also some pretty rainbow i found :)

[molten hill]

Reposted starting message

i have one question and a couple of photos for right now :)
for my question, i got to metropolis and the overseer keeps flashing the iterator symbol at me despite the fact that ive already visited five pebbles (i think he is the closest iterator.) are they trying to guide me to 5p or a new iterator? (some photos of this occurance.,,)

[hollow pagoda]

up to you to decipher what the overseer means, though that is interesting that they are showing you that

[onyx cosmos]

yeah, i thnk im gonna go back and visit five pebbles again

this is also the coolest hibernation spot eber btw

[onyx cosmos]

just gotta remember how to get there sdhfslhdf

[onyx cosmos]

does anyone know how to get past this?

Im trying to jump across the top-section to get to the other side

But I dont think i can make it

i might be able to get an in-game photo in a bit

[onyx cosmos]

Nvm that, im going a diff route to go back to 5p

[onyx cosmos]

good lord this is so annoying.. made it back to the karma gate where I could get to five pebbles after like 5 hours… but it’s literally too high for me to reach. So now I have to find a scavenger of the right karma level, kill it without dying, drag its body all the way back without dying, make it across the large plain without dying, and if I do die then I have to repeat the first 2 steps all over again, and then I have to go back to Five pebbles. This is so annoying

I’m so close to never playing as arti again bro 😭

if I go back to five pebbles and he tells me nothing new I’m not touching this game again for a solid week omg

Does anybody know if this is pointless or if there’s an easier way. Please just tell me I don’t even care about spoilers at this point

yeah im just gonna go find something better to do for the rest of my life

[onyx cosmos]

NVM I LOCKED IN

[gray crag]

Gg

[onyx cosmos]

arti playthrough - changed to all my downpour playthroughs!

started rivulets campaign and have been playing for about an hour!!! doing very well so far with only like 3 deaths or something and14 cycles. saw lttm and showed her two pealrs (yellow and pink i think?) and now im in submerged superstructure!!

im pretty proud i havent even used any maps on the wiki or anything

[onyx cosmos]

this is the worst thing I hate chimney canopy

Why do I have a shelter,failure every cycle!!

[onyx cosmos]

im switching to spearmaster

[onyx cosmos]

nvm im switching back

[hollow pagoda]

Sometimes it be that way
That’s why I always had 2-3 campaigns going at once

[onyx cosmos]

haha yeahh

i try to stick to mine but i was really frustrated with chimney canopy lowkey the hardest region in the game

tell me why people say the wall is hard and chimney canopy is easy though like are we even playing the same game?

[onyx cosmos]

got the rarefaction cell yay!

[onyx cosmos]

Almost through sky islands making my way back to lttm sigh.... decided to go through the pipeyard since i havent been there yet

[onyx cosmos]

lets go!!!

[onyx cosmos]

nice.... hibernating with full food pips+vulture mask

[onyx cosmos]

get out of my house bro ..........

[onyx cosmos]

Bro Im back in chimney canopy on accident im genuinely in awe how they managed to design the Worst map ever and nobody is against this
WHY did they decide to make it so the arma gate to drainage system needs FIVE KARMA despite the fact theres NO food around?????????

[onyx cosmos]

im tired of this bro 😭🙏🙏

[onyx cosmos]

can someone help me... idk how im supposed to get up there

theres no toher way to gwet from lightgreen to yellow

<@&1137895527271379055> does anyone know 😭

[exotic ginkgo]

Your..... Not

[onyx cosmos]

What

how am i supposed to get to lttm then

[hollow pagoda]

the issue with maps

you cant go that way

[onyx cosmos]

what other way is there

[hollow pagoda]

if you are going to use a map anyway, the answers are there

[exotic ginkgo]

I gtg but mono has got this

[onyx cosmos]

is Struts in lttm?

