Note: Comments are welcome :3 Just no spoiling any region I've not been through.

So, I've been playing a whole lot of rainworld the last couple of months. I put it down for a year after trying it and then picked it back up at the urging of a friend back in August. This time it clicked.

And now, after getting one ending on every campaign, I'm her with Inv, struggling through it.

I am playing with a couple mods:
SBCameraScroll - I just hate the screen transitions
AimAnywhere - This one def makes things easier, I wont lie, but feels natural.
What's in my pocket - Just visuals is nice
ScoreGalore - Scores ya
Staminizer - Stamina meter is nice when starve cycling.

Additionally, I am playing with monk style gates.

The route I intend to take is:

Shaded Citadel (echo) -> Shoreline -> Garbage Wastes -> Drainage Systems -> Outskirts -> Industrial -> Chimney (echo) -> Exterior -> 5 Pebbles -> Exterior, (echo) -> Chimney -> Industrial -> Pipeyard -> Sky islands (echo) -> Farm Arrays (echo) -> Subteranean -> End

This way I'll have at least visited all zones.

Shaded Citadel
To start off, its the shaded citadel. The extra darkness is really annoying, and going left seemed like a dead end. I tried right a couple times until I realized that the climb does not seem possible.

So back to left. We make it to the first big obstacle besides the rain w/ Miros birds, the 2 centipedes. It takes a handful of attempts in order to catch both in my blast, and a few times I drown in the rain when feeding due to how they died. Then I retreat to the nearby shelter and sleep.

Then it takes a couple more tries to get past the centipedes and the weed to get to that first vertical shelter. Yay, no more shelter failures.

I spend a while here, learning the lay of the land and eventually killing a scav to steal their lanturn. Big progress really. Once my karma is maxed, I get the Echo and then hightail it on over to Shoreline.

#

Shoreline
Shoreline is really rather easy to move through. I make it all the way to Moon without a single death. Its sad to see that she's disabled, but after visiting moon, I head on over to Garbage Wastes. There really isnt much of note here. I think I died like twice. Probably because the gimick was disabled.

#

Garbage Wastes, AKA ||Nachos Will Never Be The Same Again||
When I first enter from shoreline, I of course immediate proceed to die in the water. But after a few tries, I use one of the bugs to assist me in gliding across. I havnt actually figured out the gimic yet other than the water kills me. But I dont have too much difficulty navigating about. A couple shelters in and i find it pretty easy.

The stretch between Garbage Wastes and Drainage system gives me a little bit of trouble, but I'm using starved cycle cheese to never actually lose any karma. Down here I eventually figure out that the water raises and lowers over time and use that to do some parkour and navigate around. I get the the shelter right before drainage system

#

So I want to stress that at this point, while I dont have a specific death count, it is less than 60, I'm certain.

#

Drainage Systems ||Painage Systems||
This is the first area where the gimmick has absolutely fucked me up. These exploding snails that randomly teleport on top of you with no counter are just awful. It takes me way too many deaths to clear the first room. You cant throw them without being caught in the blast. Bumping them causes the same. Eventually I figure out that if you maul a snail, it is set down in a manner that doesnt explode (Unless something else bumps it.) And then same thing if you eat it. So I use this technique to stun snails about to explode and move snails in the way to progress. Unfortunately this area is just so RNG.

Several times I make it to the room before the room before the shelter that I'm headed to, only to find that the pipe is blocked by dead red centipedes, who have fallen in and you cant get through. I drown a couple times trying to get through. I figure out that snails accumulate over time, and if I dont stop to eat more than the 3 food pips, I can eat a dead centipede in teh end and get to full.

Eventually I make it to the room of the shelter when the centipedes dont spawn in a way that prevents me from getting in. That room is too clogged with snails and I explode.

Eventually though, after literally hundreds of deaths, I make it there and sleep the night. I eat the karma flower there, and attempt to make it towards Outskirts. I eventually lose my karma flower, and at that point I disable karma gates, because this area is too RNG and I dont trust myself to escape twice in a row.

