#

now that could just be another texture mishap, that i cant see what color it is. and its just the bg color.

#

...wish i knew what color that was ._.

#

...be concerning if it was purple.

#

....BUT YEAH HAHA WHAT /WAS/ THAT SOUND? slugwhat

#

it reminds me of how, originally i thought ST's laughing from a few rooms away was like. sounds of pain

#

like, it had the warped aspect to it

#

which I know now doesnt necessarily mean iterator, lmao, dunk on past me

#

but.... huh.

#

it was also real short

#

...hm.

#

anyway

#

guess im gonna get to exploring stormy

#

i gotta find a path back to aether

#

(and... im psure the echo here is in the usual spot

#

so ill decide if i wanna go up that way, lol

#

could end up on a SUPER detour to like. spires, and verdant.

#

...

#

oh yeah we have scavengers in this region.

#

......

#

maybe ill go back through the migration path portal

#

and drop off the pearls there

#

i dont think theres scavengers there

#

but like. im gonna be carrying at least two pearls at this point... >->;;;

#

ah

#

hello extra cool special scavengers

#

id love to give yall an offering and make friends

#

but youre not getting the pearl im carrying, or the mask im wearing

#

lol

sturdy beacon Oct 4, 2025, 3:33 AM

#

well that was terribly rude

#

lol

#

(i died to a pole plant immediately after, anyway)

#

... I should...

#

figure out where that stormy pearl is >->;;

#

also lol

#

carrying around a common pearl and a vulture mask

#

every time i pass by a scavenger theyre like

#

8V

#

...

#

~~and all the scavvies say, i'm pretty stacked~~
~~for a slug-cat~~

#

oh wait yeah lol checking stormy pearl location got distracted lol

#

is it... this pic...? >-> i didnt exactly label them

#

....yeah i think its this one. aight lets go hunting.

#

ah! : D i hear em! i hear ST!

#

phew, i was startin to get worried!

#

...

#

and i fell to my death

#

WELP

#

fuck

#

howd i do that exactly the same way a second time ._.

#

A THIRD TIME!!!

#

HAHAHAH

#

I... I THOUGHT I ADJUSTED FOR THE FALL

#

OK WELL.....

#

OK

#

sorry ST bby u gotta wait a bit, i gotta find this pearl and shelter with it so im sure i wont lose it hunterkek

#

if you send me to signal, i dont trust it wont fall hunterkek

#

...

#

rivflabbergasted

#

howd...

#

......jesus christ i can jump worth shit today

#

i fell off before the first jump

#

...anyway.

#

AAAA.

#

FOURTH TIME.

#

wtf .....

#

im. do i have to leap???? for safety???
i can walk and make this jump wtf

#

im just forgetting to hit jump, it feels like ._.

#

ok ok ok one more try. mou ikkai motherfucker

#

if not, break time and snack time. lol.

#

me, right as I have the thought, "shit! this would be the worst place to get knocked off balance by lightning, anything I drop is gone to the void frfr!"

#

i jump somewhere I think there's a cargo crate underneath and im GONE xDD

#

...ahhh, i /did/ shelter with the pearl at least. so I can try again.

#

i think im legit gonna just, go shelter by the cold storage warp, and then try cold storage

#

the place I come out is a little precarious! but, im not getting ST warped (which will reset me to where i get warped in the new region if i die, no matter what), so if i come out and shit just falls, i can reset and im fine

#

i forget... are there scavengers in cold storage?
i feel like there must be...

#

if not, i could always stash the pearls there

#

migration path feels safer, lil more desolate, and iunno if ive seen a scav there

#

but hm. unsure on both.

#

guess ill ask spoilerchat

#

but...
.... break time, AND snack time xDD

#

ok. i hear theres no scavengers in cold storage, OR migration path

#

operation: pearl storage shortstop is GO ⚾

sturdy beacon Oct 4, 2025, 5:47 AM

#

mmk, got the stormy pearl, the migration pearl, and rhe badlands pearl, all in a shelter in migration, directly next to the cold storage portal

#

until i can find a way to torrential, that's where they'll be xD

sturdy beacon Oct 4, 2025, 6:29 AM

#

OH COOL FOUND A SHROUDED CONNECTION

#

coolcool
shrouded connects to cold storage
cold storage connects to migration path
migration path is where i got these pearls
yknow what also connects to shrouded?
PILLARS.

#

BAM

#

Aight. so now that i know i can get here....
i guess i oughta go back to cold storage, and then migration path, and collect up some pearls! xD
itll be minimum 2 trips. if i hold a pearl in stomach, and in hand
the vulture mask is kinda essential, lol. means i can brute force my way through some areas while the lizards are confused xD

#

ok...
so, how many regions do i have so far, anyway?

