What does this room look like to you?

[leaden steeple]

[uncut flame]

Everything freezes except certain background animations and the audio

[smoky rose]

happened to me once during my @Ascension attempts
very frustrating

[leaden steeple]

gotta use task manager

[vital sierra]

you can post the ;exceptionlog in #1019653041982537879

[leaden steeple]

idk how to check

[vital sierra]

;exceptionlog

[jade heron]

The exception log contains details about where in the code the exception occurred, useful to debug an error. It may be found in the game's root folder, along with the executable. Launching the game clears the file; if you have done so after getting the exception, you will need to trigger the error again to regenerate the log. If, even after doing so, the exception log doesn't exist, it's useful to provide this.

Default Steam path on Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World
In Steam, you may open the game's folder with Right Click -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Browse..

To send the file, drag and drop it into the Discord window. Do not copy and paste the contents of the file.

-# The file provides the function which threw the exception in the code, as well as all of its ancestors down to the main. If the exception is generated by a mod or combination, typically they will be near the top, marked as modifying the recently-called functions. Disabling them may fix the issue.

[frosty tartan]

aww

[leaden steeple]

oh dangit

i already restarted the game

[dark coyote]

I feel like it's a common crash and is known already

[frosty tartan]

[leaden steeple]

[vital sierra]

[dark coyote]

Well I guess you have an area to look at least

[uncut flame]

How do you feel about info regarding Inv being in the 1 campaign you refused to play lol

[leaden steeple]

wait what

the info about inv is in metropolis?

i was off track you guys soiled 😭

[uncut flame]

I mean, you said "now I know", so you learned something regarding Inv in the 1 campaign you refused to play lmao

[leaden steeple]

oh yea

i mean metropolis is still a desert,,,

[dark coyote]

how so?

[leaden steeple]

theres barely any food there besides creatures

[winged cedar]

I rewrote the riddle to be better and it doesn’t spoil but I will not share it with you because you should experience the official really terrible riddle

[leaden steeple]

[winged cedar]

After you figure it out I’ll share it

[leaden steeple]

sure

[winged cedar]

Also what was your perserverance route

[frosty tartan]

8 attempts perseverance jumpscare👻

[winged cedar]

Wow

I did one attempt where I got to sky islands with 7 karma but I forgot to wait out the seizures

So I fell to my death

That was my first attempt

[leaden steeple]

i didnt know how the disease worked so i just started eating every time it happened

[winged cedar]

Ah

[leaden steeple]

i assumed eating fixes it

[frosty tartan]

yep

the food req increases each cycle tho

[leaden steeple]

yep

.25 for each popcorn is crazy

[frosty tartan]

at some point you wouldn't be able to cure it

[leaden steeple]

[mystic seal]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/958418404769943572/1054878029102456914/PoorCaringGuanaco.gif

(Funny story. This gif was made as an April Fools' Day prank for the game's devlog. The sprite was left in the game afterwards, and MSC Team decided to add it for real in the Challenges.)

[leaden steeple]

lmao

[winged cedar]

Good luck with the riddle

It’s difficult

[leaden steeple]

ty

[winged cedar]

I’d be surprised if you figured it out with no help

[frosty tartan]

hiii

I woke up

what happened while I was asleep?

[winged cedar]

King scav

Ded

Challenges

Inv tag

[leaden steeple]

i killed the silly chieftain

[winged cedar]

Inv riddle progress maybe?

[leaden steeple]

no

[winged cedar]

Wait tell me your interpretations of the riddles

[frosty tartan]

yaaaaay

[leaden steeple]

i have no progress yet

[frosty tartan]

murder!!!

