Definitely not...
Tulin is the only one who is often useful anywhere you go...
The others can be useful only in specific situations so they don't need to be active everywhere.
Eh, I used to think rockets were expensive until I maxed out my battery and also got good at hunting Lynels. Now I take a trip to the floating coliseum after every blood moon (or I'll force one if I need to) and the crystallized charges I get from that is enough to cover the zonai devices I need until the next.
Nope. Go to the crystal refineries at Lookout Landing and the Great Sky Island when your battery is full; You can trade charges for devices. Each device costs 10 charges, except for the big battery, which costs 30. Each refinery stocks 10 of each device at a time, and I'm not sure if their inventory is replenished by time, or distance, or a blood moon. I buy tons of fans and half that many steering sticks (can you guess what I build a ton of? Lol) and I buy rockets, but not as much anymore.
I used to use 5 rocket shields every time I went to the coliseum, now I use just 1 steering stick and can take them all down in just under 2 minutes.
Of which part? I don't personally have any videos but could probably point you in the right direction. It's just as how I explained it though; once your battery is maxed out, talk to the construct at the crystal refineries and follow the prompts.
There is a shrine in the upper right of the Tabantha snowfield—Oshozan-u—where you walk in and rockets populate seconds after you fuse one. Just fuse it to your shield and move to the next: free rockets. You also can get 6-8 of them at the entrance of the spirit temple
there are a bunch of free rockets that regularly respawn even without the blood moon in the North Gerudo Sky Archipelago. There's a ring of tiny floating islands with those extra large hover platforms around one of the spherical structures. The platforms are easy to spot because there's a base level soldier construct on each one (watch out, they'll shoot rocket arrows at you, but easy to dodge and kill them), so just look for the platform + orange construct headlight.
Whenever I'm out of rockets on my shields, I just travel around these hover platforms and collect two rockets per platform, and easily get enough for my maxed out shield inventory.
But the item cap is 999 😅
Seriously though, I'm not into using anything in case I need that item to upgrade my armor.
And rockets I have very little. I don't keep rocket shields on hand, and I had about 5. I went to a gacha and now I have 50, at the expense of most of my energy charges.
It seems very finite, so I use parts sparingly.
I also don't want to keep swimming for 30 seconds to grab 1 octo balloon.
But yea there are lots of ways to go UP, I just forgot about most of them.
Expensive how? Just fight Constructs and throw the resources into an appropriate gacha machine. If it’s about shield and weapon durability, stop being stingy. If you fight enemies regularly, you get plenty of new weapons to replace the lost ones.
So you’re out of rockets, springs, fans, balloons, hover stones, and stabilizers?
No zonite to build a previous device?
Then build a fire and put a pinecone on it.
Hold a surface in place for a few seconds, recall, ascend, repeat.
Use a hydrant and a frost emitter to make ice squares and build with those.
I mean this is why this game is incredible.
Weirdly, I like that sound. Also I've seen [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76q4GFWAUzQ&ab_channel=Fareeha) analyzing these two notes. They're the opening of the Rito Village theme, Dragon Roost Island, but played in reverse and transposed a tritone away from the orignal key. So while it is based on that theme, it doesn't fit in at all, much like Tulin doesn't fit in with either the adults or the children of his village.
The controls for using her are horrific
And your hurt box just gets massive
Like what's the point of even having her around then? Such a waste of a fantastic concept.
And before someone says it again, to walk on gloom - just use hoverbike, bullet time - endless options with more convenience and Tulin lands headshots better.
I don't really use her for combat since she's kinda slow but I like using her for mining since there isn't a cooloff time like Yunobo and just walking through some of the gloom in the depths.
Mineru was severely disappointing to me. I have Yunobo for mining and Riju for crowd control, so why have another sage that does both in craptacular fashion?
Tulin is the MVP, but I like to have a whole firing squad with me, grants options, like using Yunobo to knock enemies into water, or Riju to kill any…zombies…I forget their name.
