Enjoying the series! Here's a neat Korok Frond fact: they are among the lightest items and have been used as structural elements for aerial autobuilds by Hylian Engineers (along with the tumble weed)
Thanks for watching! I did notice that they’re used quite often in builds, I probably should’ve pointed this out since there’s not too much to say about them
Gibdos take damage from water, so you can just use ultrahand to dowse them from a distance with a hydrant. They'll have no idea you're doing it either.
Keeping Link wet serves as a substitute for level 2 of both Flame Guard and Heat Resistance. So if you don't care about cooking or armor, Chu Chu Jelly, Splash Fruit, a Hydrant, or even just Sidon can really come in handy.
@@mustafagumma2533 Zelda’s not with us. Carrying a hydrant with ultrahand would be easier then getting zelda to carry it, as she likely would run away when enemies attack.
Bomb flowers fused to arrows also work to complete some shrine puzzles - the kind where you normally have to hit a target with something heavy. If you shoot a bomb arrow at the target, it counts as solving the puzzle!
Here's an interesting fact: Blood Moons don't respawn Zonai Constructs, due to the fact that they are not Ganons minions (Unlike say a Bokoblin) instead they respawn after a 2nd secret timer that I am unaware of how it works
I've noticed this too, but my best guess from what I've seen myself is 1: they have a timer to respawn (as you said) 2: they only respawn after say, a fast travel, or maybe any loading screen.. so you can theoretically kill every single one if you don't load something lol
6:58 slight correction: Silent princesses are 3x as strong as blue nightshade. All special effect ingredients add the same amount of time, but have different "potency". Blue nightshade is worth 1 potency point, while silent princess is worth 3. You need 1 point for level 1 stealth up, 6 points for level 2, and 9 points for level 3, excluding critical cooking. Austin John Plays made a video on the cooking system.
I would recommend watching Croton’s video instead, since he does a great job visually explaining things and also has more videos with a lot more insight into the game!
I discovered that the flat lava slab you make by throwing water or ice into lava when fused to a weapon makes it into a guster type so it makes puffs of wind when you swing it. But it is also hammer type so you can bash ore with it. So it's a nice two in one tool to have on hand but as a weapon it's pretty weak
If I had a nickle for every time an extinguished Brightbloom tipped me off to a Frox nearby I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Dazzlefruit are also amazing for stunning the adult frox minibosses, it keeps them from throwing you off for a short time. Everytime you think they're about to shake you off, smack 'em with a dazzlefruit, though I think you have to get it near-ish their head given their size. Dazzlefruit AOE is generous but not THAT generous for me.
My usual way of fighting a Frox is to stun it so I can get on its back for my first bit of damage, then, each time it throws me off, I use bullet time to feed a brightbloom seed to it (since I have so many brightbloom seeds and don't use them much) The Frox chewing on something doesn't throw you off like feeding it a bomb flower does, so you can just feed it brightblooms repeatedly to keep it occupied until you finish it off

Fun fact: if you summon bees with a honey weapon the switch off and back on, you can summon a second wave of bees before the first one despawns. For example if you have say a honey sword and a traveler's sword, you can swing your honey sword switch to the traveler's sword, switch back then swing again for more bees. Better yet, if you have TWO honey swords you can cycle from sword 1 to 2 and repeat for rapid fire bees. Now go sweep over Hyrule with your army of bees and become THE BEE KING... If you want...
Fun fact you can use Yunobo ability to light up campfire. You can also use Tulin ability to blows away sand pile (like sand pile that you usually use a fan to blows away the sand, so you get the items inside), but you can do it with Tulin instead.

@@monkeyman55667 it's only durability that matters. you can just drive right away or hit the vehicle with a weapon which doesn't consume durability. maybe use rewind if you fancy. that's just how I've been doing it. i just find it a shame a lot of people seem to not know about the throw ability. it's a great way to save durability. keese and elemental slimes (at least while their element is fully charged) have only one hp so i like to throw my most plentiful, disposable thing to kill those guys.
5:22 just attach a dragon scale with ultrahand. you can go ridiculously far away without it despawning like this. this also works if the dragon scale came from autobuild (with zonaite).
Please make more of these! I had no idea that "weather attack" had such a cool effect - I made the same assumption as you, so I am extremely surprised and happy it does something so interesting.
5:16 One way not mentioned that I've found useful is dropping one while falling into a chasm or similarly high places. The impact plants the brightbloom as long as the drop is far enough. This is useful especially if you dont use a bow/have arrows, or if the place you want the seed to plant isnt conducive to the angle of a bow shot like directly below you.
