Nobody really knows this but if you attach a lizalfos elemental horn to an eightfold longblade, your ranged wind attack will switch to the element of the horn you used. You can basically make an elemental katana and do some anime stuff with it.
@@umbralember if you use the electric lizalfos with sidon's thing with eightfold i'm pretty sure it makes the lightning bubble thing which has a huge radius.
I not only know this, I commented on one of Austin's previous video when asking about a Property In-Depth guide since many things seem to change properties and have unexpected effects depending on what they are fused to or used with. Arrows act differently than melee or Shields too.
Beam Frost Flame and Shock emitters on a boomerang won't hit yourself when thrown, and they also won't use the durability of the boomerang as long as the boomerang itself doesn't hit anything. I didn't try a rocket though.
Turns out, if you fuse a hinox toenail to an arrow, you can actually use it to cut down trees in one shot. You even get your arrow and toenail back afterwards
@@default9028 The Yiga trees actually refer to a specific type of Yiga trap you can find on the side of the road consisting of bananas as bait and three very sick looking trees which are disguised Yiga. Lol if you come across one you can actually smack the trees for dialogue. The three I know of are in these spots: slightly North of Kakariko Bridge, the road leading South East of Tabantha Bridge Stable, and a short journey North of the Bridge of Hylea. So in conclusion Evermeans aren't disguised Yiga, it's a common misconception.
I discovered you can fuse the bookshelf in the Hyrule library. It wasn't very good or useful but I got to beat monsters with a bookshelf so that was pretty cool
You defeated them with knowledge. Did you know the almighty bookshelf in Hyrule Castle in Breath of the Wild can one shot a Stalnox if you hit them with it right?
Another important bit regarding "shatter": to break enemy armor more efficiently. A portable pot arrow will disintegrate enemy armor in one hit on everything but Lynels.
Some tips! For the tails/whips, putting them on a boomerang makes them much easier to hit when thrown. For stuff like Muddlebuds and Puffshrooms, if you attach them to Forest Dweller weapons, they recharge and can be used over and over (doesn't work with Ancient blades or Gibdo bones)
For anyone interested in this, you can see exactly what items do and don’t work with it on the spreadsheet, the ones that work have a special tag that he ignored for the video for some reason
@@Raeve_Master One I like is the Giant Brightbloom Seed. Those things have a huge light range, and adding them to a Forest Dweller Spear gives you 49 (decayed) / 60 (pristine) uses out of a single seed, more if you get a weapon with a durability bonus. BTW, the full list of things you can reuse with Forest Dweller weapons are all five kinds of elemental fruit, all four kinds of ChuChu Jellies, the two sizes of Brightbloom Seeds, the Puffshroom, and the Muddle Bud.
I know you used the Master Sword as a reference, but I think it’s worth noting that the Dazzle Fruit, Muddle Bud, and Puffshroom become far more useful on the Forrest Dweller’s weapons since they have the recyclability you don’t lose them, and they can be reused…. So just use puffsroom and then sneak strike everything.
@@belot217 the spring is a bounce, the wing you jump higher when you shield jump, and the spring only works once. Granted, the wing doesn't give you very much bullet time, but you can do it infinitely many times
Except it doesn’t require any optimal calculated combat because it’s so Fkn easy you can just tank through any attacks with enough hearts and upgraded armor. The game is incredible but the difficulty is a joke
@@Ari19904Then make it difficult for yourself, force yourself to use un-upgraded armour, or force yourself to stay on 3 or 4 hearts for the full game, maybe limit your damage by not fusing at all except for fused weapons dropped by monsters, etc
I tend to use the gibdo bones as arrowheads. It actually works out fairly well if you have a lot, and/or a bow that fires multiple shots. There are fuses that are better as arrowheads, and one-hit wonders are usually best used on arrows, unless you have an ancient blade and are desperate. Then there's "Learning What Will and Won't Activate a Zora Weapon's Special Effect", which I've made heavy use of.
I'm bummed snow doesn't turn Zora weapon on. Snow is cold water! But since we treat water and ice as two separate elements, I can accept that snowfall is an icy condition, not water condition
Minor correction: Muddle Bud and Puffshroom can be used more than once on a weapon or shield conditionally. If you slap them on the Forest Dweller gear it won't destroy them but instead put them on a 5 second cooldown. A rather fun weapon to play revolves around using a Forest Dweller weapon to set off a Puffshroom then using an Eightfold Longblade (w/ good fuse) to absolutely annihilate nearly anything. It legit turns you into a Yiga ninja.
This tends to be the best way to defeat silver enemies as it's 1 durability for the puffshroom and 1 on the sword to defeat the enemy. There doesn't seem to be a way to defeat silver enemies in less than 2 durability otherwise.
I could be wrong, but I don't think we've been able to weaponize bees in a Zelda game to this extent since A Link to the Past, where you could catch one in a bottle.
I'm tired and had a massive brainfart just now. I was about to say I thought you could do it in Wind Waker and realized I was thinking of MGS3. Honestly not sure how those wires got crossed
@@makeitthrough_ In note there’s a couple specific spots in the game where bokoblins are near a courser bee honey on a tree & knocking it down from range assuming the bokoblins are closer to that tree will cause them to flee in fear from the closing in bees
Weaponizing bees is the best thing since weaponizing fishing poles, which I'm still sad we can't do in these games. RIP cheesing the Ganondorf fight by pulling out a fishing pole and distracting him like a cat with a laser pointer
6:30 -About Beehive, if you fuse them to Rods, the bees coming out are not going to hit you. Just like Ruby behave differently with a Rod instead of all other weapons.- I was wrong. I probably did my test in peaceful area (where bees don't attack you) and extrapolated without conducting more tests. Sadly, Bees still attack you even if you fuse with a Rod. It seems that Rods don't do much: same duration, same damage, same "resistance", still 1 maximum bee swarm. You can summon more than 1 bee swarm by switching back and forth the weapon, tricking the game enough to allow more than 1 bee swarm.
Oh wow! Just like the golden bees from Link to the Past. Annoying, though, that honey is a “gem” that’s Upgraded by the rods, but amber, diamond and dragon spikes aren’t.
21:09 - For anyone curious, I’m pretty sure that “wood” Ball is the yellow floating ball you’ve probably encountered in a few water-based shrines. I made myself a ball club/sword using it. Pretty out of place, but nifty for breaking rocks
Distinguishing what counts as a burst item and what does not would make using the Forrest Dweller's spear a bit more intuitive. Reusing things like Muddlebuds infinitely would be super cool. I also wanted to point out that the Gleeock horns have a much larger hitbox on 2 handed weapons
Muddlebuds work yes. Copying from @FabioCapela 's comment: "BTW, the full list of things you can reuse with Forest Dweller weapons are all five kinds of elemental fruit, all four kinds of ChuChu Jellies, the two sizes of Brightbloom Seeds, the Puffshroom, and the Muddle Bud. "
One category that might have been worth mentioning was "reuse seed", which is all the items that benefit from the Forest Dweller weapons ability to use "burstable" fuses over and over.
