20 hrs in, hadn't lived through the base level once... I looked for hints and started watching you and Fury. Now I know some of the "tricks" and made it to the vault for my first time.

I like this kind of thing, please do more! I actually like the idea of doing guide style full runs that focus on intermediate or advanced stuff; there are videos for beginners, but once you reach the stage above that, there's actually not a ton of content about it. I have about 200 hours in the game and I can beat Kolmi relatively consistently and have been working on doing the content outside of the tutorial levels.
" there are videos for beginners, but once you reach the stage above that, there's actually not a ton of content about it" - agreed! There's a lot of entry level stuff that explain the absolute basics, there's some tutorials that explain the more unintuitive concepts like alchemy or orbs, and then there nothing for the midgame that doesn't automatically get into boss territory/the harder to unlock spells/etc. This video and the stream of conscious explanations were *great* at helping showcase the logic tree at work during a playthrough.
I click this video, telling myself "OK well I dont want any spoilers, lets just see how he handles the Hiisi base. Its only 4 levels in, right? And wow, he is moving fast, we will be there in no time!"
Just over 20 hours in this game. I've been learning a lot of how the mechanics work but this video alone covers so many aspects that I feel so much more confident. Just knowing what to look for in terms of spells and how wand crafting can work is eye opening. Not only informative, but your personality makes this an entertaining video instead of just bland tutorial. I'm watching this on 1x speed and have found myself rewinding/rewatching sections to better understand what you're doing and looking for. Thank you for this video!
I've never really been one to watch these sort of videos uninterrupted but I do quite enjoy how you dissect the reasoning why you make certain decisions while playing in a game like this It sort of makes me realize how linear I'm playing Noita when in reality I should be thinking about it from a less confined perspective (eg. forcefully "bending the rules" in cases like with the plasma beam's area damage going through pyramid boss armor, or the heartbreak mage health max duplication) Shows that Noita really is a one of a kind game

Fantastically helpful guidance for people a little less experienced, from one of the top tier noita players. Great video Alias! A shorter form wand building guide would be good, but this kind of play-by-play walkthrough showing your decision making is also really great
I plan on sprinkling in some condensed runs with an even heavier focus on wand building but yeah this style is fun because it's relatively easy to just do a run and put it up!
À really helpful guide, I spent to many hours just trying to brute force the game and dying over that 110 times, but the next game literally the next game after watching this vid I managed to build an op wand that got me through the game,, and I learned a lot of tricks and strategies,. Huge thanks to u, keep coming with the guides vids and the long runs ❤
I don't typically watch anything that looks like a 'let's play' or other 'full run' type content, but really enjoyed this video. Mainly, I find it really valuable to hear a high level player's thought process while actually seeing things in motion. There are a few dedicated wand-crafting guides out there that do a better job of breaking down the details of the mechanics, but they tend to lack context and be a bit too dense for a new-ish player to really grasp. Likewise a lot of stuff you did here was pure nonsense, but it still really helps to get a feel for how those high level mechanics fit into the context of the game. I learned a good bit of concrete, actionable stuff, but the most useful part is seeing the progression, both in the run, and the decision-making. Understanding how to build an absolutely broken wand isn't nearly as valuable in the early to mid game as understanding how to build power and manage resources in a sustainable way from the first biome. I'm a few months late here, but I'm hoping you have, or will do more of this style of video in the future. Specifically, I'd be interested in a (mostly) 'pacifist' run showcasing ways to get trick kills, and a run showing how alchemy fits into the rest of the gameplay. I'd also like to see how you approach things like backtracking, moving enemies and materials, and other slightly more advanced techniques.
I'm glad you were able to learn from this video. I do have a few more runs in this styling. My recent no gold run, my fish quest and my parallel world guided run all go with this format. Best of luck Noiting!
I learned a lot from watching this one. I watched it all at 1x speed to take it all in. I realized that I have a few bosses to kill before I can build the wands you build in this run. The early game tips and tricks was helpful. Thank you.
60 hours in and still did not reach the boss even though I managed to get some strong wands but died of my own stupidity. This video was exactly what I was looking for, explained the entire line of thought into building each and every thing along with the mega-helpful explaining each spell/wand/mechanic. Thx a lot man, amazing vid.
This is hands down the best and most informative noita video I've ever seen. You did a great job at explaining things as you would go, with a little more attention to this it would be god tier guide level.
I'm a year+ late, but you said to comment if we want more videos like this. Yes! Specifically more videos about making less than ideal wands (if you're unlucky enough to not get Mana/Chainsaw/etc)
I watch everything in 1.5x so its that speed. Funny that watching this while playing noita and you taught me the down scroll trick. I used it to make a wand that shoots a bunch of lasers and its pretty nice XD but I have like no HP :(
Man 300 hours and you've still taught me new stuff, like the scroll wheel and honestly didn't know that Greek spells and divide spells draw which explains some of my past mistakes of why I couldn't get things to work... Also I watch everything at 1x normally
Incredible video, super chill and easy to listen to, no exaggerated character or hamming it up for the mic. Would love to see more of these "train-of-thought" type videos, keep up the good work. 👍
I actually have added a play-list for the other videos I have in this style! Appreciate the kind words and bringing to my attention the other videos weren't easy to find.
