Feather/double jump

[Mutaro]

Is the feather drop from the flying lion boss thingy in the twins labyrint? Because running to him every time is very annoying:) and i really need this double jump. If it is not from this boss i am pretty clueless where to search it.

It's not...you "should" defeat this miniboss after like 6 main bosses defeated and it's pretty hard without a specific item...

Most people give up playing blind at this point cause it's too hard to figures what to do at all, but not impossible...This is a game of persistence and patience to search all the clues and make some progress...

After getting stuck for 4 hours halfway the game, i decided to check gamefaqs everytime i got stuck for more than 30 minutes since hours of backtracking would kill all the fun for me...

I'm suggest you do the same if it's getting lame, or look for non-spoiler hints?

I mean is the double jump item drop from him, this is my main goil for the moment. I have to many places that need double jumping.

In order to find the double jump, then you need to eplore the Temple of Moonlight, among other places. Also, you will not get anywhere if you look for items. You should search for puzzles to solve, and then the items will come to you.

No, you don't take nothing from him, he's just blocking the way to one of the main bosses. You have to get Serpent Staff from another miniboss. With that item, you can defeat that blue lots-of-eyes boss on the surface and get the feather in the room behind him...

Just look in the spoilers if you lost hope haha

i see thx, then i guess will track back to the first area there i killed the 2 head snake boss, maybe the staff is some where there:)

You really shouldn't look for items. You should look for puzzles. The puzzles barely ever tell you what they are hiding. Where did you find out about a double jump? Anyway, you should be looking in the temple of Moonlight.

I saw too many places where i have to jump twice in order to get to them:).

The Serpent Staff is in Temple of Moonlight

Yeah, found it, the game becomes pretty much impossible after that point without walktrough. You have to walk and hit every wall press down every step and exame everything to find switches/secret/false walls etc and even with that most of things dont make sense.

Close to impossible to progress, but the game is great none the less. Looking forward for La Mulana 2.

Almost everything does make sense. I can only think of two or three things in the entire game, where there is genuinely no hint and you'd have to randomly stumble on the solution.

The bigger dilemma for a lot of players is that the hints go from being relatively near the puzzle and presented in a relatively obvious way (e.g. on a tablet) to being somewhere completely unrelated and/or presented in a subtle way (e.g. environmental observations).

It's still possible to figure out 99% of the game if you're super observant and take good notes. And even if you're not quite that diligent, you can still get a very long way by getting subtle hints from other players when you're stuck, instead of throwing in the towel and looking up the solution to everything in a walkthrough or the wiki.

A good example of that is this topic, disregarding the times when some of the hints given were, ahem, a bit less than subtle:

I don't remember who, but I've seen someone on this forum who claims to have beaten the (much harder) original- completely blind! It is no shame to use a guide, so he must have been truthful. Also, are you taking notes? If not, it is never too late to begin, and it surprisingly doesn't take much time to go back and read the tablets in the older areas.
