Five Pebbles just saying "hey murder is wrong but these guys keep fucking up my roof, here's where they live and the means to get there" is so fucking hilariously in character
He should've gave instructions on how to make a pipe bomb on top of that to really sell it, but unfortunately Artificer already knows how to make a bomb.
32:40 You have seen the danger symbol point to many things, you feared them, fought them and defeated them. Now as the artificer, the danger symbol points to *you*.
I love how the game just tells you "You are the danger. You are the villain here." When the Scavenger king's drone thing just points at you and calls you dangerous.
I feel bad for every creature involved here. Artificer lost her kids and her eye to scavs, and went on a path of perpetual violence as a result, canonically trapping her in endless bloody war until she simply disappears, and the scavs she kills go from involved in her children’s murder to totally random, unaware of why they’re being slaughtered by this cat. That and the fact you kill the scav king, who doesn’t attack until provoked likely means he had no idea who you were, just that you were dangerous. Artificer is blocked from ascension, and the scavengers are almost wiped from the face of the world as a result of one terrible event. Depressing stuff.
In the last age, in the last battle, when the shadows last lengthened, one stood, soked by the puddles of Armageddon, her soul flooded by the waters of the Rainworld and tainted beyond ascension. She chose the path of perpetual torment. In her ravenous hatred she found no peace, and with boiling blood she scoured the overcasted ruins seeking vengeance against the those who had wronged her. She wore the crown of the King Scavengers, and those who tasted the bite of Her spear name her the Artificer.
There's a taboo stopping Pebbles from just decimating Artificer due to that ID drone, so he's probably forced to be polite to her purely because of that.
@@anonymouscausethatshowirol828 I think post rivulet Pebbles doesn't even have the energy to kill anyone or anything right? Wasn't he just running on fumes after Rivulet?
So if you all remember, the symbol for karma 1 is violence, the fact the this slugcat is stuck at karma 1 may hint us that this slugcat is choosing violence constantly and doesn't wanna move on I don't wanna see this video until I get downpour but I REALLY WANNA haha
@@shame2189 you can get more levels with each of the echos, but I don't think you can get enough to ascend fairly. Like, only 9 levels. And if you push forward with your core objective, you're locked in a path of violence forever.
Interestingly, in the Artificer's playthrough, Five Pebbles is capable of reading pearls for you as Moon is unavailable. His readings are quite different, especially for any pearls written by/involving himself. Actually, hearing the way he interprets the pearls made me like him a lot more as it presents a much deeper dive into his persona than his general grumbling at the player gives, and he frequently laments his past mistakes while self-reinforcing his own decisions to bear the consequences of his actions and proceed regardless. Likewise, I believe there are alternative interpretations of certain pearls for LTTM both in the past (Spearmaster) and future (Saint) for any pearls available in those campaigns.
He's just such an interesting and layered character to be honest. He's certainly not evil, but he's not perfect either. The amount of bad takes on his character in this fanbase makes me want to punch my drywall in
@@hamishthehero6872 likely after many cycles of being unascended they could have undeveloped most of their higher intelligence and relied on instinct to survive, however pebbles behaves like the scavs and the aincients are 2 completely seperate beings, although this might be manipulation because he does hate them

I love that you can still tell where you are in Artificer's timeline. The pipe you use to get to moon is still there and so is the monster kelp at 10:31
When in the timeline is it? From first to last I got Spearmaster, Gourmand, Hunter, Survivor, Monk, Rivulet, and Saint but I’m not sure who Artificer fits between.
@@catenkaawhy did you think gourmand came before hunter? If you permadie as hunter when you play as gourmand and go to where you died as hunter. You'll find hunter. But... it's a little... different... Hunter Long Legs.

So, Bombcat lore (spoliers) Mother of 2 cute babies, part of her died when scavs murdered her children. So she baaaaasicly john wicked every scavs in her sight and (i'm guessing) she could have three endings 1) the doomguy ending das first saw via scav king boss fight 2) ascend, but turn into echo or not completely(idk rly) aka das's 2nd ending 3) there are pearls in the scav king boss arena, i presume she has a option to forgive the scavs by giving the king a pearl. With that, maybe she could ascend properly.
