[@quigonkenny]

You can _actually_ repair your weapons by going up to the Rock Octoroks in the Eldin region (near Death Mountain) and dropping your damaged weapon in front of them. When they suck in before normally firing a bomb at you, they'll instead suck in the weapon, chew on it, there will be a little sparkle, and they'll shoot the weapon back at you, fully repaired and with a weapon bonus added or changed. Works for shields, too. Make sure you save beforehand, in case you get a worse weapon bonus, or do something wrong, or it spits it into lava, etc., and make sure you're blocking when it shoots it back, because the flying weapon/shield can damage you. Also make sure to kill that Rock Octorok after you're done with it, because you can only do this once with any particular Rock Octorok. It needs to respawn at the Blood Moon for you to be able to use that location's Rock Octorok to do this again.

[@mastermage23]

Super Secret Tip for this strategy: You can repair even legendary weapons with a trick! Before it breaks, unfuse the legendary weapon's attachment (the bow cannot be repaired), then use another weapon and fuse the legendary weapons onto it. That way the legendary weapon becomes the attachment and can be "repaired" as they do not constitute as the main part. Then go to Tarry Town to have it split for 20 Rupees and voilá: The split legendary weapon will have full durability again (but no modifier, which the main part keeps).

[@glibido4449]

I was killed by my own royal great sword once by an octorok spitting it back 💪

[@thesanbro9164]

When the Octorok spits it back just use recall. It's so much more satisfying

[@mastermage23]

@@thesanbro9164 But wouldn't that count as the weapon being thrown, resulting in horrible durability loss?

[@wolfistzhen2701]

I dont kill them, I feel like it's a service they are doing to me, so as a thank you I leave them be, even I hate when the spirits kill them so I disable them before goin there. Also, mark them in your map so you can have a route every time you fix your weaponry.

[@MistrChocolate]

If you complete Eventide Island and get rid of the three monster camps, the monsters don’t respawn, but the crates do. You can pick up up to 80 arrows depending on some single arrows spawn as x5 occasionally. I’ve never left with less than 50. Also, as you find shrines and light roots remember that they are connected. If you find a shrine, highlight the position on your map, then change the map to The Depths and Mark that same position. You will actually be making it easy for you to find lightroots later. And if you discover a light root. Check your above ground map to see if you’ve uncovered that shrine, if no shrine is on your hyrule map, Mark the spot above that lightroot

[@hudsonja]

Yo wtf, how did I not realize this yet

[@ciloq13]

[@xoticz69]

This makes stuff so much easier 😂 Ty

[@evelynkessinger4714]

Wow! Great tip!!

[@ARUCARDFTEPES]

Someone does tell you about the lightroots and shrines, maybe Robbie in the first depths mission? Every root has a shrine above it, but not every shrine has a root, right or wrong? I've been marking the surface with all the roots, but not sure if it works the other way.

[@ToasterUnknown]

Do these if you want - just remember that it's completely viable to just play the game and discover stuff organically, without worrying about missing out or optimizing.

[@steverogers7601]

This will fall on deaf ears to kids and hype beasts addicted to those dopamine hits. As an adult, I love it when video games don’t hold my hand that much and allow me to learn and discover things on my own. But sometimes, I just want to get the thing without trying too hard. however, I feel a bit empty when I get the thing after watching a KZbin video on how to get the thing.

[@thecabin3995]

Nah I’m gonna dupe

[@danielgriffin8734]

Agreed 100%, just have fun it's an awesome game either way

[@Kufunninapuh]

+1 I wish I hadn't went around the map and unlocked all the Skyview towers. I think it would have made for a much more organic play through. I also didn't go to the depths for the first 40 hours or something and got there for the first time in perhaps the least intended way and it blew my mind discovering another full sized map with harder enemies in total darkness. It's one of the best experiences I've had in ~25 years of playing video games. To each their own of course but in my opinion that beats farming crabs or zonaite. And on that note I wanna share a major tip. Any food that extends your stamina wheel (like endura carrots) will also fully restore it. All the way even when fully upgraded 👍

[@jordongee2347]

Dare I say, maybe even better.

