#Archipelago Multiworld Multi-game Randomizer
1 messages ยท Page 38 of 1
I wonder how game-breaking that is in ER
FlitterMS sent Iron Boots to Arti (Mountain Path - East Corridor 3)
The way reconnecting in archipelago works is neat
When a game's page is down, the client tries to reconnect after a few seconds and seems to keep doubling every time
This month we are quite fast-paced
FlitterMS sent Letter to Goompapa 2 to Paper Arti (Mountain Path - Crystal Room 1)
FlitterMS sent Fishing Hook to DrRomLADX (Mountain Path - Crystal Room 3)
Sphere one is always pretty fast
BTW never heard of Monster Sanctuary before, but it looks neat and is 75% off so I went ahead and picked it up
We're all active
Tho a few of us are properly bked atm
There goes another ice trap. :P
I'm not going to finish ASH sphere 1 for now unless it is necessary for someone
FlitterMS sent Parakarry to Paper Arti (Mountain Path - Northwest Cliffs 1)
How do you know if its necessary or not?
They hint it
What I meant is someone hints an important item and it end up being in my ASH sphere 1
ASH has a huge sphere 1 while the checks are relatively simple to grab, so I can exhaust checks very quickly
https://i.imgur.com/YgN9MeD.png endgame enemy casually running around at level 5
FlitterMS sent Ruins Key to Paper Arti (Mountain Path - Snowy Peaks Entrance)
i personally very rarely hint, under the assumption that other people are playing their games, so hearing you say that you arent kinda sucks, ngl
You have to understand that the games I tend to play are not great fits for Archipelago
ASH can go like 70% finished after day 1/2
So it's more like an intentional slowing down
Terraria was a similar case
RoR2 was an extreme case
Those games are more like "I go BK or I have 40% of the checks already unlocked"
Well my game library isn't a great fit for Archi, but I like participating these kind of events
apologies if it sounds like im mad at you, more confused
FlitterMS sent Lens of Truth to Meganoot (Blue Cave - North Fork)
theres like six games on 0% right? Jay waiting a bit makes sense
I do assume that other people "play their games", but that's different from "fully BK all their slots"; imo hints are important to keep the multiworld moving in any environment where "I shall BK all my slots at least once every N days" is not the attitude of every player involved
though i suppose subnautica is similar, a lot of checks you can technically get very early with a lot more checks behind getting the cyclops, which requires 12 checks minimum
then launching is a farther 4
ASH's enormous sphere 1 is a perfect example; afaik none of us who played it here tried to BK it on our first sessions
I think I did last month
And I ended up getting so much so early
In my defense it was my first playthrough ever so I had absolutely no idea what the game exactly provides
(and I still haven't started my 2nd game since this started on a Wednesday and modding work came up)
LADX has a pretty huge early sphere too
FlitterMS sent Gau to Dessy-FF6WC (Blue Cave - North Fork - East Ledge Chest)
FlitterMS sent Small Key (Thieves Hideout) to Meganoot (Blue Cave - North Fork - Ground Switch Chest)
Also I said I am going to slow down and indeed I still have bunch of checks left but also
JayASH A Short Hike Connected 71/131 54.20
I am over 50% completed already
for most of my games, I play what I'm comfortable with in one session and if that's not enough to BK it then I leave it with content undone; I do like it when "what I'm comfortable with in one session" is often enough to reach BK in practice, but it won't always be the case and it should be fine for it to not be the case
ASH is a fun game but unfortunately the randomizer couldn't just take your ability to walk and jump
oh yeah its day 2, im not saying "why the fuck havent you played 70% of your game today"
it just sounded like you had little to no intention of playing much ASH without hints, which is directly opposite to how i play
oh yeah I don't think anyone meant "I will stop ASH at 5% and never touch it until a hint is used"
Oh I was more like "I will not going to exhaust all my checks in one sit unless someone hinted an important item in my game"
when I do that, it's because "5% is good enough for day two", and if no one hints for a week I'll eventually play it again when the mood strikes
For example last month I was intentionally leaving 200 fishing quests check in my Terraria and was clearing a few fishing quests once in a while
Then someone found that their item is in that check so I just booted the game and finished like 100 quests
oh that is different
the fishing checks suck
ASH's fish check is pretty reasonable but still one you'd want to leave for later
I think it was my last check last month
*in terraria
tbf it's just a lot of button clicking after a while if you play Journey mode
i generally dislike fishing in games, they all have a complicated fishing minigame which gets old very fast, and you often need to fish 10000 times
That was why I didn't disable it in yaml setting
in my opinion the best fishing minigame is animal crossing's very simple system
Randomized entrances changes things a ton for me, dungeons end up in easy to reach places, and the actual dungeon entrances end up hiding a simple cave with 1 check or something
god I got so much stuff in PM
And it was actually helpful in some way, the generated map was a trash and I couldn't find the sword shrine until the end
Since my goal was "make Zenith", I needed the enchanted sword, and the only way to get it other than the shrine is fishing
Next time i think I'll try to randomize only dungeon entrances with each other and the simple entrances with each other
My biggest block is the feather, but it's day 2 so I'm in no rush to find it
Because navigating in ASH is a fucking nightmare
The only problem I have rn is that I have absolutely no idea about Celeste 64 progression
And I don't think there is a tracker for it, but correct me if I'm wrong
It only holds 30 checks so it shouldn't be a huge matter
oh I should hint the biggoron sword
FlitterMS sent Gerudo Membership Card to Meganoot (Blue Cave - Specter Room)
ooo thanks
@weary lagoon This is extremely important
cant use it yet but thanks
god I need gold gauntlets for that
next 2 hints are both gonna be for progressive strength
That was for pre-reset run
mb
we need those
one was for Artiks and one was for Flitter


You're going to die before I find it
Let's stop here with Monster Sanctuary
I'll be back later for aLttP
FlitterMS sent MapTT to Dessy-SMZ3 (Keeper Stronghold - Smith 5)
Why are maps progression?