Torrential Railway
Pillar Grove
Aether Ridge (ehh... 50%? 40%?)
Coral Caves
Rusted Wreck
Desolate Tract (havent really done much besides pearl hunting, then left immediately)
Sunlit
Migration Path
Badlands (except for far left (was wearing vulture mask & had pearl))
Cold Storage (HAHAHA like. 10%? 15%? i wouldnt say 20%)
Stormy Coast (except for echo)
Shrouded Stacks (...5%? 10%?)
The Surface (...3%? lol.)

sturdy beacon Oct 4, 2025, 11:11 PM

#

here in shrouded, considering exploring around a bit and filling out the map
also made it to the surface portal!
...
now if only i could stay alive long enough for it to register as me having been there! xD

#

the vulture mask is /real/ useful for running pearls through lizard-heavy areas
...but mannnnn, these moths are just no-scoping me rivflabbergasted

#

i might not keep it with me for exploring...
but also, just gotta hope that no scavenger gets curious around my shelter x'D

#

end of the day, losing a mask aint the worst, theyre replacable
as long as i dont lose a colored pearl, i should be gucci

sturdy beacon Oct 4, 2025, 11:33 PM

#

ive got like, three pearls i want to get to torrential...

#

and im not sure how much im feelin explorin the surface (dunno why! xD prolly cause i got some other ones to get to...)
and not so sure how much i wanna explore shrouded, either

i think id want to go hunt down the pearl for the surface, but maybe for now i might go grab those pearls from migration....

i remember that i could get to pillar from shrouded.... right?

man. i should figure out where the AR entrance in TR is xDD
if nothing else, i could at least use AR for the runback to migration. even if thats only a one way.

#

hm...
was thinking for a minute, that maybe id just grab all three at once....

.....but no im not dealing with that ._. two trips, if i must. lol.

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 12:06 AM

#

i had the thought

#

and in terms of jinxing something

#

having the thought is just as bad as saying it outloud

#

so, might as well say it out loud

#

thought,
"Huh!"
"I haven't seen the red lizard in a while..."

#

...

#

anyway

#

so, the commute from shrouded to cold storage to migration path wasnt that bad! xD

#

it might be the pillars run thats obnoxious

#

but since there's...
......no moths? right? >-> or... less moths...?

#

i should be fine with the vulture mask xD

#

...anyway yeah on the way back to the shelter in shrouded, saw the red lizard. lol. iunno if it saw me.

#

I lived, anyway! xD

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 12:40 AM

#

made it to Torrential with the pearls! YEAHHHH

#

but...
.....for some reason, my shelter wont close??? >->

#

i remember there was a shelter in desolate, that didnt like to close unless id made it aaaall the way to the right

#

doesnt seem to be the case...

#

I have 4 food pips?

#

...my other thought is-
in this cycle, I was nabbed by a frog at zero food pips

#

so im occasionally getting exhaustion effects... even though ive eaten

#

but now I'm wondering...

#

....do i need all seven???

#

cause of.....frogxhaustion?

#

SO

#

yeah thats exactly what happened

#

WELP! made it back to pillars, got enough food, and sheltered!
my vulture mask was even still in the shelter I left it in!

#

... omg tho, watcher did NOT like double-dipping through the portal again, while 'starving'

#

had a goddamn negative cycle hunter seizure, holy shit

#

anyway. made it back, at least

#

and, the next trip will be easier, cause ill have a free hand! xD

#

and then, any other pearl i find, i can (more or less) go straight to shrouded again

#

aight back at it again af the Krispy Kreme

#

one more pearl to deliver! then i can go explore! xD
(and maybe i could get the surface pearl!)

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 1:11 AM

#

... sounded like the threat music started playing over itself, and then game crashed >_>

#

also... for a second, I considered taking a balloon'd frog into a shelter, as a snack for later

#

and then I was a little concerned

#

if a ballooned frog is a full, satisfied frog

#

...would i just wake up with a normal ass frog, next cycle??? xD

#

that being said. passing by frog rooms late in the cycle isnt too bad

#

theres a chance theyve already eaten

#

and then

#

...you can eat 👀

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 1:27 AM

#

haha...

#

two of cold storage's portals are in spots where there's been "containment breaches"

#

busted cage, and a bustwd test tube

#

iunno bout the one on the tower tho, didnt really look last time i was there

#

phew!!! made it back to shrouded, safe and sheltered!

#

one last trip through pillar, and that's that!

#

maybe ill take the AR portal out of torrential, just to see

#

i forget where that portal takes me

#

...noted

#

portals wont take you if a moth is actively eating you

#

HAHAHA

#

that time a vulture came through with me and the game haaaaaated that

#

what the fuuuuck D:

#

why wasnt that strawberry afraid of me D:

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 3:55 AM

#

@winged schooner
well
that's...
one way to map those hard to reach places
LOL...

#

...
one
H A H

#

i havent met ST yet
i mean-- i think i passed em i stormy! xD

#

but they woulda sent me to signal spires

#

and i had a pearl in stomach, pearl in hand, and vulture mask

#

didnt wanna risk getting sent somewhere and dropping them

#

BUT!

