While I play through the game, I will record all of it and put it on YouTube. Even though I get lost sometimes, it should give a general idea of what to do and how to do certain things. When a video is supped it means I'm just traveling or looking around, without reaching much.
I tagged the videos with different colors.
Red features a (mini/optional) boss
Yellow features a new form
Green features an Ancient Turtle, and thus a warp point
Orange features a pet, which you can find four in the game, but most of the times it requires a certain form.
I'll try to do a new video every few days, but don't get your hopes up. I'm busy with things that are called school, work, sleeping, eating, taking a shower (only once a month, but it takes a while when you're dirty), gaining weight, losing weight and whatnot. I'll update this thread when I added new material, but feel free to subscribe to my YouTube page if you want to be informed whenever I did something new.

I only watched Mithalas Cathedral pt. VI. Maybe you should only upload vids where you know what to do. A walkthrough should help people, but your strategy for fighting the boss won't kill him, doesn't matter how hard you try. And you swam past a pretty good healing item without picking it up. Is it a speedrun-walkthrough?
Otherwise, you did a lot of work and I like the idea! So keep it on but maybe with a bit more accuracy. :) And welcome to the forums!
-
I think the bosses are the only thing you really could use a video for.
-
wow thx a lot for this walkthrough. this game is awesome but can get frustrating.
-
what are you using to record? I tried a few things, but they made terrible videos and didn't capture sound.

Fraps.

Just defeated the second boss. It gave an adrenaline rush ;)

Hmm...why did you go into energy form at all while dodging those balls of light? It's not like your shots hurt him. Plus he automatically backs away when he summons a minion, so no need to keep him pushed back. Really it's much easier if you just stay in your base form and use shield song occasionally (keyboard shortcut 9, in case you didn't know). In fact, you only ever need energy form to force him to suck in the froggy. Also you might have wanted to use an energy form shot +1 food if you had any. It would make the fight shorter and the less time you have to spend recording the better I think.
-
Nah, he doesn't go backwards after creating a minion. I always had to push him back.
BTW Grawl, GJ IMO. (I've finished the game so I don't need to watch it...but its a good idea). And that minimap bug is a crackup. ;)

If you wait too long he'll come back. To avoid that, I shoot him so he stays back while I wait for the merman to transform and while I bind it.

Added three new videos:
23. Ancient Sea Turtles & Nautilus Pet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIC7otX9qSo)
24. Heading for the Nature Form (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G1Rj5HuJtM)
25. Nature Form (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk53P2EyBV4) (Boss)
Having a goal rocks, right?
-
I like your method of defeating the nautilus. I didn't think to use a rock. Of course I had far less trouble with the fireballs so much as the mininautiluses.
-
Added a video for the Fish Form (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq-uRgYzGnc). I also updated the first post to make it more clear what each video contains (nothing, boss, turtle, form and/or pet.
-
Very nice vids! Keep going the good work man, they really helped me some times! :)
-
Wow, don't know if I found out how to beat the boss in the body without these videos :)
-
I did do a new video (link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3062FhVnu8)), but it's not worth much. I can't defeat the Priests as it is right now, so I'm going for the Piranha Pet. Next time I'll defeat that boss and get my second pet. Or suck at the game. Keep tuned either way.
-
Does anybody have a video of the two endings?

Spoiler: The one without all the memories is included in the one with all the memories, you don't have to see both.

very nice topic Grawl ;).

hmm
I didn't see the intro movie in my game xD
I probably missed it...
was the one who fell from the sky.....the "boy"?

You can watch it again if you click on the blue crystal on the intro screen.
Yes, it was the boy.

Gained the Piranha Pet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRwn2UOnXOs). It's cheap, but it works.
-
So that's the spot everybody has been talking about? My spot is slower...but you NEVER get hit. Period. It's at the very bottom just to the left of the spiked vines. I'd take a screenshot, but it's late.

Heh... I tried that spot after you said that, since I had to use food to survive that boss. (food makes every boss possible) but I did get hit once near the end. It's also really hard to hit him. You only get a few shots at him each time he comes at you, before he gets above you and you can't shoot around to the top.
I was REALLY wishing for video walkthroughs on the other bosses when I played through the game. :S The last boss really confounded me. and the Jellyfish King was a pain too. I couldn't eat enough of his little minions and avoid running into the laser. I think it's because I kept grabbing onto the sides by accident and alternately going too fast/slow. The golem... was really hard to avoid his attacks. I TRIED to stay low so he would charge, but I got hit most of the time, and just ate food. :S Was really annoying when I would miss with the jellyfish shot. I did that a LOT.

really o.O
I thought the jelly one was easy xD coz I was always in beast form (I used spicy soup for it...)
also I ate hot soup so I can swim faster
The golem er....I usually stay low, so he rushes into me instead of jumping towards me
when he rushes I swim up so I don't get hurt :D
-
For me the hardest part of the golem was actually after it was vulnerable, because then both of them were attacking me, whereas before I could just wait, get better at avoiding attacks and hitting with the beast-form shot, and eat food if I got hit.
On the last boss I died a few times on the second form but stockpiled a bunch of food and toughed it out. The last form was comparatively easy.
-
Thanks for the great walkthrough. It helped me a lot. Btw, I've started playing Aquaria only recently and I'm enjoying every second of it.

hmm..apparently all the videos are gone

Yes, I am replaying the game and was looking at this since I am stuck with the Cathedral boss just now, and it appears that 'This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been closed. '
