【Complete MAP/Rain World】Poltergeist 

This so stupidly good, I don’t think there was a single moment in this MAP that felt awkward or out of place, ya’ll knocked it out of the park with this one

Probably the highest quality Rain World MAP ever released, every animator did such an incredible job

Dude i swear, this game's community can cook up the most delicious three course meals ever and people still sleep on it

This has got to be one of the best rainworld maps I’ve seen, all the parts flow together so well, but by far the most impressive part is that all the participants manage to draw and animate echos perfectly

I love 1:56. I'm so used to Rivulet being portrayed as this cute, braindead, hyperactive little thing, but when you think about it, they're quite a majestic creature, especially considering the events of their campaign itself. I might be overreacting, but I feel like this scene does this side of their character some justice.

Fun fact: when you complete saint's campaign, they become echo, and there are gold things around them. These things are called "chains" in game files, because echoes are forever trapped in this world. Just thought that it's cool :)

everyone's parts are legitimately magical

Best MAP ive ever seen everyone did so good!

О БОЖЕ КАК ЭТО ЧУДЕСНО ВЫ ЧТООО Я ПЛАЧУ 😭

Nah bro just sitting down and watching this is not enough appreciation for how insanely good this was

Seeing rainwolrd map’s are almost always somewhat makes me feel old for me, i just remember seeing some parts of the map months ago then to just suddenly see it finished

Seeing Arti's pups in Rubicon was a nice easter egg to when the devs said "all slugpups go to hell" but also kinda sad 😭😭. all jokes aside tho this is probably the highest quality MAP I have ever seen for Rain World, and paired with a banger song as well! All the different animation styles flowed together so well and nothing felt out of place. 10/10, I only discovered it a couple hours ago and already rewatched it like 7 times!

I’m absolutely blown away by this. The part that impressed me the most was actually the void flash effect at 3:53. It was spot-on, exactly like the game, and that can’t have been easy to do.

Wow, this MAP is peak quality through and through, and it all fits together so well! Now for little things I noticed, as it's always great for them to get appreciated! *Spoilers for a lot of things in Downpour,* of course, it is mostly just about what is shown in the animation, but you never know... In the first part for Spearmaster, they are holding both the message pearl and SRS's overseer's eye, really showing just how much Spearmaster cares for SRS. After Artificer loses her pups, it shows Artificer going after a scav, with an environment similar to the nightmares she has in game. There is a quick flash of NSH in the background at 1:13. Before the dropwig gets harpooned by the KV, you can see a faint laser aiming ahead of the dropwig, which it then leaps into. The scene for when Survivor falls down is very similar to one of the images you see when complete Gourmand's food quest. Seems in this timeline, the other two pups (the blue and black) also followed Survivor and Monk, or they got separated from the rest of the colony somehow. Which Survivor must have found on their journey back to OE as Monk sees them with Survivor when they reunite with Survivor. Not a small detail, but I really loved how "out of time" was synced with Rivulet running to Pebbles to escape the impending Downpour. When Rivulet escapes into the tunnel with the rarefraction cell, you can see a glimpse of a DLL (or blue BLL, since those do exist and it seems quite small) feeling around the tunnel before it moves on to another scene. Moon is crying after Saint brings her the music pearl that Pebbles listens to. Saint is ascending the guardians in Rubicon, as seen with the chains breaking at 3:20. "All slugpups go to Hell," in which Artificer's slugpups (at least same colors) are shown to be in Rubicon. When Pebbles forcefully removes Spearmaster's message pearl, a flash of Moon suffering from lack of water appears behind him, which might be indicating that the guilt he feels influenced his irrational anger. Ruffles is perhaps saying their final goodbyes to Moon at 3:46. I'm sure there are other little things I missed, but I tried! Although I may have glossed over just how good the MAP is, it really cannot be said enough just how good it is! I just lack the ability to fully express that...

