Hyrule Science #6: How Does The Final Sage work? (and More Zonai Device facts!)

[@lifedaiiry]

Ugh, looking at this made me realize how I hate how slow Mineru is... It wouldn't even be game breaking to make her 1 m faster than Links running speed!

[@burnin8able]

seriously! I really feel like 90% of the time I'm better off fighting on foot than I am using the GIANT CUSTOMIZABLE MECHA ROBOT which is a big let down. I feel like since the back attach point can stretch out like it does with only the balloon for some reason, you should be able to use back mounted emitters and cannons like shoulder-mounted projectile weapons. that alone would hugely improve her combat utility.

[@khatharrmalkavian3306]

As far as I can the only advantage to riding is that she can walk over gloom for cheap. You can't even somersault off her for bullet time like you could with a horse or control stick.

[@Shid_idk]

She can walk on lava, at least.

[@Dooty-Doot]

Kinda unrelated but a fact about Mineru is that you can't start her quest without both the paraglider & 10+ hearts, there's unique text if you try to interact with Mineru's head beforehand.

[@Flapjack3734]

why is the paraglider necessary? I get that 10 hearts opens the door which is probably required to start her quest but you can use zonai devices to get up to Dragonhead isle right?

@@orngjce223 do you have any idea if it’s specifically the paraglider or is it starting the regional phenomena quest that lifts this requirement? Since the two events are technically separate (You can get the paraglider but not start the regional phenomena quest by just teleporting/walking away). My guess is its the regional phenomena questline that allows it to become accessible Also I realized this after posting my comment but you dont even need the 10 hearts to open the door if you can build a device that’ll let you ascend to the room Mineru is in.

I think the stake limit might be based of weight/ stress, I've had stakes break on me when fused to that very big stone cube near the wind temple

[@l9day]

maybe they have the duration in terms of frames. For example, 2000 frames, at 30 frames per second, would have it last 66.66 repeating seconds, or just under 1 minute and 7 seconds

[@fable23]

Stakes definitely have a limit, I've had multiple disappear on me, but for the sake of clarity (and SCIENCE), I'll share as much as I can about the circumstances. I was doing experiments to create an all terrain vehicle with multiple "forms." Each form would use autobuild to rearrange the same parts for various purposes. Some of those forms involved using stakes to secure it to the ground, or a wall. At some point, when I attempted to use a stake, it would evaporate. It would do this as soon as I let go of it while it was embedded in a surface. Originally, I assumed there was some kind of hidden counter that incremented each time you stuck it in a surface and let go. However, I just pulled out my Switch and attempted to test this, and I got up to 80 embeds before giving up, as I am positive I never used any of the stakes on my vehicle that many times. I wondered what the deciding factor might be, and then it hit me; practically every other Zonai device is limited based on _time._ So my current theory is that, like most other zonai devices, stakes have a 30 minute lifespan. I believe this lifespan begins the first time you embed it into something, and then counts down continually regardless of whether or not it remains embedded. When the timer runs out, rather than disappearing right away, the stake will vanish the next time you attempt to embed it. I will attempt to test this hypothesis, and let you know of my findings. EDIT 1: The stake survived well past the 30 minute mark. It's possible there is a longer timer, but I have also thought of one other possibility. My all terrain vehicles had a _lot_ of parts to them. Might there be a sort of durability system with the stake, where it has a lifespan that is reduced based on how much "weight" it is used to secure? Maybe. It makes about as much sense as anything else imo. I'll test this out later and let you know how it goes.

[@noidea5597]

Yeah its the stress that is the limit. I tried attaching the super heavy bridge piece to a stake on a wall and it broke immediatly

Batteries not having any effect seems like a huge missed opportunity. Would have been extremely useful for helping reduce battery usage, especailly if you don't have a lot of energy cell upgrades

[@weirdtyrant6274]

Excellent video! My only complaint is that you never mentioned how precisely upgrading Mineru with 4 Sage’s Wills changes her base damage. Also, how exactly do normal weapons affect Mineru’s damage (e.g. is it identical to Link’s fuse or does it differ in a significant way?).

[@NovaBlue242]

This info was datamined. Mineru's arms are 2-handed weapons (so they get the x 1.05 motion value multiplier). They have 27 base damage, and each upgrade increases it by 13. So 40 damage with either a Sage's Will upgrade or the Zonai Helm, and 53 with both. The Zonai Helm is Mineru's equivalent to the Divine Beast Helms and their silly mask + damage boost for the other sages. So if you upgrade Mineru, wear the Zonai Helm, and fuse a Silver Lynel Saber Horn (55 damage) to her hand, she should be dealing 114 damage per hit.

