I fucked up
so much
Unless there’s more regions I haven’t found yet

ouch
im gonna pelt the devs with rocls
rip
you needed to wait more
rocks
yeah its just 3 new ones, though several old ones have been massively overhauled
aether ridge is no longer my least favorite region
||4.||
||4???||
i love the arg really was all new content which is insane
what do i do with the piss portal
theres 4 new regions?
mhm
||there's 5||
this shelter is entirely useless
||secret ant region
you unlock it by eating a background ant||

huh? i know ||migration zone, locust land (not real name), and pillar grove, but whats number 4?||
wait theres 4 regions? i know of the 3 reasonable, is there a hidden 4th or smth
OOOO
pretty much
hold up ill let you look at my doc early for the locations LOL
im cheating
dw
im just warping to him
i do not care for the gameplay at this point
i watchered out when i played through it the first two times
including the (dont unspoil if you dont wanna know) ||weaver one, which I count as a new one||
||pretty sure weaver is just daemon?||
ohh fair
bruhhh they moved the heat ducts echo to the end of thermal relay no wayyyy
ok thats not a region. ||its just a single flat super cool looking room that you visit exactly twice||
||i cant believe the voice in the first fucking trailer is the weaver||
||weaver sends you to deamon i think... I'm pretty sure it's differant||
ikr
the weaver looks so sick though
unfortunately, once they've caught your scent invisibility cannot save you
||so regal, i didnt expect that at alllll||
i wonder if ||the five pebbles voice similarities mean anything, because thats the first thing people noticed was the voice was like fp voice clips but really slow||
||in the files its just daemon||
zamn... I guess I was incorrect 
||it woudnt make any sence for a region to have a single room anyways||
https://youtu.be/Nvgvd2XISOk?si=_FilfN9EoSX9n-BT&t=300 on this, this is the only clip i can find that actually has the sped up version 
Woohoo 9 more days!!

the whale abandoned me
yes
guys got a hustle damn
where
the weaver encounters are timed, right
like, if i dont visit him fast enough, he finishes closing the portal?
idk
is it cycle based?
or does going through portals also do it
like if i just never sleep will the weaver stay put
How do I read the new lore stuff?
If you ||sleep, it disappears||
||sick thanks||
||pretty sure sheltering in a region weaver is in doesnt do anything, you just can't shelter after finding the gold rift||
how far are you in the game
i found the ||anglerfish||
||3 weaver encounters, half-ish portals closed permanently, did not rot enough regions. Ascended spinning top||
Epic creature holy ay shid
prince dosent need to ascend for the true ending right
WHERE
salination
try going above the workshop in ancient urban
Salt region or turbulent pump
going there instead
they told me there was anglerfish in fetid glen
Hmmmmmmmmm.............
i was lied to
I hate this game
there is one tho
I saw one
you just didnt explore enough
i literally explored the whole underwater part
with eels
ant, did you resume on your current save?
yes
oh no....
dont tell me
ok, so that's the problem with resuming on the current save
😭
no creatures get updated
there are more guaranteed spears in the room
do i have to restart everything back to 0?
after all i went trough
Im gonna go get food
is it really like that!?
in badlands
.
which at worst leads to some regions breaking, but best case scenario is creatures just don't update

there's something else you can do
you can use devtools and warp menu in a new save
^^^
you just need to wake him up right
yeah
yes
correct
I think this mod should still work
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3232143310&searchtext=fresh+spawns
THANKS
you should be able to use it to reset the spawns
wait i need to wake the prince up?
explode the spawns 💥
does it save even if i die?
the only problem is rotted regions
no, you'll have to not die
what will happen to the rotted creatures
rotted regions won't have their spawns reset, due to the way rotting is coded
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||
so.
||if you fully unrot a region using weaver powers would that clasify that region as unrotted||
welp i gotta go now
cya
sad
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
i made a mod to help with that if you wanna try it real quick
its a bandaid fix of course
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||
what did they look like exactly?
