golden forge
modest root

||also why does he flashbang us||

modest root
#

the weaver looks so sick though

raw pasture
# jolly solar

unfortunately, once they've caught your scent invisibility cannot save you

modest root
#

||so regal, i didnt expect that at alllll||

clear hill
silver ravine
golden forge
silver ravine
#

||it woudnt make any sence for a region to have a single room anyways||

jolly solar
#

the whale abandoned me

clear hill
#

but you can see what i mean

#

... or hear it

smoky sandal
#

btw

#

is there an angler unlock?

modest root
#

wow the weaver is like

#

omnipresent

#

multiple regions at once

jolly solar
modest root
#

guys got a hustle damn

smoky sandal
modest root
#

the weaver encounters are timed, right

#

like, if i dont visit him fast enough, he finishes closing the portal?

jolly solar
#

idk

modest root
#

is it cycle based?

smoky sandal
#

where's the unlock

#

👀

modest root
#

or does going through portals also do it

#

like if i just never sleep will the weaver stay put

inland needle
#

How do I read the new lore stuff?

modest root
#

i dont want to get weaver ending before spinning top

#

or prince

inland needle
modest root
#

||sick thanks||

raw pasture
#

||pretty sure sheltering in a region weaver is in doesnt do anything, you just can't shelter after finding the gold rift||

smoky sandal
modest root
#

i found the ||anglerfish||

inland needle
inland needle
modest root
#

prince dosent need to ascend for the true ending right

smoky sandal
modest root
#

salination

smoky sandal
inland needle
smoky sandal
#

they told me there was anglerfish in fetid glen

inland needle
smoky sandal
#

i was lied to

jolly solar
jolly solar
#

I saw one

#

you just didnt explore enough

smoky sandal
#

nvm

smoky sandal
#

with eels

short urchin
#

ant, did you resume on your current save?

smoky sandal
#

oh no....

#

dont tell me

short urchin
#

ok, so that's the problem with resuming on the current save

smoky sandal
#

😭

short urchin
#

no creatures get updated

limber solstice
smoky sandal
#

after all i went trough

jolly solar
#

Im gonna go get food

smoky sandal
#

is it really like that!?

jolly solar
#

in badlands

smoky sandal
#

.

short urchin
#

which at worst leads to some regions breaking, but best case scenario is creatures just don't update

smoky sandal
short urchin
jolly solar
#

you can use devtools and warp menu in a new save

smoky sandal
#

tell me, brother

modest root
#

you just need to wake him up right

clear hill
#

yeah

smoky sandal
raw pasture
#

correct

short urchin
#

you should be able to use it to reset the spawns

jaunty lake
#

wait i need to wake the prince up?

clear hill
#

explode the spawns 💥

smoky sandal
#

the only problem is rotted regions

short urchin
#

no, you'll have to not die

smoky sandal
#

what will happen to the rotted creatures

short urchin
#

rotted regions won't have their spawns reset, due to the way rotting is coded

smoky sandal
#

oh gosh

#

you saved me

candid parrot
#

Okay after playing a while I finally understand spiral warping || After the initial tutorial, ripple spawns will become much more common throughout the campaign. In your sleep screen you can now see your current amount collected as displayed by the spiral. Once you’ve filled the meter, watcher will glow brightly and then you have the ability to spiral warp again||

smoky sandal
#

so.

silver ravine
#

||if you fully unrot a region using weaver powers would that clasify that region as unrotted||

jolly solar
#

welp i gotta go now

smoky sandal
#

i need to use warp to restart every single region

#

got it

smoky sandal
jolly solar
#

can't keep playing anymore

#

:(

raw pasture
#

sad

split atlas
#

really hope the bugfix patch releases alongside (or before) the main release because i've been sitting with a save file stuck at the end of ||Weaver portal closing quest|| since monday. like Yeah i guess i could've played with an all-new save but at this point i'd rather just wait for the fix

clear hill
#

its a bandaid fix of course

jaunty lake
#

question about progression im very early on ||i found a yellow echo creature in shattered terrace and cant find any others, am i just not looking hard enough or am i missing something||

clear hill
split atlas
clear hill
#

just wanted to let you know its an option

short urchin
smoky sandal
jaunty lake
clear hill
# smoky sandal what does it do

it tells the game to shut up about broken warps for things you need to ||seal still so that you can achieve the ending conditions||

split atlas
#

ynow what i think i'll take you up on the mod offer

clear hill
raw pasture
golden forge
clear hill
split atlas
clear hill
#

yknow id go crazy if i wasnt able to play for a day because i work tomorrow on the release date hunterkek

