[lime abyss]

is there a point to charging up han-d's saw? it doesn't seem to do more damage but i can't tell

[primal valve]

Timing release similar to bandit lights out

[lethal bone]

can anyone confirm if killing acrid 2x counts as 2 secret bosses for the huntress unlock

[sonic storm]

i think the achivo says "3 unique"

[lethal bone]

dang

ty :3

[shut saddle]

does the no items no equipment achievenemtn for sniper include drones

[sonic storm]

I believe you can drone just fine

[warm apex]

yeah drones are fine

whoa that message was a while ago lol whoops
it's ok because discord search bar users will be eating good

[cerulean flare]

for drifter do irecycle 5 drones in 1 run or seperate

[gusty raft]

6

And yes in one run

You can use spare drone parts to make it easier

[cerulean flare]

i dont think i have the sanity to do it without drone parts

[gusty raft]

Yup

[cerulean flare]

also where does acrid spawn in tombs

im in variant 4 rn if thta helps

[gusty raft]

Left or right side in the higher areas

In a metal box

[cerulean flare]

ah thank you

[errant parcel]

iirc it's always top right

[gusty raft]

Nope he can spawn either

[errant parcel]

Do you have a pic of acrid spawning top left by any chance ?

[gusty raft]

No but i have gotten it before

[errant parcel]

I've never seen that happen so i'm curious about it

[gusty raft]

I never thought to get a picture or clip of it sadly

The only things i really clip are ridiculous things

Like in one of my runs when i ran into a mutant beehive

I hate the beehive

[rapid isle]

Is bandit insta-getting out of invisibility if you were shooting before utility intended? I have died 2 times in a row in judgement phase 8 for this

[gusty raft]

Yes

Bandit exits invis if you attack unless you use flashbang

[errant parcel]

It's said in the description

[gusty raft]

Which tou cant

[errant parcel]

Use any skill and you'll get out of invi

[rapid isle]

no, the opposite, you are shooting, get inv, and it finishes because you were attacking just right before inv

inv being the last pressed button

[gusty raft]

Ah

May be a bug

[errant parcel]

Buffering issue ig

[rapid isle]

damn, it makes perfect timing the inv a suicide wish, I'll make a report then

[gusty raft]

Beehive

I want to know why artifact of kin is like this

[mint nest]

Does anyone know where the logbook is for ancient valley variant 5?

[cerulean flare]

anyone know which part of contact light stage hand spawns on?

[errant parcel]

top left iirc

[cerulean flare]

thanks

[lime abyss]

very specific but does anyone know if elder lemurians can be picked for stage 1 using dissonance and kin

[cerulean flare]

always top left? or specific variants

[errant parcel]

both variants

[errant parcel]

If the game still works with "budgets", then i doubt elder lemurians can spawn in stage 1 at the beginning of a run

[rapid isle]

I've always found it in the second bottom left

[errant parcel]

after a loop maybe

Man tf is wrong with my game

Han-D was always top left for me 💀

[lime abyss]

kin selects 1 type of enemy to spawn exclusively, seems its just rng though since i got elders

[errant parcel]

on stage 1 ?

[cerulean flare]

every copy of risk of rain returns is personalized

[lime abyss]

yes

[rapid isle]

top left of the compartment, but in the second bottom compartment for me

[lime abyss]

only because of dissonance though

[errant parcel]

weird

[cerulean flare]

dudes in medical bay im assuming

[rapid isle]

give me a second, I'll get a screenshot from the log

[errant parcel]

I expected the elder lemurians to "cost" sufficiently enough for the game to not be able to spawn them

similarly to how the game can't spawn scavengers early

[lime abyss]

a minute in on monsoon and zero enemies on the map so maybe

[rapid isle]

here is the spawn in variant 2
this is the 3rd compartment counting from top

[errant parcel]

Yeah so the game is messed up

Basically anything will spawn with dissonance & kin but the game doesn't have the budget to spawn them

[rapid isle]

and I think here is the other for variant 1
this is the 2rd compartment counting from top

[ivory zealot]

Is this a good build for ||robomando||

[warm apex]

does anyone know what like, movement micro i should be doing to not get smacked to death by imp overlord
because i kind of have just been praying to not see the boss in question on my chef/han-d/whatever runs

[sand island]

I don't know any fancy movement, but I just jump around constantly and it seems to work well enough lol

[tawny sinew]

miner kill 8 elder lemurians? dissonance kin is how one of my friends got the achievement

[oak rune]

Okay am I stupid or does sunken tomb just not exist

It's been 7 whole runs now and I can't find the damn stage

I want my dog

[rapid arrow]

unlucke

[chrome loom]

It's there... some variations don't have the cage/box spawn either.

[dull scroll]

Do laser/beam drones actually exist? I have one laser drone on my 7th loop, my game is at 1fps when fighting 30 overloading worms (idk how many tbh, enough to make me lag) and i have 4 golden drones. I'm tired, i just want this achievement done.

Edit: Game crashed.

[cerulean flare]

7th loop is actually insane

[brave glacier]

yeah, overloading worms are the biggest run ender for me

lagfest incarnate

[carmine garden]

so is ror returns a replacement of the original game?

because i have the original and dont know if i should buy returns

[primal talon]

Are RoR1 and RoRR Metroidvanias?

[rapid arrow]

uhh?? I don't think so

[carmine garden]

rougelikes

[primal talon]

Well yeah I know that :0

Just wondering

[rapid arrow]

metroidvania and roguelike have distictive gameplay elements

[primal talon]

Mhm

I know, that’s why I ask

And its No I’ve been told so

[blissful pulsar]

Exactly how much does the Filial Imprinting and Royal Medallion buffs improve your stats?
Is it a percentage increase, or a flat ammount?

[final crystal]

What are the item pools in Scorching Heat?

[real shell]

That is like the least similar genre you could get from roguelike

[primal talon]

So no?

I get it haha funny I’m far from accurate

I mean the layout of the maps and the movement of the games

[real shell]

Not at all, Metroidvanias are about branching, overlapping, and retreadong paths towards permanent progression

[primal talon]

Not running around cells of a bigger map

[real shell]

Metroidvanias arent limited to 2D, Dark Souls is a metroidvania

[primal talon]

And RoR1 and R are 2D

So that’s why I was curious

I don’t know how similar they are to RoR2

[real shell]

And they arent metroidvanias cause they dobtvfollow the game philosophy of permanent progression in a big static map

[real shell]

RoRR is very similar to RoRR2

[primal talon]

Alright

[real shell]

the main difference is 2D vs 3D and the games beong designed with that differwnce in dimension in mind

but mostly the same design philosophy

[primal talon]

Thanks for explaining why they’re not similar and stuff, instead of going uhh???? Or just saying one word

[honest plover]

There's a Merc Providence Trial that's similar to one, which was pretty fun.

[primal talon]

Whats a providence trial? I mean I know who he is but what are the challenges like?

[honest plover]

Alternative game mode in RoRR. Instead of the usual RoR gameplay loop, you do challenges designed around a specific idea. For example, the first you unlock has you race against the clock to the finish line by utilizing Commando's slide and movement speed items located throughout the course.

[primal talon]

Sounds pretty cool

Is returns on ps4?

[timid badger]

Pc and switch for now

[blissful pulsar]

What does Beating Embryo-doubled Mace Replica do?

[barren meadow]

does anyone if you can remap controller movement?

[cerulean flare]

remove a few mechanics and bam you got the shittiest metroidvania ever

[weary jay]

anyone know what corroded status does?

