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?
help clearing a jump in [spoiler]
thx for the admin help brother
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
the wiki is very clear about this, its just that the map help a LOT
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
)
either way, i recommend experimenting with items you have around
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

Green guy? Gravity magic?
oh sorry didn't read up
OK
yea he pulled me up and i couldnt get the grub back
oh I see
at least he didnt kill me like the guys in the big temple
you had a grub and lost it
I'm not sure this is reasonably possible without the grub, though there could be more obscure strategies to do it.
it’s effectively a one-way like this yea
Why are you trying to get to the area on the right, exactly? Is that how you got here originally?
no i went up from the sea area with the blue lady
you can still go to the blue lady btw
im trying toi get back to her
but you might have to take a roundabout to do it
i have a fly she wanted
right
or hope you stumble upon another grub
searched EVERYWHERE
yeah, my recommendation is to either find another grub / other useful tool
or look for another way to get back
random genuine question for my curiosity; do you happen to have some sort of red-green color blindness?
this has no impact on your playthrough dw
i do and it does
camouflage lizard
ok that makes sense
ah yeah they're pink
EVIL
not green
the green guy is pink/orange
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
most of the activity in this server came in 2023 from a DLC
more than half of the members have joined since then
Though I've been a fan for years 
alr, ill start trecking back now
plenty of life level (karma?) to lose
now that i have 10
good luck 
the first-playthrough channels also get a lot of attention because
we like watching people discover the game 

is there a channel where i can like tell my story?
here is fine
ive hand QUITE the run*
this channel
I wish more discord servers had first playthrough channels...
If you mean the story of your playthrough: here! 
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
this is the best commu ever wtf
and change the title ig since its not relevant anymore
this is the only thread where you can't spoil anyone or (within the rules) be spoiled
so you can do whatever with it
do i make a new thread then?
nah just keep this one
... I think the consensus right now is that it's better to keep stuff in one thread
make sense
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
i can see how that can be annoying, ill tell my story here then
multiple posts with one question usually are also flooding the forum channels... i think?
There was also another one last year 
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
wait what kinda flies were they? 
Ah, the classic "drop the game and then return after a year or more" 
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)
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
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
uhoh 
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
(
is yellow BTW)
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

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


omg wait
I CAN UNDERSTAND BLUE LADY NOW
maybe pink guy is usefull after all
gotta get to her tho
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
Monologue would be a more accurate term, I suppose 
That's who I'm referring to, yeah 
So shall I fetch the dialogue monologues?
Firstly, pink guy:
...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.```
fuck that, im immortal i can save everyone
also if you didnt want me to ge through you CLOGGED and TENTACLE INFESTED BRAIN you shoudve installed direction pannels.
oo so hes a guy who found the X and used it
ok
why hes here tho
strange
dont answer that people
Don't worry, speculation is very obviously a rhetorical question 
We would never 
We'll never answer those for you
(hopefully at least)
presumably people sometimes come by and try
most of us are trained in the art of never saying anything actually useful unless specifically requested to do so
but the general goto is to always err on the side of dont spoil dont backseat
yeah we love watching first playthroughs 
Chimney my beloved 
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
ok i was wondering if you were here or no 
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
🙁
betrayal 🥹
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
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)
You know how the game works now 
you have learned to survive
you have the Knowledge
Knowledge is all the buff you need 
this is why we're so careful about spoilers here
just knowing how the world works gives you a huge advantage
"Knowledge is power" has never been more true a saying than in Rain World 
the game has been referred to as a "metroidbrainia" before, which is a fitting term
the keys to your progression are just knowing things
I've never heard that before, that's so peak 
although Rain World is kinda weird in that regard
since most of the "keys" are soft
'Cause Rain World does give off all the vibes of a Metroidvania to me, even if it definitively is NOT
i.e. there's not a lot you actually need to know to get places
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
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
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
krakens? 
chinese dragon, but underwater and mechanical
also i see ghosts now
its probably a "your attuenement is closer to us" thing
btb i thought you were still in chimney 
or, at least still on the way… i figured itd take you a little longer
i did too
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
I can fetch this dialogue for you after you finish it, too, if you'd like 
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
yes please
now that i am better, i will get her more neurons, as they are called
and perals too
pink guy seems to like those
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...```
Lemme fetch the dialogue for that, too...
...
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.```
I ATE HIS BRAIN
its ok its always morally correct to give pink guy brain damage 
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
**i am godlike beyond your comprehension, leave immediately but leave the grub” 
YES
(swings around the room) “weeeee” 
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
Where are you passaging to? 
if its easy maybe you can challenge yourself? 
from my map ill go to underhang to not get stuck like last time
i wasnt able to choose wich bunker i went to the first time i passaged, so im NOT getting stuck like last time
(You were able to choose, I'm sure you just didn't see the option
)
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
It tells you the name of the passage each time... I think each time you make progess? I forget, actually 
surely that has no lore implication
NO OPTIONS
YOU LIED
it was just: 5 pebble
push to go
and BAM
in the bunker
You have to select before you press the button to warp 🥹
yea the area
not the specific bunker
im on the right side tho so is ok
the heist is on
You select the bunker BEFORE you select "Hold to warp" or whatever it says
everything is fine so is ok
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
STEALS YOUR BRAIN
wait i cant eat food now
i mean you can eat you just gotta be careful
yea
fun fact: the octodolphin eat neurons out of your hand instantly
there's actually a setting in Rain World Remix that lets you stop that from happening, assuming I know what you're referring to 🤔
it'll spoil the official name of the creature though so it's at your own discretion
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
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

