EVEN _MORE_ tips are right here, including zora weapons and their very _moist_ attributes 🤭
ua-cam.com/video/a3LeX0WPu9o/v-deo.html
Nice tip on the advice to try the building feature but sadly I am afraid wasting the building items because after all, they are not that common like lets say weapons, so I end up just ignoring the building feature at all, maybe rarely I am using it to build something to overcome an obstacle. This is how I sadly also play RPGs, rarely using consumables. Thats how I play and its hard to change the play style :\
what is wrong with you
Here's a tip eating food heals you
Building is by far the worst thing in the game. I hate that Zelda is getting further and further from being a Zelda game.
@@n1nj4l1nk what is wrong with you
Fun tip I found myself, if you’re having trouble navigating the depths and haven’t lit a light tree you can use the overworld map to see what the terrain around you is like, the ground level and depths are flipped versions of the map. You can also use the light trees to find the shrines you may not have found yet as they’re also placed in the same places
This is very useful info! I _kinda_ figured the depths mirrored the overworks but didn’t know exactly how. So you can pretty much navigate the depths how you would the overworked, good to know 🫡
@@Wisdomv3 It is very very similar to the surface. I've since gathered all 120 lightroots, and it helps to know at the very least that water forms impassible walls. There's a few chasms which are hidden from view on the surface, and bottomless pits and surrounding water can tend to suggest these conditions when you cannot find a way through in the depths.
With terrain, it is as they said: the ground level and depths are "flipped". Mountains form pits, and pits form mountains. There are some exceptions, namely for certain boss arenas which demand a lot of vertical or flat space. There are also a ton of roots around which may hinder or aid in traversal. Generally speaking, though, the best areas for picking up a stalhorse are going to be under Hyrule Field and Gerudo Desert-- the two flattest and most expansive areas of the surface.
There's also a third "mirror" aspect, though, that doesn't get mentioned as much and is critically useful for anyone who's looking for more forge constructs:
1. Almost all major towns have a respective large mine under them. There are a few notable exceptions (namely, no mine under lookout landing or korok forest and an extra mine under the Temple of Time on the Great Plateau).
2. On a similar note, stables tend to be accompanied by a Lynel in the depths. At the very least, it doesn't seem to be that any lynels can spawn elsewhere aside from the infamous Floating Coliseum and one lone lynel in the depths of the castle.
@@gammaboy4568 I knew about that first one cause one of the constructs tells you (can’t remember which one) but that second one is also pretty interesting. Also thank you for going in depth with the mirroring of the maps I did forget about the boss arenas and some of the light root locations changing the terrain.
@@gammaboy4568 also i think the poe statues are all under the goddess statues
@@Kobob_KC Interesting, there was one thing I noticed on this front:
There are "wellsprings" which contain poe statues under all the major "springs" on the surface. As for the rest of the statues, I'll have to check that out. There are 4 which I know for certain follow this trend, but most other goddess statues are found within towns-- areas which have their own parallel in the depths and are not always accompanied by a bargainer.
fun fact lightblooms attract frox, so when you return to the depths you can often find them nibbling on them if theyre on the ground
Some people pointed this out to me already, but thanks for the extra info!
Even funner fact, you can feed them to the big froxes to stun them when they inhale
@@davidson6738that's really cool.
I'll throw like 20 on the ground next to the frox spawning zone after killing one so when I come back they're always eating.
I found that out the hard way my first jump into the depths, I shot a large brightbloom seed down and turns out I was landing right in front of a Frox who ate it and then ate me
When you kill a frox you loot the lightblooms it ate, that’s why they drop them
That last tip is nice to know. Neat that they carried that from the older games from N64
If no one got me, Nintendo paying homage to their older games got me 🫡
3:20 you’re a 100% right and I think that’s something I am missing from my gameplay. Thank yoy
For the tip!
Other good Fusions:
Honeycomb + Magic Rod/Staff/Sceptre
Muddle Bud/Puffshroom/Dazzlefruit + Forest Dweller weapon
Colgera Pincer + Pristine Zora Greatsword (when soaked)
Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your content. It seems like 90% of the new tears of the kingdom content is just the same stuff recycled in slightly different orders. I appreciate the creative approach, the insight, and just how you present everything. Keep up the good work. Oh, maybe give your videos a few more seconds with the end card(s) :)
Thanks for that man, I really do appreciate it. I’ve noticed that as well where a lot of the top content is just recycled information, which is weird cuz people don’t seem to mind it, so I try to bring a creative and humorous approach to my videos. I have a lot more in the works which I’m very excited to release soon!
Also I’ll extend the end cards by a bit ;)
if a royal guards claymore is at 3 durablility (weapon is about to break) then it doubles its damage, but if its at 1 durability (2 hits after the weapon is about to break) it doubles the damage again, sadly the game doesn't tell you this, also weapons don't take damage, if your back striking a lynel.
it also doesn't say that it did double your damage again
For the bike, just place a fan down flat, then tilt the stick 45 degrees backward and attach. Then attach the second fan to the titled stick. Much easier.
You should mention those frog things that lunge at you will seek out and eat bright bloom seeds...don't ask how I know and if you don't believe me use one right in front of it and back up they will intentionally try to eat it
Yea I tested this out and was surprised to see they did lol. Lowkey tho, you could use a small bright bloom as bait to make the fight a bit easier, thanks for mentioning this!
I played BOTW so much I end up being capable of farming lynels doing 100% of perfect parries during a fight, and the knight sword is so good for me, but I just wish there was a weapon that doubles dmg when you do a perfect parry
That would make parries SO much cooler. I’d like to do a video on that where I delve into the usefulness of parries, I’m sure that would be helpful
@@Wisdomv3 coming back to this, about yesterday, I found out a particular way to make parries a little bit more useful and rewarding.
