♦ Rules ♦


1. Stay Civil

This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.


2. Mark Spoilers

It is okay to post about "related games" (such as Age of Calamity and Breath of the Wild) but please use the spoiler "censor" and do not put spoilers directly into the title, as the censor doesn't work this way. Posts about other Zelda games might be suited better in general Zelda communities, like the ones listed at the bottom of the sidebar.


3. Offtopic Posts

Anything not related to BotW, like politics, religion, non-Zelda games etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.


4. No Advertisements

It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.


5. Provide Sources

If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)


6. Suggestions are Welcome!

Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)

It only started raining when I arrived at the tower and it's been going on for what seems like forever. Pretty sure the game does this on purpose...

Ended up building a roof and that worked. Was that the point of the tower? Does the rain actually last forever?

It was intended to make you build the roof so you could start the fire in front of the door.

Yeah that's the "puzzle" for this tower I think. At least that's what I had to do

I found a nearby campfire under a roof and just slept until it stopped raining. Didn’t even think to build a roof over the thorns.

I'm surprised it stopped raining. Even the locks say it rains non-stop

Yea I thought the rain was part of the “puzzle” but figured I’d give a couple rounds of waiting at the campfire a go and it worked.

My husband did this too. I had built the roof, so I was surprised as hell when just waiting actually worked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is what I did, and I only did that cause I messed up my long roof that I was building so just sat at the campfire till noon and it was sunny.

Most likely. That's the solution I also had to use because it just wouldn't stop raining - and there have been areas with deliberate perma-rain in BotW as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if they reused that setup in the sequel.

Makes sense that the rain is the puzzle, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me since the rain started after I had already burned away a few thorns.

All these comments saying you're supposed to build a roof but I just waited and the rain eventually stopped.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I think there’s a sign near by that says to build a shelter if you want a fire in the rain but the devs might’ve added something for patient players too. 😊

I was able to take out a flame emitter, turn it on, and use ultrahand to focus it for long enough that it burned out anyway.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what I had to do to open this one.
