I tried that on him and had mixed results, I kept slamming into the adds. Anyway, running low on stuff to do in the endgame after clearing The Abyss, The Hive, and the White Palace. The latter was not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Heard the sawblades and thought "I've played enough Super Meat Boy to know where this is going." It was actually pretty fun aside from a few sections that relied a bit too much on the double-jump.

morcant posted:I'm actually there right now, so I went to go check. Can confirm using the Dream Nail gets you "...Our voices... will cry out... again..." Still, using the Dream Nail here might not be terribly clear to everyone. Just dream nail everything everywhere, there's a surprising amount of stuff that reacts to it. For example all the corpses on the path to Nosk.

I've know I've talked some poo poo about this game on and off because tbh sometimes it grates my nerves, but I really think it's probably the best game in the genre. Even edging out my beloved vanias and metroids.

I did everything in this game when it came out and haven't touched it since, so going back into the Switch version with all the new content has been wonderful. I love all the boss/enemy tweaks, and the new bosses are fantastic: Nightmare King Grimm, Grey Prince Zote, and White Defender are just below The Radiance as my favorite fights in the game. I just love how tight the controls are. Every input happens exactly when I intend it to, and takes me exactly where I intended to be. It's hard to overstate how satisfying it feels. Sometimes I'll skip out on using the stag station and dash, double jump, and pogo through the stages. There aren't many games that make me want to do things like that. puppets freak me out fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Jun 24, 2018 |

Bogart posted:Portrait of Ruin is pretty good tho Yeah. I mean, from a map design perspective I think the better CV games are on par with Hollow Knight. But I do think HK map design is as good as CV or Super metroid, while having more enjoyable gameplay. I'm gonna have to reflect on it after I finish it to make sure I'm not being hyperbolic.

I was sad that Dream Nailing the fountain that gives you the Shadow Dash doesn't do anything other than give you cryptic messages. I Dream Nailed it at one point and its message implied that I had to come back with the Void Heart but even doing so after acquiring said item didn't do anything.

Here’s a pro tip. Dump all your money into the fountain not knowing what it’s for, that way you are broke and can’t afford to buy the area map that’s right nearby...

I don't think it's been mentioned in thread, but reddit found a quick-money glitch on the Switch version. Step 1) Find a Mossy Knight in Greenpath, let him stab you, and use your i-frames to get directly in his grill. Step 2) Flukenest Step 3) Watch your Switch flip out as 900+ dollars fly out. Apparently there's something going on where Mossy Knights where if they die from multiple damage sources in the same frame, they drop money for each hypothetical death, or something. So that's a lot of dollars.

SirSamVimes posted:3000 geo isn't that absurd tbh There's no indication of how much it expects though. When I first reached it I assumed it would give me something but I also didn't trust it to not just eat all the excess, so I didn't want to throw in my 14k geo.

Yeah, and if it does eat all your geo you can't get the map *or* the only bench in the area.

Tempting but I feel like this game doles out money at a pretty balanced rate and I don't really feel like cheesing anything. Those guys are the best for farming already though it's gonna be hard to resist when I'm trying to get a few extra bux. I always run there when I need a couple hundred extra geo.

I got all the geo I needed for the two more expensive Unbreakable charms in about fifteen minutes with those dudes. And enough for the smith and the offering fountain as well. It's pretty good.

Honestly literally everything in the game feels well-scaled cost-wise apart from the unbreakable charms, like those costs were balanced for someone who's completed the game 100% and spent a bunch of time playing after that to store up geo and had nothing to spend it on for awhile until the DLC landed

But the cost seems about perfectly balanced for acquiring 2 out of the 3 by end-game... and would you look at that, the third one is trash. I would never use Heart over an actually combat-oriented charm. There's no reason for me to acquire it other than sheer completionist urges.

There's also no reason to ever make Greed unbreakable because there's no way you're saving more money than you're spending. How many times would you need to break and repair it to come to the same cost as Unbreakable?

I re-bought this on the Switch and just beat the Soul Master on my first try, took me a load of attempts on PC so I'm super stoked about getting it 1st time. That was pretty much as far as I got so everything after this is new to me. This game is amazing.

Started this game up last night and put an hour or so into it, and I'm not sure if I'm gonna get sunk into it yet. I ran around the Forgotten Crossroads a bit, found the mapmaker, found the merchant, opened up the Stagway station, and ran into a couple dead-ends that look like they need special keys. I also beat up a boss (miniboss?), the Gruzmother, but I didn't seem to get anything out of it. Where do I find the notch thing I need to buy the compass? Not sure where to go now except some more wandering around lost, but I expected to find it by now, or at least some other sort of upgrade. I'll be honest, the map thing might be an issue for me. I'm not a huge Metroidvania fan, but I've enjoyed them here and there (still waiting for a sequel to Shadow Complex) and I've learned that I'm just naturally terrible at remembering how a stage comes together. Without the compass, I am constantly lost and nervous about exploring further because I'm worried about not knowing how to get back. I've already lost track of all the doors and tunnels I've passed up and still need to explore, but I don't know where they were.

You start out with a few notches, and each charm takes up a certain amount of notches each. The compass is a charm, you should have enough notches to wear it right now unless you've found some others already. As to where to get more notches, they're upgrades you'll get throughout the game. They'll be a bit sparse at first.

also a mechanic that i never used myself but i'm sure bolder people than i can make extremely good use of is you can equip one extra charm over the slot limit (like if you have one notch left you can cram a 4 notch charm on) if you try to force it in there a couple of times, however you will take double damage from everything while you're "overcharmed"

I also beat up a boss (miniboss?), the Gruzmother, but I didn't seem to get anything out of it. you start the game with three charm notches. if you've bought the compass, you should be able to equip it. keep in mind that you have to be sitting on a bench to change your charm loadout. you do get something for beating gruzmother. there's an npc in one of the huts on the other side of her boss room. speak to him and he'll relocate to dirtmouth as a shopkeeper your next destination is a room in the centre of the crossroads that you access from the right side of the map. the passage you want is close to the stagway station

The compass was always greyed out in the shop, but I don't think I ever showed up with enough money to buy it. I thought the merchant wanted the money AND the notch point, so I've already blown a bunch of money on the Quill Pen and the Stagway pin thinking that the compass was blocked off til I found a notch.

How many times would you need to break and repair it to come to the same cost as Unbreakable? To be fair the issue with the breaking is less the cost and more the inconvenience of having to visit leg eater to use it again, who isn’t exactly next to a stag station and I prefer to keep dream gates at a stag station or for boss runs. I just finished a completionist run (on pc). I got literally every sell item and geo cache, didn’t ever lose geo to deaths and by the end of the game I had enough geo to buy everything and two of the unbreakables. I also didn’t ever use the greed charm, although I had gathering swarm picking stuff up always. I then decided to clean up the hunters journal (which I never did first play through) and by the time I finished that I was only 2k short for the final one, so the geo farming was only for 2k in the end to get literally everything. Basically, playing normally there is easily enough geo to get everything and at least one unbreakable charm, even factoring in geo losses to deaths and with no farming.