If you mix a shield with the light dragon's claw (most likely also the fang), when you hit an enemy it will also heal you, but keep in mind you need to be like really close to the enemy so it does the effect, so when you parry there's no dmg to the shield, basically a free 1/4 of heart. The thing is that it's kinda impractical.
Puffshrooms make clearing out camps easy. Toss one, sneakstrike everyone. Rinse and repeat.
I put that in my latest tips video of fuse recycling and puff shrooms, it’s actually insane in terms of utility
Discord for those interested in discussing more about tears! (peak game)
discord.gg/DJujdWQ5aA
Actually bone weapons are the meta of the game. This is because you can just add bones to any good weapon and radiant armor increases damage by 1.8x. This can be stacked with the bonus of the gerudo weapons and attack buffs. Wearing basic attack buff armor like the fierce diety and barbarian armor doesn't stack with damage food while radiant armor does and you still get health unlike knight armor.
I haven't really seen anyone talk about knights armor stacking with attack buffs. Then again why would you when bone weapons are incredibly convenient and cheap and can already 3 shot a silver lynel.
Yikes, that’s just overkill on damage 😭 tbf that seems like it would 3 shot a silver lynel, but even saying that sounds insane lol. Something about one tapping everything doesn’t appeal to me ironically since I do like pushing damage numbers, but want to have a good fight if that makes any sense.
Either way, I do like the knight weapons unique trait, but I’ll have to at least try out the radiant armor stacking like you mentioned
Yo thanks so much these tips rlly helped!
No problem! Glad that they helped! Which one was the most helpful one to u? I heard some people didn’t know about the satori tree one
@@Wisdomv3 I found the brightbloom seed one most useful because I didn’t realise they stayed there. I also liked the Star spear one that was useful as well
@@BigBakes_ yea the bright bloom one is huge for the underground, it makes flying around that much easier. And the star rod is something I recently found out, it’s pretty cool that’s even an option. Totk just gets better by the day lol
@@Wisdomv3 ye Fr tho I’m always finding new materials to fuse to weapons and new ways to use rewind to my advantage 😂 I’m loving it so far, and I’ve definitely spent more time in the depths than anywhere else
@@BigBakes_ same! Just the other day I put a mushroom to a weapon and it became a bouncy bat lmao, sending people across hyrule with one swing. I’ve been in the sky islands and underground mostly, I love making vehicles filled to the brim with batteries to traverse lol
Dazzle fruit can destroy any skeleton type monster. I’ve done this to destroy groups of stalkoblins and a stalnox in skull cave lake while I hid & took no damage 😂😂😂
I ALSO LOVEE GIVING VICIOUS BACKSHOTS TO LYNALS
ANOTHER BROTHER JOINS THE KINGDOM ‼️🗣🗣🗣🗣
2:34 im mad i recognize that sound effect. Lol
Don’t be mad, we all love dark souls here \o/
For the knight weapons: If you don't wanna risk dying and have the rupees, put one something from the Mystic Set that way you don't lose that one heart
I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS! It’s extremely helpful in staying at low hp range just in case you get hit. Thanks, gonna pin this 🤞
@@Wisdomv3 Well, I have just been informed it does not negate ALL damage, just a percentage of it and the rest gets dealt to you. : \
@@JustAPrinnyDood bad day to be a mystic armor enjoyer 😓
At the very least, if the attack isn’t _strong_ enough to kill you, you will survive. At least it’s happened to me at times when I was on low hp
@@JustAPrinnyDood it negates all damage to a certain amount of rupees
It only negates 4 full hearts when wearing the full set.
attaching a brightbloom to every part of your Zonai contraption will keep it from despawning around 80% of the time.
edit: i know people keep saying "Dragon parts" but like who wants to waste expensive Dragon parts on a doohickey when i know for a fact you've got 300+ useless brightbloom seeds in your inventory right now
Really good to know! It’s like I forgot my zonai devices were supposed to despawn, cuz using bright blooms made them last SO much longer (at least in the depths)
@@Wisdomv3 if you dont use a zonai "body part" such as the cart or sled, then the devices last MUCH longer anyway. Its the "wing" Sled , Cart, ect that despawn screwing you. If you ride a hover bike like shown here, you can ride it from one side of Hyrule to the other with no despawn.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 hover bike actually does despawn eventually. It just takes a very long time. It was about 30 minutes of me flying around in the depths.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 I’ve never had a fan or steering stick respawn that wasn’t attached to a weapon or mineru and I used the dupe glitch to get hundreds of large zonai charges and followed the light dragon around the map so this totally tracks. I don’t even use any of the other vehicles because I hate the respawning of them. It takes away from the experience of the game to have to worry about EVERYTHING breaking
@@crisnmaryfam7344 p sure they are talking about it despawning while you aren't currently on it...
Fun fact, you can catch a star fragment mid flight!
I’ve done this twice, and I’ve only ever gotten 2 fragments.
Works on dragon bits, too
Yep. It’s a fairly common occurrence, it’s happened to me a few times as well
I have like 8 i love flying
Its def easier now than in botw
My record is about 7 caught mid-flight and most started to fall as I was falling right next to me so pretty damn lucky, kupo.
I did it once too! It was cool.
3:56 if you make it into lost woods, Koroc weapons have the trait where fused plants, Muddle Bud, Dazzle Fruit, Puff Shrooms, etc. all can be reused, after a hit it needs a second to recharge, like a spent gem, and then the fused item regrows on the Koroc weapon. I’ve taken down so many camps with Koroc Spear + Puffshroom, one poke smokebombs the whole camp, then I sneakstrike everyone with my Yiga Eightfold-Silver Lynel Horn blade.
This. Man, I've been wanting to make an arsenal with these. Even if you take it at face value, a forest dweller sword makes as much use of a chuchu jelly as you would expect from a lizal horn. Sounds like the best equipment to fuse cheap materials to for a short utility, since swapping the item on it doesn't demand much if you're using the right item.
