How to easily defeat the high alchemist boss early in Noita

[@FuryForged]

Also, sorry for the dip in audio quality. My mixer recently died and I'm still in the process of setting-up and finetuning an entire new audio system. It'll take a bit to get all the kinks worked out and to make sure I don't clip, sound the best, etc. Thanks for watching! I hope it helps. There are many ways to take down this boss, but I think this is a good starting point. Anyway, have a nice day!

The statue kicking butt was awesome hahaha

[@catgckool428]

Statue: Mister Alchemist... *I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR F#**#KING** A##!*

[@Starfloofle]

That is exactly how I killed him the first time, it was hilarious.

[@xislomega242]

Luring a Patsas into a fight with the High Alchemist is my new favourite method of killing the boss, it's so ironic!

[@johnnyseattle7385]

Triggered plasma beam cross feels like the most common one to get early, and it's pretty effective. If you wait until you might get Orbit Larpa from the dragon, that's most often a one-cast kill, and will waste the bridge boss too.

[@crunchya0l]

This is crazy fucking timing, I watched the old video earlier today and I JUST lost a run where I found Personal Fireball Thrower on a wand and tried to make my way back up.

[@bathl]

You were the reason this video was made. The gods are aware.

[@ArceusShaymin]

@@bathl THE GODS ARE VERY CURIOUS

[@olaviollikainen]

I also found a way to kill the high alchemist by only having a way over the tree. Basically you just use the evil eye to dig straight down to the arena, but not fully dropping in. After that you find the middle of the arena and start shooting down with the starting wand (which will work if its not spitter bolt, i recommend bouncy bolt). You try to find the alchemists location using the health bar as a hint. Then you just hold down left click. This works about 60% of times. Other times the high alchemist is just in so random spots you cant locate it.

[@Renteks-]

This is a very helpful addendum, I remember watching the old video a year ago and passing on the tentacler and lightning spells for fear they might not work compared with fireball thrower. Good to know now they do work, without having to sacrifice some promising runs.

[@adamdavis40208]

i love that my brain knows your "swear censor sound" is an imp from Doom 2 getting chainsawed

[@gothmfsalem]

im very grateful for the revised version of this video, i was confused because I wasn't getting progress on kills using the old methods, then I realized that finding the spells on a mountain isn't the goal lol. now that I know more methods ill be killing him more often :3

[@SiriusRise]

Just killed him the other day with a godly giga black hole and fireball thrower wands I luck pulled from a holy mountain... pity none of the spells unlocked so this is MEGA helpful thank you!!

[@holduphero4638]

Never knew the statues could fight the High Alchemist for you! I always just used a timer spell with plasma to take down the mines bosses back to back

[@dj_enby]

awesome update! honestly sometimes i get tunnel vision with certain strats so this has me thinking more about the big picture. i'm sure there are still tons of ways you can kill him using early level spells that you didn't even mention!

[@Sha.ll0w]

Also the honorable mention of Piercing Shot + Prickly Spores from the other vid :P

[@DC_actual]

Killed him the other day by raining down triplicate bolt. Took forever, but I was hiding in the roof and he never fired a shot at me.

[@avamaco3357]

Great video! I'd like to share a method that I usually used, which isn't very elaborate but I almost always won with it. Wand with only giant magic missile. This method is similar to the unstable crystal one - takes a little while, but the Alchemist has pretty easy patterns to avoid. The best thing about this method is that giant magic missile can be acquired in every run, because it spawns in the experimental math wand.

[@VadeInSpiritu]

What / where is the experimental math wand?

[@m4rcyonstation93]

​@@VadeInSpiritu take emerald tablet, bring it to anvil in hiisi. Turns into stone tablet. Bring that back up the cabin on the right side of the lake, and throw it in

[@boligrafobasura]

@@m4rcyonstation93 but how do you get up again without the whole tower run ? Is there a way from hiisi up earlier?

[@keithklassen5320]

​@@boligrafobasuraThere are lots of ways up, the video we all just watched detailed some of them. Including using regular teleportatium, lumi drill wands, black holes, plasma, etc. You gotta learn how to go places the game doesn't want you to go.

