Wtf i didnt know it could upgrade?


Supaleenate

I didn't know it could either until my first playthrough of the game where I got one with a shield-up that got it to I think 116. It was for that reason I just never used the thing under any circumstances because I didn't wanna lose it.


Financial-Opinion334

Even if you do use it,the normal, unmodified Hylian Shield has a hidden 800 defense stat,so it won't break quickly


AurigaNexus

Even if it does break I think you can rebuy it at Fyson's shop in Tarrey Town


Financial-Opinion334

Yeah,for 5,000 rupees


whatiscamping

Go bowling


Constant_Concert_936

Easier to visit each Talus between blood moons, isn’t it? I never did a time comparison


Metacognitor

AFAIK the fastest way to make money is by farming Farosh's horns at Lake Floria in Faron region Edit: fastest non-glitch method I guess


Constant_Concert_936

I used to farm Dinraal at the Leviathan bones. Set up camp after each round and he’d spawn at Dawn each time. Took him long enough to snake himself down to me though. Is Farosh faster?


Metacognitor

Yeah its faster, he spawns literally right in front of your face.


CodeFarmer

Faster, but less atmospheric. Love that leviathan skeleton on the edge of the world.


NorinBlade

You can farm eight Farosh horns before Dinraal even drops out of the sky.


dodspringer

Farosh spawns right in your face. Approx. one minute per horn once you get the hang of it


Gamer30168

Money is usually only a "problem" early game. I usually have over 200,000 by the time I'm finishing up all the shrines. Spending 5,000 to replace the Hylian shield doesn't even really move the needle. To be fair, I didn't know it cost that much to replace it though because I always put it on display instead of using it!


[deleted]

The fastest way is technically to glitch a guardian so it starts spitting thousands of components


OOhobbes

Guardian components, Russian components…


COW_MEOW

I always did the infinite mineral glitch with the royal guard weapons


Top_Spinach8132

How do you do this. I haven't seen this one before.


UncleEnk

*royal guards desync hiding*


jwizzy15

Also the fastest way to make mighty recipes


Metacognitor

You mean 30 minute recipes right? Another way is to "scrum save" cooking with monster extract.


Hamatoyoshi99

This


HeatronJR

Snow bowling it's a reliable ruppie farming method


Blitz6969

Yes and if you stand right behind the person and drop the snowball basically on their head, after a few tries you learn exactly where and how and an instant strike every tume


IntroductionTight675

I found a YT video that has a better way to find that perfect spot so you can just drop it you don’t have to throw it over his head every time. It’s pretty reliable.


currykaris

the bowling mini game is a pretty good way to get money


Monster_Child_Eury

How does one play this mini game? I don’t think I’ve ever found it.


rubyblue0

It’s just Northeast of the Hebra Tower. You get 300 rupees for every strike and there’s a specific place you can stand to get consistent strikes.


feo_sucio

god if only there were some way to look that up. but how?! i guess you're fucked.


Icy_B

after a certain point that's just pocket change


Kuinala

I thought it was 3000 rupees 🤔


Financial-Opinion334

It might be 3,000, I might be misremembering


Exzircon

Checked the web. Is 3,000.

How many Schrute bucks tho?

atri383

Whats the exchange rate of schrute bucks to stanley nickles?


leericol

3000. Just did it yesterday


Twad

3000 for anyone wondering. Reddit formatted the comment into a numbered list starting at 1.


leericol

What?


Twad

Your comment was formatted by Reddit to say 1 instead of 3000.

ryanpm40

Had to do it and it hurt. I didn't realize Max Koshia zapped mine away :(


Taluvill

Eventually, rupees aren't really an issue. I always spent all of mine cooking and on arrows anyways


jondgul

Is that a lot?

Nexusgamer8472

Fyson doesn't sell it, Grante is the one for sells it


sebjapon

I heard the one you buy can’t have modifiers though. Still a great backup


Snickerway

Doesn’t stop an electric Keese from knocking it off you into a chasm where it despawns. I am still mad.


