I really wish the game would just despawn those tiny pixel-sized chunks of ground. As you say, it's incredibly frustrating. That and getting stuck on terrain.

A tip that I would always give others: Know what spells can hurt you if they come back at you. Spells like Magic Arrow and Glowing Lance look like they are in the same category but if a glowing lance bounces off a shield and comes back at you. You got problems son. I think the list of non obvious ones is pretty small but there aren't really any hard rules. Most spells with an explosion will hurt you if you're caught in it but Energy Orb doesn't. Some spells won't damage you directly but if you fire Concentrated Light at your feet, you're liable to get burned. Sure you could throw Disc Projectile on a trigger bolt but you better be sure you know where that thing is going when it pops out. I really liked the tip about the visual inspection. The only one I've really noticed is the number of tips on a wand. The other stuff is really cool to know.

Brother I’m hundreds of hours in and I just learned how useful trigger spells and mod spells are 😅

Hello McQueeb. I was frustrated with Noita, uninstalled it several times, but thanks to your videos I always felt the need to come back and give it another try. Recently I managed to kill the dragon in the jungle biome on my first try (ambrosia for the win) and it felt great. I would not been there without you.

The part about how the look of the wand call tell you about it's properties is really interesting

You can use the statues in Holy Mountain as DPS meters

my first win run was in 5 hours, where i found a wand that shoots infinite large firebolt, and i combined it with the homing spell, cheesed through all the layers

18:26 Something important here that wasn't mentioned (and that I only just recently discovered) is that you can only drink without opening your inventory if you have the setting "Click on icon switches item" enabled in the "Input" tab of the settings. If you have it off, you need to open your inventory before right clicking it. With it enabled you can drink without opening your inventory.

23:45 I just experimented that one today when I tried to destroy a firefly's nest by using a luminous drill through a wall just above it and being instantly drowned into lava. It's like this game changes its rules just to see me cry in anger... My tip : on the first two biomes, try to find a spell that can dig or even scrape the walls and use it to collect the little veins of gold everywhere. You can easily get hundreds of gold early and without risks.

There is actually a protection against Polymorph in the game; If you eat the meat of a Polymorph wizard you gain a temporary immunity to Polymorph.

Noita has a Dwarf Fortress esque learning curve, but it is so worth it

Speaking of enemy weaknesses, I wish the "progress" screen told you literally anything at all about the enemies. Even if it's just interesting flavor text.

Wholesome McQueeb is best McQueeb...I know this advice is for Noita, but it applies to life as well: "death is a part of every players journey", "in the long run it will be worth it", "the game doesn't hold your hand, but try and push forward....go slow, explore as much as you can" Brilliant

Just started the game very recently, this is gonna come in handy

I knew already most of these things from playing 140+ hours, and dying over 200 times. And yet... I am still to beat the game. And yet... at the moment, this is probably my favourite game. The frustration can come on strong, death can come fast, so there are times to quit and walk away for a bit. You do give me some hope that one day... maybe... I'll make it.

Tablets can be used to completely block up small tunnels in panic situations, and can even block projectiles. After doing so you can often kick it further down the tunnel which can still trick kill enemies at point blank range. You can even use it as a shield in open areas! It takes some practice but I've thrown it at lightning mages to block their stunlocking run-ending projectiles If you use the teleport spell at the right time in the holy mountain you can avoid triggering the collapse, which allows you to go back and edit wands (assuming you teleport back the same way)

I gave up on Noita, but your 9 hour video inspired me to try again, and I finally managed to get all the way to the end yesterday. Thank you for motivating and helping me to experience this great great game!

Polymorph maybe your worst nightmare, but it is able to help you carry an extra wand a into Holy mountain, by polymorphing in to an enemy that is able to pick up that wand, you can also use the return spell next to the portal of a holy mountain in order to drop off extra wands/items.

50hrs played. Pretty sure I'm still going to need this...

Yeah this game is ridiculously hard and sometimes can feel unfair, I think that pushes a lot of people away after a while. I got my first win after about a hundred runs mostly due to a lucky op wand, and my second win (this time without RNG wand) didn't come until just yesterday with 145 deaths on record. I think the trick to perseverance is learning to laugh at your ridiculous unexpected deaths, because if you don't then you're definitely gonna cry lmao. Also a thing you didn't mention on the second point, is that exploring areas can help you find more max health pickups, which come in really handy especially when you get to hiisi base when the enemies start hitting like trucks. Looking forward to the wand building guide!

Hi! new player, 20 runs in, just figured out how to make wands that do not explode in my face 1 click in, thank you for this video!

Thank you for this! I completely appreciate your personal approach to this tutorail and how soft spoken you are

Well... guess I’ll buy a 1000$ pc for a 10$ game now. Feels like the reason why this game has caught so much of my interest could be that it kinda takes the “Super difficult, here are the controls, now you’re on your own, man.” Aspect of Rain World, and the platforming of terraria and puts it in one game. And that “every pixel is stimulated” thingy makes it all feel so much more epic.

acid potion is also quite great to grab too if you feel comfortable fighting the holy temple boss as you can use the acid to punch through the floor and leave through the hole. this will prevent the temple collapse and now you can go back up and still tinker with your wands as you can explore. i havent had a chance recently as every time i had the potion a worm had already spawned steve for me, but in theory you could punch through under the pools of water in the temple and not damage the temple enough to spawn him.

If not, you might have some dynamite left before leaving the level, which you can use to dig.

(Another good use of polymorphium potion is to increase maximum flight height. If you turn into a sheep, wait for a while (it requires knowledge of about how long the potion works) fly up until you start falling down, then automatically transform back to normal form, and use flying to get higher.) Like, how do I explain. While you are a sheep, you don't use the normal flying bar. Being a sheep has it's own flying bar. So if you use that one first, transform mid air, you are already high in the air with a full flying bar. Not that useful in caves, but definitely amazing if you need to get up to somewhere high at early game or even late game

Since I've played countless hours of FPS with jump bound to the thumb button on the mouse, it was really natural to bind fly to that button instead. Kick, for me, is bound to the space bar so exactly the opposite to your configuration. What took me a while to figure out (I'm only some 26 hours of play time in now!) is that kicking is directional. Quite obvious if you think about it perhaps, but at first I assumed that kick was simply horizonally forward. And now I've learned that it's not just directional, it's also metered. Thank you!

Hello Mr. Queeb, You should do a spellbook series where you have an archive of short videos that describes each spell individually and showcases interesting interactions. You can also have overarching videos like “Modifiers for Morons” or “Projectiles for the Privy” and discuss them overall. It would act as a great resource, and even the Noita devs could point to it as a reliable source of information!

Thanks McQueeb, great first steps. Got about 15 hours of play, then realized I dont know jack squat, and found your channel trying to fix that. Appreciated

I find left and right click together to be a slightly easier way to quick transfer spells. Also kick on left shift and slot 5 on caps lock (although I don't know if you can bind that on QWERTY) gives my pinky something to do and still lets me move left while pulling out my water flask in a hurry. Great guide that I'll definitely refer some of my friends to who are looking to get into the game!
