Good grief, there are few things more maddening than a puzzle where you know what you have to do but you think "But how do I do it within the rules?" the whole time.
The secret is the chest, it forces you to face down.
If you already unlocked the If mode, you use left to select it. The unlock code only works once. Also, to be clear, you hold down on the 0st Ranger title screen, not the title screen title screen.
how am I supposed to know where do they actually go on the grid though? I connected a few (can't find any vertical connections) but still don't know how to map them to the actual mural.
The same way we figure out the spawn conditions for the thief. We don't need to datamine the exact flags, it's enough to talk to a few Anons to figure out that not having the sword is the most likely trigger. Shit's not impossible. For the light orbs all it really requires is an Anon remembering they pleaded guilty or fed the beggar a bunch of times before they encountered one. Now we have a theory we could test.
I had the full kit for my first voided playthrough and I still got my ass pilfered. [spoiler]The game doesn't actually let you run her through either, the only revenge is kicking her down the pit.[/spoiler]
Nah, I did my first run voided because I actually managed to kill myself in B001. I just figured out the mural thing from the get go because the first 8x8 room is embarrassingly obvious and managed to catch all the item bearing ones from there.
anything interesting came out of the anon mapping out where it puts you in the carcass area depending on on which floor you pull out the BX of the floor number in the HUD?
Yeah, I got some bad news. It turns out I was wrong. The position you get stuck in the carcass area is randomized after all, it's just decided when you descend a floor, not when you actually enter the void.
Alright, I just finished dev room + NOWAY puzzle [spoiler]holy shit this was hard I think the only thing left for me now is the stinky hole, can I get some hints on how to access that? And what is the datamined solution anons talk about? What does it do?[/spoiler]
Also, for a lore question who the hell is the dev, judge and Cif NPC girl? Is she from another game? A dev self insert?
>stinky hole Reach Gor swordless Pick up a tile in front of her Accept her request to find the sword Warp to an earlier floor by any means Descend Tan's mural room and get the sword Return to Gor and talk to Bee Proceed to the next floor Follow the stink lines
That's the proper way if you want the interactions, but I'm pretty sure you can forego all those steps and just fall in to said stinky hole
not him but what are stinky stuffs? In my Cif run I found some footstep that led me to the Mon bossfight and to Bee was it that? Is there more to find?
So I solved all the murals, killed the tail and head, went to B000 and got the rod upgrade, am I supposed to engrave something with it? Tried my own brand, the results are interesting but not particularly useful, any tips?
Does the game actually expect you to repeat a ton of stages or am I missing something? This is maddening and there's no fucking way I'll do that again.
Things I've done so far include: Getting the infinity and memory symbols, visiting the abyss through messing with the UI, gotten to one of the picross puzzles through the #3 merchant, got the scifi ending
There are several ways to skip a lot of stages, the #3 merchant shortcuts being one of them
Do you unlock anything from getting high scores in 0stranger? I thought I was decent at shmups but only having 4 colors fucks me up hard. And honestly I'm kinda done with this game for a while after 40 hours in like 5 days.
Reaching 2mil will net you something, yes. Grab orbs to stack the multiplier

I got turbo filtered by Baba, regular filtered by Stephen and I just couldn't get into Recursed.
I absolutely loved Void Stranger, forced myself to power through it even if I did suck and had to ask for help every now and then.
Make of that what you will.
Something which we have no idea how to properly learn of or access via the intended method. We're trying to avoid relying on datamined information here.
> Got the voided and non voided ending > Did a bit of the "hard mode"
Got all items which helps a ton on hard
Still decided to go back because I have some things to clear like: where am I supposed to input picross puzzles ? How am I supposed to solve some destroyed brand ?
>that one floor where the blindingly obvious solution has you personally make a Hispanicy staircase and get cucked by dragon statues (that you also personally pushed into an immovable position) so you can't move the stairs either
Cheeky bastard.
If you only shoot 2 projectiles forward and nothing else you are 1 hit from death. The thing on the right marks how many basic enemies you need to kill to spawn an orb pickup I think.
What level to I insert the Dis brand into? Every single fucking entrypoint I've seen has a piece of shit in the corner that you can't get rid of, yes including the very last one.
I'm getting a bit sick of this game dicking me around and wasting my time, I've already gotten the rod and beaten NG++. I can't access DIS because every enterable floor has some corner bullshit. Irritating.
damn, that's really rude of them to have done, even moreso since the visual tell for it being a triggered tile is the smallest corner of pixels under the statue. Ok thanks, there's no way I would have found that otherwise.
I am once again asking for more fun Sokoban variants similar to this game. Played Baba, played Stephen, played that smaller one about building snowmen, played the "original" sokoban (didn't like it that much).

I think anon should check this game is not void stranger levels of crazy but everything is connected so stuff gets crazy.
I wish these devs had more interesting art styles, I know it's shallow if the main draw is the puzzles but when I see a "Unity indie" artstyle in these games I immediately lose interest.
I've played some of Bunburrows and it's pretty decent, I put a couple hours into the demo alone.
Is the DIS ending an entire different timeline where DIS and the black onion meteorite are both dealt with? Since that was Gray's main plan and the Meteorite disappears as the credits start to roll, but Lily's gonna be trapped in the pre-apocalyptic past with no Gray, and possibly not pregnant with Lillie either if you went in as Lillie herself so she'd already been removed.
No DIS means no fucked up human experiments and demon contracts for thousands of years, and whatever apocalypse humans + black onions cause in the interim between then and Gray/Lillie's time, but Gray/Lillie not getting even their fleeting moments of post-ending happiness and fading away with Add sucks. Killing Cif/not trusting Cif to fend off Lev also sucks.
Managed to get 2M in 0st Ranger but the if mode is kicking my ass. Is there a cheese/cheat/whatever so I can just go to the final area
Also, what are the difference between the two characters?
whenever I come across void stranger threads like this the entire thread is filled with spoilers, I have to wonder the level of LORE going on with this game. it's like those black souls or limbus threads.
how deep is it compared to zeroranger?
Ok, so I got Gray void end
Gray end
Lilie end
Cif end (saved Bee)
I found the 3 items with Gray/Lilie , a empty chest that the game told me "was forced" and finally found a broken seal and another onethat told me to go check the statue in Tail's room I tried doing that last part as Cif but it didn't give me anything and clearly I'm missing some of the end story. What should I do now? the seals with any characters? Any clue as to where to go next?
>onethat told me to go check the statue in Tail's room Well try doing that then. After that try going to Cif's brand room [spoiler]pay attention to the Brane counter and from there it should be clear what you should be doing next[/spoiler]
I did, and I cut Tail's tail but I don't know what it changed nor if I should do it every run from now on ? also which one is Cif brand room? If I must do another run I'd like to know what shortcuts I can take or not.
thank you for the answer.
Cif's brand room is a unique one, I think the mural/brand room are in B200-224. It gives you a lot better guidance on what you're doing. And may as well, though if you're in a run and do it once she'll stay dead until you game over or hit an ending, even doing the statue/staircase reset keeps the state of NPCs.
Ah, I think I see what you mean, is that the full blank one? I found the said room with Gray/Lilith but couldn't do it because I couldn't get rid of all thetiles, will that be good to go from now on with Cif?
Nope, that's another one at b225+ and lets you actually see the mural and read the name on it, it's also important. Though you will want to do anything else as Gray or Lillie instead of Cif.
Help, I'm very foolish... trying to input the brand on b089 (pretty sure you're meant to put in the binary one here) but for some reason I just can't figure it out. Is this the right place to do it?
Can someone give me an image of the there is another room like that somewhere around here brane in DIS? I just looped and rushed before taking the screenshot a second time
Membrane I don't think the actual definition from physics matters a lot here, but they are physical objects that show up in field theories like string theory and supergravity
One of the youtube comments on the brane black void videos says something like >There is also a second sound source that gives you a jumpscare here. Seems like it only happens if you walk away from the source of the noise to silence for too long
Is this actually a new thing or is he referring to the golem?
The uterus crash isn't really a jumpscare either if like me you thought that was a snake instead of a uterus at first, because it does the funny thing after 23 punches.
I think I've found an easy way to find the thing in the black void.
If my theory is right, its sound is given out in a diamond shape. If you walk away until the sound stops, then you know you're at the edge. Then it's just a matter of staying on the edge until you find a screen where three directions stop the sound, then you just walk in the one direction that provides sound until you find it.