... I just noticed - Scav King has the Mark of Communication. The only non-slugcat we've seen with the Mark. I wonder if Pebbles actually tried to reason with them at one point, only for them to not understand (or just ignore him)? Or perhaps the Mark is how that particular Scavenger became king, obtaining information from someone? Very strange...
Idk if he already know this but the artificer can also do a literal assassin ability where he can grab creatures and snap their necks but only works on smaller creatures and scavenger I think
works with most incapacitated creatures, but it doesn't instantly kill them, in some cases like the lizards it takes some time to kill them, which you can see how dangerous it is to try to break something's neck when this something has a lot of teeth and a strong jaw
This isn't breaking their necks this is mauling them to death since u see her do the eating animation when she does it, which is somehow even more brutal.
das voice went from normal to completely smooth as soon as pebbles spoke if it werent for axolina i would of never knew how popular this comment got lol.
What I love about the non-ascension endings is that you can continue where the ending sequence left off, with this one picking up over the corpse of the scav chief. You can even take its mask which is a godsend for the likes if my rat self
The artificer is literally the doom slayer of rain world on steroids and explosive crack, is like if the slug cat version of the impersonation of genocide murder and death I really can't get over how fucking cool and scary the artificer is
One thing I love about bombcat is that you can finish off enemies by biting them, stun something and start nibbling! That means you only need a rock to kill a scavenger.
They really need to make Artificer's dreams play even if she dies since they only trigger when hibernating. I have a feeling a lot of people miss out on them (and her backstory) if they try to go straight to killing the Chieftain. It also makes it seem like she's angry as heck every time she "wakes up" from dying like the player does. I didn't see the last dream myself (though I know what happened) before I finished her story. Also cool fact: if you continue after killing the Chieftain, you start the game on the Chieftain's throne.
You can get to the void sea without enough karma, which is done all the time in normal any% speedruns. It's strange that artificer is treated differently.
@@clintonanderson7436 i don't know this as fact but her pilgrimage has access to 7 echoes so I feel like they did that to add challenge to her pilgrimage and to let her ascend
When you get echoes before getting the mask you can increase your max karma level, once you get the mask its stuck at one. I never noticed that by getting the mask you're choosing violence instead of ascension, its a cool detail
oh wow, rewatching this after the stream, the echo warns you that defeating the scav king would "lead to a path of no return". amazing! also i assume the reason you don't see scavs ontop of P5 afterwards anymore is because Artificer killed them all/drove them away... so that means the bad ending is likely the canon one :( and why use devtools to skip to the void sea? is there no legit way to get all echos and ascend with Artificer? i wonder if that would be a different ending to go there with X
@@fridge9734 yea, on stream he did give the scav king a pearl but didn't stick around long enough to see what the king did afterwards... so there might be a chance!
Scav king has no clear method of communication, if you just sit there he aggroes after a while anyways, and I used devtools because I didn't feel like taking the 3 hours to go around the map picking up 6-9 echoes with the artificer's karma restrictions when I could be finishing the gourmand.
I’d like to imagine Artificer just being the sole inhabitant of the ancient Metropolis, just living off of lizards and sleeping on the chieftan’s throne.
i love the idea of arti and pebbles being reluctant friends, especially with knowing how much pebbles misses his old citizens sometimes. besties doomed by their anger woo!! (though this does raise the question of where artificer went in future campaigns in the lore , but thats just something fun to think on)
I think the Arti has my favorite story just for the weird rapport you get with Five Pebbles, it's fun bringing him pearls and getting to hear his own thoughts on the other iterators and ancients (especially how excited he gets over the white pearls that have art on them)
Btw, Artificer has a nasty little secret. If a creature is stunned or is small enough to be carried in your hand, your can snap the creature’s neck by holding the grab button. This works on any creature, but may take more snapping depending on their health. In summary, you can wrestle lizards with your tiny paws if you have something to incapacitate them for a few seconds.
