Please mark all spoilers, puzzle solutions, ways to commit hate crimes on Koroks.

How far is everyone? I just finished the dungeon in the northwest last night. Think I'll stop by Kakariko since I haven't yet.

For the main quest I've investigated Gerudo and Gorons. Gerudo first because they're my favorite group in BotW. Gorons next because they're my least, and well. So far that still holds true, lol. Also finished the Dragon Tears.

(Major Spoilers) Accidentally stumbled upon a 5th Temple and met the Sage of Spirit.

I feel like I'm approaching the end and finally running out of content but I've barely done Shrines so maybe it's time to sweep them up.

This isn't a criticism, but I don't think I've played another game with so many situations for sequence breaking. There's been several times where I've been like "I don't think it was supposed to be done this way."

You have to buy armor. It doesn't drop in this game. There's a few pieces you can get through adventuring but not many.

Fuse every time.

But you don't have to be aiming to fuse. You can just push up with the bow drawn.

There was 1 Korok where his friend was on a cliff above me and all there were was a couple of rockets around, so I stuck both of them on him and activated them. I think he got launched into space, because I never saw the korok come back down lol.

As for where I'm at, I've finished the Rito area, did a ton of exploring over in the Hebra + west section of the map (pretty much everywhere above the Gerudo Highlands or whatver that region above the desert is called), messed around in the Depths for a few hours, and I'm currently on my way up to Death Mountain. It's probably going to take me a few weeks to finish this game lol.

One thing I've found rather strange so far is the story. I don't know if this stuff will get explained or mentioned later, but there has been virtually no reference at all to the events of Breath of the Wild. Ganondorf seems to be somehow completely unrelated to Calamity Ganon. The Champions have not been acknowledged at all. The Divine Beasts no longer seem to exist. Maybe that will change as I get further into the story, but it hardly feels like a sequel to BOTW as far as the story is concerned.

Yeah you get a shrine quest from someone who mentions Vah Medoh's perch. And the Calamity is mentioned a number of times. Just strange how it doesn't seem related to Ganondorf/the Zonai/the Sages.

Well no, but several item descriptions are explicit about what the item does.

And some are pretty easy to figure out.

For the rest, experiment.

Okay, I'm losing my GOD DAMN MIND.

Spoilers for one of the shrines. It's the Utsushok Shrine. The second puzzle just would NOT work for me. Here is the youtube video of it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZrd9kD1gIQ

You simply attach a block at the back of the paddle, lift paddle, release, ball goes in hole, right? Wrong. It absolutely refused to reach all the way for me. I did exactly what this guy did, and it just doesn't work. One other video I saw had him magic hand the paddle up way higher than 90 degrees, and that's literally impossible for me to do. This is the first time in the game where my brain is just broken because I don't know why a puzzle isn't working for me and nobody else.

I got past this part by carefully inching out onto the rail while magic handing the ball itself. Cheesed it.

Edit: This guy is the guy who magic hands the block up past 90 degrees:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwAZf29wXKQ

No matter what I do, where I stand, where I grab, I can't raise it higher than about 90 degrees. I don't get what I'm doing wrong.

Man, just fought my first Gleeok Frost one. Way more intense than I was expecting. It's really weird going from fighting a basic Hinox to that in the span of 15-20 minutes. Burned through a ton of healing and fire fruits. When their health is low it seems they fly high into the sky and start raining down whatever their element is all over the field. I had to quickly attach a rocket to my shield to get into the air and hit them with just enough Keese Eyeball arrows to bring them down. Very impressive fight.

I shouldnt have to memorize what 200 materials do, it would be easy enough to just add a small text blurb under the menu saying what the effect is

they already show it on the screen after you do the fuse

You know I'm not particularly good at the fight, but it seems to me that dodging and thus triggering flurry rush off of his spinning attack is a lot easier than dodging the regular sword attacks he does. And it seems you can bait out the spin by blocking his approaching hit and circling around him. I only realized it toward the end of the last fight I did with him, but I plan to try that out again next time I encounter him.

Huh? The majority of armor is found from exploration. Theres like 30 sets or something in the game plus various single pieces that dont belong to sets and like 6 of those sets and a few single pieces are bought with Rupees and 2 other sets with Poes

I didn't really have a hard time with the dodges. For me he only did two variations of thrust, one with a rush towards you first, and another quicker one that is more stationary. I found that as long as I erred on the safe side, I'd still jump out of the way, just not triggering the flurry rush.

...mine had a spear. I'm kind of assuming that others can have other weapons, right?

Oh that's interesting. I've beaten 3 of them so far and they all had one-handed swords. Makes sense they'd have other weapons though.

In case people dont know how to dupe equipment:

1. Equip the sword/bow/shield you want to dupe
2. Save the game
3. w/o exiting the menu, drop the equipped weapon
4. equip a different weapon
5. Press + twice really quickly so you leave and enter the pause menu almost insantly
6. drop the equipped weapon
7. w/o leaving the menu, load the save you made

When it loads, a copy of the 1st equipment will be on the ground

Shit, if you take them too far, they disappear the same way wings do, LOL.

Lmao I learned that the hard way too.

That said by using rocket capsules to chain rocket boosts you can actually get really far with them. Much more so than wings

The depths are probably the best way to get Bomb Flowers. Not only can you find them down there, but you can get Bomb Flowers from the Bargain statue in exchange for Poes. I've never been able to keep more than 30 myself, so I try to use them sparingly.

For rupees, just sell gems. I imagine there's a couple good minigames for making money, but I haven't found any yet.