[@SBlurgo]

@@NovaBlue242Wait so you’re telling me the other Sages have increased damage when you wear their respective Divine Beast Helms??

[@XenobladeNerd]

@@SBlurgoyep, if you wear the matching divine beast helm the corresponding sage ghost dons the weird zonai mask that matches the ancestor, and they get improved abilities

[@Artherbit]

When you take an active fan out of water, you can see the battery meter "pulsate" showing you that it's using more battery now Also, balloons give Mineru's attacks the bouncy effect i'm pretty sure, same with wheels. Also also, Mineru's attacks normally knockback/ragdoll enemies, just springs affect how much they get launched by the attack

[@jayofspades_]

Thank you for the info! I really wish Mineru was more useful outside of mining. The concept of a personal mech is so cool, but I wish they expanded on the idea more.

[@SSM24_]

I think she'd be a lot more useful if fused materials did 2x or maybe even 3x damage on Mineru's attacks. That might sound OP at first, but keep in mind that 1) she attacks really slowly, and knocks enemies away which makes it even harder to follow up with more attacks; and 2) she's a lategame thing, she's allowed to be strong :D

[@Snacker6]

I commented this on another video, but I would love for you to look into how enemy damage is calculated. It BotW, it was the damage of the weapon + a static damage bonus for the enemy type - your armor rating = the number of quarter hearts of damage that you take, with a minimum of 1. It seems like it is different in TotK. I've seem players taking far more damage than I thought they would. It might be that there is a bonus of back attacks, and that was why, but I would love to see someone do a deep dive on it

One odd zonai fuse effect: A big wheel on a weapon makes a larger-than-normal shockwave when slammed on the ground (jump or charge attack end).

1 minute 7 seconds probably comes from values based on internal ticks, not seconds. Assuming that TotK runs at 30tps like a lot of other games (I can't find any info about this online), setting devices to last exactly 2000 ticks would translate to 1 minute 6.6666 seconds.

[@3X3NTR1K]

What always worked for me to safely freefall was putting the steering stick onto a piece of sky island (the Ruins Rubble) and saving that to autobuild. The piece stays level and falls somewhat slowly, with the wind never being an issue at all. Other kinds of rocks may technically work too, but they don't also put shiny auras around you.

[@3X3NTR1K]

Oh I should add: If I'm riding it down a chasm and it clips the wall, it bounces to the side while staying completely level. Just won't tumble at all.

[@charcoal_phoenix3552]

Your patience must be immeasurable to do all of this. Awesome work!

[@loveboatcaptain]

If you fuse a muddle bud to the master sword, when you shoot the beams they will give the effect to enemies (gotta love the stardew valley music in the bg ❤)

[@Jtretta]

The minute and seven seconds thing definitely feels like a division followed by rounding up to me, as rounding up 66.66... seconds gives you 67 seconds or 1 minute 7 seconds. Also, I find Mineru's limbs wiggling about as she is falling rather amusing.

[@SteveOdinson]

Would you cover the durability on bows, shields and weapons aswell (if you have not already)? What would be the best material to fuse the Master Sword with to last longer? I have heard there is a bug on it so it will have always 40 durability - fused or not. Which would explain the sparkle in the menue screen on the Master Sword after recharge not comming back... (Sorry for my bad english)

[@MiahTRT]

I might consider covering this topic. Many others have already so I feel as though there's no point to it, but again, I MIGHT cover it at some point.

[@JReds-bw9kg]

For Mineru weapons/shield/bow fusions. It's the base durability of a weapon

[@mhx5071]

Master Sword always has 40 durability except after you fuse something to it for the first time in which case it will have 65 durability

[@Shid_idk]

The best material for the master sword is either the silver lynel saber horn or with a bone build a molduga jaw or for an elemental effect gleeok horns, or if you want to get healed, light dragon parts. Also, most weapons get + 25 durability, other + 10, the Gerudo weapons +3, and I don’t remember more of them. The Master Sword gets +25 the first time you fuse it, when you break it and it gets recharged, its material isn’t there but the durability increase is here still, even tho it should reset to its normal durability and get enhanced when you fuse something to it like it’s supposed to. In short : the durability before fusing = 40 after fusing = 65 after recharge = 40/65 after recharge and fusing something = 40/65. Hope that helps.

[@JRI22N]

I’m not sure many people know this about the windcleaver but it works with muddle buds as long as you don’t hit a enemy with it

[@ryuken10]

How does Mineru's damage increase when you put on the Zonai set + use Sage Wills? Also curious if fusing materials to her increases her damage the same way as regular fusion to weapons and if she does more damage with Bone Proficiency.

