Added 2023-08-20 14:00:06 +0000 UTCYou've never seen a snowfield this consecrated before. I guarantee it.

I came here to mention this. It was absolutely adorable, and a little reminder that this is a world that exists outside of our character and their interactions with it. Very cool to just observe things in games - the wolves somewhat reminded me of the way Breath of the Wild’s dragons were introduced in that game; a glimpse of something higher and more natural, unrelated to us as a player and our quest etc.

2024-05-17 17:38:23 +0000 UTCYeah I have an (irrational?) fondness for it too. I think its because it's the most northern point of the game's main landmass. There's a remote, ethereal beauty to it. I feel the same way about the Misbegotten boss arena at Castle Morne for southern reasons.

2023-08-27 23:40:51 +0000 UTCI'm fond of the Apostate Derelict. A small quiet church at the far corner of the snowfield, surrounded by spirit jellyfish & lilies, with great importance to a Journey. It's almost quaint. I've always wondered what exactly made it apostate.

I thought “maybe make them fight each other, maybe thats what the statues are trying to show??? There’s no way tho” and then it working. One of the best moments of the game for me because I did not look it up.

2023-08-21 18:52:11 +0000 UTCNot sure if this got mentioned, but somewhere near the center of this map there is a pack of wolves chasing around the glowing trail of one of those invisible scarabs. The animation really sells that they are playing and it's so so charming. It's pretty sad when they notice you and immediately feel threatened. Just a great little one-of-a-kind moment in a huge game that surprised me on a recent playthrough.

2023-08-21 18:01:10 +0000 UTCThe Sentry's Torch still works while on your back while two-handing a weapon... so while a shield really isn't an option against the Black Knives, you can still maximize damage.

2023-08-21 17:02:49 +0000 UTCI was similarly frustrated with the town puzzle on my third playthrough as a faith build. Ended up using Assassin’s Approach combined with hidden form to try and sneak by, but the Albinauric archers gave sight akin to Superman or Predator, it seems.

2023-08-21 16:20:32 +0000 UTCInteresting to learn people consider liturgical town a hard stop. My pro tip is RUN! And get on building. Boom, black knives cucked

2023-08-21 04:53:31 +0000 UTCLastly you can make the giant octopus fight theodorax and it actually puts up a really good fight. Shocked me, but a useful ally.

2023-08-21 04:52:27 +0000 UTCSo… at the Alburnaric Rise, I think the goal is to make imps fight. With summons or, as I did it, with crystal darts. Crystal darts work on the imps and cause them to go insane, and there’s 2 imps behind the rise to make them fight each other which is how I opened the rise!
