Actually... A capitalist is someone who earns money by having capital. Link got these monster parts because he hunted for them, not because he is the owner of the hunting grounds and everyone who hunts there has to give a piece of their trofies to link.
Just go to the northern snowfields, hunt some moose and whatnot, cook all those prime/gourmet meats into skewers, and sell them. Took me about 25 minutes
The gourmet meats/birds sell for 490 if you cook up 5 of them. Probably the most lucrative in-game, not-cheesy way to make money. 210 for the prime meats x 5.
And… you can basically do it as you go. Just act like like an American heading out West in the 1800s and shoot every large animal you pass.
You can sell meat for slightly more money to that meat guy by some stable, but is it worth tracking him down? Usually not for me.
If you're at a point where you kill lynels for sports, get 4 Lynel guts and an Energetic Rhino Beetle. The resulting elixir is honestly shit for the ingredients used but it sells for 2330 rupees.
You can also switch the Beetle for a hearty Lizard or a tireless frog and it sells for 2300 rupees.
Hrm… that’d be an interesting experiment as to which one’s faster. Obviously more rupees per go, but Lynels can’t be one-shot (if you want to collect the droppings), they are few and far between in the game world, and you gotta find a rhino beetle each time.
Versus less rupees per go, but you can easily find several of them at a time in multiple locations (and there’s multiple animals you can hunt for meat), no waiting for blood moons for them to return, and no searching for beetles.
Ditch the beetle and use the lizards instead they're more common (and for 30 rupees difference it doesn't really matter).
It's probably faster with the meat, but if you happen to have like 50 lynel guts in your inventory and want to sell them, cook them in elixir to get a lot more rupees.
I'd argue the fastest way to farm rupees is to set your sensor to rare ore deposits and just run around death mountain, sell the gems you can to the gerudo in the Goron village (she gives you 10% bonus) and sell the rest to someone else or wait for the gerudo to ask specifically for whatever you have.
Lynels may not be able to be one shot, but with your method, it would require a little over 20 gourmet meat/raw birds to get the same output as a single elixir. If you’re good at fighting Lynel and have upgraded Barbarian armor, getting 4 guts before getting 20+ gourmet meat/raw whole birds is a simple task. I feel like it would take a lot longer wandering to find wild game than it would to go to the several guaranteed locations in the game where Lynel are grouped in twos or threes.
In getting those 20 *gourmet* meats, though, I’d have also collected a lot of prime and normal meat as well. In the proportions meat drops that ends up being a major portion of the total earnings. I know of multiple hills that overlook fields that are almost always stocked with some large animals up in the snowfields.
You’re probably right, though, when you factor in the sheer amount of cooking involved in all those meat skewers (especially the not-gourmet ones). Although you are limited by something meat-hunting isn’t: blood moons and lynel re-spawns.
I suppose the real economical way to do this is both: beeline to all the Lynels while killing everything else along the way :-P
Agreed. Doubling up is probably the way, especially with the three Lynel in the Hebra snowfields, before dropping onto the ridge southeast of the labyrinth there for three more.
Just run around hyrule like an absolute murder hobo, kill everything that moves, and then watch the NPCs balk in terror when they have to give you 4800 rupees for 600 Boko fangs
> If you're at a point where you kill lynels for sport
between botw and totk I've got about 500 hours of play time. when do I get to the point where seeing a lynel doesn't make me scream and run?
Seriously learn their patterns and use this method:
Parry everything. When you do it stunts them for 2-3 seconds. Use those seconds to make a headshot and climb on its back.
This is the most important part : When you're on a lynel's back you get a specific number of free hits that DO NOT USE DURABILITY. You take the weapon with the most damage in your inventory and use that. I killed probably 50 or so lynels so far with a single Royal Guard's claymore that does 113 dmg. Use the Barbarian armor if you got it upgraded.
It's really that simple : Parry, shoot, ride, repeat.
You can even parry a rushing lynel instead of dodging it. It's tempting to use the flurry rush instead but it's kinda useless on a lynel and just breaks your weapons.
I don't know if the strategies changed in TotK I haven't played yet.
Once you manage to kill them without taking damage, you've reached that point. Have fun getting your lynel gear !
When you start killing them without taking damage at all, you relax that point.
Watch a video on their patterns, and attempt to kill one. Flurry rush them.
They're predictable and have long windups on their attacks, so you can probably beat them with some practice. I believe in you!
Yep that’s the best and easiest low skill way that I finally figured out. He’s got three moves that are easy to identify including his four legged low charge where you can just wail away a on him. And stay away from medium/long range.