It’s a blessing cuz I go through RUclips phases where I’ll play one specific type or genre of video nonstop for weeks. I transitioned into TOTK-tube like a week ago and there’s already enough content to keep me going near infinite
yeah i would like to know what i should be putting on my shields. so far i just use rockets, other shields, or armor chunks. gotta know if a 2nd shield is better than armor chunk
...you can use armor chunks from Bokoblins and Lynels as well as Stone Talus Hearts fused on to shields to parry-mine ores. It's fun, 'cuz I don't feel like I waste the low-damage-add of Talus Hearts on an ore-mining-specific weapon.....
@@Hawkypoo I dont think fusing two shields actually does anything? Maybe extra durability. But probably just +25 max like with any item. And armor shards add thorns damage I think Icy meat on shield = best shieldsurf in the game. Even beating skateboard imo
Hello Austin John…I am a 64 year old grandma and I have loved video games my whole life. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the videos you make. It took me some time to find someone who I can watch their videos with my grandkids and not have to worry about the language they are going to hear. Also I am very impressed by the amount of work you do with the games you do the videos on.
I actually like fusing shields to the Master Sword, because it feels closer to the Link we see in the cutscenes, where he uses the sword alone. The hidden fuse helps sell the look.
Since it's not mentioned on the video because the base weapon used is the Master Sword... if the Forest Dweller Sword/Spear is used for plant-based materials, it will not be destroyed in one hit or so. Although not the best in terms of stats, they can turn into one of the best utility weapons out there.
with puffshroom, it's way more than utility; being able to sneakstrike everything all the time makes it one of the safest, highest consistent DPS against specific types of enemies.
I was really disappointed that the light from the star fragment doesn't damage stal enemies and gibdos. What I was looking for in this was more of the subtle effects, like fusing meat to an arrow to attract enemies. You also missed dazzlefruit, which must have some kind of code since it has so many unique effects in the world. Perhaps another video about the effects of items on arrows?
It's just mind blowing seeing the hard work that Nintendo put into the fusion system. It's even more mind blowing knowing that fusing is still only one feature beside many other features that have also been extensively worked on in detail
I’m pretty sure the gleeoc horns actually have a deceptively long hit box. If I’m not mistaken they make a “blade” that materializes out of their respective elements
The most professional Zelda/gamer streamer on the planet. Right here, ladies and gentlemen right here. Your efforts are not unnoticed. Well done. Really enjoyed this one Austin
"You might be surprised about the hinox toenail" meanwhile me having gone half my playthrough always having one attached to a weapon after a traumatic encounter with an evermean in the rain
The 829 Fusibles. Wish you could Shiny Hunt them, Like a Shiny Fusidex. Cause 829 is almost the of amount Pokémon that exist, you're giving me hope Austin. Shiny Fusibles in Tomorrow's Nintendo Direct, I'm sure of it.
The beehive actually was one of the first things I tried out with the Fuse ability. And I was delighted that something like this happened. Those details are why I love Nintendo games
I know this video is only about the master sword. But as for those one use items. Bright Bloom Seeds, Muddlebuds, puff Shrooms etc. put them on the Forrest dweller weapons. They allow you to reuse that item indefinitely (to my knowledge) it does take a little bit of recharge time. But it’s useful. I have a Forrest Dweller Sword fused with a Giant Bright Bloom, it comes in handy when you need or want to light something up without using materials. The bright bloom after being used isn’t lit up anymore but after it recharges it’ll flash and be bright again.
15:45 I prefer doing this with spears than with double-handed weapons because of how quickly Link can attack from a defensive stance & go back into a defensive stance after attacking. The Zonaite Spear & Zonaite shield are great because the attack power goes up.
As I fused an octoballoon to my shield this morning I realized there was so much more that I was just starting to figure out could be fused, and this video dropped AS I was thinking about it. Truly good at your job sir.
Didn't know Hinox Toenails also worked as axes! I've just been going "Well, they're large, flat, and mostly shield-shaped, so why not glue one onto the front of my shield?"
I saw someone say how icy prime meat was the best shield surfing item from their experience, but looking at the spreadsheet it seems there's only one slipperiness up trait so i guess they're all the same and icy prime meat is just easy to carry around to fuse later Edit: apparently radiant shield is slipperiness up too, but it would also make a better shield. As does shield of the minds eye, which gives me a use for them now too
I just want to take a moment to thank Austin for making your video on the fusible weapons in Tears of the Kingdom. I'm a big fan of the game, and I was really struggling to figure out what all the different fusions did. Your video was incredibly helpful, and it made a huge difference in my understanding of the game.
TotK content is the first time I've ever heard about this channel but this guy is KILLING it. Keep up the great work, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Releasing videos at an almost dizzying pace, with high quality content. Long enough to be thorough, short enough to warrant watching all the way through. Great job.
A light dragon spike makes for a wonderful spear hammer. Heals you when breaking rocks, has that shatter effect, and is super easy to get. Probably my favorite fuse in the game.
@@Ordinaryhumanbeing-cg5vx Both. So if I fuse a beam emitter to a weapon, the entire beam deals the weapons damage instead at range? But yeah, I mostly meant the beam emitter and cannon compared to weapons. how many beam emitters have the same DPS as the master sword, for example
@@aldoushuxley5953 yes, the entire beam works, it only hits 1 target and is mostly useless since it's hard to aim, on spears it and cannons can be decent fun though it takes atleast 5 emitters to match the dps of the MS, but their value isn't being this super effective tool, they're long range, can act as supplements and unlike your weapons have a much higher cap since you can strap a bunch of them to stuff and make orbitals there ARE plenty of zonai devices worth strapping to weapons and shields, including cannons elementals, cannons, hydrants, balloons, springs, cart, sled, fans annnd occasionally rockets and wings (because throwing a spear at an enemy/switch a long distance is just fun, useless in 99% of the time but fun as hell) oh and portable pots and stakes (they don't do anything, but there is usually a surplus of them and they turn the weapon into a hammer) stablizers and hover stones do similiar, but stablizers are used in plenty of builds, and hover stones can be deployed via arrow (can be nice for some puzzles), or used to cheese all the "hold the sign up" things (1-2 usually works, and 3 can just squish it into place on all sides, rarely needed though) as a general rule though, monster parts are always better than anything else for fusing purposes,
.....total disagree: a stack double row of 3 lasers (6 total) melts most bosses. Just use Ultrahand, stand in a good spot, and power wash. Aim straight out and turn left right, lift up and aim straight down, flip up and down... cuts like a hot laser knife thru Bokobutter... the only caveat is that this is really only possible with at least 8-16 batteries.......
Austin just wanna say you have been the absolute best guide RUclipsr for games on the entire platform! I found your channel way back during the Pokémon ultra sun/ultra moon days, and the specific video I remember watching was for the postgame ultra wormhole legendary Pokémon. Absolutely love watching your content because they’re always extremely helpful, detailed, and through!
If you do WST to put Long Throw on a boomerang and use a Soaring fuse, it flies like 40 meters. It still tries to return diagonally left and generally runs into something unless there's like 10 meters of clearance.
