The Warpath Of The Combustive Slugcat
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лют 2023
- I'm back to Rain World: Downpour, this time playing the second new slugcat, The Artificer. This slugcat is a violent creature armed with explosives and the ability to launch into the air. These abilities will be required however, with a certain group of enemies actively trying to hunt you down.

Having to drag enemies with you to get past a gate is the equivalent to taking a security guard's corpse and dragging it up towards a retina scanner.
True,true
this slugcat is literally "violence isn't the answer. violence is the question, the answer is *yes"*
you said it right
I wouldn't be surprised if this slugcat was german
In soviet russia, you no pay scav for toll. scav pay you.
"Violence is not the answer, but. Yes it is"
And it's a Racist
Idk if you saw them, but after the dream where arti’s second pup dies, it starts having increasingly dark and erratic dreams about confronting and killing scavs
oh, oh no
wait the slug pups die in one of the dreams? i didnt see that
@@nicholasg.5718 yea i checked it, funny what skipping about 30 seconds at the very end will miss
@@sleepibunnycat blue is supposed to get speared at the dream where arti runs away, and green gets leached and drowns because a scav knocks them away from arti
Actually i think I'm wrong and blue's fate is left to a fade to black. We do in fact watch green die though
Monk: “Are you sure *all* of them wanted to kill your pups?”
Artificer: *”No exceptions.”*
Monk: “...But-“
Artificer: *”Did I stutter, Banana Boy?”*
Monk: “I’m friends with some scavs, they’re-“
Artificer: “?!”
*Threat theme plays for Monk*
Iggy: *Projects the danger sign pointing at Artificer*
oh no oh no oh no
Did I stutter Banana Boy?
Saint: ayo i found your kids
Artificer: REALLY?! WHERE?!
Saint: go far to left until find fa#*% *Spear stab sound*
@@agustron2479 *points into the abyss (Void sea)
I love how the Iterators are named like how a slugcat would name a godlike being. Like when they're telling a story of their adventures to their fellow slugcats. I mean... Five Pebbles lol
Funny enough I'm pretty sure the humanoids who made them gave em the funny names. Sliver of Straw is my fav
@@Failuigi41 Most likely named by the Ancients or they just named themselves because they're used in communication relays.
The Ancients' own names were weird too, like "Droplets Upon Five Droplets" and "Six Grains of Gravel, Mountains Abound"
@@Failuigi41
*N o* *S i g n i f i c a n t*
*H a r a s s m e n t*
No way the Ancients weren’t smoking some shit when they named that Iterator
Same with the devs, the game’s story went from “omg poor little scuggy permanently separated from family.” to “If you were immortal wouldn’t you eventually get tired of living?”
The echoes names are goofy as hell.
Skurry: "You lived that? i stabbed you!"
Scavenger: "Oh my bad bro, here ya go. *Died of death*"
There's a bleedout timer
If anyone else also paid attention to the area the spear stabbed as well; He also died of no descendants.
RIP mommy slugcat, the death of her pups made her permanently stuck at Karma 1 (Violence level).
and considering that no scavs exist on 5P after this part of the timeline (hunter and after) means that it was likely the canon ending :(
Additionally, the reason why the Scavs are so distrustful of Hunter is probably because of Arti, seeing as Hunter is probably the first slugcat that they've seen since Arti and they most likely still told stories of the horrors that occurred last time they saw a slugcat. This, paired with the fact that, when continuing on the same save after killing the Scav chieftain, any Scavs that you run into will flee in fear at the sight of you, really goes to show just how terrifying Arti really was, how many she killed...
@@liamtordoff9974 also Hunter even looks like Artificer! The scavengers that survived Arti probably passed on stories of a "demon in the form of a red slugcat with a scarred eye". The tales spread over time, eventually passing from memory into myth, and the blood-red murdercat became a creature of legend.
When Hunter arrives the scavs don't see a mere slugcat, they see the Harginger of the Apocalypse Reborn
How do you know the slugcat is a girl? I thought it was a boy the whole time.
@@theshadeow5103 Technically they don't actually have genders, so call them whatever you want.
