Yeah, I checked nearly every spot in the first few levels, only to realize in Alterna, that the collectibles are in the hub world, not the levels. But honestly, I think it’s a nice change.
I know he won't see this but it was explained why the ink was sparkly in Splatoon 2 hero mode Since Callie was with the Octarians, she added glitter to their ink and decorated the place with stickers and banners and stuff. It's in one of the Sunken Scrolls there, actually.
I always thought that it was because the ink in hero mode was real and could actually kill other inklings and octolings while in online mode it was fake ink that could send you back to spawn but wouldn’t kill you
the reason little buddy glows when you throw him is because he can distract enemies. you can throw him to get octosnipers and stuff to focus on him instead of you
To answer your question Yes you would still be an Octoling for the story Also congrats you are one of the few people I've seen play story and see the OG Agent 3 drawing and actually edit it a bit
Same, not spoiling, but that big finale gave me such goosebumps, glad I didn’t die during it. Currently in the midst of the final step of 100% completion.
The targets on items are just to let you know that they're there. It pops up when you get close enough, so you can see it through walls if you still get close enough
In case anyone was wondering, yes, you do stay as an Octo in story mode, literally screamed "Rude!" at Cuttlefish when he started going off about the octarians. 😂 Hopefully this helps me get through a few stages I'm stuck on 😭
I can’t wait to see your reactions to everything. Bosses and just plain old levels + stuff that happens. (Vague as possible to avoid spoilers) this is really something everyone ought to be able to experience spoiler-free as I did- it’s so worth it to have avoided the spoilers
19:59 It was implied that Callie was behind the sparkly ink, in the sunken scrolls she wrote that she convinced the Octarians to spice up their base with stickers, tape, paint, and glitter!
I know Jaymoji won’t see this but yes you do stay an octo for the story mode. I’d assume you’re fighting octarians bc these guys are similar to the sanitised octarians in octo expansion.
When you have done everything in story mode, i mean EVERYTHING, you can feel their excitement for the ending. (I finished story mode with all weapons used as well as a secret too.) But have fun too.
As much as I love exploration in games, I was honestly relieved when I caught on to the fact that the levels don't have the Sunken Scrolls in them. It allowed me to actually enjoy all the levels instead of constantly worrying about finding a scroll.
I didn't concern myself with finding them. It was more like "if I find them, I find them.", especially if I come across them naturally while looking for a solution or path forward or they are not far out of the way.
the funny thing about being an octo in story mode: -you can do that -cap'n says all the same things, he still calls the octarians "octo-jerks" to your face -yikes
Hey jay when you finish the story mode do you think you’ll want to speed run it again? Just think sooner we do it higher you’ll be. Loving the game so far dude and we’ll here with you every step of the way
playing storymode as an octoling is such an experience I tell you, one or the other characters will go "get those octojerks!!" or a level will say "Octarians in the Crater?! YIKES!!!" and I'd have my character, an octoling, just slowly turn around
I legitimately had no clue that the option to change the captain's look was even a thing. I completely missed it on my playthrough. Thankfully you can go back and change it after the fact though.
since i was so hyped, i speedran through the levels (yes you can skip, i managed to do min 1 per world) and it is so incredible. i am so excited. now i am playing through all the levels and unlocking everything and it is just so fun
Actually the reason you have to be a squid for splat 2's story mode is because in the series of events, Octo Canyon happens just before or at the same time as Octo Expansion, so at the time there weren't any Octolings in Inkopolis! They hadn't integrated yet World building is fun
I played the game as an octo. I can confirm nothing changes, nobody even acknowledged the fact that your an octo. Also fun fact : If you have played Splatoon 2 Octo expansion, Ex-Agent 3 will automatically take the apparence that you gave them in the DLC but you can still change it with the drawing.
haha… *Me, who has all sunken scrolls, did all weapons on all levels, walked all around all zones, literally pays 100 attention to lore, and gets into essay when a people doesn’t understand the lore and makes a horrible guess.* if you look at cuttlefish, a huge blob gets him which is Mr. Grizz! Since his hands are covered in his ink color it kinda gave me a idea that he put the fuzzy ooze on his hands so they would extend.
I legit just beat the story mode yesterday, I must say this story mode was so wacky and surreal but it was amazing nonetheless. The actual story was nothing like what i expected.
I am not giving any spoilers about the antagonist I am just giving my guess and the reasons why. So my guess is that Mr. Grizz is the antagonist because you have a small fry little buddy,the octarians have furr like bears, and D.J Octavio does not have the zap fish,( don’t read this next part if you don’t want spoilers) and one of the bosses is a bear.
Know I'm late but Octavio's mech (L3.GS) means LEGS, because the Octobot now has...legs... Also he flies minimally because he doesn't have the GZ to power him. Probably why he got the legs, actually
As a veteran splatoon player too, it’s so hard to shake off the habit of checking every nook and cranny for sunken scrolls, etc.
Have to agree
Yeah, I checked nearly every spot in the first few levels, only to realize in Alterna, that the collectibles are in the hub world, not the levels. But honestly, I think it’s a nice change.

