Finish the story today The finale was excellent, but I feel like it might be a bit to gimmicky for a ironman mode. The game isn't as run based as I hoped but overall it's an excellent product and I hope it's the start of Nintendo letting more good indies play with their ip.

Really enjoying this so far, with no Necromancer experience. I died to a bee at one point. GOTY.

How do I kill the red zoras in that one cave room full of fish, zoras, and bridges? I can’t get in position to hit them with my bow or weapon, and I tried using the boomerangs but it just passes over the zoras. E: Nevermind, I have to open the chest at the back of the room first.

This is extra frustrating in single-character runs because you can't switch, obviously. The leaderboard says I was the 15th to finish single-character permadeath Link which I'm pretty proud of.

I'm varying degrees of 'eehhh' on all of the soundtracks that aren't the "main three" for the three story characters. Synthwave and deferential minimalistic retro that's supposed to be played alongside the main soundtrack and what have you are all impressive interpretations and variations and stuff but i just want more banging tunes

I'm attempting permadeath runs now and so far the furthest I've gotten is like... five screens. They ramp up the difficulty hard when you can meet enemies that pretty much one-shot you right out of the gate.

Speaking of Necrodancer, I got it on sale for switch and should I go through that before getting Cadence, or are they different enough that I could go back and forth if I wanted to? EDIT: Also I am smashing my head on Zone 2 Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jun 15, 2019 |

Holy loving poo poo where the hell is the ice rod and last two heart pieces? I've checked all the dungeons/shops, there aren't any chests left on my over-map, and this is driving me up the goddamn wall. my map and inv here: https://imgur.com/a/4cNv8oA Is it possible to just not get certain items?

You could go back and forth, they share base mechanics but differ wildly. One is a roguelike dungeon crawler meant for quick runs, the other is a randomized short zelda game thats also a rhythm game. In fact, in terms of difficulty, if you wanted a curve cadance is way easier, even including permadeath because it has some really nasty characters you can play as, and its expected of you to try to beat the game playing a character that dies in one hit, can only use a dagger, and will instantly die if you miss a beat.

I was just unpacking in my new apartment yesterday, and my mom came down to help me out. Great, except she described my merchant plush as, quote, "a little racist" This is worse than the time I died to the final boss as Aria

At the start of the game you're struggling with little health and a bad weapon, but by the midgame when you've got a few extra hearts and a better weapon the difficulty all but disappears. In my first playthrough I ended with something like 5400 rupees and 250 diamonds

If you're one of those people bummed that there's not enough replayability in Cadence, pick up Necrodancer. They're both great for different reasons and complement each other pretty well imo. With it on sale right now, getting both for ~$30 is a pretty good deal.

Items that are inside the dungeons won't show up on the overworld map, so maybe double check those if you really want to. That said, I drove myself up the wall for hours looking a few missing things and it seems like it's possible that not every seed ends up with 100% of the items.

Made it to the castle and I'm not sure if I soft-locked the game? I have hover boots so I floated and opened the Royal Rapier chest. But after that I couldn't figure out what to do so I warped back to the start of the dungeon. Now I realize you could destroy the projectile-shooting statues -- was there a trigger that would've let me get to the chest and/or a trigger that flipped a switch so I can get to the Link side of the castle? I destroyed the statues afterwards and nothing triggered I'm hoping I missed something super obvious :|

I found absolutely everything in my first world except that I'm at 14 total Deku Seeds and I'm not sure where the others could be. I guess I should just scour every cave because I may have skipped over caves on tiles that didn't have purple/blue chests or heart pieces. I'm also going to bang my head against permadeath mode until we get extra stuff, which I hope is coming eventually. I appreciate that the monster spawns seem a lot harder in permadeath mode.

If the above hint isn't enough and you want it just spelled out clearly: There's a bombable wall in the lost woods that leads to a cave with 8 Deku Scrubs, it's what got me to 20 to unlock Yves.

I am so confused by Octavo's boss fight lol. Dude whipped my rear end and I would of died if I didn't have a potion. Real good game and it really does get miles easier when you get a long weapon + one or two more hearts. I died like 11 times at the start then I ran through the entire game, every dungeon etc without dying once I feel like Octavo was meant to be playable considering his "I'm good guys, really" story. Though what was up with all the necrodancer stuff in the final dungeon and hyrule castle? I also got a stinger of some darkness rushing to consume the triforce so ???

Well, that solved his problem. I'm still confused as gently caress as to where my two pieces of heart and Ice Rod are though. I'm gonna have to check every map panel for bombable caves and tingle secrets. it'd probably take less fuckin time to replay the drat game with a different random seed.

Confirmed that the second method does work, and probably lets you really cheese some puzzles. Lure an enemy near where you need them, stun them and push them into position with the hookshot, then use the feather to bounce off their head onto a higher platform.

Is it possible to lose your (non-glass) weapons? I ran into a bit of a bug maybe, it's possible to upgrade your weapon to a version that you already own, and then the weapon seemingly gets deleted but you end up with a number in the corner of the inventory screen. Is there any reason you'd ever need 4 titanium spears? Seems like a weird situation but then again I'm not super well versed on the game so maybe there's a reason for it. I always just assumed that the non-glass versions of weapons were permanent in your inventory.

I think it's working as intended. I upgraded one of my spears to emerald and then later found a second one in a chest, but I was allowed to turn one of them into obsidian and have one of each.
