I hate [SPOILER]

[granite sorrel]

Atleast I finally pushed on and made it thru

[granite sorrel]

Anyways
Enough arachnophobia out of me
How can one hunt creatures effectively?
Ik not every fight can be won, but I kinda still wanna try to win a fight anyways

I have had lizards slither away after spearing them enough
But I am unsure if that's a sign that they're on their last legs or not

[vestal sand]

fair statement many of us share

[vagrant kestrel]

Throw stuff :P

Try to not hit the head without a plan though! Most creatues can easily tank it like nothing... Though there are exceptions in throwing stuff and the enemies so

Just have fun :P

[vestal sand]

hopeful they got something else than a head

[vagrant kestrel]

Like their immortal and unyielding soul?

Or like the weak flesh we're forced to reside within and are forced to watch it rot and decay with no end?

[buoyant patio]

I hate [SPOILER]

can you please spoiler tag citadel in the first message?

[granite sorrel]

Done
Sorry about that
^^"

[vestal sand]

me too, i hate spoilers

[granite sorrel]

Here's to hoping I atleast catch my self a lizard buffet or so

[buoyant patio]

monk tag:

[vagrant kestrel]

E

Didn't see

Me blind

</3

[modest gale]

@vagrant kestrel Try not to reveal mechanics in other campaigns

[vagrant kestrel]

I apologise i didn't see the tag

Won't happen again!

[modest gale]

Just be sure to remove it once you learned

[granite sorrel]

Can I just say, I absolutely love ||the scavengers||

Silly & ||helpful li'l fellas||
Can't help but always ||bring 'em peace offerings like spears & pearls||

||we are scavs, we are scavs, we are scavs||

:>

[vagrant kestrel]

[ruby canopy]

scav love...

just so youre aware, you do not have to spoil stuff in your own thread, since only the first message shows up to people outside of it

[modest gale]

They are silly spoilers for fun me thinks

[granite sorrel]

I was told to spoiler anything that's, well, a spoiler
^^"

[ruby canopy]

ooh

[granite sorrel]

Anyways
the hunter has become the hunted
I've successfully hunted down, not 1, not 2, but 3 different breeds of lizards

[ruby canopy]

its okay

omg the professional

[granite sorrel]

Tho
Question
I have heard one can consume lizards
But... it's not allowing me to do so?

Can monk not do so?

Also
Any advice on hunting down a ||vulture||?

[ruby canopy]

i think monk is allergic

[ruby canopy]

you should try things out ! thats all i really have to say

[granite sorrel]

||felling such a mighty beast would be an achievement||

[ruby canopy]

prepaire more than you thinkyou have to

[granite sorrel]

If only I could summon scavs at will then

[ruby canopy]

maybe do it near a shelter so if you die you can try again pretty quickly

[granite sorrel]

Well I'm currently at the outskirts, so...
Honestly dying there is no biggie regardless where I die

I'm only missing like... 3 areas me thinks
Or 4
Idk

[buoyant patio]

Only in the first message/title though.

[amber flower]

Bunch of spears, open space, and aim for the face

Don't hit the wings you deal less damage that way

Really make sure you have spare spears bc if they run with one on them you aren't getting it back

[granite sorrel]

Right
So
I know this game thrives off of blind discovery
But I was thinking if anyone could like give me a few tips or leads to access and make my way to the 4th, 8th, & 11th areas?

[granite sorrel]

Nvm, found the 4th area
||a blue overseer helped me???||

[vestal sand]

i can give you a tip !

when you open your map you can see where you have not been yet

[ruby canopy]

this is like the best tip

[granite sorrel]

I mean
Fair
Tho sometimes searching for every nook & cranny can be a challenge
^^"

But yee, been exploring the unexplored as best as I can

soon I'll have ||wanderer's passage||

Can a slug cat not have a crib for their own selves tho?

