Check out the other myth busting videos! - ruclips.net/p/PLgnr0ce3-HDUwdiG_JBAKZY5eFJ6Xixd9 P.S - the froggy armor allows you to be slip proof when upgraded, rather than just slip resistant, and to an extent slip resistant potions do work on ice but not as much as many hoped.
I love your videos! Btw, have you tried fusing stuff to Mineru’s back? Rockets make her jump really high, fans make her move faster, and hover stones can make her fall slower. You can also put flame emitters and such on the back too. They’re not super helpful though. Try it!
I tested this on the latest version: fusing topaz on an arrow and shooting it on the ground will two shot gloom hands. Tip you have to wait until the electric effect stops the first time you do this repeat this and you can get to phantom Gannon easily
You can actually "Date" the Gerudo woman that sends bottles, you have to use Recall on a bottle and talk to her while it is nearby. She will then occasionally make some food with most being dubious or rock-hard.
Hey wily did you know at the beginning of the game zelda drops a torch during ganons awakening but when you get to the end game and go down to the bottom of the castle you can find the same torch on the ground.
If you fuse zonai devices to arrows, shoot them at something, then recall them, they will rocket back towards where they were fired at the same speed. Love the videos
While the effect of slip resistance on ice isn't massive, there is still an effect. I think it is along the lines of being able to grab on and pull yourself up one more time per level, or just one more time at level 3, there is still some level of effect
Jumping well always make you slide but the potions allow you to climb longer before skipping when climbing regularly. Basically how often you slip is reduced
For the Ruby in a Shield myth, it's not only rubies or ores. Any elemental item in the game will either keep Link warm or cold. Meaning Fire and frost items. Gleeoks would be the most useful as they won't run out of power like other items do.
gems on shields dont run out of power when used the way the ruby myth is talking about so its not an issue. they only run out of power if used offensively.
@@shadowsquadron2022 i mean saying that gleeok items would be more useful, in regards to the shield myth, because they wont run out of power like other items do, very heavily implies otherwise. it makes it sound like wearing a ruby shield too long would run out of heat and stop keeping you warm or stop melting ice and a flame gleeok item would be better, but that's just not true except for weapons.
@@saphcal gleeok items melt at a faster casual rate as far as I have noticed, just equipping the claymore did about as much as a campfire below the ice.
Did you know in shrines with targets you need the giant ball to hitt it but you can also shoot the target with a bomb arrow instead. It works on Breath of the wild & Tears of the kingdom.
Just discovered this cool trick last night, if you use a dazzle fruit on a gibdo (those tall zombie looking enemies in the depths) it makes them vulnerable to a 1 hit KO
I found that out as well. It seems there is a 5th element: light. In the Lightning Temple fight against Queen Gibdo holes will open in the ceiling causing light to come in. When they go into that light it also puts them in their vulnerable state. They are weak to fire, electricity, ice, and even water. I have personally tested all of them. However I have not tested a Zonai light yet or beam emitter or cannon yet though. It would make sense if they did work though.
@@michaellane5381 I did some playtesting last night. I tried using mirrors and lights but that didn't work. Neither did beam emitters. But a cannon did. Any elemental emitter works too (flame, frost, shock, water hydrant). If you rebattle Queen Gibdo in the depths just attach the emitters to Mineru alternate using the other sages elemental abilities. Also why aren't the Gibdos mummies they should have been called Redeads lol.
The slip resistance on ice thing is actually partially true. While the slip resistance elixirs and the slip resistance effect from the froggy armor do not work on ice as you saw, if you upgrade all 3 pieces twice at the fairy, it has a set bonus called "slip proof". This set bonus does indeed work on ice.
I have ascended form the depths into the overworld. It was in the beginning of my play through so I didn’t understand the depths that much, but I was under the bridge of hylia and so I ascended from the depths to the top of the southern tower. It was a broken off corner where Link ascended out at the top. It may be patched now, but I have done it and it may still be able to be replicated. After that I met a gleeok for the first time.
So while Sticky elixirs (even level 3 ones) are indeed pretty much useless on ice the same can't be said for the Froggy Suit. When all three parts are upgraded to level 2 you get the set bonus Slip Proof, which does indeed work on ice. It doesn't protect you from the extreme cold that exists where such icy areas are, however, so you might want to try it with a heat-emitting weapon (like one fused with an Igneo Talus Heart) and a ruby shield to confirm it safely. So it was sad to learn that control sticks are no longer the unstoppable shields against the Gloom Hands that they were in the past. However they're still rather useful in said fight. By placing one on the ground and engaging with it then pressing X to leap off it you can get an instant bullet time with your bow to unleash bomb-arrow hell upon them. I can't say if it's better than doing a shield surf with a wing shield to get that bullet time, but at least you won't biff it when you land at the end. Finally you had mentioned that weapons fused with springs have a higher knock-back Than ones fused with the sand seal plush. However, I think the one that has the highest knock-back is springs fused with Mineru's hands. Not only does she send them flying incredibly far with her spring-loaded punches but the knock-back is almost always instantaneous (most weapons require you to hit an enemy multiple times to get the knock-back.) Now is it better than equipping her with cannons or beam emitters? Probably not, but it's incredibly fun and you're less likely to suffer negative effects from getting caught in the crossfire between her and an enemy.
