1 messages · Page 2 of 1
this time its a really long cycle and a guy showed up PROMPTLY
awesome
karma 7, cycle 6
shelter rifht outside sub-t, karma 8, cycle 5
bugs and popcorn and atuff for breakfast and im going straight to the first shelter in there
managing to get locked out HERE would be heart wrenchign
ah.
moderate sized brawl and some corpse excavation later, im in
this may be the W moment to end all W moments
victory is guaranteed

made it here after getting pieced up by the centipede room like 4 times x3
karma 7, cycle 3
i did it!!!!
:D

kinda crazy, i totally did not think id be able to ascend too this run !
welp, thoughts: once i stopped using the campaign as an excuse to crash out it was actually really fun
So True...

actually agree with this, feel the same about hunter after i completed it
before it was a crashout every time
lmao yeah
once i knew it was feasible i was all in and having a good time
and thats how i can re-play it as well
its just different when youre doing it the first time and unsure if youll make it
completing hunter in as little cycles as possible is pretty fun 
you can optimize it a LOT
because iiiiiii want my steam achievement!!!! x3
oh yeah
the replay factor with this guy is HUGE

sounds like more than just the pearl :o
not the sippppp
how much can there possibly even beee
i mean
where havent i been
didnt go to drainage i guess
or garbage wastes
maybe some cool stuff inside 5p other than it being way (or,, well, a little bit) less rotted
oh thats funny
i never even stepped foot in industrial either
tyyyy
so fast pole climbing just convinced me to become a keyboard player
LOL
nowhere near as bad as celeste with keyboard
only thing im changing is grab to x and throw to c
Fast pole climbing is possible with a controller although it is harder
i was trying it and it just didnt seem super worth it
i got it consistently on keys pretty fast
and controller already kinda gave me grief with other diagonal input stuff
its nice knowing im actually gonna slide when i try to slide too :p
Tell me about it
i changed em back to the defaults btw
less confusion when those two are on opposite sides of the jump key
combat requiring quicker item management is still pretty tough for me on keys (thunderdome on the wall was DEATROYING me earlier lololol the yellows were being VERY inconvenient to sneak past)
but ill get used to it for sure
i,, dont think this is first playthrough stuff anymore??? gnfdjkgndkgdng
uh oh im falling down the rabbit hole....
i hit a (would-be) 8.5 at one point, for some reason im not getting jumpboost storage most of the time, im attempting to do it every single time here and all "successful" attempts (none of them are still quite right but those that got significant height) came out as (would-be) 6s
movement 
are you trying to do ctvs
yeah
those take some time 
im finding that out hehe
there’s a mod that lets you see your inputs for every frame
i know we aren’t supposed to recommend mods but 
Don't even get me started on console
OOUGH,,
it helps so much for this kind of stuff
also for me the thing preventing me from doing consistent ctvs was i was pressing jump too late so
idk try jumping earlier maybe
reached the pole
still with the flip
probably same error just with successful jumpboost?
i suspect im pressing down before right and thats why
new record
gonna loook into that mod
it’s called input log 
steam workshop has spoilers for everything though so be careful

found it, got the input displayer too
neither of those mods are working but: yup, im accidentally doing this
ya
i mean its something??? x3c
i guess i just have to like more aggressively tilt my hand to bias the positions of my fingers to make me hit the right arrow key sooner????? sooobbb
anyways these should still be pretty useful
yippee
i also started doing an expedition
survivor
pipeyard vista point
3 colored pearls in a chimney canopy shelter
meet chimney canopy echo
also there is a rwsc you can do fairly easily with that height you gain from this
im currently going through pipeyard and if i dont stumble upon the vista point ill just try to do the canopy stuff first then come back
im sure you’ll find it 
does that mean rainworld shortcut?
rainworld server challenge
You get a color role for doing them, there’s quite a few but there are spoilers within the document for all campaigns
they do contain spoilers for all campaigns
so unless you've completed them all and know the lore, beware of spoilers
i def need to checkout the full map as every scug
ive completed every one except the watcher
the only main things i can think of that i want to do that i 100% know will yield extra stuffs are taking the spawn pearl to moon as hunter and ascending the iterators as saint
The challenges reveal a lot of game mechanics too
but mono did also suggest theres some other big thing with hunter

