Can you BEAT Breath of the Wild using ONLY Maze Gear??

The Zonai are quite the enigma in Breath of the Wild, but can we use ONLY the loot from their 3 labyrinths to clear these structures out and beat the game? ...All before the very first Blood Moon??

[@PolandSphere]

It is soul crushing to die to Dark Beast because it's so easy and it's right after the boss rush. Watching you die inside and then light up when the autosave loaded was great.

[@jayhoulihan8402]

I know right it made me so happy :)

[@ancestral_artemis]

When the chat was freaking out AAAAH THE BLOOD MOON that was the scariest part of the run and that dark beast death, this is perfect for the final challenge run for a while!

[@cuprmakr7871]

@Amazing.Amethyst I love how the blood moon just creeps onto screen 1 second after he leaves

[@dynawesome]

I can’t wait for more labyrinth-like structures in TOTK, I really hope there are some!

[@ravenr0cks]

I'm really excited to see how my favourite locations have changed. Definitely want to check the Giant Skeletons

[@thebeast7590]

@@ravenr0cks i stg if the giant skeletons ar gone ima be crying i dont want to fight what ever they are

[@nothingclever7582]

The second i get the game im sprinting to check out the arbiters grounds and the heroine.

[@ravenr0cks]

@@thebeast7590 omg you're right! If we have to fight them...😭😭😭

[@portiac6097]

The I get it I’m trying to get to mushroom town

[@dogmanthehero1117]

I really love the look of the Barbarian armor in BOTW, especially with the Lynel or Boko gear.

[@basedkid42]

Yeah, the lynel gear makes it look like you’re a lynel

[@AddictedToBloxFruits865]

I feel like zonai wariors would definetly harness lynel weapons

[@bingonight1504]

I wear my barb armor + Lynel mask when I want to go say hi to a Lynel and it looks so convincing

[@Draezeth]

Croton using up too many arrows, having no hope, then finding that ancient arrow in the grass has to be the most anime thing I have ever seen.

[@RobinL4715]

This was great to watch live. So many challenges and your patience for getting killed, and finding every item in a labyrinth is commendable. Can’t wait to watch you play TOTK when it comes out!

[@skyellama8374]

Yeah, there were so many clutch moments in this run

[@dbsm217]

this week has been tough for me, but this video just made me instantly smile. thanks for all you do, croton!

[@Croton]

Aw I'm glad to brighten your week with this!! Hope things get better, and thank you 😄

[@superlemmyguy3678]

Fun fact: you can tell if a blood moon is coming if there’s no stars in the night sky.

[@Telgruh]

600+ hours and i never noticed a lot of the tiny details including this

[@jaccuelinewittwer5638]

Imma use that

[@thereseopel8448]

WHAT!!! YOU DONT NEED HINO?!?!

[@dragonstar912]

Perfect encapsulation of this game: going wherever at the start with nothing but your pure gamer skill, using the game's physics/chemistry/AI engines to find creative solutions to intricate problems, and clutching a hard boss only to lose at Dark Beast.

[@jasonso2056]

Of all the places in BOTW's Hyrule, the Lomei Labyrinths were among the places I explored the least, as I only went there for the shrines and armor. So seeing all the treasure and enemies they had in store was pretty fascinating! Thanks for all the challenge runs and stat videos you made for Breath of the WIld, Croton! And see you soon for Tears of the Kingdom!

[@Ch1ps47]

I hope that when totk comes out, you'll keep doing challenge runs like this for that game. These videos have helped me through things, and I just wanted to show my appreciation.

[@adamreneau9213]

2 days! just 2 more days!

[@ahsokatanogaming7401]

​@Adam Reneau for people in the eastern hemisphere it is like 1 day away.

[@Ch1ps47]

​@@ahsokatanogaming7401 I guess I'm moving then

[@Dado_nastro]

​@@ahsokatanogaming7401 so tomorrow we have to make a lot of attention for spoilers?

[@bencundiff9405]

​@@Dado_nastro yea Nintendo for some reason releases their games in a weird way where areas like japan and Australia get the said game a day early. It can both be nice and a pain depending who you are ngl.

[@ansquirtle5187]

The excitement he expressed with the auto save during dark beast was amazing lol

[@Rex-ty1eq]

That DBG death made everyone’s souls die slightly but luckily the safe was out there.