#

im so happy for this beta, no matter how buggy it is

#

i need more rainworld lore to chew on

golden forge
#

real

bleak cobalt
#

Anyone know why the shattered terrace and outer rim portals stop working in daemon after a while

#

Is it a bug?

clear hill
#

yes, portals in general have been breaking a lot and its known

modest root
#

so wait

bleak cobalt
#

Ok, thank you

modest root
#

theres a warp requirement for an ending?

#

3 or 4?

clear hill
#

the one related to the warp entity

modest root
#

i see

#

is it as tedious as prince

clear hill
#

not really because you get immediate feedback

raw pasture
#

it does take a while though

modest root
#

okay

#

well

#

i have warp menu

#

so

#

shrug

jolly solar
#

Chat someone give me an image of the new whale that distracts locusts

jolly solar
#

Thx

#

I’d also like an image of the diplocaulus and the angler

jolly solar
#

Awesome thx

#

I think the anglerfish is mechanical in nature

#

It sounds mechanical as hell

raw pasture
#

the actual angler is pretty biological looking though. its probably a blend, like just about everything else in rw

jolly solar
#

its lure is definitely mechanical

#

And the jaws are probably too

#

Considering it sounds like a leviathan

WATCHER 1.5 GUIDE AND CHANGES
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bWDmXoUUxu7u6Hs-ja3UBezDbf-psJFEanBOhXFkXAc/edit?usp=sharing
Hello, I've finished this general guide. Beware of small spoilers, I would not recommend reading if you want to go in completely blind!

If you need guidance on how to get to the new content, this is a great document to reference for now until the wiki updates.

smoky sandal
clear hill
clear hill
#

whenever you reenter the region, it should override the spawns

smoky sandal
gritty pagoda
#

wheres spinning top in heat ducts?

jolly solar
#

I got hungry

#

She was tasty

turbid onyx
modest root
#

@clear hill guide is a bit deceptive

#

||portals do not need to be in interesting rooms, just in the region||

#

||the portal will be linked to the weaver room via ripplespace "strings"||

clear hill
#

oh my

#

thats what i get for datamining the game LOL

gritty pagoda
#

ok found her is salination still found through heat ducts?

clear hill
#

WHAT WAS I FIGHTING (google docs links) FOOOOOOORRR

devout laurel
#

Wait so weaver ||closes half then after that you have to get every rift that is left?||

split crag
silver ravine
#

Millipede

raw pasture
bleak cobalt
#

does ||visiting the weaver enough times|| lock you out of ||waking the prince up|| if you haven't ||opened enough portals in outer rim|| before that point?

split crag
raw pasture
lucid oyster
#

That’s not nice bro

devout laurel
raw pasture
#

yes

silver ravine
raw pasture
lucid oyster
#

Do they do anything

#

Or are they just like sticky

silver ravine
#

they crawl around

lucid oyster
#

Disgusting

lucid oyster

Parasite

#

unfinished creeetures.... hartbreaking

smoky sandal
#

holy fuck

#

they're real

#

the angler

silver ravine
#

what the hell i was watching a millipede enter a shortcut and for somereason slowly every segment teleported to the shortcut before going through the pipe

river rune
#

Guys I have applied with sucess windchime version, so is just turn on in the remix the watcher and the beta is there will be there?

silver ravine
#

why even is it a yellow square

lucid oyster
#

Maybe it’s just gonna be like not evil centipedes

silver ravine
#

why not just have no icon

clear hill
#

i see you typing bro saintsmirk

river rune
#

I removed all the DLC

clear hill
#

then all should be good monkjoy

short urchin
clear hill
#

thank you i love non white pages because google docs burns my eyes

river rune
#

it downloaded like 3GB of stuff

short urchin
#

I use a dark grey color with almost white text (I think I just color-picked the discord dark theme)

river rune
#

and yes on addictional content it is off

#

I just restarted the campaign

silver ravine
clear hill
#

i think i made the HR_Layers_Of_Reality room doc back when downpour first dropped in the same background color actually...

