Edit: Finished the Goron one and it was pretty good. One particular aspect I won't spoil definitely gave old Zelda game vibes. Started the Gerudo and Zora areas, but I don't know which I will get to completing first.
Slight Tarrey Town Spoiler:
Apologies for taking so long to get back to you on this...I kept thinking, THIS one, THIS time I'll get the other pieces, and kept getting other stuff instead.
Yeah, that was really awful. I mapped that area right away when I found it because I hated that effect so much that I wanted to never have to deal with it again, as quickly as possible. I'd already figured out how to minimize use of brightblooms at that point, but I had to give up and use them like crazy there, to reduce the blinding effect. I don't know why they added that! What was the point in making it not only unbearably hot, so you have to use certain things, but also impossible to see in, so that you have to use OTHER things that you can't use while using the things you have to use to not burst into flame.Mikodesu wrote: ↑Jun 01, 2023 8:19 pmSpent most of my night hunting lightroot. Not a fan of the equipment requirements in certain areas, though. Like I know, Nintendo, you want to force us to use what we bought a bit more. But does that have to come with glowy red particle effects on top of glowy red, life sapping goo? When I already can't see?
Ahhh, no, I didn't 100% it. I'd say I'm at... maybe 70%? I focused on a good chunk of quests (I pick up every one I see) but I only mapped out the depths to the point of what was needed. I hate it down there, I hate the dark. One of my biggest fears IRL is inky darkness hiding things I have no control over to defend against, and the depths are exactly that vibe. Yes, there's lightroots and the seeds to help you along, but it doesn't stop me from hating exploring down there.
70% is still incredible, though, this far from release.Bluie wrote: ↑Jun 03, 2023 4:24 am Ahhh, no, I didn't 100% it. I'd say I'm at... maybe 70%?

My main focus was getting an armor set fully upgraded, doing all the main quests, and dabbling in whatever sidequests I had. I wanted to at least get the story done so I wouldn't be spoiled for it, and with that done, I can put the game away and focus on other stuff until I'm ready to go back to it. I definitely used the (now patched) dupe glitch to speed up my process. Duping all the mats I needed for my armor (I ended up going full Zora armor because I like it the most) + duping diamonds to sell for infinite arrows helped a lot. I guess that's 'cheating' but whatever, it's a single player game.
