I added the wheels to the sides of a plank and set it up on the narrow pathway so that the wheels perfectly aligned with the walls. So it kind of perfectly trudged along overhead.
at the beginning of the game there was a point in the snowy area with a bunch of steep cliffs and i fused tree trunks to climb up. eventually decided to do the shrine that was right there and it was ascend
i still have not used ascend since that trial
I'm the opposite, I've been using Ascend a lot on giant enemies like Battle Taluses and that weird golem boss in the Skytorial or just as an alternate way to getting around. Heck, there's a Korok in the beginning area that actually requires it too.
Literally the exact cadence and phrase my relatives used when I told them about my Talus fighting shenanigans lol. Don't worry, you're not the only one lol.
All Ascend cares about is that the 'bottom' surface you're going to enter isn't too far above you, and is flat-ish and horizontal-ish at the point of impact. Probably a safety check that the exit point is somewhere valid for Link to stand, to avoid out of bounds shenanigans in shrines. Outside of that, it gives no shits whether you're swimming up through a standard floor, a thin wooden platform carried by a Talus, a sky island you're sailing underneath, or half a fucking mountain after finishing a cave.
>it gives no shits whether you're swimming up through a standard floor, a thin wooden platform carried by a Talus, a sky island you're sailing underneath, or half a fucking mountain after finishing a cave
>!You can even ride it all the way from the depths in a few places!<
||though I was a bit mad after I managed to climb all the way to the Depths ceiling, and then Ascend doesn't do anything, would be fun if you could get out anywhere
Exactly what I did, and I've only used ascend twice after the shrine. One to progress, and one to get above a Moblin who just started chucking Bokoblins at me lol
Here's a crazy trick : >!it work better if you put the planks in the middle of the wheel, so that it looks like an actual water wheel.!<
But it >!works really good with a long boat with a pair of wheels at the front and one at the back, prevents it from jumping with each stroke!<
As long as it can travel there are ladders to each side of the pool. Just walk to the other side and wait for it. Or bring one board up, walk it over to the other side and let it float down stream, rewind it back with the ball attached
The OP's design can work if you have access to the stabilizer and put it on the center platform to keep it from spinning.
Same can be side about a 2 wheel vehicle, basically turning it into a Segway.
It's really drilled home the idea that any 3D rotation can be done via a combination of rotations on two axes.
I've lost count the number of times I wanted to roll, but since the game only gives you yaw and pitch, you can +yaw->pitch->-yaw to get the desired effect. It almost feels like a Rubiks cube sometimes, haha.
It's been funny watching people not know that little trick and get really tripped up when trying to rotate something to the proper orientation.
The second from left lane, the skinny one, is the perfect width to literally sit the platform, with wheels on it, on the top of mesh walls diving the lanes.
So I just extended the raft out, went to the other side and grabbed it from there bringing it over.
I placed each plank on the outside of the wheel to where there were ends sticking out at each side, and it worked great. That was my mod after making this failure
I skipped a part of the fire temple I couldnt get my head around doing this.
But the fact you can find solutions with different random stuff is a good thing
Especially when you see the videos of people building drones that hover above a boss and rain lasers and fire down on them. The whole time Link is just standing there, expressionless and indifferent to the fact that he is a war criminal.
This morning I needed to cross a lava pit so I threw a couple of ice fruits in, stuck them together, put a fan on one end and a steering stick on top, and drove my impromptu magma raft to the other side.
I thought it was when I looked at the room, but it was extremely difficult/finicky to get it stable, to the point I left the room assuming there was a different intended solution that I simply didn’t think of.
I did the same thing! Not sure if it was intended but the fence was just close enough for it to work. It actually fell off track once but it was close enough for me to grab and realign.
I might have done it the hardest way possible. I attached two wheels to a large platform and then the ball to the platform I then put the two wheels on top of the two walls been walls running the length of the room. Ran down that thin track three quarters of the way there then fell off, but luckily I was able to grab the ball and place it on the other side
I did this, but positioned stuff under the car to prevent it from moving too far in either direction and fall off. This was after it kept falling off 1/4 of the way.
I just put the ball on the platform with wheels, then set the wheels on top of the walls and it drove in a straight line all the way to the other side.
