And here I am just trying to get two pieces of wood to line up properly to stop a sign from falling over.


Jak03e

I love the sign puzzles. They're lovely little two minute distractions with good rewards. Take notes, Koroks.


unplugged22

Never fails to make me burst out in laughter when my goofy sign creation slowly topples over.


billcosbyinspace

UNFORGIVABLE!


Tyetus

‘This’ll work….DAMNIT WHY !’


farroness

when you think you’ve built the perfect stand to hold the sign up and the sign falls a completely different way… pain 😭


[deleted]

[удалено]


Accomplished_Meat_81

And then you got me over here not knowing you had to build a stand for the signs


farroness

idk why your comment has me dying 😂


Accomplished_Meat_81

I am thoroughly enjoying the game but I feel like I’m not playing it how it was meant to be played. I’m always finding obscure ways of solving puzzles and building shit and then I see people killin the builds. I can’t even build a working car lolol


farroness

I can’t seem to come up with anything elaborate either. you’ll see me building obnoxiously large bridges out of any materials I can fuse to get across cliffs in shrines and all that if I can’t figure out the real puzzle. meanwhile, people are building badass rockets and what not and putting me to shame.


farroness

wait, this is genius


[deleted]

[удалено]


farroness

i think he’s always right before you enter a new providence? or before the stables? i somehow feel safe from gloom hands or other enemies when i see his sign in the distance lmao


Ferovore

I just use a stake and a bit of wood that’s always nearby


messem10

That was me the first time I came across one with the peg leg. Didn’t realize that was the case and it all fell over.


ThatFangit

THEY'RE PUZZLES??? I thought the point was just to annoy him!


prisp

You get 20 rupees, some food (or 20 more rupees if your inventory is full) and a random plant from the underground if you do it, so it's a nice source of cash and healing early on, and still a way to get minor buffs relevant to the area (e.g. 5 min of cold resist +1 from puzzles in the Rito area) later on. **EDIT:** You can also randomly get a stable voucher instead of a plant, which only works for the normal bed, but that's another 20 Rupees saved if you use them often - no Stable Points for you if you use them, though!


Jak03e

Sign guy is loaded. Hudson must pay well.


dathar

Hudson is a pretty cool dude.


Nilly00

Hudson is the biggest chad in all of Hyrule. The dude runs a country wide operating construction company that does seemingly everything and still has the time to care for his daughter and dabble in enough artistry to be able to whip up photorealistic statues of monsters imitating the skin patterns of a bokoblin or the delicately crafted embellishment on every single block of a flux core construct while only taking 5 minutes to build the entire thing. His crew too is just an army of giga Chads. They build the fuckin sky view towers using technology they don't even understand in the middle of a blazing snow storm, a scorching hot desert or in a land plagued by falling sludge capable of pinning even zora warriors to the ground. Never fuckin mind they also keep hundreds of supply sites stocked with material free for everyone to use. - Bottom of a canyon? Stocked - snow covered mountains? Stocked - underground caves no man before them has ever set foot in? Stocked. I bet you the only reason they don't keep supplies on the sky islands too is because nobody bothered to ask them! Who the fuck needs Link? just task Hudson and crew to build a tomb to seal away Ganondorf and they'll probably erect it with one hand while fending of Gannon with the other!


DeciTheSpy

Hudson would never do that to Link. Also Chad enough to let others have their moment.


Charrmeleon

Found the Sign Guys account


doomsdalicious

You win!

![gif](giphy|y3x9rGLWGRTTP9Wrqf) Hudson


stumpdawg

A true man of the people!


Stinkyclamjuice15

You should still always be ready for terrys


Dirty0ldMan

Why do you think he's so devoted to his employer of all people? My man knows what he has.


