Okay this is driving me nuts. How do you avoid lightning in the storms? I can't move around at all, I start getting little shocks and then about five seconds later instant death. I tried removing everything metal but that hasn't helped.

Harrow posted:I actually want to know what people liked about Skyward Sword, because I dropped it pretty early--it just didn't click with me in any way at all. I've only really read/watched negative opinions on it so I'd actually really like to see the other side. I think I owe it another chance, probably. Best dungeon design by a mile in any of the 3D Zeldas, great upgrades, the combat system really worked well with some really cool bosses. The biggest problem is it really downplayed exploration but since all of the 3D Zeldas have been really lovely at that until Breath of the Wild I didn't mind (I'm looking at you Wind Waker with ten minute stretches of nothing if I ever want to go anywhere).

It occurred to that there's something that could do for hard mode that would make it really interesting: a time limit. Think about this, everything that makes the game easier takes a decent amount of time to do. Farming for upgrade parts, doing shrines, collecting seeds. If you just wander the countryside and do everything except the quest, then you take up a lot of time but the game becomes really easy. But what if you had a few in game weeks before Calamity Ganon broke free? Then you have to know the game, prioritize what you're doing, accept that you're only going to get a few armor sets and rely on elixirs to get you through. The horses become a lot more important since you're not climbing whatever mountain is in front of you to see what's there. A time limit would suck for the first time you play, but to make you think about how you're going to approach the game on hard it would be pretty interesting.

Dropping things on the ground in snowy area freezes them. I don't think it's possibly to unfreeze something though, which is lame.

Louisgod posted:I'm sure it's been asked a dozen times but is Eventide a massive heap of bullshit unfair assholery? Died twice far into it so far and am GETTING PRETTY PISSED OVER HERE Eventide taught me the real way to take down Hinox, get above them, jump off something, and then use the time freeze on the archery to guarantee the eyeball hit. I wound up waiting on Eventide until after I had a lot of hearts. Once you can take three hits or so then it's very doable. Here's my technique if you want to follow it: First collect food inland, especially the truffles and durians. Then head along the beach to the peak there, wipe out the group at the top and then cook all your food. Nothing fancy, just one item in the pot for the healing items and three of the same items in the pot for stat boosters. Okay, now you're not going to die and you likely have about eight to ten arrows if you collected the ones they were shooting at you. So push the boulders down the hill to attack the Hinox and make it come to you. You can throw explosive barrels at his head but when he gets close jump off the cliff and snipe that eye. Use an attack boost and your best weapon (probably a boat oar at this point since there's two on the beach), and start pounding him. Once he gets up, lure him away from the hill and then get back up it. With the Hinox dead there's two groups of enemies left. The guys high up have a moblin so they're probably the best next target. Use your bombs to break up the groups and pick the enemies off. Defeating this group gets you some okay gear and then the last group is a push over. A few more tips, don't use your good weapons. Use sticks and boko spears on the red guys. Use up those bad weapons so that when you face down the real threats you can break out the metal. You should have eight or nine full heals if you collected things diligently (the crates make the number a bit random) so use them. And use your buffs. Eventide isn't easy and if you try to do it with less than six hearts then you're essentially playing with one hit kills the whole time you're there. There's nothing wrong with coming back once you're stronger. Section Z posted:Then pray there isn't several thunderstorms extinguishing all the cooking pots in a row followed by a blood moon while walking past where the Hinox used to be while carrying a sphere I had a thunderstorm kill the mountain group for me. As soon as they started sparking I took off.

Jose Oquendo posted:Is there anything in this game that you only get one shot at? Like if you don't talk to this person at a certain time you can never ever get something? Or if you fail a mission you can never re-try it? Things like that. Yes, there's a piece of cold resistant gear in the tutorial that if you miss it you can't get it again. It's not very good, can't be upgraded, but you might wind up using it if you go off in random directions after the tutorial is over. Also, if you don't get treasure chests from the insides of the great beasts, those go away permanently when you finish them. The game warns you about this, and generally it's not a big deal to not pick up another sword or bow. And I think that's literally it.

I've done that a few times, but all it means is that when you find the person who gives you the shrine quest, it immediately gets marked as completed.

I'm talking about the one next to the chest with ancient arrows, not the one above it where the balloons move back and forth behind slime.

For 12 it's a bit more cruel, but it's relatively close to the wetland stable.