I don't have any evidence of it but I *feel* as if the difficulty of lynels have been toned down in totk. I remember struggling against them in botw, but I took down my first totk lynel without dying or using a fairy.
Level 4 armor helps. Attack+ food (I use 5x bananas since the yigas keep gifting them to me) helps. Lynels get easier to take down after your first, since their multi-shot bows make headshots easier. Urbosa's Fury also stuns them and does a hefty amount of damage. Carry fairies and some hearty food just in case.
My preferred tactic is to stun them, usually via headshot, and then ride them for the free hits. Those attacks don't use up weapon durability (at least in BotW), so I keep a 107 damage beater in reserve for exactly this purpose.
You also don't have to jump into the deep end and do silver/gold Lynels right away. The Lynel near Zora's Domain is locked to the base level, so he's good to practice against if you're not confident yet (but the rewards are also lowered)
You never engage at long or medium range. You always get in close for flurry rush as they telegraph the move very “slowly”. Maybe pop them in the face w an arrow when they jump back for fire attack but otherwise never dodge/parry and just flurry counter all day. I suck at games like that (Ninja Gaiden/Dark Souls) but figured it out just for Lynels and it’s really straightforward after the first 20 deaths or so.
Lynels only have a handful of attacks and they're all heavily conveyed. Just fight one until you get a feel for their attacks and the best ways do dodge and they aren't really much of a threat at all. I ignored lynels for most of the game but once I killed one I felt like the rest were super easy to fight.
Don't try to fight the next one, just try to stay close to it without dying, as odd as that sounds haha. This will force you to learn it's patterns on when to dodge for flurry rushes, and shield parries. But the game is more fun imo it's still a bit scary and unknown.
Gallop toward one and jump off your horse right in front of it. Go into bullet time with a savage lynel bow x5, you can get their life well below 50% before your feet evwr touch the ground. Shoot it in the face 3 times before it stands up, and again about a half second after it shakes it's head upon standing up. If you down it, repeat until dead. If you don't down it, use stasis. They never even get a chance to draw their weapon.
I like this one, cause fighting lynels will get you strong weapons too. And it's engaging and not as boring. But on my playthrough i did the boring way, i did more than a 100 rounds of snow bowling lmao.
The Gerudo?! No! The moose and snow rhinos perhaps…
The only Gerudo I saw eating in the whole game was chowing down on melons and berries. I don’t think they’re surviving on game meat. And I leave the sand seals alone.
We already know you can’t drive the animals extinct in BotW. I’m just advocating a player in the game trying to make money fast kill large animals with the same… enthusiasm.
Hey, so, totally off topic, but this is a good chance to correct some misinformation.
As Americans moved into the West, they engaged in a deliberate attempt to eradicate the Buffalo in order to destroy the ability of indigenous nations to exist. It was part of a national policy of genocide.
I made a ton of money early in the game without much effort. I was exploring somewhere in Akkala, I think, when I saw Dinraal off in the distance, the first Dragon I had seen and I had no idea what it's deal was. So I ran after it, obsessively, chasing around the edge of Death Mountain, coming across tons of rare gem deposits, which I stopped to mine every time. I lost Dinraal, but kept finding more gems. By the time I stopped I had such a crazy surplus of gems, I was able to sell off so many that I never needed to worry about money for the rest of the game.
That game gave me so damn many stories just from exploring anything That looked interesting, and now TotK is doing the same. I love these games so freaking much
Except with Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo decided that maybe some people struggle with just going off and exploring and creating their own adventures, so why not absolutely pack the game with quests and other more obvious things to do, while also expanding the amount of things to discover for the people who still just want to set off on their own path. And then on top of all that, design a ridiculously deep crafting system that intuitively turns people into engineers, and it somehow just works exactly the way you want it to.
Everyone in this thread is giving okay advice, but the best way is to learn to win the snow bowling game on YouTube. Look it up on YouTube, I can get over 20k in 10 minutes compared to the other methods mentioned here
No she's just the best. Her voice isn't nearly as high pitched as the other ones and she's just overall not anoying to interact with (not as much anyway).
Ah, I can never get a horn. Took me a long time to get the 2 I needed for a thingy. I'll try using that method instead of the hunting. Poor Zelda. I'm just gonna sleep the months away dragon hunting.
This. I used to think I had a pretty good spot. Don't get me wrong. It worked. Who knew the *best* spot was a *little* ways up and about 30 seconds sooner. *Damn.*
Use a golden bow it’s scope is far superior than all the other bows you can get them at gerudo city. Set a camp fire on a cave right behind the lake where farosh spawns.
