[royal sun]

very good for melee characters

[grave axle]

very nice thank you

[royal sun]

i am thinking of the status given by the toxin item right?

[mild sun]

Why is the sniper description written in french in the spanish translation?

[astral wigeon]

Some say French is the best descripter for the Spanish

[arctic gulch]

does fall damage count as being hurt for the mace replica challenge?

[harsh furnace]

Yes, it's damage

[arctic gulch]

fuck me i guess

[grave axle]

correct

[arctic gulch]

its horribly annoying that you cant cancel out of the command menu

[harsh furnace]

Yea, a retry button would be nice. It's not a good game design to not have it.

[arctic gulch]

going through command menu on switch is painful, as it doesnt pause the game

during the time you can go to the bottom right an enemy can spawn and hit you

[harsh furnace]

I understand the worry about players accidentally pressing it, but for that you just remove/disable the button past a certain time landmark, like 8 minutes

[harsh furnace]

ouch

[arctic gulch]

funnily enough, you can jump while in the menu

but nothing else

god i hate this challenge

its so stupidly hard and unfun

god damnit swarm boss fight fun

[tight girder]

tbf i'm pretty sure it was the same way in ror1

[burnt gate]

which characters are good for monsoon?

[arctic gulch]

all except artificer

[sterile cypress]

my first monsoon win was with base kit Han-D

[arctic gulch]

i did merc first for the unlock

[burnt gate]

so every character is equally as good for monsoon except artificer?

[sterile cypress]

not equally good but most of them can do good

[burnt gate]

i see

[lyric vault]

Hello

I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue, but my character profiles aren't saving like, alt ability / unitily presets and just flash themselves as "new" every time on game launch like I had just unlocked them

[wide swift]

Every character is capable some are just harder to make work

[deft urchin]

Is there any difference between the chance shrine and the 3 rocks shrine?

Or they are just different cosmetic for the same interactable

[hollow kraken]

Does anyone know how damage scaling works with the hit list? Wiki just says "increases damage by 0.5." and idk what that means.

[wide swift]

Cosmetic

[wide swift]

Multiplied

By 0.5x

Or

Increased?

[hollow kraken]

That's kinda insane then?

[wide swift]

Its like

0.5 could just be 50%

[hollow kraken]

There's no way it increases damage by 50 percent for every kill

That'd be broken

[zenith garden]

it increases the characters base damage

[frozen violet]

it probably just adds to your base damage

[hollow kraken]

Ohhhh

Ok thx

[frozen violet]

for characters with fast attack speed it sounds really good

[zenith garden]

all damage you deal is scaled around the base damage so everyone likes it

[hollow kraken]

Especially good on sniper tho

[frozen violet]

yeah it seems most characters start with 12 base damage

so +20 from hit list seems very good

[wide swift]

Sniper was my second win

I got the backflip achievment on that win as well and omg

The alt is SOOO BAD

[willow sequoia]

is there an artifact of swarms?

[frozen violet]

no

[willow sequoia]

sadge

[hollow kraken]

No kidding

[frozen violet]

there are so few characters where I think their alt ability is better

[wide swift]

Nah

All alt mando is better

[frozen violet]

really ? combat knife ?

[wide swift]

Alt (besides primary) huntress is better

[hollow kraken]

I like alt huntress a lot

[wide swift]

It applies a major debuff??

[hollow kraken]

My first win was alt huntress

[wide swift]

Like that debuff shreds

[frozen violet]

yeah but the default one is great piercing damage

[wide swift]

Not rly

Its like

OK

and theb

All alt bandit is better no question

I like default enforcer

Uhhh

[frozen violet]

I'd like to try whip bandit yeah but the other ones are staying on default

[wide swift]

All alt drifter is better

[wide swift]

Lights out is like

[hollow kraken]

I like lights out + flashbang

[wide swift]

Objectively worse

In both games

[hollow kraken]

Coat the screen in smoke

[frozen violet]

if the alt was the stacking special I would take it no question

[wide swift]

It is?????

[frozen violet]

no like stacks that last the entire level

not just 15 seconds

[wide swift]

Kill more things lol

The timer resets

Now it just actually takes skill 😭

And flashbang is better easily

Shredding the boss stress free is crazy

[frozen violet]

I just did bandit's judgement and I did feel like I needed some better crowd control

[wide swift]

I prefer mostly default pilot but wavedash is better

Uhhhh i like alt acrid

But u could go either way imo

[frozen violet]

there's no shot

[wide swift]

All his abilities r good

[frozen violet]

my man is blowing bubbles

[wide swift]

That deal 600% damage when they pop whats ur point 😭

Apply some alt primary stacks and it does so mucj

[frozen violet]

the bubble to me was literally just a trial gimmick and that's it

[wide swift]

It deals better damage

And puddle is better tbh

As well

I like the movement

[frozen violet]

only when it pops so you have to hope enemies are there when it does

like you can proc it against a colossus or smth but not a worm or an overlord

[deft urchin]

Do we know the exact numbers of Chef's cook items

[wide swift]

Its 4 i think lemme check

[frozen violet]

do you mean the odds of getting each one ?

[wide swift]

5

[zenith garden]

all we know is what game says atm

[wide swift]

U can move it

By hitting it

I hit worms pretty consistently

Thats just me tho

[frozen violet]

cuz I'd rather move bubbles with my attacks than hit enemies

I mean my point is that neurotoxin is more consistent

and less jank, you just spit the thing and you do the damage, no questions asked

[wide swift]

Yea like

A 3rd

• bubbles poisons and slows

[frozen violet]

I was looking at the game files to see if there was like an "items" file and I just found the robomando credits theme, I don't know why I didn't check before lmao

[wide swift]

OH YEA ALSO full alt merc ive HEARD is better

I wouldnt know tho

[frozen violet]

the parry seems cool at the start but I don't know how viable it is lategame

when you're swarmed by everything on the planet

[steel ember]

It gets pretty easy to use at that point since you can just click it and something is bound to hit you

[bleak adder]

the parry is cracked because every enemy attacks predictably

the monsoon win was free with parry and backup mags

if you fuck it up, the weak attack still stuns enemies around you so you can get out

[spare reef]

Does the game scales past the maximum difficulty? I mean like in ror2 where they also scale until lvl99

[scarlet ember]

What's the difference between invulnerable and invincible

[steel ember]

It still does pretty decent damage too

[placid cove]

Does the battery only spawn in stage 5 variant 4?

I have done like 7 runs and I am not getting the right variant and I am getting tired or redoing it

[spare reef]

Are you talking about the ||secret survivor|| ?

[placid cove]

The battery itself

[pearl onyx]

It spawns in any variant of temple of the elders. For some, you might need high vertical mobility to reach.

[wide swift]

Love that guy

First win of 3

[slow shuttle]

what are the easiest trials to golden because ||i want prestige arti||

[strong idol]

the bandit gold collecting one

where you unlock the smoke bomb

[pearl onyx]

I found the ones that don't involve any combat are easiest, as they usually don't have much rng and you can keep practicing until you get gold.

[placid cove]

Thank you, I wasn't aware of that

[strong idol]

that being said the first trial, for commando's knife is easy

[wide swift]

Do u guys think theyll eventually do mastery skins?

[prime jungle]

How the FUCK do I use HAN-D's other drones without dying on Monsoon

The Heal Drones are literally the only reason why I can stay alive

[spare reef]

5 stage, not 4

Every variant, only on drizzle

There's a guide in #theorycrafting

[wide swift]

Survive betterlol

[supple radish]

is there a golden chest on every variant of the lemurian temple stage?

[pearl onyx]

No, only in two of them as far as I know

[mild sun]

Do the dissonance shards spawn on original stage variants?

[grave axle]

any tips on getting the 8 elder lemurians miner challenge?

[pearl onyx]

They appear only on the new returns variants as far as I'm aware.

[mild sun]

Dammit

[pearl onyx]

Use alt utility to extend scorching status (you can use it immediately after a dash to avoid self damage), maybe use kin so only elder lemurians spawn.

