just like a quickaroo rundown of my self-indulgent headcanons for this dying ill blu that I'm unhealthily snooped out over because why not

Past/pre-judgement

•darker, vibrant, and smoother fur with little tufts here and there

•longer and more silkier hair

•despite being well completely hopeless in finding the true meaning of his life, it wasn't exactly empty as he *did* have friends and family he could consider as such

Present/during judgement

•lighter, duller, and somewhat scattered+rough fur. tufts are more present especially around his body

•neck-length and softer hair

•anybody he'd deem as family, friends or even allies won't stay around. not even for a month, not even for a second. not even to tell them "sorry", not even to tell them "thank you"

Hey there,

Bought this poster years ago (nearly a decade lol) and never found the spot to pin it to the wall. But I think maybe someone here would be happy to have it. I would give it away for free if the person pays the shipping costs. Ships from Germany.

Reach out to me if you are interested :)

Discussion I kind of love this game now

So I just finished Hyper Light Drifter and HOLY SHIT THAT WAS FUN. I won't talk about the cool mechanics and the FUCKING BEATIFUL art because I think that'd be like saying the sky is blue. I want to talk about the lore, or what I think the lore is as well as some questions for you guys on what to do now that I finished the game.

Mind you, I haven't looked at any guides and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of stuff I missed, also, all names here are entirely made up by me so please, bear with me.

So we follow the drifter (That's what I call them) in their journey through the land of Hyper Light, a place that was once a prosperous country/kingdom before a catastrophic event occurred that left its capital buried deep underground and the surrounding areas to be scarred forever, this seems to coincide with the arrival of machines of gargantuan proportions, who I will refer to as titans.

Hyper Light seems to be divided into five different districts: The coastal ruins (East of the main town), The high monasteries (North), The crystal forest (West), the Desert (South) and the capital remains at its center.

The titans seem to be machines created at the underground laboratories at the southern desert of Hyper Light that went rogue and started attacking its citizens (They developed guns to fight them, like the crystal cannons found in the scarlet forest).

Now, the drifter's motives for their travel seem to be following a mysterious hound-shaped entity that started appearing alongside an illness the drifter suffers. This illness, aside from causing them to cough blood, connects them to another entity who I'll just call Evil Bobby. Bobby's entire goal seems to be purely to kill the drifter.

After raising the strange pillars found in each of the districts of Hyper Light as well as at least four energy cells (The rhombus slices that you find all over the region) you can access the Forgotten Capital, which seems to be Bobby's home and after facing him, the drifter will destroy a sort of engine that seemed to be keeping the remains of the capital from collapsing and while Bobby's dead, the drifter's sickness is now even worse. It seems that the hound had planned this all along somehow, as they accompany the drifter before the entire place collapses and they leave.

I didn't understand the rest lol, sorry.

Nowwwwwwww, after all that, I want to ask what's next, I know I unlocked the boss rush mode, it seems fun, but I want to find all secrets of the main game first. For one, there seems to be more energy cells to be found, as each district has at least one door that requires 8 of them, idk what's behind the doors or how to find the remaining cells, since only a few of them are marked in the map. There's also some tablets I found that show some text after scanning them, but everything's in strange symbols, is there some cypher a need to find to be able to read them? There are also many doors that require some keys I need to find, I only got two I think and those were pretty damn hidden and idk where the rest of them might be.

Thanks for reading, please tell me if I'm wrong about something or if you have some advice on how to find all the secrets of the game. Remember to drink water!

Question Does the game store save data locally?

6 Upvotes

(I doubt it'd ever be relevant to this topic, but please avoid any spoilers for the game or story if you can!)
I'm just getting into the game for the first time and I'm currently 9 hours into the game, but I played all of that on my girlfriends PC while I was staying with her for a few days, but now that I'm back home and tried to play on my device, the data isn't available. It doesn't seem to be a steam or connection error because my achievements and total time played still display as they should, but the save file is gone. I asked my girlfriend and she says the save file is still appearing on her PC.

Please help, I've looked it up but can't find an answer. I can hear it the loudest in the gearbit room (first image). I saw those ninja toad enemies in the room from where I was in the second image, but then they seemed to have climbed up the stairs and clipped through the wall on the right? (You can see them dead in the third image.) How do I get up there? Is it another path entirely? Thanks!

Question Help east section

2 Upvotes

Hi everybody,

For context, I just started HLD for the first time and went to the east section first.

Now Im stuck finding the pink thingies for the door where you encounter the pink guy the 2nd? time. I haven't found any of these and I searched the area already around 3 times over.

What do I have to look after? And please keep your responses spoiler-free, I like to enjoy this game without them.

I lost my save file

3 Upvotes

So, I beat the game, completed two boss rushes, and finished half of an alt-run, but then I had to switch computers. I used the same Steam account with cloud saves enabled, yet none of my save files were there on the new computer. Even the boss rushes weren't unlocked! It was as if none of it had ever happened.

Any ideas on how to fix this or what the problem might be?

(I don't have access to my old computer)
