![]() Still, even with the notable issues in this early access title, it feels like Noita has so much potential. I’ve only once found the digging spell and my time with it felt like it opened up the entire game. There are a few spells that are good for digging, and even one dedicated to it, but you’re submitting to the gods of RNG to get them. The starting ‘bomb wand’ has only three charges and you’re at the whim of gravity placing those. You don’t start with wands that are good for digging. It’s very easy to spot, but the problem is accessing it. There is potentially a ton of gold in even the early levels, but it’s buried in the soil throughout the level. However, without much exploring, you aren’t going to have much to spend. The safe zones give you a chance to heal and recharge your limited-use weapons as well as spend the gold you’ve collected for upgrades. It often becomes necessary to rush toward the level exit, a large portal that takes you to a safe zone, rather than to collect more loot. However, exploring such treacherous levels usually means you’re going to be lacking health, and heals are extremely rare. Noita rewards the player for exploring and gaining more wands, spells to attach to those wands, potions, and buffs. Much more is flammable than you’d think… Living or Looting Whatever the reason, it’s something that somewhat takes away from the appeal of the game. Perhaps it’s just because of the rogue-like nature forcing you to restart without any of the loot or gold you’ve collected. This can be fairly common in emergent games where otherwise you’d rip through them having collected some good items or weapons, but here it feels somehow more punishing. While it may not be too challenging to restart the game and dive back in, there were definitely moments where dying felt like it was out of my control or impossible to avoid. This can be problematic though, in my perspective. I’ve barely made it more than a few minutes into the third level because of how easy it is to get caught up in a must-die situation. Whether it’s you stumbling onto a huge wave of enemies, falling into a giant vat of acid, a random projectile triggering a chain of explosions or just plain old being on fire, you’ll die. Player's allies (like from Plague Rats Perk) will try to attack it, but will just harmlessly phase through, leaving the other side unharmed.This game has a way of killing you in ways you just won’t see coming.Dying from a Delirium's attack will give the cause of death simply as "bite".During Early Access, Deliriums dealt melee damage.When broken, the Delirium's crystal produces Freezing Liquid and blue sand.Touch of spells can kill the creature itself as well.The crystals can sometimes spawn in completely enclosed rooms, which always have small sections of softer brickwork that can be dug out with normal spells.Because they move towards you until they reach the end of their "tether", you can use the direction between it and yourself to help find the direction of the crystal.The creature can't move far from its crystal and will abruptly stop if it would move too far from it, as though physically tethered.Earthquake and all of Touch of spells can be used as well. Acid of any kind also works well, from flasks, or spells like Acid Ball or Acid Trail. The easiest way to destroy it is to destroy a large purple crystal located nearby.Earthquake is capable of killing the Phantom itself with the falling terrain. It is unaffected by all damage, with the exception of Acid and physics damage. It can detect invisible players and will pursue them in the same fashion. On contact, they rapidly deal curse damage. ![]() Deliriums slowly float towards the player, phasing through walls and ignoring all hazards. ![]()
