To collect the arrows being shot at you, you just need a wooden shield, hold it up and the arrows will stick. When you put the shield away, you'll collect all that were stuck in it! And then I assume you can then run out of sight again.
Early in the game I collect lots of arrows from the middle part of the Hylia Bridge. What is interesting about this is that you can catch the arrows in your Shield like has already been mentioned. But you can also collect arrows from the ground. The Shield will eventually break so you have to put the shield away before it does to collect arrows. The good part of this is you can save the game right there and then reload it. Then you can start collecting the arrows again. Early in the game I will usually collect about a hundred arrows that way until I get bored with doing it.
Nice list! :) Blue chu-chu jelly is a great money-maker in the early game. Throw them in a fire to turn them red, then cook 4 red jellies + 1 critter (cricket, frog, firefly, etc.) to make an elixir selling for a decent price.
There's a woman at the Rito Village that will buy 100 roasted apples for 1200 rupees if you toast them over a fire. Kind of a pain at first to figure out the fastest method of dropping them and picking them up to toast them, but requires no combat. Fast travel to the nearest tower, float over the apple groves, drop bombs to fell the apples.
You're getting different coloured chuchu jelly the hard way. All you have to do is kill blue chuchus with a fire weapon for red, an ice weapon for white, etc.
Or easier still & not destroying said weapons/using their tread warranty just throw 10 maybe 15 down and flame blade near em or electric sword in their vicinity etc try out different weapons in different ways or magnesis a metal whatever in lightning 🌩 storm and hold it up high like Benji Franklin and put it near a bunch of blue things...
Playing for the first time and my mind is blown away by how this game allows you to truly apply yourself and play it as you see fit. Some of these techniques are so clever I can’t even believe it’s not scripted into the game, rather applications of the tools at your disposal.
Hey guys the Red Chuchus will not disintegrate in the fire, I misspoke 😝 apologies! But don’t throw more than 10 or they will disappear! Thank you guys for all the comments it helps others!
For the forest octoroks, you can also just hold your shield toward them, and the rock will just bounce straight back towards them. If you're close enough, it'll kill them instantly. Fun fact, that feature was also in the original Zelda game.
I recommended your channel to my mom after I found it. she's 65 and just getting into gaming, Breath of the Wild is the first Zelda she's really diving into. I think your tips will help her a lot, and without spoiling any of the later game for her.
One thing to note too, you can turn standard Chuchu Jelly into red Chuchu Jelly by just being at Death Mountain. The temperature there is hot enough to convert them instantly, sort of like how you can just cook meat by dropping it on Death Mountain
another important one: durians are the only food you'll ever need after leaving the plateau. head straight to faron, climb the tower, then farm all the trees that sit behind it. cooking one durian will give u full health and 3-4 bonus hearts. when ur out of food, just teleport back to the tower and collect more durians
@@gffn7316 I think you misread something? But my favorite dishes were usually the ones that increased attack, so bananas were my jam. Found in the same region of course. The barbarian armor is my preferred 'stume, but sometimes environments call for different outfits and you lose the strength buff. I generally don't care too much about weapon durability, but I suppose the biggest negative imapct it has on me is I always want to be sure I'm maxing out my damage with whatever weapon I'm currently using, thus locking me into the barbarian set as much as possible.
I second this, you can also find insane amounts of hearty durians on satori mountain when it’s glowing during the night time. Easily the best food item in the game
As someone who was turned off by the lack of direction after leaving the great plateau I recently decided to start a new game and videos like this will be of great help. Will be keeping an eye out for more of these
Same thing happened to me. I got this game months ago, thought it was a sad attempt at a zelda game, decided to give it another try last week and now I'm hooked
The game is insane. I'm literally wandering around with basically no updated clothing and only 4 hearts and doing whatever I want. They want me to save some fish people from a giant robot.