[leaden steeple]

"It does not matter whether the door is open, shut, or passed through The lock is the key and the key is the means."

theres a door and it doesnt matter where i am when i see it

[winged cedar]

Ok

Name all the types of doors in rain world

[leaden steeple]

gates

[winged cedar]

Insert that one meme of gru with a gun

[leaden steeple]

gates

[winged cedar]

That’s one

[leaden steeple]

gates

i dont think tunnels count as doors

[winged cedar]

The definition of a door is something that opens and closes

[leaden steeple]

oh then a shelter

[winged cedar]

Ok so you have two kinds of doors

That’s them

[leaden steeple]

you dont have to hold my hand 😭

[winged cedar]

Ok

I won’t

[leaden steeple]

ty

[winged cedar]

Yw

[bitter bay]

well, assuming you'd take everything entirely literally

metaphor is common enough in riddles

[winged cedar]

True

Although creatures with mouths are all doors

By my definition

So door in the desert means an orange lizard’s mouth of course

[mystic seal]

Why is an orange lizard a desert? Color scheme

[winged cedar]

Yes

Correct

And then the solution is in the orange lizard

[uncut flame]

Btw Arti has 2 complete endings :3

[dark coyote]

congrats on beating arti

can't wait to see you inving

[shrewd fractal]

suffer! :D

[neat jolt]

Already!? Nice!!

[winged cedar]

I streamed rain world with my mom

[leaden steeple]

[pastel plank]

You can find them in the game's folder in the LocalLow folder :3

Conga🐀🐀🐀🐀 on arti

[fickle pendant]

to quote Wiki (i.e. myself ):

• Saint's ending shows screenshots that have been taken during gameplay, with a single screenshot corresponding to a single level of maximum Karma.
  • The game attempts to take a screenshot at every third of a cycle length, no more often than every 12.5 seconds (under the normal physics simulation rate). If the map is visible, the player is in a Karma Gate or a Shelter, Saint is dead or is travelling through a pipe, or the current region is Rubicon, the screenshot will not be taken.
  • If there already exists a screenshot on the current Karma cap and other conditions are met, there's a 20% chance the screenshot will be overwritten, otherwise it won't be taken.

[pastel plank]

I love my random screenshots from Samaritan attempts

yes game very worth remembering

I wish I knew about it earlier and saved the ones from my first playthrough

[leaden steeple]

sure ill look at it

sry i was afk

[leaden steeple]

Rip

[fickle pendant]

Surely it's at most one screenshot from a Samaritan

[leaden steeple]

whats the path to the folder?

[fickle pendant]

AppData/LocalLow/Videocult/Rain World

[leaden steeple]

ty

[dark coyote]

Wain wowwd

[leaden steeple]

i dont see locallow in Appdata

[leaden steeple]

:3

[dark coyote]

Put it in the addess bar

Some folders are hidden

[leaden steeple]

I WAS DEAD IN ONE LMAO

[smoky rose]

✨YEEK✨

[leaden steeple]

[uncut flame]

Absolute cinema

[leaden steeple]

true

[frosty tartan]

[leaden steeple]

lol what the hell

[frosty tartan]

karcap4 :3

[dark coyote]

Adventurer gaming?

[frosty tartan]

Yep

[smoky rose]

[uncut flame]

If you didnt see earlier, Arti has 2 complete endings :3

[leaden steeple]

pearl

[leaden steeple]

[smoky rose]

[frosty tartan]

[leaden steeple]

Idk where i should go rn

[dark coyote]

The campaign is finished at this point

[leaden steeple]

You guys said theres another ending

[smoky rose]

certain conditions have to be met to get it

[leaden steeple]

As a ciziten of 5P i want him to tell me where inv is

[leaden steeple]

Dangit

[dark coyote]

You can guess it

[leaden steeple]

No not really

[dark coyote]

[leaden steeple]

Actually yeah

Probably the things 5p was showing

I just dont understand them...

[smoky rose]

it's not that complicated

[leaden steeple]

Is it????

[pastel plank]

yea there is always a single one but it's a different one every attempt :3

[mystic seal]

If you want a hint: ||You can't get both endings on the same save file. You've gone too far now to turn back.||

[leaden steeple]

aw man

[leaden steeple]

my head hurts from this riddle

not really but its hard

[dark coyote]

It's unfair

[dark coyote]

Does that look special to you?

[leaden steeple]

yes

[dark coyote]

How so?

