Update: Finally fused a weapon at 42 power. Many here have probably fused a weapon much higher but my next highest weapon is 29 so to me this shit is off the charts lol. Also found a decayed Royal claymore which looks sick as hell.
Depths exploration is still easily the most fun part of the game for me. I love dark areas where you can’t see shit lol, and the depths also has the best rewards like Poe souls, Zonaite, high level weaponry, an abundance of bomb flowers, muddy buddies, etc…in addition to high level weaponry. The enemies are also a ton of fun down there I find, they are so strong that I find myself really concentrating when I deal with them, and Flurry Rush is honestly so toned down that I rarely land it even when trying which is great. Combat in this game imo is far improved from BOTW, toning down Flurry Rush was the best thing they could have done, it now feels like it takes actually skill like a parry or something and the game’s combat outside of Flurry Rush is just excellent.
I also love the shrines that take all of your equipment away and make you scavenge from scrap. Once again the weapon durability system forcing me to experiment with different weapons is just great, but I feel like they tuned up the weapon’s durability a bit so weapons you like don’t break as quickly.
And I’m finally approaching Lurelin Village lol. The pirates/monsters have destroyed so many people’s lives here that I’m ready to kick some shit in lol.
The game just keeps improving the closer and closer I look at it.
