Bow of Light - Fast & Safe - Inventory Slot Transfer (IST) - Breath of the Wild

Want to use the new IST glitch to get a Bow of Light, but afraid of it messing up your file? Fear not, this guide will show you how to safely get the Bow of Light on any save file, any mode, without any negative side effects.
I worked with several players on the Breath of the Wild speedrunning discord to brainstorm this method, most extensively kinak, but also based on an idea by brkirch.

This is actually a lot easier to understand now :o I really thought I first have to deal with a save with only the BoL instead, I was relieved to realize all you had to do was have an empty bow slot for the hard save. Thank you again for the cool tutorial!

[@ElDuende05]

Appreciate it! I have one more installment planned which should cover inventory corruption and getting 80k arrows.

[@gregpl9363]

Damn it, for some reason my mahym Ava a shrine save (with the bow) has 2 light bows and some extra copies, but when I do the weapon smuggle (even tried with more slots) When I return to my og save, the bow isn’t there but I have like 4 slots of Koepka seeds, invisible champion slots etc but no bow, what can I do to either reset or fix it?

[@gregpl9363]

Exactly bro but i did it in master mode, so 1 save 1 auto save 😮‍💨. Funny thing is, you’ve heard about the “master” glitch right? The one you can only do in normal mode with the memory storage? Had that one first try. Bow of light and all. I think I botched my offset count, or made a mistake with when to be in menu overload and when not. Ah well guess I’ll have some fun with the auto save file and erase it afterwards 😓 thnks for the comment ✌️

[@gregpl9363]

I did it man! Turns out my hard save wasn’t corrupted after a reboot. Tried it again and noticed that at some point I didn’t rid myself of the gear I wore combined with the miscount in offset. Just finished couple of minutes ago and everything is in tact including the BoL. Also just noticed now that el duende did it in normal mode which makes switching to another auto save a lot easier. In master mode you got one shot 😅 ah well I’m glad it worked out! Good luck !

[@gregpl9363]

Thank you very much dude, just did it in master mode and worked like a gem. Finally enjoying my bow of light in master mode. Had it in normal mode already because of the previous memory storage glitch. Thanks again!

[@onelinkyboi4470]

For anyone confused on how to get the Bow of Light from Normal to Master Mode, prep a master mode file with an open slot for a bow, save the game, then return to normal mode and load the autosave where you did arrow-less offset. Perform the arrow-less offset glitch, follow all steps and when you load the primary save file, instead return to the title screen and load your master mode save. You will have the bow of light but champion abilities will be duplicated. To solve this, get an autosave and load the autosave, and everything should be back to normal!

Awesome video keep it up! :) gonna mess around with this bow now lol

[@fazeobito5707]

did you restart the game?

[@fastboi2390]

A few notes to those performing the glitch: When you get to this part, 13:25 with the "Make sure your bow is unequipped, then load your primary save", ONLY LOAD THE PRIMARY SAVE, DO NOT LOAD ANY OTHER AUTO SAVE! It is possible that when you check for your Bow of Light to make sure it's unequipped, it may have "disappeared" from your inventory. This happened to me. Despite this, do not panic, and load your primary save anyway! You still technically have it! You should be fine once the primary save loads, and you should have the Bow of Light. I'm not sure what causes it to disappear from the inventory, but I guess the game still knows you have it. On that note, Here's a little story about what happened to me with this issue: I got to that part exactly, and I went to "make sure my bow was unequipped" I scrolled over to the Bow section of the inventory, but it wasn't there. It had disappeared. I didn't know WHAT to think or what to do. I figured "Shoot I must've messed up the glitch when doing the weapons smuggle thing, better load the previous autosave just before I did the Arrowless Offset thing" Fortunately this didn't have any super bad gamebreaking/file corrupting consequences, but I found out I actually DID still have the Bow of Light, because when I loaded that previous Autosave, I now had TWO Bows of Light! Meaning I still actually had it, and it transferred over to this Autosave since it was the next save I loaded (instead of the Primary Hard Save). Fortunately/Unfortunately, all I had to do was perform Arrowless Offset and do the Weapon Smuggle thing over again, this time loading the correct save. I am happy to report that I now have the Bow of Light, and have started a Crusade to kill every enemy in Hyrule without letting the Blood Moon pass, for which the Bow of Light will be most helpful. This is an AMAZING tutorial. Perfectly crafted and edited, super helpful and clear. Thank you.

[@jakehoyt8171]

What happens if something goes wrong? Like maybe near the end? Do I quit the game to stop the IST glitch, or just reload my hard save? Is there a way for me not to mess up my official game?

