Hyper Light Drifter thread: Fuck the wall hugging secrets edition
Old Thread: >>332768205
When is coop being patched in? Is it going to be local only, like very other gamemaker game?
has anyone gotten 100% yet? i think i know where the north fragment is but thats the first set that im going for
also i love this happy skeleton
>>332831882
Co op's in one of the demos, but not for the main campaign
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtOJDkmGMcA
It'll probably be added in as a survival mode, or a challenge mode.
You're looking at a month for pc, several for vita.
what the fuck do obelisks do?
how do i get all guns?
>>332832154
Where?
I have 7/8 in north, but I seem to have exhausted every possible spot where anything could be
>>332832359
>what the fuck do obelisks do?
the fuck you talking about?
>how do i get all guns?
beat all the bosses. also one's hidden on a body in the middle of no where.
Not that you need all the guns. Railgun works for everything, and shotgun is useful in a few situations - everything else is inferior to those two
>>332832729
ill post a cap when i get back there, there's a gated teleporter that i havent accessed in any manner (not the library one, i got that one)
>>332832154
he's like "dude... what?" each time you walk by him
>>332832980
if you mean the one near the crushers, that's the exit from the secret area
the entrance to the secret passage is like just before the crushers
>>332831593
>fuck the wall hugging
fucking this.
A good secret will still tip the player off with discoloration, an item where they normally wouldn't be, even just a hint to go that way.
A bad secret gives no fucking indication that it's there until you've stumbled upon it.
This game is made up of 3/4's bad secrets. Like holy fuck, WHY.
Here's a list of all Eastern region keys and puzzle pieces.
Can someone who has all 8 Northern and Southern region pieces post your map too, please? This way we can all work together to unlock all of the secrets.
>>332833365
I meant *Northern and Western
What's everyone's drift high score?
I'm at 457.
>>332831593
Is this game worth it? Art looks really nice
>>332833761
Not for less than $10
>>332833761
It's a more open Link to the Past with more combat and less puzzles.
It's bretty good. Not amazing, but bretty good.
>>332833761
it's ok. I'd pay $15, more if the secrets were less retarded
are there no guns in NG+?
>>332835383
you unlock them the same way
>>332835383
no grenades
>>332835507
again you unlock them
>>332833365
Does anyone know how to get to that top right one? I can see it, but I can't get to it.
>yfw you get 800 dashes
How many capes/swords/followers are there?
More Indie garbage.
>>332833761
>>332833761
pros:
>combat