#

funny coincidence

river rune
#

I cant send images cuz I got hacked before and the hacker sent a lot of those spam things on servers slugpup

#

is there a way I can recover my power of sending images

short urchin
#

you should probably talk to a server staff instead of a random channel

#

maybe dm courier idk

river rune
#

yeah

#

just wanted to show the DLC content is turned off

silver ravine
river rune
#

the thing

proud shoal
#

So the final and true ending is ||the watcher becoming a voidworm|| does it have a proper name?

silver ravine
#

||dont think so||

proud shoal
#

Is it the ||final ending?||

silver ravine
#

||yes||

raw pasture
#

||nope theres actually a secret 6th ending where watcher meets sliver of straw||

clear hill
#

||wait whats the 5th ending!?|| /j

proud shoal
#

Think we know the ||void and the rot are polar opposites now and at the time kind of the same thing... Both are Ascension||

kind kiln
#

watcher very spoilers chat, should i do the new update tomorrow on a new save or continue from the one i got the toys ending on?

#

ive avoided spoiling myself on anything so far

silver ravine
#

recommended to do a new save

clear hill
#

^^

devout laurel
clear hill
#

theres a lot of changed content, so a new playthrough would be like experiencing watcher for the first time again imo

kind kiln
#

gotcha

raw pasture
proud shoal
#

||Unfortunate evolution means that they are simaler but the prince ending meaning they are opposed||

kind kiln
#

ill poof out of this chat now so im not tempted by the shiny grey boxes of spoiler

devout laurel
#

also is this ||purple stuff|| ever explained

proud shoal
#

We know the ||prince was being opposed by a greater force||

raw pasture
clear hill
#

||which we now know as the weaver, the one stopping the rot from spreading to all realities||

proud shoal
#

Meaning ||the rot will eventually become like the void due to the unfortunate evolution... But they also are opposed the prince vs void weaver||

clear hill
#

||i actually see the rot worm as the natural course of a cyclical reality like that eventually falling apart at its fringes, the rot worm's existence is basically a sign of reality itself falling apart to the point it could manifest... as the void worms are the opposite, presumably existing because the desire for all things to become devoid has increased greatly with the benefactors influence-||

#

god i feel like im saying straight bullshit but thats how rainworld lore be

#

LOL

proud shoal
#

True lol well I think downpour and watcher are both canon

clear hill
#

hmmm i think they can coexist yeah, distant adjacent reality and all that

proud shoal
#

||watcher canonized downpour with the final ending||

silver ravine
#

i say no since artificer changes how karma works

modest root
#

I think it's easier to look at as three seperate timelines

clear hill
#

i feel like that was apparent to me in the 1.0 release, but thats just cuz i predicted a lot of the nature of the watcher before the new lore content

#

hehehaha

modest root
#

downpour is one timeline, watcher is another, and vanilla is another again

clear hill
#

wait i have a doodle i did after watcher dropped i need to look back on

eternal timber
#

ye

clear hill
#

i was genuiinely insane

modest root
#

vanilla would be where litterally nothing happens

#

the iterators eventually collapse, no fanfare

turbid onyx
modest root
#

things die, the cycle continues

raw pasture
eternal timber
modest root
#

well yeah, but even then

jolly solar
#

I’m ngl I dislike how watcher uses a lot of the downpour creatures

clear hill
#

wait i cant find the doodle i dont remember where i sent it

modest root
#

moon doesn't do anything after that, hunter is set before right

clear hill
#

oh.. maybe watcher lore monklaugh

raw pasture
turbid onyx
#

yea

clear hill
#

this was like 3 days after the drop of 1.0 btw

bold sun
#

monksilly Hiya chat, hope everyone's having a good time in the beta. I'm gonna be jumping into the update tomorrow, delightfully blind, but l think I'd like to maintain a numerical checklist as l encounter stuff to ensure l don't miss out a thing.
Could someone send me, in plain numbers only, the amount of new critters and of new regions? sainthappy

clear hill
#

you will want to start a new save if you didnt plan to already, because creature spawns have changed and wont update properly if you play from an existing save

bold sun
#

The amount of endings I'll abstain from perhaps, since l did get inkling about funny business being involved, variants of a same ending probably. I'll find out myself (if it's intuitive)

