Summary
AZelda: Breath of the Wildplayer has found a glitch to keep the game’s most powerful weapon. The game’s durability system has been a source of controversy and frustration among gamers, especially concerning the aptly named One-Hit Obliterator fromThe Champions' BalladDLC. Now fans ofBreath of the Wildcan bypass the restriction to wreak havoc across Hyrule without losing their precious Obliterator.
Breath of the Wildintroduced many new mechanics to theZeldaseries, but its breakable weapons are some of the most memorable. The One-Hit Obliterator is one of the few weapons that doesn’t break andone ofBreath of the Wild’s best, but Link can no longer use it after completing the four shrines inThe Champions' Ballad’s main quest. That is unless players take advantage of a newfound glitch.
In a YouTube video uploaded on October 25, Gaming Reinvented reveals how to make the Obliterator appear in gamers' inventory even when they aren’t taking on the DLC shrines. It’s not quite as easy asgetting the Lord of the Mountainor finding the Hylian Shield, though. Players need to complete most of the DLC, finish a few lengthy side quests, and get their inventory count below zero. However, all the trouble will be worth it because gamers end up with the game’s strongest weapon to use as freely as they wish.
Obliterator Glitch in Breath of the Wild
The Obliterator that the glitch provides is far weaker than the one players normally use in the DLC — it deals just one damage. After making some ofthe best recipes inBreath of the Wildand taking advantage of a few more glitches, though, they can get it to deal a whopping 200 damage. That’s not the one-hit-kill weapon it’s meant to be, but there’s nothing stronger in the rest of Hyrule.
While there aremany games with weapon deterioration mechanics,Breath of the Wild’s is arguably one of the most contentious. On one hand, it adds a layer of strategy, requiring players to think of creative ways to approach combat in order to conserve resources. On the other hand, it can feel like some weapons break a little too easily, and constantly worrying about losing an item with good stats can be a downer if gamers prefer a more aggressive play style.
Gaming Reinvented’s Ultra Obliterator glitch answers that dilemma in style. Not only do players get to keep an unbreakable weapon, but it’s absurdly overpowered. It’s likely the exact kind of thing Nintendo wanted to prevent through the durability system, but it’s fun regardless.
