I just hope there won't be any of those bullshit puzzles like the random teleporting walls or mario pipe.

>>15215798

The walls you could atleast map, the giants pipe was really unforgivable. I hope they have moments like the eden reveal.

isnt it on gog already?

It's finally coming out? Took them long enough.

I never actually finished the first one.

>>15215830

Oh I just checked, it is but with the tag "This item will be available for download on August 1, 2018." So I guess that is the release date? Good catch!

Just got my key. Hopefully I can fix my monitor issues before I start playing it.

>>15215830

Don't buy it on gog though.

>>15215935

>Inb4 hurr durr but mulbruk can say a totally random line about how the protag sleeps after eating

>>15215957

why shouldnt i get it on gog

>>15215960

Something something GOG caving in to game journous and the perpetually offended after deleting and apologizing for a Postal 2 screenshot on Twitter.

>>15215960

Because they are a bunch of pussies that apologized for making a post on twitter showing a joke that appears on Postal 2 about pissing on game journalism.

The SJW clique sperged about it, and they deleted the post and made the beforementioned apology.

Also I'm pretty sure they made something equally cancerous in the past, but can't remember what.

>>15215970

>>15215972

o right, forgot about that for a moment.

where's my eye patch

>>15215974

You could still support the devs via Playism. They actually made a post on the Steam forums where they basically ask for word-of-the-mouth advertising by fans because La-Mulana 1, while being a cult title, didn't sell all that well, and they ended up struggling with various, undefined "hardships".

>>15215957

>Now make sure that woman is with child, then sleep within the woman. That reminds me, you always fall asleep right after you eat.

You'd think all the curry memes would have made that connection completely obvious

>>15216016

And you're absolutely correct, I must have confused it with another thing, because the line you said can be triggered manually.

>>15216154

Maybe the line about Wedjet being another name for Horus? I think in the original that clue was given in the manual, but Mulbruk says it in the remake.

That's one reason I'd generally recommend the original, the most arguably unfair puzzles are almost always exclusive to the remake. That Ocarina puzzle is definitely one of the exceptions, though, since the clue in the original is literally a single random tablet that says "Sleep within the woman".

>>15215790

You really need to do a bit of study on the difference between "its" and "it's".

If anybody is interested, Nigoro will be doing a livestream at this link in about an hour, it seems to be a launch party. I won't be watching, in case there are any spoilers.

Naramura also posted something on KS yesterday to share his thoughts on the game's forthcoming release.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/playism/la-mulana-2/posts/2248716

It reminds me a lot of the wording in the original LM1 manual, where GR3 wondered if anyone would even like the game, and if it was as good as it could possibly be. I can understand, to me this is going to be their first truly new, full-scale game in thirteen years. I know there was another post a while back where they mentioned that they've been mentally working on LM2 for about nine years, ever since they started working on the remake. Hopefully they can prove that the first game wasn't just a flash in the pan, and they can live up to everyone's expectations.

At least it is coming out, with all the kikestarter scams I was worried this would be another one of them. I loved playing through the first one even though I am kind of shit at this genre.

Really hope they don't fuck up the keyboard controls again.

Finalized trailer actually out with a release date for 30th July

I haven't been this excited for a game since mania, and I can't even remember being excited for anything prior to that one. It's really great seeing a whole new bag of tricks instead of it being a reskin of the first game.

>>15223427

I doubt we're getting a better boss theme than Interstice of the Dimension, though

>>15224594

>implying Marduk isn't gonna have the dopest theme

It's going to be a huge disappointment.

>>15229012

Steam's countdown says 1 hour, so expect;

playism's DRM free release to go live in 11 minutes

Steam's release to go live in 1 to 2 hours

and god knows when for gog and humble bundle.

I hate this period of having to wait for the first impressions to verify if the game is worth a buy.

I'm pretty sure I backed it, but I think I might have done it through the Playism site. I have received no emails and I have no idea where it might be. How much is it? I sadly might have to buy it again

>>15229086

It's not like the game is 100GB, you can just download it and see for yourself.

>>15229095

It's 25$ I think

check your spam folder.

I backed through Kickstarter and it landed there.

Or try to login on playism and see if it is in your games list there

>>15229107

I just checked Kickstarter, Playism, GOG and Paypal. There's no record of a transaction to Nigoro, Playism, or KS, so maybe I'm just fucking imagining things? But I'm certain I did it off-site, maybe to them directly?

>>15223427

>female protagonist

>no breast giggle animation

game developers have really lost sight of proper priories.

>>15229118

I think you are because I don't remember them taking backers outside of kickstarter ever

>>15229125

You know these are the guys that made a bitch-slapping simulator and a panty-stealing simulator, right?

Oh somebody's about to be really upset when they look at the settings menu

>>15229146

explain I won't be able to play the game for another 3 hours

>>15229149

I'll give you a hint, it has to do with the keyboard configuration options. There's something fucky with the gamepad controls as well, actually, might just be the driver I'm using, but pressing some buttons makes Lumisa perform multiple actions.

>>15229146

Did they fuck up the keyboard control setup again like they did in the remake?

>Those chat animations and high quality portraits

Okay this game is gonna rock

>>15229165

Same KB controls, but I rebound them to something more comfortable for me.

BY THE WAY YOU CAN ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE FROM LADDERS AT ANY POINT NOW

>>15229209

Are you saying you can properly rebind movement this time? Or are you stuck with arrow key cancer again if you wanna use a keyboard?

>>15229239

Ah no, looks like you're still stuck with the arrow keys. Why is that a problem? Most nip games use Arrows+ZX as the base of their control scheme

>>15229239

>>15229248

Just grab the keyboard with both hands like a big NES controller, that's how I play my porn platformers.

>>15229248

Ouch, that's really disappointing to hear. It honestly blows my mind at how incompetent doujin developers can be about control setup, especially considering that unlike others Nigoro has been in near constant communication with Western fans since La-Mulana became popular.

YOU HAD ONE FUCKING JOB NIGORO

>Why is that a problem?

Because I like controlling movement with my left hand, like literally every other input device, and because customization is supposed to be one of the cornerstones of PC gaming.

I'm not totally impressed yet, but it also seems like the game hasn't really started, or won't start until you get to Eg-Lana. LM1's my favorite game and I wasn't expecting this to really usurp that, but still, LM2 has a very showy introduction that rubbed me the wrong way, nothing like being able to walk straight into the ruins in LM1.

>>15229209

They mentioned that in an earlier blogpost, they decided to put that in the game after watching so many speedrunners use the caltrops trick to speed up ladder drops. They slightly altered the jumping physics as well, and there are some platforms you can either jump straight upwards through or drop downwards through.

