[@contrabardus]

Here's a few: Elemental weapons provide temperature protection equivalent to lvl 1 protection when you have them equipped. You can also melt ice by standing next to it with a fire weapon equipped, it takes a while, but can save you resources. Use round bombs to lure Molduga. It is attracted to them when they roll across the sand and there's usually enough wind to keep them moving. Once it attacks them, set it off and it will land on the sand so you can attack. You can also safely walk across the sand by sneaking with stealth armor even when Molduga is nearby. If you have to wait for a while for something to happen, such as the shrine where you need a Bloodmoon, set up a campfire under cover. This way rain won't keep you from using it. Keep a fire weapon just for use as a 'lighter'. Sell your flint. Flameblades and rods are easily found. Especially after you get the flameguard armor with the upgrades. The same goes for ice wizrobes and the Snowquill armor, and electric wizrobes and the rubber armor. Once you have the immunity upgrades you are effectively invincible to wizrobes and can collect their wands with ease. Wizrobe wands are a great way to alter the plain chuchu jelly element. It's probably the most efficient way to do so in fact. Sneak armor works in the water too. You can use it to collect fish by simply swimming up to them and grabbing them. It's the most efficient fishing method in the game. You can teleport from anywhere. Use this to keep yourself from drowning or falling to your death if you run out of stamina. You can actually use it to avoid pretty much any death in a pinch, it even works inside shrines and dungeons. Ancient Armor is the best armor in the game. It is the highest rated defense of any set, provides extra protection from damage from ancient weapons and guardians, upgrading it increases the effectiveness of ancient and guardian weapons by 80%, and it stacks with damage boosting food. Additionally, ancient weapons have a damage bonus against Ancient enemies, which also stacks with the bonus for the Ancient Armor and food bonuses. Barbarian armor is only a 50% increase across all weapons, and does not stack with food or potion bonuses. Plus, you don't need to buy ancient weapons, just farm the Major Test of Strength shrines. They reset every bloodmoon. Bloodmoon frequency is based on how many enemies you've killed. If you need one for some reason, go monster hunting and kill a bunch of weaker enemies. Use weaker weapons against weaker monsters to save your durability on your good ones. You can usually just pick up whatever they are using to take care of them. You can deflect Octorock rocks back at them just by targeting them and blocking. Sometimes you need to position yourself a bit as it will go over them if you are too far away. You do not need to do a perfect block to do this, but it does wear down your shield. I recommend picking up weak shields for doing this if you have open slots to save your good ones. This does not work on the ones that suck stuff up and shoot exploding stones at you. Just lob a round bomb at those when they are sucking things up and set it off after they collect it. Land Octorocks are also easily dealt with. You can also hit them with their own rocks, but if you want to save your shield they hide underground when you get close to them. If you use a bladed weapon to cut off the bush on their head, they'll pop up and look around, giving you the opportunity to swat them. Also, you can tell which buried treasure chests are 'fake' octorock chests with magnesis. Legitimate chests turn red, octorock traps don't. The fastest way to make money later in the game is not to farm minigames, but instead is to farm Talus. They drop lots of gems and are easily killed once you have decent weapons. You can also use bombs to blow off their arms, making them easier to deal with and forcing them to dip down and expose their weak spot for an arrow shot or another bomb. The best way to hunt is not with arrows, but round bombs. You can often kill multiple animals at once, and it's far easier than lining up a bow shot. This is a great way to farm meat, particularly from wolves. You can pick up some smaller enemies. The Mini talus can be picked up. Hold them too long and they'll explode, but throwing them kills them. You can also pick up stal-monster heads and throw them. You can also use bombs to take out groups of the mini talus. Just drop a square one and move between it and them, and they'll shuffle right over to it, often letting you take out groups of four or five with one bomb. Hynox are a good source of precooked food and decent weapons. You can land on a Hynox and take the weapons before fighting it if you're careful and sneak. Using stealth armor helps with this. The best places to farm Lynels is north of Death Mountain and West of the Gut Check shrine. There are three white ones, one of each weapon type, along the road beyond the large ancient skeleton [where you should go to get Dinraal parts]. You do not need armor with fire, heat, or cold resistance to be in this area. Hyrule Castle is also a good spot, there are two, a Silver and a White one spawn in the guardhouses. Silver Lynels occasionally drop star pieces and five shot bows. Not frequently, but it's often enough that it's a good way to get them for upgrading armor. Multi shot bows only use one arrow, don't be afraid to use them because they don't eat up ammo any faster than any other bow. Vah Neboris's dungeon reward, Urbosa's Fury, is extremely useful for fighting giant enemies such as Lynels, Hynoxes, and Stalinox. Revali's Gale, obtained from Vah Medho, makes traversal much less of a pain, particularly in the rain. I recommend bringing down these two Divine Beasts first, Revali's Gale in particular. Mipha's power is the second most useless, because you can gather up to eleven faries. The trick is to hold the ones in your inventory them when you approach the Great Fairy fountains. As long as you're holding less than three in your inventory, four will usually spawn. If you have four or more, none will spawn. It's best to have seven when you visit the last fountain, so leave some fairies behind if need be to do this. Wearing stealth armor makes them easier to catch. Daruk's power is mostly useless as it slows you down when blocking, and is just a free hit. I usually disable it. You can go to Hyrule Castle at any time. There is nothing keeping you out beyond the difficulty of the enemies. It's a good spot to farm resources once you're strong enough, Moblin Parts, LIzalfo tails, Lynels, and ancient parts from the turrets. You don't have to enter the final room when there and can leave any time. It's also the location of one of the Major Test of Strength shrines and has lots of royal weapons. Be sure to fully exploit the castle as soon as you're strong enough. It is worth making ancient bows and arrows. The Ancient Bow with upgraded Ancient Armor is the most powerful bow in the game. Pretty much any of the other ancient stuff you can make is pretty much a waste of resources given how you can farm the shrines for them. The ancient shields are kind of nice too, but the ones you get from the major tests of strength are good enough for general use and are pretty durable. In fact, all Ancient and Guardian weapons have a high durability.

