I despise lizards

#

they are like immortal

#

and they oneshot me

sly sorrel
#

i have a mod that makes the camera center on the player, want me to link it?

stray lantern
#

YES please I was trying to close this post

#

to remake a new one

#

is that possible

stray lantern
#

ALSO while youre here can you help me with this

#

what is this

sly sorrel
#

thats your character? no i dea what its trying to say

stray lantern
#

haha my adventures in this please help

#

uhm

#

the little yellow guy is showing me an image

sly sorrel
#

but yeah, dont be discouraged bydeath

#

your gonna be dying a lot inthe game often in unfair ways

stray lantern
#

im not sure what to do though I am maximum karma from what the game is telling me

#

Surviving isnt an issue I just wish lizards were like killeable in a reaseonable fashion

sly sorrel
#

youll get better with experience, trust

#

i also sucked really bad when istarted (and still do btw)

#

i named all my first playthrough threads here "feeding the lizards" for a reason

stray lantern
#

my only way to deal with lizards is baiting them to the stick bugs and letting them devour the wizards

sly sorrel
stray lantern
#

it makes me kinda sad though because Id like to see if I can eat a lizard or not

sly sorrel
#

im presuming im not supposed to tell you the answer to that

stray lantern
#

im mostly wondering what this image this guy is shwoing me means

#

because Ive followed him to where he wants me to go

#

and it shows me an image of another slugcat

#

but it doesnt seem like I can interact with it?

sly sorrel
#

idk either

stray lantern
#

hmm

sly sorrel
#

im new to this game too tbh

#

(i hope i dont get smited for htis) there is a way to damage the lizards

stray lantern
#

noo I know there is a way

#

||I did search about how to throw the spear down|| and ended up being slightly spoiled about it but spoilers are not crazy for me

sly sorrel
#

game is better if you figure these things out for youself, i had a full game map when i started lol

stray lantern
#

if any soul is willing to tell me what this means I will be forever greatful

crimson halo
#

Its a slugcat :D

stray lantern
#

what does this mean

#

it looks so cool

#

but when I follow the thing it doesnt let me interact with whatever it is?

stray lantern
#

the timer in this game being so small is really not intuitive

#

like I cannot explore

#

is there a mod t oremove the timer cuz honestly this is quite obnoxious

#

theres no rain world theres me hiding the whole game and gathering the same food

crimson halo
stray lantern
#

I dont get to play the game

#

its like

#

I see this cool thing, cannot interact with it because idk if im gonna have shelter any time soon

crimson halo
#

If youd like to know, you get around ||9-13 minutes min-max on any given cycle||

#

Theres a way to know how much time you have left

stray lantern
#

it doesnt matter though thats the thing

#

because regardless of how much tiem I have left I have no idea when si the next time theres shelter

#

and if I jump wrong once its basically over

crimson halo
#

Then you explore!

#

You run around till you find a new shelter and map out the safe spots so you know where you cna hide when its time to

stray lantern
#

you cant even throw down

crimson halo
#

Dying will happen, embrace it as a chance to learn
If you dont find anything and you die to rain, now you know

stray lantern
#

the problem with dying is that the game removes progress from you if yuo die

#

with the karma system

crimson halo
#

Not exactly

#

You find new rooms

#

New creatures

#

You cna learn new mechanics and die

#

Everything is progress

#

Karma doesnt matter until youre ready to mvoe on

#

Until then, its just a system to gague how well youre consistently surviving in an area

stray lantern
#

also touchign stick bugs = death

#

its a real kick in the you survived last thign lol xd

crimson halo
#

Its knowledge :p

#

If you die, you cna figure out how to avoid it, or fight it if you wanna learn combat