One tiny little critique: 22 minutes in, you're discussing the use of a splitter bolt with timer to get just a little more damage out of the wand. You stick the drill in as the timer's payload. You don't explain why. I know enough about Noita to assume it's to negate the timer on the splitting bolt with something harmless so you can just get the damage from having the projectile, but you make an assumption that the viewer knows enough to come to that conclusion-which might not be helpful for newer folk looking to use this as a guide. Excellent video overall though! :D Edit: The critique was addressed one hour in! This is good. I love that. There are definitely some steps skipped, for sure. I know enough about wands to have a general idea how to build something decent, but then you go and build that shotgun wand just before the crash and I had no idea what I was looking at or how you structured it like that-and you didn't elaborate. To be fair the game also immediately crashed, but you made no explanation in the process of building the wand either. You just took ten seconds to slap some spells on the thing and suddenly a terrifying amount of spark bolts came into being. It was cool, dont get me wrong, but I have no idea how to recreate it in my own world.
I've survived Personal Fireball Thrower twice with no immunities. You just need to stay wet and airborne for like a minute or two. It's not easy, and it definitely chonked out my health both times, and at least one of those times I had a teleport wand to help me stay airborne, but if you get hit by it, DO NOT GIVE UP. If you die, you'll have given yourself some good practice, and if you survive, you'll feel like a million bucks. Also I had absolutely no idea that fungal wands were all non-shuffle! That really shocks me to hear tbh; I know I've found some real stinker wands in there amongst the good ones, and I just assumed some were shuffle.
This video is incredibly helpful for me! I've only played 30 hours, killed the final boss 1 time. So much useful information was not even in half an hour guides, which were without gameplay. The most useful thing I learned: You can tell the characteristics of a magic wand by its appearance. That you can ignore the recharge time with binds in the game. Before I was in a hurry, never going back to previous stages, now I realized how important it is to explore everything! Watched the full video at 1x speed, it was interesting for me.
I watched it at 2x speed. this is the video that got me to sub to you. It taught me more about wand building than most other tutorials dedicated to it. The mouse wheel tip - chefs kiss.
I greatly enjoyed the video, and would definitely also enjoy seeing an example of a longer run (regardless of goal) and how you do wand builds with the better wands and greater variety of spells.
Thank you, this has been a good bridge into more advanced play. Mainly watched so I could glimpse into the thought process of how you moved into midgame wand builds, but learned a lot of important tricks like moving heart mages around. I feel like I'm finally getting ahead of the difficulty curve
Really enjoyed the video at 1x and would love to see more fun wand-builds and other shenanigans! I’ve already learned a lot from this one. Maybe you could do something like „bad seed runs“ to show how to manage runs where you are lacking most of the gamechanger-spells and have to be creative with your mediocre spells. Just an idea :)
This was awesome. Sadly I don’t play myself, but I’ve been fascinated since noita came out. Didn’t understand the tinkering at all, but now I’ve got a much better idea. And the video was just fun to watch! So I see this as an absolute win.
very informative! I personally dont really like the mouse wheel trick, but to each there own. I do really like this video and this format though! also I do think that you doing runs of the harder stuff in the game like sun quests and stuff would be very beneficial even if there is a lot of that content already on youtube. I think that your inputs and commentary would be insightful.
Love this! Very helpful and appreciate the thorough explanations. As a new player, getting a bit more into why the spell order needs to be what it is would help me. Watching you change a spell one spot over but seeing a completely different result is still a bit confusing. Thank you!
that was a great example of good tips for wands with infinite answers, just seeing some work is great, and your game crashing and losing spells showed that flexibility is way better than getting a lucky drop my only criticism is you running around in the holy mountain while wand editing lol!
To reach the alchemist bossroom, check the background. Stand in a way that you are about in the middle of the big mountain in the background, then dig down. That should get you about at the entrance of the alchemist room. If you start digging a bit further than the middle of the mountain in the background, you will dig straight into the room. Edit: I just have it on 1x speed, but am doing other stuff on the side. The part about recognizing wands from their looks was new to me. That doesnt seem to have been covered a lot. Appreciate the videos man!
I'm glad it was useful to you! I definitely like putting a big emphasis on the early game as it tends to be the safest place to gear up and has some super high quality loot. That said there are many playstyles to mess around with.
Really great video watched at 1x speed. I'd gladly support more of these coming out. Great commentary and great educational value even for someone with a few hundred hours in the game.
This is a pretty late comment but watched this at 1x speed. I found this video extremely helpful. I recently beat the game for the first time after deciding to sit down and actually learn about wand building. After beating it, my friend showed me a god run they have been on for a while now and I realized just how little of the surface I'd scratched. This video really helped me understand this game even better. Thank you for this!
Holy cow this is an amazing video. As a new player, hearing your thought processes and watching your wand building made me have much better understanding of what to do. Like I just killed The alchemist for the first time and he dropped the Greek letters and I have no idea how to build a super wand. I'm overwhelmed by all the different things that can be put into the wand One of my problems is I feel like all of my wands just end up being spark bolt trigger wands and I want to be able to try something else instead of always using the same thing every run
I'm so glad that my runs have been helpful to you! Let me know if there's anything I could improve on or if I miss anything. I have a few ideas in the pocket but always looking to make more useful stuff for people.
