[arctic burrow]

oh ok

[silver raptor]

How do you do the turtle achievement? I think i held my enforcer in shield for more than five minutes and hes constantly mauled by vanguards.

[ancient field]

you need to take some damage occasionally

not sure if you dealing damage also helps but

[stuck kindle]

play on drizzle with glass

[ancient field]

10%/10% it and just camp somewhere

and shoot every now and then

[arctic burrow]

get the artifact that only allows one enemy item on a stage and farm a good one, go in a corner on stage one, press c and hope

[silver raptor]

What's c?

Util?

[arctic burrow]

utility yes

it's c for me

[ancient field]

classic layout

[silver raptor]

I oughta try a full classic run sometime, sounds fun

[arctic burrow]

i just like it more

like, why the hell would you use your mouse in a game where you can't aim

it just makes it way more complicated and unprecise imo

also i'm used to z x c v because of celeste and hollow knight

[silver raptor]

Wait

Vanguards give poison?

[arctic burrow]

idk

[silver raptor]

Is jellyfish good for this?

[arctic burrow]

no it can just go through a wall and hit you from behind

idk what's good to be honest i haven't done the achievement yet but the wisp should be good because it stays at range and shoots on your height

[gusty raft]

Direseeker (bottom right of magma by chance) acrid (left or right of sunken on the top) and providence

You have to get all 3 of them in one run

[silver raptor]

Hold up.
Doesn't Vanguard Overlord count as event?

[gusty raft]

Who?

Havent heard of thar one

[silver raptor]

The imp from Origin Artifact

[gusty raft]

Maybe

Would be nice if it was

[arctic burrow]

i don't have origin because it's too hard 😭

[silver raptor]

Oh hey, wouldn't you know it.
Jelly fishes worked.
Thanks y'all

[gusty raft]

I have a tip

Use guardian hearts

Guardian hearts break artifact of glass

[arctic burrow]

yeah i use 1 guardian heart 1 cape and then a ton of movement

[gusty raft]

I usually use more than one heart and go with moca so i can build both atk speed and speed

[arctic burrow]

common items are whatever i feel like depending on the character and red items are always umbrella and then cursed dagger because the game kinda plays itself after that

[gusty raft]

Real

Cursed dagger is ridiculous

[arctic burrow]

and they also fear the rain

[gusty raft]

Personally one of my favorites is filial imprintling

Little blob

[arctic burrow]

what is filial imprintling

[gusty raft]

Also their movement speed scales with yours so theycjust SEIZE

[gusty raft]

Unlocked by pushing whorls off edges or making them keep themself safe 20 times

[arctic burrow]

oh i'm too lazy to do that rn

it's easy but boring

[gusty raft]

Yeah

[silver raptor]

What does the latter even mean?

[gusty raft]

What does latter mean

[arctic burrow]

the last point, in this case "making them keep themself safe"

[gusty raft]

Ah

Abbreviate it

[weak dagger]

it sounds like a joke lol

you push them into the hole

Where they're 'safe' from you

[silver raptor]

ah

[weak dagger]

the achievement is unlockable across multiple runs so you dont need to just farm pushing dudes in the hole if you dont want

[silver raptor]

thank you

[gusty raft]

Also blizz do you support the idea of the shmeglin?

[weak dagger]

i dont know what that is but that sounds like a word that I would make up

[gusty raft]

#1179077666729631904

I attempted to start a guprising for it

[weak dagger]

that idea is kinda shit but i do like it

[jovial rock]

personally i would love a shmeglin

[weak dagger]

maybe in the future if i make a mod myself I'll also hide shmeglin in it

no one will know which mod shmeglin came from

[stuck kindle]

making them kill themselves, its some tiktok shit kids do bc you cant mention suicide on the platform

[ancient field]

not to be confused with the shmoglin which is a wholly different beast

[gusty raft]

I was verycsleep deprived when I thought iof it

[weak dagger]

I'm a big fan of like exactly this kind of lowbrow idea but in an official product i can't in good conscience support it lol

thats where the golden elite item came from in ror2

[gusty raft]

Does the item at least sound fun?

[weak dagger]

a lemurian would have a chance of spawning with golden affix that made him 50 hooves fast and often he would just run off the stage and kill himself and you would never see him, but if you killed him you got the affix

the effect never made it in the game but the affix 'hat' is there lol

[gusty raft]

Thats awesome

[median badge]

if the shmeglin was in a mod, i would never be able to play base game again

[jovial rock]

maybe shmeglin dlc?

[gusty raft]

Idea

Translate shmeglin into a different language so it sounds cooler

[median badge]

shmogstial

[jovial rock]

shmoggical

[weak dagger]

@tidal marlin shmeglin

[tidal marlin]

sure

[weak dagger]

it was a honeypot we're kicking dee

[gusty raft]

I was curious to see if it would translate into anything

This is way more entertaining than it should be

Also another thought

What if his actual name is shmeglin but his boss name is something like “the gupfather”

[weak dagger]

man that makes the idea worse

thats like adding a pettable dog lmao

[vital fog]

Have you considered making it so every mod submitted to the workshop MUST add its own form of Shmeglin?

[gusty raft]

What if you can pet him after you win though?

Then it is really like adding a pettable dog

Actually more like a hampster

A dog is less likely to become a giant slime

[mild sun]

pettable dogs scientifically make any game better tho

like fishing minigames

[vital fog]

you can finally get on That One Twitter Account

[weak dagger]

this is untrue because it becomes less genuine of an addition over time and becomes a facsimile of genuinity instead driven by the popularity of the idea instead of the deep desire to actually add a pettable dog because you love petting dogs; it is essentially just a meme

[vital fog]

then add a pet-able cat

[mild sun]

but imagine yourself petting a dog

[weak dagger]

no petting needs like a 10 year cooldown

[vital fog]

10 year global cooldown, only 1 person every 10 years can pet it

[weak dagger]

no more pettable objects for a decade

[median badge]

hell yeah pet the dead sludge

[gusty raft]

What if his name was shmeglord

[mild sun]

you said objects and i got the idea of petting anything you can interact with

[gusty raft]

Ruler of the shmeglin

[mild sun]

pet the battery

[gusty raft]

Actually wait

What if shmeglin was his scientific name

Bc scientific names are always weird as hell

[mild sun]

birds are wild

[gusty raft]

And the description of the item he drops should be “im not a bad slime”

Now to think of an actual good name for the boss itself

Idea

Since hes gonna be a part of the gup geep gip family…

[mild sun]

gyp

[gusty raft]

@weak dagger hear me out on this one

Gop: primordial ooze

That will be his title and his name will be shmeglin which you can find in his item lore

[ancient field]

gep: the undivided

[gusty raft]

Those should be his minnions

And his item should summon 3 primordial gips, and each stack makes them stronger

Thoughts?

[sonic storm]

next video game pettable dog should explode and instantly gib you I think

[gusty raft]

That gave me another idea

You summon him by trying to pet a dog that melts into goo and reveals itself as him

[plush copper]

hey! Quick question, does Pilot's alternate special unlock require you to get all 10 kills in one go?

[gusty raft]

Whats the description?

[plush copper]

Kill 10 enemies without touching the ground or geysers - Which makes me realize that you'd have a hard time killing an enemy while on a geyser, implying that you do have to do it in one go

[gusty raft]

I believe you have to do it at once

[sonic storm]

Its in one go I believe aswell

[plush copper]

gotcha!

[gusty raft]

Its pretty easy if tou go dor it later in a run

Recommended get backup mags for it

Your secondary fire will be your best friend for this

[plush copper]

for sure

thank you both!

[vital fog]

You can also use the Glass artifact to make it much easier

[sonic storm]

You can also launch yourself with a geyser first and then deploy parachute for extra height

[plush copper]

I gotta unlock glass and/or command first...

but that doesn't seem too too hard

[gleaming pier]

You can touch ropes!! Just hop on a rope and place your specials below you.