Oh interesting!
that detail was so cute
Aww that's so cute! Totally callie-like
I always thought that it was because the ink in hero mode was real and could actually kill other inklings and octolings while in online mode it was fake ink that could send you back to spawn but wouldn’t kill you
But also, wasn't the Chaos vs Order ink sparkly iirc?
the reason little buddy glows when you throw him is because he can distract enemies. you can throw him to get octosnipers and stuff to focus on him instead of you
That's actually cool
Really?? I only throw him around to attack them, or to find my treasure on the map

To answer your question
Yes you would still be an Octoling for the story
Also congrats you are one of the few people I've seen play story and see the OG Agent 3 drawing and actually edit it a bit
i steamrolled the whole story mode today and it was AMAZING. so so excited to see you play it :)
Yeah, it was absolutely awesome! The bosses where epic!
Me to
the final gauntlet was hella hard
i literally cant get past lvl 10 💀 someone pls help
Same, not spoiling, but that big finale gave me such goosebumps, glad I didn’t die during it.
Currently in the midst of the final step of 100% completion.
I finished the story mode day one so I could watch this without getting spoiled can’t wait for the content!
Same
I just did it cause I lose all motivation to play when I already know what happens
Yeah he's doing it by part and I'm on world 5 already so I can watch this with free will.
Just recently beat the Story Mode. My god what an experience it was! Can’t wait to continue watching JayMoji play through it

HELL YEAH!!! I’m so excited to watch Jay’s playthrough! :D
same dude
You actually can be an octoling in the hero mode, so it’s just cuttlefish basically shit talking ur race in front of you.
I started story mode as an Octoling. You just keep whatever form you enter Story Mode in. It’s awesome.
I can’t wait to see your reactions to everything. Bosses and just plain old levels + stuff that happens. (Vague as possible to avoid spoilers) this is really something everyone ought to be able to experience spoiler-free as I did- it’s so worth it to have avoided the spoilers
19:59 It was implied that Callie was behind the sparkly ink, in the sunken scrolls she wrote that she convinced the Octarians to spice up their base with stickers, tape, paint, and glitter!
The ink in Splatoon 2’s story mode was sparkly because of Callie’s input and makeover of the Octarians

The ink was sparkly in splatoon 2 heromode was because of callie being kidnapped, it mentioned that she decorated the place or something

You'll love the final boss jay
Just finished the story mode, I can’t WAIT to see you play through it!

Also no, even if you are an octoling going into story mode you won’t be forced to turn into an inkling
Im glad :)
who else saw the octavio bot do the,”stay fresh pose”? cute detail!
since i was so hyped, i speedran through the levels (yes you can skip, i managed to do min 1 per world) and it is so incredible. i am so excited. now i am playing through all the levels and unlocking everything and it is just so fun
Jay’s quote of the video: “I’ve decided…cause I love Splatoon SO MUCH-“ *_*procedurally dies in the process mid-speech*_*
30:13 plot twist lil buddy was just trying to get back to his school of salamonids
I’ve already started playing the story mode but I still like watching jay bc of his commentary
The Scrolls are hidden in the hub world under the ooze.
Actually the reason you have to be a squid for splat 2's story mode is because in the series of events, Octo Canyon happens just before or at the same time as Octo Expansion, so at the time there weren't any Octolings in Inkopolis! They hadn't integrated yet
World building is fun
I COMPLETED the solo campaign in less than 48 hours, and I loved it SO MUCH!
And now I can watch all the videos about it!
jaymoji deluxe is the best second channel on youtube
I’m gonna try my ABSOLUTE hardest to beat the game before jay does. I still haven’t played a single online match yet :)
The second I got my hands on this game I immediately beat the story mode and
IT IS THE BESTT! SO FUN AND FINALLY A DIFFERENT STORY MODE
I finished the entire thing just a bit ago. Just..wow. The Alterna Logs are something else.
There are so many things to talk about in this story and I can't wait to see the rest of the playthrough
Jay is a freak of nature for puting motion sensitivity on 5 - Signed Clam Blitz Enjoyer/Dualie Player
I love hearing jay yell "yo follow me on twitch" from halfway across the room
I managed to get the last Splatoon 3 pro controller at my GameStop
Jaymojis store gives him sunglasses,a legitimately cool thing that you can use OUTSIDE to show off that you own the game, while I get a key chain.
As someone who played Splatoon 3 as an Octoling, I can confirm you can absolutely do Hero Mode as an Octo
Veemo fans rejoice
29:02 *f o r e s h a d o w i n g*
I was glad to find out I could play as my Octoling in Hero Mode, it made me happy :)
I love how you sacrifice your small fish friend at this giant mech to stop his ink sucking vaccum
I played the game as an octo. I can confirm nothing changes, nobody even acknowledged the fact that your an octo.
Also fun fact : If you have played Splatoon 2 Octo expansion, Ex-Agent 3 will automatically take the apparence that you gave them in the DLC but you can still change it with the drawing.

