[elder patrol]

Run

[grim stream]

Also it feels like the parachute barely launches me at all.

[elder patrol]

Did you jump before you hit it or did you hit it while on the ground?

[grim stream]

Pretty sure while I was on the ground.

[bleak adder]

you can use your m2s and specials to stay in the air as well

[pearl patio]

why does only merc get mastery

why nobody else have skill ceiling reward

[unkempt saddle]

is it just me or is the drone recycler impossible to find

ive done too many resets and cant find them

i have the required material to unlock drifter but i keep getting unlucky

[old snow]

so far in my experience they're more common on stage 5

[elder patrol]

They can spawn on stage 3, 4 and 5

Gotta pray for rng

[grim stream]

Which method makes you go higher?

[elder patrol]

The same for me but probably the latter

I didn't use the parachute much lol, I use the alt instead

[fathom walrus]

Pilot: what's your guys opinion on alternative Primary and Special?

[karmic nacelle]

How many stages are in this game before you beat a run

I literally have not made it past stage 3 yet

[fathom walrus]

5 stages, with the 5th being the final one.

[elder patrol]

Pilot alt m1 basically jacked up commando m1 but shorter range

Alt special is okay, but wavedashing is dope

[fathom walrus]

You can loop that infinitely as long as you're not going to the ship.

[karmic nacelle]

How do I deal with enemies coming from my back as enforcer

[elder patrol]

Walk backwards more lol

[fathom walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/turn-around-dean-supernatural-gif-7734982

[karmic nacelle]

Opinions on enforcer alt secondary?

Alt primary too

[grim stream]

Parachute or wave dash?

[elder patrol]

Both are fine

Wave dash is dope as fck tho

[cyan jay]

does doing the first run for unlocking ||robomando|| and then doing the second run later after closing the game reset the progress

ok nvm i found the ||warp chest||

[waxen meadow]

how the hell do you do the scavenger hunt providence trial

[cinder wing]

anyone know how to unlock the third HAN-D drone skill?

[elder patrol]

Obtain a golden drone

You need to merge 3 t2 drones (example is combat drones)

Probably have to loop if you didn't get enough or no merger

[cinder wing]

wym merge? like theres a merge machine

[elder patrol]

Yes

Drone Upgrader

[cinder wing]

okay

thank yew

do io gotta do it as HAND

[elder patrol]

Ye

[deep rover]

is merc ancient scepter bugged or is the effect just that useless

i dont notice anything

[fervent copper]

No, the effect is actually really useful on most characters, it’s just subtle

[mild sun]

first time playing multiplayer with friends but we found the item sharing mechanims quite annoying....
is there any mode that can duplicate the dropped item?

[fervent copper]

Not one

[elder patrol]

No mod support for now

[mild sun]

OK... we have to split items to all three guys in the game

and found it is way harder than solo lol

[forest temple]

what does the tier 3 beem drone look like?

[fervent copper]

For more reasons than that.

[mild sun]

like I could have 30+ items reaching the final boss but now these 30 items have to be splitted to the whole team

[fathom walrus]

Any idea where data is stored for Unlocks/Trials etc.?

[vagrant sapphire]

Is substandard duplicator bugged on switch? I keep getting alien heads and not the duplicator

[graceful moon]

its rng

[vagrant sapphire]

Like what is this

[warm lion]

are you doing the challenge for drifter?

the small chests have alien head if i remember correctly

and the big ones are the duplicators

[vagrant sapphire]

Ohh ok I kept getting it from the bags too

[warm lion]

the bags is just rng

but i do think they noticably increased the odds for alien head in that challenge

[winged heart]

uh

is tesla coil gonna kill robomando?

[warm lion]

when you put the battery in he takes your items

[winged heart]

Oh

alr so I was worried for nothing XD

[warm lion]

yeah the only item that breaks it is prophets cape

but they might have fixed that one im not sure

[winged heart]

ah alr

now for the "fun" part

waiting for 22:00

[next axle]

what's acrid's alt primary?

[eager stratus]

does damage and makes them take more dmg from all sources for a few secs

[deep rover]

i feel that ones more useful in multiplayer

[onyx steeple]

anyone knows where in the providence trials the ones for the drifter are? don't rll want to unlock a bunch of them if I don't need to

[warm lion]

middle right

[onyx steeple]

thx!

[nova idol]

What pilot setup do you guys run?

[winged heart]

I've learned pilot is super flexible with any loadout

but the dash is heacily suggested!

*heavily

[nova idol]

because of the wavedash tech?

[lyric quiver]

are they gonna add other skins for the Robomando? I completed the Judgement trial with him and am kinda sad that there isnt a provi skin for him

[fathom walrus]

I prefer the second primary, and I guess Aerobatics is mandatory at this point due to the tech(plus it feels way better to play with than parachute).
Second Special is "meh..." in my opinion.

[winged heart]

yea

btw does anyone know that if you screw up the battery rift chest with the 2nd run do I have to restart the run? or Restart the whole process?

bc I missed the battery rift chest in stage 2

[cerulean python]

i like the second special. kiting enemies onto mines isnt as easy without parachute whereas aerial support you can just throw at a dude in the horde and itll hit everybody, against bosses its also rlly easy to use for some extra damage, and can be fired from wall cling which is nice.

[nova idol]

Parachute has been fun so far, havent unlocked the dash yet

will need to get i suppose

[winged heart]

oh yeah dash is worth all the hassle for pilot

its also supper busted when you give pilot at least 2 red whips

it makes dash CRAZY good

[topaz temple]

does chef have a prism? if so, does anyone know where?

[zenith garden]

The chest keeps spawning until you open it

[zenith garden]

There’s a provi skin for him but it’s not accessible yet

[winged heart]

thank heavens

[winged heart]

does it spawn in normal locations?

(Its really hard to find it in fungal caverns for me ;-;)

[zenith garden]

Only on that stage but ye

[cold nest]

has anyone experienced connection timeout when trying to play online coop with a friend? im on switch btw

[zenith garden]

You pick it up on stage 2 and Take it to stage 4

[winged heart]

yeah fungal caverns is stage 2

I found the battery btw! (thank god)

[zenith garden]

Ah good good

[sonic crown]

some of the stage variants are new to this remake, turning it off will only give you the 2013 stages

[bleak adder]

it also makes some things like finding acrid, a few artifacts/secrets, a few bosses for specific unlocks and prisms for secret skins easier

[sterile horizon]

is the 56 leaf clover stack actually just +1.5%? so like, if you had 10000 of them (basically if you had 100%), every elite would give you an item?

or is it some other scaling thing

[zenith garden]

Nobody is sure yet

[urban mauve]

I'm down to just one area log for 100% completion (Ancient Valley #5), but I'm not sure what I'm looking for to find it. I think I'm on the right variant at least since I don't remember this one, but I really can't tell.

[zenith garden]

There will be maps for all of them on the wiki Very soon

[urban mauve]

I was hopeful for that tbh since the maps are all viewable in the environment logs now.

[waxen drift]

Is it possible to have multiple profiles for RoR Returns?

[deep rover]

does this ability keep spreading beyond the intital split or is that it?

[bleak adder]

it does

[wicked sparrow]

each target can only be affected by each cast once but it will spread indefinitely if there are enough new targets

[zenith garden]

And the first hit on each enemy can proc items

[next axle]

are we gonna get dlc for this? it's honestly way more fun than 2

[sonic crown]

are the new stage variants 4-6?

[waxen meadow]

whats ||robomando||

[next axle]

secret character

[honest plover]

||secret character||
see #theorycrafting pins

[waxen meadow]

ah

seems like rex with extra steps

[ionic geyser]

is massacre bugged?

