Dang, usually these long play channels are not too great at games, since they focus more on broadly playing lots of games instead of specializing in a few, but you went right for the jugular here. Completed the game in 3 hours, getting a king vulture mask in the first few minutes. Great job.

[@longplaytv4402]

Thanks! I have to admit this run was the product of many failed attempts, but this game is so great, I don't mind grinding for a bit to get a good run. I also enjoy the challenge, it definitely wasn't easy.

[@raptorguy6464]

Hunter's run becomes way more doable thanks to that vulture mask you can get straight from farm arrays. Thanks for the tip!

[@lavaleopard2961]

The first think you do is stream the mask off a king vulture. Respect.

[@kotomisadventures9095]

the dislike was from the vulture whose mask you stole

[@trumpupumka]

thank you dude. i was really wondered about the best short paths to Pebbles and Moon by Hunter and the ending (but damn, it's really hard...) one day i'll beat this mode...

[@longplaytv4402]

Definitely a huge increase in difficulty over the Survivor. It took many failed attempts to get this one. I do think this is the easiest route, if you get the bird mask that is. I found going back through Shaded Citadel to be easier than going through Garbage Wastes.

[@stinkymoe3635]

@@longplaytv4402 why it becomes easy if you get bird mask?

[@longplaytv4402]

It seems the creatures, especially the lizards, are scared of the bird mask. In most cases they will run away so that gets rid of a lot of the enemies that might attack. It doesn't always work if you get too close and they figure out you aren't actually a bird. It also doesn't work for the blind lizards going by sound only. Many other enemies don't seem to really be discouraged by it, but it helps enough to make it a bit easier. The downside is the removal of one hand to hold things while you carry it.

[@shadowbonbon3]

Thanks so much, while I changed my route a bit in the end so I can get an extra 2 echos I missed early on I couldn’t have beaten it without your help and I got a score of close to 1K (it would have been higher if I didn’t use a karma exploit which forced me to quit a lot)

[@wish7321]

Discovering a lot of hidden paths here. Didn't know there was another way up to that shelter in Sky Islands! I thought that side tunnel was just a dead end. I always used a squidcada to head up from the center.

[@idiot8429]

tysm!!!!! Thanks to this video, I was able to beat hunter.

[@Sylviks]

Ik this is very recent but after a failed hunter play through you can see “Hunter Long Legs”, maybe the tendrils after death were the beginning of this and something found hunter’s body after it floated back up. Idk, my thoughts on it, idk if its cannon or not

[@dakaraioliver9492]

Thanks to you, I managed to ascend as hunter first try! Not without trouble obviously..

[@tranminhnghia5498]

I love this longplay video, but there is something really bugging me, I see the Hunter got no bioluminescence before entering Five Pebbles chamber for the first time, then got it after exiting the chamber. Is it a feature or a clever cut there, cuz I can't find any info about that on the wiki. Again, thank you for the amazing video.

[@longplaytv4402]

It's a feature, when you eat the neuron fly, the small floaty creatures in the Five Pebbles area, you get that illumination effect for the remainder of the game.

[@tranminhnghia5498]

@@longplaytv4402 thanks, I think I missed that scene in the video. I was so confused.

[@ReverendSyn]

*I have literally no idea what happened at the end. You go through all that effort just to die anyway?*

[@thatfish3951]

From what I understand, the hunter is dying, and the end of the run is where you succumb to the illness

[@axious9613]

If you take too long to try to get to the end(20 cycles) Hunter will get seizures, move slower and is basically weak at this point, dying is the end of the run

[@longplaytv4402]

As the others mentioned, that is basically the story. When the hunter meets with Five Pebbles and Looks to the Moon, they mention that the hunter doesn't have much time, so whether you make it to the end or not, it seems there's no way to avoid death. If you follow the Survivor's story though, you'll see the hunter's efforts may have been worth the struggle.

[@soupmarine6053]

I got to 54:31 but there is no pole there where to can get extra height to get to Five Pebbles. If it's a glitch, it sucks because this would've been somewhat the first time I play as The Hunter only to discover I can't reach a stupid pipe.

