544 zelda breath of the wild - a stone on a ledge of the southern dueling peak

Dear Readers,

The next nearest Korok seed from my location in the last post that I had yet to find was at the Dueling Peaks, specifically the southern one.

I warped to the top of the mountain and parachuted down to check its cliff ledges. I found a stone on one of them and checked underneath to obtain another Korok seed. I also paused briefly to let a charging goat dash past me.

543 zelda breath of the wild - heavy slab in popla foothills

Dear Readers,

From the last post I hiked northwest a little bit, looking for any signs of Koroks.

I found a very obvious one, which was a heavy slab with a stone underneath it — a sure fire sign of a hidden Korok. I knocked it away with Stasis and got myself another seed.

542 zelda breath of the wild - crazy golfing in popla foothills

Dear Readers,

From the last puzzle I headed east up into the Popla Foothills. It was dark, it was murky, it was very hilly and hostile too. It's hard to navigate places like these. I'm glad I have maps and guides to find stuff.

The next Korok puzzle I did was like another crazy golf puzzle. I came across the hole and with Stasis I found three boulders that were some ways away. It was nighttime and I got attacked by Stalkoblins and regular Keese a few times. I guess this is meant to be an early-game part of Hyrule since the enemies weren't too much trouble.

Anyway, the golfing wasn't much trouble either, despite the distance. A couple of hits with Stasis and I was able to sink the boulder into the hole easily. Not a hole in one, mind you - I guess you could say it was a birdie or a par!

541 zelda breath of the wild - metal puzzle in grove near deya lake

Dear Readers,

From the last post I headed northwest towards Deya Lake. I went down into a tiny sheltered little grove where I found a metal puzzle. I moved quietly as I could hear an Octorok squeaking, a Keese flapping, and a Bokoblin grumbling. I found the metal block up in a tree and moved it easily with magnesis to finish the puzzle.

540 zelda breath of the wild - directly north of damel forest under rocks

Dear Readers,

From the last post, the next Korok seed I wanted to find was directly north. I kept trekking until my trek went uphill and through what looked like a v-shaped passage. On the right hand side of the passage was a pile of rocks I didn't notice until I turned around and spotted them. I blew them up with a bomb and found the Korok hiding under a stone that was revealed.

539 zelda breath of the wild - return to damel forest and succeeding!

Dear Readers,

I returned to the area with the boulders from two posts ago in Damel Forest. The boulder was back up on its pillar, which was nice! This time I took a different approach: I simply shot a bomb arrow at the boulder.

It fell. Then the Korok puzzle solved chime played and I got another seed, simple as that! Much better than trying to use Stasis and breaking weapons!

538 zelda breath of the wild - symmetrical metal puzzle around spring of courage

Dear Readers,

Around the Spring of Courage is a big structure. On one side of it I found a metal puzzle. I didn't see any metal block so I assumed it was on the opposite side of the structure. My assumption paid off when I saw it on the other side!

I took great care carrying the metal block from one side to the other so I could get the Korok seed. I didn't want to upset any enemies in the area, even though I'd say I'd be well able for them now. The structure was in ruins and footing was uneven, but I managed it well in the end with both Magnesis and bare handed carrying.