[hollow pagoda]

[hollow pagoda]

i was thinking of the wrong place, you are right that there is stuff up there but without any tools or some weird movement you cant get up that way

[onyx cosmos]

alright, thanks

[hollow pagoda]

the usage of the map just kinda defeats the purpose of asking for help here, you might have more luck in #downpour-spoilers if you want direct answers

youre still welcome to use this post to document though! im not kicking you out

[onyx cosmos]

I guess so

Sorry, I don't normally use maps but i started out playing as spearmaster without one and ended up in chimney canoopy and spent 5 mmiserable hours there and it lowkey ruined my whole spearmaster campaign so id just like to get through it as quickly as possible 😭 i just want to play saint

[exotic ginkgo]

i love spearmaster tho

u can try looking for another way

[exotic ginkgo]

uhhh ||yeah......||

[onyx cosmos]

oki, I ended up getting to struts this morning, I’m just gonna explore cuz it’s a lot like the exterior which I love

[exotic ginkgo]

Yeee it's col

Cool

[onyx cosmos]

OK i've decided after careful consideration this is just the exterior-pre some event

it looks as though it is in the proceesss of crumbling

i guess since this is looks to the moon it's just the exterior pre-moon's collapse

[onyx cosmos]

Woah..

i have no idea where i am but this place is so cool

[onyx cosmos]

does anyone know how to get these 9 dots? I kinda thought it was like the mark of communication thing cuz ive been able to access it in previous runs

but i do have the mark and cant get thru 💔4

[hollow pagoda]

it doesnt seem that you have the ability to go there

[onyx cosmos]

do I have to go all the way back through looks to the moon 😭

[hollow pagoda]

its not possible to get through that gate now so

[onyx cosmos]

aww

I suppose I did find a different gate earlier

So I can try that one

[onyx cosmos]

hey so I got to five pebbles as spear master

I wasn’t sure quite what to do so I used my passage to looks to the moon thinking I’d keep the red pearl but now I don’t have it

What do I do??? I’m getting the feeling that way important

And I went to looks to the moon anyway but she just said one thing and nothing since that

Do I just ascend like normal? That seems kinda lame. :/

<@&1137895527271379055> anybody? I even looked back at my recording to make sure i did infact have the red pearl and it was there right before i used the passage

[twin portal]

You need the Key Items on Passage remix setting to be enabled for those to come with you

So if you didn't, it's still in the previous resting spot

[onyx cosmos]

if i use my passage to go back will it still be there?

(I had another one as well)

[twin portal]

Yeah probably

Only way it wouldn't be is due to some glitch

[onyx cosmos]

Thanks!

[onyx cosmos]

Dude

i hibernated

with my red pearl

and i woke up and it wasnt there

i have video footage of this too

what do i do??

it might take me a minute to get it uploaded because since it's too long i need to export it to youtube first

(I spent arounud 3 minutes or something looking up the passages inbetween hibernating / waking up)

https://youtu.be/TaGnNfQbatQ

is my run ruined? did i do something wrong?? i really don't wanna have to redo it all :(

[lost furnace]

i think this can be fixed by simply hibernating again

[onyx cosmos]

Okay ill try that

thank you

[lost furnace]

if that doesnt work then

https://www.reddit.com/r/rainworld/s/JJndpLLnhC

read through these solutions

[onyx cosmos]

i went back to my old hibernation before it and got it. however when i was holding it again i went through a pipe and it dissapeared out of my hand

i appeared to be holding something but there was nothing there and i threw it, and there wasnt anything on the floor

i think this game is too glitchy for me to be playing rn along with my fever, ill try again tomorrow i guess

[onyx cosmos]

does anybody know how to make it so everytime i go through this tunnel my pearl doesnt dissapear? id really like to progress but im kinda unable

i just want to play saint :(

[proper salmon]

verify files if you can?

[onyx cosmos]

does anybody know how to make this jump? ive already tried throwing my one spear at the start for velocity. squidcada isn't an option because i cant hold squidcada and my pearl.

it just doesn't feel possible

<@&1137895527271379055>

[exotic ginkgo]

Are you artificer

[lost night]

no theyre spearmaster

uhmm

[exotic ginkgo]

o

[lost night]

let me have a look

im gonna try some stuff out myself

[onyx cosmos]

thank you!

[hollow pagoda]

you may find that there is something you can use to get across in the area

if you cant figure it out there is always another path to be taken

[onyx cosmos]

do you mean like a squidcada??

