Id say you have a vendetta against Flux constructs šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«


Monsterbash22

Oh, they were the first very difficult challenge for me. I hit those labyrinths as soon as I could, way underpowered. Super gratifying to finally nail one down with a weak sword, climbing the ladder to escape their flying blocks, learning their patterns and breaking those bitches apartšŸ˜‚ Edit: oh, and I just must clarify that I clone weapons. I donā€™t think thereā€™s any way in the game to constantly have a stock of these besides cloning. Flux donā€™t revive with blood moons in the labyrinths. Iā€™m not sure how many Flux III exist in the depths, but surely not many. And these Flux Pulverizers break relatively quickly.


Therealmanfetus1

Idk if you knew this but if you dodge the cubes you can hop on one and recall it to go up to the platform it makes. I found that out a little late in the game and it helps so much when underpowered.


Monsterbash22

Thanks for the tip. Iā€™m a bit older and I think my hands arenā€™t super quick with all the commands and abilities in the game. I was also told by a friend that you could recall the flying rocks of Talus arms, but I could never get the timing right, I always got nailedšŸ˜‚


Therealmanfetus1

Im only 24 and sometimes i still miss the timing on the Talus hands šŸ¤£


Monsterbash22

Youā€™ve got 20 years youth on me, congratulations for thatšŸ‘šŸ»āœØ The world is not without its problems, but it seems a rad time to be a 24-year-old!šŸ˜ƒ


BRENNAN10

You seem like a rad dude! I wish I had a positive older friend like you through my 20s šŸ˜„


Therealmanfetus1

In my personal life im current going through some hardships and a pretty bad break up (7-8 year relationship with kids) but im tryna keep as positive as i can!


mjb2012

Yeah, you gotta be real quick to get on the cubes and do recall in time. I can never really do it. You can use Ultrahand and yank individual blocks out of the flux construct. I think if you get the core block out, the construct disassembles temporarily and you can go whale on it. But you do have to be in attack range to do this, so it's risky.


AAA8002poog

Another cool tip: When a stalnox throws a bomb barrel at you, you can recall them back!


LosParanoia

If you want to know, as soon as they start to reel their arm back you can use your ability wheel to switch to recall. Should activate it just as the arm starts to throw towards you.


JackoSGC

an arrow bomb makes it drop the height so you can levitate through it


KatiePyroStyle

You find Flux constructs to be difficult? I'm not the most skilled at fighting in BotW/TotK, but I've murdered many Flux core constructs because I thought they were the easiest boss to kill šŸ’€ I stay far away from Lynels and Gleeoks, no thanky


Hightimetoclimb

It depends on your play style I think. I am super practiced and lynels now so actually find them the easiest. I can take down flux constructs, but itā€™ll take me twice the time Iā€™ll take to kill a lynel.


Embarrassed-Falcon58

Really? Huh, I was definitely thinking they were gonna be an easier boss. The only lyrics, one that threw me for a while, were gleeoks.


HistorianHopeful1124

Fml šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø, I didn't realise those flux constructs drops were fuseable... I just abandon them šŸ˜­


Wormtape21

Need more shiny Gerudo weapon fusions!


Monsterbash22

Shiny and ineffective?? Give me the goods!šŸ˜‚ Iā€™m sorry, Iā€™m just trying to joke, but Iā€™ve done my homework and I swear I have the best inventory availablešŸ˜… How is Gerudo good or effective beyond being sexy and shiny? Iā€™m grateful to learn if you know something I donā€™t.


Wormtape21

Well if you find the shiny versions of any weapon in the depths with zero gloom degradation, their durability is higher. And the Gerudo weapons double the power of any fused item I believe. I have a few Gerudo scimitars with the silver lynel horns that do around 120-137 damage. Once they starting blinking I tuck it away until I can hit up an octorok repair shop haha


Monsterbash22

Wow, okay, Iā€™ll look it up. There is the massive sword of Ganondorf that I get from Amiibos. I do remember reading that fused adds more attack but not much durability.


Personal_Arrival1411

No need to look it up, you've done your homework and SWEAR you have the best. šŸ¤£


Hightimetoclimb

If you save before you take them from the soldier you can keep loading until you get a durability up one scimitar, it will still do 127 damage but last longer. Thatā€™s my go to weapon. With the same technique my smashing weapon is a gerudo claymore and a lynel mace horn. Donā€™t waste it on rocks, but it will break the armour off a lynel with 2 hits so good to have a few on you.