[alpine vault]

has anyone brought up how magma worm is horrible now

this is in completely unmodified no artifacts default monsoon

[ionic geyser]

i think this is just drifter being drifter tbh

[alpine vault]

he's like this against other characters too

all of his hitboxes are just moving so fast they all get hit by the same instance of damage

he's got less hp than a lemurian

[ionic geyser]

i swear i can fire a flamethrower into a group of 100 jellyfish and still not get this achievement

[hidden belfry]

what are the good items for judgement

[sterile horizon]

how do you get more keycards in the final stage?

trying to get the 4 keycards achievement

[hidden belfry]

from enemies

[sterile horizon]

dang, is it just luck based

[hidden belfry]

yuh

[stiff wing]

anyone else felling like red drops are rarer after the last update? i had a few gameplays with like 1hr with no red at all

[sterile horizon]

Im not noticing any change

[mild sun]

going to do beam engi achievement, does sacrifice mess with directory for interactable for drones at all?

I wanna know if its faster with or without sacrifice

[zenith garden]

They have to all die to one tick of damage

[ionic geyser]

joy

[mild sun]

you can make lemurians spawn while teleport is on, wait for a good amount to pile up, go inside the pile and tank a few hits while charging your secondary and go boom

[wary oak]

"horrible now"
yea nah that's just worms and anything that can pierce, normal day in risk of rain really

[mild sun]

I don't really understand worm either, sometimes they hit on only on ground but sometimes they can hit my mid air when before they couldn't. I always flip the coin with worm on judgement too.

[topaz temple]

when looping, can you encounter different stage variants or am i just getting really unlucky

[wary oak]

luck, nothin locks in specific stage variants unless you turn off the new ones, and even then that's still just a tossup between the original variants

[topaz temple]

dang, my luck really sucks then lol

i've got the new ones on but i have encountered the same variants of valley and barracks like three times now

[wary oak]

yeah, i had/have that kinda luck in RoR1 Starstorm and the new hive cluster variant
think i never got command unlocked because of it

okay, apparently i did get it at some point, but the fact i dont remember that says a bit

[topaz temple]

i've been trying to grab three prisms for so long on those stages

[mild sun]

i gave up on focusing on just prisms and just got the prisms when the variants showed up on doing other achievements

[wary oak]

yeah that's about the way to do it

otherwise the repetition of mashing resets can and will drive you insane

[woeful aurora]

are the stages meant to be as big as they are? is is going to be changed?

[sterile horizon]

is there a way to zoom out the providence trials screen?

[sterile horizon]

yes, its how risk of rain 1 is

once you learn the stage layouts, they feel less big

cause you know where to go

[woeful aurora]

i thought they were a bit smaller in ror1?

[sterile horizon]

nah they've always been this big

[old snow]

im doing a command run in hopes of unlocking miner and drifter what should i grab to be able to tank the lava

[zenith garden]

honestly 1/2 health vials is enough

[ebon dragon]

I assume this achieve is for the Miner?

or is this a different status

[lyric field]

yes

[ebon dragon]

is it just a bug that it doesn't define Miner?

[lyric field]

yeah i guess the achievement should say Miner:, i just know its an alt unlock in game for the special (or the secondary? ive forgotten lmao)

[wary oak]

oversight i assume

[ebon dragon]

i'll bug report it I huess since there's no reason it should say Miner:

[sonic crown]

whats the time frame on a multikill? like how fast i gotta waste 15 enemies as arti for it to count

[zenith garden]

1 tick of damage

[mild sun]

@sonic crown

[fathom walrus]

I wonder, whats the "right" way to play in your opinion?
Classic/Modern?
Artifacts?

[worn sky]

modern

monsoon

no artifacts

[ocean gale]

What do the 6 white dots that surround your character mean? Think I got it from an item but not sure which one

[wary oak]

repulsion armor sounds like, tracks how many hits before it's effect activates

[ocean gale]

Gotcha, I remember getting that item. Thank you for the help!

[wary oak]

np

[limpid pumice]

what's the highest possible score for emergency ejection?

[hazy shoal]

are whorls a new enemy or can i disable new enemies for the challenge

[patent jasper]

is the optimal reload timing for sniper in the purple instead of the white

[wary oak]

whorls are not a new enemy, so you can disable new ones just fine

[limpid pumice]

perfect reloads are white

[patent jasper]

thanks i was watching someone run sniper on monsoon and hitting all their reloads in purple and thought i was a fool the whole time

[somber mica]

What does the purple mean then

[river lantern]

Does anyone know if the drone upgraders that take 3 drones count towards getting Drifter?

[tender gazelle]

no you have to scrap them

[cosmic maple]

scrapping the unique drone from drone repair kit does count towards the drifter unlock, even though you don't get an item for scrapping it. in case you're having trouble finding 6

[elder patrol]

Interestingly, the drone from Arms Race does give you an item if you scrap it

And it spawns a new one after each stage if it got destroyed

[hazy shoal]

how do i reach this log?

[sullen linden]

iirc there's a secret entrance further up above that lets you drop down

[grand dagger]

does killing providence while backflipping

at his phase1

counts?

or must it be at the last phase?

[hazy shoal]

awesome got it, thank you

[hazy shoal]

you can get it from phase 1, 3 or 4

[grand dagger]

ah alright

ty

[hazy shoal]

i got it from first phase, doll is real easy to get it with

[ebon dragon]

my strat for getting the backflip was just play command and stack afterburners and AOEs and DOTs
then you can backflip like 20 times in a row while he dies lol

[grand dagger]

when youre trying to be killed by robomando what happens if another mob took the last hit?

[lethal hamlet]

he doesn't need to kill you. you just have to die after activating him. the fastest way is to have him kill you but it doesn't really matter

i died to lava and still got it

i don't even know if you have to die. i think you might just need to activate him, ive heard people say they killed him and still got it

[pure shale]

https://riskofrain.fandom.com/wiki/Risk_of_Rain_(Level)?file=ROR.png

How do i get this chest? I cant find any rope to go down

wiki says theres a hidden rope

ah all the way up there tyvm

[ebon dragon]

i killed him and definitely did not get it unfortunately

[faint basalt]

so i kill 50 in whole run?

[gray scroll]

does it Iligan?

[old snow]

just unlocked miner, what's the gameplan with this guy

do i build to facetank everything

[elder patrol]

His dashes have i-frames

Build up heat to go monke

[cerulean python]

you wanna be scorching as much as possible esentially. you build heat by hitting primary attacks and when you hit max you go scorching which buffs you in a lot of ways. so you wanna use backblast and drill to get safe hits in to build heat then once scorching m2 has no cooldown so you can "tap drill", instead of holding for i frame spam which also does damage.

[mild sun]

his strongest ability is m2, which allows him to glide across the map

[mild sun]

but yeah this pretty much

[old snow]

understood

is this the cheese spot for go on without me

[elder patrol]

Yes

[glacial sierra]

Is this only not getting hurt during activating the third teleporter or the entire run until you beat it?

[tender gazelle]

latter

[cerulean python]

entire run, though i forget if you just need to start the event or need to leave the stage

[elder patrol]

Entire run from stage 1 to 3

Glass is useful here

[sacred fox]

You just have to activate that third teleporter not beat it w/out damage.

[wet relic]

anybody know how to get the mocha item?

for more speed and attack speed

[elder patrol]

Get to lvl 20

You gonna need to loop to reach that point

[wet relic]

o i see

thanks

[pearl onyx]

You don't strictly need to loop. It's level 20, not stage 20. You can also just farm a stage with sacrifice.

[glacial sierra]

Did it, thank you. For future reference you only need to start the event for you to get the achievement

[woeful aurora]

can you see records of your individual runs anywhere like you could in ror2?

[pearl onyx]

Yes, in statistics, although there is a limited history. Eventually older runs are deleted.

