OKAY! ACTUAL ADVICE!
Gerudo Weapons tend to give you a 2x multiplier to whatever material you attach to them. Save your very highest fuse damage materials for a Gerudo greatsword!
THEN! When you're fighting Lynels, you can mount them and smack them on the back, In the previous game while you were mounted, you do your full damage of your weapon, BUT, it doesn't decay your weapon for some reason. I'm PRETTY sure the same lack of decay is the same in this game.
SO! Find a Gerudo weapon, and make it into a specifically Lynel hunting weapon!
For reference as well, conveniently the gerudo area has a very high damage (buy fragile) material from gibdo.
I believe there is another similar strategy with a Royal broadsword or something like that!
Mounting a Lynel doesn't even trigger the negative effect of certain extremely powerful weapons from a certain boss.
@@sinteleon gibdo bones break on lynel backs
Royal Guard weapons also work well with this! They double in damage when they're about to break, but since mounted Lynel attacks don't affect durability you can get super damage for the whole fight.
My favorite weapon period has to be any spear with a rocket attached. So satisfying to see them shoot something down.
Your weapons have periods? I don't think I've gotten that far yet...
I had fun attaching an explosive barrel to a spear
I've really enjoyed putting rockets on my shields
@@buttonsfan I hadn't thought of that yet
@@umokwhy2830 free advice, don't try it with a boomerang
If you put a sword on a sword the sword breaks first.
As an aside, if you dont want to mess up your weapons for mining, fuse a rock to your shield and just parry the ore youre mining. Breaks the ore in one go.
Brilliant! Does parrying to break rocks consume shield durability?
Oh, yeah Absolutely. No free mining. Least not that I've been able to figure out.
@@aclulaidannuvera6588 for larger clusters, the ability you get from completing the Gerudo region (don't want to spoil too much) is really good and only costs one arrow.
Just use a high durability 2-h stick attached to a boulder/stone block/iron block/iron ball. It'll last pretty much near forever. Also all those other items I mentioned outside of boulders can be found frequently in shrines, and the shape/size of them DOES matter: picking a bigger-shaped block makes your weapon longer (and possibly also more durable, but no idea on that). (By bigger-shaped, I mean stone/iron special blocks that are tetris-like larger shapes).
Thanks, inteleon.
For the big floating platform mode of the constructs, I used Recall on the blocks it throws at you which is also effective. Especially cause the one I fought that did that so far was waaaay up high lol
Same here! First one I fought was the level 3 one which floated up way too high for the ascend ability (which was my first thought). Then realised I could just use recall instead
@mickmccarthy89 yup. I had a light bulb moment when I realized I could do that.
Was about to comment this but then thought, "Surely someone else already mentioned this," and here you are! Good show!
Yeah either that or bomb arrows or other AOEs to deal damage and lower the position of the lvl 3 which should allow you to ascend or use ultrahand to rip it apart.
Same!!!
A talus stone heart fused onto a thick stick makes for an excellent rock hammer.
I had my attached to a royal guard claymore for awhile. I actually unfused it to refuse it 😂 I love that thing.
wouldn't that be a waste of attack power? The talus stone heart doesn't last longer than a boulder does it?
@@eatandrun8020well it’s pretty easy to find yourself in scenarios with too many talus hearts if you farm them at all, which you probably should. But more importantly I think that extra attack power helps with mining. Weak weapons can take 2-3 hits the break a deposit while stronger ones do it in one hit. I’m not sure exactly what’s causing the number of hits to break a deposit but definitely looks correlated with attack power.
@@monhi64 No no attack power does not determine the efficiency of breaking ore deposits, at least it's not a primary determination. It's the type of the weapon you're using that does the trick. All hammer-type weapons are efficient at breaking deposits. In general, one-handed hammers (e.g. a rock infused to a wooden stick) breaks deposits in 2 hits; two-handed hammers (e.g. boulder infused to a Sturdy Thick Stick of which I always keep one in my inventory) can break deposits in just 1 hit. Meanwhile swords would take far more hits to achieve the same result. It's simply aligns with real life physics really.
