I had a question for the "your stats questions" series, what are the criteria for a boss bar to appear at the top of the screen? Like with Hinoxes and the six versions of Ganon (including the four blights, Calamity and Dark Beast), for example. I ask because during a stream on Twitch - won't say the name - did a crowd control stream and one of the actions caused Thunderblight to appear and despawn, but the boss bar was still on screen.
I remember getting 2 giant ancient cores and 2 ancient cores from a single guardian. Now I know that that had a 0.000000016% chance of happening if I did the math right.
As someone who has obtained all the amiibo armors, farming Star fragments to upgrade them all to the max is extremely tedious. Thanks for this vid and for the info on the best way to get them the fastest. I wish there was a special vendor who would appear if you've played over 500 hours and just sell Star fragments, Giant ancient cores, Diamonds, etc. That would be a nice reward for those who've spent a ton of time in this game.
I'm happy to have helped you out then!! Having a star fragment seller would be interesting considering there are a lot of great uses for them, but I'm sure they didn't add one because they wanted them to be super rare - and having a shop would undermine that a bit
@@weebsquit347 the problem with all of the shops late game is they have finite supplies each blood moon, and as such its not a viable solution to get large amounts of rare stuff you need even if you have near limitless rupees
Busts my myth that the loot enemies drop is based on how Link performed in defeating them. Also busts my myth that the tougher an enemy was the better loot they dropped. Thanks for the enlightenment!
I have a question about arrows getting stuck in wooden shields. Does collecting the arrows with the shield reduce the chances of the enemy dropping a stack of arrows?
Well this explains the Eldin Ostritch dropping two Raw Whole Birds: ----- Animal_BirdFire ----- Normal - x1-2 80.0% - Raw Bird Thigh 20.0% - Raw Whole Bird
One time I hunted and killed a bird in Death Volcano and it dropped both a Raw Bird Thigh and a Raw Whole Bird. My father was watching and he wondered how it did that. He thought the Eldin Ostrich that I killed had 3 legs.
Hey Croton! I've had this thought that the Guardians are basically this games version of Beamos. I've had this thought for a while, and when you mentioned the unused Beamos loot table, I decided to tell you about it. I guess the Guardian Scouts would be Armos, if my theory is correct.
Once I found out Botw 2 was coming out. Then I started yelling about how the new clothes would be so aesthetic instead of talking about the important stuff
I have a question: In my experience with the game, I had come to the conclusion that defeating an archer enemy without getting hit by their attacks would always reward you with an arrow bundle drop, especially for foes with elemental arrows. Is there any data taking this factor into account, or is this just a misconception based on player experience?
Here’s what I’m thinking: the archer mobs drop arrows when they die because they haven’t used it yet, and I’m thinking they have around 5-13 (just rough estimation). Anyways, so if they don’t shoot at all before you kill them you should get around my rough estimation. I’m not sure about how many arrows they normally have but I never fight so I wouldn’t know but my dad sometimes plays on my account and yeah the quicker he kills the archer mobs the more arrows he gets. I don’t have exact information but those are my results. I think we might be onto something, fellow theorist!
Sorry I'm french Pour farmer les flèches je laisse les bokoblins me tirer dessus 5 flèche que j'esquive, elles sont récupérables aux sol puis je les tue ce qui me fait 5 autre flèches. Les flèche de bokoblins aux sol sont limités à 5 après elle sont tiré mais n'apparaissent. C'est ce que j'ai trouvé avec mon expérience de joueur
This is a misconception. Enemies have infinite arrows, same with weapons. They don't worry about durability. You can test both of these out by simply letting yourself get shot by an archer enemy. As you can see, no matter how many times they fire, their quiver never runs out, and their bow never breaks. Give an enemy a weapon you have that's near its breaking point and they'll start swinging it and never break it! You can pick it back up after and find it's at the exact same durability as when you last used it. What you see is purely nocebo from selective memory bias (forgot the proper term for the psychological phenomenon, whoops) Just as was explained in the video, enemies that can drop arrows will always drop them according to the table listed. In fact, if you want more arrows that badly... Let them shoot you! The first 5 arrows an enemy fires can be picked back up! Assuming they missed or you blocked it with a wooden shield. Metal and other shield types erase arrows they block into oblivion... No idea why. In earlier versions of the game, this limit used to not exist, so people came up with a way to get infinite arrows by just getting shot by enemies for a while. This only works for normal arrows though, elemental arrows when fired are destroyed on impact, and bomb arrows... Well... Explode. If it's raining though, enemy fired bomb arrows are duds and CAN be picked back up! Neat, huh?
The star fragment rate is interesting. In my first normal playthrough, I never saw a Star Fragment drop from a Lynel. It wasn't until I fought Silver and Gold Lynels in Master Mode that I started getting them. This made me think they were Master Mode exclusive drops other than watching the night sky. I wish I had realized the truth sooner.
I usually rely off Lynels to get them because I hate having to look in the sky haha - plus they're fun to fight 😅 Glad I could help you out though!! :)
I found that you can farm star fragments by warping to Shee Vaneer Shrine at the top of dueling peaks. Go to a flat ledge down below the shrine and set up a camp fire and sleep with wake up time night. (if you stay up near the shrine you will be pestered by Stalkoblins) Then face east with Hateno Tower in your view. Shooting stars will appear between 9:00 PM and 3:30 AM, and they will disappear at 5:00. And they will fall within the direction your camera faces. When you see it fall warp to Hateno Tower and you will almost always be able to paraglide to it from there to get it. It involves some waiting but in an hour you may get ten or so star fragments. And that will be all you would ever need.
