Dude I love the depths so much. Based on the trailers I really thought that the Sky was gonna be the biggest addition, and I do love the sky. But the Depths just mirror the surface in an insane amount of cool ways; Zonaite canyon mines under every named mountain, lightroots under shrines, water on the surface being impassable, abandoned mines being under cities, lava falls being under hot springs… and et cetera lol there’s really just countless ways. I am so impressed with the detail they put into the depths seriously it’s unreal
Just wish they added some old decayed temples from some of the old games in the depths or in a cave or 2 the cave could lead to the old forest temple from ocarina or hell even the ancient sistern ruins like under the arbiters grounds we should find destroyed ruins of the grounds and we could go explore it aswell
The only thing I'm disappointed in is the lack of villages down there. You can't even find people to talk to or any type of camp/town
@@JasonBK21 It's kind of obvious as to why. Normal people are heavily affected and will die from gloom, which is pretty much everywhere. Not to mention, before Link lights up the roots, the depths are pretty much pitch black. They'd have to make up a whole other race that could've survived here and had to adapt to no light sources.
dude I find it so neat and interesting, the depths... I saw someone make a tiktok of entering the depths to the theme of the undertale song... and now anytime I enter the depths that's all I think about
@@gruiaolaru511 I agree with u but I mean come on u guys can't say it wouldn't be cool to see and explore old temple and dungeon ruins like it also would have been cool for one of the sky Islands to be the monster infected remnants of skyloft
I like the idea that a dead soldier's spirit has waited all this time to present you a preserved weapon, just for you to take it and yeet it in front of them
Reminds me of some minor quest I did in Zora.. I think the one where the old guy wants a picture of Mipha (-_-)... and afterwards he gives you his personal Zora sword that he used for like his whole life and it's his most prized possession.. but it's decayed so I just drop it on the ground like trash right in front of him lol.
Link: Come back next time you've got something useful for me.
Lmao 😂
@@probably_afk Knowing how weapon durability works, he didn't even use it that much
How bout next time you find me a sword that can handle the Link style. Later Ni-
It took me watching Austin's video on Lynel hunting to gather the courage to take the shiny weapons offered to me by the *ghastly warriors in the pitch-black depths as I was certain this was a trap.*
I was afraid of them at first too
sAME
Same here! 😂
Same
Listen I just know it was a Ganon set up but after I beat the Giant Frox nothing down there scared me
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE ROYAL GUARD SWORD:
There is a grove to the northwest of Kakiriko village with many bosses in it that consistently gives Royal guard swords from the soldiers there, so far I’ve gotten at least 6 Royal guard swords and even more then 1 per reset just from that grove, if you have trouble finding it look at Austin’s map for a large area with a small southern entrance to the right of Hyrule castle.
Good luck!
all the royal guard's items are available in the sanctum. The easiest thing is go to the castle once, get your champion's tunic (or whatever it's called in totk, champion's leathers or whatever), smash all the royal guard's gear once, and then get pristine versions in the upside down.
@@edwardnedharvey8019He means where to get the pristine version.
Claymores???
I also found one at the Agaat Canyon mine. Far west of the depths. There I also found a pristine Royal Broadsword and I believe a Royal Guards Spear there also.
I got a few prestine royal claymore with the silver lynel antler and it lasts soooo long. Crazy the difference between a pristine and regulars durability
That means even more hits to get a royal guards claymore to low durability
@@wavy_maz pretty sure he meant the yellow one with more durability
@@Rascalli I did. Couldn't remember if it was called guard claymore or just royal. A regular pristine claymore with the silver lynel antler lasted me 8 rare talus (no dmg boost) and 4 other bosses frox and armored lynel armor
do you remember around about where you found it? Personally prefer the royal weapons to the royal guard weapons, but I don't recall hearing where the pristine versions can be found in this video
@@randomperson8375 you can find Royal weapons in Hebra and the Gerudo highlands (not the desert)
Soldier: I apologize for coming to you in this ghastly form… please know I mean you no harm, in fact i offer my sword. It was given to me by my father and it was given to him by his father. It would be a great honor if this helps you take down the Demo-
Link: ew *throws it*
Soldier: :(
"Not to mention, my nephew used this sword until finally, drawing the Master Sword long ago. It served our family and Hyrule well."😢
i love how you used a simple frowning face for the soldier it somehow conveys so much disappointment and hurt for the soldier that it’s got me giggling so hard
For people who don’t know, when using the hero’s path if you press y to hide the icons, and then press y again it will only show the paths of the level that you are on. So if you are looking at the depths to see where you’ve been and you don’t want to see the paths you’ve taken in the sky or above ground you can do this to make it easier to tell which paths are from what level
yo, thank you!
