thats huge, nice
i just need to do all my mm content
Hm, if Pamela sees me while I'm trying to sneak into the music box house she goes inside and locks the door
How do I get the door open? Restart the loop?
bomb the door and run down the slop out of sight
when she walks to the well you can walk inside
she doesnt need to be that far away
Thanks. That worked!
Goron Tunic for Chip
Hmm, where do I find Mikau so I can heal him?
he should be chilling on the beach
@fierce vale save me from my eternal BK ๐ฅบ
which one
MM Hero's shield
Does it let you do anything Mirror shield can't?
Which is a shame because mirror shield is ugly
no its cool
its supposed to be
speaking of mirror
When I look in a normal mirror it looks pretty though
I think that should be the hint I use for my 8th dungeon i got yesterday
Now all I have to do is find Kamaro
hes on one of the stone mushroom things between castle town and mountain
*clock town
theres one close enough to the wall to leap on
it will be obvious
there will be a dude dancing on it making music
Hint: my mirror shield OOT is in @fierce vale s swamp potion shop
i thought i'd bought that one
i hope not because I dont have it
is it the funny fragrant mushroom check cus i coulda sworn i got that one too but
i dont know
only one of three slots is locked behind the mushroom
it says slot 1 in the log that should be the mushroom one
Who designed this game
When I walk in circles and then put on the bunny hood my circle radius expands
It should stay the same
you're moving faster but turning at the same speed
Be nice..
He had a deku stick upgrade for Chip
hes dead
thats one check i think, the dogs
You can do the dogs without it
I did that but im very good at gambling
sure but its harder and more expensive
gerudo card got
Nice
Key ring from snowhead
(I already cleared the dungeon)
and I just finished clearing GTG. Think the only thing important was Flitters claim check
Nice
this tomorrow
maybe someone finds my key ring for spirit before then
the song there could also be Nocture, unlocking all of shadow
Shadow temple Out of Bound Skip when
I win with the power of friendship (they find me items) rather than cheap tricks
Eye frog for Artiks
i did like 2 more dungeons 
i still have no magic
i might use my next hint on magic, just need 1 more check
its a confising temple
Oh my god even more chests
yep!
Just give me a hookshot point like a sane game
Time to fight Twinmold
Should I use fierce diety mask or giant mask for this?
Giant Mask was a lot easier
Twinmold had the light medallion
That's Go Mode for OoT.
@weary lagoon I'd like to use my final hint to check if the Don Gero Mask check is anything important
remember to do all the fun ganons castle checks hehe
I should not have alt tabbed https://i.imgur.com/pfF7L09.png
Yeah, here are the remaining checks https://i.imgur.com/8g9fs3W.png
I'm going to do the Ganon's Castle ones tomorrow
you can probably get the swamp spiders one too, its just marked in bule cus its janky
I could and I did
I think it was just trash
Same for ocean spider
Oh I forgot to mark it off
Here we go
how did you choose to tackle the stone tower boss
the colossal song was song of storms MM >_<
i didnt know this but song of storms mm clears the jinxed effect from the blue skulls
my last 2 songs are requiem and nocturne 
MM song of storms is the most useful utility song
if you live in the world without song of soaring and suns song
Song of storm is more useful than sun's song but I view song of soaring as a teleport song, not a utility song
Wait, MM doesn't even have Sun's song
yeh but we have two games
Good morning. Flitter next time you play can we get an update on your stone tower fairy count?
Sure!
is it these 2 rooms with extra chests
Correct
Other than the blue potion, you should be able to find everything you need in this same maze
i usually start with at least the blue potion and 5 beans
Oh yeah, you do need to buy beans too
Five beans
You also need bombs but you can find some inside
you can buy that from the scrub in ikana canyon
ye, i did
Awesome!
its getting there!
is the inverted stone tower a post stone tower thing?
Before
theres 3 chests you can get with beans when you flip the tower
Move the entrance blocks and shoot the red ruby with a light arrow then use a bean
only one bean needed
You don't need spring water if you bring song of storms
that is the only mm song i dont have
good thing the spring water is where the beans are sold
Meanwhile I got everything in Ganon's castle and it was all trash
is it? i buy them from the scrub outside the boathouse in the swamp
where is it? i only know the ones in the deku palace+the spring in snowzone
step into the lake the tourist house is on and fill up
Don't you need to kill the Woodfall boss to clean that?
no
that simplifies things so much
Oh good
why is it called spring water if it doesn't have to be from a spring
Atm im waiting for chip to unlock shadow temple to get my powder keg, or for someone to find my spirit keys
What are you missing for shadow, nocturne and magic?
fire boss key for mega 
water arrows+nocturne+magic gets me all but "near boat" skulltula
which needs the longshot
water arrows 
ice arrows?