[plush copper]

Ohhhhh that's super smart ty

[sonic storm]

voltaic mitts time to shine....

[dark yew]

for Acrids "Catchy" achievement, does it have to be from only one shot of epidemic, or is it a total count?

[grim stream]

Which sniper secondary should I use?

[sand island]

does this game have one shot protection? I've heard that ror2 does, and I just died to what very much felt like a one shot, so I was wondering if I have a skill issue or if you actually can die in one hit

[astral ibex]

It depends on if you want more crowd damage or single target damage

[grim stream]

So default would be crowd control and alt would be single target?

[ancient field]

it does but it's tied to an item - guardian heart

[astral ibex]

Yes

[sand island]

kk, thank you!

[ancient field]

you're welcome!

[grim stream]

Thanks!

[astral ibex]

You're welcome

[arctic stream]

Do you need the dlc to get the non void related item in the latest update

[astral ibex]

This is for rorr

But yes

[arctic stream]

Ah shit I can’t read

I just read game question and assumed it was ror2

[astral ibex]

The one for ror2 is right above console discussion

[hollow spear]

idk if this counts but what are these sprites from?

i found them in the files

but i havent found them in game

[woeful ginkgo]

Judgement, the final Providence Trial

[ancient field]

special stage in judgement

[hollow spear]

ohhh

okok

[ancient field]

the final stage to be precise

[woeful ginkgo]

Isn't it just the final stage?

[ancient field]

yeee

but it only shows up there so, it is sort of a special stage

[supple spruce]

depends on if you want aoe or mobility

I'd generally use the default secondary but both are viable

[halcyon kayak]

What does the umbrella do?

[gleaming pier]

Gives like 10 sec of i-frames at the start of every boss fight as well as dealing DOT to all enemies

[halcyon kayak]

Wow, that's strong!

[gleaming pier]

Its situational but yes very useful

[leaden scaffold]

anyone know an easy way to kill providence while backflipping

like will drones or dot work

[lilac pecan]

does artifact of cognition cognant count toward the 3000 kill objective ?

[supple spruce]

I recommend the doll

I don't remember the name, it's completely useless for anything else

but it makes the backflipping achievement easy

[leaden scaffold]

ohhh thats samrt

smart

[cedar cradle]

So if I thought ror1 was ok but didn't really get the hang of it, will I like rorr or should I skip it

[supple spruce]

the core gameplay is mostly the same

the main things that were added are the providence trials and the new survivors

if you like the look of those get it

if you don't think those are enough to make you like the game don't

[cedar cradle]

I guess I'll think abt it. Is it easier or harder?

[supple spruce]

hmm

arguably easier?

it's weird

lynx totem can be pretty hard if it's elite

but some of the new items are really strong

and lots of the alt abilities are really strong

mithrix is harder

I don't know if the addition of drone scrappers/upgrade stations has changed the amount of items you get

early on overloading enemies were pretty awful, but I think they've been nerfed

[cedar cradle]

Idk ... maybe I'll play more ror1 before I decide to buy it

[supple spruce]

but I've mostly been doing providence trials where they don't show up, so I haven't really played with them post nerf

yea that's fair

the gameplay is mostly the same so if you don't like the core loop in ror1 you won't like rorr

unless your problem is you not liking any survivors, and you think one of the alt loadouts/new survivors will fix that

[random marlin]

I have a question about the sprites in RoRR, is there like a general palette scheme that every pixel is pulled from to determine colors or are the palettes individually created per sprite?

[fierce arch]

they prob used palette schemes creating them but like sprites are fully colored

[runic fox]

Mithrix ain't even in this game.

[random marlin]

Yes, that is kind of what I mean, if there is a palette they pulled the colors from creating the sprites. That way if say custom sprites were made they could use the same palettes and have no issues with colors

[supple spruce]

providence, whoops

[vital fog]

I believe so, but do not quote me on that

[rapid isle]

it's done, I'm free, no more questions for me

[elder patrol]

100% all gold trials when?

[rapid isle]

soon, halfway done, freedom is an illusion

[vague cradle]

Which equipment should I use on Hunrtress for the monsoon run to obliterate for the skin?

[mild sun]

quick question, is the pilot aerobatics wavedash bug intentional? or will it be patched

[vague cradle]

I'm using artifacts, command, swarm, and the one where killing enemies drops items.

[rapid isle]

I don't think it is intentional, but i don't think it will be patched either

[rapid isle]

this sounds like a ror2 question, this is the rorr board. Still, I would use the tesla coil

[nocturne light]

i want prestige and have been grinding for eight hours but have been successful
is there any way to give myself prestige with the games files without ending the game?

i mean like corrupting the files cus i dont wana but i want to do origin and i need prestige

[gleaming tangle]

I found in the settings that you can change the games zoom , would you say it's alright to make it zoom out to show a huge portion of the map does it maks the game arbitrarily easy and it's better experienced on the default zoom?

[nocturne light]

well i mean its your choice but i play on 1.21x zoom and thats pretty fun so

[vague cradle]

oh it is, my bad

[nocturne light]

also you cant go below 1x zoom

hey but i would relly like some help with this question from before pls vvv
i want prestige and have been grinding for eight hours but have been successful

[rapid isle]

it makes finding the teleporter bearable, but also a bit more difficult to follow what is going on in the screen. I think most people goes for x1.0 or close to it anyway, the teleporter and chests are too important.

[rapid arrow]

origin artifact unlock does not require the prestige artifact

[nocturne light]

but i want prestige

[rapid arrow]

there is a way to edit save files and you can always backup the old save file in case of a corruption

[nocturne light]

how

[rapid arrow]

https://dyno-bytes.github.io/precipitation/
this is the link to the file editor

remember to backup

[nocturne light]

ty

it didnt work

help

[rapid arrow]

you mean you can't get prestige artifact by editing?

[gleaming tangle]

Wow , 1x zoom and I got to providence first game

[nocturne light]

no nothing changes

[gleaming tangle]

That really did make a massive difference

or maybe the fact I picked up 2 ATG mk.11 and 3 happiest masks

[nocturne light]

i really want prestige :(

[rapid arrow]

well I never used it really, I just know it exists

do the trials then i g

[nocturne light]

i have been trying for eight hours straight

[drifting laurel]

had a Huntress run last night where I was able to get the Boar Beach variant twice in a row, killed both the undershirt boars and teleporter boars, then got the Acrid stage variant, then killed Providence...but I still didn't unlock the Pierce alt ability.

is the game bugged or is the wiki incorrect about Boar Beach counting for the achievement?

[rapid arrow]

look up for trials that are easy to gold

#providence-trials message

[mild sun]

Has to be three different variants, it can't just be one variant twice. Direseeker, Boar Beach, Acrid, Providence, and I think one more that I'm missing? Maybe the Cognation artifact Golem?

[drifting laurel]

Boar Beach, Providence, and Acrid would be three different ones

[mild sun]

Oh didn't see the acrid in that message

Sorry

[worldly zealot]

cognation golem and imp vanguard

[harsh furnace]

And iirc overloaded magma wyrm

[cursive thorn]

Overloaded isn't hidden

In any case, direseeker, acrid, prov is probably the easiest way to go

I'd guess boar doesn't count for whatever reason

[rancid sparrow]

so how are y'all playing miner and acrid. Of the melee survivors I've played (I'm on my 4th win so haven't gotten merc yet) but those are the two that make the least sense to me, albeit for different reasons.

For miner the problem is pretty simple. Dude just has no way of surviving. I'm aware his dashes have invincibility frames, but given his back has massive end lag, it basically leaves you with only a .25 whatever second frame from his m2 which is on a 6 second cd. Maybe its jsut a skill issue, but that tiny amout of safety isn't something I can make stretch that good.

For acrid idk how to build him. I get that you don't want to play him much in melee given that he also has no safeguards to make that happen outside of a shite stun who's end lag is almost as long as the cc it applies, but idk how his abilities interact with items, because it seems like neither his slime trail nor his disesase proc anything, and if (big if) that is the case his damage should take a nose dive after just a couple stages. But people are rating him pretty highly so clearly it doesn't and I'm missing something.