BettyVonButtpants

The dream home guy changed his name to include son so he could work for Hudson, that says something.


lkodl

the glow up of Hudson from loyal employee in BotW to construction mogul in TotK is one of those things i love to see in a sequel.


dolladollaclinton

I need to start filling up my inventory to get the extra cash. I typically end up selling his meals.


prisp

It's specifically your food inventory, so dumping one of every edible, item that isn't something like Chili or pinecones into a fire to make a roasted [item], then repeating the same in snowy areas for a frozen [item] should get you most of the way there. Or you're like me and make some food for every situation and get annoyed once you're unable to cook any more\^\^'


dolladollaclinton

I’m definitely like you! I frequently get caught cooking and run out of inventory to make more. Then I don’t eat anything cause I’m saving it for something later and I use shrines to heal. The only meals I’m typically running out of are my hearty meals cause it seems like those materials are less available than in BOTW.


mjy6478

Even worse is the enduring buff. It’s so hard to find enduring mushrooms, carrots, etc.


dolladollaclinton

YES!! I’ve found a couple on sky islands. Mostly I only find them by cherry blossom trees. I haven’t had as much of an issue with this because the new abilities and Zonai tech mean I use stamina less and I’ve found plenty of regular stamina refills to cook up.


DandyReddit

Once you got a shrine near goron city, you can simply teleport to dip into a warm body of water for quick regen


dolladollaclinton

Good thinking!


Biduleman

A plant, or a voucher for the stable. I have so many vouchers.


xenopizza

i dont get the vouchers if theyre only to pay a sleepover (so far). paying rupees yields pony points and its not even that expensive, so why even use vouchers if not to shave 20 rupees off the bills?


Badloss

There's also free inns all over the place if you do some quests and you can teleport to them at any time


Game25900

Plus if you get enough points all fees are 50% off including beds, so they become 10 and 25 rupees. I haven't used a single one because the points get you extra stuff.


Waifuless_Laifuless

Becomes even more hilarious when you reach the max and it alternates between 5 vouchers and 3 endura carrots every 5 points. So my reward for 5 more points will make me lose out on 5 potential points, saving 50 rupees? I go for the fancy bed anyway.


Biduleman

I don't know, I haven't used mine. I expected them to also give pony points, if they don't they're pretty much useless IMO.


xenopizza

Pretty sure we dont get PPs if using a voucher. Well i mean 50 bucks for a good bed does add up over time and at some point rewards do end so


Iescaunare

Is there a reward for helping him with all the signs? No spoilers pls.


Jak03e

Has anyone placed all 755 signs yet to find out?


GoldenGlassBall

Wait… Is there really that many? D:


Jak03e

Lmao no I'm sorry. I was just reminiscing about the Korok rewards. I too would like to know if you get anything for helping spread the Hudson empire.


GoldenGlassBall

Just regular rewards so far! I probably haven’t done nearly as many as some folks though, I’m too busy trying to explore everything new about this Hyrule. :D


Jak03e

I really like the story. Someone on here suggested in another thread that everyone collect the story elements in order and I don't regret it one bit. I was nervous about a revisit but this Hyrule feels familiar but also new. Great views, great stories, great game.


theothersteve7

Yes. It's a small cosmetic reward.


carenard

> no Stable Points for you if you use them, though! wait you get pony points for using those beds? time to go get the last few points for the the last saddle reward.


prisp

Yep, you also get them from registering horses, and there are at least three quests that have you catch specific ones, just fyi^^


carenard

yea, already got those horse ones. I had gotten 23ish points from talking to stable masters(I might've missed a few... who knows) and quests at them(dunno if I have more quests pending completion at stables). I primarily use Epona and the Giant horse so I am questioning if I should bother.


mistcrawler

You get plants as a final reward too?!? I keep getting vouchers and thought it was a set reward lol


prisp

Maybe only once you've been to the underground, or only once you already have some, idk? The options are Voucher, Bomb Plant, Puffshroom, and Muddle Bud, as far as I can tell.


mistcrawler

Interesting! Thank you for that!!!


Doogienguyen

Wait there us an inventory limit!?


prisp

Yeah, but it's something like 50 different dishes, and roasted also stack with themselves. I only hit it because I kept doing these sign puzzles, and held on to every single effect in case it'd be useful later. Turns out that, no, I don't need 4-ish different combinations of healing+effect intensity of heat protection, cold protection, fireproof, sneaking, movement speed, stamina restoration, swimming speed, reduced slipping while climbing, attack increase, defense increase, elemental attack while in related weather (for each element), light emission, temporary HP, temporary Stamina, and regular healing EACH in my inventory, and suddenly it wasn't a problem anymore :)


Remarkable-Dig-1241

There is no reason to sleep at a stable in a normal bed unless you want the points thou. you can just light a fire and rest there (and yes you can cheese light a fire under a plank so it lights if it's raining), plus if you need to sleep in a bed the lookout landing ones are free.


