I had to look it up and I guess Diamonds create some of the most powerful fused weapons in the game. It gives you a +25 attack bonus. Opal = +1 water elemental damage Ruby = +1 fire elemental damage Sapphire = +1 ice elemental damage Topaz = +1 electricity elemental damage Also I guess Star Fragment fused weapons shoot out stars at enemies when swung.
Honestly I'm probably just gonna farm black bokos for my stronger weapons. No need for me to clear out the pirates yet, I can just keep teleporting in and out to make them respawn lol. If I don't want to be attacked by multiple, I can just jump down the well where one is just chilling alone
I’ve got 1 or 2 more towers to unlock but I have been anywhere near the southwest part of the map and have barely hit the surface on the northeast section or the south
I think I am going to try to finish the towers before I get to my 2nd temple. I just got Mount Lanayru, Akkala, and the two Gerudo towers left.
There have been multiple times that I picked this game up saying “oh I’ll just play for 15 minutes, knock out 1 or 2 of the shrines I already marked” and two hours later there I am still playing. It’s the perfect “just one more thing” game because it never ends.
theres plenty of other drops that do elemental damage than the stones you can sell for good money. I need a fuck load of amber right now though for my armor upgrade, I took down a few taluses (?) last night.
There was one shrine I couldn’t figure out where I had to cross lava on some janky ass cars and I just did this to cross the lava instead lol
I am just tearing up sidequests right now, defeated a whole bunch of huge monsters -- including the Ice Gleenox (that's the dragon, right?), rescued the golden horse, got a crazy armor that subtracts rupees instead of hearts and I am now descending the eastern part of the depths dressed like Hidetaka Miyazaki's worst nigthmare. And all that in like one hour flat. I fucking love this game, it's the best ever made. GOTF.
Just got Eustus out of his hole, not the way you're supposed to by flying the cart out of the hole, but by flying it just enough so that the platform I made on it got stuck on the lip of the hole, which didn't fail my quest, so I just climbed out and used Ultrahand to carry the cart the rest of the way.
Today I solved a shrine for the first time by just building a very long bridge/ramp instead of engaging with the nonsense contraption they put in there
Man it's so nice coming back from PS5 to Switch. Having a dock in my living room and bedroom just makes things to convenient
I hadn’t set up my docks yet since moving before yesterday but now I’ve got to put my old OG switch dock in the bedroom too lol.
Any tips on staying cool in Gerudo? Tried unlocking the tower and then started to die lol. Any clothes that are easy to find? I guess ice chu chu jelly fused to a shield doesn't work
Elemental weapons are useful because they give you relevant weather protection — carrying a flame weapon stops you from getting cold in the snow even if you have no cold protection clothing/food on, and same with an ice weapon in desert regions Of course there are more ways to get elemental weapons than just rubies/sapphires
vvv Also if you go to a cold area and leave meat out, it will freeze and give you heat protection meals Also there’s a shop in Gerudo town that sells heat protection clothing. Gotta find it though