I would especially avoid making comments like this in other people's threads
'Cause:
- They might not have ever been there (open world game
) - 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 
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
also rw being a kinda knowledge check puzzle
looking forward to seeing you help others in the future though if it's something you're interested in!! 
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
i dont know what rw is but i wont question it
rain world
im stupid
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"
Shalt I grab the dialogue? 
yes please!
also
i gave her a pearl
those are files
perals
are
files
the cavemen are DATA BROKERS
That's one way to put it, I suppose 
that also explain the 5 pebble situation
i cant steal pearls from him can i now
he probably will kill me
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
You would like a direct answer to that?
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
Well, you've nearly doubled the amount she had before, already, right? 
Well, direct answer to this: ||There is a set of pearls with unique dialogue, and a set that's random from a pool. Let me know if you'd like me to elaborate.||
yea but she ask for more
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
(I can fetch the dialogue for you, if you don't want to have to worry about getting every screenshot in time
)
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
Here's the dialogue for that pearl (which is actually a pale yellow color, not green
):
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.```
Color blindness 
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?
as a curiosity is it a kinda color blindness where you risk mistaking big lore pearls for small ones or nah
nah
ok phew
idk what it looks like exactly on your end
i mean technically you can ask but its probably gonna get tedious when its like every pearl 
no choice but to just be diligent 
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
Remind me, do you have names for them?
#1495137482013147266 message
Oh, nevermind I guess 
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
What does the room you're in look like?
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
Oh, this spot
my objective is to go up, so here
but i cant jump that
so im tryna go around, wich is the big swim
I think you can at least make it to the surface without a fish, but it might be a bit tight
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
good job on getting that pearl!! 
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
One moment
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!```
thank you very much!
the second pearl is about how iterators drink a lot of water and how they fonction
also how they die
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.```
"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 🙁
You can store them in the shelter right next to her
But you still have the dialogue, at least
yea but it means i lost one already 😭
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
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
well, thats a remix QOL
i think its on by default if you enable remix and just leave it as is
nah remix is off
It's a built-in quality of life mod 
It makes a few small changes, most of which are configurable
I thought it was on by default, but I suppose it isn't
a yes i can access it in the main menu
Yep
hmm
The Remix menu is the mod menu, and one of those mods is Remix (they really could've been less confusing with the naming-)
I don't know if you can do that with Dev Tools?
what does remix give me?
Uhhhhhh quality of life changes
Mostly small things
I would just leave it off for now, you've played this far without it 
Some of the changes it makes are confusing, as well
Obviously your choice if you'd like to try it out 
will it destroy my save?
reasuring
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
remix has a lot of QOL but if youre used to rain world as is, it might feel overbearing 
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
fish item protection is one i will activate
Oh yeah that one's nice-
this specific feature made me go back too much
DIRECTLY dealing with a problem you've had 
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
Yeah, those are some good ones
also more lizard voices
no gameplay changes, just qol for me pls
just make sure you save the settings and not do the quit out thing
This one might be on the border of that: slug senses is good for trying to prevent otherwise seemingly unavoidable deaths from off screen threats, though I'd understand if you want to leave it off
my skin grew tough from those deaths
i hate that its called slug senses
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
are you referring to the "Key Items on Passage" remix setting?
or wait uhh what's the other one
no to key item tracking
any item that shows with an icon on the map is a Key Item
i didnt need the passage one to bring 3 neurons at a time to moon
i shall not need it to bring the pearls
🫡
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
Helpful for planning and such
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
you can, but it's not too easy if you don't know what you're doing
Item icons outside of shelters only show if you have both Key Item Tracking and Slug Senses on I think
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
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
no
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
Each character has a different story
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