I'm not one to listen to detailed explanations from a game, to my own detriment (I'm looking at you, Twilight Princess Shadow Beast traps) but i enjoy "Things i wish i knew before playing [video game]" videos. Sherry's have helped a LOT of people
@@greenhill004 Never once did those two idiots, who are ALWAYS fighting bokoblins, ever give me anything for helping them. Every plaything since i just watch for a second and continue on
For the White Chuchu Jelly, you don't need to use cold water if you don't want to. Ice arrows and ice weapons work too, with my preferred option being the Blizzard Rod, which is a weapon that is always good to have in your inventory. Also, with the arrow farming, another option to get the arrows to spawn again is to save and reload. I'm not sure which method is faster though.
There are a couple of places on the map with, say 5-6 horse-riding bokoblin archers. Just stay in the middle of them while they fire at you then move your camera to look up at the sky. The bokoblins will miss their shots leaving the arrows on the ground for you to pick up. Also you will take mininal damage doing so.. Save and reload after a while of course :)
With the jellies, there’s an easier way: take a bunch of blue jellies, throw them on the ground, then take an elemental jelly and place it near or in the middle. Use an arrow to shoot the elemental Jelly, and for the cost of one elemental jelly, you’ve got a huge patch of them
For some reason enemies never concern themselves with moving / low levitating metal creates ... just like walking barrels in Wind Waker. You can magnesis a metal box and, holding it between you and the enemy, walk right up to them - as long as you block their view of you
The arrow farming tip is good if you just started, but the best place to really add a ton of arrows quickly is the little donut shaped island in the furthest SE corner, east of Eventide Island. Just grab the chest out of the water for 10 arrows, immediately save and reload, then repeat. The chest is there every time and you don't need weapons or shields and the only danger is occasional lightning.
Okay... Most of this I already knew. But the multi-shot arrow trick at a cooking pot??? THAT never occurred to me. I never saw any arrows left if I missed my target so I assumed they were insta-consumed regardless if the arrows got an enemy, a wall, the ground... This is good info!
You can also use blue chuchu jellies to cool down in a pinch. Chuck some on the ground, hit them with a metal or wooden weapon (no ice/fire/electricity weapons), and they'll splash water on you which gives you about 30sec of heat relief. If you fire an ice/fire/shock arrow at any kind of chuchu, its' jelly will be the element you used on it
Another amazing infinite arrow tip: there is a chest in a pond on a small island east of Eventide island with 10 arrows in it, if you have the DLC, you can place down the travel medallion and fast travel to the same spot, and the chest will respawn with another 10 arrows, if you don’t have the DLC, you can save and reload and the chest will still respawn.
When killing sleeping enemies in a camp, always use sneakstrike with your most powerful weapon, killing stronger enemies last - they might survive a sneakstrike with even a Royal Claymore, getting up and waking the others
If you have the DLC and don't want to go through upgrading the snow armour to pick up front peblets or mount frost taluses, you could go find Zant's helmet. Fir some reason its main ability is the unfreezable power
This is such a good game. I just got a switch a month ago and Zelda is my first game. This game is so impressive and addictive. Thanks for your videos.
@@WTF-Gaming oh dang I gotta make a correction cuz I just noticed you made a bunch of these videos! I meant the ones other folks have made. So far all your videos are super helpful! Thank you!
later in the game, I would go to Eventide Island. There is a shrine there where you can get 10 arrows at a time by using the magnet. 1) Go to the back of the shrine 2) Glide to the large island in front of you. 3) Activate the magnet, and pull up the treasure chest . . . BINGO 10 x standard arrows per chest, max carry is 999.
I've done over 500 hours on this game and even after all these years I still keep finding new stuff! The game is just a masterpiece. Can't wait for totk
First off I just wanted to say that it was refreshing to hear a female voice and one with a southern accent as well. I'm from California, so it's not my accent. 😆 It's nice to hear someone from a different part of the country. Second, I learn a lot from this video. I didn't know you could get arrows from a cooking pot! Regarding the wolves, I like to kill as much as I can for the meat; meat skewers can fetch ya a pretty penny at Goron City. I knew you could change chuchus to other colors, but I didn't know about the water methods. Will come in handy! Thanks!
I know this game has been out for a while but I just started playing it on this oled switch I also just got. Best choice I made in a while. This video is so helpful. Liked and subscribed. Sounds like you're also from the south, lol. Good luck on your algorithm!