Tears of the kingdom really leans into the whole "screw you dad, i do what i want" vibe that Breath Of The Wild had, where someone could hurl themselves across a shrine's puzzle using nothing but Link's powerful thighs.

A fellow SBB subscriber?
hahahaaha
I often find myself wondering how the designer's intended things to be done vs how I'm doing them.
For breaking rocks, I suggest fusing a Minecart to your weapon instead of a rock. It insta breaks ores, and you can just go to the great sky islands to get free unlimited minecarts.
That's more of a 2-h weapon thing, they all have enhanced rock breaking capabilities too (though note that some rocks are also unnaturally hard, like blue rocks at the castle underground)
@@sinteleon I do believe there are four stages of Rock: You standard Brown, Then Blue, The Black and then what appears to be Zoanite
@@sinteleon 0
I attached a Moblin Arm to another Moblin Arm for a double handed weapon with 56 damage. I call it my Lynel Smacker. I only use it once I mount it.
And we all wish you'd stop calling it that, especially at the dinner table.
@@ghostderazgriz What?
@@CutieWolf-359I’m a little confused myself cuz lynel smacker does not sound particularly sexual to me. Like a 1 out of ten in potential sexualness
Has anyone else fused a hive to their weapons, or just me?
May not be the strongest, but it doesn't just do initial damage, but also adds bees stinging your foes. Dope combo. I also made an opal wand. I died before seeing its proper use because the opal bolts flew anywhere but my target. 🤣👍🏻
Is it possible to fuse a keese eye to a wand? Does that make bolts home on on their target?
@@abydosianchulac2 it was opal fused to a sword. I don't know if you can fuse 3 things.
"What's this? A woeful shortage of bees?" A large influx of bees oughta put a stop to that! - Dr. B. Link
Opal fusion throws balls of water. Useful mainly to wet enemies, so that a follow-up electric attack does AoE.
@@LizzardGirl713 It's also useful for the sludge monsters in the Zora storyline.
First time I fought that Flux Construct, I had no idea what it left behind. I never thought to fuse it, so I left. Glad to know they respawn.
I thought it was a key and spent hours trying to find where it went.😂
Had a similiar problem with Talos
I didn't have fuse yet and was very confused. Since I didn't realize it was a separate ability from ultrahand. so I left it the first time.
I threw it on my shield but would not recommend it.
@@nochnoy13 Lmao I did the same thing with that first core. Instant regret when I realized it was a weapon fusion
The most literal form of chaotic energy would mean the boomerang wouldn't return to the thrower but remain airborne indefinitely and perpetually follow Link on his journey for the remainder of the game.
Her name is Lazie and she's my favorite WMD.
Didn't realize you can use Ultrahand or Ascend on the block things.
I keep forgetting how useful Ascend really is.
don't forget recall if you can't ascend to reach the cube. Recall and hop on for a nice ride to it's back.
Ascend also works against Talus (or a battle talus with a base on top) by letting pass through them to go up. Ideally break an arm, bomb flowers work for me, and it will fall. Ascend and hit the glowing ore.
don’t forget about shields. there are cool and fun fuses early game that can carry you through:
- fusing your shield with spiky things, like a spike ball, a spiky slab, or the spiky part of an armored enemy, will reflect damage back at the attacker. you can also slap the enemies with your shield by parrying
- fusing stone platforms onto your shield allows you to be completely unfazed by flamethrowers, gleeocks’ and fire/ice likes’ fire and flame breaths
- fusing a trampoline onto your shield allows you to bounce on it once, or immediately stun enemies as they strike you, only works on non boss enemies and non lynels
- fusing bombs onto your shield allows you to either bounce off the explosion or blow the attacker up. you can do both by shield bouncing on a group of enemies, which you can then enter bullet time and rain artillery fire
- fusing elemental fruits onto your shield also creates explosions but with elemental effects. you can fuse gems onto your shield to have more uses
- fusing carts and minecarts lets you use it as a skateboard. fusing a sled allows you to slide on sand and snow faster. fusing a wing allows you to enter bullet time by jumping in place. fusing a rocket pushes you forward
- fusing your shield onto a 2 handed weapon is also a good idea because you get a balance spread of attack and defense
fusing active zonai devices like flamethrowers, ice and electricity throwers are not a good idea because they drain shield durability even when the enemies aren’t hitting you. fusing a canon or laser is also very imprecise as the shield moves and sways with link’s movements, so you have to stand completely still, which isn’t the brightest idea in combat.
you’re also better off throwing puff shrooms, muddle buds and dazzle fruit as to not waste shield durability, and also fuse better items onto your shield
In Tarrey Town to the North-east there's a Goron who can remove matirals from fused weapons for 20 Rupees, you can already do this from your inventory but when you do the fused material is lost, talking to this Goron will let you keep that material.