[cinder kayak]

Hard disagree with the 2nd part ngl

Maybe in rhe loosest of definitions

[rapid arrow]

you didn't asked why so you get what you get

[bitter sleet]

yo just wondering, does the artifact of cognation really not pair with the artifact of sacrifice? I see on the wiki cognant enemies do not drop items but it feels like I have got a few from them sometimes

also, is sacrifice affected by what enemies you kill? (tougher to kill enemies, enemies with elite bonuses and the like)

[vital mortar]

Yoo can someone help me pick up artefact of glass in co op??

[sullen linden]

Metroid Prime is still a metroidvania tho 😛

[ancient field]

hello wonderful people

[radiant mountain]

so this item says "gain an" and yet the base number of orbs you get is two?

shouldnt it say "Gain two oribiting followers..."

[chilly skiff]

No its one follower

[radiant mountain]

I always get two

[weak dagger]

not to uh sell u on the competition but if u wanted a roguelite metroidvania dead cells is kinda like that sorta

we're also in that game a little bit as a tiny crossover woooo

[elder patrol]

Ya, Dead Cells is more toward metroidvania

Great game too lol

[gusty raft]

Most likely swings it twice

[gusty raft]

Ive gotten the huntress glaive its really fun

[elder patrol]

There's Mando skin for the guy too

[floral quarry]

when risk of rain return will release on xbox?

[gusty raft]

Eventually

[elder patrol]

"eventually"

-famous last word

[gusty raft]

Uh oh

[elder patrol]

I joked, hopefully it's not sotv console wait - the returns

[gusty raft]

Im tempted to go for origin again

Twas an experience

[spiral musk]

a bit of an odd question but is the game locking as 60FPS?

[fierce arch]

yes

[weak dagger]

the logic is tied to the framerate, so it is meant to run at 60fps

[weak dagger]

there has been no promise of an Xbox port at this point. If we did one, it would have to be in-house.

[mild sun]

a robot named fight fits that bill the best so far imo

[gusty raft]

You can probably get away with a prisoner skin for mercenary if you ask nicely

[silver raptor]

What is the best way to complete non-damage run as commando?
For achievement.
Command and 200/10 are enabled, but what are best items?

[gusty raft]

Use artifact of glass, hermits scarf, and prophets cape

Umbrella is also a good one

You also definitely want combat roll and some good movement speef

[silver raptor]

No glass yet, sadly.
Where is that one?

[gusty raft]

Tundra

The area you get it is on the left side and you need to enter from higher up and hit 4 buttons on the way down

Glass helps so much so go for glass before you do the run again

[silver raptor]

Kay.
What variant is that?
Can I disable new stages to get it?

[gusty raft]

Glass is one of the original 9 artifacts so you can disable new stuff

I dont know the variant though

[woeful aurora]

what's the name of the item that resets ur cooldowns whenever u crit?

[gusty raft]

Wicked ring

1 second off cooldown for each crit

[woeful aurora]

thx

[gusty raft]

It has 5% crit rate and Stacking gives 15% crit rate for each extra one

[heavy jungle]

Isn't it 10% per additional stack and not 15

[gusty raft]

No its 15

10 is the lens makers in risk of rain 2

[hollow spear]

stacking gives 10%

[sonic storm]

ring stacking is +10

[mild sun]

200/999 is ideal so that you don't make it there after taking a hit you didn't notice and waste all that time

(just note that fall damage counts, but is not multiplied by the same 999% that all other sources of damage are)

[west harness]

Do I need to keep foreign fruit in my hand to unlock chef?

[mild sun]

yeah u do

pick up any items that u think are edible in some way and u should get it

[west harness]

right, Thanks

[silver raptor]

How does scarf stack? Will I be immune to damage outright if I stack 10 or is this Tougher Times situation?

[mighty atlas]

I think its like thougher times

[zenith garden]

It’s exactly a tougher times situation

[rapid isle]

go for 200/999 glass artifact
get sacrificial daggers and cape as early as possible and directly to teleporter, no farming

you want the 999 as a dead givaway if you fail

[real shell]

I think ot also lies and the first stack is functionally 9% aswell

[silver raptor]

How do you even set 999? 200 is maximum.

Unless you talk glass

[rapid isle]

not in damage taken

[silver raptor]

Oh.

[nimble monolith]

best way to unlock sticky bombs?

[real shell]

iirc 1 is 9%, 2 is 17%, 5 is 33.3% and so on, the function for calculatong effective dodge rate would be 1-0.91^(x), x being stacks of hermit's scarf

[silver raptor]

What do you do for that?

[rapid isle]

logarithmic scaling, every cape has decreasing returns. I don't have the math on me, but I think 7 is around a 50%

[nimble monolith]

detonate 15 bounding mines at once as engineer

[real shell]

command, 5 backup mags, sit in front of teleporter, place all 15, start teleporter

[silver raptor]

Get command
Stack backup mags.
Place all at the top of the rope
Wait for someone to climb
Profit.

[real shell]

in the same spot

[rapid isle]

go near teleporter, place 10, wait for 5 more stacks, place them, activate teleporter

[real shell]

nvm bad math

yeah 7 is close to 49%

[rapid isle]

I just did 1-0.9^x with x being the stacks

for a chance of getting hit

[real shell]

^

[rapid isle]

might be coded differently, wiki feels still a bit barebones

[real shell]

same equation I used I just forgor

[silver raptor]

Kay

[heavy jungle]

We don't have access to the code lol so everything needs to be tested manually

[zenith garden]

And it’s coded exactly like tougher times (dev confirmed)

[gusty raft]

Yeah

I believe you can get like 6 before the stack effect becomes miniscule

One of my friends had a run like this and still took some good damage if he stood still

He had 12 which seemed around the same as 6-7

[gusty raft]

Make sure to use turrets so the enemies dont step on the mines early

[gusty raft]

Ah, i was thinking of the stack combined with the original 5% my bad

[obsidian orbit]

why cant i climb ladders?

[gusty raft]

Some things in the bg arent ladders unless you kist cant climb them

[primal valve]

You can't be in any attack animation to grab ropes/ladders

[wintry carbon]

Real

[boreal glacier]

WARNING SPOILERS
||So you know the final Providence trial unlocks a special skin for every character that you beat it with
And that you can choose Robomando for it
So i was thinking, Did the devs add a super secret robomando skin
pls i NEED an answer or i am going to mentally explode||
If you have an answer pls answer

[heavy jungle]

no

[sonic storm]

Could've just done it and found out

[livid fable]

Anyone have an issue with major lag during the teleporter event, and only during teleporter event? Major slowdown that I think is being caused by the boss health bar at the top of the screen

[timid badger]

I believe there is but there’s no unlock for it (like it’s just going unused in the code)

[primal valve]

Sprites Exists not unlockable, devs haven't confirmed nor denied if it becomes unlockable.

[gusty raft]

Yuh

[gusty raft]

Did you get a horde or normal boss?

