Awesome video but I'm so frustrated I didn't get to see you get that gauntlet at the end! Aaaaaa!

Heh, once I got it, it wore off after defeating only 3 enemies with its power.

Faxanadu. That is all

the little moments where a game tells you what's up & expectations shift. if you didn't go to the left, would you find out the mattock is a one time prize at that spot? it's so easy to call things bugs or oversights but the game is also definitively telling you what's up in other places, in ways not taken any special note of

It really does match the original Xanadu's mindset in this way too

I knew the pendant was bugged, but this takes the cake.

Oddly, I think the pendant improves the game in its current state, because with the pendant I find the early game harder and the late game easier. I wouldn't want to just flip it and make the early game even harder, and the late game even easier. Whether or not they knew it was backwards, I dunno, but I do think they tuned the game around what it was doing in the end.

Faxanadu content will never die. Someday I might make a video on how easy it is to abuse the password system. Just level up a few times, and get a password each level up at the same location with the same equipment. A pattern emerges…

This streamer etiquette advice is very appreciated!

Hello Brad!! The Mattock or other hidden items appear every 4 rooms where there is a secret item. The count changes only when you visit a room where there is a secret item like the Mattock. So, once you understand this, you can easily get a Mattock every time that you kill all the monsters in that room since you'll know when to fight them. :) Also, I like to fight without equipping any shield, so since I use Ointments a lot to be free from injury, magic will go through my body and won't push or hurt me, though it would if I had an equipped shield. Did you ever think about making a Faxanadu game editor? I'd create at least 10 hacks with it haha! And I'll DEFINITELY make at least one Legacy of the Wizard hack because of you man! DREAM come true!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!

Ah, I see. Thanks for the extra clarification. No, I have not considered making an editor for Faxanadu, though I think an older one may already exist.

@@Sakanakao Thanks for your answer! I tried that old one, but it was not complete. We could not save our progress to begin with. I'll release Legacy of the Lizard (NES Hack) in 2025 if everything keeps going well! Yes, Lizard! Not Wizard haha! We both know Kaeon BTW! :)
