First, the beret made me laugh. Emi is my favorite character so far because she is adorable and I love the French language as I spent three years between high school and college learning it. Second, I feel incredibly stupid for how badly the Sinus Transmit room had me stumped. I guessed right how to clear it after I got in there the first time but didn't have my angle right. Thanks for the guide.
Awesome job on these guides as always, mate. They're so clear and straightforward, even someone inept as I am at puzzles can get through the hard parts!
This entire temple was just me saying "WELP, I'M AN IDIOT" over and over... idk why I found it so much harder than Sol'Najiz... thank you very much for the walkthrough.
Really? I thought this one was wayyyy easier than the Sol'najiz. I had to re-do the Sol'najiz boss 3~4 times. For this one, I could do it first try. You had to stand on the switches to kill that starfish-blob thing... it was so annoying. THis one was so much more straightforward. The mini-mobs in the Sol'najiz were annoying as hell, too... the magnet things and stingray things were extraordinarily annoying.
@@rhiannn3416 I had to redo the lighting boss 10 times because he nukes nonstop and doesn't even give you a second to breath to or any time to experiment with different angle shots. In the end, had to look at this video.
@@johnnyslokes2712 you mean the dungeons? nah dude, the puzzles are really good imho (except for this one as the outlier). they gradually introduce you to the mechanics needed to solve each puzzle and have a nice learning curve imho. definitely some of the better puzzles out there in gaming.
When i saw 11:33 i was like NOPE and decided to look this video up. I would love to reccomend this game a lot to people but these puzzles are aggravating. Far from being a bad game though.
I couldn't figure this one out until I noticed the lines they draw on the floor, they pretty much tell you where to guide the balls. Unfortunately I ended up having to look at this guide because I didn't realize you needed to hit both at the same time...
Theh, I was just trying out the possibilities since i'm starting out with editing. And figured giving her a beret because she likes to throw in french here and there :p
@@TheZalguam She does speak French, but that doesn't mean she likes berets. She didn't give her avatar one. I was confused when I saw that, then I thought you were making fune of her for speaking French until I read your reply.
everyone is here for the puzzle and I'm just here for the gauntlet at 19:00. was stuck on the last two dudes for quite a while, didn't have that level 2 melee move. thankfully I had some CP to get it and bam super easy
Thanks ! And just let me say thanks in advance for the next two dungeons as well because if it wasn’t for this guide I wouldn’t of never figured these shits out !
How is anyone supposed to know where to shoot the wave balls when you're aiming them into the shock boxes? It makes no sense and isn't consistent at all. Like @3:30 you shot up, the wave went down, and you shot down, the wave went up. So confusing.
so i thought you could only hit the wave ball with a wave shot, which wasn't a problem until the second key puzzle where i was meticulously trying to aim a shot through the wave shot transformer for like an hour until i gave up and came here. now i feel very dumb.
To kill the enemies that shock you very very quickly, when they are charging up their shock use one of the warps. They will be confused as to where you went and you can break them with one hit while they are flashing red.
I dont understand these wave ball electric box puzzles at all. I get that it has something to do withe purple lines but it seems to not make any sense in practice.
For anyone wondering. The wave ball thingies go in the direction perpendicular to the wall you hit it with. Once you understand that it becomes rather trivial.
@@SondreGrneng Even after you figure it out, it's still bad. Crosscode did so many things right, the graphics, the music, the combat but most of the puzzles are bad and almost ruin the game and because of that, I can't recommend it to anyone. My roommate actually loves puzzles but he wouldn't touch this game. Without the puzzles, this game is like a 9/10 instant classic but with them, I cannot recommend this game to anyone
Very rarely does this game get unfair/bullshit “difficulty” spikes out of nowhere I have spent 9 HOURS ON THE FUCKING GAUNTLET. Still at it. This game was like 8.5/9.0 out of 10, (mainly because I was using a guide for the puzzles) but I’ve literally dropped it to a 1. Bullshit gauntlet. I’ve 100% completed ghosts n goblins on NES and that is nothing compared to this shit. Bravo devs, you somehow ruined potentially one of my favourite games that I’d probably revisit if it wasn’t for this Edit: The gauntlet is the rush of enemies right at the end before you get the wave element. Also, I spent a hours and hours of time grinding and I have finally beaten this. I still maintain the difficulty spikes in this game are completely unfair.
Hey I got to say that hat that you always put on the girl character Emilia I thought there was something wrong with my game I didn't understand why it wasn't showing up on mine I thought you just had a different version but I just realized that you added it in😒😅😅
you can use your clone from the wave skills to stop his zigzag attack, but in stage 3 he will have 5 hits so you will get hit in the last 1 or 2 times of his combo.
21:45 even KNOWING what to do, I’m not fast and accurate enough to do it on a ps4 controller. So frustrating. I don’t mind puzzles, but these quick-time puzzles, my brain just cannot do without 50 tries and I just don’t have that patience.
@@gamerprince-tl5hg no im not. many people have problems with the temples in the game and many people doesnt even finish the game. so just shut up i dont know what you talking about.
