Couple questions

[magic spire]

Hello! Please remove the region name from the first message here to avoid spoilers

you can spoil tag it by putting || on either side

[fossil vortex]

Apologies

[magic spire]

i think yellow things should be too, just in case

maybe not

[fossil vortex]

Just did all to be safe

[viral sleet]

Oh the slugcat question was about unlocking characters?
That should be stated in the menu itself I think

[magic spire]

easiest question to answer is that yes, there is an ending to the game
playing it specifically for that won't get you very far though, it's about exploring and discovering the world around you

[fossil vortex]

No, the sleeping menu, karma menu or whatever

[viral sleet]

Sleeping screen only has the character you are playing as

[fossil vortex]

It shows multiple others branching off though

[magic spire]

ah
those aren't tied to other slugcats, they're independent

[viral sleet]

Oh those are like achievements

[fossil vortex]

Oh I'm stupid

Could've sworn one of them was the monk though

[magic spire]

some just share names with the slugcats themselves, yeah

[fossil vortex]

Ah, okay that makes sense

[viral sleet]

Yeah. As a random fact the first version of the game only had the white slugcat, and was completely nameless

[gilded fern]

1. Can you describe "little floating things" a bit more?
2. There isn't a way to influence what the yellow things show you. If they stopped showing it for a long time, that means they've decided that they no longer want to show you this information.
3. (question was already answered by other people)
4. Yes, there is an end to to the game, and most people would consider it the win condition.

[fossil vortex]

You can touch them then they start slowly moving away, there's a lot of them all over the area

[gilded fern]

Can you quickly list out the regions you've been to so far? I have an idea of what it is, but want to make sure.

[fossil vortex]

All of them, if there is 11

No dlc has 11 I believe?

[gilded fern]

yeah that sounds about right

there might be like one missing

[fossil vortex]

What does that mean?

[gilded fern]

there are 12 regions total

so you are missing one

as in you have not been there

[fossil vortex]

Hang on maybe I'm wrong

[viral sleet]

Question: MSC aside, are you playing with Remix on or off?

If you don't know what that means, then probably off

[fossil vortex]

Off

Oh my gosh I remembered wiki saying 11

I'm missing one oof

[viral sleet]

That introduces the possibility that you slept in a region before getting thr Survivor passage

Other passages don't progress until you get the Survivor

[fossil vortex]

?

[gilded fern]

They're not talking about the passages right now

[viral sleet]

Oh

[fossil vortex]

The achievement? If so, I have it

Though I have no clue what it means

[gilded fern]

don't worry about it

[fossil vortex]

Okay then

[gilded fern]

they're only used for fast travel

and nothing else

anyways back to the floating things

they disappear after being touched, right?

once they've floated away for long enough

[fossil vortex]

Yeah

[gilded fern]

they're meant to guide players towards a certain place earlier in the game

[grim plume]

Those things doesn't really matter. But they do head somewhere you will be heading.

[gilded fern]

but you've already seen that place, so you don't need to worry about them

[fossil vortex]

How are they supposed to guide you? They just disappear after a while

[gilded fern]

the idea is that you follow the direction they move in

and just keep going that general direction until you find another one

it's not very intuitive at all

[grim plume]

They don't actually point where it is.

[gilded fern]

No, they do point towards shaded

that is their intended purpose

[fossil vortex]

But then why are there so many in shaded?

[gilded fern]

idk

I remember there being more in another region

[grim plume]

I think that's lore thing I'm not sure.

[gilded fern]

but probably just vibes

"oooo look at the spooky ghosts in the spooky region oooo"

[fossil vortex]

they do in fact point within shaded as well

[gilded fern]

oh ok, yeah I thought so

[fossil vortex]

So I'm missing something in shaded then?

[gilded fern]

I don't think so

since you've seen so many of the regions

[grim plume]

What I mean was that if you see them in one region that isn't the destination itself, it doesn't mean the thing you're looking for is in that region.

[gilded fern]

yeah, but they still point to shaded

in that region

[grim plume]

Yes they do.

I believe they linger there no?

[gilded fern]

I'm confused

[grim plume]

Like when you see them at shaded they just float around.

[gilded fern]

@fossil vortex Did you want more explicit instruction on what you're supposed to be doing right now? It's hard for me to tell

[grim plume]

At least at the very bottom of shaded.

[gilded fern]

idk I haven't gone to shaded in such a long time

[fossil vortex]

a bit spoilery

[fossil vortex]

Memory crypts or something like that?

[grim plume]

I assume you already been there?

[grim plume]

They already been to shaded so it's fine.

[fossil vortex]

Yeah

Though I couldn't explore much because I was running out of time, ran immediately to exterior

[fossil vortex]

they haven't necessarily seen that part of shaded where the yellow ghosts linger, but evidently they do

[grim plume]

So what are you actually trying to do right now.

[fossil vortex]

I'm just wondering what they did

Seems I got that so I'm good

[grim plume]

👌

Simply ask again if you have something in your mind.

[fossil vortex]

Hang on actually are the time creatures at the bottom of subterranean relevant at all?

I can't get past em

[magic spire]

they're blocking an area to explore
you can't get past them rn though, yeah

[grim plume]

They act as a wall.

[fossil vortex]

So I can get past them later?

[grim plume]

Yes.

[magic spire]

dw about it for now
it should be obvious when you can

[grim plume]

You can only get past them under certain condition.

[fossil vortex]

Aight just checking, that place just seems so cool
