Stake arrows are also useful for korok transport. Shoot one from the endpoint to the korok, attach it to the stake, then rewind the stake to send the korok flying right to his friend!
You can fuse muddle buds to the eightfold blade and as long as direct contact is not made with he sword, the wind gusts will provide the muddle effect at a range.
The honey actually has the "rod" type fusion tag, meaning that like gemstones when you stick it on a rod/staff/scepter it has a special effect. It still summon bees, but they will not aggro on yourself.
Elemental keese wings on boomerangs I found to be especially powerful since they get the "soaring" effect which extends the range they can be thrown while also getting the elemental effects
Soaring boomerang works with pretty much any boomerang + wing combo, also the Zonai device wing. There even is a large boomerang fused with a Zonai wing inside a chest on Eventide island.
@@LionsShareYT And here I was just planning on using a Homing Cart, a Big Wheel, and a pair of Hydrants. Maybe a pair of Shock Emitters in the front for contact damage, and a stabilizer if it turns out top heavy. Haven't done any of the rematches myself yet, just planning for them.
New Zelda totk user and hands down one of the most helpful. Thank you for not rushing through! Many of the folks posting tips and tricks vids speak so fast I can get much out of them.
I have found 2 excellent uses for chu-chu jelly fusions: 1. Adding a standard blue chu-chu jelly to a Forest Dweller sword can be an excellent source of getting Link wet. This can be combined with Zora weapons to get an enhanced weapon buff due to Water Warrior. 2. Fusing a fire chu-chu jelly to a torch can create a self-lighting torch when thrown.
bee fusion is actually really helpful in technical builds because construct heads will target bees as a threat. You can use them to make all sorts of things, from weird vehicles to pulse lasers
Somebody else commented this as well! That’s super cool, and I wish I’d known that before making the video. I’ll definitely be looking into that some more.
The stake and hover stone combos are true genius, particularly if you fall short of an island but can't locate a place to stand to use ascend, that's an incredibly useful fuse to know about.
I haven’t always loved fuse because it makes the game more complicated, but now I’m becoming more curious to discover the combos that work best for my fighting style. I’m definitely more of a sniper type than a hand to hand type, so arrows are my best friend!
Bees don't do a lot of damage on their own, but the zonai device heads that will seek and target enemies will prioritize bees over everything else. So if you make a drone attack device using the heads to seek out enemies, honey fused weapons are a way to target specific enemies.
To add on to the Zonai Emitter boomerang point, Lizalfos Tails are also quite fun on boomerangs.. There isn't a beam emitter equivalent but it looks like they have a similar range and added damage, plus non-elemental variants that could deal even more damage.
Elemental lizalfos tails on boomerangs work well, as they stretch out when used. I also use the dragon spike shards for elemental arrows, instead of gems
Yeah, I’ve been avoiding the dragon materials, but I probably could include them now. I mentioned Lizalfos tails in my last fuse video, but putting it on a boomerang is a good call.
@@arielcuster6660yeah when you're focused on them you have to wait around a lot for them to respawn. I just climb atop of them when I get the chance. Usually with a rocket or via a skyview tower nearby
@@LionsShareYT Old tip for dragon parts, but using them in a construct makes it so said build gains the DP's despawn distance, which is the longest in the game. Not sure about the spikes, but the classic four (Scale, Claw, Fang, Horn) all work. It also applies to Auto Build dragon parts, not just the originals.
I've tried to find out every useful fusion available and use them in my play throughs, but your Bright bloom on a Korok Weapon idea, with the dropping attack to plant them, is completely new to me and revolutionary. I need another play through now. Also new was the feathered edge and ice combos. Nice!
The Frost Emitter Boomerang is one of my favorite fusions. I love being able to freeze an entire camp at once. It has the benefit over the Saphire Rod of being easier to repair with Rock Octorocks. The only downside is that it can get caught on terrain in cramped areas.
The heart stones you get from the elemental talus enemies are good tools for ice and fire. The fire one fused to a torch can be used to strike ice to melt it quickly without the torch taking any damage. The ice heart works like you showed in the video but doesn't melt. But using it near lava will make the entire torch evaporate, so using it to a metal weapon is a better idea.