This is especially handy when dropping down an unlit chasm as it will illuminate your landing area. Whereas shooting with a bow makes it hard to go straight down.

Great video! I swear so many TOTK videos I see on youtube these days are loud/obnoxious, too gratuitous with the jump cuts/music, or just plain low-effort and common sense. I loved everything about this video; your delivery, interesting subject matter, organization/format, pacing, humour and editing were all spot on. It was just a chill, lowkey, informative show where I learned some and laughed some. Almost like... lo-fi TOTK gameplay to chill/vibe to. The editing was non-intrusive - appreciated that it was used briefly to accentuate certain points rather than just *vine boom vine boom fart noise awwwwhhhhhggggg*. And specifically on the pacing part, I liked the way you did a quick rush of a bunch of ingredients before pausing to discuss one further, then another quick rush before slowing down again. Not sure if that was intentional but it was perfect in my opinion, it moved quickly without overwhelming me with info. I also really enjoyed the comment thyme section, cool way to involve your audience and the way you did it made it seem like PART of the show, rather than the part I have to get through before the show starts. Good use of timestamps as well, I really like when I can get a peek at what's coming up or go back later to see different sections. Trying to think of some constructive criticism to use for your next video, but honestly I just liked it all. Subscribing and keeping an eye out for more videos in the future, this is easily my favourite TOTK series yet. I hope your channel blows up homie, you deserve it!
@@riggidynail7228 not sure I’ve managed to do it with a 3 shot bow and bullet time though. I imagine if you do some explosive build shenanigans you could somehow detonate 5 dazzle fruits without a bow.
i wonder if i saved an autobuild of 5 dazzlefruits stuck to a bomb flower (maybe on a stake or something) if i could have an on-demand mirror puzzle buster 🤔🤔
The best way to keep a vehicle from despawning is to fuse a dragon part to it. It goes up to like 2,000 units (because they fall from the sky, so link can get to them).
8:29 fun fact! the stronger fire does double the damage when you stand in it (1 heart rather than 1/2) AND burns up wooden weapons twice as fast as regular fire!
Tip: A certain companion is suuuper helpful for getting into bullet time. I tee up with them while facing a Lynel and then jump off and enter bullet time when I have a clear view for a headshot. Then I hop on the Lynel's back and attack. Rinse and repeat.
Pinecones not only make the fire stronger, but give you a draft you can paraglide up. This effect also gets stronger for additional pinecones hitting the same fire, allowing you to go higher and higher. Spicy peppers and oil jars also do that, but spicy peppers have to catch fire first, making them a lot less effective at it compared to pinecones.
Nearly 300 hrs in, learned two things this episode: that those are baby frox, and the tree association thing. Interesting stuff. Also, just an observation, but I think korok fronds are underrated. I always keep one in my loadout. You can easily blow whole groups of enemies off cliffs or into water, especially when they’re frozen.
I've been keeping a Feathered Edge around. Serves the same purpose, plus I can imbue it with an ice fusion to make monsters slide way off into the distance with just a dash attack.
You can use your ele fruits in a Gleeok fight. But a no fuse 5 shot Lynel bow will do the trick, save your fruits and get those headshots to ground the Gleeok. The best time to remove a Talus elemental effect is right after you recall their ranged fist attack back at them. Wait until the fist hits them, or that impact will also reapply the element. Ideally you blast fire/water while the talus stumbles from the punch and make sure he doesn't fall on you 😂
8:22 About stronger fires 1-. Throwing oil does exactly the same 2-. The campfire survives the rain indefinitely but yhe fire on weapons only lats longer
- The flat sheets of ice made by throwing ice fruit in a body of water, when attached to a weapon makes a guster-type weapon like a korok frond or a sail; however it will _also_ produce the frost puff elemental effect like a sapphire weapon. This makes it much easier to freeze and slide around frozen enemies all-in-one. - I keep a dazzlefruit on a Forest Dweller weapon for traversing the depths, since one hit will instantly destroy any Stal enemies in a large area of effect, and then it comes right back. - Similarly, brightbloom seeds (and LARGE brightbloom seeds!) can be attached to any Forest Dweller's weapon (I recommend a spear) and thrown, which will plant the brightbloom as expected, but NOT use up the seed as with bomb flowers. An endless supply of large brightblooms on a long throw spear (which you can just Recall back to you after throwing) really does go a long way. - Puffshroom does not affect enemies which don't have eyes, such as Like-Likes and Evermeans.