Speaking of Ruby-fused shields, the same goes for Sapphire-fused shields in hot weather. As for melting ice, I found out that a weapon fused with a Fire-Breath Lizalfos horn makes the ice melt a bit faster than the shield fused with Ruby (and of course it has a similar effect on Link, heating him in the cold).
You can still jump off the steering stick for bullet time, so the guy is half right. Link humming should be obvious since cooking is essential in this game. The plush has a bounce effect, the effect is categorized as a pow hammer effect much like the mushrooms you fuse to your weapons. Gems make sense since they all have elemental effects so no surprise there.
Where there are the great leviathans in BOTW / TOTK There's a dark skeleton in the depths, same for goddess statues and bargainer statues *even the one on the great sky island* and ofc, under Satori mountain there being a special place, as well as under the great plateau, every tree in the depths is where the trees are on the surface, shrine (surface only) and lighroots are in the same location, where there's water there's unclimbable walls, where there's hot springs there lava falls, and ofc, where there's a high area in the depths, there's a low area on the surface, and where there's a low area in the depths, there's a high area on the surface Just a fun fact I felt like mentioning, check for yourself if you don't believe it
Learning this stuff made the search for all the Lightroots SO MUCH *EASIER!* You could just pin the spot under a Shrine, and use the surface map to figure out the best route (the water = walls one was especially helpful). Plus the opposite is true... if you're Shrine hunting, you just gotta mark the surface with a pin where there's a Lightroot in the Depths. Helped a LOT!
There’s one spot (that I know of) where your sensor can detect a shrine from the depths: EN-OMA Shrine/AMO-NE Lightroot The distance between the two is only about 360m I didn’t try ascending everywhere there, but if it were at all possible, this would be it (I suspect it’s not)
It’s not _impossible_ to climb wet surfaces is TotK or BotW without the aid of Sticky buffs, you just have to time it properly. In BotW, count the steps that Link makes up a cliff and jump after the fifth step. You will still slip, but will make more progress than you lose. It still depletes stamina faster and you can’t climb as far, but can be useful if you don’t have the Sticky buff available and need to get up a wet surface. I haven’t tried it on ice in TotK, but it may be possible to use a similar trick (maybe a different step count) with Sticky buffs to get up those icy surfaces.
You know Skull lake in Botw? Well, it has some pretty flowers that glow/pulsate glow, especially at night, if I remember correctly. Many people don't notice them. Check them out if you're nearby! Btw, I have a tip for defeating enemies/mini bosses. Collect/buy as many elemenal arrows/fruits/bows as you can, and find a high cliff where the enemy won't see you. Next, (this requires patience) bombard them with arrow attacks from a few different angles, depending how they move. Slowly, but surely, they'll eventually get weak, and then, and only then, you can jump down and press y. (You can only do this if you're patient enough, some just go straight into battle and die)
13:18 Notice the rise in temperature the thermometer shows when the shield is equipped. This was also a thing in BOTW, i used it in at least one shrine and on several of these large icicles. That effect also affects ice plates or icicles. Fusing bows to weapons or shields can be a way to store them and have them unfused later. I used that to significantly expand the storage of weapons in Links home.
FYI its not Just Rubies and sapphires that can help with Link's temperature. Nearly all elemental fusions can. I like to use a flame/ice talus heart on my shields for that. Flame elemental fusions can also break/melt ice Without being "on hand", just having it equipped works.
yeah i remember having trouble fighting the frost gleeok cuz during the final phase where i was trying to recall ride the icicles up to it to finish it, the ruby shield on my back keeping me warm kept melting them before i could make it up lol
@@Midna78 ye thus the "nearly all" part of the comment. Gleok parts as an example work. Fire lizal parts work. I've no clue if keese wings and eyes do. Probably not.
About recalling arrows. You cannot use recall on enemy arrows, but if you fuse a stake to your own arrow and shoot it down a cliff, you can then climb o to the stake, use recall on it, and then ride the stake back up the cliff. Very useful for when you’re searching for a cave entrance. You don’t always jump down on the right side of said cliff. This allows you to almost instantly return to your vantage point, and continue searching from a high altitude.
Also, the steering stick method still works against Gloom Spawn in my game, but I’m still on version 1.0.0. So it’s possibly been patched at some point since then.
I have ascended from the depths several times in several places that were not designated areas. I will say though that I never went directly through the ceiling, but instead through a rock or root pillar that went all the way up.
@@drwily I'm not really sure what the "natural laws" are for Ascend, but I guess it shall remain a mystery... If I find a spot, I'll give the coords in a future video's comments, but for now I'll just accept that it won't work.
The steering stick and gloom hands thing... Its not a safe spot. Its just a way to get bullet time over and over. Jump off, pull out your bow, shoot the eyes. Then reset and do it again.
You can't take a pic of gloom hands for the compendium, but you can take a pic of phantom Ganon. Then you can track him and you'll never be ambushed again.
