight electric melee, but it did not do a full 4 hearts. I used an electric resist elixir so maybe that was the difference?
Not sure if you know already but you can cancel the Blight laser attacks (or anything they do, really) with 2 headshots.

The problem with this sequence is that the visibility of the sentries down the path gives the impression you're supposed to just power through the path until you reach a goal, making it very easy to miss the cannons. It doesn't help that if you do use the cannons the way the first cannon is positioned gives the impression that they're just there as an option for taking down sentries.
It's also just a slow, boring sequence regardless.

Fully enhanced Champion's Tunic, Soldier's Greaves and Amber Earrings which gives me 88 defence. Anything better than that?
You can throw your weapon with either R or ZR, I can't remember which.

If you have full health and an attack which hits you doesn't do more than your hearts plus some additional number (which I think is about two or three), the game drops you to a quarter of a heart. It's an anti-OHKO mechanism, I think so that players who wander into overly strong areas by mistake get to learn a lesson and can still retreat.

I think diamond circlet has better defense than amber earrings.

Gaming since the C64 days and this is probably the most special game I've ever played. It's a towering achievement.

....damn. You liking it even more than Bloodborne?
'Cause I think I might be, which I didn't think would happen for a very long time. I had actually planned to take on Ganon tonight after 115 hours....but I can't do it. I'm not ready to leave this world yet.

Seriously. Where's the Korik maracas dude? I've exposed almost the entire map, been to heaps of stables and he's nowhere to be found. I want to unlock more slots.

Its magical I can start the game up and just run around fpr 30 minutes exploring stuff without actually progressing :-D I'm close to 30 hours in and at around 30 shrines and want to tackle all shrines and all divine beasts before finishing the game off...long road to go
It's crazy, I've been addicted to certain games before but never for this long. Every day I play it feels like a new experience, I just recently made it to
Gerudo Town
I think because so many gameplay systems and mechanics are linked and can be combined and manipulated in so many different ways, it feels more like creating your own story than playing through somebody else's.

So I stumled upon a marker around Satori (sp) mountain and as I explored
I saw some Unicorn Ghibli type creature. I learnt that as I get near it all the creatures present disappear. Is there a way to capture/ride it or should there be something I can do in this situation?
