#Archipelago Multiworld Multi-game Randomizer
1 messages · Page 35 of 1
what's that?
lore entry, i.e. filler
just found an item in my own Psychonauts world that unlocks a whole other Psychonauts area
Why's the UI aspect ratio off?
is it?
Things look a bit wider than they should, but the text looks fine
That's enough for tonight
and that's Black Velvetopia (the bullfight-themed mind) fully cleared
and with Megaphone discovered, UT confirms Next To Oatmeal is in logic
what game is this
Psychonauts
oh, there's a release candidate for AP 0.4.6 already; apparently this is going to be a mostly bugfix release (there were a few bad ones in 0.4.5) with no new games so probably no one needs to update
where the heck is the oatmeal
Ixnaut sent Stage 3 to JayROR ((THCW) Next to Oatmeal)
@clear summit
ok, that's it for the theater until my 2nd candle is found
and I'm rank 89 now
Ixnaut sent Pages 24-25 (Prayer) to Ixfox ((RANK) PSI Rank 85)
for those unfamiliar with Tunic, that's one of the biggest items progression items in the game

though because of which ladders I'm missing and which other key items I already have, it opened up only 3 locations, which is way less than usual
you ever revisit something from your childhood and get slightly shocked at how dark it really was
anyway Meat Circus is done, which I believe makes the whole Psychonauts slot BK again
No
For some reason I saw dark things as dark even when I was young
I think I usually did
like, I've been meaning to rewatch Watership Down, and I'm under no illusions about what happens to the rabbits in that movie
ok... that put my slots at 74%, 51%, 73%, 42% with the overall multiworld at 64%
pretty sure all of my unfound hinted items are unreachable, two of them I've already hinted a requirement for
so I should be good to focus on other stuff for a bit
Good work
hm, looking at all our slots in % order, my %s range from barely above average to almost last place
I take this as evidence that I picked the right amount of game for me this month
Oooooooh time to do some checks
Fire temple small key to Mega, Iron to Artiks, Merry Go Round for Flitter
Small Key(Angler's Tunnel) to Rom
Wristwatch for Flitter
lol you didn't collect
I don't collect unless someone wants me to because for some games this can make things annoying
Spirit Temple Boss Key for Flitter
yeah we generally don't !collect
the one or two times it happened it mostly just created confusion
I see
Megaton Hammer for kratta
Golden Feather for Ixrec
Turkey Sandwich for Ixrec
Gold Watch for Ixrec
Magic Meter for Flitter
That's my second one. Thanks!
Thank you
Sweet
Let's play OpenRCT2
Thanks for all the items but it looks like I can't get any new checks on it yet
Yikes.
This may be the first time that a single small key is the last thing I need to finish the game
And the game won't even let me hint for it
Oh!
That's because I already fucking got it
It was the Gerudo Valley cow
I didn't even know cows are randomized
You're not even engineer
enough loop, I'm gonna clear
Good luck
JayROR (Team #1) has completed their goal.
Thank you for Zora Tunic
Wow Avery sucks at racing
Can't make the game too hard
She's good at racing if you have no silver feathers
[Hint]: Meganoot's Boss Key (Ganons Castle) is at Jabu Jabus Belly Boomerang Chest in OoTFlitter's World. (not found)
Cool, now only Wristwatch, 3 Fishing checks, and 400 gold tuition are left
Hell yeah. And that means it's hammer time 🔨
[Hint]: Meganoot's Slingshot is at Ganons Castle Spirit Trial Invisible Chest in OoTFlitter's World. (not found)
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Dins Fire is at Catacombs 11 - Stagnant Blight x10 in Ixlily's World. (not found) @fresh hill if you can reach it
should be easy, iirc Catacombs was all green except for the Unlock bits
...I did more of Catacombs last time than I thought
maybe I should've just finished it off back then
he died as he lived: building sandcastles
anyway there's your thingy
I will resume my game this evening, i should have tons of stuff to do
and now the Catacombs are BK'd
I found an ice trap in the ice path
Looks like Blue is ten times stronger than the other Kanto gym leaders
Hi. Let's play OoT some more
The tracker thinks I can get here
How?
No longshot. Haven't beaten morpha
i thought you did need longshot
Can you hover boots, and jump slash into a 360° noscope hookshot
No hover boots
OoTFlitter sent Hidden Realm: Bazaar Between Time to JayROR (HF GS Cow Grotto)
thanks
Megaton Hammer for Mega
Hell yeah, thank you!
that advancement took so long lol
me ? nothing anymore. i can craft diamond tools and armour, but i'd like to enchant my stuff and also get more arrows
i mean, i have all the advancements i need for the Ender Dragon to spawn
so really it's just a matter of finding the stronghold at this point
omg i just remembered i can get a bunch of books from a stronghold library to beef up my enchanting
I have fully fucking mapped this bitch https://i.imgur.com/M21dTwO.png
Turns out I need songs to reach more places
OoTFlitter sent Sasha's Mind to Ixnaut (Wasteland Chest)
So all of these locations are guaranteed to be inaccessible https://i.imgur.com/bIeUOVG.png
I can finally stop playing and wait for someone else to find my stuff
nicely done
Turns out, Sacred Forest Meadow, Zora Fountain (including Jabu Jabu's belly) and Desert Colossus are out of the loop and are not physically accessible without songs
[Hint]: Meganoot's Slingshot is at Forest Temple First Stalfos Chest in OoTFlitter's World. (not found) Goddammit
Both slingshots are inaccessible
Fuck the slingshot https://i.imgur.com/3zCVh28.png
Oh that's annoying
yeah
I'm going through the manual tracker and clearing out every beehive for Meganought's game
Wallet for Artiks
Volvagia is done. That's every dungeon reward
And that's every beehive
Goron Tunic for Artiks
That's a complete seed https://i.imgur.com/ogDswta.png
The only items I'm missing are the slingshot checks, the strength checks
And the only item I need is Ganon's boss key
youre welcome
wallet for ootflitter
Thanks
wow, my boss item was a GST for ootflitter
are those really progression items
level 7 done
They are technically required for progression.
