What am I in for? Anything I should know ahead of time?

You are going to die 200+ times before you even marginally understand what is happening on the screen but if you aren't the type of person who gets mad about dying in games you'll have a magical time discovering all the insanity that is possible

It's usually very hard to win on your first 50 tries.

>>714009563 (OP)
Keep trying until you find a wand with a lightning bolt..

you either cheese the game or you're wasting your time with shitty seeds and builds

>Anything I should know ahead of time?
don't spend too much time exploring the first area, farm like 300 gold and go straight to the first portal, see if they have a teleport bolt and use it. it's one of the most important spells that will make your playthrough at least 50% easier

I went left instead of right, found an under water tunnel and this glowing green book thing. But I drowned trying to get back out.

At first I suggest taking things very slow, collect all the things you can find. Learn what spell wrapping is and be prepared to always on fire because you touched the wrong pixel.

Play SLOW
try to escape the temple via teleportation or polymorh
don't run away into unexplored territory
run away
hiisi can't shoot directly up or down, except for snipers
find a way to deal with fire quickly

enjoy

if you put a multicast mod + chainsaw in the last two slots of a spell it turns your wand into a machine gun.

Also install the megumin skin mod

It's a literal tech demo and not an actual game. Don't bother and refund it before you waste any time.

>>714009563 (OP)
>Anything I should know ahead of time?
Yeah. Once you get sick of being restricted to experimenting with wands inside the temple areas, you can go find and install the 'edit wands anywhere' mod, and have a much more fun and less tedious experience.

>not an actual game
are you thinking of the falling sand game made by the same guys? because that is true
noita is an actual game with gameplay and mechanics and lots of objectives including multiple different endings, and a bunch of side areas

fluids are more significant than you might expect

>>714009563 (OP)
Pain and suffering but also one of the best magic systems out there.
Consider installing mods to enhance and customize your experience, vanilla noita is more than a little unforgiving.

How do I use spells? I found a pyramid and at the top I got this orb that gave me an earthquake spell but I can't figure out how to cast it.

>>714014860
This. Limiting wand editing to temples was a mistake.

Edit Wand Everywhere mod is tolerable until your fist win
Gold is Forever mod is, for me, a logical choice
Any skin is okay

>>714016727
you put it in a wand with enough mana to cast it

I ran all the way to the end of the map and found something but I can't get to it because I don't have any bombs. :(

>>714017664
well you know what to do now

>>714017664
That's not really an upgrade, it's more of the opposite and used as a tool in one of the "questlines." Try grabbing it when you've come a bit further and at least got a teleport bolt wand.

Is there any way to get health back? So much random fire everywhere and I accidentally touch it a few times and I'm just dead.

>>714021668
There are a ton of ways to heal but do you really want to learn by wiki? Wouldn't you rather discover it for yourself?

>>714021837
That's fine I'm having fun exploring was just wondering if there was some basic mechanic I was missing. Like the eating thing I didn't realize I could do until I found the controls menu.

>>714009563 (OP)
Learn to dig.
Learn what wand wrapping is.
Find peace in your inevitable unavoidable random death...in Noita.

>>714021940
observe everything, and if you"re wondering "wait what if?" try it. they thought about everything except coal filtering the toxic sludge bur whatever

>>714009563 (OP)
I've got about 800 runs and 3 wins, about 50 of those would have been winable if I stopped being a greedy bastard and going back up the mountain to try and get better wands from the area under the watchtower

Host?

>>714021668
Spell wise you want any of these, they're hard to find though. Tier 3 spells.
>>714023461
I'm up for a round or two.