[grave axle]

keeping scorch up ain't an issue, it's finding 8 elder lemurians lol

[mild sun]

Maybe kin?

[fading jewel]

You have to be really lucky to get elder lemurians so thats not that likely unless you're really lucky

[candid bronze]

anybody have any tips on fighting cremator?

[deft urchin]

Does having 10 hermit scarf essentially make you invincible?

[mild sun]

If you are melee, you pray

[mild sun]

It's probably diminishing returns

[deft urchin]

It says +10% per stack is it additive or not

[mild sun]

They don't specify, but a few items are like that
RoR2's equivalent to the scarf has diminishing returns

[deft urchin]

I wish there was a better explaination in the item descriptions

[candid bronze]

oh no

[grave axle]

does taking fall damage ruin any of the "don't get hit" challenges? I'm currently working on huntress and the ancient wisp

[mild sun]

Jokes aside, you have to pay attention to his sprites
Once he attacks, it's safe to hit them a bit, then you run away

[warm lion]

I believe so

[candid bronze]

ok thanks

[grave axle]

[pearl onyx]

It takes reduced damage from the back. Preferably hit its face.

[candid bronze]

luckily it was quite easy

i just jumped and spammed abilities lol

[lilac rapids]

does anyone know if theres a chance we get a playstation port or something eventually

i dont wanna dig out my switch lmao

[mild sun]

No news regarding this so far
They said if they have anything to share, they will share the info as soon as they can

[lilac rapids]

ah cool

[mild sun]

So yeah, maybe it's time to dig out the Switch

[grave axle]

IT DOES NOT LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

or at least in the case of the ancient wisp. I think the prompt is only relevant during the boss fight

[deft urchin]

How do you complete the chef challenge that requires to have more than 20 knives out?

[steady marsh]

No

[steady marsh]

Scarf uses the same scaling as ror2 tougher times

Most items however are just linear

[pearl onyx]

Use amethyst to use second helping cleaver twice

[steady marsh]

Chef special into meele twice o guess, cdr or amathyst, ig attack speed if u really want but amathyst command seems fastest

[deft urchin]

Thanks

[warm lion]

Oh shit so it is hyperbolic then

Good to know thanks for figuring that one out

[steady marsh]

I mean it wasn't as much figuring it out as much as it was asking a dev lol

[warm lion]

Ah

I say that still qualifies

[oblique void]

Ancient scepter guarantees it

Get that and use the amplifier with the cleavers and you’ll get it

[deft urchin]

Amethyst and scepter are items I've yet to unlock

[oblique void]

..💀💀

Good luck then

[deft urchin]

There's no place to see full unzoomed pictures of stages right?

Even on a website

[grave axle]

I did it with command. Grab the substandard duplicator when possible and just stack loads of syringes. I think you can get it around 18-20 syringes while using the cleaver special

[pearl onyx]

Then stack crit with attack speed and get a wicked ring. You can almost even use three second helping cleavers by the time the first set returns.

[sturdy widget]

what does umbrella do

[pearl onyx]

Enemies are weakened and you are invincible for 15 seconds when starting the teleporter

[steady marsh]

If they don't have ama I'm assuming they might not have wicked since ama is just as loaded kill an overloading magma worm

[slender isle]

easier to get shattered mirror and activate it then use a cleaver special

[deft urchin]

Did I just get really unlucky that I got this magma stage that doesn't have the secret boss for miner?

If not where is the entrance?

[ebon dragon]

it'

it's not super common

if it' like all the other stages there's 6 versions of the stage

maybe half-ish would have the spawn?

[deft urchin]

Yeah but I was told that it would spawn everytime

Or at least that it was on each variation

What a scam

[floral birch]

It doesn’t, only on certain variants of the map

[ebon dragon]

^

like how the acrid box isn't on every varient of the water stage

[shrewd finch]

It's no hit between wisp spawning and dying

[shrewd finch]

It's on all original variants if you turn off new variants

[woven folio]

There are 6 different map variants for each one of em

[floral birch]

Yeah if u wanna cut the RNG out u can disable new stage variants

[woven folio]

You can turn off the new map variants from the options enu to increase your chance from 1/6 to 1/3

[shrewd finch]

You only need one wisp to die as a note for if you used mountain

[shrewd finch]

Could also do the run as huntress to maybe get acrid and complete the hunt

[woven folio]

Just play with new variants turned off until you unlock every challenge/prism skin xd

how long do temporary items last yo

[cold mesa]

Where I can find it?

[deft urchin]

Storage section of risk of rain level

Look for the background boxes

One of them is interactable

[woven folio]

Final ship level Storage room

[icy prairie]

does anyone know the base crit of charectors in returns? i was curoius and couldnt find anything for it execpt ror2

[fast moon]

can the overloading worm even spawn on drizzle or am i just wasting my time trying to hunt for one

[ebon dragon]

on drizzle you're looking at about stage 20+

[fast moon]

ah got it ty, guess i'll just keep going lol

[night acorn]

Is the Gun Chest in Risk of Rain intentionally designed to not give any items half of the time or is that a bug?

[ebon dragon]

i thought it was just a way to drain money on a chance of a good item

[frozen violet]

it seems intentional to me, I mean if it was a bug I think it would have been instantly found with a very small amount of testing

[cerulean garden]

does loader's shard always spawn with the artifact variant?

if so where do i find it

[night acorn]

I mean it's possible is trying to drop a specific item that isn't unlocked for me yet, but if it is intentional it kinda feels off in a sense

[frozen violet]

I have every item unlocked and they still sometimes just give me nothing

[icy prairie]

iirc it worked that way in ror1, i belive its a feature, not a bug

thye just dont drop items sometimes

[frozen violet]

you're better off opening the storage if you want items I guess

[night acorn]

Well fair enough, thanks for the answers!

[sinful orchid]

Will there be Workshop Support in the Future ?

[eager ridge]

If a player hosts an online game with someone who has more unlocks than them, will they see the unlocks of the player with the most unlocks?

Talking about items in game and everything

[floral birch]

I believe you see every unlock spread across the players

So whatever one person has unlocked will be present

Regardless of if they have more or less unlocked

[mild sun]

Do other people getting dissonance shards count towards your own dissonance shard count

[frozen violet]

other people picking up artifacts gives them to you as well so it should also work with shards

[eager ridge]

Damn
Cause i really want to play with someone who just got the game but I don't wanna spoil the items for them

[mild sun]

That's gonna make this a lot harder, 3/4 shards and I don't remember where my homies found them so I gotta just scout stages

[frozen violet]

oh yeah I randomly got dissonance myself by picking up a shard I thought I already had

[eager ridge]

There is no profile system like in RoR2 is it?

[mild sun]

• variant with shard isn't always garunteed so I just gotta hope and pray I get the right ones

[icy prairie]

i know one is is the pink cave, one in the artic area, and one is in the lava area

[frozen violet]

the one you haven't listed is the one underwater pretty sure

like bottom left of the map through a secret wall

[hybrid socket]

guysi think i'm gonna go crazy, what the hell determines if artificer's pulse spear will actually stun enemies

it feels completely random

[icy prairie]

it might be the refresh ability, im not sure, but if you want to to peirce you have to re-use the skill right before it hits an enemy

it might be that the stun only works if you peirce, but im not sure

[hybrid socket]

All i gather is that the stun is guaranteed to work if it's a direct hit without a pierce

other than that it's a frickin' 50/50 whether or not an enemy is stunned by it if you do the pierce

[cold mesa]

I hope there are more about ||Robomando. I mean, maybe there are some Prisms or Secret challenges for him that doesnt show in menu||

[fickle prism]

My friend got a pink rarity t-shirt item in hog bay. Any idea what it is? Or does?

[ebon dragon]

is this not the forbidden shipment? I didnt get the achieve

[pearl onyx]

It drops from the armored boar in boar beach. There's only one of them. Gives like 2 or 3 armor. Not much.

