Flashbangs are likely rich in white phosphorus or a base metals, breaking the thin membrane exposes the innards to the wet air and makes the light the fact that the effect lingers might mean the fruit is granulated, like a citrus or pomegranate
The more i think about them the more the bubble fruits make sense. During dry phases they are protected by a hard shell that protects them from animals. Once the rain comes all the animals seek shelter. The fruit then absorbs the water and swells into a rather flexible looking orb. This orb could have the purpose of protecting the seed inside from the physical blunt force of the rain, allowing the plant to spread its seeds without being in much danger from either animals or the environment.
They make sense as purposed organisms, too. Water is heavy, and hydrated fruits take up a lot of space, not to mention the fact that drying things makes them last longer. Bubble fruit would be very easy to gather and transport in large quantities over long distances. They wouldn't necessarily taste flavourless, either, though they'd probably have a weird texture. This is definitely a good explanation of how their purposed adaptations would actually allow them to survive so long in Rain World's climate, and that may even have been taken into account in their purposed design as well; after all, if you want a plant product to be available in large quantities, it's got to be capable of growing in the first place and not get munched by wildlife before you can get to it.
The karma flower allowing you to "Contact yourself in another world"[Paraphrased] is the mechanism by which it protects your karma. Essentially you send a message of your run to a version of you that's asleep.
Rain World is a game not made for everyone, it can be punishing & boring at times, & other times it just doesn't feel very fun at all. But DAMN, once it hits you with one of those special moments the game will never leave your head, & you're gonna be left wondering "When will Rain World 2 come out" forever. It's understandable why so little people pay attention to this game, but that will never make it any less sad...
As someone who invested over 500 hours into this game and yet somehow never had the time to gather up all the lore pearls for myself, these lore videos were incredibly informative. With my subscription, I will watch your career with great interest.
Couldn’t bubble weed just be like those marine algae that hold themselves up with air bubbles? Thus the bubbles are either a vestigial trait from an aquatic ancestor or used when the water level rises.
In reference to the void worms and what they are, I think you're right to an extent. In the very end when you ascend yourself, you move towards a large glowing area. The view of the area is circular in shape and contains either other versions of yourself or other members of your species. In either case, perhaps this orb is in reality the basis of a worm, and once a creature ascends, it becomes said worm, the location of ascension being like an egg.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always interpreted the ascension as a metaphor for conceiving a child. The slugcats swimming towards an "egg" just resembles sperm a bit too much.
@@Deadflower019 It wouldnt make sense for ascension to symbolize conception when the whole point of the game is to break the cycle of death and rebirth, especially considering part of this "rebirth" is represented with the succession system in-game (killing enough of a certain kind of fauna will spawn harder versions of that fauna in the next cycle). The slugcats appear to be closer to ghosts than sperm and the ball of light is closer to depictions of a golden sun. If this were to be a metaphor of conception, then it would be closer to the alchemical creation of a perfect being than a literal child.
18:16, speaking of the weird devices, personally I always thought they were just oversized parts of Neuron cells, The first long arm appears to be just a long Axon with Myelin sheath and an axyon terminal at the end, which also implies that iterators move information via chemicals and I guess they are either directly feed to a receiver or picked up by a neuron fly to carry it further I dunno. The red arm appears to be an oversized Betz cell, in our bodies they are basically neuron cells that send movement information down our spinal cord, as for RW lore I guess they are the connection between neuron flies and some iterator spinal cord wich acts as a information highway. Great video anyways.
The things attached to the walls or floating arround FP are called "coral neurons" and "coral stems" in the files, the red things you can break by passing through are called "coral brains"
It's worth noting that iterators are even more biological than mechanical - things like "processing strata" of microbes are mentioned! And neuron flies are *probably* not mechanical, since you can get nutrition bubbles from eating them!
Amazing video! Also some info and theories on karma flowers (ok mostly slugcats). They are created whenever you die making me think slugcats were artificially created by iterators. They seem to be the only creatures (besides guardians) that can interact with karma in any way, and NSH just straight up makes hunter to help Moon. Also when moon is given the magenta pearl she says that slugcat is likely a descendent of a purposed creature. This makes me think they were created shortly after the rain started to clean out the pipes in filtration and drainage system. Oh and a cool thing is if you die in a hunter run after running out of cycles, if start a survivor or monk run afterwards and go to the room you died in a karma flower will be there. This comment probably belongs in the other video but it mentions karma flowers like twice so too bad. Also early congrats on hitting 1000 subs! Its gonna happen soon so why not say it now.
elaborating on@@kitsofthekats7040 response for people who don't understand; if you fail a run as hunter, who is canonically sick with something that limits their time in the world, and then play gourmand on the same save, you'll encounter a "hunter long legs" formed from their corpse in the same room hunter died in, which is both fascinating and really sad
Also I will note, karma flowers don’t just sprout wherever they feel like it. They sprout from the corpse of a creature that consumes it. That may be a mechanism similar to plants getting eaten and then pooped out to spread seeds.
i feel like the bubblefruit could actually make a ton of sense. they could be letting themselves dessicate on the stem, becoming hard and inedible, so that creatures will not eat them before theyve had the chance to move. Then, they rehydrate when the rains come in order to sweep them away, like you suggested. Once they're popped, i think the vulnerability is intentional--they want to get eaten by creatures further away from their birthplace so that those creatures will pass the seeds in a region very far from competition from their parent plant
Technically, Iterators should not be included in the fully-mechanical classification, since they are actually bio-mechanical. The living cells are what Five Pebbles attempted to tinker with so he could kill himself, and Moon's interruption let it spread rapidly and maliciously, becoming what is essentially cancer. This also ties into the nature of the soul in Rain World, something Moon mentions, though to be fair, her saying she felt "pain in her soul" could just be an expression, but I believe it isn't. The Ancients were all into the repeating cycle, and if they wanted to find a solution that would let all lesser beings ascend, the creations should also be made to feel the pain of reincarnating cycles so as to inform their work on finding a solution. While machines will die and stay dead as they have no soul, Iterators will persist even when killed, as their biological components, and perhaps their "soul," will live on. This also ties into Neuron Flies, which could very well count as food to the slugcat because they may have some nutritious biological component. I mean, if mushrooms don't provide nutrition but these things do, I think it's safe to assume they have some nutritious and biological component, a tie to the Ancient's beliefs, as realistically, something built to transfer information in something as big as an Iterator would be better suited being purely mechanical and not biological in any way.
