which is why i made the guide in the first place
#The Legend of Zelda
thorn tartan
also have around 7 surface shrines left
probably in caves
i set sensor+ to either blupee or bubbulfrog and it really helps
blazing folio
how do you get that
thorn tartan
the armor? they're mostly located in hard to reach places in the sky islands
Zonaite Legs Piece: ||Akkala Sky Mine, 4514, 2116, 1159||
Zonaite Chest Piece: ||Zonaite Forge Island, 2375, 1775, 1475||
Zonaite Head Piece: ||Lightcast Island, -3647, 1040, 1752|| this one is the hardest to get as it's really high up in the low grav zone
if your battery sucks these would be hard to get
but it's doable if you spam zonai charges and large zonai charges if you just use the hoverbike
i had full battery so i didnt need to do that
if by how do you get that you mean the parts for upgrades i wrote a separate guide for that entirely
if you mean sensor+, you need to get Robbie to come back to hateno ancient tech lab
blazing folio
Those sound so annouing to get to esp w the lack of shrines in the sky
thorn tartan
oh yeah it is
but you know what, for me it was worth it
i make lots of crazy power hungry contraptions
this armor is made for me
blazing folio
I MADE A COOL CAR
blazing folio
I dont have footage will a crappy phone photo do
thorn tartan
Yeah
blazing folio
thorn tartan
That looks like a really sweet ride
And has some turrets in case some pesky enemies get near you
blazing folio
Yeah! It's great for bumpy roads
Can't go up steep though. Tried to go up a slope in death mountain and got stuck
The turrets are why it needs doors.... but on the plus side you dont need to attach koroks they just sit in the cab
thorn tartan
Ah yeah it does need work in the all terrain department
blazing folio
Not sure how to give it more pull
The front thingy helps w small hills
Also cant figure out turning
thorn tartan
The tricky thing about building all terrain is making a suspension system
You can either make those with springs or portable cooking pots
But it's kinda hard to get right
thorn tartan
I found a tutorial
But basically a suspension system is what makes cars able to like land on the ground and absorb the shock from doing so
This tutorial uses springs
thorn tartan
The great thing about this is that you can toggle the suspension system
If you just want a smooth ride like a normal car on flat ground, then turn the springs off
If you're climbing steep hills, turn them on
ember sail
are there any koroks in the depths?
thorn tartan
Short answer: no
Long answer: ||There are some koroks in the great deku tree chasm but they are npcs that dont do anything||
civic dune
||There are some outside the chasm but they also don’t do much but give lore||
thorn tartan
Finally got all the surface shrines
one of my last ones was the ||yiga clan exam||
thought that was neat
also got the lightning helm
as of now i got 20 sky shrines
so that leaves 12 shrines to go
thorn tartan
Went shrine hunting and was derailed by, this
This is so fun to do
Do need to find a way to reverse this thing
Also delivered a korok like this https://fxtwitter.com/lonewolf45gamin/status/1672157896057176065?t=6Ie-hKj1aA1MTeZNRYZgHA&s=19

Made an elevator to get on top of the maze but idk why it keeps going like this lmao

two questions: how many shrines and korok seeds are in TOTK? i can't just guess how far i've been progressing
blissful root
Spoilered for other people: ||152|| shrines
I don't know about korok seeds but iirc there's more than in botw
loud salmon
||its only 100|| more
blissful root
||"only"||
thorn tartan
Finally advanced the story
Post regional phenomena spoiler ||finally got the 5th sage||