there’s so many Hunter posts I forgor which ones did what 
There's so many posts I forget who's who
same 
who are you people
Except for you
Yours is easy to know
who am i...
good question
everyone asking who are you
but no one asking how are you 
How are y'all
good question
!!!
yeaaah!!! then i fell and i cant get back up im just gonna Die and then come back and be more careful
woohooooo
im uust trying to take hunters pearl to moon
there is No damn way
that a fucking MONSTER KELP
just ate the green neuron fly Twice in a row
I LIKE DIDNT WVEN KNOW THEY COULD TAKE ITEMS OUT OF YOUR HANDS AT ALL
and why is it SO fixated on the green neuron fly
it wants it more than ME
you could put it in a safe place if you need to 
win
LOL,,,
that was worth it
NSH is such a goofball
i love him
thing i want todo next:
get M.O.C. before delivering SRS' message to 5p as spearmaster
hunting the hunter
thats Harpoon Buzzard's job and i think theyre doing good enough on their own
(the way i found this was funny btw, i had to look at the map to realize there was a way down and then when i came back i immediately blatantly watched a scavenger go down it)
1st time hunter/msc, now random experiments feat. M O V E M E N T

dude no way
i dont have nitro
(i was wrong about this:) they unlocked animated emotes without nitro
finally
wait they arent server locked either anymore
ok now im suspicious
now i feel like theyre gonna take it away and its just an ad to make you want nitro
oh so i just had a fucking trial forced upon me i guess
im so confused
Why!!!! i didnt tell you to do that!!! as a matter of fact you didnt tell me you did that!!!
oh yeh. started the spearmaster re-run
so far:
outskirts, wanted to go to drainage, got DEATROYED by 2lizard-monsterkelp sandwich, dropping me back to k3, bailed to industrial because it was Right There, Un-bailed to industrial after raising karma there, went thru drainage for real, now im right after the gate to wastes
pack of scavvies and i beat up a king vulture lmao, also got this broadcast
so happy to have made it here with that mask
whooooooo
made it to waterfront, end of play session
haiii :3
o yea, thought the pink was a new pearl but it was juist the "purposed organism for cleaning pipes" one again, abstracted due to being waterfront instead of shoreline, too bad
im currently just idle in the game and doing something else
but in general RN im just exploring every corner of LTTM
because its siiiick ! x3
very thoroughly explored 5p too just to master its layout
i love being in the superstructures, theyre comforting environments to me
anyways time to actually hear this guy's crashout
LMAO
A S T O U N D I N G
whats truly astounding is the fact that i managed to leave the pearl in his puppet room
i assumed he forcefully shoved it out of the pipe
uh, nope, you have to grab it on the way out i guess
which is
kind of weird honestly
seems like way too easy to completely hardlock the campaign
(other than ascension ig)
anyways that doesnt matter because a. i let him murk me in my attempt to retrieve it and b. i got everything i came for which was:
explore lttm a bit more thoroughly
see the remaining rooms in 5p that i had never been to
and take the precipice to go between em
now, i havent done the precipice back to moon, yes
but uh
a.
thats karma 5 and the precipice is just a teensy little bit REALLY HARD to traverse
though i think the area near the gate wouldnt be too bad to farm karma at
and b.
what was b
i forgot
oh wait actually i did also want to explore the precipice more thoroughly
especially to see where it connects to the rest of waterfront
eh ill do that another time
right now what im wanting to do is see more of the map as rivulet
so that constitutes an unusual route run
actually hm
yknow i just realized ascension is a pretty great way to automatically see way more of the map as every scug
ill ascend every scug at some point but thats not what i want to do rn for riv honestly
i just wanna do an unusual route with the normal story objective
and explore the rot and submerged superstructure more thoroughly on the way
im thinking drainage back to outskirts, industrial, chimney, exterior, rot, then through sky islands and farm arrays on the way back and then through wastes to moon
this route is also inspired by the rivulet replay that i started on my laptop during downtime at school being stuck at going thru underhang from east to west
