Casual Archipelago (Complete)

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

L.M.A.O. Incredible.

 

[Devalue]

Eevee to the Past (Part 8?)

Freedom! Has been locked pretty hard. Has not gotten more than one item in a session since October 27, according to the log. So, before the start of Hexipelago. Killed the last boss(es) a few days before that. Technically would have unlocked more than one item with the Flippers a day or two ago, if not for the Fake Flippers glitch.

Got quite a few things since the last real time playing, namely Tempered Sword, Silver Arrows, Half-Magic, Ice Rod, the aforementioned Flippers, Magic Mirror, and another bottle. Unlocked Swamp Palace with the combination of Flippers + Magic Mirror. Wanted to check one thing first: the Floating Island on east Death Mountain. Saw someone's Bombos there. Could belong to either Link to the Past player. Turned out to be Eevee's, which means go-mode. Nice.

Did not bother looting all the chests. Releases all of them at the end anyways. Battled Blind in Swamp Palace. Met Trinexx at the end of Misery Mire. Ended up needing that Ice Rod after all. Yielded Crystals #5 and #6. Needed 6 crystals to beat Ganon.

Charged straight to Ganon afterwards. Had a Blue and Green Potion on-hand. Deemed that to be more than enough. Did not enough come close to needing them. Absolutely crushed it.
Took damage once during the whole fight.



Released all the remaining items. Saw nothing super great: a Pinewood Chop for FF12, Spike Breaker for Symphony of the Night (progression, but not mentioned above), 500 Time Shards for the Messenger, and Industial Zone (Map 15) Yellow Keycard for Doom 2.

Finished all three games with that.

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

Congrats on the victory!

 

[Setsuna]

Spike Breaker for Symphony of the Night (progression, but not mentioned above)

Spike Breaker is handy to have for progression, but not required, it's useful for a couple rooms that can be bypassed if you have other upgrades. Basically, helpful unless you have Soul of Bat. Thanks though!

 

[Explorer of Time]

Industrial Zone (Map 15) Yellow Keycard for Doom 2.

This had @Setsuna's Meditation for The Messenger and Artifact of Warrior for Metroid Prime locked behind it, and I've obtained both. I also won't need the last Industrial Zone key now, by the way. It's entirely redundant once you have the other two keys.

 

[Explorer of Time]

I suppose, since I have nothing to do and everything is hardlocked, I might as well take the time to go over every progression item available, and what it unlocks. Items necessary for goal completion are underlined.


Sonic Adventure 2:

Spoiler:

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. I will hint for it after getting either the Jet Engine or both the Mystic Melody and Bazooka.

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. I can hint for it after getting the other three non-Chaos Emerald items, or if I get the Jet Engine or both Bounce Bracelet and Mystic Melody, and a hinted item is locked behind it.

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. I can hint for it after getting the other three non-Chaos Emerald items, or if I get the Jet Engine or both Bounce Bracelet and Bazooka, and a hinted item is locked behind it.

Yellow Chaos Emerald (24, 31, 38, 45, 52, or 59 Checks): With this item, I can clear my goal and release my game, and the above items will all be meaningless. Found in PoryKid's Mario and Luigi, in Joke's End - Northeast of Boiler Room 2 Block.

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:

Phobos Lab (E1M5) (16 Checks)

Central Processing (E1M6) (19 Checks): Unlocks all checks left in the level. This level's Yellow Keycard is useless since I already have both other keycards.

Computer Station (E1M7) - Red Keycard (2 Checks)

Military Base (E1M9) - Blue Keycard (3 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) - Blue Keycard (1 or 4 Checks): This unlocks whatever's at the Deimos Lab Red Keycard item. If I have both Keycards, I can get the other three items as well.

Deimos Lab (E2M4) - Yellow Keycard (0 or 3 Checks): If I don't have the Blue Keycard, this is useless, but if I do, it'll open up the last three items in this stage.

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 Blue Skull Key below.

Fortress of Mystery (E2M9) - Blue 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)

House of Pain (E3M4) (18 Checks)

Limbo (E3M7) - Blue Skull Key (2 Checks)

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.

Perfect Hatred (E4M2) - Yellow Skull Key (1 Check)

Sever the Wicked (E4M3) (16 Checks)

And Hell Followed (E4M7) - Red Skull Key (2 Checks)

Unto the Cruel (E4M8) - Red Skull Key (5 Checks): So far, the only hinted Doom 1 item, Setsuna's Strike of the Ninja, is locked behind this item. I've hinted for it, and the skull key is located at Archades - Hunt Club Owner 30 Trophy Rares Defeated Reward (1) in Arcaneum's FF12.

