If you fuse a cannon to a shield and shield surf in the air if you open your paraglider you can keep launching cannonballs at enemies. This is especially useful in low gravity areas
Oh that actually seems useful Kinda like pulling out bombs while gliding in botw that was fun wish I could airdrop time bombs like that. I don't get much use out of them always waste it cause everything gets out of range before it blows
Stabilizers have a very specific side effect when fused to a boomerang: they make the boomerang not return when thrown, instead going off course half way and falling. It's... probably not useful, but is the most niche interaction I've seen in any fusion.
Seeing as rocket fused shields are sort of the new alternative to Revali's gale, I'd like to actually know whether or not they go higher than Revali's gale.
I feel like even if Gale didn’t go as high, it would still be better, because it’s a lingering updraft rather than one long burst from the rocket shield I don’t know which actually goes higher, though
I'd like to point out that a cannon on one of the otherwise useless sturdy wood weapons lying around is probably the best mining device in the game. You can use the throw button to aim the cannonballs so the fusion is actually useful and doesn't blow you up every time, and is basically 50-60 bomb arrows if you fuse them on those sturdy sticks.
Quick little correction, fusing materials to weapons actually usually gives 25 extra durability, but tree branches are capped to only get 10 extra durability. There are a few weapons that have lower durability caps like the branch, but most will be able to get the full 25
Speaking of bow range , i remember watching some video that mentions how when you fully charge the Zonai bow until it glows it actually has the longest range at 100 compared to all the other "ranged bows" at 40
Could you do a hyrule science video comparing explosives and fire bombs? Like apparently there are 3 barrel types that do 40, 60, 80 damage and you can get them at particular location but I don’t know where. How much do bomb flowers do compared to time bombs? Is there a limit to the amount out damage an explosive could do at once? How does ruby when fired from a bow damage compare to bomb flowers? And does it stack with a 5 shot bow? All questions I have and love to ask
Something I think was missed in the monster part video, is that some parts have the Axe trait. All but 1 Boss Boko horn, and also the Hinox Toenail... (Strangely the Construct Horn 2 Doesn't count as an axe) As for Zonai Parts, I learned that Elemental and Zonai parts have a unique trait when fused with boomerangs. While normally anything that emits an element drains durability when swung, Boomerangs dont drain anything but battery when THROWN. So provided it hits nothing, you can emit elements with no durability cost.
Here’s a fun one for you! If you fuse another weapon to a yiga blade master weapon and the attached weapon breaks in the middle of a power attack, the blade will start throwing out the wind waves from the normal charge attack rapidly as you continue the spin. Unsure if these additional wind blades eat up additional durability
Update on wing duration: their despawn timer only runs while they register as "gliding," which is why going backwards works. TOTK engineers have since made forward facing glider planes that last using a lot of propulsion.
Makes sense. Most likely to account for the boss fight on death mountain. Gliders with 4 fans don’t glide I guess, you can tilt it upwards to fly and it doesn’t despawn as fast
17:59 Mirror shields dont use energy and are a great way to save your dazzle fruit. the more you play with mirror shields and bright bloom seeds you can really appreciate the light/dark mechanics of the game. i wanna say a full moon can still reflect light from the mirror shield, but moving shadows like a battle between the dappled light of trees or passing clouds is both beautful and annoying. edit: also mirror shields dont break your base shield from overuse. if you use ANY energy consuming zonite device on the shield, it will break. so stuff like canons, flame emiters and even the non damaging light shield WILL BREAK. but mirror shields dont break from using its reflective properties.
If you use a lit torch to inflate a balloon it's useful for staying at the same height, and doesn't consume durability Unfortunately the balloon timer makes this pretty useless, hover stones are probably better
For cannon fusions, I recommend using it with spears. Not only does it resemble the historical Medieval Handgonne, it's also easier to aim via the throw button.
Something that's nice about fusing mirror shields is that if you drop them they act like regular mirrors that you can move with ultrahand. You can use this to circumvent some light puzzles by bringing in extra mirrors you're not meant to have. Though the dazzle fruit method in bullet time you mentioned works for those anyway.