[pearl onyx]

That's HAN-D. The shipment is in the storage area that requires a keycard or sneaking in.

[ebon dragon]

what am i looking for?

[pearl onyx]

A dark chest that looks like it is part of the background. You'll see its outline light up when you can interact with it.

[ebon dragon]

got it thanks!

[proper flicker]

Are there any tips for finding drone recyclers, i’ve been trying to unlock drifter for like an hour but havent seen a single one

[raw sun]

fun fact: you can unlock artifact of sacrifice with bandits dynamite.

[cold ravine]

how do i enable health hud above my player ?

[raw sun]

usually one on stage 3

I found mine on sunken tomb

[pearl onyx]

In accessibility settings

[proper flicker]

are there a set of spawns for them or can they just spawn anywhere

[raw sun]

Anywhere

[proper flicker]

alright

thanks

[raw sun]

np

[static ginkgo]

theres no way to reload the shrapnel grenade early right?

[warm lion]

From what ive seen, other than just using the rest of your shells, no

[twilit whale]

Best way to survive in lava 1 minute without looping around and 3+ healing drones?

[frozen violet]

just set damage taken to 10% ?

[twilit whale]

What like 10+ mysterious vials?

[frozen violet]

no before you start the run in the rules section

[twilit whale]

I did still drains to much

[frozen violet]

maybe a bungus or like bandit to stay invincible for a while

[twilit whale]

I need to redo a run and use the healing fruit and some other stuff I suppose

[frozen violet]

han-d with 10 drones can probably stay in there for a while

[twilit whale]

I've been trying for 2+hours to get the huntresses alt ability with the 3 area bosses

[frozen violet]

the cognation golem counts towards that apparently

just reroll stage 1 until you get variant 4 of desolate forest

[twilit whale]

But after the golem in the forest acrid and magma won't fking spawn

[frozen violet]

and go kick his ass

I guess you gotta loop

[twilit whale]

7 times in a row and I didn't wanna loop

[agile zodiac]

who knows where to find ingame sprites?

[junior wave]

#ror-wiki-discussion pins

[fast trout]

how to get this one?

[drowsy vault]

if i remember i think there is a hidden passage on the right

not sure

[fast trout]

ah yeah painfully obvious i got it, thank you

[drowsy vault]

the other one was not obvious at all

[fast trout]

no that one was weird had to skip it a few times before someone posted it since there was no content about the game for a while

[drowsy vault]

the artificer prism is even worse

need to have so much time to find it by yourself

[fast trout]

i had a hunch something was there-ish but never bothered until i watch a video on them, still took me like 10 times to get it with help lol

[drowsy vault]

yeah

[fast trout]

struggling to get some of the unlocks cause i dont get the maps

[drowsy vault]

just loop 150 times

[fast trout]

just finished a 2hr run trying to do that only got 1 map i wanted

[frozen violet]

remember you can reduce the amount of variants in the rules

if you only allow old stages

[fast trout]

oh yeah, are most of the unlocks on the old ones then i didnt play ror so i dont know what maps are new

[frozen violet]

I know that miner is on an old variant, I would guess that the artifacts are also on old variants

I don't know the exact number of variants the original had

[pearl onyx]

Most are in the original variants. Only cognation and the dissonance pieces are in the new ones.

[fast trout]

thats good to know will have to turn them off for a few runs thanks all

[frozen violet]

variants 1-3 are OG ror and the other 3 are new then ?

[marsh cosmos]

can you still recycle the drone repair kit's drones?

[frozen violet]

yes

you won't get any items tho

[pearl onyx]

Pretty much.

[frozen violet]

ok makes sense

[marsh cosmos]

oh but it counts towards the drifter unlock right

[frozen violet]

also yes

it's the easiest way to unlock her

[feral root]

Where can you find the lang file to change item descriptions?

[pearl onyx]

right click the game in your steam library, manage, browse local files

[sturdy lion]

One artifact is specific to a new varient unfortunately

[short arch]

Does the "Kill an ancient wisp without taking damage" achievement include the wisps it splits into or something as well?

[wind monolith]

u took damage when it spawned

[short arch]

Oh yeah
Wait it does contact damage?

[wind monolith]

guess so

u got kinda cheesed lol

[cold ravine]

am i missing something why cant i get the golden chest ?

[pearl onyx]

Not contact damage. Looks like it creates a small fire on the ground where it spawns.

[cold ravine]

why cant i post images ?

[drowsy vault]

check above

[cold ravine]

oh there we go

sorry

[drowsy vault]

there is explication for this one

filter by my messages

[drowsy vault]

tldr: there is a wall where you are. you need to go to the floor above (where there are empiled containers) above the empiled containers there is a little floor with a hidden rope that goes through the container

[cold ravine]

:DDD

idk waht this is but they vibing

[still aspen]

Is it possible to win with commando on rainstorm?

[cold ravine]

and to get the log book i need to find a way to get to that opening on the right yeah ?

[drowsy vault]

i did not find other solution

jetpack + feathers

[vapid swan]

I'm trying to do the robomando unlock, but I cant find the battery pot anywhere, can it not spawn on certain stage variants?

[slender isle]

are you on drizzle?

[vapid swan]

oh it has to be drizzle?

damn lol

[slender isle]

yup

drizzle for the pot to spawn. then switch to rainstorm for the rest of the runs

[vapid swan]

ic ic

[cold ravine]

someone said i can enable health bar above my player in accesability

but i cant find that setting

[slender isle]

in all of those clips you were pretty much standing still and that's why you died

[lunar mango]

controls > accessibility options > Mini Health HUD

[cold ravine]

thank you foud nit

[icy fractal]

is there a Wiki for RoRR, or are people just using the original RoR wiki?

[lunar mango]

https://riskofrainreturns.wiki.gg/wiki/Risk_of_Rain_Returns_Wiki

[icy fractal]

ty

[still aspen]

Dodge was on cool down.

[slender isle]

no I mean walk around

[worn sky]

try kiting more

[still aspen]

So they can maul me later

[worn sky]

instead of running around you are standing in place eating attacks

[worn sky]

you have shotgun (gamer insane skill) and FMJ

tbh i recommend knife

knife + shotty is a deadly combo

the amount of burst damage it dishes out is aboslutely scrumptious

[fathom orchid]

Be jump and shoot man

[still aspen]

The knife is good but each enemies always manages to get at least one lick in before it dies

Particularly lemurians

And that stacks up

Then I'm walking around on 14 hp

[crimson portal]

how do you get 15 sawmerang kills this thing tickles enemies

[still aspen]

If only it was that simple

[placid turret]

it honestly is

[lunar mango]

it usually is that simple

[placid turret]

You also just got to know when to escape a certain battle to come back for a later blow

if you are surrounded by poison and the teleporter boss then i would not keep standing on that platform, so both jumping more and making the situation work for you

[torpid berry]

Question, there's a spot in a variation of Hive Cluster that has a hidden vine that seemingly leads to nowhere, including a spot where you can go out of bounds from. Does it have anything or is it unintended?

[thorny torrent]

literally just don't stand in the middle of horde of enemies

you're just constantly engaging again and again in those clips when in every single one of those you should have backed off to regain health or just disperse the crowd

[pale cloak]

I believe it's a hidden shortcut and it was in the first one too

[torpid berry]

I knew it was in the first one, I just didn't know if anything was added to it. Thanks for the response!

[still aspen]

This never works...ever if I get overwhelmed they just multiply and I get annihilated.

[fast hazel]

Spawns stop when the teleporter is done charging

[still aspen]

I wasn't, watch again

[slender isle]

Between standing still and letting 3 evolved lemurians maul you and running away while shooting them it's the second option that's more likely to help you survive

[fast hazel]

You kind of were though

[thorny torrent]

you are just walking around the middle of all the enemies when there are so many escape options next to you

[pale cloak]

Even in god runs you have to run sometimes

never stand still

[still aspen]

I think a better question would be: why does commando suck? And how can I win despite the characters shortcomings?

