just subbed. we should do some jolly cooperation sometime. im doing a play through on my channel currently and we are about the same level of progress

Hi! I see you are trying to complete one of the hardest late game challenges in the base game, which you can do if you are stubborn enough, but there are so, so many paths where you can explore to get meaningful upgrades for your character right now. If you look on the map, you can see some unfinished black tunnels on the map, teasing new places. You have to check map areas more precisely - there a lot of them which you can access already. I can give some hints down, if you want you can check it ... There are some important parts of the bottom royal waterways you have not explored. You also have the key to something important in the ancient basin...

So, TH-cam randomly boosted your video for me because I've been watching some gameplay vids recently - man it's still so painful to see people start playing ONI (as well as other games to be honest). However, even where you made some pretty hard beginner mistakes, you clearly have an analytical mind and were able to figure out things pretty quickly, and that's pretty cool! Good video 👍

impressive gameplay!!

Great game

How did you miss the actual puzzle at the first teleporter for that long?

Full analysis of Devotee language: Components: Line underneath the glyph means verb A half-circle to the left of glyph means "Contain potential" (e.g. key contains potential to open) A frame encasing the glyph means location. - Type of glyphs: Pure - Glyphs which don't contain glyphs or components in themselves (e.g. death, music, god, man) Composed - Glyphs which are composed out of component and glyph (e.g. devotee, instrument, cemetery, key) - Deconstructing: Using all this knowledge we can deconstruct multiple composed glyphs which contain unknown glyphs. Door=Contain Potential+Unknown Glyph I could assume that glyph in "door" is "stop" because that's what door's function is. So door contains potential to stop which makes sense. (PURELY THEORETICAL. ITS UNKNOWN WHAT GLYPH PRESENT IN DOOR ACTUALLY MEANS) - Constructing: Opposing deconstructing we can construct glyphs ourselves. How about we create word for gardener? First of all, gardener is a human, so we draw "L" to indicate man. Second gardener is related to plants, so we draw "plant" glyph to indicate that. So we get Man+Plant=Gardener Quite simple and fun! - Here's so much I would like to tell you. But TH-cam comments are quite limited. Maybe I'll do a bit of explanation in discord if you're not against that.

Just found your playtrough. I must say, i am quite impressed. 1st playtrough i have seen where people take notes. Also, figuring out that zero g cave must be in the center of the planet right away is totaly brilliant. You are gona love this game.

It saddens me that you didn't realize the seed in the bramble is surrounded by dead Nomai bodies. Not "scientific equipment." 6:23:29 You jump to conclusions far too quickly about the solutions/expectations for a given puzzle or bit of information. You haven't even figured out how to land on the Quantum Moon yet, so you don't know what this "shrine" even is. Yet you think you have a full understanding of what the north pole/south pole puzzle requires, and the function of the shrine. So you dismiss your presumed, incorrect interpretation of the information as "obnoxious." Remember the solution to getting into the Sun Station Warp Tower. This game consistently provides subtle and elegant solutions. You're just showing impatience in not letting the game lead you there.

I've watched the two VODs you've posted for this game thus far. You're doing well overall. I'm going to offer a bit of unrequested advice that you can certainly ignore or take to heart. And if you'd like, I will gladly buzz off and never make a suggestion again. But I have to put it out there: USE YOUR SHIP LOG. You've used it once or twice, and never seem to return to it, and I don't understand why. It's so helpful indicating connections you're seeing (but then forgetting about) and when there's more to explore that you may have missed. If nothing else, it'll soothe those frustrations you are holding onto that puzzles are just there for "lore" reasons. Hope this is helpful. And if it's not, or if you'd rather not have been told this at all, I sincerely apologize. I just want your experience to be as good as it can be.

You're totally right on the vaccine, maybe they're hoping to get the vaccine in the off chance that they get infected. I think they should have said cure. Unless they're in the lottery so they don't have to wear a gas mask

Oof never got the hint that you can drop Fire berries on the ground.

Nice video, dropped a like!

Wow, that's definitely the first time I've seen someone pick up their copy of the Bible and casually read from it while playing Talos 😂 That's awesome

Thanks for uploading the stream here! There are too few Talos Let's Plays, and yours is excellent 👍I'm ‍excited for Talos 2, hope to watch you play that one, too, after I've finished it <3

Cool video. Keep up the good work

Thanks for playing! This was a huge passion project for me back when I released it. Looking back, I think the puzzle ideas were quite creative, but the execution was pretty hit or miss. If Talos 2 has an editor, I'm hoping to make an even better experience!