I've said this plenty of times and it's true for every game in this genre. More action, less puzzles, action is fun, puzzles are not. If Crosscode was more hack and slash, it would be considered one of the best action RPGs ever made but the developers thought that puzzles were good so now I can't recommend this game to anyone
It's less boring to me and more tedious/aggravating. There's just too many puzzles, even outside of dungeons, which makes exploration feel like a slog. Portal never got like that for me, and got a lot of mileage out of the portal mechanic. That game actually had clever solutions to puzzles and didn't feel like you need to constantly be precise or have great reaction time. CrossCode relies too heavily on Balls for puzzles and most of them boil down to either be super precise to hit a switch, or having to do something really fast because this game loves timers. It's a shame really because this game is excellent on pretty much everything else. I was even fine with the really slow story pacing because the game has great characters, writing, combat, and an interesting concept. By the time the story started picking up, I was already losing interest in the game. The constant barrage of puzzles and annoying exploration where you have to find the correct spot to jump up on, 3 screens back, is exhausting.
@@bumduckegypt2110 The beginning of the game literally tells you "hey this game has challenge in combat and puzzles but you can tweak these settings in the options" so the timed puzzles really shouldn't be much of an issue if you just do that. And honestly I've gotten through most of the game and am about to enter the finale and haven't used any adjustments. It's mostly just getting the timing right. The balls for puzzles thing is something I can agree with though. I think some of them require you to be way too precise. Some hints for those puzzles was very much needed. As for the exploration puzzles, they're fine when the solution to them are in the same room. but when they start requiring you to jump to certain spots from 3 rooms back like you said, then yeah those are simply not well designed. They all should've been self-contained puzzles instead.
Ya, phucking phuck this game and phuck whoever made this piece of $hit.i just deleted my download to make sure I never go back to this game or play it again.people were starving for the next good RPG,so they put this p.o.s up on a pedestal.i've been trying to beat the boss on this vid since last night,it's a bull$hit fight,he doesn't even give you a second to aim, breathe,do whatever,oh,and he regenerates his health?.so I'm not mad,I just calmly told myself phuck it and deleted this software
@@samuraichamploo07 just beat the boss first try, get the wave throw art "fae round" which is a single shot you can use to stack up hits on him to eventually break him, another way of getting hits in is shooting after one of his dash attacks, he has some down time. dont bother with trying to shoot him any other time because you'll elemental overload. after he breaks charge up an orb and aim it at the middle flat wall for this first two phases of his health bar, the last phase aim it down towards the out of place diagonal wall, it will bounce and hit him. after that use spirit blast melee art to get his health down super fast when hes in his damageable mode.
samurai_07 i wouldn’t be able to as i haven’t finished the game, but if you’re really having issues, a guarantee is to go back into gaias garden, grind for some levels by killing those high level sloths, i was slightly over levelled (level 45) because i did the shock dungeon before this one, collect more plant items and monster items, go to basin keep and get some equipment that is at least averaging level 42. If you arent getting enough xp from monsters complete some side quests and youll get at least 1 extra level. Make sure you’ve done your circuits for the wave ability completely too because they can really help with your damage output. Regardless, I love this game and I hope i can help you get back into it because it is amazing, bosses can be difficult and this game is already challenging. P.S. if you REALLY cannot do it, in settings, the last tab has a handicap for damage and attack frequency, you can change these at any time and that will 100% be enough to beat the boss
Yeah. The devs were definitely smelling their own farts when it came to the puzzles. Most of them are the kind you find in optional challenge dungeons, way to annoying with all the pixel perfect timed nonsense. But the story and the characters and environments are so great that I want to keep going despite the horrible puzzles.
@@Eener1000 Definitely not pixel perfect. I haven't tweaked any of the settings at all and I solved various timed puzzles while making multiple mistakes in them without having to restart the whole thing.
No, the puzzles DO ruin the game. Without the puzzles, best action RPG ever. With the puzzles, I can't even recommend this game to anyone because it sucks all the fun out of the game
This game has amazing 2D art, excellent music and could be the best action RPG ever made except that Crosscode has horrendous gameplay.. its mostly the awful puzzles, but the barriers, shields.. this game shoots itself in the foot a lot when it comes to gameplay. If it were more hack and slash and less use your brain it would be the best action RPG ever made. More action, less puzzle, action is fun, puzzles are not
@qqutc No it wouldn't, it was clearly the best part of the game. The puzzles were awful and most people agree, you are the minority. You aren't being honest when you say action is boring and honestly, I don't even think you played the game or you wouldn't have even made that comment or you're just infected with "wrongthink" which is pretty common in America.
Because i'm in the process of learning how to edit, so I was trying out a few things. Since she throws a french word here and there I figured giving her a beret. :)

I still don't get it even with the arrows the wave ball just makes no sense to me so I almost quit the game.
Thanks for this. I couldn't think in the direction this game wanted me to.
Throwing a beret on Emilie was a fantastic touch

Yea i watch this video because i want to win the race in my 1st playthrough
