I have 5 hearts and 9 defense from my armor. My strongest weapon has 20 damage. I noticed I’m too unequipped for most stuff. I get 1 shot by any miniboss and boss bokos.
I don’t have much of the map. Only the first tower and a tiny bit of depths. Any advice? Where can I get decent early-mid game loot?
Where can I get decent early-mid game loot?
There is a large, secret explorable zone accessible via Lookout Landing that has a full set of high defense armor hidden throughout it. I found that set very useful for early and mid game.
Make sure you’re always fusing, especially decayed weapons + monster parts, drastically increases durability and damage.
And cook!
If you go to the woodlands stable, just a little north of Hyrule Castle, you’ll find a Great Fairy who can upgrade your armour. That should help you survive a little longer.
Additionally, there are several ponds, both in the sky and the surface, where you can find regular fairies. Sneak up to them slowly to collect them, and then you have a safety net against instant death.
In the depths, try and gather as many puffshrooms as you can. These explode into a cloud of spores on impact, and enemies within will lose sight of you. Then run behind everyone and sneakstrike them, and that will take out most standard enemies. If need be, it also makes it easier to flee.
Grab a weapon base from the depths and fuse with enemy loot with whatever good attack power you have available. One handed weapon and a lot of shield use is safe. Keep yourself at max health after getting hit. Defense up with foods or elixirs.
Find a direction where you can manage the enemies. NPCs try to give you a lot of hints
Are depths weapons better than over world? I have good fuses avalible. Just not prepared for gloom enemies well
Weapons that the spirits on the pillars in the depths offer you are not degraded and have additional qualities