This is more of a mid/late game thing but it is a decent money maker if you get the weapons dropped by Wizrobes take them to be de-fused and then get a gem from it.
Its really helpful early/mid game if you get a high level monster part to keep using it
Three Sundilions and two Prime Meat cooked into a meal. Sells for 97 rupees and more easily available than farming Wizrobes. Also gets boosted in value if cooked during a bloodmoon.
@@KryyssTV sundelions are way too rare and useful to sell considering theyre mainly found in the sky and get rid of gloom. 5 prime/gourmet meats together in a meat skewer sells for 135/315 rupees iirc. you can hunt moose and wolves in the plain near rito village so its accessible in the early game too
wdym rare lol i have 20~ on average
@@danielthecake8617 I actually found that four meats plus one Silent Princess is nearly the same as five meats for some odd reason at 126 rupees for Prime. If you complete the Dragon's Tears quest they can easily be farmed.
Thank you, Ellen, for reminding me that, while I've embraced TOTK'S abilities through exploration, I have been playing its combat like I'm still in BOTW. I'm off to go beat a Flux Construct now, while mentally flaying myself for having decided that the best strategy against them was to run in circles like a headless, arrow-throwing chicken.
My method was to essentially shoot fused bomb arrows at them. Didn't realize you could use the ultrahand ability to take them apart like Legos 😖
So don't feel bad, mate; this game has a myriad of ways to play with myriad solutions and learning curves. Remember what Miss Frizzle says, yeah? 👍🏻
@@Echo81Rumple83and ascend to go through them flat or recall to fly up on their blocks
So far I’ve been using Sturdy Wooden and Soldier weapons the most due to their new attributes, Knights and Royal weapons seem hard to find/take advantage of their effects
Side note when you have Autobuild you can spawn any zonaite parts like the flame emitter by sticking say an apple to it with Ultrahand and then favouriting it so you can spawn it later.
You can also use fire against the Evermeans. It's chip damage but they panic when they're on fire.
Would love to see a video about weird and useful fusion effects that aren't just about damage. Shields have some good ones, some less known about.
One faves are when you add a ruby to a shield: the area around you becomes very warm, letting link walk around in a blizzard all cozy with no other cold weather resistance at all. Link can even skinny dip in cold water (edit: not *most* cold but a lot of winter area water) with no ill effect. The trade off is they are hard to come by, so you *really* don't want the shield its on to break. Using two-handed weapons alongside them is best.
Edit: Dragon parts do this as well, the scales I tried being only slightly less effective at swinging the temperature than a ruby.
Wait, you can just turn a shield into a portable heater and never have to cook a billion cold foods again while it just sits on your back? That's amazing. I only knew about the minecart skateboards.
@Felis Impurrator Well, even if it has limits, although I had a hard time finding them in the first blizzard area I was in. The air of the mountain peaks to the southeast of the map register as "unbearable cold," meaning that besides the ruby shield, I also needed the warm pants.
I assume a sapphire shield works similarly for the hot regions. Not for actual fire, though. And Do Not attempt swimming in lava.
@@3X3NTR1K That's still pretty amazing, as one tier of permanent cold resist is excellent regardless. Found any particularly good defensive fuses? I know springs are fairly good, seeing as they stagger enemies when hit. Not sure why constructs like fusing wheels to their shields though, never saw a use for that.
Something I just learned: The Minecart Shield surf incidentally protects you against Gloom, so if you're going down a slope but it's too low to glide, you can simply skateboard your way across pools of not good. Although what shield would be the most reliable for turning into a skateboard in terms of durability, and do the old fast shields like Mind's Eye still buff speed with a minecart, I wonder...