[leaden steeple]

its in a room that is completely a dead end

with its own music

and is completely different

[dark coyote]

[fickle pendant]

would you want the raw graffiti files for ease of reading

[leaden steeple]

YES PLEASE

[fickle pendant]

both of them

[leaden steeple]

oh my god thats so much easier

i cant make anything out of the 1st graffity except for "eg"

🥚

also tried like this???

im not getting anything out of this lmao

ill try putting it in numerical order

also nothing

[dark coyote]

Eg

[leaden steeple]

eg

[leaden steeple]

[winged cedar]

I mean, Eg

[leaden steeple]

i forgot to say

i had a dream last night where inv was on slugsenses all the time and i was trying to chase them

😭

[smoky rose]

what if he really is

[winged cedar]

Oh my god

[leaden steeple]

[dark coyote]

Any ideas on the riddle?

[leaden steeple]

nop

except that weird graffiti

[smoky rose]

what do you think it says?

[winged cedar]

Charades: Impossible edition

[leaden steeple]

a bunch of letters and numbers

[winged cedar]

Which numbers?

And which letters?

[smoky rose]

numbers, Mason. what do they mean?

[winged cedar]

The person who drew the graffiti is not good at writing probably

[leaden steeple]

507ANHJIIIL

[dark coyote]

[winged cedar]

I think the Artificer’s drone is kind of stupid. He does literally nothing

Except opening the gate

[fickle pendant]

You're missing the one between N and H

[winged cedar]

Are you on PC or console?

[fickle pendant]

See the video like 20 messages ago with Input Display visible

[winged cedar]

Ok

[bitter bay]

little hint for this if you want it: ||it's all letters.||

[leaden steeple]

ah ty

[leaden steeple]

pc

[low berry]

the riddle is getting riddled!

[uncut flame]

The riddler

[leaden steeple]

SOFANTHJIIIL

SOFA!

[uncut flame]

🛋️

Sofa

[low berry]

sofa

[winged cedar]

What if the answer was sofa

[low berry]

it was the sofa all along

[winged cedar]

7 or 8 inscribed bricks of a pillar

Is actually 8 sofas

[winged cedar]

But you are close

Maybe

Idk

I just looked up the riddle

Because I didn’t know about the DC server

Like a year ago

Now I will protect the riddle

[leaden steeple]

i started trying to do fpc in terraria 😭

[winged cedar]

Fpc?

Oh wait what terraria mods do you use

[leaden steeple]

fast pole climb

[leaden steeple]

idk just ones my friend told me to get

[winged cedar]

Oh yeah that is instinctive

[winged cedar]

Calamity?

[leaden steeple]

yeah thats one of them

why?

[winged cedar]

Good

Calamity is good

Im at DoG

[leaden steeple]

cool

[leaden steeple]

this is the closest i have to all letters... but it just looks off

this is pain

[leaden steeple]

google lens isnt really good at reading the text either

interesting how i can see JAN and THU in there though

its still probably wrong anyway though

oh.

the graffiti file name quite literally has the solution

:(

sofantheil then

[uncut flame]

:(

[leaden steeple]

but now i have no idea where to go from here again

ill try typing in sofantheil somewhere in game

im gonna guess its gonna be where the graffity is at but ill not try yet

NO WAY

i got inv

REAL

[mystic seal]

"7 or 8 inscribed bricks of a pillar"

[leaden steeple]

what is that supposed to mean

[mystic seal]

You figured out how to unlock them, right?

[leaden steeple]

yep

????????

[mystic seal]

I realize you have been tricked by DMS.

[leaden steeple]

why am i hearing random voices in game

[uncut flame]

The pillar always appears after a dark storm :3

[leaden steeple]

dms?

why

[uncut flame]

DMS adds an "inscribed brick"

[mystic seal]

Solution to the riddle: ||There are either 7 or 8 buttons on the main menu, depending on whether or not you have Expedition enabled.||

||DMS adds one, though.||

[leaden steeple]

oh

wait so

expedition was supposed to be enabled?

[uncut flame]

No

[mystic seal]

7 or 8

[leaden steeple]

ah

i mean

even without dms its still 7

[mystic seal]

The rest of the riddles are for the name, so you bypassed them by reading it off the train car. The other method is to ||figure out what the name refers to|| and then ||look it up in the Chart™️or something similar||

[leaden steeple]

the chart™️?

