Its genuinely impossible to make this jump without the long jumper but none spawn on the left side of this cliff so if you cross and die you just lose it and can't continute the game???

The gap is crossable, I can start with that

#

There are multiple methods, not just the long jumpers can assist

#

If you're absolutely positive there are none of those jumpers where you're coming from, you might seek out something that might give you more momentum

#

If you can think of something that might give you slightly more distance, I can leave you to it, but otherwise here's my hint/recommendation;
||throwing items will launch you farther during a jump||

torn jewel
#

the difference must be so small it doesn't matter

lime folio
#

It's a pretty small difference yeah

#

Makes the jump go from impossible to tight

#

(And tbh I absolutely despise this jump and avoid it)

#

Are you coming from the left side or the right side?

brave shale
#

There are no softlocks in RW

torn jewel
#

I guess using "passage" is a way to get out of any softlocking situation however

brave shale
#

There are no softlocks

torn jewel
#

if you keep saying that it doesn't make it any more true

brave shale
#

I have almost 1k hours in RW

#

I know what Im talking about monksilly

#

Youre using the term very loosely if you think being unable to make a jump with your current skill level counts as a softlock leditoroverload

torn jewel
#

That jump can't be made with your basic kit you need buffs

#

its lucky I found one in the last room

tidal wolf
#

There are always multiple ways for a given puzzle, some niche ones even require zero tools

somber relic
#

there are no softlocks

tidal wolf
#

And if you can't solve the way through a given room you can always turn around and take another route

#

The game is nonlinear

torn jewel
#

I don't care I just finished the game

#

I did it I beat my nemesis game

#

I beat it my own way

tidal wolf
#

You can beat it while skipping almost every region

somber relic
#

ooo nice!!

tidal wolf
#

Congrats saintblep

torn jewel
#

I spent too much time lost

somber relic
#

you were supposed to be lost, thats part of the intended experience

torn jewel
#

The shoreline is like King Von

tidal wolf
#

Skipping every region is less an optimal path and more a speedrun approach that removes most of the experience slugnom

somber relic

torn jewel
#

I think I got the rest of them

somber relic
#

your first game is meant to be.. not very optimal

torn jewel
#

there won't be another game

#

The first one was like getting skid marks over my whole body

tidal wolf
#

Anyway, awesome that you beat the first slugcat monksilly it's the tip of the iceberg and there are more slugcats which bring whole new stories, goals and environments to the table, but if you had a rough experience we'll understand if you don't continue lizgreengaming

#

BUT we will be really, really eager in the scenario that you did

torn jewel
#

I wanted to play hard mode when I first got the game but it didn't let me play the red one with no save files

tidal wolf
#

Hunter is more than a "hard mode"

torn jewel
#

All I know is that you can't eat plants anymore

#

you can only eat other animals

#

which is enough of a challenge

tidal wolf
#

The game also has two dlcs that add a truckload of material invwink

torn jewel
#

Oh hell no

#

the first game was enough of a punishment

#

it took me almost a full year to beat

tidal wolf
#

Hunting for prey can be cool hunterferal

torn jewel
#

I hate hunting I wanna be a bitch

tidal wolf
#

Combat is really fun when you get the hang of it monklaugh

torn jewel
#

I ran from EVERY encounter except the few mandatory tentacle monster kills you have to do in Shaded Citadel

#

That was pretty dope tho

tidal wolf
#

They too are not mandatory to kill but it is effective to

somber relic
#

if you hated this experience you probably shouldnt get the dlcsaintpensive

torn jewel
#

you would have to kill them to go thru the water

somber relic
#

both the dlcs are very good tho. if you like the game

tidal wolf
#

The downpour dlc sticks out for being Rainworld: The Game in vibe

#

It is more goal oriented and traditional gamey

#

And has a bit more linearity

torn jewel
#

oh yeah and the weird ass running people

#

Shaded Citadel and Overpass are the best part of the game and its not even close

torn jewel
tidal wolf
#

You bought the dlc?

torn jewel
#

but on the title screen it says Rain World Downpour

tidal wolf
#

I see.

#

[Just clearing for protocol n all] gourmthumbsup

torn jewel
#

? test

#

ok

tidal wolf
#

But yeah l guess you really don't like this game huh

#

Oh well

torn jewel
#

I could name places where it has shortfalls but that's not for me to say

#

I would like if it had more music however

tidal wolf
#

More music? rivhorror that's a new one lol

#

It's a pretty music based game with a jillion tracks

torn jewel
#

not actual melodic tracks

#

It would make the game a lot more fun if it had music

tidal wolf
#

One of the tracks has a saxophone solo

torn jewel
#

Which one is that, I hardly heard any of them since they only play once

#

I just think some music would help when so much of the gameplay is based on waiting

tidal wolf

torn jewel
#

it played during Hitlee's level (Sky Islands)

tidal wolf
#

Farm has, from my memory, 5 unique tracks, and the threat theme

#

Though ambient tracks have trigger conditions such as entering specific rooms, so missing em can happen

abstract helm
void shuttle
#

kavaya getting repetetive imo

#

dont judge,,,,

It always makes me so sad to see someone not enjoy Rain World 🥹

Like, it's a game that's designed in such a way that it's not fun for everyone, but... it's so peak if you are able to enjoy it

#

Nvm they left the server I think

somber relic
#

They have yes

#

Doesn't make sense for them to stay

languid lodge
#

Why?

somber relic
#

They didn't seem to like the game

languid lodge
#

~~ I mean they weren't exactly the nicest~~

languid lodge
somber relic
#

Everyone has their own interests, and there has never been a game in history that no one disliked

languid lodge
#

Yeah

languid lodge
somber relic
#

I know it's sad but it's perhaps for the best

languid lodge
#

That's why I now hate certain creatures

languid lodge
cold heron
#

I would say the action performed here is a spoiler-

languid lodge
#

But I am aware of this stuff, yaeh

somber relic
#

I don't consider movement a spoiler

cold heron
#

Yeah, but...

languid lodge
cold heron
#

No it's just because Downpour

languid lodge
#

Oh

#

Okay

#

I mean, you have a point

somber relic

languid lodge
