But you can always start with La-Mulana 2 first because its puzzles are much easier and you'll start getting into some serious INT checks once you'll start looking for a way to Underworld which is like 3/4 into the game.
Meanwhile La-Mulana 1 stops using lube the moment you reach Eden and it's not even past the first half of the game.
