Reposted starting message

hello people! i am quite the new player and im on my first playthrough with the base game(survivor). I just met the green guy, i think his name is 5 pebble, and i wanted to backtrack down to see the nice blue lady but he blocked my path and i had to go up, and i dont want to anger him too much , so i went around but now im stuck in a room because theres a jump i cant see how to get past, am i missing something?

analog brook
#

help clearing a jump in [spoiler]

placid elm
#

thx for the admin help brother

analog brook
#

saintunyoy also dont worry we are doing this to keep the forum spoiler free on titles and starting messages

#

btw, we recommend to not use online maps or anything like that because they can spoil you

placid elm
#

the wiki is very clear about this, its just that the map help a LOT

analog brook
#

maybe use map very very rarely as a last call, but you can also ping first playthrough helpers to help you out with hints (though please use the ping rarely, maybe once per hours or such RivThink)

#

either way, i recommend experimenting with items you have around

placid elm
#

ive been at it for the past hour, but green guy stopped me from getting my grappling with his gravity magic

#

he has a friend now at least

#

i wonder if hes gonna give him the brain cube too

analog brook
tranquil delta
#

oh sorry didn't read up

#

OK

placid elm
tranquil delta
#

oh I see

placid elm
#

at least he didnt kill me like the guys in the big temple

tranquil delta
#

you had a grub and lost it

tranquil delta
subtle mason
#

it’s effectively a one-way like this yea

tranquil delta
#

Why are you trying to get to the area on the right, exactly? Is that how you got here originally?

placid elm
subtle mason
#

you can still go to the blue lady btw

placid elm
#

im trying toi get back to her

subtle mason
#

but you might have to take a roundabout to do it

placid elm
#

i have a fly she wanted

tranquil delta
#

right

subtle mason
#

or hope you stumble upon another grub

placid elm
tranquil delta
#

yeah, my recommendation is to either find another grub / other useful tool

#

or look for another way to get back

terse oyster
#

this has no impact on your playthrough dw

placid elm
#

camouflage lizard

terse oyster
#

ok that makes sense

tranquil delta
#

ah yeah they're pink

placid elm
#

EVIL

tranquil delta
#

not green

terse oyster
#

the green guy is pink/orange

placid elm
#

o

#

alr

#

thx for the quick answer tho, your amazing

#

for a game thats like 10 years old theres a lot of active members

#

thats really cool

terse oyster
#

most of the activity in this server came in 2023 from a DLC

#

more than half of the members have joined since then

tranquil delta
#

Though I've been a fan for years monksilly

placid elm
#

alr, ill start trecking back now

#

plenty of life level (karma?) to lose

#

now that i have 10

subtle mason
#

good luck saintblep

tranquil delta
#

we like watching people discover the game slugsparkle

placid elm
#

is there a channel where i can like tell my story?

tranquil delta
#

here is fine

placid elm
#

ive hand QUITE the run*

subtle mason
#

this channel

sleek swallow
#

I wish more discord servers had first playthrough channels...

sleek swallow
subtle mason
#

tldr these forums double as a way to document the game as well as ask for help

#

you can add a “just documenting” tag to the thread

placid elm
#

this is the best commu ever wtf

subtle mason
#

and change the title ig since its not relevant anymore

tranquil delta
#

this is the only thread where you can't spoil anyone or (within the rules) be spoiled

#

so you can do whatever with it

placid elm
#

do i make a new thread then?

terse oyster
#

nah just keep this one

tranquil delta
#

... I think the consensus right now is that it's better to keep stuff in one thread

placid elm
#

make sense

terse oyster
#

yeah for a while we were more lax about it but people started making a thread for every individual question and it started to drown stuff out

placid elm
#

i can see how that can be annoying, ill tell my story here then

analog brook
#

multiple posts with one question usually are also flooding the forum channels... i think?

tranquil delta
placid elm
#

The story of my first playthrough, quite the tale! [spoiler]

#

First part: the long ago past

2 years ago I bought this game and played it for like 5 hours, I think I got lost and I went up, up where the flys are as numerous as the falls. I think I just wanted to go up, and when I found nothing at the top I was like: wait and I just stopped cause the game was quite frustrating
in my canon thats like the past of my slugcat before he fell and his family left him behind to be eaten by everything cause holy damn this rain world is HOSTILE

subtle mason
#

wait what kinda flies were they? hunterthinking

sleek swallow
#

Ah, the classic "drop the game and then return after a year or more" monksilly

tranquil delta
#

maybe that's why the community is so active now

#

they all dropped the game for a year so it started late

#

(this is a joke, it definitely has more to do with the DLCs)

subtle mason
#

well there was that period of time where the game was super buggy, even vanilla

#

but its all mostly ironed out by now

#

so rn its a pretty good time to try again is what i wanna say

tranquil delta
#

mostly gourmtired

#

(the remaining bugs are non-major though)

placid elm
#

Second part: the first awakening

1 week ago I saw a video of a guy doing a playthrough of a slugcat called inv, and it was WILD, and altough I don’t want to ge do that cause MAN this game is hard enough, the play was heavely cutted and I know there wasnt a lot of spoilers cause im lost all the time so yea

SO I decide to boot the game once more, and I delete my old save to make a new one, a fresh start.
Death, death, death, and getting lost.
I flee and fall down, down into the hearth and the conduits of hell, and I keep dying to lizard, plants, cavemen, land bird, sky bird, leeches, plants(wtf), also funny mushroom, then I find the train and go under it

Then it was LITTERAL HELL, cause blocked by land birds I must go down, down into the conduit where its dark and the lizards are invisible, so I navigate using the in game map to see what conduits im in. this map killed me 7 times because of lizard.

After MANY, MAAAAANY death to those evil lizards and like 7 hours of this, one of the cavemen drop a lantern and I manage to save with it. my only friend.

With the lantern I can go down easier, and I keep dying but less! Filled with the determination of my new ally , I go so far that I fall in a BIG hole, then I find the big temple

subtle mason
#

uhoh saintblep

placid elm
#

Third part: the big temple

SO I cannot go up anymore, the rain is after me so I continue in search of food and shelter, and I find the X, wich now that I think about it is the mark that not green but pink guy gave me.
So the temple is IMMENSE, and im surprised when the rain DOESNT kill me for some reason, so best place ever for now.