Fun fact, cart and icy meat shields do basically the exact same thing. Though what'd you like to have for it? Skateboard shield (that works on any surface) or.... A literal slab of meat from the freezer (that also works on any surface. Even sand/snow which is kinda surprising)
If you fuse elemental types to weapons they regulate your temperature too. Too hot, bring out your sapphire sword, too cold bring out a fire lizalfos sword
Very well curated list here, I knew most of this even if I haven't used many of them, but I really like the extra info you give. Octo balloons in shrines I have not seen... Before I had a clue how to use fusion properly, I made a cannon bat (sturdy thick stick + cannon), using it sparingly it lasted forever. I never tried the throwing technique, but as a two-handed weapon, you could generally aim a shot directly in front of you. The cannon ball would shoot at the apex of the swing unless the bat actually hits something, then you blow yourself up. Also, I can't stand surprise skeletons, so I love the forest spear with sparkle berries. Wish I knew it worked with brightblooms before.
My must have/ go-to fusions in my inventory re: Shield - - rock/talus stone hearts (to help break ores without the need to worry about weapons + fuse a Korok rock for easy puzzle solving) - luminous talus stone heart (automatic luminating device + time keeping device due to it glowing during night time) - rocket fused for quick way up - elementally fused (either ice/fire talus hearts or gleeok horns) for easy elemental access (e.g. hot and cold areas + melting of ice + bonus fire or electric gleeok horn shield bash for Gibdo) - frost emitter (instant freeze of enemies so they can't run away, e.g. yigas + can be used together with sneak strike by freezing them and walking behind them for extra bonus attack points) - cannon (for breaking of HUGE rock formations or mobs of enemies, particularly useful in Gerudo and the Depths)
That’s a great list! I just learned the other day that you can use fused Korok rocks to solve puzzles-I’m going to have to mess around with that some more.
Weapons - - white/silver lynel saber horn on Gerudo Scimitar of the Seven for extra damage boost (can be used to cut down tree enemies in 1 fell) - Molduga Jaw on Scimitar of the Seven (or high damage weapons of your choice) for extra damage boost (when used with bone armor) + blunt damage (can break ores in 1 hit if it has more than 40 damage-per-hit on a single-handed weapon) - cannon fused on a long-throw spear/sturdy wooden stick (for easy aiming/ shooting of cannons if you don't want to use it on a shield) ** extra weapons if you have slots: - Elemental items on Eightfold longblade (creates a gust of wind with elemental effects) * using Gleeok horns for no down time/ cooldown - dazzlefruit on a forest dweller sword/spear (best used on stal enemies, can be reused + instant death on stals) -ve point: it has a downtime so can't be used immediately unlike thrown objects
@@LionsShareYTthanks for the reply! sometimes if I have the slots, I'll have 1 rock fused on my shield and 1 on my weapon, in case there're puzzles that needed 2 rocks. Or if I'm lazy to carry a rock, I'll just unfuse a random on my weapon/shield and fuse the rock, then once solved, I'll unfuse the rock to get back the fused weapon/shield of choice. XD
It's far from the highest DPS, but Royal Weapon + Ice Gleeok Horn gets surprisingly high DPS on a flurry rush due to the multiplier against frozen targets
Haha yeah, I started off so well but then I fell off. Gotta get back to it. The only thing i dont like is that i got punished for exploring. I explored alot, and then did 2 temples but I think my exploring has kinda fucked up my game. Because all enemies are really really strong, so its really hard to farm materials to upgrade gear now. @@LionsShareYT
Subscribed! Brilliant stuff, my friend! I knew a couple of these but the stake and hover stone arrows really blew my mind. Don't know why I never thought of that. Dazzlefruit Forest spear has been a favorite for a long time. Stal enemies? I don't know her. 😉
fusing ice elementals onto royal weapons makes them do bonkers damage during flurry rush as every 2nd hit is a crit that breaks the ice I think gleeok horns are best for this as their ice effect has no cooldown
When I first bought the game, I was so excited to try fusing an ice material to my shield and see if it would let me shield surf on water, but was disappointed to find that nothing happens But there's still plenty you can do with ice sheets made with water, like Fuse ice onto a weapon for both pseudo-Cryonis and a fan weapon, use Ultrahand and Recall to make the ice a moving platform that can get you distance or height (especially with the help of Ascend), or, for a much more niche application, maybe you can include an ice sheet in an Autobuild as a timer, where when the ice melts, the things it's connected to get disconnected I've never once used ice sheets as a timer for Autobuild creations (in fact, I literally just came up with the idea right now lol), but it'd be interesting to see what's possible with that 🤔
Had an new idea to add to this: have a flame emitter pointed at the ice, so that the ice melts faster Maybe you could have some things get propelled by rockets or wheels, then split off within a few seconds 🤔
i'm not very far into the game yet, but i learned a few very neat things i would probably not thought about trying, like the frozen meat shield or the balloons. they are generally mostly useless so i tend to forget about them. I like the boomerang trick and i'll give a shot to the smoke mushrooms too !