>art style
>world buildingthat giant in the lake gave me goose bumps

cons:
>explorationusually revolves around retarded hug the wall "secrets"
>some really fucking stupid puzzlesDark maze puzzle in the north
>kbm controls SUCK
>gamepad shooting controls
>slow ass regen animation
Overall, it's pretty damn good. If you're looking to 100% it though, you'll definitely get irritated.
>>332836741
cons:
>800 dashes
>>332836741
>combat
after playing western area I never want to do the combat ever again
I do not like dealing with 10000 enemies followed by another area with 1000000 enemies
the wall hugging is such bullshit. the lack of actual indicators on the map of what you have collected is infuriating too. on the west side, i have 7 triangles for example. i have no fucking idea where the 8th is. i also have 4 keys and 5 monolith pieces found but fuck me if i know where i got them
also do you get a weapon after killing the boss south? cause i didn't
>>332837241
I did forget about this.
100% bullshit.
>>332837369
the secret to combat isgetting good
if retarded anon from last thread can power through the west, so can everyone else
>>332838761
I beat the west
but the fact that each area had 3-5x more enemies than it should have made it tedious as fuck. It was not particularly hard, it was just a slog
>retarded neon color vaperwave indie title
no ty
>>332838970
Are you for real actual serious?
>>332839513
Did you forget the few areas before the boss where there were 10+ dogs, 10+ katana dudes, and a bunch of shooters everywhere?
Anybody got a list of costumes so far?
Yo how do I get to this last piece.
Reminder that even Japan shilled the game
This game has really good things going for it but there are 3 major things that irk me:
1) Obviously the wall hugging secrets
2) The soundtrack, I can't think of a single song from the game off the top of my head
3) The FUCKING LEVEL DESIGN, the way the levels are built feel half assed and nothing feels memorable
>>332839789
>Over TWENTY enemies? I don't have time for this!
But seriously I liked it. Lone enemies take literally two seconds to kill, and the big fights were chaotic and I enjoyed them.
>>332832875
You're ignorant if you think the magnum styled handgun that shoots out the circular projectile isn't very effective at taking out ranged units.
Even the original pistol serves purpose in many different scenarios. Don't speak as if you've got any real mastery of the game.
I've completed the eastern area and decided to go west, that place is gay. I stopped halfway and went to the northern area and these bird things are gay.
This is going to be the new Undertale. In a month /v/ will shit on it and Tumblr will have its way with it.
>>332840528
why use the magnum when the railgun hits fullscreen immediately, pierces enemies, and does the same amount of damage
I find it very fun. /v/ ruins it like they do every other game by playing it for 12 hours in a row then complaining they're sick of it. Trust me, it's very pleasant and fun to play. You can always torrent and try before you buy.
If only there was a website like this without the evil hate filled perverted deviants. Why can't there be somewhere else I can leave to??
>>332840623
FUCK YOU SOSA
>>332832875
shotgun is OP as fuck, takes big chunks out of boss health
>>332840887
Aesthetic is more than enough reason.
>>332841076
The shotgun was why I won the last fight.
Its damage point blank is a Boss Killer.
>>332840971
Reddit.
Seriously, you'll usually find actual discussions on video game subreddits. The one thing that annoys me the most about that place is that it's usually full of developer nuthuggers.
>4chan hates devs/games and shits on you if you don't agree
>Reddit loves devs/games and shits on you if you don't agree
To be honest, I don't mind the polarization.
Hyper Light Drifter or Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP?
>>332840528
Magnum doesn't serve a single purpose once the Railgun shows up.
Both do 2 units of damage and have the same amount of ammo, but the Railgun is instant and pierces.
The original pistol serves no purpose once you get the Railgun and Shotgun. Railgun does more damage overall, while the Shotgun sprays out more bullets than the original pistol. Quickswitching does away with any use the original pistol has.
>>332841076
>>332841375
Yeah I haven't used it on a boss yet, but it 2 shots those big crystal golems in the western area.
Having to get right up in an enemy's face can get you damaged, though.
>>332841480
I hate the opposite just as much if not more. Isn't there just somewhere normal where people feel emotions appropriately, not in extremes?
>>332841604
Hyper Light Drifter is more of a game.
I actually remember the areas in Superbrothers though. And Sword & Sworcery has WAY better music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xls_H2FLJow
Like it's not even fair how good Sword and Sworcery's music is, especially when the game was so flat.
Alright, I found the shotgun on a random dead guy after killing frogzilla, but...
Where do I find the Railgun and the Magnum?
Anyone know how to access these areas? They are in the long hallway just before the northern area's boss (DDR bird man).
>>332842076
Railgun is found at Harvey Birdman.
Magnum is useless so don't worry bout it.
>>332842076
north and west bosses respectively
yo this north shrine fragment is IMPOSSIBLE to find we need to rally and find this shit
>>332832154
that's the avatar for the composer
I found a couple of trainers, but none of them have what I'm looking for (infinite stamina). I don't want infinite health or upgrade points, that kind of kills the whole reason for playing the game, but I want to be able to use the sword dash more than twice.
Shit sucks.
>>332842478
Stylish.
I wondered what would happen when the box got too full of chips. Turns out they just give you a bigger box. Kinda anti-climatic.
Anyways, I've already beat, in order, West boss, then North boss, then East boss.
Does the game become more fun when you spend the upgrades, or should I just finish the game upgrade-less? I'm actually having quite a bit of fun right now - it's not terribly difficult either.
how the fuck do I access any part of this area
>>332842747
Damn Cathy, where the hell did you find all those upgrade chips?
>>332842747
if you're doing ok then yea just let it rock, NG+ unlocks all core upgrades anyways
>>332842747
Keep going, why not? See what happens if you get all of them.
>>332842906
Everywhere. I just haven't spent any yet.
Should I? Does it get more fun? Or should I just beat it naked?
How do you unlock the alternate drifter? I want to play as the anubis guy who shoots lasers
>>332843139
Kickstarter only.

