[crystal blade]

Can you not accept it at all

[jaunty furnace]

automatically declines, from what ive heard

[patent surge]

Idk if its guaranteed but killing false son also spawns the portal

[daring trellis]

where can i find the red item chest on cojnduit canyon??

[low anchor]

What did you guys do to get the Sojourn achivement/

I just did like a 2 min spin with 41 bears exploded in the middle of 5, 60 min bosses. All died and still didn't count.

[wanton hamlet]

look for a rail that passes under the big structure

[vale vapor]

is the in game logbook reliable for finding out stats for items, such as max stacks?

[kindred herald]

Swarms, transcendence, command, pick up a shaped glass, pick up a buncg of crowbars

[low anchor]

Turns out I needed 50 safer spaces. Dealt like 5 mill to a random boss for it to finally count

[jaunty furnace]

its not always correct but atleast its more info

[verbal marlin]

whats the best way to do the elder lemurian thing for operator

i am Struggling

specifically because they just refuse to spawn when i need them

[kindred herald]

primordial cube

[verbal marlin]

i. yeah fair i forgot that even existed ive been stacking breaching fins

[cinder gull]

Who tryna slide 10 bucks

[dull elk]

How does Solus Wing Wall/Beam interact with the Engineer's Bubble Shield?

[full marsh]

Where's the logbook in solutional haunt?

[lyric palm]

Does artifact of sacrifice make more drones and the like spawn, or does it just remove chests

[kindred herald]

yeah it does afaik

because ht egame cant spawn chests
although let me chest how credits work

yeah it dshould increase

[gilded ridge]

from the wiki: “Bug: OSP runs after Warped Echo, meaning only each invidual damage split would get limited to 90%
This can make damage that would otherwise be blocked by OSP, lethal.”

Is there any real reason to think this is a bug besides “i don’t like it”? To me it sounds like natural emergent behavior?

[glacial knoll]

every version of sots prior to 1.3.9 had it working while respecting osp

[kindred herald]

wecho jankiest item ever added

does it still negate curse

[gilded ridge]

alr that is wack then how’d they break it

[twin cedar]

Before I pick this up what does the new lunar item do?

[gilded ridge]

it’s weird

and maybe bugged idk

just grab it you’ll see
hard to explain

[twin cedar]

I dunno is it gonna effect my run?

[gilded ridge]

it gives you a debuff but when you attack something you send the item to them

most of the time i end up grabbing it and then never getting it back because it just falls off a cliff or something

[twin cedar]

I'm trying to get the operator skin so I was wondering if it would kill my run like Egocentrism did when I first ever picked it up

[gilded ridge]

nah def not
you’ll probably lose it by the next stage lol

[civic iris]

Since shaped glass takes half your health away, does it technicaly mean your at 50% HP? I wanted to know so I could do the rex achievment where you finish tp at 50% or less

or does it half your hp by default, making that your 100%?

[kindred herald]

no

it sets your max hp to 50%
so youd need to be at half your new max hp- the display o nthe healthbar is just to show hwat yovue lost

[cinder pasture]

does defense not apply to armor?

[glacial knoll]

defense is armor what

[cinder pasture]

this stat. damage negation

or shield

the blue stuff when you get transcendence

[glacial knoll]

It's just translating the damage reduction armor gives into a %, for understanding

because armor is % damage reduction

Transcendence does not have any armor or damage reduction

[cinder pasture]

yeah but does armor % reduction apply to shield

[glacial knoll]

Yes

[cinder pasture]

is there really not a reason to pick up transcendence unless you are playing like rex or false son

[glacial knoll]

Shields cannot be healed by healing items

But it is one if not the best lunar

But unless you're cheating you cant just get a lunar you gotta pay for it

[cinder pasture]

having 2 billion lunar coins isnt cheating its just small aid

[civic iris]

alrighty that clears things up

[honest knoll]

does the node not spawn anymore once we angered SPEX?

[low anchor]

Best one is Gesture of the Drowned 10/10 pick

[full marsh]

How do I get to the solus wing through a regular stage 4?

[full marsh]

Transcendence is awful on false son btw, it absolutely ruins your growth

[cinder pasture]

i know

[novel drift]

How do you guys get through monsoon runs, loot everything or bee line to the boss

Because I’ve only survived one run, and it was multiplayer

[kindred herald]

loot everything

items are so much more impactful then time. get all the ite,s

[sour fractal]

agree

what is the new DLC elite modifier called?

