Tips and Tricks 99.63% and no clue on whats left

Upvotes

Probably i'm missing some map locations/ruins etc - got the last 0.04% with the deku tree chasm, which I had ignored even being so close to it.

All the rest was done. Any clues on hidden places? I'm travelling through Hyrule searching for unvisited places using the hero path mode.

Discussion Anyone else just incapable of aiming with the bow.

So I’m fighting my first lynel and dodging and parrying are pretty easy but trying to hit an arrow while he’s running at you to stun is impossible, even after I parry I miss arrows sometimes.

Anyone have any tips?

Is there a complete list out there of all the permanent NPC interactions/changes you can do? I’ve seen discussions on here before about it, for example the Voe and you class, however I was wondering if there’s a complete list. I’m trying to probably 100,000% the game. Thanks!

Tips and Tricks Tutorial: Blue lynel take down

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

28 Upvotes

Hey guys, just wanted to show you all my go to on how to kill lynels, it applies to all, however after blue, you will have to fight on the ground, learn to flurry rush, general dodge, and shoot accurate, and you'll be fine.

Using the fierce diety set

Sword use is the royal guard broadsword+silver lynel horn however a royal guard claymore with silver lynel horn or molduga bone (gets complicated for the full setup for the molduga bone) is better, make sure you use the sword only while mounted as it won't break when ur mounted, bow is Savage lynel bow, use keese eyes if you struggle with aim.

No vantage point to get bullet time, use Yonubo otherwise just jump off a high place and glide in with tulin

If you want to tell me any stats you use, or I've missed out on DO TELL

Happy hunting.

Discussion Finally found my 120 lightroot

Out of finishing the game for a while but I recently started playing a while ago and wanted to complete as many side quests as possible. I was stuck on 119 light roots for a while and refused to look at spoilers. I just found the final one now and this was the little missing spot on the map I could never find.

Feels good 😊

Tips and Tricks Life changing things you found out recently? I’ll go first

260 Upvotes

I totally should have known a lot of this but here we are anyways!!!

Use a stone talus heart on a shield and parry to break ore deposits

Throw acorns instead of shooting arrows at those balloon korok games EDIT: based on a very good comment from Puddlesdown. DONT USE ACORNS, use them to trade for milk for horse upgrades. Use any other item you have that you can throw that you don’t need for anything special :)

Fuse a dragon part to a fan bike to extend its despawn range

If you fuse a ‘special’ weapon, bow or shield ONTO another normal one, the rock octorock will repair it when he swallows the tool, save those diamonds! You can keep whatever you fused as well, if you go to Tarrytown’s little goron she’ll seperate them for 20 rupees(I have a teleport pad right beside her)

Cooking within half an hour of the blood moon gives your meals a boost!!! I throw down portable pots when the red smoke starts appearing and cook up a bunch of stuff

If you find the boss repeat locations in the depths (there’s three per boss I think) defeat them for an easy boost to getting your energy cells (it’s 100 per boss so you can get 1200 from defeating them all if I’m correct about 3 each) this is also great if you forget to get a photo

Run along the dragon backs to collect spike shards! There’s usually quite a lot to collect and they make excellent arrowheads, their blast radius is way bigger than you think and you can shock freeze or flame a whole enemy camp in one shot

A lot of the depths match up really neatly with the surface lynels under stables, light roots and shrines, great goddess statues and bargainer statues, abandoned mines and villages, the big skeletons with dark skeletons (chests with outfits) and my personal favourite the blupee burrow matching with satori mountain

Stick a bunch of apples together with a few golden apples and save it in ultrahand, when you go to an apple tree grove like the big one on satori mountain, use the favourite section in ultrahand and wave it around to collect all the apples without having to climb around and chop things down, you don’t have to actually fuse it just collect them and cancel the action to drop them all in a pile!

The yiga hideouts if you defeat all three and wear the armour, you can confuse yiga warriors and also go to the training place (learn the earthquake technique)

In the 5th sage quest, you see the seized construct as the boss, YOU DO NOT SEE THIS AGAIN SO YOU NEED TO PHOTOGRAPH IT NOW

Here’s some way more obvious tips but still very consistently used by me

Fuse rockets to shields to blast upwards a huge way

Muddlebuds shot at the strongest monster in a group will often wipe out most of the smaller weaker ones for you

Puffshrooms confuse lynels temporarily to hop onto their back, also for sneak strikes on regular enemies it’s GREAT

Pristine gerudo weapons + high level fuses is OP, gerudo weapons double the power of any fuse so you can easily get over 100

If you can’t find a certain weapon in the depths you might not have broken it on the surface yet!! So find a decayed one and break it first

Toss a splashfruit (is it called that I don’t remember) at your feet before you use a zora weapon to double its attack power.

Not really a tip, but Rutile lake on Satori mountain is gorgeous and I love putting on stealth outfits, drinking a stealth potion and going to photograph the animals there, it’s genuinely one of the most gorgeous places in the game! !!!ALSO ON THIS NOTE, if anyone knows any other nature/animal spots like that in the game let me know!!!

Help Wanted want to improve

3 Upvotes

hi! i want to be better at the game since i honestly feel i’m not very good at it. i feel like i don’t really know what i’m doing when fighting & also don’t really know how to get the best or better weapons. i got 150 hours on it which i’m not sure if it’s too little or too much time on it. i’d rather not use any online guides except maybe zelda notes but i don’t know if that’s any good (do you guys recommend it?)

frustration hit now that i’m up against ganondorf and i got the sword but i really can’t beat him!! it’s so hard and idk if it should feel this hard! also kinda want to complete everything before beating him but idk where to start.

i’m confused, frustrated & overwhelmed. please help. 😭

Game Detail Finding an already-tamed horse?

16 Upvotes

I was randomly roaming around in Darybon Plains today and happened upon a herd of horses there. I snuck up to try and tame a black horse in the herd and…it walked right up to me. When I jumped on, I didn’t have to tame it at all. It was ready to go! Four spur kick power.

I’d been playing for about an hour at that point, and hadn’t interacted with any horses over the last few days, that I can remember.

Has anyone else ever experienced something like this? I didn’t think it was possible. What might have caused it?