Anyway I treck for a wile in the big temple then I meet actual cthullu and he ignores me, a few more trecks and I find a whole bunch of chtullus, these ones throw me around 5 times so I back down, but now im stuck cause no exit. After an hour I decide to end it, I throw 5 spears at the 1 wthullu and he fuses me with the wall, then I see that I have something called a passage

#

4th part: the third beginning:
Tired of lizard hell and bird devils, I decide to use the passage to get back in the tutorial area, determine to not get lost, and using the experience of hell, my survival is way better, I feel like a superhero compared to before(i die only like 10 times per pannel now instead of 50), and I follow the green eye, this guide is awsome! Cant believe I lost it 2 times before :(, he show me where my friends are!
So I follow him, go up and meet the cavemen, who like pearls and lances, so werepals now.
After dodging evil brids and leeches(I HATE LEECHES), I end up in ‘the shoreline, where I swim and swimand plenty of food is nice.
I HATE LEECHES
then I keep following the guide and I cross the ocean with weird dolphinoctopus things, and I get stuck in a big room with THE CUBE before using 3 lances to clear a wall jump(this took 3 hours)

then I find nice blue lady! She looks cool, and she talks in a language i don’t know, and for a while I am angry, I went through hell for more than 20 hours, swim and climb and DIE DIE DIE so much only to just find a blue lady that just LOOKs AT ME
WHY AM I HERE BLUE LADY
o well at least shes not trying to kill me like all the other things in this game
so I leave, and then the guide appears! He show me an arrow that looks like the lightbulbs around the blue lady, so maybe the guide IS the blue lady, and she needs me to get more.

Now filled with the determination of a quest, I go back through THE LEECHES AGAIN

Past the ocean, the giant bridges and the cavemen , through the evil vines of the swamp(omg these things) I finally find THE WALL

placid elm
#

5th part: the wall

The wall is evil.
I hate the wall
I die on hunger in the shelter while fleeing the rain when I arrive in the wall
I CAN DIE OF HUNGER WHAT
wall is hate, lizards are camouflage and im colorblind, putting the volume all the way up gives a bit of time to react but still, I fall a lot
after many hours I reach the funny grapple grubs, GAME CHANGER
I AM NO LONGER BOUND BY GRAVITY(yes I am but less)

I fly directly into the evil tentacle balls
I hate these things

so after a long time I find an area thats actually really nice! Plenty of food and a gate with the n°6 symbol.
I die a lot so im at 1.
its actually only 2 hours later that I manage to survive in this nice area! My first lizard kill is here. I am proud of this, he took SO MANY LANCES but I had to defend my life points, I fought like a lion, cornered but not out, I would not flee anymore.

After this kill, after all of this, I open the door THE MACHINE

tranquil delta
placid elm
#

6th part: the machine

I AM NO LONGER BOUND BY GRAVITY. O NO

this place is weird, I CLERALY am in machine brain, and I find the object of my quest.
BE PROUD, BLUE LADY
I eat it
O NO
its fine theres more
I eat so much I store one?! Amazing, that will be WAY easier to get back with 2 hands. She only needs 1 right?
I fly through hairy neurons, MORE TENTACLE BLOBS o and now even the wall kills you, but luckuly I can swin my my tail is I MOSTLY don’t get stuck, also NO RAIN OMG I LOVE NOT BEING FORCED TO RUN 24/7

I travel through the evil ZAPPERS, I don’t die a single time to them! Very proud of that, slow and steady baby!

Then I find the MOTHERBRAIN, im scared irl, this games art is BEAUTIFULL
I find god?
A godmachine at least, similar to blue lady, he scans my brain and is a bitter asshole, he don’t like dying, yea bro go outside youll see how you like it.

Anyway he gives me THE X and says fuck off, NO MY GRUB LET ME GET MY GRUB BACK YOU NOOO

I lost the grub, but I have stolen one of his fly inmy mouth!mission impossible music

AHAH, GET LOST MACHINEGOD, I AM SNEAK

I found another god, actual this one, he tells me that I have a great mark and hes jealous, ok?! Then I fall asleep, and I look at my map: I must go back to blue lady.
Wait, im stuck.
This is where I am now

#

alr story is over for now

analog brook
tranquil delta
placid elm
#

omg wait

#

I CAN UNDERSTAND BLUE LADY NOW

#

maybe pink guy is usefull after all

#

gotta get to her tho

sleek swallow
#

Oh, would you like me to grab the copy paste of either dialogue you got?

#

So you can... analyze it more, or look back on it in the future

placid elm
#

sure?

#

dialogue with who?

#

i only talk to god and pink guy

sleek swallow
#

Monologue would be a more accurate term, I suppose lizblueblep

sleek swallow
#

So shall I fetch the dialogue monologues?

placid elm
#

yea!

#

thats be nice

#

thx you guys are very nice

#

HUGH

subtle mason
#

lizard ball pit saintblep

#

well its not a ball pit exactly but, like, its a ball

sleek swallow
#

...is this reaching you?

A little animal, on the floor of my chamber. I think I know what you are looking for.

You're stuck in a cycle, a repeating pattern. You want a way out.

Know that this does not make you special - every living thing shares that same frustration. From the microbes in the processing strata to me, who am, if you excuse me, godlike in comparison.

The good news first. In a way, I am what you are searching for. Me and my kind have as our purpose to solve that very oscillating claustrophobia in the chests of you and countless others. A strange charity - you the unknowing recipient, I the reluctant gift. The noble benefactors? Gone.

The bad news is that no definitive solution has been found. And every moment the equipment erodes to a new state of decay. I can't help you collectively, or individually. I can't even help myself.

For you though, there is another way. The old path. Go to the west past the Farm Arrays, and then down into the earth where the land fissures, as deep as you can reach, where the ancients built their temples and danced their silly rituals. The mark I gave you will let you through.

Not that it solves anyone's problem but yours.

At the end of time none of this will matter I suppose, but it would be nice if you took another way out. One free of... frolicking in my memory arrays. There is a perfectly good access shaft right here.```
#

And funky god fella:

#

Your attunement has become... much closer to ours.

The mark you received is an unimaginable gift.

The struggle, the cycles...

It can all fade, like a morning mist beneath the glory of the sun.

We found a way.```
placid elm
placid elm
#

ok

#

why hes here tho

#

strange

#

dont answer that people

sleek swallow
#

Don't worry, speculation is very obviously a rhetorical question monksilly

tranquil delta
sleek swallow
#

We'll never answer those for you

tranquil delta
#

(hopefully at least)

subtle mason
#

presumably people sometimes come by and try

tranquil delta
#

most of us are trained in the art of never saying anything actually useful unless specifically requested to do so

subtle mason
#

but the general goto is to always err on the side of dont spoil dont backseat

placid elm
#

thx

#

i hope i am amusing you

topaz folio
#

yeah we love watching first playthroughs monksilly

placid elm
#

i am now in chimney canopee

#

its high

sleek swallow
#

Chimney my beloved slugheart

placid elm
#

i despise gravity

#

maybe pink guy has a point

#

O NO BIRDS

#

OMG ITS THE PLACE I ABDANDONNED MY VERY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH

#

iknow theres nothing at the top now

#

no longer like a moth to the flame i will go

subtle mason
#

ok i was wondering if you were here or no saintblep

placid elm
#

OMG CAVEMEN

#

my homes

#

they clear the way for me im going SO FAST

#

THEY KILLED NOT GREEN EYE

#

NOOO

#

my guide

#

so like blue lady is blind now

#

🙁

topaz folio
#

betrayal 🥹

placid elm
#

man i progressed SO FAST with them

#

ima already at another gate, i didnt even die!

