the ceiling bug in the room right before shoreline disappeared and now i dont think i can get enough food to even make it cycle 0 
i'll try eating a scavenger i suppose
or i guess i could give up my coloured pearl to get back into garbage wastes, im not going to be able to try what i wanted with it anyways
got blown up 
oh i can put the green thing in my mouth
short roost
huh? oh yeah
it works a little differently from the normal things in that you cant actually eat it
south crest
too bad i want to try giving both the pearl and the green thing to the blue robot, gotta keep it until i find out what happens
i like that the hunter starts with a coloured pearl though so i dont have to try and find one
short roost
ooh, are you going for the full pearl and greenie?
short roost
oh, well, most people throw it away on their hunter i mean
south crest
giving them to the robots is one of the ideas i have for what they might be able to do
and the green thing looks like the things in five pebbles and by the blue robot so i wanna try giving that to the robots too
wish i could find some easy food to just get to cycle 0 and see what happens 
i forget if starving passes the cycle or not so i'll try that maybe
ok it does but i still need to pass one more cycle
south crest
thats my goal
although if i do only have like 20 cycles to get an ending, im not too sure if i'll be able to bring both to shoreline and still make it to the depths
i dont even have enough map knowledge to beat the hunter campaign yet i think
i noticed that with 3 echoes the max karma has 3 lines, and since the five pebbles robot bumps you up to the X, i wonder if maybe a 4th echo would be able to replace the five pebbles robot as far as ending requirements go? i already have the communication square, so 
short roost
making it to just one thing can also be a good first step, esp. if youre doing hunter straight off your first survivor run
i think a lot of people recommend you leave hunter for later
south crest
i dont even have enough map knowledge to beat the hunter campaign yet i think <:...
the problem is the nearest echo that isnt just right there in farm arrays that i know of is all the way up in chimney canopy

i think a lot of people recommend you leave hunter for later
you don’t have to do that, it just takes patience
south crest
the new creature variants are very interesting
short roost
im not saying its the correct choice to do that, but just that hunter generally has a reputation for being tough
south crest
i think if i persevere and get over this hill now then i can have a really relaxing monk playthrough
south crest
i was expecting it to be difficult but it seems like the main difficulty comes from figuring out a route
some of the new enemies die pretty easily, they're just threatening if left alive
abstract spindle
Trial and error is the best way
hardy crypt
Hunter is not nearly the hardest campaign but it is a steep difficulty rise from surv so it can be pretty overwhelming sometimes. Some people do find it easier to come back later as some downpour campaigns slot in neatly in the rising ladder between surv-hunt. It is not necessary though and people had to make do without that privilege for like 6 years 
I legit finished monk in one afternoon 
abstract spindle
It’s genuinely not as hard as people make it out to be, if you have patience and a good attitude it’s very rewarding
short roost
well, besides difficulty i think the bigger problem is knowledge checks
hardy crypt
The crux of hunter is having a solid plan and navigational awareness
Everything else will be alright
south crest
wait
my scug brain is thinking 
what if i grab the echo near the outskirts exit in farm arrays, go up and get the sky islands one, then traverse sky islands to get to chimney canopy for that echo, and then from there i can just go backwards, get the 4th echo near the subterranean, and then i can just run straight to the depths maybe
short roost
you could try it out yea
hardy crypt
Solid, but what will become of your precious goods?
short roost
fuck em
hardy crypt
south crest
ooh if i have to bring the pearl and green thing to shoreline in the winning run.... that complicates things a bit
baby steps i suppose, and keep my eyes peeled for the echo symbol graffiti
hardy crypt
south crest
maybe i should do some more exploring on my survivor save
before anything else though i need to find out what happens at cycle 0 
hardy crypt
The good thing about a run that may be doomed, it is a good opportunity to explore or search or try out approaches that you won't have the time to in a winning run
south crest
true
one of the popcorn flowers randomly decided to refresh, time to find out what happens at cycle 0
first run's kills
interested to see how different they'll be compared to my final run's kills
short roost
tummy ache
south crest
goal for 2nd run is make a beeline straight to shoreline to see if the pearl and green thing can be given to the blue robot
hardy crypt
Congrats on Cardiac Arrest Ending
south crest
i didnt get to see if there was a special death, the rain came first and i couldnt see whatever happened when the screen went dark
south crest
i think break for now
i'll start my 2nd run later maybe, otherwise i'll wait til tomorrow
south crest
time for 2nd run 
i was thinking about how to route this, i wonder if it'd be better to go all the way through five pebbles instead of finding echoes
since then from shoreline i can go to the citadel and make my way to the leg
the hard part would be getting through the leg with enough karma to leave
south crest
i still dont know for sure whats up there if you come from the wall
if it is the depths things like i think it is, i wonder if having the communication square would be what triggers them to disappear?
hardy crypt
Them? Up on wall? 
