fair grail
#

I'm at the last circle-thingamajig, and proboably going to head out and explore the

fair grail
#

||drainage system||

raw summit
fair grail
#

Went to explore the place again, and managed to properly kill

#

||axolotl||

#

went on some more until one of the

#

||fly trap things||

#

killed me

#

im gonna run it back to that shelter I found

#

i also discovered its possible to pin creatures to the wall with a well placed spear throw

#

useful information i will take advantage of in the future

#

made it back with no issues, made sure to assassinate the

#

||venus fly trap thing||

#

will explore this place more

#

one hibernation later

#

i explored the area s'more

#

came across this....

#

||nightmare fuel tentacle thing||

#

I, the smartest slug cat around, decided to test out what it was by offering it a

#

||clacker beetle||

#

...my friend died a brutal death, but I noticed how the red creature was distracted

#

i swiftly ran into the small space, narrowly avoiding the outsmarted yet clever tentacle creature

#

upon more inspection, I found shelter and decided to hibernate

#

cycle 28 ended quickly

#

i uh...

#

||got eaten by fish||

#

wait what there's drowning in this game

#

I see how it is

raw summit
#

Oops reply ping sorry

fair grail
raw summit
#

Fun names people come up with for the critters :3

fair grail
#

oh shoot

#

i cant wait to see it after I beat(?) the game

raw summit
#

It has spoilers for every campaign so

#

Probably dont look at it until you finish everything

#

Downpour included

round bone
fair grail
#

how long can I breathe for?

#

I keep drowning

raw summit
#

Are you pressing jump underwater?™️ /genq

fair grail
#

...is that causing me to die

raw summit
#

Yeah dont do that

fair grail
#

does it like make me sprint or something?

raw summit
#

If you want to know ||it drains a quarter of your breath||

fair grail
#

OH SNAP

raw summit
#

The boost is not worth it

fair grail
#

ok ill stop doing that, and maybe I can actually swim!

#

time to run it back, again!

#

WHAT THE HELL

#

i just saw

#

i just

#

||blue eyed foxes||

#

||ooga booga buggers||

#

how many spears does it take to kill one...

#

time to find out!

#

||tribal people are chill||

#

except maybe??

#

i dont know if one of them has storm trooper aim or if it was trying to get the fruit

verbal stream
#

I hear sometiems they throw and miss as warning shots

#

Brcause otherwise they can snipe u from out of frame lol

fair grail
#

im like softlocked

#

(yes I know its been weeks)

#

i cant get past the water, and cant make the jump back to where I came from

#

im stuck

verbal stream
#

which area you are in tho

#

if you are still at the area of ur last screenshot oh

#

yea thats abit tough

#

u might need some poking around or actually getting advice to get thru that

fair grail
#

lemme go send a pic or two

#

I can't make this jump

#

And I can't swim through any of those two sides without running out of breath and drowning

#

i was told to stop pressing space, which I did, but that didn't help me too much

verbal stream
#

Hmmm

#

Is there really no other path

fair grail
#

so?

#

is there any way for me to escape?

#

<@&1137895527271379055>

frigid atlas
#

its still tricky to get through them but its not impossible

pliant vault
#

it's also kinda tricky to see them

frigid atlas
#

you should be able to see them on your map

#

You can also go back and look for different paths, the game is nonlinear

pliant vault
#

yeah, the map is a lifesaver for the drainage tunnel

frigid atlas
#

hunterthis its a lifesaver for multiple places saintofjoy

fair grail
#

thank you very much

round bone
#

It's hard to explain - ||you can sorta use your tail to swim if you wiggle a bit||.

fair grail
#

THANK YOU EVERYONE

#

i did it!!!

