#

Yeah

#

Agree

exotic patio
#

I don’t know if I did it right or not haha

outer oyster
#

Played Minecraft like that

#

just got in with no idea

round stirrup
#

I kept insisting to restart Eden again because I was horrified my winged light was gone.

mild gust
#

You went all the way through the big door of light, right?

exotic patio
#

It was me and 2 others and we played it really safe but in the last part of it when the lava rocks were raining down constantly that’s where we all died

outer oyster
#

LOL it is hard to let go when you've spent so long gathering the light.

exotic patio
#

Yep did the whole flying through space thing

mild gust
#

Haha ally, I’ve seen a few people do that. We were all on this channel like “no! Keep goooooing you can doooo it!”

exotic patio
#

Made it all the way back to home. I even recorded my last few moments before we died

mild gust
#

I recommend spending as many ascended candles as you can before rebirth so you get wing buffs before you’re reborn and land back in Home

exotic patio
outer oyster
#

Yeah, makes it worthwhile then

round stirrup
#

Yes! I didn’t realize at first to use the winged light for the spirits.

exotic patio
#

You mean when you gift the light to the other dead people there?

outer oyster
#

No after before you are reborn

mild gust
#

You gift winged light to the statues, yeah. But afterwards you ascend the emote spirits by spending the special eden candles

exotic patio
#

How do you do that?

mild gust
#

Before the big glowing door, there’s a spot where you can view the constellations

exotic patio
#

Ohhhhh

mild gust
#

And spend hearts/candles/etc

exotic patio
#

Now I’m mad at myself lol

#

I saw that but I didn’t think anything of it

mild gust
#

You can ascend spirits from the Home area, too, but you won’t get the wing buffs until you go through orbit again

round stirrup
#

It’s your first run, mistakes happen.

exotic patio
#

Ya

mild gust
#

You can get like 15.75 eden candles each week by giving light to all the statues

exotic patio
#

Does the amount of light you have affect Eden?

mild gust
#

You can go through eden as many times as you like to collect all of them. The statues reset every Sunday at 12am (game time)

#

The amount of winged light you have just affects how much you have to work with in the storm area

#

The more winged light you have, the more you can give to the statues (and have knocked out of you by the angry rocks)

exotic patio
#

But don’t you lose all of it anyways?

#

Oh wait I remember getting it back

#

There was so much to take in, I still haven’t had time to look back and reflect haha

mild gust
#

Yep! But when you get wing buffs for ascending spirits, then you start out with some winged light when you’re reborn. I start out with six wedges now

#

There really is a lot!

exotic patio
#

Here’s me ignoring the spirits

#

Okay so starting over, what should I do from now to reap the most out of eden

mild gust
#

There’s nothing that explicitly tells you about the wing buff mechanics before you get there, so it’s easy to miss

exotic patio
#

Just play through all the worlds again, collecting as much winged light as possible, and then how should I do eden differently

mild gust
#

Basically just get all the statues every week, and spend ascended candles before you leave orbit.

exotic patio
#

Or does it not really matter how you do eden

#

Okay

mild gust
#

Nah. There are maps of the statue locations if you really want to try and streamline the process, but there aren’t any big secrets. Just run around and sacrifice a bunch of light until you die.

#

And enjoy the pretty scenery

exotic patio
#

I think I sacrificed about 5, then decided not to do any more cuz I thought the point was to not die

outer oyster
#

@exotic patio I'll PM you the trick

#

Or DM

mild gust
#

Oh! You can get extra (normal) candle wax in orbit by flying into the emote spirits and the friends that appear in the “chorus of angels” type scene

exotic patio
#

I wish I could go through it all again tonight but I gotta go to bed soon

mild gust
#

Feel free to message me if you ever want help gathering stars. I go through eden a lot so I usually need to do star runs

#

I’m always down for extra eden runs, too.

exotic patio
#

Alright thanks

gilded aurora
#

I only died twice. Too afraid to die again in eden

#

don’t want to loose my wings and start again

#

Btw Played for one month

#

Btw how do I add other friend’s account ?

#

If let’s say I wish to add u Panda?

mild gust
#

Ok so when you spend ascended candles to ascend the emote spirits, you get permanent wing buffs when you leave eden for rebirth

jovial axle
#

wait I’ve been through eden and got the auto death thing , but you can actually die trying to finish eden?

gilded aurora
#

U die and reborn

jovial axle
#

oh

#

I thought you could literally die and get reset just trying

mild gust
#

@gilded aurora you open up the main menu, click Invite, and then share/copy the qr code link with your friend

sullen quail
#

First time finishing Eden with a friend. A friend I made in Eden and we helped each other. So wholesome 😭

gilded aurora
#

But I heard that u got to unlock as many wing buffs as possible so u won’t loose those wing levels after death

#

Congrats Skyhorse

jovial axle
#

you get wing buffs by using ascended candles on spirits?

sullen quail
#

Thank you!

gilded aurora
#

Stay there as long as u like with your new friends. It’s marvelous and peaceful there

#

Climb the star stairs

#

Lol Panda is making my itchy to go eden.

mild gust
#

Yep! The spirits you ascend gift you wing buffs as you exit orbit to be reborn

gilded aurora
#

I haven’t gone fully for two weeks

jovial axle
#

@mild gust is it cool if I add you?

gilded aurora
#

Only went in to collect candles

#

My ascend candle only 70%, can’t even unlock one buff

mild gust
#

Sure!

