14:16 technically it's backwards, hunter campain is the first one (without the DLC) then is survivor and then is monk. So you as hunter are reviving moon and then with the first playthrough you just killed moon so everything you maked as hunter is for nothing!!!!🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

11:50 don’t worry, that is just the call of the rain deer. It can also be heard after throwing a sporepuff so Deery is fine

i love how when you were talking about how much you loved the game, it was with the rain deer which is easily the most hated creature* in rain world

Seeing your lore chart is the kind of experience I wish I had with this game. I had the lore spoiled to me going in, but at least I got to experience the agony of passing a karma gate only to die before reaching a shelter.

11:15 This sequence doesn't need words to make us understand what makes it special. Anyone that played this game knows. The way the music kicks in when you get to the screen with the graffiti, the little stepping sounds, the background wind. The calmness of this scene compared to the chaos of the entire game. You are in danger for the entire game, and even in this place, the grass only wants to eat you, but for the first time, something else protects you. I will probably remember those few seconds forever.

"I refuse to believe this was caused by natural means" That's the thing, it wasn't

by the way, when you start the game, the hunter has a pearl in its stomach with special dialogue on it for moon to read when you revive her. its written by the same robot you see in the ascension cutscene!

After playing this game for 676 hours and talking to a lot of people on the rain world server, you are the only person I've ever seen who doesn't hate rain deer. Also you can actually throw spears upwards if you turn on remix or if you throw a spear into a slope while sliding. I also ate all the moon's neurons in my first playthrough and i don't regret it.

I hope you enjoy playing the DLC! Most of the campaigns end up being easier than hunter, due to the lack of a cancerous tumor on your back which will kill you given enough time.

The trick to killing vultures is the number 1 rule of rainworld: Don't fight fair. Stockpile spears, rocks, explosives, anything else of use in a spot where you plan to fight one, preferably an area where you can manuver around easily but forces the vulture to have to crawl through cramped spaces. Then every time it comes around a corner you pelt it with spears, rocks, etc. And then run away around another corner.

4:04 I mean a song in the game is literally called Bio-Engineering.

I love love love the style of editing you have going on, and how fast paced you make everything while showing genuine love towards the game. Also your voice is nice. Banger video!

>"I know for people who are fans of the game that's, probably getting a little annoying..." No, nah, nah man, this game is basically "Die, die, die and die again Simulator". We've been there. That's the fun, we believe you're having fun. :D

The name of the robot is No Significant Harassment

Your understanding of the lore is actually pretty solid, im glad you're even paying attention to it at all. 😅

Seeing a person playing Hunter for the first time brings me joy and the newbie complaining about the difficulty is just hysterical. Oh boy Hunter is the warmup people, it gets worst from here. And also if u need help on future hunter runs let me know

Hunter's campaign is a prequel to survivor's. The "true" route involves delivering Moon the slag reset key, (the green neuron you start with), and visiting 5p and enough echoes to max out karma so you can ascend in subterranean. There's actually something you can do to make it a little easier; on cycles you know you're going to visit an echo? Starve yourself. ...Progress wont be saved, but if you successfully make it to an echo you'll be sent back to your last shelter with saved progress. (Its been awhile, I think that was the basic gist of it? I used a guide to help with optimal routes and when to use this technique) The pearl you start with is also an important background plot exposition device that if you give to Moon, will give you a lot more story background - who Hunter is, who the robot cradling them in their ending screen is, and why they were sent to deliver that special green neuron to Moon. Hunter doing this all successfully, (and escaping his doomed cycles) leads to Moon being able to interact with the survivor and monk (and other future scugs) without being in a comatose state. Also, if you're feeling kind, you can steal some of those neuron flies from 5p to give to Moon. But in story canon, monk does this.....hunter already has their hands quite full with his mission already. Try to spot some of those colored pearls to bring to moon once 5p gives you the ability to understand though, you'll get some fascinating pieces of lore....Moon will also give you lore on various random items throughout the world if you drop them at her feet. Congratulations on hitting a good ending with Hunter! I wouldnt begrudge new players for skipping or failing out his campaign entirely, because that cycle limit is brutal (IIRC, it can be disabled in the remix options though!) Love the editing and the perspective and the format, hope you keep making more videos like this!

