If you parry with a fused elemental shield, it will do an elemental aoe attack. It's really fun! (I think this also works with every other burst material, but I've only tested this with elemental lizalfos horns - I wonder how much the aoe could increase when using ores instead?)
One thing to note is that unlike normal bokoblin horns, boss bokoblin horns create axe type weapons, meaning they will be able to instantly break crates even when fused to a spear.
Enemy horns have different utilities for specific weapon types: Bokoblin Horns: Swords / Reapers Lizal Horns: Spears Moblin Horns: Blunt Two Handed Weapons Hinox / Stalnox Horns: Boulder Crushing Horriblin Horns: Mineral Deposits Lynel Saber Horns: High Tier Swords Lynel Mace Horns: High Tier Two Handed Blunt Weapons Boss Bokoblins Horns: Axes for cutting down trees Any one handed sword can also destroy mineral ores in one hit, as long as it deals 40 damage or higher in one swing because that is the base amount of HP that all mineral deposits have.
Incidentally, the Hinox toenail has this quality too, and will chop trees. The tier 1 boss boko horn does NOT have the axe quality And the Lynel hoof is also a good hammer or ore miner, and are basically useless otherwise Aaaaand the Molduga jaw is notable for having the highest damage potential of all weapon attachments with Bone Weapon Proficiency, on top of a base weapon modifier Aaand the Soldier Construct 3 horn has no special qualities besides being cutting, but, when fused to the master sword, has a nearly perfect damage benchmark to do all utility applications of weapons in one hit (mining, tree cutting, ect) while being fairly low value besides
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Love this! Lynel hoof fused to arrow is nice for armored lynels since they have the ShatterWeapon property and you'll likely get 1 or two back anyway.
Elemental Lizal horns also work for this, Elemental Dragon parts likely also work but I haven't tested those. Unfortunately the wind of the Rito weapons does not change unlike that of the Eightfold Longblade
King Dorephan's scales apply the water element to arrows and causes them to fly farther. However, the scales don't apply the water element to weapons. They also make weapons fly farther when thrown (they have the "soaring" prefix).
This is also a holdover from breath of the wild where it’s the fastest way to take them down because you just hit them with the ice and then the fire and you’re good
One that you missed is the boss bokoblin horns, which have a special ability where (other than the red ones) they do extra damage against trees as they are considered axes just like the stone axe head rocks. I still use one with a thick sturdy stick to take out the killer trees in one hit Sorry that my bee fact was wrong. I saw it mentioned and just thought that it was correct, but had not had the chance to check it out for myself
One cool thing about the dragon scales is that you have to walk really far away for them to despawn. You can attach them to zonai devices and the devices will behave the same way as the scale, taking more of a distance to despawn. This even works with the auto build version of the scales.
Brightbloom seeds basically do the same thing, and are on an entirely unrelated system of despawning that applies to whatever you stick them to. Brightbloom seeds are also very handy anyways. Spotlight is the most depressed Zonai device.
@@DoctorOfPlague890 Brightbloom seeds don't care how far away you are, they don't despawn unless you do something that unloads things, or throw enough after sticking your vehicle that it is removed. I don't know what that limit is, but it is hours of depths exploration long. It also costs no zonaite, doesn't contribute to the attatch limit, and generates light, which is helpful at night or in the depths, especially if your vehicle rolls away into the dark. It's also indestructible unless the part it sticks to is destroyed, cannot be detached by any amount of force. It can be attatched ad-hoc to any vehicle, unattatched complex component, piles of weapons you are wheeling home, mirrors, or anything you don't want to respawn for a while. Also you already have hundreds of the things.
if u fuse a gleeok horn to a eightfold blade it will shoot a elemental attack such as the gust of wind it shoots out but elemental. But This also works with The dragon horns and keese wings. Try it out it works its a cool detail that works
8:42 you totally can, I already managed to turn on light switches with multishot bows, even with regular 3 shots bows, but you may need to shoot several times in a row in bullettime.
i thought the difference between the aerocuda and keese eyeballs was that the aerocuda moved faster, seems i was wrong lol, also, thanks for putting the effort into these videos, really useful
The three classes of weapons have hidden damage modifiers: one-handed weapons have a 1.0x attack modifier (meaning they deal exactly the amount of damage the game says they do), two-handed weapons have a 1.05x attack modifier (5% more damage than what the game says), and spears have a 0.75x attack modifier (25% less damage than what the game says!).
If you want to be exact, the displayed stat for spears is 1.3268x the true damage (true damage is ~0.7537x the displayed stat). But the difference is small enough that it doesn't matter for any possible spear combo, unless you're hacking in ridiculously powerful spears or something. Also, _fused items_ and the _attack up modifier_ are 1.05x effective on 2H weapons, rounded down, and 0.75x effective on spears, rounded up.
Best way for farming keese eyes is to go into cave entrances where those massive swarms appear and shoot a bomb arrow into them. If you time it right you can get around 14 keese eyeballs each time
One good reason to reignite/refreeze elemental Taluses is that you can then remove their element again to stun them, rather than having to wait for them to power back up on their own.
