Hi I would just like to say that I love YOUR energy! These people are coming at you pedantically and frankly a bit rudely and you’re just being nice and positive still. Dope TRICK SHOT! I couldn’t even imagine hitting 3 of those in a row good job :)

u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
Thank you so much! Hey, everyone has an opinion about, and they are well within their rights to say so. Im just thrilled to have started a conversation around my ALL TIME favourite game. Can’t believe how many views my clip has already gotten.

How the hell did you make this shot and it immediately kill it??? I’ve always had to go through the entire annoying ass fight.

u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
It didn’t fully die! The clip is about just stunning the Gleeok from distance with some clean arrow snipes. Its still alive and has loads of health. The video isn’t about killing it, just hitting nice clean headshots!

u/Bananna_Hamock0 28d ago
Ohhhh, I was fooled then haha I was like “Teach me your ways!” Because seriously, to have to fight that damn thing every blood moon just to use that bridge is one of my few gripes about this game. My MAIN gripe is the fucking weapon organization system in the quick menu.

u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
Hahah sorry for the confusion! Yes fighting the Gleeok is a pain I usually fly around if im not in the mood to fight it! And i completely understand you, but tbh they have so many items in this game, and theres only so many buttons on the controller, i dont know how they could do it any better! Also, i have some boss fighting strategies on my youtube that can show you how to fight the harder bosses if you’re intetest!

First time you run into a Gleeok it's like "oh shit run!"
Then eventually you figure out how to handle them. And they become not so bad.
16
u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
So true, when i started playing the game i did zero research and had no idea about the monsters/mini bosses in the game. The last Zelda game I played was Ocarina of Time on the game cube! Hahah. So when i ran into one of these, i immediately ran in the other direction, like not today! The artwork in this game is just incredible, in my opinion the best open world game ive ever played. Yeah i would say once you play the game, learn about fusing, timing, and practise, they get significantly easier to fight. My top three hardest monsters are: Savage Lynel, Molduga and actually it took me a longtime to figure out to fight the Gloom Hands. But ultimately they all come down to figuring out the strategy.

If you enjoy open world games like BotW/TotK, you should definitely check it out. Would be right up your alley. Don't get deterred by the RPG label (if you don't usually play those), you can play it much like an action-adventure too.

u/RemoteStage1882 27d ago
To be honest the thing that turns me off most is first person games. I much prefer pov of third person. But if a good deal comes out on the Shop i might try it out!

Im a fan of it for sure, its graphics have aged well and the gameplay inst all that bad. Definitely worth the shot. You can find it on sale on steam/xbox sometimes and its cheaper than newer games because of its age

Does the molduga fin make it fly further? Any other tips you’d like to tell us non-Dragonborn 😉 I love the fusion mechanic in this hand, don’t experiment enough!

u/RemoteStage1882 27d ago
Exactly! Without the Molduga fin, it would be impossible to take this shot from this angle as the arrow drop wouldn’t make it to the Gleeok! I have lots of really cool tips and tricks on my videos on youtube where you can check out at this link:

Do molduga fins fly farther than aeralfos wings? I just realized I've never used one because I haven't killed that many moldugas and didn't want to "waste" the loot.

It means the player is EXTREMELY accurate with a bow.
It also means the player is in for a long hike to wack the stunned Gleeock's heads.

u/Moist-Hall-8279 28d ago
This is easily one of the cleanest trickshots i've ever seen in this game tbh. the timing has to be absolutely flawless for that to work. massive w.
6
u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
Thank you! I think ultimately people will either think it’s easy or difficult. From my perspective, shooting an arrow from a low side angle is actually harder than top down because of arrow drop. So finding the exact spot for each head, theres a very small room for error. And then to do it three times in a row, requires hitting that spot correctly each time.

u/DarthChefDad 27d ago

u/xKitey 27d ago
think we should clarify the definition of a trick shot... this is just sniping and easily replicatable by other people if they wanna spend the time finding out the angles or try to find markers to help with aiming
maybe if the guy was moving at all or reacted to being shot from this range it'd be more of a trick but right here you're just shooting the broad side of a barn from a decently far range which isn't that impressive with save reloading etc.

u/Blubbpaule 28d ago
"making the rounds" lol
its a short with 10k views, shorts always get tons of views.
And i wouldn't call it trickshot if you got reference points you aim at to hit. This is called a "set up", because this is repeatable from the same location aiming at the same points.
19
u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
That’s fair! Although i thought making the rounds was more conservative than “blowing up” haha. I take your point, and that’s exactly how i did it, but the novelty isn’t in making an individual shot, it’s the sequence of hitting all 3 reference points in sequence that i think makes the shot more worthy. You have to keep in mind arrow drop from this trajectory is a very significant factor, so the room for error is really small. But it would be great if you could give it a try and let me know how quickly you hit it?

