Immediately shoot the Lizalfos in the middle with a headshot. (Make sure to take it out before the other two Lizalfos get alerted). Keep going until it's dead. (Stasis if necessary.)
Then chain sneakstrikes on them over and over until they die. You basically do the sneak attack from behind, and then quickly get to the front of them when they're lying down following the attack. When they get up, they will turn around, allowing you to do the back attack again. Rinse and repeat.
That's the easiest strategy (in my opinion), at least.

It's not too bad. I actually liked it as a fun sort of puzzle. The pictures lead to some of the best shrines in the game too.Got passed that part. Saw the next part was "find these secret spots in the world via a picture bullshit and quit.

the secret stairways shrine was absolutely brilliant, so small and simple and so many ways to do it.
I thought about some statis/magnet switcharoo but probably was not fast enough, then I saw how high the railings went and decided I will just blow myself up there, set double bombs below the boxes, stood on them and it catapulted me high into the air. high enough for the chest and the actual way out.
then I thought there's no way that was the intended solution, looked up a few videos online and no one did it this way but people had different combinations of cryo/statis/magnet/bombs to do it.
Just finished that shrine: thought it was a stupid frustrating puzzle... until I began to think more out of the box, simply brilliant... also Octo balloons - which I'd never even considered.
Absolutely loved this little shrine.
It doesn't help that I don't like Kass (never liked him in the base game either).
his followers will want to "congratulate" you personally now. a lot. please be excited. :)So I just beat the monk who you have to fight. Honestly I'm so proud of this. I ran out of weapons and arrows at exactly halfway (used my last arrow to get him to half where he turned giant) so I fought the other half of the battle purely with remote bombs and magnesis when he summons the spiky boulders.
It was a long battle but I fucking did it
yeaI took the season pass but I didn't finish the story (only got 2 divine beasts). Can I get all items beside the mount?
I've noticed several quests added but I don't know if it's about the first DLC.
(I didn't read all the OT to keep some surprise :p )
Can't you save manually?Is this the most current BOTW-thread? Anyway I just came to vent about the thieves' lair and how it doesn't have save checkpoints. I don't remember a game where I'd been THIS stuck. I don't...

D-pad (directional buttons) down, iirc, changes the throwing-mode.It's because I suck with combat and controls, still, after all these months. How do I throw something a distance? Hold an item, then press right bumper? I'm almost through it, I've been backstabbing the big guys but then I usually mess in the big room. Just my own fault. I haven't even mastered the parry-riposte mechanic.
You shouldn't be trying to fight anyone in there.It's because I suck with combat and controls, still, after all these months. How do I throw something a distance?

wait what, I missed this, you were trying to FIGHT THEM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?I'm on it. I keep Switching between Diablo 3 and BOTW. I'll report back in couple of hours!

Really suggest you do the Rito next. The reward you get is super helpful for most of the game.Ahh I'm backstabbing all of them, seemed to be easy way out. Maybe it doesn't work in the big room with multiple guards but the first two guards are easy to just sneak upon and press 'y'. I'll keep these advices on my mind as I dive in to BOTW soon.
So, I haven't still killed any of the beasts and the first one I do is going to be the desert beast. That's what I have heard is supposed to be a good order. I have enjoyed the desert area a lot actually. I also played it on CEMU in 4k and whatnot but the Switch version just seems right to me and I'm going to stick with that. Maybe I'm insane.

whoever told you this was trolling you. it's objectively the hardest one (specifically the boss).Ahh I'm backstabbing all of them, seemed to be easy way out.

Anyway I bought the game for Wii U and now for Switch, I like supporting some special titles like that. It's just that I'm spending lot of money on lot of different games and only play select few. After going on tangent - I think they are already developing new Zelda title and I have hopes for a new title already next year. This is my intuition.
Yeah basically every weapon breaks, even the good stuff, so it's not really worth going out of your way to find the nicest equipment. It can be useful having an elemental weapon if you're going to a region w/ the opposite element (like having an ice sword while on the volcano for example) but besides that it's not worth bothering over imo. Maybe save a good weapon or two in case you come across an enemy stronger than the normal mobs, but otherwise just explore naturally and use stuff as you get it. You'll be picking up weapons faster than you can break 'em majority of the time anyway.How should I be playing this game?
I normally play RPGs like I played FF7, going after the best gear I can get, but with weapons breaking here is that the best way to do it? Should I just explore and not be so worried about having the best weapons?
For example tracking down all the best Witcher gear in the Witcher 3.
I feel like it's counterintuitive to be doing it that way and I'm playing wrong.
I've never played Zelda before so unsure if there's a better way to play that isn't being bothered about having the best of everything.

BotW is kinda designed in a way that constantly pushes the player to get creative and frequently provides many different solutions to a problem - whether that be a puzzle, a battle, getting to a location, what have you. So even if you find yourself low on weapons or ammo, typically you'll still have something else at your disposal that can get you through (like bombs, nearby metal objects, pushing enemies into water, etc). A big part of what makes the game fun is always being kept on your toes and figuring out different ways to do things. So I wouldn't stress too much about what you have in your inventory and just have fun wandering around. :)
Well, some places are hotter than others. There's also places that are colder. The elemental weapons can, to an extent, be used as a replacement for gear. An ice weapon can keep you cool and a fire weapon can keep you warm.Ahh got it thanks.
I had no idea there was different elemental areas....
You can technically go in any order you want, but if you're not used to the systems definitely follow the story prompts through the first two towns to help you get your bearings.How should I be playing this game?

You should get a taste of how it works on the plateau, one of the shrines is on top of a mountain that you need warm clothes/spicy food/a fire weapon to get to the top of without freezing to death.
There are places with temperatures so extreme that simply equipping an elemental weapon will not be enough, like the Hebra Mountains.

One thing to think about with the weapons is to consider them ammo instead of things you need to hang onto. When you pick up a weapon, you're just getting more ammo of a certain type.
You'll have no problem finding "ammo" to replace what you use up, and as you get further through the game, you'll regularly find more and more better stuff which does more damage, has higher durability, and has different characteristics.
This game... 2 years later and people are still finding new stuff about it!
I'll admit I probably wouldn't have been ballsy enough to try that. Where is that location?