@@AliasGaming0 honestly just watching you building wands and it giving me an idea on how to actually do it properly is the biggest help. Also your thought processes as you go deeper and deeper into the map and why you made the decisions that you did make. I've been having fun playing the game but I'm actually kind of getting to the point where I'm preparing to play dragon's dogma 2 so I probably won't be playing this game for a little bit
I came to this video to learn exactly how to build wands. Didn’t exactly learn much in that respect. What I did learn however was how to identify wands at a first glance, that the levels are all connected (So you can go backwards in levels!) and set up in tiles, and that the upward POTENTIAL of wand building is absurd. The way you exploded the screen at the end made my jaw drop. What I would like to know is how the better players have such great control of their potions. Like how do you completely stain yourself so quickly?
This is an old comment but for posterity I guess, it seems to me like just spraying up and then levitating up into it is how. Not spraying enough makes it seem like it doesn't work so just practicing and paying attention to get a feel for the right amount and not be too wasteful. You don't want to levitate faster than your spray too which is very possible.
@@silphv Yeah I figured it out a while ago, but thanks for getting back to me regardless ^-^ Since seeing this video, I’ve beaten the game, climbed the tower, and made it to parallel worlds. Even then I’m still barely scratching the surface of what Noita has to offer. It’s been fun.
I’ve been exclusively speedrunning for the last couple weeks, so I haven’t been seeing a lot of good wand builds, or Fungal caverns for that matter. I forgot how much fun it is!
very cool video! I think of myself as okay at noita (300 hours, get quite frequent wins) but this really showed me how much better I can be at recognizing, exploiting, and also creating good opportunities. honestly so frequently afraid to play with self-damage but I realized that even though my runs are longer and I have more to lose, I have to be more experimental - fight more bosses, build more wild wands with stupid spells, etc. to keep getting better. also the scroll trick totally changes the proportion of time I can find a usable wand in the early game, very happy with that! hoping for some much healthier fungals in the future obviously I'd love to get a version of this where you get *bad* rng to see how to handle it, but overall, excellent video that I learned a lot from in both mindset and practicality
I watched this video to gain a better understanding of how to create a better wand. I'm commenting to let you know i've watched this at the normal speed and treated it as a tutorial despite it being an old version of the game. As i enjoyed the commentary, you've shown a lot more exploration that i can do. Spoilers aren't a biggy to me so i've appreciated the run through. This video has brought the game play more to life and im more keen to spend time playing it. I'd highly like to recommend you make more tutorial videos on wand builds as you have a great way of quick explanations and easy to understand. as i'm new to the game and still understand what you mean. haha! Cheers for the video.
HI just watched the whole vid at normal speed, cuz I, kinda learning but also it’s fun to watch you make cool wands, I’ve been playing north for a total of 28 hours now. Really fun!
This is probably my favorite noita video out there TBH. I would love a sun quest or 33 orb run version of this or even just another one of these since the early game probaby has the most interesting decisions. I struggle making wands that arent your cookie cutter spark bolt trigger,chainsaw, a million damage modifier wands for my god runs and for that reason long runs tend to get boring for me. Maybe that is an idea for another video for long runs with some non-cookie cutter endgame wands focused on teaching other ways of wandbuilding besides the generic way most players know. I know you like doing the more obscure wand builds.
i’m still trying to take my time & learn a lot about this game & i still die so easily SO OFTEN lol. this was great to watch & gives me a bit more confidence in my failures to become a godlike noita. i can pretty much assess good wands, but im only decent at putting a good one together; nothing that i can easily fight bosses with before hitting hiisi base 😅
Awesome video. Always looking for more tips and tricks especially around (early) boss killers. On a god run currently that could have been much easier had I known plasma is so good against Alch
I'm watching this as a gameplay at normal speed (I know it's been a year but still maybe it helps). Even though everything went too fast for me as a new player, I still learnt a lot!
Definitely check out coaching a noob, I imagine that will help fill in a lot of the gaps. My quick playstyle can definitely hurt me when it comes to making these guides. Best of luck in the noita gaming!
@@AliasGaming0 Your playstyle was awesome! I will check them for sure. I'm still VERY new. I have only played for 15 hours, so I have a lot to discover and learn. But now I will see spells as cards in a discard pile thanks to you!
"This is how to play the game" *Gets all the good items and spells right off the bat* Great gameplay and tips but boy did you have a fantastic start to build on.
