Collecting gourmands foods

<@&1137895527271379055> i want to complete the gourmand food quest and go to the journey's end but i have never played downpour and the game spawned me in shaded citadel what do i do

[heady girder]

explore, eat, enjoy life

[zealous jay]

Btw i does every cat eat lizards in downpour

Because gourmand seems to like eating them

[leaden meadow]

What exactly do you need for help? Sounds like you already know what to do

[zealous jay]

I have never been to the journeys end

[leaden meadow]

Find out

[zealous jay]

I finished my first playthrough by absolute luck and use of maps from wiki 🙂

[leaden meadow]

Find it

[zealous jay]

Alright then gotta cook ig

[leaden meadow]

Do you think the first person to play rainworld had a wiki and map to know where to go?

[zealous jay]

Who is this

What do i need to eat to fill that food

It's a lizard bu

Which one

I'm thinking it's the ones in the shaded but might be wrong

[misty mica]

the icon also slightly shows the color which may help

[zealous jay]

Definitely the ones in the dark

I one shot everything so they are no problem

This cat is strong

[wild crown]

Find out

[zealous jay]

Well let me ask this? Does survivor eat lizards now

I don't want to reset my survivor or reenter

[wild crown]

You don't have to reset it

[zealous jay]

How will i find lizards in the void though

I'll have to walk all the way back

[wild crown]

Survivor can't eat lizards

[zealous jay]

Oh so it's not one of the qol futures of downpour

[zealous jay]

What about this i have never seen this

Is it popcorn?

But popcorn isn't gray

<@&1137895527271379055>

What's this food

[queen dragon]

what color is it? Did you see anything of that color in the wilds?

[zealous jay]

I haven't seen a gray food

Idk

[queen dragon]

it's not really blue before you get it

[zealous jay]

Maybe i should find a popcorn and try to produce it myself

[zealous jay]

Ohhhh it's the one that explodes in water

[queen dragon]

dang it

[zealous jay]

I can produce it myself 👊

I really want to go to the watery area back

It has light

I wish I don't have to return to shaded ever again

My worst nightmare

Almost made me quit the whole game in my first playthrough

[zealous jay]

My run is cooked

I died after meeting pebbles and i had already entered his home 2 times so if i go there for a neuron again he'll kill me

I won't be able to have slug kids 😭

[wild crown]

This isn't the only way to enter that region

[zealous jay]

Can i go there from the echo?

I already saw the echo so I'll just have to spear the wall and go right?

I have never went there except for the echo

[wild crown]

Perhaps, find out

[zealous jay]

I'll have to climb all the way back too

Fat thing keeps getting tired

[zealous jay]

<@&1137895527271379055> why do i have to kill a red centipede that is covered with other centipedes while there is objects blocking my grenade and making me kill myself.......

How do i even kill the red centipede in subterranean

And I don't think my next biome even has them

I need tips plss

I have a bomb and a spear and the bomb doesn't kill it

Whenever i spam spear him i die before him

[empty dune]

It wouldn't be fun if it wasn't difficult...
Red centipedes are pretty tough to kill, you might have better luck finding a way to cheese it than trying to fight it head on

[zealous jay]

And I don't think jumping on centipedes eork

[zealous jay]

It isn't fun when its too hard either

I wish those scavengers helped me instead of dying to the stupid grass

[empty dune]

Basically fighting a red centipede head on is a death sentence unless you have an unreasonable number of explosives and can actually move quickly for more than 5 seconds lmao
Gourmand does have other advantages though

[leaden meadow]

Think out of the box! There's other ways to do it with lethal efficiency

Especially for gourmand

[zealous jay]

But jumping on them doesn't seem to work?

I mean I don't have a place to jump from super high so a jump can't kill it either

I do have those explosive plants with rocks to make bombs but the centipedes don't really let me

[wild crown]

Are you sure bombs is the only thing you can make?

[zealous jay]

I just read Wikipedia

And

I'll make the deer things

I only used the deer things against lizards before i didn't think it would be that useful

So basically the spore puff is a bug spray??

That's crazy

I love rain world 🙏

Now i js need drugs and rocks

[zealous jay]

<@&1137895527271379055> I KILLED A RED CENTIPEDE AND SUCCESSFULLY HIBERNATED AFTERWARDS

the food quest is DONE

I js need to finish the game now

[jagged solar]

CONGRATS!!!

