[dim sky]

yeah i did it with loader's pylon for the first time, it was cancer

[torn bobcat]

unless the buttons are close I wont bother

Do Rex's health coast abilites proc roll of pennies and razor wire?

[lavish jacinth]

Razorwire yes, pennies no

[torn bobcat]

makes sense

[lilac wolf]

desperado unlock requirement says I have to kill a final boss to get it. Does it include False Son or does it have to be mithrix specifically?

[daring cloak]

Mithrix

[hoary sedge]

anything that says "final boss" specifically means mithrix

[lilac wolf]

thanks

[daring cloak]

No clue why thats still a thing, like the name "mithrix" doesnt spoil shit

Only thing it does is create confusion

[torn bobcat]

eh if your a lore fan it does

kinda

[daring cloak]

If youre a lore fan you already know who mithrix is

[torn bobcat]

Yea but it spoils that your gonna fight him

[daring cloak]

No?

The name mithrix isnt said once in any log

[torn bobcat]

Yea but saying "Kill mithrix"

in the ability unlock would

[daring cloak]

Yeah then you know ur gonna kill some guy called mithrix

Who youve never seen or heard of before

[hoary sedge]

saying kill mithrix doesn't mean anything if the only way to know who mithrix is is to fight him lmao

[daring cloak]

Unless you already spoiled yourself

[jaunty furnace]

it says THE final boss

[lilac wolf]

do desperado stacks save between stages?

aw man

[jaunty furnace]

wouldve been busted as shit

[lilac wolf]

[fallow yew]

Question for the RoR Experts X3

Based on what we know of Operator so far, what items do you imagine will be really good for Operator and which might be really bad on Operator?

[tender temple]

Luminous shot will be yummers

[daring cloak]

Oh definitely

[tender temple]

Definitely very good on him

600% m1 and very easy m2 stacks

[daring cloak]

I could see purity also being fairly decent if you wanna go all in on drone command spam

[tender temple]

I guess? But it seems like drones can proc shit so maybe not?

Drone abilities*

I can't think of any other particular stand-out items on him

Maybe bolstering lantern?

I don't think the active drone counts towards it

Obviously sdp and box of dynamite will be insane on him

[sharp sundial]

they said the special applies the debuff as long as the enemy is airborne, yes? so would breaching fin extend it

[tender temple]

Probably

[daring cloak]

Most likely yea

[tender temple]

But I don't think it's that strong of a synergy

[daring cloak]

That would also make prim cube really damn good for crowds

Both to bundle enemies together for the aoe and to extend the debuff

[tender temple]

Backup mags would obviously be good

[daring cloak]

Depends on the ability cd tbh

[tender temple]

I guess the hiker boots will be good cause of the shift

Eclipse lite would be usable on him I suppose

[fallow yew]

https://tenor.com/view/noted-anime-gif-21175096

[fallow yew]

Hiker boots?

[tender temple]

Ac item

Get crit chance and crit damage(or just damage) while above the enemy

It scales with height I think

[fallow yew]

Ooooh right, that one

Forgot about that for a sec

[tender temple]

And considering he has ion surge 2 he's gonna be good with it

[errant patio]

Hi, i'm a new player, is it normal that at the stage 4 there are so much enemies my game is lagging ? It feels like a slog to have such a huge amount of enemies spawning in

[wintry fjord]

How does exposed on Merc work?

[jaunty furnace]

byeah it probably depends on your computer, i lag around there too

dunno if theres anything that can be done about that (besides lowering your graphics obviously, but i don wan my game to look like ass,,,)

[foggy vessel]

every 3 melee swings you apply the debuff and when you hit the enemy with the debuff again itll reduce all your cooldowns by 1 sec and do more damage

[marble isle]

what's false son's answer to elder lems

[lavish jacinth]

m2 and lasers, or dash behind them and hit them with the club

[marble isle]

actually in general how does he do anything stage 4 onwards
first time playing false son btw i cant seem to kill anything

[lavish jacinth]

abuse his m2 and charged primary, and remember that you have to charge his special to deal full damage

his secondary applies a debuff that makes enemies take 10% more damage per stack, and proc chains can double dip on that bonus to do exponentially more damage (which is actually a bug)

[south python]

is any good>? it seems terrible

[mental sierra]

What’s better on acrid? Needletick or tritip?

[crisp timber]

It’s decent on a lot of the survivors with weaker M1s. Acrid, Loader, ok on Engi

[south python]

i play bandit

[crisp timber]

Needletick, usually. As a rule of thumb, if you can’t sustain high bleed stacks, Needletick is better

[crisp timber]

Then it’s not worth it for you

[south python]

thanks, ima look for a scrapper

[crisp timber]

You won’t be able to scrap lunar items

You’ll have to look for a cleansing pool

[lavish jacinth]

Engie is arguably the best visions user, it's a dps upgrade for both turrets and easier to use than his normal m1

[crisp timber]

I haven’t done the math is it actually better

Like i believe it’s better on the turrets with no attack speed

But it doesn’t scale right

[lavish jacinth]

no, it does

I forget the exact amount but visions is always a fairly significant increase on turrets, even with the cooldown

it's especially good for mobiles since visions has a higher proc coeff than their beam

[crisp timber]

Damn okay. I stand corrected

[steady stone]

a bit over 200% more dps iirc for both

[mellow crystal]

pps

[lavish jacinth]

the only downside is that the delayed damage can sometimes lead to turrets getting overwhelmed, but that's only really an issue for stationaries since mobiles can just move

[lavish jacinth]

procs per second

[south python]

so when i use the newt altar, the lunar portal spawns after i charge the normal teleporter but where

next to the normal one?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, there'll be a blue portal somewhere near the teleporter

[south python]

thanks

[errant patio]

I entered a huge red portal after solving a simple puzzle with shapes, is it normal that I only have a blackscreen ?

[steady stone]

It should take you to the Ambry, you might've gotten stuck loading if it isn't this

[errant patio]

i can move

but no image, just blackscreen

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, that's not normal

[errant patio]

why is this game so bugged it's insane, i've not managed a single run without a game breaking bug lmao

[lavish jacinth]

there should be a short cutscene that plays before giving you control

[lavish jacinth]

the game is just weird like that tbh
I've hardly seen any game-breaking bugs, some people just seem to get them more than others

[errant patio]

i entered the portal and just plain black screen, that's it. Nothing seems to work to change it. I even option menu isn't appearing

[lavish jacinth]

well damn

[errant patio]

I've also had a lot of bugs with multiplayer

[lavish jacinth]

if you've got crossplay enabled, then that's probably causing a lot of them

[errant patio]

I do have it on !

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, turn it off, that should fix at least a few issues

[errant patio]

I use it to play with a friend on SteamDeck, but that may be the issue

[lavish jacinth]

it wouldn't even surprise me if this is also caused by crossplay, it's absurd how broken it is

[lavish jacinth]

you shouldn't need it for steamdeck, it's only for steam and epic games

(assuming you're also on steam)

[south python]

what does the dream thing in the bazaar between time do?

it isnt for some reason written on the wiki

[lavish jacinth]

lets you pick the next stage

[steady stone]

picks the next stage

[amber swan]

Shout out to for being goated af

[jaunty furnace]

did you pause the instant the map tried to load

[errant patio]

My friend had a text message saying that crossplatform was needed, but he might have been mistaken. Thanks a lot for the help !

[lavish jacinth]

are you on the right wiki? https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Bazaar_Between_Time

[errant patio]

Nope, i did not touch my keyboard

[steady stone]

it's on the wiki.gg, dont use fandom

[south python]

yea im stupid i just skipped over it because it wasnt called dream

i got is it any good?

[dusky raven]

Very good

[south python]

i got it from like a barrel or something

[lavish jacinth]

it's easily a top-tier equip imo

if you have any aoe or piercing attacks, you can gather up enemies and hit them all at once

and if you have aoe procs like sticky bomb or uke, you can potentially proc those and have the effects overlap for a ton of extra damage

ideally you can give it to an equipment drone for almost constant uptime

[south python]

i got the ukulele and sticky bomb thats aoe pretty sure

[inner prawn]

ye

[south python]

surely this will be my winning attempt

[inner prawn]

I wish your run the best of luck 👍

[lavish jacinth]

cube also works on the main final boss which is pretty awesome

[south python]

im still pretty unexpierienced since its my 4th ever run but i died on the final boss on my 3rd

[inner prawn]

that's a pretty good pace

[south python]

got the equipment drone too

[lavish jacinth]

nice

[south python]

would be ideal if i got more healing drones

nvm found 2 emergency drones

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, healing drones are great

[south python]

they are better right?

