HOL

One of my favorite past times is watching videos on YouTube that are basically "Things You Didn't Know About [insert game]" while playing that game.

Learned from one of those videos that in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that throwing a dazzlefruit will insta-kill stal monsters (minus the Stalnox). It'll make them drop their loot without you needing to waste durability of your weapons on them. Also while playing I realized (minor spoiler) that the Shrines of Light on the surface are directly above where you'll find a Lightroot in the Depths.

Last night I was also playing Super Mario World with my older brother and he was showing my and our youngest brother all the secrets in the levels to skip entire worlds or levels and where to find a place to get lives quickly. It was very interesting.

Have you learned or discovered a tip, trick, or secret in a video game that you'd like to share? Please be mindful about major story line spoilers if a game is relatively new! Basically, if it came out in the last five years, use the spoiler tag. Anything six years or older should be fair game but go by your own discretion for that.

Always check behind a waterfall! Especially if you're playing an open-world game. It usually held secrets, like some additional money, gear, or some other secret.

Lately, at least with AAA games, I find that they're playing into the tip and waterfalls now hold funny easter eggs or you can get an achievement if you do not.

Regardless if you get something out of it or not, always check behind a waterfall!