I usually very strongly agree, but ASH's is dead simple, usually <10s per fish, and there's only 10-15 fish (none of the fancy rarity modifiers matter to the fish locations in the rando)
https://streamable.com/15aw81 @wet field moment
Watch "Nintendo 64 - AP 01239016491137635012 P2 Arti 2024-05-01 22-12-13" on Streamable.
ASH is fine, from memory its very simple, you're just finding the fishing locations rather than a complex game of rod and fish
There's one pond that has every fish
really?
There is no greater loathing i have for any fishing mechanic more than that of stardew valley
oh that one is fucking trash
The one next to the bully merchant
I only became aware of that pond when I was over half-done and looking up what was left
need to try it this time
is that base game or part ofthe rando
base game
Never heard of the All Blue?
it's not, it's a filler item
What a bother
Also SDV fishing is actually pretty engaging, and rewards player skill. You actually have to pay attention to the game while you fish unlike with AC where you don't even need to look at the screen (and in fact it's easier if you don't)
I don't like it because it is engaging
My ideal fishing minigame is a meditative "don't do anything. Don't get distracted." Game where you sit down and relax
That's basically the rest of SDV though
outside of going ot the mines, fishing is basically the most exciting thing you can do
Stardew Valley's timers are hell for me because I feel pushed to do as much as possible in each day
OOT has a good fishing minigame too
That's why I mod it so day length is configurable
OoT fishing sucks ass
you just throw and pray it catches on and then you hold the stick back
If you know what to do you can get the fish that wins every time
its not bad because you only have to do it twice
I dont know what to do
but yeah it could be waaaay better
it was one of the first 3d games tho, so it gets a bit of slack
Cast it so the hook lands right near the fish you want and then wiggle the lure a bit to entice it
I think OoT has enough slack. It was the top rated game of all time for decades
Which is weird because MM is so much better
๐ฅ ๐ฅ
Having played both I like OoT better than MM because of the randomizer
Basado y copado 
Great Bay Temple made me very sad
My last OOTMM run died because I had to reset time to get the boss key and re-do great bay
I mean Water Temple isn't that great either but yeah Great Bay Temple is a pretty low point
Ice Palace not great in LTTP
MM has the best world, the best sidequests and generally a lot deeper than OOT
but MM is also way harder to get into
i needed a guide every time i played, including during the rando
my experience is so colored by randomizers
Those water-based dungeons are just hard to get right
where in OoT you just slam through water temple with hover boots
no item makes great bay better
That's because it's the last dungeon with an item relevant outside the dungeon
the only place ice arrows are needed in the world you can just do a precise hookshot past
That doesn't make them as irrelevant as the Giant's Mask
Also good for farming rupees outside of Ikana
if you still need to do rupee grinding
the thing about vanilla MM is that you have to put 5000 rupees in the bank
the randomizers delete that
true
I haven't played a 3d zelda randomizer, can you tell?
next time we item link every major item, the bow, hookshot, etc except for the skull tokens
Fortunately LttP has an autotracker https://i.imgur.com/6u3yU9z.png
I was very happy to see both WW and PM have that as well
In december I had to manual tracker WW
FlitterLttP sent Stasis Rifle Fragment to Submega (Link's House)
theres a check in Links house?
oh then you'd love Outer Wilds rando 
theres 3 of those medallions
One of them opens the desert...
another does something on the mountain..
uh and theres a third one that probably does something
They should put it in the nice box over here instead of making them usable https://i.imgur.com/fsTwM2p.png
FlitterLttP sent Giant's Axe to Llisandur (Red Shield Shop Center)
iiuc neither tracker will do entrances for me so this should be fun
you got it to work in english?
first item, @dawn wigeon I forget exactly which beam upgrade this is, how important is it?
@clear summit got compass
alttp uses the Japanese ROM but it replaces text with english
oooh
Why didn't Nintendo sue Nintendo for this painting https://i.imgur.com/Rrpu8pA.png
finding an ice trap in the ice cavern is funny
FlitterLttP sent Plasma to Dessy-SMZ3 (Chest Game)
oh thanks for bombs, thats important
I can win without it if it's hard to get
Actually I just got plasma which is mutually exclusive with it anyway
And way better
oh no it was literally sitting on a table next to my spawn point, you already have it
ah welp
Ah! no worries then
spend magic, freeze everything on screen
Also may or may not open 1 or 2 dungeons if you have that randomized.
If you don't, it will for sure open Misery Mire
I think I do
oh wow I already have enough platforming spirits/moves to cross this gap
how important is Dark Stone? (that must be past the point I got to in MS)
it's definitely progression
hopefully people stop talking to me so I can focus on this 
ER plus sub spirit is having the intended difficulty effect
I've reached a grand total of 5 rooms so far
boo booo boo booooomerang
6th room and I died immediately
twice
I need a second save point so badly lol
@fierce vale I hope all my deaths were worth it
i love random cosmetic
everyone in this async group likes Letters, right? those are always important?
Letters are treasure charts
@lament tusk 
Useful but not unlocking anything for me, I already used like 40
oh we are moving fast this month
sorry I thought they were valuable in previous games
They aemre and arent
There are a lot of bombchu drops, but you usually only get 5 or so
And there are a lot of things to blow up
since when was there a cape in lttp
it might be the most underexplained/unintuitive item
almost all its uses I had to look up
@tender pelicanI need this so I can start stocking up money for triforce charts 
Bombchus are required in maybe one place, even then you could probably do it with bombs
They're entirely a luxury extra item, and tbh I don't know whybthey exist in oot
iron boots for mega
Ooo thx
you need bombchus in ganons castle nothing else gets the job done for that one switch
found a weird egg but not capital-w Weird for Flitter
I could swear you can use something else there
Maybe I'm misremembering
oh thank god a second bench
...and that's officially BK for this chunk of the map
guess I have to fight the boss in the other direction
FIRST TRY with the awful weapons I gave myself 
and now there are two save points back to back
ER is mocking me
and with this dead end, I do believe I am properly BK'd
at 4.5% 
not gonna hint anything this early, but in case anyone sees them, the items that would likely un-BK me are:
- Bloody Knight's Claws
- Dash
- Giant's Hammer
- Heretic's Mask
since that was so short, let's do a teensy bit of ASH and then call it a day
wow the multiworld's already at 16%
i require hat pins, all the hat pins
you mean badge pins?
yeag
That's Hario, not Mario
Did you find any good items?
