#Watcher 1.5 Gaming
1 messages Ā· Page 2 of 1
Oh hey there's a leviathan here 
Found and sealed Turbulent Pump -> Verdant Waterways
It's so depressing to suddenly move from a normal Verdant Waterways room to a rotted one 
WAIT A SECOND
I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING
I think
WHEN THE WEAVER HALO GLOWS, IT'S BECAUSE IT'S UNROTTING A ROOM
I noticed because the room I was in turned green again
AND NOW IT'S NOT CHANGING COLOR AND THE HALO'S GONE
PEAAAAAAAAAK
I don't even care that I just died
I'm assuming to de-rot a region you have to drain rot from every room, which sounds... 
Gonna stop there for now
Ok gonna play a bit more now
It's so satisfying to watch the rot drain away-
It probably would've taken waaaay longer for me to notice how it works if I hadn't gone to Verdant Waterways 
Y'know what's funny?
For a campaign so deeply based around rot
There has yet to be a single DLL/BLL/MLL
Verdant Waterways -> Signal Spires: sealed

(Just commenting on this here because I don't want to look in the Watcher Felper thread)
I suppose there's no fetch quests, per se
I mean
find quests
But... *vauge gesture at The Prince, The Weaver, and Spinning Top*
all of Rain World is a find quest
though the Watcher adds a layer on top of that with the spreading Decay
Yeah
The Weaver thing curing the rot is cool 
Though I'm definitely not gonna try curing all regions 
watchers gameplay loop all revolves around the portals in some way afaik
Because I'd assume you have to do each rotted room individually
its grindy stuff, but idk if it fits fetch quest exactly
Yeah
On my 1.0 playthrough I was super hostile to the Decay. So figuring out the Weaver thing could do that in 1.5 was lotsa fun 
huh thats a new name
"The Decay"... yeah no I'm still calling it Rot 
if its some super secret actually this was the real name all along
oops
also i thought it was corruption or something
Sorry all my names for Watcher mechanics were solidified into the wrong ones through the Journal 
wowa
This one is funny, pretty sure it's due to the heat vent in the previous room increasing the 'temperature' of watcher and then the flame reaching the pipe for a frame increasing it to a killing threshold
theres a few cool things you can inference by looking at the scug
Ye
Time for a little more Watching before I sleep
I don't like this room
It makes me think I can get up there
But it's just too high to reach
I've made it with float + grapple worm once... but that doesn't work with Ripplespace 
Died-
Wait a second...
I just died twice, I can just use Ripple 9-
Made it 
Dang it I died to a white lizard in Shattered Terrace-
Oh I found the boomerang arena unlock-
Dang it I died again-
Think Ima stop there for now, and keep going tomorrow
I hope I don't end up needing to seal every portal but I suspect I will 
I think that mechanic might have been better redone because the current implementation is quite...m tedious
Impossible!! It's signal spires
Ok I've been doing a poor job documenting, but this is a little disapointing...
I was hoping to see the Rot Void Worm again 
Wait the Weaver halo appears when I get close to Rot...
I'm not going to try testing that-
Awww it's so cute just one little guy š„¹
My theory is that it's preventing me from getting grabbed so I guess I should test that another cycle-
Excuse me what
Time to test I guess
Good news and bad news:
Good news: I didn't die/get grabbed
Bad news: the shelter still didn't work
Ok this is actually busted what-
Rot just doesn't-
I'm fully immune
Nice
Ok the rot just not having any collision is not convenient-
I died to Ripplespawn in Ripplespace because of that
It's so weird not having to treat Rot as a threat-
Wait that's actually kind of annoying-
Derotting rooms makes the karma flowers there disappear the next cycle
Ughhhhh I hate how the float isn't separate from the camo
BRO
I GOT STRUCK BY LIGHTNING IN STORMY COAST MID SWITCHING OUT OF RIPPLESPACE
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER EVEN DIED TO THE LIGHTNING

