Zaphod42 posted:Is it only full moons? I was wondering if there was some trick to which nights have a star fall. The moon guy say that the moon feels like it's going to fall when the moon is in it's full phase. I'm pretty sure the star fragments only fall during a full moon. Speaking of, from my notes, here are the phases of the moon (from the moon guy): New moon Crescent moon 7 day moon 13 day moon Full moon Less than full Three-quarters moon 26 day moon New moon Edit: Just beat the game today. Probably found 100 shrines on my own, and looked up the rest at various points. 130ish seeds and have all sets of armor upgraded to the max, except the circlets and the ancient armor hat (I ran out of star fragments). Lynels are an absolute joke once you get their pattern down. They are still tremendous fights, along with all of the other minibosses. What a fantastic game.

Fhqwhgads posted:Does anyone actually use the elemental wands as weapons? I've been carrying them around thinking they're important, but I've only been using them to transform chu jelly and got some use out of an ice rod during the Goron shrine runup (all the fire lizalfos archers basically disappear on a swing of the ice rod). I carried around a few at various points in the game, thinking they would be useful. I used one in my first major test of strength before I really understood the mechanics behind that fight. Outside of that? I didn't feel that they were really worth the inventory slot.

siggy2021 posted:Is any of the jewelry you can buy worth it? I'm debating on chucking some of the gems I've been hording for rupees since they all seem to just grant the same thing other armor sets give you and you miss out on set bonuses. They were worth it for me, because I ended up getting access to them very early on in the game. At the end of the game, they are worthless, because they are outclassed by the armor sets which do the same thing, and contribute towards a set bonus. The amber earrings are the only exception, if you're stacking armor for a hard fight. They are very easy to upgrade.

Someone earlier in the thread (or maybe it was on gamefaqs  ) suggested that you don't need to carry more than 30x of any monster part, and that's a really good rule of thumb for pretty much everything. Never sell ancient parts. In a pinch, if you are super hard up for money, sell gems that you have more than 15-20 of. Having beat the game, it was very, very good advice.It also allows you to have some sort of meaningful rupee supply for buying things as the game progresses, since you're not hoarding literally everything for a potential use down the road. The only things you want to have more than 30x of are items that are pretty easy to get, and only if you want to upgrade things to the max level. Those being amber and bokogoblin guys for the **** Upgrade Hylian Clothing set.

Admittedly, there are a gently caress ton of them, so even if you get stuck on a few, there are countless others to get. I used the map for shrine clean up after I was basically done with the game.  Xaris posted:Is it possible to tell the Shrines that you've activated vs Shrines that you've got the Spirit Orb from somehow? They appear to be the same on my map though I may be missing some little detail somewhere. I know they show a Treasure Chest next to them if you got all the treasure inside which I guess is a close enough metric. Shrines that you have activated but not completed have orange centres (along with in-game they have blue bases but orange shikah symbols at the top).

mabels big day posted:I'm looking to upgrade all the armor to the max. Is there a good place to farm the following: I'll assume you have the ability to track each of these things, which makes it infinitely easier Yellow Lizalfos - Gueredo Desert, they are everywhere Red Lizalfos - There are a few in the higher elevations around the goron city. There are a bunch right by the city, but they are all on platforms, and usually you knock them into the lava when you kill them. Very frustrating. Swift Violets - The waterfall behind the shrine next to Dueling Peaks stables has a good concentration of them. Smotherwing Butterflies - Around Goron City Hearty Bass - Do a circuit around central hyrule's waterways, you should be able to get all that you need in 1-2 circuits Stealthfin Trout - The lake around Great Hyrule Forest - this should take you all of 10 minutes to get all 30 fish you need. There are also a few in the pond by the Kuhn Sidajj Shrine.

I was explaining why this game is so good, and it's precisely because it goes out of it's way to break the LTTP Zelda Ur-mold. While it is lovely to lose dungeons, I think the absolute stunning breadth of experience is more than made up for it. The fact that you have multiple solutions to presented problems is tremendous, and it's a real shame to think that some people don't like this game because it isn't Zelda enough. At the end of the day, it all depends on what you value in the Zelda experience. Is it 3 dungeons, followed by 6 more (or some numerical variation therein), with a specific item that's used to beat the dungeon and it's boss, or is it the sense of exploration and adventure you get by exploring the unknown? Some people want the former, and I did too, until I played BoTW. Now I realize I liked the Zelda games for the sense of exploration and wonder, not the rote repetition of a system created in 1986 (and perfected in 1991).

