Peaceful mode

[abb]

I wonder if it is possible to follow story development in that fashion. And if you can attack the peaceful animals so that you can get the necessary parts to expand your crafting abilities...backpack and dynamite and such?

You can but for what ever reason many Last Chapter enemies and bosses are hostile even in peaceful mode. You can kill the non hostile enemies in peaceful mode but some do fight back if attacked. Screecher is hard to kill in peaceful mode as it's out of arrow range most of the time but it does not drop any important resources so it's not big issue unless you're trying to get the achievements for killing screechers.

Thanks, I dont think I will get that far. But some of the blueprint you get in the story mode is very useful for your raft...I just hope the rats isnt too bad to defeat.

I just completed the full story on peaceful mode and it is possible (but occasionally annoying) to get all the resources you need. Most of the enemies will only attack if you attack them first: some will keep attacking after that, others will go back to ignoring you whether or not they hit you with the counterattack, and a couple will ignore you even while you're hitting them.

Annoying parts are: Bruce completely ignores shark bait on peaceful mode. If you want shark meat you have to chase him down the hard way. (but he doesn't defend himself, so that's good?). Also the Screechers being annoying to target is an understatement, I have gone through so many arrows for so little reward.

The new boss is meant to be unskippable anyway but my experience was that it couldn't actually damage me - I was in more danger of drowning - and there is an enemy on Temperance that will attack you whether or not you're on peaceful, but otherwise there's no reason you can't complete the story or get what you need for crafting.

Thanks..I discovered for myself how difficult it is, but not impossible with the wild boars and the pufferfish. It requires quite a lot of arrows, but you get most of them back. The advantage is definitely that you can experience the reefs in peace and quiet without that shark and many of them are really beautiful!
And Bruce....he just swims around with a stupid grin on his face all the time!!
You say the new boss Isn't that the ungly big radioactive hyena???

[Cats_In_Love]

Yeah, the new boss is that ugly big radioactive glowing translucent green hyena like thing. And he's a mean one. I died a few times before I somehow managed to get him.

I have only played in peaceful mode and found the general, chop wood/carry water/level up game played unremarkably okay. I would have never known that the bird is competitively more difficult. I just figured he was for only the most skilled bowmen and haven't bothered.

It is curious, the choices that were made for the story in peaceful mode. Why they felt it was somehow necessary that the battling enemies is somehow integral to the story, I don't see. First off, the puzzles are great. I was pressed for solution, admittedly accepting help, at the horizontal cloth windmill platform sweepers and disappointed that I didn't trust the puzzle creator enough to look for an alternative solution to the obvious. Oh, and the 2nd laser puzzle.. Yep, it's a tough one. I think the story and puzzle are the best feature of the game. Let's face it, or we have and the devs should, the battles, the battle mechanism, whatever that is.... it's something to do, I'll give it that.

So, why they felt that that it would be a bust if RhinoShark, Nuclear Beetles and Green Glowing Hyena were just not there, I'm not getting. Keep the puzzles, lose the violence. The player gets to just walk through, or swim as the case may be, through the last stage and claim the big prize. How much worse is that than the normal grind? How much better? Well, it's better. Then, in peaceful, you don't get the full story, but then, really who would know? And if it's someone that played non-peaceful first, would they care? So, you walk in. Scotty the raving Scottman raves at you, "Get out of here! Wah wah wah!" So you shrug your shoulders and ignore him, , do the crate stacking puzzle, and off you go, the Scottsman whining away as you show him your back and the door closes behind you. Sounds great.

Then you play full game mode, enemies and all, and you get the bonus of big bad guys.

Why, exactly, is RhinoShark, Nuclear Beetles and Green Glowing Hyena some sort of necessary feature that would completely ruin peaceful mode if they weren't included? Heck, I have that RhinoShark carcass stuck in a box under my hammock. It's got no functional purpose and takes up a huge amount of space on hanging on the deck.

You bet, I cheated through the big battles. I chose peaceful mode, not moderately peaceful mode, except the really big bad guys. Kinda like picking god mode, well, mostly god mode but you still gotta collect food and water.

Sorry, devs, but the more I consider it, the more I conclude that it really was the wrong choice.

I enjoy the battles more than the "puzzles" ... or better called maze madness x_x ... beginning with Balboa Island over Caravan Town, Varuna Point etc. you get the impression that the developer(s) love to create labyrinth confusion :-|

Watching some let's plays of raft I recognized that the seagulls are a pain in the a§§ ^^ that's why I play it in peacefull mode plus "peacefull animals" mod. Is there a mod with which the seagulls get roasted to chicken wings automatically whenever they touch my flowers / plants? ^^ I would love to install that mod :D

Ideally, a mod that allows the player to turn on and off elements and animals.

I'm also playing this on Peaceful and had no luck with the Screecher.
Ended up with me cheating and using a trainer.
Unlimited crafting of arrows and one-hit-kill. Took me a very long time and a LOT of arrows to finally get him.
The Screecher needs to be reworked in Peaceful mode.

Someone said that they are much easier in battle mode and near impossible in peaceful mode.

I just love this peaceful mode, so thaks for that Dev's!!! Who needs meet, when there is so much fruit, vegetables and goatsmilk and eegs! Yes im almost becom an vegetarian! haha.

I just whish there were some reward, as I suggested in the idear thread, in the form of an empty Island, when finishing the taskes and history,where you could build to your hearts content. Houses and a port forinstans. And that Island should always apear on your radar no matter which koordinates you are sailing whit, in its own color!

That would prolong the gaming time infinite!!

[llanita]

I just finished another game in Peaceful. I got everything I needed.
