The Mission Of The Spikey Slugcat
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 03. 2023
- Its time for my playthrough of the next Rain World: Downpour slugcat, The Spearmaster. This cat plays in a very unique way, being able to create spears from their own body at any time, but requiring them in order to survive and consume food. They will also have quite the dangerous world to traverse through in order to fulfill their mission.

Imagine the symbiosis between scavvies and spearmaster in a real world scenario. Scavvies get free spears and spearmaster gets to feed off of what the scavvies are fighting.
Well, Spearmaster can only leech from LIVING creatures
@@gaminggeckos4388 so he gets to feed off of what the scavvies are fighting WHILE he protects them
@@isaquedopao6667 but then the scavs just get in the way, plus they'll deal damage to the prey causing it to die sooner and therefore grant less food
@@gaminggeckos4388 but if the lizard or vulture grabs the spearmaster the scavengers can save them and vice versa
@@gaminggeckos4388 and i guess you do got a point
Spearmaster: "Stop giving me your hardest battles!"
Seven Red Suns: "You are my strongest soldier."
Later...
Artificer: "GIVE ME HARDER BATTLES"
Five Pebbles: "What the fuck?"
The duality of slugcat
So true though
PFFT- so true though.
shoutouts to the person in chat who saw skurry spearing the neuron flies during lttm and said "slowest most unethical lobotomy of all time"
they werent wrong
i really love that when Moon gives Spearmaster the Mark of Communication, she doesn't send them Fucking Flying like Pebbles does with the other slugs, it's like she's gently patting them while Pebbles is throwing the square at them at high speed
I've only played through Spearmaster once so I never saw what happens if you actually go to Pebbles before Moon!! Insane how there's so much content in this DLC that most players are going to miss
like hearing half the songs ingame 😔
I have never thought about going to Moon first, what happens?
moon gives you the mark of communication and when you go to pebbles you can see what the pearl says@@nickhoude21
@@nickhoude21Moon will give you the mark and detect the pearl stored inside of you, but She doesn't read or remove it. I think what is more interesting by going this route is what Five Pebbles has to say, since you're given The mark before encountering him
@@nickhoude21 You get to listen to 5P's rageout. Bonus points, if you can get your hands on the pearl before he kicks you out, you CAN bring it to Moon. Who gives you ANOTHER quest to use it for as she'll talk about it. She then overwrites it, and asks you to bring it to another location to insert into a communications broadcaster. She gives her last words to the public iterator broadcast network with it. Basically right after Spearmaster's campaign is her fall and collapse.
42:15 I actually teared up. This is moon’s structure, in all its glory. It’s beautiful. It’s so full of life. Man, this game hits me in the feels
Just saw the ending, now I’m crying
exterior 2
FlySkyHigh did such an exceptional job with that thumbnail, it’s some of the most metal RW art I’ve seen in ages. Well done!!!
I will second this. It looks badass
Right?
Metal?
Metal pipe?
Metal pipe falling?
gosh i love how much downpour has fleshed out moon and pebbles, their story is so tragic 😭
Pebbles but he’s just Zuko with a worse moral compass and immortal
@@wildfire9280I don't see how they are similar at all
26:18 The way Spearmaster leaned back makes it look like they actually programmed him to be afraid of Five Pebbles
I mean, he knows what Iterators are capable of, and his 2 feet away from one that looks very mad and just ragdolled a thing out of his chest, so I think his right to be afraid
I am pretty sure it’s just instinct
@@HYDROCARBON_XDI think they mean the game devs, not Seven Red Suns.
tbf Pebbies did just rip a pearl out of his chest lol
Pebbles *did* just forcibly rip out spearmaster's balls
"Rain world ai is so smart!"
*the ai in question* :
*s p i n n i n g l i z a r d*
SPEEN
fun fact: spearmaster was the first slugcat to arrive at rainworld, thats why everythings isn't crumbled or how shoreline is waterfront facility
My new headcanon is that every spear we use with subsequent slug cats originally came from spearmaster
@@georgerobins4110 I love that. I will accept that as my cannon too
Then why in arti's campaign waterfront facility is still not broken? Maybe moon didn't fully collapsed in arti campaign?