However, I have to ask: does the shield exist, and does it work the same way? It could mean infinite bomb flower jump, or unlimited reactive puff shroom. All these videos about the "highest damage weapon" leave so much out of the picture, and I really want to see fuse put to more work here.
@@gammaboy4568 I think there’s a shield, but currently I have only encounter a sword and spear. Both taken from enemies in the woods, so I guess it’s by what they spawn with.
Thanks for this! This comment in particular is going in the next video, I appreciate the tip 🫶
Just remember to equip the forest weapons preemptively, as those start on cooldown instead of fully charged when you take them out.
@@crowsenpai5625 I don't think shields have any extra effects like other weapons in this game.
Lightblooms do not stay indefinitely. They can, but they won't if you continue throwing more of them. There is a limit, estimated somewhere between 200 to 300 blooms that can be in the world at one time. I had this happen myself at a specific place that I keep returning to, which I lit up with one large brightbloom. It had disappeared after many ingame days and much exploration in the underground.
Yea some other people pointed this out to me as well. Because I don’t use as much bright bloom seeds, it never happened to me where they were overwritten in the depths. Thanks for the clarification tho!
So I'm screwing myself using them to activate zonai constructs
thet also all despawn on a reload even if you saved after spawning them, so if you ever only put the game to sleep you can preserve them for longer
@@KaitouKaiju What do you mean by screwing? Do you rely on many of them staying active for a long time?
If you want to activate zonai devices, that won't take durability from your weapons (as long as you hit nothing solid at the same time)
Hmmm maybe the best idea is to stamp the location on the map?
the star magic wand was kind of what I was hoping you could do with diamonds seeing as they were basically light magic in botw for ancient lasers and stuff
Yea I wish diamonds did something on magic rods, a huge shame really that both light magic and the diamond are useless in terms of combat, since you’d probably wanna hold on to your diamond anyway as opposed to a weapon attachment
@@Wisdomv3 Try the light magic on the 'hands' of phantom ganon.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 I don't think the motes of light do damage, and I doubt that they would be effective on gloom as well.
On a strange side note, though, the Master Sword doesn't seem to care if Link is fighting Gloom Spawn but does awaken once Phantom Ganon appears.
@@gammaboy4568 weird
@@Wisdomv3they really missed an opportunity to have light damage be good against gloom enemies
Regarding the star fragments you can just go up the sky islands before night, wait for a falling star and dive after it and press a to collect it!
Yea some other people mentioned that, it’s such a cool feeling to fall with a star and catch it mid fall. Once again, totk is casually being peak 🫡
That’s actually how I got my first star fragment in the game. I was dumbfounded! So fun!
@@Wisdomv3 I thought I was the only one who thought catching a star mid flight was cool 😂 it happens so often and it's super fun! I love this game.
This is actually the way I got the one I grabbed legit (which I then duped to high heaven). I was in the middle of falling from a skyview tower when it spawned a few feet away from me and I stopped my previous goal because "I'm probably never gonna get a better chance than this."
I expected to chase a few feet after it the whole way and then grab it when it landed, but the game let me grab it like 50 feet in midair.
I tried that once but forgot to pay attention to my altitude and face-planted Link into the side of a mountain.
Instead of going 1 heart with knight weapons, you can just use Zora weapons and get the same 2x damage effect simply by being wet. You can use Sidon's ability or just throw a splashfruit at your feet.
Someone mentioned that earlier, I dismissed zora weapons a while ago but this might make me reconsider them. Zora long sword was my favorite weapon in botw, time to finally use it again 🫡
Kinda wish we could build a vat of water like davy jones in pirates of the caribbean now.
@@TheSUGA1202 You can create almost anything in TOTK 😅
Splash fruit for Zora weapons is a great tip, this video and comment section has been a gold mine.
I always keep a Zora weapon for rainy days.
Zora weapons are super nice too without the Knight requirement of being 1 Heart. There are ways to get yourself wet consistently, including something as simple as just tossing a splashfruit on yourself. Doubles both the base power and the fused item!
Edit: A fool is me, for not reading the comments first lmao. Had no idea about the Yiga windslash being changed to the element of whatever's attached though. It should have been obvious in hindsight, but that vision is 20/20. My foresight is like, 20/200 or something.
Yea I’ve heard about the zora weapons, gonna have to try those out and make a video on that too. I really thought it was trash but i was out here putting opal on the fusion, thinking it was gonna double the damage since it was wet (technically did but it went up by 2 damage 😭)
And yea yiga windslash is INSANELY cool, hopefully there’s some type of water fusion so you can do water slashes, cuz rn water magic is SO bad 😭
@@Wisdomv3 Take Attack Up buff meal or elixir then use Zora weapons with bone weapon fuse (i.e. Molduga Jaw) while wearing Radiant set with the level 2 buff for Bone Atk. Up and wet yourself with Sidon. The DPH is insane. I would go to the Floating Coliseum in the depths with only Sidon (for obvs reasons) and Tulin (somehow really good at disarming Lynels) active while sporting this weapon and armor and the 4:10 minute standard attack buff is more than enough to wipe all the Lynels including the armored one. Just remember to bring something to smash the armored one, and it’s all good.

@@Wisdomv3 Opal has a water effect
Might want to save your star fragments because you need them to upgrade a lot of armor
I’d agree, that’s why if you ever wanna use the star rod, be wary to detach it at tarrey town so you don’t break it
*laughs in holding 5 star fragments while gliding*

Jumps and opens glider
The first part about the Light Rod I actually knew about, but when you said "conserve your bright bloom seeds" I did a double take. I have the max limit of bbs in my inventory just by getting them when I'm in caves, no multiplying glitch necessary, and actually stopped building Light Rods cuz they were eating at my star shards, and now just use the bbs, so when you said that I really caught me off guard that someone would need to. Just a curious observation on my part.