[@jupitersky]

I killed the alchemist with an addmana, triple cast, two luminous drills, and one triplicate bolt. He's a fairly easy boss all things considered, so long as you're careful. He really only has the shield to defend himself and honestly it's more of a weakness xD

[@MaxFigueroa-zl7we]

I discovered the statue method myself with pheromone, I felt so smart and got black holes in the first holy mountain and won very easily

[@Skiier100.59]

just used the fly swarm technique for my first kill thanks a lot for the high quality videos!

[@mrglockenspiel5545]

I actually just beat the alchemist for the first time today with an always cast wasp swarm wand with ice and homing and it has propelled me into an incredibly long run

[@toddhoward1892]

3:12 I dont usually watch a lot of noita content, but ive never seen anyone do the infinite tablet flight thing like that. I always just threw it straight up and got on top of it.

[@ninethirtyone4264]

The statue method is the one I used (by accident) the first time I ever went to the alchemy lab! What a throwback

[@dergolfa7667]

This is Awesome, Thanks Fury ♥

[@nerdicusdorkum2923]

I'm personally a fan of magic missile and it's bigger cousins. They're not too hard to find within the first 3 levels. Hell, ya may even start with it. Main reason is is that they aim straight and fast, and 1 hit is guaranteed to make him reapply his shields. Not to mention that they just do very solid damage without putting yourself at crazy risk, or requiring additional spells to make work. Though it won't necessarily cheese the boss, unless ya got a lot of them on a large multicast wand. Still, even 1 magic missile has enough ammo to kill him. Especially if a pool of berserkium is nearby.

[@cybisz2883]

My goto-way to defeat this guy is with the spitter bolt timer, firing a homing mist cloud (or a few) with the plasma-beam orbit modifier. This will kill Squidward pretty fast too.

[@holduphero4638]

Same here with the plasma, the homing mist cloud idea sounds cool! I usually use beam cross because it doesn’t melt gold when going through the lab

[@blad...]

I used to use mist+beam combo in all my runs until the teleport mage taught me a lesson.

[@fikefirecz]

this video is propabli one of the moest usefull onees I have seen so far(I´m beginer)

[@onar_]

I hope you do some more updated methods! This was a great video

[@jaedonklb603]

The way I kill him everytime is a teleport wand and then a melee wand. Much like the paha silma strategy

[@Nyan4Eon]

A very good way to beat him is luminous drill with timer and plasma cutter. They're fairly common and that combo can be used to dig back up too. It goes through his shield and can't be deflected back at you because of the luminous drill with timer pushing the plasma cutter forwards, so it won't ever reach you when he deflects it. It's very effective and kills quick.

[@derram0k]

Spark bolt with trigger, 5 multicast, 4 summon explosive boxes/unstable crystals, and 1 spell that causes fire (the fire trails or fire balls). I've actually found the personal thrower spells to be a harder kill than just one-shotting him with insta-detonating explosives, and that setup is a lot easier to put together early in a run.

[@GoldenH]

Statue was my first way of defeating the alchemist, and still my favorite.

[@xlhooka666]

You can use Magic Guard and Spiral Shot (unlockable) to do the same sort of thing as the flies do. They became explosive when reflective though so you kinda gotta run. It's a risky but fun and fast kill.

[@xlhooka666]

NEVERMIND I WAS WRONG ABOUT MAGIC GUARD

[@melonenlord2723]

The first alchemist death i got was with the stature. I didnt even know what happened, only heared explosions and was scared. xD

[@supp282]

i have 60hrs and still too scared to go and face the ylialkemisti

[@keithklassen5320]

Start a few runs with the intention of going to him asap, and just learn his patterns, and die to him when you have to. It's good to reduce the fear of the unknown.

[@snekgregory]

We recently memed about you being The Highest Alchemist... and then you release this video lol. Good stuff!