#

I’ll accept in a bit!

exotic patio
#

What do the wing buffs do?

gilded rain
#

They let you flap your wings multiple times

#

Say you have 5, you can flap 5 times before you have to recharge

exotic patio
#

But those are permanent after eden?

#

So if you go all the way back through you won’t start over with one?

paper nacelle
#

wing buffs are what the community calls the locks with wings on the spirits’ trees. they are “permanent” stars that you get right after you finish eden

exotic patio
#

Sweet

#

I can’t wait to go back through knowing how eden works now

paper nacelle
#

(“permanent” because while you get them, you can lose them if, say, you go into wasteland first thing and get krilled)

exotic patio
#

True

paper nacelle
#

they are sort of a reward for going through eden! so each rebirth you get to start off with more and more cape wedges (the stars at the back of your cape that indicate how many times you can flap your wings)

gilded aurora
#

Everyday I get killed by Krill once 😂

#

It makes my heart pumps faster

exotic patio
#

What a rush

gilded rain
#

But when you go through Eden again after losing them you’ll get them back

gilded aurora
#

There is a route to bypass one of the krill actually

paper nacelle
#

i’ve somehow gotten pretty good at avoiding those shrimp 😂 takes patience tho and after having a lot of stars you end up just not even minding being krill bait for newer players

gilded aurora
#

Just fly right and walk by the big pipes

#

shrimps?! Lol. It’s maybe half shrimp and coackroach

#

I always wonder where did that big fish that dives in the sky of wasteland portal

#

Where did it go

exotic patio
#

Is Krill just a fan name?

paper nacelle
#

the coelacanth? you see it in orbit again, actually!

exotic patio
#

I haven’t seen the name anywhere in the game so far

paper nacelle
gilded aurora
#

Aw that looks like cocoon

paper nacelle
#

yeah! they got called krill by the community at first bc of how similar they look to the actual creature, but the game calls them “dark dragons”

gilded aurora
#

Any reward if u fly pass it

paper nacelle
#

nah, just a fun game to play in orbit 😂

gilded aurora
#

How do I unlink my account with IOS Game Center

#

i wish to link with FB

paper nacelle
#

there is currently no way to link any account other than game center

gilded aurora
#

Oh

#

Ok. Cos I’m using iPad to play. And discord is on my mobile

#

Guess I have to install discord there as well to share the QR code

mild gust
#

You could text yourself the code, then copy paste in discord

#

Installing discord would probably be easier, though

outer oyster
#

At least you've the game... Android user cries

near forum
#

I feel the krill is the dev going “heh what a cool dragon I made”

#

And everyone else is like “it’s an oversized shrimp what are you talking about”

#

And the devs are just all starfRage starfRage

#

face the DARK DRAGON

outer oyster
#

Well they are sure dark and scary. Shrimps are not scary D:

#

Depends how close you get

#

Imagine a shrimp the size of a human 😮

#

Got this screenshot tonight, one of my favorites from the game so far

outer oyster
#

Some of mine :D

The visual experience in Eden is just so rewarding 💙

With the help of my friends finally met my favorite elders 💙 So happy^^

congrats! finishing those constellations is sYay

shell ether
soft valve
#

when you have no more statues to light and just have to wait for inevitable death

broken delta
#

wow, I'm well jelly, love those twins!

soft valve

#

Okay mechanics in eden are screwing me over wtf
It's like I'm getting stuck on everything and can't move

slender veldt
#

@soft valve don’t jump, try just walking and it doesn’t knock you over that much
A friend told me this and it was really helpful

#

Getting stuck?

#

What are you getting stuck on?

crisp pagoda
#

Literally just flat ground, it's like my feet were stuck in one place but I could rotate. I was just walking up to get past the one krill and I got stuck, so rocks hit me. And when I had no flame I got stuck again and couldn't move to get my wing piece, and then got hit again.

soft valve
#

walking feels like it takes to long. i only got knocked over because i was screenrecording

crisp pagoda
#

It's hard to describe, it was just not normal sort of "stuck in a corner" kind of thing. I don't know if I'm lagging or what but the rest of the game seems fine

wild marsh
#

Oof
pays respect

soft valve
#

f

#

i just reached the point where i can go to eden back to back because i have enough ascended candles

slender veldt
crisp pagoda
#

Okay thanks!

