BOUGHT A HOUSE - Breath of the Wild [4]

[@Jyster370]

11:36 That sentence is context clues that (apparently) this is Link’s house from 100 years ago. The “guy that went for service to the castle” is Link.

[@LynetteTheRogue]

So you have to buy your own house back?

[@Jyster370]

@@LynetteTheRogue short answer, yes. Long answer, it’s considered an abandoned house for 100 years so it was “reclaimed” by the village, so it’s not Link’s house anymore. It’s Links house that been reclaimed. (Idk if you wanted the whole explanation lol)

[@sharondornhoff7563]

Only if you assume Link was the only dude from Hateno Village who was employed at the castle back then. Remember, *nobody* who was at Hyrule Castle when the Calamity struck made it home alive; the house's former owner could've been a clerk or a gardener or a carpenter or King Rhoam's personal chamber-pot-emptier, for all we know.

[@CherryCherub97]

About the Link outfits you can get with the amiibos: There's a chance that you can get a piece of Link's green tunic using some amiibos, but you might also get a weapon or jewel instead. Try using the amiibos once a day (realtime, not an ingame day) and you'll eventually get the tunics. There's even different tunics based on different Links, like WW and OoT/MM.

[@dmonfoxfire]

You get the BOTW Link outfit by doing all 120 shrines, which means I’ve never gotten it 😂

[@joshvanbonn925]

More then just the Tunics, example the Twilight Princess Link Amiibo can eventually grant you the full Twilight Princess Link set. 😁 Also the first time you scan the Ocarina of time Link you get Epona. Only way if I remember correctly

She couldn't summon Epona again, discovered she actually was still on the cliff where she was first summoned, and tried to get her safely down with no success. But another mega nerd commented that the game has a secret mechanic that tracks and preserves the last wild horse you rode, so if she mounts another wild horse it'll allow Epona to vanish and she'll be able to re-summon her.

[@VerbenaHA]

Hi Gab! I just want to say that you're doing great! I want to share a few animal facts that I think are pretty cool. Birds that are circling high in the air are flying over a shrine! You can hold a lit torch underneath a beehive to 'smoke' the bees away. Sanke Carp are a valuable koi fish that live in the pond behind Impa's house. REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN!

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Nooooo don't break your weapons on trees!!! If you don't have a Woodcutter's Axe handy, you can always use bombs. The first bomb knocks down the tree, and a second one will convert the log into a bundle of wood for you. You can even get multiple trees with the same bomb.

[@C0LPAN1C]

I agree. Just use your bombs in general. Especially once you upgrade them. Bomb upgrades are crucial. Especially farming for ores and wood.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Amber is actually one of the best things to sell, because it's so common. Holding onto your sapphires and rubies, while not really important, is actually more advisable than holding onto amber. You get it all the time, and it has a pretty good rate per item, like as much as a meal without you having to cook the meal. 100 amber would have paid for the house on its own, if you waited long enough to build up that much. Luminous Stones are even better, because you can guarantee they'll drop from Luminous Ore (which is trackable with the Sheikah Sensor), and they sell for twice as much. (Don't exchange them with Ledo unless you really need a diamond, that's a financial loss after the first time.) (also sorry for my comment spam, this is the first episode of this that I've caught relatively soon after you posted it so I figured you might actually be able to use some of my tips this time!)

Nice you got Epona ! You should go and register her next time, she is AMAZING :) Little cheat trick to get better luck for the amibo's outfit : save the game, then invoke an amibo chest, if you don't like the result go back to the previous saved file. Know that some amibos don't have special items. Best of luck !

[@moniquebaird6281]

Tip for Stone Talus fights and mining gems: the talus and gem “rocks” (I guess that’s what you’d call them I’m not really sure)are both very vulnerable to the sledgehammer weapons! Takes a lot less hits than blades or wooden weapons.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Oh, something else I noticed last episode but didn't mention: you were using a Phrenic Bow for most of it, which does 10 damage, but you were having trouble seeing and moving when you drew it. If you read the description of the bow, it says something about how it shoots particularly far and something about concentration. That's one of just two different bows with the "scope" ability, which means they zoom in on the target when you draw them. Really bad for short-range combat, but amazing for long-range sniping, so it's worth keeping one around.

[@shouldbewritig]

My favorite bow! I use those so much when I’m doing Korok seed hunting and some other stuff

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

@@shouldbewritig I think once you have a Golden Bow you'll only really want to use the Phrenic Bow during a thunderstorm, and if you have the rubber set bonus or the Thunder Helm you don't even need to worry about that. Plus the Ancient Bow is even better because it like applies totally different physics to the arrow (it's like _almost_ perfectly straight and I think moves much faster) and you can get a huge attack boost from ancient armor, but all those things are expensive and you might not want to wear it down on Korok seeds...