>nooo don't use spoiler text to discuss spoilers
it should tell you something that this game is good and interesting enough that even the subhumans that post on Ganker properly use spoiler tags. why not do a little bit of your own research?
Ok but then what's the point? Couldn't Gray just have stopped Johann and prevented Lily from ever getting contracted into void? Or was that part of her masterplan, crashing this planet with no survivors?
>Why is Gray Add? I'm not sure if there's a firm conclusion or if there's still room for interpretation. Gray made a deal with Add, going by the Steam trailer, trading her womb for power.
It's possible that Add only merged with Gray properly right at the end of DIS, as she does with Lillie in the latter's DIS route. The alternative is that when Add disappeared after the infighting, she was already sealed in Gray, who is mentioned in the dancing memory to have forgotten many things about her past (assuming she wasn't just lying to Lily), so she might just have been beneath the surface.
As to why Gray doesn't recognise Cif and Bee and vice versa, she dealt with a demon in full demonic form, Cif was probably born from Gray's womb and thus didn't exist until after the deal was made, and Bee is a retard.
Others can probably correct me if I'm getting anything egregiously wrong or forgetting anything.
Beating Cif without cheesing shows picrel so I think she recognized her.

Joke's on me. I spent an hour on the fight and didn't manage that. Good to know, and now I really do need to clear the fight properly.
Crap, uploaded wrong screenshot by accident. One more try:
Ok, I think I am stuck, or I severely mis-interpreted game's instructions.
Concerning the secret of level B143:
The severed demon head told me 'Where nothingness engraves the brand of Lord, where the path to damnation rests within you, Place your faith and embrace the Void'.
Well, there was one such place with 'Nothingness engraving brand of Lord - level B029 has a tablet with cracked engraving - punching into it reveals empty screen, thus nothingness. There was one similar room (B141), but since B029 was closer, i picked that one for trials.
Where path to damnation lies within you - place your faith and embrace the Void - I though this relates to the act of running out of lives and getting the Void status. In the B029 room I tried three things - activating the black statue (did nothing, sent me back to level B001), dying and cointinuing in VOID mode (also nothing changed), and dying and telling the Bat that I want to give up. Nothing changed as well.
I am not really keen on wasting minutes repeating Area 1 to test new stuff, but since without getting the sword you are forced to reset your locus counter on the stage B143, I assume this thing is mandatory to progress. Can I ask for any tips, or perhaps a correction of my assumptions?
She's just telling you how murals work in general - the brands are the inverse of the tile pattern that you engrave, and you embrace the void by jumping once they're assembled. The whole purpose behind that is to get you to the sword.
Gray is still her own self too given if you go to Dis as Lillie, Add also takes over Lillie and references what Gray thought of the both of them. Lev also says that Add combined her soul into either of them you are. I think the pendant Gray has was Add's and also the source of Add that Gray initially has in her.

Yes. I've done Lillie's DIS route more recently and didn't remember if Lev was as explicit about Add merging in Gray's. I also definitely agree on the pendant - it looks vaguely like the assorted gems on the demon lords, and Add is heavily associated with a pendant: one even shows up on her statue in front of the rod.
I'm hard stuck on ng+ with only the cube , i want to just restart with grey to pick up what i missed but i have the infinity mark enabled
Please tell me there is a way to end this suffering without having to continue until a tree/no walls room
this happened to me too lol put that scary-looking tile with the eyes and teeth in front of a set of stairs and then go down them, and you'll restart outside of the void. then just jump in a pit, die, and refuse the fruit.
Locust-eating statues will eat your infinity brand and teleport you ahead a random number of floors, after which you can die easily enough.
If you can advance a bit you can try removing the Brane counter and finding th egg too
Good suggestions, but i'm on a level with none of those options
On 1.0.2 you can suicide until you become the egg.
If you really don't want to keep going until a stopping point, you can always void out, jump in a pit a million times and make the world's most pathetic effort to get up and be egged.
How do i void out when i have literally infinite locusts though? I must have died 100+ time trying to solve this room and no cutscene played
Not happy about it but i'm about to just look up the solution
If you really don't want to keep going until a stopping point, you can always void out, jump in a pit a million times and make the world's most pathetic effort to get up and be egged.
I think I have assembled it
the Xs mark the known filled spots from the mural (and the bottom right corner, which is a rock in the actual floor)
did I do it right?

Like other anon said, it's not about the murals, it's about engraving the brand on specific floors. B023 is a really easy one.
[spoiler]Good luck on your job hunt kurwa.[/spoiler]
Alright mortal, I won't lambast you for the screenshot, here's some hints. Progressively more direct. You're interpreting it way too liberally. A screen is still something. "The path to damnation" and "embrace the void" are different lines for a reason. You've picked up on the Dante's Inferno-esque structure of the Void by now, right? The "nothingness" engraving the brand of Lord and the "Void" you are meant to embrace are, literally, the same.
No, the final one doesn't ruin the whole thing.
Just play through normally. I reset multiple times, and can now finally see how stupid that was. The game is practically made to be played through without hard resets except NG+ without items, and there are a lot of things that support it. I won't start listing but if I were you, I'd just continue forward, take notes and when you finally come back go down the hole.
Thing is, I already went down to level B220, and saw the glitched out section with vocalized song playing in the background. Now I am trying to find out how to complete the game without going into 'VOID' status, which seems like a logical step. But I guess I made a mistake in resetting my run while doing the second lap.
Well that depends. Did you reset through dying or by the Hispanicy stairs? Still, I won't say you lose out on too much stuff, just some minor details and lore. You can always do a dry run where you get to the bottom and Hispanicy stairs yourself back up, it's basically the same thing.
Gor is hinting at an area of the game that is hidden from you unless you do some very specific actions, which requires being able to make a completely empty room.
nice background, limbab
you're overthinking, that info is just referring to how you're supposed to jump into the pit when you carve a brand in the brand rooms >path to damnation rests with you
i'm like 95% sure this just means "pick up the stairs"
Yeah, that's the one, thanks anon. Eus is the snake, Mon is the centipede, Cif is the baby are pretty obvious, what about the rest? I'm guessing Bee is the fly, Gor is the slug and Lev is the thing on the left since it's the only one without a "mouth".
I'm currently trying to figure that one out too, anon. I just spent the last 2 hours figuring out what exactly is the shape I'm looking for, now I'm staring at it trying to figure out how to actually get it to that shape.
good luck
Ok, without spoiler, if someone could just give me a hint (NG++ spoiler) :
I'm on a Cif run, cut Tail's tail, Gor head is gone and I defeated Mon. Then I went to B223 to Cif's room where it told me to "kill what remains of the traitors" (I assumed I did), go to 000 (I took the Hispanicy stairs to reboot without quitting the run) and find Add's treasure. I went there but I find nothing. Am I missing a traitor or is there something I didnt understand in 000 ?
were you voided? beating the game without eating the fruit will give you a considerably different outcome
also start solving those murals if you haven't already, and anything else weird you came across
Damn it, so I just have to redo everything because I got voided halfway through? I guess that means I can get the second to last memory though - I accidentally skipped eleven floors when I fell in front of a statue
dammit, so my plan doesn't work
that means that for this room
please please please tell me this isn't an item room dear lord please i'm not mentally strong enough
I'm gonna have to find a way to move those stairs somewhere else, replace them with a glass or solid tile, and then pick them back up, that's fucking annoying
Is there any benefit to being unvoided when fighting Bee? Took me surprisingly few tries and I've got a backup save so I could try and get through it alive.
B096+ I just gave up and used the wings here but how would you do this without them and without kicking him down? I wonder if I'll get some more dialogue if I bump into him now
Ah right, I don't think I ever used that trick.
I don't actually remember if I had opened it or if it was already like this, but if I did, that would work.
god dammit I'm still fucking stuck on B053 how do I get the stairs out of the way and put something else in their place? Do I have to 1x3 there with the 3 solid tiles?
I have a feeling I overthought B38+ a bit, after killing the last snake I had to basically drag the entire level in a complete circle to reach the stairs.
>no Johan, I promised to save you from death only if you showed a lot of devotion, overthrowing an entire kingdom of corrupt monarchs, raping a princess and then killing everyone in the kingdom just for us is not enough devotion, you missed one person(that you were devoted to killing) so we expect you to die. >Gray, you spent over a thousand in DIS years which is al lot of devotion, you get ONE wish. Saving Lily? SIKE, she is actually pregnant and you only get ONE wish haha. >Lilie? What the fuck are you doing here? I sense 0 devotion but I'm giving you a wish anyway. Talking with your dead mother? Nah lol, I'm bringing her back for free because you are cute, enjoy it.
