The Mission Of The Spikey Slugcat
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Its time for my playthrough of the next Rain World: Downpour slugcat, The Spearmaster. This cat plays in a very unique way, being able to create spears from their own body at any time, but requiring them in order to survive and consume food. They will also have quite the dangerous world to traverse through in order to fulfill their mission.

Imagine the symbiosis between scavvies and spearmaster in a real world scenario. Scavvies get free spears and spearmaster gets to feed off of what the scavvies are fighting.
Well, Spearmaster can only leech from LIVING creatures
@@gaminggeckos4388 so he gets to feed off of what the scavvies are fighting WHILE he protects them
@@isaquedopao6667 but then the scavs just get in the way, plus they'll deal damage to the prey causing it to die sooner and therefore grant less food
@@gaminggeckos4388 but if the lizard or vulture grabs the spearmaster the scavengers can save them and vice versa
@@gaminggeckos4388 and i guess you do got a point
shoutouts to the person in chat who saw skurry spearing the neuron flies during lttm and said "slowest most unethical lobotomy of all time"
they werent wrong
Spearmaster: "Stop giving me your hardest battles!"
Seven Red Suns: "You are my strongest soldier."
Later...
Artificer: "GIVE ME HARDER BATTLES"
Five Pebbles: "What the fuck?"
The duality of slugcat
So true though
PFFT- so true though.
i really love that when Moon gives Spearmaster the Mark of Communication, she doesn't send them Fucking Flying like Pebbles does with the other slugs, it's like she's gently patting them while Pebbles is throwing the square at them at high speed
FlySkyHigh did such an exceptional job with that thumbnail, it’s some of the most metal RW art I’ve seen in ages. Well done!!!
I will second this. It looks badass
Right?
Metal?
Metal pipe?
Metal pipe falling?
I've only played through Spearmaster once so I never saw what happens if you actually go to Pebbles before Moon!! Insane how there's so much content in this DLC that most players are going to miss
like hearing half the songs ingame 😔
I have never thought about going to Moon first, what happens?
moon gives you the mark of communication and when you go to pebbles you can see what the pearl says@@nickhoude21
@@nickhoude21Moon will give you the mark and detect the pearl stored inside of you, but She doesn't read or remove it. I think what is more interesting by going this route is what Five Pebbles has to say, since you're given The mark before encountering him
@@nickhoude21 You get to listen to 5P's rageout. Bonus points, if you can get your hands on the pearl before he kicks you out, you CAN bring it to Moon. Who gives you ANOTHER quest to use it for as she'll talk about it. She then overwrites it, and asks you to bring it to another location to insert into a communications broadcaster. She gives her last words to the public iterator broadcast network with it. Basically right after Spearmaster's campaign is her fall and collapse.
42:15 I actually teared up. This is moon’s structure, in all its glory. It’s beautiful. It’s so full of life. Man, this game hits me in the feels
Just saw the ending, now I’m crying
exterior 2
26:18 The way Spearmaster leaned back makes it look like they actually programmed him to be afraid of Five Pebbles
I mean, he knows what Iterators are capable of, and his 2 feet away from one that looks very mad and just ragdolled a thing out of his chest, so I think his right to be afraid
I am pretty sure it’s just instinct
@@HYDROCARBON_XDI think they mean the game devs, not Seven Red Suns.
tbf Pebbies did just rip a pearl out of his chest lol
Pebbles *did* just forcibly rip out spearmaster's balls
gosh i love how much downpour has fleshed out moon and pebbles, their story is so tragic 😭
Pebbles but he’s just Zuko with a worse moral compass and immortal

I was just lamenting at how I had to wait for the next installment of Skurry’s Slugcat Adventures. My prayers (and boredom) have been answered!
man same - i was god damn craving for new skurry's videos on rain world
i even got so bored that i rewatched their other videos on this game a couple times
*insert parody of a ceebeebies show's intro*
ah yes a skugcat
@@I-like-cows nooooo don’t bully me!!!!!! DX
@@selfdestructivecat4922 *don't
Was I the only one who couldn’t stop laughing when blue started spinning too?
edit: 21:48 for reference
No, definitely one of the best moments from this playthrough! xD
Greatest plot twist of ALL time.
it was just trying to follow there brother
I think I died of whiplash
@@Morphybrinn XD* "xD"
fun fact: spearmaster was the first slugcat to arrive at rainworld, thats why everythings isn't crumbled or how shoreline is waterfront facility
My new headcanon is that every spear we use with subsequent slug cats originally came from spearmaster
@@georgerobins4110 I love that. I will accept that as my cannon too
Then why in arti's campaign waterfront facility is still not broken? Maybe moon didn't fully collapsed in arti campaign?