I often stick a wood, a fire fruit, and a pinecone together to create a fire in the rain. It works as a campfire to pass time by as well so its easy to wait out the rain
If you splash a splash fruit or any water material on the ground if you are holding a Zora spear it has more attack power for around 20 seconds, and when it's raining it's permanent until the rain stops.
Feeding a Swift Carrot to your horse will also give it a slight speed boost for a short period of time if memory serves. Another great video! Keep up the great work!
The number of times I planted a bloom seed on my hoverbike only to loose it and find the front fan with the bloom attached to it on its own. The rest of the bike just despawned as normal
I think fire applies after a certain amount of time, and is bound to world time. So it's 0.1 - 9.9 seconds before the first check happens, then flagged as steaming, 10 seconds then flagged as dry, 10 seconds till the next check, which catches you on fire, for a total of 29.9 seconds max or 20.1 seconds min.
Neat fact about bees (summoned or otherwise) is that enemies will flee blindly from them if they're not in combat (including stal enemies for...some reason), and summoning them while wearing a mask that prevents them from aggroing you does not cause them to aggro you. So you can harass them to your heart's content.
fun fact about despawing distance, the items that stays spawn the longest are the dragon parts (scale, fang, horn, not sure about the rest) by a laaaarge margin. so attaching it to a vehicle makes it stay around for much longer
@@Gloomdrake yeah, it's because it's the one category of items that can spawn and immediately fly away from you really really fast, so it needs to stay loaded in for long distances, and since attached parts transfer that attribute to whatever other parts they are attached to, the whole build stays loaded in.
also, fun fact. someone might ask "what about star fragments?" thing is, star fragments don't actually spawn in until you come relatively close to their landing zones. so it's still not as good as dragon parts.
elemental attack with cooked fruit is really interesting. I've played this game way way too much and didn't realize that's how it worked. the same thing happens with elemental armor without the cooked fruit so it makes sense that the 2 abilities compound into something larger
but I actually kind of think both things are true - increase regular damage and give elemental effect. because notice the horns glow on armor when in a hot or cold area etc
throwing a giant brightbloom on to your Zonai device is vastly superior to using the Zonai headlamps. It doesn't affect the weight of the car, it doesn't count as an attachment, it glows in 360 degrees rather than a small ray, and it will still be bright even when you deactivate the car
I have, not so much science, but maybe a really weird tip. for anyone struggling with Talus enemies or battle fort Talus enemies, I just walk under them and ascend into their body now while they're attacking. You can get on top without breaking anything really fast. I like your videos, and the concept of Hyrule Science.
oh, re: the bit about clothes not increasing wetness duration: apparently the froggy set has a hidden property that makes dampness persist longer! each armor piece increases it a little more, iirc
While you were talking about splashfruit to stop yourself from burning: I recently went and hung out with Naydra without the fire protection suit... And apparently using the cooking pot achieves a similar effect. It interrupts the burning, so you've got some time until you start burning again. This helped me ride the dragon long enough to get the claw too. It's... Similar to the claymore rotation glitch from botw probably. Just... More costly. If there's any other zonai device that causes you to interact similarly/enter a cutscene there like the cooking pot, that'd be fun. But... Idk.
Here is something: Attaching beehives to magic rods changes the effects a bit. I know it prevents them from turning on you, but I do not know what else it does
2:49 Well, they DO also increase attack power in their respective weather, but not in the same way as attack up. Scorching & Biting do 15 extra damage per hit, and Stormy does 25 extra damage per hit.
Another thing with the elemental Talus I saw that you can "re-ignite" them by throwing their own element at them. That way you can douse them again for more staggers
I wish they made the quick select for throwing/fusing materials a big large menu with categories instead of scrolling simulator. Also both Sundelion and Sunny Pumpkin heal any hearts recovered if cooked with other foods which you would usually do anyway so technically the Sundelion is better since it's attainable early on
7:44 korok fronds actually have another really cool use. They alter the weapons physics and give it more drag. You can make some single-fan flying bikes with them. (I dont remember the channel but someone made the "frondster" bike and made a video)
If you are too close to a pine cone when it is activated in a fire, the pine cone can effect link in a similar way as a weapon where it is visually a lot bigger and stronger, as well as more damaging. I think this also works with oil.
