A Hat in Time Death Wish - Wishing for Peace and Tranquility

[Grounder]

boy are you all going to feel stupid when it's

super cat bros

anyway, this is gonna prove itself to be a mistake from everything i can gather

[raocow]

is it normal for games to be this vibration-y? not a huge fan of indie game "juice" ig

Hatricia lives



We should get her hats back in this thread.

Gonna try and tie up some loose ends with Death Wish now. Some of the ones I remember being stuck on are

the cruise ship bonus challenges and the boss rush.

Not looking forward to doing those. I think the

Rift Collapse speedrunning challenges

are incredibly fun, however.

Good luck on these rao, I remember struggling mightily on a couple such that I had to use a thing to complete them. :P
Didn't need it for too many, maybe 3 or 4 total?

I remember in 2020 where people were debating among each other whether Death Wish should be included or excluded, and some people were advocating a compromise solution of "just try out a little bit of it at the end"; he decided to just hold it off for another time. But I'm pretty thrilled about seeing more of AHiT.

I think the real mistake is if he returned to WL3 to get all the music coins

I'm dreading this turning into a second Pantheon of Hallownest but cautiously optimistic for now

if this happens I will go directly to Canada and eat his computer

Looks like raocow's playing this part of A Hat in Time, cool. I didn't watch raocow's playthrough of the main game since I had yet to play the game for myself, but now I have, so I'm ready to watch raocow take on these challenges. It's been a while since I played, so I'm also curious how much I'll remember. Off the top of my head I can only remember a small handful of these challenges, but I'm sure there will be many where my memories will come rushing back to me as soon as I see them. In any case I'm looking forward to seeing how raocow handles things.

this is a rain world level terrible idea, which means there was never any hope of convincing rao not to do it

anyways, today's level looked miserable to play so i'm glad rao had fun

I have only seen a couple choice parts of Death Wish beforehand but honestly I respect a 3D platformer that goes full on giga-serious mode? You see it a lot with 2D platformers these days but very few 3D ones have ever taken the plunge. Not sure how this will combo with raocow's infamous 3D problems though - or rather, this first video already gives a sign of where this might go.

[Grounder]

At the very least, don't feel obligated to 100% death wish

at least one level is totally not worth it

[TiKi]

I think the real mistake is if he returned to WL3 to get all the music coins

I presume that this means that you do not consider 100%ing Soldexus with both characters to be a mistake!

[pholtos]

Went ahead and opened up my save to see just which ones I used

peace and tranquility

on for death wish in my LP of the game.

Wound-Up Windmill
No More Bad Guys
Breaching the Contract (To unlock P&T on Seal the Deal, I beat it properly before then)
Boss Rush
Seal the Deal (Requires either EX-Snatcher P&T and any other EX-Boss P&T (or possibly even just Ex-Snatcher P&T) or all Ex-Boss P&T's besides Ex-Snatcher to be available)
Rift Collapse: Deep Sea
Cruisin' for a Bruisin'

[ano0maly]

We sure could have used a seal that likes to clap in this mafia paradise

I think the real mistake is if he returned to WL3 to get all the music coins

I presume that this means that you do not consider 100%ing Soldexus with both characters to be a mistake!

At least with that game, in the unlikely event it happens, the experience with the second character would be somewhat better. A music coins run, from what I gather in the game thread, would be just inviting unneeded misery.

Holy crap i forgot how much i LOVE how quickly Hatricia climbs ladders. It's glorious. Must be that climbing ladders in real life is so slow and annoying that being able to quickly scamper up one in a vidgame feels universally good.

[Grounder]

The best way to beat the level involves some outside of the box thinking.

[raocow]

I don't think that was intended.

Somebody in the youtube comments mentioned that many of the death wishes have been nerfed since the original release, so I thought i would document the changes when I see them.

First up: the timed bonus in So You're Back from Outer Space used to be 65 seconds, bascially requiring full sprint hat the whole way with barely any room for error.

Also, the Beat the Heat fire timer was originally 60 seconds between water and pain, before being increased to 85 seconds.

okay so i watched the first episode and this looks miserable so im not watching lmao

oh yeah there is one of those isn't there lmao

[TheFunPolice]

Ah, Mafia Rift Collapse. It's always impressive how well optimised the rainbow effect is.

Also raocow, the way that lives used to work was that they were on a lot of levels and failing 3 times would kick you out of the level and lock it for 5 minutes. This was terribad and hated by basically everyone so it was patched out of almost every level but Rift Collapses, and also made to not apply after finishing the main objective.

This level got nerfed hard, and pretty sneakily too. The timer speed was reduced by 25%, so now 15s passes on the clock for 20s realtime. While originally the level and bonus timers were 150s and 30s remaining, the new timers are effectively 200s and 40s.

The Mafia at release were also ludicrously fast and basically required the potion hat to deal with quickly.

[Grounder]

The minimum appears to be 5,000.
