Getting past the checkout screen without getting an error is hands down the hardest la mulana puzzle in either version edit: there it goes Clever Spambot fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Jul 13, 2012 |

Honestly never heard of La-Mulana until I read this thread but that beginners video was enough to pique my interest. So I just bought it and I'm going in blind. Everything about the game looks right up my street.

Dammit the third boss is much harder as well. The hitbox for throwing shurkiens is TINY compared to the original. It's easier (and more dangerous) to whip his face but that makes me die fast. And hearing that Bahamut is harder is making me cry. I dread fighting that guy in the original

Spoilering this advice request to be safe: I've beaten the Mausoleum, the Temple of the Sun, Guidance Gate, and I've gotten to the boss in Spring in the sky. I've gotten 2 seals so far, but now I've got no idea where to head next. Endless Corridor, Twin Labyrinths and Chamber of Extinction all seem like they require stuff I don't have, and I'd rather not go back into that inferno place again unless it's the only way I can go right now. Or is there anywhere else I can do?

If the progression is anything like the original (which I'm discovering is slightly different in places) you can go through the Inferno Cavern to get a nice item that will help you in that area. If you have the mirror, begin exploring the backside worlds for more stuff. You should also be able to enter the Twin Labyrinth from right after the 3rd boss and rush that poison gas area for another item that will help you progress in that area. This is all based on my knowledge of the original and I'm already discovering that a number of items are moved around in this updated game so my help may not be of much help. At the least do the first bit I mentioned because I've confirmed that part to be true. I'm not far enough for the other two suggestions.

Bahamut is really drat frustrating, though he is beaten now. So far the only correct answer I see as far as he goes is use flares. Oh btw, you'll need 42 of them

Just bought this and got started. I'm already stuck, but I'm going to go back and explore some more. And oh hey, I remembered how to open the shortcut into the Guidance Gate from the Surface! Except with the grail warp now it's pointless really...

It works with other gamepads too, I just had to configure my logitech in the in-game menu. It's really nice to be able to play this game without having the same button mapped for jumping and climbing ladders. I still haven't beaten the giant, can't remember his name. He has a new attack now that kills me every time, I can't avoid it. I may have to go find another health upgrade in the Temple of the Sun or something.

I'm having a ridiculous time with Sakit. I can get past the original portion of the boss just fine, but as soon as his mask falls off I die to his stupid fist and can't seem to get close to his face without getting knocked back. Any tips, or is this just a boss fight I come back later for when I'm more well equipped?

General advice for bosses: come back with more health, bring the Axe when you do. I know it was useless in the original but trust me on this.

Oh ok, that's his name. Also yeah, that's where I die every time. However there's a really important thing that you're missing when the boss changes. Try your other weapons

spoilered help request I got the anti-lava cape from the Inferno Cavern and found the tablet there, but I'm guessing the Twin Labyrinths were changed, since I can only access a single room through the Temple of the Sun, and it doesn't seem to contain anything but poison gas. I also found out how to access backside areas, but I can only find the Temple of Moonlight, and it seems to require items I haven't got yet. Anywhere else I can look?

Haven't played this version yet, but if it's the same, you can just skip the first few bosses until you have more health and stuff in general. The game is open ended enough where you can just actively avoid fighting difficult bosses for quite a while.

I'm really liking the changes to the game so far. Most of it is familiar, but it isn't like someone who's played the original game will skate by this one. Not by a long shot. And I mean more than just changing the order of some items, tweaking some puzzles, and improving the bosses. I think most existing players who enter the "Confusion Gate" for the first time will see what I'm saying.

Okay, how the heck do I solve the puzzle in the Guidance Gate with the 2 blocks? I see a third block's indentation or whatever in the room but I don't know how to make it appear and pushing one near the switch doesn't do jack because it lands 1 push away and it's blocked by a wall

Just put up my review over at IGM. http://www.indiegamemag.com/la-mulana-review/ As far as remakes/updates go, this is right up there with Bionic Commando: Rearmed, IMHO. I wonder if Nigoro could be leaned upon to release the official level editor, too? They've laid pretty much everything else open to modding, so that would be the one last thing we'd need...

