shut up faggot your dog shit game is about to turbo mogged by e33

It's better you don't enter act 3. Just finish Act 2 and remember it as a good game.

>>720627332
the fights are fun as fuck though

I 100%'d it without looking anything up. I'm sure you can at least get to the next major act by yourself, anon. I believe in you.

>>720627363
lol. lmao even.

>>720627332
Don't get this mentality. The boss fights were fun and it was fun figuring out where all four of the hearts were.

>>720627387
ok ok, mr pirate software

Can't you just let a program do all of the inputs necessary for a 100% for you? Just like open Auto Hotkey and chill back.... That's the problem with 2D dogshit.

>>720627387
had to look up a guide for the nectar and the soul snare because i didn't check one dark spot in the area my bad guys fuck these devs

Imagine looking up guides for video games lmao, what a total retard someone has to be to not figure out a video game.

Enemy AI has randomness to it. You're a dumbass. The argument you're trying to make has nothing to do with 2D vs 3D. You sound like a 20 year old retard that barely plays any games outside of some modern 3D slop.

This was the big "How was I supposed to know?" for me

>>720627450
Some of the bosses are fun, some less so, and many of the runbacks are awful. Then there's the absurd hp buff to regular enemies because the void shit. I dunno, it just hasn't been that fun. I'm feeling all the frustrating features more, even the little things like being able to buy and use multiple goods as once. High points like Seth just aren't making up for the rest of this shit.

It turned out I've done everything needed to trigger act 3, except talking to the flea caravan master, without consulting any guides.
Why is that fucking flea caravan even related to the main story, when it's basically a copy of the grub quest from the first game? That one wasn't related to anything.

>>720627562
Eva puts the snare on your map if you go down and talk to it.

>>720627696
Eva puts it on your map

>>720627830
not that anon but she didn't put it on mine? even when i checked the guide and back to my map there was no marking there whatsoever. even trying to get her to repeat where it was didnt work

At act 3 that coral tower and that unnecessary 10 second animation and playing that song is starting to piss me off

>>720627696
She literally tells you that it was where the weave structure met green
Like, it's 3 rooms the whole place it's easy to find by just looking around

>>720626908 (OP)
When I was trying to get into act 3 the guides couldn't even help me. I decided to hoard the relics so I could track my progress but you actually had to give them to the historian in Bellhart to become a resident. Game fucked me over and all the retards in the threads when I was asking for help ofc were telling me to explore more or to git gud.

>>720628150
wait until you do one of the other ones and you get that + possibly the worst runback in the game

>>720626908 (OP)
truth nuke

>>720627739
The path to opening act 3 is about Hornet's intentions and motivations. The "bad" end comes about from Hornet simply seeking revenge for capture and freedom from pursuit, without a care for the land of Pharloom. The stuff you do to open the possibility of act 3 is about Hornet developing a desire to save Pharloom, not just seek vengeance. It backfires of course, but that's more on the snails. This is why all the side missions are called "wishes" rather than quests/missions or any other term games tend to use.

Also, it's because they wanted the flea minigames in act 3 so they gated act 3 behind a certain level of progression

>>720626908 (OP)
I actually explored the whole map so I didn't have to google it. Don't play a Metroidvania if you are not going to explore.

>>720629403
For such an expansive map, the game very noticeably suffers from a lack of an NPC guide that the player can turn to for suggestions or points of interest. This is doubly important given how many secret walls and paths there are, with pretty substantial rewards behind them. As things stand, I hope you're observant enough to find the secrets and keep track of the myriad of NPCs that you might need to turn to in the future. Game would have also have been better off ending with act 2. It overstays its welcome with act 3.

>>720629567
i did explore the whole map you retarded faggot, i was enjoying the game until it became a slog to get into act 3, stupid fuck

>>720626908 (OP)
>literally gone to check on town after first ending
>get quest
wow, that was hard

>>720626908 (OP)
Felt the same, when I saw rings hanging but couldn't use them because I lacked the ability or item without having a clue where to get it, my first thought was to look it up.
That's the point where I realized the game had failed me.
To quote a review, it felt more tiring than engaging.

>>720630923
>play metroidvania
>first thing that comes to mind is not "i will mark it on the map for when I have this upgrade" but to look it up
not the genre for you