20:10 No way neuron flies are fully mechanical. They must be mostly organic because they provide food to sluggcat. 5P looks like bio electronic hybrid being with is probably true to the other ones too.
Interesting thing I've noticed - from what I can tell, Pole Plants never appear in water naturally, and in fact seeing a half-submerged pole is usually enough to tell me that that pole is safe to climb on. On the other hand, Monster Kelp absolutely loves water, preferring to grow with its roots and stomach submerged.
I believe that monster kelp might be a more matured version of the pole plant, I found a safe area that I stayed for a couple of cycles while I figured out where to go next, it had a pole plant right outside the den and one day after waking up, the pole plant had turned into monster kelp, I may be wrong though
Worm grass scared the shit out of me, I was super early into the game so I thought it was just one of those things where plants will cling to you a little as you pass by, then I realized I couldn't move anymore, an dthen I got dragged into the ground and eaten.
I'm surprised to see your the first person to do this, the game is so in depth its tragic that it doesn't have more lore and creature breakdowns. Awesome videos man your doing the lords work
The iterators use bacteria for their functionality and thus they require a stable supply of clean water, its actually not purely a heat issue but instead without water their bacteria die and gunk up and also they lose their ability to do maintenance on themselves
I always thought Void Worms were largely misunderstood by the community and the characters in the world. I always saw them as carnivores that simply ate anything that fell into the void sea, similar to angler fish in the dark depths of the ocean. A lot of the void worms we see are near the area in the world where material is being melted and slipping into the void sea, meaning they're likely eating whatever is falling into the void. Where a lot of people interpret the ending as slug-cat being guided toward ascension, i always interpreted it as the void worm bringing the slug cat to a young void worm to be eaten, as the glow we swim toward is similar to the glow emitted by other void worms. The vision of a paradise in the light is merely a spiritual lure like that of an angler fish, and its why the survivor sees a tree with its family and why the monk sees his brother. Finally, i think the void worms eat more than just material, but they eat inter-dimensionally as well. It's why they are so large and why we see so many slug-cats in the end. They aren't just eating a single slug-cat, but they are eating every possible incarnation of the slug-cat, effectively ending their process of reincarnation which, for the ancients, might as well be ascension. The echos are probably half-eaten beings where their attachment to the world made it so many versions of them would swim away from whatever lure the void worms showed them, but the void bath messed them up. All of this is based more on the general themes of the game than anything else. Throughout the whole game we are effectively navigating an ecosystem where everything is eating everything else. It makes more sense for the ending to continue that theme than to abandon it for a simple "Look the big worm took you to heaven."
I like this theory and I've thought about it before, but If that is the case then why doesn't the void worm itself look like something you'd want it to be. I personally thought they were predators as I was swimming past them, which I believe was the intention, (perhaps like the final test of faith before heaven)then the devs surprise you by showing you that the void worm means no harm. It also could potentially be that the void worms eat the raw matter of the world while guiding the living to the depths.
the popcorn tree is likely based on a real plant called the Himalayan Balsam it explodes spreading its seeds when doing so. As pop corn treens spray seeds like bults out when hit this is what i think is happening.
Personally, I think the popcorn plant seeds are the little black bits we see flying off after we hit one. The reason I think this is that there's not much reason for the plant to explode if its seeds are propogated by eating what is left after the popping. What if the plant naturally spreads its seeds (what I think the black things are) through explosive propulsion? There's a lot of real-world plants that do so, so it's not unfounded.
me, who's never played the game before but watched a couple and have an insatiable hunger for playing it, and also found the first video like, 3 days ago: ohh more content
Karma flowers also show up near where you die, assuming you ate one before dying. Also, I think it is fair to say that worm grass is not a plant, but instead an animal, similar to something like an anemone or some of the other funky ocean creatures that behave in a vaguely similar manner. Same thing goes for pole plants and the monster kelp.
I believe that monster kelp might be a more matured version of the pole plant, I found a safe area that I stayed for a couple of cycles while I figured out where to go next, it had a pole plant right outside the den and one day after waking up, the pole plant had turned into monster kelp, I may be wrong though
My best guess with the flash bangs- is that the bioluminescence is formed by a small controlled chemical reaction- similar to a glowstick, it would store these chemicals in large quantities within itself and react them slowly to produce light. When thrown- whatever barrier separates the chemicals is broken- causing all the plants stored chemicals to react spontaneously in a huge flash of light over a few seconds. This would explain the difference between the idle and disturbed light intensities and why the flash isn’t instantaneous.
I always thought that void worms Were remnants that couldn't fully ascend. They had the ability to reach a higher plane of existence as an essentially immortal creature, yet didn't quite have the karma they needed to fully leave this world behind. Stuck between the two planes, they guide others to full ascension. Either just because they are nice or because they donr want others to suffer the same fate?
I love the theory that the void worms are the ancients who ascended! It's a fascinating idea and would be really cool that they're still technically around after all this time has passed. Just vibing in the ominous but oddly comforting void sea.
At first I thought the garbage worms were harmless... Lets just say I was surprised when one proceeded to grab and drown my trusting ass by holding me underwater with the help of leeches.
What about the "ghosts" that become visible after you eat a neuron and live in bubbles here and there in the world? I always wondered if those are the manifestations of the ancients' memories.