#

i LOVE this guys

#

we killed like 8 pink lizards

#

fuck em im with a crew now, they even slept with me in the bunker

#

HECK YEA ive already been here

#

i can redo the whole trip to blue lady now!

#

i hope ill do better cause i dont wanne take another 20 hours

#

HOLD ON

#

pink guy wants me to go to the temple with X life point?!

#

through lizard hell without dying omg

placid elm
#

omg i think my skills are like 100x better now, cause i am FLYING through the map

#

man i was SO SLOW

#

i just cleared 2 entire regions in 1h

#

its amazing

#

do i get like a buff with the X mark?

#

or beccause i glow now(whats up with that)

tranquil delta
#

You know how the game works now slugsparkle

#

you have learned to survive

#

you have the Knowledge

sleek swallow
#

Knowledge is all the buff you need monksilly

placid elm
#

thats like night and day

#

i cant believe

#

i am so happy about this

tranquil delta
#

this is why we're so careful about spoilers here

#

just knowing how the world works gives you a huge advantage

sleek swallow
#

"Knowledge is power" has never been more true a saying than in Rain World monksilly

terse oyster
#

the game has been referred to as a "metroidbrainia" before, which is a fitting term

#

the keys to your progression are just knowing things

sleek swallow
#

I've never heard that before, that's so peak monklaugh

tranquil delta
#

since most of the "keys" are soft

sleek swallow
#

'Cause Rain World does give off all the vibes of a Metroidvania to me, even if it definitively is NOT

tranquil delta
#

i.e. there's not a lot you actually need to know to get places

placid elm
#

for me its like: go through hell and come back a demon

#

i backflip^behind the lizards and backstab them

#

i ROCOCHET on the water with a leap

#

i climb fast

#

jump HIGH

#

this a an amazing feeling

#

hubris will get me leeches but im riduing the feeling

terse oyster
#

yeah getting really good at rain world is very satisfying

#

I bet you'd enjoy the server challenges once you've finished your playthroughs 🙂

#

but don't worry about them until then

placid elm
#

o i have a quest to complete

#

ill see the extra after

#

usually i finish the games once and i say: thats the story thats how it will be

#

with narrative games like this at least

#

i was expecting to come back to her next week

#

not TODAY

#

*EUUU THERES KRAKENS IN THIS GAME

#

WHAT

topaz folio
#

krakens? monksilly

placid elm
#

chinese dragon, but underwater and mechanical

#

also i see ghosts now

#

its probably a "your attuenement is closer to us" thing

subtle mason
#

btb i thought you were still in chimney saintblep

#

or, at least still on the way… i figured itd take you a little longer

placid elm
#

i am amazed

#

baffled

#

damn blue lady zone is hella similar to the pink guy

#

just ruined

#

i hope i dont have to steal ALL the lightbulbs

#

maybe its political

#

if its a who has the more lightbulb thing pink guy is in the lead

#

ghosts

#

HI BLUE LADY

#

omg she talks

#

she so nice

sleek swallow
#

I can fetch this dialogue for you after you finish it, too, if you'd like monksilly

placid elm
#

her tale is a sad one indeed

#

machine born with unfillable purpose

#

granted godlike knowledge yet lacking the the one they need

#

despair and rot for all

placid elm
#

now that i am better, i will get her more neurons, as they are called

#

and perals too

#

pink guy seems to like those

sleek swallow
#

What are you? If I had my memories I would know...

Perhaps... I saw you before?

You must be very brave to have made it all the way here. But I'm sorry to say your journey here is in vain.

As you can see, I have nothing for you. Not even my memories.

Or did I say that already?

I see that someone has given you the gift of communication. Must have been Five Pebbles, as you don't look like you can travel very far...

He's sick, you know. Being corrupted from the inside by his own experiments. Maybe they all are by now, who knows. We weren't designed to transcend and it drives us mad.

It is good to have someone to talk to after all this time! The scavengers aren't exactly good listeners. They do bring me things though, occasionally...```
placid elm
#

i dont think i can steal from him tho

#

hell probably kill me

sleek swallow
placid elm
#

neurons

#

NEURONS

sleek swallow
#

...

I could read a bit of Five Pebbles in this neuron before formatting it. His condition has severely deteriorated since last I heard of him. The frustration he feels is profound, and that angst has seeped into every part of him, every neuron.

We were supposed to help everyone, you know. Everything. That was our purpose: a great gift to the lesser beings of the world. When facing our inability to do so, we all reacted differently. Many with madness.

Some, out there, might still be trying. Communications have been bad for a long time, and by now I suspect most of us are isolated like me, or connected only in small groups.

But even back when we were all more or less connected there were those who reacted to their task with anger. I can only imagine they are angrier now, alone in their cans, left only with their insatiable drive.

But to be honest, I don't know how many of us are still alive at this point.```
placid elm
#

I ATE HIS BRAIN

subtle mason
#

its ok its always morally correct to give pink guy brain damage spearpensivetothat

placid elm
#

i dont like him

#

stole my grub

#

bitch

#

maybe hes ranting to him about how is robes are too sluggy after meeting me or whatever

subtle mason
#

**i am godlike beyond your comprehension, leave immediately but leave the grub” hunterclose

placid elm
#

YES

subtle mason
#

(swings around the room) “weeeee” hunterclose

placid elm
#

yea bro is just introvert

#

but not the fun kind

#

imma call him pink saruman

#

i think im going to use a passage to get back faster

#

i have 2 now and by my experience going back is faster than up

sleek swallow
#

Where are you passaging to? monkcurious

subtle mason
#

if its easy maybe you can challenge yourself? monksilly

placid elm
#

i was planning to get 2 neurons back

#

on in mounth one in hand

placid elm
#

i wasnt able to choose wich bunker i went to the first time i passaged, so im NOT getting stuck like last time

sleek swallow
#

(You were able to choose, I'm sure you just didn't see the option monksilly)

placid elm
#

so each character gets their passage?

#

last time it was survivor so i was like: hey thats me

#

i can warp direcly to mecha brain

#

heck yes

#

5 pebble is a weird name for a brain tho

sleek swallow
#

It tells you the name of the passage each time... I think each time you make progess? I forget, actually monksilly

placid elm
#

surely that has no lore implication

#

NO OPTIONS

#

YOU LIED

#

it was just: 5 pebble

#

push to go

#

and BAM

#

in the bunker

sleek swallow
#

You have to select before you press the button to warp 🥹

placid elm
#

yea the area

#

not the specific bunker

#

im on the right side tho so is ok

#

the heist is on

sleek swallow
#

You select the bunker BEFORE you select "Hold to warp" or whatever it says

placid elm
#

are you sure thats not a dlc thing?