Hey it’s me again. When you were on the topic of elixirs it reminded me of something, if you get 4 high selling guts from maybe a lynel or gleeok if you hold them and add a bug when you cook it it makes an elixir that can sometimes sell for over 1000 rupees! Trust me it’s not like my second myth you tested. So it will sell for more than if you sold the ingredients by themselves trust me this works. You will not regret it.
Lynel guts and Gleeok guts already sell for 200 rupees each. So using 4 would make sense to be at least 800 rupees. However there isn't a bug, lizard, crab, or frog that would normally sell for that high for the remaining 200. If your claim is true it would be worth it if Gleeok guts weren't so tough to come by. Good to know though. (I was literally playing the game to see the sell prices while typing this comment lol).
@@josephmullins4133well the thing is 4 guts would add up to 800 and then a bug would be maybe 2 or 4 rupees but for some reason it being an elixer puts extra rupees on the selling price, if you don’t believe me save your game make the elixir and if it doesn’t work then you can reload the save, it really works, it is what I do most of the time. So 800 rupees for guts, 4 rupees for a bug = possibly 1500+ rupees.
I've seen people use the fused arrow recall to move koroks. Just stand by their friend, fire a fused arrow towards the one asking for help, then run over, stick the fused arrow to the korok, and recall. I haven't tried it myself yet but I've seen several videos demonstrating.
The fuse ultrahand idea is actually possible through a 1.1.1 and previous versions glitch called ultra broken. Though many might know if as wacko boingo. There are actually a lot of uses for this glitch
13:05 This is why I fuse weapons with materials that radiate heat or cold to survive in environments with the opposite temperature; for example, a heat-radiating mat in the Hebra Region or nighttime Gerudo Desert, or a cold-radiating mat in midday Gerudo Desert
why weapons? if you use a shield they wont break. if theyre on your weapon you cant fight without it running out. on a shield as long as you dont block with it, it can protect you forever. ive been using the same ruby and sapphire shields for dozens of hours this way. also the shield just needs to be on your back not out, so you can use two handed weapons with it still protecting you.
@@saphcal Ever hear of the phrase "old habits die hard"? At the end of the day, let people play how they want. Even if it involves playing on 1.1.1 and using the Shield Surf Dupe Glitch, which CAN eventually break your shield
@@AuracleOfBacon im not telling you how to play, i was just asking why you did that instead. it wasnt an attack, i play on the unpatched game myself to abuse glitches/exploits im all about letting people play how they want, i was just curious as to why you were doing it on weapons instead of shields.
The fused elemental items thing is so helpful, most of my shields have ice or fire stone talus hearts on them, for hot or cold weather. It’s too bad having an ice shield and an ice weapon doesn’t fight double cold arenas. The warming/cooling effect of an elemental fused shield or a weapon only decreases the cold or heat by one stage. I was really hoping I could double up to avoid having to wear clothes again. Still helpful regardless. You can also melt ice by just drawing a fire arrow and standing in front of ice without firing it. Not exactly helpful but interesting non the less. Swinging a sword with a fire element attacked also melts the ice way faster and you don’t need to evens make contact with it as long as it is close.!So you don’t lose weapon durability that way.
Not sure if you busted this myth yet, but I wonder if it is possible to get two groups of gloom hands in the same area by making one group follow you to another group, and this could maybe result in fighting 2 phantom Ganon's at the same time. But maybe gloom hands are placed too far from eachother to be possible. Or perhaps they are coded to not spawn if one is already active.
I don't think it is possible since if you roam too far from its range, it will despawn. Until glitch hunters find a way for them not to despawn, it ain't possible
In underground area where you pick up parts for spirit temple to build a robot, there are vent like items that you can remove by abusing stablizers (you can remove only 2 out of 4). When you make a V out of those, you can use them to bug lynely so they are stuck in *I MUST DESPAWN THE ITEMS* mode as those items cant be despawned at all.
Trying to recall arrows: You definitely CAN recall meat, wood, and various other fused items when shot by arrow. So what if an enemy is shooting bomb or other fused arrows at you?
As long as the froggy set is upgraded twice and you're wearing the full set you can climb icy surfaces without slipping at all. You did not even test it. Anyway your myth busting videos are awesome. Also did you know that if you climb out of reach of gloom hands while they are chasing you they will die and will also not become a Phantom Ganon? If you run away far enough from them the same thing also happens but that's hard to do.
Only had this happen once and haven't tried to replicate it. But if you lead gloom hands to construction materials, kinda stall them there and get out of reach, it seems they will throw stuff at you. Would love to see this replicated to know I'm not crazy. 😂
I did more testing. Jumping off very high up islands at night and slow falling will fairly often trigger a twinkling sound and if you look around you can find a star fragment falling alongside you and you can maneuver in the air to grab it before you/it hit the ground. It makes getting a good number of fragments way easier. I just got one while falling caught it mid air and another fell in the distance and I flying biked to that one. I’m not as sure how often you can do this. It might be once a night or once a blood moon. It’s a cool thing to trigger either way.