Yes but they were all mine
Grrrr!!!!
Almost every AP game seems to have an auto tracker, at least from what I've seen
unfortunately tracker support and quality thereof varies a lot
Yeah some of them not great for sure
most of the games I've AP'd do have some form of tracker, in-game or poptracker, though some of them have issues (or the actual rando's logic has issues) which come up in normal play
Every AP game has at least an automated checklist tracker
But I'm more interested in map trackers that do logic for each part of the map
yeah, you get the item autotracker for free, which is why when we talk about "tracker support" we usually mean map/location/logic tracking
Which game do you play that is missing that?
hm
looking through my games list, I believe every game I bring to Flitters' asyncs does have a tracker now, however the AHiT and HK ones have serious issues, arguably Blasphemous' does but that's mixed up with actual logic issues, and the one time I played LttP I couldn't find a map tracker that fully matched (though apparently that's improved???)
In this month's list, I think it's A Hat in Time, Paper Mario, Monster Sanctuary (there is an in-game tracker but it requires a newer version).
Lttp has Opentracker now, which is pretty good
My game choice is very much influenced by whether a game has an automatic logic tracker
(oh and Psychonauts didn't have a tracker when I started playing, that came out midway through our April async)
and if any of the games you like have ER there's the whole question of "entrance tracking", apparently Tunic got an entrance tracking tool after I ER'd it so I haven't tried that yet, but EL I'm pretty sure does not, AHiT definitely doesn't
Paper Mario has poptracker with AP synch
Well LTTP has a ton of trackers you can use, and most of them do auto tracking since the whole concept I believe was invented in the ALTTPR community
the irony with older games is they always have trackers but most or all of them will predate the AP rando and likely not match it (that's the issue I had when I rando'd LttP)
iirc SM64 has an infamous chart for figuring out which of the many trackers is least wrong for your purposes
Lol
Monster Sanctuary seems to have a good map autotracker
nice
(this is looking at Flitter's BTW)
(well now I'm sad that I didn't enjoy Monster Sanctuary)
Yeah, I picked games that specifically have good trackers
all things considered it's impressive how many of the AP randos have completely solid trackers
probably not a coincidence that most of them are poptracker packs and the guy behind poptracker is also a core AP dev
A hat in time doesn't have one but it's also unsupported so I'm unsurprised
well, A Hat in Time has the most weirdly mixed status; it does have a poptracker pack, which works for location autotracking, but it's never properly supported act rando and everyone plays that game with act rando
(they do right?)
AP is pretty easy to make a tracker out of since the info is all in the same format, I would guess
I could not find a poptracker pack for it
the challenge is usually supporting every possible options combinations and maintaining the tracker as the rando changes
one of the big reasons I favored an in-game tracker for my own AP mod was to force myself to make sure I could keep them in sync long-term
Ah flitter I thought you were listing games that did not have one
OoT has no tracker that supports everything, but Tracker of Time is very close
oh, I think https://github.com/hoppel16/ahit-poptracker/releases is what I use
even without act rando it's still nice as a visual location auto-checklist
That top beta one says it has act tracking, though maybe not perfect logic
I'm aware, I was there when that release came out, and I was the first to find that it did not actually work
sadly they never fully finished it
BTW even in games with excellent support I don't always agree with the tracker in terms of what I can or can't get
ah, well, that's another issue; the tracker's job is to reflect the logic of the underlying randomizer
Like with smz3 I already did a couple checks that did not show up on the tracker
whether the randomizer's logic is "correct" gets much squishier and affects a lot more than just the tracker
so, most randomizers have known "out of logic" ways to get certain locations, that's not necessarily a bad thing
the most straightforward examples are things like speedrun tricks/glitches that the average player cannot perform, so the randomizer logic assumes you can't either
Tracker of time is pretty finicky and sometimes lies about checks that should definitely be in logic
and some randomizers have options to put those tricks in logic
Yeah the checks in talking about were not behind glitches
Time to play some Paper Mario
Though I did some of those too
What I'm looking from a tracker is usually "What sort of stuff am I forgetting that's easy to get right now?"
there are also cases where a check is out of logic because it might be infeasible or tedious to get to depending on how other things played out, and getting all the relevant variables into logic is more trouble than it's worth
I got a million new items in that game so instead of being overwhelmed im just gonna go to the desert and pretend im playing vanilla with Koops getting lost
or something that you can only do once and if you miss it, you miss it, so the rando logic has to be the "unmissable" way of getting there (this is why every time I play Pseudoregalia I get one check out of logic)
Actually there was one check on in the tracker that was borderline not possible in SM
it might be worth asking about these locations in the AP Discord's SMZ thread
But I also had a weird health/ suit situation
for all I know that tracker is just broken
Tracker of time telling you you can do the random chest game without lens of truth is always hilarious

You can (just cheat)
I got the item
It was just hard
Also remember I play on real hardware so no save states for me
Even SM64 is compiled directly for PC so not there either
I should probably clarify that I only played Super Metroid one time many years ago and have never looked into the rando
I had to do a 4-tap stutter short charge in a heated room, and pop my reserves before actually doing the spark
Was a neat puzzle to figure out, but a little frustrating to execute considering my stutter step is not the greatest
Meat puzzle......
tbf even Hollow Knight and Blasphemous have a location or two where I disagree with the default logic
epic
Lol
Yep typing on phone will do that sometimes
but no one's playing Psychonauts this month
Paper Arti sent Slingshot to FlitterOoT (DDO Outpost 2 Hidden Panel)
nice
@fierce vale AHiT tracker just got re-released under a new maintainer with various fixes, including some act rando fixes: https://github.com/Fouton/HatInTimeRando-Poptracker/releases/tag/Release
Dessy-SM64 sent Ice Trap to Meganoot (LLL: Boil the Big Bully)
Dessy-SM64 sent Ice Trap to Meganoot (BBH: Big Boo's Balcony)
Turns out this went to SM and Plasma went to SMZ3. I disabled Plasma in SM so this is still quite useful.