I make it to outskirts, and get eatten by a red before sheltering. Then its a cyan. The third time I make it to outskirts I hit my shelter and we're clear.

This is what score Galore had me when I finally slept in the outskirts shelter, bearing in mind that prior to this, I was at less than 60 deaths.

#

Thats nearly 400 deaths in drainage systems

#

Outskirts ||We forgot to render this||
Honestly nothing to special. I make it to the vertical shelter beneath industrial zone without dying, bringing a blue fruit in before I slept to abuse starved cycles. Then I farm my karma all the way up to max, killing lizards and centipedes and using starved cycles to ensure that I never back track. During this time, I got about 20 deaths.

It takes me a few attempts to head up to Industrial Zone, but I do that easily enough.

#

Industrial Zone
This is where I am now. I found it relatively easy to make it through to the vertical shelter beneath Chimneytop Canopy. I've seen the train lizards, and they're pretty neat. I've died to them a couple of times. I'm determined to hunt one of them and add them to my score card before I finally head on up to the chimney. I intend to do chimney to echo in one go so that I dont have tot deal with not having access to starved cycles. Or at the very least, making it to the shelter before sky islands so I'm unlikely to fail on a trek up to the echo.

#

This is where I was last save

hollow siren
#

Finally positive score! Also got hunter :3

Yesterday I spent a lot of time trying to get the Martyr passage, before I leave Industrial. Unfortunately I cant seem to survive enough cycles in a row to accomplish it. Still doing this means my karma is near maxed.

hollow siren
#

The one thing I love about doing the starve cycles though is double egg. I love my egg. Considering that the shelter failure happens every time, and the egg is technically a bad powercell, I wonder if Inv rips them out of the shelters :P

hollow siren
#

Alright, got the martyr, finally time to leave for chimeytop

#

Chimneytop Cannopy
Wth, I cant jump here?

#

Thats hecced

#

These thigns spawning...I cant remember thier names. I thought about eating them but apparently tehy're only worth 1/4 food pip, so not really

#

There's a lizard massacre over here, should have screenshotted it but I forgot. LIke 4 red lizards all piled up. Unfortunatley it seemed one actually did survive cause it ate my meep and then another ate me while I was climbign slowly.

#

Also, here's my score for the night

hollow siren
#

@paper sleet

@edgy token

#

@violet flume

#

@clear flint

#

Hiya friendos , welcome to my pain.

#

(though inv spoilers so if that's a problem I'd leave, but yall are way older scugs than I am)

edgy token
#

Awa! O hi!

spark bay
#

@hollow siren INTRIGUING

#

for context oodil and me are playing a mod rn and he told me about this

#

also im one of the first people to beat inv and even helped make its guide!

#

so its nice to see this

fleet wren
clear flint
#

a

#

haven't played inv yet

hollow siren
hollow siren
#

FUck painage system though. Everything but that has been fine

violet flume
#

the goober!!

#

love the little lovestruck dumbass so much💙

hollow siren
violet flume
#

ahh mb- i was mostly thinking how critters normally draw em, not their ingame self, but could be seen the other way x3

#

also huh small text is disallowed here saintstare

hollow siren
#

Ya it is, I wanted to # my region titles, but that wasnt allowed either

hollow siren
#

@earnest tree dragging yet another friend in :3

earnest tree
#

Oh hi voidwatercatpuppy

hollow siren
#

@cosmic kite More friends who share this server :3

cosmic kite
hollow siren
#

I wish there was a 'friends who share your servers' list

hollow siren
#

Alright we back on the grind :3

#

Cycle 38 lets go

#

These guys fucking stayed in my shelter and steal my eggs

#

Alright fuck it, after they stole my stuff an dkilled me repeatedly, I nuked them and left.

