Thanks for the tip

no

Nope.

well then Im stumped

 

[JulianImp]

So isbthe last fairy anyware near the

Spoiler

goron

area by any chance? Because thats the one zone I havent been to. If not im stumped.

Succinct answer:

Spoiler

______Nope______.

Somewhat-detailed fairy locations (by memory, so some are more detailed than others):

• Spoiler

  Slightly northeast of the shrine by Kakariko Village
• Spoiler

  Southeast of that small tall island with a bridge (surrounded by land, not by the sea) on the central area of the autumn region
• Spoiler

  All the way to the west in the Gerudo Desert. It's right below some giant bones which are close to several bokoblin skull camps
• Spoiler

  I keep forgetting, but you get a quest from a guy that asks you to deliver his 500 rupees to a fairy fountain somewhere in the western area (north of Gerudo Highlands), and the fountain's slightly to the southeast from the place you meet him at
• Bonus:
  Spoiler

  Horse fairy is at a location that has a lake and a bridge named "Horse God", but I dont' remember exactly where

I turned the shrine sensor on for the last 15 or so but it eventually didn't help much, I had to break and use a guide for the last 5. I would have never found atleast 2 of them, lol.

Thats hardcore. I cant play without the sensor lol. Otherwise I would have missed at least half of these.

I think Nintendo put more effort in the Moldugas theme than all the divine beast bosses lol, so freaking good especially phase 2. I really hope hard mode really make these battles more challenging

One of those things gave me a legit scare when I was exploring those gerudo mountains

 

[HammerOfThor]

So the Ancient Armor gives me a damage boost for Ancient Weopons? I use mostly ancient weapons so this is more useful to me than Barbarian armor, right?

Sure if you have enough guardian/ancient weapons around to make use of that 80% damage buff

 

[forknknife]

I'm guessing it's my fault actually. Instead of motions it's really just small tilts to the controller

Oh, I am definitely super careful when doing any motion control stuff, of course, since it's pretty much 1:1 movement and very sensible. But that's why it's good, because it's reliable and if you are careful and don't make any unnecessary movements you should be able to get it right.

I always liked the sort of kororimpa games with balls and mazes though, so I guess that helped.

 

[forknknife]

I'm at almost 60 without sensor but they're starting to be not so obvious anymore. The last 50 are going to be a pain, I'm sure, but I'll persevere!

Any way to speed things up?

If you have enough ancient weapons on stock, yes. 80% buff plus stackable with attack up 3 to get another 50% buff.

 

[victreeb3l]

Been hitting more and more invisible walls and its so frustrating when youre now conditioned to just go anywhere lol. There are a lot of areas in the map that look like you can get to only to be stopped. Gerudo highlands and hebra regions especially.

 

[Boney]

Pretty sure autosaves will overwrite the manual ones eventually. You can create a new profile though.

Ah you're right! Phew

 

[Red]

One of those things gave me a legit scare when I was exploring those gerudo mountains

I got killed in a single hit from one on Eventide after taking out most of the enemies on the island.

Yeah Gerudo Highlands has a named mountain you can't climb that's clearly within the boundary of the map. Strange.

I just made a campfire by the platform. Kept sleeping til nightfall until the conditions were right.

I got so lucky there. Made a fire, sat there until night and it just happened to be Blood Moon.

Ok finally used the joycons with the grip and I am experiencing the left joy con issues like crazy. Holy crap its bad. It literally refuses to work sometimes.

Finally charging the Pro controller after like weeks. I wish it came bundled with the pro controller because its a night and day difference in comfort.

Yeah Gerudo Highlands has a named mountain you can't climb that's clearly within the boundary of the map. Strange.

I wonder if they have plans to open those up later on. The naming part is suspect.

motherfucking treasure octoroks

Pro-tip:

Spoiler

Use your magnesis whenever there is a half-buried chest. Octorock ones don't shine pink!

 

[Rodin]

Use the magnesys when you see a suspicious (or too many) treasure chests. The octorocks will not glow.

Has this been posted? Cause it's amazing. Especially for me, who loves Zelda II's manual art.

Just buy them?

 

[SciencePilot]

So just playing the game normally without especially going out of my way to find shrines, I was able to find 111.

Those last 9 though... I have no idea where to start looking. There aren't any major places in the map I haven't been.

 

[ReConstructDead]

Just buy them?

Also many chests in Hyrule Castle contain them, some even with 3 or 5 in one.

 

[victreeb3l]

So the top parts of the windmills in Tanagar Canyon are selectable by stasis or magnesis. Hmmm i wonder what you can do with those.

 

[CharminUltra]

I've already found many shrines where I'm like "holy shit I've been past this spot a million times before and never noticed it." I'm at like 80 shrines so I expect my mind to be blown once I start hunting down the very last ones.

 

[KevinG]

Just "finished" the game. At 75 hours. 97 Shrines. All memories. All beasts. 21 hearts. 3 stamina wheels. Who cares about Korok Seeds?

Should I be sitting here waiting for the credits to end?

Yup. Edited my post with more detail.

Edit: Thanks!

Just how do you do the Thundra shrine puzzle where I can't climb any rocks to get to the things???

 

[RetroMG]

I think I used the Rito Dungeon ability and the stasis rune.

Ohhhh... don't have that yet. Lol

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Just how do you do the Thundra shrine puzzle where I can't climb any rocks to get to the things???

I didn't have the Rito ability yet, so I cut down a tree, attached Octorok balloons to it and held on to float up to the orb on the high pedestal. Then a simple matter of stasis and smashing the fuck out of it so it lands in the centre.

 

[Lilo_D]

Ohhhh... don't have that yet. Lol

The rune is enough
And if you look carefully there are places you can climb
You don't need the Rito ability at all

 

[Seik]

Playing right now after installing the patch, it really did some good. I notice way less/no lag at parts where there were drops.

I finished the game on Wii U but it hypes me do to it again now that I finally found a Switch and see how it looks/runs.

 

[Dreavus]

One tiny random detail I really liked was talking to the Gerudo Women you eventually find in [side quest spoiler]

Spoiler

Tarry Town

One of your options is to say hello in her language and she gets so excited, just like anyone would when you make the effort to speak in their native tongue. Loved that.

 

[victreeb3l]

One thing I really miss about the dungeons is the absolutely stunning piece of music that plays after you beat a boss:
https://youtu.be/6qBqU0EApEE

There are so many short tunes in this game that give me instant goosebumps.

 

[Takat]

After more than 175 hours, I found all the shrines. No help from online, I feel mighty proud. It was a great journey and also a frustrating one, as I was coming back and back to locations I thought there were there. But when you do find those last 3 you didn't have it's really a great sense of accomplishments.

Surprisingly, my last two ones were in

Spoiler

Gerudo valley the heat endurance test and the place a shiny blue stone on the pedestal. I guess I never saw them before.

 

[Red]

Finished Eventide. That was good.

 

[Takat]

Just how do you do the Thundra shrine puzzle where I can't climb any rocks to get to the things???

Statis+Arrow to know the orb down, then place on a highish enough cliff, statis again with sledge hammer to knock it in the area.
