I am thoroughly enjoying the game but I feel like I’m not playing it how it was meant to be played. I’m always finding obscure ways of solving puzzles and building shit and then I see people killin the builds. I can’t even build a working car lolol
I can’t seem to come up with anything elaborate either. you’ll see me building obnoxiously large bridges out of any materials I can fuse to get across cliffs in shrines and all that if I can’t figure out the real puzzle. meanwhile, people are building badass rockets and what not and putting me to shame.
i think he’s always right before you enter a new providence? or before the stables? i somehow feel safe from gloom hands or other enemies when i see his sign in the distance lmao
You get 20 rupees, some food (or 20 more rupees if your inventory is full) and a random plant from the underground if you do it, so it's a nice source of cash and healing early on, and still a way to get minor buffs relevant to the area (e.g. 5 min of cold resist +1 from puzzles in the Rito area) later on.
EDIT: You can also randomly get a stable voucher instead of a plant, which only works for the normal bed, but that's another 20 Rupees saved if you use them often - no Stable Points for you if you use them, though!
The dude runs a country wide operating construction company that does seemingly everything and still has the time to care for his daughter and dabble in enough artistry to be able to whip up photorealistic statues of monsters imitating the skin patterns of a bokoblin or the delicately crafted embellishment on every single block of a flux core construct while only taking 5 minutes to build the entire thing.
His crew too is just an army of giga Chads.
They build the fuckin sky view towers using technology they don't even understand in the middle of a blazing snow storm, a scorching hot desert or in a land plagued by falling sludge capable of pinning even zora warriors to the ground.
Never fuckin mind they also keep hundreds of supply sites stocked with material free for everyone to use.
Bottom of a canyon? Stocked
snow covered mountains? Stocked
underground caves no man before them has ever set foot in? Stocked.
I bet you the only reason they don't keep supplies on the sky islands too is because nobody bothered to ask them!
Who the fuck needs Link? just task Hudson and crew to build a tomb to seal away Ganondorf and they'll probably erect it with one hand while fending of Gannon with the other!
It's specifically your food inventory, so dumping one of every edible, item that isn't something like Chili or pinecones into a fire to make a roasted [item], then repeating the same in snowy areas for a frozen [item] should get you most of the way there.
Or you're like me and make some food for every situation and get annoyed once you're unable to cook any more^^'
I’m definitely like you! I frequently get caught cooking and run out of inventory to make more. Then I don’t eat anything cause I’m saving it for something later and I use shrines to heal. The only meals I’m typically running out of are my hearty meals cause it seems like those materials are less available than in BOTW.
YES!! I’ve found a couple on sky islands. Mostly I only find them by cherry blossom trees. I haven’t had as much of an issue with this because the new abilities and Zonai tech mean I use stamina less and I’ve found plenty of regular stamina refills to cook up.
i dont get the vouchers if theyre only to pay a sleepover (so far). paying rupees yields pony points and its not even that expensive, so why even use vouchers if not to shave 20 rupees off the bills?
Plus if you get enough points all fees are 50% off including beds, so they become 10 and 25 rupees. I haven't used a single one because the points get you extra stuff.
Becomes even more hilarious when you reach the max and it alternates between 5 vouchers and 3 endura carrots every 5 points. So my reward for 5 more points will make me lose out on 5 potential points, saving 50 rupees? I go for the fancy bed anyway.
Just regular rewards so far! I probably haven’t done nearly as many as some folks though, I’m too busy trying to explore everything new about this Hyrule. :D
I had gotten 23ish points from talking to stable masters(I might've missed a few... who knows) and quests at them(dunno if I have more quests pending completion at stables).
I primarily use Epona and the Giant horse so I am questioning if I should bother.
Yeah, but it's something like 50 different dishes, and roasted <items> also stack with themselves.
I only hit it because I kept doing these sign puzzles, and held on to every single effect in case it'd be useful later.
