You're walking to the castle with your new friend to have a chat with his father, and then suddenly BOOM DEATH FROM ABOVE GAME OVER. Hopefully you've been making a point to [[TalkToEveryone solicit information]] from the townspeople; otherwise, you probably missed a clue to Garuda's weakness.''

38->"''Nice!'' Fuckin' ''beautiful!'' The first ladder you see drops you into a pit where you get killed [[GoddamnedBats by a bird, or a bat]], whatever it is. And even if it wasn't there, I'd fall in the {{spikes|OfDoom}}. So it's basically death insurance: Let's put every kind of obstacle we can possibly think of ''in the very beginning of the game''. You know, I'm disappointed. Couldn't there have been {{lava|Pit}} on top of the spikes, with [[SharkPool fire-sharks swimming in it?]] Couldn't there be more spikes coming from the sides, ready to close in and squash me while stabbing at the same time? How 'bout some laser cannons and upside-down volcanoes? You wanna be even more efficient? Why even have the ladder? Why not just start the game ''falling down the pit?''"