What was her fucking problem?
She is more evil than all the Void Lords put together.
tbh senpai I don't know why the game wants us to sympathize with any of these anime whores, with the exception of Tail and Gor they are all ultra mega cunts.
>falling off from bee's lewd puzzle closes the game
Well fuck you too. Aside from OstRanger and If this minigame is the only thing I have left to complete. Unless Cif's Challenge is real
71 hours clocked, probably 10 hours spent shitposting on Ganker with the game open. It's up there with Outer Wilds and Rain World as game of the millennium.
maybe there's something in Cif's run we haven't noticed yet. I feel like it would make sense to find it there.
i also think it would make sense Cif's challenge would be unlocked by Cif but i think we looked at everything possible. or at least all the obvious things. it doesn't help that Cif is just the normal layout with only one unique npc and everything else is gone [spoiler]besides tail and gor[/spoiler] thinking off, can you get JUDGEd as Cif?
It has nipple-free family-friendly snek-tits and artistic nudity you'd sometimes see in early 90s games and one breastfeeding scene.
Also, just cleared 039+, jesus christ I'm not even a fifth of the way through hard mode and my blood pressure is already going nuts. I don't know if solving these makes me a genius or if the puzzle designer is a genius.
finished/got: Gray void, normal, carcass, DIS
Lillie normal, DIS
Cif normal, carcass
Devroom and NOWAY
0st Ranger normal and IF
Soundtrack brand
am I missing something?
I think it's mostly everything but did you do this optional stuff : -Gray DIS, beating Cif fair and square -Gray DIS, beating Lev during the white background part -Lillie, kill the traitors, don't take the rod. Then go to B000 with Cif -Cif, rest at her only tree
Peek only if you want or when you're finished to compare
First one give you
Beating Cif without cheesing shows picrel so I think she recognized her.
Second one give you a bunch of things to talk to in a big fleshy place before credits
Third one give you a non-ending Cif vs Lev that was posted in previous threads
Fourth one give you
ah I don't think i did the second then but I'm not sure if I want to redo such a run
I love the game but I'm starting to overdose
I'll take note of it, just in case
I absolutely would have liked this game regardless but this past couple weeks of early word of mouth discovery and having to figure most everything out without guides being available is what made me fall in love with it.
>itt bros reading every spoiler and speedrunning the first playthrough to reach endgame areas without even trying to experiment or discover things themselves
sometimes it helps to just take a break and clear your mind of whatever shitty approach you are trying to make work whatever the cost.
I really tend to get stuck trying the same shit over and over expecting different outcomes until step away for a minute.
B100+
I don't know how much time I spent trying to figure out how to move the buttons and stairs into a working configuration before just accepting that it is impossible and doing the easy thing, fuck
Shadow conga lines puzzles are some of my favorite in the game tbh, I always feel like a God when I manage to create a clean loop
Bout to become an egg Do I have to kill all of them with the specified method and in order? Seems impossible with the god damn dragon statues and half of them kill themselves before I can do shit
The rock's dialogue is there for a reason There's only one enemy that will fuck himself up on his own and from there you should be able to infer the only right moves available at the start Keep in mind the dragon statues are also on the explosive tiles
>There's only one enemy that will fuck himself up on his own 4 of them, one leech about to step on lightning tile, one crosses the glass and traps itself on an explosive tile to go down together with the eye and third one collides with the maggot eventually I think I got the order, though, thanks.
Bout to become an egg Do I have to kill all of them with the specified method and in order? Seems impossible with the god damn dragon statues and half of them kill themselves before I can do shit
Talk to the rock to know what has to be killed by what. So long as they die the appropriate way, the order doesn't matter, so it's all about killing things before they die by another mean
most of them are simple enough if you ever read any of the stones during the game. the rest are process of elimination. if you get it wrong and take the stairs it just resets the floor. only picking up the stairs and jumping down will be your emergency Hispanicy stairway replacement.
I need some tip for NG++ I killed Mon with Cif, but I don't know what to do now.
when there's a choice between a hole and stairs afterwards, don't take the stairs.
I just attacked one of CIFs fetus thingies and apparently it ended the fight instantly.
Did i miss something besides the dialogue?
But then, if i'd known i would have read the rest of the dialogue instead of ending the fight
Man now i'm kinda salty, i hoped attacking the larva would just weaken the attacks. I'd hope for it to be online somewhere, but it feels like this is the only place playing this game.
Guess i'll have to track through DIS again at some point
Good grief, there are few things more maddening than a puzzle where you know what you have to do but you think "But how do I do it within the rules?" the whole time.
The secret is the chest, it forces you to face down.
I did it without the chest.
You just temporarily move the statue up 1.
Bro, just don't step on the top row until you're stepping on the stairs
It is literally that easy
bro horns
asking just in case but does the 0thranger minigame have anything hidden in it? I'm having fun with it but I wish it had more levels.
Hold down for 6 seconds on the title screen.
I see, thank you
holding down does nothing for, anyone knows why? or did I misunderstand the message
If you already unlocked the If mode, you use left to select it. The unlock code only works once.
Also, to be clear, you hold down on the 0st Ranger title screen, not the title screen title screen.
Is this statue supposed to break after 23 strikes or does that only work in the snake room? Not sure if I'm counting my strikes wrong
Push it in line with the rest, retard.
I FUCKING DID IT.
IT TOOK ME AN AFTERNOON BUT IT'S FINALLY OVER.
FUCK THIS RIDDLE
Agreed.
How exactly do I piece together the tail screenshots?
Someone please help
do any of them even connect vertically? How do you deal with the UI getting in the way?
Keep the HUD. Make sure scales/shadow matches, not just the shape.
how am I supposed to know where do they actually go on the grid though? I connected a few (can't find any vertical connections) but still don't know how to map them to the actual mural.
I got the new rod after killing Gor and Eus. What am I supposed do now?
It enables you to enter a brand that you couldn't before, on the appropriate floor.
There's a brand you can enter now which you couldn't before. You may have passed over it thinking it wasn't a brand, but I assure you that is a brand.
>
The same way we figure out the spawn conditions for the thief. We don't need to datamine the exact flags, it's enough to talk to a few Anons to figure out that not having the sword is the most likely trigger. Shit's not impossible. For the light orbs all it really requires is an Anon remembering they pleaded guilty or fed the beggar a bunch of times before they encountered one. Now we have a theory we could test.
I had the full kit for my first voided playthrough and I still got my ass pilfered. [spoiler]The game doesn't actually let you run her through either, the only revenge is kicking her down the pit.[/spoiler]
>full kit for my first voided playthrough
Did you seriously play through the game unvoided first and got all the items?
Nah, I did my first run voided because I actually managed to kill myself in B001. I just figured out the mural thing from the get go because the first 8x8 room is embarrassingly obvious and managed to catch all the item bearing ones from there.
Then you didn't have the sword for the thief, as it is located after her. Also, brands are 6x6.
anything interesting came out of the anon mapping out where it puts you in the carcass area depending on on which floor you pull out the BX of the floor number in the HUD?
Yeah, I got some bad news. It turns out I was wrong. The position you get stuck in the carcass area is randomized after all, it's just decided when you descend a floor, not when you actually enter the void.
Alright, I just finished dev room + NOWAY puzzle [spoiler]holy shit this was hard I think the only thing left for me now is the stinky hole, can I get some hints on how to access that? And what is the datamined solution anons talk about? What does it do?[/spoiler]
Also, for a lore question who the hell is the dev, judge and Cif NPC girl? Is she from another game? A dev self insert?
Judge is from Zero Ranger. Dev is just a self-insert, I wouldn't read too much into it.

she's the reason lillie exists and by extension pretty much most of the way the game is

Return to Gor and talk to Bee
Proceed to the next floor
Follow the stink lines
That's the proper way if you want the interactions, but I'm pretty sure you can forego all those steps and just fall in to said stinky hole
Interesting. Stinky hole "worked" for me when Gor was dead on Cif route, there were no stink marks but I hopped in and got to the face boss.
not him but what are stinky stuffs? In my Cif run I found some footstep that led me to the Mon bossfight and to Bee was it that? Is there more to find?
So I solved all the murals, killed the tail and head, went to B000 and got the rod upgrade, am I supposed to engrave something with it? Tried my own brand, the results are interesting but not particularly useful, any tips?