ЭТО СЛИШКОМ КРУТО Я НАДЕЮСЬ ЭТО УВИДИТ БОЛЬШЕ ЛЮДЕЙ

有幸参加啊啊啊感谢所有参与MAP制作以及封面绘制的朋友的付出……太开心了

This is the best map I've seen on Rain World. no animations made on the knee, no poor drawing, no unnecessary moments. Great respect to the authors of this map 

wow, being able to understand the lyrics make it so much more awesome cause it felt like it fit at every part.

Wait a second... Triple affirmative... Three... Saint forehead... HOLY HOW HAVE I NOT REALISED IT EARLIER

Poltergeist/ Circus P Song Lyrics from wiki: Broken mirrors and shattered hearts I can see you, but can you see me too? Walk along the reflecting shards When it's over I'll take you lower But higher and higher we go Step by step, looking down, feel the vertigo With fragments of odd memories What sights do you believe? Living in fantasy in apathy isn't the cure, you're out of time Try to keep holding on before you're gone It all will be over, so cry and cry (Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-oh-oh) Every step you think you take reveals new ways to break (Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-oh-oh) Don't you trust your eyes it's just a poltergeist Wilted roses and trampled dreams Breathing in and out, make sure you don't lose count Stitching threads to mend the seams In a feeling of absolutely nothing But further in fervor we go Voices in dissonance call from the radio Searching through the scattered debris What visions do you seek? Living in fantasy in apathy isn't the cure, you're out of time Try to keep holding on before you're gone It all will be over, so cry and cry (Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-oh-oh) Every step you think you take reveals new ways to break (Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-oh-oh) Don't you trust your eyes it's just a poltergeist Living in agony in tragedy is like a curse brought upon yourself 'Cause as you're calling out and falling down You can't be recovered And it hurts like hell (Oh, I'm a poltergeist, Oh I'm a poltergeist) There's no point in turning back when you've lost all you had (Oh, I'm a poltergeist, Oh I'm a poltergeist) Have you realized I'm your poltergeist

absolutely beautiful! I can't believe how little attention this map has gotten - props to all the participants!

This Rain World map is without a doubt the best of all, all the characters and settings are illustrated to perfection so much so that even Videocult has posted the map. Thank you animators for being part of this beautiful and great community.

1:39 I love the theory that the Survivor and the Monk were both a part of Gourmand's colony

The more I learn about and play Rain World the better this map gets; it genuinely has EVERYTHING. I cannot get over it omg.

This had me silently Screaming, I was actually shaking a little bit Every single section was gorgeous. Even the more “basic” styles were so stylized and aesthetically appealing, every single clip could stand up with the others as a masterpiece. And sadly, I don’t feel that way about most MAPs I watch. But this one was so perfectly paired together that the changes in style didn’t feel jarring. Every artist brought beauty to this project. It stole my breath away. I cannot praise this video enough. I’m gonna watch it again now :)

i REALLY love the detail at 3:10 where saint’s three spots glow as their eyes open to ascend Moon, the amount of times i have rewatched and thought about this map is unreal

I love the Chinese(?) rainworld community’s art styles definitely want to try and mimic said style because I love it

This MAP is so underrated; it’s one of the best I have ever seen. Everyone did an amazing job evoking so much emotion out of their animations through Rainworld’s story. You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for your hard work!

3:18 Saint is often portrayed as this goofy lil floofy boi with a gun, but here shows how menacing saint truly is. Saint's a godlike entity, and this really emphasized that. Amazing!

This is such a massive love letter to rain world and the community You guys knocked it out of the park

THIS IS SO FLIPPIN GOOD, rain world's story is so heart warming and breaking at the same time, it put me in tears watching, you HAVE to know and understand the game and lore to really feel the emotion in this, and i am so glad i can feel what the artists wanted to portray, this was unbelievably well animated for ONLY 7.5K LIKES IN 2 MONTHS? unfair, this deserves so much love and attention, ANIMATION IS HARD! this is QUALITY! the story is soo good Dx words cannot describe how i felt about this, but its ASTOUNDING! i hope to see more of rainworld community rise

Something I’d like to mention. I just remembered the definition of a “poltergeist.” it’s basically a ghost, but it can interact with physical objects. If we say that echoes are “ghosts” then Saint would BE a poltergeist. Edit: I would pay actual money to have the sleep saint and echo at the end in a hour loop

