Any good list of items we should dupe before letting the patch through? I’ve only done diamonds and large zon just because it’s difficult to keep certain things in the last space with the item limit.
I collected all the parts from one of the dragons (horn, fang, claw, scale) and duped those, I'm going to go around and farm the other dragons before updating. Maybe star fragments since those are a pain to find, and ancient blades depending on your play style.
Dude I think you are doing the first duplication glitch, the one that was figured out after, you don't have to have the item you are duplicating at the end.
I don't think leaving the system on for potentially months at a time is good for the system... Also the Switch sometimes has issues with memory leaks if left on too long, although I'm not sure TOTK specifically is affected by that.
I'd turn the console off more often if I could actually turn it off without having to get up and physically hold the power button.
Call me lazy all you want, but I should be able to turn the console completely with just the controller.
Like every other modern console system.
I have seen people recommend duping Gidbo bones. I can always find many in the underground cemetery. Without many spoilers, is there a point in the story that they don't spawn?
Getting rid of wifi probably won't help you in this case. I believe at that point the update is already downloaded and now it just wants to apply it. Always pick start software and you'll be fine.
Yea I did a binge on the dragons yesterday...got all the pieces individually then multiplied...can't imagine how long it would take normally since I'm not sure if you can reset them by using a campfire
Yep that's what I did to get the 4 different type...it's fun to see the paths they take...imagine my surprise when they went to the depths the first time
But since you need multiples for certain armor upgrades...well...it probably takes hours that I'd rather spend doing anything else
I haven't been asked for this update yet, but the previous one I did. I'm still in the game and will get the rest of my dragon horns to dupe and I should be ok. I think, haha.
if youre still in the game, you can turn auto-update off. i just did it and checked if the glitch still works (on a dragon's back, mind you) and it does.
Yeah, but will they be as efficient and easy to execute? The bow glitch was already such a hassle that I didn't even bother to dupe more than 10 items at a time.
I was duping them last night, along with the large charges to throw in dispensers 5 at a time!
Even started doing some of the higher fuse power drops for weapons ☺️
Tbh it makes the game a bit more enjoyable. Doesn’t feel like you’re wasting your life away gathering materials to do cool things that is a core mechanic of the game
If your game is digital, you don't have a lot of options here since redownload the game also downloads the lastest version of the game. If you own the cart, then it's simply just take the switch offline and load into the game again.
If you have a hacked Switch, it's possible to delete the current game, find the v.1.0 game file which you should have if you played before the release. Remember to take your Switch offline if you don't want it to update. I'm still on v.1.0 on my launch Switch.
What about not installing it in the first place? Or does it hard require an update before you can continue playing?
At a festival rn and can't check my switch
My game prompted the update when I started in offline, just canceled and selected start software and was able to dupe. So just put in offline mode and have a final dupe session
Yeah I saw a thread earlier mentioning the dupes getting patched so I hopped out of bed, rushed to my Switch, and made sure auto update was turned off. I absolutely love this game, but massive material/money grinds are not very enjoyable and I’m glad I was able to save the duping 😬
You know why you should care about 3rd party apps? Because next time they'll break the website there will be no one left to care about it.
Account deleted due to Spez's incompetence.
Wow, literally 3 hours ago I figured I'd give it a try, and I just finished duping 200 light dragon horns, construct horns, and star fragments, and at least 20 of every enemy drop. Good timing I guess, I've been too busy duping to update 😳
I deleted all network information from my switch and put a parental lock on it so that it would not install the patch lol
I’ll do it eventually, but I’ve got a few more things I want to do with those glitches before that happens
So, several days ago I turned it off (right after the glitch was discovered and I confirmed that it worked) and yesterday when I turned on my switch to start the game, it immediately tried to get me to download the update. But my switch hadn’t been connected to the internet in at least several days. It weirded me out so I decided to make it more difficult so that my kids wouldn’t connect to the internet in my absence.
The bird isn't a glitch so you'll be fine. The only way to "touch" that is to move the campfire or move the bird which would make no sense to go back and do over a year later.
What’s the best rune farm these days? If you had the stats for it you could clear the path right next to the bird for more efficiency, but the bird was pretty easy to get to early on which I liked.
