February 2010: NP claims La-Mulana has six weapons, eleven subweapons, and nine guardians. But the final game has five, nine, and eight respectively. An error, or perhaps the game was going to be larger before Nicalis dropped out?

Re: La-Mulana - Delightful Wallpaper
Ba (the face bird with a face) is probably the most annoying subboss in the game simply due to how awful that arena is so good on you for finding a breaking strategy pretty easily, i had a ton of trouble with that guy myself

Re: La-Mulana - Delightful Wallpaper
Of all the load-bearing puzzles in the midgame, solving the entirety of Flooding the Tower and getting the Plane Model is probably the biggest one. Like, I'd consider Eden the first big tipping point of the game, and Flooding the Tower the second big tipping point. So hey, yo, progress town is here.
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.

Re: La-Mulana - Delightful Wallpaper
I can't believe how much progress was made today. I was ready for a whole lot of being stonewalled for progress, but my expectations subverted! This probably has the most progress I've seen as far as progressing in every which way. So much has opened up for raocow, to an absurd degree. Hopefully their memories will lead them to make use of their new tool, to do all they can with that.
Re: La-Mulana - Delightful Wallpaper
Finally! The Chamber of Birth! And to think Mulbruk name dropped this place as one of her first hints to raocow.
She said this place had the key to lighting up the Chamber of Extinction permanently, but I think at this point of the game that's not a big issue anymore.
Anyways, my thoughts on the Chamber of Birth. Least favorite. I'd say its harder to navigate than Confusion Gate.

Re: La-Mulana - Delightful Wallpaper
I won't disagree that it's more difficult than the Gate of Illusion but it's still one of my favorite fields. The general theme and bgm for the field are both great and help make up for how ridiculous solving the field actually is.
Re: La-Mulana - Delightful Wallpaper
It's funny that raocow has chosen the Katana as his current favorite weapon, because I find it to be one of the worst in my experience. Its slow speed and downwards arc makes it bad for fighting bats or anything above you, and it doesn't feel super powerful with each swing. I suppose I prefer the speed and strength of the whip or the big attack arc of the axe.
Re: La-Mulana - Delightful Wallpaper
Personally I prefer the whip and only switch to others specifically for their attack range or, in the case of getting something like the axe really early on I'll use it until I get something better. Most of the non-whip primary weapons actually kinda suck in comparison to the whips. Knife is fast but has no range at all, axe has fairly high damage but its vertical range is only marginally better than the whip and it's fairly slow, key sword doesn't do great damage and only has marginally better horizontal range than the whip, and the katana actually has a decent attack range (at least for covering downward attacks) and does adequate damage but it's so godawfully slow for some reason that it gets delegated to basically useless. It is superior to the knife though simply due to the fact that its larger attack range actually means it can reach a few things from spots the knife can't but those are largely superfluous spots that don't make much of a difference anyways.FPzero wrote: ↑4 years agoIt's funny that raocow has chosen the Katana as his current favorite weapon, because I find it to be one of the worst in my experience.

Re: La-Mulana - Delightful Wallpaper
I forgot just how much the plane unlocks. Bombs, Chamber of Birth, and alternate entrances to like four or five areas.
And hoo boy, Chamber of Birth. One of the toughest parts of the game in every sense. Can't wait to see just how raocow fumbles through this area against everyone's expectations.

Re: La-Mulana - Delightful Wallpaper
Everyone's talking about how rough the Chamber of Birth is, but look on the bright side, the music is catchy.
About Ba, many guides on La-Mulana say
The Ba fight reminds me of Moldorm from A Link to the Past. A boss that is very weak, but forces you to restart because of ring outs, and getting back in the ring is a chore. Moldorm is the worst boss in LttP, you can't convince me otherwise.
Ba comes from Egyptian myth, the Ba is the unique character of a person or object, often appearing as a bird with a human head.
roacow identifies the second miniboss as a sickle weasel (the name the game uses is Kamaitachi), a Japanese yokai with a lot of regional variants. They're jerks who ride wind and slash peoples' legs to deliver woulds that are unnoticeable at first, but latter become critical. They're sometimes associated with cold winds, hence the appearance in the Graveyard of the Giants.

Re: La-Mulana - Delightful Wallpaper
In this episode, raocow finally gets his stand. raocow's stand is foreshadowed
unrelated note: raocow inspired me to complete la mulana 2, and I am proud to say that the final boss is kicking my ass.

Re: La-Mulana - Photopia
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 most hated puzzle/obstacle in the entire game.
So how about we ponder these puzzles and challenges over a bowl of curry?

Specifically, that leaning pillar at around 9:30.

Re: La-Mulana - Photopia
the chamber of birth is a special kind of hell. i've said it before in this thread (probably behind ispoiler tags) that it's my least favorite area in the game, and i stand by that opinion. it is bonkers annoying.

Re: La-Mulana - Photopia
Chamber of Birth is a special hell and probably my least favorite zone in the entire game. It's basically "what if Illusion was less honest about being hell and was worse to solve." In no uncertain terms, getting to the grail point is probably one of the most infuriating things to do.

Re: La-Mulana - Photopia
So it probably hasnt been said enough that the katana is bad (for the environment of la mulana), but I legit did not know that you can die to the money farming boxes.
Because raocow was using an underhand swing weapon, the boxes on top don't get broken and thus hit Lemeza first. This would not have happened with the whip or the axe.
Even discounting all the other times it has gotten him into trouble by not having an overhead swing so enemies just bully him into redoing 5 minutes of content, it is literally so bad that it can get you killed. That's some sonic 06 tier stuff.
