#first playthrough, Panzer

Use your ingame map to keep track of loose ends you haven't explored yet!
the thing is - i don't really understand the map
Reposted starting message
so like i am REALLY new to the game, and still cant get a hold of stuff here, most of the time i spent finding food and resting in shelters
Currently i am stuck at the garbage swamp on cycle 40 and have no clue where to go, or what to do because all locations are flooded with monsters
General advice i can think of is, be brave and kill things that are in your way, Or pounce over them - if u cant pounce over them then pelt a rock at them like a bully then try to run past them. Dont feel too bad about dying repeatedly in that area though, the terrain is horrible and the foods kinda scarce
I mean
there is such a thing as too much bravery
As long as you don't tunnel-vision on killing the things you'll be fine 
I'm hella scared to attack anyone
...and I'm horrible at the combat system here
Then don't 
If it was easy to kill your predators, they wouldn't be very good predators, now would they?
In other words... if you don't want to fight, you can try to find another solution
I mean
I hide
And run
Uhm
And then die to something stupid
I panic when I get chased
always keep a rock in your hand and use the enviroment to your advantage to escape
It's water
With leeches
Rock doesn't gelp
π
Then perhaps more advanced tactics will be needed 
Idk maybe
you should probably delete that
Like...?
if you are in a water area try wiggling left and right as you swim to go faster
I spam space
that drains your air very quickly try to avoid jumping while swimming
more importantly
the more traditional methods - yeah
it may be fast, but it is not energy-efficient
I'll take it in mind
big problem:
can't get past the rot on the no gravity level
their tentacles are unfairly positioned, making them impossible to dodge
first playthrough, Panzer
those rots literally drained all my karma
hai ! if you feel like youre not managing it in the UD, try to find other ways around !
zero gravity can be difficult to manage even hundreds of hours into the game, so minimising exposure can be pretty good !
but i have 0 clue where to go expect the path i usually take
+i have no food, therefore i cannot save
and i have to go pretty far
welelllell try backtracking to a safer territory maybe, tho it does take a lot of seconds for the map to reveal fully
owie, youll find maaany foods in opposite direction of rot!
i dont think i want to go back to the underhag
hmm now that youre here, try going up at the first crossroads
if you go back therell be a room with northern and eastern pipes, try going up !
trying out new pathways in rainworld is especially important, cause that way you can see which paths are easier for you !
the ONLY opposite path has one rot thingy
i just found out
and it moves
much better than walls coated in them :3 dont worry ! theres only a couple of them
five pebbles is a difficult region to traverse, so good luck and brace yourself its gonna be a wild ride
try up, maybe that path can be easier?
.
that's literally the path i lost all my karma at
aww hold on
hmhmhmm
if youre frustrated in this region, i can give you a hint that would make your playthrough a bit easier !
that would be nice
so you know how rainworld is veeerryyy big?
yeah
dont tell me i have to go back to another region
only to underhang, and then continue going left
dont worry, there wont be zero gravity there !
π₯Ή
you got thise !
@civic spoke where now?
you can explore a bit, this place doesnt have a lot of pathways, so its pretty linear, but the path out would be ||bottom left||
theres actually two more screens below this structure, so try going down :p
i found out
splendid !
NOO I DIED
rip
be proud of your death count ! the more you die, the more you learn from your mistakes
i died from falling off 5 times in a row
are you using blue tongue things? they can be useful!
hmm they arent really supposed to stick to poles, but to the ceilings !
but they do tho
yea buuutt its pretty inconsistent
@civic spoke is there a bunker on the right side? im tired of going all the way back
hmm show me your map so i know what youre talking about
ow okay ! youve maed it
i died
i died again
wheres your shelter btw?
ow ! theres actually another shelter hidden somewhere near the gate, you think you can find it ?
past the gate specifically
i died to these STUPID ORANGE lizards
@civic spoke hey umm... what do i do if this thing keeps camping me outside and climbs inside every cycle restart?
uhh uhh uhh get lucky π
...
im sorry ππ
I MANAGED TO GET THROUGH
@civic spoke the path you led me to is as equally hard if not harder
actually........
there is......
ANOTHER PATH!!!
rainworld is an unforgiving game though
personally i see beauty in that, but if you are struggling a lot, you could rethink your approach to situations!
first playthroughs of this game tend to be rough
how am i supposed to rethink camping and softlocks
well
actually i think there is one solution
so these weird blueish things are blind, but they orientate themselves on another sense... i wonder if you could use this knowledge to your advantage...
IT DOESNT REACT TO SOUND
AT ALL
there ARE particles but it has little to no effect
shucks
are you triggering the particles many times
i suppose you do
i think someone else might help you here
first playthough guiders please guide !!!
Hi

