I sacrifice a weapon if the situation calls for it (Stronger boss, a weapon equivalent to its power is nearby), but certain special weapons I make I keep. I still have a flame rod from a real-world month ago. Yes I know the octorok can't repair wands.
Weapon Degradation is a fun mechanic because all you have to do is pick up a new weapon from the enemy you just killed.
Fusion + degradation is bad because every time your weapon breaks you have to pick up a new one, open the material menu, drop a material that's strong (and preferably won't look moronic), and then fuse it.
It would be one thing if you could do multiple weapons at a time from the start menu, but the system in ToTK is tedious.
>all you have to do is pick up a new weapon from the enemy you just killed.
After a few hours you'll have weapons better than anything that the common enemies drop, making most combat detrimental.
degradation is a good mechanic
It's shit. >>but I'm so thankful there are more ways to bypass it in TOTK
Like what? Teleporting and running to a rock octorock isn't really different than teleporting and running to pick up the same weapon again, both are slow time wasting tedium. >>and the game gives you so many weapons you will never run out so weapons breaking doesn't matter in the long run
So what's good about the mechanic, dipshit? If the point is to add real resource management, it failed at that (as the shills admit by repeating that it's "not an issue", "weapons breaking doesn't matter" and you "always easily have weapons"). If the point is to "force the player to use different weapons" or be "creative", it fails at that as you can easily get the same weapons back as they respawn aall the time (ignoring that they're all the same 3 weapons copypasted), and you don't require durability for that anyway (as the plenty of games and prior Zelda games without durability show). All it accomplishes is forceing them to pause the game constantly to equip the same weapon or the same weapon with a different number hundreds of times, it's not adding any difficulty or decisionmaking.
Fuse has also removed any uniqueness with the elemental weapons because you have a bunch of materials that you can slap onto anything you want. All weapons behave the same outside of damage modifiers.
This pissed me off more than anything and the elemental materials only become utility items before long. You only need to use a strong bow and a chu jelly to do real elemental damage, your weapons should be using silver enemy materials minimum.
They made an amazing weapon system for the first 10 hours of the game. No one who reviewed the game got close to the endgame.

I just don't get their decision making process.
Fusing them to a weapon they can repair works then you have the little goron pop it off.
Where can I get hints regarding upgrading my battery and the spirit temple? I found the construct factory in the depths but I don't know how to start the quest.
Check the giant stone right outside of Lookout Landing bro. Follow some quests from Josha, the depths expert, to deal with the factories. Do the other temples.

>dude just waste even more time doing a bunch of steps to repair champion weapons
At that point it's even slower than just breaking the weapon and running back to the npc to get it again.

The real hero of totk is the duplication glitch. Boy, i absolutely love having 8 scimitars of the 7 each with a silver lynel horn and 3 lightscale lances each with a colgera fang.
>3 lightscale lances each with a colgera fang
Why not just add a silver lynel blade horn to those, too? It's longer than the colgera fang and does like twice as much damage.

>spirit temple?
Normally you would first need to complete the four main dungeons and hyrule castle. Then you would need to go Kakariko and do the ruins quest, that will clear the storm clouds on the sky.
Then you need to complete the thunder isles and at the end, you'll find the head of the golem that will guide you to the entrance and then you'll be able to start the temple.
You can ignore the first half of what i said and go straight to the thunder isle and bump your way through the clouds to the end.
In the sky there is a large mass of stormy clouds you can see in the map, the mask that opens the way to the construct factory is in there, you can follow a quest in Kakariko to clear the storm, I personally just fumbled my way around the storm until reaching the place where the mask is, try it, it's challenging but fun
No, who would suggest that?
If you want to just do the story that is all straight forward, just do the main quests from the important npcs that boss you around.
If you like the type of side content and want to do it a guide would make it extra boring. But then if you want to skip it with a guide why not just skip it entirely?