With the igniting talus thing this also applies to their crit spot so if you're whacking an igneo talus with a fire weapon you'll relight it under your feet so take care to pay attention to your weapon element against the ones with elements
A useful trick which can be used is elemental gems on master sword : when you shoot a beam with it you will also shoot an elemental projectile, an other quit interesting thing is fusing elemental lizalfos horns to an eightfold longblade : the regular wind slash that the weapon make will be turned into an elemental one which is crazy strong
Nice video! To clear up the bee rod misconception, the bees do not attack you in certain non-hostile areas, like in towns or under lightroots. Being attached to a rod doesn't seem to make a difference.
I like how depending on the kind of material it removes the blade of your weapon or tries to add into it. Sometimes it just looks silly like with molduga wings, but sometimes you get neat things, like an axe if you fuse a hinox nail to a one handed melee weapon, or something idk how to say in english if you fuse it with a spear. I specially like how it seems intended to have some of them look suspiciously designed for some weapon, like gleok horns and royale claymore, or blue moblin horns and that weapon that Yunobo uses. I like horns because when they remove the blade, they have conveniently the form to replace it and look cool.
The Term you're looking for the Stone-fused-Spear variants is *a Glaive* - designed with a Curved Blade out front, rather than a Pointed Tip. And with the lower number of Yiga BladeMasters in Overworld Ambushes, you're best to Fuse Dragon Horns to your Longblades - they provide the highest Elemental Damage Buff to the Blade Wave attack, and all look awesome to boot!
Early in my playthrough i tried to see if bomb flowers cooked over an open flame like apples mushrooms and meats do...Needless to say it didn't go well
dazzle fruit can easily stun any frox, making it so that you don't need to hit the eye. also to make dazzle fruit work on light sensors, you need multiple shots while in bullet time
5:15 What about boomerangs? I seem to recall getting use out of an electric keese eye on the Sea-Breeze boomerang; though my memory is far from infallible.
Keese eyeballs do nothing at all on boomerangs, they don't even give the same distance increase that keese wings do (like both do for arrows). This is from my testing but I'd love to be proven wrong somehow.
You have to be in bullet time and as close as possible for the dazzle fruits to work and you have to shoot it 2-3 times for bigger mirror triggers. 1 time is sometime enough on small mirror triggers though.. A 5 shot Lynel Bow also helps a lot although I've done it with the Forest Dweller's Bow too.
The Hinox toenail can do it, too. The Boss Boko 1 horn does not cut trees, tragically. The Lynel Hoof also has the mining application, and is borderline useless otherwise. The Soldier Construct 3 horn on the Master Sword also is a very good general use, disposable utility weapon, being low value, but having just enough raw damage to break anything in one shot.
Iirc, bokoblin horns aren't actually sharp enough to cut trees. I think it's because they are supposed to resemble spear tips, so they are made for thrusting instead of cutting.
There are three factors that go into tree cutting First, weapon sharpness, a weapon has to be sharp to cut trees at all, but any kind of sharpness will help. Spears DO NOT ever acquire this when used as a base, and cannot cut trees or grass, though they can when used as an attachment. Second, damage, I forget the threshold but trees have a certain amount of "health" that cutting weapons deplete when they strike them. Deplete this health, and the tree falls over, whether that takes 1 hit or 10 Third, the tree cutting tag, which specifically comes from the axehead rocks, Blue, Black, and Silver Boss Boko horns, and Hinox toenails. They apply a multiplier for damage vs trees (and things like wooden boxes), I forget the multiplier, but it's pretty substantial. Iirc two handed weapons in general also get a damage multiplier against all objects as well. A two handed sword will just chop down a tree or break ore in fewer hits than an identical one handed sword, even factoring the 5% damage buff. Incidentally, the quality that lets rocks mine better is a similar flag to tree chopping, not every blunt weapon has it. Notably, Lynel Hoofs are an item that does, and are basically useless for any other purpose, though all Horriblin horns have it as well
Be careful of other content creators stealing the idea for this series. It occasionally happens to smaller channels like yours and I'd hate to see your work stolen. Just something you should keep in mind. Thank you for the amazing video can't wait for next video!
(This comment has spoilers if u get all shrines) So the reward for all shrines can have some neat details such as if u talk to purah If u talk to purah while u are wearing the ancient hero aspect she will have neat dialogue such as “You look familiar in those clothes but yet still i recognize you in those clothes. I dont really know the exact dialogue she says but it goes something like that.
I hope eventually you do a breakdown of cooking with all of the monster parts (including dragon parts, which I hear are quite powerful). I could never find anything that went into as much depth as you do when it comes to these kinds of things.
Also a couple horn fusions also give an axe property and not just sharp dealing double damage to trees, mainly includes blue through silver boss bokos horns and hinox toenails. Worth having an ability to oneshot evermeans on you or if you ever wanted to deforest a tile in an instant.
Bokoblin horn progression: 1 spike, two spike, three spike, Cat Toy (or star fragment). Moblins: Pachycephalosaurus, Pickaxe (or Longhorn), Pineapple, Curly-Q Horriblin: Hammer, Hammer, Hammer, world's sharpest pompadour Lizalfos: knife, katana, meaner knife (feel like those last two should've been swapped, right?) Maka Albarn Hinoxes: "What's the most Metal thing I can bludgeon monsters with?" 🤘🎸 Boss Bokos: Spearhead, Axe, bigger axe, and then... a chakram for some reason? (I feel like they should ricochet when thrown 😂)
Forest dweller weapons always start deactivated (opposed to elemental weapon, which start active). So switching weapons obviously wouldn't help. Multi-shoot dazzle fruit shots can activate ~some~ light puzzles. It seems there are different length triggers and you can only activate shorter ones. Also it might require being in bullet time.
