Which lil dude do I listen to???

[mint pike]

So I've been listening to a lil yellow dude. He led me to Moon, and told me to bring neuron flies...

Then another, lil blue dude just showed up, pointing in the same direction...

But now yellow is pointing back UP????? And blue is pointing down?

I don't get why though.
I thought the yellow one directed me to Moon, then neuron fly, then back to Moon, but it's not! I just got a neuron fly.

Am I missing something?
I'm worried I'll have to redo everything if I go back down...

[amber thicket]

there are no wrong choices in rainworld, just go where you feel like you want to go to.

[mint pike]

reposting because you can see the original message scrolling through the forum :3

[crude frost]

But if I go down I’ll have to go all the way back up later

Which sounds like a messy pain :P

[amber thicket]

that's part of the journey :D

[crude frost]

im having trouble finding moon though since he's not pointing at them

[thick umbra]

if the yellow dude isn't pointing you a direction, you can also use your map to try and find the route you went.

[crude frost]

oof ok I found moon but THEY WANT MORE

ohboy

But there's also some strange yellow circles

and picking them up spawns a lil gold slug that points somewhere

i get the feeling that I'm hallucinating the slugs because I ate a neuron before

so now i have enough brain cells to hallucinate

[crude frost]

Ok, getting back up wasnt as difficult as I thought it would be! :P

[thick umbra]

It definitely gets easier with practice!

[crude frost]

oh gosh um how many neurons does she need????

[quartz prism]

However many you decide to bring

[thick umbra]

All of them. /j

[crude frost]

Yeah I’m definitely hallucinating

theres gold rain and a big spooky circle and then I wake up with more cycle levels

the yellow guy is STILL pointing to the neurons!!!

I've already brought moon 2 and I'm bringing 2 more now

Its my third trip :P

[quaint canyon]

sayyyyy, have you used any of the Passages yet?

[crude frost]

i haven't

does it teleport stuff with me though???

I think I have 3 passages right now cause it shows 3 completed symbols

I brought Moon 4 NUERONS

and she STILL wants more

[quaint canyon]

oooh-

if you bring... 7 neurons, making the total 12, you can get a custom role color! 🙂

(3 more than youve already brought)

[quartz prism]

Without using any passages ;3

[crude frost]

she want to be einstein or something whats up

[quaint canyon]

yeah the without passages is why i brought it up

[crude frost]

OH

[thick umbra]

You want to ping the role color to show them Kalum?

[quaint canyon]

?rolw kalumrw horcrux, enlighten

oops

?role kalumrw horcrux, enlighten

[cunning cypress]

Updated the roles for kalumrw, -Horcrux, +Enlightenment.

[quaint canyon]

boom

you could be Minty

[crude frost]

YAY

im being rewarded for my pain hehe :P

Going fast is fun tho

[thick umbra]

You also get the role to prove that you've completed a super awesome cool server challenge

The color is the added bonus

[crude frost]

I didnt even know there were server challenges hehe yayy

[pastel mountain]

rwsc propaganda

[thick umbra]

Yeah you brought four neurons really fast

[pastel mountain]

exactly!!
do something that causes you somewhere between a small and immense amount of suffering, get rewarded with funny colour

[thick umbra]

You can see fluffy here has 68/70 in their name, showing that they've completed 68 out of the seventy server challenges. An impressive feat.

Though considering this is your first playthrough if you want to avoid spoilers you might avoid the challenge sheet for now, though we can certainly help you get this challenge you're already almost complete with verified without needing to spoil other features for yourself.

[crude frost]

Verified?

Oh, also a question, at 7 neurons is that enough to help Moon?

Or is 7 just the challenge for the server?

[thick umbra]

Yes. Generally to complete server challenges there are certain screenshots / recordings you may need to show to verify you've completed the challenge. Then you'd just fill out the submission form in #challenge-info and drop the screenshots / recordings in #vanilla-server-challenges

To complete enlightenment the challenge you're close to, you have to get a screenshot of Moon with 12 neurons, and a screenshot of you resting with zero passages used if I remember correctly.

