9 Years of Shadows – 13 – flamme

by



lots of second guessing myself leading to being rewarded for it, thus making sure I keep playing this way

this upgrade is really fun and silly

  4. I really like the phoenix hover upgrade for the Helios Armor, I just think it's a shame that it kinda puts the nail in the coffin for the drill kick move which went super underutilized, and has now been completely replaced by a much easier way to ascend. I also constantly had trouble (right up until the end of the game) mentally handling the idea that you come out of serpent tunnels in your hover state.

    The Shadow of Demise boss is also really cool, and can really melt if you spam Apino's projectile attacks while hitting it with your halberd (I managed to kill it in 2 cycles this way after dying and having to refight it). It's a cool way to get extra damage in on all the big bosses, provided you're good enough to consistently hit the timing minigame that happens when you run out of light bar.

  11. Man, I really should wait until the end of the video to start commenting. Wrote up a comment about what it looked like the boss mechanics were right before raocow figured it out lol
    Theory time: Apino's a ghost, right? Like, it's been stated several times. My theory is that Apino is the ghost of the child of the spirit lady and Talos.

  12. It's best to think of "transformation" as a lasting state. You're just mermaid/serpent/bird until you choose otherwise, and automatically adapt which specifically.

  13. don't quote me on it, but I think the fire form does double damage with it's attacks. Some reason all the numbers seem like there's two right on top of each other for every instance of damage being done. Might be a display bug, but it doesn't happen at all with any other armor type

    Edit: nvm, that only seems to do that in heated areas

  14. Death count: 6 (1 today)
    (0:46) Phoenix Form get!
    (1:48) It's really nice that the attack button works for this interesting new mechanic.
    (4:17) Now I'm reminded of certain aspects of The Messenger. Neat.
    (5:08) Poke. You stopped gliding too soon.
    (5:20) Ow. Should've destroyed that enemy first.
    (7:22) Being able to generate explosions around you FTW.
    (9:49) Firewalls surrounding waterfalls is certainly unique.
    (9:58) Dood, you're missing 1 HP, so please use the save point now.
    (10:28) Yoga Flame!
    (10:31) Yeah, and you can still do that. It's still pretty close by.
    (10:40) This enemy is experiencing the harsh reality that turning around is the hardest thing to do in some video games. 😛
    (11:25) Game saved, all healed, everything is good.
    (12:13) Meteorain!
    (13:43) Awesome, another helmet!
    (14:10) Your light bar was one-shot by the fireball at 13:57. It does seem weird how a lot of things just remove your entire light bar in one hit in this game.
    (16:45) Hey there, Shadow of Demise. How's it going? …For boss time!
    (16:58) Ah, you explode near the meteorites to turn them into full-on fireballs that strike the boss.
    (17:16) Finished the hug just in time.
    (19:08) What are you doing? You're gonna die! …You didn't die somehow… The boss's head was really generous to not kill you when you moved into it while hugging.
    (19:28) Aw, if you didn't stumble on the hugging, you would've been okay there.
    (19:31) And, if you don't shoot the crystal… BURN TO THE GROUND!!! First death today.
    (19:55) Huh, this room isn't in "raining meteorite" mode anymore.
    (20:09) Alright, it's rematch time!
    (20:27) Oh, you just noticed that now?
    (23:38) Victory!
    (23:57) Fang of Belial get!