Idk what else could help me

and there might be another path but i'd have to backtrack so far

[hollow pagoda]

the problem is you want to keep the thing youre holding too

[onyx cosmos]

and i really really dont want to spend anymore hours on spearmaster i already have about 30 in total

[hollow pagoda]

it may be easier for you to take another route ^_^

[onyx cosmos]

yes

[hollow pagoda]

30 isnt that many

[onyx cosmos]

It's a lot when im playing a campaign i dont particularly enjoy

[lost night]

theres a lot thta goes into how long a certain amount of time is for someone

[hollow pagoda]

there is always another way across

[onyx cosmos]

i cant think of what other route im supposed to take anyway though I need to be in sky islands

[exotic ginkgo]

A uh... Pretty big hint but ||u can throw things across the gap||

[hollow pagoda]

my main point is...
rainworld is not a game that you should worry about rushing through

[onyx cosmos]

i can try that

[exotic ginkgo]

I like spearmaster a lot but the carry the pearl can get very annoying very easily ...
Can I suggest playing a bit post game

[onyx cosmos]

yeah like i understand that. but i dont like playing as spearmaster and i don't like carrying this pearl around. really all i want is to play saint. like as the other slugcats that i enjoyed I didn't worry about backtracking because i enjoyed playing as them (Like when i spent a few hours as artificer going back to visit five pebbles to see if he had anything more to say (he didnt))

[hollow pagoda]

||there is more than one ending||

[onyx cosmos]

Yeah.. I might, ive def done that with some other slugcats that i like lol (artificer and rivulet)

[onyx cosmos]

Yeah I know i could probably ascend but i don't have max karma unlocked and i don't wanna spend one million more hours finding another echo

[lost night]

ok

[onyx cosmos]

Plus i want to know the spearmaster lore with like the rainworld ending

um

spearmaster ending

not rainworld ending

[violet root]

end of rain world 💥

[hollow pagoda]

not every gap needs to be crossed, my biggest suggestion is to try another path if you find it difficult

im not sure you will enjoy saints campaign if you are finding frustrations here, but i hope that you figure it out!!

[onyx cosmos]

I dont think there's another path i can take that doesn't involve me spending 5+ hours backtracking while being incredibly frustrating

[onyx cosmos]

Idk man from what I've read the abilities seem like something I enjoy

[lost night]

i found a . somewhat not that tech heavy way of getting across

[onyx cosmos]

Ooohh?

[lost night]

i need to send the video to my phone firsy hold on

[onyx cosmos]

haha no worries

[exotic ginkgo]

Oh have you been spoiled??

[onyx cosmos]

A little bit? By choice but Like I read the abilities part of the wiki page because I do enjoy knowing what I'm getting into

Idk the lore tho

[exotic ginkgo]

Ohh

[onyx cosmos]

Which is what I find personally important to not get spoiled about

[violet root]

being blind on the lore at least is very good

[hollow pagoda]

the wiki is very heavy on spoilers for everything

[violet root]

lore is fun to discover

[onyx cosmos]

I Know

[exotic ginkgo]

I want to pull someone into RW and not tell them what slugcats are called and get them to make up their own name

[onyx cosmos]

Ohh thank you so much!!

[lost night]

run 2 tiles to the right, switch direction and then jump at the edge and throw

[violet root]

little guy go!!!!

[lost night]

[onyx cosmos]

Ill go get another karma and see if it works

[lost night]

gl

[onyx cosmos]

thank you!! <3

[violet root]

you got this

[lost night]

it might take a few attempts especially with. everything trying to get you

[hollow pagoda]

||you can easily get across by pouncing + throw boost - just did it myself||

[exotic ginkgo]

Hey rat!!!
I gtg

[onyx cosmos]

yeah man the king vultures and 2 winged centipedes are ANNOYING lol

[lost night]

oh woah

barely honestly

[violet root]

Hey tankium!!!!!
bye tankium

[hollow pagoda]

its more consistent and easier

[lost night]

thats probablt easier i didn't even try that

[hollow pagoda]

for op just so there is a more direct explanation:

||what i am doing is a pounce across the gap and throwing one spear right away. it is important you hold left input and up so you grab onto the ledge and travel as far as you need to||

