[details=Spoiler]Holy shit
Was that Island/Challenge/Shrine is a pain
Talk about being on Naked and Afraid…
And not being able to save on that Island
Took me for ever to take out the Hinox with Zero Suit Link
During the fight I though I can get the Hinox with a lightning bolt
Could not get the metal sword close enough, I stood on this cliff where the Hinox can’t reach me
He just threw rocks and missed each time, I threw bombs at him
Eventually I killed the sucker and cleared the Quest.
Protip

There is a small island north of EverTide with a chess on it. Save there
I finished Eventide Island a few nights ago. Place is definitely more managable with more hearts and the right help. When I was going for the last orb, I was slowly picking off Bokoblins with my bow. One had a Lizalfos Boomerang and was sitting there chilling with it during a thunderstorm. I love it when the weather does my job for me.
I decided to finally cave in and use the map that comes with the game’s guidebook I have hanging on my wall that I bought just as a decoration to find the last shrine I’ve spent days searching for and it turned out it was the one in a certain place named after a certain camera-shy hint-giver from Link’s Awakening.
It REALLY bugs me that I somehow overlooked a place named after such a memorable NPC out of all possible places.
Finally fought a Silver Lynel. Woo those suckers HURT! But by the time I fought second one, I had his attacks down. Blocked on time, dodge to get those flurry rushes. Oh and thank God for the Hylian Shield. That thing can stand up to a freaking nuclear blast!
I’ve been seeing folks sporting the Barbarian armor and I finally started finding the shrines that contain the pieces. I didn’t know it gave you attack up.
I also found out there is Rubber armor, which makes you immune to thunder storms! Want!
Unless it’s a perk for wearing the entire armor set, the immunity to thunder comes from a different trinket
(it should be obvious which one it is if you’ve done Vah Naboris)
Well i sort of have it that way, i enter the sanctum.

If you don’t finish the divine beasts you have to fight every boss back to back. in my case since i did one of them, i have to fight 3 bosses then ganon, and any death means you gotta restart. I don’t think you can save during the actual boss battle
about vah naboris:
Spoiler
When he does that one attack, you can just count his little movements prior to the actual attack. count to 3 then do a back flip and you will likely never take damage. i agree hes the hardest boss though
[details=Spoiler]Like I got to the last from of that Thunderblight boss fight, easy enough to figure that Magnesis trick in his “3rd” form out
Got Thunderblight HP to a single pixel, and then the bastard kills me as I was careless with my hearts.
Keep in mind I pretty much Marathon the first two divine Beasts. After that Death it was time for me to take a break and stop playing for a bit.
No a Rage quit, it was I was just tired at that point.
I though I could sail though Vah Naboris like I did with Vah Ruta. Hardest thing about Vah Ruta is dealing with the Lynel for the arrows. I actually tried fighting him first.
Nope, my armor and weapons isn’t good enough yet.
I did score all the pieces of the Rubber Armor, they are pretty easy to get a hold of if you know where to look. Although it’s not really needed for the fight.
I also managed to save up enough to buy up all the pieces of the Male Gerudo Armor

So last night I’m exploring so new snowy region I’ve never been in before and I lay waste to a Moblin camp of six black Moblins and one white Lizalfos. I decided to use the fire they had going to pass the time because I didn’t feel like dealing with any night time monsters. I sit until morning. BLOOD MOON CUT SCENE! I’m like “Is this game for real?” When morning comes, Link is sitting in the middle of six, SIX Black Bokoblins. Looking back on it, it was pretty funny.
Blood moon cut scenes are fricking annoying as it often resets the scene.
I was once working on a outdoor puzzle, and the Blood moon cut scene reset the fricking puzzle.
so i beat the game with the following:
one Divine beast
13 hearts (cryptic way of saying i had a certain item so i don’t spoil anything)
and the hylian shield.
next, i will go from the great plateau directly to Ganon. as long as you know how to dodge stuff he isn’t too bad. the guy hits hard though
Randomly found out that if you’re wearing metal equipment and you’re about to be hit by lightning, if you stand near a tree, lightning won’t hit you. The sparks that come off your gear will stop and the lightning will strike away from you.