[novel drift]

Thank you, I’ve been struggling to get past the first couple rounds and wasn’t sure what I’ve been doing wrong, I only have 63.5 hours on the game

[sour fractal]

what is this spike ball effect from?

[kindred herald]

wake of vultures killing a twisted elite or holding a twisted elite aspect

what the hell is the resolution here

[peak wigeon]

if spex kicks me out can i try again??

or am i locked out of solus heart this run

[last reef]

anyone know what u gotta do to get a drone in logbook? i have one missing despite buying it multiple times

[low anchor]

Loot everything. Once enemies get to lvl 99 they slow their scaling. and be mindfull of printers as they can help you shape your build better.

[last reef]

help is appreciated

i want a neat logbook

[austere vessel]

Can you craft Razorwire at chefs?

[hollow field]

make sure u use the back up at least once since one of them is the strike drone

but idk which one ur missing

[last reef]

im missing backup

what do u mean use it?

no im missing

transport

dont nkow why i said backup that mustve confused u

[low anchor]

Chirp!

That is Droneguy third drone

You got him unlocked and all right?

[last reef]

transport drone

ive bought it on a run before im not sure why its greyed out

must i win the run?

[low anchor]

You don't buy it

Transport drone is above the Droneboy.

[last reef]

oh i see

i have to equip it on operator

[low anchor]

CHIRP, You gotta start with operator ;p

[rose adder]

Does anybody have tips on how to use Junk Cubes against tanky air targets? It is really annoying having to try and take out brass contraptions and the sort. I'm trying to eclipse with her but most of my runs get stopped by that.

[last reef]

ok i appreciate it

[sour fractal]

mobile youtube video screenshot

[quick spindle]

does anyone have the codes for the new artifacts?

[last reef]

theres just 1 i can give it

[low anchor]

yyou can find it in the new stage 3 map at the end of the top drill

[tender temple]

You can always grab them and just throw them on the ground

[low anchor]

Or you know, See the screenshot.

[tender temple]

And when it comes to bosses just spam click m2 and m1 mid air I guess

Not a big fan of junk cube for combat personally

[rose adder]

yeah im torn between the scrap throw and junk cube rn

junk cube allows you to have so much Junk on demand

can reroll anytime you want, and when the stars align the damage can be great

[tender temple]

I'm cleanup all the way

[rose adder]

but when you have to fight a lot of aerial enemies it really shows its weaknesses

[tender temple]

The free junk aspect is rlly a nothingburger unless you plan on sitting on a stage for 10 more minutes after the tp

There's a ton of enemies and used interactibles to generate free junk with

[rose adder]

no I think it has some merit. without the cube your only really good way to get junk is grabbing and it makes you much faster, but yeah i dont ever sit and reroll

sometimesi will comeback to a printer if it is particularly bad tho

[tender temple]

It's just cleanup has more item synergies which wins it over for me personally

I benefit from so many more items than I would have with junk cube

[rose adder]

yeah was about to say its way better with proc

[tender temple]

Not really about proc

There's at the bare minimum multiple special projectiles that trigger on-interacts and on-kills

There's even one that makes ignition tank useful too

More crit synergy too

[rose adder]

oh you mean the backpack things

[tender temple]

You have like a 10% chance to spawn a squid polyp for free so long as you have the item

[rose adder]

ive been lurking the subreddit and I see a lot of people glaze junk cube a lot, but I think its mostly because of how fun it is compared to its alternative 😆

[tender temple]

You can ACTUALLY build into fireworks without it being a virtual requirement to run caffeinator

The first time I'm actually excited to see firework and polyp printers

God bless cleanup

[hexed karma]

I know I asked about this the other day but I swear I'm dumb. Can I get a quick step by step on how to unlock False Son? This feels like a total pain in the ass but I might just be trying to do it wrong.

[tender temple]

You need to get halcyon seed from beating aurelionite and then beat false son with it

So you either need to grind bazaar every stage and hope you roll a gilded coast seer before stage 4 or loop

[hexed karma]

Yeah but I cannot pay the game enough money to find a way to get to the gold coast.

[frail temple]

cleanup spawning engie shields is what kills it for me

incredibly annoying

[tender temple]

Well the only options are either you spend a bunch of lunar coins or hope the game spawns a golden shrine or a halc shrine past stage 3

[sharp sundial]

anyone know the newt altar spots for pretenders?

[tender temple]

I didn't get pretenders a single time since dlc dropped can't help

[sharp sundial]

ive been looking for 10 mins and I have a tricorn 😭

please i dont want sulfur pools somebody help me

[hexed karma]

Do Halycon shrines spawn during the Path? Do I need to run the full path? Do I need to finish a shrine before the gold coast?