[lost night]

another thing to note for getting as close to the edge as you can without falling off
||if you line up. the part where the little leg intersects the rest of the body with the edge of the platform and press down for a really short time (if you press down while already crouched itll push you off) youll be pretty much as far as you can be without falling off||

image for reference

this lineup is pretty much the upper limit though you can go a little further but you have a high chance of falling off

[onyx cosmos]

Yknow sometimes i get the feeling in a certain region that my slugcat was Not designed to be able to function well there

[hollow pagoda]

there is only some exceptions i can think of but they make themselves obvious, otherwise everything is built to be your playground!

[onyx cosmos]

Yeah I dont think getting back to sky islands is even possible Atp i haven't even been able to hibernate once in the past 30 minutes

everytime i get to max food

I make my way back

and there's 8 scavengers waiting to jump me

And i can kill a couple but they can instantly throw spears as soon as they can see 1 pixel of my hitbox so its just not fair

Idk man i really wanna play saint but i really dont want to play spearmaster any longer

[hollow pagoda]

its not impossible to get back

take it with patience, lure them around, and take breaks if you have to

[onyx cosmos]

alright so I managed to get enoough kara after like 3 hours

I threw my pearl to the other side then brought a squidcada over

it was not enough unfortunately

ill try some of the other ideas u guys suggested

[onyx cosmos]

I might try again in a few days but tbh im really not having fun with it rn

So yea ill Say if i do manage to get past it

[onyx cosmos]

I might try to play gourmand or hunter Tbh

[onyx cosmos]

I MADE IT LETS GO!!

[violet root]

YAYY

[violet root]

congrats on finishing spearmaster!!

[onyx cosmos]

thank you!

[onyx cosmos]

I'm lowkey locked in as saint

I just reached attunement

and i've visited so many echoes

the saint version of drainage system is SO PRETTY

one of my favorite regions for sure

ima go visit lttm now

i already saw her and she said like come back later basically

soo Im hoping itll be different now

[onyx cosmos]

I ascended five ebbles and looks to the moon.. idrk if i was supposed to because they didnt really say anything but i thought it would be cool

its what at least five pebbles wanted i think

[onyx cosmos]

made it to rubicon..........

its cool here but it makes me anxious

[exotic ginkgo]

Rubicon!!!!

[onyx cosmos]

Oh gosh I just finished saint.. oh my god

[hollow pagoda]

congrats!

[exotic ginkgo]

want some saint fun facts????

[onyx cosmos]

interesting….

[onyx cosmos]

wait wait wait I just had a thiught about this part

so since Saint is an echo he’s been here for quite a long time

And the first time I saw this I was like is this me? I don’t have any fur

But I think it is me, and I don’t have the thick fur because at thst point I didn’t need it

But eventually as I tried and tried and failed to ascend I got it to suit the environment more

And unrelated mostly but I wonder if other echoes can take other forms as well? Or is it just Saint? If it’s just Saint what’s special about them?

[exotic ginkgo]

any theories??

[onyx cosmos]

i’m not sure honestly, maybe saint is like half echo or something? i’m not really sure how that would work though.

[onyx cosmos]

pplaying gourmand rn

i dont see how anybody likes scavengers

im in garbage wastes

ill literally give them two pearls

but they still wont let me past the toll

i literally dont know whyyy they keep killing me

[fading aspen]

Have you ensured they've grabbed the pearls before you cross?

[lost furnace]

also it may not register if you throw the pearl or are out of sight, they have to register that you were giving the pearl (dropping it works)

[onyx cosmos]

i did manage to get past it thank you guys! got thru the exterior in like 3-4 tries and im pretty happy with it :3 omw to five pebbles now

[onyx cosmos]

raindeer some of the msot annoying creatures ever

[exotic ginkgo]

Real

[onyx cosmos]

Hey guys

I have a question

Im in subterranean rn

and I looked on the wiki bcs i realized i still did not manage to find and eat cyan lizard

soo it says they spawn here

i was wondering if anybody knew where?

id like to complete food quest cuz idk if this place im going will have them

i think the cyan lizaard is literaly last thing i need lol

[proper salmon]

They are pretty mobile, so I'm sure if you took a look around for a while you'll be sure to run into one

[onyx cosmos]

Found some! Now I just realized I forgot aqua pede. How far am I gonna have to backtrack to find one of thise

[hollow pagoda]

i was going to say i wouldnt consider sub the best place to find a cyan but the certainly exist!