slender veldt
#

Shhhhhh iTs aSecrEt

#

😂😂😂😂😂 love it

soft valve
#

whoever just said that dm 😭

wild marsh
#

Oopsie

slender veldt
#

That was awesome

#

applause

#

I tried to use it the other day but it didn’t work

wild marsh
#

Lol,you need friends to recharge your light

soft valve
#

ah

slender veldt
#

Yeah I just fell cause I’m a loner 😢

wild marsh
#

I’m so glad I got the needed candles to ascend all the forest spirits

#

One step closer to that elder hair🤤

crisp pagoda
#

Eden hates me today omg

slender veldt
#

I want the anime hair

#

In valley of Triumph

#

I’m so sorry your game is being like this

soft valve
#

yeah i died so fast in eden today... hitting that area where theres NOWHERE to hide behind is so ruthless

crisp pagoda
#

Lol I still can't escape

wild marsh
crisp pagoda
#

Omg thank you so much haha

#

I ESCAPED

#

That was so odd

soft valve
#

f

wild marsh
#

THE POWER OF ||OREO’S CUTENESS|| SAVED YOU🤯

crisp pagoda
#

Probably 😂

#

Finally past that stupid part

soft valve
#

debating whether i should go collect stars or just head right back into eden

slender veldt
#

You should wait until reset if you want anything out of Eden

nova linden
#

an eden question:
i want to help a friend through eden and help light up statues etc. but since i've just done eden, i don't want to respawn with one wing.

#

am i able to guide my friend through the final phase of eden without getting stuck (no warp home)

soft valve
#

well i havent lit all the statues yet

nova linden
#

i have, but my friend hasn't

#

i just want to accompany her to heal

rancid stirrup
#

You will be locked into eden if you enter the hail area

wild marsh
#

The pop rocks rain

nova linden
#

oh

#

so ill have to exit before that

wild marsh
#

Yes

soft valve
#

POP ROCKS RAIN

nova linden
#

alright, thank you very much

#

ill keep an eye out for the pop rock rain 😛

slender veldt
#

Just exit in the Star hallway thing

wild marsh
#

Well don’t use your mouth out

nova linden
#

fpsjdksjfk i got locked in at statues 29-30-31

#

that's occasional pop rock ;-;

crisp pagoda
#

Got like 10-11 candles this run, yay! Close to unlocking all wasteland. I'm coming Eder hair!

paper nacelle
#

@nova linden to not get locked into eden you need to warp home before you enter the room with the statues/red rain. so, right at the last star in the hallway basically, otherwise you’re stuck there until you finish it 😅

nova linden
#

lesson learned, thank you

vagrant hill
#

About to enter eden... I really don’t wanna lose all my wing points lol

#

I’m scared how do I be prepared?

soft valve
#

HAVE U NEVER BEEN

vagrant hill
#

NO

#

I GOT THE GAME YESTERDAY IM ADDICTED AND NERVOUS

soft valve
#

OMG UR BABY

vagrant hill
#

I AM

soft valve
#

hmm i dont want to spoil it for you...

vagrant hill
#

okay so

#

I’m gonna go for it

soft valve
#

yes!

vagrant hill
#

pls pray for me lo

soft valve
#

i think it will be a more enjoyable experience if you dont know what happens

vagrant hill
#

okay!!!

#

be back

wintry bobcat
#

I just came here and huh....

restive dust
#

man it was so worth going into eden blind

soft valve
#

i found out what happens in eden before i went because of google, i wish i had gone in blind

wintry bobcat
#

I went blind

#

I thought I did it wrong the first time

narrow garden
#

I tried doing my first Eden run blind but I consulted a guide for tips on avoiding flying rocks and krill after getting knocked down too much 😔

soft valve
#

f

#

the krill have never been a problem for me, their pattern is too easy

#

other than the last one before the tunnel

narrow garden
#

I still haven't figured out that one either 😂😂

#

I'm getting slightly better with timings but the rocks and open space make me panic

rancid stirrup
#

That one isn’t too hard. You just have to wait for the rock wind and the krill light to line up right

soft valve
#

i just kinda run and pray

narrow garden
#

Ditto

rancid stirrup
#

Try waiting. For me it’s like the 3rd or 4th pass usually

narrow garden
#

It probably didn't help that I was hopping last time

rancid stirrup
#

No that doesnt help sScared

rich egret
#

Oh I actually have a consistent way of getting past that one

soft valve
#

getting that one child of light at the end and ur blood just rushes with adrenaline because you dont know how close the krill is >>>>

rich egret
#

So you know how there’s a little gate thing right before the final stretch to the tunnel

#

You wanna stand behind one of the broken pillars after that

#

When the krill goes right run up to the next checkpoint

rancid stirrup
#

That’s where I wait for the right timing

rich egret
#

You’ll have enough time to go to the tunnel AND get the star without being spotted

soft valve
rich egret
#

If you go up while it’s going left

#

Then rip

rancid stirrup
#

But gotta line up the rock wind with the krill passing

narrow garden
#

I'll keep that in mind for the next Eden ^^

soft valve
#

my favorite thing to do in eden is the most trivial stuff like placing down tables or playing piano as the pop rock rain pelts down

rancid stirrup
#

“...”

