I should have been clear, my apologies, but the "someone send him a screenshot" bit was sarcasm. I imagine he doesnt record these videos the day before he uploads them or anything, so he probably would have the puzzle solved by the time i made this comment. But that aside, if i genuinely thought it was a good idea, i would send the pics myself. Have some faith in him, guys. Everyone gets a bit of tunnel vision, even if its fun to joke about someone else's blindness, never seriously criticize someone's intellect over a video game or puzzle.
I think Kate needs to be in every episode cause she behind him and now has passed him meaning she understands how to play. She can be his guide. Egg and Kate is Win, Egg and Kate is You, Egg is Defeat
These videos are like those ads on Instagram where some person plays the game badly to make you wanna download it. The devs should hire NL on their marketing team asap.
Egg-level hints: Prison: Text can be pushed onto Keke. Keke can push Text. Try both at the same time! Research Facility: Timing is everything. Try aiming the bolt to the right before making it Move. Evaporating Water: Text can sink if the rules allow it. [Kate helped with this one.] Boiling River: "And You". And what Kate's trying to explain, is that Text can be pushed onto objects as long as the object isn't Stop, Push, or would otherwise destroy the Text. Though it doesn't matter if the text is "active" or not, it's purely rule-dependent.
Just wanted to say in all seriousness this is easily one of my favorite series on youtube. I love watching this and racking my own brain along with you, I look forward to it everyday. Thank you egg!
Omg lol. LISTEN Ryan. I know you're frustrated and feeling self conscious man but relax! Your anxiety is coming through! I drive trucks and everytime I feel like how you sound, something horrible happens. You got this man
@@xmm8299 Exactly, completing the new level after already encountering this gimmick makes it a walk in the park lol. Makes a good introduction to it though.
I will never understand your brain, which can link 5 different songs from the 90's into a single joke and play the same game for thousands of hours without dying, but just doesn't click with a set of growing rules in a series of levels.
Iteration is boring and boring hurts. I can certainly relate, it's why I'm bad at chess and good a chess puzzles (short bursts of iterative thinking versus sustained iteration). When I get tired of doing it my brain just stops everything and resets progress over and over again until I give up or force myself to go through every step in order. It really feels like a record skipping, and I feel exactly like that watching this.
That moment at 12:48 when he reverses to chase the bolt back to the word push without even considering once to do it for the solution is almost worse than the first puzzle.
That was a great explanation from Kate. It would have been perfect if, after explaining that you need to make "Cog is sink" and use the cog to break the skull, she had asked, "So what's the one thing we haven't used yet that could break the water?"
Honestly we just need Kate to come in at the end of every episode and say what we've been shouting for the past 3o minutes, the solidarity and validation is a godsend for my bloodpressure.
You have my support brother. I definitely want to see you get through these. Perhaps don't be afraid to take a little more time to list all possible actions before jumping ahead of yourself and missing a possible solution. You got this!
"Text can be pushed onto Keke. Keke on the other hand cannot be pushed onto text." "If we can get Keke to cancel out a rule somewhere..." "Is there anything we can do, following this point?" "I always look towards, you know, Keke is You, as the next step..." Okay, now how do you cancel out the rule, if that rule is on Keke and Keke is You?
@@titaniumdiveknife the first query one only finds manchildren talking about how food used to be icky and the second one is, funnily enough, mostly unrelated marvel shit. Not even a reference to Dr Strangelove. Post the link, I wanna learn to stop worrying and love the egg.
3:37 you had the solution right here my dawg, there's just one more step (which you figured out at 4:28, you just moved the wrong way...) 5:00, you have the steps right, you're just overthinking it. The only things you need to move are the bolt, Push, Defeat, Win and Move. Don't forget that things that are Move reverse direction when they run into something that is Stop. 17:10 This one was tricky for me. You only need to destroy one skull; don't forget that text can be sunk.
NL calling the hint stupid and dropping the 5.0 rating to 4.9, putting on par with "push flag to make flag is win", while he was always trying to do a different way of solving the puzzle... I immediately got the solution after hearing the hint, and I've been stuck on that puzzle for ages
"Cog is Water. Okay. Which makes it Push... no." You're *still* not getting how this works. When ` is ` the X turns into a Y. So now it has the Y's properties, not X's properties. Other Ys aren't affected either. This is a repeated pattern in your previous videos.
