How to solve the Strong Current puzzle in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

[@GameAW1]

There's another way. If you use the Spark echo and bond to it, you can let it carry you along the wall and up the current

[@Hyrule-Postman]

exactly what i did 🤜🤛

[@liamlane1165]

THANK YOU, I tried the way shown in the video and it wasn't working

[@Gerenocidiac]

Yeah, the spark echo following the wall, then R1 to it and Zelda will follow it all around.

[@liamlane1165]

@@Gerenocidiac I think because we rarely use these monsters we forget what they can do. Have to admit that whilst I love the game and the idea behind it there's waaaay too many echoes. They should give us a handful of them and give us more of a reason to use them.

[@johnnyroche138]

That’s what I did

[@katherinecheng9360]

Oh, i used the moving platform there. The yellow one..

[@nicktav4]

yep same, it pushes straight up through the current, ez

[@jasonshapiro6420]

Yep me too

[@AhmadZakwan-fd3xc]

Same

[@jcrooms]

Same here

[@neurosurgeonpark]

Me too

[@marinaa9557]

You can also use the I believe it’s piranha that swims straight up! Sharks go fairly side to side

[@danielle_z]

You can actually just use the platboom echo and ride it up like an elevator.

[@katherinecheng9360]

Though his solution is good if you dont have the platboom…

[@AhmadZakwan-fd3xc]

Yup, exactly what i did

[@blackstar5867]

I used an echo. The yellow platform guy that try to crush you. It it always rises and if your on top of it then it will take you with it Also for the sidesways version of this puzzel. Theres 2 echos I foumd that work. You can reverse bind yourself to a shark echo or a flying tile echo Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but theres always another way Using your method there other things that float such as a bed for example

[@KisukeHollow]

i used the shark method every time since the yellow platform were my last echo to get (forgot to try to kill it when first saw) and it was sooo annoying having to depend on the shark moving there by himself T.T

[@Gerardhutt]

I used the same platform

[@blackstar5867]

@@KisukeHollow Thats unlucky :'(

[@brianlafaver8334]

I think I just summoned 2 beds and stood on top them and grabbed the chest and pulled it down

[@cringekiddo]

that's the exact same thing i did

[@voidgaming6037]

TY FOR THIS, WAS LITTERALY STUCK ON THIS FOR HOURS!

[@traviscooper2205]

I used a fast swimmer smoothie and Zora's flipper. Spam the button.

[@extrashifty578]

I just use platboom for up current and floating tile for sideways current

[@AhmadZakwan-fd3xc]

Yup, exactly what I did

[@baileyforbes7836]

I can't wait to see how people completed the ice temple where there are those 2 geysers pointed to the side. That one stumped me for a couple of minutes, and I'm pretty sure I did it the "wrong" way

[@BLAINES]

ye i used beds and yoloed it

[@RondoOfBloodX]

That’s the beauty of this game. There is no “wrong way” to do things.

[@Tranceporter33]

I put 2 teddy bears on the crates and then used a Ghost to pull me towards the teddy bears...but it took TOO long to get it to work.

[@dtell3424]

How did you shoot the box at a distance?

[@BLAINES]

U get that ability pretty early on

[@upsidedownfaceboy423]

I just use the flying tile and bind to it. Simple

[@PeterMasalski93]

This makes no sense with The buoyant force. A bed pushing upwards exerts more force than the weight of a person + downward jets + water displaced downward? That's why I never thought of this..

[@XenoWars]

On the flip side, a human can pick up a boulder with relative ease? That doesnt make sense either.

[@PeterMasalski93]

@@XenoWars yeah, but you can clearly see a magic beam, so you can make an exception. How can I know which laws of physics are broken and which are not?

[@XenoWars]

@@PeterMasalski93 In that case, you can clearly see a magic beam, so this is also an exception.

[@PeterMasalski93]

@@XenoWars The beam affects the object, not the environment. If a magic beam hits a crate, I assume that the crate is magical, not the rest of the environment. I can accept the crate making no sense when it comes to real physics, but the rest of the world has to, since Zelda still follows basic presets such as gravity. Most games follow 90% of earth's physics, just to bend them in magical cases, how am I supposed to know which ones? Beams, magical spheres and lights help, but otherwise that's not something I can know otherwise. The magic beam affects the bed, not the buoyancy force of water. The same way when I create a cloud, I don't affect the overall convection of winds and fear them blowing away.

[@jamesyates4932]

Your telling me I did all that for 3 jars of floral nectar… I thought u didn’t show us cos it actually was a strong item 😂 Blaine’s u sneaky trickster

[@BLAINES]

lol

[@bigmattpark]

man is a genius

[@mrbubbles6468]

Is there not enough space to go over the lefges and walls at the top of the puzzle? There looks like there should be?

[@wdavis911]

No

[@jameson891]

You deserve this like 👍

[@Savanucu]

you have a problem with lying. "strongest item in the game?" it's literally 3 jars of honey. there's exaggerating and then there's straight up lying.

[@BLAINES]

it's called a JOOOKEEEEEE

[@johnnybravo7490]

I got stuck on that for a while and I figured this out but people were saying to use platboom echo but I didn’t have that

[@kprefleuril8881]

Bind to a pirianha and it takes you up. solved it that way.