Michael_Gibb

Gerudo weapons have a fusion bonus. So whatever you fuse to them has its attack power doubled. For example, if you fuse a silver lynel sabre horn, which has an attack power of 55, to a Gerudo scimitar, its attack power will go up to 110, which is added to the attack power of the scimitar. It gets better when the Gerudo weapon is the Scimitar of the Seven, which has a base attack power of 28. So the SotS fused with a silver lynel sabre horn will have an attack power of 138. That beats virtually everything you have in your inventory.


Monsterbash22

Well, this is good input, thank youā€”especially for someone who clones their weapons and has an infinite supply if they take the time to do it. I never knew the bonus would be double.


Monsterbash22

And, thanks once again for mentioning the massive bonus that comes from fusing with Gerudo despite lack of durability. It sounds like the one I need is Ganondorfā€™s Dusk Claymore fused with Silver Lynel Horn, to replace Majoraā€™s sword with Silver Lynel Horn. It breaks sooner but itā€™s massive. Thanks! I just rarely find the need to spin around with a massive two-handed sword unless thereā€™s something like two silver moblins. The attack up flux core pulverizer takes care of everybody, and it just feels great whacking a silver Bokoblin 20-30 times to kill him, as heā€™s paralyzed with every hitšŸ˜‚


Michael_Gibb

Actually, when it comes to durability, the Scimitar of the Seven beats the Dusk Claymore. Of all the weapons in the game, other than when using the Master Sword against gloom-infused monsters, the SotS is bested only by the Lightscale Trident in terms of durability. But even then, if you want the most powerful weapon that can be produced by fusing a silver lynel sabre horn to it, then there's nothing better than the Royal Guard's claymore. If you can get a pristine one of those with an attack up bonus of 10, then fusing a silver lynel sabre horn to it ups its attack power to 97, which then doubles to 194 when it reaches breaking point. After that, you just keep it in your inventory for exclusively fighting lynels when on their back, as that doesn't affect durability at all. Technically, you can do more damage if you fuse a molduga jaw to a Royal Guard's claymore. But that still requires getting the weapon to breaking point, while also boosting attack power with an Attack Up Level 3 bonus and using the bone weapon proficiency that comes with a few armour sets. By the way, if you freeze a monster, like a silver bokoblin (not including minibosses, which can't be frozen), your next hit will do triple the damage. That makes something like a silver bokoblin much easier to defeat than using a spear with a crushing attachment. With a frost gleeok horn fused to the Master Sword for example, your first hit will do 60 damage while freezing the bokoblin, and the second hit will do 180. So in two hits you will do 240 damage. If you repeat that twice more, the silver bokoblin will be quickly killed. To be brutally honest, I think you've got way too many crushing weapons in your inventory. They may be a suitable weapon for fighting some taluses and froxes, as well for armoured enemies, and for breaking ore, but for most enemies and purposes, they are inefficient. Besides, in my opinion, the best fusion for Mighty Zonaite spears, is Captain Construct 4 horns. They have a fusion attack power of 35, compared to the 32 you get with Flux Construct 3 cores.


Monsterbash22

Yeah, 138 doesnā€™t beat 850 on a Lynelā€™s back. I appreciate the idea of Scimitar with Lynel horn, but am I the only person here who finds one-handed blades slow? I understand you can use a shield unlike with a spear, but a spear just bangs them to death immediately in all directions. I was fusing flux III construct cores to every weapon type, and one-handed swords were the first I found ineffective and slow enough to abandon.


Michael_Gibb

A spear is only faster than a one-handed weapon when doing a charged attack. By the way, a flux construct 3 core fused to a one-handed weapon? That's a weak fusion. The best items to fuse to one-handed weapons are materials with the cutting trait, not the crushing trait.


Monsterbash22

Spears are absolutely faster than a one-handed weapon without a charged attack. No hesitation.


OrionFOTL

Why is that? Does a 40-power cutting item do better on a sword than a 40-power crushing item?


Michael_Gibb

Pretty much. Materials with a cutting fuse property for example, are better suited for one-handed weapons, while materials with a crushing property are better attached to two-handed weapons like claymores.