Normally performance issues happen with massive hordes or very late into runs

[livid fable]

It’s every boss regardless of whether I mountain shrine or not

[gusty raft]

Odd

[livid fable]

Stage 1, stage 12, game runs fine until I start teleporter

Just so we’re clear though this laptop really is a piece of shit, I’m surprised it runs the game at all, but it’s very smooth until the boss HP bar is at the top of the screen

[gusty raft]

Ah yeah its definitely an issue with the laptop

Try adjusting your graphics and see if yhat fixes it

If not then idk

[livid fable]

They’re all on low, I’m just hopeful maybe a mod will come out to remove the bar entirely, it’s an unnecessary feature considering mobs all have a health bar of their own as it is

But I appreciate all the responses. I’ll still be playing just doing teleporters very very slowly 😝

[gusty raft]

Hopefully you get it fixed

[boreal glacier]

cool

[steady flicker]

how to reach this legendary chest

[ancient field]

there's a stack of containers in the cargo room above

there's a ladder hidden somewhere in the middle above that stack of containers

[steady flicker]

got it

thanks

nice pfp btw

[ancient field]

thanks! :D

project moon brainrot worldwide

[twin glacier]

Anyone know when the artificer buff is coming to switch? Ive been the game and judgement with every character but her now and she feels so bad and unfun to play

[stuck haven]

Where is cognation??

[green notch]

yo does anyone know if providence drops the log book always

or did i just get insane luck

[young arrow]

Insane luck

[green notch]

the first time i killed him

it dropped

damn

[silver raptor]

There are buttons to the right.
You need to hit them.

[stuck haven]

thanks

[silver raptor]

Did you get it?

[civic egret]

what is "multi-kill 15 enemies" defined as?

[sonic storm]

I believe it'd be 1 skill/use item 15 kills

[civic egret]

ouch

I figured it would just be 15 kills in a short window, regardless of the means

[sonic storm]

I think your best bet is using a gold bomb

[stuck kindle]

i think it's basically one tick

it's really easy especially if you use glass

but even regularly you can just sit on drizzle stage 1 until 15 enemies spawn

maybe use kin to make it lemurians

and then flamethrower them

when they're all stacked

[civic egret]

thats pretty much what ive been trying

[stuck kindle]

it took me 2 or 3 tries to make sure they all got hit

but not too bad

[livid parrot]

Personally I used the deranged strategy of glass + kin + prestige artifacts

Kin would spawn a lot of elites as the boss, and prestige would spawn mountain shrines to increase the amount of enemies

Glass is there to make sure I can one shot

I also used command to get items to help me survive (and get an active item that's worth a damn to kill a huge crowd)

[vagrant sapphire]

Do all enemies have 0 armor

[grim stream]

What does the purple teleporter on judgement do?

[jovial field]

||it allows you to skip directly from your current stage to the halfway point. you can't access it unless you've been to the halfway point at least once in a previous run||

||the halfway point is the Sunken Tomb level||

[grim stream]

Ah, Ty!

[woven idol]

Is it just me or do magma worms take an insane amount of damage? It feels like they always die in seconds, even without items

[vagrant vine]

each of their segments can take damage separately, so if you have any AoE or chaining attacks, you can do insane damage to them with a single attack

maybe dumb question: i've had multiple stacks of 56 leaf clover in several complete runs by now, and never had it proc even a single time. is there something about it that i'm missing or do i just have stupidly bad luck?

[woven idol]

Ah, I've been playing Pilot a lot lately so that would definitely explain it lmao

[woven idol]

Same, I think I've only ever gotten value from it like once or twice

[vagrant vine]

yeah huntress can kill them with two glaives if you get them with every hit lol

[graceful moon]

Are monster log drop rates affected by difficulty?

[sonic storm]

I mean id assume theres more enemies so tehnically more chances but I dont think directly affected

[subtle bobcat]

Did they say anything about when it'll be out on ps?

[graceful moon]

You don't get a 2nd providence on monsoon sadly, trying to get his log

[sonic storm]

oh

[grim stream]

Is there any way to dodge bison attacks? I feel like no matter what I do they always hit me.

[fervent copper]

Jumping into them with either Hopoo Feather or Rusty Jetpack as soon as they lower their head is usually effective.

Without those items your easiest solution is:

RUN

[cerulean python]

you can dodge it without items but really only when its 1. not sure if max jump height does it or if ive just been crossing them up tho.

btw, for abilities like fmj, does it roll for on hit effects once, or for each enemy hit? like if i have atg am i gonna end up with a wave of missiles 10% of the time due to every enemy spawning one, or is 10% of enemies hit on avg gonna spawn a missile

perhaps better wording: is 10% of fmj's gonna cause every enemy hit to spawn a missile, or is 10% of enemies hit gonna spawn a missile

[cunning pebble]

iirc devs said they didnt expect us to find Secret Character so fast, so for now i think its yeah still going unused and was planned to secretly release in a future update/patch but really who knows

[zenith garden]

From prelim testing yes except for the temple guards

[zenith garden]

You can’t force load it or the pilot skin in so they are very inaccessible

[grim stream]

I’ve tried running and the attack has so much range that I can’t even run from it.

[fervent copper]

You see, the trick is to run into them if you’re too close because the hitbox is the head.

[grim stream]

Ohhh.

[fervent copper]

If your fast enough you’ll be on the other side before the attack comes out

[grim stream]

Thanks!

[atomic prism]

is there a way to change loadouts in the judgement providence trials?

[fervent copper]

Nope

[atomic prism]

aw 😦

[vapid marsh]

does shattered mirror work on engineer turrets?

[fervent copper]

It’s an equipment that only affects the user, and turrets can’t use equipment, so no.

[arctic shoal]

what exactly is the hitbox for toxic beast

is it just the ground it runs around on?

[vapid marsh]

So when you use shattered mirror it does not drop 2 turrets?

[real quail]

Hows the switch performance? Got this on steam but hate the keyboard controls

[fervent copper]

The 1 tile on the bottom

[arctic shoal]

hook in a controller

[fervent copper]

Wait, I didn’t think of that. Gonna have to test it

[fervent copper]

Switch preforms great, but the threshold for lag is severely lower than what I’ve seen on some PC clips. Although it is still good enough that your only gonna get lag with Kin + Prestige

[vapid marsh]

I have it right now with engineer and I don't see any difference. It could be due to them being on the exact same place or something. wondering if I should switch equipment or not

[real quail]

Thanks, was worried about the lag and couldn't find anything on google

[vagrant sapphire]

it can get framey on stage 5 or loop

other than that it runs like a dream

[fervent copper]

Your switch must be bad. I usually do fine then

[vagrant sapphire]

it happens occasionally

i have a day 1 model

[fervent copper]

That would be why

[vagrant sapphire]

is there a noticeable difference between the models?

i thought the only spec improvement was battery but i might be wrong

[fervent copper]

I think I have the second model they made, but I would have to check. Mine runs fine until I decide that I want it to crash tho.

I even have proof of it lagging only with Kin + Prestige

[vapid marsh]

Btw it seems like warbanner does not work on turrets when you place them before you start the teleporter

[cerulean python]

only the hooves also, not sure if the back ones count, also not sure if its only when hooves touch ground or not

[errant valve]

Just noticed the artifact symbols under the providence arena. what happens if you use them all?

[stuck kindle]

||you get the artifact of origin||

[errant valve]

ah thanks

[rapid isle]

Before you pull your hair out, you don't need all the artifacts, just all of the artifacts in the original game

[real shell]

How does artificer multikill achievement work

cause I got like 50 enemies in a signle strike and that wasnt enough for it

[nocturne zodiac]

does shattered mirror interact with embryo in any way?

actually, is there a list of ways embryo interacts with most equipments that don't seem like they'd benefit from a "double cast"?

[elder patrol]

Ye, triple instead of double

[nocturne zodiac]

and does mirror stack (if cd is lower than the uptime)

does it just go quadruple, pentaple etc etc

[cerulean python]

i imagine it just adds to a multiplier, binding of isaac style, but idk

[elder patrol]

If you meant stacking embryo, no

It only stacks the chance for double the effect, not the effect itself

[nocturne zodiac]

nono, if you had mitosis

[elder patrol]

Idk, haven't tried

[nocturne zodiac]

and the cdr of your mirror was lower than the cd of your uptime

oh okay

and has anyone tried how mirror interacts with afterimage, if at all?

does it double the doubled abilities?

effectively quadrupling them?