which check goes away if you click off ice arrows
they're blue so my mind just says water
wait, i'm a dumb dumb, i musta clicked something else, i toggled it
Makes sense
yeaaah, not having magic is suffering 
so nocturne and magic then
its just magic and nocturne i need, im a dumb dumb
You do need longshot for that one skulltula in water temple
i have a song check behind mirror shield mm
I need 1 more fairy for your shield
i have no idea what i need for this, but thats my other song check
ive got both trash song checks
You just need the ability to use light arrows
nope, it says no with magic on
i can hint that in game! i'll go check after i do stone tower
is this the "stone" check
yes
๐ค
in that case i cant currently get it because i can only complete 2 more dunegons currently regardless of that
just keep up the good work

you have a lot of green going on we'll find something
i got a funny bird for you
i also got an extra item that i skipped past so may have been super important or might have been trash
What was it?
skipped past as in mashed through I think
ye
Oh
romani chatau?
Milk!
does that unlock anything?
only if you needed a bottle for anything
i have 3 bottles in both games, so not any more
always good to have spare though
Deku nut upgrade for Flitter!
Nice
Piece of Heart MM for chip!
3 pretty nice checks
oh, and just in time, my 15th fairy!
can i only get this before stone tower?
regardless, almost done
stone tower is pretty crazy right
Yeah
The part where you have to roll through lava as a goron has a really tight timer for a nintendo game
it wasn't to bad, especially with liberal use of save states meaning i can retry things instantly
i defo wouldn't wanna do any of stone tower without save states
isnt it a key
Yeah, and you can finish the dungeon skipping one key
(The skip is easier than doing the Goron part)
but in the rando it could be anything!
the "vanilla" experience of it blind though will mean you have to though
also can i use my new hint on oot magic please
it will ruin the game of "will it be magic or all magic things" first but oh well
World 3 MM Snowhead Temple Block Room: Player 3 Magic Upgrade (OoT)
then snowhead is my next step
yeah but i full clear everywhere anyway, even hints say not to, so "go clear snowhead" is good enough for me
the goron fire part is definitely one of the hardest parts of the game but it only took me like 3 tries
being able to quicksave at the start helped a bit, but you have enough time to stop and change direction twice, makes it way easier when you figure out that timing
Hi. No new checks for me. See you next time
you have any left?
Yeah, I have these checks left https://i.imgur.com/UjEIxMq.png
I need Powder Keg, Letter to Kafei, and two fairies of each type
As well as eye drops
And the last song for the last Skulltula
lets try to finish before the 15th that'll be one and a half mount!
Yeah that sounds fun
oooh, that means I can bring more games
its a lot of game to play continuously i'll try to basically complete my mm today though
i dont think i wanna do a half month rando though, other than maybe just doing a single hat in time game which i can complete in like 3 hours
my AHiTs always take longer than that, but I do like to include the DLCs and some DWs and "insanity" act rando so sometimes I have fun with nested time rifts
i've played way to many mods in that game so the base difficulty is pretty easy
it is the most chill of the games I like to randomize
but that's part of why I like including DWs
including dw would make it much more spicy to run, but its usually my filler game so it being super hard isn't the point
if i dont end the run with the pretty hair tie whats the point actually
Nice. Since the five frog check is known trash you should mark it off
is it? i haven't hinted/found a hint for it
though i know theres one in game somewhere
You didn't? Oh well
i was considering it, but i had more important things to hint
Always hints
- OOT Zora's River - Frogs Ocarina Game
- OOT Lake Hylia - Fishing (dual for child and adult)
- MM Romani Ranch - Sisters defense (dual for aliens and cart defense)
- MM Deku Palace - Butler Race
- MM Stock Pot Inn - Reuniting Anju and Kafei
- MM Mountain Village - Don Gero's Choir
- MM Twin Islands - Goron Race
- MM Ikana Graveyard - Night 3 Big Poe (Dampe Digging)
deku palace is a weird one to be on there
also do they have a set location or are they just "in there somewhere"
It's probably a fixed location gossip stone there
The moon also contains one hint for each mask
from the section before it, i'd say they're just in game 
Okay
just clear shadow and spirit and hint frogs then
(do shadow first for my powder keg)
No new checks for me this morning
my go mode is powder keg, spirit temple keys, light arrow, and ganons boss key behind flitters fairies
whats the sacred realm one of my funny rocks is there
It would help a lot if the tracker was like the automatic OoT tracker and had subareas with a map for each
the tracker only confuses me in dungeons
but in dungeons you're good as long as you just click one every time you get something so you can see how many you have left in the end
Yeah until you find that you missed one and don't know which one it is
its defo fine if you know the game at all
i know most of the checks outside of dungeons in mm, the actual dungeons themselves are just filled with them though and its hard to follow things especially if you have to do it out of order
Update: https://i.imgur.com/Y6jnkT9.png
lets go 1 more dungeon down
wait, i think i've used 4 out of 5 hints
these are all the checks i can get now
Did you find the frog hint?
nope
the frogs are jsut annoying, not hard
my last thing is water temple
for getting all the gems for getting nocturne
and ye, i just need longshot for that
i think i've completed the well now
its a very confusing small location when you've returned 3 times
Bottom of the Well is best done all at once with a route
To finish it in one go you need:
1- Zelda's Lullaby
2- Ocarina
3- Deku Stick or Fire Arrows
4- Keys.