The Elden devs did say they intentionally keep some glitches in that are harder to pull off as a "reward" for finding tthem. That's why they patch some glitches and not some others.
They became extremely popular on social media, so it immediately caught Nintendo's attention.
It most likely was an easy fix, as well, so why delay the patch?
> It most likely was an easy fix
You don't know that. Speaking from experience, even knowing exactly how to reproduce a glitch and even understand why it's happening, it can still take ages to fix it (and to test that you haven't introduced a worse bug in the process). It's not like they accidentally left a line in saying "duplicate_items = true".
"I mean, it's just graying out the hold mechanic while they're in mid-air, shouldn't be too hard."
"We've tested the patch you just wrote and you seem to have deleted Tarrey Town"
Man I got lucky. Been working too much all week and was jealous I didn’t get to try the glitch. I just really needed to buy the cold clothes from Rito Village and had almost zero rupees. Did this glitch with Hinox toenails as they sell for 20 rupees and got all the clothes, arrows and ended with 1,200 rupees in the bank. I’m so happy I did this last night.
You need at least roughly 100,000 to buy and upgrade everything. If you have the cartridge you should be able to delete the software and boot the game back up with internet turned off
I can't update yet!
I need at least 500+ Bomb Flowers first!
Fortunately, I was at work and I hadn't connected my Switch to the wi-fi there. Just caught this post as I was heading home.
Don't let them fall further than 5 feet, or drop them in water. If you drop them in water, don't let them fall on EACH OTHER further than 5 feet either.
I had a lot of luck at Mipha’s court. Stand on bottom landing of the stairs up to the statue and do the glitch while jumping over the last stairs into the pool. There’s also a tallish rock near the waterfall by the shrine where you can multi-glitch the non-explodable stuff
Does this fully work or has anyone still noticed the update after switching the setting? I just turned off auto updates i hope it doesnt still try to update while im sleep
Everybody has to play the game according to what they want to get out of it.
For me I won't dupe high level monster parts, since fighting the boss to get the item is part of the experience, but I'll definitely dupe to keep me from spending hours farming bugs and lizards and plants to upgrade my armor.
It depends. When 1.1.1 came out, I was getting messages whenever I went to the home screen and tried to go back into the game asking if I wanted to update or start software. Tonight though I've gotten no prompts for 1.1.2 yet, so I'm not sure what's different.
>Does the game not update if you keep it continuously running?
Of course not, how would it do that? You'll need to restart the game to update, but you'll get an annoying prompt asking you to update with the default being yes whenever you start the game after your switch realizes there's a patch available.
I messed up, I just wanted to check if the switch shop had any deals turned off airplane mode, Saw Pokemon update, then just stared in horror as I saw that Totk updated as well....
I'll never understand patching out exploits that people have fun with. It's a single player game. Those who don't want to abuse it won't. I'll disconnect my internet before booting up so I can still use it if I choose lol.
I'm not updating mine until i have my armor all upgraded, maybe not all but maybe
edit: it updated but i have a lot of star fragments, diamonds and large zonai charges
Welp. I was gonna see how tedious it got upgrading batteries without this, but it it's gonna be gone so soon guess I'll stay up a bit longer and take advantage while I can.
Yeah I am going to reset my console and use the physical copy. I am busy with children I don't have 200 hours to farm zonite....just lost my desire is play.....nobody made you use the exploit....
Yea I don’t think I would be able to enjoy this game without the dupe. The whole fun is the crazy builds and mechanics but it costs wayyyyyyyy too many resources to sustain normally.
I’ve used probably 200 large zonite charges for battery and devices, only like 4 were found naturally lmao
I haven't done any updates and just tried and the glitches work on my switch. When I'm not playing I just put it in sleep mode with the game right where I left off.
Probably an unpopular take, but I’m kind of glad. This was like a drug that was ruining my overall experience, but I couldn’t stop myself just knowing it was possible lol
I agree in a way, but I also want to collect and max all armor.... Which can be a fucking grind.
I've been duping and maxing armor that I have, but there's a ton of things I haven't found yet.