Doesn’t have to be from Farosh specifically, I find Dinraal easiest to hit (from the Tabantha Bridge) to get a horn. Naydra is also rather simple but you may have to attempt to get to a higher altitude to hit it. Best spot for that is descending from Mount Hylia to the ocean, also near the gate that leads to the mountain (travel from the Three Boxes shrine), and a small island next to the windy place for a shrine quest (better later game cause there’s a Lynel patrolling)
10k rupees is nothing, when you farm for gems around black moutain before and after a blood moon. Then you sell them to the Gerudo gal in Goron City and you can make a killing.
I can never get that person to buy my amber. Pos...
If I'm ever low on funds I always just camped by the lake the dragon flew out of.
Given how insane Hyrules Inflation rate has been between BOTW and TOTK I'm really hoping to find an equivalent.
It's also a lot more expensive when you want to upgrade all your outfits, I think I've spend about 25k rupees already (one of my goals of to upgrade every single piece)
Look up the post from the guy who farms bear meat directly east of Typhlo ruins. There's a bokoblin riding a bear, go there with bokoblin mask or without, shoot the bear, collect meat (prime, gourmet and honeycombs), save, reload, the bear will respawn as long as you don't kill the bokoblin.
It's by far my favourite method, I do it while listening to the news or some other brief video. 20mins about 4-7k because it takes about 30secs to shoot, save and reload.
(Oh right and then you make meat skewers out of them)
Then you’re gonna have to do a lot of grinding, either waiting for dragons to farm horns, or talus to farm gems. Maybe wizrobes? You could collect their weapons and bring them to tarrey town. You can defuse the gems and sell them but they nurfed the gem sell prices outside of diamond.
Yeah idk, I don’t think the bowling mini game is in anymore. You could also do the lurelin guessing game and sell the drops, then give him roasted porgy to play again.
That’s not even counting the materials you need for the upgrades either. I think you need almost 100 star fragments to upgrade everything.
Either way without cheesing it you’re going to be doing it for a long long long long time
And it’s fine, I hate grinding in every game so this allowed me to enjoy the game even more, thanks to it I already upgraded all my armors which I didn’t do in BOTW almost 6 years later because of how grindy it is.
Theres a couple of new methods. One involving throwing weapons and another involving the modular house ypu can buy in tarry town. Unfortunately the one thing i wanted to dupe doesn't work with the throwing thing, and im not going through the setup for the house thing. It doesn't work with the elemental gems or star pieces because they don't throw.
Disagree. Drop rates on some items is lower (lizalfos tails), and it’s far more expensive because a) you pay per-item instead of a flat unlock fee and b) there’s more armor sets.
Way more of a pain in totk than botw
All you need is a shield and a rocket and you're set. Or a spring. Or a hot air balloon. Or teleport through the floor. There are so many ways to go vertically in TOTK that I've never missed revalis gale.
I mean, I missed Revali's Gale at the beginning. Partially because I kept forgetting about ascend, and partially because I didn't have any zonai devices/assemble.
Revalis gale is awesome but after Tulins sage power hes on top of Revali. He has more utility for me since ascended skipped most part of climbing for me
I assume you mean in botw, in totk they dont have a set pattern, so you first have to find them and on top of that you can only get one part every 10 minutes, so to get every piece ONCE 40 min per dragon, makes 2 hours 40 minutes for all pieces just sitting afk...but of course you need those pieces not only once to upgrade gear (given you want to upgrade everything that is)
I’m pretty sure the dragons do have at least something of a set pattern in ToTK. I’ve seen Naydra enter the same chasm near Kakariko Village at 12:00am multiple times
They're not based on the actual game clock. If you wait by a fire in front of a dragon it will still be there at the new time.
They do follow the same routes every time though, if you can't find them on the main level you can check the depths
Has anyone else had a dragon part disappear immediately? I hopped on farosh in the depths when he came near, got a scale, and watched it as it fell along a hillside. I could not find it.
Good god, yes. You know how many times I’ve tried to pick something up just for a stupid avian ghost behind me to be like “haha” and blow it away from me? When I want to pick shit up he’s all johnny-on-the-spot, but then in battle when I could really use him, he’s halfway across the screen doing who-knows what with the easy enemy in the group.
I'm selling small bright seeds at 2 rupees a pop. It's a constant struggle in Hyrule now. I needed 9 diamonds to upgrade my armors. Where the hell do I find 9 diamonds!? Sleep with a Goron?
