"We stole your time, your money and your sanity" -Todd Howard gently whispers into my ear, as I once again, without success, try to refund my copy of Fallout 76

I like how it says “massive spoilers” as if a normal player would actually find this

Every other game: "Oh, Extremely Dense Rock. This is like the map border, you just can't make your way through it." Noita: "Actually, all the complex lore is somewhere in here, go hunting."

"Devoted seeker of true wisdom. Know this: we are watching you." The devs are saying they watch your videos, FF.

actually its just: "hey would'nt it be cool if we write some meaningfull sounding but totally meaningless stuff randomly all over the world and make people loose their minds about it?" "OMG thats brilliant Kevin!"

The devs are mocking us for buying their game

11:04 "I'll tell you what you get, Noita. YOU GET WHAT YOU F***ING DESER"

this seems to really draw heavily from Gnosticism as well, with the "God of Gods" being a fairly close analog to the Monad and the "Gods from the Egg" as the Demiurge. Gnosticism also means "having knowledge" in ancient Greek, and isn't that what Noita is really about? (both in-game and irl)

That 12th glyph made me think it might be the player speaking to the wizard we're controlling, because we didn't "give our free will" to the devs, but technically, if the wizard had free will before we started playing, that would mean the wizard "gave" its free will to us. Also, we were the reason that the wizard searched out and read the glyphs, which the glyphs also mention is the result of being controlled by "the true god". Also, why do your videos keep not showing up in my Subscriptions feed? :< I think you might be missing out on like a ton of views because of that

Why would the devs say they are believed to be false gods? Does the protagonist character have their own set of beliefs distinct from our knowledge? Have their words been uncovered before by other in-universe characters or societies we do not know about and have been deemed false gods? Or are they preempting what judgement would befall them by those who already believe in a true god, and have yet to be discovered in-universe?

The 3rd really says something. Besides the good price and the 10% off sale, Noita does a really good job of chewing down your time and insanity. Traversing chasms for orbs and even for these glyphs are no joke. The ambience, the loniless, and the brilliant eerie bgm contributes alot of factor to make you think how far will you go just to find the runes. It's really unnerving and a creepy experience. Imagine the time it took for these players to find these small pieces of glyphs in extremely hard to find places OR if you unintentionally see the. when you are actually just destroying your way into the earth. That is why one of the glyphs says *you can't destroy us* because that ehat must've what a good percent of players have been doing through their gameplay. Just trying to destroy the world with op wands. That thought and the thought of our free will which "they" gave us is just the devs saying that they have pretty much *anticipated what will you be doing next* and so the glyphs you see is the product of your curiosity and a nod to the devs which they knew you will eventually find. So you really only have choices, not free will. Since everything you do is under the scope of the devs and they have pretty much expected the next action you will make.

This is basically a test from devs to see how nuts with secrets can they go before it becomes incomprehensible. I think they'll add more of these in the future

Wow this game is so deep and I keep dying in the hisii base >:(

So, could it be that when we read "You have angered the Gods", that we have angered the Devs by not playing the game the intended way? By digging out of the Holy Mountain?

Perhaps the real treasure were the friends we made along the way.

One possible interpretation is that the glyphs are a message from the developers partly addressed to the character the player controls, and that the "one true god" is the human behind the screen. I think the implication is that the player character is a separate entity from us, perhaps with their own thoughts, and we, the players, are intruders. It honestly explains a significant part of the glyphs. We know that there are three primary forces in the world that hatched from three eggs: Magic, nature, and technology. I believe that we, the player, don't just wield magic: we *are* magic. It's mentioned that magic gave some sort of meaning to nature/the world, but it is also in conflict with it. This makes perfect sense with this theory imo. The creatures of Noita try to drive us out, but without us, they wouldn't really have any meaning or purpose to their existence.

What if all the spelling and grammatical errors have a hidden message?