I went on a guardian spree (all guardians in zora champions ballad hyrule castle and akkala) and no giant ancient cores I was mad cuz that’s what I wanted
I;this video you mentioned that star star fragments from the sky are random. This is true expect for one exception, if you travel to the top of dueling peaks and look out on Hyrule castle during night, you are almost guaranteed a star fragment. All you need is wood bundles and a way to light it. Hope this helps people 🙂 P.S. I might be wrong abt the direction you look in if so just leave a comment on this and I can fix it.
So, lorewise, why do Lynels carry Star Fragments? Do they like them and go around picking them up? Or (unlikely but metal) are they born from the meteors?
There was a time when I was farming guardians for parts to get the final upgrade to the ancient gear, and I got THREE GIANT CORES from ONE guardian. And I popped off like my life depended on it.
After roughly 40 guardian kills the probabilaty to get at least 1 giant ancient core gets boosted to 90% If we take into account that all the legs that you can cut off may also drop it it takes 23 guardians for the same probabilaty after your 18 guardian kills the probabilaty is only 63% without the legs and about 83% with the legs
Nice job! I have a request, something that I would be very interested in. In your cooking video, you showed good places to farm some ingredients. I was wondering if you could do so on enemy farming as well, if that's ok.
One thing I found out on my own was that zora's domain was always a great place to get arrows. Before I used to use fast travel and with every bloodmoon I would fast travel to zoras domain and work my way down. Around 80-120 arrows per run.
Seeing the giant ancient core drop rate makes me feel lucky because I defeated 2 guardians and they both gave me 2 giant ancient cores without reloading, and why do I find giant ancient cores more frequently then the regular ancient cores and ancient springs?
So the rarest drops for a Gold Lynel are: Well really just any combination of drops that includes either 3 diamonds, 3 star fragments, or a combination of the two.
Almost true however you can get the oot armor and fierce deity armor and the swords for both only after beating the first shrine. Yes the rates are bad but can happen. I just started a new game just the other day and got both full sets only after beating the first shrine and nothing more.
Super interesting video!! I was playing earlier today and thought: hmm how would all of the loot drops work? So this came at exactly the right time! :)))
Do falling Star Fragments have loot tables? One time I was going to pick up a Star Fragment but when I got to the base, 2 spawned. Was this like ridiculously rare or just a glitch?
2:20 And the best type of Guardian to farm off for them would be the Stalkers. Not only do they drop the most Guardian parts compared to their companions... *Table appears, with a Stalker, Turret and Decayed Guardian loot boxes* Guardian Skywatcher: ...
In the attached document I didn't find a section about Skywatchers next to the other guardians (there was a later section about skywatchers and other guardian types but it looked special). So either "it's missing", or "guardian skywatchers having better loot is an urban legend and they actually use the stalker table".
So... what you’re saying is, if I want the rarest items in the game, I need to farm all the hardest enemies. Thank you; I would never have figured that out myself.
I think star fragments are the hardest to farm since you can only get them from white and gold lynels, falling from the sky and from this one side quest in the stable by koror forest.
What is the fastest way of travelling in botw is it a speed 5 horse ,big horse, white stallion, sheild surfing or the master cycle 0 and does the damage done to enemies like taluses increase if you use a iron sledge hammer or any other weapon like the boulder breaker or the drillshaft or any other "goron gear"(according to the zelda gamepedia)
Why when I kill an animal with a headshot, It drops better meat? And Why the stone talus in the Gisa Crater gave me at a 100% rate a diamond ore? Well even if I don't know why however that's helpful to know if what i say is true!
I wonder what the odds are of getting a diamond from lifting a rock. I might have inadvertently used up all my luck. Edit: just checked it's not on the list but I swear it happened, oh well.
There's a specific rock on Satori Mountain that I've gotten a diamond from underneath one multiple occasions. It's just a bit south of the Stalnox, near a Korok that's hiding under a small rock beneath a boulder.
Did anyone else used to think that bokoblin horns were the horns they use to alert the other bokos in the camp? Only after like 80 hours of play through did I actually read the description of the item and realise that it was the severed horn.
I'm thinking about setting a long term goal about maxing out the defense of every single piece of armor with the great fairies, so this is very helpful
Hey Croton, I was doing some farming over at the Akkala, and on the citadel side of the broken bridge with the Hylian fighting a black Moblin, I found a guardian with a rusty claymore in its neck. What do you think that's about?
I never would have thought to ask about this, but WOW was this interesting! It's the information I never knew I needed XD Thanks for the video! I love learning more about one of my favorite games. :)
If you ever do another myth busting video, then can you explain how damage from burning weapons is calculated? Even weak weapons can take multiple hearts if on fire. And there always seems to be a minimum damage given even with max armor.
He made a video a couple weeks ago about health and defense stats. I think weapons burning just makes them apply the fire elemental effect on hit, so the info about fire elemental weapons in that video should apply to burning weapons too.
you have a guaranteed star fragment each night. visit a high point on the map like the dueling peaks, point the camera in one direction and don't move it. between 10 pm and 2 am there should be a star fragment drop. it's important that you don't change the view link is looking at
Is this accurate data because this definitly isn't the only things they drop ----- Guardian Skywatcher ----- Normal - x2-3 50.0% - Ancient Gear 50.0% - Ancient Shaft
There are loot tables in the files that are listed not quite how'd you expect - that one I'm assuming is the drops when you shoot off a propeller but I'm gonna have to double check that one
Can you make a video about the weather and the rate at which it rains or thunders and how there can be "Fake Rain" (sun icon but still raining) and wind appearance rate/direction?
I now have a question. What are the chances of a fairy spawning when you cut grass? It happened to me a few times and I want to know if it’s a good farming technique.