[@joethaslayer]

damn when i first got the spells i just spawned in, looted the mines, went through the lab and just ffought him with whatever i had until i got him

[@frostilicus]

Hahaha, I used one of the statues to clear the entire Alchemy lab once. I had a sparkbolt wand and never would've survived w/o it.

[@WolfA4]

The statue kill is top knotch.

[@Mysteryman03]

My go-to for this boss is plasma, preferably on a trigger with or without homing.

[@uwaa5768]

almost 3 years playing noita and had no idea the statue enemy existed

[@AberrantAberrant]

The way he said "FLIES" made me cackle

[@hamzamotara4304]

Noice. Could you make an updated wand connesiur cheese?

[@co5micwaffle742]

Is there any way to cheese him other than plasma beams anymore?

[@m4rcyonstation93]

Idk method is the same since that video. Just plasma cutter then teleport away and ur good

[@hordeer]

You can also use piercing and fungus if you're lucky enough to find them early on

[@ManiacMoomin]

My preferred method is hugging him with contact damage.

[@Bombingham]

You didn't show the chainsaw method, just going in and obliterating him

[@blad...]

Looking for this comment. I had to scroll so far. Did they patch this weakness out or what?! Just sit on top of him with the chainsaw wand and melt him in 1 second. Personally never used it but I've seen it.

[@Bombingham]

@@blad... I just tried it and chainsaw doesn't damage him at all 😔

[@blad...]

@@Bombingham isn't it supposed to be paired with the normal drill? Chainsaw just makes it fast. IDR

[@Bombingham]

@@blad... Chainsaw deals 13 slice damage normally but the boss doesn't take any damage from it for some reason. I didn't try drill

[@junebug73642]

This boss is currently immune to Slice damage, so chainsaws, sawblades, and arrows won't deal any damage.

[@jupitersky]

WAIT THE UNSTABLE CRYSTALS ARE THAT GOOD WHAT

[@jabz1582]

Me who's struggling to do anthing in the game:

[@Reiman33]

5k hours in this game and I never knew you could use mud to make footholds on the tree. every new game I spawned with mud potion i always emptied it or threw it away. gaaah how many other things have I overlooked?!

[@michaelleue7594]

Can you do video about divide by spells and how to use them in bespoke ways? There are lots of of specific wand builds that use D#'s, and some very technical guides that try to make you into an expert at exploiting the programming behind them, but I still never really go for them because I don't know how to take advantage of them unless I'm specifically following a recipe for a crazy god wand.

[@bennyhilding2850]

I went there for the first time after 340h, thinking i had an awesome weapon. Homing rocks. They obliterated everything i came across. Imagine the shock on my face when he was immune :(

[@crimsonharvest]

you called it memey but I saw swarm of flies yesterday and knew i had the alchemist in the bag. word of warning though if you kill him too far off screen with this the crystal key will either not spawn or get dissolved somehow. idk it was like 3 or 4 screens below me so im not sure about what happened.

[@Ultracity6060]

My favorite boss... the ALMOFETZ.

[@CompeAnansi]

thanks, i was wondering why he put "AGMOPHSTZ" in the miniature

[@nguyenleanphuc7138]

Pls do one about killing the wand connoisseur and get it in the progress part

[@miki890098]

What about the classic death cross on a trigger? That's always been the easiest way possible for me, and it's almost always accessible

[@seth-rah]

Any chance for an updated version of defeating Sauvojen tuntija without relying on self damage? I find myself having multiple runs where I don't find the materials to do anything about the boss

[@Kiwi-1691]

i have defeated the alchemist sometimes but i dont think it counted i belive i used personal tentacler(not sure now) the other times but he did not apear in the enemys list is there something i need to do?

Should the Patsas now be called the Patsass?

may i suggest a good pair of running shoes?

[@kazukikage4582]

[@nikolaisafronov3452]

Can you make a new video about how to store potions without them falling into the ground when you come back?

[@Predhead]

I wonder if the Bridge Boss is vulnerable to statues too. I haven't managed a kill on him since the cheese died

[@ikmor]

Nice!