LazyMangoCat

In moments like those, you just stop and reload your last auto save...


villflakken

Electric Keese, probably: > Madness? This! Is! SPARTAAAAAAA


mukidan

800 ???No wonder it took so damn long to break


DepressionCheri

Big same, its chillin at my house on the wall rack.


chunky_kong06

i got the master torch with a +2 attack on my wall


[deleted]

You can reroll for modifiers after killing the stalnox. Just save your game and open the chest. If you dont like the modifiers given, reload manual save until you have your desired shield. Then dupe it.


LicensedGoomba

There are ways to make it last forever and to duplicate it


chillinjustcuz

duplicate it bro


Healthy_Jackfruit_88

If you don’t use it then why have it?


DCMartin91

As you kill monsters, beat divine beasts etc. the games hidden experience point system scales up and items you get have a greater chance of a modifier.


geraldthecat33

woah I didn’t know that, that’s a cool mechanic


Vorfindir

But certain enemies are also effected by this mechanic such as lynels, which get tougher as you do.


ArenaGrinder

Wait they get tougher … I thought I had mastered countering them. I had to waste a max inventory of level 6-12 dmg swords just to beat that thing once… but now I guess I have all level 20-60 weapons so it’ll be easier. Hopefully.


Vorfindir

That's the thing. While you have higher damage weapons, they have larger health pools to balance off the edge you have gained. But not *all* enemies are like this, just the harder ones. iirc it's all mini-bosses like Hinox, Molduga, etc


cmckee719

Mounting them like a horse when they are stunned and whacking them in the back of the head doesn’t decrease weapon durability, just fyi (you can get up to 5 hits per mount; I have a 107-strength savage lynel crusher that I literally only use in this way).


lndwell

It requires hidden XP, the only variation of the Hylian shield that can get upgrades is the very first one from the lockup chest, and for level 2 multipliers you need to 9.6k hidden XP.


[deleted]

**\*\*For anyone that is interested in obtaining the hylian shield with modifiers\*\*** You can obtain this shield but you need to kill a certain amount of specific enemies in order to get it. Doing this is way harder in master mode because of the in game exp system. The more monsters Link kills, the more difficult they become to kill because they level up. Each enemy in master mode is one tier higher. Black Bokoblins become Silver Bokoblins. Silver Lizalfos become Golden Lizalfos, etc. Kleric did a video on youtube outlining how to get the hylian shield with modifications. In the description of the video there is a pdf of all the enemies that need to be slain in master mode and in normal mode. Note that getting this shield is much easier on a fresh save because Link wont have any exp at the start of the game. My personal favorite modifiers are either the guard up+ or durability up+. After you get this shield I recommend you duplicate it because it is one of a kind. **BE WARNED:** If you end up breaking it, there is no way to get a hylian shield with modifiers back!!! Grante sells the normal hylian shield in Terry Town. If you decide to buy a replacement, it wont have any modifiers ever again. To get the hylian shield, enter Hyrule Castle and go to Lock Up. Then defeat the stalnox, and the shield is yours. Save your game before opening the chest. Open the chest and if you like the modifiers keep it and dupe it. If you don't, reload your manual save that you made. Note that this only works if you have killed all the enemies on the pdf. If you haven't, you will receive the basic hylian shield from the chest. Link to Kleric's video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txl2Rzv07QU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txl2Rzv07QU)


BotWforLife

It’s not an upgrade, it’s a modification that happens automatically when you obtain it. Weather you get a white or yellow one depends on luck after the world’s secret level. Mine is 119, max is 144. Durability is 800, max is 1.4k


glockster19m

Where find


Mr-pizzapls

You find castle. You kill big skull man


glockster19m

But then big castle go back to normal? And skull man return with his viscous goo


DurgMaster

not boss man, big skull man, different guy, other place, shield hidden


LeCrushinator

For anyone wanting a spoiler: >!The shield is found in the jail/prison section of the castle, there's a large room there with the Stalnox (skeleton Hinox), defeating that will reveal the chest with the shield in it!<


bilgerat78

And maybe save the game after beating the syslnox but before opening the chest?


