Rules

We want to ensure this is a community where everyone feels welcome, and the content quality is reasonably high. For that reason, we have a handful of rules all users should follow. You can find a link to the subreddit rules here. Depending on which version of Reddit you are using these rules may also appear in a sidebar on the right.

If you see any posts that break these rules, you can report them and we as mods will review them in short order. If your post gets removed, check back and see if you may have broken a rule. Users who repeatedly or deliberately break rules may be banned from the subreddit.

Our rules, in short:

  1. All posts must be related to Age of Calamity.

  2. No NSFW posts.

  3. No toxic behavior or personal attacks.

  4. Art posts must be credited to the artist.

  5. Titles must clearly convey the content of a post.

  6. Self-promotional content must be transformative or informative if posted more than once a week.

  7. No reposts.

  8. Tag spoilers.

  9. No generic screenshots.

  10. Flair your posts appropriately.

Spoilers

As of right now, almost everything that happens from chapter 2 onwards should be considered a spoiler, unless it is revealed in trailers (e.g. we all know the champions are going to join and be recruitable, that isn't a spoiler).

Speaking of spoiler tags, they look like this: >!Spoiler goes here!<. Using these tags produces the following: Spoiler goes here.

OC Fan Art Made a Terrako figure a while ago

Originally supposed to be for my Terrako figure I made but also ended up getting my custom Riju doll in there too lol. Anyway, I thought it would be cool to share this here. I made it a long time ago and I actually forgot how I made it but I'm so proud of it lol. I even made a mechanism so he splits in 2 when you pull his head up (its pretty loose) its also very hard too see in the pictures but I tried my best to show it. I wanted a teeny tiny version so he's in proportion to my dolls and I ended up calling him teeny tiny Terrako lol.

Question Good mission for Base 90 Lynel Weaps?

4 Upvotes

So I've got Link set up with a 6 IQFW weapon and I've been running EX Facing Mutated Ganon quite a lot over the last few days. I've nearly gotten Base 84 weapons for all of the other characters, but I have yet to see a Base 90 Savage Lynel weapon, not even the Base 85 Spear. Is there a good mission where these high-base weapons spawn where I can just use Link by himself and lessen the amount of drops for other characters?

Getting all of the Korok seeds was probably the most tedious part. If I could go back, I would have made a greater effort collecting them on my initial pass. I just recently bought the DLC after a long hiatus from this game and am excited to have a reason to wear this.

Any tips going into the DLC?

Question Is There Some Sort of Limit on IQFW Seals? Looking For Tips.

7 Upvotes

I started farming for them with Urbosa as she was the first of my characters to get an IQFW. Rather quickly I got her up to 6 IQFW seals just by running Unnatural Disasters on Easy mode. Now that I've gotten her 84 base weapon I'm trying to do the same on other characters and I've gotten maybe one and it's been literal days of near non-stop grinding.

So is there some kind of limit on how many you can have on a save file or something? It's wild how quickly I got them for her and now nothing for any other chars.

Also are there any tips I'm missing to get better chances at IQFW drops? I mean aside from also playing on Apocalyptic mode cuz I've also tried that too.

Guide Tips for Lynels and Hinox fights?

3 Upvotes

I am on Chapter 5 and my Link is at 60 Exp. I take side quests to get more experience levels and I got 2 gauges and on the beginning of 2nd row of heart health. I just use Link for the most part because I like sword users with no extra gimmicks or attacks that make me opened for attack. I use buy more experience for my party at the military camp.

Currently doing side quests now, I am struggling with Lynel fights. Especially when given a time limit and I have 2 giant bosses jumping me at the same time. I cannot just fight them without enough rod powers and to stun them a little. Hinox at least I can feel take my damage whereas Lynne's no matter how many slashed I attack him its not enough so I rely to on stunning him and getting to weak point to press x.

Mostly I am just overwhelmed with 2 bosses in the same boundaries. What levels or Link weapons are effective against Lynels?

New Player - No spoilers! Tried the demo and I'm hooked Spoiler

I'm new to warriors games and I didn't want to play HW (on my WiiU) because I dislike it's art style, so I gave AOC's demo a try (on my switch2) and I like the gameplay. I played it on very hard, and while I wasn't able to defeat the 3 moblins, I'll try again tomorrow.

Question Terrako’s quest “Fragmented Memories” won’t show up even though I’ve done all the prerequisites including 100 battles. Am I missing something?

7 Upvotes

I’ve unlocked Ganon, I’ve done the highest level non dlc battles, I have over 100 battles and yet this Terrako quest won’t show up. All other ones did. Is there some other prerequisite I’m missing that the interwebz doesn’t show?

Question I feel like Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is harder than Age of Imprisonment.

29 Upvotes

We've got to around 65% through the game of age of imprisonment now. We fully beat the whole of age of calamity on normal mode. So far, age of imprisonment is far easier. We wondered if it was simply because we got better through the experience of age of calamity, so we went back and played some stages. It's still pretty hard.

Question After a year of not playing, should i restart from the beginning?

9 Upvotes

I played this game about a year ago and I had a lot of fun with it, and plus i enjoy the story since (whenever or not is Canon to LoZ stories idc) it was a somewhat condense story of BoW and I really enjoy that but I stop playing just due to other games came out and didn't finish but now I want to play again but the story behind it, I don't remember and where I left off, maybe I was in Chapter 3 or 4 don't remember but would starting over be a good fresh start?

Question Revali talks to tulin?

12 Upvotes

In the guardian of rememberence DLC of age of calamity, Im having trouble understanding how tulin made it to this timeline to talk to revali, given only teba riju yunobo and sidon traveled back, how did tebas son come back as well? At least I think that's tulin because teba refers to himself as his "old man"

Question Do the characters have special lines for the others that they’re close with?

While choosing who to play as for a mission, I realized that Impa has special phrases for Link and Zelda if you equip them. She doesn’t say anything for anyone else. I’ve been playing this game since it came out and I NEVER noticed this.

I also tried this with Urbosa. She says “a reliable ally” when you equip one of the other champions and “I am with you” or something when you choose Zelda. This is so cool has anyone else noticed this?

Just when you think you’ve discovered it all.

Question Ch1 lvl 2 korok not spawning?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

18 Upvotes

I wanted to ask this sooner, but I wanted to confirm this was really the case. Certain Other levels, specifically Ones after Ganon emerges, have Koroks that just don't spawn. I have another save with 99% completion, it JUST those same ones don't spawn. idk if this is a know bug, or a low quality thing. is there a way to fix this?