no idea then sorry
I remember a lot of people being unsure with what triggered some josha and robbie stuff so maybe theres a wait time or other progress flag
I used one cheat for infinite durability and I had more fun than you. I could be far more creative with fusions. The game scales enemy difficulty for you anyways so I actually never felt overpowered.
I like it because it's not really repairing your equipment, it's rerolling it. Every time you feed the rok it spits out a new item. The item could have the same buffs, or through a very small chance, gets spit out with a different set of buffs on it.
i defend durability and enjoy using the octorok, my only problem with is that you only get like ten, maybe fifteen shots per blood moon to reroll weapons, not counting repairs
I think it's shit as well but you get so many fricking weapons that I never notice it. Personally I think the bigger problem are the RNG ghosts in the depths. Absolute horseshit mechanic.
it made chewing sounds and motions didnt it? i got the impression it was going for a chewing-hammering a dinged and bent weapon into shape again and sharpening it. might be why it cant do bows or wands (without the unintended workaround)
I fricking love having MSGNotFound. I only made three dupes of it before I accidentally patched my game. (User error, I'm aware).
Still, this give me three diffrent unbreakable, fusable swords with a base damage of 30, that also has it's 'full heart laser beams' ability.
I mostly run one with each element of gleeok, but I tend to unfuse the lightning one and just have it being lynel silverhorn instead.
Just as in BotW, I absolutely feel that the motherfricking master sword out of all things, should not break. And this feeling become even stronger when you actually have a unbreakable MS yourself.
Come the frick on Nintendo
Someday I want to create weapons like how you cook food. You throw materials into a crucible and watch them melt into the cast. You can also use broken weapons as materials to make stronger weapons.
I thought initially if you broke your weapon, you'd get materials to craft your own weapon given all the enemy horns were suspiciously shaped like spearheads and cudgels.
I'd like the ability to pick up broken weapons as materials. Broken sticks can be combined into firewood. You can transfer buffs of broken weapons into new weapons. A broken Traveler's Sword can be forged into a White Traveler's Sword with white dye materials, charcoal, and Eldin iron. Sadly the color doesn't enhance attack or durability. It just looks cool.

What about chrono trigger new vegas undertale kirby?
No, if you want to see the REAL hero of TotK all you have to do is look in a mirror.
I'm so hungry, I could eat an octorok!
what would an octorok taste like? Octopus can be tough if you don't cook it right, so an octorok would be tougher. Gorons may like it though.
They say it's acidic, but I bet a future game will make an edible octorok.

Fuse it to a shield and you can repair it that way

The sooner Nintendo realizes how fricking moronic weapon durability is and trashes it the sooner we'll have good Zelda games again.

Next game. Baby steps. They know durability is a touchy subject.

I've tried to repair Champion weapons, and it never worked for me, even when fused. Am I doing something wrong?
Needs to be the "material" not the base weapon of the fuse combination
maybe nintendo patched that too by now
you can just go buy them back from bargainer statues for like 100 poes

how do i make robbie go back to hateno again? i thought it was just from getting autobuild or do you need to go to the lab first?

Wow, who knew these wiener sucking brand loyalists were hypocrites the entire time
From what I see, the people defending durability hate that people are using the octorok, calling it tedious.
I like it because it's not really repairing your equipment, it's rerolling it. Every time you feed the rok it spits out a new item. The item could have the same buffs, or through a very small chance, gets spit out with a different set of buffs on it.
I noticed that too and I don't mind it, but I don't have a use for long throw unless it's a boomerang so I just bear it if it comes to that.

Nintendo fricked up.
how does a octorock repair weapons anyways? is it just like smelting stuff when it charges an attack?
It shoots explosive rocks so maybe it tempers it in its warm body.
it made chewing sounds and motions didnt it? i got the impression it was going for a chewing-hammering a dinged and bent weapon into shape again and sharpening it. might be why it cant do bows or wands (without the unintended workaround)