When you combine a Mighty Zonaite Sword with a Soldier Construct IV Horn it's a fantastic one-handed weapon for cutting down trees in 1 hit. It has a power of 44. I don't know the durability, but with a durability-up modifier, it does feel like it lasts for quite a bit. Now go chop down some trees. lol. Great video Austin! Cheers! 🍻
Love your videos man. I started watching since breath of the wild and in between botw and totk I would occasionally think back on your channel and how you were doing hoping you were doing well. Now that I’m watching again I see your channel is doing great and that is so wonderful to see! I also hope you are doing great but I know that’s not really something you’d post on your channel but if you see this well wishes man:)
I believe it's everything with the "ReuseSeed" attribute, which are: Puffshrooms, muddle buds, all elemental fruits including dazzlefruits, and all chuchu jellies
The light from the star fragment and dazzle fruit insta-kills common stal-enemies as well as blinding normal enemies. It does count as an elemental effect to make gibdos vulnerable, I haven't tested to see if it insta kills them though.
Fusing a sheet of ice to a one handed or two handed sword makes a fan that causes a sheet of ice to form without using durability when swung over water
fun note on the Cannon and laser and probably a few other devices if you use the throw on the weapon (at least with spears) it will just shoot the cannon and not actually throw the weapon. so you can aim where you shoot it.
Austin really really grateful for all the videos u are putting out regularly (daily)... but dnt over work yourself take care of urself we all really love and appreciate ur work ❤
A couple of minor fusing tips I've run into: - A lot of the objects which add shatter also work when fused to a shield, which allows you to break rocks with a shield bash. - A lot of the objects which add elemental effects also work when fused to a shield, which allows you to burn / freeze / shock things with a shield bash. - Beam emitters work very well on spears, since the spear is always pointed at your target while you're swinging it. Great for slapping keese out of the sky. - The lizalfos tail reach bonus also applies to thrown boomerangs, and elemental tails on boomerangs are very funny to watch. Same goes for all the zonai emitter devices.
Spear is also great with cannons, launches cannonballs faster than anything else. Offnote: with a canon, throwing a spear instead fires a cannonball, so you can aim those shots too.
The only problem with the Lizalfos tails is that they're a relatively rare drop and are needed for some armor upgrades. I only know this because I've been farming Electric Lizalfos to fully upgrade a couple of sets, mainly the Rubber set..
I'm annoyed, the depths Mucktorok drops nothing besides normal Octarok garbage, while the other three all drop something neat, with the Gibdo Queen specifically being a high quality item in a category that otherwise has only garbage. The Mucktorok needed to drop a "whip" equivalent, in the form of its tentacle.
Something I want want in the dlc (if there is going to be one) is the shield slots be changed to the offhand slot and you can duel weird 1 handed weapons
I didn't hit like because I didn't know about the bee rod, but mostly because your giggle when you mentioned it again made me smile. Thank you - and for the whole effort you put into the video as well.
A note about the Shatter property: there are multiple levels of shatter. Some materials have ShatterWeaponLv2 or ShatterWeaponLv3 instead of the normal ShatterWeapon property. The different levels of Shatter affect breaking rock walls. Any two-handed swinging weapon (like a claymore) or a shield (when shield bashing) that is fused with a material with shatter lvl 1 can break grey/red rock walls in one hit. Level 2 shatter allows breaking blue rock walls in one hit, and level 3 allows breaking black rock walls in one hit. If you're using a one handed weapon or a spear, each level of shatter allows for breaking the respective color of rock wall in two hits instead of one. Increased shatter levels DO NOT affect breaking normal ore deposits, or increase damage against taluses any more than shatter level 1 does. For anyone who wants examples of common materials with each shatter level: Level 1 - rocks and boulders, moblin/horriblin horns Level 2 - blue moblin/horriblin horns, light dragon spikes Level 3 - black/silver moblin/horriblin horns, rare talus heart, molduga jaw, spikes from the other 3 dragons Side note: while the black rock walls are really annoying if you dont know about the existence of ShatterLv3, there are only 5 of them in the entire game. When I went to test this against one, I found that there was only one left in my save file that I hadn't destroyed already.
@@sinteleon I just checked for you: Flux Construct I Core - ShatterWeapon (level 1) Flux Construct II Core - ShatterWeaponLv2 Flux Construct III Core - ShatterWeaponLv3 Personally, I think that the easiest thing to farm is horriblin horns. When im mining, I'll usually use hammers made from rocks you find on the ground and then if I run into a blue/black wall, I'll break the rock off of my weapon, drop a black horriblin horn from my inventory, and fuse that to my hammer and start using that instead.
I'm sure it's been said but the windcleaver with any of the elemental horns will turn the wind slash into the corresponding element, even the huge anime style charged slash. I use the dragon horns because the gleeok ones look kind of dumb and are small, better on spears. Also one of the rito spears that shoot wind with a ice gleeok horn on it just pushes whatever you hit (if it's freezable) far far away, it's so fun. And of course a zonai spear with the beam emitter makes a ray gun, especially on a full charged attack.
Do you plan to do the same thing for shields? I've always kept an armor piece fused to my shield because I saw someone doing it in earlier videos, but I'm not really sure what it does haha. I also always keep a frozen fish shield because it's really good for shield surfing.
I have several shields that I fuse to useful things like rockets, elemental stuff for added resistance, armour spikes, and then I have shields I use for shopping. They're backup shields if my main ones break, but also if I find a good weapon but don't have space for it and don't want to get rid of anything, I fuse it to a shield and go to Terry Town when I have space for it later to de-fuse the two
If you fuse any of the elemental chuchi jelly’s to the forest dwellers spear it’s a great way to have an infinite elemental effect on enemy’s with also keeping you at a safe distance so you do not damage yourself. I find the ice jelly to be the most useful. It can effect multiple enemy’s and then you can switch weapons to keep your durability on the spear up. Love the content as always !
The slabs of ice you create by freezing water are both ice (with the freeze effect) AND slabs (with the fan effect). This makes them deceptively powerful, as frozen enemies have very low friction and can be fairly easily blown off cliffs or into water.
You can also attach objects you find in shrines, such as the large metal balls and cubes, or the oddly shaped stone blocks. These are especially fun to then take out of the shrine and defuse them in tarry town, because once done they return to their abnormally large size
It seems like a lot of the blunt fusion items were more of an afterthought. Most of them do not look as good as a sharp fusion items. Unless the fused weapon becomes like a club or a big mace, they don't look like that good. Pretty much all of the sharp fusions make like a cool sword or spear or axe, like it fuses into the blade of the weapon itself. Most of the blunt fusions just stick the thing on the end of it. There are some exceptions, like the Molduga Jaw, the Iron Ball, and the Lynel mace parts. I tried coordinating Dragon Parts with Champion Weapons, purely for aesthetic and element damage (I stuck Naydra Horn on the Lightscale Trident, Farosh Horn on the Scimitar, and Dinraal Spike on the Cobble Crusher) and I'll be honest, nothing looked like it fit on the Goron one; it just awkwardly stuck to the end of it or outright replaced it (for the case with the Dinraal Horn; sticking a claw to the end of it did not replace it but it nerfed it's shattering ability). I eventually just swapped out dragon parts for high-tier monster parts that looked cool.
