Fauna Plays Outer Wilds: Episode 14 【Jump】

[@CubicPhantom]

Fauna declaring that she's just gonna warp everywhere now had big Wheatley energy. "Figured out that whole warp thing, kind of a warp master now. Don't even need a ship, just gonna warp all the time."

[@GiantEyedSquirrel]

Giving meditation to someone who gives up super easily and gaslights herself into wrong conclusions is the worse mistake Gabbro ever did.

[@Lishtenbird]

"How have people not discovered this by accident?!" - Fauna, discovering this by accident.

[@thewizardninja]

This episode should be titled "Confirmation Bias"

[@narael2348]

The lore she looked at literally said "a visit to the station would be doubly useful", as she wondered how the ash twin towers work. I'm in shambles

[@heyboots]

I wonder if the series of messages that all highlight the words White Hole Station and talk about how the warp towers are based on it could indicate it might be important? naw couldn't be.

[@srkares]

@@heyboots its clearly just some nomai flirting, the 3 or 4 times the word WHS were highlighted are just flavor.

[@TheShadowfan81]

I feel like she just think the White Hole Station was destroyed through the passing of time, mistaking debris from Brittle Hollow for proof of the destruction of the White Hole Station.

[@rcm616-j5t]

​@@TheShadowfan81 Yes I think she still doesn't know that Brittle Hollow is gradually falling apart and the pieces get sucked into the black hole

[@kaitohill]

​@@TheShadowfan81 I was hoping that mistake would've led her to think "maybe the WHS is fine at the start of the loop and it gets destroyed later", but copium I guess

[@sistani3313]

Fauna is like a caveman seeing lightning strike a tree, then declaring she can make fire now.

[@Turtyo]

it's funny I made a similar comment the saplings hivemind

[@SirZotolo]

I now have the mental image of cave-woman Fauna doing jazz-hands at a tree until it randomly gets hit by lightning...

[@Unit-Lost]

Calling it, that's how she has beaten the game. By doing a cute jumping ritual whenever she needed to warp. Every failure to warp was attributed to mistiming the jump.

[@rikamayhem]

I am genuinely expecting that to be the case; she'll visit both Sun Station and the ATP using the power of【Jump】.

[@psycojosho]

@@rikamayhem Except that won't work with the ATP, due to the sandfall.

[@rikamayhem]

@@psycojosho I was half joking, she's about to learn about alignment and the 5º warp window at the forge, and thus how to deal with the sandfall. But if she just glances at the writing, she might combine the info with the ritual somehow.

[@Dogbert24]

​@@rikamayhem I have serious doubts Fauna will be able to make any sense of the whole 'alignment' explanation inside Black Hole Forge. Good chance she's forgotten the forge controls in the Hanging City too.

[@jeanl.franco8177]

I guess that is how real life rituals and superstitions are born.

[@srkares]

47:44 fauna: "i dont know how to use the warp towers" 48:09 game: "if you want to know how the warp towers work, visiting the WHS would be SUPER USEFUL" .... you cant make this up also the fact that she looks at the tiny black and white holes, but her immediate thought is not to go back to the place where she first saw them in use is..... something. but im sure we'll get there, we still have another 7 episodes.

[@srkares]

but more importantly 26:14 i was literally in the process of writing that same joke into chat when she said it, im so upset also we finished exploring the sunless city! thats greatnow we will never have to come here again (maybe).

[@takonaegi2967]

At this point I would like to believe that she's just trolling us on purpose.

[@boomniteynite206]

The zatsu about this game we'll get when Fauna gets back is going to be glorious

[@sistani3313]

Lol yea, Fauna self-gaslighting herself on how Nomai tech works. She will never hear the end from chat regarding WHS.

[@NoamVH]

If she doesn't go to the white hole station by the end of this Let's Play, the Saplings are going to force her to open the game, increase the brightness, and go there.

[@snoozingobake]

Fauna gaslighting herself into thinking she learned how to use the teleports... WHS save us ...

[@Ezekiel_Allium]

Where the Nomai came to worship the mystery of the Eye because they couldn't find it, we will come to worship WHS

[@SJtre3]

Welp WHS bros... I think this was the final nail in the coffin. The White Hole Station will be floating in the void of space never to see a single visitor again, never able to fulfill its sole purpose in life... Pour one out for the homie

[@rikamayhem]

Don't cry for WHS, it's already broken.

