285 zelda breath of the wild - burning a path through shae mo'sah shrine

Dear Readers,

I took on this shrine, which seems to be the main shrine and warp point near Goron City. There were lots of doors to open with weighted switches. I had to burn obstacles that were keeping me from getting the heavy barrels I needed.

There was lots of treasure to find and little guardians to beat up too. One of the treasures was a stone smasher. Looking forward to using that thing soon!

I kept pressing ahead and burning what I needed to burn. I needed to guide a metal ball at some point to make a wheel spin too, which wasn't much trouble. One of the treasures was a key and eventually I reached the monk.

284 zelda breath of the wild - mining and saving up for the full heat proof suit

Dear Readers,

After talking to the boss of the Gorons, I set off looking for Yunobo, the one who was going to help me. I met happy and grumpy Gorons and asked them more about where he was. They eventually pointed out in the direction of a few islands out in a big lake of lava. I followed until I got to a point where I couldn't go any further with the heat, even with my armour. I only had one piece of the fireproof set, so I was going to have to save up to get the other two pieces. I wanted to save up 2,700 rupees.

I went exploring, continuing on paths I was able to go. I crossed a bridge that was above Goron City and I also met many bomb octoroks, fire keese and lizalfos. I kept my lizalfos mask on most of the time.

The path led to the lava before Death Mountain itself. I couldn't cross here yet either. After this I wandered around, finding lots of ore to mine with my sledgehammer. There was so much of it in the end that I had more than enough to raise money for the other pieces of the heat armour. I was finally all suited up! I'll upgrade it with the Great Fairies soon.

No apples grow around here unfortunately, so I couldn't continue my simmered fruit business, but mining the ore made up for it.

I also found the drillshaft, which a young Goron hid. I showed it to him and he let me have it during a side quest.

I found two shrines in the area too. I'll talk about them shortly.

145 pokémon picross - m01 seventh row, fifth column

Dear Readers,

When unlocking this I used Zygarde which made the process very quick and easy.

The tile itself was the easiest yet! I had a grand total of six squares to fill in on the top right! The rest of it was all X! Very fast and easy puzzle. Nice to get those now and again!

144 pokémon picross - m01 fifth row, sixth column

Dear Readers,

Unlocking this tile was annoying because I went to the trouble of using Mew, but I made a mistake and ended up having to rush to get within the 1 minute requirement. I made it thankfully.

Anyway, this tile was shaped like a cross with the top right chamber closing in a loop. It was slightly tricky but not too bad as there were a couple of big numbers. I felt I had to work from the inside out for the most part.

143 pokémon picross - m01 third row, seventh column

Dear Readers,

This tile had one full line and one completely empty line. The pattern it made was kind of like if you can imagine a bridge with a slope and supporting structure, though that kind of takes a bit of imagination. Time consuming but very doable.