[@matt7399]

What durability do normal weapons and fusible materials have when used with Mineru? Do the weapons keep their normal durability and do the materials last 10 or 25 hits? Also were you measuring Mineru's 40 damage per hit with or without her Solemn Vow? Supposedly the Sage's Will's make the Sages do extra damage so I was wondering if that was the case here.

[@plaguelord22]

I think it would’ve been cool if sleds and carts on Mineru’s back let Mineru do something akin to a shield surf, either falling on her back or bring it underneath herself Also I think it would’ve been cool if Mineru actually used weapons properly, rather than just doing the standard whack, like shooting arrows or stabbing with a spear

[@MarolandiaopolisTheThird]

can you go over the durability and effects of other things attached to mineru? do all boulders and other objects have the same durability and add the same damage, or is it dofferent per weapon? Additionally, do fused weapons use their whole durability when attached to her? Ive been using gloom weapons as my main fuse for mineru in combat.

[@michelzwiers7742]

random fact, if you attack an NPC with a weapon that has an Ancient Blade attached, the Ancient Blade will disappear, but will not take any durability points from the weapon you had fused it to

Does the shock emitter do anything when used on the Zora? Also, my guess for why so many items last 1 minute 7 seconds is that they actually last for 66.666666 seconds, basically as if they used up 1.5% of some health bar per second

The math for the fan thing at the beginning, around 3:00, appears to be approximately correct. Someone else may have already pointed it out, but I didn’t see it.

[@SkyeWint]

To my understanding, you aren't booted off of steering sticks due to a time limit, but a velocity limit along the vertical axis. This was an issue during the development of the railjet (look up those videos, your long distance flight will be revolutionized compared to hover bikes). Some railjet iterations were so fast during dives that Link would get booted off. Incidentally, I would love a Hyrule Science episode on mechanics of objects specific to shrines, such as the propeller and electric engine or the yellow floaty objects. Maybe the elevator rail object or the U block, both obtainable in the construct factory (the right leg depot, I believe). Thanks for all of your efforts!

[@SithLord-6]

I've seen on another comment that you are going to test damage pre/post sage's will for Mineru, and I thought I would mention that I'm pretty sure she can only break zonaite ore post sage's will. I have not upgraded her yet and have not been able to break it without fusing something to an arm first. I am not sure if this is related to the arms damage or not, but thought I would mention it.

In my current save I use for testing, I haven’t spent any Sage’s Wills. I will have to test with it at some point!

[@SithLord-6]

Hello again, don"t know if you will see this or not, but upon taking a second look, you actually can break zonaite ore without sages will or a fusion. idk why I thought that, I swear I remember clearly not being able too, but when I actually got back into the game and tested it, I can. Side note though, I was not able to break the larger ore that you normally find around mines.

This series is great 👍👍 Idk where else to go with this information so you can have it: I found out that the 'Iron Lump's near Ankel Island have a durability of 28. I found this out by fusing it to a royal claymore with durability up and counting how many Zonite deposits I could break before it broke.

[@cthulhu_enthusiast729]

Details if interested: Royal Claymore [20] (no buffs) + Iron Lump = 48 Zonite deposits before breaking, therefore Lump = +28. Royal Claymore[20] + Durability + Iron Lump[28] = 54, therefore Durability = +6. Then for funsies- Royal Claymore[20] + Durability[6] + Silver Lynel Mace = 53, therefore Silver Mace = +27.

[@VodkaVodoka]

Mineru feels really underwhelming. I definitely get the feeling that devs were worried about making her too strong... which in turn resulted in them completely undertuning her, especially since there's so many ways that you can be strong without her. Why ride a clumsy, slow-moving mech when you can just run around and bash enemies with whole bunch of cool weapons yourself? Or ride on a much better mech that you made yourself?

[@hobbified]

It seems like all of the numbers related to battery usage modifiers, fan stacking, etc. are actually √2. "30% decrease" in usage = 1/√2 ≈ 70.7%. Going the other way, √2 ≈ 1.4x duration, √2 ∙ √2 squared = 2x, and √2 cubed = 2√2 ≈ 2.8x.

[@Jin-vm8sh]

As a small correction/addition regarding her damage output, Mineru does 27 base damage (aka 27 damage per hit with nothing fused to her arms) and both the Sage's Will upgrade and the Zonaite Helm increase that base damage by +13 each for a total of 53 damage. Her hands also count as 2-handed weapons, meaning objects fused to them have their damage increased by x1/0.95 rounded down, so a Silver Lynel Saber Horn will do 57 damage instead of 55. Thus, her max damage is 110 per hit. If you want even more damage though, attaching an ice material like a Frost Emitter or Frost Gleeok Horn to her other hand can let you constantly freeze and shatter enemies for x3 damage, meaning you can do up to 330 damage.