Hey man sometimes a brotha (me) runs out of bright blooms so I gotta conserve (not that they aren’t plentiful lol). Also the star rod is really cool conceptually so I figured to add it in lol
@@Wisdomv3I thought it was cool to find out about ir, cause I hadn't thought of trying it. But I found it disappointing that apparently all they do is really... lighting up the scene.(I even came to the comment to see if there would be anything more to it.)
I also end up getting way more bbs than I actually need, so I guess I wouldn't risk losing a star fragment + using one weapon stash for this...
The Yiga 1h sword increases sneakstrike damage, which is absolutely insane with puffshrooms
Gonna have to try this, thank you!
Do you know what the multiplier is? The normal one is 8x
@@_Sloppyham I have heard it doubles it to 16x, but I'm not sure if that's actually correct or not.
@@GreatGozales92 I wish I could test it but they got rid of the numbers above enemy Health bars when using the champion shirt
@@_Sloppyham😢 damage numbers are the best and the champions tunic was 2nd best thing
Another tip for finding caves is to set the Purah sensor to Blupees. Blupees run towards cave openings and reveals caves for you. However some caves don't have corresponding Blupees.
Thank you! I’ll put this as a next tip and credit you 🤝
@GrnFzzTgr Every cave doesn't have one. Also I found it's better to mix match. Some caves have Blupees, some have Booblefrogs, some of one of the other, some have neither.
@@JohnboyTheGamerevery cave does have a bubblefrog. Finding it gives you the checkmark for the cave
@@zircov13 I've been in what is considered a cave with the Bubblefrog sensor on and there was none sometimes.
I find Blupee works better sometimes because it will take you to the cave opening, where as the other can be placed no where near a way in. Especially at the beginning when you haven't discovered as many caves.
Fun Fact: Dragon Scales are the object with the highest despawn distance. If you attach one to anything you can basically go for a stroll across the kingdom and your built thing will be waiting for you.
This is because anything you build takes on the highest despawn distance from the objects attached. Dragon scales are like 3 Zonaite, so you can save your vehicles/buildings to autobuild and then use the rest of the materials.
It's a 2000 meter distance, btw.
Noice
Don't sleep on the Zora Weapons.
The Gerudo weapons are the easiest to use because all you have to do is fuse, but they specifically *only* increase the base damage of the material attached, not the base damage of the weapon, and since they gain less durability you're going to lose them quicker.
The Royal Weapons, its hard to account for how much the bonus damage is, but it's really solid. Especially a Royal Halberd, as that is the weapon that sneaks in the most attacks during a Flurry Rush.
As mentioned in other comments, Knight weapons are playing with fire.
Royal Guard weapons will get you insane numbers right before they break, which is ideal for Lynel mounted damage and literally nothing else.
The Zora weapons, however, double their attack power if you get wet. Doesn't matter how, and, small spoiler, after you beat the Water Temple, there is an easy way to stay wet literally 100% of the time. Even without it, being wet is not a hard ask, simply throwing a Chu Jelly at your feet should do it. So these hit harder than the Gerudo weapons, are more durable because they gain the full durability from the material, and only ask you to do a little extra work.
I appreciate the gerudo weapons for their ease of use, but I’d agree in their durability not being the best. It seems they take 10 hits off the 25 extra hits you get from fusions.
Royal weapons for flurry rushes are nice, and as u mentioned spears benefit the most from them due to them having more attacks in their rush
I still can’t stop using knight weapons lmao, there’s a comfort in knowing “well I’m one heart so anything that touches me will kill me. So just don’t get hit” type of mentality. But yea there’s better alternatives if playing low hp isn’t your thing.
I also tried zora weapons out, I DO like the damage output but the fact I have to reapply water like every 20 seconds makes the whole buff feel more niche than reliable. Maybe when I complete the water temple it’ll be more consistent for me, but that’s been my experience
@@Wisdomv3 It also rains a ton more in this game vs botw. Something to consider.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 It didn't seem all too different to me, I'd say it rains about the same.
Personally, though, I just don't like having to find Sidon every few moments to reapply water. People also tend to overlook how being wet makes you more susceptible to electric attacks. It does buffer against fire damage, though, so I guess an argument can be either way.
and better, you can use blue chuchu jelly like water too
@@carlosolmos957 reg chu chu gels, or Splash fruits.
The enemy dropping weapons starts to happen when you drop them to below around 1/2 to 1/3 health left
For me it’s happened even earlier. It might be a chance thing, cuz sometimes a silver bokoblin would drop the weapon on first quick spin, but other times they would never drop it. Maybe it has to do with the strength of the weapon? I’d have to test it more
I remember one of the uses of the shield guard stat in botw was to disarm enemies with lower attack power with shield parries, so it could be a weapon stat thing
For that last quick spin tip, it's also able to be done in every 3d Zelda game before this too. It's especially helpful in Twilight Princess as it immediately sets up Link for a finishing blow
Never played twilight before, sounds really cool for a final fight ending. And between you and me I only beat a link between worlds and majora’s mask (the one on the 3DS in particular), I would’ve never know about that being in the older ones 😭
@@Wisdomv3 yeah it's used for a really cool looking quick kill exploit for one of the bosses in majora. And I don't blame you for not knowing. It's never told to you anywhere in the games. It's only the button holding variant. I recommend playing through TP, it's really good in general. The finishing blow is part of a few special input sword moves you unlock throughout the game that i really wish had made an appearance in totk tbh😭.
@Anth A It does have an appearance, kind of. I don't know the exact way you do it, but you can do a downward stab while falling. I'm sure there's a consistent way to do it, though usually when i try it comes out as a jump attack instead.
It's more reminiscent of the downward stab from Zelda 2, but that's what inspired the finishing blow to begin with.
@@Zebo12345678 that only happens after you're paragliding with a one handed weapon. It doesn't work as a for sure instant kill like in Twilight and Skyward
when it comes to the quick spin, I find it helps to do one attack then rotate the stick twice to really make sure it happens
the one attack beforehand basically guarantees I'll be in the right position and prevents me from accidentally going backwards away from the enemy while doing it
i'd also like to point out the Demon King bow you get after beating phantom ganon-- its damage rises with your max health.