Will you do the same things for bows? I know there is at least two interesting things and that's that when you fuse Gibdo bones to an arrow they aren't effected by bone proficiency, also hover stones activate automatically when shot at pretty much max ascend height when shot straight up, I'm not sure if there are any other neat facts about bow fusion.
Multi-shot bows duplicate the fused material. Any material description that mentions arrows will likely double its fuse damage when used as an arrowhead. This includes teeth, talons, claws, and hooves. Don't use rockets for flat-trajectory shots. Use wings instead, or molduga fins if you're fancy or need the damage. You can also use hover stones as mid-air stamina recharge platforms by fusing one to a *single-shot* bow and firing downwards while in mid-flight, then immediately opening your paraglider. Multi-shot bows don't work for this because game mechanics reasons I don't fully understand.
I think one of my favorite fuses was shield and Ruby/Sapphire. Not only because of the added effects while blocking, but Ruby provides heat while Sapphire provides cold. The Ruby shield is also helpful during quests where you have to melt ice, since it melts it at a much slower pace than with a flamethrower and you can get the right size much easier
Something I thought was really neat, is that when you first explore hyrule castle, some parts of the castle break off and fall down, which you can then fuse with a weapon or shield, so it's like you're taking a little piece of zelda with you wherever you go lol
Most of these were pretty neat to learn but the hinox toenail making a good axe for trees was by far the best bit of information for me personally. I've been mostly using boss bokoblin parts since the sharp rocks never seem to be around when I need them.
I started doing the blue boko horn on the master sword combo after I got it, which seems to work well enough for most purposes, since you swim in the things before long
anyone have any idea what the "DefeatMiasma" property does? i see it on most of the things in the spreadsheet displayed at the end of the video including stuff like the Silent Princess and assorted signboards
Really good video. The only thing i would add is that stones trigger stone korok puzzles, even after fused to a weapon. They can be used while equipped or you can drop the weapon to the ground
On the one hand, I'm surprised the water globule is fusable, but on the other hand, I'm not surprised that it is due to the sheer attention to detail in this game.
my favourite combo is an ice breath lizalfos tail on a giant boomerang, throwing it hit's like... everybody. it's awesome. and then you don't have to worry about other enemies for a while while you fight the ones you care about! one throw and regrab gives you total control over group fights.
9:10 Of particular interest for the muddle bud and puffshroom though, is that Forest Dweller weapons allow items that burst to be reused! While not all that useful for chu chu jellies as you can just use monster parts in their place, muddle bud and puffshroom have no multiuse counterpart, making them the perfect fusion for Forest Dweller equipment! Sadly no, explosives don't count as burst items, I tried.
Your videos are so helpful in my journey through this game. I think I have watched each video you’ve posted and usually come back multiple times! Keep it up Austin John, these are much appreciated!
Nobody really knows this but if you attach a lizalfos elemental horn to an eightfold longblade, your ranged wind attack will switch to the element of the horn you used. You can basically make an elemental katana and do some anime stuff with it.
Yeah, and if you miz it with Sidon's bubble and attack, youre shooting the beam plus water, which can be pretty destructive in the right situations
@@umbralember if you use the electric lizalfos with sidon's thing with eightfold i'm pretty sure it makes the lightning bubble thing which has a huge radius.
Oh yes I do this with the gleeok horns, I have a clip of me getting five gibdos at once with a full charge attack, felt awesome
I not only know this, I commented on one of Austin's previous video when asking about a Property In-Depth guide since many things seem to change properties and have unexpected effects depending on what they are fused to or used with. Arrows act differently than melee or Shields too.
Beam Frost Flame and Shock emitters on a boomerang won't hit yourself when thrown, and they also won't use the durability of the boomerang as long as the boomerang itself doesn't hit anything. I didn't try a rocket though.
Turns out, if you fuse a hinox toenail to an arrow, you can actually use it to cut down trees in one shot. You even get your arrow and toenail back afterwards
Imagine being a tree monster and some dude comes up to you with a giant toenail on his arrow and shoots you in the leg.
Wtf 😭

Another important bit regarding "shatter": to break enemy armor more efficiently. A portable pot arrow will disintegrate enemy armor in one hit on everything but Lynels.
Portable Pot strikes again as the Zonai device sleeper hit!
Portable Pot really has some insane uses. I hope we keep finding more items with hidden uses
That's amazing, this tip is super useful!
FINALLY, a use for those things! XD
Pots can also be stabiliser as seen in many builds!
Some tips!
For the tails/whips, putting them on a boomerang makes them much easier to hit when thrown.
For stuff like Muddlebuds and Puffshrooms, if you attach them to Forest Dweller weapons, they recharge and can be used over and over (doesn't work with Ancient blades or Gibdo bones)
Dazzlefruits also work with Forest Dweller weapons, and make for a Stal-enemy dispeller since Dazzlefruits oneshot all non-giant skeletons.
@@arabidllama Yeah, I just mentioned the ones I saw, but there's a few items that work
For anyone interested in this, you can see exactly what items do and don’t work with it on the spreadsheet, the ones that work have a special tag that he ignored for the video for some reason
@@Raeve_Master One I like is the Giant Brightbloom Seed. Those things have a huge light range, and adding them to a Forest Dweller Spear gives you 49 (decayed) / 60 (pristine) uses out of a single seed, more if you get a weapon with a durability bonus.
BTW, the full list of things you can reuse with Forest Dweller weapons are all five kinds of elemental fruit, all four kinds of ChuChu Jellies, the two sizes of Brightbloom Seeds, the Puffshroom, and the Muddle Bud.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Gohma's big rocks can be fused and make for a classy explosion with 5 made by autobuild
Did not know I needed "Rod That Summons Bees" to be added to my armory but I am certain that my gaming experience will grow exponentially as a result.
Can you beat totk with only BEEs???
i wonder if you can shoot three bees if you attach it to a wand
@@kylesimone6140 I need the magic bee scepter yesterday
@kylesimone6140 Tried this, doesn't work unfortunately. But the Master Bee Sword stays anyway.
I did in fact play a bit of the end of this game with “the bees that seal the darkness” 10/10 can confirm
I know you used the Master Sword as a reference, but I think it’s worth noting that the Dazzle Fruit, Muddle Bud, and Puffshroom become far more useful on the Forrest Dweller’s weapons since they have the recyclability you don’t lose them, and they can be reused…. So just use puffsroom and then sneak strike everything.
I was thinking this so I’m glad someone else said it
Forest Dweller weapons also work well with elemental fruits like Frost Fruit
I learned it also works with shock, Fire, splash, and ice fruits as well
I'm pretty sure the only one use fusable item that is unaffected by the forest dweller's weapons is the gibdo bone
Bomb flowers don’t work either, not that you should be putting them on your weapon anyway
If you fuse ZonaiWing to a shield, you get very slightly higher SurfShieldJump, just enough to enter bullet time from flat ground.
Same with Spring
@@belot217spring would be cool if it wasn't single use
bro is using file names 💀
@@belot217 the spring is a bounce, the wing you jump higher when you shield jump, and the spring only works once. Granted, the wing doesn't give you very much bullet time, but you can do it infinitely many times
I had discovered that but I hadn't thought about using it to enter bullet time. That's gonna make Lynel fights so easy
I’ve never been this scientifically immersed into a game that involves optimal calculated combat! Much respect Professor Austin John.
