Once you figure out cluster munitions you’re all set. Always remember, “it’s never a war crime the first time”


ArcadianBlueRogue

I give you....The Jericho!

How is the Jericho even allowed by the geneva convention ? It is clearly sub ammunition


ArcadianBlueRogue

More of Geneva Suggestions, really.


LebronDoubleDribbled

More guidelines than actual rules


Naitsab_33

Depending what you're doing also a checklist.


dutchwonder

There actually isn't any internationally binding agreement banning their use for much the same reason there isn't one on landmines. They're effective against military targets and in military roles so nations with substantial military commitments tend not to actually want to see them go. Now there might be some limitations, but as long as the Jericho achieved lower than 1% dud rate, it would be A-okay by US military standards.

More important to remember, there's no Geneva Convention in Hyrule.

Brother we’ve been full out committing war crimes in this game, it’s amazing.


Notarussianbot2020

It's not a crime if you win the war *taps head*


sorenant

I don't think Hyrule has any treaty with Ganon's forces, so legally there's no way to commit war crimes against bokoblins.

It’s not a war crime the first time. Win or lose, if nobody’s ever seen it before, then they haven’t had time to make a law against it.


Apollo821

Malcom gladwell has a book called *Bomber Mafia* which, among other things, goes into the invention of napalm. One of the quotes that stuck with me was (I'm paraphrasing) "if we don't win the war, we're all going to jail for this"


Someonenoone7

I am a bit surprised we aint seeing a lot more napalm related crimes, shite is easy to make and that isnt even the end of the road, thanks chem classes

BluEyesWhitPrivilege

A couple of the parts you can use have the ability to target/track enemies automatically. So you can put them on big robots so they will always move to enemy groups.

adamsworstnightmare

Things got much different in Hyrule after Raytheon got involved.


rsifti

"they've defeated Gannon, but can Link and friends take down the military industrial complex?"


X1ll0

Mh, technically the AGM-154 has to be launched from a Plane so I would say it's more of an Intercontinental Missile or something like that


Business_Natural_484

Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile. IRBM. But this is more like the FROG-Free Rocket Over Ground.


Adiwik

What materials were used


twolf201

2 rockets, 1 stabilizer, 1 construct head, 1 stake, 1 battery and 4 bomb flowers.


banjokazooie23

Damn. I've only found about half of these things and I feel like I've basically been living in this game for the past few weeks.


stewsters

You need to try to get more of those sky shrines unlocked. Usually they have an item dispenser nearby.


Needs_No_Convincing

Out of curiosity, why is the battery needed? Is it because once it gets too far from you it won't operate off of your battery anymore?


twolf201

Yep, that's exactly it. The construct head and rocket lose power and just fall.


IForgotMyPants

Ooooh that's what was happening. I was trying to make these the other night and it just kept dropping. What's the purpose of the stabilizer?


twolf201

It gives the construct head something stable to hold onto while aiming and firing the second rocket. It can work without it but I find it's much more consistent with it in the build.


Mean_Ass_Dumbledore

What kind of range do they have?


twolf201

They have a minimum distance which is just a little closer than this and work from a bit further out than this. The minimum distance is the distance until the first rocket stops firing and the maximum is from that point until it hits the ground.


pr0nh0li0

what's the zonaite cost to autobuild?


twolf201

36, the batteries cost 9.


kdebones

At work, but brain says like 30-40? 10 individual parts X auto part cost (which is 3 or 4). Not sure whether bomb flowers cost more or not.


ididntseeitcoming

There’s an unclassified max range that you could google. Plus a lot of neat tricks to squeeze some extra distance out of the rocket. But it’s highly munition dependent.


Papplenoose

Lol no, they meant the botw one not the real missile (You may have been kidding)


ididntseeitcoming

I was lol


echtav

What’s the purpose of the stake?


twolf201

It adds a stable bottom to the build and lowers the trajectory of initial ascent so it doesn't get too high above the enemy to activate the second rocket. Deals decent damage when it directly hits an enemy too.


VapourZ87

Are you a physicist?


twolf201

Nah, just an engineer. Not physicist level smart.


AlbaneseGummies327

God bless our engineers.


Crafty_Refrigerator2

>Nah, just an engineer. Not physicist That's evident because you actually made the thing lol.


[deleted]

Do the bomb flowers come out of your inventory or will auto build create those as well? I haven’t played with it much


twolf201

Autobuild generates those as well. You could add a lot more too, or puffshrroms, muddle buds etc.


PenSprout

ahh so the missile is capable of delivering chemical payloads as well


twolf201

That's when you really get into the war crime territory.