In your shoes l woulda stayed in five pebbles rather than leave
but take any route that you feel more confident in
We try to refrain from giving a lot of upfront information but a little late for that hm 
But, yes this enemy uses sound to track your movements
In open rooms try keeping running footsteps/jumping to a minimum, or you can distract them by making noise a distance away with a thrown object 
sorreys.. ... .....
No biggie
just for future reference
this community is so wholesome

<@&1356320725824307364>!!!! :
OH SHOOT WHOOOPS
I didn't mean to actually ping it
That was just meant to be a joke but it actually filled it in as the role-
For anyone called by that accidental ping, there wasn't actually any Downpour stuff, that was just an accident 
silly
me
thanks -andrew- ogscalium
imagine it's crossed
i forgor how to cross
oh wow ! youve made it there, congrats on that! what did you take?
what path ibmean
congratulations
thank ogscluim
The left one
I had to like
Die 5 times in the same place
Because I didn't make the jumps on those sphere thingys
Then I died 6 more times to the orange lizards
2 times died from a creature that leaps from the ceiling
but at leats its all behind now!
another challenge conquered
underhang can easily prove to be one of the hardest regions to traverse, as you saw yourself! props to you for completing the trial
No
aw shucks
I still have to get on top of the wall
Because the last death was from the swarm of white lizards
And my last save was
Uh
Down kinda
best of luck to you !
if you need anything, ill try to be helpful !
any way i can
ill also try not to backseat you
anymore
The only help I need is with dealing with the white lizards on top
I +- memorized the path except for the top
do you need a hint or do you feel like you can get through?
I can I just need some tips
Like how can I lure them out
So I could have a safe passage
well my first tip is that youve made a lot of progress as is, and in no time youll find ways to deal with the evil white lizrards
I know but
There's 3-4
In a small space
And I have no retreat routes
Falling down = death
hmm
minor tip: ||in rainworld, creatures are mostly equal||
can ya figure out what i mean?
what just
happened
???
i met a flying thing
that raised my karma to it's fullest and even beyond
where do i go i met that machine guy
Well, if you don't want to explore the other pipe that was in that room, it seems like you've otherwise reached a dead end
did anything interesting happen when you met the machine guy? 
idk
he told me about some farm and then returned to doing whatever he was doing
im now lost
i had the X karma but i died 2 times
i left the game
i dont wanna play anymore 
would you like me to send his dialogue here for you to look over?
no
i dont even know what farm arrays are
i never been there ever
am i supposed to go down the wall
go back to the underhang
or am i stupid and didnt notice a secret passage
or do i search for a pipe in pebble's room
you dont need to
He told you where to find em
Again, do you want us to send his dialogue
Ok fine
the pebbles dialologue
I believe that's the wrong dialogue-
its the survivir one
what did he mean
change the last box to
||Best of luck to you, little creature. I must resume my work.||
so quick question, based on your words previously, it could be thought that youre frustrated? do you want to continue getting these riddles or do you want a straightforward approach? please respond accordingly to your game enjoyment
i want something in-between
like
where do i go now?
I have two ways: back to the underhang
or to the chimney canopy
based SOLELY on this screenshot, best approach would be going west
so it means through chimney canopy
whatever is more comfortable to you :3 rainworld is an open world game, regions have many connections