i got to a shrine that was covered in ice and i had no fire arrows left or a fire weapon, so i dropped a few red chu chu jellys by the ice, shot them with an arrow, and it set off a huge fire and the thing unfroze. i felt like a legend xD this was before i saw anyone else do that

[@pulsar01z]

lol nice, I used a fire elemental sword and melt the huge ice that way. That was my only option. I fear the weapon would break before the ice lol. Didn't look on internet either.

[@wholelottastairway8]

i did that too. thats a little more obvious then holding and dropping red chu chus tho lol...its basically the same as having fire arrows

[@Ghost217163]

wholelottastairway8 another thing you can do is hold a fire elemental blade out, the heat from it will melt the ice. You don't need to swing it either, just hold it out.

[@BigLord]

Ghost217163 that's also a good option, yeah... But it takes so long, it's unbearable to wait... It's like watching paint dry, but it's watching ice melt. I prefer the fire chuchus solution, since they're very common and I carry a fire weapon around.

[@wholelottastairway8]

i didnt have a fire weapon deg, thats why i was saying i felt like a legend with nothing but red chu chus and used my wit, not a guide. however i did used that method prior at another location when i had one. shooting an arrow at flint my also work now that i think about it..

If you want to avoid accidentally talking to a member of the YIGA CLAN, first go up to them close, you may notice they have distinct eyebrows that almost appear to be glaring at you (like they're imagining killing you already) and also if no name appears or their name is 'traveler' that is a sure sign you should run or prepare to fight!

Not so sure if this counts as a tip, but buy the house in Hateno and fill it with mounts ASAP so you can start storing items. There were weapons that I wanted to save for specific enemies, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to do so before buying the house. Honestly, I felt it was necessary anyway since Link really didn't have anywhere to call home after 100 years of healing and all. Either way, I found it helpful. I hope you do too.

[@Mo0may]

Birdetta Loves Yoshi - I do the same. I store specific weapons to be saved for later and still have space to carry. Plus once you completely finish upgrading the house, you unlock "From the Ground Up" quest line and open Tarry Town and a vendor who sells great items.

[@fable23]

HOW TO CHUMP SILVER ENEMIES USING MINIMAL WEAPON DURABILITY: 1. Have a frost weapon and a thunder weapon. 2. Freeze them with the frost weapon. 3. Switch to thunder weapon. Hit them while frozen for triple damage. 4. While they're stunned from the thunder, switch to frost weapon, repeat from step 2. This also works for arrows I believe.

[@skyboy884]

or just hit the with Urobora's fury, the stun is much longer and have great range

[@gameman3981]

The same thing (in terms of the defense thing) also goes for if you have the entire Ancient set of armor on (as long as it's upgraded to the maximum) as long as you have it on which means that the effect won't run out after 30 minutes and can be given to you (if that's the correct wording) whenever you want without having the need to spend ingredients.