iirc another interesting thing i found abt monster parts is that the ones that specifically mention fusing it to an arrow in the item desc (boko/moblin fangs, lizal talons, lynel hooves, etc) add double their listed fuse power when fused to arrows. idk if this was already well known and im just a little slow but i only found that out like 120 hours in lmao
Big fan of these videos! One thing I wanted to add about dragon horns (and their respective gems) is that they do have elemental effects like freezing enemies when used fused to a shield in a shield bash attack, unlike their respective fruits. Also, raw meat and drumsticks freeze and cook automatically if fused to a weapon/shield and the player is on fire or frozen, but they fall off immediately. You can fuse em right back on but they don't do anything special
frozen meat works like the sled and carts when fused to shields, allowing you to shield surf more easily and faster than normal. Only works with the more flat foods like fish and meat (and crabs for some reason).
Aside from dealing more damage than a keese wing, Aerocuda Wings add a corckscrew attack to the arrow you shoot, and fusing a gibdo wing acts as a nightlight to arrows - better to use gibdo wings at night
Pine cones and oil jars are classified as a different kind of burning, something like fuel or oil. But they do both share these properties of creating bigger fires and being able to continue burning in the rain.
The throw distance boost from wings also stacks with the weapon modifier that lets you throw farther, for maximum yeet. Forest Dweller Weapons give a boost to elemental part recharge. Light Dragon parts might also make gloom spawned by Hands and a certain miniboss dissapear with less hits.
The best way to keep a vehicle from despawning is to fuse a dragon part to it. I just use the one that spawns on their backs. It goes up to like 2,000 units (because they fall from the sky, so link can get to them). Pro tip: you can move an item up the "most used" tab by spam fusing it to an arrow. Love these videos, thanks!
You can also use a Brightbloom seed, just throw it at a part of the vehicle. They work on a different despawn system entirely, that's not tied to range, but number of currently active Brightblooms, that applies to whatever they are stuck to as well, while also, y'know, providing light.
As far as I know, every weapon with a bone attached to it, like the spiked boko bows for example, benefits from bone proficiency, also idk if the colgera jaw counts or not
Colgera Jaw does not count Molduga Jaw, however, does, and has the highest potential damage out of any weapon attachment (besides the Gibdo Bone) as a result of Bone Weapon Proficiency
Note on blade replacement: Only Sharp horns (boko, lizal, etc) on 1H & 2H swords will replace the "blade", leaving only the hilt & horn. This often means a shorter reach: Claymore + Silver Lizal = a really short 2H sickle. Blunt horns keep the whole base weapon & get glued to its tip, keeping the base weapon's reach. Spears keep their reach with everything, as Sharp Horns only replace the spearhead. So I typically save Sharp horns for spears, and Blunt horns for 1H/2H swords. (also Master Sword remains Master Sword-shaped no matter what's fused)
Blue Lizal and Silver Lynel Saber horns are both longer range than most weapons you can attatch them to. I'm also pretty sure the Boss Boko 1 horn and Blue Moblin horn are weird outliers to their chains that behave like "swords" and don't have the standard features of their lines, but it's been a minute since I did that and could be misremembering.
The Frox's eye hitbox is actually far larger than it seems. Instead of only covering only open part of the eye it covers the entire eyeball, including the parts that are always covered by the eyelid. If you are airborne it becomes a very easy target.
for a guy with only 3.71K subsribers, he makes really good and enjoyable content, and I hope to see more of it. maybe you could go through XP factor next
Two different things, for the dazzlefruit cheese you need to shoot a lot of them with bulletime so that the light lasts to trigger it, and if you go to rijus bedroom in Gerudo village you can fuse the seal plushies to give the same effect as mushrooms, if it’s on a weapon the blue one gives the most damage
Recently I somehow had Link perform the sneak strike animation with a short sword at the end of a regular attack combo. The bokoblin I was attacking was facing me and was not in a state where I should’ve been able to sneak strike him. It may have had something to do with Link being unable to perform a certain animation because I was standing on some steep terrain
i may be wrong, but i think gleeok horns eventually kind of half-loose their charge. it takes a bunch of swings (i'm not sure how many) and i don't think there's a visual indicator, but eventually, instead of the element affecting enemies on every hit, it only affects them on the last one
2:14 reigniting elemental talus’s isn’t something you’d want to do, but it’s good to know in case you’re using a talus heart on weapons. If you attack an igneo talus with an igneo talus heart, it triggers the reignition, making you unable to kill it as quickly (took me way too long to figure out why this was happening to me)
In order for the dazzlefruit to activate the light switches in shrines, try entering bullet time and shooting 2-3 bursts on a 5 shot bow. Because it's all slowed, the light basically hits all at once
3:43 dazzle fruit light shrine thing does work, you just have to shoot it multiple times in a row so the light can grow stronger. Bullet time may be required and definitely helps. Edit: this was addressed in video 5, but hasn't been added to the spreadsheet
Speaking of bone proficiency, you can one-cycle a silver lynel. Get a molduga jaw and attach it to an attack up +10 royal guard claymore, then get it down to 1 durability. It won't break while mounted to a lynel. Get bone proficiency and eat attack up 3 meal. Stun the lynel and mount it. 6 hits while mounted and it's dead. For each weaker variant, subtract 1 from the number of hits. 5 for white maned lynel, 4 for blue maned lynel, and 3 for red lynel. Be careful not to press Y too many times or you'll do a jump attack after killing the lynel and break your lynel bonker.