#

i really didnt see options

sleek swallow
#

You press the map button

#

Then select one

placid elm
#

everything is fine so is ok

#

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

#

STEALS YOUR BRAIN

#

wait i cant eat food now

subtle mason
#

i mean you can eat you just gotta be careful

placid elm
#

yea

placid elm
#

fun fact: the octodolphin eat neurons out of your hand instantly

terse oyster
#

it'll spoil the official name of the creature though so it's at your own discretion

placid elm
#

Is ok, i judt have to do this part 6 times to get them in the belly safely

#

I die a lot but a challenge is a challenge

placid elm
#

Hold the fuck up

#

She sais the pink saruman name is 5 pebble

#

So if shes the same as him she got the name of her area, wich is looks at the moon

#

If its her name, even her name is nice

sleek swallow
#

'Cause:

  1. They might not have ever been there (open world game monksilly)
  2. It could influence what they do in the future
#

Not trying to be harsh on you or anything, just letting you know to be careful for both you and others' sakes slugheart

placid elm
#

O yea mb

#

Sorry about that, wont do it again

tranquil delta
#

also, keep in mind that this is a nonlinear game

#

even if you've gotten to the same point as someone else, you could've gone a different way or used different tactics

#

so you can still spoil each other

subtle mason
#

also rw being a kinda knowledge check puzzle

topaz folio
#

looking forward to seeing you help others in the future though if it's something you're interested in!! rivgfluid

placid elm
#

yea im sorry i was exited to find someone the same as me but i forgor this game is very much unique in this way

placid elm
#

rain world

#

im stupid

placid elm
#

AHAHHAa

#

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

#

I MADE IT

#

THROUGH THE UNDERHANG AND THE WALL AND THE BIRD LAND AND THE PLANTS

#

im bringing her 3 at the same time

#

lets see how she likes it

#

alr! she thanked me and said she feels better, but also i think she dont like pebble either

#

"he wont mind"

sleek swallow
#

Shalt I grab the dialogue? monksilly

placid elm
#

yes please!

#

also

#

i gave her a pearl

#

those are files

#

perals

#

are

#

files

#

the cavemen are DATA BROKERS

sleek swallow
#

That's one way to put it, I suppose monklaugh

placid elm
#

that also explain the 5 pebble situation

#

i cant steal pearls from him can i now

#

he probably will kill me

sleek swallow
#

I mean, you could try-

#

Anyway, what do you plan to do now? monkcurious

placid elm
#

i dont know

#

i dont feel like abandoning the world just yet

#

i could try hard to reach the temple, but for what

#

to flee myfate? to leave all to rot?

#

this shall not be

#

i must collect informations

#

2 sources: the pearls(some are colorfull?) that i find around, some even inside look to the moon old brain

#

and the god

#

im betting there are more of the guys, what the "ancientS with an S"

#

but blue lady, so looks to the moon is the key to my quest

#

as she helped me find food and shelter, as she warned me for evil pole looking vines

#

i shall help her on her quest

#

with organic stupidity and artificial intelligence, we shall prevail

#

now i must find food

#

im going to ask a question that may be kinda spoiler but: is every pearl in the game a unique file or is there duplicates

#

i dont wanna search for 45h if i dont have to

sleek swallow
#

You would like a direct answer to that?

placid elm
#

just say yes or no

#

also SHE STILL WANTS NEURONS

#

i mean alright but im going to stop giving them for now

#

i grow tired of this travel

sleek swallow
#

Well, you've nearly doubled the amount she had before, already, right? monklaugh

sleek swallow
placid elm
#

ok!

#

thx

placid elm
#

i cant just steal ALL of them

#

they were hundreds!

#

took me time enough to steal 4

#

that siver straws seems quite smart, to solve actual mortality

#

and OF COURSE she died

#

so bro solved life and died

sleek swallow
#

(I can fetch the dialogue for you, if you don't want to have to worry about getting every screenshot in time monksilly)

placid elm
#

yea

#

ok so from the dialogues i get, the interesting pearls are the colored ones

#

the normal ones are like lore titbits and such

#

"o the scavengers are good at peircing pearls", " thats a machine blueprint"

#

and the green one was like:o yea this gal solved entropy and died

#

i shall search far and wide for colored pearls

sleek swallow
#

Here's the dialogue for that pearl (which is actually a pale yellow color, not green monksilly):

#

It's about an iterator called Sliver of Straw. I don't remember when I wrote it... Do you know Sliver of Straw? She's quite legendary among us.

Sliver of Straw is the only one to ever broadcast a specific signal: that the Big Problem we're all working on has been solved. The triple affirmative - affirmative that a solution has been found, affirmative that the solution is portable, and affirmative that a technical implementation is possible and generally applicable. She's also one of few that has ever been confirmed as exhaustively incapacitated, or dead. We do not die easily.

Sliver of Straw sent this and the ensuing commotion was historically unparalleled, before or after. I still remember it. But... nothing happened - except that Sliver of Straw was apparently dead. When the dust settled we were all still there blinking at each other.

Everyone had a theory. Some said that she did have a solution, but that the solution itself was somehow dangerous. These later became known as the Triangulators, who think that a solution should be inferred without being directly discovered.

Some said she never had a solution, she just died. And when the systems broke down an erroneous signal was sent.

One camp claimed that dying *was* the solution.

Either way, after that these different factions developed, as well as a huge forensic effort to recreate and simulate Sliver of Straw's last moments. Some of the simulations were wrapped in a simulation wrapped in a simulation, in case something dangerous might happen. Nothing much has come from it.

In my essay I make the case that maybe she should be allowed to rest in peace now.```

#

damn you bad eyes

#

i actually have epic eyes just color is bad

sleek swallow
#

Color blindness spearpensivetothat

placid elm
#

is ok its not like i choose to have an art career or smth, that would be stupid

#

who does that

#

so um

#

where to now

#

i have NO clue where to find them pearls

#

do the fish ghost lead me to them?

subtle mason
#

as a curiosity is it a kinda color blindness where you risk mistaking big lore pearls for small ones or nah

placid elm
#

nah

subtle mason
#

ok phew

placid elm
#

the grey ones are very greay and the same

#

i hope there no like

subtle mason
#

idk what it looks like exactly on your end

placid elm
#

soft blue ones thats important tho

#

its not like i can show you

subtle mason
#

i mean technically you can ask but its probably gonna get tedious when its like every pearl monkwail

subtle mason
placid elm
#

i will find the colored ones

#

i hope

#

the grey ones i kinda dont care

#

the lore titbits are not worth the long jurney

#

ill probably look them up after

#

also the ghost eggs keep reapering even when i know i cleared them 6 times

#

im gonna stop popping them its useless

#

this symbol lighted up, intop left

#

its probably from the pearl

#

one of the reading has been interrupted by the rain, i feel so bad for her

#

"its unpleasant, but ive been through it before"

#

moon is a warrior of a gal

#

she deserves every neuron i gave her and more

#

but later

#

in a world full of hate, friendship is the light in the dark

#

and she is the only being, sentient or not, who showed kindness

sleek swallow
#

Remind me, do you have names for them?

placid elm
#

its funny cvause now my goal is the exact same i had in the very first instance of me having the game

#

randome exploration

#

AHA

#

my hypothesis is correct

#

they put them in hard to reach places

#

so HIGH

#

pink peral acquired

#

hug its hard

#

some of the pipes get me into water

#

i need to climb the big chimneys

#

HUGH i need to go through the big swim

#

but my slugcat is too weak

#

also yay 2d blip is pink!