I also haven't mucked with his alt abilities much at all. As fun as the teleport seems he needs the damage off slime trail too bad, meanwhile bubble mistifies me because its not like you can pull the shit you can with drifter by hitting with both your melee and your boxes, because the bubble gets pushed too far. So what just leave it in your grease trail and wait?

But yeah, reckoning I'm missing something so lemme know

[cursive thorn]

The big thing with miner is simply, when scorched or whatever, secondary dash doesn't go on cool down when used, so you spend a lot of time just trying to keep that up as much as possible

Fill the bar up and start zooming around, refilling your bar any time you get a chance

[rancid sparrow]

Refill is pretty slow tho, at least normally, do you recomend the alt utility?

[cursive thorn]

I think most people use it, I'm not mega experienced on miner, but between that and just, trying to not let it fall off in the first place, you should be able to keep it up for a long time

[rancid sparrow]

I do have a nasty habit of using it for map mobility, I'll try to be better disciplined with it plus use the explosion.

Also reminded that this game doesn't have animation canceling so dodging using the i frames just doesn't work on miner

[supple spruce]

acrid is good because he really doesn't need items to win

pandemic + poison trail and spend all of your time running around

sure his damage is lower than other survivors, but his uptime is the highest in the cast

also leeching seed is super good on him

[rancid sparrow]

so items do or don't work on his trail+pandemic

or jsut some do

The rest of what you said honestly makes good sense, just curious about that last bit

[supple spruce]

I think pandemic procs items when it spreds, but trail doesn't proc items

but I'm not 100% sure

I'm pretty sure that each tick of poison on pandemic procs leeching seed though, so that item is super strong on acrid

[rancid sparrow]

gotcha

[supple spruce]

also I need to mess around with the alt primary, since apparently the damage amp on it stacks

idk if it's better than the regular one but it sounds interesting

[rancid sparrow]

oooh kay there we go I remember thinking I saw it proc a dagger once and only once and so was confused since I figured I couldn't be that unluckey. But if its on spread that tracks better

but overall the same "leg it while everyone withers" gameplan from ror2 still works despite losing the %health gimmick of poison.

[supple spruce]

pretty much, you don't do as well super late into the game

but acrid is one of the best survivors if you aren't looping

the only problem I have is that half of the alt abilities are just bad

the teleporting puddle is just worse than the trail

and the bubble is a complete meme

now, I'd by lying if I said that the bubble is 100% useless, but you really don't need or want to use it

[harsh furnace]

But it's event

Isn't it

[cursive thorn]

is it? Ive gotten it as early as like, stage 2 teleporter boss

[harsh furnace]

bro what

[cursive thorn]

its just, a high difficulty boss lol

[harsh furnace]

damn, I wish I could test that

[cursive thorn]

I think hidden bosses for the achievement/skill just refers to the special bosses you can trigger to spawn,

idk about the special imp though, no idea if that one counts

[rapid arrow]

overloading worm is just magma worm with overload elite type dawg

[brisk apex]

wait till this guy sees the volatile magma worm

[harsh furnace]

I just wanna see the frenzied magma worm tbh

[harsh furnace]

tbh I dunno at this point, everyone says it ain't event/hidden, but I unlocked with acrid, provi and overloaded

[brisk apex]

doesnt exist

[harsh furnace]

It does

You just have to mod it in

[brisk apex]

yeah so thats the part that makes it NOT in the game

[harsh furnace]

*yet

[rapid arrow]

would you have any chance fought artifact of origin imp

[gleaming pier]

This is a question for the devs but is there a reason that the mace replica equipment is different in the game than it showed in the “50 facts about RoRR” youtube short?

[proven knoll]

how do people mod rorr

[timid badger]

they reworked it at least 3 times between then and now
probably just didn't feel right

[mild sun]

how do you turn on the second skills bar over the character?

nvm just found out

[cunning sedge]

alt utility is not great anymore, after the iframe nerf on the dash you can't avoid the self-damage

25% hp for 25% heat is not worth the vast majority of the time, building heat is very quick

You kinda have to more or less know how enemies attack, their timings, what enemies you can stunlock etc. Just having a rough idea is good

Also, pro-tip: While Scorching your default dash has no cooldown so you can just dash>dash>dash etc, not holding the dash, but just doing another dash as soon as you can

If you hold dash it drains heat very fast

as for backblast, it takes a bit of getting used to but its nice, the hitbox is pretty big, you get iframes and it stuns

Also default m1 hitbox is really big, so you can abuse it to keep some distance

[sullen linden]

For anyone else wondering this: It's under the accessibility option in the 2nd page of the options!

[burnt gate]

what are the best skills for merc?

[cunning sedge]

Parry always, alt dash is probably better

and either special

[rapid arrow]

play what suits you

[sullen linden]

Pretty much always when it comes to skill choices: The ones you enjoy playing with

[burnt gate]

is miner good?

[sullen linden]

I enjoy playing as him

[sick imp]

where does the beam drone spawn?

[placid turret]

Best character if you ask me

[cunning sedge]

yep

[burnt gate]

Which of his skills should i use?

[cunning sedge]

I play full default

some people prefer alt m1

[sullen linden]

As with any: The ones you like

[cunning sedge]

^

[sullen linden]

IIRC it can spawn anywhere after looping, or on the final stage
Can also get it by combining 3 laser drones

[cunning sedge]

I've gotten it a few times on the final stage

[shadow nimbus]

how to not get rolle

enemies are very tanky

there are many

i have too much money

is it just impossible to avoid damage

[sullen linden]

Depending on your character, it really isn't
A lot of 'em have ways to avoid attacks. Placement and kiting enemies are very important

[shadow nimbus]

it feels like i accumulate money too fast

and it takes forever to find items

[elder patrol]

Well tbh general strat is just loot during tp

Get familiar with map layout also helps, you can plan out the loot route and tp route

[shadow nimbus]

loot after or during? i kinda just explore the map before doing tp

[red burrow]

Both

[elder patrol]

Both

rmb the loot spot when u find tp lol

[shadow nimbus]

what loot spot

i feel so weak

enemies take so long to kill

[elder patrol]

Rmb chests, shrines when you go around finding tp so u can go back while charging tp

[sullen linden]

Oooh, that marks 'em?

[shadow nimbus]

am i supposed to be overwhelmed by swarming amounts of enemies by nature

i got this issue in ror2 too

i just get swarmed and i feel like i barely do damage

the amount of time it takes for me to kill 1 enemies has 3 more spawn around me

[ancient turtle]

The thing that got me to beat my first Monsoon was somebody here saying that there is no attack in the game that you can't dodge with jump and/or directional movement

So I just started running away from my problems until cooldowns sorted themselves out... seems to have worked for me

[ancient field]

doubles as (not) good life advice

[sullen linden]

Eh, avoiding consequences your problems 'till you've got the means to deal with them kinda sounds like excellent advice

[real shell]

Activate the teleporter before exploring

[real shell]

This means you're probably taking too long, there will be lots of enemies still, and you need to be patient dealung with large groups

[spare meadow]

Do we know what items can proc other item? I know fire shield does but I don't know anything else

[zenith garden]

so far we know repulsion armor does as well

we are still testing

[gusty raft]

Shmeglin

Looking for recruits to the shmeglin army

[oblique void]

What you need

[gusty raft]

Shmeglin advocates

[oblique void]

Ight sounds good

[gusty raft]

Theres a section for it in feedback and suggestions

[old snow]

christ almighty how many jumps do you need to get to the gold chest between bay 2 and 3 in contact light

[zenith garden]

is that beneath th e floor or behind three pillers?

[old snow]

behind 3 pillars

im aware that you can enter from below but i only got 2 hoopoo on me

[zenith garden]

theres crates in the bay above that is an easier access

[old snow]

how

[zenith garden]

the top of them

[old snow]

ah got it thx

[arctic burrow]

What exactly does the Ancient Scepter do with Engi? Does it just give an extra charge and max placed turret or does it buff DPS too?

