Shadow plort farming: Once you know how to farm the shadow plorts, this is the easy part. Important tips (shadow farming): 1) You can hit multiple plorts out of the same shadow slime. Also, if you're can get it into a confined/cramped space, then you'll have an easier time. I found the best spot to be near the Ember Valley entrance under the archway straight ahead. Lots of shadow slimes spawn in that hallway. 2) Bring at least a full slot worth of a "junk" item, such as food/plorts you don't really need. This way you have plenty of "ammo" to use on the shadow slimes. 3) Open fire on the shadow slimes and once the shadow slimes despawn, then pick it up along with any shadow plorts you managed to hit out.
Other things about the weather: Lightning Strikes (max intensity only): 1) Lightning bolts have a chance to drop either storm glass or lightning motes. 2) Getting struck by the lightning hurts you, but while the lightning surges through you, it gives unlimited dashing for a brief moment, as if you used a dash pad.
Here's some things they don't tell you, which they should have. 1) As I've noted in the stream: the only thing you "need" are the projectors. To save on resources, you can pick up the projectors once the device has been activated. 2) The sundials are for bonuses/secrets. They're not necessary to explore the labyrinth. To activate them, you'll need A LOT of shadow plorts. Speaking of which, there's some things they DO tell you, but they tell you "too late" as it were. If you're one that doesn't care for lore, this is easy to miss, as Gigi is the one to tell you this stuff. a) Shadow slimes, you're meant to hit with stuff. They don't tell you that until you reach first open area near that sundial door. b) For prisma plorts, you have to shoot unstable plorts through the small circle distortions or go through the yellow ring devices. They don't tell you this till you reach the gold sector of the Dream World. This is one time where its trial and error style of play has kinda backfired for some. I figured this stuff out, but for some, yeah...

This update is so hard to tranverse through, I got stuck three times already by being confused on what to do