[mystic seal]

My name list

[leaden steeple]

lol

MAN WHAT ARE THESE VOICES-

oh im only allowed to play inv lmao

[mystic seal]

(Sofanthiel is the only-official-in-the-ARG name of ||the Artificer's drone - the means to the door to the desert||)

[leaden steeple]

im playing inv rn

what the actual fuck is happening

theres rain, im holding some sort of egg

my food pips are fucking crazy

theres random screaming noises and stuff

[uncut flame]

Welcome to Inv

[mystic seal]

Welcome.

[uncut flame]

Dont enjoy your stay /silly

[leaden steeple]

THOSE ARE 2 RED CENTIPEDWS

WHATÚ

[mystic seal]

Fair warning, they are not designed to be fun, do not force yourself to finish their campaign

One of the first people to summon them described them as "kaizo Rain World" and I think that's pretty accurate.

[leaden steeple]

idk what or who kaizo is

"goodnight, gamer"

man im crying this is peak cinema

[mystic seal]

You have no idea...

[uncut flame]

kaizo is basically a thing where people try to make a thing the hardest fucking trip in a video game as it can possibly be

[leaden steeple]

oh

fair enough then lmao

[mystic seal]

This one is what game journalists think the rest of the campaigns are like

[uncut flame]

Cuphead IGN moment

[mystic seal]

only without the moments of beauty.

[leaden steeple]

lol

man this screen just looks.. odd

[mystic seal]

(I am happy to spoil you to the various jokes if you want me to)

[leaden steeple]

lol sure

also that was probably the least satisfying riddle ever 😭

[mystic seal]

all of the regions except the Citadel are redone with memes

[leaden steeple]

fitting for a very painful character

[uncut flame]

IM fine with spoiling Invs campaign I dont expect you to do it completely blind at all lmao

[mystic seal]

Well, and Submerged Superstructure.

[leaden steeple]

i could.

i just dont know what the fuck im supposed to do lol

[uncut flame]

You could. But man.

[mystic seal]

Give it a shot

[leaden steeple]

ill give it a shot

[mystic seal]

G A M E R

[uncut flame]

I pray for the person who beat Inv as their first campaign /lh

[leaden steeple]

but not rn i was awake all night installing stuff

[leaden steeple]

has anyone ever done that?

[uncut flame]

Yes

I know one person ahs but their name eludes me

[mystic seal]

Fun fact #1: ||Shelter failures are guaranteed every cycle in this campaign.||

[mystic seal]

[uncut flame]

Add the asterick :p

[mystic seal]

that is impressive

[leaden steeple]

[leaden steeple]

wtf

[mystic seal]

With a food bar like that, it'll probably help more than harm. Unless nachos are involved...

[uncut flame]

||(UH)||

[leaden steeple]

....unless WHAT IS INVOLVED???

NACHOS???

[uncut flame]

Nachos will never be the same...

[mystic seal]

Nachos will never be the same

[leaden steeple]

[uncut flame]

Trying to go to every region jsut to see what changed sounds like a fun idea but good luck sleeping in all of them

[mystic seal]

Every region has funny jokes, yeah. But good luck getting to them.

[leaden steeple]

what regions are accessible as inv?

[uncut flame]

The same ones as Surv

[mystic seal]

Everything that's accessible to - yeah

[leaden steeple]

uh

idk whats accessible to surv-

[uncut flame]

Except OE I think

[mystic seal]

yeah no OE

[leaden steeple]

in downpour at least

whats accessible to surv in downpour

[mystic seal]

No Metropolis, no Outer Expanse, yes Submerged Superstructure (though it's a dead end and there are no jokes there)

(||There is actually a reason to go to Submerged Superstructure as some characters other than the Rivulet! If you're looking for postgame stuff to do. I recommend making one trip there as the Monk and one trip there as the Saint.||)

[leaden steeple]

i heard theres an echo there for saint

idk what would be there for the monk, though

[mystic seal]

[uncut flame]

[leaden steeple]

i mean

[mystic seal]

not going to spoil you to that one

[leaden steeple]

monk is just pretty far in the future

btw is there anything extremely important i missed

besides arti ending 2

[mystic seal]

Did you ever go to Pipeyard? If not, good.

