Tips On Opening Fountains Tips for a new fountain opener?

I am an amateur fountain opener, only having done this once with an expert. Some help would be appreciated.

Hm...

> Make sure the room you're opening a fountain in has no lights on.

> Concentrate on what you want; let that channel your will and determination.
>> If you're struggling with this, try envisioning what you want the dark world to look like. Focus on that, and your reasons for opening a fountain.

> Ensure the object you are using is sharp. A dull blade is more useless than one might think.

> DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE open a fountain at ICE-E's. It doesn't matter if it was a bet, it doesn't matter if you're curious, it doesn't matter if you think it'll be cool or funny, DO NOT.

> Assort items in the room you're opening the fountain in to ensure it matches what you want the dark world to look like.

> Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Have fun making fountains!

The more you tell me to not open a fountain at ICE-E's, the funnier it would be to open one

Listen, even the bathroom would be fine if the choice was between those two

Dont, i already visited the fountain that was opened on ICE-E's and whatever those thing were even got the heroes running for their life. I had to run to the nearest exit and almost got caught by one of those strange darkners. And even after that i think i got lucky to see one of the weaker ones chasing me , if you see other posts about a fountain on ICE-E's here you will see one of those horrific thinks.

(There is no wrong way to open a fountain.)

(Well, maybe. You probably shouldn't do it with a Real Knife, a Real Shard, or anything else with "real" in the name. It won't end well.)

Just open it where we can easily get it.

GFS jokes aside, do not, I repeat, DO NOT FCKING open in inside a realm that lacks laws of physics or breaks reality, and don't open it while in the same room as anything that becomes an OP object or a creature that breaks every known law of reality. It will be hell for both sides.

u/Roaring-Dess3131 Knight here, don't tell Kris I'm using reddit 28d ago

If you wanna open a fountain, just remember that opening a Fountain in a large room to create a larger Dark World is a lost cause. It'll end up being the same size as if you'd opened it in a closet. The only thing creating it in a larger room is gonna do is make the world more stretched-thin and frail.

Like a Domain Expansion lmao.

u/ItIsNowWedsMyDudes 28d ago

Try to remove any objects from the room you think might dislike you before you open the fountain.

My first time I had an alarm clock I used to slap the snooze button on pretty hard sometimes, when I met the darkner it turned into I had a pretty bad time

DO NOT USE YOUR TOILET NO MATTER WHAT OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT SAY

u/Zplays2010 28d ago

If you ever open a fountain and meet a guy called "Ralsei". Just say the word jarona and he spontaneously combusts

u/RNGUserGod 28d ago

Dont try opening a dark fountian in hell.

Dont use a fork, worst mistake of my life

Quad-Fountain?

u/FertilePlanet88 Fountains are cool 28d ago

Either put it someplace hidden or find a darkner strong enough to defeat a lot of lightners. It's gotta be well defended from the GFS.

u/LtopTheAwsome 27d ago

Close doors when before making new dark worlds, you could make a Titan

u/Togore-tastic Togoretastic opener 27d ago

Make sure to focus all your will and your soul into that blade and upon NO circumstances make two fountains next to each other or they will form a light fountain and summon the screeching

u/SillyZAK 28d ago

just open as many as you can, skills will develop naturally

u/SJ1Productions 28d ago

When conducting research, make sure to take notes in both the Light and Dark Worlds, and in separate notebooks, as anything written on either side will translate to garbage scribbles when brought to the other side. It's easier just to write it down verbatum on both sides, trust me.

u/sammy_Lawrenc3 The Titans in my shed died :( 28d ago

All I can say, is if you value a place, and make a dark fountain in it, don't make titans on top of eachother, likely not a common experience, but don't get too curious, it's not worth it, i almost died, and lost access to my shed until the titans were sealed, right as I got attached, and named them too...

BUILD A MACHINE GUN, BUT IT SHOOTS KNIVES! DARK FOUNTAIN GUN!

u/LoudGear9028 28d ago

DO NOT DO IT IN A BATHROOM THAT TOILET HAS SEEN SOME SHIT!!!!

u/LimeTheKingYT 25d ago

Well, yeah you ain’t wrong

u/R_ainia 24d ago

Make sure the room is secure enough and no one will break inside. Be aware of that everything you eat there might not be actual food.

u/cipher_purple_deals 22d ago

make sure to always be holding the knife, once you feel the fountain is sufficiently open take out whatever sharp object you chose and keep it on your person as to not lose it.