[@Congele_]

The rollercoaster of emotions at the end was wild to experience; you truly learned something new with each run until the very end! ^^

[@randompowerup9305]

cant wait to see challenge runs like this for totk :) still feels like the end of an era

[@PotatoWithaNiceHat990]

In a sense it is the end of an era

[@randompowerup9305]

@@PotatoWithaNiceHat990 yeah, still a weird feeling

[@LuizMoratelli]

Awesome! A new one before jump to the new world. Can't wait to see videos like "can you BEAT TOTK using only [...]", like Amiibo Run, No Fuse Run, Only fuse with X stuff, No UltraHand, etc etc etc.

[@mylovelettertimemachine]

This was such a gripping finale to a fab series (and chefs kiss for the Moebius music from XC3, perfect!)

[@decayingstorm0127]

Last challenge run is one of the best. You gave the BOTW the end it deserved

[@doodledot_]

🎉 Heres to hours of gameplay, 250k+ subs, and 5 years of waiting for totk.

[@cravonomire9971]

This is the most unique challenge you've ever done I congratulate you

[@voidtectonic]

You could have used the flame sword as heat. If you have it equipped while in the cold, it will warm you up a bit. Same as if you hold a frost sword in the heat, it will cool you down. This works with any flame or frost weapons. I hope this will help people out for their challenges!

[@SSM24_]

Carrying a flame weapon only counts for 1 level of cold resistance (unlike holding a lit torch, which counts as 2), which isn't really useful here since there's not much to combine it with. I guess he could've made multiple level 1 elixirs instead of a single level 2 one, but I'm not sure if it would've had any longer total duration.

[@treetires]

Thanks Croton!! I've been excited for this for a while. I'm sad to see BOTW go, but I'm excited to see what tears of the kingdom has to offer

[@ilanaxinos1721]

My brother forced me to watch you one random day in March, and now I watch you every day. Keep doing your thing, it always cheers me up!

[@Turtwigsolos]

Next up can you beat tears of the kingdom but…..

[@PotatoWithaNiceHat990]

I just remembered totk comes out two day from now

[@stevenhumenny816]

With only Goron Stuff

[@romanfuchs1932]

Exited

[@dylanmcloughlin2187]

But without spoilers

[@faithrb01]

Right?! I was gonna leave a comment like, "Soooo, how long do you guys think it'll be until we start seeing Tears of the Kingdom challenge runs?" but you beat me to it. 😂

[@elisjohansson6165]

croton i love when you do this types of videos when your beating the game using only one type of gear. they are so good!

[@Rickby]

I’m about to cry, amazing series ended perfectly before TOTK. I still can’t believe it comes out tomorrow night

[@eren6400]

Hi croton i just wanted to say that u are the one that made me start playing zelda. I remember 5years ago me and friend watching ur videos ,also that was when I bought the game ,i was playing all day now I enjoy learning combat glitches and watching your videos, btw just preordered totk EDIT:sry for my bad grammar and English im from Europe

[@Olives24]

I’ve only started watching your stuff recently, but you’ve quickly become my favorite BOTW KZbinr. I can’t wait to see the videos you’re going to make about TOTK!

[@animalbio608]

I love watching every single one of your playthroughs! it always fascinates me how creative you get, and your calm narration really makes it so enjoyable to watch! Thank you Croton :)

[@corviner2047]

croton in all seriousness this series was wonderfull. they were great little movies to have on while i was playing the game myself, and I think you have a personality and demeaner made for content creation. Much love, and I'll def be sticking around for totk content!

[@kristinvaillancourt1613]

This was such a fun challenge run to watch live as there were so many great moments. You did a fantastic job editing and picking the very best of those moments, something that I’m sure wasn’t easy. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time even though I already knew what was going to happen. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for Tears of the Kingdom!! 🏰

[@EudaimoniaCat]

Really grateful for the videos you put up, i missed the livestream so it's nice to be able to still see. and nice editing as usual. can't wait for some TOTK content soon!

[@josiahrandecker5406]

I loved after we found out the blood moon was that night the music made it a race against the clock. A very epic moment, can't wait for TOTK

[@AllegedlyHuman]

Holy shit, this run was a-maze-ing! The entire gauntlet had me on the edge of my seat, and the whole run was so intense. Way to go, dude!

[@fjordojustice]

The editing on this video was fantastic as always, really appreciated the visuals when going through the mazes especially

[@BlueXf]

I have never seen croton so happy!

[@frankalvarez8654]

I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH PLEASE DO IT FOR TEARS OF THE KINGDOM ASWELL PLEASE ❤

[@rtyuik7]

35:30(ish) - "okay, he's back to Snow [Lizalfos un-camo's]...Nevermind [Lizalfos re-camo's]...Mind..." nice timing on that one...had to replay it a few times to get all the laughs out

[@Nintenbro..]

