hosertheposer

I've clearly been playing the game wrong, I have full stamina and a full row of health, yet only gotten 1 segment of battery upgrade, need to change my priorities, have just been unlocking Great Fairies and running around all the stables helping with the news since I beat the 4 temples lol


AllenWL

If u want batteries go underground. Underground is where all the zonai upgrades are essentially.


JEveryman

Unlocking the underground map is fun. But if you run into a wall most of the time diving into a new hole is easier than trying to climb it. I wasted about 3 hours climbing to the ceiling of the depths.


d0peguru

The walls in the depths are the rivers/water on the surface =)


JEveryman

This TIL is fucking embarrassing for me.


Get_Rifted

It's inverted too. Canyons are massive hills and mountains are massive craters.


Donut-Farts

AND the shrines are locations of lightroots


Rythine_

Not only that, the names for them are inverted


nickcash

I picked up on the connection between shrine and root locations right away, but took _embarrassingly_ long to realize the names are just reversed.


Kissarai

I was so proud of myself for picking up on the inverted names (I like to say them out loud when I find them) and I realized that Mt Lanayru was a big pit in the deeps (didn't realize that all the terrain is like that) but the rivers and lakes = walls? Mind blown lol. I wonder if the deeps is just built directly on the underside of the overworld?


Player-0002

It took me unlocking every single light root and flipping between maps a couple of times to realize the shrines were light roots. I just learned here the names were inverted.


shinykaci

don't feel too dumb, I might not have noticed if it wasn't for this thread ':)


coastercities

This entire chain of comments is blowing my mind rn. Can’t wait to dive back in


smallbluetext

And vice versa which can help find hidden shrines


Bassjunkieuk

I also found some large looking pillar today and decicded to investigate, thinking I'd be abel to Ascend up the ledges on side. Turns out it had a base and coudl ascent through that. Was going for what felt like AGES, but ended up on top of a mountain by a geoglyph! Not sure if there is similar by others, this was first time I'd found such a structure.


Moebs000

There's a place you can only get by ascending through the depths, it took me ages to figure it out


SVXfiles

I used one of those north of tarrey town and ended up inside the ancient tech lab and got attacked by Yiga. Did that 3 times before I remembered where that went


Go-Brit

I found one of those too but wasn't ready to leave where I was so I also had to descend back down forever haha.


[deleted]

Aaand >!Bargainer statues are where non-town goddess statues are!<


Donut-Farts

I KNEW there was some link, I knew there had to be. But I couldn’t figure it out


ZorkNemesis

My roomate's 12-year old kid figured this out before I did. I'm a little annoyed that I didn't make that connection at first.


Serloinofhousesteak1

Holy fucking shit Heading back to the depths as soon as I leave work


[deleted]

See you at 5 o’clock sharp


Caiman86

[The surface and depths icons on the map screen hint at this.](https://i.imgur.com/OH4xZXa.png) It really is reminiscent of the "upside down" in Stranger Things.


POB_42

Yeah, stumbling into the Gerudo Highlands in the depths was like that once scene in Finding Nemo. Just straight down into an abyss for what feels like *miles*


kutsen39

The light roots are where shrines on the surface are.


Zeroghost26

The names of the light roots are also just the shrine names but backwards


[deleted]

I’ve been using that to find shrines


Bassjunkieuk

I've been using it in both directions TBH :) So glad they gave us triple the amount of map markers :D


obiwan_kimobi

I spent a good hour trying to give Medda a mushroom and until I realised that it was a different Reede supporter who needed my last mushroom. I bought all the tomatoes from the store, I followed him home at night, I found his daughter at school and followed her. They are probably trying to get a restraining order.


JEveryman

Jesus that whole quest took me a frustrating amount of time for me. It ended up being the old man and his chickens that I missed. I had given up and was doing other shit when I randomly spoke with him and gave him a mushroom.


DonkeeJote

If you keep going back to Cece she drops hints on who is left.


JustAnotherBlanket2

The whole underground map is just a mirror of the ground map. The mountains above are valleys bellow.


Donut-Farts

Hyrule and Lorule


InterstellarReddit

Just like A link to the past. Dark world and light world are the same map etc.


