First thread on here but my last campaign

#

trying to cross the bridge to shoreline and it seems the only way to cross one of the rot patches is to backtrack to hydroponics and carry one of the wingbeetles all the way over to there while keeping it alive in which case i'm just going to go to chimney and check on pebbles

#

because those things will not survive for that long

#

there has to be some way to get across though i think because i feel like it'd be more drastically obvious that i can't cross that way if i really couldn't but i don't have enough space on the platform to do any tech

#

and anything else just doesn't make it

muted bronze Dec 23, 2025, 3:45 PM

#

i'd recommend just exploring elsewhere for now monksillymidsilly
||it isn't intended for you to cross that bridge, so don't worry about having to learn movement tech or bring a wingbeetle all that way||

glossy kayak Dec 23, 2025, 3:45 PM

#

fair i suppose

#

are those watcher spoilers behind the tag?

muted bronze Dec 23, 2025, 3:46 PM

#

just a more direct answer to the bridge segment

#

no spoilers though

glossy kayak Dec 23, 2025, 3:47 PM

#

ah ok

glossy kayak Dec 23, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

am i allowed to make another thread for my actual first playthrough?

nimble crow Dec 23, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

It's largely preferable to keep things to one thread

#

You can rename and retag the thread so as to rebrand it monksilly

glossy kayak Dec 23, 2025, 7:06 PM

#

went through the water area by throwing several rocks at the local flora

#

they liked it so much they decided to let me pass monksilly

#

in memory crypts

#

oh

#

the purple really doesn't want to let me go east

#

...and i dropped my lantern in it rivstare

#

time to get eaten by spiders

#

yeah

#

i'll probably check if i can go through chimney then

glossy kayak Dec 23, 2025, 7:17 PM

#

glossy kayak time to get eaten by spiders

just realized i had a flashbang in my stomach lmao

#

a little too late

glossy kayak Dec 23, 2025, 8:56 PM

#

some of the enemies seem a little more aggressive towards watcher than normal

#

or i could be making it up not sure

#

still have no clue what i'm in for other than there's a lot of purple rot in the east

#

this room's very chill compared to it for most of the msc slugcats

#

and chimney seems normal so far

#

i have a feeling things might start happening as soon as i get past the wall

glossy kayak Dec 23, 2025, 9:28 PM

#

uhh

#

the purple is only in the most incovenient of places rivstare

#

i think it just hates me

#

yall wouldn't know this but for my first few campaigns i thought the batroot (the plant that bats like) was actually a pole plant detector

#

it took over twelve bats swarming me when i eventually realized

#

this guy got walked right past and he didn't even notice

#

sleeping on the job

#

what the fuck

#

i don't think i'll be going to wall anytime soon

#

wait this is hydroponics

#

oh it just said hydroponics.

#

so im in a different universe now sick

#

there's an albino one of these guys! aww

#

Somehow Unspoiled Viewing (first playthrough)

#

industrial complex looks mostly unchanged

#

that's rot

#

that's rot under my shelter isn't it

#

what's going on

#

i'm in a horror movie i think

#

mmm rotberries

#

these trees too if that's what they are

#

there was one by me when i spawned

#

they're uninteractable as far as i can tell

#

rot room is the same though surprisingly

#

and another tree

#

this one and the one in the very first room look almost like the deer

glossy kayak Dec 23, 2025, 10:30 PM

#

glossy kayak this room's very chill compared to it for most of the msc slugcats

knew it

#

making my way to where the rot was in chimney again but i think i'll stop for now

tranquil fable Dec 23, 2025, 11:30 PM

#

glossy kayak mmm rotberries

i called them the same thing monkdevious

glossy kayak Dec 24, 2025, 3:32 PM

#

surely eating one won't hurt...

