Yume Nikki - Strange thing in the white desert

[Eatingyoursocks]

Now that I know what Takofuusen actually is, I shuddered when he derped across my screen the next time I saw him.

[RuisuRuisuDance]

It appeared me when I was playing Yume Nikki with a friend. It scared me a lot!!!

[windstarart]

Am I the only one who loves the crap out of this and wasn't afraid of it?

[ADrakiel]

so scary i just look it is my first time playin' and i was looking videos to be sure that this fucking thing really exist uf thanks god i found it the game is so creepy and more if you playing alone in home he

[Kevinmonitor]

Forget about that 1/20 thought thing.I saw this annoying Takofuusen TWO times,one when I leave the tunnel with Monoko,one when I stabbed Dave Spector.Consider myself REALLY lucky?

[Kevinmonitor]

I saw this weird thing twice on the same day.I think it is 1/20 or something like that.

[windstarart]

@Kevinmonitor It's 1/3600, apparently.

[SpizzMediaXP]

yeah i saw it my first visit to the desert...even knowing of the odd chance. i was derping with the dave monster and then *BLIPPIDIPDIP*.

the ONLY time i've been legitimately startled/scared while playing yume nikki.

thaaaaanks tako...

[MadApplePie]

this is the sound of my friend typing on his keyboard

[Nanalyied]

spam, spam everywhere xDDDDDDDD

[dragonfighter02]

1/36000 chance my foot i saw that thing on my first walk in that area i jumped and said "aaaaah"

[SOMEdude7473]

I swear to god, I saw that the first time.

It scared the living shit out of me and made me scream like a little bitch.

[Heartlesswithaheart]

That's a 1/3600 chance? I saw it on my first trip there and pinched myself awake reflexively. >.>

[Suisei]

When I was in the desert and this thing came up. I actually screamed. xD It caught me off guard xD

[ToukoPokemonTrainer]

wtf is that!?

[Wolfantom]

I saw him. i was like OH FUCK ITS HIM! CHASE! CHASE! :D

[DocterEggman]

this happened to me once or twice while playing, I had no idea the odds were so low

[SuperFlameRing]

That thing showed up with me and scared the shit outta me so bad I stopped playing!

That's the first time anything scared me in this game.

[ceilingotaku]

Takofuusen: IM IN UR DREAMS, TROLLIN UR PSYCHE

[wizardbaker]

I LIKE TO FLOAT ACROSS THE SCREEN SOMETIMES, SAYING

"doopdoopdoopdoopdoopdoop"

[roblox184]

flying penis?

[Iemanonymous1]

My reation to Takofuusen:

"Well, that was retarded."

[xannmax]

Thats uboa right?

[animelovergirl1011]

@xannmax No.

[xannmax]

@animelovergirl1011 But I thought.. It was something about a random event? (Just trolling, I know what uboa is xD)

[paddymoep]

@xannmax No, it's Takofuusen, but you probably figured that out in one month.

[xannmax]

@paddymoep I was just trolling :) I know -everything- about yume nikki. ^^

[AgentPika]

i was walking in the white desert one day , going to go try out the stop light on monoko again then suddenly A GIANT BALLON THING FLEW BY XD

it gave me a heart attack

[pivotjuggalo]

That would be the octopus balloon.

[PennyDreadful1]

Looks Shub Niggurathesque. Only kind off happy. Look at those eyes. "WEEEEE"!!

[FaithLynnGriffin]

LOL. The first time I played this game, I was confused in the desert, but then I learned what was there; like Monoe and Monoko... Then this thing appeared OUT OF NOWHERE, and scared the fuck out of me.

[itsnineonefun]

I was just playing and saw this little guy.

Nearly shat myself kajshd

Little bugger scared me good.

[L3nDesu]

the first time that thing showed...

he scared the crap outta meh... xD

i was exploring the place, and then that suddenly appeared x3

[ElementAlucard]

the first time I saw it, I was with my friend telling her about the game and then he kind of derped about my screen. I was like: The hell?

And she thought he was the cutest thing ever, and that's how I got her hooked. Thanks Takofuusen, you derpy balloon animal. :,D

[mescatraz34]

Cool but I dont think this event is creepy enough for me to warrant actually trying to trigger it. Uboa on the other hand.. I gladly sat there for 30 minutes trying to trigger that.

[Mewsa64]

@mescatraz34

Got uboa on the first try... I'd seen it before in vids, but all of those had at least 5 tries before getting it, scared me rather more than I thought it would ^_^;

[mescatraz34]

@Mewsa64 Yeah, no matter how prepared you are, it catches you off guard the first time you see it for sure.