[quaint canyon]

beware of spoilers if you click into #vanilla-server-challenges

tbh you could probably post it here and then i could post a link to your proof here there

[thick umbra]

You can give moon however many neurons you want

[quaint canyon]

to bypass the risk of spoilers

[thick umbra]

Oh, that's a good idea, thanks Kalum

I'm correct with the requirements right?

[quaint canyon]

yeah sounds right

[thick umbra]

Yes, I'm already successfully advertising

[pastel mountain]

we love rwscs here in rain world discord incorporated

[quaint canyon]

so for the role

1. get 7 total neurons to gift
2. take a screenshot at moon, and then one on the sleep screen to show no passages used.
3. post both screenshots in a message here, and i can handle the rest so you can avoid spoilers 🫡

[crude frost]

Thank you :P it shall be done 🫡

[thick umbra]

I await to see and celebrate you're completion of this challenge

its not every day a first playthrough completes a server challenge

[crude frost]

What if I take 3 at once
I've been trying to do that for a bit, but having no hands for the double jump bug sucks

[pastel mountain]

that would make bringing her 7 in total a bit faster

underhang is very difficult without the bug, yeah

[crude frost]

Ok i legit just got past a majority of underhang,

I was like .5 seconds away from dying because I juked a white lizard to get into a pipe, and then almost died to the blue tentacles that was chasing it

the tentacles followed it in the moment before I actually exited the pipe

crazy lucky but I got it hehe :P

still have the rest of the journey tho :P

[pastel mountain]

it's not over yet

[crude frost]

Here I am :P

I brought 3 at once :P hehe

[amber thicket]

How many are you currently at?

[crude frost]

it should be 12 i think

Since i brought the last 3 all together?

bad second screenshot

ohmygosh

why is it so bad quality

[crude frost]

in the first screenshot you can see the 9 circling around, plus the 2 in my hands, but theres also one more not shown in ma belly

There!!!! Woooo

full show

shes not doing anything though :/

[thick umbra]

Omg you did it

[amber thicket]

good job!

now screenshot of sleep screen that you have not used any passages

[thick umbra]

Yeah congratulations!!
Its not every day you complete a difficult server challenge on your first playthrough :>

[crude frost]

HEHEHE

[thick umbra]

Oh, do be sure to show all your passage progresses as well

[amber thicket]

I would say we want to get screenwhere it shows passage proggress too

[crude frost]

Voila

[amber thicket]

:D

[thick umbra]

@quaint canyon
We have a winner

I can't remember, was this all done in one day?

[tribal dirge]

Congrats

[pastel mountain]

first playthrough rwsc

[amber thicket]

btw you need uncropped screenshot of the neurons

[pastel mountain]

has all 12 visible i believe

[crude frost]

no that screnshot is missing one thats still in ma belly

[amber thicket]

yeah, but what I just said was from the rwsc comment regarding this :D

[pastel mountain]

is it? huh
there's 12 distinct neuron tops there

[crude frost]

not one day, i did the first two several days ago, but the last two runs were 2 and 3 each so it went quick

[crude frost]

o wait yep!

alright if the yellow goober asks me for more neurons i will shove 2 blueberries down his throat

Are there any other challenges that require you to not use passages or should I use them?

:)

[pastel mountain]

no others i believe

alr, so to submit the challenge (while still avoiding spoiler channels)
https://forms.gle/XAp3gWdq9VoUVZ9j6 is the form to use
#vanilla-server-challenges message is the link to proof when it asks for that

(be careful with that link, that's a spoiler zone so you might get spoiler dumped if you go there at the wrong time)
should be able to copy the link though

[strange olive]

Good job

[crude frost]

Alright thats it

[pastel mountain]

(make sure you fill out the form btw, otherwise it can't get verified and you won't get your funny colour role)

[crude frost]

doing that right now 👍

[pastel mountain]

[crude frost]

boo

Sick! I'm enlightened!