#

#

i have made progress in other departments o v o

#

lmao, i had the badlands, stormy, AND migration pearl in the shelter off by the cold storage portal

#

and i had to figure out a way to get em all back to torrential

#

luckily though...
...the commute between migration > cold storage > shrouded wasnt that bad! xD
and then i could go shrouded > torrential

#

only one jump that made me kinda nervous in cold storage
and also moths that wanted to eat my face at all times

#

but i got to just run past lizards, which made it a lot easier

#

oh man tho. getting the migration pearl was a fuckin t r i p

#

spooky deep dark

#

had to get three spears to reach it (cause im bad at corner jumps)

#

nearly missed it

#

game crashed the first time I got it ._. and dropped to the next room-- game hated that. lol.

#

it also crashed pretty hard the first time i tried to enter Big Migration Long Room, lol

#

but! i made it xD

#

i think next i might hunt down the surface pearl

#

i could also look for the cold storage pearl, but...

#

...kinda wanna save the cold storage pearl for later

#

when i met the cold storage echo in 1.0, it lined up with the "wtf are you... not really a god, not really an animal. lil god sausage!" line

#

...right above the zombie lizard pit

#

felt thematic af xD

#

honestly, maybe i might go visit em in the same order... i kinda remember it

#

obviously some of the regions might not line up the same

#

...and im not touching outer rim or unfortunate evolution ._.

#

i lucked out with a rot-spared intro region, im keeping it that way as long as i can

#

anywho-- gon get back to it xD

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 4:32 AM

#

hmmmmm
yeah, i think instead of going after the next pearls, im gonna start looking for the echoes

#

in the same region order as i did 1.0

#

feels correct! yknow?

#

mmk i gotta... remember the order, now xD

#

tbh, bet itd be easier to parse if i actually uploaded the screenshots ive been taking xD
buuuut. getting screenshots off the switch is such a process |D ngl

@winged schooner
whoever said you needed a squidcada for flight?

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 5:47 AM

#

gee, shrouded coast, how come the devs let you have two daemon portals???

#

...

#

wait nvm im mixing up a shrouded room with an AR room

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 6:04 AM

#

...oh, was the shrouded map reorganized? 👀

#

it looks less.... non-euclidian

#

hm!

#

well! i got the right side of shrouded map

#

time to mess with the left!

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 6:42 AM

#

...huh

#

was that there before?

#

went to the room where i remembered ST was

#

...no ST u-u

#

i mean... thought not, but still

#

odd that the scav merchant had a karma flower

#

but also like

#

jumped from that big platform

#

saw a lil path up and to the right

#

...explosive spear didnt get me there, lol.

#

but...
maybe a squidcada?

#

gonna try that...

#

gdi : I game froze as i was mapping

#

which means none of that saved : I

#

...but also. hm.

#

if the cold storage portal is on the right side... then i wonder what this is...?

#

...well. actually. didnt shrouded have two cold storage portals. haha.

#

anyway

#

...

#

ST ;-; where u at

#

oh, that portal took me to some part of ridgeworks...

#

aight

#

...

#

well

#

i think I want to see whats by that path in the ST room

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

ah, scav merchant cache, and karma flower. mmk.

sturdy beacon Oct 5, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

sigh! work soon, and a sudden schedule scramble. no lazy sunday evening for me, im prolly on closing shift until we get extra help.
might have a little less time to play than ive had lately. but, excited to get back to it.

#

finished exploring shrouded, no echo |'D makes me sad, that was originally my first echo encounter xD

#

and... i hear no echo in cold storage???
or at least, not in the spot it was...
if not, i guess nothing holding me back from fully exploring cold storage, and grabbing that pearl

#

ok...
so, how many regions do i have so far, anyway?

Torrential Railway
Pillar Grove
Aether Ridge (ehh... 50%? 40%?)
Coral Caves
Rusted Wreck
Desolate Tract (havent really done much besides pearl hunting, then left immediately)
Sunlit
Migration Path
Badlands (except for far left (was wearing vulture mask & had pearl))
Cold Storage (like, 15%-20%. progress on pause due to one-way paths, until i can find a portal that takes me deeper)
Stormy Coast (except for echo)
Shrouded Stacks (no echo u-u)
The Surface (...3%? lol.)

#

oughta check far left of badlands for the echo, now that im not playing courier with pearls and masks
and maybe desolate tract

for my next venture, i think itll be cold storage exploration. in 1.0 i dreaded being there, but i think ill have an easier time of it with the vulture mask! xD ...if im smart about it, of course xD aint a king vulture mask, just a regular one

#

but yeah

Desolate Tract -> check for echo
Badlands -> check for echo
Aether Ridge -> check for echo
Stormy Coast -> known echo! should go revisit
Cold Storage -> unsure... but i think no echo u-u
The Surface -> ...i dont think there was an echo there, in 1.0? worth exploring anyway. but maybe not my priority

sturdy beacon Oct 6, 2025, 3:12 PM

HM
okay, so maybe im /not/ fully exploring cold storage

#

i guess there's just one-ways from this point... id probably have to make it towards station annex to do anything else

#

so...hm!