I usually use gleeok horns for boomerangs they have the same effect as keese and aroukooda wings on a boomerang (extra range) and do the same thing as a bunch of the zonal parts
I think the Gleeok Wings give the extra distance. I’m pretty sure the horns are just very powerful elemental damage. Plus, Zonai parts are more accessible for most players.
Those rolling devices dropped after defeating a flux construct fused to a shield are very effective against the little stone taluses of any element. Just perform a shield attack and they are gone without hurting you (even miasma). Big lightning flowers are super helpful if attached to any flying device while exploring the depth, because they dont't need battery and still light while just parking on the ground.
I love the lizalfos boomerang because if you attach the right parts to it then it will pretty much turn it into a sword that can still be thrown and come back.
Didn't know about the honeycomb arrows! I imagine that it would be beneficial when coming upon a camp of resting monsters whose weapons are nearby; if they are sent running, they won't grab for their weapons
A ruby on your shield causes an explosion when you parry or block, and isn't used up like bombs. It also keeps you warm in cold environment. Sapphire freezes enemies instead, and keeps you cool in warm environments, and it doesn't thaw.
An easier way to traverse water with ice is to fuse an ice blade to your eightfold long blade. One slash should create many blocks of ice. A rod works too. That said, I knew all these points except the brightbloom which is superseded by placing it on your hoverbike. Great video all the same.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. It’s a fair point about the eightfold longblade. I like to include some of these things more because they are neat and could come in handy, depending on your materials.
Fun fact, if you have sidon use his power on you your wetness effect will apply to the bomb arrows which does let you use them in magma places apparently. Not sure about bomb spears tho. Sidon's bubble also apparently makes electric arrows always do the big electric attack that they do when they hit water/metal
@@LionsShareYT I know and same as Skyrim I wish never played on the computer cause of how easy it was to cheat, but now I have to kill multiple Lynals as I can’t just duplicate their drops ahhhh
So you reminded me of the time Mineru sent a Bokoblin to space right before I was able to hit it with the cannon I attached to her arm. I laughed extremely hard. There was also the time I froze an electric Lizalfos and it started sliding away from me before GOING AROUND A CORNER!
@@LionsShareYT the Bokoblin wasn't what hit the ground, the drops fell out of the sky. that Electric Lizalfos really confused me though, I have NO CLUE what caused it to start sliding around.
Radiant Shields and Gerudo Shields are the best standard shields for surfing, as they lose significantly less durability from friction than other standard shields. When used only for surfing, Radiant Shields have the highest durability of all standard shields. I keep a set of Radiant Shields with various surfing fusions such as Mining Carts, Zonai Carts, Frozen Hearty Salmon, etc. As for legendary shields, the Hylian Shield wins through sheer total durability; but I don't have it yet, so I keep a Frozen Hearty Salmon on my Daybreaker for when I want to be fancy.
8:18 honestly an improvement is using Lizalfos tails. You get a higher damage buff, still get elemental effects, and while the zonai devices don't need a direct hit, the tails add significant size to the boomerang hit box. Seriously throw a giant boomerang with an Ice Lizalfos tail and try to miss the the enemy.
People keep talking about hover stone arrows, but I’ve never even seen hover stones, and I’ve been playing the game like non stop for the last 3 weeks.
4:05 one bursting item that can work with the forest dwellers weapons is courser honey, at least i believe it’s one uses last time i could remember, it can summon an army of bees to attack other enemies, as for more practical uses it has been used in conjunction with pulse lasers to reach insane levels of damage but i’m not the right person to explain how that works 5:15 the wind clever has two other combinations you have haven’t covered yet, you can fuse a muddle bud to a wind clever to muddle you enemies with its air slashes, which works for some reason, just don’t directly hit you enemies with the actual weapon so to not break the muddle bud on it another fusion can be the wind clever with a gibdo bone, the gibdo bone turns the wind clever into a mace like weapon, all you need to do is to hit enemy with a spinning charge attack to break the gibdo bone and you’ll become a useless but fun spinning whirlwind
I talked about courser bee honey later in the video. It doesn’t count as a bursting item, though. Someone else did mention the muddlebud + windcleaver combo (which I had missed), but the gibdo bone one is interesting! I feel like that probably works only because the gibdo bone instantly breaks on first hit, forcing the windcleaver to return to its prior state while you’re locked into a spin.