Thanks for researching and documenting all of this. Huge disappointment (and oversight almost) that mirrors don't reflect light from the light zonai device. I guess to prevent puzzle cheesing?
fan on back = sprint fan on hand = fan that you can aim rocket on back = fly up like a rocket on a shield rocket on hand = shoot rocket like a bow balloon on back: nothing mushroom on hand: boxing gloves, punch bokos off cliffs
@@supremechaosbeing2696 i seen some other people comment saying that balloons allow you to glide like with wings and hover stones, im not too sure though as ive only ever tested the hover stone when i first unlocked mineru
If you fuse lights to a shield or weapon, it can remove the armor that gibdo's have making them easier to kill. This also works for mirrors and the elemental emitters.
The extra nice part about this is that it doesn't cost any battery or durability. When I tried to build a gibdo hunting machine I stuck a mirror on a construct head and it blinded everything and stunned gibdos.
Not sure if you’ve covered this already in a past video, but if you fuse a fan to a shield, you can shield surf jump off of a high ledge with a normal shield, start paragliding, and then swap to your fan-shield for powered flight.
When a shock emitter (or any metal touching one) is stuck in water it has an effect on the surface of the water showing the range you or an enemy can be shocked from but there's a second radius around 3x bigger that kills fish
First channel I’ve turned notifications on for! Btw, I think that mirror shields can bounce away elemental attacks from wiz robes and such, but I’ll go test it more. :)
an important part of the item despawn range you forgot to mention: the despawn radius is the same for both the real items, and duplicates created by consuming zonite in autobuild. so, as a result you can just add a dragon part to a build, favorite it, and now you're build will have a 2km despawn radius instead of its normal one, for only an extra 3 zonite consumption per build. Personally I used this on my hover bike, and used a farosh horn to compensate for slight alignment inaccuracies when placing the fans on the steering stick by placing it intentionally off-center, correcting the center of balance so it doesn't drift anywhere near as much. one more use for portable pots: their "hammer" quality that breaks rocks more effectively also applies to arrows, allowing a pot-fused arrow to one-shot bokoblin armor, and do a big chunk of damage to lynal armor.
Something worth pointing out - dragon parts, star fragments, golden apples, and probably a few other items I'm forgetting automatically give crits when cooked with. Generally, a crit gives some more health, an extended effect timer (which doesn't stack with the dragon part timer increases), or a stronger effect (i.e. level 1 to 2 or 2 to 3). Crits can also happen randomly (apparently more ingredients = more likely crit), or you can cook during a blood moon for guaranteed crits.
Fusing a fan to a shield and then shield surfing into a glide (or just swapping to it while gliding) will actually give you a little speed boost while gliding! It's not life changing, but it is nice if you have a spare fan shield
After shield surfing with a Cart Shield for a very short time, my shield still had the sparkle effect signifying full durability. After more time, it no longer did. Cart Shields can break from shield surfing.
any water can increase the range of a shock emitter. if you attach a hydrant so the water is touching the electric spike, then it will greatly increase the range of the electricity
also if you wet electric lizalfos they will emit electric buuble (increase range of the electricity as you said) around them for quite some time making it hard to melee them
"Why didnt you just test all the zonai devices together to see how long they last" 1. He would run out of battery 2. You need to be midflight to test wings 3. It requires much more attention 4. Because
Forgot to emphasize you can check out the spreadsheet in the description, so here it is anyways tinyurl.com/HyruleScience EDIT: Yes, I am aware cooking pots break armor and rocks in 1 hit
I can see you really making it big dude! These videos are really helpful and really well made, and I hope you get more of the views and subs you deserve!
Go to the right leg depot i believe it is, remove the fans from one of the elevators, and on the side connect 2 stabilizers to the side of the elevator (the bottom should face you, and the top should be connected) if you did it right it should rip off the railing which is something people recently discovered and has nearly no gravity making it really good for flying builds and is basically revolutionizing building right now.