I was just lamenting at how I had to wait for the next installment of Skurry’s Slugcat Adventures. My prayers (and boredom) have been answered!
man same - i was god damn craving for new skurry's videos on rain world
i even got so bored that i rewatched their other videos on this game a couple times
*insert parody of a ceebeebies show's intro*
ah yes a skugcat
@@I-like-cows nooooo don’t bully me!!!!!! DX
@@selfdestructivecat4922 *don't
Was I the only one who couldn’t stop laughing when blue started spinning too?
edit: 21:48 for reference
No, definitely one of the best moments from this playthrough! xD
Greatest plot twist of ALL time.
it was just trying to follow there brother
I think I died of whiplash
@@Morphybrinn XD* "xD"
I love the universal Spearmaster experience of being stuck on Chimney Canopy farming birds to get to the Wall
God I cannot wait for Skurry’s reaction to Saint playthrough. I hope they do the full ending.
Wait, are there multiple Saint endings?
Big spoiler:
I hope scurry goes to pop moon and pebbles
I hope everyone's brushed up on their Rainworld lore, otherwise it's a lot of difficulty for not much reward. Worth it if you're deep in the lore, though.
I also hope Skurry tries the "funny" slugcat, even if they give up on it very quickly.
Although imagine if they got all the way to the ending with it.
@@sycamorph technically most slugcats have multiple endings but saint has a more fleshed out version of an ending if you do some extra stuff
Seeing this, I definitely think that Spearmaster should be played after Rivulet. Luckily you get that choice. The way that the end of Rivu is set up just perfectly leads into Saint I think.
You can even see Rivu's breath after their ending, implying it's getting colder. Some areas like moon's city and comms array have snow aswell.
It leads into it.
But I can see why they ordered it from difficulty.
Either way, Saint is honestly nuts with its mechanics and story. Can't wait to see you play it
You just said spearmaster should be played after rivulet. Do you mean before? I agree if so
@@j-manplushadventures9173 Yeah that's what I meant. It's ultimately up to player choice, but I think it's better story wise
@@ultima5720 I agree with you. Personally I think it would have been better narration-wise to first play spearmaster and visit moon while she was still almost fully functioning: it creates a painful realization of how grand she was and what was lost, without knowing if she will ever really get better; and then you play rivulet which is the quest to give a little bit of moon's power back. I feel like playing in this order makes spearmaster 's story more poignant, which was a bit lacking if you play it right after rivulet. Anyway yeah I agree lol
it goes: Spearmaster, Artificer, Gourmand, Rivulet, Saint (Monk, Survivor, and Hunter are in there somewhere)
@@HornAndHaloWrestling Assuming you're counting timeline wise, Hunter goes before Gourmand, and Monk and Survivor take place soon after Gourmand.
The lore on each of these has just been increasing. Gourmand was just chunky slug cat finding friends. Artificer was a tale of revenge and regret but had no real impact. Rivulet was showing us what happened afterwards and how we helped Moon. And Spearmaster was a message dilivery for the iteraters. What’s going to happen with Saint??
@@Pigeon_loll that challenge level is not canon
@@HornAndHaloWrestling oh ok
After artificers time in the timeline, there are no more scavenger on the wall. The fact that it's a pretty good habitat for them and artificers ending makes me believe artificer had something to do with their absence
After all of the normal slugcats are done with you have the hidden slugcat and the dating sim to beat
Game over *G A M E R*
Finally, grape flavored slugcat
So is gourmand fanta and artificer Coca-Cola?
@@Boooiiiiii arti is cherry coke
@@Boooiiiiii arti is dr pepper
@@Boooiiiiii arti is Selecto
@@Boooiiiiiidon't be silly. Gourmand is cream soda
the reason hunter enemies are in artificer and spear master is because they chronologically come before hunter
the saint playtrough is going to be crazy, story wise
but they pretty much don't know anything about rain world lore when they didn't know what cycles iterators were talking about lol. this is gonna be a disaster
THE ART IS SO FREAKING GOOD
It’s a small thing but I really like the titles for these slugcat videos. I wonder what the last one will be
The pilgrimage of the holy slugcat maybe
Scug
Pilgrimage is PERFECT they gotta use that word
@shortcake you read my mind
@@shortcake9965 The Pilgrimage of the Pacifist slugcat?
