I now have access to the superbomb needed to get into Ice Palace, but I need the mirror in order to get to the dark world to actually use it. Anyway, I'm finishing up all the rest of the ALttP checks I have access to tonight.
Ran through all the Artifacts I needed in Metroid Prime, and out of the remaining two, one I can get myself and the other is in @Explorer of Time's The Waste Tunnels (MAP05) - Berserk in Doom II, thanks in advance!
Mmmkay. So beyond learning that I'll never be doing a 'set dungeon' key shuffler again, I also finally cleared Thieve's Town. All I need for GO mode is the Mirror and the big key to Ice Palace.
My power's back on, and I'll clear out as many of my newly-available SA2 and Doom 1/2 checks as I can this evening. @Vendily, I already sent you the Shell Necklace and put you in Go Mode.
@Arcaneum My very last hinted item in Sonic Adventure 2, Tails' Bazooka, is in Jabu Jabu's Belly MQ Compass Chest. This unlocks 7 checks, and it and the Chaos Emerald from PoryKid's game are the last two items that unlock checks in this game.
I didn't find any new progression items yet except for Vendily's Shell Necklace, but I have more to play after I go eat dinner.
@Setsuna I found your Rope Dart at long last, and also Currents Master for The Messenger.
@Arcaneum, I found your Song of Storms, and hinted for the level with Alex's Magic Mirror. It's at Gerudo Training Ground Lobby MQ Right Chest.
@PoryKid575 To get Setsuna's Artifact of Spirit, I need to get to The Waste Tunnels, which can be unlocked at your Gwarhar Lagoon First Underwater Area Room 1 Block. I believe my Chaos Emerald is also now available in your game, as is my Doom 1 Rocket Launcher.
I've also gotten so much new stuff for myself that I'm going to make yet another progress update Like last time, items necessary for goal completion are underlined. I'm completely walled again, so getting these items is necessary for any more checks.
Sonic Adventure 2:
Tails' Bazooka (6 Checks): Unlocks all remaining checks in my game. It's in the Jabu Jabus Belly MQ Compass Chest. Since I'm only one optional item away from 100%ing Sonic Adventure 2, I'm going to wait for this item instead of releasing for now. I can, however, release if a hinted item ends up here and Arcaneum can't get the Bazooka.
Doom 1:
Note: Items listed in check descriptions are not the actual Doom 1 items, but randomized items listed in those items' locations by Archipelago's software. If no description is listed, assume everything left in the level, listed under its E_M_ level code, is accessible with just that one item.
Spoiler:
Computer Station (E1M7) - Red Keycard (2 Checks)
Deimos Anomaly (E2M1) - Blue Keycard (0 Checks):This doesn't unlock any items, but it's necessary to reach the level's exit, and by extension my goal.
Containment Area (E2M2) - Blue Keycard (1 Check)
Deimos Lab (E2M4) - Yellow Keycard (3 Checks)
Fortress of Mystery (E2M9) (11 or 12 Checks): This unlocks everything in the level but the Yellow Skull Key item, which needs the level's Red Skull Key below. Hinted, and can be found in Arcaneum's Kokiri Forest Storms Grotto Chest.
Fortress of Mystery (E2M9) - Red Skull Key (0 or 1 Checks): If I have access to the level already, this item allows me to get one more check, the Yellow Skull Key item. If I don't have it, it's useless until I get it.
Slough of Despair (E3M2) (9 Checks): Hinted, and can be found in PoryKid's Teehee Valley Before Popple Digspot 2.
Warrens (E3M9) - Red Skull Key (0 Checks): Doesn't unlock anything, but is necessary for my goal. I had hinted for this item by mistake, believing it to be the level's other skull key, and it's at Pants Shop Birdo Flag 3 in Porykid's Mario and Luigi.
And Hell Followed (E4M7) - Red Skull Key (2 Checks)
Rocket Launcher (0 Checks): The Rocket Launcher isn't necessary to clear this game or get any checks, now that I have all the other weapons, but it's my only unfound weapon and was hinted for back when I didn't have many weapons. It can be found in PoryKid's Mario and Luigi, at Beanbean Castle Town Beanstone 1.
Doom II: Hell on Earth
Note: Like Doom 1, items listed in check descriptions are not the actual Doom 1 items, but randomized items listed in those items' locations by Archipelago's software. If no description is listed, assume everything left in the level, listed under its MAP__ level code, is accessible with just that one item.
