Have a great day, and as always, thanks for watching!

More Zonai-focused content is on the way! Thanks for watching!

This video has no cruft, stalling, obnoxious sponsorships, or dead air. Excellent production and utlilty, a rare thing to see nowadays from games guides.

One thing that players might not notice is that Lightroots always seem to be beneath surface shrines, so if you toggle between the surface and underground maps you can use the lightroot/shrine locations to locate shrines/lightroots respectively

Shoutout to everyone else like me who was trying to explore the depths on foot before this video 🤪 thank you dude lol

Advice for facing the Lynels:

1) Get a Royal Guard Claymore. There's one at Hyrule Castle Sanctum (where you fought Ganon in BotW).
2) Find a Rock Octorok (Eldin area). Save and drop the RG Claymore in front of it. He'll suck it in and give it a bonus (you'll see "sparkles" while he's "chewing" on it). If it's a good one, kill the Octorok and find another one. If it's a bad bonus, reload the save and try again.
3) Repeat above with another Rock Octorok. You will likely get an even better bonus. If not, reload and try again. Make sure to kill the Octoroks when done so they'll respawn at the next Blood Moon and you can use them again, since you won't be able to use that same Octorok again unless you do so.
4) You should have a nice level of Attack Up and Durability Up by now. If not, try again with the Octoroks. You may need to wait for a Blood Moon.
4) Smack the RG Claymore into trees, the ground, etc., until it's almost broken. Its attack power will go up dramatically.
5) Fuse the nastiest damage dealing material you have to it. You should be well above 100 in Attack Power by now, possibly close to 200.
6) Fight the Lynels. Stun with a bow (hit the face) then run up and jump on its back. Wale away with the RG Claymore until it knocks you off (shoot it in the back of the head during bullet time if you can). Repeat until dead and move onto the next one.
7) Don't ever use the Claymore for normal attacks, because it will eventually break. Save it specifically for doing damage to the Lynels while on their backs, since that does not affect its durability. You'll be able to use the massive damage you've given it indefinitely.

I managed to tumble into the depths on a wing with 4 fans stacked on the bottom. It was not a stable ride, and I had to climb the wing when it swung vertical, but to make a long story short I ended up with 200 zonaite before I had the paraglider. I love this game.

[FerisSalvo]

This. This is what a guide should be. Quick and to the point while still making room for detailed explanations alongside a visual aide, spoiler protection for anything past the first few hours of gameplay, and recommendations for future learning. I'm truly amazed I've never come across your channel before, and I shall be waiting eagerly for more guides on whatever you choose to cover! :)

[BenjaminSteber]

You forgot one thing. Don’t just sell the Lynel parts. Use cooking pots to mix them into elixirs at a rate of four monster parts to one insect/lizard/frog which significantly increases their value.

[ThrowingCrunchy]

Tip for Frox: After mounting their back to attack their zonaite deposits, they'll shortly begin to tremble before shrugging you off (much like Stone Talus do). HOWEVER, if you make sure to stand still on their tail when they try to shrug you off, you'll be launched way into the air. Bullet-time snipe the weak point, repeat.

[KarlRock]

Thanks! The game didn’t explain all this to me, or maybe I skipped past it. I’m over halfway through the game and still only one battery. Time to change that 😄

[ajmanning]

Bro this video is… Impressive. By all content creation, informational video, entertainment, and how-to guide standards I can think of you have absolutely nailed it. The video has zero fluff and your delivery is practiced, neutral, and doesn’t have obnoxious patterns. The pace of information is rapid so that you can learn what you need and move on, but you say it slow enough and when showing you carefully, deliberately display what you are talking about for long enough to clearly show what you mean without cutting away too quickly. The bgm is perfect, you consider and briefly mention small things the viewer may want to consider without spending minutes at a time on them… I am really impressed. If you other videos are like this one then I’d say you’ve earned my subscription.

I absolutely love how he actually guides us and not rushes and he helps us

[CalderonJC]

You have one of the most consistent, most complete and clearer explanations that I have seen with tutorials for Zelda TOTK, not to mention amazing voice over, greatly produced. Congrats and thank you so much!

[Lots-Of-People-are-Saying]

The giant seed actually screws with the weight. If you place it on the bottom of the stick it actually balances the weight equally.

[wendylott]

Thank you!! A spoiler free, no fluff, no filler, straight to the point guide! And you included time stamps too! YouTube recommended your channel And I subscribed after this video!

[ginganinja_]

I love that when u were talking about the abandoned mine you said, “After a boss fight” instead of saying exactly what the boss is, great for avoiding spoilers so thank you!!

[cyprusmiraque]

Hey just so you know, during the Frox's inhale attack you can drop, shoot, or toss a bomb or timer bomb into their mouth which will cause them to explode

[BeopBloxYT]

The horn that plays when you get to the bottom of the chasam always gives me goosebumps

[playwars]

4:45 It is also worth mentionning that brightblooms also increase the distance at which vehicles despawn, as long as they are attached to them, thus giving it double the utility.

This video contains a ton of extra information that is so useful for achieving a path to what is essentially endgame. Simply farming the lynel coliseum and then using that as a jumping off point for everything else is incredibly powerful and skyrockets you to having way more rupees, a much stronger weapon / bow stash, and more batteries.