On my friend @GameSmiths' stream, his mod @Dan the Man made him Fuse a Sand Seal stuffie to the Master Sword, so he could make "The Sword that SEALS the Darkness" haha I rock the stuffies on my Gerudo shields, just cuz it's rly cute haha
One thing that is kind of cool about the gloom enemies in the depths is that they do gloom damage instead of, not in addition to, regular damage. That means that if you already have depleted hearts, those hearts will break rather than becoming further depleted, so you can go down there with just 1 heart and 40 heart containers, and effectively have 40 hearts for 90% of the enemies in the depths, and still get things like the royal weapon bonuses. Once you have all the lightroots, "healing" that damage is pretty easy, so the depths kind of become easier than the surface in terms of combat most of the time.
One time, in the depths, i used a muddle bud on the gloom hands, and they dissapeared, leaving behind only purple mist. I tried it again in Korok Forest, but it didn't work (and never again after that)...
the question is, will it still do gloom damage to the enemies? that's the main benefit of the gloom weapons, it takes away one heart from you but it also one-shots a lot of enemies.
I think you took Dunno's suggestion about the steering stick the wrong way. The "safe haven" they referred to was bullet time itself. When you go on the steering stick, then jump up and draw your bow, you can consistently aim at the eyes, or shoot with bomb flowers or elemental arrows from a distance. Same can be applied to other bosses, including a Lynel, Molduga, the sludge octorok, Ganondorf, and even the Gleeok. Rinse, Grind, Repeat. There has been a video showcasing a fight against many bosses with a steering stick.
fusing bows to shields/weapons isnt quite the "wasted resources". I use that trick all the time when my weapons/bow tab is full and there is a weapon/bow i really want to get without wasting one of my slots. I Just fuse em to a shield and when one of my bows/weapons break, i go to that kid goron that breaks apart fusions and get my shiny stashed "resource"
Remember if you attach a wing to a boomerang, it goes further. Well apparently the wing can disappear! I was just messing around my Soaring Boomerang (I’m not joking, that’s what the name of my Giant Boomerang + Wing weapon was called.), and the wing on my boomerang disappeared! It acted like when you fly too far on a wing. I was wondering if you can test it so other people know.
Around the time of writing this, I found a armor piece to a set I was looking for (Ember Headdress and with no guide, just by accident), and found a weapon in a chest that had a +10 attack up modifier. So yay me.
Well, okay. But I have another one! If you are on a steering stick and you fall (Maybe test from a sky island to the ground) you won’t take fall damage! But if you get knocked off it, you take the damage. For this one, maybe stick a stabilizer on the bottom of the steering stick so you don’t fall off!
hello dr. wily for the driving stick with the gloom hands I think you have to press A as if you were going to drive. Another myth that I have try and it seems to work is attached a dragon scale to any vehicle and it won't disappear if you walk away from it.
I'm pretty sure you can't climb ice at all without that sticky potion, so it does actually work. Getting the full froggy armor upgraded twice is how you get slip-proof as a bonus effect.
that myth about the slippery surfaces, did your slip proof outfit have its upgrade? the one that makes it immune to slipping? slip resistance on its own only reduces slipping but the set bonus on the upgraded slip resistant armor should make you immune to slipping entirely
I've heard that fusing various effect items like elemental gems or muddle buds to a wind cleaver will give the wind blade that's produced the same effect to what's fused to it, but i'm not sure if it can work for every thing like star fragments or dazzlefruit.
I believe another RUclipsr showed this. And you mean the eight fold long blade right? It might have been in one of top gaming plays videos. I don't exactly remember where I seen it though. The regular eight fold blade doesn't have the wind effect so no for that one.
this is in the next video actrually, also glad you like the vids and i hope everyone loves me EXTREME levels of engagement in the comment section because man this stuff takes hours hahaha
Here’s something you could try: Try repeatedly hitting a Lynel in the face with Muddlebud arrows from far away. If it works, it should prevent them from pulling out their bow, allowing you to pummel the Lynel into submission while it helplessly gets stunned over and over again.
The blue seal is the greatest knock back fuse in the game. Knock back is also affected by the weapon damage value so you likely had that fudge the testing.
No idea if someone already asked this but myth idea: If you fuse a shield to either your two handed weapon or spear weapon, your able to block and parry with it like using a one handed weapon and shield?
Jiosin shrine is (in the Dutch version) the only shrine where the lightroot beneath does not have the same name mirrored. I don't know if it is in other versions, but that is why we have you.
When I played early on in the game, I "defeated" Gloom Hands by running away (I didn't stand a chance against them in a fight). I think exposure to sunlight is what actually destroyed them, and they were definitely defeated somehow, since they dropped dark clumps. I've experimented tormenting them with dazzle fruit, but I wonder if using mirrors during the daytime would have any interesting effects.

This slip proof effect also works while climbing ice.

I have ascended form the depths into the overworld. It was in the beginning of my play through so I didn’t understand the depths that much, but I was under the bridge of hylia and so I ascended from the depths to the top of the southern tower.

Yeah, I also accidentally ascended from the depths on 1.0 so it may really have been patched

That's deep.
zonai mirrors can shine under the light of the roots/teleport zones at the underground
So while Sticky elixirs (even level 3 ones) are indeed pretty much useless on ice the same can't be said for the Froggy Suit. When all three parts are upgraded to level 2 you get the set bonus Slip Proof, which does indeed work on ice. It doesn't protect you from the extreme cold that exists where such icy areas are, however, so you might want to try it with a heat-emitting weapon (like one fused with an Igneo Talus Heart) and a ruby shield to confirm it safely.
