After each blood moon: ====================== * Kill the Black Hinox just south of Zuna Kai Shrine (use Urbosa's Fury). * Kill the Guardian Stalkers outside Tu Ka'loh Shrine (one in the open and two underground). * Kill the Guardian Skywatchers outside Tutsuwa Nima Shrine. * Kill the Guardian Skywatcher southeast of South Akkala Stable (go south first). Then kill Blue Hinox, using Urbosa's Fury). * Kill the Blue Hinox west of the plateau. * Kill the three Moldugas south & sw of Gerudo Town (and one by Tho Kayu) * Kill the Zora Lynel if you have Rubber Set or Thunder Helm * Kill the Silver Lynel in Coliseum if you have Rubber Set. Around 18-21: ============= * Put on Lightning helm and go to Sai Utoh Shrine (Lakeside Stable, se). Go to bridge to get a hit on Farosh * If near midnight and clear sky, get to Great Plateau Tower and look for a falling star. Keep watch northwards, with Hyrule castle in the left view. * Switch to Snowquill eq and go to Jitan Sa'mi Shrine (ese). Go around to nw side of mountain to get a hit on Naydra * Switch to Desert Voe eq and go to Shae Loya Shrine (Tabantha Bridge Stable, nw). Go to bridge to get a hit on Dinraal Useful knowledge: ================= Remote bombs are great for killing enemies and hunting/fishing. Not too much damage (? first and 24 when upgraded), but some. It can also push enemies off cliffs. Round bombs can reach far when standing on a hill. Time Stop is a great way to detect treasure, monsters and items. Cut grass with an edged weapon to find insects - it won't damage the blade. You swim faster if you remove all your equipment. When lightning, make sure to not wear/hold anything metallic or it will strike you. Armors can be enchanted by Fairy Queens. Wearing a whole set can give added bonus once enchanted two steps. Skeletons reassemble. To prevent this, hit the head when freed from the body. When picking up rocks, press "A" twice, to pick up any insect hiding under the rock. Focus: ZL Jump Attack: Jump (X) and attack (Y) Sneakstrike: Crouch (press left joystick) and attack (Y) when close Side hop: Focus (ZL), then left or right plus Jump (X) This gives a special strike-opportunity (Y) Backflip: Focus (ZL), then down (back) plus Jump (X) This gives a special strike-opportunity (Y) Perfect Guard: Focus (ZL), then Parry (A) Can reflect a guardian beam (1500->896 with 0/1 attack-boost and silver shield (ac 18) / radiant shield (ac 35)) Charged Attack: Build power (Y), then release Shield surf: Focus (ZL) with a shield, then Jump (X) followed by Parry (A). Running forward while doing this helps. Float things down river to lure fish: Stamella Shroom -> Staminoka Bass Hearty Truffle -> Hearty Bass Having an ice weapon equipped will keep you cool even under the warmest conditions, except when so warm you will catch fire. Having a fire weapon equipped will keep you warm even under the coldest conditions, except in freezing cold water. Having an electric weapon wielded will... keep you from being shocked? It is possible to melt ice just by standing next to it with a fire weapon selected (doesn't even have to be readied). Trees have 40 hp. Ore have 40 Hp. Fallen trees have 12 hp. Trees are immune pierce/crush (spears/hammers), but vulnerable axe (damage x 7) Fallen trees are immune crush (hammers), but vulnerable axe (damage x 7) Ore is vulnerable Rock Breaker (damage x 3.5 or higher) Rocks can only be broken by Rock Breaker or Bomb Loot from monsters gets better as you advance in the game. Both by the items dropping being better (You find Royal weapons only after 2 Divine Beasts have been freed) and by item boosts being better. Could have to do with spirit orbs collected, but seems to be connected with Divine Beasts freed. Chest loot is improved too (unlooted plain Traveler's Bow with 0 beasts freed became Gold boosted Royal Bow with 3 beasts freed). Similar with creatures. Silver creatures do not appear at all in the beginning. Standard Ancient Royal Silver Creature 0 beast = --- --- --- 1 beast = silver --- --- 2 beasts = gold silver --- Bokoblin 3 beasts = gold gold silver Lizalfos 4 beasts = gold gold gold All! Chests: The item in the chest is set beforehand, as is whether a weapon/shield has any weapon boost and, if so, whether it's silver or gold boost. The kind of boost is randomized, though. Even if you open without looting to see the boost, save and reload. Once looted, most chests remain empty forever. Most chests also disappear entirely. As you advance in the game the item in an unlooted chest may change into a better one, as can the weapon boost (and an item without boost can be given a boost). You can carry max: 8 weapons upgrade to 20 max per slot = 1 5 bows upgrade to 13 max per slot = 1 5 types of arrows max per slot = ? (> 600) 4 shields upgrade to 20 max per slot = 1 62+armors max per slot = 1 148+different materials max per slot = ? (> 760) 60 different food max per slot = ? (> 200), but only for roasted/frozen items 14+key items max per slot = ? (> 50) Max stamina: +200% (2 bonus circles). Magic food can give you extra stamina, outside standard/bonus circles. Max managed sofar is 120% (4 tireless frogs + lizalfos talon + luck) Max life: 30 (2 full rows). Magic food can give you hearts above current max, but never above 30.
