#First Downpour campaign as Gourmand the great
near tundraBOT
queen ravine
Good luck with Gourmie
long frigate
ok long story short im in the garbage wastes a figured out some crafting recipies
and then i combined a grenade w a karma flower and im very excited to see what i have
wait i ate it
im reseting to see what happens if i throw it
bc karma dont matter anymore
i drowned exploring
the thing i made is a bomb
i threw it at a vulture in the room above and i died
bc i was also in the blast range
i ate my bomb by accident and i killed a caramel lizard
not sure what the list of food above my hunger means
fathom crater
do you know what causes things to appear?
long frigate
havent payed much attention to it but eating the correct item makes another item appear like i did with the blue fruit and eating certain stuff makes them appear on my list like the egg bug
could definitely be wrong tho
I have a batfly on my list and eating one made a mushroom appear
i learned that garbage worms only yoink spears
wait i found the industrial gate
or maybe its somthing else now
the list tells me gourmand wants drugs
also why do so many things create grenades??
i swear i've made a million of them by now
why are there king vultures in industrial
fathom crater
maybe you are using ingredient(s) that are dangerous in nature
long frigate
u might be right
i keep making these dart things from bubble weed
its like a one time spear that turns into food
also grenade+rock=pearl which is a big waste of my grenade
dart thing appeared in my list
bruh i ate the drugs and now it wants a black lizard
ok rock plus karma flower equals grenade and adding another karma flower gives powerful sticky bomb
holy gourmand is such a power trip since i can one shot so many things
btw is this a real feature or a mod i downloaded?
stormy
i desperately want to grenade a king vulture
i got another sticky bomb i got this
at least one king vulture is dying this cycle
NO
I DIED
its fine i still have a grenade
i died again but this time i have a plan
to hoard grenades
long frigate
i have to take off their masks or else they js run away
my favorite room for killing vultures
i haven't encoutered any king vultures yet
king vultures are harder to kill than i thought
i used up all my stuff so im actually gonna explore now
oh my lord there are cyans
and a red lizard
long frigate
chat heres a theory
unpopped bubble weed can replace rocks in any recipe
also this thing idk what it does
but when i throw it
it turns into food
i tried throwing it underwater and it didnt do anything
ima try and throw it a lizard bc last time i was trying to save a scav and didnt see what happened
long frigate
its like a one time spear that turns into food
might be right but after throwing it at a lizard im not too sure
what made me say this in the first place is the sound it made when i threw it
also im trying to go here bc i don't remember this karma gate being in industrial
i have a bunch of echo sparkles bc im at 4 karma
not sure where the echo is tho
many scavs
im sad bc im leaving and i prob wont see them again
so sad im leaving through the gate now
i wonder where it leads thp
new region
i wonder if this is gourmand specific or not
also i saw salamanderinos
and the dart things
turns out they are lily pads
that dont go far in water
i think i can use them as rocks
but they make a spear sound effect when i pick them up
long frigate
could i do this?