Haven't played the game myself so I take it the Artificer can't join her/his children in the primordial soup (No idea what it's actually called lmao) because of their nature/karma at the end? That's... pretty fucking sad.
Further thought: if arty is one of the parents could the other parent be one of the other slugcats? And finally there was three siblings could gourmand be the third?
Spoilers for gourmand stream ending but… I think gourmand is implied to be monk and survivor’s parent, or at least ancestor edit: mixed up descendant and ancestor
The Artificer ending hurts, it just,stires a deep ache in my heart. A profound injustice was done to her, and for her "sins" she was forever denied, a true reunion with her children. Fuck man, that just isn't fair.
At least Artificer saw her kids one last time I also quite like that the DLC elaborates that ascension and what people see in "the afterlife" is not a halucination of the best possible thing they ever wanted, but really- they meet people that passed away
Yeah it looks like she was desperately trying to push forward despite being left by the void worm, burning herself up in the corrosive void sea, only surviving due to her parental determination and unique abilities to survive long enough to see her kids one last time before ceasing to exist. Which is a real tear-jerker
Ok so, I’ve been thinking about the timeline, and I thought only believe that rivulet is going to take place during 5 pebbles genetic recombination bs, it would explain the shorter cycles, and would also explain the increased amount of water during the day
The parry was actually super underused, the parry is super essential for fighting scavs because it's not just a way to stop mid air spears but its a universal stun for most creatures, makes killing them way easier, I killed the scav boss on my first try, it helps so much with the ridiculous spawns Artificer gets
I’m a player who has loved scavs from the start no matter how inconvenient they can be at times. They’re my cute little cats who like the shinies. . . But that doesn’t mean the times when accidents or weird ai has ruined my progress haven’t gotten to me. . . I think I’m gonna enjoy my Artificer playthrough.
whilst rainworld is still as unclear as ever. its pretty disturbing that those scavs got genocided but they probably deserve it for setting up tolls and killing you. so il try not to feel too bad for them
At 21:31 it sounds like Das says the TicTok "OOOOOOOH MAAAH GAAAAHD" noise. The pure childlike glee in this video us exactly how I felt playing Downpour too. Like seeing the game for the first time again.
It would have been cool if there was a new echo findable somewhere in the world after “ascending” with artificer similar to if the Hunter dies of sickness. Maybe it’d be much smaller than the ancient echos and wouldn’t say anything or raise karma but still would be cool.
This story represents that you never know what you have until it’s gone at least that’s my take I’m gonna be so happy when downpour releases for console though
The moment I saw you going towards the shortcut in Underhang, I was like “he’s gonna be in agony in a few seconds.” Then I noticed how you skipped footage of Underhang. I wonder why. XD
I love the fact the scav king drone is just like WATCH OUT THIS THING IS GONNA MURDER YOU while yours is just ignoring the scav king telling you you are not in danger YOU ARE THE DANGER
I swear the first time I entered Metropolis I wanted to cry with joy cause of the music score and how fucking awesome actually being able to explore the abandoned city was
man got me wanting to play again so i went back to my unfinished playthrough. and now i remember why i stopped for abit... shaded and the miros birds can feck oof
no das i do understand your excitement for the metropolis. when i played the dlc and realised it existed i literally almost cried because i was so happy
Just finished playing the entirety of Downpour so now I can finally come back here and watch your Experience videos, I was laughing like a little kid when 5P sent us to the city and seeing you have the same reaction reminded me of WHY I love this game. Fuck scavs.
Restart button actually exist in older version of Rain World, it just hidden which you can open it by holding R key, that mod just make it always appear.
This run makes me take the 'shelters' slugcats used a lot more literally, in the sense that I think they could've been emergency shelters for ancients if they were caught out in the rain
I assume that in the Rain World you can die completely without void fluid. The hunter dies of disease, the Ancients left the cycle by starvation (before the opening of the void liquid). Plus, some animals died out, so my theory is that the void liquid only speeds up the process of transcendence, but it can be achieved without it if you have no sins.
