How to INV. A guide to the secret 9th slugcat. ( SPOILERS )

A guide on how to get and beat the hard, near impossible secret 9th slugcat's campaign.

Unlocking the new slugcat.

To unlock this slugcat, you must have the Downpour DLC. then type sofanthiel while on the menu screen. after typing, the screen will turn black and you will enter into a more forgotten and scary looking version of the game and the only selectable slugcat will be one called ???, also refered to and Inv And Enot by the community. To get your other campaigns back, just reload the game.

Food

12 food pips are required to hibernate, and none can be stored for the next cycle. Here is a recreation of ???'s food pips.

General changes with ???'s campaign.

- ??? has the attributes of Survivor.

- ??? has the throwing skill and Spear damage of Monk.

- ??? spawns with a Singularity Bomb reskinned after AndrewFM's profile picture, the "eggzero", every cycle.

- This does not replace any existing Singularity Bombs, meaning that if one is not used when the player hibernates, they have two the following cycle.

- Some sound effects are changed, notably sounds where ??? is hurt, being replaced with loud, human-like grunts. The "game over" sound effect is replaced with AndrewFM saying either "game over, gamer", "good night, gamer", or "rest in peace, gamer".

- An Applebread voice clip plays after waiting on the main menu for a short period.

Much of the non in-game music is altered. Specifically, this occurs on the main menu, all tracks played in Arena mode, and the Dating Sim. The music in these sections is dynamically slowed down.

-All Slugpups that spawn are reskinned with the level editor Big Head displayed on their faces. -These Slugpups behave as normal except on death, where they generate an explosion similar to that of a Singularity Bomb.

-An additional Singularity Bomb is spawned after the effect finishes.

- Slugpups spawn even if they have not been unlocked on the save file.

-??? can eat from slain creatures for half their normal food pips, like the Gourmand.

- ??? can maul enemies by holding grab/eat while holding them, like the Artificer.

- However, ??? does not have a method to reliably stun creatures in order to maul them, so the ability is fairly niche.

World changes with ???'s campaign

- Shelter failures occur 100% of the time, even on cycle 0.
This gives a tremendously long time between cycles that can be taken advantage of.

- Most regions accessible to any Slugcat has had major changes to make them harder, sillier, more unfair, or any combination of the three.

- Many of these regions have had their names changed as well.

- Many instances of graffiti that are normally found around the world have been replaced with different arts, some being previously unused, and some completely new.

Dating sim. ( Spoiler Warning )

If the player manages to ascend with ???, after the final cutscene fades out, they are met with a Dating Simulator. It presents several different options below some descriptive text.

??? themselves is shown on the left, having several different unique sprites.

All of the endings involve a different Slugcat from the More Slugcats Expansion.

If you go north, ??? meets Spearmaster.
If you go east, ??? meets Rivulet and Looks to the Moon.
If you go west, ??? meets Gourmand.
If you go south, ??? meets Artificer.
If you go down, ??? meets Saint.

??? Trivia!

to see if you truly understand this slimy secret, I am going to give you some questions about this slugcat. Good luck!


- ??? has a lot of different names from the community and otherwise.

- Enot is what they are generally referred to as by the creators of ???.

- Inv is what they are called in game files and in parts of the code.

- Sofanthiel is a reference to a meme in the MSC Discord, as well as the origins of ???; it is also their main name in the code.

-??? currently cannot be selected as a character for anything but their single-player campaign. Once ??? Mode is triggered, however, Slugpups spawned in Arena Mode have relevant changes.

-However, ???'s world can be selected for Safari Mode, so long as the player has slept in a Shelter as ??? in a relevant region.
