Actually, there's a slightly better spot for this, just north of Riola Spring. THere's a small cave with several electric keese in it. You can kill them, then build your fire just inside the cave so you don't have to deal with rain. Light it with a flame weapon (so you don't have to fumble with flint and steel), and wait until morning. Relight fire, jump and ride the current of the spawning Farosh into the air. Pick your shot with the Gerudo Golden bow, and let fly. Let your prize hit the ground, land next to your fire...and repeat. If the parts have hit the ground, they won't despawn until you leave the area. Continue until you're stocked up enough horns, teeth. claws, or whatever for your needs, and go collect them all at once. A Dragon Horn is a /massive/ duration enhancer when cooking. Four Mighty Bananas and a Horn Shard = 30 Minute Murder Mode.

canoshiz posted:First dragon I saw was Dinraal. I took a picture when I first saw it and read the flavor text in the compendium that said it bears no ill will towards humans, so I went into the Naydra scene with a "wow this is cool and I need to help this thing out" mentality. I didn't really organically stumble upon Naydra, though (having looked up the locations of where to find the dragons to get their scales, but not much more than that), so the experience was a bit diminished in that sense. I stumbled across Farosh first, on my first trip back to the plateau after managing to make it to Karakiko village. I was heading towards the east side of the plateau during the morning, and saw it flying over Lake Hylia. One of many "What the hell is that?" *SAVE GAME* moments, but it didn't seem to notice me. I didn't try to shoot it until after I'd made my Hateno village run, when it swooped down nearby after my first failed attempt at puzzling through the Ya Naga shrine. I carried the scale I shot off for a /long/ time until I stumbled into where I needed to use it. Naydra was the /last/ Dragon I saw, because I didn't really start exploring the mountain until I had bought and level-2 upgraded the full set of snow gear. My first attempt, I ran out of arrows, so I went and found some horse archers and exploited them until I had 300 (the original exploit still worked back then) and picked up the Golden Bow, and a bunch of Stamina food, and headed back, and discovered that I only had to score one more hit.

My standard Hinox-Killing method now is to just sneak up between the legs of a sleeping Hinox, pull out a Royal Claymore, and spin up. By the time the Hinox is on his feet, he's dead, and if the Royal Claymore happened to break, oh well, there's probably a new one on the ground now.

Drewjitsu posted:I went to a full row of hearts before getting stamina upgrade #2. The thing about the climbing gear; It doesn't increase how high you can climb. Until Upgrade 2 with the full set, it only makes you climb /faster/. Climbing the same path with or without the climbing gear will use the same amount of stamina. The stamina reduction for level 2 is only for jumping, which, by itself, won't take you as high as regular climbing would.

There are only about four weapons that you can never acquire again once you miss your chance or break/lose all the ones that exist in chests or are given to you. The weapon connoisseur quest doesn't require any of them.

Once you exhaust all those, you can't get it back, except in the Quest Area, where you don't get to keep it afterwards. Also, the Mighty Lynel Sword, Bow, and Shield are only dropped by Blue Lynels outside of Hyrule Castle. Once those stop appearing (Because they've been promoted to higher-level Lynels with Savage gear), you can't get them again.

I used the second code. I really need to practice more on Lynels. I didn't kill my first one until after I'd beaten the game the first time. Part of it was just because I'd gotten so badly trounced the first few times I tried the Red Lynel, and part of it was because I had a hard time keeping one-handed weapons in stock early on, so learning how to use my shield (and, to be fair, dodging attacks) took a major back seat to toughing things out. Even after all these years, I still kind of default to Link-to-the-Past mode when fighting enemies.