Chimney my beloved 
there's a vulture camping me now
peak rainworld experience
should i fight it
well you certainly may try
punishment
NOT A GAIN BRUH
IM HANGING HERE AGAIN
my karma is going down............
is it important to keep that X karma ?
as always with karma in this game, you can always recover it by hibernaitng!
i know but is it important for the storyline?
@nimble kayak
?
answer thus question pleasd
If you would like a direct answer: ||you do not need to keep your current Karma at X, no||
thank you Dave
any which would bring you to safety ofc !
good job ! progress
The red roles primary purpose is to be eye-catching
Itβs not a big deal 
And apparently, according to clicking on the role, there's a grand total of... TWO people with the No Downpour Content role
Lmao
Yeah theyβre not really intended to be used to summon
Just ended up that way over time kinda
They opt into it knowing silly stuff happens
i fucking hate chimney canopy
oh wait nvm
they're now sky islands
i fucking hate sky islands
i have been summoned
i LOVE sky islands
why rivulet be looking so stupid ππ
for fun
hmm that doesnt seem like a question that needs answering, as you can see it for yourself!
no please
π
yes please
there's 2 on my way
explore
im scared of losing my karma and going ALL the way back to my shelter
I BOMBED MY WAY THROUGH
I DIED
I DIED
I DEID
fuck the centipedes
im near the end i gotta lock in
I GOTTA LOCK IN I GOT INTO A SHELTER
im unlocking this is too hard....
4 centipedes
3 grey headed lizards
2-3 hostile plants
i lowkey started hearing lizards and worm grass when i took off my headphones
should i rest or continue
take rests when you feel like you need it ofc
games should bring you happiness not exhaustion
idunno
@civic spoke how am i supposed to get to pebbles here?
@glacial plaza could you please help with this
nevermind!
I got it!
so uh you cant figure this out on your own so ill just...
you need to throw a spear down on that platform, a bit to the right where your standing. You might want to practice downthrowing for a bit before hand though....
to downthrow youll need to backflip, and while in the air stop pressing left or right, and only hold down, and then press throw
youd also want to stick a spear on the wall under the pipe when you manage to do that too
2 spears!
i did the downthrow
i thought i was softlocked here
YAY ENDING
Do I need to close this thread
nah you dont need to close it
Keep the thread open!!!!
Use it for your 2nd playthrough. And your 5th! And your 9 465 289 508 261st!!!
nuh uh uh!!!
if they like the game and buy downpour/watcher some say
day
theyll have to move to appropriate dlc channels
wrong, 14 billion survivor playthroughs
500 monk speedruns
i mean i will buy the DLC soon!
when i get money
splendid! glad you enjoyed the game enough to buy dlc
on monk the game feels so easy, and especially after i beat survivor's campaign
a lot more tolerable
oh gosh
oh deer
monk campaign finished!!!!
gah i cant see images my wifi stupid
comgaratulationswddels!!!
only hunter left
@lean totem is hunter's campaign closeable? i heard that his campaign is humanly impossible to finish without the dlcs
definitely not impossible
hunter isnt all that bad tbh
i mean
for me at least
but hey! whats stopping you from trying them out yourself!
red centipedes
spooky
pro tip dont die
im sorry
as always, rain world is an open world game
there are many solutions to situations
the worst that can happen to you is that you wont enjoy the campaign
but who knows maybe youll find it nice
yeah hunter is definitely achievable! but it might take some practice and planning
some people just move on to dlcs since they want to get more rain world practice first
you can always try hunter to see how it goes 
btw did i not spoil a lot about it?
your response was great and didn't have spoilers far as i can tell 
YAY thank you rat lady