I'm not a chemistry student just a nerd but potassium nitrate and sugar would create the effect of the flash bang plant. this reaction is literally called sugar rocket fuel. If you and alkanes gases like methane , propane, butane or ethane you would get blue flams and Light. so all you would need to make a blue flash is water and air. It is like a planet created to fram rocket fuel or other reactive gasses.
I would think the bubble fruit is an adaptation to the constant rain. It grows over the course of a cycle having a hard shell to prevent them from being eaten but when it rains and floods they become bouyant and float on the water to someplace else, usually ending up near a body of water that they found the currents of. That would mean that they could travel all the way from one side of the map to the other theoretically.
suddenly having deep musings about bubble fruit. i JUST thought of this, but maybe bubble fruit's oddities could be explained as being a creation of the Ancients? if purposed organisms were regularly created then maybe foods were too, wide varieties of plants or animals that grew up well in captivity. even though the only known food source of the Ancients was 'Nectar' (and gravel i guess lol), i highly doubt that all of them would eat only one thing, no matter how superior it was in nutrients or whatever!! im imagining bubble fruits being traded for/purchased at some sort of market, popped ones ready to eat floating in a crystal clear pool of water, while younger plants grow in the background................. or, like, y'know those spongy products for kids that grow into animals when exposed to water? idk reminds me of that too. bubble fruit are fun to pop and could totally be sold to kids. like slugcats likely descended from purposed organisms designed to clean pipes, fast-growing bubble fruits may have survived the disappearance of their caretakers simply because of their fast reproduction, and hardy roots that produce multiple fruits over one life cycle. and like the coconut example, the fruits slowly spread from being able to float through floods. or perhaps like the hcs about popcorn plants, enough of the bubble fruit seed remains in its consumers' digestive system to be transported and eventually take root when deposited elsewhere. maybe even a popped bubble fruit shell grows better than the protected seed! exposed, it could better soak up nutrients... don't people who grow plants injure the seeds a little to help them grow or am i making that up? whatever whatever i need to go to bed musings over peace o/
To further connect the Void Worms to the Ancients, the Worms' heads appear to be quite similar to those of the Iterators. It is reasonable to presume that the Iterators' puppets' unique body shape was based on that of the Ancients, therefore, the connection of the head would be an easy visual metaphor for communicating that to the player.
I’m late to this video but I always imagined the reason slime mould would glow is so that organisms would either go investigate or eat it, allowing it to spread even further Just my two cents
Spider probably die from flash bangs not from brain fry, as then the stabby birds would do the same, but from fear, as they are afraid of the light, not sensitive to it. Things can die from fear in the real world, so it's a true possibility.
Cans: Doesnt lttm refer to the homes of several purposed organisms as cans? I thought the shelters were slugcat cans, and that's why they close only when occupied by a slugcat. Other creatures have their own cans and we can't see or interact with them since we're not the right species.
@@polytanksan5761 They are cans too. I read it as a way for the iterators to be bitter and angry at the ancients. 'Ah yes me with the brain the size of a planet, trapped in a can while this pipe cleaner is free to roam' no wonder 5p zaps you so easily
I tought aswell about the theory that the void worms are indeed ancients that succeded to ascend, you can see that the void worms heads resembles the iterator heads, it coud mean that under the gold bullshit the ancients wear they have a head similar to theese two creatures(Iterators and void worms) and i just want to take that as proof of it. (Sorry for the englishn't)
Y'know... Bubblefruit and corn pods kind of have a lot in common! They both pop when exposed to the elements. While conceptually similar to chia seeds, which make congealed water bubbles around themselves when wet, chia seeds definitely don't explode like bubblefruits do. Bubblefruits pop in contact with water and corn pods pop in contact with air, their seeds are tough and highly pressurized which become compromised in certain environmental conditions. The kernels of both are very small and probably still tough, which, as this video says, allows them to pass through the fruits' consumers unharmed (if bubblefruits are only supposed to pop when it rains, why do they only grow around water sources? Multiple methods of transmission is advantageous) Kiwis, cherries, and pomegranates are real examples of this, avoiding swallowing the seeds is not rewarding. Wheel flowers are fascinating to me as a symbol. I know that a lot of art portrays them as having 5 petals, but the in-game model seems to show 4. That probably means that not only is the max karma symbol a 2d representation of a wheel flower, but also that the process of getting to max karma goes through the flower's various stages of bloom! When you're maxed on karma, anyways. Dunno about the lower karmas you get from echoes. They're awfully strange looking for a flower; easily eaten, transparent, golden and luminescent... Perhaps they aren't flowers at all, and the lesser karma symbols are showing its life-death cycles until the final stage at X. Unrelated, but I like how it's implied that scavengers value wheel flowers for the same reason as mushrooms. Heh! Pole plants are like... a dry sundew plant... I guess. Like if a sundew plant and a venus fly trap got combined, it'd make something like a pole plant. I doubt that they, monster kelp, or monster grass have stomachs underground. Instead I figure that they keep rotting bodies buried among their roots to leech the nutrients out over time. It's not like there are any plants in real life that bring their prey underground though, so you still might be right. Carnivory in plants appears when vital nutrients are lacking in the environment, which forces them to rely on either their own self-made digestive enzymes, or fungus/bacteria. When there isn't enough food, you either get smaller, or eat bigger. Red monster grass may not be a sign that the ground naturally has many nutrients... Instead their difference is indicative of being highly successful. Vultures, scavengers, centipedes, lizards, tripped rain deer - Farm Arrays has a LOT of big prey items at the surfaces exposed to open sky. Outskirts, less ruined parts of Farm Arrays, and other places pretty much just have lizards and maybe the occasional noodlefly. I wonder if guardians are powered by void fluid, which given their position would make it so they can run literally until Rain World's planet is destroyed. I adore this topic, and the way you cover it is entertaining. It might be a bit boring, but are you interested in making a video covering background elements in rain world? The tiny bugs and fish (?) that you can't do anything to, trees and ferns seen in farm arrays and sky islands, how about those weird coral things that seem like they can grow absolutely anywhere just with differing colors? The hanging SLIME that covers every ceiling somehow. Discerning the purposes of some Ancient machinery, I dunno. If you went full on 'little archaeologist' I would absolutely watch it.