#

oh ok that's not bad

#

a little sour though

muted bronze Dec 24, 2025, 3:34 PM

#

yummy

glossy kayak Dec 24, 2025, 3:35 PM

#

about as yummy as one of the underwater green fruits apparently it still filled half a food pip

#

that makes sense i'd expect those to be quite sour too

#

it's normal now

#

not sure if that means anything or if it's just random

#

rot is very much still here

#

nothing up here though surprisingly

#

perhaps i should look for another echo

glossy kayak Dec 24, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

...why am i glowing

nimble crow Dec 24, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

Microplastics

glossy kayak Dec 24, 2025, 4:19 PM

#

well i don't need to find a lantern now

#

thanks weird echo

#

things are becoming significantly more purple

#

yup

#

if the gift is sending me back to hydroponics could i please have the receipt

#

ah

#

that's pretty useful

#

also what's interesting is that it's the same echo

#

they don't move around much typically

#

EW

#

purple popcorn...

#

that's it for today i think

#

(rotcorn)

glossy kayak Dec 27, 2025, 9:02 PM

#

still no more watcher yet slugwhy it'll be at least a couple more days unfortunately

glossy kayak Jan 5, 2026, 10:54 PM

#

happy new year

#

(for some reason i thought i had already finished rain world for a couple days)

#

back in nightmareland

#

what

#

it appears to be functionless black goop

glossy kayak Jan 6, 2026, 2:04 AM

#

saintstare

#

it's infected...

#

and more goop

#

i got stuck down here for a surprisingly long time

#

ok so i haven't used the invis much but i'm about to put it to the test

#

surely the scavs won't notice if i quietly slip through the toll

#

WAIT IT ACTUALLY WORKED

#

i was genuinely expecting them to hear or feel me wow

#

THIS WAS NOT PURPLE BEFORE I SLEPT

#

THE OTHER ONE WAS

#

IT SWITCHED

#

now my food is rotcorn...

#

i wonder what happens if i hold a squidcada while invisible slugsparkle

#

lemme try

#

...nothing slugwhy

#

oh...

#

...oh.

#

my path is long and winding rivstare

#

maybe the rot demands a sacrifice

#

yes surely this will work

#

spoiler: it didn't

#

don't worry i didn't actually think it would

#

this guy!

#

what's up, buddy?

#

it's telling me exactly how i'll die rivflabbergasted

#

i thought we were friends

#

portal

#

#

holy shit new karma

#

coral caves...

#

this has to be somewhere very far away then

#

or maybe a different universe or something

#

OH DO I NOT GET TO TALK TO MOON IN THIS NOOOO

#

slugwhy

#

maybe there'll be a new iterator though

#

i doubt it'll be any of the ones mentioned in downpour

#

wait it's so pretty

nimble crow Jan 6, 2026, 2:32 AM

#

I mean

glossy kayak Jan 6, 2026, 2:32 AM

#

waow

nimble crow Jan 6, 2026, 2:32 AM

#

Many downpour-shown iterators were a thing since vanilla monkblep

glossy kayak Jan 6, 2026, 2:33 AM

#

true

#

i feel like this is dealing with something else entirely though

nimble crow Jan 6, 2026, 2:33 AM

#

It'll remain to be seen where your journeys will lead watcherpopcorn

glossy kayak Jan 6, 2026, 2:34 AM

#

though it would be really funny if the echo just decided to send me to Chasing Wind for no reason

#

if this ever happens i can see the future

#

slugstare

#

huh

#

i can move it around in a circle

#

looks like there's going to be a lot of new regions

nimble crow Jan 6, 2026, 2:39 AM

#

BOOMERANG

#

his head is like a boomerang!

#

that's so awesome i love him

#

AAGH THOSE EGG THINGS ARE CREATURES

#

THEY'RE ALIVE

#

they probably have coral shells...

#

not eggs

#

lmao

#

THEY HAVE A SEA CUCUMBER

#

#

THERE'S A SEA CUCUMBER

#

I'M HOLDING ONE

#

...

#

i ate it slugwhy

#

I DIDN'T THINK I COULD

#

i'll try not to do it again if i don't have to

#

...brown???