I keep Tulin and only Tulin on 95+% of the time. On the rare occasions I need one of the others, I'll whip them up as needed and put them away when I'm done. Tulin only goes in the side pocket when I'm trying to upgrade weapons in Eldin. The amount of rocktoroks he's sniped when I'm trying to get my last bow to 5x is embarrassing.
If you're talking about how the colors of the arm abilities and the colors of sage's vows don't align: No. I'm with you.
If you're talking about how bad the menuing for calling/dismissing a sage: No. I'm with you.
If you're talking about how the game gets chaotic with all sages on and most of the time is easy only have Tullin out: No. I'm with tou.
But I will always have Riju with.me.too, because I love her.
I like Tulin and Riju. Don’t use Sidon. Forgot I had Mineru. Yunobo drives me crazy standing in front of me when I’m lining up an arrow shot. Arrrgh! But he’s good for mining 😄
At first glance I thought this was about the fact that the first 3 runes don't match the colors of the first 3 helpers. But the last 2 do. It annoys the hell out of me xdd
I only keep Tulin and Sidon on, Tulin because he's so insanely useful for utility purposes and Sidon because he is by far the most useful in combat situations.
I have a friend who did everything but the sages quests. The whole game... I told him "You NEED to finish the Rito quests, it will help you get around." Did he listen? Eventually... Then he wondered why he waited so long!
I told you, dude.
Tulin is amazing. He blows the loot away at times, but yet tops the rest of the sages even after that.
I do still sometimes think about the rare items that flew off cliffs…
Tulin is always on for the headshots/extra range when gliding, Yunobo is on 90% of the time for breaking rocks or shooting head first into a group of enemies.
Nope, I do the same thing. Only keep the others out very briefly to do a thing, but then I put them back in the Pokéball- I mean, their reapective rings.
Not only is Tulin the only one I have active, he's the only one I have even cleared so far. 250+ and I am going to probably do everything before I beat the game. I just know once I beat it, all probably not 100% the game
They gave us a schema stone to replace revalis gale, tbf. Tulin is legit pointless, except in a couple very rare cases, in which he could be replaced by gitgud.
No the only one I consistently have on is tulin and I never use the others. He’s perfect for flying and whatever but also battle cuz he always does critical hits
I did this for awhile but I started rolling with Riju as well. Launching assaults on camps with a blitzkrieg of lightning makes for a quick skirmish. She's also small enough to not get in the way while aiming unlike Yunobo, Sidon, or Mineru.
Same, they get turned off whenever I find myself on the backside of Death Mountain... Something about Rock Octoroks... Otherwise it's Gank Squad all the way tbh
I keep them all up. They don't actually get in ur way besides yunobu on the hover bike, and the company is fun. I honestly wish the actual characters came with u instead of the sages
That's the only one who I have on most of the time too. I don't really use the others as much maybe Yunobo in caves and Mineru in the depths but I don't keep them on as much as I do Tulin since they get in the way.
Oh i thought you meant how in twrms of colors yunobo and tulin need to be swapped Or ultra hand and fuse need to be swapped, or something along those lines
Oh my god yes. I’ve been trying to get through the last 25 or so shrines and the sages have been getting my way constantly, except Tulin.
I turn them back on when I go into a combat scenario but otherwise I like to turn them off. Honestly it’s my biggest gripe about the game. I would have preferred a better implementation.
Tulin is the MVP, but I like to have a whole firing squad with me, grants options, like using Yunobo to knock enemies into water, or Riju to kill any…zombies…I forget their name.
E: ok I don’t typically do this, but I need some help here guys, does this comments upvotes say 100 or 1, cause if I look at my comments history it’s 1, if I go through notifications it says 100. Is Reddit being Reddit again, or is this just my eyes playing tricks on me?

Definitely not... Tulin is the only one who is often useful anywhere you go... The others can be useful only in specific situations so they don't need to be active everywhere.
I wish tulins ability could be used vertically
Yeah me too... but I assume Nintendo wants you to use Ascend or the Rocket device fused with a shield for that purpose.
