So, sure by this time everyone knows you have to skip 0.8 booster when the professor falls from the sky if you want to, later, have the rope you need to save Curly from a certain death (sacrifice for you to live?) at the end of the Core boss fight.

Anyways, something seems unresolved (or maybe I havent gone far enoght in this): What has to do you taking the boost with the rope being there?

If there is no Established in-game logic or plot I can come up with something:
Maybe some misterios creature -perhaps a Cthulhu- was looking (lurking) for a way to climb/go down a cliff.

So, if you don't take the rocket 0.8 he finds that first and the rope is still on its place. But if you don't take it, that creature will look elsewhere and find and take the rope. Which is the reason you don't find it later.

What do you think?
Revelation all of this is solved before (if it is) and/or different speculative theories welcome

I do believe he was aware of that, and was postulating why you can't get the rope if you get the booster 0.8

However, I thought you could, but there was something else you needed booster 2.0 for... like opening the hole in the floor

But that isn't the focus of this thread cultr.

He noting that if you take the booster, the rope disappears, and if you leave the booster, the rope stays, and there is no apparent logic behind this. So he made a theory.

Was that really so hard to understand?


Someone who needs to climb is clever, but boosty would have to give them the .8, and we all know he finishes it later in the game.

Hand of fate: Fate knows you need the Booster 2.0 to go through hell, so it makes the rope more visible to you if you have the chance to get it.

Maybe if you have the booster 0.8, what actually happens is that the booster's flames/energy-circles destroys the rope by quote accidently using it.

That's the best I can come up with, seeing as the core room is sealed (has those shutters) and getting the booster only seems to kill booster and equip you with it.

Clearly, your actions in-game affect the carelessness of Quote.

If you don't make the jump correctly, you have bestowed unto Quote a degree of carelessness. He will not notice the rope and disregard it as junk. Otherwise, if you can make the precise jump, Quote's thinking will be more exact, and he will notice the small yet sometimes important details such as the rope.

Also, I'm not sure your theory of the Cthulu/creature finding the v0.8 (if you don't take it) makes sense. Booster would have kept the v0.8 and fixed it up to create v2.0. Unless he somehow ditched the v0.8 and created v2.0 entirely from scratch.

Oh!

Maybe what it means is that if you make the jump, Quote has OCD. It takes some patience and a certain degree of more-than-normal attentiveness to your surroundings to make the jump (to see the red mark on the block). Obviously if he makes/notices the jump, he has OCD, thus granting him the power to find the rope.

It's a lot like that theory, but instead of not being careless, it means Quote has OCD (which is almost what would be required to figure out the good ending on your own).

I always thought you could see it, but you can't collect after the core fight.

[GIRakaCHEEZER]

I always thought you could see it, but you can't collect after the core fight.

No, you've never able to collect it after the fight (like if you skip the booster but don't pick it up before, you can examine it but not pick it up). But if you get the booster, it's just gone, for no real reason.

Maybe Curly picks it up, since she sees that you have a lot with you, what with you already having a booster.

[DoubleThink]

I always thought of it as Schrodinger's Booster. He's both hurt and unhurt at the same time until you go down and see that he's hurt. In the reality where Quote gets the Tow Rope, it turns out he wasn't hurt so much after all and so was able to repair the teleporter. Also that thing about Quote being careful/OCD makes sense too.
