Having played the base game 3x over and forcing myself to reexplore and discover things I'd missed or forgotten, the DLC really reminded me that I'm an absolute moron at puzzle solving and made me so frustrated and I loved every single moment of it.

I watch DLC supercuts purely to see the moment when they first drop in the raft, and look up at the interior of the Stranger.

I mean we’ve stared down a wave of sun mater from an imploding and then exploding star multiple times. Compared to that a wave of water from a broken dam is no big deal.

​@@crowsenpai5625Hearthians flew from the geyser spouts constantly. This is Tuesday to them

Well knowing them they dont want any information about what he did getting to any others of their species, the prisoner couldve written something down or hidden a reel in his virtual walls

"THEY BURNED DOWN HIS E-HOUSE" will live in my brain for a while thanks

@ramon1500 That image you find in their burned down house is actually the final image in the sequence the Owlks see when the finally reach the Eye. If you watch that slide reel at 18:55 you see the same skull, and the start of a plant growing through the eye hole. If the Owlks had finished watching the vision before freaking out, they would have saw that the Eye leads to a fresh start, and new life. From death, rebirth. Only the Prisoner bothered to keep watching. Only the Prisoner saw the truth. And painted that truth. But their fear blinded them all.

@@The_Game_Guru oooo now that's some neat lore

​​@@ramon1500considering how crappy the sim is, fire probably doesn't work; they remodeled it burnt. Btw that house is positioned in the same spot relative to the tower in both the dream and real world

I’m pretty sure the “pathing” favors the gorge being the first puzzle you solve completely ( I put that in quotes because it’s an open-world game, but the devs have always done a really good job of directing the player to intended points)

@@c4sualcycl0ps48 Either that or you figure out about the Owlks disappearing from the rave house when you hear them screaming and put those clues together, which gives you the out of bounds glitch and is the first clue you have that the glitches are required to bypass the codes, since it's the one that drops you right behind the second code. Either way it ends up working out along with the alarm bell pretty much always being the final one to be figured out (which works since it requires the most "final" glitch).

@@c4sualcycl0ps48 Nah. The reels show a timeline of events in 4 stages, so clearly you do them in order as the nature of the (time) loop intended. I think I found all the basic reels first, then realized how to enter the dream world from the exploded place. Then I explored the dream worlds until I found the hint about the hidden reels. Then I gathered all the hidden reels. Then I tackled area 1, then area 2, then area 3. Then I put together all 3 bugs to tackle area 4. Doing it this way also made the ship logs update in a very aesthetically pleasing manner.

It's worth noting that the place where you discover the locations of the hidden reels is already in the canyon. It's reasonable to think that players might go for that one first, since it's the closest when they get the information they need to access it.

It also removes the unsettling TREMBLE noise when a stranger is close to you

So let's be more specific: Reduced Frights slows down the enemies, makes them quieter, and you can now easily outrun them.

@@DoctorTex It also removes a lot of those extraneous sounds that he, correctly, says were just added to increase the horror ambience and don't actually mean anything.

oh. That's dumb. it affects the gameplay

​@@laupokeyeah but some could argue that the gameplay difficulty is not there to test your ability but rather to have you at the edge of your seat, if you need to lower the scaryness of the game is because you are easily fightened and are already at the edge of your seat without an enemie that can "kill" you so its okay

yeah, at the base game you have lots of texts to read, already in the dlc you need to watch the movies, with almost no text to read, but both mechanics works sooo good

Man, you just made me realize that each race is very distinct in how they communicate. The Hearthians are very sound-based, shown in their penchant for broadcasting instruments, their prominent ears, the fact they’re the only ones who speak outside of the Eye, and how they seem to prefer audio logs for taking notes.

It’s always fun to compare the 3 races. You can do it for space travel, communication, eyes, etc: Strangers: 2 eyes, communicate with Film Reels, travel using solar sails (with their green light technology) Nomai: 3 eyes, communicate with Text, travel using warp technology (by using black holes and white holes) Hesrthians: 4 eyes, communicate with audio logs, travel using thrusters (like humans)

The Hearthians have film technology. You can see them use film projectors in the home village. They sure as hell have movie nights there.

Second time I've seen "do Hearthians have TV channels?" Discourse

It's scary, but it's home... I miss my solar system when things made sense (Not like they aren't now)

I saw that message too just now while rewatching the video and it hit HARD :

This decade's WALL-E

@@quantumblur_3145??

rain world downpour

@@fourstones1860yo actually very good game and agreed

⁠@@fourstones1860there is dialogue in downpour tho

It's a horror-fakeout-horror

I never slow down-I speed up in the opposite direction!

learning to fly the spaceship is learning how hard you can hit things with it and still walk away. If you plot "speed of impact" vs "experience in Outer Wilds" you get an inverted bell curve.

​@@android19willpwn I hope there aren't any pilots in this fanbase

He knows how to do it, he simply chooses not to

@@quantumblur_3145 The first thing they teach you in pilot school is that any landing you can walk away from is a successful one.

