For the ancient altar ruins cave, I found you don’t need to go down every sand whirlpool. When you are in the cave you can just stand on each pile of sand down there. Once you stand on top of a sand pile the game will register you finding the entrance, could save you some time.

[@sparkysheep]

And a key to knowing without opening the map if it registered is every time the map registers a new location it autosaves. So running around in there you get save after save after save

Hero's path mode is very useful for figuring out if you need to see where you haven't been while searching for unfound locations

[@nfsilverblade1526]

true but still becareful about heromode it doesnt show the y axes, so if ur missing a sage wills but the map shows u have been over the chest's location multiple times in the skymap that doesnt mean u opened the chest, same with overworld bosses, u could have been to where a boss is but u havent fought it or chickened out(toke me awhile to remember i marked 2 skele hinox cause not night time and they dont wake up if u sleep at campfire near them u need to unload/reload them)

[@e.t.18]

@@nfsilverblade1526 If you are on a sky island and use hero's mode, if u see that there is a line covering that area but it's a darker green that means you explored that area either on land or in the depths. If for example the line showed a bright green line, that would mean you explored that area on the sky islands and not on the land and depths area 👍

You can press a button that will cycle thru the display options. You can make it hide the green line if it’s not on the tier of the map you’re looking at.

I’m missing maybe one lightroot. I am fairly positive every one easily viewable on the map is checked and the one under the Castle but haven’t gotten the medal yet and cannot for the life of me find it. Figured I’ll likely stumble across it someday but incredibly frustrating as I spent a whole night trying to knock them out.

[@TheQuickAsAFlash]

I discovered that the checkmarks on the caves mean that you've gotten the bubbulfrog from that cave already and I just about cried from joy as I was worried since I hadn't tracked them at the beginning. |D

[@RyanNaser413]

Might I suggest tracking your Addison signs if you haven't already? There's no indication for those on the map so when you are trying to find the last one you didn't do, you'll have to go to all of them again one by one. The one I missed was just left Kakariko Village. I had gone down the road so Hero's Path showed me going there which made me think I had gotten that sign, forcing me to go check each and every one again. It was a rough time. I'd also suggest marking Hinox, Frox, Flux Constructs, Talus that you kill all with different marks. Molduga and Gleeok, don't worry about there aren't many. The rest of the medals of honor monsters though, mark the ones you kill so you don't have to go back over and over.

[@TheQuickAsAFlash]

@@RyanNaser413 Thank you! I've been skipping the Addison signs ngl, but I'll definitely be tracking them once I start on them! :D

Hey guys, Autistic Austin here. today I'm going to be showing a tutorial on how I lure in easily manipulated 8-year-olds onto my channel. Before the video starts, I put two 30 second Unskippable ads with incredibly inappropriate content in them, this hooks their brain and keeps them entertained before the video even starts. After this, I ramble about useless nonsense for around 8 minutes before the actual video starts, and once it does, I go onto a random chart of Tears of the kingdom and ramble about even more nonsense. I generally refrain from putting actual useful timestamps so if they want to see anything remotely useful they will have to watch through the entire 40-minute video with 12 Un skippable ads every 4 minutes just to be disappointed because they realized the entire video was useless, another thing I do is waste people's time. For example, I usually tell them to create a flying machine designed to go upwards just to tell them to go downwards. I pretend I don't know what the X button on my controller does. I put obnoxious faces and twelve arrows in every single one of my thumbnails to get the 7-year-olds to click them. You may think this is a terrible thing to do, but it makes me money. And even if I do feel guilt for what I do I instantly get all the dopamine back by beating my son jerry with a whip. There are far more practices I do to manipulate the underdeveloped brain of 7 year olds, but I'll show that in another video. Autistic Austin out!

Some locations count as 2 because they have two versions on the map, depending on how much you zoom in/out. If you zoom out and it slightly moves, then it will count as 2 (or 3 in some cases I believe).

