sage dawn
#

Oh you didn't shuffle those

#

I'm dumb lol

#

Yeah boomerang basically just lets you finish jabu then

midnight depot
#

I needed 30 for the last blocking reward

#

And I can't enter Jabu Jabu's belly in the first place

#

So I guess I'm still in BK mode

sage dawn
#

Looks like it then yeah

midnight depot
#

Ah well, back to Hollow Knight

weary lagoon
#

Minecraft is saved

weary lagoon
#

Using a hint to find out its just another thing locked behind lullaby ThumbsUp

#

HUGE rutos letter for flitter

midnight depot
#

What's it do?

weary lagoon
#

2 skulltulas and all of jabu jabu

#

which has wccts ocarina

midnight depot
#

Oh finally

ancient harness
#

Great, the msot useless medallion

#

I'm growing a hatred for the fire temple

ancient harness
#

One charm for Flitter

midnight depot
#

That's 33!

#

Bow for artiks

ancient harness
#

Bow upgrade

#

Also thanks to me

#

Anyway BK mode, and I redid everything I lost

midnight depot
#

Nice work

sage dawn
#

Full clearing fire temple without farore's wind sucks

ancient harness
#

I don't even know or understand how Farore's Wind makes it easier, I just know I hate Fire Temple

#

Water, Forest and Spirit are fine

#

Shadow may be my most hated, but it's either a tie or a close race with Fire

sage dawn
#

If you fall down the shaft you can use it to get back up, because when you cast it, the return point is set to the last door you used

clear summit
#

That is one of the worst advancements, I am glad it's virtually useless

#

I don't have to summon wither

#

Huge relief

#

I feel like a lot of hard or annoying advancements are just few rupees for yay

#

-Escape the Ender Island (post-dragon) : Bolero of Fire for wcct
-Construct and place a Beacon : Deku Stick for wcct

midnight depot
#

You have the option for disabling hard and impossible advancements

#

So I think they'll all have trash

clear summit
#

Maybe that's how it works. I got Bullseye advancement which gave me 25 pones iirc, and that is a "hard advancement" according to minecraft itself

#

Although I don't know if Archipelago counts it as hard

midnight depot
#

Hm

clear summit
#

wcct's Bolero of Fire being post-dragon is unfortunate

#

I am pretty sure I also disabled "post-boss advancements", but I guess it has some weird logic or smth because I have structure randomiser

midnight depot
#

If you want I can tell you whether impossible or hard ones have trash or not by looking at the spoiler file

#

It seems fair since you explicitly turned them off

clear summit
#

It's fine, I'm gonna do hella Sudokus anyway

#

So I will eventually learn

midnight depot
#

What's Sudoku do?

clear summit
#

It randomly shows what item one of my locations(advancements) have

#

when I clear a sudoku

midnight depot
#

Oh!

clear summit
clear summit
#

Ok most items are trivial, I shouldn't really care about them

clear summit
#

yikes

#

The advancement is opening a chest in a bastion remnant

#

I checked with compass, it is in neither overworld nor nether

#

Which means it's a post-dragon advancement

midnight depot
#

Sounds fun

#

What do you need to kill the ender dragon with relative ease?

clear summit
#

I mean I need brewing to even access it

#

I can probably beat it with beds if I can access it

#

lemme see if I can use a hint, I think I can

#

ok my Brewing is under 50 skulltula of yay

midnight depot
#

Well

sage dawn
#

Oh shit

#

Was shutting down to go to bed but figured I'd check in real quick

#

Will get that for you one sec

clear summit
#

If I'm lucky it'll be a breeze after getting Brewing

#

if not I may struggle a bit

#

I have exactly 12 ender pearls

sage dawn
#

I mean what are the chances of finding a 0 pearl portal

clear summit
#

Which means if at least one of them fails and I have 0-filled portal, it may take me a while

sage dawn
#

Are potions required to kill the dragon with these settings or is it just to make it easier?

clear summit
#

The frame has the highest probability of generating with only one eye of ender (37.7%), with probabilities dropping to 28.2% for zero, 23.0% for two, 8.52% for three, 2.13% for four, and a total of 0.433% for five or more.

#

I can't make blaze powders without Brewing

sage dawn
#

OH

#

I didn't know that

#

Well you have brewing now

clear summit
#

Cool

sage dawn
#

You gonna give bed strats or a shot or play it safe?

clear summit
#

I think I'll go for bed strats, I can't craft diamond stuff

sage dawn
#

Hell yeah

clear summit
#

Gonna watch some speedrun tutorials

sage dawn
#

My favorite part about randomizers is learning new speedrun strats without the pressure of actual runs

#

Hence why I keep offering to teach some basic OoT tricks to Wcct lol

clear summit
#

Oh shit this is bad

#

I lost my eye of ender

sage dawn
#

Shit

#

Good luck

clear summit
#

I didn't realize it would be this hard to track a flying eye of ender

sage dawn
#

Yeah it is surprisingly difficult sometimes

#

At least endermen should have a slightly higher spawn rate by the time you hit the fortress just because of your distance from spawn

midnight depot
#

I love learning speedrunning tricks. I'm excited to do some on my future OoT runs

sage dawn
#

Oh shit I'd love to teach you some, Flitter.

midnight depot
#

Then you'd have to play the next Archipelago run with me

sage dawn
#

I've played every run so far

midnight depot
#

Yeah! I'm glad you did

sage dawn
#

Would definitely be down for the next one

#

Might pick less overwhelming settings next time though lol

#

Also we should probably figure out what everyone needs for go mode at this point. I imagine most of us are getting close

midnight depot
#

Good idea. Let me hint for my two other dreamers

#

They're uh

#

Monomon, Lurien, and

#

Herrah!

#

Ah woops, ran out of hints

#

[Hint]: FlitterHK's Lurien is at Dead Bird Studio Basement - Logo Wall in Chip1's World at The Subcon Well. (not found) @fierce vale

weary lagoon
#

I need 4 triforce pieces

sage dawn
#

I need four more dungeon completions, and a way into Zora's Domain. The main thing holding me back here is that for the dungeons where I have boss keys, I can't actually access the boss doors with my current trick skill level. Water requires light bridge (15 heart containers) and longshot, shadow requires ZL to ride the boat, and Spirit needs one more small key I think. I need boomerange to beat barinade in jabu. So I basically need a decent assortment of ZL, boomerang, and small keys/boss keys

#

I am further away than I thought lol

weary lagoon
#

You can get to Morpha without longshot I did it yesterday with hoverboots

#

its free

clear summit
#

I could not find my stronghold trixiesad

midnight depot
#

Ah well

fierce vale
midnight depot
#

Great!

fierce vale
#

though chip2 might need some more yarn

clear summit
#

Am keep trying some sudokus, most advancements I have are useless as shit which is a huge relief

#

But I'm pretty sure I will eventually have to grab that Lift Key for Chipmon

fierce vale
#

henlo, lift key would be nice

clear summit
#

Well wish me my luck for trident drop then

fierce vale
#

rdsnrk and by nice i mean "lift key is a mandatory progression item" so i shall very much be wishing you luck

midnight depot
#

Good morning. Time to explore Jabu Jabu's belly

ancient harness
#

Holy hell. Is today the day I get an Ocarina

#

I have like 10 of the 12 songs, it would be huge

#

Oh wait you don't have a boomerang

#

@sage dawn Here's my other Ocarina
[Hint]: Wcctnoam's Ocarina is at GC Medigoron Pot in yay899's World. (not found)

midnight depot
#

I do have the boomerang

#

As soon as I actually figure out how to actually find Jabu Jabu, I'll be there

#

Oh!