Fear (E4M9) - Yellow Skull Key (1 Check)

Rocket Launcher (0 Checks): Unlike Doom II, the Rocket Launcher isn't necessary to clear this game, but it'll still be very helpful. 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:

Rocket Launcher (0 Checks): Doesn't unlock any items, but necessary to beat Icon of Sin and complete my goal. Located in Lowtown - Dalan Crescent Stone Reward (2) in Arcaneum's FF12.

The Focus (MAP04) (3 or 4 Checks): One of Arcaneum's System Access Keys is located here, and as such, I've hinted for it. The level can be unlocked by buying Zora's Domain's fifth Item Shop item in Arcaneum's OoT. The level's Red Keycard item also isn't accessible until I get this level's Blue Keycard, but everything else here is accessible without it.

The Focus (MAP04) - Blue Keycard (0 or 1 Checks): To get the level's Red Keycard item, I will need both this item and the level unlock for The Focus itself.

The Waste Tunnels (MAP05) (12 Checks): Setsuna's Jewel of Open requires this level.

The Crusher (MAP06) - Red Keycard (1 Check)

The Pit (MAP09) - Blue Keycard (6 Checks)

Refueling Base (MAP10) (20 Checks): This level's Blue Keycard is useless since I already have the Yellow Keycard.

Downtown (MAP13) - Blue Keycard (3 Checks): Unlocks the Chainsaw, Invulnerability, and Red Keycard locations.

Downtown (MAP13) - Yellow Keycard (1 Check): Unlocks the Berserk 3 location and the level's exit.

Downtown (MAP13) - Red Keycard (2 Checks): Unlocks the Yellow Keycard and Berserk 2 locations.

The Inmost Dens (MAP14) (10 Checks)

Suburbs (MAP16) - Red Skull Key (0 Checks): Doesn't unlock any items but is still necessary for my goal.

Nirvana (MAP21) - Red Skull Key (0 Checks): Doesn't unlock any items but is still necessary for my goal.

Catacombs (MAP22) (8 Checks)

Barrels o' Fun (MAP23) (11 Checks)

The Chasm (MAP24) (14 Checks): The level's Blue Keycard is not necessary for anything since I already have the Red Keycard, but it will make the platforming easier. Setsuna's Rope Dart is here somewhere.

Bloodfalls (MAP25) (9 or 11 Checks): The level's exit, BFG9000, and Partial Invulnerability all require the level's Blue Skull Key, but everything else is obtainable without it. Alex Fox's Magic Mirror requires access to this level, but does not require the Blue Skull Key.

Bloodfalls (MAP25) - Blue Skull Key (0 or 2 Checks): I will need access to the level itself before using this key to find the BFG9000 and Partial Invulnerability.

The Abandoned Mines (MAP26) (12 Checks)

Monster Condo (MAP27) - Yellow Skull Key (10 Checks)

The Spirit World (MAP28) - Yellow Skull Key (1 Check)

Icon of Sin (MAP30) (18 Checks): To clear this level, I will also need the Rocket Launcher, but every item in the level is accessible without it. Vendily's Shell Necklace requires access to this level, but does not require the Rocket Launcher, and getting it will put A Short Hike in Go Mode.

Grosse (MAP32) (10 Checks)

Super Shotgun (0 Checks): This doesn't unlock any checks, so don't ping me for it, but it'll make actual gameplay much easier. It can be found in Mario and Luigi, in Badge Shop Mom Piranha Flag 1.

BFG9000 (0 Checks): Like the Super Shotgun, this weapon will make combat much easier, but doesn't unlock any checks. Unlike the Super Shotgun, I have not hinted for it and don't know where it is.

EDIT: Found Military Base and removed it from the list.

 

[Explorer of Time]

While we're waiting (29 hours since anyone found a check, as of this post), could we get another round of status updates? I know Vendily is waiting for the Shell Necklace from my Icon of Sin to get the last two checks in A Short Hike, Devalue is done, and I'm stuck, with all my items listed above. This leaves Setsuna (Messenger, Symphony of the Night, Metroid Prime), Arcaneum (FF12 and Ocarina of Time), Porykid (Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga), and Alex (Link to the Past). Which of you are blocked, and what do the four of you need to progress further?