@@LionsShareYT Fair enough! I'm just making sure you knew because I've seen a fair few videos like this where they just didn't know gleeok horns existed. Either way you've earned yourself a subscriber!
Elemental lizal horn weapons don't lose durability if they don't hit anything, but still produce the effect. I have ones for ice and fire for utility purposes.
While it's more of a handy Autobuild schematic than a weapon fuse, I really like taking a bundle of firewood and attaching a red chu jelly on one long end and a pinecone on the other. Autobuild it with the chu jelly facing down and you have an instant Revali's Gale. I know rocket shields are quicker to use, but these three components are much more common and won't wear your shields out.
Stake arrows are also useful for getting back to low sky islands you fall off. Fire the arrow to the ground as you fall off the sky island then when it hits the ground, stand on the stake and recall it back to the sky island.
By the way if you want to get the 5th sage super early. Just go to the area where in Botw the lake with the shock dragon comes out of the lake, depending on what side you approach, a piece of falling rock will drop down just below the waterfall that has a shrine in it in Botw. The falling rock will lead you to thunder dragon Island where you will need 10 ❤ to open the door and use the guide stone that will lead you to the 5th sage area and completely avoid the main story line. 😢🎉🎉
Hylian shield with fire dragon shard. It breaks rock/crate/armor, gives you fire to light camp, can create an updraft with pin/piment mushroom, deals damage while parying, doesn't conduct electricity (attract lightning tho), doesn't burn, one shot fire enemies, warms you in cold environment, has 800 durability and is repairable with oktorock as it is. Most useful fuse in the game 👌
I never used any to test it, but I always assumed the forest dweller weapons were for other weapons. Specifically for like gloom weapons, since they could act like a hilt so you don't take the gloom damage, and recover the broken sword tip when it ran out of durability.
To cross water, I have an eightfold longblade with an ice lizalfos horn, ice dragon horns might work better but with a full charge attack it’s INSANELY useful
GREAT video I didn't now about the ice meat shield and a few others. Have tried FIRE / ICE dragon spines on shields ? can keep you warm or cold if you don't want to change clothes or weapons
i dont think anyone has found this yet which is wild but there is a secret spot on the tail of the final boss dragon fight which has a scale you can harvest and fuse its really strong and has a unique effect
Something I’d like to see a vid on is how to properly use light dragon parts. When fused to a weapon, they heal you with each hit (but iirc it’s like a meager quarter heart). Would be cool if there was a way to make it heal for more.
I believe you can fuse a spear to other weapons to massively increase its range AND attack at the same time, plus it keeps the cutting edge, which is good when you need to cut a lot of grass. Also, I don’t think people realize that a star fragment is used to create a light wand for the depths. It’s niche, but interesting.
It isn’t as cool as some other fusions, but a colgera jaw (only obtained via the rematches) with a giant boomerang lets you gave an EVEN MORE GIANT boomerang, which makes aiming a thing of the past.
It actually very much is up there with the coolest boomerang fusions, as a Colgera Jaw-Giant Boomerang not only adds a larger hitbox and high damage, but also insane multihit potential which massively boosts the potential damage from a single throw. Aiming slightly to the right of an enemy and aligning Link such that the boomerang would strike the enemy on its return (far easier to do than it sounds) can land 5-7 hits to that enemy -- and still multihit other enemies within the throw arc at the same time. Also: boomerang orbit throw
@@LionsShareYT I usually use rocket shields in the depths..to fight froxes and stone taluses...and I use lynel bows to fire multiple bloomseeds at once.. so much to figure out in this game !
Ice keese wings on boomerangs make crossing water faster than the video suggestion. You get a long trail of ice blocks vs. having to attack for each block
@@briancouvillion926 you know, I think someone said that the other day, too. It’s a good idea. I don’t know if anyone had thought of that yet when I made the video, though.