#

Your friend was not impressed xD

soft valve
#

THEY WERE TYPING T_T

rancid stirrup
#

Lol I know that

soft valve
#

but ur right it does look like that

rancid stirrup
#

Sometimes friend of mine troll me by typing “...............”

#

Gets me every time

soft valve
#

SJSDJDJJDD

narrow garden
#

Wow how mean sndndk

soft valve
#

I lovr this game

#

i was trying to find sky memes im so glad we have a channel

#

its such a niche thing to look up on google it doesnt WORK

narrow garden
#

Actually do you have any tips when you're walking on the beam inside the broken tower?
I noticed a friend waiting for a certain moment for the krill when they were giving me an Uber ride

vagrant hill
#

oh my lord

#

I was not ready for eden

#

I didn’t die

#

but

#

wow

soft valve
#

where are you

upper quarry
#

Anyone wanna do Eden with me?

outer oyster
#

doing the stanky leg 😔
(got ALL statues that run! That was close, had 3 stars left!)

scarlet scaffold
#

wait how many statues are there in total in eden

soft valve
#

64?

scarlet scaffold
#

and how many star kids are there in total

soft valve
#

not sure but ascended candles help

slender veldt
#

A KRILL WENT THROUGH THE WEIRD HAT BUILDING IN EDEN

#

And that’s never happened to me before!?!

soft valve
#

hes evolving

scarlet scaffold
#

;-;

slender veldt
#

Wish I had a video

#

I’ve gotten 40 star kids before

#

Just for perspective

#

Wait

#

Are you talking about dead people

#

Or stars?

scarlet scaffold
#

both

#

do i need to collect every star to revive them statues

slender veldt
#

No

#

They’re just to give you extra

#

There’s about 11 stars I think

scarlet scaffold
#

ah

nova linden
#

Tried to time the camera shift earlier and matched the center glow

#

Wished I could center the screen xD

slender veldt
#

You look like an octopus

#

reLEASE the KRAKEN

#

sorry

grand bramble
#

Hey guys how can you turn off the continuous rain

#

I know there's a way but I don't know how

grim flax
#

That's a bug and has already been fixed

undone dragon
#

it’s been fixed?

vocal gust
#

Yes it has

grand bramble
#

ah gotcha

tired orbit
#

Those crabs took two wings from me! Horrible! You cannot trust anyone in Eden.

restive dust
#

grim flax
#

crabs in Eden?

restive dust
#

i know theres some in one of the pipes

soft valve
#

you used to be able to turn off the rain... that sounds so nice...

rough dagger
gilded rain
#

Awww that sucks :(

outer oyster
#

Am I the only one that thinks that going to Eden alone is better?

gray geode
#

I haven’t been with anyone yet and I think I prefer it that way. You’re only responsible for your own safety then. 👍

undone dragon
#

^ yes. “you’re only responsible for your own safety”

fast lance
#

I went with a friend my first few times until I learned where everything was. Now i do best alone. Its faster and there isn’t anyone slowing you down. I get so much more candles going solo

lean robin
#

I can do all 63 statues in 1 Eden run while going solo, but I find it much more fufilling and overall enjoyable when doing it with others, while doing a solo feels almost like a chore. ^^;

indigo ibex
#

Did the glitch got fixed?

lean robin
#

Never checked ^^;

#

I'll probably end up checking sometime ^^;

indigo ibex
#

Me and my sister tried to do it but it didn’t work

lean robin
#

Hm, maybe then

#

Has it worked for you in past runs?

indigo ibex
#

Yea before the update

lean robin
#

I'll say yes for now then ^^;

#

I'll ping if it's any different for me ^^

indigo ibex
#

I appreciate it

undone dragon
#

it got fixed :(:)

#

:(:(*

tame jungle
#

Fixed lol

forest otter
#

If you go with a group of friends to eden, you can recharge each other with full calls while moving as a group. Hard to lose many lights to the rain if the group has good timing and enough people

#

You can get all 63 statues in 1 go that way without using any bugs

tame jungle
#

if only the eden candles can be traded for hearts

gray geode
#

Perhaps one day. 😦

tame jungle
#

next run would just be for stacking up candles

#

for that crown thing

winter relic
#

That would be awesome

#

Maybe every 5 or 10 eden candles would equal 1 heart

outer oyster
#

Is it weird I get a urge to run Eden again even though I literally ran it just 1-2 days ago?

wary shuttle
#

@outer oyster I have the same urge 🙂

outer oyster
#

I only have like 41 stars

#

Tbh I think part of it was that I manged to solo it so I feel more confident

#

I reached the end of the 2nd part :D

undone dragon
#

good for you :3

Since game went live, I've been on a sharing spree of 💛 with friends. Non-stop for about a whole season. This was possible by spending and sharing everything spent on Friends. Friends i got here on Discord. Friends i’ve helped on eden. Friends i play with everyday since day 1. THIS IS A SPOILER WARNING ⭐️ ENDGAME CONTENT * Do not open if you care about The Elders and Elder Collectibles* Thanks to all the friends who made it also possible ✨

vagrant hill
#

no one told me the coolest part of eden was death... ??? It’s so pretty what

tired orbit
#

what happens if i went to Eden just now and do not want to continue? And in less than 24hrs reset comes.