I finally went to Eventide Island. I feel like I kind of cheated by making and eating the Thirty Minute Murder Meal beforehand, and having more than 20 hearts at the time (But for the Grace I still would have Game overed, though. I am not good at Shirtless Fighting.) My biggest regret was running around like a frantic idiot instead of carefully exploring; Watching videos after the fact showed me so much helpful stuff on the island I missed entirely.

crayon85 posted:Master sword takes 10 minutes. If you check your inventory and select it you can see how long remains, same goes for db abilities. If you want to max your minor guardian parts, though, stun the Guardian Walkers with with Stasis+ or a (normal) arrow to the Eye, then run up and hack their legs off with the Master Sword. Each leg chop stuns the Guardian again, does overall damage, and provides its own smattering of Ancient Gears, Shafts, and Screws, and you still get the regular Guardian kill drops you'd get from Beam Tennis or Ancient Arrows. when it finally dies. Leg hacking is still worth it even if the Guardian has started its destruction animation. Also, if a legless Dead Guardian is sitting in a pool of water, you can flip it with a well-placed Cryonis block to have it divulge more of the minor parts than a regular Search action would. And if it's currently raining in the region you're in, there will be more pools of water under the Dead Guardians than normal. maltesh fucked around with this message at 10:30 on May 7, 2017 |

s.i.r.e. posted:
I would have rather liked a system where the rechargable abilites immediately began their cooldown after the last time you used them, and using it again restarted the clock. So use a Revali's Gale, and you have two left, six minute cooldown begins. Use a second one five minutes later, and you're down to one, and the recharge clock goes back to six minutes. Wait those six minutes, and you're back up to the full three. Even with a significantly longer recharge time than the current system, I'd prefer the above, as the current situation effectively incentivizes the player to burn his champion ghost powers unneccesarily if he's pretty sure he's not going to be using them for half an hour.

I wonder if it was a leftover from an earlier test version, where the Master Sword did not recharge in your hand when broken, and instead you had to go back to get it, similar to the way the other Champion weapons work.

Cojawfee posted:Once you have 5 fairies, they stop spawning. Lose some fairies and they will come back. Or, the next time you go to the fountain, choose to hold five of the fairies you have in your inventory. Once the number of fairies in your actual inventory drops below the threshold (because they're in your hands now), more will appear at the fountain, as long as it's been a Blood Moon since the last time you grabbed or chased off fairies from that fountain. You can then put the ones in your hands away, and go catch the new fairies. If I recall correctly, the maximum number of fairies you can have in your inventory by doing this is 11.

I think I then bought the rest that I needed, but it's been awhile, so I don't recall. It's certainly possible to murder him though, and if you want to get the Blue and White-Maned lynel gear, you will eventually have to learn to kill them before the game advances them to Silver.

Ciaphas posted:Nevermind turns out some attack up food, some parries and some bowsmanship (omg you can mount them) is enough to do the deed after all. The other thing is that you can literally swap weapons and armor at any time, and sneakstrikes, flurries, and mounted attacks do not wear down your weapons. So if you have a weapon that does a lot of damage, and a set of armor that /increases/ that damage, and perhaps a Four Minute Murder Meal that stacks upon that damage, you can really ruin a Lynel's day fairly quickly, and you can swap back when you get thrown (or possibly pull off a few bowshots to the back of the Lynel's head while still in the air to stun him again.) I'm still not /good/ at killing Lynels, but it makes things go quick. I regret waiting until after I'd completed the game before I seriously tried to kill my first one.

Can anyone say as generally as possible what direction his home is in so I have a rough guess where to wander first? The first location you can find him at before he reaches home is Northwestish of his original location. If you find him there, he'll stick around and give you a few more upgrades before moving on to a second location, where he'll stick around and give you more if you find him there. Or if you head directly to his Home, he'll be there when you get there, regardless of whether you spotted him at the two previous locations.

Something that took me way too long (and watching a video) to realize: If you've got a decent bow and a steady hand, you can shoot down /any/ cliffside ingredient. Running along the base of a cliff and shooting down Swift Violets and Rushrooms and collecting them after they fall is /much/ quicker than climbing up the cliff to get them. And even if you miss, you'll probably still be able to collect the arrows. Also, ancient arrows that miss can be re-collected, just like ordinary arrows. So you can get a decent picture of an Ancient Arrow (though without the Glowy knife blade) by shooting one into a wall and taking a picture while it's on the ground ,producing a less-cluttered picture than using the selfie capability. I also kind of wonder what would happen if Link got hit with an Ancient Arrow somehow. Edit: Another thing I didn't realize until last week: The game will let you start a fire /anywhere/ that you can drop firewood, as long as it's out of the rain/water and you can ignite it. This includes inside buildings, and atop the elevator pads of shrines (which are conveniently sheltered from ambient weather) maltesh fucked around with this message at 01:54 on May 22, 2017 |