[arctic burrow]

Is this item's cooldown reduction based on % or seconds?

[heavy jungle]

only charges and max placed

[heavy jungle]

% based

[arctic burrow]

ok so either the golden gun or the other red item

[heavy jungle]

pretty sure embryo does nothing with amethyst

[arctic burrow]

i'll take the other red item because the golden gun probably won't work on turrets because they technically don't have money

[primal valve]

Embryo has chance to give 2 charges with amethyst

[heavy jungle]

oh, nvm

[arctic burrow]

the equipment only gives 1 charge, it'll probably give two

[heavy jungle]

thx for the info

ah it only works for skills that have charges right

[primal valve]

it is 30% chance I really need to setup way to get clips for these small interaction stuffs

Pretty much since it resets twice, you get 2 charges

[heavy jungle]

it resets cooldowns twice if embryo procs so it makes sense

[heavy jungle]

yeah at first I thought it was a blanket statement for all skills lol

[arctic burrow]

Why the hell can I only place 3 turrets with 2 sceptres?

[heavy jungle]

further scepters after the first just reduce special skill cooldown

[arctic burrow]

cringe

[heavy jungle]

there are detailed descriptions of every item in the logbook or on the wiki that tell you this stuff btw

[arctic burrow]

wiki isn't real

[heavy jungle]

well, most of this stuff

[heavy jungle]

what

[arctic burrow]

the game just came out, it barely has anything and i can't even find it with google half of the time

nevermind now it exists properly

[heavy jungle]

there's a link to it like, 2 channels down

[primal valve]

Correction it does nothing got embryo proc and didn't get 2 charges on turret, will keep testing some incase I was wrong about it proccing.

[heavy jungle]

huh, I thought that would work, thx for testing

[primal valve]

Yeah seems like since wording is "Reset cooldowns" And embryo proc makes it happen twice at the same time they act on same charges cooldown thus only resetting once.

[arctic burrow]

bruhhh

i feel scammed

engi on judgement is way more difficult than i thought btw

haven't gotten past the third stage once yet

[primal valve]

Sorry stated possible interaction with asumption without properly testing first.

Engi gets insane once you get timekeepper's secret

[heavy jungle]

once you get time keeper's secret it's pretty nuts

[arctic burrow]

i mean what you're saying would confirm my confusion about why it hasn't procced once in like 10 uses

[primal valve]

Had first embryo proc 12 uses in so it is possible variance.

[gusty raft]

@viral ice why do you wish to oppose the shmeglin?

[viral ice]

s'not funny.

[oblique void]

Bros a top tier hater

I kinda respect it

[arctic burrow]

the problem is living until then

[spare meadow]

Afterburner is nuts as well

[arctic burrow]

i hate time keeper's secret

just as usual it failed me and toggled AFTER I died

like thanks for helping out my turrets survive the stage, but it doesn't help me in the slightest

[gusty raft]

Yeah its only really good for engineer

[arctic burrow]

the only good thing rn is that i'm getting lucky and a volatile lemurian is constantly feeling suicidial on stage 1

[strong idol]

do ghosts from cognition count for miner's challange?

[primal valve]

Should since you get gold, xp (and items if boss cognition)

[strong idol]

challange was easily done with kin + dissonance, just had to reroll a few times

[primal valve]

For engineer Stage 3 you can pretty much sit on the upper left small platform and only Lynx spear throwers can reach you and only if they are on upper levels themselves, letting you freely spam rockets to kill everything.

Also can drop mines and turrets down by jumping back and forth the upper platforms

[arctic burrow]

don't remember what the first one is but i got the max amount of barriers through a temporary item vending machine with topaz brooches, you can probably do it with glass though

[primal valve]

Barrier caps at your max HP+Shield, so with glass and 1 topaz you need 1-3 keills to get max barrier.

[arctic burrow]

artifact of glass, i forgor how to get it

[primal valve]

Artifact of glass, Located in Old Ancient Valley variants. double checking it was all old ones

[sullen linden]

(It increases your damage output by 500%? and reduces your max health to 10%?)

[primal valve]

Yeah all old Ancient Valley variants have Glass, you need to hit multiple buttons relatively quickly Spoilering simple method ||
Loader default special can cheese it by placing 1 pylon top right of first button, and another next to last button. ||

[odd storm]

Max Barrier can also be achieved with Chef's Cook, as one of the dishes just gives you max barrier

[finite flume]

I just don't get miner. How do you not die at melee range

Sure I have iframes but it's still difficult to get melee attacks off

Not to mention blazing and overloading enemies just feel impossible to kill

[primal valve]

Your melee has suprisingly big hit box, jumping avoids many attacks, while heat bar is full you get scorching durning which your secondary has no cooldown and taps don't take too much heat away.

[ancient field]

scorching state lets you use your other abilities with no cooldown, it's a game of weaving basic attacks between your abilities

[finite flume]

I lose half my health getting to scorching

[primal valve]

Spacing your attacks helps with that.

And backing off while attacking

[finite flume]

So melee a couple hits, dash, melee, dash?

Also the stun on the utility feels so absurd. Half the stun is wasted because the ability sends me away from the thing I just stunned and want to hit

[primal valve]

Depending on situation you can turn away first to backdash thru the enemies to be closer.

[finite flume]

Hm I'll try that, thanks

[primal valve]

But it is mostly being aware of your and enemies range.

[cerulean python]

you can cancel backblast endlag with crush. if you jump before crush u can go a bit faster as well, helps u make the most of the stun

[gleaming tangle]

What is this shiny thing?

[gusty raft]

Prismatic shard

One of many that give you a skin if you get them

Theyre very hidden

[gleaming tangle]

I can't pick it up

[primal valve]

Prismatic shard skin for character you haven't unlocked. ||Mercenary||

[hollow arch]

i got these achievemenets but my game crashed can i get the in game achievements back or no

[primal valve]

Should be able to in worst case, save editing can be used to recover lost progress. #1171729072204816424 message

[twin gust]

for the pilot challange kill 10 enemies without touching the ground or geysers do i have to do that in one go same for kill 30 enemies after launchin them using airstrike?

[vital fog]

Yes for the first one, no for the second

[twin gust]

alr thank you

[sturdy widget]

do classified access codes work on providence

[grand burrow]

Yes they do!

[primal valve]

Also ropes don't fail the first one

[twin gust]

thx for the hint

[odd storm]

It's quite silly, but it only works on phase 1

[silver raptor]

Can i get that? If yes, how?

nevermind, found it

[stuck kindle]

yeah with merc it should be pretty easy

need some courage 😜

[primal mason]

What kind of sustain items are good for sniper? i feel like she doesnt get a lot out of leeching seed or other healing items really and its best to focus on movement but idk

[rich reef]

do the unlockable survivor skins count towards the game completion %?

[primal valve]

Some do some don't, Gold background achievements don't count as they are treated as secret

[gleaming pier]

Why doesn’t han-d get to keep drones between stages. Drifter keeps scrap, miner keeps heat, bandit keeps showdown, han-d loses all mini-drones at new stage

[silver raptor]

wrong channel mb

[tiny plover]

give me all the stats cap

if someone have all that data

[white forge]

what counts as killing providence while backflipping

you can't shoot during the actual animation so can it be like immediately right after or does it have to be an ongoing dot that kills him during it

[frosty marten]

Whats the three balls stacked ontop of eachother with yellow markings shrine do

Is it just another version of the normal shrine because i cant find any difference

[cerulean python]

has to be some kind of dot, equipment, drones etc. i found lost doll to be an easy way. did it on command and stacked infusions to up its damage

[white forge]

ooh lost doll is a good idea

didn't think of that

[cerulean python]

yeah the instant nature of the dmg is nice

[cursive dock]

brother what is the size of the risk of rain returns tiles before I make a mistake making this mod edit: never mind figured out its 32x32

[primal valve]

They are just shrines

[frosty marten]

Huge

Anyone know where i can find an item description mod

[rapid arrow]

shrine but magma barracks

[graceful moon]

How do Enforcer's Primaries compare dps wise?

