It's a shame I can't use gems and stuff to make my own gear.
That would be fun

[wierd]

I have longed to make my on arrows since the first half hour of gameplay.  Nintendo plans to offer DLC for the game-- Maybe they will add a crafting system at some point. *crosses fingers*

[endlessblaze]

Also as much as I love this game there is one thing I want to rant about.

Daruk's protection.
IF I PULL OUT MY SHEILD IM PROBBLY FIGHTING SOMETHING I CAN BLOCK! MY SPECIAL ATTACK NEGATER DOES NOT, AND SHOULD NOT TURN ON IF I CAN ALREADY ACOMPLISH THE SAME THING, WITHOUT WASTEING A CHARGE!

YIGGA CLAN ATTACK OUT OF NO WHERE?! IM NOT EVEN THAT FAR FROM THE GREAT PLATO! IS THIS FOR KILLING YOUR LEADER?!

HE DIDENT EVEN LEAVE HIS SWORD AFTER I TOOK HIM DOWN!

[wierd]

Oh yeah. They show up in FORCE after you take down Kouga.

The attacks are NOT random though. There appear to be spawn points for them.  The big ones drop wind-blades that are kinda neat though. Ranged attack is nice.

[endlessblaze]

Well he dident drop wind blades that time.
Unless it got blown away by the blast and I dident see it, but considering I got the other drops...

and why can't I use my stasis plus to freeze animals? Pepole I understand, I'm the good guy. But if I can stasis monsters, why can't I stasis my prey. I have to eat

Second edit-
Mmmm maybe I should take a break from questing and

go memory hunting

[wierd]

Sheika stealth armor is GREAT for going hunting.  You can literally take out birds with a sword, if you wear the +2 powered up full set.

Also, fish are a good healing item.  Cruise down the Zora river, and scoop up literally 70 to 80 hyrule bass. No, not kidding. Also some electrofin trout. Useful for anti-shock effect food. 

Spoiler: semi-cheaty goodness (click to show/hide)

If you start the "deliver the floating letter" sidequest, and PURPOSEFULLY fail it -- eg, by destroying the letter cylinder, it respawns all the fish in the river! You can harvest again and again and again.

[Frumple]

Vis a vis fish, you can totally go blast fishing in this game. Just throwing that out there.

E: Though ah, re: weapon crafting... I haven't actually seen it yet, but

Spoiler: minor (click to show/hide)

can't robbie make stuff for you? Seen mention in game it's possible, and I'm currently operating under the impression he's how you get ancient arrows in any meaningful amount. Would mean they're a way to make your own arrows.

[wierd]

Rob needs normal arrow, ancient shaft, and ancient gear (and lots of money) to make cheesy OP arrows.  Very costly, still needs normal arrows. Mainly, he is working on guardian resist armor. I've been Guardian hunting for some time now trying to get ancient cores... Long, slow slog.

I have found all but two of links memories BTW..  Slow slog on that too.

And yes, bomb fishing is totally a thing.

[Frumple]

Yeh, getting cores appears to be a bit of a hassle. Looks a lot like your best bet might actually be shrine hunting, or something of similar nature. Half seems like it takes less time to find the things in chests than it does farming guardians. Probably takes less effort and resources, too.

... is kinda' odd that the guardian armor is gated behind guardian drops, though. You'd think it'd defeat the point. If you can farm guardians for the cores you're probably well past the point of needing the armor, ha.

'Course, now I'm wondering if there's something tucked away you have to tank (damagr boosted) guardian shots to get to, and need the armor to survive. Friggin game and its bloody design. Nothing gets to be innocuous, it's all tricksie secrets and koroks.

[wierd]

Finally managed to take down a blue lynel.

Had to spam stasis on him, clobber, and run away over and over again.  What a pain. Finally died though. Guardians are easier to kill. Way easier.

[Ultimuh]

ancient shaft

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)



Just kidding, couldn't resist. :p

Any way..
I feel like I would take a stroll though the landscapes and just enjoy the various views,
if only I wasn't constantly interrupted by whichever monsters exist in whatever area I'm in.

[Frumple]

A good horse might help with that. Get one with high strength and instead of being interrupted you just kinda' walk over whatever gets in your way.

E: ... is it wrong to be amused by how rapidly and persistently people seem to forget to check water for chests?  It's certainly some kind of emotion somewhere between that and frustration. Think I've probably seen two or three dozen chests skipped over by folks at this point, just because they forget to magnesis check the water. There's a lot of stuff under the water in this game, which is a nasty trick of design since you can't really do anything with it otherwise.

Though now I'm wondering if there's stuff down there you can only get by diving and grabbing. Now that I think about it, putting pearls or something down there sounds like something this game's designers would do...

[endlessblaze]

Woah what a rush.
I just fought a guardian stalker and WON.
It got epically crazy when some skeletal moblins and

showed up, but I pulled through without even needing to heal.
