TheAccountant1000 it’s just an upgrade to your master sword damage. It isn’t all that. There are so many good weapons you don’t have to do this unless you want 100% the game
I think this is awesome! I just want to mention a good piece of advice I didnt saw here... On the first Stone Talus, dont waste your weapons or hearts. Climb a tree and use magnesis on the two metal boxes to hit the ore on his back - you‘ll get him knocked out pretty quick without wasting any resources or hearts.
Wished I’d thought of this strat before TT. Relied on bombing his arms to knock him down and then (inaccurately) bombing the ore on his back. Ok strat, bombed half of my health away.
I remember struggling on this years ago, and conquering them over and over again for fun. Fast forward to now and let’s just say I’ve been humbled by Master Mode
@@Amber21gem dunno if you already figured this out but you upgrade them with guardian drops at the observatory tower. Forget the exact name but you should already know where it's at if you've been following your quests
for beginner trials, I recommend cutting trees in the first level to get a koror leaf, you can blow enemies into the water and save durability and arrows
To add to that tip, gather wood put it in a cooking pot. it will make a meal that heals only half a heart, it could come in handy for people who need as much heals as possible
Also somthing you missed: Once your done with a floor chop all the trees down and when you get to a rest point cook them 1 by 1 and that will give you some rock food it may give 1/4 of a heart but it helps a lot if you’ve got a bunch of them
I mean I guess, I feel like the weapons breaking after 15 trees makes that not worth it when you get to make actual dishes if you play it careful for the first few rounds
Tip for floor 12 in the beginning trials: Save the lightning rod from the Wizzrobe earlier on in floor 8, then use it on the Hinox to stun it (the Hinox has metal cuffs on its legs)
You can also shoot the eye, attack and after he gets up, use Stasis and shoot the eye again. In the time the Hinox is stunned and gets up again, your Stasis Rune will be recharged and you can repeat it until it dies.
"Level 17 is going to be one of the easiest levels you'll be doing. Its a lynel" The irony in that sentence Edit: I’m not saying Lynels are hard for everyone, but lynels can be hard for new players. That’s all
I only can’t beat gold lynels I only bought the DLC for the trial of the sword and the ex treasures but now I’m mad when I go to places I always use to go to and get destroyed by a gold lynel
@@lotakulol6419 I keep at least 2 ancient arrows on me at all times, just for this scenario, I wanted the armor that's in the Coliseum, and there's a strong Lynel, but one ancient arrow took him out.
Lotaku Lol How far are you into the game? I managed to beat about 6 gold lynels by only using 52 savage lynel swords and lynel bows with regular arrows, but that maybe because I got too used to their attacks. The only lynel Im having trouble with is the crusher lynels. Its now a bit easier for me because I have all 4 abilities. I can now take more risks and will usually try to shoot its face as its charging at me because I have the protection ability.
Dude, last week I’ve decided it was finally time to start the DLC, and while I did everything rather quickly, Trial of the Sword, that final trial took me literal days! THIS GUIDE, my man, I can’t thank you enough for the help you’ve given me and countless others, you’ve been such a tremendous help! Already looking forward to watching your BOTW2 videos
Tip: Don’t try to shield parry all the guardians in the final trials. Jump off of something for bullet time and hit the guardians in the eye with an ancient arrow for an OHKO. Way faster, way easier
The only things I didn't shield parry were the Skywatchers and Turrets, the Turrets are just better to spam regular arrows, and then use Ancient Arrows for the two Skywatchers because I can't be fucked dealing with those annoying ass Guardians
Earlier today I was doing these, and I got all the way to the final floor, I had killed everything but the Lynel, and then, like amazing player I am, I accidentally killed myself with a bomb arrow.
OffYourTopic propepanal (I also died on the lynel, and I was on my first run as well, I though I could first try the final trails, but the experienced person I am, I found out the hard way that the lynel fire blast can take away all of your health..
One big tip I can give to you as a Trial of the Sword veteran, is after you defeat all of the enemies in a room, blow up all the trees in the room and collect it’s wood. Then, when you find a cooking pot, just cook a whole ton of Rock-Hard food with the wood. But DON’T use more than one bundle of wood to make your Rock-Hard food because it doesn’t matter if you use one wood bundle or two, your Rock-Hard food will only give you a quarter of a heart anyway. I’ve found that the average amount of wood bundles you can get before reaching a break room is around 40. So with that, you can make enough Rock-Hard food to replenish 10 hearts! Yes, it does take some time to do this, but it’ll be worth it in the end, and you can thank yourself for taking this tip!
Btw in the final trials first rest area there are two hearty truffles i made the mistake of cooking them together but I recommend cooking then separate bc you can get two dishes that revocer all your hearts incase you get really low and have no other options :D Edit: you could use wood as rock hard food only recovers a quarter heart tho
I AM GOING INSANE, I HAVE DONE ALL THE SHRINES, I HAVE A LEVEL 3 DEFENSE BUFF FOR 30 MINUTES AND IVE TRIED DOING IT 30 TIMES ON MASTER MODE update: i did it :)
I just got BOTW and a few days in beat the trials on my first try with 13 hearts and 2 stamina bars. I was so happy and proud, threw away all my other swords only to learn that the Master Sword can still loose power... :') Kudos though, your trial videos helped me a ton.