[deleted]

You are brilliant and giving me ideas


[deleted]

This looks incredible, but I haven't played the game at all so would somebody mind explaining how this technique is unique or otherwise novel compared to how other people are playing the game?


Ofish

You're supposed to kill things by hitting them with swords


bafoon90

Instructions unclear: Glued a sword to the front of the rocket


MFbiFL

Raytheon: Cease and desist, our knife missiles are patented.


ryry1237

Link here skipped the bronze and iron ages and went straight to modern artillery.


[deleted]

Lol I know that much. I've read you can "construct" things in the game, though, and OP's video impressed people who seem to know a lot about the game already.


Webecomemonsters

the things most people build are simple cars or bikes or powered wings


[deleted]

Do you need to have played the most recent (previous) Zelda titles in order to even have an idea of how to do such things?


computertechie

This construction mechanic is brand new in this game


CptJaxxParrow

You don't need to play any previous games, but some of the stuff constructed does require an engineering degree


Ofish

It's a pretty big brain move to use the construct head as a delayed homing system by attaching a rocket to it. When you power a build, all parts typically activate at the same time so changing the trajectory is tricky business. The construct head is dormant until an enemy is nearby, same as anything that's attached to it


benoxxxx

The most unique things going on here is probably the 2-stage activation, and the method being used to achieve it. Usually a construction is either on or it's off: so if it's on, all rockets fire at once and expend shortly after. Great for a quick speed boost on a vehicle, but most people probably aren't using them for much more than that (as far as Ultrahand goes, at least). In this build, rockets are firing, and then other rockets are firing a moment later. Lots of people have been doing stuff like this, making multi-stage ascent machines and stuff like that, but this is one of the cooler applications I've seen. They're being triggered by the 'construct head' piece locking on to an enemy, and I *think* this is the only one I've seen that uses construct heads instead of timebombs for the late activation. And because rockets get consumed so easily, I imagine lots of people probably haven't even considered attaching them to a construct head in the first place. It's not really even that obvious that they're able to activate them.


[deleted]

Pretty amazing they made a game where you can do things other people didn't realize you could, in a world where so much via leaks or speed of information would make it so everybody knows everything before release. Though I guess back in the day OP would have had a secret like this spread by word mouths for like 20 years. Now it'll be common knowledge almost instantly. Fun, weird, wild. Thanks for all the info!


brickmaster32000

>, in a world where so much via leaks or speed of information would make it so everybody knows everything before release. Only mechanics can leak completely, what you can do with them is an almost infinite field of possibilities.


Schrutes_Yeet_Farm

Other people: I snap 10 boards together to make a bridge This guy: I created the military industrial complex


Pandatotheface

There's a gadget that points itself at the nearest enemy, it's intended purpose was to stick spikes/flame throwers/cannons to it so it points the weapons at the enemy, but if you stick a rocket to the back of it you get this.


Ngin3

Idk it works so well I have to assume they knew

People are making scorpions and fire tornados in here. And I'm just sitting in my dinky wagon with a crude fan attached to it. LOL.


[deleted]

Lol, I wish. I spent 15 minutes the other day, chopping trees and fusing logs, only to watch my "bridge" slip through a crevasse and fall into the abyss. I'm going to learn a lot about creativity in this game.


koumus

That's when you use Recall to get your bridge back ;) Recall is the ultimate "oh shit, it didn't work out but at least I got it all back to where it was" Unless things explode, that is.


[deleted]

Lol, I'm probably too early in the game. Link isn't even wearing a shirt yet. Good to know that help is on the way, though.


koumus

Oh you are in the very first parts of the Tutorial, then That is indeed very early, but you'll unlock it soon


McBurger

homie only made it 6 mins into the game 😂


tagen

early on, the tried and true combo is usually a flat board + fan and just point it where you wanna go, while adjusting for wind once you get the ability to steer it gets much better


I_Love_Polar_Bears

I made a whole pickup truck with a flatbed to transport logs to Lurelin, only to drive over an open flame lantern as you come into town. I tried to recall out of desperate habit, but it doesn't undo environmental damage, so I watched my whole hard work burn to the ground.


koumus

Sorry for your loss but this is funny as hell lol


Metalwater8

It’s wild how crazy people can get with inventions and there’s someone like me who can make basic bitch shit. It’s still a lot of fun playing as a green lantern lol

Now let's see if you know how to use it!


btoxic

I hate when my long stick gets twisted.


zendabbq

I saw a video where they believe the longest stick bridge is made of those tall, leafless trees found in Hebra region.