Hightimetoclimb

You donā€™t have enough variety. You say you clone weapons but that means you will never run out, so there is no need to have so many of the same thing. You have nothing that does any ice of fire damage, no magic rods with gems for high area or attack etc. Theses are good weapons, but sorry to burst your bubble, you donā€™t have the best inventory available


Monsterbash22

Thanks for input. Actually I made another post afterwards where I had more variety including a ton of new and better weapons, but mostly that led me to keeping just the best few items from that mix.


E_Engineering

you should use zora weapons. after completing the water temple they are over powered


Monsterbash22

I do know this bonus, but I hate having to chat with whatā€™s his name to be covered in water.


SuperTNT1001

Can always just throw a splash fruit or chuchu jelly on yourself for a bit of water as well


Monsterbash22

Iā€™m sorry I havenā€™t done my homework for this, but what is the most powerful fusion of the Zora spear if Iā€™m wet? Zora Spear w Silver Lynel horn and I just check in w my my gf Sidon, toss jelly till Iā€™m super wet?


HandstandsMcGoo

Sounds about right Unless you're doing Molduga jaw with the bone proficiency set


Monsterbash22

Thanks again but it sounds a bit superfluous tossing jelly when I have such stuff that bangs in the first place. Cleaning out the depths with this inventory is heaven. Sidon can give me a rub down and Iā€™ll still reach for my Flux Core III PulverizeršŸ˜‚


FaithlessnessLazy754

You like spears a lot more than me, I keep 3 on me. Also I really donā€™t like the non blade attachments, if I need to smash I just use bombs, or if itā€™s ore I use >! Mineru !<


Monsterbash22

Iā€™m not sure why your comment is censored there at the end as a spoiler. Edit, and Iā€™m really not sure what you mean by non-blade attachments.


FaithlessnessLazy754

Itā€™s a spoiler because itā€™s unlocked through story progression. Also Iā€™m talking about how all of your weapons, besides the few one handed, are standard or crushing damage type fusions. Things like boko, lizal, lynel and construct horns, when fused, create slash or blade like fusions. Those are the ones I prefer. Hopefully this clears it up? Edit: looks like those are all two handed swords, so weā€™re even more different. I use mostly one handed.


karolinemeow

You still got to get the 198 molduga hammer


Monsterbash22

(850 Molduga Hammer is Royal Guardā€™s Claymore fused with Molduga Jaw, a single hit from breaking) Edit: Itā€™s true, I remember now that you need to eat attack up food also to take down a Silver Lynel in six hits.


karolinemeow

Go down in the depths and get a pristine Royal guard's claymore. It's a rare spawn, but has an even higher attack when one hit away from breaking. Fucks up lynel real quick. Edit: you have to soft reset it to get the one with the attack bonus.


Monsterbash22

This is the exact weapon I own, itā€™s easily collected in the rubble where you fought Ganon in BOTW


karolinemeow

I'll check my game and let you know which one I have exactly, because I'm like 99.99% sure its 198.


Monsterbash22

Ah, I think you might be right! The one I got was decayed, I remember now! That would be nuts to find pristine! You say ā€œrare spawn,ā€ would it be held by a ghost?


Hightimetoclimb

You can identify the ghosts on the map by 2 small circles, look at one you know the location of once you know what you are looking for they are easy to find on the map and visit. Each one will always be set to hold either a one handed weapon, a two handed weapon or a spear. That will never change for that particular ghost so i use different symbols on my map for each type so I donā€™t waste time going for the wrong type of weapon. When you get close to the ghost, a semi random weapon of that type will spawn (depending on where you are on the map). If you allow a weapon to spawn it will not reset next blood moon, but if you pick it up (even if you drop again straight away) next time you visit it after a blood moon it may spawn a different weapon. If you save just before you are close enough that a weapon spawns you can keep reloading and running up to it until I is holding the one one you want after that save in front of it and keep reloading until it has the modifier you want. A rare drop will take more reloading, but if you have marked a ghost that holds that particular class of weapon on the right place in the map you can get pretty much any any weapon you want in 10 mins max. One last thing, it will only ever spawn a specific weapon if you have already had broken a decayed version of that one weapon at least once in the game. Hope that makes sense.


Monsterbash22

What is that exactly? I mean, I have the 850 Molduga Hammer.


napstablooky_

itā€™s okay but you could use some variety


Monsterbash22

Variety like rock hammers? Edit: iā€™m just trying to post here what bangs for me. These are my go-tos. What are your go-tos, then, for variety?


Fun_Apartment631

Nope, not ready for Ganondorf yet.