[@danielknapp159]

9:09 Rocket platform? You get a lot more out of two fans and a steering stick in the depths. A fan face down attached on either side of the steering stick. Lasts a whole lot longer, too. Same cost, but the fans are in every supply stop. Maybe a bit of an energy drain, but definately a better bang for your zonai. As it is reusable and does not break.

[@Gnomish1]

I thought the same thing, only my thought was: "What a waste of zonite, just fuse one to your shield. Same effect but cheaper."

[@gothxm]

Honestly i just played the game naturally and never had any issues with stamina. The game does a great job of encouraging exploration and giving you relevant stuff to do for you level. The stuff you cant reach at first usually isnt that important at the moment anyway. In central hyrule alone theres enough shrines there to give you a good boostof stamina. offering to the cherry tree to find cves and making sure you go do the lookout landing early quests quickly will give you the push you need abd id you arent ridiculous with your inventory youll never run out. Stamina was much more relevant in the first game. With vehicles you can do so much more with less. Especially if you let the game nudge you a bit at first. I travel a lot on foot as wlell just because i like talking to the npcs and seeing the world. If tou do a healthy mix of all 3 main maps of the game, they will all feed into each other and youll bever be stamina hungry, zonai charge deficient, or thirsting for more battery. I never had that problem since i allowed the game to nudge me where ir wabred to. Doing rito first is a good idea. Even if you dont want to do story or depths or sky. Do them all bit by bit. Dont worry about farming or any of that shit. The game is well designed and evwry activity feeds into another one. You will be fine if you just play. I get that neurotic urge to not want to miss anything or do things that have you missing out on something but this game is so synergistic. Just let it take you on an adventure. Dont worry about some tall ass mountain or some far off locale you cant reach right at the start. Half the time doing the basic stuff gives you great rewards and it all snowballs from there. My stamina gauge is full and honestly i sont explore much differently. I can just willfully climb shit instead of veing creative now. Zonai powera and devices are much better at exploring this time around.

[@hotdoggington6962]

I definitely prioritized getting a good 7-8 hearts first, but after that it felt sooo good to get another full ring of stam. I didn't realize how often I still used long glides, tho tbf this can be mitigated by using gliders

[@3lamberdor]

Agree, I chased a few more hearts at first, then sort of fell into the Rito quest, glad I did, it was a nice rounder/starter to the game, a good setup before travelling on. Two tips I've loved so far is getting that anti gloom jacket with poe's, made me feel less stressed in the depths early. Also the auto-build feature, sort of glad I got that early. Now I'll try to float on my own around the map. Agree exploring and discovering is the way to go, but those little ones did give me a little confidence from there 😁

[@gothxm]

@@hotdoggington6962 yeah it sucks when you have barely any health but i found that game over reload to be so fast that i never felt super frustrated. It's such a well designed game. The only stuff i have gripes about is stuff like navigating menus to upgrade the armor is super tedious and the stable people's little walk back and forth for different services or your rewards while constantly telling you horse tips you already know lmao. I'm so glad i can just stick two fans and a steering wheel at an angle and get a flying device that goes up with my huge battery i can now easily get so many places quickly. The depths were trying at first but it's temporary as you can quickly see where the limits of the game are and you start to feel more confident that you're prepared. They also give you those puff shrooms so you can sneak attack large groups of enemies and those muddle buds or w/e they're called to get the strongest enemy to gang up on the weaker ones or vice versa. Once you learn about thw bargainer statues too it was awesome to have the gloom protection. .i never found myself porting back to a lightroot to recover my gloom hearts for some reason lol. I would take the game over screen and continue on when the lightroot would probably be a better option. I've seen other people say the same. It's rare that a game rewards every aspect of play so well. There's always a special moment or thing to chase and you're never left unsatisfied with rewards. I'm hoping we get DLC eventually with more story, armor, some new sky and depth stuff etc. I truly love this game. Kudos to the devs. Hope y'all are having a blast as well

[@gothxm]

@@3lamberdor those are great to see through early. the systems overlap so well so you're never wasting your time. It's unreal how well made this game is even on a technical level. The loading screens are so fast for a game this huge on a platform this old.

