As for RCT
[Hint]: RCTFlitter's Go Karts is at Spirit Temple GS Metal Fence in OoTFlitter's World. (not found)
[Hint]: RCTFlitter's Dinghy Slide is at Return to Sender in CaptainMario's World. (not found)
[Hint]: RCTFlitter's Dodgems is at Good Creek Path East Chest in Ixbird's World. (not found)
[Hint]: RCTFlitter's Wooden Wild Mouse is at LLR GS House Window in krøt's World. (not found)
Apparently I was supposed to start with Space Rings but I never got it
Had to look into the spoiler log because the client wouldn't let me hint it
is Sue the Rabbit Shoes Reward the one that requires someone to find my shoes item?
No she's the one who looks for her headband
Wristwatch for Ixrec, Flask shard for Ixrec, Megaton Hammer for Artiks, Stick for Ixrec, Toy Shovel for Ixrec, Master Ball for Artiks
And I'm back to BK mode
master ball 
oh right she gives you shoes for the headband
for today I'm thinking: get the two hinted items in ASH, then BK my Tunic slot, then more of Ender Lilies
oh I see, artiks found my headband so that's why I can get the shoes reward now
that was easy
and we're done
egg!
Thank you for golden feather and dodgems
Nocturne of Shadows for Kratta
Turtle rock small key for Dr. Romulus, Motorboat key for Ixrec
oh that'll be nice when I want to do ASH more thoroughly
All done for now
To continue, I need Dinghy slide, go kart, ferris wheel, wooden wild mouse, steeplechase.
what armor does that put Cap at
That's the very first one!
Apparently there's only two tiers
Progressive Armor
Tier I
Iron Helmet
Iron Chestplate
Iron Leggings
Iron Boots
Tier II
Diamond Helmet
Diamond Chestplate
Diamond Leggings
Diamond Boots```
wow I am terrible at fighting these frogs
I must be used to having more stagger by this point in the game
finally
I hope this seashell is worth it
turns out stealth is much more viable than I thought

is a small key about as valuable in LADX as in the other Zeldas?
Well, they're pretty valuable to me in AP
Yes unless you know how to clip through walls with the roc feather
I (usually) can't progress in a dungeon without them
Thankfully the dungeon that needs 8 keys i already have 7 of 9
For some reason there are 9 keys total
The least valuable keys I know of are in Majora's Mask
Almost all of the dungeons have no keys or the keys only open shortcuts
Tunic is now BK'd aside from the shop items I could theoretically grind for
What's in the shop?
In OoT the randomizer removes one of the locks in water temple to ensure you can't soft lock the game by making poor key choices
^
And you can navigate your way around one of the other locks, making two keys unnecessary
There are unnecessary locks in turtle rock too, i think i may have all the keys i need for there now
Still need hookshot and magic rod tho
speaking of which, how useful are maps?
In OoT each map item gives you the minimap, but also the randomizer makes it reveal some meta-information about the randomized game
I know this is supposed to be gold or something but every time I see NUGGET I think of chicken nuggets
Maps tell you if the dungeon is master quest or regular. Compasses tell you which reward is in which dungeon
time to beat the game
Lets find out what my win condition is
ganons boss key is hidden inside a dungeon
rainbow bridge is 18 heart containers
@fresh hill this is extremely important for me to progress.
that is ridiculously convenient timing
ok this room is Hamlet 6

wait that's not what you asked for
no but its real good
Better take it back
there we go, enjoy your cursed sword or whatever
nice now I can play the game
Biggoron sword deals four times as much damage as the Kokiri sword, twice as much as the master sword, but you can't block when you have it drawn
In LA, maps and compasses are useless if you know the level already or are using a tracker
Stone beaks are not needed for progression, but they do tell you free item hints
In fact i should go compile the ones i know of already
got greedy and died to the revisit miniboss 
Also it turns out that none of the trade items block progression, because you can use the rooster to bypass kiki, and the book that needs the magnifying lens is already readable from the start
Also my friend dessyreqt may be interested in joining next month to play SMZ3
speaking of magnifying lens
Which, because the book is already revealed, is a completely useless item except in one room that has invisible enemies
but it's progression, and it's not a GST
GST?
Gold Skulltula Token
Those look like golden leaves in my game
stock example of a low-value progression item
Tunic's Fairies and Blasphemous' Children of Moonlight are a similar "collect dozens to unlock <5 checks", but GSTs are the most extreme case in practice since there's 100 of them instead of Tunic/Blasphemous' 20-30, and we tend to have multiple OoT slots
Gold skulltula tokens exist in large quantities, are all marked progression and can't be changed
They're highly unlikely to be actually progression in any single game
I wonder if I can make my gold skulltula tokens local
I was actually planning to suggest that
Yeah, in the practice game i think my seashells unlocked a furry convention trap
I think literally just local_items: [ "Gold Skulltula Token" ] would do it
I suppose i could force a progression item in the seashell mansion
sweet, my miniboss had one of my golden feathers
IME the usual handling for those kinds of sidequests is to exclude_locations the reward for 100% of the thing
since completing the quest has more to do with the overall multiworld reaching a certain % than you doing anything in particular, it's usually not that fun
at least personally, I do priority_locations on boss fights that I'd otherwise be tempted to put off for after all the easy checks
Make it a priority check if you like doing it. Exclude it if you don't.
I don't mind, there's only 20 of them
@midnight depot
Ender Lilies in particular I went a bit overboard with prioritizing boss locations
Didn't I send you the megaton hammer?
Oh it was not clear
instead, have some lowercase scenery
got 'em second try
which completes west village for me
21% overall? yeah that's a good stopping point
I am not sure my overall percentage
KING DODONGO DOWN
I could measure 2 ways: by total checks, or by instrument acquisition
oh I'm just referring to the slot's total checks % on the Multiworld Tracker: https://archipelago.gg/tracker/mF81PzY6QIy3Glj_WMhQIA
you're at 56.82%
Oh cool
in fact Ixlily was the lowest % until today, now it's krøt
I was unable to beat the game today..

