game-questions-returns

[tired comet]

like why is this one green and that one purple? I infer after collecting enough loot from each but I was also looking for some descriptions in the codex...

[pseudo tundra]

guys im at the strange battery chest room why isnt the chest there (i need to put the battery in it)

[tough thicket]

the one ||under the contact light?||

[pseudo tundra]

yes

[drowsy vault]

did you put something in it previously ?

[pseudo tundra]

no first time going to it

[tough thicket]

past the golems, yeah?

[pseudo tundra]

ye past the vibing golems

[thorn pier]

Someone did then

[pseudo tundra]

im in solo

[thorn pier]

Maybe your friend

Hm

[tough thicket]

oh something might already be in there maybe

[pseudo tundra]

hold on

[drowsy vault]

he said it was the first time

[plain gull]

helo

where can I find the song that plays near the golems that sit with the boombox on the last stage

[oak kernel]

for sniper is it the lighter purple the perfect reload or the darker one

[tough thicket]

lighter

[split wedge]

I have steam achievement for unlocking miner but game crashed later on that stage. Am I just gonna have to redo it?

[plain gull]

probably not

[split wedge]

hes not unlocked in game, no way to sync?

[mortal void]

if the lighter purple is the perfect reloda then what does the other purple do?

[oak kernel]

gotta do it again, if it sync then i would've unlock everything in the game the first day

[tough thicket]

decent reload

[oak kernel]

what the difference between the two? do i give less bonus damage?

[tardy sphinx]

has anyone been able to get the enforcer Turtle achievement? (Stay in shield mode for 5 minutes (in combat)). I did that by having a golem hit me for 5 minutes with my shield up but i didnt get any achievement

[tough thicket]

i think?

[tough thicket]

you have to do it before finishing the teleporter

[sour valve]

to get the final trial, do you have to beat every trial OR just unlock every trial?

[mortal monolith]

what is a golden drone exactly?

[mortal monolith]

pretty sure you have to beat them all

[cunning sedge]

go on drizzle with damage taken rule set to the lowest and just afk for a bit

[novel beacon]

Is risk of rain returned available on Xbox yet

[tough thicket]

tier 2 drones like attack drones and emergency drones can be thrown into one of those drone combiners to turn into gold drones

[spiral hawk]

will they be adding Monsoon skins to the game?

[azure bough]

best pilot kit?

leave suggestions

[honest light]

I enjoy his alt m1 despite being inaccurate and stuff

[junior wave]

I've not heard good things about ||Aerial Support||. And while the piercing shot of Clusterfire is useful for sure, ||The lack of a proc coefficient multiplier like in RoR2 makes Rapid Fire very very good at proccing items||.
Utility I think are mostly up to preference, I'd say. I prefer the alt myself.

[honest light]

I wanted an actual machine gun of sorts in the game

[honest light]

ATG is nutty

[tropic elbow]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3082560478

[azure bough]

aerial no good? @junior wave

[junior wave]

I couldn't tell you why, I don't have it yet myself. But every time I've seen someone talk about it, they say they largely prefer the base special

If you also use the base utility, it also gives you the extra air time, which is very valuable.

Maybe it's better paired with the alt utility, in that case?

[azure bough]

gotcha

[weak dagger]

||aerial support is good because you don't need to baby sit it, when situations become too hectic to bother staying anywhere nearby, firing and forgetting is its strength||

plus like it hits flying enemies etc

[amber nebula]

Good evening, I only come to ask a single question... Where is the crown artifact?

[junior wave]

Top right of Hive Cluster

[frosty brook]

is hardlight afterburner good on enforcer

[forest temple]

HAN-D golden drone how to unlock?

[tropic elbow]

after looping do recycle drone machines not exist because I havent seen one in ages

[amber nebula]

THANK YOU, NOW IF YOU ALLOW ME, I WILL GO LOOK FOR MAGIC STONES

[smoky haven]

I think I unlocked Acrid on day 1 and I'm pretty sure that his primary could attack multiple enemies at once
I finally play him again now and he's only able to hit a single enemy at a time
Am I remembering wrong and it was that way in the first place (weird dev decision then) or is this some kind of a bug caused by a patch or smth?

[bleak adder]

you need to find a drone combiner and combine 3 tier 2 drones

[timid orbit]

is lens maker glasses 17% crit for the first one or just 10% and then +7 for every stack after?

[woven dust]

Original version did, 10% dodge per, capped at either 35% or 45% don't remember which

[woven dust]

I assume a bug, you can definitely normally hit all enemies that overlap the hitbox

[ember steeple]

so whats with acrid now? i thought he was some sort of thing that became a thing becasue of a screw up by the intergalatic space police but what about now

[scenic mountain]

Genetic experiment that was lost in transit when moving locations

@ember steeple

[prisma kestrel]

i was trying to unlock ||robomando|| and i was on the second run, got my battery, hit the teleporter at the time necessary and got sent to the magma stage instead of the goop stage ): should i have waited for like... one second more on the teleporter timer??

[tall kernel]

• First one grants 10%
• Additional copies grant 7% extra
• Harvester's Scythe and Predatory Instincts both grant 5% (doesn't increase with further stacks)
• Wicked Ring grants 5% on the first copy, and an additional 10% on further stacks
• Razor Penny grants 3% on the first copy, and an additional 3% on further stacks

So assuming one of each copy (Wicked Ring + Harverster's Scythe + Predatory Instincts), you need a grand total of 12 Lens Maker's Glasses for a total 102% crit chance.
And if you wanna get specific with it, You need one of each (Wicked Ring + Harverster's Scythe + Predatory Instincts), plus 10 Lens Maker's Glasses, plus 3 Razor Pennies for a total 100% crit chance.

[tough thicket]

he can spawn on magma barracks

[sage iron]

how get sac rac fice

[scenic mountain]

Razor pennies give 3% and +3% per stack aswell

[prisma kestrel]

hmmm good to know. i could not find the drone and i got murdered by a scav anyway orz

[scenic mountain]

For Mando will the chest still spawn if u use sacrifice?

[tall kernel]

Is that a unlockable item? Haven't gotten it yet

[scenic mountain]

It is. Common that gives u gold for crits

[woven dust]

I have predominantly heard no to this question, but some people say yes

[surreal prism]

is there a way to know what map variant I am on? I am trying to get all log books so I just want to restart if I get the wrong variant

[pliant spire]

I was trying for ||robomando|| and made it to the second run, grabbed the battery and died do I need to go back to step 1 or does it save?

[tranquil cedar]

hey questions , im doing some file editing and its not porting in to the game im confused why its not working

[molten notch]

When does the cape crash the game? Do I need to avoid it during normal runs?

@weak dagger sorry for ping

[slow geyser]

Does the archaic wisp (the purple one that isn't a boss) not have a logbook entry?

[tall kernel]

What's the purpose of AS on Sniper? Is it really a dead stat? Or does it actually benefit things like Steady Aim?

[mortal monolith]

anybody got any hints on where the artifact of origin is?

[azure bough]

how do you get the battery

[tall kernel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj8HnJ3Kwls

[young hawk]

my game crashed when i used the batter on the little guy is that supposed to happen

[molten notch]

At least in 2 attack speed made the reload bar go faster but not sure in 1 or returns

[charred cipher]

I believe in the original you had to beat providence with a bunch of other artefacts on

[north valve]

how to unlock prophets cape

[molten notch]

Commando dodge lethal attacks achievement

[willow marten]

how do u unlock miner? i'm at the lava stage but cannot find the area

[charred cipher]

No, that happens if you have prophets cape and you have to start all the way from step 1 again

[forest quiver]

when we loop, do we play the exact same stages and variants we did before?

[willow marten]

there'll be a mini boss somewhere on the map right?

