Noita: No-Perk 7-Win-Streak Run on Steam Deck OLED (Tips + Tricks)
Gameplay recording of a full Noita run, on my new (refurbished) Steam Deck OLED. This is the 7th victory in a consecutive win-streak where I take ZERO perks. This video serves two purposes:
1. Demonstrate the viability of competent play on the Steam Deck for Noita: a game that was clearly designed for mouse + keyboard control first (with gamepad support as an afterthought).
2. Share a newbie-friendly and low-cheese approach to consistently win runs (or get god runs going). No need to always do the tedious BS of getting 3-4 orbs, getting the Paha Slima and Tannerkivi to get the Experimental Wand, tricking Squidward and slowly waiting for it to self-delete, etc. You just need solid fundamentals, knowledge of some key interactions, and a clear game plan.
The bottom of the thumbnail shows my endgame wand build, which I start using at around 3:08:00. Pretty mid wand in the grand scheme of things, but that's all you need to win the game! (Also I probably should've eventually moved the Ping Pong Path to the first slot, and put the Light modifier before the bubble spark trigger, but, eh, didn't really matter in the end.)