ehhhh... i'd rather not risk having mod dependency quirks on the proper release. not sure
just wanted to let you know its an option
unfortunately it'll likely be a a couple days after release
what does it do
||kinda hard to tell because of how warped my vision was, but it was a very bright yellow and said the line from the trailer||
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||
ynow what i think i'll take you up on the mod offer
ah yeah, youre pretty lucky and you can look for them more ||it is related to the new content after all|| if you need a hint just let us know
||after enough time rifts created by you turn golden. go into ripplespace and follow the threads nearby to find the weaver again||
it fixed the issue for me. 10/10 would recommend
#1419863420286664744 message check out my awesome mod post
i am not waiting another 3 days to finish 1.5's main content, all of my friends will be done with it by then lol
yknow id go crazy if i wasnt able to play for a day because i work tomorrow on the release date 
im so happy for this beta, no matter how buggy it is
i need more rainworld lore to chew on
real
Anyone know why the shattered terrace and outer rim portals stop working in daemon after a while
Is it a bug?
yes, portals in general have been breaking a lot and its known
so wait
Ok, thank you
not really because you get immediate feedback
it does take a while though
Chat someone give me an image of the new whale that distracts locusts
Awesome thx
I think the anglerfish is mechanical in nature
It sounds mechanical as hell
the actual angler is pretty biological looking though. its probably a blend, like just about everything else in rw
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.
RAIN WORLDWATCHER 1.5 CONTENT HINTS / GUIDE This guide is made in mind to experience the Watcher 1.5 update as spoiler-free as possible while still aiming to have a goal in mind so you don’t wander aimlessly for 30 hours. Beta branch specific issues are highlighted in blue. Spoilers will be ...
i clicked the button, it teels me next region load it will reset, what do i do now? do i warp with warp mod to other regions and do the same?

presumably, yes
whenever you reenter the region, it should override the spawns
K
wheres spinning top in heat ducts?
||angler ever so slightly looks like a sunfish||
@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"||
ok found her is salination still found through heat ducts?
WHAT WAS I FIGHTING (google docs links) FOOOOOOORRR
Wait so weaver ||closes half then after that you have to get every rift that is left?||
Millipede
||iirc every time you close a rift the void weaver closes another one||
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?
I was looking through the creature enums and found this abomination
||it does not stop you from waking prince up, but you are locked out of completing the prince ending||
Don’t call him that
That’s not nice bro
should I still be following the ||ripplespace thread stuff||?
yes
it leads you to ||the nearest rift||
they crawl around
Disgusting
Parasite
i hate to ask, but i dont have perms to pin this so can this be pinned? or i guess i'll repost this if this thread becomes obsolete and then it can be pinned then
also for some reason their icon is a yellow square
unfinished creeetures.... hartbreaking
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
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?
why even is it a yellow square
Maybe it’s just gonna be like not evil centipedes
why not just have no icon
did you make sure to uninstall the actual DLC?
i see you typing bro 
I removed all the DLC
then all should be good 
figured you'd get to it first so I stopped typing (also interesting color choice in the doc)
thank you i love non white pages because google docs burns my eyes
it downloaded like 3GB of stuff
I use a dark grey color with almost white text (I think I just color-picked the discord dark theme)
i think i made the HR_Layers_Of_Reality room doc back when downpour first dropped in the same background color actually...
funny coincidence
I cant send images cuz I got hacked before and the hacker sent a lot of those spam things on servers 
is there a way I can recover my power of sending images
you should probably talk to a server staff instead of a random channel
maybe dm courier idk
the thing
So the final and true ending is ||the watcher becoming a voidworm|| does it have a proper name?