You are doing gods work! I gave up on beam emitters a bit, they are just too weak (12 damage, f=0.5/s). Now I am building war machines that use the geminik motor and rotating weapons (scimitar of the seven) For that, I would be interested if you could break down the Zonai devices and additional parts in shrines as well. Also, I would like to know if weapons I fuse to stuff with ultrahand have some kind of durability. And could I replace the scimitar of the sevens with royal guard weapons that are about to break if they have infinite durability? If I autobuild them, and in my original build, they had one durability left (so x4 damage), would they still have that multiplier in the autobuild? Do they even have that multiplier in the original, or only if Link holds them?
6:11 This design is really interesting! What is the best way to rotate objects in the game in terms of speed, between geminik motors with electricity, small wheels like here, big wheels and so forth?
I have a question, what would happen if you were to attach a frost gleeok horn to a boomerang, then throw the boomerang over water or lava? Would this make long ice platforms like how frost emitter do?
It’s cool to note that steering sticks essentially negate fall damage if you’re on one that’s attached to something (idk when it’s not attached to smth tho haven’t tried) Nice video I love watching these :D
Springs can also be used to create suspension when in their ‘used’ form by connecting things to the extended portion of the springs rather than the main body of it
Forgot whether Rockets have a timer when throwing a weapon. If a Rocket expires while fused to a thrown boomerang, what happens to the boomerang’s flight path?
3:10 Also elemental keese wings work. 3:51 I believe having long throw or a keese wing enhances the distance of a throwing spear to a greater distance. 8:22 they're really good on thrusting weapons like spears. 11:53 Steering sticks entirely eliminate fall damage. 14:03 Because of the logarithmic nature of spring heights the tallest a spring stack can get with gaining noticeable height is 5 springs. 15:07 It seems you may know this, but throwing also works, I suggest fusing to a spear for increased accuracy.
So a minor correction RE: wings and despawn time. It's been found that their timer counts down anytime that they're generating *lift* so as long as you're providing enough lift to a build that uses a wing to the point where it no longer has to supply any, it won't despawn. This means you can fly it forwards no problem without it despawning -- flying it backwards was ultimately unnecessary and caused poor handling because it REALLY want to fly forward and upright. This means you can combo balloons and wings to extend both of their respective ranges. A fan with a flame emitter stuck on either side of it and a steering stick on the front can be used as a flight core on top of a wing with two balloons, and pulsed flight used to alternated use of the fan/lift from the balloons+emitters and gliding with the wing. You can go just shy of 1500 in-game meters using this method before you need to replace the balloons and wing, making it a very useful early-game long distance flyer, or a fun mid/late-game flyer that's just more engaging than using a hover bike/goblin glider and uses parts you probably have an excess of to save on Zonaite.
Follow-up re: attaching dragon parts to vehicles for extending the despawn range - autobuilt dragon parts also work for that and only cost 3 Zonaite to create (well, the scales only cost 3; haven't tested the other types of dragon parts), so you don't even have to use/consume a single dragon part for this. Just attach a real dragon part, save the autobuild, detach the part and pick it back up again
One of the few advantages of the time bomb. Is its resistance to burning environments. If you try to trow or shoot bomb flowers while in a cave on deathmountain, it will explode while still next to link. Where as time bombs wont explode until you trigger them
Next time you do testing for throwing/shooting ranges, it helps to turn off motion aiming to avoid the little inevitable jitters that come with it. That way you have a prefect point of reference for everything you test from that spot.
Thank you so much for all your help! Also Zonai cooking pots do not use fire and can be used as a 'fireplace' to pass time even during the rain, according to in-game tool tips. Also in some places I found that the balloons just don't go up anymore, and I wasn't even at the skybox limit
Perhaps this was already mentioned in a previous video, I cannot remember, but the wind on the Yiga blade will also afflict enemies with the muddlebud affect, and, interestingly enough, not consume the fused material on the sword.