Stake arrows are also useful for korok transport. Shoot one from the endpoint to the korok, attach it to the stake, then rewind the stake to send the korok flying right to his friend!

...but can't you do the same with any item? Shoot an apple fused to an arrow, then attach the korok and recall the apple?
Never would have guessed you could aim cannon weapons
You can fuse muddle buds to the eightfold blade and as long as direct contact is not made with he sword, the wind gusts will provide the muddle effect at a range.
That’s insane! I’m gonna have to give that one a try!
@@LionsShareYTif your gonna try that why not the puff shroom as well?

Interesting!
wow! I tried that first with an extra magic rod in my inventory and never knew they would attack you otherwise.
Wait... Does that mean you then have a swarm of bees to help you fight enemies?!
@@benblackforestwoodco2340 Yup

Tried this it worked so well I got a silver book low enough to easily finish off
Ice with giant boomerang is great for traversing water
Soaring boomerang works with pretty much any boomerang + wing combo, also the Zonai device wing. There even is a large boomerang fused with a Zonai wing inside a chest on Eventide island.
@@OrangeX2omg just left there and didn’t know what to do so i left it in the chest 😅
You can also fuse Boomerangs with Hydrants. Takes care of sludge and magma without expending durability or hydro fruits
I bet that’s really helpful for Mucktorok rematches.
@@LionsShareYT And here I was just planning on using a Homing Cart, a Big Wheel, and a pair of Hydrants. Maybe a pair of Shock Emitters in the front for contact damage, and a stabilizer if it turns out top heavy. Haven't done any of the rematches myself yet, just planning for them.

Subscribed! Brilliant stuff, my friend! I knew a couple of these but the stake and hover stone arrows really blew my mind. Don't know why I never thought of that. Dazzlefruit Forest spear has been a favorite for a long time. Stal enemies? I don't know her. 😉
Thanks! I’m glad I could help!
How, how, how am I still learning new things about this game after playing it or a year.
It just has SOO many things.
The boomerange thing is really cool. I would have never thought of that.
It’s a nice way to get those elemental effects from a safe distance. Glad I could help!
Thank you for making this video. Awesome tips 😁.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the video!
This was really useful. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Definitely add the link to the first video in the description!
Thanks for the suggestion!
fusing ice elementals onto royal weapons makes them do bonkers damage during flurry rush as every 2nd hit is a crit that breaks the ice
I think gleeok horns are best for this as their ice effect has no cooldown
That’s a great point! Yes, Gleeok horns are busted.
When I first bought the game, I was so excited to try fusing an ice material to my shield and see if it would let me shield surf on water, but was disappointed to find that nothing happens
But there's still plenty you can do with ice sheets made with water, like Fuse ice onto a weapon for both pseudo-Cryonis and a fan weapon, use Ultrahand and Recall to make the ice a moving platform that can get you distance or height (especially with the help of Ascend), or, for a much more niche application, maybe you can include an ice sheet in an Autobuild as a timer, where when the ice melts, the things it's connected to get disconnected
I've never once used ice sheets as a timer for Autobuild creations (in fact, I literally just came up with the idea right now lol), but it'd be interesting to see what's possible with that 🤔
That timer is a neat idea. Like a time release trap or something for enemies.
Had an new idea to add to this: have a flame emitter pointed at the ice, so that the ice melts faster
Maybe you could have some things get propelled by rockets or wheels, then split off within a few seconds 🤔
I love videos like this - esp for novice players like me. Thanks.
@@a016202 glad you enjoyed it!
Really cool video 🔥
Will try these out
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Ooh the Gerodu music for the intro got me grooving lol
Gerudo Valley has one of the best themes for sure.
i'm not very far into the game yet, but i learned a few very neat things i would probably not thought about trying, like the frozen meat shield or the balloons. they are generally mostly useless so i tend to forget about them. I like the boomerang trick and i'll give a shot to the smoke mushrooms too !
There’s just so much you can do in this game! Glad you found some good tips!
Mind blown! So many great ideas!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the info. I have no idea how to use all the monster parts I've collected. A video on how to use those parts would be greatly appreciated.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’ll think about a video for monster parts. :)
OMG NEW VIDEO YAYYYY!
