Stasis whatever you're floating and apply new balloons.

That... doesn't seem fun at all.

My horse can't swim. It just stands at the water's edge.

You know what they say about leading a horse to water.

Kill it.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

I call bullshit. Can anyone confirm this?

I don't know what triggers it. Maybe the weather? I found several shrines this way.

Found a random traveler who told me he heard a rumor that

you could mount a Lionel. I did it. Can't tame it or anything, but you can beat it while you're riding it.

:O

If you hunt an animal in a really cold place, the meat will become frozen if you dont pick it up quickly.

 

[Busaiku]

Not really a "you can do that", but "it's actually that"...

I stand corrected! Thanks.

Has anyone confirmed the "renew weapon durability through rusting & octorok" theory yet?

 

[Lilo_D]

cus I'm near death mount
There is a hot spring
If you throw an egg in it, the egg will be cooked into hot spring egg
Also in this hot spring if you lift a heavy stone and walk in a relatively deep water you will find yourself walk faster

 

[GaimeGuy]

There are these really short pillars of light at various areas in the field. I'm 99.9% sure koroks are there, but I have no idea how to get them. (not the ones that zig zag around that you have to catch). What am I supposed to do? :X

 

[Golgo 13]

Maybe I didn't read it correctly, but I did throw a few weapons at Octoroks and they all just broke. Maybe they need to be rusted?

 

[Smeags]

Instead of renting a sand seal, just bomb a wild one to phase it. Go up behind it and youre good to go!

Just be aware that if you disconnect, itll try to waddle away haha.

Needs to be octorocks on death mountain.

I can verify that it doesn't work. Normal weapons don't rust after being placed in water, damaged weapons don't repair after being spat out by an Octorok.

[Totakeke]

Well it takes a long time to rust metal. How long did you wait for it to rust?

 

[Man God]

Not sure...that's why I'm asking. Saw it on another forum, but no one had confirmed it. Normally I wouldn't give it a second thought but this game has so many secrets that it wouldn't surprise me.

Edit: Here's where I read it (5th post): https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/189707-the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/75062418

That memories thing is bunk. I had all 13 before I got the master sword and I needed...13 hearts.

You can't swim while on the horses back, it swims on it's own, but most of the time it will avoid water if it can. I think it might even refuse to follow you if it has to swim to reach you, but if it ends up in the water, it can swim on it's own.

 

[Spinifex]

Longer than I care to admit. I got trolled good.

[DonutTurtle]

Complete the thunderhelm side quest to get it in gerudo town. It makes you immune to lightning strikes. Run around in a thunderstrom with metal against enemies for destructive results.

 

[Crayolan]

If you grab a Cuccoo and run into a battle, hit it twice and then set it down near an enemy or throw it at them and when the enemy hits it they'll be swarmed by Cuccoos.

Spoiler

I wonder if that would work on the last boss

🤔

I brought a cucco to the last boss but it didn't aggro the boss. I didn't do the "hit it twice" thing though, is that necessary? Do you have to hit it a few times before it will aggro enemies? If so I'll check again.

 

[Sullichin]

bomb arrow a tree twice = instant campfire

 

[Totakeke]

Such a waste of bomb arrows

I think fire weapons get a free hit on lighting wood up, since you're not really hitting on anything.

 

[KarmaCow]

The set bonus on the Rubber Set also has the unshockable attribute making you immune to lightning strikes.

Keep. Stepping. On. The. Lady's. Flowers. Holy S***!

 

[Spainkiller]

Even if it would work, it's a pretty useless system if it really takes for it to kick in. Dropped weapons disappear if you fast-travel, enter shrines or do anything else that causes the area to reload, so that means that you'd have to wait in the actual area while it rusts.

Meh. Just get on with the game then; it's easy to get new powerful weapons anyway.

Keep. Stepping. On. The. Lady's. Flowers. Holy S***!

Hahaha, yeah, that shat me up too.

 

[Busaiku]

One of my horses got stuck in the water.
Had to board it to get it out.

This is freakin amazing. Its not even relying on glitches or anything. Just using all the tools at his disposal.

The shield bomb jump blew my mind.

 

[Busaiku]

120 Shrine runs of this game will be the most amazing things.

 

[Cuburt]

While people finding ways to skip the puzzles in the shrines is interesting (and high level play it seems), I'm way more interested in seeing more pro combat.

I've seen some really great clips and gifs floating around since launch, but I'm excited to see what people figure out in really high level, flashy combat scenarios.

 

[jariw]

Cutting grass will reveal insects, reptiles and life-saver "fairies". The content that can be found in the grass seems to be based on location, weather and ToD. I've found areas with grass containing huge amount of fairies.

 

[Symphonia]

Throwing a rusty weapon into a those baloon enemies (forgot their name) will net you a new weapon. They will chew on it and spit them out brand new. You can also repair damaged weapons that way.

This changes everything.

 

[Spinifex]

This changes everything.

The repairing weapons bit is not true.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Why bomb arrow? Just use the bomb module?

I thought it sounded like trolling, personally.

Oh, sorry - I had a flashback

 

[correojon]

There is a really cool secret room of death beneath one of the mazes.

Also in the shrine you access once you save the singing rito, you climb up a long ladder and you can hear music very quietly in the background

Which maze? I´v heard people saying one of the mazes had an awesome secret, must be this you´re refferring to and I´d love to see it

My favorite in one of those is the dude holding a chicken for an enemy to hit and the usual chicken crazyness happened to the monster

You probably already saw it, but that's a good start:

You can use Stasis on pressure plates to keep them pressed down. Pretty useful for some shrines.

Thanks for sharing that.

Aren´t all 3 labyrinths called that? Do you mean the one in the Gerudo, Hera or Akkala region?

I wasn't trying to troll, I didn't know that.

It's the one that in the upper right part of the map, the non-diamond shaped maze without the symmetry.