[tender temple]

Well they can spawn during the path too but it's rare to get one past stage 1

The most reliable way is going to bazaar every stage

[sharp sundial]

the path doesn't matter as long as you go to treeborn on third stage (or get a green portal on stage 3)

[tender temple]

You get a guaranteed green portal after clearing gilded coast so long as you still have time to enter the path

[sharp sundial]

you can 'enter' the path in the middle by breaking 3 golden geodes in the bazaar

[tender temple]

You can also force yourself into prime meridian if you break the geodes in the bazaar after stage 3

Specifically stage 3

[sharp sundial]

that'll give you a green portal

[hexed karma]

What does the gold coast seer look like? I can barely tell what level is what from them.

[tender temple]

Anything before would send you before prime meridian and after stage 3 it just wouldn't work

[sharp sundial]

its very distinct. you see those gold-green rings in a dull background

[tender temple]

Unless you loop

Yeah it's a green ish one with rings

[sharp sundial]

kinda like this

[tender temple]

Easy to spot plus you can always ping seers to see what the stage is

[hexed karma]

oml

[sharp sundial]

i dont think they tell you that?

[hexed karma]

They do not.

[sharp sundial]

thats probably a mod

[kindred herald]

THIS is a wolfoqol feature

[sharp sundial]

yeah I know it isnt because I WISH it was

[tender temple]

Sorry don't remember the last time playing without goat qol

[sharp sundial]

abandoned aquaducts vs aphelian moment

[tender temple]

Aphelian has a pretty distinct floating rock in the middle of the seer

[sharp sundial]

no yeah I figured it out but I used to hit the wrong one always

I just look for the square plats

even now I have to walk up to them and look for a second

(doesnt help that we have another sandy/brown stage 3 now)

[hexed karma]

This isn't related and has to do with mods but every time I play the game using mods (and I only have ShareSuite rn), I can't interact with anything with my key but I can still get out of the escape pod. Is there a fix for that?

[sharp sundial]

we've got a modding channel, you can share the log and maybe mod list and get that checked out

[hexed karma]

ty

[civic iris]

does lysate cell do anything to drifters stock special?

[livid wedge]

Same thing it does to everyones. Faster cooldown and you get additional charges

Still costs junk, though

[cursive yew]

yo anyone know if the achievement for the new skins is broken????
i beat the game with my friend on loader twice now and didnt get it

the first time we phase skipped him to the point he didnt have dialogue and i thought that was the issue. this time he actually did the offering and we rejected it and still didnt get it

thats 2 entire runs without it working

[wanton hamlet]

loader has to accept the offer

[cursive yew]

no way 😭

[wanton hamlet]

and you only fight SH once per run so you need to kill him once per skin

[runic jungle]

^

Id check the logbook right after you beat Solus Heart each run to see which one you need to do on your character

[wanton hamlet]

yeah you can pause, check the logbook and then go to challenges to see the requirements

[quasi topaz]

any way to get a logbook that the dead solus wing is sitting on top of

[tropic adder]

Yeah it just gives you another use... its very good

[cyan niche]

I’ve fought the new dlc boss but I’m still confused by what it means when some skins say to accept the gift or reject it

[iron elbow]

How do you loop after the new boss

[iron elbow]

Interact or shoot I believe

[cyan niche]

There should be a portal infront of the boss afterwards, I entered it and entered stage 5 then looped

[gray scaffold]

Did yall make Defensive Microbots floor loot or was it not put in a 'temp item ban list'? Cause ive had it drop for me once from a box drone not playing captain

[cedar ether]

Y’know if there is a plan for crossplay? I have a friend who plays via PlayStation while I play PC. I’d love to play with him but…

[frank eagle]

can you go to the computational exchange multiple times per run?

[chilly cave]

||so to fight the new boss, is it any yellow cause my friend (doesnt own the dlc) has the cerebellem but cant craft the item needed||

[jagged verge]

does the Computational Exchange guy let you drop lunar items if you offer them to him?

figured it out myself and no you cannot :(

[wanton hamlet]

yes, if you beat alloy wing and then get to sirens call, if you kill AWU a virtual orb will appear like interacting with a node, that will lead you to CE

[wanton hamlet]

these are all the items that we know let you decrypt the cerebellum on CHEF

[wanton hamlet]

console versions and pc versions are different so i dont see it soon

[spiral rampart]

what is the best stage 3 for a cleansing pool?