[lavish jacinth]

ye

they're expensive, but heal way faster and heal multiple targets at once

[inner prawn]

healing drone to emergency drone is a first aid kit to an ambulance

[lavish jacinth]

drones in general are usually worth getting

the combat drones don't do a ton of damage but they're great at drawing aggro

equipment drones and healing/emergency drones can potentially soft-carry a run

the tc-280 kinda sucks though

[south python]

any good?

[lavish jacinth]

kinda long cooldown but it melts bosses, and it's really good if you have a bleed build

[south python]

i beat the final boss but died to lunar chimera 😭

[jaunty furnace]

How

[lavish jacinth]

during the escape sequence I would assume

[jaunty furnace]

i know

[south python]

I beat the Boss but there were chimeras left and i fell into them

I was low so its pretty understandable

[dim pewter]

ayo so is it still impossible to get the logbooks for treeborn colony and golden diebacks? im so close to 100%ing the logbook but i cannot get them for the life of me 😭

[livid wedge]

I've got both so I assume they're still possible to get

[dim pewter]

maybe im just hella unlucky then damn

[livid wedge]

Just unlucky

[lavish jacinth]

it's not possible to get them on the current patch

it WAS possible in previous patches, but they somehow broke it while trying to fix another unobtainable logbook

[livid wedge]

fr?

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[livid wedge]

bruh

[dim pewter]

goddamn lol

do we know if theyre aware of it

[lavish jacinth]

I would assume so, there are bug reports about it

[dim pewter]

word lol fingers crossed

[lavish jacinth]

hopefully they just fix whatever spaghetti code makes logbooks break so easily in the first place

[dim pewter]

was tryna get 100% before new dlc but ill live 😞

[lavish jacinth]

and maybe increase the spawn rate of radar scanners while they're at it, lol

[dim pewter]

ive just been doing command & sacrifice to try to boost the chances and its worked w most other stages

[copper raven]

hiiii, i wanted to unlock false son's teleport but it turned out on drizzle there is no phase 4? Is there a phase 4 of mithrix on normal difficulty or do i have to go to monsoon...

[lavish jacinth]

there is a phase 4 on drizzle, you probably got the phase 4 skip accidentally

[copper raven]

oh...

wasted 65 minutes 😭

[lavish jacinth]

rip

[tender temple]

For a second I misunderstood that and thought they were talking about some kind of false son phase 4

[copper raven]

yeah sorry for my bad english its 1 am already im kinda tired

🙏

[lavish jacinth]

with command + sacrifice + drizzle you can get through the game pretty fast, and if you visit the bazaar every stage you get a pretty good chance of gilded coast showing up in a lunar seer

but that achievement is always a pain in the ass

[copper raven]

yeah i literally just discovered i can get to gilded coast like that

after 90 hours

[lavish jacinth]

a lot of people don't know about it

but iirc if you have sots enabled and haven't been to gilded coast yet on that run, it's like a 15% chance for each seer to have gilded coast

[narrow olive]

Newer player here, I’m trying to unlock all the items for the logbook and I have no idea how to get the void item that corrupts your yellows and spawns void entities : /

[tender temple]

It's a drop from void devastators

Either super rare as a void family event tp boss drop or just tricorn kill a devastator

I don't think larva transforming boss items count for the logbook as you need to specifically pick it up

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, you need to pick up items for them to count

[narrow olive]

Yeah I tried doing that and it didn’t work, I don’t know why I never thought of using tricorn, thank you!!

[tender temple]

You probably didn't cause devastator doesn't exactly feel like a boss

So unless you see that their background in the logbook is boss color or you've already seen the tricorn work on them before then you probably wouldn't know

[narrow olive]

I’ll go try that out, much appreciated!

[nocturne sierra]

If I have an ignation tank and hellfire tincture, do I also take 4x fire damage

[lavish jacinth]

yes

[nocturne sierra]

Thanks I did not want to try it on myself

[long mason]

What dlc should I get first?

[lavish jacinth]

get sotv first imo

both are worth getting, but sotv's content expands on normal gameplay a lot more

[long mason]

Ok

[vocal yacht]

Helloooo, newbie here. Have you got some tips to not get destroyed in level 10 and above please ? I take so many damage I can’t even react… What are the good items to combo to resist please ? Is there an item to avoid OS ? An item for a % damage reduction maybe ? Ty

[lavish jacinth]

there are some good defensive items (mainly ) but it's generally best to prioritize movement speed and damage, and avoid getting hit in the first place. Most enemies will miss their attacks as long as you're moving, and usually they have distinct sound or visual cues when they're about to attack

having some drones to draw aggro helps a lot

also, be sure that you're full-clearing stages and not rushing

[pure field]

is there a way to ensure a obliterate portal?

[lavish jacinth]

it always spawns on the third stage of every loop

[pure field]

can it spawn before?

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[ember night]

just got the game whats the first thing i should do

like ive done 2 runs where i made it to stage 5

[lavish jacinth]

there isn't really anything you specifically should do, I guess just keep playing and try to get to the final boss, and/or go for unlocks

it's pretty easy to figure stuff out as you go along

[jaunty furnace]

you can get mods to fix it

[vocal yacht]

Thank you so much, your answers are really detailed and a pleasure to read! By the way, here’s the clip that made me come here to ask the question…

[jaunty furnace]

yeahhh you were standing in the middle of death lol

run away

that shift stuns so it couldve been helpful aswell

[jaunty furnace]

play the video game

[vocal yacht]

It was 4 a.m., our reaction times weren’t exactly worthy of the greats, let’s be honest lol 🤣

[jaunty furnace]

there isnt really anything your items can do to save you from a million high damage attacks at once

you also had no idea what items you needed to select (which is another reason why i think command is bad for new players lol)

kinda

[errant patio]

Hello, when an achievment has a item icon next to it, does it mean the item will only spawn once the achievment was unlocked ?

[hollow siren]

You unlock the item by getting the achievement

[lilac wolf]

does 1 lvl of prayer beads convert to 1 stack of growth for false son?

[reef night]

Finally beat monsoon because I found a crowbar printer and stacked enough that I one shot every thing. What to do now? Ik its a roguelike so a couple of days of playing is just scratching the surface probably.

[jaunty furnace]

keep playing and/or go for unlocks

[dense briar]

Good point. Goat hoof tho…

[jaunty furnace]

yeah

drink is only for sprinting, hoof is for all movement speed

which works while youre nailgunning/in powermode

[errant patio]

Hi, can this stack up to 100%, meaning you are invicible ?

[livid wedge]

No, it has hyperbolic stacking

[errant patio]

What do you mean ?

[livid wedge]

Meaning the math behind how it scales is different

[errant patio]

Oh, like the more you get it, the less block chance each teddy bear gives ?

[livid wedge]

Rather than linear where you just keep adding it up

Yes

[lethal oracle]

is this good for my first game won??

[livid wedge]

You won. That's what makes it good

[jaunty furnace]

what equipment

couldve been interesting.....