Late to the party, but at least I finished the trial before botw 2. Some lessons I learned: 1:23 Defence buff preferably. Bone enemies can be one-shot anyway. Defense buff also stops your bomb from killing you. 4:52 Chuchus, pebbles, red goblins, just bomb them. Then switch to the other bomb and bomb them again. Practice using bombs in advance is really helpful here. 8:35 You can still bomb enemies if you time it right. Or if you bomb parry. Red goblins die to one bomb so it really helps here. 10:52 Bomb can stop both of them at once. Can you tell I like bombs? 15:58 Make sure you only have 2 fairies or less before entering here, or the new fairies don't spawn! 16:20 Gardiants here are don't wake up 2 at a time. It's proximity-based. So you can have four shooting you at once, chain stunning you to death. Try to stay beside large trees. They can't be knocked down so you always have covers. 16:36 Stand in water when fighting guardians. If you fail a parry water will put out the fire. 16:42 Antient arrow those skywatchers. You can find 9 ancient arrows and they take too long to shield deflect.
Semi helpful tip: In the rest stops of the trial, something I’d do is explode all of the trees to bundles of wood, then cook them each individually. It only gives you a quarter of a heart each, but you can get a couple more full hearts out of the deal, and sometimes it makes all the difference. Keep in mind that you have to cook each bundle individually. Do not cook them together, because then it won’t give you as much as if you did it in singles. It’s a tedious process, but I found it worth it. It helped me in a few pinches I found myself in. 😅 Hope this helps someone.
I know there's always been hot debate about whether Attack X3 or Defense X3 is more useful for the trials, and I'd say unless you're an expert who hardly ever gets hit, then Defense X3 is far more useful. The Defense buff has a rather large effect when not wearing any armor at all & really reduces the damage you take when armorless. The opposite is true for an attack buff, as weak weapons will see very little gain at all.
Learn how to flurry rush in the regular world fighting lynels once you know their attacks then fighting them is a breeze and trust me those weapons are helpful as hell
I went in totally unprepared, and unknowing of anything within the levels, struggled a bit, planned as I went, and succeeded. This feels like a real achievement
You forgot that you can collect the wood from all the rooms to make rock-hard food, it doesn't heal much, but if stack like 50 or so wood logs, it can heal enough to save your life.
Trial of the sword aaaaah so many great memories like that time i defeated the fire talus but landed on its arm during his death animation and died because of that aaaaah truly great
@@vergodagoat no you cant its a mini boss, all the talusses are still solid during their death animation so if the arms are still on fire you can still get set on fire
I figured out a little thing on my own by accident. If you use Stasis in a room, it'll show objects you wouldn't see otherwise with the grasses, or if you used a bomb and some food exploded from a box, you can still find it. 😉
I have te fully uprgaded master sword in master mode, with only 8 hearts. I followes a glitch that allows you to skip all the trails. Works on the switch perfectly as of today. If you do it right, you can have the fully upgraded sword in 30 minutes or less.
czcams.com/video/Z2vPSXYv5DI/video.html here is how to do it. Hope this helps. It really makes master mode so much easier, to have the fully uprgaded master sword from early on
It took me 10 hrs just to beat beginner trials, 3 for middle (must’ve gotten better), still on final (UPDATE: took me 6 hrs on final... beat it, done, and God has a special place in hell for this challenge)
I just wanna say thank Austin John plays for this epic walkthrough of this, I attempted to do the master sword trials today but I watched your videos and followed exactly what you did, and it was a piece of cake( kinda), much appreciated, thank you!!!🙏💜💯🔥
Hey Austin! Its been years since I’ve watched this video, but I just want to say thank you for all the tips. Before watching your video, I was really struggling with the final trial. After I watched your video and used all the tips, I completed it in a few tries. The master sword on its final level is very overpowered.
It took me like 3 years to complete the trials (mainly because of a 2 year break I took). I am really glad this video exists, and I’ve always watched it every time before going into the trials
I personally think that repeatedly finessing your way through a wall and smacking a Hinox with a metal crate is the best strategy, but this is cool too.
@@gauthams6732 You can do it on any. Its all in the same world. You faze through the wall and run back to the beginning trials henox and beat it. Whatever trials your on whether beginning, middle, or final trials the henox advances you to the sword room.
Ikr xD I tried using magnesis to get all my stuff back but nope xD it’s so stupid how magnesis doesn’t work in lava (only if botw was more unrealistic xD)
Thanks to this video I was able to complete the Master Trials two hours before the North American release of Tears of the Kingdom. Thanks Austin John Plays!
This guide single handedly allowed me to beat trials of the sword. Austin, you're a God brother!! Also for anyone who might see this comment, on the final trial, SAVE YOUR BOMB ARROWS. You don't need to use them before the last room. Use ancient arrows on the three different guardian level and you will still have plenty for the last level. Use those bomb arrows on the bokoblins! Use a metor rod to fly up, and just bomb those suckers. It's not worth risking the run, and it's the last level.