@Pebbsi_official Artificer comes a little bit after Spearmaster. it's just that Arti cannot enter LttM Superstructure as the usual entrances are blocked off in Waterfront. it's only after Artificer that she fully collapses.
@@Braxten that's what im saying
I love the universal Spearmaster experience of being stuck on Chimney Canopy farming birds to get to the Wall
God I cannot wait for Skurry’s reaction to Saint playthrough. I hope they do the full ending.
Wait, are there multiple Saint endings?
Big spoiler:
I hope scurry goes to pop moon and pebbles
I hope everyone's brushed up on their Rainworld lore, otherwise it's a lot of difficulty for not much reward. Worth it if you're deep in the lore, though.
I also hope Skurry tries the "funny" slugcat, even if they give up on it very quickly.
Although imagine if they got all the way to the ending with it.
@@sycamorph technically most slugcats have multiple endings but saint has a more fleshed out version of an ending if you do some extra stuff
Seeing this, I definitely think that Spearmaster should be played after Rivulet. Luckily you get that choice. The way that the end of Rivu is set up just perfectly leads into Saint I think.
You can even see Rivu's breath after their ending, implying it's getting colder. Some areas like moon's city and comms array have snow aswell.
It leads into it.
But I can see why they ordered it from difficulty.
Either way, Saint is honestly nuts with its mechanics and story. Can't wait to see you play it
You just said spearmaster should be played after rivulet. Do you mean before? I agree if so
@@j-manplushadventures9173 Yeah that's what I meant. It's ultimately up to player choice, but I think it's better story wise
@@ultima5720 I agree with you. Personally I think it would have been better narration-wise to first play spearmaster and visit moon while she was still almost fully functioning: it creates a painful realization of how grand she was and what was lost, without knowing if she will ever really get better; and then you play rivulet which is the quest to give a little bit of moon's power back. I feel like playing in this order makes spearmaster 's story more poignant, which was a bit lacking if you play it right after rivulet. Anyway yeah I agree lol
it goes: Spearmaster, Artificer, Gourmand, Rivulet, Saint (Monk, Survivor, and Hunter are in there somewhere)
@@HornAndHaloWrestling Assuming you're counting timeline wise, Hunter goes before Gourmand, and Monk and Survivor take place soon after Gourmand.
When you realize Spearmaster is tech support for the Iterator Discord Server.
The lore on each of these has just been increasing. Gourmand was just chunky slug cat finding friends. Artificer was a tale of revenge and regret but had no real impact. Rivulet was showing us what happened afterwards and how we helped Moon. And Spearmaster was a message dilivery for the iteraters. What’s going to happen with Saint??
@@Pigeon_loll that challenge level is not canon
@@HornAndHaloWrestling oh ok
After artificers time in the timeline, there are no more scavenger on the wall. The fact that it's a pretty good habitat for them and artificers ending makes me believe artificer had something to do with their absence
@@phobics9498 she boomed them all :3
THE ART IS SO FREAKING GOOD
After all of the normal slugcats are done with you have the hidden slugcat and the dating sim to beat
Game over *G A M E R*
Finally, grape flavored slugcat
So is gourmand fanta and artificer Coca-Cola?