[uncut flame]

Doing Gourmand unlcoks 2 more unqiue endings with other characters

[mystic seal]

OH true

[leaden steeple]

i went to pipeyard once, died, never returned

[leaden steeple]

surv and hunter i believe

OE ending

[mystic seal]

The Submerged Superstructure thing is reasonably "important".

[leaden steeple]

uh alright

[mystic seal]

MSC adds a few pearls. ACTUALLY

[leaden steeple]

i dont think its just a few...

[mystic seal]

The Artificer

[leaden steeple]

ive seen quite a lot

especially as arti

i found 2 pearls in just M

[uncut flame]

MSC does some shit to the pearls

[mystic seal]

Did you get them read?

[leaden steeple]

nope

[uncut flame]

And I did it all by hand

Twas fun tho

[leaden steeple]

good job!

[uncut flame]

Thanks!
I had to transport all of them at minimum 3 times!

[leaden steeple]

ALL OF THEM???

[uncut flame]

Yes

[mystic seal]

Some pearls have ||slightly different dialogue for the Spearmaster. Yeah that's the worst campaign to read pearls in. I don't believe we have a server challenge for it.||

There are also ||two Saint-exclusive pearl readings||

[leaden steeple]

😭

wait i was thinking

[uncut flame]

||There was a suggestion of doing Scholar but for Arti and it was frowned on at the time||

[leaden steeple]

what happens if you swallow a colored pearl as saint then repeat the cycle

[mystic seal]

You should absolutely try reading pearls as the Artificer, though.

[leaden steeple]

does it duplicate the pearl?

[uncut flame]

:3

[mystic seal]

Yes. Sadly Looks to the Moon just reacts as if you've shown her the same pearl twice. On the other hand, ||that's the only way to get Looks to the Moon's analysis of a Rubicon egg||.

[leaden steeple]

rubicon is canon

its kinda sad how theres only 2 iterators in game though...

excluding art ofc

and pearls

[mystic seal]

Other things you haven't done yet include the Challenges (I think). Those are worth doing.

[leaden steeple]

i did do a few of them

[mystic seal]

Also, if you want a cool challenge run: are you missing any unlock tokens in the Rot as the Rivulet?

[leaden steeple]

how do i know if im missing any?

[mystic seal]

The tracker on the hibernation screen.

[leaden steeple]

oh

i would check but inv is haunting me

ig ill restart the game

[uncut flame]

Going into the expedition menu resets the campaign select

[mystic seal]

(you might want to avoid spoilers for some of the yet-to-be-unlocked challenges)

I think you can also say his name again to dismiss them.

[leaden steeple]

i dont have expedition

[mystic seal]

not sure

[leaden steeple]

these are the ones i have

[mystic seal]

(getting every last one is a good way to get more content, with some cool lore attached in the case of the Spearmaster)

[leaden steeple]

which ones the rot

oh nvm

the one with the arrow

yeah im missing 3 lol

[mystic seal]

(that's the one you're currently in)

[leaden steeple]

yes im in the rot

[mystic seal]

The Rot is fun to explore in the postgame

that's why I mention it specifically

[leaden steeple]

it wasnt fun to explore at all while playing

[mystic seal]

"""fun"""

[leaden steeple]

why would it be fun post game

[mystic seal]

well y'see

[leaden steeple]

ohhhh

[uncut flame]

No it isnt

[mystic seal]

[leaden steeple]

wait actually while im here

im curious if pebbles says smth about the moon message

or if pebbles is already dead

wait no pebbs isnt dead

what am i saying

HE DOES

i think thats why you wanted me to go back, not the unlocks

[mystic seal]

Things you have yet to do (outside of mods) that might be interesting:

• 
• Challenges
• getting the unlock tokens in the Rot specifically
• getting the rest of the unlock tokens
• Submerged Superstructure as the Monk and the Saint
• Alternate endings for the Monk and the Survivor
• Alternate endings for the Artificer
• pearl-reading as the Artificer and the Saint

[mystic seal]