[winter pilot]

how do you mark chests? i heard someone say you could

[scarlet dove]

pretty sure shotgun is better other than you can't arc it up or down ledges but don't take my dumbass for it some nerd will probably have numbers

[rare grove]

what are monster log drop rates?

[fervent copper]

You can’t

[winter pilot]

😭

[scarlet dove]

why does engie's special when upgraded with scepter say "for 30 seconds"

[jovial field]

that... seems like an error

maybe submit that in #1113080759952097340

[lime abyss]

any tips for localized sun? preferably aside from use flamethrower

[quick edge]

when you fall off a ledge it stays level with that area

you can spawn it, yeet under and move it around without having to do vertical stuff

this also counts for jumping, you can spawn it on the ground and strafe side to side through enemies while jumping and just melt

very good for clustered enemies, also works with terra surge and small enemies you cpawn sun, surg up and sit on platform while enemies run into it

you do risk standing stil though so be careful platform doesnt mean invulnerability

[primal valve]

Also hanging on ropes/ladders lets you stay still while moving sun left/right.

[mild sun]

tf is this ?

[brittle rock]

It’s found in storage of risk of rain

Hidden chest

[rapid arrow]

a dark colored chest in storage yeah

[lime abyss]

interesting

[mild sun]

thanks

[rapid arrow]

and no gold unlock indication you need to walk into each chest-like and press interact

[mild sun]

does is have a low chance to spawn or is it just kinda hidden ?

[lime abyss]

it's there every run

[lime abyss]

you prefer ice wall or terra surge with it? i've tried surge it just feels kinda weird and ice wall is really strong

[rapid arrow]

you will find it but it's on a random location in storage

[wary tinsel]

Is the max limit for syringe stacks still 13 like it was in ror1, or is the max stack limit gone now?

[mild sun]

ty

[silver vessel]

Its also the best white in the game

Even if you got it once you can get it every run in storage

[ripe sluice]

does judgement trial scale with time?

[primal valve]

Scales some but nothing too drastic.

[ripe sluice]

so for example if im using life savings to open chests form captian brooch aand its taking really long to open each chest, am i gonna get killed cause of scaling?

[fierce arch]

in judgement there is no scaling @ripe sluice

[rapid arrow]

or you open a lot bunch of chests so that scaling doesn't matter

[ripe sluice]

thank you all I needed to know hahaha

[primal valve]

There is

[gleaming pier]

Probably not.

[fierce arch]

the scaling is not based off of time, i think

never tested really, just reading off of trial data

[primal valve]

Well provi had different HP values for different time runs with same amount of stages.

That is main one I base my claim from.

Hmm

brb ~10 minutes.

[fierce arch]

i read "stage_diff_scale" : 0.38, so i assumed it just incremented difficulty off of stages done, maybe its in addition to time scaling

[primal valve]

Testing 10 minutes stage 1 volatile lemurian HP, forgot sniper Drone shows HP

Like there is scaling but is unnoticeable under 30 minute runs atleast to me

[solar patrol]

are there any alternate skins to unlock for ||robomando||?

[stuck kindle]

I don't think so

I bet they'll add some after a while

[solar patrol]

dang

that's unfortunate

[primal valve]

Soon

https://youtu.be/PI6uHOE-UKM

[primal valve]

754 HP at 10 minutes and 393 HP at ~10 seconds for Volatile Lemurian on stage 1

[split zealot]

Captain brooch chests also increase in price

[raven nebula]

ok so like

what is the best way to deal with overloading enemies as merc

do i need to not use his prime secondary?

enemies just chunk you in this game

[flat pike]

Does strange battery spawn in multiplayer?

[stuck kindle]

if you're on drizzle yes

[flat pike]

Ohhh

[quick edge]

Sorry for the late reply: I actually prefer Terra surge for the movement. It’s tougher to position with ice wall cause then you need to kinda stay still whereas I think the best playstyle is strafing through enemies

[vital fog]

Is it known how far away Workshop Support is? Just an estimate works too

[stuck kindle]

no

[woven idol]

When unlocking Chef, do I need to have all 5 items at once, or can I just pick up a fruit and discard it afterwards?

Trying to do this without Command is getting to be much harder than I thought lmao

[stuck kindle]

yeah doing it without command is pure chance

[woven idol]

Almost got it earlier today via an adaptive chest but I reacted too slow 😭

[white forge]

without command you either loop a bunch and get a ton of items until it pops or you just get lucky

[rare grove]

which stage has the spawns the imp overlords the most common?

[bitter sleet]

yo just wondering, does headstompers scale damage with total speed or just vertical speed?

like if I were to do an overcharge with pilot combined with headstompers will it cause max damage?

[vital fog]

Is there any possibility of a "Splitscreen" mode for Local Multiplayer?

[rapid arrow]

id say chances are non-zero

[timid badger]

Couple months at least

According to sarn I think (possibly nk)

[vital fog]

Thanks!

[white forge]

do we know if chef cook's temporary items all expiring as a stack rather than individually like other temp items is intended behavior

[ashen heath]

whats the easiest way to kill 12 enemies with gold plated bomb?

[rapid arrow]

command and kin and glass artifact

[ashen heath]

thanks

[fading jewel]

If you take artificer you can get multikill 15 at the same time

[heavy jungle]

But that would require playing artificer

[ashen heath]

also rq where do i find mu construct?

[oak beacon]

It's on a variant of Desolate Forest, I think 4?

Should be on the wiki

[ashen heath]

THANK YOU

caps

[rapid arrow]

you can only collect mu construct inside the game

[mystic swallow]

Question about unlocking robomando does it need to be done in consecutive runs from time you put artifact in first box or can u just do parts of it whenever

[primal valve]

As long as you don't loot the box you can do it seperated

[mystic swallow]

and if you die i assume u have to start again

[primal valve]

I'd have to re-test that but when I was messing around the chest will spawn every run until you loot it.

[mossy trail]

why does rainstorm cause every single enemy to spawn as elite as of stage 4ish? shouldnt that be something monsoon does

[mild sun]

how do I get robomando, and is there a setting for extra information when picking items up?

[heavy jungle]

It's in the pins in #theorycrafting, and there's probably a custom lang file somewhere with all the pickup texts replaced with detailed descriptions, but no in-game setting for it

[worn sky]

it's really not clear

can you do the same but with han-d's hammer instead?

or punches

and preferably on small lemurians

oh wait right

drone just
shows hp lmfao

[mild sun]

why did the first map of judgement spawn a case the first few times i played it, now it doesnt spawn at all?

[worn sky]

you've put an equipment into that thing in your normal runs right

[manic hazel]

gang what the hell is blighted

I did nt even know that was an elite for an enemy

[gusty raft]

Invisible enemy thar can have two elite effects

However it cannot get overloading or leeching

It has a ton of health and is invisible when not moving

[manic hazel]

jeez i thought it was like a new void enemy elite

[stray crystal]

I've actually never seen one of those normally

I have only seen them in the Providence Trial

[manic hazel]

Yeah no like blighted clayman or normal enemies I never expect them cause they insta kill me more than normal bosses

[heavy jungle]

It's only on monsoon I believe

[stray crystal]

Oh fair enough

I play on drizzle icl

games hard

Got my command artifact though so I might bump the difficulty to rainstorm

[heavy jungle]

Blighted are tough they have like 7 times and the health and 3 times the dmg of a normal enemy lol

[stray crystal]

that's nuts

didn't they nerf overloading elites too

[manic hazel]

Ive been playing in rainstorm and theres elites that doesnt exist in that difficulty??

