Quinneapolis
[outer wilds] time to go to space
Quinneapolis
first on the docket:
Quinneapolis
get onto the interloper while it's approaching the sun rather than on the way back out
Quinneapolis
and then the autopilot launched me DIRECTLY into the sun
Quinneapolis
well that didn't accomplish anything
Quinneapolis
maybe the front side
Quinneapolis
around the cracky bit?
Quinneapolis
I'll try that
Quinneapolis
I have unlimited lives
Quinneapolis
HACKER VOICE I'M IN
Quinneapolis
and murdered by ghost matter
Quinneapolis
I need to figure out what the fuck ghost matter is
Quinneapolis
I thought it was those little crystals on the ground but apparently not
Quinneapolis
I'm going back to giant's deep
Quinneapolis
I found the entrance to the workshop
Quinneapolis
learned some very interesting things about ash twin
EsperBot
There’s a ghost matter tutorial on Timber Hearth if you missed that
Quinneapolis
I did
Quinneapolis
is it in the starting town
knotsferatu
yeah! its right by the entrance to the space training cave
EsperBot
Yeah
Quinneapolis
I learned about ghost matter
Quinneapolis
so far every single route inside the interloper seems to lead to ghost matter
Quinneapolis
OKAY
Quinneapolis
I learned a lot
Quinneapolis
- I think ghost matter destroyed the nomai civilization
Quinneapolis
- The Probe Tracking Module is in Giant's Deep's core
Quinneapolis
- There's a model explaining how to get there but it's in the Southern Observatory on brittle hollow
Quinneapolis
- Never once in all my research have I been on Brittle Hollow without IMMEDIATELY getting super lost
Quinneapolis
I found a route marked "Southern Observatory" and it put me on a gravity beam that literally just dumped me into a black hole
Quinneapolis
EVERY fucking sign on brittle hollow is a lie
Echo
In their defense, chunks of the planet do get sucked into a black hole a lot.
Echo
They were probably accurate at the time they were written.
Quinneapolis
I went right there
Quinneapolis
this is the planet in its absolute best condition!
Quinneapolis
it's fucking unnavigable
Quinneapolis
of COURSE the white hole station drops me back at the north pole
Quinneapolis
when I am trying to get to the south pole
Quinneapolis
I have spent HOURS trying and failing to get anywhere near south observatory
Quinneapolis
I finally got close, only to end up on a rock with no way off other than to fall into the fucking black hole again
Quinneapolis
brittle hollow is EASILY my least favorite planet
Princess Emily
it looks EXTREMELY COOL in like
Princess Emily
aesthetic
Princess Emily
and maybe theory
Princess Emily
but a pain in the BUTT in practice
Quinneapolis
it's 3D Platforming: If You Make One Mistake You End Up Outside The Solar System: The Planet
Quinneapolis
Here's a spoiler I want:
Quinneapolis
Is landing on Sun Station necessary to beat the game
Princess Emily
I looked it up
Princess Emily
do you want the full spoilers
Princess Emily
(not story stuff but like there's a bit more that might be relevant to ur question)
Princess Emily
okay no nm
Quinneapolis
There should be a yes or no answer to that question
Princess Emily
No, you do not need to land on the sun station
Quinneapolis
I love to hear it
Quinneapolis
anyway I follow the sign that says "Southern Observatory" and it leads to a network of gravity beams that all funnel into one route, with no way to go backwards, pointed directly at the south pole
Quinneapolis
like the most obviously "this is the way to go" route ever
Quinneapolis
and it ends on a rock with no way back and no way forwards
Quinneapolis
nothing to do but to fall into the black hole
Quinneapolis
OKAY
Quinneapolis
I did the observatory
Quinneapolis
and let me tell you, Nomai guy who insisted this was the only way to explain the phenomenon
Quinneapolis
you could have said literally two words
knotsferatu
the southern observatory is a huge pain ill be real a tip start it early in a cycle because it gets very difficult to get into as hollow falls apart
Quinneapolis
yeah I was doing that
Quinneapolis
I just
Quinneapolis
didn't see the gravity crystals that look almost identical to the light fixtures