I just discovered I can drop bombs while gliding. It's a shame bombs don't do that much damage...Harrow posted:Some tips about the materials: you can only get one material from each dragon on each in-game day. This isn't 100% accurate, somehow I once had the lightning dragon spawn twice in two hours out of the lake. I shot his horn, got my fragment and then as I was deciding what to do next he came back out of his spawning place and I said, "Well, if you're going to give me a gift like that..." Hadn't seen it before or since so I'm inclined to say it was a weird glitch since the dragon should have been flying off to his skyhole when he reappeared. Drewjitsu posted:Smotherwing Butterflies - Around Goron City FWIW, I found this to be the worst place to gather. If there's any verticality in the area then then they can spawn way up high and you're going to spook them as you climb to them. There are a few large, flat areas on Death Mountain such as the hot springs and those are the places where I hunt the butterflies.

El Burbo posted:I totally stopped trying to do that golfing shrine after I reset twice and broke 2 hammers and the zora spear. Glad to know it's not even something cool. I would not complain if hitting time frozen objects (not creatures) didn't do any weapon damage. It just takes so many hits to get something to move significantly that if you need to move it twice you're essentially using up all the durability of a weapon. I'm fine with the durability system everywhere else; I don't mind the disposable weapons. It's just that this one thing has made stasis the least fun power to play around with. Harrow posted:I guess what I'd say is that if you're just going from plot area to plot area you're probably going to have a bad time (and, unfortunately, it sounds like you're having that bad time I had discovered over eighty shrines and recovered the master sword before I went to the first village that you're directed to. But then my reaction to being given explicit directions in a video game is to immediately go in the opposite direction so I can see what they're trying to lure me away from.

Spergatory posted:So, I spent the afternoon playing around with Magnesis. In the process, I discovered Magnesis is broken as gently caress. I wouldn't say it's "broken as gently caress", it's just that the balance to it is that hauling stuff around with you can be a pain in the rear end. You're not getting anywhere fast with your doomsday weapon. So instead you've got a really fun toy to use to trash the general area. That said, I'm now tempted to walk a metal box to Ganon and see what happens. I played with a big metal rock from a quarry the other night and that was kind of fun but smashing the dark lord with just magnesis would be too cool. In fact, since I'm putting dinner on the marinate for a couple of hours, I might as well give it a try... Edit: Damnit it just occurred to me that they warp you to a new room at the start of that fight so the box probably won't show up. But I gotta try...

The start of the Box's crusade against Ganon is going well. A hinox easily fell to its might and the Yiga swordsmen who keep appearing fall over dead when Box goes near them. Box has reached Lanayru Tower and Hyrule Castle trembles at his approach. Edit: Damnit, I talked to someone on the road and he teleported me a few feet away. That made the box despawn.

Uh-oh. I found a tower on Hyrule Castle that wasn't real. Clipped right out of the terrain when I climbed on top of it and now other terrain seems to be broken for me. From exploring the out of bounds for a bit, it seems like the final battle arena is not part of the castle itself making it definitely impossible to get a box there.

veni veni veni posted:If this lightning centaur guy is just destroying me at I trying to do this too early or is there a gimmick I haven't figured out yet? There's no such thing as "too early" in the game, though those guys are brutal until you get really good at the combat system in the game. I felt so happy when I finally managed to take one out without getting hit. Of course, it may help to come back to them with stronger armor. So a few tips for fighting them: They have a pretty limited set of moves. The first is shooting lightning arrows. Best you can do is dodge and close in to make them switch to the melee routines. Getting into a direct arrow duel with them is suicidal. Second, and most important to understand, are their weapons attacks. They have spear, sword, and mace routines that have different wind ups and timing. This is the easiest move to dodge and counterstrike as most of the combos can be defeated by jumping backward. Trigger a flurry rush and start doing some damage. As part of this they also do a grab move but the dodge in the same. There's two area attacks that have really large ranges. If they roar, run like gently caress since the fire explosion has a radius of about thirty meters. If they bounce back, you don't have to run nearly as far but the explosion when they impact is still pretty big. The fire breath attack shoots three fireballs and can be defeated by running parallel to it. In some environments this leaves big flame trails and that's your opportunity to shoot up into the air. Now this would be bad if they start firing lightning at you again, but you can go into slow motion and snip their faces. When their faces are hit, they go into a stun state where you can run up behind them and jump on their back for a lot of free hits. Finally there's the charge attack and you can jump to one side and counter or get out of the way and jump on their back when they're out of breath afterward. So that's the moves. Other tips are don't bother with elemental damage, they're immune. Use your strongest weapons because they are HP sinks. Use some buffs; attack+++ if you can survive a hit or two or defense+++ if you can't. These are probably the toughest fights in the game but the rewards are really worth it since they have great weapons and their body parts are extremely useful. Carmant posted:Also I heard that killing more enemies makes enemies drop better weapons is that true at all. I dont remember when the stuff with upgrades started dropping on my first playthrough but it was pretty drat late in the game. Can you make that happen faster. This is definitely tied to main quest progress.