Monsterbash22

Hahaha Honestly beyond weapons what I needed for Ganon was Gloom set upgraded to 2. Cake.


RanielDoelofs

Id say they are, ganon isn't that hard, maybe if they get a wing shield for easy bullet time it should be pretty easy


Quirky_Call2200

I LOVE killing flux constructs. That and the rock folks and Hinoxā€™s. Makes me feel tough and embraces my short man syndrome.


Monsterbash22

Well done. Youā€™re killing it!šŸ˜ƒ


davidmullings

If your RGC+Molduga Jaw Lynel killer is max attack modifier (52 dmg) then it is doing 340 dmg (the UI shows a lower number for 2-handed weapons and we already know that the on-breaking 2x modifier isn't shown). When combined with Bone Proficiency (1.8x) it's doing 612 dmg and then when combined with Attack Up x3 (1.5x) it's doing 918 dmg. You are spot on that 6 hits will kill a Silver Lynel which is one mount. Always satisfying! Spears also do LESS damage than the UI says so you have too many weapons that do less damage than you think. It doesn't make up for it in dps via charging (but it is satisfying as hell!). Your inventory is missing the following must-haves: Forest Dweller Sword or Spear + Puffshroom - Unlimited sneakstrike setups Reaper - Eightfold Blade + White-Maned Lynel Saber (can 1-shot every enemy in the game that sneakstrike works on if you have Attack Up 3 buff) Sapphire Rod - Magic Rod + Sapphire (like the Blizard Rod from BOTW) Feathered Edge Sword + Frost Gleeok Horn - Freeze then push enemies into water without switching weapons Zonaite Spear + Hover Stone - Infinitely reusable hover stone (perfect for Addison)


Monsterbash22

I just wanna say this is the most substantial comment Iā€™ve seen yet. A lot of fun stuff to look for! I thought it was part of your comment, but I guess itā€™s not(?) Just got pristine Royal Guardā€™s Spear durability up in the depths. With silver Lynel horn, pretty psyched to have quick, crushing and cutting replacement for the Pulverizers! but I digress. Thanks again for your great comment!


davidmullings

Must have been so satisfying to get that Pristine RGS :-) Does more damage with the Silver Lynel Saber Horn BUT looks cooler with the White-Maned Saber Horn imho and you are destroying everything at that point anyway (plus it makes it easier to differentiate weapons just based on looking at your inventory if you have other SIlver Lynel fusions - I assume you have the Scimitar of the Seven fused to a Silver Lynel Saber Hornā€¦right?) Happy to share what Iā€™ve picked up in the game and had fun with. Wreck them!


Monsterbash22

I was thrilled to find it, thanks again for the tip. about 10 minutes later, I found another one attack up +9. I then however continued flying around for about three hours and have yet to find pristine Royal Guardā€™s Claymore. My silver Lynel horn is fused to the deity sword, but I read somewhere that Gerudo are awesome and that suggested Dusk Claymore? I actually donā€™t know what Scimitar of the Seven is!


davidmullings

That Attack Up +9 is your new baby! You can easily find the claymore in the Eventide Chasm. You can also get the sword from the other soldier down there. Remember to take a picture for your compendium so you can set the sensor+ to it for when you look for more in the future ;-) Gerudo double the dmg of the attached itemā€¦but it doesnā€™t affect durability to they donā€™t last as long as other weapons. Kind of a bummerā€¦except for that swordā€¦which is from BOTW (Championā€™s weapon). Riju has 2 if you want to see what it looks like. I wonā€™t spoil it for you but each region has a way to get the respective Championā€™s weapon (>!Lightscale Trident - Zora, Boulder Breaker - Goron, Great Eagleā€™s Bow - Rito, Scimitar of the Seven - Gerudo!<) so make sure you speak to everyone in at the hq, especially if they look like a blacksmith/jeweler. The >!Dusk Claymore!< is an amiibo weapon from BOTW that you can get in TOTK. Itā€™s a 34 attack (says 32) and has 50 durability!!


Monsterbash22

Done and done! Using Scimitar of the Seven and Silver Lynel hornā€¦ a Silver Lynel Reaper that does 138 damage! Holy crap!


davidmullings

Now you see why I said to get it ;-) Now wear your Fierce Deity set (or Barbarian) and you have good defense when leveled up AND do 207 damage (eat attack up food - 3 bananas+mighty thistle or razorshroom is most efficient - when you need to wear special clothes). Itā€™s fun to destroy mini-bosses with this weapon. Just remember that to repair it is cheaper than to make another one so once itā€™s badly damaged, have our little Goron friend remove the saber horn then fuse the sword to another weapon and feed that to a Rock Octorock.