[empty dune]

[zealous jay]

Now i will just return to my home and i should gain the ability to adopt children 🥰

[zealous jay]

<@&1137895527271379055> finally finished the playthrough!

I died 144 times during this journey🥰

5 hours

How is this

[jagged solar]

nice

[zealous jay]

Why does it say 5 hours in points place but 13 hours in character

Which one is it

It says 13??

Should i play artificer next?

[queen dragon]

well done! 🎉 The score screen time only accounts for successful cycles time

[zealous jay]

Oh so for about 8 hours was just waste 😂

[queen dragon]

investment into game experience rather

it's not a waste as long as you had fun

[zealous jay]

Investment into my hate towards gourmand's tired state

[queen dragon]

can't argue with that

[zealous jay]

Well this is it for today ig I'll start artificer tomorrow. So see you all then 👋

[zealous jay]

Combusting all over scavengers

Artificer is going to be difficult

I just started the playthrough and already died 10 or so times trying to pass scavenger gate

[dreamy plank]

boop

[zealous jay]

Thanks 👍

So i only found centipedes which i hate seeing

[brisk bloom]

What things have you tried eating so far?

[zealous jay]

Blue popping things and fruit but they don't give a lot

[dreamy plank]

also animoso there arent any scavs there :P

[zealous jay]

Other things i found were centipedes

[queen dragon]

before 🤏 come there prepared

[thorny oak]

scavengers in the post title are a spoiler aren't they

[zealous jay]

Sre they????

[brisk bloom]

The names of creatures are spoilers usually.

[zealous jay]

Well i will change it just in case

[dreamy plank]

actually yeah

[brisk bloom]

Did you try eating other common things, like blue fruit or batflies? How much do they feed you?

[zealous jay]

I hate spear guys

[zealous jay]

Not a lot

The one popped in water was a failure

Idk i didn't find bats here

[brisk bloom]

Have you played other slugcats that get such small amount of feeding with fruits too? Or is this the first time it happened?

[zealous jay]

Idk why but the area is so dark i can't hunt the centipedes

[zealous jay]

First time

I only played gourmand and survivor lol

[zealous jay]

I could kill them if it wasn't for the darkness

[brisk bloom]

Different slugcats have different diets.

Experiment and see what can or cannot be eaten.

[zealous jay]

Learnt it the hard way

[brisk bloom]

Maybe there were things you couldn't eat as Survivor that Arti can.

[zealous jay]

I might leave this run and go to outskirts from garbage wastes and then chimney canopy

then sky islands and then ascent?

Idrk

Maybe five pebbles

Before sky islands

[thorny oak]

what abilities do you know artificer can do?

[zealous jay]

Lizards centipedes etc ik

[thorny oak]

asking since there's something they can do that's not specified ingame

[zealous jay]

Explode to double jump turn rocks to bombs spears to explosive spears

IMDUM

i can kill centipedes with bombs

I have homemade bombs

[zealous jay]

You mean the down explosion thing

The parry?

I have looked up some info

[thorny oak]

yeah

[zealous jay]

I found it quite hard to use against stuff

[thorny oak]

it's unfortunate it's never talked about ingame

[zealous jay]

The bite damage is fine against peaceful creatures but

How many times would i need to bite a centipede lol

[thorny oak]

yeah it can take some practice

[zealous jay]

I'll just go the bomb way

Bombs don't even harm me in proximity

[thorny oak]

explosives are fun when they aren't lethal

[zealous jay]

Fr i died about 20 times to explosives while playing gourmand cuz i tried killing red centipedes with bombs

Other times it was the red centipede

[thorny oak]

i always underestimate how far i have to be for the explosion to not instant kill me

[leaden meadow]

You're surrounded by food in the places you are

[zealous jay]

Where should i go after meeting five pebbles

I went to the place i unlocked after beating gourmand

But idrk if it's the right place

So i didn't den

<@&1137895527271379055>

[queen dragon]

Did you get anything out of your interaction?

[zealous jay]

I missed a sentence because it went too fast but he said we both hated scavengers and some were harming the roof of his structure

Idk where is the roof

[brisk bloom]

It's a new place, right? Then maybe you should take your time to explore the new zone.