She always has the best ideas, like making sure you have room to pick up the enemy's weapons while fighting them. They aren't as tough without weapons.
3:08 Octos pretending to be a chest - test from a distance w/magnesis, if it is not magnetic it is an octo. Toss a bomb to make it pop up, switch quickly to the other type of bomb and toss one, killing the octo
Nice! I've shot the chuchu jelly with electric arrows but never put them in water first. You lose a good chunk of them directly shooting them. Good tip
This is why this game is so incredible to me...with all the many hours I've played BOTW there were several things here that I had no idea about. I have the tears of the kingdom OLED on order and can't wait to play the new game on it!
Good list. The only one I didn't discover while playing was the replacing a rusty weapon with a clean one by throwing it into the stone Octorok. Really cool find.
for the pebblets, you dont have to have the armour requirements, shoot or hit it with the opposite element, then itll turn into a normal, pickupable rock. but only for 30 seconds or so
This is all super helpful info, thank you! I've been an avid gamer for over thirty years going back to early PC gaming and I'm just about to start playing BOTW. I'm huge into immersive RPG and free roam exploration style games and honestly BOTW is the first time I've felt intimidated and overwhelmed by a game in a very long time. I'm looking forward to diving head first into this masterpiece!
Learning new things! I personally use the different rods to make whatever chuchu jelly I need, but that's cool that you can do it all these different ways as well!
With the porgy under the seagulls, if you hit them all with a shock arrow or a bomb, some of them will despawn cause theres too many items. Just jump in with the stealth suit and grab them live to get more :)
Really glad you made this video. I know it’s from one year ago but just watched recently! Helped so much that even changed my perspective of the game from boring to an amazing game!
6:22 In shrines with water on the floor you can raise water towers around the Guardian after getting him onto the shock pile to keep him from moving off. EDIT : if the Guardian looks like it might move off of the swords / shields, use a low-power bow to shoot it in the eye with a regular arrow. One or two shots should be all you need to push it back over the electrical discharge. In shrines that have blocks (which can be lifted with magnesis) you can charge an entire block, giving you a larger area on which to zap 'em
In fact getting used to the fast switching between two bomb types comes in VERY handy all thru the game, as with upgraded bombs you can literally throw bombs without stopping because by the time you throw 1 bomb, the previous will have just recharged. So when upgraded you can literally chain bomb throws relatively fast this way. I use this strategy when fighting Guardian Scouts when they do their laser spin. I can get 4 or 5 bomb throws off on them from JUST outside their laser spin range while they spin for extra damage throughout the phase.
Lol I often use that EXACT same spot on the Plateau to farm arrows early :) Very good strategy early on! You can also just Save/Reload on the spot to get them to start spawning arrows again. I also set myself up just behind them afterwards, save my game then reload & sneak kill them for more arrows, as they almost always drop a 5 arrow pack each.
Just keep a sword of each elemental type for turning the chuchu jelly. Just drop and swing the sword at them. Also blizzard rod for farming apples and fruit. Hold down attack and it'll knock all the items off trees and walls. Cold and hot weapons also work for keeping you hot and cold in opposite climates.
I use bombs to get apples and Hearty Durians by tossing bombs at the trees. Pick up the fruit and then drop a bomb on the downed trees if I need firewood.
Some great tips here! I always need more arrows so I'll start doing that with the bokoblins. And i had no idea the little guardians would respawn after a blood moon in the shrines!
Also for the chu chu jellies you can just kill the blue chu chu with an elemental weapon or arrow of choice and it will turn them into that color and drop that color
For the chuchu jelly’s. You just need to use an elemental swaps. Use a ice weapon to turn them into white chuchu jelly, a fire weapon for red chuchu jelly and thunderblade for yellow chuchu jelly
I knew that killing a chuchu with a flame blade would give you red chuchu jelly but tossing a bunch of my regular chuchu jelly on a fire is going to be so much more convenient. Thank you for these tips!