Cool tips! Here's a few you were missing that might help you and others reading the comments 1. Did you know you can change what the food provides you by adding extra certain ingredients? For example; The Sunny Veggie Rice Balls only require Hylian Rice and Sundelion giving I believe four hearts and I think four recovery but if you were to add only one rice and two sundellions, it would give four hearts and six recovery. Three sundellion with one rice give 9 recovery but gives only two hearts. Then with four sundellion it recovers 12. This can be done with other types of recipes depending what you increase more of. The best I know is five Big Hearty Truffles for full recovery and 20 yellow hearts. 2. Dazzlefruit can not only kill the skeleton mobs instantly but it's also a great stun for those giant Flux in the depths. This can make fighting them a breeze by dazzling them, smash the stones on their backs, get tossed up in the air to dazzle it again with your arrow! 3. Using ores instead of elemental fruits with your arrows is better for more damage and a massive explosion that's much bigger than bomb flowers so do take caution and use those gems in a nice distance or you will one shot yourself even with max hearts. They can one shot most mobs but not silver so as expensive as they are they are, they are far better to use with arrows than fruit in most cases. They do the same when fusing to your shield for a much better defense. I recommend the Topaz to make the mobs drop their weapons for daring to strike you! Topaz=Lightning | Ruby=Fire | Saphire=Ice | Opal=Water
@@MiahTRT Np! I gotta correct myself though. I found out the gems won't one shot yourself if your gear is strong enough but it can take out a LOT of your own hearts if too close still!
Great video! thanks for adding me, also, don't worry the game doesn't give that much info with the elemental fruits. i once read somewhere that if you fuse an opal to a zora weapon it will get a damage bonus, as a sort of synergy. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Just since you explicitly mentioned it before - a korok weapon with a Muddle Bud on it is extremely powerful, the same way a Puffshroom or a Dazzlefruit is. I had The Demon King's Army fight itself by using a single Muddle Bud korok spear.
Silent Princess is 3 times as strong as nightshade; its just the way the teiring works doesnt show on just 1 herb - 2 princesses will give a power 2 dish and 3 princesses will give a power 3 dish; but even 5 nightshade won't give a power 2 dish.
idk if someone else has already said this but this is a "remnant" from botw if you have an element weapon and it runs out of charge, you can swap to a different weapon then back and it'll be charged again.. And yes, this does works with bees and from my knowledge it works with at least most element stuff, ice, fire, electric..but I did notice that say, a muddlebud on a forest dweller weapon doesn't work.. hope this helps, I couldn't help think about this when I heard it wasn't spamable in the video, but honestly even with this method it's more silly than anything unless it's like a red bokoblin, I also sometimes kept hitting a bee when I reset it cause I swapped too fast. lol. I wonder what someone will make of this.. (ps I'm sure this is already known but might as well add it, bees don't take durability, have fun, can't wait to see someone do a "bee's only challenge") {Edit: this is too much text for something like swinging bees, apologies.}
honey plus any other fruit (not apple) creates honeyed fruits - and oddly enough the image for the honeyed fruits meal uses fruits that are not even in the game like blueberries
Interesting tidbit with certain electrical enemies: i hit a large, electrically charged electric chu with a topaz rod, and it immediately exploded and died. A second later, i hit a small, uncharged electric chu with the same rod and only did about half damage. My hypothesis is that you can "overcharge" certain electric enemies using electric attacks. I have yet to test to see if this applies to other creatures like electric lizals/other means of generating electricity like shock fruit, however. It should be noted that I was wearing the charged shirt and trousers, as well as the lightning helm.
If you use a shock elemental attack while you are engulfed in the water sage skill, the enemy you hit will produce that shock aoe as if they themselves were wet.
So I commented this on the last video but then I saw this one so I’ll comment it again. I’m pretty sure if you first negate the element of a talus with its opposite element, I’m pretty sure you can recharge it using its same element. Not sure why you would but it’s kinda cool. This worked in Breath of the Wild so it may not work in Tears if the Kingdom.

I loved everything about this video; your delivery, interesting subject matter, organization/format, pacing, humour and editing were all spot on. It was just a chill, lowkey, informative show where I learned some and laughed some. Almost like... lo-fi TOTK gameplay to chill/vibe to.
The editing was non-intrusive - appreciated that it was used briefly to accentuate certain points rather than just *vine boom vine boom fart noise awwwwhhhhhggggg*. And specifically on the pacing part, I liked the way you did a quick rush of a bunch of ingredients before pausing to discuss one further, then another quick rush before slowing down again. Not sure if that was intentional but it was perfect in my opinion, it moved quickly without overwhelming me with info.