You could point to a random spot on the map and there are gonna be like a thousand interesting things in it. I really hope you take your time in Hyrule and explore it to the most! Oh and also, if you're wondering what Divine Beast you should tackle next, I highly, HIGHLY, HIIIIIIGHLY recommend the one on the top left corner of the map, to the Northwest. Conceptually I think it's the coolest, plus it's very forgiving, the areas around it have some incredibly useful items and gear, the Champion Power is without a doubt the most useful, plus its respective race is also really cool, and it's next to my favourite region in the entire game. I really hope you head there next!

Yeah I really hate that she's just looking up online where it's "recommended" to go next. If she just went by how hard a time she had trying to get to each point marked in the quest log, she'd absolutely be in Rito Village next. At least she'll do Naboris last, everyone agrees _that's_ a good idea.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

@@a_a3189 Well I would never say I hate her, or I hate the playthrough. I try to say "I hate THAT something is..." rather than have a specific object of the hate. But you're right, it's probably too strong here as well. I just place a lot of value on the game experience and discovering things and deciding where to go on your own without IGN misinformation affecting it. Like, she looked that up assuming Vah Ruta was the "first intended beast," so naturally the info she finds is going to be based on someone else's experience rather than her own, and she's not even going to apply it in the way they would. But it's not something I'd want to tell her directly, even if it bothers me. There are times when a playthrough has caused me to get so mad I realize it's a better idea not to watch it, and this is not one of those times, I just wish she wouldn't do that.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

@@Latinofire202 The Point B's are all marked on the map in this case. All she had to do was pick one of the beasts from the points on the quest log and head in that direction. Further decisions could have been made based on how hard a time she had getting there, not what some random guide online says. I understand that this is entertainment and she wants to keep things moving and not just spend hours in one part of the map, but there are ways to do that without relying on looking up which beast is "next." (Part of my frustration also comes from the fact that she's assuming there's a best order to do them in, and that the guides online will know and agree on what it is.)

[@Vasilio1000]

Getting distracted in a large open world game is a perfectly natural thing and it only adds great stuff to watch :) If you agree to give us more exploration episodes (it is really very interesting to watch and the story won't run away anyway), I would suggest to explore Mount Lanayru. It is the highest mountain on the map and a really cool (and cold too) place. You can get the green (cold resistance) tunic also in the shop, it is not too expensive; it is for free if you do a little quest in the starting area, but I don't know if you still can get it now that the old man/King is gone. Cheers, it's always a pleasure to watch your play-throughs.

You can, there's a chest that appears in his house near Ja Baij Shrine (Bombs trial).

[@grumpy6837]

Since Gab freed her first Divine Beast last video, here's an interesting but sad fact about all Divine Beasts OST: If you listen closely you can hear a hidden SOS morse signal playing over and over again in the background on all four tracks. These were probably a last cry for help from the champions. They start at different moments with Vah Medoh being the last one to set in, but also the most frantic/prominent one. Vah Rutas is the earliest. The other two fall somewhere in between. Vah Naboris is probably the hardest to hear. Keeping the personalities of each champion/their dialogue from the Champions Ballad DLC in mind, the timing and prominence make sense. It just emphasizes the terrible fate of the champions way better than the writing ever did. On a good note: once you activate the first terminal in each Divine Beast the signal finally stops after 100 years. PS: There are also so called SAD signals (search and destroy)

[@zephyr4254]

A few thoughts and advice, loving this series! My favorite part of the game is on Mount Lanayru. I beg you to go visit the peak of the mountain. Genuinely the coolest thing in the game in my opinion, its an amazing experience and really made me realize this was one of my favorite games. It's just to the northeast of Hateno I can’t tell you how great the Hudson side-quest in Akkala is. The best one in the game! But I’d say it’s definitely a late-game side-quest to complete so I wouldn’t worry about it for now. But you should definitely stock up on wood as you play the game naturally. The amiibo are like loot boxes that have certain drop rates for certain items. If you want the best rewards, being the outfits and special weapons, you should try it everyday! You can scan as many amiibo as you want but each amiibo can only be scanned once a day. Thanks for the great videos! I always am looking forward to the next one.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

The Spring of Wisdom shrine quest is like the most cinematic thing in the game, it's kinda crazy how the game almost doesn't direct you there at all compared to the Divine Beasts. I mean, the Divine Beasts are cool and I like them, but they mostly just kinda sit there and it's hard to get a nice view of them when you're attacking them. I might have told her to approach from Kakariko instead, along the old promenade, because there are a couple rewards along that way. But that takes you straight past a Lynel, so maybe not...