For the chu jellies I often just use the wands but in areas that are frozen you can just drop them on the ground and they will freeze and near the volcano you can drop them on the ground and they'll become fire type
When you kill most small enemies their drop will be wherever their ribcage is (especially important detail with stal-whatev). Knowing that when fighting near a ledge or in high winds can be important for successful recovery. EDIT : Almost forgot to mention that throwing a stal enemy's skull over a cliff leaves the ribcage up where you are, and avoids unnecessary weapon damage from destroying the skull
If you're trying to do something on shore but an Octo is greifing you, build a wall of ice (or three) right in front of and next to him. Later you can swim to the block, climb it, drop a bomb on him, move away and detonate it. Don't forget to collect his drop
With all the hype surrounding TOTK and having been a massive Zelda fan way back to a link to the past I decided to finally get a switch at Christmas . It came with Mario Odyssey, which was awesome, but my head was always in Hyrule. So I shelled out on BOTW and almost immediately fell in love with the new direction………..then I got hopelessly lost and hopelessly out fought, oh oh , I thought, this isn’t going to work out…..but… Thanks to your simple to follow and informative videos I can now flurry and parry with a good degree of success and I’m beginning to find my way around a lot better. I have just met the Lynel above Zora’s Domain so I have really only just begun - but I’m getting there and I am having the best fun. Thanks.
To get Chuchus of different colors you can also swing and elemental weapon next to them. Don't hit them with the blade, but swing it close enough for the elemental effect to touch them. It's faster than having to go to a special body of water. Also works for pebblets: hit them with the opposite element and they become normal pebblets, safe to pick up without any buff.
If you have run out of stamina (and have no cooking or elixirs) doing give up ! Shove Link against the rockface and he will often ... slowly ... grind his way to level ground where you can start over - without dying
When approaching a skull, you can easily climb up the back (unless it is raining) and by staying newsroom the back (not climbing on top of it) you can kill all the archer lookouts without being detected ... but here's a fun twist when it is loaded with powerful enemies you are not ready for : stand above an eye socket (get close to the edge) and turn to around 45 degrees ... wish i could show you ... and drop a round bomb. You'll know you got the correct angle / position when the bomb rolls back and forth on the bottom lip of the eye socket - before rolling into the skull (unless it's crazy windy). Detonate when you see their life bar move near the bomb, or turn the camera and you can see into the skull, near the front, anyway. Their life bar, after they take damage, will give away their position
I didn't know you could do the Chu Chu's that way. What I've been doing with the blue Chu Chu's is to kill them with a fire blade, thunder blade, or frost blade or spear to get the desired Chu Chu. I like these methods too. Thanks for sharing. You have a lovely accent. Cheers.
Thanks for the tip on the arrows in the cooking. Before I forget (again) thank you for these videos. Very informative. Where have you been al my BOTW life
1.50. Making Ice Chus - if players are nervous about trying your cold water trick, they can get a blizzard rod (you show us where later) and walk around (no special armor needed areas) Goron territory. For some reason fire chus are everywhere, and the blizzard rod both kills them and switches them to ice
Damn! I clocked on this video thinking that it would just have the same old cookie cutter info that all the others YTs have. But no, you actually have good information here that I never knew. (The chuchu jelly i knew but is still good for new players) But like picking up the mini taluses (idk the exact name) is rly cool. Or something like bombing the sand seals, usually people just buy them bc we cant be bothered to sneak up on one but that makes it soooo much simpler. Great job with this video!
What I discovered about ChuChu Jelly is that if you hit a blue ChuChu with whatever elemental weapon, the jelly when it's dead will be the element of that weapon.
For the chuchu transforming, you can put one yellow chuchu next to the ones you want to transform, and blow that one yellow chuchu with a bomb. Just be careful don't let the others get bombed too. It'll explode into electricity and turn the others yellow. That way you save a shock arrow. This trick works for all colors too. Actually the target chuchus don't even have to be blue, they can be any color, they'll always turn into whatever elemental effect they touch.
if you want to do the chuchu jellys faster and more efficiently, you can strick them with any elemental sword and they wil tuen into their respective elements
Chuchu’s are even easier than. That…shoot the big chuchu with an elemental arrow for the desired type you need. Use a shock arrow on a large chuchu, get yellow chuchus, ice arrow for white, fire arrow for red. Then you don’t even have to “convert” them after. Sometimes you will have 3-4 large chuchus pop up at once, I kill each one with a different elemental arrow to stock up on the variety needed for upgrades.