"We stole you time and your money and your sanity" I got it. Valve wrote these messages

FANTASTIC video ma dude. I kept reveting to reading it as the Dev's voice, its super hard not to as the Bird/tech/magic stuff is not something I think to heavy on. What I will say, following the classic in game lore hunt, you have no free will, you are on a set path, you are pre-determined to the will of the game and all the lore placements. I feel, reading all that in the dev's voice, or the 'GOD' of the game, and to extend on the subject matter of the glyphs, I truely feel like I broke what the were talking about when it comes to the glyphs suggestions. Not to be up my own ass, but I went outside of their path with making 'Flash', making a new, unforseeable by the 'Gods' path by creating the adventure with Flash and making a 'new' story. Going outside of their 'In-game' story, by creating a new 'life', a new character that didn't exist in the sense he did not have that personaility or story. Horror may have existed,,, but he was nothing but a creation of the game in my own version of Noita untill I gave him his name and suddely became something the 'Gods' did not anticipate, and could not have anticipated the full extent of.

It's the dev's "We took your time, money, and sanity"

I was waiting for a video like that, i started watching your channel from when i cleared the game like 2 or 3 times and wondered what is below the massive lava lake and what the glyph above the boss room means, i wondered if there is anything more to this game than just getting past the last boss and turning yourself into gold, and i really did not expect there to be this much else in this game, so in this matter, thank you so much for having the patience and dedication to dive so deep into all of the secrets. I would think those glyphs are both a way of telling the ingame lore, as well as the developers letting us know they are keeping an eye on how the community is trying to solve the game's mysteries, and i wouldn't even see glyph number 9 as creepy, more so as comforting. I'm pretty sure the game developers have watched your videos to see how far the community has gotten into the game's secrets.

This is what I learned from this: This isn't a waste of time; because it gives fury content and views

Ok first of all: thank You for making these videos Fury! You became one of my favorite KZfaqrs/content creators over the course of Your Noita videos, much appreciated the effort! I bought this game because I liked how it looked from the 1 trailer I saw back then. Then stayed for the gameplay and the ambience of it (the music, the sound effects, the overall art direction - it's just all incredible). Then I read about the secrets and started to explore the world, I was mind-blown. And to think that the devs are still in the making process... I can't even imagine what they could put in this game later on. Based on the intro of the game and the couple of lore translations I already knew of I had the same idea as the conclusion to this video, and I have to say that this is fucking brilliant. A lore that is mystical enough to keep me interested, but at the same time keep getting reminded that it's a game made by other people. These guys at Nolla Games are incredibly talented.

I would like to throw my “theory hat” out into the ring. These Glyphs talk about how they also made “other worlds”. I think this is talking about the either the seed number you get in every play through, OR it’s talking about the “alternate dimensions” aka the worlds beyond the walls that you can burrow through to get more orbs, gold, etc and such.

Amaizing work, Fury, I was waiting for this video and you made it, as you have said.

I'm impressed by how high quality your videos are, I think you're doing wonderful work involving noita. I never would have thought the game had this many secrets

I'm astonished. This game doesn't stop surprising me. Thanks to you of course, because I would never manage to find this. Finding all this stuff... It's mind blowing. And unrelated: love the way you speak. Even for someone whom English isn't his native language, it's so easy to understand everything you say. Keep the good work man, I'll surely keep following you!

I think you pretty much hit the nail right on the head. Nice vid, man

Great video FF. How the dev's are breaking the fourth wall and hiding all this is amazing.The lore of this game just keeps on giving. I'm also curious if all the 12 texts hide a greater hidden meaning. There were some odd spelling and grammatical errors that might be intended. Maybe overlapping the star sign pictures of the gods on the texts will reveal something? Keep up the amazing work FF

I am hyped every time I see a new Noita video of your. I really enjoy it. Thank you for this hard work. Next time doing a video like this, can you please use a mod that shows x and y position on the screen?

