On that specific mountain they are everywhere (on the ground as well). And in much larger numbers than those usually circling around a shrine.
There is a helmet.
If you do the sidequest there involving reading all the ancient stone tablets in Zora you'll get the clue as to where it is
I forgot exactly where it is, but it is inside a treasure chest underneath a pond from a small sunken ruins just within the region. And the bonus is less stamina consumed when dashing while swimming.
Yea there is a helmet for that armor set. And I didn't do it myself, but I'm pretty sure there is a bonus if you upgrade them all twice.
So yea, I just finished the game tonight.
236 Hours
112 Shrines
446 Korok Seeds
70 Sidequests
All Memories found
I was gonna go after the last few Shrines tonight and then fight Ganon tomorrow, but I found 3 Major Strength Tests in a row so I said fuck it I'm just gonna finish this game now.
The game has some serious flaws. Many of them are understandable given how much freedom there is, but some of them are a little baffling like the total lack of enemy and boss variety. There are a ridiculous number of Strength test Shrines which I wouldn't mind if they were all significantly different, but they're almost all identical.
It's also unfortunate how easy the game gets once you get about 20-30 hours in. Part of that is due to the lack of enemy variety, but it's mainly down to Parry and Perfect Dodge being overpowered. There are a number of other issues like story, performance, visual quality and voice-acting as well but I won't go into them.
Despite all that, the game is still a 10/10 for me. I don't particularly like open-world games, but Breath of the Wild is really something special. The music, vistas, combat (even with the issues I mentioned), the Divine Beasts, Side-Quests, Shrine Quests and Korok Puzzles are wonderful. The Great Plateau was the best tutorial I've ever played, Eventide Island was totally unexpected,
Forgotten Temple/bottom of Akkala Labyrinth
Mt Lanayru
After the credits, I reloaded the save file and went back to the cliff just by the Shrine of Resurrection. Seemed like a good place to end my play through of the game.
I think the moblin
is my new favourite thing. Partly for what it does, partly for how it looks and moves
Had a 'housekeeping' session yesterday. Wanted to go back to a shrine my kids found the climbing hat in so I had the full set, find hestu, and get the tower down south which had been eluding me for a while.
Got completely sidetracked of course
- killed a couple of guardians in akkala and got a bunch of parts from a guardian graveyard. I really need to learn parrying - got my guardian shield destroyed in a single hit. I also thought strafing kept you safe from their blasts but I kept getting hit?
- found lurelin village and spent too much time looking for a fragment of a symbol (supposed to be nearby but couldn't find it anywhere - hints welcome). Killed a strangely located Talus which makes me suspicious but couldn't see anything else there. Got a photo of the
guy and bought some cool things from his shop
- as I was gliding towards the tower I suddenly saw a dragon and headed for it. Got a
which I guess will be useful later, but then nearly died trying to climb out of the water.
- heading to the tower again I found a stables so stopped off for a chat there
Eventually did the things I actually set out to do. Now I'm at a stables I the middle of the map somewhere with a couple of hints to memories so I think that'll be the goal tonight - will need the tower for that area too so I can find a particular lake

You can get it from a sidequest.
A lady in Zora Domain will request for a picture of a lynel.

Perfect thanks.
I was calmly wandering around the jungle area and found a big hollow log. Gentle music playing, im relaxed, looking for a likely korok seed...there was a chest in the log and as I approached it jumped out of the ground and ran the fuck off.
I literally jumped and squealed like a little girl which made my wife jump and my son piss himself laughing

well hidden or anything, but they're way easier to find at night (they glow blue.)

So I'm infiltrating
for the
this one NPC mentioned on a early stable. What does it exactly entail because there are alot of items with that label that I found.
Also, I just want a yes and no question for this:
Are one of the memories on
?
Hyrule Castle
Royal gear

Yeah that's the first thing I tried - camped nearby and then wandered around and climbed up high but couldn't see anything. Will try again later if I get time after these two memories I'm chasing
The other person gives you hints for the closest one you haven't shown him if you talk to him. I really liked that quest, by the way.

So I freaking dreamt about playing this game last night. In it, the game had it where if you died enough times, it would bring you back as a bokoblin, and you'd have to work your way up to being Link again.

