Hey all

I’ve been playing a bit of Noita in my spare time, and i’m enjoying it a lot thus far.

I got to the icy floor and manage to survive pretty well. But at some point I feel like I’m not able to kill enemies fast enough anymore. And the wands I find or bought at this stage don’t seem to be good enough to put on some decent spells.

Should I be trying out some alternative strategies, or go to a different location? I know there is a lot to explore, but not sure where to start. I also don’t seem to find a lot of options for digging, even though this seems necessary if I want to go back up.

Thanks for your help!

    Some people trigger him on purpose to get early gold 😃. There are definitely ways to deal with him.

    Though his big brother is trickier later. With the right wand though they’re definitely manageable.

      Is it possible to still use the shop and configure wands and then dodge him to get out without fighting? Or not worth the risk?

        Possible but definitely trickier.

        There’s also vids out there for how to kill him with the statue…

            No worries, if it happens then worst case you start to learn his patterns.

            The tldr of the statue trick is to get him to follow you to the left of the HM, and you stand on the left side of the statue (facing left) with your cursor pointing straight up. When he’s above you kick and launch the statue straight up for an instant kill.

              Nice, I will have to try this out. I guess it does also does not work anymore when he gets upgraded?

              Is it possible to run/teleport past the upgraded version and trigger the exit to kill him, then dig back to get the perks?