@@Boooiiiiii arti is cherry coke
@@Boooiiiiii arti is dr pepper
@@Boooiiiiii arti is Selecto
@@Boooiiiiiidon't be silly. Gourmand is cream soda
It’s a small thing but I really like the titles for these slugcat videos. I wonder what the last one will be
The pilgrimage of the holy slugcat maybe
Scug
Pilgrimage is PERFECT they gotta use that word
@shortcake you read my mind
@@shortcake9965 The Pilgrimage of the Pacifist slugcat?
the saint playtrough is going to be crazy, story wise
but they pretty much don't know anything about rain world lore when they didn't know what cycles iterators were talking about lol. this is gonna be a disaster
the reason hunter enemies are in artificer and spear master is because they chronologically come before hunter
Now, here's my favorite slugcat! Just a spiky fella, bringing a hopeless request to a god. Now, i must say that i haven't played spearmaster yet, but i am extremely exited for it!
As a quick note, i will list some of my spearmaster headcannons >:)
Their actual name is Seven little stars, Named by seven red suns.
They wear some form of Poncho/robe, which suns made sometime after they returned
Spearmaster's personality is very Calm, but also somewhat emotional
They yelp as vocalizing
Not sure about yelping (or any vocalization whatsoever), seeing as idrk if Spearmaster even has a mouth in the first place
Spearmaster has no mouth do to him being a purposed organism and I guess suns hated mouths
@@chillknight3940 Maybe the tail spikes are really the mouth that’s been moved down there, and the needles are repurposed teeth…
Possibly he could 'yelp' through his nose, but that's unlikely too
@@gaminggeckos4388 The spikes are from an organism that has been passed down through the generations. It's a whole separate entity, which also kind of makes spearmaster and all his ancestors like a siphonophore. It lives inside the tail and shares nutrients with the spearmaster.
I really liked Spearmaster's campaign cuz combat is one of the most fun aspects of the game to me. My only complaint is that I wish SRS gave Spearmaster a little bag or pouch so I didn't have to use 1 hand to hold my stomach pearl for half the game. My dumbass went through Exterior, and having to kill like 20 lizards/spiders and avoid snappy birds was really annoying with only 1 spear.
my dumbass made it all the way to moon without the pearl and didnt realize i needed it
now idk what ima do cuz im on switch version and cant just spawn it in
10:35
quote №587: I would never say weird things
skurry: noooo i took drugs
39:09 the best transition ever existed fr
spoiler
I love how in the end we get to see the scug return to the iterator. It's happy to be home and they both seem sorrowful about what is soon going to happen.
SRS is happy too, they like their little messenger
Every day I await for when scurry plays the secret slugcat after saint and it is pure suffering.
that thumbnail art goes absolutely insane
31:07 “shoreline’s never bad” overstatement of the year
I can't wait to see Skurry's reaction to... honestly, all of the Saint campaign, dude's fucked up
Oof, they didn't go to pebbles after moon, straight to communications.
as someone who did spearmaster first, i can confirm that CC is hell on spearmaster because there are like 50 king vultures
Spear master dinner: "Did everyone get a quil?" "Yes" *Spears a bunch of squidcadas* "Mmm, delicious!"
the way FP rips the pearl out of spearmaster is always so painful for me. like wtf why are you abusing that poor slug sir?? and the way Moon gives spearmaster the ability to hear is alwo much gentler than what Pebbles usually does
38:38 why did I have in this room 3x more spiders, orange lizards and birds than Skurry
One of my favorite slugcats. I have been waiting for this.
Edit: the ending made me sad.
iterators are sentient colossal robots with their minds wired up to discord
Your art for this game is absolutely incredible
it's not theirs, check the description
@@altzeus8740 Oh ok
Spearmaster quest starts in a timeline same as the other slugcats BUT BEFORE ALL OF THEM he is the first one to appear in the city
*Some spoilers for several scug campaigns:*
I spent nearly 200 cycles as Spearmaster. Seeing Moon, then Pebbles to understand him, then collecting every colored pearl and broadcast I could. Befriending the scavs, feeding lizards spearmaster's seconds, really grinding out passages. His place on the timeline and involvement in the plot (even before the game starts, its not his first time seeing the local iterators, or 5p at least) is basically what allows the rest of original Rainworld to happen. He helps 5p learn how to first start the experiments, he saves moon from complete agony and perpetual decay by allowing NSH to get a report on moon's status (Thus starting Hunter's quest to deliver a slag reset key and reply message, and leads to cannon elements of monk's campaign), he is the first scug we know of to visit 5p, prior to arti, hunter, and gourmand. By the time gourmand has shown up in 5p's can, 5p realizes he cant stop them from wandering in, even with his facility in lockdown, and allows the path to outer expanse to be opened, hoping to direct the slugcats elsewhere.