humble escarp
#

you could explore the area around eden.
have you found the shortcut in the busted pipe yet?
what about the hole you can't fall into?

lone flare
#

There’s a shortcut?? Also, I’m trying to get the elders from the Valley- do I just keep unlocking all the spirit’s stuff in that constellation?

humble escarp
#

You can go up the vertical pipe with a hole in it and skip the safe room area

#

short eden quote:
"once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. " - Haruki Murakami

restive dust
#

“when you come out the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in”

(me hoping i’ll be taller this time)

humble escarp
#

longer quote:
part 1:
Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn’t something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn’t get in, and walk through it, step by step. There’s no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That’s the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.

#

part 2:
An you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You’ll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.

#

and the shortened version is part 3

restive dust
#

oOOOHHH

humble escarp
#

was just now hanging out with a person in eden, never got their name, etc. but hopefully showed them a nice shortcut with the vertical pipe, also thanks for the table at the part where jumping is difficult

restive dust
#

with the shortcut, to you just fly up the pipe ?

humble escarp
#

it's kinda "mileage may vary"
I've seen people use it to get to the top pipe,
seen people use it to get to the broken pipe safe room easier

#

I'm thinking of, once I get the table (since its 100% likely to get stuck in pipe)
to use the table as a way to climb up the area and go around obstacles

restive dust
#

ahh

#

i started cutting over to the pipes that lead to the safe room, dunno how much time it saved but i recorded a climb that took 7-ish minutes

soft valve
#

i feel like it should not be THIS. IMPOSSIBLE. to get to two. statues

#

its so frustrating

slender veldt
#

Jumping makes you fall more

soft valve
#

oh thats what you meant

#

ugh

#

next time ig

restive dust
#

I'll bang pots and pans calling out not to jump in the storm everyday

humble escarp
#

@restive dust it depends on if there are other people or not. If you have the energy to go up and over, vs making it just to the safe room. If you don't have much energy, at lest making it to safety is 100% AOK

#

about the pipe thing

restive dust
#

ah ok

#

I have 9 wedges so i reckon that'd enough ahah

humble escarp
#

for crazy antics, maybe not. good use for antigrav spell though to be safe

#

(around the pipes)

restive dust
#

ah alright 👌

humble escarp
#

I have 97 wingpower and even I get stuck sometimes while exploring

#

wish we could flag little places so they could put little torches there

#

at least definitely in eden would be great

#

you guys know the big table in the vault OR the catapult

#

maybe on the mountain, places for people to use candles for other people to use

#

(how do the server even know if its used up after you leave an area?)

#

or do the candles just kinda wasted at that point?

austere moat
#

There’s a catapult?

humble escarp
#

in the wasteland

modern sleet
#

There is, and I never felt safe enough to use it. It’s in the graveyard area in wasteland

humble escarp
#

you have to use a candle to repair/use it

#

as long as you have enough wedges and time it right, you can use it to great benefit

restive dust
#

I've used it to launch my friends and both times I lose wings

austere moat
#

I never knew there was a catapult... which section is it in in wasteland?

modern sleet
#

Graveyard, where the 3 krill are

humble escarp
#

I would love to have little jars people can put candles it to recharge in places people get stuck easily

#

would probably have to test areas to find out where the best place to put them would be

#

I can think of at least 3

modern sleet
#

That’s a great idea though I think it’s really intended to play eden with other people and recharge off each other

humble escarp
#

sometimes people get swapped out of servers and you wind up stuck with no power to even jump your way out

#
  1. the mountains to the left of the watery krill area. the slopes are so steep, if you don't have enough power there's 0 way out.
  2. at the bottom of the pipes
  3. inside the broken vertical pipe (another 'no way to jump out if stuck' spot)

For eden do you just fill as many statues as you can in a single run? Or do the statues you already filled in that week carry over to another run in the same week?

the statues carry over until they reset on midnight saturday/sunday

Did the ratio of Fallen to Ascended Candles change in this update? I had 7 Fallen and made almost exactly just 1 Ascended Candle rather than nearly 2. I'm fine with it, but I'd like to know if I should follow up, I mean I've had multiple instances of having more than 1 regular candle accumulated and when I accept it the animation shows multiple candles but only 1 got added to my total (I haven't bothered filing a bug because I have no idea of any specifics to describe when it happens).

isn’t it 4 children = 1 candle?

4:1's what it's been, as far as I've seen people report here (I've never tracked mine closely enough to confirm for myself). So 7:1 would be a change, if that's actually what it used to be. As I said, I'm fine with it. As long as the full player base stays in sync I honestly don't really mind, and I have no interest in debating that point.