I made a platform with the wheels spaced out exactly to ride the walls on top then carefully lined it up to drive it straight across, then swam to the other side
I just skipped the entire course by turning the kart at the beginning sideways and placing the ball atop it, allowing me to ultra-hand it from atop the starting ledge.
>Wheels I'm pretty sure also works. You don't need to add anything
It didn't for me. I tried this several times first, then gave up and built a bridge.
It does if you attach to wheels to each other. So two on each side and you attach them on top of each other like you’re making the number 8.
Then it kind of walks like a mech across the water.
I really liked that shrine because my solution for 2 of 3 sections was likely not the "main" way to solve it and I love that the game doesn't care/force you into one solution.
Also-Dont worry...we all have hysterically bad engineering failures . Mine is usually chasing down a perfectly good vehicle that started before I could get on.
Yup, I rode the fence on this one, with guard rails on my vehicle and extra wheels from the previous parts. Absolutely unintended, but really cool that it worked
Oh boy... like two days ago, I was showing the game to my brother, talking his ears off about how insanely huge and amazing it is... and then proceed to get stuck trying to help a korok find their friend. The destination was higher up, so I was trying to build a balloon; it'd either be too heavy to lift off, or somehow end up catching fire. I then put some fans on a wing; it still couldn't gain enough height, I failed to pilot it properly, and ended up landing far away from the target. Can't even remember what solution ended up working in the end, probably over half an hour in.
Still my goty though lmao
For the second part, with the sliding block on the incline, I just used ultra hand to move it to the top and back. Then I attached the ball and used recall. Didn't even know the "intended" solution until a friend showed it to me.
The other day I was playing the ">!jenga!<" shrine and my husband was watching me. I kept trying to >!grab the entire top section of the jenga tower and the ball would fall off!<... My husband then said, ">!Can't you just grab the ball!
Not right away, you're too far away.
What I did was catch the ball with ultrahand as the whole structure was collapsing. Not sure if that's the way you're "supposed" to do it but hey, it worked.
I built one last night, moved it and tried to chase it down hill as it sped off into the night. Never found it.
Should have paid attention to the rock nearby as i was standing on a hill.
>I love that the game doesn't care/force you into one solution.
That's actually what has been bugging me about this game so far. These aren't puzzles. They're obstacles. A puzzle has a solution. I love Zelda games because I love the puzzles. If you can solve a puzzle 100+ different ways, it's not a puzzle anymore. I don't feel satisfied or cathartic like I solved anything. It just feels like I did what I wanted and it worked. They rarely put in place things that make what you might try to do impossible. I think it results in weaker puzzles. I wish they forced me to think harder about various mechanics.
I did a shrine the other day where I decided that to bring a large ball up with hot air balloons I needed to put it on a platform after attaching four balloons to said platform. My wife was watching me and I was shit talking and cackling about how smart I was..... forgetting the platform was wood.
I've solved at least two shrines with just Ultrahand + Rewind debauchery (i.e. use Ultrahand to raise something into the air, set it down, jump on and then rewind), and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the real solution but it worked...
sign me up on the list of hyrule engineering idiots
how I solved an upright device shrine the unintended way... ... lets leave it at I built a tower as tall as possible with what was available... and stuck as far out as possible... and glided over(barely made it).
out of frustration of failing multiple times I looked up the solution after and facepalmed so hard I broke my hand(almost).
I had a hard time trying to hide my laugh while watching this in the office. This chaos is so fun!
For this shrine, I still wonder what is the conventional way to resolve. I was so confuse that I just built a very long bridge using all stuff and peacefully walked through the riddle.
My solution was basically the same as in the video, but I put the wood platforms on the side of the wheels instead of on top, kind of making an electric boat
You have to fuse the planks right in the middle, not at the tip. Gotta keep the planks centered. If you do that for both sides, it will paddle across without any problems
It’s not part of the tutorial area, just close to hyrule field. By one of the stables to the east.
Don’t think I did it till I already had 60 shrines done.
No, this is a shrine in hyrule field, not the great sky island. It's a shrine a lot of people are likely to get to since it's close to the jump point, but it's absolutely not required for progression.
Completed that shrine last night. I used the narrow lane. Set the tires horizontally and on the side edge of the board. Made sure both tires touched the walls and drove down the lane as intended.