#

mmk, cold storage is off the table for now

i guess i could go with the surface? though if i did, i oughta make a pit stop in shrouded for a lantern or two
could also head back to stormy, ans meet the echo thats been waiting /very/ patiently for me, haha...

#

... actually yeah haha might do that xD

sturdy beacon Oct 6, 2025, 4:02 PM

#

ended up seeing stormy echo!
found the coolest king vulture in spires... was nabbed by a regular vulture before I could get the mask = v =

#

holy shit this scavenger looks like it was painted with the neopets ghost brush ._.

sturdy beacon Oct 6, 2025, 5:24 PM

#

woo! signals pearl located!

#

might as well nab that, and book it back to torrential. avoid the whole "have to carry multiple pearls" scenario again

#

not sure if ill shelter with it, mostly i wanted to just know where its at. chances are, ill just use the rest of the cycle to explore, and respawn again later. gotta go to work in like 20 min so im not planning to commit to an actual cycle xD

#

plus... i wanna make sure ghost neopet lives @-@

PEARL: SHELTERED WITH

back to stormy, then to... uhhh...
what was it, uh...
oh just cold storage fr? aight lol.
stormy -> cold storage (bit of a walk through stormy)
cold storage -> shrouded (easy to get to!)
shrouded -> pillar (also an easy walk!)
pillar -> torrential (bit of a walk, but an easy one!)

#

aight, im gonna be smart about this, and actually shelter at every available checkpoint

#

oh wtf? o:
thats absolutely a copy of my vulture mask in this shelter

#

huh. wonder if itll still be there next cycle

#

i aint complainin. lol.

#

lol tried to trade the spare to a fancy scav
then grabbed a pearl and traded that too, surprisingly it gave back the vulture mask
was tryna grab it and give that too, and then go grab the spare from the shelter, but game crashed when i gave back a spear and a bomb

#

related? who knows

#

...ooo..... wait a minute, tho....

#

realizing that im in cold storage rn...
.... with a grapple worm 👀

#

...maybe ill make a detour...

#

...blue lizard please find your own shelter

#

HAHAHAH

#

FIRST RUN IN WITH A ROT LIZARD

#

DAMN. THE NOISES ARE SCARY

#

aight tho i dont think im gettin anywhere with this room, lets look somewhere else, lol...

#

...ohhhh, that was a tiny piece of sentient rot...
i was wondering why i was being pulled backwards. lol.

#

welp!
found the cold storage pearl!

#

....
and im willing to hold off on cold storage exploration til later! xD

#

since technically, im prolly supposed to find a portal that leads to station annex, not get there via grapple worm

#

oh! there's the surface portal!

#

...

#

do i wanna go to the surface rn tho? >->;

#

found some neat geometry, but also got distracted by the freedom afforded to me by grappleworm, and... got eaten by a cyan

#

but! looks like the surface portal is in the same spot as it was before

#

i think that was the portal that eventually led me back to cold storage, and where i started my actual attempt at exploring it in 1.0
where before i got sent there and heros journey style refused the call

#

and then returned to it, knowingly, from the surface portal

#

lol, i remember approaching it, and little by little going from "woahhh this part of the surface leads somewhere new!! different geometry styles, whats this??"
to
"........das...... das a test tube.... )B"

#

i think i hadn't like... seen the test tube stuff on my first (brief) runthrough

#

but around that time, i had, for the first time, watched a lolight mod showcase video

#

and it was The Preservatory

#

or whatever its called

#

and the shelter in the surface, before cold storage...

#

....is a test tube.. Right?

#

and i was just

UM

....

UMMM...

#

DONT LIKE SLEEPING IN THIS. FAMILIAR IN A WAY THATS ONLY BECAUSE I SAW SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNRELATED.
BUT DOTS ARE CONNECTING. NEURAL CONNECTIONS ARE ALREADY FORMED.

#

lol

#

anyway, no need to go to the surface rn. even if i wanted to pearl hunt there

#

already got two pearls to deliver

#

not gonna have another "oh no, three pearls" situation xDD

#

WOO!
sheltered with pearl, full stomach, and some eggbug eggs to spare

#

aight time to /actually/ book it to shrouded

#

tried to be ambitious with hoarding food for next cycle in shrouded...

#

and then red lizard walked on screen

#

and hubris returned to my life

sturdy beacon Oct 7, 2025, 4:42 PM

#

mmm, dropwig still saw the grappleworm... >->

#

hm, debating if i should bring the grappleworm along to pillars, at all

#

i think that big section of water might kill it

sturdy beacon Oct 7, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

lmao, glad i sheltered

#

game crashed in pillars again

#

..jeeeeays

#

crashed as I left the shelter, crashed just before the next shelter

#

startin to reconsider my strategy of a quick stroll through pillars

#

pillars is just... game crash central

#

it's my last obstacle. making it past game crashes. lol.

#

and another crash, soon as i exit the room...