Intro video is great.

Entering the Eg-Lana ruins is great.

Jokes and references are great.

This game is great.

Yep, it picks up considerably when you enter Eg-Lana, this is just like old times. I'll have to stop posting so I can get sunk in.

Who else /hardmode/ here?

>>15229398

I haven't found the tablet to trigger it, if that's the way it's still done. I am three pages deep in notes, though

>>15229430

It's still in the Mausoleum and you can access it before you hit Eg Lana proper.

>All I Need is One Finger!

<Defeat all guardians in hard mode without using secondary weapons

Oh fuck why did this hell have to return? Anyways, one down.

>>15229440

Huh, I thought for sure I checked that already. Thanks

That's nice. I'll give it a pirate

Alright, one guardian down, making progress. Probably as difficult as remake Amphisbaena, and it's nice that it was mythologically accurate.

>game auto-saves when you use an Ankh Jewel on an Ankh

See, this is the sort of little thing I was worried about, although I suppose those sort of concessions were already in the remake.

The decision to gate progress by number of guardians defeated is sort of an odd choice, although I guess in the long run it's going to be more open than just having specific doors unlock when specific guardians are defeated.

>>15229707

>game auto-saves when you use an Ankh Jewel on an Ankh

This is a welcome change for me. If you remember Palenque, just try to beat him with main weapons only on hard mode, and you'll appreciate not having to run back across 12 screens to fight him again every time his huge hitbox instantly kills you

>>15215790

What are the system specs for this? I have an absolute toaster but I recall the last game being pixelshit.

>>15229768

It runs on Unity, is taking about 900mb ram and eating up one of my 3.2mhz cpus. Probably try to pirate it first

>>15224390

If you are looking for a Metroid-like experience, this is it…

So it looks like you get Mantra way earlier this time.

I also defeated Nidhogg and it lead to a tricky back area.

Also, it seems the Earth Spear is used to trigger slotted buttons, perhaps?

It doesn't seem like I've run into too many straight up riddles so far, it's like every tablet is just trying to ground everything mythologically, more so than LM1. Probably welcome news to people who didn't like the puzzles in the first game.

>>15229886

I might be lagging behind, I've just been exploring Valhalla

>>15229939

How are you tracking your progress? Are you doing the journal meme or just winging it? I've only killed one guardian, but I've been exploring shallow and wide trying to just find tablets and get a general sense of places. Found the Cat Claw just now

>>15229948

>Are you doing the journal meme

Hey, I love the journal. I don't know if it's actually going to be that helpful or necessary this time around, but still.

>How are you tracking your progress?

I've been exploring more slowly, so mostly just by levels found and upgrades found, and I know you have a few more than I do. I skipped Nidhogg and Ratatoskr at the beginning, though, which may be where the path diverged.

>>15229957

I need the Earth Spear to get past what Ratatoskr was guarding.

I get the feeling that Yggdrasil area acts as a central hub, since there's about six or so supposed exits from it.

You went through Divine Fort to access Valhalla right? I have a hunch that Valhalla is the backside to the fort, and the backsides might connect to each other, while Yggdrasil connects the front sides

>>15229978

>I need the Earth Spear to get past what Ratatoskr was guarding.

Ah I see what you mean.

>I have a hunch that Valhalla is the backside to the fort, and the backsides might connect to each other, while Yggdrasil connects the front sides

The red Mantra Tablet would definitely imply that, but looking at the shape of each level and the general way levels link to each other, I'm not sure they're necessarily pulling the same map tricks as before. There's also the Corridor of Blood to consider, and I remember a similar thing in the demo years ago as well. I have no idea if you can predict your passage through there at all, you'd need some serious movement upgrades to make it a viable passage through all levels.

Also caught the tablet hint about Red Eyes punishing "those who ransack", but I've yet to see any of those, unless they're talking about those red-eyed busts you're supposed to cast mantas on?

There's also an online manual, if anyone wants to read it.

https://la-mulana.com/en/manual/l2/pc/index.php

>>15230037

In Valhalla, there's a 4-armed statue of an Asura with 4 sigil stones around it. It's guarded by a red Eye of Retribution. I imagine it might kill you outright but I have no idea.

Where is the corridor? Did you enter it from Yggdrasil? I remember seeing it in the demo but I can't find it now. The odin busts when scanned mention invocation so I think those are related to the Mantras, yes.

>>15230024

I found an ankh jewel and bought one. Only downed one boss so far though

>>15230050

>I imagine it might kill you outright but I have no idea.

Well I think the idea is that the Red Eyes punish theft in the same way Blue Eyes punish damage to the ruins. so I imagine the damage would be comparable. I remember that statue but didn't register the eye at the time.

>Where is the corridor?

Shit I forget, Valhalla? It's a very obvious entrance and Fobos and Xelpud send you a message about it, you won't miss it.

>>15230055

thanks, I found one as well now.

There was a hint about someone being imprisoned with poison dripping onto them. You just need to destroy the nozzle, which is found under the 3 statues

>I think the Corridor of Blood acts as a teleport mechanism

Well clearly, but after 3? teleports you end up at the bottom of a vertical tunnel. There'd have to be either a) a movement upgrade that lets you move freely vertically or b) some sort of key for the keyhole that allows you to rotate the corridor at will.

>>15230322

>Niddhogg fucks my colon

I don't know if there's a way to do that one this early in the game without using shurikens. Good luck to any nutjob that's going to do the All I Need Is One Finger challenge.

>>15230474

Nidhogg was easy, I used the knife and occasionally shurikens to hit him. But that achievement is only for the guardians themselves.

>>15230474

I was actually having trouble finding the shurikens, oddly enough. I was revisiting one of the other rooms and suddenly realized there was a destructible wall. Felt like an idiot.

>>15230481

The knife? How? I couldn't even hit him from behind with the whip without colliding with his torso and taking damage.

>>15230507

I studied his patterns. He does 3-ball burst, 3-ball burst, then the wing thing, then a swoop to the other side. All you have to do is run towards him on the ground during the bursts, and climb up the opposite platforms. Then, you jump twice to avoid the rings, and as soon as he flies off screen, you jump straight up off the platform and knife him on your way down, and repeat. He dies in about 12 hits or so

>>15230514

>you jump straight up off the platform and knife him on your way down

Do you not have to tank some contact damage when you do that? I thought maybe you could crouch down in the middle of the arena and dodge his swoop that way while getting in a hit with the overhead hitbox of the whip, but no dice.

is there a link up yet?