Good try though
hehe..
apparently the % for all of my slots combined is 360/1131 = 31.83%
which is significantly below the multiworld average
A short hike excluded would make for a more sane number
probably as it should be, especially since a few of the games I'm not playing like ASH and Terraria are known to hit high %s super early
I wonder if ASH could do anything to break up its sphere 1 a bit more, like Tunic did with ladder shuffle
Heavy mode
Start with -4 silver feathers, slowing you down and making you unable to fly or climb until you find some
also no swimming
That sounds like no fun
i think im just gonna !release my game
im sorry but i just dont want to play oot right now and im gonna be more busy than expected
well i guess you're free to take over then
Thanks!
fire temple was bottom of well
forest temple was dodongo, and i'd nearly finished dodongo aside from the boss and the deku scrubs in the room after the skull head thing
My ASH tracker is acting a bit weird
It says that I have no check available if I enable the hard logic
Weird
I think either Archipelago server is struggling or my connection is bad
client is not showing the item I picked up
Is A Short Hike up to date?
Did you refresh the server and also connect to the right port?
Yes
The game's main menu should say 1.1.0 for the randomizer version
I received my items when I booted the game
so I'm pretty sure it did connect
Ok it is now struggling
In that case, you can make me a list of checks and I guess I'll try to send them manually at a later time if the game still doesn't work
I think it's more about server connection than just the game
The client was also struggling
Ok it connected now
Maybe it was a local internet issue
To start with, I got a fairy ocarina, a bottle, a hookshot, magic, fire arrows, magic beans, a bomb bag, a boomerang, a deku shield, a fairy bow, a longshot, nayru's love, ruto's letter, another bottle, blue fire arrows, kokiri sword, din's fire, hover boots, the other ocarina, silver scale, big quiver, bombchus, lens of truth, hylian shield, 40 skulltula tokens and six deaths from ice traps
Today I learned young link can't hurt the ice breath dudes in ice cavern
ice trap for mega
BK'd. i was hoping for more than an ice trap
well, i only need a nightmare key for tail cave now
Turtle rock small key!
thanks
Golden feather for Ixbird, unused relic for ixlily
Scavenger Mask for Ixfox
Double defense for Kratta
Golden feather for Ixrec
Stone Tablet Fragment for Ixrec
Oh shit beehives are randomized
That's enough for today
More to come later

sorry i havent progressed much i havent been home all day
dont worry about playing every day
yeah, half the point of these being a month long is that there should be no pressure to play at any specific cadence
iirc it's only ever been a problem in practice if someone goes a whole week without playing even an hour or two (and/or committed to too much game and "an hour or two" isn't a significant chunk of it)
plus, the only unfound hinted item in Cap's world is at "Return to Sender"; do you even have Nether access yet?
no
i can probably make one with the water and lave bucket trick but i cant mine it yet because iirc i dont have the diamond pickaxe recipe yet
I wonder if the logic expects setting up the bucket trick a dozen times to build a whole portal that way
hopefully not
But that's not so hard
Smelt iron, make sixteen buckets, take eight buckets worth of lava, and eight of water
There should be some overworld portals and spare obsidians in chests too
That is how I accessed nether when I played
I finally found the weird egg
It was in some stupid beehive
My tracker doesn't support those so I had to go off the logs and checklist
Oh thank god this seed skips the hyrule castle stealth
Sorry
I didn't realise till after we started either, but was just gonna do it myself
I did
Song from Sheik should be renamed
Song from Shrek
Oh my god the map is frighteningly open
I will stop here and carry on later
@fierce vale fyi https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/pull/3128
If you pick up items while offline, they'll still send once you reconnect
huge
really though, if it lets you do enemy rando then that's pretty kewl
What if you do enemy rando by yourself?
idk
I'm gonna play some more Psychonauts because a poptracker pack for it came out literally 15 minutes ago
so the main achievment i should be going for is Return To Sender right
that should be an easy one
I don't know offhand how important it is, just that it's the only unfound hinted check in your world so it might be
ok it is important
Yes
oh I found kratta's Lens of Truth
highlights of tonight's haul were
Ixnaut sent Stick to Dr. Romulus ((BBA2) Trapeze Platform)
Ixnaut sent Bottle with Milk to Meganoot ((BBLT) Basic Braining Complete)
Ixnaut sent Song of Time to krøt ((LOMA) Behind Lasers Left 1)
Ixnaut sent Lens of Truth to krøt ((LOMA) Final Skyscrapers Left)
Ixnaut sent Old House Key to Ixfox ((LOMA) Final Skyscrapers Right)
might as well get the Old House checks while I'm at it and re-BK Tunic
oh, you also found a lot of my fox money, so I can get the other shop checks right now
and done
hm... Tunic is my only slot BK'd at <50%, probably worth spending a few hints there
@clear summit this ladder would probably allow me to reach Rom's hookshot
Tunic has a ladder ?
