raocow's talkhaus

Orcs are more about learning. Upper boss is much more about reacting. They test two different skills.

Stand by my prediction for angrycow^2.

I'm just gonna spoiler this stuff, so raocow can choose to view it or not at his leisure. Basically there are three weapons you can get, and are currently eligible for. Lust, Wrath, and I think maybe Gluttony. He can also get Envy. I'm glad to see that raocow has opened his mind to the wonderful wo...

03 - Rack N Ruin - The Test in the West

Those birds are rough.

Hoo boy, what an episode. raocow, you have seen every attack the twins can throw. At this point, what would you like? I can do nothing if you desire, of course, but I can also drop hints, or also do a little video tutorial on how to dodge specific things, or I can just tell you how to get weapons an...

This boss is amazing. It'd be my favorite if it wasn't for the few stupid glitches it has, and I wonder if raocow will encounter them What glitches does it have? I didn't come across any so just curious F9zbOgsF3DQ There also is one that I couldn't get on camera, where sometimes an invisible "...

Gonna be straight up to the H honest here, I really don't like this boss. Now, as a concept it's pretty cool, and the way they interact is neat, but the problem here is there's so many environmental hazards and so many things you need to pay attention to at once, that when you die you don't feel li...

Whew. These two bosses (these, and the upper path boss) were my brick walls. I finished both paths, unlocking warps to both, and just could not beat either of them. It was at this point I accidentally learned that other weapons existed and were even a mechanic, and went back and got them. They made ...

Yep, the columns at the bottom of the spike ceiling room are DUMB. No argument there. It is a running theme that foreground and background objects are not distinct from each other in this game, which is a shame. Man, I was not expecting you to have so much trouble on that one spike switch part. At l...

For what it's worth, I never found video proof that anyone beat the game with the "no-hit" submode in anything else than easy mode, lol. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS http://www.twitch.tv/bananasaurus_rex/v/3615373 SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS I haven't found videos for Demon Doomed, though it...

raocow:




On that note, if anyone else has any parts of the game they would like to see done perfectly, I can certainly give it a shot. I will probably not do no-damage boss runs, but if there's a specific boss attack you'd like to see, I can target that.

I'm so, so happy raocow got mimic'd. Regarding the worm room: I'll need to check when I get home, but doing that no-damage may be impossible without one of the other weapons. Everything is easy except for the very first worm--I'm not sure if there's a way to dodge it, but you can definitely burst ki...

02 - Rack N Ruin - What Is Amon?

Today we see zelda dungeons and our first boss.

Also, we were discussing this with Whattayabryan in spoilers, but I'm surprised you actually went for the "kill statues as fast as possible" strat. If you go more slowly and hit all 3 statues on each cycle as low as possible, you overall deal a lot more damage to the global health bar and...

RANDOM UPDATE. I want to get back in the swing of things to prepare for the very imminent release of DT3. Also my first time releasing in 60fps, so that's cool.



01 - Rack N Ruin - Basiliscus Cowardice

Talking and learning (and destroying).

I don't agree with the first hint. The pattern at the start of the fight is fairly easy since it's slow, so you can take advantage of this to damage all 3 statues as low as possible without killing one, then when all 3 have like 1 pixel left you can kill one of them I wouldn't even bother without G...

This may be interesting: VS behaves differently for .c and .cpp files. You see, .cpp compiler is fine with having variable declarations anywhere you want, but in .c all vars should be above any actual code. On the other side, in .c, you can have a global variable defined both in .c and .h files, wh...

Allow me.

This statement and video should be reserved for the third-to-last boss.

The coming section has the hardest non-boss segment (for me). I wonder how raocow will do on it! Also, my favorite boss is next. Exciting times! raocow did pretty well on the "autoscroll", which by far was the worst part for me throughout the game. I think doing it on gamepad contributes ...

Okay, wow. raocow uncovered a bug! 1. Your game is not screwed up; you don't need to restart bla bla bla. Everything's fine. 2. Yes, it is 3 unique keys for 3 unique doors. Bug: You seem to have divined an error with how the game triggers events. What is appears to be is this: - If I don't have Key ...

uhm... is the game bugged? You'll see in tonight's video, but is it a known thing that one of the keys doesn't seem to be, like, saving ? Shouldn't be the case. I'll need to see the video to be sure, but they should ("should") save as soon as the little "KEY GET" cutscene finish...

Technically rocks also help survival, since he gets knocked back and his lunges don't reach as far. raocow still does not believe in the power of his air stalling. :( Kratarac is probably the "craziest" boss. There are harder ones, of course, but none quite as "AAAAAHHHHHHHHH" as...

Double KO logic is on a per-boss basis. There is always some condition that must be met for the encounter to save as finished. Sometimes that's just beating the boss. For Kratarac it's entering the portal. For Terravine it's touching the toolbox, which brings up an interesting situation: if you doub...

You shouldn't worry about the optional weapons honestly, I mean admittedly I didn't find all of them but of the ones I got they are all inferior to the basic one except in a few specific scenarios (one of them has more lag and smaller hitbox for a bit more damage which is absurdly bad) 2 weapons ar...

raocow, why haven't you gone back and gotten any of the weapons you missed? Because they're incredibly well hidden and he hasn't requested hints, which is totally up to him. In other news... We are at the halfway point. At this point the areas and bosses take a huge spike in difficulty. Whether or ...

What are your problems, specifically?

Usually it's just a matter of linking in the right libs.
