SS: Trick Research & Discovery

[TheOthin]

This wasn't on Hero Mode file, it was just on a regular file. From what I recall from my first "normal file" playthrough, it is a forced message. The batteries were low, the battery symbol was in the corner. My memory may be wrong, but I remember it being a forced message.

That sounds worth verifying.

One other issue I noticed was that on Hero Mode, I lost health ridiculously fast in the heated area; even entering with seven hearts, I had lost half of that by the time I reached the trigger. So going through the heated area beyond that could be a real issue for Hero Mode runs.

When can you get the protection potion ?

Someone said it immunizes you from heat if you upgrade it, so that wouldn't be a big deal.

(I remarked the same shit for swimming though.. I lost my 18 hearts before I could go up to the surface when I was doing the notes thing, that's ridiculously fast)

in TheOnlyOne's run the fi message you guys are talking about doesn't come up, so chances are it's not a forced message. i doubt this low batteries trick actually works.

The guardian potion is available from the very beginning of the game, the only ones that aren't are stamina and air potions.

It is, but the 200 Rupee cost could be an issue. Even more so if upgrading it is necessary; is that even possible by the first time you first reach Eldin? (Unless you transfer bugs from an earlier file, which I assume isn't in the question at the moment.)