[lethal oracle]

i think the deployable missile convoy

yes that

[narrow olive]

What’s the strategy with railgunner? The first few stages are fine because there’s not a lot of adds and the boss is easy enough to kill, but around the first loop there’s just so much going on and I get overwhelmed very easily

She doesn’t have good crowd control with her kit so I’m assuming you have to get lucky with item combos likes gas/tank or will o wisp but it’s just a mess sometimes

[livid wedge]

Her special pierces with no damage dropoff

Try to line them up

It also has a 3.0 proc chance so the more things hit, the more your items will activate

But yes, she doesn't have great aoe so you want some items to make up for that deficit

[narrow olive]

Even on rainstorm it’s a challenge for me. I know it’s just a skill issue but I really like her kit and wanna use her more

[jaunty furnace]

how are your items

are you sure youre making correct build decisions

[narrow olive]

Probably not, I’m decently new so I just pick items I know are good in a vacuum but don’t really know synergies

So like and any speed

Some items are just hard to come by, I can almost never find in any of my runs

[mellow crystal]

It's useless in loops anyway since it just reduces damage by a flat 15 iirc

[narrow olive]

What are some good item synergies? I know a little about proc chains but I don’t know what items specifically work best with each other

[mellow crystal]

Any total damage items work well in proc chains, so primarily
+ + a bunch of drones is basically an afk combo
+ is good aoe, and + + + + is also really good

Also try to mix multiple types of damage boosts

[narrow olive]

So like

[jaunty furnace]

isnt gonna be as big of a boost

but yes

[frail sphinx]

so i bought altar of gold but the prtal doesnt open when i inish th teleporter

[jaunty furnace]

are you sure it didnt just spawn in an awkward spot?

it should be somewhere near the teleporter

[frail sphinx]

the orb is still floating around it

idk if that eans anything

[jaunty furnace]

i dont remember if the orb still floats around of not after spawning it

did you actually finish the tp or did you just kill the boss?

you need to charge the tp too

[frail sphinx]

it awas an akward spot

under the tper

theres a small space there

[jaunty furnace]

lol

[acoustic dune]

guys does shaped glass affect FS's growth?

[weary cipher]

guys how do I play rex

[jaunty furnace]

is there something in particular youre having trouble with?

[weary cipher]

Lack of damage, most teleporter bosses take me way too long to kill even on runs that would be good on other characters.

but the main problem is with him on eclipse 8, having to use the plant abilities suck

[south python]

is better than

[jaunty furnace]

(almost) everything has a use

is good for moments where you know youre about to get hit by a truckload of damage, is decent mobility and it allows you to pillar skip (if you already have a bit of mobility or some )

[south python]

i play artificer so i think ima stick to cuz i usually die to mithrixs attacks

[jaunty furnace]

if you have her alt special then you get to skip pillars for free

[south python]

i dont

[inner prawn]

flamethrower is still fun, the alt special just changes her playstyle a lot

[south python]

better than right?

at least thats what i heard

[jaunty furnace]

oziksfdnglzo;kjhnltrjuhnlt;gfb

[lavish jacinth]

If you're running a bleed build then it can be

[south python]

well im not but its better on bosses

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah

If you're handling crowds okay but struggle against bosses then saw might be a good play

I usually prefer cube personally but that's just me

[jaunty furnace]

i think these questions are just kinda stupid

you shouldnt be rating them like its a tierlist

everything usually has a situation it shines in, we dont know your current situation

[south python]

stupid human asks stupid questions, thats just how it is

[lavish jacinth]

This is true, but there's also no harm in asking, lol

Ideally you wanna understand why something is better or worse in a given situation, so you can make informed decisions on your own in the future

[weary cipher]

question, does merc expose count as a debuff for death mark??

[lavish jacinth]

Yes

If it's a negative status effect and it puts an icon above the enemy's healthbar, it'll count for death mark

[jaunty furnace]

*unless its an elite icon or chef markers

[lavish jacinth]

Elite icons aren't a negative status effect

And chef's indicators are just neutral I guess? But yeah, they don't count

[jaunty furnace]

i was talking about healthbar icons in general

didnt really register the word "negative"

[lavish jacinth]

lol

[radiant jungle]

Which movement for huntress do yall think is better

I like the original one because you can move up but I also like the alt movement cuz it’s based on. Where your momentum is

[quasi topaz]

Triple blink, makes dodging a lot easier and gives a more reliable fall damage cancel

[jaunty furnace]

you can use the special to go up

[radiant jungle]

Aight

also are crowbars good on a flurry huntress

[hoary sedge]

not really

the only huntress ability that really likes having crowbar is ballista

and kinda glaive for wisps and stuff

flurry likes proc items and flat damage multipliers like and

[radiant jungle]

how do you unlock ballista

[hoary sedge]

beat rallypoint delta or scorched acres without going below 100% hp

its not as bad as it sounds though, taking damage to barrier doesnt count

and glass artifact makes it easy

[radiant jungle]

is it possible to do that on eclipse 1

[lavish jacinth]

I would assume not

[jaunty furnace]

damn thats right

[radiant jungle]

is shaped glass good

[lavish jacinth]

if you're good at not getting hit then it's very good

[sharp sundial]

I think they're asking if it would count for the achievement

[lavish jacinth]

oh

well it'd still be good in that case, so my answer stands, lol

[sharp sundial]

it works for it, doesnt count as losing hp

in fact its a very good idea because you're less likely to get hit and not notice

[pure field]

where do you find the tc 280?

[lavish jacinth]

it only spawns on rallypoint delta

[pure field]

is there a specific stage you can get rally?

[lavish jacinth]

stage 3

[pure field]

or is it random

[weary cipher]

will merc expose get transferred with noxious thorn?

[lavish jacinth]

if you're trying to get it for the Captain unlock, I recommend turning of SotV to remove sulfur pools from the stage 3 map pool

[lavish jacinth]

yes

[jaunty furnace]

-#

(stage 3)

[south python]

is there really a way to avoid the grandparent destroying all my drones

[glacial knoll]

kill him faster

[signal pelican]

All maps only show up at specific stage numbers

[lavish jacinth]

this or try to snipe it from outside the suns range

sometimes the grandparent will spawn in a place where you can maybe get your drones behind cover, but usually they're too stupid for that

just pray that AC's drone rework will make it easier to keep them alive during the sun attack, lol

[inner prawn]

this is so much information to be putting on one image good lord

[lavish jacinth]

gotta love SotS stage routing

things were so simple with SotV...

[inner prawn]

that's significantly less clutter yeah

[brittle shuttle]

now get ready for alloyed collective routing

[lavish jacinth]

god help us all

[pure field]

this mad helpful thx

[jaunty furnace]

keep in mind thats only dlc1

[pure field]

what..

https://tenor.com/view/flight-reacts-shocked-gif-9885796698302419555

[jaunty furnace]

#roles for image perms

[livid wedge]

Won't give embed perms, thougg

[jaunty furnace]

...same thing

[livid wedge]

It's not

Embed perms let you link the image rather than uploading it directly

[lavish jacinth]

embeds do usually work if you have a role

[south python]

so usually when i played the game in my first 5 games there was the final boss after sky meadows but now its just stage after stage

is it normal or a bug?

[lavish jacinth]

looping is normal, it depends on how you leave stage 5

if you leave through the main teleporter without realigning it first, you'll go to the final boss

[south python]

i went to the bazaar between time

[lavish jacinth]

but if you realign the prongs around the teleporter first, or leave through any other portal, you'll loop

[jaunty furnace]

interacting with the primoridal teleporter's prongs sets the teleporter to loop
blue/gold portals will also do this

[lavish jacinth]

artifact portal too

[jaunty furnace]

yeah

[livid wedge]

Must depend on the channel. Perhaps this one was spared the embed permission revoke

[south python]

ohh i didnt even notice that i interacted with it

[lavish jacinth]

probably, yeah

[jaunty furnace]

you said you went to the blue portal, which makes you loop either way

[south python]

oh yea

anyways good to know

[jaunty furnace]

just to confirm, the opening cutscene starts playing while loading in vanilla too, right?

asking before i say something in #ror2-feedback-and-ideas

[livid wedge]

Yes

[radiant jungle]

whats the best loadout for railgunner

[livid wedge]

I go all default personally but a lot of people like cryocharge as the special

[lavish jacinth]

you'll probably be fine with anything except the alt utility

[weary cipher]

How much do you think loader can squat

[lavish jacinth]

two, maybe three

[sage cape]

if u do bandit b&e with another player who's also playing bandit do both players get the achievement

[livid wedge]

No

Has to be your attack

[lavish jacinth]

only one person can get credit for the kill

although if you were to use artifact of swarms, there would be two mithrixes, so you could both get it

[sage cape]

How do u get that

[lavish jacinth]

do you know how to unlock artifacts in general?