Final boss sequence was just wow
Can confidently say that they didnt mess up the end
Had a brain fart moment earlier
So i had one shrine left
I counted 32 and i thought i got all on the surface
I activated all on the surface but for some reason one of them i just didnt go in

ember sail
so... i have some news regarding zelda TOTK; i'm considering to cancel this game's playthrough
with the main reason being that, the game is simply astronomical in length if you want to get through as much content as possible, it would take 2-4 months if i were to play for 6 hours non-stop, however especially in the present day it's not easy to maintain a consistent play schedule...
at the same time i feel TOTK is becoming a worthless game to me, partly as a result of being large for the sake of being large
compared to xenoblade 3 which had better gameplay flow to an extent
thorn tartan
I just went for all shrines and all lightroots and some location discoveries and that was only 59.95% according to the game
ember sail
TOTK would be a fucking 700-hour game if one were to 100% it, it would be an intense slog too
ember sail
after i stopped playing TOTK on june 25th i've only played the game 2 to 3 times mainly due to lack of time from my pressing needs either on real life or internet
despite this i had the time to go over the DLC for xenoblade 3 and finished everything in mid-july
it's hard to explain why i just don't like TOTK as much anymore, but what i can say is that the game is soulless and astronomically large compared to xenoblade 3
now i want the next mainline zelda to return to the pre-BOTW style of gameplay
TOTK learned me that i don't want a game that is gigantic just to be a gigantic game and nothing else
just by learning that a game would take too many hundreds of hours to do everything in it already leaves a sour taste, and taints your playthrough of a game
thorn tartan
TOTK is the intrinsic motivation game. If that's not how you play then it's not for you
ember sail
TOTK is the intrinsic motivation game. If that's not how you play then it's not ...
i wonder if nintendo intended TOTK to be like this
thorn tartan
they did
a lot of what you do in this game is a lot better when someone is intrinsically motivated
because rewards the game gives are actually ass
and also there's no reward for building anything so it really is the game for people like us (engineers)
ember sail
xenoblade 3 despite taking a couple hundreds of hours to do everything it has soul and has better gameplay flow
thorn tartan
xenoblade 3 definitely is more focused and has direction
it's also sort of a sandbox game but has better balance of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation
ember sail
TOTK is the intrinsic motivation game. If that's not how you play then it's not ...
i can say the same about how i played ACNH back in 2020
so that means... a game with at minimum partial or significant extrinsic motivation depending on the game would be a more motivating and enjoyable one for me
thorn tartan
yeah
I noticed that the ones who didnt like TOTK are mostly extrinsically motivated
ember sail
so here's how my strain of interest for TOTK went:
i temporarily stopped playing TOTK after june 25th over some meaningless meme on the internet that badly impacted my mental health, and i intended to return once i felt better
then a week later on july 1 or 2 i returned to playing TOTK, though i didn't have much time to play
starting on july 4 i started to do the paid DLC content for xenoblade 3, finishing on july 17 or 16
after XC3's DLC, i had a sole TOTK session as of this message, and again didn't have much time to play
i intended to play TOTK again following that session... but never did due to being very busy and a lack of time
i didn't have any sage at all over the course of my TOTK playthrough, and being focused on searching every nook and cranny throughout hyrule was how i played TOTK
over 70 dollars well spent. 💸 /s
ember sail
you really were just looking for everything
"side content first, then main content after finishing the available side content for now" is how i go in any game
@thorn tartan
thorn tartan
yeah thats actually the worst approach for TOTK
ember sail
true
thorn tartan
because there is too much
ember sail
i'm not fit for ACNH, and i'm not fit either for BOTW and TOTK
thorn tartan
honestly the first litmus test for TOTK was "did you enjoy BOTW"
if the answer is no then more often than not you wont like TOTK either
ember sail
i've had more fun playing games like celeste, hollow knight and pizza tower, especially for going for highest percentage completion or all achievements than i have for something similar to games like TOTK
thorn tartan
are those games mostly relying on intrinsic motivation too?
ember sail
are those games mostly relying on intrinsic motivation too?
hard linear platformers and metroidvanias don't
now that i think about it, every game i played where i was more motivated and enjoyed more on, and even replayed occasionally since the late 2000s, be it flash, smartphone, fangame or commercial game, were all extrinsic motivation types
thorn tartan