Dude, Rain World is such a special game, and I'm glad it's finally getting more attention. Keep up the great content, it's very enjoyable to watch your videos!

I was so confused for a bit how you managed to not even see The Wall on your first playthrough even though you did meet the Echo at the top of the wall... but I'm guessing after that you just passaged to Subterranean since you visited it before? (and in doing so ended up never seeing Chimney Canopy, Sky Islands, or Farm Arrays)

honestly its just weirdly melancholically happying to watch you, as a totally lost newbie, have the tenacity and mental strength to power through the difficulty and setbacks with your funny diagram on what you think the lore is, and the silly names u give to stuff like "boost lizard" its just watching someone new not immediately throw away and give up on the game failed to get my gf to enjoy it, she was super interested in the lore and my great time with it but she is way too "mentally weak" to power through the gameplay for the sweet nectar of lore at the end so its glad to see there are people who give rw a genuine shot and enjoy it, joining this tiny niche community

this guy is an editing genius. You just can not look away!

11:48 don't worry, that was just friend saying goodbye.

Oh man, I have "cleared" Hunter a few times (once making it only to 5P and another time where I completed the 5P delivery and reaching the end successfully) and loved it, but I actually haven't done a full run with all main tasks. Can't wait to watch this. EDIT: haha I can't believe you went back through Farm Arrays. Given how iffy the rain deer can be, I decided to go a *different* route on my run that took me down through Chimneys, Industrial, Outskirts, and Drainage... and let me tell you ALL of it was (mostly) fine except for god damn Industrial Complex. Was not expecting such a basic Survivor area to be as fucked up as Hunter Industrial Complex. My only solace is the knowledge that if I do a full Hunter run in the future, I can go to Drainage through Shoreline and avoid Industrial entirely.

The gun vultures did not evolve naturally, in fact, almost nothing in rain world did. Almost every creature in the game was designed and made by one of the giant supercomputer robot guys for a specific purpose(Not necessarily the 2 you meet in game, there are... a *LOT* more of them, but you don't ever meet them in game).

loving these rain world videos, hope you get through the dlc

Cool video, nice to see ppl giving hunter a try. The DLC kinda did hunter dirty, adding nothing new for him but instead giving some of his unique features like extra damage and a carnivore diet to other slugcats who have a much more attractive "infinite cycle limit" to this day "Within time" Remains as the rarest campaign related achievement, which kinda proves how little interest ppl have in beating hunter when the DLC content is way more begginer friendly.

I love your way of narrating your progression! Due to Rainworld being so long, it's hard to fit everything into one video and I think you found a really good solution.

Great video I love rainworld and watching videos like this on it can't wait to see you after you play downpour

Awesome video! Would love to see you tackle downpour!

These videos are incredible

I'll be waiting for another videos about this game! Especially about DLC!

The lore does have an explanation for birds with guns on their faces. Simply put, nature DIDN'T evolve them. They were designed by the ancients.

great video, Rain world is my favorite game and it is such a hard game but thats what makes it fun, it delivers on making you immersed and even more on actually making a survival game, you really have to survive nature, nature which is chaotic and unpredictable. things feel alive because in a way they kinda are, just trying to survive and keep themselves going, never once did I feel alone playing rain world. and as previously stated it delivers the ecosystem premise.

Wow, you are such a underrated youtuber, honestly I think u are one of the best, keep it up!

Awesome video. Really impressed with how you haven't spoiled the lore for yourself as I did immediately. Rain World is really good too, you should try it out!

11:00 Nah, i find all the ways you keept dying to very relatable. That's just exactly how i felt when i started hunter too, just a bunch of dying and everything being even more hard. Good to see even then u too suffered a lot in the survivor campaing (which i saw ur video when it kinda came out i think), you did kept playing, thats determination right there. Also i've noticed you indeed have been playing more campaigns so ill be 100% checking those out as soon as i've finish playing them myself cuz, the spoilers.