Now, here's my favorite slugcat! Just a spiky fella, bringing a hopeless request to a god. Now, i must say that i haven't played spearmaster yet, but i am extremely exited for it!
As a quick note, i will list some of my spearmaster headcannons >:)
Their actual name is Seven little stars, Named by seven red suns.
They wear some form of Poncho/robe, which suns made sometime after they returned
Spearmaster's personality is very Calm, but also somewhat emotional
They yelp as vocalizing
Not sure about yelping (or any vocalization whatsoever), seeing as idrk if Spearmaster even has a mouth in the first place
Spearmaster has no mouth do to him being a purposed organism and I guess suns hated mouths
@@chillknight3940 Maybe the tail spikes are really the mouth that’s been moved down there, and the needles are repurposed teeth…
Possibly he could 'yelp' through his nose, but that's unlikely too
@@gaminggeckos4388 The spikes are from an organism that has been passed down through the generations. It's a whole separate entity, which also kind of makes spearmaster and all his ancestors like a siphonophore. It lives inside the tail and shares nutrients with the spearmaster.
I really liked Spearmaster's campaign cuz combat is one of the most fun aspects of the game to me. My only complaint is that I wish SRS gave Spearmaster a little bag or pouch so I didn't have to use 1 hand to hold my stomach pearl for half the game. My dumbass went through Exterior, and having to kill like 20 lizards/spiders and avoid snappy birds was really annoying with only 1 spear.
my dumbass made it all the way to moon without the pearl and didnt realize i needed it
now idk what ima do cuz im on switch version and cant just spawn it in
When you realize Spearmaster is tech support for the Iterator Discord Server.
spoiler
I love how in the end we get to see the scug return to the iterator. It's happy to be home and they both seem sorrowful about what is soon going to happen.
SRS is happy too, they like their little messenger
Every day I await for when scurry plays the secret slugcat after saint and it is pure suffering.
I can't wait to see Skurry's reaction to... honestly, all of the Saint campaign, dude's fucked up
10:35
quote №587: I would never say weird things
skurry: noooo i took drugs
39:09 the best transition ever existed fr
Oof, they didn't go to pebbles after moon, straight to communications.
that thumbnail art goes absolutely insane
38:38 why did I have in this room 3x more spiders, orange lizards and birds than Skurry
iterators are sentient colossal robots with their minds wired up to discord
the way FP rips the pearl out of spearmaster is always so painful for me. like wtf why are you abusing that poor slug sir?? and the way Moon gives spearmaster the ability to hear is alwo much gentler than what Pebbles usually does
One of my favorite slugcats. I have been waiting for this.
Edit: the ending made me sad.
oooh! some sea slugs can manufacture their own spikes so… seaslugcat?
as someone who did spearmaster first, i can confirm that CC is hell on spearmaster because there are like 50 king vultures
Seven Red Suns told Five Pebbles about how to do something, which they messed up and contracted the Rot through that; SRS knew beforehand that something like that could happen. Am I getting that right?
Feels like I really need to rewatch this entire series, since I only started trying to understand the story this year, but that feels like important Lore to me; unlike how it was treated here.
From survivor pearls you learn most of RW's story. The DLC adds bits and pieces to make it have more fluff. In survivor you learn that SRS told FP how to use genetic engineering to give himself admin access to himself (which he would use to kill himself). The process took too much water and moon interrupted him out of panic at a critical moment, creating the rot. FP trying to flush out the rot took even more water and so moon's structure was destroyed.
@@cooly1234Yayy glad you elaborated for them :)
The rot was originally a form of targeted cancer- not unlike radiation used in chemotherapy, used to kill specific cells in his body. Since he is forbidden from harming himself, he exploited a loophole by creating an organism to do it for him.
This series is my favourite thing on CZcams right now :D thank you Skurry!
Spearmaster quest starts in a timeline same as the other slugcats BUT BEFORE ALL OF THEM he is the first one to appear in the city
every time art of the sligcat is shown my tripophobia is triggered
does skurry know about squidcada flight?
39:45 this is the 2nd reason spearmaster is best at parkour.
The first requires a squidcada.