That's why this is the greatest video game ever created
Except it doesn’t require any optimal calculated combat because it’s so Fkn easy you can just tank through any attacks with enough hearts and upgraded armor. The game is incredible but the difficulty is a joke
Calculated combat like “higher number better” and bullet time bow spam
@@Ari19904Then make it difficult for yourself, force yourself to use un-upgraded armour, or force yourself to stay on 3 or 4 hearts for the full game, maybe limit your damage by not fusing at all except for fused weapons dropped by monsters, etc
@@ernesto_7O7 to make it harder I maxed out stamina before HP and didn’t use any armor with an increased rating. It was really fun
The king's scale doesn't act as a water attachment unless it's on an arrow. if you fuse it to a weapon, it just gets the "Soaring" effect
What is the soaring effect?
@@EpicBaCkFliPz you can throw it farther
BUT! It will activate the Zora spear special.
Lightscale trident plus king’s scale would actually be really good, as it would do x2 damage unconditionally
@@cheeseballpete8944yes, but it also shatters immediately, so it's only useful for arrows really.
My favorite thing to fuse is the Sand Seal block behind the Gerudo queens throne! It just looks so hilarious.
Imma have to try this, I didn't even know that was behind her throne
Mine as well!
I was convinced it was for some special purpose in game. Turns out I just got to have fun lookin silly :)
does it come back after the gerudo questline?
@@narzangrover10 it respawns whenever you reload the area, just like a rock, regardless of the questline
I tend to use the gibdo bones as arrowheads. It actually works out fairly well if you have a lot, and/or a bow that fires multiple shots. There are fuses that are better as arrowheads, and one-hit wonders are usually best used on arrows, unless you have an ancient blade and are desperate. Then there's "Learning What Will and Won't Activate a Zora Weapon's Special Effect", which I've made heavy use of.
I'm bummed snow doesn't turn Zora weapon on. Snow is cold water! But since we treat water and ice as two separate elements, I can accept that snowfall is an icy condition, not water condition
Minor correction: Muddle Bud and Puffshroom can be used more than once on a weapon or shield conditionally. If you slap them on the Forest Dweller gear it won't destroy them but instead put them on a 5 second cooldown. A rather fun weapon to play revolves around using a Forest Dweller weapon to set off a Puffshroom then using an Eightfold Longblade (w/ good fuse) to absolutely annihilate nearly anything. It legit turns you into a Yiga ninja.
Eightfold Blade. Unless it’s hidden, only the one-hand Blade has the Sneakstrike bonus. The Longblade has the Wind Razor effect instead.
This tends to be the best way to defeat silver enemies as it's 1 durability for the puffshroom and 1 on the sword to defeat the enemy. There doesn't seem to be a way to defeat silver enemies in less than 2 durability otherwise.
I put a ancient blade thinking it will work and it didnt witch is sas bc i wanted a one-shot weapon that killed anything on one hit
I wouldn’t say that is a minor correction. That is a specific weapon class with a trait that applies to every fused object.
@@ViridianFlow
Chuck an ancient blade at them like you would a weapon for a 0 damage take down.
I could be wrong, but I don't think we've been able to weaponize bees in a Zelda game to this extent since A Link to the Past, where you could catch one in a bottle.
A link between worlds does this too
I forgot about siccing the Golden bee on enemies and recatching it for later use. Ah....sweet memories. Time to make a bee spear.
I'm tired and had a massive brainfart just now. I was about to say I thought you could do it in Wind Waker and realized I was thinking of MGS3. Honestly not sure how those wires got crossed
@@makeitthrough_ In note there’s a couple specific spots in the game where bokoblins are near a courser bee honey on a tree & knocking it down from range assuming the bokoblins are closer to that tree will cause them to flee in fear from the closing in bees
Weaponizing bees is the best thing since weaponizing fishing poles, which I'm still sad we can't do in these games. RIP cheesing the Ganondorf fight by pulling out a fishing pole and distracting him like a cat with a laser pointer
6:30 -About Beehive, if you fuse them to Rods, the bees coming out are not going to hit you. Just like Ruby behave differently with a Rod instead of all other weapons.-
I was wrong. I probably did my test in peaceful area (where bees don't attack you) and extrapolated without conducting more tests. Sadly, Bees still attack you even if you fuse with a Rod. It seems that Rods don't do much: same duration, same damage, same "resistance", still 1 maximum bee swarm.
You can summon more than 1 bee swarm by switching back and forth the weapon, tricking the game enough to allow more than 1 bee swarm.
as in the magic rods?
NO WAY
@@mileslyster2281yes there are 3 types
Oh wow! Just like the golden bees from Link to the Past.
Annoying, though, that honey is a “gem” that’s Upgraded by the rods, but amber, diamond and dragon spikes aren’t.
It would be cool if diamond shot LASERS!!!
21:09 - For anyone curious, I’m pretty sure that “wood” Ball is the yellow floating ball you’ve probably encountered in a few water-based shrines. I made myself a ball club/sword using it. Pretty out of place, but nifty for breaking rocks
@@EndyStar Yes! above
Distinguishing what counts as a burst item and what does not would make using the Forrest Dweller's spear a bit more intuitive. Reusing things like Muddlebuds infinitely would be super cool. I also wanted to point out that the Gleeock horns have a much larger hitbox on 2 handed weapons
Muddlebuds work yes.
Copying from @FabioCapela 's comment:
"BTW, the full list of things you can reuse with Forest Dweller weapons are all five kinds of elemental fruit, all four kinds of ChuChu Jellies, the two sizes of Brightbloom Seeds, the Puffshroom, and the Muddle Bud. "
Gleeok weapons i find best used on spears
@@qt_stacy Yeah, they ain't terrible on those either, though the hitbox is still pretty small when you compare it to other elemental options
@@m4rcyonstation93 dazzle fruit?
Nvm I just realized that it’s one of the 5 elemental fruits
infinite muddlebuds are nice an all, but... infinite puffshroom.
One category that might have been worth mentioning was "reuse seed", which is all the items that benefit from the Forest Dweller weapons ability to use "burstable" fuses over and over.

Because their is so many aspects to cover.

It would also be great to have a video on shield and arrow fuses, as there are some unique effects there too.
Yeah, this would be amazing.
yeah i would like to know what i should be putting on my shields. so far i just use rockets, other shields, or armor chunks. gotta know if a 2nd shield is better than armor chunk
...you can use armor chunks from Bokoblins and Lynels as well as Stone Talus Hearts fused on to shields to parry-mine ores. It's fun, 'cuz I don't feel like I waste the low-damage-add of Talus Hearts on an ore-mining-specific weapon.....
@@Hawkypoo I dont think fusing two shields actually does anything? Maybe extra durability. But probably just +25 max like with any item. And armor shards add thorns damage I think
Icy meat on shield = best shieldsurf in the game. Even beating skateboard imo
nah, I'm fine, icy meat shield and 5 shot ruby nuke are the only fusions to non-melee weapons that I need
Hello Austin John…I am a 64 year old grandma and I have loved video games my whole life. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the videos you make. It took me some time to find someone who I can watch their videos with my grandkids and not have to worry about the language they are going to hear. Also I am very impressed by the amount of work you do with the games you do the videos on.