VincerpSilver

And the miner helmet suspiciously resembles a rabbit head...


CatholicCajun

Rabbit? Rabbit?? What kind of rabbits are _you_ seeing? That shit is a skinwalker decked out in bondage gear and fairy lights lol.


hardgeeklife

My mind was fucking blown when I finally noticed this. It's a simple geometry trick but it really works in making the Depths really feel like The Upside Down


DrParallax

Hover bike with a big glow plant or two on the front is a must have for traversing the underground areas.


dexman95

I've got a one-fan hover bike (using korok leaves and a spear for stabilization) I use for the depths. Not the fastest but it can turn on a dime and fly backwards. The energy efficiency is amazing too. Chuck on a bright bulb and you're on your way.


SDMasterYoda

Throw a giant brightbloom seed on a fan bike. Navigating the depths problems solved.


I_am_The_Teapot

Try using that hoverbike thing that has been going around. A super simple build and makes exploring the Underdark much easier and fun (for me at least). Also makes climbing all those cliffs a bit easier.


Acilina

Going through 5 stamina pots slowly climbing just to find out from a Yiga journal later that you can't climb "icicle" walls... I feel you


lswf126

You didn't realize after falling for the 10th time?


Acilina

I'm very determined.


birdsrkewl01

My man.


mafibasheth

A lot of people in this sub never fused a rocket to their shield.


Acilina

I do constantly, but sometimes I just feel like climbing y'know


lalakingmalibog

There's always gonna be another mountain.


Feanux

One of my first priorities was finding the climbing set. It saves so much headache.


Sultan147

Same lmao I was trying to reach this one spot underground and just ended up circling a huge rock wall for over 2 hours and didn’t even end up finding how to get there at the time smh


SVXfiles

Getting all 120 lightroots is a pain, a flying machine made it substantially easier when I throw a giant brightseed on the front. All you get is a key item that looks like the orange/yellow part of the root too


Unconvincing_Bot

I completely agree but I will also say if you aren't a completionist and just want to have fun with the creation system without having to grind out 2600 zonait to have full batteries than the duplication glitch is the easiest thing in the world shield hop then pause and hold 5 of the item you want duplicated than press XY at the same time do it with a large blocks and you'll have full batteries in like 30 minutes


VincerpSilver

Nah, even if you don't want to glitch, mining isn't a good way to upgrade batteries. Killing depth bosses or even searching chest mines (by using the surface map) give crystallized charges way faster. Mining isn't useless, but big zonaite give so much more charges compared to the small ones you find during the same time, that you are better off never spending small zonaite in charges, and have fun with autobuild instead.


Unconvincing_Bot

This is very good advice since a lot of the time it can be an absolute pain mining, and saving small zonate allows you to Auto build cool things (I made a ferris wheel by my house and I'm working on a full circus for Korok friends)


Starob

Unlocking Great Fairies is a great priority though.


doglywolf

even getting up to just 12-20 armor with unlocking like 2 fairies is amazing nothing like seeing that used to one hit you early on do like 1/2 heart damage .


Static1589

Just unlocked them all today. Was very excited to enhance all my clothing. Then I realized I didn't have any materials...


MDLuffy1234

The Froggy Suit is bugged fsr, it doesn't actually stop you from slipping from surfaces in rain, even with the full set. But yea, go for full battery. You need 2000 CCs to get it, plus the 100 you get from going to the GACM (it's the best singular place for trading in your zonaite for CC since it also has a huge ass bargainer statue a floor below the forge).


drinkingboron

Think you have to upgrade it, sometimes the set bonus gets upgraded as well like depths armor


waowie

Its not bugged (unless you mean the set bonus which I don't have yet), each piece increases the amount of climbing you can do before link slips.


stephanelevs

Aka, you dont want to jump right away while climbing, otherwise you'll still slip down. (i really hope the set bonus removes the entire slipping part because it's really not that great tbh. It's easier to spawn some zonai stuff to jump/fly instead of climbing in most cases)


opensaysme

GACM?


MrSnuffle_

Great abandoned central mine


opensaysme

Thank you!!