#

You have to take your bunny ears off or the king will just laugh at you

midnight depot
#

Time piece for Chip1

fresh hill
#

overall, how far into this archipelago are we now?

midnight depot
#

Two thirds done

fresh hill
#

maybe next time I'll do multiple games to "make up" for missing this one

fierce vale
#

doing multiple games is fun

midnight depot
#

As long as you're sure you won't burn out

fierce vale
#

i dont knwo if i'd wanna do it for something like hollow knight, but simpler games like hatty time and pokemon is fine

fresh hill
#

well this time I was burnt out before the thing even started so I had to skip it, but that had nothing to do with games

midnight depot
#

Hollow Knight is a simple game

fierce vale
#

twiverycool but i am far simpler a person

fresh hill
#

Hollow Knight is also more punishing than some of those other games

midnight depot
#

All you have to do is find all three dreamers to win the game

#

You could mod it to make it less punishing

fresh hill
#

I think Pokemon is more "complicated", although like most RPG-adjacent games a veteran probably ignores 90% of it and follows a fairly simple strat

fierce vale
#

rdsnrk yeah, but i haven't played it as much relative to the others so i dont know the map as well

midnight depot
#

That's what the Archipelago map mod is for

fierce vale
#

pokemon red is just like, fundamentally broken, so you can just rip it apart as much or as little as you want

midnight depot
#

Shows you the whole map with every check (with an option for hiding it until you buy the map from Cornifer)

fresh hill
#

I did HK here as a 2nd playthrough and it was great, but this probably just means we're looking for different experiences out of a randomizer

fierce vale
#

i've only really done a cave skip and the silphscope skip

fresh hill
#

e.g. for me the whole point of the randomizer is to no longer "know" anything but the core movement/combat mechanics

midnight depot
#

Is there a mod to play as Ruto instead of Link? She's cuter

fresh hill
#

since I've long since forgotten map details

fierce vale
#

its gonna be fun with emerald, which i might do next time ( i might do pokemon red+emerald+hat in time, if more people do more games i'd consider doing hollow knight or ds3 or some other longer more open game, but 4 games might be to many even for me)

fresh hill
#

atm I'm thinking by the time we get to a 3rd of these, I'll want to do Blasphemous + Link to the Past

#

and by then I might've (finally) played Hat in Time

#

(wonder how much Blasphemous 2 + Link Between Worlds will confuse me for that)

midnight depot
#

I have acquired Wcctnoam's ocarina

#

Oh, and the shadow medallion

#

Having three medallions means I can do trials

ancient harness
#

Ocarina stpc_pppog

midnight depot
#

And my light arrows were one rupee for yay

#

All right. That's enough for today

#

It's surprising to me how many of these checks I can do despite not having essential items still

ancient harness
#

@weary lagoon Horseback archery whenever you want

midnight depot
#

Nice

clear summit
#

ngl I feel like I can do 5 RoR2

#

But not minecraft

midnight depot
#

I don't think you should do one risk of rain

clear summit
#

RoR2 honestly you cam do however many you want

midnight depot
#

Please don't though

clear summit
#

I think I'll probably take a rest from Archipelago after this game

#

I don't have plan to play oot or pokemon and I have no plan to buy a game for this so I have to figure out what game I wanna play later

midnight depot
#

Understandable. You're welcome to join again at any time

#

If you're interested in any steam games on the list I can check if I have a DRM-free copy you can use

clear summit
#

Thanks, I'll think about it

fierce vale
#

you can also check the diacord for games with pull requests against them which should be safe to join on

#

a hat in time is in a similar state, though ive had to add a couple of mods to fix bugs(stuff like forcing the mail delivery badge into my inventory, and force completing a level that checks correctly, but didnt get marked as done, both of which got fixed a patch later, and are pretty easy to fix with prevision)

#

though none of the PR games bar terraria seem to be your cup of tea

ancient harness
#

Alright, that was semi-productive BotW

#

My next and probably last big blocker is Zelda's Lullaby

ancient harness
#

Triforce for Flitter

ancient harness
#

I don't even know what room that is

#

Oh Big Knife goron

sage dawn
#

Yeah

ancient harness
sage dawn
#

Sorry for missing that. I've been able to do that pretty much since the beginning

ancient harness
#

Np, honestly I wouldn't know that pot existed either

#

I guess this was supposed to be my first ocarina and not Flitter's

sage dawn
#

Yeah

#

I'll get it for you once work calms down

weary lagoon
#

Why did you hint your 2nd ocarina

#

it doesnt do anything

ancient harness
#

Because Flitter's wasn't happening

#

And for some reason the first time I hinted the Ocarina I only got one of them

weary lagoon
#

didnt flitter get it today

#

@ancient harness archery time?

ancient harness
#

Real. Let me set up, join me in VC

weary lagoon
#

this is gonna be great dinner entertainment

#

thats how the grindset is..

#

Last time you tried to stream your own rando it didnt work 02shrug

#

much better

fierce vale
#

[Hint]: Chip1's Relic (Cake Slice) is at KF Storms Grotto Chest in @sage dawn 's World at Hyrule Field -> HF Inside Fence Grotto. (not found)
henlo, this please

weary lagoon
#

HERE WE GO BAYBI

sage dawn
#

Will do

fierce vale
#

holy shit am i a dumbass, i thought a check required the umbrella that didn't and had basically a chapter locked behind it UraWheeze

weary lagoon
#

this is really hard

#

@ancient harness one check for 1000 one for 1500

#

oomg

ancient harness
fierce vale
#

CattoCry i coulda got this like hour 1 of pokemon rather than basically completing it

#

gosh darn it me

weary lagoon
#

poooooooooog

#

ty I needed those

#

keyring is like 4 chests?

ancient harness
#

Yeah probably

#

I know I already did the rest of GTg

#

It's nice to have every GTG key at once. No wrong doors

weary lagoon
#

the only way you can pick the wrong door is going to the right at the start

ancient harness
#

[Hint]: Wcctnoam's Zeldas Lullaby is at Spirit Temple Child Climb East Chest in Artiks's World at Kakariko Village -> Bottom of the Well. (not found)

weary lagoon
#

another person with something important behind my song of storms ICANT

weary lagoon
#

@sage dawn you probably know this.. If bottom of the well entrance is my spirit temple, does that mean all of the adult checks in spirit temple are barren?

sage dawn
#

They open up several entrances with that setting to both ages. Fire gets opened to child, and deku and well both get open for adult.

#

The only really age locked entrances are forest, ganon's castle, jabu, and ice cavern.

