So I’ve been saving every elemental weapon I’ve found because I was scared of losing them forever, and it was creating problems with my melee weapon inventory. Then yesterday I found a place called Coliseum Ruins in Central Hyrule that has monsters with one of every elemental weapon in the game. Hooray! There’s also a Silver Lynel, which, I’m still trying to figure out how to kill Lynels.

Learn to let go. Of your weapons. By throwing them.

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:I’d also like to know if there’s a good place to go to get Ancient Shafts, so I can buy more arrows for to kill Guardians with. There're several ways to kill Guardians that don't require burning ancient arrows. I mean, do as you like, but you can definitely take them out, by slightly less efficient but far cheaper ways.

Then yesterday I found a place called Coliseum Ruins in Central Hyrule that has monsters with one of every elemental weapon in the game. Hooray! Find a weapon type you like (2H, Sword, Spear) and only keep one. They're not the physically strongest weapon, so you're only going to want them for their elemental effects. I tend to go spear or sword, as I don't expect to damage with them, and the spear in particular is great for hitting enemies at range. A few stabs with the ice spear and you've taken a 5v1 to 1v1 in no time. I'm also a big fan of disarming with lightning and stealing the enemy's weapon. Really dents their offense. Fire is really only good as a utility and not as a weapon imo. That said it's by far the best utility so if you don't keep the others, ALWAYS have a fire sword on hand, not to fight, but just to do fire things. Kinda like you want a hammer or stone crusher for mining, if you don't feel like using other less durable weapons.

I imagine that stable packed inside a small pine grove near ridgeland would be better though although I'm not sure how fast trees respawn. The one next to the Rito village has respawning logs as well as the surrounding forest.

Ancient Arrows also have the serious issue of destroying loot, so I avoid them as much as possible.

I think I'll take a break still, but afterwards I'm going to have to in earnest kill all those tracked monsters. I've ignored pretty much every talos, as I find them a bit annoying to kill. Honestly, I've ended up avoiding most fights these days. Just isn't worth it. I hope combat is revamped next time around. Or maybe even made less important? I don't get the impression fighting was what other Zelda's were about. I don't remember fighting much.

True... 2D Zelda's are a whole other bundle of greatness. I can't think of one I've ever disliked. I liked the DS ones for their puzzle aspects, even if they were a bit off the beaten path. Combat there was more frequent, but way easier. You had all the tools available to you and enemies didn't last too long as it was. I feel that even here a simple fight with a white enemy just takes a long time even if you know how to cheese it. Guardians are pretty much the only thing I find reasonable to kill as far as time goes. Most everything else is a bit of a slog. And I'm not even playing Master mode. I can't even imagine why they'd want to put a focus on the combat. Oh well. Small flaws don't go far compared to the greatness of this game otherwise. We can only hope they'll perfect it for the sequel.

I only keep a Fire elemental weapon on me to keep Link warm without having to change armor.

Bongo Bill posted:They don't destroy Guardian loot. On Guardian Stalkers, however, each leg you manage to chop off drops its own smattering of Ancient Parts. While Ancient Arrows give you a quicker, safer kill, you'll have less time to successfully take those legs off before it explodes, and will generally wind up with fewer parts than if you make it close and personal.

I've just got the game and I'm currently being worked by gannon in the zora temple. Is there a decent guide anywhere to not be so trash in the beginning of the game? like im running out of bows and he's just tossing ice cubes at me what the heck i look awful

Several places, like going up to the keep tower or death mountain, you can use magnesis to sort of drag metal boxes across the top of flying guardians and knock off their propellers. Slamming boxes down on them is definitely my most satisfying way to kill them

I mean, I knew that my "spam arrows and occasionally whack him with a sword" strategy couldn't be the intended way to fight Waterblight Ganon because it was taking forever, but I never thought about using Stasis on his ice blocks.  (did at least use Cryonis, though)

Probably one of my least favorite enemies to fight alongside Talus. I definitely need to get better at this; I, too had been generally avoiding the Flying Guardians because they'd been so annoying to take down. When I finally decided to go in the front door of Akkala Citadel and clean the place out two weeks ago, I wound up wasting Ancient Arrows all over the place. Depending on how this weekend shakes out, I'll probably get all stocked up and take a run at completely clearing out Hyrule Castle of foes, so likely get more practice in on the flyers. Also, did almost all the entirety of my growing up in Ohio, definitely knew of Little Bunny Foo Foo, and also did have Lamb Chop's show on the local PBS station.

Nothing really. But as I usually said when faced with pointless and easily avoidable combat, "Why bother?" The amount of fights I walk/ed past are many. And I'm fine at the combat too, it's just not that fun. I can dodge pretty much everything perfectly. I pretty much forgot parrying was a technique until the master sword trials. I got good enough to not die there, but I'd rather dodge.

Early on you will almost always come away as a net negative (loss of health, weapons, shields, food etc) when engaging in combat.

So the first divine beast I’m going after is the one by Zora’s Domain, and making the approach to the domain was cool as hell. I only have four hearts and a couple of decent weapons so I was sneaking on groups, doing stealth takedowns and headshots, and just trying to survive while Weird Fish Prince is cheering me on. I’m still not sure I love this game but that whole sequence was cool as hell.

It becomes laughably easy soon enough, though; the Gerudo Divine Beast power pretty much trivializes any non-boss combat, the Soldier armor in Hateno village makes you pretty tanky while still being cheap and easy to get to, and if a specific area has really tough monsters that are wrecking you, you can just leave and come back when you're stronger.

I finished the Hylian Homeowner side quest and put the weapons I got for beating all of the Divine Beasts on display on the weapon racks. I am very extremely proud of my fake video game house. Only problem is the game will only allow one of each of those weapons to exist at a time, so while they’re hanging up at my house I can’t get new ones made to actually use.

Man, it bugged me a lot more than I thought it would how empty that house looks until you finish it and they randomly decide to add actual furnishings to the interior. Seriously, until you dump a LOT of money into it the place looks like a warehouse.