There are five checks locked behind finding 10, 20... 50 of them
And you can make it so finding a certain number unlocks your rainbow bridge or ganon's boss key
car ride for rctflitter
floral scorcress for ixlily
land discount for rctflitter
construction rights discount for rctflitter
Oh yeah I still need those
another wallet for ootflitter
Oh!
That's the last wallet I need.
I should be able to get any item in shops
And I thought I was gonna stop playing for tonight
We sent the same item seconds from each other
Blue questagon for Ixrec
stick for jayash for boss item lol
level 5 complete
pokeball for artiks, i think those are important to pokemon lol
OoTFlitter sent Hidden Realm: A Moment, Fractured to JayROR (Market Potion Shop Item 7)
snowstorm for rctflitter, seashell mansion
Storms are nice in a synchronous game since they make them buy umbrellas
bloodied note 3 for ixlily
Those are lore items that do nothing
ok i'm BK'd again, here's my summary for tonight
i jumped from 60% to 82%
@shy oyster
Long screen
yeah it's my discord monitor
also @shy oyster
i have 1 hint left for the moment, i will save it
actually
@fresh hill this will get me the rest of the non-nightmare checks in level 6
Hell yeah 🤝
i'm blocked on the nightmare keys i've hinted for, 1 small key for key cavern, and the angler key to get into level 4
oh and ballad of the wind fish
all of that and i can complete my goal
oh i also need the nightmare key (face shrine), but i don't have the points to hint for it
what is this from? it's nice
Ocremix. It's a remix of the ballad of the windfish
i haven't looked at ocremix in a long time
It's part of https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03977
Er
Album: Songs of the Sirens: Link's Awakening ReMixed [Arrangement, 2019-09-20, OCRA-0071] - 6 Games, 21 Artists - Featuring the music of Super Mario 64, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina...
An album of remixes
this one was my favorite from back in the day
oh god this song is older than many people in this server
i can probablt get this one soon
idk where a swamp is but i'll go looking for this one
By catching every fishes I have been awarded
200 rupies of Arti
Only wristwatch left
So basically done
LITERALLY THE LAST ITEM

that’s my last final boss key, but I’m nowhere near reaching the place where I put the keys in (need various ladders and the lantern I think)
looks like I can just barely get this one
all right, with @cold valve 's bracelet acquired I've done almost everything there is to do in Verboten Domain for now
most of the rest requires either Unlock (like Artiks' sword), which I hinted before, or:
and I believe that requires...
so @wet field
my sword?
Biggoron Sword
But you sent me that
I do need that
now that Jay has "Stage 3" we should probably ask what else is needed to reach "Abyssal Depths: Shrine 2" where my Unlock is
@clear summit iirc you said "Abyssal Depths: Shrine 2" requires more than just "Stage 3"?
krøt JayROR Abyssal Depths DMC Deku Scrub Grotto Center
Your Ladder to East Forest also requires something from kratta
fortunately that one turned out to be less critical than we thought, but would still be nice to have that whole area available
krøt JayROR Sundered Grove Dodongos Cavern King Dodongo Heart Ocarina of Time ZF Ice Ledge -> Ice Cavern Beginning
My post-plantera is also in kratta's game
No pressure
that game is at 51% now, and iirc was blocked at a low % for a while
I need to find the fire temple boss key for that
Oh that unlocks light trial chests
16 porkchops for @shy oyster
epic
how useful are filler items like food and ore and so on in AP Minecraft
my expectation would be that after a few hours you've done the standard early game setup with farms for important resources and it's mostly worthless after that
lmao farm
oh does AP change things to create genuine scarcity?
No
The way I normally play Minecraft is I never set up any sort of farm because it's less effort to just collect food as I explore
food basically is almost never a major problem
true, I'm too used to watching LPs from the kind of player that spends a week designing the optimal iron farm that involves clearing a square mile of Nether first
but for food I just meant put two cows in a pen and breed them occasionally
and/or plant wheat to make bread
Or I could kill two cows and have enough food for the three hours it takes to beat the game
lol
@fresh hillshould I spend 270 rupees on adhorents letter
nah that's just lore
I keep a small carrot farm, enough to replenish my stack of carrots easily
EL doesn't have a Ruto's Letter, if it sounds like a piece of paper then it's just lore
Big problem with Minecraft Archipelago is that it makes the game quite...tedious, and the whole randomizer thing is basically Achievement hunting
Lore is important. Do you wish to live in ignorance?