I am also stuck, waiting on keys mainly.

The only thing that's changed for me since my last update was that big clear of SotN and beating BRC. Prime and Messenger are in the same place, and the people who have items I need have been told and are aware. I don't really have an update to give.

 

[Explorer of Time]

Alright then, looks like the only two people with checks available are @PoryKid575 and @Arcaneum.

Digging into a couple of their games with Poptracker, it appears that Arcaneum's final Chaos Emerald is accessible in a Joke's End digspot at the southernmost room of Joke's End 1, which is accessible to PoryKid (not to be confused with my own Chaos Emerald, also in Joke's End, which needs one more item to be accessible).

PoryKid, if you can get that, Arcaneum can enter Go Mode and beat and release the other Sonic Adventure 2. That should release 178 more checks for us all.

 

[Explorer of Time]

Arcaneum sent me another Doom 1 level, Military Base, and in return I found the Treasure Scope for their Sonic Adventure 2, though this will be meaningless once PoryKid finds Arcaneum's Chaos Emerald later today.

I also found a Small Key (Swamp Palace) for @Alex_Among_Foxes.

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

I'm having an issue with connecting my ROM to the lua console. It's telling me that there's an invalid ROM, but I haven't touched a thing and have absolutely no idea what's wrong with it.

 

[Explorer of Time]

Since Arcaneum just finished FF12 and got me a ton of stuff, I'm going to do a full update of my progression item list. Like last time, items necessary for goal completion are underlined.

Sonic Adventure 2:

Spoiler:

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. It's in Arcaneum's SA2's Radical Highway Pipe 3.

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. I can hint for it after getting the Bounce Bracelet and Rouge's Mystic Melody.

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. I can hint for it after getting the Bounce Bracelet and Bazooka.

Yellow Chaos Emerald (38, 45, 52, or 59 Checks): With this item, I can clear my goal and release my game, and the above items will all be meaningless. Found in PoryKid's Mario and Luigi, in Joke's End - Northeast of Boiler Room 2 Block.

The Waste Tunnels (MAP05) (12 Checks): Setsuna's Jewel of Open requires this level.

The Crusher (MAP06) - Red Keycard (1 Check)

Grosse (MAP32) (10 Checks)

BFG9000 (0 Checks): This weapon will make some combat encounters much easier, but doesn't unlock any checks. However, I have not hinted for it and don't know where it is.

As for items I found, @Setsuna, I found your hinted Strike of the Ninja for The Messenger. I also got an Energy Tank and your Artifact of World for Metroid Prime. @PoryKid575, I got you your Bean Fruit 4.

@Arcaneum, my Bounce Bracelet, which I've just hinted for, is in your SA2B, so I should get it once you beat your now-available Green Hill Zone and release.

EDIT: PoryKid found the Super Shotgun, so I removed it from this iteration of the list.

 

[Explorer of Time]

I'm having an issue with connecting my ROM to the lua console. It's telling me that there's an invalid ROM, but I haven't touched a thing and have absolutely no idea what's wrong with it.

Our Archipelago server changed its port to archipelago.gg:33927 because of inactivity yesterday. If it's still 49545, you need to change whatever connection you were using that used that number.

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

That worked perfectly, thank you!

 

[Devalue]

Edited the first post to reflect the new port.

 

[PoryKid575]

@Arcaneum You should have your emerald now

 

[Explorer of Time]

It's likely that I'll have a power outage due to bad weather in my area. In a worst-case scenario, I could go a couple days without an internet connection, which will prevent me from getting any checks in my games. The most probable scenario is that I'll lose power and get it back by tomorrow morning. Regardless, I don't expect to be able to get anything this afternoon after Arcaneum clears and releases SA2B.

EDIT: I got a brownout recently so a full-on power outage is likely. Logging off now, will not log on until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

I hope it clears up soon and your power stabilizes!

 

[Setsuna]

Don't have the time to make a big post but figured I'd update and say Metroid Prime is completely cleaned out. It hasn't been completed, I'm still missing Artifacts in order to complete it, but 100/100 checks have been obtained. I'm able to finish SotN and release everything in it as well which I'll do tomorrow. The Rope Dart in The Messenger is really the only thing I still need, since I can then complete that game once I have it, I have everything else I need.

Edit: I just finished SotN as well and released everything remaining, though I'll be honest, I was too lazy to really take a look at what was in there. If I got you anything important today I just trust that you'll already see it in your tracker(s) and know what to do with it.