What treasure chests respawn after blood moon? I know monster treasure chests do and shrine chests don't.
Most overworld treasure chests respawn too, like the buried ones, floating on rivers, sunken underwater, hidden behind rocks, etc.
tonyh24613
Member
That's mind blowing. So I can mark all those chests with arrows in them. Really wish Nintendo give us 1000 marks instead of 100.
Everyone keeps talking about Kass' questline like it's one large thing, but all I remember is him being in various different places and sometimes he has a new song and sometimes he just wants to sing that stupid cutscene again. Any way to tell how much of his questline I have completed and what I'm missing? No obvious spoilers pls.

There is a book of all his locations that relate to puzzles. In the Washa Bluffs region.

The only ones I think that do not respawn are treasure chests on specific areas like within villages or inside houses.
There's a specific shrine quest from him where you can read his journal of notes of where he can be found. That's the checklist you can use.

It's not really far, but not exactly close. Just wander around, you should find it, it's not buried or anything. If you want a small clue, look into
shallow water
Most? I don't think I've already identified one that respawn. Have you an example? I'd really want to know which respawn to mark the interesting ones...
I don't think the number is a spoiler, so there's 8 of them. You can check how many you've found in the quest log (look into both shrine quests and normal quests)
The treasure chests in Hylia River return for example. I'm not sure if the contents for materials and arrows change over time, but weapons upgrade to better class when you get stronger.

I did the tower in the upper right portion last night. Im about 45 hours in its my fifth tower.
Now to explore the region ... this game is deep!
Thats my basic approach. Open a region and try to completely explore the region for shrines, seeds, quests etc. Then move on to the next region.

Let me tell where the chest was 100 marks ago...
That's some KH reference we have here

This gave me goosebumps, I'll definitely do the same when I'll finish the game.
Probably I'll also fall off the cliff trying to walk near the edge, just like I did the first time
The one that floats?
I've only recently began to check a couple locations, like on Lake Hylia, and I haven't seen a respawn, so I'm really curious. I'll look into it... Even if Hylia river is a really large place to look into
Yes, it's in

and hopefully wrap up the final D

The game is truly a masterpiece, but I can't help feeling that if they had done the DB/dungeon content slightly differently it would have been elevated even further.

- 120 shrines is just an unnecessary amount, especially when many are repetitive Strength tests. I'm at 54 complete and I honestly can't imagine how another 65 is necessary. I can't even picture where they'll be on the game map!
- as such, they could easily have cut 20/40 of the Shrines altogether
- the D
Bivines are really cool but aren't quite deep enough, complex enough or challenging enough. This isn't Shadow of the Colossuseast
- while it's a nice idea, the fact that the DBs move around is basically unnecessary. It looks cool but once you're on them it's meaningless (unlike SotC where they can shake you off, reposition themselves, etc)
- as such, if the DBs were turned into large static buildings/dungeons (like castles etc) and 20/40 Shrines were amalgamated into those dungeons to give them more rooms...
isn't that the mountain where you find The Lord Of the Mountain horse on certain nights? Maybe the crows are related to that.
100 hours jn
6 shrines left, I know where two are
8 more sidequests
240ish seeds
Once I finish the shrines and the side quests I'm going to finish upgrading all my armor and finish the compendium. I think I'm going to try for the korok seeds necessary to fill out my stashes and then use a guide for the last 450. Gotta be another 30 to 40 hours to go, which is insane.

I'm 99% sure not a single chest in the game respawns. If you raid bases from the starting areas again or check chests you found in caves later in the game, you'll find nothing there. I think it's the same when you break crates again you've already looted in the past. The crates themselves respawn, but they don't contain anything now. I think you're right that some floating river chests might "respawn", but I believe the content is different, so you can't just mark a chest containing bomb arrows and then revisit it every Blood Moon.
This is actually more related to the design choose by the Zelda team
Because the map is huge so there are such amount of shrines
Because we already have such amount of shrines which contain the puzzle, if the DB is just as complex as the previous game, players may got the puzzle solving fatigue
But I think Zelda will re consider this approach if players are really call for those big dungeons

I think you need about 4500 rupees to complete it, so you need more than that
But I think it's definitely worth it, and I'm sure you have a lot of materials you can easily sell if you ever need money.

Oh I was just referring to the purchase which I thought was 3K? I guess there are some other things that go with it? Sidequests?
Even if he doesn't want to fully pay for everything now he should still buy it because of what that triggers.I think you need about 4500 rupees to complete it, so you need more than that

You are gonna get a empty house. The extra money is to add furniture. You can also unlock a new quest chain by buying the house.