So it was sad to learn that control sticks are no longer the unstoppable shields against the Gloom Hands that they were in the past. However they're still rather useful in said fight. By placing one on the ground and engaging with it then pressing X to leap off it you can get an instant bullet time with your bow to unleash bomb-arrow hell upon them. I can't say if it's better than doing a shield surf with a wing shield to get that bullet time, but at least you won't biff it when you land at the end.
Finally you had mentioned that weapons fused with springs have a higher knock-back Than ones fused with the sand seal plush. However, I think the one that has the highest knock-back is springs fused with Mineru's hands. Not only does she send them flying incredibly far with her spring-loaded punches but the knock-back is almost always instantaneous (most weapons require you to hit an enemy multiple times to get the knock-back.) Now is it better than equipping her with cannons or beam emitters? Probably not, but it's incredibly fun and you're less likely to suffer negative effects from getting caught in the crossfire between her and an enemy.
upgrading the wingsuit set to the level 2 allows you to resist to every fall.
Speaking of Ruby-fused shields, the same goes for Sapphire-fused shields in hot weather. As for melting ice, I found out that a weapon fused with a Fire-Breath Lizalfos horn makes the ice melt a bit faster than the shield fused with Ruby (and of course it has a similar effect on Link, heating him in the cold).
You can still jump off the steering stick for bullet time, so the guy is half right. Link humming should be obvious since cooking is essential in this game. The plush has a bounce effect, the effect is categorized as a pow hammer effect much like the mushrooms you fuse to your weapons. Gems make sense since they all have elemental effects so no surprise there.
agree with all of this tbh
Where there are the great leviathans in BOTW / TOTK
There's a dark skeleton in the depths, same for goddess statues and bargainer statues *even the one on the great sky island* and ofc, under Satori mountain there being a special place, as well as under the great plateau, every tree in the depths is where the trees are on the surface, shrine (surface only) and lighroots are in the same location, where there's water there's unclimbable walls, where there's hot springs there lava falls, and ofc, where there's a high area in the depths, there's a low area on the surface, and where there's a low area in the depths, there's a high area on the surface
Just a fun fact I felt like mentioning, check for yourself if you don't believe it
Except the plateaus temple seems to have no shrine above its root.
Learning this stuff made the search for all the Lightroots SO MUCH *EASIER!* You could just pin the spot under a Shrine, and use the surface map to figure out the best route (the water = walls one was especially helpful). Plus the opposite is true... if you're Shrine hunting, you just gotta mark the surface with a pin where there's a Lightroot in the Depths. Helped a LOT!
@@michaellane5381 I'm 99% sure _EVERY_ *SURFACE* Shrine has a corresponding LightRoot, and vice-versa...
@@michaellane5381 if you can't find a shrine above a lightroot, there might be a cave somewhere
@@BoyProdigyX also yeah it's 100% of every, when you can't just find it on the surface, try looking in caves
There’s one spot (that I know of) where your sensor can detect a shrine from the depths: EN-OMA Shrine/AMO-NE Lightroot
The distance between the two is only about 360m
I didn’t try ascending everywhere there, but if it were at all possible, this would be it (I suspect it’s not)
It’s not _impossible_ to climb wet surfaces is TotK or BotW without the aid of Sticky buffs, you just have to time it properly. In BotW, count the steps that Link makes up a cliff and jump after the fifth step. You will still slip, but will make more progress than you lose. It still depletes stamina faster and you can’t climb as far, but can be useful if you don’t have the Sticky buff available and need to get up a wet surface. I haven’t tried it on ice in TotK, but it may be possible to use a similar trick (maybe a different step count) with Sticky buffs to get up those icy surfaces.
You know Skull lake in Botw? Well, it has some pretty flowers that glow/pulsate glow, especially at night, if I remember correctly. Many people don't notice them. Check them out if you're nearby! Btw, I have a tip for defeating enemies/mini bosses. Collect/buy as many elemenal arrows/fruits/bows as you can, and find a high cliff where the enemy won't see you. Next, (this requires patience) bombard them with arrow attacks from a few different angles, depending how they move. Slowly, but surely, they'll eventually get weak, and then, and only then, you can jump down and press y. (You can only do this if you're patient enough, some just go straight into battle and die)
13:18 Notice the rise in temperature the thermometer shows when the shield is equipped. This was also a thing in BOTW, i used it in at least one shrine and on several of these large icicles. That effect also affects ice plates or icicles.
Fusing bows to weapons or shields can be a way to store them and have them unfused later. I used that to significantly expand the storage of weapons in Links home.
Fuse a lizalfos tail of any element to a boomerang and watch the chaos unfold
FYI its not Just Rubies and sapphires that can help with Link's temperature. Nearly all elemental fusions can. I like to use a flame/ice talus heart on my shields for that. Flame elemental fusions can also break/melt ice Without being "on hand", just having it equipped works.
yeah i remember having trouble fighting the frost gleeok cuz during the final phase where i was trying to recall ride the icicles up to it to finish it, the ruby shield on my back keeping me warm kept melting them before i could make it up lol
When I fused a fire jelly to a shield, it changed nothing other than looking funny 😅
@@Midna78 ye thus the "nearly all" part of the comment. Gleok parts as an example work. Fire lizal parts work. I've no clue if keese wings and eyes do. Probably not.