Because i don't have to do anything else to them after i plant and harvest
other than add the gold
Nope, just regular-ass carrots
looks like I have all the extra heal relics, so I think the only important EL items I'm missing are Unlock and Lance
i havent had to set up a animal farm because of all the porkchops ive been sent lol
Yeah Archipelago sends you stupid amount of resources
who is hype for horseback archery
Fossil and giants knife!
a quick peek at the website tells me im in BK for the first time this month
(I could grind out 5-10 levels on all my pokemon to beat Blue for one check)
That's unironically my favorite check
Hello
Let's play videogames
Thank me for Steeplechase
Another RCT branch done. Three left https://i.imgur.com/T6EktSm.png
To finish the game I need several goals
Pave over the residential area and build a big theme park over it to attract guests, make tons of money, have enough rollercoasters
And have one bobsleigh ride, wooden wild mouse, go kart, miniature railway, chairlift, steeplechase, twist, dodgems, observation tower and monorail
For these rides, I'm missing wooden wild mouse and go kart
The very final check I can do is the slingshot-requiring one
Meganoot's Boss Key (Ganons Castle) is at Jabu Jabus Belly Boomerang Chest in OoTFlitter's World. (not found)
Please find me more songs so I can get this
Now, OoTFlitter is still in BK mode, but
What if I were to megaflip past the bridge in shadow temple so I don't actually need hover boots?
What if I were to purchase megaflips and disguise it as my own hover boots..
Yes that's the tone I wanted to convey
Artiks what did you need still to get the angler key in your twinrova check?
Twinrova heart needs mirror shield, two strengths a hookshot, and the boss key
It's okay, Meganoot doesn't need any items anymore
Now, as soon as i get that key to get in. I already have everything i need to 100% the checks in there
I got literally everything in the game
473/477 The only missing checks are junk checks
Ah ok
And the one that needs slingshot
But i still need the instrument at least
Oh I should double check what items exist there
Oh one of them is a small key. Is it Kratta's?
LOOOOL
shuffling in the cows includes Links house cow
I wonder if Mega had any idea what that needs when he put it on 
I think i might shuffle doors next time
I did, yes
That was easy https://i.imgur.com/8ZSc40n.png
Wooden wild mouse for me
Gerudo training ground key for Kratta
Seashell for Ixrec
Rod of discord for Jay
Might need to do another megaflip or something here https://i.imgur.com/o1M6X72.png
invisible hookshot target above there.
Need a longer hookshot
No you can backflip up onto the chest and reach
I asked the archipelago server and they said that.
Thanks!
It did work, but now I can't proceed because I don't have iron boots
only longshot check in shadow is the scarecrow skull
Oh wait, iron boots are not necessary. Timing will do it
thats right im sure ive done that part without iron boots
Another seashell for Ixrec
Okay. NOW I'm hard blocked https://i.imgur.com/TEuJ7wT.png
Need Zelda's lullaby and longshot
you can swim to the next area with flippers
I wish I had those
Let's stop here now that I can't get anything else
A hint costs 43 points. You have 40 points. dammit
Okay. Tomorrow I'm grinding out the money required to buy the junk items in shops so I can afford a hint
The items I need are: Requiem of Spirit, Minuet of Forest, Zelda's Lullaby, Hover Boots, Iron Boots, Hookshot, Mirror Shield, and maybe more
let's play link's awakening
thanks for bracelet
TM01 Dynamic Punch for artiks
progressive levitation 2 for ixnaut
golden feather for jayash
zelda's lullaby for flitteroot
i tihnk that's a big one
got one!
bk'd again, but now i only need the nightmare key to complete level 6
Zelda's lullaby is a lot of checks!
I'm going to use it for bottom of the well first, then try to do shadow temple with two megaflips
That would be fun
yay
Hi. I can't sleep so let's play OoT
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Iron Boots is at Gerudo Training Ground Hidden Ceiling Chest in OoTFlitter's World. (not found)
Gerudo Training Ground small key for Kratta
Musket for Ixrec
Two megaflips done. I'm getting the hang of that trick
Now, the boss will bongo his last bongo
why are you in a crystal
Nayru's love protects me
Also makes it easier to do a megaflip
The boss had the song!
If I can finish forest temple, that's everything I need to finish the game tonight
OoTFlitter sent Ladder near Temple Rafters to Ixfox (Song from Saria)
Wallet for Kratta
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Progressive Hookshot is at West Garden House - [Southeast Lowlands] Ice Dagger Pickup in Ixfox's World. (not found)
Ganon's Castle boss key for Meganoot
Am I going to finish both ocarinas of time tonight?
Jabu Jabu done
And slingshot for Meganoot
Forest temple boss key for me
Oh, I need the small keys
Ah well. I did so much more than I thought possible
Let's do the other OoT slot
Want me to check the spoiler log for you?
All right
is it 2 hookshots per oot?
Could be more or less depending on settings, but in this case it is two each
And time https://i.imgur.com/svfC1IC.png
Oh shit I released the wrong game
Unblam
Well that's okay
Reblam!
