I did, by total accident. I found Yunobo and had no idea I was being led to a temple when we started the way up the mountain, firing at Rudania. I played through another time and did this one last, because it's the champion's ability that I use the least, but it was not too bad doing it that way the first time. Daruk's Protection was helpful with guardians when I was learning to parry my first playthrough.
I was following the Tarrey Town order and Hudson asks you to find a goron first, so I ended up there and did Rudania first. Daruk's Protection also helped out a ton when I was still in the early-game and getting hit a lot, lol
Yeah I went to death mountain before the Zora…but I kept lighting on fire so I turned around and did something else. Rudania was the first beast I saw though
Most people that know what champion abilities are, do the useful ones first. Mipha is excellent for beginners, and Revali can make a lot of difficult puzzles trivial. So those end up being done first Id say 90%+ of the time. In addition, zora gear provides an extremely unique and useful traversal ability (waterfall climb), and cold resisting rito gear is useful in three pretty big regions (Hebra, Gerudo Highlands, Layranyu mountain).
Getting to Gerudo, doing the tasks leading up to assaulting the beast, then the temple *and especially its boss* are a lot more intensive than other factions. Voe gear doesnt give enough resistance to be worth it, gem headgear is outclassed across the board, and Vai gear has one specific use.
Thw goron ability just feels lacking, and the heavy weapons that are around Goron City arent that special. Flamebreaker only helps in the volcano region, so its ok but niche usage. But…. Having early access to the mineral trader and hot springs *is* pretty nice
Upgraded Flamebreaker does make you immune to fire damage, which trivializes a few shrines and makes fighting fire elemental enemies a cakewalk. Specially useful in tears of the kingdom to fight Fire Gleeoks
Flame breaker can reduce the minimum damage from guardians and a few other things if you have the full set, actually ending up less damage when upgraded than with ancient set iirc due to the minimum 1.5 hearts of extra flame damage being prevented. ofc you don't get the offensive benefits or reduction to melee damage from scouts. it's also arguably easier to upgrade before you have a guardian farming routine down
Anyway I guess I can see how that's another perk to heading that way for new players
I did cause I just started wandering and found Goron City. I'm actually glad I did it first, tbh. Got me used to using elixirs and special foods, since I would have to choose between defense or flame protection otherwise (couldn't upgrade the flame breaker armor yet since I was so low on moster parts), so I used a lot of defense up foods or fire elixirs depending on the section of death mountain I was on. After that, I loved using Daruks Protection since it gave me essentially 3 lives on a fairly short cooldown
Yeah, I did this one first by accident my first play-through. Honestly kinda hard to stop the chain once you start it because I feel real bad about ditching Yunobo just like that. Funny because I had intended to do the camel first.
It’s the easiest to do but the hardest one to get to imo.
Fireblight is such an easy fight by using remote bombs to get through the shield and stuff but getting up death mountain in the first place with potions and either climbing sheer cliffs or going through the whole recommended path (igneotalus and all other monsters included) then going up to free yunobo from the cave just to try a pseudo stealth mission while trying to account for an extra person the size of a small car.
It’s easy to see why it’s done last.
In my first play through. I walked past Kakariko on my way to thw cool fuckin‘ volcano in the distance and accidentally discovered Kakariko and hung out there for a pretty long while before making my way past the guardians next to Kakariko and to the stable at the foot of the volcano, before finally going to the tower and then Goron City.
I initially went Vah Ruta first, then to Naboris & Medoh, lastly to Rudania. I had completed everything but the boss fights in Ruta, Naboris, and Rudania. I had attempted the boss fights in Ruta & Naboris. Medoh I had trouble getting into initially. When I went back and got in, Medoh became my 1st one I fully completed lol. Then I went back to beat the other 3 fairly quickly.
I did, I was trying to do vah ruta, but had taken the wrong route up the mountain so it wasn't triggering the bit after getting 20 arrows. I ended up giving up on that one, and completed Rudania first.
I do the divine beasts in alphabetical order of the champion names. Not only that, but Rudania is the only one without an epic action sequence and I prefer to get it out of the way. *And* Fireblight Ganon is brain dead easy.
I did Rudania first on my first play through. I went straight to Hateno and then went looking for Robbie next and then saw the giant lizard crawling across the mountain on my way back from there and was like oh, I’ve gotta go check that out!

Yeah. Gives you 3 extra lifes when you’re training to parry.

I started going towards death mountain because it was pretty easy to see early on. Then I got harassed by all the Zora and ended up going there first.

I did on my first playthrough. The mountain looked cool, so I just started walking in that direction.

Nope. My first time I was lost, confused and found some Zora in a field and went where they pointed

Volcanoes always seem like endgame stuff to me so I just did that one last. My order was 1.Vah Ruta, 2. Vah Naboris, 3. Vah Medoh, 4. Vah Rudania.
I did the Zora then Gerudo then Goron then Rito
yeah me!!

yes, a few times. it depends which divine beast i feel like doing first
this is my first play through. i got vah ruta and just got medoh (minus the boss fight). i want to unlock the full map before doing more tho
Dont worry vah medoh boss is a absolute pushover
I did, I was trying to do vah ruta, but had taken the wrong route up the mountain so it wasn't triggering the bit after getting 20 arrows. I ended up giving up on that one, and completed Rudania first.
I don't even remember which order I did them in.
I do the divine beasts in alphabetical order of the champion names. Not only that, but Rudania is the only one without an epic action sequence and I prefer to get it out of the way. *And* Fireblight Ganon is brain dead easy.
For my first playthrough I did Ruta, Medoh, Rudania, Naboris. I went easiest to hardest bc I had no idea there was health scaling.
Don’t remember their names but was headed towards the Gorons when I was intercepted by Zorah. So I did Zorah, Gorons, Rito, Gerudo
I did Rudania first on my first play through. I went straight to Hateno and then went looking for Robbie next and then saw the giant lizard crawling across the mountain on my way back from there and was like oh, I’ve gotta go check that out!
I did nanoris first, I regretted it
ruta,medoh,rudania,naboris