There has to be some way to cheat it in

whats the deal with this door
I have all 4 triangles, why wont it open?
>>332837819
Triangles you found are marked on your map as grey squares
>>332844109
Press space and figure out how to get there
>>332844267
>all 4 triangles
>doesn't see the other 4 triangles

You need8 triangles

Somehow I wound back here

For bottom pic theres hidden platforms at top right of that area
for top picture I have no idea and need to know as well

>>332845698
>top right
Sorry top left lol
>>332844909
The east is the first place I went to (I looked at the map and figured it'd be the most annoying area based on how it looked) and I think that place sucked hard. The west has annoying fights, too. The north is actually kind of easy but I haven't explored south yet.
uhh how the fuck do i get past this wall?
i already unlocked all 4 but it's not opening???
>>332845928
Look about 10 or 15 posts above you
>>332835464
but you don't start with a pea shooter? Since there's no tutorial section I mean
>>332833761
Just wait till it gets a 50% off because right now is a lil bit expensive.
Or just pirate it
Got this game yesterday. First time I've enjoyed an indie title in what feels like years
Hopefully radio the universe comes out soon too. It's another kickstarter game that looks very similar, though a bit of a darker atmosphere
>>332845928
You need 8
WHERE IS THE LAST FUCKING PIECE IN THE NORTH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>332836741
don't forget all the bugs. It's basically an unfinished game.
So I returned to the tutorial section by going through the North
I landed in this place - where usually you're taken to the main hub
There's a key, an upgrade and something I can't open
Any ideas?
>>332846535
Maybe you need all the mystery tablets?
>>332843089
It makes it easier, but chain dash is fun
what is new game alt and how do I unlock it
So i've just been 4 triangles and killing the bosses and now I'm at the South part.
I feel like I'm missing a lot
>>332846632
Seems so
>>332846237
yes you do

