I'm in dire straits here, folks!
I caught the Hyrule Warriors fever a couple weeks back, so I've been playing it a ton lately (I originally bought it near launch, played for maybe 7 - 8 hours, then shelved it).
But Adventure Mode is giving me fits
Locking so much content behind A rankings is beyond frustrating, and it culminated for me last night as I was trying to unlock Ganondorf's trident.
My Ganondorf is level 38. The recommended level for the stage is freaking
1. I have all the moves unlocked for his dual swords, I'm very familiar with the game mechanics, yet not only can I not get an A rank,
I can't beat the damn stage at all.
The stage starts by giving you three enemy commanders to defeat, all of whom are shielded moblins with ungodly amounts of health. Despite being (supposedly) overleveled, the moblins take forever to defeat. And each time I'm fighting them, the allied base inevitably falls.
Last time I tried, I just babysat the allied base. While I was obviously able to keep it protected with that strategy, I eventually had to leave it to go attack the moblins, and then it fell yet again. But if I just wait for the moblins to come to me, I won't be able to beat the stage in the 15-minute allotment for A rank.
With so many hundreds of stages and objectives, doing the exact same level six times and repeatedly failing has really taken the wind out of my sails. What's the point in continuing if there are already these ridiculous difficulty spikes in the very first adventure map? I'm sure it gets so much more difficult down the line. Yet I feel like I'm doing everything right (having all moves unlocked, knowing the A rank requirements, being overleveled, waiting to attack the moblins until they're vulnerable, etc.)
I'm hoping there's something I'm overlooking here because I really want to keep going, but I'm not going to waste my limited free time failing over and over again in a futile attempt to unlock the trident. Obviously I could play other stages instead, but this one is hanging over me like a dark cloud. If I'm already unable to beat this level, I'll just end up hitting another wall on some other map square.
Any pro strats you guys and gals may have would be very appreciated!