I had no idea that the little ID after being resynced would let you in that Karma Gate 👀✨!! That’s so interesting…I trekked down back to Waterfront Facility, confused on how to get to Moon, but now I know where to go :D💫✨!! Glad you’re enjoying Artificer haha, unfortunately watching all of these experiences of yours late but they’re very entertaining haha :)💝. I finished everyone except Artificer so this lead definitely helps XD. Might stop the video toward the end to avoid spoilers, I’ll come back once I’ve finished it 👁👁
I’m not sure how to obtain it, but I’m confident there’s another ending for the Artificer. I sped through my first playthrough, but I’m going to try another one and talk to Moon and all the Echoes, and hope that there’s another way. There’s not enough Echoes to reach the full 10 karma through pilgrimage, but the journey will be fun anyways.
Who everyone who ask if Arti has 3 ending or can get max karma, sadly she can't... She is stuck in Karma lvl.9 if u try to find all echoes, atleast all the information i collect from lot of sites there is not possible to get Max Karma. But i can say the asension ending is more better than the other, i cry really bad on the final scene. Tha music of the asension always make me cry.
Five Pebbles just saying "hey murder is wrong but these guys keep fucking up my roof, here's where they live and the means to get there" is so fucking hilariously in character

Scav king has no clear method of communication, if you just sit there he aggroes after a while anyways, and I used devtools because I didn't feel like taking the 3 hours to go around the map picking up 6-9 echoes with the artificer's karma restrictions when I could be finishing the gourmand.
@@Daszombes LTTM is still alive in artificer's period, maybe contacting her helps artificer in their quest to reconcile with the scavs
True experience: you forgot to take spear with you, and then entire army of scavengers jumped to your location
I can pipe juke them for a pretty good while, but once 20 or so corpses pile up it's too goddamned laggy to keep trying. Yet they keep coming...
@@T3sl4 congratulations with having this skill level! Well then downloading this game on my laptop is not an option
Tiny slug pup had skill issue 11:06
I’d like to imagine Artificer just being the sole inhabitant of the ancient Metropolis, just living off of lizards and sleeping on the chieftan’s throne.
21:31 Perfect recreation of the "OH MAH GAWD" sound effect
i love the idea of arti and pebbles being reluctant friends, especially with knowing how much pebbles misses his old citizens sometimes. besties doomed by their anger woo!!
(though this does raise the question of where artificer went in future campaigns in the lore , but thats just something fun to think on)
I think the Arti has my favorite story just for the weird rapport you get with Five Pebbles, it's fun bringing him pearls and getting to hear his own thoughts on the other iterators and ancients (especially how excited he gets over the white pearls that have art on them)
Btw, Artificer has a nasty little secret. If a creature is stunned or is small enough to be carried in your hand, your can snap the creature’s neck by holding the grab button. This works on any creature, but may take more snapping depending on their health. In summary, you can wrestle lizards with your tiny paws if you have something to incapacitate them for a few seconds.
Haven't played the game myself so I take it the Artificer can't join her/his children in the primordial soup (No idea what it's actually called lmao) because of their nature/karma at the end? That's... pretty fucking sad.
Yeah basically, Artificer can't join their children is the void sea because of their sins (lack of karma).
Presumably, if you go through the effort of absolving your sins as Artificer, she/he would be able to join their children in the Void Sea.
Girlboss kills everyone and gets cucked out the void
bros afraid to misgender a slugcat💀
*Her* children.
Artificer is confirmed female.
0:47 You didn't have to mod it in, you know. In the past, you just held R and the restart button appeared
That's what I was thinking
I AM FANGIRLING AT THE BACKGROUNDS RN THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!!
Watching this stream live in its entirety from start to finish was a massive trip. So much pain and suffering, but worth it
So arti is a mom/dad that lost they're children? I wonder if it's one of monk or survivors parents
Further thought: if arty is one of the parents could the other parent be one of the other slugcats? And finally there was three siblings could gourmand be the third?
Spoilers for gourmand stream ending but…
I think gourmand is implied to be monk and survivor’s parent, or at least ancestor
edit: mixed up descendant and ancestor
@@cameios not descendant, he comes before survivor and monk
Mom
@@graycatsaderow is there dialogue that confirms arti is a female? I may have missed it could be a single father akin to kratos
The Artificer ending hurts, it just,stires a deep ache in my heart. A profound injustice was done to her, and for her "sins" she was forever denied, a true reunion with her children. Fuck man, that just isn't fair.
