Installation

Installing Ship of Harkinian

Please follow the instructions in the README that comes with your Ship of Harkinian download to get SoH set-up. The SoH discord also has a guide to help you extracting your ROM from whichever physical copy you own. If you want to know more about Ship of Harkinian itself, please check out the Ship of Harkinian website.

How to play Archipelago on Ship of Harkinian

In Ship or Harkinian's quest select menu, select Archipelago. Follow the on-screen instructions. After creating the save file, this file will be linked to your Archipelago slot and will automatically try to connect when loaded.

In the ESC menu you can find the built-in Archipelago console. To find this, navigate to the "Network" tab, then "Archipelago" in the sidebar.

Co-op play on the same slot is available! Just make a save file with the same slot details, and locations will automatically get synced between players.

Anchor multiplayer is also supported, simply join the same room as your friends and you'll be able to see each other running around. Check and Item synchronization is handled through Archipelago so single slot coop and parallel multiworld play will function side by side.

Please take a look at the other options inside the ESC menu to tweak your experience. Pretty much every regular SoH enhancement will work perfectly fine within Archipelago saves, including all the trackers, installed graphical mods and QoL enhancements!

Updating Ship of Harkinian Archipelago

If you have already played SoH AP with an older version and wish to update, take note of the version difference. Our versioning logic goes as follows: x.0.0 and 0.x.0 version differences mean you'll need to update your client as well as the APWorld. 0.0.x version differences are APWorld only updates, and most often you only need to update the .apworld and sometimes your yaml.

Examples: When your client is version 1.1.0, and you want to update to 1.2.0, that means you'll need to update both your client and your APWorld. When your client version is 1.2.0, and you're updating to 1.2.1, you only need to update the APWorld.

To update your SoH client, simply download the newer version, and extract + overwrite all the .zip contents into your existing folder.

Configure Archipelago Options

Configure Your YAML File

In the Archipelago launcher, choose "Install APWorld" and pick the "oot_soh.apworld" file that came with your download. Afterwards, in the Archipelago launcher, you can use the built-in Options Creator which you can find inside the Archipelago Launcher itself.
