Difficulty
Breath of the Wild's sequel with Ultrahand, Fuse, Recall, and a three-layer map. Zonaite spent on Energy Cells will outpace almost any weapon you were hoarding for later.
Tips
- Start here
Fuse junk into hammers
A Stick plus a Boulder is a hammer. Spend crystallized charges at a Crystal Refinery on Energy Cells the moment you have a handful; the battery, not the next Sword of the Seven, is the real upgrade.
- Start here
Towers, then Depths
Unlock Skyview Towers before you chase main quest markers. Cook Stamella Shrooms with any meat for stamina meals before you start diving chasms; the Depths are a stamina tax first.
- Advanced
Recall is infinite height
Recall a falling object, a shield-surfed minecart, or your own Hover Stone and you can climb anything. Gerudo Scimitar of the Seven fused to a Silver Lynel Saber Horn is the late-game melt once durability is no longer the limiter.
- Advanced
Zonai devices are ammo
Fans, rockets, and steering sticks in a hoverbike will outrun horse travel across the Depths. Don't hoard devices in the pouch; Autobuild remembers the schematic once you have built it once.
- Secrets
Bargainer statues trade Poes
The Lookout Landing statue next to Josha is the only one on the surface. Depths Bargainers sell the Dark armor set and will mark sibling statues if you spend Poes instead of wandering every lightroot first.
- Secrets
Yiga schematics match the surface
Yiga chests in the Depths sit under surface camps of the same name. Mineru's Construct Factory is in the southwest Depths; her spirit is the Sage you actually use as a battery, not as a fighter.
- Bosses
Gleeoks want eyeball arrows
Keese Eyeball arrows stun each head. After the knock-down, Ascend through a thrown platform or bomb-flower the updraft. King Gleeok is a hoverbike or spring-to-sky fight, not a ground fight.
- Bosses
Gloom Hands then Phantom Ganon
Bomb Flowers break the hands before they pile on. Fight Phantom Ganon by circling on clean ground; gloom puddles under Hyrule Castle will eat your hearts faster than his sword will.