5- Bombs
Optional but useful: Lens of Truth, Sword.
Biggoron sword. Just in time! https://i.imgur.com/nUJJ7be.png
chip, you got me fire temple key and didnt tell me? i think im go mode for oot now
(i did forget that i wont get the fire medalion from the temple but if i dont i get the other mask for the moon and am go mode for MM instead)
you found my chateau romani? please tell me you remember where you found it, im gonna need a refill sometime
unless the rando does something different with it
Just don't need it so much
This game sucks https://i.imgur.com/hgldYXP.png
Rain does not extinguish torches
gonna do some last min checks first, but yep moon time for me
There are checks on the moon
yes, but there are checks off the moon too
i can get the last checks from anju for example, apparently
your fire keys where got when artiks checked the log, you were here
as for chatue romani, that cant be refilled
hecc
i ahve all 6 bottles now
looks like this is the cycle im killing majora then, only time when i'd like to have infinite magic garanteed
yeah, you can just go buy some at the milk bar for 200
dont have the mask
The moon has clues for mask locations
is there a way to not have to wait the 6 in game hours for getting to clocktower top after skipping forward
Try skipping with grandma/scarecrow instead of through the song
Also remember to turn off the slow time feature
where are the moon hints?
in the trials iirc
well thats no use, i just need 1 mask not a bunch
which mask?
stone mask
Unfortunately you have to check every gossip stone on the moon
i think this is the stone mask
Yeah
What do you need that for
For looking good
i thought the zora trial was garunteed but i just rng'd it first time
completion% silly
The Zora trial has a fixed map
(This is the 3DS map)
The N64 has no map, but the paths are branched in two instead
<, <, >, < Left, Left, Right, Left
<, >, <, < Left, Right, Left, Left
>, <, <, < Right, Left, Left, Left
To find the child, any of these will do:
<, <, >, > Left, Left, Right, Right
<, >, <, > Left, Right, Left, Right
>, <, <, > Right, Left, Left, Right```
It does not tell you which gossip stones are where
i forgot how janky the goron trial is
Yeah!
It's simple if you have a map of it in your mind
I did the final boss again to get the other ending https://i.imgur.com/FOroBDm.png
do you need to do the whole anju and kafe quest for the couples mask in the rando?
because i really dont want to have to do that
otherwise ill just skip it and heat straight for the moon
Fortunately there's a gossip stone that tells you the reward
MM Stock Pot Inn - Reuniting Anju and Kafei
Or at least a hint somewhere
yes couples mask is the whole schablang
ah i did get a hint
Yeah, you don't gotta do it

i did all the side-cjhecks from it already i think
so im just gonna head straight for the moon
The game needs a ducktales moon theme mod
are there dupes of goron tunic? i just got a second one 
Yes
theres the gift from the rolly goron and the shop tunic
you can loose tunics perminantly if you get likeliked so buying them is how you get a replacement
oooh gold scale
the thingy says i can song of storms this rather than bombhu is that a 3ds thing or have i just failed 4 times 
i forgot how fucking trippy the moon is
Song of storms worked the first time for me
You just need to be as close as possible
so to do the mask trials i need all the masks, dont i? so i wont be able to get all of them in one go
but i can restart the moon to com back and collect them again, right?
You do not need all the masks.
If you don't have enough masks they'll let you do them anyway. I did all trials with two masks missing
do i get them back when i beat majora?
You get them back when time resets
Regardless of whether you beat majora this cycle
i tried standing directly below it up against the wall and it still says no 
I guess you gotta time the bombchus then
i dont have any and dunno where to get em
who is nax?
In that case you're screwed
There's a guaranteed bombchu shop somewhere but it's in one player's game, and it can be in scrubs
This is a joke hint
Nax is a community member
never mind, i figured it out
i tried the 2 gossip stones in the room, the guide meant the one in the room behind
hmm, some kind of code.. ill need to figure this out
mm beaten
i dont need to worry my pretty little head about figuring out how to get the moon mask since its a piece of herat
hey bestie, you know you wanna count beating the game as another dungeon check for hintsso i can find out if i need to do frogs
they are in my dungeons
this would be useful arti
i guess
i've done virtually every check in mm so probably not now i think about it
only frogs and waterdeed and whatever this item is called needed
and this arti
im gonna have to half do 2 dungeons again aren't i 
probably
Can you not reach the laundry pool without any items?