#

Not bad hunting :3

#

one egg, 2 train lizards and a cyan. Time to build my karma back up after those theives.

#

And 2 vultures in one kill on a starved cycle

#

karma is almost back up

hollow siren
#

And F there goes all my karma again after trying to get through this place xP

#

You know the jumping inst too bad, the worst part is the fact that Yeeks take both hands. I can only carry weapons in my forestomach.

hollow siren
#

TIL train lizards can clip you out of geometry with thei tails in short pipes

rain folio
#

if you hold a directional input towards the "in bounds" area your slugcat will make its way towards it and be free again

hollow siren
#

Ah neat

#

I instead panicked and bombed myself xP

#

Turns out being inside geometry does not save you from singularity

hollow siren
rain folio
#

you dont have to tap up or anything it just grabs it

hollow siren
#

Feels like I usually drop when I do that

#

So, I had this theory that what was happening in Chimeny was that upon jumping it was instantly exhausting you...well it turns out that that theory is entirely correct.

So uhh...starving here means its really hard to even get up the first pole...ooops.

#

New plan, starved cycles but I feed before leaving industrial

rain folio
hollow siren
#

I hate these yeeks....they arent jumping when I want them too xP

hollow siren
#

Echo 2 at chimney

#

now to actually shelter at chimney

hollow siren
#

Omg...scug pups explode into singularity bombs when they die?

hollow siren
#

Well I shelterd in chimney and then proceded to die several times, no starved cycles there due to teh shelter style. Guess I am going back to industrial to farm. And maybe keep this pup safe.

hollow siren
#

Done for the night, did not make it quite successfully back to industrial. got unlucky wiht a lizard spawn right before entering the shelter xP

fleet wren
hollow siren
#

Ahhh theres what I've been missing almost certianly

hollow siren
#

Oh look, mother and Outlaw in the same go :3

#

Actually legit gonna ask before I throw myself at it too much. With inv being unable to pounce or throw jump, can you make this gap? Or do I need to pick a different way to the exterior?

#

@spark bay

#

I see I backed up slightly in the clip...maybe that was my mistake.

rain folio
#

Spear is kind of right but not really

#

inv isnt able to pounce?

hollow siren
#

if you're on a pole the guys give you less distance

hollow siren
#

in the chimneytop, any jump at all makes you use 'exausted jump'

rain folio
#

ohhh yeah

#

Maybe a different route would be more feasible

hollow siren
#

I'm gonna try right on the edge and see if that works. I was just scared about hitting right too soon and walking forward off sthe cliff before my meep did the leap.

#

but lookign at the clip it was near instant

rain folio
#

where are you trying to get to after the jump

hollow siren
#

thats the jump right in front of Exterior

#

Gonna go exterior (underthang) to 5 pebbles

rain folio
#

There is another route to underhang if you can’t make it

hollow siren
#

I am not doing the leg climb :P I looked at that already when I originally did not want to go to shaded xP

#

God so much rot

#

Ya just double checked my map and ya its either shaded or chimney, so I guess this must be doable

rain folio
#

im not too well versed in yeeks hunterrip

hollow siren
#

I intend to abuse the fuck out of starved cylces to go from UW_S01 to 5 pebbles

#

Love my vertical shelters

hollow siren
#

Ok, sooo, lost my slugpup...they unfortunately got knocked off and landed on a ledge that I wasnt going to try to get to. Buuut turns out when you crouch you seem to go higher, and thus further

#

this was super tight buuuuut got it

#

Ok, wtf is this area...its so dark and sooo much rot

#

I guess welcome to the

Exterior ||Uberhang||
everyone

#

This dropwig welcomes me too hecc. Though that grey should have stood out to me. Guess I'll be more alert.

hollow siren
#

God celebration for real

#

And I've already died 3 times in teh room outside the shelter oops, this one's kinda pain

#

Huh wait no shelter failure, weird

#

Calling it for now :3

#

And for fun, my realtime so far

meager frigate
#

32 hours 🥹

hollow siren
# meager frigate 32 hours 🥹

16 or so was painage system. 400 deaths most people would have quit or gine a different route. I'm stupid stubborn though xP

#

Otherwise I took a long time in industrial grinding out passages and such.

