Even More Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Zelda: Breath of the Wild

[Music] we've already shown off a multitude of mechanics and Concepts that the Legend of Zelda breath of the wild never explains outright yet there's so much more we're finding out about the game even beyond the 50h hour mark with so many Secrets still hidden in its Mysterious World we've compiled eight more useful things to know to help you on your journey be wary there are potential spoilers ahead if you enjoy this video like it and subscribe to our YouTube channel for more more features on breath of the wild and be sure to watch our previous videos on all the things I wish I knew before I started if you find a dog in any of the towns or Stables don't just Crouch down and nuzzle it feed the pup three pieces of meat or fruit to show it you care after doing so it'll lead you to a treasure chest hidden in the surrounding area for example if you feed the doggo in atano Village it takes you to a chest containing a silver rupee make sure to feed all the pups in Hyrule to acquire all sorts of secret treasure like in past Zelda games if you use excessive force against a cucko it'll call upon a swarm of its friends to attack you while triggering a CUO swarm isn't in your best interest it's possible to make it work in your favor simply grab a cucko and bring it with you into battle and whichever unfortunate enemy happens to hit you will be swarmed and pecked to death it's important to note that a CUO swarm only does minimal damage against higher leveled enemies like Guardians and lionels so don't push your [Music] luck Guardians are a tremendous threat early on mostly because of their incredibly destructive laser blasts but if you have decent reflexes you can actually Parry a guardian's laser blast with your shield and send it straight back at them to do so get close to a guardian and wait for it to charge up a shot when you hear a beep that's your cue to press a do this three times to make a standard Guardian explode though a stationary Guardian can be destroyed with one shot once you've mastered Perry and guardian shots these once dangerous foes become much less threatening it's also one of the most efficient ways to defeat a guardian as it doesn't require any weapon use nor does it wear down your Shield's durability be wary this tactic is incredibly ineffective against multiple Guardians as it can only be implemented while locking onto one of them so once again don't push your luck after spending hours traveling across Hyrule on Horseback do you ever find yourself wishing you could customize the appearance of your trusty Steed well breath of the wild makes it possible simply go to the outskirts stable which lies to the north of the great plateau and west of the Coliseum ruins when you reach the stable talk to Connie the lady tending the horses outside she offers to change out your hores s tile or Bridal with any new ones you found but she also lets you alter the man of your horse looking to style your horse's man with some sweet french braids or maybe you'd like to give it a long flowing green Mane Connie can make it happen I personally prefer the Mohawk man for opponent Junior here it's edgy keep in mind Connie only offers her services to horses that are raised with lots of love so if you don't have a Max bond with your horse she'll reject you have you ever spotted a guardian in the distance while in horse back and thought oh well looks like I'm not going that way well you'll be surprised to know that you can actually use your horse to charge straight through it simply spur your horse in the direction of an approaching guardian and watch as it tumbles over the both of you it's worth noting that if you don't charge through the guardian's center base it might not flinch much from your charge so be careful in your approach and make sure to keep spurring your horse on to maximize your force of impact this technique can also be used to repeatedly tear off a guardian's legs drastically hindering its movement you'll often encounter a fair amount of Rusty weapons which while useful at first eventually become obsolete as you find stronger weapons to add to your Arsenal but don't just ignore every Rusty weapon you find make sure to keep a couple in your inventory for the inevitable moment you encounter a rock octorok in the death mountain region this might seem strange but try tossing a rusty weapon onto the ground for the Little Critter to suck up after it does so wait a few seconds and it'll spit out the weapon in brand new condition keep in mind the weapon it spews out is randomized based on the weapon type for example if you toss it a rusty broadsword you might get a traveler sword while another time you'll get the more powerful Royal broadsword take advantage of this refurbishment technique to NAB some decently powered weapons often in your journey you'll work hard to figure out how to survive some of the world's more extreme weather conditions there are a few specialized clothing options and elixir that can help keep your body temperature in check but there's actually a little known alternative Elemental Weapons Elemental Weapons affect your body temperature and depending on which you choose your body temperature will either increase or decrease for example if you're in the hot Aid grudo Desert equipping an ice rod or a great Frost blade will lower your body temperature this is a handy technique to use in your travels as it lets you keep your stronger armor equipped while in extreme climates it's also a great option if you simply lack the other survival options Available to You hidden in the outskirts of high rule is a mysterious Merchant named kilton to find this eccentric Peddler wait until night time and then head to the left eye of skull Lake when you talk to kilton he tells you he's going to set up shop at various Villages across the land before disappearing to do just that to find him search the outskirts of any of the main villages in towns between 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. kilton shop is relatively easy to identify it appears as a patchwork hot air balloon from a distance once you find him kilton sells an assortment of useful and quirky monster related items such as the much sought-after monster extract cooking ingredient or a moblin mask which allows you to blend in with moblins however you can only purchase these items using a special currency known as M which you can Quire by trading in Monster parts to kilton make sure to visit kilton's shop often as he frequently stocks up on a variety of new and useful items after all you never know when you might need a bobblin mask to blend in/ party with a pack of unassuming boblins what other cool mechanics have you found let us know in the comments below and
