[spoilers] Where is this pearl in Arti's run?

[ratherbe]

Specifically, it's Five Pebbles' pearl (the purple one which we will see him listening to as Rivulet or Saint). The Collection menu shows it can be read by Five Pebbles but I can't find it anywhere as Aritificer. Has anybody found it?

Rivulet grabbing it counts for Five Pebbles reading it. Wait until he finishes speaking.
Rivulet taking it to Moon counts for Moon reading it.
Saint taking it to Moon counts for Moon reading it in the Far Future (TM).

Now have fun going through co-op or dev tools to get the two Metropolis pearls out to Moon to be read.

Thank you!!! I was thinking about how to get moon to read these two pearls and never thought of co-op!

I seem to recall you can randomly begin there in Expedition also, but otherwise Metropolis is a Fun (TM) time to enter legitimately.

Just a heads up, coop doesn’t work for the metro pearls anymore. It worked previously but that was due to an unrelated coop bug. The only way to do it now is expedition mode, but I managed to get it done and I don’t think it was terrible. Metro as a spawn location does have a few conditions as well, it’s not available by default. I believe the main one is finishing artificer’s campaign, but it might also require artificer’s arena unlock, I’m not certain on that part. Once you’ve done that, gourmand, survivor, and monk expeditions all have a chance to start in metro. I just spam restarted as survivor until I got it, it took me maybe about 5-10 minutes to get one. Once you manage to get it, it’s pretty straightforward from there. It’s still dangerous there, but much less so than on artificer. Once you get both pearls and get out, it basically turns into a 2 neuron delivery run.