You can ascend if you find a max karma scave somehow
Not fair? She commit mass genocide on a species, 99% of them having nothing to do with it at all. She was a victim, but she’s the bad guy.
At least Artificer saw her kids one last time
I also quite like that the DLC elaborates that ascension and what people see in "the afterlife" is not a halucination of the best possible thing they ever wanted, but really- they meet people that passed away
Yeah it looks like she was desperately trying to push forward despite being left by the void worm, burning herself up in the corrosive void sea, only surviving due to her parental determination and unique abilities to survive long enough to see her kids one last time before ceasing to exist. Which is a real tear-jerker
Was a blast to witness
Being there was the *Bomb.*
It seems the artifice had a short FUSE
Oh boy here we go with the pun chain.
This gonna, explode.
It blew my mind
You have to C4 yourself!
rip artificer :( girlbossed too close to the sun...er voidsea
Ok so, I’ve been thinking about the timeline, and I thought only believe that rivulet is going to take place during 5 pebbles genetic recombination bs, it would explain the shorter cycles, and would also explain the increased amount of water during the day
Evidently, this is wrong, I do love rivulet campaign, although i am a wee bit sad we don’t get to see truly prime moon, but still
Silly little water cat, and Scary little Bombcat
The parry was actually super underused, the parry is super essential for fighting scavs because it's not just a way to stop mid air spears but its a universal stun for most creatures, makes killing them way easier, I killed the scav boss on my first try, it helps so much with the ridiculous spawns Artificer gets
maybe the blue arm thing is the true form of the daddy long leggs.
Yeah, before Moon's interruption
@@danielm.595 huh?
Unrelated but No significant harassment has probably figured out how to cause something to ascend without void fluid
Scav king had mark of communication
1:00 in original RW you may summon "Restart game via holding "R" - it's actual for hunter, but i have no idea, does it work for monk and survivor
I may have missed him mentioning it, but did anyone else notice the scav king had a mark of communication?
The Void Sea ending for bombcat is so sad :(
man unironically didn't put a Soyjak Scavenger in the thumbnail, we raised you badly
Is it just me or can artificer always pick up spears from walls? I definitely had the remix option off and could always do it.
it's not just you, artificer can always pull spears out of walls
Yeah she also has a special maul ability if you hold eat on a stunned creature
@@kittywar123 oh, so that's why i “Ate” that scav alive
By design, artificer can always pull spears out, since she rarely ever actually needs spear ladders when she can simply double jump.
bro that scav had a mark of communication
In the artificer dreams, you can control the blue slugpup
Just had a brainwave on what the weird red pile blocking off Moon is, I'm guessing its slag resulting from pebbles slurping up all the water
God the Arti is so cute! and sad!
Artificer is the Doom Guy of Rain World. Rip and tear until its done
I’m a player who has loved scavs from the start no matter how inconvenient they can be at times. They’re my cute little cats who like the shinies. . .
But that doesn’t mean the times when accidents or weird ai has ruined my progress haven’t gotten to me. . .
I think I’m gonna enjoy my Artificer playthrough.
whilst rainworld is still as unclear as ever. its pretty disturbing that those scavs got genocided but they probably deserve it for setting up tolls and killing you. so il try not to feel too bad for them
The game: artificer
Most of the community: bombcat or crimson slugcat
(Spoiler warning)
People that Saw the ending: doomcat.
She be the Red Mist
At 21:31 it sounds like Das says the TicTok "OOOOOOOH MAAAH GAAAAHD" noise. The pure childlike glee in this video us exactly how I felt playing Downpour too. Like seeing the game for the first time again.
It would have been cool if there was a new echo findable somewhere in the world after “ascending” with artificer similar to if the Hunter dies of sickness. Maybe it’d be much smaller than the ancient echos and wouldn’t say anything or raise karma but still would be cool.