#

i un-softlocked myself!!

autumn fox
#

YAAYYYY!!!

fair grail
#

I found the air pockets, and became michael phelps

autumn fox
#

Oh lol, I thought you were referring to beating the game

#

But this is great too sloggers

fair grail
fair grail
#

did a little more exploring

#

circled back to the nightmare fuel creature

#

fed it another clacker beetle

#

passed peacefully

#

and went back to where I was before

#

I'm gonna swim through the sections I was in before- there were two paths I havent taken yet

#

hopefully I can find something interesting

fair grail
#

AHH

#

HOW DO I DEAL WITH THE DARN LEECHES

#

tryna go from the drain to the sewers

#

and the leeches make that process very annoying

fair grail
#

<@&1137895527271379055>

frigid atlas
#

Every obstacle has something in the area to overcome it
Experiment with stuff you find, try going different ways, explore other spots you havent been to

#

Also a hint for water areas in general if you’d like: ||try swimming in a wave motion||

pliant vault
#

another tip for water traversal: ||don't spam jump while swimming||

fair grail
#

ok.

#

i skipped a little bit.

#

after learning about the power of clacker beetles,

#

i was able to finally pass the leeches after...

#

30...

#

cycles...

#

BUT

#

i did a lil exploring

#

and now I've made it to the shaded castle

#

mb elden ring peeped in for a sec

#

shaded keep or whatever

#

and like, what the hell man

#

spiders + darkness + whole tribes of lizards + gravity

#

the developers most definitely hate the slugcat with a passion

#

but the little axolightls are cute

wanton zealot
#

Shaded citadel?

feral ledge
fringe wren
#

Oh wait nvm I found it

#

Very creative name tho monkblep

fair grail
#

made it to the underhang

#

its kinda annoying how little shelters there

#

are

#

and the big blue boys are annoying but i'm figuring out how to bamboozle them

#

i especially dislike the section where I'm right in front one of the yellow lizards

fringe wren
#

Most normal underhang experience

#

I believe slugcheer

fair grail
#

I have fallen in love

#

with the silk worms

#

i am spider man

#

i kidnapped this silk worm like 7 cycles ago and he won't be leaving

#

im bringing him back to my family

#

i dont know what I would do without silksong

#

(yes i named him)

#

even when the big tendril balls try to kill me i make sure silksong survives

fringe wren
#

Perfect name

unborn cypress
#

who doesn’t love a fricking grappling hook that revolutionizes movement

fair grail
#

Yeah

fair grail
#

ok i made it to 5 pebbles after farming some karma

#

the mechanic of 0-low gravity is neat

#

though these blue kraken monsters are annoying, so i might try to stab a few of them

#

i also made progress towards becoming the "Dragon Slayer"

#

by stabbing a yellow lizard and causing it to fall off a cliff

fair grail
#

I got to 5 pebbles unfortunate development

hardy garden
#

nice monksilly

feral ledge
#

Oh no nightpopcorn

unborn cypress
#

scary

median field
#

quite unfortunate, even

wanton zealot
#

Unlucky.

fair grail
#

i might just be the most confused man on the earth

#

I made it through all of five pebbles

#

got marked

#

and started heading west

rocky flax
#

mhm

fair grail
#

and then I got the privilege of admiring the horizon

#

the city,

rocky flax
#

through where he sent you?

fair grail
#

the sky islands,

#

and I realized that this is the best game I've played in all of 2025

#

genuinely constantly jaw-dropped

rocky flax
#

it gets better

fair grail
#

no way

feral ledge
#

Those moments that make you go slugWOH are what makes rain world awesome

fringe wren
#

Can I get a slugWOH in the chat

livid fractal
#

i got you

fair grail
#

I love it

fringe wren
fair grail
#

Im now feeling a little stuck

#

im in the sky islands

#

but I can't figure out how to continue on

#

as both paths ahead contain a jump too large for me to clear

#

ive tried placing a spear

#

but it seems impossible to me, at least

#

to place it properly

lunar warren
#

not sure if you want a direct solution, so i’ll just be vague

#

try experimenting with specific things you can pick up!

spark folio
#

the jumps are possible slugheart

#

just need the right strategy

fringe wren
#

For a more moderate hint: ||You are correct that these paths are too wide to jump across. This gap is passable, however.||

fair grail
#

alright!