I actually like fusing shields to the Master Sword, because it feels closer to the Link we see in the cutscenes, where he uses the sword alone. The hidden fuse helps sell the look.
Or you can just dodge everything like he actually does lol
*( Y ) Fury Rush*
The star fragment shoots out more beams on a magic rod, I wonder if you get multiple bees since it also has the Rod tag
Apparently bees on a wand just makes them never attack you
@@DiamondPanda207 That's honestly an amazing buff. RELEASE THE BEES
@@AmataTaiIs that a Kenny Lauderdale reference?
@@makeitthrough_ While I don't know for certain- it is a non-zero chance since I've watched a couple of his XD
@@DiamondPanda207 nope! They still attack you ^^
Since it's not mentioned on the video because the base weapon used is the Master Sword... if the Forest Dweller Sword/Spear is used for plant-based materials, it will not be destroyed in one hit or so. Although not the best in terms of stats, they can turn into one of the best utility weapons out there.
not just plants, it works on chuchu jelly too
with puffshroom, it's way more than utility; being able to sneakstrike everything all the time makes it one of the safest, highest consistent DPS against specific types of enemies.
Honestly not something I thought to explore, but now that you've brought it up I'm legitimately curious about all the fuses :D
I was really disappointed that the light from the star fragment doesn't damage stal enemies and gibdos.
What I was looking for in this was more of the subtle effects, like fusing meat to an arrow to attract enemies. You also missed dazzlefruit, which must have some kind of code since it has so many unique effects in the world.
Perhaps another video about the effects of items on arrows?
I heard that it removes the gloom affect from enemies in the depths but I haven't got one to test it out
Dazzle fruit insta kills all stal enemies except maybe stalnox
@@wavy_maz It doesn't insta kill stalnox, but fusing to arrows does stun him every shot, even if you don't hit him in the eye.
If you haven't already, you need to try putting lizalfos tails on boomerangs. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen when thrown
It's just mind blowing seeing the hard work that Nintendo put into the fusion system. It's even more mind blowing knowing that fusing is still only one feature beside many other features that have also been extensively worked on in detail
The things Austin goes for these Incredible Videos is insane. (Love your Content ❤)
The ancient blade will add the +50 to an eightfold longblade's wind cleave and won't shatter unless you hit things with the sword directly.
I’m pretty sure the gleeoc horns actually have a deceptively long hit box. If I’m not mistaken they make a “blade” that materializes out of their respective elements
The most professional Zelda/gamer streamer on the planet. Right here, ladies and gentlemen right here. Your efforts are not unnoticed. Well done. Really enjoyed this one Austin
That’s my boy President Hudson coming in #2 just behind a temple boss. 👏👏👏
"You might be surprised about the hinox toenail" meanwhile me having gone half my playthrough always having one attached to a weapon after a traumatic encounter with an evermean in the rain
Thanks for always adding timestamps for your videos its always so nice to just skip to the section you need, instead of looking for it
Love that you used the Freezeezy Peak music for ice at 15:51
The 829 Fusibles.
Wish you could Shiny Hunt them, Like a Shiny Fusidex.

@@reversal Pokemon is mostly about collecting though
The beehive actually was one of the first things I tried out with the Fuse ability. And I was delighted that something like this happened. Those details are why I love Nintendo games
I know this video is only about the master sword. But as for those one use items. Bright Bloom Seeds, Muddlebuds, puff Shrooms etc. put them on the Forrest dweller weapons. They allow you to reuse that item indefinitely (to my knowledge) it does take a little bit of recharge time. But it’s useful. I have a Forrest Dweller Sword fused with a Giant Bright Bloom, it comes in handy when you need or want to light something up without using materials.
The bright bloom after being used isn’t lit up anymore but after it recharges it’ll flash and be bright again.
Mad respect for doing all of these. It was so useful
15:45
I prefer doing this with spears than with double-handed weapons because of how quickly Link can attack from a defensive stance & go back into a defensive stance after attacking. The Zonaite Spear & Zonaite shield are great because the attack power goes up.
As I fused an octoballoon to my shield this morning I realized there was so much more that I was just starting to figure out could be fused, and this video dropped AS I was thinking about it. Truly good at your job sir.
The Octo balloon can be used in shrines, so it's helpful for solving puzzles that require elevation without all the complexities.
Didn't know Hinox Toenails also worked as axes! I've just been going "Well, they're large, flat, and mostly shield-shaped, so why not glue one onto the front of my shield?"
I saw someone say how icy prime meat was the best shield surfing item from their experience, but looking at the spreadsheet it seems there's only one slipperiness up trait so i guess they're all the same and icy prime meat is just easy to carry around to fuse later
Edit: apparently radiant shield is slipperiness up too, but it would also make a better shield. As does shield of the minds eye, which gives me a use for them now too
I didn’t know I could fuse a Sand seal squishmallow in this game but I will never adventure without one now. Thank you Austin.
I just want to take a moment to thank Austin for making your video on the fusible weapons in Tears of the Kingdom. I'm a big fan of the game, and I was really struggling to figure out what all the different fusions did. Your video was incredibly helpful, and it made a huge difference in my understanding of the game.
TotK content is the first time I've ever heard about this channel but this guy is KILLING it. Keep up the great work, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Releasing videos at an almost dizzying pace, with high quality content. Long enough to be thorough, short enough to warrant watching all the way through. Great job.
11:20 ! that’s my JAM!
ZELDA games ALWAYS gives the future of games something to use , and damn i love
A light dragon spike makes for a wonderful spear hammer. Heals you when breaking rocks, has that shatter effect, and is super easy to get. Probably my favorite fuse in the game.
Easy to get if you like abusing your waifu. :X
9:27 if you fuse the vegetables to and if the Forrest dwellers weapons they last until the actual weapon breaks so you can use them more than once
Can you cover the Zonai Devices and their uses in detail?
For example, what is the DPS of a beam emitter?
I believe the beam emitter beam deals the damage of the Weapon it’s fused to
@@DiamondPanda207he means when not fused, just leaving one on and pointing it at an enemy.
@@Ordinaryhumanbeing-cg5vx Both. So if I fuse a beam emitter to a weapon, the entire beam deals the weapons damage instead at range?