Ugh thank you so much for this, I was trying to decipher and find the meaning of these runes I stumbled across but didn't want to take the time and effort you did.

There is probably some sort of ending associated with these secrets that hasn't been fully implemented yet, considering how bizarrely unceremonious the current official endings for the game are. Either that, or they're going for some sort of "meta-ending" where the developers effectively deliver a spiritual sequel to Zeitgeist: The Movie in video game form.

I'm really glad that the modders didn't release all the secrets, when we finally cracked the game. But there was motivation to not leak stuff, because of the offer in secrets_secrets_secrets.png :D The e-mail address mentioned in it also contained the word "knower" and some of those first modders are now "immortalized" in the game's credits. Really awesome

Love all your vids dude

I have an idea for a 'hidden quest' in this game, since you already have a fish and sun quests. What I found facinating in Noita is how the pixels interract, creating steam with water and fire, to have it pile up on the ceiling and rain down again, making effectively a mini moist biome. Why not have a quest where you destroy reality and with alchemy and magic, create a new world from scratch. effectively outplaying the gods, removing them from the equation by ending their reality and starting a new one. Perhaps creating a sphere or dirt, metal and magma and create earth on a smaller scale and at the end of the ritual, you start a new game without dying

A day with a new FuryForged video is a good day

Truly impressed by the effort you put into uncovering secrets in this game. Also what "treasure" are they talking about? A mega uber secret orb of knowledge??

I have watched a few of your videos of noita, now I can't sleep until 23 because of watching that full list of noita recommendations. the more I watch the more it shows up, I'm just digging myself into it deeper... deeper.... and deeper...

How TF do you even find this stuff

I literally bought this game because of you, I am usually not into these types of games. But your well reasoned videos on this game made me want to get into it.

I like that the first one you're kind of like "maybe this is the in game gods letting us know our actions have consequences" right like there's a lot of lore that interacts with and then you get to the second one and realize the creators are just having A Normal One about the amount of control they have over their players

This is very interesting. Also, I think the "We stole your time, your money, and your sanity." Is just the devs saying "haha you spent your money to buy this game, and now everything is cryptic and you have to decipher it all" XD

Beautiful, thank you so much for this video.

Sorry for bad english. I want to say, I'm amazed. For the first of all, You are my hero. I can't imagine, how many time You spent for searching the answers. For the second, the developers surprised me many times. This game is so huge and simple at the same time. I know, than You work with community. But still, thanks to You, we have got this great materials. So thank You, FuryForged. Very good content and I love the way You laughting :D.

This entire secret just feels like one of the devs was pissed off at the code, decided to make a little secret to vent, and ended up creating a new religion.

I think it's fascinating to consider these from the standpoint of the devs actually inserting them into the game. Just physically opening a level editor (or similar), scrolling over to a swathe of featureless, near-indestructible rock, at the bottom of the map, under a sea of lava, with no hints or landmarks in sight, and actually _placing_ there, in that pinnacle of buttfuck-nowhere, an easter egg you know full-well that someone is going to have to find. They don't _have to_ find it, of course, but they will anyway, and with such certainty that you might as well be forcing someone to do it. They must be aware of how cruel that is. Knowingly wasting that amount of the collective lifespan of humanity might be genuinely unsettling, and it feels like some of that dissonance is being channeled into the tone of the messages. "What are we doing?" "What are _you_ doing?" They almost feel like an error message you'd leave in inaccessible computer code, or something you 'd write in a diary you're sure no one will ever read. Because in this case its hard to believe that anyone ever would.

You can tell the Hempulli Oy guys thought this stuff up. This reminds me so so much of all the Environmental Station Alpha hidden stuff all over every corner of the map. Also, ESA 2 when!?!?!?!

I think your videos are underrated Thats my take

Thanks a lot, nice work!