[@jamesdiez6685]

@@Nat_the_Chicken For sure. I do think it’s cool that it doesn’t direct you to the quest because once I found it I was so shocked and in awe, it was such a cool feeling!

A good way to farm gems is to take pictures of the ore nodes, especially the rare golden ones. That way you can track them with the sensor. You can also do this with chests, which makes tracking them down in shrines and beasts much easier.

If you're still struggling with getting rupees, unlocking special shrine in the Faron region will allow an "ancient one" to spawn every day at a specific time, and you can sell parts of the "ancient one" for lots of rupees!! Look for the mouth of the serpent in Faron. Loving this series so much- I hope you are loving the game as much as I do :)

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

No unlocking required for this, he shows up regardless of whether you've done the relevant quest.

[@svncerity]

A few tips: 1. Sell your gems. It’s true they can be used to upgrade armor but they’re usually used in the final upgrades which aren’t available until you unlock the final great fairy, which is later game content. Ore is easy to find and gems aren’t super rare. 2. Koroks! Look at every weird little thing. The extra weapon slots become important especially with harder bosses later game. And as you go the # of koroks needed for slots goes up! 3. The enemies get harder as you progress and their difficulty level is associated with their colors. For bokoblins, is goes red -> blue -> black -> white -> gold (gold is only in master mode). It’s helpful to know how tough an enemy is before you start swinging!

Amiibo are pretty weird in this game. They do have a daily limit, but only per amiibo chip, so if you have duplicates you can scan them all at once. That boomerang you got is _not_ an amiibo exclusive weapon, you can find it in other chests in the game and the design is specific to BotW (so don't bother to keep it around since it's so weak). The Edge of Duality isn't either, although that's worth keeping around; you'll likely find more in shrines and whatnot. But there actually is a special Sea-Breeze Boomerang you can get from the Wind Waker Link amiibo, as well as a special green clothing set. There are quite a few amiibo-exclusive weapons and armor pieces, but there's only a small random chance you'll get one in the chest every time you scan, so keep trying with your Zelda series amiibos if you want to eventually get some of them, and don't hold a normal item sacred just because it came out of an amiibo chest, it just means you got unlucky.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Non-Zelda amiibos will still rain items and a chest, just no chance for exclusives. Only a couple of the Zelda ones give you Epona instead of random items, and once you've registered her you can't use them anymore afaik. (She has good stats and an automatically maxed bond though, pretty good.) Wolf Link is unique, since that amiibo is a rare collector's item. (I think his max health also depends on something stored from a TP file, maybe on the chip itself? No idea how that works exactly.)

[@Suusje1994]

Haven't seen this tip yet so here goes; try cooking right before a blood moon (when the music starts). Everything will get the special jingle, which means you recover more hearts or the effects lasts longer when you eat that dish. Great series so far Gab!

[@januaryroses2674]

Here's another 15 tips and tricks. 1. When climbing, you get an extra jump boost during the very last bit of your stamina wheel. 2. You can heal your horse by feeding it. 3. Each stable has a nearby shrine for fast traveling. 4. A well-trained horse will automatically follow a path without any input from you. 5. If you ever have to abandon your horse because it's too dangerous to retrieve him, you can always run back to the stables and have the innkeeper retrieve him. 6. Fun fact! You can ride deers, bears, skeletal horses, and a creature that can be found at Satori Mountain. 7. Black ore stones with gold tips have a higher chance of containing rarer gems than ones without. 8. You can actually register Epona at a stable! Try summoning her with the Amiibo cards right next to a stable. I think it's safe to say you have no idea where she is now, lol. 9. You have to keep on trying out the Amiibo cards and figures to try to get the outfits from the other games. It's all based on luck! You can try every 24 real-world hours, though you can just turn auto-save off for now and keep resetting until you get everything. 10. Parry a guardian's beam by holding up your shield, timing it right, and pressing A. 11. You can tell if an animal/critter/enemy/item/object hasn't been registered by the orange outline that appears when taking pics. If it's blue, you took the picture already. 12. Back in Episode 1, you mentioned seeing a rabbit while going to a fairy fountain in Kakariko. While cruel, the purpose of these rabbits is to actually shoot them for rupees. They're called Blupees, and there's a fixed spawn in that area. 13. When adventuring to Death Mountain, make sure to unequip any wooden shields, weapons, and bows. 14. At the stable at the foot of Death Mountain, look at the recipe on the wall. Cook up at least 3 elixirs if you can, but you can just buy it as well. 15. Make sure to bring 600+ rupees before going to Death Mountain. You will be on fire, and you're gonna panic. Good luck and stay calm!

