I thought the boldest move here was putting The Wall in D tier. So many people live and die by The Wall, and even as a diehard Underhang enjoyer I could never bring myself to put The Wall so far down. I think the strength of the Wall is that its difficulty is focused on making *ascent* difficult. For the expected path, climbing down the wall goes so much faster and makes the infrequent shelters a nonissue... but for those that want to try and "cheat" their way into 5P from the wrong direction, it poses an immensely difficult challenge that only becomes consistent with extensive experience. In some ways, reaching the top of The Wall can be as exhilarating as taking the roundabout path up the leg and through 5P.

i think to an extent my biggest issue with the wall is just. the white lizard room. which i'm almost wondering if that's just... a quirk of the AI, that they all congregate there. but the fact that it's such a long and usually uneventful climb to get back up to that room is the killer for me. i also wonder if my gripes with the wall stem not from the wall itself, or even from the underhang trip to the wall, but rather just the fact that the gate to pebbles is a 5-karma gate in a zone where farming karma is basically impossible, forcing you to keep going past it and to the wall simply because it's way more convenient. which boils down to just having an issue with a karma system itself, which i very much do and always have, but that's a story for another video ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i actually think it's great that the wall is designed specifically to be climbable, at an extra cost, i just wish that cost wasn't a massive timesink to get back to the parts that are actually challenging. it's designed to be tedious rather than, like, difficult i also feel kinda bad for how low i put the underhang here bcuz it's really cool on survivor/monk (better than the leg, even!) but i just never enjoy it on any other difficulty due to the ridiculous spawns i don't outright dislike any region in the game besides the two in F tier, for what it's worth, and even then... the gutter is aaaalmost D tier just for how good the non-swimming rooms are, but it's not enough for me. but like. most of the regions in the game are pretty dang good and i like them, just, not every region is as good as the others!

@@CawCophony honestly, I've found the underhang is more enjoyable than the leg *because* of the difficult spawns on other characters. When playing on the "hard mode" characters, the spitter spiders just ruin any and all appeal the Leg otherwise has over the Underhang. Constantly getting stunned by offscreen creatures, and there's just too damn many of them to count. The underhang is consistent, and the whole experience between the leg and the underhang are the reason why the Exterior is my favorite region of the base game. I will say, though, the max karma gate is... a confusing choice, honestly. I actually do like the Karma gate for that first playthrough. It forces you to learn how to navigate each region before they let you move on to more dangerous territory. But the gate in the Underhang is the worst gate in the game, imo. You'll notice there's a fairly consistent trend gates have elsewhere: if a gate is meant to be entered for progression, it will almost *never* be a max karma one. Max karma is typically reserved for regions that are meant to be challenging relative to the current one, and usually not intended for the main story from that direction. Many gates like this will also hold off on providing a shelter, to prevent new players from being stuck. Although, not quite max karma, the DS gate in outskirts is actually a fine example. The one in GW satisfies both. As such, I find it confusing as to why they force you to "learn" an otherwise perfectly *linear* region. There's plenty of food nearby, but forcing players to learn to cope with the grapple worm just to strip it away with 0G is baffling. More criminally, the gate in the underhang is *too* well hidden. If I'm guiding someone, I have to essentially spoil the gate to them for fear that they will miss it and trap themselves at the wall, missing the much more substantial 5P region. The one-way lock at the wall would not have been necessary if the wall itself wasn't so easily accessible from Industrial through Chimney. Generally, I prefer the leg's presentation for survivor and monk over the Underhang... but the Underhang is inoffensive on repeat playthroughs, and it puts the grapple worm to better use. Getting good at the grapple worm is incredibly fun in the Underhang, you can essentially ignore the presence of DLLs once you learn the ropes (pun intended). If not for that damn gate placement, I'd insist you put it much higher. As for the wall, yeah...the white lizard room is a pain. It's not a bug either, that's a "swarm" room. Some creatures have a preference for some rooms, and will go there to hang out. I find most of the trouble for that room, though, is on the way down. It's a sufficient challenge for going up, but going down you're given no choice but to push through them. What makes it annoying, however, isn't the abundance of lizards so much as it is the *type* of lizard. White lizards are notoriously stubborn. They refuse to budge when given sufficient stimulus to think you are literally anywhere else, opting to rather wait for you to come to them. The only thing saving that room for me is the big pit you can conveniently knock them into. Otherwise... That pole plant placement is fantastic, especially if you *do* come from the underhang. The first time I ended up there, I could only reach the top by letting lizards carry me (hence, I could not make it to the gate)... but the one time I did make it that far, the pole plant snatched me. I have never loved pole plants more. Going through the white lizard room filters out a lot of those first attempts, and makes that moment so much more glorious.