About recalling arrows.
You cannot use recall on enemy arrows, but if you fuse a stake to your own arrow and shoot it down a cliff, you can then climb o to the stake, use recall on it, and then ride the stake back up the cliff. Very useful for when you’re searching for a cave entrance. You don’t always jump down on the right side of said cliff. This allows you to almost instantly return to your vantage point, and continue searching from a high altitude.
Also, the steering stick method still works against Gloom Spawn in my game, but I’m still on version 1.0.0.
So it’s possibly been patched at some point since then.
yeah this will be in a futre vid
probably
I have ascended from the depths several times in several places that were not designated areas. I will say though that I never went directly through the ceiling, but instead through a rock or root pillar that went all the way up.
aka spots put by nintendo, well imo
@@drwily I'm not really sure what the "natural laws" are for Ascend, but I guess it shall remain a mystery...
If I find a spot, I'll give the coords in a future video's comments, but for now I'll just accept that it won't work.
Did you know that you can fuse a star fragment to your magic rod to make a light rod? It doesn’t do any damage though.
In one of the blessing shrines, they straight up give you a star rod
@@EHnter I’m aware. It is possible you might miss what it is if all your weapon slots are full and you leave it in the chest though.
@@Ppilldd probably but anyone should just test it out since it’s widely different compared to just getting a royal boardsword
@@EHnter of course.
seen it
If you attach a rocket to an eightfold longblade, then spin attack, the weapon will start to shoot out wind slashes all over the place.
But only after the rocket is depleted.

The steering stick and gloom hands thing... Its not a safe spot. Its just a way to get bullet time over and over. Jump off, pull out your bow, shoot the eyes. Then reset and do it again.
yeah but the claim was also a save spot
You can't take a pic of gloom hands for the compendium, but you can take a pic of phantom Ganon. Then you can track him and you'll never be ambushed again.
oehhhhhhhh
If you finished the dlc in botw u will hang up a picture on Link's house and if you check in totk the picture will still be here
yup its pretty cool
Hey it’s me again. When you were on the topic of elixirs it reminded me of something, if you get 4 high selling guts from maybe a lynel or gleeok if you hold them and add a bug when you cook it it makes an elixir that can sometimes sell for over 1000 rupees! Trust me it’s not like my second myth you tested. So it will sell for more than if you sold the ingredients by themselves trust me this works. You will not regret it.
Hi
Lynel guts and Gleeok guts already sell for 200 rupees each. So using 4 would make sense to be at least 800 rupees. However there isn't a bug, lizard, crab, or frog that would normally sell for that high for the remaining 200. If your claim is true it would be worth it if Gleeok guts weren't so tough to come by. Good to know though. (I was literally playing the game to see the sell prices while typing this comment lol).
@@josephmullins4133well the thing is 4 guts would add up to 800 and then a bug would be maybe 2 or 4 rupees but for some reason it being an elixer puts extra rupees on the selling price, if you don’t believe me save your game make the elixir and if it doesn’t work then you can reload the save, it really works, it is what I do most of the time. So 800 rupees for guts, 4 rupees for a bug = possibly 1500+ rupees.
@@josephmullins4133that’s the point, making them into an elixir sells for more then by themselves
You can recall an arrow if its fused with something like a wood bundle (I think). Also you can recall a boomerang for a double hit.
Technically the arrow isn't recalled, only the item you fused to it.
@@mrcombustiblelemon2902 yeah that makes sense
I've seen people use the fused arrow recall to move koroks. Just stand by their friend, fire a fused arrow towards the one asking for help, then run over, stick the fused arrow to the korok, and recall. I haven't tried it myself yet but I've seen several videos demonstrating.
@@revwroth3698 that sounds awesome
that should definitely be featured
on the list
Myth: If you burn a korok long enough, it'll eventually respawn at its original position.
true
The fuse ultrahand idea is actually possible through a 1.1.1 and previous versions glitch called ultra broken. Though many might know if as wacko boingo. There are actually a lot of uses for this glitch
Spin attack with bouncy weapons
13:05 This is why I fuse weapons with materials that radiate heat or cold to survive in environments with the opposite temperature; for example, a heat-radiating mat in the Hebra Region or nighttime Gerudo Desert, or a cold-radiating mat in midday Gerudo Desert
why weapons? if you use a shield they wont break. if theyre on your weapon you cant fight without it running out. on a shield as long as you dont block with it, it can protect you forever. ive been using the same ruby and sapphire shields for dozens of hours this way. also the shield just needs to be on your back not out, so you can use two handed weapons with it still protecting you.
@@saphcal Ever hear of the phrase "old habits die hard"?
At the end of the day, let people play how they want. Even if it involves playing on 1.1.1 and using the Shield Surf Dupe Glitch, which CAN eventually break your shield
@@AuracleOfBacon im not telling you how to play, i was just asking why you did that instead. it wasnt an attack, i play on the unpatched game myself to abuse glitches/exploits im all about letting people play how they want, i was just curious as to why you were doing it on weapons instead of shields.