[@VortexFlims]

Ok but what about in the rift on the wet lands

[@S.tebban]

Zelda kept targeting the chest instead of the box. It took numerous tries but it worked in the end. Am I really the only person having issues with Zelda targeting the wrong stuff?

[@wdavis911]

She does it all the time, one of the most annoying things in this game

[@NinSonyFan]

😂😂😂 seriously no one used the stomp echo? Don't remember the name, is a yellow platform with an eye that floats and smashes down like the Mario's thwomps.

[@Sk8erPhatCat13]

I used the Yellow platform that goes down when you stand close to it, then raises up in a few seconds. Did people really get stuck here,

[@AhmadZakwan-fd3xc]

Same

[@OffGridHarvey]

How do you aim the box and shoot it out like that i cant get it to go that far! And cant find anything online saying how to do it

[@BLAINES]

It is a mechanic you get early on in the game . U cant miss it. U get tutorial. Badically, aim with buttons and hold the spawn button for a sec and release

[@OffGridHarvey]

@@BLAINES ok thanks must be i just havent unlocked that mechanic yet.

[@dibblackbird]

There's ANOTHER way that you can do with ZERO echos You can literally twirl up the water Drink a swim speed smoothie Equip swim speed trinket Spam twirl up the current and you will move fast enough to fight the current

[@dangerfindertreasureseeker8905]

All that for some floral nectar. 😂😂😂 wow.

[@GeorgeNewman795]

I solved this using the Platboom.

[@zoiddmassacre914]

That is not true, if have the zora scale and flippers you can swimm up that stream. Use your spinn move to get faster.

[@BLAINES]

say wat.

[@johnnydewaele731]

Wooden box float and follow

[@TheRealMrMic]

Thanks I was stuck

[@ghb323]

Bind beats currents.

[@lancerzx]

The only way to solve that? I can show you another one more efficient

[@joshuasoule4886]

Boom platform also works

[@jcrooms]

I just used a plat boom

[@cabbaged]

Did it with a fish it swam up think it was the piranha

[@DMCBDA]

I just put a bed at the bottom and then bound to the chest XD

[@BLAINES]

lol nice one

[@dean7528]

I like how you did it but it definitely wasn’t the only way to do it 🙄

[@d.sack2727]

I don't remember if I forgot the first one, but I do remember he 2nd one

[@Capybara_Vidzzz]

Use platboom

[@wdavis911]

Only way to solve it huh?

[@LuckyOwI777]

It's not a puzzle you can easily figure out" ....umm...there are a handful of ways to solve this puzzle easier than what you showed...not trying to be mean, but the whole point of this game is that there's multiple different solutions to a problem. Usually a wide variety.

[@jimmyandroid24]

This whole game is finding ways to cheese through it

[@axlefoley6330]

Is it cheesing if it is developer intended like I suspect this is?

[@Ghoxxsty]

Glad you're branching out. Watching the numbers go down with the giveaways was disheartening.

[@BLAINES]

ah man its normal and to be expected. Been a looong time since a new pokemon game now. But it will be booming again with a new game

[@Ghoxxsty]

@@BLAINES looking forward to the Z-A content

[@mikegyver1967]

The problem of the game, that is useless trying to catch the chest, because there is bullshit in there. All the game is like that, chest is always full of coins, but you dont care.

[@skyviolet]

You talk too much, yet you still never answered the simple question that everybody and their mother want's to know... How do you "aim" an echo??? After hitting every button the echo still just launched next to me....

[@BLAINES]

U unlock the skill very early in the game. I DID answer this q yeaterday or 2 days ago. The game literally tutorials you through it

[@dobkayaker]

Hey, after scouring Google since the uploader chose not to answer your question, apparently you don't obtain this power until you hit level 3 of Tri's power. You increase his power by finishing dungeons and closing rifts in the area after you finish the dungeon. I got this from an article called "How to Summon More Echoes In Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom" on Game Rant. Won't link for fear of the spam filter. Good luck.

[@dobkayaker]

Here's a solution I've found that doesn't require the ability to summon echoes at range: 1. Summon a boulder. 2. Summon a box and place it where you'll want it to be when you bind to it. 3. Place the boulder on top of the box so that it sinks to where you want it. 4. This is the hard part. Position yourself where you'll want to bind to the box, i.e. on the right hand side of the pool. Summon anything that will use enough of tri's power to cause the boulder to disappear. For example, if you have four triangles, the box and boulder have each used one. So summon something that takes three. Since the total will now be 5, the least recently created thing will disappear, i.e. the boulder. The box will then start to float up. This happens very quickly so you'll have to make sure to choose the final item and position for it to summon such that it won't be in your way. I used a Holmill since they're small and just vanish reasonably quickly under water so they're not in the way. 5. Bind to the box. You'll have to do this immediately after step four. 6. Press R (top right trigger) to allow the box to haul you up. You'll have to make sure not to press ZR (the larger bottom right trigger) or you'll have to start the whole process over.

[@YourFriendTnt]

The game tells you how why wouldnt need someone on youtube to tell you if you paid attention

Thats not helpful at all. Show us how to get past the double
