you should mail them about your costume keys you paid for but fwiw i think you can unlock all the costumes in the game even without them
You should be able to. Those hours you could have saved are being wasted in looking like everyone else. Boring.

I'm stuck on the first puzzle...figuring out the default controller bindings. This is not a good sign
Game gets a big 0 so far. I have no idea what any button does beyond Z and X. I don't know what the all important pause button is. This is a big step back from the first game.

The NPCs have weird vertical wavy lines distorting their sprites every few seconds and they look a bit like The Scream.
Switching to controller. I have no idea why you need a button for specific thing, when the century standard of accept/cancel buttons working for every menu is superior.

It is in the instructions for your key. You have to go to some weird website to download a file and instructions. I got my four keys.

Windowed?

The opening screen where you fall down the cliff at the start has some weird frame issue where the eating animation skips frames.

Using a controller solved my control issues. People really should try the Logitech F510 controller or newer. Longest lasting and best PC controller I used.

How do I scroll the text in the glossary for the dragon boss?

I am so goddamn stuck already. how are y'all already so far?

I beat Nidhogg and Ratatoskr, made my path down to the guy chained up and couldn't figure out how to break him out without getting fried, tried every path I could in Icefire Treetop (and almost cried when I got to the fire-side save point. couldn't figure out how to get to the ice-side's) and now I just have no idea what to do. I can't tell if I'm missing something obvious.
I have that dragon guy to fight after beating squirrel girl twice, so I am busy healing and need to get back to him. Got some ankhs, but no idea how to activate what I guess are seals for the ankhs. I hope something unlocks after beating the boss, because I am otherwise completely boned in progression.

Nidhogg takes around 60 shuriken and the reward is a big kick in the dick, unless you like some I Want To Be The Guy series of death rooms. Money better saved for later and ignore the fool.

try whipping and turning around at the apex of your jump

you can whip both sides of you, keep momentum, and fast fall back in the direction you were going

Cheese tactic: If you pause the game, the screen shows just a bit more space around you. Might be helpful to see what is right below you.

I'm still quite early on but what are these SR cartridges I'm finding? It's throwing me off since they don't seem to appear in my inventory anywhere
I think it also means the rarity or strength of the monster. There are N carts as well.

That Reznor wheel over the lava pool can gently caress itself. Trying to jump to another platform can make you glitch into the lava, because physics and angles. Not that it was worth it besides the barrel having 100 coins and a grail to get out. Advancing further is more instant death traps. I understand the skeleton hints, but gently caress off with the game speeding up to crush or poison you because you took half a step from those bones.

Where is that blood trail stage or whatever? I don't want to deal with that unicorn.

Or are so terrible at fighting bosses that it is the only way to beat them, in the first game. gently caress those bosses.

is it the crystal skulls that are causing more and more enemies to show up in every area of the game? i'm playing in curse mode and it is starting to get completely absurd, everywhere. even the roots of yggdrassil has those awful black valkyries flying around in some of its rooms now


fucks sake. i had the clue for that area but was mistaking the ladders for the two waterfalls that flow down the sides of IB. thanks though!
You had several warnings about curse mode. Either restart your game or find the NPC to revert it.

Knocked over a couple more minor bosses, got another crystal, and a few items that open the game. Still no closer to guardians. The garbs have their own idle animations. Kimono is boring, but Demon outfit has her wings flap.

Haven't killed the third guardian still, but I have about 11 areas with stuff to do and I am not kidding about the number. I have been raiding these places, but never getting to the end of them. Knock off yet another sub-boss and unlocked yet more shortcuts that didn't progress the map enough to find items. This is getting overwhelming. Give me the double jump.

So much better. They fixed the swimming issue, which stopped me from finishing the last game. The bosses so far are much better to fight and I have yet to use a gun on them. Puzzles don't seem impenetrable.

Found the last garb. Idle animation looks like the Roman Salute.



Got the third sigil, had Raty fly away with an Ankh, and opened the save point in poison lava land. Time to find out where unicorn and ice breaker is.

Around 60 shuriken, just to be safe. Buy 100 of them. Guy has a massive health bar, almost filled up.

You probably don't remember the swimming in the first, the swimming in this game is bad, probably intentionally, but it was so so much worse in the first one.

This puts a capstone on my day. Also cheesed the tiny bird fight. Both of them provided a disappointing reward. No closer to finding a third guardian or Japan.