Laundry pool includes Kafeis house and I dont have the letter
and i dont have spirit temple keys
i dont think i have his one? honestly cant remember
ive cleaned out the swamp
You could check your tracker or the list of items you have
Garos mask is the scary one
You did say that you have Garo's Mask but not Gibdo's Mask
its like a hood with shiny eyes
In the picture: Kamaro, Gibdo, Garo, Captain
update: cant do the last trial without atleast the required number of masks to get into it
theres another check if you have all the masks i know that, but i cant do the stone tower mask trial without 4 masks and i have three left
lol
That's right. You need enough masks to get in but when you leave you don't need to have enough
So the minimum you need to do all trials in one go is 16 masks
well i have to do that trial on a new run
sigh
well majora ded
one game down
i dont wanna wait for the moon again so im gonna do the gold scale check, see if thats any good, then call it for today
nice, hope that helps lol
i have 999 oot rupees
99 green potions
I am home
did I miss something people wanted me to check?
If Chip and Mega beat MM that puts us on 4/8 games!
you beat your MM then?
No im in eternal BK as always
ah
Flitter beat both games
No
Just all the ones I have access to
ah
I need the powder keg, letter from kafei and my remaining fairies
Artiks needs my remaining fairies, because there's magic and his ganon castle key behind them
i have double magic in both games
Then what the fuck is my great bay fairy reward?
Maybe it's magic for someone else
you guys have played a lot today so lets see if I got something new
the blast mask!!
milk!

I dont think Ive found the anju and kafei hint
We need a list of all gossip stone locations
wallet upgrade!
Nice
that gives me a check in a shop
its a gold skulltula!

lets see how long it takes me
starting at 20:30
its a race
And I'm winning
the guide on zeldadungeon says you have to be a goron to get the room key
thats fake news
Yeah, incorrect. You just need to show up after the letter delivery and before the goron
(you must not talk to Anju before)
i dont know why that last part is important but it is
also once you have the room key you dont need to get it again
yes grandma please read me the carnival of time story 6 times in a row
lol
zeldadungeon has the wrong time for the day 3 visit to kafeis hideout too
32 minute check complete
the rando skips the wholesome cutscene
it was a red rupee!
perfect
you already have this too hehe
any big items today?
It was a blupee
any longshots for me so i dont gotta half do 2 dungeons?
Hint: Chip's longshot is in the very last part of the content he has to do
Sorry Chip I think you're the only one with any game to play
i guess ill check if someone has gotten me something without saying
thanks for the hylian shield, Flitter
no new checks!
Oh yeah I wanted to double check that I got all the items I could from shops so I went over some of them and bought one copy of each item
its just as likely to be anywhere else so id save frogs for last
its saying i can do more of the gerudo training ground than i can figure out, i swear i need the longshot for the back areas
Hmm its probably not wrong
i cant go the left path and i cant get the scarecrow to spawn here
i know its not wrong
i'm just being a silly and cant figure it out
You don't need longshot anywhere. You'll have to come in from the other way though
What's blocking you in the left path?
need longshot for one of the silver rupees
The one where you vertically aim up?
yeah
You can just wait under it instead and the wall master will pick you up

the wallmaster wasn't spawning, idk if i killed it or what
i waited under it for the full timer
Hm
it spawned!
This guy talks about the setup for it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0ML_vkTYpI
In this video I show you some tips and tricks for quickly clearing Gerudo Training Ground on the OoT Randomizer, including Hookshotless strategies and other corner cases.
Watch me live at https://www.twitch.tv/grafittex
It can be tricky to actually get the exact spot
starts at 10:50
i eyeballed it once i got the thing to spawn
Did it work?
ye
That's amazing
that defo feels like something that should be a yellow and not green
Well I really thought you could do the room with a regular hookshot instead of longshot
longshot found
so yeah, it does want you to do that trick to get through
or another one
That's insane
stone mask for player 4 lets go
Far too late for me to need it 
true
I needed those
postmans hat player :sweetiebotloadinggif: something
i think i got everything in water temple, once more the things aren't the best descriptors though
can i find out if i need to do froggy quest please bestie
@weary lagoon i should probably ping that and not just ask the void
key ring (woodfall) player 4 got
also i found a few fairies idk how many people need how many
shadow temple available (tommorow)
Hi
Eye drops were a purple rupee
I went ahead and double checked. It was a magic upgrade for me https://i.imgur.com/Qw9bsZK.png
those must be real bad eye drops that you can only sell em for 50
I've never had good eye drops
https://i.imgur.com/zI13yba.png Woodfall fairies are trash
you could buy some eye drops for that rupee
i had eye drops 1 time, i hated them, but they worked
Snowhead fairies are trash https://i.imgur.com/riG0Hsq.png
I actually had an eye injury as a child but all I needed was an eyepatch
my eyes kept getting stuck shut, idk why i was like 6
That was basically the same situation for me
Turns out I cut it on a sharp furniture corner while asleep
I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't open
Stone tower temple fairies are trash https://i.imgur.com/7L56rYp.png
no...