Still the only time I have gone through 5p is rivulet so far.

Yes, the main reason I dislike Garbage Wastes is not the scavs, not the leeches, not vultures etc. - it's the awful rough terrain with all of these non-stop one-block sized hills and valleys making it incredibly frustrating to traverse. The past version having much less of it is automatically a massive improvement for me. Also, I don't find accid pits that hard to avoid, even as Spearmaster.

I feel like the true Submerged Superstructure experience, as you point out, is to stumble into it early. It's such a beautiful region that is so tightly tuned to Rivulet's base mechanics, and I explored every nook and cranny of it even with those obscenely short cycles, even managing to make that terrifying climb up to Moon's Heart without the cell. Flying through the region with the rarefaction cell later is fun and exhilarating, but mainly because of that strong bond with the region initially.

funny story, I had almost the exact same experience with submerged superstructure but then had the almost opposite reaction (and also, for me, this happened on my First First playthrough basically immediately after finding LttM for the first time, you could say I was out of my *depths*). I don't like the region because I got myself trapped there for, like, 8 hours on my first playthrough. I was super fun until I realized "oh shit I'm stuck." (Also I misunderstood the passage tutorial, so when I used Survivor passage on my first playthrough, I literally just passaged to the shelter I was already in and I had full karma when that happened, so I just didn't understand how the quick travel system works). So, I had to go online to look up the map, learn about how creature spawns work, learn some movement tech and stuff, and I felt kind of robbed since I now had this knowledge that actively makes the game less immersive. It's definitely one of the instances of "how much I like this thing and how good it is are on opposite ends of the quality spectrum." Anyways, much later, I reach Five Pebbles for the first time and have this slight deja vu since the structure looks familiar to something, but I'm not sure what, and I think that led to me having an elevated impression on the Five Pebbles region. I tragically found the island, but didn't notice the cloak. Wouldn't have mattered anyways since I literally just ate all of her neurons. But kinda funny.

for the topic of why Garbage Wastes (past) isn't a completely new zone like Waterfront Facility, or Undergrowth (I get the impression that The Rot would've been a completely new zone anyway due to just how different it is and how much it adds compared to the usual Five Pebbles) it's because of the Conditional Links system that the devs only made later on in Downpour's development. before that if they wanted to make any significant changes to a reigion at different points in the timeline they needed to make it an entirely new area, the Conditional Links system allowed them to make some pretty big changes to an area (e.g. the past Garbage Wastes) whilst still having it be the same area in the code. they've outright stated in the dev commentary that they didn't feel like Waterfront Facility and Undergrowth merited being their own seperate regions but the fact that they hadn't made the Conditional Links system by the time they made those areas demanded that they be coded as entirely new areas. if they'd made the Conditional Links system earlier (or if they'd made Waterfront Facility and Undergrowth later) it's possible that those regions would've just been past Shoreline (though possibly still with the new name) and future Drainage System (again though, very much possible they still would've given it the new name, especially since almost every other Saint region got renamed) they also mention that Rivulet's version of the Memory Crypts was their first use of the Conditional Links system because the usual Memory Crypts just wouldn't be feasible to play through with Rivulet's shorter cycles... perhaps if they'd never made that system Rivulet would've gotten their own unique version of Shaded Citadel, just so that they could have the Memory Crypts changes their shorter cycles demanded...

