Yeah this is not a game you should to playthrough blind, the sequel is a little friendlier towards playing blind but thing game is notoriously unforgiving.

I definitely never beat this as a kid. Also I think the disc broke at some point... and maybe it wasn't an accident.

I beat the game just fine when it came out, some of the optional quests are ridiculous but well, they're optional. In future playthroughs I was able to get all but one of the sidequests (Where the Barrel Rolls) without help eventually.

Oh it is technically possible to complete the game's story blind but there are multiple areas to explore at the same time after you hit certain milestones is little direction to find said milestones so you end up stumbling around trying to figure out where to go next. This is something that was thankfully fixed in the sequel since areas open up in a linear fashion meaning you always have the means to complete at least the mandatory missions of each either from what you've already done in a previous area or the tasks you're given as soon as you enter.

I loved playing this game blind because there was so much mystery about everything. It's poorly defined and explained what you're meant to do, but the vague directions of "find progressively older men" and "find pig bags, seal pigs" allowed a sense of discovery and figuring things out kind of like a cross between a RPG and a puzzle game. I recently played through as an adult, and I never created the Flower Tower as a kid, so doing it as an adult allowed me to gain that excitement again.

Well I don't have pandering, but I do have delays! That's like pandering right? After several attempts to record this weekend delayed by technical problems and work sucking terribly (oh my god it sucked so bad  ), we will be taking a short pause. Should be updating Tuesday or Wednesday though, soon as we can manage. Sorry about that, feel free to mock me endlessly for being bad at computers.

Nice work making progress, as for the Fire Gem, I do think you needed Lv10 Red, since that was the difference between the last time you failed and the time you did grab it(also it uses a similarly red bar for its charge) and the menu calls those bars "Experience" by name By this line of thinking, I imagine there'll be a Blue and Yellow Crystal as well, Ice and Elec I guess? And they'll need 10 in those colors

Water and wind actually hence why their bars are blue and green respectively.

OK! That's all dealt with (until five minutes from now anyway), so you can resume your silent stares and tossing vegetables and whatnot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-ECMeEMODk This part of the game is... painful. Not bad, just wow, difficulty spike ahoy. If I remember right nothing else in the game has as many pits either.

I'm guessing the parasol would have made those platforming segments in the jungle a little easier? Man, I barely remember the jungle and clock tower--mostly because I spent so much time at the damned mansion.

Man, I barely remember the jungle and clock tower--mostly because I spent so much time at the damned mansion. The parasol is bizarre. It feels like it should help, but the platformer controls are so picky and the level design fits it like a glove, so the floatiness just makes it harder to control. The one part of the windy mountain that always makes me panic is just three non-running hops to the right, but trying to dash or use the parasol just makes it an exercise in killing yourself.

Yeah, this was what I was referring to when I said that this punishes this going in blind with that cave being especially frustrating even when you don't know where you're going so I advise using the parasol.

I'm not caught up yet, only up to the fourth video, but I'm enjoying the LP so far. One of my favorite games of all time. Also, there's a lot of cut content in the game, and even more if you include the demos. The weird looking dealie near the Dwarf Elder's hut, and the giant axe in the town proper are probably related to events that were unused one of the demos, and entirely excised by the time the retail version came out. There's an event called AP Slot Machine, and one called Dwarf's Help with an associated axe icon. There were a lot of changes between versions of the game, even just between Japan and elsewhere. I'd actually go so far as to call the Japanese version kind of unfinished.

I'd note that the eagles weren't at the meeting for what to do with the Ring and even if they were, having them take it wouldn't have worked in the first place since Sauron and his forces would've seen and killed them before they ever got close to Mount Doom.

Maybe not on purpose but then again not a a lot of the people who asked that question remember how armed Sauron's forces are especially on their own territory nor that the books apparently explain why the eagles didn't take the ring to Mordor outright: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NebzjctwMp0

Having given it some more thought, I'm sure they were just worried about a mass pooping in the great eye. Which, while funny, would have been extremely counterproductive in the long run.

The Rise and Shine powder was actually a reward for killing the floating monsters they kept ignoring. Once the Forest of 100 Flowers curse was removed, that causes new yellow monsters to spawn (as mentioned by the guys at the lumberjack factory) so I guess if the purple ones were still alive they just get removed and the reward is put on the ground. Spoilers explain why it appeared, not what its point is.  Edit: If you want vague directions without resorting to a guide, here's something to remember about the pig bags: While the fortune teller hints at the locations of the pig doors, the bags themselves are always in the area that was cursed. The remaining cursed areas are (if I recall correctly) Bacchus Village and the jungle. SirSamVimes fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Oct 27, 2019 |

This is why I slightly prefer the second game as the more linear progression means region objectives rarely require going to areas outside of that region and are thus much easier to find. There are some quests that span areas of multiple regions and thus do require backtracking but thankfully these quests are really upfront about "you're going to need to do something in another region(s) to complete this".
