How the fuck do I play this game? I die if anything so much as looks at me, and I can never kill anything. Is it possible to play through the game without ever having to learn how to do combat?
Ignore rocks and only pick up spears. Lizards can only be killed by being pierced by a spear twice. If the lizard is crawling on a wall, they can be pinned by a spear. Never aim at their head
What about scavengers? They cause more problems than anything. I'm in the Garbage Wastes right now, and there's a hive of them I can't get past. I really want to know what's beyond them, but I can only rarely get past the first wave, much less the second. It's frustrating. Before long I'm just gonna say fuck it and try to go somewhere else.
>Is it possible to play through the game without ever having to learn how to do combat?
I guess but it's gonna make it substantially harder.
Rocks are for stunning, spears are for killing, everything else is situational or last resort (bombs).
Most creatures reel from being speared, you can use this to your advantage by ripping the spear off of them and immediately stabbing them again.
Finally, don't panic. Every enemy has recognizable attack patterns and panicking will most likely just end up making you fall off a cliff.
Pay the toll you damn slug
Scavengers are erratic. You can trade just about anything with them but they will really like you if you give them pearls. Don’t threaten them, move slowly and crouch and then give them a pearl. They will give you their spear and they won’t try to attack you
You can, but it'll be hard. Sometimes you'll just be cornered by a lizard or some other creature and fighting will be your only hope.
Also, ignore , rocks can be very valuable. Lizards can deflect your spears if you hit them in the head, but if you stun them with a rock first then you can spear then in the fucking head no problem. I found that the most important thing I had to learn to become confident about fighting was that you can take out the spear you've used on an enemy from them to stab them again with. Since getting stabbed stuns them if you're fast you can stab them, take the spear out and stab them again.
Fighting the scavengers is extremely dangerous and you shouldn't risk that before you've become very used to the game. Try trading with them instead of fighting, you animal.
I managed to get past them when the rain started to fall and they ran for their lives, all I saw past them was a dead end, would not recommend.
Try not being a fucking barbarian for once.
>Scavengers are erratic.
god dammit Yea Forums must you sexualize everything
I spent an hour trying to kill them all. I never considered that they wouldn't be hostile if I just waltzed up to them. I tried throwing one at them, but that didn't do anything.
I read about the rock stun/spear loop. Gonna try and make use of that next time.
You drop items, not throw anything at them
How is "erratic" sexual in any way? The sexhead here is you, buddy.
There are multiple tolls in the game, and paying to get past them is always useful. Some more than others, though.
You can use the arena mode to practice fighting, I found that extremely helpful for getting further into the game. That said, you sound like you're overemphasizing fighting. Being aware of your environment and staying out of the way of predators are much more important skills. I think I killed five lizards tops in my entire first playthrough.
user...
why did he do it?
because he wanted to fucking kill himself
It’s a complex situation. Looks to the Moon and 5P are both at blame for everything. 5P was consuming too much water that he forgot Looks to the Moon needed any and Looks to the Moon is to blame for interrupting 5P during his experimentation. Unfortunate development is all on Looks to the Moon. You cannot only blame 5P
Moon had no way to know what the fuck 5P was even doing. Did you want her to just not try to communicate with him while he was literally killing her?
Finally made it past them and all I got was some lousy arena items. Still, thanks everybody for the tips.
What do you mean? Their warehouse is usually filled with bombs and explosive spears, it's extremely useful getting in there.
They were created to find a solution, 5P was doing his job. He didn’t realize he was doing anything wrong
There's no way for us to know if 5P was aware of the damage he was causing to Moon, but given his attitude it's entirely possible he knew and didn't care. That aside, even if he didn't know that still doesn't leave any of the blame on Moon. She could either try asking him to stop killing her or die.
Brilliant! Amazing thread. Easily my favorite thread this week. Thanks user.
How do I unlock lore? Is it by bringing pebbles to moon? When I tried she didn't react.
completed my first hunter run the other day
how the fuck does anyone do this?
>They were created to find a solution, 5P was doing his job.
They were created to find a solution for EVERYONE ELSE.
5P was being a selfish prick trying to find a way around his forced coding so he could kill himself.
There's a "secret" area before the scavengers with lots of that stuff too.
You need to bring colored pearls to Moon, but you also need to have received a certain gift to be able to talk to her
I understand now. I tried to do it before getting the gift.
Reminder that you should actually be thanking 5P. By unintentionally killing Looks to the Moon, he ended her suffering and freed her from her futile existence.
Except she isn't dead, she's "just" crippled, without her memories, cold, hurt and has to drown every day without being able to die
She's on the brink of death when the slugcats meet her. Its safe to assume she only has a couple dozen cycles left to live, If you don't end up killing her yourself.
Good to see that the developers are still doing stuff. But where's my 1.7 update for PC?
go back to trying to figure out how to kill yourself 5P you fag
>how the fuck does anyone do this?
you tell us, I think I got out of farm arrays once and called it quits
>finally do everything right and get to the gate to outskirts
>pearl toll
Who's excited for the sequel?
Is there actually going to be a sequel, or is it only a funny video?
Don't know. But we already live in a Bart world.
>feel urge to try to beat the game
>shaded citadel
:^)
>tfw you go in without a light source
fucking horrifying
When I replay the game again I'm going to look forward to Shaded Citadel. The area is comfy and it's neat how you have to change your play style.