#

Everything has its weaknesses

stray lantern
#

also is it like in the game design to not be able to throw down

crimson halo
#

While standing still, yea

#

You can do it with movement tricks

stray lantern
#

||well I learned about the backflip thing but I cant backflip in 90% of areas because of the small space||

crimson halo
#

Yea
You only need a couple feet of running space before you can backflip

#

While backflipping, you cna hold down to throw into the ground

#

Only down, holding any side keys will override the downthrow

stray lantern
#

yeah the issue is that I cannot do the backflip in 90% of places

crimson halo
#

Realistically, backflips arent easily possible in like, spaces with only 2-3 tiles of running space
Otherwise backflipping doesn't require much

#

You can backflip if your running and while turning, a small sound effect plays with some small particles from turning

#

It took me way too long to find the gif lol

stray lantern
#

yeah the issue I have with flip is that 90% of the time where I do actually wanna try using it because it would be useful I dont have enough space

crimson halo
#

Understandable

stray lantern
#

im lost am I not supposed to be here

crimson halo
#

Ah, the Water Tunnels
Its a wonder ful first playthrough trap slugtired

stray lantern
#

um it feels like a dead end tbh

crimson halo
#

Theres very, very few true dead ends

#

Theres mostly just placed that are harder to traverse than others

#

DS is a common first playtrhough trap

#

Are you pressing jump while underwater?

stray lantern
#

what

crimson halo
#

Pressing jump while swimming underwater
It gives you a boost but also takes away a quarter of your air time

stray lantern
#

um im having the issue where these water slugs grab me and I just die

crimson halo
#

Yea

stray lantern
#

yeah thats why im saying it feels like a dead end

#

ive died like 23 times trying to get through it and I dont think you can brute force it

#

ok thsi for sure is a dead end

crimson halo
#

Some things certainly can be bruteforced but it is harder without knowing how to deal with what's causing the deaths. That part of DS is not a dead end but is one of the harder areas to get through on a whim

If you're feeling up for it, you can always reset the campaign and not go through DS. That region kinda sucks for new players cause it heavily drops requiring knowledge of the swimming mechanics to pass

stray lantern
#

I would rather watch a youtube video on how to get through something than restarting from scratch

crimson halo
#

RW has very few actual tutorial videos that are, good

stray lantern
#

from my experience theres actually 0 tutorials

crimson halo
#

If you really wanna know, theres a way to swim quickly without using up too much air

#

Swimming in a wiggling motion (ex. Going to the left, pressing up and down in a zigzag pattern while moving left) you can build momentum from turning

#

You cant make the entire tunnels on one breath of air, theres little air pockets placed trhoughout that you cna find and stop in to rest

stray lantern
#

is there like an NDA you sign when you buy the game where you are disallowed to make youtube tutorials on how to play the game

#

I dont think ive seen such a popular game have this lack of tutorials

crimson halo
#

Most stuff you would either learn on your own through trial and error or by just, getting told what to do with spoilers

stray lantern
#

I understand that

#

its similar to noita but in noita theres like tutorials

#

I think this game is more forgiving than noita

crimson halo
#

The main gameplay loop is that you figure out what youre doing. Us helpers are here to make sure you dont ragequit the game on a stupid part :p

stray lantern
#

im like

#

ive quitted this game like

#

8 times trying to paly it

#

in the sparse of 2 years

#

because at a long distance it looks like a game id like???

crimson halo
#

The game isnt for everyone yeah
It has a much different playstyle than most games do

stray lantern
#

but Its like that noita thing where I finalyl got something going and then suddenly I died to soemthign I have no counterplay to

stray lantern
woeful pulsar
crimson halo
#

We should do that

native lichen
#

We should

stray lantern
#

I want a movement guide

crimson halo
#

HELPERS, ASSEMBLE to make a good intro-to-the-game tips video monksilly

stray lantern
#

I find it novel a game where you have all movement abilities unlocked from the start

#

I love celeste for that

crimson halo
#

Yea

#

You can do a lot of movement once you figure out how to do so

#

But like, 90% isnt required in the slightest and is only used for speed or style points monksilly

stray lantern
#

I like speed

native lichen
#

There's really no "oh I got a super cool dash ability" in Rain World, you just slowly over time learn how to use more and more movement through learning and trial and errormonksilly

crimson halo
#

Even with just the basic walking, pouncing, etc you can learn to go fast once enough time has passed to utilize it lol

stray lantern
#

I love unintended movement mechanics

#

in hollow knight my favourite is when you only have dash and u gotat get through like spike tnunels

native lichen
#

HOLLOW KNIGHT MENTIONmonksilly monksilly monksilly

stray lantern
#

pretty goo game

#

cant wait for silksong

crimson halo
#

Same

stray lantern
#

how do you swim again

stray lantern
#

zig zag?

