All the puzzles and buttons from 2:30 to 5:10 are completely optional, unfortunately. I thought that Riju telling me about the fire meant I had to find a way around that corridor to disable the trap - and it turns out that you are under the main chamber at that point, so when I tried using Ascend to do that I found the central Dragon Ring - and activating it causes Riju to appear in the main room, so I completed the temple without ever disabling the fire trap. Granted, this was soon after lauch, so this may have been patched out, but it isn't a glitch, just a developer oversight. Completing the temple doesn't cause the puzzles to be solved automatically, so you'll need to confirm that it still works on the test save, then go back to a prior save to fix this, if you still can.

If this becomes a future errata, they also will need to consider the locations of obtained arrows, if any of the slain gibdos were to have been inaccessible. likely replacing them with the (iirc) randomly spawning gibdos cus i think they can have arrows too

this challenge run really reminds me of Gamechamp's videos but like a mirrored version of them. 'restart when you fail' vs 'no save scumming'. 'lattes' vs 'cursed immersion'. Equal and opposite. its hard to explain but it's there

Quick tip for rock octorocks, if you save near one before using it to repair your gear, you can reload and try again if you don't get the modifier you want. I use this trick all the time in my playthrough. Good luck with the run!

Okay... confession time. On my first playthrough, when I reached the temple I saw the immediate cheese potential with ascend. I then proceeded to spend the next 2 hours trying to sequence break the temple (which it REALLY doesn't want you to do) before giving up and doing the puzzles the normal way. Buuuut... I did skip one part. The intro. I did not recognize the burning balls of fire ("went down down down, and the flames went higher" hehe) in the SLIGHTEST I was so confused when they came on screen. Lol.

8:17 I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure removing that rock above the wind thingie is a permanent change. I solved the temple without touching it only for one of my friends to move it immediately upon entering.

If you're having trouble fighting queen gibdo here's my advice- Use mineru + frost emitter. Frost emitters tend to reset queen gibdo's attack pattern, but there's a set amount of time between each time it has an effect, so use it only when needed. Mineru punches deal 27 damage each so ride on mineru, freeze queen gibdo each time she tries to attack you, and whale on her with punches. After enough hits she'll fall and be stunned for a short bit and you can let loose a few more attacks there. Use cannons on mineru to handle the gibdo hives of phase 2, but you may need to smuggle a cannon into this dungeon somehow....

You and me both lol. When I started that challenge in BotW back in the day, I expected it to have like 3-4 parts, max. Get a non-optional weapon, defeat the bosses, visit all locations, get the Koroks. Doesn't sound like much ... Most of the rules I'm playing by today came from community feedback, like like not picking up items (apples) for puzzles, keeping track of the arrow supply, not defeating enemies that award XP and the like.

This probably won’t matter in the long run, but you don’t have to wait for the rocktorok to spit out another rock to kill it. When it spits it the weapon, recall that back. It deals damage after being spat out. It *is* a weapon, after all. Edit: You also don’t need to churn through multiple of them for a single modifier- just save before using one then reload if he gives you something you would rather not have. You don’t *have* to do this, but it would make your future journeys over there easier, no?

i’ve always wondered if it was possible to just ascend into the travel gate room. I could swear i accidentally did it my first run esp since i don’t remember any of the puzzles leading up to it. I get you’re supposed to clear the path for riju but i think she spawned in after interacting with the travel gate/platform to get to the boss room. I want to try it again to check to see if i just misremembered or something but i’ve yet to reach the temple in my second run. And if i did ascend in i have no clue where from.
@psuedonym99993 ай бұрын
See, I don't remember if I tried this either and what the result was, but I'm guessing that if one tries this, it'd probably just do the red X if Riju hadn't already been guided there.

It's starting to get better, but sh*t had hit the fan big time IRL so I had to take an unplanned break from gaming for a while. But it *is* getting better, and I'll resume the challenge eventually. As for most other games I've played, I'm not sure if they would fit the overall tone of this channel TBH. Games like for example The Witcher 3 aren't exactly "family friendly" if you know what I mean ;)

if possible invest in frost emitters. they freeze enemies for a long enough timespan so its a good "fuck off" option if you just don't want to be bothered.

2:08 But they're _enchanted_ torches! Besides every knows ancient civilizations had way more advanced technology than modern civilization so they must've found a way to keep torches burning forever. :P (Small typo but I'm sure you meant "all the torches are already lit") Wait can't you just reload your save if the Rock Octorock didn't give you the upgrade you want? This Temple felt the most "old school Zelda" with the puzzles, the mirrors, working your way up to the top. I also liked the journey to discovering the temple. It really did feel like unearthing a centuries old forgotten treasure that we solved through clues from myths and murals. Very Indiana Jones-ish. For those reasons the Lightning Temple is my 2nd favorite though the desert region is one of my least favorite places to explore. (Sorry Lawrence. The desert may be "clean" but I'd rather not be scorched during the day then freezing at night. :P)

Jep, reload-savescumming works. I just didn't want to sit through the loading screens multiple times =P And totally agree about the temple. The Spirit Temple was my number one favorite in Ocarina of Time, so much that I kept one save state in which I hadn't completed it yet so I could replay it whenever I wanted :) (I still hate the Floormasters tho, especially the invisible ones. Big old NOPE!)
@Kurea472 ай бұрын
@@WolfLink_justlookingfordragon "didn't want to sit through the loading screens multiple times =P" Gotcha. haha I know the fear of Floormasters from the collective terror of the Zelda community. Confession: When we were kids I watched my brother play Ocarina of Time...on an emulator. He bypassed some of the Temple puzzles with cheats when he felt like he was taking too long to figure out what to do, but it was still a lot of fun! (Our parents didn't want us distracted by video games and would rather we be studying 24/7 but uh, we found ways around that...) I loved the music, the story, the world of Hyrule and the time travel aspect. Exploring the same world separated by seven years of changes was genius! I thought if Zelda ever got a movie, they should adapt Ocarina of Time! It would be as epic as Lord of the Rings - I thought. But now with movies being more about raking in cash and milking IP's than creative storytelling, an interesting plot, heroes who have a reason to fight whether it's for what they believe in or for whom they're defending, I have my doubts for this "live action" Zelda... If anyone can turn The Legend of Zelda into a movie and nail the tone, the aesthetics, and the characters, it's Studio Ghibli. Also welcome back! Hope you had a nice break. (^_^)/
