View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Just tried the item duplication and it does not work. Tries it about 20 times using various items and nothing duplicated. It worked for me on everything I tried duplicating. You have to hit Y/B at the exact same time and hold them for about half a second or else you just drop and pick up the original items. I noticed that you have to also look in your inventory after picking up the items before moving around or the increase won't stick. I bought all the expensive armor in Kakariko villiage and buy arrows all over like I've got "fuck you money" in rupees. |

Quoted: For hilarity, fuse any mushroom to any spear or long stick. Almost no damage but it'll punt enemies 25-50 yards. Still no luck sending a korok to space yet. View Quote There is an apple orchard right next to a shrine I found last night. Like 20 or 30 trees. I go around beating them with my mushroom tip (lol) and they drop apples all over. It's a good resource. The mushroom weapon doesn't harm the trees so you can return and harvest again later. |

I constantly duck in combat and it screws me up. I don't mean to but when I'm aggressively using the controller I press the stick in I guess. I wish duck was a different button.

Quoted: The 1.1.2 patch that hit today fixes the dupes, fyi. View Quote Is it online onlybto play or force you to connext for DRM reasons? Do you have to download the patch as a result? I am so sick and tired of game developers forcing patches on single player "cheats" that effect nobody. A person can decide whether to do it or not and harm nobody outside of their own game. But along comes the turds in the dev department forcing people to play the way they intended. Borderlands series was a great example of catering to whiney little shits and ruining some classic glitches. That was part of the fun which made grinding less tedious. |

I want to dupe the Hylian Shield and some dragon parts then I'll update. Unfortunately last night when I went to bed I closed the game and put the Switch back on the charger in sleep mode. I’m probably screwed at this point. I’m hoping it’ll ask me if I want to update when I get home and I’ll just say no and then turn off automatic updates. I’m still pretty low level so I have nothing really of note to clone. But what I was doing was cloning rubies and just selling them for a ton a rupees. I should have cloned my Hylian shield though. |

There’s still a way to dupe items. But to me, it seems over complicated and it costs you rupees and doesn’t appear to be worth it.

Not all enemies though, so if you go to areas from the beginning, they’ll still be weak. But in BoTW, a red Lynel would be replaced with blue, then white, then silver in some areas to keep it challenging. Some bobokins would get harder as well. There were places though where a silver Lynel would spawn there all along, and your character would have to grow accordingly to win that fight and access that area. Kinda like the Gleeoks (three headed dragons) in ToTK. Want to cross the bridge over Lake Hylia? Better be equipped and ready to hang with a fire-laser shooting dragon. |

After multiple sessions of doing nothing but practicing combat on Lynels, I'm now only limited by my inventory of bows & shields.
I got pretty good at parrying, stunning with a bow shot, then mounting. Fighting them is a joke now but its hard on my shields and bows. Luckily you don't lose durability while doing the mounted attacks, so I don't have to worry about my sword breaking. Time to farm more koroks to increase inventories! |

Enemy and found weapons scaling explained:
Basically each enemy you kill has a hidden XP number. More XP = a higher rank of enemy will spawn (except in some enemy rank preset areas). Same for the weapons you will find (except in some preset areas). For example: Base Bokoblins give 10 XP, Silver Lynels give 80 XP, temple bosses give 300 XP, and the final boss of the game gives 800 XP. You can scale up the enemies and weapons without completing any of the story, but it will just take longer. How BotW's Secret XP System of Influences Tears of the Kingdom |

Ughhh…. I went to do the second fort assault with Hoz yesterday and got my ass kicked four times. After the fourth time I just walked away from the battle.
I suck at this game, I just run from most encounters because I just get my ass handed to me. I even tried to unlock another tower and got my ass beat. I’m just kind of wandering around trying to find shrines and koroks because I literally can’t do anything. |

well I sold my switch several years ago but I stopped and bought a new one Monday along with the game.

So there's a fascinating mechanic in the game that's semi-related to the video I posted above about the XP system: "prestige" (not decayed) weapons.
Essentially, those spirit soldier NPC's who hand you weapons in the depths give you prestige versions of weapons. First you have to find the decayed version in the game and break it. Then it enters the pool of the possible weapons they'll give you. Only catch is that the pool is tied into the XP system, so you won't get prestige versions of the better weapons until you progress more and kill more enemies.