[bitter sleet]

yo just wondering does stacking damage multipliers stack additively or does it all multiply together?

like crowbars and golden gun

does the shot get 1.5 + 1.4 or is it 1.5 x 1.4

[primal valve]

It varies, for most part: Only crowbar gets added onto other multipliers, as they get seperate damage instance based on hits ie. The Toxin and Golden Gun don't increase each others damage and you see 3 numbers for 1 damaging hit, the inital hit, then Toxin damage based on inital hit and Golden Gun damage based on inital hit.

There are some weird interactions with Commandos Knifes wound that seems to add multiple times as discussed in #1177813712032247890 message

[bitter sleet]

so basically, everything is based on initial hit (white damage)

[primal valve]

Almost everything

[bitter sleet]

alr

[primal valve]

Crowbars increase inital hit, and some item procs are just base damage seperate shots ie. Hyper Threader vs. AtG which is based on the inital hit.

[bitter sleet]

so, do crits affect the effects that are affected by the initial hit?

[primal valve]

From what I'm aware of effects based on "TOTAL damage" can't crit, but technically benefit from more damage from inital hit critting.

[bitter sleet]

so technically, it's always Critting if you proc on a critical?

[primal valve]

yeah, would need to look into it more if they proc effects based on critting (Wicked ring, Harvester's Scythe, Predatory Instincts and Razor Penny off top of my head)

[bitter sleet]

alr

well I am more wondering, if I poison a guy and the hit that poisons them crits, does the poison get the 2x damage from the base initial due to 2x damage

[cerulean python]

speaking of poison, does crowbar effect poison/burn dots?

[primal valve]

Haven't tested poison much IIRC poison can't crit, Will need to test if crowbar works.

Crowbar doesn't seem to increase Acrids Poison damage.

[nocturne zodiac]

is it a known bug/interaction that arti with too much attack speed has her flamethrower kinda cancel itself when cast?

I'm not sure what item/combination of items causes it but my flamer will go off for like 0.5 sec then turn off

I'm guessing it happens when medalion, mask, syringes and mocha all work in tandem, maybe one of them is the culprit and not AS as a whole

but idk, I don't know if I should report it or if it's intended

[cerulean python]

sad

[indigo totem]

has anyone unlocked the miner?
ive had 67 runs, just completed a 3+ hour run and i have never gotten the map variant that unlocks the miner or boar beach.

[arctic shoal]

Does bleed stack

[oak beacon]

Bleed stacks, yes.

[arctic shoal]

Or do rusty knives only increase the chances

[arctic shoal]

Interesting, does it scale as well as ror2?

With high proc

[oak beacon]

Rusty knives only increase the chance, but each bleed instance is independent. It is not like RoR2.

[primal valve]

Each proc applies individual bleed, Knife stacks increase chance to proc

[arctic shoal]

Right so i can only stack as many bleeds as fast as I can apply them before the first bleed runs out

Instead of being able to stack an infinite amount

[oak beacon]

Pretty much

[arctic shoal]

Hows the damage, is it significant enough to worth considering?

Or is it just kinda weakish side damage

[primal valve]

Disable New map variants from rules before run you get 2/6 chance of finding miner variant instead of 2/12

it is solid

[oak beacon]

35% of the triggering attack's damage per tick. Bleed ticks 4 times I think.

Think of it like +140% TOTAL on a delay.

[arctic shoal]

Whats the tick rate

[primal valve]

~2 per second iirc could be wrong

[oak beacon]

Probably half a second? I don't recall

[arctic shoal]

Interesting

Are ukes and atgs still top tier damage greens?

Also how are mortars

I’m in a habit of stacking proc items

[oak beacon]

Mortars are hit or miss, literally.

The description for items, when correct, will give you a good idea of how effective they are.

Honorable mention to Golden Gun for being secretly GOAT

[arctic shoal]

Well theres the problem lol

when correct

I’m in the habit of not immediately trusting tooltips in games in general

More often than not they’re misleading if not incorrect

[indigo totem]

ahhh, thanks so much. i didnt realize the variants doubled

[oak beacon]

Most are fine from the looks of things, though plenty haven't been tested yet.
Golden Gun caps at 100%, not 40%, which is why it's great.

ATG, Ukulele, Wisp, Rusty, Mortar, they're all fine

Some damage bonuses actually multiply together, like Toxin and Golden Gun

so with both, and with golden gun maxed out, you'd get 1.3 x 2 as a damage multiplier (or +160% damage)

It's separated into different damage numbers in a specific order that makes it hard to recognize though.

[arctic shoal]

Yeah I haven’t quite figured out itemisation in this game yet

[rapid arrow]

sniper take aim proc atg kills a elite crab from my last run on sniper huge

[arctic shoal]

Though I guess it’s a lot less relevant

There’s significantly less agency with itemisation outside of multishops

[rapid arrow]

might be interesting to figure when to start taking bleed after some amount of crit glasses

[arctic shoal]

My runs never last long enough to have to make any decisions like that

I don’t loop

[grim stream]

What are some items to go for on merc ?

And acrid

[fervent copper]

Hardlight and Alien Head help you keep up Iframes

[wheat zephyr]

does every variant of temple of elders contain a golden chest?

[primal valve]

No

But both Final levels do

[wheat zephyr]

ok thanks, looks like im on 6, and its not there

[bitter sleet]

yo just wondering, does artifact of command have any downside other than "you need to select what you want"?

[rapid arrow]

die in selection screen because you think for too long

[bitter sleet]

alr, so no downside like "less chance of getting higher quality items

[nimble monolith]

don't see any active online lobbies?

game isn't dead, is it?

[rapid arrow]

can't see ongoing games

[nimble monolith]

how do I see lobbies?

do I have to disable crossplay?

won't even let me start a game

[rapid arrow]

there no crossplay afaik

[nimble monolith]

well there might be a connection issue, it won't let me sync from my steam deck

yeah i wasn't online in the game for some reason, weird

fixed ty

[fading pond]

I haven't seen it anywhere posted, does anyone know how much the damage done/health goes up per rank of difficulty?

[bitter sleet]

yo just wondering, does headstompers only calculate vertical speed, or can horizontal speed also affect it

[brisk apex]

i know not the answers to either of those questions

but try the wiki?

[indigo moth]

Is there anyway to get a full collection of all the official art used in the game? I'd really like to use one of the menu screens as a wallpaper

[brisk apex]

i mean, u own all the files. go searching u might be able to find them

but idk if somene has compiled them or not

[primal valve]

#ror-wiki-discussion message

There is link to google doc with all the files downloadable.

[open finch]

When would you want to go back to previous level insead of going to final level. Every time I do that, I get merc'd by the buffed up minions

[rain lava]

I'm in a public lobby where players essentially have the demigod cheat. Take damage, but don't die. Is that a feature somewhere, or is the host cheating?

[primal valve]

When you want to "loop" usually when you are looking for something specific, Like Unique bosses for Huntress achievement or Drones for Engi/HAN-D or just want extra long run.

[primal valve]

There are "Game intensity" options in "rules" section of the "lobby"

[rain lava]

It's not that, players can't die even if they try,

[primal valve]

If they have them selected it should show in their potrait

[rain lava]

They do not

[primal valve]

Then I have no idea, possible cheat engine use on host

[rain lava]

great

[open finch]

gotcha, but if ur goal is just to beat the game, prob better to go to final level?

