Re: What video games moments have frustrated you the most?

Wait until you need to do missions that require lighting fires lol. Also because climbing is so essential in the game the rain SUCKS so much. There were definitely a few times I had to just sit there in the middle of a mountain waiting for rain to stop. It made me wish Breath of the wild had a time forwarding device outside of the fires because it's really fucking boring to just sit there while it rains.

Though re: cooking, if you haven't gotten to some of the major villages yet it's easier to cook once you do (there's also a non village place where it never rains) and then just warp from place to place if one of the villages is raining.

It's also easy to cook at stables. There's pretty much always going to be a shrine near a stable so you can fast travel between them as well. The only issue with them is their cooking pots are always 'outside' so if it rains they're not lit. You could at least sleep at the stable and the rain will probably have passed by whenever you tell it to wake you up).

Anon up there, I don't know if I'd go out of my way to buy flint. I'd pick up a hammer lying around (there's almost always one somewhere in a village or at a stable. The house where Bolson hangs out in Hateno village has two iirc) and just start whacking any ore I come across. You're almost guaranteed to start picking up flint pretty quickly (and then you can use the hammer to start your fire...).

I also make a point of walking around stables and picking up all the wood bundles and fruit lying around whether I need it or not, hahah.

Thanks for the hammer tip!

I make my own wood bundles because it's super easy. You just chop down a tree and then hit it after it's down.

I've slept at the stables several times now and the rain has always passed when I wake, but the fire isn't lit again. There is even a stable employee standing there who tells me I need to cook my own food on the fire we're standing next to, so it seems like a bug. I have to leave the area and come back before the fire is lit and usually it starts raining again just as I walk up to the fire. It's infuriating and ruining the game for me,

I hate putting the wear and tear on my weapons just to whack down some trees so I try to avoid it. When I was doing the Tarrey Town sidequest I made prodigious use of bombs to blow up trees and get the wood actually. :)

But wow...that sounds like a ridiculous amount of rain. I don't think it's been quite that bad for me. Or maybe we're frequenting different areas? I will say I noticed a couple of areas seemed to lighten up on the weather after I accomplished something there (like one of the towers was surrounded by a storm almost perpetually until I managed to finally climb it and activate it and then it seems like the weather has been more reasonable since then).

I'd recommend warping to Kakariko if you've gotten there yet. It shouldn't be raining all the time and it contains a cooking sidequest so the fire should be lit.

I actually wouldn't bother sleeping but warping place to place usually worked for me.

Also this may be something you don't find until later in the game, but there is the Gorae Torr shrine where it never rains. It's basically a shrine on top of a pillar where it never rains (because there is an accompanying climbing game) and it has a cooking pot. The thing is you need to beat the mini game to access the shrine, so at least one piece of climbing gear and some stamina increasing food is recommended if you're early in your upgrades.