#

At least glitchless

#

Also I learned a new way to use low grav iron boots to skip two keys in forest and I am proud of myself uwu

#

Even though I learned it to avoid learning a precise megaflip that is significantly faster

#

Although I do appear to need those keys for two pots so with my current settings it's not a full clear

#

But it's a pretty much full clear

weary lagoon
#

I wonder if Flitter found zeldas lullaby today

midnight depot
#

Only one way to find out

weary lagoon
#

im actually going to die from 12 hearts with all these traps

#

ppenk Thought you guys had gone ham today but I only got a boss key

midnight depot
#

I didn't find Zelda's lullaby. I found an ice trap

#

Now it's time for me to do the trials

weary lagoon
#

trying to figure out my path but I think im just locked behind you getting my longshot

#

Have you talked to the altar in the temple of time to see where your forest medallion is?

midnight depot
#

No, I had no idea I could do that

#

Let me do that real quick

weary lagoon
#

You should do that and then come back with the good news of it not being in the shadow temple because your nocturne requires 3 spiritual stones

midnight depot
#

This altar?

weary lagoon
#

yeah

midnight depot
#

Oh I probably need to do it as child because it's not telling me

weary lagoon
#

when you do it as child it tells you where the stones are, adult tells you medallions

#

you must have turned it off

midnight depot
#

Ah well

#

Either way, Ganon's Castle is the only location available

weary lagoon
#

you cant do the fire temple boss with megaton hammer and boss key?

midnight depot
#

Maybe there's a skip I could do!

weary lagoon
#

what are your key settings

#

in dungeon?

midnight depot
#

Yes

weary lagoon
#

then theres nothing stopping you from doing everything in the fire temple

midnight depot
#

Tracker says fuck you you can't do it

weary lagoon
#

oh wait you have no hookshot?

#

thats fked

midnight depot
#

No

weary lagoon
#

wheres your hookshot..

midnight depot
#

In your Graveyard Royal Familys Tomb Chest

weary lagoon
#

thats my hookshot in your graveyard royal familys tomb chest

#

the one im stuck behind

midnight depot
#

Oh!

#

Well I have no clue then

#

I need three more points to hint for it

weary lagoon
#

did the forest medallion hint go through

midnight depot
#

No, I decided I don't want to go for it

weary lagoon
#

thats smart its at the end of a dungeon anyway

midnight depot
#

That's everything in Ganon's Castle

#

It wa sall treash

ancient harness
#

Do you have hoverboots?

midnight depot
#

Not yet

#

[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Progressive Hookshot is at ZR GS Tree in yay899's World. (not found) @sage dawn

#

What's ZR GS Tree?

#

Zora's River

weary lagoon
#

Zoras river gold skulltula in a tree

midnight depot
#

Oh okay

#

That should be easy!

weary lagoon
#

yeah its sphere 0

midnight depot
#

Well you need to be able to reach Zora's river

weary lagoon
#

No the tree is before the boulders

midnight depot
#

I mean you have to be able to get out of Kokiri forest

weary lagoon
#

maybe its sphere 1 because you need something to kill the spider

midnight depot
#

The golden gauntlet pillar lifting ability is stupid

#

What am I, the hulk?

weary lagoon
#

๐Ÿ’ช

midnight depot
#

The 50 skulltula reward is just a single rupee

weary lagoon
#

Yeah but all 100 is infinite rupees

midnight depot
#

Time for me to learn a skip. Is reverse wasteland hard?

weary lagoon
#

No just follow what someone on youtube is doing

midnight depot
weary lagoon
#

I dunno I havent done that

#

does your tracker say you cant do more in the spirit temple?

midnight depot
#

Correct

weary lagoon
#

kinda weird

ancient harness
#

That looks accurate

midnight depot
weary lagoon
#

Only 3 checks when you can open up both child and adult side

midnight depot
#

I did those

#

Okay, the tracker map works but I have no idea how to actually find the chest by the ghost pillar

weary lagoon
#

light the torches

midnight depot
#

Oh there are torches

#

Oh there's an area under the platform

#

That makes way more sense

weary lagoon
#

you're gonna have like 3-4 entire dungeons open for you once yay picks up your hookshot hehe

#

this is pretty funny

midnight depot
#

He totally is

#

Reverse wasteland was all good. I found a piece of heart

#

Looks like I can't actually do any new skips yet

weary lagoon
#

yeah you're not getting any further without longshot or hoverboots

#

unless you wanna learn how to bomb hover I guess

midnight depot
#

That one seems harder, so maybe a future run

midnight depot
#

Hover Badge for Chip2

fierce vale
#

NamazuThink i think chip1 might just be blocked until i get 34 total time pieces at which point i'll probably just beat the save and release it

#

chip2 i'm still playing and has more checks, i haven't checked chipmon in a while since it had like 3 very specific items

sage dawn
#

Forgetting random low sphere checks is the theme of this run for me

midnight depot
#

Yeah, it's actually hard to keep nine hundred checks in mind

midnight depot
#

Hi, @sage dawn can you get me my hookshot in Zora River so I can play the game?

sage dawn
#

Yeah hold on gotta boot up my computer.

#

Okay you're good to go

midnight depot
#

Thanks!

midnight depot
#

Looks like Forest Temple is entirely available except for Phantom Ganon

#

How can you even tell which surfaces can hookshot you?

weary lagoon
#

well theyre usually wood

#

usually

#

just experiment its not always consistent either

ancient harness
#

Also all chests

midnight depot
#

Dang

weary lagoon
#

Yep! They are made of wood

midnight depot
#

I guess I'll start with forest temple then

weary lagoon
#

cant you clear fire temple

#

if your boss key is in the dungeon I guess you can clear forest too

midnight depot
#

I found my forest temple boss key

#

Yes, I can clear fire temple too

weary lagoon
#

no thats a deku nut

sage dawn
#

You can also hookshot those pillars with the circles on them

midnight depot
#

The ones with a funny top

#

I figured

#

And the wall circles too

midnight depot
#

FlitterOoT sent Master Ball to Chipmon (Forest Temple Falling Ceiling Room Chest)

#

Go catch that rattata in Mewtwo's cave

#

In the boss room my ocarina is greyed out

midnight depot
#

I am groot

weary lagoon
#

what did the boss drop

midnight depot
weary lagoon
#

Miss..

midnight depot
#

Hm, hold on

#

Oops

#

I walked all the way to the phantom ganon area

#

Then accidentally entered the portal instead of picking the item up

#

Time to do the fire temple

midnight depot
#

Volvagia time

#

And the forest medallion

midnight depot
#

Sheik had Zelda's Lullaby

ancient harness
#

Nice

#

And thematic

midnight depot
ancient harness
#

Prelude of Light

weary lagoon
#

midnight depot
#

sage dawn
#

I've got a lot of random shit I missed to clean up, but I think at this point I'm mostly waiting for either hover boots or for Artik's to get me ZL from his final frogs

weary lagoon
#

I might be able to do that today now that I have longshot

#

Do I need song of storms for that or is it everything except that one

sage dawn
#

You need every child song

#

Sidenote, but if I skip the bulk of shadow and use a small key to unlock the room before the boss door, there is a very small chance that the seed can become unbeatable (if literally every other shadow key is locked in the middle of shadow). Should I avoid doing that?

weary lagoon
#

I wouldnt ppenk

#

ive forgotten to get the poe until now so lets see what it is

#

a red rupee!