Just wanted to point out something about @6:12 You mentioned needing to go into every single cave to get the entrances, but if you're inside the cave, you can simply walk onto the mound where each entrance spits you out and it will count that entrance, which is much faster than going up and down over and over

[@GGabe_]

I've been waiting for this video for the longest bro. Thank you so much!!! 🙌

[@landsmash5381]

I love the fact that the uploads just keep coming! Awesome content EVERY TIME! 🔥

[@nikitasimonenko1269]

Thank you. Will definitely 100% this game

[@naturalgas1180]

Thanks for all the useful and analytical information.

[@joshuasanchez6100]

My last one was "Gleeok Bridge" - the smallest bridge in the whole game... just north of the outskirt stable. It's right next to where I farmed bomb flowers courtesy of AJP's element farming video. BTW thank you AJP. Your videos are so good. The quality, the research, the presentation - it's all top tier man. I appreciate you.

[@hilarybush1988]

That video is the best! I can't tell you how many times I've rigged the same battle talus/bomb basket bokoblin group. 😂

[@TheCastleCount]

Just finished 100% completion today, the interactive maps like on zeldamaps were a great help. My very last location was actually the ruined bridge near the Akkala citadel, so definitely make sure to visit every single bridge that you can find. Same thing goes for those ruined structures like the mentioned Maritta Exchange Ruins or the Royal Ancient Lab Ruins. Finally, there are a bunch of landmarks in and around Hyrule Castle that you'll only find if you zoom in really far, there's a high likelyhood that you'll miss some of those as well. And for Koroks, the only hint I can give is to be thorough and careful from the very beginning of your search, so that you won't have to start all over again later. Good luck everyone!

I was thinking, would you be willing to do a video on all of the Schema Stones? I was mapping out all of the depths and realized there's quite a few spots that look like hideouts that I hadn't gone over yet as well as there are the mines that have exclusive blueprints, there was the one that Robbie gave you to teach you how to use auto build better, I was just curious if that was something you'd be willing to do

[@m000dyblues9]

AJP said that every place with a Forge Construct also has a Schema Stone. There are 2 exceptions I can think of: You get a Schema Stone from Josha by completing the Autobuild quest. The second one is from a Construct in the Shrine of Resurrection on the Great Plateau. The other 10 are found near the forges in the Depths.

[@raptorclawVR]

I’ve seen every single Austin John totk video. I need more!

[@nellyp2622]

I have been at 99.95% for several days so I checked out the Zelda Maps site like you said and I went 1 by 1 looking for all cave entrances first and the last location on the map I was missing was the Pikida Stonegrove Northwest Caves alternate entrance (the one closest to the skyview tower). Such a relief to get the map 100% complete. Thanks for all the awesome help with the game.

[@500werewolf]

You actually don't need to go into every Sand sink hole in the Gerudo Desert. You can actually go through one and stand underneath entrance, and the game still registers that you've discovered it.

[@swampthing1689]

I actually came to his channel because I'm used to watching his Pokémon present reactions but I got worried it seems like he hasn't been posting lately, However, he probably took a break. Which is understandable. He does a ridiculous amount of research for these game videos and it's only human to need a vacation. I'm looking forward to the dlc and I hope he will be making a video on it when it comes out. 😊

[@MankyKong7]

he might either be on break or not uploading because he doesn't have anything to upload, just my guesses though

[@donfluffles1438]

Actually got the Ancient Altar Ruins you can visit each of the sand piles underneath each of the entrances and they will still give you the entrance. I was so happy when I did that on accident and realized that I didn’t have to sit through all those cutscenes.

This video has been very helpful! I got all 1000 korok seeds an hour ago, and man was it a pain. I had 999 koroks, but my map had all 1000 checked off. Luckily i found the missing korok after about 20 minutes of searching. Now I'm just finding all the caves to hopefully see that 100% map completion!

[@user-tm3it6iy3i]

What happened you were doing so well with pumping out content, can’t wait for the next one

[@playinzegame]

I'd say for 100%+ you also need 50 pony points 40 for half off and 50 to get at least the reward of 5 sleepover tickets and 3 endura carrots once.

[@AustinJohnPlays]

after 50 you just keep getting 1 of the 2 every 5 points. so it never ends

[@BobDylan515]

Hey AJP just wanted to say that you are missing a cave funnily enough where you said that it would be scary to be missing a cave in the video. It is an entrance to the Tabahl Woods Cave.

