[@jacobsteinebronn2966]

I did this but with attack buff instead; for master mode trial 1, this is better since damage output is so limited (weapons are low damage and low durability), so the attack buff is *huge* since it lets your weapons and bows go that much further. Even with that, it’s still a really tough trial, but the lower trials are the hardest by far so it’s okay

It's been a long time since I did my master mode run but I think I remember that only the beginner trial was hard and the rest was surprisingly easy

Diamondmon1999 yea mainly it was like impossible to kill those lizalfos when they fell in the water... that gave me nightmares

[@bradencosier80]

Diamondmon1999 oh yeah, I was of the same opinion, it was much the same in regular mode, Only the beginning trials gave me any trouble, oddly enough. Issue is, I just couldn’t for the life of me beat the beginning trials on master mode.

Master trials of the sword are the only time I used attack up food. Only for those lizalfos

@@TrueOracle nobody asked me but I did, I'm dead like 4 times in the first trial (all because the white lizalfos on the water base), 2 times in the second trial just because I'm dumb, and I did a first try of the last trial (pretty funny right?)

I had to look up how to beat that floor on Master Mode. If you can get 2 headshots on the first lizard after stasising it, it will die. Then you can sneak strike lock the other 2, just being very careful they don’t fall into the water

[@mrthanos2404]

I remember when I first played the master trials I was so afraid of not having enough weapons that I saved up everything I had, painstaking beating them with bombs, boulders and drowning them. Then I finished the final level with 5 ancient arrows remaining and a whole inventory filled with unused royal weapons. I nearly threw my controller out of a window.

[@Diamond_Aura]

I love these trials specifically because it makes the game actually feel challenging again after you get good again. But dang if I didn’t die as many times on my first run throughs as he did

[@tyler8881]

I didn’t feel like wasting 2 days attempting to beat the trials in master mode, but I really wanted to. So I proceeded to shield clip through the wall run the to final trial, cryonis clip back in and beat the hinox with the metal box. I did this for all 3 trials. And finished in about an hour and a half

[@workinprogress8978]

I just did it for the first time in my finished file. I plan on doing this for a new play-through getting one master sword upgrade after I beat a divine beast and unlock a shrine at one of the fountains of Courage, Power, or Wisdom. Feels thematic to me.

depends on the weapons those lynels have, if they have swords it's doable, if they have spears it can probably still be done, if they have crushers you're fucked.

I finally completed the final trial of trial of the sword today after putting it off for so long. I attempted immediately after the medium trial twice and died super early on both times, so I was super discouraged to try again. My successful attempt went a lot smoother, until I almost ran out of food in the second to last floor. Those ancient arrows came in real handy. Didn't have to fight a single lynel.

[@zacharyframe1916]

the way i see it is that it's effectively a reusable weapon (bar the cool down), so it's always worth it to use it first. since im not very skilled, though, i can't complete these trials, so i usually use my master sword to mine rocks

@@zacharyframe1916 there are multiple ways to skip the trials so and you can get the and you can get the master sword early (and be able to do the trials early) by using the essence dupe untill you have 13 hearts and when you get the quest for the trials you can just sell the duped hearts if you don't want to keep them that way you can have a fully powered master sword very early game Edit: There is also a glitch that makes it so you can take the master sword with 3 hearts but I'm pretty sure the trial of the sword quest won't activate untill you actually do the pull animation which requires 13 hearts

Fun fact: lizalfos arms can be used as boomerangs. Also: ancient arrows insta-kill non-boss enemies or guardians, but not dropping any loot.