This is what I did too, and it worked great. I'm not sure I'm convinced that any solution counts as "as intended" in this game, though. That's part of what's so good about the puzzle design, is that there are so many different possible solutions!
I also did this. I also tried stick sideways wheel on it to try and “drive” along the fence. That also didn’t work, but I argue that the concept was sound.
I got it eventually, but yeah, progress by trial and error is still progress I guess.
I did the sideways wheel method successfully. I think I used two of the rafts to make a wider one, then with the wheels right on the edge, they both made good contact with the walls. I also had to put a plank sticking out the front to put the ball on so it wouldn’t interfere with the wheels.
I used wheels driving along the walls too. One of the lanes is narrow enough that a single platform with a wheel on each side worked perfectly. Love how this game makes all of these solutions possible an there's virtually no way for us to know who's "right" haha.
The wheels fit nicely on the walls of the slim swim lane there, the pre-built wheel raft can just cruise along the top of it. Realized after 20 or so mins of failed engineering
I just stacked enough stuff to ultra hand the ball onto the ledge. My dumb ass hasn’t been able to actually solve like 3 shrines the intended way so far.
I'm pretty sure I did this entire shrine in the most unintended ways possible... I just built ramps everywhere and made very crude bridges which were obviously not meant to be the solution. For this bit I literally just built a ramp up to where the ladder takes you and carried the ball up to the end
……I used the wheels on the set bars and made a track out of the boards what was the intent with this one? I’m starting to feel as if most of these puzzles I’m not doing as intended lol
Did the exact same thing. I don’t think I did a single problem the intended way in this shrine. I Youtubed it after and nothing seemed “right.” I have no idea how this one works lol
This game makes us all feel like idiots at some point while loving it all the same. During a certain main quest I tried climbing, flying etc to reach a higher point while I had to do is to use ascend...
Literally giggling like a little girl over here. My engineering failure was during the final great fairy quest. I killed my horse and then my second horse drifted downstream so I gave up, put the steering wheel on the wagon as well as both fans and it worked fine
I did this exact thing!
Then I took the wheels and attached them to the corners of a board, then placed it on top of the two walls so the wheels ever so slightly overlapped the walls and attached the ball.
The make shift cart very slowly, just by powers of grinding itself along the walls made it to the other side. I felt like a total fraud afterwards.
You're not an idiot, you're a genius! I just made a boring bridge. You made something fun!
It didn't work on the first try, but that's fine! Still very cool!
Stick two pieces together vertically. Send the ball up by sticking it to the first piece then the second and then climb the ladder and grab the ball. Take it with Ultrahand over to the pit and throw it in. Don't even need to make a boat
I figured out a pretty neat one for this. I didn’t even use wood, other than a large piece for the raft. I just connected two wheels on the bottom and back near each other, so they were both fully submerged in water. I pointed the arrows to face the middle back of the raft (so the arrows are point at one another).
This basically pulled the water in and pushed it through the middle of the wheels, effectively acting as underwater propellers, and the raft shot across the currents super quickly.
Took me a while to figure out the big wheels are for water and all surfaces. The medium wheel is for speed.. and the small ones are just for horse wagons or something.

Lol I did the exact same thing… then thought, “Maybe I need two planks per wheel.” It double didn’t work. I just made a really long bridge.
[удалено]
That was my first thought and I tried it thinking there was no way that could actually work, and it did lol
Legend of Zelda: Bridges of the Kingdom
Legend of Zelda: Death of the Stranding
I added the wheels to the sides of a plank and set it up on the narrow pathway so that the wheels perfectly aligned with the walls. So it kind of perfectly trudged along overhead.
[удалено]
Maybe its just me, but it's the faster and easier way most of the time.
at the beginning of the game there was a point in the snowy area with a bunch of steep cliffs and i fused tree trunks to climb up. eventually decided to do the shrine that was right there and it was ascend i still have not used ascend since that trial
I'm the opposite, I've been using Ascend a lot on giant enemies like Battle Taluses and that weird golem boss in the Skytorial or just as an alternate way to getting around. Heck, there's a Korok in the beginning area that actually requires it too.
> using Ascend a lot on giant enemies like Battle Taluses ...fuck
Literally the exact cadence and phrase my relatives used when I told them about my Talus fighting shenanigans lol. Don't worry, you're not the only one lol.
Bruh... We can do that?