[old snow]

miner's pretty fun so far but i dont get how to not die when im in there beating the crap out of everything around me

[leaden dagger]

ok so i hope someone knows what im talking about theres a place on a certain variant of the final stage with a gold chest in a wall how do you get in there

[elder patrol]

i-frames from M2 and default utility would help with that

[elder patrol]

Which variant?

[leaden dagger]

i have no idea, but its this chest https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/382219701595668481/1176155146581983232/image.png?ex=656dd6d6&is=655b61d6&hm=b7827cb776ac2e815a70404acd07546b0c6de24cacd0dfd0d8301fd922d647f3&=&width=752&height=702

[old snow]

ohhh i thought it was just 3rd skill that had iframes thanks

[old snow]

you can drop down into there from the 2nd (from the top) loading bay

if it's the one that's between 2nd and 3rd

[elder patrol]

Ye

Or below

If you have enough jumps lol but yeah check above for the way down

[sturdy widget]

is perfect reloading on sniper just hitting the purple part of it

or is it getting the line between purple and white

[elder patrol]

White part I think

[sturdy widget]

the white is the better one to get?

[elder patrol]

Yes

Hmm I'm not sure, I forgot

[fervent copper]

It is definitely hitting the white

[elder patrol]

But I assume the white is most damage bc how hard to time it immediately

[sturdy widget]

ive been aiming for purple this entire time 💀

[fervent copper]

I got that achievement yesterday, hitting the white every time

[wide swift]

I cant tell if i like blinding assault or skyward assault more on merc

[elder patrol]

Skyward is useful for more vertical movement.

Blinding has more i-frames if you chain it

[wide swift]

True but blinding feels more consistent and yea

I frames

[elder patrol]

Also skyward ground slam like Dead Cells lol

[woven locust]

how long does judgment take

[elder patrol]

Depends, certain characters would struggle with it more

[fervent copper]

20+ minutes usually

[woven locust]

pilot for example

like maybe half an hour?

[elder patrol]

20 -30 mins average

[woven locust]

oh ok

thanks

[elder patrol]

Robomando took me an hour

[woven locust]

jeez

[elder patrol]

Idk why but I like to torture myself

[fervent copper]

That’s the same for most characters to be fair

[elder patrol]

My Sniper run took me 10 mins

[fervent copper]

Bc sniper

[elder patrol]

Bc beeg damage

[woven locust]

what item do you think is best in the first selection

[wide swift]

And dead cells sucks 😭

[elder patrol]

BS, dead cells fucking goated dude

[woven locust]

me when opinions exist

[wide swift]

Tbh its probably just a skill issue

Ive never been a fan of souls combat

And also

Holy shit is the game ugly

Ig its kinda on purpose

Tbh

But still

[elder patrol]

I'ma sacrifice you later

Jk

[woven locust]

why do you think that?

[gleaming pier]

anyone else feel like parents are a bit extreme with artifact of spite?

[strong idol]

tipical parent, overreacting

[elder patrol]

Any big enemies spawn a shit ton of spite bombs

So yeah, take cover

[gleaming pier]

yeah i was working on getting artifact of origin. finally got it last night

[elder patrol]

Pilot is the man to get Origin bc his m2

[strong idol]

is the unlock the same method as in ror1?

[gleaming pier]

yeah i did it as pilot

[strong idol]

I did that with stacking barbed wire on stage1

[gleaming pier]

i tried at first to do merc then commando but failed a lot

[limber mantle]

do the hidden skins count towards the 100% completion in the stats tab?

[ebon dragon]

I did it as loader and my run ended up like this lmao

[mighty rapids]

yo mercenary alt ult after image says that it stacks twice, what does that mean and how

[elder patrol]

It does

[elder patrol]

I can only assume via Amethyst

[limber mantle]

damn final trial grind will be tough

[elder patrol]

Ye

GL lol

[limber mantle]

do you need gold crowns on every trial too?

[ebon dragon]

not required for anything

only need 15 golds for rewards

[limber mantle]

That’s a relief at least

Ye I got that

[gleaming pier]

I got clay men on stage 5 & ship

[pearl onyx]

I can't speak for prism skins, but you do not need the judgement skins, nor getting gold on all trials.

[wide swift]

Looks sooo gross

[sturdy widget]

what counts as "in combat" for this. constantly getting attacked?

[woeful aurora]

taking or dealing damage

[heavy jungle]

Kinda bullshit that blocking attacks doesn't put you in combat

[spiral salmon]

iirc holding the fire button works but not sure

[glacial sierra]

you can just fire at a wall for 5 minutes, it worked for me

i had enemies on the map that couldn't reach me but I doubt that matters

[woven locust]

can you stack scepters

[gleaming pier]

I used artifact of kin till i got wisps on dry beach and just stood where they kept shooting the shield for 5 min

[slender isle]

you can. they reduce your special skill cooldown

[woven locust]

oh great

[sturdy widget]

just got it, shooting worked

[strong idol]

so still cheesable just not full afk

[violet viper]

Anyone known how to get the artificer 15 multi kill, ive done it multiple times but won't give me the achievement

[strong idol]

doing it with golden bomb is one way

[violet viper]

Im confused cause they the way I've tried is with smart bomb and group all the enemies that spawn during teleport boss, I'll try bomb and see

Nano bomb not smart bomb

[rough shard]

how do I unlock the infusion item

[slender isle]

unlocked by default

[strong idol]

does acrid's pandemic work properly? In ror1 it doesnt

[zenith garden]

They have to all die to one tick of damage

[violet viper]

Is nanobomb multiple tick? Cause i thought it was a single hit

[slender isle]

I got the unlock using nanobomb

so it does work

[violet viper]

Idk why it won't work for me then, i had like 25 enemies group and kill them with nano

[winged trench]

anyone having fps problems only while watching youtube ?

[harsh furnace]

Hey, I acquired the beam drone, but didn't unlock engineer's achievement. What the fuck.

[languid aurora]

Ummm are there any documentations of super crazy multiplayer bugs?

[burnt gate]

Why is sniper so hard ?

[zenith garden]

That’s a laser drone

[gleaming pier]

I think that is a lazer drone and you need the upgraded version for it to count

[harsh furnace]

are you fucking kidding me

[slender isle]

because flying enemies exist

[harsh furnace]

😔

[zenith garden]

Time to find 2 more

[burnt gate]

I still struggle in stage 1 - 3 with sniper tho

Even when there aren't flying enemies

[strong idol]

a beam drone can spawn on the final stage but it's random

better to find 3 laser drones

[woven locust]

tips for judgement?

[slender isle]

use your primary fire as much as you can. backflip bunnyhop from hordes of enemies

[glacial sierra]

How do I get this log?

[slender isle]

should get you through most of the game by itself

[woven locust]

the wall

has a hole

im pretty sure

[glacial sierra]

the hole is just for the artifact i think

cant grab any hidden ropes here at least

[burnt gate]

I do try to use my primary fire but he doesn't do a lot of damage compared to other characters

[lethal hamlet]

remembering to use your special?

[burnt gate]

Yeah

[slender isle]

primary fire as sniper is insanely strong

as long as you don't wait for the reload to go all the way right and then back

you have to be hitting it right when it begins reloading and landing in white or purple

[burnt gate]

I see, thanks for the help

[mystic swallow]

is there a way to bind an action to two keys?

[peak cypress]

Is there a drone tier higher than the t3 golden drones?

Like can you combine 3 golden drones?

[fickle hound]

how does attack speed work on artificer? does it make the chakrams tick faster while they're out?

[rough shard]

do i just have to find infusion without command so i can choose it with command?