the base game has several dozen ladders, but they're fixed parts of the environment
the randomizer recently added a "ladder shuffle" option that turns them into AP items, with the primary goal of breaking up the game into smaller chunks, especially reducing how much you have access to early on
ok, for PSI Rank 85 (I passed rank 60 this session), I just need access to more Psychonauts levels in general, and two of the big things blocking my progress there are:
@weary lagoon @midnight depot
my other two slots are far from BK'd so no point hinting those yet
oh i was thinking of the Zelda 1 ladder
I am pretty sure "Stage 3" is in one of your games
oh yes, that's at my Next To Oatmeal (what a great location name)
I'm not sure exactly what each of the theater locations require, but I'm pretty sure Cobweb Duster is one of the big blockers for them
my Cobweb Duster -> Jay's Stage 3 -> my East Forest Ladder -> Rom Hookshot
is at least part of The Chain
I can hint for Sundered Grove later today but it doesn't do anything if I don't have Stage 3
oh no Next to Oatmeal requires a lot... looks like the Candle and Megaphone and Pyrokinesis
I can afford two more Psychonauts hints but unsure if I want to spend them now when "only" half of my slots are BK'd
yeah four hints is enough for one night, let's see what Flitter and Artiks say about those other locations and whether I find anything in my other two slots when I fully BK those (likely this weekend)
Due to the amount of checks, RoR2 can be a huge roadblock for everyone
Basically like half of its checks are locked behind Stage 3 no matter what I get additionally
The Chain ™️ so far:
Ixnaut's Cobweb Duster + Candle + Megaphone + Pyrokinesis
unlocks
Jay's Stage 3
which unlocks
Ixfox's East Forest Ladder
which unlocks
Rom's Hookshot
That Oatmeal do be really important
and I still have zero memory of what's going on in that level or why there's oatmeal involved 
JayASH's Fishing Rod is locked by my flippers which are in Sky Meadow: Chest 8 in JayROR's world
don't know if that links any of the chain
Getting Sky Meadow means I can clear RoR2 
does that mean my flippers are a very late get?
It may or may not, at least it is later than Ix's one
crap
Very likely that you will get hookshot before flipper
when a slot passes 50% early it does tend to mean it'll get blocked hard later
well at least the hookshot will unlock a bunch of checks
That one is post plantera iirc
So I need uh...one more post-mech and post-plantera iirc
Sorry, hint is not a valid command.
For a list of valid commands, type !help.```
thanks sweetie i was in the wrong window
I need post-skeletron prime and post-plantera
By then I will get post-plantera dungeon which gives me the achievement
i need 5 more checks for another hint
maybe i should have looked for a small key (key cavern)
That also means I can beat the game with one more item I think 
Terraria is weird, I feel like they didn't count the progression as linear
oh i still need the nightmare key for key cavern
@fresh hill whirl island ill need the badge that lets me surf. Dont know which at the top of my head. Might need other items too but surf for sure
google says "To be able to use Surf, you have to beat Morty, the Gym Leader of Ecruteak City."
"the Fog Badge"?
Hmm, I recieved another silver feather
I wonder how many feathers I need to cheese the game
he has the fog badge
I want to say 7 gold feathers is supposed to be what you need to do everything but that's probably without silvers and I have no clue where I'm pulling that from
7 is what the game says
But I am pretty sure the game is clearable if you know how
And probably even less with silver
I could reach places where I think I am not supposed to
@weary lagoon what do you need for this?
Damn
idk if I'll bruteforce to clear but at least now I know I can soon
I did assume so since I could reach pretty close to the peak with 3 gold and 1 silver
And a bucket
The bucket was very helpful
hm, the ASH poptracker doesn't include silver feathers?
well I remember having at least 1 silver and poptracker says I have 5 gold now
and indeed only 6 checks still out of logic on easy mode, I think these are mostly the ones locked by specific quest items
next time I feel like APing I'll probably focus on Ender Lilies
mirror shield and progressive strength upgrade @cold valve
and keys? Not sure if I have those
how much of EL is open to me anyway... ok, that feels like 70%ish
It's time for more OoT
Camping permit for Jay
55 seconds Dampe!
The Manechat record is Artiks with 52 seconds
A hundred rupees for Dr. Romulus. Why was that marked as progression?
I know money logic tends to vary a lot from game to game, and at least some mark "large" money items as prog and smaller ones as filler
Bottle grotto small key, post eye of cthulu, hylian shield for kroot
Ooh, post EoC is actually useful
Solarbeam for Artiks
Ass move
Scale for Kratta
Legendary item for Jay
Chain of sorcery for Ixrec
That's it for today
and I need the Fred's Mind I hinted earlier to reach that level
since I found krøt's song of time yesterday, hopefully they can get at least one of those
Why does it lack Gold Skulltula Token
that item sucks
GST are useful!
but naturally the weird egg is just more useful
i think its actually probably the most important item on the list? technically, as it unlocks quite a few checks (zoras letter and lullaby, cuckoo game and eponas song)
not sure the others do

bro, you really gonna make a poll without the hookshot badge...
bro.. I dont know that game
I don't know what a weird egg does, but the sword in LA is not very important as it turns out
The weird egg unlocks the mask shop for all settings
Zeldas letter if unshuffled
3 songs if songs are on song locations
its truly subarashii
I rarely use the sword in my game; the boomerang is my usual weapon
Occasionally I'll need the sword for something specific
three songs? you have epona and lullaby checks, whats the third?
saria
im thinkin
i play some zelda before gym
just out of respect for the anglers key
thanks for the light arrow
magic for flitter
lens of truth for flitter
@fresh hill is hourglass good
sadly no
That's every fish type (not counting different varieties of each)
Let's play OoT
Good luck!
Minuet of forest for Kratta, stone tablet fragment and Fairy for Ixrec
Back to work for Ixrec
That's all for now. More later
let's check on LA
a few handy keys! let's see what i can get for y'all with these
oh sweet, i can get an instrument!
LADX needs an instrument randomizer
Bagpipe, guitar, theremin, accordion, bassoon
Many fun instruments never get to shine
whaaat
Frost legion is a side challenge that doesn't have any checks behind it
Maybe one?
can you check my YAML
Yes! For what?
the priority locations
that was the Genie Heart Piece
er, Genie Heart Container (Bottle Grotto)
Priority Locations: Angler Fish Heart Container (Angler's Tunnel), Evil Eagle Heart Container (Eagle's Tower), Facade Heart Container (Face Shrine), Genie Heart Container (Bottle Grotto), Hot Head Heart Container (Turtle Rock), Moldorm Heart Container (Tail Cave), Slime Eel Heart Container (Catfish's Maw), Slime Eye Heart Container (Key Cavern)
ok cool, and what do those do again?
