how enabling downpour alongside the watcher affects it, or at all?

[peak merlin]

i’m not sure if it’s appropriate, i just entered few new watcher regions, and i’m not sure whether to have downpour enabled or not; does it add additional spawns to new regions?

i know some things are included into the base watcher, like lilypucks, dandelions, ||big jellyfish||. but does activating more slugcats changes anything in the watcher regions, or all intended changes are included regardless?

As far as Im aware Donwpour does nothing to Watcher

[peak merlin]

i thought so, but somebody told about seeing downpour lizards (with downpour enabled), i didn’t see any without msc enabled (unless i missed, or they’re rare), so i’m not sure

i wanted to play pure watcher without anything else, because i thought it wouldn’t matter but if it’s really like this and it does affect, it might make experience more interesting

I didnt have downpour enabled

There are 2 downpour lizards and a downpour spider in chimney cannopy if you know where to look :3

But other than that, it seems like everything is ||blocked off||

[peak merlin]

yeah, it seems downpour changes starting areas but it doesn’t matter almost at all. but are there special downpour spawns in the new regions (unless the answer would be spoilers, because i didn’t get far yet).

||I've seen an eel lizard, but not anything else|| I haven't even encountered a red lizard in the new regions, though I haven't thoroughly combed them yet

[peak merlin]

very weird

[peak merlin]

so does anybody knows whether lizards (possibly some other things too) are downpour exclusive or shared between dlcs like some other things

[sand parrot]

Shared

Ive played Watcher without Downpour on

[peak merlin]

did you see the lizards specifically?

[sand parrot]

Yes

[peak merlin]

okay

a bit confusing

[sand parrot]

Im scared to say too much cuz its literally Day 4 lmao

[peak merlin]

yeah lol
