This one was slightly painful for me because when I was fighting baddies going up the mountain I flurry rushed into accidentally falling off the platform and onto this lower part of the mountain. It was hard to get back up. I missed Ravioli’s Gale then.
I love that Yunobo jumps in to death mountain first this time without hesitation. He was so timid and anxious in BotW but I think seeing Link jump straight in to take care of Vah Rudania gave him courage to do the same this time around. 13:37
The magic rod enhances the damage of gem magic, and also makes them more potent in effect. They function like the meteor, thunderstorm, and blizzard rods from BotW.
3:25 all the magic rod is is that when you attach a gem to it. Three elemental orbs come out instead of 1. Also fun fact, you can attach star fragments to magic rods to create light orbs.
This is how I finally got to the Depths, I thought the holes would lead me to die so I kept away from them. When I got to the Fire Temple I thought I had found a secret construction underground. I took me a while to realize there was an entire map below😅😅😅
Similar story here, my first experience of the depths via the Hyrule Field Chasm made me reluctant to explore the depths. The short time I spent in the depths below Death Mountain literally had my hands shaking the whole time cos i didnt know what was down there. That first time down the Death Mountain Chasm is partly what forced me to continue the storyline. I now often traverse the depths for poes, lightroots, zonaite and the previously amiibo exclusive armour sets
This is epic entertainment! I had all this lit up already so the oohs and ahhhs were lacking. I had fun though I loved the fire temple once I figured out how to navigate it! The boss was awesome!
Mr a game I’ve completed the game and it is incredible keep up the amazing work good luck on the end game hope you have fun try your best to make it to 1M A-game
The magic rod harnesses gems' (ruby, topaz, sapphire) powers, also opals do water, but honeycomb (shoots bees) and star fragments (shoots more light than normal, good for the depths) are good too!
3:02 If you attach a sapphire to the rod it's really overpowered for taking out monster camps, then you can use shock on them afterwards for even more damage to the ones not frozen.
a topaz scepter is very useful against enemies when they are grouped together for example like a bokoblin horde, since the topaz SCEPTER (not the rod the 2 handed rod) can release 3 thunder orbs if you use it in the rains especially it can devestate the enemy army and you can finish them off in one fell swoop edit: i forgot to mention they can be blocked by shields so if you find an opening they can annihalate the enemy forces
wow the wheeled wonders shrine I did it so wrong, for the second bridge part I just used the thing to go the other way and for the balls I attached some of them by group and put them in the target thingy
4:14, in that shrine I just put the bridge on the other side with ultra hand and took the cart over to the next part. Never new that’s how you were supposed to do it 😂😅
I appreciate how in botw Yunobo is too scared to jump in after you and in this game he jumps in first. I rarely use magic rods. The only ones I ever bother to get are those already with gems which I breakdown in Tarry Town for the gems. They make a great means of farming gems and getting money early on in the game if you aren't hunting and selling prime meats. The one time I would consider using a magic rod is with an opal against Mucktorok. It shoots in three directions rather than one (like the hydrant) making it the next best option to Sidon's water attack. Also, attaching a star to the end shoots out lights, which can be helpful in the depths, though they don't stay.
Magic rods fused to a sapphire is one of the most op weapons in the game. If you go to throw the weapon it has a massive aoe of ice which freezes every enemy in that area and when you hit a frozen enemy it does x2 damage. You can just freeze them then hit them then freeze them again in a loop
at first i was playing constently but now i play every once in awhile and you all ways are above me in the legend of zelda series even if i start first 🤣
attaching gems to the magic rod makes the effect stronger then on other weapons basically BOTW's element staffs teir 2, for example Fire rod effect on normal weapons, meteor rod on magic rod weapons
No, you're not missing anything, but you underestimate how good the rods can be. Sapphire rods are the blizzard rod of this game, and opal rods are incredibly potent too. There're also magic scepters and staffs that're the two-handed and spear versions. I personally always keep a sapphire rod, topaz staff (long-range shock stick is nice for disarming and stunning enemies), and ruby scepter on me at all times, and if I'm going through either the fire or water temples, I'll bring a couple of opal rods and/or opal scepters. I generally end up replacing the ruby and topaz ones with gleeok horn pristine royal claymores, but that's a lategame option if you don't cheese the ghost statue loot tables by never using soldier and knight weapons EVER.
The rod ends with a gym instead of threw out one ball. If you have the rod, it will shoot out three and if you fuse a star piece to it, it will have balls of light.
The magic rod triple the effect of the gems if you had a ruby or topaz on a sword it would shoot an electric or fire ball if you use a magic rod it shoots three insted of on