[slender isle]

nope you should be able to pick it

it looks different than in ror1 and ror2

[pure shale]

how do i get this log

the ropes below dont seem to have platforms, neither does above the waterfall

[lethal hamlet]

you see those ropes in the wall next to it?

climb up the one on the right

you can jump off in the wall

[pure shale]

o jump off ok

ah right got it thanks, had to find the exact moment to jump off

[short lark]

Is it possible to change the skill set of a character on the final trial

[harsh furnace]

Hi besties

I have a question

Who the fuck uses prescriptions over shattered mirror ✨

[lethal hamlet]

stopwatch > los dos

[harsh furnace]

One is a 50% boost for 8 seconds, the other is 100% boost for 15 seconds

[harsh furnace]

90% of the time yes

Btw has anyone tried the funny strategy of infinite time stop

[novel tendon]

Whose the best survivor to drown 20 whorls with? Also is it worth it to gamble the Kin Artifact to only spawn Whorls

[languid aurora]

@novel tendon for me, it was chef. His secondary ability pushes enemies back. That with sone backup mags and patience makes it easy.

[pure shale]

What about this one any1 know how to get this log

[rough shard]

how does unlocking abilities work

[languid aurora]

@pure shale up and to the right

[mild sun]

Do the thing, it unlocks, equip it next run

[languid aurora]

Look around there

[mild sun]

If it says [CHARACTER]:, you have to do it with that character

[pure shale]

how far up? I've tried to go right/down all the way up and cant seem to find it

ah i have to make sure to not climb the rope on the wall and jump from a diff platform

[sonic storm]

is it known what tier of item does a golden drone give when recycled?

I could only assume its a red but if its just one red I wouldnt wanna give it up

[slender isle]

I feel like a golden drone is better to have than most red items anyway

[harsh furnace]

Enforcer lol

[harsh furnace]

lol
lmao
rofl even

[old snow]

does cape proc on iframes

[slender isle]

I'm taking a golden drone over a random red any day of the week. I don't know how is that a hot take

[harsh furnace]

Red will never betray you

[sonic storm]

The little guy with dual machineguns being golded does quite a noticable amount of damage

especially with commandos knife skill

[fast hazel]

Go random red
Get Old Box

[sturdy widget]

is there a limit on how many blocks can be placed by drifter

[forest temple]

How do you unlock artifact of origin?

[candid hemlock]

Does risk of rain returns have local multiplayer on the switch?

[novel tendon]

Clear the game using every other OG RoR artifact (so everything except for the last 4 listed in the artifact menu)

[elder patrol]

For reference: Command, Sacrifice, Glass, Spite, Distortion, Enigma, Spirit, Honor, Kin

You can do it on Drizzle, not necessarily on Monsoon

[brazen minnow]

Anyone got the file names for every item? I want to unlock the items you get from survivor challenges cuz I wanna finish this up and redownload RoR2, all I wanna do is win as every survivor to read the logs and view the art, but before that I want to get every item, to increase my chances of winning

But at the same time I wanna play RoR2 asap

[elder patrol]

Why not have both? Limited space?

[brazen minnow]

Oh no, it's not that

I just feel like finishing this game and get done with it, because honestly I'm only playing RoRR to support the devs

I still prefer RoR2 much more

In fact, playing RoRR makes me wanna play RoR2 even more

Cuz it's been a while since I last played it

Like a year

[elder patrol]

Understandable, meanwhile I enjoy Returns more than 2

[brazen minnow]

Also understandable

[elder patrol]

But I play both

[brazen minnow]

We all got our tastes

[elder patrol]

Already 100% everything on 2, including Eclipse 8 as every characters

[brazen minnow]

Daaamn

[elder patrol]

Gotta wait for the new dlc lol

[brazen minnow]

I never managed to do that, sheesh

[brazen minnow]

Same! It's mainly what made me want to replay the game from scratch

But first I wanna read the survivor's logs in RoRR

For that sweet lore

[elder patrol]

I think the wiki has that covered already

[brazen minnow]

You know what, fuck it, I'll just go for it, I don't need every item unlocked

[elder patrol]

The Returns wiki

[brazen minnow]

I'll try to win without getting every item

Such as Aegis

WHY is the challenge for it on Artificer

Smh

[brazen minnow]

Yea but it's not as satisfying

[slender isle]

Is it less satisfying than playing a game you're not really enjoying

[brazen minnow]

I mean...I'm enjoying the game, just not as much as RoR2

I really like the 3d part

Hmmm but you make a fair point

I'll try a few more runs with other characters, if I still get too frustrated I'll just read the lore on the wiki

[strong idol]

does acrid's pandemic work properly? in ror1 it's bugged

[magic glacier]

seems to work well enough, easy to get its achievement and everything, spreads as expected

[wintry comet]

For any achievements that require you to not get "hurt" or get "hurt" only once does that include shields like guardians heart

[strong idol]

in 1 you seemingly get a comically large healing orb but it doesn't actually heal

[magic glacier]

i know wha youre talking about, comically large orbs are still found in places like medbay, but they all actually heal me when i get them lol

theyve done a good job at patching stuff, but according to my friend sometimes when he kills a lemurian it goes flying off screen

[winter pilot]

what is the "moon walk" mechanic?

i heard people talking about it and im confused as to what it is

[buoyant venture]

Artificer's spear seems to have one more second of CD compared to nanobomb and one less second of stun 🤔

[prisma arrow]

What does ||artifact of origin|| do?

Or ||artifact of prestige||?

[untold lark]

hello sorry to bother but i had a question if anyone can help me about it. my game keep freezing for no reason even in the menu i just can't play the game it sometime stop for like 1 min and then start freezing once again
plz help

[harsh furnace]

One spawns a boss imp every 10 minutes, the other makes mountain challenges permanent

[prisma arrow]

ah

[bleak adder]

for ||origin, it makes imps(?) spawn on the stage every 10 minutes||
for ||prestige, it makes a mountain shrine guaranteed to spawn on every stage, and also makes them permanently enabled for the entire run||

[supple stratus]

I seem to be missing something, how does the sear/flambe 20 sand crabs achievement work? do I have to sear them and then use the cook ability on them???

[slender isle]

kill them with your secondary

the flame attack

[prisma arrow]

it's not just sand crabs is it? I didn't remember doing it for just them

[supple stratus]

thanks

[bleak adder]

you don't need to oil them up, but it does help with damage

[arctic hatch]

I never played risk of rain original and I want to know if enforcer is good I heard he got buffed since the last but that he was bad in the last one so is he good now

[untold lark]

hello sorry to bother but i had a question if anyone can help me about it. my game keep freezing for no reason even in the menu i just can't play the game it sometime stop for like 1 min and then start freezing once again
plz help

[strong idol]

i still find enforcer weak, his shield idea is cute and all but volatile rockets, overloading elites, jellies make it not that viable

[fossil elm]

Spear's supposed to stun?

[buoyant venture]

IIRC from my testing, second hit does 🤔

First hit stun for sure

Second hit too

Hopoo and descriptions of items/skills 💀

[fossil elm]

second hit? I thought you could only hit enemies once with it

[vagrant sapphire]

How can you reliably break drifters cube? Seems like a meme ability but maybe I’m not getting it

[fossil elm]

either it pierces or it doesn't

[buoyant venture]

Yeah I meant that the first ennemy then second ennemy. But yeah all hits of spear stuns for 5s~

[fossil elm]

5 seconds definitely doesn't sound right, I remember it not stunning anyone and I thought it was a pretty mediocre weapon

[buoyant venture]

Might be

this stun?

Oh might be my bad, stun small monster 🤔

[supple stratus]

with the achievement to reach level 10 on miner without being hurt more than once, is that in reference to not going below full or literally any source of damage

[buoyant venture]

Wait what

My bad it doesn't stun

seems like low HP lizard get stunned

confusing

[slender isle]

any source of damage

fall damage will fuck up the achievement

[supple stratus]

wtf

So I have to unlock glass pretty much

is what youre saying

[old pewter]

no

thats parkour

[slender isle]

yeah it sucks without glass

[distant brook]

yooo

I'm a returning player, had 100% game progress in RoR1... 8 years ago? 😅

I feel RoR:R has way less chests, and the TP is harder to find. Or it's my bad memory.