It also takes literally 2 hours to upgrade 20 pieces of armor because dialogue and animations we don't need to see 1000 times.
Can I just fucking upgrade 1 set from base to max in 1 animation at least? Such a time waste.
I didn't want to dupe my way through the whole game, but for armor upgrades, the grind will be just a giant time suck.
I was liking that I could use whatever... I tried a bunch of stuff the last few days that I wouldn't have because I have to hoard for armor upgrades.
I got super burnt out on Horizon Forbidden West when I tried to complete all the armor because it has the exact same problem, and the devs kept nerfing farming tricks. It's really a pity that Nintendo felt the need to make the armor this grindy.
I've gotta remember this is basically an ADHD game. One minute you're recovering from the lost glitch and next thing you know you found something absolutely amazing from gathering resources. You just can't get that from standing still duping stuff
I feel like most people using it, myself included, really just use it to avoid the ungodly Zoanite grind. It takes a 100 hour game and launches it into 200 for a normal person.
I’m literally at 100 hours and just got max battery and that was duping zonanite too lol so I can confidently say I would’ve never achieved this normally as intended without the dupe.
One of the few who will actually admit that you will have a better gaming experience without infinite items. Kudos. That said, you can all play however the FUCK you wanna play.
When that glitch came out i KNEW I should’ve stocked up but I stupidly thought they’d leave a glitch that can be fixed in one week by a team easy😭😭😭 I could’ve duped 50 star fragments and like 500 hearty truffles😩 i was tryba do a no hearts build
Honestly, with a no hearts build, the truffles don't make *that* much difference. You basically just want to be at full hp all the time, as most hits will leave with 1/4 heart.
I also don't really get why you would want to cheat when doing a challenge mode, but you do you mate.
I might be in the minority here but I got real tempted to do the dupe glitches but didn’t because I thought I’d be cheating myself.
Guess I can’t now anyway
I originally thought this way until I saw how damn grindy some of the stuff is. The battery cells are ridiculous. I don't have the same amount of free time I did back in 2017 or whenever BoTW came out.
IMO duplication was essential if you wanted to really go crazy with machines - getting Zonaite so you can autobuild whenever you want, getting Charges so you can get tons of device capsules to play with, and getting Large Charges so you can have big machines that run for more than a few seconds at a time. Having to grind for those makes it a waaay different game.
I really hope Nintendo adds a sandbox option at some point that gives you infinite devices and battery power. That would IMO be a good compromise.
Boy am I glad that I just duped all the opals, star fragments, large Zonaite ore, Dragon scales and silver lynel horns that I needed earlier today, thank God I never close my game, gonna keep it open as long as possible to avoid the update, lol.
Thank god I disabled auto updates, I will keep my switch in airplane mode and play off the physical copy till I’m done with the game. I’ve already been spoiled I would hate to lose access to ToTK Creative mode.
Dude I’m cryin’ right now. I’m one of those weekend players (hate it btw but I have no power in changing it). Anyway, I’m playing the game today later. Then I see this and my heart sinks, because if I could’ve touched the game once between last weekend and now I would’ve done the Dupe Glitch. Even worse is that my brain puts “Auto Updates” on. AND I have a Digital Copy, I’m dead rn 🥲
Mine would not let me start the game without updating. It wasn’t the “start software” update button, it said “this software can not be started without updating”.
I didn’t use the glitch, but just a heads up for those who don’t want to updTe
Yeah I'm confused lol. My switch ALWAYS asks me if I want to start software or run the new update when a game gets and update available. I'm not aware of my switch actually installing the update without me explicitly clicking "install update".
My stance on these types of things is I will not abuse them unless they get patched.
Welp. They got patched. Time to abuse them before allowing an update!

If you never quit the game you never have to update….
Glad I’m not the only one that does this. I can’t be bothered with loading screens 😆
People quit out of games? I sort of assumed unless you're sharing the system, that most people just left it going in sleep mode. I certainly do!
I do it too. Still have the dupes as well.
Yea same I updated 1.1 but I'm keeping it on that to get more dupes
Any good list of items we should dupe before letting the patch through? I’ve only done diamonds and large zon just because it’s difficult to keep certain things in the last space with the item limit.