[xwinterDischarger]

ITS OFFICIAL - Takofussen is a vagina.

[UsagiToxic]

I got it in my second-third visit into White Desert and was like "WTF. o_o"

[MichaelCox]

Um...guys...that thing is real. I mean, as in, it really exists.

It's called TRAP syndrome, (Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Syndrome) its' a rare birth defect that sometimes can happen with twins, where one of them winds up with an umbillical cord attached to the other twin rather than the mom, causing it to recieve too much de-oxygenated blood to develop, say, a head and arms.

Look it up on wikipedia, if you dare. Just don't blame me if you start seeing that thing in your own dreams.

[spinkick21]

@MichaelCox

Great.

I was planning on going to sleep tonight, but I guess I'm not anymore.

[KandyKrazed]

@MichaelCox You have scarred me for life.

[Iemanonymous1]

@MichaelCox . . .

o A o

I thought he was just a cute doop-doop monster.

[fraisejuteuz]

@MichaelCox Waw, I understand the "meaning" of this white thing better now. Maybe Madotsuki had a twin who was born this way ? Who knows... This game is so magic, full of mysteries *-*

[Sefifis]

@MichaelCox .

Wow, thats really freaking creepy

[IcyDeath7]

@MichaelCox except this thing has eyes those types of twins devolop without a head or arms. This creature has eyes, tiny arms combined at the shoulder and a body with various bump folds. Pretty similar though.

[SunnyTheBunny1]

@MichaelCox I searched it on Wikipedia. It doesn't gross me out that much. <:c But the poor twins that can get it... It's terrible.

[Iemanonymous1]

@MichaelCox It's a TRAP!

[MasterOnionKnight14]

@MichaelCox dont you think its weird that the same chance of getting the disease is the same as the chance of meeting Takofuusen?

[axlar1]

@MichaelCox Dude I looked that up on google images and it wasn't THAT bad. Yeah, it was disgusting, but it kinda just looked like a chicken.

[santi27o]

@MichaelCox madotsuki's dreams tell much about her feelings, so this mean she could have lost her twin as she was borned.

[MichaelCox]

@santi27o

and yet you never see her eyes, nor so much as a shiver of fear or a skip of delight or anything. For seeing so deep into her dreams, Madotsuki sure is hard to read.

[VamJirachi]

The first time I went in the white desert I encountered Takofuusen. Scared me a little...I also found it rather strange since when it comes to rare events in games, my luck sucks.

[iluvagothkenny]

It happened to me on accident :) I learned he was octopus balloon, but he doesn't to much. He's kinda cute!

[qwertyqeys]

I found a weird event in the desert today, where if you stab the block next to the entrance enough, you will be teleported to a black world with a bunch of people with eyeballs for heads, and the x-axis loop is small enough that anything that walks off the left/right side of the screen appears on the opposite side. This room serves no purpose to my knowledge and can be left by stabbing the block again 6 times (I think.)

[iluvagothkenny]

@qwertyqeys

That's the eye room it takes a 1/thirty something chance.

[qwertyqeys]

@iluvagothkenny Yeah, it was one of the few out of the way areas that I found myself.

[Shoogharr]

I have a feeling Monoe is Tako.

I mean, look at their eyes.

[ExOMeep]

As stated in a previous comment it like: "don't mind me just passing by~" (posted by FeminineCuttlefish)

Yeah... while I'm sitting at my computer and it just shows up and I'm like: OAe

[AdamantSystems]

@SwordfighterRed It's name is takkofusen.

[Physdelicdreaming]

'Da freak?

I seriously have to play this game, even if it fucks with my brain!

[qwertyqeys]

@Physdelicdreaming Yes you do. After playing through this game, you will never be the same... I think...

[moo8dathotmaildotcom]

I saw him and did not change it. it was dark.

i nearly shit myself. :v

[Urmean15]

bloopeedoopeedoopeededlelelele­leledeleleyoopy

[hamtarofanlives]

DERP!

[IHeartBrattyPets1212]

It's just so damn HAPPY.

[cuddlez54]

Oh lord.

I had my friend over to play it with me and she was telling me about it and how there was a small chance of seeing it. I went in to kill Monoko, left, I saw it, I -came- freaked out.

.... :D

[SpartanJose777]

What if you make it rain and then use the demon form to make lightning happen? I wonder if anything happens then.