I ran Eden a bit ago today; I may be among the 1st to do so since the update if it hit later this week than most of the folks who like to run Eden twice for the week ASAP since last Sunday.

BTW, on the 15.75 vs 16 thing, I think the last 1/4 comes from the amount it gives you sometimes that happens right after the saved Fallen ascend but before you step forward to claim their stars into Ascended Candles, for any of you who've noticed that happening.

Oof eden is still the only thing making me angry when I play it, because it's not difficult- it's annoying. The physics of the water with how if you're technically "mid-air" makes it frustrating to play.

I can never get over that feeling when I'm in the storm. The game doesn't do what you want because the touch controls make it so floaty when there's wind. Combined with the storm knocking you down it's incredibly frustrating to navigate and you end up frustrated and angry because you want to light up the statues and save the kids, but you spend a lot of resources just going back and forth because the storm kills your light and removes stars from you.

It's obviously better than it's been, but this is the only videogame I play where I'm actually angry after completing the stage, because despite me doing a good job- I still feel like I did alright. It's just frustrating.

/rant

broken delta
#

My own objection to the level has always been that the game isn’t linear and therefore Eden makes no sense as a separate level. Unless of course, one sees the whole game as a cycle of life metaphor.

#

But of the many iterations I have played in beta, this is one of the better at least.

near forum
#

Expanded rant:

Just to be clear; it's not like there's a culmination of all the skills you've learned throughout the game from flying, platforming and traversing rain and other elements in the previous stages.

Because there is no real progression taking what the player has learned there is no coherent way for the player to feel they are in a challenging environment that if they pay attention and time it well, they will make it or get to the end.

There is just random frustration because the storm intervals are random, and even when you get to the end water after the sand dune, there is nothing removing your light and stars- so the intention from the developers is that the storm is supposed to kill you.

Relying on one thing to do all the work without taking into account that the player has learned something from playing the game makes for a very, very poor end level experience. To be honest it's pretty garbage.

There could even be a sense of "get from place A to B" using good timing and light a set of statues or the correct statues to progress the stage, but it's just a free roam trying to dodge the storm, which recently has gotten (from my experience) more inconsistent intervals- which increases the frustration because your skill matters even less.

#

It actually goes against what you've learned previously. You learn to get through the rain in the Hidden Forest by running and jumping, and throughout the game you figure out that the fastest way to travel on the ground is through running and jumping.

In Eden, you get knocked down from the storm when you run and jump, which is completely backwards and destroys the players confidence in their own skills.

It's widely know and debated how luck is a bad factor in games. In Hearthstone, Blizzards cardgame there was a lot of controversy as many cards made it up to luck to win. Eventually they made a "classic mode" or something similar where they made a core set of cards and decks which put big constraints on what cards can be played, to limit luck and maintain player skill.

#

@broken delta It definitely is, but it's strange that they still haven't changed the stage to reflect some kind of master over the games movement at least

#

The storm is literally "run when you think it's safe and wish for the best gl"

#

I've been hoping they would make changes after the game went live but it's still the same

modern sleet
#

In the end it's better to just play safe and skip some statues that are hard to reach so you can rush to the safe zone. Then play eden again to get what you missed

near forum
#

Unfortunately that's the solution to get them all.

However, it is baffling that they haven't found a solution to the stage when the game is about "the experience" and feelings.

When you try to push and do better you get knocked down and pushed back. Literally.

broken delta
#

You make some very good points @near forum

#

It was always my “pet peeve” with the level: there is no logical reason to go through it, other than to collect special candles. (And those weren’t even there until the very last version in beta.)

#

I mean imagine if they put in small points where you need to use emotes to "soothe the gods" or something, where at the statues you light up you have to use Pray, Wave and different emotes to make the next storm pass less harsh, or to actually unlock more kids to save

I agree with that. It's always felt weird

broken delta

I know it gets repetitive to mention Journey, but the level designs are so similar it’s difficult not to: the difference being that you must walk through them all in Journey to complete the game.

It loses much of its charm after the first time. When I first went through eden I was heartbroken. Even stronger finale than journey. After that it's a grind

#

It feels like they noticed that people weren’t doing the Eden/Storm level and so they added the unlocks through ascended candles to “force” players through it.

#

Or is that mean of me to suggest? 🙃

near forum
#

Sadly; and this is a huge point:

The storm in Eden didn't frustrate me when I used the glitch. Through that method you through cunning and literally besting the game, circumvent the storm and straight forward remove the frustrating element which is pure bs, resulting in a gathering of the last kids you need to save and then you choose to take the death. I felt great about it, both as a way to get all the statues but more importantly; to complete the game. I didn't die from frustration; I would choose to enter the storm again and die with it.

Imagine if they put that in as a player choice!

If they allow the storm to be bested, the player feels mastery of the game and a sense of progression, and they get to make the choice(the only choice) to end the stage "together" with the game as a reconciliation of skill where the end is inevitable and they must die.