I believe the damage maxes out at 60 dmg (30 hearts), insanely powerful for a one shot bow (ofc lynel just laughs at that dmg but still lol)
Just keep in mind that when it says "maximum number of hearts", it doesn't count gloomed hearts, only your maximum ACTIVE hearts.
actually low health isn't just damage optimal its SUPER optimal because of a little known thing called the "1 hit rule". Basically, from weapon attacks not fall damage, link cannot be killed in 1 hit from any enemy (sans a few bosses). Even a silver lynal cannot kill you if your at full. What that means is having only 4 hearts and constantly healing after getting hit is some of the best ways to survive super hard fights. AND for depths fights especially since if an attack leaves you on quarter heart then only 3 of your 4 hearts can be gloomed. And it just so happens that a single Sundelion un-gloomes 3 hears. cook 1 sundelion with 2 raw meat and as long as you have food you can easily go hunt lynals (with enough weaponry of course!)
I never thought to optimize it in this way! This is super helpful not only for lynel hunting, but just surviving in general when low on base hearts. With this mechanic, you can also reliably get put into 1 hp range as well if maximizing damage is something your going for, or just healing back to full in order to keep fighting. Just one question tho,
At times, specifically in the
SPOILERS FOR AN AREA IN THE DEPTHS
Lynel gauntlet under the coliseum next to the great plateau, sometimes they’d straight up kill me in one hit, even when at full hearts (the silver and armored lynel in particular). It may have been because I was already gloomed, but do you have any idea what’s up with that?
@@Wisdomv3 some enemy’s have one hit immunity so they can just straight up one shot you.
This is how I ended up getting Majora's Mask with only 4 hearts and no progress. You can also save before each round of the fight and keep trying.
ive been one shot by dozens of different enemies, this is just false
@@natesdum there are a handful of enemies that ignore the one shot barrier, but it's definitely not "dozens" lmao. It's really just some of the minibosses
Also this was in BOTW as well
Something I noticed about muddlebuds is that when hitting a gleeok with it, it seems to make the afflicted heads less likely to target link if either enemies or summons are arround, which makes the fight a whole lot easier
Really? That’s very helpful actually, I’ll probably make a short on this and credit you if anything. Thanks for this!
@@Wisdomv3 Of course! though keep in mind this is from very limited testing, since whenever I shoot them with a middle bud and they do their beam attacks, one of them at most seems to target link with the rest targeting the sage avatars
I just use a lynel bow with keese eyes to make the heads faint
I kid you not, I tried this on my second gleeok fight and since then they haven't even gotten an attack off
Just make sure to start running as soon as, or just before, they wake up as you'll get knocked over and you'll have a harder time hitting them before they attack again
Most gleeoks seem to hang out by themselves so it makes the muddlebuds less useful. Probably why they did it that way so not to make their fights super easy early game. But man would it be cool to see two gleeoks fighting each other.
I like that you talked about the Puffshrooms and Muddle Buds! Those are my go to for battling any group of enemies or strong enemies. Besides Brightblooms and Bombflowers, they're my most used items.
Me too! Even to just open fights with muddle buds on an enemy camp. it's really fun to just watch them have a fight like Pokemon battles lol
for fighting lynels, the royal guard weapons' unique effect is incredibly useful - they do more damage when low on durability, similar to the knights' weapons doing more when you're on your last heart.
and attacking a lynel while on its back does not use weapon durability up.
Forgot to cover that. Those backshots are gonna be even harder on the lynel 💪
Dude that 360 sword spin is 100% from Oot and MM 😂 I love it!
I love when they do references like that! Also MM is probably one of my favorite Loz games to date 🫡
As far as weapons go I’ve had great success with the Zora weapons and Sidons ability!
I’ll have to try that, haven’t completed any temples yet. I actually thought the zora weapons were terrible lol, but you said you had success with it so I’ll have to do that water temple then lol
@@Wisdomv3 they are mid tier at best without the buff so your not totally wrong lol. You get the buff whenever your wet so you don’t *have* to use his ability but it makes it much more consistent and will allow you to stay wet 100% of the time without the need for items. They keep the buff as well as long as they are the base weapon being fused so it’s really users preference for the piece being added!
@@jacobbenjamin2664 this sounds like I might have to make a tier list video for the types of weapons in this game because delving into the nuances actually sounds like a lot of fun
@@Wisdomv3 heck yeah!! I’ve been hoping someone would make a video categorizing the weapons!!
I wonder if you can continuously skip blood moon and have a monster free hyrule. That would seems like the ultimate challenge haha
Sounds like a really entertaining challenge run, I’ll most likely do this after my first playthrough and make it a video haha
From what I remember in BOTW if it skips too much or the game reaches a certain memory limit it'll trigger a blood moon at any point during the day instantly. It's to prevent the game running worse. A good example of the opposite is Skyrim on PS3. By late game it runs much worse.
Croton did that in botw, look him up on yt
Unfortunately, for performance reasons, the game has a system in place which happens prevent stuff like that. Given that it was barely possible in BotW, I highly doubt you could make it through both the ground and sky.
The system is known as a Panic Bloodmoon. When the game reaches a certain memory threshold, it triggers a blood moon instantly. It doesn’t bother waiting until night, it just happens.
In botw you could by just doing shrine skip and leaving from the top
I noted the clan weapons thing since botw (it's even how they're sorted into the compendium) and i highkey appreciate that has some sort of meaning now with these effects
It’s really cool how they made it it’s own feature I agree. The weapon diversity was a bit scarce in botw to me, so these “clan” weapons more than make it up for me
The first star fragment I found starting falling right next to me while sky diving, it also showed that they fall at the same speed as link sky diving! Pretty cool imo
I love catching star fragments like that, honestly such a peak experience (especially when I first found out about it). It seems they have a decent chance of spawning whenever link is skydiving at night
You can do more damage than that without being in danger.
