Breath of the Wild Can't initiate amiibo rune

[Frippledip]

Hey there, I started using amiibos when I was pretty far into the game, but now my husband is wanting to use them for his game. The problem we are having is that when we try to turn on the option to use it it just says "don't use amiibo". It says it's too early in the game to use it but we've already acquired 2 tunes. Any ideas why we can't use them yet?

I don't think you can use the amiibo rune until after you are able to leave the Plateau. Have him try again after he gets the paraglider.

I'll try again but I also tried on my son's game, he had the paraglider but it still didn't work...maybe you have to be off the plateau first?

I figured it out...I just had to click on it. Durrrrr...

I know you can scan in amiibo while on the Plateau, but that's in the case that you return later. You may be required to leave the first time; I'm not sure. But also, make sure there's enough room for the chest(s) to spawn. There should be an x indicator if there's not enough space. That was my issue when I first tried the amiibo rune.

In order to activate the amiibo rune, you must complete the first shrine Oman Au. After completing it, save the game and you can now activate the rune. The game need you to activate the rune section of the slate.