Still watching this in 2022, I used to watch this in 2019 when I got my first switch and I was obsessed by botw then my switch broke. Now I am getting an OLED switch and on the grind again. Thank u for making these videos it helps a lot ❤️
@@dffndjdjd The reason for that is that the trials are based on the 3 goddess, representing power, courage and wisdom. The first trial is pure combat based, the second tests your courage by representing common fears like darkness and height, the third tests your knowledge by putting you in harsh areas against strong enemies, that are easily beaten if you know their weakness. The 3rd trial may appear very challenging for someone not knowing the pros of certain tools giving to you, but make it so much easier if you do.
I finally did it, Thanks so much Austin John Plays. Your guide really helped me a lot. The beginning trials were a cakewalk if you know what you're doing, the middle trials was much easier, but the final trials, you have to utilize your resources you find and made sure to strategically use the fields on the last levels to your advantage.
Those tips were really helpful. I died once on the tenth floor of the first trial, because I was careless and fell into the water. On my second attempt, I got through all the trials smoothly. It's a cool challenge, but as long as you're careful, there's nothing to fear. But to be fair, I have yet to check out Mastermode.
I just wanted to thank you Austin, I just completed the third trial, all of your tips were on point, 30 min defense buff, practice shield parrying, turn on treasure chest scan and reminders on how to kill each mob. When I got to the last rest area no fairies spawned and I'll admit I started to freak out. I then remembered from your other video about only having 3 in your inventory, used the hold trick and BAM 6 fairies! Thanks again!
You are literally the first person I've seen to explain that this was a part of an expansion pack. I was looking for an easy way to recharge the master sword without breaking it and kept getting angrier and angrier because nobody would explain how to get the quest to start with in any of their videos. So, thank you.
Yoooo I just beat the final trial on the first try! I thought it would take atleast 3 tries. I used this guide for almost every room so some of the credit belongs to you Austin ^^
Equipped with any fire weapon has cold resistant effect even if you don’t eat spicy sautéed peppers, and when you stand near ice, it melts. So this can buy you a lot of time to cook and find tools, or sneak around:)
Lol same. Good thing I beat the middle trials on first try otherwise I would’ve given up. I haven’t tried the end trials yet because I know I will rage
Public service announcement to everyone struggling to beat the trials: harvest every piece of wood you can find. You can throw an individual piece of wood in the pot for rock hard food, that heals 1 quarter heart. It's not much, but you can get like 20-30 of them by the time you get to a rest area. So if every heart matters, cook some logs.
Here I am, 4 years later, trying it again. They changed the trials a bit. No more chests on the wall in the beginning trial. On final now, didn't remember the middle trials enough to tell if there were any changes. This tutorial is far better than the ING walkthrough.
5 years later and I finally beat the Final Sword Trial with your tips! I missed 3 ancient arrows hidden in a chest due to lava, but managed to get the other 6. I saved 2 on floor 22 by just sneak attacking with Stasis, normal arrows and bombs while hiding in the castle tower and lots of patience. So for floor 23 I had 2 ancient arrows left. I've got no special skills or what so ever. So if I can do it really anyone can 🤓
i was on floor 12 of the Beginning Trials (at low health), i climbed onto the Hinox to steal his weapons, and i woke him up by attacking him while still on him, and he killed me by GETTING UP!! it was hilarious but at the same time so agravating!
He got me too. I was standing in front of him, getting ready to swing the bone axe in the spin attack and he got up and insta killed me. Never even touched me.
Nintendo has a repair page on their website that is pretty much just for joycon drift. You’ll find it pretty easily if you do a little searching. Oh, and they fix *all* your joycons for free.
Mine got so bad about 70% of the way through the game I had to finally break down & get a Split Pad Pro. Having to put a regular one back in for the rare remaining apparatus bit (SPP doesn't do gyro or rumble, but is otherwise *infinitely* more comfortable & satisfying, even with my weird big palm/stubby sausage fingers combo) in shrines is just *brutal*. 😭
Dude. You are a Hero. As someone who isn't the best at games, but still a sucker for 100%, I didn't think I had a chance. But. I actually did it. With 2 tries on each. You are such a Chad
15:35 "Level 17 is going to be one of the easiest levels your gonna be doing. It's a Lynal." "...And if you're anything like me, you've already farmed these things to near extinction," is what he should've said.
Lol I usually end up doing that too & end up w a full inventory of rock hard food, although it ends up being completely unnecessary as I hardly take any damage. I usually only end up getting hit once or twice at most thru the entire thing, so I don't even end up needing to heal.
This vid was super helpful, I kept dying over and over again in the beginning trials, after I watched the vid, I did the entire Trial Of The Sword in one go.
I did pretty well on Initial and middle trials. Managed to succeed with middle trials on the first attempt! Gonna start final trials now and see what happens.
