Rain World - Doing an average hunter run except it starts on cycle 0

When I reached cycle 0, right after leaving my shelter, I tried to climb a pole and immediately suffered a seizure, falling into a monster kelp. This is very impressive.

Honestly one of the scarier parts of this run, even if it doesn't look that way. She said she did 60-70 runs and if she didn't die because vultures flew away with all her spears at the start it was usually scavs. All it would take is for one of those guys to be a little extra nervous and she could have gotten speared. But she had to make sure they were paying attention or the pearl could be wasted, even though jumping like that is triggering to scavs. Very likely both those outcomes (wasted pearl or stabbed for being scary) happened to her at least once at that toll in these attempts

And I'm a relatively poor fighter at times, so the vulture mask is a lifesaver :O Thanks, Turtle Toad, it was nice figuratively journeying alongside you :3 Edit: I have no idea how many attempts that took to successfully Ascend. I kept messing up my pathing pretty early on and ruining the entire run as a result. 😆 I have NO idea how you did it without dying. I kept getting killed by centipedes toward the end, and then the damn mole lizards in Filtration.

Update: On my Hunter run, I had the foresight to not go to Garbage Wastes, and didn't see the Red Centi in Subterranean. I did manage to spawn one in Garbage Wastes on Survivor, though, and I edited the game files so I could keep it there. Can confirm the thing's scary as hell and you have to fight against your instincts when encountering one

[@zeynepturkoglu5187]

Yeah pretty scary and powerful. And the fact that they can *hear you while ur crouching-* ... When u encounter one, i suggest u never get in their way and stay as far away as possible. If they're blocking a path or pipe, either distract them by throwing a rock to a distant wall several times or wait it to go away. Usually in most of my playthroughs red centipedes are (not always but still commonly) busy killing scavs and lizards so i dont waste the small opportunity to slip by them. And if they ever spot you, and ur sure of it, just run like hell and try to gain faster speed. Yea ik they are fast but u can be faster with advanced movement tricks. When they grab u, quickly throw a spear ( *not a rock* cuz it doesnt do anything) then while its processing the armor penetration hit, stab the vulnerable spot and run away. If he gets close while running, stab the same spot again if u can. Also watch out for its other end cuz its trying to reach u aswell. Although, even if ur doing everything right, *u can* and probably will still die. Several times maybe. Its just how things are in the amazing nature of Rain World. Sooo. These tips i wrote are pretty much just for hiding and how to get away from them. If u wanna hear the tips for *hunting em,* just lemme know and ill gladly help. Hope u stay safe and have fun gaming

Although it is funny that Hunter does a backward flip often, I get it is the side effect of cycle 0. Why Hunter has a cycle 20 limit? What did it just eat? 7:46 Why the hibernation bar goes down? 8:10 Then it goes up!

[@gachakris2924]

The backward flips are there to make the leaps much quicker and farther than usual, can be done on most slugcats. As for the hibernation bar, he's simply starving himself so the echo's bring him back 2 shelters back instead of the usual 1

[@jessiesowter]

The backflip isn't a side effect, it's movement tech that any slugcat can do in order to pounce further. The hibernation bar goes down because turtle is force-starving. It goes up because the food requirement is larger when you are starving.