[young hawk]

ok not doing that

[charred cipher]

Nope, randomly changes

[forest quiver]

gotcha

trying to farm the correct stage for loader prism

[charred cipher]

It’s good to turn off new stages in the pre game settings if you’re going for prisms, they’re all on the og map variants

[forest quiver]

yeah I did

I just keep getting damp caverns

[charred cipher]

Then the rest is up to rng gl

[lunar mango]

So i crashed after starting robomando with the battery because of the cape, but when i try and do the steps over again the chest no longer spawns for me to put the battery in, am i locked out?

[charred cipher]

It definitely speeds up the secondary charging and might give you a larger perfect reload window

[willow marten]

who are the easiest survivors to unlock? other than bandit

[tall kernel]

According to RoR1's wiki, a faster secondary charging directly decreases the amount of total damage it does (since it charges based on the time held and not the bar itself).

I wonder if it works the same way in RoR returns? Or if the Devs thought of it and changed it so where damage increases alongside the bar?

[woven dust]

Yes, you have to start over from the beginning if you get the battery out of the chest and fail for any reason, including crashes

[warped bay]

are there monsoon win skins for each character?

[woven dust]

No

[tall kernel]

Been looking for concise answers for this but I can't seem to find conclusive evidence. Maybe I'll just go test it tomorrow when I have time

[charred cipher]

Yeah sorry, seems like you know more than me

[cunning sedge]

Not sure if any devs are around or if anyone knows but is Miner's dash invul interaction with alt utility known?

[tall kernel]

Well, I guess I'll just have to test it tomorrow then 😔

[cunning sedge]

or well if its intentional

[harsh pagoda]

would anyone happen to know why my stats arent saving in game? They are just inaccurate

[novel crane]

For ||robo mando||, do I have to wait until 22:00-22:59?

[novel root]

does anyone have a list of all the new crystal scepter upgrades?

i wanna see the altenrate ones

[cunning sedge]

I've heard that you need to do 22:00 exact and that you can do anytime between 22:00-22:59. Personally, I did it at 22:00 exact but I'm pretty sure the seconds dont matter

[novel root]

it does not matter

any time works

like

between

the minutes

[civic ibex]

Do it exactly on 22 is what I got and it worked

if you wanna be super safe about it go 22 exactly

[split glade]

Is risk of rain returns coming to ps5? sorry if this is the wrong chat.

[novel root]

i did it after 22

it doesnt matter

[bright dirge]

what is the bloated survivor

[split glade]

I looked online but no specific answers

[slow geyser]

Bottom right corner of hive

[kind rose]

in the pink hive there's a corpse at the bottom right most corner you can interact with. I don't know if it needs a specific variant

[slow geyser]

Should be a yellowish blob

[bright dirge]

thanks

[solar compass]

will they be updating returns at all in the future? new survivors etc.

[novel crane]

Last question for now
Where is the Illegal Shipment? Im assuming somewhere on the Contact?

[kind rose]

yeah it's in the top left keycard room. there are chests in the background in there and it's one of them that you can interact with

[novel crane]

Ohhhh gotcha
Thanks

[timid orbit]

can mobs still spawn after tp is done?

[kind rose]

nope

[vernal obsidian]

Is chef still as much fun as he was in RoR1?

[slow geyser]

Enemies stop spawning once the tp timer reaches 90/90. They will stop spawning if the tp is charged but the boss is still alive, too

[slow geyser]

Subjective, but imo yes

[vernal obsidian]

Hooray!

[novel crane]

I did the teleporter right on 22, im on the right map, where do i find ||robomando||

Nevermind

Got it

[bright dirge]

do you have to kill robomando or die to him

[echo sparrow]

I found it in the forest what is this?

[kind rose]

you have to die

[bright dirge]

okidoki

[thorn geode]

what's the easiest way to unlock saw on han-d?

or just like, a method that works

[bright dirge]

where is romando inside hive cluster

[solid olive]

how far can you raise HAND attack speed with his speed drones

?

[kind rose]

what's the unlock condition again? i have it but don't remember what i did specifically

is it the one where you need to kill a bunch with the saw active item?

[thorn geode]

kill 15 yeah

does it need to be all at once?

[kind rose]

in one usage of it

i believe

that's what i did

[echo sparrow]

How do you get the illegal shipment?

[thorn geode]

yeah it is one use

[kind rose]

i think i used the artifact of glass and waited on the first stage for a bunch of enemies to spawn

[kind rose]

on the contact light in the top left keycard area there will be some faded chests. there is one you can interact with that will unlock it

[echo sparrow]

o

Interesting

Thank you

[woeful cargo]

ive done the steps for robomando twice now and it hasnt worked twice now
do you have to use the strangebattery at least once on your second run for it to tp you in the box? it hasnt spawned me in the box either time

[kind rose]

you don't spawn in the area with robomando on stage 4 you have to go find him

[chilly raptor]

how do you unlock the artifact of tempus

[rare sparrow]

what are the chances of getting something from a shrine of chance because I get so many 4-7 hits with nothing

[kind rose]

i believe you need to get to stage 5 before 16 minutes pass. i'll admit i got that one by accident and only really found out more when i was double checking my memory for other artifacts

[chilly raptor]

ohh ok tysm

[woeful cargo]

thank you. watched a misleading video.

[kind rose]

i may have watched the same one when i was trying to get him myself so i know your pain

[woeful cargo]

oof

[analog path]

How do I unlock Huntress' alternate primary? I only know of Acrid (and technically robo) as event bosses

[chilly raptor]

is origin unlocked by beating the game with every artifact or every old artifact? because on risk of rain in providences boss room its just the old artifacts

[weak dagger]

||direseeker and prov are the other two easy ones||

[hasty furnace]

How to unlock artifact glass?

[viscid garnet]

does origin count for it?

[sullen compass]

there's a damn chest in the final level its locked behind 3 pillars and im going insane trying to get it, how the hell am i supposed to get it -

[weak dagger]

i actually think so

[weak dagger]

secret wall

[viscid garnet]

oh, cool
other one I can think of is the secret boss for an artifact unlock right

[chilly raptor]

can someone pls explain what the point of this room is

[sullen compass]

huh where if its too high up i ddont think i can even get it

no mobility

bruh found it

[weak dagger]

yeah poke around in the game you'll be surprised how many exist

[sullen compass]

i thought the walls could only be horizontal not floors too

thats why-

[sterile wedge]

bro is the damned artificer multikill achievement bugged?

I counted out 20 lemurians before killin these mfs and didn't get shit

twice

[vocal trout]

Are any alt mercenary skills good

[viscid garnet]

they're all pretty cool

I think the alt special is really boring but its probably strong idk

[mortal monolith]

how does one "drown" an enemy?

[toxic junco]

What are the unique event bosses for huntress, acrid direseeker and what else

[still cape]

parry the fall damage private

[inland minnow]

Provi

[toxic junco]

ok

[cloud shore]

Bump

[rare sparrow]

whats the different between chef's glaze and it's second helping variant

[worn sky]

disable new stage variants

[wind monolith]

make them fall out of the stage

[frosty yoke]

Since i am using DualShock4 gamepad to play the game - is there a possibility to change the in button indicators to Playstation ones?

[weak dagger]

further distance

[rare sparrow]

damn

I was thinking maybe the debuff would last longer or smothing

[atomic patrol]

uhhh what does this do--

im doing the last trial rn

[weak dagger]

honestly off the top of my head i'm unsure one sec its been awhile

I don't think it does, if it does its a minor percentage I'm too tired rn lol

[weak dagger]

fire trails

[junior wave]

Blazing Elite the item

[atomic patrol]

o7

[mortal monolith]

i dont know what the illegal shipment is but is it on the contact light? dont tell me where it is just tell me whether or not its there

[ivory oar]

how does one acquire a golden drone

[junior wave]

It is there, somewhere.

[mortal monolith]

yeah i found it after I typed this actually

[mortal monolith]

its the combo drone thing

[ivory oar]

like the interactable that requires 3 identical drones ?