[@sistani3313]

According to Fauna, WHS exploded. I mean, she figured out warping. Nomai were jump rhythm dancers. There will be a secret text stating as such. That is how their warp tech worked. /s

[@kaitohill]

Maybe she'll think "it's not broken at the start of the loop" and go there (pure copium)

[@cybermonkey81]

I predicted a WHS visit in ep 11. When that didn't happen I had a sinking feeling that she might have completed the game without ever seeing the inside of the WHS.

[@sistani3313]

@@cybermonkey81 Falling thru the Brittle Hollow Black Hole multiple times traumatized Fauna.

[@simongellatly8787]

New sand death! :D

[@yesthatpaul]

It's a very Fauna move to meditate herself to death.

[@ooi8750]

My hopes of ever seeing the White Hole Station have decreased dramatically

[@Gjrud]

the only hope I have left is in the giant question mark that will hunt her with the promise of lore

[@veryconfused7997]

At this point, Fauna's steadfast refusal to look at, or even read about WHS is becoming fascinating to me.

[@Rhidian]

I think there’s a small chance for her to get a proper look at White Hole Station when she is trying to figure out the Tower of Quantum Knowledge solution.

[@purplexeno819]

It's such an interesting case, and happened as a result of her tunnel vision and ability to connect dots (sometimes incorrectly). She never noticed that Brittle Hollow is crumbling into the black hole, so when she sees the debris around the white hole, she assumes it's the station - despite the WHS staring her in the face when she goes through the black hole.

[@Elendrial]

​@@veryconfused7997 I mean she looked at it, and read about it - she just looked in and saw an immediate wall, so assumed there was no entry, and why pay particular attention to writings about something she's never going to be able to get into/see? It only seems like she's ignoring it to us bc it's been so talked about so much around the series, so she doesn't put the weight on it that we do.

[@NihongoWakannai]

If only there was some sort of station at a hole colored white which could have taught her about how warping works. Anyway, it's fun to see her try and figure it out herself.

[@takonaegi2967]

Yeah, it's a shame that station got completely destroyed and there was nothing to see when Fauna visited it...

[@ml1315]

Today we learned that warp pads were actually a Nomai jumping rhythm game

[@ItamiBukoto]

Such a dangerous combination of words: "I figured it out"

[@Shilag]

Nomai: "There's no reason to attempt to land on the Sun Station by shuttle. There isn't even a landing pad." Fauna: "As an expert pilot, I must now land on the Sun Station."

[@Tomzkk]

Fauna being all smug about no longer needing her ship as she can now just warp was really cute - even more so considering she was wrong lmao. Great episode and I like how her warp jump theories are getting deeper and more intricate lol

[@Shindo13371]

It'd be funny if it did work that way b/c if you did use it you'd immediately warp into the middle of sand and die.

[@echanhenry2285]

One of these days, a notification will come for a video with the title White Hole Station. It will be a glorious day, filled with food, drink, and merriment. Until then, stay strong saplings, and remember that she is playing how she wants to play it

[@bountygiver2]

the chances of that happening is reducing to near 0 already, as she could learned about the alignment as soon as next episode (assuming no other distractions) when she lowers the black hole forge and it will teach about the alignment for particularly ash twin.

[@Casulono]

Oh no, she really will be just jumping till something happens from now on

[@michaelbruso]

Fauna: Titles episode "Jump" Chat: OMG SHE'S GONNA LEARN HOW TO WARP! Fauna: 60 minutes parkour

[@theboemmonkey]

Im crying bros, she finally 'figured it out'

[@swtrooper42]

"I figured it out!" Narrator: She had not, in fact, figured it out.

[@Thinkcrown]

I’M PISSING AND SOBBING RIGHT NOW

[@Orange_Tree_]

This got to be the most unique LP of OW I've seen so far.

[@thegreatmoof]

Oh my god she really is gonna complete this game without entering the White Hole Station.

[@hantakorys]

Fauna acting like she's getting hit IRL everytime something happens in the game never gets old Man, this game is so gigantic I feel like even if I tried outer wilds myself after watching Fauna it would still feel like a fresh experience. The forge discovery looks like a huge breakthrough Great cliffhanger lol

[@Byzantine343]

Fauna you have such a talent for accidental huge brain moments that are then slightly misinterpreted, it's amazing This playthrough is great

[@Strider_Shinryu]

[@snaky117]

I wish I was as confident as fauna even when I was wrong

[@SillyMakesVids]

Don't. The world has too many of those people already.