Something I’ve noticed is if you spray water (primarily using a hydrant) onto an electrified object (primarily a shock emitter) you get this interesting Tesla effect where anything that gets close will be shocked rather than if you touch it directly
I HAVE 2 THNIGS TO MENTION 1. If you wear the Tunic Of Memories or The Champion's Leathers you can use the Master Beam Blade Attack(long but cool name), regardless if you have max hearts. 2. While wearing either Tunic the Master Beam Blade Attack distance will be determined by how many current hearts you have. 3. YOU CANT PET THE DOG 0/10
I'm unsure if any of what I'm about to say has already been said, but I'll say some things anyways. 1. Zonai Stakes are able to be destroyed while on a wall. I'm unsure the conditions though, so someone may need to look into it. 2. Zonai Balloons can slow down the fall of what it's attached to, giving some use. 3. Hover Stones are immediately destroyed when shot from multi-shot bows (at least the lynel ones do). 4. In order for rockets to work, it needs "breathing room." An example of this is by putting the bottom of one on the center of a cart. This will cause it to not work and break off instead. While that's all for the stuff said in the video, I do wonder if it's possible to make a quick thing to show what each device does with Mineru's construct.
Is it just me, or do the arrows shot using the demon kings bow fly faster and further than an average bow? Also, though it’s obvious that the frox can jump very far, they can also jump VERY high. Try finding a cliff near in, they will jump INSANELY high to attempt to swallow you.
This one's cool! If you fuse a stake to an arrow and shoot it as high as possible (from ground level) and then move fast toward the place of it's eventual landing point, you will find the stake lodged into the ground!! What you can do with this is you can glue a platform to it, get on it, and recall the stake. You can ride the stake's arc!!
Some results of some tests I ran: Fusing a korok leaf to a two handed weapon gives it the charge attack of the korok leaf from botw. Three tests that returned negative results: -fusing a balloon to a wooden weapon or shield and then setting it on fire doesn’t allow you to fly -although you can use recall on a cannonball, you cannot use ultra hand or fuse on it -attaching a battery to a Zonaite bow doesn’t consume the battery, and instead uses your normal charge
I may be wrong on this, but I think that when you Shield Surf on a sled shield on sand and snow, it doesn't use any durability. I haven't tested this but I know that I did the entire Gerudo quest with only one sled shield, which took absolutely forever to break, and once I got a *new* sled shield, I used it on grass for a bit and it broke much much quicker.
Horizontally opposed stabilizers not only provide low-grav effect; it also resists rotational motion (north-south-east-west stability, rather than vertical). Can help stabilize certain types of otherwise unstable vehicles that spin out of control.
For anyone curious about the wing shield fusion it’s a little frustrating to use. Just know that you have to draw the bow out twice, the first time puts the shield away and the second time finally pulls out the bow to enter bullet time. So just double tap the r trigger, it’s just annoying enough to pull off that I haven’t used it in battle that much. Particularly because you’re so close the the ground anyways that you only get like a brief moment of bullet time until you land
150 hours in a I still haven't ever used a hover stone. Never knew they could give you a free platform midair to get more stamina while gliding. Really cool stuff
The benefit to memory problems is that I can watch new things more than once - I watched the video uploaded this week and was like huh, let's watch the rest! And it wasn't until halfway through this one that I was like. This is familiar...
Useful cooking pot tip: If you fuse them with an arrow, it gets a smashing ability. iI does massive damage to the armor of armored enemies. Sometimes it even one shots the armor. :)
Something I noticed is that basically with the exception of balloons, wings and apparently mirrors, if it doesn’t use energy, it never disappears. Otherwise it disappears in 30 minutes.
The crystals inside the rocks and soil of the sky islands are related to the ones probably located in hoverstones, meaning zonaite uses power attained in the crystal to float, it was probably the first discovered device considering how much of it is just crystal.
Wow fusing hover stones to arrows helps so much with stamina constraints when traversing asnd helps get bullet time height against some gleeoks, I wish I knew this sooner. And stakes on the wall? That's cool too
Beam Emitters also shine light on the surfaces they hit, making them useful as a method of wall detection while flying through the depths, where the normal zonai light is not sufficient.
You forgot the most important detail of the Zonai Homing Cart
It wags a little tail when searching for enemies because it's a good boy.
True, it’s such a good boy!
