If an enemy attacks upward, it does make it hard to avoid them by jumping over them.

The boss and mini-boss attacks weren't completely patched out, they were just made exclusive to hard mode.  One fun fact about Phaia(the boar lady mini-boss), after she splits up you sometimes see a spark of light fly from her to the boar or vice-versa. Only the one with that spark will take damage.

Ayyy, great to have this LP back. It's great to have one that goes through the steps for how you're supposed to get the clues to solve everything. The other LP by Highwang is great, too, though.

I keep misreading this thread title as "whip wails, pit fails". But yeah, one thing did change in the patch if you haven't gotten around to dealing with ___Hel___ yet: They removed the exit-only door from EP Doom that's 3 screens away from her and that was 1 screen up from the doppelganger. Make sure to take the first option when you get to her to warp out once before engaging or you'll end up in a soft lock with no way out since you won't be able to get use of the Grail back. Mind you, this may have been intended since one of the tablets has always warned "Do not face her in the nakedness of innocence.", but until the patch that was easy enough to not get punished over due to that exit.

Another reason why you can't show the egg to Odin, is becuse Odin is not a person in La-mulana 2, but the name for the ruling party of Aesir, so Ymir must be the thing you show the egg to.

wheel of time definitely is kind of a 'guilty pleasure' sort of book series. there's a lot of neat little worldbuilding details and after a point it's easy enough to just kind of let the absolute stupid excess of characters and whatever wash over you and not worry too much about it, but then you run into the bits where the author was really clearly horny and decided to add things to go with that and it's mildly jarring.

Oh goddammit I didn't realize you could move the eye lasers by hitting them. I'd been wondering what the one stupid thing I missed was.AweStriker posted:I know the blue beasts respond to all projectiles. Not sure about melee weapons. Yeah, I did it with the shurikens. If you stand off-center, you can make the long throw and still have time to turn around and throw the other one so they hit at the same time. It's still a pretty tight window but it's doable.

Wheel of time has some real obvious faults but I'll maintain that the stuff it does right it does really right and it can be worth sifting through all the crap just for that.

Oooh, glad to see this is back.MatteusTheCorrupt posted:Another reason why you can't show the egg to Odin, is becuse Odin is not a person in La-mulana 2, but the name for the ruling party of Aesir, so Ymir must be the thing you show the egg to. Also as for the Brahma puzzle, it's less creator deities and more the primordial essence that all others came from. I can't speak for the Japanese one, but the other four are indeed the Primordial Deity that all other creation sprang from. For the Norse Ymir was the first being who arose out of the chaos and gave birth to the giants, eventually leading to Odin and his brothers who slew him and made the universe out of his corpse. Abzu is the primordial god of fresh water who came into being along with his consort Tiamat, the primordial goddess of salt water. They filled creation with their waters, until one day the god Anu arose, and from him came the other gods. Eventually the god Marduk rose up and slew Abzu to usurp his place as lord of the entire universe. Enraged, Tiamat bore eleven children (which were the minibosses from the first La Mulana) and attempted to kill Marduk to avenge her husband. With the aid of the other gods, Marduk prevailed and formed the Universe out of her corpse. Chaos on the other hand is less a god and more the boundless, eternal void at the beginning from which arose Gaia, Nyx and Erebus. And from them came the Titans and then the gods. Atum, unlike the other actual gods I mentioned, does not have an antagonistic role with his creation. Again, he is the first being that arose out of nothingness. Depending on the story he either sneezed or masturbated, and this action created the physical universe, as well as the first two gods Shu and Tefnut, and from them the rest of the Ennead and then the rest of the Egyptian deities. As a benevolent creator he was worshipped along with his progeny rather than reviled as a demon like Ymir and Abzu/Tiamat. In fact it was not an uncommon belief that like the gods all of creation, including humanity, were divine as they were all part of Atum.

RaspberryCommie posted:I fought Surtr so many times, and I never noticed the runes spelling "SURTR" on his arms. There are a couple of proper uses of runes in LM2 in addition to that one. Mantras spray their mantra words in when they're used, and of course the right side of the UI says "LAMULANA". I was sad there was no proper Futhark puzzle to go with all that, though.

The new Surtr fight looks boring. It used to be that he was highly manipulated into doing things based on where you are. You jumped in front of him and he peeks his head out or you avoid him and he throws a tantrum and tons of rocks fall from the sky nonstop. He was so enjoyable as a giant manbaby when you got the strategy down. People forgot that the claws could stick to those pillars and when he walked off screen to punch you, you could easily avoid it and if a rock falls on you, you took a few damage and that rock turned into a platform. Old version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81xABO3WbDg