Aah damn. I just commented that kara kara bazar trick on one of your other videos. Well, here's a comment for the algoritme non the less. Great video and voice over.
You can also use any wooden shield to collect arrows. Hold it up when they shoot at you, then, when you put it away, you'll collect all the arrows stuck in it. Just make sure to do so before it breaks, because if it breaks, you're SOL.
I still absolutely love your videos. You have a great voice for voice and the ease to which you speak into the microphone about Zelda makes it very easy to understand. Thank you so much for all your videos. I’m late to the party and just got a Nintendo switch in August for my birthday and broke my ankle in September. I purchased breath of the wild and I’ve been playing it nonstop not being much of a video gamer I have 240 hours into this game and I don’t think that I have “beat it” yet. Gannon is way too scary for me. I’ve already beat the four beasts, but I just can’t muster up the balls to fight him. So I run around collecting things and killing enemies.😅 I’m nearly 50 years old and still love video games. Thanks again. Do you prefer breath of the wild or tears of the kingdom? ?
🤣Never thought about catching one with a shock arrow, good to know, always hate to kill a horse but mine has gotten caught in the cross fire before…thank you!
When clearing water platforms a well placed bomb can often blow an enemy - especially important with stronger enemies - into water, where they will die immediately
To collect the arrows being shot at you, you just need a wooden shield, hold it up and the arrows will stick. When you put the shield away, you'll collect all that were stuck in it! And then I assume you can then run out of sight again.

Yes this can become a very tedious daunting task 😜, but sometimes when we need those arrows, we do crazy things🤣
Yea but then you have to keep getting more shields. This method is way easier.
Just be sure to lower the "shield" from time to time so the arrows go into your inventory and don't just vanish when the shield finally explodes !
It’s insane that I’m still learning new stuff about this game after playing it for over 500 hours.

First off I just wanted to say that it was refreshing to hear a female voice and one with a southern accent as well. I'm from California, so it's not my accent. 😆 It's nice to hear someone from a different part of the country.
Second, I learn a lot from this video. I didn't know you could get arrows from a cooking pot!
Regarding the wolves, I like to kill as much as I can for the meat; meat skewers can fetch ya a pretty penny at Goron City.
I knew you could change chuchus to other colors, but I didn't know about the water methods. Will come in handy! Thanks!
Thank you, and thank you for watching!
I know this game has been out for a while but I just started playing it on this oled switch I also just got. Best choice I made in a while. This video is so helpful. Liked and subscribed. Sounds like you're also from the south, lol. Good luck on your algorithm!
She always has the best ideas, like making sure you have room to pick up the enemy's weapons while fighting them. They aren't as tough without weapons.
3:08 Octos pretending to be a chest - test from a distance w/magnesis, if it is not magnetic it is an octo. Toss a bomb to make it pop up, switch quickly to the other type of bomb and toss one, killing the octo
Just started my first playthrough and some of these tips are amazing!
Thank you, I hope they help and thank you for watching!
Nice! I've shot the chuchu jelly with electric arrows but never put them in water first. You lose a good chunk of them directly shooting them. Good tip
I loved the voice on this video! The accent, the tone, the entonation, the rythm… Kudos to you ma’m..
This is why this game is so incredible to me...with all the many hours I've played BOTW there were several things here that I had no idea about. I have the tears of the kingdom OLED on order and can't wait to play the new game on it!
Good list. The only one I didn't discover while playing was the replacing a rusty weapon with a clean one by throwing it into the stone Octorok. Really cool find.
Thank you, and thank you for watching!
for the pebblets, you dont have to have the armour requirements, shoot or hit it with the opposite element, then itll turn into a normal, pickupable rock. but only for 30 seconds or so
Good tip, thank you!
6:30 NO WAY! THATS SO INGENIOUS! Thank you so much for all the helpful hints! 👍💯
Thank you!
