#

we used to use the Courtyard Key for access rules, but recently eme told me we didn't need to do that bc you can hop on the Capital Sequoia walls easily

#

i've been debating making an obscure routes connection vs using the Courtyard Key; otherwise it should get demoted to non-progression

midnight depot
#

Yeah! From a design perspective, the courtyard key exists so that players who did not find the way to the mars stone are clued in to go there

modern ivy
#

ah, a little prod towards cobblestone

midnight depot
#

Because strictly speaking, the river is an optional detour

#

At least, that's what I recall Riverrunner said about it

inner shoal
#

ahh that makes sense

midnight depot
#

It is kind of nonobvious that you can get to the crag. It's treacherous, there's an enemy that kills you instantly, and it seems like it goes on forever

#

So naturally players would leave it for later but then forget about it when later comes

#

Even though you have like three different ways to get to it

inner shoal
#

the crag demon is pretty intimidating haha

midnight depot
#

A big flaw in the game is that you are not told that different enemy flames behave differently until the undercity

#

So you may not be aware that Crag Demon hunts you by vision alone

modern ivy
#

yeah agreed

Hi. Let's play Crystal Project

Got a bunch of out of logic checks:


[2026-01-12 13:31:32,894]: (Team #1) LEVEL 3! sent Ribbon to LlisandurFF4 (The Deep Sea Chest - Ruins just south of Jidamba 1)

Hello

#

I had to accompany family on a trip

#

Let's play Crystal Project

#

Still no mounts

#

I would like to have owl, since that makes getting Mimic and Summoner possible

#

[Hint]: LEVEL 3!'s Item - Babel Quintar is at Pokedex - Cleffa in AlopexePKMN3-1's World at Ruin Valley (Good Rod), Treasure Beach (Land). (priority)

#

With Babel Quintar I can breed my own gliding mount without owl, so if the following checks are impossible consider it instead

#
LEVEL 3!'s Item - Progressive Mount Instrument is at Pokedex - Rattata in AlopexePKMN3-1's World at Pokemon Mansion 2F (Land), Route 10 (Land), Route 9 (Land), Water Path (Land). (priority)```
#

Until then, I want to teach my characters the rest of my abilities so that I can do the arena

#

So we can fight these guys

#

Using jugular and tanking their fire breath attack gives us a free win

#

And since I have LP gains multiplied in accessibility settings I only need to do it once per class

#

With every available class mastered, I can do something like this for sky arena

#

Start every fight with jugular

#

Pass turn

#

And every time, re-raise will bring me back

#

Since none of the enemies in the arena are bosses, they are not immune to instant death, and this setup only fails in cases where an enemy gets two magical attacks on me before they die.

#

This also works if you shuffle enemies with the in-game randomizer, because it cannot shuffle enemies that are immune to instant death

#

And class get

With this I am out of checks that are in logic. I have to receive either one more progressive mount instrument or three more clamshells to proceed

#

How's everybody else doing so far? We're almost at the halfway point of the month, with about 60% of checks found

#

Oh yeah I also want the next luxury pass

Soul badge gives me surf which opens up a bit of stuff.

Derp, I jsut realized I have the thing which evolves into Wailord to get your mount thing. Let me level it up.

LlisandurPKMN3-1 sent Item - Progressive Mount Instrument to LEVEL 3! (Pokedex - Wailord)

#

Wonderful, thanks!

#

Let's get back to Crystal Project then

#

With the help of owl I can get my own salmon LEVEL 3! found their Item - Progressive Mount Instrument (Jidamba Tangle NPC - Diamond atop broken ruins by the Summoner tree)

And can get weaver

And Mimic

And in Slip Glide Ride, with evil slope abuse we can reach the summoner crystal from behind

#

fascinating, how does the owl go up the slope like that?

midnight depot
#

You just fly into the slope as pictured

#

It's a physics bug

modern ivy
#

huh

#

pretty neat i'd never seen that before

midnight depot
#

You need to let go of the jump button the moment before you hit the slope so it starts pushing you up