that is quite unlucky wow
I was just trying to grab some fruits
And because I was in Ripplespace I didn't even get the lightning indicator
I feel like I've had a lot of deaths fliipping between Ripplespace and reality, but most of those are to creatures I just didn't notice because the lights are so hard to notice
This one was completely not my fault
The rattlers ignoring me is nice
I have to say, sealing portals is... not too fun
janitor gaming
Why is that every time I exit Ripplespace due to Ripplespawn I get got by something that was directly on top of me-
it doesnt take too long though
Definitely feels longer because it's just... not engaging
It's not nearly as fun as exploring regions the first time
Ok that's enough for the night
I hope I don't have too much left before I get the Weaver ending...
Because this process just kinda feels boring and repetitive
that almost got me killed once too, good thing you noticed
Aha, but you see, I dove in after that screenshot and didn't die 
I'm excited to backread people's Watcher threads
Not going to until I get the last two endings
(Which is also when I'll let myself use the wiki again)
But there's gonna be a lot of threads to read through
Oh yeah... I wonder if the Watcher challenges are still spoilers 

Last time I asked, I was told they shouldn't be spoilers, but that the intended methods of completion to some of them would be
I think I somehow got out of bounds and now I have no idea where I am-
I should enable Dev Tools to get out of these situations, at this point, this is not the first time I've gotten out of bounds in Watcher
I know I'm not dead 'cause it lets me pause
I don't think I can see any other permanent warps on the map
Just the remaining, like, Outer Rim ones
most of the out of bounds isnt a softlock anyway
slugcat can wriggle through most terrain back into bounds, usually
The annoying thing is when you have no idea where out of bounds you are
Also thereās been a couple times where I wiggled into open space youāre not supposed to be able to get to
you can see yourself on the map
It wouldnāt let me open my map though 
that seems somewhat abnormal
(Thatās the first thing I tried)
if you cant open your map i would guess youre also not in a state to wriggle
welp
why the emoji is it a bad assumption
Yeah Iām just gonna keep Dev Tools in my back pocket
No, no
More of a āHuh, yeah, didnāt think of thatā
Let's have a Watch š
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
HELLO AGAIN
...
Erm, well that just happened
Woaaaaah
Oh ok
Woooooa
*Gasp*
Ooooo k
Outskirts :D
Where to next-!
Ok I was expecting like Farm Arrays or something, ok-
Also am I going crazy or is Watcher slightly smaller?
There's something funny to me about how the map still loads-

I have no idea where this is 
Bring your toys!!!!
Way ahead of you 
(Well, just the top, but still)
The Spinning Top, you might say
I want to say this is Outer Rim...? But it's not somewhere I've been, so...
What does the map say
If there was a popup I missed it-
Too busy getting screenshots and properly documenting-
Was there?
I'm too busy spamming your documentation with

YOU'RE ALIVE
He meowed
Rip top
Oh your toy?
I take it back-
I'm like 90% sure this is the same place as the intro cutscene but I'm too lazy to go check
Won't let me camo or anything, and the Weaver stuff's gone
Though I still have Ripple instead of Karma-
I'm morbidly curious what would happen if you died at any point in this sequence
Not gonna experiment myself, but it would be funny
Pwetty...


Uh
This is it
Uhhhhhhh

I want to say these look like the Daemon pillars...?

So did we just warp to a game other than Rain World now-?


U don't have to document everything the second it happens btw
There's heaps of videos of this
Oooooh
The speedrun timer is still going btw
Yeah but I want to-
OH