I've noticed that the monster parts correspond to a certain type of weapon. Horriblins are hammers, lizalfos are swords, boss bokoblins are axes, bokoblins are spears/tridents, talus and lynels are self explanatory, hinox are hammers(?). I'm not sure about moblins. It also seems that silver variants don't follow this.
The multi shot bow with dazzle fruit does work, you have to shoot it more than once though and it works much easier in bullet time. It even works with a 3 shot if you are close enough and shoot fast enough.
Dazzlefruit + 5-shot bow light puzzle skip: I’ve seen a video of it before, but they had to be in bullet time and make 2(+?) shots in quick succession to activate the light sensor.
with the stone talus reigniting thing it is actually a strategy to create a stun lock. Typically you have to wait for the talus to regenerate before you can element it again to get it to fall down stunned. if you reignite it yourself you can immediately stun it again as well
While it's kind of obvious, I think it's worth noting that boomerangs also get increased range from wings. Also speaking of boomerangs, I think attaching mushrooms to them makes it so that they don't stop if they touch a wall or floor? This might also apply to other thrown weapons
The wing one was not obvious to me, nice to know! I cannot replicate the mushroom-boomerang effect you've described, not even at a low angle to walls or the ground.
The switching with Forest Dweller's weapons does work, but you need to unequip it, drop it, pick it back up, and then it will be recharged. I presume this is because the game thinks you picked up a different weapon so it resets the timer, even though you had it two seconds ago
Molduga jaw on an 8 fold short blade allows you to KO every type of enemy that can be affected by sneak strike with no attack up needed. Just the bone stealth set, and you can walk straight into camps at night, use a korok weapon for free puffshrooms... Just do you. Nothing can stand up to it.
Something I’ve personally noticed is that there seems to be different tiers of elemental explosions, with certain materials giving off different levels Shock, ice, splash and fire fruits all give off a sort of tier 1 explosion which is less of an explosion and more just applies the element Chu Chu jellies give off tier 2 explosions which have more range Keese eyes and wings give off tier 3 which have even more range Dragon parts and gemstones give off tier 4 which have a gigantic range
@MiahTRT of course there’s more items that fit since obviously that’s not all the elemental items in the game but those are just some basic examples I have since those are primarily what I use for arrows
5:00 yes it is but I found something else different for the weak point when I was doing my frox medal after climbing on them they can launch you in the air if you jump on them and if you get the right angle you can hit the lump where the eye is and that is also considered an eye shot
A cool thing with dragon parts. any dragon part horn, scale, claw, etc has the highest render distance of any item. I believe you can walk around 2000 meters away from a part without it despawning. using ultra hand to attach dragon parts to any object gives the entire object the 2000 meter render distance. it's also possible to use the zonite version of dragon parts (using auto build without the actual item) for the same effect. love ur content keep it up
Nintendo really went all out on the fuse system. Its going to be hard to play BotW now. Im going to miss Fuse so much. I dont know why I never tried a Gleeok horn on a weapon. Just hoarding them, I guess, in case they were needed in armor upgrades, but now I'm definitely going to try them! Thanks!
7:50 when you fuse any other dragon part besides the shard of the light dragons spike and hit something it heals half a heart instead of a quarter of a heart. I’ve only fused horn shards and spike shards so it may be even more for the other parts, but I think it’s safe to assume it isn’t. Kinda unrelated but the spike shards are blunt and a good fuse with anything you wish to use as a pickaxe for passive heals.
3:35 When bypassing light sensor shrines they said that wrong, to do this you must do anything to get in bullet time and using a multi-shot bow use a dazzle fruit and fire 3-5 shots(depending on multishot) at once (reason for bullet time) take notes that duplex bows do not work for this.
I think that if you combine an elemental Lizolfos horn to the sword that shoots out wind blasts those wind blasts gain the elemental property, but it only works for lizalfos horns
I found out today just having a fire lizalofos tail on your shield acts as a great source. Which is obvious, but it wasn't obvious that it was in effect with it strapped to my back. I found that out standing near some solid ice
Take 4 fleet lotus and add the a light dragon's horn to it. You get 30 minutes of a level 3 speed boost. The duration limit will always be 30 min and can't be exceeded by adding two light dragons horns

One thing to note is that unlike normal bokoblin horns, boss bokoblin horns create axe type weapons, meaning they will be able to instantly break crates even when fused to a spear.
i just break em with a beeg hammer
Enemy horns have different utilities for specific weapon types:
Bokoblin Horns: Swords / Reapers
Lizal Horns: Spears
Moblin Horns: Blunt Two Handed Weapons
Hinox / Stalnox Horns: Boulder Crushing
Horriblin Horns: Mineral Deposits
Lynel Saber Horns: High Tier Swords
Lynel Mace Horns: High Tier Two Handed Blunt Weapons
Boss Bokoblins Horns: Axes for cutting down trees
Any one handed sword can also destroy mineral ores in one hit, as long as it deals 40 damage or higher in one swing because that is the base amount of HP that all mineral deposits have.