[@malikplays5251]

6:29 You can register all those individual quicksand entrances from inside the cave by simply walking up the pile of sand they create from right below each of the holes entrances

[@cronkthebookguy]

I had 999 korok seeds and I went through the online map THREE times before I found the last one. Just southeast of Birida Lookout Chasm, there's a platform with a korok seed on the top, and one precisely underneath it too. They overlap when appearing on a map. Drove me crazy trying to find it! Thanks Austin John for the vid! I'm stuck at 99% and realised I need to find groves in the depths. 👍

[@mangojam4518]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the compendium. I considered 100+ for BotW and will do again for this game. The sheikah stealth suit really helps for getting good pictures of animals and critters

For the Dispelling Darkness Medal you do need to activate all of the lightroots in order to get it as I didn't get mine until after I activated my last one.

[@pedrogarcia8706]

I thought he was wondering if you have to activate them for map completion

Can confirm. Also it doesn't give you the medal till after you activate the root, not when you discover it

for anyone having trouble with the random underground locations, all the named groves correspond with same-named forests in the overworld, while the underground canyons and their mines correspond with overworld mountains.

[@TimeSorceror]

I am not about getting 999 of each material because hunting all those beetles would SUCK, but other than that I do like to do mostly everything else, including getting all the armor and fully upgrading everything. I even have both the hood down and the hood up 😅

[@acantilado]

I personally don’t think it’s fair to lump opening all chests with getting 999 of everything. One involves solving sometimes quite devious puzzles and the other…is mindless, terrible grinding

[@frog6712]

9:03 At 280 hours I’ve done every single thing in the game except koroks and named location. How in the world is this how I find out about the second crystal refinery that’s right outside Lookout Landing?

[@daiyan5688]

Thanks to your video I just got the 100% map completion. I didn't know that you need literally all of the cave entrances lol Only things missing for me now are the Hudson signs and around 10 Frox, 22 stone talus and 17 Hinox. All of those are a pain since the game doesn't tell you which ones you already did so in the worst case you have to visit each location

[@MarchMarauder]

Awesome video Austin! good luck getting 100% everyone

[@prestonrcasey]

The Akkala Bridge Ruins is one of the last of two locations so far on my map, but it didn't show as discovered despite having already gotten the korok seed there. Beware of this, there could be locations in the overworld you may have thought you gone to but didn't show up as discovered.

I had a cave entrance where I went there, went back there, ran in circles, jumped around a bit, and then rebooted my Switch before it finally appeared on my map.

Some people have been marking down the prologue as a 24th main quest objective, which was really confusing up until this point because there is no way to add that to the game. I am glad you’ve shown that there are only 23 main quest objectives

[@KumaBones]

You do need to activate the lightroots for the medal, but I think the map counter gives some progress simply for finding it. It'll show as orange on the map though, and it won't be providing light. I know because I had one single tiny one left, and I got it immediately after activating it

[@Saracen93]

Thank you for confirming the old maps number. The odd 31 irked me after I opened all the chests in the sky, and I thought I missed some. I refused to re-explore everything especially since I’d already gotten all the armor in the depths.

[@therealgungus160]

He died, have you not heard the news? he got sent to jail for child pedophilia and he commit suicide in jail. Daily TOTK uploads aren't going to be a thing anymore, his son jerry is taking over the channel, the way he got caught by the police was when his son called the cops and recorded a video of him beating him with a whip with metal plating, they also pulled security camera footage and witnessed him curb stomping his wife several times. Not to mention the time a few years ago he was caught distributing meth in a white neighborhood.

[@coopsaf]

In BOTW, one thing that took me forever to discover were these small ruins of a town on the east side of Death Mountain. There's nothing great or important near those ruins so it's unlikely for someone to casually come across it. I'm sure that could be another location on the map that is holding people up from the 100%.

Also the Water Resorvoir (small pond to the southwest of Hyrule Castle)

Is the big gate just to get out or is it the entrance to the cave? Would you consider doing a video just on how to get to the Shrines, cave entrances, gem runs, I do keep an eye out for the glowing rabbits. Oh, and maybe the Misko caves?