[thorny torrent]

commando is fine

[placid turret]

We've been telling you. It can't be that it's just for you that it plays so bad

[fast hazel]

Commando isn't the strongest character but he's not bad

[pale cloak]

He is a bit right though

[still aspen]

Thank you

[pale cloak]

commando definitely has a lot of situation where it's extremely difficult

[slender isle]

Hmm this character I'm playing has a long range infinite piercing skill. Guess I'll stand in melee range with enemies on both sides of me

[pale cloak]

if you didn't have proper loot

I main Merc, you can deal with anything with 0 item

when I play commando I feel like my character does nothing

[thorny torrent]

sure commando depends a lot on what items you get compared to other characters, but you can clearly see that that isn't the problem in those clips

[fast hazel]

Commando has I frames stun and long range piercing

Perhaps you're relying too much on his primary?

[pale cloak]

have you played any other character ?

[fast hazel]

Yes?

[placid turret]

If you like your battles close-up then just go for a melee character. There are a few very good ones.

[oblique void]

Who hatin in mando

[still aspen]

No I use other abilities when I can

[fast hazel]

Like sure pilot, drifter and sniper are stronger but Mando isn't weak

[pale cloak]

I mean for the commando player, if you have never played a melee character, I can see how you can not be used to dodge, and often die in difficult situations

[thorny torrent]

In those clips you're just holding down primary without regards to your own safety

[pale cloak]

I remember struggling a lot in RoR with commando specifically because I was relying on the roll iframes too much

[thorny torrent]

You're not supposed to be tanking hits in this game, you need to disengage, heal up, then reengage

[placid turret]

With commando you just have to make sure that you have a dodge availabe when things get hairy

bloke has mad range so yep, gotta utilize that.

[thorny torrent]

But you keep holding down primary (which limits your movement and makes you an easy target) when there are enemies literally in your face

[slender isle]

Using the dodge to create distance and then pierce through crowds with FMJ is really good too

Don't think of the dodge as only something to use when you're about to take damage

Be aggressive on commando

[pale cloak]

also try to spawn enemies in wide areas and try not to fight groups of enemies in dangerous spot, just ignore those

[still aspen]

What would you know about disengaging? You main artificer

[thorny torrent]

lmao you're a joke

[placid turret]

And you're getting rekt on stage 2

[lunar mango]

gonna be hard to do the "don't take any hits until the third teleporter" if you can't position yourself well

[pale cloak]

what does this unlocks btw ?

[thorny torrent]

I honestly really thought that you were joking with the clip when you first posted it until you actually started complaining

[lunar mango]

the mace equipment

triggers every on hit effect when hitting with it

[pale cloak]

oh nice

[still aspen]

I wouldn't call it complaining, just bringing light to an overlooked issue

[slender isle]

a skill issue

[thorny torrent]

the issue is you, not commando

[placid turret]

Isn't that a dig on you if the bloke mainin artificer is having less problems than you?

[worn sky]

well your skill issue is definitely overlooked yeah

[still aspen]

Stage 2 hardest stage no joke

[pale cloak]

lol

[lunar mango]

alright this has to be a joke now

[thorny torrent]

there are plenty of unfair situations in the game where you die out of nowhere, but all of those clips were very easily avoidable

[pale cloak]

okay that one I can't defend in good faith

[slender isle]

speaking of skill issue how the fuck do I deal with flying enemies on sniper

I wiped a monsoon run because a tesla archer bug spawned

[thorny torrent]

if you have trouble lining up horizontal shots, try to do pointblank shots on them

[fast hazel]

Just don't have overloading enemies spawn ez

[worn sky]

give quickscope or melee a try

[placid turret]

Drones? Sniper can keep them alive decently, innit

[pale cloak]

I can see different approach, meteor being one of them

[worn sky]

but yeah overloading is mostly the game problem

[slender isle]

yeah literally lmao. Anytime I get a good sniper run it's because I found three drones

[worn sky]

1.0.3 will save us all inshallah🙏

[fast hazel]

With the swifts I bait a hit and the kill a bunch with steady aim

[slender isle]

Can't wait for tesla shit to be fixed honestly

It's infuriating as of right now

[pale cloak]

There's quite a few active that can help a lot actually

the one that stops time maybe

[fast hazel]

The archer bugs are more annoying but I either jump shot them with primary spam or get drones or equipment to do it

[still aspen]

I'm gonna try again, with knife and shotgun. See you guys later.

[placid turret]

I got manhandled by swifts for a good while but i'm finally getting ahead of those slippery bastards

[fast hazel]

Lost doll kinda helps

[thorny torrent]

swifts and evolved lemurians actually come to the ground occasionally so they're al ittle easier to deal with but archer bugs are just awful

[slender isle]

yeah swifts I don't find as bad on sniper

[placid turret]

archer bugs do no damage though

[fast hazel]

I was going to say they aren't so bad and then you said overloading archer tbh

Overloading doesn't scale with enemy damage, does it?

[vapid swan]

it does

thats why overloading worms are so scary

[placid turret]

Still based on their own damage innit

[fast hazel]

That explains some of my deaths then

[placid turret]

Blazing golems are super dangerous

blazing lemurians less so

[fast hazel]

I thought it was that each segment could shock you. Speaking of, volatile worm

[vapid swan]

bit of both

[fast hazel]

Makes sense

[placid turret]

helps to have a different kind of fear for every type of elite

[devout magnet]

Secret character spoiler question;
|| I got the strange battery for the first step, defeated providence, then on the second step where you need to pick up the battery I died. Do I need to do step 1 again? ||

[placid turret]

"secret"

[vapid swan]

yeah you have to do it again

[devout magnet]

Lol I know right

Ughhhh okay Ty that sucks

[vapid swan]

found that one out the hard way

[placid turret]

People won't shut up about it, hehe but thanks for trying

[slender isle]

10% enemy damage slider does a little trolling

[wind walrus]

any mods out for rorr yet or is it too early for that?

[vapid swan]

it felt scummy at first but im currently in the process of waiting for the stage 4 tp window and yeah its really nice

[slender isle]

I replaced sky meadow music with rain formerly known as purple in my files. Does that count as a mod

[vapid swan]

i set it to 50% tho so its not painfully slow to die

[lunar mango]

mod support will come later

[placid turret]

Unsterdable, that song slaps.

not a bad idea considering hive has the same music too

[frozen violet]

what if I replaced every song with the robomando credits theme

[slender isle]

loss of sanity

[frozen violet]

now that'd be a good mod

[slender isle]

hive music should just be a high pitched beeping sound to make that stage even more miserable

increasing in volume 20% each time you fail a jump

[hearty sandal]

hive is good because gup

[placid turret]

if you read the hive log then you're actually quite close to what it sounds like for real

just constant misery sounds

and sometimes weeping

[slender isle]

at least it doesn't have cremators

I remember how much of a joke they were in ror1

not anymore

[pale cloak]

they are the new blighted clayman

[vivid saddle]

True

[pale cloak]

at least you see them coming now

you don't get a golem appear next to you like "sorry kid, nothing personal" and one clap your ass

[slender isle]

"sorry kid, nothing personal" now belongs to merc's parry

[pearl remnant]

I'm pretty sure when I accidentally started the second run on drizzle, I didn't have to do step 1 again

[vivid saddle]

Idk why but I really struggle dealing damage when I play a character like commando

And also any tips for finding the teleporter?

[slender isle]

pick a direction and run

pick the closest edge of the map first

[vivid saddle]

Ok

[vapid swan]

robomando has been unlocked

I didnt fumble this time lmao

[pale cloak]

he's really fun

[cerulean python]

seconded. you really dont want to go the long way first because if you guessed wrong it can be a massive time loss

whsts great tho is when you spawn smack in the middle and have to win a 50/50

[graceful moon]

How many skin prisms are there?

