Is there quests that can only be started after finishing B
?
There's a couple of quests I heard about here and haven't been able to find
and there's at least a
I also think I'm missing 8-10 shrine quests, and I've now spent a LOT of time in the game (half of the koroks without help, for example). I wonder if there's quests NPC that only appears once you've done something.

- even maxing stamina uses only 40 shrines, so you can still get it with barely
The requirement is so low that I can't see why it could be remotely an issue.

Well:
- there's an NPC that actually takes you to a place where
you can exchange stamina for hearts and back
- even maxing stamina uses only 40 shrines, so you can still get it with barely
50% of the shrines: 24 more shrines and 4 beasts... or you can get it after max stamina and before the first beast after having bested 2/3 of the shrines
The requirement is so low that I can't see why it could be remotely an issue.
If you really can't do this, and can spare some cash...
Go buy half a dozen ancient arrows and do it the cheap way
No stealth required
It should be better than murdering someone
What's that weapon?

Finding all the memories earlier and glided from one of the towers over some lava. Link combusted midair because the air was air was too thin and hot from the lava underneath him.
I love this game because of these details.

One of the salvage lynel weapons.
Are humans cannibals for eating terrestrial animals? I don't follow you.
Even then, you need to find the forest, and then figure your way through.

As above
(no and no,)
It's visually metaphorical in multiple ways in regard to the language of the clues.

one of the lynel weapon drops.
this one is north of death mountain, next to the dinosaur bones.
make sure to have good armor and a defense potion on hand because this guy hits HARD.

There's a plank you can use Magnesis on.
Although I climbed a high point and glided. I found the plank afterwards

p cool that Link rotates his sword in the direction the player rotates the control stick when performing the manual spin attack.

Found my first motion shrine. Golf. It was as bad as everyone said it would be. I finished it and got the chest and still don't understand how what I was doing with the joycons correlated to what the club was doing.
Three other things:
1. Beat a purple Lynel. Dropped a savage Lynel spear. Was not as good as I expected. 20 attack? Broke it to knock a b oulder down a hill. Which brings me to...
2. Fuuuuck this boulder korok challenge in Akkala. Down a hill, up a hill, over a lip, the goal a huge distance away from where the boulders spawn. And a Lynel in the middle of it? Who came up with this cruel joke?
3. Why does the Skull Lake shrine act like a shrine quest reward?

If you have a heavy enough weapon, you can use magnesis with it to push the boulder around. I used the Boulder Breaker, not sure if it actually works with anything else
Speaking of which, why am I having such a hard time doing that now? I used to be able to do it pretty consistently, but now it only happens on like 1 out of 8 tries. What could I be doing wrong?

Does it just rain all the time in certain areas that aren't Zora's Domain pre-DB? The rain might be the absolute worst shit about this game.
I just try and ensure that I go slightly passed 360 degrees (like 370-80) and do it smoothly and quickly. Definitely doesn't seem to work with a strict 360.

Thank you!
Same. I think the holiday DLC is going to be bananas.

What makes you think the Yiga would return in the DLC?
Haha so I thought I had completed the cedar tree quest, but it turns out it was a different shrine, even though it seemed similar to the little girl's story.
The search continues!
Edit: aaaaaand I found it
There are leviathan remains hidden in the mountains, with a shrine located in its skeleton (it's belly) And it's northwest of the cedar tree.
Edit: aaaaaand I found it
And with lanayru tower, my map is complete.
In lanayru, there is a large mountain with a water-filled caldera on top. It is unnamed, and just to the south of the Zora village. The sides are difficult to climb in the rain. The only thing I can find up here is a stone, with a hot-footed frog underneath. Is that it? I feel like I am missing something. This has been the most difficult area for me to reach in all my time playing, it is a unique map structure, and seems like an obvious place for a korok puzzle or shrine. But as far as I can tell there is nothing up here. Should I give up searching or stick around for a while longer?