[@ChibiSadoLover]

There is a climbing set that gives you a boost with climbing. Just climb up the back way to the tower. Way fewer flying dudes to deal with. I think Dah Hesho shrine is by a fairy fountain. Also by the village Hudson is making. You should go see him. Bombs work for dropping trees and mining gems. Upgrade your bombs to have them do damage to enemies (I like standing on the cliffs above the henox you fought and dropping then on it to kill it without wasting weapons). Take pictures of mineral deposits so you can hunt them down. There are different types, so try to get them all. This will help you with the Zora quest's extended part.

[@thepewdiepiegirlakaamandaf3832]

You are doing some really good progress Gabs keep up the good work! Here are some small tips for your future journey at this point: If you want to get the Akkla tower, I would suggest to get more of the stamina wheel as possible. Don't worry I was scared even going to that tower because of the surveillance guardians. The way I did it was to climb the outskirts of the hill to where mobs and surveillance guardians won't see you, such as not taking the path upwards lol. (That is the most important part when you have enough stamina to climb all the way to the top of the hill) When you get to the top, there will be an abundance of ruins, black goo, and a mud pool surrounding the tower. As far as I know, there wasn't much of an advantage point to jump off outside from all of the surrounding obstacles and just fly straight towards the tower. I suggest is to take down some of the mobs on the way in and find the highest arch once you get midly close to the tower in the ruins. Now I had noticed that you were trying to flee from these surveillance guardians on the way up. Worry not, there is a type of arrow that can kill any kind of guardian you come across in the world and they are potentially very rare. They are called ancient arrows, you only get a few of them through shrines, chests and at the Akkala lab. Normal arrows and elemental ones don't do much damage, it's only the ancient arrows. To kill guardians such as the ones that are in the air or on the ground, you would need to shoot a critical hit in order for a one-shot kill. Another method to kill guardians (mainly the survaillance guardians) you can drop a boulder or hit a metallic box at them and they will die. (This part is very much helpful if you are going against the divine beast in the volcanic region if you either do or don't have ancient arrows) As for the stone talus that you fought with wolf link, get bomb arrows. Bomb arrows really pack a punch when it comes to fighting those rock monsters. Becareful of them though, don't want to explode yourself accidentally when using them. (Fyi, if its raining and you use bomb arrows, they won't explode because of the rain lol) Now weapons....... do not pick up torches, spoons, and pot lids please. As you go through the world you will find better weapons. Now as for weapon use, in my opinion, I would use the weakest ones first so that way they not only do decent amount of damage until it breaks, but it will save you more weapon space for better weapons in the future. I had noticed this because you've kept finding better weapons and didn't have the storage for them. So start off with the weakest first and make your way down the line to the stronger weapons. Your strongest weapons will come in handy in case of emergencies only! If you so happen to find better and stronger weapons that you have, you can get rid of them and stick to the ones you like. Along with weapons, TAKE PICTURES OF THEM!!!! If there comes a time to where you find a really useful strong weapon, take a picture of it so that way you can track them in case you need it again. That is the point of having the hyrule compendium. IN ADDITION TO THAT, you can even see and track down the things you've already took pictures of. (Including mobs, foods, and weapons) For example, the Lynel in Zora's Domain, you took a pic of it. You can see the description, the things that are dropped and the regions they are located at. *sighs* Give me a moment to breath...........ok....... Ok, Axes and Hammers. Axes are mainly used for wood and Hammers are used for rocks, pretty simple right? If you have any spare time in the gameplay and just want to stock up on wood or minerals for missions or on the go for money, I would recommend at least have a hammer on the go. Do not, I repeat, do not use hammers on mobs. (Unless you don't have any other weapons then by all means use it) Hammers are great for rock breaking to get minerals. Do trust me when I say this, its better to have loads of minerals on hand at this point in the game because you will give in to buying arrows, clothes or any other items you come across. Amber itself is a very common mineral found in many ore deposits, so keep on hammering! (Also do take pictures of the ore deposits, you can track them as well) That is the end of my tips so far, I wasn't really expecting this to be an essay of any kind sorry about that. I hope this helps Gabs! ^.^ Luv chu

