My Yuusona, Yuuki

I unfortunately do not have a picture because my drawing skills are terrible and she would’ve ended up looking like a stick figure lol. I came up with this OC a month ago after seeing how interesting everyone else had made theirs and decided to try my hand at it.

She is a lioness beastwoman from the Sunset Savannah who has a fun loving yet strict personality, and she isn’t afraid to speak her mind when she thinks that people are making bad decisions. Yuuki doesn’t let anything stop her from reaching her goals, and she’s pretty skilled at magic. She has pale skin with golden brown lion ears and a tail, and she has six earrings, three between each ear, with two of them each being on her cartilage, and then one each on her earlobe.

Basically, I made her a female twisted version of Simba as a foil to Leona‘s personality because he’s twisted from Scar. I haven’t given her a signature spell, she hasn’t discovered one yet

When the black carriage picked her up she was taken to NRC rather than RSA because the dark mirror saw the same spirit of persistence, but it was also split on her strictness, so it couldn’t decide whether to place her into Savanaclaw or Heartslabyul. In the end, she actually got a split magestone in her magical pen with both colors and she goes between the two dorms.

She does spelldrive practice with Leona, the equestrian club with Riddle, and she also has joined the mountain lovers’ club with Jade because she loves mushrooms and she took pity on him, so they became fast friends.

Do we think the toe biter buggy will have venom buildup on its attacks?

I did some research and found out that the toe biter, which we know is going to be featured as a new buggy when the pond update goes live, has an interesting way of hunting. It essentially stalks its prey, lying in wait, and then strikes with a painful bite. This bite injects a very venomous saliva that causes paralysis and then the toe biter is able to suck out the liquefied remains.

Also, the adults cannot breathe underwater, so they have a specialized breathing tube that they use that is similar to a snorkel, and this breathing tube can actually be retracted into their abdomen.

The magestones in the magical pens

So, I was trying to look at the stones in the magical pens really close when it showed the foreshadowing toward the overblot scenarios in the game, and I was trying to figure out what real life gemstones they would be. I think I have an idea somewhat, but I was wondering what other people thought

Here are my ideas:

Heartslabyul: Ruby

Savanaclaw: Citrine

Octavinelle: Diamond

Scarabia: Garnet or bloodstone

Pomefiore: Amethyst

Ignihyde: Sapphire

Diasomnia: Emerald

My base, my buggy team, and some update news

I just wanted to share my base and a couple of my buggies. I don’t usually build houses, I just stuck around the first Ranger outpost and started to build outward. My bed is actually inside the outpost, and all of the other buildings are for maximum coziness.

I have good news in regards to the pond update on August 11, as I have watched the new livestream and the team mentioned they will be dropping teasers all throughout the month of July, starting on the seventh. I also have it on good authority from one of JadePGCrafted’s videos that there will unfortunately never be frogs in G2. Tadpoles are getting a return, but no frogs. Obsidian also has said that they feel uncomfortable putting animals like squirrels in the game as enemies, because obviously people wouldn’t like killing animals like that. People squish bugs all the time, but killing something cute like a squirrel or a mouse would seriously border on animal cruelty, especially in a game like this.

Which events are everyone’s favorites?

I really liked the White Rabbit Fest and the Halloween ones. And I also hope that they someday do a second rerun of Let the Bell of Solace Ring.

I started the game very late, January of this year, actually, so I missed a lot of the good events.

What are some of the absolutely craziest, seemingly impossible or impractical things you have seen someone speculate about getting in G2?

I love going back through a lot of the archived posts on the sub, and I found one post in particular where the OP had asked others about what they were hoping to see. This post was apparently written several months ago, back in September, and one of the strangest responses in the comment thread was to have armor from some of obsidian’s other games, like the NCR Ranger armor from Fallout: New Vegas. The armor is made up of bug parts, not leather and metal. I’m obviously not counting Dozer’s armor full set.

The person apparently also wanted to see a cannon that would shoot Diet Coke, and I really don’t know how that would be practical. The soda obviously would not exist in the fictional world of the game, we have brands such as Jabby Cola. Another very strange suggestion was cracking a skateboard, which would be impossible to maneuver around a park full of uneven terrain and 10 foot high blades of grass.

Another user had commented that maybe there should be shrimp in the park when the pond update releases. Shrimp are ocean dwellers, they would not survive in a freshwater pond. The weirdest part was that the user had said that it should be able to be a water buggy, and a shrimp is very clearly not an insect.