Doing work while listening to podcasts usually, just an earplug in one ear. Its really nice that you kinda talk through it, so i kinda can imagine what's going on, getting a good perspective of what's going on and what you're doing different. Would love to see more
This was a fun video! I watched at normal speed (I watch everything at normal speed). Suggestions I would make: Making an insane wand that does all the things with spells that a new player simply can't have isn't as useful as doing the same with normal spells (greek letters are cool and you showed us how to get them with more basic spells, but divide by 3 is a mystery and almost no one watching this will even know how to unlock it). Using ghost wands to get through the early game similarly doesn't feel like it teaches newer players much cuz we aren't going to find a wand like that in the mines even if we do get ghosts (it is worth seeing what happens when an experienced player has to struggle in the early zones and make do with what exists). A type of video or information that I would useful and I don't see a lot of is covering the intermediate process of transitioning from just trying to get a basic win to exploring outside the basic areas and taking on new bosses. Knowing things to think about, or bosses to look for before other bosses could be useful. Overall I really liked this video and I'll definitely look for more from you!
great type of video, theres not enough intermediate/advanced stuff out there. you still kinda go fast over some things you wanted to explain but looking forward to seeing more!
very helpful, i love noita with 800+ hours on it, but I'm not up to date on all the new wand tricks, so it was nice learning that copy random spell thrice is actually useful xD I would appreciate a more focused video, just to make sure full coverage of all the different tricks that you might not find the spells for in random runs.
I really like the format of these videos as a new player who hasnt beaten the game yet. Really I would only ask for more explanations of your builds. I was personally confused by your blood mist wand.
I'm so glad haha. I set out making this to hopefully make it useful for as many folks as I could but it seems it really ended up being helpful with the intermediate - higher skill level crowd.
@@AliasGaming0I can assure you 1000% that newbies will learn a TON from what you taught people in this video. I hope you make more like these, because this video is just the drought of Midas (pure gold).
@@mosesbuddhajesus3362I actually have a playlist of videos similar to this one but I think the naming scheme tricks people into thinking this is the only one! (that said I should definitely make some more with the new content that just came out). Also thank you so much for the kind words
@@AliasGaming0Yea its definitely confusing, i was looking for more videos like this one, but didnt click on any others because of the name. Maybe try calling it something like "Play by play to win" or "Wand crafting tips as I play", something like that you know? Maaany noobs and people who want to learn will click on them, since its the most important part of the game, and im sure people will search for that. Im no youtuber tho so I have no idea how it is behind the scenes. I hope you make another one soon because the game is getting more traction lately! Get them views with the new content dude :) Youll get one from me if you make a video like this.
I startest with Noita 2 Days ago.Want an easy Game after the latest Elden Ring DLC.. yeah Mission faild... But im so hyped to learn an try Out so many things in this Game 😊 thanks for this run i learned a lot and on the other Hand i dont get alot of the mechanics....(The heal boost in the Pyramids for example) But i will after my First 200h i Hope 🤣
@@AliasGaming0 Hey, i went halfway through the new one already! It's much easier to understand since you made it more "progressive"(?) - for the full sequence i will have to reset my brain first (aka sleep) though. It's just so much overall :) Thanks for doing what you do and being who you are :)
this was really fun to watch as a beginner who just had his first few wins recently but i must say that i really struggled to understand the wands you built with the greek letter spells.
@AliasGaming0 thank you, that would be great! I really want to get into Noita but I'm not really understanding the wand building. I could be just getting unlucky but I don't seem to find anything to make cool and powerful wands and end up angering the gods and I'm killed pretty quickly.
I would love to see long form tutorials for longer runs. I struggle with finding good combinations of spells for the goals I want. My current goal is mecha kolmi. I know what immunities I need, I know electric spells are supremely effective against the power plant enemies. But every wand combination I've tried have been way too dangerous that I die to it. I feel like I'm always searching for the perfect spells. When I probably have a combination of spells that'd already work for the scenario.
Wow, that input setup with the mousewheel is genius. I was wondering how you were gonna manually reload with the cast delay at 0 lol, gonna have to use this trick myself
Heyho 🙋♂️ First of all - i love the content, great job at explaining. I am currently in a phase where im neither a veteran nor a new player. My biggest struggle is wand crafting.... (Why did my rapid fire disappear, i just moved the chainsaw one slot to the left :( ) I'd love a semi-advanced guide on wand crafting. I understand that chainsaw removes cast delay... i understand that triggers are super strong, but.... HOW!? 🤣 i end up in holy mountain with, dunno, add mana, triggers, add critical and what not, but i just cant craft a god wand for the life of me. Thanks in advance bruv much love ♡
Thanks for these guides, i do find this is going a little fast for a new player, but still extremely useful. I wonder if you could make a very basic like ''game plan'' style video, or like a general list of places to visit, bosses to kill and spells you aim for to get OP, i know its kind of RNG - anyway, i find theres so much to learn its just overwhelming figuring out what to do / aim for
I watched this at 2x, mostly because im only interested in wand-building tips and general gameplay mentality because I always try to 100% mines then end up getting killed by something stupid while at critical health for most of the run
@@theeguy9022 I like playing turn-based RPGs where each move often takes me several seconds to a few minutes to consider, so patience is not exactly a problem for me. This is just how I consume videos. Like with reference books, there's no reason for you to read everything from cover to cover-knowing how to look for your desired information is a skill.
I came for a tutorial, but I stayed for the gameplay and personality. Good video.
Thank you for the incredibly kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed!

Things I've learned from this as a 400h player:
1. Need to spam potions more because I've trained myself to use them so sparingly
2. The scroll swap use trick
3. Ambrosia has a recipe (woah)

Noita is truly wild because it goes from being a roguelite to an open world god sim once you have a wide enough knowledge base.

