@otterskateboard adam, watch out! A flying friend code approaches. SW-5609-8195-9688

This is assuming you have a Switch. If not, then please keep it for when the fateful day arrives!

And yes, I've just... played this game probably more voraciously than any game ever, and many Koroks have fallen to my obsessive scouring. Though having said that, I can't believe I'm only a quarter of the way through them! It's crazy!

And the fashion in this game is fab. I've been purchasing and upgrading everything I can, in the hope of becoming a bonafide fashion monster. I'm bezzies with all the Great Faries. It's funny to think how much of the start of the game was played running around in rags, and now I carry the wardrobe to end all wardrobes. It's a pity you can't choose your name for the adventure, because I am Fabulink.

Oh look, another combat trial...

With amazing weapons, major tests are nothing, minor tests are no different then fighting standard easy enemy, heck, I think a silver Bokoblin is stronger then a guardian on minor...which might not be nothing too amazing I guess.

82 shrines, can kill a silver Lynel easily and only 65 korok seeds >:[

So I found out there is a progression rate, in the 25.64/100% bois
And so much has already been done, I guess there is loads more side quests that gotta be found, unless a HUGE % is from the seeds.

Currently got 104 seeds and 81 shrines done.

@Undead_terror Where do you find the progression statistic?

I doubt I will get all 900 seeds. Screw that

@Maxz Just open up your map, and look at the bottom right, you will also see the in game time and temperature.

@otterskateboard @Maxz Ah, you guys are right. My numbers are low so I thought it wasn't actually counting the total... only 27 Shrines and 44 Koroks so far... I need to work on that.

In case I don't find it anytime soon, anybody have any hints about the last memory location? (in the album)

Anyone know where the hell these leviathan bones are?

I have a bad feeling being colour-blind they will blend into the scenery and Ive passed them repeatedly.

And I cant see a progression rate. All I see is my Sensor usage in Bottom Right, and Time/Temperature in the Bottom Left.

@Haru17

Ikr... a whopping 3 out of 120, all of which incrementally test your strength. And a useful skill at that, since you'll be facing real Guardians out in the world. Is this really a complaint?

@Undead_terror
I thought you only get the progression bar after beating Ganon? So that people don't feel overwhelmed or compelled to "complete everything" before seeing the story through?

In pretty sure there's way more than 3 tests of skill.

There are a lot. Ive done more than I care to do. I think there are probably 15 to 20 shrines that are just that same combat trial, but with differently placed pillars.

@JaxonH Are you referring to my post about the combat shrines? If so, you're mistaken: There are at least 20 of them in the game. I'm surprised that none of them changed it up even a little bit and had players fight full-sized guardians in those particularly-made battle arenas. Nope, all the same mini boss. A really cool mini boss, to be sure, but twenty times over all the same.

And that's not even counting the disappointing number of reward shrines (a treasure chest and a spirit orb but no puzzles or challenges). Very few of which felt like an actual reward, putting players through that load after doing something moderately cool so they can enter the useless Mario Galaxy dimension instead of just open a treasure chest that appears in the overworld. In fact because of that load most of these shrines actively take away from whatever cool challenges it took to get to them, building suspense for nothing. You'll understand when you get up there in the number of shrines, assuming you are not already.

@BLP_Software Yeah, I can help as I did that quest yesterday. The Eldin and Gerudo ones are visible from the map. Gerudo Desert has lots of skeletonal structures, but the leviathan skeletons are differentiated by the fact they include a skull as well as a rib cage. You could be able to find them by pouring over the map. The icy one though, is super duper hidden. I was lucky to have stumbled across it before starting the quest. I will say it's somewhat doored off.

I can't find the completion rate either. Maybe it appears after you beat Ganon. Speaking of which, I still haven't made any more story progress...

And yes, there are a few tests of strength. The irritation levels with them largely depend on whether your path through shrines causes them to be clumped together or not. I've had quite a nice streak of actual puzzle shrines, and the for the few 'blessings', I've actually felt, "fair enough, that was a fair bit of work to get here". I don't mind the structure or the concept of blessing shrines. After all, they give you a handy warp point, and it'd be weird to receive a spirit pen in any other way. But there have been occasions where I've stumbled upon a slew of combat and blessing shrines, and felt a bit starved of actual shrine puzzles. Not recently though, which had been nice.

Why am I still catching fire near death mountain? I have high res and no wood based stuff equipped.

While trying to find all the shrines, I honestly was hoping for treasure Shrines and Combat Shrines. They were quick and simple, so it made it easier to get all 120.

@Spanjard You'll need to be Fire proof. Heat resistance won't be enough to keep you from igniting there.