Did you forget about the very last mural or overlook it?
I didn't think it was a brand I could carve, damn...
Wait a second, how do I erase the last tile?
The last tile needs to be a destructible one.
Those all have shit in the corners
Wrong floor, retard. You need to go deeper.
make sure you stand on a glass one while removing the last tile, then just jump
there's not much going on in there without it showing stink lines. i still have to do it the proper way.
Do you not see the literal X marks the spot hole?
thanks. i was dumb.
Does the game actually expect you to repeat a ton of stages or am I missing something? This is maddening and there's no fucking way I'll do that again.
Things I've done so far include:
Getting the infinity and memory symbols, visiting the abyss through messing with the UI, gotten to one of the picross puzzles through the #3 merchant, got the scifi ending
there are some other items which help greatly along with shortcuts
You got one item, try to do the same with the other murals and you'll get items that greatly speed up your progression and backtracking.
I've figured as much, but I've yet to reach one of those rooms again that seem to allow inputting those. B023 seemed to only accept one.
I got sword and everything is glacially slow again. The game is losing me.
There are several ways to skip a lot of stages, the #3 merchant shortcuts being one of them
Reaching 2mil will net you something, yes. Grab orbs to stack the multiplier
not him but I haven't managed to clear IF, let alone getting 2 millions. is it worth tryharding?
If you want to "complete" the game then yes.
Reaching the final phase of IF will give you one last brand
No, it's hearing every piece of music that gives you the last brand. The last phase of If just happens to have a unique piece of music.
I'm aware, but in most cases this will be the last one. I actually need to redo Grey's trees and voided ending to get all songs.
You don't need to reach the final stage in IF, just go into training mode with difficulty 1 and the last checkpoint
You need to reach it legit for it to show up on training mode
I didn't beat If mode but can get this in practice mode
I haven't beat IF either and I got this
Do you unlock anything from getting high scores in 0stranger? I thought I was decent at shmups but only having 4 colors fucks me up hard. And honestly I'm kinda done with this game for a while after 40 hours in like 5 days.
Is the game for me if I like Stephen's Sausage Roll and Recursed but hate Baba is you?
I got turbo filtered by Baba, regular filtered by Stephen and I just couldn't get into Recursed.
I absolutely loved Void Stranger, forced myself to power through it even if I did suck and had to ask for help every now and then.
Make of that what you will.
Is there anything else to do in the beyond or whatever the fuck than get spooked by the ghost and completely resetting your progress?
What the hell is Cif's Challenge?
Something which we have no idea how to properly learn of or access via the intended method. We're trying to avoid relying on datamined information here.
> Got the voided and non voided ending
> Did a bit of the "hard mode"
Got all items which helps a ton on hard
Still decided to go back because I have some things to clear like:
where am I supposed to input picross puzzles ?
How am I supposed to solve some destroyed brand ?
I have no idea about the picross puzzles.
How did you make some of them red ? The game won't even let me input anything, so I had to write them down and solve them on paper for now [spoiler]
He took and screenshot and used the paint bucket tool.
I took screengrabs and edited them in mspaint.
Is the puzzle supposed to represent a level, and the highlighted part is where a hidden gem is?
Ye
ding ding ding
updated map with some fixes and additions
You're missing a lot of "may access UI" all over the earlier floors. 39, 48, 93, 97, 107, 109, 117, 138...
You're missing smelly hole
Also is Mon's funhouse the one where you get zapped by the heads? Fuck that place.
WE ARE GETTING CRAZY!!!!!
I'm not seeing any difference in the EUS brand on your chart..
the previous iteration had the wrong EUS brand on it.
I forgot about the staaaaaiiirs
*laughing Cif in the distance*
IT
KEEPS
HAPPENING
>that one floor where the blindingly obvious solution has you personally make a Hispanicy staircase and get cucked by dragon statues (that you also personally pushed into an immovable position) so you can't move the stairs either
Cheeky bastard.
literally that room and I even have it on video since I had a replay buffer running
You can cancel them by holding the escape key.
Should've paid closer attention, mortal.
How do I quit a Cif run, without fighting Mon?
Carcass.
One of the things left for me are picross gems, anyone got a full list of them? I've only screenshotted 6.
HAHA LILLY I TURNED MYSELF INTO AN EGG LILLY I'M A EGGRAY LILLY
you done fucked up lad
>egGray
god dammit
Found a typo.
updated and less gay version
Still looks pretty gray to me
I know there is a secret on B066. On the starting tile.
Anyone knows what causes the bug thing on the wall to appear? I know I've seen and interacted with it before.
>Anyone knows what causes the bug thing on the wall to appear?
your fun value
took me 30 minutes
fuck bee in all the meanings of the word
How do you get to this again?
Relocate the Hispanicy staircase at the end of the dev room
what determines how many hits you can take in 0th ranger?
Your shot power level
is this the thing on the lower right corner?
I find this mode confusing and the coloring doesn't help
If you only shoot 2 projectiles forward and nothing else you are 1 hit from death. The thing on the right marks how many basic enemies you need to kill to spawn an orb pickup I think.
ah I see
and the orbs are what upgrade your shot?
Score multiplier for a few seconds + shot upgrade. You can also destroy them to turn all bullets into medal pickups.
Your shot power level.
Am I not supposed to put my own brand here? There's nothing around
what was the last mural like?
Take the plunge with your own brand, but it's not the only option.
What does that do anyway? I tried it in a few other rooms but not that one yet
What level to I insert the Dis brand into? Every single fucking entrypoint I've seen has a piece of shit in the corner that you can't get rid of, yes including the very last one.
I'm getting a bit sick of this game dicking me around and wasting my time, I've already gotten the rod and beaten NG++. I can't access DIS because every enterable floor has some corner bullshit. Irritating.
>yes including the very last one
Check it better, the corner statue is actually on a triggered tile
damn, that's really rude of them to have done, even moreso since the visual tell for it being a triggered tile is the smallest corner of pixels under the statue. Ok thanks, there's no way I would have found that otherwise.
You are going to have really bad time in the place you are going if something this basic throws you off.
The one floor that comes after the DIS mural, B227
Still no stinky hole, ergo, still gray.
>yes including the very last one.
Maybe that's not the last one then?
What the actual fuck do I do here? I've been stuck for an hour
I've seen like 3 different ways to solve it.
Personally I did it by dropping the statue into void.
You make a safe platform around the switch and then lead the enemy around the switch making sure the monster does not fall down.
>only the cube
Oh jesus oh christ
>just got the wings
>after 30 hours of banging my head on shit i didn't need to be banging my head on
i was never book smart
Bros I can't beat the3rd phase of Cif
I managed to get 9 hits in, but after that it just gets too hectic to dodge everything while picking up tiles
3rd phase is just a survival section. Just endure.
well fug,that'll make things easier
How do I unlock the last brand?
I am once again asking for more fun Sokoban variants similar to this game. Played Baba, played Stephen, played that smaller one about building snowmen, played the "original" sokoban (didn't like it that much).
Try out the Adventures of Lolo series on NES, including the japanese ones since text isn't really much of a concern.
It's alright I guess, thanks. Sucks that it's realtime though.
Such as..?
no_____________________________________________________________
There's A Monster's Expedition from same guy that made snowmen

I think anon should check this game is not void stranger levels of crazy but everything is connected so stuff gets crazy.
I wish these devs had more interesting art styles, I know it's shallow if the main draw is the puzzles but when I see a "Unity indie" artstyle in these games I immediately lose interest.
I've played some of Bunburrows and it's pretty decent, I put a couple hours into the demo alone.
>"Unity indie" artstyle
like what? all of those have unique art-styles. I think only Puddle Knights looks simple but is not bad
So for plot spoiler talk:
Is the DIS ending an entire different timeline where DIS and the black onion meteorite are both dealt with? Since that was Gray's main plan and the Meteorite disappears as the credits start to roll, but Lily's gonna be trapped in the pre-apocalyptic past with no Gray, and possibly not pregnant with Lillie either if you went in as Lillie herself so she'd already been removed.
No DIS means no fucked up human experiments and demon contracts for thousands of years, and whatever apocalypse humans + black onions cause in the interim between then and Gray/Lillie's time, but Gray/Lillie not getting even their fleeting moments of post-ending happiness and fading away with Add sucks. Killing Cif/not trusting Cif to fend off Lev also sucks.
