I mean, why couldn't you parry them in the shrines if you can in the overworld?

Need to, no, not in the shrines. But I figured it would be a good place to practice if a shrine had one. And in the strength test ones, the guardian will eventually start lasering towards the end. Would be nice to just parry it back to finish it off, although it's fairly easy to dodge since it's stationary at that point.

Speaking of shrines, I'm finally past the halfway point. Something I find kind of odd:

You can parry some of the beams from the ones in the shrines but not all. If you want to practice parrying guardians then I recommend you just go to the stationary one at the great plateau and do the save and load thing noodle mentioned.

RE: shrines

Omg, there's another?!? :shock:

Just beat a Lynel and got this beast. Easily the strongest weapon I've seen in the game.

Hot crackers!

Haha sick rj

That was the first non-stationary guardian I laser parried

I had the game glitch out on me for the first time today. Not a frame drop or anything, a complete wtf kind of thing. I was near Kakariko foraging when I got the blood moon animation. It was 4:30 am game time, not midnight, and I had just had a blood moon like two game nights prior. Then it went black screen for maybe 45 seconds and started working correctly again. Quite strange.

There is an issue with the Switch in sleep mode screwing up the time in game. Shut it all the way down every once in a while and it will fix this.

My controller randomly starting bugging out yesterday, spinning me in circles. Detached the joysticks and same thing. Reattached to the handheld screen and everything works fine there. Weird stuff

Are you playing with the joycons? If so then the left one has a known problem where it messes up. If you send it back to Nintendo they fix it with a piece of foam that seems to do the trick.

I had that blood moon glitch happen to me last night

the one where it has repeated blood moons in the same night

some of the chests in the shrines are quite tricky.

it took me a long time to figure out how to get the second chest in the shrine near the lakeside stable.

yeah, the chests are often a lot harder than the shrine

pretty fun though

I wish shrine chests had better rewards, usually it isn't worth the effort

yeah, it's usually just an opal or something but I can't stand not having the chest icon for a shrine

If the chest is just too much trouble (which is of course completely arbitrary and can be different on any given day) I'll leave it, but I'd say the vast majority of my shrines are fully cleared.

I killed two Hinox today via the awe inspiring method of standing on a ledge over them and raining down bombs and bomb arrows until dead. I am a stud. If for whatever reason you need Hinox parts, though, it's not a bad idea to mark a location or two to return to after they respawn.

A minor control complaint (spoilers for side quest):



I think you know a game is good when grinding for supplies doesn't really feel like a chore. I'll just be jogging along to my destination then I see that sparkle of something collectible and the next thing you know it's two hours later and I forgot where I was going in the first place. Also one of the reasons I almost never horse - I'm having too much fun running around, climbing all the trees and scaling all the cliffs.

Finally I feel like a real moron, but I just found the inventory sorting button today.
