Dear Readers,
I hiked west across the Hills of Baumer towards Hylia River. I reached the beach where there was a metal puzzle I completed before. I said hi to the Korok there.
I was looking for his neighbour, who was hiding under a stone nearby. I uncovered him for another Korok seed.
Dear Readers,
I continued west along the path after the last post and I got attacked by a big Yiga. He beat me up quite a bit and at the same time there were two Octoroks shooting at me. It's a very dangerous place for such an early place in the game.
Anyway I eventually beat up the Yiga and I hunted the annoying Octoroks until they died.
After that I hiked up the hill and came across three apple trees. I had to make the apple patterns on them match for a Korok seed.
After this I headed to the camp nearby to cook some food as I was actually low on health.
Dear Readers,
In the same little wood as in the previous post, there was a very obvious mound sticking out from the trees. There was a Korok here and I couldn't find exactly where it was. I was also trying not to alert the Bokoblin camp that was very close by.
The Korok was not on top of the mound so I went down and checked around the sides. I then spotted a tiny opening blocked by cracked rocks. I used a sledgehammer to break them because a bomb would've been too loud. I then found the cosiest little hollowed out interior where I found goodies, including another Korok under a stone.
What a cute little shelter! I would've loved finding this in the early game. I should've been more curious back then.
Dear Readers,
I glided west from Dueling Peaks and down into the little wooded path I travelled on so many times in the early game. There were still secrets to find here.
This one wasn't a huge secret at all. It was just a hole and a boulder right next to it on the west edge of the little wood here. I simply had to give a little push and I got another Korok seed.
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.
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.
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!
