Ah, yeah that made me google how to kill guardians and I see you can just parry their laser back. Good to know, will test it out and get the timing down next time I play. I tried the ancient arrow method but I couldn't hit the eye on the moving ones and it didn't do much damage just hitting the body. Worst is when you're on a horse trying to swerve dodge the beams as you run past and you get hit and your horse sets on fire >< Had that happen last night on one on the way to Gorgon Village (which I got to btw, so now have access to all the towns).
Speaking of towns, when I stumbled across the little seaside fishing village it seemed kinda of uneventful? Like it seems the only village with no plot relevance? Mostly just there to tell you about eveningtide island I guess? I got out there the first time just raising ice blocks one after to another to cross the ocean. I do wish the Zora gear let you swim infinitely without using stamina. Maybe max level set bonus will do that? I mean it really doesn't make sense that it doesn't...
Also I didn't notice the equipment status 2 bars thing until the other night. So you don't need to buy 3 pieces of cold/heat/flame resistance gear, 2 gives full protection. Would've been good to know earlier since I mainly just relied on food recipes wondering why my starting warm doublet wasn't giving me 100% cold protection when climbing snow mountains.
Also what's with the great fairies all just doing the same armor upgrade stuff? So boring. Each fairy should have a unique thing. I was expecting the 2nd fairy to be weapon upgrade fairy, use materials to upgrade weapons in strength and durability, but nope. Although I ran into some NPC who said one of the fairies can bring back dead/lost horses? Since my first horse disappeared maybe I can get it back from that.
