Not only did i run out, but you can also not teleport out of that area. you have to literally run back to the start and tell your Goron friend you wanna stop the ascend.

I would've seriously had to take a break if restarting the sequence would've led to monsters as well as

After finishing the game, there's one thing in particular that I don't like and that is that all the of the game's bosses are so easy? It's easier getting killed in the wild.

It's almost impossible to die on a boss

and you can have so many items on you that you can refill your life forever while even pausing to do so. Of course, I could resist and not do it, but the option is there...

That's really something that needs to be changed in hard mode. I literally have three pages worth of Full Heal+ Temp HP meals. And another few hundred hearts worth of ingredients I didn't bother cooking up. As long as something doesn't kill you in one hit it might as well have never happened. And even if you refrain from doing that, there's still

and Fairies. If you want to be a huge pussy you can also always just teleport out of combat. My last actual death must have been 30 hours ago or so.

Is there a reason you're refusing to buy the fireproof armor set from the Goron town?

Woof, finally checked the log and I've clocked 35 hours on BoTW in the last week. That's...probably way too much time for me to have spent on games for one week. It's just so good...

[MiamiWesker]

I'm about 50 hours in and have done only one beast, I get OCD about open worlds and try to see everything before moving on and now I have gone like 15 hours without moving the story forward and it's hurting the experience.

There is a lot of repetition in this world. Koroks are like 15 variations on the same thing done a ton of time over. Shrines have begun to repeat. Riddle shrines with the bird are too simple. Enemy bases are mostly the same. Way too many Bokobins all over. The same three hinox scattered all over. I've killed 4 lynel, first few times it's awesome then it becomes repetition too.

I am on the south southeast corner of the map and there just isn't much to do outside the usual actitivites you see all over. It's all beautiful, the gameplay is fantastic, but I miss the more structured level design of past zeldas. For me any of the four areas of MM is far more interesting with better variety of things to do than one of these huge sections of land with no town or beast. Smaller game with better level design focused on unique gameplay situations I feel is better than being gigantic just for the sake of being gigantic.

It's still a fantastic game but I am pretty sure I prefer old zelda over this. I really hope this is a one time experiment and they keep the gameplay system enhancements but rethink the giant open world and total freedom aspect for future zelda games.

 

[Aaronrules380]

why didn't you just buy fire armor?

You can also get one piece (which is all you need) for free in the southern mines on the way to goron city by giving a guy 10 fireproof lizards, which are all over the place in that area

I approve of this thread title.

I'm now doing random stuff. Conquered the second dungeon... but I have no Idea which one I should tackle now.

Can something clarify Impa says after doing the first big mission in the Captured Memories quest?

One piece to be able to walk around in the Village

Two pieces to be able to walk around on the peak of Death Mountain. Works just like Heat/Extreme Heat and Cold/Extreme Cold.

Yeah, sometimes you need two pieces of armour. usually the head is more expensive so just buy the pants and the shirt

How can I survive the deep cold? The warm doublet isn't working. Will the ruby circlet work?

 

[Not Spaceghost]

So here is some useful knowledge

The woodcutters axe has like the 3rd highest durability of all melee weapons. So it's super handy to keep them around.

Completion is

Idk if you can see your playtime ingame anywhere. Activity Log on WiiU and I guess Parental Controls app on Switch?

How can I survive the deep cold? The warm doublet isn't working. Will the ruby circlet work?

You need to wear two pieces of armor with cold resistance, or one piece + Lv. 1 food buff, or one piece + fire weapon, or zero pieces and Lv. 2 food buff, or zero pieces and Lv. 1 food buff + fire weapon (why tho lol).

yeah, i kinda made up some headcanon that it's "armor protects you from extreme heat" "armor + potion" protects you from extreme-fuck-off-heat and went with it. It bit me in the ass big time just now.

Take a regular cold elixir or plate of food and it will stack with the doublet. Just ran across Lanryu doing this.

Shoot an arrow into their eye when they charge it. Attack inbetween. Preferably with Guardian Weapons.
