  • Breath of the Wild contains a wide variety of different stat boosting gear and equipment that the player can utilize on their adventure...but the game isn't exactly clear on the specifics of how these buffs function!! With no in-game descriptions or stats to display about these buffs, players for the longest time could only really rely on personal assumptions to figure out how these buffs work. So, after some extensive in-game research, I decided to encode ALL of the hidden properties of these buffs so I can share my findings with everyone - which should be VERY helpful for improving your knowledge on this game!! Anyways, I hope you all enjoy!! :)

(If your gonna make that video that is lol) I posted a comment with info but it's on a google drive on a very small spreadsheet that lists every weapon. Orcz site also has a good list for just durability quick, checking stats, and damage stats for every weapon in game.

    15:41 except the Lynel on ploymus mountain, even with max stealth level, the Lynel can still detect you even when NOT sprinting, extremely sensitive to sound (even when you crouch and tilt the stick far enough). Other Lynels can only hear you if you are sprinting with this stealth.
    That lynel is programmed differently than all other lynels in other locations (even if them are red-maned), during gameplay, I noticed other differences:
    -Touching the lynel from the back does not immediately cause the lynel to know your presence, he has to face at you in order to know that. All other lynels however will immediately detect you
    -He does not roar while they roam their territory, other Lynels roar periodically as they wander their territory.
    -Without any disguise mask (wearing a Lynel mask or Majora's mask), this lynel, upon spotting you will immediately start attacking, all other Lynels will stare you down for 30 seconds before attack anyways. There is an obvious reason for this: so that the player MUST be stealthy if they don't want to fight the lynel and obtain the shock arrows, 30 seconds is way too lenient time for the player to get as many as they can.

      I can only imagine the Metal Block it went over was somehow jutting out a bit (thus no longer flush with the floor), so they probably ramped off it. Mind you, maybe it was actually just a bunch of tiny details combined with the block that caused it (such as the angle it ran over the block, the timing of its charge, and frame rate).

    Last night I did another several hours of research to calculate all enemy constants for the four main enemies. I was hoping that there would be a pattern between the constant and the color of the enemy, but of course not. Oh well...
    Here’s the formula again:
    Damage=4(hearts lost)+(defense-enemy constant)
    And here’s a table with all the enemy constants:
    Bokoblin Moblin Lizalfos Lynel
    Basic 0 2 4 15
    Blue 4 10 8 20
    Black 8 20 16 26
    Silver 24 24 20 30
    Golden 48 48 40 60
    Here’s another example:
    Link goes up against a blue lizalfos wearing 9 defense. He gets hit and loses 4.5 hearts.
    Damage=4(4.5)+(9-8)
    Damage=18+1
    Damage=19
    Yay math!
    I hope this chart is helpful and if anyone needs it, you can take a picture of it and use it for yourself!

      Wow, that's some great research right there!! Understanding the base attacks of enemies is EXTREMELY helpful in order to prepare yourself for fights in this game!!
      I have a lot of the enemy stats recorded myself, and there are actually some other attacks they can do which alter the damage!! Lynel charge attacks, for an example, do WAY more damage then their base (can sometimes even exceed the damage they do with their weapons), and there's even seperate stats for things like their elemental attacks as well!! (When talking about the Lizalfoses!!)

    • @wretchedbrat5618
      @wretchedbrat5618 4 года назад +3

      The damage that I’m referring to is the damage output of the enemy’s weapon, not the damage that link necessarily receives. Also, if links defense is lower than the enemy constant, the enemy’s weapon will do more damage to link than it would if link were to use it on an enemy.

    Great video! Just wanted to share a couple of things you missed.
    Majora's Mask works like all the masks that Kilton sells in one. Bokonlins, Moblins, Lizalfos, and all their Stal equivalents won't attack you unless provoked. You'll also delay a Lynel attack by about 30 seconds.
    The Royal Guard's set give you more stamina while doing a charged attack, dashing while swimming, and jumping while climbing.
    The diamond circlet isn't the only one with the mini-ancient proficiency buff. The ruby circlet, sapphire circlet, and Midna's Helm all give the same boost. The amber and topaz earrings might also have the effect, but I can't remember off-hand.

    I’ve done my share of research for the game too.
    I decided to write mathematical formulas to determine the amount of damage and enemy’s’ weapon does without having to kill it (I only did it for the golden ones though).
    Each one of the four basic enemies (bokoblins, moblins, lizalfos, and lynels) has a constant value that subtracts from link’s defense. If link’s defense is higher than the constant, the enemy will deal less damage than the damage of its weapon and vice versa.
    Here’s the general formula for enemy weapon damage:
    4(hearts lost with one hit)+(link’s defense-constant)
    Here’s a list of the golden enemy constants:
    Bokoblin/Moblin: 48
    Lizalfos: 40
    Lynel: 60
    Here’s an scenario showing how to plug everything in:
    Link goes up against a lynel wearing armor with 48 defense. Link then gets hit once and loses 23.75 hearts. Now he can calculate the damage of the weapon without needing to kill the lynel first!
    Damage=4(23.75)+(48-60)
    Damage=95-12
    Damage=83
    Wow! That was a lot of words! I hope this makes sense to you and maybe you can do a video talking about the damage of other types of enemies!