A scary thought
Not a confirmation/denial of there being a blockade or not up there
south crest
hardy crypt
That'll be a job for your investigation 
south crest
going the reverse way would be much faster since i can just fall down through five pebbles and the leg instead of sleeping at each shelter
i'd have to bring a caterpillar up the wall though since i havent figured out any other easy way to get extra height up there
i suppose i can use this run to find out if anything's up there 
hardy crypt
Felpers have clearance to teach unintuitive mechanics if they are needed
Did you know you can spear into the ground? You may find it helpful on your travels
south crest
that would be easier than bringing a caterpillar with me 
i'd just have to figure out how to do it
hardy crypt
I or any other visiting felper will be happy to explain it if/when you ask, but it will be fun too to see if you can discover it yourself first 
south crest
i'll try and experiment a bit myself first
i might just bring a caterpillar with me anyways too climbing up the wall with one might be fun
could save my life on the way down through the leg too
i just realized i wouldnt have any hand space if i bring a caterpillar since i want to keep the green thing
hmmm im gonna see if i can figure out how to get a spear into the ground before i properly start a run
dont wanna make it all the way up the wall and then accidentally get every nearby spear stuck in a wall 
i just did it by accident i have no clue what made it work
short roost
also you can pick those up every time, unless they go off the map
south crest
ok i think i figured it out
the inputs are really uncomfortable though idk if im pressing an unnecessary key or not
south crest
now for the real 2nd run 
hardy crypt
the inputs are really uncomfortable though idk if im pressing an unnecessary key...
What are the inputs you do, to make sure
south crest
left > right + jump > hold down and right > throw at the right time
short roost
you just have to hold down in general
and the window for the down stab is pretty much all of the backflip so its not precise
south crest
i'll have to train myself to stop holding the arrow keys when backflipping i suppose
short roost
well i mean you can still do it i mean
south crest
good thing i can practice that once i get up the wall since it cant rain after a certain point
south crest
well i mean you can still do it i mean
it seemed like right arrow takes priority when it comes to throwing spears
south crest
ah
short roost
apparently a dogshit way to play rain world but still
also unmmmm dont forget there’s this cool game mode called sandbox
literally the practice button
south crest
oh right thats a thing that exists
hardy crypt
left > right + jump > hold down and right > throw at the right time
Yeah the "and right" is the unnecessary key there
hardy crypt
i need both hands to carry a flying bug
Have you ever heard of the wolf goat cabbage puzzle
south crest
the who in the whatnow
hardy crypt
A guy with a boat needs to take a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage across a river
He can't have 2 things together in the tiny boat that'll try eat one another
Wolf and goat, or goat and cabbage
south crest
ohh i think i might've heard of this before
south crest
i need to keep the pearl in there too though aaaaaaaa
i think i have an idea though
i need to bring a blue flying bug maybe though since the white ones just fly away immediately
green thing fell off screen
AND THEN A CYAN LIZARD COMES OUT OF NOWHERE OK 
those things are gonna be in every region arent they
just ate a scavenger 
south crest
getting into the sky islands this way is proving to be a bit of a roadblock 
im already not great at going through here normally but having to accommodate for the green thing means i have to spend more time here
im gonna take a break for now, i'll be back later for sure though
short roost
green thing fell off screen <:hunterbonk:772869858781560854>
if only you could walk on the very walkable-looking background girder…
oh yeah if thing falls rip
south crest
ok im gonna sacrifice a cycle to sleep in the shelter closer to the gaps that i have to get green thing across
ideally i think i can make it to the middle of sky islands in the first cycle but not until i get good at keeping the green thing
still cant quite figure out what orange lizards do
it kinda seems like they might have some sort of hivemind mechanic where if one gets mad at you it alerts the others to start chasing you? not too sure though because i've also had times where some orange lizards just sit and do nothing while one chases after me
hardy crypt
Have you ever seen one alone?
south crest
in the leg yeah
ok it has to be a hivemind thing one of them just appeared out of nowhere from a lizard tunnel like two seconds after i alerted another one
their tendril things all light up as soon as one gets mad
fickle umbra
south crest
i have a new plan to get both the pearl and green thing across the big gaps, except the cyan lizards on the other side keep coming out to stop me and sometimes the flying bugs just disappear 
ok so turns out you cant spit stuff out of your mouth while holding a flying bug
i hate these flying bugs they just fly upwards and never come back sometimes so if i take the time to throw the green thing across the gaps and then run back for a bug to get myself across they've all either been eaten by birds or gone up into the sky
i feel like i might go back to my original route
it'd be much more risky late into the run but at least i might be able to get rid of one or both of the gifts earlier by giving them to the blue robot
short roost
i hate these flying bugs they just fly upwards and never come back sometimes so ...
oh yea speaking of that
someone correct me if i’m wrong but i think there’s a bug with the squidcadas where they tend to fly offscreen rn
like theyll never come down
south crest
im gonna reset and go straight to shoreline instead of trying to go through five pebbles backwards
that way i can at least find out if i can even give stuff to the blue robot
short roost
i should actually doublecheck that again its been a second
south crest
south crest
wasnt really feeling it today but im gonna try and at least make it out of farm arrays
south crest
did not know this was gonna be here
will have to remember to grab a normal pearl for future attempts
stoic scaffold
vagrant iris
seems like it
south crest
One time i saw a scavenger that was completely purple, it almost looked like it was glowing because it looked so out of place