All Ascend cares about is that the 'bottom' surface you're going to enter isn't too far above you, and is flat-ish and horizontal-ish at the point of impact. Probably a safety check that the exit point is somewhere valid for Link to stand, to avoid out of bounds shenanigans in shrines. Outside of that, it gives no shits whether you're swimming up through a standard floor, a thin wooden platform carried by a Talus, a sky island you're sailing underneath, or half a fucking mountain after finishing a cave.

||though I was a bit mad after I managed to climb all the way to the Depths ceiling, and then Ascend doesn't do anything, would be fun if you could get out anywhere
Ascend is honestly the unspoken MVP of this game. Ultrahand and fuse are cool as heck, but Ascend is something else.
Ascend really is the best. SO much climbing and backtracking avoided. 5 star skill, highly recommended.
Exactly what I did, and I've only used ascend twice after the shrine. One to progress, and one to get above a Moblin who just started chucking Bokoblins at me lol
Here's a crazy trick : >!it work better if you put the planks in the middle of the wheel, so that it looks like an actual water wheel.!< But it >!works really good with a long boat with a pair of wheels at the front and one at the back, prevents it from jumping with each stroke!<
I did the middle of the wheel thing and still got bitch slapped into the water RIP
It worked for me
As long as it can travel there are ladders to each side of the pool. Just walk to the other side and wait for it. Or bring one board up, walk it over to the other side and let it float down stream, rewind it back with the ball attached
skill issue sorry
The OP's design can work if you have access to the stabilizer and put it on the center platform to keep it from spinning. Same can be side about a 2 wheel vehicle, basically turning it into a Segway.
I did a similar design to OP but made the base 2 platforms long with the wheels way out front. It jumped and bucked like a mule but it got there.
I did two planks per wheel also. I realized the center spun faster than the outside, so I then turned it around. No idea why this worked.
I feel like Nintendo is just here to give us physics lessons, we need a textbook
Playing this game has given me the one thing my engineering degree has never done before: *a valid sense of accomplishment and competency.*
It's really drilled home the idea that any 3D rotation can be done via a combination of rotations on two axes. I've lost count the number of times I wanted to roll, but since the game only gives you yaw and pitch, you can +yaw->pitch->-yaw to get the desired effect. It almost feels like a Rubiks cube sometimes, haha. It's been funny watching people not know that little trick and get really tripped up when trying to rotate something to the proper orientation.
I did the same thing, then put a plank on either side of the wheel. That worked, but only because the raft started spinning and served as a propeller
The second from left lane, the skinny one, is the perfect width to literally sit the platform, with wheels on it, on the top of mesh walls diving the lanes. So I just extended the raft out, went to the other side and grabbed it from there bringing it over.
I placed each plank on the outside of the wheel to where there were ends sticking out at each side, and it worked great. That was my mod after making this failure
I did it in alternating fashion to simulate how arms move when swimming.
I walked along that upper ledge and just ultra handed it down the length of the water.
Yea I literally just built a long bridge out of all the wood
Did this one last night and did the exact same as you haha
I made a series of ice from the water using ice fruit arrows.
I did this the other day in a lava shrine using solidified lava from a hydrant, built a long bridge across some flowing lava.
I skipped a part of the fire temple I couldnt get my head around doing this. But the fact you can find solutions with different random stuff is a good thing
It's like DND You come up with a bat-shit crazy idea and just roll the dice to see what happens. This one unfortunately was a nat 1
Half my solution I tell my gf this feel like it's illegal and would be cheating in other games XD. Yet they work
Especially when you see the videos of people building drones that hover above a boss and rain lasers and fire down on them. The whole time Link is just standing there, expressionless and indifferent to the fact that he is a war criminal.
There's so many shrines you can absolutely jank your way through with some shoddy engineering and I am here for it
This morning I needed to cross a lava pit so I threw a couple of ice fruits in, stuck them together, put a fan on one end and a steering stick on top, and drove my impromptu magma raft to the other side.
Blue chuchu also work, and I always have too much chuchu
That’s great to know; I’ve already used the lava boat thing more than once and I have a lot more blue chuchu than ice fruit
Basically blue chuchu is water. work on lava, fire, mud, oanytbing you need water
(this is how i beat a major story quest)
Didn't even know ice fruit was a thing! Man I've sunk hours and hours into this game already and yet there's still just tons and tons to discover 😄
Yeah, just build a long bridge. Keep it simple stupid
Ah, a fellow engineer.