#

Yeah I'll do a new save, am well aware of the screwed up creature spawns issue

raw pasture
bold sun
#

Oh! I'll allow myself one more question. Are all endings independent still? Can be gotten in any order? Or is there any "you NEED the rot ending to access this next plot" or uh "you need to NOT HAVE ripplespace yet to get this plot" funny business huhnter

eternal timber
#

so like, first purposed organism (because hunter assumedly a slugcat) sent to give the info to pebbles (in downpour it's spearmaster's mission before the campaign and wanderer from the drought mod is the first journey) pebbles "locks in" and uses all the water, forced broadcast happens which makes the rot (regular cancer variation), pebbles doesn't listen, moon dies, hunter, survivor&monk (with how close they are especially with downpour I consider the canon version is a co-op survivor and monk lol) and then with how iterators heat the world up when they all eventually either die or figure the AAA out it, it becomes essentially saint's worldstate (with how pebbles is doing a form of riv's worldstate would probably exist too)

bold sun
#

Basically am just asking if there's any artificer situation where different endings lock each other out

clear hill
raw pasture
eternal timber
bold sun
#

Well it's an unappealing ending so no real complaints

clear hill
#

LOL indeed

bold sun
#

Thank you all for the info!

raw pasture
#

good luck, try not to get eaten by worms

bold sun
#

|| also that's pretty smaller numbers than l expected saintpensive it prolly pays off good though ||

eternal timber
clear hill
#

creatures also take an incredibly long time to make too

#

so theres that

eternal timber
#

||well if it doesn't have anything to eat it will just die sooooo||

bold sun
#

Would you recommend getting spinny ending out of the way quickly to have the high-ripple abilities going into the other stuff?

clear hill
#

yes

raw pasture
#

yeah

clear hill
#

its really nice to have it early

bold sun
#

Got it

eternal timber
#

also did they move Spin in heat ducts or did they just remove her?

raw pasture
#

moved i think

eternal timber
#

ok do you know where she is?

clear hill
#

to thermal arrays

eternal timber
#

thermal arrays? that's where I spawned!

#

no, person that put fire, I already moved to her old position

clear hill
#

NOOO

eternal timber
#

I am on opposite side :(

#

tho I am in fire area so it is accurate

gritty pagoda
#

where is salination in heat ducts, where it was before is now where spinning top was?

bold sun
#

Here's a related-but-different topic general question, do any of you know if watcher also uses the "game+" systematic where if you delete and restart a save all the found map data gets retained in the new one?

gritty pagoda
#

it does seem to use it

clear hill
#

i think so? though its just in region maps and not the region map itselfffffff i thiiiinkkk

#

idk i havent restarted yet

eternal timber
#

awww I love how the heat of rooms that use lots of fire/being close to fire makes the watcher squint from the heat

bold sun
#

Yeah l don't mind if the Ball Of Yarn has to be remade from scratch that's no biggie

eternal timber
#

also being up next to fire is more like wincing like the other danger closeness eye shuts

bold sun
#

I spent a lotta effort filling out these region maps tho under the guise of getting a smooth experience when l restart hunterclose

clear hill
#

understandable

#

oh man i need to like actually do something...

#

i need to draw... water art

#

(watcher)

strange osprey
#

where echo.....

eternal timber
#

ok I am back at the top shelter, the one at the turbulent portal

bold sun
eternal timber
strange osprey
#

thermal array

#

qhar where’s that

eternal timber
#

thermal relay*

eternal timber
#

I just got from down there

#

it's actually not as far as I thought

strange osprey
#

i came from the top

eternal timber
#

same

strange osprey
eternal timber
#

turbulent portal?

strange osprey
#

where’s he

#

there’s a portal in the room above

#

but it’s not there

#

it’s supposed to have a echo

#

1.5 change i guess?

eternal timber
# strange osprey

yea thermal relay is on the other side of that room than the normal way, that portal is put there when you echo from turbulent

strange osprey
#

ooh

#

so no echo for me?

eternal timber
#

I was told there was on in thermal relay

#

one*

strange osprey
#

qhar

#

i’m confused

#

which room specifically?

eternal timber
#

this way

strange osprey
#

ooh i know

eternal timber
#

idk just in thermal relay somewhere

strange osprey
#

wrong ss….