tips : for the first trial, grab a korok leaf in the early floor (you can get those from destroying trees). in floor 11 when you arrive at the base of the ennemis, aim with that leave (by holding the ''throw'' button) to push bokoblins into the water no trouble at all. it can shoot wind through wall and floors so don't hesitate to take them all out without leaving the bottom of the tower. ps: does not work on moblins. for the third trial : on the floor 7, there is a rusty claymore on the isolated pillar. take it before killing the only fire oktorok. instead of using elemental weapons or arrows to take out pebbits, use your bombs. this works as well for ice pebbits. on the floor 21 : instead of using your ancient arrows on the propellers, jump an slow-mo with your bow to hit it in the ''eye''. it'll one-shot it. (i was raging to see how austin john just wasted ancient arrows on the propellers. don't do that like him) for the rest, the video was awesome and complete enought so i've nothing else to add... if you ever read me austin john(that i hightly doubt), awesome job, continue like this please!!!
I used this guide a while ago for completing the trial of the sword in my normal play through and it was extremely helpful. And now I’m trying it in master mode and it’s a little bit harder but this guide is really helpful
I struggled terribly with these sword trials and took a lot of time effort and had to be very patient. My brother is my mentor with this game and he taught me a good back up if you run out of food. You can make rock hard food. You do this by bombing trees down every chance you get and cooking the wood one peace at a time. Its slow and boring but its clever and resourceful those extra health points coulld save you in a pinch. I was able to over come the final trial despite the third break place not spawning any fairies and it took a lot of time and deaths to finally succeed so I am very happy now ^^ good luck every one just remember to never give up because if you are stubborn and patient you will eventually succeed ^^
I recommend cutting down some trees and collecting wood during the trials. If you mess up and get hurt, you can cook food between rest areas to fill up more hearts. Also in the first part of the second trial I let the bokoblins shoot fire arrows into the boxes while I hid behind them so the food inside would get cooked. This helped me because I didn't think to boost my defense before entering the trials.
Angelita Ellison If you have the time and desperation, you can collect as much wood as possible and cook them at the cooking pot. It will healt 1/4 of a heart.
I didn't do that (on purpose, at least) because those first floors aren't too difficult except for the stationary Guardian, and those don't help too much. I just waited until I got to the rest area to cook things. But you do you.
+Ninjaananas I would just use them as firewood for cooking food like Angelita Ellison described. I don't think a quarter of a heart is too useful. But if it's the Beginning or Middle Trials, then you won't really need firewood except for cooking. If it's the Final Trials, you should use the wood for firewood in the ice levels.
+Ninjaananas I mean you should use it for firewood for cooking food if there aren't any rest areas left and you can't find cooking pots on a floor or you can't light it. I already finished the Trial of the Sword and I didn't use wood at all. I kinda wish I did, but oh well.
advice: Don't die. Edit: Just beat the trial of the sword, ran out of ancient arrows before the last level so had to fight the lynel... almost died T_T
Ancient arrows are useless against lynels when you want the drops/items - but this is not the case here. If you literally want the lynel gone without a trace, then they are perfect.
What I did is I cut down the trees to gather wood, and then cooked each piece of wood alone to get a quarter of a heart each. All of them together are only around four hearts, but it helped.
This comment helped so much! One quarter heart may not seem like much, but when you have like 50+ pieces of wood, those one quarter hearts add up! This comment needs to be closer to the top.
I beat the final trials yesterday and I've never felt more accomplished. I didn't have any ancient arrows going in to the last area so I had to beat the Lynel by hand. I lost all of my faries and food almost immediately because of the bokoblins but I was eventually able to beat the Lynel and the Guardian on my first try.
Late comment but it’s possible to cook rock hard food with the wood, and considering how much wood you can get, it adds up a lot. Also if you have completed all the shrines for hearts and stamina, and found enough korok’s for the weapon, shield and bow slots, that’s gonna help you out. And upgrading your bomb and stasis runes will help you. And lastly, for metal boxes with loot inside, don’t waste your sledgehammer’s durability on it, use magnesis, use the right analog stick to move the box as high as possible, and flick your controller, joycon(s) or switch, (whichever one your using) so that the velocity of the box is going so fast it breaks.
I just finished the Trial of the Sword for the first time today. I was so nervous about doing it but I'm so glad that I did. Sure, it wasn't on master mode (which I probably won't be doing anytime soon) but I'm still really proud of myself lol. Great video, Austin!
Misty Wolf with enough time and practice (and possibly tears as you cry because the silver lizalfos killed you for the 17 time, trust me, he is the sole reason for my new quest to get 999 of every kind of lizalfos piece in my master mode run) you could definitely do it. The hardest part is (as far as I have gotten) is the parts where you have to fight the lizalfos and make sure that they do not fall in the water (especially with the silver lizalfos, because then you can’t melee them so you have to run away or use almost all of your arrows on killing one of them). It is basically just a bunch of trial and error that I have honestly only found the time to do because of current events.
You know what? The master sword doing 30 damage is fine for me
Lmfao facts
I’m going to try this on Master Mode. ^^ I’m sure the end result will be satisfying