This is all super helpful info, thank you! I've been an avid gamer for over thirty years going back to early PC gaming and I'm just about to start playing BOTW. I'm huge into immersive RPG and free roam exploration style games and honestly BOTW is the first time I've felt intimidated and overwhelmed by a game in a very long time. I'm looking forward to diving head first into this masterpiece!
Thank you, My advice is to take your time and enjoy the journey😉💞
Learning new things! I personally use the different rods to make whatever chuchu jelly I need, but that's cool that you can do it all these different ways as well!
With the porgy under the seagulls, if you hit them all with a shock arrow or a bomb, some of them will despawn cause theres too many items. Just jump in with the stealth suit and grab them live to get more :)
Really glad you made this video. I know it’s from one year ago but just watched recently! Helped so much that even changed my perspective of the game from boring to an amazing game!
6:22 In shrines with water on the floor you can raise water towers around the Guardian after getting him onto the shock pile to keep him from moving off. EDIT : if the Guardian looks like it might move off of the swords / shields, use a low-power bow to shoot it in the eye with a regular arrow. One or two shots should be all you need to push it back over the electrical discharge. In shrines that have blocks (which can be lifted with magnesis) you can charge an entire block, giving you a larger area on which to zap 'em
Good tip, thank you!💞
In fact getting used to the fast switching between two bomb types comes in VERY handy all thru the game, as with upgraded bombs you can literally throw bombs without stopping because by the time you throw 1 bomb, the previous will have just recharged. So when upgraded you can literally chain bomb throws relatively fast this way.
I use this strategy when fighting Guardian Scouts when they do their laser spin. I can get 4 or 5 bomb throws off on them from JUST outside their laser spin range while they spin for extra damage throughout the phase.
Lol I often use that EXACT same spot on the Plateau to farm arrows early :) Very good strategy early on! You can also just Save/Reload on the spot to get them to start spawning arrows again.
I also set myself up just behind them afterwards, save my game then reload & sneak kill them for more arrows, as they almost always drop a 5 arrow pack each.
Just keep a sword of each elemental type for turning the chuchu jelly. Just drop and swing the sword at them. Also blizzard rod for farming apples and fruit. Hold down attack and it'll knock all the items off trees and walls. Cold and hot weapons also work for keeping you hot and cold in opposite climates.
I use bombs to get apples and Hearty Durians by tossing bombs at the trees. Pick up the fruit and then drop a bomb on the downed trees if I need firewood.
Some great tips here! I always need more arrows so I'll start doing that with the bokoblins. And i had no idea the little guardians would respawn after a blood moon in the shrines!
Also for the chu chu jellies you can just kill the blue chu chu with an elemental weapon or arrow of choice and it will turn them into that color and drop that color
Thank you for these tips!! Especially about the jelly, I never knew that. Also your accent is amazing, I loved listening to it
You are welcome, and thank you for watching!
Okay so I figured out the octorok thing myself, but everything else was completely brand new to me and has helped me out A LOT!!! Thank you!!!
You are very welcome, I’m so glad it helps. And thank you for watching!
Picking up Pebblets is pretty OP.
Octorock tip was nice.
Unlimited Arrows is great
Thanks for all the tips
You are welcome… Thank you for watching!
To catch a sand seal, you can also climb on the edge of the wall of the Gerudo Town, and then jump-fly on them, I do that in some of my videos 😉
For the chuchu jelly’s. You just need to use an elemental swaps. Use a ice weapon to turn them into white chuchu jelly, a fire weapon for red chuchu jelly and thunderblade for yellow chuchu jelly
I knew that killing a chuchu with a flame blade would give you red chuchu jelly but tossing a bunch of my regular chuchu jelly on a fire is going to be so much more convenient. Thank you for these tips!
You are welcome and thank you for watching!
Oh wow. This is amazing! I know what to look out for in my next gameplay.
For the chu jellies I often just use the wands but in areas that are frozen you can just drop them on the ground and they will freeze and near the volcano you can drop them on the ground and they'll become fire type
Being able to pick up the pleblets is honestly adorable
If you have bombs selected while gliding you can both drop and detonate them on the unsuspecting -whatevs- below you, but the wind still matters
When you kill most small enemies their drop will be wherever their ribcage is (especially important detail with stal-whatev). Knowing that when fighting near a ledge or in high winds can be important for successful recovery. EDIT : Almost forgot to mention that throwing a stal enemy's skull over a cliff leaves the ribcage up where you are, and avoids unnecessary weapon damage from destroying the skull
Good tip, thank you!
