I just got BotW. So far it shows all the hallmarks of being a great game.

But I'm fucking stuck on the bit where you have to make a meal for the old man. It requires boar meet found in the Spirit Forest. But holy fuck, these things are rarer than a fucking Chansey in the safari zone.

It's fucking stupid, why make it this rare? I've been walking around for a fucking hour and I've seen it like three times. I also shoot it and it runs away making it impossible to catch.

I'm just venting, has anyone else expeirenced this?

i literally restarted cause i thought all the boars disappeared. you need to aim for the neck or above. use a decent bow if you have one. also the reward isnt missable and can be collected for cheap later.

Okay thanks for the info

>also the reward isnt missable and can be collected for cheap later.
The only shrines I seem to be able to get to are in cold places and I think I need the warm clothes the old man gives you if you make him the meal.

Is there another way to progress? I just hit a boar with a fucking flame arrow and it still survived and ran off.

Wow, I finally killed it with the flame arrow (because I have no normal ones left). Instead of giving me boar meat, it gave me COOKED boar meat due to the fact the flame arrow cooked it. Which is apparently different to what I want. I'm also completely out of arrows now and have no idea how to get more.

Fuck this

Why are you so adamant about cooking a meal for the fucking old man?

Because he'll give me the warm clothes so I can go into cold places unharmed.

I'm trying to find all the shrines I can go to. A few are in unreachable places for the moment. The ones I can get to are cold.

Is there any other way to progress? Sick of these boars

Can't you get the same reward by going to the top of a snowy mountain nearby anyway?

Cook up some chili peppers or walk around with a lit torch.

Yes. I have never done what OP is complaining about and have always had the warm clothes.

It's not like you can't get through that area by cooking potions either.

You have a shitload of options available to do stuff in this game. You dont have to cook for the old man, you can get yourself some stuff that works against cold weather and cook it all together without giving too many shits about boar meat.

Okay I'll try this

Test post

You can use any meat, like poultry. Shoot a dove, there you go.

I never even heard of the warm doublet until I was about 100 hours in. At the beginning I just cooked myself up a dish with some meat and hot peppers and that kept me warm enough to get to the shrine.

I just made it there by eating chilli peppers.

Thanks guys, the boar hunting was destroying my soul

Cooking the red butterflies with monster parts is even more effective than spicy food. Elixers became my new friend in master mode after finally giving them a more serious chance. They last for insanely long times if you make them right.

WHY CANT I UPLOAD PICS

Using any sort of meat works though. Just shoot a bird and use a drumstick.

You literally don't have to do this. There's a ton of other ways to get the reward. Just make some cold resistance food with the peppers and climb up there.

NO LIMITS
TEXT ONLY
FINAL DESTINATION

my brother spent an hour finding another set of boars, I spent about 15 minutes. It seems like a design flaw, bokoblins are shooting at the boars and they vanish and then don't come back

>Is there another way to progress?
Yes, plenty.

Cook dishes out of peppers that conveniently grow on entrances to cold biomes
Carry a torch

I never did that and I have 150 hours in the game

Wait, so you're still on the plateau?

OP you retard you need raw meat peppers and fish it can be from a goat fox boar or anything that drops “raw meat”

Furthermore you don’t even have to do this complete the tutorial and itsin a chest at his house. Just eat apples fuck clothes and potions I beat the plateau in my underwear

You can also use bird meat as well.

>Sup Forums complains the game is too easy
>Sup Forums gets stuck in the tutorial zone

WHICH IS IT YOU FRICKS?!

Lmao that shit is optional you autistic brainlett.

I just bruteforced my way up

Nigga gave you the cold resist clothes when you complete the shrine.