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
That is there because of Remix, yes
it's pretty unintuitive, but I'd be curious if you could guess what it is
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
each one correlates to one of the weird little unlock thingies throughout the world
for the arena mode
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
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
yeaaaaaaaa but i could exploe more from here
im going fast now and i dont wanna use a passage for othing
It also can't hurt to save your passages, and get used to exploring and gathering pearls on foot 
ok fair enough 
Anyway, which region were you in?
im in the metro
i died and i need to get it back but wich one is it
my colorblindness is not helping rn
yea im getting a darker tone from it
this time its green btw 
Eh, kinda teal - dark blue-green
ok thats probably not that important ig
im going to jump of a cliff
Ok, I vote we stop saying the actual colors of these pearls-
kinda curious, if you leave the pearl on the floor somewhere and then you open your memory map
people ve doing that for my entire life is ok
does it show up?
oop
its a feature of key item tracking
idk how it works exactly, i think it doesnt work on my side
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
ooh wait is key item tracking a slug sense thing??
ok that might explain why i dont have that then
I think it only shows up on the map if slug senses are enabled, or something
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
at least we can eat them
Could be worth checking; most likely it isn't, but ya never know 
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
Remind me what region you're in now?
i was in garbage waste
i leeft on the right
in the gate rn
left
im now in "drainage system"
Oh, hey, that pearl is actually green 
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!
A pearl? Or...?

but the buuble plant is making the leave
epic
now that i have found 3 pearls i will likely get back
Trips of 3 at a time seems like a good idea, yeah 
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
Chimney my beloved 
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
It definitely has skill involved, but yeah, Drainage System is infamous for being difficult for new players 
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
You're certain you can't make that jump?
It's either tight or you just can't, unsure which
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
Are you sure you can't get to it?
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!
im back in outskirtqs!
duck those pipes
hu
outskirt looks hella like an iterator brain
wow 
I am prepping the dialogue for these 
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
(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.```
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
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?```
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
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.```
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
You have greater than or equal to one thing correct; hope this helps! 
(
)
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
I would recommend completing each campaign; each one has its own unique story and lore tidbits to find
(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 
Yea
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 
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
i have 1k in rain world 
(though that playtime isn't usually how long it takes people to do both dlcs)
the modding community is just very active so there's a ton of content to play after completing everything official
Well you guys do seem passionnate
also i like the rain sounds on the menus 🥹
(I just started playing modded recently, it's fun
)
i'm definitely on the high end of the hour count so don't worry
yeah the game and community is great
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 
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
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
Chimney my beloved 
how can you love this lizard hell
i was wrong lizard hell isnt just underground
in here theres like minimul 3 per screen
But they're so silly... 
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
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 
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
i need to kidnap the bug
but i cant hold any items while its kidnapped
its one at a time again, folks!
Well, you can probably leave your pearls at a shelter by the gate
yea i left it at a shelter
it was pathetic
mb i just suck
got it second try
JUST OUT OF REACH
OF COURSE
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
when im back at moon please do
i'd be happy to do the same if he's not available 
answer to this: ||there is, but you need the remix settings "Passage with key items" and "Key item tracking" enabled||
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
there one big tower i didnt look in yet