You can throw a metal weapon at enemies just before lighting strikes as an attack. Boomerangs work best if you have good timing. If you don't have zora armour you can use cryonis to make steps on waterfalls. You can parry guardian lasers if you have good timing and it doesn't damage your shield if you're successful (so you can potentially use a pot lid to beat a guardian) You can destroy flying guardians by hitting the propellers. *spoilers* You can disable the champion abilities in he item menu if you want a challenge or you eat to save Daruk's protection for something other than the first ocktorok you come across.

Yeah, but you can only move at walking speed because pressing run causes you to cancel the rune.

this might seem kinda dumb but revali's gale can levitate certain objects if you hold it down without letting go. it doesn't have many uses that i have found but its still funny to shoot bombs in the air, cancel the jump and then freeze the bomb at head hight with stasis.

[@DingusBingus1]

Perhaps it could be useful to send bombs up to high places and kill enemies or perhaps even open up secrets

[@ZeoViolet]

If you are in the desert, night is very cold there, and you must equip clothing, food, or elixers to deal with that instead. Carrying an ice weapon will also work. Use Magnesis to lift anything metallic over your head for impromptu shade. If you really must and are without options otherwise, time your travels for early morning or late evening before the cold or heat sets in too far.

[@sebymaster64]

You can use red chu chu jelly to make a camp fire

[@certifiedroastbeefmaniac]

Hit a Lynel with an Ancient Arrow to make it disappear

[@DingusBingus1]

The description does say that it shoots foes into oblivion but damn, does the lynel drop his gear though?

[@EatingthatBread]

No loot though

[@DingusBingus1]

Stormblade 289 I'd rather fight him normally then. You can get Savage Lynel Swords with 72 damage

[@pine-o-matic6391]

Yeah, but if you're completely defenceless (few weapons and/or bad armor) it's always good to have those.

[@helsing5661]

It's not the case. Ancient arrows one-hit KO most enemies, but they won't drop the loot that fighting them normally do.

[@TiberiousNeruda]

One other temperature modification tip. Keep an elemental weapon in your inventory, and if you have it equipped, it will change the needle accordingly, so you can use a fire weapon/rod to get through where otherwise you'd need a Cold Resist 1. That's a neat little bit of attention to detail that may not get noticed by too many people.

[@accomplice7]

You can actually just drop the chuchu jelly and then swing an elemental weapon at it and it will turn into it, works with electricity as well.

[@Logaddi]

Some of my favorite mechanics is paragliding before you hit the ground to prevent fall damage. Running up mountains, whistle running, things that help me progress fast and easier.

[@chaosiscandytome]

Link Dundee..... fishing with bombs. They never swim away after.

[@motox20]

Few things. When farming Farosh, you don’t have to collect them one at a time, they stay on the ground through camping till morning, last time I farmed them I had 50 on the ground at once(though after about 30 or so the glow when they fall disappears, but you can still see them falling If you look close). You can change the Chu Chu Jelly’s element by putting them on the ground and swinging an elemental weapon over them or shooting an arrow near them. If you need to cool down or warm up you can equip a fire or ice weapon, just having it on you back will affect you temperature.

[@Dthehalfdragon]

You should know that you can drop bombs while gliding. Just have the rune set and hit L while in the air it just appers and falls. Real nice to rain down death to clear out a camp

[@taotravyuniversalist7747]

No way!!?? Can't wait for this

[@tyler19986]

When fighting Lynels use Stasis+, shoot an arrow into it's face to stun it, then run up to it and do a mount attack. Weapons don't degrade from mounted attacks so with this method it's possible to kill lynels with only a few arrows and still have a brand new weapon by the end (plus that loot from the spoils)!

[@Dino-jr7re]

Most of you probably know this but- When you’re fighting Vah Ruta, you can break the ice blocks and spikes with cryonis. Same with the boss inside (I forgot the name)

[@lincolnsmith7067]

Wait. People don’t do that?

[@addysonwiglesworth8289]

waterblight ganon is the name btw

[@TheTroupeMasterGrimm]

There’s a few things I would like to criticize. One. Cooking with dragon parts has a chance to greatly increase 1 of 3 things. The effectiveness of a dish, the health gained, or the duration. Another thing is, when you cook with dragon horns or star fragments, you do get that great critical cooking effect, but your missing out on a slot for another ingredient. To avoid this, cook food on the night a blood moon happens to get the critical cooking effect for free, (blood moons can only be forced by inducing a panic blood moon through glitching. They will occur naturally every three hours of time spent playing the game, this excludes loading screens, your inventory menu, and your map. After 162 minutes of playing, the game will try to spawn a blood moon the next night. Another thing is that blood moons do not respawn items like apples or durians or any other natural collectible. The map is divided into 80 different squares in an eight by ten formation. Every five minutes of time playing the game (excluding the things I already mentioned) one square will respawn it’s materials. Being in a square or any of the adjacent ones will stop that square from being replenished. One last thing, this isn’t a criticism, it’s more of a PSA. You can not buy the hylian shield from Dante until after you have naturally acquired it.