#

its startin to be close to the time i need to leave for work : I im startin to think im not gettin this pearl to torrential today

#

ok, made it to another checkpoint

#

yayyy

#

pillars could be an easy walk... if i wasnt concerned about the crashing >->

#

though also...
where else do you get to see such bizarre sights, such as a frog tormenting a pole plant. lol.

#

im also wondering though...
would going through the AR portal maybe be a faster way back to cold storage?

#

TR > PG > SS > CS
TR > AR > MP > CS

#

...hm its about the same

#

AR might be a hassle to get through, from the TR side... but, i know the MP portal is pretty close...

#

...

#

no, the AR section id need to cross through is full of moths : I not doin that with my vulture mask. lol.

#

#

look at my stuff...

#

#

isnt it neat?

#

🧜‍♀️

#

anywho, thats gonna be that for now. got the signal spires pearl back in a shelter in cold storage to get to, next

#

but thats for later xD

#

afterwards...
well, i think id like to explore the rest of signal spires! x)

#

maybe get my hands on the mask of that super cool king vulture... 👀

#

if im feelin a bit ambitious....... a bit regicidal....... 👀

#

then.... hm!
well, there's the surface that's got a pearl, too! i oughta go after that one next, once I get the signal spires one out of cold storage and into torrential

#

#

oh-- bonus me with my collection #mycollection <3

neat head on that guy!

sturdy beacon Oct 8, 2025, 3:28 AM

#

damn....
chupacabra's pillar groves cousin got eaten u-u

#

i was like, "shit. well. if the game crashes or i die before the next shelter, guess thatll be a reset"

#

....and then the game didnt crash, and i didnt die, and i skipped like three shelters, and made it all the way back to the shrouded shelter >_>;;;

#

well... dang.

#

but. got confirmation that paste was still alive.

#

always good to see, lol

sturdy beacon Oct 8, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

...im wondering if some of these crashes in pillars are because of voidspawn?

#

hm.

#

normally dont go out of my way to get em

#

even though sometimes they show up even when i dont have a karma flower xD (im guessing as a "heyyyy..... u lost...?" kinda thing

#

but def crashed as i ran into one just now (with flower)

#

also, heard the threat music go... slightly out of sync? with its own levels?

#

that's usually an omen its gonna crash soon. lol

sturdy beacon Oct 8, 2025, 4:33 PM

coolcool, made it back to shrouded!

#

so, what did i say the plan was again... hmmm...

#

also new chupacabra pillar grove cousin. lol.
they really like spawning with those bright ass magenta eyes

sturdy beacon Oct 8, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

made it to signals again, no pearls to carry, just exploration to be had!

#

and gonna pause it here for now, cause its my friends birthday xD

sturdy beacon Oct 9, 2025, 7:25 PM

#

oh, just saw the patch notes!

#

not gonna be for switch for a while, but i figured that was the case

#

but, makes sense why it was always pillars that was crashing. and that time i was trading with a scav, and it crashed asap

#

frogs attaching to creatures unusually, makes sense for why the game would crash close to that long room with all the water and frogs xD

#

i definitely will appreciate being not killed while vulnerable while going through a portal, lol.

#

those moths in shrouded. jfc.

#

but yeah also, scavs trading amongst eachother in another room, would make sense for why nothing could seem amiss, and suddenly crashing in pillars xD

#

high scav count

well actually I don't remember
but im surprised by the spires thing! xD

also fully explored spires! if theres no other exit from shattered, ill go back through spires and check out verdant

#

...OH!

#

i have another king vulture mask

#

...AND another uh. reg vulture mask?

#

seems like it happens for like. whatevers in the shelter, on the cycle i go somewhere with ST

#

hm!

#

oh!!! and neopets ghost brush is still alive!! <333

#

yeah absolutely worth it to shelter before i go to verdant

#

also...huh!
i can manual warp now, huh?

#

ah! and now i see which regions have ST... I guess im more like. ripple aligned now. or w/e

#

yea, tells me can find em in desolate tract, aether ridge, and badlands. thought as much

sturdy beacon Oct 9, 2025, 11:49 PM

#

alright, verdant, which has a pearl, and leads to... mmmm.....
turbulent, right?

#

which also has a pearl, lol. and leads to.... desolate.

#

oh, but both of those are one-way, from desolate. so id have to go through desolate to get there.

#

i forget what the other side of turbulent leads to... actually, didn't it lead to / from coral? and now, that spot is pillar grove, so.