#

everytime I perss up I just kinad speed up to the roof

crimson halo
#

Yea that happens

stray lantern
crimson halo
#

You can kinda just go to the bottom of the tunnel then press up to speed up while getting where you need to go

stray lantern
#

as far as I was able to make it by doing that

crimson halo
#

Tip: You can use the in-game map and itll only show you the geometry of rooms. Some things may not actually be geometry but simply foreground decor

stray lantern
#

this is a disgusting bait btw

#

guys this is mad evil idk

#

nvm

#

allat for a daed end

#

XDDD

#

I fucking love trying to go through a path

#

and the dumbass slug cat brushing its head against the entrance

#

and then me drowning because of it

#

so annoying

#

I think this game would be 100x more interesting and fun if I knew any form of movement tech

#

When should I learn movement tech

#

Do I play my first playthrough on survivor raw or do all characters raw first

outer kernel
#

knowing some basic movement would be very helpful at any stage of the game hunterglee

stray lantern
#

Like rn I go into areas and I have to like find 2 spears sometimes

#

The alien girl

#

In the shore to get to her

#

I had to go out of my way and backtrack to find a spear

#

😭

#

I did find a blue little guy

#

Actually I found two blue little guys

#

But I had a mission so after I found the spear I turned around

outer kernel
stray lantern
#

I did survive once by killing a bug and feeding it to those birds

#

Omg I also learned

#

Some plants are food because a scavenger wanted to attack me for some reason

#

And he hit a popcorn plant

#

At least thats what it looks like

#

So gobbless popcorn plants

#

Ohh yeah I also jumped over a cliff with those winged bugs

#

They work like a small jump boost

#

Honestly actually kinda intuitive I was like how do I get through and the bug was there and the stone was there

kindred thicket

Peak rw moment

#

All the special items and creatures given to you are definitely useful in some aspects in that region, so try to use them as much as possible so you can transfer these knowledge to other regions

stray lantern
kindred thicket

"You're scaring me!"

#

Try to befriend with them

stray lantern
#

oh my god

kindred thicket
#

🐁

stray lantern
#

this is actually really bad tho

#

cuz now I dont have a light

#

also uhm what does this mean

kindred thicket
#

Get back and find one then :)

stray lantern
#

nuh huh my light is too heavy to travel with

kindred thicket
#

It means you've lost progress on these

stray lantern
#

progress..?

#

there was progress..?

kindred thicket
#

Wait what part do you find confusing

stray lantern
#

I have no idea what these symbols mean first and foremost

kindred thicket
#

Oh

#

Then guess hunterglee

stray lantern
#

I have a 5th one now

#

I used to only have 4

kindred thicket
#

They would appear if you made progress in some way

stray lantern
#

uhm

#

I got 4 when I was in the Shore

#

Actually I got 3 when I arrived at the shore

#

then 1 at Look to the moon

#

and now one here

#

Assuming the only time ive seen them move is when I killed things I am assuming its something related to karma

#

but it doesnt make sense when I got them though

kindred thicket
#

Guess their meanings based on their names and what you've done during that day

stray lantern
#

I cant see their names

kindred thicket
#

They would appear again, for now just move on :D

stray lantern
#

ok this feels unfair

#

I need like 4 spears to make it

SB Camera Scroll mod rivflabbergasted

stray lantern
#

yeah game is pain without it

crimson halo
#

The game also kinda breaks with it but you do you

crimson halo
kindred thicket
stray lantern
#

ok I shot a kep monster on its body with a spear and it still dragged me into its den

