It's crazy that The Saint just looked a void worm in the eyes and straight up went like "Get the hell out of my face"
I think its much more than that. Saint continues to reach max karma, ascend, and then ascends a void worm. If I'm not getting the whole ascension/echoes thing wrong, ascension is supposed to result in a permanent end, while an echo is effectively stuck in purgatory. So it seems that Saint is in a loop of botching ascension to kill void worms each time. My theory is that Saint is literally staying in the cycle solely for his desire or plan to kill all void worms and possibly by extension the void? or he's just a speedrunner and is trying to perfect his route for techno-buddhic clout?
Makes me wonder then why the ending shows an echo version of the Saint, as we only associate echos with the overwhelming ego concept so far. Actually this conclusion leaves us with more questions than before... I kind of like that.
"Bitch can't you see i'm over here ascending?"
@@2142jerbo I thought Saint did it on purpose to return to the world, not to get rid of the void worm. Mostly because of what Moon and Five Pebbles say to Saint.
If you ascend Moon and Five Pebbles, part of the dialogue is:
"Only those who have seen the other side can know the answers, but by definition they can never venture back to deliver the knowledge they have gained."
"Perhaps that is why you need to wake up, little visitor."
@@2142jerbo would make sense as to why he gets echo'd with the violence karma, but why does he start with the sex karma is still weird to me.
i love how Das got posessed by 5P for a moment;
"i will not have my run ended by a squidcada"
just the.. anger, the darkness, the.. spiteful edge? The VENGEANCE in that.
When was this?
*Proceeds to kill gamer*
About 26:20, potato wizard
I had the exact same train of thought there. It even used the voice Das used for 5P in my head.
The sheer horror of seeing the saint rise again to meet his adversary. It's over. It's over.

Further notes:
1: after completing gourmand's food quest, your able to find slugpups across all other playthroughs. They are followers what act like mini players. Keep em fed, and alive.
2: you can ascend both moon and 5P as saint. This offers dialogue in Rubicon
3: as gourmand, going around the site that you've permanently died as the hunter, you'll find... Something ;].
That last one is ominous, but I can’t test it right now because downpour has not released on switch.
Update: I found a post about it and uh… wow
dont be shy , tell us what it is
Something? you say well then.
Oh it's... Something, alright
@@checkurcloset SEVERE SPOILERS FOR THE TRUE TIMELINE OF HUNTER!!!!
. Basically, hunter canonically succumbs to his rot and dies before he can ascend. He becomes the pink rot, stuck in that room. It also explains what hunters turbo cancer was!!! It was rot!!! What the fuck NSH!!! why did you do that to my boy!!!
Rubicon is a river in Italy.
Ever heard the expression "Crossing the Rubicon"?
It meant bringing the army in Rome, something drastic, that you couldn't call back, once done.
For context: When Gaius Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon with his Legions, he was henceforth legally invading Rome with a hostile army and the Senate had him declared an enemy of the state. Crossing the Rubicon, which served as part of the border of the province of Rome, was arguably the point of no return after which Caesar's ever increasing grabs for power led inevitably to the devastation of the civil war, Caesar's own assassination, the downfall of the Republic and the beginning of the dictatorial monarchy that was the Roman Empire, beginning with his own adopted son and heir, Augustus.
"Crossing the rubicon" is also a scoring method for certain games, where you have to cross at least 100 points or lose the bout. I wonder if there's an easter egg if you somehow manage to score less for saint..
Saint was always an echo, Saint was the Triple Affirmative, Saint is both the weakest slugcat and the strongest slugcat, Saint is the most Karmic and the Least, Saint can walk the line between ascension and the cycles.
we dont actually know if saint was *THE* triple affirmative, but we know he is a triple agfitmative
Why is saint not already at karma 10 if it was created by sliver of straw? I mean this genuinely
@@imbadatusernames6295 the karmic cycle works in strange ways and it could be that the journey to the local group cost saint alot and locked them down to the karma we're given at the start of the campaign.
If Rivulet is the timeline fixer, Saint is the timeline *ruiner*
ending things off with a bang
I’d argue being basically repaired and chilling in rubicon is better than the current state of both moon and pebbles

