You can do it with rupees?

Glitch only works with things you can hold.

Unless you can dupe a valuable thing and sell them on? Like a star fragment?

Diamonds are worth 500. And one can be found just below hyrule castle

I wasn't overly fussed for TOTK as I didn't really 'get' BOTW but I had money on my Game account so thought I'd just give it a go (mainly due to FOMO from here and elsewhere!) and I'm glad I did - genuinely can't put it down.

Can't work out exactly what they've done differently but I'm loving it.

Agree, the game feels super familiar, but at the same time new and more exciting. I'm only a few hours post introduction, but the world feels more populated, much more detailed, and the sound- particularly the ambient environment sounds are even better than before which is saying something. Overall it feels a bit more "serious" so far, not to mention more difficult. I admit I'm rusty, but where I landed there are plenty of enemies that one-shot me. Must have died 15 times, which honestly feels great as BOTW never really felt dangerous until you encounter the mobile guardians.

Yes I was thinking that yesterday! The ambient sounds are much improved.

I was walking around kakariko yesterday and they’ve added a wood pigeon or cuckoo as part of the ambient music track.

No sorry I should have explained. I nabbed a diamond and just duped that. They sell for 500 each.

Where are the diamonds?

Oh so under hyrule castle, how early can you go there? Ain't it surrounded by gloom?

Nah. One sec. I’ll find the guide I used to find the diamond. Took me two minutes.

Diamond - Location and Details - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Guide - IGN

Diamonds are a rare material in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and are not counted in the Hyrule Compendium. Where to find Diamonds can be tricky, but there are

www.ign.com

Diamonds can be found in treasure chests and are given as shrine rewards. The first and fastest diamond you can get is under Hyrule Castle within the Royal Hidden Passage cave. You specifically want to enter through the Observation Room, which you can get to without contest early on in the game.

The Observation Room is past the First Gatehouse below the floating Hyrule Castle. Follow the road past the First Gatehouse a little ways (shown below in the map image) then look over the ledge toward Hyrule and you'll spot a balcony below. Glide down and enter to find a room with a guard called Nobiro.

Really struggling to get this glitch working lol

Plainsong · 23 May 2023 at 22:29

I cba with stuff like that. Just going to play it.

Kenai · 23 May 2023 at 22:44

Spent 5 minutes duplicating a few diamonds, if it's still working by the time I end up with some large crystallized charges, I might do it again to spam through some extra battery capacity rather than farm 10 trillion bits of ore

So I did the tutorial got go the ground. Opened up the first hub.

A lot of dying- trying to raid a fortress, trying to explore a chasm , ended up somewhere south. Died a lot to a cave troll I finally beat.

Felt I was aimlessly running around I went back to the hub and been given some guidance and quests. Should I hang around here and do a few side missions or head to the village they've talked about?

Entirely up to you. I went to the marker in the north west first. Did a few shrines along the way.

Finding the enemies hit a lot harder in this game. Using a spear with charge attack is a good way to kill harder enemies I find.

Unlocked all towers last night. Finally my map is complete. Now to explore properly.

Nice, I have 2 towers left I think, was always my priority with botw to get the full map early on.

Definitely a lot more challenging, especially as I've only limited armour sets which aren't upgraded and few hearts. But I'm loving this, even when I've died multiple times.

In botw only Lynels really posed a problem for me, guardians were scary early on but once you have ancient arrows they are done in 1 shot.

Thankfully, dying in this game isn’t punishing at all.

I did lol when the map marked my death with a red X and rip text

I haven’t fought a lynel yet. Been killed by one just roaming though!

Got a gerudo claymore with ganondorf amiibo and then fused it with a diamond and it has 60 attack power.

Fusing weapons with the ice horns is pretty op. Even low level weapons.

I've played 30 hours and not done any main objectives yet, towers, shrines and some side missions. Worth getting your pad upgraded too, imo.

Speaking of hours, what are you all at?

Mine is saying 40 or more... :eek:

Is going to that statue and giving 4 shrine tokens the only way to upgrade stamina?

Any of the goddess statues but yes, AFAIK, you can only expand hearts and stamina via this process.

If it's anything like BOTW, I doubt there will be enough shrines to Max both out, so you can prioritise one or the other based on your play style / requirements.
