[@ShadowSkyX]

There are Bladed Beetles on the great plateau. Due to the time of day you start the game, you're likely to see one on one of the first trees leaving the shrine of resurrection if you take it slow. Too often i scare it away by mistake, or fail to grab it, for years not knowing what i actually spooked. It's good to remember when starting master mode.

[@nategwright]

It is quite literally the best crowd clearing technique in the game. It turns the Eldin Great Skeleton camp from one of the most annoying enemy camps in the game to one of the easiest. Stand on the ribcage, shoot the Moblin with an ice arrow, equip a multishot bow and shock arrows, use stasis, jump, and fire away.

[@JimboJamble]

Yeah, quick spin has been in every 3D Zelda game as far as I know, but the N64 controller's stick wasn't quite as smooth and responsive as its successors, so I found them considerably more difficult to reliably pull off in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. A few more quick spin tips... -Quick spin in OoT and MM does a level 1 charge attack with no magic consumption, and it even works with the huge Great Fairy Sword in MM. -Spin attacks don't collide with walls, so you can use them to great effect in confined areas; in Wind Waker, you can perform quick spins with those ridiculously long Moblin weapons which otherwise tend to bounce off of walls when swung normally. -Spin attacks in Breath of the Wild do not to additional damage like they did in other games. They're still good for fighting groups and for knocking them down, but otherwise they won't help you much in a 1-on-1. _(Bonus tip: the last hit of a combo usually knocks down an enemy, which is sometimes undesirable because you have to chase after them if they get knocked back too far, and the last hit also has a longer recovery time. Instead of mashing for the combo, swing your weapon just a few times, pause for a moment, and start swinging again. This allows you to keep hitting them without that big slow final hit, dealing more damage over time and sometimes allowing you to stun-lock them so they can't fight back.)_

Just have to add for Satori Mountain, take a blizzard rod! Use is on all the trees covered in fruit! The fruit just falls to the ground. Saves a lot of time and effort. Only thing is it will break.

If you ran out of Stamina while climbing and fall, you can use your paraglider one last time to save yourself. You don't need dragon horns for 30 minutes elexir, you can use monster extract unstead but get ready for some randomness. Make sure to save before using them. Full shiekah armor allow you to sneak upon enemies while at full walking speed. You don't need to sneak. You can fish using bombs, and you can even whistle to make the fish go crazy and get stuck on the shore, very sastisfying. And heres a super useful tip: you can use statis to highlight collectible ingredients (mushrooms, fruits.... ) makes searching a lot easier.

[@justcallmexen]

this actually did give me a number of new tips in addition to a couple things things I knew before. I have a few more tips to add 1: The Sheikah sensor+ can be used to locate lost arrows and thrown boomerang items when you have a picture of the weapon in question, something I use often. 2: It can also help in finding DLC gear without resorting to a guide. I was at a loss as to how to find the Korok mask in the lost forest before it dawned on me that it is in a chest and the Sheikah sensor+ can detect treasure chests no matter what type they are. 3: The Korok leaf is the greatest durability saving weapon on weak enemies. The gust of wind knocks down Keeses and and knocks apart Skal enemies without having to hit them, leading to easy follow up attacks for 1 damage to finish them off. The gust can also be aimed (and thus the leaf cannot be thrown at enemies) and around tall cliffs or deep water is a great way to defeat early game enemies on master mode when the weapons are still too weak to whittle at the larger regenerating health bars. It makes getting the maracas a literal breeze. Bombs work much the same but is harder to coax a whole group in one direction with them and neither one will help against Moblins.

[@Croton]

Update: if you want a more consistent way to pull off the constant weapon hitbox exploit, press Y, then mid attack hold x, release that as you then hold b, then release that as you hold y to activate the spin! It's a bit more steps, but without these extra inputs it won't always work right Thanks for watching though, here's to a great 2021 ahead!!

I honestly never knew about the beetle tree in satori mountain in my 900 hours playing this, but brings up a great idea, have you considered a video listing every farmable item in satori mountain?... I know there are hearty radishes, durian, rushrooms, swift violets, apples, and more, but theres so many and are often difficult to relocate, an in depth satori mountain area guide would be amazing, and I know there's plenty of other hidden farming areas like the durians next to faron tower, and a lake on the mountain southwards that has a large number of fish of various types, these exceptional farming areas are all over the world, often quite hidden, and in my opinion, would make an excellent compilation... Especially in your consise and friendly style...

Another great tip is that if your master sword is low on durability, you can instantly bring it back to full health by entering the trial of the sword, and using your shieka slate to teleport out, when you materialize, your master sword will be once again at 100% durability

[@Croton]

Wait whaa - :o I'm gonna have to test this one out, thanks for letting me know!!