Saint identifies as a lost soul/echo
13:43 This echo is concerned for / intimidated by Saint, is what I'm getting. "Swim with the tide or against it" referencing the void sea. Saint is neither ascending nor becoming an echo, it has instead chosen the path of perpetual burden, to assist in the ascension of others, until every last one is done.
I dont think so, if u ascend 5 pebbles and big sis moon, and meet them in Rubicon, they will give u dialogue stating this place isn't real like a "dream from the outside", they could see their past lives and versions of themselves, while for saint his goes own for eternity with no end. Because of this saint most likely became an echo.
@@PA-1000 I don't think Saint became an echo. due to his abilities, he was able to effectively ascend while still alive, witness the Rubicon, discuss it with Pebbles and Moon (if they are ascended) and fight off a Void Worm to come back to the living world. He is well and truly a saint, one who saw the realm beyond ascension and returned to the living to offer guidance. Not to achieve it but to abandon it as it is not a worthy goal.
Although sometimes reading into something deeply is the best way to figure out the truth, It's easy to overthink things...
After ascending the art for each slugcat changes to their ascended form, and in the case of the saint, it *very clearly* shows the saint as an echo.
In addition to that, helping others ascend is exactly the thing the echoes do.
@@this_commenter_had_a_strokeholy shit
holy fucking shit
True
It is much like the Bodhisattva of Buddhism, people who are mere moments from trancending the entirely of the samsara, the very cycle of rebirth and death itself across all the realities, choosing to instead stay in order to help others gain true enlightenment, in doing so they are ironically bound to the mortal realms but are elevated to such a degree that they experience their own cycle that is parallel to the circle that is life and death, interesecting only with time and space.
Saint seeks to accend every possible being across all realities, they exist in a cycle that is separate to the one all others are subjected to, to repeat its pilramages to the echos as to re-learn true ascension in the mortal body, to then accend others who otherwise are unable to do so themselves. At every end where they return back to the golden sea, to face the void worm the guardian located at the edge of ascension, to proclaim that its work has not yet been completed, repeating the cycle anew returning to where it began its pilgrimage, seemingly the same exact way yet it isn't. Saint moves to the next reality and is not stuck in the current one, to aid all possible outcomes to ascension.
This is why during ascension, when playing as the other slugcats we see countless others doing the same, all of them swim in the same manner towards the same direction, this is most prominent when ascending as The Gormond as the other slugcats are very conspicuously rotund. Those aren't different slugcats, they are all you, all from different parallel realitites that have done the same exact thing.
"Ideally, we would wanna rest in the Wall and then come back for the echo"
*Pebbles is fucking dead*
"Oh well, I suppose not!"
8:45 Also implies that in the final exodus the ancient leaders forced people into the void sea. Which is on a whole other level of fucked up even for them.
Holy shit it got even darker than I thought
maybe they threw coroses into it, after all one of them says they toiled away till their final breath
I actually made up an entire fanfiction like backstory for this echo (my favorite, rhinestones beneath shattered glass my beloved) where they were just kind of thrown in. Imagine the struggle of not wanting ascend in a society that wants it so bad they near permanently changed the landscape. I might’ve made them basically an oc in the process but who else is the perfect vehicle for my ancient headcanons
My other favorite thing about the echos besides this revelation is how one of them managed to have character development as a giant eldritch blob of tentacles
OK let’s be honest the saint campaign is not as easy as the title makes it out to be
Yep
Saint is like every downside with hunter spawns on steroids
What does "Karma" do in the game?
Sorry,I never really got into the game...
@@chee.rah.monurB the only thing i know is that its normaly used to open gates,It increases by hibernating,decreases by dying and you can have a buffer/shield for when you die If you eat a karma flower.
Thats all i got from watching videos tho
@@thejuggercat it’s also required to ascend
Maybe Saint was the solution Sliver of Straw found. I mean, Saint starts with the ability to communicate, but none of the iterators gave it the mark. Clearly Saint regularly enters and leaves Rubicon, and, assuming this is where all ascended beings end up, this would be where Sliver is. So maybe Saint originated in Rubicon, or was transformed after ascending. The iterators, when encountered in Rubicon, if ascended, talk about how you can't find an answer to the Great Problem without having ascended yourself first, but then you can't communicate your solution to others. Maybe Sliver realized this too. Just a stupid theory.
Edit: spelling
If you don't mind spoilers, the very final challenge in the game reveals that Sliver of Straw was indeed ascended by Saint. It's very hard to beat, I personally haven't seen what comes after yet. But I'm definitely excited
@@maniandbeano when is this? In Saint? Can you link the source or sth?
@@big_sis_moon It's in the game, go to arena, and challenges. You have to complete every other challenge to unlock it. It's a boss fight with sliver of straw, 4 phases. Extremely difficult, I myself have only done 2 or 3 of the phases
@@nts0n Aw, damn. I was under the impression Saint was the triple affirmative, but I didn't know the devs confirmed it was non-canon. Oh well, still an extremely fun boss fight. And seeing sliver was amazing, but nothing will top the moment I (mistakenly) "realized" Saint was the triple affirmative
Non-canon as in wrong idea or non-canon as in different ascension host?
The conclusion was so thematic and awesome, I can't let it go.