Only one new check in each of my games so maybe I should only check every few days lol
SM64 had a couple but I also remembered how to do MIPS clip to get more checks
Hi
Let's play OoT
I'm going to use the manual entrance shuffle mapper https://tracker.brakke.dev/#routing
Thank you for heart container, thieves hideout key, strength, song of storms, deku shield, fairy bow, weird egg, deku stick capacity, bombchus, bomb bag, hylian shield, light arrows, ocarina, spirit temple boss key, more strength, boomerang, fire temple boss key, slingshot, and 20 gold skulltulas
Claim check for Artiks
Ocarina for Meganought
FlitterOoT sent Steeplechase to JayRCT (LH Child Fishing)
It is?
i have cowsanity
Oh that makes sense
gold scale? thats just one check but thanks anyway
If you hit fire keese with a boomerang your boomerang should burn
do BotW/TotK do that?
flitter is joking
maybe it was just arrows
arti, stop, its hammer time
FlitterOoT sent Letter to Kolorado to Paper Arti (LLR GS House Window)
FlitterOoT sent Small Key (Angler's Tunnel) to DrRomLADX (LLR GS Back Wall)
FlitterOoT sent Small Key (Water Temple) to Meganoot (LLR Deku Scrub Grotto Right)
Neptune boosters for Meganought
FlitterOoT sent Mega Grenade to Llisandur (ZD Diving Minigame)
Ooh, the thing I need for the thing I left off at.
FlitterOoT sent Progressive Sword to FlitterLttP (GC Maze Center Chest)
FlitterOoT sent Shell Necklace to FlitterASH (GC Maze Right Chest)
FlitterOoT sent Sky Fragment to Llisandur (GC GS Boulder Maze)
Ah, so cruel
If it were one rupee cheaper I wouldn't need a bigger wallet to buy it
FlitterOoT sent Bottle (Good Bee) to FlitterLttP (Kak Redead Grotto Chest)
FlitterOoT sent Sraphim to Dessy-FF6WC (Kak GS Skulltula House)
Where the fuck is my kokiri sword
That's enough for today
there arent any enemies who are on fire by default but they will burn if they are hit by a fire attack
Happy weekend everyone
any news on my weird egg?
2/4 weird eggs total
which ones
You found mine, Dr. Romulus found Meganought's
That means you will have to find my weird egg
Sure. You should hint for it so I can find it faster
thats not happening
@fierce vale Imagine you are a weird egg
no thanks
i wouldn't hide in a cell as an egg
@fresh hill Imagine you are a weird egg
a coop would be much stealthier
Would you be more likely to hide in a cell shaded ocean or a paper world
ok this is important, if you can get there it would be apreciated dessy
back to bk mode
bomb bag for meganoot
thanks to my new wallet.
bomb bag for me
thanks to my new wallet
๐
And you get a bomb, and you get a bomb, and you get a bomb...
is toy shovel important in a short hike
should i grind 175 rupeeronis for yours
For this I will need Mirror + 2 Progressive Gloves. It could be a while
Can't hint anything because hint cost is so high ;_;
Hints are pretty expensive because other players seem to like them that way. You can only afford ten so you gotta ration them carefully
But
Nah higher cost is better for async anyway
I've pretty much exclusively been doing syncs where 5% is better to get done in a reasonable time
You can use BK Sudoku or Hint Machine to get random hints if you're really stuck with nothing to play
I have a couple of new checks in FF6 if I play today
I'm sure more checks will happen over the weekend
Weekend is when King Krรธt comes online and finds all the eggs
What if i find a second one
Would love to hear about how long these two will take @midnight depot @fresh hill
due to ER, I have absolutely no idea
It said vanilla entrance, don't know if that's bugged though
this one's kind of an AP design issue, it uses "Vanilla" to mean "the world generation code did not provide any special text to put here" which can mean there's no ER happening so they're all vanilla, or it can mean "no I'm not dumping the entire ER graph go play your game :P"
the entrance text gets used a lot more often in "milder" forms of ER like a Zelda dungeon shuffle or AHiT's act rando, where knowing only "one room up" is often all you need and always a significant help
gerudo membership card for flitteroot
prawn suit drill arm fragment for meganoughtica
this would be nice to have
imagine keeping shoes in your diary
I believe that slot is still BK'd
I forgot that I had dungeon entrance rando on WW 
LTTP keys being junk is interesting
@wet field I could really use this so I can start collecting rupees for triforce charts.
Hmm, gonna play ASH a little bit, like 4~5 checks maybe
Hi.
Let's play A Short Hike
Thanks for the money, sticks, seashells, maps, necklace, watch, journal, shovel, feathers,
I don't think I'll get all of these right now https://i.imgur.com/C2fna5n.png
FlitterASH sent Volcano Vase to Paper Arti (Boat Isle Mound Seashell)
FlitterASH sent Watt to Paper Arti (Secret Island Bottom Chest)
FlitterASH sent Small Key (Gerudo Training Ground) to Meganoot (Secret Island Beach Trail Stick)
I don't feel like playing RCT until I get the tree removal since the scenario actually has quite a lot of trees and it's annoying, but if it takes too long I'll eventually grab some more checks
Where's your tree removal?
Oh yeah
FlitterASH sent Small Key (Fire Temple) to Meganoot (Old Building East Chest)
FlitterASH sent Small Key (Spirit Temple) to Meganoot (Old Building Chest)
FlitterASH sent Morph to Dessy-SMZ3 (Old Building West Chest)
My Kokiri sword!