Real MVP commenter
That is super useful thanks!
Rito spear with any ice horn fused to it is so good for pushing mobs off cliffs
I liked a rito spear (or a spear spear) to keep gloom mobs knocked away in the depths before I got enough hearts to spare a few between lightroots lol
If you like to chase your materials off a cliff as well then that works fine
@@dvxAznxvbif its an enemy you want the materials from don't do this it's that simple
@@dvxAznxvbBy the time you're farming the depths basically any normal mob drop will be fairly inconsequential to you. I think the only one I ever use is the Silver Lizalfos horn, anything less than that isn't really useful by that point as you'll likely have plenty of Lynel stuff for all your actual fuses
@@ViridianFlowpeople 100 percent the depths before even getting the camera and I mean a lot of people
You can force a blood moon by over loading the game. Use muti shot bow with lighting affect in bullet time. Blood moon is how the game clears the cache
I don't think this changes weapons that respawn though because I been trying to force respawn vis blood moon but only get the same stuff I always have
@@bigmike9486 throw away the weapon, then do the glitch
@@bigmike9486 yeah you can't have it in your because the way the soldiers are coded
Nope I started a new play through and found a royal weapon, every blood moon I can go back a grab the royal weapon in the depths
Well I'll be a monkeys uncle...this works! Thanks for the info!!!!
Sorry if he already mentioned this but I just learned about the awesome ability the Forest Dweller Weapon line has. Any “bursting” fused items can be reused as if they were the elemental stones when attached. It’s like infinite dazzlefruits or puffshrooms! The pristine and buffed versions are excellent when tackling large groups.
Yeah I had a durability up Forest Dweller Spear with a Muddle Bud that I used for big groups like Boss Bokoblin groups and then just go run and hide as they kill each other lol
Can't wait to try this!
Wow this is the most likes I’ve ever had 😂 thanks everyone. I love using Puffshrooms, easy stealth kill on entire groups 😎
Only organic matter tho
You worded that really well for month old knowledge. Most people have been saying it makes one time use fuses infinite but that doesn’t work for every one time use like the ancient blade (kinda obviously) so it’s probably only the bursting kind like ya said but I’ve never heard anyone use that exact word
I know you said you don't like using the rito weapons but have you tried the single hand sword with the wind effect fused with any of the element fused mats because when they blow enemies away they also spray fire, electricity, ice ect ect. and if you don't actually make contact with the blade they last forever and are just super cool utility.
Hot (or cool/shocking) tip - thanks!
@@captain_britain love blowing enemies away to get some distance to blow them up with bomb arrows
@@captain_britain bro got the triple pun
marry me
I've been looking for that rito sword
bro, i would probably be on the great sky island without austin
Hahaha me to!
I wish you a great time
Goofy ahhs
Me to ha
That's funny 😂
I really wish they had expanded the types of icons we can put down. They improved it EVER so slightly & that honestly wasn't enough. I was constantly wishing we had icons for the 3 different weapon types including a Bow & Shield Icon, & am kind of surprised they didn't give that to us. There are several little things like this that I feel they could still improve upon in this game.
Like being able to dye better
Would've also been nice if they gave us more than 300 pins. The pins they gave us suggest that they wanted to mark down everything from Koroks to ore deposits to bosses to even cooking pot locations and though the korok pins are going to be only temporary, knowing where to get boss materials and pristine weapons is incredibly valuable and you'll most likely reach the pin caap before marking everything down, which seriously sucks. They should've made the pin cap at least 500, maybe 600 and while we're talking about improvements, allow us to place different colored pins, like give us the option of changing the standard yellow pins to say, red, blue, green, orange or purple that way we can differentiate between say, a Frox, a Gleeok and a Lynel, they also wouldn't have to make pins for the different weapons either 'cause you could just dedicate a color in your head to each weapon type, it'd be such versatile and useful feature, yet it's such a simple addition.
@@blazingdude11 I mean this limitation can be a good thing, a good memory training, most of the things I don't even have marked because they are my normal farmspots, I know exactly where they are.
@@claudiahelmer4706 Maybe so, but I have huge memory problems, I usually have to open up my map 3 times just to remember which way I was going, so in that regard it absolutely sucks, especially since nothing was apparently stopping them from upping that cap.