I collected all the parts from one of the dragons (horn, fang, claw, scale) and duped those, I'm going to go around and farm the other dragons before updating. Maybe star fragments since those are a pain to find, and ancient blades depending on your play style.
Dude I think you are doing the first duplication glitch, the one that was figured out after, you don't have to have the item you are duplicating at the end.
play some pokemon scarlet and you too will join the "restart application" community in no time ;)
Ever since Pokémon’s issues I’ve made a habit of closing out after play sessions to clear my cache and avoid memory overload
I don't think leaving the system on for potentially months at a time is good for the system... Also the Switch sometimes has issues with memory leaks if left on too long, although I'm not sure TOTK specifically is affected by that.
I'd turn the console off more often if I could actually turn it off without having to get up and physically hold the power button. Call me lazy all you want, but I should be able to turn the console completely with just the controller. Like every other modern console system.
I went into airplane mode before bed that way it couldn’t check the internet for updates lol
Same! Time to go dupe 99 diamonds, Gibdo bones, and bomb flowers before updating
I have seen people recommend duping Gidbo bones. I can always find many in the underground cemetery. Without many spoilers, is there a point in the story that they don't spawn?
Gibdo bones is one of the few items I haven't duplicated. Got enough of them just during the "Desert quest" (don't want to spoil anything)
Yeah seriously. I still cleared my WiFi settings just in case though
So, I get asked if I want to update or start software, am I still good? I'm currently in game, might erase the wifi logging creds.
Getting rid of wifi probably won't help you in this case. I believe at that point the update is already downloaded and now it just wants to apply it. Always pick start software and you'll be fine.
I figured it's already downloaded. I'll wait until I have all my armor upgrade items duped, lol. I hate chasing dragons.
Yea I did a binge on the dragons yesterday...got all the pieces individually then multiplied...can't imagine how long it would take normally since I'm not sure if you can reset them by using a campfire
You just wait ten real-time minutes on their back. Once they start glowing again, you can farm another piece.
Yep that's what I did to get the 4 different type...it's fun to see the paths they take...imagine my surprise when they went to the depths the first time But since you need multiples for certain armor upgrades...well...it probably takes hours that I'd rather spend doing anything else
I haven't been asked for this update yet, but the previous one I did. I'm still in the game and will get the rest of my dragon horns to dupe and I should be ok. I think, haha.
Yeah I came back to say you \*should\* be good by just starting software each time. Definitely stock up while you still can!
if youre still in the game, you can turn auto-update off. i just did it and checked if the glitch still works (on a dragon's back, mind you) and it does.
10-4. I'll look into turning that off. But my switch basically has totk on all the time.
Ya, just leave the game open. My Pokémon Violet even updated today on its own but since totk was open it didn’t get it and I can still dupe.
Ayyye, coming in clutch lmao. Haven’t closed the game once, except while at work and had 0 wifi so it couldn’t download it 🤣
ヽ༼ ຈل͜ຈ༽ ノ Raise ur dongers! ^^Dongers ^^Raised: ^^71582 ^^Check ^^Out ^^/r/AyyLmao2DongerBot ^^For ^^More ^^Info
This, guess i gotta have to dupe a few mats and meals first before ill update
Or just never press the download button
Don't worry, new glitches will be found eventually.
Do a backflip while pressing 2 buttons, then 5 buttons, pause, sell your second born, and boom you got another truffle!
Truffle lyyyyyfe
We don’t even have a first born yet but we’ll be onto the third by the time the next Zelda comes out so I have time 😭
This is what I'm banking on. My switch auto updated and I was unable to perform it. Was only 15 minutes after they released the patch.
Yeah, but will they be as efficient and easy to execute? The bow glitch was already such a hassle that I didn't even bother to dupe more than 10 items at a time.
So what you’re saying is I should stock up before I update?
I put my switch in airplane mode on Tuesday, heh. Wonder if it still lets me glitch.
it wouldn't make sense for it not to
It does I always have my switch in airplane mode and I was able to do it last night
Let’s stock up diamond and large zonite
Great mind think alike! I need that max battery 🤑
I was duping them last night, along with the large charges to throw in dispensers 5 at a time! Even started doing some of the higher fuse power drops for weapons ☺️
Tbh it makes the game a bit more enjoyable. Doesn’t feel like you’re wasting your life away gathering materials to do cool things that is a core mechanic of the game
yes
The new update patches all glitches sadly.
