I'm sure there are better recipes, but I cooked a whole bunch of Sundelions with either Hylian Rice (for the rice balls) or the Wild Greens before entering the final battle. All of those things were so easy to come by just venturing around the map (and provide good results) so I felt like I had more than plenty at the end. I even took a break before Ganondorf and used a bunch of the Zonai pots that I had accumulated.

 

i wanna find out what are the new recipes using the new ingredients like cheese, tomatoes, oil and whatnot. Zeldadungeon is still updating/hasn't found everything yet
i just know that you can make pizza now

 

I only needed two sundelion meals for the final battle. The only challenging part was phase two when I was trying to figure out how to hit him since he was dodging normal and flurry attacks. Once I figured it out, it went pretty quickly.

 

He was like incredibly easy to hit with arrows at certain points during all of that lol. I just pelted him with a Lynel bow over and over.

 

For some reason, I didn’t really use arrows. I realized you could do two flurry rushes in a row and hit his projectiles back at him and that took care of it for me. But good to know since I have a handful of high end lynel bows at the moment for the next time I decided to beat the game again.

 

Completed Mattison's Independence, the Mayoral Election, been knocking out Penn's requests, and now just found what I think is the last Great Fairy. I'm on a roll.

 

I went on the hunt for the armor I didn’t come across so far. I have everything now, minus the earrings pieces. I don’t really care about those. Working on upgrading the all shrines prize. I need 7 Frox guts and I only got one after defeating five in a row. This may take awhile.

 

Alright, it's been a profitable night for doing things that in no way move forward the main quest.

My plan for the weekend is to finish some side quests in Tarrey Town, try to get those dragon claws, and then I guess it's sky time. Will I move the plot forward once I'm up in the sky? Who knows?

 

Let me paint my house

 

I think it’s weird that you can’t put stuff on your house. Like a roof or shingles type stuff. It looks naked.

 

I use my house mostly for saving my strongest weapons for endgame. Ganondorf is gonna get that smoke. I just stacked the buildings on top of each other and use ascend to get the next level. All function, no form.

 

Beating it with your meat

 

My house is two floors. I had a stable, garden, and pond, but I nixed them for more weapon storage. I have one each for shields and bows, and then 3 for melee weapons. I like keeping the champions weapons, so those take up three melee spots alone. Plus I always like seeing weapons mounted. Weapons are the top floor. The bottom is my bedroom, prayer room, kitchen, and a gallery.

 

For those of you who have the max amount of rooms for their house, do you mind sharing some pics? Curious for some ideas for my uncreative ass lol

 

I’ll post some later.

 

I just made my own house in the game, and I have some thoughts.

1. It's really annoying that rooms have set walls, which makes it harder to plan how to arrange them when you're trying to use the least number of rooms possible.

2. That one builder guy needs to get the fuck off the field. The number of times I had to push his ass along so I could move my house... like what the fuck is he even scurrying around for?

Anyway, I'm quite proud with the finished result though. I have the foyer leading to a furnished square room, with a stable and a kitchen on opposite walls, and then an inside stairwell in the back that leads to an unfurnished square room, with the bedroom and prayer room on opposite walls, and then a final stairwell that leads up to a gallery, where I hung my picture of Naydra rising out of a chasm.

It's pretty fucking dope, honestly.

 

It would also be nice if you could actually enter and walk around your house while in build mode to double check things. Super annoying

 

Yes! This too! I made so many rookie mistakes because I didn't notice an issue until I built the damn thing. That's how I learned that the rooms don't adapt to your schematics, you have to adapt to theirs.

 

So I'm finally exploring the sky, and I started with the original island and tackled a sidequest where I had to light three bonfires without hitting the ground using the Zora Armor to swim up waterfalls. Really nerve-wracking, and after lighting the third bonfire, I took a wrong route and landed in a lake that led nowhere, where I drowned.

What I didn't realize is because I never touched the ground since leaving the roof of the temple, when I drowned, it brought me back to the roof, and since I'm allowed to touch the roof, I still met the criteria to complete the quest. Crazy stuff.

 

That’s a pretty genius level hack. Not gonna lie lol

 

On the outside, mine kind of sucks. I initially had the mini stable, the pond, and a garden outside. But I decided I wanted two more melee weapons rooms and I had to lose those to do it. But when you enter, I have the foyer and then a furnished square room. You can see my bedroom beyond that and stairs to the left.



Then to the right is an unfurnished square room that leads to a gallery, a kitchen, and a prayer room. Which leads us now to the top of the stairs.




The second floor is all weapon displays. First, on the right, are bows. Next melee weapons begins. Then more melee.




To more melee and then shields. We’re back to the top of the steps and that is it.




The prayer room is almost pointless now, though I have 7 more sage’s wills to find. The gallery is funny to me. You can make it anything you take a photo of. I’ve changed it a bunch already. I wish you could decorate the outside of it. And yea, the helper guy is the worst.

 

I've been exploring more sky and getting some shrines and old maps. Met an old friend that I hadn't seen since the Wind Temple, Mr. Flux Construct. Beat a III and a I. They're actually not that difficult once you know the trick to them, although the III had a phase where it went up in the sky. I wondered how to get to it, but fortunately there were springs around, so I just launched myself on top of it and took it down.

I can see though that my ability to explore the sky is restricted to wherever I can get to by launching from the sky towers and wherever I can go from there via nearby vehicle parts or my limited stamina wheel. Which still affords me some flexibility, but there are clearly places that are going to be no go for the time being.

I am curious: those really high places, that seem to be even out of range of where the towers launch me. Do I just need to build something to take me higher up and that's the only solution? Also, once I upgrade Tulin, what's he like? Does he shoot me farther or is it just a lowered cooldown and nothing actually changes about his ability?

 

Oh, never mind that last question. I guess upgrading the Sages only increases their damage output and does absolutely nothing to their abilities. That's dumb. Oh well.

 

I have gotten to everything High up by making a zonai machine almost. Two exceptions. One, I was riding a dragon and it took me right to one of the high islands. Two, I used something that drastically shot me higher up to get to a very high isolated island.

As for the flux, I’m sure you’ll recall a way to do it without a spring.

 

If you mean Ascend, I think it was too high up for that.