Felt epic moment of saint on this part 3:20 3:35 Saint is pacifist fluffy slugcat who travel in the changed world surrounding with snow to find the answer of ascend or the way to end itself from endless loop 3:47 "everything is alright, you will be okay" Rivulet is cheerful, energetic slugcat who go through dangerous journeys with pure heart. Even after mission complete it still come visit moon from time to time until the end After playing rain world, Saint and rivulet had became my favourite slugcat❤

Incredible MAP. My congratulations to everyone who's worked on this. It burns so brightly with the love you've given it.

Ive rewatched this too many times to count, This project, with all its collaberators and artists are just so amazing. Im glad you all made this

This is actually the best map I’ve ever seen what Every part just flows so well together, AND people aren’t afraid to animate an echo

This MAP is absolutely beautiful!! Every part looks so stunning!!!

DUDDEE THIS WAS INSANEEE all of these parts are amazing, phenomenal work from everyone

i’d like to say，this is the best map i could see in this year。the animation，the acts of the slug cats。they are all wonderful and perfect. Unbelievable that is man can do. Best arts from china!

I really really love this MAP！！！every part is amazing…Thanks for all the worker and Chabry,I made part 16 and I’m proud that I can join this MAP!!!🥹

This is absolutely the best rainworld map I've ever seen, up there with A Turtle's Heart back in the early days of the fandom as one of my all time favorites. Everyone did an absolutely phenomenal job, I love everything about this. The character animation and capturing the personalities of the slugcats, the backgrounds and the detail in them making it feel like the living breathing world the game protrays, the participants did a fantastic job with everything. Absolutely breathtaking project

好耶!Everyone are do the best for their own part! I'm glad being able to participate this MAP😭， my part is at 3:54 🥺

i think this is the most consistently beautiful map ive ever seen, everyone did so well on everything!

i've said it before and ill say it again. rain world community makes some of the most jaw dropping animations every 4 seconds i swear to god. its like fucking clockwork.

The styles, animation, everything looks so good!

2:32 smol detail but one that really bothers me. SAINTS FUR IS BLOWING THE CORRECT WAY!!!

YOUR BACK HII!! HUGE INSPIRATION TO ME im so happy you’re back 🔛🔝

This masterpiece was so fun to watch, it all looks so good and insanely well made, down to even small little details. Fair to say I was absolutely shocked by all the animators works!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EVERYONE DID SUCH A GREAT JOB! THERE WANT A SINGLE PART THAT DIDNT FIT IN THIS WHOLE THING! THIS MAP IS A MASTERPIECE!

3:19 - omg that was so epic!

This is one of the best rainworld MAPs I’ve ever seen all the animators are great you did not forget transitions and you made them really good. Good job

ITS OUT OMG!!! this is SO stunning, all the parts are gorgeous and flow together perfectly! incredibly smooth (and the echoes!? WOW) i’m so amazed and inspired, truly a jaw dropping map :O

This is GORGEOUS. the scenery is the main part of it, It helps with the emotion of the MAP part. Everyone in this did so good. This has to be one of the best rain world MAPS i’ve seen so far.

I lost my mind while watching this MAP because i quite literally have never seen one as good as this in a HOT MINUTE and it is all so incredibly animated. I may be 3 weeks late but im still allowed to praise this MAP and all it's animators for doing an OUTSTANDING job

this is legit my FAVORITE map so far oh my god you guys all did such an amazing job!!!!! this is SO GOOD

OMG I just now realized this video was hosted/posted by the same person, who made my fav hollow knight animation (hallownest ode)! Seriously, these animations are sooo good :)

The way the parts flow together is amazing, this might just be the best Rain World MAP I've ever seen. Great work!

Wow!! This is beautiful- I was captivated the whole time watching. I can tell everyone poured so much love into this. Wonderful job, all of you

god this is so stunning, ive watched it several times now and every time the rivulet parts in particular give me chills with how well the animators captured their speed

Song called poltergeist starting in the polar cold…you could call it…polargeist

Definitely going to my map playlists. All of these participants did an amazing job! Keep up the amazing work fellow artists!