It must be a progression item then
But what does frost legion give you that's progression?
the other key was useful but i need to hookshot before i can make use of it
no idea, i haven't played terraria in years
Jay has Zenith as a goal, which means he needs to collect a ton of different swords and mix them up in a bowl
But frost legion primarily gives you cosmetics
oh yeah, i don't think i need rupees for anything else; i've made all the big purchaces already
i only need to buy a 100 rupee raft ride now
krt
oh right, I don't have claw, I can't take the direct route from here to ruined castle
maybe I need to finish Stockade after all, I think that exit works with just hook/dash/jump
I'm just glad no games have crashed because of it yet

best spirit getto
oh that's right, this is also a dead end without claw
vanilla route through Catacombs it is then
well that couldn't have been more appropriate
since the "relics" in this game are usually things like "crest of a knight who died miserably after watching everything they ever loved succumb to the Blight"
my personal favorite is when I was shuffling this with AHiT and got a "Pick up Relic (Cool Cow)"
That's the last weird egg!
progress
today's haul, grouped by player:
Ixlily sent Small Key Ring (Forest Temple) to Arti (Cliffside Hamlet 11 - Furious Blight x10)
Ixlily sent Clear Bell to Artipkmn (Stockade 15 - Hoenir, Keeper of the Abyss)
Ixlily sent 3 Ender Pearls to CaptainMario (Twin Spires 05 - Chain of Sorcery)
Ixlily sent Looting III Book to CaptainMario (Twin Spires 17 - Amulet Fragment)
Ixlily sent Progressive Armor to CaptainMario (Catacombs 19 - Fallen Archer)
Ixlily sent Motorboat Key to FlitterASH (Cliffside Hamlet 15 - Stagnant Blight x30)
Ixlily sent Small Key (Water Temple) to Meganoot (Cliffside Hamlet 11 - Hamlet Scrawl)
Ixlily sent Iron Boots to Meganoot (Catacombs 13 - Furious Blight x10)
Ixlily sent Progressive Strength Upgrade to OoTFlitter (Twin Spires 16 - Monument Engraving)
Ixlily sent Dio's Best Friend to JayROR (Catacombs 02 - Stagnant Blight x10)
Ixlily sent Gerudo Membership Card to krøt (Cliffside Hamlet 10 - Gerrod, the Elder Warrior)
Ixlily sent Song of Storms to krøt (Cliffside Hamlet 15 - Furious Blight x10)
Ixlily sent Sarias Song to krøt (Twin Spires 01 - Fallen Sentinel)
Ixlily sent Boss Key (Ganons Castle) to krøt (Twin Spires 05 - Amulet Fragment)
Ixlily sent Ocarina to krøt (Twin Spires 11 - Stagnant Blight x30)
Ixlily sent Weird Egg to krøt (Twin Spires 12 - Amulet Fragment)
Ixlily sent Progressive Scale to krøt (Catacombs 19 - Chain of Sorcery)
@wet field in particular appears to have had a lot of good items in my EL world
despite everything, you're still you
So true
This is good because tomorrow evening I will be going hard in the paint
paint?
TIL
The paint is the free throw lane
Let's play OoT. The iron boots mean I can access all of water temple
[Hint]: Meganoot's Progressive Wallet is at Secret Island Beach Seashell in Ixbird's World. (not found)
This will help me do water temple, if you can do it soon
well it is ASH
Secret Island is just out from your room
Instead of following the beach, swim opposite the door
that was easy
Thanks!
With the extra wallet space I can buy the zora tunic which gives me infinite swim time
and an ice trap for the same slot, nice
I stashed spare fish to sell, which should allow me to get it right away
and I'll stop there
ah yes, the classic gaming strategy of storing your wealth in illiquid but stable assets
Secret Island is such a good and fun location
I'm not sure if I ever got here in vanilla
Shit, the zora tonic is 300 rupees, not 200
[Hint]: Meganoot's Progressive Wallet is at Angler Fish Heart Container (Angler's Tunnel) in Dr. Romulus's World. (not found)
Fred's Letter for Ixnaut
I assume that will be important when I get Fred's Brain
Sky meadows for Jay
Bottle grotto small key for Dr. Romulus
[Hint]: Meganoot's Mirror Shield is at Bottom of the Well MQ GS West Inner Room in krøt's World at Desert Colossus -> Spirit Temple Lobby. (not found)
Oh you're doing Master Quest
Twenty rupees for Artiks
It was a big chest so it must be important
[Hint]: Meganoot's Megaton Hammer is at On a Rail in CaptainMario's World. (not found) @shy oyster if you're available, this is something I need.
Also, legendary item for Jay
One step closer to beating the game
Toadstool for Dr. Romulus
Meganoot sent Ladder to Beneath the Vault to Ixfox (Fire Temple Scarecrow Chest)
too bad I can't reach the east half of the map yet
A Short Hike is fun and easy!
I recommend the three races goal if you just want a race to the top of the mountain to be your final goal. Help everyone is a lot of work. Catch all fish is also a fun goal
To actually complete your goal, you must go back home and take a nap
It's all your remaining checks
You can do !missing and !remaining to see what you have left to do
Nah I'll probably just slowly enjoy the game until I 100%, there aren't a lot of checks left anyway
Okay. Let's stop here for today
Arti JayASH Shovel Bottom of the Well GS West Inner Room Ocarina of Time Graveyard Warp Pad Region -> Shadow Temple Entryway
Dr. Romulus JayASH Fishing Rod Master Stalfos Item (Catfish's Maw) Links Awakening DX Vanilla
Those two will be phenomenal I think
Hint for gold fishing rod
There is a gold fishing rod in ASH?
