Proof that I got every evolution in the game in one run
IT DIDNT INCLUDE THE IMAGES THIS TIME ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?? Alright someone please help me with this because this is getting ridiculous. I'll just put the images in the comments
So it didn't occur to me to screenshot everything the last time I did this and I could only post the build with its eyes closed. I also posted it wrong because for some reason the body wasn't included. So I got every evo again and while it isn't identical, it is pretty similar and shows all the unique parts of getting every evo. I'll type everything I was gonna say last time and hopefully the body paragraphs stay up this time.
It's not "everything" since some evos ban other evos. For example, I don't have jaws and a beak, just jaws since they ban each other. I also didn't use independent so I don't have every branching evolution. But I did get so many that there were none left to get when I levelled up. Like on the last 3 evolutions and fewer, it wouldn't let me reroll because there was nothing left to reroll for.
There was also some bugs from getting everything. One of them is shown in the image where if you have 2 evos left to complete and upgrade them, it shows one of them twice. Another bug was since I had every evo by the time the final boss fight started, levelling up in the boss fight didn't unlock any cataclysm resistance(not that I needed it). If I levelled up, the level counter would go up but no new moves would be unlocked even though new evolutions (extremophile and strength in numbers) are in the selection now.
So the main components of accomplishing this run were nomadic, whiskers, sprint, and speedy evos from boss fruit (legs, "more legs," and wings; or slithery, tentacles, and wings. I don't remember if I had wings with this one but if you want to replicate this then just use whichever of these show up first). Nomadic is the most important evo. It gives in instant level up no matter how high lvl you are if you go to a POI. The higher rarity on this, the better. Whiskers(the specialization of snout) boosts your speed like crazy when adding senses, which is further multiplied by sprint. Because you need nomadic and whiskers to pull this off, I prioritized gregarious and prey affinity, but also grabbed sprint as soon as it showed up. Maximize night time duration so that whiskers' speed boost stays around more often. This is done by getting nocturnal and wishing for winter whenever you come across that POI.
I also used carcinization both times for more food progress as seen from exoskeleton and stuff, but in the later part of the game I wasn't even prioritizing eating food since POIs upgraded me more so I'm not sure that's a requirement to get this high. Still, extra progress is very important to get all the important evos (nomadic + speed) as soon as possible.
This second time wasn't as glorious as the first time, though. This one was level 270, but the last run was in the 300s (I think it was 323 or somewhere around that). I actually visited more POIs than the first time, but my Nomadic was at a higher rarity so it did more on the first run which is why I'm lower level this run.
The first run I did I was trying to unlock vegan by dealing no dmg so I figured I'd just get prey and gregarious affinity and lvl up as much as possible in pressure 1 so I wouldn't need damage. But then since I unlocked everything possible I had to unlock spines and poison spores and that dealt some damage😭
Since I was going for vegan I had pacifist and minimalist in the first run, but in this run I had pacifist and pioneer.
Alright, I think that's everything I wanted to say, any questions?
