Breath of the Wild - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Armour DLC

Elai · October 20, 2017, 03:30:23 PM

OP: 3-hearts, scavenger vegan, no Champion Buff run. I'm not allowed more than 3 hearts (no bonus hearts) and I can only eat meat if I find it, I can't kill animals for it. I'm not allowed to use any of the Champion abilities.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Rex from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Armour DLC dropping November 9th, 2017

Looking to salvage in style? A new Rex costume comes to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on 11/9! #XenobladeChronicles2

3 November 2017

New Champion Amiibos releasing Nov. 10th, will include new helmets for each Champion:

Quote

With the Champion amiibo coming out on November 10th, learn more about what each helm does in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild!
When any of the Divine Helms are equipped with Ancient Cuirass and Ancient Greaves (All armor items need to be upgraded level 2 ★★ or above), you’ll also trigger a set bonus, Ancient Proficiency, which increases the attack power of Ancient or Guardian series weapons. All of them will increase guard from ancient energy attacks, while defense level and required materials for level-up are the same as those of Ancient Helm. Enemies' remaining HP/full HP will also be visible like the Champion's Tunic.

Additionally, there are specific effects for each item:
- Vah Rudania Divine Helm: Flame Guard (Lv1)
- Vah Ruta Divine Helm: Swim Speed Up (Lv1)
- Vah Naboris Divine Helm: Electricity Resistance (Lv1)
- Vah Medoh Divine Helm: Cold Resistance (Lv1)

Vah Rudania Helm:

Vah Ruta Helm:

Vah Naboris Helm:

Vah Medoh Helm:

Medoh and Naboris are the only ones that look cool to me but it's nice to see additional Ancient helmets considering the one in-game looks terrible.

Why? You said you were either gonna get a PC or a Switch, and you got a PC. I didn't know you bought a Switch.

Well I said in the OP that I'm playing on switch

wtf that wasn't there before the edit

yeah it was lol i didnt alter the title

Elai · October 21, 2017, 09:11:52 PM

I'm giving my neice my old Wii-U because I think she'll love this game to pieces. She's a big fan of Minecraft and BOTW has some similar elements that I think will help her latch on. She's been playing straight for a few hours now and it's really rewarding to watch her experience (probably) my favourite game of all time for the first time. Her reading comprehension could be a little better too considering she's in the fifth grade so if I can help her in that way at the same time it's a great situation. I've actually been watching her play more than playing myself. I hope she isn't turned off too much by the combat because that'll be a relatively new frontier of gaming for her. Only Nintendo could make such a fantastically great game that every demographic could enjoy.

Elai · October 21, 2017, 09:54:43 PM

So I completely forgot that you get a heart container after each dungeon... and since my original intention was to recreate the difficulty from the older games, i think its fair if i allow myself access to them. i dont think you can sell them anyway.

Genghis Khan · October 22, 2017, 09:19:08 AM

3 hearts makes no difference if you have fairies and guardian armor set.

you can only carry a few fairies and i obviously dont have the guardian set yet

Big Boss · October 22, 2017, 01:54:24 PM

Good luck, I think it'll make the survival aspect of the game a lot more intense. I only just recently decided to give it another go and it's hard enough without limiting myself so far, so kudos.

i really havent found it too difficult at all. ive upgraded some equipment to stage 2 and i only lose 1 heart to normal enemies and 2 and a half to lynels. guardians still fuck me up tho so i just gotta be on the ball with my parries.

Elai · October 23, 2017, 12:38:18 AM

tfw you wanna play trial of the sword again but dont wanna fork over another 30 bucks because you bought it on the wiiu

tfw you want the amiibo armor but hate amiibos

Elai · October 23, 2017, 12:23:21 PM

debating whether or not to try and run the trial of the sword with only 3 hearts or not

Elai · October 23, 2017, 01:36:34 PM

i got the first trial done but the middle trials are the hardest so im hesitating

Completed trial of the sword and the goron dungeon. omw to gerudo lastly. really taking my time to finish side quest and find korok seeds though.

Elai · October 24, 2017, 05:17:20 PM

Okay, just to recap:

Made it to Gerudo Town. Haven't made my way inside yet, but I'm about to. I'm a little upset at the Hateno House, because I'm the kind of guy to save all those special weapons you get once you complete each dungeon. Unfortunately, Zora's Domain, Goron City, and Gerudo all give you primary weapons. But Zora's Domain gives you two: the Lightscale Trident and the Ceremonial Trident. This would be all well and good if there was enough wall space but, unfortunately, there isn't. I'd like a "customise wall" option to suit my needs. I don't need 3 bow slots.

I've started using Revali's Gale, because it doesn't really make the game easier. Just a little less tedious.

Prince Sidon is easily the best character in this game. He's the Rock Lee of Zelda and I fucking love it. "Have I not mentioned how incredible you are? Or how thankful I am? Because you are, and I am!" I also think the lead up to the fight where you ride on his back is one of the better situations the game sets up. If it's not the first, it's just behind the Rito Village pre-fight.

In retrospect I should have done Zora's Domain > Goron City, THEN Rito Village and finally Gerudo Town. The design of the game seems to play it in that order. I still think it's incredible that in my first playthrough I completely skipped the main objectives in favour or exploring Neclude towars South Faron, which eventually lead me to Gerudo, my favourite portion of the game. Sometimes deserts in video games can be a little annoying, but I think BOTW makes it enthralling to explore. Not to mention the fucking SAND SEALS that still puts a grin on my face every time I do it. Nintendo really fucked up revealing that in the trailers, but then again if you're watching trailers for things you're going to buy in the current year you need to give your head a shake.

The game is still as good as the first time I played it. Aside from a potential Master Mode playthrough, I don't want to touch this game for a few years after the DLC comes out just to preserve the game's freshness.