#

i meant this

#

right

#

or is it just a portal

#

okay never mind

#

i’ll just explore

eternal timber
#

since she was moved I don't think it's on a map

modest root
#

woahh

#

nobody told me ||fourth weaver encounter gave unlimited one way safe warps||

hollow notch
#

hi chat i just finished the new endings. that was. It certainly was

modest root
#

||does weaver level affect invis at all||

hollow notch
#

i bawled my eyes out, 100/10 dlc 👍

raw pasture
hollow notch
modest root
#

kk

#

pretty tail

#

and also ||does anyone know if weaver one way warps prioritize regions with rifts, in the same way they do uninfected ones for prince?||

limber solstice
devout laurel
#

how do you know when you have ||closed all warps? ||do you have to go somewhere?

modest root
#

||also i never wouldve guessed the weaver feather unused pngs would appear on the watcher himself lol||

proud shoal
#

Any unused content left after 1.5?

limber solstice
modest root
#

oh my god this is so useful

#

||i didnt notice the threads still existed||

proud shoal
modest root
#

||i assume they lead you towards the rifts?||

#

||after you and weaver come to an agreement||

limber solstice
proud shoal
#

Ah

proud shoal
limber solstice
modest root
#

||straight up weaving it||

limber solstice
silver wedge
#

alright i just got ||rot prince out of his bubble|| how do i ||progress weaver ending||?

modest root
humble geyser
#

uh, important question
||after I get the weaver ending how am I supposed to progress the rot ending||

proud shoal
modest root
#

||why am i glowing does this mean i have to go see daddy weaver||

limber solstice
#

||watcher's just so empathetic that they uh. absorb the physical characteristics of everyone they encounter who isn't a tree||

raw pasture
humble geyser
#

||or is there something else I need to figure out||

modest root
#

||is my glow just beacuse im becoming a weaver||

#

||is it just like his halo||

raw pasture
limber solstice
#

||i phrased this as a joke but it's genuinely a plausible reason||

humble geyser
#

there spoiler bars aren't helping when you don't reply to the person

modest root
#

||does it like, gradually lower the sentient rot percentage?||

humble geyser
#

idk if someone is answering my question

limber solstice
raw pasture
humble geyser
#

yeah I'll just go back to the big areas

raw pasture
modest root
modest root
proud shoal
#

Surprised by how much they changed|| daemon||

raw pasture
modest root
#

||it seems stronger halo = more infected room||

modest root
limber solstice
modest root
#

||can you failwarp as a weaver||

humble geyser
#

oh yeah I should update my bingo

limber solstice
modest root
#

||wow prince just called watcher an omega thats rude||

#

||and it seems that maybe watcher was always destined to be a weaver, prince mentions a familiar scent when hes first waking up, and then identifies it once you return as a weaver||

raw pasture
modest root
#

||how much new dialogue does prince have when youre a weaver?||

raw pasture
modest root
#

thanks

#

||i find it interesting he still treats you like a friend despite you actively closing the rifts he uses to grow||

has anyone made a watcher version of this yet

desert trail
#

,[[[[xhdjbdjsjs nooo

modest root
#

||i wonder what the symbolism behind the weaver having chain clanking sounds as opposed to the usual echo singing is||

#

oh yeah

#

do i miss anything if i dont go to daemon until i finish weaver

devout laurel
#

My Fetid to Sherrace warp works but wont be sewn up but then its like weird in sherrace and wont let me through

raw pasture
modest root
#

sick thats what i was asking

#

dont want to sidetrack myself

#

but also dont want to miss anything

devout laurel
#

how long does the 4th ending take in relation to 3rd?

silver ravine
#

much quicker

devout laurel
#

good

humble geyser
#

oh wait I figured it out: ||you only have to progress the rot ending to get the dream cutscene to meet the final ending condition||

#

good to know

#

it wasn't different until I did that

devout laurel
#

||should the OR - Daemon Warp still be open for weaver or do I have to close it somehow because it looks different than daemon warp stuff||

raw pasture
#

it should stay open

humble geyser
#

now let's see what this final ending is

#

be back once I'm done

raw pasture
#

have fun :)

rotted regions?