#

You still need to hold left though

modern ivy
#

good to know, i'll have to try that sometime

inner shoal
#

oh i see eme asked already

#

lollll

midnight depot

It's not remarkably hard either. Took me a couple of minutes after watching the video. My biggest mistake was holding the jump button

modern ivy
midnight depot
#

I need two more deity eyes to fight a boss I probably won't

modern ivy
#

lol

#

finished one of my nonograms

midnight depot
#

One day I will learn what nonogram is

modern ivy
#

it's also called picross

#

looks like this

#

except usually without any ? marks

#

i can also give you more details if you want

inner shoal
#

i love them

#

usually you're solving toward a picture of something, i don't know if the AP nonograms bother making the final image look like anything in particular

modern ivy
#

they definitely don't!

midnight depot
#

Ohh

#

Picross I have heard of a lot more and was never curious to look at it

fresh hill
#

ah, I used to love these, though I hadn't heard either of those names for it

midnight depot
#

There's a third name?!

#

Picross is a Nintendo series

inner shoal
#

when i was a kid, i had "paint by numbers" puzzle books

midnight depot
#

I thought paint by number was more like you had to draw lines between points and then fill in with specific colors

inner shoal
#

hmm now that you mention it, i remember that too
how confusing lol

midnight depot
#

Apparently that's called connect the dots

inner shoal
#

that makes me think of when i was looking at the Hidden Object tag on Steam, and most of those games are like, click on objects inside a busy picture
but one of the games in the list was a pvp game where you disguise yourself as an object

#

i was like ok, technically i guess there is a hidden object involved here XD

midnight depot
#

My mom is an addict. She somehow finds and plays the worst hidden object games

fresh hill
#

my mom plays good hidden object games

inner shoal
#

i think my favorite trashy hidden object game has to be New York Mysteries: The Lantern of Souls

#

what if you were a journalist going to some house bc someone died but then you find out Nazis kidnapped Death and you have to defeat them so people can start dying properly again instead of turning into zombies?

#

i think i prefer how the large puzzle is working in terms of being able to actually use hints and not getting hit with a continuous stream of pieces

i think maybe 5-15 may be a good balance

Hi

#

Let's play Crystal Project

#

LEVEL 3! (Team #1) has completed their goal.

#

LEVEL 3! sent Item - Clamshell to EmeCP (Seaside Cliffs NPC - If you give a Manana Man a clam... (he will ask you for more))

midnight depot
#

Bug report: Clam man asked for 14 clams but took 13 from me

cold valve
#

Are clamshells GSTs?

midnight depot
#

Kinda

#

In the vanilla game you find all clams in one region to get one check in return

#

Same for bones. Other collectibles like penguins and crabs give multiple checks with milestones

#

But all of these collectibles are restricted to one region

#

Hmm, I need the mirror shield to kill Guaba

#

Or I can kill the Lv? dummy for the training sword and get it that way

midnight depot
#

Chemist-aegis can make up random buffs with chemist and stack them with entrench, then mimic can copy all of them

#

And first boss dead

midnight depot
#

The build is here

#
  • Character 1 uses Guaba.
  • 2 and 3 alternate between Observe and Repeat. Repeat will always cast Guaba.
  • 1 and 4 now skip every turn.
#

Repeat until every boss dies

#

Except I'm not going to do it for this boss since it's extremely slow and doesn't give checks

#

This boss unlocks checks so I'll fight it

#

This boss has 17k HP, so I need to repeat the cycle about twice that many times

#

24 times

modern ivy
#

total lockdown, amazing

midnight depot
#

Now, given that this strategy works on everything that locks checks, I'm just going to release and we can all pretend I did it several hundred times to kill the castle bosses

#

Final time

#

I got 1200/1276 checks without killing a single boss

modern ivy
#

lol

#

that's a very reasonable choice

midnight depot
#
LEVEL 3! (Team #1) has released all remaining items from their world.

