CC Plays: Rain World 45 - Leeches
Переглядів 1469 годин тому
I find the first pearl that will take me some time to translate in my blind playthrough of Rain World. In several rooms in Rain World, I discover a way to traverse the environment and I immediately think, "I'm sure there are other ways to get through this room, but I just don't see them." This happened multiple times during this episode, especially when I relied heavily on pointy sticks to crea...
CC Plays: Monster Train 79 - Fallen Champion

Heph the Blacksmith is my champion in my playthrough of Monster Train. It is often said that Thorns tends to be a non-optimal choice in video games. For Monster Train, these are called Spikes and, although I do believe heavily using them to not be the best strategic decision, using a little bit can be quite helpful. One of the reasons Thorns or 'revenge damage' is considered a poor choice in ga...

I discover a true underwater region in my blind playthrough of Rain World. Learning how to swim and survive through underwater areas was a challenge for me earlier in my Rain World series. Now I take the true test of my knowledge and abilities by exploring a region with entire rooms constantly underwater. The environment wants to kill my little slugcat even more than usual!

CC Plays: Monster Train 78 - Brains Over Brawn
Переглядів 31День тому
I use my brain to build big, brawny minions in my playthrough of Monster Train. Quite a few games have a 'Brains Over Brawn' challenge or achievement or custom setting. I found it quite amusing that my solution to Monster Train's version of this was to create minions with lots of strength and health. I guess it was my champion that was supposed to be the brainy one of the bunch, but it turns ou...
CC Plays: Rain World 43 - Puppet

I learn about puppets in my blind playthrough of Rain World. I also die quite a few times. This particular small section of Rain World gave me a lot of trouble, which is probably partially due to my stubbornness about getting through it this particular time. This primarily happens with me when I know I *can* do something; I know I have the ability and requisite skill, I just need to apply it an...

My deck is covered in Blight in my playthrough of Monster Train. And wow are Blights painful in Monster Train. Most deckbuilders have a type of card that is considered only trash, like Monster Train's Blights, but in many of those other games they are not this hard to deal with. Usually there is some mechanism that can make trash cards bearable or, in rare cases, even useful. Even the cards and...
CC Plays: Rain World 42 - The Martyr
Переглядів 16021 день тому
I achieve The Martyr Passage in my blind playthrough of Rain World. A good purpose for an achievement in a video is to get players to try out playstyles or mechanics that they might not otherwise experience. The Martyr passage did this quite well for me. On my own, I would have avoiding ever hibernating without enough food and simply died instead. Now that The Martyr demanded that I not only tr...

I counteract Stealth in my playthrough of Monster Train. I find Stealth and Damage Shield to be almost equivalent in Monster Train. There are obvious differences, such as Spells ignoring Stealth and Multistrike working much better against Damage Shield than Stealth but aside from those technical differences, both allow a unit to attack without being damaged itself. These especially help during ...

I work on my armor in my playthrough of Monster Train. Roguelikes love to provide players with benefit-over-time effects because, unlike many games, you don't have time to get lots of benefits out of such effects so they become strategically difficult to evaluate rather than something that encourages slow play. The same mechanics often show up in board games, especially those that have a limite...

I become a hunter in my blind playthrough of Rain World. I also learn about the importance of water, something that seems absolutely important to a game named Rain World. Water levels, mechanics, and swimming are part of many video games but it is unusual for water to be a central part of the lore for a game. I expect with Rain World that there is more to learn about the rain, shoreline, and ho...

    Now that you've died to the rain a few times you can hear the strange sound that plays just before the rain hits. It's most noticeable at your first death since you were deeper into the submerged superstructure, although the sound can be heard throughout most of submerged superstructure at varying audio levels. I'll let you figure out the lore implications of this mysterious noise.

    7:04 You may have noticed that dead dolphins can occasionally be found floating around shoreline, especially in heavily constricted areas or when there are large groups of them. There is a reason for that. See, dolphins move so fast that they can use their own body as a weapon, dealing damage by just ramming into stuff. It's not much, but it does stack up over time. I suspect that dolphin is not "tired". Not after 6:38 and 6:44

    10:18 I know I am incredibly late, but this is an easy lore tidbit to miss: In your actions, under Switch Spirits, it states that the Umbral Knight enables Lily to draw out the power of Blighted Spirits she's purified. So the reason Lily interacts with Spirits but the others (unless you count the Priestesses mentioned in anecdotal flavor text in various ancient rings...) do not goes right back into, 'Because the Umbral Knight is with Lily, and not any of the others.' As for 'why?' well... you know by now as much as anyone else does, but my reigning assumption at this point, based off his dialogue at the bridge in the beginning, is that by the time he got here everyone else was already dead, or inaccessible - as seems to be the case with the Priestess of the Fount.

    I’ll offer a warning, of a meta veriety. This is important for experiencing the lore hunt at all properly and is something there’s 0 in game way of knowing. Do all you wish too in the Survivor, then move into Hunter and perform him perfectly before going into any more slugcats mod charecters (also known as the downpour slugcats) MSC was a fan written, fan made project that the Devs gave their seal of approval to give some life back into the game. The writing is very different, and the story is very different as well compared to the Survivor and The Hunter playthroughs. It directly states answers to many things left intentionally vauge in the base game, and changes the mood of the story. It’s official lore, but only within its own ecosystem as a AU, the original lore is still its own thing that the new dlc is going to build off of instead.

    You found the purple pearl! This is one of the best early pearls in my opinion, and that's not just my favourite color bias talking. It really is unfortunate they hid it in a place most letsplayers miss until much later. Anyway, with it transcribed, I can finally reveal what I meant by "3 very intriguing things" back in episode 28: At 9:36 you saw water vapor being released from the machinery, which you might now have some thoughts about At 9:56 you directly observed the transition between non-lethal and lethal rain, caused by you going further into the cloud layer, not the rain only starting up like you presumably thought ...and then of course there's 35:26

    • @collectionconnoisseur
      @collectionconnoisseur Місяць тому

      I do have some thoughts about the water vapor being released from machinery, I recently recorded an episode in which I talk about that, though I didn't remember that I had seen it. As for the blue lightning effect, I have in my notes two places I've seen it and haven't been back to yet and that's one of them.

    hey, dont take this as a spoiler, more as a time saver: Five Pebbles will not read pearls to you, not in this playthrough. You were attentive enough to notice that he can read pearls, but only other characters might get him to do so. He has too much disdain towards the survivor to not simply toss him out of the room. im saying this in case you were about to make the trek all the way to the top of pebbles just to show him a pearl and to save you the discovery that it was all for nothing anyway, your love and effort into this game is admirable, keep it up :)