[primal valve]

Essentially that depends on your items and if you feel like you are powerful enough to do it but yeah

[open finch]

cool, thanks

what does rapid fire accessibility option do

[primal valve]

essentially turbo function, holding spams input

[mild sun]

Useful for Loader/bandit

[primal valve]

Might be only primary

[open finch]

cool

[silver raptor]

Will I find glass if I disable new stage variants?

[elder patrol]

no

Glass is in old variants

[zenith garden]

Yes you will find glass if you disable new variants

[silver raptor]

Good

[mild sun]

what do the green dots mean

[primal valve]

Votes

[rapid arrow]

2 greens = 2 players voted for this
reds = player voted against

[mild sun]

ah thanks

[mossy wagon]

does proc stuff work the same in this game as in ror2??
same as in, things having proc coefficients and stuff (like ukelele proc atg or something like that)
i read that like fire shield can apparently proc something like atg but i was wondering how well developed/understood it is for this game

[sterile horizon]

no proc coefficients and no proc chains

everything has the same chance of proccing things

[mossy wagon]

that's nice to know, thanks!

(cyclone wtf... )

[rapid arrow]

it's insane

[mossy wagon]

would fire shield proc-ing other items not count as a proc-chain? Or is this just an exception/not true ?

[sterile horizon]

I'm honestly not sure, I didn't realize that could proc an item

maybe proc chains sort of exist??

As far as I am aware proc co-efficients don't exist but maybe proc chains sorta do

(side note, thank you wiki people you guys are incredible)

[heavy jungle]

You're right there aren't any proc coefficients as far as we know

And Fire Shield needs proper testing, but maybe items that do total damage can be procced by Fire Shield / Headstompers / etc. ? Not sure

[sterile horizon]

headstompers seems a little easier to test, if you guys have some sort of testing area

[heavy jungle]

Yeah you can make custom trials, kinda

Been using that

[rapid arrow]

mayybe fire shield being the first damage in the chain can proc another chain at max?

[oak beacon]

Fire shield going off isn't the result of a proc, so I wouldn't consider that a proc chain.

The effect can proc items, but that's the whole of it.

[heavy jungle]

Alright, fire shield DOES proc ATGs (and other total damage items I'm assuming)

headstompers doesn't

[zenith garden]

It also procs permafrost so that’s another fun one

[heavy jungle]

I'm guessing Repulsion Armor does proc ATGs as well then, gonna test

[heavy jungle]

does it just proc all on-hit effects

like rusty blade etc.

[zenith garden]

I tested it before we had our enviro so I did atg and perma only

[heavy jungle]

gotcha, another thing to test I guess

[heavy jungle]

repulsion armor also procs ATG

huh

[zenith garden]

interesting

[stoic pagoda]

i think theres no proc coef but only if it can proc items or not

[scenic shard]

does the commando active unlock require you to not take damage on any of the first three stages?

[sullen linden]

Ye

[gusty raft]

The procs are flat chances upped by items, theres really no built in chances for moves this time

Like atg is a 10% chance each stack instead of +300% dmg like it is in 2

[gusty raft]

Recommended use glass and kin

They help so much

Also you only have to activate the teleporter on the 3rd stage not beat it

[sullen linden]

Glass definitely, kin might be a bit of a roll of the dice

[stoic pagoda]

item chance stacking is so awesome and funny

[gusty raft]

No kin is awesome

Bc you dont get bosses

[sullen linden]

Tbh, I'd just get bodied by Jellyfish 🥲

[gusty raft]

Also if you do it on drizzle theres a high chance the boss will be a single enemy

[gusty raft]

Do NOT remind me.

I got origin the other day and that was basically my experience

It was funny as hell though

[stoic pagoda]

go command and kin glass and pray no overloading bosses spawn

[gusty raft]

Correct

Also the artifact of spite bombs only go one direction right?

[stoic pagoda]

all directions

[gusty raft]

I mean once they’re going a direction unless hitting a wall

Bc i want answers

[scenic shard]

ah, gotta get glass

[sullen linden]

It almost looks like it bounced off you, but then not quite
Seems to be some extra baked in spite coming after you

[gusty raft]

Yep

[stoic pagoda]

instantly saved

[gusty raft]

You really@learn how much tje game hates you going for origin

[sullen linden]

Look, the game tells you: Sucks to suck

[gusty raft]

Heres another good one

[tepid pollen]

When looping will I always get the same stages and variations?

[sullen linden]

No, they're still random

[gusty raft]

No but you may have a higher chance to

[tepid pollen]

Awesome, trying to push this run and get a few artifacts along the way

[sullen linden]

Oof, get pulled off the top rope

[gusty raft]

If only i had five hundred voltaic mitts

I wanna beat judgement again

[spiral estuary]

Is there any dev feature backlog I can check?

[sullen linden]

https://discord.com/channels/417739215355510784/1172636231616712754
Is probably what you're looking for?

[worn sky]

dev feature backlog???...

[sullen linden]

Basically a "This is what we're working on" type of list AFAIK

[stoic pagoda]

this is golden

[sand swallow]

same vibes as the DEATH Gup gif from RoR2

[slender creek]

Havent seen someone ballin like that since 1526

[gusty raft]

I also have a clip of what i like to call “the beehive”

I dont think they liked me

[elder patrol]

Flylems

[gusty raft]

Im gonna try and beat judgement again later

Wish me luck

[elder patrol]

gl

[gusty raft]

Gonna try it with the gremlin

Bc I already got the worst one out of the way

I also did find out drifter makes it a cakewalk

I had 4 dios at one point

@weak dagger question: will the file skin for ||robomando|| be available sometime in the near future?

[weak dagger]

I don't know I'll just leave everyone on the hook on that one forever

||if it exists, suddenly everyone has to beat judgement with robomando to get it, but since you can do it as robomando, getting nothing feels wrong too I guess||

[gusty raft]

🤔

[steel mesa]

So long as it's an internal achievement, and not considered a steam achievement, as his unlock in itself is, I think it's fine

Having the option, but nothing for it with no actual warning feels a bit cruel

[oblique void]

someone explain this death to me and why umbrella and clock dont save me https://medal.tv/games/risk-of-rain-returns/clips/1Gk1jvsnmB-LX4/d1337DuEjEwI?invite=cr-MSxGWnQsNzI1MDY0NzAs

[tardy sphinx]

Overloading still hits during frozen time for some reason. That's probably it

[oblique void]

some bull shit

is that a bug

or apart of the game

[gusty raft]

Both ig

[tardy sphinx]

Probably intentional? All passive/channeled abilities work during frozen time

You could always use shield generator for 8 sec invincibility

[brisk apex]

no the overloading going though invinciblity is a bug

its gona get fixed

[gusty raft]

I looked at the clip

[brisk apex]

idk if its meant to go through the time stop, but its not suposed to kill u past the umbrella. even if thats not what happens in this clip it can happen on this patch

[gusty raft]

The clock doesnt give you invincibility and it looks like your invincibility wore off unless thr timing was off

[oblique void]

no it didnt

umbrella was up that entire time

[gusty raft]

This looks like a perfect opportunity to revolt against the overloading population

[oblique void]

That was such a good run too smh

Im tryna get the last couple of monster logs that I need and couldnt kill enough ancient wisp/trees/ifrits

[brisk apex]

im only missing provi and one more i cant figure out what boss it is tho

[tardy sphinx]

Scavenger?