Maybe "one true god" that devs are talking about is the game engine they created? It controls every pixel and enemy in the game, makes it burn you, shoot you, fall into lava it generated, so it could be without a doubt called a monster. They may be also a bit disappointed in it, because it still contains bugs and inconsistencies, making it imperfect creation. Just my idea about what might be going on.

My god. How much effort, time and passion were put in this by Noita community. Meanwhile my best success in 62 hours is Jungle. You rock, all of you. And Nolla games, of course.

i think the hidden glyphs are cool but really out of the way. Hiding secrets this deep means the only ppl who will ever know about this are ppl who data mine. Its great to have crazy secrets like this but dang. Unless a youtuber makes a video on this stuff i think about 30 or so ppl are the only ones who would know about this stuff in a normal setting.

fun fact: apparently behind the gold Noita statue you can find glyphs saying something like "WHAT YOU DESERVE", foreshadowing how the normal ending goes. I haven't seen it myself but that's what I've heard.

What if the ‘Creator of All’ built the end of the game, the little gear center piece, knowing our little Noitian wizard would come and destroy everything? Seeing as how the CoA hates us, life, technology, and magic, it sorta makes sense that they would make an ultimate doomsday solution.

I randomly found number 8. Thank you for completing the saga.

Great as always. Thx

I am so glad there are people with so much free time on their hands that they can figure out these absurdly hidden and convoluted secrets so I don't have to. I do kind of wonder though if this is all of them, or if there are more yet to be discovered.

I really do hope that there's an update / dlc that expands on this lore. Noita really likes to play on the theme of being a game that gives little story, but has lots of mysteries / lore to discover. Sort of like Shadow Of the Colossus.

this company has passion. i like it!

I feel like this is just the notes devs. “We stole your time, and your money, and your sanity.” Nice Easter egg.

We’ve taken your money, your time, your sanity. Stretch but what if this is a 4th wall break, the nolla could be talking about how you bought their game, and went thru the hell of finding all these lil messages? I think this one was the most apparent but I think if you read all of these like the devs are talking to you, it just, sounds so right.

I initially had the theory that the Noita was a cultist. An apocalyptic alchemical cultist. The humanoids in the game seem to recognise and hate you, maybe they know your robes and they have this big base full of weapons set up down there... Why? To stop you? I don't think the humanoids just unthinkingly attack like the monsters. I thought, from the other gold Noita at the end that you were one of many trying to turn everything into pure, holy gold (before the other endings had been revealed). Then I thought it might be a bit more abstract than that, the Noita is a concept given form (through magic), the idea that everything must come to an end. Looping over and over until you reach a success state. Or maybe a toy of the gods, maybe they're bored of this world. You seem to have their favour, the temples are designed not praise them but to aid you. They're fickle though, they surely understand a worm eating its way in is not your fault, but they don't care, like its a game to them with rules, so it doesn't matter you had no part in it. I don't fully understand how the gods and their temples play into this (the temples belong to multiple gods, who are they? All of them or only a couple?). What they all want, who they all are or who you are to them, this is further complicated by all this talk of true gods and gods of gods. We only have some info on who they might be and what they might want. I feel like this might be one of the more crucial pieces of the puzzle. I also feel like your theory that the Noita is linked somehow to the god of magic is close, closer than my theories. The character is noticeably more skilled with magic than others, having been granted the ability to modify wands. But the question of who the other god is who owns the temples we use is still out there. Has another god allied with magic?

2:00 Hell yeah, gonna pump out some electronic dance rock!

Oh my god I so freaking love this game... How they just let you know how to move and every other thing is just up to you. I love being an awesome wizard with jetpack, getting for three hours to the boss and than trying for another 4 hours to overcome lava and getting in hell.. Just to accidentaly throw your poly flask right on yourself and getting instantly killed for first shot and have to start again... I just hate it and love it.

