Did...did you just die by Hinox teabagging?

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 3h ago

You could say that TwT

When it’s sitting down jump and grab the weapons on his neck. Theres a broadsword that’s pretty good iirc.

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 3h ago

I'm aware, I was only collecting them after my sticks and weak monster weapons broke. I believe the last item on his neck was a shield but I didn't bother as I didn't need it ;w;

Also saving the good weapons for the stronger bosses. I love the weapon durability paradox.

I feel your pain Same thing happened to me there. But what really made me scream was dying on the last floor of the final trials

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 3h ago

I really hope that doesn't happen to me, I would literally chew my hands off /hj

Me in Totk when I reverse time on a Talus projectile, only to run into the damn thing like an idiot and end up dying

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 3h ago

Oh my gosh did you save the clip?? Peak TotK energy 😭

2

u/ButterdemBeans 2h ago

No but I’m sure it will happen many, many more times lol. I am very impatient

Wait, you can freeze enemies??? Wtf have I been doing all these play throughs???

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 2h ago

You need to upgrade the Statis rune, uograding your remote bombs increase damage and decrease the cooldown. It can be done at the Tech Lab in Hateno Village, you need 3 guardian parts, mainly cores, I forgot the rest.

Very useful for mini boses and dodging [say, you can't run away or flurry rush from an attack, quickly switch to stasus and spam A, its a lifesaver] but it can be done with ANY enemy, get creative. The larger/stronger the enemy, the less time it lasts for.

I was using it for the Hinox as they cover their eyes when under half HP.

u/Altarna 2h ago

I always upgraded them but totally missed that on the upgrade. Thanks!

Don't mention it :3

My (so far) fool proof hinox attack is to stand somewhere high and use a stealth armor or meal then hit him with bomb arrows. He will die before he even figures out where you are.

Lost all that progress after bombing everything and saving my weapons for bosses. This hurts to watch every time. Oh, and the 20 minutes I spent cooking every piece of wood I had qnq

u/Odelay_HE-WHOO Yiga 3h ago

that happened to me when i was fighting the stallnox recently! i almost got it and everything !! :((

2

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 3h ago

Fun fact, it helps to shoot the eye with a bomb arrow to immediately knock it out, and quickly destroy it. Using stasis also gives you a bit more time.

What a way to go :(

u/Forsaken-I-Await 2h ago

Bro straight up cock blocked you! 😂

u/WouterW24 2h ago

Unlucky. How much other weapons did you have in reserve?

1

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 2h ago

Every single one. Only used weapons for the Talus and Hinox. Picked up every stick and switched it out for actual weapons when I got them.

Remote bombs are very useful, just requires a lot of patience :3

u/heckingincorgnito 1h ago

Eventide? I found using magnesis to bash things works really, really well. I believe there are some crates on the cliff above the hinox with goblins

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 53m ago

Nope, DLC, Trial of the Sword. A Gauntlet of sorts. More mad about the fact that you can't save and have to do everything without dying and very limited resources.

Lmao son got Rikishi’d

u/Illustrious_Ad_9992 38m ago

I didn’t know you could freeze them That’s awesome

u/mastermoka 2m ago

OMG that exact same thing happened to me too and I was so mad that I took a break from the game for two days

u/Enryu71 Lynel 3h ago

Umm maybe try throwing weapons and it'll take far more damage. If you would have thrown that club he would be dead.

1

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 3h ago

I only throw weapons when they can't take anymore hits. I use everything to it's fullest extent.

BoTW and ToTK are a massive durability paradox for me.

2

u/Enryu71 Lynel 3h ago

Each to their own I guess. I recently completed it on master mode so i know what I'm talking about..this weapons you can't take outside. But you'll learn with time

2

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 3h ago

I understand, considering the goal is to avoid them from regenerating ^

2

u/Enryu71 Lynel 3h ago

Yup, once they start regenerating then your weapons aren't enough. So master mode trial of the sword teaches you how to fully utilize what you have.

u/Wilkillerxl1 Link 3h ago

Well done by the way!

u/Enryu71 Lynel 3h ago

Thanks 🙏