yeah i guess thats just being incompatible with the TOTK gameplay loop
makes a lot more sense now actually
ember sail
plus i would never, ever want to play a GaaS game
ember sail
shoutouts to dragon quest 9 btw
iirc this game has like, a googol amount of postgame quests
worldly forum
Like my old friend said XC and FE games are pretty off brand for Nintendo that I'd like to see more Mother, Mario RPG like IPs instead of those
And they just dont look appealing to me
I said that cuz XC was mentioned
I feel like familiar Zelda races feels better than the weirdos of XC lol
ember sail
to me, xenoblade 3 and future redeemed had essence that TOTK lacked
worldly forum
I'm never experienced with its combat but it looks sluggish
TOTK has a pretty snappy combat
Tho I must admit
I hated the first hours of totk
Due to how everything was killing me in one hit
But the stronger I got, the more I started to enjoy it
And this time I really like the story
You have to do a tedious quest to get the full picture but its fefinetly worth it
Plus you get master sword by doing that
ember sail
i'll probably continue the topic in #gaming-general bcs it has gone increasingly off-topic
thorn tartan
Like my old friend said XC and FE games are pretty off brand for Nintendo that I...
XC is made by monolithsoft, a subsidiary of nintendo. Those guys have been around since their days in square enix (xenogears) and namco (xenosaga) so it makes sense to be "off brand". FE is intelligent systems, they also make paper mario games but lol
also you cant get more Mother games because that series is already over in terms of story
it ended, it's not dead
thorn tartan
I'm never experienced with its combat but it looks sluggish
the combat is only slow when you kill enemies only by auto attacking. Gotta use arts to be more efficient
and ofc the ouroboros forms and chain attacks help speed things up too
the combat in xenoblade is more like an MMO
ember sail
my love for RPGs originated from flash RPG games and building the player character and getting stronger gear or crafting materials for new gear was jaw-dropping
thorn tartan
for me it just started when i played chrono trigger and then i just ended up picking up a lot of jrpgs along the way
ember sail
well, in conclusion now i personally accept that TOTK should belong in the same boat as ACNH (i know these two games are different but these games have The One Thing™️ in common)
oh that reminds me, during my animal crossing phase back in early-to-mid 2020, after i took a little break from it and before i returned in early april i started to gradually lose interest in this game, and then in early june i got xenoblade 1 DE, which truly marked the death knell for ACNH
thorn tartan
yeah there's no going back to ACNH after that
ember sail
i was only playing ACNH mostly just for the wedding event photos for june
and then in july 2020 after meeting with tasha on a random island tour, i abruptly ended ACNH for good
the playthrough of an intrinsic motivation game to me is only strong in its 40-80 hours
and what i wanted to bring up as well, masochistic gaming challenges, especially in 2D platformers are more worthwhile personally than spending 600 hours in TOTK just to see everything it has to offer
ember sail
and what i wanted to bring up as well, masochistic gaming challenges, especially...
heck, i can just show this! (not to brag of course)
https://youtu.be/VIFCZZOlS1M
@thorn tartan oh i forgot to bring up xenoblade 2, its grind-heavy "100%" led me to a complete lack of motivation after playing with DLC in march last year
thorn tartan
oh god
thorn tartan
both
ember sail
both
honestly though, farewell golden took me 40 hours to grind
verily, most masochistic gaming challenges are often shorter than how TOTK or dragon quest 9's 100% would go
however these challenges stand out as more of a prestigious achievement for taking dozens or even hundreds of hours
worldly forum
God fucking damnit
I was liking the game so much
Like it was genuinely good for the 4 sage locations
But they HAD to put a quest to make us find the 5th one
And its both tedious and cryptic
And when.you get to the floating.islands section, you'll have to deal with lightnings
Idk, this really makes me wanna stop playing
loud salmon
i did that all by myself so it was funny when i got the quest for it
worldly forum
I rage quitted at the sky islands. I need some time away from this game
It really cpuld have ended after the 4th sage and it could have been a great game
But I now honestly feel like if I wanna finish it now or not
This game just never ends
loud salmon
the game ends whenever you want it to end
worldly forum
Isnt the 5th sage impostant for the game?
loud salmon
i guess
it honestly felt like a secret
i didnt really like the story so nothing really felt all that important
which is ironic because i was only able to get through the lightning by following the one plot thread that i didnt like at all
thorn tartan
And when.you get to the floating.islands section, you'll have to deal with light...
Thats so easy to deal with, I just had the lightning helm from the yiga hideout