This reminds me of Duke Nukem 3D's custom map I played. If you used no clip and went out of bounds, there was a message that said :"You're not supposed to be here." And on the other side of the same map Out of bounds message said: "You're not supposed to be here either"

I think that the one true god is not in the game but more a amalgamation of the Noita community and it’s developers. It talks about how it made everything like game devs do, but also being unhappy with it. This could either be the game is in early access and they want to change it, or it could represent the players, modding and changing the game to what they might want. It also mentions the one true god taking the characters free will. Which in this case would be us, controlling the character and making them go to these obscure areas to read these essentially 4th wall breaking glyphs. I could of course, be very wrong. But it’s all just a theory.

this is really cool

I thought of the time loop too, the Noita seems imprisoned in a land surrounded by endlessly repeating small worlds. Maybe any alchemist/witch/Shaman end up here eventually in their quest for true knowledge, as the tablets perhaps hint about previous seachers of truth ending down here, attempting to complete the work.

Oh, the false gods (that you anger by breaking rules etc) are definitely the devs, the players are the true God. The devs made the character, and because they made the world, they turned us into the god that governs this character. So the character doesn't have true free will, like they said. But it's also a message to us, the player. It's like the higher presence they feel in Chrono Trigger that is guiding them, or the player's role in Sword & Sworcery. When, one day, archaeologists find similar carvings in a cleared out river of lava, we'll know then that every pixel in our world was ALSO simulated.

I really really hope the devs are paying attention and getting ideas for future updates -- and potential DLC once the game is out of EA.

The real treasure is your patience to do all this

On one hand I feel bad about spoiling myself to secrets, but on the other I literally would never find any of this in a million years. I fancied there might be a secret inside of the surface mountain, but I didn't think to destroy the entire mountain! I walked away disappointed, while these nearly invisible runes I was just inches away from were laughing. Fool I was, I also didn't know there was an entire new zone up waiting for me to gain the ability to fly. I didn't know true flight was ever achievable. I normally love searching for secrets, but the ones in this game thoroughly bamboozled me. Can I truly be blamed for spoiling myself in defeat? Am I expected to destroy every pixel of rock in this world, so that I can see what secrets lie behind and beneath? Nah. I'm more than happy with the stuff that I found on my own(not even vaguely scratching the surface of this game's secrets). Sometimes spoilers can be part of the experience.

wow this is so cool!

So cool my dude

wow! jesus! man, u are the MASTER of this game! thats what i think.

Is it possible for any content to be in the *no go rock zone* or the passage between dimensions?

I think these where to be uncovered from the mountain alter ending as you pick up the entire world and put it in your pockets these messages are for people who try to collect the entire world I kind of wonder what happens if you do collect all the world after it's turned to gold

I think they actually a reference to all the youtubers that spend they time to show others those secrets, and bring even more people into Noita

Is that bird+egg constellation animation in the game? Its really cool but I dont recall ever seeing it in the game or trailers, is it fan work?

Something that you missed, there is music writing on the walls of the cave from the mines to the ice place, i haven't had the time to go check it out yet though.

I was awarded some of those little Finnish licorice fishies that look like rocks and taste like Nordic Awesomeness. My time was not wasted. I think I'll have another lakritsi kala now. Skoal.

I commented this on Noitavania+3 The Sorceress of the Pyramid but I'd figure I'd add it here too, sorry for spamming. so I am curious, I've just recently gotten into watching your noita videos; I've notice while watching your videos the pyramid has a indent on the top, and this game has a very heavy influence from real world medieval alchemy and it is believed that alchemy originated in Egypt, also the pyramids in Egypt were originally capped with a gold capstone, so I am curious what would happen if you filled that basin with gold some how, or would something happen if a Midas potion is emptied or created in it? P.S. Like I said I've only just started to get into noita and watching your videos if this has already been tested or discovered sorry. I just got curious cause I can't find anything about it. EDIT: so I was thinking how you would go about it and originally thought chaotic transmutation but it doesn't have gold in its chance table, so I was thinking maybe finding potions bottles that have gold powder in them because those do occasionally spawn, but I also had another idea, the gold room in the west wall, somehow create a slide to the pyramid and dig up into the gold room at an angle to drain the gold into the top of the pyramid.

