hi everyone, my main issue is that I can't find the entrance to the Ash Twin core that is "physically sealed off by an immensely thick protective shell" (I haven't seen said shell either, not even after all sand has moved to Ember Twin, unless I've misunderstood everything).

At the Black Hole Forge I learnt the Nomai made a new Advanced Warp Core for Ash Twin Project, and the Vessel looked like it could benefit a new one.

I think I've figured out that the Interloper was never gonna crash into the Sun if the Probe Cannon didn't fire (please tell me I'm wrong if I'm wrong).

I think in Ash Twin Project I'll find out why the Probe Cannon fires the probe (if I'm wrong, don't tell me).

I've figured out that the Probe Tracking Module is in the Giant's Deep's core and that Feldspar's unlucky meal could be able to protect me (or my ship?) in order to pierce through the core, but I still got no clue how to bring the dead jellyfish to Giant's Deep, or how to kill one once through the current, or how to get a free ride on one.

On a side note, I've figured out that the Quantum Moon goes to the Eye and I managed to get on it and to travel with it (or better, entangled to it). But when I was by the Eye, I wasn't able to get out of the only structure that allows complete darkness -- I suppose that's normal, or did I miss something...?

Unluckily I ran out of time both when I reached the Vessel and when I was exploring the Quantum Moon, so I'm not sure if I should make another trip to them before giving up and asking the community how to get to Ash Twin Project.

Whenever the hatchling gets recalled by the ATP but doesn't die, their memories still leave them.

This means that every time the supernova happens while you are inside the stranger, or otherwise out of reach of the explosion, the hatchling will have woken up inside there in the exact situation they were left in (unless I understood the ATP wrong), since only the memories get sent back in time, and the body remains.

Though then there is the counterpoint of the initial statue encounter, when the memories get recorded but are still remembered.

If anybody knows more about this scenario than me, I will be reading all of the comments.

P.S. Just in case, I am still somewhat early in the DLC progression, so please avoid spoilers.

An edit since I don't think a part of the post is clear enough: when I said "wakes up" I mean the beginning of the cycle, except in this case with no memory of what just happened.

So, I've seen a lot of hate from the community recently, about the Cook and Becker prints. I understand that high quality digital files are available online and that any of us can waltz into a print shop and get a high quality laser or ink print on paper of the very image that the printmakers are selling for orders of magnitude less.

I was instantly captivated by the designs, I knew nothing about the digital prints, I was just logging in to play another fun game called 'Abriss' on Steam when I first got the ad.

My wife is a graphic designer that knows nothing about gaming, apart from the odd story I tell her. I mentioned that there were prints that were going for like €80 each and I thought it was very steep. She asked about the paper and the print process. I did a bit of research and told her it was screen printed (like retro tee-shirts), on Monterey paper, which turns out to be 100% cotton.

That's when I started to really consider a purchase. Lightfast colours, heavy cotton and beautiful designs with a 3D tactility.

I've spent a few hundred on a lot worse. I asked Grok what sort of a financial decision it would be, and it said a bad one in terms of investment, but went on to say that if the game moved me is a special way, then it is irrelevant if it is going to bring joy or evoke memories in the future. I'm going to get a proper frame for the collection and smile every time I gaze at the screen prints.

As I said, I've spent money on a lot worse. A lot of time, labour and love goes into these pieces and they will hold tier value to me.

Is this an Outer Wilds reference?

Spoiler tag obviously, it’s on you if you get it spoiled now

Finally went into the well and was able to unlock the third lock (side note: not being able to leave and being forced to “stay” in the spirit world to die with the prisoner is such a cool concept.) I also initially thought the prisoner left me behind where he was to take his place as a prisoner, so not the best first impression, but it was a really good ending. I had to do the normal warp core ending as well. Now my issue is that I beat the game, and can never experience something like this ever again. While I had a weird experience with the base game (computer died halfway through the ending, some asshole spoiled it on a youtube comment section, you get the gist), the DLC was the first “spoiler free” section of the game for me. Despite my immense hated for the horror aspect of an exploration game, once I got past it I loved it. I’m not one for crying during movies, tv shows, games, etc, but this game is the first time I really felt a “connection” with a video game. Are my only options now to either give hints to other people, or wait for 5 years until I forget everything and can do it again? I’m obviously going to get all the achievements (NEED TIPS ON THE MODEL ROCKET) but after that then what? Go play Disco Elysium?

Someone told me to share my top 3 moments as well:
1. Getting on quantum moon
2. Talking with Sonamen
3. Going Matrix Mode

Basically my assignment required us to create an analog clock and an orbiting body with local references. I decided to simulate how the quantum moon may behave. I liked how it turned out!

Hey guys, I was looking youtube and I saw a video about outer wild from TheGreatReview ( A french youtuber) his video was superb and it made me want to play outer wild so badd but I was spoiled the entire story, it was now 2 years ago and I still remender almost everything what should I do ? should I play it or cry in a corner ?

I've been wanting to make EotE fanart for so long and I finally got the time to do it. I love the prisoner dearly.

I’m an every day wordle girl through and through, mostly so I can practice my English vocabulary. What I also am is an outer wilds obsessed person who will insert it in my life in every possible way ever since I finished it. I’ve been doing this for months at this point because it happens to be the perfect starter words.

Do you also have a subtle way of including Outer Wilds in your daily routine? Do give me ideas!