Makes you catch rare fish
It's great because the rare varieties of fish give more money
You get it when you redeem one fish of each type
It might not be an archipelago item
Progressive hookshot, chain of sorcery, small keys, zora tunic
Maybe the 200 rupees
I didn't even see the hookshot
I think half of them or even more are shovel checks
Now that is a huge yikes
Yeah, shovel is huge
I think machine part is important for crystal
the items from my games in this list are all unimportant
Not even chain?
Chains of sorcery are handy to have but not progression
yeah, useful but not important
last I played I already had 13 relic slots which ought to be more than enough
Is Bottom of the Well GS West Inner Room hard to get? that would give me bunch of those checks
its not hard i just need the keyring for bottom of the well
I see
needs flippers
also needs flippers

also needs angler key
it's the only thing blocking, too, i could get it now if i could get into the dungeon, but i need the flippers to get there
I swear we have one super fucked up giant chain of checks
i did get the toadstool and a tail cave key, that's 2 checks (at least)
thats normal when a couple of games havent been played for 5 days
it'll get done in the weekend 
i think kratta's gonna bust it open tonight
Yee
Stage 3 is in Ixnaut's "Next to Oatmeal"
Which requires some bunch of stuff iirc
Ixnaut's Cobweb Duster + Candle + Megaphone + Pyrokinesis
unlocks
Jay's Stage 3
and i think 2(?) more small keys for angler cave
Meganoot Ixnaut Cobweb Duster Gerudo Training Ground Heavy Block Fourth Chest Ocarina of Time Death Mountain -> Dodongos Cavern Beginning
Got it
Weird egg won
now the world is our oyster
We are so fucking back
im playing zelda
and I already found
progressive marksmanship 3
biggoron sword for megaflitter
to get jays item I need this
to get that I need gtg keys
bro...
no way I missed that
i got jays item
pokemons time
looks like I have cut and the badge that lets me surf now.
anyone know of a good pokemon that can learn cut?
Feraligater can use cut, can it not?
Come on you gotta
my tracker says I can do whirl island
someone wanted something there
crystal needs some QoL
dragging around 2 HM slaves for whirlpool, waterfall, rock smash, strength, and flash is very bad
Just teach your friends HMs
Waterfall and strength are good enough to put on regular Pokemon
i have surf and strength on regular pokemon
Both are good enough, yeah
I think you might be able to have one HM slave with waterfall, whirlpool and rock smash.
unfortunately rock smash is a tm and my cut guy has it
I found Lugia
but it was a lvl 60 Abra
that teleported away
@fresh hill you have freds mind
the red gyarados is the shiny version of my starter
I'm you but prettier
let's play link's awakening
found my own seashell
only 2 left for the mansion check
4 emeralds for cap
that's it for now
thanks, UT confirms I have 20-something new reachable checks
looks like that includes the check with Jay's "Post-Skeletron Prime", so I'll do that now
I'm you buy prettier
Ixnaut sent Post-Skeletron Prime to JayTRR ((WWMA) Castle Tower)

I have 10 checks left in ASH and somehow one of them is progressive hookshot
I have
- 1 Salesman Golden Feather
- Salesman Tuition
- Hawk Peak Race
- Fish with Permit
- 3 Fish/All Fish
- Wristwatch
- Boat Challenge
- Shell Kid (2 checks)
left
Is this hard or require a lot of items @wet field
@cold valve got me interested in this. So how does it work and how do I join the next thing?
@midnight depot can get you set up when he wakes up, he knows all the things
the next one isnt before may though
you can look at supported games here though https://archipelago.gg/
essentially we're all playing randomizers and the item pool is shared amongst all players
Probably when the entrance is ganons castle 
Lol, Adventure is supported. I could play Secret of Evermore. It's been a while since I played it.
and if you have a higher tolerance for modding/setup effort (especially if it's for a specific game you really like), https://discord.com/channels/731205301247803413/1009608126321922180 is where most of the "unsupported" Archipelago implementations can be found
translators note you must be in the archipelago discord to see this link
hm, we're at 52% overall on the 13th, and the slot farthest behind is my Tunic, mostly because it was hard BK'd at 20-something (though there's a little more I can do now it'd probably reach 30-something tops), seems pretty good so far
my crystal is very open
im missing the badge that lets me use strength
that might be the only thing im missing to get everything except Red (all badges)
My world map after I giga-spammed teleportation potions
I think my Psychonauts slot is nearly BK'd, Tunic has one area open, Ender Lilies probably has another quarter I could do, and ASH as always has nearly everything open I just haven't felt like it yet
(I use pylon mode because fuck this I wanna play large map without taking minutes to move around)
Funnily enough, after all that, I still haven't found my sword shrine
food stall for RCTFlitter
I love when I play RoR2 Archipelago and I start the very first stage like this
Progressive Scale for Arti
Light Arrows for Mega(Flitter)
Water Temple Boss Key for Flitter

new team member
@fresh hill this would help me level up captainmario
don't have access to it atm
A hint costs 36 points. You have 128 points.
hm
so The Chain that we know of requires me to get Cobweb Duster + Candle + Megaphone + Pyrokinesis, someone already found my Candle, the Cobweb Duster I spent a hint on already, I've been hesitant to hint the other two
think it's worth hinting Sasha's Brain? it's anyone's guess whether the player who has it would be able to get it to me anytime soon to unblock Exp Share
no rush here
cool
Hi.