What does it look like?

[zealous jay]

Like this

[queen dragon]

Oh... so you are here already

[zealous jay]

To return I'll need max karma that's my worry. Returning will require a scavenger

[zealous jay]

Is it a wrong turn...

If i den here and have to return

ill have to deal with scavenger

And they suck

So much

[queen dragon]

Does it feel wrong to you? If you haven't explores it yet then it's worth to do so

[zealous jay]

They always team fr cuz they aren't beating me in a 1v1

[zealous jay]

It could go to the roof ig

i Mean i probably haven't been to his roof

So a new place could mean it

I just don't understand why i unlocked this place after gourmand

What would happen if i played artificer before gourmand

Would the game be locked

[brisk bloom]

You're playing Arti. Karma requirement is hardly an issue.

[zealous jay]

Or would i only be able to get the ascension ending

[brisk bloom]

Just keep killing until you find a scav with enough karma, if you want to return at any point.

[zealous jay]

Im so unsure but i mean if i don't go here I'll go to chimney conopy

Then sky islands then idkkk

I'll just be exploring

[brisk bloom]

It's up to you.

[zealous jay]

This route is the intended one i feel like

My machine beeped

[queen dragon]

You sure you unlocked this place with gourmand? Wasn't it always there?

[zealous jay]

Idk i assumed it was that one

[brisk bloom]

Gourmand unlocked a place.

But is it really this one?

[zealous jay]

With gourmand i couldn't enter this door.

[queen dragon]

Where did you explore with gourm?

[zealous jay]

i understand it alll

[zealous jay]

Outer expanse

I even found some other slugcats

Super cute ending tbh

[brisk bloom]

Should I fetch the 5 Pebbles dialogue from Gourmand's campaign for a refresher?

[zealous jay]

Pls

I kinda forgot it

I dont even know some of the artificer dialogue cuz it skipped too fast

Five pebbles is a fast speaker ig

[brisk bloom]

[...]
I do not believe my intended purpose will be much help to you. I can however encourage you and your kind to leave my facility grounds.

Unfortunately, the same locks that were supposed to prevent creatures from getting in, will now prevent you from getting out. Perhaps this strategy was ill conceived after all.

Allow me to just...

Go west, through the underground tunnels at the outskirts of my territory. You will find the gate to the world outside of it now unlocked.

In return I ask that you encourage your community, through whatever method of communication you choose to employ, to also go west. Off into the wastes below, far away from me and my work.

Also, remember that you can pause the game during dialogues if you need more time to read.

[zealous jay]

Ah that's a thing????

Thanks I'll put it to use next time

I'll just continue genociding ig

this place is scavenger helll

So so so many scavengers and chaos

I killed 4 of them without even noticing cuz i was trying to escape a flying centipede and a shooting vulture

[brisk bloom]

Judging by 5 Pebbles' dialogue with Artificer, it appears that he has a bit of an issue with scavengers taking residence in his city and causing problems.

He has kindly and politely requested you to solve the issue.

[...]

However, if you intend to carry that device around and masquerade as one of my citizens, then perhaps you can at least properly perform your responsibility of tending to this superstructure.

From the glimpses I've been shown of your journey so far, it is apparent you have a need to inflict violence against the scavenger population. While I find your way of life appalling, it seems we share a common enemy.

A large pack of them has made a home in my city, and have been causing progressive damage to the roof of my structure in their attempts to gather scrap metal and other mechanical parts.

As my dutiful citizen, I would encourage you to return home to your city and pay them a visit.

Perhaps in that way, we can both depart from this interaction with something we desire. 

In case you missed his dialogue with Arti as well.

[zealous jay]

Ye they killed my children

I had dreams about them

I finished the game though

I'm the leader

<@&1137895527271379055> which slug now

The watery one or spearmaster

[queen dragon]

I prefer to go with spearmaster first

[zealous jay]

I honestly really want to play spear master

[zealous jay]

Well if it's before the watery one in story I'm in

[queen dragon]

also congrats

[zealous jay]

Thx it was fun to fight a boss

[queen dragon]

both of them should be available at this point

[zealous jay]

Ye they are that's why i didn't know which one to choose

Whatever I'll just go spear master cuz it look interesting

[brisk bloom]

Both are interesting, but they have very different play styles.