#

hello my old nemesis

#

being brown seems really not good for me

#

maybe it was the sea cucumber

#

wait wait wait a minute

#

if it rains here

#

maybe we are near an iterator

#

exciting...

#

yeah it's near impossible to climb poles or swim while brown i think

#

i'll pay close attention this time so if i turn brown i'll sea what caused it

#

not sorry saintblep

#

HUH?????

#

IS THAT PURPLE VOID SPAWN????

#

i can't check it out my squidcada got eaten slugwhy

#

i'll be back slugsparkle

#

WAIT IW AS RIGHT

#

WHAT

#

THE IMPLICATIONS

#

i thought the screen was shaking a bit

#

it's a leviathan but it is just a normal leviathan

#

and the boomerang lizards just seems like pinks with the tongues of blues

#

hmm

#

wherever i am the ecosystem isn't that much different

#

rivstare

#

okayyyy

#

that's all for today folks

#

new place is very interesting so far

#

i'm going to like all the exploration i think

#

a bit glad to be out of "The Areas You Already Knew But More Purple And With Goop"

#

not going to lie

#

i do think it's possible that i'm somewhat near an iterator

#

especially with the whole rot stuff that's going on in this

#

all the rot in vanilla came from pebbles, so maybe the purple rot came from another iterator that got so out of control that it spread to where we started

#

but that's just theorizing

glossy kayak Jan 7, 2026, 2:17 AM

#

mind the gap

#

purple

#

lotta purple

#

something's definitely coming up

#

except i got sidetracked invwink

glossy kayak Jan 7, 2026, 3:00 AM

#

oh.

#

the purple found me i think

#

looks like another portal

#

it doesn't appear to be so

#

WAIT NEVERMIND IT'S TAKING ME

#

pillar grove...

#

seems like the regions here are going to be connected by these

#

and i'll probably get to use the circle map thing to go back to any old ones

#

it has the insoundly seal of approval so far saintunyoy

#

OH

#

i don't spawn there?

#

well let me check if the portal's still there

#

yup

#

ah

#

that's the first time in a long while that a pole plant got me

#

be honest

#

do you think that i can finish watcher this year rivstare

glossy kayak Jan 7, 2026, 11:45 PM

#

the SCREEN

#

this campaign is full of weird objects that don't do anything (positive)

#

wait you're not normally blue

eternal iris Jan 7, 2026, 11:52 PM

glossy kayak Jan 7, 2026, 11:53 PM

glossy kayak Jan 7, 2026, 11:53 PM

#

#

this guy with the yellow eyes

eternal iris Jan 7, 2026, 11:55 PM

#

#

glossy kayak Jan 7, 2026, 11:55 PM

#

oh ok

eternal iris Jan 7, 2026, 11:55 PM

#

The others are regular random spawns lol

glossy kayak Jan 7, 2026, 11:57 PM

#

i keep forgetting to pause the game slugwhy i got eaten

#

the invisible wore off

#

finally found the shelter 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉

#

ooh

#

just interacted with one of these and it spawned two more

#

(no more appeared)

#

new things!

#

not sure what they are yet they kinda look like tadpoles

#

DEER

#

WHAT

#

YES

#

THEY'RE MEAN

#

they hurt one of the lizards too

#

not that it made it any slower

#

oh that was fast

#

i definitely want to come back to all of these regions and interact with all the creatures

#

shrouded stacks

#

rfewbhewqiohj

#

theres a moth!!!

#

it's not aggressive!

#

words cannot explain how much i love this thing already

#

moth!!!

#

aaand its back to rain world as usual

#

i wonder if i can take the rain deer through the portal slugsparkle

#

come with me!!

#

it just disappeared

#

OH

#

it's ok... i'm not mad or anything...

#

they're still cool

glossy kayak Jan 9, 2026, 7:08 PM

#

ok this part's dark

#

they have radar??