Don't have the gave myself but I luv watching ur vids XD
It’s good to be back! :)
These are very cool fuses!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I usually use gleeok horns for boomerangs they have the same effect as keese and aroukooda wings on a boomerang (extra range) and do the same thing as a bunch of the zonal parts
I think the Gleeok Wings give the extra distance. I’m pretty sure the horns are just very powerful elemental damage. Plus, Zonai parts are more accessible for most players.
Brilliant video! I learned a ton of new cool stuff. Tyvm
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Those rolling devices dropped after defeating a flux construct fused to a shield are very effective against the little stone taluses of any element. Just perform a shield attack and they are gone without hurting you (even miasma).
Big lightning flowers are super helpful if attached to any flying device while exploring the depth, because they dont't need battery and still light while just parking on the ground.
Yep! Those are helpful as well!
I love the lizalfos boomerang because if you attach the right parts to it then it will pretty much turn it into a sword that can still be thrown and come back.
Agreed
Didn't know about the honeycomb arrows! I imagine that it would be beneficial when coming upon a camp of resting monsters whose weapons are nearby; if they are sent running, they won't grab for their weapons
Oh, excellent point! I wish I’d thought of that to include in the video!
A ruby on your shield causes an explosion when you parry or block, and isn't used up like bombs. It also keeps you warm in cold environment. Sapphire freezes enemies instead, and keeps you cool in warm environments, and it doesn't thaw.
@@Denamic yep. Gem fusions are great. :)
Great video! Tightly scripted and informative.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. :)
An easier way to traverse water with ice is to fuse an ice blade to your eightfold long blade. One slash should create many blocks of ice. A rod works too.
That said, I knew all these points except the brightbloom which is superseded by placing it on your hoverbike. Great video all the same.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. It’s a fair point about the eightfold longblade. I like to include some of these things more because they are neat and could come in handy, depending on your materials.
Arrow Cannons are particularly most useful when you can't use regular bombs in extremely hot areas, but still want to blow stuff up.
Fair point. Always good not to blow yourself up.
I mean, fuse that cannon to a weapon and you get a lot more uses out of it, but I guess it’s good for a long range explosion.
Fun fact, if you have sidon use his power on you your wetness effect will apply to the bomb arrows which does let you use them in magma places apparently. Not sure about bomb spears tho. Sidon's bubble also apparently makes electric arrows always do the big electric attack that they do when they hit water/metal
I usually just go with Yunobomons roll attack
Cannon spears u aim to throw the spear and it shoots the Canon wherever your pointing
I knew most about these fusions actually, save for the forest weapons. Reusing giant brightbloom seeds without any cost sounds way too OP!
@@myaawp3358 glad I was still able to provide some new info!
Great video! Turns out I haven’t been using boomerangs the way I should have
Thanks! Boomerangs are definitely underrated a lot.
Played so much of this game and watching makes me want to play again. But since I accidentally updated I was kinda miffed
I think there’s still plenty of fun to be had without the major glitches
@@LionsShareYT I know and same as Skyrim I wish never played on the computer cause of how easy it was to cheat, but now I have to kill multiple Lynals as I can’t just duplicate their drops ahhhh
So you reminded me of the time Mineru sent a Bokoblin to space right before I was able to hit it with the cannon I attached to her arm. I laughed extremely hard. There was also the time I froze an electric Lizalfos and it started sliding away from me before GOING AROUND A CORNER!
@@alexkuhn5188 that’s awesome!
@@LionsShareYT the Bokoblin wasn't what hit the ground, the drops fell out of the sky. that Electric Lizalfos really confused me though, I have NO CLUE what caused it to start sliding around.
That last one IS an ice trick; a really nice trick! 😂
🤣
Amazing video. I hardly ever use shield surfing tbh because your shield wears down so quick and I usually just glide down things.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Also, fair point about shield surfing. I mostly use it if it’s going to be faster.
If you use a minecart or zonai cart shield to ride on rails it won't use any durability, as long as you only use it on rails
Radiant Shields and Gerudo Shields are the best standard shields for surfing, as they lose significantly less durability from friction than other standard shields.
When used only for surfing, Radiant Shields have the highest durability of all standard shields.
I keep a set of Radiant Shields with various surfing fusions such as Mining Carts, Zonai Carts, Frozen Hearty Salmon, etc.
As for legendary shields, the Hylian Shield wins through sheer total durability; but I don't have it yet, so I keep a Frozen Hearty Salmon on my Daybreaker for when I want to be fancy.