@@theshadeow5103 because of the backstory with the pups it makes the most sense for the slugcat to be a grieving mother and therefore female.
plus the official (but technically not canon) dating sim easter egg calls artificer a "she", so the community overall just kinda accepted her being female.
"i do not support violence, but here is the exact coordinates of the scavs and the keys to the front door."
I freaking LOVE Artificer, a bomb-slugcat that holds a grudge that transends cycles and the endings reflect such muderous intentions of her
@@FoxyKitti Not entirely sure myself, I've just heard alot of streamers call Artificer a she since she was referred to as the mother of the pups, especially in the date sim thing, but most wikis call Artificer "they" from what I'm seeing.
@@FoxyKittiyes the mother thing is true. Her pups got killed by scavs
@@FoxyKitti It's a she, and just because the pups don't look like her's doesn't mean they aren't, they could have gotten more traces from their father (probably dead or something)
@@FoxyKitti And it's somehow impossible that the Artificer is the father of the slugpups because... Because slugcats don't have fathers?
@@Joryax I mean, male *cats* in real life tend not to stay around for kittens. But slugcats are likely descendants of purposed organisms, and any natural ancestor they may have been engineered from might not necessarily have had such a behaviour.
Fun physics fact: explosions inside water cause non-liquids to rapidly compress! Which means: if you cause an explosion in water while in said water, your lungs will suddenly collapse and you’ll die!
Ooooo sounds fun!
That makes sense for artificer
I would say that's a not so fun fact lol
That is a weird thing i noticed while in water. If i hold my chest right up to the surface of the water, than hit the water really hard over And over again it feels Like my lungs hurt.

I like the fact that this is in chronological order.
Ascension, hah.
arti is so fun cause i imagine that shes like. constantly vibrating and just has blood dripping from her mouth at all times
agreed
Plus she even has an attack called maul. Where she kills enemies when knocked out. Someone said she snaps their necks. But it uses her eating animation. And it's even called maul. You can use it on scavengers aswell. Instead of snapping their necks. She's ripping their necks apart. Way more brutal and menacing than simply snapping necks.
@@Chara_Dreemurr1yes, you can do it with ANY knocked out character
@@Chara_Dreemurr1 it's honestly really easy to kill scavs with it even without a spear.
@@AdaTheWatcher ... they kill me if theres multiple. And i suck at aiming.
there's a unique ending if you try to end normally in the void liquid
18:54 What happened here is a product of the way health works in the game. Every creature has health, but they don't immediately die on reaching zero health. Instead, the game calculates a probability based on how far below zero their health is, and every frame, RNG uses that probability to decide if the creature dies. A creature at exactly 0 health is technically dying, but the probability of death is 0%, so they never die. That scav's health was probably just a smidge below 0, so the odds of death each frame were low, but it did eventually trigger.
that scav got speared in the nuts. couldnt handle the cbt
he bled out
i like to think that the adrenaline wore off
Okay but can we talk about how Skurry beat the final boss in one try?
Na.
Boss is Extremly RNG lmao
it can take 100 attempts or 1
The fact he Headshotted him TWICE with EXPLOSEIVE SPEAR
@@deadclawh3851 Skurry is Nonbinary (goes by They/Them)
@@timothymenard1750 😵😵😵
Ridiculous. Hate that boss.
Must be terrifying to live as a scavenger knowing that there's a slugcat that is hunting them down and no matter what, they can't really stop it since they all can't permanently die.
yeah but they started it
This cat is either Cherry or Raspberry. I like raspberry for the artificer because “rasp” kinda sounds like “wrath” which I think is rather fitting.
wrathberry
Cranberry would fit more in terms of taste.
Nuclearbombberry
chat voted on pomegranate during stream because it translates to grenade in french and some other languages, i think it's cute
@@DrKiborg fatboyberry, but that would be more on gourmand and artificer is a mother anyways as well so that doesn't check out that well either. Maybe uhh, idk. Darkredberry, very original ngl.