#

The game will have to be repeated over and over anyways, but they're really missed the mark.

modern sleet
#

My ideal version of eden would be like this: you go through again and again dying and getting stronger every time, but when you manage to collect all winged light you are able to barely make it through the storm and ascend one last time, leading to a true ending where you don't die

limber cloak
#

The only thing I disagree with is your assertion that the storm intervals are pure luck. I've gotten a lot better at timing it and getting to the next safe point, so much so that I generally only lose 2 to 5 stars before reaching the last bit where the storm never relents.

You are correct that it doesn't utilize anything learned on the way there, though. Eden is basically a different game with a different skill set.

I keep getting fudged up in eden, the explody red stuff breaks me, so it’ll be a while before I can do other stuff.

That's a fair point @limber cloak I could just be feeling it's random when it's not. I'll have to see when I go again next time.

They even have the heart gifting system, a lot of the game is built on empathy and experience of life, where the stages represent stages of life.

The fact that they haven't added an element of choice and empathy for Eden, where if you're able to master the various parts of the game, get ahead of the storm or stop it somehow(emotes, pinging, flying or being smart with use of candlelight, etc); you could make the choice to end it amicably instead of dying to the rage.

broken delta
#

I do wonder why Eden has to be so violent, in a way.

near forum
#

A gameplay element that frustrates as well is that when you hold to go forward and you get knocked down, let's say you jumped: You have to redo your forward move on the touch controls.

If it was a controller you could just hold forward normally and your kid would get up, but in Sky you have to redo the thing and it breaks your idea of "but I'm holding forward"

limber cloak
#

And Starflame, adding to your point of inconsistency, you learn early in Eden that the sound of thunder and howling wind means that rocks are going to start hurtling towards you. In the final stage, you hear the same sounds but they don't coincide with the storm intervals anymore. That took me a long time to realize and unlearn. No wonder it feels frustrating.

The saddest is how the game follows a really nice path throughout the various stages but then they completely throw game science out the window for the final moment.

#

Yeah, same here @limber cloak I felt I was just really bad at the game for a while and then it hit me that everything disconnects in Eden and it's just "try to survive but nothing you do will make sense"

Maybe the simplest way to improve would be to make it a flying level where you slowly lose your wing and end up on the ground, die, and ascend up to see all the statues you saved around you

I think you may be conflating mechanical issues with thematic ones. They are connected, sure, but a level that needs gameplay tuning doesn't mean its intent is misplaced.

near forum
#

That's a good point. I usually feel the end stage is a culmination of all things learned and taught so far, so that in order to "make it" you should at least use the elements you now know

#

The way Eden is so backwards in that sense breaks my trail of thought for how it should be, because of the increasing frustration through the level.

broken delta
#

I think that since there is no outspoken storyline, and therefore your Sky kid doesn't have a character arc, having what is essentially an open world with some fun, but repetitive challenges leading to a stage where you sacrifice your abilities and die makes no sense to me.

#

If I didn't care for any of the higher level spirit cosmetics, I could play the game on...is it 5 wedges of wing power quite happily and never visit Eden.

#

There has to be a stronger incentive to go through Eden than just to buy cosmetics and level up friendships, because those things are superficial and not necessary to gameplay.

modern sleet
#

Well for me it's mainly ascended candles. I think when I max out my wing I will lose all interest in eden

near forum
#

To me it does make some sense as the red thread of "Save the children of light" and then having to sacrifice yourself to do so in the process does fit the bill.

However, the way Eden is constructed breaks the thought process of that. If they added the element of choice instead of forced .. damnation..? It would feel a lot better.

I would be much more okay having been told "You saved all the children here but the burden is too much to carry for you. Sacrifice yourself to ascend with the children?".
At least then you feel there is a need for the action of losing your powers. I'm not sure what that would go against jenovas thought process of the game, but as this is way more of a traditional videogame, I don't feel it breaks the cycle to have a more traditional final level.

The ascended candles don't really have any significance either versus hearts, so it's not like doing eden is important at all really.

#

Imagine if you had to do Eden to gain the ability to gift hearts

#

"You have yet to reach the Light, the gift of giving still eludes you" maybe?

modern sleet
#

The greatest example of self sacrifice comes with nier automata. Won't spoil if you haven't played though

#

Something that would be even better would be that yes- you gift hearts for candles.

But only by going to "The Light" could you actually redeem them.

#

I'm sure they've thought about this.

#

That would make Eden a neccessary element, and even going several times a week could be fine for most

It would also teach patience somewhat? If you have 25 hearts and you want to wait for 5 more so you could get a cape and a new hair cosmetic

The game philosophy of what's shown to you is that. Experience the game, collect the things, make friends.

But they present this currency and say it's the most important, but you don't need it at all unless you want all the stuff.

Personally I agree with your points about mechanics but my own experience of the game has felt very strong thematically and philosophically. I believe it's deliberately bucking expectations of a final level, and does so successfully, but it could stand to be less frustrating.

I don't think a choice in the matter of self sacrifice or death would be appropriate given my reading of the game from the standpoint of forgiveness, generosity, and self sacrifice. But of course that's much more subjective than a discussion about controls or level design patterns.

broken delta

I think we can agree that the level doesn't feel quite finished yet.