idk
i kinda wanna try tho
also this place has red centipedes
on the surface
so i went down
hopefully i find black lizards for my little list
YES I FOUND SOME
i lowk died to take the screenshot bc i paused the game and 2 of them are literally overlapping w my slug
or not i somehow survived
i need rot for a lamp
wait thats so cool i didnt know little centipedes ate batflies
chat i kinda died trying to eat a black lizard
ok i ate a black lizard
is that a scavanger
please dont make me do this gourmand
i don't wanna eat scavs
tbh tho i don't think its a scav bc their think looks different
so i have NO idea what that is and the big eyes make me uncomfortable
also forgot to say but i learned the dart things glow
but not when u pick them up
even when u throw them back in water
i saw a red centipede fall through here and i almost got killed by a normal centipede
wait popped dart and rock make a lantern thats actually really useful
i pounced into it right before pausing by accident
i NEED to get up there
now i have to kill another black lizard
realising now that the dart plants dont really have a popped/unpopped state
ok now i know that the red centipedes were coming from the surface and this is connected to it
OH MYH LORD THE VULTURES CAN GO IN THE PIPES
THEY CAN GO IN THE BIGGER SECTIONS OF PIPE THAT THE POP SNAIL THINGS ARE IN RN
AND I ALMOST GOT SLIMED
well not there specifically but they could fit if spawned there
YESSIR FIRST SHELTER FAILURE
ik its not a good thing but i've known about it and always wanted to see it
oh wow the outside is really pouring
js climbed up this huge tower so i assume it leads to chimney canopy
also gourmand likes salamanders
bye bye pipeyards im going somewhere new
oh nvm it led to sky islands although im not sure why im surprised
white lizard murked me
and now i cant go to sky islands
and i died again
and again
so now im not going to sky islands im gonna explore pipe yards more
long frigate
bruh i distracted the red centipede blocking my way survived a vulture with a big centipede sacrifice AND very closely survived another vulture at the same time while in a pit by accidently climbing on its back and having it lift me over only to die to the vulture that took the centipede
im determined to through that romm with the red centipede
I NEED to know where it goes
it led to NOWHERE
long frigate
gourmand likes cyan lizard ig
long frigate
is that a scavanger
still have no idea what this is
long frigate
spear to the neck from the top of this room knocked it down and all i had to do was grab the spear and kill him
the spear to the neck was lowk brutal
i flinched when i hit him
fathom crater
i pounced into it right before pausing by accident
it looks naked
long frigate
its a red centiped flipped over lol
long frigate
spear to the neck from the top of this room knocked it down and all i had to do ...
lore accurate cave painting
vale path
i pounced into it right before pausing by accident
i would've cried
vale path
i dont care buh
i cant even make it to sky islands how am i gonna get downpour
im not planning on buying downpour til i beat survivor
(in 3 years😭)
long frigate
chat u don't even need to go there, theres always another path trust
vale path
there should be a mechanic where you just vomit all the food all over the opposition
😭
vale path
chat u don't even need to go there, theres always another path trust
fine
we calling later because ion wanna go there alone💔
long frigate
ok chat i was lowk eating ima do some chores so call after
vale path
ok unc
long frigate
chat sheltering with a scav
he lowk almost slimed me with a explosive spear tho
if i eat him no one will know
karmic forum
long frigate
if i eat him no one will know
it was not in fact a scavenger
long frigate
im like 100% sure this leads to subterranean filtration system
I learned this a long time ago never and said it but its super cool that the vulture's screeches are actually from it releasing air
long frigate
I have no idea what i made but i ate it
another one
idk what it does tho
kinda looks like an eggbug
kinda looks like it would release the bee things
i've seen scavs throw them i think
yeah i see bees flying around it
now i have a smoke egg thing
i really wanna kill the red centipede w this
ok lock in sky islands attempt 3
yessir i finally did it
im out of pipeyards
also gourmand likes flying centipedes
still trying to figure out what this is
bc its not a scav (I checked)
vale path
now i have a smoke egg thing
rotten egg
long frigate
long frigate
very tuff i got 3 passages
anything but the saint passage😭
oh so we can create life now????
i js used an explody plant and a drug mushroom to create a small centipede??
idk what the pilgrim is
but i met the sky islands echo
I saved a scavenger from a vulture w a grenade and spears but I don't think he's alive now (dynamic sleep screens)
long frigate
could i do this?
i tried this and it doesn't work
its fine i had a karma flower
i think im supposed to have a squidcada
i died but i have a karma flower so its ok
first time doing a downwards spear throw on a lizard
vale path
YEEEEOUCH
long frigate
chat heres the plan im gonna see if the map is lined up correctly by dropping down with a squidcada
most obvious pole plants ever also why has everything changed colour this happens every time i sleep in the one shelter in the image above
also i gave up on the plan as soon as i spotted a pipe that wasn't there when i played hunter
long frigate
long story short i met fp can someone please type in his dialogue pls?
He told me to go down and west somewhere to find that a gate to a new world will be open? but tbh im more interested in this gate than anything
vital wraith
Why's pebbles got rgb lighting
`. . .
Gluttonous beast, what brings you to my chamber? You are like no other messenger before you. Perhaps I have underestimated the ability for your kind to communicate my existence?
I may have been too rash in bestowing the mark of communication upon you. With the recent traffic through my structure however, I would hesitate to believe that you will be my last encounter with your kind.