Spearmaster has a ton of lore in it though, which might help you understand a few things better.

[coarse halo]

gratz !

[zealous jay]

Guys

<@&1137895527271379055>

five Pebbles

Keeps

Killing

Me

It yoinks a pearl from me

[fossil crater]

Maybe try going a different way

[queen dragon]

maybe he tries to deliver a message to you

like... get out of my room

[zealous jay]

Did i skip a part or wha?

[fossil crater]

very friendly and affectionate way to say that

[zealous jay]

yep just yoinks a pearl from me then sends me out of the room

[fossil crater]

Nah but if you keep dying to the same thing (that isn’t a normal hungry creature) perhaps it isn’t where you should be

animoso’s tip is 100/10

[zealous jay]

Mgm

I can only go to

Chimney Canopy

Or the exterior 😐😶‍🌫️

The exterior sucks

So much

And i already came from chimney

Is there any in game clue guiding me

Orange thing kept telling me to go five pebbles

[fossil crater]

Not specifically but you can always go to key areas you remember from previous campaigns

[zealous jay]

Don't make me go to outer expanse or smth 😭

Depths???

What about

I go to sky islands

It's very close

I could re check

Chimney yoo

Too*

[queen dragon]

what significant places did you visit in previous campaigns?

[zealous jay]

Five pebbles mostly. Visited looks to the moon once too

[queen dragon]

why did you visit moon?

[zealous jay]

Should i go to looks to the moon

[zealous jay]

I only visited her on my first ever playthrough by accident

[queen dragon]

oh and never again?

[fossil crater]

perhaps you should check her out more

[zealous jay]

Yes usually because i don't have tbe mind reading thing when i visit her and after getting the mind thing returning to her sucks

[fossil crater]

[zealous jay]

Ew scavenger

[fossil crater]

but he give u cheeseburger

[queen dragon]

lemme help

[zealous jay]

After artificer i started to kill them on sight 😴

[queen dragon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1295244891559034922/1387151113303752845/delicious.gif

[zealous jay]

I could kill and take it back

[fossil crater]

bad sprinkles >:(

[zealous jay]

Whatever I'll find a easy path to

Looks to the moon

From the wall 😭

[fossil crater]

The more you do it the easier it gets also

[zealous jay]

Moon has a very small room anyway it should come to me by itself 🙏

[fossil crater]

I wish that was the case too…….

[zealous jay]

Let the suffering beginn

A new adventure for me ig

[fossil crater]

You got this!!

don’t lose your pearl also

[zealous jay]

I'll probably hate the game 10x more for about 2-3 hours then love it 30x more afterwards

[zealous jay]

It's still in my chest

I didn't go to pebbles this time

So i haven't met pebbles yet probably

Cuz i died

Should i go to pebbles and let it rip it out then carry by hand??

Or chest works

[fossil crater]

if you acquire it again just don’t lose it

[zealous jay]

I don't have the hole in my chest now

So i have it ig

[fossil crater]

up to you how you go about it!

[zealous jay]

Chest is safer and lets me have 2 spears

I still don't know why pebbles get mad when they read the pearl

[zealous jay]

I will get a passage and go to the closest den to looks to the moon

[zealous jay]

<@&1137895527271379055> did i ruin something for not letting fibe pebbles rip the pearl from me

Because after it killed me instead of going back to it i just went to the leg to go looks to the moon

[queen dragon]

I mean... you can always come back in case of anything can you?

[zealous jay]

But that way is too long id rather quit the slug

[queen dragon]

there are passages available as well

[zealous jay]

why is spearmaster so hard 😭

[fossil crater]

You’re just not used to it yet

[brisk bloom]

Have you seen how many bones Spearmaster has in his system?
No wonder he's hard.

If you like your scugs softer, Gourmand is also a good choice.

[zealous jay]

i have been

trying to

gain

max karma

for hours

but nothing even spawns and when they do they are in a bad spot

<@&1137895527271379055>

im in zero karma again 😭

already used dragonslayer and the survivor (literally spent one on nothinh because i forgot to choose den)

[queen dragon]

Why do you need karma?