Yeah, that's nice and all, but she's neither an exec nor one of those higher-up PR shitheads who caused the problem in the first place. Her word means as much as a janitor for the Capitol building promising that the government will stop pandering to Jewish interests.

Did you figure out you can hit the sunken switches without the Earth Spear? Maybe that hits them as well, but you can access them another way

>>15230694

but their storefront itself has been good in terms of that; they've been fighting DRM since they were conceived and they've brought VNs and other anime games in the wake of Steam's attempted mass purge

She works at GoG, she's not some outside contractor

>nor one of those higher-up PR shitheads who caused the problem in the first place

Its their marketing department but what she did proves that their company isn't some monolithic entity

The fact that they've been picking up games and VNs that Steam has been screwing over ever since the waifupocalypse should give them some credibility at least, I'd hope

If nothing else I hope you fags seriously aren't using Steam, Playism is good; I'd recommend for that place in a heartbeat

>>15230744

Oh, does the rolling shuriken trigger it too?

holy fuck its out?!! well damn checking my email for dat key

big ups on them for that surprise release tho

I knew Vritra seemed familiar, it's a straight GR3 reference, 47:50

>>15230834

It does. It seems like it's not supposed to hit that one near the tablet that tells you to use the Earth Spears because of the angle, but it's possible if you're persistent.

>>15230953

Someone save that fairy!

>>15229248

I honestly can't believe they managed to fuck this up again. Fans have been complaining about it in the remake for years now.

>>15231204

I've been keeping track of the ones I've found so far in the notebook, it seems like they're all going to form a complete set in the end.

There's also an NPC in the snow area who explains how the Corridor of Blood works. It seems like Nigoro's using mantras as a tool for expanding how your character can interact with the game world instead of just weighing down daises and hitting walls. The text implies you can cast certain mantras at different objects in the ruins to different effect, you have to cast "dissonance" to determine where the Corridor leads.

There's also a line of text about branches having "counterparts", so I may have been wrong about them changing their map philosophy. You get the software to warp to backsides counterparts relatively early, though

>>15231221

Any clues on the Djed Pillar's location this time around? I've made good progress in Annwfn (past the poison room) and found the mantra of Earth and a place to use it ,but no luck yet

>>15231239

I don't believe so, no, the only tablet I've seen mention it is the early one that says the ten mantras lead the holder of the Djed to "the End". There is a clue that Naga has sealed the path to the virtual wise men, though, which is obviously a lead on the mantras.

So what roadblocks have stumped you anons? Because mine is my direct download of the game keeps stopping.

>>15231426

You can find fragments of Lemeza's diary as you explore. It sums up the previous game, the setting, and current adventure quite nicely. Basically it gives context to the greater whole

>>15215790

Is it the final release, or a rough version that's going to be slowly patched to completion 5 years from now?

>>15231499

Final.

Though, they'll add little bits of polish here and there, maybe rebalance a boss or two, but it's released

>>15231426

There are some levels which seem to be only accessible via an interdimensional corridor, I think all bets are off

>>15231499

>5 years from now

It's been in development for 5 years, that's how long it took to make the first one. Slightly longer, technically.

>>15231507

>There are some levels which seem to be only accessible via an interdimensional corridor, I think all bets are off

I am having trouble trying to figure out the flow and logic. For example, I just got the 3rd sigil, but there's an area that needs the Djed Pillar and the 2nd sigil, so I feel like I'm missing it. Meanwhile, some backsides have those twin pyramid things as a tablet to teleport to, while some have actual tablets. It's strange.

>>15229273

It makes no different you nitpicking faggot.

So is the game living up to the expectation?

>>15231527

I know what you mean. I don't want to make any declarative statements about the overall map structure until I've played it a few times, but it really feels like your progress is bottlenecked in unusual ways. It's especially strange since I remember Nigoro made a big deal in an earlier KS post that this would be slightly shorter but more nonlinear than LM1.

>some backsides have those twin pyramid things as a tablet to teleport to

Did you find the Totem Pole already? I assumed that would be cropping up shortly, but I stopped my progress for the night.

I have a suspicion that there are some roadblocks that can actually be solved in multiple ways, which might explain the unusual routing. There's the Earth Spear / Rolling Shuriken switches we already found, and there's also a tablet somewhere in the Roots of Yggdrasil that mentions a gate can be opened either by the power of a race with a memory of the mother or by some other mechanism.

>>15231543

>Did you find the Totem Pole already? I assumed that would be cropping up shortly, but I stopped my progress for the night.

Yes, it's located in Annwfn, past the Ratatoskr entrance from Yggdrasil

One last post for tonight

You can control the destination on the Corridor of Blood.

>>15215790

Does this game have xbox controller support? Will my integrated graphics craptop run it? If yes to both I will pull the trigger on a purchase right away.

>>15231536

To you, you low-standards apologist.

>>15232406

supporting the devs is good, but when in doubt, pirate first. You can find it on goodolddownloads

Yes, it should handle XInput just fine

Integrated graphics is quite a range of power, however. I had to set the graphics quality to low in the options (practically no fucking visual difference) to get decent speed on my laptop

They made it in Unity. For the easy-to-use toolset, they said. But Unity's render code still needs a fuckton of optimization when it comes to unbaked lighting and advanced graphical effects

>>15231541

My expectation was

>La-Mulana, but a bit different

It seems to be just that. The opening amused me, and when you get into the game proper it feels like the first game just with some changes here and there.

Any tips for the Nidhoggr? I'm currently trying to nibble down his health with shurikens, but I'm starting to get worried that he'll eat more of them than I can carry before finally bites the dust.

Also, yay for Europears where the [Accept] button is seemingly hard-wired to Y. Which means, Z, on the far side of the keyboard.

>>15231541

I guess I was hoping for a slight change in format. Perhaps multiple ruins sites and traveling between them, perhaps by level select, finding tools and treasures and using them in other ruins

But it's good as is, if in an inefficient engine

>>15232689

Okay, this is the most unintuitive part of the whole game:

On the title screen, press right. You will highlight the system control settings.

Make the buttons whatever you want, but keep in mind that some game functions can't ride the same input as confirm/cancel. For example, the item button can't share input with cancel because you use it to record conversations and text to one of the apps

>>15231541

Basically, like >>15232682 said, La-Mulana 1, but a bit different

>>15232689

You can kill him with only shurikens, it just takes forever. On normal I brought 79 and I had a small amount remaining. I did miss a couple times though. His glossary page lists him at 60 HP. I'm not sure if shurikens still only do 1 damage or if I just missed a ton

>>15232662

Pirated and it runs like fucking molasses. I hope they patch it. The graphics are identical to the first game which runs smoothly on my machine.

