Did you get the one up on the cliff? I think opposite the big shrine where you got the padlock key, the one you fought the Necromancer in front of, should be a smallish building with a padlock. Through there you get to a garden looking area that has a path up the side of a cliff to a seal.

Fuzz posted:Oh, that part. I thought you meant the part with the big pools and bridges. For that part I seem to remember just continuing forward until you end up back where you started, then you have to just look around that first open area, there's one way off to the side in a little shrine. Definitely keep going forward because you'll end up in that house at the start with the Power gem and a secret idol in it... then you can open all the padlocks you passed on the way in. To find the red shrine go to the big temple where you fought the necromancer demon. Turn your back to it and go straight until you hit the wall then go right. You should see a door to the left that leads into some ponds. Just hug the right wall and you'll find the stairs leading up to the last shrine.

One thing I'm really enjoying is all the little things they hide around the levels. My favorite so far is in the room you encounter the first demon in there's a bell-set you can mess around with. Each bell has different tone when you shoot them, and I managed to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I've also seen a full size Godzilla stomp around in the background of one of the levels, and I found a EDIT:Durp. I tested the QR code and it just goes to qrstuff.com. I guess it's just some random thing the artist grabbed.

As much as I like this game, I haven't gotten very far yet. Question about Chapter 2: I found a lantern-thing in some dark basement with a flashing yellow light but I can't figure out how to break it. Do I need a special move that I don't have yet or do I have to find another secret in the level?

But yeah the exploration aspect is really fun and HOLY poo poo there's a first person shooter in 2013 where you have to shoot barrels to blow open walls to reveal secret rooms! I love it! But if I had to knock this game for one thing it can get sort of confusing where you're supposed to go sometimes as the levels sort of wind back around on themselves and criss-cross all over the place. I think it's really neat but I've definitely been left hunting a few times. And if I had to pick a least favorite level so far it'd be the one with all of the poison labs or whatever that was. The Half-Life homage was fantastic but it was kind of annoying otherwise and not that interesting visually compared to everything else.

So on chapter 5 in that cemetary area after getting the padlock keys I go back to get that ki crystal in the first building at the start of the level and the padlock is on the other side of the door, how do you get to that?

Destro posted:So on chapter 5 in that cemetary area after getting the padlock keys I go back to get that ki crystal in the first building at the start of the level and the padlock is on the other side of the door, how do you get to that? There are 2 ways forward from the cemetary where you got the key. IIRC One is south which leads to the red crystal lock thing, so break it then backtrack to the cemetary. The other is east, past the door that is sealed by the 3 crystal seals. You fall into a hole, break the 2 remaining crystals on your way through and eventually end up getting that Ki crystal you are talking about. It isn't missable if that is what you are worried about(and my directions kinda suck).

So I just picked up the shotgun. It's a double barreled one. That's cool, I like those. Oh, it's got an upgrade that lets it fire both barrels. Nice, Doom 2 super shotgun! More games need one of those! Ah, it's also got something that gives it four barrels. Neat, I'm understanding this information as it is being presented to me. Both upgrades combined fire all four of the barrels. GOTY 2013.

I'm having serious trouble with the giant lava boss with the axe that you fight as soon as you get sucked into the shadow world. I get that you shoot his armor to expose the crystal, but no matter how many bullets I put into that crystal the armor always closes before I can do enough damage. It's happened every time and I'm on multiple attempts to beat this boss. Machine gun, arrows, revolver, not a single one of them seems to pack enough punch to break the crystal before the armor snaps shut again. It's seriously starting to piss me off.

Jesus the Shotgun is a death machine when you have all four barrels and the "all barrels fire at once" mod. The cloaking women, shield enemies, and suicide bombers don't stand a chance when you unload all four barrels into their face at once. I think I got through most of Chapter 13 with it and the rocket launcher. Has anybody who's gotten into the later chapters used any magic outside of the healing spell? I've found it much easier just to unload my shotgun, rocket launcher, PDWs or crossbow into enemies than gently caress around with a spell that'll make two enemies out of 6 float around for 3 seconds.

I wish the pacing was a little more consistent, painkiller was non stop on the enemies and it was awesome but Shadow-warrior keeps crashing headfirst into stupid poo poo like backtracking and hunting for a statue to open a door or whatever. I reached a room with three levers that you're supposed to move to get through a train and I remember thinking "why am I doing this stupid poo poo, this is getting in the way of my monster killing" painkillers idea of a interesting puzzle is attacking you with a new exciting enemy with a different type of weakness.

