what's going on everyone Austin John Placer and today I'm going to be going over how you
can repair and upgrade your weapons and shields in Legend of Zelda tombs of the Kingdom [Music]
shout out to Herman Miller for sponsoring the channel more about them at the end of
the video the sentence that I just said about being able to repair your weapons if I said
that to someone playing breath of the wild they wouldn't believe me and that intro would just
make it sound like clickbait because that was one of the quintessential things about the game
that your weapons constantly broken you had to keep getting new ones and because of that you
started to hoard your favorite weapons and the more powerful ones and never ever use them while
tears of the Kingdom took a previously not really utilized mechanic and then changed it
around and now made it amazing remember this guy The Rock octorock in breath of the wild
all it was good for was taking Rusty weapons and then being able to suck them in and then
spit out non-rusty versions of the same exact weapon that ability has been taken away in this
game and it has been dramatically improved any weapon that he were to suck in he is going to
completely repair the durability and he's going to be randomizing the modifier of the weapon
or Shield let's do a quick demonstration you'll see right here I have this Knight shield it has
a defensive 40. it's not a great Shield but it's right now about to break you see it's blinking red
if I were to go ahead drop this Knight shield and walk away from this rock
octorock he's gonna go ahead suck this shield in you're gonna see sparkles come
off of him then he's gonna be spitting it back out to me I didn't catch it that time
and now when I take a look at it it's not only repaired you could see the glisten to let you know
that there is zero durability taken away from the shield plus it now has durability up so we took
this weapon that was on the brink of Extinction and just completely repaired it and then also
made it better how you go about doing this first you need to find a rock octorock which there have
found several different places but this location right here outside of Goron city is the one that I
primarily just go to so anytime I need something repaired quick I just come here see my man he's
gonna hook me up but there are actually several throughout all of Eldon I know that there's one
over here right next to where that Minecart Shrine was in the last game I'm pretty sure there's one
here near the hot springs I'm not exactly too sure where but from this point on now that I know
the value of these guys I'm gonna be able to go into my compendium take a picture of him and then
being able to use sensor plus I can now track the location of rock OCTA rocks mark them on my map
and anytime that I need to repair stuff I can go see them the most important part about having
multiple of them marked down is because this rocked Rock can only repair one weapon or Shield
so this Knight's Claymore if I were to go ahead and just drop it oh or or kick it away that's
cool so this Knight's Claymore that doesn't have the sparkle so it has had damage done to it if
I were to leave that with him walk away from my guy so he's not intimidated get out of here wolf
he's gonna suck it in and immediately spit it right out because it can only do one weapon repair
however after it's repaired all you need to do is just you know have him not there anymore [Music]
yeah if you defeat this rock octrock one you're gonna be getting the drops from him
but on the next Blood Moon he's gonna be back in the same spot and he's gonna be
able to repair that one weapon or shield for you now there are some limitations
to this something I haven't tried yet this weapon is decayed if I drop a decade sword
[Music]
oh it's still gonna be decayed but now it's attack up five so that's nice for amiibo weapons like
this begoron sword over here that you see it's power of 36 but nothing has been done to it but
it doesn't have a sparkle if I go ahead and drop this sucks it in he's gonna spit it right back out
because for whatever reason they're not allowed to fix amiibo weapons after it's been fused such as
this begoron sword with a silver Lionel saber horn power of 91 if I go ahead and drop this [Music]
nope he doesn't like that either but here's a neat little thing if I were to take out this
begoron sword drop it on the floor and use a weapon that has reduced durability and equip
that then fuse the begoron sword on top of it now if I were to take this and drop it
down to the floor he'll suck it in Polish it up and then spit it back out [Music]
which as you can see it's just had its durability restored and now it has increased critical hit
damage which is pretty great also for some reason it doesn't work with magic rods I'm
not too sure why that is it works with any shield in the game including the Hylian Shield which has
insane durability but it can eventually break you can repurchase a new one in this game but you may
as well just repair it when its durability is low and then just reserve the rest of your shields for
utilities like rockets as long as the bottom of the weapon is not an amiibo weapon you're fine and
by the way in case you want to move some fusing around just get close to them and then they're
not going to come out of the ground and attack you it's now a power of 76 this Royal Claymore Plus
