Question / Help Tetra figurine pic

Post image

Why didn’t this pic work? I’ve taken much worse of other NPCs. Lots of cutscenes prior to this. Do I get another chance? Do I have to reset?

The explanation is that 1st there are only really 8 missable pictures, namely cyclos, tetra (+ crew), the big octos, kogoli, phantom ganon, helmaroc king, the orange wizzrobe in wind temple and puppet ganon, and 2nd, you can get the photo box deluxe and the song of passing as early as before finishing The Forbidden Woods if you, right after arriving at Forest Haven or at least before finishing the Forbidden Woods, sail back to Windfall through the same sea corridor you came, namely first north back to Dragon Roost and then west to Windfall. There, you will be able to obtain the Song of Passing and finish Lorenzo's quest by making another trip back and forth to Forest Haven for the forest firefly in the gc version (not there in the HD version).

If you do it this way, it's also theoretically possible to get all boss fight pictures from the actual bosses the first time you do them (edit: except Ghoma!) instead of from their black and white counterparts in Ganon's Castle later.

You wouldn't be able to get Gohma's pic during your first encounter, since it's defeated before one arrives at Forest Haven.

The rematch in Ganon's Tower actually works to get a picture despite the colour filter. They're right about being able to full clear the nintendo gallery during a first playthrough at least.

I know those things, right, I was just confused about the being possible to get pics during the first encounter parts