My midterm exams are starting up soon so I'll ramp down my contributions for a while
I'll still make an effort to play a little every day
dont lose
RCTFlitter sent Dio's Best Friend to JayROR (OpenRCT2_109)
Dio's Best Friend is one of my favorite Risk of Rain items. It's basically a second life. In a swingy game like that where a mistake can cost you the run it's invaluable
it's also interesting from an AP design standpoint that RoR AP classifies DBF as a progression item
In a high enough difficulty, it's worth the progression classification
Which makes sense, having like 4 DBF when starting can make the run a bit trivial
...Which I have 8
Basically a cat
rn I start with 48 common items, 24 uncommon items, 6 legendary items, 8 DBFs, 4 boss items, 14 lunar items, 20 equipment, bunch of scraps, 32000 exp, some 4k money
and a radar scanner, which is really good to start with
So this happens
And since Archipelago provides me 10 lunar coins every run, I can actually just pick up them, insta-restart, and grind
Nice
Well technically that is. I'm not planning to grind bunch of lunar coins rn
But yeah, Archipelago RoR2 is a lunar coin printer
gym done the grind continues to make my team strong enough for Kanto 💪🫀
as in irl gym
not pokemon gym..
me putting 5 x-speed on eevee every encounter to increase friendship
Are you making it an Umbreon or an Espeon?
Well
I thought I was making an Espeon
but now im not sure..
????
I got trolled
@fresh hill i got another item in your game that ill need eventually.
Hi. Welcome! I see the others already explained parts of it. See the pins for a little guide. All I need from you if you want to join next Month's game is a YAML file containing the config for each game
If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you want to test a game before you join to make sure it works, I can generate a practice game for you (or you can do that on your own if you like)
Turns out you can skip the boring cutscene where you jump a ramp, break the boat and get it fixed
Just back out from the ramp and circle around
[root at 2024-04-13 18:19:13,076]: Notice (all): FlitterASH (Team #1) has completed their goal.
I only have a few checks left so I'll release
FlitterASH sent Ladders near Overworld Checkpoint to Ixfox (Outlook Point Dog Gift)
I still have no idea how to get that check
FlitterASH sent Fire Arrows to krøt (Collect 15 Seashells)
Next let's play OoT
Thank you for Mirror shield, biggoron sword, light arrows, keys
Camping Permit for Ixrec
Randomizing individual keys sucks
thats true
[Hint]: Meganoot's Zora Tunic is at Tough Bird Salesman Golden Feather 4 in JayASH's World. (not found) @clear summit
It'll help me do water temple. You can get money by fishing up rare fish varieties and selling them
Meganoot sent Bait to JayASH (Water Temple Compass Chest) this should make it faster
it turned to night so I cant get espeon for now
Just change your clock
seems like theres no way to advance to morning other than letting the game run for 12 hours (or 6 with fast forward)
Oh
Bold of you to assume that I have a fishing rod
I'll have to find them
That's tough for me because I need to find 3 more keys to free the carpenters
Oh you need to free all carpenters to get it?
My other game's gerudo membership card
That was where it is
Time to fight Twinrova
gtk, pretty sure I'll need Unlock for that one
WTF
Today I learned you can one cycle Twinrova
With three biggoron sword jump slashes
Yeah I have it set to be the same as vanilla
Pineapples for Dr. Romulus
But I also made the membership card an important check
I never played vanilla because I hate the cutscenes
That's kinda based
I think it requires the megaton hammer, which last night I discovered I can just go get
I could actually beat the game at this point if I skip the ganon castle trials, but that's out of logic so I don't want to
Yeah that's very fair
Wouldn't wanna beat half the seed and then have nothing to do
Er
Wouldn't wanna beat the seed in half the month and then have nothing to do
Bitch ass fire keese burned my shield away
Meganoot sent Ladders near Dark Tomb to Ixfox (Bottom of the Well Front Center Bombable Chest)
Meganoot sent Small Key Ring (Water Temple) to Arti (Bottom of the Well Compass Chest)
I managed to get invisi-choked https://i.imgur.com/Co2Kp2E.png
Unless you know that pressing buttons clears the choke this is a softlock
Meganoot sent Siren's Call to JayROR (Bottom of the Well Like Like Chest)
Meganoot sent Gloria's Trophy to Ixnaut (Gerudo Training Ground Heavy Block Second Chest)
Meganoot sent Cobweb Duster to Ixnaut (Gerudo Training Ground Heavy Block Fourth Chest)
Both marked progression
[Hint]: Meganoot's Megaton Hammer is at On a Rail in CaptainMario's World. (not found) @shy oyster can you get this?
Meganoot sent Bloody Knight's Claws to Ixlily (Gerudo Training Ground Freestanding Key)
yeah it's gonna take me a while though
If you can finish the game faster you can do !release after and that'll give me the item
well i cant make Eyes of Ender yet so i'll have to do On A Rail
Turns out you can skip two keys, so you need seven out of nine!
This is enough for tonight
I'm going to play the other OoT tomorrow!
ok that's probably 90% of EL open to me now (Bloody Knight's Claws is basically Mantis Claw)
and Cobweb Duster is indeed huge for Psychonauts
not sure if there are any hinted items I can reach now
Hopefully I got enough things for my other slot https://i.imgur.com/q5O9KtP.png
the Tunic ladders sound promising too but I'm not sure exactly how much they open up
Can the universal tracker account for those?
oh yes, the logic is completely deterministic so UT's fine with it
It has a convenient beehive randomizer checklist for me https://i.imgur.com/RLzCu4O.png
the poptracker pack has a ladder shuffle update in the works but since it isn't (wasn't?) done yet my Tunic sessions use a mix of UT and poptracker
Let me compile all the hints in my games that other people want and that I want
Meganoot's Megaton Hammer is at On a Rail in CaptainMario's World. (not found)
Meganoot's Progressive Wallet is at Angler Fish Heart Container (Angler's Tunnel) in Dr. Romulus's World. (not found)
Meganoot's Zora Tunic is at Tough Bird Salesman Golden Feather 4 in JayASH's World. (not found)
RCTFlitter's Go Karts is at Spirit Temple GS Metal Fence in OoTFlitter's World. (not found)
RCTFlitter's Wooden Wild Mouse is at LLR GS House Window in krøt's World. (not found)
let's go see what those pineapples unlock
oh shit i got the mambo song too, thanks!
that will make travel a bit more convenient
psicard 19 for @fresh hill
i don't know what those do
ah crap i closed the emulator, now i gotta redo that
i do if i want my save state to be accurate
Why do you want that?