It seems like Das has changed his mind on Ascending, after going into the city with artificer.
This story represents that you never know what you have until it’s gone at least that’s my take I’m gonna be so happy when downpour releases for console though
The moment I saw you going towards the shortcut in Underhang, I was like “he’s gonna be in agony in a few seconds.” Then I noticed how you skipped footage of Underhang. I wonder why. XD
I love the thumbnail
Arti’s campaign is basically: “I’m not in danger, I AM the danger”.
I never thought it was possible, but you managed to edit the stream into highlights.
Artificer be like: "You were good son, real good: maybe even the best"
Glad I could be here for it live!
Hell hath no fury like an angry scug.
“The only thing they fear… is you.”
I love the fact the scav king drone is just like WATCH OUT THIS THING IS GONNA MURDER YOU while yours is just ignoring the scav king telling you you are not in danger YOU ARE THE DANGER
I swear the first time I entered Metropolis I wanted to cry with joy cause of the music score and how fucking awesome actually being able to explore the abandoned city was
man got me wanting to play again so i went back to my unfinished playthrough. and now i remember why i stopped for abit... shaded and the miros birds can feck oof
I was going to avoid dlc gameplay, but then I remembered that I’m recording co-op with one of my friends through it, and I’m usually the expert.
you can restart your game by holding R before it added the restart UI
no das i do understand your excitement for the metropolis. when i played the dlc and realised it existed i literally almost cried because i was so happy
das goes to a city and nuts on EVERY surface
21:29 AHHHHHH does that mean we get to visit the iterator cities?!
Just finished playing the entirety of Downpour so now I can finally come back here and watch your Experience videos, I was laughing like a little kid when 5P sent us to the city and seeing you have the same reaction reminded me of WHY I love this game.
Fuck scavs.
Restart button actually exist in older version of Rain World, it just hidden which you can open it by holding R key, that mod just make it always appear.
Can't wait to play this
EDIT: I've finished Gourmand and Aritifcer by this point
This run makes me take the 'shelters' slugcats used a lot more literally, in the sense that I think they could've been emergency shelters for ancients if they were caught out in the rain
Your reaction to reaching the city was so awesome, I could relate so much!
Artificer but you can only see one side of the screen.
Honestly guys
Artificers goal is to blow up
and then act like she doesn’t know anybody
How do you lose your children in a world where nothing can die?
Perhaps seperated from them? Or the scavs threw them into the void
Scavenger toll -> Scavenger troll
I assume that in the Rain World you can die completely without void fluid. The hunter dies of disease, the Ancients left the cycle by starvation (before the opening of the void liquid). Plus, some animals died out, so my theory is that the void liquid only speeds up the process of transcendence, but it can be achieved without it if you have no sins.
Yeah this is a p big plot hole. Do children instantly ascend the moment they die?
@@nomihabo9752 maybe they do because they're without sin and thus can instantly ascend?
Im still trying to finish the vod lmaooo
I just realized, the scab kings chair has the level editor face on it.
One must imagine artificier happy
I had no idea that the little ID after being resynced would let you in that Karma Gate 👀✨!! That’s so interesting…I trekked down back to Waterfront Facility, confused on how to get to Moon, but now I know where to go :D💫✨!! Glad you’re enjoying Artificer haha, unfortunately watching all of these experiences of yours late but they’re very entertaining haha :)💝. I finished everyone except Artificer so this lead definitely helps XD. Might stop the video toward the end to avoid spoilers, I’ll come back once I’ve finished it 👁👁
I’m not sure how to obtain it, but I’m confident there’s another ending for the Artificer. I sped through my first playthrough, but I’m going to try another one and talk to Moon and all the Echoes, and hope that there’s another way. There’s not enough Echoes to reach the full 10 karma through pilgrimage, but the journey will be fun anyways.
Who everyone who ask if Arti has 3 ending or can get max karma, sadly she can't... She is stuck in Karma lvl.9 if u try to find all echoes, atleast all the information i collect from lot of sites there is not possible to get Max Karma.
But i can say the asension ending is more better than the other, i cry really bad on the final scene. Tha music of the asension always make me cry.