[DominiqueCross]

Omg, I was playing now Yume Nikki and watching some videos in the other PC when I saw this thing floating O_O i was scared xD.

I feel lucky *_*

[powdrpunkgrrl]

its really easy to encounter him if you use the speed glitch (get in the chair and use the bicycle then you go uber fast) and just run around. i encountered him in just a couple minutes :3

[brokeanddrive]

It looks and sounds so H... A... P... P... Y...

[Conkerfan364]

Is it me, or does the name "Takofuusen" sound and look like "take off unseen"?

[cateye008]

I don't know why, but for some reason, I have a sudden urge to deflate it with a needle...

[ricardogriva]

WTF WAS THAT?

[SheJanel]

It's a lumpy person.

:D

[BBBQ4]

i freaked out when i saw this for the first time DDD:

[XGluon]

Fun fact: Did you know that Takofuusen is an atmospheric being?

.....If you don't know what an atmospheric being is, look it up on Wikipedia.

[molocmola]

I saw it the first time I ended there!!! and then I got lost...

[TwosComplement]

I don't get it. Why would the chance of the event happening be so slim?

[SaynaTheSpiffy]

@TwosComplement When it comes to Yume Nikki, it's best not to ask why.

[HakurasMan]

@TwosComplement I'm thinking that it would be so if someone happened to find it and posted about it online, everyone would call them crazier than this game itself is.

[Icalasari]

@TwosComplement It's Yume Nikki. There is a five limbed girl in it. The protagonist can turn herself into a tiny person that can clone herself and pop her clones. I'm pretty sure that there is no real reason for why the event is so rare

[Mespritroth]

@Icalasari Don't forget Uboa *shudder*

[cherrypopgirl08]

its stalking you ~(O3O)~

[charemthecharmeleon]

Well, that was...different. Even for Yume Nikki.

[MrSuperWeeGee]

Its a 1/3600 chance, but said chance is reset every time you take a step, so equipping the bicycle and running around will eventually trigger this event.

[Left4DeadNick]

I like the music that plays when it goes by.

xD

[masterspark153]

I saw that thing by the first time I went to the monochrome world. Am I really that lucky?

[XGluon]

A little help on triggering Takofuusen: The event that determines its appearance resets every minute. If you wait 2 hours, it will undoubtly appear.

[SwordfighterRed]

@XGluon Interesting. Always two hours, or is that just a statistical probability?

[WarSarah]

@XGluon Correction.It resets after very step you take.So, it should appear in a few minutes or so.

[Mewsa64]

@XGluon

Not true, it resets every time you take a step, so walking(or cycling) around for a few minutes will trigger it.

[SlendermanxLove]

@XGluon Can you tell me where to download this?? If so, thank you :D

[LavaWave666]

It makes me thing of the Cthulhu, it might be inspired from it :|

[XGluon]

Reminds me of the GIANT belemnite from Aero Fighters 3.

Very rarely appears, appears unexpectedly, is completely harmless, and will make you go "WTF?!?!?".

[XGluon]

@XGluon

And both are celephopod-ish. (This thing is called "Takofuusen", which means "octopus balloon", and a belemnite is a prehistoric squid)

[NeTheRabbit]

That thing is adorably funny. Xb

[Putzpie4U]

I actually had this happen to me, and I was scared PISSLESS when it happened >_>

[jimmygnome9]

Holy crap I saw one of these go through the sky during my most recent playthrough and had no idea what it was. 1/3600 chance? Damn I'm lucky.

[Chamillionare64]

That guy sure knows how to party.

[FearTehFan24]

As creepy as everyone thinks it is, I want to hug it....it DOES have arms to hug.....

[CypressDahlia]

I tried to stab it.

[Jessiemp3]

what did hannah montana do to herself?

D:

[Blazekirby9]

@Jessiemp3

She looks the same to me. :P

[Iyasenu]

1/3600!?!?

Wow D:

I'm surprised I saw it...

is that chance every second or something?

I can't imagine being lucky like that xD

But this thing scared the crap outta me

Outta nowhere doopitdoopitydoopity

...

still beats that sudden AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

-shudder- some things are just surprising xD

[LunarLuna13]

@Iyasenu I'm surprised i saw it too i was just sitting there and i was looking through the inventory thing while i was talking to my sis when i heard it and i quickly got the stoplight thing and went back to the game but when i saw it i screamed and my scream scared my sister so we're kinda hoping that we don't see it again T.T I think the scariest part was that it took up the whole screen

[LunarLuna13]

@LunarLuna13 whats even funny is i even tried to see uboa but i couldn't get him to show up till about the millionth time

[verysmartass]

Doompadoompadoompa hello and goodybye doompadoompadoompa

[CadPCrayon]

Wow. Amazingly creative. I was horribly mistaken when I thought my daydreams were strange. Apparently the mind behind this game is particularly disturbed.