i kind of cant believe i did that pretty painlessly on my first run
that one room with the strands that dangle way below the actual bridge you wanna be walking on
BRUTAL
actually im gonna do arrays and SI in the beginning
lmao
i hated sky islands at first because i was just trying to leave back to canopy but i didnt realize you could use squidcadas yet
and i was really struggling with the platforming especially one particular platform thats got foreground infront of it so id just creep off the edge every time
but now i kinda like it
theres that one room thats REALLY hard as hunter, but the rest is manageable
and its a pretty quick way around especially including the pipeyard connection
1st practical application of this ive done even if it took me 3 tried
wish i caught the one where i went oob past the left edge of the room and got softlocked that was funny
oh god that was a huge mistake now i HAVE to deal with rain deer for real to get back
i dont want to be this close to subterranean why and HOW did i get here i thought i was still mostly on the eastern end of arrays
oh wait nvm i can ploink back
yay
and now im just back in the other area i dont want to be what the helllllll
its like the whole middle section of farm arrays containing the SI gate has just vanished
is it actually to the RIGHT of the scav toll??? theres no way right??? it is 100% to the left???
NO ITS TO THE RIGHT OF IT
BECAUSE YOU GET THE PEARL NEAR THE SI GATE WHEN YOU COME IN AND THEN GO LEFT THROUGH IT
i have the memory of a goldfish
very nice ploink 10/10
scav tolls have to be placed in annoying places just to annoy you :)
i have a pearl in my stomach and everything
its just that i went up to that toll coming from the left side earlier and thought "oh, this must be the wrong way, id be going to the wrong side of the toll"
cue 30+ minutes detour
wildest teamwork ive ever seen
tongue holds me in place
tongue bounces me up into initially harmless looking buddie's jaws just as they drop down
buddie hits a 360 and launches me into the void at mach 5
(also very pained bc why didnt i just use the horizontal pole)
lowkey thought this was like impossible looking at it lol
dragon skip 
opening the third eye
how the fuck 😭
oh the joy
I GOT IT AGAIN
clearly the first 2 are like
by far the hardest for whatever reason
one of the funniest things
theyre dansing
scug has brain damage (movement)
speedrunner ahh tech
Thanks i did 2 pebbles% runs for the first time yesterday LMAO
the first one was just for Tha Learnz
2nd one couldve actually been pretty good but i didnt know filtration well enough
so it was like 53 mins instead of 42ish
got absolutely shafted
mostly user error though
one specific tunnel thats in the dark that i didnt know about couldve prevented like 3 deaths
but i wanna try pilgrimage before doing another one of those
riv story seems pretty fun too but im scared of underhang
But.. Pork Ribs
so far: farms --> si + si echo --> chimney + chimney echo --> here gonna try interior 5p as hunter lol
and show him the slagkeys
lmao that dll was being a complete pain and then just DIPPED by launching itself into the pit for zero reason
yay
cool
so mean!
yay
k10 cycle 20 bottom of wall
ill finish this later
gonna help moon and then subt to end from sl
see what cycle we end on
what route to moon though
shaded or garbage
shaded would be faster but spitter spiders are a real bad problem
plus getting a lantern may be troublesome and spitter spiders in the dark would be...
i think id rather do garbage
even though im a little worried about scavengers
so far theyve been fine with me if i drop my spears and get out of their sight
ill pick up a white pearl in industrial to use as a gift to some random ones and hopefully thatll be enough to be mostly fine
waaaait what am i doing
i couldve just eaten a neuron fly!
im so silly for that
guess im doing garbage for sure since with spitters thats definitely like
"the idea"
of how youre supposed to do that
or at least by far the most viable with a pretty huge gap between it and other methods
mean or is five pebbles a doctor 
hes a mean doctor
negl I don’t remember the last time I took garbage wastes to shoreline 
I needa do that route more…
five pebbles… house??
SO APPARENTLY I GOT ROBBED
cycle FIFTEEN
