I think you're misremembering, because not only does it make fighting a lot of enemies and bosses easier, it's also the best way to bounce on the springy purple mushroom ball things, instead of trying to time your jumps.

Organza Quiz posted:This absolutely does not get used a lot later on, it's essentially a speedrunner technique that is only necessary in the extremely optional stupidly hard platforming challenge area. It's a useful technique for fighting some types of enemies but if you are doing it to get somewhere or do something you are sequence breaking. There's definitely a part to use that normally to bounce off of some tall, invincible bugs that just move back and forth above a pit or spikes or something, isn't there?

It's been a long time since I played it, but there's some ball-shaped bug enemies walking over water that basically only exist to be bounced off of and other sections where you go through spikey hallways and bounce off gigapedes to get an optional item or two. I'm not sure it's ever strictly required to beat the game, but it's definitely not some crazy obscure trick only speedrunners and completionists use. I know it's saved me a couple deaths when missing platforms and stuff too. I wasn't sure about even mentioning it since I think everyone picks up on it after spending a while with the game, but the game also doesn't tutorialize much and I don't think it works on the thorns in greenpath at the start of the game, which could be misleading.

I replayed the game recently and you definitely need to pogo quite often in the late game, it's not at all a speedrunner technique and I'm sure the game points it out as something you should learn E: I am 90% sure you need to do it to get through the white palace endgame level but this is not a "before I play" hint, it's a "I am at the end of the game and stuck on an advanced mechanic" hint Lunchmeat Larry fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Oct 30, 2022 |

Ok I'm misremembering that there's a couple of other places in the game where you can get optional collectibles by doing it, but you definitely don't need it to finish the game and I think it could discourage a new player if they think it's going to become an important necessary technique.

girl dick energy posted:Are you trying to tell me that you beat the Mantis Lords without ever pressing attack while in the air, but that “use sword while jumping” is an advanced technique to you? If so, you are an impressively patient person but I am mildly concerned about the state of your manual dexterity. There's a huge difference between attacking enemies in the air and traversing distances by timing multiple chained jump-downswings repeatedly in a very particular rhythm. I didn't realise this would be so controversial an opinion!

It's been a while but I remember pogoing to be pretty easy because the arc of your swing is fairly big (and can be made even bigger with a charm) so getting the timing right isn't all that hard. It's very generous in that regard.

I'm a few levels in and the biggest thing I can recommend is to use your shock sticks because you're going to find a lot of them. Also if you haven't had to use them yet remember that health packs heal over time, so don't use three at once expecting to go blue and overheal. Mild mechanical spoiler level 1 Dead enemies don't stay dead Level 2 you can find limited use items later that fix that.

I didn't realise this would be so controversial an opinion! Though this did jog my memory that when I played hollow knight on switch, it was also around the time when I’d decided to get a second controller with a d-pad for some of my 2-d games. The thumb sticks were noticeably less reliable about registering “down” rather than “down-forward”, which would send the sword swing in the wrong direction. Then I’d usually have the long nail as part of my default charm setup, which gives a bit more of a timing window.

Morpheus posted:Goddamnit Yeah you really want to be going around enemies as much as physically possible. Which is usually possible, you'd be surprised how deaf a lot of them are. Throw in their scream animation and you can sprint past them a lot of times if you can't just normally walk around them.

yook posted:There’s stuff like the coliseum of fools too. Sure but coliseum, especially the later ones, is a late game area. It just seemed strange to me to advise a newbie to learn to pogo as a thing they will need to know that gets used a ton in the game, but I guess it's possible I just never really paid much attention to it as a technique even in late game.

It’s weird that you’re worried about scaring off a new player by mentioning it when you’re the only one trying to make it sound scary and difficult. You see a spike, you can downslash it to get a bounce. That’s it, that’s the whole thing.