[OMGBEARS]

@CadPCrayon Either that or fuckin' brilliant!

[baconlabs]

This is the one thing that genuinely gave me chills when I was playing, because I already knew the chances of seeing it were astronomical.

So I'm wandering around this place, and all of a sudden that doopadoopadoopa noise starts up, I can't recognize it from anywhere, and I about have a heart attack when it shows up.

[Mulekeep]

I saw it while I was playing a while earlier. It only appeared once, though. I saw it, realized what it was, then it disappeared.

I felt so happy. <3

[HazenKain]

thanks.. now I know that Im not the only one who actually got to find this guy in the game.. I must have some sort of weird luck to find strange things as I also found Uboa on the very first time I turned that switch...

[protonmonkey]

bloopbloopbloop.

Haha, this guy is so cool!

[RokodoRL]

I wish it would float down and you could ride it somewhere.

[FeminineCuttlefish]

"Doopdoop don't mind me just passing by doopdoop"

[CJAnonymous]

@FeminineCuttlefish: ... "Howdy, neighbor!" ... "See ya later, neighbor!" ... "Howdy, neighbor!" ... "See ya later, neighbor!" ... "Howdy, neighbor!" ... "See ya later, neighbor!" ...

[WoofMichelle]

Hey, does anyone know how to get into that cave in the video's beginning? When I try to go in, nothing happens. ^^;

[SwordfighterRed]

@WoofMichelle It's a one-way cave. You go through it via video game world.

[WoofMichelle]

Ah. Thanks! ^^;

[LunaCrets]

o.o I have seen that thing twice >> tis weird o.o

[brocksnort]

Is it weird that I laughed rather then get scared? xDD The bongos were all too random so I laughed instead.

[SkellionPowalskiz]

I can now count myself one of the few to encounter Takofuusen.

[ScarfDogg]

WOAH WHAT

[Davideogamer]

I think I saw something like this when I played it. Scared the shit out of me, just coming out of nowhere like that.

[Steeple333]

Is it 1/3600 chance of it happening every moment you're in the desert, or every time you enter the desert? Like, would it appear if I just hang around 3,600 seconds, or whatever?

[SwordfighterRed]

@Steeple333 The event in question seems to run the moment you enter into the desert. I'm not familiar with RPG Maker syntax, but it rolls a number between 0 and 3599, then executes Takofuusen if the result is one, then it has a .5 second wait at the end of the event. Do RPG Maker events naturally loop while their condition is met, or do you have to tell them to?

[Steeple333]

Loop? Dunno. It seems like, yeah, the chance only happens when you enter the desert, and not when you hang around.

[SatoshiLyish]

Surprisingly I seem to be one of the lucky people who's encountered this creature naturally. I had no idea what was going on at the time, and I instinctively ran away from it ^^;

Anyway, I remember waiting in the desert for a long time (I was trying to explore every bit of the area) when suddenly it appeared. So, I'm thinking the event is either time based or movement based.

SwordFighterRed, what value did you change in the script to get this to occur?

[Chazzeh]

You have to tell them to. It sounds like there was a switch triggered by the 1/3600 chance- on the new page of the switch it would be told to repeat.

[stridervm]

@SwordfighterRed

Depends on the syntax. If there's no "if" loop which restarts the condition, then probably it just triggers when you get into the desert map. It doesn't calculate every second you are in there.

[otamasandoicchi]

鮹風船ですｗ

[megawolf77]

There's this 1 map I found that has an interesting event. (open this in RPGMaker2003, open the very first map group and select the map that's an 8-Bit world with the name "----002?")

Obviously, I see many scattered events all over the map, and on the left is an Event to activate it. I think that if somehow you trigger this event the whole room will result to glitch (given clue is that it plays the BGM_032, which is a glitch music.) It only occurs 1/8 chances and I don't know how to trigger it.

[gallantmon8]

Rly nao?

[RyxEuclie]

By 8-bit do you mean the earthbound area?

[megawolf77]

Actually, the one that looks like a dungeon area of an 8-bit RPG.

[SwordfighterRed]

@megawolf77 Ah, yeah, that event. Apparently one of the blocks you can examine over and over again, and it'll give you a box full of numbers like the other NPCs in that world.