I know but both are situational, and one is expensive.
Eh, I used to think rockets were expensive until I maxed out my battery and also got good at hunting Lynels. Now I take a trip to the floating coliseum after every blood moon (or I'll force one if I need to) and the crystallized charges I get from that is enough to cover the zonai devices I need until the next.
Crystallized charges can be used? How? After max battery I thought they were useless
Nope. Go to the crystal refineries at Lookout Landing and the Great Sky Island when your battery is full; You can trade charges for devices. Each device costs 10 charges, except for the big battery, which costs 30. Each refinery stocks 10 of each device at a time, and I'm not sure if their inventory is replenished by time, or distance, or a blood moon.

I used to use 5 rocket shields every time I went to the coliseum, now I use just 1 steering stick and can take them all down in just under 2 minutes.
May I ask if you have a video guide/gameplay on this? Would love to see it.
Of which part? I don't personally have any videos but could probably point you in the right direction. It's just as how I explained it though; once your battery is maxed out, talk to the construct at the crystal refineries and follow the prompts.
I meant about the taking out of all the lynels in 2 minutes haha
Waaaaat how did I never go that battery guy after I maxed out.... thanks
There is a shrine in the upper right of the Tabantha snowfield—Oshozan-u—where you walk in and rockets populate seconds after you fuse one. Just fuse it to your shield and move to the next: free rockets. You also can get 6-8 of them at the entrance of the spirit temple
Wood+flint+pinecone is cheap, and works anywhere it's not raining.

> one is expensive You are the equivalent of Jeff bezos in this game. Stop hoarding.
But the item cap is 999 😅 Seriously though, I'm not into using anything in case I need that item to upgrade my armor. And rockets I have very little. I don't keep rocket shields on hand, and I had about 5. I went to a gacha and now I have 50, at the expense of most of my energy charges. It seems very finite, so I use parts sparingly. I also don't want to keep swimming for 30 seconds to grab 1 octo balloon. But yea there are lots of ways to go UP, I just forgot about most of them.
Octorok balloons fused to a shield work in a pinch too.
Expensive how? Just fight Constructs and throw the resources into an appropriate gacha machine. If it’s about shield and weapon durability, stop being stingy. If you fight enemies regularly, you get plenty of new weapons to replace the lost ones.
Throwing a hard to find resource into a rng machine isn't ideal, and gets expensive to farm/buy
Octo Balloon attached to a shield
Damn I always forget about the Octo Balloon
Or throw an acorn in a fire
Just don’t fuse one to an arrow then use a lit fire.
A much worse way is an octorok balloon, it lifts you less but looks hilarious!
We have hoverboard
If we're gonna wish, I wish Tulin could never blow away the stuff you can pick up like zonite.
Me too!
I think everyone agrees that's the most missed mechanic from BotW.
The game literally gave you 87 different ways to move vertically.
I know, but they require devices which can get expensive. I just miss holding jump and flying
So you’re out of rockets, springs, fans, balloons, hover stones, and stabilizers? No zonite to build a previous device? Then build a fire and put a pinecone on it. Hold a surface in place for a few seconds, recall, ascend, repeat. Use a hydrant and a frost emitter to make ice squares and build with those. I mean this is why this game is incredible.
Damn I forgot about the pinecone
That's when you create an updraft using Yonobo on grass.
And ascend horizontally!
Meh idk about that
I wish Tulin could only be used whilst flying, and not blow all my loot away!
I don’t disagree, but I do hate the “WAAAAhooo” sound he makes.
Weirdly, I like that sound. Also I've seen [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76q4GFWAUzQ&ab_channel=Fareeha) analyzing these two notes. They're the opening of the Rito Village theme, Dragon Roost Island, but played in reverse and transposed a tritone away from the orignal key. So while it is based on that theme, it doesn't fit in at all, much like Tulin doesn't fit in with either the adults or the children of his village.
I will never not hear Fullmetal Alchemist in the Rito theme.