[@fastboi2390]

@@jakehoyt8171 That depends on what exactly went wrong. Usually I'd say just reload the last autosave, like I accidentally did. But it depends on the thing that "went wrong"

This is one of those “just trust the process” tutorials… eventually I got it. I can’t thank you enough!! Stayed up because I accumulated too many auto saves to want to resell all my stuff again. Accidentally made to many offset slots at the end and had no inventory when I went to drop my items. I was able to pick up what I had dropped, only three items and inventory came back. Dropped the items and continued with the process. Ended up bringing the 2 weapons and shield I had put on the wall back with, effectively but inadvertently duplicating the weapons. Can’t wait to master this😎👍

Just did this today! Such an amazing glitch and even better information and instructions! Also as a side bar for anyone doing this, after you get the BOL on your main file you can display it in your house, run away across the bridge, and come back to you house to pick it up and as long as you have an available bow slot you’ll get another one :) free dupe essentially 😊

@HandlesIThoughtOfWereAllTaken That's exactly how I felt. Didn't want to risk it after all the progress I've made through the months and, eventually, years. I believe it's totally worth it. If it doesn't feel right to you, don't risk it. There's a point in the video where you save it at link's house. If anything, after that, you don't like just stop and revert back to that save and you'll have all your progress still. Best of luck in Whichever decision you land on.

[@samidobrikot1421]

This guide was really helpful, thank you for it. As an european PC enjoyer i want to say for those, who uses cemu like me that this glitch IS working on cemu, you just need more times 3/5 bows for inventory overload. Also if you have an fps+ graphic pack, than arrowless offset would be easier with lower fps, for you to hit thos treaky timings.

However, just to report, when I loaded the autosave outside the Sanctum, neither my arrow stacks nor my Champion Abilities were duplicated (the Master Sword, the Spirit Orbs and the Korok seeds were). It took me a good amount of tries for the Arrowless Offset, but everything else worked like a charm!!! Thanks!

I followed all the steps and was originally scared because the bow didn’t show in “bows and arrows”, I had to slide to the right of “key items” and it was there. Was still able to equip it and mount it. PHEW thanks man A LOT. After I took it from the mount it returned to the normal bow inventory.

[@_egg5698]

Things I recommend as doing this glitch: - Don't be afraid to rewatch the video for extra steps. Watch what he does carefully. - Grab a pen and paper. Count the amount of times you've done offset and for the caluclation, procede carefully. - It's very easy to get stressed about this glitch since it seems scary, but just remain calm and focus. - REMEMBER X IS NOT HOW YOU ADD ITEMS TO YOUR ITEM STACK. It costed me SO much time. X is to START holding, A is to ADD to holding. - If you're unsure, relaunch the game and be safe. Ultimately, it takes just around and hour or so to do, so if you reload it's not catastrophic. The thing that takes the most time is offset generation.

[@HazbinHotelStaff]

I can't understand how Offeset generating works. I've watched this many times and I can't understand. Must be my ADHD 😆

[@endernotchstaff2306]

Does the offset have to be 64

[@HazbinHotelStaff]

@@endernotchstaff2306 no. That was just his number. Whatever key items you have (more or less) you count those and include the key items that can be duplicated by 2. Any arrow slots and unsellable armor and stuff by two. That will be your number of offsets you'd have to create.

Confirmed working still as of March 2023. In total it took me about an hour and a half, hardest part was getting used to the final inputs for Arrowless Offset generation when speaking with the vendor. I think it was about fifteen attempts to get the dpad down + a input correct. The inputs must be performed very fast, almost simultaneously but not quite. Noteworthy Tip: You can teleport to Hyrule Castle and back without any issues. No need to run or glitch that part, it is completely safe.

[@Toasty3563]

lmao it'll always be working, they're not patching the game anymore. and yea the inputs for arrowless offset are difficult

[@djlangouste561]

How do you get it to a new save on master mode tho ?

[@ilmiocaneeuntostapane4606]

does it work in master mode?

[@valera_animation]

I tried it today and unfortunately stopped at the offset generation part cuz that was very long.

I had some trouble initially and got a bit frustrated, but after checking a tutorial for inventory overload it was all good :)

[@WolfAidenS]

Thank you man I thought I messed up a couple times but I didn’t your the best now I have my bow if light, I’m glad you made this and it still works to this day

[@ElDuende05]

Glad I could help

[@JesseDalba]

Okay guys I spent about 4 hours on this here is some tips. You can go from a regular mode to master mode. You have to load a master mode file, load back into the dup save, then load back into master mode and the bow of light will be there. I had issues with the Nuking inventory step. I corrected this by overshooting my overset. So if you have 30 do 40.

[@Shadiss]

Lesson for others: It’s okay to keep the bow of light equipped when nuking your inventory. I thought I screwed up when I forgot to dequip the bow of light when dropping everything. My inventory cleared but I still had the bow of light equipped and couldn’t remove it. It spooked me and I fumbled everything. My buffer wasn’t big enough to save me and I had to reset. That was the one part that the words alone weren’t enough to follow it by, but I did load the autosave that was made and I no longer had the bow equipped. So it worked out.

