Ceebees posted:A certain enemy makes that sound as a warning, because they can gently caress you up in a hurry. There's a rare audio bug with their sound persisting after you kill them or leave their zone. Until the dev finally tracks it down, restarting is the correct way to get rid of it. Ahhh, I see. That must have been it. It was driving me crazy after awhile.

I'll be honest that was the only boss I beat on my first try. The shield dash trivializes it.

They just made some patches that made it a lot more accessible and less difficult, so it's a good time for you to get in on it if you've been worried about intimidating difficulty.

Yeah I did not have the shield dash at that point  I actually considered going back to town to buy it but I didn't want to redo the entire section. Ultimately I'm glad I didn't because it was really cool figuring out how to beat the guy without it.

Meiteron posted:Game finished in around 7 hours. It would have been sooner but I spent about 30 minutes on the last boss because I was being really stupid and not baiting out one of the attacks that swept the room. Everybody with an interest in the plot needs to read the decoded monolith text. Going to post it out here, too: 1. TRANSCENDENCE FAITH IMMORTALITY 2. RIFTS CRAFTED, DANGEROUS POTENTIAL 3. A FOUNDATION FOR FAITH & VIOLENCE 4. A LOSS OF SELF, A NARROW PATH TRAVELED 5. OVERWHELMING WONDERS AND POWER 6. DESPERATE HUNGER FOR PROGRESS 7. DISTORTION OF LIFE, DEVOURING BODY 8. THE FIRST VICTIM OF THE INVASION 9. AN ISOLATED PEOPLE FEARFUL & OBSESSED 10. OFFERING OF A GREAT CLEANSING FLAME 11. A POISONED, MADDENED BONELAND 12. FRAGILE BALANCE SCORCHED, UNDONE 13. PRECIOUS MOMENTS CAPTURED BY CRYSTAL 14. A STILLNESS OF MIND, SKILL HONED SHARP 15. MIDNIGHT LOOMING 16. TRAPPED BY DESPERATION TO REMAIN Numbered just to keep track of them, there's obviously no way to determine a chronological order. Also, some of these are apropos of the zone they're found in, such as 13 & 14 being located in the west area full of crystals and samurai. Now, the final text that appears in the library once you've activated all monuments: HARNESSING A GREAT WELLSPRING, A PERFECT IMMORTAL CELL WAS CRAFTED TO BE IMBUED WITHIN ALL SENTIENT LIFE A NOBLE GOAL, THOUGH SUCH A POWER TERRIFIED OTHERS, AND BROUGHT RUIN AS ITS PURPOSE WAS TRANSMOGRIFIED THE ABHORRENT CELL STILL FESTERS DEEP IN THE CHAMBERS OF THIS WORLD Less vague, puts the individual monument texts into clearer context, and more or less explains what Judgement is. Would be cool if we could get a link to this and the costume effects guide in the OP. There's a couple of story analyses on Reddit and they're terrible- for example, thinking that Anubis is the literal Egyptian god Anubis, despite the game having no explicit real-world connection whatsoever; bizarrely claiming that the north titan died of exposure and the east one drowned, despite severe battle damage on both and the north one's fist being found punched into the mountain, clearly mid-fight; and so on. One of the would-be VaatiVidyas has written several pages of rambling, frequently misspelled gobbledegook which, given how little definitive information this game actually contains, basically amounts to his own lovely fanfiction.  I strongly encourage everyone to just play the game, read these deciphered texts, and come to their own conclusions instead.

Because if you honestly need the extra room for more health kits, you're alraedy doing well enough you will not need them. I've had legitimate glitch induced deaths respawning me with no healthkits but still forcing me to go through an enemy gauntlet all over again, so while I understand no FREE refills I'd have loved to have a buffer.

Fully vulnerable dodges took some time to get used to but there wasn't anything inherently wrong with it. (Well apart from the weird conditions for activating the projectile shield, but that's a separate issue.) On the other hand, it's trivial to visit the North zone between expeditions and fill up on easily-accessed medkits, and they respawn each time you switch zones. It's just tedious.

I've had terrible luck with it playing the post gauntlet victory scene while a single ranged enemy is still alive.

"Well at least I beat the room so I won't have to do that all over again with no healthkits and-gently caress." Most of the times it happened I was able to avoid it because the enemy was all the way across the room, but those times where I haven't been able to, ow.

They should have left the medkit change alone, it was a quality of life change that had basically zero relationship to skillfulness. e: To be clear, the change was that interacting with a warp pad refilled your kits; nothing to do with respawning.

I haven't been keeping up but that's a great change. Do any purchasable upgrades actually unlock access to more things (are there any grenade only doors?) and also if anyone is having trouble finding secret areas just look for dots on the ground. They are super easy to find. I've only gotten to the north dungeon and the east waypoint/crossroad and Ive gotten $7 and am sure I have missed 0 secrets. The only one I've found I can't get in the north there a space I drop to with a moving bridge I have to active, turn a switch, then dash back onto the bridge. This is hard, but I think it unlocks the thing I shoot nearby? I am having mechanical issues with this one moreso than finding it issues.

The multi-dash is required to get some secrets. I think an upgraded gun is needed to hit the large switches across gaps to open some secrets too. There's one large switch per zone I think.

No. AFAIK upgraded or not-upgraded makes no difference. I haven't tested this on every switch in the game of course, but I've never had a switch not activate when shot. Also, I'm not sure that you actually need the rifle. I've activated at least one pillar switch with the pistol. Sword slashes and even random enemy fire will also work on pillar switches that are repeatably activatable. The rifle is obviously the easiest to aim with though, and has perfect accuracy. All gun upgrades do is increase your max ammo count. This is more useful than it seems because ammo recharge via sword use seems to be percentile rather than flat-rate, so you get more ammo back per slash the higher your max total is, but these upgrades are still pretty low-priority compared to other, more strategy-altering abilities.

This game rules, but it also kind of annoys the poo poo out of me? It feels so good, it looks so good, the stuff they've done with making 3D illusion space work in 2D is incredible. But sometimes it feels made up 75% of minor frustrations; switch hunts, hidden paths to required stuff, frame-perfect inputs, four-greebles-makes-a-grobble type collectathons. The combat is so tight and I wish they'd done even more with it because when it really kicks into gear (bird wizard lord!!) it's unspeakably good, but so much of it is just guys throwing projectiles or themselves in a straight line at you that you can use the same strategy all the time. It's also really cool that you can't afford all the upgrades and some of them overlap in function so you kind of have to make a build. It reminds me of like Beyond Oasis or El Shaddai in that you skim along the surface of a beautiful game world that isn't quite ready for all the cool stuff you can do in it. Still! Huge achievement, great work

Can someone tell me how to get to this upgrade box. It's driving me nuts. I figured out how to get into the building but there doesn't seem to be a path that goes down. Also, is the rhythm on the chain dash supposed to be incredibly hard or is this something with the PS4 version? I find is almost impossible to do with any sort of consistency. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Jul 27, 2016 |
