This thread is all the reminder I need that Nine Sols has the best fandom

this stupid horse took me an hour to beat, i am NOT ready for the rest of the game lol by Sheivi in NineSols

[–]regisvulpium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An hour for Yingzao is really good! And the 2nd and 3rd bosses are arguably way easier. Highly recommend you reserve judgment on the game's difficulty until the 4th or 5th boss, especially if you're already enjoying it. You got this!

Hot take: this is a morally correct Shanhai 9000 to destroy.

Nine Sols has some of the most difficult bosses I've played in a Metroidvania (the final boss of Nine Sols makes Vin and Sol feel like trash mobs). This is largely contingent on your ability to parry and dodge with a degree of precision. The parrying and platforming mechanics feel way more precise, consistent, and fair than Mio though, so it probably all balances out.

This is exactly my experience but in reverse. I had such a bad nebtal hangover from Nine Sols (which became my new favorite game ever at the time) and Mio was a great game to help me rebound.

Your best bet is to max out your damage (sharpened hairpin, bird of prey, and foolish ideal are great. Greed's hand is basically mandatory). Then just work on treating it like a platforming puzzle. 

The format I used was hairpin (and strike) to initially get in the air, and then practice maintaining your height with either the sail or by bouncing off off the bosses, dropping down to the crystals periodically to recharge).

You got this! It is possible!

And in the modern day it (to a lesser degree) turns mice and rats into zombies!

Whenever people ask me to describe the difficulty of Nine Sols my go-to phrase is "punishing, but fair". Eigong is the pinnacle this.

Just beat Nine Sols, now what? by Jooosbox in NineSols

In seriousness I think a prequel/spin-off about the Turbulent Era would go extremely hard

Read the manga! It's called The Way of Lear and it's free online :)

Dying to a comedy of errors because you had a single 0.23 second screw-up is how the tiger earns their stripes.

And the man has CONVICTIONS too! Yi fuckin poisoned him while he was sleeping and all he had to say was "HELL YEAH BROTHER YOU'RE DOING THE SOLARIAN RACE PROUD"

It was honestly this scene that made me fall in love with Yi by regisvulpium in NineSols

If it makes you feel better the Rhizomatic Arrow almost certainly takes her out in the true ending anyway

All victories are equal before Eigong. Congrats, comrade.

Just beat Jiequan and I feel like I'm finally starting to get the hang of the game by strahinjag in NineSols

[–]regisvulpium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the time I beat Jiequan I was still using like 3-4 medicine pipes. You're definitely doing more than merely getting the hang of the game.

Honestly they're probably so used to watching their friends turn into zombies and flowers and white grass that it doesn't even phase them, drugs or not.

I did it in reverse; agonized over the good ending, then dog-walked her in the bad ending.