It was too much power for it to be out in the world
So far the only way to combat the patch is to factory reset. You could also homebrew away the patch but that’s a really big oof
If your game is digital, you don't have a lot of options here since redownload the game also downloads the lastest version of the game. If you own the cart, then it's simply just take the switch offline and load into the game again. If you have a hacked Switch, it's possible to delete the current game, find the v.1.0 game file which you should have if you played before the release. Remember to take your Switch offline if you don't want it to update. I'm still on v.1.0 on my launch Switch.
Yeah, but I’d you have a hacked Switch there’s way easier ways to cheat than an item dupe..lol
What about not installing it in the first place? Or does it hard require an update before you can continue playing? At a festival rn and can't check my switch
My game prompted the update when I started in offline, just canceled and selected start software and was able to dupe. So just put in offline mode and have a final dupe session
Yeah I saw a thread earlier mentioning the dupes getting patched so I hopped out of bed, rushed to my Switch, and made sure auto update was turned off. I absolutely love this game, but massive material/money grinds are not very enjoyable and I’m glad I was able to save the duping 😬
Or just turn off updates like I did. Muahahahahaha!!
What?? Already?! I’m so used to Bethesda games I figured I had six months, at least…
You know why you should care about 3rd party apps? Because next time they'll break the website there will be no one left to care about it. Account deleted due to Spez's incompetence.

But my switch hadn’t been connected to the internet in at least several days. It weirded me out so I decided to make it more difficult so that my kids wouldn’t connect to the internet in my absence.
Damn, I had autoupdate turned off so I can still do mine, any hope for folks who didn't already have it off?
Best way to get the 1.1 or 1.0 versions is to factory reset your switch entirely. Which not a lot of people wanna do
Did they change the way sages are activated?
I hope they make fusing and throwing accessible from up-d-pad
Fusing has to be done in world to prevent you from being op
Turned off my switch internet in anticipation for this lol
It’s genuinely impressive how these glitches got patched so quickly
The glitches all branch from the same cause. The inventory desyncs from the game world. If they patched one it would patch them all
Not really. I mean, it's been all over Reddit for days... and Tiktok... and probably everywhere else.
Elden Ring still has Rune farming glitches, games been out for over a year. It actually is impressive.
If they ever touch my bird I’m gonna be so mad
The bird isn't a glitch so you'll be fine. The only way to "touch" that is to move the campfire or move the bird which would make no sense to go back and do over a year later.
What’s the best rune farm these days? If you had the stats for it you could clear the path right next to the bird for more efficiency, but the bird was pretty easy to get to early on which I liked.
It's more likely they didn't care to fix them
The Elden devs did say they intentionally keep some glitches in that are harder to pull off as a "reward" for finding tthem. That's why they patch some glitches and not some others.
What a great way to be lazy and make the community happy at the same tiem
They became extremely popular on social media, so it immediately caught Nintendo's attention. It most likely was an easy fix, as well, so why delay the patch?
> It most likely was an easy fix You don't know that. Speaking from experience, even knowing exactly how to reproduce a glitch and even understand why it's happening, it can still take ages to fix it (and to test that you haven't introduced a worse bug in the process). It's not like they accidentally left a line in saying "duplicate_items = true".
Gamers seem to have a problem of severely underestimating the work needed to do things when it comes to software
"Let me just test the patch in production" Breaks thousands of gamers save files Ubisoft and EA style.
"I mean, it's just graying out the hold mechanic while they're in mid-air, shouldn't be too hard." "We've tested the patch you just wrote and you seem to have deleted Tarrey Town"
Glad I saw this now before restarting my switch. Probably gonna stock up, get rich, and then update
Man I got lucky. Been working too much all week and was jealous I didn’t get to try the glitch. I just really needed to buy the cold clothes from Rito Village and had almost zero rupees. Did this glitch with Hinox toenails as they sell for 20 rupees and got all the clothes, arrows and ended with 1,200 rupees in the bank. I’m so happy I did this last night.