ZORA WEAPON + MOLDUGA BONE + SIDON + RADIANT ARMOR 2**(Multiply bone damage) + 3 DAMAGE BOOST FOOD
Make sure to buff your weapon in Rock Octorok +10 damage or Critical(3x damage)
As long as you're wet with Sidon's skill, your weapon ll deal something like 700-800 damage with this combo.
I killed a Silver Lynel with just 1 mount. That's REAL CHEESE.
Yea someone mentioned this before, this type of damage stacking is just INSANE lol, thanks for telling me tho. When I do get all the pieces for that damage stack I’ll probably make a video on it
The crit buff only applies to the last hit during combos depending on the weap you use. It's not that great of a buff for this build
I thought it was like 200 damage
Take Attack Up buff meal or elixir then use Zora weapons with bone weapon fuse (i.e. Molduga Jaw) while wearing Radiant set with the level 2 buff for Bone Atk. Up and wet yourself with Sidon.
If I believe I’m right too, Radiant set level 2 buff also applies with fusing Gibdo Bone onto an arrow, giving it 1.8x multiplier on the base FAP and pair it with a Savage Lynel Bow with 5 shot burst.
I’m telling you, I’ve been yeeting Silver Lynels like they’re Bokoblins.
That’s a LOT of damage stacking lmao, sounds very interesting. From a person who just wore deity armor in botw, this sounds even cooler to try and damage stack to see how high I can make my attack. Thanks for this, I’ll try it out!
Gerudo claymore✨ in underground is better
Was just thinking about how Dragonbone Shields can finally benefit from the radiant set by giving them an attack fusion.
@@Gavalixy Zora weapons are objectively better than Gerudo weapons, they just take slightly more effort to utilize.
They double the entire weapon's damage, rather than just the fused material, which means a 24 damage zora sword while wet is going to have 48 base damage, while also doubling the fused material's bonus the exact same way the gerudo weapons do.
I'm pretty certain no Gerudo weapon has more than double the base damage of a zora weapon of the equal type and quality.
Especially since Zora weapons also double the bonus from their modifiers during high world levels, which can give them way, WAY higher base damage.
@@AtomicArtumas you can get pristine zora weapons?
I wish light weapons had combat functions like Light Arrows.
Bro imagine if they did, that would make light weapons easily the most peak part about this game
one important thing i missed hearing in the video is that the quickspin direction matters
counter clockwise or clockwise depends your spin direction aswell
Thank you for that, I forgot to mention it. I’ll pin the comment to help others out as well
Another fun fact. If it has wheels, it can drift. Pull back between reverse and the direction you want to drift. It takes practice, but it's better than flying off a cliff. Great content 👌
Small tip for the flurry spin make sure Link turns at least 90° from where he was facing. It's still the exact same feature it's been since like OoT they also re teach you it in twilight princess which was pretty cool to me
Interesting, maybe that’s why it would be inconsistent for me at times. Thanks for this!
fun fact about the satori trees, if you put a carrot in there it won't work since carrots are vegetables, so the difference that minute is coded into the event flags.
Interesting. It’s cool how much they pay attention even to the small details
I wonder what they do with hylian tomatoes.
Your editing is crazy dude! 🔥 I expected you to have at least 100k. You're gonna grow incredibly fast, keep it up!
I appreciate that my guy, thanks for the support and the encouragement!

when you're building the hover bike, stick the steering stick onto the stake so it doesn't fall over when adding the fans, just make sure the fans stick to the steering stick and not the stake. Then pick it up BY THE STAKE and shake it to drop the whole bike off
Didn’t even know you could do it like this, thanks for the extra tips!
Now the only problem with that is that if you want to save it in the Autobuild, it will be saved with the stake attached
@@RF-Ataraxia take it off the stake and then attach a dragon part. I always use horns to make that motorcycle tail thingy look
I can’t get it to go perfectly straight though
Does the star rod do bonus damage to gloom enemies?
Someone told me in the comments they don’t unfortunately. I haven’t tested them against gloom monsters tho, but it’s looking bleak for the light magic supporters 😓
Don’t forget the royal guard weapons! Their Breaking Point ability is fantastic against lynels since mounted attacks don’t take durability.
That’s a very viable strategy as well! I’ll put that in the next video, thanks 👍
Imo the best weapons in the game are the champion weapons. Specifically the scimitar of the seven due to its sky high durability and empowered fusion trait.
Haven’t gotten any of them yet, but they sound really strong from what you said. I’d hope they were strong and not some mid like the light scale trident from botw lol
Im pretty sure the blood moon operates like it did in BotW, where if you avoid it from actually happening naturally (like going in shrines, divine beasts, etc. Before the 12 am period) The game forces a blood moon event instantly after a certain period of time at any point in the day or night to purge the built up data log of opened chests/Collected items in the world from ores to felled trees/defeted enemies. I dont know if its a fact for sure, but it would make sense because of how much more often a blood moon seems to occur in TotK.
Interesting. I never dodged blood moons much in botw so I would’ve never noticed it. I did notice blood moons happened more in totk tho, so the “clearing data log” more often makes a lot of sense
Panic Blood Moon is still in TotK, but I've never seen it happen from stalling the scheduled blood moon too long.
No, this is incorrect. The Blood Moon actually occurs way more frequently in TotK than in BotW, because the Blood Moon happens every 7 days in-game, but in BotW, you can simply dodge it by entering a shrine, which will force the Blood Moon to not occur until another 7 days pass by. This is does not happen in TotK. In TotK, if you dodge the Blood Moon, the game will simply delay it to the next day, instead of waiting another 7 days. Basically, the game knows if you are dodging the Blood Moon or not, unlike Breath of the Wild. The only way to actually avoid this from happening would be to go avoid the Blood Moon every single day, which most players would simply never bother with, and this would then lead to a panic Blood Moon. This is not at all so in BotW, where dodging consecutive Blood Moons is much easier.
