Aaaand done...I've unlocked final area and Mulbruk outright saying to me that lore and puzzles don't matter from this point on.
...
Okay one last push.
After few attempts at the final boss and dying i just wanted to get it over with and didn't even bother learning the patterns of the last phase.
I just took a fairy, took a bath and a gun and done the deed.
Not as good as 1, but it is still still La-Mulana -- insane lore, insane puzzles, super non-linear map and great bosses.
Moving to Unity engine did more harm than good because outside of superficial effect it doesn't really bring in anything but performance problems...
Dark Lord Footsteps puzzle is fantastic. Brahma's puzzle is stupidly overcomplicated and made more stupid by how useless it's result is. Anubis trials i solved by just mucking around randomly.
My screenshots folder looked like this. Some good memories of working with this folder just like making notes back in the day decrypting the language of La-Mulana 1.