>>15232839

Blame Unity.

>>15230164

I'm not sure if this is some sort of semi joke item, similar to the anchor in the first game. You can't do anything properly without unequipping it.

>>15230164

>>15232929

>joke item

I don't think so. I mean, the animation is obviously comical, but you can use it to run past the trap in the room where it's found, I think it could be used to bypass other similar traps.

>>15231818

I use DS4Windows and was having a slightly different issue, but thanks all the same. Seems like Unity was detecting the controller twice when it was wired in for some reason, so I played wirelessly.

>Hollow Knight and La-Mulana 2

>Blatant shilling

Maybe if your head wasn't so far up your own asshole you could stop snorting your own farts. A lot of people liked (or at least claimed to like) La-Mulana, to the point where even now there's still shitposters who say 'make way for the actual best metroidvania' whenever a not-la-mulana metroidvania game is posted.

Hollow Knight is a solid game with good controls, good atmosphere, good boss design, and something like 2/3rds of dark souls stuffed into it, multiple endings, and some optional fights that actually get fucking difficult. It's very polished and has a great soundtrack.

They're good games, and you're on a fucking video game board, did it never occur to you that maybe some people here like video games? You dumb cunt.

I am certain the next guardian for me is a Jewish bull-god named Kujata. I don't know where any clues are

Oh shit. You know the black gates that look like the ruins symbol and you need the Totem Pole for? Looks like the game doesn't save the memory of them when you quit the application session. I think that's by design, but still, it caught me by surprise

The system around icicle grabbing makes me want to murder someone. That there reliably are bats or other flying fuckers with semi-random movement patterns next to them is not helping.

>>15233348

It's just the one room at the entrance, right? Oh and I guess the room at the top with the swinging blocks. It's not too bad.

It works on any polished pillar, but only ice ones make you slide

>>15233315

Didn't they say you reached Kujata through the ship in the Divine Fortress, which is activated by a seal? If that's the same Spiral Ship mentioned on another tablet then you should need two seals guarded by dragons, the Spiral of Life and Spiral of Hell. I assumed my next guardian was going to be a Palenque-style fight with Jormungand, unless you've already wrapped that one up.

Stop going so fast! You should want to savor this

Anon, I've been playing for 17 hours and only killed two guardians with 3 jewels on standby. IM LOST

>>15233412

It seems like the Ankhs so far (for those two guardians anyway) are always summoned by the Trickster, maybe he's somewhere in the area and you haven't found him yet?

>>15233419

I did run into him in the Battlefield and there was a room with a Cog slot but I don't have that yet. You seem to be right about the fights; at least, there was a "spirit" to chase as well (poisoned well and the guy in Valhalla) that activated the ankh; I think a tablet mentioned this "binding" as well.

>I think I need to beat Kujata to get the Djed Pillar, I have several mantras and places to use them, but I just need that

>I think he's in the Immortal Battlefield because of the amount of Jewish symbolism there (he's their Atlas god)… but it says Jormungand is fought there

>Unless Jormungand is the "grievance" you fight for dissonance

Minor spoilery things/facts:

>6 areas leave Yggdrasil, one for each child

>The Giants (2nd race) were completely annihilated. Likewise Shrine of the Frost Giants says the counterpart is broken and there is no path there from Yggdrasil

>9 or more guardians (inferred from one of those soul door things)

>5 grievances/dissonance remain in the world

>12 thrones to Valhalla (unknown if flavor or important)

>>15233344

Neverfucking mind.

Looks like I didn't save at the end of my play session and lost about 2 hours

>>15233579

I have no idea. I was up until 6 am playing.

I'm missing a few collectibles and things here, so maybe that was an exaggeration on my part. But it seems like I had a mix of things saved and not saved, so I don't know what the hell I did.

Oh now I remember what I'm missing. A bunch of teleports, plus fairy power and the pochette key and anchor

where do I find the knife?

>>15233685

I think it was in the first area. Might be wrong though

>>15233698

oh guess ill need to go back and find it. In the 2nd area now

I'd say the biggest tip I can give everyone: Check your map. A lot.

You can at least make a physical copy to tick off rooms you've visited, but at the very least, I've found about 3 or 4 rooms total - by chance - that I could've found if I looked at my fucking map.

>>15233740

Is this game like demon sperm?

Nope, the black gates disappeared on me again. It must be until you die or something?

>>15231814

>the arcade

Holy shit I found it too, I always wondered why they never did this in the remake. Maybe there will be a PR3 EX somewhere

>>15233833

Ah, I think I get it now. There's a bunch of Black Gates all over the ruins. You can bind to at most one at a time to give you an extra teleport location

>>15233400

>Didn't they say you reached Kujata through the ship in the Divine Fortress, which is activated by a seal? If that's the same Spiral Ship mentioned on another tablet then you should need two seals guarded by dragons, the Spiral of Life and Spiral of Hell

Do you know where the Sea of Chaos is? I assume it's just a named spot on the map. I have the ship and the 3rd sigil, so I should be able to. There is a 3-screen boat in the Battlefield that has a 9-soul door on it, but I don't think that's the right one. I think the Spiral stuff relates possible to the Battlefield though, since that is similar to the Twinlabs

Maybe you're supposed to fight it much later but holy fuck, the Vedfolnir miniboss is twice as hard as either of the guardians so far. Not the arena or the pattern, just the amount of health.

>>15234015

>Do you know where the Sea of Chaos is?

That sounds familiar, but it's not in my notes. I remember some NPC saying "below us lies the Sea of Chaos". Best guess is that they're talking about the Icefire Canopy, the lower part of the area.

Do you know where the second sigil is? I feel like I must have skipped it at some point because it would blow the map wide open if I could find it.

>>15234242

Where was Vedfolnir? I saw his name come up. Was that the two perched birds boss, or what?

>Icefire canopy

I had a feeling this might be where I'm looking for - and I did just run into Ratatoskr again, but I have no idea how to activate the area. I've visited all but one room, however. Probably stuff related to Surtr

>Second Sigil

I can't remember where I saw it, sorry. I know where the third one is. Icefire Canopy, near the top left Maybe it was in the Battlefield?

Okay found Kujata

There's literally two rooms with Tablets about him and one is named Kujata Room

I didn't find it for so long because I had to talk to an NPC. This may be important to some anons later, they seem to activate shit more often in this game

>>15234272

>Was that the two perched birds boss, or what?