[brisk apex]

oh nvm i got that one

[oblique void]

Im so close to 100% man it sucks being so close yet so far

[brisk apex]

i was mistaken im missing provi and the thorn guy that had long neck

dont know his name becuase no log lmfao

[oblique void]

tree guy

[tardy sphinx]

Oh that thing

[gusty raft]

I love the gup log

[tardy sphinx]

How DO you get Providence log book? Is it just enough kills?

[brisk apex]

tree guy diffrent

luck :3

[tardy sphinx]

Dang

[brisk apex]

(im assuming)

[gusty raft]

Luck

[oblique void]

I need both of them

Sad days

I also keep getting shit luck with the last couple of environment logbooks that I need

Ancient valley V1 V4
Hive cluster V2

[gusty raft]

Would it be possible to make a petition for an addition suggestion?

@weak dagger is that a possibility or nah?

[weak dagger]

what are you referring to? We're going to fix stuff going through invulnerability already

[gusty raft]

Returns

I made a suggestion for a secret boss after turni g off my brain

I put it in the feedback and suggestions

And I was wondering if maybe the community liked it it can vote to be added

[dim fog]

yo anyone need help?

[brisk apex]

yes

but not in game

:3

[dim fog]

what did u need help with?

i can awnser most questions

[brisk apex]

i was being silly im all good !

[gleaming tangle]

How do I win

[dim fog]

oh alr

[dim fog]

e i can help if you would like

[dim fog]

on drizzle?

[gleaming tangle]

Rainstorm

[dim fog]

bet

i can help in game

make a lobby and tell me the name

[gleaming tangle]

I mean

I was more looking for advice on how to win myself-

[dim fog]

oh alr

tbh advice would just be practice

or artifacts

[primal valve]

Kill final boss without your health reaching 0

[dim fog]

lol

[primal valve]

Joking aside jumping is extremely strong avoidance and momentum keeping move

[gleaming tangle]

I only won once out of like 50 games

[dim fog]

e i personally have expirenece due to 250h on ror2

[gleaming tangle]

almost 400h

[dim fog]

but if your new to the whole thing just practice

[dim fog]

oh jeez

[primal valve]

As in jumping while doing moves that plant you in place usually lets you keep moving a bit

[dim fog]

i get it 2d is much harder then 3d

[gleaming tangle]

I played a little bit of every character

the only one I won as was miner

[dim fog]

yeah hes good then if your good with him possibly play him

[gleaming tangle]

I was wrong , 580 hours actually

ror2 is a banger

[dim fog]

fr

[dim fog]

ikr

[gleaming tangle]

At one point though I'd like to win as every survivor atleast once

I've been trying Enforcer today , he's kinda wonky

[gleaming tangle]

Trying to jump and all is the antithesis to how his abilities work

[dim fog]

whoed u main in ror2?

[gleaming tangle]

merc

[dim fog]

same bro

i main em in this game to

[dim fog]

but you only won once

[gleaming tangle]

I enjoy Merc , loader , and engineer

[dim fog]

my top 3 are merc chef and engi in this game

[gleaming tangle]

uhh , when you said "main" I just assumed whatever I played the most

I played every character quite a few times

[dim fog]

cool

[gleaming tangle]

Anyways , how do I play enforcer?

[dim fog]

prioritize your shield

its his key to winning it literally blocks all dmg the way your facing

a good strat is go up ina corner and use shield so no mobs can go up behind then just shoot

[gleaming tangle]

It slows me to a snails pace though , and it doesn't stop enemies from just walking around me

[dim fog]

thats why u need a lot of speed items such as red whip pauls goat hoof etc

[gleaming tangle]

I noticed that worked effectively

[dim fog]

me personally does'n t have a ton of expirence with him but i have some

[gleaming tangle]

Also , it's utterly useless against those elites that launch red bombs

hm.. I'll try to prioritize movement speed next

[gleaming tangle]

Thank you for your insight

[dim fog]

np

goodluck

[primal valve]

Shield mode is your "DPS" stance, increasing you attack speed. Against volatile elites, stop shooting and keep moving backwards to block missiles.

[primal valve]

Also don't try to block parents or bisons most of the time they hit you in the back side "over" your shield

Also if you get hardlight afterburner you can jump utility spam to bully enemies.

[gleaming tangle]

As in spam jump and utility at the same time?

[primal valve]

Essentially sec finding video example

[primal valve]

It is timestamped from hive part of challenge run I did
https://youtu.be/D9zHs6OSQKU?t=1153

[gleaming tangle]

ohh

also , how much time should I be spending on every stage?
should I take my time to unlock every chest? or should I start the tele as soon as I find it?

[primal valve]

Depends on playstyle, in general timescaling is really fast so personally I activate tp asap and loot durning the charge time since chests don't lock durning tele in this game

Full looting can work but it doesn't fit my style of play

[dim fog]

same

well

kinda

[dim fog]

for me its like pate's. i find tele as soon as i can then i loot during tele. But after tele is done i still get 1 or 2 more chests before heading so around 4-7m per stage for me

[gusty raft]

We should get shmeglin added to this game

[gleaming tangle]

noted ^.^

[spare belfry]

does having 2 ancient scepters make a difference? specifically for drifter

[heavy jungle]

every scepter beyond the first just reduces special's cooldown further

[mild sun]

If you have to choose between 2nd scepter or alien head, choose alien head. They both do 30% reduction, but scepter only for special. (as per the wiki)

[opaque portal]

Wanted to unlock Predatory Instincts for the longest time, but my damage avoidance game is a bit doo-doo.

Any advice for this highly trained bullet catcher (beyond killing them faster/in frozen time, which also helps lol)?

[spare reef]

The Pilot wavedash that traverses through the entire map is harder to do with a controller?

[outer garnet]

does equipment cd reset when entering a new stage in judgement?t

[rapid isle]

I do it with controller, you get used to it, just care not to press right/left with the joystick while wavedashing

[rapid isle]

it resets when you get to the resting zone

[outer garnet]

so not when i go from resting zone to level?

[rapid isle]

fairly certain it doesn't

[outer garnet]

aight thanks

[mild sun]

it does, actually

[rapid isle]

does it?, let me check

[mild sun]

I used it for captain's brooch

you can use it once inside rest and once inside the stage normally, but you can also wait 30-60 seconds to trigger it twice

[rapid isle]

it does, just tried it

[outer garnet]

ah ok

i was just worried that my equipment will be on cd (stopwatch) right after i used a brooch

[rapid isle]

I was absolutely certain to have tried it to negative results, sorry @outer garnet , my bad

[outer garnet]

all good

so it means it resets every stage?

[mild sun]

yeah

[outer garnet]

cool

[rapid isle]

yep, 2 retest between levels

[mild sun]

It's more worth it to grab shields imo

[outer garnet]

im tempted to get the centipede too

but seeing runs getting a free healing item sounds tempting

the gamble is strong

[mild sun]

I usually only get captain if I decide to use it until provi

[rapid isle]

centipede only on completely mele champs in my case, and i never get brooch just for bad luck protection

[mild sun]

since that's just more items

[rapid isle]

I don't even get the double equipment red for the same reason

[outer garnet]

im trying to pass my first judgement with merc

so centipede would be nice

[acoustic gorge]

how do I get to this chest?