It was nice to see this beautiful map after a few years

rebirth is a marvolous mod, good choice

Wow very nice with this star, I remember how I could not earn it and did'nt know the solution..✌️ I hope one day I will see you playing Mysteries from beyond the grave but if you do, start with part 3 because there is a start for really challenging puzzles. Good luck

Are you using some button for remembering connections? Because I see that you are making connections again, everytime when you take the connector

Nice gameplay, I really like how properly you explore the world

Njce gameplay! Try sometimes my content in workshop - Mysteries from beyond the grave! ✌️

Aww you didn't look at any of the other endings?

It's been a while but I think the point of the sounds in the tram ride thing is that they lead you the correct path to the exit so that you don't have to brute force it or draw a map. The whole Selenitic Age relies on sound puzzles. N, S, E, W directions each have a sound that plays, and NE, NW etc play a combination of those sounds.

Hi, I know its a bit too late, but I wanted to share a strategy that I use for solving the tetromino puzzles. Your solution at 3:26:44 consists of 5 sub-blocks. The 3x4 subblock in the upper right consisting of the 1x4 and 2x2 pieces, the 3x4 subblock beneath, the 2x4 subblock consisting of two L's right of it and the 4x4 subblock in the upper left corner. Besides general symmetry, I always try to find out whether I can fill the puzzle with such subblocks. And for these subblocks themselves you can again test for symmetry. I find it easier to remeber or construct these smaller subblocks and then combine them to a larger shape (if possible) than tackling the whole puzzle at once. Sometimes you can even find non rectangular subblocks. For example with an L and S piece you can build a 3x3 block with one corner missing. You can build the same from two T pieces. Hope that helps someone!

I have to correct you at around 5:15:00. The painter's algorithm for rendering is actually pretty bad, as it cannot handle cyclicly overlapping or intersecting objects. And especially with modern hardware, rendering has become extremely parallelised which also does not work with the painter algorithm (it needs to draw all objects sequentially). Instead a parallel pipeline is used where each object is handled individually. This allows for culling (meaning removal of objects that are not currently in view) at a very early stage in the pipeline and therefore can increase performance drastically. Only at the very end, a depth buffer (distance from object to camera) comparison is made for each pixel to determine which object is actually seen in that pixel. Hope that doesn't come of as a know-all, but I wanted to share a little bit more insight. Great playthrough by the way. I have to say you are pretty good at finding the stars. I took a lot longer for some of those.

Great video! I'll admit I've played through this game so many times its refreshing seeing somebody new come in and learn. You even taught me something i had no idea about. Its that you can use the mouse wheel to cycle through actions. If you ever want to replay the games with mods i have a specific folder for around 10gb of mods that all work together and installing them is as easy as copy and paste. I would recommend what you are doing and just diving into the game because the base game is sooooooo goood. I look forward to seeing your actions and story decisions as I've never watched anybody else play this game before.

First

1:24:31 - You wondered what happened here. Remember that debris that was sitting on the elevator? You recognized the emblem on the side. It was the part of the dome of the visiting chamber that Atrus made at the top of the age. When Sirrus destroyed the chamber a piece must have landed on the elevator blocking your path up. That chamber was made out of nara rock so the only thing that could destroy it was Sirrus' crystal bombs. You moved the cup (at 1:09:33) out of the way so the bomb fell on the floor and exploded.

3:52:27 - You were looking to see if the the crystals had an associated circle, hexagon, or octagon. You were on the right track but the shapes are very subtle so you missed them. Here are timestamps where the shapes are visible in case you're curious :) 2:55:37 - Pentagon 3:24:42 - Octagon 3:33:19 - Circle

1:34:43 - I don't think you ever found Catherine's journal (it's in a drawer in the garden laboratory). Catherine was on Tay trying to relax after a disagreement with Atrus about releasing thier sons.

1:58:52 The game was mostly pre-rendered like the other Myst games. But it was mixed with some real time 3D rendering overlaid on each 360 viewing sphere. It was a complex method which is why it takes so long to load each sphere. I'm sure that's why the lighting changes during cinematics because different teams were working on different tasks and they were less coordinated than the previous games where it was all rendered at once with less compositing. Edit: Looks like this is addressed by chat at 2:02:16 :)

I think this episode is misnamed (should be "4") :)

The OCD in me still is bothered by the ending you chose :)

Everyone who plays this game deserves a like ;-)