I like how despite Saint being the "weakest" character, they can also be the most powerful one.
My theory is that Saint ascended, but then realized he didn't want to ascend. He traveled across the world to get max karma and kill the void worm so he could become an echo to anchor himself permanently in the world.
i.. actually don't see holes in this.
It makes a lot more sense if you ascend Five Pebbles and Moon and listen to their conversation in the Rubicon. They basically acknowledge that what's past the ascension isn't worth it, but the only way to figure that out is to ascend. Unless someone can go back and let everyone know the truth. And then Pebbles says that Saint needs to go and wake up.
all this really makes me wonder who Saint really is. I mean, we don't know anything about his background, challenge 70 isn't canon either.
@@hornetisspider he is the one farthest along in the timeline, could be that evolution and random chance finally generated a slugcat uniquely attunned to the void. One that not only managed to weild karmic energy as he saw fit, but also that was able to reach the rubicon while still completely lucid and without fully ascending.
I think you're mostly right. But I don't think he really became an echo. Echoes are those who want to ascend but are held back by vices, so they're caught halfway between attachment to life and desire to ascend. I think Saint grew to value life (especially through talking to the echoes) and thought ascension was a false or unnatural solution, and that living life was the true gift.
When his 'echo' body returns to his normal form, I don't think there's any echo to him at all.
WAIT! I JUST REALIZED! Saint reapears asleap where we first met him in the beginning of the game! AAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Rainworld is like a nightmare in a dream in a nightmare, on steroids.
Yep.
so true
But with the steroids injected into your brain
i absoloutely loved the saint campaign, it just offers the most delicious lore ever concieved for this game it really makes you wonder if it is truly virtuous to give up on a happy life in the hopes of an afterlife that may or may not exist, the echoes, the iterators what really was the point of it all and was it rally worth it?
as i said the most delicious lore questions
I don’t think they wanted an afterlife.
With the exception of hunter who gets a horrible death (that you can see while playing gourmand)
andrew's lore bits are the best
Absolutely delectable. Positively scrumptious. Totally yummy lore. Lorealicious.
With all that we know of the Ancients, I'd definitely argue that they were massively projecting hard with their desires for utter annihilation from existence, which did lead to a lot of crummy stuff during timeframe of the game (yknow, like 5P's (emotional) meltdown and causing the long-legs at the absolute bare minimum, but lots more overall in the world)