#

time to lose all my karma!

fair grail
#

HAHAHA

#

I DID IT

#

I CAN FLYY

#

and then I fell off a cliff somehow

lunar warren
#

nice, you got it though! monksilly

fair grail
#

oh god i dont have enough karma for the next gate

#

this hasnt happened in eons

#

i just have to survive one more cycle...

fair grail
#

ive made it through; I am now in the farm arrays

#

currently learning how to tame one of the large deer creatures

#

and once I figure that out I still have a ways to go until my next shelter, it seems...

#

I also ate one of the mosquito's babies, and its out to get me now

#

I stabbed one large mosquito, we're at war

feral ledge
feral ledge
fair grail
#

i MADE IT PAST

#

the deer creatures

#

they're so cool

#

that aside, I made it to the next shelter, but a huge lizard is also in the shelter

#

i've tried to kill him several times, we're just chill now

#

he lets me go by if I'm quick about it

#

I went to the next area, and paid the scavengers' toll, only to find...

#

I'm in the outskirts still?

#

all that...

#

just to come back to where I started!?

#

(i got eaten by a lizard)

#

so now I'm in a cycle of getting karma and going through the gate and dying somehow

#

but the scavengers you see...

#

they wont let me pass!

#

even if I give them a pearl

#

I get stabbed

#

I think they might be getting distracted or somethin

feral ledge
spark folio
#

watch the signals they give you too
scavengers are fairly expressive and you can tell what they are going to do usually

#

but what each reaction means is something for you to discover :)

lunar warren
#

hunterthis + it's good if they see you drop it, since then they tend to pick it up faster

fair grail
#

I'm considering using my teleport (I got the "hunter" achievement thingy back in drainage system) that I've had for a while to go to looks to the moon again, because I want to see if the person there responds

#

maybe next time I cross the karma gate I'll use my map to see how its connected to the rest of outskirts so I can get back

#

and just tp to outskirts

fair grail
#

btw what if I just stab all them

#

surely they wont mind that much

spark folio
#

then they would all be dead slugsparkle

fair grail
#

oh they wont hunt me down to the ends of the universe?

lunar warren
#

not of you kill them first rmlizhappy

spark folio
#

it is impossible to eradicate scavs everywhere, but those you killed are unable to hunt you gourmkek

fair grail
#

ok wait im so confused

#

im just back in outskirts now

#

I remember being told to go 'deep into the earth' by 5 pebbles...

#

so I guess the logical conclusion would be going to drainage system and then down

#

but i dont know any ways to go down from drainage system...

fair grail
#

ok, i tp-ed to drainage syste

#

now I won't be able to play for a week...

crude trail

. . .

...is this reaching you?

A little animal, on the floor of my chamber. I think I know what you are looking for.

You're stuck in a cycle, a repeating pattern. You want a way out.

Know that this does not make you special - every living thing shares that same frustration. From the microbes in the processing strata to me, who am, if you excuse me, godlike in comparison.

The good news first. In a way, I am what you are searching for. Me and my kind have as our purpose to solve that very oscillating claustrophobia in the chests of you and countless others. A strange charity - you the unknowing recipient, I the reluctant gift. The noble benefactors? Gone.

The bad news is that no definitive solution has been found. And every moment the equipment erodes to a new state of decay. I can't help you collectively, or individually. I can't even help myself.

For you though, there is another way. The old path. Go to the west past the Farm Arrays, and then down into the earth where the land fissures, as deep as you can reach, where the ancients built their temples and danced their silly rituals. The mark I gave you will let you through.

Not that it solves anyone's problem but yours.
fair grail
#

ahh

#

I went east

#

welp, time to go back to farm arrays...

#

I think I know which path I have to take though

#

its the opposite of the one I took with the deerclops

spark folio
#

you may have been lost for awhile going that way monksweat

fair grail
#

im back from my trip

#

im gonna beat the game this weekend

#

unless it doubles in length or something
