Dude I love the depths so much. Based on the trailers I really thought that the Sky was gonna be the biggest addition, and I do love the sky. But the Depths just mirror the surface in an insane amount of cool ways; Zonaite canyon mines under every named mountain, lightroots under shrines, water on the surface being impassable, abandoned mines being under cities, lava falls being under hot springs… and et cetera lol there’s really just countless ways. I am so impressed with the detail they put into the depths seriously it’s unreal

I like the idea that a dead soldier's spirit has waited all this time to present you a preserved weapon, just for you to take it and yeet it in front of them

It took me watching Austin's video on Lynel hunting to gather the courage to take the shiny weapons offered to me by the *ghastly warriors in the pitch-black depths as I was certain this was a trap.*

[funnywall]

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE ROYAL GUARD SWORD:
There is a grove to the northwest of Kakiriko village with many bosses in it that consistently gives Royal guard swords from the soldiers there, so far I’ve gotten at least 6 Royal guard swords and even more then 1 per reset just from that grove, if you have trouble finding it look at Austin’s map for a large area with a small southern entrance to the right of Hyrule castle.
Good luck!

I got a few prestine royal claymore with the silver lynel antler and it lasts soooo long. Crazy the difference between a pristine and regulars durability

For people who don’t know, when using the hero’s path if you press y to hide the icons, and then press y again it will only show the paths of the level that you are on. So if you are looking at the depths to see where you’ve been and you don’t want to see the paths you’ve taken in the sky or above ground you can do this to make it easier to tell which paths are from what level

Sorry if he already mentioned this but I just learned about the awesome ability the Forest Dweller Weapon line has. Any “bursting” fused items can be reused as if they were the elemental stones when attached. It’s like infinite dazzlefruits or puffshrooms! The pristine and buffed versions are excellent when tackling large groups.

[Zazafrrrr]

bro, i would probably be on the great sky island without austin

[defdefy]

I know you said you don't like using the rito weapons but have you tried the single hand sword with the wind effect fused with any of the element fused mats because when they blow enemies away they also spray fire, electricity, ice ect ect. and if you don't actually make contact with the blade they last forever and are just super cool utility.

[b-trav]

Rito spear with any ice horn fused to it is so good for pushing mobs off cliffs

[nightmarishtaco]

Soldier: I apologize for coming to you in this ghastly form… please know I mean you no harm, in fact i offer my sword. It was given to me by my father and it was given to him by his father. It would be a great honor if this helps you take down the Demo-

Link: ew *throws it*

Soldier: :(

You can force a blood moon by over loading the game. Use muti shot bow with lighting affect in bullet time. Blood moon is how the game clears the cache

[OurHeroXero]

I will always be astounded by the quality/number of videos you're able to produce, in a short amount of time, AND the amount of progress you make.

[Basewarmaster]

According to datamining there are only three regions that royal guard versions of weapons can spawn. The biggest is the one Austin went to in this video. There are four where royal versions can spawn.

[skinsthewin]

I really wish they had expanded the types of icons we can put down. They improved it EVER so slightly & that honestly wasn't enough. I was constantly wishing we had icons for the 3 different weapon types including a Bow & Shield Icon, & am kind of surprised they didn't give that to us. There are several little things like this that I feel they could still improve upon in this game.

[MyOtakuCorner]

You know... I like that you're not like other youtubers. You test things before posting about them and you go the extra mile by answering all the possible questions we may have. I wanted to know where to find pristine yiga and royal weapons and you covered every type of weapon so thanks

[deidradupuis]

The depths scared me so much that I avoided all those weapons terrified that it was a trap.

“There’s no Goron spear“ sad drillshaft noises

[PhillyBeatzU]

We all eating with these Pristine Weapons

[themissionslayer]

My favorite area of the entire game. Rip to the soldiers who’s souls have been waiting, for Hylia knows how long, for Link to grab these weapons so they can rest.