I'm playing through on normal right now, but the twin smgs at point blank range just chewed them up. The pistols alt fire at point blank may whittle it down fairly well. The crystals health doesn't actually fully regenerate when the armor snaps shut, but it does seem to regenerate at least a healthy chunk. Other than that just dash around when he tries to hit, and if you run low on health or ammo a bunch continuously spawns along the outer edge of the arena.

So how exactly do I kick? I've seen Wang give the boot to a demon's face a couple times but I'm not sure what I did to do that. I sort of regret taking the skill that causes souls to heal better because after chapter 4 souls rarely pop up from corpses, making them an unreliable source of healing compared to medpacks or the sword life steal skill.

This game owns bones but I really don't like any of the Powers thus far. I thought I'd go for Protection but you give up too much with no RMB/Ki attacks and it takes too long to switch it on/off. Shockwave feels a little useless when I'd prefer to have a Ki attack on charge and it also seems to take a while to cast. Healing is alright and I'll probably dump my power points into that. Is Flux worth the points? It seems pretty bleh on paper.

By the time you're at Chapter 9 or 10, you'll have enough firepower that using powers will just take up time you could be tearing enemies apart with upgraded weapons or a powered-up katana.

Gotta say, the choice to replace Wang the Horrible Racist Stand Up Routine with Wang the Ur Goon is inspired. Which isn't surprising, because so is the rest of the game. Chopping dudes down has never been so fun.

And the Protection spell, with ranged block upgrade (360 degree protection is nice too) is a must have when fighting flying demons or Humans. Edit: Doesn't the Flux have a de-enrage component? Maybe that's really awesome for something. DatonKallandor fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Sep 29, 2013 |

I use flux a few times per level. It can pick up everything(inc both shield types) except the largest demons leaving you free to blast them while they are suspended for 4(or 6 seconds max). You can also chain it a few times to get a few different groups when maxed. Never used protection and shockwave is kinda poo poo compared to flux. edit: vvvvvvvvv I would assume the miniboss type demons are the greater ones. Basically the dual wielding minotaur, the necromancer and the charging bull. Those are also the only things that Flux can't pick up either.

I picked this up after seeing some positive feedback here in this thread and just got past the cemetary level. Have had quite a bit of fun with it so far. I really think this is a game that you start to like more as you play it. The first few levels are pretty straightforward and there to get you accustomed to the melee mechanics but as you progress the levels seem to open up a lot more. They also look pretty great as well, especially for such a low profile game. You're also given a lot of tools for combat in the form of powers,skills and guns. In fact, I found that I had to drill myself a bit to get into the habit of using them. so far it's definitely been an interesting and fun game and I hope it'll continue to be as such as I progress. by the way, which enemies count as greater demons and which as lesser for the purposes of demonslayer/godslayer?

This game really is gorgeous... I'm playing with everything maxed out and particularly the docks were just pretty, probably one of the prettiest games I own. I don't know what you guys are on about with the Shockwave sucking. Once you fully upgrade both sides of it it's amazing. It's the fastest of the powers, it knocks down everything but the huge dudes, and it will take away the minions' enrage AND make them start cowering instead of attacking you. In the places where they fly low, it also kills the flying demons in droves if you aim upwards. Other than healing it's the only power I've found useful... I didn't even bother with Protection because I saw "slow down" and "no ki attacks" in the description and immediately went "nope."

Yeah Flux is kinda useless mostly because it takes so drat long to pull off but Shockwave is a good power. Still I used healing more than anything else and didn't even try defensive in my first playthrough.Mr. Maltose posted:Gotta say, the choice to replace Wang the Horrible Racist Stand Up Routine with Wang the Ur Goon is inspired.

I'm honestly shocked they didn't have him scream "I HAVE THE POWERRRR!!! when he completes the sword. And a quick comment on the ending, I'm honestly surprised at how sweet it was. I expected something more...obnoxious but this ended up being a feel good kinda game. e: also Build engine elements look real weird when you bring them into the "real" world

We might start to see more reviews if it makes it to a console (presumably something next gen since it's so resource intensive). The controller support is really good and obviously thought through, with a nice weapon switching menu and aim assist.

I played the living poo poo out of Shadow Warrior back in the day despite knowing it was a garbage game full of stuff that made me really uncomfortable. That game has not held up at all, and is a prime example of the attitude that took over 3DR to produce the travesty that became DNF. This game is none of those things, but it is the most fun I've had playing an FPS since loving Painkiller. Plus I get to slice dudes up with a dildo on a stick and quite possibly a mop next week. This is excellent, this is beautiful both literally and figuratively, and this is the FPS genre I miss.
