Evening of Tuesday, September 4, 2018 ~ 2
It was time to smarten up—I could
at least aim for what materials I
wanted. And Luminous Stone from Zora’s Domain was a pretty easy place to start.
I wandered around to Upland
Zorana—finally spying on my way, via Magnesis, the Ceremonial Trident at the bottom of the channel beneath the western
bridge. Trello had said it had fallen
down there....
But I only took a mental note of
its location and continued up into the hills, ranging all over, collecting
Luminous Stone.
On a paraglide back down toward the
Domain proper, I saw that Kilton had parked his balloon near Ralis Pond, so I
went to pay him a visit.
Upon approaching him I noticed that
the back of his hood (he always faced away from the counter at first) seemed to
have.... a hole in it? What?
So I spoke to him, wondering if he
had anything new.
And LO AND BEHOLD his hot new item tonight was the LYNEL MASK.
And he confided to me that he had
recently nearly been killed while studying actual Lynels to design this mask!
Well that explained the hole then! XD
Lynel
Mask?
YES PLEASE!
I sold him monster bits for Mon—999 Mon!—and then exchanged again and
the Lynel Mask was mine.
SWEET.
I tried it on right away—and laughed so hard—for similar to how he
had done with other masks, Link immediately took on the stance and air of
its.... what was that word.... exemplificator....
He stood up tall and puffed out his
chest and held back his arms like some beefy bodybuilder posing for a film ad!
XD Oh my gosh.... XD
Kilton warned me, though.... Lynels
were smart. The mask might not fool them for long.
Well I’d just burn that bridge when
I came to it then. :)
With my pockets full of Luminous
Stone and my Lynel Mask in tow, I sailed down to try and pick up that
Ceremonial Trident....
It was a bit of a chore to reach
it. But only because I so often forget and neglect the Sheikah Slate power of Cryonis. With a little persistence I was
able to ice-bridge my way out to the center of the channel, grab the Trident
and get back to solid ground.
But I still didn’t know how to
plunge it into the pedestal at the Veiled Falls. I spoke to Trello, I spoke to
Laruta, I spoke to Keye.... Keye gave the same demonstration he always had: you
jump up high and then slam your spear
into the ground.
But I had already tried that with
Lady Mipha’s Lightscale Trident, to no effect. And I gave it a go with the Ceremonial Trident. Still nothing.
What
was I doing wrong?
I
didn’t like damaging these weapons....
Jump
up high.... jump up high.... Did I have to go higher? There was a way for that....
I put on my Zora Armor and jetted
straight up the Veiled Falls, bursting out the top to hang in the air by my
paraglider. Then down, down, down I floated....
I took care to center myself
directly over the pedestal. And when I was still high up, but not so high that
I’d injure myself.... I let go and plunged down with the weapon....
I didn’t hit dead center, but it was enough.
The Dagah Keek Shrine rumbled out
of the earth just up near Ralis Pond!
Well that would make an excellent waypoint up into the hills! It
would save a long jog up the stairs and across the bridge anyway.
I entered the shrine and received
the monk’s blessing. Excellent.
Trello later mentioned something
about a similar effect the Lightscale Trident might have on.... Mipha’s
pedestal?
What like the one in the square?
Which I considered and.... might
have even tried once or twice.... but....
I don’t like damaging these spears.
