The Followpoint: Ephemeral, the Man Behind the Medals

by MegaMix_Craft

Come join us to delve into the science and magnets behind medals with Ephemeral, osu!'s strongest seagull!

Welcome to The Followpoint, a brand-new series of interview-style podcasts with a different guest each release! This time around we were joined by Ephemeral, the swole seagull who is in charge of all the magic behind medals!

Ephemeral is a bit of an ever-present figure in osu!. Players as ancient as him may remember him for making one of the (top 200) most played beatmaps of all time, but most people know him for being a "community manager", having a hand in many things going on in the back-end.

Among his tasks is leading the development of medals. This makes him the prime subject of avid medal hunters, who have decided to organise an interview where anyone could attend to ask any questions their soul desired answers for, regarding medals or the man himself.

On October 28th, the osu! Medal Hunters Discord server staff hosted an interview with Ephemeral. A recording of the event is available below, complete with timestamps in the description for those of you who want to skip around.

This video reveals solutions to multiple medals. If you want to search for their solutions yourself, you may want to hold off on watching it for now.


Hope you'll enjoy the interview and maybe learn something interesting you didn't know, and... see you next time!

Most medals you could get in one play would require getting banned and unbanned. You need to set this as your first play after getting banned so you can get medals based off stats

Be chan (the mapper) and get a DT FC on Paraparamax with under 70% acc on your 100th retry, having 5k plays in each mode and 50k playcount and more than 100 playcount for the map. Make sure you wait two weeks after being unbanned to play

You can get 25 medals:
Obsessed, Nonstop, Jack of All Trades, Time Dilation, Tribulation, You're Here Forever, Non-stop Dancer, Challenge Accepted, Stumbler, Perseverance, Feel The Burn, 50/50, Overconfident, Time And A Half, Creator's Gambit, Insanity Approaches, Moving Forward, 5k 15k 25k 50k Plays, 500 750 1000 2000 combo

Fun fact, this article used to be WAY larger.. including a shortened transcription