[outer garnet]

around here iirc

[rapid isle]

I'm 5 champs away from doing all judgements, merc still stand the most difficult I did, altough I am unable to play safe with him

[mild sun]

afaik it's this in returns

[stuck kindle]

it is this

or from the bottom right if you have a lot of jump

[rapid isle]

I didn't know this one, cheers

[outer garnet]

oh wrong location i remembered

[mild sun]

I mean they did change one of them from original to returns

[stuck kindle]

in RoR1 it was even worse bc iirc there wasnt even a visual hint for the ladder location 💀

[timid badger]

Not with the pillars

[outer garnet]

itll be alot easier if they let u use parry

[acoustic gorge]

yeah thanks guys

[mild sun]

np 👍

[outer garnet]

yea i mistaken

[subtle hinge]

does amethyst do anything with embryo?

[tender gazelle]

so am i a bit clueless or is aegis somehow more useless than ror2 in this game

i dont loop often btw

[worn sky]

yup

it exists to make irritating noise

ok so basically
you either use it in tandem with barrierworks
or it doesn't do anything because flat healing sucks

[gusty raft]

Or you just use topaz

[primal valve]

It resets 2 stacks of skills that have multiple if it procs.

[subtle hinge]

makes sense, thank you!

[dim fog]

anyone need help?

[burnt gate]

Can debuffs proc items?

[dim fog]

im actually not sure im 70% sure they can tho?

[nimble monolith]

best items for enforcer

[mild sun]

hardlight afterburner

does jar of souls work on bosses ?

[oblique void]

No

Not tp bosses, but bosses that spawn naturally based off my understanding

[mild sun]

thanks

[nimble monolith]

do I have to complete enforcers block challenge in just one run?

[steel mesa]

Yes, in one instance

5 minutes straight shielded while in combat

Just find some weak enemy, do the teleport, lead the enemy to the corner, sit down

[nimble monolith]

ty

so to drown 20 whorls I have to do it in one run, do I have to knock them down myself or can they just fall in?

[tardy sphinx]

It has to be done before teleporter finishes

What is considered combat appears to be using an offensive move. So you can literally hold down enforcer auto fire for 5 minutes and get it

[oblique void]

you dont have to do it all in one run and Im pretty sure you have to knock them down yourself

[nimble monolith]

ty

best items for commando rorr

[sacred wadi]

hello, if I have kin artifact on, will providence still spawn?

[heavy jungle]

lmao this isn't google

[nimble monolith]

sorry, best items for commando?

[primal valve]

yes

[sacred wadi]

thank you :)

[primal valve]

Most on hit stiff and attack speed.

[nimble monolith]

ty

[coral wigeon]

did they move command? i haven't gotten the hive cluster variant where it would spawn in 1, even after 10 hyper looping runs

[real shell]

is mace no damage until stage 3 teleporter or is it just stage 3?

[primal valve]

Disable new variants in rules section of game lobby, command isn't on new hive variants but is in every old one.

[primal valve]

No damage until, including fall damage, damage from shrines and damage to shields and barriers

[coral wigeon]

oh you can't even encounter the variant it's on unless you turn that off?

they really oughta fix that

[primal valve]

you can but it is 3/12 instead of 3/6 chance when going to stage 4

[grim stream]

Item recommendations for Acrid?

[primal valve]

Hit List, Defensive stuff, some Cooldown reducing stuff, acrid is solid all around, with most of his damage being unaffected by items

[quick radish]

I was wondering if survivor skills had proc coefficients like in 2. I'm pretty sure items dont but im curious about survivor abilities

[zenith garden]

Nope there are no proc coefficients in this

[quick radish]

ok, thats what I thought but I just wasn't 100% sure

[zenith garden]

And there are a few items that can proc other items but so far only fire shield and repulsion armor have been found

[real shell]

Well it seems like different skills have different odds of procing on hit effects

[quick radish]

yeah thats kinda what I was asking about

cuz it felt like when I was playing pilot, rapidfire just wasn't procing items as much often

so thats why I was curious

[real shell]

Isnt that more or less the same thing as a proc coefficient if thats the case?

[quick radish]

yeah

I just haven't found anything concrete anywhere

[real shell]

To me it feels like Han D hammer has a high chance of procs

[zenith garden]

As far as we know from testing for the wiki there are no co efficients

[real shell]

So its effectively what would be a rate of '1' in 2 for everythjng that can proc?

[oblique void]

I love when the game plays itself

[flat heath]

where is the illegal shipment?

[oblique void]

storage room in the contact light ship

[flat heath]

k

[wanton plank]

Does the Hit List damage increase affect Acrid's poison and trail?

[sonic storm]

Since it increases acrids base damage, and poison scales off of the damage you deal it indirectly increases it, and trail is just regular damage so that gets increased aswell

[cerulean coral]

What about golden gun?

[sonic storm]

You'd need to ask someone else for that, GG is a bit all over the place with how it interacts with some things and others

[gusty raft]

Golden gun has a cap for damage increase

Stacking it lowers the amount of gold to reach the cap

[primal valve]

Golden gun "only" seems to increase "white" damage (and Commandos knife wound damage) no increase to acrids poisons but inital hit of epidemics and melees it does increase.

[wanton plank]

Grand, thank ya

[cerulean coral]

Interesting thanks

[slender creek]

Any reason ive never seen ifrit?

[primal valve]

He is "native" only to 1 stage 3

[primal valve]

and unless you are running with dissonance it is 50% chance per loop to be on correct stage and I think 1/3 bosses on ancient valley to be ifrit

[spare belfry]

for huntress alt primary do you have to kill the 3 unique bosses only or can you kill acrid twice and providence?

[sonic storm]

i believe due to the wording on the unlock, 2 acrids are not unique

[spare belfry]

yeah thats what I thought

[sonic storm]

but I dont have concrete evidence to back my claim

[gusty raft]

You have tk kill 3 different

Acrid direskeeker and providence

[white forge]

what counts as "in combat" for enforcer's 5 minutes with the shield up challenge

is that just 5 minutes of enemies being able to spawn/can I put a rock on my primary for five minutes after the teleporter, or do I actively have to be blocking hits

[ancient turtle]

For some reason I unlocked that one on my first enforcer run because I didn't know I had the shield on. So I'm assuming it's pretty generous

[white forge]

I remember it being a huge pain in the original but I have yet to play enforcer at all outside of trials lmao

[gusty raft]

Enemies spawning

Or hitting the shield occasionally

It doesnt have to be 5 whole minuets in combat but you cant lower your sheild

[primal valve]

Teleporter must not be cleared, otherwise holding primary shield up or using artifact of kin to spawn wisps to hit your shield are 2 "easy" solutions.

[white forge]

gotcha, ty

ok yeah the the requirements are vv lax

just sat in a corner on stage 1 with the shield up and killed anything that spawned within range and I got it

[wintry carbon]

can artificers primary proc hyper threader multiple times?

[primal valve]

Seems to follow same "logic" as CHEF cleavers with damage numbers being white for first hit, tho will do command run to confirm

[primal valve]

1 Pew Per primary

[wintry carbon]

wow thats sad

[flat heath]

how does stacks of hyper threader even work

[pseudo vessel]

idk if this is the right channel but me and my friend are both trying to play the game online on switch and it keeps giving us "The connection timed out" error when we try to join each other's lobby

does anyone know a fix?

i looked online but there's like no info

[zenith garden]

Adds more bounces if I remember correctly

[flat heath]

oh fr?

that's cool

kinda useless in providence fight thou

[hard veldt]

Is there a way you are supposed to fight the final stage of providence

[fierce arch]

dont be in lazer beam

[heavy jungle]

Attack him, avoid getting hit

[fierce arch]

his melee attack is easily choreographed but very deadly if you forget to dodge, easiest phase though tbh

[cerulean python]

if u dont have i frame moves baiting him to put beam where you wont get trapped is important, or you can stick to the middle so you have space either way, tho try to be near ladders or drops if no horizontal beam is up bc he might make one

also when he slams with the multiple ghost u can stay close and if its the like 6 ghosts the middle is safe if its only the 2 you can just walk away

[hard veldt]

What are i frames

[zenith garden]

Invulnerability frames, so when you are safe during certain skills

[hard veldt]

Ah kinda thought so

[grim stream]

Are there any more arti buffs coming?

