This comes out tomorrow?! How the hell did I not know this. La Mulana probably my most favorite game ever. I have been eagerly awaiting the sequel.

Zereth posted:I just beat that miniboss! Climb up the platforms opposite him, throw shuriken at his head, then when the big pink energy thing attack starts, drop down to the floor, then jump up on the lowest platform on the side you were just on, and jump towards the middle to get over his swoop attack. Climb up the other side and throw shuriken at his head, lather rinse repeat. If you try to get close enough to whip him, he'll go to the other side. The scalesphere is the reward for beating the Valhalla guardian.

Zereth posted:I'm asking because based on La Mulana 1, there being a boss in the "Back Side" of an area is no indication that there wouldn't be one in the "front side". You might be making assumptions on bad pretenses because in La Mulana 1 there is exactly one guardian for each front-back pair.

It gets even weirder though which now that I'm thinking about it throws even my assumptions of this game into question: (more LM1 spoilers) All the guardians are in the front side fields.

They weren't, but La Mulana had a very clever and also infuriating puzzle related to this: All the maps misled you from the fact that all the fields were actually 4x5 squares that wrap around (if exits allow).

I'm at 10 hours and I'm faffing about after beating the second guardian. I'm also just leaving the game running while I make maps and log the tablets. And standing around wondering what to do. It's kind of exhilarating really. I needed to start making maps because when I pick up the game after a break I forget where anything is. Like I know I saw a thing I can do somewhere but I'll be damned if I can remember what field, let alone what room it was in.

DalaranJ posted:The worst part about this game is it’s impossible to work on the puzzles when I’m away from the game, so I just spend all day desperately trying to avoid clicking any of the spoilers in the thread. I watched a certain Let's Play of the original La Mulana before I played it myself but I still felt it was very difficult regardless of my foreknowledge. I've been disciplined with not looking at spoilers so far and it is extremely satisfying to solve puzzles and beat the guardians.

Nidhogg is a case study in remembering that you have sub weapons and they're pretty good. Toss 3 shuriken, jump over the wing attack, jump over the flyby, repeat.

I don't mind joke ones that have a skeleton somewhere but i just jumped across a small gap and got crushed with no warning.

f#a# posted:I'm pretty early on but need some help. In Immortal Battlefield, I talked to Indra and he indicated that he made the ankh appear but I can't for the life of me find it. Apparently it's by the ship but I can't get there because it's blocked by a block with the area hexes on it. Is there some way of removing those that I'm missing? Come up from the other side, like from Mulbruk's tent. You can get to the where you're going from the water below.

Perhaps someone cooler than me can point me in a direction to do stuff. I feel like I'm spinning my wheels. My gear:  My mantras:  Some things I've been doing recently: -Last guardian I beat was Jormungand. -Explored the DLM and Heaven's Corridor a bit. -Just got the moon mantra. -Activated Typhon and killed a bunch of minibosses in HC. -Found the twins chest which I think has the Cog in it, but I need some sort of vessel, which is in a chest in IB, which I can't see a way to get to. -I'm missing one white tablet in GotD. Searched the place but I came up empty. -Lots of NPCs speak of the Underworld but I have no idea where that might be. I think that about covers it.

Velius posted:So I just possibly sequence broke the game a little. I’m the DLM in the Thunder Altar room there’s a chest that I opened some way I’ve forgotten but which was too high to reach. The tablet says I need to “clear the corridor”, but I just damage boosted up to the top and got the feather. So far I’ve gotten the corridor of blood open to the Eternal Prison but haven’t achieved anything there beyond dying since I can’t grail out. I’m guessing I was supposed to go to the corridor and just exit back to the corridor from the prison, but I haven’t tried that yet. Still I absolutely love sequence breaks so this was neat! Yep! It's super easy to get that before you're 'supposed' to. What you're actually supposed to do is open the ceiling from the room immediately above it, which requires you to beat Jormungand first.

While super easy to see in hindsight, the tablet in the same room as the Corridor of Blood shows a picture of someone holding up the Beherit to the corridor.

I've got his ankh jewel and the Pochette Key, but I haven't been able to manifest the ankh. You're definitely ready to do this. You have all the ingredients to get the things to spawn the ankh. You're missing a key thing though... check around the Immortal Battlefield for things related to "Lokapala's protective diety", especially around chests you haven't opened.

I found a new way to die like a chump. Turns out if you're too jittery (or if you're using the crappy 360 dpad like I am), you can activate the elevator in the tutorial La Mulana area and have the door close on top of you, killing you instantly.

Ah I see, you're missing a key convo from Izanagi in the Takamagahara Shrine. I've transcribed it below in case you don't want to hoof it all the way there, or don't want to scour the area: "I went down to the Underworld to see my dead wife. However those who have fallen to the Underworld cannot attain life again. Trembling with terror at the sight of my horribly decayed wife, I sealed off one of the entrances to the Underworld. To break the seal, chant the words of my mantras: Sun, moon, and sea. Wait. If you are to venture to the Underworld, find the mirror. Within this mirror, made from polished bronze and infused with prayer, lies the power to illuminate the true path. This mirror will allow you to find the gate from which you can leave the underworld."

Yeah the game is definitely more hostile and that includes more instant death traps which I'm not a big fan of. It's definitely one of my primary criticisms of the game, which I still think is great overall.