1:54 I can’t help but notice the guy in the live chat feed that pointed out how the artificer looks like prince zuko
17:13
That noise is the rain alarm. Iterators, likely because ancients inhabited the cities, had alarms to warn engineering personnel that the rain is about to arrive, this also happens in spearmaster at moon’s walls/legs
It's a cool headcanon, but it doesn't make much sense to me. To my knowledge, the origin of the dangerous rain was 5P's enormous water use that killed Moon, which was long after the ancients were gone, so they'd have had no reason to have a frequent warning of a threat they didn't know about. Also, the ancients lived in cities above the clouds. I find it kind of unlikely that they'd have organic engineers handcrafting iterators in a dangerous area, especially with how many iterators there were.
When I hear that sound, I personally just hear the sound of a lot of machinery shifting around, and since it's an electrical storm, it could be to protect the materials in those areas - it kind of sounds like huge metal structures moving. I think it's a mechanical, uncaring noise as the structure shifts different pieces around to protect itself from rain/the electrical storm.
@@midnight4685There still was rain before 5 pebs did his thing, it just wasn't bullet speed level dangerous yet.
@@leolen8029 Yeah, I mentioned it and I don't think that'd have been worthy of alarms. I did specify 'origin of the dangerous rain', and the rest of my comment deals with why I don't think it was warning of normal rain. The only real threat from rain would've been slippery surfaces and similar, but I doubt organic engineers were working on the iterators, and it wouldn't make sense for the alarm to be for the ancients living in the cities, since the cities are above the clouds.
I agree that it's probably rain-related, but not alarm-related. Basically, I think that's the sound of the structure putting on its raincoat, or the structure somehow shifting in response to the rain/electrical storm. Not intended to warn, just an uncaring, cold, mechanical sound. Machinery can be really damn loud when it moves around, and with how big the iterators are, it makes the most sense to me.
You're completely free to have it as a headcanon though, I'm purely elaborating on my own interpretation on it - I could be completely wrong.
@@midnight4685could have been that it was an alarm moon could control for whatever the fuck disaster could happen and moon started using it to alert for rain when it became deadly
@@midnight4685 no the rain was already pretty dangerous before 5 pebbles started to chug water like a thirsty man at an oasis. It's why the ancients moved to Live on top of the iterators in the first place
they beat the boss so casually and didnt even realize it was important lol
Something that's probably going to come in handy, there are toggleable QoL settings in the Rain World Remix settings, like showing how much breath you have left, and faster shelter opening.
So THAT'S where I find those! Thank you very much, friend!
I like to imagine that the iterators’ names are references to ancient culture in their world, like how we name things after ancient greek stories.
imagine having ancient culture and all the cool, important things are just named your world’s equivalent of “John”, “Liam”, “Bob” etc.
My headcannon is that Gourmand found Arti after the slugcat group escaped more dangerous predators on their journey away from the ruins. Arti tagged along because although they've surrendered to violence they realized they can harness it to protect the slugcat clan. Gourmand and his people can eat in peace and Arti has a family again.
My own headcanon is that, after defeating the Chieftain Scavenger, she took his place. Effectively becoming the boss of those who hurt them. Sometimes they hang around with 5P. She eventually manages to reach the point of ascension, and does manage to!
Artificer and Gourmand's pups are the same colors so maybe Gourmand is the father of Artificer's pups?
uhh there is quite a big time difference between arti and gourmand
"The Warpath of the Combustive Slugcat" Holy ravioly Skur, what a sick arse title. I love that!
I've been playing Arti so much it's powerful and really makes the gameplay even more enjoyable
Teases the slug cat with Catnip 😂 😂 😂 😂
quickest way to instantly explode and die
Saint or rivulet?
Still my favorite storyline just because it lets you bring pearls to Five Pebbles, it's fun seeing him get all excited over art and history
HE DOES??????
@@marimationsowo Yeah, especially with the white pearls, he goes into a lot more detail than Looks To The Moon and gives context to the writers, even tells you some of their names. I think my personal favorite is this one.
Moon: "An image... of five bottles, standing on a surface made of... plants? I have no idea what this is."
