Ocean Guide

[timber elm]

Full Guide for Cleaning the Ocean is now available on Steam!!! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3041683118

Both my maps (Diving Pathing & Ocean Critter Spawn Zones) I'm including here, so that this thread can be the main reference point for ocean related inquiries

Bump discord this post isn’t even old yet pls just keep it showing on my list

[cunning gust]

Hello, Bee. Does it still need crops or milk to unlock certain areas?

In older version of the game, we need to give certaim crop to sea animal.

[timber elm]

No, those are no longer required to continue progress while diving

[obsidian apex]

You dont know how much this helps me

thank you so much!

[cunning gust]

Okay thank you for your info

Hi - someone sent me over here. I am having problems with these two and was told they are wonky. I can't get the root to retreat any further but when i got back to these two they are all blocked off

OK - looks like I missed one, will try to unlock to see if that works It did nto work. Officially have all the others gold but the two in the middle are blocked off to one cide and the root will not retreate (way at the top right). NO other instructions except "heal the coral tree"

[long moat]

ok I jsut found a ittle beam thing not on the map so i'm going to see what that does and poike around to see if there are more unmarked ones - maybe that is it? It wasnt that but it seems to be open now

[fringe tusk]

I feel like I cleared out all the garbage I could in the one 50m area but can’t find the stone to advance anyone else have that?

[lunar minnow]

@timber elm where is the 20m Mid at?

[timber elm]

That’s an unconfirmed spawn zone from my last testing (critter spawns weren’t active in 20m mid or 20m entrance in v0.5)

However, I suspect, if it’s all fixed, the 20m mid is below seahorse (so between seahorse & herding)
& then 20m entrance would be the section right at the gate

im having the same exact issue, did you figure out what it was that you were missing?

[merry fjord]

How did you do that? I have the exact same issue

[merry fjord]

Nevermind, for some reason it opened a few days later

[inner python]

That is exactly where I am having trouble too! I managed to clear the one on the left, but for the life of me I cannot clear the one on the right. I am about to give up on this game...

[inner python]

Whee! I gave it one last shot - cleared some spawned trash in the area and finally uncovered the activator. I can now progress to the last area. Thank you Trazyn for giving me hope.

[stark moon]

Anyone else having issues with the roots not retreating for this part? It's the only way to move onto the next area 🥲

[indigo quarry]

Scroll to the top of this thread where you will find the ocean map with pathing instructions

[stark moon]

I'm in the bit leading to the purple section. This is the direction I have to travel like in the map at the top....

[indigo quarry]

Did you try getting all up in the roots? Sometimes you have to get all the way in to trigger them to move

[stark moon]

In the video that's me pushing up, it won't let me go any closer

[timber elm]

When those red X appear blocking you from moving forward that is because you haven’t restored every orb in the gold area
Return to the mid area, you very likely are missing an orb in mid left

[timber elm]

bumping bc i keep not finding this LOL

[timber elm]

The Coral Oracle is still recovering from very sick IRL

-# not acutely sick anymore, but I’m NOT better yet

Guides/maps/spreadsheets etc etc all resources the updated versions (& new things) will be posted as soon as I can once I’m better

[vale hatch]

hope you'll feel better soon !

[lunar minnow]

feel better soon!

[clever iron]

Question I have cleaned this area and still cannot find the device

Lima pulu

[timber elm]

As per the pathing map, the third orb isn’t located directly at the shrines -> paths will have opened to the north, follow that & clean up & you’ll end up looping that entire top most zone

Well, somewhat as per the pathing map, definitely as per the linked Steam guide bc in there I have it all broken down section by section 😉

[timber elm]

-# bump

[timber elm]

-# map update IS on to do list. NO, I will not be adding the underwater farm to my main edits. Unnecessary imo.

[blissful python]

I am unable to progress, with the map! Help? I cannot clear this node because I literally can’t find the power gem, and all the trash in the area is cleared (the dark squiggles are blocked by sludge). I have no where I can go!

Help??

It’s totally clean! ☹️

[timber elm]

I’d let the trash respawn for a full in game week
Then return and clear again for orb respawn
Definitely with audio / headphones etc - the audio cue when it spawns is always what I notice first, then I scan my cursor around for the activate prompt

[blissful python]

🫣 My neurodivergent 🫏 doesn’t like to listen to the game music. I’ve got 94 hours on this game and I didn’t know there was a noise (because I’ve listened to zero BGM?).

I may need to suck it up next go round.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’m going to try it! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[vale hatch]

the sound effect do can help you locate the orb , sometime its sneaky and spawned behind a giant kelp/ coral reef

[blissful python]

😭 Nothing respawned after a week.

[blissful python]

Is there a way to make the orb move? Like, do we know the respawn (if a thing), for sure?

[blissful python]

It’s been three weeks in game and not a single piece of trash has respawned in the area. 🙁

[sick garnet]

Have you reloaded the game. Sometimes if you’ve been playing for a long time it can make things wonky.

[blissful python]

I have reloaded, reinstalled, and restarted my steam deck multiple times: 🙁

[dusk ferry]

I just unlocked the second area, got the 2.0 suit, and activated the first 3 shrines but everywhere else is blocked. The indicated path at the bottom still has black vines

[serene wharf]

Follow the image in the original post; that should get you where you need to go.

[dusk ferry]

Thank you. Note to the devs, don't make the object that is a known barrier that only moves when shrines are activated all of a sudden require the shrines to be activated and you to ALSO go right up to it. I thought it was closed this whole time because I didn't get close enough. Lol

[rustic oyster]

Hi I’m trying to locate gator gar?

[timber elm]

.. not in the ocean 😅
