The Ultimate Noita New Player's Guide

[@kaosspire6309]

So many subtle hints, some really hidden ones, some more obvious. The Guide we needed

[@Ratigan2]

Agreed. I can sometimes tell when he's hinting with his tone but I can't work out exactly _what_ he's hinting at... Leaving just enough room to puzzle it out for myself.

[@Aedrieus]

I bought this game going in blind. I had no idea what to expect. All I had to go on was seeing some brief clips of people with insane wand configurations get destroyed, and thought: Screw it, that looks fun. I'm now 20 hours into this game and haven't got very far, and was hesitant to watch any kind of videos or read any guides for fear of spoilers. I'm grateful for your video and the fact that it answered 95% of my questions. Also, the trick with the tablet is huge.

[@g_hoenig]

Same! I've been looking for a guide with minimal spoilers, and here it is.

[@adammolski]

Fun fact, if you polymorph yourself into a humanoid mob, as in - anything that can hold a wand, you can smuggle a fifth wand through holy mountain teleporter

[@FuryForged]

Yes you can!

[@patrikvajgel240]

So unstable poly has an extra use to it? Or did this get patched out in epilogue 2?

[@moininternet5278]

@@patrikvajgel240 This is a month late but I just tried and its still possible :)

[@noonereally4370]

I wanted to add a little tip from myself: If a spell uses 1 mana (like the chainsaw) and it fires on a 1-frame basis (not hard to acquire with chainsaw) it sustains itself without running out of mana with 60 charge speed. A lumi drill is 600 mana if we apply the same math. Therefore, add mana (which adds 30 mana to the cast) is the equivalent of 1800 charge speed. Goes to show just how powerful of a spell a well used add mana is.

[@seamusmaguire2160]

Fury, that clip of the Concentrated Mana melting the cart and having an alchemic reaction with the water while you mention that some liquids have multiple properties is chef's kiss perfect!

[@Benpurple4]

This is the guide I wish I found years ago. I was spoiled on so much end game stuff from THE TOP RESULT IN KZbin GUIDES FOR NOITA.

[@witherwarrior1148]

Could we get a part 2? Perhaps an Intermediate Player's Guide? It could explain what the orbs do, some key points of interest, some of the simpler mini bosses and how to deal with them, tricks for the main boss, etc. I feel like I understand a majority of what's in this guide, but I just don't know where to go from there because I still struggle, and I feel like I'm still missing out on a lot of the content that could be making the game easier for me, which I don't have the time to learn on my own. You could also make an expert's guide that talks about major side bosses, parallel words, hell and sky layers, additional points of interest, etc.

[@memogaming5383]

Just explore the map. Try to see every part that the map has to offer. Go to the left, to the right, explore the pyramid, go as high up as you can, go as low as you can. After that you can try to find out secrets. After exploring the map you should find a couple new books, tablets and items (like the key, music note, broken wands etc.) and try to find out what the books/tablets are trying to say or what to do with those items. As a start you might want to try to kick the finger statues in the snowy depths.

[@Ratigan2]

I second this

[@multiapples6215]

@@memogaming5383 as a newbie player who’s gotten to the 4th biome once and only knows vaguely about how deep (and wide) this game goes, this fills me with dread I love it

[@MisterIncog]

@@multiapples6215 same! I first tried noita when it was in beta, thought it was fun but not my cup of tea. I completed (painfully) my dead god in the binding of isaac about four months ago, and started to feel longing for some big and gradually progressing rogue-like (and didn’t want to repeat deadgod), and remembered about noita (also, one of my favorite tboi streamers played it a lot, and I trust his taste). I tried remembering my early days in tboi and how I approached it, and decided to perform the same approach with Noita. Looking up some beginners guide and tips, finding out the main stuff to make the game progress (spellcrafting), looking up some weird stuff I encounter through the game carefully (that’s how I learned about fungal reality shifts, for example). And wouldn’t you know it, I got absolutely hooked! Spellcrafting and wandtinkering has the same vibe as understanding how rng works in tboi and how to manipulate it like true stochastymancer. Looking back at my experience and drawing parallels with this new game, when I’m just on the first stepping stone… it’s like making a life commitment or something. Dreadful, exciting, nauseating and ecstatic.