This is the only game I have completed that has any sort of intense combat! More of a Stardew/Animal Crossing girlie but I will share some tips I picked up. -There is no right or wrong way to do anything, if a problem seems unsolvable, cycle through your sheika slate tools and you can probably find a solution -The parrying and flurry rush are LIFESAVERS in any combat situation, each monster has slightly different timings but generally you want to backflip or side hop just before the swing. (always side hop for spears) -For reflecting the lasers, after the build-up there is a beep right before they shoot, that is when you press A. You may have to work on the timing, but I usually deflect it if I press right after that beep. You also have to have an actual shield out, so no two handed weapons! -I would strongly suggest trying to get as many towers as you can, even if you aren't going to explore that area right away. -Mark big bads on your map with stamps, like Lynels and Hinoxes, it helps avoid them later, or helps you find them again if you need to farm monster parts for clothing upgrades. This game is huge, with literally hundreds of side quests so I wouldn't get too focussed on any one quest, especially early game. Have fun exploring and just collect everything you see, then later you can go back and you usually have most of the things for quests already. I almost had a panic attack fighting that first Lynel in the Zora area, but it taught me a lot about the combat of the game. Especially the timings for the flurry rush. If I can do it, you can do it! Loving the playthrough!

[@pooftiger]

Loving this. I just picked up my game a bit ago to polish up for the sequel. Don't forget you have runes. I watched a bunch of experienced professional gamers spend an hour and half trying to get into Hyrule Castle because they could not cross the current in the river with their beginning stamina. They forgot entirely about the ice block stepping stones of cryonis. You can use them for a ton of fun stuff, including fishing and stealing horses from Bokoblins. Easy way to determine if you are somewhere you "should not be" is the color of the enemies. From easy to hard.. red, blue, black, silver then gold is hardest.

If you cook 2 meat items (hylian bass, raw meat, drumsticks, and the like) and 3 of any status items (ironshrooms, peppers, armoranth, silent shrooms, and the like) you will get a high level food that will sell for a high value. I bought everything in the game this way. As long as you're exploring and collecting everything you can, which you seem to be doing, you can't go wrong. Thank you for giving this game another go :) I love your videos in general, and I've been loving this series so far! Keep up your already excellent work

[@neh1412]

Happy to see another episode! BOTW has always reminded me of a LOZ themed Fromsoft game. Not necessarily in difficulty, but in the size of the world and the freedom within it. You can head straight to the final boss when you first wake up at the start of the game if you want but doing side quests and story quests help you to level to be better prepared. Also in the way that you need to do side quests, read item descriptions and talk to NPC's to really put together how things work and to piece together the lore of the world. It's one of my favorite things about this game! Even after having beaten it years ago, I'm still finding things to do in the world!

[@MrPuddle01]

If you want to farm gems for money, then it's a good idea to put down map markers whenever you find a bunch of gems in one place because they respawn after the blood moon just like the enemies.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

That's actually not strictly true, they may respawn more often than that. A lot of environmental elements like ores, trees and other plants are regenerated using a map square system where a certain map square will be completely restored every so often. I don't know the exact rules or intervals, it may be partially random. The only materials that respawn after the blood moon are the ones directly linked to enemies, like the weapons they use.

[@zobugz]

The warm doublet has a low level warmth bonus, so any meals with only 1 snowflake can be sold because you can just use the doublet! also the central tower is totally possible to climb without having to kill the gaurdians, its the only way I've gotten the tower every time I've played, just hop to the next platform and crouch, some are a lil finicky but its easier than killing the gaurdians

[@Tar0Tuber]

Instead of cooking meals for cold resistance there is a free warm doublet at the old man's cabin in the plateau

[@wayland513]

I started replaying the game in Master Mode because of this playthrough. I kinda forgot how fun BOTW is.

[@shouldbewritig]

You’re braver than me. I thought about taking a run at Master Mode but I chickened out so instead I’m still 100%-ing the regular game.

[@Latinofire202]

I love this game but Master Mode was a let down. The fact that all the monsters regen but your weapons are the same with durability kinda sucks. That doesn't make the game harder, just more annoying. It's even worse when doing the Trails

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

It seems like you're starting to fret over not having enough weapons slots. You could always head to korok forest and navigate your way in. Prepare, it has challenges.

[@AveryLiligant]

I nearly cried after you used the amiibos ! Ahhh I miss Twilight princess so much after that especially him because technically in the end of the game we never get a chance to see him ever again after what Midna did. The exact sound effects made it so much better. It's sad he can get hurt though.