[mortal monolith]

yes

[ivory oar]

thank youuu

[mortal monolith]

ok new question actually, where is this third hidden event boss for huntress's challenge?

I know of the elder lemurian for the miner unlock and acrid, but I dont know of any third boss that would be applicable

unless im dumb?

[steady marsh]

prov counts

[mortal monolith]

bruh

I would not call that a "hidden event" but ooookaaay

[wind monolith]

both gilded worms count too

[steady marsh]

I mean ur other option is boar beach but idk if that counts

[mortal monolith]

I dont even know where boar beach is, I remember stumbling into it when I first played the game but I cannot find it again

[twin cradle]

Is there a trick to grabbing ropes quickly? It feels really hard to latch on to the ropes with a controller. I would keep holding or even spamming up on a rope and my character wouldn't grab it

[steady marsh]

Gotta make sure you aren't shooting during it

If you're in an attack animation when you want to grab a rope you won't grab it

[twin cradle]

oh, i didn't know that.... it was probably worse because I was playing Huntress. Thanks!

[steady marsh]

lol yeah it takes practice dw when I was doing hot ropes I fucked it up constantly

[twin cradle]

Yeah, I was so confused why I couldn't climb the ropes

Has it always been like that?

[steady marsh]

You mean since ror1?

[twin cradle]

Yeah. . . I didn't remember having this problem back then

Granted it's been couple of years since I touched ror1

[steady marsh]

I'm pretty sure but I might be wrong haven't played it in years lmao

[coarse pagoda]

hey guys, first time playing RORR, just wondering if theres a general best control scheme? (for keyboard or controller)
Im mostly experienced in ror2, but generally prefer controller for 2d games.

[sullen linden]

Whichever you're more comfortable with, really
I use the one that has all my skills on the shoulder buttons and it works out well enough for me

[next ice]

Is the Bustling Fungus supposed to stop healing when shooting/in combat? It only mentions standing in place in its Log entry

[brazen sedge]

Any Miner tips? I'm playing on Monsoon and I find it very hard to jump and melee unlike with Loader and Acrid.

[deep pulsar]

Picking up items to boost your damage like on-hits and especially the flash grenade would be good. You can stun quite a few enemies, more if you're blazing.

You have 2 invincibility skills, one that pushes enemies away and one that stuns them for easy damage. Make sure to use these often to avoid damage. Your special, ironically, shouldn't be spammed as it does not give invincibility, and you're often going to take damage if it isn't actually killing them enemy. It is very effective on the Magma Worm, however.

[compact bough]

For drifters providence trial : equivalent exchange - how are you suppose to trade the item ? I've hit the button for the ability to go off but it just doesn't work (bar was completely full)

[topaz temple]

i'm currently playing around in the providence trials and i see most of them unlock specific abilities for survivors but what does the SOS trial give? it doesn't list any rewards from what i can tell in the description

[deep pulsar]

You need to be close to the item and facing it.

[compact bough]

OH so you don't pick it up at all you have to just face it?

[deep pulsar]

It gives ||a Commando skin||

[deep pulsar]

Yeah if you pick it up you can't reroll it.

[brazen sedge]

Is there any real benefit to using the Explosion utility? I was messing around with it and while the damage is really high, it seems kinda useless because it almost always leaves me in a worse state than I would've been if I didn't use it because of the 25% health cost.

[tame saddle]

how am I supposed to get out of here? I have 1 hopoo feather and I dont know where the gaps are. Hypothetically I could wait to see if an elite vagrant happens to drop an item where I am but I dont know the chances of that

[topaz temple]

||is is the same one as the prism skin or is it different?||

[deep pulsar]

Depends. I've used it a few times and it's good as a burst if you want to actually kill with it to get things off you. You will want to compensate with Medkits and Monster Teeth, however.

[deep pulsar]

||No, it's a full green Commando.||

[topaz temple]

sickk

[sterile horizon]

how do you get this logbook?

[deep pulsar]

For the record, challenges don't just unlock skills. They also unlock skins, and even items.

[deep pulsar]

Go in from the right.

[tame saddle]

have you tried hugging the wall? what skill do you have?

[deep pulsar]

You should be able to drop down into the tunnel.

[sterile horizon]

got it, I just was entering through the wrong spot

Thanks!

also are you not always able to get miner?

[deep pulsar]

Yes, he is unavailable in some levels.

Actually, most levels.

[sterile horizon]

dang :/

[deep pulsar]

You might want to turn on classic stages only for the 1/3 on entry.

It's only on Varient 1 if I remember.

[tame saddle]

wait, am I stuck? I've been dashing upwards, but I only hit ceiling, and both walls are covered too, afaik

[deep pulsar]

You can go around.

[tame saddle]

go around where?

[deep pulsar]

Go through the door below and just climb up the T-Section.

[tame saddle]

??

i cant go right btw

[deep pulsar]

Are you stuck in there? Can't get back in bounds?

[tame saddle]

think so

[deep pulsar]

Oh.

[tame saddle]

cant go out left here

[deep pulsar]

Yeah, you might be a bit screwed. I don't think you're supposed to be able to get in there. Do check for hidden ladders just in case.

Are you using the climb ability?

It seems to have a corner clipping issue.

[tame saddle]

yeah

[deep pulsar]

Hm, try this.

Climb up the right wall

[deep pulsar]

That's as far as you can go?

[tame saddle]

yep

[topaz temple]

oh sick, i figured it was just for skills when i first looked at them, that's why i was confused at SOS

[deep pulsar]

Hmm... I...
I don't know if it's quite possible to clip through an indenting corner.

You might need to be pixel perfect if you can.

[tame saddle]

OH

I did it

that was fucked

[deep pulsar]

Phew

Crisis averted

[tame saddle]

that was like third try

[deep pulsar]

Maybe the marble gate will be an S-tier item for climbing Pilot mains.

Just as a life saver.

[tame saddle]

true

[deep pulsar]

Accidents seem to be common

[shrewd finch]

Go to the floor above, ladder down on the TOP OF THAT FLOOR

[tame saddle]

couldnt go to tje floor above

[shrewd finch]

Oh wtf you're OoB it looked like you were trying to get the chest lmao

Love pilot, not so much the random clipping sometimes

[tame saddle]

yeah i thought there was a secret room in a gap above the door or something

since i couldnt get to that red item lmao

I didn't even realize I was stuck until like a few minutes of trying to get out

[lethal bone]

what this

[shrewd finch]

There is a hole there, think it's the way out of the chest

[shrewd finch]

Merc skin

[lethal bone]

oooo cool

[shrewd finch]

Prisms are outlined if you don't have the character unlocked

[lethal bone]

woah sick is there one for every character ive not seen one of these before

[edgy cipher]

hey what are acrids unlockable ability's

[shrewd finch]

Idr how many there are, 10ish? There's skins in trials etc

[shrewd finch]

Unlockable enemies?

[edgy cipher]

sorry i mean abilitys

[simple kernel]

Is it safe to pick up the white undershirt?

[sullen linden]

Yes, it's mostly just a fun item

[simple kernel]

Just remember the crash risk in ror classic

It's why I ask

[sullen linden]

I did not even know there was a crash risk with it in OG RoR

[mighty otter]

For sure they would not be that loyal to the original game.

[fickle prism]

Wdym?

[fickle prism]

Oh

[sullen linden]

https://riskofrainreturns.wiki.gg/wiki/Acrid
Primary that does less damage, but causes an extra damage taken debuff on enemies
Secondary that creates a bubble you can use to jump
Utility that creates a small patch of goop you can teleport to

[simple kernel]

I also saw this #risk-of-rain-returns message

[fickle prism]

Alt secondary: acid bubble
Alt shift: acid spit (re using the ability teleports you to the spits puddle)

And idk what the alt primary is

@edgy cipher ^

You can use the bubble as a platform. Lets u jump higher

[lethal bone]

how do get in here

[sullen linden]

Climb down the vine

[lethal bone]

ty so much i felt so dumb lol

[sullen linden]

Tbf, a lot of the secret//hidden passages are a lil' bit silly

[astral wigeon]

Stage 3 is the third teleporter right?