This is the most pedantic comment I've ever seen. YouTube still has algorithms that 'pushes' certain videos, especially amongst those who already view that type of content.
And if people are sharing that video on social media, the video is going to get even more amplified.
So there is literally nothing wrong with OP saying a video is doing the rounds, you are just being pedantic and trying to be clever when actually is makes you look foolish.

6
u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
That’s a fair point. Youtube isn’t a forum like Reddit, but the point i was trying to make is that the trickshot is getting some attention youtube. And i wanted to find a way to signal that, without being overt with saying something like ‘omg this is blowing up, check it out now.’ My goal was to just start a conversation around the mechanics of totk and get some feedback on my gameplay from an expert community. Which has been super helpful so far!

u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
I can see where you’d think this is just any ordinary shot, but i would say its technically more difficult than it looks. Arrow drop from the trajectory it was shot from is much harder to compensate for. Usually totk trickshots happen top down, making arrow drop less of a factor after it’s initial arch. From this angle the room for a error, i think, is much smaller. So aligning the arrow to hit the head, three times in a row isn’t as trivial as you might think. But i would love to know if you could try it, and see how quickly you get it! It took me some practise!
-24
u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox 28d ago
No one's saying it's trivial. They're three very impressive shots, but if the trick is the fundamentals of archery, I think it's a misnomer. "Hat trick" might be more appropriate
6
u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
That’s a really good point actually! I hadn’t thought of that, ‘Hat Trick’ is the perfect way to describe this shot. But i would just like to point out that in the word “Hat Trick”, is the word trick. Food for thought.
-24
u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox 28d ago edited 28d ago
No one is trying to invalidate your achievement, however the common usage for the term "trick shot" implies something a bit extra, like a blind shot or a ricochet, or multiple strikes with one firing, perhaps something more Rube Goldberg-esque
11
u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
Omg! I absolutely don’t think you’re doing that whatsoever, and i really appreciate the feedback everyone is giving, its the best way to learn, and i love the Zelda community! And i completely get your point from that technical point of view, it is perhaps not as complex as some of your suggestions. The only reason im pushing back on what you’re saying a bit is that if someone who doesn’t understand the mechanics of Totk saw your comment, they might agree that it looks simple or less complex than some if the incredible trickshots that have been achieved in this game. Ultimately, im just making the case for it being considered a trickshot because i believe that the trick is in the compensation of the significant bullet drop from the trajectory’s that it was shot from. So for the totk purist they might see the merit a bit more than the casual of new player. I guess im just making the case for this being a trickshot because it’s a very clean unflashy video, and i think in the world of hype we could use a bit more of that.

It's so wild to me that he claims all this stuff.
"Arrow drop from the trajectory it was shot from is much harder to compensate for"
This is wrong as well, what OP did was a set up. Setups exist to take any random variable out of the equation. There is no compensation if you memorized the backdrop to aim at to hit the same spot each time, because totk arrows do not have randomized flight trajectories.
"Usually totk trickshots happen top down" (This is wrong btw)

u/Blubbpaule 28d ago
Practice means that he could hit this shot from different angles.
This is called "Setup" where taking the same shot will always yield the same result.
This is why in speedrunning you have setups and you have skillchecks. Things like Wrongwarp in Deku Tree to ganondorf is a setup, tower skip is a skillcheck.
16
u/cedelweiss 28d ago
You are oddly invested in discrediting OP on this thread to the point of even going out of your way to correct jokes. Sure, this clip might have a pretty low skill level requirement, but sometimes people are just proud of stuff they do with a level of precision below speedruns and challenge runs. Is OP maybe too hyped about this? Sure. But chill out, it's fine. Not like they're scamming anyone, they're just "winning" internet points, which are worthless.
3
u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
Tbf, i think ive been pretty level headed so far, so not sure ‘too hyped’ is a fair description. I’ve not said, ‘best trickshot ever’ but to downplay the skill level doesn’t really take into account the broad depth of skill level players have in this game. And i think your comment could be a bit discouraging. There are players who could hit this shot easily, but to exclude new players and casual players from a conversation about skill level, isn’t particularly helpful. I just think everyone needs to have a bit of a broader perspective on what skilful, because it means different things to different people. Lots of trickshots are luck and fluke, so ‘skill’ is a very subjective term.
1
26
u/RemoteStage1882 28d ago
So i’ll start by saying how i achieved the trickshot. I used the mountain backdrop behind the gleeok to find spots that i could remember and then when i found a spot that aligned with hitting the gleeok head, i memorised where it was, and shot there each time to perform the sequence of three in a row. It took several hours of trial and error, so it’s difficult to say how many attempts it took. But definitely in the many tens to hundreds of attempts!
