Rain World Gameplay
We're a lonely Slugcat in some dystopian future, and Rain World isn't a friendly place! R/rainworld: Subreddit for the game 'Rain World' I playing the game's arena mode an noticed something, the way that creatures die in this game is so dynamic and realistic in the way that creatures range from going limp to twitching for a few seconds.
Vultures
Disadvantages
Vultures are hard to kill, and can easily snatch a slugcat that has nowhere to hide. And once they have you in their jaws, there is a very slim chance of them letting go. They appear in in Industrial Complex, Garbage Wastes, Shoreline, Chimney Canopy, Sky Islands, and Farm Arrays, so they are very common!
Advantages
Luckily, vultures only appear where the sky is exposed, so it can be easy to avoid them. Vultures also can't travel through pipes or small spaces, though their long neck can reach into a tunnel the pluck any creature inside of it out. Vultures also wear a mask that can be knocked off with a spear that hits near the mask, usually above it. The mask can scare away all lizards except green and black lizards. I also for killing the vulture, I recommend getting a explosive spear and a normal spear, throw the explosive spear at the vulture's body, once it hits and explodes, hit the vulture as much as you can with the normal spear.
Advice
Try to avoid vultures by hiding in small spaces or staying in areas that aren't exposed to the sky.
Brother Long Legs
Disadvantages
These are creatures that made me die a lot. They have serveral tentacles that can grab onto your slugcat. The only way you can have them let go is by throwing a rock at the tentacle that is holding onto you but it will most likely try to grab you again. Hard to kill, which I found out you can do by hitting the core a lot, but the core is the part that eats you. They can also use tunnels to travel and are found in the lowest levels of Garbage Wastes.
Advantages
Pretty horrible.. One advantage is that they aren't as bad as the Daddy Long Legs, which is like the bigger more horrible kind. Brother Long legs are blind so they can only find you if you make noise or they feel you with their tentecles. Spearing one of their tentecles will disable it and make it so that the tentecle can't grab anything.
Advice
You don't have to go to the lowest levels of Garbage Wastes at all, so try doing that to avoid Brother Long Legs, for they don't come out of the room they spawn in often.
Leviathan
Disadvantages
The leviathan is unkillable and will happily eat any slugcat who goes into the water while it's there. The leviathan can and will prove to be a annoying obstacle if you need to cross a wide streach of water. The leviathan only appears in the waters of the Shoreline.
Advantages
The leviathan is also built completely for water, so getting onto land will always stop the leviathan in its tracks. And you'll most likely spot the leviathan emerging from the deep waters, due to its huge size.
Advice
Try to flee to land if your caught in the water with a leviathan. A stragety I have is to go underwater, press the jump button, go back to the surface and than do everything else again. Also works for if your being chased by anything and your in deep water.
Miros Bird / Scissorbird
Disadvantages
Miros birds are very fast, almost impossible to run away from them. You can kill them, but they spawn in groups, which you'll have to deal with if you decide to attack. They have long necks like the vultute, so they to can pluck your slugcat out of tunnels. I've personally only seen them in Memory Crypts, but I've heard that they also spawn in Subterranean.
Advantages
They are also large like the vultures so they won't be able to get you in tunnels, but make sure the tunnel is deep enough so that their long necks can't reach inside it and pluck your slugcat out. The miros birds are also blinded by blue glowing plants that you might see growing in Memory Crypts, and possibly Subterranean. You'll know if the miros birds are coming by the sound of them running, which you'll know when you hear it. Also you can climb poles to avoid them but this isn't the best idea.
Advice
When you hear them running, hide in the closest tunnel. If you can't see any tunnels close by then try a very tall pole. Remember to stand on the top of the pole!
Daddy Long Legs
Disadvantages
Daddy Long Legs. Pretty much brother long legs but are bigger, have more tentacles, and are harder to kill than the brother long legs. There isn't much to say about these, for they are a lot like brother long legs. You can also see smaller daddy long legs that are stuck to the walls in Unfortunate Developement, and you can see some when going into Unfortunate Developement. Daddy Long Legs also appear in The Leg and The Underhang.