[pliant anvil]

you can talk to the guy and he will drop the item automatically if you dont have it decrypted, so if you can make him drop it or you give the guy any of the items listed by venatori you can do it that way
I forget the guys name

[wanton hamlet]

cleansing pools can only spawn (stage 3) on aphelian sanctuary, scorched acres and sulfur pool

[spiral rampart]

alright perfect

[steady egret]

What does Nano bugged do?

[wanton hamlet]

the chance for at least one Cleansing Pool to spawn is 9.66% on Wetland Aspect and 10.96% on Scorched Acres btw

[wanton hamlet]

100% dmg from all abilities until they hit the ground

also ricochet damage for 120% i think

[steady egret]

so...juggle the foes to get extra dmg?

[wanton hamlet]

basically, get things like breaching fins or primordial cubes to get them in the air the most time possible

nano is a really strong debuff ngl

[steady egret]

Cool, and theres a achive for juggling an edler lumarian lol

[wanton hamlet]

just use a on him and look up while shooting it

[steady egret]

Ok

[wanton hamlet]

not shooting it like killing him i mean shooting the black hole srry

[steady egret]

Also for the 5 drones achive is it 5 unqiue drones?

[wanton hamlet]

yes

[steady egret]

Understood

on an unrealted note, does noxious thron add bleed or something?

[daring cloak]

Yea

[wanton hamlet]

yes, it adds a 10% chance and it transfers 33% of every debuff stack to 1 enemy

if you kill him obv

[steady egret]

Also singularity band got an inderect buff thanks to operater imo

[slender harness]

does artifact of frailty work on enemies?

[daring cloak]

Yes

[slender harness]

sweet ty

[brave goblet]

Hey all! A question about the final boss of Alloyed Collective below! SPOILERS BELOW!!!
||So I've been running the Alloyed Collective final boss, attempting to earn some skins. Usually you get the accept/decline prompt after killing the Solus Heart. But for my captain run, it just ended & 2 portals appeared. Is this normal? Did I do something different this time, will leaving through the portal loop?||

[wanton hamlet]

yes leaving thru that portal will loop

also are you not playing eclipse??

[brave goblet]

Is there benefit to eclipse for this? I'm just speedrunning through, attempting to earn the various skins for all survivors

[wanton hamlet]

no, eclipse makes u reject the offer automatically so u cant earn skins for accepting thats all

[brave goblet]

Once again, spoilers:
||So why didnt the option to accept/reject show up this time?||

OH, I wonder if I had DoT or procs that persisted

[wanton hamlet]

maybe a stray projectile hit him??? idk but dealing damage in any form rejects the offer

[brave goblet]

I doubt, I've got like 10 items. || But that sucks, I needed to accept for Captain's skin 🙁 ||

hiding chats in case those don't know this portion yet xD

Ok one more follow up: When looping, is that path permanently closed?

Like, I can only do Mithrix or Void bosses now, right? You can't do the same guy again

[wanton hamlet]

u sure an atg didnt proc??

[brave goblet]

Nah i'm guessing that's what happened. I'm NOT sure, but if i had to guess probably xD
But I dont have many ATG's & i've done this exact build like 5x to earn all the skins. Hasn't happened yet 😄

[wanton hamlet]

yes, if you kill SH you can only gain acces to a virtual portal via AWU on sirens calls that leads u to computational exchanche

[brave goblet]

Wait, i'm unfamiliar with this

Another path to get to Comp Exchange?? 😄

[wanton hamlet]

u can get this virtual portal anytime after looping, the thing is it gets u to Alloy Wing if you havent killed him yet

[wanton hamlet]

the nodes only spawn stage 3 and 4 loop 1, then you need to find sirens call yeah

[brave goblet]

So basically no way to get back & fight THIS boss again tho? I can't the skin this run?

[cerulean glen]

any advice on getting false son's alt utility skill? Ive gotten to and killed Mithix 3ish times now on Monsoon and i keep accidentally killing him with my spikes

[wanton hamlet]

more than 1 time no, you only get 1 encrypted cerebellum but my guess is you could get another one with the artifact of swarms if u are lucky or if u have a hunters tricorn

[cerulean glen]

with swarms, ive only gotten one cerebellum

[wanton hamlet]

yeah i havent tested and idk if solus wing is immune to hunters tricorn which he should be

[supple sonnet]

did any1 figure this out yet

[brave goblet]

Ok wait wiat let me try to simplify this:
||If I loop & get another Virtual Portal, fight the hunter, & I can fight Solus Wing again, correct? If I kill, I'd get another to craft cerebellum with Chef. So I could get BACK to this spot, no? But would the boss be available or would he be dead already?||

[wanton hamlet]

if you get another portal it doesnt lead u to conduit canyon, it gets u to solutional haunt like accesing the node on stage 4 basically

[brave goblet]

Oh, so you can't return to Conduit Canyon??

