Feature: Random Starting Location

thezerothcat edited this page Jul 2, 2021 · 5 revisions

The randomizer allows you to start in locations that are not the Surface. Currently supported starting locations include Gate of Guidance, Mausoleum of the Giants, Temple of the Sun, Spring in the Sky, Inferno Cavern, front or back Twin Labyrinths, Endless Corridor, Gate of Illusion, and Temple of Moonlight, and if transitions are randomized, Chamber of Extinction, Graveyard of the Giants, Tower of the Goddess, Chamber of Birth, and the Gate of Time Surface.

When you load the provided save file, you will find yourself at the grail tablet for your starting location. You will be able to use the Holy Grail to warp to this location, but all other warps, including the Surface, will have to be acquired in the usual manner.

The Surface grail tablet will not be required to empower the Holy Grail, and the grail tablet for your starting location should already be counted towards this requirement.

If your starting location is a backside field, the front and backside warp rings will be swapped, so you will require mirai to warp to frontside locations instead of to backside locations. Surface is considered a frontside location and can be reached via Bahamut or the backside door.

For those who use glitches, raindropping will send you back to the starting location by default, rather than to the Surface.

If you reach the Surface through the transition that normally allows you to enter the ruins, you will find that the entrance is not open and you cannot move left to get out of the wall. This does not count as access to the Surface, but if you jump, you should be warped back to the other side of the transition so you can continue exploring the ruins.