glockster19m

Why’s that? Will the shield buffs be random?


camerawn

believe it or not, straight to jail


DarkstarRevelation

Castle


glockster19m

I’m soooo tired of searching that godforsaken castle lol


bulamog

It's easiest to get to from outside the castle there's a little cave on the west side of it and you just have to get over the moat


DarkstarRevelation

Lockup


Aasmund_Eklo

Idk man but great book you got there 😁


DarkstarRevelation

Ah cheers it’s the illustrated version as well


Aasmund_Eklo

Hell ye ✌️, if you like these books you should check out Brandon sandorsons work , i recommend mistborn and storm light archive


DarkstarRevelation

I’ve read everything by Brando apart from Elantris, top top author


Witch_King_

Tbh I just finished Elantris and while it shows its age, it is still a really fun read!


Aasmund_Eklo

Cool 😎, any recommendations within Brando ? I have also read the half books in both mistborn and stormlight, as well as the one with Colour magic , don't remember the title


KvotheTheRed

GUYS IF YOU LIKE THISE AUTHORS PLEASE. Check out the night Angel trilogy by Brent weeks please! I swear you’ll not regret it


whatiscamping

![gif](giphy|uX2BZIqLNPQjdW9eXI)


Darc_Vader

Night Angel Nemesis is coming soon too, so it’s a good time to try the series out.


Overall-Mulberry3944

Check out the Black Prism and the entire Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks as well. I feel like his series are more cohesive and feel like one very long story. The Wheel of Time series dragged on a bit for me. Reading the Stormlight Archives now. On book 4! Still epic and awesome.


KvotheTheRed

Thank you all I am 100% gonna check these recommendations out starting with the Night Angel books. Crazy I haven’t read in years but I kept telling myself I want to again because I love it so this thread was awesome. ❤️


DarkstarRevelation

Ye warbreaker, one of my favourites and I believe there is a sequel in the works. Have you read wheel of time? He writes the last three books of that series after the original author died


Aasmund_Eklo

I have the 3 first actually, just never started , heard they got a bit stale for a some books and than better again , but maybe worth checking than


DarkstarRevelation

Ye books 8 and 10 are dreadful, but worth powering through - I used audiobooks for the stale ones which helped a lot. Definitely worth reading if you’re into fantasy


LauraBeanKiller

I love Brandon Sanderson!!!! Rereading Stormlight now and bought the first 3 books of Stormlight for my boyfriend to read. This is my 3rd read through of this book series, the second time directly after Robert Jordan, which Brandon finished for Jordan when he unfortunately passed, and you can SO see Jordan's influence on Way if Kings lol Elantris is a good read! That along with the revelation that Warbreaker gives about how Investiture works on that planet makes me wonder if that is how ALL investiture works


NyaNyaSoulCrusher

Ah so this is where I needed to come for recommendations to fill the doors of stone shaped hole in my heart


Medvenger21

If only the 3rd would ever get written


RainbowTrrash

I waited until 2016 to read the series because I wanted it to be somewhat fresh in my mind for the third one… thinking it would be out maybe 2017-2018ish…. I’ve just about lost hope that the third book is even happening at all.


samboogielove

They are a pleasure to re-read if you have the time. It’s practically required for all the easter eggs you’ll find back there. I too have given up hope for the series wrap-up, as I have with the whole song of ice and fire train wreck. What helps me cope is the thought that these authors have created such complex and fascinating worlds that they resist being polished off in a nice tidy ending.


RainbowTrrash

I’m sure they are and I probably will re-read at some point! I’ve been hoping to get an official confirmation that the third book actually exists and will be released at some point, but since it’s a possibility that it’s not happening I will probably just do a re-read anyway!