I'M GONNA DO IT
I'M GONNA MAKE THIS NEXT PART LOOK EASY
I'M GONNA MAKE IT LOOK LIKE FREE EATS
>already down to 98
ngmi
THIS is the hard bullshit you were bellyaching over? Hahahaha, your childish game is NOTHING to me
>pictures taken moments before disaster
I admire your moxie, but you ain't seen nothing yet.
>you had to kill them in the autsitically specific order without them explicitly informing you
....e...easy.....
>without them explicitly informing you
The rock tells you the order
Bro your void cube?
did you try talking to the egg you tard?
what happened with gray by the beginning of the lillie route? if it's revealed in the dreams just tell me that please
it is
kinda
I don't think it's outright explained from what I can remember, but she is gone
Up to the exact moment of Lillie route beginning, it's not told to you anywhere.
WTB actual level solution, I'm stuck on B020+
bro if you're stuck already around B020 you might wanna consider easier games.
Post your solution then.
money first.
B020+, anon. Hard mode.
Make a square instead of a zig-zag
God dammit I'm a fucking retard.
i have only ever seen that trilobite fuck when i have no cube
does he say anything interesting?
Something about how Add tore off her flesh and it became sentient. I didn't screenshot the entire thing because I'm retarded
Managed to get 2M in 0st Ranger but the if mode is kicking my ass. Is there a cheese/cheat/whatever so I can just go to the final area
Also, what are the difference between the two characters?
Was any progress made on the orb riddle?
Red herring.
whenever I come across void stranger threads like this the entire thread is filled with spoilers, I have to wonder the level of LORE going on with this game. it's like those black souls or limbus threads.
how deep is it compared to zeroranger?
Holy shit this is agonizing. Where am I supposed to even start from?
God damn, I should just keep posting complaints on Ganker because I always immediately just figure it out on my own anyway.
Ok, so I got
Gray void end
Gray end
Lilie end
Cif end (saved Bee)
I found the 3 items with Gray/Lilie , a empty chest that the game told me "was forced" and finally found a broken seal and another onethat told me to go check the statue in Tail's room I tried doing that last part as Cif but it didn't give me anything and clearly I'm missing some of the end story. What should I do now? the seals with any characters? Any clue as to where to go next?
>onethat told me to go check the statue in Tail's room
Well try doing that then. After that try going to Cif's brand room [spoiler]pay attention to the Brane counter and from there it should be clear what you should be doing next[/spoiler]
I did, and I cut Tail's tail but I don't know what it changed nor if I should do it every run from now on ? also which one is Cif brand room? If I must do another run I'd like to know what shortcuts I can take or not.
thank you for the answer.
Cif's brand room is a unique one, I think the mural/brand room are in B200-224. It gives you a lot better guidance on what you're doing. And may as well, though if you're in a run and do it once she'll stay dead until you game over or hit an ending, even doing the statue/staircase reset keeps the state of NPCs.
Ah, I think I see what you mean, is that the full blank one? I found the said room with Gray/Lilith but couldn't do it because I couldn't get rid of all thetiles, will that be good to go from now on with Cif?
Nope, that's another one at b225+ and lets you actually see the mural and read the name on it, it's also important. Though you will want to do anything else as Gray or Lillie instead of Cif.
No, blank is Dis. Cif's is...well, I hope you're paying attention to the floor numbers when descending because fuck you lmao.
i just had a thought, what if instead of talking to the bitch that steals your rod, you just push her down the hole? do you just not get it back?
Help, I'm very foolish... trying to input the brand on b089 (pretty sure you're meant to put in the binary one here) but for some reason I just can't figure it out. Is this the right place to do it?
the floor B089 has the brand you find on B085 according to my notes, not sure if that's the one you meant.
is this level telling me: you have to use wings, or get the fuck back to the beginning
dunk the 2 lightning statues and then you can move the switches [spoiler]and stairs wherever you want[/spoiler]
thanks
thanks, that's exactly what I want to know
Kill the statues and move the stair
You have your wings off, but no, nothing in ng+ requires using items ever.
Every level aside from Dis levels can be done itemless.
Can someone post the sound brand please?
Anyone help me out here
This screenshot. Does it match anything or is it a lonely one? I tried matching it with every other piece I have, but it doesn't fit.
or wait, do I have to match them diagonally too? As in, assume an implicit connection I can't see?
u got it
that's fucking stupid, I hate it
and I still don't know how I'm supposed to map it to the mural once I'm done
it does indeed suck which is why i'll give you this one
the tail part, once you've mapped it, becomes the empty spaces
I've connected 4 pieces, I'm mostly worried about the bottom one because of the fucking HUD
is this correct or not?
honestly i don't remember what the map looks like, only the finished mural
i think that part's good though
Can someone give me an image of the there is another room like that somewhere around here brane in DIS? I just looped and rushed before taking the screenshot a second time
Thanks a ton
>accidentally went down a floor instead of doing what i came here to do
>have to restart and trek all the fucking way back down to floor 137
AHHHHHHHH
Learn the skips anon, especially the status menu skip
bro, the very next room had access to the HUD.
just put the floor number in your locust count and have a nice day once. Assuming not VOIDed.
NG++ spoilers
Get fucked, Mon
Bossfight is actually surprisingly easy once you figure out where to hit her
What do i do now for NG+++? I'm lost
Start as Gray, find Cif's brand, follow instructions
Fug, already started as Cif
Time to visit the carcass
Doesn't that reset all your progression, even found brands?
You can use brands even when not "unlocked" as long as you know them, but black egg doesn't reset them
No, the carcass gives a normal ending. You're thinking of the head in the white void.
Wait, then how do access the carcass?
White void = past level 255
Black void = Yank front of brane number from UI
Carcass is in the black void. Follow the sound.
I'm there. I hit it 3, 6 and 23 times, nothing happened
You need to wait after hitting it "i forgot" times.
It was 6 times, i think interacting with it reset the counter
Now then, what's this about a Cif brand?
Where do i even input this puzzle?
It's six times and wait six seconds. If you hit the wrong number of times then you might need to go down a screen and back up or reset, idk.
Yeah I feel like 4 hits to kill is a bit too much, but 3 would've been way too trivial.
Why is it called brane?
Brane?
Membrane
I don't think the actual definition from physics matters a lot here, but they are physical objects that show up in field theories like string theory and supergravity
>its just misfortune.gb but worse
>think I first tried the level
>I didn't
🙁
Who the fuck is watching me, this is the first time I see this
He's got something interesting to say if you can get to him.
It's ironic that a map with a miniscule amount of options can make you think the most. Or I'm just retarded.
do you get anything for beating the game as grey, without using the infinity locusts brand? is that something i should bother with trying?
https://strawpoll.com/3RnYlmPqAye
Favorite color scheme?
Is there any difference between a perfect and a failed dance sequence? I got them all correct but don't know if it changed anything.
One of the youtube comments on the brane black void videos says something like
>There is also a second sound source that gives you a jumpscare here. Seems like it only happens if you walk away from the source of the noise to silence for too long
Is this actually a new thing or is he referring to the golem?
He's referring to the thing that chases you after you spend too much time there which crashes the game.
Oh, the golem. I had hoped it would have been an actual jumpscare like Bee's portrait or the uterus crash
>What's with the third one?
Don't worry buddy, it's really easy. It's an inside joke, I swear. Ha ha.
The uterus crash isn't really a jumpscare either if like me you thought that was a snake instead of a uterus at first, because it does the funny thing after 23 punches.
>Get to the first tree on NG+
Wow... that's awesome.
What's with the third one? D D D D L D L doesn't work?
there's switches under all three bulls
theres a spoopy heavy fast footstep sounds when the chungus is about appear so i pretty sure its referring to that
Change the second one with the pause level
I'm on the fourth one getting filtered hard, what do
Seriously need tips, the statues fuck me up
Removing the locust counter was a huge mistake...
up, up, down, wand, right, down
First few moves gogogo
Damn, my method for grabbing the ui tile was highly inefficient, thanks
glass tile should be the last one you need to place
Struggling with this one, any tips?
you only need 2 solid tiles to clear that floor
You don't need the wand at all, just push the statues
Oh damn, I even made a small mistake and still got it. Thanks.
Push the topmost statue first.
The third one is pretty easy if you have wings, the one room with two of them and buttons in the middle is harder.
I found a big head on B299. Is there anything I can do?
What i am supposed to do in floor b255 as gray? Do i just remove the floor tile and go into the darkness or what, im stuck
Fall down.
