I hate this challenge

whole vapor
#

I also hate that challenge

languid gyro
#

rng hell

#

AND a pixel perfect jump

#

can someone help me with this one
I have no idea how you're supposed to get points

copper burrow
#

lol i dont have that challenge but it looks fun

languid gyro
#

except for the "how do I get points" aspect

#

I have made an interesting discovery about red centipedes
they have to connect both ends of their body to electrocute me

languid gyro
#

does Expedition mode contain any spoilers?

midnight badger
#

and there's some stuff that i'd consider to be in the gray area of spoilers/not spoilers

languid gyro
#

any campaign-specific?

#

I already know the actual names of most creatures

midnight badger
#

but if you select survivor you’re not going to get saint spoilers or anything like that

languid gyro
#

so if I'm understanding this right:
there are general and name spoilers, and if you go to the specific character there may be campaign spoilers in the menu

#

I assume there's a character selection menu

midnight badger
#

there is a character selection menu but there’s also an expedition guide i believe

#

the expedition guide may contain spoilers

languid gyro
#

noted.

#

might just wait until after saint then

midnight badger
#

let me check if jt does

languid gyro
#

k

midnight badger
#

it's referred to as a manual and there are some minor-ish campaign spoilers in it

#

there's also unlockable perks which contain spoilers for slugcat gimmicks

languid gyro
#

I did hear a bit about the perks thing

#

like how you can have arti's jump and riv's speed on the same scug

#

is it only after unlock?

#

or is there a preview

midnight badger
#

you mainly want to avoid saint spoilers right monkcurious

languid gyro
#

yeah

#

I'm not as worried about Inv since well
secret

midnight badger
#

no perks have saint spoilers

languid gyro
#

anywhere else?

#

mainly the manual

midnight badger
#

the manual has a singular very slight saint spoiler

languid gyro
#

good to know

#

thank you a lot for the help

midnight badger
#

if you want me to send the manual without the one saint spoiler then i can

languid gyro
#

sure

midnight badger
#

it's under the "gameplay changes" category so just don't check that one ig uess monksilly

#

you hvae completed hunter also right

languid gyro
#

surprisingly I still haven't gotten around to that

#

thank you for reminding me

midnight badger
#

oh there are hunter spoilers

languid gyro
#

yeah I kinda forgot about hunter lol

midnight badger
#

again it's only in the gameplay changes section

languid gyro
#

all the spoilers are there

#

apparently

midnight badger
#

yeah monkwail

worthy lichen
#

play Hunter oooooh

languid gyro
#

turned off MSC though because I want vanilla experience first

worthy lichen
#

Good idea

midnight badger
#

gameplay changes section (no spoilers ✨)

  • expeditions start in a random shelter
  • start with 2 karma; karma is capped at 5
  • survivor passage completed by default
  • passages are unusable unless a certain perk is enabled
  • echoes will not spawn on the starting cycle
  • collectable tokens will not appear
languid gyro
#

yknow

#

I get the feeling expedition might be a lot more fun

#

because I won't have to deal with the seemingly mandatory campaign requirement of "yeah you don't get one of your storage slots"

midnight badger
#

expedition is pretty fun monksilly i just wish perks were handled a bit differently

#

it'd be a lot better if completing a quest gave you a temporary perk or something

#

though expedition is still fun regardless saintblep

languid gyro
worthy lichen
#

my heart can’t take expedition stress too scary

languid gyro
#

from what I know there is perma-death on 1 karma

#

I assume that's why

languid gyro
#

Moon just uh
kinda died

#

and then absorbed the green neuron fly

copper burrow
#

f

languid gyro
#

"you will wake right back up again"

#

what.

#

that is by far the most impactful line this game has given me up to this point

copper burrow
#

got any theories?

languid gyro
#

maybe

#

trying to process right now

#

something to do with ascension or immortality maybe?

#

on a side note:
not really sure what to do now so I think I might just go ascend

#

nvm I just realized I can't

#

I don't have karma 10

#

and there is absolutely no way I'm getting that many echos in time

#

even if I somehow got the +5 cycles from pebs

copper burrow
#

thats what i thought on my hunter playthrough...

#

(turned out t o somehow not be the case)

#

the point: you can do it

#

i encourage you to keep going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

stone talon
#

you got this!!!!!!

languid gyro
#

in that case I suppose my best pathing would be GW-IC-CC-t h e w a l l-pebs-wall-SI-FA-SB

languid gyro
#

taking a break from Hunter and moving on to Saint

#

starting with ascension I see

#

well I found that the explo plants warm me up

#

oh I'm in skylands

#

I see

#

good to know

#

there are ice mechanics AND I get a whopping 2 karma

#

lanterns on poles warm me up as well as held

#

noted

#

and there just aren't any cycles

#

that is definitely going to mess me up in future campaigns/expedition

#

oh great I don't get passages

#

why did I just get an echo effect from the cycle starting

#

why does the orange lizard have horns

copper burrow
#

oooo sain

#

t

languid gyro
#

so yeah I am supposed to get karma 10

#

that explains how

#

anyways found out what the echo effect was

#

it was me somehow spawning in skylands echo

languid gyro
#

who needs CC when you can have Solitary Towers

#

uh

#

CC echo didn't have the karma req OR the cycle req

#

and all echos seem to have different dialogue

#

so I don't think I'm going to the wall

#

also I cannot eat batflies

#

very sad

ruby grail
languid gyro
#

spiders are STILL as pathetic as ever

#

that's an odd looking white lizor

#

very cool though

#

WHY IS THERE A RED LIZARD IN CC

#

so I appear to die instantly to anything that bites me

#

(it wasn't the red lizard)