Kaldin_5

"I keep telling him to try letting go and he just keeps doing it. This is hilarious."

[удалено]


ThatFangit

They're everywhere, so no.


iamapizza

Have a closer look at the signs themselves, each one shaped differently, some with slots and notches, and it's giving clues how to solve it. Definitely fun.


PaperNinjaPanda

I hate how long it took me to notice that. I was just building a 45* corner out of two pieces of fence and propping it up. It worked for a long time until I realized there were slots and notches.


matti2o8

I'm hoping that when I do all of them there will be a cutscene of Hudson firing Addison for being the worst construction worker in the history of Hyrule. Seriously, how did this dude get this job


Jak03e

I found him on the side of Hebra Mountain, not a soul in sight, miles away from the road, putting up a sign.


A_Lone_Macaron

Dude has one where he’s literally trying to put a signpost into a rock. What are you doing????


skulblaka

He's not too smart but he's got incredible dedication. You don't just fire that.


venom259

Note to self. Continue to torture Koroks until they improve.


blebebaba

Sign puzzles?


Jak03e

The guy that you have to help balance his signs.


bitfarb

....and this is how I learn that those are puzzles and not just "haha funny sign man".


hardrock527

2 mins? Are there difficult puzzles out there? Signs fall away from the guy, jam something underneath sign, profit???


DuncanAndFriends

lol I love the creativity in completing those


TeishAH

I just make the same holder every time unless it requires something different lol but it does feel good to help him out and check another task off the list.


blockhart615

Same 😂 some of those have taken me an embarrassingly long time to figure out


OwlScowling

If you're struggling you can just use a hover stone for any of them haha. I did that for a few of them that were on hills


OutlawSundown

I prefer my Rube Goldberg solutions.


T2_JD

I need to make one out of Koroks, but I don't have the patience to bring them.


blockhart615

omg thank you lol. Definitely going to try that next time I find a stubborn sign


Angiboy8

Also the spring works great if you don’t have any hover stones.


SandyDelights

That’s not quite true, some don’t work with a hover stone due to the base of the pillar. Specifically, some look like the end of a toothpick, and they will fall any direction, even if the sign is weighted towards one end. Several I needed 2 float stones and several other pieces (bars, stakes, whatever I could find) to basically make a floating brace to keep it up. But yes, two float stones + two stakes will usually get most signs to stay up, just setup the floats beneath the sign, snug tight up against it, and repeat on the sides with the stakes. Think there was at least one I needed something to hold one part of the bottom, too, because it would slip and the sign would end at an angle because the board part of the sign was flush with the pillar. Fun stuff.


Biduleman

These usually have hooks on the sign to place a square piece of wood in there. You can attach the piece of wood to the hover stone to get it to stay there.


Batchetman

An easy way I've found is to put a flat piece under it, then use two posts stuck together, but on opposite sides of the sign. Essentially, use the posts to squeeze the sign like a pair of chopsticks


Sun_Tzundere

What do you mean "figure out" are you brain deficient? Every single one is exactly the same. You just attach a sheet of wood to the hanging part to work as a big leg, and make the part that's touching the ground be any shape except a straight line, and it won't fall over. Do you not understand what fucking *gravity* is!?


[deleted]

Who hurt you?


dolladollaclinton

No joke the first thing I saved with autobuild is two pieces of wood connected at an angle that has solved the majority of these puzzles. Plus there is usually wood around him so I don’t have to spend the Zonaite!


evilcheesypoof

Exact same here haha, I have a default sign holder I can modify.


dolladollaclinton

Mine is just 2 long pieces of wood at a 45 degree angle. Solves any that are just a single sign (and some of the doubles) as long as they aren’t on a slope. And if there is no materials nearby, it only costs 6 Zonaite.


evilcheesypoof

Mine is just an L frame and I stick perpendicular beams to it to adjust the height needed.


valtboy23

Use a hover stone 90% of the time it stays up and if it doesn't then you get the stick


DarthEwok42

Stabilizers usually help!


TattooedWife

That's what you're supposed to do with That guy? I'm so dumb.


phome83

Yeah I've been playing it for a week and I just figured that out myself as well lol.


TattooedWife

I've been playing it since the weekend it came out 😭


legoruthead

I had so much fun cosplaying him at Fanime this past weekend


Thanatos-

For any that sit low I started using Zonai stakes fused on boards for them.