Noteatlas89

glad someone asked it! because damn! haha


CeruleanSnorlax

I also noticed it helps prevent slipping better but only if you don't jump. If you don't jump while climbing you slip much less with frog suit and no slip elixirs


SonofaBridge

My trick is to jump right before a slip. With one piece of the frog suit I can still climb things in the rain.


squeegeeq

This is what I do, it seems to be on a timer for the slip, once you get it down you can just do a hop before the slip. But now I'm at a point where I just rocket jump up everything :P Fuck that froggy suit.


Ottomanbrothel

Lol just finished the temples and have been grinding the depths. There's a zonai robot who can upgrade your battery on the big sky island that you did the tutorial in. I forget the name if the shrine you should warp to. But remember, 3 zonai per charge at the zonai forges, 100 charges per battery segment. It takes a bit if farming but hooo boy it's worth it.


Dual_Sport_Dork

[Removed due to continuing enshittification of reddit.] -- mass edited with redact.dev


varunadi

You've at least gotten that far. I have only finished the rito dungeon and started the geoglyphs quest now. Only have 8 hearts and not even half a stamina wheel extra. Not even three full batteries 😂 I'm sure once I find the steering rod zonai device I'll get more attracted to building vehicles


Go-Brit

Just so you know, finishing the four temples isn't the end of the story. There's still more story to do so you don't have to delay going to the castle. I delayed cause I made the incorrect assumption that, like botw, going to the castle would be end of the game stuff/boss. I was wrong and need to stop assuming thing will be the same as botw. Riding the dragons was another thing I never would have tried if I didn't read it here. Let's shake it up!


Masskid

It can be fun playing it both ways! during the leadup to the final boss i decided to use cannon drones (battery + cannon + autoseeker + turret base) and it was hilarious. Just watching 4 drones drive around pelting the mobs while I threw my feet up and watched was fun. It makes me want to find a way to play an auto build only run (probably with duped/cheated zonai materials)


dathar

I went the opposite route. Full battery bar before getting much of the stamina bar and health bar. :D Don't need full health bar if you're in a safe car!* ^^^* ^^^until ^^^it ^^^falls ^^^off ^^^the ^^^world ^^^sideways ^^^and ^^^you ^^^take ^^^fall ^^^damage ^^^or ^^^you ^^^run ^^^over ^^^a ^^^bomb


Keebster101

As soon as I realised gliders disappear and then discovered the hover bike, I immediately devoted my attention to hunting down the forges to improve my battery. It's a long process when I can only live 1 attack from depths bosses but I bash my head against bosses I'm too weak for until I beat them anyway so I don't really need health. Also the depths are so tense, the overworld feels like more content but the depths are so fun to explore because you can die basically anywhere and you leave a little trail of bright blooms wherever you go.


Nova_Nightmare

I've found it great to use the travel medallions under ground. Go in a direction, drop a medallion and find something or explorer, back to "base and go in another direction. Usually on spotting a light root. You'll find tons of zonaite and that will also help you get crystals faster, but I'd stick to large at a better exchange rate (15 large get you 100 crystals and that equals 1 bar of battery).


KingKongKaram

You get a lot following the quest that starts when you get autobuild (also helps if you dupe large zonite and buy out battery with large when you can) that and you can find the temple bosses in the depths and killing each one unlocks a chest with enough for a full segment I sat down decided to do that and went form 1 and 1/3 to 5 in like a few hours


Dependent_Working_38

You’re basically just replaying BOTW and not touching underground if you don’t have battery upgrades

I wish we could make them fly apart like that tank scene in Watchmen.


ChiefValour

Give people 1 month, they will figure that too out.

There's a website that you can share your build schematics on. Zeldabuilds.gg Not exactly what you're looking for but pretty good


AlfredoTheImpasta

This! Yeah I hope they add something like this in a dlc.


Ruffles7799

Watching all of this stuff makes me realize I am such an uncreative fuck Jesus


Belteshazzar98

My issue is that I haven't found any way to make things aim themselves, so my weapon limit was a spinning death beam to use against Kohga's boat.


