Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

@Jhena That guy rules, he's just so happy all the time. Whenever I see him I'm like "hell yeah brother!"

I agree. I love top down Zelda games, and this one is hitting all the right notes. And moreover, the game provides so many different ways of traversal and combat, which isn’t seen in a lot of games in this style. It’s so inventive, creative, and a joy to play.

1) OHHHhhh. You have to hold R to use follow while you're binded. In case anyone else is as dim as I am. I kept pressing/tapping R and it just made some broken bump sound.... because I wasn't holding it.

2) How do you kill the shark by the wooden ship in the water?

3) Has anone else realized that EOW is essentially a zelda game built around an easy duplication glitch, whereas in BOTW and TOTK they kept patching easy dupliation glitches out? I think TOTK needs an Echo mode added so you don't have to waste your time farming stuff.

@WoomyNNYes
I can not really remember how I defeated the shark, but maybe using bombfish might work? Or try to use many small fish and use bind on the shark to keep it on one spot, while the fish attack him.

@Jhena That’s what I did — I used the bomb fish to kill the shark. I use the bomb fish religiously, and I’m over halfway through the game. Lol.

I just threw more sharks at it

@Kraven
Definitely one of the most useful echos.

@Eel
When the shark echo is an option, this might be the faster way.

Typically I stay out of these threads after the game releases to avoid spoilers, but I do skim this one since I'm actively playing it lol. I hope the Zelda series never changes in this regard; I love quirky characters like Stamp Guy!

Hey everyone! Been playing echoes of wisdom and i need a tip on redeads they are pretty annoying and I'm not sure what the most useful echoes are to kill them easily. Always hated those things in zelda games. Any advice?

I usually just counter Redeads with my own Redead. They're immune to being frozen and are usually able to outlast an enemy.

crows kill everything; one will die but the other will live to peck and you can spawn more.

@StarryCiel
Thanks I'll try that! I was wondering if any echoes were immune to the redead screams.

I've yet to find any, but enemies that can attack from range aren't too put out by them.

Apparently redead screams don’t affect you if you go inside a pot, so perhaps that’s nice way to avoid them in a pinch.

I normally just throw fire zols at them until they die though.

First Redead I defeated I just spawned a bunch of Octoroks to pelt it to death from a distance, as well as setting it on fire with an Ignizol as I recalled them being weak to fire in TOTK.

Seemed to work well enough.

The sleep dojo is finished. Nice reward.

Today I started Echoes of Wisdom, and I have just left Impa's Brother's House Still in the very beginning.

Really cute game but after all it has the same charm as Link's Awakening which I loved!

congrats! I still haven't beaten the one with the air blowers because it is annoying 😆 I actually enjoyed the boss one though.

@FishyS
Thanks. Some challenges are tricky, but thankfully there is no real reason, to go for a fast time bonus.

Alright I am at the point of no return. Should I just beat the game or go for 100%? I am missing three heart pieces, two stamps, sixteen strengh crystals and probably a few quests and items.

Edit: I will try to 100% it.

I’ve done a few sleep dojos, I’ll probably finish off the rest today. I’ve done all the horse racing which was surprisingly more fun than I expected. I’ve also collected 17 stamps and have 13 hearts altogether so I’m looking forward to maxing those out within the next couple of days. I’ve actually kind of struggled with the acorn gathering on some locations, but it shouldn’t be too bad.