[@dexei3150]

This is confusing, is it okay or not okay to have it wquipped when you close and reopen the game? Originally you say its okay but later you said you fumbled it.

[@cjendantix]

@@dexei3150 He's saying don't do it but if you do on accident you can recover pretty easily

[@kyofukaze7662]

Based on what you said, would it work then to equip other items you want when nuking your inventory?

[@Niggasaurus7425]

⚠Help pls, when I get to that part, after triggering an auto save , closing and reloading the game to clear all my inventory, I still get a bow of light, all my duplicated arrows and my duplicated Zora armor set in my inventory. It’s my 4th time getting that result after following correctly all the steps in this video (I play in master mode).

[@valera_animation]

So how do you fix it?

[@Lancegold]

Excellent tutorial, I repeated the arrowless offset part more times than necessary because i thought that I was doing something wrong when i saw duped champion abilities. It was just a matter of restart the game and load the autosave

[@superprobablyuser]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, its really easy to pull off and you explained everything clearly. I managed to do this in only 1 attempt and now I have the bow in master mode :)

[@ElDuende05]

Congrats! Next you should experiment with HPE and WMC.

[@ikottgicki6038]

@@ElDuende05 Hey, Is it possible to do this if you only use master mode?

[@keepyoureyeswide]

Hi Sir, IF my goal is to just get the 220 attack 10 shot (linear & spread) Bow of Lights, it looks like I can do this: 1. Start with the save file on 9:45 2. Go out farming dragon horns and other required materials 3. Cook 59 apples, then cook the target recipe 4. Perform WMC 5. Finally, transfer the corrupted BoL back to the main progress save. Do you see any issue with this approach? Thank you very much for this awesome tutorial, I was able to get the Bow of Light, but I'm having some trouble following your WMC tutorial (the one that starts with getting 999 korok seeds).

[@jknotrowling6654]

Thank you so much. I had troubles with getting the items to my hip while doing the arrowless offset so the whole process took me about 3 hours lol. But I made it. Thx.

[@ElDuende05]

That part is tough for some. Glad you stuck with it!

[@BCreeper]

It took me so long to do the first offset with the bows, but this was totally worth it. After 6 years and 775 hours of play time I have the Bow of Light. You are a legend dude, The Legend Of El Duende Guapeton.

i’m getting the issue when i warp to hyrule castle to fight the bosses, all of my equipment is gone, like all of my armor, weapons, even key items. any idea why this is happening? Also, sometimes when i hold the item to throw it back down, it says that i can’t hold it here. if this happens, will it still work?

[@ZanderMurphy-ol7ub]

I know this is like a year old comment so, sorry lol. But I’m having the same problem did you find a fix?

Just got it on a fresh master mode file, it feels so good to start the game with such an amazing weapon! It's been so long! The wait! Bow of light, I finally got you! 🥳

How did you get in on the master mode file? Do you have to start a new game?

[@GKMedoh]

It worked on my first try, thank you so much it's very well explained!

[@lukasloen4659]

so I'm getting stuck on the boss rush so that's fun, but I may have just discovered something, dying in the boss rush obviously loads my quick save duping stuff again, but when my far left stack of shock arrows hit 0 and I died again all the shock arrow slots disappeared, not even a 0 stack anymore. edit: started over because to much duped armor and the same effect did not happen, idk how to reproduce it.

[@PiizzaTime]

This video is quite epic, I didn’t even want the bow of light for the damage or looks, I just wanted an unbreakable bow for general use lol Edit: I also have a quick question, if I do the final boss again, will getting the bow of light from the dark beast fight mess up anything?

[@aarushi2740]

tried the fight with the bow of light, nothing happened, although iirc there was some weird duplicating of the bow but it was fixed after the battle

[@julian-ti9gh]

Nope, it cant mess up anything because if your done with the ganon fight your autosave infront of the room before ganon will be loaded. While the fight you should have like 3 bows of light but that will be fixed after the fight as i already said.

[@CJmakesspedmemes]

[@Jason9637]

Do the final transfer step, but instead of loading the normal target save, switch to master mode and load that save

[@Pomskee]

Im so mad. I tried for so freaking long and i FINALLY got the bow of light into my mastermode file. BUT THEN i go pick up a stick, the bow in the woods on the great platue, and some comsumables to see my bow of light and master sword. THEN i go pick up a rock to get a korok autosave. i get the auto save so i close the game and re open it. i load that auto save AND ITS ALL GONE. There was nothing in my inventore and i have no clue what went wrong. please help ive been trying for hours and hours.

[@ElDuende05]

You still have negative mCount, probably you forgot to close and reload during one of the later steps (before generating arrowless offset) in order to reset the IST glitch. If you can reload your hard save and try again.
