Thank u croton

croton is love, croton is life@@nothanks2630

How does mineru level up?

sages wills or wearing minerus helm@@The_Bus_Photographerofficial

I'm more than 250 hours into the game and still didn't know that until now! This game is full of surprises. Nice profile picture, by the way.

@@Fiucha8893 thanks dude. Nice pfp also

Thanks for continuing to educate us and for making it an adventure to learn. 👏

As in the Zonaite Helm/Waistguard/Shin Guards?

I forgot it wasn't common knowledge that the zonai helm is the corresponding sage headpiece, so thanks for commenting this!

@@Dionysos_____AltersI think he got that

I'm getting an itch to pick up TotK again with this new information

SPOILERS i haven't gotten there yet 😭

*1 Kohgillion damage

Dang is this the secret 15th sage you get after catching mew behind the truck and having a dad that works at Nintendo? That's crazy that they added that

​@@_ikako_don't forget to hold your switch upside down at 3 am after beating the elite fo- I mean, after defeating all the temple bosses 100 times each!

most BotW info wasn't discovered for years on out, so it's still the beginning of a long journey!!! Thank you though I'm glad this has helped 😄

Yeah really annoying as well as his constant rolling sound so I have to turn him on and off constantly.

He’s literally a ghost why did they give him physics

This game has such good and such bad things about it

If I remember right, all of them have weight, they will actually weigh down objects if they stand on them. But yunobo is the one most people will run into since he's the only sage that is designed ti attach to vehicles

Its not actually weight on hoverbikes, but friction When fans are touching a surface, their thrust is greatly reduced to prevent them from flying around if you accidentally turn them on. Yunobo, for some reason, activates this thrust reducer on fans, which is why it seems like he has weight on airbikes or other fan-based vehicles Put him on a wing and you might notice that there isn't any weight

yeah, and when all sages plus link are beating the crap out of a ragdoll enemy on a corner is probably the funnies shit i've seen in a game for a long time

@@blar2112 Always fucking loved that. Felt like a real "GET THEM" moment when it happened.

I got Tulin first and just loved how that little dude 1: is WAY better at keeping up with you because he can fly 2: has a REALLY easy to trigger ability that DOESN'T require me to walk up to somebody 3: loves to just nail headshots. More than once I've flubbed a flurry rush only for Tulin to dink the monster in the head and ragdoll it. Love that little guy, he's always got my back.

​@@Starflooflenever heard anyone say it, but tulin is a GOD at headshots. it got so bad i began to almost fully rely on him to stun enemies so i can clobber them with no thoughts

​@@StarfloofleI was _so_ scared that Tulin was going to be an Annoying Kid Mascot type but, not only is he actually incredibly useful, _when he's a ghost he shuts up_

I had too many questions when using the sages in this game, figured it would be a good early topic to look into!! Thank you congele 😄

They did this for the first game! Why stop here? 😭

I like this but how would you use them in open world / combat? Like breaking rocks with Yunobo or using Tulin’s gust in combat to blow enemies away.

@@WalidNusseiri the standard way would exist as well.

@@WalidNusseiri The same as always? Tulin's gust can only be useful when paragliding and the player can just grab Yunobo when they're not on a zonai device

Seems like a no brainer right. Maybe they did it because they wanted the player to feel they are actively engaging with the sages, I mean a part of the game is the entire world of hyrule fighting the upheaval together so maybe that was what they were thinking. These "little things" can do so much for immersion. Watching your sages in combat then running up to them to ask for an ability, their help.

indeed, though this is marred slightly by how all of them disappear when Link enters NPC zones for some reason. Don't wanna freak out the norms with your ghosts and robots I guess. Mineru also has some pretty heavy gameplay-story segregation no matter how you look at it.. as they gave her the excuse to not actually be with you and talk (I guess it would break some immersion that she didn't participate in conversations) by having her stay behind and do research.. but rather than getting a ghost of her (which would make way more sense) or a ghost of her mech, you just get.... a copy of the mech. Like her spirit has been trapped in a cell phone for untold millennia, and she doesn't even want to go see the world? But also, the mech-copy still ACTS like a ghost, and can teleport (I mean so can the original body, clearly just for anti-frustration purposes) and hides from NPCs. very odd.