Advantages
I really don't know.. they're blind like the brother long legs but seem lazier, sending off a long tentecle to feel around where they heard the sound. The ones I found in Unfortunate Developement seem to be the most laziest, simply sitting around with their tentacles streched out to see if anything edible might fly into them. Also spearing one of their tentecles will disable it so that it'll be harmless, like the brother long legs.
Advice
Try not to touch their tentecles, make noise, or really do anything that involves daddy long legs, other than running away from them.
Reindeer/ Rabbit Walker
Advantages
The only passive creature in this guide. Reindeer spawn in Farm Arrays and will let the slugcat hold onto its antlers. The reindeer also help crossing patches of red worm grass, for they can't get pulled down. You can call in a reindeer by throwing these yellow sacks, that I call puffballs. To get on the reindeer's antlers easily, you need to place down another puffball, which the reindeer will eat and lower its antlers for the slugcat to grab.
Disadvantages
The wait for a reindeer to come and let you ride across the worm grass can be very long, and when you do ride on its antlers, predators like vultures can always swoop down for your poor, powerless slugcat. You can also accidentally fall off the reindeer's antlers and into the worm grass. The reindeer, sadly, won't immediatly kneel down for you to grab onto its antlers again for it to pull you out. Oh and sometimes they'll squish your poor slugcat.
Advice
You'll need reindeer to get across worm grass. Don't blame them for their disadvantages, its mostly the slugcat who's getting squashed and/or eaten. Also I find riding on the reindeer's antlers rather calming.

You can though discover other area but this one is the easiest.-It will lead you to the waste and then reveal at yourself Moon. Secondaries Bringing Memories Back to MoonIf you bring 1-4 neurons to Moon (depending if you ate one at her place), you will fix her memories, this is a long journey and neurons can only be gathered from Five Pebble area. You cannot use Passage as it will not transport the neurons. The easiest way from five pebble to the shore is the wall - Canopy - industrial - wastelands.
Warning, Pebble kill you the third time you go in his room so you need to bring 2 neuron the first time you visit and 2 other the second time as well. No more chance.Update: You can actually come back from pebble to the leg and all the way to the shore.
Seems quicker but kinda difficult. That way you can bring moon more neurons (but 4 is all what she needs)Discovering the lore with MoonDid you find any color pearl during you playthrough?

Those monkey like humanoids are plenty in this world and lives in tribe. They love pearl and will exchange things for it especially the merchant wich will give you rare item not easily findable. If you don't pay at the toll they will attack you on sight (same if you grab pearl at their tree).Hopefully they help you killing other creatures and do warning menace before starting to hunt you if you upset them.
They also have tendencies to steal spears, pearl, etc if it is on their path (even in shelter)skavenger Ia explained by Primate (dev)First off, each Scavenger (and also pretty much every other creature in the game) has its own individual opinion of you, in addition to your general reputation across the tribe. So you can trade well with them and have a tribe generally like you, but if there is a Scav that previously had some beef with you, they might be more trigger happy than the others.Secondly, the Scavenger tribes have leaders (you can probably tell) that can influence how the nearby Scavs act.
If they feel threatened they can rile up even otherwise friendly Scavs.And lastly but probably more of what you are actually asking (sorry!), a lot of the way they interpret threats is by the players posture and movements. If you are holding a spear or some other weapon, that will make them feel threatened. If you are moving quickly and especially jumping towards them, that will put them on edge, etc etc. If they are acting aggressively, the safest way to act around them is to drop what you are holding and bow down, acknowledging their control of the area! Predators- Lizards: there is a lot of variety of Lizards. Each color got specific rules on what they can do or not.Green one: Are resilient but that all.