Oh the Watcher and Weaver stuff is back too-
Sry but I gtg I'd love to watch the rest but I have seen you see the peak
Let's have a watch
I'm being watched-
Huh, it does let me go into Ripplespace
I'm like 90% sure this is a different Depths layout than Vanilla/Downpour
finally i get to 
Welcome back.
In Vanilla this is the first place where the camera scrolls but that's very not true here-
EYYYYY THE GUYS, THE FELLAS, THE HOMIES
Not rotted 
I feel like they're moving differently-
There's particles in the Void Fluid that aren't normally there, I don't think-
That or it's just been a while
Looong
Oh
Oh nevermind, this is long
Don't tell me this is what I think it's about to be
You're kidding me
I thought Watcher was gonna turn into The Weaver or something
Is this...
Oh it's not even making me press anything anymore
???
It's not gonna go more???
Oh score screen gaming
Ok so
Oh nice it does let me continue
I was honestly expecting that it wouldn't-
Ok and it just puts me back in Daemon, before that ending, when I reload
So uhhhhh
Guess I'm done with Watcher now
Still have like
Congratulations.
Pearls and stuff to do
But uhh
Yeah
That's also every Watcher achievement, which is nice
So are the Watcher server challenges still spoilers? I'm still gonna go look at them, but I'm still curious
I'm satisfied with this as my unspoiled experience
Ok actually I don't feel like waiting for an answer and I have free will I'm just checking now-
Excuse me what
Kill a Blizzard Lizard with a flamethrower and survive the encounter.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN FLAMETHROWER??????
Oh wait I bet it's just the Heat Duct things-
That would make way more sense than an actual flamethrower weapon
can't trust anything after the secret rifle in MSC
The Mark of Communication is given by The Prince before the final ending of the Watcher campaign. With it, the Watcher can decipher the text, images, and audio of Pearls, which are otherwise incomprehensible when used with the Pearl reader in Ancient Urban.
OH
OH I SEE
PEARL HUNTING IS VERY ON THE MENU
Once this ability is obtained, a purple spiral is shown behind Watcher when hibernating. The spiral can be refilled by collecting around 50 Ripple Spawn Eggs[note 2], and is fully depleted each time a Ripple Egg Warp is performed. However, the spiral is refilled if Watcher dies before hibernating after warping, and the spiral is not depleted if the warp is cancelled, with the exception of the first warp triggered automatically after unlocking the ability, which does not fill the spiral if cancelled.```
WHAAAAAAAAT
Yeah I never would've explored Outer Rim enough to find this- 
Ok, I had a suspicion that there was one more Spinning Top location in Fractured Gateways, and I was right
I only found that region after getting the ending, but it let me keep Ripple 9 sometimes, so I was satisfied
Honestly gonna stop looking at the wiki (for now), there's still stuff I have yet to see
Still absolutely gonna allow myself to read Watcher threads now, though
I'm gonna sleep now and back read some threads tomorrow (probably)
YOU HAD A WATCH
huge congratulations bro
only very few players ever make it this far
0.6%, apparently
Though that number is even more inaccurate than the 11% who beat base game 
tbh watcher achievements had been bugged to not trigger for a while
actually idk
it mightve been console specific
oh, and they didnt have them at launch at all ig but, ending 4 wasnt there at launch either so
If by ālaunchā you mean pre-1.5, yeah, there werenāt achievements and the Weaver and True Ending stuff didnāt exist
I haven't had that - I got 2 of them when I booted into the game the afternoon after 1.5 release (the prince and spinning top)
On pc
Oh I also got the Spinning Top achievement a while ago, before I sat down and actually played 1.5
damn i would let yu read mine but porls n stuff idk
Iāll just stop reading if I see anyone about to read a pearl
Still wanna do those myself
(Or at least the ones Iāve found already)
Well yeah but Iāll be able to tell that youāre bringing pearls there-
uhhh im gona link #1358377076696154202
but be careful around porls
Join my thread #1356338640267116676 message
Watching the lizards propaganda
Oh I have a bunch of pearl readings in the thread tho
The pins has all the locations I have seen (most of them)
Yippee
the watcher family
WAIT THAT'S THE SAME SPARKS AS THE ENDING
Ok now to see how many pearls I am capable of bringing into Ancient Urban at once
I DIED TO THE RIPPLESPAWN SOMEHOW??? THEY WERE INVISIBLE