In reference to the karma flower, I have a personal theory about the things moon said about them, it's my belief that when a slugcat dies it's semi canonical as the slugcat can remember where it died and the areas around it, I believe these are "visions" or alternate world copies of the slugcat in question, the karma flower strengthens the connection and basically gives you a buffer against death mechanically that could represent the slugcat reviving a warning of some sort
I absolutely adore and love your videos keep up the good work im preety sure that you Will get to 1 mil if you try your DAMN Hardest(which you are) i hope you have a nice day
I like how everything has gone to shit and the majority of the intelligent life is trying to die. Meanwhile there's just a massive worm rave going on in the void sea
In real life a slime mold isn’t a colony but one huge ass cell, thought it has enough nuclei that no matter how fine you cut it up it will just make more slime molds. It’s also not a fungus
I like to imagine that the void worms are just animals that had evolved to live all the way down there and that they're the only entirely natural species left in the setting.
The fact you used the GLT soundtrack is great... At first I didn't pick up on it, but then I realized it was from GLT and thought "Y'know, it kinda fits here too" Also, I tried searching for GLT or Girls Last Tour in here seeing if anyone commented on it... but didn't find anything. I can't be the first to pick up on this... almost 2 years later
I'm here a year late, but according to my high-school-level chemistry, that kind of popping, explosive reaction looks more like Sodium+Water than Sulfur. Don't get me wrong, Sulfur is a nasty chemical, but it doesn't really explode like that, at least to my knowledge. Another option would be Phosphorus compounds, which are known for burning at room temperature, but those don't really expand, they just kinda poof.
I love the background music you used most of the time in this video (It is from an anime called Girl’s Last Tour for the one who don’t know it. Beautiful anime btw.). I am always happy to see or meet other people who know the beauty that this music is from. Thank you for making my day a bit better with this. And interesting video btw. Was very much enjoying watching it. Also if I might be a bit late with one year already having past away.
On one of your other vids i wholeheartedly agree with your scorn at the shiddy pronouncement of "artificer" but if you're gonna roll like that we have to be fair across the board and call out your way of saying "Iterator". Its an IT-er-ray-tor, not an EYE-ter-ray-tor. An iterator is something that makes iterations [IT-er-ray-shunz] of things, which for those not knowing are versions, updates, mods and/or improvements of things they or something else has already built. I live your vids n have just subbed, but just as "artificer" got stuck in your craw, "Iterator" got stuck in mine. Now that I've got that case of "that fkn guy" outta my system, I'll say that I've really enjoyed your vids. Informative, deprecatingly funny and have convinced me to spend money i shouldn't on a game i was previously fence sitting on... To the point I'm now genuinely unsure whether to begin Elden Ring or Rain World 1st! So yeah, umm... thanks for the entertainment and F#@k you for the crippling indecision this choice has now struck me with! I look forward to further ITERATIONS of your work ;)
Batflies might also just be attracted to batnip for no particular reason, like how catnip is appealing to most cats in spite of it bringing no benefit to the plant itself.
Monster kelp has an interesting thing - It seems to have a very bad movement based vision. If you move very slowly next to it you can pass past it without it ever noticing you.
In one of the pearl logs I believe it is mentioned that when the ancients tried to go down into the void sea they never came back, either by being dissolved or by some other mysterious force. I believe that Void Worms are said mysterious force.
the bubble weed stores air in bubbles under their leaves to survive the long periods of time during the rain not to escape predators' but its a nice guess it based after the real life water plant water lettuce that stores air bubbles under its leaves to float it stores the air to survive form being drowned in drainage system and shoreline
i think the bubbleweeds supposed stench not affecting the slugcat might make sense, i heard a theory that the slugcats ancestors were a purposed life form that cleaned pipes, kinda wierd considering everything moves through pipes and tunnels at the same rate but eh, atleast it would explain them not bieng able to smell bubbleweeds if you believe it
Whoa whoa whoa something might have just clicked in my head. While what moon describes from the white pearl does sound like a garbage worm I think there’s a better candidate. Yes garbage worms have a long tubular body but she also says. “Long tubular body and single eye-mouth” eye-mouth huh? This reminds me a lot more of the worm grass. Much more tubular creatures that have what looks like one single eye that it also uses to grab onto you like a mouth. Perhaps the worm grass are these automatas descendants. It feels more likely than the two eyed slender garbage worms.

Flashbangs are likely rich in white phosphorus or a base metals, breaking the thin membrane exposes the innards to the wet air and makes the light

It could be a combination of magnesium and cesium as magnesium burns with a brilliant white light, and cesium would add the blue aspect to the flame.
What Theodore above me said, but with potassium in the mix (which combusts in oxygen, say once the pod is cracked).
I was also thinking about phosphorus

Couldn’t bubble weed just be like those marine algae that hold themselves up with air bubbles? Thus the bubbles are either a vestigial trait from an aquatic ancestor or used when the water level rises.
Also being air filled would dissuade predation, as they won't have a lot of nurishment for their size and difficulty eating

Though, perhaps Slugcats are capable of digesting inorganic matter
I personally think worm grass is probably a animal specifically a type of tube worm that's adapted to live on land
if the Void Worms are ascended ancients it would explain why Echoes look like fucked up half-worms
Amazing video! Also some info and theories on karma flowers (ok mostly slugcats). They are created whenever you die making me think slugcats were artificially created by iterators. They seem to be the only creatures (besides guardians) that can interact with karma in any way, and NSH just straight up makes hunter to help Moon. Also when moon is given the magenta pearl she says that slugcat is likely a descendent of a purposed creature. This makes me think they were created shortly after the rain started to clean out the pipes in filtration and drainage system. Oh and a cool thing is if you die in a hunter run after running out of cycles, if start a survivor or monk run afterwards and go to the room you died in a karma flower will be there.
