Do you restart until you get the starter dynamite too? Outclasses every single other secondary, path opener with more uses, precise first level mining for up to 16 gold pockets, etc. Maybe it's just 'tism.
Do you restart until you get the starter dynamite too?
I mod the game to make it immensely easier and die in the fungal caves. We are not the same.
TFW the uzi robots.
>resetting out of unstable crystal start
Never gonna make it. It's probably the easiest start just because of the insane amounts of trick gold you can make without ever exposing yourself. Yeah you can replace it with a tablet once you get one, but not needing to backtrack is better than needing to.
I'll make an exception for that one in the right mood, I broke my year old gold record with double value nuggets and the trick greed perks for like 6x gold killing with crystals.
>unstable crystal
those things are fricking incredible
Also, it'll get you up to the altar no problem for the free +25 health. Unlike bombs
qrd? which altar?
Think he's talking about the stuff floating above the mountain. Depending on your starting wands, by making small hole in the side of the mountain to use a ledge, you can go up there and get an orb.
Yup, the altar floating over the top of the mountain. There's an orb up there for +25 max health and a tablet. You can sell tablets by placing them on the altar so I usually go down and get the tablet from the lava lake, then go up to the altar and sell both the lava lake tablet and the tablet you find up there.
In addition to an explosive spell, you need a flask of liquid to spray yourself with to get extra jetpack height.
i don't restart until i hit the first holy mountain with no breakout or easy steves