[eager harbor]

What does the Strange Battery do?

[sullen linden]

Secret stuff

But really: ||Can unlock a secret character||

[eager harbor]

ooo

No idea how do but whatevs

[silk widget]

what loadout set do people use for mercenary?

[woven folio]

How can you kill Prov boi while backflipping?

You can't actually shoot/use skills while flipping no?

[woven folio]

it's not that hard

[astral wigeon]

That doll equipment

[woven folio]

Took me 35 ish mn after searching it up

[woven folio]

the damage %5 self deal %500 one?

[astral wigeon]

I forget the name, sacrifice hp to deal damage yup

[hollow quail]

for anyone wondering about the golden chest in the final stage, here's how you get it without jumping from the bottom right:

[sullen linden]

Damn that's a long way around

[woven folio]

That's the only way tho? 💀

[astral wigeon]

I think...

[sullen linden]

There's also the other variant, which is entering it from the left through a secret entrance

[astral wigeon]

Pop it while you backflip

[silk widget]

its the only reliable way

you could get lucky with something like missle launcher killing him during the backflip frames. but thats super lucky

[eager harbor]

Please enlighten me 🥺

[woven folio]

I see, would've been could if sniper boi was able to shoot whilst backflipping

[foggy yew]

what are these two artifacts?

[silk widget]

it doesnt have to be his last "phase", its easiest to do on his first "phase"
edit: fixed wording

so you get 3 attempts per run

[astral wigeon]

I tried...

[sullen linden]

||Take the battery to the Equipment-transfer case below the Contact Light in the Final Stage, it only spawns on Drizzle||
|| Start another run on Rainstorm/Monsoon, pick up the Battery in the 2nd stage||
|| In the 3rd stage, activate the teleporter (To teleport to the next stage, not to start the fight), anywhere between 22:00 - 22:59 of the runtime||
|| In the 4th stage, find Robomando, generally hidden in a little cave you gotta get in to through a secret passage||

[foggy yew]

does the 4th stage need to be the lava one?

[sullen linden]

No, can be any 4th stage

[foggy yew]

fuck

Tempus: Items are temporary but worth multiple stacks

[foggy yew]

where do i find them?

[silk widget]

||the 4th stage step when you're looking for robomando, he will have a little arrow above where he is buried similar to drones||

[hollow quail]

Cognation - desolate forest special golem event
Tempus - get to stage 5 (high temple) quickly

[foggy yew]

i have no idea what any of those mean

[sullen linden]

Tempus disappears at the 16 min mark, specifically

[hollow quail]

use this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3081396588

[silk widget]

what survivor would you do this on?

[woven folio]

Oh so it's just any boss

[silk widget]

no, its providence. but any of his phases

sorry shouldve said "phases" not "stage"

[sullen linden]

I haven't managed to yet, though any you're comfortable with being quick with will be good

[woven folio]

That's still better than having one chance

One opportunity

To seize everything you've ever wanted

[silk widget]

im thinking either loader or miner. good mobility to find tele's quick and strong without items

[foggy yew]

this is a wacky room

[woven folio]

Killing Prov boi and Mitty almost feels bad. Can't really explain it but at least Prov seems like a nice guy. Are they canonically confirmed to not be baddies?

[sullen linden]

Eh, just 'cause someone's an antagonist doesn't make 'em a baddie

[silk widget]

just means they are opposed to the protag

[woven folio]

So in a way we're the bad guys

[sullen linden]

Going by the log for Providence and the Risk of Rain stage: "Maybe kinda, sorta", but moreso the survivors are caught up in some higher-tier corpo fuckery

[lime magnet]

For unlocking the drifer , do you have to do 6 in one run or just 6 in total?

[sullen linden]

And in the Providence - Mithrix stuff there's a whole lot more jank

[woven folio]

Good question, 6 in one run is the safe way tho. Just loop until you have robots, get the equipment which heals your robots so they don't die a lot and recycle em'

[tired estuary]

Is this the artifact of ||dissonance|| and if so, anyone know how to access it? the discord search function yields no fruit...

[pearl onyx]

One shard out of 4, yes. The entrance to that room is on its bottom right. You can faintly see a tunnel in the wall.

[tired estuary]

It's for sure 6 in one run, I've salvaged way more than 6 in total, but still haven't unlocked them

[tired estuary]

I am so blind, thank you

[shrewd finch]

You can also jump through the right wall to it I believe

[silk widget]

to add onto this. if you're going for this salvage every drone at the earliest opportunity as you dont know if your drones will survive until the next salvager

[tired estuary]

Well to add on even more, if you find the drone repair kit equipment, also take that.

[lime magnet]

theres an equipment that heals drones!

[lime magnet]

ahh okay thank you, i managed 4 in one run so time to go loop after work 🙂

[silk widget]

Ofc like most things you can cheese it if you have command on

[lime magnet]

im trying not to fall back to my ror2 days of cheesing it with that artifact haha

if im gonna suffer, ill suffer in skill

[spare ibex]

do you guys have any tips on exploring in stages? what's an optimal way to find chests? how long should i stay in one stage in monsoon diff?

[tardy swan]

I assume this means providenc, direseeker and acrid right?

[shrewd finch]

You can sac the drones from that equip

[summer falcon]

yes 👍

[shrewd finch]

Yup

[tardy swan]

good, just checking

[shrewd finch]

My run for the hunt took 2 hrs lmao

[tardy swan]

good thing I have extra stages turned off already this run

[bronze badge]

Which unlocks are best for pilot?

[tardy swan]

all of them I'd say

[bronze badge]

Better than the stock?

[cunning sedge]

I like all the alt skills

[tardy swan]

it's more of a "how do you want to play" deal

[faint basalt]

how many clovers u need to get at least 50% chance for item?

[cunning sedge]

Ror1 was about 70 clovers for 100% iirc, not sure about this game

[faint basalt]

Then its time to get 70 clovers and loop to get that stupid roll unlock

[cunning sedge]

Which unlock?

[faint basalt]

The kill final boss with roll(im using command artefact since i dont get dolls at all) and gonna try to god run for fun

[heavy jungle]

Should be 32 for 50.5%, 65 for 100%

if the stacking is additive

but I'm not sure it is

[faint basalt]

lets try it out then

[silk widget]

i like the default primary but mostly personal preferance

you can wave dash with his alt utility to sling shot all the way across the map

[whole viper]

if you get too many items, do the items just fuckin stop showin up on screen?

it doesnt like wrap around or anything

[rancid hare]

guys what items cause the game to crash when getting killed by ||robomando||?

[heavy jungle]

I've seen people say that Prophet's Cape and Happiest Mask caused crashes

Cape for sure, can't confirm for the mask

[molten notch]

Could anyone give a vague hint what's a secret event boss?

Does it mean like acrid or something else?

[honest plover]

||Acrid, Direseeker (Miner unlock boss), Providence counts as well||

[molten notch]

Are there others or do you need to just get lucky with stages?

[honest plover]

You can turn off new variants for a more consistent stage in order to find them

But yeah, there's more. I dunno where to find them though.

[molten notch]

Allright thanks!

[sturdy widget]

how do i enable auto jump

cant find it in the settings

[honest plover]

Should be in the accessibility settings if i recall

[sturdy widget]

thanks

[inland nimbus]

Sorry quick question but the alternative unlocks for the Survivors like get 300 items are intended for one run or the total number of items i get in various runs with that character ?

[mint pagoda]

if it means one run it'll generally state that

[sullen linden]

It's just overall, most of the alternate unlocks are more along the lines of "Just play this survivor a lot"

[thorn pier]

Can someone give me the stacking formula

I forgot how it's called

[weary cedar]

Are they going to add any type of horizontal aiming? I mean just as in if my mouse is one side and i click it would shoot there?