[@jeanl.franco8177]

I like that Fauna is really smart but also a gremlim. She has the potential to solve stuff but cannot stay still. So she found Feldspar in minutes but never figured White Hole Station.

[@Blechmamber]

The latter part of this episode sure is one of the funniest things i've seen in quite a while. Man, I love Past Fauna for playing it this way and look forward to the next week of episodes.

[@omegagiga]

I am become hopeless, the seeker of white hole station.

[@RexusprimeIX]

I love this episode so much. She really just accidentally discovered how the Warp works, made a wrong conclusion on how it works. She went back, tried her wrong theory. After spending a long time at the Warp, the Warp activated as it normally does, and her wrong theory was incorrectly confirmed. ICANT I don't even care about the white hole station anymore, this is too good.

[@korkad_]

Hearthians accidentally learned space travel, Kirin accidentally learns warping, coincidence?

[@PermaSleepyRobot]

I'm now convinced this is the greatest Outer Wilds Let's Play ever. In all honesty this is sort of what the game is all about, leaving you to your own devices to learn stuff, it's why it's so wonderful when it all actually comes together at the end... but my goodness, when it goes a little sideways it goes a LOT sideways... RIP WHS bros, we hardly knew ye

[@Mace492]

I think the last bit of hope I had for the WHS died when she found out she can warp

[@Yay295]

31:22 I believe this is the first time she doesn't do a 360 in the elevator as it goes up.

[@TeaToaster]

Its over, she found warping without WHS. We can progress the story, but at what cost.

[@ghosty515]

Seems like our only hope for WHS is Your desire for Log Updates now lol! Big ups on sorta figuring out how the warps work tho! Looking forward to what you Discover in the next episode! Thanks for another fun one today Fauna!

[@narael2348]

That big question mark is haunting my dreams

[@rikamayhem]

It's not even an interesting place to visit, we just want her to acknowledge it lol. If she actually reads the text at the forge she won't even need the damned tutorial at WHS.

[@shepherdwilloww]

The (saplings') emotional rollercoaster on this episode was a sight to behold

[@strategist9]

Fauna's enthusiasm and hunger for knowledge is really infectious in this playthrough. Really enjoying catching up to the backlog of videos!

[@TheLeviathan1293]

Oh no, Fauna thinks she's been to the center of Giant's deep 😅

[@shintori1029]

And she also thinks she's been to the WHS... The ship logs should really just say "There's more to explore here" on the nodes if the player hasn't entered the place. It seems like some people just don't get what question marks are, unironically. They see that "there's more..." is gone, so just assumes everything was learned from that place.

[@nar2872]

i'm sorry you had to learn this way, but the white hole station was destroyed centuries ago... there's just some debris of it for flavor!@@shintori1029

[@Diszzzon75]

​@@shintori1029i got stuck in this game a couple of times because of this detail actually. My breakthrough was when i was so lost i started reading the whole log out of boredom. i wonder how often that come up in playtesting.

[@gottagowork]

Has she done any of the modules? Or maybe I'm confusing with other playthroughs I'm watching.

[@darththeiii8798]

@@gottagowork She visited the modules above giant's deep for about 5 minutes, didn't activate the main mechanism, and left declaring them explored

[@YTPaul3]

Fauna jumped! Finally Fauna has learned one core mechanic of travelling and she TOTALLY figure it out how it works. Cannot wait for next episode.

[@jjpants6563]

Im so glad Fauna got to play and enjoy this off stream without a chat.

[@seemslikely]

As we can see with the Sunless City, it can be tough to find what you missed if you don't comb the area exhaustively, so I'm proud of Fauna finding all there is to discover there! Now if only she wasn't so adverse to applying that lesson to the places the Log is telling her to check out, she'd be able to make progress intentionally instead of by accident The more we're kept in suspense, the more excited I am for the brain blast moments. See ya again tomorrow, Past Fauna!

[@Erionn.]

I am trying to think about how this title could somehow be related to the white hole station, not going too well though. My hopes of ever going to the white hole station have been shattered.

[@RedNox64]

This is such a Fauna playthrough. It's honestly incredible

[@blue_nexus]

I'm so sorry WHS gang. There was hope for a bit.

[@rikamayhem]

It's not even an interesting place to visit, we just wanted her to acknowledge it. She won't even need the damned tutorial if she actually reads the text at the forge.

[@JavaStrike]

Fauna has found out that the real problem in this world are the Nomai's doors.

