The Beetle

(obviously topic has spoilers)

The Beetle is the first dungeon inventory item you get and (depending on when you get the bug net) the 2nd or 3rd inventory item in the game.

I found it to be a very slow mechanised Boomerang that became a lot more useful from Hook Beetle upwards. Like Boomerangs they aren't really that useful in offense, but puzzle wise they're ait. Got a little annoying when using it in Sky Keep's Fire Sanctuary room tho.

Also, why would such technology if it has Ancient Robot development (as suggested in first Lanayru Desert encounter with such a Robot) be found in the Skyview Temple of all places? XD

Also I have upgraded the Beetle to Tough Beetle (final upgrade) but I don't notice its difference to Quick that much

OMG It is fast when it carries nothing also, Tough Beetle is a waste of rupees upgrade since I don't find anything upgraded

Beetle + Stalfos = Dead = Lanayru Desert? I don't know.

Never bothered getting the upgrade. I think it was Hornet Larva that I was always missing.

And it stunned enemies like the boomerang so I can see this as its replacement.

Yeah, I never bothered to upgrade the Beetle, either. But I suppose I could, for fun stuff. I didn't find much use for it except in the Lanayru Desert.

Doesn't explain why the Beetle ended up in Skyview lol

Hornet Larvae is easy to find, the first tree in Deep Woods, roll into it, catch the hornets before they sting you to death XD

I prefer stunning with my Scattershot personally, I thought mainly bc it could hit VERY FAR AWAY targets it was Boomerang's spiritual 'successor'/predecessor (SS occurs before other games right)

Trust me get at least Quick upgrade, it's a time saver