#

it IS about the pearls

#

i wonder if they appear in her room or just disseapear

#

i need to kidnap a dolphin

#

A LIZARD KILLED MY KIDNAPED OCTOPUS

#

FFS

#

cant have shit in rain world

#

o there are broken bunkers

#

o no i cant wall jump with octo pus

#

HOW DO I DO THIS

sleek swallow
#

What does the room you're in look like?

placid elm
#

there was a bubble plant somewhere but i forgor

#

basically i need to go up a GIANT waterwau to explore up a giant tower thing

#

aint explored here yet

#

so im trying to get a fish here to ge faster up and dont die

#

hold on ill get back to it and show you

#

omg ok its a miracle

#

a fish fell out where i need it

#

in front of me

#

wait i cant wall jump with it

#

UHG

#

i need to go up there to go to big wwater

sleek swallow
#

Oh, this spot

placid elm
#

my objective is to go up, so here

#

but i cant jump that

#

so im tryna go around, wich is the big swim

sleek swallow
#

I think you can at least make it to the surface without a fish, but it might be a bit tight

placid elm
#

OMG I CAN JUST SWIM UP UP WTF

#

ive seen this guy drown WAY easier

#

hes lying about his breath

#

ok so i get back IN the tube, but the jumps the same i cant make it

#

THE LIZARD DID AND COMFIRMED MY SUSPITION

#

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

#

I KNEW IT

#

UP IS THE WAY

#

still need to jump 🙁

#

AQUA LIZARDS*

#

HOW THE F DO I JUMP THAT

#
  • those 2 areas are "connected" but theres an invisible wall
#

i bet thats the same on the other sid

#

i hope the passage isnt underwater

#

it is

#

the passage is underwater

#

ok theres NO WAY i swim up and down without a fish

#

ok i made it!

#

YES

#

PERAL ACQUIRED

#

the scholar, aye?

#

hey thats a psaage

#

maybe a neuron thievery in the making

#

or i can tp with a pearl later

topaz folio
#

good job on getting that pearl!! slugpraise

placid elm
#

i was quite lucky cause when i arrived it was probably a bird nest

#

and there was 2 birds fighting over a lizard, so i rushed in and snateched the pearl like lighting

#

thats why there was no screenshot, no time

#

now im almost finished bringing them to moon

#

ok i managed to get both pearls in moon's brain

#

i need to to them 1 by one cause the fish keep bumping me and making me lose my hand objects

#

but its only 2 items this time at least, not like the neurons that where 3

#

ok so one of the pearl is about "purposed organisms", so these ancients were masters of biology

#

also apparently slugcats are made to clean pipes

#

nice were sponges

#

i would like the dialogue for that please

#

if thats ok

sleek swallow
#

One moment

placid elm
#

also talk to the moon is biological in nature!

#

she has a soul then! thats nice

sleek swallow
#


Do you know what a purposed organism is? Actually you are talking to one right now!

Although, a small fraction of one. Nowadays I am mostly just my puppet. The bulk of me is in these walls but I am disconnected from those parts, to a degree where I am only vaguely aware of how bad their condition is.

Most purposed organisms were considerably smaller than me, and most barely looked like organisms at all. More like tubes in metal boxes, where something went in one end and something else came out the other.

There were of course those that were purposed for spectacle rather than industry - they enjoyed the privilege of glass boxes.

When I came into this world there was very little primal fauna left. So it's highly likely that you are the descendant of a purposed organism yourself!```
placid elm
#

the second pearl is about how iterators drink a lot of water and how they fonction

#

also how they die

sleek swallow
#

Water is the most important resource for our basic function. Most of our processing is outsourced to microbe strata which need a flow of clean water or else slag builds up, our processes seize, and eventually we die. It is... very painful. They used to say that an iterator drinks a river, but neither of us two have seen a natural river so I suppose the analogy is lost on us, little creature!

Originally water supply was very important when placing iterators. Later there would be a great equalizer - the fact that we breathe out as much vapor as we inhale water led to there being water available everywhere, and the latest few generations could be placed almost completely freely.

Building Pebbles so close to me was believed to be a risky choice, but the groundwater was finally deemed as sufficient. It was not a good decision, in hindsight.```
placid elm
#

"it was not a good decicion"

#

did they fight for water supply?

#

did fuckface pebble man starve moon to death?

#

also she doesnt keep the color pearls theu just disseapear 🙁

sleek swallow
#

You can store them in the shelter right next to her

#

But you still have the dialogue, at least

placid elm
subtle mason
#

if you lost any pearls rn it migth be too late to save these

#

but storing them in shelters is one way of storing them safely

placid elm
#

i lost the green one

#

the one about silver straw

sleek swallow
#

Unfortunate

#

They're supposed to respawn if you lose them like that

#

But I suppose it didn't work or that setting was turned off

subtle mason
#

well, thats a remix QOL

sleek swallow
#

It is

#

But it and Remix are on by default, I believe

subtle mason
#

i think its on by default if you enable remix and just leave it as is

#

nah remix is off

sleek swallow
#

Oh, really? I coulda sworn it was on by default...

#

Welp lizwhiteshrug

placid elm
#

so um

#

whats remix

sleek swallow
#

It's a built-in quality of life mod monksilly

#

It makes a few small changes, most of which are configurable

#

I thought it was on by default, but I suppose it isn't

placid elm
#

a yes i can access it in the main menu

sleek swallow
#

Yep

placid elm
#

hmm

sleek swallow
#

The Remix menu is the mod menu, and one of those mods is Remix (they really could've been less confusing with the naming-)

placid elm
sleek swallow
#

Ah, yep, I suppose it IS off

#

You can just leave it off

placid elm
#

should i activate dev tools later to get me the pearl back?