Spearmaster is the catalyst for almost all the events in rainworld, and as you listen to more broadcasts you realize SRS's science experiment was based off of work NSH had already been doing with purposed slugcat organisms, which means Hunter wasnt the only one NSH created, even at this extremely early point in the timeline.
We also learn SRS ends up caring and worrying for Spearmaster quite a lot in the end, and is terrified their attempts to help their friend 5p will result in even more harm to SM (with SRS losing all idea of what happens after 5p destroys SRS's red overseer). Spearmaster is no arti, no rivulet, no bodyslamming void bomb crafting gourmand.
He's just a lizard that doesnt need to really sleep or eat like a normal scug does, and can make spears, and backflip slightly better then most, yet arguably survives and thrives in the most hostile part of the timeline's ecosystems.
His full story was the most emotional one for me in Downpour.
This series is my favourite thing on UA-cam right now :D thank you Skurry!
every time art of the sligcat is shown my tripophobia is triggered
tbh making scavs hate you as spearmaster just makes for great catering
I needed this today, thank you so much Skurry
Seven Red Suns told Five Pebbles about how to do something, which they messed up and contracted the Rot through that; SRS knew beforehand that something like that could happen. Am I getting that right?
Feels like I really need to rewatch this entire series, since I only started trying to understand the story this year, but that feels like important Lore to me; unlike how it was treated here.
From survivor pearls you learn most of RW's story. The DLC adds bits and pieces to make it have more fluff. In survivor you learn that SRS told FP how to use genetic engineering to give himself admin access to himself (which he would use to kill himself). The process took too much water and moon interrupted him out of panic at a critical moment, creating the rot. FP trying to flush out the rot took even more water and so moon's structure was destroyed.
@@cooly1234Yayy glad you elaborated for them :)
The rot was originally a form of targeted cancer- not unlike radiation used in chemotherapy, used to kill specific cells in his body. Since he is forbidden from harming himself, he exploited a loophole by creating an organism to do it for him.
does skurry know about squidcada flight?
39:45 this is the 2nd reason spearmaster is best at parkour.
The first requires a squidcada.
the spearmaster art after beating the campaign is honestly IRLA relationship goals
oooh! some sea slugs can manufacture their own spikes so… seaslugcat?
I really like this series, and eagerly waiting the Saint journey!
Haven't watched the video yet but that thumbnail ART HOT DAMNNNNNN it's insanely good
Holy sht the thumbnail’s sick o.0 GJ to whoever worked on it!
Edit: not able to edit the actual comment but I did notice the thing in the description so GJ FlySkyHigh!
Man, these videos are my absolute favourites
This is not only a great video, but it also has an amazing thumbnail! I m screenshooting it
Fun fact: the gate that spearmaster came out of is home to the western intake system. This can be accessed as gourmand, survivor, and monk (and basically and other slugcat that can access Outer Expanse)
can rivulet access it?
I love how he calls the mushrooms drugs, and I’m just getting into rain world so idk much info about it, this video was entertaining to watch I have to say ^^
your rainworld playthroughs is what made me finally start playing the game because it looks so fun
why is no one talking about the smooth transition at 39:10
alright, Game Theory:
Ever since Artificer, the scavs have not trusted any slug cats. :(
Spearmaster comes before Artificer, and Monk is on pretty good terms with the scavs before even meeting any. Plus, Survivor and Gourmand are completely neutral with the scavs, so they aren't quite trusted but aren't exactly on bad terms.
Ah yes, Chimney. I finally escaped the sky bridge shelter after using a couple starvation cycles (to preserve karma). Ended up collecting seven masks (three kings) there.
the sound of spikey slugcat pulling out spears is so uncomfortable
Before watching- it’s finally here :D
After watching- welp that was fun but kinda sad cuz we see everything happening and how looks to the moon collapsed
I was gonna rewatch an old skurry video but they uploaded rn :)
This is such an awesome thumbnail holy!
thats the coolest thumbnail i have seen
I spent so long in chimney canopy I actually decided restarting the campaign was easier than continuing that one.
