How do you get the 4th star? I only have 3 stars and the 4th dfairy fountain won't let me upgrade it any further.

 

I must say, that for the first 3 ingredients, I either already had the ingredients, or they were pretty easy to get. For the fourth though, it feels awfully grindy... Suddenly I have to have 15 of some flower... PER item, so that's 45 of them. besides some fruits and monster parts, I've never had that many of an ingredient. And the tracker of the sheikah tablet thing is only that good. (And hunting for Hightail lizards sucks lizardballs)

 

Take a picture of one with the camera and set the sheika slate to search for it.

 

I don't even have 1 start fragment. I saw one beam of light, and when I got there, it was gone..?

 

You'll end up completing all of the shrines and most if not all of the side quests before maxing out every single armor in the game. Some of the best armor in the game requires you to grind for horns and scales of a specific monster multiple times and these particular types of monsters will vanish every time you hit them making the grind extremely tedious. There's also the star fragments... geezus Nintendo why?

Not that it matters. Some of the armor provides a decent set bonus but you'll never really feel as though you need to max out your armor as you can finish the game regardless. I only wish the armor changed shape after maxing them out or provide a better set bonus but they don't.

 

i actually beat the game with just 3 upgrades on Hylian set and that's it. Once you get used to the attack patterns of enemies and at least master the perfect dodge/back-flip you'll be fine even without any upgrades..now im starting a new game coz i enjoyed it a lot.

 

I only have a couple pieces of armor upgraded to 4 stars.
I didn't get the last great fairy until after beating ganon, and I need a lot of star fragments, rare items from dragons and such to upgrade most of my gear. But it's not really that important, I just wish I could upgrade my Barbarian Armor to 4 star as it's my favorite armor in the game but the defense is kind of lacking with only 3 stars. Fuck hunting down those dragons though, any time I see them they're out of firing range and they're even faster than the paraglider so chasing after them is useless.

 

There are a ton of YouTube videos with clear instructions on how to farm, rupees, star fragments, dragon parts, and so on, one of my main goals is to collect and upgrade all the armor so there were very helpful, I'll probably put in a good 500+ hours before even thinking about finishing Ganon.

 

That whole cutscene is a bit... rapey, to be honest. Those great fairies get increasingly more creepy the further you upgrade your armor.
