So I'm in the sky islands and keep coming across these large gaps and was wondering if there's any way across?

There are tools within the region you can use to make them easier

vestal vine Dec 20, 2025, 12:29 AM

#

Also, please stick to one thread for a campaign monksilly

lapis anvil Dec 20, 2025, 12:30 AM

#

sorry and wdym by you snail?

vestal vine Dec 20, 2025, 12:30 AM

Just us messing around monksilly

We might be mods... but we can be silly too monksilly

My first playthrough and I'm both having fun and frustrated. [potential spoilers]

#

so can I just stick a spear in the wall and crouch leap for it?

#

(also I renamed the post so I can just ask all my questions here)

lapis anvil so can I just stick a spear in the wall and crouch leap for it?

If you think it's worth a shot huntersip

#

Doesn't hurt to experiment monksilly

lapis anvil Dec 20, 2025, 12:41 AM

#

I found out because I kinda looked it up but didn't know what they meant but now I know some creatures can be used for traversal

#

ig as long as they're not looking to kill me

lilac radish Dec 20, 2025, 3:59 AM

#

Rainworld is a very complex ecosystem, never assume things are out to kill you until you test it rivowo

#

Critters can be exploited to your benefit in myriad ways

lapis anvil Dec 20, 2025, 2:19 PM

#

ok so just press shift on everything if you don't know its aggression?

wooden plover Dec 20, 2025, 2:28 PM

#

If that’s what you wish to do

lapis anvil Dec 20, 2025, 10:56 PM

#

so I have a genuine question about controls I'm using the wiki to help and at the outposts I'm wondering how you give items since I have a pearl stored

#

nvm you just throw it. the wiki mentioned items worth a value so I thought that meant anything but I was always so afraid of throwing something constituting violence

wooden plover Dec 21, 2025, 5:18 AM

#

lapis anvil nvm you just throw it. the wiki mentioned items worth a value so I thought that ...

to drop it, hold down and press the grab button

#

this is important because if you throw things sometimes they wont realize it was from you

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 12:45 PM

#

Oh ok

#

So I was right to be scared but for the wrong reason?

wooden plover Dec 21, 2025, 12:52 PM

#

I think it’s appropriate to be scared of most things in the game monksilly

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 1:06 PM

#

Lmao true

#

Also can I have both tags documenting and help?

wooden plover Dec 21, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

yes!

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 1:31 PM

#

also yesterday I used the wiki maps to help me find a place called the shoreline and I found I think it was called ||Looks to the moon||

#

the thingies around it were consumable

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 1:48 PM

#

also I was a little peeved yesterday I was trying to use the saint ability because I know there's one gate I haven't been able to get through yet and went to the sky islands when it's in the chimney canopy

#

actually quick question would it be better to go through the sky islands or take the long way around with the farm arrays -> outskirts -> industrial complex -> chimney canopy?

#

like because I know the sky islands are dangerous and prone to death but the farm arrays aren't the kindest but better than sky island

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 2:10 PM

#

Where are you trying to reach?

#

Chimney?

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 2:14 PM

#

yeah

#

it's kind of annoying going through sky islands since the place I need to go through is housed to a bunch of yellow and orange lizards and I can't do the farm arrays thing anymore since I'm at the lowest karma

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 3:07 PM

#

I made it past the first half of sky islands from the farm arrays gate

#

and was able to hibernate

#

now I just need to make it to the sky island -> chimney canopy gate and hibernate there

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

cycle 82 is the winning cycle where I made it to the gate but with only 2 food pips so I need to find food

#

I did it finally I'm fully in the chimney canopy I've hibernated on the chimney canopy side

#

I've finally made it to the gate I wanted to and am in a place called ||the wall||

#

ok so I've encountered my first of something that's apparently called a dropwig and it wouldn't stop chasing me

#

this thing sucks

#

why is it so short I'm trying to hit it with a spear

#

there are also lizards in spots I'm trying to go now so I just die

#

and I got ate by a pole plant 😭

#

this one section of ||the wall|| is one I don't know how to get around since its infested with yellow lizards and I got lucky once to just get eaten by a pole plant

#

THIS DROPWIG IS SO SHORT AAAAAAAA XD

#

this time instead of trying to impale it I decided to juke it and it worked

#

now I have to get lucky and stealth my way past these yellow lizards

#

cool there's 2 pole plants there

#

imma crash out ngl

#

XD

#

I really wanna complete this climb but it's getting frustrating

#

and there's a bunch of white lizards after the yellow ones

#

is this climb possible on survivor?