i got it last night
Oh good
i just need artiks to tell me if i gotta do frog check
Look, kid, I'm three times your size. I don't gotta tell you the password https://i.imgur.com/35ygaTd.png
Please scream when you get artis powder keg so I can hack him so he can't play
I am also looking for my powder keg
ye but I hinted mine in his shadow temple
Mine could be there too
sounds like the average frat bot party
Bongo Bongo does sound like a good name for a party host
i got 2 fairies for mega
nice
all my fairy checks are trash
its pretty late but im gonna rush some stuff since we're trying to finish tomorrow
my stone tower boss key!
megas stone tower boss key!
in the same tiny room 
spirit ring keys? I just need light arrows and ganons boss key for go mode now i think
no its already cleared in the rando
๐ค
you just go into the trials for checks
thats less fun
Just because arti said he wanted us all to be done by tomorrow, I'll finish stone tower on Thursday
twinmold dead
i dont remember at all!
the funny guide only mentions 1
but I am also in ganons castle now so ill figure it out soon
oh its an invis chest next to the switch
I remembered when I came into the room
stone tower fairy for flitter!
finished ganons castle except for the boss. Tomorrow I can do spirit and the moon. Missing light arrow and flitters stone tower fairy to beat both games.
Invisible chest next to the regular chest
i have beat both games
Nice work
maybe your anju and kafei has my light arrows 
but besty thats so much effort
thanks, I need that
survive
not be suspecitable to blunt force trauma?
Broken biggoron sword for @fierce vale!
Nice, that's a check
hes closing in on the 100%
Same
Letter to Kafei for Flitter!!
Oh thank god more content
I kept trying and failing to get infinite sword glitch so I can bomb hover to the death mountain crater bean spot
what are you missing for bolero
thanks for the blast mask
im currently trying to re-do stone tower to get to the boss, i forgot how to do it. think im nearly there
oh and ghobdo
wow spelling gibdo
Mega are you missing anything for go mode or can I rush the end
just gotta beat stone tower
so no items
i swear you will beat both games before i do that
i think i have every item in the game now
The bomber club should let you in if you have the mask that gives you bombs
i had the cleanest twinrowa of all time
I got phase 1 super fast and then she did 3 fire into 3 ice and died
Nice
nice
i just beat twinmold, it was easier both getting to and efeating the boss than i remembered
in the randomizer the chest doesnt despawn so you dont have to backtrack through the dungeon to get the chest back to hookshot
so your memory of vanilla is correct, it sucks
ah.
well in vanilla i would have found the boss key that run, so...
well thats my last two dungeons, the only checks i have left that im not 100% sure arent junk are the ikana well checks and the moon human trial, but i think everyone is in go mode now, right?
yes
so i dont need to do them, right
please dont send me items im playing tennis with ganondorf
he hits me for 4 hearts because I somehow dont have double defense
oh, i dont need to do the trials? i can just blaze though?
Yeah you can just go through the tower
The trials still have their items but you can just get the items
alright you can send me items again
So flowchart
6/8!
Excellent work
1- Storytime with granny, skip to day 2.
2- Put letter to kafei in the mailbox.
3- Tail the mailman until he delivers the letter.
4- Enter the curiosity shop while Kafei is distracted.
Does that sound good?
debating going to grab some food before taking on ganon
yes i belive thats correct
you have to do the kafe quest?
now it's a race to see if I finish my backlog of Izzy tasks before you finish these games
i thought you were go mode
I don't have to. I just don't have anything left to do
Im not sure if you have to set up the midnight meeting with Anju and talk to her there
ah
I have these checks https://i.imgur.com/OdbSEOG.png
no you dont need to set up the anju part for the kafe part
and this check https://i.imgur.com/s5zTMCM.png
oh
well couples mask is the whole thing
you're not going to get it if Anju doesnt show up
Right now I'm working on the first part on its own
check 2 you do all that stuff you mentioned then wait till the final day, or night i cant remmeber, then walk into kafe's room
theres the curiosity shop dude waiting
so youre doing 2 checks that you have to do in the anju and kafei sidequest now, then doing them again later when doing couples mask? 