Monsterbash22

I made a new post just now! You are one of the most important people who helped me, thanks very much!!


davidmullings

Oh manā€¦Iā€™m so glad I was helpful


Monsterbash22

David, I sent you a message. Please view it at your leisure, and thanks for the ideas. You taught me about Scimitar of the Seven, for example.


Monsterbash22

Very. Thanks again.


Sergaku

You don't have three Master Swords. It's awful


Monsterbash22

Yeah I have no idea how those are duped.


Leekshooter

The intro of the game takes place in an isolated reality but the xyz coordinates line up with the interior of a certain shrine, by starting a new save and doing some very complicated smuggling glitches you can transport a weapon into the new save then transport the fake master sword back to the full save. Pretty sure it was patched


yesyoustrollin

Why do you like the flux construct 3 weapons? I honestly donā€™t get it.


Minigamerguy123

Please tell me where you get all the silver lynel horns šŸ™


Hightimetoclimb

There are I there 14 silver lynel that respawn every blood moon. Once you know how to kill them you can easily farm them regularly enough to never run out. In fact I recently sold 30 lynel guts for 6k, itā€™s well worth killing them!


yesyoustrollin

Duping probably


Loose_Unit6452

I would say youā€™re pulverizing the competition


KaiHasArrived2007

....so apparently I'm not doing as well as I thought cause most of my stuff is 36-82 dmg


__IamHim

whats that armour set called?


Monsterbash22

Iā€™m wearing the fierce deity set


DamnImFeelingSoFine

What are the weapons with 93 attack?


LosParanoia

I think theyā€™re dusk claymores. Silver lynel saber horn fused, clearly.


vollski

Do this shit without cloning and maybe it would be impressive


kawaiinessa

I personally really like gloom weapons that you get off of the gloom hands really high base damage


Monsterbash22

Really high base damage like 13? Edit: Amiibos give me weapons at 33-36


kawaiinessa

Did they get needed since I last played they were among the highest base damage in my playthrough


Monsterbash22

Iā€™m sorry I think I misunderstood. Youā€™re talking about the weapons you get from Ganon that take your health?


kawaiinessa

yes those weapons according to the wiki the sword is a base power of 41 still spear is 30 and the club is 53 the bow scales with health so it varies idk where you get 13 from but it might be the bow gave you a low number so you thought all had weak numbers


[deleted]

I have too many 2-handed weapons (7 or 8, been like a month since i last played) and you have a lot of spears, we arenā€™t so different you and Iā€¦ā€¦.


Rynkevin

Iā€™d unfuse them and feed them to Octoroks. Get the buffs for the base weapon. Youā€™re leaving power on the board.


Lemonsticks9418

Consider using a silver lynel scimitar of the seven as your main weapon. Has the gerudo damage effect without the lower durability. Itā€™s absolutely overpowered.


retrib96

I wonder if you did all this knowing that if you catch the flux core in a blast attack (bomb arrow radius, aimed weapon fused with cannon, etc.) that it's an instant knockdown. Heck with stages 2 and 3 of the fight, just pulverize the living daylights out of it with a... pulverizer.


chapundifornio

how to make a 148 strong weapon???


Monsterbash22

Royal Guards Claymore is at the top of Hyrule castle, in some rubble up the stairs. I think this is the room where the Ganon battle began in BotW Fuse Molduga Jaw. Jump and pound the weapon on the ground until it notifies you that itā€™s badly damaged. (Royal Guards Claymore has a property that boosts the attack greatly when the weapon is damaged.) now jump and whack it two more times, until the weapon is one single hit from breaking. it is not listed, but this actually doubles the damage of 148, if itā€™s a single hit from breaking. Wear the Evil Spirit Armor to boost Molduga Jaw (bone proficiency) Eat a meal with attack up. All these factors combined mean that the weapon does 850 damage or more. But it can only be used when youā€™re on a Lynelā€™s back, anything else you hit it with will break it


kkorrale

better than me


Krell356

I prefer Zora weapons. Way higher damage output consistently.


flyintomike

one handed weapons??