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

Yes monksilly

#

Survivor was the original campaign on release, they wouldn't put a region if it wasn't possible to traverse

#

Feel free to turn back and find other trajectories if it's frustrating though

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

fair lmao

#

I made it to a hibernation spot so ig I'm continuing

#

huh? I saw this weird hexagonal tentacle creature thingy and now I have a karma symbol that looks like the on symbol on a light switch or smth

#

idk what this means lmao

#

and then I woke up back at the hibernation spot

#

and now its not there anymore

#

it seems like I found an I wanna say ancient city above the world

#

this is cool

#

weird but cool

#

wait I think I found my first clue to beating the game

#

wait do I have to do it with the X or is it just a lot of karma?

#

cycle 87 omw to ||the farm arrays||

#

My first playthrough and I'm both having fun and frustrated. [spoilers]

#

do I have to spoiler stuff if I marked the post with [spoilers]?

vestal vine Dec 21, 2025, 5:48 PM

#

Once you are inside of the thread you don't have to mark things as spoilers monksilly

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 5:48 PM

#

ah ok

#

so yeah the good thing about the wall is that I was able to speedrun going down XD

#

I think I'm close to beating the game since five pebbles gave me instructions on what to do

#

but now I have to get to the farm arrays which means going through the worst map in the game

#

sky islands

#

really wishing I had saved either survivor or saint

#

also what's going on? the chimney canopy is so mysterious and grey

#

died twice already XD once with a karma flower

#

also the squidcadas are acting slightly different. instead of surrounding and pestering me so I can grab one they're just keeping to themselves and sucking on flies

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 7:15 PM

#

do I lose the mark for potentially beating the game if I go to survivor?

#

I don't wanna climb the wall again

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

The mark you were given is permanent

#

You didn't die after the encounter, right?

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

I mean I stayed and got killed by five pebbles but it looks like i have the mark

#

I just don't have X karma atm

#

I have X with circle on bottom right

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

Yeah ok you'll want to save your progress after meeting him

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

well I mean I'm in the farm arrays I was just curious since I keep killing myself to reset the cycle if I can't catch a rain deer fast enough

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

slugpensive

#

Ah well, no problem

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 7:38 PM

#

cool just wanted to make sure

#

yeah I got the mark a few hours ago

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 7:39 PM

#

You can still beat the game, it just won't recognize you've met five pebbles lizwhiteshrug

#

Achievement's sake and all

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 7:39 PM

#

do I need to have X karma or just anything above survivor?

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 7:39 PM

#

You will understand when the time comes

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 8:07 PM

#

I'm now entering subterranean which is where I assume five pebbles wants me to go

#

and I've already died to worm grass

#

and to fall damage

#

great start

#

whelp found an alien thing like on the wall (not like five pebbles or looks to the moon)

#

I found a hibernation spot at least

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

dude subterranean sucks it has so many things that kill slugcat

#

I finally made it to a hibernation spot so I don't have to deal with everything from the start

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 8:53 PM

#

what does this mean?

#

also I'm having an issue with centipedes in subterranean and was wondering how you deal with them

#

this is the issue

#

I juked them lfg

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 8:56 PM

Avoid, kill, your choice monkcurious

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 9:08 PM

#

and what does the green lizard symbol in my rest area mean?

#

I am officially in the filtration system

#

hibernated

#

I'm using the wiki map to help guide me further just because this place is a confusing maze XD

#

now I am in the depths

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 9:41 PM

#

whatttt the hell!?

#

WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE!?

#

OH GOD ONE IS INTERESTED IN ME

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 9:56 PM

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 9:59 PM

I have ascended

#

took me 23 hours to beat the game and I bet there are multiple endings or smth

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 10:01 PM

lapis anvil took me 23 hours to beat the game and I bet there are multiple endings or smth

What there are is multiple campaigns monksilly huntereyebrow rivowo saintblep spearclose watchthis

#

gourmkek artiawkward

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:02 PM

#

I kinda wanna try beating this on monk

#

also I don't have the dlc so I don't have access to more slug cats

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

You have access to monk and hunter hunterglee

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

I meant other than those

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

Yeah l figured

#

If you play more we'll look forward to it rivapprove

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:04 PM

#

can I keep documenting in here or since it would technically be a 2nd playthrough nah?

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 10:04 PM

#

There's so much to find out about this world still

#

You can keep using this thread for as long as you wish and for any vanilla slugcat

#

You'd only have to make a different thread if you bought a dlc and play a dlc slugcat

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:06 PM

#

ye fair

#

also I looked at a reddit post and understand why I didn't get the journey

#

I died to 5 pebbles

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

lilac radish Achievement's sake and all

Told you that earlier

#

monkskinnyjeans

#

You have to save progress in a shelter for the game to preserve actions

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:08 PM

#

dang

#

also quick question about steam achievements do dlc achievements show even if you don't have them?