You have the same problem as everyone else, from the microbes in the processing strata to me, who is, if you excuse me, godlike in comparison. We all want a way out. However, your particular...
. . .
rotundness,
might well imply how little you seem to care. A simple animal ignorantly accepting its existence.
I do not believe my intended purpose will be much help to you. I can however encourage you and your kind to leave my facility grounds.
Unfortunately, the same locks that were supposed to prevent creatures from getting in, will now prevent you from getting out. Perhaps this strategy was ill conceived after all.
Allow me to just...
Go west, through the underground tunnels at the outskirts of my territory. You will find the gate to the world outside of it now unlocked.
In return I ask that you encourage your community, through whatever method of communication you choose to employ, to also go west. Off into the wastes below, far away from me and my work.
Speaking of, on your way out please use the access shaft.`
long frigate
thank u so much for this
also the gate was still locked ):
but I reached X karma so very cool
oh and i thought it was this before but pilgrimage is now 100% based on how many echos u meet
either fp is talking about shaded citadel or a gourmand exclusive region
long frigate
I was gonna send a screenshot of what I was talking about but u MIGHT(only 100% sure) be right because all of my hunter leg/undergrowth map is gone bc of downpour which means somthing changed
long frigate
wait precipice is a region???
i always thought it was just that one overlook on that broken bridge with a shelter in the exterior that was somehow just super important lorewise ig but no its the gate to the region
ok but to be fair its downpour exclusive and its still just an overlook on a broken bridge js bigger
I hate how theres no rust on the poles
the region was so tiny but im not that surprised
already going back
fathom crater
Maybe it will be more noteworthy later 
fathom crater
boom!
vital wraith
West is Left
long frigate
im back in shaded citadel
i think i see a pattern here
pretty cool when theres no vultures
long frigate
found the shoreline gate
im going to shoreline for the first time
vulture dropwig
grabbed a jetfish and get slimed in the first 15 seconds
also jetfish are WAY bigger than i thought
where is this gate supposed to go and why is it flooded
i think it MIGHT be trying to tell me i still need my jetfish
Im in pipeyards??????
since when did it connect to shoreline???
holy connections i can just go from one end of the world to the other through pipeyards
its called the sump tunnel very cool
yeah im not exploring this place any more i found 2 shelters and the rest of pipeyard is nowhere in sight
yeah im not exploring this place any more i found 2 shelters and then got stuck bc no food
back to shoreline
sump tunnel isnt tuff
OH
OB
ITS A JETFISH
IT WANTS ME TO EAT A JETFISH
WHAT IS THSAT
it killed the jetfish in the water
i died
bc i couldnt go up
the little island thing
im not trying to go there until i find another shelter in shoreline
another gate which requires 5 karma to enter
amazing
why am i finding so many gates
this one goes to subterranian amazing
shoreline gotta be the most interesting region too
so many different kinds of rooms
theres so much water which I haven't interacted with at all
chat this is NOT shoreline
vital wraith
long frigate
i went back to shoreline bc im not ready to ascend
i need the slugpups
im lowk fried without a jetfish
im a vegan now
i think i found the garbage wastes gate??
yeah i don't even need to go through to know
it would be nice to know where the gate was all this time though since i was searching for it when i was in garbage wastes
long frigate
i forgot how much i hated white lizards
i think i found the way to lttm tho
im getting closer
even if i just went from 9 to 3 karma
1 karma*
i just hope that its also takes 1 karma to go through like with fp
unless submerged superstructure is gonna be like lttm's exterior and i need karma
long frigate
didnt know that this guy is different from the other aquatic lizards
very long tail
he gives 4 pips while normal ones give 3
maybe he's literally just the green lizard equivelent for water lizards?
also i think im getting better at swimming bc i just swam past a bunch of ocean leeches (scary blue ones) in one of the small rooms without getting grabbed for the first time
long frigate
YESSIR
we're getting somewhere
this shelter is so tuff
in the superstructure
the shelters being this close makes me uneasy
I finally met lttm and she talks about hunter
although when i played hunter i lowk js ascended and didn't help her
she read the pearl i grabbed from here
it was about silver straw or something and that she found a solution to something and then died
im gonna assume she found out about ascending?
