They don't degrade at all when you're mounted.

I ended up turning mine into a pinchushion too, with lots of dodging. Took a long time though, I think I was quite under prepared as my first boss was nearly one-shotting me too.

Barbarian's the best armour, and also the only set that reaches L4 without tons of busywork. I Googled for spawn locations and times for the final bits...

Also did my 4th Divine Beast, and collected my last memory.

Still enjoying it, am at just over 70 shrines, so still quite a bit to discover, and I know there's still stuff that I need to investigate.

Did anyone watch the ign video about the DLC? It shows one of the Korok places

A word about armour-set upgrades:

The Hero's path addition is really useful. An eye-opener on how much I've missed (alot).

The Daddy

Is the DLC as big as the eShop says it is (like 12gig or something)?

Tempy

I don't think the first pack is, unless the Switch has the fastest download speeds ever?

The Daddy

Just looked it up, 456mb. EShop says 12gig, must be listing the size of the main game or something.

Tiny download, done in a minute or two

I just realized I have the US cart version of this game, but my Nintendo account is EU, not sure if the DLC will be compatible. Plus we need to be a bit sensible with our dollars for a bit, should all settle soon though now we've moved.

Main reason for me to get it is Hero's path, as I'm hunting down the last 40 shrines now. Not sure if that's worth it.

That is for the full game. It was 11.x before patches on the U.

So what's the DLC actually like then?

Fucking hard is what it is.

stonechalice

What the master mode?

Gamermike

I'm tempted to get the DLC just for the map feature, which is absurd. The Xmas DLC might make it worth it I guess.

weadre

Yeah I'm really keen on the map thing. No idea which areas I've properly checked out anymore.
No real interest in the hard mode stuff, but new story could be a goer. If I ever finish the main one that is.

Yeah.

A series of challenge rooms, get to the end in a single run for a reward.
No saves, no items other than those picked up in the rooms. Not sure if you can use DB abilities, I assume not.

mistercrayon

No, that's the trial of the sword part. Master mode is one stage upgraded baddies (e.g all red bokoblins become blue and so on). Some extra random encounters and all baddies if left alone will regenerate health.

I'm finding Trial of the Sword hard enough. (Or maybe just not fun enough.) I gave up on it last night after a couple of attempts, I think the problem is (a) I've got rusty and (b) I had got complacent in the main game, wondering around in my insane armour, with my madly OP weapons. Fighting enemies in my pants, with no restart, has certainly put me in my place.

(Hints - Make sure you have plenty of hearts and stamina going in and that your bombs, stasis etc are at level 2, as those are the only attributes you can take in with you.)

mistercrayon

Also worth pointing out: you can stack master (hard mode) on top of the trial as well if you think the trial is a piece of piss.

tin_robot

I'd wondered about that. (It occurred to me that if the trial was unchanged in Master mode then the "prize" would be well worth obtaining. As it is, I can't help feeling that anyone who can complete the Trial has absolutely no need for an overpowered unbreakable Master Sword anyway.)

mistercrayon

I'm not convinced it's unbreakable. It might be...but I thought the permanence merely applied to being worth 60 power all the time.

Kazuo

Best bit about the DLC so far has been the treasure hunt you're prompted with to find all the optional masks and bits of gear. Spent a good three hours last night dodging guardians while trying to work out where everything was buried. Great fun.

stonechalice

Do I have to go through the whole great plateau part again on master mode? I really hope not.

Enemies with more health just seems silly to me. Weapons constantly breaking is already an issue, I can imagine it being ridiculous on master mode. You'd be best off not engaging with anything if you can help it.

Keen to try the trial of the sword though.

Tempy

It's a new save, you have to do the Plateau

For kicks there is a

Howdy, Stranger!
