    Perfect encapsulation of this game: going wherever at the start with nothing but your pure gamer skill, using the game's physics/chemistry/AI engines to find creative solutions to intricate problems, and clutching a hard boss only to lose at Dark Beast.

  • @PolandSphere
    @PolandSphere Рік тому +217

    It is soul crushing to die to Dark Beast because it's so easy and it's right after the boss rush. Watching you die inside and then light up when the autosave loaded was great.

    You could have used the flame sword as heat. If you have it equipped while in the cold, it will warm you up a bit. Same as if you hold a frost sword in the heat, it will cool you down.
    This works with any flame or frost weapons. I hope this will help people out for their challenges!

    • @SSM24_
      @SSM24_ Рік тому +10

      Carrying a flame weapon only counts for 1 level of cold resistance (unlike holding a lit torch, which counts as 2), which isn't really useful here since there's not much to combine it with. I guess he could've made multiple level 1 elixirs instead of a single level 2 one, but I'm not sure if it would've had any longer total duration.

    I didn’t know you start at dark beast if you die either! This game never runs out of secrets.
    Also for the cold area you could have weapon smuggled the torch, this allows you to hold weapons in animations normally forbidding you to do so

      I'm not sure TOTK content will be much different ngl
      Been playing TOTK for a week but I guess you could make it specific Fuses only runs?

    I really love these types of videos. Can’t wait for tears of the kingdom but can you beat it only using…

    I loved all these challenge runs. And can’t wait for the tears of the kingdom ones to start. But please, don’t rush yourself to start on runs. Just play the game casually, since you can only get that experience once. Meanwhile you can always do challenge runs.
    Please don’t waste your first playthrough by rushing to finish it asap. So you can start making new challenge runs. If anything, waiting a little bit allows more people to finish the game as well. And will probably improve viewership

    You must be so stoked for totk. I'm currently working through breath of the wild and then i'm gonna buy the new one. Can't wait to go through both and really appreciate the tips you give out. Helps give me a little edge and insight into what i can do and use!