humble geyser
# humble geyser ok. now that playthrough is complete. Final thoughts
  1. best first playthrough of any game I have played
  2. (almost) every creature is very well made
  3. (almost) every region is one of my favorites in rain world (unexpectedly, the ridges are now some of my favorites)
    ||4. Fetid glen is held back by basilisks, I used to like basilisks but I don't anymore. 90% of my problems with basilisks would be solved if pipe protection prevented basilisk poison
  4. Figuring out the weaver ending... was more painful than it had to be. It took me 10 hours of playtime to see my first signs of a weaver, and ~6 more hours to figure out how to actually force an encounter with them. There is a very simple fix I would like to suggest but I will describe that in more detail after. The ending when you know how to meet the weaver is super fun and I wish it wasn't held back by that one issue
  5. Shoutout to decayed verdant waterways region immediately made the whole world feel more "tangible", added a lot for me. Also nice leviathan sky whale hunterglee||
    Overall, 9/10 that could easily be a 10/10 with pretty minor tweaks.

it did not help, the portal is still permanently open

thats great.

# humble geyser 1. best first playthrough of any game I have played 2. (almost) every creature i...

next time I see a dev in here I'll say this again but to expand on number 5:
||when you see a new thing for the first time, your first instinct is to immediately find the nearest shelter to save your progress. I got lucky my second time with the weaver being 1 room from the portal and might have been searching for hours longer if that never happened.
Once I figured out sleeping made it go away, I was then so scared to ever shelter once I saw even feathers on the map. I didn't know what caused them to appear and even once I did I didn't know the conditions to make them disappear so I brute forced it and went all the way in 1 cycle trying to never die on the way. I even tried to replicate everything I did on the way to my first weaver since I didn't know what the conditions were, such as waking up with karma protection and passing but not grabbing a karma flower on the way||

modest root
#

so i cannot do the weaver ending

#

and thus cannot get either new ending

# humble geyser next time I see a dev in here I'll say this again but to expand on number 5: ||w...

||and so back to this, what's the solution? Something needs to appear when you first enter the room with a golden rift. It can be UI, something visual around slugcat, or anything else to signify that something happened but you aren't done with the process yet. Then, the most important part, if you are in a shelter whatever the marker is flashes and/or changes color/shape to inform you that sleeping will lose the state you are in||

#

||I don't want to code the game for the devs, this is just 1 possible solution, but whatever they decide to go with, it has to tell you when you gain the ability to meet them and what the conditions are to lose that state before you lose it||

#

anyway text wall over

worldly orchid
#

i'm probably so late to the train but how does one progress the weaver questline ?? i've seen the feathers on the map but nothing else that seems to indicate them/how to find them

#

||outer rim ripple spawn seem to be leading me somewhere but i've already found the spiral room once and don't want to waste a hike if it turns out there's nothing there otherwise i've got nothing||

modest root

#

can someone send a picture of the ||new coral caves (?) lizard?|| if anyone has one :)

modest root

find the gold portal, enter ripplespace, follow the threads, they belong to him

humble geyser

||I do want to add to the end of this, I don't hate the ending, I just think having a puzzle that gives you 0 feedback when you did something wrong is an issue with it||

raw pasture
#

the side view doesnt do a good job of showing off how stupid its face is though so i can get a better one if you want

tough moss

meaning you cannot sleep once in the same region as the weaver

unfortunately i believe my run is also softlocked

LOL

wispy solstice
# silver ravine Have you seen the portals you make turn yellow?

as of right now my idea of how they work is this
||in a room with a karma flower, make a portal||
||find another karma flower, come to the portal you made from a different direction, it'll be golden||
||go into ripplespace, then follow the purple thread to the location of the weaver||

#

i don't know if this is correct or not

#

that's just what i've come to assume so far from just playing

humble geyser

oh yeah I'll put this guy here, collection lizard 45 is here

#

no name yet

also had this guy in my images folder since like day 2 of regular watcher... maybe they will be added as well...

alrighty, that gives an idea of one region i gotta get to then

but in any case

to confirm this so far

oh yeah I can get the ID of that white lizard now

1 - ||make a portal in any region using a karma flower||
2 - ||approach the entrance it after a few cycles away||