[@3lamberdor]

@@gothxm totally agree! I was so happy I didn't have to buy a new console, & the quick item menu selections, coupled with the option to replace weaponry you get from chests really felt like awesome timesavers too. So much more fluid!

[@-user_redacted-]

9:29 alternatively, look for the ruins chunks that fall from the sky. Stand on top and hit recall. You'll get about 3x that height.

[@nickolaswhite1695]

I thought of this the other day. I was trying to get to a new tower and ruins were falling. Then I remembered recall. I can't believe it took me that long to think of riding those up.

[@nightfireyt9165]

You mean you didn't know that from the start?

[@andrewfreeman88]

Going on foot is not terrible, it’s a great way to explore the environment and take your time playing the game. Do not rush this game enjoy every minute of it it took five years to develop don’t try to rush through it.

[@HubertCumbadale02]

The thing which i found great in BOTW which i do in this game is having the sensor set to finding treasure. Youll find some awesome stuff in chests in the most obscure places 😊

[@gothxm]

That's exactly what I use it for too.

[@AleXelerate8]

Cut grass in the center of the map, cook the restless crickets with a bokoblin horn (skeletons) and youll get stamina bottles faster. So Cook 3 crickets(grasshopper looking things) with 1 horn from a bone enemy or any 1 monster part to make a 85%+ full stamina bar potion on demand as long as you have the ingredients.

[@celeiva815]

Crickets are the best to have stamina

[@burger_kinghorn]

Easy way to get arrows. Anytime you find a basic crate or barrel, lift it up with ultrahand and let it drop. In most places you can break them without wearing down your weapons. They almost always have arrows. I have 100s of arrows and haven't bought a single one yet.

[@tphillips37]

You can also get arrows by running around and picking them up from enemies that are shooting at you. Once it stops giving you arrows, run away just far enough away for the enemy to vanish, then start walking back. Once they pop back in, you'll be able to get more arrows from them. Early on it's a good way to get arrows. I use ultra hand on the boxes, too! I see people smashing boxes and I always wonder why they don't just pick them up and drop them. I did the same in BotW with magnesis and the metal boxes, pus the metal boxes would smash the wooden ones.

[@tigerofdoom]

100%. Rarely worth the durability for 1 arrow, but a lift and drop makes sense

[@KrisRoberts114]

Tilt the crates with a corner pointing down, works 99% of the time

[@Pyromania717]

There’s also a rito near rito village that will trade you arrows for chillfin trout, glowing cave fish, or brightcaps

[@mikatu]

At first I was always arrows-poor, to the point of not being able to complete one or two missions. I had to buy a lot of them. Then I started having always 300 arrows, because the barrels and craters give so many arrows. And sometimes even chests have them.

[@tomrees82]

Muddlebuds are great for making mobs decimate themselves. Puffshrooms are great for getting free Sneakstrike damage. These can be farmed in the depths. Dazzlefruit instakills skeletons other than Stalnox.

[@burger_kinghorn]

If you need to take things apart while using Ultrahand you can shake your controller a bit (if gyro enabled) instead of their stupid wiggle stick requirement. Why oh why didn't they make one button for attaching and another to detach?

[@alexandrustefanica5715]

14:41 You can actually repair weapons if you have them absorbed by the balloon thingies from death mountain. They'll also add some stat to it as well.

