I've been doing that as well. I'm just getting around to practicing the flurry rush because a guide recommends it for the final boss fight. Also after you get to Gerudo town, the side quest before the divine beast causes ninjas to spawn out of nowhere and attack you at random. 2 types depending on the area, mostly weak archers, both drop rupees and bananas. Might want to get more Korok puzzles out of the way before that.

I’m slowly getting better at parrying and flurry rushes but I feel like you need to know the exact timing for every enemy, or maybe I just suck :/ at least for the guardians I can only successfully parry them when I’m really up close. I found out (through just messing around and being a menace haha) that you can attack guards holding weapons in towns. They’ll attack you but you won’t take damage, and you can practice parrying their attacks. Not sure if it wares down durability though.

Oh yeah, I haven’t done the Divine Beast Naboris yet but after you kill master Kogha, does the number of Yiga Clan ambushes around the world increase? They’re not that hard to kill just super annoying lol.

Haha I love getting the most ridiculous pictures for the compendium. My Guardian stalker's photo is of him with a red laser moments before shooting me, a Lynel pic when they do that stance where they recognise you. My favourites are the Lizalfos though, I've got several photos of them licking me xD

Omg haha yeah. After getting the monster masks it’s so fun going into camps and taking up close pics of enemies. I also love sneaking around underneath lizalfoes cause they can’t see you.

Regarding the Yiga Clan, in addition to the ninjas posing as merchants and such you'll get random poofs accompanied by a villainous laugh, then they just start attacking. Pretty sure the Blademasters are limited to certain areas and don't have the one hit game over move they had in the hideout. Maybe bring a blizzrod to the hideout.

Regarding the flurry rush, after watching the following video, I went to practice against random bokoblin on the great plateau. Pretty sure it depends on the type of attack the enemy uses. I was just using the backflip dodge because I forgot about the side dodge. I countered the club swing from the side pretty well, but it nailed me with the jumping over the head club move while I backflipped.

[dizzy bone]

Oh yeah, I think Bokoblins and guardian scouts are the only enemies I’ve mastered the perfect dodge. But most of the times I instinctively do the backwards flip when I’m supposed to do a side jump so sometimes I get nailed too :’D

Ahh ok I figured. Because I read a minor spoiler about people doing the Thunderblight boss last purely because it slightly changes the gameplay. I’m guessing it’s the Yiga clan assassins now popping up out of nowhere aside the usual posing travelers? To avenge his death? XD To be honest I’m just avoiding that quest line because I know I’m gonna freak out and get super claustrophobic in that hideout... even though I can’t waitttt to get Urbosa’s fury.

 

[dizzy bone]

So I just retrieved the thunderhelm from the Yiga Clan hideout and that was one of the most stressful claustrophic experiences ever haha. I was able to sneak strike and kill all but one (the guy hanging out near the guard in front of the last room before you go to fight Kogha.) I managed to take him out by freezing him with the blizzard rod.. man it’s satisfying crushing them in ice form LOL. I was bummed I couldn’t get any windcleaver drops, for some reason killing them only dropped bananas and rupees? I’ve only gotten one drop of that from the Stolen Heirloom quest... do these guys spawn in the overworld too or do the skinny ninja ones only spawn?

Now I’m mentally preparing myself to fight Thunderblight Ganon because I heard he’s a pain. I think I’m more than prepared though because I have a 3-Star rubber suit and the master sword but still!! >< I generally freak out more than necessary during boss fights lol.

I've had the yiga bladmasters spawn the central area with the castle. Would you know what ancient arrows do against bosses? I haven't tried it. I was thinking about stocking up on those and some 5 shot lynel bows. I like over preparing too.

LOL yes I am with you with over preparing. I’m always fully stocked with stuff and most of my armor sets for every situation are upgraded to 3 at least. I’m not the best at combat because I freak out easily so I need to do something for my defense :’D

I’ve never tried using an ancient arrow on a boss because I only got them after I beat the first two, and I never used them after that. I’m guessing they don’t one shot them but do significant damage when you hit them in the eye? I have about 10+ that I’m planning on using on my run to hyrule castle, specifically to take out the flying guardians when the time comes. I still need the drops from the stationary ones that are fairy easy to kill :’D

Do you know if the blade masters have the same one-shot mechanic in the overworld?

The ancient arrows would help to farm the rare giant ancient cores needed to upgrade the ancient set fully, and the divine helms from the champion amiibo if you have those. Pretty sure the giant cores only come from the big walking ones.

The only part of the boss fight with thunderblight ganon I had some trouble with was when he summoned spike things you need to use your magnesis rune on and either hit him with it, or maneuver it under him before he uses it as a lightning rod.

I don't think the blademasters don't have the same one-shot mechanic in the overworld. I've been hit close range and not had a game over in the field. Not sure if it was the same attack.

I'm waiting to get the Majora's Mask Link amiibo before going to eventide, then maybe Ganon. Pretty sure you can use amiibo on that island challenge.

Ohhh wait do ancient arrows on guardians make them drop mats? That’s nice. I thought they’d just disappear like the other foes (lol I admit I used it on an Lynel once to just get him out the way when I was korok seed hunting). I do enjoy hacking away at guardians though. Also parrying their laser beams are super satisfying.