I stopped having fun with the other game anyway
Meganoot sent Small Key (Bottom of the Well) to krøt (LW Target in Woods)
OoTFlitter found their Iron Boots (Gerudo Training Ground Hidden Ceiling Chest)
OoTFlitter sent Shield to CaptainMario (Gerudo Training Ground Maze Path First Chest)
OoTFlitter sent Progressive Pyrokinesis 1 to Ixnaut (Ganons Castle Shadow Trial Golden Gauntlets Chest)
OoTFlitter sent Golden Feather to Ixbird (GC Darunias Joy)
OoTFlitter sent Stone Tablet Fragment to Ixlily (Colossus Deku Scrub Grotto Front)
OoTFlitter sent Small Key (Fire Temple) to krøt (ZR Frogs Suns Song)
OoTFlitter sent Go Karts to RCTFlitter (Spirit Temple GS Metal Fence)
OoTFlitter sent Progressive Telekinesis 1 to Ixnaut (Spirit Temple GS Hall After Sun Block Room)
OoTFlitter sent Memory Vault 7 to Ixnaut (LW Skull Kid)
OoTFlitter sent Bombs (10) to Arti (Spirit Temple Child Climb North Chest)
OoTFlitter sent Red Questagon to Ixfox (Fire Temple Volvagia Heart)
OoTFlitter sent Small Key (Bottle Grotto) to Dr. Romulus (Forest Temple Phantom Ganon Heart)
Let me go through my settings and make sure it doesn't accidentally result in a game that's stuck way behind everyone else next time
(I'm still going to finish the game I accidentally released!)
If you try a game after releasing it, does it mean that all the items become literal nothing?
All the items except the ones that are in my world become pointless to find
I see
I can still find them again in OoT because the game is patched and not dynamically changed
Yay the last bottle grotto key, there's one check left in there
RCTFlitter sent Structure Compass (Pillager Outpost) to CaptainMario (OpenRCT2_162)
And forest temple small key for Kratta
That is every single check
And I have every required ride
So now I need to build a park big enough to contain all the guests I need https://i.imgur.com/p3kjGPM.png
[Hint]: RCTFlitter's Drink Stall is at Outlook Cliff Golden Feather in Ixbird's World. (not found)
This would help
For now let's stop here and wait for more items
The things I need to make it reasonable are land discounts, construction rights discounts and any drinks stall
Next time, I'll make it so there's a chance of shuffling cows. I'll make it so progression balancing is at 50 and all locations are guaranteed
You released the wrong game?
Have you lost your mind..
looks like someone found my silver gauntlets
Normally I don't have the client open for more than one game at a time so I failed to check
Now that I have silver gauntlets Im going to get @wet field strength upgrade
NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOG FOOD FOR ROM 🔥
all done with silver gauntlet checks, spirit temple had a lot of purple items
Thanks muchly
Hi
Let's play OoT
In order to finish the game, I need forest temple small keys
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Small Key Ring (Forest Temple) is at Water Temple GS Near Boss Key Chest in OoTFlitter's World.
In order to get there, I need uh
Iron boots, at least
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Iron Boots is at Gerudo Training Ground Hidden Ceiling Chest in OoTFlitter's World.
In order to get that, I need the keys for it
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Small Key Ring (Gerudo Training Ground) is at KF Shop Item 7 in krøt's World.
Five rupees for Kratta. That surely will be enough
(I already sent them when I accidentally released)
That's all the checks I have access to
I just need to finish forest temple and I'll be able to get the rainbow bridge, which should be all I need to finish the game
Is there a clip that lets me get through here? https://i.imgur.com/hCu4CVJ.png
Oh, there is!
Found by bliny (https://youtu.be/Ty73U0yhzgs)
and investigated and perfected by many others including EggMeister, dannyb, and Exodus122
Twitch: twitch.tv/dotzo
Seems complicated
Hi. Let's accumulate money in RCT
I need seven more land discounts to make land free, and each one will be more useful than the last
Hmm, I don't think that's fair https://i.imgur.com/zSnAVER.png
With the power of OpenRCT2 ride hacking I've made this cute thing https://i.imgur.com/gFBuKYs.png
Up to 4500 guests
Let's stop here at 5400/6100
let's play link's awakening
lol thanks for the 400 rupees y'all, i was at capacity
but actual thanks for the bottle key and dog food, that's 2 checks
5 deku nuts for flitter lol
Did you know deku nuts can stun ganon for a second?
a whole second?
Hardly useful except in large amounts
Light arrows can stun him for long enough that you can hit him. There are other stun methods too
Hi. Y'all doing all right? If you play, do call out any items you send to OoTFlitter that might unlock some checks. I'm raring to play
I don't think I can get anything for OoTFlitter atm, though I can get the Drink Stall and it has been a while since I caught up on this
A drink stall would minimize complaints from people in my park
I'm gonna start with Psychonauts because we know that has one of my critical Tunic ladders
I remembered absolutely nothing about the latter half of Milkman Conspiracy so that was wild
i checked earlier, and i received zero items, so i'm still BK'd
Ixnaut sent Progressive Resource Crafting to CaptainMario ((SACU) Flame Tower Steps)
I believe Psychonauts is now fully BK'd again
and at this point there's only one item that'd unlock significant new content:
since ASH and EL have never been BK'd they're far more likely than the other two slots to have an important item we don't know about yet
and ASH has your drink stall, so that's next
Ixnaut sent Prelude of Light to OoTFlitter ((ASCO) Ledge Above Fred Right)
Thanks! It doesn't give me any new checks but it does save a lot of treavel time
Don't you have that?
Hmm
Maybe it didn't receive properly
Every item in Meganoot's world has been found
I goofed
the item I actually need to reach the upper levels of Psychonauts' Asylum is:
@clear summit
Ho boy
That is the grindiest achievement so I was delaying it
That's the 200 fishing quest one
I can do it as soon as I can play the game so I'll grab it then
@midnight depot
Hell yeah, thanks
Wow that is a lot of feathers
Those are pretty good, but this map has a limited amount of them, so they're not as desirable as outright buying land
Ixbird sent Suns Song to OoTFlitter (Tough Bird Salesman Golden Feather 3)
Sun's song is a check!