      Yeah this game’s equipment is so weird. Why would Nintendo add a secret buff to random items and never tell anyone about it? Apparently the charge attack stamina buff, at least from the royal guard set, also affects climbing jump stamina and swimming dash stamina, which was completely unknown to me. There just doesn’t seem to be a point to giving a player a buff without telling them that it exists

      @@mcswashbuckler3833 The entire game is all about freedom of exploration and discovery. So you also have the freedom to discover some secrets within equipment on your own through trial and error.

    • @mcswashbuckler3833
      @mcswashbuckler3833 4 года назад

      kulitmed the game is about exploration and discovery, but the game tells the player when they have a buff, but only some of the buffs that are applied. At least in my opinion, it doesn’t encourage the player to experiment with the armor, but discourages them from looking deeper because there’s no real reason to think the game would deliberately withhold information. Giving the player freedom is fine, but picking and choosing which buffs the player sees and which they don’t see feels unnecessary and unintuitive. The game does really well to encourage logical thinking with its shrine and korok seed puzzles, but doubles back on itself when it comes to the inventory screen. I love secrets to find in games, but when they’re so obscure and can’t be found by any process other than extensive testing or data mining, it becomes a chore to discover them
      TL;DR
      Hiding secrets in games can be fun, but Breath of the Wild’s picking and choosing of which buffs to tell the player about makes finding the hidden buffs a chore and discourages the player from searching for more secrets

    Fun FACT: The royal guard's armor actually decreases stamina uses for just about everything, to the point where dashing while swimming is more efficient and uses less stamina than just swimming, climbing uses almost as much stamina as leaping while climbing, and so on. Unless I'm wrong, I believe it actually uses less stamina while sprinting, too

    *Question about something that’s confusing me regarding the defense that armor gives you:* You said that the game calculates how much hearts you lose based on the enemy damage output and the armor you’re wearing, now what if i was wearing a set of armor (let’s say the barbarian set) that was maxed out to 20 armor points a piece, so if i was wearing the full barbarian set that would give me 60, and the silver bokobs damage output 24-60=-36....-36/4 is -9, meaning that if I should wear the maxed out barbarian set then technically no damage is supposed to be dealt to me, and that is impossible because obviously damage is done to me after i get hit, and that’s what’s confusing me; how does the game calculate this?

    Full swim buff is still way too slow.

      True haha - the base swim slow speed is so slow, that even the full swim buff doesn't make it better then walking 😂

      Indeed. It should be as fast as a zora.

    🧐 so then you can eat a attack up 3 and wear the snowquill outfit in the tabantha tundra when lynel hunting. And you’ll do the same amount of damage when wearing all 3 barbarian armour? 🤷‍♂️

      Omni Charlizard Yes that is indeed correct. I remember back when I didn’t know that and constantly swapped between the two armor sets

      Lol well no shit sherlock. Of course, why would it be any other way? The game literally shows your buffs on the menu screen.

      skins4thewin hey you turkey basting dipstick! The game doesn’t say if buffs stack 🤣

      @@Omnicharlizard Lol actually, it does. The buffs that are active are exactly as the game shows them, meaning they don't stack. There is a reason the game still only shows an x3 Attack buff when you try to stack them. My point is to just go by what the menu shows and you'll know what you can and can't do. That's just how this game happens to work aka no stacking.

    Does the attack buff also increase the damage while shooting with bow and arrow and throwing weapons?

    • @Croton
      @Croton  4 года назад +2

      Arrows, yes!!
      Throwing...honestly I can't remember off the top of my head, but I can get back to you on that!! I just know that it DOESNT work with the sword beams

      From a bit of testing, Attack Up does affect thrown weapon and bow damage. I also found that ice weapons deal 10 additional damage from freezing an enemy, and this damage is not affected by Attack Up.
      Data:
      Ice Claymore (base 30 damage, no Attack Up, thrown, icy): 70 damage
      Ice Claymore (base 30 damage, 3 levels Attack Up, thrown, icy): 100 damage
      Ice Spear (base 20 damage, no Attack Up, icy): 30 damage
      Ice spear (base 20 damage, 3 levels Attack Up, icy): 40 damage
      Ice spear (base 20 damage, no Attack Up, ice depleted): 20 damage
      Ice spear (base 20 damage, 3 levels Attack Up, ice depleted): 30 damage
      +15 Phrenic Bow (base 25 damage, no Attack Up): 25 damage
      +15 Phrenic Bow (base 25 damage, 3 levels Attack Up): 37 damage