This is one of the best things I've ever seen, incredible work. This inspired me to go back to study animation

As someone who: Didnt play rainworld Barley know anything bout the lore I just say this is a work of absolut art Edit: so i finally played rain world and pretty much know everything bout the lore now and watching this again after knowing everything it refrences just makes it hit soooo much hard

THE LYRICS FIT SO WELL AND THE ANIMATION IS GREAT (forigve the caps lock)

best one I’ve seen yet. Huge congrats to everyone who worked on this for making it possible

That was spectacular. I loved every minute of that. Props to all the talented people who worked on this.

This is such a an incredible map!!!! These animators deserve some recognition for this! That was amazing!

Love how this pretty much sums up all of rain world's lore

beautiful work, all!

This is the BEST Rainworld animation i've ever seen every single detail makes it so much better its basically an entire enbodiment of the game in Four Miniutes and three seconds

This was so transcendant It took me until 3:00 to figure this was a collab, It just felt wondrous!

AUUU IVE BEEN WAITING MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THIS MAP. Everyone did such an amazing job, I can express how much I love this MAP.

This is actually insane, the animation quality is through the roof!

I would be downright sobbing if i wasnt preventing myself from doing so. This is just- wow, I would day amazing but that doesnt cut it. Its otherworldly, I can feel the emotion and thought drawn into every animators FP. Just wow

I really like this. To see a clear overview of every story and campain.

I need to finish Rainworld so I can watch this later without spoilers and fully appreciate it! Already just considering the talent of everyone who's worked on it, I know it's going to be amazing, I'm so excited. Congratulations on hosting your first MAP Chabry! 💙

Every animator in this map, is so underrated! WHY THEY HAVE LESS SUPPORT, THEY ARE SO UNDERRATED

I love the idea that Gourmand led the group that Survivor and Monk were originally a part of

I cannot emphasize this enough, this is one of the best MAPs to have ever come out of the Rain World community. Everything in this video is gorgeous. Absolutely fantastic work by everyone!

never heard of this map until now but it looks amazing!! i'm impressed with all of the animators, the finished product looks stunning!

Saint showing Pebbles’ pearl to Moon was so sad :( She knew that the only way his pearl would be in the possession of another would be if he was gone... Dammit Saint, why couldn’t you have just ascended her on the spot you don’t need to break her heart!

I love artificer, the way that it shows villains aren’t born but created is so obvious yet a insanely deep way to show this term.

Лучший мап по Рейну который я когда-либо видел

I fucking cried watching this ITS TOO GOOD WHAT

2:58 This clip makes me want to hug a scavenger

Every single part is so good!! Everyone did such an incredible job on this

Dear lord, I almost cried... still might cry. incredible

Absolutely underrated map, everyone did an amazing job with the animation!!!

Geez, this is one of the best animated maps ive seen in years. It all flows so well.

ZAMN giant kudos to everyone involved, this is incredible

god damn it this was absolutely stunning, every single frame looked amazing, it's wonderful what this community is capable of

aaaa this map is so beautiful!! you all are so talented, incredible work

Absolutely gorgeous, everyone did such an amazing job

THIS IS AMAZING! good job to all the animators for creating this masterpiece of a map!

the animations here are just absolutely magical, massive props to all the animators here what a creation you guys have made

First of all, WOW! All of the parts were SO clean and pretty! I can't tell if you just picked the right people or everyone working on it just slaved over their screens for months per part, I love how unique a lot of the artists styles are yet they still blend nicely... sometimes so nicely I don't notice a part change... I will note that 1:42 looks VERY similar to a part from Birds of Paradise MAP (same location, scene, composition, motion, VERY similar timing, lighting) But other than intentionally or accidentally getting inspiration from somewhere else, it is very high quality and nice to look at

ЭТО ВОСХИТИТЕЛЬНО Я СЕЙЧАС ЗАПЛАЧУ Т_Т

OMG THE ART I LOVE IT SO MUCH