@@milesrandolph501 There's also a decrease in the durability damage so it sticks around for even longer before breaking.

Step 4 : profit

I think this is awesome! I just want to mention a good piece of advice I didnt saw here... On the first Stone Talus, dont waste your weapons or hearts. Climb a tree and use magnesis on the two metal boxes to hit the ore on his back - you‘ll get him knocked out pretty quick without wasting any resources or hearts.

How far are you into the game? I managed to beat about 6 gold lynels by only using 52 savage lynel swords and lynel bows with regular arrows, but that maybe because I got too used to their attacks. The only lynel Im having trouble with is the crusher lynels.

Don’t try to shield parry all the guardians in the final trials. Jump off of something for bullet time and hit the guardians in the eye with an ancient arrow for an OHKO. Way faster, way easier
I used stasis + I was not effing around 💀
Remember to save 1 arrow for lynel
Sure but you only have 8 by that point. Maybe 9. Unless the flying ones die to an ancient arrow in the eye?
The only things I didn't shield parry were the Skywatchers and Turrets, the Turrets are just better to spam regular arrows, and then use Ancient Arrows for the two Skywatchers because I can't be fucked dealing with those annoying ass Guardians

One big tip I can give to you as a Trial of the Sword veteran, is after you defeat all of the enemies in a room, blow up all the trees in the room and collect it’s wood. Then, when you find a cooking pot, just cook a whole ton of Rock-Hard food with the wood. But DON’T use more than one bundle of wood to make your Rock-Hard food because it doesn’t matter if you use one wood bundle or two, your Rock-Hard food will only give you a quarter of a heart anyway. I’ve found that the average amount of wood bundles you can get before reaching a break room is around 40. So with that, you can make enough Rock-Hard food to replenish 10 hearts! Yes, it does take some time to do this, but it’ll be worth it in the end, and you can thank yourself for taking this tip!
You can also get acorns which give you a bit more food
There isnt a genius in the comment sectio--
Good thing I found out 2 weeks ago
I didn’t even realize you could cook wood lol
Hi
Btw in the final trials first rest area there are two hearty truffles i made the mistake of cooking them together but I recommend cooking then separate bc you can get two dishes that revocer all your hearts incase you get really low and have no other options :D
Edit: you could use wood as rock hard food only recovers a quarter heart tho
I AM GOING INSANE, I HAVE DONE ALL THE SHRINES, I HAVE A LEVEL 3 DEFENSE BUFF FOR 30 MINUTES AND IVE TRIED DOING IT 30 TIMES ON MASTER MODE
update: i did it :)
nice, I'm on Master Mode as well, just because of the golden monsters, because they look pretty, otherwise, I wouldn't have started it in Master Mode.
Congrats
i like the screaming and going insane instantly changes to "i did it :)" xdd
Great job dude, master mode is hell 🤣
How did you get the 30 minute level 3 defense buff?
I just got the game and the expansion pass ._. I'm 3 years to late and I watch these daily
I got the game 2 weeks after it came out but i got the expansion pack 1 week Ago and i Still play it 24/7

That’s literally Link’s job. His only job is to be a hero.

So true
Tip: for the fire chuchus level, you can throw the hammer up at the wood plans to bring down the chests
Even easier, bomb
Great tip!
you can also throw a bundle of wood into a grass fire, add three more wood, and make an updraft.
Pro tip, when melting stuff on the final trials ice floors, make sure to grab wood before hand to melt them faster and save defense time