@@blazingdude11 that's the same for me, but if i repeat something often enough i don't need the marker anymore and use it for something else. besides, it can also be a kind of game, maybe it's deliberately chosen by the developers so that you learn to set priorities.
According to datamining there are only three regions that royal guard versions of weapons can spawn. The biggest is the one Austin went to in this video. There are four where royal versions can spawn.
mind sharing the link/locations for the royal suite? i have been hunting for them with no luck and seems youtubers just not interested in covering them
I'm also interested in hearing where pristine royal weapons can be found if you can let us know.
Can you please tell us where to find royal weapons ive been looking for a really durable weapon for a while now
There's a section to the East of Hyrule field but West of the Zora where I got mine.
Found them in PhillybeatzU’s vid, AJP had a link to it. The same places where he got the royal guard suite, if you broke royal gloomed weapons before hand the pristine version spawns and his vid actually showed them
The depths scared me so much that I avoided all those weapons terrified that it was a trap.
they're more afraid of you, nothing to be scared of. Even if its a trap, once triggered you learn
As the song goes, "We were meant to be courageous."
Lmao I could see that but then again when you think about it if it was a trap why would the depths be littered with em when you only fall for a trap once. I don’t think it even crossed my mind but I probably should’ve considered that considering how many games put trap mimic chests in
I will always be astounded by the quality/number of videos you're able to produce, in a short amount of time, AND the amount of progress you make.
You know... I like that you're not like other youtubers. You test things before posting about them and you go the extra mile by answering all the possible questions we may have. I wanted to know where to find pristine yiga and royal weapons and you covered every type of weapon so thanks
We all eating with these Pristine Weapons
One thing to note is the I believe the stacks of stones the weapons are found on are called cairn(s) which are man made stacks of rocks for the purpose of a navigation or burial marker
This would tie into the lore of the game. A lot of the things we thought were dead (The temple bosses among other things) appear in the depths. Maybe the people of Hyrule buried their dead in the depths, hoping that maybe they would be revived by the magic in the depths. That’s my theory anyway.
My favorite area of the entire game. Rip to the soldiers who’s souls have been waiting, for Hylia knows how long, for Link to grab these weapons so they can rest.
Imagine waiting since the calamity or earlier only for him to appear, grab your weapon then just throw it away like trash.
@@ViridianFlow Sprit: Am I a joke to you?
Link: Bruh I’m just here to farm weapons.
*spirit flips Link the bird as he dissipates into the ether*
Link: He is lucky he’s not a Korok!
May I disagree on the chasm?
@@ms.pirate of course, not everyone has the same experience in games. It’s okay to not like things that others do.
There’s a royal guards claymore in the eventide depths too.
I got a decayed cobble crusher from one of the coliseums. And a little bit later I found a pristine cobble crusher and I'm almost certain that I never broke a cobble crusher
it might be just obtaining a weapon then
Same for me, but with a royal guards sword. Im pretty sure I never got a decayed one, and I picled up a pristine one from the depths (I want to say I was in the zoras domain area)
@@Lv-nq9qz Do you use Amiibos? I'm thinking that that might be why
@@atreestump nope, havent used any amibos
No you’re correct I was seriously just thinking about this, it’s been on my mind a lot lately bei struggled to get the royal guard claymore. And then I suddenly realized that I received loads of weapons from soldiers in the depths I never received much less broke decayed versions. It appears this is all very complicated
I got my Pristine Eightfold Longblade from a Side Quest from a Yiga Blade Master behind a waterfall in Gerudo Canyon. Basically he has you put 5 mighty banana's at certain places where frog statue's are, after you do it there will be a Ruby, Pristine Eightfold Blade, and a shrine.
That's really neat! Do you have coordinates for where to find this waterfall or shrine or whatever?
@@JoshuaHardy honestly I never looked at them lol, but it's not hard to miss. It's a waterfall in the gerudo canyon, you'll notice a half tunnel/walk way behind it. Just go behind it and you'll see an indention and that's the door, put on your yiga get up and start it. It's up high so if you are in the air you''ll see it if you are cruising through the canyon. It's before the Stables.