Man 300 hours and you've still taught me new stuff, like the scroll wheel and honestly didn't know that Greek spells and divide spells draw which explains some of my past mistakes of why I couldn't get things to work... Also I watch everything at 1x normally
Incredible video, super chill and easy to listen to, no exaggerated character or hamming it up for the mic. Would love to see more of these "train-of-thought" type videos, keep up the good work. 👍
I actually have added a play-list for the other videos I have in this style! Appreciate the kind words and bringing to my attention the other videos weren't easy to find.
@@AliasGaming0 I'll give em a look! They're excellent to listen to while I work!
One tiny little critique:
22 minutes in, you're discussing the use of a splitter bolt with timer to get just a little more damage out of the wand. You stick the drill in as the timer's payload. You don't explain why.
I know enough about Noita to assume it's to negate the timer on the splitting bolt with something harmless so you can just get the damage from having the projectile, but you make an assumption that the viewer knows enough to come to that conclusion-which might not be helpful for newer folk looking to use this as a guide.
Excellent video overall though! :D
Edit: The critique was addressed one hour in! This is good. I love that. There are definitely some steps skipped, for sure. I know enough about wands to have a general idea how to build something decent, but then you go and build that shotgun wand just before the crash and I had no idea what I was looking at or how you structured it like that-and you didn't elaborate. To be fair the game also immediately crashed, but you made no explanation in the process of building the wand either. You just took ten seconds to slap some spells on the thing and suddenly a terrifying amount of spark bolts came into being. It was cool, dont get me wrong, but I have no idea how to recreate it in my own world.
I've survived Personal Fireball Thrower twice with no immunities. You just need to stay wet and airborne for like a minute or two. It's not easy, and it definitely chonked out my health both times, and at least one of those times I had a teleport wand to help me stay airborne, but if you get hit by it, DO NOT GIVE UP. If you die, you'll have given yourself some good practice, and if you survive, you'll feel like a million bucks.
Also I had absolutely no idea that fungal wands were all non-shuffle! That really shocks me to hear tbh; I know I've found some real stinker wands in there amongst the good ones, and I just assumed some were shuffle.
I can't believe that I watched the entire video at x1 speed with no interruption, great content! a lot of knowledge, and fun to watch!
This video is incredibly helpful for me! I've only played 30 hours, killed the final boss 1 time. So much useful information was not even in half an hour guides, which were without gameplay. The most useful thing I learned:
You can tell the characteristics of a magic wand by its appearance.
That you can ignore the recharge time with binds in the game.
Before I was in a hurry, never going back to previous stages, now I realized how important it is to explore everything!
Watched the full video at 1x speed, it was interesting for me.
I watched it at 2x speed. this is the video that got me to sub to you. It taught me more about wand building than most other tutorials dedicated to it. The mouse wheel tip - chefs kiss.
I'm so happy it's a useful video for you! The mouse wheel trick truly does turn so many wands on their head, quite nice.
I greatly enjoyed the video, and would definitely also enjoy seeing an example of a longer run (regardless of goal) and how you do wand builds with the better wands and greater variety of spells.
Thank you, this has been a good bridge into more advanced play. Mainly watched so I could glimpse into the thought process of how you moved into midgame wand builds, but learned a lot of important tricks like moving heart mages around. I feel like I'm finally getting ahead of the difficulty curve
Really enjoyed the video at 1x and would love to see more fun wand-builds and other shenanigans! I’ve already learned a lot from this one.
Maybe you could do something like „bad seed runs“ to show how to manage runs where you are lacking most of the gamechanger-spells and have to be creative with your mediocre spells. Just an idea :)
I was thinking exactly that actually haha. Next video I will definitely be requesting any and all seeds that people have struggled on.
I watched at normal speed. Definitely more of an intermediate level content, but that's the kind of player I am so I appreciate that.
I'm watching this at 0.5x (for comedic effect)
This was awesome. Sadly I don’t play myself, but I’ve been fascinated since noita came out. Didn’t understand the tinkering at all, but now I’ve got a much better idea. And the video was just fun to watch! So I see this as an absolute win.
That's awesome! If you ever end up picking up noita you will be well prepared :)
very informative! I personally dont really like the mouse wheel trick, but to each there own. I do really like this video and this format though!
also I do think that you doing runs of the harder stuff in the game like sun quests and stuff would be very beneficial even if there is a lot of that content already on youtube. I think that your inputs and commentary would be insightful.
it started as a guide but became more of a podcast while i watched. super entertaining!
I watched this in full at normal speed. Had considered 1.5x early on but was enjoying just chilling and watching
quick tip to anyone reading chat If a wand has a curvy or wavy handle that means it has high Spread
Ty
Love this! Very helpful and appreciate the thorough explanations. As a new player, getting a bit more into why the spell order needs to be what it is would help me. Watching you change a spell one spot over but seeing a completely different result is still a bit confusing. Thank you!
that was a great example of good tips for wands
with infinite answers, just seeing some work is great, and your game crashing and losing spells showed that flexibility is way better than getting a lucky drop
my only criticism is you running around in the holy mountain while wand editing lol!
sorry about the running around haha, I am so used to speedrunning the game that I find I get restless fingers when I'm not moving.