I just got BOTW and a few days in beat the trials on my first try with 13 hearts and 2 stamina bars. I was so happy and proud, threw away all my other swords only to learn that the Master Sword can still loose power... :')
Kudos though, your trial videos helped me a ton.
Late to the party, but at least I finished the trial before botw 2.
Some lessons I learned:
1:23 Defence buff preferably. Bone enemies can be one-shot anyway. Defense buff also stops your bomb from killing you.
4:52 Chuchus, pebbles, red goblins, just bomb them. Then switch to the other bomb and bomb them again. Practice using bombs in advance is really helpful here.
8:35 You can still bomb enemies if you time it right. Or if you bomb parry. Red goblins die to one bomb so it really helps here.
10:52 Bomb can stop both of them at once. Can you tell I like bombs?
15:58 Make sure you only have 2 fairies or less before entering here, or the new fairies don't spawn!
16:20 Gardiants here are don't wake up 2 at a time. It's proximity-based. So you can have four shooting you at once, chain stunning you to death. Try to stay beside large trees. They can't be knocked down so you always have covers.
16:36 Stand in water when fighting guardians. If you fail a parry water will put out the fire.
16:42 Antient arrow those skywatchers. You can find 9 ancient arrows and they take too long to shield deflect.
Thanks very useful
This comment should be much higher, I was so confused when the three fairies didn't spawn + the proximity based guardians level messed me up so bad
I've killed myself with my own remote bombs too many times......
Me too
@@Sensei-gk3wo Yeah, the beginning trials were the hardest for me. It was a shock to the system XD The Master Sword is definitely worth it though!

The easiest thing that you can do to avoid killing yourself is to not stand where you would stand near bombs in a normal Zelda game.
For the Hinox. Stasis was my best friend.

Semi helpful tip: In the rest stops of the trial, something I’d do is explode all of the trees to bundles of wood, then cook them each individually. It only gives you a quarter of a heart each, but you can get a couple more full hearts out of the deal, and sometimes it makes all the difference. Keep in mind that you have to cook each bundle individually. Do not cook them together, because then it won’t give you as much as if you did it in singles. It’s a tedious process, but I found it worth it. It helped me in a few pinches I found myself in. 😅 Hope this helps someone.
I know there's always been hot debate about whether Attack X3 or Defense X3 is more useful for the trials, and I'd say unless you're an expert who hardly ever gets hit, then Defense X3 is far more useful. The Defense buff has a rather large effect when not wearing any armor at all & really reduces the damage you take when armorless. The opposite is true for an attack buff, as weak weapons will see very little gain at all.

You forgot that you can collect the wood from all the rooms to make rock-hard food, it doesn't heal much, but if stack like 50 or so wood logs, it can heal enough to save your life.
“Well placed bombs”
*Throws bomb and detonates too early**
or blow myself up
Luchee When your running away just drop the bomb and the bokoblins will just run into it.
That's how I died in the beginning trials and I was so mad

@@vergodagoat no you cant its a mini boss, all the talusses are still solid during their death animation so if the arms are still on fire you can still get set on fire
@@johannesboomsma4680 R.I.P
I figured out a little thing on my own by accident. If you use Stasis in a room, it'll show objects you wouldn't see otherwise with the grasses, or if you used a bomb and some food exploded from a box, you can still find it. 😉
Oh nice catching that but this been known for awhile now
Do not hit the boxes with your weapons because durability is important
Only hit boxes with the axes
No use bombs.
Hit the boxes with an axe, if you use bombs the items go flying and good luck finding them.
Have fun wasting axe durability
Bruhs the ax is 3 damage but you can break all the boxes you want it’s not worth using as a weapon
I just realized something!
I’m not doing this in master mode
HELLL NO master mode is impossible for trial of the sword
Lol I'm not doing it at all. Just grab the 30 damage knock off master sword and I'm calling it done.
I have te fully uprgaded master sword in master mode, with only 8 hearts. I followes a glitch that allows you to skip all the trails. Works on the switch perfectly as of today. If you do it right, you can have the fully upgraded sword in 30 minutes or less.

I just started botw a week ago and I don't know how to get the ex sword trial quest and it does not let me put the master sword in the pedestal
Hey Austin! Its been years since I’ve watched this video, but I just want to say thank you for all the tips. Before watching your video, I was really struggling with the final trial. After I watched your video and used all the tips, I completed it in a few tries. The master sword on its final level is very overpowered.
If you wanna practice with shield parrying, a fun way of doing it is by killing a Guardian Stalker with a pot lid.
Im guessing thats a reference to how link became zeldas appointed knight?
Pot lid OP
It took me like 3 years to complete the trials (mainly because of a 2 year break I took). I am really glad this video exists, and I’ve always watched it every time before going into the trials
Did you forget to eat the wood
I did this a year ago and honestly if it wasn't for this guide, I wouldn't have been able to get these done.
I personally think that repeatedly finessing your way through a wall and smacking a Hinox with a metal crate is the best strategy, but this is cool too.