apparently meeting an echo after 5p before sheltering robs you of the 5 extra cycles!?!?
WELP
i think i can still make it work
but it wont be as big of a buffer
Nothing takes your cycles from you 
maybe its because i quit out after respawning
You just didn’t get them because you didn’t shelter (save) you can just visit 5P again
yeah i guess i could but i dont really want to also im already in garbage wastes
its just weird that after echo you keep the karma but not the cycles
figured theyd come as a 2for1 deal no matter what
5P also gave you karma so that’s up to you
yippeee
ive also somehow managedc not to die a single time up to this point but sub-t is definitely gonna change that lmao
wtf is this shit lmaoooo
like three snails and a salamander
theres my first death
r.i.p. (death 2)
sub-t reached
cycle 10
i would like to finish with double digits so even if i die a bunch in filtration or going to filtration im gonna opt for having this be the last shelter
yea those dropwigs were like
in the worst spots imaginable
dying to rain in filtration was totally absolutely on my bingo card (esp. considering the short cycle) and yea it just happened oh well
im at karma 4 now 
3...
That applies to everything, visiting the echo resets the cycle
You meeting pebbles never happened 
so am i not gonna have the helped pebbles flag either,,
2...
i thought this results screen was gonna look somewhat cool LMAO
fun run regardless but this is a buuummeeeerrr
At least karma's not a hassle in subterranean
yeag
sub-t continues to be my mortal enemy
a bit exhausted ill follow thru later
anyways im now at 1 plus a few extra deaths bc i dont really care anymore and im making stupid choices
Did you finish?
nope not yet
h
what results screen were you referring to? sorry I got confused 
the one i havent got yet lmao
considering my streak for most of the run i was like hey itd be cool if i had like 5 deaths or something
but sub-t is just
SO hard
brought it from 2 to 13 on the last cycle
you can always do it again and again 
Hunter run but you do it in one cycle
due to echo decanonizing it
yeah if you didn’t save
womp womp
that was the main point of this run was to get all 3
sooooo
again and again 
Well I guess you can aim for less deaths next time hehe
yea hopefully ill learn something about doing sub-t this way this direction
now.. do that and climb from bottom of leg to top of wall
in 1 cycle?
if you dare to
I did that my first hunter run in 2-3 I think.. it’s not worth it
but that definitely isnt what im gonna want to do if i want all objectives
It’s not an optimal route in any case 😭
lmao
but its fun!
i enjoy how many ways there are to do exterior+pebbles
so its never boring
Hunter in general has so many routes that make it interesting
You can always take a different one
I never went through SI on hunter 
thinking of it that way ive done a great job with that

going to subt first was the jankiest thing i couldve possibly done for my first successful one tbh
next time ill do outskirts
only exit i havent used as hunter a single time
maybe i could incorporate pipeyard
I mean you are right by some useful things in sub when you spawn in farm arrays
There’s nothing wrong with going that way
I don’t know what this p####### is but it sounds scary (change to tags because that looked bad……)
lol
i think i would still want to get to know it better first
before trying it as hunter
If you can get all the way through sub to shoreline with no deaths I think it is a good route actually
no yeah the funny part was that i died so many times there and then made the rest of the run feel easy in comparison
there is another subterranean connection that would be useful too
so this one is the opposite despite only doing half the subt i did the first time
scary area making Hunter feel scarier than it is
if i do moon earlier in the run and still have to get echoes i could make drainage to subt work maybe
farm echo tp back to outskirts or something
The drainage-sub gate is the easiest one to cross iirc 
ok
so.... why no ctv
but i have learned a common issue for me seems to be jumping a tick early
i;'m plying watcher
watching..
Fair enough
i got a video of seemingly perfect inputs with hopvault result as well now
cutting it
The one mode I can't play
weird
Takes away your/j
Do it learn it
400 bpm inputs..
Not that bad I say when I can't even CTV
but flying
