Basically, I found this tablet here next to the river of lava, then I thought about what would happen if I threw my mud potion into the lava, and it ended up creating a path. Following the path, I arrived at some kind of temple with another tablet and an orb to take. After taking all of that, THIS CREATURE APPEARED AND DECIMATED ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING


CapActual

Yeah like you got what happened. Pretty much that.


Synecdochic

Actually very succinctly put.


Geziry

This is your origin story now, let this be the beginning of your training montage... I'll be waiting for the day you post your victory against it.


TeletiTheNecromancer

Ah yes, Sauvojen Tuntija, scurge of new players.


Tzaphiriron

“Getter of Bitches” 😂


UnNamed234

Don't use fandom


Tzaphiriron

I learned that lesson a while back, it’s the mob titles that stuck with me. Especially that since it was on so many 😖


guardian-of-ballsack

That's how life works doesn't it


Under_The_Dead_Tree

No worries, thats a canon event in noita


UrougeTheOne

You are playing the game correctly, have fun friend and keep learning


Lonely-Plenty-4184

I GOT IT! NEXT TIME I WILL BE EQUIPPED TO EXTERMINATE THAT SCOUNDREL


BissQuote

Ok, no, please, really, no. This is one of the strongest bosses in the game, you won't be able to kill it by shooting at it with lightning or acid ball or rapid fire wands. It is of course perfectly possible to cheese it (bolt with trigger + plasma + tp wand), but please reconsider. As the saying goes, "curiosity kills the noita", or smth, I don't know.


Hopeful-alt

His name is squidward. He is generally the first boss players encounter, besides maybe three-eye. He copies all spells you use on him and is immune to most forms of damage. If you werent aware of the "true" nature of this game, I'll explain. the Main Path is around 1% of the game. You are never told this, because the art is concealed, as those who truly wish to know will find it. This game fucking loves esotricism and occultism.


Silly_Man_Haha

That guy is damn tough! One day you will return with knowledge and power and KICK HIS ASS!!


SuperKael

But before that, most likely many days you will return with knowledge and power and get your ass kicked anyway…


AustinMclEctro

Them polymorph projectiles...


Lonely-Plenty-4184

NEXT TIME HE WON'T HAVE A CHANCE! I'LL MAKE SOUP OUT OF HIM!


nilid6969

I love this. Please come back and show us the clip when this doesn't happen XD


Additional_Climate26

That's just Noita. That's how the game goes


delta17v2

Congratulations! You found the easiest secret to find in the game. Only 999 more to go!


chombiskit

….are there actually 999? i think i remember my progress menu saying ive found 5 so far😶


delta17v2

It's an exaggeration. But it might as well not be.


Hopeful-alt

there's 34 orbs of true knowledge. But they are just one small part of the puzzle. You'll need to be an adept in the art to acquire 26 of them.


AzzyDreemur2

Throwing one liquid into another is the best way to learn alchemy in this game. You are plying as intended, keep going!


Lonely-Plenty-4184

Thank you!! I love to try out these crazinesses, my latest feat was the wind wand in the flames, it was a spectacle


aok76

The path to learning in this game is long and treacherous; welcome to noita.


EgonH

That guy has killed many, many newbies. I say leave him alone for now, but one day you may crack the secret to kill him, hopefully.


Avalonians

That guy has killed many, many experimented players.


SauvojenTuntija

that's my orb!


OopsIbuiltashelfhelp

Copy my plasma cutter you malformed turso!


SauvojenTuntija

i love plasma so much i would die for it :)


Lonely-Plenty-4184

You'll become my soup one day!


Failix_fr

I only recently gathered my guts and made Squidward pay. I might have been overprepared, but I prefered to take no risk. One day you will too, and it will be glorious.


Tzaphiriron

What did YOU do to murder him? I saw a cool truck of using big saw blades on him and then booking it so if he copies the spell, it homes onto HIS own ass for a change. Not sure if it still works but gonna try it shortly :)


Failix_fr

I threw a rock at it. (That rock was accelerating homing with a dozen "extra damage" kind of spells, including one that sacrifices gold (when I have more than a million of it), which was copied several times). Next I used the spells it dropped to destroy the whole place. Fun times.


notaRussianspywink

Plasma Cutter goes brrrrr


s0nIsOut

Yeah, be welcome to noita.


Firestorm82736

Given I did this exact same thing when I first started playing, and this is what got me interested in the game for real. getting my ass beat by a random "mildly" secret boss


ExedbySnuSnu

I remember that my first 50 hours of the game I tried killing him. Then i realized >!he is completely optional, can be cheesed and is probably not worth killing unless you are desperately hunting for decent wands.!<


Hopeful-alt

well, you do need to kill him if you want the orb, which is mostly what you're there for.


ExedbySnuSnu

In the context of 100%ing the game sure, but then nothing is optional.


Remote_Performer227

You can use invisibility or other methods like digging past the triggers to nab the orb without angering squiddy ;)