#

its u to me i guess

sleek swallow
#

I don't know if you can do that with Dev Tools?

placid elm
#

what does remix give me?

sleek swallow
#

Uhhhhhh quality of life changes

#

Mostly small things

#

I would just leave it off for now, you've played this far without it monksilly

#

Some of the changes it makes are confusing, as well

#

Obviously your choice if you'd like to try it out monksilly

placid elm
#

will it destroy my save?

sleek swallow
#

No

#

(It shouldn't, at least-)

placid elm
#

reasuring

sleek swallow
#

Ok, no, it won't, I just thought it through

#

Downpour, which makes FAR more changes, doesn't break if you turn it on/off

#

...Well, a couple things do, but nothing game shattering

placid elm
#

very well

#

i shall see if some things i like

subtle mason
#

remix has a lot of QOL but if youre used to rain world as is, it might feel overbearing saintblep

#

also its a lot of noise where its like should i turn this on or off, is this the "correct" choice or the "intended" experience

#

but if you need a booster its there

placid elm
#

fish item protection is one i will activate

sleek swallow
#

Oh yeah that one's nice-

placid elm
#

this specific feature made me go back too much

sleek swallow
#

DIRECTLY dealing with a problem you've had monksilly

placid elm
#

yes

#

i couldve made 2 runs, 1 for the neuron and one for the pearls

#

instead, because i needed to go back and fourth i did 10

#

every one with their share of death and bad luck

#

key item tracking is the other one

#

theres a rain time multipiler? its like toogling on easy mod

#

game is not the same without the constant anguish of fleeing death

#

ok, so i activated fast map reveal, key item tracking and fish protection

#

the rest is off

sleek swallow
#

Yeah, those are some good ones

placid elm
#

also more lizard voices

subtle mason
#

i like the lizards voices one

#

yipeee

placid elm
#

no gameplay changes, just qol for me pls

subtle mason
#

just make sure you save the settings and not do the quit out thing

placid elm
#

i did

#

"applly"

sleek swallow
placid elm
#

my skin grew tough from those deaths

subtle mason
#

i hate that its called slug senses

placid elm
#

lizard hell forged me into a slug with the determination of every bite he felt

#

its about rising with your hands from your knees

#

to see gods of flesh and metal and spirit

#

not about having superpowers

#

are the pearls considered key items tho

terse oyster
#

or wait uhh what's the other one

placid elm
terse oyster
placid elm
#

i didnt need the passage one to bring 3 neurons at a time to moon

#

i shall not need it to bring the pearls

terse oyster
#

🫡

placid elm
#

OO i have access to the game map from the main menu

#

is it the whole map or just what i discovered?

#

the holes in it answer my question

sleek swallow
#

Helpful for planning and such

placid elm
#

indeed

#

a hunter values preparation as much as firepower

#

and also looking at the map in game makes the rain timer not stop

#

well i go to sleep now, as the slug do

#

thank you for your help

topaz folio
fast blade
terse oyster
#

slug senses should always be on anyways 😌

#

but good to know

placid elm
#

i have speculations, and a probable objective

#

lets order things

#

my primary objective is to help looks to the moon by any means, and she needs 2 things

#

1: to be repaired

#

2: to complete her prupose

#

the only one who could repair her i believe is 5 pebble, althou since they probably fight over water supply he will be probably unwilling

#

if i can find a way to make pebble listen it may bepossible, tho i doubt it

#

and to solve their purpose is to find what silver of straw did to replicate it

#

problem: mister pebble is actively trying to solve the "big problem" as they call it

#

so hes probably hoarding all the relevent files in his cave

#

i fear a heist is needed to learn more, tho i am unsure as to how i can do that

#

i wonder if there are pearls relevants in his "memmory banks"

#

so its either i keep randomly searching the world for pearls or i go looking through a gods brain

#

sorry do you guys get 1000 pings when i post here? imma make just one big message itll be better for everyone

subtle mason
#

i dont think people are getting pinged?

#

me personally i’m kinda just too online and bored

#

there’s a specific role ping to actually ping felpers

placid elm
#

o yea question

#

no spoiler, just answer yes or no, but is there multiples endings?

subtle mason
#

no

placid elm
#

alr! so its all about how you leave the world when you finish the game

#

thx

#

the goodnews is because i know where the temple is and having 10 lifescore to enter should be a challenge but doable, i know how to end the game

#

its up to me what i must do now

junior nacelle
#

How they each end up is something you'll have to find out down the line

#

But, as far as this one specifically is involved, yeah one fate alone awaits you

placid elm
#

prehaps, but im prettysure since the game is non linear i couldve entirely sjipped moon, heck since the mark is from "the ancients" im sure the gods can give it to me

#

i couldve skipped the entire iterator thing

#

if there is only one destination for the slug, there shall be a new path for moon

placid elm
#

whats that in the top right?!

#

thats remix isnt it?

sleek swallow
#

That is there because of Remix, yes

terse oyster
placid elm
#

well seing as its the same color as "the wanderer", and it activated everytime i slept in a new zone

#

id say its wich burrows i slept in

#

as for why orange and blue i dont know

#

man im so glad i glow now

#

still dont know why but its awseome

#

im in the metro rn searching for pearls

terse oyster
#

for the arena mode

placid elm
#

Ooo ye

#

i guess

#

not planning on using that a whole lot

#

i not a pvp man

terse oyster
#

you couldnt pvp unless you use mods or have local friends anyways, people mostly use it to play around with creatures and items and such

placid elm
#

AHA

#

so pearls are either DEEP DOWN or UP HIGH

#

cause i just found a red one!

#

there are 3 of them ?!

#

no wait theres like many normal pearls and 1 red

#

i hope i took the good one

#

these are similar in color

subtle mason
#

are you gonna go back to lttm?

#

youve got the passages for a back and forth

placid elm
#

yeaaaaaaaa but i could exploe more from here

#

im going fast now and i dont wanna use a passage for othing

sleek swallow
#

It also can't hurt to save your passages, and get used to exploring and gathering pearls on foot monksilly

placid elm
#

exactly

#

i gain xp

subtle mason
#

ok fair enough saintblep

sleek swallow
placid elm
#

im in the metro

#

i died and i need to get it back but wich one is it

#

my colorblindness is not helping rn

sleek swallow
#

Pretty sure the one in the middle there is colored

#

I think

placid elm
#

yea im getting a darker tone from it

subtle mason
sleek swallow
#

Eh, kinda teal - dark blue-green

subtle mason
#

ok thats probably not that important ig

placid elm
#

im going to jump of a cliff

sleek swallow
#

Ok, I vote we stop saying the actual colors of these pearls-

placid elm
#

do!

#

please

subtle mason
#

kinda curious, if you leave the pearl on the floor somewhere and then you open your memory map

placid elm
#

people ve doing that for my entire life is ok

subtle mason
#

does it show up?

placid elm
#

im going to say that when i come back

#

centipede zapped me

subtle mason
#

oop

#

its a feature of key item tracking

#

idk how it works exactly, i think it doesnt work on my side

placid elm
#

skave

#

scave took it

#

imma reload 🙁

subtle mason
#

bahaha

#

they do that sometimes yea saintpensive

placid elm
#

ok i get a blip on my map!

#

i activate slug sense and tried it, its ok

#

i know wich pearl it is now so is good

#

imma eat it

subtle mason
#

ooh wait is key item tracking a slug sense thing??

