Any chance you could be a bit more specific on that first one? That one doesn't sound familiar to me so it's a strong possibility.
Edit: I found it! And yeah, it was that exact one. Thanks!

I really enjoyed the first one. I am absolutely loving this one.
I never played the first one for more than 30mins, and I still loved SWD2, so I certainly wouldn't say it's necessary.
No need to, really. The second one is better in every way.
No. You will not gain much by that, since Dig 2 is such a huge leap from the first game in every aspect.
However, the Wii U version of Dig 1 was really well done. It was one of the best examples of how the Wii U Gamepad expanded the playable screen estate by putting map and player stats on the Wii U Gamepad.
So stuck on 97% on temple of the destroyer. Can't work out what I've missed for the life of me.
Have 42 artefacts, 83 cogs
, all blueprints/unlocks.
Tried using the map below and literally checked everything, assume I'm missing a cog (?) but nothing at all the sites listed.

It's probably just a hidden entrance you haven't found.

I loved the first one, played through it on Vita. Though I don't think you'll be like left in the dark going straight to the second one as far as story is concerned. If you love the sequel, maybe check out the first one too. It's a great game.
All the hidden entrances are on that map, I've been to them all.
There are only 2 cogs which I'm not sure about but I think the map is slightly inaccurate and they're not actually in the wall as suggested.

I beat the game about an hour ago with all the maps 100%ed. Decided to take a crack at the endgame trials and holy shit, I beat 'em. Took like 4 deaths, but here's my successful run:

Spoilers: I somehow clear the second to last trial (
) with less than half a heart left, and then somehow manage to do the final trial without taking damage from anything.
My hands are still shaking.
Godlike game. Absolutely fantastic in every respect.

What's the reward?

Nothing worthwhile. Just pride. You get a
43rd relic, so you're at 43/42, but it doesn't do anything.
I'm not there yet, so I'll not look at the run, but congrats to the achievement!
Congrats! It took me more than 4 runs but it felt great when I finally beat it

Thanks man. Which ones were the worst for you? I feel like if it wasn't for the
rocket
Don't exit when you get to the end. Hang onto the ceiling with your grappling hook and just wait. Then go back to the beginning.
Thanks!

This was the best secret in the game for me. Such a 'oh wow' moment when I found it.
Same. The Rocket Trial is absolute hell. I only managed to get through all of them because I got lucky, had a good run early on and then did the others without much trouble.
I was disappointed I didn't find that myself, must've run through that cave 5 times before I caved and looked it up online. Facepalmed when I saw the solution.
Is this the end game % you're referring to or the % on the map? Because the map % is dependent on the region you're in.

Mario Galaxy type gameplay with mining - NOW!
They're very light on story but that doesn't mean the games aren't without character. If you're going in wanting RPG-levels of character development and lore then this ain't the game for you, but if you're fine with a little bit of charm peppered throughout an almost entirely mechanics-focused game, you'll like it.
Hmm I'm not sure. Have to go back and check later, thanks!

I've finally finished the game and I loved it. My initial run was 10 and a half hours and 63% secrets. Since then I've completed all caves and found all artifacts but I won't be going for 100% or the ultimate trial. Maybe I'll pick up the search later but now it's enough for me.

Does difficulty effect trophies unlocking? Might play it on easy if it doesnt.

It's end game stuff.
Not sure how much everybody else has, but Ive done everything but the final boss and the
. I have all the items at max level and all cogs. I currently have $
and am pretty sure I picked the world clean of ore and only died a handful of times - though who knows if I took full advantage of all the perks for maximum cash. If youre worried about running low then Id suggest you stop cashing in your ore until youre at a higher level so your bonus improves, max out the bag first and use all the perks
Edit: just saw credits. Got a gold star in wealth. $
. 11 deaths, though a few were after I stopped needing money.

Definitely the best hidden one. It took me more than five attempts if I remember correctly. I haven't 100% the game yet though, but will go back to attempt that later.

So I beat the game the first time right around 12 hours and 84% completed but I am wondering about the ending
I beat the final boss but I think I got a "bad" ending. Fen saved both myself and Rusty but was left behind. Watching the end game and the credits roll it seems like I did something wrong and this was probably the bad ending. Is there another ending?

No it doesn't, but you should be warned that it's not an easy platinum. There is a trophy for a single playthrough that requires doing a speedrun, finding all secrets, having enough gold and not dying.
Neither Dig has any kind of story or character that matter. Heist has a bit more but its pretty skippable if you dont care for it.
Don't believe there is one. I'm currently on XP level 16, and I think it would be possible to grind XP (very) slowly by repeatedly kill the enemies in the caves, even after all the enemies in the main world is gone.
There are post-game challenges.

It was probably the trickiest puzzle in the game. Well that and maybe also
guiding the rocket through the sewers near Oasis.
The only "bad" puzzle I could think of was the one in the lava dungeon
how are you supposed to know that the lava levels will eventually drop?
Around 8-16 hours, depending on your approach and play style. Speed runs can be faster than that.
I finished it in ~14 hours, but that's getting every collectible and the post-game content. People report 8-10 hours for a regular non-100% complete from what I've seen.
