i've been reading around and AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO DIDN'T CHEESE EVENTIDE ISLAND?
i killed the hinox (mipha's grace did get triggered, and i forgot i had urbosa's fury so i didn't use it), cleared the camps i needed for the other two orbs and it thankfully only took me one try
but i've not seen anyone who legitimately took on the hinox, and i've seen tons of people drop items right before the challenge starts and then pick them up once they're stripped naked.
what the forget