#

the game is just fucking with me now

crimson halo
#

Imo Id wait till you beat the game before trying to use camera scroll mod. The backgrounds and scenery heavily depend on the game being screen-by-screen and theres ways to see whats on other screens

stray lantern
#

this isnt happening again

crimson halo
#

Agin, there are ways to see other screens without moving

#

If you have Remix turned on, slug senses helps a ton

stray lantern

Its jsut my personal preference to have camera scroll off for the furst playtrhough as it makes some rooms look absolutely horrendous with it on and scenery is a big part of the game

im lost and titled

this is so stupid

Maybe try the left one?

okay quit out

uhm dead end?

its like the path the yellow guy is telling me to take but theres no way to make it up

ok im searching a guide

crimson halo

A single spear is enough

this area is so dog ass

crimson halo

There are always multiple ways to go through a region

this area is just plain miserable

I mean, I thought the same until I just got good (took a few hundred hours) now I genuinely enjoy that area so it all comes down to preference and experiencemonksilly

stray lantern

I feel stupid now and see what you two are talking about now

stray lantern

there are different routes

stray lantern

im assuming this different route would require me to backtarck 4 days backwards

stray lantern

yeah no\

thats not an option then

mint aspen

ud is just gambling

and I love gambling

youll get it eventually

stray lantern

its gambling but you have a 1 % chance of actually winning anything on it

mint aspen

1% chance, infinite tries

stray lantern
#

yeah and to leave this area im gonna need level 3 karma

#

gonna have to find a way to sleep here 3 times

mint aspen

nah

and I go mad slow

crimson halo

Hint: ||Throwing objects is momentum monksilly ||

mint aspen
#

yeah ud is pain for first playthroughs

#

I think that holds true for everyone

stray lantern
#

you understand that if I can help it im never coming back here again

crimson halo
#

Understandable

#

But again, UD is not required

#

If youre having trouble, you can always find another route

#

(That does not require you having to leave this region entirely)

stray lantern
#

sunk cost falacy

#

I alread yslept here

mint aspen
#

once you get past ud it becomes a lot easier

#

cuz it was pure pain first time I tried it

#

but when I came back I first tried it

crimson halo
#

You dont have to leave the region to find an alternative route
If UD is too difficult (which it 99% of the time is for new players) you can fully go another direction

mint aspen
#

best advice I can give for ud is that you can do it

stray lantern
#

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD whoever thought it was a great idea to make walls eat you should think about not adding this next time (trying to find kind words for this design choice)

crimson halo
stray lantern
#

the mod has treated me better than the entire game so far has

crimson halo
#

The game itself has several features to help you see whats offscreen, including threat pulse indicator, listening to audio, and slug senses.
The mod is unstable and heavily changes an intentional feature that can and will irrepairable impact the gameplay experience.

#

Also, it makes a number of rooms look horrible.

sly sorrel

like the - ... i shouldnt mention that, it would be a spoiler

i thought it was a stragnge technical limitation of the game itself tbh

Yeah, RW is a difficult game, and sometimes is unfair, but it also has a lot of leniency you don't notice. You can get better, and will die less as you learn the game. And thanks to macros, I can tell you that slide jumps are 100% consistent unless your keyboard is ghosting inputs.

again, the gate is not your only option here

slate jasper
#

go explore thats also part of the game

quaint ruin
#

you can very well ignore the gate and explore the rest of Chimney Canopy to look for a different gate

slate jasper
#

if one area is too difficult move on to an easier area to refine your strategys against lizards and birds before moving on to harder areas

stray lantern
#

this is a knowledge issue

#

im dying to knowledeg checks

mint aspen
#

what

slate jasper
#

with each death you will learn?

stray lantern
#

every 30 minutes I will get to the area again

#

again I have to farm karma every time I die

slate jasper
#

try to backflip over the lizards to avoid them

#

or use pipes to lose hostiles

earnest folio
#

once you're at the lowest karma there also is no punishments for dieing, so use it as a learning opportunity.

stray lantern
#

I cant!!