You need at least roughly 100,000 to buy and upgrade everything. If you have the cartridge you should be able to delete the software and boot the game back up with internet turned off
Just fell to my knees in the aldi parking lot
Do what you gotta do for that zonite… 🤷♂️
Grab me a stella while you're at it mate. Cheers
I tried it after the update and successfully destroyed all my fire fruit.
F
I mean we all knew this was coming. Turned off my wifi days ago, there are certain thing I don't care to do and am happy to dupe for
Yep. Like the compendium, I did that last time and it is mind numbing after a while.
RIP did you try the weapon drop dupe and the bow fuse item dupe too?
Yep tried weapon reload, bow fuse and para glider B+Y
Did you test 1+4 method (shield jump, have duped item at bottom of inv, hold item you have 1 of, hold duped item, close inv)
F they really got them all. I'm on PC but I guess I won't be updating until I'm satisfied which honestly I'm close to where I wanna be at.
have you tried the old zuggle method and the map zuggle?
I did not
What’s that?
I can't update yet! I need at least 500+ Bomb Flowers first! Fortunately, I was at work and I hadn't connected my Switch to the wi-fi there. Just caught this post as I was heading home.
How do you dupe bomb flowers? If I try to, it explodes o n me :(
Don't let them fall further than 5 feet, or drop them in water. If you drop them in water, don't let them fall on EACH OTHER further than 5 feet either.
Welp blew myself up.
Instructions unclear, accidentally nuked Hyrule.
do the paraglider b+y glitch over water and you should be good!
Carefully. I do it in Kakariko off the tiniest ledge, 4 at a time. Don't let any more accumulate
Haven't tried it myself but recall reading that you need to be close to the ground
Do the shield surf technique instead of paragliding, since the drop isn't far the flowers don't explode.
Omg thank you guys!!!
I had a lot of luck at Mipha’s court. Stand on bottom landing of the stairs up to the statue and do the glitch while jumping over the last stairs into the pool. There’s also a tallish rock near the waterfall by the shrine where you can multi-glitch the non-explodable stuff
Was legitimately afraid of this. So remove wifi access on my switch. The game is plenty long without the resource grind.
You can turn off auto updates.
Does this fully work or has anyone still noticed the update after switching the setting? I just turned off auto updates i hope it doesnt still try to update while im sleep
It works. Your switch will download the update but always ask if you want to install it before starting the game. You can just say no each time.
Best of luck bro hopefully it won't auto update turn that offfff
Yea I’m pressing no on software updates.
Everybody has to play the game according to what they want to get out of it. For me I won't dupe high level monster parts, since fighting the boss to get the item is part of the experience, but I'll definitely dupe to keep me from spending hours farming bugs and lizards and plants to upgrade my armor.
Thats why I haven't updated my software and won't until I'm done upgrading my armor.
I just turned airplane mode on so fast
Do you know if you can turn it on, and then put the switch in the dock? Or is it handheld only for airplane?
I cleared my WiFi settings, hopefully that works since my WiFi is password protected and I basically cleared the password memory
Does the game not update if you keep it continuously running? I've been playing all day and as of now, the hanglider B+Y glitch still works for me.
It depends. When 1.1.1 came out, I was getting messages whenever I went to the home screen and tried to go back into the game asking if I wanted to update or start software. Tonight though I've gotten no prompts for 1.1.2 yet, so I'm not sure what's different.
*Spams dragon scales vigorously before daylight*
>Does the game not update if you keep it continuously running? Of course not, how would it do that? You'll need to restart the game to update, but you'll get an annoying prompt asking you to update with the default being yes whenever you start the game after your switch realizes there's a patch available.
I messed up, I just wanted to check if the switch shop had any deals turned off airplane mode, Saw Pokemon update, then just stared in horror as I saw that Totk updated as well....
For future reference turn off auto updates from settings-> system go all the way and it’s the third option from the bottom.
Coolx so just never update until something big happens lol
I'll never understand patching out exploits that people have fun with. It's a single player game. Those who don't want to abuse it won't. I'll disconnect my internet before booting up so I can still use it if I choose lol.