[wanton hamlet]

and idk if the message is hard to understand but you can only kill Alloy Wing one time per run

[wanton hamlet]

no, only stage 3

[brave goblet]

That's what I was misunderstanding.

[brave goblet]

This is perfect 😄 That's what i needed & ye i was missing 😄

time to run it back xD

Thanks boss! Best of luck in your runs 🙂

[wanton hamlet]

you too mate

[dark anchor]

question, what survivors are considered well on providing support?

[wanton hamlet]

seeker

[dark anchor]

like is there survivors that even if they don't have that much established support abilites, they can still be on a support in some ways

[dark anchor]

ah

[wanton hamlet]

drifter for temp items or rerolls

and captain for the hacking beacons

and healing ones but those are kinda useless

[dark anchor]

Yeah i can imagine there's not much going on with healing survs

[snow dagger]

Seeker and captain

[dark anchor]

Since you get rapid healing already from items

Depending on X stacks

[lethal sequoia]

so i just learned that infusions give full value after 100 kills no matter how many infusions i own.
But does that mean if i get one infusion very early and 4 more at stage 6 f.e. does my bonus health instantly pop up from 100 to 500 or do i have to stack the 4 new ones again?

[static jacinth]

guys does having more yellow seeds make the yellow guy strongerer?

[stark saffron]

can you complete artificer chunked by just using tricorn?

[hoary sedge]

yes but you have to damage the boss with an ability before you use the tricorn for it to count

[weary talon]

Is there a way to keep the Gup decoration permanently

[wanton hamlet]

Nitro

[ocean creek]

this is so stupid, i wanted to play eclipse cause monsoon is boring. just wasted 50 minutes of my time tryna do it on arti

[lofty orbit]

you have to stack the 4 new ones

[ripe bough]

do the radio scanners spawn correctly on the seekers of the storms maps or is it still broken

[lavish jacinth]

Seems to be fixed

[jaunty furnace]

yea

check the logbook (or enable inspecting and click on items while holding tab) to see how things stack

[fallow trench]

Im stuck in the artifact realm and I dont know how to get out

I beat the boss and nothing happend

[static jacinth]

pick up the artifact in the middle, where the sphere was, then enter the protal

[fallow trench]

The artifact was invisible I finally found it, Thank you

[ripe bough]

ok thank god I can finally get 100% logbook

[flat narwhal]

Wdym full value? Like every kill u get gives u 100Hp?

[lavish jacinth]

I think they mean you'll always get the full 100 hp bonus after 100 kills at most

[lavish jacinth]

you'd have to stack the 4 new ones, but you would only need to get 80 kills, since you'd have 400 hp to fill and are gaining 5 hp per kill

[flat narwhal]

Is singularity band just worse than a mix of the two other bands

[lavish jacinth]

yeah it kinda sucks

[flat narwhal]

Even on void fiend

[lavish jacinth]

the only time you'd really wanna take it is if you're about to end a run and don't already have bands

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[flat narwhal]

Ahh thanks

Is there a guide for the items how they function and if bad or good

[lavish jacinth]

well, there's the wiki

specifically wiki.gg, don't use the fandom one

it doesn't really rank whether the items are "bad or good" but it has good descriptions of how they work

but it's kinda hard to say objectively whether an item is bad, since almost everything at least has a niche where it can be good. Very few items are just straight-up garbage

[flat narwhal]

Ye cause idk what “more luck” means when I get the clover

[lavish jacinth]

tl;dr increased chance of most random effects happening https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/57_Leaf_Clover

[static jacinth]

am i tripping or is the only decent void items the plasma rocket, the root item

[lavish jacinth]

you're tripping

[static jacinth]

what items are good too then ? except for the rares?

[teal fern]

safer spaces, needletick, polylute

voidsent and vrit sometimes

[static jacinth]

no shot safer spaces is better what

[lavish jacinth]

safer spaces is extremely good

[teal fern]

it lets you avoid 1 hit of any damage, it’s basically an extra life up against elite enemies

[lavish jacinth]

unless you just get hit constantly

[flat narwhal]

Do Crit glasses suck on Rail gunner? Also Void seekers never worth it right?