#

because the gate blocks me from learning the area!!

#

I wouldnt be complainig if this wasnt the issue!!

slate jasper
#

then ask for help with your campaign.. or just uh...

#

multiplayer..

stray lantern
#

I dont have dlc

slate jasper
#

i had to run multiplayer to learn harder areas before going into my solo run and doing it there

stray lantern
#

I cant multiplayer

slate jasper
#

cant really help you then

stray lantern
#

I dont know if I a mthe most unlucky person on earth

#

but I keep HAVING to engage with lizards because they afk camp in front of my gates

earnest folio
stray lantern
#

so basically

#

the resting area right

#

is before the gate

#

theres no resting area ahead of the gate

#

the gate requires a karma above level 1 to get through

#

every time I die I have to go back, farm the karma I need which could take up to 30 minutes, and then come back to randomly die to a thing

#

repeat

#

the yellow guy is telling me this path is needed

#

because its the only direction its telling me to go

#

every time I stray away from that direction he keeps telling me wrong way

earnest folio
quaint ruin
#

In what way is it pointing this direction? What symbol is it showing?

stray lantern
#

the gate symbol

#

I dont

quaint ruin
stray lantern
#

No

#

gate symbol

quaint ruin
#

not sure what that is

stray lantern
mint aspen
quaint ruin
#

it points that symbol at dangerous creatures

stray lantern
#

im genuenly stuck here

#

even if I stray to a different area I just get jumped by an invisible lizard randomly that is camping a gate

#

not gate

#

paths

earnest folio

. . .

...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.

there are rarely situations in this game where you can't do absolutely anything. try different things

stray lantern
#

this has happened about 100 times so far

#

I held down like my life depended on it yet slugcat didnt go down im assuming somethign was blocking it?

#

nothing I coulda done

sometimes it just doesn't work out.

any guess on how Chimney connects with other parts of the map?

yeah

omg im out of that hell

earnest folio

I prefer JKL; for my right hand. Natural typing position.

stray lantern
#

thats fair

crimson halo
#

I have backspace for grab and Q for throw

Yeah

stray lantern
#

ok so in that situation

#

in my head I was watching youtube shorts but like not erally watching

#

just like braindead watching

#

and I vaguely remembered someone talking about climbing with food items

#

and in my head I was like oh my god I have a fruit

#

and I tried to do it on the spot

#

😭

#

thats why you see me throwing that rock away

#

can you imagine if I accidentalyl threw the fruit away

earnest folio
#

...

#

just another death for the count!

stray lantern
#

wtf

earnest folio
stray lantern
#

well no

#

im mostly asking why did I jump

#

ok I dont understand

#

sometimes when you die you dont die until youre off screen

#

but sometiems youre dead dead?

#

even when on screen

fleet harness
#

pay closer attention to the slugcat when you die

earnest folio
stray lantern
#

nono I understand that

#

but how come lizards shake you and shake you and yuo dont die die

#

but like these spider looking ant looking things

#

hit you once and you die even if they dont grab you

earnest folio
pale canopy
#

that just can happen

stray lantern

I fed the funny pink lizard the ant spider thing that I killed

he left

stray lantern

killing lizards is so easy what

if I have a flat surfaec

I unironically just win

stray lantern

im killin them lizards

except green lizards

I need a campaign all about killing enemies

pale canopy

Why is this forum specifically so cursed with properly doing helpering

#

First we got suggesting heavy game-altering mods, now we got DLC and mod spoilers

pale canopy
mint aspen
stray lantern
#

how do I get past these things

fleet harness
#

you just... get past them

pale canopy
#

Experiment and see what works :3

stray lantern

what the fuick is that

stray lantern
crimson halo
#

Let them figure it out
Dont tell them step by step what to do unless theyre super duper stuck and frustrated with the game

crimson halo
mint aspen
stray lantern
#

But I think theres no more path to go around

#

Also I did notice the bnnuy was friendly

#

But he just goes he seems to go through these insects

#

He has collision but getting on top of it seems super difficult

mint aspen
#

maybe try using something?