Big thanks my friend 🙏
Very well put together video as usual Austin. I think the only thing to add is that they have a chance to spawn any weapon of the type they hold. As an example the first one you showed with the broadsword it would be possible for him to have any one handed weapon in the game once you have found and broken a decayed variant a lower chance of happening. Least that's my understanding, obviously under the Gerudo area you would have a higher chance of finding Gerudo weapons once you'd found the decayed versions and broken them.
Glad to see more Zelda videos Austin thanks for helping me and a lot of other Zelda players grind and get good loot over the course of Tears of the Kingdom keep up the good work
Bro I've been farming your TOTK stuff so much, that I snaped my fingers with you during the intro... Great video as always
I’ve been hunting these down for days on my own and struggling and Austin John comes in like he always does and saves me. I love this man’s content. I’ve been here since Pokemon Sword and Shield and all this time later the man is still saving me hours of suffering 😂😂😂😂
I found a pristine Eightfold Blade in the depths without ever having one, and also found a pristine Zora sword without previously breaking one. The zora sword was way up on a crazy high cliff with nothing else around, and the eightfold was with a horde of other weapons next to a colosseum/arena thing so not sure if that had anything to do with it.
Plus, what if you head to the depths early on, and spawn every soldier without even exploring or looting any of the weapons up top? Are you just stuck forever with traveler's weapons in the depths haha, I don't think that could be true.
@@geoffreygarrett6761 You're not stuck forever with traveler's weapons in that case. You're only stuck with them until you remove them from the statue. After you remove it, the weapon type gets re-rolled after the next blood moon when you approach the statue.
I wonder if youre "level" in the game has something to do with it too. Like, once you get to a certain point, you start finding better weapons
Thanks so much I watched this video and went to a two handed soldier you showed and got a pristine royal guard claymore with attack up 10 first try!!!! This earned you a sub and a like, keep up the good work
Kinda ironic that you find non gloom effected weapons in the most gloom effected place
That confused me too when i first started
Ironic, isn’t it
You uploaded this right as I was about to look for videos about this, perfect timing.
I’ve explored under the Rito and found lots of Royal weapons. Not any of the Rito weapons since I don’t like them, maybe that’s why the area has become a literal gold mine to me.
Excellent video!
I just want to say thank you so much for your advice on Lynel hunting! I've gotten so proficient at it I can kill a silver Lynel in about a minute.
Also: once you find the pristine weapon of the weapons they unlock in the pool of amiibo(if you have them or the etsy cards etc) i found this out trying to get a few items to stock up and randomly gotten a pristine knight sword from rider link.
Actually, the amiibo always have a shot for pristine. You can get them no matter what. It's just super rare.
@@JamesJNothingIsTooSensitive i didn't get them in the pool til AFTER i found them in the game ie the depths its how i found out; i was literally trying to get the paraglides for a bit and after i broke...i think it was the knights broadsword decayed? i got the pristine on one of my link amiibos
@@OsamuWuVT I've received pristine weapons from amiibos long before I found any pristine versions in the Depths. The other poster is correct.
I was just looking at the vid then went back to my switch to use the circle in circle technique and I got the sword first try also the royal broad sword and two of the one handed versions of the two swords . TYSM Austin your a goat man
Glad we can always count on Austin to help us out!
Good timing I’ve been lighting up the underground for the past 3 hours (very nearly done)
I found a pristine Gerudo scimitar the other day, combined it with one of my silver lynel horns and got a weapon that does over 130 damage
Also, could you look into whether you get more total damage from a weapon that has durability up, or one that has damage up?
The gerudo weapons feature a "strong fusion" trait that increases the attack of anything yiu fuse to it. The silver lynel horn is already a powerful fusion, so the gerudo weapon bumped it even higher.
I had already seen your friend’s video about pristine weapons, but after watching yours, it really clicked. Well done, and thank you!
thanks for making this video Austin, its been really helpful looking for the pristine weapons I really want
Pristine anything Gerudo plus your highest attack material. It doubles the attack of the attached material. A pristine gerudo scimitar plus silver lynel horn is like 127 attack. honestly, even non-pristine ones are great since the double is only to the material. makes decayed ones only like 10 less attack overall.
Edit: My thanks to you sir. I had done quite a few laps looking for pristine gerudo weapons, and had only managed to nab a +10 scimitar. Could not find the others. Then i watched the vid, immediately broke a claymore and a spear (hadn't used them at all because i misunderstood the special ability initially), and went back down. 30 minutes of fumbling around for ones i hadn't already picked clean and I now have a +10 gerudo claymore, +10 gerudo spear, and +10 royal guard claymore to go with the scimitar. Wonderful vids man.