[sage cape]

nope

beat the game a few times though

[lavish jacinth]

on stage 5, there's a big machine on a platform below sky meadows or at the very top of helminth hatchery

you have to input a code into it, which will open a portal to a trial where you can unlock the artifact corresponding to the code

there's one code right next to the machine as an example and the rest are hidden throughout the game

or you can just look them up, the wiki has all the codes, plus a hint guide if you wanna find them legitimately but get stuck https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Artifacts

[sage cape]

gotcha that's very useful

[left yew]

Where's the rain

[wintry fjord]

On command is it worth it to stack crit on railgunner

Also what greens should I get

[lavish jacinth]

no, crit is pretty garbage on her

[wintry fjord]

I'm trying to get the 1 million damage achievement

[lavish jacinth]

you get a 5% damage bonus per stack of lensmakers
crowbar, watch, ap rounds and sticky bomb are infinitely better if you want white items to boost damage

[wintry fjord]

So far I've just been stacking chronic expansion

[lavish jacinth]

it's always better to mix different damage items so that they can multiply each other

[lavish jacinth]

bands are the obvious one, atg is also great, ukulele and willowisp can help with crowd control. And any other normal good items like hopoo feather or rose buckler or whatever

DON'T touch shurikens on her though, they can waste the band proc from her specials really easily

[wintry fjord]

I don't have bands

[lavish jacinth]

is your friend there, it stacks exponentially. A few stacks of glass with some crowbars and watches for good measure should be all you need

[lavish jacinth]

they're worth unlocking asap

[wintry fjord]

I'm trying to do it without that

Makes it too easy

[lavish jacinth]

in that case just stack as many different damage multipliers as you can, prioritizing larger buffs like crowbar

that also includes proc chain items, chaining together can do a ton of damage

will be good too

[wintry fjord]

I'm also making it extra hard by playing only stage one with sacrifice swarms and kin so the only enemy is beetle

[lavish jacinth]

I mean... that's not really making it harder, just slower, lol

[wintry fjord]

Random little challenge I cooked up

And I got it in 37 minutes

5 watches 4 crowbars and 27 chronic expansion on freeze ray =1 million

(110 stacks on chronic btw)

[lavish jacinth]

welp, whatever works ig

[wintry fjord]

Pretty easy on command

Now I want to see just how far can I go

24 hours on stage one trust

On console too

[timid field]

are the locations the portals after mithrix take you constant or are they just random

[lavish jacinth]

constant

[lusty smelt]

how do i get captian and that guy with a grappling hook

[lavish jacinth]

beat the final boss and beat the secret boss on siren's call, respectively

for the final boss all you have to do is get to stage 5 and take the teleporter without realigning it, the siren's call boss requires finding 6 bird nests around the map and breaking them

[pure field]

yall have tips on getting monsoon for bandit

[kindred wyvern]

I recently beat the game by accident how do I make it past stage 6 I want mercenary but dk how to get farther

[mellow crystal]

When you're on stage 5, interact with the stone edges of the teleporter so they realign, then beat the tp event

[kindred wyvern]

Uhhh the stones I activate?

[lavish jacinth]

or you can leave through any portal besides the teleporter, like a blue portal

[lavish jacinth]

is it bandit specifically that you're having trouble with or monsoon in general?

[pure field]

monsoon

i get sent flying on the 2nd stage

[lavish jacinth]

easiest tips I can give are to full-loot stages as efficiently as you can, and never stop moving

a good rule of thumb is to get at least 1 item per minute but it's okay to spend time on stuff like printers and scrappers

[kindred wyvern]

Ohhh shit ok

What way to I turn them

[lavish jacinth]

just hit e on them, it just toggles between two positions

[kindred wyvern]

Ohhh ok thank you helps alot

[lavish jacinth]

np

[lavish jacinth]

practicing movement and learning enemy attack patterns is also a huge part of staying alive, most enemies have sound or visual cues when they attack, and for most enemies just circlestrafing and jumping is enough to avoid getting hit

[lone compass]

thousand yard stare as i hear a greater wisp right above me

[native siren]

just finished eclipse 2 with engineer but it didnt increase my max eclipse lvl is there any fix to this?

[lavish jacinth]

progress not being tracked is a known bug atm
if you're on PC you can use the realercheatunlocks mod to fix it, but otherwise there's not much you can do unfortunately

[jaunty furnace]

wtf

[native siren]

damn i need to another run huh

[jaunty furnace]

not what they said

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, if they're not on pc then yeah, that's what they need to do

try again and hope it saves this time

or just wait for AC to come out before you start grinding eclipse, hopefully they finally fix it

[wintry crag]

Would this game ever be cross platform? I have friends i really wanna play with

[livid wedge]

Doubtful

[wintry crag]

man how come

[jaunty furnace]

probably very difficult

it would be nice for those that need it but im fearful for the bugs itll cause

[glacial knoll]

friend lobbiest dont work well even from epic games to steam and public lobbies are pretty non existant

[timid field]

is warped echo fucked right now

[jaunty furnace]

yea

[timid field]

figures

[jaunty furnace]

https://thunderstore.io/package/riskofresources/WarpedEchoBugFixes/

[livid wedge]

What's the bug with wecho?

[jaunty furnace]

check the mod description

[quasi crystal]

How do I avoid being underleveled constantly? I kill a bunch of enemies all the time but I guess that's not enough. Like right now i'm on stage 7, the mobs are level 41 and im level 20

[livid wedge]

The mobs will always outlevel you

That's where items come in. That's where your strength comes from

[jaunty furnace]

you dont need to think about levels

think about items

try to get all the items on the stage, in an optimal manner (like waiting for a before picking up useless reds like )

[quasi crystal]

I see then. Thanks yall

[lyric palm]

would you say, on average, that artifact on sacrifice makes the game noticably easier or not?
and if so, do you think artifact of evolution is a "fair" counterbalance?

[livid wedge]

Artifact of sacrifice I think is bad because it builds bad habits

You don't need to loot

[clear whale]

Command sacrifice swarm builds alot of bad habits

Noob magnet in its own term

[mental sierra]

How many bunguses should i stack on engineer ideally?

I have some good items that I wouldn’t want to scrap for it but im not sure whether or not it’d be worth it

[livid wedge]

2 or 3 is usually good

[jaunty furnace]

its not worth losing your damage, speed and defense over a bungus lol

[left forge]

Healing is not worth investing into. Focus on dmg, speed and DR

[clear whale]

I often get around 3 bungus and just naturally get the extras from chests

Wungus would be good if the carbonizer turret can actually sprint

[lyric palm]

yeah thats fair
i just kinda like direct drops
its fun

normal monsoon runs are a bit boring sometimes, but i dont feel ready nor compelled to do eclipse cause it seems a bit frustrating, so i wanted to change it up, without getting used to something thats much easier

[pastel hamlet]

Does the shattered abode’s environment log spawn on stage 1? Because so far I’ve loaded it up 10 times with command and sacrifice and it hasn’t spawned once yet

[lavish jacinth]

there's no reason it shouldn't, afaik it isn't bugged so that's just bad luck

[sharp sundial]

I just got it for someone else the other day so it def works

[grave rain]

Hey all, I'm trying to confirm if the new stages from SOTS are really path of colossus exclusive? Bummer if so

[lavish jacinth]

not all of them. Shattered Abodes and Helminth Hatchery are on the normal stage path

Also Viscous Falls and Disturbed Impact if you wanna count those

[grave rain]

Makes sense, those are the ones I've seen normally lol

Thank you!

[lavish jacinth]

np

[marble magnet]

How do I keep polyps alive?

For the build

(not playing as engi

Understood

Thinking about getting gesture but auto placing caffeinators could get annoying

[frosty reef]

oh captain healing beacon too I guess

[marble magnet]

Oh right captain exists whoops

(playing as bandit)

[south egret]

I’d recommend 4 just so you can get >10%hp/s

[south egret]

Do you have a lysate cell?

[mental sierra]

Nope

[south egret]

I feel like some of you are trolling

[south egret]

Ok

[jaunty furnace]

healing is the least important

all you really need for the whole run is like 1-2 slugs or wungus

which you will probably find naturally

[livid wedge]

We're talking engi, though

Turrets can't dodge

[south egret]

Sure, but we’re talking about engineer where he can literally triple his bungus healing and make an infinite circle of healing for him and two minions minimum

[jaunty furnace]

ah well i forgot we were talking engi

[south egret]

Them’s fightin’ words

[livid wedge]

Not really

But if you have fun, play what you want

But it definitely builds bad habits for normal gameplay

[untold sparrow]

When ever I play multiplayer with my friend somewhere along the run, he kinda disconnects I guess, and start floating away, and his end of the game is broken, how do I stop this? It's been happening for a long time is it just wifi?

