Death’s Door (XB/PC/Switch/PS) - Action RPG. IGN 9. Out now on Game Pass.

The fast travel doors let you know if an area has been completed

its not that hard to navigate and you open short cuts back to the doors easy enough so its not that hard to find things when you go back

I have no idea if I’ve unlocked a fast travel door or not….. I’ve opened up loads of doors though! :lol:

Hoping to get a little more time put into this later on today.

Yes those are what I mean, they stop glowing if you've found everything in that area

Well a couple have stopped glowing, seems like I can’t get to the west of the door yet anyhow, so I’m going to have to go east.

I think they only glow once you have beaten the game? At least, that’s when I noticed them glowing

And 100%

Into the second temple type location and now hunting for the large souls needed to get to the boss, I know a lot of you have said to go for 100% but at the minute I’ve got no motivation to see past the credits/final boss at the moment, its got some really good elements in there but I’m just finding the constant waves of enemies quite repetitive already.

Edit, of course the next room I enter is yet another defeat X waves to progress :fp:

One of the good things about the postgame is that all those encounters are already done (and you are stronger) so getting around is a lot quicker and exploration/finding things comes to the forefront

One of the few things that I don’t seem to be finding at all is the extra crystals to expand your health and magic and its not like I’ve been sticking to the path either and just following the story beats, I’ve actively been veering away from it so far to try and help myself out yet I’ve found one of each, is there only 4 of each (so one expansion for each) in the game? Having some shared elements with Zelda I was expecting you’d get at least health boosts from defeating each main boss but that didn’t happen after the first one.

At least a lot of the enemies are gone in the post game then, one thing I have found that I’m enjoying is a Thunder Hammer which I prefer to the sword so far from the little time I’ve used it.

There’s more than 4 shards each as I found 4 health ones then found a 5th so not sure what the maximum amount is. I never found any for a while then I suddenly started stumbling on them once I got a few of the abilities unlocked.

you get 8 of each shard so two boosts to health and magic. a squid man will give you clues

I’d have preferred it if health upgrades were tied to bosses like in Zelda, magic upgrades would have been fine to still find out snd about. For such a combat heavy game only getting 2 extra health isn’t exactly a lot either.

Maybe approach it a bit less Zelda, a bit more Dark Souls. Aim to never get hit.

Make sure you keep upgrading your abilities at the main desk as well, particularly speed to dodge as that’s helpful.

I can definitely see the inspiration from both series in Death’s Door, the Souls series is one that’s never interested me much so that’s why I’m probably seeing more Zelda in this than Souls. Just got the bomb spell anyway so I’ll be leaving it there for the evening. Another minor gripe I have is the backtracking at times when you have died to get back to the same bit can vary, sometimes it’s quite short but then others it feels like in Hollow Knight where you had quite a trek to get from a bench to the boss that keeps beating you. I know it sounds like I’m complaining about this a lot but I am enjoying it as well, just not as much as everyone else seems to have :lol:

Also, I suck at not getting hit :lol:

The dodge one and the power ones are the ones I’m focusing on, the other 2 I’ll probably leave on level 1 for the time being.

Don’t worry about the complaining. Everything clicked for me, but I can also see why some aspects are frustrating.

Tactical seed planting is also advisable. Save them for when you’re most likely to need them, at least until you’ve got plenty to spare.

I do plant the odd seed, been hesitant to plant a lot just in case I need them more later on. Just got to the Flooded Fortress anyway, so hopefully not far away from facing the Frog King.

the plants respawn every time the area resets so youd be as well to fill every pot you find