This comment probably belongs in the other video but it mentions karma flowers like twice so too bad.
Also early congrats on hitting 1000 subs! Its gonna happen soon so why not say it now.
ive never played this game but the karma flower hunter death thing is super cool
Scavengers also seem to have karma, as Artificer if you want to go past karma gates you can kill a scavenger and use their karma to get past it.
hunter also becomes a rot in gourmand
elaborating on@@kitsofthekats7040 response for people who don't understand; if you fail a run as hunter, who is canonically sick with something that limits their time in the world, and then play gourmand on the same save, you'll encounter a "hunter long legs" formed from their corpse in the same room hunter died in, which is both fascinating and really sad
Also I will note, karma flowers don’t just sprout wherever they feel like it. They sprout from the corpse of a creature that consumes it. That may be a mechanism similar to plants getting eaten and then pooped out to spread seeds.
I feel like the ancients' thought process when making all these explosive plants was "Bombs, bombs, bombs? You want it, it's yours my friend!".
that sounds like an ad they would make for them like they did with the void fluid
i feel like the bubblefruit could actually make a ton of sense. they could be letting themselves dessicate on the stem, becoming hard and inedible, so that creatures will not eat them before theyve had the chance to move. Then, they rehydrate when the rains come in order to sweep them away, like you suggested. Once they're popped, i think the vulnerability is intentional--they want to get eaten by creatures further away from their birthplace so that those creatures will pass the seeds in a region very far from competition from their parent plant
Technically, Iterators should not be included in the fully-mechanical classification, since they are actually bio-mechanical. The living cells are what Five Pebbles attempted to tinker with so he could kill himself, and Moon's interruption let it spread rapidly and maliciously, becoming what is essentially cancer.
This also ties into the nature of the soul in Rain World, something Moon mentions, though to be fair, her saying she felt "pain in her soul" could just be an expression, but I believe it isn't. The Ancients were all into the repeating cycle, and if they wanted to find a solution that would let all lesser beings ascend, the creations should also be made to feel the pain of reincarnating cycles so as to inform their work on finding a solution. While machines will die and stay dead as they have no soul, Iterators will persist even when killed, as their biological components, and perhaps their "soul," will live on.
This also ties into Neuron Flies, which could very well count as food to the slugcat because they may have some nutritious biological component. I mean, if mushrooms don't provide nutrition but these things do, I think it's safe to assume they have some nutritious and biological component, a tie to the Ancient's beliefs, as realistically, something built to transfer information in something as big as an Iterator would be better suited being purely mechanical and not biological in any way.
20:10 No way neuron flies are fully mechanical. They must be mostly organic because they provide food to sluggcat. 5P looks like bio electronic hybrid being with is probably true to the other ones too.
Interesting thing I've noticed - from what I can tell, Pole Plants never appear in water naturally, and in fact seeing a half-submerged pole is usually enough to tell me that that pole is safe to climb on. On the other hand, Monster Kelp absolutely loves water, preferring to grow with its roots and stomach submerged.
I believe that monster kelp might be a more matured version of the pole plant, I found a safe area that I stayed for a couple of cycles while I figured out where to go next, it had a pole plant right outside the den and one day after waking up, the pole plant had turned into monster kelp, I may be wrong though
Worm grass scared the shit out of me, I was super early into the game so I thought it was just one of those things where plants will cling to you a little as you pass by, then I realized I couldn't move anymore, an dthen I got dragged into the ground and eaten.
I'm surprised to see your the first person to do this, the game is so in depth its tragic that it doesn't have more lore and creature breakdowns. Awesome videos man your doing the lords work
The iterators use bacteria for their functionality and thus they require a stable supply of clean water, its actually not purely a heat issue but instead without water their bacteria die and gunk up and also they lose their ability to do maintenance on themselves
25:08 Echoes have gold tendrils similar to the void worms' tendrils, though only two of them. This could be a bit of evidence to this theory
I always thought Void Worms were largely misunderstood by the community and the characters in the world. I always saw them as carnivores that simply ate anything that fell into the void sea, similar to angler fish in the dark depths of the ocean. A lot of the void worms we see are near the area in the world where material is being melted and slipping into the void sea, meaning they're likely eating whatever is falling into the void.
Where a lot of people interpret the ending as slug-cat being guided toward ascension, i always interpreted it as the void worm bringing the slug cat to a young void worm to be eaten, as the glow we swim toward is similar to the glow emitted by other void worms. The vision of a paradise in the light is merely a spiritual lure like that of an angler fish, and its why the survivor sees a tree with its family and why the monk sees his brother.
Finally, i think the void worms eat more than just material, but they eat inter-dimensionally as well. It's why they are so large and why we see so many slug-cats in the end. They aren't just eating a single slug-cat, but they are eating every possible incarnation of the slug-cat, effectively ending their process of reincarnation which, for the ancients, might as well be ascension.
The echos are probably half-eaten beings where their attachment to the world made it so many versions of them would swim away from whatever lure the void worms showed them, but the void bath messed them up.
All of this is based more on the general themes of the game than anything else. Throughout the whole game we are effectively navigating an ecosystem where everything is eating everything else. It makes more sense for the ending to continue that theme than to abandon it for a simple "Look the big worm took you to heaven."
Holy shit that actually makes since
Well, that big worm DID bring you to heaven, just in a violent, eating way.
That is dark.