It's like they woke up from a hangover after a party and the guests are still there, lmao

I'll forever love how dumb they are

Lmao

[ruby canopy]

lmao

i think they like u

[vestal sand]

it is ^^

[granite sorrel]

Given the fact that I've done everything to be on their good side
I'd assume so

Spears
Pearls
And sometimes assist them during hunts

Even save them whenever a lizard has a firm bite on 'em too

[granite sorrel]

I have found the 8th area too
Just missing the 11th area

[granite sorrel]

Question
Is there an unwritten rule about causing more chaos = more chaos to happen naturally in the next cycles within an area
Cuuuuuz
I may or may not have turned ||sky islands|| into a mosh pit

||lizards, flying centipedes, scavs and vultures everywhere||

[modest gale]

could be a game mechanic to explain it

[granite sorrel]

I'll take that as a potential yes

[modest gale]

what im thinking of doesnt entirely explain chaos
there may just be a lot of things in the area

[granite sorrel]

Oh
I mean
Probably
||tbf it is called sky island, so I assume airborne enemies are a given
And a lot of 'em||

Anyways
||I have unlocked every passage in the game so far, fear me!!!
And I've also met five pebbles too||

||But before doing their instructions|| I intend to first fill up every blip of the map
Y'know, the bar on the top right everytime u rest (or die, whichever comes first)

[modest gale]

Screenshot?

[granite sorrel]

I still wish I knew what those blips on the top right mean tho
^^"

Wait
Hecc
Wrong screemshot

apparently I don't have a screenshot with all ||passages|| unlocked

Close enough
^^"

[granite sorrel]

Here's the actual screenshot now

[granite sorrel]

Welp
I managed to claim a vulture mask, thanks to the scavs & I outnumbering 'em, 4 to 1
Unfortunately it was short lived once I made it to the exterior and needed to start swinging around with the grapple bug (idk what it's actually called)

On the brightside, I think I fully explored five pebbles?
I mean, the blue blip is now lit up

never again, with that wretched rot

[viscid plover]

Well done! It's always good to have some passages on hand for if you want to go somewhere

[granite sorrel]

Yup yup!!!
I wanna explore EVERYTHING before going ahead and beating the game
As painful as the game is, the story telling really makes up for it
Def worth while

Reminds me a lot of darksouls 1
You only learn more about the world, not just by progression, but simply by looking into it
See that rock?
It tells a story

[viscid plover]

I assume by now you have a general idea of where you need to go to do that?
Best of luck on exploring the map, the environmental storytelling in this game is amazing and there's lots to uncover

[granite sorrel]

Yup
I accidentally encountered it before meeting five pebbles
And xbox gave me the achievement
So...
Kinda accidentally spoiled my self the ending
But honestly, that's good
Means I can explore first without venturing into my eventual end

[viscid plover]

Achievement?
The final area has measures in place to block off the ending for new players, not sure how you got past those

(spoiler if you havent seen the ending, I'm talking about ||the guardians||)

[granite sorrel]

Nah, I came across them
They denied me access
ended up being too stubborn towards one, so that ended "well"
But once I met five pebbles, boom, xbox achievement regarding the ending
And I'm all like "huh..."

[viscid plover]

Do you remember the achievement's name/description?

[granite sorrel]

I also recently learned that saving a scav from a lizard's bite earns good rep with 'em???
Or maybe one looted my throw spear, idk, lol

[granite sorrel]

I'll have to check it next time I'm on

[viscid plover]

If it was the one telling you to go west past farm arrays, that's the correct achievement for 5 pebbles

[granite sorrel]

Yup

[viscid plover]

In that case you haven't been spoiled, the game also intentionally lets you visit part of the final area early

[granite sorrel]

Huh...

Either way
Imma explore everything as best as I can

[viscid plover]

Which regions are you yet to explore?

[granite sorrel]

I've found all of 'em so far
I just wanna fully explore them
Fill up every blip on the top right of the screen any time u hibernate or die

still don't know what those blips are
But I have a fat hunch it's exploration related after having the blip for five pebbles finally light up after exploring it all

[viscid plover]

Well, do the colours remind you of anything you've seen while exploring?

