200% BATTERY Zonaite Armor Location/Upgrades - Tears of the Kingdom

9:48 Actually, when you beat those shrines that take your stuff and re-enter. Everything respawns, so you can beat them with your normal equipment for their drops and anything else useful in there like one shrine that has 3 free rubies to grab.

[@kirindas4691]

The free rubies Shrine is the Simosiwak Shrine in the North Hyrule Sky Archipelago.

Hey Austin, Captain 1 horns can spawn from revisits to shrines; Rasitakiwak (SE of Tarrey Town). Simosiwak (Bravery Island) - Note this shrine also has 3 rubies siting on the ground at the captain, with another attached to it's sword. Ijo-o (West Hebra Sky Archipelago) - Not a bad shrine to restock rocket shields. A cool video idea could be a list of top shrines to revisit for loot. Great video!

I feel like the captian 1 horns are the hardest to get if you've leveled up your game considerably. I've been stuck at level 1 Zonai armor for awhile because of this but I literally have all the stuff to upgrade to level 3 and 4 armor which is frustrating.

[@camcatdos]

@6:25 You don't actually need to launch a block into the sphere, you can instead launch yourself into it (much easier since you can glide) and then autobuild a heavy item (for example I autobuilt a yiga vehicle) onto the switch and it will activate.

[@locrianphantom3547]

It’s easy enough that I won’t waste the zonaite or zonai devices.

[@Rotary_Phone]

Killer tip! You're a hero man!

[@XelthorTheBlind]

So the shrines that take your items away and don't let you keep the loot can actually be revisited and it won't take your gear again. So you can revist, fight everything, and keep the materials. I think it's the shrine in the forgotten temple that has a captain 1 construct, and 3 rubies right next to it. I believe it respawns on bloodmoon.

[@supertrolle9555]

+1

[@alexsawicki]

And, to add to this, if you're wondering what shrines fit that description, look for "Proving Grounds" in the name of the Shrine. Makes them super easy to find. I also want to stress just how good this is for farming those zonai materials. You will get TONS of charges and construct parts (both captain and solider) doing this. Oh, and an added bonus: it's actually a good way to get arrows (since most of the shrines give you 20 to 30 arrows). It's even a good way to stock up on rocket shields, or even source some of the rarer zonai devices.

[@Ale-js7wg]

The helm acts like the divine helms in that it affects the avatar’s appearance when you wear it, very awesome.

[@studiomas7]

Quick note on the shrines where you lose your stuff: if you go back in after completing, you won't lose your stuff and can collect the drops! Hope this helps

[@missmads27]

If anyone needs Captain Construct 1 horns, there are two constructs sitting on the snowy platform just southeast of Gutanbac Shrine (on the Great Sky Island). That’s where I went to farm them as they seemed to be trickiest to find late game!

Thank you so much bro

[@thenutmegwriter941]

Hey Austin! Big fan, loving all the new content. Just to let you know, in case you weren’t aware, if you complete a proving shrine and then go back in, similar to how it was in BOTW the blood moon repaint the constructs and you can keep their drops this time!

Youuuu might have made getting to Lightcast Island more complicated than it needs to be. The center platform of the archipelago south of it has a thing that launches you. If you point it towards Lightcast Island and use it to launch yourself into the air, you go suuuper high up because of the low-atmosphere effect. No auto-build/machinery needed.

@austinjohnplays the shrines you mentioned that have all the constructs in them that takes your inventory away and you said you wish you could keep those drops, just wait till after you get your equipment back to pick up the loot and you can keep it.

[@Solidwake]

Chest piece: (lol) Or if you have only the base stamina bar with two and one third battery, just build a glider with two fans, two rockets, and a steering stick to make most of the trip there. Then use a full glide gear to land on the near by island you mentioned. Then use a anti-gravity platform with rockets (already there) to finish the trip.

[@Movieswithmuvy]

If you turn the launcher to that direction and get on the top it will launch you to that first island under 1 stamina bar. If you don’t make it, land underneath and you can ascend to the top

[@rhyderwu4897]

A neat little tip for the shin guards. I went to the islands by a hover craft from the water temple and I managed to get to the Death Star thingy, then I popped a travelers medallion and I just autobuilded the square with the other square.

[@Zynphl]

for the trousers i didnt know you had to shoot a block up there so i just pulled out 10 cooking pots and it actually worked

[@alexsawicki]

So, for those looking for a way to get up to Lightcast Island, but that's doesn't require a travel medallion: I used an entirely different method for reaching it. So, what I did: I launched up from the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower. Nearby, there's a small island with a construct on a floating platform. This platform has 2 rockets on it. Use the rockets at 45 degrees, and your goal is to land on the big sphere to the north. The rockets alone weren't enough to reach (it's possible that they might have been with some gliding, I was just trying to get as far as possible), so I ended up using 2 fans, also at 45 degrees to get height and distance. Once I landed on the sphere, I used autobuild to create the 2 fan/control stick flying machine. Used this primarily for distance. Once I ran out of battery (I had 2 full batteries, nothing special; I'm also sure you could do this more effectively with more battery/extra zonai charges/big zonai charges), I just glided to Lightcast island. I was expecting to land on the kinda cross shaped island in between, which has a shrine. I do think that might have been an option, but that probably would've required another flying machine to get some of the height back to glide to Lightcast island.

[@moonlitxangel5771]

THANK YOU. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get over there from where he said to go but I found the platform you talked about and was able to launch it up close enough so I could get my flying bike higher and then just glided and dove the rest of the way.

I would recommend everyone go for this outfit asap in the game because most of the vehicle builds are useless early on in the game when you only have like 1 or 2 full batteries. Out of all the suits in the game, this one seems like the most worthy to grind for once you have at least 2 full rings of stamina, and some stamina meals. I'm just now starting to try and get it. It's ridiculous when you build a cool machine and it only last like 2 seconds. EDIT: I got all 3 pieces in like about 2 and a half or 3 hours. It was difficult, but I cooked up a lot of stamina dishes, and that made all the difference, plus I already had 2 permanent rings of stamina. It's doable, even if you have few hearts. Don't really need hearts too much for it. Just Stamina!