#

ok that might explain why i dont have that then

sleek swallow
#

I think it only shows up on the map if slug senses are enabled, or something

placid elm
#

well i dont use it much in combat anyways so im gonna keep that

#

i think theres no pearls in lizard hell, cause down there theres the temple

#

the good thing with me being way faster is that i dont care about food mostly

#

i go through so much ground i found plenty

#

fighting centipeds in the conduit is actual torture

#

WHY DO THEY TAKE 4 SPEARS

#

omg i hate these guys

placid elm
#

at least we can eat them

placid elm
#

i stached a pearl in one of the bunker long ago

#

i dunno if its colored

sleek swallow
#

Could be worth checking; most likely it isn't, but ya never know monksilly

placid elm
#

i left it in the bunker

#

its in the gate one nect to shoreline so ill get to it

#

i stached here the not red one too

#

i found another one

#

in a blob room

#

this one is green

sleek swallow
#

Remind me what region you're in now?

placid elm
#

i was in garbage waste

#

i leeft on the right

#

in the gate rn

#

left

#

im now in "drainage system"

sleek swallow
placid elm
#

im scared cause rain is catching an i have NO idea where to find sheleter

#

leeches

#

death

#

my greed is immeasurable

#

pearl reaquicired

#

alr it is saved

#

drainage system is TOUGH*

#

HEY

#

i stepped on one?

#

wtf

#

its golden!

sleek swallow
#

A pearl? Or...?

placid elm
#

yes!

#

i was recovering from the leeches

#

i HATE

#

leeches

#

i ABHORE

#

leeches

sleek swallow
placid elm
#

but the buuble plant is making the leave

#

epic

#

now that i have found 3 pearls i will likely get back

sleek swallow
#

Trips of 3 at a time seems like a good idea, yeah monksilly

placid elm
#

yea

#

im gonna get bored if i dont get answers at some point

#

after this ill likely go to the top

#

chimney canopy was it?

#

i tire of underground

sleek swallow
#

Chimney my beloved slugheart

placid elm
#

THESE THINGS

#

they ALMOST got me

#

almot 🙂

#

I LOST THE PEARL

#

WHAT

#

its in the leech water

#

fuck this IHATE3ABVZRDF8H NeV

#

hate

#

hate

#

hate

#

hate

#

hate

#

there is no skill to this specific area, you HAVE to go up for air and these devils WILL stack under you

#

i can do NOTHING

#

imma find another gate

sleek swallow
placid elm
#

well i am sure this difficulty is 98% the leeches

#

cause they are awfull

#

hatefull lifeforms that subsist on others instead of them

#

like a bunch of toxic exes

#

they live in murky waters away from helios grace*

#

waiting for you to go and fall in their mouth

#

i hate leeches

#

o no

#

im stuck

#

icant go back without getting through this shit

#

i cant jump over to new areas

#

i have to go down again

sleek swallow
#

You're certain you can't make that jump?

placid elm
#

im pretty sure

#

i hope i can

sleek swallow
#

It's either tight or you just can't, unsure which

placid elm
#

i am 2 pixels away from it

#

im going to try hard as hell

#

what if i can throw the spear mid air and make a platform from it

#

OMG

#

IM AM SO GLAD I HAD THAT LANCE

#

this game is actual evil

#

the explody bug exploded and the pearl fell in a tube i cant go into

sleek swallow
#

Are you sure you can't get to it?

placid elm
#

yea its a monster one

#

is ok tho i can clear the jump again

#

its xp

#

i am filled with determination

#

fueld by hatred

#

and chasing a worthy goal

#

nothing shall stop me

#

not even fuckass leeches

#

i saved

#

lets go!

placid elm
#

im back in outskirtqs!

#

duck those pipes

#

hu

#

outskirt looks hella like an iterator brain

placid elm
#

i enter shoreline now

#

armed with knowledge

topaz folio
#

wow monksilly

placid elm
#

them infinity stones

#

-1 i lost 🙁

#

+1 in my mouth 🙂

#

omg hello moon!

sleek swallow
#

I am prepping the dialogue for these monksilly

placid elm
#

the first pearl is made by young 5 pebble, its about dogmatic ascension

#

also it says that the garbage waste are "his waste area", bro is leaving his trash around

#

i hate that guy

sleek swallow
#

(Gonna assume you finished the dialogue, so I'll send it now)

#

It's written in internal language, or thoughts, so it is hard for me to translate so you would understand. It's a methodology for global ascension of course - quite good, although the Peripherists or the Slab Mongers certainly wouldn't agree!

"...considering the eight and the twenty sixth amendments to the Capricious Dogma, we are apparently supposed to take for granted that a meaning collector point inversion is the only way to approach what has later become referred to as 'noise milking' (or occasionally 'rock swatting'). I will argue my disagreement with this, not in regards to kind but in regards to..." Could it say... "volume"? Actually, are you getting anything out of this?

I suppose you found this in his waste department? I would be wary of going there - on his first fit of corruption he dumped a lot of infected material there, and if it has survived it could easily eat a little creature like you. Not that it would be as dangerous as going into Pebbles himself...

Also the pearls in the waste masses inevitably attract scavengers, which can be very dangerous when provoked.

But, you seem to have made it out of there.```
placid elm
#

yep, thank you!

#

the second on is about void fluid, and the nature of the center of the earth

#

seems this planet is different than ours

sleek swallow
#

If you leave a stone on the ground, and come back some time later, it's covered in dust. This happens everywhere, and over several lifetimes of creatures such as you, the ground slowly builds upwards.

So why doesn't the ground collide with the sky? Because far down, under the very very old layers of the earth, the rock is being dissolved or removed. The entity which does this is known as the Void Sea.

If you drill far enough into the earth you begin encountering a substance called Void Fluid. The deeper you go, the less rock and more Void Fluid. It's believed that there is a point where the rock completely gives way - below that would be the Void Sea.

When that stone you placed on the ground has finally done its time in the sediments, it meets the Void Fluid and is dissolved, leaving the physical world.

My creators, or rather my creators' ancestors, figured out a way to use Void Fluid. Because you can generate energy by creating a vacuum... never mind. Anyways, the Void Fluid drills were what started the big technological leap, but this is very long before I entered this world - so I can only tell you what I remember from priming.

A Void Fluid filtration system is used because if you take Void Fluid from close to the bedrock horizon, it will contain traces of rock and dirt. They bring in dirty fluid and then filter it to increase its purity. The other way is to put a pipe deeper, which works well for some time, but the pipe dissolves. Or is broken by some... force - no one really knows, you don't go down there and come back up.

I hope that satisfied your curiosity, little creature?```
placid elm
#

the final pearl is about an ancient text, and how ambition clashes with the meaning of the universe

#

very boudhist this one

#

seems like they, i myself try very hard and thus is trapped in this very realm

sleek swallow
#

The first verse starts by drawing a comparison between the world and a tangled rug. It says that the world is an unfortunate mess. Like a knot, the nature of its existence is the fact that the parts are locking each other, none able to spring free.

Then as it goes on the world becomes a furry animal hide, I suppose... because now us living beings are like insects crawling in the fur. And then it's a fishing net, because the more we struggle and squirm, the more entangled we become.

It says that only the limp body of the jellyfish cannot be captured in the net. So we should try to be like the jellyfish, because the jellyfish doesn't try.

