Scavengers Ladder Cycles

On the eighth day of Scavmas, the Scav hunt gave to me:
Futures for peeking


Hosted the Day 8 Scavmas fish on December 27th @ 2:30 PM EST. The added twist was Future Sight. Many thanks to turtalkatthing and aQrator for QCing!

The mix of Future Sight with the previous twists broke the hunt :zonger:
Because of this, Spam Filter finish times, least common answers, and mines hit are lost. Thanks to a bizarre quirk though, we do have Bonus Round answerers - their names are in bold. In order of a twist-less fish, we have:

1st place: Bert122
2nd place: YetAnotherDodo
3rd place: thepokemonuploads
4th place: pv2094
5th place: sergiorules
Consolation prize: Richard Papen, The Benz Mafia, Chilly Receptnon

No one got their Future Sight prediction...
I hope you enjoyed solving nevertheless. Mines are documented for posterity, just because :woop:
If you remember, I'd love to hear which mines you hit, and figure out which answers were the Pointless winners!
1) Name a map location that shares its background music with (but is not) a location where a Level 100 Magikarp can be fished with a Rod. Abundant Shrine; Lostlorn Forest; Route 213; Sinnoh Route 213; Valor Lakefront
Mines:
Fellhorn Gorge
Resort Area
Nature Preserve


2) If I chose Oshawott as my starter in White 2, and battled every Trainer possible, I would be unable to access the Nature Preserve under any circumstances without trading for certain Pokemon. Name one. Buneary; Tepig; Vullaby
Mines:
Tornadus
Zekrom
Shuppet


3) With access to Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, a Pokewalker, and every event distribution, name a Pokemon that would be an obstacle to obtaining a National Pokedex diploma in Gen 4. Glameow; Purugly; Skuntank; Stunky
Mines:
Registeel

On the ninth day of Scavmas, the Scav hunt gave to me:
Wikis for racing
(Wikirace)

Hosted the day 9 official on Sunday, 28th December at 4 PM EST (9 PM GMT).

Thanks to Devoxys and pokemonvortex for QCing the hunt!

Due to issues encountered during the previous hunt, this hunt was run without incognito.
However, the twist combinations broke the hunt again (future sight was not the culprit-- try again), so bonus round, minesweeper, and pointless were not recorded. Mines are recorded with the hunt below.

No one got perfect score or their future sight predictions right.
YetAnotherDodo and sleet dab xd found the shortest wikirace routes.

Finishers:
sleet dab xd has finished the hunt! (Final Time: 16:00)
Bert122 has finished the hunt! (Final Time: 56:11)
YetAnotherDodo has finished the hunt! (Final Time: 01:10:44)
Oricorioiscold has finished the hunt! (Final Time: 01:11:52)
Chilly Receptnon has finished the hunt! (Final Time: 06:06:14)
WarriorGallade has finished the hunt! (Final Time: 17:26:31)

On the tenth day of Scavmas, the Scav hunt gave to me:
Close finish gaining,


That's the close call twist added for today. However, it seems for now not all twists play nice, for example minesweeper obscured who cleared the bonus round question.

Day 10 Scavmas, coming to you on Monday, December 29, at 15:30 GMT! Thanks to aQrator and turtalkatthing for QCing!

Hunt:
The official scavenger hunt by WarriorGallade was ended automatically.
1st place: Teutonic✠Squire [01:45:10].
2nd place: Chilly Receptnon [02:03:19].
3rd place: Kaibenhavn [02:16:58].
4th place: Bert122 [02:20:11].
5th place: Oricorioiscold [02:23:18].
Consolation Prize: YetAnotherDodo [03:07:23], Richard Papen [03:23:56], yeet dab xd [05:16:26], blepsatyou [09:55:29]


Solution:
1) This uses Theme Team - PM WarriorGallade in 5 minutes from finishing to guess the theme for 5 points. While catching up for Christmas, my brother reminisced about a minigame that needed berries to play, somewhere in the mainline games. He was certain it involved pressing the A button, and no other buttons were involved. He mentioned that he played with 3 other people, using a total of 1 Wepear, 1 Belue, 1 Pecha, and 1 Pinap Berry. At the end of this he got some reward - didn't quite remember what it was exactly, but is sure that it was at least a hundred of something. Answer with the item my brother got, and then the most quantity that he could be awarded for this session, in that order. [berrypowder 1640 / START THE WIKIRACE AT https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Berry_Powder]
Mines: berrypowder 2050: RL
berrypowder 164000: Kaibenhavn / Kaibenhavn / RL / RL
berrypowder 164000: -

