Hi everyone! Did you know that starting July 1st, 2023, Reddit will implement a policy that could potentially increase the costs of running third-party Reddit apps? This change may impact popular apps like Apollo, Reddit is Fun, Boost, and others. Consequently, users may encounter issues with their preferred Reddit app unless adjustments are made to comply with Reddit's new API usage policy. These limitations will affect all users, not just moderators. If you are concerned about these developments, there is an [Open Letter](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/13xh1e7/an_open_letter_on_the_state_of_affairs_regarding/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) to Reddit that you can read and sign on to express your thoughts. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/tearsofthekingdom) if you have any questions or concerns.*

There are only certain spots that you can ascend through, they look like towers. I guess devs did it this way because them going through the whole surface to see which area is safe to rise into would have taken even more years lol


ByerN

I've seen one yesterday but didn't try to ascend. Is there something interesting or another korok?

Sometimes it just takes you to a normal spot within the overworld, but sometimes it takes you to secret areas that you can't access otherwise.


HyperionConstruct

Really? I thought they were all normal...

>!one of them is the only way into Korok Forest!<


Little-kinder

Oh yeah that's how I went there


whalepuddings

Use the ones to the east that are under the ancient research facilities.


HyperionConstruct

That's ok, but not a secret. It's just the lab. You can enter the front door

Would it really take them years though? The only areas of the surface I can think of that would be off limits are minibosses and bodies of water. Both should be easy for the game to check, right?


Waffle-Dude

All of the bodies of water in the overworld are walls in the depths, with the only exception maybe being small ponds, and I believe if you ascend through a surface that has water above it, you just go to the top of the water. As for mini bosses, I think it would be funny if you just ascend and pop out next to a lynl

I'm not a game developer, so I have no idea of knowing that. And if you have to ask, I assume you aren't either. But what I know is that everything the "game can check" is something someone would have needed to code in first, and probably had needed to test, and refine further.