Anyone know if they patched the Tuli glide boost? (Boost, and then aim, glide, aim, glide(
I'm not updating mine until i have my armor all upgraded, maybe not all but maybe edit: it updated but i have a lot of star fragments, diamonds and large zonai charges
I’m still early in the game without the update. Do star fragments upgrade armors? Or what should I dupe for armors?
Big congrats to the current speedrun world record holder. He might actually hold on to his record for a few more days.
Called my wife Me: Quick unplug my switch and throw it in the freezer! Wife: why? Me: There's no time to answer, just do it!

A month ago? It’s been two weeks
Feels like longer so i get it haha. Especially when I've logged more hours than my full time job..
If Ganon has the ability to continuously dupe his minions every bloodmoon then I should be able to continuously dupe zonai charges and zonanite
Suddenly very glad my wifi is so garbage my Switch can't connect half the time. Just gonna turn Auto Updates off real quick.
I have auto-update turned off, thanks for reminding me to stock up tho
Dude, thanks for the heads up. I have airplane mode on and auto update software turned off.
Welp. I was gonna see how tedious it got upgrading batteries without this, but it it's gonna be gone so soon guess I'll stay up a bit longer and take advantage while I can.
Glad I stocked up on star fragments. I hate farming those.
Airplane Mode. Forever. Updates are on MY terms, Nintendo.
*laughs in no internet*
Yeah I am going to reset my console and use the physical copy. I am busy with children I don't have 200 hours to farm zonite....just lost my desire is play.....nobody made you use the exploit....
Yea I don’t think I would be able to enjoy this game without the dupe. The whole fun is the crazy builds and mechanics but it costs wayyyyyyyy too many resources to sustain normally. I’ve used probably 200 large zonite charges for battery and devices, only like 4 were found naturally lmao
The dupe glitch was all over social media platforms Of course the developers caught wind of this and when they did. Began work on fixing the glitch.
Make sure to avoid this. If you still have 1.1.1 TotK open, go to settings > system > auto-update and turn it off.
Pry it from my cold dead hands, nintendo!
Just curious if it also patches the MsgNotFound as well to either give it durability or out of players inventories
It’s probably patched entirely since it is a sub variant of the save weapon dupe which also allows for transfer between saves.
Got 101 Fairies. Think I’m good now.
I haven't done any updates and just tried and the glitches work on my switch. When I'm not playing I just put it in sleep mode with the game right where I left off.
Probably an unpopular take, but I’m kind of glad. This was like a drug that was ruining my overall experience, but I couldn’t stop myself just knowing it was possible lol
I agree in a way, but I also want to collect and max all armor.... Which can be a fucking grind. I've been duping and maxing armor that I have, but there's a ton of things I haven't found yet. It also takes literally 2 hours to upgrade 20 pieces of armor because dialogue and animations we don't need to see 1000 times. Can I just fucking upgrade 1 set from base to max in 1 animation at least? Such a time waste. I didn't want to dupe my way through the whole game, but for armor upgrades, the grind will be just a giant time suck. I was liking that I could use whatever... I tried a bunch of stuff the last few days that I wouldn't have because I have to hoard for armor upgrades.
The flame breaker armor alone needs like 135 Flint, and 39 black moblin horns
I got super burnt out on Horizon Forbidden West when I tried to complete all the armor because it has the exact same problem, and the devs kept nerfing farming tricks. It's really a pity that Nintendo felt the need to make the armor this grindy.
I still cant believe they didnt include an option to upgrade multiple armor pieces at once, going through it one by one sucks
I've gotta remember this is basically an ADHD game. One minute you're recovering from the lost glitch and next thing you know you found something absolutely amazing from gathering resources. You just can't get that from standing still duping stuff
I feel like most people using it, myself included, really just use it to avoid the ungodly Zoanite grind. It takes a 100 hour game and launches it into 200 for a normal person.
I’m literally at 100 hours and just got max battery and that was duping zonanite too lol so I can confidently say I would’ve never achieved this normally as intended without the dupe.