[ItaLuv11]

Oh...oh god. DB And I thought that there was nothing left that could surprise me in Yume Nikki.

[XMollyKuramaX]

At first I didn't think this was all that creepy, just kinda funny.

The more I watch this, the freakier it gets...

[ZShakibGO]

Holy crap! quik! hide inside the cave where monoko is! oh... nvm... O_oU

[kbryant1994]

It's not so much scary, it's just kinda, sorta, really creepy.

[chainsawgood123]

I guess you're right...

[Exarian]

and rare... I think you had a higher chance of winning the lottery if you didn't mess with the probabilities.

[nintendonut888]

The fact that you're not expecting it and it's such a rare event. Not to mention this game's atmospheric effect can't be captured by Youtube.

[chainsawgood123]

Unexpected does not make scary, and neither does rare events

[deafinmyrighteye]

So you've never been scared by something that appeared unexpectedly?

Liar.

[chainsawgood123]

I have, but that's not scary

[deafinmyrighteye]

You just contradicted yourself within the span of three words.

[chainsawgood123]

I have been scared by things that appeared unexpectedly, but it's when they suddenly flash up on the screen, that just floats by, and it doesn't even LOOK scary

[fairywool]

Uboa is almost cute compared to this thing.

[Steeple333]

Uboa is ALWAYS cute, regardless. =3b

But I think the Takofuusen looks goofy, too. Hee.

[TangledWish]

I guess Im not gonna sleep for a couple nights now :\

[divcotta]

I got it the first time I went into the white desert! Fun times.

[NukeSocks]

0:20 to 0:25 , the face changes direction.

[EleventhHourPower]

It's an NPC.

It can walk around on its own, though that would be creepy if it was just a head and it moved like that...

[aconnor96]

THE FUCK

[PinkxFluff]

Wtf? I watched this video and thought, "Wow, that's creepy. But it's a 1/3600 chance it'll happen to me." Then I decide to replay YN, and I went to the Black and White world just for fun. And then, BAM, there he is.

I SWEAR, this ALWAYS happens to me. Whenever I say, "Wow, that'll never happen to me", it just appears and scares the crap out of me.

[IMMAOJ]

holy..nfjdfdf

[nyxetera]

I'm glad this didn't happen to me, I would've shat a brick house.

[AngelicSkitty]

I got it the first time I played Yume Nikki. I shat bricks.

[TheGasMaskKid13]

I saw it the first time I tried to lol

[TheHomicidalPixie]

Oh, yeah, it happened to me, too. He just went diagonally across the screen.

My legs were in a spaz for like... 15 minutes. I couldn't move them.

That's how scary that mofo is.

Btw, did you know that it's called Takofuusen (octopus baloon)?

[hosigaki0000]

未だにタコ風船にあえないorz

ﾁｬｶﾎﾟｺﾁｬｶﾎﾟｺ・・・・・

[Madofisshu]

Jesus, this actually happened to me in-game. I've never heard of this event before and it just appeared suddenly. Scared the shit out of me.

[BackgroundBailey]

Can you pause it with the red/green light effect?

I just reinstalled the game and ran into it by accident (though I didn't have the traffic light effect, hence my asking); didn't know it was that rare of an occurance!

[SwordfighterRed]

I haven't tested whether or not you can, but I doubt it, because it's not an NPC entry, but just a script command moving two images across the screen absolutely.

[tonykattvc]

I saw it appear, it scared the crap out of me at first until I remembered what it was.

[Krisoyo]

I saw that one... one of the first time I was in the monochrome... Tried to make it reappear, but... yeah.... now I know why it didn't...

[Pokeduns]

I saw it twice. Both times I was near an entrance, and reflexively fled into it before I could get a good look at it.

[sonicchica]

First time I played Yume Nikki I saw that thing and panick and tried to get away from it.

[KaoriBlue]

Does anyone know if there's something to be done in the bathhouse in the wilderness/jungle location? I.e. the place where you find the diamond-shaped portal to sky-garden?

[SwordfighterRed]

With the weird thing sucking up all the water? None that I can see.

[jongyon7192p]

What makes it happen? Like for turning off the switch for Uboa. Does it happen everytime you move or...

(how do I put it, you know what I mean, right?)

[SwordfighterRed]

There doesn't seem to be any special trigger other than entering the desert. It's just a 1/3600 chance that determined when you enter, I suppose, because the probability on the event is all I had to change. :\

[jongyon7192p]

But it appeared everytime it disappears. So there has to be a different trigger.
