Noita stevari2/18/2024 ![]() For a goal state to be reached the player needs to make a valid, locally optimal sequence of moves. Often there's a goal condition and Noita is no different. All else was tangential.Ī "game" consists of a structured, well defined rule set within which the players maneouvre themselves. The developers had the know-how how to make a marvelous piece of tech like this, and wanted to turn it into a game. The latter it pretends to be at times, but I'm almost certain Noita just uses it as an excuse to exist. In fact, it is so bad it's almost satire. It demands you figure shit out yourself, rather than conveying some kind of sensible rule space.įrom all games that I recall playing, which must be thousands by now, Noita is one of the worst designs I've ever come across. Noita is a game created by programmers, for programmers it demands you break the game. But as programmers, as creators - not as game designers. it's pretty incredible and comfortably secures Nolla games a place in the realm of god-like game developers for years to come. The physics, fluid dynamics, ragdolls, real-time destructible terrain the size of a huge map. ![]() Noita is one of those games indie developers can only dream of achieving being incredibly well made from a technical point of view. Granted, it does take half an hour to an hour to do the above, which sucks if you get unlucky and die to something shortly thereafter.Title got you riled up? Good, because contrary to what it would have you believe I do not think Noita is a bad experience or product, in fact - not at all. it makes everything that follows MUCH easier without being game breaking. Having done the above you start with a good wand that can one-shot most starting enemies, higher max HP and the ability to dig through any material in the game (earth stone + evil eye). (several minutes)ġ1) Earth stone away the eastern wall of the submerged tank.ġ2) Throw one of the tablets you've got at this point to create a portal in the Hut above the tank.ġ3) Portal into the tank, then immediately run out the east side to avoid the spawned enemy.ġ5) Drop back into the tank and grab the Experimental Wand plus the other valuables.ġ6) Make your way back to the starting location and play as you would a normal game. Take Perk.Ħ) Carefully travel back to the desert essence eater and remove the Perk for earth stone.ħ) Travel back over the mountain and use your new Quake Kick to damage the tree enough to get over it.ġ0) Use the evil eye to boil away the upper portion of the Lake until the eastern side of the submerged tank is exposed. Store tablet in mine entrance for later.Ĥ) Journey over moutain to eastern desert, grab stuff on Pyramid.ĥ) Keep heading east until ?, dig out the perk with the explosives. ![]() AFAIK the trigger for spawning Skoude is killing 3 Stevari, so if you can avoid killing them, you can in principle go on as usual.Ģ) Use explosive to get on top of mountain.ģ) Grab stuff above mountain. That means you won't face a Skoude until very late in the game where you'll definitely have a way to win.Īlso: I guess it would be possible to lure the Stevari out of the HM so you don't have to kill him. If you're not so unlucky the gods are angered for you, you can also just wait until the 4th HM or so to actually start breaking stuff. because a worm dug into the HM) you have 3 HMs (and thus, 4 areas) to prepare usually that's enough to get something that can take down even a tough enemy like Skoude quick enough to survive (if not, you'll be having a tough time with the regular enemies at that point anyway) Even if you're forced to face a Stevari on the first HM (e.g. If that doesn't pan out, the next go to becomes finding a way to defeat Skoude. Any Teleporter Bolt, Teleportatium, Polymorphine or any trigger spell with Return on it works. Finding a way to exit HMs without angering the gods is the first go-to. Yeah, you'll probably want to wait a few HMs before breaking the walls.