#

time to eat breakfast then ill grab everything in gerudo valley and whatever GTG is

weary lagoon
#

Wallet for Yay

#

Goron tunic for wcct

#

GTG is dodongos cavern

#

Slingshot for Yay (or just ammo)

weary lagoon
#

The spirit temple is jabu jabu

#

never been here as an adult ppenk

#

oh my god I found my lullaby

#

zora tunic for wcct

weary lagoon
#

@clear summit progressive weapons and progressive tools found

#

Lullaby for @sage dawn

#

and Lullaby for wcct

ancient harness
weary lagoon
#

Nice, I was waiting for that keyring

weary lagoon
#

@fierce vale hope you dont need this

fierce vale
#

PL_lunateehee it would be useful, i dont know how many spawn yarns are in the pool

#

vanilla there are a shit tonne of spares

weary lagoon
#

I got it

weary lagoon
#

Flitters Herrah

#

Alright im pretty much done with my game!

#

I need these two and keyring for gerudo training grounds to get my last checks

#

Other than that I just need 2 triforce pieces to win my goal

fierce vale
#

i need 3 more thingies to beat chip1

#

i haven't checked if people got the stuff for chipmon in a while

midnight depot
#

Oh with Herrah I have all three dreamers at least known

#

But I need the full ending so I gotta find the third king's fragment too

weary lagoon
#

Looks like chip found a triforce piece so one to go

fierce vale
#

awwyeah chip2 won

midnight depot
#

Nice work

#

Oh, I already have voidheart

#

I still need leftslash @clear summit

clear summit
#

I'll see if I can find a jungle biome

#

I need amethyst for spyglass and a jungle biome for parrot

midnight depot
#

Good luck, and thank you in advance! You can also get it by finishing the game and releasing if it's too much trouble

clear summit
#

It all boils down to if I can find the stronghold

#

I used random website to triangulate but I think the coordinates were off

fierce vale
#

you're running modded so the seed generation is probably different

clear summit
#

That can be true

#

Worst case scenario I may need a structure compass

#

WOW

#

I think I have every structure compasses except Stronghold compass, if that exists

#

I have to check

#

ok Stronghold is never randomized and thus I think it doesn't have a compass

#

Hoo boy time to grind a lot of Endermans and Blazes

midnight depot
#

Pale ore!

#

Also,

#

My character is too down on itself

clear summit
#

GOT IT

#

FOUND THE STRONGHOLD

midnight depot
#

Nice!

#

Ice trap for Artiks

#

It wasn't easy to get this one but I managed

clear summit
#

Yay. Time to grind.

clear summit
#

wait you cleared pokemon?

midnight depot
#

Oh my bad, I didn't connect properly

fierce vale
#

CatJam pokemon done

#

2 out of 3 games done now just the last one

I thought you need lift key rdsnrk

fierce vale
#

also i'm just releasing that because its just running around getting things

midnight depot
#

Thanks

fierce vale
#

i thought i did! apparently it didn't

#

i apparently needed the card key not the lift key for opening the gym PL_lunateehee

clear summit
#

Wow I had literally nothing to get from your leftover checks

fierce vale
#

CoolHat i got plenty more

#

๐Ÿ™ i need to be sent 2 more time pieces then its the clean sweep baybeee

midnight depot
#

Hint for them

fierce vale
#

i have no idea what the missing time pieces are called

#

since they're all time piece (something)

#

a not that urgent request for @sage dawn, theres like 8 checks behind it but i dont know what they are

sage dawn
#

Will get to it eventually. Have been procrastinating on that one because I don't have enough small keys to full clear shadow yet and it's out of logic because I don't have hovers.

midnight depot
#

How do I get to Zora's Domain as adult?

#

Oh

ancient harness
#

ZL or hover boots

midnight depot
#

Play Zelda's lullaby to the waterfall to make it sleep

#

I should have brought a bottle full of fire

ancient harness
#

That's what ice cavern is for

fierce vale
#

CoolHat you're welcome

weary lagoon
#

Looks like chip releasing gave me the last triforce piece

#

so I just have to turn the game on to complete my goal

fierce vale
#

(also i think its just the 8 checks on chip2 that are locked behind a key item, and the remaining are locked behind a bug that id need to update my hat in time randomiser mod to do which i cant be bothered so i'm just gonna release em after i get the yay based checks)

ancient harness
#

Alright, cleared everything except Shadow Temple

#

[Hint]: Wcctnoam's Mirror Shield is at Colossus Great Fairy Reward in yay899's World. (not found)

midnight depot
#

Sun's Song

#

And shadow temple boss key for Wcctnoam

#

Boomerang for @sage dawn

weary lagoon
#

OMG the best item

midnight depot
#

Oh when Artiks got a recovery heart my HP got filled up all the way

#

But when yay did, I got only one?

#

Must be because it's a great fairy fountain

#

That's enough for today. Tomorrow I'll go through the Water Temple

weary lagoon
#

yeah the fairy always heals you

midnight depot
#

Makes sense

ancient harness
#

I hate the shadow temple, but here I go

weary lagoon
#

I did it without lens this time around

#

that was interesting

ancient harness
#

Lots of big chests in shadow temple

#

Deku nuts are the best item in the game

weary lagoon
#

hm

#

my favorite use is on the poes in forest temple

#

dont use em much outside of that

Bongo Bongo can go fuck himself

Monarch wings!

I think I only hate Twinrowa

Twinrowa fucking sucks

#

you can lock on on that boss!

ancient harness
#

And somehow Z never wants to pick the other hand

weary lagoon
#

Twinrowa easily the worst
Phantom Ganon can be a pain
Volvagia so fkn boring

ancient harness
#

Alright, time to get my "light arrows" and that's BK mode for me

#

Alright

#

Good checks, Monarch Wings for Flitter

#

Straight from Bongo Bongo himself

weary lagoon
#

are you just using mirror shield to complete

#

missing*

ancient harness
#

And Song of TIme

#

After that I think I'm done

#

Though I don't have ganon's Castle's keyring, and if I need the boss key I don't have it either

weary lagoon
#

you do

#

the medallion altar hints ganons boss key

ancient harness
#

I'll check

weary lagoon
#

What is song of time needed for?

ancient harness
#

Ganon is unlocked

#

So I could've finished the game ever since I got light arrows, but that doesn't seem right to do

#

I'll wait for keyring of the trial doors and count that as my boss key

Good morning. Time for a spot of OoT

Looks like Hollow Knight is back to BK mode

#

I have the most checks locked behind Grimmchild2

fierce vale
#

peek_HP is that something that can be aquired by someone through a hint

midnight depot
#

I'm out of hints!

fierce vale
#

fair enough!