Pebbles: "An image of five bottles of water, standing upon a surface of filter feeding plants. A reflection of desire for something denied. A painting from the late Red literary dynasty by the famed painter Twenty-One Spokes of a Stone Wheel, a true visionary!"
@@phyllotaxis damn guess he spends all his spare time studying stuff, i’ve gotta give him some pearls now!!! thx for the examples btw
My favorite strat for the beginning camp is to go flying in toss a bomb ahead, throwing corpses and spears everywhere and run away in the chaos. Gourmand may have the greatest damage potential but artificer is the path of the violent maniac.
now id love to see a randomizer for artificer, lots of things to get shuffled up
The only problem with that is that you kind of need scav bodies to progress and randomizers aren’t great at giving you stuff when you need it
40:51
"Who is ready for the start of a youtube death compilation?"
But he was insane and did it first try
Just thought I should say that they go by they/them pronounce :)
42:47 This may be one of the hardest images of all time, plus it reminds me vividly of the DOOMslayer which is perfect because they are both harbingers of death and filled with rage
It would have been kind of funny if shoving a pearl into your stomach and then regurgitating it rewrote the pearl text into "I HATE SCAVENGERS".
Huh, I wonder if you could bring the mask to Pebbles, to show that you've done it
Yes you can
From my run he doesn’t say anything specific about the mask, I believe that either with or without the mask returning to him just results in him saying something along the lines of, “Judging by the state you’re in, I’d assume you found whatever it was you were looking for.”
I’ve grown to love your Rainworld content Skurry. Thanks for sharing with us. Great video and I can’t wait for more!
yesss I was waiting for this, downpour got me back into rain world and ive been having such a good time, up there with hollow knight for sure. Can't wait to watch all of the slugcat playthroughs here
I think the iterators all named themselves and each otheelr and mostly based on their own personality. NSH is named that way because the are known for their jokes that, while irritating other iterators, never caused harm because he does care for the others (seen in NSHs Broadcast to LM after her can collapsed).
Big sister Moon is also called that because she is a quite old iterator and sees the other iterators as their younger siblings, someone they need to take care of.
For others like five pebbles and seven Red Suns etc, I assume that those are names given by the old ones that they never really bothered to change
the cyan lizards jumping of at 25:30 is why the they're extinct by the time the survivor is there
I love how they manage to do this and murder thousands of scavengers almost not using the explosives making ability at all
I got this game after seeing your Gourmand video. Thanks for introducing me to such a cool game!
So you're telling me that Doomguy got reincarnated as a slugcat? Sigh me in
Artificer is literally just doomguy. Her kids were killed by the scavengers. Now she's on a warpath and will kill every single scavenger in existence. Like how doomguy is killing demons because they killed his pet rabbit.
Artificer is definitely one of my favourites to play as but of the new slugcats spearmaster was the most fun to play for me
I will say that going into the void with this slug cat has… interesting results
the fact that skurry predicted the plot of the whole campaign after only watching the first dream sequence is wild
Finally! I got a video almost as soon as it released! SKURRY YOU ARE AWESOME!
I don’t know why i spent time on this but I have decided on which lizard corresponds to each slugcat
monk - yellow (because he likes family)
survivor - pink (very basic)
hunter - red (strong)
gourmand - caramel (chonky)
artificer - cyan (yeet)
rivulet - teal/eel (swimmy boi)
spearmaster - train lizard (op)
saint - strawberry (grapply tongue)
finally,
enot/thx andrew/sofanthiel - green lizard (smallbrain)
Artificer is red because she's the most violent.
You mean a teel lizard?
@@voidsatas1524the delivery of this joke is so bad i didn't realize it was a joke for like 10 seconds
I think skurry just forgot how to make bomb spears 2 minutes in
18:52
Rainworld has a mechanic where if an attack does enough damage to put an enemy below zero health, but not enough damage in one hit to be considered "critical damage", then the enemy's health will go negative, and they'll start bleeding out. As they do, their health goes more and more negative, and they have an ever increasing (but not guaranteed) chance to die
It's possible to get past scav tolls. The easiest way would be to pick a high spot for you to stand on with a free "line of sight" on the area (which will be out of your camera's view, to make it easier to kill them without getting attacked yourself). Make sure you have enough food, and turn some items into explosives. And bombs away. Easy way to guess if you aimed properly is by the flying spears and corpses.
artificer is such a sad story, she loses her whole family because one of her children took a pearl.