Mestari having poly shots really is some shit.
for some reason big gay al makes me sweat unless I'm really juiced, I've killed him a few dozen times but still make some goofy nervous mistakes taking him on
Ylialkemisti is the boss that noobs struggle with the most because they don't understand how his shield works, but he's a huge pushover once you learn the timing. If you haven't fought the robot spider yet that's my vote for hardest boss, maybe the "new" maggot boss is harder tho
The ghost deer gives the rest a run for their money
No, I restart until I get a seed with perks I want in the first two mountains.
>Taking a perk before rolling perk lottery
no, I play every run then get mad when I get killed by offscreen bullshit in the snow depths and stop playing
Basically this, but place of death may vary between Fungal Caverns, Hiisi base and Jungle, rarely Temple of Arts, chasm because i am trying wand summoning fricker again, pyramid if i have easily diggable exit right near surface. Once i have tried to visit The Big Alchemist to the left of advanced mines and magically dark ponds (had firestone on me to steam out the water), but barely could deal with a single caster and only because i was behind the wall with a small opening for my projectiles.
Oh, yes, and i have seen sampo boss twice - once with invis and pacifist, once because i took "tp when hit perk", got accidentially to the boss because of this, started him and then immediately got tp-ed into nearest lava after first hit.
I rush to the first holy mountain, making sure I don't kill anything so I get a pacifist chest, and see if there's any good perk in there (immunity, seeing eye, or tinker only) and if there isn't I intentionally die in the coal pits. There is no point continuing if you don't get a good perk immediately
Pacifist chests are worthless. They'd be breddy gud if the negative results like bombs were removed from the pool, but unfortunately they're not. Getting a measly 200 gold in the Mines for a reroll and walking out is an infinitely better use of your time.
They have a chance to give higher tier wands so you're wrong, and rushing to the mountain not killing anything is usually fast because you just need to find a way down
>Pacifist chests are worthless.
see
a free max health upgrade is definitely not worthless
there's a "pacifist chest"? shut the frick up
Yes, there's even an achivement in the achievement pillars for not killing anything in the whole game if you make it to kolmi and beat the game. The pacifist chest spawns next to the perks in every holy mountain
>spawn without water flask
>no water in sight
No, I don’t feel like that really matters. You should have more than enough gold to get what you need assuming you explore the early levels patiently.
The only times I intentionally reset are if I get to Jungle or The Vault without good damage, and if the mines are that "smells like soil after rain" modifier with all the fricking vines growing all over the place, frick that.
>resetting at the Jungle or Vault when you can go to the Overgrown Caves as soon as you have a digging wand, which is safer than the Fungal Caves
Jesus, you people fricking suck at this game.
>walking for literally 10 minutes just to get asploded by a nuclear mushroom
I seriously hope you guys don't do this. At least make sure you have a teleport wand first.
Literally the only mushrooms you have to worry about are the green cap dudes. The other enemy types can be safely ignored and the respawning spores are easily avoidable. Just don't explode the acid shrooms to avoid creating chaos and it's infinitely safer than the average Fungal Cave trip with wasps and robocops and other shit.
Magic Missile is my preferred starting secondary because it can clear terrain but is also consistently good at taking out early big targets. Plus if you're lucky and get unlimited spells it's a great spell to pump modifiers onto early on. My go-to early wands are triplecasted triplicate bolts with freezing and homing and a damage boosted magic missile with as low of a recharge time/cast delay as I can
>get like 900 gold and good wands
>doing well
>get to ice caves
>an electric man shoots a giant ball of electricity at me from way off screen, instantly die with 175 health and defensive perks
>if I dont die i am stunned and die slowly
This game is genuinely unplayable without mods, it's barely playable with them.
Enormous skill issue, that projectile goes so slowly that not being able to dodge it means you weren't prioritizing your actions in combat correctly
Faulted.
you can usually hear the sound effect that enemy makes from far away. and the projectile makes a giant noise when it's launched. now you know
Ukko is definitely a noob filter. His projectiles are piss easy to dodge unless he somehow gets the drop on you. Given how noisy he is, he shouldn't ever get the drop on you. It's been forever since I've died to him.
Use alternate biomes mod and reroll until you get Blast Pit to replace Coal Pits. That place has gigantic gold veins and they're constantly being exposed by environmental explosions
>watch videos of people finding a god wand in the ice caves then immediately building a 1 million damage wand in the next mountain
>meanwhile i cant even find a half decent wand by the jungle
its so over
I found a godly wand in the ice caves that fricking one shot everything. Downside: the wand had a special explosion on every cast effect that chunked my health. Lol frick me.
I'll have runs like that where I can't find a single decent spell, wand, or perk, then I'll get one where I find a god wand in the fungal caves and get perk lottery, unlimited spells, and every immunity by the time I get to Hiisi Base
Here's a tip. Wands with terrible refresh rate, but lots of slots can be used effectively by loading them with 1 more spell that you don't cast.
If you switch wands before all the spells are cast, and switch back you instantly reload and can fire from the start again.
Generally you can find something better than this, but this can help you salvage some otherwise truly screwed runs.
Help, I'm not creative. I have the unlimited spells perk but I'm still stuck on ping-pong path luminous drill wand with damage plus and crit plus on it. How do I make a wand that shoots someone that just goes and kills things instantly?
Get a big damage spell like meteor or giga magic missile on a good capacity wand with high mana regen, stack a shit ton of modifiers like damage up, crit up, homing, freeze and shock, etc. on it, lower the cast delay and recharge time on it as much you can. That'll be your point click and delete wand. Another combo I like is homing giga death cross with homing freezing field casted alongside it
My favorite type of build is using the Note spells from inside the tree..
Put a few of them inside a trigger/timer, increase lifetime with stuff like increased lifetime and spiral/ping-pong path, and pretty much any type of homing. Then just pile damage on as you find stuff... 0 mana cost modifiers like horizontal path and linear arc are big for this early on. This type of build scales incredibly well as you just find more and more applicable modifiers. One somewhat rare and otherwise less used modifier I like for this is phasing arc so the notes can make it through terrain easily, projectile area teleport is nice, damage field is huge.
grab some trigger spell and multicast a shit ton of tnt boxes and explosives spells. Be careful with shields, first time I reached the final boss I fricking deleted myself
>double spell
>spark bolt with trigger
>double spell
>homing