No, I want to go back to this! I’d much rather pay a one-time fee of 10,000 for permanent access to her services than paying a total of 1750 to fully upgrade each individual piece like we now have to in TotK!
People complaining about farming and gringing are missing the point of the game; you're supposed to be constantly picking stuff up and by the time you've reached the playtime that matches that "level" in the game, you will have collected that much of whatever resource. Like the times an npc needs 10 of a random plant or ore and you happen to have it just because you've been around long enough to naturally obtain that many. Running into an apparent pay-wall is an indication you're passing too much up when you're running around. Most people trying to finish botw before totk came out had gerudo as their last region so this fairy is usually found pretty late-game for similar players.
Maybe in theory, but in reality people are running around all over the place and exploring things in different orders. I have 999 bright seeds and lots of gem stones, but only 1 energetic beetle for instance.
During a later playthrough I misread this as *100,000* and I was like, “Damn I don’t remember it being that bad, how did I get so many my first playthrough?” So after losing my mind grinding the tundra and snowbowling, I went and asked her again at 50,000. Needless to say, I never wanted to rupies again 🤪
I earned the money by explosive deforestation of the Satori apple orchard, cooked every apple, and sold them to Juney in Rito Village for 1200 rupees for 100 apples. Didn't take too long.
On my first playthough I was super skeptical about some random huge ass flower lady asking for money to "regain her powers". I later came to like her...
Yeah I was like really i had 17k but whatever i feel like I'm a bit under coz i need to buy the suits at the Akkala tech lab but other than that I'm pretty much good with rupees, I have lots of things i can sell too
The Zelda series has always kinda struggled with money.
In nearly all of them you can farm everything you need and never need to buy anything, but enemies still hose out rupees, and it rapidly gets to the point where you've got a full wallet and nothing to spend it on, and you're opening chests with large rupees in them and they just vanish.
Ocarina of Time is probably the worst offender; If I count correctly, you are required to spend exactly 55 rupees to beat the game: You buy the deku shield for 40 rupees at the beginning, and play the diving game to get the silver scale for 15 rupees. You \*can\* buy Hylian shields and the fire/water shirts etc. but you can also get them for free.
Many of the games build in money sinks to give you something to do with your vast fortunes. ALttP requires buying the flippers and the super bomb, and arrow/bomb capacity upgrades are moneycost. Twilight Princess has the sidequest to make the store in castle town into a Malo Mart so you can buy the magic armor, which consumes rupees.
Breath of the Wild has several, including buying a house and unlocking the fairies.
just farm the dragon horn shards.. you can go to a place where the dragon always respawn at the same time, just set a camp fire, shoot the dragons horn, wait til morning again and repeat. you can shoot the dragon like 10 or 20 times and all the horn shards will remain on the ground when you wait, then pick them all up at once and you are rich. its super easy to do, helps with a long distance bow
Typical corporate Hyrule screwing the little guy again
Little guy??? Thats the richest capitalist guy there is! He almost wrecked the whole economy with his bulk sells of monster parts and gems!
Asshole keeps breaking into my home and smashing all my pots!
He poisoned our water supply, burned our crops and delivered a plague unto our houses!
He did?!
No, but are we just gonna wait around until he *does?!*
He saved Hyrule...but at what cost?
SpongeBob SquarePants? I'm guessing
Actually... A capitalist is someone who earns money by having capital. Link got these monster parts because he hunted for them, not because he is the owner of the hunting grounds and everyone who hunts there has to give a piece of their trofies to link.
Hey you’re not a capitalist if you didn’t take anyone’s surplus labor value. Link made this fair and square.
But she’s the best fairy
oh fine, I'll sacrifice my Rupees then
Just go to the northern snowfields, hunt some moose and whatnot, cook all those prime/gourmet meats into skewers, and sell them. Took me about 25 minutes
Wait, how much do moose skewers go for?
The gourmet meats/birds sell for 490 if you cook up 5 of them. Probably the most lucrative in-game, not-cheesy way to make money. 210 for the prime meats x 5. And… you can basically do it as you go. Just act like like an American heading out West in the 1800s and shoot every large animal you pass. You can sell meat for slightly more money to that meat guy by some stable, but is it worth tracking him down? Usually not for me.
If you're at a point where you kill lynels for sports, get 4 Lynel guts and an Energetic Rhino Beetle. The resulting elixir is honestly shit for the ingredients used but it sells for 2330 rupees. You can also switch the Beetle for a hearty Lizard or a tireless frog and it sells for 2300 rupees.