[@theives6817]

Quick tip for dealing with guardian lasers: You can reflect the lasers by parrying, with any shield, at the right time. You can mess around with the timing but it's waayyy more forgiving than in Eldenring. :)

[@EvilGeniusIIpi]

Ancient shields also auto-parry guardian lasers.

[@Dcool77]

Watching the series is making me replay BoTW for the first time in years and loving every moment plus loving the series

[@Sarah-158]

I got so far in the game when it first came out, but never actually faced ganon in the final battle 😂 Watching your series makes me feel like I'm playing it all over again, I can't wait to finally see how the story pans out

[@brianaallbright3525]

Same! I loved the game so much that I didn’t do the final battle because I didn’t want the game to end 😭 but now that Tears of the Kingdom is coming soon, I’m playing it again all the way through with the intent of finishing it!

[@amberlehmann6206]

That's exactly what I'm doing! I never beat Ganon but this is giving me the motivation

18:37 Gab “who who”’ed back at the owl like I always do, my day is made 🤣🦉

[@story_secrets]

I'm sure someone's already mentioned this before but just in case: underneath your shrine indicator, there is a temperature gauge so you can tell when it's too cold or too hot and when it's normal (and i wouldn't eat cold resistant foods unless you're actually freezing, otherwise the effect is pretty much useless. Same with if it's too hot.) Below that it shows how much noise you're making, and basically will help you determine if you can sneak up on enemies or not. Sneaky foods/elixirs will help dampen the noise you make when trying to sneak up on enemies. And then finally below that, there's the Weather Forecast! It will show you what the weather is currently and what it will be -- raindrops mean it's just raining and there's no fear of lightning strikes, Lightning Bolt obviously means better take off all metal gear, etc. And it will tell you when it's about to end or start doing the nasty weather, which is helpful.

[@ProducerJS]

Here's a friendly reminder to drop by Great Fairy Fountains to increase the defensive stats of your armor! Loving the playthrough, thank you! ❤

[@lexedmo]

these videos are making my day, thank you so much!!

[@epicdrood]

A sneak tip: In the bottom right corner next to your mini map the circle with the pink lines is showing how much sound you are making. The sneak armor in the first village is great but expensive. It was my favorite set for my playthrough! (But I love to sneak) Loving your playthrough!! Thank you for playing!!

[@Ajlez]

Ohh I've never seen the amiibo things before, awesome!! I sometimes have memories still from your Twilight Princess playthrough, as if I played it myself, still haven't but I really look forward to when I do 🥰!

[@hamshavathanaorzora6515]

I love the cooking animation and song... Link's complete blue Zora armour looks so cool, love it

[@AstaraelsEcho]

Haha I also had all of the champions' gear displayed on my first playthrough. On my master mode playthrough I have the cooler amiibo gear I've gotten, like the Sword of the Six Sages, Biggoron's Sword, Twilight Bow, and Hero's Shield. And a tip for how I personally learned to parry Guardians: I would walk RIGHT UP to a Guardian Stalker or Decayed Guardian, and... close my eyes. Just listen for the beep and parry! After mastering the most common Guardians, you can apply the same principle to Skywatchers, Turrets, and Scouts. =) Additional Guardian Parry Notes: 1) Decayed Guardians will die in one parry, while Guardian Stalkers die in three. 2) Distance from the Guardian affects the parry timing, which is why I prefer to get all up in their business like a Chihuahua 3) You can parry a Guardian's laser with ANY shield--even a pot lid--and if you time it right, it will not break. 4) If you parry a fraction too early or late, the laser will be deflected, but break your shield and not hit the Guardian. 5) The Ancient Shield that you can craft/buy from the Ancient Akkala Tech Lab in East Akkala will essentially parry every Guardian laser by just blocking, but successfully parrying will not damage the shield. 6) In master mode, the timing of their laser charging will change after the first shot.

[@DeadxUnicorn]

I've started replaying this game for the first time in 2 years because of your videos, forgot how much I loved this!

[@orestism5642]

I love this series! I yelled out ''YESS'' when i saw that you uploaded a new breath of the wild video :D

[@jackholmes139]

Hey Gab! Boo, no Goobers this time! Anyway, here's a few more helpful tips: 1. Don't throw your weapons when they're low, you can actually get quite a few more hits out of them and you're more likely to miss and break them. 2. Iron sledgehammers and drillshafts instantly break those ore veins and lose almost no durability doing it, so leave those for that if you can instead of using any other weapon. Bombs also work in a pinch, but only give you one gem instead of a chance for multiple. 3. Don't use anything but an axe for chopping trees (same as above) except of course that you can use bombs which are super useful! 4. You can cook things on a regular fire too! Make roasted food by lighting a fire, then throwing things on top. No cooking pot, just a bundle of wood and light it with a flint or a fire weapon (anywhere in death mountain also cooks them). 5. South area of the world has lots of great stuff for your horse: Better armor, armor that let's you teleport them to you (almost) anywhere in the world, and even a fairy who will bring them back from the dead for you! 6. You can use bombs to blow up the Stone Talus' arms and stun them, and if the weak spot is on their back you can reach it with a spear. Love the series, don't give up!

