lost woods, typho ruins, or the place with the lord of the mountain?

[Frumple]

Second. Place is pretty amazing.

[wierd]

I think that would be great to do at night, or in dark cave interiors-- but not all the time.

[Frumple]

Oh, all the time would rapidly become incredibly annoying, yes. Make for a very different sort of very pretty in a lot of areas, though.

Guess the ideal would be some way to toggle it. New helmet, magic sunglasses.

[wierd]

Dark interiors would be really neat for atmospherics-- the cloying darkness of the typho ruins is indeed a neat effect. I just think it belongs on cloudy new moons, cave interiors, and really dark dungeon areas, not all the time.

Bought myself a house for the low price of 3.000 Rupees! (and 30 bundles of wood.)
I'm a homeowner now. Yup. My very own house. Completely devoid of furnishings.
Time to relax and rest on the bare wooden floor.

Given how easily you can smack down the last boss... There must be a secret ultimate boss (or secret final boss) somewhere.

Hard mode DLC for 20 money I bet

[Frumple]

They've already mentioned some of the DLC content, heh. And yeah, a challenge/hard mode is apparently slated for the first or second one, iirc.

Chill. You can buy doors, lighting and a bed for 300 total. When you have 5,900~ the house isn't so bad, y'know?

[Frumple]

Man, it's something to watch someone dismiss a quick and easy solution to a puzzle, just because they assumed something instead of testing it. Understandable considering the interaction, but still.

Stasis'd explosives you inject kinetic energy into explode on impact, not when the stasis breaks :V

[SOLDIER First]

You can Stasis buttons, apparently.

[TheBronzePickle]

Honestly, if you can think of something, it's better to say "let's check" instead of "no, that's stupid." They seem to have thought of just about everything that could conceivably be done, and have either allowed it, found a way to prevent you from doing it, or in a rare few cases given you a way to prevent yourself from getting stuck in a puzzle because you did something you shouldn't have.

Spoiler: Puzzle shrine spoiler (click to show/hide)

There's a shrine where you kinda have to escort a block of ice around jets of flame and magma. The last part is just a wall of flame coming down from above blocking the path and they give you a metal box you can block the flames with. I thought you had to hold the box up to them and then stasis it in place, but there's no way to swap to stasis mode in time before the box falls down. I also tried sitting the box on top of the ice cube and riding it along but the ice is too slippery. Same with putting the ice on top of the box, just slides off when you move it.

Turns out (and yes I had to look it up) you have to stasis the ice block and hit it a few times, then block the flame jets with the box and let the ice shoot under it. Reason I never tried it was because I assumed that smacking the block of ice with a hammer would destroy it. Also one person claimed they simply threw the ice block through the flames and it came out intact but a little smaller, so there's that...

I found this out because it's one of the loading screen tips.
Speaking of those tips, it annoys me that it constantly repeats obvious stuff over and over again, but when it gets to something interesting it disappears before I can read it.

[Frumple]

Heh. Run I'm currently bingeing on is 48 hours in, and I'm pretty sure I haven't seen that tip, yet. Kinda' makes me wonder just how many of the things there are.

Though I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the more esoteric stuff is intentionally on screen for less time, tbh. It seems like something this game would do, ehehe. Pretty sure there's a definite bias to likelihood of seeing a particular tip and how esoteric what it says is. Ruddy things feel like they have friggin' encounter rates.

Spoiler: about that shrine spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm pretty sure throwing it through has a good chance to work. There's definite melt time on solid ice.

... part of me wonders if there's somewhere in the game you have to deliberately exploit that. Puzzle somewhere where you have to partially melt something to get it around hazards. That'd be a helluva' thing.