>Do i just remove the floor tile and go into the darkness
Yes.
I think I've found an easy way to find the thing in the black void.
If my theory is right, its sound is given out in a diamond shape. If you walk away until the sound stops, then you know you're at the edge. Then it's just a matter of staying on the edge until you find a screen where three directions stop the sound, then you just walk in the one direction that provides sound until you find it.
Yes, knock the floor out and hop in
Okay, I need help with dis floor.
you can't push the one directly to your left off the edge, you need it
go from there
Oh, that does the trick, thanks.
Try to not push the statue in the starting platform, but move it to a button
Hit it until something happens
You need to go around the statue in front of you by magic carpeting.
relocate a button to the rightmost statue, the actual challenge in this room is trying to go around the statue
god damn gays
stop with all of the black text and just tell us what the fucking game is about, or don't post at all.
>nooo don't use spoiler text to discuss spoilers
it should tell you something that this game is good and interesting enough that even the subhumans that post on Ganker properly use spoiler tags. why not do a little bit of your own research?
youre welcome to fuck off
It's a puzzle game about pushing blocks
What was the deal with Gray's date? Am I supposed to know Daniel from somewhere?
he is the single male left on earth after the yuripocalipse
Based
Lorelet here, someone explain
to me, this is Add Gray, yes? Why is Gray Add? Why would Bee & co attack Gray if Gray is Add? And who is the masked admin / zero judge?
Yes
To hide her plans from Lev
No one knew who she was
From ZeroRanger
Ok but then what's the point? Couldn't Gray just have stopped Johann and prevented Lily from ever getting contracted into void? Or was that part of her masterplan, crashing this planet with no survivors?
>Why is Gray Add?
I'm not sure if there's a firm conclusion or if there's still room for interpretation. Gray made a deal with Add, going by the Steam trailer, trading her womb for power.
It's possible that Add only merged with Gray properly right at the end of DIS, as she does with Lillie in the latter's DIS route. The alternative is that when Add disappeared after the infighting, she was already sealed in Gray, who is mentioned in the dancing memory to have forgotten many things about her past (assuming she wasn't just lying to Lily), so she might just have been beneath the surface.
As to why Gray doesn't recognise Cif and Bee and vice versa, she dealt with a demon in full demonic form, Cif was probably born from Gray's womb and thus didn't exist until after the deal was made, and Bee is a retard.
Others can probably correct me if I'm getting anything egregiously wrong or forgetting anything.
Beating Cif without cheesing shows picrel so I think she recognized her.
Joke's on me. I spent an hour on the fight and didn't manage that. Good to know, and now I really do need to clear the fight properly.
She's just telling you how murals work in general - the brands are the inverse of the tile pattern that you engrave, and you embrace the void by jumping once they're assembled. The whole purpose behind that is to get you to the sword.
Gray is still her own self too given if you go to Dis as Lillie, Add also takes over Lillie and references what Gray thought of the both of them. Lev also says that Add combined her soul into either of them you are. I think the pendant Gray has was Add's and also the source of Add that Gray initially has in her.
Yes. I've done Lillie's DIS route more recently and didn't remember if Lev was as explicit about Add merging in Gray's. I also definitely agree on the pendant - it looks vaguely like the assorted gems on the demon lords, and Add is heavily associated with a pendant: one even shows up on her statue in front of the rod.
>Gray made a deal with Add, going by the Steam trailer
That was Cif, not Add.
It's definitely Cif in the trailer, as you say, which puts a significant dent in my theory of her only coming to exist because of the trade..
Maybe Cif gave Add's pendant to Gray?
I'm hard stuck on ng+ with only the cube , i want to just restart with grey to pick up what i missed but i have the infinity mark enabled
Please tell me there is a way to end this suffering without having to continue until a tree/no walls room
this happened to me too lol
put that scary-looking tile with the eyes and teeth in front of a set of stairs and then go down them, and you'll restart outside of the void. then just jump in a pit, die, and refuse the fruit.
Good suggestions, but i'm on a level with none of those options
How do i void out when i have literally infinite locusts though? I must have died 100+ time trying to solve this room and no cutscene played
Not happy about it but i'm about to just look up the solution
Locust-eating statues will eat your infinity brand and teleport you ahead a random number of floors, after which you can die easily enough.
On 1.0.2 you can suicide until you become the egg.
If you really don't want to keep going until a stopping point, you can always void out, jump in a pit a million times and make the world's most pathetic effort to get up and be egged.
If you can advance a bit you can try removing the Brane counter and finding th egg too
>that last CIF attack
WXHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
DO I HAVE TO KEEP THE RHYTHM IN THE DARK
bro? your drakengard 3 clear?

BROS???
Funny justice value goes brrrrrr
You mean Mon or someone else?
idk they didn't say their name, they just traded me a shortcut for 3 locusts and laughed like kshishishi
That's Mon, she's always there when you have 3 locusts
ohhh, that makes sense.
That's the happy merchant and eternal cuck, speedy warps and 0 locusts will come to you but only if you reply "fuck off mon" to this post
?t=119
>just noticed the two frames with Lev looking at you
These threads are fucking awful.
(You)
The amount of low effort bait thrown in these threads increases daily.
Haven't touched this in a few days, thought I did everything. Can you please tell me about the stinklines?
I think I have assembled it
the Xs mark the known filled spots from the mural (and the bottom right corner, which is a rock in the actual floor)
did I do it right?
So close yet so far.
Consider the confirmed empty squares.
What about them? I'm checking the mural and nothing seems to contradict them I think?
Bottom row has an empty spot. Your solution does not.
uhhh now?
Only one way to find out.
Try it out.
Yep
every tail part has to be connected either directly or over a corner.
Am i really about to waste all of my locusts for crystals? Of course I am!
That one is easy, just push the statues onto the buttons 🙂
I just had a mondo brain blast about this
i now realize I never did the NOWAY puzzle, does that require beating hard mode 0stranger?
No, it's just tucked into the dev room.
from the dev sigil warp, or...?
Crap, uploaded wrong screenshot by accident. One more try:
Ok, I think I am stuck, or I severely mis-interpreted game's instructions.
Concerning the secret of level B143:
The severed demon head told me 'Where nothingness engraves the brand of Lord, where the path to damnation rests within you, Place your faith and embrace the Void'.
Well, there was one such place with 'Nothingness engraving brand of Lord - level B029 has a tablet with cracked engraving - punching into it reveals empty screen, thus nothingness. There was one similar room (B141), but since B029 was closer, i picked that one for trials.
Where path to damnation lies within you - place your faith and embrace the Void - I though this relates to the act of running out of lives and getting the Void status. In the B029 room I tried three things - activating the black statue (did nothing, sent me back to level B001), dying and cointinuing in VOID mode (also nothing changed), and dying and telling the Bat that I want to give up. Nothing changed as well.
I am not really keen on wasting minutes repeating Area 1 to test new stuff, but since without getting the sword you are forced to reset your locus counter on the stage B143, I assume this thing is mandatory to progress. Can I ask for any tips, or perhaps a correction of my assumptions?
Like other anon said, it's not about the murals, it's about engraving the brand on specific floors. B023 is a really easy one.
[spoiler]Good luck on your job hunt kurwa.[/spoiler]
Thanks man, I always forget how small this place is. Leaving the thread to not get myself spoiled, gotta work this hint out.
Alright mortal, I won't lambast you for the screenshot, here's some hints. Progressively more direct.
You're interpreting it way too liberally.
A screen is still something.
"The path to damnation" and "embrace the void" are different lines for a reason.
You've picked up on the Dante's Inferno-esque structure of the Void by now, right?
The "nothingness" engraving the brand of Lord and the "Void" you are meant to embrace are, literally, the same.
No, the final one doesn't ruin the whole thing.
Just play through normally. I reset multiple times, and can now finally see how stupid that was. The game is practically made to be played through without hard resets except NG+ without items, and there are a lot of things that support it. I won't start listing but if I were you, I'd just continue forward, take notes and when you finally come back go down the hole.
Thing is, I already went down to level B220, and saw the glitched out section with vocalized song playing in the background. Now I am trying to find out how to complete the game without going into 'VOID' status, which seems like a logical step. But I guess I made a mistake in resetting my run while doing the second lap.
Well that depends. Did you reset through dying or by the Hispanicy stairs? Still, I won't say you lose out on too much stuff, just some minor details and lore. You can always do a dry run where you get to the bottom and Hispanicy stairs yourself back up, it's basically the same thing.