[teal fern]

it really shines in eclipse mode

[static jacinth]

10 stack just bears als olet you avoid most hits

[teal fern]

it could be, not on railgunner tho

[lavish jacinth]

but if you're half decent at dodging, then the guaranteed block is way better than the random one

[teal fern]

who’s getting 10 bears 💀

[lavish jacinth]

it also stacks way more efficiently

[static jacinth]

stacks?

[teal fern]

spaces also lets you dodge fall damage

[static jacinth]

isnt it just cd redu ction on the garantee block?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, crit chance sucks on rg

[lavish jacinth]

yes

which is very good

[static jacinth]

how much stacks do u need for like sub3 sec?

16 ish?

[lavish jacinth]

15-16, but if you're getting hit every 3 seconds then I think you have other problems to worry about

[teal fern]

honestly just 1 or 2 increases my run win chance by like double xd

[lavish jacinth]

realistically you shouldn't need that many

[static jacinth]

wait so it just scales exponentially 10% per bear?

[teal fern]

exponetially downwards

[lavish jacinth]

if you're good enough at dodging that you only get hit once every 15 seconds or so, then a single stack of SS might as well make you invincible

[static jacinth]

can you become fully immune with enough?

[teal fern]

nope

[flat narwhal]

So tougher times has a chance to block an attack while safer spaces guarantees the attak gets blocked and has a cd

[lavish jacinth]

65 stacks gives you a 1-frame cooldown

you're not technically invincible but you might as well be

[teal fern]

you can get close

[static jacinth]

so you are immune 50% of the time?

[lavish jacinth]

...are you getting hit on literally every frame

[teal fern]

also who is out here stacking spaces and tougher times 💀, unless youre playing command

[static jacinth]

i mean i just feel like safer spaces does what two other common items do.

[lavish jacinth]

and it does it very, very well

[teal fern]

way better at it tho, opal is also good, wecho kinda sucks

[lavish jacinth]

opal's cooldown also resets if you get hit again

safer spaces doesn't

[teal fern]

fr? didnt know that

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

it's based on being out of danger, which means going 7 seconds without taking damage

but if anything, that means that SS and opal synergize

[static jacinth]

well i mean i didnt realise it just scaled so well tbh

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[teal fern]

it’s not really about the scaling, it’s more so that its effect is good

5 or 10 isnt doing much more than 1 or 2, at least it shouldnt

[lavish jacinth]

the only case where tougher times is better is if you ARE constantly getting hit

which is basically like... rex, or maybe seeker

arguably engineer since turrets suck at dodging, but SS can also be better for keeping engie himself alive

[static jacinth]

does seekers shift trigger razorwire?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[static jacinth]

what about roll of pennies?

[lavish jacinth]

nope, pennies reqiures being hit by an enemy

[teal fern]

the reason spaces is good is because most of the time, you’re dying to an unexpected 1-shot, accumulated damage isn’t really a thing if you have remotely any healing.

[static jacinth]

right but isnt there like one shot protection in this game

[lavish jacinth]

yep, damage gating is super strong

[lavish jacinth]

you don't ever wanna rely on osp though

[static jacinth]

does osp haver a cd?

[teal fern]

sometimes- not if you have wecho or on eclipse 8

[teal fern]

no, it’s an hp thing

[flat narwhal]

Is polyute better than ukulele

[lavish jacinth]

generally yes

[teal fern]

depends on if youre fighing crowds

[flat narwhal]

It doesn’t chain on other enemies right

[teal fern]

modtly yes tho, i would always pick up polylute

[lavish jacinth]

on average, it's a huge increase to single-target damage, which makes up for the lack of aoe

[flat narwhal]

Ahh I see ok

[lavish jacinth]

only time I might not take it is if I'm railgunner, since I already have great single-target and want the crowd control instead

[static jacinth]

oh so otp only works at 90% or higher hp?>

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[static jacinth]

then surely its better to take dmg using your osp then isntantly heal first

[lavish jacinth]

it also gets bypassed by multihit attacks

one shot protection means ONE shot

[lavish jacinth]

it's better to just not take damage in the first place

like, trying to abuse osp like that is unreliable since a lot of enemies can multihit, and you need a LOT of healing for it to work, and you're better off investing those items into damage, speed or defense so you can just avoid taking the hit at all

OSP should be your last resort

[lavish jacinth]

also before I forget

is also always worth taking

is situational but great on certain characters (especially engineer)

[flat narwhal]

Wha is vrit? Also how is voidsent better than will of wisp don’t they have to be Full Hp for the proc?