I wasn’t aware of the connection between the decayed weapons and their pristine counterparts, plus the spawn rules. I am definitely going to break in every new decayed weapon I get and grab the ghosts’ weapons whenever possible.
I'm kind of doubtful that is actually a thing. I've never seen anyone explain how they know you need to break them. Plus, I'm pretty sure I've gotten pristine weapons without having broken a decayed counterpart.
I was literally on my way to your channel with this in mind specifically. Great timing. Thank you very much
This is so helpful! Would love to see a video on your bone prof build you seem to be running…as always love your vids man. Stellar.
Nintendo really needs to expand the number of map icons, as well as blow up that 300 limit to probably 500. Too many classes of things to mark on the map given the small assortment of icons to choose from.
Hey man, you prob wont see this, but your tutorials help me a LOT keep up the good work.
I feel like not a lot of budget was allocated to the Stamp-Creation Team.
My personal top usage of pins is:
1. I see a shrine - I pin it. But I don't wanna keep a pin in use so I replace it with a gem stamp because there is no stamp for shrines...
2. I see a korok bro that I don't wanna deal with yet, I stamp it with a leaf.
3. Use the skull for a overworld boss.
4. Treasure box when my sensor is telling me somewhere near above or below and I don't wanna go hunting at the moment.
NEVER ONCE have I come across a cooking pot and thought to to myself "I need to stamp this. Pots are super rare and I never know when I'll come across one again." Stars and the diamond-in-a-diamond are somewhat useful for marking general places of interest or unfinished quests but also awkward because they aren't descriptive enough to help me remember exactly why I marked them later.
Some suggestions for future Zelda game stamps: SHRINE! Shrines are the number one thing! How is there not a dedicated Shrine stamp? A Check Mark (✔). A Question Mark (❔). A "To Do" Stamp (can just be a little 2x2 "To" on the top and "Do" on the bottom). Up/Down/Left/Right arrows so we can create little path routes (↑↓←→). X and O Stamps (✖〇). Lastly just regular numbers (①②③ etc..)
Hey Austin!! Thank you so much for these video’s
I’m always so stunned by how quickly you get accurate and helpful information out, thank you so much for always putting out the most relevant information in an easy to digest way! I hope you look after your health while you’re on the grind my dude ❤🎉
Something I've noticed about the dragons is that Fast Travel jumps them along their routes. Could this be manipulated to find them easily, or do they just get jumped to a section of their path that's deliberately far from the player?
EDIT: Also, following this guide and the power 194 weapon guide, you can get a Pristine Royal Guard's Claymore and make a completely legit 208 power weapon. The strongest weapon without glitches. Though this would become 416 on the breaking hit, since breaking a weapon does double damage, and a crit would do double damage again, so it's an 832 damage weapon, if you break it on a crit.
EDIT 2: Something else I noticed is that BOTW and TOTK are set in a completely new timeline, rather than the OOT Adult timeline. This timeline does closely follow OOT, only, it has no Hero of Time (which makes the armour sets weird). There are likely other differences.
BotW and TotK take place so far into the future that ALL of the other Zelda games have "faded into legend" (there was a Zora slab in BotW that explicitly talked about Princess Ruto from OoT, who was said to have existed even before the original Calamity and the creation of the Divine Beasts, so from just this we can assume that BotW takes place 10,000 years AFTER the last Zelda game(s) in the timeline before BotW's release). There are also references to every other Zelda game in BotW, so I'm guessing the three timelines somehow merged into one, hence why things from each of the three timelines are able to exist within the same game (the Great Gerudo Skeleton is the Windfish from Link's Awakening, from the Fallen Timeline; there's Lake Lulu and Lake Mikau north of Zora's Domain, and the statue of Darmani in Goron City, from Majora's Mask in the Child Timeline; Vah Medoh is named after Medli from The Wind Waker in the Adult TImeline, as well as the existence of the Rito and the description for Rock Salt mentioning an ancient sea; plus certain DLC items being things straight from other Zelda games, like Zant's Helmet, the Island Lobster Shirt, and Ravio's Hood)
The number doesn't change but if you get a weapon down to last hit and then use it exclusively for lynel backstabbing it'll do double damage and last forever, and it stacks with breaking point for infinite durability 832 damage.
You... don't know what you're talking about. The dragons don't move when you warp - I have warped in order to get closer to them multiple times when I saw them near a shrine.