Spoiler:
The Focus (MAP04) (4 Checks): I've hinted for this level, but the hinted item that required it is now irrelevant. It can be unlocked by buying Zora's Domain's fifth Item Shop item in Arcaneum's OoT, which PopTracker says is already accessible.
The Waste Tunnels (MAP05) (12 Checks): Setsuna's Artifact of Spirit requires this level, and it can be found in PoryKid's Gwarhar Lagoon First Underwater Area Room 1 Block. This will allow her to clear Metroid Prime's goal. One of the other checks here is the now-irrelevant Jewel of Open, making this have effectively 11 checks instead of 12.
The Crusher (MAP06) - Red Keycard (1 Check)
Refueling Base (MAP10) - Blue Keycard (0 Checks): This doesn't unlock any items, but it's necessary to reach the level's exit, so I need it for my goal.
Downtown (MAP13) - Blue Keycard (3 Checks)
Barrels o' Fun (MAP23) (11 Checks)
Bloodfalls (MAP25) - Blue Skull Key (2 Checks)
The Abandoned Mines (MAP26) (12 Checks)
The Spirit World (MAP28) - Yellow Skull Key (1 Check)
Grosse (MAP32) (10 Checks)
EDIT: Got a few things from The Messenger and removed them from the list.
EDIT2: Got the Chaos Emerald and another Doom 1 level.
Thank you! With that I was able to complete the Messenger, which means every check across all my games has been either grabbed or released. The only thing I'm still waiting on is the last Artifact for Prime, but since I've already collected everything in that game that's strictly just for goal completion, nothing will be released from that. I'm essentially done, so thank you everyone!
I cleared out all my new available checks, but the only Progression item I found for an incomplete game was the Green Pearl Bean for PoryKid's Mario and Luigi. I'm pretty sure this is useless without the Red Pearl Bean, which has not been found yet, so I'm not going to bother with a ping.
Actually... @PoryKid575, PopTracker is saying that my Chaos Emerald is accessible now, as is my Doom 1 Rocket Launcher. Would you mind getting them both when you next get a chance to play?
I've cleared my goal in Sonic Adventure 2, but I'd like to hold off on marking my game as complete in the opening post until I've obtained the Bazooka and the game's final six checks. I'm so close to 100%ing it without releasing, and I just need that Bazooka to do so.
(I will need the check Finalhazard manually released, though. It glitched and did not give an item when it was supposed to. If this isn't done by then, I can do it myself once I get the Bazooka's six checks.)
@Arcaneum@PoryKid575 I've hinted for my last two Doom 1 levels. The first, Fortress of Mystery, is found in Ocarina of Time, in the Kokiri Forest Storms Grotto Chest, and it's accessible to you right now.
The second, Slough of Despair, is in PoryKid's Teehee Valley Before Popple Digspot 2, and, though the area is accessible, PopTracker says the room with this item is not. I don't know what you need to get it, but once you do, please obtain it. It's necessary to beat Doom 1.
i think i have pretty much everything, so i'd like no more pings about things please thank you :) i will work through what i can but at this point i am likely just going to go and just try and finish the game, or at least get as close as I can and if i can't i will then go get the hints
(I will need the check Finalhazard manually released, though. It glitched and did not give an item when it was supposed to. If this isn't done by then, I can do it myself once I get the Bazooka's six checks.)
Getting down there on checks. Stands at 11/18 completed, if you do not count Sonic Adventure 2 as done, and 89.53% of all checks. Should be close to go-mode for the remaining games. Presumes most to be 1-2 items away.
Hopefully finishes this off relatively soon. Sees another Archipelago game on the list of Winter Wonderland events. Hates for this Archipelago round to overlap with yet another one. Begins the Winter Wonderland event on December 7, or about two weeks from now. (Cannot say when the Archipelago game begins, however.) Leaves a decent length of time for those with checks available to get around to them.
Is just a goal item, not an actual item. From the spoiler log:

I'm planning for it to be starting on probably Sat 14th December, so it gives everyone time to submit YAMLs, test and for me to set teams up etc!
@Explorer of Time it turns out an item I need to do one of the last trials of the game is at the Gerudo Training Grounds so I'm going to be going there shortly to hopefully get that and your level as well!
EDIT - I got Bloodfalls, turns out my Iron Boots I have to actually do stuff in here for, ew...
@Devalue are you able to just check if Golden Gauntlets show up in logic please? I just tried hinting for them (as I thought I need them for the last two trials in Ganon's Castle) but they don't seem to be coming up.
If they aren't, then I think I need to do the Water Temple and then Jabu Jabu's Belly to get the remaining Medallions...