#

I will never claim to be good at this game, just persistent xP

#

Though I actually feel like I'm getting the hang of inv.

I should maybe figure out movement techniques one day.

hollow siren
#

Sooo...next bright idea, singularity bomb launch:

#

Unsuccessful though xP xP

#

Accidentally mauled my grapple worm so...ya xP

hollow siren
#

Finally past the first area...also this place is evil!

#

(been slightly distracted so this isnt real time)

hollow siren
#

Also fucking mirros vulters spawn here? @_@

hollow siren
#

Man, eager to get home from work...I wanna work on grapple worm perfection some more.

hollow siren
#

I will fully admit I looked up a movement guide for this section. I would not have figured out that mega swing jump by myself

hollow siren
#

Unfortunately though, I did not make it to the shelte ron that life, I died to some rot later

hollow siren
#

No progress, many deaths

hybrid prism
#

Ah yes, platforming in the dark with rot everywhere
Truly, this is "fun"

hollow siren
#

2nd time met a cyan lizard

#

3rd time I took the wrong path and ended up in rot

hollow siren
#

Omg Omg I did it~~!

#

I'm in 5 pebbles

#

Fuck you silly grapple worm stuff

#

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

#

Fuck ya

#

excited scug noises

#

Checking in

#

Why is 5 pebbles full of antigravity water?

#

It looks almost like void fluid

hollow siren
#

Oh there are MLLs in like every room hecc

hollow siren
#

There is way too much rot at the top here...huh...I wonder if I need to bomb launch myself with my bomb

#

Might be able to ground spear and then hop on top too

#

I have pathfinder soon though so I must attempt later

hollow siren
hollow siren
rain folio
hybrid prism
#

How'd it taste?

hollow siren
hollow siren
#

Nomad took me 2 passages to get...due to me sucking buuuut here it is :3. The first passage waste was because I forgot that you couldnt backtrack on a starved cycle.

#

Score check in, 756 deaths

hollow siren
#

Gonna try and get the friend...with a train lizard :3

#

I did just train a lizard fo rthe first time

#

Thought he was gonna try and eat me

hollow siren
#

Taming lizards is haaaard

hollow siren
#

The friend! This is a first for me

#

I had never tamed a lizard in all of rainworld :D

#

Score check in

hollow siren
#

Pipeyard ||Tooooooooooobbbeeeesss||

Pipeyard was neat but pretty quick to get through. I didnt even map for it since I dont think I've been to pipeyard before in another playthrough.

Teh silly disco was intersting but had like no impact on actualy playing it

#

Check in, calling it for now though

#

dragonsplayer is super hard on inv...mole lizards easy, but wehre am I gonna find like a pink or something?

hybrid prism
hollow siren
#

Sky Islands

Wtf, its all dark and gravity keeps turning on and off. Also if I go through the top I end up at the bottom of the screen...why am I looping? This is weird.

hollow siren
hollow siren
#

Alright, finally managed to shelter in sky islands

#

now to bank enough karma to get the echo...or probably more honestly use a passage to max my karma after I get the route down.

hollow siren
#

Last night was the first time I picked it up and felt irritated, so didnt make much progress. Died a couple times and left it. Mood just wasnt there.

hollow siren
#

Made it back to my shelter, and have a spare bit of food! Time to passage, (Or double passage hopefully not, and starve cycle this bitch til I get my echo~)