My general strategy has been look for TP => Loot during the 90s of the TP only => Go to next stage

Is that usually how it should go? I can beat rainstorm but not sure the "optimal behaviour"

[slender isle]

You can full loot on rainstorm just fine. The game is more difficult than ror1 in general

More elites and enemies are more agile

[distant brook]

Gotcha

I feel my. damage is super super low all the time, even on rainstorm. Maybe I just need a few unlocs (literally played 3 times so far)

[slender isle]

I didn't really feel an issue of low damage when I installed rorr and I've been playing through ror1 literally a week before rorr released

[distant brook]

could be bad luck 🤷

[slender isle]

But I would agree going for unlocks, at least certain ones, improves the experience

[distant brook]

btw, for all the unlocks that require a lot of movement... looping is my friend, right? It's been ages since I played RoR1

[slender isle]

Idk if there's all that many movement related unlocks

I'd say get glass, command and kin before seriously going for unlocks

and even then with the difficulty sliders they added glass isn't as important

command's good enough for most unlocks and it's really easy to get

[distant brook]

difficulty sliders? 🤔

[slender isle]

you can choose how much damage is dealt and received

[distant brook]

oh didnt see that

btw what's the general strategy for command? is that written somehwre?

[feral root]

Alt. Font 🤮

[slender isle]

I'm sorry my eyesight is bad

[slender isle]

just pray you get the right stage variant

[feral root]

Nevermind now I feel bad 😭

[distant brook]

I mean, after unlocking it, the order of items

[slender isle]

oh yeah I see

you can just look at the wiki and see whatever's the most powerful

or easiest to unlock

depending on how you want to go about things

[glossy grove]

how many achievements requires playing on monsoon?

[slender isle]

I think it's just one

[wary oak]

yeah only one is with merc

[onyx steeple]

clusterfire or rapid fire for pilot?

[unkempt arrow]

how does attack speed work on sniper?

[cerulean python]

i like rapid fire but they're both good. rapid is notably better for providence

[cerulean python]

increases the speed of the shot/reload animation iirc, and definitely increases the speed of the reload bar. forget if it increases speed of steady aim charge or not.

[marsh saddle]

what's a good way to stay in shield (in combat) with enforcer for 5 minutes straight? i either kill everything too soon or die

[sturdy widget]

you can just hold shoot and it will count

did it earlier like this

[marsh saddle]

nice ty

[raven nebula]

hey quick question

does bandit have a hidden passive or something?

[slender isle]

nope

other than the primary attack being faster if you buttonmash if you don't have rapid fire togged on in your settings

[raven nebula]

interesting because im getting some sort of crit chance increase

i dont even got any crit on me

[slender isle]

everyone has 1% base crit chance

and I think bandit might have crit chance increase built into his level up stats

It was bugged in ror1 but I'm guessing they fixed it to work properly

[deft sinew]

is there a way to guarantee a beam drone during a run ?

[raven nebula]

thats funny

thanks for the answer

[slender isle]

it was coded to be 0.015% crit chance increase per level

someone thought it translated to 1.5%

it didn't

[raven nebula]

i think its needed for someone like bandit

lights out just falls of later on

[slender isle]

bandit is much nicer to play in rorr

I hated playing him in ror1

[raven nebula]

a bit more damage from that atleast somewhat helps him out

i think he just needs a grace period for that skill

[slender isle]

the alt skill is a bit better I think

you can just shoot it into the crowd and if it happens to land you get a damage boost

lights out chains just don't work in 2d ror

[raven nebula]

tru on that

[slender isle]

I don't think there's any character I actively hate in rorr

huntress comes close

[raven nebula]

arti i feel is better in rorr

butttttt shes still clunky in my opinion

[bleak adder]

me watching lights out leave an enemy at low hp and knock them back into the horde knowing full well that i will never be able to kill that enemy for the lights out buff again

[slender isle]

Just doesn't feel like she has a lot of impact compared to other survivors

[mild rose]

didn't get his alt special yet so just going off the concept of it rather than functionality; can chef cook and eat providence?

[arctic shoal]

Proc chains dont exist in this game right

Eg atg cant trigger uke etc

[mild rose]

I think they do, they didn't in old ror though

[arctic shoal]

if they do i am definitely not noticing it at all lol

[uncut sparrow]

How does the item stacking work. In the item logs it says that the hermit scarf gives you 10% but if you have 10 it doesnt grant you invincibility. So how does it stack?

[mild rose]

iirc in original (assuming its not a Starstorm thing) hermit scarf caps at 6

[grim stream]

Acrid tips?

[bleak adder]

hitting with m1 is dangerous in large crowds, acrid doesn't have any iframes like the other melee survivors do

try focusing on spreading around aoe with utility and special, and then m1 isolated targets that you know you can handle without getting instantly murked

also, m2 is great for crowd control and getting breathing room, being strong and having that stun, so make sure to abuse that often

[topaz temple]

must be a starstorm thing, wiki says scarf stacks hyperbolically just like tougher times in ror2

[warm lion]

i think the cap was just how ror1 did it from what i remember

[topaz temple]

ope wait i might've misread your message

[warm lion]

but yeah it is hyperbolic in returns

[topaz temple]

ah yeah i see that now

i auto assumed they meant in returns lmao

[tropic kernel]

do these not count??

or maybe i already have wicked ring and im just stupid

[slender isle]

Temp items might act weird

Temp cards are actually 100% bugged

Because a single temp card can open 4 doors

[tropic kernel]

theyre not prioritized over regular ones tho

for some stupid reason

[slender isle]

So they're clearly behaving in an unusual way

[grim stream]

Thanks @bleak adder!

[bleak adder]

aye, np

[tropic kernel]

is it possible ot get more than 4 keycards in 1 run

[bleak adder]

acrid's super fun once you figure him out

[tropic kernel]

also whats the keycard drop chance

[hasty trench]

hello, is there any secret object here or is it just this?

[gilded pebble]

Any of y’all got tips on unlocking engi’s alt turret?

[slender isle]

Just loop. There's no real trick to it

[cerulean python]

to add to what tank said. acrid's melee happens to be really fast, so you can do even a small jump>melee and not lose momentum, which can help tack on damage whenever passing by enemies or you can use it more intentfully and cross them up repeatedly, though that gets more risky and not rlly worth it when in crowds unless you have a hopoo or something to make it safer

[slender isle]

Or play engi and pray you see a beam drone in stage 6

I've seen them twice in fifty hours played

[cerulean python]

yeah just put on command, glass if u want though keep in mind drones will die very easily, 200% dmg 10% taken, grab a lot of movement items (mocha, red whip etc) while makimg sure to scale dmg enough, then you can blitz through the levels looking for the laser drones to combine into a beam drone

[lethal bone]

anyone have any tips for this one

[slender isle]

Artifact of kin for lemurians, glass or 200% damage in settings. Gather 10 lemurians, press the big hammer button. Done

[lethal bone]

ty ! Im on it

[gleaming pier]

can anyone confirm logbook enemy drops on command? im hunting for a couple of the boss logs and cannot seem to get a single one

asking because I heard drifter can recycle logs into white items and im concerned that the logs are getting turned into comand potentals

[manic hazel]

How much of a drop chance for Providence's logbook? Is there some increase the longer I'm in a run?

