Is there a way to know if a shrine has been activated (and I can travel to it with the map) but not completed, just by looking at it from the outside not using the map?
I’ve been exploring and using the scope while flying to find shrines, but a lot of times I never know if I’ve been there before or not by just looking at it without using the pins and the map features. It’s very annoying.
In BoTW I could see it by just looking at the shrines because if the lights of the shrine were all yellow I still had to activate it, if they were blue at the bottom and yellow at the top they were activated but not completed, if they were all blue they had been activated and completed.
Is there a similar way I can figure out if a shrine has been activated by just looking at it in ToTK without having to use the map? Thanks!

Just curious what others do or think is better , I try to aim manually but often in a pinch just aim controller . Not always huge on motion control but definitely don’t like aiming with toggle on fps games because it’s too sensitive

Im a 39 year old man and I hung up video games a long time ago. I did play BOTW and liked it...but I recently picked up TOTK one day as its been sitting as a christmas gift years ago. And now...i can say I havent been this addicted to a game since I was a teenager. Hands down, best game as of late.

My wife regrets buying it for me. We are busy hustlers but now? Im hustlin' for flower bombs. Help!

edit: subject should be phantom ganon backscratcher, since the 1 hp part does not work on ganon proper.

I didn't know about this before, but if you have:

• bone proficiency armor, like luminous or evil spirit
• master sword with molduga jaw attached
• the sword on very last hit of durability, like one more hit and it breaks. (merely having the message of "about to run out of energy" is not sufficient!)
• 3x attack up potion

then phantom ganon dies in a single flurry rush, with 3 hits. (actually the first two of the 3 hits already do like 90% of the damage).

Note all forms of ganon, including phantom, don't consume any durability for master sword. However, this does not apply to the hands, do not hit them with the master sword on 1 hp unless you want the energy to run out. Additionally, in the ganon fight your master sword is auto-repaired to full, and won't consume durability even if you repeatedly slam it into the ground, so this won't work there.

I know the name is not perfect, because you're not really riding on the phantom ganon's back the way you would a lynel

EDIT: accidentally said saber horn not modulga jaw. Corrected

EDIT 2: added comment about not working in ganon fight

The most recent thread I've found on this subject with any traction is about three years old, so I figured I'd ask again .. where can one farm Captain III horns?

From the previous thread to consolidate responses:

• Between Aris Beach and Clarinet Coast (approx 2103, -3928, 0031). Two Captain Construct IIIs, plus a ton of porgies in the water. ( u/ironyinabox, u/widgetone986)
• Between Tarry Town and Ulria Grotto (approx 4166, 1013, 0282). ( u/kodrian)
• Vatorsa Snowfield, southest of Geurdo Summit (approx -3461, -1092, 0525). ( u/jackhorse7, u/peprbeardo)
• Typhlo Ruins, two total Captain Construct IIIs. (approx 0217, 3205, 0174 & 0371, 3214, 0174) ( u/cookiekid6, u/widgetone986, and u/justafleshwound1)

Any others?