||dont think so||
Is it the ||final ending?||
||yes||
||nope theres actually a secret 6th ending where watcher meets sliver of straw||
||wait whats the 5th ending!?|| /j
Think we know the ||void and the rot are polar opposites now and at the time kind of the same thing... Both are Ascension||
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
recommended to do a new save
i see it as (lore spoilers) ||the rot and void are two hands of the same thing that ascension represents, rot being oneness, and void being well devoid||
^^
my theory was correct rot is like physical and void is spiritual
theres a lot of changed content, so a new playthrough would be like experiencing watcher for the first time again imo
gotcha
new save. there's some glitches with old saves and you'd miss any changes to creature spawns
||Unfortunate evolution means that they are simaler but the prince ending meaning they are opposed||
ill poof out of this chat now so im not tempted by the shiny grey boxes of spoiler
also is this ||purple stuff|| ever explained
We know the ||prince was being opposed by a greater force||
||dont think so. imo its like a rift but on a significantly larger scale||
||which we now know as the weaver, the one stopping the rot from spreading to all realities||
Yup
Meaning ||the rot will eventually become like the void due to the unfortunate evolution... But they also are opposed the prince vs void weaver||
||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
True lol well I think downpour and watcher are both canon
hmmm i think they can coexist yeah, distant adjacent reality and all that
||watcher canonized downpour with the final ending||
i say no since artificer changes how karma works
I think it's easier to look at as three seperate timelines
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
downpour is one timeline, watcher is another, and vanilla is another again
wait i have a doodle i did after watcher dropped i need to look back on
ye
i was genuiinely insane
vanilla would be where litterally nothing happens
the iterators eventually collapse, no fanfare
||if its for the jungle section then not really, the concept of a lush jungle has been a thing since the base game and is literally in the watcher intro|| ending spoilers
things die, the cycle continues
||did it? sure watcher uses a lot of stuff from downpour but i dont think it necessarily makes all of downpour canon||
other than hunter
well yeah, but even then
I’m ngl I dislike how watcher uses a lot of the downpour creatures
wait i cant find the doodle i dont remember where i sent it
moon doesn't do anything after that, hunter is set before right
oh.. maybe watcher lore 
ye
||thats also what the intro of survivor/monk's campaign looks like, and since outer expanse is meant to be that place its easier to just reuse some assets from it instead of making the whole thing from scratch again||
yea
this was like 3 days after the drop of 1.0 btw
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? 
critters: like ||3/4||
regions: ||3||
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
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
for creatures, there's ||3|| with actual mechanics and ||2.5 (maybe 2.7?)|| that are more for spectacle
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 
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)
Basically am just asking if there's any artificer situation where different endings lock each other out
rot ending will not be required, but id still reccommend awaking the prince
the rot ending is blocked off if you progress too much towards a different ending, but it is not necessary for any other endings
wait, yall already know the lore, we are in watcher spoilers, yall know base game 
Well it's an unappealing ending so no real complaints
LOL indeed
Thank you all for the info!
good luck, try not to get eaten by worms
|| also that's pretty smaller numbers than l expected
it prolly pays off good though ||
I also am personally opposed to the rot so I will not be doing it and instead ||be happy smiting it into extinction (or ig just quarantining it lol)||
oh yes, they put their efforts elsewhere dont worry
creatures also take an incredibly long time to make too
so theres that
||well if it doesn't have anything to eat it will just die sooooo||
Would you recommend getting spinny ending out of the way quickly to have the high-ripple abilities going into the other stuff?
yes
yeah
its really nice to have it early
Got it
also did they move Spin in heat ducts or did they just remove her?
moved i think
ok do you know where she is?
thermal arrays? that's where I spawned!
no, person that put fire, I already moved to her old position
NOOO
where is salination in heat ducts, where it was before is now where spinning top was?
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?
it does seem to use it
i think so? though its just in region maps and not the region map itselfffffff i thiiiinkkk
idk i havent restarted yet

awww I love how the heat of rooms that use lots of fire/being close to fire makes the watcher squint from the heat
Yeah l don't mind if the Ball Of Yarn has to be remade from scratch that's no biggie
also being up next to fire is more like wincing like the other danger closeness eye shuts
I spent a lotta effort filling out these region maps tho under the guise of getting a smooth experience when l restart 
understandable
oh man i need to like actually do something...
i need to draw... water art
(watcher)
where echo.....
ok I am back at the top shelter, the one at the turbulent portal
Water world
at the thermal array I was told
thermal relay*
top
I just got from down there
it's actually not as far as I thought
i came from the top
same
turbulent portal?
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?
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
this way
ooh i know
idk just in thermal relay somewhere
wrong ss….
i meant this
right
or is it just a portal
okay never mind
i’ll just explore
since she was moved I don't think it's on a map
hi chat i just finished the new endings. that was. It certainly was
||does weaver level affect invis at all||
i bawled my eyes out, 100/10 dlc 👍
dont think so
||no, not from what i experienced||
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?||
||i suppose spinning top is the questline that upgrades your invis, weaver is the questline that upgrades your warping, and prince is the questline that upgrades your wretched rat stench||
Peak
how do you know when you have ||closed all warps? ||do you have to go somewhere?
||also i never wouldve guessed the weaver feather unused pngs would appear on the watcher himself lol||
trust me, you'll know
Any unused content left after 1.5?
starcatcher inside parallax is still scrapped
Parallax? I forget what that means.
||i assume they lead you towards the rifts?||
||after you and weaver come to an agreement||
fancy background
Ah
Yeah I remember that. Honestly no idea what that was even for or how that would fit in.