[lavish jacinth]

void crit

and voidsent and willo are kinda equal most of the time

like it's basically the same effect, just that one happens after an enemy spawns and the other happens after they die

although voidsent might be weaker now that drones can actually aim lol

willo is better if you have tho

[flat narwhal]

If I play solo it’s good but I play with friends isn’t willo better

[lavish jacinth]

probably, depends on how coordinated you are I guess

it can still help if you get jumped by a bunch of blind pests spawning around you or whatever

voidsent is also really, really funny to use against grovetenders

[jaunty furnace]

just pick up a gas or something

[lavish jacinth]

I am aware, yes

[lethal notch]

Is there a way to guarantee the Abyssal Depths for Rex unlock? I got cheated out of mine when I ran through every blue portal only to find the same maps over and over again and I was already struggling with damage because all I had was straight up defense.

[lavish jacinth]

it's never 100% guaranteed, but if you go to the bazaar from stage 3, you can use lunar seers to pick the next stage. I'd also recommend turning off AC so that repurposed crater doesn't show up

[lethal notch]

AC being? And repurposed crater is?

[lavish jacinth]

the new dlc, repurposed crater being the new stage 4 variant that it adds

[lethal notch]

So, disable DLC stages and hope to get it from blue portal?

Can I still do it on easiest difficulty? Was trying on hardest and felt like I was hitting walls of flesh due to my choices.

[lavish jacinth]

yeah. Alloyed Collective is the only one you should have to disable though, the other dlc's don't add any stage 4s

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[lethal notch]

Sounds good.

[lavish jacinth]

if an achievement doesn't specify a certain difficulty, then it can be done on any of them

[lethal notch]

Good to know. Was worried it would not be a thing because there were no donation rock thingies to get a blue portal on my easy diff run.

[lavish jacinth]

they're guaranteed on almost every stage, they're just hard to find sometimes

I think distant roost is the only stage that doesn't always have one (idk why lol)

[static jacinth]

you can kinda cheese it by doing it with two ppl and playing mul-t

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, that's another option

the fuel array won't explode if it's in mul-t's off-hand, but he doesn't spawn with a pod so you need to do multiplayer and take it from someone else's

[static jacinth]

thought i recomend just doing as noprmal as its a fun challenge

[sick pilot]

It's not that hard

[lavish jacinth]

if you wanna make it extra hard you could do it as engineer lol

turrets inherit the fuel array and will also explode at 50%hp

[static jacinth]

do they destroy the palyer equipment no right?

[lavish jacinth]

nah, they won't destroy the player's equipment

the explosion can, however, destroy the player

but it also damages enemies so it's technically a viable meme strat

[static jacinth]

heh can also kill enemies

[lethal notch]

If I get unlucky in the next one, I might do that. Not really interested that much in Rex to begin with.

[static jacinth]

you can also equip a diffirent equipment

if you encounter oneduring a stage compelte the tp and then pick up the fuel arrayu

[lethal notch]

This is how I survived till stage 4 on the highest difficulty. Was tanky, sure, but damn did I have no damage.

[lavish jacinth]

I wonder if this could also be cheesed with the new boss item

afaik it disables passive equipments similar to retool

[lethal notch]

I assume this is the only one this annoying to unlock, correct? I prefer them to direct me to a different, secret area to unlock a new character instead. Speaking of secret areas, I found a cave not too long ago under one of the maps that had a weird skeleton, when I picked it up, it stated that I unlocked some place?

[static jacinth]

does artifact of rebirth only work for one run ?

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[static jacinth]

after youve gifted your item then it goes back to rnd common?

thats lame

[lavish jacinth]

yeah rebirth is really underwheming lol

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, rex's unlock is the only one that's like that

there are some that might be considered harder (specifically the dlc survivors) but they're all based around beating the new final bosses in each dlc, so it's kinda fair

[static jacinth]

one of the skills for merc is kinda hard
but thats a skiill

[lavish jacinth]

the skeleton also doesn't unlock a new area, just a new item

[lavish jacinth]

well I ment unlocking new survivors

[lethal notch]

I am all for boss unlocks. Fairest and most enticing in any game.

[lavish jacinth]

in rex's defense, he was put in the game before a final boss even existed, so they kinda had to make up a challenge for him

[gray sigil]

Are my drones just shooting the boss and skipping the option, or are you not able to accept the offer of the collective in eclipse?

[cobalt quiver]

what are the ones that im missing?