[gleaming pier]

know idea. I got it first try so could never test it

[manic hazel]

Luckyy

[ancient turtle]

Nah been running command all the time and logs seem to drop fine

[arctic hatch]

How do I get gold drone for Han D

[arctic hatch]

Imp challenge with you killing 8 of them and have 2 nearby enemies

[cerulean python]

loop for 3 attack drones, then combine them. medical drones might work too not sure but i know 3 attack drones = gilded attack drone

can do command, drizzle and rule changes to make it easier too ofc

[wary oak]

assault drones are the most common for looping

[rough shard]

does anyone know of a video tutorial on how to get all pilots moves

[lilac pecan]

for the the 300 item/ 3000 kill/25 level for unlock new skill on survivor, the amount of item/kill/level have to do in one game ?

[spiral salmon]

this game really needs artifact of chaos

even though it would be super mega non functional

engi alt turrets artifact of chaos

[rapid rock]

Does anyone know what this area on hivecluster 3 is for? I only seem to be ale to drop into the void

[ionic cargo]

What is the best way to unlock mocha (aka whats an easy way to get to level 20 in a run)

[rough shard]

how do i unlock pilots move of killing 30 enemies after they are launched into the air

[zenith garden]

After you launch things with your bombs you can secondary at them. They don’t have to all be in the same run

[ionic cargo]

@rough shard stack backup mags and after you launch enemies with the mines just hold down secondary

[languid aurora]

@zenith garden lord that would be torture if it was in one run…

[wraith fjord]

is there something in this room?

dont tell me what it is if there is

[zenith garden]

There can be something in that room

It’s not always there tho

[waxen meadow]

are there any general tips for this game or is it just a learn via death thing

since i can’t consistently make it to stage 3

[zenith garden]

Learning the movement and getting used to that is a big part

[cerulean python]

jumping is strong. a lot of grounded enemies will just miss if you jump spam and move past

[wraith fjord]

is it rng?

[slender isle]

keeping a group of enemies to one side of you instead of surrounding you is really strong. It's much easier to avoid damage then while you use abilities that either pierce or push them back

[zenith garden]

Nope

[upper lynx]

does blocking attacks on Enforcer activate medkit?

[slender isle]

you need to take damage for medkit to activate

[upper lynx]

does Miner's burnout skill count?

[slender isle]

haven't tried but I bet it does

[dull pier]

Rather than looping, I just spammed games with glass and 200% dmg to get to the UES Contact Light fast. It has a decent chance of spawning maxed drones including the beam drone.

[rough shard]

@ionic cargo it worked thanks

also I did it in one run

[lilac pecan]

to unlock a skill for the sniper, i need to beat 3rd stage wihout collecting item or equipement
can i use drone ?
can i use artifact ?

[lapis gorge]

didnt they say team moonstorm also developed this game as well

the people who made starstorm 2

[atomic patrol]

can you do local and lan together?
like one person on one laptop next to two people on one laptop on the same wifi ??

[grim stream]

I’m struggling to unlock miner, I’ve turned off new stage variants in the rules but I haven’t even been to the magma barracks let alone gotten the right variant.

[paper snow]

is Artifact of Swarms in this game?

[fathom walrus]

I feel awful playing Miner, any tips? Loadout?

[stray rapids]

hints for the final trial with sniper?

[rough shard]

how do I fully complete a survivor

[topaz temple]

i have no idea if it's bad luck or if stages are weighted differently in teleporting there, but it seems a lot of people are having trouble getting to barracks

[zenith garden]

Unlock all their skills and challenges plus complete a run with them

[upper lynx]

does wire apply on-hit effects?

[cerulean python]

when not scorching you need to find safe ways to build heat. backblast is the simplest, allowing you to get some safe crushes in while enemies are stunned, and if you can group them up with drill beforehand even better, though try not to use up mich if any heat. other than that good movement can help you get swings in without getting hit. hold jump>crush extremely quickly will allow you to do the whole swing animation before landing so you dont lose any momentum and can get a hit as you pass an enemy. also can spam it on enemies that flinch of course.

once scorching things get a lot easier bc drill has no cd so you can spam tap the button for the i frames, damage and knockback, with a powerful strat being to group up a bunch of enemies against a wall to backblast then crush and maybe to the stars as well. then you can spam drill again to stay safe while waiting for backblast cooldown. against grounded enemies you can sometimes spam to the stars as well since it keeps you in the air a lot, though bear in mind the heat cost.

i cant really say much abt alt kit since i dont use it but alt primary then default everything else seems like a valid way to make heat gain safer/easier while still having the powerful default moves

[tropic pebble]

what do I unlock for beating an overloading magma worm as loader

[cerulean python]

giant amethyst. 8 sec cooldown equipment that resets all ur ability cooldowns

[tropic pebble]

thanks

[elder patrol]

Very good equipment and formerly broke bandit lol

[fathom walrus]

Thanks!

[elder patrol]

Anyone knows if you have to adjust some resolution settings so I can see the entire trial page?

[zealous lynx]

during the "beat x amount of stages" challenges, is it any stages, or stage variants?

[elder patrol]

Ye

[true magnet]

Do i have to do the prophets cape unlock " dodge seven lethal attacks as commabdo" in one run or can i do it seperate

[slender isle]

it can be seperate

[true magnet]

Thanks

[woeful ginkgo]

does boar beach exist and how do you get to it

[sour dew]

Hey uh what is up with the shadow demon clay men in monsoon

[slender isle]

monsoon gets a new type of elite monsters called blights. Blighted enemies have 2 elite modifiers and much higher stats

a blighted sand crab will literally just one shot you

[sour dew]

Jinkies!

[zenith garden]

So far we know it has 7x the base health

[pale frigate]

Hey! anyone knows if Burnout counts as getting hurt? its for the miner achievement reach lvl 10 without getting hit more than once

maybe there is an exeption with self damage like abilities or altars

[zenith garden]

It’s accessed from one of the layouts of ancient valley (specifically the large bridge must be fully built)

[wanton plank]

How bad is Han-D's Golden Drone achievement? Took 2+ hours of looping to get Engi's Beam Drone

[sturdy widget]

can you recycle things more than once

[cerulean python]

it took me less time than engi but still a while. keeping them a live is harder as melee only character, though maybe bomb alt secondary can help with that

[wanton plank]

Cheers for the tip ^^

[mild sun]

The bomb alt secondary is unlocked by getting the golden drone, so can't actually do that yet

[cerulean python]

oh, melee it is then

[wanton plank]

Tomorrow's problem then

[cunning idol]

alright so what the heck is multikill for the artificer achievement

[wise venture]

Id like recommend building crit and crowbars. Keep an eye out for large groups of smaller enemies and you should get it

[gleaming pasture]

Any tips for playing arti; it seems once you get to stage 3 on monsoon ice wall instantly shatters and is borderline useless

[cunning idol]

is that with the alternate secondary?

[wanton plank]

Kill 15 enemies with a single ability cast I'm sure

[cunning idol]

thats it?

ok

[wanton plank]

Yeah that's how I got it

[full socket]

what set does arti run

for her alts

[fierce arch]

all bad

[full socket]

figures

[fierce arch]

secondary and special are technically good but require too much thinking, utility gets turned into a movement when she needs the ice wall

[cerulean python]

the rock jump stuns in a pretty wide area around her not sure how much it makes up for no wall tho.

[grim stream]

When are new patches coming to switch?

[full socket]

thats crazy

flame chakram is actually worse than robomandos primary thats insane

[zenith garden]

They have to all die to one tick of damage

[wanton plank]

See above

[fathom walrus]

Best Chef loadout? I guess the only question is which primary to choose from.

[fierce arch]

throwing one is so much better

[rapid arrow]

boomerang

[fathom walrus]

Cheers.

[grim stream]

When is switch getting the new patches?

[flint nest]

i might have gotten a little carried away

i wanna see if i can reach 1k

[unkempt saddle]

Does anyone know the 15 easiest prismatic trials to gold for the achievement?