[@stephen_harvey]

I often find myself lynel farming, with my 60 master sword instead of mounting it, simply headshot the lynel, while it is stunned, you have time for 8 hits, before you slightly back up, draw your bow, and headshot him again just after he finishes shaking his head to avoid not stunning him... Once he is stunned, you can chain these attacks and I've found a 60 damage master sword has enough durability to kill 3 golden Lynels before needing to be recharged....

Never sheath your weapons in front on Lynels especially the Silver Lynel on the Great Plataue. This one has a Bomb Arrows that'll easily hit you if they're being sniped upwards, so never pull weapons out since they'll see this as threat. They're nice enough to let you leave.

Man, stealth strike chaining takes me back to the days of backstab chains in Darkroot Garden. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing though.

[@FrogworfKnight]

Some people are adding in their own tips, so here is mine. For the shooting targets Korok challenges, you can stasis the airborn pots to have a nice steady target to shoot. It won't break once the stasis ends, but since it has a new trajectory, it won't be "caught" where it normally lands, and when it hits the ground it will break and count.

[@JiroTheFro]

Half of these are new to me so I’m interested in a part 2

Another distinguishing feature of weapons with modifiers is that while on the ground, there is a sound cue to go along with the larger sparkle (it sounds like a faint twinkle.) This can also help you identify weapons with modifiers among monster loot on the ground.

Your guides are amazing! We can't thank you enough for all the time you've put in to test and compile your results! Please give us a part 2!! One tip I can't find in any guide anywhere is on specific timings for dodging/parrying normal enemy attacks (there are guides for guardians and lyonels, but I'm referring to the normal foes). Most guides just say to dodge as they attack, but that's obvious and vague. I'm around 15-20 hours in and just can't seem to get the timing consistent. I know it takes practice, but tips on how to better read their animations or what to watch for would be very helpful! :)

I've been playing BOTW more than any other of my 70ish games, and I've watched so many videos about the game that I thought I knew all the little tricks and exploits, and most videos are just mentioning the same old things, so to have compiled a list of the same old tricks that aren't found in almost every other video showcasing so many very uncommonly known tips, must've been a little challenging, so I gotta give you credit, cuz although I knew some of these, I was VERY surprised to learn a few things I can't already been aware of, so thank you for the video! It's very refreshing to know that there are still some BOTW tips still being discovered. I'm sure you've been aware of these for some time, but it'll be interesting to look back in about 10 years - or even just 10 years from the game's original release - to see just how many discoveries have been made from this point onward. Your content is among the best that KZbin has to offer. It's abundantly clear that you invest A LOT of time & research into every video, & you deserve recognition for all your hard work.

[@z.z.3841]

When you shoot it in the back of his head while in bullet time, it won't stun him.

[@nategwright]

If you headshot a Lynel right after it throws you off, it won’t get stunned. The devs made sure it wasn’t that easy to stunlock them.

The radiant shield is the best for shield surfing but the ancient shield can also deflect gaurdian beams without parrying. Using durability transfer and the Hylian shield, you can make it's durability skyrocket.

[@aaronsteers]

2023 here. I love your videos and might have seen this one before. But I still learned (re-learned?) some helpful tips! And I think many/most of these are equally applicable and valuable now in TotK. For instance, the apple orchard! I never went in BotW but i stumbled into it in TotK last week and was SOOO happy! 🍎 Oh... and using the master sword attack at a distance to break rocks. Awesome. I'll try it! That, and spin attacks and charge attacks for wands. 👍👍

I like farming for beetles around the Tawa Jinn shrine (the shrine quest with the 3 Hinox). You can get a lot of each beetle between 7pm-7am. You can also get a lot of hightail and hearty lizards in this area, along with a few other things for cooking and upgrading. I got 25 of each beetle and both types of lizards in about 40 minutes of gameplay, but I was also collecting fleet lotus seeds and courser bee honey.

[@leanderstahulak4887]

omg this was extremely helpful. there were so many hings i didnt know. liked and subbed. thanks a lot and am def watching more than once

[@Croton]

Ay I'm so glad it helped! Thank you 😄

[@Riku70X]

8:57 I'm pretty sure there's also a diamond hidden under a rock around Satori mountain, though I'm not sure if it respawns after blood moons.

[@zeldalife4086]

Thanks for the Ancient Shield tip! As always, you've been very informative!

[@angrymike590]

Always awesome to see these tip videos and you actually do such a good job on them and they've helped with my pay through of Breath of the Wild so much.