[heavy jungle]

Just blighted

[heavy jungle]

They nerfed the range of the lightning, it was bigger than intended

[stray crystal]

Oh. What is the elite variant that gives the enemy a stupid amount of damage?

think it was yellow

[spare dome]

My PS4 controller keeps bugging out when playing on PC. The game keeps reading the L1 button (utility skill) input as down on the d-pad. I remapped utility to d-pad down to be able to play, but this means I can't use loader's grapple at an upwards angle. Is this a known issue? Anyone know a fix?

[tender gazelle]

do elites from artifact of honor give more xp

[stray crystal]

I'd imagine

they're elites

[heavy jungle]

From what I've tested elites do not give bonus xp

[tender gazelle]

at all??

[heavy jungle]

None at all yeah

[tender gazelle]

crazy

alright i guess i can scrap the insane idea of using honor for that miner unlock

[heavy jungle]

Just loop on drizzle with 200/10 or smth

[tender gazelle]

i mean this one

[stray crystal]

yeah I don't know how tf you're supposed to do that

[sullen linden]

Glass, and use the immunity abilities

[stray crystal]

I know in ROR2, if you get anything that gives you shields and you get hit it won't count against you because it's not health damage

(One health and all health to shield conversion FTW)

idk how that works in RORR

[worn sky]

you're wrong tho

[manic hazel]

I havent even unlocked Miner and that hurts omg

[worn sky]

blue shield health still counts as losing health

[stray crystal]

Wait fr?

[worn sky]

or you know, falling in max hp

yeah

[manic hazel]

I think you use topaz brooch

[worn sky]

barrier is the one that you use for those unlocks

[stray crystal]

Yeah that too but I thought the Blue shield worked too

well

topaz brooch works yeah

[worn sky]

either way miner hotstreak is just glass drizzle 2x damage dealt

you can also use prophet's cape

and hermit's scarf

[jovial field]

I got hot streak with Glass+200/999

so if you do take damage the run just ends

[worn sky]

yeah good idea

[stray crystal]

10 levels tho

that's gross

[jovial field]

not stage 10. level 10

so it's not that bad

[stray crystal]

Ohhhhhhhh

[jovial field]

you're usually at level 10 by like, what... stage 3 or 4 I think?

[stray crystal]

sum like that

[worn sky]

by stage 2

[stray crystal]

not very long in

idk bout 2

at least for me

[heavy jungle]

Oh right I thought it was the level 20 one

[tender gazelle]

i got it anyways

got it by just farming lemurians for 8 minutes with this setup lol

[arctic burrow]

what's the W pick here?

definitely not snowflake, but both drugs and knife sound really good

[stray hearth]

Have the devs said anything about when support for mods will come out?

[heavy jungle]

Snowflake isn't actually that bad, cause enemies tend to bunch up around the turrets

But I think I just took syringe here

[arctic burrow]

yeah i did the same just now

ok, tougher choice: drugs or lens maker's glasses?

i think that lens maker's glasses are better because of harvester's scythe

and the furry head

i think that although syringes are cool the furry head might give more attack speed

rarity doesn't mean much, example: would you prefer the hero's cape or the thing that gives you a really low chance to proc equipment twice?

also both syringe and lens maker's glasses are the same rarity

i think that although both are good crit chance is really good in this providence trial because of the (finally remembered the name) predatory instincts and harvester's scythe

[flat heath]

where

[sullen linden]

IIRC that's in a chest in the background in the Risk of Rain's upper left keycard room

[flat heath]

wait what

[sullen linden]

Yeah, it's one of the silhouetty chests

[flat heath]

so it's in storage?

[sullen linden]

If that's the name of the upper-left keycard room on Risk of Rain, yes

[heavy jungle]

Yeah it's one of the background chests there

[jovial field]

The advice you were given was not correct. They're pointing you towards ||The Toxin||; the item you pointed out is ||Mu Construct||.

• Vague Hint: ||It's on one of the first stages.||
• Specific location: ||It's hidden behind a false wall on Desolate Forest, variant 4, near the middle of the stage.||

As per the wiki, a survivor with good range and mobility is best, since you unlock it by ||hitting a bunch of far-apart buttons really quickly||. Commando, Sniper, Pilot and Bandit are all varying degrees of viable

That's mostly because the game is new. It's getting better with time as people document more

[sonic storm]

i put my full trust in the wiki gods for at least rorr

[scarlet ember]

how to get this one?

[elder patrol]

Drop down from below

There should be a secret tunnel in the middle

[scarlet ember]

got it thanks

[heavy jungle]

Woops

[scarlet ember]

how to get this one?

[scarlet ember]

Ohh I tried from all sides except that one

lol

thanks

[heavy jungle]

I think every day someone asks this lmao

[scarlet ember]

it feels very unlogical

[heavy jungle]

with so many ppl asking I guess it is yeah

[zenith garden]

Honestly most of the gold chests in there are a struggle for people

[sonic storm]

There is only two variants

[sullen linden]

Tbh, once you know, you know
Gotta know it first though

[twin gust]

do i have to do this in one go? if yes any tips for it?

[sullen linden]

Evade enemies with a teleporter event, let loose

[strong idol]

does beating embryo do anything for amethyst?

[sick epoch]

can i use other skills in between lights out uses or do i gotta use lights out 15 times in a row?

[strong idol]

you can use other skills

but it's stupid easy to get with artifact of glass

[cyan spindle]

hi i am new to rorr and i have no idea on how the combat works

[strong idol]

you use your abilities to kill the enemies

jumping allows you to avoid most of their attacks

[cyan spindle]

but do i jump and run away from the enemies or run to the enemies?

i tried both and ended up dying

[strong idol]

recommend to play on drizzle if you are new to the game

running away is an option if you are in a situation you can't handle

have to be aware of the map though, knowing where you can flee

[sick epoch]

truth, imma try and go for that now then

[strong idol]

but often you can run around in circles by climbing ropes/ladders and then slowly killing the enemies

[livid garden]

if you're playing commando your best bet is to just be on the same y plane as them

[cyan spindle]

i like acrid but i just keep dying over and over

i tried jumping but i still get hit

[livid garden]

if you've already made it to acrid id say you've done pretty good progress

[strong idol]

acrid is one of the easier survivors to play, just use sludge and epidemic and then those will kill them while you are running around

also yeah, you aren't that new if you unlocked him

[livid garden]

acrid isn't that hard to play, keep in mind that even if you feel like you're running around doing nothing you're still getting that damage racked up

[cyan spindle]

ok thanks

[heavy jungle]

I don't think so

[frigid knot]

how does attack speed effect artificer?

[stuck kindle]

my guess would be nano charge rate, chakram tick rate, flamethrower tick rate

just a guess though

maybe chakram return rate?

[cerulean python]

ive been told it increases flamer tick rate, from experience it increases nano charge rate iirc, and ive been told for chakrams it makes the whole animation play faster

[primal valve]

Sadly, no

[frosty marten]

anyone know how to get to the gold chest at the final level

its stuck behind a wall and idk how to get in

[worn sky]

go on top the crates where hand is and press down

[worn sky]

or just search this chat for this exact same fucking question ITS LITERALLY GROUNDHOG DAY HERE

insanity

[frosty marten]

i dont see nothing in chat just scrolled up 2 days

[worn sky]

then it was in the other one today

[ancient field]

yee it's in the #risk-of-rain-returns chat

[frosty marten]

i swear the only legendaries i get are the equipment cooldown ones

[worn sky]

#risk-of-rain-returns message

like dawg 30 minutes ago

[heavy jungle]

or this like 10 messages up #game-questions-returns message

[primal valve]

That was for different variant. Tho honestly searching isn't too easy since usually it is image and "how to get this" which results in let's see actually

Ok that is actually REALLY good search term

[heavy jungle]

lmao just type "how to"

[primal valve]

Tho it is pretty unintuitive to search just "How to get this" and expect results

[wraith wedge]

Chat can you have multiple profiles on this game like you can for RoR2?

[primal valve]

Unfortunately no.