NL should just stay on one puzzel until he gets it. If he dose not get it until the end of the episode, then maybe try going to a new one next episode. The video is really entertaining. Despite my reaction to it being pure rage. Just hope NL doesn’t quit because of the comments.
I disagree with the first part. This kind of game is perfect for making people drive themselves into corners without realizing it, spending more time on a level won't help you most of the time. If you instead take a break and come back later your mind is "reset" (since you have to think through all the steps of the level again) and you're more likely to find the solution.
PSA to all the poor souls still watching this: TH-cam let's you play a video at times 2 speed, which is half the suffering, but still enjoy all of the content.
Normal Brain - Deduces what would form the win condition, works backwards to a logical solution Egg Brain - Pushes all the words together in every possible permutation, hopes the solution becomes apparent. Often repeats incorrect combination, multiple times in a row. Galaxy Egg Brain - Declares an incorrect solution ("This will make everything walls and won't work"). IMMEDIATELY PUSHES BLOCKS ACROSS THE SCREEN TO MAKE EVERYTHING WALLS. "Well, that didn't work."
I could be wrong, butwhen northernlion was in the first puzzle and he did keke is you, and he was inside the wall block, couldhe not have moved down and pushed the is and stop out of the way? 4:32
I find myself being close on a spiritual level with NL with how I can be simultaneously a genius and an absolute ape. I've solved puzzles which I've seen people complain about how complicated and mind-boggling they are and yet, on this first level here, I also completely missed even the possibility of considering "what if you move down now?" I now believe that I could be capable of doing the Pot Play.
OMG NL... You moved in the ONE direction that DOESN'T break the WALL Rule apart on that first level in the vid.... That was the Opposite of Galaxy Brain.
"I think I've got the right idea" Does completely the wrong thing, thinks he's close and continues to do random shit until he stumbles upon a solution by an accident or is one move away from it and gives up on the level.
The second/bolt puzzle made me very sad, I feel like the solution wasn't that hard. Hint in case NL reads this (rather than full solution): Need to do a rebound.
Egg is stuck in a room. One option will lead to certain defeat. Egg die to the same certain defeat 10 times. Egg ignores the only other option in the room that will lead to win and instead spend 30 minutes trying to force a third option out of nothing.
YoOoOoOo Get Keke in the 'wall' text and then become keke and push the 'is' and 'stop' away from it 'wall'. Because you become Keke while already inside 'wall' she doesn't effect that text! Then Presto. You were so close and it pains me. My friend and I are having hernias over this series. Good luck - love you, daddy egg x
Was there some kind of bug with research facility? I didn't recognize the level, so I checked my game and saw it was marked as unfinished even though I had a full area clear. So I did the level but nothing about it seemed familiar.
Hint Island 6: You need to time your movement with the bolts movement. Imagine Bolt as a second you which allows you simultaneous actions Island 12: Get everything to the right side. Don't sink the Cog. You can sink text.. Island extra one: Baba is melt and you First puzzle (Island 11 I think): Just watch the first 5 minutes of the video
This is an April fool's joke and anyone who tries to tell me otherwise has to also explain just how a person can be so completely blind to the solution of puzzles.
As someone who is playing the game alongside you: don't fall into the TH-camr pit of feeling like you have to be constantly creating input. This game benefits from treating every potential solution as a thought experiment so you don't get distracted. It's easier than you think, but perhaps less euclidean.
Hey NL, you were incredibly close on the Prison level, at 4:35. You'll notice that, as Keke, when "Wall" is on top of you, you can either walk left or down. You walked left, but walking down is your solution. The hint for this level is useful because having text on top of an object like Keke allows you to take control of Keke and break apart the sentence that you snuck Keke under. The same goes for Research Facility: you've almost got the solution, you just tried the right things at different times. Baba's gotta turn "Skull is Hot" into "Skull is Defeat" so that your Bolt doesn't melt. Then, Bolt has to break "Skull is Defeat" so that Baba can walk past the lower skull and retrieve "Win". You've just got to carefully position and time Bolt so that it can make it past Keke automatically with "Bolt is Move". Anyway, loving the series! Always satisfying to watch you hit eureka moments. Keep it up, NL!
4:35 nothing has ever made me hurt more than this moment when you went left with Keke.