They can do a quick dash nearby but cannot climb wall. They doesn't fear as much the vulture mask. Pure green are beefy and got lot of hp, they get angry pretty fastPink/Purple: Can climb wall and poles.They are smarther than usual Lizards The Purple ones are more tenacious.Blue/cyan: can climb wall on background, they got a little tongue to grab their preyOrange/Yellow: Cannot climb background but are really quick on tunnels. Once one of them see you, they all do thanks to their antenna, and they hunt as a pack.White: Cameleon Lizards, they can hide in the background, have a huge tongue and often stay near a pipe.
If you got grabbed, don't surrender yet, you can still get out. Those Lizard are really afraid of vulturesBlack: Mole Lizards, they can't see but they have a good ear. Found only on really dark place.Special: Salamander:Lizards that are able to swim.Special, Red Boss Lizards: This Lizards appear late game. And when you hunt life in an area long enough for it to appear. He can split at you from a distance that slow you Down.
It is extremely fast and dangerous.general types: You can trick Lizards into entering doorways, if you go back through the door as they chase you, you will simply squeeze past them leaving them in the room behind you. Their head are hard, aim for the body. Throw things at them to knock them out and made their back avalaible for a spear attack.- Vultures: Giant flying birds that hunt on the sky.
You can wear off their mask but be ready to accept that vultures will got a grundge against you for that. Counter: when music start and you see a shadow on the background, a vulture is coming, try to hide somewhere. They are pretty fast but if you throw something at them they might release you, you need to be quick though. Use red Vines tree to stuck them and buy time.- BrotherLongLegs and DaddyLongLegs: Brown ones (brother) are located on the waste, blue one (daddy) are on the area near and in Five pebble. They sense their prey nearby and will try to find them with their tentacules. Their whole body is just a giant mouth and will absorb you at once. Counter: they react easily to sound and movement.
Throw an item on the other direction you want to go. Hiting a tentacule removes his grasp.Miros Bird: Scissor raptor looking bird that run endlessy in search of prey or fighting each other. They are found in memory crypt and subteraneran. Counter = hide if you can't i hope you got something to blind them (blue mushroom for exemple).Big Eel / Leviathan: Found in deep water that huge machine will try to eat you if you get close. Plant likePoleMimic: They act like a poles until creatures touch them. They will then hold into their prey trying to eat them. Counter = Look at the map, poles are noted but not the plant.
You can throw item at them to remove them for short time.TentaclePlant: Found on water areas for the most part, they doesnt move until they sense something moving nearby. Counter= thow item on water, they will react to it, giving you time to move. Give them food so they go away for short time. If you move slowly you can go close enough to them then dive under water past them, they will not have time to grab you.
If you are slow enough you can even pass them without diving.Worm Grass: Hard to notice at first, they are little thingy that will hold on you hard until you got no energy left. Counter = don't let most of them grab you, use other path, if you got enough speed you can dive under them if there is tunnel. If there is huge red one, it means you need a rabbit deer to pass through. Else if you quick enough it is easy to pass little blue one. The map are from monkeysarentdonkeysThe map are now all done, visit this steam guide to access it.OutskirtsThe first area you begin with. It is not really hard and you will be able to survive easily.

He especially enjoys game-making, believing it to be one of the most diverse creative mediums out there.- James Primate:Composer for numerous game soundtracks including Junk Jack X and Gnomoria, James is also one half of Chiptune duo Bright Primate. He can usually be found making music with hacked Gameboys and such.- Allegra 'Del' Northern:Del is a freelance illustrator whom we have gradually absorbed into the Rain World team until she's become an integral part of it.
In the little freetime she still has she's usually tweeting cat pictures.- Lydia Esrig:Lydia is the other half of aforementioned Chiptune duo Bright Primate - she has written several Rain World songs and contributed to countless. But Rain World has to have a delay before you're allowed to press, and then a countdown for how long you're allowed to press. This makes the backflip a stupid unlikely move that I can't use reliably. Rolling when hitting the ground. Same, except nobody needs it. But if the backflip is awful, the vertical spear throw is even more unlikely to happen, cuz the timeframe for it is probably very very tight. To add insult to injury, not only the controls are absolute garbage sht, but the game doesn't even tell you anything.