>The area is comfy
what are you, jack skellington? there are horrible greebly little spiders, that one pit you can't get out of if you fall without a spear, and it's pitch black. that's the opposite of comfy to me
haha look at them go
I like how it's pitch black, except for the small amount of light you get from those other animals. I used to eat meals in almost pitch blackness like that. The only way I could see if the plate was done was by using using moonlight, or the light from the microwave clock.
I'm an unhealthy adult.
my understanding is that you wanna go to the sky islands from farm arrays since you need to visit echoes to ascend
why are these kinds of designs so based?
Fuck these jumps, holy shit.
believe in yourself, user
No. I've been trying this bullshit for 30 minutes. I spend half the cycle falling over and over. I get to the next area, only to be shat on by a vulture. The more I play, the less consistent I am in making those faggot jumps. Good fucking god I hate this game.
>no
You give yourself too much shit.
plus there are other ways around than just that. Its been forever since I played the game though so I barely even remember the map
there's nothing up there
I'm gonna say no, I don't think it's possible to complete the game without figuring out the combat.
It's damn near unavoidable up The Leg without ridiculous luck.
>Good fucking god I hate this game.
No need to be tsundere user. We all know you love this game.
I think I made it to some scavenger shrine or something, I can't remember, and then a scavener came out of nowhere and put a spear through my head. Anyway, I've uninstalled the game now. I like the atmosphere and environments, but it's just way too frustrating to play.
You don't need echoes, the hunter is already marked. You can go directly to the end of the game right away if you're so inclined.
You're right that it's a good idea to climb the wall if you want to visit pebbles though, it's faster and (debatably) easier than going the long way around.
I need some more of this shit but with some Hollow Knight, BABA is YOU, and Ori god fucking dammit.
This slug nigga a cute. A CUTE.
chill out for a bit and come back when you're ready. for some people it just clicks after a while.
From my very limited understanding the frustration is intentional.
There was an article linked here threads ago talking about how it's an integral part of the experience. I never finished reading all of it so I don't completely understand it.
Making characters this cute should be criminal.
some war crime tier shit it is.
You can spend a while practicing against a lizard, but the most practical combat I ever used in my playthrough was just hitting them in the head to give me enough time to escape.
It's not a combat-focused game at all.
best game EVER!
been just over a year since ive first played this, still stuck in my head.
did that big mod ever come out? or is there a good mode for a 2nd playthrough?
I hate this image almost as much as i hate the other image
Stop playing it like fucking Hollow Knight. Pay the damn toll and jump for it as soon as you see one grab it.
is there any other game that can scratch the itch
GOURFIELF
where did all my neurons go??
I really do love this game. thanks, Yea Forums, wouldn't have even known about it without you.
There's a bunch of mods, even a multiplayer one
Adult Swim should release some merch of the game. I'd proudly display a slugcat wherever I'd go.
Why do you hate those images?
There are points where the frustration is definitely intentional. One point in particular is incredibly cruel, but getting over it creates a catharsis unlike anything else.
This games sense of catharsis is better than Souls games. With them when I beat a boss I never felt too happy. In comparison Rain World made me excited when I found a new shelter or gate.
>One point in particular is incredibly cruel, but getting over it creates a catharsis unlike anything else.
are you talking about the shelter that appears right outside memory crypts? the one next to the bottomless pit?
Ah, so you do know which image I'm talking about. I was just checking if anyone here remembers.
>doing deathless run
>fall to my death in Sky Islands
EVERY
FUCKING
TIME
IT'S LIKE HUNTER IN REVERSE
>One point in particular is incredibly cruel, but getting over it creates a catharsis unlike anything else.
It really is unfortunate, isn't it? But god damn is it worth it. I wonder if people who go to GSB the long way around appreciate it as much as those who suffer through UD.
yes you can play through the game without knowing combat. it's how you're mostly supposed to play the game anyway. just play it like any videogame: you learn patterns and abuse them naturally. you don't need to "defeat" anything.
I was actually thinking about getting to the top of the Underhang and finding a max karma gate.
I've been in these threads for a while, and if I see one I try and keep them alive. There aren't that many infamous images in these threads.
IT'S LIKE A BIRTH BUT IT IS IN REVERSE

>first time I finally manage to get past the snibedy snabs
>rain kills me during the door opening animation
Had to stop the game for that day.
oh yeah that was a real kick in the nuts, especially having to grind from base Karma. Totally forgot about all the frustration when I jumped into Zero Gravity for the first time. I was so amazed I had to put the controller down and walk around the room muttering "what a fucking game"
For real though, what a fucking amazing game. I just wish I could get my friends to stick with it for more than a couple hours. They never make it past Garbage Wastes.
Thanks for reminding me that I need to listen to the new HaNL album.
Same shit happened to me, except I was on the great wall. The Snippedy Snaps scared the shit out of me when I first heard them.
They made Trespassers W a worse song on it. Every other song was good, but none of them stood out
Even through the lens of a horribly cheap looking trailer the game still looks good.
So how does death work in this? Everything is stuck in a carmic cycle, death does not come for anyone except when they drown in void fluid correct? So how can you end up killing a lizzard or barfly? Is slugcat immortal/ can't die of old age?