Goes around seeking enemies, turning them into sheep and drowning them in electrified acid. You might want to keep your distance from the effects.
look into infiniwhisps and "summons"
or use rock with homing for budget that.
All the repliers have made me realize I haven't gotten the Unlimited Spells perk even once since I started to play regularly again a week ago. RNGesus giveth and taketh. ;-;
Is there a mod that removes all of the pointless trash perks from the game?
I would like to know too. Top tier would be a perk manager to hand pick everything.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT WANT TO REMOVE THE CORE WAND MODIFYING MECHANIC FOR MORE GOLD. Full agreement on a serious note though, some are 'why does this exist' tier bad.
none of the perks are like that
even the bad ones are fun to pick sometimes
Maybe they're not at that extreme overexaggerated level, but when some are next to two other perks in holy mountain I often think... I would just never hit confirm on some of those. Like electrify for making annoying explosions in areas like hiisi base and teleportitis.
>none of the perks are like that
He literally described one of them you ignoramus. Also let's not forget Gold is Forever literally bricks your game.
No. No more tinkering and teleportitis are fricking moronic and would never be fun in any situation
>'why does this exist'
noita had a gay discord community + streaming community in early access/launch and the devs catered to those moronic homosexuals, thinking theycould some how viral market their autism wizard game to mainstream normies
>lol lets make the game harder for no reason
>oh you want more challenge okay we will add the ability to get shit perks that limit gameplay 😉
>oh you want specific balance changes some people dont want, okay now they are optional rng perks gl getting them when you want it ;p
I think there's too many perks that aren't very good unless combined with other perks. Like invisibility is almost useless unless you have stainless armor. The resistance perks still leave you open to aspects of damage that you'd think would be blocked, for instance explosions still damage you with explosive resistance because the explosions always cause fires, or some electric attacks AFAIK have an explosive component to them that still damages you through electric immunity.
>Like invisibility is almost useless unless you have stainless armor
You heavily underestimate the power to avoid fights until the very moment you're ready to engage.
I just play no matter what I get, the fun of this game IS all the weird rng/skill issue bullshit.
i still have no clue how to wand build
same and I've somehow beaten this game twice now
inconsistent game with inconsistent mechanics, one drop of acid = enjoy your ticking damage
20 drops of water to get rid of ticking acid damage --> nope actually you have to use 50!
this game is like a personified version of a moron
>calls toxic sludge acid
well you were going to get filtered eventually might as well be in the first 10 minutes of the game

it's just a typical zoomerslop pixel indieshit roguelike, the constant bullshit deaths give streamers a reason to do moronic soi reactions for their viewers

Im gonna go take a look around.
The biggest problem for me is that you really need to get good perks/spells to actually have a decent run where you go to parallel worlds, ng+, etc. there is massive imbalance, add mana being basically the best spell and runs where you have add mana are completely different from runs where you don’t. Same with tinker with wand everywhere, just such a better perks than everything else in the game and completely changes the game. There are others too, half the perks are useless and 80% of the spells are useless
Yeah. I don't even really get the idea behind making so much esoteric content outside of the standard game when once you can take on one secret boss, it seems like you can destroy them all. I hope they make different games with their sandbox tech. They can't balance this one because by design it's to be broken.
I have like 200 deaths and the deepest I've gotten is the temple.
Is there hope for me Bros?
I bet you'll get your first win by 250 deaths.
Thanks Bros, I feel like I've been getting better. I really like when I get the green light spell and can make it shoot really fricking fast. Any other good spells that I might be sleeping on?
Pollen if your wand can shit them out fast enough. You can dig with them (tho there are much better options for that), kill frickers from around corners and most importantly they block projectiles. My first win was with a pollen spewing machinegun as my main wand
damage modifiers are really powerful in general. be sure to read the spell descriptions, because some things actually add damage when you wouldnt expect them to
Spitter/Spark Bolt with Trigger (timer can work too depending on payload etc) + Mulitcasts (double spell, triple scatter, etc) + pretty much any spells you have mana to cast together. My first handful of wins were basically just this type of simple trigger with big payload style wand. Triplicate Bolts are awesome putting in the payload, spark bolts give 5% crit chance per, and when you put modifiers in the payload they stack like crazy. Modifiers like Horizontal Path and Linear Arc ordinarily may seem bad because they ruin the usability of spells.. but inside a trigger like this they're free damage because the payload doesn't need to travel to hit the enemy.
I feel like such a brainlet for not realizing how true your wand building tip is with Horizontal Path and Linear Arc with this level of playtime damn man
I can easily see how people would look over them, trying to actually use them is moronic so you kinda just mentally filter them when you see them. They're really good when you can use them. Spiral Arc and Orbiting Arc are double good because they add damage AND lifetime for free. These all also come with a small amount of cast delay reduction.
Like anon said above it's always good looking closely at spell modifier tooltips because some of them are more useful for what is basically a sub-effect rather than the seeming main purpose of the spell.
Speaking of lifetimes, if you do this, go and grab a few note spells from the tree. They have built in piercing.
With the lifetime + damage from the arcs, they are disgustingly good in a payload.
>Any other good spells that I might be sleeping on?
An unconventional one but my absolute favorite will always be mist of spirits. While it doesn't do any damage by itself, you can pair it with so many other things and be really damn good. Just have a way to launch it away from you, and home towards enemies, and from you have lots of options what to pair it with. Ones I like are the shit that circles around you (fireballs, laser beams, etc) or the thing which deals damage when its in a certain radius, great for mists since they don't despawn when coming in contact with enemies. Reason for mist of spirits specifically is that other mists usually slow you down/block certain spells like the lasers, while mist of spirits only makes you a bit tipsy (a benefit) doesn't slow your movement at all, and from what I've seen it never blocks any spell.
Alternatives that do similar things are death cross (make sure you're explosive proof) or delayed spellcast (the spell itself, not what it'll spawn after it, works well if you extend the timer on it and have it speed up as well) But I always saw that mist of spirits spawns the most frequent and is easiest to get working. I love it so much
>temple
you've got this, bro
90% of Noita players give up just before they accomplish the Great Work.

