@@SolemnSundayme neither, I can pull off whiplash though easily. Funny how that works ahahaha. (If not sue what that is it’s an advanced movement technique, look up “how to move like a ninja rain world” for some cool stuff you probably didn’t even know existed. RWs movement system is so cool man
Another simple one is that you can hold down while on a ledge to “freefall” or rag doll down the ledge. This is useful for rolling as it allows for rolling off of much smaller ledges much faster.
a rock or spear can around 70% of the time (depends on lizard bites survival rate) if you throw quick enough, like there is around a second of time to do the throw after getting grabbed. also take into account like a 10% chance you miss the throw entirely (either wrong direction or it phases through the lizard like if bro didn't exist.) vultures (if they have their mask on) aren't actually very dangerous even if you get grabbed, as you can't get instakilled, meaning you can always retaliate as long as you keep a rock or spear on yourself even saint can spear a vulture in it's campaign, on expeditions it has the worlds cringest spear throw, i think it's literally just an oversight from the fact vulture grabs work like lizard bites but without any chance to die, but saint dies to lizard bites every single time no matter what so they probably thought it wouldn't have any effect to bother removing the spear throw retaliaton, but then it made vultures the only stabbable thing for saint lol.
You forgot to mention the most useful one where you can earn more distance in you throw an object at the direction you're holding. But overall nice and useful video ;)
yeah that's an extremely good tech. It's kinda funny how it literally defies gravity, or maybe i got a cool theory (the slugcat clenches so hard during throws that it farts with enough ferocity to propel itself.)
I would like to note that in the first clip you can’t be holding right (or left) if you want to throw a spear downwards, you can only be holding downwards mid-backflip 👍
i feel like its crucial if you dont like carrying rocks around to know how to mouth-stab, it is SO useful (then again im at such a certain skill level that i almost never need rocks, just backflips and pipe jukes)
You can only throw sideways. period. When you do the jump your body is facing sideways so the slugcat will throw the same as if you were standing, just now you’re not standing.
Tbh i wish the game elaborated more on it. I learned tons of advanced movement after finishing survivor for the first time, and all sebsequent campaigns including downpour were much more enjoyable
Small correction. You said “side flip” at the beginning while instead you meant “back flip”, side flips or whiplashes are instead a very quick and much more difficult flip performed by hitting back and jump while doing a slide that has already lasted long enough to do a rocket jump (long pounce from the latter half of a slide)
Just for everyone who looks here, you can chain a small roll with a backflip and even if its a small one you can rolljump It's not really for beginners but still
I think if the devs of rainworld port it to xbox it could become a even bigger hit, and maybe even microsoft could add it to gamepass and that would definitely give this game a lot of traction.
You can roll from flips, slides, and pounces, crouches with some fiddling, even just a very small change in the ground elevation (downward), not just falls from height. With analog sticks there are things like fast rolls. I’m no good at the movement in this game, but I did read the absurdly detailed Movement Guide 😅
very cool movement tech is you can slide infinetly against corpses, is it helpful? hell no but it's kinda funny, especially so if you manage to kill a lizard mid slide, they kinda stay slippery for whatever reason and completely ignore any kind of friction.
I think it depends on what you play with most really. Joystick is significantly harder, I'll agree on that because it doesn't have a speed ramp so any movement is just max speed. I use the D-Pad.
No matter what i do i cant ever seem to reliably throw a spear down with the back flip. After i flip it takes far to long to push the directional stick down and press o
Hate to be that guy, but the "side flip" that you mentioned is actually the backflip, which I point out because the side flip is a little more advanced of a technique I often use as hunter.
Wow , member of the Rainworld community that doesn't just say "Get Gud"? Impossible! But really,thank you for the advice ,I've used them a bunch and it helps a lot.
Unless it's a different button on Switch, which I don't remember for sure, this absolutely sounds like a bug and you should reinstall the game. If it's not that, it may be a controller issue, but pouncing is a core mechanic and I beat the game for the first time on Switch so it's definitely a bug!
If you are good with keyboard then use keyboard and for better performance on the game. I played the game in keyboard because of better performance but had to learn how to use said keyboards.