The one below the wall of spikes next to the Mantra tablet in Icefire Treetops, yeah. Maybe I'm just approaching it the wrong way or something but the motherfucker won't die, maybe you're supposed to kill the little bird first.

>I know where the third one is.

I have a feeling it's like LM1 where you have to get them in order, but it's worth a shot.

>>15234290

>Maybe I'm just approaching it the wrong way or something but the motherfucker won't die, maybe you're supposed to kill the little bird first.

There's a software that shows boss HP, and it only went down when you hit the smol one, yeah.

And I did need to activate the first sigil to unlock an area to get the second seal.

>>15234290

I think that the small bird shares its healthpool with the large one. I hard-focused on the small one and they both died at once.

>>15234311

>>15234306

>it only went down when you hit the smol one, yeah.

Well there's an hour wasted, then

>From the holy trinity of meteoroidvanias, the "Wisdom" version

Anon, did you confuse Jesus with the tri-force of Wisdom?

and metroid with giant space rocks?

Alright, found the second sigil, I didn't check the map enough to realize a room I was looking for was one I'd already visited.

>>15234369

One of those mantra busts is in Annwfn F-5, I just passed it

>>15234432

Is that the greenish one with the bust of Mimir? Just got the item from there.

Interestingly, the chest on the screen to the left seems to need a seal and double jump to access

Looking at the global achievments, people have just started to defeat Jormungand and also get the Feather within the last two hours or so

>>15234497

I think I might skip out on threads at this point, then, I don't want to worry about being spoiled or feeling pressured to keep up the pace. I'm figuring Jormungand will be wrapped up by tonight, but all the same, I've waited for this game for a long time and I want to take it all in.

>>15229948

Where do you find the claw, just the area its in please. I feel very stuck and I feel like I missed it because I see atleast 3 places where I could use it.

>>15234580

The claw? Again, I'm having trouble remembering where things were. I want to say either Valhalla or Annwfn, or perhaps an area you access from them. I think it was in a zone that surprised me.

>>15234585

I;ve search both of those top to bottom with everything I think I could access

>>15234589

I think I had it before I fought Nidhogg, sometime before the first and second guardian, and I had at least the first seal. But I really can't remmeber the area.

>>15234580

Icefire Treetop, one to the right and then down from the entrance from Yggdrasil.

>>15234614

I'm missing something major, I don't have that area found. I've got two sigils and three ankhs done. Is it unlocked by beating nidhogg because I skipped him because he seemed too hard.

>>15234653

Yeah, there's tablets in the Yggdrasil area that tell you Icefire Canopy is past Nidhogg. His AI is pretty simple, just observe his pattern and try to survive

>>15234653

defeating niddhogg unlocks icefire treetop.

Anyone remember mentions of a Golden Sickle?

It might be just me, but I just got the grapple claws in FireIce and I'm supposed to be able to grapple walls and shimmy around shinny pillars but the grapple claws don't seem to be working at all by simply jumping toward a wall like La-Mulana 1. I tried taking off the gloves and using the claws that way but that doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong? I hope my game is not bugged out.

>>15235473

You have to hold UP while you do it

Okay here's a spoiler with the solution to what I think is a bullshit puzzle

In the Gate of the Dead which leads to Ra , you have to break a number of seals. They're on white pedestals which punishes you if you use a weight. The solution? You have to use fucking Pepper on them.

According to the forums, there's a tablet somewhere that says this but I never saw it.

Does it have RPG mechanics like stats and levels?

>>15236392

Nope. Sometimes enemies drop "exp" which heals you to Max when you fill up the bar under your HP, but other than that the game is pure exploration and combat.

>>15236392

Just saying right now that La-Mulana has a very niche audience in mind. There is no way you can properly play La-Mulana if you are not giving it full attention since you can easily miss something that you could have gotten an hour ago. Get a notebook and jot notes of literally anything that you think matters because this game does not joke around.

>>15236392

The only thing close to stats would be sacred orbs that increase your health, and different weapons having different damage values.

>>15235505

Thanks mate! That's so counter-intuitive and the item description should tell you this, but whatever.

Any hints for the Scalesphere? I've talked to the guy who instructs you to go to The Underworld, and explored and mapped all rooms in Yggdrasil's Roots, the Icefire Treetop, and some rooms in the eternal Battlefield, but while I know the location of several treasure chests, I can't find any way to open them.

More specifically, how do you open the treasure chest in the Icefire Treetop which is to the right of the giant ice pillar?

>>15236987

>Any hints for the Scalesphere?

Sure, you have to defeat something and then the chest will open.

Dont want to read too much thread. Anyone have the GOG version yet?

>>15237433

It mentions the rolling shuriken, not the caltrops though

Any hints on where the 2nd mantra sigil is? I've managed to find a ton of stuff like a boat but I've only managed to fight one of the guardians.

>>15237890

2nd sigil*, not the 2nd mantra.

>>15237873

That's a big dong

>>15237873

Guardian souls, not skulls

Hint for how to use white pedestals: you can almost taste the answer. full spoiler: put pepper on them. Felt like something people could easily miss because of not getting the item, took me multiple hours of doing other parts of the temple to think of it while I'd had it all the time.

>>15237890

>>15237894

I think it was in the Shrine of the Frost Giants. Either it was all the way down, when you drop through a really thick layer of snow from the elevator room above or down and to the left, from the save point.

Sorry that I can't be certain, I don't keep notes.

>>15238083

Yeah, realized that about half an hour later. I think I can almost battle Ra now, need to do one more white pedestal.

Kujata is kicking my ass and I need the Djed Pillar to progress. It doesn't help that I lacking the Flare Gun, some Sacred Orbs beyond two, and any main weapon besides vanilla whip and knife. Any tips?

Anyone need a hint?

>>15239325

Kinda. I beat the midboss after you first go through the corridor of blood, the one where you have to push blocks on him.

After that a block came out of the wall a bit, and I can push the blocks around if I re-enter the room

I presume this just opened something up somewhere else, since I can't figure out anything to do here, but I can't find it in the main part of that level either. Is there something I missed here, or do I need to progress more?

>>15239699

That room is actually the key to solving the Frost Shrine. You can push the white block to the left to enter a new chamber. There's a puzzle involving the statues in the room and the mural, which leads deeper into the Shrine

I need a fucking vase badly, anyone know?

>>15238684

Thanks mate for the tip! I still need to find the Gate of the Dead but I guess that shouldn't be too hard.