While I don’t necessarily agree with some placements, your justification and reasonings for why you put them there are pretty much bulletproof. Like you said, you can’t really be wrong when ranking regions because it’s such a subjective experience that everyone has differently, and I love that about RW. Really the only one that actually threw me for a loop was the wall and FILTRATION of all things at #9. I’d probably switch the 2 if it were me but everything else is perfectly reasonable in the way you framed it. I love the wall because I use the chimney canopy route to avoid all of the exterior, but I understand why you like the exterior. It’s a lot more fun after you experience it once. That first time is brutal. I also had a much easier time scaling moons superstructure than I ever do pebbles if I take his exterior for some reason. I understand I’m an outlier bc moons leg and wall have ridiculous spawns

Memory crypts would be my number one pick. I just adore the dumb metal birds that go clack clack. It feels like the perfect representation for me of the absolute adoration and hatred I hold for this amazing game. When I discovered rainworld I tried to find out everything I could about it before even buying the game so all of the major plot points had been ruined for me by the time I started playing. I was on a call with one of my rainworld friends whe I first came into memory crypts because they were guiding me through the game and all that they said to me about it was to just keep going across and to look out for the miros birds, providing no other information about the region. Memory crypts was one of the only true surprises I have experienced in this game and the absolute terror it struck in me the first time I played it as survior at first made me frustrated but it only ever made me enjoy the game even more. To this day I cannot get over the clanky scissor birds that will always hold a place in my heart. Also, as a completey unrelated comment; THE THREAT MUSIC IN GARBAGE WASTES ROCKS. I LOVE THE BOINGS SO MUCH OH MY GOD. I'll have to disagree with you about the swimming choices tho. Rooms with water in them are always so hard for my computer to handle so they always end up being really laggy and overall unpleasant to traverse.

Edit: surprised and delighted to see you place memory crypts so high! a lot of people hate it but it's one of my favorite subregions, simply *because* it forces you to play it like a stealth game. I personally am a lot better at that than fighting my way through a million lizards or spiders. So basically I agree with all of your reasons for liking it

What I'm noticing from this is that rain world region opinions seem to be extremely subjective - like, on my first playthrough, I hated five pebbles with a passion - but not because of the anti-grav or the long legs, i thought that was quite fun, but just because I had taken the leg to wall route and it lost all the emotional value since I had already found the actual puppet, and i spent such a long time in five pebbles only for the only reward at the end being a shortcut to somewhere I didnt think I would ever need to go to again. Also, I think squidcadas are best fren so I loved sky islands 🤷♀️

Great video, my favorite region is probably recursive transform array and general system bus solely for personal motives. I was desperate, after hours and hours on my first playthrough of getting courage to deal with shaded citadel memory crypds and the leg/underhang, i thought i would have some spare time at five pebbles but i didn't! Because i went through the unfortunate development route. Why? Because i thought it was the only route, because i was DUMB. Also because it was the only region on five pebbles that people talked about. So after hours of dying and almost giving up on rain world i decided to see the map and. For my surprise. There was another route you could take. And i straight up did that. And men, i was flabbergasted in a good way, it was so peaceful, without any DLLS. Random gods playing was so good. And i finally reached five pebbles, i could finally rest.

so there is hope, the shaded citadel will become cool and stop messing with my arachnophobia? thank god lol.... beeing there the first time, cause i didnt know how to progress between moon and pebbles was a nightmare and a half.... espacially if you picked up some of this popcorny Grassticks in the wasteland in order to turn your surviver into a 2 spears carrieing killing machiene. i wonder if thats a new addition that you can have eatable spears as a survivor since ive never seen anyone use them in any rainworld video but the down side of it is, if you have no lightsource in this particular place, everytime you stop moving, it feels like a spiderlag is over your body wich freaks the hell out of me everytime, 35:29 ahh i remember, the old camera used to swap between upper and under section everytime you jumped on a plattform. that was a nessecairy change, threw me off so many times 41:29 whats that game? looks interresting. 57:03 i hate this jump as a survivor. devs please make the gap a bit smaller, i had to climb the entire wall at least 5 times, to finally make the jump, not mentioning, the 12 deaths i collected via the invisible white pathblocking lizzards on the way. that jump is just mean and im still getting the hang of the movement. i realy do like the ovearall area as it has a realy ballanced approach to all mechanics, including, befriedining my toll scav homies and beeing an important asset for the story progression it has it all. besides of that jump and the obvious wall segment with the cluttering lizzards blocking the only path to progression the most cozy place in the game 1:12:50 100% agree. drainage system made me realize that new players, need a bit more directional guidance in order to have a good starter experience. if you do the same mistake like me, never having played the game before and decide to start the game in the jolly coop campaign you'll realy be testing out the limits of your friendship by accidentally chosing this path, by not knowing where to go first. this game realy is punishing for people wich did not look up a couple youtube tutorials first. alone to propperly set up the jolly coop campaign can dick your experience totally over.... the first 6 groupe deaths in my case happend, cause the shelters somehow have been turned off lol, so we never left the outskirt, before the first rain washed away that dream lol.. and thats usually where the rainworld coop experience ends xD so incase someone reads this with the plan of playing coop, do make sure to propperly read all the options in your remix section you will want to change the input commands for every single player and you will want to make sure, to set your settings as easy as possible, including unlocking all the slug cats there to have the best sort of multiplayer experience, this game is different to what you usually played and if you or your friends are not liking to suffer, its gonna be a short journey if you dont follow these steps.