[@bulgen07]

I stopped the main story after getting the 4 temples, having a posse rolling with you along with the powers you get also makes battling monster camps so much more laid back and fun

[@PaulWTaber-zd8ds]

That’s exactly what I did/where I’m currently. Great minds think alike haha

[@blues03]

I kinda did the opposite. I've got 75% of my battery maxed, I'm two hearts away from being on the second row of hearts, max stamina, and enough costumes for Link to go to multiple halloween parties in one night. Grinding for (Large) Zonite is getting stale and somehow harder. Now I need to force myself to find more Korok seeds so I can carry more gear and find those Great Fairies. I think it's time I start playing the main story again before I want to stop all together again for a while. EDIT: I've only done one temple

[@phoqueme]

Especially during the beginning, when you only have one energy cell, it's much better to make simple cars with only 2 wheels instead of 4 because it drains less energy and makes it last longer. The balance is still great (one wheel on each side, not in the front and back like a motorcycle lol), and a bonus is that when you turn off the energy, the car stops immediately due to the momentum shifting the weight to the front, very efficient

[@Grains_of_truth]

I use Ameno cards which give a random drop according to the card. Many times you get meat and fish. Because cooked food slots are limited, if you go near a fire without a pot, you can drop five meats next to the fire and they will set on fire and become seared. The great thing, they take up one slot in meals. You can hold hundreds of these health cooked meats to just restore a couple of hearts when needed. It’s a great way to always have lots of health restoring heart foods. 😊

[@tomrees82]

Using Raw Meat to make Icy Meat in the snow gives you many minutes of heat resistance in a single food slot.

[@scottishcheese13]

Autocorrect strikes again

[@vorco8120]

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but if (and only if) you’re trying to get 100% completion on the game, you’ll need 300 Large Zoanite to use in upgrading several armor sets to 4 star. But that’s only if you’re going for completing the game to 100%. I just learned this from Austin John Plays who went into extensive research to find out how much Large Zoanite in total we’d need to get that 100%. Again, the total of Large Zoanite is 300…

[@sean-keykong5090]

I have not seen a percentage shown up yet on my map but my guess would be 10% this game is huge, even though minecraft would be bigger estimated 1mill+&- XZ, and 310,-64y TotK is around 5,000 in every direction from 0,0,0

You can fuse a rocket to a shield to do the rocket platform trick cheaper since there are shrines with infinitely respawning rockets which you can attach to cheap shields. Or dupe rocket capsules if you're okay with exploiting glitches. You can also bring rocket shields into shrines for maximum cheese.

[@jaquelineberge217]

Hey, care to explain the dupe rocket capsules part of your comment? I’m a noob at this game!! What do you mean by maximum cheese at shrines? Lol TIA

[@rokushou]

@@jaquelineberge217 This was written a while ago so sadly the dupe I'm referring to is fixed in update 1.1.2. If you haven't updated yet (1.1.1 or below), simply stand in front of a wall and select zonai devices to take out. Hit Y and B at the same time to dupe the selected devices. As to cheesing shrines, it simply means beating them in an unintended or "cheesy" way. For example if there's a pit you need to get across by solving a puzzle or building a contraption, you could instead use a rocket shield and fly over it.

[@tphillips37]

Same here. In BotW I left the Great Plateau and headed for Dueling Peaks on foot, caught a horse, and then went to Impa, just like the old guy told me to do. The next time I jumped off in the opposite direction, stole weapons from the Hinox on the bridge, stole a horse from a Bokoblin, and headed for Satoria Mountain to stock up on goodies. If the old man wanted to be helpful, that's what he'd tell us to do before heading to see Impa. lol

Theres proa and cons Using the rocket on a shield, deteriorate the shield and you need a rocket in the inventory.

As far as weapon repairs go just go to death mountain and find an octorock and drop your weapon in front of it and run away. When it pops out of the ground it'll suck in your weapon, fix it AND upgrade it with a random boost. It can only fix one weapon though so kill it afterwards so it respawns on a new blood moon and just find another octorock on the mountain and repeat the process

[@DumpsterFireDev]

Fun fact: you don't have to beat the boss! Originally I didn't even know there was a boss because I didn't help the "researchers"! It is a good idea to fight the boss because you get cool stuffs that helps with your battery and autobuild!

