This is not how minesweeper works. This is totally different. Minesweeper tells you how many bombs are adjacent to the block you just opened. Through deductive reasoning you can avoid the mines. This game is purely luck due to not having this information.
A small tip for protecting against those bad luck streaks. The new implementation of auto-save works when going in/out of the entrance. Any time I earn any sizeable reward, I would exit and enter. If I lost enough money over the next couple of rounds, I'd restart the game and resume from the last auto-save. Only about 20-30 seconds to guarantee recovering up to 140 rupees and be less frustrated.
Honestly, so far, skyward sword hd has been vomiting rupees at me since the start, so luckily I have not needed to farm yet, but I'll keep this game in mind :)

Hey Austin John, love the content, this video helped a lot, only i have so much bad luck, when i win 200 rupees, i then lose 3 times , so my way of doing it ... when you walk in the cave it creates a auto-save, so after each win i walk out and back in to create a new auto-save and then when i lose i restart the game and that way i dont ever lose any rupees keep up the good work!

Not a bad method, dude
I'll do you one better, I emptied the flying shop (except for the most expensive item which is not obtainable without wallet upgrades from Mr. Demon) before heading to Eldin for the first time. All you need to do is: 1. Button controls. 2. Exploit the heck out of the bamboo cutting game. You might need a few tries to git gud but I could consistently score above 40 with some practice, which is like 12 more than you need. Also, it's really quick, like 2 minutes a round, talking included. 3. Sell the blue bird feathers, golden skulls and goddess thingies in the merchants house at night for 100 a piece. If he doesn't offer to buy what you want to sell, reset the selection by sleeping in his bed until the next night (trust me, if you get the same selection the following night you are merely unlucky, so reset again. There are three presets, one each for the rare items you'll want to sell and one without any of them).

Hey Austin I know it’s literally 5 months after you’ve made this but this made me a lot more poor because I’m actually trash at the guessing games but I like seeing you try to help your viewers👍
In the Thrill Digger room, there are also rupee ore deposits on the walls that you can shoot with your slingshot! (Watch out for the rupoor though!) I don't know if they respawn, but it's worth it the first time you go in! Also: SIT ON EVERY STOOL/STUMP YOU FIND! It refills your health and also triggers many conversations that you can't see otherwise! Try it at the bazaar, in the tents in eldin, in the sealed temple (don't forget the bottle of revitalizing potion in the treasure chest the first time you meet the old woman!), and all over the knights academy! May the Way of the Hero Lead to the Triforce.
Hay man love the content!
I didn't go through all the comments to see if anyone mentioned this but, I've been taking advantage of the autosave feature on the HD version and exiting the room every time I win a pretty decent amount and re-entering to play again. If I bomb right away or score low, I reload the autosave. I've noticed that the game seems to autosave when entering a new room or area.

“Reload the auto save”....you mean close the entire game, reboot, reload. I wish there was a quit load save option during gameplay.
Love your videos been using them for my play through. I have to say using the bamboo cutting mini-game to farm materials to sell for rupees is a far superior way to farm rupees and less rng. Keep up great videos!
Man this seems so good. I haven’t gotten the game yet but I love watching your guide videos

I found that the bamboo slicing minigame gives even more rupees for even less effort. If youre in handheld its EXTREMELY easy and i managed to hit 44 hits with the goddess sword. You almost Always get a goddess plume every time you hit 28 and they sell for 100 at the peddlers at Night and at a Cost of 10 per try you get 90 back. I made 700 in just like 20 minutes.

"Fast" but still requires luck. Getting blue feathers and rhino beetles outside the sealed grounds is faster, because it's more consistent (because you can reset by going through the door and back). It's basically a minimum of 120 rupees per minute with no upfront cost. More if multiple blue birds/beetles spawn.

There’s a faster easier and earlier way… day 1 go to the bamboo cutting island and just grind that out then sell the golden skulls and monster horns for 100 and 30 rupees each… The easiest ways to get a high score is to NOT use motion controls but use the stick. Flick the stick back and forth rythmicly but not too fast or you will do spin attacks that will break your flow. My current high score is 43 you can prob get higher then me :)

I kinda like both methods, but they also seem to be rather luck based. Frankly, I just go with the BUG method. Selling bugs to Stritch in his bedroom at night is pretty consistent. You can usually find Sky Stag Beetles at the very beginning of the game, no bug net required. Just run into the wall outside the Academy and knock 'em down. And you usually find one or two on the windmill tower outside the Bazaar where the four pots spawn. I made a circular course of starting at the Academy, then running to the tower, going inside a nearby house to reset the loop, going back out, then hitting the tower and finally back to the Academy. I got 20 bugs in about 20 minutes. Each one sells to Stritch for 20 rupees a piece. You can max out your wallet easily there in Skyloft without having to search out rare bugs or even spend money making money.
The guide helped me get all the ruppies and got a blue feather for it
Rewatching because after my first go with the handy tool you shared, I’m reminded why I never gamble when I’m in Vegas and wondering if I should just hope for blind luck?? tbh I could play this minigame all day 🤓
Before eldin, I did the bamboo game with the thumbstick to farm plumes, golden skulls, and blue feathers from the guy. Then go to the shop clerk's house at night and he'll buy them for 100 rupees each. Once you get to like 23 swings, do spin attacks to get yourself above 28

Hey Austin! I’m following along with your guide and I feel like this method is good but not 100% foolproof. I Sheba method in which you are guaranteed to get a ton of rupees. If u go to a bamboo house slightly north of the eldin clouds you will find a man named peater and basically you can cut bamboo and get rare items from him and then sell them for lots of money
Austin da goat
You can also go behind the game and talk to the dog looking guy in the ground if you dig
or you could just keep on cutting pumpkins and going isnide so that they regenerate again and then do it all over again

Thrill digger is not minesweeper. It's the same concept but in minesweeper there is little chance involved. You can tell if you're gonna get a bomb or not. Here in thrill seeker, there isn't a set in stone set of rules so you can get blown up even if playing mathematically correct.
There's a toonnn of bugs at the bird statue near the sealed grounds and it's significantly faster and way more reliable than this method Edit: sealed grounds not sky view temple

IF you need to farm rupees early just save up to get the net then go to the sealed grounds and capture blue bird then go inside and back out and capture again. Repeat as many times you want then go back to skyloft then sleep to night and find the shopkeepers house and sell the feathers if he doesn't offer to buy them just sleep to night in his house and try again. :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/d42Kq7KPiZvan9I.html thats the link to the wii version should work on switch.
