I couldnt even do it cheating with a fecking YT walkthru ;_;
I have a real shit sense of direction and the spinning tubes confuse my stupid brain.

i never went back after the shitty water boss, just can’t be bothered
― reverse-periscoping (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 18 February 2018 22:48 (six years ago) link
That boss was the easiest one!
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 18 February 2018 22:56 (six years ago) link
And the bosses are totally worth doing for the champion boons they give you - Miphas extra life spell, and the Rito's airjump are especially useful.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 18 February 2018 22:57 (six years ago) link
I found wind and water easiest, and yeh the added abilities are super useful

fuck this electro dude

That boss was the easiest one!sure, i wasn’t having fun and just can’t be arsed with it. maybe if i collect enough heart containers or whatever.
― reverse-periscoping (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 18 February 2018 23:32 (six years ago) link
Well yeah, dont go into the bosses on 3 hearts and no weapons. I didnt even go near them til I had over twice that, the master sword, and some decent armour and powerups.

But I'm also someone who, as Ive said heaps, can just wander around picking mushrooms, galloping on my souped-up black steed (he has the cool Ancient saddle that means I can teleport-call him!) and staring off into space from a cliff, Brian Cox-styles.

FINALLY GOT THE DESERT BEAST DONE ARRRRGH.
...I had to follow a youtube step by step to do it :/ how in gods name are the puzzles in that camel obvious to anyone!?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 4 March 2018 01:20 (six years ago) link
it was challenging for me. Partly because it was boring.
― Dat Login was the dname u doofus (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 4 March 2018 05:27 (six years ago) link
It was far too unnecessarily elaborate. That bit especially with the 3 or 4 metal blocks you had to slide around in 3 jillion combos before it all lit up the electrix... how could anyone work that out? I couldnt even have FOUND that bit without the bloody walkthru.
ANyway the boss dude after all that wasnt so hard, I guess. Now I've unlocked the new DLC Champions Ballad stuff so Ive more to do before finishing Ganon off yay.

Any chance you could post a link to the YouTube vid you used?

Nate: this is the one I used but its not the best, he speeds up a lot of the bits where hes picking the map rotations. But he skips bothering with all the chests, so its a good quick guide:

I bought Odyssey and I played it for half an hour and went back to playing zelda for a week. I guess I missed my horse.

I watched that video and literally have no idea what's going on.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 5 March 2018 05:06 (six years ago) link
Right!? Thats how fricking confusing that puzzle/dungeon is. Pointlessly so, if you ask me.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 5 March 2018 08:36 (six years ago) link
(the fact he speeds half of it up doenst help tbh)
thought all the dungeons were kinda dumb and hard. used a guide on all of them. used a guide for lots of stuff really (kilton, tarry town, master sword). some shrine puzzles. life’s too short
― ||||||||, Monday, 5 March 2018 09:28 (six years ago) link
What's interesting (to me, anyway) is the dichotomy between good combat and good puzzling. My bf sailed through half the game that was about fighting-- he went to Zora first and beat that first lynel with four hearts after less than ten tries. My mom collected 80-90 of the puzzle-oriented shrines, and was able to master the dungeons like immediately, but couldn't do any of the "test of strength" shrines or the dungeon bosses. Well balanced imo!
― flamboyant goon tie included, Monday, 5 March 2018 13:21 (six years ago) link
i haven't found a shrine puzzle that stumped me yet, the only found but unfinished ones i have are some major tests of strength that i didn't have the gear for at the time i found them.
― ciderpress, Monday, 5 March 2018 13:27 (six years ago) link
I'm pretty crap at both - puzzling and fighting - but I love exploring. I spent the whole weekend in the Hebra Mountains just randomly climbing up things without advancing the story. Fun! I found the lonesome pine from the "Bird in the Mountains" trial, but more by accident than design.
Even after six weeks I'm still really crap at fighting. I just end up running rings around the baddie then getting shot when I run out of breath, or I get tense and keep pushing down the right joycon stick and opening the Sheikah slate while I'm being attacked.
― Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 5 March 2018 15:45 (six years ago) link
I also - after six weeks! - just figured out that climbing up the towers unlocks the maps for the area. DUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH.
― Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 5 March 2018 15:46 (six years ago) link
lol
― Dat Login was the dname u doofus (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 5 March 2018 17:10 (six years ago) link
I used to accidental crouch mid battle. Have never pulled out the slate.
― Dat Login was the dname u doofus (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 5 March 2018 17:12 (six years ago) link
lol chuck thats like the first thing you have to do :D
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 5 March 2018 23:59 (six years ago) link
And yeah I'm always accidentally crouching. I also never got the hang of the fecking flurry rush either.
accidental crouching should at least confuse the enemy. why force us into conventional fighting modes, nintendo?
― Dat Login was the dname u doofus (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 00:03 (six years ago) link
immediately hit me with your bat after the second accidental crouch, sure.
― Dat Login was the dname u doofus (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 00:04 (six years ago) link
it was getting really stressful having all those NPC side quest conversations, the "I hear there's a secret surprise in X wood by Y mountain just east of Z river and [twee name] bridge", and I was thinking "Where are all these places??? Am I supposed to write this down like an old text adventure map???"
Anyway, I was super enjoying it while paying it wrong for six weeks, and now it's even better!
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 01:47 (six years ago) link
My only other confusion is the shrine radar - sometimes the shrines are SO far away from where it starts bleeping, I feel like I must've found a second shrine. But I guess the radar is a bit tempremental too.
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 01:50 (six years ago) link
Also I never sleep now and am officially dead
there are underground shrines that beep when you are near the shrine, but you are actually far from the entrance to, for example, a cave leading to the shrine.
― Dat Login was the dname u doofus (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 01:58 (six years ago) link
Oh yah those ones did my head in. Forbidden Temple especially.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 02:09 (six years ago) link

Omg the Forbidden Temple, serious high point

Pretty sure all those NPC-based mini quests go into the skate somewhere.
― DJI, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 15:47 (six years ago) link
Has anyone completed that fucking side quest where you have to follow a note in a floating pot down a river for 20 minutes and then every time it just gets stuck and/or disappears and I can never finish it and it shits me.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 7 March 2018 22:28 (six years ago) link
Yeah, it was a bit annoying. the key is to blow up the wooden boxes under the lizard pier before the pot gets there. It gets stuck in 2 places otherwise but you can pick it up on those occasions. Apart from that you just have to make sure you're not way too far ahead of it, although you have a fair amount of leeway on that.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 22:40 (six years ago) link
Makes sense. I know the reward is crummy anyway so I've not bothered completing it lol. "oh a silver rupee. I already have 20,000 rupees and nothing left I need to buy but sure ok"
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 7 March 2018 23:10 (six years ago) link
hah yeah i remember that disappointment
― Nhex, Thursday, 8 March 2018 04:33 (six years ago) link
Thanks for that video Trayce, I think I found it when I got stuck on that beast a few months ago, it made no sense then or now
― nate woolls, Thursday, 8 March 2018 16:38 (six years ago) link
I still haven't played this, but my younger daughter was playing this for the first time, and I go downstairs to check on her. She's hitting some monster with an ax or sword, and I ask her, where did you get the sword? Because her sister was still hitting things with sticks. And she says, I dunno, I just killed this thing and got the sword, or something like that. So I ask her older sister, who had played it a few times, about that, because her sister, last I checked, was struggling to kill anything, since she just had a stick, and she said she was afraid to fight any of the creatures. So my other daughter says, well, how did you fight anything then, with just a stick, they break all the time. And my older daughter says she just spent a ton of time just gathering sticks to fight with.