Yeah, I have time
Now for the next two checks
Final day 1pm-9pm
Bro he's right here https://i.imgur.com/jr6kGmt.png
he means deku link
Bro I'm right here
Hah, the idiot lunged at me and fell in the water
OoT Magic and a Skulltula Token for chip
beat ganon
8/8!
yes Mega just ended it
I killed Majora 5 minutes ago I was waiting for a good screenshot
I had a lot of fun. Thanks for organizing this game
Can you share the spoiler file? I'm curious what everything I missed is
heres a better one
sorry your last one was better
Who the fuck is that? Pamela?
yeah and her dad
Thanks for playing my favorite randomizer with me
there were times i really wasnt having fun with this one, ngl. expecially the start when we hit a lot of brick walls.
im glad i got to do it though
probably wont do it again
maybe with different settings, or a better tracker
True. Randomized cross game dungeon entrances next time

It's a bit on the long side, but that's in part because I had never played MM before
the progression balancing was a little bit off. I got to play 70% of my game while everyone else was on 10%. Then I waited 6 weeks to finish last
Part of it is just not knowing mm like I do oot
I can do most of oot practically blindfolded, mm I just don't know that well. And I strongly dislike its dungeons...
The MM Dungeons are the weakest part of MM. They're great dungeons but cumbersome to navigate and repeat
yeah good thing MM is 80% not dungeons
Correct
All of them require backtracking in some form
Sucks ngl
link fucking whelched the sword
We could make MM dungeons suck less by having the items that require you to backtrack nonrandomized
Guaranteeing you can do the dungeon in one go
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Happened to me too!
Either way, I'm organizing an Archipelago game for November if Y'all are interested. It'll be shorter than usual, but it should still be a lot of fun.
im burned out on oot/mm for now, might look at doing one in the new year tho
is ww on archipaeligo yet?
yeah
Yes but the setup is involved
i think you said it was beta
its in alpha without customizable settings
then ill wait
so you're playing whatever the default is
i apreciate being able to play this tho, dont think i wasnt enjoying it
just wasnt as good as i hoped, felt very drawn out
probably would have more fun solo?
ive done 3 of them solo its great
You can find a list of Archipelago games that are basically ready on the server https://i.imgur.com/L3xfJvQ.png
Games that have the "PR Submitted" tag are ready to integrate and may be included in the next update
I think the gameplay of every rando is better solo because you dont have to wait, but the social part of multiworld makes up for it
agreed but this time felt a lot more drawn out than my last rando
well whatever
im gonna head out, need food
indeed, these depend a lot on progression balancing and everyone having time to play their games
part of the reason I plan on bringing even more games this time is to balance out me evidently having more time
It's announcement time again!
Thank you for playing with me in Artiks-organized OoTMMr game. I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until December. 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, the 17th. or whenever everyone who expressed interest is ready.
Also I'll ping people who might be interested here:
@fresh hill, @ancient harness, @clear summit, @weary lagoon, @fierce vale, @sage dawn, @lament tusk.
This game is shorter than usual, with only two weeks to complete, so keep that in mind and account for how much free time you have.
my b, i defo need at minimum something with a list of "checks got or not got"
so... an automated check/location tracker, as opposed to an item tracker?
i'm probably gonna skip this month, i got a pretty big secret santa to do+a quiz for next month
We struggled a lot with this tracker because it didn't tell you where in each room the checks were
yeah for me lacking an automated item tracker is a huge mark against wanting to play it in async
ok if we are doing a short two weeks after all then I've gotta think about my games
that giant page on the archipelago website that just ticks "got" checks is what i mean
the generic tracker is really nice for what it is, I just wish it included all unchecked locations too
Oh yeah, there's no way to tell if you got everything in a dungeon or not unless you kept meticulous manual count
this
For this Archipelago game I intend on playing Blasphemous, Ocarina of Time, and maybe Doom or Hollow Knight
its what you get when you click this hyper link
yeah I just misremembered what was on that page
ok I'm thinking I'll do Tunic (but start_with_sword: true to speed it up), Ender Lilies (without entrance rando), and Pseudoregalia
Sounds fun
The Steam Autumn sale starts Nov 21 so I might grab Pseudoregalia then
which is most of the games I've not played for this group yet helped test the solo AP randos for, except AHiT, partially because I did a lot of AHiT testing recently (even ended up in a group test of the online co-op mode)
if it's a short one I might join, I'll let you know
Ideally you should pick stuff that will take you three to fifteen hours depending on how much free time you have
I assume I have to send you the .apworlds as well as the .yamls for this?
Yeah, you'll need to send me just the YAMLs for games officially supported, and for unsupported games I'll also need the apworld files so I can generate a full game locally
Yes! Unless you're still deciding
nope, was just reviewing my yamls some more, found one or two other settings worth tweaking for shorter-async-safety(?)