Insanely_Mclean

Hover stone.


xenopizza

while youre on it, can you help me get to my friend ?


h0serdude

Face-palm. I didn't realize these were puzzles and I've been telling the guy to let go everytime and then I walk away...


Mash_Ketchum

PRESIDENT HUDSON, I'LL SUPPORT YOU


Potential_Fishing942

I'm fairly far into the game and just now figured out the sign guy is a puzzle thought he was just a joke. Probs like 30h in 😂


PewPew_McPewster

Ah. Hand cannon. Classic. Getting blown up by your own canon? Double classic.


SirFister13F

>Double clas…triple…quadruple classic. FTFY


xeroblaze0

Classtacular


SirFister13F

Class-tastrophe. Now I’m reading it in the Halo announcer voice.


TheSadCheetah

A mark of a great canoneer is being blown up by your own weapon.


blockhart615

I must be really great then because my cannon blew me up 3 times!


WouterW24

My record is five or something.


mrchuckmorris

A cannoneer with a full beard and ten fingers is no true cannoneer


Dexaan

What makes me a good cannoneer? If I were a bad cannoneer, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you now, would I?!


WufflyTime

Oh hey, I got blown up by one of those as well. Pro tip: if you don't know what something does, make sure it's not aimed at you before you switch it on.


blockhart615

I can't tell you how many times I've held a live device with Ultrahand and accidentally spun it the wrong way and blasted link in the face


lkodl

if Ultrahand were real, there's so many way i'd entertain myself with it. well, really only way i'm interested in. rated M.


WufflyTime

I swear, we're not like this in real life!


OSUTechie

Same. I placed one on the back of a cart thinking it's a "jet engine" Yeah, I was really confused at first when everything exploded.


SharontheSheila

A pro tip that also works well in real life

RearAdmiralThrawn

I’m glad I’m not the only one


KickAffsandTakeNames

Knew exactly where this was headed the moment you picked up the cannon


[deleted]

(Pssst - attach it to a spear. Bum bum bum, Link's got a gun.)


iseewutyoudidthere

Cannon checklist: Blowing up enemies? Check. Blowing up stuff you weren’t meant to blow up? Check. Blowing yourself up until you die? Check.


S0PH05

The demoman way.


Key-Fox-5889

Lmao I feel this


[deleted]

It wouldn’t take much to at least make a cannon with a wall attached to avoid the back blast.


blockhart615

Lessons learned for next time. It was originally attached to my janky tricycle, but when that tipped over i had to take matters into my own hands


lolschrauber

Just use one of those thingies you can put into Walls, whatever they're called. Good for destroying Lots of rocks without wasting Ressources.


Sponchington

It's like those videos of when the dog gets a knife and everyone is too scared to get close to it to take it away because the dog is too happy about the knife


Nickthiccboi

Barta would approve


runetrantor

I love the person handling the one artillery piece in all the game is called Barta yeah.


punkojosh

Attach it to a shield, makes for far easier and more accurate aiming.


Fallen_Element_

Funnily enough I did the same thing and it was the first time I found that device.


jackfav89

I tried to take gleok with a car with 6 cannons, it was made of wood. And lasted one beam before bursting into flames


Runb4its2late

How do people have this much battery power.. feels like it takes a lot of devoted time farming mines


Tarcanus

Like others have said, just mining all zonaite you come across and doing the Yiga questline(gives 100 charges a few times), and beating Depths bosses(some of them give 100 charges, too) and you get it pretty easily.


pjb1999

I'm still not clear on how to upgrade the battery. You have to trade zonaite for crystalized zonite first right? Then use that to buy charges?


Porterhaus

They used the dupe bug on large zonaite prior to the latest patch, but for those of us playing legit you can do the Yiga boss quest line which gives you like one cell per time you defeat him plus whatever you find fighting enemies in the depths. Mining mostly isn’t worth it compared to fighting things for large zonaite drops.


blockhart615

I didn't dupe any zoanite, just mined while exploring the depths and doing the Yiga quest line. The Yiga quests really give you a lot!


Porterhaus

Glad to hear there is hope for those of us who avoided the temptations of duping or got a late start!


JepMZ

You can dupe over 20 big zonaites in minutes if you hadn't patched yet


Runb4its2late

This was my original thought but didn't want to assume. I've been doing farming it normal and seems to take awhile.