silver Lionel saber horn and it has a tack up of seven now I'm gonna go ahead drop a save because
this is something that I want to not only restore the durability of but I also want it to be better
and there's a chance that it's going to be better than attack up 7. [Music]
so get a shield this time
now it's Taco B8 it's marginally better now it's unclear at this time if this is following the same
rules for modifiers that breath of the wild did which it had to do with an internal experience
system that had to do with the more enemies you kill the higher your experience is and the better
your enchantments are going to be we're gonna have to wait and see if that's exactly how it
is if you don't like the modifier that you just got to your weapon all you need to do is reload
your save redrop the weapon and see if it's going to be better hi see me please suck in
the thing thank you and as you see now it now has long thrill which is dramatically worse this time
I got attack up 10. so now it's better so now I'm in front of another rock OCTA Rock I'm gonna put
down a hard save because now I just gotta attack up 10. I want to see if it's gonna get better can
we just constantly keep chaining this more and more until we hit what might be the max modifier
thank you [Music] it's now durability up let's reload durability up again after doing it about
eight or nine times I finally got it back with attack up and it's only plus six so maybe it is
related to your amount of overall experience in the game also it seems like the attack up
so far isn't that great like in breath of the wild we have things ever attack up 44. we're
not seeing those kind of numbers at least at time of launch so attack up eight I'm happy
with that for now and eventually I'm gonna have a better weapon and then I'm not gonna need this one
anymore and particularly I'm using this sword to go against lionels and while I do reserve it for
only attacking the back of a Lionel's head every once in a while I'm caught off guard by something
and I'll just accidentally hit the attack button and now it's doing durability damage to my weapon
think of it as a safety net when it comes to weapons if you build something really amazing
and when it comes to Shields especially the Hylian Shield you're gonna be fine as far as bows go once
you come across a five shot Lionel bow that has attack of like 35 or 40 or 45 I don't know what
they go to and then that's about to run out come over here drop it off in your guy and then bring
it out maybe it has durability up which would be fantastic I think it's amazing that one of
the largest gripes that people had about breath of the wild they've included in this game and
then also made it a free mechanic granted it is a little limiting and you need to know about it
to actually use it it's not like there's a big sign in every town that says blacksmith here
come repair but at the same time this is free and who's mad at free no one well fantastic guys I
want to know what you think about this mechanic being in the game on being able to repair and
upgrade your weapons previously like whenever you got the Hylian Shield you were like oh hang
on you don't want to grab that yet because later on you're going to have the durability increases
which is going to be better for a shield and then you're not going to be able to get it
with the modifiers later it was a whole thing but bottom line is now you're going to be able
to repair and upgrade your weapons if you found this information helpful do me your favorite hit
the thumbs up button down below if you're new to the channel consider subscribing turning on
notifications and once again shout out to this channel sponsor Herman Miller which real talk
you know I don't do plugs on this channel like ever but the gaming chairs that I've used in
the past they're okay like the 400 ones are the ones that you pull the thing back and then you
could do that they suck for your back and my back sucked because of them but then with my own money
I bought a Herman Miller and body chair and then they were like hey do you want to do a sponsored
spot and I'm like absolutely I need a chair for the editing room 100 I will do this spot the
embody chair while it does cost more money than pretty much most gaming chairs on the market the
difference is it's not gonna break down in two years and then you have to go buy another one and
then I've had arms fall off of the PewDiePie chair the DX racer chair I've had two of the
wheels stop working on it this embody chair which every video that you don't see a chair in that's
the chair behind me and that's one of my favorite things is like I want to show you the room I want
to show you the experience and because of that you're not distracted by a massive black and red
chair behind me it's fantastic for my back it has a cooling seat the arms are adjustable level so
when I'm like actively talking to you I have them higher and then when I'm doing my slouchy gaming
I have them a little bit lower it goes super low and super high I literally can't say enough about
this chair if you are in a position to consider yourself a professional who sits at a desk for
12 hours a day and your back sucks because of it you might want to look into this chair
and that's all I have to say thank you so much for being here until next time Austin John out