Also, the timeline thing? You have *_no clue_* what you're on about.
I got that weapon lol, but I’m pretty sure you can make a higher dps weapon using molduga weapon and armor with bone attack up, though it will show a smaller number.
@@Sarah_H Except the "somehow merged" part doesn't have any evidence to support it. Plus, given how the items from other games have no impact or connection to BoTW's and ToTK's storylines, you can just as easily say they are just out-of-world references.
Plus 1 of the great skeletons matches none of the games. And if the timelines merged, there'd be a lot of conflict. Such as the master swords, the triforces, multiple incarnations of demise's hatred existing at once, the 4 sword, vaati, etc.
There are more problems with the combined timeline theory than a new timeline.
Also, it's pretty likely that Nintendo is using a new timeline since the previous one was confusing. Also, there are events in ToTK's flashback that occur at the same time OoT would take place.
Man I've been waiting for a video like this, thank you!
Thanks this helps a lot I’ve been looking for a prestine zora long sword and sword for the longest ❤
I got royal boardsword last night. I am furry rush person so it is very handy. easy to repair compare to the seven gerudo sword.
For the longest time I avoided the weapons in the depths because from a distance it looked like some terrifying shadow enemy....then I realized it was just free weapons lol
I appreciate this video,
I found it helpful.
Thank you AustinJohn. 💚
12:17 "super easy barely an inconvenience. " Awesome pitch meeting reference!
Wow wow wow wow………… wow! People who love both Ryan George’s and Austin’s content are TIGHT!
Side note on modifiers: you can reroll them by feeding them to a rock octoroc if you get your 500th long throw royal broadsword
i find a zora spear fused with the dusk claymore to bee very powerful just throw a splash fruit on yourself before a battle. got really good range as well.
Only problem is that Rock Octoroks won't repair special weapons like Disk Claymore right? Just instantly spit it back out.
@@probably_afk They will repair them if they are fused to as the blade to a repairable weapon's handle. You just have to pay for the goron NPC in Tarrey Town, to take it apart when you are done.
@@JoshuaHardyyou could fuse a very terrible weapon to it and just destroy the fused item
If your inventory is full, you don't have to drop something to remove it from the soldier. Just use Ultrahand, grab it from the soldier, drop it on the ground if you don't want it. Works just as well. I personally don't like the Zora weapons, because they only do good damage if you're wet, and that's just another thing to keep track of. My go-to weapons are the Royal ones since I'm great at flurry rushes. And I also keep 1 Royal Guard weapon, with the highest damage fuse I can find, and keep it one hit away from breaking, and use it exclusively when on the back of a lynel when it can't break.
15:40 bro the music just goes along with how he opens the depths map and it just goes TSSSSSSS
Awesome vid. Not so sure about having to break a decayed weapon before running across the pristine ones. I've come across 2 swords I know I've never seen before. Though they may be an exception to the rule, because of specificity. One was Biggoron's sword. The other was a sword that had a gloom effect, not sure of the name. Love all the videos. Keep it up
Those are exceptions. Biggoron's sword is obtained from a specific treasure chest in the Depths, after which you can buy more Biggoron Swords by trading Poes to the Bargainer Statues. As for the Gloom Sword, those are dropped by defeating a Phantom Ganon, which appears after defeating Gloom Hands. Note that Phantom Ganons can appear wielding Gloom Swords (1-handed), Gloom Clubs (2-handed), and Gloom Spears.
@@CalvinCopyrightbut I think he is correct that there are some weapons you can receive pristine versions before breaking the decayed version. Like if you immediately went down to the depths before getting a chance to break a travelers we all know they’d have travelers at least. But I also know that I specifically received a pristine cobble crusher before ever breaking a decayed version. And I received a pristine Zora spear before encountering another zora spear at all. I also heard people elaborating that you have to break the UNfused version of a weapon before pristine will spawn. So much conflicting information hard to say who’s right. I think what’s going on is we all tend to naturally set these flags unintentionally to allow pristine to spawn and that’s making it difficult to figure out what each exact flag is
surprised you didnt cover just normal royal weapons. Can definitely get them down there too, accidentally came across a pristine royal sword while running around
Do you remember where it was? I've been hunting for it
@@johnwilkins6308 not exactly but it was around the korom lightroot
@@FabledEnigma Thank you so much I just found it exactly where you said! Been looking for it for a while too
Have u guys found any of the other ones?
I found a pristine royal claymore near the Herba Dark Skeleton just now.