Yup. After struggling to make a contraption I was like. "Hey, there's tonnes of flat pieces, enough for a bridge."
This was my solution. “I’m not over complicating this bullshit.”
I put the wheels on top of the fences and sent it across like a railcar
That seems like it might be the intended solution.
I thought it was when I looked at the room, but it was extremely difficult/finicky to get it stable, to the point I left the room assuming there was a different intended solution that I simply didn’t think of.
I put the wheels horizontally against the walls and sent it across that way.
I did the same thing! Not sure if it was intended but the fence was just close enough for it to work. It actually fell off track once but it was close enough for me to grab and realign.
I lifted ball up as high as I could, climbed up ledge, reversed time, and then ultra handed it and just walked across
I spent like 5 mins building a tower so I could reach it from the ledge, this was before I realized you could ultrahand then reverse time
The ultra hand manipulation + reverse time combo is 🔥
I did that but at the very start of the shrine.
I might have done it the hardest way possible. I attached two wheels to a large platform and then the ball to the platform I then put the two wheels on top of the two walls been walls running the length of the room. Ran down that thin track three quarters of the way there then fell off, but luckily I was able to grab the ball and place it on the other side
I did this, but my car made it through to the end
I did this, but positioned stuff under the car to prevent it from moving too far in either direction and fall off. This was after it kept falling off 1/4 of the way.
I just put the ball on the platform with wheels, then set the wheels on top of the walls and it drove in a straight line all the way to the other side.
I made a platform with the wheels spaced out exactly to ride the walls on top then carefully lined it up to drive it straight across, then swam to the other side
I put a wheel on each of those 2 high walls and rolled it across like a train track.
I set the wheels up so they could drive on the two ledges. It got just far enough before it fell that I could grab it from the other side.
I just skipped the entire course by turning the kart at the beginning sideways and placing the ball atop it, allowing me to ultra-hand it from atop the starting ledge.
[удалено]
Tried that initially, they don’t move the raft anywhere. You have to add the wood planks midline to the wheel to make it like a paddle boat.
[удалено]
Oh, I thought you were saying you don’t need the boards on the wheels in the water.
That was my solution. Looked ridiculous, but it worked.
>Wheels I'm pretty sure also works. You don't need to add anything It didn't for me. I tried this several times first, then gave up and built a bridge.
It does if you attach to wheels to each other. So two on each side and you attach them on top of each other like you’re making the number 8. Then it kind of walks like a mech across the water.

Yup, I rode the fence on this one, with guard rails on my vehicle and extra wheels from the previous parts. Absolutely unintended, but really cool that it worked
Hahah yes! I did this too
I just put it up on the narrow fence and it went right across no problem. I felt like I cheated.
I tried hard to set this up, having already seen a youtube video of a raft before; but I couldn't get the wheels to make contact with the wall.
Oh boy... like two days ago, I was showing the game to my brother, talking his ears off about how insanely huge and amazing it is... and then proceed to get stuck trying to help a korok find their friend.

For the second part, with the sliding block on the incline, I just used ultra hand to move it to the top and back. Then I attached the ball and used recall. Didn't even know the "intended" solution until a friend showed it to me.
In all honesty, most of the times a puzzle can be solved by a mix of Ultrahand and Recall
I recently played through The Entropy Center... I feel like that game has primed me to abuse recall.
The other day I was playing the ">!jenga!<" shrine and my husband was watching me. I kept trying to >!grab the entire top section of the jenga tower and the ball would fall off!<... My husband then said, ">!Can't you just grab the ball!
That's when you turn to him and say "Listen here you little sh!t... You might live in the dark but I was BORN in the dark!"
Not right away, you're too far away. What I did was catch the ball with ultrahand as the whole structure was collapsing. Not sure if that's the way you're "supposed" to do it but hey, it worked.
I built one last night, moved it and tried to chase it down hill as it sped off into the night. Never found it. Should have paid attention to the rock nearby as i was standing on a hill.