@@saphcal I do weapons because I can
@@AuracleOfBacon thats fair. thats all the answer i needed. i was just curious.
The fused elemental items thing is so helpful, most of my shields have ice or fire stone talus hearts on them, for hot or cold weather.
It’s too bad having an ice shield and an ice weapon doesn’t fight double cold arenas. The warming/cooling effect of an elemental fused shield or a weapon only decreases the cold or heat by one stage. I was really hoping I could double up to avoid having to wear clothes again. Still helpful regardless.
You can also melt ice by just drawing a fire arrow and standing in front of ice without firing it. Not exactly helpful but interesting non the less. Swinging a sword with a fire element attacked also melts the ice way faster and you don’t need to evens make contact with it as long as it is close.!So you don’t lose weapon durability that way.
Not sure if you busted this myth yet, but I wonder if it is possible to get two groups of gloom hands in the same area by making one group follow you to another group, and this could maybe result in fighting 2 phantom Ganon's at the same time. But maybe gloom hands are placed too far from eachother to be possible. Or perhaps they are coded to not spawn if one is already active.
There are 3 places in the game where it is possible to fight multiple Gloom Hands/Phantom Ganons at once. There may be more, but I know of 3
I don't think it is possible since if you roam too far from its range, it will despawn. Until glitch hunters find a way for them not to despawn, it ain't possible
@@patrick8358list em?
yeah exactly this, not sure if i can get them together
where???
If you have golden hearts an if u take any gloom damage all the golden hearts will be all gone
rip
In underground area where you pick up parts for spirit temple to build a robot, there are vent like items that you can remove by abusing stablizers (you can remove only 2 out of 4).
When you make a V out of those, you can use them to bug lynely so they are stuck in *I MUST DESPAWN THE ITEMS* mode as those items cant be despawned at all.
Here’s one you can shoot something on an arrow like meat than attach something to it like a korok and both objects will go make with recall
uhhh what?
It’s mostly useful for getting things up cliffs when you can’t pick it up
Imagine someone using recall on you while you’re taking a crap
that is so weird and disturbing to think of lol
hahahhahaha
Such a good and helpful series❤
glad it helps and that its fun!
If you fuse a shield to a sword, you can parry with the sword
yes this even works with 2 handed weapons which normally dont allow you to block at all.
already tested
@@drwily what does that mean? am I accepted or not?
Trying to recall arrows: You definitely CAN recall meat, wood, and various other fused items when shot by arrow. So what if an enemy is shooting bomb or other fused arrows at you?
yeah but than you are recalling the fused item not the arrow itself, but will add this to the list
As long as the froggy set is upgraded twice and you're wearing the full set you can climb icy surfaces without slipping at all. You did not even test it. Anyway your myth busting videos are awesome. Also did you know that if you climb out of reach of gloom hands while they are chasing you they will die and will also not become a Phantom Ganon? If you run away far enough from them the same thing also happens but that's hard to do.
in the pinned comment, and yeah seen that before actually
Love these videos. Good work!
glad you like em!
can you try talking to hudson with the hudson shield in hand
Only had this happen once and haven't tried to replicate it. But if you lead gloom hands to construction materials, kinda stall them there and get out of reach, it seems they will throw stuff at you. Would love to see this replicated to know I'm not crazy. 😂
I did more testing. Jumping off very high up islands at night and slow falling will fairly often trigger a twinkling sound and if you look around you can find a star fragment falling alongside you and you can maneuver in the air to grab it before you/it hit the ground.
It makes getting a good number of fragments way easier.
I just got one while falling caught it mid air and another fell in the distance and I flying biked to that one.
I’m not as sure how often you can do this. It might be once a night or once a blood moon. It’s a cool thing to trigger either way.
On my friend @GameSmiths' stream, his mod @Dan the Man made him Fuse a Sand Seal stuffie to the Master Sword, so he could make "The Sword that SEALS the Darkness" haha

hahahhaaha lmao
@@drwily yeh haha He kept typing it in the chat, and you could tell everybody "got it" at the same time 😂
For the plushie myth, heavy attack an enemy to really send them flying
Awesome Video Bro.
One thing that is kind of cool about the gloom enemies in the depths is that they do gloom damage instead of, not in addition to, regular damage. That means that if you already have depleted hearts, those hearts will break rather than becoming further depleted, so you can go down there with just 1 heart and 40 heart containers, and effectively have 40 hearts for 90% of the enemies in the depths, and still get things like the royal weapon bonuses. Once you have all the lightroots, "healing" that damage is pretty easy, so the depths kind of become easier than the surface in terms of combat most of the time.
Fusing a ballon to Mineru back slows your decent in air. It even blows fire...serves little point but neat
One time, in the depths, i used a muddle bud on the gloom hands, and they dissapeared, leaving behind only purple mist. I tried it again in Korok Forest, but it didn't work (and never again after that)...
well, not sure what happened but sometimes when you run away they actually despawn
The set bonus for upgrading the froggy suit twice makes it impossible to slip while climbing

The Colgera theme is a remix of the Rito village theme
An interesting one I tested myself. Attaching a light dragon horn to a gloom weapon negates the gloom effect (try at full health and multiple times)
the question is, will it still do gloom damage to the enemies? that's the main benefit of the gloom weapons, it takes away one heart from you but it also one-shots a lot of enemies.
still gotta test this one
I think you took Dunno's suggestion about the steering stick the wrong way.