>>15240011

If you care for a hint

Zone: Immortal Battlefield

Area: Right half

>>15239871

Huh, I could swear I tried pushing that block and nothing happened. Found the stuff behind it, got to the other part of the giants area, but don't see any way to progress past there. There's a pyramid with a chest up top but I can't touch the seal, and the crushing hallway doesn't do anything when I make it past it. The egg I found is mentioned on slabs but doesn't do anything.

That area aside, I found a way into the chaos area through the area with the spinning octagons. Why am I so bad at remembering names. Was hoping to find the cloak and that it'd lessen the damage from poisonlava at least a bit, because that area didn't look fun.

Time to sleep on it, I guess.

>>15240210

There's a funky looking machine though, right?

You need to perform a 3-mantra combination in front of it

This melts the ice in the area

This unlocks a boss, Fenrir, behind the lowest of ice blocks way at the bottom

I have no idea how the fuck to hurt that boss either, I need help with it too

Also

>Deadended in like 5 different areas

>4 ankh jewels waiting to go

>Occasionally solve a puzzle that extends a dead end but never solving it completely

>Ended up finding and activating the 6th boss somehow and can't even compete against it

Wew

>>15240015

Well, I just found it before I came back here. but thanks for the hints anyway.

So where can I pirate this game?

>>15230568

The fuck am I supposed to do with these two files?

In the immortal battleground there is one tablet that says like "Those who can withstand body melting heat will be rewarded" And there is a pool of lava next to it. Well obviously I jumped into the lava with the ice cloak for over a min but nothing happened. Also in that room are two boxes that I need to push to open a chest, but they way they are positioned I can't push them correctly. Any hint?

>>15240734

Sure, and it's worth doing. Trust me, you'll like what you find inside.

You have to push the two blocks onto the two floor depressions, without leaving the screen. The lava is a throughway because it lets you approach at a different angle

>>15240715

Wow the controls are shit.

Oh God fuck the Underworld

I would caution folks about using the weapon fairy in certain areas.

In takamagahara shrine, if you use the weapon fairy fighting Daji, they'll chop the chest open, making Daji disappear permanently, preventing you from ever getting the treasure

>>15242283

can you tell me how you managed to summon the ankh? I could use that knowledge to progress.

>>15242283

>>15242461

Same.

As far as I can tell, you need the Dinosaur Statue to go into the backside of the area, but I have no idea where that is kept, or even if it's in the IB. There's also some bullshit with the Clay Suit and the Vase and the Cog and I know where the suit is, but no idea how to access that particular area.

>>15242461

You have to acquire the Dinosaur Idol through the alternate Immortal Battlefield entrance and going through the door it opens. You can get there by going through Icefire Treetop

>>15242741

I've been through that door a lot. I think I've literally opened up every passage in the area, except for that one. Fucking hell

Like its actually IN the Battlefield, and not like the Takamagahara Shrine, right?

I found it. Motherfucker. That took me HOURS across days to find it.

>>15243200

I've found three boxes like that so far. Can you only open them with backer keys?

>>15243382

They said the costumes aren't backer exclusive, so there has to be some way to get the keys in the game itself.

>>15243386

If you don't have what you need, come back later! This will be long after you've forgotten about it.

You need the Earth Spears, perhaps something else..

>>15243391

Thanks, anon. I don't know what that item is, so I'll screw around some other room I'm also stuck on.

>>15243395

One tip I can give you: hit any wall that looks even a little bit suspicious, with long range weapons if you need to.

If dust falls of it you can break it completly.

Be careful in rooms with the glowing eyes though

>>15243395

Early on, it's fairly linear up to the first two bosses or so. After you beat the third boss, I don't exaggerate when I say any of the others can probably be beaten in any order. You will find branches upon branches upon branches and a massive number of hints from tablets, NPCs, skeletons and anything else. WRITE THEM DOWN.

>>15243588

I knew that you could use the Beherit to turn the wheel, but I thought you had to travel along the pentagram. It's a compass, right? Turns out it's just a wheel of locations and each point is +1, or +2, etc

>>15242710

>>15242741

son of a fucking bitchass biscuit.

I keep having these "the solution was easy, I'm stupid" feeling all the time.

not only that, I found out something else going through there too, so I guess that means I'm warming up to be a proper exploerer

>>15244086

Did you find the Dinosaur Statue? I didn't realize the trigger to open the chest for the longest time.

Now I've got all the sacred orbs, 7/12 skulls, 5/9 guardians (with one open), the Underworld unlocked, and a bunch of other shit. I feel like I'm just past the midgame, about half done now.

Kickass doesn't have the GoG version yet. Anyone got a hand?

I'm trying to find the last white pedestal in the Gate of the Dead, it's clearly in the Room of Decapitation because there's an active blue eye there for no apparent reason. The problem is, I don't know how to reveal it.

>>15244923

I think you needed to chant a Mantra in there Try Sun

Holy fuck, anyone reach Ancient Chaos yet? There's a puzzle involving the statue of Brahma there, and it spans clues and locations across the whole fucking map. I had several of the disconnected hints and sort of put them together, but eventually I looked at a solution.

Here's a hint:

>You need Egg of Creation

>Look out for tablets that say Brahma asked [god] what Creation meant

>Look out for tablets that mention the Indian ages, eg Kali Yuga

>Also look out for those spinning colored wheels

There's like 4-5 layers of indirection for what you need to get done.

Why are my DS4 with DS4 windows controls are so shit? I cant use my D pad because moving left or right does 2 button actions at the same time and so do some other buttons like pressing [] does jump and whip at the same time..?

/v/ is filled with trendhopping faggots, God. Look at all of you talking about this game. You would literally never care about this type of game if it wasn't for its meme status (well, the status of its prequel). I bet none of you have even played Maze Of Galious.

>>15245349

Nigger, I played and beat the remake 7 years ago and waited 5 patient years for this to come out, go fuck yourself.

>>15243681

Each point is related literally to the points on that star. So going straight down from Valhalla goes to the underworld, but going straight down from the Frost Giants takes you to Chaos.

>>15245349

You sound like an impertinent child who is upset that another kid on the playground has the same action figure he does. Instead of realizing that you are among friends who enjoy the same things you do, you are so wrapped up in your ego and self-grandeur that you must puff out your chest and assert yourself as the 'true' fan.

You do only yourself a disservice by doing so.

>>15229273

You big fucking baby.

Does anyone happen to have a hint for what this so called treasure of the dwarves to help fight rushing water is supposed to be and where it is?

I know it isn't Frey's Ship, as far as I know.

>>15246075

Apologist.

Just a heads up, if you want the pyramid item, then the intended solution of using the Earth mantra by the Golden Rock statue head is currently bugged and won't work. You have to cheese it with the Holy Grail.