#

so not sure where that one might go now, if anywhere! xD

#

either way, ill prolly be leaving through spires again, and taking the stormy > cold storage > shrouded > pillar > turbulent path

#

cause even if i found a path to coral, and could use that as a shortcut to turbulent...
id need ripplefloat xD

#

to reliably make it across that gap. lol.

sturdy beacon Oct 10, 2025, 5:21 AM

hm! struggling to find the verdant pearl xDD

#

doing more exploring, lol

#

and using end of cycle flooding to map out the big rooms, which is kinda fun tbh

#

but still .. i know its on a little hydroponics shelf... just not sure which, lol

sturdy beacon Oct 10, 2025, 3:28 PM

oh, huh, the verdant / turbulent pump portal isnt echo-activated on the other side.
...was really sure that it was! xD or at least, that there's an echo in turbulent /somewhere/... maybe on another side of it.

verdant pearl: found
amount of suffering experienced in attempting to retrieve it: immense

#

aughhhh, i finally get it, and /not/ drop on the way back, and i have no food and the cycle was short x'D

sturdy beacon Oct 10, 2025, 4:46 PM

#

DID IT \o/

#

decided to go back to spires instead of trying to sleep in verdant again

#

cause either way, itd be the entiee gauntlet all over again, trying to get back up to the portal

#

had enough food to shelter, and im back in spires with my mask and everything |D

#

aight, made it to stormy. king vulture mask OP

#

gotta leave for work in like an hour, wonder how far I can make it before then

#

AAAAND IN SHROUDED, EXTRA EGGBUG EGGS IN SHELTER courtesy of red lizard slugshook

#

aight thats prolly all the progress ill make for today

#

later onnn... mmmmm.....

yeah, verdant pearl to pillars, then torrential

#

and thennnnnn.....

#

well, i could visit the badlands echo! xD finally make it across there! would just have to go back to cold storage, then migration, and then ill be in badlands. might as well connect that up to somewhere. (plus, curious where the portal leads this time! i think its different than 1.0, yeah?)

#

aether ridge I think ill save for last-ish

#

wonder if it still takes me to torrid?

#

verdant will take me to fetid glen, which im not really in the mood to explore yet xD

#

oh, and desolate tract still needs like, full mapping, lol

#

Shattered Terrace (nothing past the areas I can make it to, before float xD)
Verdant Waterways (about 90%, i'd say!)

after I get the verdant pearl delivered, ill prolly head back out to badlands, just to connect that up

its warm enough down there for red wormgrass
thats how you know you boutta die

Aether Ridge - to finish, find echo. echo should take me to Torrid Desert anyhow, so maybe its about time to do that! xD

Desolate Tract - despite how much i love the region, less inclined to go since i know one side takes me back to the surface, and the other to Turbulent Pump

Turbulent Pump - ....less inclined to go, for now. lmao.

Verdant Waterways - could go! xD only have a bit left before i call it complete!
....though, then id /have/ to go to Fetid x'D again, less inclined for now

Torrid Desert - ...honestly, i guess this is the last choice it comes down to! xD
i forget where the echo sends me, from there...
i guess if i went, id likely dip just to get the pearl commuted, then come back

#

just in case it sends me somewhere where there's another pearl, and I have two to look after xDD

lmao, surviving the walk from my shrouded shelter to the aether ridge portal was an entire thing

#

not even for red lizard reasons

#

always moth reasons slugwhat

#

welp... i think i got some connections done up in lower right Aether!

#

found a room I remembered from 1.0 that i wasnt able to explore, and now with my grapple worm companion...

#

...i discover that its not actually a place to go. lol.

#

(i remember, when i first got to aether in 1.0 and saw a moth for the first time, i thought it was like... flying raindeer)

#

....i committed so much moth botherment ._.

#

how did i get away with it all

sturdy beacon Oct 16, 2025, 4:11 AM

#

hmmm

#

i think, ive explored just about every path i can see on the map...

#

...also

#

is there an accessibility mod for the aether ridge map, on PC

#

without a doubt, there must be

#

lmao

#

comprehending it is such a thing, layered on top of eachother

#

but yeah, last path goes down and left

#

bettin thats the way

#

ah yep theres the toll

#

forgot there was a toll tbh

#

...hmmmmm do i bring the grappl-- wait its torrid desert its fine, lol, of course i bring the grapple worm

#

aight, takin the fast route back to torrential...

#

even if it means MOTHS......

#

... might end up leaving my vulture mask in this shelter up here....
main reason i never took this route, was cause of moths

sturdy beacon Oct 16, 2025, 7:31 PM

welp, made it to the shelter outside of the torrential portal! xD

#

...moths or lizards
pick your poison

OKAY... LOOKS LIKE IT /WASNT/ A DUPLICATE.....
AND I JUST... STILL HAD THE BADLANDS PEARL IN MY STOMACH
THE WHOLE TIME
L M A O

#

so glad that i didnt assume it was a duplicate... better safe than sorry FR.... @-@

#

and yeah! youre still good xD
if i go somewhere you havent been yet, ill just have "NOT SAFE" in the title, lol

#

but for now, youre good to scroll up til you hit the sasukes xD

#

#

what i had before

#

what i have now, after ACTUALLY SPITTING UP THE PEARL... LOL...

#

yea....
i thought that saturated purple on the left was the badlands pearl....

#

#

they end up putting them in the same order, after you wake up in the cycle

#

and yeah
lol
badlands pearl on the far right

#

had eight pearls now nine |D

#

...WELL ANYWAY
TIME TO BOOK IT BACK TO AETHER... AND GO FROM THE TOP RIGHT TO THE BOTTOM LEFT...... AGAIN

#

and pick up the grappleworm i left in one shelter, and hopefully the king vulture mask in another shelter xDD

winged schooner Idea: Moth lizard <:monksilly:1132054344049627287>

hmmm...
wonder if it would like
flee from the vulture mask
or try to eat you with extreme prejudice

#

or just act like a red lizard. lol.