@@AliasGaming0 haha i see that
i watched a few more of your videos and saw it save your life at least twice so seems worth it in my books now :)
To reach the alchemist bossroom, check the background. Stand in a way that you are about in the middle of the big mountain in the background, then dig down. That should get you about at the entrance of the alchemist room. If you start digging a bit further than the middle of the mountain in the background, you will dig straight into the room.
Edit: I just have it on 1x speed, but am doing other stuff on the side. The part about recognizing wands from their looks was new to me. That doesnt seem to have been covered a lot. Appreciate the videos man!
This video was great I never knew how huge these early stages could be whole run was entertaining and educational
I'm glad it was useful to you! I definitely like putting a big emphasis on the early game as it tends to be the safest place to gear up and has some super high quality loot. That said there are many playstyles to mess around with.
Really great video watched at 1x speed. I'd gladly support more of these coming out. Great commentary and great educational value even for someone with a few hundred hours in the game.
This is a pretty late comment but watched this at 1x speed. I found this video extremely helpful. I recently beat the game for the first time after deciding to sit down and actually learn about wand building. After beating it, my friend showed me a god run they have been on for a while now and I realized just how little of the surface I'd scratched. This video really helped me understand this game even better. Thank you for this!
I'm so glad it was useful to you! Good luck on further exploring noita, there is so much to it once you break through that initial struggle period.
Just found your channel, 10/10 personality, humor, gameplay, information. I watched 1x speed btw, I liked the format.
I always watch videos at 1x speed, this was no different. Loved the video, I always like learning more about this game even if I dont play it
Holy cow this is an amazing video. As a new player, hearing your thought processes and watching your wand building made me have much better understanding of what to do.
Like I just killed The alchemist for the first time and he dropped the Greek letters and I have no idea how to build a super wand. I'm overwhelmed by all the different things that can be put into the wand
One of my problems is I feel like all of my wands just end up being spark bolt trigger wands and I want to be able to try something else instead of always using the same thing every run
I'm so glad that my runs have been helpful to you! Let me know if there's anything I could improve on or if I miss anything. I have a few ideas in the pocket but always looking to make more useful stuff for people.
@@AliasGaming0 honestly just watching you building wands and it giving me an idea on how to actually do it properly is the biggest help.
Also your thought processes as you go deeper and deeper into the map and why you made the decisions that you did make.
I've been having fun playing the game but I'm actually kind of getting to the point where I'm preparing to play dragon's dogma 2 so I probably won't be playing this game for a little bit
I came to this video to learn exactly how to build wands. Didn’t exactly learn much in that respect. What I did learn however was how to identify wands at a first glance, that the levels are all connected (So you can go backwards in levels!) and set up in tiles, and that the upward POTENTIAL of wand building is absurd. The way you exploded the screen at the end made my jaw drop. What I would like to know is how the better players have such great control of their potions. Like how do you completely stain yourself so quickly?
This is an old comment but for posterity I guess, it seems to me like just spraying up and then levitating up into it is how. Not spraying enough makes it seem like it doesn't work so just practicing and paying attention to get a feel for the right amount and not be too wasteful. You don't want to levitate faster than your spray too which is very possible.
@@silphv Yeah I figured it out a while ago, but thanks for getting back to me regardless ^-^ Since seeing this video, I’ve beaten the game, climbed the tower, and made it to parallel worlds. Even then I’m still barely scratching the surface of what Noita has to offer. It’s been fun.
I’ve been exclusively speedrunning for the last couple weeks, so I haven’t been seeing a lot of good wand builds, or Fungal caverns for that matter. I forgot how much fun it is!
very cool video! I think of myself as okay at noita (300 hours, get quite frequent wins) but this really showed me how much better I can be at recognizing, exploiting, and also creating good opportunities. honestly so frequently afraid to play with self-damage but I realized that even though my runs are longer and I have more to lose, I have to be more experimental - fight more bosses, build more wild wands with stupid spells, etc. to keep getting better.
also the scroll trick totally changes the proportion of time I can find a usable wand in the early game, very happy with that! hoping for some much healthier fungals in the future
obviously I'd love to get a version of this where you get *bad* rng to see how to handle it, but overall, excellent video that I learned a lot from in both mindset and practicality
I watched this on normal speed. It is a great video, I actually learned some useful things.
I watched this video to gain a better understanding of how to create a better wand. I'm commenting to let you know i've watched this at the normal speed and treated it as a tutorial despite it being an old version of the game. As i enjoyed the commentary, you've shown a lot more exploration that i can do. Spoilers aren't a biggy to me so i've appreciated the run through. This video has brought the game play more to life and im more keen to spend time playing it.
I'd highly like to recommend you make more tutorial videos on wand builds as you have a great way of quick explanations and easy to understand. as i'm new to the game and still understand what you mean. haha! Cheers for the video.
I'm so glad the video was useful to you! I will definitely have to do some more wand build focused videos.
HI just watched the whole vid at normal speed, cuz I, kinda learning but also it’s fun to watch you make cool wands,
I’ve been playing north for a total of 28 hours now. Really fun!