I think that’s enough discussion about a single mechanic, tbh. Just make a one sentence “downward strike on an enemy (and some spikes) while in the air will give you a bounce and reset double jump/dash” or something similar should be sufficient imo

Avoiding enemies when I can, especially the ones that don't notice me. Combine the health patches with repair sprays to make Spray+'s. You'll see a revolver behind glass early on, just ignore it. The one you can actually get is later in the game. Most enemies can simply be evaded, they're slow as hell and ammo is limited. Walk softly to sneak behind them, or just sprint by if you gotta. It's only really worth putting down the Replikas (by choice I mean, not immediate survival) that're in the "hub" rooms leading off everywhere near your save room just for breathing space. And if you're gonna use a flare, those are the ones to burn.

Avoiding enemies when I can, especially the ones that don't notice me. Always stuff key items into your box until you figure out what to use it on to save space for supplies you might find. Passageways directly next to save points is usually a good place to burn enemies so they don't respawn. You can exploit the infinite saves and just reload if you messed up, so save frequently. You can fine adjust your aim by pushing the right stick forward and then slowly turning it until you get a lock on.

Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord just released on PS4. I put a bunch of hours into Warband but this game is different enough that my old strats don't work here. I'm now a hundred man mercenary band with about 60k in the bank and a few workshops. Not sure which kingdom I want to throw in with yet. Any mid-game tips for success? Besieging castles and towns looks like it's a lot more in-depth than sending a bunch of huscarls up a single ladder. How do I start to pull together the numbers required to really accomplish stuff, begin a conquest for world domination, etc?

Bloodcider posted:Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord just released on PS4. I put a bunch of hours into Warband but this game is different enough that my old strats don't work here. You need to create additional parties led by your followers to get numbers higher. They will go around and recruit and train their own armies, and then you can call them to follow you. You can also form an Army when you're a vassal by spending influence (which is gained by doing things while a vassal) to call other lords to fight. It's similar to how the marshal in Warband would call people in, but this actually creates a single group that moves as one and shares food etc. Also check your clan window and make sure you are assigning followers into roles within your party so that their skills are actually put to use. A strong steward as a quartermaster will increase your troop limit etc. You're really handicapping yourself by being a mercenary company and not a vassal, too. There is a lot kore involved with being a part of a kingdom now, and you'll need the support if you really want to get anything done. Also think about getting caravans going, that's where the real money is. Sandwich Anarchist fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Nov 1, 2022 |

Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling - Berries put into the bank in the Ant Kingdom generate interest, compounding about every half hour of game time. Investing early and often is extremely worth your while. - Crystal Berries are eventually spent at a secret shop. There are enough Crystal Berries in the game to buy everything in that shop, so don't worry about wasting them. - The only missables attached to the Hard Mode medal are the achievements for defeating chapter bosses with it equipped. The medals Artis would have given you for defeating bosses and minibosses with it equipped are added to the traveling caravan's inventory, so you can purchase them that way.

Potionomics The End Turn button will always display the exact number of turns you will lose, if the customer is going to remove additional turns it will update to reflect that total. No maths required. With Customer Requests, pay attention to not only the potion quality requested but the sensations needed (i.e. good taste, good looks). These are the minimum requirements. If you need to buy ingredients to fulfill a customer request then you're likely to lose money on it, only taking requests from named characters in these cases is the best bet as completing it will increase your relationship with them. Enchantments apply to existing potions as well as ingredients, potions brewed under the effects of an enchantment will not retain the bonuses. Enchantments will not satisfy the requirements for a customer request. You technically only need two good potions to win each competition, it's a best out of three situation. You keep the potions you present in each competition. You don't get to keep any of the prize money from a competition win. Don't take on dead relatives debt kids. Two units of time will pass while you sleep, don't waste your fuel on knocking the timer down past that. You can check your relationship levels in the Deck Builder screen. Relationship levels 4 and 8 will grant you coupons for their respective business. Gardening is well worth the investment once it becomes available. Sending heroes out on quests is key, it's absolutely something to focus in order to unlock new ingredients.

If you only want to make a few edits remember that you can post about them here, or send an email to the address listed on the wiki homepage.