Hi croton! I am a HUGE fan of your work and I just wanted to say thank you for being a brilliant content creator for botw! I cannot wait to see what you do for ToTk and I look forward to the stream! Congrats for what you’ve accomplished! Keep up the great work 👍

[@AngelofGrace96]

I love how unique this one was for the last one!

[@leviferris-lz3mg]

TOTK on Friday so excited to watch you play I luv watching your videos so much

[@Cometstarlight]

Always love the dedication put into these, Croton. Thanks for constantly finding ways to mix up the game in a way that most viewers at home can participate in!

[@fjordojustice]

Can't you hold a flame sword on your back to cancel out cold? Or was it too cold in that region for that to work? Wondering if he could've avoided the torch shenanigans in the icy maze.

[@rootedcorgi7742]

I think it is too cold I know flameblade only does 1 level of cold resist and I think the labyrinth is level 2 cold

[@spikitrees]

Incredible video, it was very fun to watch. But when you were in north lomei I was always thinking "can't you equip the great flameblade for heat?" Because, that's what I thought. But I like the way you took took away divine beats and found ways to skip bow of light! All in all, really like the series!

[@Azuryche]

i love and appreciate the music tracking list in your description. you're a real one

[@AlecKnjazihhin]

I like how dark beast is so easy nobody knows that there's an autosave.

[@smileyface_500]

can't wait for totk content! have fun with the game croton!

[@kristenhunter6516]

I was really hoping for an elemental run but this is what we wanted croton

[@steven1946]

I was wondering when you were gonna do a run with only the Barbarian Armor. This is noice. I wanted this for a while.

[@emerybiesecker3952]

Bro really hit me with the ultimate plot twist with mandatory items are not allowed

[@LarvaHeroes]

The thumbnail looks cool! I can’t wait to watch!

[@bestcomms9536]

literally been waiting for this one

[@CapybaraGod53]

I don’t know why, but the hollow knight ost at the beginning hit harder than it should’ve (probably because I just finished it)

[@ajpedraza4796]

In the cold areas you could have kept the flameblade equipped it can also keep you warm.

[@Kris-hj4dc]

I´ve waited for the last challenge run and here it is! See you in the next game

[@TheAmazingFlint]

Really great idea choosing the zonai mazes for the last part of this series before totk!

[@ginger-ale7818]

Given how inside out he knows this game, it surprises me he doesn’t know that wearing a flame blade is STRONGER than holding a torch for cold resistance.

[@penguin_master_]

ikr

[@rhaaka1506]

If anything I feel like it speaks to the game's systems that someone like Croton can still miss things like that after all these years.

[@nemohimself2580]

​@@rhaaka1506 he made the stats of the wild series. I thought a lit torch was level 2 but a weapon was only level 1?

[@carnivorze1052]

​@@nemohimself2580Yeah. When it's too cold, a great flameblade isn't enought. And it's the case in most of Hebra

[@itsyaboychipsahoy.7989]

He doesn't know this because you're wrong

[@cbjcaps567]

long time lurker, croton thank you for every challenge and video for breath of the wild. i look forward to tears of the kingdom and how far everyone can take the next game. see you there!

[@TheLegendofCalista]

I can't wait for your TOTK content!! I super look forward to it! Great run 💜💚

[@Skyfar532]

just the hollow knight music in the begining got me exited for another great video i hope your tears of the kingdom vids will be just as good keep it up

[@claudiacypher5371]

i always get so excited when croton uploads there are very good. quality

[@megacharizardmewtwo1895]

I loved this series jadon! Im glad youve grown so much as a channel and i willl keep watching forever

[@pocarisweat_jp]

I'm confused, why were you stressing out about keeping the torch lit so much? Could you not have kept the great flameblade on your back to keep you warm the whole time passively? I think I saw some people mention it in chat too xP Great run though! I'm excited to see what content of yours comes of TotK's release!

[@anikanskywalkerskywalker]

Love the content man

[@CrowLady0_0]

the final one.... totk is so close im excited to see what kind of content can be made next :]

[@PseudonymX]

1 day 03 hours 41 minutes 50 seconds

[@anonanonymous9670]

I'm not sure TOTK content will be much different ngl Been playing TOTK for a week but I guess you could make it specific Fuses only runs?