Fortis posted:I get why they made it this way, but it's pretty annoying that I can't dye the Champion's Tunic. I've read that it's possible to dye the Armor of the Wild but can anyone who actually got it confirm? I've only read that in exactly one place. I'm not sure where I want to go with my final fashion choices but I want to know if I can at least see if I can approximate an LttP Blue Mail sort of look. Because I'm a giant nerd, I dyed it blue until I could upgrade it to max level, then dyed it red, and used it to beat gannon, just like I did for the Original Legend of Zelda.  BigRed0427 posted:I've been trying to get some Faron Horns off the dragon that lives in Haylia lake. Where am I suppose to aim on the dragon and what's the best method for farming them. So, you'll want to start at the lake tower. From there, parachute north-northeast and land on the battlement (the highest point in the lake area, it's hard to miss) of the lake hylia bridge. Set a campfire and wait until night. As Faron gets close, you should be able to see (or hear) the wind pick up, and when he's close to your position, jump off the battlement. There should be a draft that carries you which allows you to float near him. Aim for the horn, and with the slow motion bonus, it shouldn't be that difficult to actually tag the horn - don't forget to account for arrow drop due to the distance. You might be aiming for the horn, but actually hitting another part of the body due to the distance. Repeat ad nauseam for the number of things you need.

A Proper Uppercut posted:So I found this creepy rear end pond at the top of a mountain with a bunch of ghost animals just staring at me. Am I supposed to do something specific here? Did you see the horse-like looking motherfucker? What do you think you can do with something that looks like a horse? EDIT: Can we talk about how awesome the soundtrack is? And how the piano as main instrument really contributes to the loneliness of the journey of the game? Or how the little bits of previous themes that creep in - Death mountain, overworld, etc - are like hazy memories of a distant age, which also contributes to the overall feeling of how things have gone to poo poo?

Cojawfee posted:I really hope they fix the sheikah sensor at some point. When the thing is going nuts and beeping like crazy and the whole thing is lit up, I shouldn't still be half a mile away from the butterfly that hasn't even spawned in yet. I'm trying to collect smotherwings and my sensor gets a hit so I hone in on which direction it is. Then I'm crouching slowly towards where I think it is and I get a constant loud beeping for minutes at a time with no drat butterflies. They need to quiet that beeping down a bunch too, holy poo poo that's annoying. Or just get rid of it entirely. I can make do with the symbol in the corner. For butterflies specifically, the things are probably above you floating in space. They were very annoying to farm.

Seaniqua posted:I decided to go for my next divine beast last night, so I figured I'd finally try to climb death mountain. I'd never spent any time there. As usual, I forgot that this game doesn't really want you to "quickly" do anything if you're going through a new area you haven't explored. So instead I only made it about halfway up, and spent two hours or so just exploring, getting gems and koroks, two shrines, and killing baddies. It's really refreshing to be so far in a game and still feel encouraged and rewarded for taking some time to just gently caress around and explore. Death is not the end. You will see your horse again. Have faith.

I thought there would be something special if I killed bosses with the Master Sword as well, but in the end, you still have a tremendous asskicking weapon that looks loving rad as hell when you whip it out for the gannon fight, as it blinks on  so I don't really feel as bad for there not being too many plot hooks for having it/not having it.

Jose Oquendo posted:Just got this today. Loving it so far, aside from re-learning some controls. A good rule of thumb is if you can't jam it in your face to eat, keep 30 of that thing around (you will be collecting a lot of things). Health consumables come and go, you can use/sell those as you see fit, and everything else you have more than 30 of, you can sell for profit. Advanced technique: Make elixirs with monster parts - 1x active ingredient+4x most expensive monster part you want to get rid of makes really good money, from what I understand. I did not use the advanced technique, and I still literally never wanted for money in the game.

weird Asian candy posted:Has anyone tried the Pro Controller? Is it any better? $70 for a loving controller is a little ridiculous though... I pretty much used the pro controller exclusively, save for when I was using the switch in portable mode (on the toilet, like God intended). The pro controller is waaaaaaaaay more comfortable and better laid out than the joycons, sadly. In a game that requires a bit of dexterity (controlling the camera and attacks with the same hand, for instance) the right joycon can feel a little cramped. IGN or some other dumb website recommended it (along with turning the HUD to pro mode, so they're not entirely stupid), and having had the opportunity to use both, I prefer the pro controller. Is it worth $70 of comfort? That's a much harder thing to justify. It's better, no doubt. It's just a question of justifying the buy in.

weird Asian candy posted:Damnit, now I need to figure out a way to hide a $70 purchase for a new controller from the wife Reading that bit about turning off the HUD made the game way better for me, and I recommend it to everyone who isn't speedrunning the game. It makes a very good exploration game that much better, because while you have goals to accomplish, you're not gluing your eyes to the minimap to get to where you're going. You're actually engaged in the environment, and you see all of the little things that the Devs put into the game to distract you from the big picture (which is loving awesome). Good luck on your pro controller purchase.
