But yes, find the fill lines along the sides of the durian, and use a cleaver to cut along that line. Make sure it's deep enough for you to use the blade as a lever to pry it open. Once you have 1 'pod' open, you can push down on the shell and open up the rest of the pods. Oh, please push with your hands firmly place inside the shell. Otherwise, you may bleed.

Yes, start from the bottom. Look carefully and you should find a fill "lines" from the bottom to the stem. These "lines" are identified by the discontinuity of thorn patterns on both side of the lines. Try to align your knife to one of these lines, cut in deep enough. If done correctly, the prying open of the durian can be done bare hand with little force. It is fun to eat in a group and let each to try opening a durian.

Not sure why anyone needs to go through all that trouble. It's just easier to buy the durian prepackaged in styrofoam. LOL!