[@longplaytv4402]

I don't think it's a glitch, but is super annoying to have to bring two spears to get up to the pipe, and sticking one vertically in the right spot takes a little practice too. The other way is to bring one of the flying bugs with you up the wall, but that has it's pros and cons also.

[@soupmarine6053]

@@longplaytv4402 I actually tried bringing a White squicada with me for that! I was about halfway but the problem is the WHITE LIZARDS. And on occasion, or if it's for a specific spot, a King Vulture comes swooping in. So yes, it's a hassle. It's annoyingly stupid to do that one specific trick bc it ruins the flow of the gameplay and feels like a backslap. Kind of made me not want to continue playing that mode but gosh, I was having fun. Hopefully Downpour will lift my spirits :)

[@HarambaeXelonmuskfans]

For any lurkers, try practicing with arena before attempting the trick. Actually helped quite a bit.

[@SireSquish]

Why does this playthrough start at the Farm Arrays instead of the normal intro? (I've never played this)

[@longplaytv4402]

It's a different storyline... the Hunter has lived in this world and just starts the story in a different location. The Survivor falls into the world in a different spot and is unfamiliar with it. There's probably better explanations out there, but that's basically it.

[@SireSquish]

@@longplaytv4402 I actually found a wiki shortly after posting that, and ended up on a massive Rainworld WikiBinge, but that's a pretty concise summary.

[@forkcate]

why did you go through memory crypts if you already had max karma? edit: sorry i didnt realize you went to shaded citadel, its called the leg in the video shortcut thing

[@longplaytv4402]

Thanks for the heads up... the sections in the video don't seem to be labeled the way it is in the description. I'll see if I can fix that. But, yes, I went that way to go through Shaded Citadel to get to Moon.

[@Hoggod]

I don't understand How are the , The hunter, the survivor and the monk different ? Different levels, areas skills, or story of what

[@jak8714]

Different difficulty levels and playstyles. The survivor is standard- fight, forage, and survive. Monk prompts cooperation over battle- you can befriend the creatures you meet, far easier than other types. The hunter, on the other hand, is all about the conflict- their main source of food is flesh, with lots of fighting as a result. There are also some story differences- Monk skips most of the deeper lore, Survivor is (again) standard, while Hunter gets an opportunity to better befriend the AI...I think, it's a little fuzzy at this point.

[@AzrapseWare]

In addition to what other have said regarding difficulty, the Hunter storyline happens first. An unmentioned AI sends the Hunter with a neuron fly to repair Moon (the dead AI). The Survivor's storyline comes next: a slugcat is separated from its family during a flooding and it needs to survive and explore in the world, finally reaching the depths where he meets other slugcats that went there to "ascend". Finally, the Monk storyline comes last. The Monk is one of the youger siblings of the Survivor, and is out to search for its missing sibling. In the end, it also goes to the Depths where it meets its missing sibling.

Tried to do this pathing, after some random bullshit that the games throws at you (in a positive manner), I got the 5P experience of being eaten by Pebbies random goop shit in his brain, probably just unlucky that the fucker was directly in my way doing no sound that would overwhelm the music. I guess I should just go back the wall and run trough the Underhang

[@WayneGlensky-vx5er]

Hello long play You may remember me from the survivor run where i completed it Anyways do you have any tips to dave time on cycles during hunter?

[@longplaytv4402]

Trying to fight all the creatures takes a ton of time, if you can just avoid them after you get enough food and that can save a lot of time. If you get the vulture mask, getting by all the lizards is much easier, so that saves lots of time too!

[@Hoggod]

And why did your hunter start at cycle 19 And survivor from the begging ?

[@longplaytv4402]

I'll probably get this kinda wrong, but the Hunter actually counts down as they have a limited life. It kind of comes out in the discussions with Five Pebbles and Moon, but basically the Hunter is dying and has to move quickly to reach the end. The survivor isn't limited on cycles so counts up from zero.

[@karhanen2368]

can you go straight from shoreline to subterranean without dlc. All the maps i find on google are different and i dont think my 10 cycles are enough to go your route

[@longplaytv4402]

I don't think I've ever done it, but I have an old map I downloaded years ago that shows a path from Subterranean, at the lowest left point that goes to subterranean at the far right of that map on the train tracks. Looks like it could be possible.