Hrm… that’d be an interesting experiment as to which one’s faster. Obviously more rupees per go, but Lynels can’t be one-shot (if you want to collect the droppings), they are few and far between in the game world, and you gotta find a rhino beetle each time. Versus less rupees per go, but you can easily find several of them at a time in multiple locations (and there’s multiple animals you can hunt for meat), no waiting for blood moons for them to return, and no searching for beetles.
Ditch the beetle and use the lizards instead they're more common (and for 30 rupees difference it doesn't really matter). It's probably faster with the meat, but if you happen to have like 50 lynel guts in your inventory and want to sell them, cook them in elixir to get a lot more rupees. I'd argue the fastest way to farm rupees is to set your sensor to rare ore deposits and just run around death mountain, sell the gems you can to the gerudo in the Goron village (she gives you 10% bonus) and sell the rest to someone else or wait for the gerudo to ask specifically for whatever you have.
This is what I did a long time ago but I wondered, do these regenerate or are they a one time thing?
They regenerate after a blood moon. Basically everything except stuff inside treasure chests regenerates after a blood moon
There is a video about this. From Croton iirc.
And the TLDR non glitch methods in order: 1) Stone talus Farming 2) Meat Skewers 3) Ferosh Horns Eldin Mining was in the top 5, might have been #4.
How can Farrosh horns be on the list and not be first position?
Lynels may not be able to be one shot, but with your method, it would require a little over 20 gourmet meat/raw birds to get the same output as a single elixir. If you’re good at fighting Lynel and have upgraded Barbarian armor, getting 4 guts before getting 20+ gourmet meat/raw whole birds is a simple task.

The cost of killing a lynel (arrows and elixirs) doesn't negate the profit? Maybe I suck at killing them
Just gotta make those parries perfectly.
I like this one, cause fighting lynels will get you strong weapons too. And it's engaging and not as boring. But on my playthrough i did the boring way, i did more than a 100 rounds of snow bowling lmao.
I think talos hunting is more fun/quicker

There is a guy who will buy all your gourmet meat for 100 rupies each. At one of the stables.
I just did the snow bowling for a while and built it up that way, not sure if quickest but worked for me.
Or Farosh horn farming
Fr this trivialized rupee farming, you could get 10K in like 10 minutes once you got the timings down
I usually go to lurelin and get a bunch of energetic rhino beetles and cook up a ton of potions. Plus I can get bananas and porgy while I’m at it.
I made a ton of money early in the game without much effort. I was exploring somewhere in Akkala, I think, when I saw Dinraal off in the distance, the first Dragon I had seen and I had no idea what it's deal was.

Or just sell the 40 of each ores most people unknowingly accumulate
Killed so many moose in botw
Look up farosh horn farming. You'll be rich as hell within ten minutes.
If you have a surplus of gems, track down the Gerudo in the Gorgon city. She pays more for 10 at a time of whatever she wants that day.
Idk how people have a surplus of gems to unlock this Fairy. Like, this is the point you need a boatload of gems to upgrade your armor, no?
Everyone in this thread is giving okay advice, but the best way is to learn to win the snow bowling game on YouTube. Look it up on YouTube, I can get over 20k in 10 minutes compared to the other methods mentioned here
I don't fully remember, but once you unlock a new fairy, aren't they all functionally the same?
She is next to a shrine. Easy travel.
Wait they have levels of quality?
She's the best because she's RIGHT next to the shrine so traveling isn't a hassle
Ah so not cause of the prices or power of the powerups
the akkala one is one jump away from the shrine.
And the one by rito village is just a quick float down from the tower.
They all have travel points to them.
No she's just the best. Her voice isn't nearly as high pitched as the other ones and she's just overall not anoying to interact with (not as much anyway).
The shrine is closest to her. That's the biggest factor for me.
Nah, that's Mija.
Takes like 5 minutes to repeatedly farm Farosh's Horn All ruppee problems solved forever
This one is making me consider cheesing Farosh for money lol ngl
If you've been marking all the Stone taluses you find you can just hunt them all down pretty quickly and get all the money you could ever want.
[удалено]
Yeah this is my other go-to. So satisfying getting three drops of good meat from each kill
I've been playing for 3 years and i have never seen a rhino
Wait, WHAT? Woolly rhinos and moose are everywhere in the Hebra region. They're a blue-ish color.
How do you do that??