I wish there was a shortcut up here...
Gonna read all of these tomorrow, probably 
OH HEY
oh heck i think i forgot to post The Memeā¢
sorgyyy should have posted it after you beat it
Oh, can I get confirmation on a question?
Can you just leave pearls read by the pearl reader machine there and they won't despawn or anything?
Just a direct answer so I know whether to keep my pearls in the shelter or the reader room
Also yeah, on my own I never would've explored Outer Rim enough to find this, it was just the "Go to Throne" region in 1.0, and I didn't think to just... explore it more thoroughly, in 1.5
unless key item tracking doesnt work in watcher idk it should stay
Oh yeah that's just how Key Item Tracking works 
Yeah, of course
idk i got all the downpour pearls from the vanilla regions so.... 
I brought one Vanilla region pearl, I think, the blue one from Industrial
So those might be the only ones I can't get and I'll have to look 'em up
But hopefully every other pearl is accessible
hopefully
i personally dont trust key item tracking that much anyway
but like theres probably no difference in programming as far as like
game keeps track of items in shelters vs game keeps track of items in a room
Yeah that's why I asked if there's specifically something that keeps them there; pretty sure, like, bringing pearls to Pebbles as Arti, he keeps them in his chamber regardless of Key Item Tracking? so I wanted to know if there's something similar here
oh like that? i dont know if the game has any special animations or scripts for it or anything
i remember this meme omg
yes they can respawn in the reader room
with key item tracking ofc
i cant understand then wym 
It's more like: Without Key Item Tracking, pearls read by Five Pebbles as Ariticer are saved in his chamber, right?
Does the pearl reader do that too?
oh not sure then actually
i never turn off key item tracking remix setting so
Yeah me neither 
AAAAAAAAAA
Why does this jump have to be required for the pearl transporting 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I wish I'd brought a grapple worm with me now-
Gonna have to do that next time I bring pearls
At least I'm down to Ripple 9 8 so I don't go into Ripplespace
YOU'RE KIDDING MEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I hate this room
OK FINALLY MADE IT
I'm gonna go ahead and record these readings, will update afterwards I guess
Ok uploading the video to YouTube 'cause it's fairly long
My first readings of Watcher colored pearls
New iterator just dropped
Bell of Gesture
Who I'm going to guess is the Iterator pictured in one of the other pearls...?
I forget where I got either of them, so...
So here's all the pearls I just read
Lots of purple ones-
Ok
So now I have to find all the pearls I don't have yet 
I'm gonna use the interactive map to check which regions I get to have pearls
Uhhhhhh
I think my random warp broke-
Guess I'll quit out-
Wait why did this portal never get sealed???
Ok I'm pretty sure the pearls I don't have are in:
- Shrouded Stacks
- Stormy Coast
- Cold Storage
- Salination
- Torrid Desert
- Verdant Waterways
Hang on there's still one not accounted for, in that case (I have one more with me now, from Fetid Glen)
Break time 'cause I didn't eat
Brought the Fetid Glen and Verdant Waterways pearls to Ancient Urban, gonna read them after I eat
So that still leaves, minimum:
Shrouded StacksStormy CoastCold Storage- Salination
Torrid Desert
Ok Torrid Desert found
Brought those two pearls to Ancient Urban
Ok, think Ima stop there for the night
Still no idea what other pearl I'm missing-
Made it to Ancient Urban with the Stormy Coast and Cold Storage pearls, as well as another misc. pearl, before I stopped
thats why i never got it
Ok, if anyone can help me figure out which pearls I'm missing, that'd be great
There should still be one in Salination which I need...
(I should also note that I have... I think 2? misc pearls in this shelter, as well as the blue pearl from Industrial)
Maybe it's a question best directed to #watcher-spoilers, instead...
Watcher pearls are very purple pilled
Different people frequent the spoiler channels, so that might get a more informative response
Yeah...
Watcher in general is very purple 
Yeh
WHAT
Ok
This is by far the worst of this type of moment I have ever had
MID UP WARP
I GOT STRUCK BY STORMY COAST LIGHTNING
AND IT WAS A WARP FROM RIPPLESPACE
SO IT PHASED ME OUT OF RIPPLESPACE INTO THE LIGHTNING
This game sucks

...Also I just remembered that one of my Outer Rim warps leads to Salination...
So uh...
Guess I'll go there
Next time I play, that is
(Could be later tonight, IDK, but stopping for now)
Ok I've asked in #watcher-spoilers, hopefully someone there's able to help
Also pearl readings so far:
https://youtu.be/alDcAWbhcog
https://youtu.be/RomYKyOxU98
https://youtu.be/8jh00FvwApY
https://youtu.be/EDq0EyzVbVU
My first readings of Watcher colored pearls
My second readings of Watcher colored pearls
My third readings of Watcher colored pearls
My fourth readings of Watcher colored pearls

horrible luck
really that's impressively bad luck I think
there are 17 pearls in the washer
ive counted only 14, apart from misc pearls and the industrial complex pearl
i know im too late probably because this was almost 10 hours ago
Yeah this is what I'd already figured out, but thanks 
Yeah, and this is the second time I've gotten terrible luck like that
Oh I just realized I never advertised my modded thread in here:
