re: Favorite Gaming Moments Ever Thread

I think I just had a moment in LoZ: BotW

This is filled with SPOILERS for Eventide Island





So, I took a raft to Eventide Island and was stripped of all my weapons. Which, is part of that part of the game. Great concept.

I end up getting lucky and defeating all the enemy camps and the mini-boss. But in doing that, I put the wrong orbs in the wrong hole.

So, I am left with an orb that needs to get up the highest hilltop. I spend 3-4 game days trying to get this orb up to the highest part of the island. I guess I could die on purpose, and try again. But no.

So, I found the best possible routes up the rocky surface. I ascend this thing at least 50 times. At night and through 3 rain periods. I even had to fish the orb out of the ocean 3-4 times.

So, I realize I cannot climb this thing, but I can get close.

I find a flat surface to rest the orb, then hit it with stasis to try and launch it. It didn't work I saw potential though. I had to fish the orb out of the water after another failed attempt.

So, after trying stasis about 6 times, all my weapons are used up. They are all breaking. I can't find any leafs, even after bombing trees. The best I can do is a stick and....the thing in the quagmire in the middle of the island. Yes. I am probably one of the few that had to use this thing as a last ditch effort.

And when I walked the orb back up the mountain on a trek I made many times before and placed it on the small patch of flat ground, I gave several great whacks and the orb lobbed up and over the edge of the mountain and rested safely on top!