you're welcome. :)

WOO so glad this is episodic, its like I’m playing along too
I mean… to be fair, salmonids usually live in water, so he’s not dying lmao
I love how Jay said “That’s bad news bears”
Looking forward to watching the whole playthrough.
Yes, Splatoon 3 lets you play storymode as an octo
Imagine not remembering what Octavio sounds like.
“That job was- that was a job offer kid, the pay is (zero 👹)”
“RIGHT?! 👺”
Got me dead 💀
the game took his jordans bro. also lil buddy decided to make a fast one and DIP!!
6:48 "because i LOVE splatoon SO MUCH- *dies*
I love how this video came out after I’ve already completed the entire story.
Easier to watch tho, as I’ve already seen all the spoilers.
i LOVED the 'twist' after octavio man
The best way to play through the story is to name your smallfry companion.
I named mine “Shrimp”.
20:40 "i know what to do" as he does what the game doesnt want him to do and skips the explanation of a useful feature
I legit just beat the story mode yesterday, I must say this story mode was so wacky and surreal but it was amazing nonetheless. The actual story was nothing like what i expected.
The stream thing that always happens to me because I want to see the whole thing not just little snip bits so this is really good
the story mode is actually amazing, i was very impressed
It might be hard, but trust us Jay, it's for the crater good!
Fallin down the steps, Falling down the canyon, Falling off a cliff like my rank in ranked battles.
Story mode is fun, but OH GOD OCTOPUS
You are an excellent instructor. I will stick with you.
big man's fight is a reference to the manta storm levels from sunshine. :D
I'm not spoiling anything, but the ending had me poggin like mad
I am not giving any spoilers about the antagonist I am just giving my guess and the reasons why. So my guess is that Mr. Grizz is the antagonist because you have a small fry little buddy,the octarians have furr like bears, and D.J Octavio does not have the zap fish,( don’t read this next part if you don’t want spoilers) and one of the bosses is a bear.
It took me 3 stores to buy a copy of this game!
Lil' buddy just felt like taking a swim lmao
yes, if you go in as an octo, you stay an octo! which is very cool
Nintendo really did pull the ultimate uno reverse card by making the first 4 levels so different to the rest then just gave us that plot twist.
yes jay, octolings stay octolings in the story mode
“That’s bad news bears!” literally
If you're still wondering, Splatoon 2's sparkly ink in the story mode was actually because of Callie, as explained in one of the Sunken Scrolls.
Dj Octavio. “UG NO FAIR UR GEAR IS WAY TO STRONG”
also Dj Octavio has a mec robot
That can fly in space
woooo so excited for more of this series :D
I already finished the hero mode (and 100% it) I will not spoil it but the ending made me excited for the upcoming DLC
And now… the NEW content creator… jaymoji “banana hair” jaymoo
Who else misses Jaymoji's scottish accent for Cuttlefish
The way little buddy leaves 💀
I finished the entire hero mode in two days, I played it nonstop and can confirm it is very time consuming 😭
@JayMoji When are you going to noticed that they changed the ink rail noise from splat 2 to the splat 1 ink rail activation noise
Yay! So awesome!
“stay on land” god it’s like 1985 up in here
glad im not the only one who noticed the tazer
you indeed stay as an octoling in this story mode
and I will NOT explain why for spoiler avoiding purposes
So hyped for this
Love you jay!!!
3:28 YES! My agent three is s female octoling bc swaggers
2:03
THE ZERO JAY WHAT WAS THAT?!
Know I'm late but Octavio's mech (L3.GS) means LEGS, because the Octobot now has...legs...
Also he flies minimally because he doesn't have the GZ to power him. Probably why he got the legs, actually