@Felis Impurrator Not that hasn't already been covered by others, I don't think. I have been using shields more for utility than defense so far, but that's natural when you constantly scurry about in the most dangerous possible places using sabotage and hit and run tactics.
I attached a puffshroom to the forest dweller weapon for infinite smoke screen and follow it up with a sneak strike. I need to try the muddle bud version of this too. Puffshroom spear also lets me pick honey with out angering the bees.
For the flux constructs use recall on the last thrown block to get a shot back
If you time it perfectly you can attach a timed bomb to get it dismantled twice
For quite a lot of powerful elemental fuses easily you can land on the back of a dragon and you can collect shards from the base of their larger crystals.
For the flux construct "flat mode" if it's floating too high You can rewind the blocks it shoots at you to get on top as well
I never thought about that last bonus point, brilliant! Thank you for this it was wonderful!
Ah of course. What better way to assert dominance than sticking your enemies' body parts on your weapon?
Bokoblins need to get into a Skelly Union
Any blunt horn is also great for breaking rocks and you can carry them in your inventory, zonai spear + zonai cannon is my favorite combo.
...okay, two weapon tips i had yet to discover. and one i REALLY need to try out. Beam emitter Boomerang. and thank you for the tip about fusing a two handed weapon onto a one handed weapon. now if they would only let us fuse two already fused weapons together for pure chaotic fun... and not to mention some insane attack buffs.
That bonus tip, yeah I’ve noticed that too. It can also work against you too if ur not careful.
For instance I fused a one handed sword like weapon to one of the Goron two handed weapons (the one that are good at breaking rocks) but it ended up turning it into a slashing weapon, completely terrible at mining. Lesson learned.
The way that I have spent hours exploring the depths and never realized the weapons I’ve gotten from those spirits are undecayed omgggggg
Attaching a ruby to a sword has given me a much better (and cheaper) heat source than some of the cold weather clothes you can buy
Is it the same concept as breath of the wild where you can just wear it and it will help?
@@LivingGuy484 yes
One of my favorites is a mushroom on a two handed weapon. If you haven't seen a bokoblin fly fifty feet into the sea, you ain't living yet
For the Flux Construct "Floating Plate Phase," just wait until it hurls some cubes at you and get on top of one. Then use the rewind ability, brings you right to the thing.
Flux construct tip: if its in flat ceiling mode and too high to ascend into, you can go to one of the blocks it shoots out and recall it back to the mothership with you on top.
Omg!
Just when I thought these games couldn't get any better,they put stuff like this in them!
The last bonus tip is also great for amiibo weapons. They can’t be used as a primary weapon for fusing, but they can be used as a secondary weapon. I like fusing the swords like the White Goddess Sword onto Zora Spears. Those two match aesthetically, it improves the reach of spears, and I think this is my ideal way of using spears now. Some amiibo weapons look silly on them if they’re too big, like the Sword of the Six Sages (they changed it to dusk claymore now which I will not be calling it that) just looks silly on top of a spear
Wow did not even think to use ultrahand to pull the block off the flux constructs thanks so much for this great video.
Great tips and a fun video! Thanks!
1:47 I support the practice of peppering the word whirleygig into all of your scripts
Nice! Great to see one can go wild with the weapon fusions
There's a coliseum underground with no less than a dozen ghosts around it, a weapon in every hand~
Great video and I loved your sense of humor.
8:11 ascend! That makes so much sense, i just jumped on the blocks it spat out and rewinded them.
It took me far to long to realise that the platform mode of the Fluxis can also be solved via Recall. And it launches you nicely into the air if you prefer bow attacks.
If you attach a ruby you can make fire weapons, and if you attach a ruby to a shield, the shield makes explosions that hurts enemies!
I can't wait to see a follow-up video with 7 useful vehicles, like the 1 steering stick + 2 fans
Great advice! Definitely going to make some of these.
When fighting a flux construct in its flying phase what I do is reverse time on the blocks it throws at you and climb on one. It elevates you back up to it.