>>15246610

Lore: All of the 5th children are "dwarves"

The item is the anchor. It is located in a zone accessible from Immortal Battlefield. The entrance is on the right half. Its a treasure in this new zone.

>>15246781

Thats not how I got it.

I used the mantra to make a platform and then broke the wall with earth spears. Then i broke the pillar and went in the hidey hole with the item. Theres a time fire the next screen over so i thought you needed to stop time.

Also anyone know what triggers the funeral?

>>15248716

I think it's a certain amount of progress, because the funeral gives you the Talisman, and right after the funeral happened I started finding chests that needed to be decursed

>>15229106

3 gigs? Is it mandatory to download the soundtrack in FLAC format?

>>15249002

I found the thing for Mjolnir. Is it a necessary item? It needs the Death Sigil so I wonder if that itself was the trigger. Sigils are pretty "core" to progression in both games.

>just got the grenades

>can't think of anywhere that may have hinted at ever requiring it

>>15248693

huh. If it is that item, then I used a different method with the clay garb. I did manage to find a chest in Gate of the Dead, but I have yet to solve where this so called dwarves hidden mechanism is.

>>15248716

>hidey hole

That stupid thing didn't work the first time I used it, so I decided to just cheese the trap.

>>15249938

>the Mjolnir

Very much so! For example, you need it to double jump.

Anyone know how to get to the true entrance of Chaos?

>>15251268

Oh no, I mean, you get Mjolnir and later, an upgrade to it that lets the lightning auto aim at enemies from a cursed chest. You actually don't even need Mjolnir for the Feather since you can use a spirit to clip to the higher platform.

People on the Steam forums are discussing whether it's possible to beat the game without the CoB, since it "invites the end" and avoid it entirely.

>>15254854

Well I missed it apparently. I don't think it's helping anyway though. I'm still not finding any clues as to where to get the item to let me move blocks. I'm really close to giving up, breaking down, and asking here. I've gone through pretty much everywhere I have access to 3 times. Each time i've found another dead end that's solved with pushing blocks.

Also, I have backer keys. It's one of two games I've ever backed on kickstarter, because I trusted Nigoro to give me quality.

Why do the Sages and Xelpud not know about how big the Giants were? Do they not know that they were giant robots?

>>15255102

I want to say Valhalla but I can't remember since that was like 50+ hours ago for me. The one hint I can give you though, is that it might have been Annwfn, because I remember there being a white block with a tablet explaining it - it should be found in that zone or an adjacent one

>>15255144

I'm thinking of that one chest in Valhalla, where there's a small corridor with a shooting turret at the end, and you have to face away from it to open the box for a few seconds but other than that one, I really can't remember

Notable bullshit:

the above about the blocks in Ice Giants

getting atop the Spiral Boat from Chamber of Malice with a Key Fairy

summoning the final boss requires all the mantras together, but I don't think anything tells you this. Conversely, the part about "Sun and Moon; the stars cannot illuminate it alone; reveals its true form" was neat

the fucking Eternal Prison ~ Doom hidden room to Osiris and Anubis as well as the hint that doesn't tell you to do it in front of the Yuga wheel

I remember figuring out super early that the Annwfn star corresponded to the Corridor of Blood and trying to align them early. This was back when I only had access to Valhalla.

As much as I wanna put effort into cleanup, I don't think I will until it comes out on GNU/Linux. Just not worth rebooting into Wangblows.

>>15255647

>summoning the final boss requires all the mantras together

I've already solved it and I'm not that far yet. It's the part about excessive power and how two or three tablets describe it or tell you not to use it. Also how it shows up in the Alfr prophecy tablets, and Giltoriyo/Freya telling you about how Beherit is important to sealing the ruins.

Also where the fuck is the Light Scythe?

Oh yeah and another glitch that's interesting is you can currently grapple or just get bumped up onto the ledge where the Feather is, without bothering with the boss. Devs confirmed that it was not intended, but not sure if they'll patch it out.

>>15256811

Oh my…Ya I damaged boosted to get that item…Did I sequence break?

>>15256845

I just got it too…I'm worried I'm going to be doing shit super out of order now.

>>15256753

i think I remember a tablet dedicated to "excessive power" (not the prophecy one), but never gave it a thought; where was it?

And the Light Scythe is one of the things I had to look up; look for hidden rooms in Eternal Prison ~ Doom

>>15256870

>Light Scythe is in the Underworld

>You can't "properly" enter it without killing Surtr, getting the Power of Flame, and defeating the miniboss, then going through the soul door, which needs the Light Scythe

Okay I guess a Corridor-less run is impossible then.

>>15256845

>>15256854

You're supposed to enter the Corridor to Dark Lord, then fight the frog miniboss, using Mjolnir to crush him to death

>>15256886

I do wonder how early you can get to Hel, though. Conceivably you only need 5 guardians, which have to be Nidhoggr (duh), Vritra (for Beherit), Jormungand (for Feather), Surtr (for Killing Vidofnir and entering properly), and Kujata (for the Djed Pillar)

>>15256922

Do you mind spoiling me on how to get to Anubis though? Or even, pointing me towards the tablet that explains how?

>>15256967

I don't understand what you mean "get to Anubis," the poison? You have what you need.

>>15223427

> an ancient evil has awakened

I laughed. I don't know why.

>>15257001

I am under the impression that Anubis is an NPC and gives you 3 riddles to solve. I don't know how to progress.

>>15257063

He's in the secret Duat Room in Eternal Prison ~ Doom

If you want a more direct hint, the room to the right of the Yuga Wheel

>>15257100

I thought I had to use mantras or bombs or some shit. I didn't realize it was there because it wasn't on the map. I knew it was called the Duat room because of a tablet, but didn't realize it was over that way.

Two more questions if you don't mind

I found the mantra in the old Inferno Cavern on the surface, but it says I need to use Specialized Software, yet the SNAP.exe doesn't pick it up. What gives? Someone said a hint was the room name (Echidna's Room) but I'm drawing a blank

Where is the tablet that describes the process of fealty to the Dark Lord?

>>15257139

The hints for the Inferno Cavern mantra are in two tablets:

In Chamber of Malice, I think the bottom of the pit: Scream a wish before Echidna's Altar

In (I think) Takamagahara: The land of Echidna's worship lies within the lands of the Mother

I don't remember which tablet tells you about the fealty, but there I think was one that said that it's hidden in the Dark Lord's footprints. I figured it out on my own though. Tried getting Maat's Feather with it.