Thanks
You can catch all fish using only a fishing rod
But having two fishing rods makes it faster and easier
However, you do need to have access to every pool type, including the hawk peak one
I guess the question then is why is that tracker square still red
and is there an easy way to tell which fish I'm missing
What's the universal tracker say?
The easiest way to tell which fish you're missing is through the fish journal
cross reference it with the wiki
ok there is a fish journal, I don't have that yet
You only need the types of fish, so varieties such as albino or whatever don't matter
UT does say Catch All Fish Reward is in-logic
Maybe easy logic just assumes you need the journal
ok that's ASH fully BK'd, in the sense that there is only one location left
I'm gonna save fish% for after my journal is found
there's probably a few aspects of the goal condition I've completely forgotten but we can worry about that later
Your goal is Goal: Help Everyone
That's:
catch every fish,
do the painting sequence,
help the fox get to the peak,
win all the races with avery,
do the tuition thing,
get thirty beachstickball hits,
find the shovel for the dude,
make and deliver the seashell necklace
win the boat race
collect trash and buy hat from the lady
find the missing headband
find the camping permit
find the wristwatch
Maybe more?
and I think nearly all of those are locations already
help the fox might be what I'm missing
other than fish ofc
Oh, and accompany the climbers to the polar bear camp
does "Small Key (Key Cavern)" or "Small Key (Turtle Rock)" help?
Ixlily sent Structure Compass (Bastion Remnant) to CaptainMario (White Parish 09 - Chief Guardian)
Ixlily sent Small Key (Shadow Temple) to krøt (Ruined Castle 12 - Chain of Sorcery)
Ixlily sent Small Key (Ganons Castle) to krøt (Ruined Castle 02 - Amulet Fragment)
Ixlily sent Boss Key (Fire Temple) to krøt (Ruined Castle 08 - Chain of Sorcery)
hype room time
a Land Discount and a Dio's Best Friend
Ixlily sent Infinity Book to CaptainMario (Ruined Castle 19 - King's Note 1)
Super handy against the dragon
hardest boss in the game had one of my true ending keys
which completes my speedrun of Ruined Castle, putting Ender Lilies overall at 71%
since there are no unfound hinted items in this slot, and most of Verboten Domain not available yet, that seems like a good stopping point
How many stone tablet fragments do you need?
the total is 7, I believe that was my 6th
A hint costs 33 points. You have 172 points.
yeah, might as well
[Hint]: Ixlily's Stone Tablet Fragment is at Cathedral - [2F] Bird Room Secret in Ixfox's World. (not found)
cool, that's my problem
Psychonauts and ASH are BK'd, UT says I have 30 checks left in EL, 42 in Tunic
that's plenty for today, whenever I feel like playing next the goal will be to BK Tunic
what's the status of hinted items in Ixfox...
krot's Mirror Shield I could get right now, so ping me if that's worth expediting
the others are in Cathedral and West Garden which I still don't have access to
Mirror shield is used in spirit temple so that's a good thing to find
West Garden iirc I can get to as soon as krot finds my Lantern
I have Swamp access and Prayer so Cathedral is probably waiting on another ladder
er, Ladders in Swamp, right, that makes more sense
A hint costs 30 points. You have 7 points.
guess we're not hinting that until next session
Time to give the angler 100 more fishes
Oh in Terraria
Yeah my 200 quest achievement has something important for ix
pretty close
@fresh hill got it
look at all that green

the reason that painting was so important is that we need a disguise to get past the guard on the ground floor
fortunatly, the guard is half-blind, and the game has a sense of humor, so this actually works
I think my terraria is in true BK now
Key cavern is blocking my goal, turtle rock is useless
all right, Psychonauts is now 93% done, with all the remaining locations and the goal being directly blocked by a Tag or Brain item
much the same status as my ASH slot
iirc my Psychonauts goal is retrieving all the stolen brains, so I've hinted all the Brain items I haven't already received
yep
cap, Ixfox and krot are the only slots below 70% atm
I know Ixfox and krot were blocked pretty hard for a while, cap I assume is Minecraft being a weird game to randomize, since I still don't know how that plays in practice
@shy oyster Listen
I don't make this decision lightly
BUT
You have my permission to mine at night
@midnight depot i found eponas song so you can do all your favorite horse checks now.
Let's at least take down Flaaffy
Espeon outspeeds it 
Flaaffy moment..
jesus christ
time to grind 30 lvls on all my guys
Thanks. That's frogs and poe
And horseback archery
No, horseback archery can get fucked and die forever
i could fight the dragon now if i wanted, but idk how important the items behind Those Were The Days and the frog advancement are
If you complete your goal you can !release all remaining items from your game
oh !