Who’s a good boy?? You are, homing cart!!

When fusing a wing or hoverstone to mineru’s back part, she gets a slow falling effect when using the back part
this also works with balloons

Slow? I thought the hoverstone would keep her in place
That seems pretty useless given that Mineru already negates fall damage

For spring the logarithmic maximum before you stop gaining height is 5 . The most optimal is three springs. (It’s a secret build print you get)
Attaching spring stacks of 3 or more to the ground with a stake also improves the functionality by preventing the bounceback effect

EDIT: Yes, I am aware cooking pots break armor and rocks in 1 hit
*Cooking pot Arrow fusion will break rocks/armor.
portable pots break most enemy armor in one hit
So Zonai Tech is inferior to Sheikah Tech in terms of longevity.
@@jakeblancaster8498 yeah pretty much
Fan Shields can propel you if you do a shield jump and glide.
Attaching a wing to Mineru's back lets her glide. A hover stone lets her walk in midair.(It does still lose some verticality though.)
Woah really? Definitely gonna have to test that
Also the balloon device to ascend, albeit slowly
@@GreatWhiteElf As far as I can tell it just makes her fall slowly
@@yigawaffle I've used it while on the ground, it definitely goes up
@@GreatWhiteElf huh. do you mean zonai balloon or octo balloon
I can see you really making it big dude! These videos are really helpful and really well made, and I hope you get more of the views and subs you deserve!
Go to the right leg depot i believe it is, remove the fans from one of the elevators, and on the side connect 2 stabilizers to the side of the elevator (the bottom should face you, and the top should be connected) if you did it right it should rip off the railing which is something people recently discovered and has nearly no gravity making it really good for flying builds and is basically revolutionizing building right now.
You are doing gods work!
I gave up on beam emitters a bit, they are just too weak (12 damage, f=0.5/s). Now I am building war machines that use the geminik motor and rotating weapons (scimitar of the seven)
For that, I would be interested if you could break down the Zonai devices and additional parts in shrines as well.
Also, I would like to know if weapons I fuse to stuff with ultrahand have some kind of durability. And could I replace the scimitar of the sevens with royal guard weapons that are about to break if they have infinite durability? If I autobuild them, and in my original build, they had one durability left (so x4 damage), would they still have that multiplier in the autobuild? Do they even have that multiplier in the original, or only if Link holds them?
6:11 This design is really interesting!
What is the best way to rotate objects in the game in terms of speed, between geminik motors with electricity, small wheels like here, big wheels and so forth?
I have a question, what would happen if you were to attach a frost gleeok horn to a boomerang, then throw the boomerang over water or lava?
Would this make long ice platforms like how frost emitter do?
It’s cool to note that steering sticks essentially negate fall damage if you’re on one that’s attached to something (idk when it’s not attached to smth tho haven’t tried)
Nice video I love watching these :D
Hoverstones on arrows would've helped me many times, but it didn't occur to try...
MORE HYRULE SCIENCE LET’S GOOOO!
Actually, portable pots are very good at breaking armor. Fuse one to an arrow, and shoot an armored enemy. And it will shatter
im definitely gonna be using that stake tech in the depths, thats so smart.
If you attach multiple construct head to a device, it will only activate when the first attached one sees an enemy. The others can still aim though
Springs can also be used to create suspension when in their ‘used’ form by connecting things to the extended portion of the springs rather than the main body of it
Cooking pot arrows actually shred armor very well.
According to Austin John Plays he found that the Zonaite Armour Actually goes 125%, 150%, 200%, when it comes to the bonus
Forgot whether Rockets have a timer when throwing a weapon. If a Rocket expires while fused to a thrown boomerang, what happens to the boomerang’s flight path?
I went back and watched your first episode after watching this, congrats on making a 20 minute long video this informative! I know its not easy :)
I think using a zonai wing backwards allows you to turn flying machines more easily, even if it doesn’t generate infinite lift
3:10 Also elemental keese wings work.
3:51 I believe having long throw or a keese wing enhances the distance of a throwing spear to a greater distance.