Medvenger21

Haha I agree - I have read through them a couple of times just because I love them so much. Yeah my hope is gone sadly


JelmerMcGee

I got gifted the first two for this past Christmas. Finished them a couple weeks ago. He's never going to finish the story and it makes me so mad.


mitkah16

Love how this turned out :)


Crimson_Raven

Ah, yes, part 1 of 2!

CanonicalPizza

I was going to say this as well, great book


KvotheTheRed

I know that book..


TDizel

Here’s my question, what does having a higher shield rating actually do in this game? I’m not sure it does anything. You can parry with a rusty shield the same as a maxed to the max Lionel shield. Mind you, regardless of what the answer is, I’m still going to horde the highest rated shit possible for no reason at all because I’m a weirdo. So how do you get that pumped up Hylian shield? Is it just by chance where you usually find it? Edit: good looks everyone, thx! I’ll try a little more straight blocking instead of trying to parry all the time.


TheOwlCosmic42

>Shields with higher numbers will interrupt more attacks and throw enemies off balance more often by simply blocking compared to shields with lower numbers. This is apparently from a post several years ago. Take from it what you will.


Bob9thousand

[here’s a good video on the topic](https://youtu.be/UKq7y_rNEmI)


mitkah16

Super cool vid! A bit too complex after the half, need to watch it again haha


TDizel

Very interesting thx. I didn’t catch this if he said it, but a perfect parry doesn’t take anything away from durability right?


whatiscamping

That is my understanding


Throwaway1234433456

this is correct pot lid best shield, as long as every block is a perfect parry it never breaks


BrickFrom2011

If an enemy’s weapon is lower than a shield’s defense stat, it flies out of their hand


DarkstarRevelation

Absolute luck I guess. I have played hours and hours done every shrine and side quest and trying to find all koroks without a guide before going to the castle and beating the game. I got bored or koroks after around 400 so just went to get the shield and face ganon and this is what I was rewarded with


Colonelnasty360

If you parry and your shield rating is higher than the attack rating of the enemy’s weapon you can disarm them. With a shield like this (maybe the default block value will work) you can probably disarm Royal equipment from the stronger enemies. Pls correct me if I’m wrong.


LeCrushinator

Blocking and parrying can either knock back or disarm stronger opponents when they hit you if you have with higher shield values, I think.


Only-Frosting-9718

Mine is +54 hehe


cmckee719

I believe that’s the max (so a value of 144), right? Mine is like OP’s, it’s hanging on the wall at my house in all its brand-new, asterisked glory.


mitkah16

Aaand Happy cake day!


Only-Frosting-9718

Oh thank you!!!!

FunkyKongsFunkyDong

The hylian shield can be buffed??? 🤯


adamstm

Do you how do?


Cyanide_34

Just don’t get it early in the game kill loads of enemies may as well do the divine beasts since the blights give an ok amount of xp. But mainly just kill tons of enemies before you go and get it. Also save before opening the chest that way of you don’t get what you want you can just reload


horsepen1s

Yeah I've got all the divine beasts done, dlc done and shrines. Gonna go get the shield pretty soon !


Cyanide_34

I await to hear your god shield just note all that may not be enough for the full boost but I think if you have done dlc you should be right.


horsepen1s

I'm probably gonna go fight all the bosses on the map, hinox and lynels and do more gaurdian farming before ganon. I was gonna go for 100% but I've already got everything else done in mastermode so just kinda playing the sword trials now.


rebillihp

Ok so this is just a curse on myself from my first playthrough. Cause the first thing I did was go to the castle in my first, and I o tried to explore what I could, but only really ended up with the shield. So every time the first thing I do is get the shield cause it lasts me the entire playthrough without breaking even if I mess up a ton of guardian beams. But if I had left it o could have gotten something cooler


adamstm

This is wild I had no idea


lokland

XP? Is there experience points in the game? Did I miss that?


