Well, I made it to the part with the bridge and fell down. I refuse to try anymore, especially when you have to do those spike jumps three times. Thanks for torturing yourself like this so I don't quite feel the need.
Yeah, that room with the spikes is the worst, I don't think anyone can be blamed for giving up there (and really, isn't going "screw this, I'm done" probably the real Hell Temple experience?)
@@Kalieum Regarding the last part, I guess you're right. Not making it to the end and keeping a little of your sanity is the purpose of the hell temple.
And there it is. I'd heard about the "reward," but I'm not sure that prepared me for actually seeing it. Even in death, Hell Temple decides to screw with you one last time. Well, all that aside, congratulations! Hell Temple is conquered, and you never have to go through all that again! I enjoyed the run - as I think I've said on a couple of occasions, La-Mulana's just a super daunting game, and I"m not sure I'll ever have the time or patience to work my way through it for myself. Thanks for sticking with it to the bitter end. I know you didn't really ask for suggestions, but if you're in the mood for something shmuppy, might I recommend Ether Vapor or Astebreed? They're both well worth playing through if you haven't already...nobody does that style of cinematic shmup quite like Edelweiss. eXceed 2nd and 3rd are good fun if you're looking for something a little more "traditional," too. Welp, I'll be here and looking forward to whatever comes next! Congratulations once again on finishing this one out.
I was in the same boat - I knew what the reward was, but I'd never seen the picture before. It's certainly more in your face than you'd expect. Suggestions are always welcome, too. I'm not familiar with any of those games you recommended, so I'll be sure to give them a look. Likely won't get good enough to record a playthrough for the next video if any do take my fancy, but having more shmup options for the future is always good!