Is your goal to fight the dragon?
ye
Some of those achievements are damn near impossible
lol i selected the option to exclude How Did We Get Here? and Adventuring Time
I know there's one in ponycraft that even stargazing wasn't able to get
well, technically you can !release at any time
in my opinion releasing at 33% is pretty lame for everyone else involved
it's up to you how much of your game you want to play, it's just that typically people either never !release, or try to avoid !releasing until they've met their goal
and of course !releasing at a very low % should probably only be done if real life hits and you can no longer play the game after all
either way the act of !releasing amounts to saying you're done playing that game within this multiworld
Yes you can fight the dragon but you have 38/114 checks which could be important for other people
It's a collab 
I guess that goes back to wondering how the Minecraft randomizer plays out in practice
have you looked at this https://archipelago.gg/tracker/mF81PzY6QIy3Glj_WMhQIA/0/3
most of these games can theoretically be done with a small % of the game's items, but realistically it wouldn't happen
I didn't realize they were still at 33%
But also I'm mostly blocked by the minecraft so i can't really play until that gets some checks
which ones do you need
Bukkit bukkit is one
ok today i will make it my mission to find a swamp
I don't recall the others offhand
breed the frogies
The other one was Those Were the Days
I guess it wasn't all minecraft, but those are both nightmare keys
Did you actually get these or are they just available?
I got those
Swiggity!
the edit was when I got the 2nd
If cap gets the bukkit one, I'll finish level 3 and there'll be a hopefully important item in the boss heart slot
Though it seems that the "priority items" i forced into the boss hearts have been less than impressive
the effectiveness of priority_locations does depend on what progression items are in the multiworld
I want to feel like I'm helping, not unlocking 5 deku nuts
which is part of the reason GSTs are such a meme
deku nuts arent a progression item so that wont happen
local GSTs would probably more than double the de facto impact of priority_locations, with how many OoT slots we always have
:feelstokenman:
I got something crappy from the last boss
its not just skulltulas I keep getting fairies and seashells
I should make the seashell mansion a priority slot too
right, but fairies and seashells and golden feathers are "only" 20-something per world iirc
Or make them local
GSTs being 100 per world is what makes them the meme
yeah its solved when AP adds "actually good progression items" as an item class
but I'd be happy to make my progression collectables local if others want to do that, I just never thought the 10-20 collectibles were making a difference
The biggest thing for me would be the angler key, that's like 16 checks alone
to be fair "actually good" applies to some useful and filler items too
looks like someone found the spirit temple boss key at some point so im only missing mirror shield
in retrospect I probably should've set PsiCards and Tags local, there are way more than 20 of those
@clear summit Rom needs this
For me "actually good" would be all dungeon items (feather, bracelets, boots, flippers, hookshot, shields, rod) plus swords, entrance keys, Nightmare keys, rooster, shovel, boomerang, bombs, bow, ocarina, and the 3 songs
Everything else is mid or useless
what other progression items does LADX have? I've only noticed the seashells
(worth noting the issue is not unique to progression either; my last Hollow Knight had local geo rocks)
same, those are a bit much
Rupees are needed for some things, power for a few, but those are easily grindable
20 seashells are needed for the 1 check
Oh, and 5 gold leaves for 3 checks
gold leaves ? i dont memeber those
Needed to get under Richard's house to the pothole field
RIGHT ok i member now
Do you think the golden leaves will be important in the Zelda movie
Absolutely not
omg
someone sent me a Bastion remnant compass so that advancement will be easier to get
thinking about leveling my pokemon
anyone know any good grind spots in Johto
maybe even Kanto
Me after 5 minutes in the power forest
got one of your nightmare keys :3
Rom learned crunch 🔥 🦷
thanks for max revive
Instead of making them local, we should all item link gold skulltula tokens. In this month's configuration this change will quarter the total number of them and quadruple their value
When I got my pokemon to level 100 in Pokemon gold I did it through the elite four, but I was just a kid then
Blue defeated
hope it was worth it
In soul silver the elite 4 upgraded but here they are still in the lvl 40-50s
is that the xp held item
Yeah
1.5x from lucky egg, 1.5x from the pokemon being traded
For a total of 125% total boost
i dont have one
Unfortunate
That's a great idea
Thanks. I'll be sure to test it and figure out exactly the incantations we need to put in each YAML
Seashells too?
What is an item link
So if Ixrec finds a gold skulltula, one is sent to every OoT player instead of just one of the players
Ah
Item links "merge" identical items
Yes that is a good idea
Right now we're talking about adding it for gold skulltulas because there's four hundred of them
It's less fun for everyone else when half your checks are GSTs
The other solution is making gold skulltulas local only
(that would work for seashells too!)
nah do it for every item, that means that theres one game's worth of important checks spread out over multiple games
It definitely breaks if you do it for every item
You have to have the exact same number of each linked item
it would be so awesome if at the beginning of LA Talon gives you the Seashell Sword
Oot can have more or less of major items depending on settings is the issue
sorry id assumed "same settings" didnt need to be written
for every gold skulltula removed from the poll a random junk item of 20 rupees or 5 deku nuts is added
True!
But
The actual goal is to make sure the "priority checks" option works and gives more satisfying results
Both local items and linked items would achieve that in different ways
priority checks are overrated
I just grinded out to beat Blue for 30 stagnant blight thats life
That's a matter of preference, but I understand
He could give you a sword but it's a progressive sword so it'd be level 1
However it's possible a progressive sword is also on the beach or in the well or in the bush field
You can start with any item you like if you put it in the YAML
what do you guys think of my current squad
what am i
me april 3rd: wow a dratini having a dragonite for this will be so cool
me on april 19th and 97% with still no dragonite
you're espeon
that's epic
Im a fire dragon thing i think
no you're actually an insect pupa
alright there we go
wtf it has the worst backsprite of all time
but at least it can fly now
I was about to say you're almost at Dragonite then someone interrupted me before I could finish typing
im gonna give Red a real shot when Rom turns into Tyrannitar
Tyranitar and Dragonite?