[@justinorlesky7567]

hey fury, you should get the max lukki's mutation and invisibility, and go near the new building's you'll see something that's from what i can tell really interesting and might have some significance to the mysteries of this crazy wizard game. just was messing around and decided to see how truly hard lukki's mutation is and love how the leg's just kill without breaking invis. but i was walking past the pyramid invisible all the way and once that lava tower was in sight my invisibility broke until not in sight, when i say broke i mean i was still invisible but it was visible invisibility, or it might be a bug, but i think not, i think we need to see things in a different way. and i know people have looked in different gamma, brightness, and contrast before, but have they done it as lukki is my question what about other perks, like vampirism on the effect of fungus you'll never shift, because not able to get sick but every now and then you'll get the shift of colors but still never shift, oh and by the way im full vanilla no mods.

[@justinorlesky7567]

anyone know why the thing you get for completing the game called something different all the time, like i have killed myself with the sun when Midas fails and now mine is called Hermes bird, but my last run i made my dark sun and killed Kolmi with it for both normal kolmi kills and one gord kolmi sun kill.i have managed to kill the new rock boss without cessation and the 3 mina's, but all three mina ghost spawned with telle wands and didn't do it using extra life or saving grace.

[@The_Tingel]

Do I have to use the spells he drops to have them appear in future runs or does just killing him unlock all letter spells for every run after?

[@rapidboi002]

Is there any way to prevent the alchemist from escaping? Because sometimes I escape upwards for better positioning, then he tunnels upwards and into the sky as I run.

[@holocene9953]

Any interest in playing Hades 2 or are you a Noita-only channel now? I remember back in the day of Hades early access, you were my introduction to it. I'm really enjoying Hades 2 early access now & I think you'd enjoy it too :>

[@FuryForged]

I'm definitely not a Noita-only channel. I'm working on video essays for a large variety of knowledge-based, secret-y games (think Rain World, La-Mulana, Inscyption, ESA, Void Stranger.) But I'm also not really uploading gameplay to this channel anymore. I stream 4 - 5 days a week (twitch.tv/furyforged) and upload all the VODs over here: kzbin.info. I've played Hades 2 on stream!

[@supermagma]

I kill this guy pretty much every run with just lighting and a teleport wand. Teleport around to dodge his shots, zap his face with the lightning (don't use triggers or anything, lightning on its own is the perfect setup for this). 10 shots later, he's dead, and I have the greek letter spells.

[@citricdemon]

They call him a high alchemist because. Him do. We'd

[@toby-we3zj]

step 1. take his zaza away

[@VadeInSpiritu]

Does piercing spore pod still work?

[@FuryForged]

Yup - piercing is pretty rare in earlier-game, though, so that's the reason why I didn't include that. I was trying to stick to "early-game" methods in order to show people how simple it could be. If you manage to get a piercing early, then spore pod will, for sure, work very nicely.

[@Nakilon]

I've defeated him yesterday. He wasn't bleeding with slime like yours, wtf.

[@NekuZX]

what do you do with the statue after the fight?

[@FuryForged]

You let it live its best life while you go and continue your run!

[@casualsatanist5808]

Ive found that with Never skip legday and the evil eye, you can consistently kill the alchemist. You just jump straight on him, and make sure to look up as you kick him while holding the evil eye. Its cool, fun, and effective. Explosive boxes and bombs as detonation is pretty easy aswell, (berserkium makes this even better). Lukki minion can solo him aswell as the pyramid boss, but most summonable creatures aree very effective in higher numbers. Hollow egg can be paired with any number of spells, ie unstable crystal etc, and make quick work of him.

[@leonardocarvalho2573]

are these direct kills ?

[@uncletiggermclaren7592]

I love that this game exists . . . but I would never play such a complex thing. Takes a certain kind of nature, like sailing, or crossword puzzles or masochism.

[@burrdid]

id argue the lightning thrower is better because it kills alchemist and the master of masters edit just watched the rest of the video.

[@caffiend81]

I'm a fool for trying to do god runs without killing this boss first 🤣 There are ways to get infinite healing/digging of course, but they're convoluted and rely on way more RNG.