||so funny that it just kind of adopts you as a coworker||
||straight up weaving it||
it would've gone in the eastern starcatcher
alright i just got ||rot prince out of his bubble|| how do i ||progress weaver ending||?
||more of a son at this point lmao, you start to become a weaver yourself||
uh, important question
||after I get the weaver ending how am I supposed to progress the rot ending||
I see so as an unused minor area
||why am i glowing does this mean i have to go see daddy weaver||
||watcher's just so empathetic that they uh. absorb the physical characteristics of everyone they encounter who isn't a tree||
||you cant. fortunately, its not necessary for the final ending||
||do I have the information I need to find that||
||or is there something else I need to figure out||
||i think that means you're cleansing that room of rot||
||i phrased this as a joke but it's genuinely a plausible reason||
||what??||
there spoiler bars aren't helping when you don't reply to the person
||does it like, gradually lower the sentient rot percentage?||
idk if someone is answering my question
||oh god. can i still even hatch prince||
you should be good. maybe explore daemon if you haven't already though
yeah I'll just go back to the big areas
||dont worry you can||
||it does, i checked the devtools||
nobody is, no
Surprised by how much they changed|| daemon||
well i guess my name is nobody since i just did
||it seems stronger halo = more infected room||
nobody had, no*
||causing my beautiful flower son immense agony with my mere presence (he is corruption and my aura cleanses the world)||
||can you failwarp as a weaver||
oh yeah I should update my bingo
||nope. i am locked out of outer rim entirely because the warp in RS is broken||
||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||
||in my experience its only broken most of the time. keep going to and from daemon and eventually it should let you through||
||how much new dialogue does prince have when youre a weaver?||
||two visits worth||
thanks
||i find it interesting he still treats you like a friend despite you actively closing the rifts he uses to grow||
I got one prince dialogue and he was like, you have grown what is the other one?
||thank fuck for my newly gained warp fatigue immunity||
watcher is breaking my arena when i try to windchime now
I finally have float!
||he acknowledges the fact you are essentially killing him||
||and still treats you like a friend, pebbles could learn a thing or two||
ouuuhuhhg why are you not working i literally only have watcher enabled
current state of watcher bingo card (yellow = unconfirmed, blue = technically no but close enough)
have you disabled both dlcs in the steam menu?
im your god respect me
i forgot, how many visits does it take to hatch prince
||4?||
i just have them disabled in the remix menu
like this
currently have 1 bingo, 1 almost bingo, and 1 X bingo
first ||he is not there|| second ||he talks||, third ||he talks again|| 4th he ||hatches||
you need to have them disabled in steam, like this. once you do, you can freely enable whatever you want in the remix menu
My sharrace-Fetid warp is not closing
prevent lizard rot is just curing the room. now if your lizard spawns there no rot
huh, noted
what ||warps do you not have to close||?
||that's not preventing or curing rot on a tamed lizard||
||just the daemon ones i think. also shattered terrace to ancient urban||
has anyone made a watcher version of this yet
,[[[[xhdjbdjsjs nooo
||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
My Fetid to Sherrace warp works but wont be sewn up but then its like weird in sherrace and wont let me through
||nothing that you cant still find after finishing weaver||
sick thats what i was asking
dont want to sidetrack myself
but also dont want to miss anything
how long does the 4th ending take in relation to 3rd?
much quicker
good
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
||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||
it should stay open
have fun :)
wwhat do i do here? shattered terace btw spoilered for weaver
I will leave you with ||moths being complete idiots|| while you wait
||follow the threads||
learned that msc doesn't seem to be compatible with windchime watcher, unfortunately
it should be, it worked fine for me
||does void weaver show up everywhere or in just some select regions?||
||pretty sure everywhere||
guh
Everywhere except regions you'd probably expect
rotted regions?
||they're only going to be in a few regions at a time, but they could be in any region||
||do they show up once for every region? like i have to meet them in every region?||
||or just like a handful of times i go see them||
||they can show up in a region multiple times||
||you're correct here. iirc you only have to meet them like 4 times||
||tf is this sack||
||moth cacoon||
why are you mutilated
hunter
hear me out
the weaver should just ||kill you if you try to re-open a portal they are actively closing||
||they just like strangle you or something||
ah okay, thank you
this dlc is so beautiful
it would look way better if there was an actual lore reason on everything
id love to know why iterators are like this, why the skies are pink
if it was downpour itd explain everything btw/silly
spilled pink sauce everywhere
but this is the things i miss the most on the watcher
theres no explanation on anything! the regions arent even connected
guys I dont know if I am softlocked I have ||all rifts closed|| except this weird one ||between fetid and sherrace|| and nothing is happening
why is there rain 24/7 in regions like stormy coast? theres no explanation!