#

you can use hints to find out what a couple of your own checks are right? i have like 3 checks i can get on both hat in time saves and wanna hint em

clear summit
#

sry, I'll struggle playing any Minecraft for few days, I have reserve force training for 4 days and I get exhausted after it

midnight depot
#

Yes, you can do hints for your own locations

clear summit
#

Didn't expect to be this busy starlightexhausted

fierce vale
#

is it just !hint (check) ?

midnight depot
#

I think it was !hint_location

fierce vale

๐Ÿค˜

#
    Use !hint_location {location_name},
        for example !hint_location atomic-bomb to get a spoiler peek for that location.```

Yarn for Chip2

#

And another yarn

fierce vale
#

awwyeah all games done

midnight depot
#

Nice work

fierce vale
#

PL_lunateehee and just releasing since theres like 10 checks i could get and the rest are bugged unless i updated

#

awwyeah i got your funny item

midnight depot
#

Yes, that's the last of the dreamers

#

Now I only need a king's fragment to finish Hollow Knight

fierce vale
#

rdwut if we started litterally like 2 days later i wouldn't have run into like half the bugs i did

#

CoolHat i'll wait till yay sends me her item for chip2 and complete that stuff before releasing it at least

midnight depot
#

Apparently you could skip the stupid climbing section in Spirit Temple with longshot

ancient harness
#

That's a must

midnight depot
#

Spirit Temple is done, and that gives me the Kokiri emerald, meaning I get a bunch of checks for child Link

#

The ocarina of time was one rupee and taught me the nocturne of shadow

midnight depot
#

Okay, that's all I can get without hoverboots

#

I could do the biggoron quest but I'll do it later

midnight depot
#

Biggoron had a recovery heart for Artiks, and now I'm back in BK mode. Let's see if Hollow Knight has more checks

#

Nope!

#

Just gotta wait until Jay or yay play again

#

Bow for yay

clear summit
#

Sorrrry

midnight depot
#

Turns out I had two more checks in Hollow Knight! For some reason I finally fulfilled the requirements to fight the white defender, and I also opened the egg temple which has one check.

Hello, friends. This is a reminder that this game is scheduled to end by the end of August 31.

I intend to start a September game so if you're interested, think about how much time you want to play over the month and what games you want to play.

I think starting by next Sunday, September 3rd, is a good idea, but if you need more time to think, Thursday, September 7th is a good candidate.

clear summit
#

I'll try my best to finish

ancient harness
#

wtf are you supposed to do if you run out of magic in Ganon's fight

fierce vale
#

pull a piece

ancient harness
#

What?

fierce vale
#

~~it was a joke saying you should just pull a gun Froyo_gun ~~

ancient harness
#

Oh

weary lagoon
#

Pots under him right

ancient harness
#

They have me nothing

#

They gave me arrows

#

And rupees for some reason

#

Are you supposed to just reload?

midnight depot
#

Bring a green potion next time?

#

You can let him break the castle walls to drop stuff

ancient harness
#

I can't buy green potions

#

I wonder where my second magic meter is, but no hints left

midnight depot
#

Did you shuffle scrubs and shops?

ancient harness
#

Yeah

midnight depot
#

If you want extra hints I can look in the spoiler log for you

ancient harness
#

Nah

midnight depot
#

Okay, good luck!

ancient harness
#

Eeyup

fierce vale
#

twicrazy now i gotta figure out what i wanna do next time

#

twicrazy gonna add 1 more game every time we do this, i can do 4 games, i believe in me

midnight depot
#

Just do one game with four thousand checks

fierce vale
#

gonna add ds2 but add a possible check for exhausting every single enemy in the game

#

i will make it so you have to kill giant3 in tower of flame 10 times for a key item

midnight depot
#

HFV is gonna be a nightmare

fierce vale
#

i mean, that just how you gotta clear it anyway

midnight depot
#

I usually do my three NPC summons and then run the hell away through the buildings

#

Encountering three to five dang deer on the way to Lud and Zallen

fierce vale
#

unrelated; presming my memory of hollow knight is like, the first 1/4 of the game, would it be reliable for me to do it in the randomiser with the map? if so what settings/can i just steal yours

midnight depot
#

Absolutely

fierce vale
#

๐Ÿค˜

midnight depot
#

I'll make a set of recommendations for you. Don't steal mine because they're really designed for use with my modset

fierce vale
#

i'll probably do ds3+hk+pokemon emerald, though i wanna check some things before i lock that in

midnight depot
#

What's your preference regarding splitting dashing, attacking, swimming (in acid or water) and crystal dash?

Having them split can be a frustration all the way to the end of the game because technically you don't need all sides so the logic doesn't give them to you

#

But it's a limitation that's fun for some people

fierce vale
#

im fine with that

midnight depot
#

Okay.

midnight depot
#

These are my recommendations for you

#

They randomize as many things as possible, do not randomize geo rocks (There's like 400 of those, but you're free to turn the option on if you like.) and they don't expect you to do any skips

#

You may want to lower the maximum charm requirement if you don't want to wait until you get every single charm. 25 is a good number.

fierce vale
#

flutternod that sounds alright, i might turn on the rocks because big number settings are fun, but i'll check when i get home

midnight depot
#

This also makes it so your charms cost 55 notches in total instead of 90

#

Around two thirds of the normal amount. This tends to make the game a little easier, so change it to -1 if you want vanilla costs, or -2 if you want to shuffle

#

Finally, I've made it so each shop has 8 items, and 32 extra slots are distributed into all shops

#

You can pump this number up to 16, but this will add random geo rocks into the pool to balance it out

fresh hill
#

I'd better start looking at yaml files when I get home

weary lagoon
#

I think I will skip september

#

they will have ootmm ready for the next one fooor suuure ๐Ÿ•

midnight depot
#

Yea, the plan for MM is implement OOTMM. Then rip out the OoT for MM solo is a quote I've seen, so maybe

#

On the other it's not going to be any time soon

#

They're waiting for development on OoTMM to slow down before they start

#

They can't work on the individual MM randomizer because the license is not compatible and the developers of the randomizer don't have the time to make sure they can grant an exception

fresh hill
#

weird

#

was it a GPL vs permissive thing?

weary lagoon
#

Last time I looked around the issue was that the MM rando was coded in another language than Archi

#

Im interested in the full OOTMM anyway

midnight depot
#

Language is not relevant

#

Archipelago integration is its own code for each project

fresh hill
#

yeah, it'd be pretty rubbish as a cross-randomizer protocol if it wasn't even a language-independent protocol

fierce vale
#

fs_fascinating imma just release chip2 too since we're close to the deadline and idk how much yay will play in the next couple of days (if at all)

midnight depot
#

That makes sense. Without further drops I still can't finish my Hollow Knight game

fierce vale
#

that had grimmchild2

#

and progressive scale

weary lagoon
#

dont really wanna release

midnight depot
#

Oh I need that

midnight depot
weary lagoon
#

well im done

midnight depot
#

I'm certainly not releasing hollow knight until I'm done

fierce vale
#

PL_lunateehee i released mine when it was "run through levels pickin up checks that will just take an age" barring chip2, which was locked behind yay playing a fair amount more

weary lagoon
#

i just have 3-4% left I can get with items from yay and one unknown

midnight depot
#

That makes sense.

#

By the way, Hollow Knight got an archipelago update

#

So update the mod

fierce vale
#

dumbtiktok i got you a bow and a golden skulltula if that helps artikins

weary lagoon
#

these and gtg keyring can get me checks

midnight depot
#

Grimmchild2 has like twelve checks? It's nice!

