very light outer wilds spoiler, if you have an hour of playtime you're fine
also this game makes feel like an absolute idiot bcs i can’t figure out anything to save my life
Enjoy!
first chance to avoid spoilers
second chance
third chance
fourth chance
fifth and last chance, i spoil a lot of stuff here.
just in case :p
but seriously though, i’ve played about 20 hours, I know (and visited quite a bit) about the quantum moon, i’ve learned about quantum imaging, i know about the eye of the universe and how the nomai have been trying to reach it (that and quite a bit about their culture), I know that if I want to reach this mystical “seventh location” that I need to have the nomai shrine be on the north pole of the quantum moon but i can’t even do that bcs when i put but my scout on the moon and leave it just gives static so i can’t keep in the same place. I’m trying to learn about quantum entanglement but no matter what I do the shrine doesn’t tell me that i’ve recalled it’s rule yet. i know about the ash twin project, my best guess is that it’s a dome inside the twin made for evacuation in the case that the sun goes supernova (but they’re all dead now anyway so ig that was for nothing), the vessel is somewhere in dark bramble but tbh I can’t be bothered to look for it, it’s long gone. oh and not to mention the sunless city on ember twin, what is left to look at??? there isn’t anything quantum there (that I know of) so I can’t just stand on it and turn my flashlight and off and zoop over somewhere else. idk what i’m yapping abt this game is just driving me crazy. there’s prob a lot more i have recorded in my rumors but i don’t wanna go through everything.
You’ve stated some assumptions that are wrong. Maybe revisit some things you assume to be true. You might learn differently.
Edit to provide a bit more (non-spoiler) context:
- Maybe consider focusing on the investigation board, and filling in anything you’ve not yet uncovered.
- You ‘can’t be bothered’ with something important. Maybe you should be bothered.
- Maybe try to confirm some of your suspicions about various things. You might learn something new.
The investigation board is key. Check not only the big question marks, but also review the other cards; it will literally tell you if there’s stuff you still haven’t discovered in a location. Keep poking at every part of it until it gives up all its secrets.
Also, it sounds like OP hasn’t been to the sun station yet. There actually two different ways of getting there, and only one of them involves landing on it.
I believe the high energy lab has some important clues about what the other way is…
i already knew about the other way, but it feels like I looked all over
spoiler
the sunless city
and i still couldn’t find it. hence why i feel like an idiot playing this game bcs i follow clues it gives me and I feel like what i’m looking for is probably right up in my face but I just don’t see it. ig i’ll go look there again.
If you’re looking there, you’re in the wrong place.
i’ve just beat the game, turns out the thing i couldn’t be bothered about was very important. thank you for getting me to bother about it :D
I actively enjoy spoiling stuff for myself, but you didn’t need to spoiler tag because I didn’t understand any of it anyways
this comment has been living rent free in my head since I’ve read it. Why do you like spoiling things for yourself?
Because I don’t like uncertainty and drama. Most people watch sitcoms and enjoy people getting into awkward situations. I don’t. It’s genuinely worse than watching anything else for me. The very thing that makes stories impactful and good makes it hard for me to enjoy them. If I know the ending, I don’t have the stress of not knowing the ending.
Sometimes I can endure it if I see value in a fresh perspective, but it makes most things more fun if I spoil it. If I enjoy it spoiled, I know it has rewatch value. If it sucks when you know the truth, that’s all it had going for it.
You know that the shrine needs to be north. Pay attention to that fact. Is the shrine always in the same location?
y’all i fully thought you were talking about outer WORLDS and i have been so confused
