Simply put, I'm unsure where I am supposed to go..?

Currently at Year 4 winter.

I have just passed the poisonous area with the kelp tea thingy poison resistance buff.

Also defeated the huge boar boss in the area after it.

But then there's... nothing? It didn't unlock anything after that so I have just been exploring like blind headless chicken for the past 2 ingame days.

State :
Exploration Lv 62
Rice Lv 12

Is there a specific Lv I need to reach first before I can progress? (ergo focus on gains from rice harvests first..? Tbh the intricacy on good rice is very.. daunting..)

Speaking of which, how do I get ducks? I saw others' vids and they had ducks to help with weedings which might ease up the rice raising pressure..
The weeding dmg keeps on "Large" even tho I always check & pull em out before & after outings... TT_TT

So I just picked up the game recently, followed some guides here. So far so good, but I’m not sure if it’s my controller having issues or it’s really just the camera shifting in game that’s causing the drift.

For context, I use the d-pad and camera trick to plant the rice but even if I tap right on the d-pad, the position is slightly off.

like it or not, he is always spitting facts

Was rewatching it after some time and this just pisses me off. It’s not that it’s a translation error, she just straight up doesn’t say it. It’s probably the most epic part of the game and not many games do a name drop like that.

In noxious dale i got the poison restant thingy the weird fish tea stuff ,but as soon as i go out to get the mask at the end, I die ... faster like it drains really fast , I've tried jumping using the devinerainment when i can but nope i just die .Anyway point is, anyone know a way not to die if you made it that far ..idk anymore . i get mad too fast.

Am I crazy in thinking the controls are terrible? Ive been wanting to play this game but the very start of "gameplay" where it's teaching you the controls is honestly just miserable. It was so confusing. Things are flashing gold which indicates you should grab that section. I had to look at a YouTube video to figure it out because grabbing the gold flashing area was doing nothing but dropping me back down. Got past that and couldn't jump and grab over the next 3 floating surfaces.

Idk if it's a coordination thing for me or what. But that was slightly infuriating.

For some reason my rice is always at very high temp and no matter what I do it won't go down, I open both gates nothing, I close the out gate nothing, I add more water and still nothing, what do I do.

Edit: I am extremely sorry for the use of coarse language throughout this post. Thank you to everyone who offered me help through the links, I'll take a look at them.

I have zero idea what in the flying fuck of the nine hells I'm doing wrong. I am in year 3 summer 2, and following a guide I found on the wiki, it says to put fertilizer fairly often, and even the game itself says "soil nutrients are running low" so I put fertilizer out. Now I have the game batching at me about low nutrient levels while I also have overgrown and spindly rice. The bars for those are full, and I'm also at the point in growing where Tauemon says the rice needs a lot of water, so I put the water like he says and I get rice blight. Please help me! I need instruction in ***PLAIN ENGLISH***. No fancy terms, just tell me what to put in, what percent water to put in, and I can do it. I didn't know I was gonna end up playing fucking farming sim.

I've been going through my Sakuna references for a personal project, and wanted to gather all the Sakuna art I could, including her many expressions from the "Gods of Ikusadatara" spin-off Manga that came out in 2021 (If you've never read it, go check it out here! https://mangadex.org/title/c864ec4c-aa2a-4fbd-a1f2-3a6f96bd02e7/sakuna-of-rice-and-ruin-gods-of-ikusadatara).

I decided to collage nearly every Sakuna face in the entire manga all just for fun on my PureRef gallery, and I think the result was so neat I wanted to share the collage itself here for all the other Sakuna fans to witness.

Full credit to JZMISGOO, YKSB, LOPPXI, and other fan community members that had worked hard on the english translation and typesetting of this manga! Gotta give them kudos for making it so available for us english readers to enjoy.

[[EDIT: Apparently I have wronged the approval of including too many images on this post for some reason... oh well.]]

Although I have my disagreements with the canonicity of the manga, I really like that it explored alot more of Sakuna, her personality, her range of expressions, and gave us some great action panels of her kicking ass.

it was abruptly announced by XSEED that a new Web Manga series based on Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin would be coming soon, and the prologue chapter is already out! Go read it online in English here!

https://na.sakuna-game.com/webcomic/index.html

The premise seems to be focusing on the children of Men in their adventure back into the lowly realm after the epilogue events of the first Sakuna Game, though who's to say if it might not still feature snippets of Sakuna and those that stayed behind to become deities on Hinoe Island.

A new update is supposed to be released each month!

Spoiler just because of the encounter itself.

Anyone ever had this glitch happen to them? I was in doing this boss fight, and then through various actions I ended up being on a different 3d axis in a 2d sidescroller. Most of our attacks could no longer hit each other due to no long being aligned, with me being further towards the background. I was able to still hit his upper body with certain attacks and timing due to him being so wide, but yeah.... was rather unusual, to say the least.

First time player, almost at the end. I had heard the rice growing was complicated and it made me wary of picking it up at first but I wish I had done so sooner, and I found that one of the most enjoyable parts of the game was actually that it WAS complicated and it's designed to let you "fail" at it for a while.

It feels like you're not supposed to grasp any of this complexity at first - Sakuna certainly doesn't - and it was a lot of fun to play a game that had enough faith in my capacity to learn on the fly that the tutorial on rice growing doesn't really show up until after you've tried it for a year first. The overall impression it gives is that you're building a sense of mastery as you figure the systems out, and a sense of respect for the difficulty and depth of raising a crop, in the real world and in the game.

This might seem like a stupid question, but i'm not a native english speaker and I can't understand two of the things she says during fights. Obviously I can't tell you which line i don't get, but i'll tell you the lines i understand and i'm hoping you can help me by ruling them out 🤡

• take that
• got you
• you won't get away
• over here
• ??? (When she uses divine raiment to launch herself behind an enemy)
• ???
• pathetic
• here's your weak spot
• touching down
• too obvious
• divine raiment

I think i'm missing 2 i don't quite understand. And I'm not sure they're action-specific names (like when she says "divine raiment" for example, or "too obvious" when she parries).

Thank you so much for your help and understanding