If you're trying to do something on shore but an Octo is greifing you, build a wall of ice (or three) right in front of and next to him. Later you can swim to the block, climb it, drop a bomb on him, move away and detonate it. Don't forget to collect his drop
You can also hit the giant chuchus with the frostblade for ice chuchu, fireblade for red chuchu, and the thunderblade for the yellow ones :)
With all the hype surrounding TOTK and having been a massive Zelda fan way back to a link to the past I decided to finally get a switch at Christmas . It came with Mario Odyssey, which was awesome, but my head was always in Hyrule. So I shelled out on BOTW and almost immediately fell in love with the new direction………..then I got hopelessly lost and hopelessly out fought, oh oh , I thought, this isn’t going to work out…..but… Thanks to your simple to follow and informative videos I can now flurry and parry with a good degree of success and I’m beginning to find my way around a lot better. I have just met the Lynel above Zora’s Domain so I have really only just begun - but I’m getting there and I am having the best fun. Thanks.
Thank you so much and you are very welcome… Take your time and enjoy your journey, I am glad I could help and thank you for watching!
To get Chuchus of different colors you can also swing and elemental weapon next to them. Don't hit them with the blade, but swing it close enough for the elemental effect to touch them. It's faster than having to go to a special body of water. Also works for pebblets: hit them with the opposite element and they become normal pebblets, safe to pick up without any buff.
If you have run out of stamina (and have no cooking or elixirs) doing give up ! Shove Link against the rockface and he will often ... slowly ... grind his way to level ground where you can start over - without dying
When approaching a skull, you can easily climb up the back (unless it is raining) and by staying newsroom the back (not climbing on top of it) you can kill all the archer lookouts without being detected ... but here's a fun twist when it is loaded with powerful enemies you are not ready for : stand above an eye socket (get close to the edge) and turn to around 45 degrees ... wish i could show you ... and drop a round bomb. You'll know you got the correct angle / position when the bomb rolls back and forth on the bottom lip of the eye socket - before rolling into the skull (unless it's crazy windy). Detonate when you see their life bar move near the bomb, or turn the camera and you can see into the skull, near the front, anyway. Their life bar, after they take damage, will give away their position
I didn't know you could do the Chu Chu's that way. What I've been doing with the blue Chu Chu's is to kill them with a fire blade, thunder blade, or frost blade or spear to get the desired Chu Chu. I like these methods too. Thanks for sharing. You have a lovely accent. Cheers.
Thank you, cheers!
Thanks for the tip on the arrows in the cooking. Before I forget (again) thank you for these videos. Very informative. Where have you been al my BOTW life
You are welcome and thank you!
1.50. Making Ice Chus - if players are nervous about trying your cold water trick, they can get a blizzard rod (you show us where later) and walk around (no special armor needed areas) Goron territory. For some reason fire chus are everywhere, and the blizzard rod both kills them and switches them to ice
Good tip, thank you!
Thank you buddy, I just got the Oled Switch and started playing BOTW, your video will help a lot.
Danny from Beirut.
Your are welcome!
I love your accent. Makes these videos that much better 😅 subscribed!
Thank you so much, and thank you for watching!
OMG I just realized about picking those damn rock guys up. So satisfying to turn the tables on them knocking me down cliffs.
WTF! I’ve lost count how many times I’ve played this game and I never knew the arrows and cooking pot trick! Thanks!
You are welcome… Thank you for watching!
Damn! I clocked on this video thinking that it would just have the same old cookie cutter info that all the others YTs have. But no, you actually have good information here that I never knew. (The chuchu jelly i knew but is still good for new players) But like picking up the mini taluses (idk the exact name) is rly cool. Or something like bombing the sand seals, usually people just buy them bc we cant be bothered to sneak up on one but that makes it soooo much simpler. Great job with this video!
Thank you and thank you for watching!
