  • If you're wondering why some mummies came out of the teleporter which appeared at the top of the teleporter, that was a very heavy dose of foreshadowing. What lies beyond in the next area is unlike anything I've ever faced in a dungeon crawler, a battle of attrition taken to the extreme.
    Some may point to the Seige of Yvel in Lands of Lore and say it's the same thing, but they're very different in that there are multiple places in Yvel for you to hide away and rest from the attacking army. Provided you don't let yourself get pinned in a corner without an interior door, you'll be fine. There's no such safety in the desert, however, and the mummies aren't even the most dangerous threat. Oh, there's something much worse out there.
    Much worse.

    When I played LoG2, up until this point I was lamenting for the cramped corridors and the small rooms. Then I hit the desert and I remembered an old saying: “Careful what you wish for”.

      It is indded remarkable change of freedom of movement. The area is also nicely crowded so it is in a way a moving labyrinth:)

    Of course, the tricky part of not being overconfident is knowing when you're being overconfident or not. You can't be too overconfident about that either =P

    The biggest surprise in the game. The other ones are fairly predictable.

    There is an easter egg here in this desert if you look hard enough (or want to just look it up).
    It has no bearing on gameplay at all, but it is a nice lore thing.

    My reaction when i found this was along the lines of "oh, this is a bit unexpected"...

    Hey there’s 2 golems! That’s quite problematic😅

    Noooooo....now I have to wait 48hrs to see the Golem fight!!! Well I will admit that when you popped out of the teleporter into a veritable sea of mummy/zombies I was a little shocked. Very fun game! Thanks!

    They respawn... but the respawn rate is so slow it doesn't affect the first battle. Only causes new enemies to appear if you go back hour or so later.

    Why did your save numbers suddenly jump from 47 to 74?
    That sword you got is the best weapon for Ivrekk in the game (unless you frequently utilise Moon Blade's special attack). Make sure to check it out.
    I'd say it's one of the best times in the game to use your bombs, but you probably already fought with golems (and didn't use bombs).

    There is something interesting buried in the desert. But the game only gives you an obscenely hidden clue to it on the credits screen of the game's ending, but there's way too much chance for role playing given your party choice NOT to have your party dig it up!
    On the south east corner of the map. The forth square eastward of the single square rock that isn't connected to anything. You should have an outcropping of stone to the immediate south west of you. Face north. Dig THREE times. Watch arrogant person snap. Friends finally demand answers or not they're moving another step?

  • @XX-sp3tt
    @XX-sp3tt 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    There is a vault is far more precious items somewhere you should have saved those gold keys for.

    Funny story, when I did this area, the Tricker killed one of golems by walking into it, easy win for me, but I wanted the experience for defeating it so I reloaded.
    And yes, the Trickster shows up to make a bad situation worse.

    That desert is still so dang impressive, doubly so for being from 2014.
    Like, I really respect the studio didn't cheat. If you're patient, you CAN actually clean that entire place out. It's an actual, proper hoard of large, but finite number. And they even foreshadowed it.

      Definitely a good example of intelligent level design, as the whole "desert" actually uses few, if any, new assets not seen frequently before. It is basically just the sandy parts of the Beach tile set from the first area of the game, but by coming to this area only after a long time in the dark and cramped pyramid, being outside again in the sun really makes it feel like a new world. Add in the distraction of mummy hordes and golems, it takes a while for the asset re-use to become apparent; very impressive indeed!

      While there is an achievement for putting on the entire rogue armour set, it has no set bonus.

    8:00 No, no, the Golem is 100% made of lava, as lava and magma are the same thing - the difference is that lava is on the surface (like the golem) where as magma is buried under the earth.

    • @SentinelProxima
      @SentinelProxima 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      You are correct, but Magma Golem is the official name of this enemy. Kiko dropping another little hint that he knows the game a little bit better than he pretends to ;)