I’ve played for 70-something hours now and just now went into the depths for the first time lol it was always so intimidating & scary to me! Thanks for the help AJ, yet again your kick ass videos are helping me have even more fun playing this amazing game!
Was waiting for these for so long
So what kind of damage does the pristine royal guards claymore do with a lynel saber on it? Is it significantly better than the other video you did?
208 damage
“There’s no Goron spear“ sad drillshaft noises
Unfortunately the mighty drillshaft isn't in TOTK
Location also matters when it comes to finding good, hightier weapons. My advice go to the dephs below the gerudo highlands. It's chock full of royal, royal gaurd weapons and gerudo weapons. It also has good spawn rate for hightier weapons.
Austin, I’m so glad you made a video on this seeing how I made a comment on a recent video asking for clarification on ghost soldiers, and as usual, you certainly delivered! Thank you.
Is it actually necessary to break a decayed version of a weapon? I used the only decayed cobble crusher I found to make the boulder breaker but I still managed to find a pristine one. Although the game might count that as "breaking" it.
Unclear yet for certain. I farmed for an hour one knight for the pristine royale claymore and hadn't gotten it once even though I was pretty sure I've broken at least one previous that was fused. After going and breaking one on it's own I went back to the same knight and got it within 3 resets. Could've just been a coincidence but so far it seems about right. As I've never used or found any rito or korok weapons at all underground or above
I have an off-topic question regarding the Lurelin village side quest. I freed the village of pirates and fixed the whole village, I also built the tourist attraction and informed the merchant couple at Lookout Landing and helped the husband to get a boat.. everybody is happy (we even had a feast) - still Purah tells me the village is overrun by pirates. Is it only for me or do others also experience that?
I'd say it's glitched
You need to go check out what was Eventide Isle in BotW. There's another pirate ship there you have to clear out to keep Lurelin safe.
@@Melnihr Are you sure about that? I would expect her to say something different then. I will try it later after work 😉
@@Melnihr I just did the .. Isle formerly known as Eventide and unfortunately that doesn't fix it - but it was fun to do anyway 😉
This was eye opening. I'd been avoiding the soldiers because I kept finding the same weapons. Didn't realize you had to clear their inventory.
I find the value in the Rito swords to be in attaching elemental materials (particularly frost). Then it sends out a blast of the element when swung, allowing you to freeze enemies at a bit of a distance. You can do this with the eightfold longblade too, but since one-handed weapons are so much faster, I prefer the Rito swords.
I love the eightfold weapons for sneak attacks since they do extra sneakstrike damage
How much extra though? I wish we had a way to see our damage
@@hebercluff1665 I believe in the botw it was around 3x normally and with the blade an additional 1.5. I might have those reverse mind you. I don't use sneak that often if I can help it
@@k0nar1k55 thanks. I'm just trying to figure out if gerudo infused weapons are better for sneak attacking, due to their high damage.
If eightfold weapons only deal an extra 50% damage, then they're not as good as gerudo weapons for sneak attacking.
@@hebercluff1665Gerudo weapons will break far more often.
Very low durability.
@@grantlawrence4600 well, yes. However, if you're just using them for sneak attacks (one strike at the beginning of the battle then switching them out) they'll still last a very long time.
I'm a bit confused about 100% compendium completion right now. Are there any entries you can miss, like the Kite Sheild and basic Lynel set from BotW? I remember watching a certain Nintendo guide UA-cam channel *wink wink* discussing this in BotW, and I got upset when I realized I missed some.
I don't think I can ever see a blue lyonal again so yeah I think
You can buy any compendium entries you may have missed in hateno
@@immortaliron2475but what about farming horns
@@Werkzeug-100 For enemies at least, there will ALWAYS be one of each type on the map. That' why you'll notice red bokoblins among a group of silver.
@@User-cd5bc I love how even the bosses spawn in the depths if you missed taking their picture in the temples.
Thanks,
Definitely will look for the royals guard swords
Also a nice thing about getting the decayed weapons like the zora spear you mentioned. You can get the regional variants from like likes in that area
Why am I still scared of the depths after 50 hours in totk lol
If you cook meals with the sundelion you can cure gloom damage to make the depths less dangerous.
Assuming that the 8x modifier for sneakstrikes carries over to TOTK and Eightfold Longblades further amplify the bonus, fusing something strong to them might be the key to cranking out even higher damage than the bone build with the RGC.
longblades are windcleavers now sadly
@@paulrance5445 they always were windcleavers
Only the one handed eight folds do the extra bonus.