Depends on what you're using it for, I suppose
What are you using it for, and for what reason? 
I removed spitter spiders,white and yellow lizards, and red centipedes
Hmmm... 
I use it to ease the gameplay at least a little
I would say that if you're not scared, in real life of the creatures, then you're objectively making the game easier on yourself
But if you want that as your experience, then go ahead; we can't stop you 
I would say it's better to try to just learn and adapt to the threats you're worried about, though
I can't I swear
There's these 4 lizards
2 jet black and 2 yellow on sky islands
I removed the yellow ones because it's impossible to get through them
Oh, which campaign are you in right now?
Hunter
Ah
Well, Hunter is a campaign INTENDED to be much harder
I would say that using a mod to make it easier removes the main point of it: overcoming that challenge
There's a recommendation to try and attempt Hunter, but not commit to beating it if you struggle too much, and move on to other things if you do
Ok I'll suffer through jt
I do
Also, if your logic is "it's impossible to get through them", then you would benefit a lot from trying to find a way to get through them, that could potentially even be applied to other situations
Well
Uh
I would recommend just moving on to Downpour if you're really struggling with Hunter 
I can't!
Like I said before, I can't allow myself to go on without completing the previous campaign

Simply is a thing I developed while playing games
Well
I suppose I must move on, and wish you good luck 
You will need if, if you are so determined
Thanks
And if you truly want to commit to this... my advice is to turn off this mod 

congrats1?11111/111!!1
Will I make it through white/jet black/yellow lizards though?
ofcousere! in due time

There is no correct order
If you're worried about like story/timeline order then l inform you that all the scugs as they show up in the menu select are in very random places in the chronology 
Also, you say you own downpour, is it disabled?
You'll need to disable it if you wanna use this thread 
Ohhhh I guess I'll disable it then
ya! its recommended to play pure vanilla on your first playthrough
@warm badger do i turn off MSC in the game itself?
@civic spoke do i have to go to lttm on hunter?
In the Remix tab of the main menu
I think itβs off by default, though
Also, to this: find out 
here i got to five pebbles 
@nimble kayak will 14 cycles be enough to get to moon and then ascend -
It very much depends
You could hypothetically do that in only a few cycles if you rush and skip shelters
But itβs unlikely that the route you take will even have 14 shelters on it anyway
But itβs not like it really matters how many cycles you take
I never said that
i got slimed by lightning???
even though the cycle didnt end??
FUCCK
NO
I ENDED UP ON TOP OF FP'S BUILDING AGAIN
i quit
You can do it in way less if you route well 
im already going through fp
to underhang'
If that suits you then sure
but i died to lightning
Shoulda slept 
the cycle indicator was full though???
It doesn't rain in pebbles now does it 
no..
underhang sucks
that's what im saying
did you go through the wall
i did that in one
epic bragging rights πππ
anyway !
14 cycles can be enough based on how you play! even if you start the campaign again, you eill have learned. alot about hubter!
sorry for saying that i was just a bit excited
you can do this!!1!!
Which way
lower part of the wall
youll find an extra pipe
thats all i will say
i see that colour role and i bow to thee
anyways tomorrow i'll have commitment /lie
am i supposed to go to the underhang??
NO... DONT TELL ME I HAVE TO GO TO THE CHIMNEY CANOPY
forget that i died
to a white lizard
im dropping this game after one death
im crying i think im losing interest
Like I said many times before, I really want to finish the game! But, I can't. I'm too miserable in this ecosystem
Nothing's wrong with taking a break
Even if it's just a day or two
Heck, tons of people drop the game and then come back after a year and it becomes their favorite 
(Though I doubt that's what you'd do)
I take breaks
But they don't help
I quit after the first death
Or the first three deaths
Yeah, if I drop the game for a year I'd probably forget about it
I CAN'T
(Like mentally I can't, my brain REALLY wants to play if I see even a single rain world clip)
Then don't see Rain World clips 
....
They're on my YouTube home page
Twitter homepage
Discord
How can I not see them
...Why are they there if you haven't finished the game 
Because
Uh
I love rain world
There's still so much to discover
And there's plenty of animations too
And I'm TRYING to without spoiling much
But
I die
A lot
For stupid reasons too