^ Dunno why they'd bother. No one did anything with the editor for the original game.Klaus Kinski posted:How the gently caress do you make the jump to the birth seal without doublejump? You can make the jump from the top of the left waterfall to the left ledge. It's best to have the Knife and be hammering on it as you fall to catch the bird enemy on your way down. If you get sick of trying that you'll just have to wait until you beat Bahamut and fall straight down to the right ledge from the top of the right waterfall.

Has anyone been able to find the demo for La-Mulana Playism lists? I need it to check if my Mac can run the game using Crossover. EDIT: Decided to buy it just to give Nigoro money. I can get it to run as long as it's in the same bottle as DirectX 9, but there's no sound and I can't interact with it, so I guess no La-Mulana for me.

Outstanding remake so far, though there are a couple things that perplex me a little. Having to collect the XP and there being so much less of it now begs the question of why they didn't just bother switching it to health pick ups in the first place? The best thing about this system is it lets you hold onto a large chunk of it and only pick up the xp to heal when you need it, but still. Sub weapon ammo seems a lot less plentiful this time around too, which is probably for the better since it was so easy to farm it with a couple of replenishing pots in the original. Also, I both love and hate some of the new bosses. Some of them feel like they were made for some other game in which the main character has a lot better mobility. And what the hell is up with Anubis? I cannot seem to beat that rear end, no matter what I do I just end up getting pushed to the edge of the area and then pounded 2 or 3 times before I can get back behind him. Not very nice of them to move around all the objects that I use to sequence break in the early game either.

tooooooo bad posted:^ Dunno why they'd bother. No one did anything with the editor for the original game. Cause the editor for the original game is very basic, not user friendly, lacked any and all documentation, and IIRC wasn't even compatible with the english patch anyway. I had to figure out a bunch of poo poo on my own via reverse engineering and still haven't nearly finished figuring out everything. If this is as easy to mod as is advertised, I'll just do something with this game rather than mess with the original :P Sumdian posted:On the off chance you haven't figured it out by now, you can climb up the ladder below the chests to get to the platform (it threw me off too). Are you speaking with knowledge of the original game? Cause that puzzle is... different in this version... The solution of placing the weights in the correct order is the same, but there's an additional step of making the pedestals appear in the first place. To do that, you need to use your scanner at four specific points in the Temple of Moonlight. There are four tablets scattered about (one of which is in Giant's Graveyard just cause Nigoro are evil like that) that each give hints as to where those four points are. That's probably the new puzzle that's stumped me the most in this remake so far. Super Jay Mann fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Jul 14, 2012 |

Wow, they made the Bahamut fight pretty challenging in the remake. The first half of fight is pretty easy for me now, but the attack where he spits fireballs in the background is hard to dodge when the cave turns.Super Jay Mann posted:Are you speaking with knowledge of the original game?

Look for the skeleton that says something about finding a secret passage, and how the ruins are connected in strange ways. Snoop around there. Now I'm stuck in the Spring in the Sky. I went into that little alcove that you used to put the weight in and it'd seal you inside, but let you turn the crank in the next room afterwards. Only, now that pedestal is locked by some strange bar or something and I can't figure out what it wants me to do.

My issues with the game randomly shifting into hyperspeed seem to have been caused by my monitor running at 120Hz. It runs fine if I temporarily switch to 60Hz, so if anyone else is having a similar problem they could try that.

This game still rules, I can't believe I'm going through it again. Fortunately, it's been long enough since last time that I've pretty much forgotten everything. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. All kinds of things are ringing vague bells, like first time I got a red gem I went "Ooooh riiight, these things!" without actually knowing what the hell they're for. So now I'm just blundering around, got the Scalesphere, loads of red gems, three sub weapons. Love this game.

That was my experience going in, too. Which is great, as it makes even the unchanged stuff fresh. They've really rejigged a lot. Combat and platforming in general are tougher (before they got very easy after a point), but puzzles are a bit more intuitive, and the whole thing flows nicer.

I almost lost it when I found out there was a screen to the left of the first screen. You can also get the Glyph Book in the shop there too that I didn't know about. -_- Healing Spring too. So, I found an app hidden near the beginning. It's called deathv.exe. Does it do anything other than take up RAM?