I'm such a fricking idiot. I know how to deal with this spell, yet every time I get into a longer noita run certain intrusive thoughts trump all, and I do the stupidest shit imaginable. Majority of my runs which I get multiple hours in I die due to stupid shit like this, stuff which for the amount of hours I have in this game I really shouldn't do.
>Do you restart until you get the starter dynamite too?
I never restart a run, regardless what I get. No matter what wands you have, you can just go to the right side of the mines, get a tablet, and just lob that for the rest of the run
Luv me prickly shroom pod
Doing that sucks because it pads your death count to massive levels. I didn't even notice this until about 100 or so, so used a save editor to fix it.
Does your death count affects anything but your ego and your ability to show off anonimously on vietnamese basket weaving forum?

Does Noita have Magicka-vibes where you mix elements together to cast "cool" (admittedly lots of balls + element but there's some variety) spells? Or is it just a roguelike/te with guns cosplaying as wands and you might hit an OP build where things just explode into screen-wide particles endgame?
Both. Try it.
The only thing which explodes endgame is your PC.
>Does Noita have Magicka-vibes where you mix elements together to cast "cool" (admittedly lots of balls + element but there's some variety) spells?
yes absolutely
it's not really possible to pick up a wand that's powerful enough to clear screens with particles like that, it would be a pretty complicated wand. Most of the time when you pick up a really good wand it'll just kill you
In practice it's mostly the latter but there are people out there that make some genuine fricking artwork tier spells with their wands like webm related or a bunch from r*ddit link below
https://www.reddit.com/user/Sairiel/overview
There are 3 types of wands in Noita
>lame wants
>cool wands that instagib anything you might face
>even cooler wands that instagib YOU, and sometimes you entire computer
>Does Noita have Magicka-vibes where you mix elements together to cast "cool" spells?
Yeah, that's one of the main gimmicks
>Or is it just a roguelike/te with guns cosplaying as wands
It's got those too. You've got plenty of options
I don't restart at all. The good luck may come later on, like the one time I found the extremely rare healing water. Also it's good to learn to deal with what you're given.
>note to self
>never use giga black holes against bosses that can copy your spells
I learned the hard way how pants-shitting these spells can be if you aren't careful with them. I was so close to winning this pacifist run, but a stray one managed to shoot by me. They're a lot more chaotic around the center of the shot, since I was trying to get the most bang for my buck with my limited casts.
Wait, can you kill enemies with the tablet and still get the pacifist chest, or does that count as a kill?
Its kinda buggy where sometimes it'll count as a kill.
it counts as an accidental kill, so pacifist safe
if you get double gold it counts as a trick kill and wont against the pacifist chest, but it is inconsistent and will sometimes give you normal gold and count as your kill
Wait does Noita have a story? I just assumed it was all in service to the particles
It's basically just a glorified Finland simulator.
there's lore, a lot of it is based on alchemy and finnish mythology
there's very little real story though
I never restart because I use a mod that makes my starting items the same every run.
Skill issue.
nothing personnel kid
I love noita webms.

You don't need 100ms reaction speed if you check your surroundings instead of blindly run down.

