Casual Archipelago (Complete)

[Arcaneum]

@Arcaneum, could you get me the Pandemonium level from Archades - Pinewood Chop 3 Reward (1) in FF12? One of Porykid's hinted items, the Flamebrand, is locked behind Pandemonium, and the final Chaos Emerald I need to clear Sonic Adventure 2 is itself locked behind the Flamebrand.

I also found you some Artemis Arrows for FF12, and a second Bottle for Alex_Among_Foxes' Link to the Past.

Ah finally, something I can actually do. Am just trying to finish up Megaman first and then I believe I can get to this. The rest of the stuff however will require some other things, I'll need to see if those have been unlocked and if not whether I can hint for them.

Once I beat Pandemonium, PoryKid can get me the final Chaos Emerald and the other stuff shouldn't matter, so don't bother hinting for it.

 

[Arcaneum]

OK I've gone through a load of FF12 to see what I can get, things that I got that are labelled as Progression and things that I know are of note:

@Explorer of Time
Centurion (SC2)
Map 31 - Wolfenstein2 (Doom 2)
Pandemonium E3M3 (Doom 1)
Halls of the Damned Yellow Key (Doom 2)
Goliath Jump Jets (SC2)
Eggman's Mystic Melody (SA2B)

@Devalue
Ice Rod (ALttP)
Red Boomerang (ALttP)

@Vendily
Golden Feather
Wristwatch

@Alex_Among_Foxes
Small Key x3 (Zelda 1)

@PoryKid575
Chuckle Bean x4
Hoo Bean x1

@Setsuna
Rep x 40 (BRCF)
Time Shard x 600 (Messenger)
Spider Ball (Metroid Prime)

 

[Explorer of Time]

Alright, I have a bunch of new stuff.

First off, @Arcaneum, I have your Stone of Agony for OoT and Libra for FF12.

@Alex_Among_Foxes, I have another Small Key for Thieves Town and your Magical Key for Zelda 1.

@Devalue, I found your Tempered Sword.

@Vendily, I found another Golden Feather for you.

For myself, I found my own Shotgun for Doom 1, making its levels actually fun, and Tails' Laser Blaster, which isn't that useful and doesn't unlock any checks.

Finally, @PoryKid575, I found the Firebrand for you. Now go get that Chaos Emerald and I can clear Sonic Adventure 2.

 

[Arcaneum]

I managed to get to another few areas and have found:

@Explorer of Time
Jump Suit Module
PSI Disrupter

@PoryKid575
Hoo Bean x2
Chuckle Bean x 1
Azure Neon Egg

@Setsuna
Rep x16
Missile Expansion

Otherwise most of my game is locked behind my Systems Access Keys right now (at least they are the easiest way to then get around), so if EoT/Setsuna you can let me know if these are possible or not

[Hint]: ArcaneumFF12's Systems Access Key is at RNO3 - Hammer in SetsunaOfTheNite's World. (not found)
[Hint]: ArcaneumFF12's Systems Access Key is at The Focus (MAP04) - Blue keycard in Expl of Time DM2's World. (not found)

That would be super!

PK - I have my last Chaos Emerald locked behind Joke's End Pipe Digspot so if you can let me know when you get that, also super!

 

[Setsuna]

@Setsuna, I found your Grapple Beam for Metroid Prime with yet more sequence breaking. Only four more extremely-difficult sequence break checks left in SA2 until I'm completely walled again.

@Setsuna
Rep x 40 (BRCF)
Time Shard x 600 (Messenger)
Spider Ball (Metroid Prime)

Thanks a bunch for both of these! Currently playing Prime and seeing what I can pick up.

@Explorer of Time If you're able to pick up my Super Missiles (The Gantlet (MAP03) - Shotgun, Doom II), they'd be a big help later on. Not super high priority though since I couldn't currently use them.