8:22 they're really good on thrusting weapons like spears.
11:53 Steering sticks entirely eliminate fall damage.
14:03 Because of the logarithmic nature of spring heights the tallest a spring stack can get with gaining noticeable height is 5 springs.
15:07 It seems you may know this, but throwing also works, I suggest fusing to a spear for increased accuracy.
So a minor correction RE: wings and despawn time. It's been found that their timer counts down anytime that they're generating *lift* so as long as you're providing enough lift to a build that uses a wing to the point where it no longer has to supply any, it won't despawn. This means you can fly it forwards no problem without it despawning -- flying it backwards was ultimately unnecessary and caused poor handling because it REALLY want to fly forward and upright.
This means you can combo balloons and wings to extend both of their respective ranges. A fan with a flame emitter stuck on either side of it and a steering stick on the front can be used as a flight core on top of a wing with two balloons, and pulsed flight used to alternated use of the fan/lift from the balloons+emitters and gliding with the wing. You can go just shy of 1500 in-game meters using this method before you need to replace the balloons and wing, making it a very useful early-game long distance flyer, or a fun mid/late-game flyer that's just more engaging than using a hover bike/goblin glider and uses parts you probably have an excess of to save on Zonaite.
Follow-up re: attaching dragon parts to vehicles for extending the despawn range - autobuilt dragon parts also work for that and only cost 3 Zonaite to create (well, the scales only cost 3; haven't tested the other types of dragon parts), so you don't even have to use/consume a single dragon part for this. Just attach a real dragon part, save the autobuild, detach the part and pick it back up again
I had no idea how hover stone fusions worked! Thank you so much! I love these kind of videos!
One of the few advantages of the time bomb. Is its resistance to burning environments. If you try to trow or shoot bomb flowers while in a cave on deathmountain, it will explode while still next to link. Where as time bombs wont explode until you trigger them
Next time you do testing for throwing/shooting ranges, it helps to turn off motion aiming to avoid the little inevitable jitters that come with it. That way you have a prefect point of reference for everything you test from that spot.
Thank you so much for all your help! Also Zonai cooking pots do not use fire and can be used as a 'fireplace' to pass time even during the rain, according to in-game tool tips. Also in some places I found that the balloons just don't go up anymore, and I wasn't even at the skybox limit
Perhaps this was already mentioned in a previous video, I cannot remember, but the wind on the Yiga blade will also afflict enemies with the muddlebud affect, and, interestingly enough, not consume the fused material on the sword.
Something I’ve noticed is if you spray water (primarily using a hydrant) onto an electrified object (primarily a shock emitter) you get this interesting Tesla effect where anything that gets close will be shocked rather than if you touch it directly
11:30 You forgot to mention that Gorons enjoy fire from an Flamethrower!
I HAVE 2 THNIGS TO MENTION
1. If you wear the Tunic Of Memories or The Champion's Leathers you can use the Master Beam Blade Attack(long but cool name), regardless if you have max hearts.
2. While wearing either Tunic the Master Beam Blade Attack distance will be determined by how many current hearts you have.
3. YOU CANT PET THE DOG 0/10
When a stake hits enemies at high speed, such as when attached to a wheel, it deals MASSIVE DMG to enemies, o! E shotting even silver enemies
I'm curious if a fully pulled back Zoanite bow shoots the same distance and trajector as the Ancient Bow from BotW
I'm unsure if any of what I'm about to say has already been said, but I'll say some things anyways.
1. Zonai Stakes are able to be destroyed while on a wall. I'm unsure the conditions though, so someone may need to look into it.
2. Zonai Balloons can slow down the fall of what it's attached to, giving some use.
3. Hover Stones are immediately destroyed when shot from multi-shot bows (at least the lynel ones do).
4. In order for rockets to work, it needs "breathing room." An example of this is by putting the bottom of one on the center of a cart. This will cause it to not work and break off instead.
While that's all for the stuff said in the video, I do wonder if it's possible to make a quick thing to show what each device does with Mineru's construct.
Is it just me, or do the arrows shot using the demon kings bow fly faster and further than an average bow?
