First Chest in "Striking North" not spawning

Hey guys, I have a Problem with the chest spawn in the Mission "Striking North". The first chest is not spawning on its location. My map indicator in the battle select screen is showing me that I haven't collected it yet. Is there a fix for it? I am playing on 1.0.3 so the newest Version.

Was Age of Imprisonment Rushed?

I don't want to be too negative here, but it definitely feels like someone at Nintendo pressured Tecmo Koei to rush the game out of the door so it could be a year 1 title for the Switch 2. I feel this way because:

  1. The levels feel really samey, with only a couple of themes being reused over and over again and key landmarks (Wind Temple, Fire Temple, Water Temple, Lightning Temple, Construct Factory, Rauru's version of Hyrule Castle, various Zonai sky islands and mines) being either absent or given extremely minimal roles.
  2. Ganondorf and Sonia not being playable (at least in the post-game) feels bizarre, with artwork for the former indicating he may have had a bigger role at some point.
  3. The characters feeling samey may have been a well to conserve resources (note how the non-playable ones would all need new mechanics and play styles, while many of the existing ones feel like clones).
  4. Quite a few Tears of the Kingdom enemies got minimal or non-existent roles, especially Like Likes and Gleeoks.
  5. The postgame in general feels like a bunch of extra side missions stapled together, without anything that shakes up the formula in any real way.
  6. According to those that know Japanese, the localisation feels somewhat rushed and inconsistent, as if it wasn't give an extra once over by the team.

It's still a really good game, and the new mechanics do work well, but a lot of things just make me suspect it wasn't really given much time in the oven so to speak.

FINALLY got Raru down to below 60 seconds!

Been farming Eve of the Final Confrontation for good seals. If you didn’t know, you can “usually” get 1 ++ seal there in less than 2 minutes total time. Phantom fights are great for getting 11 or so meh seals. But this and a few other fights are way faster with a higher chance of 1 ++ seal.

I’ve been leading with Calimo and smashing with Braton. Their setups are in the pictures. I basically just run up and spam alternating ice and electric tornados with Y chip damage between. It’s usually 4 tornados before he’s ready to smash. Then I switch to Braton to smash. If you didn’t know, Braton’s smash does more damage than any other character’s smash and can KO Raru here in 3 smashes instead of everyone else’s 4.

I’ve kitted a lot of weapons with interesting seals from farming this for a week now. I started in the 2 minute 45 second range. I knew I could get it below 60 seconds if I honed things. I had to get control of Calimo’s jumps because if you aren’t pressing forward for a certain moment before you press B your character will jump backwards, which wastes time. And I had to start “herding” Raru back toward Braton while stunlocking and chipping him because it’s easy to push Raru off in a straight line if you don’t think about it. Then Braton is really far away and it wastes more time. I’m still figuring out how the elements work in conjunction with each other. But when I started alternating between ice and electric it did a better job of getting the bright cracks and reducing his gage faster.

Anybody else farming this fight? How quick have you gotten it? Got any tips? Know of any other good fights to farm for seals or items?