2) Now, same situation as the last question; but remove the last two sentences. Upon completing the minigame, all players were rewarded exactly 4 of the same item. What item(s) my brother could have gotten? (ignore levels) [goldpokeblock olivepokeblock / berrypowder goldpokeblock olivepokeblock]
Mines: goldpokeblock: RL
gold olive: -

3) The holiday season may be one for giving, but this question can only be solved by taking. Move to take out what seems too common, and the latent answer shall be revealed. https://ibb.co/album/LrH1Zw?sort=name_asc [bitter malice / END THE WIKIRACE AT https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bitter_Malice_(move)]
Mines: bitterblade: -
bittermulice: Bert122 / Richard Papen
zoroarkhisui: -

4) BONUS ROUND: In Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs, a certain berry requires usage of a field move to obtain, and is not obtainable if the player visits its location at the earliest possible point in time, even if they have access to the field move. What is the name of this berry? (You may choose to skip this question using /scavenge skip.) [friend-mend berry]
Mines: red berry: Bert122 / YetAnotherDodo / Kaibenhavn / Teutonic✠Squire / Chilly Receptnon / Oricorioiscold / yeet dab xd
precious red berry: Richard Papen / blepsatyou / Oricorioiscold
friend berry: -

It also used theme team, and the theme for this fish was berries - which was correctly guessed by Bert122 and YetAnotherDodo.

Wikirace:
The shortest route was 3 links long! Congrats to the following users who tied.


teutonicsquire: berry powder -> herbal medicine -> legends arceus -> zoroark -> bitter malice
yetanotherdodo: Berry powder -> herbal medicine -> Pokemon: Legends Arceus -> Zoroark -> Bitter Malice
yeetdabxd: Berry Powder -> Herbal medicine -> Pokemon: Legends Arceus -> Zoroark (Pokemon) -> Bitter Malice
kaibenhavn: Berry Powder -> Pokemon Emerald -> Pokemon Black 2 -> Zoroark -> Bitter Malice
bert122: Berry Powder --> Vitamin --> Sinnoh --> Lake Acuity --> Bitter Malice

On the eleventh day of Scavmas, the Scav hunt gave to me:
Two hunts you're facing,

I am hosting day 11 of Scavmas on Tuesday, December 30th at 15:30 GMT. Thanks to turtalkatthing and Bert122 for QCing this hunt.

(hunt 1) The official scavenger hunt by Qtierater was ended automatically.
1st place: RL [44:19].
2nd place: Teutonic✠Squire [47:39].
3rd place: Richard Papen [48:14].
4th place: YetAnotherDodo [53:52].
5th place: The North Ples [01:17:37].
Consolation Prize: sleet dab xd [01:57:45]

(Hunt 2) The official scavenger hunt by Qtierater was ended automatically.
1st place: Teutonic✠Squire [30:37].
2nd place: Oricorioiscold [45:12].
3rd place: YetAnotherDodo [01:20:41].
4th place: The North Ples [01:25:34].
5th place: sleet dab xd [02:00:57].
Consolation Prize: Kaibenhavn [02:43:21]