#

also Saint seems to deal with fall stun very poorly

sand isle
#

sant saintblep

languid gyro
#

how and why is he in this room

#

of all places

copper burrow
#

for fun

languid gyro
#

there seem to be a lot more scav merchants

#

Icy Monument is what IC is called

#

scavs don't hate me for once :D

languid gyro
#

Suburban Drifts = Outskirts

languid gyro
#

Glacial Wasteland = Garbage Wastes

#

my original plan was to go to FA but I forgot it's a 5 karma gate

#

I love getting jumpscared by a mechanical vulture in the first 3 rooms

sand isle
#

how are you liking sint so far saintstare

languid gyro
#

fun

#

and very interesting

#

since it introduces so many new mechanics

#

why is there an echo in shoreline

languid gyro
#

saint became ourple

#

saint no like cold

#

(I lived though so it's fine)

#

more ourple saint

#

but it's ok because I retrieved the pearl

languid gyro
#

well I talked to Moon

#

uh

#

nothing really stood out to me this time

#

apart from the fact that I can hear the iterators without the Mark of Communication

languid gyro
#

I'm taking this with me

#

moon wasn't happy

#

(I'm clipped into the wall)

#

also

#

Shoreline=Frigid Coast

#

WHY DO TURTLES SEND ME INTO SEIZURE MODE

#

floating karma gate

#

"Silent Construct"

#

found the wall

sand isle
#

the fall

languid gyro
#

"Swim with the tide or against it"

#

that feels like an important line

#

of course red centi exists

#

"The Husk"

midnight badger
languid gyro
#

danger noodle

whole vapor
#

Zappy noodle

languid gyro
#

and then you have the opposite of it
the extremely pathetic brown spider

#

couldn't even kill the weakest scug

#

and we still return to the wall

#

also forgot to mention this before
I am unbelievably happy that I get to see Moon in post-Riv condition

#

the wall be lookin a bit different today

#

Metro gate is not having a good time

whole vapor
#

(Neither is your spelling of metromonksilly )

languid gyro
#

shush

#

you weren't supposed to see that

#

this is crazy

#

Five Pebbles didn't get a name change

#

he homeless

#

I just did 4 backflips in a row using the tongue

languid gyro
#

the cursed water

#

it literally just swallows me

languid gyro
#

finally found one

languid gyro
#

how is he dead

stone talon
#

the mouse killed him saintpensive

languid gyro
#

behold the almighty lantern mouse

languid gyro
languid gyro
#

what are these silly little fellows doing in FA

#

the winds are a little strong (definitely didn't over double my jump length)

#

now this is something I never really expected
I can steal warmth from the deer

languid gyro
#

deer AI never stops surprising me

stone talon
#

smartest creatures ever

languid gyro
#

and now they've turned into just a clump of deer

#

it's been over 5 minutes

#

of waiting

#

the cursed karma

#

I'm trying to figure out where this last echo is

#

only main areas I haven't gone to are DS and OE

#

and I don't really want to deal with OE

#

why is there red in the grass

worthy lichen
#

the grass that doesn’t want to conform to society

worthy lichen
languid gyro
#

if so that's good to know

worthy lichen
#

im not sure if it is/isnt

languid gyro
#

look who finally decided to show up

#

chieftain passage has been invisible for so long

#

found out that you can just avoid sleeping by tonguing the ceiling of a shelter

languid gyro
#

aaaaaaaaaaaand the last echo is in drainage

#

of course it is

#

Undergrowth

#

but no cold meter so that's a bonus

languid gyro
#

but in theory I do have infinite cycle length so

#

that's a bonus if I can get a shelter in the region

#

found one

#

very cool lighting

#

karma 10 jumpscare

#

saint???

#

so why I have unlocked the ability of flight

#

I have unlocked murder

#

why can I grab the dead pole plant

#

no way I'm getting saint and monk passage as the scug who can't kill and can't eat meat

languid gyro
#

easiest nomad of my life

#

I love being able to fly and kill anything and everything in my way

#

nobody was spared.

copper burrow
#

nice!!!!

languid gyro
#

very

#

how do I have both GW pearl messages from moon if I never gave it to her in Spearmaster??

#

just as a plan for the future:
FP-SL-LTTM-GW (shelter to be sure I have wanderer here)-IC-Outskirts-FA-SB (shelter for wanderer)-OE (shelter for wanderer if I don't have already)

#

then ascend ig?

