Reposted for first message spoilers

(UNMARKED SPOILERS) im already in the midgame but i might as well find somewhere to vent my thoughts

i havent explored quite as much as ive quite wanted to(i tend to take ways out as soon as i see em) but WOW this is an insane game

ive currently gotten to aether ridge for the 2rd or 3st time and every time it pulls something new and i love that... first the moths, then the evil milk, then a blizzard lizzard? that was interesting

my favorite moment, so far, was the time i met Echo Guy in shrouded coast

after his usual OAOAOA routine he teleported me to some rotted pipeyard-looking area with a mega rot lizard??? and so i took a spacetime rift out asap and it took me to a fucked up post-ruffles looking version of unfortunate development and there was a rot leviathan(which, now that i think about it, looked a lot like a void worm) and it was the scariest thing ive experienced in a game in years holy fuckinf shit

then i ended up in outer rim, wandered around, and died to the end-of-cycle

anyway i took the same path again(but with food), got to the rim, sheltered, and got to see the Throne Room

parkour was interesting(albeit annoying, thanks rot) and the mega-cyst at the end was neat looking but i didnt see anything of note past a karmaflower so i left it behind

after some fucking around i returned to aether ridge and so i will update this when i can play again

velvet zinc Apr 7, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

ah im not aupposed to do that?

mental stream Apr 7, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

The first mesage and title can be seen outside thread

velvet zinc Apr 7, 2025, 5:46 PM

#

i am aware, but i thought i had enough of a spoiler-free buffer

velvet zinc Apr 29, 2025, 1:04 AM

#

ok so

#

i did some stuff and went some places

#

im back in throne room and have reached 3 evil karma but i have no clue how to leave outer rim

#

any relatively spoiler free hints?

#

i dont think i can interact with the mega cyst

velvet zinc Apr 29, 2025, 12:09 PM

#

i have an idea, will try it hopefully later today

plush kettle Apr 29, 2025, 1:43 PM

#

nightpopcorn

velvet zinc Apr 30, 2025, 2:21 AM

#

worked!

#

im so glad coral caves doesnt have as many fucking crabs when its rotting

velvet zinc May 1, 2025, 2:00 AM

#

industrial complex isnt looking too good

#

also i went to badlands!

#

damn!

velvet zinc May 1, 2025, 8:56 PM

#

how have i not mentioned the blizzard lizzard that fucking lasered me to death

#

incredible move by the developers to invent a HI YOURE DEAD NOW lizard

#

i could say they might be just as annoying as reds

#

8/10 freak

velvet zinc May 2, 2025, 10:46 PM

#

augh. closes from view agter 1 day

#

anyway. it would be interesting seeing this campaign done with a different scug

velvet zinc May 3, 2025, 4:30 AM

#

hm. the throne smells different

#

could be the voices

#

i swear the big cyst is bgger

#

i believe this random voice is not echo guy's given the seizures and proximity and lack of OAOAOA-ing

velvet zinc May 5, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

found a new region for once!

#

rusted wrecks is so cool and so is this new place whose name i forgot

#

yknow. big tunnels. theres wind everywhere. and weird big fat guys at the bottom

#

i think i saw the rotted versions first

fossil sable May 5, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

Desolate Tract

#

And yeah l love both those regions too monksilly

#

Some of my favorites

velvet zinc May 5, 2025, 5:38 PM

#

yesh

#

i had to make an arena level based off the platforming

velvet zinc May 8, 2025, 3:47 AM

#

maybe tomorrow ill play and go somewhere

plush kettle May 8, 2025, 3:48 AM

#

watchersilly

velvet zinc May 8, 2025, 8:18 PM

#

yeah

velvet zinc May 9, 2025, 5:06 PM

#

i wish that one shelter in desolate tract would actually work

fossil sable May 9, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

Which shelter?

#

I don't recall a faulty shelter

velvet zinc May 9, 2025, 5:45 PM

#

to the left of the rusted wrecks entrance

fossil sable May 9, 2025, 7:07 PM

#

Hmm, l see ... DT doesn't have any intentionally faulty shelters, at least none are described in the wiki. I entered DT via rusted wrecks so l 100% slept in that one too. But, l had encountered a shelter bug very occasionally in my playthrough.