FlitterASH sent Letter to Frost T to Paper Arti (North Coast Chest)
Every letter is a TC its not that important
I see
FlitterASH sent Slingshot to Meganoot (Sue the Rabbit Shoes Reward)
FlitterASH sent Food Stall to JayRCT (Hawk Peak Bucket Rock)
FlitterASH sent Traffic Blocks to JayCEL (Meteor Lake Seashell)
I should probably double-check that Ixlily is as BK'd as I think it is
That's enough for now. The game is 45% done. Let's focus on other games
Like Lttp
Or actually, Monster Sanctuary has been off for longer
there was a poison room that I could do some sucide runs in to make sure that I can't accomplish anything there without iirc claw or slam
but monster sanctuary is much higher percent ๐
unless youre just thinking variety
Thanks for Koi egg, mystical workshop key, sanctuary token, magma chamber key, ancient woods key, key of power, underworld key
I mostly don't want to burn out on any game
wow you have so many keys
FlitterMS sent Progressive Hookshot to Meganoot (Sun Palace - East - Interior Chest)
It's a metroidvania. OoT has many keys
Golden feather for me
Let's stop here
FlitterMS sent Bottle with Red Potion to Arti (Sun Palace - West - Mount Door Chest)
Lets relax on the great sea in WW for a bit 
such an open game compared to oot
and thats without the most important item in the game grappling hook
12
oh the slingshot! yes
hookshot!
lense of truth for arti
oh huh, the golden scale is techincally 2 checks, the tektite cave requires it
or iron boots obviously
bowser castle key for paper arti
hookshot for arti
Arigato :3
thanks for the tail key btw, i found level 2 inside level 1
spin attack for paper arti, i assume that's gonna make getting around a lot faster
pocket egg to krat
no weird egg but its an egg
its been a while since I went through the settings
I thought you couldnt shuffle the adult trade quest but I guess I was wrong
You can shuffle them, but in archipelago instead of deciding whether to shuffle or not, you decide which item you get first
The default is claim check
If you set it to any other item, you have to wait until you have all the items after that then complete the trades manually
You skip all trades before the item you set it to
I see!!
i have no idea how you are shuffling songs tho
You just do it through the settings?
i have them suffeled to only other song locations
i dont know what the option is to shuffle them anywhere
I'd imagine it's the one that says shuffle song items
oh either i missed that or they updated it and i just... missed that
ill remember to do that next time
It's been there since implementation, but it is kind of a weird setting
maybe i misunderstood it
Dessy-SMZ3 sent Progressive Hookshot to kr?t (Missile (Crateria gauntlet right))
Dessy-SMZ3 sent Sky Fragment to Llisandur (Missile (green Brinstar behind reserve tank))
Dessy-SMZ3 sent Furniture to Submega (Missile (green Brinstar behind missile))
Dessy-SMZ3 sent Golden Feather to FlitterASH (Energy Tank, Waterway)
Dessy-SMZ3 sent Toy Shovel to JayASH (Super Missile (Crateria))
Nice, thanks for the golden feather.
Morph got me a ton of checks I can only do a few right now though
Due to time
I'll grab the rest later
[Hint]: kr?t's Ocarina is at Turtle Rock - Trinexx in Dessy-SMZ3's World
Thank you for Farore's Wind
well that's not great
At least 5 major progression items needed to get that, you'll be waiting a while
Maybe it's the other ocarina then
What a weird OW seed I just had, @fresh hill saw it. Back to SMZ3
somehow I completely failed to register that you were the same dessy as over here until just now 
My name is so dumbly spelled there's only one in the world
Dessy-SMZ3 sent Kokiri Sword to Meganoot (Power Bomb (red Brinstar sidehopper room))
Dessy-SMZ3 sent Golden Feather to JayASH (Missile (red Brinstar spike room))
Dessy-SMZ3 sent Requiem of Spirit to kr?t (Spazer)
Dessy-SMZ3 sent Light Arrows to kr?t (Grappling Beam)

So morph by itself gave me 43 checks
Dessy-SMZ3 sent Progressive Hookshot to Meganoot (Waterfall Fairy - Right)
this is the worst emoji ive ever seen
it might be the worse
Yeah they made a pony out of the racist guy
Yooo it's nat
im only here bc cap said kratta posted the worst emoji ever
It's a single-game mashup of Super Metroid and Zelda LttP. The items are randomized through both games and certain entrances switch between games.
Yep.
Hm none of my hinted wallets have been found, getting them late after I get sent all my big rupees sucks. If I play WW again I should remember to start with at least one wallet.
Yaaas
Is there no easy money grind in ww like in oot?
it needs hookshot and is far away and you need almost 5000 rupees in that game for everything
Oh
I thought about playing LTTP twice as well ๐
hm, is there a way to set up the LADX YAML such that dungeon entrances shuffle with each other but not the other entrances, but also the other entrances shuffle with each other but not the dungeons?
it looks like dungeon entrance shuffle is a thing, but adding entrance shuffle just does all of them including dungeons
Best ask in the archipelago discord server
Might be doable with the plandomizer even if it's not an explicit option
OoT does randomization in that style you want where each entrance type is shuffled separately
I'll ask for you
hm, it seems that the randomizer makes no distinction between ukuku prarie west and east, you need bombs to get past the big rock from west to east, or to get to it from martha's bay west (need boots and feather, or rooster from the beach), or flippers (from the bay). so this game i generated stuck my items in inaccessible areas, unless there's some logic i'm unaware of
the spoiler log says the seashell mansion is in sphere 2, accessible with only my power bracelet from sphere 1
ha i'm dumb, i can just go around the pothole field
Oh
thinking about playing some WIND WAKER
Looks like I havent gotten anything important at all!
Missing some very crucial items in grappling hook, sword, wallets
I'm almost done with one of my assignments, which means I can finally play Lttp
Let's play A Link to the Past
@tender pelican found river coin
Thanks. Unfortunately I already bypassed the need for it with a different item. XD
I'm blocked until someone finds the dragon claw.
ah
Wind Waker is finally in BK mode
Considering hinting sword or grappling hook
theres four swords and one grappling hook so lets do that one
@midnight depot this is the most important item in the game
You got it
FlitterLttP sent Bombchus to Meganoot (Dark World Potion Shop Right)
FlitterLttP sent BigKeyTR to Dessy-SMZ3 (Hype Cave - Middle Left)
FlitterLttP sent Magical Seed to Paper Arti (Hype Cave - Top)
FlitterLttP sent Chain of Sorcery to Ixlily (Hype Cave - Generous Guy)
oh I was gonna do the treasure chest game but I dont have magic
Alright, OoT is in Weird Egg or Boomerang waiting room
Time to explore ice palace
its slippery if I recall
I fucking hate it
A shield can be found at Beach Hut Rocky Pool Sand Stick in Ixbird's world
perfect
I might play some later, double-check EL is truly BK'd and if that's the case maybe go for a stupidly high % of ASH
FlitterLttP sent Koot Tape to Paper Arti (Dark World Lumberjack Shop Center)
FlitterLttP sent Golden Feather to JayASH (Dark World Lumberjack Shop Right)
What is koot tape bro..
ah i think that one sucks
Yeah I'm super lost
The tape? It gives you the lucky day badge base game
It's the last item in a very long trading sidequest
!!