Idr thinking about the last 3 either... Though I do think I used them that way on occasion.

Double bonus! 😎 I love throwing the beams too, like a much more powerful master sword beam!!

If you whistle all your sages will run over to you. Helps so much when trying to get Riju or Sidon to use their ability and not run half way across the map over a Red Bokoblin taking a nap.

i was far too niggardly with my zonanium and capsules. I really should have spent them more often for purposes like that.

@@KairuHakubi "niggardly" "zonanium" wtf did i just read??????

Inconveniently at our service reuploaded due to an audio issue I had to sort out!

Yes, they are. Sometimes it is relaxing to just sit there and watch them bully the enemies for you. (Rewritten from before the reuploap)

They really should've had an L button ability that lets you just pick a specific sage ability mapped to a button instead of the useless map slot.

@@MFG1243IMO Riju and Sidon just needed something similar to Tulin where there's a prompt as you glide, except it's when you aim and holding parry

@@MFG1243 This makes the most sense of all the suggestions I have seen as when you aim with a bow, are on a device controller, are blocking and while gliding L is useless. That would have been the perfect button to use for the sages, but I guess they didn't want to confuse people and didn't want to overlap buttons.

If there's enough sages active chances are at least one of them is close by!! It's fun adapt in the moment by using the ability of the most convenient one

@@Croton Yeah tulin blowing materials over a ledge while you are trying to collect them. Serious design flaw using the same buttons for sages and collect materials.

​@@StinkyremyI mean, nothing is stopping you from just quickly going onto the menu and turning him off I get not thinking of it in the moment but I'm not sure what other button you could really use for it tbh, I guess it could be a menu option which is a solution but I understand not doing that and more just go going for using it in the middle of a battle. At the end of the day I don't think it's that big of a problem, just try to remember to turn him off when you're grabbing stuff. I understand it's kinda anoyying, but hm I understand you can't change the controls if I recall but maybe they could do something like that. At the end of the day, again, I don't think it's that big of an issue I understand why it's anoyying though, can't deny that But everything can't be perfect I suppose

@@Soleihere It is a design flaw as I said. Tulin is the most useful of all the sages and turning him on and off is nit really viable as he will be used so frequently, its not like the others that are situational, yonobo when you go in a cave with heavy rocks that need destroying for example. What they should have done was instead of going up to the game and pressing a button, they should have had a dedicated input for it, like hold the button or something.

​@@Stinkyremy holding the button would really work actually, I think that's the best way to go about it.

That's a very Nintendo thing to do. I lost the count of how many easter eggs I found when playing Mario Odyssey.

I actually like the way they fight with you during combats more than their abilities. Even if they don't to much damage, it feels nice to have somebody in your side.

Yeah it’s really the activation problem that screws them over. If they were activated more like the BotW abilities they’d be much more useful. But as is I’m not going to keep track of and then *chase down* Sidon or yunobo in the midst of battle. I enjoy sniping enemies in stealth so riju is probably the combat ability I use the most, but it’s still annoying to have to chase her down just to pick off a boko camp or whatever

​@SuleX00123but then all 5 come over, you cant single out the one you want. Doing a champion like activation would have been 1000 times better.

@SuleX00123 The sages are nice and i like them, but they do need a rework. Outside combat they stick close to you, getting on the way when trying to pick up stuff and such, i cry every time i remember how many stuff i lost becasue Yunobo blew them out ot Tulin bley them away. Then, on combat, when you want to use their abilities, they go on they own to fight monsters, and calling them they ALL come at the same time, making it a pain to activate the one you want at the moment. I think that they should have done theit abilities more situational or a system to call a single sage and make them jump straight to you like Yunobo coming back so you dont have to wait for them to walk to you, or being able to activate their powers straight away, for example, when aiming with a bow and arrow you can press a button to charge it with Riju ability. BotW and TotK are some of my favorite games of all time, but i still think that the sages needed a bit more time in the oven.