[zealous jay]

gate

to the

looks to the mon

moon*

from precipice

tips or anything to find food because mines stopped spawning

[wild crown]

Precipice is quite big, surely you can find food there

[queen dragon]

Maybe try to find another way. Or travel somewhere else to farm karma and come back here ready to cross the gate

[zealous jay]

ill have to parkour then 😭

[wild crown]

Well, yeah

[zealous jay]

i hate this game with passion 🙏

[wild crown]

This isn't the only route to Moon

[zealous jay]

is there one with zero karma requirement

lemme check the wiki

ill not think twice if it isnt from shaded citadel

i cannot see miros bird

or ill get even more traumatized

[wild crown]

Try exploring precipice

[zealous jay]

i checked the wiki and found a zero karma door. thank you for saving my run 🙏

[fossil crater]

Part of the reason those doors have requirements is to make you learn how to survive in a given area
There will always be food and always be a way to get to the karma needed

All food sources eventually respawn so it’s impossible to deplete an area too

[zealous jay]

stuck

<@&1137895527271379055>

is this place possible with spear master

[fossil crater]

what do you mean by this?

[tropic grove]

everything is possible.

[zealous jay]

can i go up

wait i gotta go to the left

[fossil crater]

there is pretty much always another route to get to where you want to be

[zealous jay]

the another route wants max karma and id rather quit the game all together

ill find a way from here

[fossil crater]

you can always just eat and shelter in the same spot a few times

you dont have to move to a new spot, and food respawns

[zealous jay]

still very hard

food respawns very slow

i found a way through the 0 karma door anyway

why why why why why are those things that pull you down are invisible

[fossil crater]

what things?

[zealous jay]

monster kelp

my brightness was low

[fossil crater]

ah i see

you got this!! every challenge can be overcome one way or another

[zealous jay]

yeah its just gonna take time

[zealous jay]

<@&1137895527271379055> do i have to go through the luna to get to looks to the moon

[versed otter]

Only one way to find out

[zealous jay]

im in the same room but

[fallow hinge]

have you reached her already?

[zealous jay]

her room is in the room

i checked almost everywhere but let me check again

if it doesnt work

ill go to luna

[dreamy plank]

wdym by that

[zealous jay]

isnt this her room

[dreamy plank]

😨

[zealous jay]

will i go through the luna

[dreamy plank]

that's the whole region, which part are you referring to

[zealous jay]

im in the den in the blue area

[dreamy plank]

you cannot access her room from that side, no.
(obligatory mention that we heavily discourage using external map resources and the wiki and whatnot)

[zealous jay]

i honestly couldnt do without them

looks to the moon is reaaally confusing

[dreamy plank]

I bet you could :P

[zealous jay]

i tried not using maps with artificier and got lost so bad i used the map to see i was the opposite place from where i wanted to be

[dreamy plank]

the secret to finding things is simple: Go to the places you have not already been and you'll eventually find everything 🙂

but genuinely, just look on your map for unexplored pipes and it tends to solve most cases of The Lost™

[zealous jay]

yeah but i dont want to explore like seven brides thing with miros birds while playing artficer

[dreamy plank]

why not 🥺

[fossil crater]

if you are going to use a map anyway, the answers lie within it

but i second kalum in believing that you have the ability to find things by exploring without it

[zealous jay]

because dark area and miros birds

[dreamy plank]

that's what explosions are for 😎

[zealous jay]

dark areas is the number one thing that made me rage quit the game multiple times

[fossil crater]

the game does provide you with a map that shows the room geometry and reveals paths you havent taken

[zealous jay]

checking the map every 3 sec sucks

[fossil crater]

then dont check every 3 seconds,,

[zealous jay]

but i get lost you dont know how bad i am loll

[fossil crater]

you only get better at it with practice

[zealous jay]

yeah i try to not use maps until end game but in the end game places like looks to the moon confuse me

i wouldnt get lost a 2nd time tho

so if i come here with another sluf

ill not use maps

[fossil crater]

how do you know its endgame

[zealous jay]

because since i started playing downpour i noticed iterators are close to the end

like five pebbles is usually one of the last things i visit before finishing

its my 2nd ever time going to looks to the moon

1st was with survivor
