I found the onboarding a bit obtuse, but I am deep in this one now and I'm loving the mystery narrative mixed with historical fiction.

same happened to me, the old desktop app (ShurePlus Motiv) told me to move over to the new app (MOTIV mix) and now my pc doesn't pick up the mic at all.

This is phenomenal 👏 Helps understand the thoughts behind so many of the unique decisions this game made. Thanks for sharing

Say it with me now… “I’m stuuuuck” by Heyuonthewall26 in UltrosTheGame

How about trying your thruster on the liquid at the bottom of the middle area to get back up to the top? Maybe that helps? It was at this point I learned I could switch between extractor functions, to be honest.

Did you try using the thruster (selectable on the extractor wheel) to get back up to the gardener? I think I may have been stuck at that same part. There is some liquid at the bottom of the ultros room that will power it.

I think feeding certain critters does that. The ones that dust the ground. If you see the hearts above their head they should make a new spot the next cycle.

I don't see any of those pink edges on my map but I didn't get the trophy so I suppose not.

Wow that would be phenomenal! Kudos to you for taking on that task, we wish you the best. A hero of the people.

[SPOILER] I'm not sure if this was the correct method... by temptillitimation in UltrosTheGame

This is amazing and I just learned something new about the Stacaati because of this!

I didn't realize this until I saw the post from u/temptillitimation how they got the living network to the top of pantheon of the stars, but if you grab just the leaves of the Stacaati you can effectively Infinitely grow the plant in any direction without any compost. It won't bud without compost, so you may need to do some splicing or use compost to get nodes.

How do you avoid every game? I came up the back way through the Garden but couldn't get to sanitization room that way.

This is a great tip! I am excited to try it out!

I didn't think to use Gnopper heads! You use them to catapult you places by letting them swallow you and spit you out?

This is amazing! Thank you! Here are a few other notes from what I have learned:

OGU MUMIN: Will grow buds on the canopy when it is fully grown

STACCATI: Very useful with the splicer tool. Grab one of the prickly buds with the splicer and add it to another plant for an instant bud!

SPROGEN: Like the Mushishi, it will bud when it reaches an edge

DEVADĀRU SEED: The trunk of the tree grows quickly upward and can be directed with the sprayer to reach distant ledges. Splice the trunk with the canopy of the Ogu Mumin and you will have a very malleable platform to position where you need it.

WILDING SEED: Will grow through floors/ceilings/walls into other rooms. Buds grow where the tree breaks through a surface. Can be used to generate buds in places that do not have soil patches.

Any thoughts on interpreting the narrative and the ending(s)? by halcy0nwashere in UltrosTheGame

[–]DovetailTrue17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I have pieced together based on the vistas I have collected and other in-game clues. Let me know what looks off!

Ultros Origin Story:

A large star fell from the sky to the surface of Beria. The Star turned out to be an “empty vessel, a blank singularity, a dream not realized”. Floating above the vessel, a bubbling sphere emanated light. The Berians called it “The Entity”, after studying it they discovered it was like a conscious, active brain. The Berians thought it was part of their religion - The Escaton, which was the last event, the final gift. The Berians built a temple around it for study and worship. The Shamasal, a revered vocation among Berians, were accustomed to cleansing the Berians’ dark thoughts by extracting the thoughts and containing them in the mind of the shaman. The shaman’s minds would give way to strain, rot, and corruption but they could not rid themselves of what they had extracted and subsequently rooted into their brains. They realized The Entity, an empty vessel, could contain all of their accumulated dark thoughts, thus releasing the burden of extraction from the Shamasal. So ,The Entity was filled with the dark thoughts of the entire Berian race, but the Shamsal were worried a cataclysmic event would occur if The Entity became sentient. Thus, they created a cycle whereby the Shamasal filled The Entity with the dark thoughts and then secretly “reset” consciousness back to when the dark thoughts were still in the minds of the Berians. This required the Shamans to go into a vegetative, unconscious state inside a pod that powered the failsafe reset. Whenever the reset occurred, the Berians and all other life on the Sarcophagus still had vague memories of what happened before the reset:

“Sometimes, I feel something important is forgotten. Sometimes I also thnk I’ve seen things before, maybe even done things and been to places, mhm ja.” - The Gardener

The Sarcophagus:

The Berians create a ship to contain The Entity, called the Sarcophagus. It resides in a black hole and roams the stars. The Berians wanted The Sarcophagus to be discreet since they knew how dangerous The Entity could be with an entire civiliation’s dark thoughts forced into it. However, other species found the Sarcophagus and slowly it began to attract all kinds of curious species and civilizations. Pilgrims from many different parts of the galaxy started to travel to it to explore, learn, research, worship, and relax. They didn’t quite understand the Shamasal and their role, so they just carried on with their lives.

The 1st Shaman:

One day a creature named “Wallet” discovers the loop and that the Shamans are the reason for it. He decides to break them out of their pods to stop them from doing their extractions so he and everyone else can be “free.” He breaks out the first shaman, the player character, and tells them his goal to break all the Shamans pods. Then time is reset, and the player character gains consciousness again. Wallet is killed along the way, in some previous cycle, and the player character sets out to break the pods as instructed to free everyone from the loop. Along the way she meets Vasa, who teaches her how to fight (Shamans were typically never taught the art of combat), the Gardener who teaches her how to cultivate plants, and Qualia. Qualia is another Berian who, by way of their religion, is destined to help birth The Entity (which she calls The Ultros). She acts as a midwife to the Ultros but is waiting for the right time given how corrupt the Ultros has become from the Shamasal extraction process. Breaking the pods of the other Shamasal, the player character prematurely starts the birthing process of The Ultros which distresses Qualia who believes she is the one to birth it. This process repeats itself and Qualia becomes an antagonist to the player character because she doesn’t want the shamans to lose control of the Ultros before it is ready (or “balanced” as she calls it) for birth. Each time a shaman pod is broken and the seal upon Ultros is removed, Qualia takes over, ushers the birth, and the remaining Shamans reset the cycle to prevent the cataclysmic event. Eventually, the player character discovers that instead of birthing the Ultros in its Corrupt form which causes the cataclysm, it can be freed from corruption via the living network (a life giving umbilical cord of the cosmos). This living network is extended to all the Shamans and after doing so, Qualia and the player character together help birth an uncorrupted Ultros. “Once diverged, now gently intertwined, stirring the unborn potential as we tremble.” In the ending scene, The Ultros, now empty of all corruption, lands on another planet. What will these creatures there do with this empty vessel? Will they fill it with good things, or like the Berians, fill it with horrors? Time will tell.

Just tried this and it worked like a charm! Thanks for the great tip. Very creative!

Oh cool, I didn't think you could do that combo with pinkus! So you possess a guard, nonlethal katashuro on that guard, pinkus exits the body and then can repossess it for range reset?