Fun fact: Mirros vulture (vulture with Miros bird head and lasers for some reason) was bugged upon release. It had INSANE hatred towards slugcats and because of that, would target them first and very fierce. This is why it ignored cyan lizard corpses around Skurry, lmao. Slugcats number one priority
I will watch this on the couch with a bag of popcorn when I get home
I’ve always found Artis campaign to be the saddest, not only did she lose her pups but she became what she swore to destroy, maybe worse.
Artificer is so awesome!! The other ending made me cry :') artificer meeting ded kids :')
Why is skurry's voice sound so innocent 🥺
What happens if you do what echo says and don’t kill the other guy seems there is a way to move past the violent cycle (with the karma increases and all that)
Don't quote me on this, but I think that if you find all the echoes and reach the depths you can ascend for a unique ending.
Lmao, I remember just throwing those slugpups of the cliff in this dream 20:44
would have loved to see his reaction on the ascension ending
skurry immediatelt stealinf a vulture mask and proudly parading it was brilliant foreshadowing
i've been waiting for this video for weeks! looking forward to the other rainworld videos :DD
27:07 took me a month to realize those are pacified scavengers and not dead ones, that's why there are so many in the pipe.
Every day in which Skurry posts a video automatically becomes a good day
I just started my artificer run and barely made it to citadel with them in the little bit of time I had
I dont think it needs to be said but your videos are an amazing thing to always look forward to, love your positive attitude and humor skurr keep up the good work!
I love the slugcats I'm happy to wake up for this uploadd
Yooo new skurry upload. Your voice is really relaxing, thanks for the content homie : )
In the first age, in the first battle, when the Ancients first dissappeared, one stood. Burned by the Rain of Cycles, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment.
In his ravenous hatred he found no peace, and with boiling blood he scoured the Moist Plains seeking vengeance against the dark scavangers who had wronged him.
He wore the crown of the Slug Cats, and those that tasted the bite of his explosive spear named him... The Artificer.
Been enjoying binging on these videos 🔥
Time for the funny boomstick movement cat :)
Artificer went to town on those scavengers literally and figuratively....
16:00
Skurry: What is this?
Me: PEBBLES!! WHAT DID YOU DO?!
I wonder if Skurry is going to go for the good ending.
The thumbnail look so awesome 🔥
I hope you try to do a full ascended run of this slug cat someday, it's workable, you just have to use a corpse for the final part, unique ending as well I've heard!
2:43, all the slugcats take place at different points in the timeline
your rw vids are so great
I love the thumbnail that's so cool
let’s gooo more rainworld ❤
Slurry should definitely play more gourmand, complete the "food quest" and beat the game again for yknow
looking forward to ur vids always!!
Love this game

1 year after this video came out and I still rewatch it
And that’s another one for my downpour watch later playlist! Still waiting for it to come out on console…
I was in pain watching the lack of use of the concussive blast, good way to disable multiple enemies at once. But enjoyable video for sure!
very good video
hi mr skurry i just want to drop a comment to tell you that i love ur videos and i hope you never stop making videos theyre the most comfortable thing
we need more
more skurry rainworld content :yippie: (I have been killing hundreds and then dying like a room before a hibernation spot in city for 3 hours I love this thing and hate it at the same time)
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who spent hours dying in the city :,)

The secret slug cat’s flavor would be nightshade.
I was thinking more like black licorice but this works too
YOOOOOOOO skurry dropped another rainworld video,for some reason im enjoying this more than hk cotent probably because of rainworlds inpredictable ai but dang
YES YOU’RE CONTINUING THIS
you should continue that save and ascend as well. it's very bittersweet
unless you’ve gotten an echo already then i think you’ll have to reset your save
they can’t, their karma level is permanently set to *VIOLENCE* mode