8:13 I never thoughts of this, I have been waiting for it to shoot blocks at me but using the time rewind ability to reverse the blocks back up after I climb on them haha works well when Construct 3 is too high at least
Thanks for the Tipp with the cubes. 👍
Ellen powering through Lukes’ vacation! 🎉
don't neglect your bokoblin horns attach'em to your arrows for some bonus damage!
You can attach zonai canons to your weapons so you can attach it to a shield for a somewhat historically timed gun or use it on a one-handed weapon to be like a pistol. A very explosive, firey pistol
Thanks!
5:00 from my experience, when using things like this, don’t let the battery totally run out before stopping & letting it recharge. The durability seems to last longer if you do that.
I have gotten a lot of mileage out of Luke's bomb barrel shield idea. Does no damage to you and works as a great desperation move in battles, and you can also shield-surf onto it for a large boost upwards. Always keep some bomb barrel shields in your inventory. Also attack some to sticks or spears to make throwing bombs. As a note, bomb barrels seem to respawn on reloading an area, so just go to the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower and you can find several barrels and a spiky ball.
I havent really found a good way to find good enough weapons that matters yet, but one thing I do have is a shield with a ruby fused to it, that is great for fighting off the cold when you only have a pair of pants to help.
8:47 I found a shrine where everytime you go back in it respawns the spiked ball, you can go back out and in again and basically put it on everything you have
Thanks again
6:52 I didn't realize that Ultrahand worked on the Flux constructs... I've just been shooting them until they fall apart. Also, when it's in its platform stage I usually just use rewind on one of the attack blocks it uses to get up there instead of ascend, since it's kind enough to send it your way anyways. Surprised that you didn't mention using any Flame-Breath or Ice-Breath Lizalfos horns to get an elemental weapon or using a Talus heart for more damage out of a hammer weapon.
I will always reccimend a spear spear just for the absolute reach, spear plus flame emiter for more precision flamethrowing, and the ever useful flat stone on weapon for an ax
So Link now has the power of super glue?
Well, more like Gmod or Bad Piggies
omg i haven't laughed so hard at the commentary in ages - instant subscribe from me
Honestly, the combination of your livestream and this video got me to buy the game, and I'm enjoying it a lot so far.
If you want your flame emitter to be at its best trigger it and hold it with ultra hand and point it at your enemies it doesn’t decrease any durability from shields of weapons that way. Striking devices doesn’t decrease durability.
I love fusing a two handed weapon to a bokoblin arm. You get all the damage of the claymore for all of the one-handed weapon type.
I appreciate the video avoiding spoilers.
My fav is a lazer zonai thingy on my shield :D
A weapon that I think gets over looked is the one handed Yiga sword. It has a sneak attack power up. With puffshrooms and a decent fuse item I was one hitting Silver level mobs if I could get a sneak attack. I made sure I had one ready once I noticed and made mob parties a breeze.
Something else about zonai weapons. They also get their attack boosts from regular construct parts.
Flux core on zonai weapons are very good
@@ltmarcos although they ironically end up weaker than Level 4 Construct parts
@Louie Satterwhite so far, I haven't run into level 4 soldiers or captains. I have killed several level 3 flux constructs
Great vid
i doubt it would be possible for obvious reasons but what if you could fuse 2 master swords together, also i can't help but wonder what fusing a tail with a skele arm would look like
Two master swords gets you a 60 damage unbreakable sword that hard crashes the game.
The trick to this is you have to fuse two glitched Master Swords stolen from the opening cutscene by overloading the game to let you fuse a weapon to the sword.
Thanks
For mining clubs I like using the massive spiked balls from the big camps, on top of a sturdy thick stick it just looks so cool
Still haven't seen one of those giant zonite backed rock monsters. But when I saw it here I thought "That's totally shadow of the colossus". Then you said it and my next action was subscribing
Sad that you mentioned them, but didn’t point to their best use… any bone arm fused to itself is the best weapon for sneak attacks… until you find some yiga. This allows you to sneak attack four or more enemies WAY out of your league, take their horns, and instantly become mid-game ready.
