I've just done the Zora divine beast myself. Was good fun and to be fair I didn't seem to need to be too geared up to do it. Other than that I've done basically what you've been doing. The main quest for a bit, couple of side quests, and then just doing a few towers to open it up a bit. Main thing I've found is for the tougher enemies it's much better to just run away Spoiler for Zora bit: Reveal hidden contents For the bit where you have to climb the huge mountain in the Zora part and fight the Centaur guy at the top to collect Shock arrows. I tried it about half a dozen times and got my arse kicked comfortably every time. Then realised I could just sneak around up there collecting shock arrows and never have to face the guy. I assume he's still up there Getting into this a bit more now. I've got into the Zora divine beast, but haven't done the dungeon itself yet, as wanted to explore a bit first and do some side quests. I've opened up most of the map, well at least most of what I'll need in the early stages. Yes, I realise that about the Zora area, but in general it takes ages to move from one weather cycle to the next which when all you want to do is climb a cliff, is irritating. And yes, pegging it is often the very best option! Spoiler I've just got Link's female costume to get into Goron City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2018 I found that island yesterday as well. Eventide I think it was called. Seemed very interesting but very difficult. Won't spoil it for those who haven't found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 2, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2018 I would leave Eventide well alone until you feel like you've got the mechanics of the game down, unless you want a challenge. It was one of the last things I did in the game and I don't think I had what you'd call a textbook run at it... I would recommend just exploring and finding shrines as much as you can though. It's the meat of the game and you'll want the hearts and stamina as the game goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2018 A question. The little statue things that give you extra hearts or stamina in exchange for orbs. Can I go back to the same one multiple times to cash in? Or do I have to find a new one every time? I've got a dozen orbs in my inventory but haven't seen one of those statues in a while.

I just fast travel to one in one of the villages (cant remember the name). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted January 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Another thing I absolutely love about this game is how some of the shrines almost troll you There's been a few where the solution has been so bleeding obvious and yet it's designed to make you approach it in a different manner. Oh and that shrine with the motion controlled ball that so many people seemed to complain about online, took me about two minutes as soon as work out you can change the starting position of the ball it's a breeze.

Another small bug bear is only being able to swim for a short time. Annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I’ve jut let spent the best part of an hour getting frustrated trying to work out the Rota Ooh Shrine. Turns out it was so simple I might cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're pretty easy to tame, no hassle at all. Makes moving round the map much quicker in areas you haven't explored yet. Downside is you can't call them from anywhere on the map, so if they're out of range of your whistle then you have to go to a stable to get it back (or walk to wherever it is) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Not sure if I’m going about things in the right order, but I’ve climbed every single tower to open up all of the map, and have done quite a few shrines (now have seven hearts and two stamina upgrades) Have been to all of the towns and villages so feel pretty well equipped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty good going. I assumed there would be towers and Shrines that you couldn't do or get to unless you'd done certain things first, so that's interesting.

I haven’t done a divine beast yet. Some of the combat shrines look a bit beyond me yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I get wound up very quickly when I can't work out a puzzle in a shrine, so I youtube it and feel stupid because then they're glaringly obvious. Rinse and repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I start trying the same thing over and over again or thinking things like..."maybe if I crouch when I detonate this bomb", then I start getting frustrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