Plus that flat-topped rock in the Gerudo desert and the outcrop at the Rito village.
Wait - are there things to do there or
that's just where they end up afternoon you've completed them
I have found use for one of these spots in a side quest. There's probably more
since they act as fast travel points
?
BTW, I said goodbye to both Kass and Hudson yesterday. Really liked those quest chains and how they ended. Both chains are mandatory for anyone playing the game, IMO.

I'll check back later.
Stayed up way too late tonight, trying to find the remaining great fairies. Did stumble onto a couple of unique locations, but didn't find what I was looking for. Pinned a few more curious map shapes to check next time I play.
I somehow made it to the Zora king without initiating the quest to find Zora's domain. So I got the quest and quest completion markers at the same moment. NPCs kept directing me to Sidon on some bridge, but I never saw the bridge, and he was in the throne room when I got there. I think I missed some content. Anything worthwhile?
Stumbled across two shrine quests in regions I had previously been to. One was
I thought this was a simple but clever idea.
For the second session in a row I couldn't stop discovering Koroks. Some were in places I hadn't been before but some were in locations I've been to plenty of times. So often I'll travel a well-journeyed road or climb a hill I've climbed previously and only then discover a suspicious rock to pick up or a flower to chase.
I discovered it's quite easy to spot some of the identical fruit tree locations on the map. Just zoom in and look for three brown blobs in a straight line. I found four Koroks this way.
I'm also getting better at 'reading' the map and predicting Korok locations. Tiny, random spots of land in lakes, hills, dense forests. I picked about a dozen locations to check out just by reading the map and I think I found Koroks in nine or ten of those.
Current progress:
All towers unlocked.
Three divine beasts.
9/12 captured memories.
97 shrines.
227 Koroks.
About to embark on the final divine beast quest (Medoh).
the crowned beast, in which you must mount a stag and take it to the pedestal.

after like 200 hours it's time for me to enter the final lap. The problem is, I don't want to leave this world, it's so beautiful and there's always some litle corner to discover
120/120 shrines
all towers unlocked
all Fairies found
finished the Compendium
all Divine Beasts
7/12 memories
200 odd Korok seeds (looking for them is a pain, sigh)
maximized Ancient Armour
GOTY for me, probably GOTG. For my personal preference, had Nintendo taken a page from TES and added books and lost letters to read in order to delve deep into the lore, it would probably be the best game I've ever played in 32 years of gaming. It's a staggering achievement. I'm not against the way Zelda introduces you to it by showing/assuming and not by reading an ancient text, but with a world so massive and old and populated by so many races I would have preferred a TES like depth when it comes to fleshing out the history of those races and what the hell they did during their over ten thousand years of existence
that's the only single gripe I have with BOTW

It's all related to the npc that's atop the tower at the base of zoras domain. It's the games gentle nudge to guide you up the mountain to the town to meet the king. Nothing significant. You probably missed a minor quest to
learn the zora history by reading those big stone tablets all over the zone
Interesting... I knew about the minigame, not the "reward"...
I was trying to find all shrines before doing the titans, it seems I can't do this... I wonder how many shrines are locked behind titans.
Can you tell me whether there's a requirement for this quest to start? Is it a NPC in the town? (if it is, I'm pretty sure there's a prerequisite)
I think it only becomes a quest after finishing the divine beast. There are 3 or 4 of those in the zora place

I had the same exact thought about getting better at reading the map and exploring. I want to write a fuckin essay about how good the Korok seeds are as a device to basically teach you how to fully explore the game world in ways you might not otherwise.
Also, can anyone gently nudge me in the direction of the Rubber set chest piece? I seem to have somehow missed and I reeeeally want the full set but I've explored so much and not been able to find it. A vague hint would be appreciated
I really think Korok is a wonderful way to promote exploration, but I can't understand how people are reaching 800+ without help of a list, map or at least a per-area count...
Does one of those is related to the
? Just a yes/no will suffice
That's all I wanted to know... Not surprising.
Does one of those is related to the
Dagah Keek Shrine
Alright, that's not too bad. I saw a few of those tablets on the way. Found the helmet one of them clues you in on, love finding those kinds of puzzles to work out.
I'm at 220 without really looking, and have barely touched half the map. I don't think it's too unlikely patient players are finding 800 or more.
