Current Events > Each trial of the BOTW DLC *Spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

adds 10 more damage to your Master Sword.

I just finished the first trial, it was really really fun. I wonder if it's harder in Hard Mode

It's so hard that you're going to want to kill yourself when you finish it.

JK, I haven't done the DLC maze yet. Though I did see it in the distance and was like "Whoa, what's that?"

what DLC maze

What's the max damage in that case?

it's just always powered up.

60 damage at all times and I believe it always glows once upgraded

so it becomes a 60 damage sword which is pretty good. Maybe in the future it will be buffed even further

Does it still have a durability and required recharge at fully upgraded?

pretty sure it still breaks, but I haven't gotten it yet. People who have gotten it claims it breaks.

I only know the glow and the 60 damage thing because I watched someone get it in a video, but they didn't test it to see if it breaks

Was the DLC fun? How long did it take?

I've only done the easiest trial. I got most of the new items, but obtaining them was straight forward and not really interesting.

But as items they are extremely useful. I love the Korok mask

I know there is an amulet that lets you teleport, does the Korok mask let you locate the Koroks much easier.

I've been slowly cheating at snow bowling to fully upgrade my ancient armor set. I still need to find more shrines to upgrade my stamina and hearts, plus do the Divine Beasts.

The Korok tells you when you are near a Korok you haven't gotten yet

I've find like 15 korok seeds today just from walking around with it on while doing other things

Ancient armor is great but expensive and doesn't work unless fully upgraded. I've taken a full on blast and only had like half a heart left. Also the ancient arrow and bow pretty much make guardians your bitch. Though even with it, sometimes they're a bit easier with the right weapons.

I thought the whole point of the DLC was to stop the master sword from breaking

jesus fucking christ, I didn't want a level 60 master sword that breaks. I can just pick up royal swords if I want that ffs

Upgraded Master Sword "breaks" after 200 hits. It's basically how it is whenever you would be near Malice-effected enemies. That still makes it by far the best one-handed weapon in the game, and almost OP. Making it completely unbreakable would just break everything.

Eh I think balance is kind of thrown out the window as soon as you get Urbosa's Fury anyway.

True, but at least you're only allowed three uses before a lengthy recharge time.

Isn't that the whole point of the trials being super difficult, though?

It'd break the point of the weapons system. Having a weapon not only completely unbreakable but also one of the most powerful in terms of DPS means people wouldn't have any logical reason to use anything else.

They're not really that difficult though, barring a few problem rooms. The Beginner Trials are the hardest ones (oddly enough) since they hardly give you anything useful.

I'd rather have mediocre damage and unbreakable then breakable and really high damage.