I shouldn't really color a video based on the cover. That's my bad. Also, to be fair, LTTM's innards are explorable by mostly everyone (except Struts,Vents..). SubS and such are also ranked pretty highly (though that's mainly influenced by your love for RW swimming and first experiences). I guess it just felt weird to see LTTM's wall ranked a fair few dozen ranks higher than Pebble's.

I think it's their memory of going there too early on accident (be it from Outskirts or accidentally doubling back from Shoreline), not knowing how to swim or deal with enemies, and then having 2/3 entrances be extremely difficult unless you know what you're doing. On hard mode spawns, it's one of my preferred regions to pass through because there's very little bullshit here once you know what you're doing. If I could change anything about it, I would either simplify the path to Garbage Wastes (perhaps with fluctuating water like Spearmaster) or maybe have the region connect to Shoreline instead of GW so that it feels more viable as a route. I'm always annoyed that it pours me out in GW when Shoreline itself is ALSO connected to Subterranean (if it weren't for Hunter, I'd also say remove the Subterranean gate from Shoreline).

It’s just boring, especially on non hard mode campaigns. The only remotely interesting spawns are all concentrated in the top left of the region, and as survivor they’re not even that special, just a few basic lizard types. Harder campaigns at least add dropwigs and centipedes for a bit of spice, but again they’re just in that top left area. The rest is just boring IMO. Red leeches and snails don’t have interesting behaviors and barely pose a threat, and the swimming challenges have simple enough layouts that they really aren’t all that interesting once you understand the swimming mechanics. I mean the lowest passages are just straight lines in terms of level design. The more puzzley areas on the route to filtration are better but still not very exciting once you’ve gone through once and understand how to do them.
@Fieryketchup520

Drainage has 3 situations where you're passing through it, 2 of three aren't fun and the last one is just alright. Early game, where you have very little or no swimming experience. Late game, where you have some swimming experience. Post game, where you have extensive swimming experience. Early game is self explanatory, being thrown into the fire of swimming hell like 2 hours after booting up the game is not a good time. The region also has poor level design, with it funneling you towards filtration. I don't hate the idea of Early FS, I actually had a very good time going there as my 3rd region, but it doesn't really lead anywhere good since subterranean is hard to get through, and even if you manage to cross the shelter dead zone between the left and right side of the region, you have to figure out how to use jetfish, because the water tunnel right before the first shelter in shoreline is near impossible without them. Late game is fine, the path leading to filtration makes sense, and it isn't a 5 hour suffering marathon to get through since you kind of know what you're doing by then with swimming. Post game this region is simply boring as fuck. No enemies, no platforming, just sort of easy swimming sections. I'd argue it's the least interesting region post game, at least farm arrays and shaded look cool. Drainage just has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, swimming simply isn't an interesting mechanic for most players, and if you don't find the swimming sections fun, then you won't like the region.

@@petalwhispers that’s true, I was playing through silent construct today as well and much of the inactive rot there also doesn’t have X’s, (though some does), so that’s just inconsistent visually and doesn’t mean what’s in the heart isn’t rot. I still think it’s a weirdly significant detail to randomly throw into a sub-areas visuals though. And the DLL in waterfront doesn’t prove anything, waterfront is also connected to pebbles and GW which are areas we know for a fact have rot so it more likely just came from there. Also it’s on the left side of the area, closer to those two, making it even less likely it has anything to do with moon.

i very much individually ranked the subregions based on my personal enjoyment of them but there are certainly points where multiple subregions in one region ended up close together in large part because they contain very similar terrain or creature variety. but there's also plenty of subregions not ranked anywhere close to their main region. do note that any "main" region ranking excluded the subregions to whatever extent was possible as the intent was to rank that main region as "any part of the region that isn't a subregion". so there's no duplication.