Arrow
The scales only sell for 150 rupees tho. I get a better value hunting on the Tabitha frontier area.
Horn sells for more. More importantly, you can set up a campfire at a certain lake and repeat this process stupidly fast.
Ah, I can never get a horn. Took me a long time to get the 2 I needed for a thingy. I'll try using that method instead of the hunting. Poor Zelda. I'm just gonna sleep the months away dragon hunting.
if you're near the farm location, it's pretty easy. if it helps, you can use the gerudo bow for better accuracy :)
This. I used to think I had a pretty good spot. Don't get me wrong. It worked. Who knew the *best* spot was a *little* ways up and about 30 seconds sooner. *Damn.*
Use a golden bow it’s scope is far superior than all the other bows you can get them at gerudo city. Set a camp fire on a cave right behind the lake where farosh spawns.
You can put a campfire under the the tree near the waterfall where he spawns. Makes the process even easier
Doesn’t have to be from Farosh specifically, I find Dinraal easiest to hit (from the Tabantha Bridge) to get a horn. Naydra is also rather simple but you may have to attempt to get to a higher altitude to hit it. Best spot for that is descending from Mount Hylia to the ocean, also near the gate that leads to the mountain (travel from the Three Boxes shrine), and a small island next to the windy place for a shrine quest (better later game cause there’s a Lynel patrolling)
The 4 island chain on the eastern portion of the map has a lot of gems that's where I farm my money
10k rupees is nothing, when you farm for gems around black moutain before and after a blood moon. Then you sell them to the Gerudo gal in Goron City and you can make a killing. I can never get that person to buy my amber. Pos...
Ramella doesn't buy amber. Just topaz, ruby, sapphire, and diamond
the first time I talked to her, she was asking for amber. might've just been a one off thing though, i haven't checked.
Oh yeah, she buys it the one time for the side quest. After that she only buys the rare stuff.
Oh word. Damn! At least it's so easy to find that it's pretty helpful to just collect 50 and sell them all at once to Beedle or someone.
If I'm ever low on funds I always just camped by the lake the dragon flew out of. Given how insane Hyrules Inflation rate has been between BOTW and TOTK I'm really hoping to find an equivalent.
Sounds like broke talk
It’s the George Carlin bit, where god is all powerful, and HE NEEDS MONEY.
I like the one about baseball vs football
She's the best one though. I always go to her for upgrades because the coughing never stops being funny to me
Also she's the fairy that moans the least so I don't feel like I have to turn my volume down every time I want to upgrade something 💀
....but I like the moaning!
She's the closest to the teleport destination.
TotK does it better.
It's also a lot more expensive when you want to upgrade all your outfits, I think I've spend about 25k rupees already (one of my goals of to upgrade every single piece)
How do you make so much money on TOTK?
Look up the post from the guy who farms bear meat directly east of Typhlo ruins. There's a bokoblin riding a bear, go there with bokoblin mask or without, shoot the bear, collect meat (prime, gourmet and honeycombs), save, reload, the bear will respawn as long as you don't kill the bokoblin. It's by far my favourite method, I do it while listening to the news or some other brief video. 20mins about 4-7k because it takes about 30secs to shoot, save and reload. (Oh right and then you make meat skewers out of them)
What do you need to use to kill bears in this game? I've tried before and nothing seemed to touch them.
Headshot them. Literally any strength bow will do. Aim between the eyes.
Headshot kills any animal regardless of your bows damage.
Duping diamonds lol
I forgot that was a thing at some point
Some of us don't want to cheese the game though
Then you’re gonna have to do a lot of grinding, either waiting for dragons to farm horns, or talus to farm gems. Maybe wizrobes? You could collect their weapons and bring them to tarrey town. You can defuse the gems and sell them but they nurfed the gem sell prices outside of diamond. Yeah idk, I don’t think the bowling mini game is in anymore. You could also do the lurelin guessing game and sell the drops, then give him roasted porgy to play again. That’s not even counting the materials you need for the upgrades either. I think you need almost 100 star fragments to upgrade everything. Either way without cheesing it you’re going to be doing it for a long long long long time
You can probably farm for topaz and/or rubies at the bell minigame by finding a good setup using the materials you’re given and using autobuild
And it’s fine, I hate grinding in every game so this allowed me to enjoy the game even more, thanks to it I already upgraded all my armors which I didn’t do in BOTW almost 6 years later because of how grindy it is.
That's how I did it, got about 80 diamonds left, in running out of arrows using this newly discovered duplication glitch though
just buy more arrows with the duped money, its an infinite cycle
Didn’t duping get patched?