[@travisjacobs715]

Glad you’re giving it another go. Best game of all time.

[@ericmarois6960]

I have been following your Breath of the Wild series of videos and I am enjoying them a great deal even when you're "not getting anything special done story wise" because I enjoy watching and listening to you playing the game. You give great feedback about what's going on and the game provides plenty of opportunities for adventure even when the main quest line isn't moving forward. Don't worry about a thing, keep playing and enjoying the game, I will be happy to keep tuning in. Thanks.

[@nyyxs]

I recommend the Sheika armor in Kakariko village...great for sneaking on enemies, bug and lizard catching for potions, even swimming to catch fish...sneaky sneaky!! You can level up the defense at any fairy fountain!

[@willwithanxbox]

The teleportation device lets you put a fast travel marker anywhere.The rubber armor can be found by doing 3 separate quests. 2 shrine quest and one quest at a stable and when upgraded twice will grant full electricity immunity including from lightning.

[@Leyobin]

1. I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who struggled to get the lighting scale shrine quest done! 2. I'm enjoying this play through so much! So chill🥰

[@bond77581]

It may have been mentioned, but using bombs on trees will also cut them down and another to blow them up into bundles. Saves the wear and tear on your weapons. Keep on trucking Gabs, you got this!

[@MrPuddle01]

a tip for healing. drops lots of meat or apples or even fish on a fire (not a cookpot) and they will cook. cooking them this way does not take up space in your meals tab. this way you can use all of the meal slots for ability food like extra damage or stamina.

[@c1gburns]

I’m so glad you’re keeping BOTW going! I don’t have any tips bc I don’t wanna bombard you with info lol, but loving these playthroughs! 💙

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

I wish I had your restraint, I've left like four comments and had to hold myself back from writing more...

[@c1gburns]

@@Nat_the_Chicken lmao there have been a few times where I was face palming (like during the blood moon in this episode 😂) but I just remember I was new to BOTW once and OOT is my favorite game if that says anything about me. So it’s also fun to watch her learn!

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

@@c1gburns I don't know what it says about you since I still haven't gotten to most of the Zelda series, but this was like my first introduction to Nintendo and I enjoy becoming an expert in games and telling people all of the obscure facts about how they work. So it's not so much that I dislike her not knowing what's in the game, that makes it better (and makes it frustrating when she looks things up on her phone). I just want to help her avoid misconceptions or major wastes of time/materials mostly. Even keeping it to comments related to that, there are still at least ten things I could tell her, but I specifically don't want to mention something like "you didn't get the shrine near the stable in akkala" because she'll probably get it eventually and it doesn't matter.

hi, gab just wanted to let you know that in order to get the cool amiibo outfits you can save the game, then scan the link amiibo for a tunic, if you don't get a tunic piece then you can reload the last save file. Note that you can scan the same amiibo once a day (i think). Good luck! Love this series!!

[@nyxedbones3811]

Loving the series so far :D Ive missed breath of the wild but havent actually watched a real playthrough of it from anyone yet so these episodes have been nice. Look forward to more

[@NeytiriPhoenix]

