raocow's talkhaus

I thought you had to explicitly unlock the second meaning of the mantras first.

The only relevant symbols to solve the puzzles are the seals and the asterisks, but what about the other two circular symbols? Does anyone here know if they have some kind of meaning in the lore, or are they just meant to be decorations/red herrings? I've always wondered about that.

They're just visual noise to keep you from solving the puzzle without understanding the symbols. I'm all but certain they have no deeper meaning.

maybe they were copied for the real la-mulana

I read that the stretch goal for a postgame area didn't get met but they might add it later, was it?

Maybe, the next stretch goal after the last one met would be (from the kickstarter page:) "Evil Stages La-Mulana had the insidiously difficult Hell Temple, and at this stretch goal, we'll add an even more difficult stage to La-Mulana 2. Do...do you even want that?!"
And there is an unfinished area hinted at in the game files (Oanne's Tower) that is speculated to be this difficult stage. There is no sign them actually finishing it though as far as I've seen.

and iirc he's the only guardian in either game who actually creates life mid battle. I know a couple minibosses can do that, but their spawns are generally just babies or whatever. In a sense, he came the closest to replicating the Mother's power out of anyone.

It's a damn shame he's such a comparatively weak boss. Even in hard mode he doesn't put up much of a fight and in normal mode he's kind of a joke.

Not sure why this is spoilerd tbh

Instead, there's a small image of a mantra summon on that same tablet, and so I took it upon myself to figure out what the mantra configuration was to make it look like the image on the tablet, then tried that. Still worked! But I like the proper solution better.

Why does a freeware game get a bonus area but a kickstartered game that you pay for doesn't?

I've heard reports that they may still put in Oannes' Tower sometime, and lots of unused assets for it are still in the game code, most notably a visible exit in the La-Mulana ruins map into Spring in the Sky which never comes into play.

Donut wrote: ↑2 years ago From what I have heard, along with the aforementioned fact that Naramura has done the bulk of the work on the series, midway through development on 2 his biggest co-developer had to stop due to illness, leaving him to pick up all their work. So stuff like that really wasn't on the table for the game at release, if at all. Still,