Incidentally, the Hinox toenail has this quality too, and will chop trees. The tier 1 boss boko horn does NOT have the axe quality

Aaaaand the Molduga jaw is notable for having the highest damage potential of all weapon attachments with Bone Weapon Proficiency, on top of a base weapon modifier
Aaand the Soldier Construct 3 horn has no special qualities besides being cutting, but, when fused to the master sword, has a nearly perfect damage benchmark to do all utility applications of weapons in one hit (mining, tree cutting, ect) while being fairly low value besides

not really, the brown/normal boss bokoblin is sword shaped so i think this prefix only applies to the blue+ tier (silver and blacks)
If you fuse a Gleok horn to the Yiga Blademaster's wind sword, the "wind" is changed to the element's type! =D
Oh really? That's cool
it can be any elemental modifier i believe
That's something I wanted to try out before I even got the game but I keep forgetting

Although not throwing it yet i think it would explode in water on impact
You reignite a talus (works in breath too) so you can immediately stun them again if you need the extra time.
Or to punish you for making such a goofy mistake.
This is also a holdover from breath of the wild where it’s the fastest way to take them down because you just hit them with the ice and then the fire and you’re good

Hinox nails also makes axes on a fusion
the black and blue versions are axe shaped for a reason

Red and silver are also axe weapons - killing evermeans in one hit. That's the best delineator between axe type weapons and blade weapons

Ah, ok. I didn’t try with bullet time, that makes much more sense 😅
Even just twice in a row with single shot bows can be enough, you just have to be really fast. I got it pretty consistently with a swallow bow
Molduga jaws also benefit from bone weapon proficiency, making them the strongest bone you can use that isn't a one time use(gibdo bones).

But it's a way of representing the rate of attack, so don't throw away all your spears, it evens out
If you want to be exact, the displayed stat for spears is 1.3268x the true damage (true damage is ~0.7537x the displayed stat). But the difference is small enough that it doesn't matter for any possible spear combo, unless you're hacking in ridiculously powerful spears or something.
Also, _fused items_ and the _attack up modifier_ are 1.05x effective on 2H weapons, rounded down, and 0.75x effective on spears, rounded up.
Best way for farming keese eyes is to go into cave entrances where those massive swarms appear and shoot a bomb arrow into them. If you time it right you can get around 14 keese eyeballs each time
One good reason to reignite/refreeze elemental Taluses is that you can then remove their element again to stun them, rather than having to wait for them to power back up on their own.
With the igniting talus thing this also applies to their crit spot so if you're whacking an igneo talus with a fire weapon you'll relight it under your feet so take care to pay attention to your weapon element against the ones with elements
A useful trick which can be used is elemental gems on master sword : when you shoot a beam with it you will also shoot an elemental projectile, an other quit interesting thing is fusing elemental lizalfos horns to an eightfold longblade : the regular wind slash that the weapon make will be turned into an elemental one which is crazy strong
And I thought the wind slash couldn't get any cooler.
Also, it works with any elemental fuse, not just Lizal horns. My favourite is Gleeok Horns.
Nice video! To clear up the bee rod misconception, the bees do not attack you in certain non-hostile areas, like in towns or under lightroots. Being attached to a rod doesn't seem to make a difference.
I like how muddlebuds work when you use master sword beams
I like how depending on the kind of material it removes the blade of your weapon or tries to add into it. Sometimes it just looks silly like with molduga wings, but sometimes you get neat things, like an axe if you fuse a hinox nail to a one handed melee weapon, or something idk how to say in english if you fuse it with a spear. I specially like how it seems intended to have some of them look suspiciously designed for some weapon, like gleok horns and royale claymore, or blue moblin horns and that weapon that Yunobo uses.
I like horns because when they remove the blade, they have conveniently the form to replace it and look cool.
The Term you're looking for the Stone-fused-Spear variants is *a Glaive* - designed with a Curved Blade out front, rather than a Pointed Tip.
And with the lower number of Yiga BladeMasters in Overworld Ambushes, you're best to Fuse Dragon Horns to your Longblades - they provide the highest Elemental Damage Buff to the Blade Wave attack, and all look awesome to boot!
Early in my playthrough i tried to see if bomb flowers cooked over an open flame like apples mushrooms and meats do...Needless to say it didn't go well
dazzle fruit can easily stun any frox, making it so that you don't need to hit the eye. also to make dazzle fruit work on light sensors, you need multiple shots while in bullet time
5:15 What about boomerangs? I seem to recall getting use out of an electric keese eye on the Sea-Breeze boomerang; though my memory is far from infallible.
Keese eyeballs do nothing at all on boomerangs, they don't even give the same distance increase that keese wings do (like both do for arrows). This is from my testing but I'd love to be proven wrong somehow.
You have to be in bullet time and as close as possible for the dazzle fruits to work and you have to shoot it 2-3 times for bigger mirror triggers. 1 time is sometime enough on small mirror triggers though.. A 5 shot Lynel Bow also helps a lot although I've done it with the Forest Dweller's Bow too.
Yesss! another episode of Hyrule Science!!
the multishot dazzlefruit does work, you just need to enter bullet time and shoot a few times, otherwise the light goes away too fast.
Just gotta say, if an enemy attacks a spring shield they go flying away and it's fun as hell
Don’t forget the boss boko horns can be used to make axes for chopping trees
And certain parts like Horoblin horns and Frox Fangs can do the same for mining.
The Hinox toenail can do it, too.
The Boss Boko 1 horn does not cut trees, tragically.
The Lynel Hoof also has the mining application, and is borderline useless otherwise.