Also, though it’s obvious that the frox can jump very far, they can also jump VERY high. Try finding a cliff near in, they will jump INSANELY high to attempt to swallow you.
The demon king’s bow does shoot arrows farther, yes.
This one's cool!
If you fuse a stake to an arrow and shoot it as high as possible (from ground level) and then move fast toward the place of it's eventual landing point, you will find the stake lodged into the ground!!
What you can do with this is you can glue a platform to it, get on it, and recall the stake. You can ride the stake's arc!!
Some results of some tests I ran:
Fusing a korok leaf to a two handed weapon gives it the charge attack of the korok leaf from botw.
Three tests that returned negative results:
-fusing a balloon to a wooden weapon or shield and then setting it on fire doesn’t allow you to fly
-although you can use recall on a cannonball, you cannot use ultra hand or fuse on it
-attaching a battery to a Zonaite bow doesn’t consume the battery, and instead uses your normal charge
I may be wrong on this, but I think that when you Shield Surf on a sled shield on sand and snow, it doesn't use any durability. I haven't tested this but I know that I did the entire Gerudo quest with only one sled shield, which took absolutely forever to break, and once I got a *new* sled shield, I used it on grass for a bit and it broke much much quicker.
Yep! That’s how it works in breath of the wild as well; shields don’t consume durability when on sand or snow
Horizontally opposed stabilizers not only provide low-grav effect; it also resists rotational motion (north-south-east-west stability, rather than vertical). Can help stabilize certain types of otherwise unstable vehicles that spin out of control.
Using mirrors to reflect light onto a specific gerudo boss puts it into a vulnerable state, it can also be used to easily kill its minions at a range
Loved the video❤ keep up the great work and research
I really enjoy your content, keep up the great work bro. :3
i’m not sure who to tell, so i’ll just put it here. i’m 90% sure that holding a soup ladle will give you a much greater chance of a critical cook.
The dragon bones was really cool. I had know idea that had the wind razor have an elemental effect. That’s so cool
A rocket fused to a weapon makes you attack faster, noticible with the charge attack of a spear
For anyone curious about the wing shield fusion it’s a little frustrating to use. Just know that you have to draw the bow out twice, the first time puts the shield away and the second time finally pulls out the bow to enter bullet time. So just double tap the r trigger, it’s just annoying enough to pull off that I haven’t used it in battle that much. Particularly because you’re so close the the ground anyways that you only get like a brief moment of bullet time until you land
150 hours in a I still haven't ever used a hover stone. Never knew they could give you a free platform midair to get more stamina while gliding. Really cool stuff
The benefit to memory problems is that I can watch new things more than once - I watched the video uploaded this week and was like huh, let's watch the rest!
And it wasn't until halfway through this one that I was like. This is familiar...
Useful cooking pot tip: If you fuse them with an arrow, it gets a smashing ability. iI does massive damage to the armor of armored enemies. Sometimes it even one shots the armor. :)
Something I noticed is that basically with the exception of balloons, wings and apparently mirrors, if it doesn’t use energy, it never disappears.
Otherwise it disappears in 30 minutes.
The crystals inside the rocks and soil of the sky islands are related to the ones probably located in hoverstones, meaning zonaite uses power attained in the crystal to float, it was probably the first discovered device considering how much of it is just crystal.
Yooo lets go new hyrule science video!
Wow fusing hover stones to arrows helps so much with stamina constraints when traversing asnd helps get bullet time height against some gleeoks, I wish I knew this sooner.
And stakes on the wall? That's cool too
Big batteries actually only last for 14 batteries, or 404 seconds
Calculation: 6 minutes*60=360 seconds+44 seconds=404 seconds. 404/28=14.42
Cooking pots can be used as a sort of hinge as the pot and the burner have a round count attaching them. This can be used for great shock absorption!
Homing carts, when fused on a shield, break faster when it’s raining/in water **I THINK** not sure
Beam Emitters also shine light on the surfaces they hit, making them useful as a method of wall detection while flying through the depths, where the normal zonai light is not sufficient.