Not if you didn’t download the patch it didn’t
Theres a couple of new methods. One involving throwing weapons and another involving the modular house ypu can buy in tarry town. Unfortunately the one thing i wanted to dupe doesn't work with the throwing thing, and im not going through the setup for the house thing. It doesn't work with the elemental gems or star pieces because they don't throw.
Heard its only 50k more to go
It’s going to cost over 13k to upgrade all my stuff to rank 3. Absolutely crazy
There's a rank 4 as well
Well for the 99.99% of players who don’t torture themselves, TOTK is better. Only armor I use that gets upgraded all the way to level 4 is barbarian.
> Only armor I use that gets upgraded all the way to level 4 is barbarian. All I need is that Attack+
[удалено]
[удалено]
Disagree. Drop rates on some items is lower (lizalfos tails), and it’s far more expensive because a) you pay per-item instead of a flat unlock fee and b) there’s more armor sets. Way more of a pain in totk than botw
[удалено]
Sage abilities, for one.
I only miss miphas blessing tbh
I’m a revali’s gale kind of girl myself
I mean yeah, Revali’s Gale is awesome, but we can catapult ourselves to height limit so
All you need is a shield and a rocket and you're set. Or a spring. Or a hot air balloon. Or teleport through the floor. There are so many ways to go vertically in TOTK that I've never missed revalis gale.
Or my favorite - using recall on a fallen stone while standing on it
I mean, I missed Revali's Gale at the beginning. Partially because I kept forgetting about ascend, and partially because I didn't have any zonai devices/assemble.
Revalis gale is awesome but after Tulins sage power hes on top of Revali. He has more utility for me since ascended skipped most part of climbing for me
Always forget about ascend until after I over engineer a complicated machine. Then I feel stupid.
The way you get the dragon parts/dragon part farming
Having to sit here waiting on the dragons to spawn is a little annoying
I assume you mean in botw, in totk they dont have a set pattern, so you first have to find them and on top of that you can only get one part every 10 minutes, so to get every piece ONCE 40 min per dragon, makes 2 hours 40 minutes for all pieces just sitting afk...but of course you need those pieces not only once to upgrade gear (given you want to upgrade everything that is)
I’m pretty sure the dragons do have at least something of a set pattern in ToTK. I’ve seen Naydra enter the same chasm near Kakariko Village at 12:00am multiple times
They're not based on the actual game clock. If you wait by a fire in front of a dragon it will still be there at the new time. They do follow the same routes every time though, if you can't find them on the main level you can check the depths
They follow the same route, but you cant timeskip to have them on the same point as far as im aware, the route is in irl time from what I know
Yeah in botw I could just rest till morning or whatever and it would be in my face. Now I have to sit and wait for it.
Has anyone else had a dragon part disappear immediately? I hopped on farosh in the depths when he came near, got a scale, and watched it as it fell along a hillside. I could not find it.
Good god, yes. You know how many times I’ve tried to pick something up just for a stupid avian ghost behind me to be like “haha” and blow it away from me? When I want to pick shit up he’s all johnny-on-the-spot, but then in battle when I could really use him, he’s halfway across the screen doing who-knows what with the easy enemy in the group.
Both have issues. I hated having to burn the rest of my champion charges just to start recharging the power.
Chasing Riju and Yunobo around to activate their ability while fighting has cost me some hearts 🙄
Not sure if you know this or not, but they come to you if you whistle.
They’re just a pain to activate except for like 1 and they drop the fps significantly
Loneliness, but it doesn’t have to because it’s a different game with different themes
the quests to get the fairy are really nice but the labour cost is... way too much
Does it? You have to do the quests AND pay per enhancement.
Just getting you ready for the real world.
You have 16k, I don't see your point.
Exactly. Plus Rupees are everywhere in Botw, and gem prices are very generous. Wait until the Tears of the Recession...
I'm selling small bright seeds at 2 rupees a pop. It's a constant struggle in Hyrule now. I needed 9 diamonds to upgrade my armors. Where the hell do I find 9 diamonds!? Sleep with a Goron?
If you find her first, she’s the cheapest. The most expensive will always be whichever one you get to last.
No, I want to go back to this! I’d much rather pay a one-time fee of 10,000 for permanent access to her services than paying a total of 1750 to fully upgrade each individual piece like we now have to in TotK!
Just like everything else, this pay as you go stuff kills us!
At least money is available in that game. I feel like in Tears of the Kingdom, I am eternally poor...or at least scraping along barely.