[@Wisco464]

Attaching Mineru’s mask (the one you fly down from Dragonhead Isle) extends wing lifespan by 45 seconds. Autobuild copies work.

[@thx4chrckingin]

My hot take: Mineru is a failure as a character and is a hindrance to TOTK. Her contributions could easily be supplemented by Rauru or Sonia, or a legacy character from BOTW. For example, instead of Mineru being the one to talk about Draconification and research, have Rauru or Sonia be the ones who value research and knowledge, which gives Zelda vindication for wanting to research sheikah tech in the first game. And instead of Mineru being the sage of spirit, have one of the legacy characters be the new sage. Impa, Purah, Robbie, hell even Kogha would do well as the new mech pilot. The mech would function the same, only with actual pilots instead of the spirit of Mineru within. The final cutscene could instead be Rauru and Sonia saying goodbye to the new champions, which would make their goodbye that much more poignant, especially the scene where the champions renew their vows to Zelda just as they did to Rauru. Even the mech itself is underwhelming. Slow, tedious, and only useful early game. Could be better. In conclusion, no one cares about Rauru's little sister.

A steering stick will not boot you out when falling if it's connected to something, so if you stick the steering stick to a rock (or any other object), move it over a cliff, use Recall to move it over the cliff while on the steering stick, and fall, you stay on the steering stick even at terminal velocity, and will still be protected from fall damage, although the high momentum and the awkward shape of a rock might cause it to bounce away wildly upon landing, which boots you out when landing

[@ModestJoke]

1 minute 7 seconds is pretty close to 2000 frames. 2000 frames is actually 1 minute 6.667 seconds. Lots of things in video games are timed by the number of frames.

[@edwheezer6231]

One of my favorite things to do with Mineru is to have a cannon on one of her arms at all times. It adds a spicy element to combat since you're never quite sure when the next explosion will be, and occasionally I'll forget she has it only to be walking past a Chuchu or something and there's an explosion out of nowhere XD

[@TheSpideyWing]

Based on some simple math, it looks like in terms of seconds the 30 minute parts on Mineru only get between 3 & 4 percent of the time they do on their own? The equation I set up is as follows, so other people can see my thought process: 67 s = (x/100) * 30 m * 60 s / 1 m Notes: -Solving for x -s is seconds, m is minutes; I left them in so people can see how I converted between seconds and minutes

[@BogCold]

[@tionodese8110]

Uh you won't fall off a falling steering stick if it's attached to something. Another fun option to get down without paraglider is a stabilizer attached to something climbable. I also drop steering sticks off ledges when enemies fall down so I can go get their body parts and recall back up.

The only time you're ever going to run into it is if you're running the specific edge case that I was, where your goal is literally to drag one collection of zonai parts around the map with you forever because you hate throwing things away and want to get as much use out of them as possible.

One missed opportunity that I really wish was in the game was allowing Mineru to truly become apart of our ultrahand creations.

I actually didn't know that mineru can heat up a balloon! That's pretty neat

Lighting Spicy peppers or Sunshroom on fire (might apply to more materials, i've only tested those two) creates a strong updraft, like throwing a pinecone at a fire does.

Springs on mineru’s back do despawn when you hold the y button for a certain amount of time. I don’t know how long but I think it is 67 seconds.

W for not putting a spoiler in the title or thumbnail, hate it when I get spoiled for stuff when it's in the titles

Actually, light *can* remove Gibdo armor, it just has to be the strong light from a mirror

They really dropped the ball on Mineru's attachments way too many basically do nothing

[@Frosty_Dragons22]

I dont go to the gerudo desert enough to know if they still do this or not, but what if you attach food to a zonai device or, put food and a zonai device in the range where the molduga to eat it? Always been curious about this. Edit: What if you put a stake on the back of mineru and walk the construct into it? Will it get stuck or?

I was hoping to learn a useful strategy for optimizing Minru, but I can't see a single thing she can do for me. She waited for millennia to help us and she's not able to do squat.

The stake durability thing was probably meant to make you donsomething sus

4:35 This also increases Mineru’s attack power, and her arms count as two handed weapons.

For the fans, it's not just water. Fans also drain slower when attached to objects attached to a rail, much like how fans also drain slower when attached to logs for a raft. The theory behind this is to make fans more practical for transportation in the early/mid game, due to them being the main power source for boats and rail carts.

Fans, when near a minecart of any type also use less energy, and pre-activated Zonai devices like the hover stones in the lightning temple only use battery when Ultrahanded!