[flint nest]

one id say is really easy is Scorching Heart

considering uh

[unkempt saddle]

DAMN

[flint nest]

ive been going long enough for elites to start spawning in groups of 1-3

and sometimes theyre overloading

[unkempt saddle]

how long are you into the run

[lost timber]

Eh seismic stuns enough to get chakrams off

[flint nest]

SIXTEEN MINUTES BABY HELL YEAH!!!!!

[flint nest]

scorching heart more like scorching soul

damn to max out the score to 99999 you need to play this trial for 27 hours straight

oh yeah the golem that spawns at the start of the trial

just killed it

R.I.P golem 0 - 1500

a little bit over

26.25 minutes

[robust tundra]

Don't think so

LIMITLESS MOUNTAIN SHRINES HERE I COME

[mortal garnet]

do we know if teleporters have a fixed spawn on stage start or if it changes based on difficulty? im trying to do the huntress achievement with the ancient wisp but is there a way I can sort of garuntee that the wisp spawns as the tp boss?

[rapid arrow]

the heck?

[flint nest]

1575 seconds in scorching heart

aka 26 minutes

[rapid arrow]

cheese spot?

[flint nest]

no

just running around the stage

i mainly just stayed on the bottom platform where cremator spawned moving left and right while holding down the primary attack

i got lucky with getting medkits as my first 2 items

[peak dragon]

if you trigger stopwatch more than once does the time stack or does it just reset?

[woeful aurora]

can i jank out of this or do i have to restart

[woeful ginkgo]

You can get robomando with any and all artifacts as far as I'm aware

[woeful ginkgo]

From my experience, that's probably a restart. Never managed to unstuck Pilot before.

[woeful aurora]

this is so sad

alexa play coalescence

[woeful ginkgo]

It happened to me when I was on the Contact Light with Strange Battery to unlock Robomando

[woeful aurora]

providence was spared my wrath

[woeful ginkgo]

Is Acrid's spread epidemic to 25 enemies challenge in one go? or just total

[harsh furnace]

just try to C into a corner, it'll take a couple attempts.

[woeful aurora]

i already gave up lol

[harsh furnace]

loser lol

[karmic cipher]

:[

[harsh furnace]

(I once spent 20 minutes to get unstuck, and then died to an overloaded vagrant)

[karmic cipher]

lol

[harsh furnace]

BUT I WON THE JANK

[woeful aurora]

the game just can't handle my raw power

[harsh furnace]

tbh that's just an ignored issue lol

I coded a game in gms2 once, and making you TP out of geometry is just a line of code...

guess they wanted to remake the original game 1 to 1 lol

[zenith garden]

Except sacrifice when getting the battery

[graceful moon]

What are the actual stats on protect and serve? Damage, attack speed% and speed reduction % mainly

[harsh furnace]

lol
lmao

[karmic cipher]

very easy difficulty

[harsh furnace]

I wish on monsoon it gave you more enemies but it'd probably be the same amount 😔

lol
lmao

[graceful moon]

sir this is #game-questions-returns

[harsh furnace]

no this is wendy's

[solid olive]

does overloading worm count towards huntress alt m1?

[livid nebula]

where does one find a golden drone?

[zenith garden]

By upgrading three (tier 2) drones into a golden one

[livid nebula]

sick, ty friend

[languid aurora]

What character has that gold drone mission? Engineer?

@woeful ginkgo also, you cannot do robomando with sacrifice active first time because pots don’t spawn.

[vast ore]

What does stacking scepters do for huntress?

[graceful moon]

golden drone is for Han-D

[graceful moon]

Stacking scepters on every survivor does the same: less CD on the special

[vast ore]

Does it beat out alien head?

[graceful moon]

Not afaik

its 30% reduction on both

[vast ore]

Ok, thanks!

[zenith garden]

We don’t know how the multiplication works with each other yet

[rapid arrow]

it's a teleporter boss

[woeful ginkgo]

But everything else is game, right?

[solid olive]

it seems the first part needs to be done on drizzle but i have my doubts

i think everything needs done on rainstorm and up, but the first part CAN be done on drizzle

[languid aurora]

@woeful ginkgo yep

@solid olive first one MUST be on drizzle. Then next run can be either rainstorm or monsoon

[solid olive]

has someone proved it on the contrary?

[woeful ginkgo]

drizzle is necessary for run 1

pot doesnt spawn otherwise afaik

[zenith garden]

The second run can be rainstorm or monsoon but not drizzle

[regal basin]

what variants of barracks does direseeker spawn on

[worn sky]

no
imp overlord from artifact of origin does tho

[elder patrol]

So the way to get the gold chest is above right around here?

I forgot

Found it

[zenith garden]

Only the maps from the old game

[brave laurel]

will the pricing change for the new system (or did it)

[zenith garden]

Not guarantee, but it does help

[rapid arrow]

some artifacts are new for returns and only collectable on new variants

[naive robin]

is there any point at all in monsoon other than the challenge? never played 1 and i just got rorr for my b day and getting my shit rocked

is the game speed-based like ror2?

[ancient turtle]

will disabling new maps make finding artifact of glass easier or does it only appear on the new map sets

[harsh furnace]

no, not really

[zenith garden]

movement is definitely still the most important

[naive robin]

i mean in the aspect of completing stages vs positioning

[zenith garden]

the only thing you need to do monsoon for is one unlock

[naive robin]

my ego refuses

to change it

[zenith garden]

its a mix of both, the diff increases every minute regardless of stage changes so some people say to full loot and some say to tele rush

[harsh furnace]

ngl compared to RoR2 the red whip is fucking crucial here

S tier item

[naive robin]

im asking if its different or identical to ror2 when it comes to handling enemies, do you kite and shoot or do you use positioning

im aware of the base elements my guy

keep hearing its way harder than 2, and also keep hearing its way easier

might be for another channel, cuz im deadass trying to learn the game in the first place

[thorny vine]

can someone explain the difference between damage, base damage and total damage? im confused cuz i assumed there was only base, which scales off the characters base damage obviously and total, which scales off the damage of whatever procced it, but theres items where it only says damage. do i just guess there?

[zenith garden]

We are currently testing all of that for the wiki

[thorny vine]

ah i see

why would they only specify in some item descriptions and not others, kinda annoying

[cerulean python]

From my ror2 knowledge, which may not perfectly apply but it should translate decently well, base damage is the character's damage number. Commando for example starts with a base damage of 12, and gains 3 per level. Items that scale off of base damage will typically just say they deal "damage," though they do sometimes specify "base damage," for some reason. Barbed Wire for example deals 50% damage, so for Commando at run start it would deal 6 damage. Item's that scale off of the specific damage of an individual attack will typically say they deal "total damage." An example would be ATG Missile, which deals 300% the total damage. Commando's FMJ for example does 230% damage, meaning at run start it does 12 x 2.3=27.6 damage, so an ATG activated off of FMJ at this point would deal 82.8 damage.

Things can get a little weird though with the wording. Crowbar for example says "Deal +50% (+30% per stack) damage to enemies above 80% health." Judging from what I've said one might assume that this means you add 50% of the character's base damage to the hit, but in reality it is a multiplier on the total damage of a hit, which is what makes it so strong for characters like Sniper who can do a lot of damage in a single hit. The fact that its "deal plus 50% damage," i think is a good indicator though that it means a multiplier, instead of just saying "deal x% damage" as many other items do.

All that said, it gets complicated, especially given that in game descriptions are just wrong at a rate I wouldnt call frequent but also not ideal. As wiki editors get into deeper testing, we'll get more in depth info on everything, but until then the best we can do really is assume based on past knowledge.