#

They did not want to activate the closing sequence. They went back to normal if l just went in and out and in again though. If you haven't tried that then give it a shot next time something like that happens

velvet zinc May 9, 2025, 8:14 PM

#

thats the thing

#

no matter how many times i did that

#

it didnt work

plush kettle May 9, 2025, 8:16 PM

#

yeah some of the shelters are a little broken unless you go in a certain spot in them slugpensive

velvet zinc May 9, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

i see

velvet zinc May 11, 2025, 2:13 AM

#

wowo

#

wow

#

wow.

#

im floatycat now

#

and there are weird purple squid void spawn

#

anyway

#

i met echo guy at desolate tract

#

wandered trough turbulent pump 4 a bit

#

drowned way too much

#

ate sume turtles

#

met echo guy again

#

went to heat ducts

#

learned that slugcats are less fireproof than initially thought

#

met echo guy again again

#

learned that he suffered through living in heat ducts

#

and then went to stormy coast

#

and now i float in the air and spawn evil voidspawn whenever i turn invisible

silver zealot May 11, 2025, 2:17 AM

#

velvet zinc learned that slugcats are less fireproof than initially thought

Fire

velvet zinc May 11, 2025, 2:17 AM

#

the effect is super cool too

#

look in all fairness

#

fire has never hurt me before

#

the burning poles in depths and aether ridge only tickled

#

but i guess gigantic flamethrowers are hot enough to Get me

#

echo guy must really be going insane given what he had to say about heat ducts being cold and droopy

silver zealot May 11, 2025, 2:22 AM

#

I actually never died to them so I didn't know if they kill you

#

Now I know monksilly

velvet zinc May 11, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

they kill you badly

silver zealot May 11, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

Ough

#

Do they char you

#

Into a slugcat bbq

velvet zinc May 11, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

i dont know watcher is already very charred color

silver zealot May 11, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

True LMAO

velvet zinc May 11, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

oaoaoa

velvet zinc May 11, 2025, 5:34 AM

#

oh and i didnt even mention

#

the weird box worm guy

#

who i pulled delicious balls out of

#

and also the real fast flying guys who put up cool weird magic projections

plush kettle May 11, 2025, 7:39 PM

#

i like these creature descriptions

velvet zinc May 12, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

thank

#

getting my Evil Karma upped by like 3 or 4 in less than an hour was fun

#

im gonna try to go to signal spires next so i can try to go up to the top

#

i have an idea for how if the flying whale dudes comply

#

when i first heard of flying whale dudes before watcher came out i thought they would look like an anomalocaris

velvet zinc May 15, 2025, 12:08 AM

#

i dont think the wiki has a page 4 the turtle guys

#

i wonder if they even have a use

#

i tried to use one like a jetfish but i dont know if it did anything, was fighting the turbulent pump currents too much to know

velvet zinc May 18, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

should be able 2 play again if i lock in

plush kettle May 19, 2025, 3:53 AM

#

watcherparty

velvet zinc May 19, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

i could not :( but THIS TIME.

plush kettle May 19, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

this time monksilly

velvet zinc May 20, 2025, 6:43 AM

#

well i barely played but its good setup for whats ahead

#

i hope i wont have to restart the file to get both endings

#

since i should be pretty close to max evil karma

plush kettle May 20, 2025, 10:39 PM

#

velvet zinc i hope i wont have to restart the file to get both endings

you don't!! don't worry

#

you can get them both in the same save

velvet zinc May 20, 2025, 10:55 PM

#

neat

velvet zinc May 21, 2025, 3:11 AM

#

i assume watcher has a score tally at the end like in downpour?

#

also will it also provide a tally for when i do the second ending

plush kettle May 21, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

as of currently, no to both saintpensive you'll need to get a mod for a score screen, if you want one

velvet zinc May 21, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

downpour cant add a tally?

velvet zinc May 24, 2025, 9:44 PM

#

well i just beat watcher

#

holy shit

#

this ending thing is so cute

#

...every echo must fade into silence, i suppose

#

i need a moment

fossil sable May 24, 2025, 11:13 PM

#

Congratulations!

