I've played Gods a hundred times and I've watched tons of playthroughs of it too through the years, but I've never seen anyone play as skillfully as you. I've only watched the first 20 minutes, but so far you've taken no damage (unless for time-saving purposes with a health item lying just around the corner) and you have found some bonus/secrets that I never knew existed. Hats off to you!!!

At 52:27, I remember if you're too slow to flip that switch on the left, the World Key will be pushed into the spikes, and you have to use the trap door key to obtain the bombs in order to destroy the said spikes (which will be removed later as well), thus sacrificing your tertiary fire (Hunters) for nothing, that's why the hint is important: Use your trap door key wisely

Oh hey I remember this. I played it long ago on PC - which had way worse sounds then what you have here, every gem dropped had a loud "PING" sound. I never found all the secrets but I did manage to beat the final boss, and I thought the ending where you got immortality - which just mean you get like 10 extra lives to replay the game again - was pretty lame for what was a pretty hard game, but I did enjoy it. I guess its abandonware so GoG doesn't sell it, but if they did I probably would get it there. Great video.

At 39:17, if you jump over the bomb then head up the ladder it will remove it and you can head back down and get it for the rest of the game. After power ups its very powerful. If you time it right you can drop it from the top ledge on the final boss to kill the snake each time it attacks.

Technically, these are not ALL secrets as there are many "help-bonuses" throughout the game; meaning: you have to have 01 lives or less, have half or less than half health at certain points etc. The worst thing that happened during the recording of this walkthrough was, while I was testing some alternative routes in world 1 just to make sure, I accidentally discovered a speed bonus at 11:01 (hence the detour from 11:43 to 11:49 as that monster spawn had to be postponed), so everything had to be done all over again xD This kind of game always has you wondering if you really got a 100% (like; there is a fire gem bonus at 43:07, and a water gem bonus at 45:21, but where is/and; is there/ an ice gem bonus, picked up at 44:41?) :/ xD

I remember it from Amiga, pretty game with nice artwork, but it was soooooo damn tough, I learned to hate these kind of games (used to be called arcade adventures) where there is no way to crack the solution of the level unless you play it to infinity. Go f-yourself with those invisible switches and buttons... One of notorious ones was "Shadow of the Beast" series. It was praised to high heaven back in the day, but the gameplay was downright abysmal. Any game that make itself broken and unbeatable but make you realize that much later is just bad design. On the other hand you had some bright examples that are tough but immersive and intuitive enough like say Another world or Myth.

Hey man, thanks for the comment! :D you don't have to kill the monsters in any particular order, BUT - to get the stone at 1:32 to come out, you need to reach the last lever in less than two minutes (side-note: if I remember correctly; I don't think u have to pull all the previous levers for the stone to come out, only some, but I found its best to do them in one fell swoop, both for brevity and so as u don't get confused later on regarding each combination xD)

My apologies for highjacking that video, but how does one beat the final boss on the 2nd or 3rd playthrough? I reached him, but was unable to do anything meaningful. The top left spot didnt seem to work as the worm couldn't be killed in time. But so was the bottom left spot. The worm could be ignored, but whatever he shoots out of his mouth couldn't be killed in time either. Maybe my problem was that I basically speedrunned the 2nd playthrough? On a related note: I don't understand weapon power in this game. Like at all 😅
@Koontzily7 ай бұрын
I can't give u a 100% answer as I haven't yet even BEGUN to practice the 2nd run :D however, I'll tell u my idea: From 42:25 onward, I would keep the axes and power them up on every possible occasion; this would mean some parts of the Underworld will take much longer than if u had the maces (spots like: 51:29, 56:36, 1:05:21 etc. ---> if u don't take the Familiar at 59:33, the spot at 1:09:37 will require multiple jumps to get the final axes as only fireballs will be able do break the stones). This, of course, might cost u some bonuses but what the heck, bonuses are not the point of subsequent playthroughs anyway xD ALSO (and this is important in regards to your question), the following is a quote by the user "BenWilkinson-ib5yx" who posted an interesting comment a few months ago: @BenWilkinson-ib5yx 'At 39:17, if you jump over the bomb then head up the ladder it will remove it and you can head back down and get it for the rest of the game. After power ups its very powerful. If you time it right you can drop it from the top ledge on the final boss to kill the snake each time it attacks' ...so, this is also an option for defeating the final boss after the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. playthrough (P.S. I also do not understand how weapon power works in this game, but I trust it :D)

@@Koontzily That one looks like the thief would pick it up, if that teleport key would not spawn in. I have a Gods Viewer (for showing all maps and items and events and puzzle triggers), where that second teleport key is linked to some events, so maybe this one is optional, and the gem would be the consolation prize ^.^ That viewer however does only show, how to spawn in that giant gem in Level2 and this treasure chest in Level3, not what you then have to do with them, like dropping the gem in the boss room.
@Koontzily13 күн бұрын
@@Suthriel there is a way to make a different thief jump up there (which I managed to accomplish in the un-uploaded video mentioned in my previous reply). However, he just circles the Jewel without picking it up. The Jewel is most probably there to "ensure" that the thief picks up the Teleport Key and stay on the platform. This way you are forced to use the Attract Monsters Potion (which you can easily botch by leaving the room too soon and the potion gets removed from your inventory) :)