FlitterLttP sent Ocarina to kr?t (Skull Woods - Compass Chest)
Let's stop here because this game gives me a headache
Next time I play it'll be in the normal world first, dark mode after
did you have the game start in dark world?
Yes
interesting

Most of the checks I can reach are in the regular world
But I'd have to actually go up the mountain to swap
I'll do that tomorrow
Ixlily is indeed still in BK
I previously guessed that 4 items would break me out of it. 1 of those guesses was incorrect, but now that I've done a suicide run into one of the other rooms I'm fairly certain the other 3 were correct. So any of these items would immediately give me access to at least one more room:
- Bloody Knight's Claws
- Dash
- Giant's Hammer
oh, and I don't have enough hint points yet, unless Flitter's cool with doing one of those cross-slot hint things we sometimes do
on to birding
immediate success: @cold valve
I'm in bed so I'd rather wait until more people are stuck
I just finished the last of my semester projects so I only have assignments left, which means I'm going to ramp up the time I play every day
seriously, it hasn't even been 10 minutes and I've found two boomerangs (and all this other stuff)
Thanks for stick
Fuck yeah, thanks!
oh look another critical Rom item
hm, the whole multiworld is at 30%, and Ixlily's stuck at 5%, so if we pretend all games are equal that implies I should play ASH up to 55%
I am so bad at beachstickball
Lol what? XD
Furry convention trap hires a lot of entertainers for you
So you have to either fire them manually or lose a lot of money
So it is actually what I'm probably thinking. XD
There's also a minigame where you solve a quiz to fire them all at once
All the ice traps. XD
so normally we try to summarize the important items we found but... this seed man
oops all progression
Thanks for quake, rare seashell
Boots and key! Yay!
and that's 55%
what if instead of doing my post-work AP checkup i take a lil nap instead
what if instead of i
Thanks for big poe, goron tunic, gerudo membership card, GTG key ring, kokiri sword, second bomb bag, farore's wind, heart container
FlitterOoT sent Magic Powder to DrRomLADX (Kak Anju as Child)
FlitterOoT sent Golden Feather to JayASH (Kak 30 Gold Skulltula Reward)
Deku tree is deku tree
magic! stick upgrade! kokiri sword! longshot! big quiver! another death! giant wallet! boomerang! bigger bomb bag! thats a bunch of checks
Time to fight queen Gohma
FlitterOoT sent Strago to Dessy-FF6WC (Deku Tree Queen Gohma Heart)
[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Song of Time is at Snatcher's Contract - Toilet of Doom in A Chip in Time's World. (not found) @fierce vale I need this to make my bottle useful
unfortunately im in office tommorow so ill be on lste
No worries
also i don't know where that level is since i haven't found any sub con first yet
Let's try to skip this big dude so we can unlock more locations https://i.imgur.com/gd7KwCn.png
Turns out he hid Lost Woods behind him https://i.imgur.com/hFnI4RS.png
FlitterOoT sent Shovel to JayASH (ZF GS Above the Log)
Magic for Kratta
Dodongo's Cavern is itself
My god, the possibilities in that one branch are endless
I'll stop here for today
thanks for all the stuff!
magpie forgot all my saved entrances

fire arrows for meganoot
wallet for arti
ooo thanks
quake for dessy-smz3
thanks. Magic is good.
bk mode for oot again, but i did complete jabu jabu
got forest medallion
i have the water medallion too but i dont remember getting that? i know we get a free one but i thought we got that as an adult
You get the free one immediately upon starting a seed
thats the light medallion check?
I don't know
All I know is you get a free dungeon reward in your pocket when you start a seed
damn i need that laser cutter fragment but those both require adult link
If we get stuck for a while I can do the door of time skip
or hint one of my items
Yeah but now I want to explain concurrency, not play Archipelago
yep. In AP rando you start with that because the default setting is open door of time
In OOTMM you have to earn the light medallion because door of time is closed usually
Flitters kak shop has like 3 super important items so far lol
:o
@midnight depot Could you look up in the log where I got a Sleepy Sheep? Its supposed to be a repeatable location
Yes
[root at 2024-05-02 20:07:46,425]: (Team #1) Paper Arti sent Sleepy Sheep to Paper Arti (DDO Outpost 2 Toad House Roof)
thats not repeatable but I just found another
[root at 2024-05-07 13:40:11,963]: (Team #1) Paper Arti sent Sleepy Sheep to Paper Arti (SSS Merluvlee's House Merlow's Badges 8)
ye I just got that
Maybe there's at least one repeatable source and multiple non-repeatable ones
yes the repeatable one should be bonking a tree or in a shop so its neither of those
The spoiler log says there are five sleepy sheep locations
well I only needed this one so its ok
Oh does it require a lantern?
all my games are all checked out
Another ice trap. How many are there? XD
i think they play with all junk is replaced with ice traps
Ah, I see.
Okay, now I'm stuck in a dark room and I can't figure out how to get out
[Hint]: FlitterLttP's Lamp is at Song from Windmill in FlitterOoT's World. (not found)
Instead of bashing my head against A Link to the Past, I'm going to play the game I know better
I can technically get to that check, if I abuse enough bugs, or if Chip finds my thing
Doing that will require door of time skip, which should get my shop stuff
Thank you for iron boots, nocturne of shadows
FlitterOoT sent Fishing Rod to JayASH (Dodongos Cavern Map Chest)
np
Today I learned you don't need the hookshot for this check
You can just drag the statue all the way over, backflip onto the statue, then jump onto the ledge to climb up and kill the gold skulltula
as child?