Well geez... And I thought I was being a sleuth when I found a few orbs and that first bit of text....

Does it make any interesting drawing if you map the trajectory along this series of texts ?

4:25 this looks like one of those "deep-fried" memes, lol

if you combine digging bolt, luminous drill with timer, and chainsaw, you create an omega digging wand that eats through EDR like its made of mud.

The meta narrative is the devs talking to the player, that's pretty obvious. But the 'in-game' one seems to be talking about how the 'false' gods created the 'god of gods'.But if you take the intro into account, then it becomes a familiar story, who was first? the chicken or the egg? did the 'god of gods' come first or did 'false' gods create it in the first place. It fits with the cyclical nature of noita, repeating itself, infinite worlds up and down, left and right, infinite retries every new game with slight alterations (the meta being that that's how roguelikes work). Of course what falls outside that cycle of chicken & egg, of death & reincarnation is 'true knowledge', the only thing that truly persists though playthroughs (or cycles) is the player's own knowledge. Furthermore, while the authors of the glyphs insist that they 'created' everything and gave you free will. The truth is, the desperate repetitions of this betray the fact that they need you more than they want you to know. Without a 'champion', an observer to witness the work, to 'activate' it, to _refine_ it, then it might as well not be. After all, the noita is one of those unchanging constants of the world as well, the catalyst to the events that follow. The meta here seems to be that the devs need the players equally or maybe more than the players need the devs (or the devs work).

im so stoked for 1.0 my dudes.. its almost out of early access..

At this point, if they ever add new ones, I think they might mention you by name as a scribe of legend. Since, after all That's exactly what you are. Thank you.

Complex and well hidden, meaningful secrets are one of the best things devs can add to their game. It keeps the community focused and engaged on their game and it's just generally a fun way to learn more about their game's world. It's one of the reasons that made FNAF so notorious for having a complicated storyline. Bamboozling the community for many years. XD

can you make a video about stacking perks? I just got two greed perks and i took 40 gold per nugget. I want to know if it is possible to stack another perks

First message, my first thought was developers. Makes even more sense with god of gods and so on.

"Trips to where, few have been Out of thin air, upon high winds Rites begin when the sun descends Have felt what few will ever know Have seen the truth beneath the glow, Of the ebb and flow, where roots of all mysteries grow I am below, so far below The bottom line Transmitting live, transmissions rise From the depths out of controlled by" Death grips- Beware

based on the grammer of the messages, I am 100% sure that there is another message encoded within that stilted phrasing.

I wonder if some of these glyphs are written from a different point of view - written by a scrabbling part of Nature trying to force a way out while the True God of Gods looks on with pity. #7 and #10 almost feel like they're written by the world. #2 makes a lot of sense if the writer is the devs - they are the true God of Gods, but the false God of Gods is the game, and the player and the devs both serve that, expanding it. "Destroying it" could refer to, say, leaking spoilers so people won't be interested to find them themselves - but if so, the devs make clear that doing so is 'helping us.' My take on "Knower to Be," a weird set of words, is "Know-er to become in the future" - one who will know. Maybe then when Noita leaves Early Access a whole host more glyphs, lore, tablets, and even crazy stuff like the arrangement of the stars will appear, for people to find!

the glyphs could be from a version of u who ascended wile passing through the dimensions defeating the bosses and ending his or her dimension

holy shit those runes went hard

Devs: We just wasted your time looking for these messages for nothing. Community: Jokes on you, I'm into that shit

4:30 I feel like the "Real Secret" refers to the eye glyphs.

Idk why but the first 2 glyphs with all caps keep making me think about a gamer raging after you beat their ass in a game