Without spoiling much? 
Yes...
Mmhmhmmhmfhdshy
I know about,.
Iterators
3 of them actually
The 4 others I don't know
Uhhh
I know about
Msc
Scugs
Yeah MAYBE I spoiled a bit too much for myself but I don't care
Sometimes what I do in Rain World is play even when I'm not enjoying myself
Because there's just a spot that's a huge struggle
But once you're past there you'll be very relieved
The whole game is a huge struggle
Ok well some are an ENORMOUS struggle. Happy? 
The whole game is a enormous struggle
Ok well some parts are harder than others. Happy now?
Can I become a slugcat and fall off the wall
Ok nvm I'll go sleep
Maybe I'll dream of rain world hold on
am i safe from the rain on top of the wall?
who knows..,
i am, but the rain goes on forever
so i cant wait for it to end
what's the point of the "no cycle" in specific locations
you still have it counting down to the end
well you see
theres a certain thing called
the passage of time
@undone bronze im sorry but the only pipe on the lower level of the wall leads to the underhang
and the other leads back to chimney canopy
do you need help?
yes
im in chimney canopy
and im surrounded by 5 vultures and 2-3 king vultures
I FELL OUT OF BOUNDS
farm arrays and then underground
i dont think ill make it to lttm
ow thats quite the predicament you find yourself in...,,.
but
rainwrld is a game full of hidden mechanics!
can you figure out?
no im gonna fucking DIE
aw shucks
backflips dont work
oh that thing doesnt have collision
YES
the big pillar has but the small one doesnt
nor the ground behind it
well this stinks
<@&1137895527271379055> what is one supposed to do in this situation π
i died
Why are you there? 
i fell down
chimney canopy
IM FIGHTING A KING VULTURE
i was so close to killing it but i lost my spear
and couldnt find a new one
it flew away
aw better luck next time
hot single vultures in my area
it doesnt comeback after i restarted
yummy white lizards though
i think im getting a nicer hold of the fighting system.
2 white lizards and 1 dropwig
whwerver you want to ofc!
i mean
i want to both get to lttm and ascend
is it even necessary to restart moon?
do you think you can do this?
ill just ascend then i HOPE my decision wont affect the other campaigns
the answer to that worry is ||it wont affect them :p||
productive cycle
ik
thats the only other way
you made it tho
gg
I'm not going to reanimate lttm
8 cycles left.
my X karma went down to the third symbol

already
7 cycles left.
6 cycles left.
5 cycles left.
echo reached
max karma
fall damage be damned
4 cycles left.
i think i pooped a little
almost got caught by a big centipede
3 cycles left
3 cycles left and youre where?
wait is this hunter
dang
Sadly your image appears to have Downpour stuff so I must remove it
Congratz on beating Hunter tho!
No wait
That mightve been my bad sorry-
I think I got my stuff mixed up sorry lol
igna are fr rn

crazy
wait can i see the img actually cause if it wasnt actually dp content it should just be fine here
if you dont wanna post in here cause of spoil concerns just pin gme in fp coord ig
huntah
Explodes you
you dont have to 
Thank you everyone who was with me
goodjob!!!
going to get downpour next? :D?
make a post in #1272670046434492426 :D
Done
you should probably delete this post now
what why?
?os
theres really no point in keeping it up
also no point in closing it
my survivor post still exists even though ive completed all dp campaigns already [excluding
]
We dont delete posts
They automatically close in several days of inactivity anyways
Its a historical record 
We never delete threads, people's adventures are there
(Does anyone else think that telling someone to delete their thread just sounds rude?
)
A little?
but it's just a misunderstanding
Ye
sometimes players will come back to their old posts to document things like Rain World Server Challenges or revisiting the vanilla campaigns to explore more 
really anything new to a player is fine to be documented in a first playthrough post, even post completion
Yeah, the only first playthrough thread I made for a first playthrough was my Watcher thread 
also do be careful making comments like this
i don't think lemon meant any harm or has a lot of experience with the way first playthrough stuff works just yet, and it can be discouraging to interact or make mistakes when talked about negatively
Yeah, that makes sense, won't happen again 
(I hope)
you hope? π₯Ή
wow
wow? π₯Ή
what's all the fuzz about?