[thorn pier]

Yeah left and right with your mouse

[plush quarry]

Hey guys, how does this game perform on the switch? Im debating on picking it up, but not sure about it's switch performance

[sullen linden]

Well they're looking into it, no guarantees yet

[odd storm]

They're literally doing it for 1.3, it's already been said

[sullen linden]

Aight, neat. I'm only going by https://discord.com/channels/417739215355510784/1172636231616712754 that post which doesn't say "This will happen" explicitly

[wide swift]

Whats preferred loadout for sniper?

[sullen linden]

Like with any char: whichever you prefer, really

[honest plover]

the only wrong loadout is the one you lose with

[sullen linden]

Not even, the only wrong loadout is the one you don't enjoy playing with

[woven folio]

I'D say around 3-4-5 minutes in Monsoon, same as RoR2. Biggest tip I can give is changing the world scale from 2 to 1, hence you'll be able to see more of the map

And obviously if you see statues, chests near a teleporter make sure to leave em and explore for a bit, you'll have a lot of gold cause of the boss event anyway

[mild sun]

I can't find the sopt to get to miner

Im currently at the lowest part of the stage

Bottom right

And there's no entrance

[woven folio]

There are different variants for each map @mild sun

6 i presume, miner only spawns in one of them (the ||lower right entrance that leads to direseeker miniboss||)

You can turn off the new maps from options menu to increase your chances of getting the right map variant from 1/6 to 1/3

[wide swift]

Thats true but i typically like knowing the best loadout and going from there

[woven folio]

Even Sniper's 'Improvise' skill is pretty usefull

[wide swift]

Like for example is quickscope more consistent? Do you do alt primary as a way to deal with large clusters?

Like

[woven folio]

although it's a meme

[wide swift]

Its worth asking i think

[wide swift]

Ive found it useful

[woven folio]

I find quickscope better

[wide swift]

But idk if its worth using yk

[wide swift]

Ic

[woven folio]

Faster paced, can move better, backflip into quickscope looks sick

Also can adapt better imo

for aoe you already have gasoline and electric acoustic guitar

Also, what is a perfect reload for Sniper?

the pink or purple area?

or the middle part, trying to do that challenge

[honest plover]

The brighter one is the better reload

[wide swift]

Thought it was white

Yea

[woven folio]

aight aight

[wide swift]

Also is alt primary worth using for sniper? I find it better as a panic option but it dosent do much dmg

[woven folio]

It's a meme option

[honest plover]

It has it's uses but base primary just feels better to use

[woven folio]

I don't find it as good as the first option

Also what is a golden drone

A rare variant of any drone?

[honest plover]

Higher tier drones from the drone combiner I believe

[woven folio]

Time to loop I guess

😄

[warm lion]

yeah its this

equivalent to 9 normal level drones

[woven folio]

so combine up to 2 tiers

and it becomes golden

[warm lion]

yeah

[honest plover]

gonna be a long ride if you're unlucky. I looped like twice and could barely find any drones, nevermind 9 of the same type. And then you have to find the actual interactable as well

[woven folio]

A 3 hour loop should be enough

[warm lion]

have fun keeping drones alive for 2 hours

or having enough money to keep repairing them

[honest plover]

Not really a problem tbh.

Yeah, just repair when it breaks

[warm lion]

idk thats the issue i was having with it

[woven folio]

The repair kit

Is Acrid's 2nd Primary variant better than the 1st?

[zenith carbon]

char unlock question
||I have a battery for robomando but I got hive level, do I have to now loop until I get lava level??||

[warm lion]

i think its on both

i dont know where but ive seen people asking this question about both stages

[obsidian zinc]

I got him on hive so defo there as well

[woven folio]

On Hive Level || I found him at lower left side. There was a hidden vine on the ground leading to a small cave ||

[sullen linden]

||Use the 1x zoom and it should be decently easy to see 'im||

[raw terrace]

anyone knows if predatory instincts attack speed multiplies with syringe attack speed?

or just adds to it

[wild garden]

Anyone know if they're going to change certain loot things, like how I get 5 equipments every stage, or how I see 3 chance shrines every stage, I'm sure it's not just me who faces the difficulty curve simply because i get zero items and onl equipment plus chance shrines

[silk widget]

is random so i doubt it.
also, just seems like confirmationa bias

[wide swift]

Yea i got that and it carried me thru provi

[wild garden]

i'm pretty sure it's not random, isn't loot density and such based on certain variables or something, so you are basically guaranteed to get significantly fewer equipment barrels in ror2 and significantly more chests, simply feels like it's reversed in rorr

[wintry moth]

hey just wondering how long does a temporary item last for?\

[wide swift]

I think its 3 minutes?

Lemme check

[sullen linden]

That long? Feels like it'd be way shorter at base

[wide swift]

Oh not on the wiki

[silk widget]

well yeah, i more meant what you get within those vairables is random. but from ive seen its varied enough to appear random. again seems like confirmational bias that you remember when youve had worse rng

[wide swift]

Maybe 2?

Def not 1 minute

[silk widget]

depends on the source

[wide swift]

That too

[silk widget]

iirc chef items are much shorter

[wild garden]

no this is literally every run for me my man, same with my friends who also played, it seems to be consistently higher equipment chances, feel almost like it's bugged but yeah i'm probably just picking at straws here xD

[wintry moth]

thanks

[wide swift]

Yea bc theyre like

Nothing items

P sure theyre 1 minute

Drifters are 2, same with vendors

But then duplicator items are 3 mins

[sullen linden]

Huh, now I wonder if Substandard Duplicator also applies to Chef's items

[silk widget]

among the 1000s of players this is still anecdotal

unlucky rng is just unlucky rng 🤷‍♂️

[wide swift]

It does

It makes them last 2 minutes

[wild garden]

suppose I (and many others) just have INSANELY bad rng then :P:P

[wide swift]

Because it adds a minute

[sullen linden]

Nice, but isn't it +20 sec / Substandard Duplicator?

[wide swift]

Wait is it?

I thought it was + 60

I might b wrong

[sullen linden]

https://riskofrainreturns.wiki.gg/wiki/Substandard_Duplicator
I was wrong too, it's 10 even

[wide swift]

WHAT

so thats where i got the 1 from

Damn

[woven folio]

I'm pretty sure it took me 5 seconds to kill acrid as HAN-D, yet i didn't get the ach

Do you have to kill Acrid as Acrid?

[wide swift]

U need to play as acrid yea

[woven folio]

ah

[wide swift]

For all character achievments u gotta play as said character

Oh btw

That primary is BUSTED

[woven folio]

the second variant?

[wide swift]

It makes all other sources of damage do more damage

[wide swift]

Yea

[woven folio]

damn

Prob my least fav character

[wide swift]

It essentially just adds symbiotic scorpion debuff each hit

[woven folio]

Guess have to do a run with it

[wide swift]

I go all alt acrid except i switch the secondary sometimes

[wide swift]

U rly do

Do u have the other alts for him?

[woven folio]

also do drones from Arms Race green item and Drone Repair Kit eqipment count for merging the Golden Drone?

[silk widget]

show me a recording of three runs back to back where you hit 45 equipment chest across 3 stages per run and i might start to believe you

[woven folio]

yup

[silk widget]

othewise 🤷‍♂️ stop blaming the beasts

[wide swift]

I love the alt utility

Its so convenient for looting

I wanna play more acrid but im tryna do prebuff artificer atm 😭

Why did they make tectonice surge a 10 SECOND COOLDOWN

[silk widget]

wait, it stacks?