This is exactly the kind of educational video I was looking for! Thank you so much for this
I love the longform content, please keep doing it, and I'm watching it at 1x speed.
This is probably my favorite noita video out there TBH. I would love a sun quest or 33 orb run version of this or even just another one of these since the early game probaby has the most interesting decisions. I struggle making wands that arent your cookie cutter spark bolt trigger,chainsaw, a million damage modifier wands for my god runs and for that reason long runs tend to get boring for me. Maybe that is an idea for another video for long runs with some non-cookie cutter endgame wands focused on teaching other ways of wandbuilding besides the generic way most players know. I know you like doing the more obscure wand builds.
I would watch every one of these in its entirety
Good thing I have a couple more on the way already!
i’m still trying to take my time & learn a lot about this game & i still die so easily SO OFTEN lol. this was great to watch & gives me a bit more confidence in my failures to become a godlike noita. i can pretty much assess good wands, but im only decent at putting a good one together; nothing that i can easily fight bosses with before hitting hiisi base 😅
I got my first victory while this was playing in the background. Thanks for the good luck! Great video.
14:03 "health still looking pretty nice" yes it is... nice.
Heyo! Watching at 1.0x speed, really enjoying the your commentatary and wisdom.
Watched at 2x speed but I watch everything at 2x speed. Also Learned a good few useful tips.
I watched the entire thing at normal speed. Really nice video and hope you keep doing similar things
Awesome video. Always looking for more tips and tricks especially around (early) boss killers. On a god run currently that could have been much easier had I known plasma is so good against Alch
I absolutely LOVED this, please continue. Also, watching at 1x.
I'm watching this as a gameplay at normal speed (I know it's been a year but still maybe it helps). Even though everything went too fast for me as a new player, I still learnt a lot!
Definitely check out coaching a noob, I imagine that will help fill in a lot of the gaps. My quick playstyle can definitely hurt me when it comes to making these guides. Best of luck in the noita gaming!
@@AliasGaming0 Your playstyle was awesome! I will check them for sure. I'm still VERY new. I have only played for 15 hours, so I have a lot to discover and learn. But now I will see spells as cards in a discard pile thanks to you!
"This is how to play the game" *Gets all the good items and spells right off the bat*
Great gameplay and tips but boy did you have a fantastic start to build on.
I definitely got lucky haha, hence why there will be many runs instead of just one. Roguelikes be like that.
Doing work while listening to podcasts usually, just an earplug in one ear. Its really nice that you kinda talk through it, so i kinda can imagine what's going on, getting a good perspective of what's going on and what you're doing different.
Would love to see more
This was a fun video! I watched at normal speed (I watch everything at normal speed).
Suggestions I would make:
Making an insane wand that does all the things with spells that a new player simply can't have isn't as useful as doing the same with normal spells (greek letters are cool and you showed us how to get them with more basic spells, but divide by 3 is a mystery and almost no one watching this will even know how to unlock it).
Using ghost wands to get through the early game similarly doesn't feel like it teaches newer players much cuz we aren't going to find a wand like that in the mines even if we do get ghosts (it is worth seeing what happens when an experienced player has to struggle in the early zones and make do with what exists).
A type of video or information that I would useful and I don't see a lot of is covering the intermediate process of transitioning from just trying to get a basic win to exploring outside the basic areas and taking on new bosses. Knowing things to think about, or bosses to look for before other bosses could be useful.
Overall I really liked this video and I'll definitely look for more from you!
great type of video, theres not enough intermediate/advanced stuff out there. you still kinda go fast over some things you wanted to explain but looking forward to seeing more!
very helpful, i love noita with 800+ hours on it, but I'm not up to date on all the new wand tricks, so it was nice learning that copy random spell thrice is actually useful xD
I would appreciate a more focused video, just to make sure full coverage of all the different tricks that you might not find the spells for in random runs.
Please make more videos like this! There's never a shortage of Noita tutorials on UA-cam and idiots like me!
I really like the format of these videos as a new player who hasnt beaten the game yet. Really I would only ask for more explanations of your builds. I was personally confused by your blood mist wand.
I will be sure to go into further depth in future videos. Thank you for your feedback!
Nice video, I really like the way you showcase a lot of spells that aren't used that often. Watched on 1x speed btw
A guided video with all the things you look for to do a long run would be very helpful
You should keep on doing these, especially for different types of runs too. Like a parallel world one, all bosses, etc.
That's exactly what I have planned!
@@AliasGaming0I love to hear it.
i wonder how much time would a supernova run take
Alias I watched through this on 1.0 speed and loved it! I can never catch your streams because timezones suck ass, so please keep the videos coming 🥰
will do! Timezones are definitely annoying that's for sure.
I still love NOITA and there is Always something to learn, thank you and Fury Fordge great content, ❤
Wow, thank you so much for this video. I have had a LOT of god runs, and I have learned so much from your video. Amazing.
I'm so glad haha. I set out making this to hopefully make it useful for as many folks as I could but it seems it really ended up being helpful with the intermediate - higher skill level crowd.
@@AliasGaming0I can assure you 1000% that newbies will learn a TON from what you taught people in this video. I hope you make more like these, because this video is just the drought of Midas (pure gold).