#

Whenever you're up for it, revisit it because there's more out there to explore! The campaign has not one but two endings watcherpopcorn

mental stream May 24, 2025, 11:17 PM

#

velvet zinc this ending thing is so cute

velvet zinc May 25, 2025, 12:34 AM

#

i am aware of the second ending

#

i know vaguely that it has to do with the rot

#

and i know theres a related character

#

who has yapped at me twice* now

#

im currently running around trying to see what i can do to get the ending(or at least some progression)

amber hollow May 25, 2025, 12:10 PM

#

i just realised i accidentally stole your threads name im so sorry monkwail

velvet zinc May 25, 2025, 1:16 PM

#

lmao

velvet zinc May 26, 2025, 12:42 PM

#

went to fetid glen

#

met a time lizard

#

killed a time lizard

#

learned that the platforming is really weird

#

learned that there are a Lot of time lizards

plush kettle May 26, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

the drug region monkwail

velvet zinc May 27, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

lmao yeah

velvet zinc May 27, 2025, 3:39 AM

#

all the thumbnails involving the rot ending involve karma flowers, hm

#

i wonder if its gotta do with the beds of em in the throne and daemon

#

i suppose i will eventually find out

velvet zinc May 27, 2025, 11:09 PM

#

fetid glen is pretty ..

plush kettle May 28, 2025, 5:24 AM

#

very monksilly

velvet zinc May 28, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

i wonder how itll look when its rotted

plush kettle May 29, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

rivflabbergasted

velvet zinc May 31, 2025, 5:32 AM

#

i like to imagine that the Evil Space you go to when cloaking at max Evil Karma is how echoes see the world

#

especially with what echo guy said back in shattered terrace

velvet zinc May 31, 2025, 8:15 PM

#

jumped around a bunch, rotted a couple spots up, and flower dude hatched

#

i wasnt expecting the giga-cyst to look like That

#

what if theres a really small flower dude in every singly rot cyst

velvet zinc May 31, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

flower dude seems to really love staring me directly in the face

jade valley May 31, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

velvet zinc this ending thing is so cute

OA!

velvet zinc May 31, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

OA!

jade valley May 31, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

velvet zinc flower dude seems to really love staring me directly in the face

yea they do that

velvet zinc May 31, 2025, 11:53 PM

#

i know theres no way they could actually see me(no webcam on my computer even if rw could access it) but still

jade valley May 31, 2025, 11:54 PM

#

nah

#

turn around

velvet zinc May 31, 2025, 11:54 PM

#

that and the weird jerky movements def add to the creepy factor tho

jade valley May 31, 2025, 11:54 PM

#

yea

#

i mean the flower guy seems chill right?

velvet zinc Jun 1, 2025, 2:49 AM

#

yep

#

i know "the prince of rot" is the coolest name of anything in this game but flower guy is funnier

jade valley Jun 1, 2025, 11:22 AM

#

velvet zinc i know "the prince of rot" is the coolest name of anything in this game but flow...

real

velvet zinc Jun 1, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

i should post my theories and headcanons when i have time

#

maybe the ripple spawn are like. side effects of the creation of echoes?

#

i believe void spawn are created from normal ascension

#

so perhaps the creatures that are the opposite color(i think) and are otherwise mostly identical are created from failed ascension

#

perhaps the jellies are formed from extra bad ascensions and also maybe children

#

and maybe amoebas are maturing spawn

#

given that certain use of echo vision mode can make a ripple amoeba become a "void amoeba"

#

maybe void amoebae are a thing

#

but i have no clue

#

im using the official names because i feel like it and my term for ripple amoebas would probably be banned

#

yeah i think it violates rule 10

velvet zinc Jun 1, 2025, 6:56 PM

#

wait wait wait wait wait i just noticed something super cool

#

so. you know how the karma murals leading up to iterator puppet chambers go from 5 to 1

#

the karma symbols leading up to flower guy's chamber not only go from 6-10

#

(ignoring 7 but they couldnt have really made 7)

#

but it goes UP as it approaches instead of down

#

so like. flower guy is somewhat the reverse of an iterator

#

the implications are so cool but i cant bind them into concepts, let alone words

velvet zinc Jun 2, 2025, 3:24 PM

#

what if the "imperative" flower guy mentions is somehow corrupted

#

i dont see how the rot can do much to act on the Solution, unless it does something like rip a hole in the crust and try to collapse the entire surface into the void sea, which seems Somewhat Impractical™

#

but it COULD possibly bind things further to the cycle

#

oh wait i just remembered

#

given the fact that the rot worm is a thi5

#

ig could just. corrupt the void sea itself

#

possibly destroying the cycle at its source? idk

velvet zinc Jun 2, 2025, 11:37 PM

#

i want to take a bite out of flower guy for no reason in particular

jade valley Jun 3, 2025, 5:35 PM

#

velvet zinc i want to take a bite out of flower guy for no reason in particular

i mean

#

ur name is literally #1 rot eater

plush kettle Jun 4, 2025, 2:46 AM

#

honestly flower guy looks like they'd be good on a sugar cookie though so i understand