The Soldier Construct 3 horn on the Master Sword also is a very good general use, disposable utility weapon, being low value, but having just enough raw damage to break anything in one shot.
Iirc, bokoblin horns aren't actually sharp enough to cut trees. I think it's because they are supposed to resemble spear tips, so they are made for thrusting instead of cutting.
Silver boko horns cut trees for me, but I haven't tried the other types.
There are three factors that go into tree cutting
First, weapon sharpness, a weapon has to be sharp to cut trees at all, but any kind of sharpness will help. Spears DO NOT ever acquire this when used as a base, and cannot cut trees or grass, though they can when used as an attachment.
Second, damage, I forget the threshold but trees have a certain amount of "health" that cutting weapons deplete when they strike them. Deplete this health, and the tree falls over, whether that takes 1 hit or 10
Third, the tree cutting tag, which specifically comes from the axehead rocks, Blue, Black, and Silver Boss Boko horns, and Hinox toenails. They apply a multiplier for damage vs trees (and things like wooden boxes), I forget the multiplier, but it's pretty substantial.
Iirc two handed weapons in general also get a damage multiplier against all objects as well. A two handed sword will just chop down a tree or break ore in fewer hits than an identical one handed sword, even factoring the 5% damage buff.
Incidentally, the quality that lets rocks mine better is a similar flag to tree chopping, not every blunt weapon has it. Notably, Lynel Hoofs are an item that does, and are basically useless for any other purpose, though all Horriblin horns have it as well
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 thank you for the detailed info!
Be careful of other content creators stealing the idea for this series. It occasionally happens to smaller channels like yours and I'd hate to see your work stolen. Just something you should keep in mind. Thank you for the amazing video can't wait for next video!
(This comment has spoilers if u get all shrines) So the reward for all shrines can have some neat details such as if u talk to purah
If u talk to purah while u are wearing the ancient hero aspect she will have neat dialogue such as “You look familiar in those clothes but yet still i recognize you in those clothes. I dont really know the exact dialogue she says but it goes something like that.
Thank you for me mentioning the spoiler so I could avoid reading your comment!
Geurudo Spoilers
Another thing I learned recently is that Bomb Arrows can be used instead of Riju’s Lightning for destroying Gibdo Hives
Who's riki?
I hope eventually you do a breakdown of cooking with all of the monster parts (including dragon parts, which I hear are quite powerful).
I could never find anything that went into as much depth as you do when it comes to these kinds of things.
The dazzle fruit bit works, but you have to use bullet time to shoot twice for a total of ten dazzle arrows
3:44 I've heard this trick before, you have to enter bullet time and fire twice with a multishot bow with dazzlefruit for it to work
Also a couple horn fusions also give an axe property and not just sharp dealing double damage to trees, mainly includes blue through silver boss bokos horns and hinox toenails. Worth having an ability to oneshot evermeans on you or if you ever wanted to deforest a tile in an instant.
Bokoblin horn progression: 1 spike, two spike, three spike, Cat Toy (or star fragment).
Moblins: Pachycephalosaurus, Pickaxe (or Longhorn), Pineapple, Curly-Q
Horriblin: Hammer, Hammer, Hammer, world's sharpest pompadour
Lizalfos: knife, katana, meaner knife (feel like those last two should've been swapped, right?) Maka Albarn
Hinoxes: "What's the most Metal thing I can bludgeon monsters with?" 🤘🎸
Boss Bokos: Spearhead, Axe, bigger axe, and then... a chakram for some reason? (I feel like they should ricochet when thrown 😂)
Forest dweller weapons always start deactivated (opposed to elemental weapon, which start active). So switching weapons obviously wouldn't help.
Multi-shoot dazzle fruit shots can activate ~some~ light puzzles. It seems there are different length triggers and you can only activate shorter ones. Also it might require being in bullet time.
Love the work, keep it up. Watched the whole thing.
dragon horns have a unique fusion with the yiga longsword where there element fuses to the wind slice charge attack its kinda epic
All elemental horns do this to the yiga longsword, not just dragon horns
@@1snivy10 i think the gleok howns overwrite the blade with there own effect though
iirc another interesting thing i found abt monster parts is that the ones that specifically mention fusing it to an arrow in the item desc (boko/moblin fangs, lizal talons, lynel hooves, etc) add double their listed fuse power when fused to arrows. idk if this was already well known and im just a little slow but i only found that out like 120 hours in lmao
I just got the game last night and your video really saved my life in some case. Keep up the good work! 😊
This is such a cool little series, love it
Big fan of these videos!
One thing I wanted to add about dragon horns (and their respective gems) is that they do have elemental effects like freezing enemies when used fused to a shield in a shield bash attack, unlike their respective fruits.
Also, raw meat and drumsticks freeze and cook automatically if fused to a weapon/shield and the player is on fire or frozen, but they fall off immediately. You can fuse em right back on but they don't do anything special
frozen meat works like the sled and carts when fused to shields, allowing you to shield surf more easily and faster than normal. Only works with the more flat foods like fish and meat (and crabs for some reason).
Aside from dealing more damage than a keese wing, Aerocuda Wings add a corckscrew attack to the arrow you shoot, and fusing a gibdo wing acts as a nightlight to arrows - better to use gibdo wings at night
Fusing stuff to the zoanite weapons turns off the glowing blade, but if you swing it around, you can still see a blue swinging effect
Pine cones and oil jars are classified as a different kind of burning, something like fuel or oil. But they do both share these properties of creating bigger fires and being able to continue burning in the rain.
