Nidoking posted:You might want to sit down for this, but... Haha, that's adorable. Playing games for fun. Me and my friend have obsessed over goldranks and have had similar complaints. More hearts are only tactically useful in the few adventure map stages that do not grade you on damage, or on legend mode, specifically hero difficulty (Ganon and some commanders can just melt away hearts). In fact, having more hearts can occasionally be actively detrimental, such as in attacks are devastating maps. A fresh character only has 10 hearts (?), so you can actually get hit once and NOT fail an A rank condition on a map that allows 10,000 damage. This is, admittedly, pretty marginal.

I may have said this before but IMO Hyrule Warriors Impa is probably both my favorite Impa and singularly the best female character design that Koei's ever done.

The way to get materials from both enemies in quiz/trial missions isn't killing them at the same time, you just need to have both of them in camera view when you kill the right enemy.

Well then they might as well remove ranks entirely, and then the game would become even more of a massive grindfest unless they upped the general difficulty to provide a realistic chance of dying.

You can go after Zant first in the Twilight Princess mission. When you take over the first keep, the doors open and Midna gets a morale boost. When you then defeat Zant, he temporarily retreats and Midna gets another morale boost. You then have to play the rest of the story normally. There is no advantage to doing this that I can see, and Wizzro will tell you every step of the way that you're supposed to go after Midna instead. It's basically a harder difficulty aside from the difficulty settings. Both Volga's and Wizzro's strong attacks seem pretty disproportionately strong - I like Volga's in particular for attacking weak points. Two uses will break just about anything. I don't think Wizzro's can be blocked.

You guys are weird. Wizzro is a ton of fun to play! He can go all Touhou Bullet Hell on things! What's not to like about that? Also I rarely use Volga's "turn into a goddamn dragon" combo due to how slow it is. Also I always seem to accidentally use it when I'm trying to get a giant boss' weakpoint gauge down as fast as possible. Dragon form doesn't work too well for that. Clearly I need to try it more often, goddamn.

Unlike Lu Bu Volga at least has some sense of loyalty even though Cia has clearly lost her mind and he is openly ignoring her orders he stays with her till the end. That being said was he supposed to have died in the last mission we saw him in or simply defeated?

There is at least one Adventure mode mission where you have to fight two full-sized The Imprisoned. Ghirahim is your ally. I think that's the one where I found myself running out of time to beat the second one and took a couple of hits so I could drink potions to restore my SP. There's also a Defeat 1000 enemies mission where the boss that appears is The Imprisoned, at least in the Wii U version. The same mission uses Gohma in Legends.

It's my understanding that the reason why the entire world is mirrored in Twilight Princess Wii is that they just flipped the rendering engine across the Y axis rather than test all of their animations and cutscene rigging with both left and right handed link.

Sheik is your best friend against The Imprisoned. Her special will hit every toe and break them all.

I thought you could avoid the lightning strike by hiding under the imprisoned's taint? Granted, that doesn't help you at all when there are mini imprisoneds vomiting dark lasers at you, but it's a good thing to know if it's true.

I just keep an eye on The Imprisoned and dodge at the appropriate time. It's not hard to tell when the lightning is about to strike.

Since you mentioned it in the latest video, I feel obligated to link the Fiesta for any who are interested. Traditionally the event will go until the end of August, so participants have plenty of time to complete their runs (or work on multiple runs). And if you're inexperienced at the game, the thread regulars are happy to provide advice.

In addition to enemies, grass, pots and bomb flowers, you can also pick up the giant boulders that you generally destroy with bombs to reveal chests: their regular attack is probably the strongest in the game, but considering how rare they are and because carrying one slows you down to a crawl, good luck actually finding any when you're fighting something where they'd be useful.

 Part 18: Exercise in Power I won't be able to update this LP for a week and a half since I'll be away from any internet signal. So... cliffhanger I guess? Also, just realised that I forgot to add arrows pointing out where the hard mode Skulltulas are, but I don't have the time to fix it right now sadly!

The Trident is a cool weapon in basic concept, but it's somewhat lacking in other areas: it's much harder to break giant boss weakpoints in a single go than it is with his Great Swords and the damage values are generally disappointing. That, plus I personally think that it's got a bit too much in the way of recycled moves: most of its combo finishers, WPSes and special moves are some variant of a jumping stab or a lightning strike.

Phantom Ganon also had a three-pronged polearm...thing. Not exactly a trident, though. Interesting that even though it's more of a classic 2D Ganon weapon, the trident here has a small visual callback to Ganondorf's OoT design with the red and blue pattern.

 Part 19: Desert Survival How does taking over an oasis mean we don't lose any health in that specific part of the desert anyway? Supply lines that are too lazy to go over to another part of the desert?

Lana's health acts as a sort of timer for the later part of the mission, and if you don't capture the northern oasis early on, it can become a problem. Being grossly overpowered is another way to deal with that problem simply, though. Zant is still easy enough to deal with, aside from being overpowered, by blocking his attacks or standing just out of his reach so he keeps attacking until he gets dizzy. Once you know that, he's one of the most reliable characters to expose his weak point because he has almost no attacks that don't expose it - just the focus finisher, which never exposes a weak point for anyone.
