Why is it so hard to find the tails on these lizards? I mean I see them when I fight them and yet I hardly get drops. I’m having flashbacks of hunting Goretusk Livers for pie in Westfall.

      For regular play, not boss fights, my favorite is the stealth set. You can have some really interesting encounters sneaking up on things, and it makes farming fireflies much easier.

      Barbarian set, 100%. It’s good to have each elemental set (eg lightning, ice, fire) 4* for protection against a particular tough elemental foe, but imo the barbarian set at 4* is pure insanity in terms of damage.

      Though I guess, that was the beauty of the game as I saw it, if you wanted to be a barbarian tank you could do that and use the right foods to protect you as and when… or you could get that damage boost from food and use different gear.

        Do you mean to say, that food bonuses do not stack with equipment after you max out a bonus on one side?

          They don’t stack from what I heard from someone else. I’m not testing myself, so I might be wrong.

          Food attack up buffs stack up to the 3 attack up buff with armor. You can kinda see it if you have 1 piece of armor and the eat 1 attack up food. After 3 stacks it’s wasted though. I normally eat defense up, but other attack up armor like elemental or bone proficiency stack as well.

          Sorry but I don’t know the answer to this. My assumption was that you’ve got 4 stars for damage, and you can get there with food or armour bonuses; with that multiplying the value of whatever weapon is being used. Not sure whether that’s right or not.

      Hylian is easy, Hero of Wind isn’t too bad and has damage bonus. Hero of Twilight has same bonus but took me a bit longer.

      I don’t know if I maxed any other sets. Did some partial upgrades on Climbing Gear and the elemental sets and that was good enough.