After that, you can go for dragon kills, greek kills, triangle kills, and whatever else you want to do. Getting access to teleports and a healing bolt are the door to starting a god run. The quintessential ultrakill build is to put homing piercing on a trigger spell, but keep in mind that a swapper mage could instagib you if you're going too crazy with it. Machine guns are safer but less effective on some enemies like the alchemist, but you can bully him with explosive detonator if you get it. Not only does it delete his attack, but it also explodes his shield for some reason
(me)
Oh, and you can also keep holy mountains intact be either carefully teleporting out of them, or by sipping some poly and waltzing out as a sheep or a dirty little hisii
Whenever I get to a point in a game where I start wanting to reset for optimal starts I just stop playing because at that point I clearly no longer enjoy the game.
Do you guys ever use Swapper or Homebringer bolt? I feel like I've never found a use for those
No, but I can see swapper bolt being useful in specific scenarios.
You can use homebringer to cram heart mages and healers into nooks, and swapper is used for making parallel world teleport wands
>swapper is used for making parallel world teleport wands
Huh? What do you mean?
After you kill alchemist, try taking an infinite black hole through the borders on either side of the map
Fricking finally I got the giga holy nuke. Getting Toveri into the diamond was a fricking headache because he kept just going around the stupid diamond instead of just going into the fricking middle. And then killing him was easy, even if it took 10 minutes with a single drill bolt and a bunch of damage modifiers
how do I git gud at the game? and how do I learn what types of wands to look for?
Play more carefully than you currently are, and try not to die in the same way twice.
You can cast a deer into a parallel world and then use swapper to swap with it.
Learn how to break out of Holy Mountains without switching them off.
Exploit all the resources of the first 2 floors doing that, and get the hearts from the dark cave. Loop back to the surface from the right hand side of level 3 if you need to.
Breaking out of HM and being able to tinker with the wands a lot is very good for learning.
Chainsaws and drills are good
Black/White Hole is divine
Energy Orb is juicy
Trigger spells are run-winners
>Omega Sawblade comes back to you even with homing
I've made a huge mistake
saw blades have boomer rang mod
omega sawblades have innate boomer rang, piercing, matter eater and homing.
they will always try to return to you.
how do you make them frick off and stop bothering you and make them just focus on enemies instead?
telekinetic kick maybe?
you throw them into garbage
sawblades are suicide, that's all
Is death cross or plasma cutter a better payload?
Depends. It is easier to notice death cross in your face and run away, but cutter will deal more damage.
As a payload, death cross because I don't think any of the plasma spells apply modifiers to the damage dealing bit. Both are kinda crap as a payload, tho.

If I want to do NG+++, what's the best way to do it? Is it get 5 orbs first, beat the game and go to NG+, then 6, then 7, then 8?
Yeah, pretty much. Just remember that you should have your wands pretty much all set up with what you need before you hit NG+, since many bosses don't appear (including the Alchemist).
thoughts on Lukki Mutation?
Better than leggy mutation
I skip both everytime
i think it's a fun perk, i'll pick it up if i'm just trying to get a quick win and the other two options aren't very good
It's funny, but flying is too strong.
Run-defining perk like concentrated spells and glass cannon, but a lot less fun than either
A tier. I did the entire sun quest with lukki legs. Stacking full legs and speed modifiers makes your normal run speed fast enough to cross the world in about 30 seconds, and it's infinite flying energy inside the normal route for all intents and purposes. There are so many walls and ledges that the control it offers you is just grrat
If you need to reload to get the best starter weapon because they are randomized and hard to find otherwise, that is bad game design.
do you take your time from the start, or do you rush the first 2 or 3 areas?
Rushing is a terrrrrrrrrible idea. I'll happily spend 1-2 hours fully exploring zone 1 and 2, and might even wander over to wandmart if I get good digging.
Zone 3 is death though, rush that one.
Purely dependent on my mental state for me. I can be in a slump and ragequit at a first level shotgunner hitting all 3 pellets or be willing to clear every single level and room slowly like I'm some tacticool swat officer.
More often than not I take my time, there's certain items and areas I want to hit.
Doesn't mean rushing isnt ___fun___
I dont leave mines until I have 600-700 gold, then I go to fungal caverns to grab a decent no shuffle wand, if Im lucky enough to get black holes or teleport bolt I will go to the surface and grab some extra life and should have enough gold and spells to make a good wand