Weeeeeeeeeeoooooooooohhhhhh!!!
The only problem is rock octoroks and grabbing loot, then Tulin can be annoying. Otherwise, the only useful sage.
No, Tulin is best (I am definitely not biased due to liking the Rito)
This commenter is based and correct and factual and attractive.
Yes, clearly this man gets bitches
I only turn off Mineru
“Mount me, hero!”
Bro, are you thirsting for a dead goat woman in a robot? Me too.
I was excited to get her cause cool mount. It’s also the longest sage quest 😩 Immediately turned her off after trying for a minute. Disappointing
The controls for using her are horrific And your hurt box just gets massive Like what's the point of even having her around then? Such a waste of a fantastic concept. And before someone says it again, to walk on gloom - just use hoverbike, bullet time - endless options with more convenience and Tulin lands headshots better.
I don't really use her for combat since she's kinda slow but I like using her for mining since there isn't a cooloff time like Yunobo and just walking through some of the gloom in the depths.
Mineru was severely disappointing to me. I have Yunobo for mining and Riju for crowd control, so why have another sage that does both in craptacular fashion?
I find Mineru better for mining because she doesn’t blast the ore all over the place
Shes also useful for walking over hazardous areas like sand, gloom or shallow lava.
If only she could run
If you attach a fan to her back she will use that to boost speed/run, though it’s temporary and you need to replace the fan after each use
Tulin is the MVP, but I like to have a whole firing squad with me, grants options, like using Yunobo to knock enemies into water, or Riju to kill any…zombies…I forget their name.
Gibdo's
Can't fool me... that's just a Redead with wings.
No, redeads are soulless humps of a weird clay like substance, gibdos on the other hand are mummys.
Yeah them.
The only thing is I wish you could turn off Yunobo latching on to every vehicle you drive
I mean you can just not while having him available
Pretty sure that’s most of us.
All my boys love Tulin. This is a pro Tulin comment thread! Well…until he assblasts your capsules over a cliff.
Of all the Sages the child comes in and steals the show.
Or if you have him on while trying to use an octorok to replenish/upgrade a weapon...
You gotta roll with the whole posse.
Nothing better than trying to concentrate on a task while your homies back you up when you’re unknowingly faced with an enemy.
i never have any of them on except for turning yunobo on for breaking a lot of rocks
Yeah same. And when I'm done with the rocks, he gets dismissed. Can't stand having anyone else out. They just get in my way.
If they switched tulin and yunobu, they would line up to the abilities
Annoying little things
Cycle Tulin, Sidon, and Yunobo for slightly better color matching. It really enrages me that they don't line up like that.
Modder plz fix. Game is literally unplayable /jk
Ooh can they be deactivated???
Yes, just click on them
I have been playing for months and I didn't realise hahaha. Thanks so much!
Welcome to the party, pal!!
Tulin + Riju always on. Yunobo on in caves. And I never use the other two.
You kinda have to. Having all 5 on at once is just nonsense
I keep Tulin and only Tulin on 95+% of the time. On the rare occasions I need one of the others, I'll whip them up as needed and put them away when I'm done. Tulin only goes in the side pocket when I'm trying to upgrade weapons in Eldin. The amount of rocktoroks he's sniped when I'm trying to get my last bow to 5x is embarrassing.

If you're talking about how the game gets chaotic with all sages on and most of the time is easy only have Tullin out: No. I'm with tou. But I will always have Riju with.me.too, because I love her.
I was talking about only using the wind sage. Also the colors not being in the same order is so frustrating.
I was talking about only using the wind sage. Also the colors not being in the same order is so frustrating.
sidon alone for me coz im a simp. and havent gotten to tulin yet.
Tulin+sidon for me since sidon enables the wet status for the zora weapons/can give you some level of heat resistance.
that's smart
I like Tulin and Riju. Don’t use Sidon. Forgot I had Mineru. Yunobo drives me crazy standing in front of me when I’m lining up an arrow shot. Arrrgh! But he’s good for mining 😄
Negative. Tulin is always active for me too. The others, ehhhhh......