Thanks to this video I was able to complete the Master Trials two hours before the North American release of Tears of the Kingdom. Thanks Austin John Plays!
This guide single handedly allowed me to beat trials of the sword. Austin, you're a God brother!!
Also for anyone who might see this comment, on the final trial, SAVE YOUR BOMB ARROWS. You don't need to use them before the last room. Use ancient arrows on the three different guardian level and you will still have plenty for the last level. Use those bomb arrows on the bokoblins! Use a metor rod to fly up, and just bomb those suckers. It's not worth risking the run, and it's the last level.
Lol, to break metal boxes I use magneis, lift the object high, drop it, and pray I don’t kill myself
Rishi Rajamani honestly I was really surprised to see you could bomb them 😂. I thought you had to use magnesis

I used a bokoblin that had a bat so I did not use the durability then I killed it lol

@@dffndjdjd yup, thats a good strat you should use for the normal game, but here hearts are more important than weapons
Thanks for tip
Christopher Springs ooooooooooooooooooooof
@@dffndjdjd The reason for that is that the trials are based on the 3 goddess, representing power, courage and wisdom.
The first trial is pure combat based,
the second tests your courage by representing common fears like darkness and height,
the third tests your knowledge by putting you in harsh areas against strong enemies, that are easily beaten if you know their weakness. The 3rd trial may appear very challenging for someone not knowing the pros of certain tools giving to you, but make it so much easier if you do.

I finally did it, Thanks so much Austin John Plays. Your guide really helped me a lot.

I then remembered from your other video about only having 3 in your inventory, used the hold trick and BAM 6 fairies! Thanks again!

Yoooo I just beat the final trial on the first try! I thought it would take atleast 3 tries. I used this guide for almost every room so some of the credit belongs to you Austin ^^
Equipped with any fire weapon has cold resistant effect even if you don’t eat spicy sautéed peppers, and when you stand near ice, it melts. So this can buy you a lot of time to cook and find tools, or sneak around:)
I hate that when I die i start over that makes me want to beat apart my switch
Can't you just pause and save?
No in this trial you can’t save and it takes you to your recent save before the trial started
Lol same. Good thing I beat the middle trials on first try otherwise I would’ve given up. I haven’t tried the end trials yet because I know I will rage
Low key want to through switch out a window
Don't do master mode
Public service announcement to everyone struggling to beat the trials: harvest every piece of wood you can find. You can throw an individual piece of wood in the pot for rock hard food, that heals 1 quarter heart. It's not much, but you can get like 20-30 of them by the time you get to a rest area. So if every heart matters, cook some logs.
It works but I feel bad for link just eating rocks poor guy.😂
Here I am, 4 years later, trying it again. They changed the trials a bit. No more chests on the wall in the beginning trial. On final now, didn't remember the middle trials enough to tell if there were any changes. This tutorial is far better than the ING walkthrough.

In the last break room the fairies won't spawn if you already have 3. So before you enter use or release one.
5 years later and I finally beat the Final Sword Trial with your tips! I missed 3 ancient arrows hidden in a chest due to lava, but managed to get the other 6. I saved 2 on floor 22 by just sneak attacking with Stasis, normal arrows and bombs while hiding in the castle tower and lots of patience. So for floor 23 I had 2 ancient arrows left. I've got no special skills or what so ever. So if I can do it really anyone can 🤓
i was on floor 12 of the Beginning Trials (at low health), i climbed onto the Hinox to steal his weapons, and i woke him up by attacking him while still on him, and he killed me by GETTING UP!! it was hilarious but at the same time so agravating!
Yeah - it is so weird not having end game amour. It got so used to tanking, that I have a lot of trouble to conserve health.
He got me too. I was standing in front of him, getting ready to swing the bone axe in the spin attack and he got up and insta killed me. Never even touched me.

@@osmosisv9502 im also, and after that i beat the middle trials in the first time and now im in the final
The lynel insta killed me. As soon as I landed in it immediately shot a fire arrow
I did pretty well on Initial and middle trials. Managed to succeed with middle trials on the first attempt!
Gonna start final trials now and see what happens.
tips : for the first trial, grab a korok leaf in the early floor (you can get those from destroying trees). in floor 11 when you arrive at the base of the ennemis, aim with that leave (by holding the ''throw'' button) to push bokoblins into the water no trouble at all. it can shoot wind through wall and floors so don't hesitate to take them all out without leaving the bottom of the tower. ps: does not work on moblins.
for the third trial : on the floor 7, there is a rusty claymore on the isolated pillar. take it before killing the only fire oktorok. instead of using elemental weapons or arrows to take out pebbits, use your bombs. this works as well for ice pebbits.
on the floor 21 : instead of using your ancient arrows on the propellers, jump an slow-mo with your bow to hit it in the ''eye''. it'll one-shot it. (i was raging to see how austin john just wasted ancient arrows on the propellers. don't do that like him)
for the rest, the video was awesome and complete enought so i've nothing else to add...
if you ever read me austin john(that i hightly doubt), awesome job, continue like this please!!!