I bet the octo balloons would work with multi-shot bows that spread further
I did try that. I think it doesn’t work because they don’t want players using multi-shot bows to duplicate items.
8:18 honestly an improvement is using Lizalfos tails. You get a higher damage buff, still get elemental effects, and while the zonai devices don't need a direct hit, the tails add significant size to the boomerang hit box.
Seriously throw a giant boomerang with an Ice Lizalfos tail and try to miss the the enemy.
Yeah, a couple other people mentioned the same thing. It’s a great point.
Thanks @PointCrow for teaching me about the long blade
He does try a lot of things
People keep talking about hover stone arrows, but I’ve never even seen hover stones, and I’ve been playing the game like non stop for the last 3 weeks.
You can only get them from like one or two Zonai device dispensers. I think one of them is on the way to the water temple.
Didn't know that brightblooms could reuse on a forest dweller weapon. Will keep in mind if I start a fresh playthrough someday
Glad I could help!
4:05 one bursting item that can work with the forest dwellers weapons is courser honey, at least i believe it’s one uses last time i could remember, it can summon an army of bees to attack other enemies, as for more practical uses it has been used in conjunction with pulse lasers to reach insane levels of damage but i’m not the right person to explain how that works
5:15 the wind clever has two other combinations you have haven’t covered yet, you can fuse a muddle bud to a wind clever to muddle you enemies with its air slashes, which works for some reason, just don’t directly hit you enemies with the actual weapon so to not break the muddle bud on it
another fusion can be the wind clever with a gibdo bone, the gibdo bone turns the wind clever into a mace like weapon, all you need to do is to hit enemy with a spinning charge attack to break the gibdo bone and you’ll become a useless but fun spinning whirlwind
I talked about courser bee honey later in the video. It doesn’t count as a bursting item, though. Someone else did mention the muddlebud + windcleaver combo (which I had missed), but the gibdo bone one is interesting! I feel like that probably works only because the gibdo bone instantly breaks on first hit, forcing the windcleaver to return to its prior state while you’re locked into a spin.
Yolu forgot to point out that stake arrows are awesome with recall time ability - you can use it to travel back from where you shot the arrow
True, though this is true of numerous fusions.
Great video but the zonai emitters are kinda pointless when gleeok horns do the same thing but with 30 extra damage and they don't drain your battery.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! It’s a fair point, but Zonai emitters are more accessible. Gleeok Horns take a bit more skill to obtain.
@@LionsShareYT Fair enough! I'm just making sure you knew because I've seen a fair few videos like this where they just didn't know gleeok horns existed. Either way you've earned yourself a subscriber!
Background music is from skyward sword pumpkin Tavern during octo balloon part
Yeah, I’m pretty fond of SS music.
Elemental lizal horn weapons don't lose durability if they don't hit anything, but still produce the effect. I have ones for ice and fire for utility purposes.
That’s a good detail.
While it's more of a handy Autobuild schematic than a weapon fuse, I really like taking a bundle of firewood and attaching a red chu jelly on one long end and a pinecone on the other. Autobuild it with the chu jelly facing down and you have an instant Revali's Gale. I know rocket shields are quicker to use, but these three components are much more common and won't wear your shields out.
@@Acradius that’s a nice tip! Is the bundle of wood actually necessary though? Does the red chu jelly not burst without it?
@@LionsShareYT You know I haven't tried it without the wood, if I get a chance I'll do it tonight.
Stake arrows are also useful for getting back to low sky islands you fall off. Fire the arrow to the ground as you fall off the sky island then when it hits the ground, stand on the stake and recall it back to the sky island.
Yeah, the recall tip is a great tip I definitely should have included.
By the way if you want to get the 5th sage super early. Just go to the area where in Botw the lake with the shock dragon comes out of the lake, depending on what side you approach, a piece of falling rock will drop down just below the waterfall that has a shrine in it in Botw. The falling rock will lead you to thunder dragon Island where you will need 10 ❤ to open the door and use the guide stone that will lead you to the 5th sage area and completely avoid the main story line. 😢🎉🎉
Yep
I got Mineru before Yunobo😂
Mineru was my first one lol
Hylian shield with fire dragon shard. It breaks rock/crate/armor, gives you fire to light camp, can create an updraft with pin/piment mushroom, deals damage while parying, doesn't conduct electricity (attract lightning tho), doesn't burn, one shot fire enemies, warms you in cold environment, has 800 durability and is repairable with oktorock as it is. Most useful fuse in the game 👌
That’s a great point!