[pastel mountain]

you've been coloured

congratulations on first playthrough challenging (it doesn't happen a ton)

[crude frost]

My playthrough's not over yet so I might get something else down maybe? :P

Actually, do I keep listening to the lil annoying dude and bringing more of the neurons?

[pastel mountain]

well you can
you don't get anything new

[crude frost]

I didn't get anything at all tho :P

[pastel mountain]

you got a name colour
and made a small yellow guy happy(?)

[crude frost]

Was expecting some thanks for giving her brain cells

[pastel mountain]

it's pretty difficult to do them without exterior knowledge of what to do, and opening the challenge sheet is basically just spoiling every mechanic ever so we tend to discourage it

[crude frost]

yellow guy very needy tbh

They're very set on the not-telling-me-why-i-need-to-do-this relationship

[amber thicket]

:D

[thick umbra]

Yellow lil guy my beloved

[strange olive]

there are quite a few you can get accidentally buuut they require a video

[thick umbra]

Yeah I do recommend waiting to do more challenges till after you've completed your first playthroughs

Though it's cool you have an interest in doing more challenges! I fully support it.

[strange olive]

[crude frost]

Im trying to follow the gold slugs but they get stuck somewhere down in the sewer area with a bunch of seaweed monsters

Getting past them is also kinda difficult cause I can't tell what exactly triggers them sometimes

I think it might be fast movements, but in the water (and on the ground where you need to somehow hop up crevices) its kind of difficult to test

[crude frost]

Ok how do you deal with the tentacle monsters??

[tribal dirge]

the seaweed ones?

carrying stuff on you usually helps with almost every creature. If you get attacked you whack them back Also observing the creature could help you to find some ideas. You are on a right track

[crude frost]

Going past them with slow movements only sometimes works

[thick umbra]

You got this, do remember that carrying throwable objects is always a good idea

[crude frost]

I found nothing there unfortunately

Maybe theres something further up? I can see on the map theres some small pathway there. I'd need to bring a double jump bug there though, and I don't see any of the gold bugs going up

[crude frost]

I can't figure out where the gold bugs are going :(

[tribal dirge]

The gold bugs?

[crude frost]

the golden slugs

they're all going towards the sewer area but once they reach the middle area just accumulate there and dont really go anywhere

[tribal dirge]

Try looking around at this point

Or just travel somewhere

[crude frost]

I really am lol, the only area I haven't explored around it is the safe area/bunker next to it

because there are 2 seaweed monsters in front of it and I cant get past them

I'm awfully tempted to at least search up how to deal with the seaweed monsters so I can get into that bunker

I'll have less walking to do between looking attempts

[tribal dirge]

Carry stuff and whack them as they grab you

Also I see that you figured out the sneaking method as well go as close as you could possibly get and then just nyoom away as fast as you can

[crude frost]

damn :P so i was doing everything right

I'm still having trouble getting to that bunker though because there's a seaweed monster outside of the water...

[thick umbra]

Have you tried continuing this strategy?

[crude frost]

yeah, and it works well enough to deal with most situations, but theres one bunker that I can't get into because a seaweed monster outside of the water always gets me before I can get in the pipe

.
I've spent my last 4 or so playthroughs looking around the sewer area for any hidden entrances... and I can't find anything

[crude frost]

the yellow guy keeps asking for more neurons, but is there really no point to listening to him anymore?

I didn't even get anything from it, someone said I was supposed to get lore?

I didn't get anything

honestly im at a loss for what to do at all now

[amber thicket]

You can decide not to listen them, or not just do how you see fit

[amber thicket]

Explore

[crude frost]

was doing that too, I'm in the shaded citadel, but I've explored all the dead ends I've found and found nothing

there were some scavengers with bombs though which is interesting

The map ends at every karma gate, maybe I need to get out of Shaded Citadel