[granite sorrel]

Honestly?
Not at all

And honestly?
Nor would I mind being spoiled over what them blips mean
^^"

[viscid plover]

Well, telling you won't spoil anything in the campaign at all, they correlate to something outside of story mode

[granite sorrel]

Huh...

[viscid plover]

I can tell you if you want to know, it's not a spoiler really

[granite sorrel]

Please do

^^"

[viscid plover]

They show you which arena unlocks you've found across the world, the column with the arrow above shows the region you're currently in

[granite sorrel]

o h

[viscid plover]

You might have come across some black plant things that show a small hologram when you come near

[granite sorrel]

Yes I have

I feel
Dumb now
Lmao
Well, now I know then

time to gather them all too

[viscid plover]

The game probably should do a better job of explaining what it is, as it's really helpful for locating unlocks you missed

Seems like you already have a fair few unlocked

[granite sorrel]

A y e

[granite sorrel]

Oh def

Not to mention a fun pass time I do is set up arenas with scavs and see how they fair with the horrors of the world
yes, I did use remix cheats to unlock everything in sandbox

Scavs are wonderful beautiful beings
XD

[viscid plover]

Sandbox mode is fun for things like that, can also be used for practice or just to see how creatures who would otherwise never meet behave together, the possibilities are pretty much endless

[granite sorrel]

Agreed

Mmmmm...
I wonder if there's a mod on pc for jolly coop where non-host players can become scavs instead of slug cats
Not that I own the game on pc
But hopefully I will some day

For now I make do with just the base game on Xbox cuz of gamepass

[granite sorrel]

I have made my way to the top of the food chain!!!

Hmmmmm...
Bit of a funny thought
But could you ride a vulture if you stick a spear into it?

[vagrant kestrel]

I mean... You could try

[granite sorrel]

To the sandbox arena I go!!!

[granite sorrel]

Right
So
I was in the garbage wastes exploring for the collectibles for sandbox and arena, yeah?
I was camping out at the centipede safe zone
I just learned centipedes get pissed off more as you keep on eating and hunting 'em
I wasn't expecting a red centipede
I did not want to see a red centipede
I SAW a red centipede

Pain
Fear
Anyways, now I live in a different safe zone for now

[vagrant kestrel]

Lol

Real

[viscid plover]

Red centipedes are terrifying

[granite sorrel]

A y e

[vestal sand]

[granite sorrel]

well then

Y'reckon like... 5+ centipedes is enough to sustain us?

[winter slate]

What in the creature salad is this

[orchid sage]

It's a work of art 🥹

[vagrant kestrel]

Yuh

Actually no

Get a vulture

[granite sorrel]

Last I tried, even if I have one grabbed they won't fit in them tunnels
Even if I make it thru with one grabbed

[orchid sage]

[chrome lynx]

Reposted starting message

That is all I have to say after going in ||the citadel||

[indigo blade]

just removing the minor spoilers in the starting message cause people can see that

actually unsure- will need to ask the felpers

[modest gale]

When they are spoilered you can’t see it outside the post so it’s okay

[indigo blade]

thank you for informing me

[granite sorrel]

After a long time of not updating this forum, I am proud to announce that I have beat my monk play thru and gave collected every arena/sandbox collectible
All I have to say is absolute master piece and whatever the devs were having when making this game I want their entire stock of it

Now question is
Should I move on to a survivor playthru or hunter play thru?

[vagrant kestrel]

Up to you!

[winter slate]

Survivor is similar to monk with some changes
Hunter is much more challenging

[spiral cipher]

congrats on the monk completion

and as for who to play next, like everyone said it's up to you!! you can always start both as well and see if you'd rather do one or the other that way

[granite sorrel]

I did start a hunter playthru and I did reset my survivor playthru
Hunter's too challenging but atleast has new stuff
Survivor would be a more manageable challenge but idk if it has any new stuff at all

:>

[winter slate]

Oh look at that top right corner
Absolutely amazing to see

[granite sorrel]

Y e s

It was a PAIN
But well worth it to get

[orchid sage]

Satisfaction

[viscid plover]

Well done! It's not easy to collect all the arena unlocks in one playthrough

[granite sorrel]

A y e