I watched some thunderblight boss fights and I was surprised how most people dodged those rods when they initially fall down. I’m pretty sure I’d run around and still get hit lol. Also I hateeee controlling the magnesis mechanic. For some reason I can never gauge it properly even with the little blue marker... I had trouble with sooo many electricity shrines because I dropped the damn metal cube somewhere I shouldn’t have lol.

Oh yeah, I should attempt eventide at one point. I went really early on in the game and I was just like NOPE. I thought they strip you naked though so you can’t use your items or clothes? Majora’s Mask seems really helpful in general though, so I can’t wait to get DLC. I like leisurely exploring the world so I usually switch between monster masks when I’m travelling to blend in If only there was an octorok mask LOL

After you beat that boss and finish the divine beast, the Blademasters will spawn in the overworld (anywhere, not just near Hyrule Castle). And no, they don't 1-shot you so you won't have to worry about that.

ngl the Yiga Hideout is one of my favorite areas in the game just because it's really fun to see all of the different ways everyone gets through it. Killing everyone is probably the slowest way though... But yeah, some people just sneak their way through, some people use the bananas as bait, some people use Stasis+ if they have it by that point, and there's this guy who ended up trapping all of the Yigas together and burned them all at once.

Haha I was going to just sneak my way through the whole thing but with my stealth set and stealth buff (yes I know, overkill) it was just too easy to walk behind them and whack em so I thought I might as well. I’m an idiot and almost fell in front of them just trying to toss the banana from the roof. I actually used my bomb runes to distract a few. But yeah it was a pretty interesting area. I actually came across the master Kogha arena before in my travels and I was so confused what was supposed to happen there. That was a pretty dumb boss fight.

One shot with an ancient arrow in the eye of a walking guardian takes it out, and provides more drops than the decayed ones.

The Tabantha Great Bridge is a great place to farm Dinraal parts. It flies right under the bridge. It shows up around midnight. There is also a Lynel with a crusher near the shrine.

I got so excited when I first saw it down there that I flew onto it and burned myself hahaha. It’s definitely the best spot to farm him and it’s nice that the stable is so close by. Tbh the spring of wisdom(?) freeing the dragon quest was one of my favorites in the game so far. I love all the dragons! I’m sad that I’ve done most of the intense quests that the “wow” factor is gone. I’m still hoping to run into some epic quests or spots I’ve missed though.

I went just about crazy trying to complete then “under the red moon” quest. It seems like the blood moon only comes in the most inconvenient times (like when I’m in the middle of fighting a Lynel lol) and then I forget to warp there or I’m too late. But thankfully I saw it when I was farming mats to upgrade my gear. Also the dude at the dueling peaks stable has the craziest dialogue during the blood moon.

Unfortunately you can't use amiibo during Eventide's quest.

 

[dizzy bone]

Welp. I accidentally completed all the Kass shrine quests without knowing (I guess the blood moon one was the last one!!),

Spoiler: storyline stuff

I didn’t even know he had a special cut scene/song until I saw him again at Rito Village. It actually made me quite sad. It sucks that no one really knows/remember who Link is besides some of the Zora people, those old ass sheikahs and I guess Kass knew too... this whole time!!! :’D I’m going to miss seeing him around the overworld with his accordion merp.

Why do people still talk about this game, its not a very exciting game at all and its old news.

Because some people may have only just bought it, or are playing through it at their own pace. I haven't played it for months personally, but that's only because I've beaten both Normal & Master Modes, I have no interest in collecting all the Korok Seeds and I've already clocked 665 hours on it. In my opinion, it's the best Switch game so far, and my personal favourite Zelda game (except maybe Majora's Mask). Not to mention that it's the 5th and joint-3rd highest-rated video game ever made on GameRankings and Metacritic respectively, the two most well-respected websites when it comes to aggregate video game scoring. New Leaf is even older, arguably less exciting, and here we are on a website that has entire fora dedicated to that one game - so why shouldn't we be talking about it?

I wish the game didn't have so many ratings. And collecting seeds is pretty boring, and THAT IS CRAZY HOW MANY HOURS you have on Stink of the Wild, when I first finished the game my hours said it was 55 hours on botw. On my other switch profile it was like no hours at all because I cheat in botw to finish the game. Today I just keep doing the final boss fight when I get very bored and I got nothing else to do in real life. I did lost track on how many times I finished botw and same thing with Ocarina of Time.
So that is why the game isn't so fun, I mean it was never really fun in the first place. This game is way to easy even in master mode.

To be honest a large amount of that time was spent scanning in all of the Zelda amiibo continuously until I finally got all of the exclusive armour, fighting Silver Lynels for Star Fragments, and then upgrading all of the equipment with said Fragments. Aside from the Korok Seeds, I have literally done everything there is to do in the game - all Side & Shrine Quests, both DLCs, all Key Items (aside from Hestu's Gift, of course), etc. Then there's also just the times I've spent messing about and exploring aimlessly. I refuse to look at a walkthrough as well, which is one of the main reasons I haven't found all of the Koroks.

I remember I did all the shrines and side quests in one week 6 months ago and I got no botw amiibo besides the lame link one but my sister keeps it for herself, so I can't always use it. Its really no point of that amiibo because it just gives you food, like I even care about food. But more I realize I did do everything in the game, by earning the armor sets, saving the great fairies and a lot other stuff too. Only thing I can't do is get the special armor from the amiibos, because I don't have the right amiibos.