||i gathered a bunch of anglers this feels hellish||
heard that this was a bug that was happening a lot
clearly someone hasnt spent enough time in the lore mines. this makes perfect sense to me hey why are there dead canaries everywhere
guys I have started now and a thing happened to me
could be the vulture pink gas in the air the pyramids are seeming to be floating they could be outputting it
||they look more like demon piranhas here tbh||
||why do they have to scream when chasing you, who thought they needed to scream||
|| a lot of purple void spawn appeared and a text said I should free them to show the way, but I couldnt interact with them before they disappear, what should I had done when this happens again ||
||apparently you need either a high enough ripple level or a karma flower in your hand (karma reinforcement doesnt count) to see them||
|| I just meet the echo two times and ate the karma flower of the room ||
||being chased by one of these things seems like something that i would not wish on anyone||
is this the portal bug
||i wish anglerfish were like twice as big and way louder. they should still be able to go through pipes though||
||anglerfish are just rainworld deciding to be a horror game now i think||
||i dont think there is one anymore? outside of daemon anyway||
idk why there are 2
||from what i can tell they seem to just passively follow you when alerted until you get too far away, then they go berserk and consume thy soul||
no no the one i made
||i have one from OR to coral||
||they also freak out and start flying all over the place if you go invisible which is funny||
||and i cant find it even with warp menu||
maybe its gone then?
||i ended up closing it from the throne side just to say goodbye to prince for one last time||
|| got a karma flower and they are going the direction of the echo ||
||discovered that poking them causes a weird noise alongside aggroing them immediately, so don't do that||
||also despite being fish they don't die on land, weird||
||yes, technically||
||yes||
ITS THE GUY
This is apparently what the unused || "grapple snake" || looks like.
way better than the spider ideas or void worm head
oh hey there's another unused creature, cool
does it do anything
so one of them was made by me a while ago
During the bingo || i guessed new echo shape, someone say feather spider, someone else say bird. Funny how none of us are correct lmao ||
||berserking anglerfish don't seem to go after other creatures, they only really focus on whatever fled/poked them, after that they just zoom around aimlessly till they calm down||
No AI or locomotion, he just lays there lifeless.
hes so much cooler than that
||i saw worm mentioned a few times||
more of a snak
||definitely wasnt expecting it though||
True
They absolutely cooked
Incomprehensible unimaginable design
||true, but its very reminiscent of void worms, so thats why i call it a worm||
how many unused creatures are there?
wait
i think just that and the millipede but idk for sure
||at some point you become immune to proto rot, I assume that same thing applies to shakers||
assuming that this and the milipeed are going to be in the full realease
||wait really? is this into the weaver questline or the prince one||
||probably once you get the rot purification ability||
||I noticed it when I was trying to die faster|| 
||anyways any idea why i have connections on my map but none in game||
oh i doubt it, millipede is literally just a slugcat face attached to a bunch of white circles and some stick legs. probably just a wip thing that got left in
Really doubt millipede is going to actually be in the game
||im warping around the region and all the portals are closed already, yet i have blue lines on my map||
The ||millipede|| is a gag, I doubt he'll be in it unless there's some joke ending like inv. On the other hand, the ||grapple snake|| actually looks like it was intended to be finished. It just has no AI or pathfinding logic.
||got dev console working, spawned a milipede out of curiosity and oh||
||oh no||
Do we know when was the beta branch last updated?