#

...though!
red lizards dont see you if youre invisible xD

#

thats the thing with moths. they still go after me if im invisible @-@

#

if im wearin the mask, that is

winged schooner Oct 16, 2025, 7:45 PM

Imagine a lizard that flies and has infinite tongue range that kills you like moth tongues do monksilly
(not an actual idea, just pain)

oooo...
that /would/ be really cool @-@
like if it was a feature not a bug... fuck it, id get behind it! xD

#

also, it /does/ stop the king vulture mask from being OP. lol

winged schooner Oct 16, 2025, 7:46 PM

#

So moths seeing the masks could very well be a "AUGHHH IT'S OUR ENEMY'S FACE AND IT'S MOVING, GET IT"

though, for all the trekking through regions, it lets me move about xD

Ohhhhh yeah, true, interesting balancing!

sturdy beacon Oct 16, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

lol yup

#

and i got this mask through regicide ._. hunted that motherfucker

#

...lmao, first mask i ever ran into in vanilla though, i found lying on the ground

#

i thought it was similar to like. how youd find pearls, just before a scavenger toll

#

and thought it was like. placed.

i had no idea how lucky i was to run into a vulture mask like that xDDD
(and was surprised when it wasnt there next cycle, lol!)

#

aight made it to the next shelter, after the wind platforming xD

#

honestly, if the vulture mask stays where i left it, might not be the worst way to get back to torrential

#

aight cool mask is still there

#

nicenice

#

lmao... tossed a pearl (from treasury), and a scav got it, and no one waved me through

#

i mean. they waved me through after i put down enough spears

#

while trying to grab my grappleworm again

#

and then game crashed =v=

#

for... scav trading reasons again

#

...

#

ok, it crashed again, after i did some legitimate trading... >->;

#

i mean... pearl hadnt even hit the ground yet...

#

...
wonder if uh. it was the scavengers tryna decide who would get it...? or...

#

WOO MADE IT TO TORRID

#

FINALLY... LOL.....

#

missed a last room on the way down though, whoops. went left instead of down, straight to spinning top xDD

#

ah well

#

...weird though

#

i have a grapple worm

#

and I'm able to make it up the room where the torrid portal from aether is

#

....but then, when i grapple to the last bit, to the place with the actual platform....
like, the grapple worm targets it

#

but it doesnt like

#

stay there?

#

it like. instantly releases it

#

weird...

#

guess ill... come back later? :v

#

ok, made it up again

#

but yeah! xD
now im in the next room, and the grapple worm wont attach go the walls of the room with the big stonehead xDD

#

like i dont think theres anything up there

#

but still, lol

#

oh, scav disciples : D

#

now that ive got an amount of ripple, its fun to blink back at them, lol

#

also, another handy thing of grapple worm + mask combo. dont gotta worry about yoinking their stuff accidentally. lol.

sturdy beacon Oct 16, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

torrid desert pearl: get!!!

#

guess i could go back and commute it to torrential xD

#

...debating if i wanna just yet, lol =v= not much else ill have to carry around til i move onto the next region anyway...

#

oh-- i wonder if this portal is the portal for badlands, actually? o: maybe ST will take me there, this time. there /was/ a portal area, round the top of a watertower, that i couldn't access... prolly that one!

#

ahh

#

found the thing i wanted to find in torrid

#

so, as i was passing through torrid in 1.0, i remember seeing these guys, and going
oh yeah!!! the thing from desolate tract!! how neat!

pass em by, neato neato

then when i saw this particular bunch, i remember goin
awww! theyre holding hands!

#

later on, ran into these guys
"oh! theyre littler ones!"

#

"....oh! and these ones..."

#

"..."

#

#

#

...mmk so

#

was debating

#

whether i should go to the left, make it to badlands, and then come back to the right side of torrid desert via the surface portal, after i map out the right side of desolate tract

#

but there was a bit of a tunnel up to the top, that led out to some desert

#

and i remembered there being desert on the right side.... but not quite the left

#

so checked that out and

#

....

#

h u h

#

okay
checked the other thread

#

still safe for pizza xD

#

...NEW ROOMS THO?
MAYBE?
IS THIS NEW?
WAS THIS HERE LAST TIME?

#

H U H?

#

.....DO I WANNA CHECK IT OUT??? >->

#

...welp, a disciple took my vulture mask, so i guess i wont xD

#

...but also
grabbed a grenade from that exchange
tossed it at a drill crab, cause i wasnt intending to live past the cycle anyway, but wanted to book it back to the arena unlock

#

...

#

BUT

#

APPARENTLY THE GRENADE DIDNT GET IT

#

AND IT WAS STILL ALIVE

#

BUT... BROKEN LEG OR SOMETHING

#

QAQ

#

it was pitiful. 0/10 would not recommend. kept falling over.