The throw distance boost from wings also stacks with the weapon modifier that lets you throw farther, for maximum yeet.
Forest Dweller Weapons give a boost to elemental part recharge.
Light Dragon parts might also make gloom spawned by Hands and a certain miniboss dissapear with less hits.
Eyeballs actually do a bit of target and can be shown with boomerangs
The best way to keep a vehicle from despawning is to fuse a dragon part to it. I just use the one that spawns on their backs. It goes up to like 2,000 units (because they fall from the sky, so link can get to them). Pro tip: you can move an item up the "most used" tab by spam fusing it to an arrow. Love these videos, thanks!
You can also use a Brightbloom seed, just throw it at a part of the vehicle.
They work on a different despawn system entirely, that's not tied to range, but number of currently active Brightblooms, that applies to whatever they are stuck to as well, while also, y'know, providing light.
Much appreciated! I love the work you're putting in!
As far as I know, every weapon with a bone attached to it, like the spiked boko bows for example, benefits from bone proficiency, also idk if the colgera jaw counts or not
I'm pretty sure the colgera jaw sadly does not count
Colgera Jaw does not count
Molduga Jaw, however, does, and has the highest potential damage out of any weapon attachment (besides the Gibdo Bone) as a result of Bone Weapon Proficiency
Note on blade replacement:
Only Sharp horns (boko, lizal, etc) on 1H & 2H swords will replace the "blade", leaving only the hilt & horn. This often means a shorter reach: Claymore + Silver Lizal = a really short 2H sickle.
Blunt horns keep the whole base weapon & get glued to its tip, keeping the base weapon's reach.
Spears keep their reach with everything, as Sharp Horns only replace the spearhead.
So I typically save Sharp horns for spears, and Blunt horns for 1H/2H swords.
(also Master Sword remains Master Sword-shaped no matter what's fused)
Blue Lizal and Silver Lynel Saber horns are both longer range than most weapons you can attatch them to.
I'm also pretty sure the Boss Boko 1 horn and Blue Moblin horn are weird outliers to their chains that behave like "swords" and don't have the standard features of their lines, but it's been a minute since I did that and could be misremembering.
The Frox's eye hitbox is actually far larger than it seems. Instead of only covering only open part of the eye it covers the entire eyeball, including the parts that are always covered by the eyelid. If you are airborne it becomes a very easy target.
Forest dweller weapons can instantly recharge their fused material by unequipping the weapon, dropping it, and picking it back up
for a guy with only 3.71K subsribers, he makes really good and enjoyable content, and I hope to see more of it. maybe you could go through XP factor next
Two different things, for the dazzlefruit cheese you need to shoot a lot of them with bulletime so that the light lasts to trigger it, and if you go to rijus bedroom in Gerudo village you can fuse the seal plushies to give the same effect as mushrooms, if it’s on a weapon the blue one gives the most damage
Recently I somehow had Link perform the sneak strike animation with a short sword at the end of a regular attack combo. The bokoblin I was attacking was facing me and was not in a state where I should’ve been able to sneak strike him. It may have had something to do with Link being unable to perform a certain animation because I was standing on some steep terrain
i may be wrong, but i think gleeok horns eventually kind of half-loose their charge. it takes a bunch of swings (i'm not sure how many) and i don't think there's a visual indicator, but eventually, instead of the element affecting enemies on every hit, it only affects them on the last one
2:14 reigniting elemental talus’s isn’t something you’d want to do, but it’s good to know in case you’re using a talus heart on weapons. If you attack an igneo talus with an igneo talus heart, it triggers the reignition, making you unable to kill it as quickly (took me way too long to figure out why this was happening to me)
In order for the dazzlefruit to activate the light switches in shrines, try entering bullet time and shooting 2-3 bursts on a 5 shot bow. Because it's all slowed, the light basically hits all at once
3:43 dazzle fruit light shrine thing does work, you just have to shoot it multiple times in a row so the light can grow stronger. Bullet time may be required and definitely helps. Edit: this was addressed in video 5, but hasn't been added to the spreadsheet
Speaking of bone proficiency, you can one-cycle a silver lynel.
Get a molduga jaw and attach it to an attack up +10 royal guard claymore, then get it down to 1 durability. It won't break while mounted to a lynel. Get bone proficiency and eat attack up 3 meal. Stun the lynel and mount it. 6 hits while mounted and it's dead.
For each weaker variant, subtract 1 from the number of hits. 5 for white maned lynel, 4 for blue maned lynel, and 3 for red lynel. Be careful not to press Y too many times or you'll do a jump attack after killing the lynel and break your lynel bonker.
Light dragon items should give off the sacred light as a flame that sticks to enemies and saps away their life force for 1 min.
I've noticed that the monster parts correspond to a certain type of weapon. Horriblins are hammers, lizalfos are swords, boss bokoblins are axes, bokoblins are spears/tridents, talus and lynels are self explanatory, hinox are hammers(?). I'm not sure about moblins. It also seems that silver variants don't follow this.
The multi shot bow with dazzle fruit does work, you have to shoot it more than once though and it works much easier in bullet time. It even works with a 3 shot if you are close enough and shoot fast enough.
the little stupid bone chunks you find in the goron area are actually crazy because they count as a bone
3:42 you must do it in midair (bullet time), the light receptor doesn't instantly go 0% power, rather rapidly decreases to 0%.