Truelly terrifying
what in the goddamn
my guess is the uh
that
is a placeholder for something actually normal looking
||this looks like it has to do with the ending cutscene?||
final score screen
||millipede gives me the "made in 10 minutes" vibes||
Also thank you John weaver for preventing the horrors of portal hell I went through on release
nice! i managed to get through the whole game only killing a single frog lol
pacifist run
evil grapple worm!? holy shit
(||If you can't tell I spent like 5 hours in the fetid > shattered area trying to figure out how the weaver works since my daemon > shattered portal was broken and that was the next best thing (also it was rotted)||))
||alright ive met void weaver for the second time but now it just shows that hes nowhere. did i do something wrong?||
open more portals
what is supposed to happen when you|| close all rifts?||
||discovered a "tower crab", bigass drill crab that unlike the usual one actively follows me around, disconcerting||
using the random warp?
yes
||nope, just go portaling around, maybe they'll show up eventually||
ok. now that playthrough is complete. Final thoughts
||weaver wont do anything if you dont give him a job||
||hes a janitor, cleaning up after someones reckless portal use||
||you go somewhere. trust me, if it happens you will know||
||love those guys. the part where they actually appear is awesome||
im still in the prologue since i havent had much time to play yet, should i take pearls from the base regions with me?
yeah
alr, which ones have been brought over yet already? or are you able to go back to the base regions
these things scared the shit out of my cause i thought i had broken my game 😭
any you can access in watcher
are you supposed to close the throne warps
are ones you can read
karma flower portals or nah?
can't go back, and people have already catalogued all of them iirc (so you bringing them over would just be for you)
i have personally checked the industrial one though
think so
I'm imagining him just seeing the utter portal mess I left on my first playthrough and wondering what the fuck happened
yes
okay what the fuck
||i cant close my throne portals||
||ive tried three times now on this one portal||
oh alr, ill probably just bring like two over, btw where is the catalogue for all of the base pearls when i get to the lore reader?
||i get the sewing animation and everything||
huh. well your game seems to be bugged
||but it re-opens when i go back||
another one bites the dust (people seem to get this bug a lot)
well the lore reader is a bit different than normal. here's the website with all the stuff though if you want to see for yourself (though there's also spoilers for npcs and endings so maybe dont go there yet) https://yanwittmann.github.io/rw-collection-index/?item=Prince_3&transcriber=rot-prince
they already updated the pearl site
yan wittmann
#awesome
yan flies
ok for some reason i copied the prince dialogue specifically. weird of me to do tbh
I think this mod was meant to fix it? but it might be for another bug
yeah i think thats the right mod for it
ty! yeah im just going to wait until i complete most of watcher to use this, i just mainly wanted to have this saved so i can check it when the time comes
I have also updated the drive I sent earlier with videos of basegame and downpour pearls if anyone cares to see them
- best first playthrough of any game I have played
- (almost) every creature is very well made
- (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 - 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
- Shoutout to decayed verdant waterways region immediately made the whole world feel more "tangible", added a lot for me. Also nice leviathan sky whale
||
Overall, 9/10 that could easily be a 10/10 with pretty minor tweaks.
wait so would it be more important to get like white/semi colored pearls? or are those catalogued too
i assume they're also catalogued but idk. they probably dont do anything interesting though
||why is this listed as being said by the void weaver||
||trying to figure out how to spawn the bigass whale with dev console, i've learned also that the desert whales are just regular skywhales with the alt-form tag flipped on||
i could probably just get them from the files and decrypting them with the code if someone hasnt already done so
||theres already a icon for the pearl reader||
iirc it was a bit rushed. it'll be fixed eventually
||big whale just has the leviathanWhale tag||
if it dosent update my map
||doesn't seem to be working, sadly||
how am i supposed to figure out where i have warps to close
sob
it did not help, the portal is still permanently open
||tried spawning this once, crashes the game though so this is all i have of it, my guess is its the weaver limbs i've seen once or twice||
thats great.
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||
||i feel like that's probably just part of the region and not like an actual entity||
||what's the solution? the same thing rain world already does for similar situations:||
||its for something else||
||When you consume a karma flower, UI appears to show you that your karma is fortified. If you die, the UI shows the karma flower shield being lost and a karma flower planted on slugcat's death location||
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3573808516 pretty sure this should fix it?
i installed it.
||but most notably, when you try to starve with karma protection, the UI tells you that your karma protection will be lost if you finish the starve||
im hoping its just
an OR issue
and im going to ignore it
it seems to be
hopefully that dosent lock me out of the ending then
||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
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||
find the feathers, go to the region, find the gold portal.
can someone send a picture of the ||new coral caves (?) lizard?|| if anyone has one :)
find the gold portal, enter ripplespace, follow the threads, they belong to him
||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||
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
please please please
aaaahh hes so silly :)
k give me like 2 minutes
OOH that makes sense thank you!!