[Hint]: ArcaneumFF12's Systems Access Key is at RNO3 - Hammer in SetsunaOfTheNite's World. (not found)

I'm pretty sure I know where that is so finding it shouldn't be hard, but I can't access that until I get the Holy Glasses (Feywood - Walk of Flitting Rifts Treasure 10, Final Fantasy 12) since it's in the inverted castle. I'll gladly grab that for you first chance I get!

Unfortunately, I can't get either of these without their respective Doom maps. The Focus, which I've just hinted for, is in ZD Shop Item 5 in your Ocarina of Time, Arcaneum. As for the Gantlet, I have no idea where that is and don't have enough hints for it.

 

[Explorer of Time]

Congratulations on completing your goal in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, @Setsuna!

Just make sure to either type in !release, or get those last eleven Mataan and Graffiti Spot checks in-game. There's a chance that they may be critical progression items for someone and they are not automatically released like last Archipelago.

 

[Setsuna]

Had a nice but somewhat frustrating play session of Prime and ended up finishing BRC. I wasn't taking notes on exactly everything I picked up but here's some stuff that would've caught my eye:

Explorer of Time:
Progressive Stimpack (Reaper), SC2
Box of rockets, DM1
Monster Condo (MAP27) - Blue skull key, Tricks and Traps (MAP08) - Yellow skull key, DM2
Knuckles - Air Necklace, SA2

Arcaneum:
Chronos Tear, FF12
Emblem x3, Arc SA2B
Serenade of Water, OoT

Alex LtP:
20 Rupees, Blue Boomerang, Small Key (Turtle Rock)

PoryKid:
Casual Coral, Ultra Syrup

Congratulations on completing your goal in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, @Setsuna!

Just make sure to either type in !release, or get those last dozen checks in-game. There's a chance that they may be critical progression items for someone and they are not automatically released like last Archipelago.

I'm not connected to BRC through the typical Archipelago launcher stuff, I connect in-game through a modloader and have an in-game menu for it all, so just typing !release requires a few extra steps, if I don't get it done within in the next hour or so just assume I gave up cause I wanna do other things today and will just collect all the remaining checks in-game later.

Edit: Just released them, here's what you got, only things of note are it's funny my reward for tagging every graffiti spot is more graffiti, and I'm a little sad I never picked up Futurism from whoever had her, she's one of my favourite characters.

 

[Arcaneum]

Serenade of Water is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I only need 4 Medallions (unless my tracker is lying, which honestly it's been playing up REALLY bad) to then get into Hyrule Castle and right now I have Spirit/Fire/Forest (Completed)/Shadow Temples, but Fire is currently locked behind my Hammer, so another temple to try instead is huge and in theory I should be able to do it.

 

[Explorer of Time]

@Alex_Among_Foxes I found a Small Key for your Desert Palace. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any more progression items today and can't unlock anything else right now.

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

@Alex_Among_Foxes I found a Small Key for your Desert Palace. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any more progression items today and can't unlock anything else right now.

That's great cause I think I only needed the one key to finish the dungeon! Will be checking that now.

Edit: so it turns out that PK managed to find my Red Candle, so that's 100% GO mode for Z1. I'll be doing that first, then checking ALttP! :p

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

New post because finished with Z1! The only things of note that I noticed from the release (no magic sword = no clearing all of Level-G cause HELL no lol) were a couple of Seashells for @Vendily's game. Otherwise it was mostly useless cause of ACGs or just junk items. But at least that's another game down! :p

 

[Explorer of Time]

I've found my last Emblem, and even sequence broke Cannon's Core 3 and 5 with the infinite time switch glitch. No progression items this time aside from a Doom 2 keycard that didn't unlock any checks, with the only Useful item being a Darkra for FF12.

These are the remaining progression items for SA2, please ping me if you find any of them. Anything else for SA2, even another Emblem, is now useless.