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 10:09 PM

#

I don't think so, no

#

Or maybe it does, I'll have a look rivclose

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:14 PM

#

so do I know the map because it saves through slugcats or does monk just know the lands that well?

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 10:14 PM

#

Vanilla rainworld has 21 achievements

vestal vine Dec 21, 2025, 10:14 PM

#

(Psst if you are gonna play a different campaign make sure to tag it)

vestal vine Dec 21, 2025, 10:15 PM

#

lapis anvil I have ascended

Congrats!

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:15 PM

#

do I just keep both or switch to just monk?

vestal vine Dec 21, 2025, 10:15 PM

#

If you are gonna switch on and off of Surv and Monk, tag both

#

If you are only gonna play Monk, tag it as Monk

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:16 PM

#

well I want to play as all 3 eventually

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 10:16 PM

#

I'd keep both as it is a demonstration that your thread will discuss story spoilers of both

vestal vine Dec 21, 2025, 10:16 PM

#

lapis anvil I have ascended

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:17 PM

#

also do maps transfer between scugs or does monk just know the lands

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 10:18 PM

#

Don't know the specifics of that unfortunately

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:20 PM

#

ah ok

#

yellow :3

#

I'm so used to the scug being white

lilac radish Dec 21, 2025, 10:22 PM

#

You can use monk to explore locations you didn't get to as surv rivapprove

#

A heads up

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 10:31 PM

#

ye fair

#

because I'm now better I have my first "the survivor" stack on monk in the outskirts

lapis anvil Dec 21, 2025, 11:00 PM

#

tho I think that's all for today

lapis anvil Dec 22, 2025, 2:00 AM

#

ngl next time I play I want to climb the wall first to get the permanent translation module or whatever

keen dune Dec 22, 2025, 4:04 PM

lilac radish Congrats on joining the 11%!

No way? Only 11% beat the game?

wooden plover Dec 22, 2025, 6:16 PM

#

keen dune No way? Only 11% beat the game?

it used to only be 10%

keen dune Dec 22, 2025, 6:18 PM

#

Wow that has to be like top 10 lowest completion rates

#

Top 5 even

vestal vine Dec 22, 2025, 6:24 PM

#

You'd be surprised how few games get played to completion

#

11% is a quite generous number compared to older games (like 1990-2000 games)

lapis anvil Dec 22, 2025, 11:41 PM

#

time for some late night rain world

lapis anvil Dec 23, 2025, 12:33 AM

#

so as monk when I pass a gate can I always pass by it now

lapis anvil Dec 23, 2025, 6:22 PM

#

time to get to 5 pebbles as monk because I have a warp to them

#

and this time imma save

lapis anvil Dec 23, 2025, 6:50 PM

#

does the game save if I access a memory instead of eating and hibernating?

#

or do I have to see 5P again?

#

I answered my question by seeing 5P again

#

it's not a save

#

oh you get "the journey" just by saving after talking to 5P

#

either that or it's because I beat the game once

lapis anvil Dec 24, 2025, 12:29 AM

#

the underhang looks impossible to access from the wall do I have to enter via the 5P memory place?

lilac radish Dec 24, 2025, 12:32 AM

#

There's a different entrance to the underhang

lapis anvil Dec 24, 2025, 12:37 AM

#

well there's 2. The normal way and the 5P room way

#

I'm guessing I have to enter through the 5P room way to get to the leg?

lilac radish Dec 24, 2025, 12:37 AM

#

Have you been to the leg before

lapis anvil Dec 24, 2025, 12:37 AM

#

no

lilac radish Dec 24, 2025, 12:38 AM

#

Then you don't know the other entrance

lapis anvil Dec 24, 2025, 12:38 AM

#

I'm trying to get to the memory crypts for the first time

lilac radish Dec 24, 2025, 12:38 AM

#

Mm, then you know* the other entrance monkblep

#

Why not enter via memory crypts first? For fun

#

And then up the leg

lapis anvil Dec 24, 2025, 12:39 AM

#

because that would mean I'd have to be shivering a bunch because I know where the other entrance is

#

and I hate it

lilac radish Dec 24, 2025, 12:39 AM

If you have arachnophobia there are mods to help

It’s not impossible, you just need some tools

lapis anvil Dec 24, 2025, 12:42 AM

#

lilac radish If you have arachnophobia there are mods to help

I have a fear of insects and spiders but like not in media I just get chills when it comes to media. It has to be infront of me for me to be genuinely scared

#

I kept dying to rain anyways I'm not fast enough in that place with how dark it is

#My first playthrough and I'm both having fun and frustrated. [spoilers]
