Gameplay / Re: Sun Temple glitch?
« on: March 21, 2011, 11:39:14 pm »
Are you sure you actually beat him? The first time I fought him I had him jump through a wall and get "stuck". He was close enough I could see him over there, doing slow circles as the game is not equipped to handle an entity that is off the map. But if he had jumped farther.... it would have looked like he disappeared, and I might have thought I had won. As it was I killed the game and restarted from my last save.

Anyway, it gets easier as you do it. Go out, gather supplies, return, try again.

Gameplay / Re: Aquaria Boss Strategies

You can hold down the control key to charge up a triple shot attack, then keep it held down indefinitely while you swim about. Once charged, and being held, it fires immediately upon release. Then you can lure him into swiping at you and just release the shot at the right time.

Also if you have not noticed, even single shots fire upon release of the control key, not when you press it, at least its that way on my Mac.

If you look real close at Naija when she is sleeping you will see her eyes are still open. Wait until she blinks, and you will see it. I assume its a limitation of the engine. So to prevent you from seeing that, she is programmed to cover her face.

My favorite is the evil laugh Naija has in energy form. And of course, the veil moment. You only get it once, you never get it again. Even on a replay, its just not the same. (But the memory is great).

My least favorite is how she accelerates when crossing from water to air. Sure I can see that if she is still kicking when crossing over, but if just coasting, speed should stay constant.

General / Re: why cant i play against the third form of the creator
« on: December 01, 2010, 06:28:13 pm »
Most consider the third form to be the bug. You just hunt it down and shoot it in the face. Eventually  it runs into the chamber to the right of the maze and you kill it there.

But you may mean the puppet form. You got to sing the three notes shown you in order, singing each after its ball appears but before it hits you. There are 2 methods:

Sit in the middle and be fast.
Swim to the top left and hide behind the thorn that's there and watch the balls get stuck against it. Sing the notes at your leisure.

Also there are some huggies in there somewhere. Get them first for the free healing.

Gameplay / Re: Help! I'm Stuck!
« on: November 04, 2010, 05:56:40 pm »
He is considered by many to be the hardest boss in the game. What I do:
Some sequences are easier than others, like those with notes right beside each other. If its not an easy sequence, abort it (fail on purpose) and start again.
You can start repeating the notes before he is done. If you sneak in the first 2 notes, then stop to watch what he adds, you only need do the last 6 in the short time remaining.
Try it several times, then stop and go do something else with your time, something not Aquaria. Sleep on it.  Then next day it will be easier.
He is not required to complete the game. The reward is a permanent third cooking slot. So you can just ignore him.

In that movie it looks like you are clicking sing over and over. What you need to do is just hold the button down.

Gameplay / Re: The Eleventh Face
« on: August 30, 2010, 07:35:18 pm »
Yea, in his walk through Aaron mis-quoted Mithala as saying Naija was the thirteenth, where he actually said that Naija was the daughter of the thirteenth, so Aaron got that last face wrong too. Or he was purposely giving dis-information so as to not spoil the ending and epilogue.

Now a related question: in the epilogue we see Lucien getting the story from the blue crystal and flying off, but we also see a woman sleeping, obviously not Naija, shes taller and thinner. Who's that? Did Naija and Li have two offspring?

Aaron Demner's walkthrough lists them as
"Nautilus Prime
Crabbius Maximus
Octopus Prime
the giant Turtle Momma
the Fallen God
the Arnassi
the Erulian
the Krotite
the Drunian
the guys from The Sun Temple
Mithala pre-corruption
a Mithalan
then..Naija?"

Gameplay / Re: Where's the Simon Says boss?
« on: August 26, 2010, 12:31:08 am »
I did it with my MacBook Pro trackpad, and a finger on the control button. That works fine for the entire game, but Simon drives me nuts! Using a mouse does not seem to make the matter easier, I just got to get a good sequence. I even abort sequences I see are going to be hard. And it never helps when in the middle of it Li and Naija start hugging. Get a room already!

One night I worked on him for 15 minutes until I had enough, and the next morning did it first try. I think that may be a method: The Simon Says game uses parts of our brain that get little use in the present world. Try the game, give your brain a night to process the new task, and its easier. Other times I did it in one sitting, after a zillion tries. I think it also helps if after you fail, you wait 10 seconds or so for the old pattern to flush out of your short term memory, so as to not confuse you when you try the new one.

Gameplay / Re: Help! I'm Stuck!
« on: August 25, 2010, 09:02:49 pm »
A good way to dodge the poison balls of form 2 is to swim along the wall, away from him. After the last one hits the wall, reverse course and shoot. The same trick works in the final Battle Cosmic, dodge toward him, and the energy balls impact his body.

Also in that battle, you can shoot the blue face with energy form while sitting above where the big beam appears, much safer. And as you can keep a stream of shots in flight, you do not need to get the timing right.

Gameplay / The amazing swimming rock!
« on: August 25, 2010, 06:45:24 pm »
Try this: find a snail which, in its crawling about, crawls on a rock. There is one in the energy temple and one in the veil. Wait until its on the rock, then bind the rock (make sure to position yourself so you do not bind the snail shell). Move the rock a bit, then release it.

And watch.

Modding / Continuous fire key?
« on: August 06, 2010, 07:56:40 pm »
One aspect of this game that gets to me is the need to keep pounding away to kill stuff. It sure would be nice if I could just hold down a key for continuous fire. It would have to be a different key than normal fire of course, as normal fire has a function for being held down.
I was able to sort of make this work using a computer automator called "Quickeys" but the fire rate was slow compared to what you can get manually.

Is it possible to make a mod that gives this function to the game?
