All started well until I ran out of wooden things to carry the flame with. Then when I found something it fucking rained for ages before stopping. I then tried to ride the flame in on my horse but overshot on my first attempt and my club disintegrated before I could get back. Second attempt I got there and tried to jump off the horse to light the lantern but that button puts your torch away extinguishing the flame. Third attempt it started raining so had to wait that out again before finally completing it on the 4th attempt. Hah, did you miss my lengthy rant about precisely the same thing up thread? I feel your pain, man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottcr Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 there's always something.. everything is so brilliantly designed to draw you and make you want to explore. I found a shrine that was tucked away... I found it using a really COOL environmental thing I'd never noticed before flocking birds! and the chests in that shrine yielded some obvious clobbering type weapons... when I came out of the shrine, directly in front of me and across a gully, was a bunch of sweet ore that yielded sapphires and rubies and I smashed them up using the weapons I 'won' in the shrine. It was obviously designed to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Re. that 'carry the blue flame' task at Akkala that was discussed a few pages back. I loved that. I spent ages clearing the area of Moblins, then figured out I could light a torch while on horseback. Just as I was getting back to the lab is started raining and extinguished my flame. So I headed down to the stable to get a bed to wait it out. But then while I was asleep the blood moon happened and all the Moblins were back! FFS. This time, however, I pwned them in no time, transported the flame via horse again, except I forgot that the stationary guardian near the lab had also reapawned. Dodging that caused the flame to go out, so back I went.... I think that kind of thing would be annoying in most other games, but because of the different ways things can play out there was never a dull moment. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just rode the flame all the way from source to destination. I did it in both the original village and Akkala - in fact I went around lighting all the lanterns I could find in both locations, in case something interesting happened. It hasn't, yet - but maybe I missed one. If you do this at Akkala, it leads you around the back of the hill near the main source, to a skull cave with treasure, but I don't know if that's all it does. In both places, there's someone who talks wistfully about having the blue lanterns lit, so I took it as a cryptic hint that I should. Maybe it's just another ruse to get you to head up to the research centre. I now have a torch with extra endurance, filched from a blue-flame challenge shrine, which apparently does not go out... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorfarius Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Epona just needs to be scanned once and can be stored in stables. You can then scan the amiibo every day after to receive some goodies and a chest. Just keep in mind that once you have Epona it makes the other horses pointless, you don't need to train or treat her right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boothjan Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The only thing I can really think of in this game that I don't look forward to are the gyroscopic puzzles in some of the shrines - way too faffy and I keep tilting the pad forwards so I can't see it. Much easier on the telly. That's really about it! I would say some of the baddies are a bit solid, but I know I'll come back to them when I've got better equipment and will kick the shit out of them - that's just something that makes me want to keep playing. So gyroscopic puzzles - the only weak point I can think of. But otherwise, it really is incredibly polished - and I think it's now easy to see why it was delayed for so long. It's just a shame it's arrived so late in the day for the Wii U's life cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
