Recommended element provides a significant damage boost for your character. You need to unlock all the level 1 2 and 3 weapons to get the first master sword buff

A poster on GameFAQs who has previously compiled lots of information on Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition has made pictures of all the Adventure Mode Maps so that you're able to see what square has what color (alongside additional information such as general KO and damage taken requirements on zones). It should prove helpful for letting you know what squares to grind your Lv. 4/4+ weapons on.

Yeah, I was in a mission on the Lorule map that required me to play as Zelda with the baton, I had the second lightning defense badge and completely normal (not glowing) generals were hitting for like 6 hearts.

That's an extremely useful guide. Thanks for linking it! Question though: What do those mentions at the bottom right mean? Do you get double materials for playing missions on the Twilight map? Or do you unlock double material drops when you clear it?

The former. It's a very good place for farming materials, much like Grand Travels is a very good place for farming Food (and Termina and Lorule are very good places for farming weapons).

Does anyone know what this treasure icon that looks like an evil water bomb is on the Master Quest map?

I've never seen it before, compass doesn't reveal any searchable tiles, and I didn't find anything even after capturing all the keeps and smashing all the jars.

How do you tell what type the food is? I used to be able to tell in the 3DS version but I can't for the life of me find where it tells you that in the Switch one.

I think the only way to tell in game is to first have a fire faerie, then highlight a food. If she smiles then its her element.

To confirm what Oxyclean said, that icon is a food. According to the guide on Gamefaqs, you missed a jar in the enemy base. Something I've certainly done before.

Wait, so when it says 200% it means i can lose my full healthbar twice over before dropping to B rank?

How does that correlate with the number in the pause menu, is that the same % figure?

Isn't there a maximum of 5 weapon drops per mission? I think "increased weapon cap" ups that limit.

Oof, I've been restarting things after I get taken to 125.

Though now I've got Twilight Midna at level 185 and a 5* 4+ weapon it seems like every mission with two characters is a total breeze now.

The 10000 kill skills just take a weapon up to the cap damage right? I've got one for her to unlock and wasn't sure if it would make any difference to the weapon I've got.

Came back to it after a break playing Octopath Traveler and got the final Lv. 4+ weapons for every character. This means I could potentially get every weapon to drop for me, unlocking them and fulfilling the requirements for unsealing the Master Sword skills before I even get that drat sword.

I gave my husband's little brother my copy of the original Wii U version for his birthday because I don't need it anymore.

All excited, he asked if I would play with him. I said sure! All he had was a Wii remote and nunchuk for me to use but the game box says you can use those so I figured that was no problem.

I was wrong. I was SO SO wrong. I had forgotten that if you use the Wiimote you have to use loving waggle for normal attacks. WAGGLE. For NORMAL ATTACKS. You know, those things you spam all the time and need actual timing for to pull off combos?! I NOPED so hard. My arm would be ready to fall off after just one map. Next time I'll make sure my Pro Controllers are actually charged, because sweet Christ that is some bullshit.

The l little guy was still thrilled though. He beat the first Adventure square himself. :3: Wizzro is his favorite.

Playing this game with kiddos is a treat. I've been playing with my girlfriend's oldest son and I love the stories he comes up with as we play. He loves playing as Ganondorf, except he's a good Ganondorf, and it's his evil brother that's taken over Hyrule. But his evil brother destroyed his swords which is why he "can only" use the Trident :3:

When you're fighting Gibdos, occasionally a bow and arrow prompt will appear above their heads (after they've performed a particular attack, I think). What does hitting them with an arrow actually do here? It doesn't seem to trigger a weak point or anything, as far as I could tell hitting them with arrows just froze them for a second? I find them annoying to fight because you have to kind of keep your distance, but then you don't get much time to move in and hit their weak points.

e: Unless you can dodge or block their scream attack when you're within the radius of it? Is that possible?

Whenever you see that icon, hit the enemy with the appropriate weapon (different enemy types have different item weaknesses) and you'll gently caress up their big attack. It'll hit other enemies instead of you, and their weak point will be exposed longer.

How unsightly.
Gibdos are great because even if you're like me and gently caress up and get frozen all the time, if it's the big Bow version you can just mash the item button and still hit the vulnerability once you unfreeze.

Gibdos and Redeads are the worst though because they can like, cancel out of their Weak point gauge into another super attack without warning.

When you hit an enemy with the item it's weak to while that prompt is on screen, the attack they do next, usually signaled with blue particle effects, will not hurt you and will also suck in enemies while also exposing their weak point gauge. The idea is to hit them with that, close the distance while they're hurting the other enemies, then deplete the WPG and get the whole group at once.

I find it's usually not worth it to do the item weak points for anything that has Bombs because you actually have to line up the bomb throw arc and moblins never seem to be vulnerable long enough. I also skip it with boomerang-weak enemies because stalmasters and darknuts often do attacks that leave their WPG exposed. For the rest though, it's a good thing to attempt, especially against gibdos and redeads.

hookshot against aerolfos or whatever is also good, and usually you can prep in advance for it if they do that knockback burst. i wish there was a better way to switch items or you could do it while paused though.

Yeah I got it working with Wizzrobes, I don't know why it didn't seem to do anything for the Gibdos though. The arrows really did just seem to freeze them, they didn't do any attack from what I could see. The game can be chaotic though, so maybe I just missed it.

One thing that's bothering me is the targeting system. The game keeps switching targets on me, seemingly if the camera gets focused on another targetable enemy. Sometimes it might be if I move far from the enemy I had targeted (which is sometimes necessary). It's annoying when you're waiting for the WPG to show up, suddenly the target changes and the camera shifts. :argh:

Davoren

The devil you say!

Items have a use outside of these counter attacks, the bow causes a bit of a slow/stun effect on enemies, so what likely happened is you just barely missed the prompt so got the regular bow effect instead.