robot person - Nsh ppl call him significant harssment

I would love to see you play the Downpour scugs as well, they're all awesome :3

Just some things i'd like to say 3:13 killing creatures also gives a chance to something else spawn. 4:00 it is an artificial creature. 8:04 Also you can migrate species between areas, so if you have a hard area you theoratically bring in weaker creatures to either distract lizards or be your food (altough i don't know if when the creatures die they disappear aswell). 12:47 you still didn't meet the strongest version of the centipedes. Also, if you play Downpour (DLC) i recomend to be extra careful since it actually change not only vanilla rooms, area conections and spawns but in some cases it also change whole world (due to the different time periods). And lastly, I'm in love with your videos

Technically, nature _didn't_ make the King Vultures. Many of the species in Rain World were actually genetically engineered (at least originally) to either help the *Ancients* with something or just look pretty.

The hookshot vultures are called King Vultures. They're not natural, they were made by an ancient civilization presumably for the purposes of guarding important areas.

Started this campaign like two days ago... Also finished it yesterday.

the echos tried to escape from the infinite cycle of life but they where unable to get rid of there mortal vices so entered a kind of limbo stage between life and death

10:59 I'm pretty sure the average thoughts of a Rain World player is "I hate this game, it's unfair, it sucks, [Your choice of Nightmare] is too difficult... 10/10 great game". So don't worry about sounding too repetitive, suffering is natural.

I love Cyan Lizards. They are so funny, doing 360 No scopes to snag you. Or taking a spear and 360ing off screen.

If you do go through with the dlc, reaching Saint's campaign is absolutely worth. Like, genuinely felt almost as magical as vanilla.

4:13 aww thats adorable

For people who are glorified kindergarteners learning to share like me, scavengers and lizards are actually some of the best creatures to have on your side. Both like you a lot more if you save them, but scavengers are much more applicable as they get into trouble a lot. Just don’t spear them when the lizard uses them as a shield. They also like it when you give them stuff, scavengers like pearls and combat items, and lizards like corpses. Sadly getting on one’s side can be difficult as the other tends to need to be attacked to raise rep.

King vultures were most likely made by a iterator, it was five pebbles perhaps?

Dude a deer is a godlike being, even if you throw a FUCKING GALACTIC NUKE at it its still alive

basically a sequel… except it’s in the same game and is chronologically before the main game

4:08 The lore does have an explanation! (spoilers?) They probably didn't evolve those naturally! Practically ALL creatures in the game are either descendants, or are what are called "purposed organisms". Basically an organism that was artificially created using genetic modification for a specific purpose. By the time Looks to The Moon was built, almost all animals still present in the world were purposed organisms, or descendants of purposed organisms. It's likely the King Vultures (gun vultures) were created by iterators (the funky robot gods you encounter), though we don't know for certain.

I figured out how to throw spears straight up and straight down... then forgot again, lol. It was useful for shooting up at those flying things in Metropolis that you can sort of half-float when hanging onto.

I'm just excited for you to play artificer

Its the point, all of those creatures are made artificially

I also ate Looks to the Moon's neuron thing during my playthrough, but then when I went to the next screen, the little yellow guy told me to kill myself and I felt so much shame that I obliged

The red centipede spawned in my survivor playthrough because of the Lineage system. That was a good time

Oh no wait till he gets to downpour levels of difficulty.

Man i wish i could go back to not knowing anything about the game

WOOOO YEAA

For people who are fans of this game, we 1000% understand that frustration with dying repeatedly to BS does not mean you aren't enjoying the game.

in the lore all the creatures in rain world where engineered by the ancients, this means that the devs can do whatever crazy shit they want

Wait until you find the secret Slugcat in Rain World Downpour it will be "Super Easy" for sure :)

A FELLOW DEER LOVER! THEY ARE AMAZING

The “robot person” called an iterator, is named no significant harassment. Also, you were infected by the weird goo spider leg thing. Also called the rot.

You're not quite right on a few bits of the lore. For one, Moon isn't "sick" because 5P is drinking all the water. Him drinking all the water is what destroyed her superstructure, tore her home to shreds, and effectively lobotomized her. She's sick because her brains are scattered across the sea floor. The timeline order is Hunter > Survivor > Monk in base game. With the DLC it's Spearmaster > Artificer >>> Hunter > Gourmand > Survivor > Monk >>> Rivulet >> Saint, with more > meaning more time passed. And you're right! Those vultures aren't natural. They were made by 5P. Because he hates you, and all other life. So he made things to help clean up the wildlife so they stop crawling in and on his superstructure.