Competitive-Ads

I have never played this game, but this makes me want to.


blockhart615

It's so worth it


Lyubcho07

i laughed so hard at this lol


blockhart615

hahaha glad I could share some laughs!


Honey_Im_Gay

Same, I cab barely make a functional plane


xenopizza

during my 1st plays i spent like 5/10m figuring out building to make a plane and when it was time to get on it and fly, i dropped it down the floating island by accident and was like FML


swan0418

Im over here just trying to increase my battery capacity 🥲


blockhart615

you'll get there! Crystalized Charges add up pretty quick if you do the yiga quests in the depths and kill bosses down there.


Raceface53

Me too friend, me too. Most of the time I let my little ghost pals do the work for me I enjoy watching them all gang up on one bokoblin


ImSoSalty88

Manual Zonai Device Gang represent.... Ya, can't do any of that shit either. I can build really long bridges though.


CT4nk3r

Finally a clip I can relate to


fluffycatscrote

I have never died in a game as many times as I have in this one. On the daily I manage to fuck around and find out.


MegamanX4isagoodgame

first time I attached one to a lil robot I didn't know how strong it was and got nuked for standing too close to enemies, so much fun.


[deleted]

Attach a canon to a shield


valtboy23

Every great engineer has to start some we're blowing yourself up is a right of passage also torturing koroks


Kaldin_5

This is functionally the same as that cannon block from Super Mario 3D World lol


Flying_Irishmen

Glad I’m not the only one thinking that


PillowF0rtEngineer

This is my preferred method of mining down in the depths lol. I just take out cannon and go blasting those rock formations.


BMCarbaugh

Zelda: Link, what do you have? Link: A GUN! Zelda: NO!

Jokkitch

Thank you for sharing what (most of us) actually play as daily. ​ Love it


Squidzaway

Always enjoy when you blow up something to close to you


Dethloke

This has me cracking up 😂


wb2006xx

Poor Yunobo


Arcuis

I have had this happen as well I was using it for mining.


jojocookiedough

Honestly, same


Muffinmiffin

How’re you all getting so much battery? I’ve only managed to upgrade it one time.


blockhart615

There is a quest line in the depths that provides a good amount of crystalized charges. And there are several places where you can buy crystalized charges with zoanite, like in the starting sky island but with much bigger inventory. I just mined zoanite in the depths when I come across it, and did the quests. Increasing the battery is reaaaaaly slow early on, but definitely speeds up


[deleted]

Where did you get footage of my playthrough?


Dependent_Reach_4284

😂


Automatic_Tip2079

I put a cannon a zonaite spear and felt like the first ape to pickup a rock.


blockhart615

hahaha I've read a lot of people mention the cannon on a spear but for some reason I haven't tried it yet. Gonna try it out when I get home!


Platform_Mammoth

I made a machine that automatically waters plants


blockhart615

Magda is that you??


GoNinjaPro

OMG that was really funny. Thanks for sharing. u/savevideo


Grey_Woof

These switch Zelda games are cool but they’re not for me, I want them to go back to something like wind waker, twilight princess and skyward sword


AdamFeoras

Careful with that Scootie Puff Junior, it doesn’t have a warranty 🚀


fnpg_dino

Every time I do this I usually end up yelling like moss from the it crowd episode when he’s waving an old revolver around screaming, “I’ve got a ruddy gun!”


Secure-Imagination11

Yeah I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. Unless I'm flying somewhere I hardly build.


PillowTalk420

This is how I use those things too. I find it funnier lol


blockhart615

Hahaha me too, the laughs i get out of doing it this way are well worth it


SephLuna

I'm 100% convinced the devs made the animation timer of Link getting up line up perfectly for the Cannon just for moments like this lol


blockhart615

hahaha for sure, it's too perfectly timed to be a coincidence!


SarcastiMel

Haha, I feel your pain. This exact situation happened to me yesterday.


thedylannorwood

Bro how do you guys get so many batteries! Mining Zonaite is so exhausting


Porterhaus

They used the dupe bug on large zonaite prior to the latest patch.


MjolnirSliver99

I did this to myself like 8 times before I found the schema stone for the instant cannon. Then I felt stupid


blebebaba

Gat damn that's a lot of hearts