LEVEL 3! sent Fame Checker to AlopexePKMN3-1 (Quintar Reserve Shop - Babel to this Quintar 3)

LEVEL 3! sent Fury_of_the_Fallen to DragonsHK (Capital Sequoia Shop - Upgraded Luxury Shop Medium Armor 1)
LEVEL 3! sent Platinum Card to DragonSoulBlazer (Capital Sequoia Shop - Upgraded Luxury Shop Martial Weapons 6)

LEVEL 3! sent 3 Puzzle Pieces to EmeJig (Sequoia Athenaeum Chest - 3rd library Chip's Challenge)x2

LEVEL 3! sent Slime Key to La DxRomulus (Capital Sequoia Shop - Upgraded Luxury Shop Exotic Weapons 3)

LEVEL 3! sent 1 Puzzle Piece to octy_jigsaw_smal (Castle Sequoia Chest - Chilly duo in Chips Challenge of doom)x6```
#

Notes for next time I decide to do the level 3 challenge:
1- Do NOT shuffle shops. Not being able to buy all the accessories I want massively slowed me down.
2- Make Labyrinth excluded. It's possible to get all the checks inside without fighting anything, but one misstep means having to repeat all the puzzles.
3- Keep crystals vanilla.
4- If you shuffle bosses, Anubis and the true final boss have no strategies, so exclude them.

It's January 30th. Any chance we can finish before the end of the month?

Looks like Dr Romulus needs his Angler Key at Octy's Merge 565 times, but Octy needs two more merges from Alop.exe, which are at Piloswine, Golbat, Spheal, Magneton pokedex entries, or Lostelle Gift

Oh, it also lopes like Alop.exe is in go mode, so finishing the game and releasing remaining checks is also an option

Thank you for joining me in the Manechat Archipelago Game for January 2026. This month we've had 13 games, 40 spheres, and 6628 locations. Players in the Playthrough file, listed from last to first receiving an item, are @proven holly with small jigsaw, @inner shoal with Hollow Knight, octy with large jigsaw, @modern ivy with Crystal Project, @cold valve with LADX, me with Crystal Project, Emerassi with Nonograms, Emerassi with Jigsaw, Dragons with Soul Blazer, @silent siren with Pokemon, @tender pelican with Pokemon, Llisandur with FF4, and Emerassi with the second Nonogram. Included are the game log, spoiler log, yamls and output file. The game link was at https://archipelago.gg/room/zCfnEL4WR4iGdIpBtGqWog

#

Hello, @here! I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until the the end of February 2026. If you're interested, please read the list of available games https://archipelago.gg/games and pick one or more games to run (or browse the archipelago discord server for unsupported games!), then ping me so I can keep track of you and help you out with any problems. Let's try to make sure that you like the game you picked and can complete it by the end of the month!
The game will start Thursday, February 5th or whenever everyone interested is ready.

In order to join, I will need the YAML files for whatever games you want to play. Please make sure you only join with a manageable workload, and the ability to play at least a little every four or so days.

For this month I will try to shuffle as few things as the YAML allows me

Hmmm, kill_bosses_mode is fun. Maybe I don't want to shuffle as few things as possible.

any level based logic for Cry Pro should be based only on recieved progressive level items, unless level_gating is completely disabled

so even if you could kill mobs for levels it should never consider that fact for item placement

Thank you for joining me in the Manechat Archipelago game for February 2026! This month we've had 11 games, 3787 locations, and 57 spheres. Players in the playthrough file, listed from last to first receiving an item, are @tender pelican with Hollow Knight (with literally ten spheres at the end???), me with Crypt of the Necrodancer, @proven holly with Factorio and Jigsaw, @rare oxide with Pokemon Crystal, @cold valve with LADX, @faint grove with Pokemon Emerald, me with Crystal Project, Daibesu with Terraria, Ryan with Hollow Knight, and me with Ape Escape in sphere 39. Included are the game log, spoiler log, yamls and output file. The game link was at https://archipelago.gg/room/494vzau5TrCJgyooLB1zag

#

Hello, @here! I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until the the end of March 2026. If you're interested, please read the list of available games https://archipelago.gg/games and pick one or more games to run (or browse the archipelago discord server for unsupported games!), then ping me so I can keep track of you and help you out with any problems. Let's try to make sure that you like the game you picked and can complete it by the end of the month!
The game will start Monday, March 2nd or whenever everyone interested is ready.

In order to join, I will need the YAML files for whatever games you want to play. Please make sure you only join with a manageable workload, and the ability to play at least a little every four or so days.