@@sakura368 those are there for every scug what
So Spearmaster, Gourmand and Rivulet had wholesome-ish endings Artificers was just murder every scavenger and Saint is just total wtf. (Spoilers but like that's obvious here) first it gets max karma and then it becomes a god and then it goes to hell or something and then it tries to ascend Jerry before becoming an echo and turning back into a slugcat?? Moon talking about how they just met but their perceptions have to part but their cycles will meet again makes it seem like Saint has gone through this whole cycle of get max karma go to Rubicon and then go back to the start multiple times and who knows how many times Saints actually gone through that. Then there's Rubicon which makes no sense first its a distorted version of the Depths but then its just various different areas stitched together but half of those areas aren't even IN Saints point in the timeline (I'm probably missing some parts of the lore since I haven't seen what the Iterators say in the puppet chamber if they get ascended but who knows how much it would help).
Edit: Ascended Pebbles and Moon talk about how the solution they were looking for was technically impossible for them to find which was already obvious but then they say that its time for Saint to wake up which makes it seem like the entire Rubicon area and even Saints journey could just be a dream which does make sense since Saint is sleeping at the start of their journey but saying all this cool stuff is just a dream is lame.
There's probably a better ending, I mean the name suggests who he should be.
my thought process is that Saint is based off the idea of a bodhisattva, someone who can achieve nirvana as is but instead stays to help others ascend first. They restart because their work isn't done yet, maybe?
Artificer can achieve ascension by not murdering the Scavenger King, the echo ending is just a devtools failsafe.
@@dumbsterdives I'm wondering what happens if you try and ascend all the creatures. A vow of the bodhisattva is to postpone ascension till all creatures have been helped to ascend as well.
@@dumbsterdives nailed it

I agree, this only makes it worse, it makes me want to cry, but not as much as when i first encountered five pebbles almost dead.
i never cried so much because of a video game as much as i cried from seeing him
@@isaquedopao6667 it's sad because you are witnessing literal final stage Alzheimer's, and it is hard to imagine that ever happening to a person. He is clasping on to one of the only things he faintly recalls experiencing during better times, and taking that leaves him with only broken thoughts and memories. He cannot think well anymore, only feel, and that makes it even harder to see him knowing how he feels about everything that happened, forever in ruin and regret but not completely being able to grasp why.
droplets upon five large droplets's dialogue hits different once you know saint's ending

Am barely starting to watch the video 0:09 and I already know this is not going to be easy at all. Hunter spawn and basically defenceless, this is gonna be challenging.
Edit: Love how the saint went from the weakest out of all the slugcats to literal god. Also love how while all the other slugcats *descended* into the void sea, the saint *ascends* into it. Goes to show how he is properly attuned and has become what is essentially a perfect being.
Bruh how was your reaction to seeing the path to the wall so casual! When I saw it I actually gasped out loud and said "oh shit"
i stood there in silence for quite a long time. crazy how much emotion you can have just from half a room missing
Perhaps the saint's mission is to ascend everything and everyone, including the void worms, which would cause it to be forced to go through the ascension process multiple times until everything is ascended, perhaps with the saint, there is still a sliver of hope for everyone to ascend, echos included, it seems to even know a way to shield itself so it can escape before becoming a complete echo and continue it's mission of ascending one void worm at a time.

Saint is one of my favorites because of the lore. Him, and I can't decide about the rest. Spearmaster is great, he's extremely fun, artificer well she's obviously going to keep you on edge, and Ruffles is the cutest lil guy, and he has some fun ass movement. But the absolute LORE of Saint is delicious
Its so crazy, as soon as I received the power to forcibly ascend things my first thought was "oh shit I can help moon and pebbles" so I went to moon, ascended her, was just too damn interested in the ending to go do the same to pebbles and just went and ascended myself. THEN I encountered moon in Rubicon and I was like "is she here BECAUSE I ascended her here and pebbles isn't?" Turns out, thats EXACTLY what happened, too cool man, but damn this ending is even more incomprehensible than the base game ascension was my first time seeing it
Dazombes reaction to 5 pebbles can not being there in chimney canopy: "guess not."
Need a mod that changes the accend attack into a vineboom

They basically acknowledge that what's past the ascension isn't worth it, but the only way to figure that out is to ascend. Unless someone can go back and let everyone know the truth.