[frigid onyx]

yo is predatory non existent in the game

predatory instinct

[zenith garden]

its in the game

[frigid onyx]

wait really but u dont unlocke it via huntress

thats how i remember unlokcing it in ror 1

i mean its been a decade

[cerulean python]

its a huntress unlock, might be different than 1 tho idr

[zenith garden]

Huntress: Defeat the Ancient Wisp without taking damage.

[zenith garden]

one fun part about testing that weve found is that some damage number popups lie

[cerulean python]

yeah i saw people mention the popups are randomized even though damage isnt lmao

[thorny vine]

oki yeah then i remembered correctly lol, thanks for the recap

for now im just gonna assume the items do total damage when its on-hit and base for everything else (for the items where its not specified)

[fathom walrus]

Why does the primary alternative for Enforcer pulls enemies towards you? 😄

[steady kettle]

command is really easy to get

||top right of slime cave level||

whatever its called

[sullen linden]

Think you're just arcing the shot behind them, pushing them towards you

[rigid snow]

guys, i've died 52 times already and havent got dio, is there a catch in this achievement?

[elder patrol]

Are you sure you die 52 times?

Maybe die a few more to be sure?

[elder patrol]

Yeah one more lol

[rigid snow]

i had 52 earlier

xd

oh now i got it, thx

[languid aurora]

@solid olive just did some research. Several people uploaded guides on how to do it said it had to be done. If you want to test and see if jt spawns, be my guest

[native valley]

How does Classified Access Codes stack? My friend and I can't figure out what the equation is for stacking.

[sullen linden]

40% (+20% per stack) of maximum health as damage to the teleporter boss after it spawns.
Per the Wiki

[native valley]

It obv doesn't scale linearly though

And the hyperbolic scaling equation doesn't match

If it followed the normal hyperbolic stacking equation, it would only do about 28.6% of the boss' max HP

[sullen linden]

Might be +20% of the initial 40% boss health?

[native valley]

Then you could one shot the boss with enough stacks, which doesn't seem plausible

[zenith garden]

it caps at 70% of the health bar deleted but also if you deal enough damage t othe boss before it fires to get past that limit it deals 0 damage

[native valley]

My friend is testing it. So far this is the stacking he's reporting:
2 = 52%
3 = 60.72%
4 = 69.27%
5 = 75.42%

[north reef]

Why would the descriptions lie they have never done that!!!

[zenith garden]

its definetly an item i want to test so please send me any results about it

[native valley]

He said he'll provide it all

[zenith garden]

danke danke

[native valley]

It can definitely go above 70% tho

[zenith garden]

very interesting

[zenith garden]

can i send a dm with a few test cases?

[native valley]

yes

[pliant edge]

trying to get the mercenary void skin, for some reason its invisible though and wont let me collect, does anyone know how to fix this? lol

[native valley]

2 CAC: 6576/13702 hp (52.00%)
3 CAC: 5968/15192 hp (60.7%)
4 CAC: 13898/45231 hp (69.27%)

[sullen linden]

[pliant edge]

oh.... I completely forgot I hadnt unlocked them yet i didnt realise you could only get the skin if you had the character

[paper snow]

is prestige artifact Difficult as it seems to unlock?

[steady kettle]

its in the original stage so if you stage lock youll find it

[clear tendon]

Hi, did someone make a sheet with stack caps of the items?

[zenith garden]

Still testing being done

[clear tendon]

Thankss

[supple knot]

will gearbox get there grimey hands on this one or only ror2

[native valley]

i think they straight up own hopoo now

expect to see huntress in borderlands 4

[supple knot]

3d huntress boob physics i accept

[languid aurora]

How do I do snipers provi trial? The one with glowing meteorite? I keep getting killed before I even have a chance

[gleaming hill]

no hopoo is independent they just bought the risk of rain ip

[native valley]

Damn

There goes my dreams of seeing some cringe cinematic with Commando talking

[mild sun]

First follow path, then go to middle rope, learn how to dodge bird (by jumping on the rope), after 3rd bird, start using meteors, then buy legendary chest (feather) to activate tp when at 100+ points

btw this item is worth it no question
(you can also go to #providence-trials to ask for more help)

[hollow ingot]

How long do temp items last?

[languid aurora]

@mild sun they didn’t answer my question but thanks! Also, I didn’t see any bird?

[mild sun]

The evolved lemurians?

They show up after a bit

[languid aurora]

Oh. I’ve never made it that far

[mild sun]

Okay, well now you can 👍

Btw you will probably still die multiple times even when doing this, there will be tons of enemies

[vernal urchin]

you can hang low on the rope at the start to make flying lemurians land and just hang there with the rest of the enemies

sometimes they charge beforehand tho, and seems to only work up to 4th

[languid aurora]

@mild sun got it! Thank you! I didn’t even think about cheesing with the rope

And now I am attempting the enforcer one with the scavenger! 🤞

[mild sun]

Good luck 👍

[astral steeple]

bro i've looped for more than 2 hours and only got 1 beam drone 😭

[serene elm]

does overloading spark still bypass invincibility?

[real shell]

unironically how the hell are you supposed to deal with cremators on monsoon?

[worn sky]

constantly moving from place to place

[strong idol]

i usually run around until the timer ends, kill annoying nearby monsters then poke away their hp

[worn sky]

at least that's how my friend soloed overloading one

[strong idol]

unless i have so much dmg that i can just facetank them cause they die fast

[worn sky]

dont commit too much

keep distance

see circles - skiddadle

[serene elm]

coping strats

[wraith wedge]

hello amazing people of the risk of rain discord server

I require assistance

oh i cant send pictures

im too washed

[buoyant venture]

What's the interaction between Suffocate and Scrap Cube ? Seems to destroy it, but I can't tell if it does anything more than just the damage of Suffocate + Destroying the cube(doesn't seems to do damage).

[brisk apex]

merc parry 💀

[mild sun]

blast or heal for han-d

[vernal urchin]

#roles grab one

and you will get image perms

[timid badger]

Well you get a bit of scrap back

[wraith wedge]

Thank you i completely forgot

[languid aurora]

I don’t understand this Lightning strikes twice trial… there are only 2 golems. I have explored a good portion of the map and there is nothing but sone platforming stuff

[buoyant venture]

damn, I thought it'd be like massive aoe damage but sad D:

Tho surfing on the cube is super fun, if you alternate right and then left combo, it's infinite surf combo

[languid aurora]

And every time I hit the first golem at all o just automatically fail

[vivid mist]

Is there a way to aim left while running right? I use keyboard and mouse and it throws me off when the character doesn't aim in the direction of the mouse.

[fading jewel]

They're implementing it

The devs

[vivid mist]

Oh thank goodness. Thanks for letting me know.

[cold ravine]

when will the next patch be

if it has been announced..

[vivid mist]

Not being able to backpedal as commando was agony, I am so glad it's going to be added 😋

[merry hare]

I know you can mod risk of rain 2 for a better UI and explinations of all the items and what not, is there anythink like that for returns yet?

[mild sun]

yes

technically

ill send you the vid

[merry hare]

tysm

[abstract spindle]

anyone know how to reach this log?

oh nvm just found out lol

||hiding the secret wall behind a rope is pretty mean lol||

[outer musk]

what's all the artifacts at the bottom of the prov arena

i know i gotta have em on i just don't remember which ones they are

[strong idol]

you need these 9 if you want to unlock origin
Honor, Kin, Distortion, Spite, Glass, Enigma, Sacrifice, Command, Spirit

same as in ror1

[cyan tendon]

does anybody know if/how ancient scepter affects robomando

[placid valley]

if you face a direction, start shooting, and then start walking backwards then you can backpedal. Kinda clunky but it works

[placid valley]

yes it gives you 20% chance to double items

[cyan tendon]

oh awesome

[placid valley]

I say double because it is double of the same item, not two different ones

[cyan tendon]

makes sense

so like an innate chance based substandard duplicator but not temp items