[@xIcyStarzz-yz7my]

​@@MisterIncog literally the same exact thing just happened to me. I was reminded of Noita, after playing this pretty damn good for a phone game called Caves. Like just Caves. That's it. It's a pixel graphic rougelike , with mild progression with two forms of currency you pick up in game, emeralds and gold they both carry over from runs and can buy different armors and such. I love how much Isn't told to you.. like with caves, it's all about exploring and experimenting, because the game doesn't tell you shit, I love it. Noita I tried out a year ago, didn't get far, didnt like it, and just recently picked it back up again after playing that caves game for Android and my god I wish I had played it sooner!! Like actually given it a chance, I just brushed it off..my gf even got the game on steam deck because she liked Hades so much, and wanted to check out different rouge likes now were both hooked to Noitia my only dream is that it had some co op features. You should just give the monsters double HPor something and have players be able to share wands or pass them back and forth. Would be perfect. I finally got her to play Terraria with tons of mods, but the progression in Calamity is just really weird and gets to be a lot too much going on, Noita is like a perfect balance of being extremely challenging but also not and fun to progress in.

[@RockylarsYT]

You can also open your inventory and pull the flask from the slot for it to drop next to you if you don't want to risk the tiny throw potentially shattering it. This drop even works without liquids under you, it just slips out and sits down right next to you.

[@Ratigan2]

My go-to method, although I had one incident early on where I aimed the cursor directly under me while attempting to store some worm blood and the flask still shattered into a million pieces which actually made me laugh out loud considering how carful I was trying to be but yeah aim a little _away_ from the player mass. It also helps to hold the bottle to see the throwing trajectory.

[@marzipancutter8144]

This one can also break the flask. The golden rule is to always have enough fluid as a buffer to slow down the flask. Note that the direction you drop a spell/potion/wand via this method is also dictated by where you point the cursor, so you have to still be careful where you aim it.

[@TheNoNameHere]

About dodging - there isn't a single enemy in the game that will take into account your current speed when aiming, meaning - every single enemy will shoot at exactly where you are in the moment the projectile is released, whether you are moving or not. All it takes to dodge a lot of attacks is just... Not stopping :) Or rather, any constant vertical movement, up or down.

[@lordfriedrick7911]

A little addendum: Some spells can remove material even if they don't look like they remove it, for example, the basic bomb can erase some material like lava I used this strategy for the lava lake one time with the perk unlimited spells Not the best example, but it gets the idea

[@greenpinapple820]

In my runs the best spells for this are the plasma beams with the blue plasma only targeting liquids and soft powders. Plasma beam orbit works great on rapid fire wands for getting rid of stray pixels of poly or ominous liquid.

[@Damiaen.]

Just started playing the game yesterday and was looking for a video like this. Thanks alot! I think the balance between tipps and "spoilers" is very good and doesnt take away the excitement to discover the games world.

[@Lilly-Lilac]

Ooo, this’ll be awesome. Not quite a beginner but maybe I can sent this to people to rope them into this -awful- wonderful game.

[@spectralaria8648]

There are other parts of a wand that can tell you more about it. Seeing as Fury didn't put it in the video, I'll put them behind this SPOILER WARNING. If a wand has a "core", that means it is a non-shuffle wand. If the wand glows purple, that means it has an always-cast on it. Typically, wands that are longer have more spell slots.

[@octia2817]

Wow, so many hours in noita and I didn't know about the purple glow! Very cool

[@FuryForged]

I'm actually making a *separate* video on this - wand visuals and stats - because I felt it would be best in a separate one and not crammed in here. Thanks for posting!

Ive been playing this game a while, i have 5 wins Every time it was because i got the teleport on hit perk and toxic sludged myself through every biome. Also it helps that im godlike against bosses. This guide helped me (nearly) get a legitimate win for once so i highly recommend it.

[@Secret_Takodachi]

If there was one thing I'd love to see added it would be "Active Wand Statistics" Putting parenthesis around the current: Cast Time + Recharge Time + Mana Use Per Recharge to reflect the current spells & mods influencing the stats would go a LONGGGG way towards helping people learn how wands work + how to best build them. You could even keep the original stats where they are, just have (X.XX) noted next to it! Until then, I'll do my best to remember which spells augment which stats & mainly play it by feel. ❤ Fantastic game, love the insane depth of the game's systems & the crazy size of the world! Just gotta find a few more tools to help me learn to navigate these depths (and heights). Your videos are certainly a great start!

Sweet video! I started playing Noita less than a year ago and put it down because of difficulty and impatience in figuring things out. I love subtle hints because it helps me look at the puzzles from a new angle, so I can still enjoy figuring them out, rather than looking up solutions (which is boring). Also I feel like the wand tips here finally make the wand spell making seem fun and magical, instead of just... Bland, which is how it seemed at first when I didn't understand how much you could do to change wands. So thanks, now I wanna play Noita today!

[@carterbennett7528]

another super cool intentional (?) bug is item possession with the tablet. fury already showcased it, but it you throw the tablet, and on the first frame the tablet appears, press the button to equip the tablet, you can spam left click to telepathically control the tablet. it can kill enemies, drop double gold, and can be recalled with E. dope stuff lol