I used this guide a while ago for completing the trial of the sword in my normal play through and it was extremely helpful. And now I’m trying it in master mode and it’s a little bit harder but this guide is really helpful
I struggled terribly with these sword trials and took a lot of time effort and had to be very patient. My brother is my mentor with this game and he taught me a good back up if you run out of food. You can make rock hard food. You do this by bombing trees down every chance you get and cooking the wood one peace at a time. Its slow and boring but its clever and resourceful those extra health points coulld save you in a pinch. I was able to over come the final trial despite the third break place not spawning any fairies and it took a lot of time and deaths to finally succeed so I am very happy now ^^ good luck every one just remember to never give up because if you are stubborn and patient you will eventually succeed ^^
I recommend cutting down some trees and collecting wood during the trials. If you mess up and get hurt, you can cook food between rest areas to fill up more hearts.
Also in the first part of the second trial I let the bokoblins shoot fire arrows into the boxes while I hid behind them so the food inside would get cooked. This helped me because I didn't think to boost my defense before entering the trials.
Angelita Ellison
If you have the time and desperation, you can collect as much wood as possible and cook them at the cooking pot.
It will healt 1/4 of a heart.
I didn't do that (on purpose, at least) because those first floors aren't too difficult except for the stationary Guardian, and those don't help too much. I just waited until I got to the rest area to cook things. But you do you.
+Ninjaananas I would just use them as firewood for cooking food like Angelita Ellison described. I don't think a quarter of a heart is too useful. But if it's the Beginning or Middle Trials, then you won't really need firewood except for cooking. If it's the Final Trials, you should use the wood for firewood in the ice levels.
Richie K
Roasting the food is probably a waste.
You should keep it for cooking.
+Ninjaananas I mean you should use it for firewood for cooking food if there aren't any rest areas left and you can't find cooking pots on a floor or you can't light it. I already finished the Trial of the Sword and I didn't use wood at all. I kinda wish I did, but oh well.
advice: Don't die.
Edit: Just beat the trial of the sword, ran out of ancient arrows before the last level so had to fight the lynel... almost died T_T
AljojoX simple, easy to remember
AljojoX I battled the last lynel myself too. So worth it though.
AljojoX ancient arrows are useless against lynels....
No they're not. They one shot them.
Ancient arrows are useless against lynels when you want the drops/items - but this is not the case here. If you literally want the lynel gone without a trace, then they are perfect.
Post game bored lynel farming has made me a master of killing them. Except the crusher ones. Maxes armor and like 16 hearts, still get one shot
Man!!! I literally died on the last floor for the final, if only I watched this sooner...
You can kill a lynel in one hit with an ancient arrow?? ... you are my hero ❤️
Only problem, no weapon drops.
et
Caleb Floyd but don't drop weapons
Caleb Floyd Nothing drops
No weapon or item drops !
What I did is I cut down the trees to gather wood, and then cooked each piece of wood alone to get a quarter of a heart each. All of them together are only around four hearts, but it helped.
This comment helped so much! One quarter heart may not seem like much, but when you have like 50+ pieces of wood, those one quarter hearts add up! This comment needs to be closer to the top.
omgosh you can cook wood?! that's an awesome tip, thanks! :D
Omg we have the same name :o

Andy Burnett Thanks😅
I beat the final trials yesterday and I've never felt more accomplished. I didn't have any ancient arrows going in to the last area so I had to beat the Lynel by hand. I lost all of my faries and food almost immediately because of the bokoblins but I was eventually able to beat the Lynel and the Guardian on my first try.
Late comment but it’s possible to cook rock hard food with the wood, and considering how much wood you can get, it adds up a lot.
Also if you have completed all the shrines for hearts and stamina, and found enough korok’s for the weapon, shield and bow slots, that’s gonna help you out. And upgrading your bomb and stasis runes will help you. And lastly, for metal boxes with loot inside, don’t waste your sledgehammer’s durability on it, use magnesis, use the right analog stick to move the box as high as possible, and flick your controller, joycon(s) or switch, (whichever one your using) so that the velocity of the box is going so fast it breaks.
I just finished the Trial of the Sword for the first time today. I was so nervous about doing it but I'm so glad that I did. Sure, it wasn't on master mode (which I probably won't be doing anytime soon) but I'm still really proud of myself lol. Great video, Austin!
Misty Wolf with enough time and practice (and possibly tears as you cry because the silver lizalfos killed you for the 17 time, trust me, he is the sole reason for my new quest to get 999 of every kind of lizalfos piece in my master mode run) you could definitely do it. The hardest part is (as far as I have gotten) is the parts where you have to fight the lizalfos and make sure that they do not fall in the water (especially with the silver lizalfos, because then you can’t melee them so you have to run away or use almost all of your arrows on killing one of them). It is basically just a bunch of trial and error that I have honestly only found the time to do because of current events.