Is tyrannitar a fire dragon thing
5 bidoofs and a bibarel
I posted the two pokemon ive seen
lvl 81 Flaaffy and lvl 73 Mew
Lvl 73 Mew is kind of a problem
You just need mew too
tyranitar is rock dark hes not a dragon
Oh
lvl 77 gloom
pretty easy
Mew time 😓
tried to sacrifice pikachu to get thunder wave up but it just gets one shot
lvl 77 poliwhirl
lvl 75 jigglypuff
One more guy
Lvl 77 Charizard (classic)
mastapiece game
Very well done
No thunder stones ever?
CaptainMario sent Nightmare Key (Key Cavern) to Dr. Romulus (Those Were the Days)
Artipkmn sent Land Discount to RCTFlitter (Silver Cave 2F - Item 3)
ye
Let's play OoT
Thats true you did take out Mew with Crunch
I gnashed it
Thank you for deku nut, bomb bag, prelude of light, bomb bag, sun's song, epona's song, and maps
yw!
The frogs had my fire arrows! (and I key that I already sent)
Hmm
Well I'm stuck, so that's it for tonight
yep, at least 4
Eleine's Diary for ixlily, which i thin kis useless lore
bombchus for meganoot
If you have the client open it'll tell you if a check is progression
Thanks for the drink stall and land discounts
That should be everything I need to finish the game
amulet fragment for ixlily
what's dark blue text in the client?
light blue is useless, purple is progression
right?
crap, 2 points short of a hint
i need to know where my nightmare key for face shrine is and the ballad of the wind fish
those are the last 2 unhinted blocks for me
ah ok, the note and diary are "normal", the bombchus are "progression" and the amulet is "useful"
Er, Entrance randomizer
Bombchus are no longer progression because the game is done
Me
ah
I'm just checking the universal tracker to see if you can access anything
You cannot!
yup, magpie says nothing
need a color dungeon key for the only accessible check
these are my three outstanding hints, and we know about 2 of them, just need a swamp and a mirror shield
and i think terraria is hard blocked
RCTFlitter (Team #1) has completed their goal.
That leaves just one game
We're at six out of sixteen complete
just waiting for eggs to hatch and then i will have gotten your Nightmare Key Rom
minecraft froggies are so cute
You have to wait for eggs to hatch?
ye
I just throw them at the wall and out come chicken
You should be allowed to throw those too
squish
they are very delicate
that's a tad pole, don't you think?

there you go Rom :3
I bet he drops an item
Since I have two out of three of my games done it's time to think about what to play next month
literally 2 trade items, 2 bosses, and an entire dungeon
OoT, of course. Maybe RCT again, for the third game I want either Monster Sanctuary or Risk of Rain classic
and in logic is only the one color dungeon key
Magpie is so neat
my L-2 sword is still out there somewhere
but i don't need it
also the bomb and powder upgrades
@fresh hill
i think next month im gonna do LttP
i think dessyreqt is gonna do smz3 so there'll be 3 of those
I want to do Oracle of Seasons
But I'm waiting for it to be further in development
i'd do undertale except i think i'd have to do the genocide fights and i am not that good
Exclude them
I can help you do that
By excluding them you will guarantee they're worthless junk, only useful for hint points
oh wait i don't even own undertale lol
I can lend you my copy
i played it on my ex's steam account
That requires Abyssal Depths
It's in kratta's DMC Deku Scrub Grotto Center
krøt sent Rotten Flesh to CaptainMario (LH GS Tree)
enjoy the flesh
thank you kratta 🙏
Oh, another change I'll be making is I'm going to store backups of all YAMLs after I generate using them, just in case
(But I still want you to keep your own YAMLs instead of asking me to just use last month's)
I have to hang onto mine so I can use UT
Yeah
I learned yesterday that UT gets fucked if you have any malformed YAMLs, even if you don't use them
Is that a bug worth reporting?
unless the error message is unclear, probably not
there’s no reason to have a malformed yaml afaik
It's the exact same error message you get when you generate with a bad yaml
There's no reason to have a malformed yaml, but the issue is it doesn't allow me to have an in-progress YAML and also use the universal tracker, so there's one more step before it works
Now that crystal is done and OoT is in BK im gonna hint some items that will let me play
@wet field
@clear summit and more abyssal depths
krøt sent Small Key Ring (Gerudo Training Ground) to OoTFlitter
Yooo
My final item
wow thats the biggest key ring of them all
Thank you for the ice trap too
I asked on the Wind Waker thread if keyrings were coming and they said no
they must be big fans of visiting dragon roost caverns five times
well it sounds like it has come very far since I played
they have real item models instead of all green rupees
Does it still implement almost everything by editing memory?
who knows!
I was hoping you did
Today I learned you can't do this room without either hover boots or longshot https://i.imgur.com/CI0896A.png
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Small Key Ring (Forest Temple) is at Water Temple GS Near Boss Key Chest in OoTFlitter's World.
Where the heck is the boss key chest?
Oh!
Thanks
But what if, instead of using long shot or hover boots, I cheated and used a bomb backflip
As a matter of fact it does not work
Because I need to go over the spikes
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Progressive Hookshot is at West Garden House - [Southeast Lowlands] Ice Dagger Pickup in Ixfox's World.