[@Vindicare_]

And bridges

"I learned how to use the warp !" the human who thought they controlled fire because a lightning lit a tree on fire

[@sleepycritical6950]

All you need is to do a little dance to make it rain. If you extend that logic…

[@FunkyJeff22]

Guys, the Black Hole Forge tells you about the alignment needed for the warps to work. She'll figure out how warps work in the next episode.

[@reinrein6948]

Fauna missing things because she is looking too much to her feet instead of the sky is kind of poetic

[@team4star1]

she learned how to warp! (she did not, in fact, learn how to actually warp.)

[@EV-zc9gv]

well if she will be very persistent with it it will kinda work

[@ouroborosmiku]

I mean fauna just has to wait on the warp pad, and it’ll eventually teleport her somewhere.

[@AnthonyTeasdale]

She figured it out (She in fact did not figure it out)

[@Zannmaster-]

Fauna was so hyped this episode it was fun to watch. We are starting to get to the juicy lore now baby!

[@Shometsu7]

Great progress this episode, finally defeated her arch nemesis and learned that jumping at the right time holds great power

[@screamingOctahedron]

I don't know why you think those glowy squares do anything, Fauna. They're just there for flavor.

[@mateojouzan7712]

I called it, Fauna is NEVER going you-know-where! It's just flavor anyway

[@Huminei]

I love her, but she can't keep getting away with this

[@StaroxideRaycraft]

On today's episode of Fauna vs. The Sunless City, Fauna finally conquers the Lore of Sunless City and never has to visit the place ever again... at least she hopes so. Also on this episode, she finally made some more progress into figuring out the ever present mystery of just how to use those enigmatic teleports that are all over the planets. What sort of mysteries will she answer and uncover with this newfound knowledge? Slowly but surely, progress is being made our space-faring, time-looping kirin.

[@SGL12210]

I have severely underestimated fauna's sense of direction. She's clearly seeing the quantum rock spikes in the lakebed and her brain's completely ignoring them simply because she doesn't know which way is which xD

[@pexeq]

The first few are not quantum, you have to navigate around them. But she's zooming and turning so fast that she doesn't see anything.

[@MisterVeeg]

On the one hand that's an incredible discovery, on the other hand i don't *think* that was supposed to work, which is going to be hilarious for a number of reasons

[@Kayessi5]

Congratulations past Fauna for clearing the sunless city I believe past Fauna can figure out warping and land on the sun station

[@akiwave3006]

Favorite episode so far. The title drop was very hype here

[@Jet_Lunar]

Thank you Fauna for another chill experience. Maybe next episode we'll see how those warp pads are used in full.

[@S.N.I.P.]

Lets goo, she figured it out....well kind of, Episode 12 of LP Fauna has come a real long way. And it looks like today marks the second week of the series huh? Shame that we only have 7 days left with the Prerecorded Kirin, but at least that means where getting that much closer to seeing her live!

[@ZacChilds]

Man past Fauna is really struggling with the lakebed cave. I can't tell if she's just picking paths completely at random or just seeing the correct path and convincing herself she's already explored that way like she does with the white hole station.

[@UmbreonMoon]

She can warp travel, but she has no idea how it works. That's our Fauna!

[@NargusJynk]

Fauna figuring out the solution without all the clues it's so her I love when she talks to us even If it's a recording

[@JackdotC]

Figuring out "A" solution, DDR warp

[@TheAntonM]

Life is hard when you skip White Hole Station

[@LeftNut600]

Ima be so sad when this series ends i've been looking forward to it so much each day

[@UnscentedCamel]

I'm not going to lie, I ended up making the exact same accidental discovery of the warp mechanic. It took me multiple cycles of testing following that to actually work out how it functioned, all while my friend was dying of laughter watching me struggle.

[@Vortama]

The fact that the thumbnail is smug Fauna is incredibly funny.

[@Vorthein]

The jump theory is an interesting one, wonder how long it'll be for the mechanics of that to become a bit more clear. This is the most unique playthrough I've ever watched of this game, it's honestly incredible

[@holomi2498]

The funniest episode to date

[@angelquinones9201]

Love this videos. Always relaxing to see/hear Fauna play.

[@leinadgd6441]

Figured out how to warp faster than me but forgor to bring the black hole forge up That's the Fauna that I love

[@ZeezyTop]

This has been one of the most fun and unique playthroughs of Outer Wilds I've seen. I think it's a testament to good game design when there are so many ways to play through this game and still reach the conclusion

[@Spitznock]

Judging from how unkind the comments for these videos have become, I'm so glad Fauna played through the game on her own.

