Risso Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 The shrines are the best bit. Just finished the first Divine Beast, the Zora elephant one. Pretty difficult, but satisfying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 5, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2018 Worth noting that a lot of shrines include secrets. There's a way of telling if you've completely cleared a shrine from the map but I can't remember what it is. Mostly the secrets are hidden chests, some are quite easy to find, others are fairly devious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a little chest symbol next to the shrine on the map (maybe only if you hover over it) if you haven't found the chest in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one. Drove myself mad getting a couple of the extra chests. Iirc there's a shrine which resembles (spoiler hint for the type of puzzle in the shrine) Spoiler golf which drove me absolutely nuts, iirc because the final bit of it is maddeningly precise to get the secret, or might have actually just been to get the initial puzzle completed. I actually thought the Divine Beasts were one of the worst parts of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I know I'd love this but I've got one of the old Joy-Cons with the dodgy wi-fi. Link keeps buggering off on his own without me even touching the controller. Frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I’m working on getting the Master Sword before I do any more Divine Beasts. By the way, if anybody is struggling for rupees there’s a really good way of getting lots quite quickly: Spoiler The bowling mini game next to one of the towers. You get 300 per strike, and if you position yourself right you can get a strike every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make about 50k rupees in an hour which is more than you'll probably need for the whole game. Definitely for lazy people like me who haven't got the time to spend hour upon hour on the game! https://youtu.be/I32IH0a9Dkg Edited January 7, 2018 by villarule123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Just did that labyrinth shrine and handed a couple of big old Guardians their asses. Ancient bow FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Second divine beast down as well, by the way. The bird one, which I have to say was a fair bit easier than the elephant. Even the boss battle was a piece of piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted January 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2018 The more I play the more I like it. Really is a phenomenal piece of work (even with a few minor issues). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 True dat. I think the pacing is a bit off, as it's too overwhelming at first, but once you get into it, the scale of it is the best bit. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted January 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2018 One of the things that appeals to me most is that is has a very defined, very unique sense of place. There's not many games that really nail that feeling for me. I think Dark Souls was probably the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I know what you mean Si, the world just feels complete and perfectly put together. I think it’s on a par with Ocarina and just behind Windwaker in the Zelda stakes. Minor quibbles: I agree with Chindie in that the Divine Beasts aren’t quite substantial enough. Lack of proper dungeons feels a bit un-Zelda like. Rain - interesting mechanic for plants and animal behaviour to change, but when all you want to do is climb a cliff, and you have to wait 10 minutes for the weather to change, it’s a right pain in the arse Horse riding - the camera and the controls are poor for this The weapon breaking thing becomes less of an issue now though, as people have said.

Fantastic game, but it has some stiff competition in the Zelda series. As for BOTW, unfortunately I haven't touched it for a week. I have a serious Gran Turismo addiction!