Solution:
1) You just got back to Pelican Town after trying to make your farm a bit more workable. It was a mess when you first arrived, with green and blue grass growing everywhere. A cutscene started, and you walk up to the old community center. According to Lewis, it is infested with rats. You decide to take a peek inside, and you find a golden scroll in the bottom left of the building. There's a weird language on there. The next day, you get a letter from this person. [Wizard / M. Rasmodius / Wikirace on the stardewvalleywiki! Start at the page "Farm Maps".]
2) After ingesting a potion made by Rasmodius, you are able to read the scroll. They seem to require an offering, with 6 different bundles. The first one seems easy! You already found three of the required items near the old bus stop, but the fourth you have never seen, though you remember hearing something about it on TV last Thursday. Name an item found in this bundle. [Daffodil / Leek / Dandelion / Spring Onion]
3) You grab a spring onion from the Cindersap Forest and complete the bundle. You got some seeds to work with now! On top of that, two new scrolls have appeared. You take a look at one of them, and it seem you can already add an item to one bundle thanks to your anonymous benefactor and grandfather's inheritance. List one of the other items that you need to put in that bundle to complete it (other than the one you can already put in). [Large Milk / Large Goat Milk / Wool / Duck Egg]
4) Over the next few weeks, you work on completing more and more bundles. Your farming skill is quickly levelling up, and so is your foraging. Your crops net you some great money, and the strawberries you purchased during the Egg Festival help a lot to expedite the process. Your beehouse is creating honey, one of which you put away for a bundle once your know how to make mead with it. As summer hits, you also manage to get some summer seeds from the community center. One day, Demetrius comes up to your door, and tells you about a nearby cave that he wants to use for his fruit bat research. With your approval, the bats are set free in the cave, and but a few days later, you find this item lying at the bottom of the cave. Perfect, you needed that for a bundle! [Salmonberry / Apple / Wild Plum / Pomegranate / Blackberry]
5) A full year passed, and next fall, you finally managed to complete the Community Center alongside your husband. Everyone gathers at the center and rejoices. Everyone, except for Morris, who wonders where all his customers have gone. Even with the 75% off sale he promises, the townfolk boycott Jojamart until it is fully out of business. The next day, your husband congratulates you on your trophy, and has a gift for you. He wanted to treat you for his birthday, and gave you this item for dinner. [Baked Fish / Fried Calamari / Chowder / Fish Stew / Finish your wikirace at the page for the Stardew Hero Trophy]
6) One day, you heard rumors of the old Jojamart's door being reopened. No one dared enter until you decided to take a look inside. Another scroll was on the ground, promising a new building in town for people to enjoy. You were already fermenting some Cherry wine, so you opted to take one out and put it in the bundle. List another item you can use to complete the bundle. (You may choose to skip this question using /scavenge skip.) [Dinosaur Mayonnaise / Prismatic Shard / Ancient Fruit / Void Salmon / Caviar]
Solution:
1) You just got back to Pelican Town after trying to make your farm a bit more workable. It was a mess when you first arrived, and the multiple islands carved out by the river don't make farming any easier. A cutscene started, and you walk up to the old community center. According to Lewis, it is infested with rats. You decide to take a peek inside, and you find a golden scroll in the bottom left of the building. There's a weird language on there. The next day, you get a letter from this person. [Wizard / M. Rasmodius / Wikirace on the stardewvalleywiki! Start at the page "Farm Maps".]
2) After ingesting a potion made by Rasmodius, you are able to read the scroll. They seem to require an offering, with 6 different bundles. One looks quite doable, as you've been hard at work cutting down trees to make room for your crops. If only those weeds and boulders were as useful as your trees were... Name an item found in this bundle. [Moss / Acorn / Maple Seed / Sap]
3) You continue cutting down trees in the Cindersap Forest and complete the bundle a few days later. You can make some coal now! On top of that, two new scrolls have appeared. You take a look at one of them, and it seem you can already add an item to one bundle thanks to the teeming wildlife you caught on grandfather's farm. List one of the rewards you can get by putting the caught items in the bundles to complete them. [Deluxe Bait / Glow Ring / Dish O' The Sea]
4) Over the next few weeks, you work on completing more and more bundles. Your fishing skill is quickly levelling up, and the rest of your skills are slowly growing as well. Your fish net you some great money, and the fish smoker you got from grandpa helps a lot to expedite the process. As summer hits, Demetrius comes up to your door, and tells you about a nearby cave that he wants to use for his mushroom research. With your approval, he places some boxes in the cave, and but a few days later, you find this item in one of the boxes. Perfect, you needed that to make your trips down the mine a lot safer, restoring your health fully! [Red Mushroom / Purple Mushroom / Chanterelle / Morel]
5) A full year passed, and next summer, you finally managed to complete the Community Center alongside your wife. Everyone gathers at the center and rejoices. Everyone, except for Morris, who wonders where all his customers have gone. He taunts Pierre with a 75% off sale, who calls him and all Joja Mart employees a coward. Angered, Morris starts fighting Pierre. Insult fly back and forth, until Morris is thrown out of the building by Pierre's retalitory assault. Ashamed, he runs away, causing Jojamart to go fully out of business. The next day, your wife congratulates you on your trophy, and has a gift for you. She wanted to treat you for her birthday, and gave you this item for dessert. [Rice Pudding / Blueberry Tart / Cookies / Chocolate Cake / Finish your wikirace at the page for the Stardew Hero Trophy]
6) One day, you heard rumors of the old Jojamart's door being reopened. No one dared enter until you decided to take a look inside. Another scroll was on the ground, promising a new building in town for people to enjoy. You were already fermenting some Cherry wine, so you opted to take one out and put it in the bundle. List another item you can use to complete the bundle. (You may choose to skip this question using /scavenge skip.) [Dinosaur Mayonnaise / Prismatic Shard / Ancient Fruit / Void Salmon / Caviar]
To ensure the hunt didn't crash, minesweeper was not active and neither was the incognito part of Future Sight. All other twists were active though, and The North Ples and TeutonicSquire managed to Double Down on their finish at least once. TeutonicSquire, YetAnotherDodo, The North Ples and sleet dab xd also finished both hunts
The Wikirace was completed the fastest by The North Ples, YetAnotherDodo and Richard Papen, doing so with just 1 intermediate step. The stardewvalleywiki is quite interwoven, so I'm not surprised someone beat my expected 2 step solution.
No one predicted their position correctly, sadly, so no Future Sight points are added.
Hunt 1
Q1: M. Rasmodius - Teutonic✠Squire, TheStarmanLord
Q2: Dandelion - TheStarmanLord
Q3: Large Milk - thepokemonuploads
Q4: Apple - thepokemonuploads, WarriorGallade
Q5: Fish Stew - sleet dab xd
Q6: Prismatic Shard, Void Salmon, Ancient Fruit - Richard Papen, The North Ples, sleet dab xd