Zonai Hydrant boomerang is amazing against Mucktorok
Yeah, I could see that
I never used any to test it, but I always assumed the forest dweller weapons were for other weapons. Specifically for like gloom weapons, since they could act like a hilt so you don't take the gloom damage, and recover the broken sword tip when it ran out of durability.
I’m pretty sure that doesn’t work, but I’ll test it out. It’s an interesting idea!
you can also fuse octo balloons to shields to lift yourself up a bit. this is useful for climbing in the rain and cheating in some shrines
Yep! I covered that in a previous video.
Thank you for this!
My pleasure! Glad I could help!
To cross water, I have an eightfold longblade with an ice lizalfos horn, ice dragon horns might work better but with a full charge attack it’s INSANELY useful
@@Nokunanolane nice!
GREAT video
I didn't now about the ice meat shield and a few others. Have tried FIRE / ICE dragon spines on shields ? can keep you warm or cold if you don't want to change clothes or weapons
@@MikearoniGrill thanks! I do know about dragon spikes on shields. :)
Link looks like Aladdin with that sled in the desert.
I see it
Damn, you’re so much more creative than me. Did I even play the same game as you???
There’s so much you can do, it can definitely feel like a different game depending on how you play.
These developers deserve many good things
For real. You can tell a lot of love went into this game.
i dont think anyone has found this yet which is wild but there is a secret spot on the tail of the final boss dragon fight which has a scale you can harvest and fuse its really strong and has a unique effect
I’ll look into that.
Now I can strike fear into any Bokoblin with the honey arrows 😂
@@thekraken8082 Bokoblin: Beekeeper Link can’t hurt you. Beekeeper Link isn’t real.
Something I’d like to see a vid on is how to properly use light dragon parts. When fused to a weapon, they heal you with each hit (but iirc it’s like a meager quarter heart). Would be cool if there was a way to make it heal for more.
It is a quarter heart, and as far as I know there’s not anyway to increase that amount, but I’ll look into it! Thanks for the suggestion!
The video was great but you can put an oocto balloon on your shield to cheat shrines
Yeah, I talked about the Octo-Balloon Shield in a previous video
I believe you can fuse a spear to other weapons to massively increase its range AND attack at the same time, plus it keeps the cutting edge, which is good when you need to cut a lot of grass. Also, I don’t think people realize that a star fragment is used to create a light wand for the depths. It’s niche, but interesting.
Both of those are great! The light wand is really nice. :)
U can attach muddle buds to any weapon with the wind scythe attack and just use the wind attack to confuse them without using up the bud
Yeah, I unfortunately learned about that one after I made this video, or it definitely would have been included.
If you add the ice sheets to your weapon, it won't thaw in cold areas meaning you get a free frost effect
Well, yeah. But I find that I’m more prone to using fire weapons in the cold for the passive temperature buff.
It isn’t as cool as some other fusions, but a colgera jaw (only obtained via the rematches) with a giant boomerang lets you gave an EVEN MORE GIANT boomerang, which makes aiming a thing of the past.
That’s nice. The bigger, the better.
It actually very much is up there with the coolest boomerang fusions, as a Colgera Jaw-Giant Boomerang not only adds a larger hitbox and high damage, but also insane multihit potential which massively boosts the potential damage from a single throw.
Aiming slightly to the right of an enemy and aligning Link such that the boomerang would strike the enemy on its return (far easier to do than it sounds) can land 5-7 hits to that enemy -- and still multihit other enemies within the throw arc at the same time.
Also: boomerang orbit throw
Yeeeaaah boooyyyy that rocket shield really makes up for not having revali's gale anymore
And you don’t have to wait for it to recharge. As long as you have a rocket, you can go up!
@@LionsShareYT I usually use rocket shields in the depths..to fight froxes and stone taluses...and I use lynel bows to fire multiple bloomseeds at once.. so much to figure out in this game !
Ice keese wings on boomerangs make crossing water faster than the video suggestion. You get a long trail of ice blocks vs. having to attack for each block
@@briancouvillion926 you know, I think someone said that the other day, too. It’s a good idea. I don’t know if anyone had thought of that yet when I made the video, though.