[@frantheman0619]

Surprised I didn’t know some of these I’ve played botw for 700 hours

[@Tosh.O]

you never even played then because ive played for less than 30 hours and knew 90% of this

[@zassopicasso]

The first tip been a thing since ocarina of time, no doubt it’s not gonna be absent in the botw sequel

[@fable23]

A few addendums: - Master Sword beams have a range directly tied to how many hearts Link has at full health, so when you first unlock the sword, you might not be able to reach everything you want. Temporary health _is_ counted by the game for this stat, however, so you can extend your reach with hearty foods. - If you're a purist who doesn't like to use what might be seen as "glitches," or "exploits," you can also start a grass fire with the level 3 charge attack of the Flamespear _without_ needing to inventory swap. - If you want to use the Freeze > Stasis > Shock trick but there are only strong enemies around, you can compensate by using the time slowing mechanic. Climb up to a high vantage point, freeze the enemy, stasis, then jump off and pull out your bow to slow time, which will let you get off multiple volleys of shock arrows where normally you might only have time for one, possibly even none.

[@TheU1Pro]

Wow I have to thank you for the tip about save-loading to change weapon modifiers. That's an amazing and very useful tip!

[@Cibbic]

The true masterpiece of a game.

[@chessycopter9619]

Dang croton is really amazing. He doesn’t have as many subs as he deserves

[@lenamingzhu]

WOAH. this is so ! helpful. ive played through twice (one reg and one master) and spent sooo many extra hours just doing whatever i want, and i actually learned so much useful stuff ! thank youuu

[@Will-lh4lh]

Great video! Learnt loads of new tech! Like how you remembered what I thought about the potential of Satori mountain (a few months ago 😂)

[@svendinsvinderlin4569]

I love how in 500+ hours of playing this game there are still areas that I have never seen and combat mechanics that I've never noticed. Botw might just be the best exploration game ever

[@zemocon2868]

Still is, easily better than anything else.

[@svendinsvinderlin4569]

@@zemocon2868 I mean, elden ring definitely has a fair shot at it.

[@Spinininini]

I have been playing this game since it came out and almost all the tips were new thanks

[@kilsonx8262]

Love your videos Croton! I'm planning a huge 100%+ playthrough for KZbin where I'm going to be doing many challenges and attempting to utilize all the exploits in some fashion. I've learned so much from your research and I will be sure to give you plenty of shout outs during my series! I'd love to see a part 2!

[@adamlumia1195]

I’ve only had a Switch for 3/4 months but this is the only game I play (I have 4 other games in plastic wrap still). By far the best tips I’ve ran into so far. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks man.

[@jenniferrollinson2955]

I already new all these because I watch Croton videos

[@UltimateTobi]

Nice! I actually HAVEN'T been on Satori Mountain yet, LOL. Good to know.

[@weddingwhatwithtristaawedd9619]

Satori mountain is a game changer as far as farming materials and you have few enemies to deal with.

[@SeebsL]

There's also a diamond under a specific rock that respawns each bloodmoon. Satori mountain is awesome.

[@skins4thewin]

Wow, there was a bunch of stuff in this video that even I didn't know! Like the way the Royal armor set works and about the bug farming on that big tree. Fantastic video man as always! You just keep providing info for this game not found anywhere else! I'm beginning to think you have a connection within Nintendo itself lol.

[@damerpyman1332]

I watch your videos and wondered how you did the fast spin but luckily now I know thanks!

[@kashinimeyo]

Wow, even after almost 4 years- I didn’t know some of these!

[@tsunamibs8274]

It would be great if you did one of these videos for Age of Calamity, I’m going through Age of Calamity right now and some tips would be great.

[@jerardocampo6617]

This was honestly really neat, and actually I’d like to see a video on all the hidden buffs that certain armor pieces have, cause I sure didn’t know about the Ancient Proficiency buff for Midna’s helmet

[@MystMikayla]

I basically never leave comments but I was so prepared for over half of this to be super basic things to where your title is clickbaity and I gotta say I'm genuinely astounded. I didn't know 99% of these! Thank you for living up to your video title name because this will be super useful!

[@zekeram129]

Fun Fact: Quick-spins are a staple amongst 3D Zelda games, which is why instant charge attacks are unique to the 1-handed weapon.

[@carterthomas8815]

Notification squad!

[@zaffle7456]

I counted 25 tips and 9 of them were new to me. That is WAY better than any other BotW tips and tricks video. Great job!

[@geo_frou]

Awesome video the boomerang one in the end was so smart!

[@ten-xlegacy4033]

Wow these were actually all really cool. Holy cow

[@LazyPerri]

When freezing enemies near water, most of them can’t swim and die so you can push them right in and they die instantly, don’t try this on lizolfios

[@DeepakKumar-fi4os]

Thanks.

[@paulrance5445]

@Carter Gieni, you can get some if it’s not the deepest pool

[@edgycabbage7279]

I'm so glad that someone finally says the royal guard set thing i figured it out cuz i was wearing it for fun but then i climbed, and was very confused

[@teddiursa3116]

Ive done multiple botw playthroughs and came into this with a high ego expecting to be a pro and know every single tip. I think there were 2 or 3 that i actually did know. Amazing video!
