TOTK's Challenge Mode MOD just hit 1.0

[@knightpohtaytoe]

Edit: As Echo said below, the TKMM version is broken at the moment so if you want to choose options you will have to wait for TKMM to get updated. To answer some questions, I can't directly tell you how to install the mod/where to get it because Nintendo will take down my channel, but I can tell you that you select the options through TKMM.

[@echocolatowo]

Atm, TKMM is broken, dont use it with TKMM (will only be usable once TKMM gets an update)

[@VanjaRasic]

Whats tkmm?

[@ClanofMashuganas]

The entire dev team did such a beautiful job with this mod. So much time and care went into making this mod and it's demonstrated threefold. Not mention our stream can game, spuds! KP, so proud of you for all your hardwork playing AND this video covered what the mod had to offer while leaving it up for those who still want to discover on their own!

[@echocolatowo]

it took its time (more than 1 year) but Challenge Mode 1.0 is finally here 😭😭😭thx for the support everyone

[@knightpohtaytoe]

Thanks to you and your team for making such an awesome mod!

[@echocolatowo]

@knightpohtaytoe Demon Lord Gleeok has been entirely reworked to be less frustrating and more amusing/cinematic btw

[@knightpohtaytoe]

@@echocolatowo nice!

[@FieryRed_BE]

yo echo! it’s samu! congrats!

[@RealApollo69777]

Why don't the new Lynel Horns follow the damage trend of the rest of the Lynel Horns? FE: basic saber horns do 22, blue ones do 33, then 44 and 55. Why don't the new ones do 66 and 77? Also mace horns always have 4 less damage.

[@DarkBones-p1t]

I’m glad that the SOLDIER construct horns aren’t useless with in this mod. They were outclassed by everything else.

[@AlucardsShadows]

This is absolutely insane! I don't think I'll ever attempt this, but I love the idea that an amazing community surrounds this and it will be an option to look into. Thanks for covering this and many thanks to all the long hours and hard work to everyone who came together for this project. I love how saturated the neon looking colors are on everything, which definitely sets it apart from everything else. It makes me wonder if there's going to be some kind of cyberpunk "ancient technology" elements also included in the future. I'm definitely not saying it needs anything more, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it on your channel because of how genius and creative these folks are.

[@zogoe]

Just started a brand new play through playing this mod and let me tell you it’s hell and I love it. It really makes me use all aspects and elements of the game to win and that’s the real challenge can’t wait to beat Ganon on this.

[@GradyKallenbach]

This mod is amazing! I beat the Hebra monster camp last night and the new helm. It was so intense! Embarrassing to say, lol, but I was shaking and constantly worried I would run out of my duped fairies (playing on 1.1.1) or my Deck would crash (it kept locking up on the Hateno Fort mob, which I had no business attempting with that armored lynel!). I'm literally afraid to boot this up on my laptop cuz I've got important daytime responsibilities and have a very hard time stopping playing modded TOTK! Thanks for all the hard work, beautiful enemies, and show stopping fashion statement horns!

[@cato3277]

The only really fugly horn here is the Golden Moblin horn. It’s legit just a big gold and black hunk with spikes. Everything else looks rad tho

What I find funny is that the game encourages you to use boomerangs with this mod

[@Theonly_z_Official]

Nah.. why.. I swear boomerangs are really useless unless you're just swinging it than throwing it in the air because it's a 70% it's gonna miss the targets

[@cmscalvert]

The designs are bananas! I just wish the difficulty was so fn crazy.

[@glowstickspinalfluid]

i haven't even beat the base game yet but all of these designs are so cool!!!! you have no idea how much i love the seized constructs :D

[@mh6276]

I feel like mods are always cooler and more awesome than the game they are for. Like, this is just ultimate coolness.

[@mh6276]

I got a heart from pohtaytoe! This is what fans tend to do, they love and nerd out over stuff and think "Imagine if this was in the game!" or "Imagine if this character had done that!" or "Imagine if we could ride this beast!" and then they just create this awesome fanfiction-like stuff!

[@Turtle-the-Australian-one]

Hell yeah brother

[@GIGACAT573]

Do the seized constructs (not the boss one) still attack the Bokoblins ?

[@Theonly_z_Official]

I'm very certain you can turn almost any enemy against each other by using a muddlebud.

[@GIGACAT573]

@Theonly_z_Official No like naturally. The constructs attack the bokoblins when they are meeting. Even if no muddlebud.

[@tolkienblack]

I’ve never wanted to play a mod so bad in my life

[@byronsmothers8064]

Just one person's take: if the tyrant lynel's horns were going to be weaker than the demon gleeok horns, it might've served well to be mace horns to be bludgeoning versions. But I'm no mod dev.

[@rockinggamerdude]

Imagine getting a cemetery of a sevens from the one quest and fusing it with the 75 damage horn

[@Jagaters]

Very cool mod, the custom horns look official

[@Starstreak-oy7tv]

[@cethsui]

My god I received my steam deck at a perfect time, had it for 5-6 days now but only setup emulation yesterday and now I hear of basically master mode in totk. I 100% the game on my switch and so badly wanted a master mode and now it’s a thing.