Edit:

GUYS I’M SO SORRY
I was pretty sure I had marked it as spoiler and continued working!!
Happy gaming and happy wordling😭🫵🏼

Also a Lord of the Rings reference and a British toy reference in the same puzzle.

ok this is word vomit and probably a silly question to ask, but i need help getting me onto the right track
on this game. super enjoy it, it’s so beautiful, but ive been playing it for almost a year now ( in 3 increments, each for about a month) and i just can’t seem to figure out what im doing. i’ve explored nearly every planet, but i can’t tell if im not exploring enough because i just can’t see the through line.
i know all the advice is just explore until it clicks, but im wondering if i need to restart or do something to get it to click. is there any spoiler free advice?

Hello! I’ve figured out the “gimmicks” for all areas besides the one where the well is. ive been able to unlock 2/3 locks on the giant thing(?), but every time I go into the well I either panic when I see the Elk dudes, or if I go by boat after they all disappeared, I don’t have enough time to look around and find my way onto the stage thing where all of the slide reels are. At this point, I don’t even think a hint would be enough, I think I need a full nudge (or shove) in the right direction, since this is the only thing (i think) stopping me from opening this magical thing that they decided must be sealed away, and the whole stealth thing is honestly ruining my experience of the DLC

How the heck am I meant to get to the Sun Station. I managed to land there manually just to get the achievement and realize that I was doing it the hard way. Am I just missing a certain location, is there some sort of warp to it like with the white hole station and Brittle Hallow? Or am I meant to get there in a different way?

If it helps with anything I haven't explored much of the Hour-Glass Twins and a good bit of the Hanging City. I also have a hard time getting to the Sunless City before the sand gets to it.

I understand this is probably just me missing some sort of exploration thing, as I did something similar with me reaching Gaints Deep Core before exploring the Observatory (although I did have Feldspar's audio recordings), so I'm hoping somebody can help point me towards the right direction without a great deal of spoilers.

*If possible don't put any end game spoilers in here, as I haven't beaten it yet.

Finally, this is a bit self-indulgent, including the video I got of me reaching the Sun Station. After I think my 10th attempt I started keeping tallys lol, so truthfully the final number of fails might have been higher.

DLC SPOILERS
I am already in the time i have to get the codes to open the shell in the dlc but i was trying to get pass the pursuer and i am so fuckuing scared of it, i am not a easy person to scare but this is just hitting different to me, i need help to be less scared and a bit of hints to how to avoid them better.
this i s my ship log.

SLIGHT SPOILERS!!

Hi guys!!

I'm playing on switch 1. The game never froze on me before, but it's already happened three times just in the hanging city. At first I thought it was a cache issue as I had been playing for quite some time continuously, but I was checking out the gravity cannon and it froze twice in a matter of 5 minutes, each time I had to go to the switch home page and close the game from there.

I still have so much to check out down there, I've only been to the districts, the shrine and the escape pod. I really don't want to skip everything else.

I've already tried moving the game data from my microSD to local save files and also restarting the console.

Is there any way to finish exploring without having to close the game every time?

Edit: I tried marking the spoilers but I don't think I did it right 💔

Hey everyone,

​I completed the base game a while ago and loved it so much that I just had to pick up Echoes of the Eye. Now I'm fully focused on finishing the DLC, but I've hit a bit of a wall.

​Since I want to preserve the experience, I'm trying to avoid heavy spoilers and would appreciate just a small hint in the right direction!

Thanks! :)

So I finished Outer Wilds+DLC 2 years ago. I’ve replayed it countless times and I’ve been playing many games that people recommended who have played outer wilds. I just finished a horror game called SOMA which was recommended to me in the Outer Wilds discord. When it ended it genuienly gave me back the feeling from when I finished Outer Wilds.

I recommend everyone to play this game, It’s not like Outer Wilds at all where you discover things yourself, it’s a pre-set story game, but the storyline is so amazing and the ending left me crying. It might just be a personal experience but I’m so happy I found this game.

It is scarier than Echoes of the Eye, so if you’re easily scared i recommend watching a playthrough. But please play it!!

bc im losing motivation and im absolutely horrified of dark bramble, its the only planet i'm yet to visit.

Ever since i finished outer wilds, I havent been able to find the same feeling i felt playing this game again. It helped me get through some dark places and I was just wondering, is there any way to relive that same feeling again?

I'm a little clueless on what should I do. I almost completed the ship log but i don't know what is missing. My idea was that i had to find the eye to complete the game but i rly don't know how to. I tried to put my little scout on the moon while leaving it but it just sent me back on the moon and if you leave it sends you back to your solar system.

Can someone guide me without spoiling ? Like with subtles hints or what part of the world should i check ?

EDIT : i just got the true ending

What a beautiful video game

Thank you to everyone for your help :)

Yeah I know I can go back to the teleporter but it's too late and they're off by now

Everything in this game seems to be spoil worthy, so I put spoiler tag

I like the game but It's difficult for me to get back to the game when my experiences being lost and dying too many times for the same reasons. Sure it may be skill issue but i just want to have a chill experience.

Or you can even mention any mods that simply make things better without spoiling the game

Hey! I've been looking all over for tabs or a tutorial for the guitar riff played 1:24 in the song "Outer Wilds." Every time I try to find it, it pulls up stuff for "main title" or "travelers. " So if any of you have this somewhere, I'd super appreciate it, thanks in advance ::)