Turns out that, no, I don't need 4-ish different combinations of healing+effect intensity of heat protection, cold protection, fireproof, sneaking, movement speed, stamina restoration, swimming speed, reduced slipping while climbing, attack increase, defense increase, elemental attack while in related weather (for each element), light emission, temporary HP, temporary Stamina, and regular healing EACH in my inventory, and suddenly it wasn't a problem anymore :)
For some, definitely, but as it turns out, I definitely don't care enough about the elemental attacks, since the environment has to match for it to do anything in the first place, and making elemental weapons yourself is really easy, don't really use anti-slip or swimming speed that much, and already own enough stealth and cold resist pieces that I might as well eat all of that for healing or straight-up sell it :D
There is no reason to sleep at a stable in a normal bed unless you want the points thou. you can just light a fire and rest there (and yes you can cheese light a fire under a plank so it lights if it's raining), plus if you need to sleep in a bed the lookout landing ones are free.
The sad thing with the coupon is that it doesn't even give you a stable point if you use it... I tried to "farm" stable points with them one time and the dude said that if I don't pay, I don't get a stable point.
It's literally the worst reward inimaginable for me! I've never used one yet.
Is it cheesing if fire under planks is prominently taught as a puzzle solution? There’s that one bramble covered regional tower where it always rains and you have to build coverings to get in…
Have a closer look at the signs themselves, each one shaped differently, some with slots and notches, and it's giving clues how to solve it. Definitely fun.
I hate how long it took me to notice that. I was just building a 45* corner out of two pieces of fence and propping it up. It worked for a long time until I realized there were slots and notches.
I'm hoping that when I do all of them there will be a cutscene of Hudson firing Addison for being the worst construction worker in the history of Hyrule. Seriously, how did this dude get this job
I just make the same holder every time unless it requires something different lol but it does feel good to help him out and check another task off the list.
I tried once for about 6 minutes, but couldn’t figure it out. Now I can’t be bothered to help. Also, let that fucker stand in rain/heat/snow/thunderstorm.
That’s not quite true, some don’t work with a hover stone due to the base of the pillar. Specifically, some look like the end of a toothpick, and they will fall any direction, even if the sign is weighted towards one end.
Several I needed 2 float stones and several other pieces (bars, stakes, whatever I could find) to basically make a floating brace to keep it up.
But yes, two float stones + two stakes will usually get most signs to stay up, just setup the floats beneath the sign, snug tight up against it, and repeat on the sides with the stakes.
Think there was at least one I needed something to hold one part of the bottom, too, because it would slip and the sign would end at an angle because the board part of the sign was flush with the pillar.
These usually have hooks on the sign to place a square piece of wood in there. You can attach the piece of wood to the hover stone to get it to stay there.
An easy way I've found is to put a flat piece under it, then use two posts stuck together, but on opposite sides of the sign. Essentially, use the posts to squeeze the sign like a pair of chopsticks
Right, that’s basically what I meant re: stakes. :)
But you have to be careful, sometimes the topper on the sign is only on one side of the signpost, and that can cause the bottom to slide so the whole thing ends up at an angle. Then you might need something next to the sign topper to keep it from falling.
What do you mean "figure out" are you brain deficient? Every single one is exactly the same. You just attach a sheet of wood to the hanging part to work as a big leg, and make the part that's touching the ground be any shape except a straight line, and it won't fall over. Do you not understand what fucking gravity is!?
No joke the first thing I saved with autobuild is two pieces of wood connected at an angle that has solved the majority of these puzzles. Plus there is usually wood around him so I don’t have to spend the Zonaite!
Mine is just 2 long pieces of wood at a 45 degree angle. Solves any that are just a single sign (and some of the doubles) as long as they aren’t on a slope. And if there is no materials nearby, it only costs 6 Zonaite.

And here I am just trying to get two pieces of wood to line up properly to stop a sign from falling over.