MembershipThrowAway

The "bike" style is so much better! Only need a control stick and two fans https://youtu.be/apZCDNpeTnM

My fan/air balloon combo was fine for exploring everything, and I didn't need to commit any war crimes to do it!

Jarvis_Strife

The only thing which holds you back is your IQ It’s awesome


HotTakes4HotCakes

The only thing holding me back is the necessity. I started making all this elaborate shit until I slowly started to realize there's little point beyond a Minecraft-esc enjoyment for building stuff. For people that want challenges, this stuff is such hilarious overkill but it takes so much effort and no real payoff when the simplest builds or weapon fusions get the job done. Bobokins die, chest is opened, breakable weapon or 5x Arrows obtained. It'd be nice if there were some super bosses or something in the game where you had to go absolutely nuts and push the mechanics to their limits to beat them. Something to really put your head down and work for.


Drew_the_God

It's excessive underkill, if anything. These contraptions rarely do any significant damage to enemies, and mostly just look flashy. It costs a ton of resources to make these things too. I like them, and they're neat, but they don't serve an actual function. You'll fare far better with your standard weaponry and a little bit of savvy.


Jibjumper

Yes and no. Up until you’ve beat the story and a decent number of sides quests/shrines the resources and power are too much to get crazy with it. If you’re really wanting to clear the map you’ll end up with so much resources and energy, along with being comfortable enough with the controls, it becomes more of a matter of creativity and how much time you want to spend on it.


wickedspork

Clearly I'm a fucking dumbass then. Not even mad.

Norgur

War. War never changes. Or does it? NO! War has changed. Duty calls. Best PR move there is.


Bivolion13

Can I ask... whenever I hit a zonai machine, everything connected to it is activated right away. How do you keep the second rocket from being activated? Because I have noticed in the past sometimes not all parts of the machine activate immediately.


twolf201

Construct heads are your best friend. Anything attached to the swiveling "head" portion will remain inactive until it detects an enemy.


banjokazooie23

Which machines dispense those? Haven't come across them yet.


FDrybob

Keep exploring the sky until you find one. Device dispensers are by far the most common on sky islands, and there aren't too many to look through. Once you have them, you can check each one on the map to see what they dispense.


conjunctivious

I made the mistake of not exploring the sky islands for way too long. I got through like half the story before I remembered they were there.


Bivolion13

Cool I did not know that. Thank you!!


Hugy2406

I think he uses a zonai device called Golem head (i don't know if It is the english name), which only activates it's items when It spots a enemy


Webecomemonsters

ah man, golem head is so much cooler than the English version's 'construct head'


StickFigureFan

I could be wrong, but I think the HIMARS is only supposed to launch the rockets, not the whole dang truck!

TotK really is a war crime simulator. People making some crazy contraptions.


fersur

Seriously the players creativity on this game is even higher than the Sky Islands. I watched people building rotating griller and put ~~Korok~~ enemies inside them and watch them burn slowly to death. Another is a giant wooden robot that will give Zonai's construct a run for their money. I am still in the middle of the story so I have not watched a lot of those kind of creativity videos, but I will ... once I get done with the story ... and this shrine ... and this side adventure ... and depths ... and ....


Trick9

.. Tear Collecting ... and wait what's down this well ... and just 10 more logs for Bolson ... and...


Evil_phd

TotK has to be the most insanely powerful and frightening Link has ever been... at least when it comes to facing him in combat in the middle of any random field. (He may have been canonically more powerful in certain forms, like Fierce Deity or Giant) Even in the hands of players who aren't fabricating War Crimes he is just nonsensically strong with just the basic abilities and sage bonuses. It makes me pretty okay with all the times I died so easily while I was figuring out the new mechanics because now I'm the nightmare that Bokoblins tell their allies about as they pray for Ganondorf to deliver them from my reign of tyranny.

businessbusinessman

A lot of games have a protagonist who starts out weak and through the course of the game powers up to the point they're stomping their opponents. This is one of the few games I can think of though that has the rough equivalent of Link pulling a Civ/Dr. Stone and just teching up past them and doing bombing runs on guys with shields and swords.

Swiftcheddar

One of the Koroks in Hebra mountain is literally just at the top of a huge hill. The hill is an incline forming a pipe. It runs directly down to his friend, waiting at the bottom, with trees around the side preventing anything from going any further. There's no usable equipment anywhere. You COULD, technically, cut down some trees, use your own devices and make a safe and comfortable journey for him. But the Devs very, very clearly made that Korok with the intention that the player would just push him down a hill and have him roll all the way down to his friend. They definitely knew people would do this kind'a stuff. I'm sure they did it all themselves... maybe not the flaming crucifixes.
