 This will be the final post in my Breath of the Wild Master Mode series and I will be using it to recap my experience playing the game over the past couple months as well as give recommendations for people who may want to try Master Mode or just Breath of the Wild in general.  The first experience I had playing Breath of the Wild Master Mode was shortly after my first blog post explaining what I would be doing. The first few hours of content were probably the most difficult I encountered during the entire time I spent playing. At the very beginning of the game you have no armor or health and the weapons you get are not strong enough to reasonably take on more than one enemy at once. This presents several challenges as the leveled up Master Mode enemies are able to kill you in one hit and often appear in groups. In addition to the challenge that the upgraded enemies pose, there are also more enemy spawn locations including several which elevate the enemies into the sky using b...

Just a heads up, this post is the last of the game progress updates as my next and final post will be a recap of my entire experience as a whole instead of focusing on progressing through the game. Now then let's see how close I am to beating the game... In my last post I mentioned that I wanted to complete divine beast Vah Medoh (the bird one) next since the ability it granted was very helpful for use in other parts of the game and the dungeon and bossfight were fairly straightforward. On my way towards Vah Medoh, which is in the far northwestern section of the island, I passed through Goron City where the Gorons of Death Mountain and Vah Rudania live. I completed the nearby shrine so that I could fast travel back when I wanted. I then made the very important decision to stay in Goron City and begin the Divine Beast Vah Rudania quest line. I figured that it would take me a very long time to reach Vah Medoh as I hadn't explored any of that part of the map, and I wanted to make ...

Unfortunately, this week I was not able to make any progress in my BoTW master mode playthrough, but I still have some goals that I would like to set for myself for Week 6. If I have any hope of actually completing the game I need to get through the 3 remaining divine beasts in the next two weeks so that the final boss fight becomes a bit easier and I will have access to the abilities completing each beast grants you. I will likely start with the divine beast Vah Medoh as it is not a very difficult beast and its updraft ability that can be used to glide across the map is extremely useful for travelling long distances and completing the other beasts.  Divine Beast Vah Medoh The remaining two divine beasts after I have completed Vah Medoh are divine beast Vah Rudania and divine beast Vah Naboris. To be honest, I am not very fond of either Vah Rudania or Vah Naboris as they both require a pretty complicated quest to be completed before you can even begin the dungeon and Thunderblight ...