I also really enjoyed the comment thyme section, cool way to involve your audience and the way you did it made it seem like PART of the show, rather than the part I have to get through before the show starts. Good use of timestamps as well, I really like when I can get a peek at what's coming up or go back later to see different sections. Trying to think of some constructive criticism to use for your next video, but honestly I just liked it all.
Subscribing and keeping an eye out for more videos in the future, this is easily my favourite TOTK series yet. I hope your channel blows up homie, you deserve it!
i think firing multiple beehives out of a multishot bow does spawn multiple hordes of bees
It doesn't.
You can ignore mirror light puzzles by using a 5 shot bow fused with dazzlefruit on the light switches
Can you use bullet time and do it with a 1 shot bow?
@@riggidynail7228 not sure I’ve managed to do it with a 3 shot bow and bullet time though. I imagine if you do some explosive build shenanigans you could somehow detonate 5 dazzle fruits without a bow.
i wonder if i saved an autobuild of 5 dazzlefruits stuck to a bomb flower (maybe on a stake or something) if i could have an on-demand mirror puzzle buster 🤔🤔
The best way to keep a vehicle from despawning is to fuse a dragon part to it. It goes up to like 2,000 units (because they fall from the sky, so link can get to them).
8:29 fun fact! the stronger fire does double the damage when you stand in it (1 heart rather than 1/2) AND burns up wooden weapons twice as fast as regular fire!
Tip: A certain companion is suuuper helpful for getting into bullet time. I tee up with them while facing a Lynel and then jump off and enter bullet time when I have a clear view for a headshot. Then I hop on the Lynel's back and attack. Rinse and repeat.
Yeah science!
I hear that beehives work slightly differently when fused to rods. Haven't tested it myself, but I'd love to see your take.
caveat to the "clothes don't stay wet" claim: the full upgraded set of froggy armor gives you a hidden bonus that keeps you wet longer
Does it _have_ to be fully upgraded?
@@Gloomdrakeno, armor just needs to be upgraded to 2 stars to get the secret set bonus
I loved the technical analysis! It also goes to show how much thought went into the seemingly insignificant details in this amazing game :)
Wow, so you can really get Urbosa's Fury by just eating some fruit lmao
Pinecones not only make the fire stronger, but give you a draft you can paraglide up. This effect also gets stronger for additional pinecones hitting the same fire, allowing you to go higher and higher. Spicy peppers and oil jars also do that, but spicy peppers have to catch fire first, making them a lot less effective at it compared to pinecones.
I love how link seems to get more and more deep-fried in every outro I see
Sun pumpkins aren’t the only gloom + heart restoration meals. Combining most food with sundelions gives it an added healing effect as well
Brightbloom Seeds can also be planted by "throwing" them (act like you're gonna throw your weapon, but press Up on the d-Pad and select the item)
Nearly 300 hrs in, learned two things this episode: that those are baby frox, and the tree association thing. Interesting stuff. Also, just an observation, but I think korok fronds are underrated. I always keep one in my loadout. You can easily blow whole groups of enemies off cliffs or into water, especially when they’re frozen.
They have been op since botw, my main method of beating enemies in master mode while conserving weapons.
I use a fancier rito blade, does the same trick
I've been keeping a Feathered Edge around. Serves the same purpose, plus I can imbue it with an ice fusion to make monsters slide way off into the distance with just a dash attack.
5:16 dropping a Brightbloom seed from a greater height will plant the seed on impact. This is also the case if you drop the seed while paragliding
You can use your ele fruits in a Gleeok fight. But a no fuse 5 shot Lynel bow will do the trick, save your fruits and get those headshots to ground the Gleeok.
The best time to remove a Talus elemental effect is right after you recall their ranged fist attack back at them. Wait until the fist hits them, or that impact will also reapply the element. Ideally you blast fire/water while the talus stumbles from the punch and make sure he doesn't fall on you 😂
5:56 The stone Talus throwing a rock at you for some reason made me jump.
I have no idea why.
Great video regardless!
8:22
About stronger fires
1-. Throwing oil does exactly the same
2-. The campfire survives the rain indefinitely but yhe fire on weapons only lats longer
Good to know! I always assumed that oil was pretty much the same as pinecones
Curious how much longer it would last with a torch fused to a pinecone
Hi, good video on ToTK. There is a building use with korok leaves, allowing you to make more efficient flying machines.