#

absolute regret

#

never again

#

...
still didnt get that unlock though. h a h.

sturdy beacon Oct 16, 2025, 10:22 PM

#

got the unlock
but a boxworm killed my grappleworm : I

#

so
not gonna be saving this one too =v=;;;;

#

welp!!!
i guess.... i got most of torrid done!! xD

#

gonna be heading over to badlands via echo, and then somehow making it back to torrential

#

might just do the aether route again

#

its not so bad, if i dont have the mask

#

AAAAAND, NOT THIS RUN EITHER....

#

forgot how many centipedes were there....

#

damn. wish id taken a screenshot.

#

went to the bottom path to the torrid echo

#

decided.... lol i have a grapple worm

#

grappled all the way there

#

got hit with the "..." response

#

...and then game crashed

#

ST like

#

"...the fuck."

#

hmmmm....

#

maybe ill actually just go take it to migration path for now!

#

i guess i dont really need to take every pearl to torrential immediately

#

might decentivize me to like, go seek them out
since ill need to interuppt exploring in order to get them back xD

#

...
also, the ||Heat Ducts region icon|| has ||echo-mark around it||...? >->

#

was that there in 1.0...?

#

hmhmhm

#

Torrential Railway
Pillar Grove
Aether Ridge
Coral Caves
Rusted Wreck
Desolate Tract (havent really done much besides pearl hunting, then left immediately)
Sunlit
Migration Path
Badlands
Cold Storage
Stormy Coast
Shrouded Stacks
The Surface (70%? gonna return from the Desolate Tract portal later!)
Signal Spires
Shattered Terrace (nothing past the areas I can make it to, before float xD)
Verdant Waterways (about 90%, i'd say!)
Turbulent Pump (like... two rooms. if it even saved that. drowned under a leviathan's fat ass, lmao.)
||[[NEW 1.5 SHIT]]|| (i think????)
||Fetid Glen || (LOL like two and a half rooms, with zero context on where they are in the greater map)
Torrid Desert (70%-80%!)
||Heat Ducts || (3%, lol. maybe two rooms.)

#

so ye. badlands, migration path, and...

#

....hm. well actually.

#

i guess i could go back through torrid, get to the surface, and then go to desolate tract through there....

#

.....nahhhhhh

#

i want desolate tract to be its own event, not just "might as well on the way" xDDD

#

yeah, i think ill just get this pearl straight to torrential, then decide where to go after

sturdy beacon Oct 16, 2025, 11:11 PM

#

oh--
I have a spare king vulture mask in badlands, AND in torrid now! xD

AND a spare grappleworm in torrid??? lmaoooo

#

...
maybe for the best ._.

#

i was passing a shelter, thinking "nahhh, i could make it to the shelter closer to the aether ridge portal!"

#

and went to the next room, saw a boxworm, and decided

#

.....

#

nahhhhhh..

#

(motherfuckers keep killing my grappleworms : I)

#

...yknow what

#

nows a good time as any to utilize the extra vulture mask.

#

i got to keep that grappleworm at least x'D

sturdy beacon Oct 16, 2025, 11:46 PM

#

this poor grappleworm and all its dream counterparts are just Goin Through It...

#

...

#

grappleworm got out of the shelter >->;;;;

#

....
this is.... probably fine

#

i dont think i had any spots that were accomplished via specifically grappleworm, going back to torrid...

#

...probably

#

also, very good that i have a spare grappleworm in another shelter in aether >v>;;;

#

uhhhh... hm.
well, besides getting that vulture mask again. what was my plan again... hmmmm

#

like, i could do the last of verdant, but thatll send me to fetid glen xD
ill prolly do that when im good and ready
again, not quite feelin turbulent yet... though i think ill do that, before i go to ||Heat Ducts||.

#

if i wanted to go to desolate tract...
....well, no, i couldnt get there from the surface. thats a one-way, i think?

#

...or is it a one-way in the other direction xDDD

#

ok yeah its a one-way in the start-at-desolate direction

#

hm. maybe when i get to my vulture mask at the top shelter in aether, i could just go to the sunlit portal! xD

#

havent been there in a minute

#

then i could take that to rusted, and then desolate

#

itll be a bit of a trek, but hey! its a cool region!

#

hmm... honestly tho

#

maybe i /could/ skip the grappleworm...

#

...

#

actually hm yeah. if im uh. going through rusted. haha.

#

thatll kill it.

#

even if id like to go to the surface from desolate xDD

#

i still got that top right area of the surface to map before im done!

#

guess i /could/ go through the portal while still in desolate, map a bit, and come back to desolate...

#

cause im thinkin, its about time i do desolate xDD

#

even if, the surface would be reeeeeal helpful to have the grappleworm at....

#

....but yeah, i aint gettin the grappleworm through rusted =v=

#

spinning top, you may have referred to me as a little god sausage for the whole misty stepping and dimension hopping, but ive never felt more mortal than going through aether ridge without a king vulture mask and a grappleworm