This was an eternal dilemma to them - they were burdened by great ambition, yet deeply convinced that striving in itself was an unforgivable vice. They tried very hard to be effortless. Perhaps that's what we were to them, someone to delegate that unrestrained effort to.

I know I have tried very hard.```
placid elm
#

thank you very much!

#

hehehehe

sleek swallow
#

Looooooore

placid elm
#

yes

#

the more i learn, the more it looks like boudhism

#

and asian religions in general

#

mantras?amendments?dogma?

#

this and ambition being anatema to the nature of life, it smells of reincarnation

#

would make sens

#

what with all the ascension, and atuenement

#

i feel like this "temple" and this "mark" will simply give my slug acess to an exit in the cycle of reincarnation

#

this is what "the ancient" must have done, and why they left, leaving the non thinking and the "machines"(bioorganic) behind

#

at least they must not have told the iterators, or its like oly a faction of the ancient wanted ascention, those who "let things go" instead of trying

#

and maybe brought the others with them

#

whatever they did, 5 pebble knowvery well, and told me to fuck off and go do that

#

he is tryingvery hard to solve entropy in this onelife, probably because he cant ascend himself, and that would be the iterators purpose

#

would explain what happen to silver of straw, if she managed ascention she left the mortal plane, essentially "dying" for the other iterators

#

but speculations aside, i must sleep now

#

farewell!

#

i hope im not too far from the lore

#

maybe im LEAGUE away from it

#

at least yall have a laugh if yes

sleek swallow
#

You have greater than or equal to one thing correct; hope this helps! slugheart

#

i think im going to finish the campaign(with a S if i decide to do multiple) and then look at a big lore video or smth

#

to see how far i hit the mark

#

when i decide to stop playing anyway

sleek swallow
#

(Also, be warned that the Rain World lore can be a bit cryptic, so there are lore videos out there with lots of misconceptions or inaccuracies- it's probably best to, once you finish all campaigns, look up the pearl dialogue and draw your own conclusions first, then ask any questions you have in the lore channels or something)

#

Obviously this is all pretty far off, though monksilly

placid elm
#

Yea

topaz folio
#

there's a really good lore video i can recommend if you're really wanting to look into those, but that'll have to wait awhile as it contains dlc content monksillymidsilly

placid elm
#

Yea tbh if every campaign has her own giant map i may not play like the 6 of them

#

Thats a load of pearls and stuff

#

Unless they end up being life changing level of amazing its a lot of time spent

#

Me with like 500h in helldivers

topaz folio
#

i have 1k in rain world rivlook

placid elm
#

O

#

Thats a long time

topaz folio
#

(though that playtime isn't usually how long it takes people to do both dlcs)

placid elm
#

Thats 1 entire month

#

Nights included

topaz folio
#

the modding community is just very active so there's a ton of content to play after completing everything official

placid elm
#

Well you guys do seem passionnate

topaz folio
#

also i like the rain sounds on the menus 🥹

sleek swallow
#

(I just started playing modded recently, it's fun monksilly)

placid elm
#

This is a great game tho

#

I can see how you can sink in this

topaz folio
#

yeah the game and community is great

placid elm
#

Yall are excelent embassadors

#

Thx

topaz folio
#

it is uncommon someone does their first playthrough who wants to look more into the lore and story in this way too so it's really fun for us to watch you theorize saintyay

placid elm
#

I have been given a world to explore

#

Back in my sea of thieve era i was cataloging the ancient siren murals and making up lore

#

I just love stories

placid elm
#

once again i play

#

to the canopy!

placid elm
#

no pearl in the top of industrial complex 🙁

#

AHA

#

but one on the way:

#

chased by a lizard in a conduit; another one come frm the frony

#

this game is sometime cruel

#

now im in a place called sky islands

#

birds

#

fuck birds the 100 lizards are way worst

#

theres one on the top of sky ismand!

#

if only the lizard werent made by satan himself

#

it would be easier

#

the ennemie placement is honestly making me think if the devs arent lietrraly cruel

#

the number of times theres a pipe or a pole and everytime there a lizard here

#

the same

#

waiting

#

mb im in chimney not sky islad

sleek swallow
#

Chimney my beloved slugheart

placid elm
#

how can you love this lizard hell

#

i was wrong lizard hell isnt just underground

#

in here theres like minimul 3 per screen

sleek swallow
placid elm
#

how

#

man this game feel like it dont have bosses cause its one

#

as a whole

#

like here

#

sure get in the hole

#

H O W

#

at lkeast y homies are here sometimes

#

FFS AGAIN

#

and these are the ranged ones

#

this game is evil

#

"go up to save, the rain's coming man*

#

I MADE IT

#

ducked him in the pipes

#

chimney pearl acquired!

#

also i thinks theres only 1 per area

#

would make sens with the colored dots+ only the iterators got mutliples

sleek swallow
#

If you'd like, I could tell you if you've missed any pearls in the areas you've searched in

#

You're doing great, though monksilly

placid elm
#

im looking EVERYWHERE

#

i only missed a couple spots where it was too hard for me

#

good thing is cause im on the other side of the gates i dont have to survive to pass

#

rn im going to sky island to get its pearl, then i'll be at 3 and ill come back to moon

#

flyingcentipede

#

why

#

why

#

why

#

why

#

i stabbed and he fled

sleek swallow
placid elm
#

🔫

#

am i supposed to clear that?

#

the first i can

#

the second on?

sleek swallow
#

Ah, this gap is pretty imfamous

#

It's not doable with just long jumps, at least

placid elm
#

i need to kidnap the bug

#

but i cant hold any items while its kidnapped

#

its one at a time again, folks!

sleek swallow
#

Well, you can probably leave your pearls at a shelter by the gate

placid elm
#

yea i left it at a shelter

#

it was pathetic

#

mb i just suck

#

got it second try

#

JUST OUT OF REACH

#

OF COURSE

placid elm
#

update: i managed to save in the middle of sky island, starting the exploration tommr

#

im scared because i jumped a bridge that i fear i cant do on my own

#

so i may have to go back and forth with the pearls again

#

ngl if theres a way to tp you and multiple pearls with a passage ill do it

#

i have 3 passages its worth it for me

topaz folio
#

i'd be happy to do the same if he's not available monksillymidsilly

topaz folio
placid elm
#

i arise once more

#

ok nice i found one!

#

they are usually on the tops, tho IM SO GLAD they kinda glow/blink because they hide in the grass

#

can you spot the brown one?

#

i did!

#

this place is horrible

#

pearl saved and secured!

#

and that was the sky island one!

#

i just saw this eat a bird

#

W H A T

#

o no i cant clear that without the bug

#

i hate when the jump is 2 pexels away from not doable

#

its frustrating

#

mushrooms!

#

i will try to jump farther with them

#

YES

#

MUSHROOM GIVES YOU POWER

#

AHAHAHA

#

and thats 3 saved!

#

if i am to passage i may as well search if theres more in the area

#