#

11 checks

#

Including shadow temple key for yay, claim check for Wcctnoam

ancient harness
#

Big Goron's greatest work was deku seeds

midnight depot
#

He spent six years on those seeds

fresh hill
#

so I'm looking at Link to the Past settings

Bush Shuffle
Randomize chance that a bush contains an enemy as well as which enemy may spawn

#

this sounds hilarious

midnight depot
#

It also means you'll be forced to systematically destroy every bush

fresh hill
#

wait, that includes non-trash mobs with important item drops?

midnight depot
#

I don't know!

fresh hill
#

lol

#

A Hat In Time isn't listed on the archipelago site; where does one go to set that up? (or is it still in an "experts-only" state?)

midnight depot
#

Manually edit a YAML

#

A Hat in Time is almost finished but it's only implemented in apworld form right now

#

There may be a few bugs but it'll work fine if you follow instructions. Chip might know more

fierce vale
#

if you dont use the portrait randomiser it theoretically works without bugs

#

the two major bugs i ran into are fixed

midnight depot
#

The portrait randomizer sounds as bad as the Mario 64 Mario color randomizer

#

(It gives your character random colors, including racially insensitive ones)

fresh hill
#

I think I've done all the required setup for Blasphemous and LttP, but when trying to test LttP I can't seem to get RetroArch and Archipelago to talk to each other cocothink

fierce vale
#

it puts the subcon forest portraits into the randomisation item pool, so you need a bunch of random progression checks for it

midnight depot
#

I see

fierce vale
#

i think at the moment it just doesnt put them into the correct spheres? theyve been talking about it today in the discord, but i didnt read it all

midnight depot
#

For Bizhawk, you start Bizhawk then load the correct ROM file then start the archipelago connector client then load the lua script that connects the two

#

Any other order and it goes bad

fierce vale
#

oh also apparently theres a bug based on having multiple hatty time players, that i didnt run into

fresh hill
#

I am out of ideas for getting it to launch RetroArch so I'll try the BizHawk instructions

fierce vale
#

to do with hat unlocks

#

bizhawk is super easy from using it with pokemon red

fresh hill
#

I must be missing something because half these setup instructions refer to things that don't exist

midnight depot
#

Do you have the correct version of Bizhawk?

fresh hill
midnight depot
#

You might need to install the archipelago software again (and check the components that allow you to generate a game)

fresh hill
#

I already did that to install the LttP patch thing, even downloaded an older version of the ROM to pass its validation

midnight depot
#

There is a specific version and it's either 2.7 or 2.9. Let me check

fresh hill
#

ok so the instructions are missing something that basic starlightexhausted

fierce vale
#

2.7

midnight depot
#

2.7. Lua integration was changed later and you need a completely different script

#

There is a script for newer versions but I don't know how to get it to work

fresh hill
#

ok, on 2.7, step 1 mostly points to a real menu option, so that's a good sign

#

uh... let's try 64-bit connector script?

#

oh you said archipelago first

midnight depot
#

The connector script has to remain in the archipelago folder, so don't move it to the Bizhawk Lua folder

fresh hill
#

ok, wasn't moving it but gtk

#

yeah I don't think that worked either

midnight depot
#

Oh you also have to have a game to connect to

fresh hill
#

the Lua Console has "Connected to SNI", the Archipelago SNI Client has "Attached the luabridge://...", but nothing randomizer-y happens even if I make a new save file, or after I try running the /connect archipelago command the site gave me

midnight depot
#

Are you loading the original ROM or the modified one?

fresh hill
#

original Japanese rom, no revs

midnight depot
#

From the game page on archipelago.gg you will get a file that launches Bizhawk and the connector app

#

That file will launch the correct ROM. The randomized one

fresh hill
#

it said the same thing about retroarch but all that .alttp file does is launch the sni client which then complains there's no snes anywhere

midnight depot
#

Hmm

#

Did you randomize the Japanese ROM?

fresh hill
#

I don't know what that means

midnight depot
#

You need to do that locally through the archipelago launcher (independent from the client)

#

So generate a game locally and use the original ROM to generate a ROM with randomized items

#

I can do that for you if it seems like too much work

#

After you generate a game locally, you can host it on archipelago.gg and resume normally

fresh hill
#

I'm just confused, that doesn't sound like it'd help with making an actual Archipelago multi-world game connect to all of this

midnight depot
#

Right now it looks to me like you can connect but there's no game to connect to in Bizhawk

#

And there's no game because you haven't made one yet

fresh hill
#

ok I'm already getting contradictory claims here

midnight depot
#

You can't connect to the original Japanese ROM because the items there are not randomized

fresh hill
#

is double-clicking the .aplttp file supposed to launch an emulator or not?

midnight depot
#

Not sure! With OoT it will launch the emulator

#

It may be different for alttp

fresh hill
#

but you basically just said it won't launch BizHawk

midnight depot
#

Sounds good

fresh hill
#

and in practice it launches nothing and still doesn't work even when I had BizHawk with the rom loaded

midnight depot
#

Well, what I'm saying is you don't seem to have a randomized ROM in the first place. Do you?

fresh hill
#

does "randomized rom" mean something other than the .aplttp file?

midnight depot
#

Yeah. The aplttp file just looks through your archipelago installation for the correct randomized ROM and launches it

#

Let me take a screenshot of my OoT installation

fresh hill
#

huh, the linked instructions don't say anything about a randomized rom, just the regular rom and the .aplttp

midnight depot
#

If .aplttp doesn't launch the emulator for you, you have to launch it yourself and find the randomized ROM to put in the emulator but things should work after

fresh hill
#

oh hang on, I changed my .sfc program from retroarch to bizhawk, and now double-clicking the .aplttp launches bizhawk with the rom

midnight depot
#

Here you see the correct ROM on top and the vanilla one fourth in the list

fresh hill
#

ok this looks randomizery

midnight depot
#

Great!

fresh hill
#

"Ganon has moved around all the items in Hyrule and beyond." rdwut

midnight depot
#

With the randomized game running, it's time to start the archipelago client if you haven't, then the lua script last.

fresh hill
#

do you mean the arch text client, in addition to the sni client it auto-opened?

midnight depot
#

So there are four things to connect:
The game hosted on archipelago.gg, which talks to
The archipelago SNI client, which talks to,
The lua script, which talks to
Bizhawk.

#

The text client is unnecessary

fresh hill
#

ok

#

that looks like it worked

midnight depot
#

Excellent

fresh hill
#

yep the site's room log is showing proper connection messages

midnight depot
#

Ideally you would test with another game so you can make sure you have the ability to send and receive items but that never becomes a problem in practice

fresh hill
#

ok that looks pretty randomized

midnight depot
#

That's all you need! See you when we play next

fresh hill
#

the first chest has a rupee instead of a lantern

midnight depot
#

Hell yeah. The code above is the seed

fresh hill
#

I think I'm convinced this is working

#

yeah, displaying the seed via items is a cute choice

midnight depot
#

Yeah if the log says you sent yourself an item then it certainly can send and usually that means it can receive

fresh hill
#

TIL you can kill enemies by throwing bushes

#

but that's enough of that

midnight depot
#

You should play OoT with no Kokiri sword

#

There are surprisingly many ways to kill enemies anyway

fresh hill
midnight depot
#

Funniest of which are sticks that break after one attack

#

Yeah well done

weary lagoon
#

surprisingly many

#

you mentioned the one way before you get bombs

fresh hill
#

now I should probably double-check that Blasphemous also works with the "Generate Game" button on the arch site

midnight depot
#

Well you have bombs, gauntlets, magic, slingshot, arrows, epona

weary lagoon
#

you're a child so scratch some of those

midnight depot
#

Hmm

fresh hill
#

oh yeah I am missing a few steps here

midnight depot
#

Apparently you can never start as adult without the master sword.

weary lagoon
#

thats true you cant turn into an adult without it

fresh hill
#

mmm, Blasphemous is still claiming "The required mods are not installed" for multiworld, though I just did a clean uninstall and reinstall of the game and the mods

midnight depot
#

I've no clue how blasphemous works but I'll be glad to try to get it to work when I have time tomorrow

fresh hill
#

to be precise

midnight depot
#
You can use the Mod Installer to uninstall the Randomizer and Multiworld mods, and then grab the correct versions from GitHub.