How long did it take you just to reach him?
God bless each of you repliers, first thread of mine to ever go triple digits after a year of mostly lurking and it was nice n comfy. Passing out time for me with one more shitty no effort ms paint meme lol. C:
Quick OP (or whoever the frick you are) before you go
How long does it take for Noita to click? I gave it a go and wasn't really gelling with it. I imagine part of the fun is learning how everything works and I don't want to be spoonfed, but is it something that takes time to get into or did it just work for everyone else?
I don't think it's reasonable to try to work everything out for yourself.
Use the wiki, use the stuff other people tell you, you'll still die a bunch, it'll still feel like you earned it when you eventually win.
When i realised the actual scope of the game is when it clicked big time for me.
Also realising just how free you actually are to do whatever the frick you feel like doing really scratched my itch for simulation-based video games as opposed to curated narrative corridors.
That being said, i feel like this is one of those games where getting gud is imperative to your enjoyment. The initial struggle was no fun but slowly getting better and growing your knowledge is extremely rewarding for that reason.
Finally, this game truly is about knowledge, in almost all aspects. Knowing more about the game and its secrets, both lore-wise and mechanically IS the point of the game and ultimately where it becomes truly fun to play.

This is a big reason why I adore this game
I love using them on fire mages and even steve
I recommend avoiding any wiki material until you beat the main path of the game and fight the final boss (commonly known as the tutorial). Everything along that path is meant to teach you how the game works. Once you've reached that milestone, feel free to take a gander at how much larger the world is and learn some of the tricks to get the most bang for your buck out of what you are given on any run.
Sleep well.
Always appreciate a Noita thread, and nice OC Anon
nta cant exactly say how long it took, but when I first discovered there was more to it than I first thought probably when I first explored the surface
t. 300 hours 2 wins
I go to ice and then go back up, if I haven't gotten a machine gun and digging by then I kms cause the run is over.
I haven't played since before they added new things though and I use a "mod" to save state because dying in a 100 hour run is cringe.
furthermore tinker everywhere should be default and this pic rel should not require custom modding the player json to achieve rather than juggling objects that can despawn.
I like this game but I really don't have the patience to wander around for 15 minutes at the start of every run to farm just to probably die at ice caves anyways
I've just accepted that I'll never see half the content in-game personally.
yeah, I get it, it can be pretty frustrating
I don't really have the patience to play more than a few games every once in a while
artificial difficulty: the game
Is it worth trying to unlock things before having my first win or should I just keep going as usual and try to win?
Just play and have fun.
You can beat the game without any unlocks if you're lucky, just having the telekinetic kick can btfo the main boss.
I just like crafting cool wands with Spell Lab and take a pared down version of that into a regular game as a handicap
>spend ages in mines because I can't resist the urge to explode every crate I see and watch anything wooden burn down
I have a problem
>Immediately going down into caves and never coming back up: spontaneously going to the club on a saturday
>Properly preparing for a run: getting called into work on a day off
Hi, it's me, the worst fricking explosive starter in the game!
I'm awful for digging, unpredictable, and dangerous to use!
It's a pacifists wet dream. Once you get homing, you've practically won the run..
It was scarier before they added the boss to it. Now it's a cake walk.
>max damage that doesnt count as a monster kill, gives you double gold and pacifist chest
actual skill issue
Each bomb wand has their own use.
>Bomb
Clears out a big area. Shittiest of the four
>Dynamite
More uses, but smaller blast radius. Bit tricky to aim, but is basically the jack of all trades
>Magic Missile
Less uses than dynamite, but significantly easier to aim
>Unstable Crystal
Absolute shit for digging, but if you're planning a pacifist run, this will be your best friend. Every kill with it is a trick kill, netting you double gold and keeping blood off your hands.
How are you guys liking the new flesh zone?
Died trying to kill tiny because I didn't want to spoil myself. Now I know the wickee dangers of the meat
goddamn it
Skill Issue.
80-90 runs, only got the skateboard at the start once.
Whats the point of burst of air aside from fanning the flames
damn bro i thought i had the tism when i always put my bomb wand and starting potion in the last slot every single run but i never even thought about min maxing for dynommite.
So why do the hiisi treat me as kill on sight? What have I done to them? Why cant we just get along peacefully?
Fungal shit something common into pheromone. Summer of Love.
In Finnish folklore, Hiisi are goblin like creatures that protect sacred mountains or hills. The brickwork areas between main areas are called "Holy Mountain". Do you even know what is at the bottom?
>Do you even know what is at the bottom?
I would if those hiisi would stop shooting me
I won't spoil it, but let's just say that they have a good reason to try to stop you.
Mod in "edit wands everywhere" and auto-heal 1 hp every 5 seconds. Perfectly balances early game.
Make aquifer more common.