[@eyeball226]

I don't agree with everything here, but it's definitely silly to ignore the depths quests when you get to Lookout Landing. I have a friend who has done the first four dungeons and still hasn't been down to the depths or up to many sky islands. I don't want to spoil anything by telling him what he's missing, but I've been gently suggesting he follow Josha's advice. The man has no autobuild and hardly any devices (because the majority of the dispensers are in the sky). He's basically been playing TotK as if it's BotW.

This video really helped me. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed!!

To go along with the crab farming, you can farm golden apples in the grove right next to Sonapan Shrine (-0258, 0102, 0008). put one in each of the crab cooks and it will automatically give you a critical cook which will either give you more hearts OR another third of a wheel of stamina. They refresh about the same speed as the crabs.

[@Smilley85]

Some more tips: 1. There's a second battery crafting Construct just north of Lookout Landing, on a fallen slab. It's a bit more accessible than the one on the Great Sky Island. 2. Build and save yourself a hoverbike - two fans at 45° angles connected by a steering stick. It's the single most cost-efficient way to move around. By tilting it back, you can fly straight up, and by tilting it forward, you fly forward without ascending. 3. If you see a Blupee, shoot it with an arrow for Rupees. Then follow it. It will always lead you to a cave, and every single cave in TotK has a Bubbulfrog inside, which leaves a crystal that you can trade in. In fact, a good way to find caves is to activate the Sensor with a Bubbulfrog. 4. After clearing the first of the game's main dungeons, go back to Lookout Landng and follow the sidequests there, to get access to the sensor upgrades and the photo compendium. 5. If you're a completionist like me, mark every miniboss - Talos, Hinox, etc. - you defeat with a marker on your map. You will have a hard enough time hunting them down. 6. If you haven't heard of or noticed it yet, Lightroots and Shrines are in the same position in the Depths and the surface (except the ones in the Skies). If you find one, mark the position in the other zone for easier access. 7. In the same vein, every Leviathan skeleton on the surface has a "brother" in the same general area in the Depths - and each one of those has a unique equipment chest near their heads. 8. Do the questline for Traysi early to get access to the Froggie Suit. Twice upgraded, the full armor will give you immunity to slipping on wet surfaces. No more falling off a cliff just because it started raining. 9. Just like in BotW, getting the Climbing armor set early is also a godsent, though the parts are a bit more hidden this time around. Still , the vastly increased climbing speed and ability to jump at significantly reduced cost is very much worth the hassle. 10. Cooking a single Hearty item will always fully restore all (non-Gloomed) hearts 11. You can put Brightblooms on vehicles. A big Brightbloom will illuminate a much larger area than a lamp, and it doesn't require energy. 12. (minor spoiler) If you run out of light in the Depths, activating Riju's lightning power will grant you a limited sonar vision of your surroundings. 13. In addition to the single scale, claw, fang or horn fragment you can get from each dragon once every real-life hour, they now have crystal shards around the spines on their backs - around 10 every refill. Land on their heads or tails, and run along their backs to collect them all. They'll have the respecive dragon's usual properties, though in their least potent form. 14. Arrows fused with monster eyes will home in on the nearsest creature's weak spot. Daze all three heads of a Gleeok to cause it to fall. If it falls from high enough, it will take falling damage. 15. Gleeok horns are the only multi-hit elemental fusion without energy consumption or recharge time. They'll also create a light saber of their respective element.

Having limited stamina and trying to figure out how to reach places with 1 ring was definitely part of the fun. I have no complaints about this game. Discovering everything naturally is a much better experience

[@aimeekeel]

You can also just put a rocket on your shield and then guard to fly up quickly.

[@lillyflower7834]

14:43 you could just feed it to a rock octorock which fully repairs the weapon and gives a buff

[@tianajlee1]

DON'T MAKE THE DOUBLE ROCKET PLATFORM. Make one rocket, giving you the same height, while saving three zonaite. For early-gamers, this is game changing.

[@salvatoreIII]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing

[@sleetarashi]

Pelison's (the baby goron) service in tarrey town is more like "de-pairing" weapons than repairing them, since his service doesn't affect the durability of the base weapon itself

[@bubbaXzone]

thanks to this vid I got autobuild early (I had no idea how to get it and prob never will till late late) and it is indeed a game changer! i made a mini robot with 2 laz0rs and a cannon and its so fun to auto build it when ever i want!