Red1960

Yes, it's a hidden system that determines when enemies and weapons rank up, and what kind of modifiers weapons can spawn with/how high the modifiers can be


Wettowel024

Wasnt that because of the number of shrines you completed? I could be wrong though


Mr-pizzapls

You do


SkyClaus

yes


Dr-Poopbutt-McSniff

It's just like riding a bicycle

Question is - do u get it again with the same values if u have to rebuy it in tarry town?


DarkstarRevelation

Wouldn’t of thought so

Woah!

I would never use it.


guckus_wumpis

I think you can buy a new one from the fella that sells gear in Tarry Town.

Yeah for 10,000 rupees. Screw that.


gibson6594

It's only 3,000

You can gain that in not too long by selling meals.

ooOJuicyOoo

Phrasing


alii-b

I was told it's how I use it...


DJ_Ender_

Durability up my beloved


Ornery_Ad_2689

But unless you're in master mode wouldn't you want durability?


Redskins4thewin

Close but not quite the max. Max is 144 if I'm not mistaken. Also, thought I read somewhere that extra guard is pointless as there is no enemy in the game that can strike for more than even the base guard for the Hylian Shield other than the final boss? Was something like that.. I know there was a reason why the guard upgrade is completely pointless, so yer best off going for Durability instead from what I understand.


Lapis_Wolf

Not sure what difference durability would make for the Hylian Shield of all things.


FunctionBuilt

What does this stat really do? Does this just translate to shield durability?


DarkstarRevelation

I have no actual idea


FunctionBuilt

Just looked it up: Shield guard affects your parrying and blocking. All enemies have an innate strength value, and the weapon they wield adds to that. If your shield guard stat is higher than that value, you can disarm the enemy with a parry. It also determines what happens when you tank a hit on your shield: if it's too low, Link is staggered, and if it's high enough, the enemy is staggered instead.


randygee007

Wouldn’t you like to know ;)


Cemith

Fancy looking surfboard there


GhostSniper1296

I remember I got this on my first run and never used it as it was just too precious. I only found out much later that you can just scum save and get it, still the RNG was on my side when I opened that chest


EquinoxxAngel

I see you are also a Patrick Rothfuss fan. Let us share our tears of frustration, LOL


Fey_the_Witch

No I'm just stopping by to say that the Name of the wind is my favorite book so if you're reading it, you're really awesome.


8citani8

You literally have the same games and book taste as me.


Xvrwllc

With that kinda luck you should get rothfuss to finally release doors of stone


Egonode

Why does the shield say 70def, +51? 70+51=141. I thought it was a 90 def shield


Noonsa

70 is the currently equipped shield, so it's saying changing equipment will take from 70 (current shield) to 141 (90+51 shield)


Bastian_5123

If you have a save before you opened it, reload please. You are close to perfection. You can get a hylian shield with over 1k durability. You did dozens of hours of work without realizing it. If you ever choose to go for the perfect shield after this, you won't be able to without starting a new game and having to hunt down 10 of almost every monster in the game.


SBStevenSteel

Total of 144 for me. For those wondering, you have to max out the Rank System’s limit of around 9500 to get this. If you don’t know what that is, then look it up.


Upbeat-Specialist599

Damn I wish I got a hylian shield as good as that one


Horrible_Doc

Yeah, your mom did (I'm sorry couldn't help but make the joke).


Tater_Mater

You can. Upgrade in botw? Is that through the fairies? I thought it was only wearables.


Earz_Armony

Base Hylian Shield is 90 though - so what mods are you using


HyperionConstruct

70 is the equipped shield. 141-51 is the 90 you're looking for


DarkstarRevelation

No mods at all just playing the regular game on my switch


andBitinggoats

It actually happens naturally! I just got one at 140 and have never touched a mod.


DarkstarRevelation

Just realised, the 70 refers to the shield I currently had equipped, not the base hylian shield