>>15257145

I guess that's as good as anything. Wonder if it says 過ぎる力 in Japanese like the prophecy tablet does though.

Interestingly, attempting to use all mantras at once results in instadeath outside of the final boss room

>>15257167

Thanks. I really should've kept better track of mantra tablets as I was finding them.

Simple question, regarding Alfr prophecy IV

>She sees the final land's vortex, a heavy price being paid. And then a memory of the final gate being pryed upon. By excessive power and the price it demands, and murderous, blood-drenched intent.

Does this relate to the last gate at Hel's Underworld, where you die instantly and it has the scythe on it? Because if I activate all the Mantras, I get a similar scythe-like animation that kills me. Or does it relate to Mother and Spiral Hell?

>>15257386

Okay so that's more or less what I had in mind, then

>>15257615

I die to the sub bosses a lot more compared to the main guardians. Something about them seem easier this time around.

Waited a few years for this, really loved the first one, and it runs extremely slowly as soon as I start the game, though the opening movie runs perfectly. Also I played the goddamn demo about a month ago and it was perfect also, absolutely no slowdown.

This is one of my favorite games, fuck my life….this has to be some software issue, not an issue of pure power, right? I can play the demo right now, no problem, but the real game is like moving through molasses.

I am real fucking confused about how this underworld scythe puzzle is supposed to work. If I want to get the power of flame, I must first get the scythe. But to get that, I need to supposedly get Maat's feather as proof of judgement to speak to Anubis, in order to begin his trials? That begs the question, where and how the hell do I get Maat's feather?

>>15257615

As kind of bullshit I thought Surtr was, it was a pretty cool fight. I got to Icefire Treetop before I killed Nidhogg, so seeing him in battle so far after seeing him in the background was cool.

>>15258640

The game really needs a patch. I can kind of forgive it because I've been playing it ad nauseam and probably wouldn't encounter so many if I wasn't so eager to finish it, but the slowdown in relatively empty rooms is pretty unforgivable. Pretty sure the demo runs on the engine from the first game, whereas the full game runs on Unity.

>>15260285

Have you been to the Underworld yet?

>>15260387

I have. I just managed to find Maat's feather, finally. I went to Anubis. he gave me his three riddles I now have to solve

magnet where?

>>15260511

Were you able to figure out the Anubis puzzles?

Keep in mind, one is translated wrong and lacks the critical phrase 時代の輪, meaning wheel of ages

I just got filtered

>>15262117

>you should learn a dying language for a dying medium in a dying world

>>15261958

I did. One part of that puzzle was too vague, being the silent encant riddle. Now, I may see why if it was due to a mistranslation.

Now I'm all the way back to figuring how this Underworld gates puzzle work after achieving a bunch of progress.

>>15262288

If you get stuck with that, remember that Ratatoskr is Hraesvelgr's soul and you start the prophecy from 2

>>15262383

Wow so they actually did fix their fuckup in the remake? How is it that other anon couldn't figure it out?

>>15262555 (checked)

Because it's a config menu locked to the title screen, which it really shouldn't be.

Tried running the game through PlayOnLinux but controllers are a bitch to get working, so I gave up and played on windows. When I rebooted into Linux to try again and figured out binding keys, it ran too poorly to give serious thought to playing more

I think my save may be permanently bugged and progressing being impossible. I assume there was meant to be a trigger to allow me to get the anchor puzzle unlocked from the dwarf siblings, but every time I go to divine fortress, I can only talk to Brokkr, never Eitri

>>15262683

I think I recall a workaround to this being to enter the door as it's rotating

>Release Date: 07/2018 Protection: Steam

The fuck? Does this have Steam DRM? And if so, how did Nigoro fuck up like this? The La-Mulana remake had no DRM even on the Steam version, I always used to point to it as an example of games using Steam's cheevo cancer without necessarily having DRM.

>>15262879

According to Playism it's DRM-free, so I think >>15262086

just set up a torrent for the Steam version like a dumbass.

>>15262933

Have you made your way into the right side of Annwfn? What about talked to the other NPC there besides Frey?

>>15262828

Holy shit, it worked. Thanks, anon.

>>15262971

i dont know how to reach the right partand i made the ankh appear

>>15262984

Have you gotten the rolling shuriken? What about calling Mulbruk over to Annwfn?

>>15263003

did both she's now bondaged in a room i cannot reach

>>15263007

Read the Xelputter post about where she went again

>>15262879

Steam is literally DRM, that's what it meant

>Spiral Hell

Oh no, these layouts, why

Also, is it just me or does the final boss seem less memorable than in LM1?

>>15264099

I agree. I noticed that the final phase isn't incremental like in the first game, where each amout of damage add's another guardian's attack, like a sort of mini 8 phases. I wonder if on hard mode I'd still kill it before it gets a chance to do Hel's attack.

Also in one phase, contact did only 1 damage, versus it taking like 32 for the Mother

And done. I'm going to run through again at least once if not twice this week to revisit anything, but in the end I thought it lived up to the original, even if it felt like one step forward and two steps back at times, especially towards the end.

I was hopping mad that I hardlocked myself out of what I assume is the Hell Temple equivalent by doing the Corridor of Blood Prophecy too early and locking myself away from one of the Yuga Rings.

>>15264099

It's not just you. I liked that the brought back a mid-boss puzzle like in the original LM1, but it was too much of a retread of the same concept to stand on its own identity. That and the fact that you can stand on a platform and spam the flail whip to practically decimate the motherfucker in five seconds really gutted the longevity that I remember from the Mother fight. Bosses in general are balanced very strangely, they really need to reconsider the health pools. The hardest boss in the game to kill was that fucking crab while the final boss and the last two guardians go down without a fight.

Damn nigger you've been busy

>>15265209

>I agree. I noticed that the final phase isn't incremental like in the first game, where each amout of damage add's another guardian's attack, like a sort of mini 8 phases.

Does it not? I'm pretty sure it does, there are images in the background to suggest that, it just goes by too quickly.

>I wonder if on hard mode

It unfortunately doesn't make much of a difference

>>15262086

>translation errors

Was there more than one? That Anubis Riddle was the only time I needed help

>>15268551

I recall having difficulty with Jormungandr, but yeah, some bosses need more health and some minibosses (looking at you Fenrir) need less. At least in Spiral Hell they cut the shit out with the OHKO.

Do the Yugas actually do anything? I never found a use for them except being tangentially connected to Brahma

>>15268641

Also, you can get back to that half of Eternal Prison ~ Doom by just going through the Hraesvelgr gate below the grail point in Eternal Prison ~ Gloom
