timid vector
First time playing Downpour, Switch version, and started out with Gourmand.
Any tips for this character? I'm also kinda lost on what to do since, ironically, the map is almost all revelead, and the starting area is pitch black... but I got a hold of at least 1 glowing ball. Currently, I'm heading left on ||Shaded Citadel||.

Can you please spoiler tag Shaded Citadel in the intro message?

Gourmand has several skills and abilities that other slugcats don't have. Try to discover them and make use of them. Adapt your playstyle to your new slugcat and you'll have an easier time through your run.
It can be surprisingly fun to play Gourmand if you know how they work. 
spare carbon
Gourmand is my prefered one !

I think I need to go through the basic movement stuff again since its been so long and I had forgotten you could even roll 
spare carbon
yeah take your time

Sometimes before starting a rain worlding session I spend a bit of time in Arena to refresh my move techs.
Limber up those fingers and remember stuff I might have forgotten.
Arena is a good spot for practicing stuff, be it combat or movement.

My tip is taking time with the campaign. Don't rush to the end, instead get used to Gourmand's abilities and a new playstyle. It might feel very limiting at first, but once overcome the learning curve you'll likely be enjoying the experience.

Any tips for dealing with the evil kelps that hang from the ceiling? I'm adventuring through the lower parts of SC but having some trouble. Does Gourmand have more difficulty sneaking through?
lean shuttle
Sone slugcats are better at stealth than others. Still, the evil kelps have a rather peculiar behavior. If you pay attention you might be able to understand them better and sneak past.

Spent ages trying to get around a single ceiling kelp only to arrive on the other room in complete darkness and be spawncamped by another kelp

How do you keep the frame rate killing/shadow spiders at bay in SD? Even with 2 glowing orbs they keep swarming me
spare carbon
u might be using wrong item on them but i wont say more
timid vector
Its 2 of the orange ones you get when combining orange slime + rubble, they emit a lot of light and scare the small ones away, but the rooms im trying to traverse always have the ultra large amalgamations of spiders that eventually jump me
timid vector
Got around to it and even got my first lizard hunt ever, I dont think I managed to kill a single lizard in the entirety of Monk and Survivor 
After that and crafting and eating a mushroom, I managed to reach SL, since I saw the next target was a squid

Niiice.
The first lizard kill is always a moment of celebration. An aspiring hunter improving their skills and seeking bigger prey.
Now go hunt a bird.
timid vector
On Survivor and Monk I only just avoided stuff, and got quite good at it, but was afraid of fighting back (at least with just a spear)
Then I tried Hunter and... things didnt go well lol 
Cant event imagine taking down a bird 
timid vector
Can the stone be a black hole bomb 
lean shuttle
Yes, but only if you don't die from said bomb too.
timid vector
How do I get around Salamanders as Gourmand, this scug is not the fastest swimmer
timid vector
Oh and also, a giant vulture tried fishing me out of the water but thankfully I dodged it 
timid vector
I tought Moon would talk to me even without a colored pearl, but shes still silent 
Oh I forgor u need to talk to 5p first
timid vector
Ngl im kinda glad Shorelines map is blank cuz Its like I get to explore it for the first time again 
And I see that there are some new areas near Moon too. But even with a Jetfish I cant seem to reach it before Gourmand drowning... 
timid vector
Got to Garbage Wastes and me and my boys (scavs) ganged up on a yellow lizard 
But I still need to find my next target, which are the Hazers... I got to the Drainage Systems gate really fast but wonder if should explore more here first... 
worn arrow
both seem like good options
timid vector
Got one in GW! But wait, GW now has a path to Shaded Citadel?? 
left ruin
timid vector
Good news: this part of the Shaded Citadel has lots of Eggbugs
Bad news: this part of the Shaded Citadel has lots of Spiders

timid vector
Oh wow, I followed this path and ended up at the same spot I tried getting to at the beggining of this run! 
timid vector
Fun thing is, even if not Gourmand exclusive, a lot of these new regions/subregions and paths are a first time for me, since when I did Monk and Survivor I didnt have Downpour
worn arrow
that's the fun thing about downpour, it adds so much more content there is always something new to see
timid vector
And so begins my journey up The 🦵

Stick leggy out reeeeal far.