What I discovered about ChuChu Jelly is that if you hit a blue ChuChu with whatever elemental weapon, the jelly when it's dead will be the element of that weapon.
The seal bomb trick is really handy, I really wish I had known that one when I first played (instead of chasing them down for 3 minutes).
🤣🤣
For the chuchu transforming, you can put one yellow chuchu next to the ones you want to transform, and blow that one yellow chuchu with a bomb. Just be careful don't let the others get bombed too. It'll explode into electricity and turn the others yellow. That way you save a shock arrow. This trick works for all colors too. Actually the target chuchus don't even have to be blue, they can be any color, they'll always turn into whatever elemental effect they touch.
Thank you. I have just started BOTW and this video was really helpful. Im trying to work things out as I go, but it can get a little overwhelming.
You are very welcome, thank you and Yes, it can, but just take your time and enjoy the journey!💞
if you want to do the chuchu jellys faster and more efficiently, you can strick them with any elemental sword and they wil tuen into their respective elements
Shoot the chu jelly with an elemental fused arrow or hit with elemental weapon to change the chu jelly to whatever the element is.
I've just discovered your channel. It's wonderful! Thank you so much. 👌
omg i didnt know about the octorock polishing! thats so cool! they have it in AoC so ofc it makes sense
You can also convert blue chuchu jelly to ice chuchu jellies using an ice/blizzard rod :) You can easily do 10 at a time this way w each ice beam.
you're growing so fast, keep going!
Thank you!
Chuchu’s are even easier than. That…shoot the big chuchu with an elemental arrow for the desired type you need. Use a shock arrow on a large chuchu, get yellow chuchus, ice arrow for white, fire arrow for red. Then you don’t even have to “convert” them after. Sometimes you will have 3-4 large chuchus pop up at once, I kill each one with a different elemental arrow to stock up on the variety needed for upgrades.
Really good content. Love learning new things I never knew years ago
Thank you!
you can also use the various arrow types to do the trick with the chu chu jelly making it easier to get the white ones with ice arrows
That is a much easier way to catch a sand seal! even with my stealth armor i have trouble sneaking up on them
Excited to hear how to easily do the test of strengths!
Yes that is One of my favorites!
Aah damn. I just commented that kara kara bazar trick on one of your other videos. Well, here's a comment for the algoritme non the less. Great video and voice over.
😜thank you!
You can also use any wooden shield to collect arrows. Hold it up when they shoot at you, then, when you put it away, you'll collect all the arrows stuck in it. Just make sure to do so before it breaks, because if it breaks, you're SOL.
🤣
These are amazing! great video!
Thank you… And thank you for watching!
If you kill chuchus with a flaming weapon it'll drop red jelly
Nice tips, subbed, gonna try these tips soon! thanks a lot!
You are very welcome, I hope they help and thank you for watching!
I still absolutely love your videos. You have a great voice for voice and the ease to which you speak into the microphone about Zelda makes it very easy to understand. Thank you so much for all your videos.
I’m late to the party and just got a Nintendo switch in August for my birthday and broke my ankle in September. I purchased breath of the wild and I’ve been playing it nonstop not being much of a video gamer I have 240 hours into this game and I don’t think that I have “beat it” yet. Gannon is way too scary for me. I’ve already beat the four beasts, but I just can’t muster up the balls to fight him. So I run around collecting things and killing enemies.😅 I’m nearly 50 years old and still love video games. Thanks again.
Do you prefer breath of the wild or tears of the kingdom? ?
Also nice tip on bombing the sand seals. You can catch a horse easily with a shock arrow too, just use a weaker bow because you *can* kill the horse.
🤣Never thought about catching one with a shock arrow, good to know, always hate to kill a horse but mine has gotten caught in the cross fire before…thank you!
@Gary Williams Never tried ice arrows either, may have to now, great tip…thank you!
Ice arrow is better for horses, because they give you enough stun time to catch up from a far distance
Ice arrow works too
When clearing water platforms a well placed bomb can often blow an enemy - especially important with stronger enemies - into water, where they will die immediately
You definitely deserve more subscribers and engagement omfg.
Thank you!