[primal valve]

You could however manually copy saves and have multiple "profiles" that way

Haven't looked into it myself but know it is possible.

[wraith wedge]

Alright thank you fellow risk of rain enjoyer

[silver vessel]

Where are the files for the character portraits located?

I wanna see how my art looks in game

[rapid arrow]

#risk-of-rain-returns message
found this that may help

[static halo]

Does anyone know what it means when the Level Up is the green version vs the red version with lower pitched sounds?

[serene bay]

Does prophet cape works with enforcer block?

[fervent copper]

Yes

[serene bay]

noice

[jovial field]

the red one just means you're carrying Warbanner

[winged yew]

what does more attack speed do for sniper again?

[fervent copper]

Makes the little reload minigame move faster. Yes that means attack speed can screw over your timing

[winged yew]

darn

[lime abyss]

tips for unlocking origin?

[fervent copper]

200/10 rules, play on drizzle, keep the other artifacts off

After that it just takes some finesse

[white forge]

only need the original 9 and not the new 4

[elder patrol]

Dissonance is not needed

[white forge]

grab some backup mags and cooldown reduction as soon as you get the chance so you're not completely defenseless if your primary gets locked out
also much easier in multiplayer if you have the option

[primal valve]

These artifacts are only needed, I personally like to enable Prestige aswell to spawn more enemies for boss to get more items, one of first greens I recommend Prophets cape, Hopoo feather and ~5 Clovers

[elder patrol]

A brooch is useful

If you ever get a white

[primal valve]

Oh wait dissonance wan't in original?

[elder patrol]

Nope

[fervent copper]

Every artifact after origin is new

[primal valve]

Oh fuck me well did it anywaysupdating screencap

[elder patrol]

Yep that’s all you need for origin unlock

[white forge]

^

[elder patrol]

Others are optional

[white forge]

and also make it way harder

other than prestige if you're playing conservatively

[primal valve]

Prestige and Cognation with few Clovers is awesome tho

[white forge]

did not realize cognation enemies could drop clover items

I knew they couldn't drop sacrifice items so I just assumed that carried over

[primal valve]

Yeah presumed them to be similar to 2s spirits not giving gold/xp/extra drops.

They can

They are temporary extra speedy elites

Gives tons of extra gold and xp if you don't mind no spawn animation speedy elites on your face

[white forge]

I also did it in multiplayer which makes it way easier
and bandit in particular having lights out means you always have at least one reliable attack no matter what distortion is locking out at least until lights out isn't one-tapping stuff

which takes a good long while with glass on (and 200/10 rules) especially if you're picking up crowbars occasionally

huntress alt secondary would be similarly helpful for about the same reason

[fallen bear]

What's the lore behind mercenary?

[elder patrol]

Weeb

Dude destination is literally Japan in the logbook

[fallen bear]

is that the actual lore???? it's just a combat trained weeb who was travelling to japan??

[fervent copper]

Essentially. He constantly got in trouble because he thought he was the protagonist

[elder patrol]

Anime protagonist lmao

Ofc I’m joking but the thought is amusing

[fallen bear]

actually?? i can't tell if you're lying

[fervent copper]

It’s probably true. He is just a weeb

[timid badger]

he's a mercenary, with japanese tech and cybernetics
he got into a fight with enforcer on the ship
a mercenary also assassinated someone on europa once
this is pretty much all we know

[solar patrol]

is there a strategy to unlocking the ||artifact of origin||? mainly with the effects of the ||artifact of distortion||

[primal valve]

Basic, pick versatile survivor (bandit is decent), game intensity to 200% damage 10% damage taken, Drizzle, if you get lucky, first red ceremonial daggers makes most of the run relatively easy. few clovers as first greens topaz brooch as first white should set you up decently enough

[zealous olive]

Barbed wire

I'd recommend Substandard Dupilcator as first red

I just started stacking barbed wire after that

Clovers are also very good since everything is elite

[nocturne zodiac]

tips for looping monsoon?

especially how to deal with Overloading worms

(other than alt f4)

[rustic niche]

this looks the same way spoons do when u put them in the microwave to make them sparkle 🤩

[polar sundial]

is this a bug that i can revisit boar beach?

[nocturne zodiac]

the stage 3 variant you get after leaving is random so you can revisit it a limited amount of times, if it's a bug or not you can go back there at all I do not know for sure

[north crown]

no

you can revisit as much as you want so as long as the right variant spawns

[polar sundial]

oh ok

[chrome ferry]

Hey guys whats this thing

[worn sky]

yassified access codes

[graceful harness]

how to download mods for risk of rain returns

[worn sky]

whih mods speifialy?

[graceful harness]

any

[worn sky]

what if i tell you

there arent any

that would be a lie atually

https://thunderstore.io/c/risk-of-rain-returns/p/PhatGomeB0ss/Evangelion_cutscene_mod/

there's nothing useful tho

[heavy jungle]

dude you asked this like 4 days ago

mod support hasn't been added in 4 days

[slender isle]

but what if

[tender gazelle]

silly question

for the whorls achievement, does it have to be sunken tomb

or can i technically push them off any cliff with dissonance

[strong idol]

probably would work on other maps with dissonance

the hermit crab achiev in ror2 is similar, doesn't have to be on titanic plains but it's the easiest there

[sturdy widget]

does photon jetpack mess up the buff gained from the rusty jetpacks?

[elder patrol]

No

You hold jump to use the photon jetpack

Tap jump doesn't trigger it so doesn't get affected

[burnt gate]

does artifact of spite bombs also deal damage to other enemies?

[fierce arch]

no but you and your drones spite bombs do

[cerulean python]

wondering if repulsion armor reflects burnout self damage. id assume it would since you can block it with cape but idk

also wondering if you have like leech seed is it self damage > heal, or heal > self damage

[sonic storm]

reflect it to yourself, skill costs 50% hp instead

this isnt an answer I just think its funny

[cerulean python]

i know lol, would be hilarious

[ancient field]

feedback loop

the reflected damage gets reflected back to you

💀

[sonic storm]

and then you deal the 50% of max hp to all enemies aswell

[cerulean python]

recursive explosions

no they each have a certain number of variants. many have six, i think temple has less, and contact light only has 2

the placement of items and tele is random tho,to my knowledge

[fervent copper]

Temple has 6

Only Boar Beach and Risk of Rain have less

[amber niche]

any tips for artificer

im getting owned

[cyan orchid]

Flamethrower > localized sun, and normal secondary

[cerulean python]

im assuming default kit correct me if im wrong.
Chakrams: They get sent out, spin, then come back. They hit for a small amount of dmg on the way out and in with full piercing but only the first hit procs items. All of the 5 spin hits can not proc items, and can only hit one enemy each, but apply burn. This means they scale poorly with crowd size and items, but their base damage is so high that they function well throughout a run anyway. Ideally, you want to keep enemies on the spin hitbox, but that takes some setup, so for weaker enemies you can rely on the small send/return piercing damage decently. Ice wall is the easiest way to keep enemies in place for the spin hitbox, but being across a gap they can't cross works too, as does forcing them to jump up a step, as they stop for a moment before doing so, and chakram hitbox stretches downard enough to hit them before and after they jump. Against large crowds in a line, turning around and throwing them will likely result in all the spin hitboxes hitting an enemy as the crowd walks through it. If you're quick with inputs, you can jump + turn around, start throwing chakrams, then immediately start moving away from the enemies again and you'll maintain a lot more speed than the slow backwalk. Limiting yourself to two chakrams on a full jump means you'll finish the animation before you land and lose no speed, but tossing all four and losing some speed isnt bad either. And if you didnt know you can mash to make them go out faster.

Ion bomb: This always stuns for it's full duration, even when uncharged, giving you a chance to hit the chakram spin hitbox, but charging adds damage and aoe size. It can proc on every hit, so it scales better with items than chakrams, but of course works best on groups, so again ice wall and terrain use is helpful, especially since the stun prevents them from hitting the wall for a few moments. I also will sometimes charge, than fall into a horde from above, since the stun will keep me safe.