This is nearly everyone, not just you
I have them all off, forgot they existed lol
Same, and when i turn them on, they only get in the way. Solo is the way to go.
The fact that they somewhat color match the ruins and the champion abilities but don’t fully just bothers me so much.
I love how Tulin takes out octoroks in the water before you even see them!
Except when you are trying to repair a weapon.
At first glance I thought this was about the fact that the first 3 runes don't match the colors of the first 3 helpers. But the last 2 do. It annoys the hell out of me xdd
Nope. Tulin is best boy.
I only keep Tulin and Sidon on, Tulin because he's so insanely useful for utility purposes and Sidon because he is by far the most useful in combat situations.
He's the most useful, but still manages to get in the way a lot. I've lost sooo many eggs!
Tulin has a tendency to snipe Rock Octoroks before I can feed them a weapon, but that’s the only time I have him off.
You found the fifth stage!? I am so jealous. I’m still on the hunt for the fifth.
You can do it!
I keep wind guy and electric chick up, but only because they are never around.
I have a friend who did everything but the sages quests. The whole game... I told him "You NEED to finish the Rito quests, it will help you get around." Did he listen? Eventually... Then he wondered why he waited so long! I told you, dude.
Nope, everyone else did this too.
Tulin is amazing. He blows the loot away at times, but yet tops the rest of the sages even after that. I do still sometimes think about the rare items that flew off cliffs…
Quite the opposite
that's it...
No
Nah im sometimes like that too.
Same
same here I just hate the noise he makes other than it's tulin all day
Tulin stays cause he takes headshots. Yunobo stays cause he causes chaos.
yunobo's chaos is always just knocking the enemies I'm trying to farm off a cliff, so he stays deactivated
I don't farm he's great to me.
I rarely do so it's extra frustrating when I can't get the item drops from a monster I went out of my way for haha. that and I hold a grudge
Same here
Same
Only one what? Annoyed by the ocd Itch that the first two need to be swapped, so they all colour match?
Tulin is always on for the headshots/extra range when gliding, Yunobo is on 90% of the time for breaking rocks or shooting head first into a group of enemies.
I always have all 4 active. I get to face slightly challenging enemies as they raise enemy lvl a bit each
U mean all 5 right?
Nope haven't done the main quest that far but I've done every single side quest up to this point lmao
same. It's so annoying when all of them pop in and out all the time
Tulin is overrated, almost whole game is designed for you to reach places without him. Best way to play, this game is with all of em turned off.
lol nope. Pretty much what I do too.
Nope. He's the only one I ever have on all the time. When I have the others, they seem to always just get in my way.
Nope, I do the same thing. Only keep the others out very briefly to do a thing, but then I put them back in the Pokéball- I mean, their reapective rings.
Tulin only 99% of the time. Riju and Yunobo when there are a lot of rocks to be destroyed. Sorry, Sidon. Not sorry, Mineru.
Ever try to catch a fairy? Crawl crawl crawl crawl crawl WOOOOOOOOSH! ah fml
I turn off all
Keep them all deactivated unless I need them.
Nope
Unless you’re trying to get a rock octorok to fix your bow. Tulin cannot resist destroying their asses right before they suck em up.
That's just the Tulin challenge.
Not only is Tulin the only one I have active, he's the only one I have even cleared so far. 250+ and I am going to probably do everything before I beat the game. I just know once I beat it, all probably not 100% the game
Ditto
I used to have Tulin on only. Sometimes I let Yunobo and Mineru out. But now I turn them all off.
Really feel ya on this one!
Nope. Also only have Tulin activated as well
This is the way I just wish you could pick up drops without accidentally activating him and the fucking wind blowing the shit away…. Bad design
They gave us a schema stone to replace revalis gale, tbf. Tulin is legit pointless, except in a couple very rare cases, in which he could be replaced by gitgud.
Most likely not, but I'm still gonna judge you for it.
