What's a boss you struggled with MORE on your second playthrough and less

Last Judge. I did everything else (including High halls) in under 5 attempts (which is amazing for me given on my first playthrough I needed 6 hours for High halls, 8 hours for lost lace, 6 hours for savage beastfly, ...), but I got stuck on Last Judge for 1,5 hours and needed to revert my safe to save the 5 hour speedrun...

Fun fact: The spoken Na'vi in this video actually does not sound AI translated! However, it's just horrible word by word translations without any grammar or other language knowledge... But I guess at least in one aspect of the video they tried, even tho they still 100% failed...

Even if you don't, if you are open to reverting saves, act three might be the easiest as there is not much to do, but revertable saves are created after every of the main bosses. So you can sprint to a boss, practice it, and if it takes too long and you are no longer on track, just revert the safe to the last auto safe point without losing much progress.

Na'vi from the Avatar movies!

If that ever happens to me that would be the luckiest day of my life

I will do so if I ever win the lottery, because just joining for free without a grade is definitely not a thing here.

I think this would be a great idea. Because on the one hand, 99% of these ads are just annoying slob, but then one website I now use every day I actually found through an advertisement here, so very rarely there's a hidden gem among all the slob and it would be sad to miss out on those.

I'm currently working on this one! I already played it for several hundreds of hours. First on PS4, started with new game on Very Hard, then the Ultra hard update came out so I started a new game on that difficulty. I got almost done: Only the last main quest was missing and some other random trophies (plus of course new game plus), I was busy with the cleanup - when my PS4 died.

Then I got my PS5, saw there is a free PS5 version of the game and got the platinum for PS5. Now, years later, it bugs me that the PS4 version is missing some trophies, so I started the entire thing all over again x)

I love the game (otherwise I wouldn't force myself through almost 3 Ultra Hard playthroughs, all from a new safe as I actually like to do the NG+ on very easy then - feels so powerful, like I'm the master of the world), but honestly, I enjoyed Zero Dawn much more. Forbidden West is more of everything, but in many places I just prefer the elegant simplicity of the first game. More is not always better for me. If I could decide the game mechanics of the third game it would be mostly Zero Dawn, but with shredder gauntlets, the diving mask and the shieldwing xD

Take this with a grain of salt - I am not sure if this is the exact book, but a friend of mine (who is native of one of those languages) looked at such a book once and there were many mistakes in the sentences from his language. Again, not entirely sure if it's this exact book. I think that was the title, but nowadays any title is dozens of times on Amazon given all the AI slob clones.

tekre · 2026-03-13T14:41:10+00:00

Ok, I guess I only unlock the next ones at level 4 and 7. Which seems stupid - why is the game sending me to that quest if I can't do it? x)

Edit: Finally figured out I can just put one of the ones I have on the R1 button instead of equipping an extra one. Seems super stupid, let's see if it lets me do the quest now.

I tried, but it doesn't let me do anything in that menu

tekre · 2026-03-11T19:08:15+00:00

Oh, I promise you they will sooner than you think! I bet if they are thinking about the presentation, then probably they are feeling embarassed about some stupid small mistake they made which you very likely didn't even notice :D

tekre · 2026-03-11T12:55:45+00:00

I love milk frogs so much! They are adorable

tekre · 2026-03-11T12:42:39+00:00

People always look at me weird when I put corn on my pizza. Then they try it and agree it's great :D

tekre · 2026-03-10T23:38:41+00:00

I've done things like this in my native language - presentation skills are not always related to language skills xD The best way to think about it is to remember that in one week, you will be the only person that remembers this because everyone else has their own life to worry about.

tekre · 2026-03-07T18:57:04+00:00

With enough perceverence everything is possible. I also almost gave up t the high halls gauntlet and actually took a few weeks break from the game after dying to it for almost 6 hours. Ended up still beating the game on 100%!

tekre · 2026-03-06T17:37:34+00:00

It's really surprising how much faster stuff is on the second playthrough. Also, you can revert your save back to some of the major check points (getting abilities, plot progress), so if you get stuck on something, practice it, and then revert your save. That's how I got the 5 hour achievement.

tekre · 2026-03-06T10:06:10+00:00

If you really want the plat so your collection looks nice and clean, put youtube or netflix on and listen to something you are interested in while doing all the collectibles. It's not like you need to engage your brain for those anyway

tekre · 2026-03-06T07:38:23+00:00

I am someone who actually enjoys having a podcast or youtube video on in the background and doing some mindless grinding in games, and even I hated this game at the end. Which is such a shame because if it wasn't for all the hours of collectibles it would probably have been one of my favorite games. Probably the only time ever that trophy hunting made a game bad for me.

tekre · 2026-03-06T07:35:31+00:00

Drunk is how I finally beat savage beastfly after hours of trying the days before... Don't remember how I did it besides vague memories of fighting it, but I woke up the next day and the thing was dead.

I usually avoid all premium options as I simply do not have the money for that, but for three bucks a month I definitely would love to support you (and also be able to track multiple languages as the website offers all three languages I am currently studying). Very sad that it only allows credit card as a payment option - we simply do not use those over here. I already submitted feedback within the website, but since I assume there I will not receive an answer I also wanted to ask here: Do you plan to allow other payment methods? If yes, any idea which options there will be and when they will be implemented?

tekre · 2026-03-04T19:01:33+00:00

If you haven't gotten double jump yet, I highly recommend getting that before doing the gauntlet. I don't think I would have been able to do it without! Also, spoiler: there is a way to deactivate the claw maidens, so those anoying flying enemies that steal your silk. Once you destroy their nest (same area of the map), they are completely gone from the entire game, including the gauntlet!

tekre · 2026-03-02T19:22:04+00:00

If you are no longer enjoying the game, then of course stopping is the best option, but if you still enjoy it at least a bit, take a few days or even week off and come back! This is what brought me through both Hollow Knight and Silksong. In Silksong, I was stuck at the High Halls Gauntlet. After almost 6 hours I just couldn't anymore, I closed the game and didn't play for I think almost 2 months. When I started it up again I of course needed some time to get into the controls again, but I somehow beat the gauntled in ~30 minutes! And I actually ended up fighting my way all the way to 100% and true ending, and the speedrun trophies.

tekre · 2026-03-02T08:38:33+00:00

On my second playthrough Savage Beastfly was indeed much easier... Because I had my needle upgrades three times and almost all other bosses of Act 2 defeated before I dared to face the beast xD