#

what would they even taste like

#

i don't think it would be the same as the other rot right LSnightthink

velvet zinc Jun 4, 2025, 2:57 AM

#

im currently firing myself in a cannon to the throne to check

#

if you see a blue falling star that's me

velvet zinc Jun 4, 2025, 4:28 AM

#

crunchy like dry leaves and more tasteless

#

wait i gotta see what the face part is like hold on the restraints are corroding

plush kettle Jun 5, 2025, 5:44 AM

#

what did it taste like

#

seems like really flavorless glue

#

from just looking at it

plush kettle Jun 5, 2025, 5:45 AM

#

velvet zinc crunchy like dry leaves and more tasteless

very interesting flavor though slugthink

velvet zinc Jun 5, 2025, 7:18 PM

#

i dont think there will ever be a word to describe what i just experienced

#

the taste and texture...

#

i was consumed myself but not before i could gain something that could not even remotely be understood by one who has not partaken

#

so i will invent a new word to describe it

#

"glippid"

#

surprisingly similar and different to regular rot

#

i havent tasted a void worm yet but i think it would taste vaguely similar

velvet zinc Jun 7, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

so i figured out what the worm guys in heat ducts and torrid desert do

#

i then proceeded to fight 2 at once near an active portal with the evil voidspawn that kill you swarming the place and i only had a single speafr

#

and i won

velvet zinc Jun 7, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

SECOND ENDING GOTTEN

#

also. woah the title screen changed

#

so anyway What the fuck

#

did the rot. die or something

#

i dont think it did since there are still cysts and infected lizards

#

but now there are karma flowers everywhere

jade valley Jun 7, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

velvet zinc SECOND ENDING GOTTEN

GG

jade valley Jun 7, 2025, 9:23 PM

#

velvet zinc so anyway What the fuck

good question

#

i have no idea what the second ending means

plush kettle Jun 7, 2025, 9:26 PM

#

me either

#

i don't think anyone does honestly. other than theories monkwail

velvet zinc Jun 7, 2025, 9:38 PM

#

i like to imagine watcher tending to the garden

#

with a watering can n shit

#

i want to draw this

plush kettle Jun 7, 2025, 10:11 PM

#

draw it monksilly

#

id love to see that

#

reminds me of this art of monk watering a flower pot and then flower guy popped out of it

where they get powered by the flying guys

plush kettle Jun 9, 2025, 3:02 AM

#

jade valley a RAIN WORLD theory

and what is rain world?

#

a game

#

so you could call that

#

a GAME theory

velvet zinc Jun 9, 2025, 8:36 PM

#

since my region is definitely gonna be watcher-compatible

#

im gonna probably base some platforming

#

off the levitation and such

plush kettle Jun 9, 2025, 9:34 PM

#

that would be really fun actually

#

i only really saw much use for levitation in shattered terrace and maybe some of the really movement based platforming in aether ridge regions

#

really wish they made more max karma regions in general tbh

velvet zinc Jun 9, 2025, 11:03 PM

#

i have ideas to make a whole ass slugcat campaign who would be similarly powerful movementwise but theres no way im doing that

#

so watcher and maybe arti or saint or spearmaster will have to do

#

or possibly ruffles but i have no clue how that would work

plush kettle Jun 10, 2025, 2:59 AM

#

||the cell|| or something like it could work riv_tiny (riv campaign spoilers if anyone here hasn't done riv yet just in case)

velvet zinc Jun 10, 2025, 7:52 PM

#

perhaps

velvet zinc Jun 13, 2025, 6:25 AM

#

watcher is gonna be crazy in expedition

#

i wonder if their invisibility would be a perk

#

and if the levitation and echo vision would be there too

plush kettle Jun 14, 2025, 3:22 AM

#

you're right

#

id love to have riv speed and watcher invisibility as a perk

#

nothing would kill me rivevil

velvet zinc Jun 14, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

how the hell is it gonna even work with watcher

#

i assume no echo guy and all portals open

velvet zinc Jun 20, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

cant wait for the new stuff to come out

plush kettle Jun 21, 2025, 2:19 AM