[vapid swan]

just played my first run with him and yeah hes crazy

[vapid swan]

theres 2 for acrid and 1 for everyone else pretty sure

except robomando

[loud ginkgo]

are we getting more skins

[vapid swan]

ask the devs lol

[graceful moon]

are there any secret challenges other than prisms and robomando?

[loud ginkgo]

i dont wanna ping them

[loud ginkgo]

providence judgement trial..? maybe?

if that rlly counts

[steady marsh]

origin ig

[vapid swan]

origin? is there like a new thing with that artifact?

[steady marsh]

Wait am I going insane e

What's the one for the thing with the Providence artifacts enabled

Origin is imps

[vapid swan]

I'm so confused

like an all artifacts secret?

I havent even started the artifact hunt yet lol

[steady marsh]

To unlock origin u need to beat the game with the original 9 all on

[pale cloak]

he's super fun in multiplayer too. I played with a sniper, since the good items on them don't overlap too much we had an easy like 28 minutes win

[steady marsh]

I guess u can turn tempus or whatever it's called too on if u. Want.

[mild sun]

woah, so that's how you do it? which are the original 9?

[feral slate]

Which is better, backblast or burnout?

[pale cloak]

it's basically the equivalent of the Eclipse stuff, except you have to start at eclipse 9, and every modificator is nuts

[vapid swan]

lemme launch ror 1 and find out lol

[pale cloak]

it's like, all elite enemies, no chest but ennemies loot items, extra dealt damage, enemies explode on death

[vapid swan]

honor, kin, distortion, spite, glass, enigma, sacrifice, command, and spirit

[vapid swan]

^^^

[steady marsh]

There's a little display thing in the Providence fight that'll show u what artifacts u have on

[mild sun]

much appreciated, you both!

[steady marsh]

Those r the ones u need but u can add the new one if u want.

[fervent copper]

Does anyone have any tips for Merc Judgement?

[pale cloak]

I wish there was an artifact that gave us the blighted enemies from RoR back

[vapid swan]

???

[mild sun]

use the iframes to the best of your advantage

[vapid swan]

blights are in the game?

[slender isle]

does he know

[pale cloak]

yes but they are much weaker

[vapid swan]

they are not much weaker

[fervent copper]

I prefer to use FS over Whirl, but that’s not an option

[pale cloak]

well their life is about the same

but they are definitely much slower

and the damage I'm not sure, they rarely ever hit me

[vapid swan]

are you sure you're not just goated?

cuz blights are still scary as hell

[pale cloak]

they are scary

but much more visible, you can't really lose track of them as much

[slender isle]

I feel like way more blights spawn though

[feral root]

Does cape work with the hermits scarf? (Does evade count as blocked damage)

[pale cloak]

in RoR sometimes you just wouldn't know where they were and when they were going to attack, here it's much easier to kepp your distances

I had many blight bosses

[slender isle]

other than the massive healthbar on top of your screen to warn you

[steady marsh]

Yes

[pale cloak]

I mean just die to them much less, or at all

though maybe that's also the better movement in this game

[runic fox]

Blight enemies weren't hard to pick out at all in 1 imo.
They're the ones that don't die fast.

Seriously though, they just kinda reinforce what you already want to be avoiding, that being getting swarmed.

[pale cloak]

with ranged characters, sure, with melee, you fight the swarm

[somber nest]

can you still unlock monster logs on drizzle, not that I would ever play it or anything like that

[pearl onyx]

Yes you can.

[rain scarab]

what does the gun chest do on the final level?

[pale cloak]

the gun in the boss room ?

[rain scarab]

in one of the locked rooms, there are multiple gun chests

[slender isle]

they have a chance at dropping offensive items

[somber nest]

give you a selection of items from a military pool

what they said

[rain scarab]

in the boss room, right?

but isn't one enough? or is each chestg usable once?

[runic fox]

Basically the only thing you CAN'T get on Drizzle alone is, well, merc's monsoon-only challenge, and robomando.

[unreal quail]

im having trouble with massacre achievment, what counts as a 15 enemy multikill?

[runic fox]

No, only the gauss gun in the armory gets transported to the boss room, everything else in there is chests you can buy for a chance at an item.

Though I think an ATG mk2 is guaranteed, maybe try the chests in the very back on the lower or upper floor.

[pale cloak]

kills in one skill I'd guess

did you unlock sniper ?

that should unlock it easily

[rain scarab]

seems like an awfully high price for a (chance) at an item. I opened a few and they had nothing

[pale cloak]

yeah you open them last, or when you have infinite money

[slender isle]

if you're full looting contact light you probably have too much money anyway

[unreal quail]

nah nah its you can only do it on artificer, and it seems like others are having trouble as well

[slender isle]

I used artifact of kin and blew up 15 lemurians with a nanobomb

have them stand near an edge, don't use an ice wall

ice wall fucks it up

[unreal quail]

hmmm okay, ill try ty

alri that wroked ty ty

[exotic nacelle]

for snipers reload whats the difference between landing in white/purple/black

[worn sky]

damage dealt

[exotic nacelle]

obviously black is the worst, but whats the difference between white and purple, has anyone calculated the multipliers they give?

oh wait it says if you hover over the reload skill when you need to reload nvm

[proper flicker]

is there any way to boost the chance of getting a drone recycler, ive been trying all day for drifter and havent seen a single one

[stray rapids]

Any advice to get the turtle achievement?

[fervent copper]

Drop your shield and continuously fire for 5 minutes straight. Don’t do it after the teleporter.

[slender isle]

does each tick of damage from commando's shotgun have a chance of activating rusty blade?

[frozen violet]

The underwater stage and the temple of elders have the greatest chance of having a recycler

Otherwise it's just rng

Also use a drone repair kit to get all 6 drones

Just use it, recycle the drone it gives you and repeat

[languid aurora]

@frozen violet @proper flicker for me, looping seems to increased chances but I don’t know if that’s proven

[stray rapids]

wait in combat means to be just attacking?

[fervent copper]

That’s how I got it

[stray rapids]

Huh okayy then

[fervent copper]

Back up to a wall tho

For safety reasons

[shadow fog]

Is there a way to fail Gold medal on Providence Trial's Highway Robbery, while you finished the map ? (oppened all cases, killed everyone), else does that means I missed one or multiples cases ? (I would think only one in my case)

[frozen violet]

Your question is a bit hard to understand are you saying you opened everything and still don't have enough for gold ? Or are you just asking how to finish the trial ?

You've got to activate the teleporter to leave at the end

[shadow fog]

Oppened everything and still don't have enought gold. (Miss 36 gold exactly lul)
Sry I tend to be bad at explaining things lul

[frozen violet]

Must have missed something then, there's exactly enough for gold on the level

[shadow fog]

Right then is there a way to know what I missed ? I did the whole map 3 or 4 times but still failed to see it

[frozen violet]

I guess I'd need to see the state of your map

[shadow fog]

Uhm I guess I could send thousand of screens, but maybe better to share screen ?

[frozen violet]

There aren't any like invisible containers so if they're all open you should have everything

I'm on my phone atm lmao

[zenith garden]

Did you kill all the tubers for their box?

[slender creek]

Do you think keycards in providence trials count toward wicked ring?

[shadow fog]

Wdym ? the keycards case thing ? Yeah killed them all, got the keycards, and oppened the closed hideout with lot of money, still miss 36 gold (well whatever I retried by accident, if the problems occurs again I guess I'll ask again... mb)

[frozen violet]

Is wicked ring the 4 keycard unlock requirement ?

[slender creek]

Yes

[frozen violet]

I don't think you can unlock anything during a trial

[slender creek]

Yeah i figured

Wouldve been funny

[frozen violet]

Honestly you can just artitact of command substandard duplicator and pick up keycards on the contact light

[strong harbor]

does having additional new artifacts beyond the original ones break the Origin Artifact unlock?

[steel mesa]

Does anyone know if there are plans to fix the ||Chibi Robo|| Judgement unlock?

