14:10 It does. If you enable both Map Readers you can see secret rooms highlighted in pink!

I've put a couple dozen hours into La Mulana 1 without a guide, but the feeling of barely making any progress while crawling through the same area(s) over and over until I realised I missed some hidden wall here, or forgot to kill an enemy there, combined with the resource management that had you backtrack all the time (the consumables, and especially the godawful hotsprings system), turned me off and I dropped the game after I realized I wasn't really enjoying it that much. I didn't make it that far (couple guardians in, found the other side stages), but it felt like 95% of the puzzles I did weren't solved by thinking, but hitting every single wall on the screen until something worked. I still liked the core idea of the game though, so if the sequel tones this kind of thing down, I am actually really excited to try it.

1:18 days before aghs everyone had to do that shit, I remember that.

Miss these old day Dota2 before zeus had arrived

This video got me to play like 2000 hours of dota 2 all that time ago

Has the internet already figured out how much this video contributed? lmao

Truly ahead of its time. Touched fluffy tail before it became the cool thing to do.

it's always been funny seeing this over the years because i made the picture of antimage used in the thumbnail lol

And when the world needed him most... he vanished.

my favorite part is when 16:15 hits and im jumpscared with human megaman if he was a medieval warrior

XD

finished the game recently and i have something to point out in this 3 year old video about the "where is this?" puzzle... my third way of solving this puzzle was instead watching the image on the tablet itself, remembering another hint about the mouth of the dragon and realizing the map itself had the same shape of the dragon on the tablet.

the section at 14:02 with the pyramids has more to it, you learn that the pyramid of the sun is a "man" and the pyramid of the moon a "woman" the tablet tells you it is forbidden to attack inside the woman NOT the entire area, also as soon as you climb out of the moon pyramid you see some regular enemies you are free to whack with a weapon without being smited. In a weird way being punished for swinging your weapon around and the confirmation that the moon pyramid is referenced as "woman" is confirmation you need for the maternity statue puzzle.

Tofu when I'm hungry, rye whiskey when dry, doubloons when I'm hard up and religion when I die

I feel like the way they present the information so bluntly in the manual illustrates the fact that they _designed the Holy Grail puzzle poorly_ from the very beginning, obviously _realized_ it wasn't giving players enough contextual clues to work it out, and then instead of redesigning things to enable players to work it out, they just spoil the puzzle in the manual. Which kinda ruins the bigger puzzle of figuring out how the ruins structurally work, which was always intended from the very start to be a huge central mystery you HAVE to solve to beat the game.

Come back bro we miss you

Whoooo remembers flimsii

Why is agreeing to be Sarah’s friend here? Maybe if you agree and later be a jerk to her.

Here to pay tribute while waiting for new Flims' vid.

the video that got me into dota 2 11 years ago and ruined my life

The Colossal dragon puzzle was the one i got stuck in. because i interpreted the colossal dragon to be an actual thing instead of representing an entire area. So I kept continuously casting the mantras on top of the giant Vidofnir statue in the underworld. Vidofnir looks like a colossal dragon and there's obviously a passage under it so that's the logic I had, I also went to cast the mantras at Fafnir's room and Vritra's room as well, because they're also dragons. The reason why i thought that the colossal dragon had to be a thing like a statue or a background detail was because previously I was in the Heaven's Labyrinth and had a message from Mulbruk that told me that a moving pillar in the room with Orpheus had a symbol that represented the Infernal Fiend combining that with a tablet that says "Within the belly of the crawling Infernal Fiend" I realized that i had to get inside it, sure enough there was a dais there that opened that chest with the crystal skull in it. So that puzzle gave me the wrong impression which prevented me from solving another puzzle. I only found the answer to the puzzle because when i was checking my notes I saw the tablet that asked "Where is this" and I just googled "Awagigahara" thinking it was a mythological reference then i saw someone in a reddit thread say "So i know the colossal dragon is supposed to the Takamagahara..." and that's all i needed to see to understand the puzzle.

Feels like this game is just for masochists still, and i say that as someone who keeps subjecting himself to Souls Like, but this has the energy of a D&D camaign with a jerk of a DM.

I think one of the main things about the first one is it's not just the beginning that's obtuse, it gets even worse later in the game. "Hints" on tablets that won't be relevant to many hours later. Incomprehensible puzzles in late game. Etc. The game has earned it's reputation fairly.

Even the hunters frok Bloodborne wouldn't know what the fuck is going in this game!

Recuerdo ver este vídeo hace 8 años... Estaba terminando la secundaria, ahora estoy terminando mi carrera universitaria y me inundan los recuerdos de ese pasado tan simple en donde solo regresar a casa, quitarme el uniforme y ponerme a jugar dota después de hacer tareas era toda mi vida... Fueron tiempos simples y hermosos

This video is an absolute classic. I always come and visit it every year

One of the best videos on KZbin. It will live in my head forever

A note about the fake wall in the temple of moonlight- At a certain point in the game, you get an upgrade to your map that allows you to see "hidden rooms". So the intentional non accidental/hit every fake wall way to find it is to get the map upgrade, see that there' s a hidden room there and then find it. There are definitely two maybe three spots in LM1 that are missing hints, and the holy grail puzzle is terrible, but the game does provide hints for most things.

I think my favourite part is the Force Staff segments, where AM does literally nothing or actively hurts his team.

And this is where the line came from. I immediately regret my decision.

no

This permanently altered my brain chemistry the first time I watched it and inflicted me with a love of fast snappy editing that you just don't get on KZbin anymore. Here's to a decade of blinkin' and slamming

18:30 , you have no idea, how this, blew my mind when you discovered something later in the game after completing a huge side puzzle in Ancient Chaos. All the map layouts are related to the pictures you saw at the first time you entered the area, the map layout of the Roots of Yggdrasil is the same as the picture of the Yggdrasil you've been given when you first enter the area, even the tablets you read scattered over the same area has a picture of the Roots of Yggdrasil in the bottom left of the screen, seriously, I have to look every map and see if they're all the same, to my shock, they are, now it makes sense why the Takagamahara Shrine is explicitly connected to the Heaven's Labyrinth, you can see in the trial itself that, the "neck" of the colossal dragon (Literally the layout of the Takagamahara Shrine itself) is at the "jaws" of the fiend monster (Literally the layout of the Heaven's Labyrinth itself) Blew my mind too much, knowing I ran through the levels of the layout in the pictures you've seen when you entered the area.

Well whatever it was it got you good sarah

Mandatory rewatch of this masterpiece

What a timeless classic of a video.

I felt like I forgot something, now im complete

Went looking for the old "fear is the mind killer" Anti Mage video and found this instead. I am not disappointed.

Oh man I forgot all about this vid. Classic vid