- The flat sheets of ice made by throwing ice fruit in a body of water, when attached to a weapon makes a guster-type weapon like a korok frond or a sail; however it will _also_ produce the frost puff elemental effect like a sapphire weapon. This makes it much easier to freeze and slide around frozen enemies all-in-one.
- I keep a dazzlefruit on a Forest Dweller weapon for traversing the depths, since one hit will instantly destroy any Stal enemies in a large area of effect, and then it comes right back.
- Similarly, brightbloom seeds (and LARGE brightbloom seeds!) can be attached to any Forest Dweller's weapon (I recommend a spear) and thrown, which will plant the brightbloom as expected, but NOT use up the seed as with bomb flowers. An endless supply of large brightblooms on a long throw spear (which you can just Recall back to you after throwing) really does go a long way.
- Puffshroom does not affect enemies which don't have eyes, such as Like-Likes and Evermeans.
I often stick a wood, a fire fruit, and a pinecone together to create a fire in the rain. It works as a campfire to pass time by as well so its easy to wait out the rain
If you splash a splash fruit or any water material on the ground if you are holding a Zora spear it has more attack power for around 20 seconds, and when it's raining it's permanent until the rain stops.
You can also attach a dragon part to a zonal device and the despawn distance drastically increases to the thousands
Feeding a Swift Carrot to your horse will also give it a slight speed boost for a short period of time if memory serves.
Another great video! Keep up the great work!
Awesome video. Im glad i found this and now you have a new subscriber. Keep up the good work. I like how casual and chill you sound.
Extra thing I’ve been experimenting with - korok fronds can be used to alter the aerodynamics of flying zonai machines!
The only use I got out of pine cones is getting stronger updrafts to paraglide on, maybe it has some use in wet caves though
The number of times I planted a bloom seed on my hoverbike only to loose it and find the front fan with the bloom attached to it on its own. The rest of the bike just despawned as normal
multiple brightblooms in the exact same location seems to multiply brightness and possibly range as well
I think fire applies after a certain amount of time, and is bound to world time. So it's 0.1 - 9.9 seconds before the first check happens, then flagged as steaming, 10 seconds then flagged as dry, 10 seconds till the next check, which catches you on fire, for a total of 29.9 seconds max or 20.1 seconds min.
Neat fact about bees (summoned or otherwise) is that enemies will flee blindly from them if they're not in combat (including stal enemies for...some reason), and summoning them while wearing a mask that prevents them from aggroing you does not cause them to aggro you. So you can harass them to your heart's content.
fun fact about despawing distance, the items that stays spawn the longest are the dragon parts (scale, fang, horn, not sure about the rest) by a laaaarge margin. so attaching it to a vehicle makes it stay around for much longer
this works for an autobuilt dragon part as well, since autobuild replicates the unique properties of each piece :)
Is it known why?
@@Gloomdrake yeah, it's because it's the one category of items that can spawn and immediately fly away from you really really fast, so it needs to stay loaded in for long distances, and since attached parts transfer that attribute to whatever other parts they are attached to, the whole build stays loaded in.
also, fun fact. someone might ask "what about star fragments?" thing is, star fragments don't actually spawn in until you come relatively close to their landing zones. so it's still not as good as dragon parts.
You should know that attaching any dragonscale greatly increase the radius where your devices despawn :)
Yes! I’ve known for a good while, I’m excited for when I eventually do the dragon parts because of this
I like adding them as a skid plate on the hover bike under the control stick. Functional and fashionable.
7:29 i figured this out on my own and felt so damn smart. I was like "bees... Smoke... Ooh i know"
elemental attack with cooked fruit is really interesting. I've played this game way way too much and didn't realize that's how it worked. the same thing happens with elemental armor without the cooked fruit so it makes sense that the 2 abilities compound into something larger
but I actually kind of think both things are true - increase regular damage and give elemental effect. because notice the horns glow on armor when in a hot or cold area etc
throwing a giant brightbloom on to your Zonai device is vastly superior to using the Zonai headlamps. It doesn't affect the weight of the car, it doesn't count as an attachment, it glows in 360 degrees rather than a small ray, and it will still be bright even when you deactivate the car
Hylian pine cone even lets you start a fire with flint and wood in the open rain.
I have, not so much science, but maybe a really weird tip. for anyone struggling with Talus enemies or battle fort Talus enemies, I just walk under them and ascend into their body now while they're attacking. You can get on top without breaking anything really fast.