[@irenedougherty1085]

WARNING, SOMEWHAT SPOILERS FOR HYRULE CASTLE so if you go to the big pillar at the east and paraglide across to hyrule castle, there's some waterfalls for you to swim up, and once you finally get to all of the guardians, just run like hell and use your statsis rune, a lot, and after a few minutes you'll be at ganon

[@boastfultoast7066]

I went to Hyrule Castle just to see what it was like when I still had sorta weak gear, I went the way you just told about and my biggest problem was stamina for climbing, I easily evaded the Guardians, but then I climbed to the area above the Ganon room without knowing I went too high and just jumped off the castle and landed in the next area I was trying to go to. Well, I didn't want to beat the game yet anyway.

[@Doctosh]

If you buy monster elixir from Kilton and make a meal with it using strong enough components , you can get 30-minute status effects, as well.

[@levi-222]

some speedrun basic knowledge : you can use shieldsurfing for a double jump ( if you jump of a ledge) Can be usefull at shrines but you can use it at the overworld aswell. That's something i would wanted to know if i had begun the game :D

[@felipemanasses715]

You can freeze fish with a ice weapon and they give you heat resistance, though just for a little moment

[@pulsar01z]

Or you can drop some meat into a cold environnement (top of snowy mountains) and theyll turn into frozen meat.

[@felipemanasses715]

[@Dethseye]

haven't yet tried it in a fire area like Death Mountain but in a really cold area like in the hebra mountains when it's so cold you need to wear two items of clothing that will give you cold resistance all you really need is one and a flame weapon it comes in handy since my cold resistance armor isn't as good as other armor I could use one cold resistant armor and carry a flame spear I really want to try carrying a ice weapon around Death Mountain I hope it works

[@sumthinorother9615]

Well, Not Death Mountain. That area literally burns you. It does however work in Gerudo desert during the day.

[@choob9179]

You can use a shield as a double jump. Real helpful if you come across a big gap or if you're speed running. Simply jump and then take out your shield and press A as if you are shield surfing and then unequip the shield to quit shield surfing

[@bigfisher42]

you can ride a Lynel and damage him in the process. Also, getting the master sword should be your #1 priority... Just sayin

Chu Chu jelly activates no matter who hits it, so I really recommend stocking up on Red Chu Chu jelly, it's easier to come by than flint, and it works just the same, perfect for campfires. It also doesn't require a metal object to ignite, so it's much more useful.

maybe this will help, you can use wood based shield to collect arrows from bow wielder enemies. it takes little time but its frEE. just stand in front of them while you train them to shoot straight

[@ryan.m6936]

when you equip ice or fire weapons they will heat you up or cool you down this includes rods.

[@sicarius4749]

You can jump out of any attack aside from the ground pound. Just backflip / sidestep as you'd normally do. Also, if you have a bow equipped, you can't do a backflip. It does more of a light step back, which doesn't dodge as many attacks, and can't trigger flurry rush.

[@pieman2906]

Equipping a frost weapon helps you resist heat as well.

[@neilburgin8893]

The chuchu jelly changing thing I found out on my own. Which wasn't hard since it was pretty much stated by its description in the material menus about changing it with "elemental stimulation". That said, I never really tapped into the ways in which the jelly can actually be useful. I pretty much just dropped the jellies into campfires at stables to turn them red and then sold them to Beedle since the elemental jellies have twice the value in Rupees of the basic jellies. Ten rupees per jelly (vs. 5) can actually add up to quite a bit if you have a lot of them and are desperate for money.

To anyone having problems beating eventide, land on the water part of the shore and drop weapons, shields, and food. Then once you're ready you may step on the dry sand to trigger the cutscene. After the cutscene the items you dropped will still be there ready to be picked up and used. 😉

[@stephaniecameron2594]

an ice weapon can help with the desert heat. same with fire weapons in the cold

[@plantmuffin9866]

Tip: The master sword will light up anytime you are near a guardian (even flying scouts). This is a really useful way to tell if a guardian is 'dead' or not! Note: This won't work in Hyrule Castle because your sword is constantly glowing there, so stay vigilant!