Good video, hope you feel better
Dazzlefruit + 5-shot bow light puzzle skip:
I’ve seen a video of it before, but they had to be in bullet time and make 2(+?) shots in quick succession to activate the light sensor.
with the stone talus reigniting thing it is actually a strategy to create a stun lock. Typically you have to wait for the talus to regenerate before you can element it again to get it to fall down stunned. if you reignite it yourself you can immediately stun it again as well
I remember that attaching an eye to a spear lets it home in on enemies when thrown, never tried with the other weapons though
While it's kind of obvious, I think it's worth noting that boomerangs also get increased range from wings. Also speaking of boomerangs, I think attaching mushrooms to them makes it so that they don't stop if they touch a wall or floor? This might also apply to other thrown weapons
The wing one was not obvious to me, nice to know! I cannot replicate the mushroom-boomerang effect you've described, not even at a low angle to walls or the ground.
@@SaturninePlaces That's strange, I definitely recall boomerangs bouncing on the floor and coming back
The switching with Forest Dweller's weapons does work, but you need to unequip it, drop it, pick it back up, and then it will be recharged.
I presume this is because the game thinks you picked up a different weapon so it resets the timer, even though you had it two seconds ago
Molduga jaw on an 8 fold short blade allows you to KO every type of enemy that can be affected by sneak strike with no attack up needed. Just the bone stealth set, and you can walk straight into camps at night, use a korok weapon for free puffshrooms... Just do you. Nothing can stand up to it.
The kings scales act as a sort of water wing, increasing arrow range and weapon throwing range, but it breaks on hit
Something I’ve personally noticed is that there seems to be different tiers of elemental explosions, with certain materials giving off different levels
Shock, ice, splash and fire fruits all give off a sort of tier 1 explosion which is less of an explosion and more just applies the element
Chu Chu jellies give off tier 2 explosions which have more range
Keese eyes and wings give off tier 3 which have even more range
Dragon parts and gemstones give off tier 4 which have a gigantic range
A very solid assessment, I too would categorize them like this!
@MiahTRT of course there’s more items that fit since obviously that’s not all the elemental items in the game but those are just some basic examples I have since those are primarily what I use for arrows
Gleeock parts specifically also don't need to recharge between repeat uses
Additionally, gems on arrows go BOOM
Underrated channel. These vids are really well done.
Gibdo bones are also affected by bone prof
5:00 yes it is but I found something else different for the weak point when I was doing my frox medal after climbing on them they can launch you in the air if you jump on them and if you get the right angle you can hit the lump where the eye is and that is also considered an eye shot
Keese wings are considered sharp so they can change the elements on the eightfold king blade from wind to eight fire ice or lightning
recalling igneo talus fists back at them reignite them. it was very annoying before I got flamebreaker armor
Fun fact, the bomb on targets trick works in BotW
Using a shield that does damage when parrying and immediately dropping a bomb flower explodes it and lets you stay safe.
Funny thing is I clicked on this video expecting to find which horn would make my eightfold blade look most like a big dagger
A cool thing with dragon parts. any dragon part horn, scale, claw, etc has the highest render distance of any item. I believe you can walk around 2000 meters away from a part without it despawning. using ultra hand to attach dragon parts to any object gives the entire object the 2000 meter render distance. it's also possible to use the zonite version of dragon parts (using auto build without the actual item) for the same effect. love ur content keep it up
Brightbloom seeds have a similar effect when thrown at a construct, they have their own rules for despawning that are applied to the construct, too.
Nintendo really went all out on the fuse system. Its going to be hard to play BotW now. Im going to miss Fuse so much. I dont know why I never tried a Gleeok horn on a weapon. Just hoarding them, I guess, in case they were needed in armor upgrades, but now I'm definitely going to try them! Thanks!
Yeah, but BOTW has uncapped fps and reworked shaders. Its shocking how much better the game feels with 120+ frames.
7:50
when you fuse any other dragon part besides the shard of the light dragons spike and hit something it heals half a heart instead of a quarter of a heart. I’ve only fused horn shards and spike shards so it may be even more for the other parts, but I think it’s safe to assume it isn’t.
Kinda unrelated but the spike shards are blunt and a good fuse with anything you wish to use as a pickaxe for passive heals.
3:35 When bypassing light sensor shrines they said that wrong, to do this you must do anything to get in bullet time and using a multi-shot bow use a dazzle fruit and fire 3-5 shots(depending on multishot) at once (reason for bullet time) take notes that duplex bows do not work for this.
About the dazzlefruit in shrines, with me it always works with normal bows.
I think that if you combine an elemental Lizolfos horn to the sword that shoots out wind blasts those wind blasts gain the elemental property, but it only works for lizalfos horns
It works for dragon parts too
3:40 it does work with the multi shot bow, but you have to shoot it twice in bullet time
I found out today just having a fire lizalofos tail on your shield acts as a great source.
Which is obvious, but it wasn't obvious that it was in effect with it strapped to my back. I found that out standing near some solid ice
Take 4 fleet lotus and add the a light dragon's horn to it. You get 30 minutes of a level 3 speed boost.
The duration limit will always be 30 min and can't be exceeded by adding two light dragons horns
I'm pretty sure for the frost gleok horn, you can see the botw ice rod as the blade thing
The bomb flower segment had me dying! Great content as ever.