I like your videos, and the concept of Hyrule Science.
The best ways are to ascend through them, shoot their ore weakpoint, or recall their thrown arms.
Swift carrots boost horse speed for a short time. Even one of the NPCs said so.
yup, and you can also feed apples to your horse for a small boost to your bond
oh, re: the bit about clothes not increasing wetness duration: apparently the froggy set has a hidden property that makes dampness persist longer! each armor piece increases it a little more, iirc
While you were talking about splashfruit to stop yourself from burning:
I recently went and hung out with Naydra without the fire protection suit...
And apparently using the cooking pot achieves a similar effect.
It interrupts the burning, so you've got some time until you start burning again.
This helped me ride the dragon long enough to get the claw too.
It's... Similar to the claymore rotation glitch from botw probably. Just... More costly. If there's any other zonai device that causes you to interact similarly/enter a cutscene there like the cooking pot, that'd be fun. But... Idk.
Here is something: Attaching beehives to magic rods changes the effects a bit. I know it prevents them from turning on you, but I do not know what else it does
2:49 Well, they DO also increase attack power in their respective weather, but not in the same way as attack up. Scorching & Biting do 15 extra damage per hit, and Stormy does 25 extra damage per hit.
Another thing with the elemental Talus I saw that you can "re-ignite" them by throwing their own element at them. That way you can douse them again for more staggers
If you recall their thrown fists into them they'll reignite
I discovered the associated tree for depths vegetation thing as well. haven't seen anyone else talk about that yet. Nice detail
I love some of the videos that say gleeoks or lynels are easy and are decked out with OP weapons and armor buffs you rarely get early game.
I wish they made the quick select for throwing/fusing materials a big large menu with categories instead of scrolling simulator.
Also both Sundelion and Sunny Pumpkin heal any hearts recovered if cooked with other foods which you would usually do anyway so technically the Sundelion is better since it's attainable early on
7:44 korok fronds actually have another really cool use. They alter the weapons physics and give it more drag. You can make some single-fan flying bikes with them.
(I dont remember the channel but someone made the "frondster" bike and made a video)
the elemental fruit giving you special attacks is very useful, ive never actually cooked anything using elemental fruit but im gonna start doing so!
If you are too close to a pine cone when it is activated in a fire, the pine cone can effect link in a similar way as a weapon where it is visually a lot bigger and stronger, as well as more damaging. I think this also works with oil.
That’s pretty sick! Never even thought of trying that!
@@MiahTRT I found that out while torturing a korok in a hot air balloon fire. I thought a pine cone would add to it and then I also went up in flames.
1:38 bro sniped kakuda with electric explosion, I have never seen that!🥵
Cool tips! Here's a few you were missing that might help you and others reading the comments
1. Did you know you can change what the food provides you by adding extra certain ingredients? For example; The Sunny Veggie Rice Balls only require Hylian Rice and Sundelion giving I believe four hearts and I think four recovery but if you were to add only one rice and two sundellions, it would give four hearts and six recovery. Three sundellion with one rice give 9 recovery but gives only two hearts. Then with four sundellion it recovers 12. This can be done with other types of recipes depending what you increase more of. The best I know is five Big Hearty Truffles for full recovery and 20 yellow hearts.
2. Dazzlefruit can not only kill the skeleton mobs instantly but it's also a great stun for those giant Flux in the depths. This can make fighting them a breeze by dazzling them, smash the stones on their backs, get tossed up in the air to dazzle it again with your arrow!
3. Using ores instead of elemental fruits with your arrows is better for more damage and a massive explosion that's much bigger than bomb flowers so do take caution and use those gems in a nice distance or you will one shot yourself even with max hearts. They can one shot most mobs but not silver so as expensive as they are they are, they are far better to use with arrows than fruit in most cases. They do the same when fusing to your shield for a much better defense. I recommend the Topaz to make the mobs drop their weapons for daring to strike you!
Topaz=Lightning | Ruby=Fire | Saphire=Ice | Opal=Water
Thank you for the info! I greatly appreciate it and I’ll be sure to talk about it next time :)
@@MiahTRT Np! I gotta correct myself though. I found out the gems won't one shot yourself if your gear is strong enough but it can take out a LOT of your own hearts if too close still!
using big hearty radishes usually gives you 25 temporary hearts, but what about cooking 5 big hearty radishes on a blood moon?
I think the Muddlebuds works on the SMALLER yiga clan members. I havent encountered the large boys while using them.