you can sleep normally, but if you sleep while inside of a golden portal region, the weaver will finish his task and leave
meaning you cannot sleep once in the same region as the weaver
oh now that I finished the ending, what's the official and internal name for what I call ||snapping lizards||
ugly
||peach lizards||
guys my run is softlocked😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
hm?
here you go
inch resting i do not know what this means yet but i’ll keep it in mind
yessss ||diplocalus|| <3 <3 <3
it wants me to go through the fetid portal to sherrace but when I do the portal doesn't close and wont let me through
iirc they're called ||peach lizards||
looks jusst like this right??
indeed
maybe spoiler tag this? its a new creature after all
getting a little frustrated with trying to figure out the conditions to ||summon the big weaver(?)||
Have you seen the portals you make turn yellow?
||i've gotten them to appear only twice||
unfortunately i believe my run is also softlocked
pile
LOL
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
||pretty sure that portals become yellow after a few cycles||
i was wrong
i just literally had not visisted verdant once
AAAWWWEE dude i love indigoos :)
if you would like to know whether you're right or not: ||the karma flowers arent necessary. you just need to wait||
so it didnt even show on my map
||so i just have to make them, leave and come back later?||
or, i think i was wrong,
well at least you're there now
usually only takes a cycle or two
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
||i know i left a portal in verdant, that should probably lead to it||
first I do want to make sure their cosmetics are unaffected by 1.5
very shapely creatures
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||
3 - ||go into ripplespace, follow the threads to the weaver||?
what's the internal acronym for ||that new region filled with noodleflies||
||what was the id of the very docile lizard in smiley room in pillar grove again||
correct
||how exactly do anglers work?||
that definitely makes things a lot easier
||wpga? ||
Did you put greeble in your collection
||i was kind of going on the assumption that i had to actually find the right spot to make a portal||
the bailisk I put above? not yet
No, special spawn in pg
oh where is that, I think I never saw them
Room ||smiley||
||if they see you their light turns orange and they follow slowly at a distance. if you touch them or go too far away from them for too long it turns red and they freak out and try to snatch you. they can go through pipes but have difficulty biting once out of the water||
||so just keep close to them?||
||somewhat close, yeah||
mine is ID 14632
i wish them all a very Get Eaten By The Rot
do they all look identical to this?
also
||does the feathery pattern around regions on the map indicate that i have a portal that's ready?||
||Pretty sure the lizard in the smiley room has a set id so its always docile||
i believe so
yes
I think so
||// Greeble the green lizard. Special thanks to shortstaq and stormthecat for the ID.
WPGA_smiley : 1-Green-{Mean:-1.0|Seed:4193}||
WAIT FERN
?
||ID 4193 is Fern||
they are somewhat well known on scav collecting
guys does anybody know a way to save my run PLEASE🙏
||is that the only rift you haven't closed?||
on the map yes
the map is deceptive
just random warp a bit
theres enough regions now its way easier to miss one
and not realize you did
everytime I random warp I go to fetid no matter what it wants me to go there
nope
do that, then
see if it helps
it seems dotted lines also dont need closed, if that helps
anyone else not getting the end cutscenes?
is it on the workshop?
extra note that happened literally just now
like, for spinning top's ending specifically?
||the portal you go through can also trigger the search||
plz work
||funnily enough after I sent that image of them I went to scavcord to try and find an image of Fern to say they were an imposter||
lmao
wow
that was a beautiful cutscene
i love weaver!!!!
anyways im curious
when exactly does weaver energy paly
is it only the first golden portal?
I was here so many times yet never found it as well
||it's why I have 22 noot mother kills|| 
||there's even some evidence left...||
yknow
i feel like
watcher is experiencing the childhood he missed
spinning top is a sibling, prince a friend, weaver a parental figure
||idk if I actually impacted the fate of this noodlefly||
MAJOR VOID WEAVER ENDING SPOILERS
||am i the only one who thinks they look similar??||
don't make me do a ping i beg
which cutscenes did you not get
the Spinnign Top ending cutscenes
it worked I got weaver ending
did you actually finish the ending?