I was more frustrated at this than anything in years of watching him play Isaac, including the pot play.

I found the tweet and his answer was just "I don't get it" (probably joking)
11:46 he's really over thinking and under thinking this level at the same time. You just have to put the bolt further back and time it
Left Play is the new Pot Play.
I was more frustrated in the first 5 minutes of this episode than I have been in my whole life. Good job ryab.

Why egg?!
Egg-level hints:
Prison: Text can be pushed onto Keke. Keke can push Text. Try both at the same time!
Research Facility: Timing is everything. Try aiming the bolt to the right before making it Move.
Evaporating Water: Text can sink if the rules allow it. [Kate helped with this one.]
Boiling River: "And You".
And what Kate's trying to explain, is that Text can be pushed onto objects as long as the object isn't Stop, Push, or would otherwise destroy the Text. Though it doesn't matter if the text is "active" or not, it's purely rule-dependent.
I like how he solved the SECOND part of Evaporating Water.
I feel like "salvage the and" might've been a better push in the right direction than "salvage the is", though I guess it depends on how you think.
As soon as I heard the hint for the first one, the whole puzzle clicked in my head. I then proceeded to scream silently, and enjoy the next 5 minutes
I'm usually pretty calm about this because i'm pretty dumb at puzzle games as well, but the first one of the video had me almost screaming
I literally yelled "NO" when he moved left. I want to cry.
Grow up.
Just wanted to say in all seriousness this is easily one of my favorite series on youtube. I love watching this and racking my own brain along with you, I look forward to it everyday. Thank you egg!
you have severely upset me today, egg. You SOLVED the first puzzle, ALL you had to do was step down, and you stepped left...

Watching nl solve the first level without realizing drove insane
I just... he gets so close to figuring it out and then does a 180... BOI STOP THAT
The second level with the bolt hurt me inside. He even kinda spelled out the solution for himself.
Valianttttt what was the solution? I couldn't figure it out
All he had to do was make the bolt move right first so he has enough time to push Hot away as Baba
Yeah, the solution is basically time sync with bolt and baba, many levels have that trick

Literally one move from the solution! "I think I got to give up on this one."

Credit where it's due though. He did solve the thief one finally:)
That moment at 12:48 when he reverses to chase the bolt back to the word push without even considering once to do it for the solution is almost worse than the first puzzle.
I swear to f*** I thought this was an April Fools Day prank when he turned into Keke and then started walking left instead of down

Egg is stuck in a room. One option will lead to certain defeat. Egg die to the same certain defeat 10 times. Egg ignores the only other option in the room that will lead to win and instead spend 30 minutes trying to force a third option out of nothing.

What an episode, I really hope this is an april fools joke.
When you walk away you won't hear me say REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SOLVE THE PUZZLE EGGMAN.
As someone who is playing the game alongside you: don't fall into the TH-camr pit of feeling like you have to be constantly creating input. This game benefits from treating every potential solution as a thought experiment so you don't get distracted. It's easier than you think, but perhaps less euclidean.
I sympathize, but with this game, you need to work the logic through as a thought experiment before you move a piece, lest you confuse yourself.
Also, rather than restarting, I recommend holding Z, it lets you understand the evolution of your past moves better
Lastly, if you solve something and it causes a major epiphany, restart the level and solve in as few moves as possible to cement the mechanic
I think the best way to enjoy these videos is to not try to solve the puzzles and just watch NL suffer.
The second puzzle is so obvious it hurts
Evaporating river took me forever to beat, how they even to make small lvls so hard...
For how simple the solution was it threw me for a loop for longer than I'd care to admit as well.
Hey NL, you were incredibly close on the Prison level, at 4:35. You'll notice that, as Keke, when "Wall" is on top of you, you can either walk left or down. You walked left, but walking down is your solution. The hint for this level is useful because having text on top of an object like Keke allows you to take control of Keke and break apart the sentence that you snuck Keke under.
The same goes for Research Facility: you've almost got the solution, you just tried the right things at different times. Baba's gotta turn "Skull is Hot" into "Skull is Defeat" so that your Bolt doesn't melt. Then, Bolt has to break "Skull is Defeat" so that Baba can walk past the lower skull and retrieve "Win". You've just got to carefully position and time Bolt so that it can make it past Keke automatically with "Bolt is Move".
Anyway, loving the series! Always satisfying to watch you hit eureka moments. Keep it up, NL!
Hey my dude have you considered that like text is not float?
There's no way that watching this can be good for my health.
He solved the first one and the one with the bolt and he didn't realize it.
He played us like a damn fiddle.
When NL is literally 1 single key/button press away from winning, but still manages to fail.