Yeah sure but I want to be done with this game already
Like doing Dragon Tears quest and the 4 main quests were pretty good

Well after finishing the 5th sage the final boss sequence takes a while to finish too
So it's best done in chunks
worldly forum
Like doing Dragon Tears quest and the 4 main quests were pretty good
Then there is the 5th sage
Wtf happened here
If the final sequence is as tedious as this then I might give this game a very low score for the ending alone
Like I was saying its my 2nd fav up until this quest
thorn tartan
Then just go to the final boss straight
You can do it without the 5th sage
Just head to the hyrule castle chasm
worldly forum
Seriously, fuck you Mineru
I spent lots of time getting there so might as well trying to finish it but if it gets too much on my nerves then I'll just go to Ganondorf
I just wish I never even attempted to that but I wanted to do it cuz it felt like a main quest
Idk how people even figured out this much without someone guiding them
thorn tartan
Well there are people who accidentally stumbled upon it
Some even got it as the first sage
worldly forum
I really wish Zelda games in general were more clear for what you need to do next instead of forcing you to look up a guide at any moment
thorn tartan
Honestly the only cryptic part of the quest was the part where you had to go to the ring ruins to clear the fog in the sky
Rest was pretty straightforward enough

See, I dont like spending too much time figuring what to do in games nor do I want to spend 50 hours on a single time when I could just get into something else at the meantime

Probably this quest is what made me hate the game all of a sudden because up to that point I was liking it
loud salmon
i did it without clearing the fog

What do you guys think the empty center triangle in the Triforce means? I think it could represent us, the players!
ebon schooner
I learned how to no-damage Ganondorf in TOTK a few weeks ago
He is not hard
The only way you'd get hit at any point is if he blindsides you, or if you don't know how to deal with his homing Gloom Orb attack
Strafing towards where the Gloom Orbs come from is helpful, but you can also time a spin attack with the Master Sword to reflect all of them in one swing
If you don't have the Master Sword, you have to strafe towards the direction the Homing Gloom Orbs came from, and you must strafe towards gaps in his Gloom Orb Wave or Gloom Orb Ring if he does those instead
Demon Dragon deals contact damage while its actively moving, the Gloom Fireballs aren't hitting you unless you're sleeping

Okay, Idk about that

im an engineer at heart, just terrible at it which is why im a mathematician
and TOTK is very much an engineer's game
tough wagon
Because of being able to build things in the game?
thorn tartan
yeah i used to spend hundreds of hours on just engineering things
tough wagon
I honestly love the build mechanic especially in the Depths since I built a flying machine that just let me fly to the lightroots

thats the hoverbike isnt it
Yes
thorn tartan
it's a canon event
tough wagon
Anyway, can we agree that the Ganondorf fight is way better than Calamity Ganon?
tough wagon
What they did drop the ball on was the Master Sword. I love the way it’s incorporated into the story, but they pretty much made the sword worse since you can’t upgrade it like you could in BOTW and it’s worse by the fact that you have to either fuse something or just use another weapon that is better than it
thorn tartan
master sword was never my main weapon anyway
it was scimitar of the seven fused with silver lynel horn
tough wagon
I love the Scimitar of the Seven and also just the fan service TOTK has with the Legendary weapons and even some of the armor sets
thorn tartan
it is very neat