Sonic's Bounce Bracelet (7 Checks): City Escape - Upgrade, Crazy Gadget 5, Final Rush 1, 3, and 5, Final Rush - Upgrade, and Final Rush Chao Key 3. No hint available for it yet.

Tails' Bazooka (7 Checks): Prison Lane - Upgrade, Prison Lane Chao Key 1, Prison Lane 5, Eternal Engine 1, 3, and 5, and Eternal Engine Chao Key 2. No hint available for it yet.

Shadow's Mystic Melody (2 Checks): Final Chase 3 and 5. EDIT: Found.

Eggman's Jet Engine (21 Checks): Iron Gate 3 and 5, Sand Ocean 3 and 5, Sand Ocean - Upgrade, Lost Colony 1, 3, and 5, Lost Colony Chao Key 3, Weapons Bed 1, 3, and 5, Weapons Bed Chao Keys 2 and 3, Cosmic Wall 1, 3 and 5, Cosmic Wall Chao Keys 1, 2 and 3, Cosmic Wall - Upgrade, and Cannon's Core Chao Key 1. Found in Arcaneum's FF12, in Nabreus Deadlands - Nabreus Medallion 2 Reward (1)

Rouge's Mystic Melody (7 Checks): Dry Lagoon 3 and 5, Egg Quarters 3 and 5, Egg Quarters Chao Key 3, and Mad Space 3 and 5. No hint available for it yet.

Yellow Chaos Emerald (59 Checks): With this item, I can clear my goal and release my game, and the above five will all be meaningless. Found in PoryKid's Mario and Luigi, in Joke's End - Northeast of Boiler Room 2 Block.

As for my Doom games, Doom 1 now only needs 8 more levels unlocked, and 14 more keys. (Excluding Command Control's two keys and Against Thee Wickedly's yellow skull key, which are now useless)

Doom 2 has 11 remaining levels to unlock, and 14 more keys left to find. (Excluding the Blue Keys for the Gantlet and the Citadel, which are now useless.) I will also need my Rocket Launcher to meet my goal.

 

[Arcaneum]

After a very lengthy and convoluted route, I have finally managed to open up the area that will get a lot of my hints sorted in FF12. However it's kinda zapped me of energy today, so I'm going to try and get to these tomorrow.

 

[Arcaneum]

Just taking a break for a bit, but I have managed to get a few hints in FF12, namely your Holy Glasses @Setsuna

 

[Explorer of Time]

@PoryKid575 I got another Doom level and keycard and used them to find a Yellow Neon Egg and Fake Beanstar for you. I also found Shadow's Mystic Melody and used it to clear both of Final Chase's remaining checks, but all they had was a Dark Stone for Arcaneum's FF12.

 

[Explorer of Time]

@Arcaneum Setsuna's Strike of the Ninja is locked behind the Red Skull Key for Unto the Cruel, which I've just hinted for now that I have the other skull key. It's in your FF12 at Archades - Hunt Club Owner 30 Trophy Rares Defeated Reward (1). I also found a Black Orb for you.

 

[Explorer of Time]

@Setsuna With the Gantlet received from your Castlevania, I was able to get your Super Missiles for Metroid Prime.

This was super huge for me, thank you! Given that this unlocked so much, I didn't really take notes for the ~250 things I picked up. The very least I can tell you is that if you hinted for something and it was in my SotN, you should have it now, I managed to pick up everything. Was satisfying to finally get stuff like Deva's Magic Mirror. Since there's so much, I just suggest you check your trackers, and check your games if maybe you got something good/helpful. SotN is almost completely finished now (570/585 checks) and I've hinted for the last item I'll need to complete the game to release everything. Until then, things like Jewel of Open, Soul of Wolf, or Merman Statue will open up a few of the remaining checks at a time.

@Setsuna With the Gantlet received from your Castlevania, I was able to get your Super Missiles for Metroid Prime.

I appreciate this too, this won't really be helpful for now but it's really nice to have for when I'll need it later.