psicards contribute to leveling up, only relevant in rando because every 5 levels is a check
and in this particular multiworld, we know my Level 85 location has an important item
anyway i already redid it since it was just teleport, walk, cave, talk, cave, save
so it was a good item? or useless
on its own it doesn't do much, like a small number of rupees
Technically a junk item, practically useful
maps, compasses, consumeable items like bombs and rupees, and technically stone beaks are all useless for me
stone beaks are only kinda useful in that they give item hints but so far nothing important. stuff like "your gel is in whoever's world at some location"
so if you come across any of those in a shop or optional path, don't bother for it
i think someone already got my nothing too
there's a chest with nothing in it because the miniboss stole the hookshot from that chest
OoT hints have options for how useful they are
I set it to async, which guarantees they're all somewhat useful
i wonder if i can set the owl statues as checks. they show up in the tracker but poorly
it's annoying in magpie because it picks up available owls in normal logic but doesn't clear them when i read them so i have to do it manually
oh i figured it out, i can turn off vanilla checks and they all go away
Now my game is 1 check away from clearing
Which is the fabled Stage 3 
Unfortunately Siren's Call doesn't unlock anything by itself
My current state
RoR2: Stage 3 will be huge, it will unlock literally like 100 checks and the game will be in a clearable state
Terraria: Post-Plantera and Post-Golem are the only roadblock left, Post-Plantera is especially important, which kratta said will send soon™️
A Short Hike: 10 checks left, so I can slow down; Zora Tunic I will see if I can get soon since it's just money
probably all of my slots have varying amounts I can do, but none of the hinted items are reachable, so whenever I feel like playing again I'll most likely wander around Tunic and EL
EL and ASH were very open from the start and never close to BK'd, Tunic and Psychonauts were BK'd repeatedly and will likely BK again next time I play either
although it just hit me EL has a ton of unspent hints and hardly anything left to spend them on, so might as well:
that also blocked on Stage 3?
was worth a shot
do we know where stage 3 is?
it's in the dreaded Oatmeal Chain
Are you crazy
in fact, since my candle and cobweb duster are both found, now's probably a good time to commit to hinting one of the other oatmeal chain items
it might be expecting one of the other pyros to come first
(I don't know how many there are)
There are two
Levitation and shield has three. Invisibility seems to only have one
Oh wait there's invisibility 2
@dawn wigeon is also interested in joining
Welcome to the thread! See the pins for a guide. Pick a game to play and provide me with a setting file if you want me to include you in next month's game
I can help you test games to make sure your setup works
Well I created a single SM room to see if I can get the setup working with my SNES
https://archipelago.gg/room/CuBnwgGSRpOx2EDIABo43g this is the room (partly putting it here so I can open on my laptop)
You can use admin commands to send yourself an item in a singleplayer game
Just do /send playername itemname
Not every emulated game does patching
Some do memory editing
Like Spyro (currently in development. You'll need the archipelago discord server to get a working beta)
Well it's Super Metroid, I can't imagine any of the SNES games wouldn't do a patch
I keep finding vanilla roms lol
oh it put it in downloads
Or I guess wherever the patch is
k it's reading my progress now online
tracker is out of sync with my actual progress though since I got an item then died
If you send an item to the archipelago server for another player, it will remain sent forever. If you start a new game in the same room, the server will give you all items that have been sent to you
But it'll leave the items that are local to you where they are in the case of patched games
So you have to find those again unless you save or use a save state
lets play some zelda
i dont think ive looked at what dungeon is in my water temple yet
Fire temple, I'll need goron tunic or wallet to clear this
This time I did the majority of water temple without the zora tunic.
By my estimation most tasks took me one minute of being underwater and I had twenty seconds spare
yeah the only one you could get in trouble with is the one under the tower in the middle
I had no Zelda's lullaby for that one
For fire temple there's a surprising amount of cool rooms separating hot rooms, but it's not as easy as water temple
It's okay because Pikachu can do it as is
Pikachu sucks..
lets try the elite 4
this might be winable because its kakuna
hey flitter whats strong against dark type
ghost i think
my only ghost move is on Espeon I think she loses the 1v1 to Umbreon
You have shadow ball
fighting and bug to memory
Teach it
yeah thats my ghost move on espeon
Ghost and psychic are the only types strong to dark in gen 2
i thought psychich was weak to dark
yeah
It is fighting and bug that deal more damage to dark
the dark type elite 4 has Weepinbell on their team
I always forget that Houndoom is gen 2 and not 3
hes kind of the icon of team magma
!!
Thank you for shadow temple boss key, magic, lens of truth, fire temple small keys, third slingshot, goron's bracelet, third bow, my 50th gold skulltula, blue fire arrows, bottom of the well small keys, double defense, golden scale, water temple boss key, silver gauntlets, gerudo membership card, carpenter key, and enough heart containers that I didn't die from ice traps
You should have evolved me into a dragonite
Id love to but I think you are too low lvl
I think you just need six more levels or so
bro relax..
i guess he can have 3 dragonites and moltres when hes the champion
I won
I dont think doing that unlocked anything but I got a lot of xp
oh it was one check, but the tracker thought I had already done it for some reason
@fresh hill I need this to use strength and also to face Red
@wet field this too.
Okay, so the only way to get to Hyrule Castle is through the lost woods bridge
And the only way to the lost woods bridge as a child is through Gerudo Fortress
And the only way to Gerudo Fortress is through the Market
But the door is closed!
im sure you can open it soon
Can you open it as child?
which door..
Does it stay open if you open it as adult?