I can't believe I'm not the only psychopath who did that lmao. And it worked for both of us so wtf.
Let’s go more rain world Content, I’ve been waiting finally finished my Gormans run personally loving the update. Glad I found it through this guy’s.
When i first saw spear master (i was half asleep and half watching) i thought he just generated spears with the power of his mind
moon just casually opening wikipedia-
I know nothing about this game I just know that enemies can spin
Maybe you can hear the transmissions because the needles are tv aerials
SPOILERS AHEAD!!
Hey Skurry!
In Downpour theres a secret SIXTH SLUGCAT, which you can unlock by:
Typing "sofanthiel" on the main menu. no, you don't need to type it anywhere, just type it on the main menu, while nothing is selected. don't type it with uppercase, etc. just all lowercase.
The slugcat is called Inv, Enot, and a lot of other names.
Inv is NOT canon. It is a joke character.
I wont tell what Inv changes, but I'll just say; You're not going to like it. :)
PS. You have to have the More Slugcats Expansion (Downpour) enabled for this to work.
Um hi
@@GodOfVoid000 hello
I love Spikey Slugcat ❤
cant wait for skurry to play the easter egg/kaizo slugcat
the rainbow birds look like they have flandre scarlets wings from touhou
Man the art of theese vids is incredible
14:55 I spy with my eye the Saint. (Hi enough karma to go through the beginning gate.)
Can we take a moment to appreciate the thumbnail art
15:27 i also made enemies with the scavs during my spearmaster run, got stuck in the gutter for several hours until i gave up on that run
The unsolicited spoilers in twitch chat go crazy. it’s actually really annoying lmao, if you’ve played rain world and understand the lore, then you should know that the poignancy of the story and experience comes from experiencing things for yourself. I had to spend so much time doing my own playthroughs before I watch these uploads, not because of slurry’s gameplay, but because of twitch chat :/
It’s so frustrating seeing a setup for skurry learning a fun, interesting mechanic and then someone just puts the answer in chat right away
Wait which mechanic got spoiled?
@@catpoke9557 in this playthrough, certain feeding mechanics were spoiled, for artificer, the karma system was spoiled, and there was just generally a lot of things that should have been left to self-discovery and weren’t. Whether or not Skurry reads them and gets spoiled is one thing, but the whole audience sees the spoilers too which irks me
@@straight-up479 Man that sucks
Am I the only one who thinks all of Spearmaster's internals are just in the tail?
bro i just got rainworld and I got recommended this video immediately
You’re in for a hell of a treat
I really love your videos
Slug cats my beloved
Spikey must be the better evolution during that period because of the super structures
oh yeah, Spearmaster's spear have minimal value in Scavenger trading in case you didn't know that
( ' ◡')b
no voice to cry suffering, except thru the tail
wait we were supposed to get the red thing that came out of spearmaster? oops 💀
2:38 "you want me to eat this junk? ew, where's my bbq at"
YOOOOO SKURRY RAIN WORLD, I was waiting for this one
technically there are 3 cats left... but one of them is hidden!
It makes me happy knowing I’m not the only one that gets stuck for cycles on end going to wall through chimney canopy
The first time i played spearmaster i tossed the pearl off The Wall cuz i thought i didnt need it anymore and as soon as my friend told me "no hey you need that" i couldnt get it to respawn in a shelter
So i just went and ascended instead lol
52:38 that caught me off guard I didn’t actually expect them to use the Vinesauce voiceclip
Spearmaster becomes a porcupine and becomes floating and starts floating. Because it pokes out of every single pour of his body
What a spiky little cat
There was a point in Spearmaster wear I had to carry a Lantern and the Communication pearl, and I couldn't use spears at all =(
You could have gone to either moon's super structure oe 5P's structure and ate some neuron fly. I would say moon's super structure is best for this purpose.
Ok! thanks for the tip! =)@@Twst3628
Spiky boi is the most powerful cat. Just don't pet its tail.
can't wait for saint playthrough