[@SK-er3yd]

Great video! Just started only got one territory done ready to get that autobuild!!

[@stephenadams8712]

Rocket platform auto build use a hover stone instead and only one rocket (2 adds no additional hight) as the platform will float as long as you have battery (hover stone uses hardly any power) so you can look round and make sure to jump in the right direction

[@christopherforeman4773]

Don't spend zonaite on charges, it's a waste. You get so much from yiga hideouts and enemies especially fortress enemies. Also fuse rockets to shield and ice or carts instead Of wasting zonaie on that rocket platform.

[@Emjayography]

you can upgrade your battery pack at the first tower in hyrule at the lookout

[@arrankharchkrall2916]

Upgrade your battery pack right outside the central outpost instead of going back to the starting area.

[@purtsab7587]

Is there one of those shrine that require bloodmoon or something similar to activate again that I should go first.

[@alextownley9388]

Take a shot every time he says the word “fun” lmfao

[@bowley4]

So when you’re in the depths doing the mineru build-quest, there are some huuuuuuge mounds of zonaite rocks… I don’t know if they respawn though… if so that’s the place to be! Also the depths under Goron city has a toooon of rocks to break all over the place.

[@MaxFenix8k]

You can repair your weapon for free with the rock octopus like thing that sucks things, if you throw your weapon it will eat it and after some second it will throw it out repaired and I think upgraded some times, after that you need to kill it and wait a blood moon to respawn him

[@rjrogue4761]

When you got clobbered by that random rock throw I burst out laughing lol

[@fierceditiesnaruto]

Definitely needed this

[@deathnutz]

The AutoBiild came to me right after the camera shrine. They talk about the statues pointing at something. If you follow them, they bring you to that building with the auto build.

[@OriginalAcrobat]

Also, when you unlock your fast travel medallions, just drop one at Tarrey Town.

[@silieale]

This was perfect. Just what I needed

[@tphillips37]

The Bright Eyed crabs are in this same area in BotW and there's more of them when it's raining than if it's not. I wonder if it's the same in TotK? This is a great video! I feel like I'm at Hyrule University. I'm playing TotK like I did BotW, the first game or so was just a way to figure out how to do things faster and better. Or have people such as yourself make videos to help me do it.

[@oliversanchez9323]

The best tip is go to hebra and investigate the stable on rito village and speak with traysi, then go to eldin stable to begin the chain quest to unlock great fairies...trust me is not fun having only the royal guard set with just 12 defense against all the enemies on hyrule, you can use not only crabs but also staminokas to increase stamina recovery....but also increase the effects of those 2 when a bloodbmoon is present during critical cook since using 2 staminokas can restore 2 wheels and 1/5 or 2/5 of the third wheel. And you can get them on dueling peaks stable

[@christ9145]

Amazing video! Thank you! 😊

[@--B.]

Just fuse one rocket to your shield and hold out your shield for a good height boost

[@riomendoza1111]

Wow what are great video this really did make playing the game better. Thank you so much.

[@Justin_W]

A lot of great stuff! Thanks!

[@HeyItsKora]

I actually disagree with the first one, I wouldn’t recommend trying to unlock all the towers asap. SO much of my early game time has been spent exploring uncharted areas, using landmarks as frames of reference, using an unmarked version of the map open on my 2nd screen where I annotate important things I see etc If you rush unlock the entire map early on, you’re missing out on 90% of the exploration, and exploration is kinda the whole point of TOTK/BOTW Just my personal thoughts but yeah

[@richardstanner29]

Your opinion sucks

[@docAvid314]

I'm so glad I didn't see this video early on. Like getting autobuild, for instance, that's a whole quest, you have to look for that area, it's a great part of the game, and you just tell people where it is? This is just a list of ways to skip playing the actual game, this whole thing needs a warning for severe, game-destroying spoilers. Why not just watch a video of the final cutscene and say you won?