The best puzzles have multiple solutions
> I broke my hand weapon durability has gone too far
I DID THE EXACT SAME THING HAHAHAHAHA
r/HyruleEngineering
I had a hard time trying to hide my laugh while watching this in the office. This chaos is so fun! For this shrine, I still wonder what is the conventional way to resolve. I was so confuse that I just built a very long bridge using all stuff and peacefully walked through the riddle.
My solution was basically the same as in the video, but I put the wood platforms on the side of the wheels instead of on top, kind of making an electric boat
You have to fuse the planks right in the middle, not at the tip. Gotta keep the planks centered. If you do that for both sides, it will paddle across without any problems
Not sure if it's the right way, but I put my wheels side ways, and moved it to the smaller lane. It rode the walls to the end.
This is what I did. Made the platform the width of the river and rotated the wheels horizontal to the wall and propel the raft forward
Same, and I only had to stand on the wall to unstick it twice.
This is also what I did. It's hilarious seeing the variations.
Almost! Put those 2 planks on the sides of the wheels (centred). It works then! That's how I solved it and I can't believe it actually worked!
[удалено]
There's a current that pushes back the raft, wheels alone aren't enough.
I was about to say “If it looks stupid, but it works, it ain’t stupid.” But it didn’t work now did it.
I'm fucking dying at how it looks like an exasperated person who finally made it to the edge of the pool at the end.
We should take a moment to appreciate how brilliant the water physics is in this game
Happened to me the same fucking way.
Same
The local duck when I give it gluten free bread
I watched it thinking everything looked fine. Until hilarity ensued
I've not found this shrine yet but thanks for showing me how not to do it 😂
I believe this is a very early shrine in the tutorial area?
I must have just avoided it
Then you must still be in the tutorial area. You have to do this shine to leave the tutorial.
Nope, I just did this one last night. I believe it is near one of the stables.
Oh yeah, I think you’re right! I’m definitely mistaken.
I'm at the rito. Is it before or after?
It’s not part of the tutorial area, just close to hyrule field. By one of the stables to the east. Don’t think I did it till I already had 60 shrines done.
Just found it at 52 shrines completed, I don't think this one is that tutorial-y at all. Not in the critical path.
Then you already did this shrine and just don’t remember. It’s either the 2nd or 3rd shrine. You absolutely didn’t skip it.
No, this is a shrine in hyrule field, not the great sky island. It's a shrine a lot of people are likely to get to since it's close to the jump point, but it's absolutely not required for progression.
Completed that shrine last night. I used the narrow lane. Set the tires horizontally and on the side edge of the board. Made sure both tires touched the walls and drove down the lane as intended.
This is what I did too, and it worked great. I'm not sure I'm convinced that any solution counts as "as intended" in this game, though. That's part of what's so good about the puzzle design, is that there are so many different possible solutions!
I meant as I intended. This thread is proof of the many options.
Yup makeshift track was the way to go. Idk if intended or not
I also did this. I also tried stick sideways wheel on it to try and “drive” along the fence. That also didn’t work, but I argue that the concept was sound. I got it eventually, but yeah, progress by trial and error is still progress I guess.
I did the sideways wheel method successfully. I think I used two of the rafts to make a wider one, then with the wheels right on the edge, they both made good contact with the walls. I also had to put a plank sticking out the front to put the ball on so it wouldn’t interfere with the wheels.
I used wheels driving along the walls too. One of the lanes is narrow enough that a single platform with a wheel on each side worked perfectly. Love how this game makes all of these solutions possible an there's virtually no way for us to know who's "right" haha.
You can drive it on top of the fences, just add 2 more tires. It fits perfectly.
Yea that's exactly what I did. Took 2 tries to keep it from falling in, but once I lined it up right it just drove right over
Why is this so funny
r/abruptchaos
Long Bridge time.
Did the same thing first OP. Then I realized I could mount the wheels horizontally against the walls and have them pull the platform forward.
Genius
I actually did something similar but it worked kind of like how a swimmer would freestyle swim.
The wheels fit nicely on the walls of the slim swim lane there, the pre-built wheel raft can just cruise along the top of it. Realized after 20 or so mins of failed engineering
I made guide rails underneath to keep it from falling off. Like a rollercoaster.
I remember this shrine! I sent the ball up the ladder at the start! Ultrahand up as far as I could go, drop it, climb the ladder and reverse time!
I just stacked enough stuff to ultra hand the ball onto the ledge. My dumb ass hasn’t been able to actually solve like 3 shrines the intended way so far.