Nice fit for link, i use his guard trousers too and dyed them black as well, and instead of black i wear navy blue hylian hoodie
This is the first video im seeing from you, but I really enjoyed it! Gave me a little bit of Klerik vibes, keep up the great work 👍👍
Kleric is a huge inspiration to me for doing these videos, thank you for watching
Attaching a Dragon Part to a build significantly increases the deswapn radius. Up to 2000 meters.
7:17 apparently you can spawn multiple swarms if you switch weapon and switch again to the first one
ur voice is so soft and calming to listen to
Smoke from fires just like puffshrooms will chill out bees for easy hive collection!
Great video! thanks for adding me, also, don't worry the game doesn't give that much info with the elemental fruits.
i once read somewhere that if you fuse an opal to a zora weapon it will get a damage bonus, as a sort of synergy.
Looking forward to more of your videos!
How does the elemental fruit thing work? Do I fuse it to my weapon? Eat it? Cook it? I'm lost 😅
@@NoodleBear Most of the time, I throw them or fuse them to arrows, cooking them gives you a strength boost in their respective weather
Even just dropping brightblooms from a high enough spot plants one
Autobuild doesn't aggro bees
I used hylian pine cones when fighting flux constructs II and III, so i could get up to them during their flying phase.
You can also recall the blocks they send down at you, and ride them up there.
Just since you explicitly mentioned it before - a korok weapon with a Muddle Bud on it is extremely powerful, the same way a Puffshroom or a Dazzlefruit is. I had The Demon King's Army fight itself by using a single Muddle Bud korok spear.
you can fuse rockets to arrows instead of Keese wings for more distance and a minor explosion
Rocket arrows don't drop at all until they despawn
Silent Princess is 3 times as strong as nightshade; its just the way the teiring works doesnt show on just 1 herb - 2 princesses will give a power 2 dish and 3 princesses will give a power 3 dish; but even 5 nightshade won't give a power 2 dish.
idk if someone else has already said this but this is a "remnant" from botw
if you have an element weapon and it runs out of charge, you can swap to a different weapon then back and it'll be charged again.. And yes, this does works with bees
and from my knowledge it works with at least most element stuff, ice, fire, electric..but I did notice that say, a muddlebud on a forest dweller weapon doesn't work.. hope this helps, I couldn't help think about this when I heard it wasn't spamable in the video, but honestly even with this method it's more silly than anything unless it's like a red bokoblin, I also sometimes kept hitting a bee when I reset it cause I swapped too fast. lol.
I wonder what someone will make of this..
(ps I'm sure this is already known but might as well add it, bees don't take durability, have fun, can't wait to see someone do a "bee's only challenge")
{Edit: this is too much text for something like swinging bees, apologies.}
honey plus any other fruit (not apple) creates honeyed fruits - and oddly enough the image for the honeyed fruits meal uses fruits that are not even in the game like blueberries
shout out to science
Yeah, science!
Interesting tidbit with certain electrical enemies: i hit a large, electrically charged electric chu with a topaz rod, and it immediately exploded and died. A second later, i hit a small, uncharged electric chu with the same rod and only did about half damage. My hypothesis is that you can "overcharge" certain electric enemies using electric attacks. I have yet to test to see if this applies to other creatures like electric lizals/other means of generating electricity like shock fruit, however.
It should be noted that I was wearing the charged shirt and trousers, as well as the lightning helm.
Wait never mind, I forgot charged Chus of any element just explode on being hit as is
sundelion and silent princesses are just inverted colors of eachother
You can use Hylian pine cones as a weapon to by shooting them into campfires that monsters are sitting around
If you use a shock elemental attack while you are engulfed in the water sage skill, the enemy you hit will produce that shock aoe as if they themselves were wet.
It's because you will shoot the water projectile which does get them wet
Regular Frox can also eat Brightblooms, if you shoot an arrow with one and then hide the Frox will eat the Bloom
So I commented this on the last video but then I saw this one so I’ll comment it again. I’m pretty sure if you first negate the element of a talus with its opposite element, I’m pretty sure you can recharge it using its same element. Not sure why you would but it’s kinda cool. This worked in Breath of the Wild so it may not work in Tears if the Kingdom.
This is my first video of yours, and I'm already a huge fan, just because of comment thyme.
In the time it took to watch this, I ate an entire burrito that I made, _and_ only dripped a bit on one hand and a bit on my plate. Burrito: success! (I blame you c: )
