Lightning attacks can be pretty annoying because it keeps making you drop your weapons.

I know!  I fought a rock monster in the rain then lightning wrecked me.

Finally figured out what to do with those sparkling rocks that I saw here and there. Doh!

So since I had my warm rito gear and I was reticent to start the Medoh dungeon, I went to mount Lanryu to do what I assumed would be this easy dungeon you guys were talking about. After an epic climb and some sneaky enemy dodging there was no dungeon there and the shrine wasn't even a challenge, it literally just let you walk up to the shrivelled dude.

That sounds like the Shrine at Skull Lake. I've still only done the one dungeon and that was the one close to Zora's Domain which was at East Reservoir Lake and that was the one I was talking about. When you asked about the furnace I thought you were talking about the one to make Ancient weapons and armour. That is up on the east side between Tumlea Heights and North Akkala Beach.

Where the hell is korok forest? I need to trade in some seeds godamnit.

In the lost woods which is to the west of death mountain.  I love that we are getting lost here and asking each other for directions.  It reminds me of Zelda 1.

So there's a super easy way to beat guardians. Not sure if it's a spoiler but it's too funny

Some more emergent gameplay. I blew up a tree as an easier way to get apples. An apple fell near a sheep that went and ate it. So I thought I could lay food as bait for hunting and I rolled an apple down a cliff and waited for my prey. It worked. I find magnesis fairly useless though. Not enough metal around. Stasis too, its difficult to line up shots.

That's pretty cool. I'm going to have try hunting like that.

I have 8 towers done, including the first one at the beginning. So it looks like I still have 6 areas to map left. I've done 32 shrines and still have only completed the one dungeon. Completed 10 side quests and collected about 20 or so of those Koro seeds. Haven't tried parrying a Guardian laser yet. This game is huge.

Seems like Stalker for children.

That doesn't sound right...
