How Do You Make the Master Sword Do More Damage?
In the popular game, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Master Sword is a legendary weapon known for its strength and ability to seal evil. However, its default damage output of 30 can be underwhelming, especially for advanced players. Fortunately, there are ways to increase the Master Sword’s damage, making it an even more formidable weapon in your arsenal.
Increasing the Master Sword’s Damage
Here are the methods to make the Master Sword do more damage:
• Fuse Monster Parts with High Fuse Power: You can fuse monster parts with high fuse power to the Master Sword, which can increase its damage output. The types of parts you can use include Horn, Horn Tip, Tooth, Fang, and Arm.
Note: Not all parts increase the sword’s damage; some only add additional effects, such as the ability to repel certain types of enemies.
Completing the Trial of the Sword DLC
Trials of the Sword, a downloadable content (DLC) pack for the game, allows you to increase the Master Sword’s damage even further. Completing all three trials rewards you with the Power of the Goddess effect, which boosts the sword’s damage output.
Trial 1: Defeat a set of enemies while in a certain location to progress to the next trial.
Trial 2: Complete a specific mini-game to move on to the final trial.
Trial 3: Face a challenging boss battle to claim the reward.
Permanent Boost
Upon completing the trial, you’ll receive the Master Sword of Twilight, a variant of the Master Sword with increased damage output.
| Trial Stage | Reward |
|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Master Sword of Flame |
| Stage 2 | Master Sword of Gale |
| Final Stage | Master Sword of Twilight |
Permanent Effect
Once you’ve claimed the Master Sword of Twilight, the Power of the Goddess effect becomes a permanent part of the sword. This means the Master Sword will maintain its increased damage output until the game’s completion or the effect wears off (if it’s removed via other means).
Limitations and Consequences
Important Notes:
• The increased damage output is not the only change made by completing the trials. The sword’s special properties, such as the ability to repel certain enemies, may change or become less effective.
• Removing the Power of the Goddess effect (by obtaining the regular Master Sword, for instance) may restore the sword’s original damage output.
In-Game Strategies for Maximizing the Master Sword’s Damage
Here are some tips for getting the most out of the Master Sword’s damage:
- Staying Close to the Enemy: Keep your distance to maximize the Master Sword’s effectiveness. Use your surroundings and the sword’s reach to your advantage.
- Timing: Time your attacks carefully, using the Master Sword’s power to break enemy defenses.
- Combos: Chain multiple attacks together for increased damage output and more effective fighting.
In conclusion, making the Master Sword do more damage requires some effort, but the results are well worth it. With the Power of the Goddess effect and other strategies in mind, you’ll be well-equipped to take on the challenges the game throws your way.