#

try to find what everything you come across does

its very helpful to know

I was like

dw guys

Ill jsut find a shelter rq

#

I did NOT find a shelter

crimson halo
stray lantern
#

so now like

#

do I play the hunter

#

or do I keep exploring in survivor

crimson halo
#

Whatever you wanna do

#

You can even play Monk if you want, tho theres not much reason too after beating Surv unless if you wanna explore with less issues

fleet harness
#

do what you want. although I'd recommend to explore the map more to prepare for hunter

stray lantern
#

I mean wtf dose hunter say

#

how tf am I supposed to survive if I cant eat lizards

#

that makes me sad

#

I wish you could eat lizards

crimson halo
#

:3

#

Nothings stopping you from trying

stray lantern
#

I have tried

#

im one lizard away from getting dragonslayser

crimson halo
#

You can always try again :p

#

Whynot monksilly

stray lantern
#

sure

crimson halo
#

Suddenly, gourmet meal monksilly monksilly

#

Are you gonna mess around with Surv or move to Hunter
Or Monk

stray lantern
#

uh

#

I wanna go talk to the alien lady

before I move on

I still have passage

perfect time to use it

WAIT IT DIDNT COUNT KILLING THE BLACK LIZARD BEUCASE I FINISHED THE GAME

#

NOT REST

#

I HAVE TO KILL 2 MORE LIZARDS

#

BUT WHO

#

I was thinking of killing the yellow lizard

#

oh I could go kill the red lizard and then go and kill the yellow lizard

#

they are kinda close..?

#

but the yellow lizard is also close to the black lizard

#

grrr

fleet harness
#

have you encountered any red lizards?

stray lantern
#

yeah

#

well

#

they are small right?

#

they are just red colour

#

same as a green lizard or pink lizard

fleet harness
#

i see

stray lantern
#

ok my mistake gang

#

I went to shore

#

didnt realize that I was gonna get camped by leviathans and birds

#

at the exit

#

my bad gang

#

time to start a new playthrough ig

#

I wanna learn movement tech tho

woeful pulsar
fleet harness
#

truee

stray lantern
#

well

#

when I finish hunter and monk I wanna do the dlc

stray lantern
#

wait I just realized

#

how am I supposed to clear hunter if I dont know where to go

#

is this supposed to be a character that u redo over and over again until you can optimize your objective

fleet harness
#

yeah but hunter is actually pretty forgiving once you're skilled enough

stray lantern
#

I mean

#

eating doesnt seem to be a problem outside of yellow lizards

#

tho tbf

#

I am only labbing ni my head

#

I have no idea how the actual run is gonna go

#

I wanna start it but im like having that ranked anxiety thing

earnest folio
stray lantern
#

whats the purpose of this little item

#

do I need to carry it around everywhere I go

#

its kind of annoying having to hold something in my hand constantly

mint aspen
#

I mean

#

I hate to say it

#

but like

#

you’ll figure it out

stray lantern
#

bruh why do I even ask things

mint aspen
#

I mean

#

I can’t think of a way to hint at it without making it too obvious

mint aspen
stray lantern
#

I know about moon

fleet harness
stray lantern
#

how the fuck do you mouth spear a lizard when they are sideways of you

#

on uneven terrain

#

this is Impossible

mint aspen
#

it’s very difficult

#

but you’ll get it with enough practice

stray lantern
#

I did practice!!