You can run them on 60 balancing instead of 50
oh I didn't think about increasing that
tbh I've never noticed a problem with too little prog balancing, 50 just seems adequate in general
I'm down to participate. I have significantly less going on in my life now on account of being both unemployed and newly single
Ixrec has been testing Pseudoregalia to help with development. He'll know
oh it's completely stable, its issues are all unfinished stuff
the most obvious one is the placeholder image of a Touhou character for every ingame item
, but the most important one is that they haven't finished splitting the logic into different difficulty levels for all regions (and the second most important is "castle spawn"; right now you're effectively required to start 99% of seeds with the same Dungeon -> Underbelley -> Bailey path)
but they did do split_sun_greaves which I highly recommend enabling
Oh yeah I don't mind that and am down to run it.
Castle spawn would definitely be a lot more interesting, but it's not like I'm grinding these randos
same
damn, i just bought pseudoregalia today, gonna check out it tomorrow 
IT IS REALLY GOOD
I'm assuming split sun greaves breaks it into three items that increase kicks and then the normal green item rather than just the greaves and the green item?
ive played like no metroidvanias but i trust my friendโs judgment about the goodness of it
yep, each of the 4 vanilla kicks is a separate item, so you get some paths unlocked at 1 kick and other paths unlocked at 2 kicks and so on
Yeah that sounds more interesting
(in the menu it's represented as 1-4 Heliacal Powers since why not)
I mean that's the easiest way to implement it
This is the right repo right? https://github.com/pseudoregalia-modding/pseudoregalia-archipelago
the poptracker pack is also pretty good, I think it had a few known inconsistencies with the actual rando but they're hard to hit in practice and iiuc they're waiting on the base game to finish logic level splitting before properly syncing it all
You should check out the archipelago server for up to date info on the game.
I'll link you to it
Oh shit yeah I am not in that server
to quickly copy-paste from the AP thread's pins:
https://github.com/pseudoregalia-modding/pseudoregalia-archipelago/releases/latest
https://github.com/Br00ty/pseudeoregalia_brooty/releases/latest
so yes you got the right repo
Okay, I'll put together a yaml and send it to Flitter then
I already have an apworld file, so I think I just need the YAML
fun fact: Pseudoregalia is the only randomizer I've played on a logic difficulty other than the lowest (because half of the "hard" tricks I stumbled into on my own during my original vanilla playthrough
)
but for safety I gave Flitter a normal yaml
DUDE I DID SO MUCH WHACKY SHIT WITH THE SUN GREAVES IN MY NORMAL PLAYTHROUGH
DID NOT FIND CLING FOR AGES
It's okay, you didn't know clingon
did you exploit the fall cancelling of the kick to get more horizontal distance?
yessssss
And skimming walls with kick
yeah you'd probably also enjoy a solo rando on hard then
still recommend normal for this just to be safe of course
Yeah makes sense considering other people will be relying on this
Also, having trouble finding an example yaml, can you send me yours?
oh yeah, this is one of the unsupported games that expected you to do Launcher -> Generate Template Settings once you install the apworld
description: Ixrec's Pseudoregalia Template
game: Pseudoregalia
requires:
version: 0.4.3
Pseudoregalia:
progression_balancing: normal
accessibility: items
logic_level: normal
obscure_logic: true
progressive_breaker: true
progressive_slide: true
split_sun_greaves: true
anyway here's mine, obviously change player na- ok I'm too slow
Ooh, I see I see
oh I forgot about obscure_logic, that's likely fine for me since it doesn't affect execution difficulty but I'd turn that off too if you haven't done this rando before
Limiting accessibility to items makes it possible to do less of the game before you can finish
I still prefer locations
Alright. Yeah I've only done one vanilla playthrough and no rando before
locations and items are exactly the same for almost all AP games
iirc it only matters for LttP?
the core devs were thinking of removing the third setting eventually
That makes sense
accessibility: locations guarantees all locations can be reached, while accessibility: items technically allows for "self-locked keys" such as a big key being inside a big chest
apparently
(seriously who cares lol)
Oh OoT supports that too
i need to finish pseudoregalia, accidentally did the wackest path possible and then got super busy 
makes sense
I think doing the wackiest path possible is the intended experience lol
i found wall bounce and ended up in a castle and got lost
then there were funny grapple locations i couldnt do
you're not doing wacky paths until you scale Tower Remains without cling gem 
(that was so much fun but also what was I thinking)
Lol that sounds horrible
I've actually done it twice in two completely different ways now
in vanilla, I completely missed the intended path after grabbing cling and found cheesy ways to get on top of the left mini-tower without ever opening the gates at the bottom
then when I was playing on hard I felt like trying the speedrunner strat of ultra'ing from the right mini-tower and kicking around it instead
(I suck at ultras, but a mere "super" is still enough to make that work)
I gotta learn this tech before I start. I've seen runners doing slide into backflip for extra height so I'm assuming that's what ultras are
yeah, an "ultra" is any jump that has the yellow afterimages and special sound
which is technically a backflip done at a certain horizontal speed, so slides are the most common way to do it especially in speedruns
and if you don't suck you can trick the "backflip" into being a "flip wherever I want"
Yeah that makes sense. Any backflip has that effect but it looks like height scales with move speed?