Mod Installer: https://github.com/BrandenEK/Blasphemous-Mod-Installer/releases/tag/1.0.1
Randomizer 1.4.5: https://github.com/BrandenEK/Blasphemous-Randomizer/releases/tag/1.4.5
Multiworld 1.0.3: https://github.com/BrandenEK/Blasphemous-Multiworld/releases/tag/1.0.3

If you would like to test the new features of Randomizer 2.0 early, you can add the `blasphemous.apworld` file to your worlds folder (default path: `C:\ProgramData\Archipelago\lib\worlds`) and generate a game locally. Here is also a template yaml with all of the new options that you can use. Then you can either upload it to the Archipelago website like normal, or host the game yourself.```
#

Apparently the docs are outdated and the website has not been updated in a while

fresh hill
#

wow

midnight depot
#

The next major version is coming soon

#

You can generate a blasphemous game using the local setup instead and that should work

#

Or you could downgrade

fresh hill
#

I don't even know what "the local setup" you're referring to, is that something usable in an actual archipelago game?

midnight depot
#

Yes

#

Just like how the last paragraph points out

#

All you need to do is use the archipelago launcher to generate a local game then host it later on archipelago.gg

#

For that you need the .apworld file (like in A Hat of Time)

#

It's a CLI application but you shouldn't need any arguments.

fresh hill
#

oh "local" here means the Archipelago setup is a file on my machine instead of something the website or you manage

midnight depot
#

Yes. You create a random list of items and write it into a file that archipelago.gg hosts

#

Rather than doing the same but on their remote servers

fresh hill
#

anyway I already downloaded the old mod versions and it looks like that fixed everything

midnight depot
#

Excellent

fresh hill
#

[root at 2023-08-29 20:44:48,424]: (Team #1) Ixrec sent Knot of Rosary Rope to Ixrec (BotSS: Beginning gift)

#

nice, I burned a great starting item on the test run lol

midnight depot
#

If anyone else uses a .apworld file then it won't be any extra effort for me to generate a blasphemous game on the new version

fresh hill
#

if you're asking whether I care about which version of the Blasphemous randomizer we use, I do not

#

considering this just seemingly worked, I assume the yaml I already made using the arch site is happy with these older versions

midnight depot
#

Yeah

fresh hill
#

the optional PopTracker integration also seems to work, though unfortunately it doesn't show rosary knots so not 100% on that

#

thanks for finding all those arcana

#

on the one hand this makes me hesitant to try adding a third game, but on the other Hat in Time is the only one of these three that we've had someone play before so it should be less of a headache, especially considering what chip said about that just getting an update?

midnight depot
#

I don't know if you should jump from one game to three but you know you. Remember that you'll be expected to put enough time to finish them all in around three or so weeks

fresh hill
#

you're right, let's stick to two

#

if I was just replaying each of these games vanilla then it would barely take one week to do all three, but of course the point of the randomization is to introduce a bunch of complications

fresh hill
#

oh right, I nearly forgot the most important step

fierce vale
#

peek_HP just encase it changes your mind about things, hattie time just fixed like, most of its bugs that i knew about and has a poptracker up and working

#

NamazuThink i think i'll stick to 3, i could defo easily fit all 4 games in i wanna play but i'll be nice to myself and give myself leeway on hk

#

twicrazy now i just gotta decide between hattie time again, or ds3 again

fresh hill
#

yeah, I think I'd rather have the leeway to deal with any further technical issues, and just the fact that jumping between two different games I've only played once before is already a lot to keep track of

#

especially since unfortunately both of these have setup steps I have to remember to redo every single time I launch either game

midnight depot
#

Good afternoon

#

No new items for my Hollow Knight game, but on OoT I have the golden scale!

#

That means I can do the Lake Hylia lab dive

#

It was just one deku nut for Artiks

Maybe I'll try a no hover boot skip for shadow temple if one exists

#

Meanwhile:
[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Hover Boots is at LH GS Lab Wall in yay899's World. (not found) @sage dawn

clear summit
#

Ok I can go to End now

midnight depot
#

Nice!

clear summit
#

Watching bed tutorials

midnight depot
#

I don't think I'll do that. I'll just wait for hover boots

clear summit
#

Time to go

midnight depot
#

Oh neat

#

What's this advancements bar and why does it stop at 40?

#

Also, since you seem to be equipped with diamond gear, why are you going with bed strats?

clear summit
#

:( didn't go well

midnight depot
#

aw

clear summit
#
  1. My defense is shit (no diamond armor/no shield/no potions to buff), cheesing is easier
  2. My aim is shit, my arrows barely hit
#

The advancement bar is there because Ender Dragon is locked until 40 advancements

#

That shit is legit hiding the Ender Dragon health, I have to find a way to remove it

midnight depot
#

I see

clear summit
#

Honestly I almost feel like giving up this point

midnight depot
#

That's absolutely fine. You did the work. The game's only good for as long as it is fun.

clear summit
#

Also I have no idea why the console thinks I already killed the dragon

midnight depot
#

That's silly

clear summit
#

I did the dragon fight for 10+minutes

#

I couldn't even see the health bar

#

I used like 100 arrows and destroyed like what

#

5 crystals or smth

midnight depot
#

Looks like this is an issue that sometimes happens.

#

As long as you get a dragon next time it'll be fine

midnight depot
#

Well maybe you can

#

I gave it around ten tries

sage dawn
#

You have to jump as it's falling. Kinda awkward.

midnight depot
#

Oh!

#

That makes sense

sage dawn
#

But yeah I can get you hovers now that I have boomerang.

#

Also congrats on learning to megaflip!

midnight depot
#

Thanks. I tried the non-Nayru's Love megaflip and it was pretty tricky. The magic one is a bit easier.

sage dawn
#

Yeah the magic one is a lot more lenient.

clear summit
#

...

#

I think I give up, I can def do this but I am too tired and exhausted.

sage dawn
#

I generally do the non-magic method but I never learned a setup so I only succeed like 1 out of 6 times.

clear summit
#

I have 9-5 reserve force training for 4 days since monday, I cannot even afford a lot of time

sage dawn
#

Would not recommend trying to time things by feeling.

#

Whoa I know two Jays who are in the reserves now?

midnight depot
clear summit
#

Also I genuinely do not know how to turn off this advancement bar thing

#

It hides boss health bar and it's so annoying

midnight depot
#

You might be able to do it by just editing the mod files

clear summit
#

gg

midnight depot
#

Leftslash!

sage dawn
#

Mod doesn't add anything to settings?

#

gg

clear summit
#

The saddest part is that

#

Literally only Leftslash and Bolero of Fire matters

midnight depot
#

Correct. We're in the end game!

clear summit
#

Does Bolero of Fire matter actually

weary lagoon
#

Bolero is pretty optional

clear summit
#

Yeah

midnight depot
#

Bolero of Fire is a quick teleport to fire temple. Very convenient

clear summit
#

So I basically had 1 meaningful check left.