No, go try for the unlocks

[uncut flame]

• Other unique endings that havent been seen yet

[leaden steeple]

not rn

i woke up yesterday 4 hours ago

wait a damn minute-

nvm that pearl isnt the one from metropolis

NVM

it does look simular to this one tho

btw you didnt spoil anything

i saw both of them

oh the music is quite literally coming from that pearl...

and that same music plays even for saint

thats just sad

[uncut flame]

Yeah

[mystic seal]

Not exactly the same. ||It's a bit damaged ||

[uncut flame]

Saint has some fun music stuff

[leaden steeple]

i know... but its still the same pearl with the same music

[mystic seal]

If you want routing advice for the secret one: ||you should probably go left from the starting point if your plan is to actually beat the game. Five Pebbles' structure is fairly hostile.||

[uncut flame]

Fun fact: Halcyon Memories is an unused Vanilla song that got reused

[mystic seal]

(the distorted version is new, though)

[leaden steeple]

true

[leaden steeple]

oh lol

can i hear it

[uncut flame]

Its the pearl but not broken

[mystic seal]

Actually a lot of MSC music is from unused vanilla songs!

[leaden steeple]

oh wow

[mystic seal]

Since it's a mod, y'know.

Even Reclaiming Entropy is an unused credits theme.

[uncut flame]

Saint's ending cutscene music is also a reused vanilla song :3

[leaden steeple]

really??

[mystic seal]

yeah that

yeah

[leaden steeple]

its one of the best songs in game

[uncut flame]

Its Theme 5 on the ost I think but renamed Reclaiming Entropy

[mystic seal]

It was originally "Theme V"

[uncut flame]

a

Uhhhh

[leaden steeple]

oh i accidentally found the old one

not the new one

[mystic seal]

(Theme I is Sundown (main menu), Theme II is Digital Sundown (Looks to the Moon), Theme III is Random Gods (Five Pebbles (General Systems Bus)))

[leaden steeple]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1E6ZjhviPQ

wait no

that is the new one

when did downpour release again?

[leaden steeple]

oh cool

[mystic seal]

Speaking of endgame Saint music. "The Cycle", the music that plays in the iterator structure in Rubicon, is new... sorta

[leaden steeple]

Huh

[leaden steeple]

i think i hear smth familiar in it

[mystic seal]

Listen to it in reverse

[leaden steeple]

no way

[uncut flame]

:3

[leaden steeple]

its just a remixed surv/monk start song

[mystic seal]

mhm

[leaden steeple]

and reversed

[mystic seal]

.

[leaden steeple]

i did not mean it like that

[uncut flame]

Pulse is a Vanilla song that was used during Saint's swim as well

[leaden steeple]

beating surv/ monk immediately goes back to hunter

aka reverse in time

[uncut flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0VbrEKXtdI

[leaden steeple]

that also sounds reversed ngl

[dark coyote]

oh! You found inv?

[mystic seal]

Past Echoes (the Echo of Rhinestones Beneath Shattered Glass) is also an unused vanilla song, which makes it the only echo song to not follow the ELSE naming scheme.

[leaden steeple]

yes

[dark coyote]

hope you have a ton of fun

[leaden steeple]

i am NOT

[dark coyote]

how far did you go?

[leaden steeple]

i hope i have an unpleasent time

[leaden steeple]

2 rooms.

then died

[dark coyote]

significant progress

[mystic seal]

||Chimney Canopy|| is the easiest region to survive in, I hear. Not that I've ever actually been there myself. My experience with the secret campaign is: make it to the ||Tower of Gains||, give up, restart, make it to Shaded Citadel Proper, get bored, play mods.