Hunt 2
Q1: M. Rasmodius - YetAnotherDodo, sleet dab xd
Q2: Acorn, Maple Seed - Teutonic✠Squire, Oricorioiscold
Q3: Deluxe Bait - Teutonic✠Squire, Oricorioiscold, YetAnotherDodo, The North Ples, Kaibenhavn, sleet dab xd
Q4: Morel - Teutonic✠Squire, Kaibenhavn
Q5: Blueberry Tart - The North Ples
Q6: Void Salmon, Caviar, Prismatic Shard - Teutonic✠Squire, sleet dab xd, Kaibenhavn
For every question, if you got pointless results on either hunt, you get 3 points.
Bonus round finishes were lost to time, but based on the Pointless results, I do know that TeutonicSquire, Richard Papen, The North Ples, sleet dab xd and kaibenhavn completed it, and bonus points have been awarded accordingly.
Phew, that was a lot. Hope you all enjoyed!

Congrats to our newest voice Rika.
March's twist will be idfk.
 
A fish swims your way on March 13, 15:00 GMT. Thanks to DrThop and pokemonvortex for QCing!

Results:
The official scavenger hunt by WarriorGallade was ended automatically.
1st place: Nonexistent_0 [58:26].
2nd place: bubidajeffery [01:19:13].
3rd place: psoe=mafia [02:32:06].
4th place: RICHARDPAPEN [05:35:37].
5th place: Bert122 [07:43:52].

Hunt:
1) These locations accessible in some Unova games will not be visible on the Town Map until the player visits them for the first time. (alpha) [abyssalruins nscastle unitytower]
2) A certain location that's only accessible at certain times of the day charges the player $1000 for entry, and there's no way to gain free (or discounted) entry. These Pokemon are tied for having the highest level of all battleable Pokemon in that location. (alpha) [tauros wailord]
3) Let's say I had a copy of White, and one of Black 2, and assume I can freely reset and trade between both games, but have no further outside connectivity. Despite that, I wouldn't be able to claim the Oval Charm, because I would be missing some Pokemon, no matter what I did in-game. Ignoring the unevolved/not fully evolved Pokemon, answer with all the Pokemon that I would be missing. (alpha) [camerupt delcatty landorus reshiram tornadus]

Our twist for this month is Spam Filter: Every incorrect unique guess adds 30 seconds to your timer!
 
Today was a normal day, and as such a totally normal odyssey was hosted for it; April 1, 2026 at 04:00 GMT. If you had to give it a title, maybe "group photo odyssey" would be accurate. Thanks to TurtalKatThing and DrThop for the QCs at short notice!

One of the most famous (set of) glitches in RBY leads to obtaining a Lv. 100 Nidoking or Gengar before Brock (not that the last part matters for this question). The final step requires you to initiate a battle using the aforementioned Pokémon, but if you (successfully) use a specific (non-glitch) move, the battle will never finish. Name all fully evolved Pokémon that can lead to this game state in alphabetical order and the move it needs to use in that order (without using any glitches to get illegal moves such as the Q glitch).|Alakazam Gengar Mew Poliwrath Psywave
The minimum number of days to collect all the treasures in Pikmin 2 is 5. However, this is (currently) only possible on the GameCube release as later releases changed the mechanics of throwing Pikmin, thus making it impossible to leave the Dwarf Bulborb alive to set up a specific glitch. It is still possible to trigger the aforementioned glitch on later releases with a different setup (but with no notable benefit). This is the first (English) message of the dialog used for that setup.|Louie! Has Olimar instructed you on the peculiarities of the Pikmin creatures?
This Pokémon, which has mostly been seen for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, does not necessarily aim to show the theoretically fastest way a game can be beaten, but moreso showcases an interesting idea or way the game can be played without spending too much time on maximizing efficency.|LOTAD;Low-Optimized Tool-Assisted Demonstration