Dictator. posted:the farm though More Korok Puzzle types Offering matching: A set of N statues has N-1 ingredients as offerings in its bowls/altars. Add the same ingredient to the missinng bowl to summon the Korok, then take all the ingredients back because hey, free ingredients. Diving Target: A small circle of plants in a body of water. Generally intended that you dive from a nearby outcropping (Or otherwise fall about a half dozen meters) into the center of it. Fruit Picking: Find three fruit-bearing plants in a very close line (they'll appear to be touching on the map at the highest magnification) where two have one fruit, and the third has many. Pick or shoot the fruit off the third to match. Follow the Flower: A yellow flowering plant. Touch it, and it teleports to a new location. Generally, this needs to happen four times before the Korok shows up. Boulder Bowling: A boulder-sized depression in the ground, and one or more pushable boulders at a higher location. Move a boulder into the depression, win a Korok. Secret Archery Target: If there are a few arrows sticking near an object that looks like it could be a target, try shooting one into it yourself. But yeah, Koroks are pretty much at almost every interesting location in the game. Summit of a peak? Probably a Korok Puzzle there. Unusual basin or pit? Korok. Lone Tree off somewhere interesting? Probably a Korok. Weird looking structure or ruins? Head of a river? Stasisable rock of slab blocking something?The list goes on and on.

turn left hillary!! noo posted:Since I was the third in a row with the same answer, I'll edit this to say I've got 108 shrines but only 4 shrine quests left. Got a bit of hunting to do yet apparently. I haven't counted how many of the quests I've unlocked, but I have to think with all the wandering I've done the rest must be quests. I'll be very surprised if the slate sensor picks up a shrine again. With 108 shrines and four quests left, the majority of the remaining are not going to be questing shrines. Nearly all shrine quests only point to one shrine, and the one that can think of that does point to more than one shrine, each shrine that is pointed to also has its own separate shrine quest, in addition. So I'd say /most/ of your remaining shrines are probably non-obvious ordinary shrines that you wandered past because the Shiekah sensor was tracking something else at the time, or because another shrine became obvious when the hidden shrine was hidden. Of my last four shrines completed, three had no quest atached, Two were just hidden in out-of-the way places I hadn't spent much time exploring, one was the main Zora Domain shrine, whose puzzle I got frustrated with and had eventually quit attempting a month ago, and the last one was a shrine quest with a reputation for extreme frustration that made me a lot more reluctant to try it than I should have been.

housefly posted:You need them to upgrade some of the armor. Assuming you ignore jewelry/circlets and amibo armer, and try to get everything to level 4, you're eventually going to need... 45 pieces of Amber, 129 Luminous Stones, 45 opals, 15 Rubies, 15 Sapphires, and 30 topazes (along with various other ingredients) to upgrade all the armor in the game. This (admittedly slightly unintuitive) tool works to calculate what you need for upgrades based on what you have. http://www.volv.org/zelda/ That said, unless you are on a serious upgrade kick, it's definitely not worth attempting to hoard the luminous stones, (though you should probably keep about 10-20 of them to trade for diamonds if you are routinely using Champion weaponry.) Other gems probably only worth keeping about 10-20 at any one time as well.

I'm virtually certain the saving and quitting is not necessary. Since I'm the only one using my Switch, and I don't really have other games to play on it at this time, I quit the game very rarely (maybe once every two to three weeks) and let the Switch go into Sleep Mode when I'm not using it. But when I want Star Fragments,I just head to the top of Dueling Peaks, build the fire, face a direction with a good sky view, and wait until night, and then watch the sky until a Star Fragment falls or it's 3AM. One almost always does. If one does, I recover it, and if I need more, I just return to Dueling Peaks, drop another campfire, and wait for the following Night, and repeat the process.