[wide swift]

what were they thinking

[wide swift]

YWA

[sullen linden]

Oooooh, that makes that shit a whole lot more dangerous

[wide swift]

10% extra damage from all outside sources for each stack

Ive gotten up to like 5 i think on the average enemy

[sullen linden]

Time to kill Acrid as Acrid then, ig

[wide swift]

Which is ab all u need tbh

[woven folio]

I hate artificer's primary

Feels pretty useless

[hard sorrel]

What content can you unlock that doesn't have achievements linked to it

[woven folio]

and you don't even ahve an alt version for it

[wide swift]

Thats bc it is 😭

[sullen linden]

Skins, ||Secret character||, and that's about it, I think?

[woven folio]

Weird, pretty sure I passed first 3 stages w/o my life going below %60 and still didn't get the HAN-D ach

[silk widget]

i think the skins have achievements too

[woven folio]

also any idea about this?

[wide swift]

MANDO

i love that guy

He needs a charactet emote we need proper representation

He was also my first win LOL

[silk widget]

wtf lmao

[wide swift]

I was playing with my friend who essentially did like 90% of the damage

[sullen linden]

Not all of them, I think? Like most prism ones don't

[wide swift]

I had 200k he had 900k 😭

[silk widget]

taking part counts

who were they playing?

[wide swift]

I got a golden drone tho

[wide swift]

Drifter

[sullen linden]

ggez, Drifter is stronk

[silk widget]

did you just hack everything and give them items?

[wide swift]

I only hack my items and not his

Because he can afford it 🙄

[silk widget]

rmando's damage kinda sucks

w/out items

[wide swift]

besides i was essentially useless until i got drones

Even with items he does nothing

He NEEDS drones

[sullen linden]

His whole thing is definitely "Be support for your buddies", and that's fine

[wide swift]

Thats what the entire run is dependent on

[wide swift]

Yea he defined can play support

He surprisingly balanced

Because hes useless besides FREE ITEMS

[silk widget]

what utility skill do people like most on drifter?

[wide swift]

Oh beyblade easily

[silk widget]

i cant decide which to use half the time

[wide swift]

Beyblade is good damage and good movement and drifter needs the movement

[silk widget]

ive been running p1 s2 u2 s1

[wide swift]

I go all alt personally

Recycling is an INSANELY versatile tool

If u get a bad item thats just a chance to get a good one

Like one time i got permafrost but i recycled it and got the substandard duplicator

Biggest save of my life tbh

I lost on stage for provi tho

[crystal girder]

Does switch Returns have wireless local play? Need to know before my friend buys

[delicate pasture]

what stages does the ancient wisp spawn on?

[brazen minnow]

Guys, spoil me. What secrets are there at the UES ship?

[cloud hawk]

any mods yet?

[wanton moon]

i believe its just online or local same console

[wanton moon]

no, no mod support

[cloud hawk]

zangit

[wanton moon]

HAN-D, logbooks, some dancing golems below the bridge if you get over it, with a special intractable. thas all I know

[wanton moon]

damp caverns and sky meadow I think? anywhere the ancient wisp can I believe

maybe temple of the elders too

[delicate pasture]

thanks

[wanton moon]

theyre just bigger wisps so probably places wisps spawn

[brazen minnow]

Thanks, how do I get 4 keycards? I've only found 1

[wanton moon]

keycards can be found in golden barrels, and if you dont get them from barrels they just drop from enemies at random

kinda gotta be lucky

[brazen minnow]

I see, thank you!

[sullen linden]

2 logs, 2 prism shards, HAN-D, Dancing bots, kinda the equipment pass-on chest

[brazen minnow]

Prism shards?

Equipment pass-on??

What language are you speaking

[sullen linden]

Pick ups that unlock extra skins, only available if you've unlocked the character the specific shard is for

[sullen linden]

The one of secrets

[sullen linden]

Basically allows you to pass on an equipment to a next run, is required to be used for another secret

[brazen minnow]

wat

[brazen minnow]

HOW

And what secret is it used for?

[sullen linden]

#game-questions-returns message

[brazen minnow]

Interesting, I'm only missing robomando so I'm not worried. How would I find a prism shard? Are they in specific spots? (If so I'll just search for a guide)

[brazen minnow]

🫡

[sullen linden]

Yeah, they're in specific spots on specific map variants

[brazen minnow]

Aw man I don't have the battery :(
I literally found the pot but couldn't jump over to it

FUCK

Also if I die after picking up the battery in the second run, would I have to find another battery and put it in the chest again?

[sullen linden]

Yes

Also can't do it with the Prophet's Cloack equipped

[mild sun]

So I don't have a clip of this but the game lagged on a run while I was grabbing a ukulele in the command menu and it duplicated the item to 425 on my playstation and I wanna know if there's a real way to do that silly thing again

[brazen minnow]

Damn, alright

Thanks for the help!

[mild sun]

Bugs are my version of mods

[golden seal]

what does the umbrella item do?

[tight glade]

starts raining on teleporter buffs you and debuffs enemies also hitting them for 15 sec

[golden seal]

oh nice thanks

[sonic stag]

How to complete challenge with HAN-D?
The one which requires to beat the third stage without falling below 60% health

Or does it mean that I have to complete it being above 60% from the start till the third stage?

[warm lion]

You have to be above 60% for the whole time until you clear stage 3

The easiest trick for it is artifact of glass

[toxic jolt]

Where can I find the option for toggling the new aiming thing that came out in the last patch or so?

Thus far I have search around in the control settings but have yet to see anything that looks like it works do that

[heavy jungle]

it's not out yet

[toxic jolt]

Oh? I thought it was lol

[woven folio]

Got lucky and obtained ze golden drone after 1 hour

[toxic jolt]

Will it be in the next update or something?

[hoary salmon]

can you rebind keys to to mouse buttons in the remake?

[heavy jungle]

we don't really know, devs just said they'd be implementing it but no timeline was given I think

[toxic jolt]

Yes

[heavy jungle]

yeah, you can play with RoR2 bindings

[hoary salmon]

not ror2, in risk of rain returns

[toxic jolt]

Yeah that’s what they meant

[hoary salmon]

oh lmao i just realized that

my bad

[cloud hawk]

lol, they meant you can have ror2 bindings in rorr

[hoary salmon]

thanks guys 👍

[toxic jolt]

I see, well I hope for it soon cause it should make it much nicer for me to play with mouse

[faint basalt]

where do i see my lvl for the miner unlock?(10 lvls without hit)

[sullen linden]

It's on the UI on the bottom, slightly on the left of it

[real shell]

Should I prioritize unlocking good items before trying to do monsoon runs?

[sullen linden]

Eh, you might still not get 'em

I'd argue that being good at Monsoon'll be more important than the items

[feral wigeon]

Is return a remaster/better game then 1 ? I wanna try them and don’t know where to start ( I played only 2 btw ) so don’t know what to expect

[sullen linden]

(I am highly biased)
As far as I'm concerned it's everything I want in a remaster. It takes all I loved about 1 and just made it better, expanded on it, and added more

[river junco]

Objectively yes. You can choose to play Returns with modern or classic mechanics, thus making it a better optimized experience at the very least.

[feral wigeon]

Ok thank you:]

[untold moat]

hey do you guys know where i can find some good builds ?

i started the game with my friend yesterday, i played risk of rain 2 a little bit so i have a tiny bit of knowledge but yeah

oh and what's the best method to play with mods ? would be cool to have some useful mods

[thorn pier]

So someone has the formula for item stacking ? Like hermits cape stacking percentage

[shrewd finch]

no mods currently

[untold moat]

ohh alright

[shrewd finch]

item meta etc is different, it's a fundamentally different game

a lot of items that will be shit in 2 are fine here

the item log tells you 90% of how items work

a couple have things not mentioned

[wide wing]

prioritize what attributes your missing out on at multi shops

That is about the extent you can build in this game

Within your control

[wild garden]

anyone know the best way to kill providence while backflipping as sniper? I tried charging 2 then backflipping while relaesing, which delays it and kills him but it doesn;t work, please don't tell me i have to kill him with fire or something while backflipping

[vocal iris]

does anyone have a good Zoom setting to give you the ror1 feel? is it just 1X?