This channel is great advertising for TotK, seriously, if I weren't perpetually broke id be doing all this stuff while watching your videos about it
Lizalfos are my new favorite enemies in TotK, because they are the best source for elemental weapon fuses. They’re everywhere, and both the tails and horns of the elemental versions add that element on top of their fuse damage
Elemental Lizalfo's are nice for early game, but the dragons flying around are much better for elemental fuses. Eventually Gleeoks are the best but those aren't early game
With zonal devices like the flame and beam emitters it's actually better to just activate them and carry them around with ultrahand, that way they never break
An ice spear is broken. You can just throw an ice fruit or chuchu jelly to create a square ice piece to fuse onto a spear. You can use it to freeze water from on top of the ice blocks it makes to cross any body of water without using stamina. Just need to be careful because the ice tip will melt and break off, but if you’re just using it for crossing water then you should have fresh ice to fuse back on.
Makeshift cryonis
Love this video. Narrators voice is awesome
You can just yank the construct cubes!?! I spent hours on a random one panic shooting it with arrows
Can't wait to see this in the hat for the Xmas Challenge!
It also helps to know how durability is affected by fusing. All weapons aside for rusty and stal arm types get a +25 to its durability by fusing something to it. However keep in mind that whatever you fuse to it has durability too & will break after so many hits, and that both the base and fused weapon take durability damage with each hit!
However, items used just for fusing do not break! Meaning that sometimes it's best to use a fuse type item for fusion instead of a weapon, so that you'll have a strong weapon for all of it's durability vs the fused weapon breaking after a while leaving you with a weaker unfused weapon.
Still, if you don't have very strong fusion options but come across a strong weapon, it may still be best to fuse the two strong weapons together for the best attack.
Zora weapons are sweet. Sidons sage ability wets the weapons. Add a horn and you're doing serious damage.
If you don't have this age ability you can always wet the weapon in a lake or river.
On the platform version of flux construct you can wait for it to send down cubes. Then grab a cube with ultrahand and instantly use recall, then climb on top of the cube and let it take you up to the rest of the construct.
There is a ton of creative ways to solve problems in this game
8:13 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thank you, ive been stumped every time one of those does that. Lol
8:10 climb on a block they throw and use recall on later fluxes like 3
Fusing a zonai canon to any spear and using the R/Throw command gives you a shoulder canon. Easily one of the greatest things ever.
Link is doomguy confirmed. Thats the only reason i can think for why Link is systematically destroying moblins
on the floaty guys in the depths
1) When you first get near one enough to spawn it, it sets it's inventory and replenishes every blood moon. In order for it to be different, you have to take the weapon... so if you don't want a traveler's sword, chuck it.
2) That guy will always have whatever weapon type he first spawns with. Two-handed great weapon, one handed weapon, or spear. Keep that in mind.
3) In order for a weapon to spawn in the hands one of those dudes, you must have used and broken the weapon (decayed counts) already.
This video was so good that I subscribed, which is very rare. And so good that I commented, which never happens.
In BotW I felt like some kind of tactical genius. I feel so dumb in TotK since I'm terrible with the weapon combos.
You can win the flat platform phase of the golem by using the time spell! Use it after the golem has thrown a few cubes at you, climb on one, and go back in time!
There you're on the platform
Don’t forget talus hearts! Those things are amazing!
I don't own a Switch and have never played a Zelda game, yet I watch these😇
The gerudo weapons are comically good, doubling attack damage after you fuse. Allowing 60+ weapons very early on.
Not a quick but you can also just rip random blocks off and it'll just fall apart. Nice for the 3rd version that moves it's weakspot
Annoying Boney Basterds.. now my favourite term for Skeletons in any game
when the constructs turn into the floating platform you ascend up to, instead of pulling the weak block out, just stand on it and attack it. it can't hurt you up there, and then after a bit of damage it will collapse, leaving you free to attack the weak block again. So esstentially two rounds of safe damage instead of just one!
I also didn't think to ascend up into it when I found my first one and was wondering what the hell I was supposed to do to the floating platform!
Bows/arrows aren't mentioned, but any eyeball fused to an arrow creates a homing projectile that's pretty good at getting headshots if angled properly.
you can use rewind on the cudes constructs shoot at you