[lavish jacinth]

if you're on steam, make sure that you both have crossplay turned off

[untold sparrow]

Ahh

Ok thank you

[south egret]

Does res disc’s status effect timer reset on reapplication? Also, does it count as a buff for growth nectar?

[livid wedge]

Each stack is independent, as in each one lasts the 7 seconds and are tracked separately

And it counts for 1 buff for nectar altogether

[livid wedge]

Or better put, each stack decays independently @south egret

[south egret]

Ah, got it

[south egret]

Amazing

[errant patio]

Hello, my friend started recently and he has 5k lunar coins, is this possible legit ? he has around 15 hours gametime, and he told me he used an AFK farm, but I suspect he used a cheat :')

[lavish jacinth]

afk farms are technically possible but they're extremely slow, he definitely wouldn't have gotten 5k coins in 15 hours that way lol

save-editing to get more coins is a pretty common thing to do though

(did some quick math because I'm bored- even if they were fighting FS and Mithrix in the same run and managed to get a world-record pace on every single run, they could MAYBE get ~2.5k coins in 15 hours- and that's not even counting the fact that the fastest WR uses artifacts which would take time to unlock. Your friend is a liar, lol)

[livid wedge]

Oh, does false son give five even if you don't end there?

[lavish jacinth]

I think so? And I thought he gave 10

[livid wedge]

Last I checked it was 5

But I'll do a run later to confirm

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, I never pay attention to my coins anymore lol. but all the other final bosses give 10

[livid wedge]

He definitely started out only giving 5

[sage cape]

I got sadist but my friend didn't get sadist and we both stacked together, what's the reason for that

[steady stone]

he didnt kill the monster with 20 stacks

as in like, he didn't get the final

err - actually it should work? unless he didnt have any stacks from himself

as long as a bandit has applied one stack of hemorrhage

[glass flicker]

Is there a Google document that has all the information we know so far about the allowed collective?

[steady stone]

#theorycrafting message

[sage cape]

this was the actual truth even though the wiki says otherwise

we did it again on the next boss and I let him get final and he got it

10 stacks each

[steady stone]

final hit is how most unlocks work but the wiki.gg is pretty reputable, so i dunno about that one

[lavish jacinth]

The wiki doesn't specifically say that both bandits could get the unlock, just that they could both contribute stacks

[steady stone]

"Each Bandit player must apply at least one stack of hemorrhage to be eligible for the completion of the challenge."

it's worded weird i guess

so that like, if a bandit stacks 20 and a different bandit kills it wont count?

that's not the first thing that comes to mind with that tbh

[lavish jacinth]

I think what it means is that if both bandits apply at least one hemorrhage, then both of them will be eligible, but only the one that actually gets the killing blow will receive the unlock

[steady stone]

yeah, and if a bandit kills an enemy with 20 stacks but none are from them it wont count

which, is weird, but still

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

so the wiki is correct, but it should probably clarify that only one bandit can get the unlock

[cyan niche]

Is there a recommended character for the current prismatic trial, I’m still sort of new and got told Harvester’s Scythe is locked behind completing a prismatic trial

[lavish jacinth]

you can check cabbage's video in #prismatic-trials , he does guides for the merc achievement but it might still be helpful for the trial in general

I haven't played the seed but this one looks pretty easy based on the video, I'd say just play whoever you're most comfortable with

[nocturne coral]

Finally deciding to pick up Chef even though I've had all his stuff unlocked. Is there any form of dedicated guide for this character or should I just go in try stuff out and see what sticks for myself?

[narrow olive]

I’m having issues with getting false son’s alternate dash ability. Every time I get to mithrix with aurelionite it’s either aurelionite dies to mithrix or my items instant kill him when I get them back in stage 4. Any strategies or implications I might be able to use to get it?

[lavish jacinth]

that unlock is really annoying, you basically want to treat it like the other "kill mithrix with X" challenges focus on raw damage multipliers (crits, watches, AP rounds, attack speed etc) and avoid proc items that could steal the kill.
On top of that you should try to let Auri do as much of the damage as possible and only hit mithrix with your m2 occasionally to apply lunar ruin, can help keep Auri alive and you can put on an equipment drone to buff her dps a bit

[narrow olive]

I’ll have to try the equipment drone strategy, that’s a pretty cool idea

[lavish jacinth]

I'm sure there are guides on youtube, but imo it's better to just try stuff out first

[nocturne coral]

There really aren't

[hard igloo]

are operator and drifter the only new survivors? or is there a third like SOTS

[narrow olive]

No 3rd survivor which is sadge

[hoary sedge]

maybe they secretly added robomando but are keeping him hidden like in rorr

[livid wedge]

@lavish jacinth False Son doesn't give you any lunar coins. Ending at the shrine gives you 5

[lavish jacinth]

ah

[wintry fjord]

So it's better to fight any other boss

[jaunty furnace]

what about voidling

[lavish jacinth]

voidling also gives 10

and it requires fighting voidling, which automatically makes it the worst option

other than maybe twisted scav

[ruby umbra]

aurelionite

Can I fight aurelionite in the same run twice?

[jaunty furnace]

yup

[dusky vector]

I have just bought the game on sale and have been playing with a friend and loving it. We decided we might be interested in buying some of the dlcs so i had a couple questions

1. Which of the DLC would be most reccomended to buy?

2. If i have SOTV and a friend has SOTS could we play with both expansions in one co-op lobby?

3. Should i even bother with buying the DLC now or just wait for alloyed collective?

[crisp timber]

1. generally, recommendations are SOTV before SOTS. I'd recommend buying both, though.
2. yes
3. the DLCs all function well independent from each other

[dusky vector]

Thank you so much <3

[mellow crystal]

Personally I'd say the answer to #1 is sotv for items and sots for survivors and the final boss

[boreal parcel]

Can I use the hacking thingy from captain to buy the TC-280?

[lavish jacinth]

Yes

[boreal parcel]

damn i just placed it horribly then

there are 2 TC 280's in the same arena bruh i fumbled bad

time to grind

[lavish jacinth]

Rip

Probably not worth the time ngl, the 280 kinda sucks. Unless you happen to have a bunch of gold left over at the end of the stage

[jaunty furnace]

1. sotv
2. dlc content will appear yea but you will only get the achievements and survivors of the dlc you personally buy
3. i dont really see a reason to delay. in fact, i feel like it may not be a good idea to have your first runs of the game be accompanied by a million dlcs, it could be overwhelming,,,, or something

[boreal parcel]

It's pretty good with captain

i ended up dying before it

i had a whole ass drone army

[lavish jacinth]

Not really lol
Its so big that microbots can't even fully protect it

[graceful dust]

Buncha eclipse lite on REX

[jaunty furnace]

the barrier gain scales with cooldown length

[graceful dust]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[jaunty furnace]

wait actually,,, the barrier could save you from more self damage,,,

so it might actually not be as bad as i just assumed

[slender lake]

Hey, I'm struggling a bit with winning on monsoon difficulty. I think I take too long on each stage, the last time I failed was in stage 5 at 47 minutes, granted I played bandit with desperado and probably could've played a bit more carefully but still. The other issue I had is that I did not find a single useful replicator in those 5 zones. Is there a way to "force" getting decent items somehow (not artifact of command, with that I can win monsoon "easily")?