And if unlocking it now would even count? Since it has no achievement associated

[steel mesa]

no

[frozen violet]

It does have an achievement at the bottom of the character challenges in the logs

[steel mesa]

Really? huh

[frozen violet]

I think it's just not associated with any steam achievement to avoid spoilers

[steel mesa]

But he does HAVE the prov skin

It's just, not obtainable for some reason

[rotund shuttle]

chat what is best enforcer abilities?

[frozen violet]

Maybe we'll get it once more people know about the lil guy

[steel mesa]

Shield tackle and the shotgun

Shotgun special

[rotund shuttle]

how much better IS shield tackle ive never tried it but im having so many issues beating provi with enforcer

[steel mesa]

Significantly

Shield tackle directly combos into the barrier move

[rotund shuttle]

so tackle into block into r?

[cerulean python]

if you use it while shield is already up you can also switch your facing direction without putting shield down by holding the direction you want as the tackle ends

[rotund shuttle]

i noticed this run so far actually that feels so nice

[wind walrus]

i dont like playing without command, is there a way to unlock it in files or anything like with ror2?

[shadow fog]

Ok, I've redone the challenge, oppened all the case, killed everyone, and I still miss 36 gold to make it to 1100 for Gold Medal, I def missed a case, but I have no idea where... And yes I've oppened the hidden hideout with the keycards. So thanks in advance for help. (Oh right didn't seen they were a channel dedied to #providence-trials I'm blind)

[frozen violet]

You could just find it in one of the hive variants in the top right section of the stage

I don't think people have discovered any form of save editing yet

[cerulean python]

ive been told theres a save editor but idk anything abt it. id put damage to 200%, damage taken to 10%, go on drizzle as fast as possible to check hive cluster then reset if you dont get the artifact. also turning off the new stages might help. very unsure but i think new variants dont have it

[frozen violet]

Artifacts were in the og risk of rain so they should be in the old variants yeah

[wind walrus]

how do i do that

[frozen violet]

With only a few exceptions aka the new artifacts

[cerulean python]

on the sceen where you select character theres another menu called "rules" you can change it there

[frozen violet]

There's a rules tab when starting a run

[wind walrus]

oh okay thanks guys

[cerulean python]

np 👍

[deft urchin]

What's the difference between barrier and armor?
And how's max barrier calculated?

[pearl onyx]

Barrier is extra hp that goes over your normal hp and decays over time. Amror is damage reduction.

[frozen violet]

Barrier is just extra health while armor actively reduces the damage you take

[deft urchin]

So is 1 point of armor 1% damage reduction right?

[frozen violet]

Max barrier is probably a percentage of your max health

Not sure

[elder iris]

How does Sniper's perfect reload work? Which part am i supposed to time?

[deft urchin]

Based on the description of tough times where it says reduce damage by 14% and detailed description says gives 14 armor

[frozen violet]

You wanna hit the white area

[frozen violet]

I guess so but I doubt having 100 armour would just make you invincible. I think we'd need to know more about the damage formula

[deft urchin]

I guess we'll have to wait for dataminers to find the exact formula

[pearl onyx]

If it's anything like ror1, damage reduction is armor/(armor+100)

[frozen violet]

That'd make sense. That way you can never get to 100% and get diminishing returns

[deft urchin]

Is guardian's heart bonus hp considered barrier?

Or it's another thing entirely

[frozen violet]

I think shield HP is its own separate thing since it can regen separately from the barrier

And can be contributed to by items like the cremator boss item

[wanton plank]

Anyone know if the challenges Acrid: Dissolved (spread 3,300ft Caustic Sludge), and Loader: Bionic (6,500m using hydraulic gauntlet) have to be done in one run or whether they're cumulative over multiple runs?

[mint pagoda]

https://dyno-bytes.github.io/precipitation/ 👍

[frozen violet]

Cumulative

It'd be insane if you had to do that in a single run

[robust tundra]

Is the artifact for no chests drop items on death a chance to drop on death?

[frozen violet]

[wanton plank]

Amazing thanks, just wasn't sure of the distance of maps n such

[robust tundra]

I ask cause I am getting no chests period lol

[frozen violet]

Yes and a pretty low one from experience

I got into a multiplayer lobby with sacrifice on once. Never again

You literally get nothing from it. It's so bad lmao

[cerulean python]

i did acrids on one run with drizzle, command, and rules chamges just spamming move speed items lol. but yeah unless you wanna cheese it one run would be crazy

[strong harbor]

does the stopwatch stack the duration if you cast it a bunch?

[mild sun]

trying to do the huntress-no hit-take down ancient wisp

have done 3 hours of repeat runs and still no ancient wisp

is there like, requirements for it to be a tele boss?

[nocturne light]

how i unlock razor penny

[pearl onyx]

Nope

[pearl onyx]

kill 12 enemies with one gold-plated bomb

[nocturne light]

ty

[warm bane]

I keep looping on accident, how do I just go to the last stage?

[mild sun]

the moment i complained about it spawning, it spawned on the next run, ty

[mild sun]

press f on the divine teleporter instead of e

[warm bane]

fuck me

ty

they never taught me how to read

[mild sun]

you can do it at any stage after temple, don't need to go back to that specific stage

[rain scarab]

how do i get a beam drone?

[candid verge]

I'm trying to get Origin right now, and I remember from the original you have to have all other artifacts turned on, but on the wiki it doesn't say you need dissonance. Is this an error or do I not need to turn on dissonance?

I'd post a picture showing it says that, but I can't

Including tempus and cognance?

cognation*

[tame folio]

Wait can some enemy attacks just bypass block?

An overloading enemy tesla coiled straight through my Prophet Cape

[simple tendon]

[steady marsh]

U can add the new artifacts if you want iirc, but you don't need to

[turbid robin]

For Miner is there a specific condition for his version of magma barracks to unlock?

[steady marsh]

Didn't realize this was a gif and got jumpscared

[timid badger]

wow just like in game

[steady marsh]

no just luck, if ur trying for it turn on classic stages

[turbid robin]

Gotcha

[strong harbor]

anyone else unable to input right+jump+attack(z) with classic input at the same time? (left movement works fine)

[robust tundra]

@candid vergeThere is a way to tell which ones you need (I am off to work) is when yea at the final boss look at the bottom and see which icons are showing? Take a screenie and I can look at it.

[tame folio]

This is what you need, new 4 aren't needed

[carmine breach]

does anyone know if that chest u put the battery in lasts for only one run?

[nocturne hedge]

does anyone know if RORR is going to get mod support?

[tame folio]

iirc as long as you don't open it you will find it on the next run

[carmine breach]

ok thanks

[tame folio]

In a later patch according to #faq

[nocturne hedge]

awesome, thx :3

[rich cedar]

hope and fucking pray

[steady marsh]

Yes, workshop support is planned eventually

[rich cedar]

i literally just did an 80 minute run and only got 1 tier one laser drone

[tame folio]

Pray, you can either loop until you get 3 laser drones and combine them or keep hitting the final level until you find a beam drone lying around

[tame folio]

I had a 180 minute run without a single laser drone

That unlock is painful

At least gunner drones are common for HAN-D

[rich cedar]

i literally got 2 gilded gunners and 1 gilded healer before i got even a single tier one laser

its insane

[olive viper]

hello Is there any way to set a custom resolution in the game files? I want to use a different resolution, but it is extremely unreadable

[blissful pulsar]

What are some of the better items/strategys for dealing with large groups of flying enemies? (Evolved Lemurians, Archer Bugs, Swifts, Etc)

tryna do monsoon with all artifacts on and they keep beating my ass whenever Kin rolls for them

[late chasm]

is the jar on any difficulty?

[tame folio]

The one for the secret character?

Drizzle only

[late chasm]

yeah the battery

[olive viper]

somebody?