[onyx cosmos]

Yeahh I thought I got one at sky islands but I guess not 😭

I guess I’m close to either drainage or shoreline exit so I can prob find one in one of those regions a bit of backtracking is ok

[onyx cosmos]

hehe got the aquapede... and along the way i managed to get a passage so i can go right back to the closest shelter in subt to get to the new place! hooray!! im excited to pick this up tomorrow :-)

[zenith horizon]

the title makes me think you are still in arti

[exotic ginkgo]

Me too

[onyx cosmos]

haha ill rename it lol

DOWNPOUR PLAYTHROUGHS...

[onyx cosmos]

!!

[exotic ginkgo]

Food quest complete with no red centi kills...

Congrats inngourmand

[onyx cosmos]

hehe yeah i did aquapede instead

[onyx cosmos]

trying to learn the map well and stuff so playing monk (was also trying to find soome slugpups now that i finished food quest but none have spawned 😭 ) im 1hr 45min in and just met five pebbles im lowkey cookinggg

Oh. they dont spawn as monk

hm

[onyx cosmos]

total time like 3 hour 4 minutes im getting better

[exotic ginkgo]

this is with moik?

[exotic ginkgo]

THIS WAS IT this was my hunter message

hunter role benchmarking while i can

[onyx cosmos]

dude Im playing a run as survivor to get some achievements (wanderer and mother) and omg.

scavengers are genuinely the stupidest critters ever

i pass by the scavenger toll and give them a pearl i had

and then they let me past , i go past , and then some random one chases me down and kills me

keep in mind i have done genuinely NOTHING against the scavengers so far

genuinely the most unfair ever i dont get how people like them 💔

[onyx cosmos]

got wanderer 👍

[onyx cosmos]

uhh can somebody help?

i tried to go thru depths.. i had 10 karma with protectioon

and then the gaurdians throw+kill my slugpup?? how do i avoid this..??

[shadow sonnet]

Thats the neat part :3

[onyx cosmos]

Ok how do I avoid it thiugh

it’s not very neat he just killed my child 💔

[shadow sonnet]

You dont :3

[onyx cosmos]

ok IM gonna go to outer expanse

[onyx cosmos]

awww<3

[exotic ginkgo]

scugs

[onyx cosmos]

I think it’s because Saint is a slugcat who failed to ascend.. I guess I never really thought about it before but I don’t think it’s ever said only ancients can be left behind as echos

idk why I didn’t think about this before

[onyx cosmos]

finally!

[onyx cosmos]

what does the CRS button mean?

[onyx cosmos]

does anyone have any tips for hunter... i've been trying to go this route but every single time i die like 2-3 times trying to because there's 2 vultures, 2 aqua lizards, 3 yellow lizards, 2 white lizards, and more if im unlucky , and whenever i die 2 or more times i just have to restart completely and lose 30 minutes of my time . ive done this so so so many times over the past 3 days and im going insane.

idk why they decided that the one slugcat that cannot waste any karma is the one who needs to visit the echoes. that need max karma.

[fading aspen]

It's not the end of the world to die a few times in sky islands

It's frankly the optimum place to dedicate your safety net cycles

[onyx cosmos]

it is though because then when i try to get the chimney canopy echo I can't get it

and i have like 20 cycles that i will Need for other places

[fading aspen]

If you can escape sky islands with like, 12 or more cycles left the run is saveable

[onyx cosmos]

hmm Ok

[fading aspen]

After that just plan routes well and there won't even be 12 shelters between you and the ending

[onyx cosmos]

Thsnk you

[fading aspen]

Have you visited 5 pebbles as hunter before?