pretty cool
not sure where to go next
ig i js do my food quest and try to find what fp was talking about when he says that i'll find the gate now open
not sure where the outskirts of his territory is
might literally be outskirts but idk
oh also i was planning to get a neuron glow from here but she said she wouldn't talk to me if I ate one of them😭
also I reached lttm on cycle 90
pretty cool
i need a sticky bomb for my food quest so i need to find a karma flower
this pretty cool but idk if this is a shelter that failed a long time ago or just a shelter that failed during my playthrough sometime and will become a normal shelter again
i dont think it will work anytime soon tho now that i look at it
also i've somehow yet to encounter one of those HUGE fish things
I finally found a karma flower and made sticky bomb but i couldn't eat it since i was full
ok it was NOT a sticky bomb so i reset my cycle
but tbh im prob js gonna eat it since i cant hold items and a jetfish at the same time
that means idk what this is
also i thought bubble fruit were bubble weed so i thought they gave me more breath when i popped them but i was very wrong
which i discovered js now
long frigate
I gave lttm the purple shoreline pearl and her own pearl
very cool
shoreline pearl js talks about how they need water and that her being built near fp was a bad decision
I need 1 more pearl
for scholar
im prob gonna go through garbage wastes
what the heck is down this room
theres big glowing yellow plants or somthn
i think its what i need for my food quest
I also need a jetfish
or i can swim down and pray those plants give me air
theres a shelter right next to me so im prob gonna do it without a jetfish
i died
I think i have JUST enough air to come back up
wait dying makes me lose some saint passage
or another passage idk
I have NO idea what this is or what it does
i think im very lucky to have found it bc it seems pretty rare
yep i did the food quest but it only gave me half a pip lol
now i need a snail
I kinda just want to grab a jetfish and go down as far as possible
im gonna do that
long frigate
what the heck is down here
im fried now that ik theres a path
I NEEEEEEEEED to get there
i'll never be able to sleep until i get there
nearly impossible without bubble weed tho
which i've somehow NEVER seen in shoreline
how does the breathe underwater plant not appear in the region with the most water??
i spent so long
getting a jetfish into my shelter
js for it to glitch out
are we fr
I just want a jetfish please
yes i did it
now i gotta go down
and into that pipe
WHY WAS A WATER CENTIPEDE WATING FOR ME???
ok i made it this time nothings there
bruh i drowned bc i paused the game and forgot to let myself breathe
this genuinely might be impossible
why are the water tunnels so long
and theres a water centipede lurking in the water too😭
vital wraith
Gourmand's not the best swimmer 
long frigate
is it ok to have watcher enabled? bc I NEED the background art
vital wraith
It's alright to as long as you don't post said art
Unlike downpour, watcher makes very few and negligible edits to previous campaigns
long frigate
alr thank you
fathom crater
js for it to glitch out
They are very prone to that, don’t set them down when sheltering or they go to backrooms
Maybe that area will bee important later 🐝
long frigate
ok
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG STORY
but
these shelters in outer expanse are SO COOL I didnt even realise they were shelters for a few cycles
but also
I cannot for the love of anything find my way to the end
long frigate
wait these leeches are built different
they gave me a heart attack bc they started DRAINING MY FOOD PIPS
I DIDNT KNOW THEY COULD DO THAT
IS IT JUST THE OUTER EXPANSE ONES OR CAN THEY ALL DO THAT AND JUST FELL OFF BEFORE IT HAPPENED??????
i just got lethal bit by a dropwig as gourmand
amazing
I got to the end
i saw it
"journeys end" (or somthng idk)
so i tried to screenshot it
and my game CRASHED
IM SO SAD
long frigate
i just got lethal bit by a dropwig as gourmand
i sent all the messages from here at 11:32 but it doesnt register bc i had to restart my laptop😭
also i did complete the food quest
YES
I MADE IT
ok theres still more to go
i thought it would end here lowk but i found a shelter
this is so peak
it feels WAY more exciting than the ascension ending
holy peak
wait i saw an npc slugcat?
but it disappeared
idk where it went
but what I also don't know it
whether or not i beat gourmand
i think a cutscene needs to appear
its complete
even thought there was a large time where i didnt document anything lol
time for artificer
