raocow's talkhaus

The Wedjet puzzle. Though I think it was one episode later.

Yeah even knowing the solution and how you're supposed to solve the one time puzzle, I feel absolutely no shame in saying that I save-scummed the crap out of that puzzle and eventually said "screw it" and looked up the answer. That puzzle is incredibly stupid and solving it is a ridiculou...

I commend you for reaching me, chosen one.

"Wise Men Who Halts" (awakened Philosophers' theme)

One thing I should mention is that guiding the lizard guy to the light in the original was a lot more annoying, because you couldn't. The original lizard's movement was completely random, didn't track Lemeza at all. Pretty sure it's still fairly random in this too. I've stood right in front of the ...

Maybe it's coming from the sun in the Endless Corridor.

I am admittedly salty towards this one and had the same experience you had. I suppose the falling dust is intended to be a "hey push this somehow" indicator like other pushable objects. But this is the only time in the game where you need to either air-grapple-sorta-push or air-double-jum...

What's the puzzle hint for it? Because I know it was added for the remake and absolutely stumped me when I first played it. Pretty sure it was just a wall you struck in Classic. There is none. Oh. I am admittedly salty towards this one and had the same experience you had. I suppose the falling dust...

It also contains - alongside a set of puzzles I very much enjoy - my single most hated puzzle/obstacle in the entire game. Specifically, that leaning pillar at around 9:30.

There are times the katana is a poor choice. There are also times the katana is a good, or even the best, choice. The same applies to all of the weapons. The trick is picking a weapon to match the situation.

The Chamber of Birth is, indeed, quite a busy place. And yes, it's also very challenging. "Tougher than Gate of Illusion" I definitely agree with. There is no shame in spending a while here to crack its secrets. It also contains - alongside a set of puzzles I very much enjoy - my single mo...

technical difficulties, please stand by

Yes, that bull boss in the Dimensional Corridor occasionally gets stuck in that corner and refuses to de-Starman until you take a hit. It's frustrating, but thankfully rare (at least in my experience). The key elements of the flooding-the-tower puzzle were already made clear in the video, but just a...

Regarding today's puzzles. What causes the helicopter robots to spawn? Is it solving the puzzle that was solved today or something else? A question for Voltgloss I know there's a tablet for it somewhere but where is the information regarding how Tiamat's children will respawn. I ctrl-f'd through th...

good job solving one of the more obtuse puzzles in the game within 3 minutes of the start of the video rao honestly it didn't feel like he "solved" it, it felt like more he just stumbled around and oops'd into it He went exactly to the places identified in the tablet, specifically because...

That block was already moving in raocow's video yesterday (before he put a weight on that pedestal today).

It's one of the biggest leaps in logic and really badly signposted.

Respectfully disagree. We'll discuss when the time comes, of course.

The Tower of the Goddess truly knows how to make an impression; unique amongst all the fields we've seen so far, both graphically and, I'd argue, musically. A distinctly "alien" vibe plus a "things are getting even MORE serious" feel: that's what the intrepid Chosen One discovers...

Congratulations on your 100th hot spring bath, raocow!

It isn't great, but there are definitely times where La-Mulana just expects you to wander around the areas. Check you maps, look for areas or icons you don't remember visiting. That's the honest, spoiler-free answer whenever you get really stuck and don't know what to do next. For reference, areas ...

Every La-Mulana player can relate.
Take heart; you continue to make tremendous progress, even if it doesn't always feel like it.

also viy is absolutely as awful and terrible as he looks. i almost quit the game because i got so frustrated trying to beat him. the sequel managed to have an even worse boss somehow, though Spoilers for the sequel: Which boss? If you're thinking the boss of Icefire Treetops, that fight has changed...

Question: Is there a method for the One Arm / One Finger achievements for Viy that doesn't involve a bunch of face-tanking? For those unfamiliar: the achievements Draexzhan's asking about are achievements for beating all of the guardians and the final boss without using subweapons. One Arm is doing...

Well if you really want them to tell you what's spoilered, maybe don't black out the entire post at all? Cause I doubt the reporter cares what happens. Anyways, if it's alright with you, I'll just unspoiler that one post either tomorrow, or whenever page 28 is created. 1. I wasn't the one who repor...