Oh, I also have some very sad news. I was going through a YouTube video by JadePGCrafted, and he has confirmed that there will never be frogs added in G2. I know a lot of people were hoping for them, maybe as a mini boss, since we have tadpoles confirmed to be returning, but sadly this will never happen. The developers have talked about each creature they add to the game having a clear purpose, and there have been discussions about many people feeling uncomfortable killing non-insect enemies in the game. I mean, even Dozer was a stretch.

Here is the link to the video

How big do we think the pond is going to be?

I had heard someone say in another post, I can’t remember which one, that the pond was potentially going to be bigger than the statue area and the community garden area (complete with the greenhouse and pumpkin patch) combined. Then another person was able to build into the out of bounds areas and provide pictures.

So, I found my way back up onto the top of the podium and looked at the brochure map. We know it isn’t really accurate to scale, but I think it does provide a good enough estimate. It could be bigger than the pond from the first game, because to me, it looks almost like the size of a lake.

Actually, in regards to the brochure map, I realized something a little late, that it had shown the new community garden area before the Toxic Tangle update was ever even released

I’m extremely sad that Chenya isn’t in Heartslabyul. I wish that he would transfer to NRC, if that’s even possible.

He’s literally a human version of the Cheshire Cat, I don’t understand why he isn’t in that house! It’s totally obvious. He and Riddle have been best friends since childhood and they do a lot of teasing with each other. He perfectly fits the theme and aesthetic of the dorm.

What do you guys think? If it were possible to transfer schools in the official media, because I’m not sure if it’s actually been shown, would he do it?

Hey guys, new info with the summer update for Into the Abyss just dropped

I’m labeling this as a spoiler just in case, but I thought you all might like to know. This person posted on Twitter about a new tier 4 scorpion and other fresh new additions. I’m not sure if he is on obsidian’s team, but he seems to have a pretty good knowledge of what’s going on with the game. Unfortunately, the video is in Spanish and I have no idea how to translate it. I have provided the link.

https://youtu.be/GP5vZM-YHgU?si=H07TgEtJ6Se--njw

Hopefully some of you guys can find a way to translate the video, because I would love to hear the new updated details in English

What ideas for new meals would you like to see in G2?

I wish that more of the creatures in the game dropped raw meat, because I could easily see meal options such as “Cricket Stew” using cricket drumsticks and maybe mushrooms and carrot and potato bits. Like, the option was literally right there with the cricket drumstick item that we get as loot when killing them, and I’m extremely disappointed that it’s not a food item. Because, you know, when people say drumstick the first thing you think of is either a chicken or turkey leg, and I was hoping this would serve the same purpose.

I could also see another meal item like “Poached Ladybug and Aphid” with snail slime being used as either a sauce or a reduction. I also wish that there was a player version of Dozer’s boss meal, the Goopy Gobbler

What other ideas do people have for different meals? Or even suggestions on what creatures in the game they think should drop raw meat for cooking?

I’ve looked through the patch notes for the first game, and I’m asking out of curiosity. Was the 1.0 update simply considered a PTB, or was it actually the fully finished game released in its entirety?

The reason I’m asking is because somebody in another post had told me that the Fully Yoked update, the last update that obsidian ever did for G1, was considered the actual finished game. They said that the 1.0 release was strictly the PTB, and I’m not sure if that’s true.

I checked the official patch notes on the wiki, and I understand that they kept adding content after 1.0 was released until they got to Fully Yoked. But the specific patch notes for the 1.0 official release, when it came to PlayStation back in 2022, never mentioned anything about the public test build.

Can someone refresh my memory?

u/Successful_Page_4524 — 25 days ago

The announcement for the Into the Abyss update came out just yesterday, and already people are jumping the gun.

People apparently think that the game is suddenly in the 1.0 release and that it’s getting achievements. I’ve scoured every single post on the game’s official Twitter page and saw at least 15 posts between each one asking if the game had been officially released. It clearly hasn’t, this is just a cool new update. With how big the sequel is compared to the original, it will probably take at least 2 to 3 years before the 1.0 comes along. According to the roadmap, the future updates will be huge, with things like more buggy mutations and customization

I also noticed a change comparing the new and previous roadmaps together. The old one had something about the tier 4 Omni-Tool unlocks and the new one apparently changed that. There’s no mention of it. Any speculation on what might have led to it being taken out?

What is everyone’s favorite armor set and weapon in G2?

I got into an argument with some idiot on Twitter a few days ago who said that the armor and weapons in the game were stupid and shitty. I actually really like several of the armor sets, and I also know that every armor and weapon in the game has to be somebody’s favorite.