#

I was 50% complete

weary lagoon
#

sometimes its required in logic if you get it before hookshot or something

sage dawn
#

There are two checks locked behind it in logic but you can megaflip for both of them.

#

Child bean patch skull and the the heart piece you get to with the bean as adult.

clear summit
#

Uhhh I guess there was a slingshot for wcct

sage dawn
#

Also yeah what Artiks said

clear summit
#

What I learned is that Minecraft sucks for Archipelago

midnight depot
#

Is there no way to get to shadow temple aside from the song?

sage dawn
#

Not glitchless

midnight depot
#

Minecraft might be better if you're playing with a bunch of other minecrafts (in a synchronous game)

sage dawn
#

We should do Minecraft bingo some time.

clear summit
#

Maybe, if the "no hard achievement" shit actually works

midnight depot
#

Well it looks like "no hard achievements" had no important checks hidden behind hard achievements. Is that true?

#

I am definitely not interested in a Minecraft bingo, but I'm interested in the bingo concept in general

clear summit
#

I mean the thing is

#

I don't even know exactly what is considered as "hard advancement"

#

Also structure randomizer sucks

sage dawn
#

It would be nice if they let you disable advancements individually like oot does

midnight depot
#

That makes sense

#

[Hint]: FlitterHK's Dashmaster is at GF HBA 1500 Points in FlitterOoT's World. (not found)

#

I'm never getting Dashmaster

sage dawn
#

Hah get fucked

#

Dude I hate that check

ancient harness
#

That check indeed sucks

#

I did it at 75% speed emulation, but I'm using keyboard

#

And I'll never do it again

sage dawn
#

It is better with controller but not much

clear summit
#

Honestly looking back it wasn't actually super awful. It just requires time and is quite tedious.

#

I can definitely "complete" it if I have bunch of time and will to grind stuff

#

Or if I was good

#

skill issue

sage dawn
#

Probably better when everyone is playing low check count games and I haven't dumped like 850 junk items into the pool.

midnight depot
#

Yeah. It can be pretty frustrating to do a bunch of work only to find one rupee for someone else

clear summit
#

Like it's really weird

midnight depot
#

Time to do the skip again since I closed the game

clear summit
#

With structure randomizer, Ender dragon technically requires only one check. Brewing.

midnight depot
#

The thing that makes timing the skip hard is I can't reach 60 FPS here

midnight depot
clear summit
#

Yeah, and you can adjust it if you want

sage dawn
#

Dude oot runs at 20 fps

midnight depot
#

Hmm

#

If I press fast forward I can get to 80FPS

#

So maybe it's just emulating an N64 and it lags here to 45

sage dawn
#

Yeah bizhawk is meant for tassing so I think it emulates console lag.

midnight depot
#

Oops, jumped too far

#

There!

#

How come some wallmasters split into small hands when killed and some don't?

weary lagoon
#

I wonder if HBA is the hardest heart piece in a zelda game

midnight depot
#

Turns out you can reach the falling platform even while it's stopped at the bottom, but I couldn't because no reason

midnight depot
#

Hmm, This one looks like it might be doable with a megaflip too

#

Wait, nevermind

#

You can reach it with a jump

midnight depot
midnight depot
#

Good evening

#

It's the last day!

#

Though as with before we still need @sage dawn to play to progress any further

sage dawn
#

Sorry I have a deadline at work that happens to line up with tomorrow. I should maybe release

midnight depot
#

If you would like to continue another day, I could just dip into your game and get my hover boots myself then keep playing.

#

Otherwise, releasing is fine. No pressure!

sage dawn
#

I don't want to hold anyone back

midnight depot
#

I'm having a blast just playing with you

#

Don't worry about holding anyone back. I intend to run my part of the game until the end, but I also intend to start the next one by tomorrow so everyone has the opportunity to play this weekend

fierce vale
#

NamazuThink hmmm, do i do this option

midnight depot
#

Should be fine as long as the shopkeepers are not randomized

#

Problem is you will have to find every hidden and difficult to reach consumable

fierce vale
#

PL_lunateehee i do anyway, though i'll probably just release once i kill the final boss again

midnight depot
#

Okay

fierce vale
midnight depot
#

All right! Please post it again tomorrow after I announce the game

fierce vale
#

okey dokey!

#

twicrazy apparently i have to make a server to generate a template pokemon emerald yaml

#

CoolHat i'll figure that out later

ancient harness
#

It's done

#

With my beautiful beige tunic

#

This is why Link doesn't get Zelda. Terrible fashion sense

#

Damn, only 90% completion

#

I released so check your games if you wish

weary lagoon
#

hes done it

ancient harness
#

I could've done it as soon as I got magic, whenever that was

#

I really thought I needed Ganon's key

midnight depot
fierce vale
midnight depot
#

Gotta get out of bed first but I'll generate a test game for you pronto

fierce vale
#

no rush, i'm working from home tommorow so can just do the things whenever

fresh hill
#

should we do any test game stuff tomorrow when Iโ€™m WFH?

fierce vale
#

i dont think theres anything we need to

midnight depot
midnight depot
#

Time to generate Pokemon Emerald

#

Apparently I need to update my installation to 0.4.2 (in dev)

#

@fierce vale You got a copy of the Emerald ROM that I can patch?

fierce vale
#

sure, gimme a sec

midnight depot
fierce vale
#

gigantamaxpipp ascended name

midnight depot
#

I tried to go for what you would name it

fierce vale
#

FS_woohoo oh hey, this one default starts with hm02 fly

fresh hill
#

my name is significantly less punnable

midnight depot
#

Very handy, surely

#

I found a template with info

#

Oh but apparently it's for an older version

fierce vale
#

it should be sufficient info, thanks!

#

it filled the two bits of information i wanted!

midnight depot
#

Hmm

#

I have no idea how to patch the emerald file. There's no setting for it like the other ones

fierce vale
midnight depot
#

Oh right. I've been trying "Open Patch" and just forcing it to load the file

#

Which worked but provided no output (usually does in other applications)

#

It's announcement time again!

Thank you all so much for playing with me in the August Manechat game. I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until October. If you're interested, please read the list of available games https://archipelago.gg/games and pick one or more games to run, then ping me so I can keep track of you and help you out with any problems.
The game will start By the end of Friday, tomorrow.
Also I'll ping people who might be interested here:
@ancient harness, @clear summit, @weary lagoon, @warm walrus, @sage dawn. (Ixrec and Chip already have their games ready)
Oh, and one more thing. Please don't join unless you can commit to playing at least a little bit every three days. It's very frustrating for everyone to be stuck because you didn't play and your world has the one item the whole game needs to proceed.

warm walrus
#

I am interested and would like to run Dark Souls 3 or Stardew Valley

midnight depot
#

Sounds great! You should generate a singleplayer randomized game and once you get it to work, copy the YAML file, and send it to me

ancient harness
#

Not me for this one

fresh hill
#

should we say something in #1032716748887179434 too just in case we can rope in someone brand new?

midnight depot
#

Yes, I plan to announce in #1032716748887179434 a couple of times later.

fresh hill
#

cool