#

you can in fact passage to the shelter you are at :D

#

so there we go~

hollow siren
#

My Eggs and I

#

My Eggs and I (800+ Deaths)

hollow siren
#

So...still stuck at this shelter, played with it today, I'm getting closer to the heccin echo

hollow siren
#

Fuck ya, finally made it to the echo to trigger it

#

now to go again, just to actually get it~

#

I think I've got the hang of this route though so should be reasonably doable

hollow siren
#

Man sadness, I should have pounced maybe

hollow siren
#

And finally echo get

#

Hmmm...why am I at 10? I still have 1 more echo to grab

hollow siren
#

My Eggs and I (1000+ Deaths)

rain folio
hollow siren
#

I need to make it out of sky islands and into farm arrays now

#

xP xP

#

Also grab my last echo, hunt down 2 other lizard. (Really struggling to find them, one will be mole, but idk where the fuck the other is) and make friends with scavs. Sleep in FA, and then sleep in Sub.

rain folio
#

yay!

#

do scavs like egg?

hollow siren
#

Plan is to get to FA, grab the echo, then head to Outskirts again to make friends.

#

they do, they really do

rain folio
#

omelette :)

hollow siren
#

Then escape to sub. Probably sleep at the shelter just before sub and use a passage, and then from there I'm basically home free.

rain folio
#

if you ever want a yellow name and omelette role scaveyes

hollow siren
#

I intend to do the challenges after I beat inv here

#

Gonna be sad turning off my mods though xP

rain folio
#

some mods are okay! i can understand why you would wait first though leditoroverload

hollow siren
#

And that's aboslutely a crutch I know :P

rain folio
#

many challenges dont require you to throw a single spear monksilly

hollow siren
#

technically :P

hollow siren
#

OH ya, I also wanna finish my DMS skin before then :3

#

Do it as Tether~

#

I've done like...20%

hollow siren
hollow siren
#

Can you actually make it past this area?

#

I dont think I see the way.

#

I think you cant go from Sky islands to Farm arrays, only the other way.

rain folio
#

From left to right it appears to be possible
Form right to left probably not invfear

hollow siren
#

My thoughts too

#

Perhaps with 3 spears, lower spear to grab, and then 2 more to slide up, but looks like there's a grasper that might pull you off the starting spear.

#

But I"m just gonna passage back to outskirts instead I think.

hollow siren
#

There are several nightmare centipede rooms wth T.T

hollow siren
#

Well weekend is coming up, should be able to devote some more time to this again~

spark bay
#

@hollow siren i believe in u

hollow siren
hollow siren
#

Darn! Just shy of chieftan, over 60 pts of progress in one go

#

Next time I make it here an dback

hollow siren
#

The chieftan!

#

:D :D

#

Man I'm getting much better at evasion in a way I never had to do in other campaigns it feels, except saint, but tongue.

hollow siren
#

FARM ARRAYS


WTF there's worm grass everywhere including places it ought not be, that's not cool. Who let it run rampant?

On my way to the echo a fucking slugpup exploded and stunned me in wormgrass.

#

I was 2 rooms away from triggering it

#

Another score check in. Still in Outskirts so that I can starve cycle and lot lose access to the echo.

#

Almost at 1100 deaths

#

But progress towards hundo is being made

hollow siren
#

Got distracted sailing xP Will probably get back to this next week after MFF

hollow siren
#

God I fucking hate scavs

#

I've died 3 times in a row due to them clogging up the god damn pipes

#

Very cool

#

Pushing me into red lizards or worm grass

#

Woo managed to get to teh echo to trigger the flash

#

And now I have a gooey duck stored in a shelter that I can grab. Lets hope I make it back to safety in Outskirts

#

Then I have a damn good time ahead fo me :D

#

Died, but stole another gooey duck and stashe dit

#

At least I have a plan now, get gooey duck, stash it, go back to outskirts and then passage in

hollow siren
#

Fuck ya! Gooey duck and then outskirts shelter

hybrid prism
hollow siren
#

xP

hollow siren
#

So I did get the echo at least :3

#

But god farm arrays is awful

hollow siren