I like this theory and I've thought about it before, but If that is the case then why doesn't the void worm itself look like something you'd want it to be. I personally thought they were predators as I was swimming past them, which I believe was the intention, (perhaps like the final test of faith before heaven)then the devs surprise you by showing you that the void worm means no harm. It also could potentially be that the void worms eat the raw matter of the world while guiding the living to the depths.
kool
for the cherry bomb, maybe there is hard seeds inside of the fruit that when it explode it spread them like the dynamite tree in real life
the popcorn tree is likely based on a real plant called the Himalayan Balsam it explodes spreading its seeds when doing so. As pop corn treens spray seeds like bults out when hit this is what i think is happening.
Personally, I think the popcorn plant seeds are the little black bits we see flying off after we hit one. The reason I think this is that there's not much reason for the plant to explode if its seeds are propogated by eating what is left after the popping.
What if the plant naturally spreads its seeds (what I think the black things are) through explosive propulsion? There's a lot of real-world plants that do so, so it's not unfounded.
Learning about every creature makes me REALLY want a creative mode to just do whatever
I wish I could just keep the entire game world running on one screen and zoom in anywhere to watch shıt killing eachother and evolving
@@jeffbrownstain SAFARI MODEEE! :D
@@theharvinator Downpour wasn't out when I made this comment!
I watched the entire playthrough during stream though!
@@jeffbrownstain i know that it wasnt out i was just saying in case you didnt know, glad you know!
me, who's never played the game before but watched a couple and have an insatiable hunger for playing it, and also found the first video like, 3 days ago: ohh more content
Karma flowers also show up near where you die, assuming you ate one before dying.
Also, I think it is fair to say that worm grass is not a plant, but instead an animal, similar to something like an anemone or some of the other funky ocean creatures that behave in a vaguely similar manner. Same thing goes for pole plants and the monster kelp.
Theoretically if you think about it Rain Worlds planet must have very high oxygen levels to have Bugs that big
i always thought that monster kelp arent necessarily an evolved form of pole plant but rather a pole plant that has been bloated by the water
but if you "kill" pole plants enough monster kelp takes it's place, which can make paths nearly impassable
@@Stiathirs You can throw spears at monster kelp, or feed them to distract them, or move VERY slowly so that it doesn't notice you.
@@justafurrywithinternet317 That's fair. Still hate monster kelp with a passion.
I believe that monster kelp might be a more matured version of the pole plant, I found a safe area that I stayed for a couple of cycles while I figured out where to go next, it had a pole plant right outside the den and one day after waking up, the pole plant had turned into monster kelp, I may be wrong though
My best guess with the flash bangs- is that the bioluminescence is formed by a small controlled chemical reaction- similar to a glowstick, it would store these chemicals in large quantities within itself and react them slowly to produce light. When thrown- whatever barrier separates the chemicals is broken- causing all the plants stored chemicals to react spontaneously in a huge flash of light over a few seconds. This would explain the difference between the idle and disturbed light intensities and why the flash isn’t instantaneous.
I always thought that void worms Were remnants that couldn't fully ascend. They had the ability to reach a higher plane of existence as an essentially immortal creature, yet didn't quite have the karma they needed to fully leave this world behind. Stuck between the two planes, they guide others to full ascension. Either just because they are nice or because they donr want others to suffer the same fate?
I love the theory that the void worms are the ancients who ascended! It's a fascinating idea and would be really cool that they're still technically around after all this time has passed. Just vibing in the ominous but oddly comforting void sea.
I stayed up all night and I happened to be here 9 minutes later, neat.
At first I thought the garbage worms were harmless... Lets just say I was surprised when one proceeded to grab and drown my trusting ass by holding me underwater with the help of leeches.
What about the "ghosts" that become visible after you eat a neuron and live in bubbles here and there in the world? I always wondered if those are the manifestations of the ancients' memories.
They're called the void spawn, and I didn't have enough to say about them to include them, they appear even less real than the ancients.
@@Daszombes you mean the echoes?
@@johncronk8867 yes the echoes
I'm not a chemistry student just a nerd but potassium nitrate and sugar would create the effect of the flash bang plant. this reaction is literally called sugar rocket fuel. If you and alkanes gases like methane , propane, butane or ethane you would get blue flams and Light. so all you would need to make a blue flash is water and air. It is like a planet created to fram rocket fuel or other reactive gasses.
I would think the bubble fruit is an adaptation to the constant rain. It grows over the course of a cycle having a hard shell to prevent them from being eaten but when it rains and floods they become bouyant and float on the water to someplace else, usually ending up near a body of water that they found the currents of. That would mean that they could travel all the way from one side of the map to the other theoretically.
suddenly having deep musings about bubble fruit.
i JUST thought of this, but maybe bubble fruit's oddities could be explained as being a creation of the Ancients?
if purposed organisms were regularly created then maybe foods were too, wide varieties of plants or animals that grew up well in captivity. even though the only known food source of the Ancients was 'Nectar' (and gravel i guess lol), i highly doubt that all of them would eat only one thing, no matter how superior it was in nutrients or whatever!!
im imagining bubble fruits being traded for/purchased at some sort of market, popped ones ready to eat floating in a crystal clear pool of water, while younger plants grow in the background.................
or, like, y'know those spongy products for kids that grow into animals when exposed to water? idk reminds me of that too. bubble fruit are fun to pop and could totally be sold to kids.
like slugcats likely descended from purposed organisms designed to clean pipes, fast-growing bubble fruits may have survived the disappearance of their caretakers simply because of their fast reproduction, and hardy roots that produce multiple fruits over one life cycle. and like the coconut example, the fruits slowly spread from being able to float through floods. or perhaps like the hcs about popcorn plants, enough of the bubble fruit seed remains in its consumers' digestive system to be transported and eventually take root when deposited elsewhere.
maybe even a popped bubble fruit shell grows better than the protected seed! exposed, it could better soak up nutrients... don't people who grow plants injure the seeds a little to help them grow or am i making that up?
whatever whatever i need to go to bed musings over peace o/
To further connect the Void Worms to the Ancients, the Worms' heads appear to be quite similar to those of the Iterators. It is reasonable to presume that the Iterators' puppets' unique body shape was based on that of the Ancients, therefore, the connection of the head would be an easy visual metaphor for communicating that to the player.