[frosty reef]

@slender lake All the x minutes per stage "rules" actually only make the game harder to win. Getting every single item on every single stage in an efficient time (so just no standing around with thousands of dollars doing nothing) is what you wanna do. I recommend disputed's eclipse guide even if you're just playing monsoon for a good base on how to play

https://youtu.be/aJWfwbG93Z8?si=PAZhUjZhtUq8Es8C

[slender lake]

ok i will look into that thanks

it seems I usually end up with thousands of gold though (not with artifact of command for some reason)

[frosty reef]

That's something to work on with time. Don't expect to be perfect at time effiency right away, it's not a huge part of the game anyways. Items will scale you faster than time scales the enemies

[slender lake]

sure it's just the elites on the moon are incredibly tough once I get there

[sharp marlin]

Are drones and/or turrets worth it in general? I generally use missle and healing drones but the equipment drones I am not sure how they work with some equipment such as recycler or card etc

[sharp marlin]

I guess they are there to test you so if you find it hard to beat them you are generally not ready for mithrix

[wise granite]

hey, for some reason when i use the artifact of command i cant pick extra mag, i have found extra mag in a normal run but it isnt an option when i use the artifact of command.

holy broken english sorry

[frosty reef]

Gotta take your time killing em if your build isn't crazy strong. Chill at the beginning tunnel and chip em down. They're meant to be tanky and a challenge but every run can win on stage 6 moon

[jaunty furnace]

heres a couple more
https://youtu.be/p0sHUs0qv5k
https://youtu.be/m4UPMPmKAPI

[sharp marlin]

Just because all builds can doesnt mean they will, for a lot of players, the moon enmities provide a vague idea of the power of the build

[primal vector]

They are genuinely very good as meat shields. Distracting enemies is super useful.They cannot use card and the recycler will be used if they happen to look at an item, I guess. In any case, the drone AI rework will be a base game change, so any idea that we have about drones will have to be rethought in a matter of weeks

[sharp marlin]

Wasnt aware of a drone rework, thanks

[dapper summit]

I play a lot of rex is there any reason why he is bad?

[mellow crystal]

He's really only bad in eclipse because of the modifiers screwing him over

[frosty reef]

Both the primary attack and the non self damaging secondary have a decreased chance to proc items

[mellow crystal]

Rex overall has consistent aoe and dps, really really good crowd control, and solid self sustain

The alt m2 is fucking horrible though

[frosty reef]

It's not

[dapper summit]

Is it only 8?

That really screws him over

[mellow crystal]

In comparison to default it feels like I'm using a wet noodle

[dapper summit]

I think 5 might also hurt in hindsight

[frosty reef]

Rex is still good and usable on eclipse 5+

Just less about spamming every self damaging ability

[mellow crystal]

5 and 8 yeah
5 just increases your m2 downtime by a bunch and 8 kind of just bans you from using default m2

Or at least relegates it to very few situations

[dapper summit]

Does your curse health lower the threshold of m2' and snare ults cost?

[mellow crystal]

They're both based off of current HP so yes
Losing HP in general also lowers the threshold as a result

[dapper summit]

Does the curse also scale the same way?

[mellow crystal]

I would assume so?
I haven't played e8 rex yet so I can't say for sure

[jaunty furnace]

its not

huntress arrow rain is

[mellow crystal]

Ok yeah I may have exaggerated

I still wouldn't really take it outside eclipse tho

It's a solid skill but default m2 just way outdoes it in my experience

[frosty reef]

Gonna always be situational. makes it really good while it does nothing for self damage m2

[dapper summit]

Think they'll lock an unlock behind eclipse?

well getting eclipse 8 on everyone

[frosty reef]

hopoo never wanted to but gearbox definitely could though I doubt it unfortunately

[wise granite]

do u have any idea why i cant get a when i use the artifact of command?

[dapper summit]

Artifact of eclipse?

[frosty reef]

I'd just make sure you have it unlocked in the logbook, if it already is then I'm not sure

[jaunty furnace]

that i doubt, but something to atleast let people know that eclipse is even a thing would be nice

[lavish jacinth]

equipment drones can soft-carry a run with the right item, they have 80% equipment cooldown reduction built-in so they'll spam their items pretty often.
But they treat anything you give them as a weapon, so items like card or recycler are completely useless- but stuff like can be great

drones also scale over time the same way enemies do

[jagged apex]

Are there any plans for crossplay between PC and Console

?

[frosty reef]

Very doubtful

[jagged apex]

sad

hope maybe someday it will be added

[frosty reef]

The setting to enable epic and steam cross play doesn't even work/ creates multiple bugs so lol

[lavish jacinth]

I don't have the screenshot but iirc Preston has said that it's unlikely to happen, but not impossible

it would probably require remaking a lot of the multiplayer code

[subtle flame]

how do you make rex not horrible
trying to 100% the game

having a lot of trouble beating monsoon/fs with it

[lavish jacinth]

He's kinda weird to play, you have to get used to being at around half hp most of the time and constantly spamming m2 for damage. In terms of loadout I'd recommend all of the self-damaging skills

[subtle flame]

im running full default rn

[lavish jacinth]

item-wise you can basically build him like a proc character, healing items are mostly unnecessary so focus on damage, speed and defense (particularly )
are also good to get since he constantly hurts himself and has two built-in debuffs

[lavish jacinth]

that also works

[subtle flame]

the hardest thing for me atl is consistently hitting enemies wih my m1

im in multiplayer with some latencyu and its REALLY hard

[lavish jacinth]

oh yeah, and avoid items that lose their effect when you get hit, like

[lavish jacinth]

ah yeah, that's gonna suck lol

[subtle flame]

alr

[lavish jacinth]

in singleplayer I'd just say practice leading your shots, but in multiplayer with lag... good luck lol

[jaunty furnace]

...why would you use the alt shift?

[lavish jacinth]

bramble volley?

[jaunty furnace]

the shockwave

the one that hurts you

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, bramble volley is the self-damage one

[jaunty furnace]

Ok

[lavish jacinth]

decent aoe damage and easily recovers the health cost if you hit at least 2 enemies

[subtle flame]

m

[jaunty furnace]

you could just. use the m2

or

[lavish jacinth]

...ok? bramble volley gives you another aoe option, hits a much bigger area than m2, the health loss is almost always negligible and it can recover a ton of health if you hit enough enemies

idk why you're acting like it's bad lol

[glacial knoll]

it can literally heal for more than it damages you so it's pretty damn good

[subtle flame]

whats the achievement for it

oh thats rather difficult

[lavish jacinth]

shove a dunestrider into a pit on abandoned aqueduct

it's not hard but very rng-heavy

turn off sotv so you don't get aphelian sanctuary, then just reset until you get aqueduct with a dunestrider as the boss, and spam your util at it until it falls in a pit

[subtle flame]

alr

if i take shaped glass, does completing the tp with any hp count as doing it with only half hp?

[lavish jacinth]

no

but if you wanna cheese that one, 7 stacks of will mean that more than half your hp is shield, and then all you have to do is use m2 often enough that the shields never regenerate

[subtle flame]

ah okay

[granite brook]

When my friend opens a server, it lags a lot from the moment I log in. My ping is very high. I downloaded the lagfix mod but it still didn't work. Does anyone know how I can fix it? I live in Türkiye.

[lavish jacinth]

1. Just obligatory, if you're all on steam, make sure you all have crossplay turned off
2. How far away does your friend live? Ror2's multiplayer is peer2peer, so if there's a long distance between players, the connection is going to be really poor

[cyan patrol]

Hey, so i got longstanding solitude and im trying to do gold portal, but I cant stop it early. Trying to unlock false sons alt utility, is there away to stop the gold statue early with longstanding?

[lavish jacinth]

getting a gold portal isn't based on when you stop the shrine, it's based on stage number. If you're on stage 4 or 5 or if you've already used a green portal in that run, it'll always be gold

[cyan patrol]

well yeah

it had a gold orb

[lavish jacinth]

protip though, if you weren't aware, the best way to get to gilded coast is through the bazaar, it has a decently high chance of showing up in lunar seers

[cyan patrol]

yeah I just figured it would be better to do it on the stage, but seemingly theres no way to stop it with longstanding

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, why do you need to stop it?

[cyan patrol]

I cannot gain gold as it is converted to experience

therefore the shrine does not charge

[lavish jacinth]

oh lol

yeah you just can't do it at all then

iirc it needs to be charged at least partially before you can stop it at all

[cyan patrol]

also you can totally go green path again after false sons killed

[lavish jacinth]

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to, but it's bugged sometimes and happens anyway

[granite brook]

My friend lives in Germany, will it have that much of an impact?

[lavish jacinth]

it's a fairly large distance so it probably will, especially if one of you doesn't have good internet

[granite brook]

My friend's internet is perfect

[lavish jacinth]

what about yours?

[granite brook]

can be considered average

[lavish jacinth]

hmm

[granite brook]

I thought it was a game setting, something like showing dead bodies, but I wonder if it has something to do with it?