First part is timing, second part is stick to the left, krill part is run when krill passes, last part is a mix of both. That part feels good as in the beginning it's challenging and fresh, and as you master it you have yourself to thank for it.

Strictly mechanically speaking, the fact that in a game about flying there is none of it in the final level is problematic

I think that's a good way of putting it @limber cloak . It does the job as a stage, but how it does it could be more satisfying overall.

I've said before that I'd like to see Eden become the start of a new cycle once we see new content come. After all, we literally turn around in Orbit and come back for another shot.

So imagine finishing Eden, and you come back to a new or drastically changed set of levels. That would give incentive beyond currency to make it through, and would allow players to see the world in a different light

Most definitely! There's no flying against the storm and the storm becoming too harsh

grand ferry
#

thinking about journey is the easiest way to evaluate storm

near forum
#

Imagine if you save all the kids. Awesome

Then you fly up but the storm makes it hard and you die mid-air

#

That would solve the issue imo

grand ferry
#

what differences you felt in this two game

limber cloak
#

@modern sleet I agree, except that the game is a cycle. You begin and end without flight.

@grand ferry exactly, the emotional experience is key here

ps4 version is the best

It was free on ps plus at some point

get a ps4 and save sony

modern sleet

That's how I got it

it doesn't suck...much, it's just a little harder to play control-wise

#

Technically the PC version is "the best" but imo sitting in the couch by yourself or with a friend, really enjoying the game vs sitting at your pc chair, is a big difference. So PS4 version has a big pull for that

grand ferry
#

i played pc version once it was out

#

and i stopped before i finish the first level

#

aka the intro

broken delta
#

what does the couch have to do with it...?

near forum
#

But back to the Eden topic; I will always feel Eden and Orbit is an unfinished part of the game until Ascended Candles actually mean something and Eden becomes less frustrating.

Because after your second, potentially third time completing Eden you don't need to go there anymore because there isn't anything you need to do there to progress other parts of the game, or to unlock features.

To compare it to Journey, there is no white cape in Sky.

#

That's just a personal preference @broken delta It's more enjoyable to sit in the couch with friends vs you alone on your pc. Even with a nice pc chair I relax better in a couch.

broken delta
#

@near forum you mean for PS4? I have like a gaming/computer table with chairs, so I can only play Sky on the couch with my phone.

near forum
#

Exactly

#

Most people have the PS4 connected to their TV and not on a computer setup

grand ferry

personally, i feel more like appreciating a game on console and killing my time on phones and pc

@near forum @limber cloak So if I’m reading your suggestions correctly (and adding my own interpretations), what do you think of this suggestion?

After you successfully light all the statues at eye of Eden, instead of being forced to succumb to the storm as all there’s left, let there be a message telling you something like “You have saved all the stars here! But the storm is too strong alone.” (Since you have to do that last part yourself) “Sacrifice yourself and ascend with the stars you saved.” These messages only appear after you’ve successfully returned the light to all children (before a reset).

Upon doing so, you will ascend with all the star children instead, joining up with them instead where the waving scene is usually, and you will fly up with them. There would be a new cutscene, and this is when some new stages unlock, or maybe like a level 2 of the current stages.

This could be a way to add more content and progression to the game, while trying to incorporate what you two have mentioned. I’m not sure if I’ve added much, but this is what I envisioned it might look like. What do you think?

#

I’m not sure what would happen in the next “Eden” after this, besides incorporating more flying like someone else suggested. I’m also not sure if this breaks this circular cycle like I think the devs intended to keep, without suggesting like an endgame nirvana?? Maybe a nirvana that somehow indicates that what is left is helping others reach it. I’m at a loss afterwards.

#

(Oh also in-case it wasn’t clear, in my version of suggestion, you still have to die to ascend with the other star children. So keeping the self-sacrifice theme)

what do you do with left over ascended candles

@vast plinth Those are good points, I think that as long as eden changes into something that frustrates less and uses the normal gameplay to incorporate skill instead of blind luck or plain perseverance it will be good.

It's only one of the two parts that makes Eden work. In the beginning you're led to believe Eden is the most important place. But as you play.. it becomes nothing more than a place to get more wing power.

Keeping the gameplay loop TGC wants is important I guess. All we can do is discuss and speculate. I wish the devs read this channel as well and not just the suggestions channel.

Especially because there haven't been any news to them trying anything new with Eden. It seems as they're happy with it and that's just really strange. Seasons are nice and all but if there's no items or quests that require ascended candles.. why do Eden more than the 4-5 times you would need to get all the wing nodes?

Maybe we'll see a change towards next year. Who knows

#

After I ascended all my spirits (even the wave and cry twice), I should start with 39 stars after I rebirth? Is this number correct?

I want to make sure because the last time I ran through Eden the spirits glitched and wasn’t added to my cape and I don’t want that to happen

that .25 is included in 15.75
