Hey all

I’ve been playing a bit of Noita in my spare time, and i’m enjoying it a lot thus far.

I got to the icy floor and manage to survive pretty well. But at some point I feel like I’m not able to kill enemies fast enough anymore. And the wands I find or bought at this stage don’t seem to be good enough to put on some decent spells.

Should I be trying out some alternative strategies, or go to a different location? I know there is a lot to explore, but not sure where to start. I also don’t seem to find a lot of options for digging, even though this seems necessary if I want to go back up.

Thanks for your help!

    Honestly, watch some of DunkOrSlam’s wand building videos and learn how to escape the holy mountain without breaking it (and then return).

    Those two skills will help you build better wands for more survivability.

    After that, I’d say just focus on learning the various levels and what kinds of enemies you’ll be facing (and how to avoid them).

    But, I’d try to avoid full spoilers of everything you can do until you beat the tutorial (or the final boss) 😂

      I’ll check out those wand building videos, thanks!

      I already managed to get out of the holy mountain by using teleports. But I’m not sure what to do when breaking out by digging. The first time I did so, and angered the gods. The steve guy killed himself somehow (projectile reflected off a shield or something). But then on the next levels I have to deal with him somehow.

      Is it worth it to try and kill him? Or better to avoid angering the gods in the first place?

        Some people trigger him on purpose to get early gold 😃. There are definitely ways to deal with him.

        Though his big brother is trickier later. With the right wand though they’re definitely manageable.

          Is it possible to still use the shop and configure wands and then dodge him to get out without fighting? Or not worth the risk?

            Possible but definitely trickier.

            There’s also vids out there for how to kill him with the statue…

                No worries, if it happens then worst case you start to learn his patterns.

                The tldr of the statue trick is to get him to follow you to the left of the HM, and you stand on the left side of the statue (facing left) with your cursor pointing straight up. When he’s above you kick and launch the statue straight up for an instant kill.

                  Nice, I will have to try this out. I guess it does also does not work anymore when he gets upgraded?

                  Is it possible to run/teleport past the upgraded version and trigger the exit to kill him, then dig back to get the perks?

                    That is a great question, I’ve never tried running by big Steve. He can dissolve rock so doubtful
