Weremoose scienceless ruins rush (painful)

Yeah this sucks and defeats the purpose of doing a scienceless ruins rush given how long it took me, but it was really fun using the Moose regardless. Also wanted to put a stake on Youtube of a Woodie using the Weremoose extensively for a ruins rush. It was really painful but it's unfair to blame the Moose exclusively for that, you REALLY need to get a Magi if you're going scienceless rather than be greedy and kill AG first like me. But, this was mainly a practice run to see in which areas the Moose (and to a lesser extent the Goose) excels during a ruins rush. The Moose is REALLY good for clearing the Splumonkeys outside the ruins, unsurprisingly. A unique distinction between Abigail is how the Moose can basically take on the entirety of a nightmare phase, nightmare creatures AND Splumonkeys. It gives you a nice nightmare fuel stockpile to start off with and a good amount of food out the gate. Outside of this however the Moose is a mixed bag. He's somewhat useful for clearing branches, even during the nightmare phase, but can get overwhelmed if you don't play carefully and deliberately. Add on that you don't even need to clear a branch to get everything you need and it's better to just run through the ruins as Woodie most of the time. AG is a more interesting comparison given how quickly you can kill him with a single Moose transformation, but you need to be fairly sane. This would most likely mean having to spend time getting green mushroms/cacti, or cutting into your healing by cooking blue shrooms. Not much, around 5-7 should do the trick, but it's just another step of prep that you could skip over just fine if you stick to how a Wilson rushes the ruins. It's disappointing how bad Woodie is as a rushing character with the only real exception of Lunar. His forms just demand too much preparation and rely on really lucky spawns (like the quarry in this video) to get enough monster meat quick enough. You need to use them sparingly in order to justify their use in regular gameplay. I'll look into doing a better rush sometime, though my time with this game has been limited. This originally wasn't even supposed to be a scienceless ruins rush, but after I got lucky with a quarry spawn I decided to roll with it. As for tips, really you should do a regular science run when rushing ruins as Woodie. The Wereforms are much safer and easier to use when you have an adequate amount of items and food to save on resources, since the Wereforms drain them. If I were to do this again I would first gather enough Cacti/Green Caps to fight AG, and only bring 3-4 Idols. A Goose to find Ruins, a few Moose to clear Splumonkeys during nightmare phase and fight AG. I also would make a Magi ASAP, rather than almost die to darkness like I have nearly everytime I do a scienceless rush lmao. It's mainly a confidence issue, but i'll get over it as I continue to get experienced with the ruins overall. (OBS started recording my mic instead of the game midway through, so that's why it switches to music. Sorry for the whiplash!)