#

but ALL of the arenas includign the ones from the mods are FLAT

#

theres no way to practice it without the arena being flat

mint aspen
stray lantern
#

I dont have them unlocked

mint aspen
#

oh guh

#

neither do I rip

fleet harness
stray lantern
#

im done

#

I spent

#

2 hours trying to get past the first area

#

just to keep getting rng screwed by the long insects that shock you and you die

#

first its incredibly hard to mouth spear a creature that is not in even terrain (farm arrays has NO even terrain)

#

2nd these FUCKIGN insects that shock you that take like 10 SPEARS to kill

#

are EVERYWHERE

#

THEY ARE FASTER THAN YOU

#

TAKE LIKE 10 SPEARS TO KILL

#

CAMP AREAS THAT YOU NEED TO GET PAST

#

these insects are SO POWER crept

#

its INSANE

#

like if it was just the lizards haha skill issue

#

but its the rng insects that CAMP the paths I NEED to get through t oGET to the outskirts

#

and sometimes they dont stay in the areas i need t obe in and move away

#

and sometimes tehy literally afk on top of the gate

#

this is ridiculous

#

why are they so power crept

#

and I cant like hold those spore things that hurt them because MY HANDS ARE FULL

#

I need to bring both money for the tolls and the little green thign I spawned with

mint aspen
#

you know you can swallow a pearl right

stray lantern
#

yeah but I choose the swallow the green thign instead

mint aspen
#

alr

#

that’s prolly better

#

so uhh

#

on a scale of 1-10 how frustrated are you about these insects

stray lantern
#

20

mint aspen
#

I need to know how much info I can give you

#

oh

stray lantern
#

signle handendly killed all of the runs

mint aspen
#

alr well

#

guess I’ll give you some tips then

#

||for one, their vision is somewhat movement based||

#

||if you crouch and don’t move, they won’t see you||

#

||another thing is that if you damage the orange ones a few times when you’re decently far away||

#

||they’ll run back to their den||

#

||they also have hearing||

#

hope this helps somewhat

#

maybe I should spoiler all that

#

yeah im gonna do that

fleet harness
#

hunter initially is a significant increase in difficulty, his campaign requires lots of experience and knowledge. it's definitely not impossible though and at some point even becomes pretty forgiving

stray lantern
#

the eating part IS mad forgiving

#

I can eat lizards and MOST of the time theyre easy to kill it just so happens that farm arrays is NOT one of those areas

stray lantern
#

I decided spears were useless

#

brought a spore instead

stray lantern
#

dude

#

this shit is so fucked up

#

theres no way

#

what are the chances

#

a green insect

#

there has to be someone in my game trolling me

#

theres no way im this unlucky

#

I know the yellow lizards like communicate so that they block you

#

but that green insect HAD to show up there??

#

like NOW

#

?

#

theres NO WAY

#

this shit only happens to me

#

its every doorway with one of these insects

crimson halo
#

Theyre neutral

stray lantern
#

they literally ran into me and shocked me last time

#

I have absolutely no trust in these insects

crimson halo
#

They attack if you hang around them too long for their liking pretty much

stray lantern
#

well the issue

#

is that they chase me

crimson halo
#

Once that happens they noticably start beelining

stray lantern
#

ok so the thing is

#

I move, it attracts them

#

they chase me like a curious human inspecting an insect

#

they get annoyed cuz im around them (theyre chasing me)

#

they shock and kill me

#

I do wanna kill the lizards though

#

but every since I left the survivor playthrough I have little to no confidence on being able to kill lizards

#

I was killing lizards left and right on the survivor playthrough but for some reason it feels like lizard stun is almost non-existent on the hunter playthrough

#

so I just dont trust fighting lizards

stray lantern
mint aspen
#

the game was flipping serious

stray lantern
crimson halo
#

Nice save

stray lantern
#

is there a way to know whats in my hand when both of my hands are on top of each other

#

cuz like

mint aspen
stray lantern
#

I literally wouldve lived if it wasnt for the fact that I didnt know if I had a spear in my hand, a rock in my hand or a pearl in my hand

stray lantern
#

I tried switching the spear in my back but apparently it seems like I picked up a rock