I needed this today, thank you so much Skurry
tbh making scavs hate you as spearmaster just makes for great catering
Man, these videos are my absolute favourites
Your art for this game is absolutely incredible
it's not theirs, check the description
@@altzeus8740 Oh ok
Haven't watched the video yet but that thumbnail ART HOT DAMNNNNNN it's insanely good
Let’s go more rain world Content, I’ve been waiting finally finished my Gormans run personally loving the update. Glad I found it through this guy’s.
moon just casually opening wikipedia-
the spearmaster art after beating the campaign is honestly IRLA relationship goals
I really like this series, and eagerly waiting the Saint journey!
Spear master dinner: "Did everyone get a quil?" "Yes" *Spears a bunch of squidcadas* "Mmm, delicious!"
This is not only a great video, but it also has an amazing thumbnail! I m screenshooting it
I love Spikey Slugcat ❤
Maybe you can hear the transmissions because the needles are tv aerials
the rainbow birds look like they have flandre scarlets wings from touhou
Before watching- it’s finally here :D
After watching- welp that was fun but kinda sad cuz we see everything happening and how looks to the moon collapsed
Man the art of theese vids is incredible
I was gonna rewatch an old skurry video but they uploaded rn :)
Holy sht the thumbnail’s sick o.0 GJ to whoever worked on it!
Edit: not able to edit the actual comment but I did notice the thing in the description so GJ FlySkyHigh!
Ah yes, Chimney. I finally escaped the sky bridge shelter after using a couple starvation cycles (to preserve karma). Ended up collecting seven masks (three kings) there.
When i first saw spear master (i was half asleep and half watching) i thought he just generated spears with the power of his mind
This is such an awesome thumbnail holy!
I love how he calls the mushrooms drugs, and I’m just getting into rain world so idk much info about it, this video was entertaining to watch I have to say ^^
YOOOOO SKURRY RAIN WORLD, I was waiting for this one
This episode is great I can't wait for the next
your rainworld playthroughs is what made me finally start playing the game because it looks so fun
cant wait for skurry to play the easter egg/kaizo slugcat
I really love your videos
What a spiky little cat
why is no one talking about the smooth transition at 39:10
Spearmaster becomes a porcupine and becomes floating and starts floating. Because it pokes out of every single pour of his body
thats the coolest thumbnail i have seen
love your vids skurry
I know nothing about this game I just know that enemies can spin
Fun fact: the gate that spearmaster came out of is home to the western intake system. This can be accessed as gourmand, survivor, and monk (and basically and other slugcat that can access Outer Expanse)
can rivulet access it?
Am I the only one who thinks all of Spearmaster's internals are just in the tail?
I spent so long in chimney canopy I actually decided restarting the campaign was easier than continuing that one.
I can't believe I'm not the only psychopath who did that lmao. And it worked for both of us so wtf.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the thumbnail art
So wholesome!
It makes me happy knowing I’m not the only one that gets stuck for cycles on end going to wall through chimney canopy
can't wait for saint playthrough
14:55 I spy with my eye the Saint. (Hi enough karma to go through the beginning gate.)
The first time i played spearmaster i tossed the pearl off The Wall cuz i thought i didnt need it anymore and as soon as my friend told me "no hey you need that" i couldnt get it to respawn in a shelter
So i just went and ascended instead lol
He feeds by SPEARING OTHERS WITH HIS NEEDLES
Yo the thumbnail's really cool! Kinda like a epic anime fight XD
Slug cats my beloved
Spikey must be the better evolution during that period because of the super structures
technically there are 3 cats left... but one of them is hidden!
bro i just got rainworld and I got recommended this video immediately
You’re in for a hell of a treat
Thank you for video
Next up: the path of the fluffy slugcat
let's go, new rain world video
15:27 i also made enemies with the scavs during my spearmaster run, got stuck in the gutter for several hours until i gave up on that run
instant dopamine upon seeing this uploaded
love your video
The scavenger economy be trembling after spearmasters shenanigans
cyan lizard: "I live in Spain without the a"
alright, Game Theory:
Ever since Artificer, the scavs have not trusted any slug cats. :(
Spearmaster comes before Artificer, and Monk is on pretty good terms with the scavs before even meeting any. Plus, Survivor and Gourmand are completely neutral with the scavs, so they aren't quite trusted but aren't exactly on bad terms.
i love how relaxing your voice is :)