[onyx cosmos]

Nope

Im thinking after 5pebbles, I find a way to get to shoreline, then drainage then subt

[onyx cosmos]

You know I am starting to believe his game is Not fun

[onyx cosmos]

bro I have spent all day playing this and I have not made any progress in the apst like 5 hours. im not going to play this game for a while i think.

[onyx cosmos]

got Lowkey mad about things irl so i went to rainworld of course and i am proud to announce i met both echoes and have about 14 cycles left! Now i need to climb the wall and meet five pebbles

and meat the echo on the wall of course

meet

not meat

Wait you normally don't need max karma to meet the echo on The Wall is that true for hunter too?

<@&1137895527271379055> can someone confirm this please before i die a million times on the wall... 🙏

[hollow pagoda]

yes that is true

[onyx cosmos]

Awesome thank you!!

[hollow pagoda]

if youre going to 5P wouldnt it be worth it to check that area either way

[onyx cosmos]

Well ues but if it wasn’t like thst and I died on the wall it would be pretty frustrating

[hollow pagoda]

||There is a shelter right before five pebbles||

[onyx cosmos]

I Know but i didnt want to waste my cycles

I didn't hibernate at either of the cycles before five pebbles jus tth eone at the wall by the chimney caopy gate

[hollow pagoda]

you might be surprised with how much time you really have
i dont blame you for being safe here though

[onyx cosmos]

yeah better safe than sorry

and i did get it so its fine

now i just have to make it down the wall with enough karma to go back to chimney canopy

[hollow pagoda]

i remember in my hunter playthrough i would go through all of farm arrays in a cycle

[onyx cosmos]

i think ima do that, industrial , garbage , shoreline, then subt

Oh gosh

[hollow pagoda]

looks like a good plan

[onyx cosmos]

I hibernated once in farm arrays, thrice in sky islands (once to raise karma) and then once in chimney, and once in the wall

I guess twice sorry I just hibernated again s

[hollow pagoda]

ah i never took the sky island route

[onyx cosmos]

what's a good other route? /genq

this one seemed most obvious to me so i took it

[hollow pagoda]

there are multiple, but i aimed for outskirts after farm arrays because i personally found it to be easier

[onyx cosmos]

ohh fair

I do like outskirts to be honest

my favorite regions are prob outskirts, drainage, and then undergrowth (if you don't just count it as drainage )

[hollow pagoda]

sky islands route is the more efficient one i believe- for speedrunners

[onyx cosmos]

yeahh

speedrunning sounds so fun but unfortunately im not quite good enough yet

ive been practicing my slides and rolls n stuff though so maybe someday

[hollow pagoda]

there are always other categories that are less intimidating if/when you try

[onyx cosmos]

yeah! i think going to lttm would be fun as im pretty quick going through those 4? regions

[hollow pagoda]

there is a server challenge for that where you do it on the starting cycle. its called despicable and you can learn about it in #challenge-info if you are curious (you get a color role for doing any of those challenges)

spoiler warning on the spreadsheet and in the challenge channels for all campaigns except watcher

[onyx cosmos]

oooh wow.. i just looked through it.. that sounds cool! i might do that or mycologist (I like purple.... want a purple name....)

[hollow pagoda]

thats a fun one

ive been working on it recently too
though im taking an unconventional path so its tricky

[onyx cosmos]

yeah fair!

I might start practicing for the despicable one that sounds like a fun challenge :-)

alright so i saw you need the "disable all karma requirements" how do I get that?

[hollow pagoda]

Ah I seem to have gotten distracted
If you’re still searching for it it is within the remix settings and you will find it on the bottom left in the area with the red colored settings (because they are cheats)

But despicable is impossible to do without that setting anyway

You may want to enable No Randomized Cycle Duration too, it allows you to have the maximum amount of time to complete it on every attempt

[onyx cosmos]

I think Im gonna play hunter with disable karma tbh. I feel kinda bad about it but its a lot more fun for me to not have to worry about karma (and anyway i did already visit the 3 echoes and five pebbles)

[onyx cosmos]

interesting place to come upon