[last iron]

yo do clovers affect monster log drops like ROR2? or is it the same as ROR1

[late chasm]

is artifact of spirit in every temple variant

or just 123

[tough thicket]

clovers don't affect luck in ror1 or returns, just the elites dropping items thing

[late chasm]

they're different clovers anyways

[silk widget]

lost doll

[silk widget]

and you can do it on any of his phases so you get multiple attempts per run

[loud jackal]

Silly question I know, but when playing online coop is it still split screen like local or does each person have their own?

[silk widget]

own screen.

[loud jackal]

Swag, thank you!

[tough thicket]

i had a shitload of drones with a bunch of arms races; fired a disposable missile launcher then backflipped as they reached him
also it counts beating his first and third phases too, not just the final one

[silk widget]

lost doll is much more reliable as the damage happens the instant you activate your equipment, there is no trying to time your backflip with the missles

[tough thicket]

i guess, i did it with glass on so lost doll did like nothing

[silk widget]

get him low, stand next to him, tap backflip > equipment straight after one another

[rapid saddle]

where's the item for the 'pre-alpha' achievement?

[inland minnow]

rorr is running REALLY slow when playing with remote play

any idea how to fix that?

[vagrant sapphire]

anyone have tips on unlocking engineer's laser turret

[sturdy widget]

when it says miner's abilities cost heat, does that only apply to the scortch mode

[silk widget]

if the only thing that is changing is using remote play its probably an internet issue
also, probably start a thread in rorr-feedback

[zinc egret]

Far as I know, the Special only costs heat while scorching, and holding down the Secondary skill consumes heat regardless if you're scorching or not

[vagrant sapphire]

both modes, but some skills cost heat only when in scorching (shotgun shoes)

[keen wave]

do items have hard caps like they did in ror1 ex. soldier syringe having a cap of 13

[zinc egret]

Is clover's effect global like in the first game or is it per player now?

[compact dawn]

All on kills are per player now, kinda sad cuz global was charming and nice

[molten notch]

on miner the get level 10 without getting hurt more than once, does guardians heart count? at least in 2 if you had shield or barrier no hit challenges still counted

[warm lion]

A few people in here have said this doesnt work for the mando one

So probably no

[bold totem]

Does backup mag do anything on Steady Aim

[proud summit]

How does robocommando work in coop

[fringe geode]

Sometimes sniper's Steady Aim just fires fully charged way earlier than it should, does anyone know why or what causes it?

[proud summit]

With the fact he gets free chests

[fringe geode]

What do you mean? He just opens them like not in coop?

[proud summit]

Thought there’d be a limit cos doesn’t that mean he can get all chests to himself 💀

[pastel terrace]

hello

anyone know how i can get miner?

[fringe geode]

I mean if you're not a good friend yeah lol.

[pastel terrace]

i've been to the barracks at least 15 times and yet i haven't found him

[lunar mango]

You can use the force item limit if that's a problem

[viscid elbow]

quickscope or steady aim for sniper, which is better overall?

[proud summit]

Specific variant

[novel crane]

One of the variants of ||desolate forest||

[pastel terrace]

so i just absolutely unlucky

[vagrant sapphire]

yeah as long as youre lookin in the right place

[pastel terrace]

bottom right of the map yeah?

[vagrant sapphire]

yup i guess its bad luck

[pastel terrace]

great

love this game

[sullen linden]

Gives you more charges

[vagrant sapphire]

yeah the unlocks in this game are too luck dependent

[pastel terrace]

really?

[bold totem]

Sure doesnt feel like it

[pastel terrace]

i unlocked almost all survivors in the first 12 hours of gameplay

but miner's just running from me

also i suck

so i dont really get that strong to just explore the stages

[sullen linden]

Tbf, there's a delicate balance to exploration/item gathering and getting through stages to keep up with the ramp-up of difficulty

[vagrant sapphire]

is loader trans or was the gender retconned

[graceful moon]

The survivors from RoR1 aren't the same as the ones in RoR2

[sullen linden]

Different Loaders

(and all other survivors)

[graceful moon]

except for (maybe?) acrid

[pastel terrace]

too hard, gotta play drizzle for 100 hours

[vagrant sapphire]

so engineer is NOT the same grape?

[sullen linden]

Myep, Huntress is not the same Huntress, Mando's not the same Mando, etc

[warm lion]

Acrid is still the same guy though right

[sullen linden]

Sure, but it be though

[nova idol]

2 questions, is there any reward for beating the game in monsoon with each character? also what are prismatic shards?

[pastel terrace]

i mean he got caught in the void

[sullen linden]

1. Only for Merc
2. Unlocks for extra skins

[nova idol]

but how do you get prismatic shards

[green ember]

Oh that's how you get extra skins

[pastel terrace]

whats the reward for merc?

[pastel terrace]

find them in the stages

[honest light]

They're hidden in the map

[nova idol]

that and beating judgement

[honest light]

Really well hidden

[green ember]

Judgement?

[nova idol]

final trial

[green ember]

Ah

[honest light]

Final provi trial

[shrewd finch]

aghanims scepter

ancient scepter

think it's aghanim idfk

it upgrades your 4th ability

[sullen linden]

Ancient Scepter unlocks

[nova idol]

do you have to get the specific shard with the specific character or can you get it with any character

[shrewd finch]

btw for ||robomando|| it makes it so you get a 20% chance for double

[keen wave]

its bugged and uses all charges at once

[shrewd finch]

any

but have to have the char unlocked

[nova idol]

ty

[shrewd finch]

the area at the bottom of the final stage I feel is usually the first viewing of them and is for merc

[honest light]

I think only the contact light one is like that

[pastel terrace]

robomando is too cute

[shrewd finch]

it isn't

it's just that you didn't have merc unlocked

[honest light]

Oh nvm

[shrewd finch]

also there's 2 on contact light

[honest light]

You just need to have the character

[honest light]

True

[nova idol]

oh also

do you guys prefer slice or dice

[honest light]

Most people prefer slice

[nova idol]

thats surprising

[shrewd finch]

I thought it was the other way around

[nova idol]

only tried slice in the trial but dice feels better

[split zealot]

Can I throw backup drones in the scrapper for the drifter unlock?

Kinda like the one from repair kit

[bold totem]

Not sure about backup but the other drone equip does work

[keen wave]

repair kit yes

and also the one from arms race

[brazen minnow]

guys if I die while having the strange battery on the second step (take the battery from the chest and reach stage 3 at exactly 22 min), will I have to take the battery to the chest again or can I just retry without having to do that again

[split zealot]

you need to do it again

[brazen minnow]

FUCK

[sturdy widget]

is there a reward for getting crowns on all the trials

[brazen minnow]

Not all the trials, only for getting 5 and 15 trials

[split zealot]

also you need to hit the stage 3 telly exit at 22 minutes, not enter stage 3

[brazen minnow]

5 gold trials is an item, 15 is an artifact

[brazen minnow]

Yup, but man it pisses me off I gotta do step 1 all over again. Btw do I just have to take the battery to the chest or do I need to put it in and win

[split zealot]

Just take it to the chest

[brazen minnow]

Oh nice

I'll speedrun that then

[nova idol]

is the right ingredients bugged? i killed enemies instead of cooking them and i still got points

also got no penalties for deaths

[opaque tinsel]

anyone knows how to get this log? it's desolate forest... I think it's variant #6?

[sullen linden]

Well, there's a vine coming in from above, so might wanna have a look at how you get in that other small room

Also how do you get that lil' UI above your character?

[opaque tinsel]

lol the monsters helped me

here's the path lmao

[nova idol]

options, controls, accesibility

how do you get the keycard in highway robbery?