Gor is hinting at an area of the game that is hidden from you unless you do some very specific actions, which requires being able to make a completely empty room.
nice background, limbab
you're overthinking, that info is just referring to how you're supposed to jump into the pit when you carve a brand in the brand rooms
>path to damnation rests with you
i'm like 95% sure this just means "pick up the stairs"
and fuck, I didn't notice it
These fucking hardmode rooms are my own personal 9/11.
Does anyone have the illustration of Add with the larva/baby void lords? I didn't get a screenshot of that one.
This one?
Yeah, that's the one, thanks anon.
Eus is the snake, Mon is the centipede, Cif is the baby are pretty obvious, what about the rest? I'm guessing Bee is the fly, Gor is the slug and Lev is the thing on the left since it's the only one without a "mouth".
given Tan's adult form I suspect the maggot is her.
No, it's the last tree in Cif's run, the only one that's not withered[/spoiler]
Shitty memory here, this is from the DIS ending right?
I think it's from Cif's only tree cutscene
please please please tell me this isn't an item room dear lord please i'm not mentally strong enough
It is and it's extremely worth it
🙁
It's an extremely versatile room.
You can use that room to skip to end the game.
you don't need items to beat the game 🙂
you do when you're as dumb as i am
it's so fucking over brainletsisters...
I'm currently trying to figure that one out too, anon. I just spent the last 2 hours figuring out what exactly is the shape I'm looking for, now I'm staring at it trying to figure out how to actually get it to that shape.
good luck
-Infinity
OH FUUUuuuuu-
Ok, without spoiler, if someone could just give me a hint (NG++ spoiler) :
I'm on a Cif run, cut Tail's tail, Gor head is gone and I defeated Mon. Then I went to B223 to Cif's room where it told me to "kill what remains of the traitors" (I assumed I did), go to 000 (I took the Hispanicy stairs to reboot without quitting the run) and find Add's treasure. I went there but I find nothing. Am I missing a traitor or is there something I didnt understand in 000 ?
You can't get what is there as Cif.
Ah, that explains it, thank you.
If I go as Gray , do I have to kill them all again or can I skip to the last step?
I might be wrong but I think they'll resurrect if you you go back to the enter brand screen.
After Mon you had to drop in the pit.
Cif can't take the B000 chest. Just complete your Cif run normally (read: go into Mon's funhouse.)
I get the feeling that the wave of people who keep deleting their saves and complaining about void status are reading too many spoilers.
What did he mean by this? I'm very scared!
You'll know later. Keep that screenshot.
Not him but I just got past that floor, I made it look the same, what happens if you don't?
It gives you a reminder.
You just get teleported back to the first room and have to redo the stages inbetween
I cannot reproduce this room for the life of me even knowing the pattern
Okay I beat the game once, now what?
you beat it twice
if you found the safety locker inside of you, then do it again but don't suck this time
Is there anything different? I think I found the safety locker well, I heard a lady singing
were you voided? beating the game without eating the fruit will give you a considerably different outcome
also start solving those murals if you haven't already, and anything else weird you came across
Damn it, so I just have to redo everything because I got voided halfway through? I guess that means I can get the second to last memory though - I accidentally skipped eleven floors when I fell in front of a statue
If you solve the murals the game starts changing up nicely.
How does one "solve a mural?" Am I missing something obvious, or is there a floor somewhere I'm supposed to make the patterns on?
Oh shit, just realized I already solved the first one
Try it again but be more careful with your lives.
remind me, do the stairs count for making a brand? as in, do they count as a solid tile like glass and regular tiles do?
You can't have stairs to make brands
dammit, so my plan doesn't work
that means that for this room
I'm gonna have to find a way to move those stairs somewhere else, replace them with a glass or solid tile, and then pick them back up, that's fucking annoying
Stairs need to be in your wand at the end.
wait I already fell down the statue and went back here
why is she still here?
Did you exhaust her dialogue before?
goddamit
Show her Add's staff.
Is there any benefit to being unvoided when fighting Bee? Took me surprisingly few tries and I've got a backup save so I could try and get through it alive.
Sadly no, though I managed to do it my first time through sheer luck.
Lev's lines change slightly if you make it to xhim without Voiding
Is there some trick to this? What's the deal with this room.....
There's another room...
Don't ask how I know.
You remember it for later.
I wish f12 worked in this game, I have to tab out every time.
It does
F12 is a feature of the steam overlay.
the trick comes later
take a screenie on your way out, for luck
What's wirh the whack-an-onion/space invaders/tempest clone?
Any hidden stuff or can I simply refuse to retry?
B096+
I just gave up and used the wings here but how would you do this without them and without kicking him down?
I wonder if I'll get some more dialogue if I bump into him now
Make a 1x3 bridge below the chest and travel to the right
Remember you face down when you open a chest
Ah right, I don't think I ever used that trick.
I don't actually remember if I had opened it or if it was already like this, but if I did, that would work.
Also I guess I already missed a bunch of extra character art. Pretty cool to have a context sensitive menu like this
should i bother doing lillie's route if i never got any items? actually how do i even transfer them as grey, is it related to a brand or something?
Probably not and yes.
ffs I warped too far to 215 and had to take the Hispanicy staircase.
I just wan to see Gors stinky hole D:
How do I get rid of tetrahedron on my ass?
The only ways I found either waste my only use of the staff or spawn a clone
not spawning a clone is the solution
No swords allowed ;^*~~
lewd
Yeah it's a cool thing in the game.
So there's no downside to using infinity on NG+?
god dammit I'm still fucking stuck on B053
how do I get the stairs out of the way and put something else in their place? Do I have to 1x3 there with the 3 solid tiles?
How about instead of cracking all the glass up top right away you use those tiles as a means of getting down there.
getting down there is not so much my problem as the fact I have to get down there TWICE
I don't remember what the mural said, it's the tail one
I can't do it, I give up
are you absolutely certain I can do the brand I mentioned in the next area?
If you mean snake brand then no, you should do unobfuscated ones first to get the items
I have the cube and sword, will I really have to loop around a third time before finishing my first unvoided run?
all the item brands don't require any glass tiles to solve on their intended floors
Are you saying this is not an item brand or not the intended floor? Don't brand rooms correspond to the most recent mural?
Yes. Why would snake, embodiment of lust, have wings as their item?
I don't know, I'm just taking things on as I find them.
A lindwurm is not that far off
You don't have to do snake brand before finishing unvoided run, it's not gonna help you
What brand are you trying to do here?
If CRAVING there's a better room for it in the next domain
I have a feeling I overthought B38+ a bit, after killing the last snake I had to basically drag the entire level in a complete circle to reach the stairs.
>no Johan, I promised to save you from death only if you showed a lot of devotion, overthrowing an entire kingdom of corrupt monarchs, raping a princess and then killing everyone in the kingdom just for us is not enough devotion, you missed one person(that you were devoted to killing) so we expect you to die.
>Gray, you spent over a thousand in DIS years which is al lot of devotion, you get ONE wish. Saving Lily? SIKE, she is actually pregnant and you only get ONE wish haha.
>Lilie? What the fuck are you doing here? I sense 0 devotion but I'm giving you a wish anyway. Talking with your dead mother? Nah lol, I'm bringing her back for free because you are cute, enjoy it.
What was her fucking problem?
She is more evil than all the Void Lords put together.
tbh senpai I don't know why the game wants us to sympathize with any of these anime whores, with the exception of Tail and Gor they are all ultra mega cunts.
>still gives you a choice while the other one uses you and just insta kills you[/spoiler}
Faustian deals do be like that
finally made it.
this meme material dialogue was worth it
"I'll wait for you to figure it out..." I think I'm been a retard here. But I have no idea.
sometimes changing your palette can be a good way to refresh your outlook
Love you anon, thx
i think i have FUCKED up
Wait is he not giving me a choice? I died at Bee in DIS level
nah you're good, eat the fruit
bee eats all your locusts so unless you first try her it's gonna happen
fuck it we ball
>those bee tracking lines
hey me too
I'm on B044 and someone wants to make a deal for all of my locusts, is it worth it? I already know about skipping levels for locusts
depends on how much knowing a shortcut is worth to you, and how many floors you think you can get by before finding another chest
;^))
I made it
>Gor asks you to tell Tan about her while smiling
>first (and only) thing Tan says after waking back up is "GOOOOOR"
Cute, also sad as fuck
oh, that wasn't a generic shout? damn
What the fuck am I supposed to do here. Do I need to reset? If so.. how?