The gate leading to and from the desert
Overworld randomizer is especially fucked because I set it to minimal and there's no guarantee every area is accessible
OoTFlitter sent Small Key (Color Dungeon) to Dr. Romulus (Gerudo Training Ground Heavy Block Second Chest)
OoTFlitter sent Golden Feather to JayASH (Gerudo Training Ground Before Heavy Block Chest)
Blaine just running his gym alone with no other trainers in a fucking cave because his old home and gym were swallowed by a volcano is pretty metal
OoTFlitter sent Small Key (Angler's Tunnel) to Dr. Romulus (Gerudo Training Ground Maze Right Central Chest)
the problem is that as long as you arent dragonite you cant learn fly
so I have to bring along this lvl 19 Articuno to fly me around instead of a real party member
Do the elite four again
Turns out that's what I had to do
OoTFlitter sent Incompetent Sinner to Ixlily (Song from Impa)
Zelda's letter was Zelda's letter
the boyyzzzz
All right. Enough of that seed
Let's play something fun
[Hint]: RCTFlitter's Monorail is at Witch's Thicket 17 - Eleine's Diary 2 in Ixlily's World. (not found)
Meganoot sent Small Key (Catfish's Maw) to Dr. Romulus (Colossus Great Fairy Reward)
Meganoot sent Memory Vault 9 to Ixnaut (Water Temple Central Pillar Chest)
Slingshot for Kratta
Turns out the Zora Tunic is optional for every single water check
Sun's song for Kratta
I think I just did the lighthouse race but no check was awarded for it?
You need to do the race twice
oh the rematch is mandatory
The first time Avery takes the easy route. The second one she makes it harder for you
The third time she copies your best time
I think the second is the one that gives the medal for all of them except the hawk peak race
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Megaton Hammer is at (WWMA) Blacksmith's Haybale in Ixnaut's World. (not found)
I think for the next seed I want to try linking all gold skulltulas, instead of keeping them local
ok, that's enough bird for now, saving up here
UT says this is not available unfortunately
no idea why though
so Tunic's up next because I apparently can now get Rom's hookshot
Oh good
is this important?
No.
i totally forgot that rails are crafted in groups of 16 instead of 3 so this cheevo will be easier than i membered
Oh nice!
just gotta do a lot of mining lol
"Progressive Confusion" is a fun item name
out of context it sounds more like trap than progression
also i can make blaze powder now ! so i can go and try and find a stronghold soon
DIAMOND SWORD RECIPE 
it is very annoying how it has to cycle through every single thing ive ever gotten when i log onto the server
some AP mods have settings to disable or skip those animations
In OoT you just fast forward through the animations
I've actually never done that
It's a lot of fun!
Tunic is officially re-BK'd
I think the interesting items this time were:
Ixfox sent Small Key Ring (Ganons Castle) to Arti (Fortress Courtyard - Below Walkway)
Ixfox sent Progressive Weapons to CaptainMario (Quarry - [West] Below Shooting Range)
Ixfox sent Small Key (Shadow Temple) to Meganoot (Patrol Cave - Holy Cross Chest)
Ixfox sent Nocturne of Shadow to OoTFlitter (Quarry - [West] Lower Area Below Bridge)
Ixfox sent Beads of Fealty to JayROR (Overworld - [Northwest] Fire Wand Pickup)
Ixfox sent Prelude of Light to krøt (Overworld - [East] Page Near Secret Shop)
Ixfox sent Small Key (Forest Temple) to krøt (Quarry - [West] Shooting Range Secret Path)
Ixfox sent Hookshot to Dr. Romulus (Forest Belltower - Obscured Beneath Bell Bottom Floor) 
Shadow temple small key is nice. I think I need a couple more before it's worth returning
Nocturne of shadow is huge because of overworld randomizer making it stupid annoying to move around
nice
let's see, I have 2 hinted items in Ixfox, one is in Cathedral which I believe I need Prayer to reach and I already know that's waiting on the Psychonauts Level 85 check
the other is krot's mirror shield in my lower quarry which requires more ladders, so
I'm gonna do just enough EL to get your Monorail and then Psychonauts
🍌
Thanks
Bah. Nocturne of Shadow leads to no new checks because I have no means of making fire
Having sun's song is such a treat
Now I don't have to wait to kill gold skulltulas or wait for the drawbridge to lower
while I'm down in Witch's Thicket, I'll also clear out the path to Verboten Domain 4 so I can get Artiks' Biggoron Sword the moment my Unlock is found
Artiks starts with it and it's a pretty good idea. You can also plando it somewhere early to guarantee you won't have to do too many night skulltulas without it

No I like the game having a nice random chance of making things really inconvenient for me
Ocarina's worth a ping, right? @weary lagoon
The first ocarina is really nice. The second one is a check or two
oh there's more than one
Yes, the second one doesn't do anything, functionality wise
ocarina of time and ocarina of time 2
neat
and that's my Verboten Domain bench acquired
over in Psychonauts, none of the hinted locations are UT-reachable, but there's a small chance I can reach level 85 while BKing this slot again and I wanna do that anyway
I think "(WWMA) Blacksmith's Haybale" requires Pyrokinesis
which is now 2 hinted locations requiring it
@wet field you may be the one who can break The Oatmeal Chain
I must've hallucianted that
I'm not gonna pretend to understand what's going on with The Oatmeal Chain, but I hope it gets resolved or whatever
it's just funny to call it that
also it wasn't as important as we originally thought since it turned out there was a different ladder my fox could use to get rom's hookshot which has now been done
but Jay still badly needs "Stage 3"
@midnight depot
Ixnaut sent Megaton Hammer to OoTFlitter ((WWMA) Blacksmith's Haybale)
Thanks!
and that's Waterloo World cleared for now
Does the randomizer have the milkman scene?
Yeah it's the best level
I am on the road crew. This is my stop sign.
hmmm
I have no memory of how this level works
also, level 75
Another Dio's best friend for Jay
Thanks for the megaton hammer
Memory vault 2 for Ixrec
did everything I could do in Waterloo World, Gloria's Theater and Milkman Conspiracy, let's hand in a bunch of stuff to see what level total I'm actually at now