But yeah, I mostly meant the beam emitter and cannon compared to weapons. how many beam emitters have the same DPS as the master sword, for example
@@aldoushuxley5953 yes, the entire beam works, it only hits 1 target and is mostly useless since it's hard to aim, on spears it and cannons can be decent fun though
it takes atleast 5 emitters to match the dps of the MS, but their value isn't being this super effective tool, they're long range, can act as supplements and unlike your weapons have a much higher cap since you can strap a bunch of them to stuff and make orbitals
there ARE plenty of zonai devices worth strapping to weapons and shields, including cannons
elementals, cannons, hydrants, balloons, springs, cart, sled, fans annnd occasionally rockets and wings (because throwing a spear at an enemy/switch a long distance is just fun, useless in 99% of the time but fun as hell)
oh and portable pots and stakes (they don't do anything, but there is usually a surplus of them and they turn the weapon into a hammer) stablizers and hover stones do similiar, but stablizers are used in plenty of builds, and hover stones can be deployed via arrow (can be nice for some puzzles), or used to cheese all the "hold the sign up" things (1-2 usually works, and 3 can just squish it into place on all sides, rarely needed though)
as a general rule though, monster parts are always better than anything else for fusing purposes,
.....total disagree: a stack double row of 3 lasers (6 total) melts most bosses. Just use Ultrahand, stand in a good spot, and power wash. Aim straight out and turn left right, lift up and aim straight down, flip up and down... cuts like a hot laser knife thru Bokobutter... the only caveat is that this is really only possible with at least 8-16 batteries.......
Austin just wanna say you have been the absolute best guide RUclipsr for games on the entire platform!
I found your channel way back during the Pokémon ultra sun/ultra moon days, and the specific video I remember watching was for the postgame ultra wormhole legendary Pokémon. Absolutely love watching your content because they’re always extremely helpful, detailed, and through!
I just appreciate all you do mate, these videos are simply the best guides ever keep it up Austin!
If you do WST to put Long Throw on a boomerang and use a Soaring fuse, it flies like 40 meters. It still tries to return diagonally left and generally runs into something unless there's like 10 meters of clearance.
Puts bees on a magic rod
When you combine a Mighty Zonaite Sword with a Soldier Construct IV Horn it's a fantastic one-handed weapon for cutting down trees in 1 hit. It has a power of 44. I don't know the durability, but with a durability-up modifier, it does feel like it lasts for quite a bit. Now go chop down some trees. lol. Great video Austin! Cheers! 🍻
Love your videos man. I started watching since breath of the wild and in between botw and totk I would occasionally think back on your channel and how you were doing hoping you were doing well. Now that I’m watching again I see your channel is doing great and that is so wonderful to see! I also hope you are doing great but I know that’s not really something you’d post on your channel but if you see this well wishes man:)
at 10:27 he said a very wide circle and that is wrong it is a square.
I’d love to see what items count as ‘burstable’ for the sake of the Korok spear
muddlebud (confuse hits), Dazzle fruit (run around the depths with this), so many more
I believe it's everything with the "ReuseSeed" attribute, which are:
Puffshrooms, muddle buds, all elemental fruits including dazzlefruits, and all chuchu jellies
Anything that vanishes after 1 use, except Gibdo Bones, Ancient Blades and Bombs
What about bomb flowers and time bombs?
The light from the star fragment and dazzle fruit insta-kills common stal-enemies as well as blinding normal enemies. It does count as an elemental effect to make gibdos vulnerable, I haven't tested to see if it insta kills them though.
I've heard differently on the Star Fragment for stal enemies. Dazzle fruit definitely does, though
I can't believe you went through every single item. You are truly dedicated to your work. Thank you for making videos like this for us.
Fusing a sheet of ice to a one handed or two handed sword makes a fan that causes a sheet of ice to form without using durability when swung over water
fun note on the Cannon and laser and probably a few other devices if you use the throw on the weapon (at least with spears) it will just shoot the cannon and not actually throw the weapon. so you can aim where you shoot it.
Just tested this, it works on any weapon, not just spears
Fantastic breakdown, thanks!
My takeaways: Hooves for breaking ore nodes, black boss boko horns for axes, and I need to make a Bee Rod
Austin really really grateful for all the videos u are putting out regularly (daily)... but dnt over work yourself take care of urself we all really love and appreciate ur work ❤
I can’t believe how easy you broke this down for us. Can definitely see the hard work you put into it! Thank you!
I love the joy that he finds in making these videos.
A couple of minor fusing tips I've run into:
- A lot of the objects which add shatter also work when fused to a shield, which allows you to break rocks with a shield bash.
- A lot of the objects which add elemental effects also work when fused to a shield, which allows you to burn / freeze / shock things with a shield bash.
- Beam emitters work very well on spears, since the spear is always pointed at your target while you're swinging it. Great for slapping keese out of the sky.
- The lizalfos tail reach bonus also applies to thrown boomerangs, and elemental tails on boomerangs are very funny to watch. Same goes for all the zonai emitter devices.
Spear is also great with cannons, launches cannonballs faster than anything else. Offnote: with a canon, throwing a spear instead fires a cannonball, so you can aim those shots too.
The "maybe it's because I'm an Aries" caught me so off guard and I almost died laughing and choking on my chips. Absolutely hilarious moment there!
and so true lmfao what is it with aries men and explosions/things that cause explosions 🤣
12:29 actualy the reach of the gleeok horn is as long as the dragon horn, i tested it
The only problem with the Lizalfos tails is that they're a relatively rare drop and are needed for some armor upgrades. I only know this because I've been farming Electric Lizalfos to fully upgrade a couple of sets, mainly the Rubber set..
I'm annoyed, the depths Mucktorok drops nothing besides normal Octarok garbage, while the other three all drop something neat, with the Gibdo Queen specifically being a high quality item in a category that otherwise has only garbage.
The Mucktorok needed to drop a "whip" equivalent, in the form of its tentacle.
I played Tears of the Kingdom blind for the first time and just recently started watching videos for clean up, and Austin has been my #1 Go To
Something I want want in the dlc (if there is going to be one) is the shield slots be changed to the offhand slot and you can duel weird 1 handed weapons
Hyrule is not prepared for Link to double-wield like that
@alexandramaplays but It would be awesome
I didn't hit like because I didn't know about the bee rod, but mostly because your giggle when you mentioned it again made me smile. Thank you - and for the whole effort you put into the video as well.
A note about the Shatter property: there are multiple levels of shatter. Some materials have ShatterWeaponLv2 or ShatterWeaponLv3 instead of the normal ShatterWeapon property. The different levels of Shatter affect breaking rock walls. Any two-handed swinging weapon (like a claymore) or a shield (when shield bashing) that is fused with a material with shatter lvl 1 can break grey/red rock walls in one hit. Level 2 shatter allows breaking blue rock walls in one hit, and level 3 allows breaking black rock walls in one hit. If you're using a one handed weapon or a spear, each level of shatter allows for breaking the respective color of rock wall in two hits instead of one. Increased shatter levels DO NOT affect breaking normal ore deposits, or increase damage against taluses any more than shatter level 1 does.
For anyone who wants examples of common materials with each shatter level:
Level 1 - rocks and boulders, moblin/horriblin horns
Level 2 - blue moblin/horriblin horns, light dragon spikes
Level 3 - black/silver moblin/horriblin horns, rare talus heart, molduga jaw, spikes from the other 3 dragons
Side note: while the black rock walls are really annoying if you dont know about the existence of ShatterLv3, there are only 5 of them in the entire game. When I went to test this against one, I found that there was only one left in my save file that I hadn't destroyed already.
What about the construct boss thing, which while technically not common, is easy to farm?