yes
if you didn't get credits there is more to do
I went to the voidbaths AND got the toys
its soooo pretty oh my god
oh then not sure
huh, weird
im freaking out over weaver ending more than i did over prince ending
even when i turned off my mods
its so visually appealing
That last part in the weaver ending is ||litteraly how the ripples work||
oh my peak
you mean the entire sequence or the cutscene
what's that
on the floor you can actually see rings expanding and threads in the sky
oh yeah
||the weaver seems to actually be like, a god||
||like a god on the level of a void worm, if not higher||
It was the stupid ||ripple spider|| that decided to run up a wall
the whaaaaa
||its single handedly holding the cycle together||
||and it seems that the watcher is potentially a/the weaver?||
They will lead you to rifts
||the similarities are not unintentional im sure||
i've never seen them before what do they look like
im gonna try to get 4th ending now
weaver ending cutscene
||watcher seems to take on the job after a point||
jesus christ man
the fucking
||arms moving in daemon||
actually made me jump
startled me
i was too locked in
why are they doing that btw what the fuck
||is daemon alive||
||the name would suggest so, no?||
||i dont think the void weaver is doing all of this singlehandedly. its a monumentally large task, and i assume that if the weaver's job is necessary to keep the cycle functioning then there's going to be more with the responsibility. watcher's whole deal shows that its not impossible to elect a successor after all||
||i mean, they are still like, the closest thing to "god" weve seen||
true
||you could call the prince a god of sorts, same with the watcher, but the weaver is like 12 steps above either of them||
||i was thinking about this yesterday||
||weaver mocking watcher (no def not)||
i hate them
||ive said this a million times i just can't stop sorry; they look exactly like void worm claws||
||i feel like its more, weaver kinda emoting to watcher? like "hey, i see you"||
||im calling them weaver arms because they are attached to threads||
||yeah im just pointing it out because i think it's awesome||
||my wonder is, are they part of daemon, or holding it together?||
||void worms take the strand out of you tho||
||they exist before the weaver ending btw, you can just only see the threads once you're Ready||
second update
||i appear to be unable to consume reinforcement in making a portal||
||like, do they imply that the entirety of daemon is some great void creature?||
||whenever i portal, it does leave threads everywhere around me||
||however, they seem to lead to dead ends?||
||you're gaining Powers now :)||
||wouldnt be surprised honestly||
||keep following the threads? one of them just lead to a different portal||
i just got kidnapped
OMG I AM GETTING 4TH ENDING OMG
||one of my gfs pointed out how the rumbling noise that plays on top of the large central monolith sounds like purring or bellowing! and not aggressive either, like, it sounds like a calm animal. if that makes sense. i like animal||
|| I think weavers a shitton cooler without the eyes so I just cope this way lmao||
||try going through one of the rifts they lead you to||
let's see
||there are also eyes everywhere||
yeah!!
WHAT
||wonder if it was del or flower who made the art||
fun fact, ||im megalophobic (scared of overly huge things) so when i realized those were eyes following me i had to stand up for a moment||
daemon is 10000% my favorite area in rain world to ever exist though, the sheer sense of scale is amazing. awawa
yeah daemon is awesome
i kinda wish it had actual platforming sections and stuff instead of basically just being a hub area. like giving you stuff to do between landmarks
at least it's a nice place to practice ripple jumps
||probably flower since the only del mention i saw in the credits was for promo art||
oh also that reminds me, ||the platforming section to reach the watcher arena unlock is pretty cool||
||well whoever it is, they did an awesome job||
||yeah man its gorgeous||
uh can someone who knows how I might dev console the new things give me a command for ||peach lizards||
Greeble!!
actually yeah ||viewing daemon as a living being/multiple docile creatures makes me love it more. ngl. Quiet, otherworldly entity/entities simply observing you and letting you walk across its body. also i just like really strange looking creature designs in which they hardly look like an animal but theres something that registers familiarity||
Is their name being changed?
or did you find them independently
idk about dev console but you could always just use beastmaster
They've been known as Fern on scavcord at least
but I want specific IDs for gif making
well, im afraid i cant help you there, sorry
I wasn’t aware it had another name
|| absolutely everything in this game is alive or fleshy it is awesomee||
first found on sept 8 2024
||i love the The Pipes Are Alive Theory theory, the theory where The Pipes are Alive||
OH PRETTY GREEN..
PIPE WORMS!!
There is also ||paste the blue scav|| in ||pillar grove||
I saw Fern/Greeble in a <@&710574255686811698> submission
|| yeah it's kinda similar to the shelters are alive theory, in which shelters are living||||
AWH……
oh what ID
||you're thinking too small scale. i mean the background pipes. the wheels. the chains that grow like vines. everything lives||