>credits roll

>Other notable characters from the regressive left
What do you think they contributed to the game's development?
>>332842263
i damage boosted to the right side and couldnt find anything for the stairs (top picture) either, I have a feeling thats our mystery fragment
I keep falling to my death, can you actually double dash over empty space to reach spaces and I'm just bad, or is it impossible?
Because there's this upgrade part that's not possible to get in one single dash.
>>332847218
More than likely a hidden way to it
You can't dash (legally) again over chasms.
In the preview build like 1 (maybe 2) years ago you could but it was frame perfect.
>>332847354
Damn I hate when frame perfect bugs like that are fixed, so much for hoping for amazing bullshit gamebreaking speedruns
>>332846803
well, I didn't. NG+ skips the segment up until you wake up in the house. I went out of the town to make sure, and I have absolutely no guns, and can't equip any.
>>332847631
Oh don't worry those kinda speedruns will definitely still be a thing
You can glitch out of boss rooms with enough speed
Keep in mind I actually don't know if that frame-perfect bug was fixed. I just personally haven't been able to pull it off and don't feel like wasting resources doing it
Ok, this is the west. I'm missing one fucking red diamond thing.
Where the fuck is it?
Do I need keys to get to it?
It's apparently around this area, but I just can't find it.
So the tablet room in the beginning area only gives you another set of clothes?
>>332848051
Is it in this area?
I'm going to be fucking mad if it's in this area and I've spent an hour looking for it.
>>332847801
I'm reminded of the bullshit 20 min Ori speedruns where if you abuse a frame perfect double bash on a boulder you can get high enough to glitch into the final boss chase.
>>332848425
Hey I actually did one of those runs! A lot of fun if you haven't tried it
Something doesn't look quite right about this little bit of wall. Any ideas people?
>>332848387
Nah m8 its not
>>332848724
Nevermind I'm dumb. It's a common tileset
>>332847631
Don't worry, the speedrunning community for the game will decide the older version is better to run because it still has the skip
>>332848724
there's a ton of those walls, try bumping into it with a multidash or grenade it, but i doubt anything will come of it.
i glitched into the 8fragment door to see if it leads to the stairs or something, ill be back with results soon
>>332848981
THEN WHERE IS IT?
>>332849045
Yeah I was just being stupid
I did however find this
>>332849092
Is it....one of theeeeeeeese?
>>332847218
Can't infinite dash over chasms. Chances are you're missing something. Maybe a hittable switch or invisible platforms. Hug conspicuous ledges and mash Interact.
>>332842873
Hey, i was stuck on this part as well, theres a switch on the west side of the giants area, lined up with the tile that has the exotic flower, just need to go down a bit for the camera to let you see it.
>>332846535
Here. Let me save you the trouble. It's not worth it.
>>332849350
Nope, got those three, got these 4 too
>>332848724
I don't have enough autism to perfect a speed run myself and just like to enjoy games at my own pace, but I do love watching the abuse other people can put a game through.
>>332849806
>>332849809
Yeah I never figured anything out for myself. I just watched the popular speedrunners do it. Ended up learning how to perfect it myself because I had nothing better to do for a week or two.
Pretty fun but I wouldn't do it with a game you don't reeeaaally enjoy
>>332849938
You are my favourite person.
Heartfelt thanks anon.
>>332850110
NOW SHOW ME ALL THE NORTH PIECES ANON
I KNOW YOU FUCKING HAVE THEM
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>332850252
I just found the last north piece myself
>>332850402
Holy fuck dude where is that at
Don't tell me its in the fucking smashing boxes area
>>332850252
sorry, only got four of them
>>332850560
Go down to the entrance of the big fight area here
Drift to the left. If you keep following the edges to the top there's a weird birds nest thing and an upgrade
HOWEVER
If you go to the bottom of the left platform there's a prompt for invisible platforms
>>332850707
I kinda ploughed through the north
>>332850005
Ori was my favourite game last year by a mile and it deeply hurts my soul that there isn't even a release date for PC definitive edition yet, but I don't have the desire to perfect it to the point of 20 mins.
>>332850852
god the ingame map is so unhelpful, lol
which entrance? far left middle or right?
also KUDOS, i spent the last like 3 hours lookin and couldnt find it
Beat the game, steam version, not a backer.
Is there a way to get the alternate drifter or am i fucked?
>>332851152
It's hard to describe and I can't take a picture right now because I'm doing the place the 8 key teleporter takes you to
It's a big square place anyway. Best I can give you is the general location and my previous directions until I get back there man
>>332851502
its cool man, thanks for sharing, ill try to find it in the meantime
i checked the 8 fragment door, there's a key, a monolith, and a ton of upgrades. the key is just before the final arena on a hidden platform to the right, good hunting
>>332849938
How on earth do you get down there?
I'm in the area with the man and the 20thousand key door. There doesn't seem to be a normal way down.
>>332851418
You're fucked
>tfw backed but not enough for the extra skin
Fuck my life senpai
>>332851842
I backed 15 bucks, but didn't bother checking for add-ons because I was sure this game would be vaporware anyway.
Do you just have to back more than $10 or do you NEED to go for the add-on?