[late chasm]

not yet

[steady marsh]

Uhhhhh honest answer I feel like it wouldn't be devestating to implement but the scaling might look awful as is tradition with pixel art games

[tame folio]

A general tactic is just stacking enough speed to be faster than them, that way they'll stay level with you horizontally trying to catch up

Purely dealing with them using items will be rough, esp if you roll mediocre stuff

[rich cedar]

proccing atgs helps, speed like the other guy said, also pilot is good in general for them but especially because of the m2

[tame folio]

Oh yeah pilot

pilot gaming

[blissful pulsar]

What if i dont have a lot of runway left
Like im up against a wall/the edge of the stage

should i try to stack hopoos/faulty jetpacks to hop over them and start running

[tame folio]

Basically

[blissful pulsar]

Atgs are good and also i meant like
general, universal strategy
I already know Pilot is a Chad at full screen coverage

[mild sun]

how do i get huntress alt m1?

[tame folio]

Atgs require you to hit them to begin with is the problem

[olive viper]

sad. Check the configuration file and I saw that the resolution works indexed, am I right?

[blissful pulsar]

mmmm yeah but paired with the keepaway strategy i think i could make it work

[tame folio]

Kill 3 out of ||Cognition Golem/Acrid/Direseeker/Providence|| in a single run

[raven spoke]

How would you play Acrid? What are some relevant builds? He easily seems like the worst survivior in returns due to his lack of range.

[rich cedar]

poison and then run

[blissful pulsar]

He's more of a hit and run specialist with his special/utility

[rich cedar]

his util is important for a lot of his damage

the base one i mean

the alternate util is kinda icky

[mild sun]

i know how to get ||acrid / providence|| but how do i get the others?

[rich cedar]

but ideally you'd want to throw out epidemic while training a large group

[steady marsh]

I'd have to go check and rn I'm procrastinating lmao

[tame folio]

||Direseeker is the boss you have to kill to unlock miner in magma barracks, Cognition Golem is guarding the Artifact of Cognition on Desolate Forest 4 far right, look for a hidden rope leading down||

[rich cedar]

as well as using your util to cover the ground, then just run around and repeat

[blissful pulsar]

What's ||Cognition Golem||?

[mild sun]

thx

[rich cedar]

although thats only really until later in the game, early game you can get away with close combat

[zenith garden]

You can also loop and kill acrid twice then providence

[raven spoke]

What about the ||flies in the altar level|| lol? I have a lotta trouble with those in particular

[mild sun]

i'll do that

[tame folio]

Doesn't it say unique?

[rich cedar]

||golem from desolate forest #4, it spawns in a hidden room underground after you press 2 buttons, it respanws once after you kill it, and it rewards you with an artifact||

[languid aurora]

Hey so I’m going for robomando and there are no pots spawned on temple of elders. I have checked both sides and I am on drizzle… help?

[rich cedar]

it does

[tame folio]

Can't kill the same one twice

Has to be one of each

[blissful pulsar]

Oh sick

[tame folio]

You can generally get it without looping if you keep restarting until you get Desolate Forest 4 first stage

[blissful pulsar]

...Which layout of Desolate forest is number 4?

||And where do i find the buttons||

||Is it around the left, middle, or right?||

[tame folio]

Just look for a ripe down on the far right

[rich cedar]

you have to find out yourself lol i couldnt tell you, i just know its on the right side of the map, and you just hold down and eventually you'll reach the vine where the room is

[blissful pulsar]

ahhh i can work with that

[rich cedar]

i recognize it now but only because ive been there enough times

[blissful pulsar]

ty

[rich cedar]

actually if you want i can show you the image

i have the log for it

[tame folio]

I have it too but I'm trying to get the miner level 10 unlock rn :c

I'll post after if nobody has yet

Or if another Overloading Elite spawns on top of me :)

[rich cedar]

this is what it looks like, the circle is the vine you have to climb down

[forest temple]

will there be mod support in the future? if so, how soon?

[tame folio]

They haven't specified how soon, but there will be

[timid badger]

it's their main goal, but their best guess as of right now is at least a few months

[half imp]

What's the difference between GLAZE and OIL JAR?

Also, the difference between DRONE- SPEED and DRONE- BLAST?

[fervent copper]

Glaze has the mobility bonus and can hit quite a lot of enemies if you have them in a line, but jar has range and can hit grouped up enemies ||(I personally prefer glaze because I don’t have jar 🫠)||

[half imp]

It says jar also gives you a speed boost but it doesn't look like it does

[fervent copper]

I’ve never heard of this

🤔

[vague ibex]

it says "slide while in oil" or something for the jar

[autumn marsh]

why does the fear lantern only fear some bosses? magma worm and vagrant dont seem to get feared by the aura? ifrit only gets fear once it walks entirely through the circle lmao

imp overloard and colossus got feared normally and just walked hte other way

is it hitbox?

[vague ibex]

I have jar and don't really like it. it's much harder to land than glaze

yeah idk what's up with the lantern. even just using it on the children in that one Han-D trial it seemed to work totally randomly, some would get feared while others would walk right through it with no rhyme or reason

[half imp]

What about this?

[tame folio]

Speed works same as base drone but gives you attack speed instead of healing

[pliant spire]

Is there a recomended build/character for the providence trial ||judgement||

[proud summit]

There’s no confirmed date for mouse horizontal movement right?

[tame folio]

Blast just launches a projectile for 500% that doesn't pierce

[stray rapids]

Any advice for a dime a dozen??

[proud summit]

Nvm read the announcement*

[half imp]

I thought it reduced cooldown of OVERCLOCK,?

[tame folio]

Oh yeah it like, extends the duration every time you use it

Not the cooldown tho

[half imp]

Oh

[vague ibex]

hop around with a couple feathers while having a ton of money and let a bunch of enemies collect under you, drop the bomb, they all die

[half imp]

Which is the best?

[half imp]

(of the drone alts)

[forest temple]

Just curious, Is there something I need to disable in Steam for this to work? I've replaced my save (after making a backup), but when I open the game everything is just as it was before... like it was overridden

[tame folio]

Healing and speed are both useful, I find blast the least useful but you can prob build around it

[mint pagoda]

i mean apart from making sure risk of rain returns is closed before you edit it, not that im aware of

[blissful pulsar]

Am i near the right spot?

[tame folio]

Wrong variant

[forest temple]

strange... alrighty then. I'll look around

[tame folio]

Also wrong orientation xd

[blissful pulsar]

i am a living skill issue

are there any notable landmarks about D. Forest #4 I should look for to be sure

[grizzled stream]

anyone know if survivors have proc coefficients like ror2?

[pearl onyx]

Also clean your monitor

[blissful pulsar]

no

-oh wait
to logbooks have a literal map of every stage and its varients

[tame folio]

@blissful pulsar this is the far right side, far left side notably is at ground level only and has a small blue tree in it

[tame folio]

yes

[blissful pulsar]

i see where it is now
ty for help

[mint pagoda]

might overwrite once in a while if it tries to download from cloud before reading dat ig?

though shouldn't happen every time

[dim fog]

yo does anyone know any tips to beat the mortar engi challenge?

its hard i got 40 tho it just gets to overwhemling

[mossy forge]

is it better to get different types of onhit items for damage or stack the same ones? ie dagger x3 vs dagger+orange bomb+uke?

[forest temple]

I figured it out. I placed it in the wrong folder

[dim fog]

usually get different ones to have multiple effects at once but once u get a tleast 1 of each try and stack them all to 5 once that is done try and get your favortite one to 10 ( i would suggest dagger) but if its a specific quest obviously get more of the item u specifcally need

[mint pagoda]

ah alright 👍

[autumn marsh]

cant wait for the aim scheme update. as a m+k player, when i tried out the buttons only scheme my brain had a huge issue regulating my hands lmao. normally i'd be alright with it, considering i've played keyboard only games multiple times but this time it just felt really strange not sure why.

[vague ibex]

jump to hit the enemies slightly earlier so you have a tiny bit more time to hit others and save your harpoons for when you're getting overwhelmed

[dim fog]

alr thx ill try it out and tell you how it goes

[autumn marsh]

how do i best use sniper's backflip roll? it feels odd to use it as movement, since its reverse.