I've been quick spinning since OoT. Figured it would be in BotW and because it was, it had to be here. Not ultra consistent, but it's so much better
Been on the quick spin grind since the og 3D Zelda, I can respect it 🫡
The construct head and enemy homing cart zonai devices are pretty crazy if you put them together. Ideally you want some part that does contact damage on the front of the little roomba, and the head with an attached ranged weapon on top.
The majority of ranged weapons don't deal enough direct damage to look impressive, but if you have a decent amount of batteries and ideally the whole zonaite armor set, that thing is going to drive around for AGES, soaking up enemy fire and chipping away at their health bars while you can fight whatever you feel like with your weapon of choice.
It's your personal decoy drone, basically.
I love this! Also incredible usage of the word “roomba”, I had to look it up just now and it perfectly described the homing cart zonai lmao. I’m gonna experiment more with the zonai carts and make a video about them, crediting you of course 🤝
I think that the Zora weapons are very underrated. Being able to do double damage with next to zero drawbacks is awesome. If you use the weapon while it's raining, it's a free damage boost that you can keep active for quite a while. Even if it isn't raining, there are many other ways to activate the damage bonus. You can chuck chuchu jelly on the ground below you, you can set up a water fountain as a "recharge station", or you can just take a dip in a pond before starting a fight.
The water fountain strat is something I didn’t think of, that’s one way to make the water hydrant useful lmao. I did mention it in my next tips video tho if you wanna see it more in depth! That section of the video will make you very _wet_ guaranteed 👍
I also use 4 water fountains connected in an outward circle to fight mucktarock or whatever his name is 😅 it washes the muck away from the arena so I don't get trapped in it! Water fountains are awesome.
@@Wisdomv3 fuse hydrant to your shield for becoming wet whenever you want. Also use whistle to make sidon come to you. Also in fight make, other champions off for faster strat but fusing hydrant already going to solve evrything anyway.
@@tikar8982
When I found him in the depths first thing I did was put a hydrant on a homing cart and just leave it sit there. Fight him in the simple first form.
Oh, new form, huh?
*shoots arrow to activate the mop Roomba*
Sadly you have to keep offering apples to the Sakura trees, but if you're going on a cave hunt specifically they are worth going out of the way for. Oh they also always have an enduracarrot next to them so if you need one there you go.
Yes, I think the Sakura Trees are most useful for after you have already decently explored a province on your own previously and have unlocked several shrines and have already cleared at least 4 caves you found independently prior to that. You can just go to that province's Sakura Tree, and clear the rest of the caves in one go if you prepare for it.
Concerning the cherry blossoms. In one of the stables I saw a complete map with all of them on a map. So the game tells you where they are. I don't remember which stable though. I just screenshot it and reference it from there.
That’s really helpful actually, I’m gonna have to stable hunt to find that one lol, thanks!
I would rather just make a zora weapon and activate Sidon's ability so I stay wet. Then you have double damage with no drawback rather than having to stay at low health.
I talk about the zora weapons in my newest tip video right here! ua-cam.com/video/a3LeX0WPu9o/v-deo.html
For early gameplay, since most will go to the rito's first, Ice Lizalfos horns make for really strong melee weapons, especially early on.
For that Blood Moon stall bit, you can also use a dungeon to stall it. Found that one out by accident when I warped to the Wind Temple for reasons I cannot remember; I was actually bummed it didn't go through.
brightblooms are not indefinite, they just last a very long time
Yea some people mentioned to me there’s an estimated 200-300 brightbloom limit in the depths before they despawn
Here's also something you didn't touch on in your video If you attach a mushroom to any sword and you do a charge attack it yeets them across the map.
I mention this in my boomerang short, it’s right here! ua-cam.com/users/shortsEcZZWvPyiuU?feature=share
The backshots comment was crazy, I thought I was trippin, then you said it again and I lost it 😂
Yea I was having a bit too much fun recording that part 😭😭😭😭
Honestly for some reason i just dont use bright seeds when im in the depths. I'll use them in caves sometimes but not the depths. I've pretty much just been exploring the dark areas by attaching a glowshroom to a sword lol
Also useful tip I recently learned if you are dealing with thorns and need to get through, you can literally just set them on fire. For some reason I thought I wouldn't be able to at first but was so happy once I did. I recommend using flint intead of ruby rods or fire fruit since those are way more usful for combat.
Probs the best totk tips I’ve seen on yt
Thank you so much! I take a lot of time to compile them so I appreciate it 🙏
The 360 Spin attack trick is older than some people playing this game, I think it'll forever be a hidden feature.
I don’t even got the game but I’ll still leave a like
What an exemplary human being. More people should be like P-BOT H20
I love how positive your commentary sounds, makes watching the video really fun :)❤
Just throw brightbloom seeds. Don’t waste star fragments. They upgrade higher level gear.
That’s why if your gonna do it be sure to take it off at tarrey town to avoid it breaking. One mistake and you could potentially miss out on an upgrade
Bright blooms do eventually disappear, I've thrown hundreds by now... I think it's similar to a certain upgrade that only saves up to 256 hours there's probably a limit before the oldest thrown bright blooms are overwritten.
That makes more sense. Ig the older ones get overwritten at some point, I’ve never thrown enough to where any of mine got overwritten. If anything, marking on the map which ones you’ve been too always works 👍
Dunno about randomly despawning, but frox will eat them.
@@citizen_grub4171 really? Never noticed that. Pretty cool detail, that’s probably what happens to the bright blooms actually
@@Wisdomv3 Just throw down a bright bloom in front of some frox (doesn't matter if it's big or small) that aren't aggroed on you and they will start chowing down like a starving man at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
This is also the reason why frox drop brightbloom seeds when you kill them.