But yes, potentially could do a molduga jaw fuse + bone proficiency + attack up + sneakstrike for massive damage, though that seems like it may need a sneak food buff to get close then change to attack up for the hit.
The evil spirit armor has that set bonus and each piece is sneaky.
You could also change from sneaky armor to the radiant armor once you sneak up.
Thank you so much, now I can fill my loadout with INSANE weapons!
Thanks for this, AJ!
Does getting the Pristine versions of the Zora Spear/Gerudo Scimitar/Cobble Crusher affect their legendary version in any way? Higher base damage/durability for example? Or does the construction of the legendary weapon keep the enchantment on the upgraded version?
the *Champion version, and not from my findings.
@@AustinJohnPlays do you know if you can buy broken legendary weapons
Following this guide and your Strongest Weapon guide, I have a +9 pristine royal guard claymore that deals 206 damage! Just need that extra point to make it possibly THE strongest weapon in the game
Update: I finally got a +10 damage modifier and now it’s at 208
Been waiting for this one
Thanks for the videos!
So wait, does this mean the RGC + Silver Lynel Horn combo can now be even stronger??!
Yes
That's old school already. RGC+Molduga Jaw with bone proficiency armor is better. And now that people are starting to become aware of the Eightfold Blade and Puffshroom Korok weapon combo, I think that's going to be the new meta (sneak attacks had crazy multipliers in botw).
@@gruiaolaru511 bosses can't be sneak attacked
@@gruiaolaru511 better, so long as the person also has the +3 attack food buff.
@@gruiaolaru511 What do you mean by "Puffshroom Korok"? A Korok Frond fused with a Puffshroom?
Just added my pristine royal guard's claymore with an attack up +10 boost to my silver lynel saber horn and hit it to make a 208 damage weapon! Most in the game I believe, and with that last hit ×2 multiplier, I have a 416 damage weapon, freaking insane!
Your videos are very helpful thank you 🙂🙃
The wind elemental is great in combination with ice if you're near water. Not the most frequent setting for combat but freezing + pushing + drowning enemies is a great strategy that handles crowds effectively
I decided to test the durability differences between the lightscale trident and a pristine zora spear (one with +10 attack and one with the orange durability up) all with a saber lynel horn while not wet by slamming on the ground to figure out the best of the 3.
Lightscale trident with silver lynel horn: 92 hits before the badly dmg pop up
Zora spear with silver lynel horn + 10 dmg: 62
Zora spear with silver lynel horn + orange durability up: 72
Assuming I didn't miss count that means with durabilty up you're trading an additional 20 dmg (when wet) for only an additional 10 hits. So if you plan on using zora spears it's 100% better to aim for +10 attack since when compared to the lightscale trident you only lose 2 dmg and 30 hits as opposed to the durability up spear where you're giving up 20 dmg and a difference of 20 hits before breaking.
if comparing just the zora spears with eachother total dmg done before reaching badly dmg is 9,424 (+10) vs 9,504 (durability up orange) which in this instance a difference of only 80 total dmg. So at least for zora weapons dmg up seems the best way to go.
You can actually get a royal guards claymore and get a 208 damage weapon if it almost breaks so you can melt through lynels!
S tier content as always. Thanks for all the help!
Got the pristine royal guard claymore first time with the one you got it from, thanks austin😊
You can use Ultrahand or if feeling annoyed climbing these, just Recall the weapon and the ghost despawns. Keep in mind you have to be around 10 meters otherwise Recall does nothing.
I wish the pristine weapons had the damage they had in botw
Botw is better anyway. It has wolf link.
I do too but imagine how broken pristine royal/roayal guard weapons + lynel parts would be if they were still as strong
This is honestly such an intuitive mechanic! Another amazing addition to the game, good job nintendo! Also great video, Austin!!
Thank you for making this vid cuz I was hunting for a pristine royal guards claymore to fuse with my silver lynel saber to use for my lynel hunting
First
Incredible game definitely was not expecting the depths as content and as a mechanic
Thank you Austin for pumping out these videos I hope you enjoyed playing this as much as a lot of us are🥰
FYI, the Triple Weapon ghosts are directly beneath memorials on the surface, aka old memory locations from Breath of the Wild
I found three of those grave thingies on the surface, and they’re not where memories were in Breath of the Wild.