[dim fog]

thx i got way closer i think i can defientaly get it in the next try or two

[dim fog]

yo ill help give me a sec to type it

[dim fog]

usually when your attack enemies while facing it u can use it so u can escape while attacking them for example if you were facing a golem u would be facing him but if u were low u could use the backflip to escape just try to use it to escape but if u need to use it to like get across something just face the other way and jump as u press it i know its odd but youll get used to it if u main sniper

[hasty vector]

what does the umbrella actually do?

[dim fog]

not sure lol

[dim fog]

letme see rq

[blissful pulsar]

Question:
Are the ||clones|| spawned by ||artifact of cognition|| affected by Artifact of sacrifice?

[dim fog]

aha found it

[west mauve]

wow artificer feels a lot better now

after that update

still has some problems but

her primary just feels way better to use

[dim fog]

have'nt tried her much shes good in ror2 but i heard shes not good in this

[west mauve]

she felt pretty bad to play but they just buffed her today

[dim fog]

oh cool

[west mauve]

mainly that first point

her chakrams felt really hard to use

and did not very much damage

but now their hitbox stays active for a lot longer

[dim fog]

oh thats cool

for now this chat is pretty dead

[robust tundra]

Thanks

[hasty vector]

I see, thank you! It's a bit disappointing as I just had my second win but now that I see what that items does I kind of feel like I just got lucky on this

[dim fog]

yeah np goodluck

[scarlet cipher]

anyone else having a issue with multiplayer where you randomly lose connection to the host

[dim fog]

ive expirenced that issue a couple times its all over in bug reports there currently trying to fix it i believe

yo anyone up for a monsoon match? i need achient spear anyway.

[tulip flint]

are you gaurenteed a legendary chest on stage 5?

[dim fog]

yes

[tulip flint]

alr ty

[dim fog]

np goodluck

[tulip flint]

so if i cant find mine im just bad?

[dim fog]

well they are usually out in the open but its usually hard to get up so idk why u cant find it if u cant find it tell me ill find out why

[hasty vector]

If you can get to stage five I don't know if you really need to tear your hair out about it

[tulip flint]

gotcha lol

[dim fog]

anyway anyone up for a match?

[hasty vector]

Without spoiling too much, are the giant teleporters just window dressing or do they do something after I've done enough stuff in the game

[dim fog]

uhum the giant teleporters are usually an artifact puzzle or do u mean the divine teleporter?

[hasty vector]

I don't know what you mean by divine, but every level has a background object that resembles the teleporters, but on a massive scale. I'm just wondering if there is a game mechanic associated with them or if they're there to make the game feel mysterious

[shut shard]

is Ol'lopper's "lower health" description a threshold before bonus damage? or is it a gradual increase to the bonus damage?

[dim fog]

oh there used for part of the game

[hasty vector]

got it, say no more! I'll find out what they do myself

thank you

[dim fog]

||there places where u can recieve the artifacts by doing certain puzzles for each map||

[dim fog]

oh k

then dont read my text

[dim fog]

thanks for the tips i won :D

[scarlet girder]

I am surprised that only 0.4% of users have the Mastery achivement

[dim fog]

yo guys in bug reports a guy got his data reset he sent me proof anyone know how to help?

[half sky]

Does anyone have tips for dodging enemy attacks? Every time I try to stop to fire a crowd mobs me, and when I try to play evasively I always end up having to double back through the crowd and take a ton of damage

(Or any knockback-resisting elite just takes all my shots and catches up to me)

[brittle rock]

Jump

Like, every attack in the game can be dodged with some sort of jump timing

It’s why hopoo feather is probably one of the best items in the game

[half sky]

Can't shooty reliably when jump

[vague ibex]

nice congrats!

[gleaming pier]

Huntress’ alt-primary requires 3 unique special event bosses but I only know of 2. Them being ||Acrid|| and ||the elder lemurian guarding miner||. What other ones are there?

[zenith garden]

Providence

[dim fog]

:D

[half sky]

||imp vanguard?||

[gleaming pier]

Oh lol

[nova salmon]

I guess providence is a special event boss of sorts

hur

[half sky]

How do I avoid magma worms 😭 their attack hits through jump

[brittle rock]

They predict where you go, look at the ground to see where they’re gonna pop out a few seconds before they do

[brittle rock]

Well, usually I prioritize survival over damage

[dim fog]

i just started trials today there so fun! i alrady completed like 20

[blazing helm]

anybody have any tips for getting the overloading worm as loader for the achievement? just haven't been able to find it that easily

[marsh sail]

overloading worms happen pretty often on loop teleporter bosses

esp if you mountain shrine

[blazing helm]

I see, I've been able to get them on other characters a lot but now that I'm playing loader I can never find one LOL

are they more likely on certain difficulties do you know? I've been playing rainstorm but dont know if they're more/less common

[marsh sail]

oh yeah you're right its rigged for loader, you gotta input the konami code before you use the teleporter 👍

[blazing helm]

ohhhhhhh trueeeeeeeee

[gleaming pier]

There is an artifact that can help ||prestige||

[marsh sail]

probablly gonna be more likely on higher diff

[vagrant schooner]

are there mods yet?

[blazing helm]

Ah gotcha, || tried it but didn't know if it was helping since it still didnt happen LOL but I'll keep trying ||

[stray rapids]

Any hints for the Siiick achievement?

[half sky]

On the coming back down though

[stray rapids]

And also for the Catchy achievement, Ive been spreaidng it to so many enemies but it just doesnt happen

Does it have to kill them or somethinf?? It only says spread

[final stone]

I HAVE DONE IT

I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY IMPORTED A SAVE FILE

WITHOUT DESTROYING THE GAME

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[marsh sail]

i dont even understand that achievement.. like backflip doesnt do damage... does it mean like hold secondary, backflip, then release?

[stray rapids]

I've seen someone say they used fireworks to kill providence, and then backflipped while that happened

[lime abyss]

drones or the gauss cannon can work as well

[vague ibex]

you can shoot while backflipping, but other damage still works. also you can "kill" any of his phases and it still counts, so you get 3 tries

[marsh sail]

how do you shoot while backfliping?? doesnt work for me

[knotty coyote]

does anyone know how to open developer console and increase player count

[vague ibex]

steady aim (the default right click)

[marsh sail]

well you can charge it before, and release after but does that count for the achi?

since you cants actually do damage during your backflip

[limber mantle]

have they shared how often they update the switch version?

[vague ibex]

I've had 3 people tell me it works, but I guess it could honestly be a chain of misinformation

[stray rapids]

Oh thank god

[marsh sail]

I want to believe it works cause idk what else you're supposed to do

[vague ibex]

alternatively: use artifact of glass + command, stack hardlights, and use thqwibs and spam backflips

[stray rapids]

That sounds insane

[shut shard]

Does shustice have synergy with acrid's epidemic? as in does it do more damage per tick as the defense is lowered?

[proper flicker]

my friend has this blue and yellow pilot skin, but doesnt remember how he got it. does anyone know how to get that skin?

[west jacinth]

Should be from one of Pilots providence trials iirc

[cerulean python]

Cant do it with snipe or steady aim, by the time you can shoot the backflip is technically done. The easiest way i found is to use command, 200%dmg dealt 10% taken bc why not, grab as many infusions as possible, get kills for hp, then get lost doll, which does 500x your hp as damage instantly, get provi low, backflip, lost doll, profit. also i think ppl said this already but it can be any provi phase not just last

[knotty coyote]

is ctrl alt ` not how u open console anymore

[cerulean python]

actually theoretically it could be poasible with steady aim i only tested with snipe

[limber mantle]

get the item which gives you charges for your tactical once or twice, then hold the backroll button down while using a damage equipment worked very easily for me. also any instance of the boss counts so you can try again if it doesn’t work out

[stray rapids]

Ill probably try that
