That's pretty much how long the first playthrough took me, doing some but not all of the sidequests.Monroeski said:

After that long in the room and trying all other kinds of ways to get through to the other room I did the same. I wound up searching through Youtube for videos.
Once I finally found the video, I was so pissed when they just walked right past the red blocks to the room, I didn't go back to the game for 2 days.

Figure out the pattern and make sure you have a giant sword with spin. I don't want to spoil you, anyways there is videos on youtube.abstract alien said:

I finally got him, but he just had a shit load of health. It was only one of this attacks that would actually hit me, but I'll be damned if he didn't spam the hell out of me once I had things going :lolCrakatak187 said:

It sucks that it isn't all of them =(

No, apparently due to this recent update, some now do. Here's the posts from the other thread:Yoshichan said:

Man, that will make From and Spelunker difficulties a hell of a lot easier, having the Giga Sword right from the get go. It always did seem stupid that your small blocks would carry over but not the swords you bought with the blocks, too.
Yes, you keep all your progress but you use the new character from wherever you were. Your bonuses also change based on the class and sex of your new character.Ricker said:
Big enough for a new post, here's the press release:
Man, it's more than I thought. I always wondered why I could only see half of the loading screens in my collection. Now I'm going to play again just to complete it all.
And they changed the times for Dash Circuit! Man, that was by far the toughest thing in the game. I spent a few hours getting good enough to beat those horrible times they originally had, often missing them by fractions of a second (I got 20.03 for one try when I needed 20). Can anybody find out what the new Dash Circuit times are? I won't be back home for a few hours to find out for myself.

I might do new game plus now then, I guess
GameFAQs seems to be reporting that the swords that transfer over to a new save are only the ones you bought from King Block. This makes a hell of a lot of sense. Pity that the Moon, Wing and Giga Swords aren't carried over, but King Block did have some really good swords that would still make replays a tad easier.
And the DC times for the Wing Sword seem to be 25 seconds and 65 seconds, so an extra 5 seconds for each of them, which is a cake walk for the first and an average challenge for the second.

Looks like I'm going to have to replay the game eventually for the 4th timeClipper said:

Perfect time for this patch. I cleared the game on normal a couple days ago but haven't messed with my small blocks or started a New Game+.
Sorry for the double post again, but I thought I'd share some findings I have now that I've had time to test the patch.
The swords that carry over are the 7 King Block swords. The swords seem to carry over if you have bought them in any previous save that led to the one you create the New Game + from. To prove this, I had three previous playthroughs. The first was a Normal difficulty where I messed up the From Cave quest, so I didn't buy anything from King Block. The second was a From difficulty run where I got all the swords except the Wing Sword (I later went back to this save to finish those Dash Circuits and get the sword). The third was Spelunker difficulty where I didn't bother with most sidequests and had none of the extra swords except the Giga Sword. Now, when starting a New Game + from my first Clear save, I get no swords carried over. Starting the NG+ from the Spelunker save gives me all 7 of King Block's swords, though, even though Spelunker didn't have them. Thus, it must somehow have it recorded that I did at some stage have the swords.
As for the new times for Dash Circuit, they are indeed 25 seconds and 65 seconds. You have to get under those times again even if you have a stored record which is already under the threshold . You probably have to beat your old record too in that case. The existing scores on the scoreboards have also been changed to represent the new thresholds.
I've also seen some of the new loading art screens and am getting more than the 69 I had for ages. I think I'll go for a new complete Normal run with all the swords and hopefully get the other 36 on the way.

You are meant to take the sand paths that start between two cacti.
If you still have trouble, here's a video showing the path to the temple.
Oh god, patch 1.01 is glorious.
Maybe now I'll actually finish the game instead of ragequitting at it back in May. :lol
Now to remember where my 5+ month old save is on the road to 100% so I don't have to the fucking mini-games twice for the "all swords" requirement.

They've been increased by +5 Seconds.
So First one is 20->25 for the sword requirement (doable now, esp. if you abuse the "select/quickturn" trick)
Second is 60->65 (I think? Haven't gotten that far)
Suffice it to say, they're still HARD, but they're at least not "ha ha, when hell freezes over!" now for the sword requirement.
Also: Metal Gear reference, in my Zelda clone? It's more likely than you think! (Desert Temple, the stone tablet before you get "into" the actual dungeon)
Edit: Anyone have tips for the Blockout "all clear" and Block Defense mini-games? I know you can "select trick" the Blockout to get power-ups while the ball is frozen in the select menu (making it slightly easier) but it seems I can't all-clear it without losing a ball or two. ARGH. And Defense while cool, is something I've always been terrible at: Tower Defense games. :lol

Blockout is just practice and luck. I hated it. Use the Wing Sword cause it makes you move faster and use your sword swing rarely cause it's too unpredictable. Try to go for the power-ups as soon as possible.TheSeks said:
For Block Defense: Gamefaqs has a very good FAQ that has a roadmap vor every level, telling you what to do exactly every turn. I suck at TD so I had to use it to get my platinum.
Is there news about the EU patch yet? I mailed SouthPeak but haven't heard back from them yet.

Oh man what a nice surprise, I booted this game up today and, a patch! Cool. I wish more games did this. Maybe I'll be more inspired now as Sackboy to complete this game.

BAWWWW having to patch for content updates to a creation game. BAWWWWW.
Go cry in the LittleBigPlanet thread. This is off topic.
Got past the Desert Temple. Got the Steel Hookshot. Now to explore the world and get the signs while booking and attempting not dying (trying to do a no-death run on normal for my first playthrough!) while doing the sign quest for more health/magic ups.

Oh sorry man. I didn't realize that making a joke that was related to patches, a response to a comment in this thread, was an excuse for you to backseat mod. Do you have a link to the rules so I can read them while hanging my head in shame and retiring from the internet?
Thanks to the zelda clone thread, I finally put in my 3DdotgameHeroes. Wow. Its such a LTTP clone. beat the 2nd boss and got the green orb - gotta say the bee boss gave me a lot more trouble than I thought I would have. The world seems so big. Running through the desert and got overwhelmed so I saved and quit.
Reading up a couple of posts from my post - Patch? I put the disc in and the thing didn't prompt me to patch. Its the first time ever I've put the game in. I just unwrapped it.
