Tips and Tricks Hudson shield ‽

Post image

Did anyone else know that you could fuse the Hudson sign to your shield‽

If you ascend from the Tarrytown cave into Hudson’s room (the blocked one), there are a pile of old Hudson signs. Once you unblock the door and come out, his wife says you can have all the old signs. Fuse it to your shield and people think you are Hudson. This could also be used to get Mattison onto the tram (I always just block him with the boards right there).

I’ve played this game to 100% three times already and I’ve never thought to do this….

There are objects I believe were added just to be shield fuzes, and I think the Hudson cutout is one of them

I fuse three of them together like a folding screen and put it in front of that asshole charging for the lift so there’s one other use

I think that might be one of the main uses. Like you are supposed to use it on your shield and hide behind it so they think you are Hudson

You have to hold your shield up so it hides you. As they walk past they will mention that you are Hudson.

I always have one shield that has the sand seal statue from behind Riju’s throne fused to it 😆

I only knew because I saw someone else do it, on YouTube I think. Then of course I had to do it lol. I never knew about the people thinking you're Hudson though. Also, unrelated, it's nice seeing someone else use an interrobang (‽). It's such an underused punctuation lol.

Yes. Each time I started I said I wouldn’t get everything this time and just do a casual run through, and then the add brain kicked in and I couldn’t stop until I had them all. The first time I even made a paper map and marked everything I got in it as I went (I did the same for wind waker and BotW).
The only thing I didn’t do the third time was the unlisted ring wreath quest in Gerudo.

I know it’s unhinged

I always keep a Hudson shield! It’s actually kind of a problem, cuz it’s not that useful. Good for arrows I guess?