I’m late to this video but I always imagined the reason slime mould would glow is so that organisms would either go investigate or eat it, allowing it to spread even further
Just my two cents
heck yeah thanks for the vids broski, they're extremely entertaining and interesting
the bubble weed most likely evolved the air capsuels as a survival mechanism for when the sewers flooded so they can survive under the water
Spider probably die from flash bangs not from brain fry, as then the stabby birds would do the same, but from fear, as they are afraid of the light, not sensitive to it. Things can die from fear in the real world, so it's a true possibility.
Just found your channel with the video cataloging the wildlife yesterday so this is a welcome surprise!
Cans:
Doesnt lttm refer to the homes of several purposed organisms as cans?
I thought the shelters were slugcat cans, and that's why they close only when occupied by a slugcat. Other creatures have their own cans and we can't see or interact with them since we're not the right species.
I thought cans were the name for the iterator superstructures
@@polytanksan5761 They are cans too. I read it as a way for the iterators to be bitter and angry at the ancients. 'Ah yes me with the brain the size of a planet, trapped in a can while this pipe cleaner is free to roam' no wonder 5p zaps you so easily
@@MrNoobed makes sense because I don't even think the superstructures are cylindrical like a can I think their square shaped
I tought aswell about the theory that the void worms are indeed ancients that succeded to ascend, you can see that the void worms heads resembles the iterator heads, it coud mean that under the gold bullshit the ancients wear they have a head similar to theese two creatures(Iterators and void worms) and i just want to take that as proof of it. (Sorry for the englishn't)
Cool video and yes streams and everything else would be fun to see, also waiting on that 1k special
Y'know... Bubblefruit and corn pods kind of have a lot in common! They both pop when exposed to the elements. While conceptually similar to chia seeds, which make congealed water bubbles around themselves when wet, chia seeds definitely don't explode like bubblefruits do. Bubblefruits pop in contact with water and corn pods pop in contact with air, their seeds are tough and highly pressurized which become compromised in certain environmental conditions. The kernels of both are very small and probably still tough, which, as this video says, allows them to pass through the fruits' consumers unharmed (if bubblefruits are only supposed to pop when it rains, why do they only grow around water sources? Multiple methods of transmission is advantageous) Kiwis, cherries, and pomegranates are real examples of this, avoiding swallowing the seeds is not rewarding.
Wheel flowers are fascinating to me as a symbol. I know that a lot of art portrays them as having 5 petals, but the in-game model seems to show 4. That probably means that not only is the max karma symbol a 2d representation of a wheel flower, but also that the process of getting to max karma goes through the flower's various stages of bloom! When you're maxed on karma, anyways. Dunno about the lower karmas you get from echoes. They're awfully strange looking for a flower; easily eaten, transparent, golden and luminescent... Perhaps they aren't flowers at all, and the lesser karma symbols are showing its life-death cycles until the final stage at X. Unrelated, but I like how it's implied that scavengers value wheel flowers for the same reason as mushrooms. Heh!
Pole plants are like... a dry sundew plant... I guess. Like if a sundew plant and a venus fly trap got combined, it'd make something like a pole plant. I doubt that they, monster kelp, or monster grass have stomachs underground. Instead I figure that they keep rotting bodies buried among their roots to leech the nutrients out over time. It's not like there are any plants in real life that bring their prey underground though, so you still might be right. Carnivory in plants appears when vital nutrients are lacking in the environment, which forces them to rely on either their own self-made digestive enzymes, or fungus/bacteria. When there isn't enough food, you either get smaller, or eat bigger. Red monster grass may not be a sign that the ground naturally has many nutrients... Instead their difference is indicative of being highly successful. Vultures, scavengers, centipedes, lizards, tripped rain deer - Farm Arrays has a LOT of big prey items at the surfaces exposed to open sky. Outskirts, less ruined parts of Farm Arrays, and other places pretty much just have lizards and maybe the occasional noodlefly.
I wonder if guardians are powered by void fluid, which given their position would make it so they can run literally until Rain World's planet is destroyed.
I adore this topic, and the way you cover it is entertaining. It might be a bit boring, but are you interested in making a video covering background elements in rain world? The tiny bugs and fish (?) that you can't do anything to, trees and ferns seen in farm arrays and sky islands, how about those weird coral things that seem like they can grow absolutely anywhere just with differing colors? The hanging SLIME that covers every ceiling somehow. Discerning the purposes of some Ancient machinery, I dunno. If you went full on 'little archaeologist' I would absolutely watch it.
Slime molds move slowly so they appear to be stationary irl. These slime molds seem to be about the same as real life.
Noodle flies might eat pop plants since they can use their mouth to open them
this was a really cool video! I hope you keep making more like this!
In reference to the karma flower, I have a personal theory about the things moon said about them, it's my belief that when a slugcat dies it's semi canonical as the slugcat can remember where it died and the areas around it, I believe these are "visions" or alternate world copies of the slugcat in question, the karma flower strengthens the connection and basically gives you a buffer against death mechanically that could represent the slugcat reviving a warning of some sort
When the cycle begins again, you are reborn & remember what happened to you.