[graceful moon]

Open the golden canister

[grizzled cairn]

Does engineer get any other skins than the judgement one

[north bridge]

how do I zoom out the screen when looking at the trials ?

[vagrant sapphire]

any tips on getting engineers beam turret? or is it all just luck with no way of increasing it

[warm lion]

Theres a guaranteed one on contact light

[sullen linden]

It's in the general options, I think

[vagrant sapphire]

thats the little beam drone right? id have to get 2 more and fuse them?

[warm lion]

Nah its the big one

[vagrant sapphire]

does it spawn in a set location

[warm lion]

It can be in funky places

Yeah it doesnt

Its pretty big though so just go to 1x zoom and full clear

[vagrant sapphire]

is artifact of scrifice like ror2 where it can increase drone spawns

[warm lion]

Im not sure

I havent seen too many with sac though

I have seen quite a few of the machines to merge them though so maybe it increases that

[grizzled cairn]

I've seen roughly the same amount of drones with or without sacrifice

[crimson portal]

Best loadout for loader and pilot?

[woven folio]

Where was the entrance for Gold Chest in final level?

[sullen linden]

Think it depends on the variant, but one of 'em is to the right of it, on the inside of the ship, and the other is up to the left through a hidden passage up above several containers and some more shit

[molten notch]

would it be feasible to get level 10 on the first stage before tp event?

[boreal plume]

Hey guys, not sure where to ask this but is there any talk of anyone starting to work on a modloader/mod options for RoRR? I'm a software engineer looking to help out but haven't seen anything so far

[native dew]

Is there a timeline on the directional aim/unlocking items w/o Providence trials update?

[timid badger]

They’re working on it; it’s gonna be a few months

[boreal plume]

Who's they

[sullen linden]

Devs

[boreal plume]

Is hopoo doing official support?

Oh damn nice

[woven folio]

Was a ladder inside one of the upper containers 💀

[sullen linden]

See, told you 😛

[woven folio]

Pilot is a better commando, change my mind

[sullen linden]

Honestly, if not for the 4th ability, I'd agree with ya

[spark sonnet]

why i have an issue with opening the secret char?

[sullen linden]

Did your buddy have Prophet's Cloack?

[woven folio]

ROBOMANDO secret passive? Crashes your game so can't be unlocked

[woven folio]

oh yeah that item also crashes it

[sage iron]

What do the white shirts do

[woven folio]

Wait how do you unlock Prophet's cloak?

[sullen linden]

Dodge 7 lethal attacks as commando

So just use Glass, and dodge a bit 😛

[woven folio]

It says 2 STR on it

[sage iron]

what does that mean

you do 2 more damage?

[woven folio]

no idea

Increases armor by 3

yeah +3 armo

you get it for free so not bad

[woven folio]

Guess it was already 6/7, dodged once and got it 😄

[sullen linden]

Nice

[trail flax]

My game keeps crashing when letting robomando kill me

[sullen linden]

Do you have Prophet's Cloack when he does?

[trail flax]

No

I had drones though

[molten notch]

do enemies give the same xp on all difficulties?

[sullen linden]

Hm, I'm personally only aware of Prophet's Cloack being a crash factor, but there might be more

[dapper compass]

whats the rainbow glowing outline in the last stage? it does nothing when i try to interact with it

[fallen bone]

You have to unlock something first

Then you can interact with it

[dapper compass]

oh okay

welp i spent like 20 minutes getting to it ig thats a thing to remember

also there was an opened chest which just took my equipment whats that about

[sullen linden]

It'll turn up in your next run on stage 2

[dapper compass]

oh thats cool

[stuck kindle]

I know that chest has another special purpose but, I think you should be able to put any of your items into it

give it a more long lasting strategic use

saving an equipment is pretty useless

[bleak adder]

equips in this game are really good overall, so you can usually use equipments you get naturally in a run just fine

[fickle prism]

What do yall think the hardest trial is?

[sinful ledge]

what skills are best on chef?

[rough mortar]

Are there any plans to make the game cross platform?

[half acorn]

Does this unlock by not collecting items for every preceding stage? Or just not picking them up once you reach third stage

[warm lion]

Not picking them up for all 3

[sullen linden]

Not collecting any items 'till you beat the 3rd stage

[crimson portal]

Best loader and pilot loadouts?

[opaque totem]

hi, i found a room in magma barrack up to the right very far from any platform with a Full armored Lemurian statue

does anybody knows if it is part of a secret or something? i didnt find something to interact

oh to get to the room you have to pass throw a hidden tunnel in the wall

[sinful ledge]

you need a lot of double jumps to get higher

[brazen minnow]

Yo guys, are there items that increase skill durations?

[sinful ledge]

also you should get miner after defeating the lemurian

[sinful ledge]

not at the current state

[brazen minnow]

Damn

Loader's Pylons are useless then

Alt ult is way better

[warm lion]

The gigantic amethyst functionally increases duration because you just do it again

[placid turret]

Would you guys says it's easier to beat Providence immediatly after the fifth stage or after some looping?

From my own past experience in the old version looping could make you OP enough to steamroll him but its so easy to die during a looped stage though.

[woven folio]

Found it yesterday as well. It seems to have no purpose tho

[woven folio]

Looping is easier but takes time

Rushing it with a 4-5 mn per stage is good enough

[brazen minnow]

I'd say if you're REALLY looking to win, go for Prov right away, otherwise you could just risk it and loop

[woven folio]

you get a lot of items at ship level

[placid turret]

Facts, learned that lesson just now too

[bleak adder]

i'm pretty sure that's the location of one of the ||prisms you get to unlock secret skins, with that one specifically being for huntress||

is it right here?

[cold stump]

what do I exactly need to do to unlock huntress' alt primary?

[sour valve]

do you seriously have to wait until exactly 22 minutes..? wtf lol

[bleak adder]

i've heard that you need to kill acrid in sunken tomb, direseeker in the barracks, and providence

i've also heard that the imps from artifact of origin count, but i have no clue about that one

[bleak adder]

iirc it's between 22 and 23 minutes, but i'd hit it at exactly 22 just to be safe

[opaque totem]

no, its in another version of magma barracks. i have a screenshot but i cant paste it here

[bleak adder]

ooh

[oak kernel]

Providence, acrid, miner

[bleak adder]

huh

[opaque totem]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/494692183480336395/1174071241028677703/image.png?ex=6566420d&is=6553cd0d&hm=b88be69bb38f2d90bbcb6dffdfa5be650fe4e10831a9d814bf8025b34c64961a&

hmmm

[bleak adder]

you need a role for stuff to embed i believe
#roles

[opaque totem]

there

thanks

[hard quarry]

anyone able to inform me on how to turn on the big teleporters? (preferably without telling me what they do)

[bleak adder]

huh

[faint basalt]

ones that u have most fun in

[opaque totem]

you have to interact with a few buttons generally

[tropic flare]

if you're talking about what I think you are, the thing they're for is usually activated by hitting buttons in secret areas. sometimes you have to be fast to press them all before they reset

[bleak adder]

the criteria is different for each one, for example if you see one in damp caverns you need to hit a button off to the right of it that's hard to get to

[tropic flare]

it'll make a sound when you've activated it

[bleak adder]

there's also some that come pre-activated, and for those you usually have to do some platforming to reach them

[hard quarry]

ah i see

thank u :)

[north reef]

anybody got any tips for magma worm or do i just have to get good

[tropic flare]

jump

[bleak adder]

magma worms only hit you if you're on the ground where they emerge from and land

[tropic flare]

also you can hit each individual segment for a lot of damage

[bleak adder]

or if you're in that area

and yeah, each segment of the magma worm has its own hitbox, so piercing attacks in the right spot do a shitload of damage to them

[tropic flare]

landing a HAN-D hammer or sniper shot through a bunch is so satisfying

[mellow sable]

are there dedicated servers for this game?

[north reef]

oh that's actually very easy to deal with then

i just need to jump