>>332852124
IIRC it was at like the 40-50 dollar mark.
Fucking surreal that it's been 2 years already, where did my life go
>>332851808
The square where the 2 dogs are in theres a dead vulture bird thing next to the upgrade you get next to it is what he means
>>332851502
here it is for anyone else wondering
Does anybody have outfit locations?
>>332854101
thank you anon
can you also explain where the bottom left crystal in the west is? apparantly it's right around this guy, but I can't fucking find it to save my life
Has anyone found a translation for this yet?
Fez had a similar language thing that you could find a translation for using "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" to decode shit.
>>332855457
why is no one talking about this
>>332855127
NEVER MIND I FOUND IT HOLY FUCK
>>332855998
The secret's already been revealed, and it's not worth it.
Oh, and the language is just something the devs thought looked cool. Dev's already been confirmed that it's complete nonsense.
>>332855998
because all you get for it is this >>332849745
>>332856286
source?
>>332849745
>>332856425
What am I looking at?
A new drifter?
A new weapon?
A new companion?
A giant roach?
So do you get anything for getting all crystals/keys/whatever? Or is it all just to get the pillars which get a costume?
Also do you win anything from the arena or is it just for fun
>>332856523
his ass
This dashing shit has beat me, I hate when a game does something like this. Couldn't even get 200.
>>332836741
Can someone tell me how to finish the dark maze puzzle in the northern region?
I can get up to the point where you activate the switch, and then you're faced with a narrow hallway containing a single smashing block.
It seems impossible to get past. Fuck.
>>332857698
I fucking wish this game had a battlefield that was large, flat, and with no/very few obstacles. That would be incredibly fun to fight on.
Something like a coliseum with different kinds of enemies. Fuck, people need to start modding this shit.
>>332842021
HLD really reminds me of Fez' music.
If I remember correctly, the same guy did both, but it feels kinda re-used
Who purple here?
How the fuck do I get over there?
I tried shooting the red switch, and there are no longer jump upgrades in the shop. Is getting over here important? I need one more triangle on the west side to get past the door with my knight friend.
I also can't find it, and the map isn't at all useful. I just keep going in circles.
How do I access the teleporter pads in the north underground library room before the north boss?
>>332858174
>Something like a coliseum with different kinds of enemies.
>he doesn't know
go get more keys, anon
>>332858515
those switches are only activated by railgun shots
>>332858174
Doesn't it have survival mode and Co op coming down the pipe?
Looking for something to take my mind off of DaS3.
Should I go for this or Salt & Sanctuary.
I realize there's going to be some bias because all of you have likely played HLD and some of you havent played S&S, but oh well.
>>332858174
>>332858869
Survival mode is already in the game.
There's a locked door in town that leads to it.
>>332858112
Go to the south of the smashing block
It won't smash you as long as your whole body clears the wall.
Yeah, it pissed me off too.
>>332858470
who /black/ here?
>>332858795
>those switches are only activated by railgun shots
Is there a triangle piece over on that side or is the just the currency piece?
I really need to find that last triangle, I've been combing everywhere I can access on the west side.
>>332858885
Do you like link to the past with more fighting, less puzzles and a dash mechanic? Then get this game.
>>332858885
As someone who has played both, I'd say go for S&S if you're looking specifically for something DS-like.
HLD is hardly like the Souls games
i did it, boy did i ever do it
anyone know how to open this?
>>332856582
you get a shit colored cape, a shit colored sword, and a shit colored companion for finding all of the tablets
>>332861104
Does the sword have any special abilities/animations/sounds?
>tfw you stomp a mudhole in this piece of shit bird
>>332861423
No, but it is unique because, unlike every other sword in the game, it is the color of shit.

Took a while but here's the completed north part.
>>332860672
Apparently its a fake door, entrance is somewhere elseor so I read from last thread
>>332858112
I just ran into the hallway and chain-dashed down as soon as it came up, made it through fine on my first try. My asshole was clenching because I thought I'd have to start the whole maze over again if I got smashed.
>>332862560
That shit is so annoying. I don't mind when games have rewards for going above and beyond because they're pretty much just trophies/bragging rights items, but I hate when they are ONLY cosmetic.
Give that item a special or unique ability or some other perk god damn it.
anyone know how to get the seam achievements for
Nothing's Easy, Now is it?: Opening death
Meditation: Casey would know what to do
I'm assuming they're not bugged,
Accidentally bought the grenade.
Is it useful or have i wasted my driftbucks™?
>>332866085
I think it's good for chucking into the big mobs. I think the damage scales with proximity , so make sure they're close
>>332866085
It's hella good, big AoE that does like 3dmg, great for not having to fight a billion dudes at once
>>332866085
It has some utility for certain. Use it to clear out difficult groups of enemies with ease. You'll often encounter difficult situations like this deeper inside of the dungeons.
>>332866085
Just bought the same upgrade and already proved useful
Don't worry mang