[@cheesydraws]

b-but the Dragons are so pretty... why would I kill something so majestic? what am I, a monster?!

[@sindrawolf2345]

Cheesy Draws You don't kill them or hurt them. The spring shrines even require it.

[@freddymcfred17]

Couple things to add to this video, first off equipping fire or ice element weapons is another really good way to manage your temperature in the game. You can also create really short term "chilly" food items by dropping meat or fish in freezing water or extremely cold places. Regarding the thunder helm, it's important to know that you have to free Vah Naboris first and then interact with the Thunder Helm itself in Riju's throne room to make the Gerudo town side quests start showing up.

[@Mr_Bloodjack]

Survive heat? lol just equip an ice weapon! Survive cold?... take a guess!

Silver bokoblins dont eat food you drop You can cook food by dropping it on the ground in very hot temperatures And you can make raw meat icy which gives you heat resistance for 1 minute if you drop it on snow Im sure almost everyone knows these

if you don't have the good clothing in desert, you can equip an ice weapon (if you have one). it cools down the temperature. it does the same for cold places with fire weapons.

[@tw1stedsp0on]

Am I the only one who finds Lynels super easy to defeat? I've already defeated like 7 of them and, if you know the correct time to perform a flurry rush, you can kill them super easily

[@Corey_or_Something]

A few tips for the cloud of darkness: 1: use stasis or magnesis to see your surroundings, even without any light source. 2: if you have trouble with the hynox fight, stasis it to attack it, to shoot it in the eye or even just to know where exactly it is. 3: during fights you can use fire elemental weapons and arrows to have a better sight while also boosting your attack power. 4: You can use red jellies as a light source as well as a trap. Just don't hit yourself with them.

[@steel137]

Unless it was changed at some point. The Thunder Helm does not prevent electricity damage. It only makes you Immune to thunder strikes.

[@testingmysoup5678]

steel137 it does, but if you get hit by a shock arrow you'll still take the arrow damage. elec chu Chu's don't hurt you either

[@nintendoprodigyc]

The rubber armor level 2 gives you immunity to lightning strikes and beefs up your defense from electric attacks, so I prefer it over the thunder helm. Being dyeable and providing way more normal defense helps too.

[@hokk728]

The champion's tunic and ancient legs with the thunder helm provides higher defense

[@steel137]

well then it was, as I stated changed at some point. I only made this statement because I rushed getting the thunder helm when the game first came out. Thinking that of course it would grant immunity to all electricity however.. upon coming in contact with eletric arrows and weapons it still effected me, made me drop my gear, all those fun eletric benefits. Anyways, good luck out there guys~

[@getyourwish2847]

tip for hinox/taluses: if possible, get on a high point before fighting them. From there just use arrows till they're dead, and the chances are they'll barely be able to harm you. For example, on the Three Giants quest, glide/climb on top of the bones before fighting the hinox. From there, just shoot em till they're dead.

[@error5247]

whenever I had chu chu jelly I'd change it and sell it, stack it up and it gets you some nice money

I am having some kind of trouble with the dragon farming. Sometimes farosh won't appear, is this normal?

[@dot4205]

Joseph Lee yes

[@nintendoprodigyc]

If you want Farosh to always appear then just warp to the shrine next to the nearest stable and set up your campfire there til morning. Then just walk towards riola spring and Farosh will always emerge from the water. Then do as the video said, relight the fire, wait til morning, repeat.

[@dragonkingzippo]

dinraal is easier to farm, just go to the eldan leviathan bones there's a rock pillar right to the west of it (don't go too far past if you don't want to fight a lynel) you can just set up a campfire on the pillar, and when dinraal comes by its head is level with the pillar... i personally wait till the dragon gets real close so the campfire gets lit by it... wouldn't suggest the last bit unless you have the goron armor upgrade to be fireproof though, since dinraal only has one spawn point you don't even have to warp to reset... or at least i haven't had to, while i had to reset every two to three times for the other two (i only farmed dinraal 6 times in a row though since that's all i needed, so it may just have a longer window before a reset is needed) though getting to the spot can be a bit of a hazard but if you beat the lizard divine beast like two wheels of stamina gets you most of the way there from the volcano with no enemies to fight

[@Chacho131]

If you have offered up a scale to the spring of courage he will appear every morning.

[@MASrose8]

another reason why he doesn't show up is that if you are too close to where they spawn, they would not show up. put some more distance between yourself and their spawn point