@@mosesbuddhajesus3362I actually have a playlist of videos similar to this one but I think the naming scheme tricks people into thinking this is the only one! (that said I should definitely make some more with the new content that just came out).
Also thank you so much for the kind words
@@AliasGaming0Yea its definitely confusing, i was looking for more videos like this one, but didnt click on any others because of the name. Maybe try calling it something like "Play by play to win" or "Wand crafting tips as I play", something like that you know? Maaany noobs and people who want to learn will click on them, since its the most important part of the game, and im sure people will search for that. Im no youtuber tho so I have no idea how it is behind the scenes. I hope you make another one soon because the game is getting more traction lately! Get them views with the new content dude :) Youll get one from me if you make a video like this.
Nevermind, I just found them, and they are named properly lol. my bad! Watching the fish quest one now.
I startest with Noita 2 Days ago.Want an easy Game after the latest Elden Ring DLC.. yeah Mission faild... But im so hyped to learn an try Out so many things in this Game 😊 thanks for this run i learned a lot and on the other Hand i dont get alot of the mechanics....(The heal boost in the Pyramids for example) But i will after my First 200h i Hope 🤣
Trying to get better at this game and man seeing you play is like watching professional lol
Really like this content, especially without the twitch chat. Hope more is coming!
Totally overwhelmed by the speed and order you go through things. Searching your channel if makde a dedicated wand guide now..
I recently made a guide dedicated to newer folks. This one is more intermediate. Sorry it was too quickly paced for you.
@@AliasGaming0 Hey, i went halfway through the new one already! It's much easier to understand since you made it more "progressive"(?) - for the full sequence i will have to reset my brain first (aka sleep) though. It's just so much overall :)
Thanks for doing what you do and being who you are :)
I am saying something as I was suggested in the video 11/10 would watch again
I like this format a lot, I hope you keep making more :)
this was really fun to watch as a beginner who just had his first few wins recently but i must say that i really struggled to understand the wands you built with the greek letter spells.
Noted, I will go deeper into the usage of greek spells in the future!
Im watching it at .5 speed it’s very entertaining
New to the game and I have to say this is information overload, I don't really know what wand I should be building
Sorry, this tends to be a little more intermediate level. I am working on something that should help some newer folks very soon.
@AliasGaming0 thank you, that would be great! I really want to get into Noita but I'm not really understanding the wand building. I could be just getting unlucky but I don't seem to find anything to make cool and powerful wands and end up angering the gods and I'm killed pretty quickly.
Yes keep doing this! I subscribed because I liked this so much haha. Watched at 1x speed. At about 65 hours with 8 or 9 wins 😂
That was really helpful- most of it over my head but still very helpful
This was filmed on my birthday lol, I watched at normal speed
I would love to see long form tutorials for longer runs. I struggle with finding good combinations of spells for the goals I want. My current goal is mecha kolmi. I know what immunities I need, I know electric spells are supremely effective against the power plant enemies.
But every wand combination I've tried have been way too dangerous that I die to it. I feel like I'm always searching for the perfect spells. When I probably have a combination of spells that'd already work for the scenario.
1:20:18 Surprisingly for me I'm actually watching this at 1x speed, I feel like I'm the kind of viewer who tends to watch videos at faster speeds
This is a wonderful concept, thank you for making this!
this is so much fun and of soo much use, please make more of these
Wow, that input setup with the mousewheel is genius. I was wondering how you were gonna manually reload with the cast delay at 0 lol, gonna have to use this trick myself
It's super handy, I love how much customization noita gives you for controls!
Heyho 🙋♂️
First of all - i love the content, great job at explaining.
I am currently in a phase where im neither a veteran nor a new player. My biggest struggle is wand crafting.... (Why did my rapid fire disappear, i just moved the chainsaw one slot to the left :( )
I'd love a semi-advanced guide on wand crafting.
I understand that chainsaw removes cast delay... i understand that triggers are super strong, but.... HOW!? 🤣 i end up in holy mountain with, dunno, add mana, triggers, add critical and what not, but i just cant craft a god wand for the life of me.
Thanks in advance bruv much love ♡
loved the video. id love to see some in depth tutorials on the different exploits
Thanks for these guides, i do find this is going a little fast for a new player, but still extremely useful. I wonder if you could make a very basic like ''game plan'' style video, or like a general list of places to visit, bosses to kill and spells you aim for to get OP, i know its kind of RNG - anyway, i find theres so much to learn its just overwhelming figuring out what to do / aim for
I watched this at 2x, mostly because im only interested in wand-building tips and general gameplay mentality because I always try to 100% mines then end up getting killed by something stupid while at critical health for most of the run
If that's indicative of how you act elsewhere maybe try to have more patience, Noita rewards fast reactions but being methodical is important
@@theeguy9022 I like playing turn-based RPGs where each move often takes me several seconds to a few minutes to consider, so patience is not exactly a problem for me. This is just how I consume videos. Like with reference books, there's no reason for you to read everything from cover to cover-knowing how to look for your desired information is a skill.
Awesome video man and definitely provided value to me and helped my understand notia better. Thanks and keep up the good work !
Educational lets plays? More, please!