Saint then purposefully went and became an Echo so they can be around to warn people that ascension is not what they want to do.

I like the theory that Saint is The Triple Affirmative - a purported organism (much like the Spearmaster) created by Sliver of Straw ages ago. Rubicon is the border, or the threshold - perhaps an embodiment of the border between this life and the next, a line you cannot return from once crossed. As the Ascended Iterators say, one simply can't understand what lies beyond without crossing the line - but since you can't return, you can't carry the information you gained back to the previous world.
Saint, however, *can* cross the line and come back. And it seems like they've been doing this for a considerable amount of time.
Perhaps this form of a solution is simply to clean up everything the Ancients did. The other Echoes know the "solution" - rather than crave a way to ascend beyond life and death (and go mad trying to embrace some sort of True Death from existence itself), simply enjoy the life given to you. The Iterators only want peace, and Saint perhaps is giving it to them. Everything else will naturally collapse into the Void Sea, leaving behind fertile ground for whatever comes next. And so, perhaps, another revolution of the cycle continues.
... It's also just satisfying to see them pop a primordial being like the Worm with the power of their mind.

Turns out i was wrong, because the fucking Rainworld Downpour DLC is even MOAR trippy than the main game because of this singular green fucker. And don't let me started on whatever the fuck the secret Sofanthiel run is. This game melted my brain and gave me a headache for two days. Would recommend.
iirc the Sofanthiel ending is based on an april fool's joke
As soon as you got the power of ascension, my first thought was "Go back to Moon" and seeing the puppet box made me glad I thought of that
Can't wait for the next video that interprets the symbolisms of the lore added behind the DLC. :3
The theory i like the most is that saint is the triple affirmative and the reason this campaign happens so far into the future is that they had spent all that time ascending all the other iterators in the world. And if you have Lttm and/or 5p in the rubicon puppet room, they basically talk about how saint is trapped in a massive cycle. Thats why the campaign starts with the saint in the void cutscene, cause saint trying to ascend but cant, and gets sent back to the beginning of their adventure here. The reason saint can’t ascend is pretty simple: think of the ancients and iterators. The ancients made the iterators to figure out a way for them to ascend, but the iterators themselves can’t ascend. The same for saint, the iterators (sliver of straw) made saint in the same way, purposefully or not. Saint has to be the saint their name makes them to be, ascending all the iterators who have given up, but in return never being able to break their own cycle. The closest thing to that for the saint is becoming an echo, forever stuck in the world.

Slugcat review:
Pros: is green
Has small food meter
Has big tongue
Is spider man
Can fly and one shot anything at max karma
Cons: can't throw spears
Is vegan
One shot is hard to activate and use
Rubicon is absolute pain
Can die from the cold
Verdict: 5/10 cool slugcat but wouldn't play again
He is also fuzzy.
It's not hard to activate, you just gotta know where you can activate it. You gotta be airborne before it can trigger so you gotta jump before trying it, this also means you can't trigger it in tight spaces so plan accordingly

I was never one to play the game for more than a few hours (some of the creatures terrify me to death and I have yet to learn even the basics of the movement), but I was once invested in the lore as I am now. Your videos are amazing (even the non-Rain World ones) and I'm happily awaiting your new developments of Downpour. Its been so long that I need to refresh my memory, the sins, the logs, all of it.