#

plans might change if Moon has something to say about what I have to do

#

I do still want to get a ton of passages though

#

since I have 3 nearly completed

copper burrow
fallen latch
stone talon
#

i think it's automatic unlock

#

don't know why either but it does make things a lot easier monkwail

languid gyro
#

five pebble is no longer in this realm

sand isle
#

oh

#

you unlocked creative mode

languid gyro
#

h u h

#

oh

#

I see

#

something I forgot to mention is that when flying I get a giant speed boost in water

#

similar to the rarefraction cell

languid gyro
#

I have returned to Moon

#

I got practically no info on what to do...

#

guess I'm sticking with ascension

#

I am debating going back on this

#

but at the same time

#

I cannot ascend jellyfish. why this is a thing I do not know

midnight badger
#

the game does not see jellyfish as living things monksilly

languid gyro
#

but I can ascend batflies???

midnight badger
#

jellyfish are mere objects

languid gyro
#

very zappy ones at that

languid gyro
#

so I'ma go shelter there to see if I get anything

languid gyro
languid gyro
languid gyro
#

but one remains.

#

OE doesn't exist

#

and I found out that I can just

#

make batflies disappear

languid gyro
#

white jetsquid??

midnight badger
#

pretty

#

lychee flavor

languid gyro
#

found out why the light waves were appearing so early

#

karma 10 jumpscare

#

also

#

apparently there's acid here

#

I've been locked out

#

this man was built different

#

took 3 hits

#

the cursed eggbug

#

that's a weird looking red lizor

copper burrow
#

Rubicon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

languid gyro
#

spider, red lizor, mechanical vulture, and a white lizard all in the same room

#

plus a guardian blocking the exit

copper burrow
#

Everything in 1 room

languid gyro
#

just realized I have a cycle timer again

#

also I'm seeing a lot of resemblance to other regions in Rubicon

worthy lichen
#

copper burrow

languid gyro

ruby grail
#

:3

languid gyro
#

THEY FINALLY EXIST

copper burrow
#

Noodles when they grow wings and fly

#

"I just wanna eat my ramen!!!!!!!" Idk

languid gyro
#

I love how the guardians are putting me through locked rooms with red enemies to try and get me killed
and then said red enemies just abandon the guardians

#

physics are not physicing

#

spears
THAT I CAN USE???

#

am I being told that I am asleep??

ruby grail
languid gyro
#

they're gone.

#

the truly forbidden karma

#

also
I CALLED IT

#

I guessed that I was going to kill the thing

#

and I did

#

(I think)

#

I have no words that can describe my amazement with this ending

ruby grail
#

Obligatory repost

copper burrow
#

Saint defeated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

languid gyro
copper burrow
#

Winner. Chicken. Dinner

copper burrow
midnight badger
#

do you want some FUN FACTS ✨

languid gyro
midnight badger
#

fun fact 1 ✨ ||saint’s completed campaign art does not reset if the campaign is reset||
fun fact 2 slugfab ||the item you had in your stomach when completing saint will carry over if you reset||
fun fact 3 serverstaff ||the music that plays while swimming up at the end is monk/survivor’s intro cutscene music (pictures of the past), but slowed and reversed||

languid gyro
#

since when did the eggbug's red cousin try and murder you??

rotund coral
#

Congrats on finishing saint saintblep

rotund coral
#

The red eggbugs are incredibly funny in some regards

sand isle
#

nothing is here to not murder you

languid gyro
#

why is it not opening?

copper burrow
#

kill all creatures
slugcat still alive

languid gyro
languid gyro
#

I have found yet another floating barrier

stone talon
#

riv float rivflabbergasted

languid gyro
#

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

stone talon

goodluck invgoggle

green valve
#

step 1: cover yourself in oil

languid gyro
#

perfection.

midnight badger
#

which one is your favorite monkdevious

languid gyro
#

not sure yet

#

haven't checked most of them out

copper burrow
#

My favourites are the exterior and subterranean

languid gyro
#

which one is subterranean? I'm having trouble figuring it out for some reason

sand isle
#

this one maybe ?

languid gyro
#

looks more like superstructure or filtration to me

sand isle
#

this ones superstructure im pretty sure

languid gyro
#

really?

#

I would not have guessed that lol

sand isle
#

no specific one for filtration i think

languid gyro
#

from what I've been told, this was the original riddle for finding Inv

#

this is, minus a few bits and pieces, all my current Inv campaign-finding knowledge

copper burrow
#

silent construct is pretty good too

fallen latch
languid gyro
#

after a significant amount of clues
I have finally successfully downloaded the wrong version of rainworld

copper burrow
#

Secret version!!!!

untold trout
languid gyro
worthy lichen
languid gyro
#

my search is finally over

languid gyro
#

I appear to have gotten stuck.

#

I don't remember inviting this guy into my shelter

#

stone talon

languid gyro
#

stuck in prison

whole vapor
#

For your crimessaintpensive

languid gyro
#

another day of procrastinating chimney canopy inv

languid gyro
#

a momentous day this is, for after 300 hours of rainworlding
I have finally figured out how to roll

stone talon
languid gyro