@dusk ha! Should have read this before posting about frox
the light blooms don't always stay for ever in the depths, i have seen those cockroach looking creatures eat them
Cockroach creatures is crazy 😭, didn’t know they eat them too. Thanks for the insight 👍
WHAT?!?!? I'm almost finished with the game and didn't know about the cherry blossom trees 😂 thanks! Love the video ❤ Muddle Buds are my absolute favorite item in the game.
It’s amazing there’s ALWAYS something to know, even if you think you knew everything lol. Appreciate the support 🫶
(Don’t quote me on this, may have been patched since Breath of the Wild,) but if you spam fast travel with very fast timing from 11:55-12:05, it should skip the blood moon for the normal 1 hours 48 minutes, yet not trigger respawns. I’ll have to try that in Tears of the Kingdom, so again, don’t quote me.
I wasn’t aware of this in botw, I’ll have to try it out (I’ll try to remember to update this comment if I do, no promises since I respond to everyone 😭). Thanks for telling me tho!
I too have been enjoying playing Tears of the Everything One Shots Me
another tip i found is if u attach elemental materials like fire lizalfos horn to a boomerang it STILL comes back to you AND burns them. may be obvious to some but my dumb self assumed the boomerang would lose its aerodynamics or something
Thank you for mentioning this. I did a UA-cam short showing that off, but don’t feel dumb lol, a lot of things in this game are knew so there’s no way you could’ve known
I figured the star fragment thing out when i was playing, but i figured it would do bonus damage to the Grabby hands, and their phase 2......how wrong i was
Attaching Shard of Light Dragon’s Spike to the Master Sword deals massive damage to undeads. I took out the multiple Phantom Ganons in Crisis at Hyrule Castle quest in record time. IIRC I was taking them out with 2 or 3 swings each.
To be honest, the Knight's weapons are all but useless to me. I can't stand playing at low health, the risk of immediately dying, even accepting the new Mystic armour, just isn't it chief.
Definitely agree that the Gerudo and Royal weapons are great. I have also, however, found the soldier's weapons to be good for roadside skirmishes, as the quick chargeup is great for AoE CC via freezing, or launching enemies with any "bouncy" fuses. Combine that with an ample supply, and I've found them to be quite a reliable weapon archetype.
Arguably my least favourite are the Rito weapons. Literally the same effect as strapping a leaf to a branch and swinging it, except the leaf/branch are significantly more common.
I have been playing for a while now and this game is so much harder and more massive than Breath of the Wild. Maybe because I played BotW for a year and a half straight. Does anyone notice that TotK seems to be harder? I'm not complaining, I love a challenge, and I will probably spend over a year on this game, too.
I HATE building crap. It's my least favourite thing to do. Also, the Depths... no. I have barely even paid any attention to going down there yet.
The weapon system is great, I'll definitely admit that. Decent bows however are rare to find on the surface. The best one I have is at the very top of the castle (Zelda's bow), but I just said screw it, I'll buy Amiibo cards.
I have been running basically everywhere on the surface and I have only seen one Lynel there thus far. I was directly above him on a rock where he could barely reach me, but he sure did one-shot me with his bow without even looking. I miss farming crap from Lynels & Guardians.
Thanks for the tips.
all gerudo weapons add more attack damage when they fuse!
and all zora weapons increase attack when Link is covered in water! Sidon's ability, splash fruit, and/or rain are incredibly useful for boosting tf out of my zora fuaion weapons!
(Gerudo and Zora for life bb!)
(also, you've got my sub)
Did not know about elemental Yiga Longswords & i completely forgot about links built-in quick spin attack.
Edit: also didn't know about Gerudo weapons.
One of the first Spoilerfree videos, thanks, but I have been spoiled too much already :/.
Knew the most except for the spinattack and Bloodmoon skip
I use muddle buds all the time and there really good to use on boss bokobolins
I wish the Star Fragment/Light Dragon fuses did super-effective damage to Gloom enemies, Gloom Hands, Phantom Ganon etc.
1:40 is funny to me because I know it best as "The Goblin Glider" due to its resemblance to the glider that the green goblin from spider-man uses, and personally i'm more partial to the hoverbike
What a genius name, now that u mention it I can see the resemblance lol. I like using it just for its design alone, even if the hover bike controls better
OUT, AM I?
So you know, it's easier to make the hoverbike by placing the fan first, then attaching the steering stick to that at a 45 degree angle. The weight of the fan is enough to hold it down. However, if you've gained the ability to make blueprints, you'll never have to fiddle around again.
I love how this game just doesn't hold your hand at all. Like there is so much I'm still figuring out and so many different ways you can play this game. I keep being surprised by stuff you can do its hard to keep up with all of it.
FYI, if you are at max up you can’t be one shot and will be left at 1/4 of a heart
Some enemies do avoid this rule (some people in the comments mentioned this), so it’s not 100% reliable depending on you who fight, but it definitely works most of the time
i was trying to get to a flux con and i didnt have the stam i needed so i dived and there was a star frag right where i was diveing how lucky bro
Love it when moments like that line up. Extremely common totk W
you are only getting one tapped if you aren't UPGRADING YOUR GEAR lol my armor score is like 60 something atm lynels do like 1-3 hearts
Not even gonna lie to u I did NOT know where to upgrade my armor for a while cuz I never got the malanya bed that points you in the right direction. So I figured “well if I die in one hit, might as well be one heart to use knight weapons”. Which leads me to that tip lol (at least in early-mid game)
*This video presentation in summary:* _"When it does work it do be workin though"_
literally my philosophy to video creation lmao
Totally true, TotK is meant to be played with low HP. I finished the game with getting only 1 heart in addition to the ones you get in temples.
Hover bike 🧀 Fire Temple.
Another way to know if you cleared a hideout is the door won't have the red seal anymore.
7:52 360 spin with a mushroom on the weapon for HILARIOUS ragdolling of enemies