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Hover Boots is at Cathedral - [2F] Entryway Upper Walkway in Ixfox's World.
those are old hints, right?
Hookshot is old. Hover boots is new
ah
Either will do
well both areas are unavailable to me I think
Understood
Oh, I need my light arrows too
I guess I'll find out where they are when I fight ganon
Apparently Krattas boomerang is on my dragon gym leader
thats gonna be the very last check in the game I can get 
Get card key -> beat team rocket -> dragon gym
just a heads up im visiting my mom this weekend and i won't be home until Wednesday
Have fun!
The fun of archipelago is as long as you're playing at least a little every few days it should be fine, provided you play enough to beat your game within the month

i can probably beat it when i get back but idk if i should do the release command considering i only have like, 40 something out of 114 checks done
some of these advancements are dumb lol
You do !release if you're done playing for the month
(Because if you do it and then try to play, you'll find a lot of checks are pointless to do)
ah
So if you finish the game, you can keep playing until you're satisfied, then do !release to abandon the game
What do you all need to finish your respective games? https://i.imgur.com/e7tXszK.png
For me, I need forest temple small keys and light arrows. I know forest temple small keys are locked behind hover boots
[Hint]: OoTFlitter's Light Arrows is at This Boat Has Legs in CaptainMario's World. (not found)
Progressive hookshot can work instead of hover boots
OoTFlitter's Progressive Hookshot is at West Garden House - [Southeast Lowlands] Ice Dagger Pickup in Ixfox's World. (not found)
OoTFlitter's Hover Boots is at Cathedral - [2F] Entryway Upper Walkway in Ixfox's World. (not found)
oh this'll be really easy to get
Good because it's literally impossible to beat the game without it
Okay, so someone from the archipelago server already had a little script that converts the table into CSV format. (I was gonna spend a while making that)
(function() {
var value = "";
for (const elm of document.querySelectorAll("#checks-table tr")) {
for (const child of elm.children) {
value += child.innerText.replaceAll("\n", "") + ",";
}
value = value.substring(0, value.length - 1);
value += "\n";
}
return value;
})()```
Thanks to this script, I was able to more easily write a google sheets formula that automatically calculates a sum for me but ignores games that have 100% of their checks
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(E2:E17, FIND("/", E2:E17) - 1) <> MID(E2:E17, FIND("/", E2:E17) + 1, LEN(E2:E17))), --LEFT(E2:E17, FIND("/", E2:E17) - 1)) & "/" & SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(E2:E17, FIND("/", E2:E17) - 1) <> MID(E2:E17, FIND("/", E2:E17) + 1, LEN(E2:E17))), --MID(E2:E17, FIND("/", E2:E17) + 1, LEN(E2:E17)))
We are at 2479/3203 checks, or 77% of the way
Ixbird: technically nothing but I’m waiting for Fish Journal
Ixfox: definitely Lantern and some ladders, dunno if there’s more
Ixnaut: the remaining Brain items
Ixlily: Unlock and Lance
iirc I’ve already hinted all of these, except a ladder which I’ll hint next time I play Tunic
Sounds great
krøt sent Progressive Clairvoyance 2 to Ixnaut (GV Deku Scrub Grotto Rear)
krøt sent Fishing Rod to JayASH (Hideout Gerudo Membership Card)
krøt sent Abyssal Depths to JayROR (DMC Deku Scrub Grotto Center)
krøt sent Ladders in Hourglass Cave to Ixfox (DMC Volcano Freestanding PoH)
Thank you, Kratta
krøt sent Progressive Marksmanship 2 to Ixnaut (Shadow Temple MQ Map Chest)
krøt sent Sundered Grove to JayROR (Dodongos Cavern King Dodongo Heart)
krøt sent Lantern to Ixfox (Shadow Temple MQ Stalfos Room Chest)
krøt sent Ladders in South Atoll to Ixfox (Forest Temple GS First Room)
well if you insist
It's silly how archipelago seems to clump checks in one game
I think it might be a side effect of the sphere approach
spheres aren't part of the reverse fill algorithm if that's what you mean
Oh
I'm never sure if these clumps are "real" biases or if it's just that players never get through their games at the same speed
Well no, I mean that my game seems to have progression items belonging to a specific player more than others, and vice versa
oh that
yeah that probably falls under "random means random", unless the algorithm was specifically designed to do even distribution (for a specific meaning of "even") then it won't be
anyway, if krot's playing right now lemme start with their mirror shield in my quarry
in retrospect I should've waited for all of these ice traps to go off before I started playing
there we go

That was quick
I had all but 3 checks in quarry done already
the only problem with it was I didn't have the main entrance unlocked so walking back to it is a little annoying (so, naturally, I received that ladder after I'd already walked the long way there)
the main reason those lower quarry ladders matter is because they unlock the area after quarry... which I will not be going to yet because none of the hinted items are there
I just unlocked the elevator shortcut to get back down here immediately from quarry entrance later
oh, and opened the giant door down there because it looks cool
Minit ass level
More wallets are always handy for restocking on consumables
Key!
What's key do?
prbably unlocks a door
that is correct
specifically, there are 2 just-"Key" keys in Tunic, each of which unlocks a small area with a couple checks in it
I used my 1st key on overworld Ruined Passage forever ago so this one goes to the Ruined Atoll Locked Room chests, if I feel like going back there
I always love getting bottles. Getting a bottle with a poe inside it also unlocks an extra check