[@ncamon]

There is a construct that will craft energy cells on the fallen stone next to Purah.

[@PurpleKira]

Yah, if you head out the lookout landing exit heading to the castle you will see two guys looking up at a large piece of fallen rock. Climb that rock and you’ll find the construct at the top.

[@PunsandPixels]

@@PurpleKira whaaaaaat?!! I’ve been going to the sky this whole time. Thanks for the tip!

[@loriparker76]

Satori Mountain is my farming spot. U can get 8 endurance carrots total which give extra stamina and a ton of a variety mushrooms, a whole apple orchard, herb garden and more!

[@lauralichterman1858]

Whoa there’s 8 endura carrots there? I only found the four by the cherry tree, where are the other four? That is one of my favorite foods in the game 😊

[@loriparker76]

@@lauralichterman1858 they're over near where the old shrine used to be. It's on the other side of the mountain if u opened up the second shrine go from there and head up towards where the shrine was and there are two mobile by where its close to the stalnox there are 4 carrots around the trees there

[@Sakabatou77]

You can go to Satori Mountain and gather the Endurance carrots. Cooking just one will fill your stamina fully and give a quarter extra. I would save those crabs for a side quest in Zora's Domain. The General Store owner who mouths Crabs, crabs, crabs. Fixing your weapon, I go to Death Mountain and look for Octoroks. Dropping any weapon, shield or bow and they'll fix it. But each one does it once, so kill them in order to get them to respawn every Blood Moon. They also give your weapon, shield or bow a perk. As for Tarrey Town, there's a Shrine close to where the Great Fairy use to be. You can teleport from there, or, if you have one, which I do, place one Travel Medallion before Pelison.

[@randymcdonald1012]

The second tip, about autobuild, is what the third mission for Josha? Literally beginning game depths exploration questline

[@jondbm]

I like farming Zionite in Taers of the Kongdim.

[@seanfulcher4472]

Thank you man

[@BikeOnRoadLondon]

Get batteries to full then any charges you can trade for devices you want or use often. Build the air bike which makes travel insanely easy.

[@sharkbaitcustoms6111]

I just do a bunch of shrines and explore, and increased my Stamina and heart bars. I get lots of shrines in 2 hours, and never need to cook too. Also don’t build hover bikes, as they will make the map a lot smaller for you, and will not make you explore much on the ground.

[@pkmasterjt4899]

You can do 2 crabs for a single wheel or 1 endura carrot or shroom for all your stamina plus a little extra yellow

[@Gannonhh]

This was great

[@danielfahlevy]

Under hyrule castle there's cave with a lot of zonite but you need go deeper.

[@justindoss3701]

Great tips I’m def gonna start using zonaite. Sucks I just sold 80 when I had 180. Finally getting to my first temple. This game was def worth $70

[@juliocapeles8993]

No game is worth 70$

[@Laserrobot]

Always make sure to use glitch’s, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to but it’s so much fun haveing like a idk, 5 shot dusk bow and like 999 mushrooms it’s so fun

[@brittanymartinez3296]

There's an energy well robot a bit closer I think by lookout landing. I may be wrong and it could be kakariko village though.. but in one of those areas there's a big (cube?) rock and on top is an energy well robot.

If I had a dollar for every time this guy said “it’s way more fun”, or “this way is more fun”, or just “way more fun”……

[@mgratk]

Rock octorocks, plentiful around death mt, repair weapons. drop weapon, it sucks it up, spits it back renewed, fused or not fused. kill it after it refreshes a weapon for you, and it will respawn next blood moon

[@TheVerity77]

While the machines are great and all I still love horses for exploring and uh.. the deeps gives me the heebies jeebies. I got all of that in early game but have more fun doing it the traditional way, besides that one companion makes bosses really easy.

[@captainhoratiobungleiii7147]

You can fix your weapons by feeding them to rocktoroks. 1 weapon per day, per rocktorok. You can fuse 2 together and cheat the system.