@@sinteleon I just checked for you:
Flux Construct I Core - ShatterWeapon (level 1)
Flux Construct II Core - ShatterWeaponLv2
Flux Construct III Core - ShatterWeaponLv3
Personally, I think that the easiest thing to farm is horriblin horns. When im mining, I'll usually use hammers made from rocks you find on the ground and then if I run into a blue/black wall, I'll break the rock off of my weapon, drop a black horriblin horn from my inventory, and fuse that to my hammer and start using that instead.
I'm sure it's been said but the windcleaver with any of the elemental horns will turn the wind slash into the corresponding element, even the huge anime style charged slash. I use the dragon horns because the gleeok ones look kind of dumb and are small, better on spears. Also one of the rito spears that shoot wind with a ice gleeok horn on it just pushes whatever you hit (if it's freezable) far far away, it's so fun. And of course a zonai spear with the beam emitter makes a ray gun, especially on a full charged attack.
Can you do a video on elemental weaknesses and resistances and/or how elemental fusions interact with the environment?
Thanks!
Do you plan to do the same thing for shields? I've always kept an armor piece fused to my shield because I saw someone doing it in earlier videos, but I'm not really sure what it does haha. I also always keep a frozen fish shield because it's really good for shield surfing.
I think it just gives slightly more damage when you hit an enemy with the shield. Looks cool tho
The shield parry will also inherit some properties from the fuse item, like a rock shield can smash ores with a parry
I believe armor piece does damage (and takes durability) from parrying, and might deflect electricity but I’m not 100% on that one
I have several shields that I fuse to useful things like rockets, elemental stuff for added resistance, armour spikes, and then I have shields I use for shopping. They're backup shields if my main ones break, but also if I find a good weapon but don't have space for it and don't want to get rid of anything, I fuse it to a shield and go to Terry Town when I have space for it later to de-fuse the two
If you fuse any of the elemental chuchi jelly’s to the forest dwellers spear it’s a great way to have an infinite elemental effect on enemy’s with also keeping you at a safe distance so you do not damage yourself. I find the ice jelly to be the most useful. It can effect multiple enemy’s and then you can switch weapons to keep your durability on the spear up. Love the content as always !
The slabs of ice you create by freezing water are both ice (with the freeze effect) AND slabs (with the fan effect).
This makes them deceptively powerful, as frozen enemies have very low friction and can be fairly easily blown off cliffs or into water.
Ganon: Ahh Link, been expecting you-
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
You can also attach objects you find in shrines, such as the large metal balls and cubes, or the oddly shaped stone blocks. These are especially fun to then take out of the shrine and defuse them in tarry town, because once done they return to their abnormally large size
It seems like a lot of the blunt fusion items were more of an afterthought. Most of them do not look as good as a sharp fusion items. Unless the fused weapon becomes like a club or a big mace, they don't look like that good. Pretty much all of the sharp fusions make like a cool sword or spear or axe, like it fuses into the blade of the weapon itself. Most of the blunt fusions just stick the thing on the end of it. There are some exceptions, like the Molduga Jaw, the Iron Ball, and the Lynel mace parts. I tried coordinating Dragon Parts with Champion Weapons, purely for aesthetic and element damage (I stuck Naydra Horn on the Lightscale Trident, Farosh Horn on the Scimitar, and Dinraal Spike on the Cobble Crusher) and I'll be honest, nothing looked like it fit on the Goron one; it just awkwardly stuck to the end of it or outright replaced it (for the case with the Dinraal Horn; sticking a claw to the end of it did not replace it but it nerfed it's shattering ability). I eventually just swapped out dragon parts for high-tier monster parts that looked cool.
I fused an Ancient Blade to the Master Sword and yeah….that was incredible. I won’t say anything else to spoil anyone, but it is awesome.
Btw: you’re “pretty darn neat” voice at 6:27 makes me smile so hard lol
Will you do the same things for bows? I know there is at least two interesting things and that's that when you fuse Gibdo bones to an arrow they aren't effected by bone proficiency, also hover stones activate automatically when shot at pretty much max ascend height when shot straight up, I'm not sure if there are any other neat facts about bow fusion.
Multi-shot bows duplicate the fused material.
Any material description that mentions arrows will likely double its fuse damage when used as an arrowhead. This includes teeth, talons, claws, and hooves.
Don't use rockets for flat-trajectory shots. Use wings instead, or molduga fins if you're fancy or need the damage.
You can also use hover stones as mid-air stamina recharge platforms by fusing one to a *single-shot* bow and firing downwards while in mid-flight, then immediately opening your paraglider. Multi-shot bows don't work for this because game mechanics reasons I don't fully understand.
@@LexYeen Doesn't work with multi bows because it would be straight item duping, you spend 1 platform to make 5 appear.
I think one of my favorite fuses was shield and Ruby/Sapphire. Not only because of the added effects while blocking, but Ruby provides heat while Sapphire provides cold. The Ruby shield is also helpful during quests where you have to melt ice, since it melts it at a much slower pace than with a flamethrower and you can get the right size much easier
Something I thought was really neat, is that when you first explore hyrule castle, some parts of the castle break off and fall down, which you can then fuse with a weapon or shield, so it's like you're taking a little piece of zelda with you wherever you go lol
👀
If you want to take a piece of Zelda with you along your journey, boy do I have a quest for you.
@@CBreezie_bro_
too soon
Most of these were pretty neat to learn but the hinox toenail making a good axe for trees was by far the best bit of information for me personally. I've been mostly using boss bokoblin parts since the sharp rocks never seem to be around when I need them.
I started doing the blue boko horn on the master sword combo after I got it, which seems to work well enough for most purposes, since you swim in the things before long
anyone have any idea what the "DefeatMiasma" property does? i see it on most of the things in the spreadsheet displayed at the end of the video including stuff like the Silent Princess and assorted signboards
I believe Miasma is another translation for the original word for gloom. So maybe extra damage against gloom enemies like the master sword?
Probably increased damage against Gloom enemies, like what the Master Sword has by default.
Really good video. The only thing i would add is that stones trigger stone korok puzzles, even after fused to a weapon. They can be used while equipped or you can drop the weapon to the ground
What about shrine specific items? Like the batteries, turbines, target balls, and buoy balls? Do those have any specific qualities like shatter, etc.?
the banjo kazooie music for the ice segment was a nice touch
Yooooo john!

On the one hand, I'm surprised the water globule is fusable, but on the other hand, I'm not surprised that it is due to the sheer attention to detail in this game.
It's like "wow, they even thought of that??" And then immediately "..I mean, of course they did."
my favourite combo is an ice breath lizalfos tail on a giant boomerang, throwing it hit's like... everybody. it's awesome. and then you don't have to worry about other enemies for a while while you fight the ones you care about! one throw and regrab gives you total control over group fights.
9:10 Of particular interest for the muddle bud and puffshroom though, is that Forest Dweller weapons allow items that burst to be reused! While not all that useful for chu chu jellies as you can just use monster parts in their place, muddle bud and puffshroom have no multiuse counterpart, making them the perfect fusion for Forest Dweller equipment!
Sadly no, explosives don't count as burst items, I tried.
Your videos are so helpful in my journey through this game. I think I have watched each video you’ve posted and usually come back multiple times! Keep it up Austin John, these are much appreciated!