I mean if you really wanna use their abilities use 1 or 2 it's either abilities or the gang beating the crap out of everything@@Cman04092

they're fun and all....until Tulin gets antsy with the wind gusts on a pile of loot

​@@CrotonNah, Tulin is such a good boy, we can forgive him for just a mistake.

@@Fiucha8893 at least until he knocks my gloom spear into the river!

@@general.catallion_8054 That's what Recall was made for.

@@Fiucha8893 this happened over in the jungle area next to sheer drop-off into a river, luckily the spear only landed next to the river, but i was panicking for a moment since i really wanted one for my collection.

Thanks Orca glad you enjoyed! 😄

it adds an element of *surprise* to every fight!

@@Croton Mineru's been out of commission for ages, understandable that the girl wants some explosions every now and then! XD

Appreciate you too man! Thank you 😄

It's only 35 instead of 36 because of the weird rounding rule of 2h weapons in this game; anything with 2h or spear weapons could possibly be off by an integer Glad you enjoyed the video though!

I see why it's hard, considering only one of botws abilities had a unique action (holding jump for revalis gale). Urbosas and daruks abilities were just added on top of previous actions, which I wasn't a fan of and prefer the sage way of manually activating each ability

There is that useless wheel slot used for the map though...if that could have been changed to an ability of your choice that would have been cool!

@@Croton i get why not everyone enjoy how botw champion ability work so that why i think they should just make sage ability as part of the wheel and we can use it like one of our ability, allow us to custom the wheel would be nice tbh. I know a lot of people dont use amiibo so amiibo and map slot can be switch out with 2 sage ability (my pick would be Riju and Sidon)

That's a good plan!! I assume the abilities could be favorited from the key items menu (just like how they can be turned on or off) which would add them to the wheel!! I play with amiibos, so I'd probably save the one slot for sidon

​@@CrotonOh I hated Daruk's and Urbosa's abilities! I would waste my Protections with the most random bokoblin attack and then have none left for a guardian. And don't even get me started on Urbosa's Fury, that thing alone made me stop using charge attacks all together just in case I needed the ability for later. Off topic, but Mipha's Grace was also kind of bad, since it removed all challenge in the late game. I never saw a Game Over screen again, and that takes part of the fun. I much prefer the more versatile and fun sages, I just wish they could be used more easily (without being invasive like the champions)

I think a lot of people fail to appreciate how clearly hard they worked on making them do two things that elevate them above other similar helpers 1. they get out of the way whenever they're blocking your view 2. they don't attack constantly, but seem to use strategy.

Sidon's ability is awesome. I always use a pristine zora claymore with Sidon's ability to take down lynels and gleeoks.

All these things sound nice, till you realize you have better versions of it. That shield sounds cool, but you have to stand there doing nothing as many actions will consume it, which means you saw the attack coming and could just use anything to counter it. If you want to use it to attack it isn't as good opener as others and in mid combat you can get hit stealing it from you. The environmental use is offset as heat not effecting Link is solved through items or clothing which means you don't have to worry about managing a bubble constantly especially if you find something hostile. And the one niche use of letting you use Bomb Arrows in some new situations is nice but is also offset by the fact you have many types of arrows you can use. This, when you compare it to the tools you have, is effectively useless most of the time outside of extremely niche situations that almost never come up unless you're going for an specific build or challenge.

@@Buglin_Burger7878 there will always be people that hard disagree no matter what new information is given. To each their own. 👍

seriously, botw champion ability work like this

The damage increase is additive - so 50% more than 20 is 30, and 100% more (50%+50%) than 20 is 40! (In the visual the second arrow is going off the first arrow in an attempt to imply this)

Oh I understand. That visual confused my brain 😅@@Croton

I tried my best 😂

I feel like people did not take into account how the camera zooms out when you use her. Anyone who's played Monster Hunter or similar games knows that camera-zoom is massively misleading when it comes to running speed. She LOOKS slow, so people think she is, but she covers very decent ground even without the fan, and climbs slopes effortlessly. she's no horse or motorcycle, and certainly no hoverbike, but I find it's usually worth hopping on her back when going some distance on foot.

well, she can glide a little.

I believe 14 - so close enough!!

Mine is Yunobo because I hate mining with weapons and bombs