Yes
I think you can just run into it or backflip into it
It wasn't that high but I used boomerang anyway
I was wondering what's up with my computer
Turns out my browser was eating all my CPU time https://i.imgur.com/M4cZhqO.png
Specifically the microsoft office online pages I had open
Microsoft Word allows you to type and format your documents after all

Normal behavior https://i.imgur.com/SQswO7E.png
FlitterOoT sent TotG Big Key to Toon Arti (Dodongos Cavern Bomb Flower Platform Chest)
FlitterOoT sent Book to Dessy-SMZ3 (Dodongos Cavern GS Back Room)
Book
What a descriptive name
Dodongo's cavern done
FlitterOoT sent Triple Jump to Dessy-SM64 (Dodongos Cavern King Dodongo Heart)
thats a good item
[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Rutos Letter is at Dead Bird Studio (Rift) - Page: Above TV Room in A Chip in Time's World at Time Rift - Dead Bird Studio. (not found)
FlitterOoT sent Mailbag to Paper Arti (ZR Frogs in the Rain)
FlitterOoT sent Bucket to FlitterASH (Market Lost Dog)
Let's play A Short Hike
I have made it to the peak https://i.imgur.com/dPUb5BC.png
(The goal is help everyone though)
FlitterASH sent Umaro to Dessy-FF6WC (House North Beach Seashell)
FlitterASH sent Kooper to Paper Arti (Purchase Sunhat)
Wow my final partner
FlitterASH sent Light Arrows to Meganoot (Fisherman's Boat Chest 1)
FlitterASH sent Gravity to Dessy-SMZ3 (Compass Guy)
Race 1 of 3 won https://i.imgur.com/Ehx1AAL.png
Let's play beachstickball
I got a stick for Ixrec
https://i.imgur.com/L9TOfHL.png really good run
you're way better at it than me apparently
I think I got 27 the other day before deciding I'd tried enough for one session
41 is my all time high score
I usually struggle to get 30
FlitterASH sent CardLowerNorfairL1 to Dessy-SMZ3 (Orange Islands East Chest)
FlitterASH sent Triforce Shard 5 to Toon Arti (Orange Islands South Hidden Chest)
FlitterASH sent Stick to JayASH (Outlook Point Dog Gift)
FlitterASH sent Nightmare Key (Turtle Rock) to DrRomLADX (Visitor's Center Shop Golden Feather 2)
And that's enough Archipelago for today
i think thats my first triforce
oh some big stuff there
Dark rooms are tough
Walk around with your sword out
Or just wait for lamp if your dark room logic is lamp
You may end up getting flute first to get up there
Dark room logic is indeed lamp
That said there are only 2 rooms going up the mountain
I can go out of logic in OoT and get my own lamp, which I will if I have to (it's easier than learning dark rooms)
first one is vaguely up right down right up right, and the second one is basically right a little, down a bit, right (going against diagonal wall) to wall, down, left, down
I like how so many of the games we play have "dark room needs lamp" logic
paper mario has dark room needs watt?
Yeah, I tried doing the dark rooms with a picture then got through the first one and got stuck
You probably kept falling in the pit
Got stuck against walls
Yep. Using sword to detect walls and then following them
I might give it another try later
My lamp is in my OoT world
But you might find my flute
Or mirror?
I forgot which methods allow me to swap to the light world
i need paintings or the no bonk badge to get anything from subcon forest
Dessy-SM64's Ground Pound is at Forest Temple MQ Raised Island Courtyard Upper Chest in kr?t's World at DMC Fire Temple Entrance -> Fire Temple Lower. (not found)
Dessy-SM64's Vanish Cap is at Mountains West Wreck - Office Databox in Submega's World. (not found)
Dessy-SM64's Wing Cap is at Cliffside Hamlet 03 - Amulet Fragment in Ixlily's World. (not found)
Dessy-SM64's Long Jump is at Bottom of the Well Invisible Chest in Meganoot's World at Zoras Fountain -> Jabu Jabus Belly Beginning. (not found)
Dessy-SM64's Climb is at Below Lighthouse Walkway Stick in JayASH's World. (not found)
Those five should allow me to do every check in SM64
No one ever hints stuff in my games..
[Hint]: Llisandur's Dragon Claw is at Deku Tree Basement Chest in Arti's World at Desert Colossus -> Spirit Temple Lobby. (not found)
There you go. :P
lets gooooo
Lol
That game is in weird egg waiting room
you know this is a serious run when we're one week in and we don't have all the weird eggs
have you hinted your egg?
well my oot is still BK
tho light arrows is neat
and so is my subnautica
might try to do a bit more in it anyway
well that was unexpectedly terrifying
i went all the way out to lifepod two, which as it turns out, is 500m down
i dont have a submarine yet, so i wasnt sure if my airtank could go that far
as i was coming up, i had to basically crash into a ghost leviathan. i couldnt go around it, as i'd used half my oxygen just getting down and was running out
yay
there was two checks there, 5 rupees for krat and an ice trap for me! hooray!
sounds a lot like Outer Wilds when I try to go for DB checks early
have you played subnautica ix?
no but I did watch an LP once
its a great game but theres a lot of dark bramble moments in it
tho tbh i think dark bramble tops them
i've yet to play outer wilds yet
is this useful rom?
It's progression
well i could have gotten that earlier, so oops
turns out two of the wrecks i thought i needed the lazer cutter for, had another harder to see entrance! who knew?
well the developers did obviously
and the rando guys
and speedrunners probably
It's okay because I also found a magic powder earlier
it would explain why the game was telling me to go to those wrecks
Unfortunately powder is never useful once I've found the trendy game, which is usually right away
Yes it's needed for many checks, but you buy it for 10 rupees from the get-go
Unless your trendy game is randomized to a hard to reach place (which mine wasn't)
Interestingly i found 2 sets of locations that just swapped with each other, and one locations that randomized to its normal place
oof
French vanilla
@clear summit
All junk in todays Paper Mario
does progression balance place junk in your world if you're ahead / someone is behind?
iiuc progression balancing "only" takes progression items and moves them earlier than they were already placed, but that may involve swapping them with junk items so I believe it could lead to that
never really studied it at a technical level though
Yeah that's correct
Can't move progression items to be earlier unless you swap them with non-progression items or later progression items
Hi
Let's play
Monster Sanctuary, I guess
Thanks for shift stones, stronghold dungeon key, rare seashell, sanctuary token, blue cave key, blob burg key, magma chamber key, and mozzie
What the fuck is mozzie
Is it cheese?