Ice wall: It's extremely helpful for the duration its up but if you can only function while its up you'll probably struggle, given its cooldown, so learn to use terrain, kite well, and use flamethrower safely without. You can jump then cast it to maintain speed while doing so, which helps when you want to get a wall up while running away. Also, some enemies will reach through it so be prepared for that. Parents for example easily hit past it so you have to be careful throwing your chakrams in that case. Oh, and it freezes enemies nearby when it breaks, so you have a bit more time afterward to throw chakrams

Flamethrower: This scales insanely well with crowd size, and decently with items since all the hits can proc, and it has full piercing. It's essentially your nuke button. The biggest thing to learn with this is to abuse its downard reaching hitbox, and the fact it makes you float to stay safe while using it. Parent hitboxes, for example, only hit the ground, despite how it looks, so a small jump followed by flamethrower will let you get the full duration out safely against them. Smaller enemies like claymen, mech spiders, etc also only need a small jump but some enemies with bigger vertical hitboxes like golems will require a full height jump, and others like macrobial predators and flying enemies can hit you anyway so be aware of that.

[timid badger]

Wall of text 10d6 psychic damage

[amber niche]

Thank you, this is solid advice, I actually didn't notice mashing chakrams was faster than just holding it down so thatll help

can the flamethrower be used for the artificers multi kill 15 enemies challenge?

[short falcon]

how do i use keyboard in this game?

whenever i open it i can use my mouse but its basically forcing me to play controller

keyboard does nothing

[cyan orchid]

Not really.

[cyan orchid]

Turn on first option in "accessibility" for holding down, should work.

[heavy jungle]

you have a controls tab in the settings

[worldly zealot]

it's bugged with chakram specifically

[heavy jungle]

if the controller is overriding your keyboard somehow, unplug the controller I guess

also wtf is that wall of text arti players are crazy

(very nice though)

[short falcon]

and i cant find any way to switch to keyboard

[heavy jungle]

there's no "switching" to keyboard, your controller is probably overriding your keyboard inputs somehow

[short falcon]

the only possible option i can see is this, and when i try and input a keyboard button it just doesnt respond

[heavy jungle]

unplug your controller

[short falcon]

i dont even have a controller connected, thats why im so confused

[heavy jungle]

oh

[cyan orchid]

Verify file integrity

Reinstall the game, maybe will work.

[heavy jungle]

if you go to "Set up USB game controllers" on windows, you don't have anything there? might a be some software running to turn keyboard inputs into controller inputs or something?

[short falcon]

just this. dont know what that is, ive never really even opened this before

but verifying game integrity might have worked

im testing it out now

nope

[heavy jungle]

it's most likely this

[short falcon]

when i open the tutorial its just my character spam firing like this and i cant control anything

[short falcon]

what do i do about it? this is a window ive never seen or touched before

oh its not even recognising an actual controller when i plug one in

[heavy jungle]

you can probably remove it from the windows device manager under 'Human Interface Devices", but check the details first to see what exactly it is

wouldn't want to remove something important lol

[short falcon]

i fixed it

you have to go into shift tab and then controller settings and enable steam input

basically override the games own settings

[craggy aspen]

How does "force item sharing" actually work? Sometimes if I have more items than the other players I can still pick them up, sometimes not. I can't figure it out

[heavy jungle]

oh nice, have fun

[heavy jungle]

the tooltip says "prevent players from picking up items if they have much more than others"

so the limit is probably not 1 item, that's why you're picking some up even when you have slightly more

don't know what the actual numbers are though

[supple radish]

how do you get the walled off legendary chest on the contact light?

[candid hemlock]

is hermit's scarf pretty much the same thing as Tougher times in risk of rain 2

[cyan orchid]

Similiar i think

Not sure about tougher times stats

[heavy jungle]

same formula but smaller number

[candid hemlock]

okay so same concept where each time you stack it the effect gets exponentially smaller still going towards 100% evade chance but never able to reach it

[short falcon]

is this game supposed to be harder than ror2. because it definitely is

[heavy jungle]

exactly

[heavy jungle]

I don't know if it's supposed to be but yeah I find it a lot harder

[cyan orchid]

Its different.

Atleast you get iframes, unlike in RoR2.

[short falcon]

it feels like half the map is just blocked off because i start with the mobility of a brick

[candid hemlock]

sick thanks

[cyan orchid]

You playing as artificer? (A joke, she has no mobility here)

You will get used to it after a while.

[short falcon]

im huntress

havent unlocked anything else yet

well i have commando but he sucks ass

wait is happiest mask good now

this thing is kinda carrying me

[cyan orchid]

I think its better now than in 2.

[short falcon]

games telling me "hey it gets harder if you wait" as if i dont have to wander for like 15 minutes to find a single god damn item

[heavy jungle]

tip: zoom out in the settings

[short falcon]

im at 1.5x

[cyan orchid]

More zooming out? 1.30/25?

[short falcon]

i am going to die

yeah i died

why are magma worms like that

[candid hemlock]

is there a limit to the number of scrap cubes you can have out at a time?

[gleaming pier]

3 + the number of backup mags your drifter has

[candid hemlock]

oohhhhh

okay thanks

[gleaming pier]

I don’t know if there is a limit though on them.

Ive had 6 at a time tho

[sand island]

Is it a glitch that robomando can't shoot while walking backwards? It feels really bad

[worn sky]

he's a throwback to ror1

he even has a ror1 sprite

[silver raptor]

Do Drifter's temp items disappear if not picked up in time?

Just wondering if i can just put all 20 temp items in one place.

Or maybe Tempus works?

[worn sky]

tempus works

[heavy jungle]

they don't

[silver raptor]

Also, does it have to be 20 different items or just any 20?

[sand island]

kk, thank you! Returns is my first ror game so I didn't realize he was a reference to the style of the first one

[strong idol]

any

[desert sable]

Do you get smth when you complete the game with all artifacts?

[sonic storm]

a victory screen

[desert sable]

yeah , but maybe something special?

[real shell]

bragging rights

[oblique void]

self fulfillment

[desert sable]

One million times worth it

[nocturne zodiac]

you get the opportunity to make a video about it and be the first content creator to have done it in rorr

(possibly)

also is looping monsoon plausible to do consistently and I'm just a scrub

or is it just very rare to ger a loop-able monsoon run

[desert sable]

no, i don't have a computer that good enough to do this

[ashen heath]

where do i find the mu construct?

i asked this before but wiki doest tell me much

[heavy jungle]

yeah need to add this info somewhere

it's behind a hidden wall on desolate forest #4, towards the middle of the stage

[ashen heath]

is desolate forest 4 the one with the prizm?

[heavy jungle]

no that's 3

[ashen heath]

ah fuck

okay ty

[heavy jungle]

https://riskofrainreturns.wiki.gg/wiki/Desolate_Forest on this page you can see variants, and the landmass in the middle of variant 4 has a hole in it, the entrance is hidden to the left of it, next to the vines

I think it's there

[ashen heath]

thank you sm

ive been looking for this item for so long

[heavy jungle]

np 👍

[ashen heath]

ah okay i see it

very helpful thanks a bunch

[old pewter]

its kinda origin

[north valve]

||how to unlock pig stage||?

[strong idol]

you can only go there from the 2nd variant of ancient valley, the one when the bridge is not broken, after that go to top left to the bushes

[primal valve]

It is hidden in Ancient Valley variant 2, ||hold up in top left opening in background fence||

[grim stream]

Magma worms really got me mad tweaking out here. Any tips?

[primal valve]

1. They only have hitbox when head is entering or exiting ground, timing jump to this avoids most of the damage.
2. Each segment takes damage individually so attacks then pierce or are lingering some deal massive damage to the worms.
3. 1x zoom makes timing the jumps easier as you can see where the worm is at most times.

[worldly zealot]

normal ones only have a hitbox when entering/exiting the ground

[grim stream]

Thanks!