[@Thisistheway0]

This was actually perfect timing, i was just waiting for an upload 😂

[@LyricsVideo4U]

Great stuff! 🔥🔥

26:34 Moblin: "crappy club? Oh I'll give you a crappy club" *ignites club with blue fire*

[@wplays4271]

I loved all these challenge runs. And can’t wait for the tears of the kingdom ones to start. But please, don’t rush yourself to start on runs. Just play the game casually, since you can only get that experience once. Meanwhile you can always do challenge runs. Please don’t waste your first playthrough by rushing to finish it asap. So you can start making new challenge runs. If anything, waiting a little bit allows more people to finish the game as well. And will probably improve viewership

[@imjustanartist3714]

I have Been thinking about this challege all week!😂

[@WhirlwindLord75]

I’ve always been waiting for a run with the barbarian armor 😊

[@justafella8896]

You must be so stoked for totk. I'm currently working through breath of the wild and then i'm gonna buy the new one. Can't wait to go through both and really appreciate the tips you give out. Helps give me a little edge and insight into what i can do and use!

[@random_adrian07]

I love that you put hollow knight music at the start of the video

[@darelfn]

Breath of the wild was an incredible game, your challenges were some of my favorite parts of it. Goodbye BOTW Hello TOTK

[@Evandodge17]

Yo that triple parry was sick!!

[@NurseJosh21]

What an awesome finale!

[@Josh-km7zy]

Bro he was so happy at the end it put me in tears

[@mattemonx4315]

What a way to end the challenge run series. Looking forward to totk content!

[@JustAFoolishMortal]

This is a-maze-ing, good job!

[@raphaelchan7574]

I didn’t know you start at dark beast if you die either! This game never runs out of secrets. Also for the cold area you could have weapon smuggled the torch, this allows you to hold weapons in animations normally forbidding you to do so

[@Aurora-313]

46:17 I have to agree with one of the stream commentors. What a scene. Dinraal and the Blood moon occupying half the sky each. That'd be such a cool wallpaper.

[@bruhlegend266]

I loved this idea! Love your videos always btw! This one might be one of my favourite and I can’t wait for tears of the kingdom! ❤

[@Coolio_Figs]

Nice I like it keep it up!!!

[@letmegamemom6308]

WHAT. AN. ENDING!!!!!!!! This was such a cool idea for a challenge, perfectly on theme for right before Tears. All well-deserved accolades to you for your creativity and perseverance!

[@Geo34]

I really love these types of videos. Can’t wait for tears of the kingdom but can you beat it only using…

[@Stormrunner1981]

Man, normally I just sit here excited, but I literally whooped when the save loaded where it did XD.

[@sincere9222]

The final run before a new chapter begins. Let's make it a good send off

[@MrMoonX]

Love The Video Ideas

[@greensteel1219]

that ending was probably the best way to say goodbye to BotW

[@bananaplane5494]

I asked for a shrine only run and he decided to do essentially just a harder version of one. Great job

[@_m4rbles]

Can’t wait for totk challenge runs (if there are zonai weapons I’d love to see that run)

[@anonanonymous9670]

There are several Zonai weapon only run wouldn't be too hard since Fuse can make them crazy strong

[@featuredsmile4755]

Hey Croton, one idea i have for a "I beat BOTW with only BLANK gear." Playing the Game as a Lynel You can only use Barbarian Armor and Leggings & Lynel Helm You can only use Lynel Weapons, Shields, and Bows You have to beat all Divine Beasts You have to kill All 22-23 Lynels on the Map (Depends on if Master Mode is on or not) You have to complete every Maze from the beginning with No help You can Only use Savage Lynel Weapons Three times for each Savage Item You have to collect All Lynel Weapon/Bow/Shields If you want to do this, I think it would be a good idea for a video

[@adamreneau9213]

I did a Lynel only run actually, it's only possible on Master Mode. There's some regular enemies in the game that carry Lynel weapons, but they're only on Master Mode platforms. There's around 4-5 Bokoblins/Lizalfos that carry Lynel bows and a single Lynel spear (thank goodness they respawn with the Blood Moon). You have to blow up the platforms with bombs and the Bokoblins that have the bows will fall and drown, but you have to shoot the Lizalfos that has the spear with the bow to kill it. And then you can take a level 3 attack buff to the Zora's domain Lynel, give it some headshots with the bows and arrows you've collected, jump on its back and hit it with the spear, do this enough times for its sword to kill it, and then you can repeat this for every Lynel you face, using the higher damage weapons you get each time.

[@styxwessel5930]

bro whipped out the phosphora fight soundtrack at the end there. I see you and I raise one to you 🍻

[@jaimizin7936]

as a massive maze runner and zelda fan this video is godsend

[@calscot]

This was a great theme to end botw on since totk has the zonai in the trailer alot.