Three tools I try to always keep handy is a sledgehammer, an axe and a torch (Only really need one of each). You'll probably need all three of them at some point or another. You can get a great double bladed axe in several places, one being the woodlands stable just north east of Central Hyrule (south of the large Sakura Tree you saw in the previous video) There are other places to find the double axe too though. And there will always be a sledgehammer or two lying against your house where the Bolson guys left it. Also that's not THE windwaker boomerang that's just a regular boomerang so it's not actually that special. The amiibos WILL give you the outfits for almost all of the amiibo's (ones for Ganon and Sheik too) but they give them in parts and it's a randomised chance each day. You can use all the amiibos once a day there is no limit on the number of amiibo's just the number of uses on each ie. once per day. There is a cheat way to try and get the outfits by saving manually before using an amiibo card and then reloading that save if you don't get what you want and keep doing that until you get it. You will only get one part a day though ie. pants, shirt or hat. The amiibos are great though. All of the zelda ones will give you a bunch of ingredients or materials and one chest (except the horse amiibo which has a chance to give you two chests at a time as it's item's come in pairs, bridle and saddle) And you can use them every day to give you stuff. Each amiibo has the chance to give you a weapon or item that is available in game but each one also has special themed items after the amiibo that will be rare and only available through the amiibo. Note: Two amiibos for Zelda give you exactly the same items, the one that gives you Epona so if you use both you could end up with two Eponas because the first time both of these amiibos are used they will always give you Epona. You can look up online what every Amiibo is capable of giving you. Also: GO SOUTH TO FARON. It's a really good area for Luminous Stones and Hearty Durians. There are some lightning enemies but they can easily be avoided. The tower can be fairly easy to unlock there and if you go North West from the tower along the mountain range (Left Side) there are numerous Luminous Ore deposits for great money. Trading them for diamonds isn't all that lucrative unless you need diamonds. Diamond worth 500 = Luminous Stones (70 each x 10 = 700) so you would actually be losing value. Also the shrines in the south are fairly easy too and there's a useful Fairy down there near the Highland Stable. Faron is bottom Middle of the map. Go over the Bridge over Lake Hylia and turn right into the Jungle and you'll be in Faron.

[@tophertronic1723]

Perfect material to crochet to! And I’m learning things about the game I didn’t know despite playing it loads! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@Niriixa]

Every new BOTW video just fills me with joy at all the exploration!

[@m.s.5370]

Some things I think are important: 1: You should always keep at least one woodcutter's axe for trees and one sledgehammer for ores on you. That way, you can use the rest of your weapons for actual fights. However, as there isn't much room in your inventory just yet, I recommend searching for Korok seeds and upgrading your melee weapon slot so that this becomes easier. 2: Don't fret over selling jewels, especially amber. They're SO easy to find, it's no big deal to just sell all of the ones you have. Trust me, you'll get 'em back in no time. Also, if you're unsure what to sell: monster materials. Wait until you have a shit ton of Bokoblin horns, or Moblin fangs, or Lizalfos tails, and sell them 100 at a time. It's the same as with the ambers: they're quite abundant (if you're good at fighting, that is).

[@sarctries]

That little recap at the end with the path was the best XD

[@Tazerboy_10]

😀👍️ Early game: > Make food until you've completed a sufficient amount of shrines for hearts... (More hearts, the more damage you can tank) > Use bombs to get resources (Round - For going downhills / Square - For stationary bombs) - That or just use a wood cutter's axe and the hammer for mining minerals... > Make/cook foods for initial traversing Death Mountain and Herba Mountains (Get respective weather/temperature resistant gear right away) > To get more agile animals and bugs; Get the Shiekah outfit ASAP (I prefer going the stealth route in games, if that's possible) The different Legend of Zelda Amiibos do give Link's outfit (depending on the Amiibo used), but it's a percentage that you get a piece of any set...

[@swishingtail3752]

[@TerminatorJuice]

Bombs are the best way to get wood in this game! Throw one and detonate near trees and it knocks them down, and then switch to the other bomb type and use it to hit the fallen trunk, which turns into wood bundles without doing and damage to your weapons!!! It's a perfect and quick way to collect wood bundles!

Such an interesting playstyle, love it! A few suggestions; pick up everything. Use bombs on everything (especially FISH and other harvestable wildlife). Make elixirs to sell for money and always use 5 ingredients (monster parts plus bugs/frogs/insects). And have fun, BoTW is an amazing game.

[@imbackihope]

Gab I am so very grateful for these videos. My father and I used to play this together. Taking turns. He passed away two years ago and unfortunately I to will pass away. I have a terminal disease called ALS. So I cannot play games anymore. So the Slower chill way you play botw reminds me of how my father and I played. Again, thank you 🙂

[@lyianx]

16:36 - Thats exactly what it is. If you feel like you are doing ok on hearts and feel youd rather have more stamina instead, you can trade in your hearts for stamina and vice versa. I never found this guy on my first playthough so never used it. I just pushed to get 12 heart containers so i could get the master sword, then worked on stamina until it was full (stamina caps at 3 wheels, hearts at 2 full rows). There are not enough shrines to max out both of them however (very annoying). You will be short 2 upgrades whichever way you go if you get all shrines/divine beasts.

[@lovellmarine]

Hopefully you see this before you buy it but go back to the great plateau(the beginning area) and go to the old man's house for a present. Also there is a rock mini boss there and you can revisit every blood moon to farm gems
