The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild

[Daisy Jane]

i FINALLY found the snowbowling game. made 4,800 rupees very quickly.
i am finding a lot more stuff then i did in my first game.

 

[Afino]

I just sold gems for over 10,000 total rupees

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Turns out out the gems are used only to craft certain pieces of armor and the type of gem determines what kind of resistance it will have. A character will be able to craft them for you if you complete their sidequest. Not being able to craft elemental weapons is a real bummer.

Basically, sell the gems. Honestly I never thought elemental damage was an issue. Dodging enemies is a bit too easy in this game if you ask me.

 

[Unholy]

I sold some and always made sure to stay in the double digits just in case I needed them. Used some of them for the resistance pieces but really don't think I'll need them.

yeah, I kept a handful of each, but I had like 65 luminous stones

 

[Daisy Jane]

is the elephant divine beast the only one you don't see a cut scene terrorizing the people?

 

[Daisy Jane]

also re: gems. there are 7 rare gem Stone Talui around the world. knowing THAT + they come back all the time, yah i'm selling mah gems lmao.

i think (not just the equipment) - there's one set of armour that needs gems but those are very easily found.

 

[Afino]

Going around trying to get all the towers. Three more today, put two more on my pins for tomorrow.

I havnt been able to dodge a single lynel attack yet

 

[oXo Cube]

I have no issue with the sword or the spear Lynels, but the one and only time I challenged one with a giant hammer was a lesson in pain. Not doing that again.

In any case they're pretty easily the most powerful overworld unit I've ever come across. Much stronger than the actual bosses.

 

[Daisy Jane]

I am determined to Lynel farm. they buff up some armour.
but honestly even Guardians don't bug me, but these buggers. ..

True, I have a hard time against them as well.

Found a silver one in the coliseum ruins but with my fourth level armor I just took the hits and pummeled it into submission.

Definitely will look to keep heart totals and armor levels low for my second pkaythrough.

 

[Daisy Jane]

i just killed a lynel. took a mighty elixir and three maximum hearts dishes (and 4 fairies) to get that sucker. holy. moses. a lot of "RUN LINK!" no "WHY ARE YOU ON THE GROUND LINK!" DAMNIT, LINK FLY!!!" before i got him.

that + the edge of duality. which is NOT the best weapon to use in a Lynel fight. I also triggered a couple of Flurry attacks. HOW, i don't know, but thank god I did because i was one hit KO away.

 

[Randallooch]

I've got the Lynels down to where I rarely get hit, especially the ones that wield swords. I have yet to encounter one with a hammer though. Managed to get a Savage Lynel Shield with 81 defense, which is my best haul yet.

Melee attack: Jump back
Charge with weapon: Jump back
Charge without weapon: Jump to the side
Fireball attack: Sprint to the side and after the third shot, shoot him in the head to stagger him. When staggered, you can run up and mount them to get a couple free shots in.
AoE Explosion Attack: Just run away and then run back in. Never let a Lynel pull out his bow.

I think the Lynels that use Spears have a leaping attack that you just need to run away from because it has an AoE effect as they land.

 

[Daisy Jane]

best death ever.
go up a waterfall - get a korok - ran out of stamina and crashed down on a platform - NOT into the waterfall - triggered a fairy, but i found a hidden strine

 

[Pilky01]

Two divine beasts down (Ruto temple and Zora temple), two to go.

my issue is jumping back at the right time. i either do it too early (not triggering a flurry attack) or too late, and he whacks me and Link is so stunned he moves groggly and can't move fast enough and i get walloped again.

also these stupid beasts of burden have incredible !'s because he saw me, and i ran away and i thought i was safe, and then all of a sudden it's raining shock arrows. the hell?!

I did the Goron one instead of the Ruto for my 2nd.

I wandered around like an idiot before I figured out the 2nd phase boss I felt dumb because it's pretty obvious in hindsight what you need to do. MUCH easier than the Zora temple.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

The bird dungeon was weak as hell.

The other three were great.

yah. i always thought you know. the Bird one easily could have been the first one you do (in terms of difficulty), vs. the others where there is some damage.

Thing is, getting onboard requires a lot of stamina!

 

[Afino]

Got my 2nd memory today while en route to the last couple of towers. That one was much easier than the first - my 7 year old pointed out "dad, go on that rock!"

 

[Daisy Jane]

yah it did nd even cheesing stamina food for that one is kinda risk.

i just realised i can't copy/paste over my second file to my first file. so it's going to bother me now that my second file has all these goodies (and so i should play everything else in my dummy file) vs. my original file.

(like it really matters because since you only have ONE file, even if i 100 percented everything in my next playthrough i would have had to delete everything. but still. it bugs me )

Any good place to stock up on arrows in Hyrule? Right now I'm bouncing from town to town (and the Akkala lab) to restock periodically. There's gotta be a better way.

I usually bounce back and forth between stables and hit up Beedle. Gerudo has a bunch for sale, and Kakariko has a decent inventory.

There is a glitch in the game where you can find a bunch of bokoblins on horseback, raise the camera to a bird's eye view, and they cannot hit you. Their arrows will pepper the ground around you and are available for pickup.