[@alfop6405]

I wouldn't say unkind. It's just natural frustration from people who have completed the game

[@luke_fabis]

Seriously. And mostly from people altogether new to this community, at that.

[@roarlandsteelskin6084]

This Kirin is going places, even more so than before. Thanks for another installment Fauna

[@cybermonkey81]

Watching her playthrough, I feel like I understand how Cooper felt when he was stuck in the black hole in Interstellar.

[@alexlowe2054]

21:50 Hazard? That sign can't stop me, I can't read! Also Fauna: 48:13 Visiting the white hole station would be doubly useful! That sign can't stop me, I can't read! This episode was painful. But that's pretty par-for-the-course for Fauna's playthrough. She's smart enough to change the settings to unpause time when reading logs, but she's still stuck on trying to reverse the flow of sand, even after fully exploring the sunken city. Still hasn't visited the white hole station, that teaches her the basics of warp towers. At least the pain is entertaining.

[@cyanophyceae]

Big progress today! Fauna just need to learn the right mecanism behind warp pads and then that's it, we may be able to mourn the whs

[@Yonderfgc]

this episode was gold! now fauna is gonna be jumping on all the pads gaslighting herself. I thought you had to be looking up in the towers tho, guess not

[@supanjibobu372]

You dont need to look up

[@boznia9320]

Focused mostly on the Ember Twins today, made a thorough check of the Sunless City, and finally experienced warping! Our Past Kirin is a bit misguided though on the technical aspects of what occurred, but it still counts as a breakthrough! I believe she'll figure it out!

[@williamjr3413]

Nomai just casually putting teleportation in thier DDR pads. Fauna just needs to bust a move and the travel is done. MILF

[@WillHouldy]

She really is Yagoo's clumsiest soldier. More progress, LETS GOO! Thanks Fauna.

[@senkei1589]

Surely next episode title will be "Fauna Plays Outer Wilds: Episode 15 【WHS】"

[@srkares]

the title will be 【Station】, but 5min before the end it turns out that she casually lands on the sun station, not the WHS

[@waffling0]

i truly hope we get to see her land on the sun station, ame style

[@deltempestad]

Fauna has an overly curious brain, but a goldfish attention span and its insane

[@Thinkcrown]

HAHA GOOD LUCK JUMPING YOUR WAY TO THE ASH-TWIN PROJECT. Me (a nomai corpse) and my son (the cactus they put in the entree way to stop Fauna, specifically) will be watching.

[@supersonicsteaktacular9076]

Hey! Nomai buildings are pretty good considering they're thousands of years old and mostly located on completely inhospitable environments. Imagine the erosion caused by sand on the hourglass twins, it's a miracle there's anything left. You truly showcase that every Outer Wilds playthrough is unique. It's so fun seeing you invested and motivated to explore.

[@Bluetanmancan]

Fauna really is talented. At what, I’m still not sure, but she’s real talented. Also, we’re officially in the last third of the let’s play, so one way or another, she’s getting to the bottom of these mysteries

[@AgentMidnight]

It's still incredible to me that Fauna has learned how to Meditate (Which is rare among most playthroughs I've seen), but still has yet to visit the WHS (Which almost every other playthrough encounters within the first few hours of gameplay)

[@nanoduckie]

Every episode we get further and further away from the White Hole Station

[@rakobi3777]

The neurons are sparking!

[@HoscoFelix]

After this episode Fauna's completed 81% of the main game. For now she's still the most advanced vs time spent but 14.5 hours in, Ame was at 80% so she's catching up... Let's see how much thinking jump = warp will end up delaying Fauna from here 😅

[@fagarou]

It's never been more over

[@reisuuuuu]

It's the Jump episode indeed. Thanks past Fauna, had a blast!

[@Xhantoss]

Honestly, if she figures out how to warp without ever going to the WHS then I'll be impressed at her brute force approaches Standing long enough on these warp pads will get the result she wants without ever knowing why she warped.

[@nullrefrepro]

i've just remembered there's a duplicate hint for warping via the alignment of astral bodies in the black hole forge so i'm guessing now that she's learned the secret technique of【Jump】that she found a way in, discovered that hint and completely bypassed a visit to the WHS in her playthrough lol

[@michaelbruso]

Pre-Premiere: Yay! Fauna must have learned how to warp jump! Post-Premiere: Oh god Fauna thinks she learned how to warp JUMP.