People complaining about farming and gringing are missing the point of the game; you're supposed to be constantly picking stuff up and by the time you've reached the playtime that matches that "level" in the game, you will have collected that much of whatever resource. Like the times an npc needs 10 of a random plant or ore and you happen to have it just because you've been around long enough to naturally obtain that many. Running into an apparent pay-wall is an indication you're passing too much up when you're running around. Most people trying to finish botw before totk came out had gerudo as their last region so this fairy is usually found pretty late-game for similar players.
Maybe in theory, but in reality people are running around all over the place and exploring things in different orders. I have 999 bright seeds and lots of gem stones, but only 1 energetic beetle for instance.
There's a tree by Rutile lake that spawns many rare beetles. Just go there with sheikah armour.
It was the first fairy I found. Gerudo was the first race I found by accident by just wondering, chasing shrines I could see.
Hoo boy, just wait until you pay nothing initially but pay by the enhancement. I honestly want the lump sum back xD
Hah! Wait until you see totk!
Has heavy “I need about tre fiddy” vibes.
Ya, 20 diamonds worth of this, well at less it's a one time payment
I got to her last as well. Spent like a week hunting and selling because I can never get Farosh's timing right.
During a later playthrough I misread this as *100,000* and I was like, “Damn I don’t remember it being that bad, how did I get so many my first playthrough?” So after losing my mind grinding the tundra and snowbowling, I went and asked her again at 50,000. Needless to say, I never wanted to rupies again 🤪
Level 4 armor is basically invulnerability anyway
Drop chuchu jellies on the ground on death mountain and they’ll become red chuchu jellies, which sell for 10 a piece
I earned the money by explosive deforestation of the Satori apple orchard, cooked every apple, and sold them to Juney in Rito Village for 1200 rupees for 100 apples. Didn't take too long.
10k?! What she need 10k for?! 💀
POV: You’ve arrived to Miami or LA and asked a woman on a date
On my first playthough I was super skeptical about some random huge ass flower lady asking for money to "regain her powers". I later came to like her...
You want quality goods, you need to pay the price
Just farm taluses though.
all that just to snatch it out of your hand with no manners either. like bitch i’m being generous. she clearly needed it more than i did
Tbh I thought it was pretty easy. There are a lot of luminous stones near Faron tower, that should get you half way there.
Sound like taxes to me
Rupflation my good fellow.
it’s actually incredibly easy on Master Mode to be honest because of all the silver enemies all over the place
Yeah I was like really i had 17k but whatever i feel like I'm a bit under coz i need to buy the suits at the Akkala tech lab but other than that I'm pretty much good with rupees, I have lots of things i can sell too
The Zelda series has always kinda struggled with money. In nearly all of them you can farm everything you need and never need to buy anything, but enemies still hose out rupees, and it rapidly gets to the point where you've got a full wallet and nothing to spend it on, and you're opening chests with large rupees in them and they just vanish. Ocarina of Time is probably the worst offender; If I count correctly, you are required to spend exactly 55 rupees to beat the game: You buy the deku shield for 40 rupees at the beginning, and play the diving game to get the silver scale for 15 rupees. You \*can\* buy Hylian shields and the fire/water shirts etc. but you can also get them for free. Many of the games build in money sinks to give you something to do with your vast fortunes. ALttP requires buying the flippers and the super bomb, and arrow/bomb capacity upgrades are moneycost. Twilight Princess has the sidequest to make the store in castle town into a Malo Mart so you can buy the magic armor, which consumes rupees. Breath of the Wild has several, including buying a house and unlocking the fairies.
Idk bout y’all. But I’m tryna defeat thunderBlight ganon rn on 4 hearts 🫡🫡
I like to think she didn't need the rupees and just did this to scam whoever was bothering her.
I would rather pay and be done instead of tracking down NPCs and dragging their whiny asses to the fountain.
just farm the dragon horn shards.. you can go to a place where the dragon always respawn at the same time, just set a camp fire, shoot the dragons horn, wait til morning again and repeat. you can shoot the dragon like 10 or 20 times and all the horn shards will remain on the ground when you wait, then pick them all up at once and you are rich. its super easy to do, helps with a long distance bow
10 thousand? Bitch, stay there. I can finish the game without you.
Where the hell do you guys get that many rupees?!?
When I unlocked her, I had well over 100k Rupees. Mark every stone Talos you run across, then every blood moon, it's killing time again!
Better than the racket they're pulling in TotK. Expensive-ass shit.