[uncut flame]

My personal path through Inv was SC-IC-CC-SI-CC-IC-OS-FA-OS-IC-SC-SL-SB-End

[leaden steeple]

why the hell do i see so many repeating areas

[mystic seal]

Oh I also made a mod to remove all of the joke voice lines if you're not really a gamer

[leaden steeple]

[uncut flame]

Because I went backwards lol

[mystic seal]

No Pebbsi

[uncut flame]

Thats my full path through Inv
I attempted SI-FA but it was not working out so I did OS instead

[mystic seal]

(as previously stated, I do not recommend visiting Five Pebbles' superstructure for any reason other than curiosity)

[uncut flame]

I did see FP on a later run but thats my first completed run :p

[leaden steeple]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1141256180283490359/1202839061824544828/giphy.gif

i know what im doing first as inv

[uncut flame]

Good luck, youre gonna need it

[mystic seal]

Know what you're getting into, ||they installed R.T.A. transformers in random platforms in The Exterior||

[uncut flame]

I need to glance at Inv TE map again....

[mystic seal]

(||The Rot is also so bad that I think climbing the Wall is just straight-up impossible.||)

[leaden steeple]

[leaden steeple]

whats R.T.A

[uncut flame]

||As far as Im aware it can be done but you NEED outside resources or to be an absolute god at aiming and movement||

Recursive Transform Array

[leaden steeple]

i forgor what that area is

[uncut flame]

The bug zappers

[leaden steeple]

o h

oh god

celese Z side type thing

[uncut flame]

Can you also guess why I couldnt do SI-FA :)

[leaden steeple]

uh no?

[uncut flame]

RTA :)

[leaden steeple]

AGAIN?????

[uncut flame]

I could probably do it now but Im scared of the hitboes lmao

[leaden steeple]

im always scared of rta

they are so loud and scary

:(

[mystic seal]

Oh, right, ||Sky Islands (Recursive Transform Arrays)||

[leaden steeple]

[mystic seal]

[SPOILERS - SKY ISLANDS - ???]
Watch thy step.

[leaden steeple]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT

[uncut flame]

Lets hope you dont use the platforms much when getting into FA or SI

[dark coyote]

spoilers

[mystic seal]

Don't worry, poles can't be electrified

[mystic seal]

True, I shouldn't say too much.

[dark coyote]

I'd recommend looking into every inv area

each is special in some way except a few

[leaden steeple]

sure

[uncut flame]

We give Few word sentences for each area as a little hint to what they are lmao

[leaden steeple]

im curious

[dark coyote]

naaaaaah! Let them cook

[dark coyote]

have fun exploring!

[leaden steeple]

not yet 😭

i still need to sleep

im so tired

[mystic seal]

We have:
||Trampoline Canopy||
||Sky Islands (Unfortunate Development)||
||The Train Station||
||Wormgrass||
||TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS||
||Nachos Will Never Be The Same||
||we forgot to render this one sorry||
||Painage System||

[winged cedar]

One more area

You forgot the exterior

That’s where I am now

[mystic seal]

yeah I excluded several

[winged cedar]

Why

[mystic seal]

Also isn't Shoreline's gimmick broken?

[uncut flame]

We also got:
||Moist||
||Dark, darker, yet darker||

[uncut flame]

Yeahh

[mystic seal]

[mystic seal]

(It's supposed to ||have the water upside-down, like in Rubicon||)

[uncut flame]

I thought it was one gimmick then I was told its another so Im not sure which one its supposed to be

[winged cedar]

We also have “The bug zapper”

And “The great flood”

And “the spaghetti cliff”

[mystic seal]

Don't forget ||Andrew's Basement||

[winged cedar]

Oh no

[uncut flame]

:3

[winged cedar]

Oh yeah

[leaden steeple]

[winged cedar]

And me!

You’ll see

[mystic seal]

Also the Void Sea. On the one hand, you will never get there legitimately. On the other, I soooooooo do not want to spoil it if you do...

[winged cedar]

Right now I’m my legit inv run I have 8 max karma and I’m in the underhang

[winged cedar]

I’ve gotten there without dev tools

It was pain to

Now I’m smarter

And I’m better at the game

[low berry]

has the riddle been riddled?

[winged cedar]

Yes

[mystic seal]

yeah

[winged cedar]

It has

[mystic seal]

they got in

[low berry]

NICE

i haven't beaten inv yet, though i could
probably won't till a chal makes me

[winged cedar]

Should I even go through the underhang as in though to go to pebbles for the wall echo?

[mystic seal]

||No, you should not.||

[winged cedar]

Ok thanks I’ll get the sky and sub echoes