Same I cannot believe that actually happened

you just need to get the prisoner before solanum

@@xenoncat21 you just activate the prisoner's grave ut don't finish it, I think

So proud of him ::)

Him going from getting jumpscared twice in a row at that point in the video to the hard cut of him sitting in that position for the next attempt had me dyin'!

Watching it in 0.25 speed is HILARIOUS

I just got there and my god I was laughing so hard I was hyperventilating.

Lmaooo bro same. Cracked me up too, cuz I even knew it was coming but I wasn't ready for it being that sudden 😂

Less grim take: They waited for him to fall asleep. Maybe even sedated him before closing the casket, so they didn't have to wait too long.

I think they just left em in there with the option to stay awake in a coffin or live in a slightly comfier prison

It's honestly amazing how he's simultaneously smart enough to figure out half the game and small brain enough to conclude turning off his lights to not anger the anglerfish

he can make some big brain conclusions, but other times i wonder if theres anything going on between those eyes.

@@VollkinSea Well, he was just so lost in thoughts about everything he had seen that some of the simpler things went completely over his head. Absolutely hilarious in the moment, but perfectly understandable in retrospect

Please improve

they will NEVER figure out how that shit happened

the dread of knowing theres something there

The base game is scary enough and there's no warning, so the warning at the beginning of the DLC has a much greater impact

They're not adorable lol, their paintings are terrifying

By jumping into the black hole at the Ash Twin project - it creates a duplicate of you, and if you don't jump into the black hole again, it destroys the fabric of spacetime (the same if you close the black hole before your scout if it already left the white hole).

In his base game playthrough he spawned a clone and then beat the game w/o breaking spacetime. So when he resumed his saved game for the DLC it was the loop with the clone.

Which secret is that?

@@tbotalpha8133 That the "dreamworld" is a computer simulation. The clips of him discovering the glitches and such are there but there's nothing of him finding out the simulation part.

@@Vulgarth1 It includes all the clips of him finding the intact slide-reels, though? The first one he finds is the "drop your lantern" secret, which is the most blatant reveal that the dream-world is actually VR.

​@@Vulgarth1I really don't see that as a twist. I'm so surprised so many people don't realise that they built a simulation right from the start

@@alexandrucalitescu5822 It's the whole spirit fire and druidic vibes aspect. You somehow forget all the technologically advanced hints like the metal space ships, wi-fi antlers, cloaking RGB crystals, etc.. The fire is mystical and we disassociate it with VR tech. Remaining in a dream world after death feels more natural if it's a spiritual world rather than a VR world. It's the perfect amount of misdirection. You're so engaged in figuring out the missing parts of the story that you don't stop to reconsider the small things that don't lead to new ship log entries.

No, cause you don't. It's an object that was sent before you collapsed the possibilities

my headcanon was always as soon as the scout was fired out it became quantum as it had no way to observe, so when it leaves the eye it is sent far into the future of all possibilities as it doesnt show any wear in the new universe billions of years later

​@@Cragliciousin my opinion the scout is the Eye of the new universe, as its older then the new universe itself

He has finished it

@@cindr_ Did he open the sealed vault

@@0Sirenn Did you watch the video

@@jasonkunstmann327 He hasn't posted any new outer wilds videos on his vods channel this week

@@0Sirenn Yet you could have answered your own questions if you just clicked the timeline towards the end of this video

You can tell this is not faked from watching the full length vods. After all, he did play through the base game so understanding that helps with understanding the DLC. This supercut shows the important and funny moments but he does ruminate on things inbetween the cuts where he's just walking and talking with chat. He pretty much only went in with the knowledge that the DLC had some horror elements and you can tell he was already dreading it before it even got to the horror sections. When he found the secret entrance and noticed there was one Owl person missing, he hyper-fixated on that detail and believed that there was still a living Owl creature stalking him. There are also plenty of things he never got around to actually understanding. He never understood that the sun sails were moving the Stranger out of range of the supernova or that it was the cause of the dam's sudden structural collapse until told by chat at the end. In fact, he thought the "living owl person that was stalking him" was sabotaging the dam. There were many times where I was pulling my hair cause he took multiple minutes (and on one certain puzzle, 2 HOURS!) to figure out certain parts or made some incorrect assumptions that ended up throwing him off for a while.

i got the meaning of all the reels on the first watch. this doesnt seem fake to me at all, i'm kinda baffled by that accusation lol

@@littlesnowflakepunk855 Most people making accusation of fake first playthroughs on youtube never seem to realize how much of a self own they're posting.

Nah bro ur just dum

@@marcosperezomg This cut also left out some funny moments, like when Pointcrow smacked into the Deep Space Satellite at full speed and destroyed his ship, near the start of the DLC before he found the Stranger. A shame, but sacrifices must be made I suppose.

Dude, Eelis just compiles supercuts of other people's playthroughs. Pointcrow is never going to see this comment. Also lmao you just couldn't resist making this political, could you?

Maybe go outside buddy

bros so mad lmao

This comment felt like an acid trip

What kind of drugs are you on my dude?