exactly
apparently you can even backflip/ultra during coyote time but I never got that to work
Dude that sounds hard as hell lol
there is one coyote-reliant jump I have gotten consistent, because it's just an ordinary jump in a straight line with no other fanciness lol
oh, and apparently an ultra out of solar wind is intended, and the dev might be nerfing slide-only ultras in the future
also cling climbing and cling clipping are things that exist
now you're probably up to date with all the core tech I know
Yeah cling climbing isn't too hard, clipping feels location dependent and I don't know the locations
maybe 2 weeks is too short for wind waker
definitely location dependent
I personally haven't tried cling clips since that kind of trick doesn't appeal to me personally, though I did do it completely by accident once
That makes sense, especially if you haven't played it in a while. I will organize a December or January game if people are interested, so don't be pressured to make either option
Yeah out of bounds is a little less interesting imo
I played the wind waker randomizer twice this summer so
can you link me what games are actually fully supported on archipaeligo please?
oh i found it dw
Full list of games you only need a YAML to run
note: some might also require an emulator
Oh yeah
raft or subnautica is tempting
But I'm doing apworld files manually for Ixrec so if you have unsupported games you can play those too
right, they all require some kind of modding/emulation/etc to get the client game mod in there
can i use a modded version of the game? hard to play subnautica without a map
I don't know. Does the guide say you can?
I'll look in the Subnautica thread and see if people asked this
a game's AP randomizer mod, for modern non-ROM games, is usually compatible with other mods that are cosmetic-only or UI-only, but there's no hard guarantee and ideally the game's AP page would say something about this
well, "UI-only" modulo any in-game map tracking added as part of the AP randomizer
Looks like you can use https://subnauticamap.io
Up-to-date interactive Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero map of biomes, resources, lifepods, wrecks and all the other points of interests and collectibles.
Also Archipelago may have an automatic archipelago tracker for Subnautica
I'd set up a solo game and try it out just in case
i meant the ingame map mod
i can play without it but its harder and less fun for me personally
Feel free to pick something else
Take your time. The deadline is 10PM Friday for you
out of curiosity, did you consider Minit now that it has an AP mod too?
cool
the version I playtested definitely wasn't ready for this ("don't go in there yet or you'll softlock"
) but there was a flurry of updates after it that fixed all the biggest problems I'm aware of
For this game I'm restricting myself to released games (except Doom 2 if I decide to run it)
I've ended up in a weird place where the unsupported games I play are on average as good as the supported ones I play
heres my fucko mode settings
Nice. Those look fun
Cows give milk in vanilla
oh it shuffles the item they give you
Means you have to find every cow
there was a fascinating conversation in the AP dev channels about whether OoT could work with a generic entrance randomization algorithm because OoT is just that weird and special (tl;dr probably not possible)
iirc the biggest specific stumbling blocks were
a) they want adult and child worlds to have the same layout, but of course the logic rules are different
b) AP generally assumes anywhere you ever could reach, you can always get back to later, but adult and child link have different respawn points, which themselves can be shuffled, so ER has to account for time travelling and then death warping to wherever
Oh yeah, A is a big complicating factor
Get rotated
Industrialised cow tipping
btw im only joining this run if we get 5 super moocows
Understood
@sage dawn and @weary lagoon Advice on entrance shuffling in OoT. How annoying is it? Anything I should pay attention to? I'm thinking I should randomize dungeon entrances on simple and leave all other entrances not randomized. Thoughts?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking
Ideally, this will give me new experiences like doing Bottom of the Well as Adult Link or something
But won't slow me down too much
Thanks for the help. I decided on these settings
Third game TBD. I'm going to bed but please feel free to send me a YAML for any game you intend to play at any time
I'm randomizing kokiri sword and doing closed forest for the struggle
As long as you know what you're getting into lol
I don't want OoT to be very open from the start. I want to keep it closed so I can play the other games first
do I have to update or change anything since the last time we played
No, just your YAML
Your ocarina of time settings will need to be updated, so don't edit the old YAML, get a new one
i already gave it to you
Yeah, but if you made it by editing your old one it might be outdated
i didnt!
ill test out subnautica now i guess
hmm, i think im just going to make sure theres a fresh install of the game before going
Seems fair
there was an old install of qmodloader there, and when i uninstalled it the game wouldnt load


thats what the tracker is telling me
