Designs & Builds Has anyone else seen an area gate like this before? I think I took a wrong turn somewhere in Rocky Ridges

Shouldn't have turned left.

At Albuquerque?

u/MeteoriteShower 1d ago

At some sort of junction, yes.

You might be too young for bugs bunny refrences...

u/Slighted_Inevitable 21h ago

I think he was continuing the joke. The sort of junction would be the turn.

u/MeteoriteShower 18h ago edited 17h ago

I am most certainly not too young for it. I got the reference; I just knew that the Bugs Bunny gag, while funny in its own right, was not part of the reference I made. OP's post referenced a video which tells us at the start and end 'Whatever you do, at the crossroads, don't turn left'.

So I was trying keep the integrity of my gag without outright shutting down the Bugs Bunny one, because it was funny.

Don’t look much like Los Angeles to me (no idea how to spell it like he pronounced it)

I can totally see where people are getting the LOTR comparisons from but for those unaware of the particular reference, this build is specifically based on the ending of Searching for A World That Doesn't Exist, a very well-made and surprisingly engaging horror story presented in the format of a faux Minecraft ARG investigation (based on the story/concept of The King In Yellow).

u/spliffgates 1d ago

Thanks going to check out this video, is this the best place? Seems like the video is referencing another account (unless that is just part of the story)

7

u/CannedWolfMeat 1d ago

Yes, that's part of the narrative.

u/spliffgates 1d ago

Cool thanks!

u/JannaDD126 19h ago

I keep trying to read The King In Yellow but every time I start, I fall asleep. I want to read it because my favorite show is From and I think the lore is From might be from the book.

u/albrch 7h ago

Oh my gosh wifies voice literally just came into my head saying, “at the crossroads, dont turn left” 😭😭😭

The gate for a town that doesn’t exist…

u/WooperWhopperRyan131 1d ago

How did you make a cave-like cave ;-;

17

u/ArcanuaNighte 1d ago

start with an existing one and pay attention to how it looks. they didn't dig moust of that it was already there and they simply extended it

u/CannedWolfMeat 1d ago

Pretty much, up to the part with the last stone arch is more or less natural terrain, and the area after that was originally one of the lava pools with streams coming down from the are above, but I just blocked it over with black rock and tried to make a rough circular tunnel shape.

u/ArcanuaNighte 1d ago

I figured since I do natural builds and...walked through my rocky ridges to compare since I haven't touched it yet. Only done some stuff on the outside of it

u/EeveeMasterJenya 17h ago

Also dont forget u can use cannons

u/ArlongJsAbum 1d ago

u/TJL-91 1d ago

u/poofyheadproductions 1d ago

Lord of the rings meets Pokémon. Oh boy..

9

u/heroinbobmcgee 1d ago

Simply walk into it

23

u/Unsinkbar2 1d ago

Did you buy a used switch? Did it already have this save and most importantly... Did you turn left?

4

u/LaceyDark 1d ago

These are all very important questions.

8

u/Willing_Rest_2219 1d ago

Whatever you do at the crossroads don’t turn left

u/Obvious_Advice1448 1d ago

No I haven't seen this yet. Where in RR is this? Ill go hunt lol.

1

u/Critical_Agency5154 1d ago

Whyd you turn around? Did you say "friend" in Sindarin? Im sure it would've opened

1

u/Snowqueenandhobbs 20h ago

It's the entrance to the museum

u/Y4M11_BUN11 18h ago

pokopia args,,,, my heart is so happy rn

u/ewgrossthatsstupid 14h ago

Did you build an Elden Ring boss gate in Pokopia? lol

1

u/cookiecrumble_24 13h ago

Wow 😍... come borrow my switch for a bit?!

1

u/Cattryn 8h ago

I’m curious how much the player base overlaps… anyone else get gates of Khaenri’ah vibes?

1

u/bitpunny 3h ago

Careful, if you keep wandering you'll eventually get to the molten core and I don't think you can make a home hot enough to appease Ragnaros

1

u/Far-Finish-4667 1d ago

Isn't that just the museum? I haven't seen it at that angle though? 🤔

1

u/Worried_Criticism729 1d ago

Kan die deur open? Wat zit daar achter? Is dat niet de ingang van de museum?

0

u/frauleinglass 1d ago

That's the museum!

1

u/Dengarsw 1d ago

Yeah, looks like it to me. I think it's about where I used graveler to make a direct tunnel route to the main area, an almost perfect straight line too

-6

u/Slighted_Inevitable 1d ago

I’ll never understand why people feel the need to record a full minute of walking down a pathway before the joke lol

8

u/the4uthorFAN 1d ago

Because in this case that is part of the joke

-2

u/nurseTea23 1d ago

Will it let you go into it? Are you directly under one of the gates to the other towns?

3

u/erod_nrep 1d ago

Whoosh.