After my hundreds of hours in this game I fear nothing and fight everything including but not limited to: king vultures, red lizards, red centipedes, etc. it is very fun

Fun fact:if you die as hunter and then visit the room if said dead hunter as Gourmand, you may find he is taken over by Supercancer aka the rot

Fun fact: farm arrays is the intended route to subterranean, we all just avoid it like the plague though

you can throw spears up backflip, hold up, and pray that when you throw it it works for once 👍

10:58 Trust me, as a huge fan of this game I find your annoyances extremely relatable and endearing. Hell, I had to download a bunch of mods for the experience to be remotely enjoyable enough for me to continue playing. The plot and worldbuilding are engaging but the gameplay is so evil for NO REASON!

There's a neat little secret when you die from the "out of cycles" issue as the Hunter and then start a new campaign as the Gourmand...

09:59 once you knock off the mask of a vulture it will never despawn and will prioritize killing you no matter what. You probably knocked it's mask off and then came back to the same area later

If you haven't watched the povketz rainworld videos I would highly recommend them. His words onthe "king centipede": "face off against the usual 9 volt battery with legs and exoskeleton but it's broken into the local nuclear power plant and has enough energy to kill God, your will to live, and everything in between". Great videos anyone who hasn't seen them should definitely check it out

Impossible mode : every ememy is tripled.

i think hunter is a pretty fun experience, but on the first time was paintful, i knew about moon and pebbles so i chose to do these obejctives on the first attempt and end up dying when i was already in subterranean but at cycle -1 or - 2, i just didn't expected that the reason of my death would be fall damage

The vulture without a face is demasked it happens when you hit his neck

I was only able to ascend with The Hunter after beating the game with all the other slugcats first. At first I thought it was impossible, but now I think it was super easy, you don't even have to visit all the echoes!

you can game scavs into being friends with you by just giving them pearls. a couple of those will give you cheiftan in like 10 seconds

10:00 that vulture was missing its mask because you made it lose the mask by hitting its face with a spear (maybe by accident) which makes you able to get the mask but as a consequence the vulture will follow you until he kills u all the time until u kill it.

4:10 robot birds... it's as simple as that

That sound was your deer fren.

That's what she said.

‏‪10:00‬‏ the vulture was missing it's mask because you knocked it off him at some point, which makes it hate you and follow you, which is why it kept showing up

I love hard mode

perma-dying right before five pebbles hurts so much

Bro ran away with Moon's Neurons 🤣

ah reindeer... you call it friend, I call it enemy. An animal that will make or brake your run if they deside to not show up for entire cycle.

1:24 this is funny, considering 5P telling you to "go west, past the farm arrays...", so you propably should end up going this way.

y'know he's new to the game when he says he loves the Rain Deer...

A giant robot made gun birds

Funny thing is that I went throughout all of the areas as monk, after seeing FB, though they are definitely easier as monk.

4:05 because it DIDN’T. Thanks Pebbles. ):

Watch the Daszombes lore video and this game will turn into an 11/10

Btw im sure someone has told you this already, but the maskless vulture that chased you was a normal vulture that was enraged with you knocking off its mask

He he he, get the DLC. You will know true pain then.

14:01 Already mentioned by other commenters but timeline-wise wise the hunter is the earliest in the timeline (not including the DLC though. Its not the earliest if you include the DLC slug cats.) Don't want to spoil some things though even though I've yet to play hunter and I've spoiled like 99% of the lore for myself, but I think its explained somewhere the Hunter's backstory/purpose.

Farm arrays is required in base game. Downpour adds additional paths to subterranean.

omg.... i have never seen some one so um... base in this game it feels like you tried to play terraria without the wiki i abused the thing but you, YOU you did HUNTER without a inch of help its amazing seeing some one so lacking in assistance in rain world make it so far if i got the chance, i would do it all without the wiki i wish i had the dedication to find a games lore or dare i say RAIN WORLDS LORE on my fucking own just like idk good job?

please also make videos about ther downpour scugs and mod regions