Fun fact the Void worm texture is made corn
Fun fact the corn texture is made of pixels
I absolutely adore and love your videos keep up the good work im preety sure that you Will get to 1 mil if you try your DAMN Hardest(which you are) i hope you have a nice day
I like how everything has gone to shit and the majority of the intelligent life is trying to die. Meanwhile there's just a massive worm rave going on in the void sea
bruh why was i only allowed to find this channel today
damn dude idk you should totally remedy the other people that are in your position by sharing my videos with them I think that would be funny ahaha
@@Daszombes GOOD IDEA
Amazing video with only a few flaws imo, but now i'm just sad there isn't gonna be a part 3
daszombes 1 year later: allow me to introduce myself
In real life a slime mold isn’t a colony but one huge ass cell, thought it has enough nuclei that no matter how fine you cut it up it will just make more slime molds. It’s also not a fungus
Just finished watching the fauna video, and this one pops up
I'm happy
I like to imagine that the void worms are just animals that had evolved to live all the way down there and that they're the only entirely natural species left in the setting.
Sporepuffs can be fed to rain deer, and exploding one also attracts rain deer.
Holy shit he sounds so different from the fauna video
The fact you used the GLT soundtrack is great... At first I didn't pick up on it, but then I realized it was from GLT and thought "Y'know, it kinda fits here too"
Also, I tried searching for GLT or Girls Last Tour in here seeing if anyone commented on it... but didn't find anything. I can't be the first to pick up on this... almost 2 years later
I'm just happy to know I'm not the only one who loves this game
The new editable mold in the DLC that also smells terrible does imply that slugcats are scent-tolerant...
I'm here a year late, but according to my high-school-level chemistry, that kind of popping, explosive reaction looks more like Sodium+Water than Sulfur. Don't get me wrong, Sulfur is a nasty chemical, but it doesn't really explode like that, at least to my knowledge. Another option would be Phosphorus compounds, which are known for burning at room temperature, but those don't really expand, they just kinda poof.
we need the updated version for all the downpour flora and fauna!
PART TWO HAS COME I AM SHAKING ANd mashing the like button
Keep up ur good work! rlly enjoy ur vids :3
Me when i hear "batnip": catnip for batflys
I love the background music you used most of the time in this video (It is from an anime called Girl’s Last Tour for the one who don’t know it. Beautiful anime btw.). I am always happy to see or meet other people who know the beauty that this music is from. Thank you for making my day a bit better with this. And interesting video btw. Was very much enjoying watching it. Also if I might be a bit late with one year already having past away.
0:00 “hello again. Its me. …. The guy”
I laughed at that intro way more than I should have XD
I love the design that most things that are really deadly are red.
On one of your other vids i wholeheartedly agree with your scorn at the shiddy pronouncement of "artificer" but if you're gonna roll like that we have to be fair across the board and call out your way of saying "Iterator". Its an IT-er-ray-tor, not an EYE-ter-ray-tor. An iterator is something that makes iterations [IT-er-ray-shunz] of things, which for those not knowing are versions, updates, mods and/or improvements of things they or something else has already built. I live your vids n have just subbed, but just as "artificer" got stuck in your craw, "Iterator" got stuck in mine. Now that I've got that case of "that fkn guy" outta my system, I'll say that I've really enjoyed your vids. Informative, deprecatingly funny and have convinced me to spend money i shouldn't on a game i was previously fence sitting on... To the point I'm now genuinely unsure whether to begin Elden Ring or Rain World 1st! So yeah, umm... thanks for the entertainment and F#@k you for the crippling indecision this choice has now struck me with! I look forward to further ITERATIONS of your work ;)
Lovely lore dumps, I love it.
The popcorn plant on the portrait of the video makes it look like the karma guardian has a mustache, and now you can’t not see it
Aren't iterators semibiological? I Thought 5P ended up editing his genetic code and thus creating the rot?
Yeah they are
Plus the rot seems to be some kind of cancer so 5p would probably have to be somewhat organic to get it
6:03. Basically you go to another timeline if you die.
Batflies might also just be attracted to batnip for no particular reason, like how catnip is appealing to most cats in spite of it bringing no benefit to the plant itself.
Love this little series, rainworld has such an interesting environment.
4:05 *D R U G S*
Monster kelp has an interesting thing - It seems to have a very bad movement based vision. If you move very slowly next to it you can pass past it without it ever noticing you.
In one of the pearl logs I believe it is mentioned that when the ancients tried to go down into the void sea they never came back, either by being dissolved or by some other mysterious force. I believe that Void Worms are said mysterious force.
THE MAN ITSELF IS HERE
the bubble weed stores air in bubbles under their leaves to survive the long periods of time during the rain not to escape predators' but its a nice guess it based after the real life water plant water lettuce that stores air bubbles under its leaves to float it stores the air to survive form being drowned in drainage system and shoreline
“lore dumping robo cripple” is the only way to refer to LTTM now
'Lore dumping robo cripple'
WHY YOU GOTTA DO MOON LIKE THAT-
When you throw a bubbleweed, it floats up. So maybe it's like a dandelion, and the bubbles are seeds.
i think the bubbleweeds supposed stench not affecting the slugcat might make sense, i heard a theory that the slugcats ancestors were a purposed life form that cleaned pipes, kinda wierd considering everything moves through pipes and tunnels at the same rate but eh, atleast it would explain them not bieng able to smell bubbleweeds if you believe it
Eating Mac & cheese while watching this adds to the experience
acutally really good videos, thanks
Fun fact: you can stand on top(literally on tip) of the pole plant and it will ignore you
Goddam man your Rain World videos are great
I watched a video with the creators, they talked about the animation and such but mentioned worm grass is just a bunch of actual worms
"ight one sec"
*buys a controller*
*Gets to the credits"
"ight what's this video all about?"
Whoa whoa whoa something might have just clicked in my head.
While what moon describes from the white pearl does sound like a garbage worm I think there’s a better candidate.
Yes garbage worms have a long tubular body but she also says.
“Long tubular body and single eye-mouth” eye-mouth huh?
This reminds me a lot more of the worm grass. Much more tubular creatures that have what looks like one single eye that it also uses to grab onto you like a mouth.
Perhaps the worm grass are these automatas descendants. It feels more likely than the two eyed slender garbage worms.