[@brooklynvlogs9396]

I can't understand why Nintendo didn't give us this. I have no reason to replay the game without something like this, they just sent people into the arms of modders instead of keeping that community close to home.

[@justinwilliams1127]

Any idea where I can go to ask questions? I can't get my Yuzu version to recognize the mod.

[@Kwispy_and_Scattered]

I would love if someone created a custom flux construct that made use of different zonai devices to fire lasers or turn into a car and charged at link. Though i can only dream about this because something like that is a lot harder then juat scaling up health and attack speed.

[@knightpohtaytoe]

Yeah I don't know if it's possible but it would be incredible

[@obaid8323]

This looks great ! I have two questions tho, and it's about the hinoxes, Firstly : is there a silver hinox ? Because if I remember correctly the highest tier for hinoxes was the black hinox Secondly : was the coliseum below the lost woods changed, because I remember being pretty disappointed when I found out there was only one hinox instead of each tier like ther other coliseum

[@Crepuculum]

[@gamesforyou2351]

Master mode can't be played with other mods because tkmm isn't compatible yet and won't be for months. This puts off challenge mod because there are way too many mods I won't give up. So unfortunately challenge mod is on hold for me

[@Zxandro]

How do we get to the options, where we are able to pick and choose the features the mod has.

Are we able to add a the new challenge mod and use my current save file to play or do I have to make a new game.

How can you mod your game and can you get the golden enemies on a save that has game beaten on it

[@Is-wunny]

Btw, Killing Seized Constructs is NOT worthy Most of the time they DO NOT drop Horns, they basically are a High risk low reward enemy. (Some Gold Enemies also have this Detail, which also sucks, but i doubt it is intentional)

@@Is-wunny They don't drop stuff when killed by drowning. Otherwise they always drop their horns.

[@kingwest171]

So. For someone that doesn’t already have a working emulator for this, what would be your recommendation? I’ve been playing relics of the past lately, and have been having a lot of fun with it. Under normal circumstances, I have 2 rules for emulation. 1: Nothing from the last two console generations (as of writing this, that means nothing from the switch or WiiU), and 2: Nothing I haven’t played legitimately before. So far botw has been the only exception and that’s for mods. I am interested in modding Totk as well, but Yuzu got got by Nintendo so idk where to move to.

[@knightpohtaytoe]

I would love to give advice on that but Nintendo is very strict with content creators so it's very risky for me to help. If you join my discord server I'm sure someone (totally not me) can help you

[@kingwest171]

@@knightpohtaytoe Lol. Alright, I don’t typically like to join discords. But I can do so this time. Edit: Alright, I'm in. I have already seen most of the vod this video comes from, so I'm looking forward to playing this myself when I can.

yo i actually want to try it where do i get it

[@michaelgarner4423]

I feel we should have had something similar to Ganondorf’s lieutenants in the base Totk Actually I wished the army was more fleshed out in base game and make not just a ending fight, but a all out showdown between Good vs Evil at lookout landing

[@arridueldes9843]

That would have been awesome, Link along with all the forces that gather there over the game vs some massive horde led by some sort of unique boss monster would have been a good finale to the monster camp questline and nice way to actually make having the soldiers from other regions show up matter.

Some of these new horns honestly look the same as the old ones just re coloured buy the. Golden lynel horns are 10/10

[@echocolatowo]

@Thunderous_crafting That's insane to say when the modelers spent dozens of hours on them, I encourage you to point at *one* horn that looks the same as the old ones

[@Thunderous_crafting]

@echocolatowo ok I'm just saying like they're cool and all but look at the boko and lyzal horns they look a bit too similar to the black and silver counterparts in my opinion

[@echocolatowo]

@Thunderous_crafting The golden boko horn is a direct evolution of red, blue and black boko horns (from 1 spike to 2 spikes to 3 spikes to 5 spikes). It's not because it has the same style that it's "similar". If golden&black are similar, so are black&blue and blue&red and then it's no longer an issue from the mod. Exact same for Lizalfos horn. Black and Silver horns progress into being more and more like a scythe, so it's logical the golden horn is also a scythe, it's about theming :/

[@Thunderous_crafting]

@echocolatowo ok I'm just not seeing 5 spikes

[@Thunderous_crafting]

@echocolatowo idk where you got the idea about the scythe progression. But it could look more different Also why does the horroblin have blue?

The rebalanced cooking makes a lot of sense, but for things like carrots and apples it doesn't make sense. Not being able to eat raw meat and raw chicken of course but you should still be able to eat apples and carrots or just vegetables in general though.

[@echocolatowo]

It's a balance change not something made to be more realistic.

@echocolatowo Fair enough, just thought it was kind of weird is all. Likely would have been difficult to implement even if they went that route though.