I need to finish Crystal Project, but I need lots of money to make a gold quintar and farming money is boring. XD

tender pelican
#

No, it was a pain trying to climb it and then I got distracted.

#

That's where I need to go next.

#

I basically just have the tree and under the castle to do.

midnight depot
#

Other than that, my recommended method is repeatedly killing sea enemies with four wizards, and using the accessibility settings

tender pelican
#

Every time I look at the accessibility settings it warns me that I can't turn it off again so I haven't touched it. XD

midnight depot
#

That's correct, but

#

You can adjust some of them to the original level or disable them

#

All it actually does in most cases is mark your save file as having used them

#

The ones you cannot turn off AND cannot stop benefiting from are the extended timers and healing home point accessibility settings

rare oxide
#

I plan on playing bugs again and ds3 if I can get it working.

DS3 can get a bit messy, but it's playable

Expect to spend a lot of time, because it's hard and has many checks

I can beat ds3 naked with a spoon, so no problem there lol

Currently, Dr Romulus, Ryan, Octy, Daibesu, Alop.exe all have expressed interest. I have files from everyone but Ryan

#

Today is Saturday.

#

Used to be

tender pelican
#

I still need to get my files. I forgot that February only has 28 days and thought I had more time.

midnight depot
#

Happens! Would you like a few days?

#

We can start on Thursday or Friday if it suits you

tender pelican
#

Nah, should be fine. I'll figure out something tonight most likely.

fresh hill
#

I'll be skipping March too

#

Trying Chrono Trigger again, we'll see if it works this time, Dragon Warrior, and FF Mystic Quest. All apworlds updated to latest from the updater.

#

Eh, haven't gotten to getting DS3 working yes. The randomizer doesn't want to work. I'll just play Hollow Knight this month.

midnight depot
#

Got it!

midnight depot
#

Whoa, did the Outer Wilds apworld jump into 1.x?

fresh hill
#

they even gave me a channel instead of a thread

midnight depot
#

Hell yeah. That happens when the thread has too many people

fresh hill
#

yep, the current rule is you can ask for one at 750 users, which OW passed a while back, so when the PR for Forgotten Castaways showed up, I figured it was a good time to finally call it v1 and also ask for a channel

#

I dunno if any of the recent OW changes affect players here though

midnight depot
#

Probably not

#

For this month I'll adjust the settings on Crypt of the Necrodancer to make it smoother, and rerun the two other games

#

All right. Everything is ready, but it looks like Archipelago is going through a server expansion. Let's start tomorrow just in case

proven holly
#

since we haven't started, I have a jigsaw apworld update (the old one is supposed to work fine with the new website update, but just in case)

fresh hill
#

apparently the Archipelago server change is "done", at this point the only step left is waiting for the many layers of IP caches to update to the new IP

#

since this is a relatively small group, might be worth individually checking if we can all open https://archipelago.gg/

#

oh duh the old server's still running for "2 days" so that will currently work whether or not you've updated

midnight depot
#

It's fine, it's already past midnight so I will not be starting it

midnight depot
#

Hi

midnight depot
#

I think we're ready? Let's check

#

Alop, Daibesu, Dr Romulus, Me, Llisandur, Octy, Ryan

#

That's everyone

#

Game's up. Let me set up everything else and ping everyone

#

All right, the game is on with @silent siren, @faint grove, @cold valve @proven holly, @midnight depot, @tender pelican, @proven holly @rare oxide! Let me know if you need anything

#

Let's play Crystal Project

#

The game is a few versions ahead of the archipelago version by now, but I guess it didn't change much so that's okay

#

Starting classes are shaman, ninja, beastmaster, beatsmith, ninja, mimic, reaper.

#

And I start in Europa Shrine, conveniently triggering a hidden capital teleport NPC

midnight depot
#

Oh sorry

#

Here you go

cold valve
#

Yay

#

Taking bets to what my starting item will be

#

I'll find out when i get home from work

#

Feels like a bombs start

midnight depot
#

It looks like I started with zero region passes and triggered a failsafe to grant me a region pass for my starting zone

#

Also, since I'm level 3 and the enemies are level 50 in here, it'll have to be dodge city for me.

cold valve
#

Also taking bets to which planet i spawn on in outer wilds