#

quite the inconvenience

crimson halo
#

Most things react to all sources of damage
Even if a rock isnt as strong as a spear, it can still distract something

stray lantern
#

yeah but I ended up throwing a pearl cuz I didnt know

#

what I had in my hand

#

cuz it was like both hands on top of each other

mint aspen
#

o7

crimson halo
#

Upon anazlyzing, you had nothing in your hands except the pealr, so just the pearl was tossed

stray lantern
#

hm I guess I didnt hold up enough

#

or is it like food where you cant take the spear out of your back if ur moving

crimson halo
#

That should be doable while moving

stray lantern
#

hm

#

regardless still hard to see

crimson halo
#

Going forward a bit it looks like you double-pressed grab to switch items when both rock and pearl were held making the pearl the priority throw
It happens

stray lantern
#

im lsot

#

I have no idea where to go

#

I have ran into several dead ends

#

dead end

#

dead end

#

going down loops me back into this room

#

gate unreacheable

crimson halo
#

Theres way to make the jump without a flyer

stray lantern
#

what jump

crimson halo
stray lantern
#

I dont see a platform anywhere

crimson halo
#

You can stand on the edge of the platform and it moves the screen
Idk why it has to be so close to the edge of the screen

stray lantern
#

so they want me to eslide pounce throw

crimson halo
#

Eslide is overkill but sure

stray lantern
#

I legit dont see a platform

#

im assuming its like in china

crimson halo
#

I do it with 2 pounces and a doublethrow

#

You can stand on the initial platform and stand on the edge for it to move the screen

crimson halo
#

Thats the lower jump area
The upper jump area is doable solo

stray lantern
#

I have died

#

about 300 times

#

trying to get there

#

I keep getting unlucky constantly

#

its actually so frustrating

#

im NEVER leaving this place

#

its IMPOSSIBLE

crimson halo
#

The jump is tight

#

Throwing teh pearl doesnt boost you, you just toss it

#

Using a spear and rock or 2 rocks works if you pounce from the edge of the platofmr afetr tossing the pearl across

stray lantern
#

I threw a rock

crimson halo
#

Mushrooms also have a fun affect on your movement :3

crimson halo
#

Double throwboosts are just enough to make it

stray lantern
#

I cant bring mushrooms

#

my hands are full

crimson halo
#

True

#

You cna toss the pearl across then bring a rock and spear to double throwboost pounce the last jump

stray lantern
#

this agme is so unfair man

#

I DESPISE

#

SO MUCH

#

WHEN I HOLD JUMP TO POUNCE

#

AND THEN 2 SECONDS LATER I PRESS FORWARD

#

AND SLUGCAT JSUT WALKS OFF

#

PLEASEEEEEEEE MAKE INPUTS WORK PROPERLY I BEG OF YOU

#

nah

#

I keep giving pearls to scavs

#

and they keep killing me randomly

#

im done

#

im killing scavs on sight

stray lantern
#

hunter campaign is smiply not completable for me on this path

crimson halo
#

Understandable

#

Hunter is quite the jump up from Survivor

stray lantern
#

I need to do all of that and have high karma

#

its like simply not possible

#

all within 9 minutes

#

all of that and for what

crimson halo
#

At most, we suggest trying out Hunter to see how players like it, then move on if you dont wanna finish it

stray lantern
#

its not that I dont want to finish it

#

I like the design of hunter

#

its literally simply impossible for me to complete it

#

its not possible

crimson halo
#

Hunter takes a while to get used to
Its a wildly different playstyle from Monk and Surv

#

Nice level 60

stray lantern
#

its not hunter thats the issue

#

its the area that I am in that its the issue

crimson halo
#

True

#

SI sucks

#

Once you get used to it its easier but obviously, that requires being in it to get used to it

stray lantern
#

also dude

#

sky island scavs

#

are the worst

crimson halo
stray lantern
#

ok I made it to the same checkpoint without deaths

#

this is where shit gets hard though

#

because on this spawn theres tons of things that can happen

#

scavs can show up at spawn while im getting food

#

and then after that I need to make sure I speed up so that I dont die to rain and also hope for a bigger day than 9 minutes

#

after that I need to pray on the gods that cyan lizards dont camp the gates and I have to wait a whole 3 minutes for them to move

#

then I have to pray THE OTHER set of scavs dont spawn

#

and also pray for the jumps that im gonna have to do