[nimble monolith]

which providence trials are the easiest to get gold on? trying to get artifact of prestige

[nimble monolith]

is there an achievement for ALL providence trials gold rank?

[primal valve]

No here is pic of my Gold Dificulty ranking of trials, I bumped most of platforming and race ones up a notch since they seem to be harder for others

[nimble monolith]

thanks!

[open finch]

how do you deal with hordes as sniper in a cramped space?

[tribal belfry]

how did u make ur hud smaller, mine is gigantic and i cant find the settings to make it smaller in the menu

[arctic shoal]

Run away and find a non-cramped space

[shell radish]

Question, what do y'all enjoy about returns? I just got done playing and I don't think the game is bad, but I think the switch from 3d to 2d along with the game(in my opinion) feeling kind of slow compared to ror2. I'm asking because personally its not for me and I don't plan on getting into it as much as I am with ror2, but I'd like to hear what others think about it to get an extra set of eyes and junk.

[open finch]

rip, valid ig. What about if it's something like magma level and the boss won't leave a cramped platform

[oblique void]

Me personally, I’ve always enjoyed platform games. But the main appeal for me is unlocking stuff as well as the chaos that comes with a good run( same reason I enjoy ror2)

[honest plover]

I personally enjoy the 2D more, to be honest. It's easier to keep track of what's going on when everything is on screen instead of in a 360 area around you. AoE attacks and effects also feel more satisfying as enemies tend to clump up together on a single platform instead of being all over the place.

Another thing I really enjoyed in RoRR are the Providence Trials. Opinions on it seems to be divisive, but I personally liked it a lot with the unique challenges and minigames it introduces.

[arctic shoal]

I much prefer 3d myself though I don’t mind 2d games

I would like an endgame goal like eclipse in ror2 to climb through

I don’t personally like challenge modes in games so providence trials hasn’t been particularly interesting

I also know this game tries to mirror ror1 in the way items are much more rng and you’re more at the mercy of what you happen to pick up

I personally prefer the agency and decision making process of itemisation in ror2

Being able to plan forward to make the best of shitty rng through good item decisions with the scrappers and printers is something I enjoyed a lot

[arctic shoal]

I charge the teleporter first then clear enemies before fighting the boss if its something like cremator

Or take a few shots, run away and heal up, shoot again

Or abuse pierce mechanics to hit it through walls where possible

If you’re just using regular shots you can stay pretty mobile and pop a perfect reloaded shot here and there to whittle them down

[open finch]

wait u can hit through walls?

I also assume sniper has a max range that's just off screen?

[primal valve]

Think it is tied to resolution somehow, but pic is edited to show all trials.

[arctic shoal]

Some attacks can

[tribal belfry]

ye some1 told me that but thanks, rlly annoying racism against 1440p smh

[arctic shoal]

Lol what

[tribal belfry]

was replying to patemaani

[rapid arrow]

snipe from another platform ig

sniper have alt secondary that can hit through walls

default doesn't

[tropic trellis]

hey where is everyone getting mods from? r2modman

[cerulean coral]

do we know if Han-D's blast drones hitting enemies but not dealing damage when you are really close to them a bug or intended?

[drifting laurel]

@mild sun kinda curious how the survivor reskins in RoRR work: is each reskin a collection of manually-created images, or do the reskins work off of swapped-out color palettes for each portion of the body?

[mild sun]

Its just palettes for the most part

[rapid arrow]

probably have layers for switching palettes but the image get compiled into one sheet

[bitter sleet]

yo just wondering, does head stompers gain damage based on how fast you are moving in general or how fast you are moving vertically?

[mild sun]

Could be in general. But it usually locks all other movement except for the downward slam. Also this is Risk of Rain Returns channel, not RoR2 just fyi lol

[rapid arrow]

?

[mild sun]

OH

I'm smart

I completely forgot that item lmao I'm used to Head Set in RoR2 being called the same thing by a youtuber

My bad amigos

[terse mirage]

Been trying to get providence's log for a while without success. Is there a special way to get it or have I just been unlucky?

[primal valve]

unlucky essentially it is semi rare

[terse mirage]

Would you say like a 1 in 10 drop rate or 1 in 25

[stuck kindle]

H3AD-5T v2 is a reference to head stompers in RoR 1 and everyone just calls it headstompers because that's what it is

[woeful ginkgo]

do you get the survivor log from beating Judgement with that survivor

[rapid arrow]

yes

works on multiplayer too

[woeful ginkgo]

there's judgemenr multiplayer?

[stuck kindle]

You don't get the log for beating judgement with that survivor

[rapid arrow]

oh judgement

the trial...

[woeful ginkgo]

:( i dont wanna play more lodr

[rapid arrow]

I keep making judgement = providence's name

[bitter sleet]

ik, but what about the pilot's dash tech?

the one where you dash into the ground and jump causing you to get flung

[lucid cave]

unfortunately it's just luck ;-;

speaking of which, best of luck to you lol

I only got the gilded wurms one a few days ago

[terse mirage]

Alright thanks

[raw hamlet]

alright, im sure its just how the game playes, but its kind of urking me. is there a way to make the character shoot where im pointing? or am i stuck with shooting in only direction im moving? (so far the huntress ignores this, will auto target)

[zenith garden]

Soon™️

[dreamy finch]

It's a planned feature to be able to switch aim direction.

[rapid arrow]

mouse aim coming soon

[raw hamlet]

that would be amazing

[rapid arrow]

would make me learn to not needing to look back though

[raw hamlet]

well, i hate the commander and i just unlocked the enforcer. both of which, will only shoot the direction their walking. but if i cant walk backwards and shoot.

the aiming would make those characters infinatly more enjoyable

for me anyway

[zenith garden]

if you start shooting in one direction you can hold the fire button and it will lock in that direction. allowing you to walk backwards

[rapid arrow]

well for now you need to turn back for a split second, hold down primary fire and then start walking forward again

[raw hamlet]

ah ok. ile give that a try. if that works that will heavily midigate the difficulty

[rapid arrow]

though that loss of distance is gonna add up

[raw hamlet]

yea. outrunning enemies that startt a train would be very had

[raw hamlet]

question: bots. how do i heal them?

[heavy jungle]

drones? they heal on their own

or you can use the drone repair kit equipment

[ancient turtle]

huh I thought you just re-buy them until they get too expensive or something. They just melt when elites look at them funny, do they not?

[heavy jungle]

yeah, but if drones are damaged and not destroyed, they can regen on their own

[gusty raft]

I may start a guprising

[median badge]

[heavy jungle]

they're called whatever you want them to be called

it's like the imps, game calls them Portal Imps, log calls them Black Imps

or reverse I can't remember

[median badge]

oh yeah, i forgot the imps were weird too

gilded sounds cool, so i’ll go with that

[mild sun]

yeah

covered in gold != consist of gold

[dim fog]

yo anyone need help?

[fading pond]

Is it just me sucking(probably), or does it feel like the game scales incorrectly? The increase bell dings twice sometimes 3 times for me and the beams of light indicating a difficulty change show 2 beams. It sounds wrong but it could be me huffing copium.