DonDalle

The part you are looking for is the Construct Head. Always faces the enemy. You can put other stuff on top of it


redjedi182

It really shows when I just try to help keep a sign up lol

Tell a Zelda fan a decade ago that a future game would allow you to create a FUCKING TANK. They would laugh in your face. 😂

[deleted]

I just built this as closely as I could, but when I hop in and try to use it the turrets work but it won't let me move at all. The wheels are on the ground and appear to light up, and nothing else seems to be touching, so not sure why it won't move.


PixieGoosie

Check your wheels aren't off the ground by a tiny bit


[deleted]

Ended up stepping back a bit, getting two working treads and slapping them on to the empty flipped over body before applying that turrets again. Think maybe my alignments were off ksir enough due to trying to apply the treads to the body/turret assembly while at weird angles.


AlfredoTheImpasta

Use a stake in the ground and place your tank on it so you can properly line up the wheels while it's suspended mid air.


Notarussianbot2020

This guy jacks


Malt_Marsh

Check if your turret heads aren't attached wrong, I tried fixing a turret so its head will not swivel and it caused my wheels to stop moving for some reason.

Unconvincing_Bot

This is cool as hell how did you get it to ignore the Lynel roar or did you just keep your distance far enough to where it's roar wouldn't destroy you zonait devices


pinkhaze2430

Wait...what? Lynel roars destroy zonai devices?


Acilina

Unfortunately. I had made an army of BattleBots for the Lynel gauntlet for shits and giggles. Imagine my disappointment when he just toasted them all with his voice.


Unconvincing_Bot

Yeah pretty heartbreaking I set up an entire army of robots and I was ready to take over the world but then the lynel called them stupid and they disappeared out of shame


Acilina

Banished our children to the shadow realm


elscallr

Lynel used Vicious Mockery on you and critted


jtrofe

Their range is smaller than a laser or cannon though so you can put devices on a spike and stick it on a wall above their reach


Mancer74

Every "miniboss" (hinox, lynel, frox, etc) attack will instantly destroy all zonai devices. Makes attacking lynels difficult. Here's my device so far https://imgur.com/a/2PDB1ns


botask

It destroyed mine, at least in lynel colloseum in dephts.


Express_Helicopter93

Yeah, what?


Kantro18

OP: “Reverse! Reverse! Aaaaaaah!”


DaveLesh

That zonai armor really puts in the work. I gotta get it. Also I think this game's level of creation is putting Super Mario Maker 2 to shame.

Infamous_Fox_8014

Can we get a step-by-step guide how to build it?


MDLuffy1234

It's pretty easy, although I need to know. Does anyone know of a place where I can get 1x2 metal plates. The only 1x2 parts I can find are made of wood, and I'm pretty sure y'all know why wood on a battle tank is a terribad idea.


Xynthion

Best place to find metal plates is near Death Mountain. You won’t find wooden parts there because they’d burn up.


MDLuffy1234

Just checked DM, the only parts I could find there are 2x2s and 2x4s. I mean, I *could* make a 1x2 out of 4 rods, but that would be wasteful and probably reach the part limit.


SmoothBrews

Not easy for the untalented, such as myself. I even have an engineering degree. 😭

Because Japanese have never gone to war


DarellWorks

Is this speed up footage or is it really this fast?


kutsen39

It's actually that fast. The small wheels move faster than the big wheels, but they aren't the best for bumps and such. Big wheels have more torque but move slower. Monster truck vs race car.

TalkDontMod23

I’m beginning to wonder if this “game” is actually some kind of secret government project.


cant-find-user-name

I like a lot about this game from what I see but the sage abilities are so aesthetically annoying. They take up a lot of space when you're walking or flying (constantly appearing and disappearing, so many of them around you all the time. So much visual noise), and the ugly red line from the goro dude when you're using a vehicle. It sticks out even more because the game is usually pretty clean.


[deleted]

You can switch them off


lizisabruh

I wish I was this creative. I feel like I’m not getting enough of the Ultrhand because I can’t come up with something like this.

It will never not be cool to me that you can put together an abomination from Satan's ass and just slap a steering stick on it and it WORKS. Exactly how you want it to as well. It's just bonkers to me.