It looks like that iterator exploded, I wonder how that would even happen
Which one?
@@victorpedrosoceolin3919 the one on the left
maybe broke down with time. metal and stone parts are decaying with time
It is quite true that Rubicon is a memory because some rooms look very familiar, most of the rooms are taken from their respective regions and are just slapped into Rubicon. For example, room HR_C02 is from Room SI_C02 from Sky Islands. However, these rooms have different layouts.
"he starts at sex karma"
already loving this
Gotta point out that while heading to the shelter in undergrowth he passed 2 Stowaways. I have no clue why they didn't activate
saint is such a youtube
PULSE GANG FOREVER!!!!! I SAID IT BEFORE AND I’LL SAY IT AGAIN: PULSE GANG PULSE GANG ⭐💫✨!!!
Saint’s ending hit me like an actual freaking speeding truck….hooh boy wow. Still shaken by it, especially after watching this again XD. Wow…the emotion throughout this entire thing, it’s just beyond me. Comprehensible, but wayy out there and I’m at a loss for words. It’s a spiritual experience, Rainworld. It’s beautiful, truly beautiful. Life itself is an experience and we only understand how beautiful it is once we’ve come to the end, and that’s the same for Rainworld. They fit a valuable moral lesson into this game, that you never have to handle stuff alone, and I’m astounded by that. That message reached thousands, millions even, as the community has grown through this long and extremely worthwhile wait for this game’s DLC. I am beyond words, although haha, I apparently have a lot to say. Sometimes you can be both at the same time.
I’m extremely glad you enjoyed Saint, the editing for this video is again incredibly well done ^^💫✨!! Pebbles is shown and alive (barely) but you didn’t see him (unfortunately) 🤷. He’s so sad and precious…aaa I wanna make stuff better for him but I can’tt 😭😭💝💖💕. The chamber in Rubicon is waiting for Pebbles and Moon after their ascension…it’s a…wow. Waiting for something you don’t know will come. Interesting idea that if Pebble did fall into the void sea though…that’d be neat 👀✨. Rubicon is the definition of trippy, surpasses the void walk and maybe even the void world mod you played XD. The devs were watch you struggle and secretly snicker like “we’ve got more hehe” and watch you suffer 👁👁. Anyways yes haha, this has been getting kind of long, but Rainworld holds a place in my heart that I hope won’t be replaced (doubt it ever will), and I’m so glad you enjoyed the DLC :)✨. Have yet to watch the Sofanthiel thing but that’s for tomorrow 👀 (watched all these in a day haha). Thank you for the videos :D💝💖💕

Saint: It's so sad Steve Jobs died of Ligma
Squidcata: Who the fuck is Steve Jobs?
Saint: Ligma balls
26:19 "squid assassination attempt on god" PRICELESS
I just realized the destroyed iterator cans in the distance at the end have to be pebbles and moon because of how close they are to each other.
“Hey is this filtration?”
*Ancient Labyrinth*
“Yeah, sounds like filtration.”
26:28 That was frickin funny as hell
>rubicon tierlist grade: F
>arrives in rubicon at 22:07
>40% of runtime remaining
oh yeah. it's all coming together
what makes saints ending even better is the fact that its a reversed version of pictures of the past (the song that plays when you first start)
The devs like: oh no this slug cat is too hard
*BARFS OUT UNHEALTHY AMOUNTS OF LORE*
Devs: wait it's still might be unfun
*Makes slug cat god*
I wonder if he'll do the secret character next
Oh, he did. I saw the stream-
Can't believe it's actually real.
26:20 needs to be a meme
It’s the (secretly evil) baby.
Cant wait for sofanthiel play through!
"I hope I can rest at the Wall."
*stares into the abyss*
I love when Das gets exited he just sounds so happy and it fills me with joy.
My theory is that the Saint is a saint because he chose to become (or was made as) this echo-ish creature that cannot ascend, but can ascend others. He is a saint because what he does is act of otherworldly kindness
I am glad you are gaining traction for yourself and this lovely game, I do not wish to be spoiled so it’s going in the watch later playlist
THE FUCKING SQUID LMAOO
I can confirm this is the genuine Saint experience
I think the in the ending the screen is just flipped, you are still swimming down into the void sea, but technically "ascending"
Talk to the squids, and then nearly die to an unrelated squid
20:51 the saint said "control alt _DELETE_ "