>falling off from bee's lewd puzzle closes the game
Well fuck you too. Aside from OstRanger and If this minigame is the only thing I have left to complete. Unless Cif's Challenge is real
71 hours clocked, probably 10 hours spent shitposting on Ganker with the game open. It's up there with Outer Wilds and Rain World as game of the millennium.
>Unless Cif's Challenge is real
Don't click if you want to continue to savour your steak, but it's real.
I won't spoil myself the brand, but where did you find it in-game? Or is it through pure luck?
It was data-mined, unfortunately. I got it from one of these threads, and I don't think anyone has found it legitimately as of yet.
maybe there's something in Cif's run we haven't noticed yet. I feel like it would make sense to find it there.
Does it work when you input it?
yes
i also think it would make sense Cif's challenge would be unlocked by Cif but i think we looked at everything possible. or at least all the obvious things.
it doesn't help that Cif is just the normal layout with only one unique npc and everything else is gone [spoiler]besides tail and gor[/spoiler]
thinking off, can you get JUDGEd as Cif?
Cif's Challenge sounds suHispaniciously similar to Chip's Challenge to me.
This is a porn game isn't it
No, but it has jiggly snake tits
It has nipple-free family-friendly snek-tits and artistic nudity you'd sometimes see in early 90s games and one breastfeeding scene.
Also, just cleared 039+, jesus christ I'm not even a fifth of the way through hard mode and my blood pressure is already going nuts. I don't know if solving these makes me a genius or if the puzzle designer is a genius.
finished/got:
Gray void, normal, carcass, DIS
Lillie normal, DIS
Cif normal, carcass
Devroom and NOWAY
0st Ranger normal and IF
Soundtrack brand
am I missing something?
the zero ranger 1cc
Stinky hole
Cif bee or tree endings, depending on which one you meant by normal
thanks
I think it's mostly everything but did you do this optional stuff :
-Gray DIS, beating Cif fair and square
-Gray DIS, beating Lev during the white background part
-Lillie, kill the traitors, don't take the rod. Then go to B000 with Cif
-Cif, rest at her only tree
I tried the first one for a long time, it's out of my league
I did the second one, I believe
I'll do the rest, thanks
Peek only if you want or when you're finished to compare
First one give you
Second one give you a bunch of things to talk to in a big fleshy place before credits
Third one give you a non-ending Cif vs Lev that was posted in previous threads
Fourth one give you
ah I don't think i did the second then but I'm not sure if I want to redo such a run
I love the game but I'm starting to overdose
I'll take note of it, just in case
>I love the game but I'm starting to overdose
take a break, is that easy
I absolutely would have liked this game regardless but this past couple weeks of early word of mouth discovery and having to figure most everything out without guides being available is what made me fall in love with it.
whats the clue to the stinky hole
also WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PLACE SUPPOSED TO BE?
forgot to spoiler
anyone? im drawing a blank here
Under the button
thanks
Is there any point watching the cutscenes again after the first playthrough?
not if you're still playing as the same person, no
Other than for fun, no. Though Gray has the last one or two memories different on a non Void run
for fucks sake
I was wondering if it had something to say
you spare me the trouble
Now I'm glad my laziness won over my curiosity there
>bee eats all your spare crickets and then you fight a boss
this is kind of bullshit.
I'm about to fucking lose it with this DIS
Side note since I keep getting spoiled wtf is carcass? Or at least where should I head to to understand what it means
Ever been down in the big black void?
The only tile you 'need' to pick up is the memory one and that's optional
Wow I was massively overthinking this, thanks!
I appreciate the hint instead of plain tell but there's dozens of places where this statement is eligible
I mean total void
Next time you're there you might hear something.
Ah, I think I might know what you're talking about, thanks!
>itt bros reading every spoiler and speedrunning the first playthrough to reach endgame areas without even trying to experiment or discover things themselves
>itt bros reading every spoiler and speedrunning the first playthrough
that is your problem I only read no black post
I solved approximately 95% on my own, but I never would have figured out stuff like the snake tail puzzle and everything to do with DIS on my own.
What even is Cif's Challenge? You guys are posting the brand, but nobody has shown what exactly does it do
It's a score attack/speedrun mode.
I hope it has stinky hole's music
I won't even use it until I know where I can find it in game, I ain't a cheater
(´ ꒳` )
>get stuck
>reluctantly look up someone's playthrough
>solution was retardedly easy
was retardedly easy
welcome to puzzle games
sometimes it helps to just take a break and clear your mind of whatever shitty approach you are trying to make work whatever the cost.
I really tend to get stuck trying the same shit over and over expecting different outcomes until step away for a minute.
Can someone post all the brands? The ones you can input on the menu, not the floor ones.
>Cif's final attack
FUCK YOU TARO
>DIS music starts getting repetitive
>boot up Ninnie's theme on youtube
>the stages suddenly get easier
>accidentally pushed her into a pit
my greatest regret
so I just defeated the smiley conveyer belt boss and just bough me back to the regular mimic rooms.
what was the point of that area?
It's relevant when the hole is currently stinky.
was that Gor?
she seems way too upbeat
Gor isn't in a very happy situation at all when she ends up there.
B100+
I don't know how much time I spent trying to figure out how to move the buttons and stairs into a working configuration before just accepting that it is impossible and doing the easy thing, fuck
Shadow conga lines puzzles are some of my favorite in the game tbh, I always feel like a God when I manage to create a clean loop
The rock's dialogue is there for a reason
There's only one enemy that will fuck himself up on his own and from there you should be able to infer the only right moves available at the start
Keep in mind the dragon statues are also on the explosive tiles
actually the top snake can crash into a maggot too
Oh, yeah, true, you really should not have trouble killing it though, the room is really straightforward after you find how to kill the middle leech
>There's only one enemy that will fuck himself up on his own
4 of them, one leech about to step on lightning tile, one crosses the glass and traps itself on an explosive tile to go down together with the eye and third one collides with the maggot eventually
I think I got the order, though, thanks.
Bout to become an egg
Do I have to kill all of them with the specified method and in order? Seems impossible with the god damn dragon statues and half of them kill themselves before I can do shit
Talk to the rock to know what has to be killed by what. So long as they die the appropriate way, the order doesn't matter, so it's all about killing things before they die by another mean
What floors can I get the wings on?
Of all things in DIS[/spoilers] I didn't expect getting filtered by [spoiler]lore[/spoiler]
most of them are simple enough if you ever read any of the stones during the game. the rest are process of elimination.
if you get it wrong and take the stairs it just resets the floor. only picking up the stairs and jumping down will be your emergency Hispanicy stairway replacement.
when there's a choice between a hole and stairs afterwards, don't take the stairs.
About that... yeah, I went down the hole and I met Bee. The title screen has changed and I have Cif's brand now.
You should be able to solve this. Small hints: Mon's domain was 4th, and Add's statue is that "do something special" one.
screenshotting every finished brand paid off
here are some hints
statues that appear frequently in each domain
statue dialogue
statue appearance ie. tan and gormissing eye
>missing eye
what the fuck, I thought their heads were lower, those sprites are really fooling me
I need some tip for NG++
I killed Mon with Cif, but I don't know what to do now.
I just attacked one of CIFs fetus thingies and apparently it ended the fight instantly.
Did i miss something besides the dialogue?
But then, if i'd known i would have read the rest of the dialogue instead of ending the fight
There's a long monologue from Cif, plus a small scene as a reward for beating the fight without going the Lavos route./spoiler]
Man now i'm kinda salty, i hoped attacking the larva would just weaken the attacks. I'd hope for it to be online somewhere, but it feels like this is the only place playing this game.
Guess i'll have to track through DIS again at some point
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdmMRo6ygcI
Fortunately, it's in this thread:
You might have to go through DIS again if you want the rest of her monologue from dying, though.
[/spoiler]
You only need two solid tiles.
if I'm on floor 100+, is there an easy way to warp myself back to the start? I think I missed an item
...
That should be enough of a hint.
I don't get it.
It's possible that you've just not encountered the mechanism before, in which case you might want to avoid this spoiler.
There's two actually.
Literally impossible.
Any hint?
use your wings 🙂
Does somebody know what track plays during Gray's bedtime story?
what is wrong with you Gray, that's an awful bedtime story
Well, I solved one part of it. kinda
DIS tip?
iirc you need to push 3 statues in total, just 2 if you don't care for the gem