[lavish jacinth]

well, you would definitely get at least a little bit of lag over that distance. But I don't think it would be unplayably bad, so the problem could be caused by something else

unfortunately I don't know what that could be

[granite brook]

I recorded the laggy parts on screen so I can show you.

[lavish jacinth]

you can post it here if you have a role, #roles , not sure it'll do any good though

[granite brook]

where can i send the video

[lavish jacinth]

this channel would be fine

[jaunty furnace]

theres 2 types of lag

• lag, where your computer is having a hard time calculating the things happening on your screen (low fps)
• ping, where internet connection is slow and things are delayed/move weirdly

lowering the graphics of your game wont usually reduce ping

[granite brook]

I have a 20-second video. I would like to show a small part of it, but since I am short of time, can I broadcast it to you?

[granite brook]

I thought there would be a solution because it was the only thing I could do for now.

[lavish jacinth]

if the game runs fine in singleplayer then it's probably not computer lag

[granite brook]

When I open the server, I don't have too many problems to worry about.

[lavish jacinth]

does your friend get any lag in that case? If you're the host then you shouldn't have any ping issues at all.

[granite brook]

When I open it, it says there are lags again, but my words are too much, the monster dies after 6-7 seconds after shooting a bullet.

I don't even see my character walking

[lavish jacinth]

hmm, do you have any other mods running besides this one?

[granite brook]

no there is no other mod

[lavish jacinth]

are either of you using a vpn? that's the only other easy fix I can think of

[granite brook]

When I talked to chatgpt, he said that using VPN works and since I am in Türkiye, I have to use VPN.

[lavish jacinth]

that's the issue

playing pretty much any multiplayer game with a VPN enabled is going to cause horrible lag

[granite brook]

But I only had problems with this game. It has been working without any problems for almost a year. I use goodbyedpi, not VPN.

[lavish jacinth]

(also, don't trust chatgpt for advice on anything gaming related, or anything really)

[granite brook]

I took notes so I can keep it in mind

[lavish jacinth]

I'm not familiar with that, but it may still be causing the problem

but this is way outside my area of expertise unfortunately

[granite brook]

I don't think it's DPI related, but I'll try it because I want to play the game without interruption.

Thank you very much for trying to help

[karmic surge]

ByeDPI can cause problems yeah, so when playing multiplayer it should probably be turned off for a better experience

[granite brook]

I have to open it to use discord

[karmic surge]

Well, I'm not sure, but I think Zapret and ByeDPI are essentially the same. If you have any alts for ByeDPI you should try each one out and see where it lags the least for you

[granite brook]

The DPI I used was the best

[sage cape]

not with a good vpn

[clear whale]

will still give some latency

considering how crappy the netcode this game is

[livid wedge]

Also considering the fact your connection needs to route through the vpn. At perfect conditions, there is no extra latency but it's never perfect conditions

[clear whale]

also remember that everything take times

you are not getting below 150ms playing with some guy a contient away from you

[marble magnet]

What's the uh

Best (easy) way to counter void fog for fields for future runs?

Oh and without saying wungus pls :W;

Like I know bungus is effective I guess

But other than that

Like wungus is the most effective but you could just never get it in a run so

And I'm talking like straight to Mithrix

[livid wedge]

Like, getting from cell to cell?

Yeah, those are kind of the best

[marble magnet]

Mhm

And looting ig

I see I see

[livid wedge]

Woodsprite equipment and titanic knurl can help

Hopoo feather makes the terrain between cells less of an issue

I know it's not as good as cautious slug for healing but it has the benefit of constantly on

[marble magnet]

Oh yea true I do forget that woodsprite gives better regen

[livid wedge]

Also, technically shaped glass will help you survive because you have less max health to lose per second but your base regen stays the same

Medkit can heal you quickly as long as you can already make it from cell to cell

Just dip in and out of the fog, heal, repeat

[jaunty furnace]

you wont always get a ticket to vields

wungus is the most powerful

get like 1-2 on drizzle-monsoon, 2-3 on e5+

[wide delta]

Whos coming to alloyed collective?

[karmic surge]

[jaunty furnace]

as in survivors?

[tender temple]

We are all coming to alloyed collective

[unkempt ocean]

If I get a lunar family event will perfected elites spawn?

[ivory saffron]

Hey what item is good for scaling ice damage?

[jaunty furnace]

wdym

[ivory saffron]

Any scaling for the runald band

[trim lynx]

linear damage and freeze duration

so yea, it stacks well

if thats what you mean

[jaunty furnace]

runald band deals total damage, meaning it gets stronger based on the attack that proc'd it

[ivory saffron]

Okay thanks

[mellow crystal]

Strange

[jaunty furnace]

so if you grab some damage multipliers like then runald will get stronger too

runald can also be activated by things like and runic lens, which is quite powerful

if your character doesnt deal enough ability damage to proc bands on their own, you can use things like , , or the other two items mentioned above

[trim lynx]

hi!

[ivory saffron]

Okay thanks for the info

[jaunty furnace]

bands are crazy 👍

[sick sorrel]

Am i the only one who adores this Combo /

[mellow crystal]

Hello fucks

[mellow crystal]

How does this combo

[sick sorrel]

You kill an Enemy, then the daggers hit another enemy, the missiles lunch themselves killing the enemy, then the process repeats itself

[sick sorrel]

👆

The Void Missiles and the Daggers go through walls, they can kill anyone around the map

[thin sage]

discount

daggers make anything self sustaining lol

[sick sorrel]

tbh tho i always get 5 of these at the very first stage so.. a red is easier to get with no luck needed

"The Power of the Command Artifact"

[mental sierra]

Is there an exact number of chests that spawn on each stage or does the number vary each time?

[thin sage]

oh 💀

[thin sage]

the stage is generated with a specific number of credits, which can be spent on chests but also other things

so every stage will have the same approximate "value" per run but not necessarily always the same chests

[sick sorrel]

Map Dependent

[thin sage]

it's not map dependent

you can load into the same map across different runs and you'll get different chests

[sick sorrel]

He says about the Number Cap

Like you can't find 25+ Chests in the First Maps

[thin sage]

they're not asking about a cap

[thin sage]

they're asking if the same number of chests spawn each stage in the run, which they don't, because of credits

[sick sorrel]

I think you are confusing

[thin sage]

you could theoretically get 20 chests on siphoned forest

with 1 player

[sick sorrel]

This Map does spawn more chests than some others

[thin sage]

yeah you could only get 14 on others

[sick sorrel]

Also count the legendary ones

[thin sage]

siphoned forest has more credits than the other stage 1 maps

[sick sorrel]

I didn't said it has a specific number, but a limit

[thin sage]

legendary chests can't spawn with credits until stage 5

[thin sage]

14 is the limit

[sick sorrel]

So yes, there's more chests

[thin sage]

wait true 5 is mii tech

woops

[sick sorrel]

Stages select specific maps that can have more and unique chests like the Legendary ones

[thin sage]

the guaranteed legendary chest isn't bought using credits

afaik

[sick sorrel]

Legendary chests cost 16 times the cost of a normal chest

[thin sage]

that's money, not credits

it's 3.3x more credits

[sick sorrel]

What are you on

[thin sage]

I'm talking about the credits ^

[sick sorrel]

Let's talk from the beginning

Specific Maps have a specific Limit/Spawn for Chests

Am i right?

[thin sage]

it's not a set chest limit, it's an inferred limit from the credit number

yes

[frosty reef]

Stages have a set amount of credits assigned to them. Each interactables has a set amount of credits they cost. Use up the credit bank on a stage by spending it on various interactables. You can see the numbers at riskofresources.com/credits

[thin sage]

no way second resources page dropped

I thought it was proc coefficients forever

[frosty reef]

Once AC drops I think it's time for a very indepth video on stage credits

[thin sage]

why shaping shrine is a scam

give me my 3 items

[sick sorrel]

You sre telling me that if i go to stage 6 a map as Stage 1, because of that Hidden currency more chests will appear?

