I'm literally confused on how hated this shrine is. I saw a lot of unpleasant reactions on this shrine from both comments and videos, then when I did it my own, 90% of the time I was savescumming to modify the Iron Sledgehammer for the Stone Taluses' exterminator. And for the optional challenge for the giant ancient core, It didn't even take me more than 5 tries using the same sledgehammer.

[@Nianque2]

@@buffmon1038 How I feel about certain shrines in totk. Go through, beat it on the second try. Go on the internet EVERYONE is complaining about how obscenely difficult the shrine is (it's the rail shrine)

"You think you're smarter than all 4000 people in Chat?" I mean, technically there IS a smartest person in chat at any given time, always

[@tanini56]

You mentioned view count, TIME OUT

[@Vgamer311]

True, but the odds that it’s any given person are extremely low.

[@marzipancutter8144]

Also the second and third smartest all count to the collective intelligence of chat so even the smartest person in chat will usually not be smarter than all 4000 people in chat.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Anyone could come up with the solution to a problem. That doesn't make them "smart" or anyone else "dumb." There's no real single definition of "smart" that applies to this situation at all, so I'd say "being smarter than anyone else in chat" is a completely meaningless concept.

[@marzipancutter8144]

​@@Nat_the_Chicken I think the opposite is true. Smart is way too loosely defined to be used in a general statement. It is only in this context that smart has a very clear meaning. I'd even go as far as to say that restricting it to a specific situation like "problem solving" is the only place where the use of smart as a comparator has any meaning at all. This is just semantics anyway.

This wasn’t that bad. They ones I hate are the ones that have the motion control apparatus. It’s a nightmare on a switch lite.

[@peruserprecurer1446]

This is a challenge run

[@fluxuous6907]

There's actually a pretty simple solution to those, at least, if your playing docked, just turn the whole thing upside-down.

[@V.U.4six]

Fluxuous he specified on lite Aka you can’t dock or do table top I usually had my joycons detached or my pro controller

[@tobymciver1645]

imagine playing it on a wii u emulator with *no* motion controls. imho, the motion puzzles were the worst thing about botw. hopefully in botw 2 they arent added.

[@seveneighths1278]

I only ever had to deal with those on a Wii U, so it wasn’t that hard. Doing the same with a Switch Lite certainly does sound like a nightmare.

Ball: *moves 3 feet* Ant (at 4:10): "Ooo, That was a good one!"

[@pixywings]

After all of the trial and error at this shrine I found that 4 hits with a large 2 handed weapon (Iron Sledgehammer) followed by a single hit from a one handed sword usually does the trick.

[@lynear3756]

Unnecessarily 😂🤣💀

[@lilbro291gaming9]

Remember kids, intended strats

[@q_prod]

I literally had to glitch myself between the bars to get high enough to jump over the barrier. I put a octopus balloon thing on the ball and shot arrows at it to make it move out of the barrier into the water. Once I glitched myself on top of the metal bar, I used the ice thing to pick it up and throw it all the way to the whole. I had no clue you could hit the object while it was frozen to make it launch until I was almost done with the game. I thought it was just for freezing stuff lol.

[@isaiahschmitt8680]

Don't they literally force you to move an object with stasis in the tutorial for stasis though?

[@q_prod]

@@isaiahschmitt8680 no. I was shield jumping or using other tools to do it. My first time playing it was on PC a year or two ago

i'm dying this is the funniest and most ridiculous way to do this. the way you threw away the hammers that would've solved this puzzle in like 5 minutes. you made your life so hard for yourself for no reason 😭😭😭 very unique technique

on one hand this dude commitment is commendable and way over where i would have pushed myself, on the other hand i was let down by the octobaloon strat, once the chat clipped the "pick up" line the mutual agreement between streamer and viewer was imposing him to actually keep trying to defeat ballblight with that strat in any case kudos, you gave me and awesome 15 minutes