#

time to investigate

#

it seems to affect the nearby creatures somehow

#

the circles pinged me and a moth

#

found a big shelter!

#

not sure if this karma flower will work here

#

there's a beetle here as well

glossy kayak Jan 9, 2026, 8:01 PM

#

these seem like a new type of elite scavenger

#

they're very aggressive

glossy kayak Jan 10, 2026, 10:45 PM

#

okay so it's currently hunting me every time i step out of the shelter

#

all i have are 2 rocks

#

made it out

#

the sounds here sound like communications

nimble crow Jan 10, 2026, 10:49 PM

#

Yeah they're kind of dicks

#

scavstare

glossy kayak Jan 10, 2026, 10:49 PM

#

gourmtired

#

these areas are so short

#

interesting

#

okay i went back through the portal accidentally

#

and it seems i have dimension sickness

#

it ignored me?

#

nimble crow Jan 10, 2026, 11:01 PM

#

glossy kayak these areas are so short

They're big areas slugnom it's your choice that you jump into the first portal you find

glossy kayak Jan 10, 2026, 11:02 PM

#

...ohhh there's multiple

#

yknow that makes sense

nimble crow Jan 10, 2026, 11:03 PM

#

They're the replacement for gates after all rivclose

glossy kayak Jan 10, 2026, 11:04 PM

#

if i see a portal there's no way i'm ignoring it though slugloafnyoom

nimble crow Jan 10, 2026, 11:05 PM

#

You'll get ample opportunity to revisit regions anyway invwink

glossy kayak Jan 10, 2026, 11:05 PM

#

#

aether ridge is not the name that popped up...

#

i'm going to guess it's like a "the exterior" thing

#

oh no is this going to be like the leg rivstare

#

it is slugstare

#

this green looks different!! right?!

#

OH

#

THIS LOOKS LIKE THE THING IN MOON IN THE ROOMS WITH THE SHELTERS

#

the acid is so bright!!

#

okay wait this area's actually really cool

#

...and i fell in the acid

#

ooh

#

hm

#

the portal didn't work

#

EVIL

#

there was a pole plant right here

glossy kayak Jan 11, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

blast deck

#

wow it's actually windy

#

and no cold meter this is awesome

#

yeah this region is probably my favorite so far

#

"Free them, they will show you the way"

#

they all went in different directions though?! maybe they all point to different portals

#

hopefully they'll actually work this time

#

face of an evil ass moth
this guy dragged me into the acid

#

i'm still on a single level of yellow karma btw i have no clue what's going on with that slugstare

#

the platforming is so good here i mean they knocked it out of the park with this one really

#

a lizard dragged me into a portal back to coral caves rivstare

#

oh what the fuckkk slugfear

#

DRILLS????

#

that's a whole pillar

#

the implications...

#

OH

#

game frozen... rivflabbergasted

#

is this a known bug? i went through the pipe while invisible if that matters

#

<@&1137895527271379055> how can i avoid this rivstare

#

this clouds in the background are still moving btw but everything else is frozen

#

OH IT'S RAINING

#

looks like always

#

OH I JUST GOT STRUCK BY LIGHTNING WHAT???

#

#

ok i think you lose some stamina if you use too many portals in a cycle

#

gang i don't think this one's happening

#

ooh moths are here

#

wait they're actually in jail

#

they're in colddd storageeee i get it

#

not sure who put them there tho

#

wait

#

chat i have an idea

#

i take the karma flower to one of those portals that won't open saintsmirk

#

it didn't work slugstare

#

OH SHIT I FOUND A BAD

#

do i dare investigate... (yes)

#

it evaded me

#

i couldn't find a shelter in time but the map is becoming clearer

#

and i'm back in shrouded stacks slugstare

#

it's ok i was planning to explore here more anyway

#

my map is this and then i know there's that desert area connected to migration path

#

oh and now i'm in a place with purple worm grass

#

"the surface"????

#

wait i actually have a cold meter!

#

wow

#

holy moly

#

this guy's so cool