Last we left I couldn't progress because I didn't have enough blue cave keys for this door
FlitterMS sent Prelude of Light to FlitterOoT (Blue Cave - Upper South Vertical)
FlitterMS sent Triforce Shard 7 to Toon Arti (Blue Cave - South Big Rock Room)
I have three of five tokens
I was getting tempted to fully BK my ASH slot, guess I "have" to now
It's okay, I won't actually need that area until I'm level 30 and I'm still level 12
FlitterMS sent Running Shoes to JayASH (Blue Cave - East 4)
I got the easter egg monster
It's an extreme glass cannon
Nice.
FlitterMS sent Magic Rod to DrRomLADX (Blue Cave - East 1)
FlitterMS sent Strawberry to JayCEL (Blue Cave - East 2)
FlitterMS sent BigKeyGT to Dessy-SMZ3 (Blue Cave - Crystal Room - Upper Ledge Chest 2)
FlitterMS sent Energy Tank to Dessy-SM (Mountain Path - Water Orb Chest)
yeah, it's unlikely all 3 are in locations I can reach right now anyway
FlitterMS sent Nightmare Key (Eagle's Tower) to DrRomLADX (Snowy Peaks - West Cave - Ice Orb Chest)
FlitterMS sent Magic Armor to Toon Arti (Snowy Peaks - West Cave - Upper Chest)
FlitterMS sent Small Key (Water Temple) to kr?t (Snowy Peaks - West Cave - Middle Chest)
FlitterMS sent Small Key (Gerudo Training Ground) to kr?t (Snowy Peaks - West Mountain - Western Chest)
/:o
FlitterMS sent Bowser Castle Key to Paper Arti (Snowy Peaks - West Mountain - Diamond Block Chest)
FlitterMS sent Kokiri Sword to kr?t (Snowy Peaks - West Mountain Peak - Breakable Wall Chest)
FlitterMS sent Weird Egg to Arti (Snowy Peaks - East Mountain - Lower Crumble Ledge Chest 2) @weary lagoon
FlitterMS sent Seaglide Fragment to Submega (Snowy Peaks - East Mountain - West Crumble Ledge Chest)
FlitterMS sent Small Key Ring (Shadow Temple) to FlitterOoT (Snowy Peaks - East Mountain - Upper Cave Chest)
So many progression items
I think it may be time to hint for my feather
why do you have seaglide fragments? i set that to early seaglide, i already have it
early seaglide means "in swimming distance of the lifepod"
otherwise im expected to swim everywhere on the map myself
Maybe it just gives you a seaglide but keeps randomizing all the fragments anyway
[Hint]: FlitterMS's Blue Cave key is at Market Bazaar Item 7 in FlitterOoT's World. (not found)
Next I will play Ocarina of Time, and if Chip couldn't find my thing yet I'll try the door of time skip
Thanks for Din's fire, song of time (!), prelude of light, shadow temple key ring
Thank you chip
FlitterOoT sent Food Stall to JayRCT (Sheik at Temple)
Wow you can warp straight to the temple and turn adult.
FlitterOoT sent Neptune Cockpit to Submega (Gerudo Training Ground Stalfos Chest)
FlitterOoT found their Fire Arrows (Gerudo Training Ground Maze Path First Chest)
but can you get to the kek shop..
I meant to say kak
What a hassle
One day the government will allow me to cut down some trees
Jay did you see my ping
I think I will buy this
Too expensive
And I will buy this
FlitterOoT sent KeyPD to Dessy-SMZ3 (Kak 40 Gold Skulltula Reward)
I will also buy this
Later, I will come back and buy this
You got your Hammer @weary lagoon
I also have:
Terrato for Dessy 185
Stone Tablet Fragment 185
Strength for Artiks 200,
Bloody Knight's Claws 85
I really really really need that strength
I'll need another wallet for it so let me hint my wallet
FUCK
[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Progressive Wallet is at Sleepy Subcon - Page: Behind Crane in A Chip in Time's World at Time Rift - Rumbi Factory. (not found)
FlitterOoT sent Lamp to FlitterLttP (Song from Windmill)
My lamp!
Bah, my game froze
I'll stop here for now and come back to it later
uh ohh
time to egg it up
Vanilla Eponas song?? What has this world come to
that means HBA is in logic ๐
time to learn what my win condition is
thats all 9
Oh boy
I managed to get Dampes timed reward while playing at 200% speed
would love to hint my last strength but it would probably just show the one in your shop
Nice work
It will almost definitely show the one in my shop so I recommend you wait for a wallet
The fire temple is the spirit temple! Scary place!
Can adult Link get the really annoying skulltula in deku tree or do you need to crawl through a hole
He can get to it from the other side
There's a trick to burn cobwebs with a regular arrow but it's hard
time to BK this bird
YOOO
I did a sick backflip over the spiked pole
that was a lot of work for 18 coins for Jay
Good luck
For that puzzle I think I climb on the platform after it passes the spikes
The Deku Tree down!!! 2/9!!
ah, truncation
I need my weird egg to get to temple of time, so I hope someone finds it soon 
Bottom of the well map is nice
neat, I beat Avery rematch without the running shoes
I have no idea what that does but it's a progression so thanks
Arti sent Angler Key to DrRomLADX (LH Freestanding PoH)
lets gooo
Yay, finally have the dragon claw and can do more.
this chest takes some work with only 3 feathers
huh, even the old building race wasn't that hard with only 3 feathers and no shoes
Maybe my wallet is available now?
Yeah, it's a lot easier if you know the route or have a bucket
