How the fuck you gonna give me a level 13 Knight's Halberd after a Major Test of Strength?

The real reward are those sweet, sweet
Guardian++
weapons. I've done the Major tests so often by now that all the
Guardian equip
I get has modifiers. Durability Lv. 2 is a godsend on these weapons *-*

If you equip a Fire or Ice sword and look at your thermometer it will blow your mind.

Also you can melt ice by just standing near it holding a fire weapon. And I think dropping more around it speeds up the melting. Useful if you want to tow aste fire arrows or durability hitting ice blocks.

Is there anything special about Guardian Shields? The ++ variant says
it can deflect Guardian Lasers but even a basic wooden boko shield can perfect parry reflect lasers and as far as I can tell, the Guardian Shield++ gets one shot like every other shield when simply blocking a Guardian Laser. The weapons at least can pierce Guardian armour.

Guardian Shields
deflect the beam without you having to parry. You still have to parry to kill them, but it can hit other things that try to attack you. They still break after a few hits, though.

I wish the WiiU version would let you fullscreen the images you've taken so you can export them properly...you just get a cut out with the UI line effects on it :(

Guess I won't be using it as much as I was hoping.

You can duck and then walk backwards and link will vanish and you can screenshot that way, though the hearts still show up in the pro hud (and you have to be ducked):

Weird because
I when I first got a ++ shield I almost immediately went to use it to practice parrying and it just got one shot.

How do I cook stuff? I am in the first area and a book in the old man's hut seems to suggest that I should combine food items to get an item

Press home screen. Go to abload on the browser, upload from the wii u, and it will give you a native shot. It even let's you choose what screen.

Real guardians will still fuck that shield up. It only auto-reflects the small machine-gun like beams from Nano-Bots. Their charged beam (the one they do at very low health) will also demolish the Shield.
 

Papercuts

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.

It autodeflects the smaller beams the grunt enemies use, not the super beam of death.

That's how I'm doing it...

If you don't use the camera you can duck and then walk backwards and Link will vanish and you can screenshot that way, though the hearts still show up in the pro hud (and you have to be ducked):

If you use the camera before going to abload it will have all the camera HUD elements visible...unless there's a way to turn those off? I've tried but not managed.

Sounds like you did what I did and went up too high, if you keep going down on the path you'll find it.

Anybody figure out how weapon scaling works in this game?

Doing Weapon Connoisseur quest and the boy wants to see Ancient Battle Axe+. But after doing 2 major tests of strength all i'm getting is Ancient Battle Axe++. Should i keep trying or just give up at this point? Or is there sure place/enemy type where I can get this weapon?

Oh, yeah. I was thinking about the shield that you buy from Robbie. And that takes a while to break.

Oh ok, you're pics looked really blurry was wondering. Mine come back a bit sharper. Also didn't understand you were specifically talking about the camera in game.

Look for Moderate test of strength? I think Major always drops ++

What's everyone's favourite weapons? I love the boomerangs, especially the giant boomerang. I often throw it at nothing just to hear the sound it makes as it flies.

I remember a hide UI option somewhere...that wasn't the pro mode...might be mis-remembering though.

It could have been the shiekah slate, I'll try that next time I load it up.

Maybe it looks worse as I'm grabbing the image off the gamepad? Not sure... will test that out next time too.

Knocking enemies over with a Hammer is so satisfying. Plus you get a chance they lose their weapon.
 
Heh what are the chances. I had 3 of the weapons the kid in hateno wanted to see on me at the same time. That was a nice way to get a bunch of rupees quickly.

Found the perfect way to save my good weapons (still desperate in need for new weapon slots): use only one strike with an electric weapon, watch the enemies drop their weapon in shock, drop my electric weapon, pick up their weapon and kill them with it. Repeat!