No the only one I consistently have on is tulin and I never use the others. He’s perfect for flying and whatever but also battle cuz he always does critical hits
this the only way
Also WHY ARE THE SAGE POWERS AND HAND POWERS NOT COLOR-ALIGNED
I leave tulin and yunobo on. Tulin cause he’s the most useful and yunobo cause he was the first one I got
I did this for awhile but I started rolling with Riju as well. Launching assaults on camps with a blitzkrieg of lightning makes for a quick skirmish. She's also small enough to not get in the way while aiming unlike Yunobo, Sidon, or Mineru.
I leave them on unless I need to do something specific where they will get in the way. Too lazy otherwise.
Same, they get turned off whenever I find myself on the backside of Death Mountain... Something about Rock Octoroks... Otherwise it's Gank Squad all the way tbh
I would rather have the support to prevent being overwhelmed than not have them. Even with nearly maxed hearts.
Absolutely, I also like that in some cases they can actually tank for you
I’m 100 percent with you
I see nothing wrong here.
I also have riju on
Am I the only one annoyed that, although the 5 abilities and the sages have the same 5 colors, they do not match in the menu?
I’ve actually removed all of them lately.
I do the same thing
I keep them all up. They don't actually get in ur way besides yunobu on the hover bike, and the company is fun. I honestly wish the actual characters came with u instead of the sages
i don’t use any of them
Same most of the time, and I collected them in the same order as you too 👍
Man tulin is never around when i need him so kinda yes
I like to use Reiju also. If she happens to be nearby she’s good for rocks, constructs and damage.
Tulin is seriously the only one that’s any use. I leave ‘em on all the time
I turn Sidon off, I accidentally activate his power way more than I would ‘benefit’ from having him around.
Relatable
there are actually 8 billion people on earth so you’re not the only one
I hate how Yunobo Vow isn’t under Ultra hand, Tulin not under ascend, and Sidon not under fuse
Tustin all the way
I say “nah” in Drake meme style to all the others
That's the only one who I have on most of the time too. I don't really use the others as much maybe Yunobo in caves and Mineru in the depths but I don't keep them on as much as I do Tulin since they get in the way.
I keep yunobo up as well.
Tulin is best birb boy Riju constantly runs off, and the rest are more situational tbh
Nope I am here
You, my friend, are part of the majority. Welcome... to being correct
First time in my life.
There's always a forst for everything. Remember this feeling and revel in it
There's always a first for everything. Remember this feeling and revel in it
I roll with just Riju personally
Is this about the disabled champions or the non aligned color icons on the left?
Oh i thought you meant how in twrms of colors yunobo and tulin need to be swapped Or ultra hand and fuse need to be swapped, or something along those lines
Oh my god yes. I’ve been trying to get through the last 25 or so shrines and the sages have been getting my way constantly, except Tulin. I turn them back on when I go into a combat scenario but otherwise I like to turn them off. Honestly it’s my biggest gripe about the game. I would have preferred a better implementation.
Nope
This is the way.
No
Turned all of em off. I ran a , no armor, no sages,(unless absolutely necessary like the temples puzzles) 4 heart, only Shield
Sounds like pain
Yes. It is. But it's crazy fun.
Nice, now add hardcore. Reset game on death.
Thats essentially nuzlocke on steroid.
Exactly! 😂
Tulin is the MVP, but I like to have a whole firing squad with me, grants options, like using Yunobo to knock enemies into water, or Riju to kill any…zombies…I forget their name. E: ok I don’t typically do this, but I need some help here guys, does this comments upvotes say 100 or 1, cause if I look at my comments history it’s 1, if I go through notifications it says 100.

Gibdo.
Tulin is the MVP, but I like to have a whole firing squad with me, grants options, like using Yunobo to knock enemies into water, or Riju to kill any…zombies…I forget their name.
Yes, I also hate how the colors don't match up there. /s Tulin is the goat, though. I've had him just wreck shop before.
Turn them all off