The "safe haven" they referred to was bullet time itself. When you go on the steering stick, then jump up and draw your bow, you can consistently aim at the eyes, or shoot with bomb flowers or elemental arrows from a distance.
Same can be applied to other bosses, including a Lynel, Molduga, the sludge octorok, Ganondorf, and even the Gleeok. Rinse, Grind, Repeat. There has been a video showcasing a fight against many bosses with a steering stick.
Fusing a cart to a shield will make the shield act almost like a skateboard
yup, was in an older vid
Your shield does not take any damage or break while riding on ANY minecart rail.
guess i will test this

What happens if you fight gloom hands with a gloom sword/bow/spear/club? Are they more effective
The master sword definitely is
not sure
fusing bows to shields/weapons isnt quite the "wasted resources". I use that trick all the time when my weapons/bow tab is full and there is a weapon/bow i really want to get without wasting one of my slots.
I Just fuse em to a shield and when one of my bows/weapons break, i go to that kid goron that breaks apart fusions and get my shiny stashed "resource"
fair faire
Attaching a time bomb to ur shield and shield jumping gives u the biggest boost possible using Nintendo intended methods
The eightfold longblade fused with a muddle bud will produce those long range wind slashes confusing a group of enemies.

Remember if you attach a wing to a boomerang, it goes further. Well apparently the wing can disappear! I was just messing around my Soaring Boomerang (I’m not joking, that’s what the name of my Giant Boomerang + Wing weapon was called.), and the wing on my boomerang disappeared! It acted like when you fly too far on a wing. I was wondering if you can test it so other people know.
Around the time of writing this, I found a armor piece to a set I was looking for (Ember Headdress and with no guide, just by accident), and found a weapon in a chest that had a +10 attack up modifier. So yay me.
well at some point the wing is spent and dissapears, aside from that i messed with that fuse combo in a previous vid
Well, okay.
But I have another one! If you are on a steering stick and you fall (Maybe test from a sky island to the ground) you won’t take fall damage! But if you get knocked off it, you take the damage. For this one, maybe stick a stabilizer on the bottom of the steering stick so you don’t fall off!
hello dr. wily for the driving stick with the gloom hands I think you have to press A as if you were going to drive. Another myth that I have try and it seems to work is attached a dragon scale to any vehicle and it won't disappear if you walk away from it.
i did that, also i tested that myth in a previous video, but good suggestion!
If 2 dragons get too close, one dissappears
Fun fact : upgrading the skydive mobility up armor set with great fairies reduce /negate fall damage
Used that to unlock a sky crystal in Akkala. Just grabbed it and jumped off lol
I'm pretty sure you can't climb ice at all without that sticky potion, so it does actually work. Getting the full froggy armor upgraded twice is how you get slip-proof as a bonus effect.
that myth about the slippery surfaces, did your slip proof outfit have its upgrade? the one that makes it immune to slipping? slip resistance on its own only reduces slipping but the set bonus on the upgraded slip resistant armor should make you immune to slipping entirely
Honestly he shouldn't have deemed it entirely false for both the armor sets and elixirs because he didn't even test the armor.

corrected it in the pinned comment
I've heard that fusing various effect items like elemental gems or muddle buds to a wind cleaver will give the wind blade that's produced the same effect to what's fused to it, but i'm not sure if it can work for every thing like star fragments or dazzlefruit.
Only the sharp elemental things that don't make the weapon do a blunt swing. Plus muddlebuds
y eas covered this in the previous vid and will be in the upcoming video as well
hi wily!
i was wondering if you add a muddle bud to a eight fold blade the projectile would have the same efect,
love your vids! :)
I believe another RUclipsr showed this. And you mean the eight fold long blade right? It might have been in one of top gaming plays videos. I don't exactly remember where I seen it though. The regular eight fold blade doesn't have the wind effect so no for that one.
it does work. gamespot showed this in things you didn't know about totk
this is in the next video actrually, also glad you like the vids and i hope everyone loves me EXTREME levels of engagement in the comment section because man this stuff takes hours hahaha
making the electric lizalfos wet with a watery fruit or any weapon with an opal makes them stronger with an electric aura
oh yeah bet, but will try this
Here’s something you could try:
Try repeatedly hitting a Lynel in the face with Muddlebud arrows from far away. If it works, it should prevent them from pulling out their bow, allowing you to pummel the Lynel into submission while it helplessly gets stunned over and over again.
gonna screenshot this
The blue seal is the greatest knock back fuse in the game. Knock back is also affected by the weapon damage value so you likely had that fudge the testing.

When I played early on in the game, I "defeated" Gloom Hands by running away (I didn't stand a chance against them in a fight). I think exposure to sunlight is what actually destroyed them, and they were definitely defeated somehow, since they dropped dark clumps. I've experimented tormenting them with dazzle fruit, but I wonder if using mirrors during the daytime would have any interesting effects.