I like such sets as the Rusty, Sizzling, and Butterfly mage armor, as well as the Wyrm Slayer full set. I play as Willow and she looks really good wearing the helmet. My favorite weapons include the Spicy Coaltana, Sour Katanga, Spider Stringer bow, all of the candy staves, and even the Wolfsbane Fangs. That last one is actually a personal favorite of mine because it’s overpowered going down the full upgraded spicy flavor path

I just thought of a cute idea for an armor piece that’s somewhat related to the aphid slippers

So, they could do another pair of bug slippers, but this time with weevils! The crafting materials would be the exact same amount as they are for the aphid slippers, but it would be one weevil meat and 3 gnat fuzz. The meat would be used to create the body, minus the little legs, and then you would use the fuzz for the bug’s black eyes, so the actual eyes would be replaced by little puffballs. I was playing around with ideas in my head, wondering what perks I could have, and decided that if you were to upgrade them all the way down the sleek path at a smithing station, you would get a perk known as Shroom Connoisseur. It would function like this: as long as you were wearing the slippers, eating raw mushrooms would give you a buff to health regeneration, making the mushrooms regenerate the same amount of health as any crafted chunky smoothie.

Any chunky or beefy smoothie heals 80 health, and I wanted a little snack like the mushroom to actually have a good health regeneration effect similar to that.

My buggy best friend

I just wanted to show a picture of my Orb Weaver Buggy. We go on adventures around the garden together, and he’s pretty dependable in a fight. I like to think that he has a very stern and yet fun loving personality. The second picture is of my plushie spider, and it’s where my buggy got his name from.

Does everyone else have a favorite buggy that they travel around with? What are their names?

Out of respect to the mod rule and people who might have arachnophobia, I have politely marked this as NSFW

Having now gone through the first game close to 100 times, I’ve been listening closely to the audio logs that Wendell leaves. There’s no evidence of his children, his daughter Sarah and his son Thor, ever having been kidnapped or shrunk by Ominent. In every single one of his logs, Wendell mentions them to be in perfect health and happy. I recently came across two posts that suggested that the new antagonist could be Sarah.

This makes no sense, because as I just said, there is no evidence of either her or Thor being kidnapped by the company. Wendell was working for them very willingly. In the haze lab, you can even find a goodbye letter to him from his wife Trudy that states that she took the kids over to her sister, their aunt, to get away from him because he was obsessed with his work.

Furthermore, I highly doubt that Willow and the other main characters would have known his children from school or anything like that. You can find a sort of love letter addressed to the teens from the Masked Stranger in G2 and a couple of lines speaking about how they mirror a darkness in each other as well as knowing about what’s wrong with the world. These two lines in the letter suggest to me that the Stranger is talking about Willow. It’s stated in Willow‘s biography that she stays on top of political issues and other such things. There is also a dialogue line during the first battle where the Stranger says to Willow if you play as her, “I wish you would have woken up beside me, Willow.“

Another very glaring inconsistency that immediately derails the theory is the fact that whoever this antagonist is, she literally is mind-controlling Wendell. She forced him to rip off BURG.L’s fucking head!! Why would Wendell’s daughter Sarah mind-control her own father into ripping off the poor robot’s head? Wendell spoke of his children loving BURG.L in the first game.

But perhaps the biggest problem with this theory is that, through interviews and leaked game files, Obsidian keeps referring to the fifth by the name of Violet.

So, I was watching a video from Paralyser, and I think he said to not pick up BURG.L’s head, or else the bee would stop appearing in the network center. I was trying to farm the gold card and I think I seriously fucked up. Back then, I was trying to finish that part of the main story. Please tell me that they spawn somewhere else!

u/Successful_Page_4524 — 2 months ago

So, I recently ran across a post where someone had said that the gold card drop chance was only registered upon the appearance of the bug, not when you actually looted the corpse. This is not true, it’s literally copied from the first game. Half of the gold cards I have in G2 were only gotten after I had actually LOOTED the enemy I had killed. I got Dozer’s gold card after exactly 22 harvests and Axl’s after 25. It took me 126 harvests for mosquitoes to obtain that one. For clarification I have posted the wiki page that corresponds to the gold cards from G2

Someone in the comments told me that the gold cards in G2 are dependent on when the creature appears. Once again, this is false. I repeat, for some of these gold card drops it has literally fucking taken me hundreds of harvests to get the damn thing. It is a flat 1% chance that only registers when you are actually fucking harvesting the creature’s remains. This same person also told me that I could save scum, which also isn’t true. I had that fact confirmed as false by another person in the comments. A very helpful shout out to u/InfusedRex

As you can see in the picture, buffing requires the glands from the OGRR creatures but there’s somehow a missing component as well. The barrel was easy enough to build, but I don’t know if anybody has actually been able to use it because of this missing ingredient. Has anybody actually been able to buff their buggy?