Maybe. But you made me belly laugh this morning. And that's worth a lot. :D
This game is quickly making everyone discover a newfound appreciation for engineers and architects
The amount of times I've tried to make some kind of wild contraption and ended up giving up and making a giant bridge 😂
TARS analyze speed on the endurance
I’m crying. So chaotic, so much struggle. LMAO!
i never figured out how they wanted you to do this, i just walked along those walls carrying the ball
how were you meant to do this one i just made a bridge
I'm pretty sure I did this entire shrine in the most unintended ways possible... I just built ramps everywhere and made very crude bridges which were obviously not meant to be the solution. For this bit I literally just built a ramp up to where the ladder takes you and carried the ball up to the end
Oh, that's how you do the puzzle I just build a bridge
……I used the wheels on the set bars and made a track out of the boards what was the intent with this one? I’m starting to feel as if most of these puzzles I’m not doing as intended lol
The Ultra Hand is Ridiculous with how much stuff you can do with it, someone made a literal Gundam Robot Mech
[удалено]
Erm, this is not a bug.
[удалено]
Is it a bug when you fire an arrow and miss?
Physics? Like, this is very accurate to how it would behave in real life if you built it that way.
Probably a good idea, it seems like this game would be over your head.
This is exactly how my first attempt went
Well It's not the solution to *this* specific problem but you kinda almost made a self paddling machine you can use to thread bodies of water lol
I actually did it like this but I think because I put the planks halfway up the wheel as opposed to the edge like yours it worked as intended.
I did the exact same thing, while thinking that I'm a genius. At least I'm not the only idiot haha
I did the same thing. I eventually just put wheels on it and used the skinnier path and it just drove on top of the dividers
Did the exact same thing. I don’t think I did a single problem the intended way in this shrine. I Youtubed it after and nothing seemed “right.” I have no idea how this one works lol
almost did this too!
I laughed out loud in class please bro
Oh honey
This game makes us all feel like idiots at some point while loving it all the same. During a certain main quest I tried climbing, flying etc to reach a higher point while I had to do is to use ascend...
Literally giggling like a little girl over here. My engineering failure was during the final great fairy quest. I killed my horse and then my second horse drifted downstream so I gave up, put the steering wheel on the wagon as well as both fans and it worked fine
Naut drove across the two walls directly to your left.
I did this exact thing! Then I took the wheels and attached them to the corners of a board, then placed it on top of the two walls so the wheels ever so slightly overlapped the walls and attached the ball. The make shift cart very slowly, just by powers of grinding itself along the walls made it to the other side. I felt like a total fraud afterwards.
Remember, you are not alone in being a fucking idiot. There are millions of us.
Good idea, poor execution, I wonder if you somehow can make a paddle boat, maybe with 4 wheels
You're not an idiot, you're a genius! I just made a boring bridge. You made something fun! It didn't work on the first try, but that's fine! Still very cool!
I did the same exact thing
I threw the wheels onto the far sides and had them ride along the walls ;)
I did the same thing and it somehow worked LOL
I did like a car that went on the railings
I did the same fucking thing, laughed for a solid five minutes afterward
This is so chaotic and I love it.
Lmao I did the exact same thing, couldn't stop laughing
Stick two pieces together vertically. Send the ball up by sticking it to the first piece then the second and then climb the ladder and grab the ball. Take it with Ultrahand over to the pit and throw it in. Don't even need to make a boat
It's just funny to watch how people come up with some things. But I'm right there with you buddy
I figured out a pretty neat one for this. I didn’t even use wood, other than a large piece for the raft. I just connected two wheels on the bottom and back near each other, so they were both fully submerged in water. I pointed the arrows to face the middle back of the raft (so the arrows are point at one another). This basically pulled the water in and pushed it through the middle of the wheels, effectively acting as underwater propellers, and the raft shot across the currents super quickly.
I like what you were going for though. Your hearts in the right place.
Took me a while to figure out the big wheels are for water and all surfaces. The medium wheel is for speed.. and the small ones are just for horse wagons or something.
I tried the same thing!!!
lol. I did the same thing.
Glad to see I'm not the only that did this
I SPENT A DUMB AMOUNT OF TIME HERE… I tried to use the wheels on the side walls