[tender temple]

well yes

or well no

cause stage 6 is either commencement or hidden realms or stage 1s anyway

if it was stage 5 on stage 1 thatd be more credits

[lone compass]

credits are per map, not per stage

going to titanic plains a second time still only spawns like, 9 items or so

[sick sorrel]

So there's a limit

Like a specific map won't spawn more than 15 Chests (as an example)

That's what im trying to explain, that maps are not the same with eachother and can spawn more/less/different chests

[lone compass]

yeah theres a limit, depending on the credit pool

sky meadows has a lot more credits, so its gonna have a much higher "loot limit"

[sick sorrel]

Thank you for pointing out that we all were talking about the same thing but in different words

I was so confused

[lone compass]

yeah no problem

anything else?

[sick sorrel]

No that was all bud, thanks again

Oh maybe one thing

How the hell will i calculate the damage needed to kill the final boss with a supply beacon

[lone compass]

before getting on the moon avoid things like bleed, ATGs and drones, who may kill him before you're ready

[sick sorrel]

Yes i know that part sadly

[lone compass]

you should stack raw damage multiplication

like watches and AP rounds

those buff the damage from the beacon

[sick sorrel]

So they do stack with the supply's fall

[lone compass]

yeah

[sick sorrel]

Ok thank you, i know what items to use now

[lone compass]

shoot him from on top of the pillar, aim the very edge of your shotgun

[sick sorrel]

I will become a Glass Cannon

I know the rest no worries

[lone compass]

so it doesnt do too much damage

Yeah alright, good luck

[sick sorrel]

I will use them when he slams

[lone compass]

good idea

[fierce pollen]

just use huntress with 20 crowbars and 3 shaped glass

40hp but around 20k dmg (i think)

[lone compass]

someone didnt read the context

[fierce pollen]

yea no i didnt

lol

[analog brook]

I feel like I should know this but is phase blast piercing damage up additive with each pierce or is it x(40% x number of pierces)?

[lone compass]

it deals 300% + 120% per pierce cuz its total damage

piercing one enemy procs bands

[glacial knoll]

but it is still additive i believe

[merry gull]

where to find the boss altar for Scorched Acres? it has been liek 30 mins

[lavish jacinth]

the teleporter? look for orange particles in the air and follow them. They're kinda hard to spot on scorched acres but there's a setting to make them more visible, under umbrella settings on the first page

[merry gull]

i dont see a single teleporter, ive been searching for 30 mins

there's no where else to go

[lavish jacinth]

it might be under a bridge or hidden around the back of one of the platforms or something

[primal vector]

The opposite point to where you first spawned in is a good rule of thumb for where to look for the tp

[merry gull]

i dont see a single orange particle

[lavish jacinth]

turn on teleporter particle scaling in settings

[merry gull]

i dont see it

[lavish jacinth]

click the umbrella settings thing at the bottom, on the first page

idk why they hide it under a sub-menu like that, it's all just QoL stuff

(I highly recommend turning on 'enable inspect' while you're there)

[merry gull]

which ones again? so enable inspect and?

[lavish jacinth]

teleporter particle scaling

I might be forgetting the exact name but it's something like that

[primal vector]

"Enable particles" aparently

[lavish jacinth]

wow, that's incredibly unhelpful lol

[primal vector]

I was lied to

[lavish jacinth]

oh

[lavish jacinth]

yeah
you can also play with the other settings there if you want, enable indicator is also pretty helpful

[analog brook]

Ok noted thank you both

[merry gull]

okay i got it ticked, but i still dont see the boss altar

[sharp sundial]

check around the edges of the islands; the ones higher up have little lips tucked away in the back that can have tp

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[sharp sundial]

dont feel bad about this btw acres is known for terrorizing new players with the teleporter

this one and wetland were annoying for me to chart out when I first started

[lavish jacinth]

particularly the big one on the far corner of the map, opposite from the island. There's a lip running around the back side that's easy to miss

[merry gull]

the thing is theres ZERO orange particles, those things are very wide

i didnt have any issuess

[lavish jacinth]

well if you have the 'find the teleporter' objective, then the teleporter exists somewhere

[sharp sundial]

did you check that spot? it's kinda on the side and below of the island so you wouldn't be able to see the particles from anywhere else

[lavish jacinth]

tbf if you've been on the same stage for 30 minutes that run is probably dead, but it could be worth finding the spot anyway in case it spawns there in the future

[topaz stirrup]

I've still yet to chart Wetland, I hate that stage so much 😭

[lavish jacinth]

if it helps, here's what the particles will look like, and that ridge I was talking about

the teleporter also makes a sound when you're near it

[primal vector]

Is the tp sound linked to music volume or effects? Because that could be an option

[lavish jacinth]

music volume

[merry gull]

nothing

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, the location is random

[jaunty furnace]

then it aint there

[lavish jacinth]

while I'm at it, here's the full stage layout, more or less

[jaunty furnace]

theres multiple scorched acres versions

i believe this is the full one

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, yours might not be identical, but the overall layout doesn't change much

[merry gull]

i found it but my particles looks so small

[lavish jacinth]

that's normal
particle scaling makes it so the particles get bigger as you get further away, so they're easier to see from a distance

but up close they'll look small

[primal vector]

Congrats on finding it

[jaunty furnace]

it would be stupid if the particles were big up close because then you wouldnt be able to see what youre fighting

[lavish jacinth]

have some cartography because I'm bored

wetland is basically just a circle

[topaz stirrup]

omg there's a whole stupid corner

[lavish jacinth]

I hate that corner, if you can't get over the wall then you have to go pretty far out of your way to check if there's loot back there

[topaz stirrup]

yeah I didn't even know there was anything behind that wall because I've never looked LOL

[edgy breach]

which moves should I use for mercenary?

[lavish jacinth]

totally up to preference, his skills are all pretty balanced

[jaunty furnace]

if you default m2 while walking up a ramped surface, you can launch yourself high (but theres a higher chance of giga fall damage now due to gearbox's physics changes)
alt shift applies expose which is very powerful, and if you combine it with his m1 tech, you can apply lots of expose and reduce your cooldowns by alot
alt r gives you a bit more range and crowd control

[edgy breach]

uhhh what's the m1 tech?

[sick sorrel]

Cant find the portal?

My bad im late

[lavish jacinth]

they found it

[sick sorrel]

Yea i see now

Was it inside the Cave?

[lavish jacinth]

if you dash or m2 at the very start of the 3rd m1 swing, the m1 won't be cancelled and it'll drag the sword hitbox the entire length of the dash

[lavish jacinth]

the famous scorched acres cave

[wise granite]

its already there but there isnt an yellow square around it

[boreal parcel]

which huntress primary do you guys think is best

[lone compass]

default

well, neither actually

i use both all the time they're both pretty good

[boreal parcel]

alright thanks

[jaunty furnace]

default is usually better

[lavish jacinth]

depends entirely on how much crit chance you're able to get

specifically flurry has better dps at 20% crit and better proc rate at 60%, iirc

[boreal parcel]

man the default R ability is so ass i need to unlock the other one fast

[jaunty furnace]

wuh

wdym by the proc rate thing

oh at 60% crit

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[lone compass]

good fucking luck gang

[sick sorrel]

YO GUYS A NEW CHARACTER

Springtrap looks like a Collab skin for false son or smth

[lavish jacinth]

hang on, I might be wrong
people did the math on this ages ago and got those numbers, but the wiki says that flurry is better overall at around 30% crit

[boreal parcel]

are projectiles that go through enemies still broken?

[jaunty furnace]

wdym

[frosty reef]

in multiple ways yes

[boreal parcel]

like it went up just now, i heard that was an issue

[frosty reef]

Doesn't pierce sometimes, angles upwards when something is close to you, and pierces through terrain unintentionally

[jaunty furnace]

https://thunderstore.io/package/Goorakh/AttackDirectionFix/

[jaunty furnace]

nanospear piercing through terrain is kinda cool honestly,,,

[boreal parcel]

thanks

[primal vector]

Its sad when it happens to palm

[frosty reef]

It's sad when your loader punch gets whipped upwards and misses all but the first enemy

[livid wedge]

Do attack speed buffs do any relevant for healing drones if you don't have ?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, they get more healing ticks over the duration of the heal

[livid wedge]

Oh, nice

[lavish jacinth]

it works like suppressive fire or flamethrower

[livid wedge]

Big mcthankies from mcspankies