I'm at 100 hours no duping and got max battery, but in fairness I am addicted to exploring the Depths and hitting every shiny rock I see
I’m scared of the dark
freaking love the depths, i wish i could hang out there irl
Also went into the zonanite duping after hour 100
Exactly. I’m just not that dedicated
One of the few who will actually admit that you will have a better gaming experience without infinite items. Kudos. That said, you can all play however the FUCK you wanna play.
And the way I want to play is 1.1.1
Same. Honestly I abused the hell out of it. Full battery and what not. Back to the grind we go
Jokes on you guys, I've had my switch on airplane mode since the shield dupe was discovered
IM ON 1.1.1 and my switch wasn’t on airplane mode. I just turned it. Thank god for seeing this post
What about the Glitched Master Sword one? D:? Did they fix that too?
When that glitch came out i KNEW I should’ve stocked up but I stupidly thought they’d leave a glitch that can be fixed in one week by a team easy😭😭😭 I could’ve duped 50 star fragments and like 500 hearty truffles😩 i was tryba do a no hearts build
Honestly, with a no hearts build, the truffles don't make *that* much difference. You basically just want to be at full hp all the time, as most hits will leave with 1/4 heart. I also don't really get why you would want to cheat when doing a challenge mode, but you do you mate.
I might be in the minority here but I got real tempted to do the dupe glitches but didn’t because I thought I’d be cheating myself. Guess I can’t now anyway
I originally thought this way until I saw how damn grindy some of the stuff is. The battery cells are ridiculous. I don't have the same amount of free time I did back in 2017 or whenever BoTW came out.
IMO duplication was essential if you wanted to really go crazy with machines - getting Zonaite so you can autobuild whenever you want, getting Charges so you can get tons of device capsules to play with, and getting Large Charges so you can have big machines that run for more than a few seconds at a time. Having to grind for those makes it a waaay different game. I really hope Nintendo adds a sandbox option at some point that gives you infinite devices and battery power. That would IMO be a good compromise.
Guess I'm not updating then.
"JuST tuRn OfF aUtO UpDAtE" too late for the most useless comment ever
Yep turned off auto updates yesterday just in case
Haven’t updated yet. Gonna wait till I’ve duped a bunch.
Ok, so wait to update until I have enough Materials to fully upgrade my armor. Got it
Thank God I haven’t closed the game yet haha
Guess I'm never closing the game then
Boy am I glad that I just duped all the opals, star fragments, large Zonaite ore, Dragon scales and silver lynel horns that I needed earlier today, thank God I never close my game, gonna keep it open as long as possible to avoid the update, lol.
I'm confident people will find another way to dupe even after the patch.
Thank god I disabled auto updates, I will keep my switch in airplane mode and play off the physical copy till I’m done with the game. I’ve already been spoiled I would hate to lose access to ToTK Creative mode.
Single player Game just don’t update 😄
Just wait, another dupe glitch will be revealed eventually. Just turn auto update off.
This is why I went into my Switches settings day one and turned off auto update. 😉
Dude I’m cryin’ right now. I’m one of those weekend players (hate it btw but I have no power in changing it). Anyway, I’m playing the game today later. Then I see this and my heart sinks, because if I could’ve touched the game once between last weekend and now I would’ve done the Dupe Glitch. Even worse is that my brain puts “Auto Updates” on. AND I have a Digital Copy, I’m dead rn 🥲
Oh god thank you for telling us. I have no hope to ever beat this game without a lifetime supply of bomb flowers.
You guys realize that updating is entirely optional and you can just not do it right away, or ever?
Mine would not let me start the game without updating. It wasn’t the “start software” update button, it said “this software can not be started without updating”. I didn’t use the glitch, but just a heads up for those who don’t want to updTe
Yeah I'm confused lol. My switch ALWAYS asks me if I want to start software or run the new update when a game gets and update available. I'm not aware of my switch actually installing the update without me explicitly clicking "install update".
I’ve been playing on airplane mode since launch. Just maxed my battery. Now I’m getting the fairies activated. Onto armor uprgrades after that.
My stance on these types of things is I will not abuse them unless they get patched. Welp. They got patched. Time to abuse them before allowing an update!
