sted Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 well checked my progress on botw (theres a percentage on the map that shows you but as it was next to the temp i thought it was chance of rain lol) and after over 85 hours ive hit 23.9% lol now up to 90 shrines and very few korok seeds theres no way im ever 100%ing this lol
Tesla Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I've just done the second Divine Beast, i've found about 11 Korok seeds so far, there's 900 of them to be found! what the hell?!

Out of curiosity what order did you do the beasts in it seems most people do the zora one first i think i did zora, rito, goron then gurudo

Tesla Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 To be fair, you only need about 414 to max out everything. Still I think it shows the enormity of the game itself. What to do next is the key...
X-13 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Still I think it shows the enormity of the game itself. What to do next is the key... Travel from one end to the other [longitude, latitude or a jaunty angle, dealers choice] without touching the floor. Loads of fire arrows are needed for updrafts.

X-13 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I feel like this is one of those lame jokes coming up, but, what's updrafts? A draft that goes up... Set fire to grass and, if set up properly, it throws you higher into the air when gliding. No jokes. Just science.
DJ-1701 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I feel like this is one of those lame jokes coming up, but, what's updrafts? Was tempted to set up an account called Drafts and reply with 'Not much dawg, and you?'. 4

sted Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 A draft that goes up... Set fire to grass and, if set up properly, it throws you higher into the air when gliding. No jokes. Just science. biggest issue with that is stamina (im all but max out just need 2 more orbs) and later in the game its not as useful. Found a load more Korok seeds while wandering arounf the start area (needed lots and lots (about 100 all told) wood for a very long multi part side quest so i just went back there and started lobbing bombs everywhere (after the master"axe" needed to recharge again lol) so currently at 92 shrines and 50 odd korok seeds iirc. Spent hours last night finding a few more shrines/bits. granted im using a map to show me where shrines are but im finding others while looking for them. i really dont get how you are supposed to open some with the info given like one i needed to do a specific thing at a specific time of day in a fairly specific place. I also no have more armor for cold/hot conditions just need stuff so its got better defense than 3(each 9 total) as my usual kit my defence is 70 odd Keep meaning to go explore the tingle islands but keep getting side tracked. Found a load of new side quests in zoras domain as i dodnt think id been back there since the story closed off that area and i went to the next bit
Tesla Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 I do think Zelda chat needs to go to the other thread that i think @X-13 made? ( i wish to talk more about it but don't want to flood the thread) @localzuk ? You said you'd split stuff off for us if need be?

Tesla Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Beautiful. Accidentally threw a spear yesterday when in a shrine. Carried on spending 15 or so minutes working out the shrine. Turns out it landed in the bottom of one of the "trays" where you need the stone balls to land, causing me to have to leave and comeback, was quite amusing. Spent most of my evening last night exploring, I now have to get to the forest, as the guy for the Korok seeds has finally made his way. Think that's on the list to do tonight. and after a wee chat with @X-13 last night, must make anote of paying more attention to the guy who remembers the locations on your slate.
RichCowell Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 I've bought the Switch and Zelda after getting hooked on OoT on the N64 back in 99... not had a console since, and really having to think about BotW!! I'm doing things in a completely random order, and given up with too many shrines... Two weeks off for Easter the week after next, with only Zelda on my to-do list!!

I had a shrine the other day where you had to use one of the big metal cubes and magnesis, to drag a high up treasure chest down to get it. i spent about 2-30 minutes trying to work it out, then ended up looking at the guide. I don't ever think i'd of thought about doing that! crazy how much thinking some of the game needs.

It's good and I'm loving it, but I'm usually too done-in and out of brain-power by the time I get home to play... Edited March 29, 2017 by RichCowell
Tesla Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 I've found things a lot easier since i stumbled across the Great Thunderblade weapon. That thing makes mincemeat out of the 400HP Yiga Clan people.
X-13 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 That thing makes mincemeat out of the 400HP Yiga Clan people. The rando ones? I just stun-lock them with a spear.
Tesla Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 I always find spears very breakable, but yes i try to use spears a lot, find attacks with them very quick.

I'm doing things in a completely random order, and given up with too many shrines... Two weeks off for Easter the week after next, with only Zelda on my to-do list!! OOT was the game that put me off zelda for years. never had an n64 but i got it free with mario kart double dash and i absolutely hated it (i really loved and still do a link to the past i think botw is the first game to come close to knocking that of my top zelda game ever but its too new to tell yet) i diddnt play another zelda game till link between worlds. Ive since completed windwaker hd, twilight princess hd and skyward sword. fwiw my zelda game rankings 1 botw/lttp 3 link between worlds 4 skyward sword 5 windwaker hd 6 twlilight princess dead last OOT id rather play spirit tracks (and ive tried again with the 3ds version and i still dont like it) The rando ones? I just stun-lock them with a spear. havnt seen any of those in a while just their pointless archers there are some really annoying shrines but ive got to a point where after they really start to honk me off i use the book to look up as little info as possible to give me a hint as thats usually all i need. Thunderblade is good while it lasts and is pretty effective against guardians esp with one of the things you get for beating a divine beast
Tesla Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Got to the Forest yesterday, not yet strong enough to pull out the sword.... also the shrine in there (star constellations) I COULD NOT understand, even when i read the guide their hints made no sense to me, i just had to look at the pictures in the end. I am now at Death mountain, so 3rd divine beast is next on the list.
sted Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 did a few more side quests ast night/this morning and found more shrines so i now have stamina maxed out. wasted 2/3 of my ancient arrows on things i missed. Finally got over to tingle islands wonder why there are flying guardians there i cant see anything obvious. it seems to be in a thunder/rain cycle atm got hallway up a steep cliff and it started with the thunder and lightning so i just stayed there for what seemed like forever waiting for better weather and still diddnt make it to the top fell off and drowned lol. Then to be really annoying carrying a mcguffin from point a - b killed all the enemies blooodmoon rose one appeared about 2 foot infront of me dropped the mcguffin to kill him and it rolled down hill into a pool of lava rarrgghh on the plus side more korok seeds and im approaching 26% completion iirc lol and ive got loads of red chu jelly to upgrade some armour and only 20 odd shrines left