[lavish jacinth]

you can't accept on eclipse

[lethal notch]

Reach a certain stage with only that many items. This is what I would be more interested in.

[gray sigil]

Ah okay makes sense. Thank you!

[static jacinth]

the bottom on is solus wing

[lavish jacinth]

solus amalgamator, solus wing, solus heart

solus wing has a bug where it always appears locked even if you've beaten it
(the log is also super hard to obtain since it gets stuck under its body)

[static jacinth]

how does one get the solus heart one

like is it just a chance?

[lavish jacinth]

you'd have to run underneath it and grab the book before the body falls to the ground, and then not get crushed by its body

or I guess have a cleanup drone eat its corpse, but that softlocks the game lol

[cobalt quiver]

would dio works? or you just immediately dies again under its body after respawning?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, I think you get stuck

[cobalt quiver]

fuck

[lavish jacinth]

hopefully it'll get patched soon

[placid pasture]

anyone can tell me how Mul-T retool with functional coupler will work?
Like, would I be able to hold 4? Or will I be able to hold just 3, but can cycle between equipments without retool-ing?

[orchid scarab]

if i have 9 tri tip dagger and one Noxious Thorn do i have 100% to bleed?

[unkempt escarp]

what killed me here?

[jaunty furnace]

if you have a 1.0 proc coefficient, yes

[jaunty furnace]

what does the end screen say

[lethal notch]

Is it fine to leave after unlocking Rex? Or do I have to beat the stage?

[twilit sand]

with the end screen maybe i could tellxd

[marble magnet]

What are the limits of substandard duplicator?

[unkempt escarp]

solus wing killed me but idk what attack he did

[marble magnet]

Did he turn red?

[jaunty furnace]

if you got the achievement, you got the achievement

[twilit sand]

oh, i think u got killed by the white net attack, the one that can came from above or below, it came from below, reason why the floor got white for a sec, and dissapeared when u died maybe, it shouldnt one shot you, but since u were receiving dmg by Rex abilities, yeah unlucky, thats what i think do, maybe im wrong

[marble magnet]

?

[twilit sand]

there u go, maybe im right

[unkempt escarp]

yeah a bunch of white lines appear on the floor and start going up after the clip ends

[twilit sand]

and u are half hp, makes sense u got killed with one hit from it

[marble magnet]

I'm just gonna do the testing myself

Ok yea my instinct was right

It doesn't affect lunars

Haven't tested voids but I'm positive it affects those if it turns non void items into their counterparts

[long mauve]

||if you accidentally declined the merge in the final boss fight can you loop and accept after fighting him again?||

[shut apex]

This question has probably been asked before, but why can i not end the game after beating the false son? Wiki says there should be a thing to end the game, but all i always get are two portals, green and blue

[long mauve]

I think you have to offer an item?

[shut apex]

There is nowhere for me to offer an item

[long mauve]

there should be

[shut apex]

does it maybe not appear in eclipse

[long mauve]

never heard of that happening

[shut apex]

Hmm.... Well, i am running mods, but 99% are just skins

[long mauve]

shouldn't affect it

[crystal rover]

I haven't been able to find anything supporting this but is Risk of Rain 2 going to get crossplay between PC and Consoles? Like, is it planned at all or nah?

[leaden zinc]

has anyone found the exact numbers of what each drone does for operators default secondary?

[torn inlet]

anyone managed to get the solus wing monster log yet or is it just perma stuck underneath him

[dusky raven]

You have to grab it before the wing falls on it, you’ll have enough time if you kill it at the top of the room and run under

#theorycrafting message so long as you don’t stand underneath it for too long

[placid pasture]

up, the 5 other mul-t mains on this server please help me figure out how retool and functional coupler interacts (haven't bought alloyed collective)

[primal vector]

Haven't tried it myself but I ahve read here that || yes, one addition slot per mult slot i.e. 4 equipments with one stack ||

[placid pasture]

alright that's great, time to crash my friend's computer with icbm. thanks

[fast widget]

What's the track that plays in the Alloyed Collective trailer?

[jaunty furnace]

eclipse can only end on mithrix (or voidling after mithrix but why would you)

[desert matrix]

Any idea how to get solus wing log? Does it spit out or do you have to rush under it as it's falling?

[jaunty furnace]

scroll up

[desert matrix]

Rightio

Ah kk

[lethal notch]

Why is Monsoon super difficult regardless of what I pick? I feel like my damage is always low or that I am super squishy. Is it that dependant on RNG?

[shut apex]

mmh, okay

makes it very difficult to have to do multiple endgame bosses if you choose alt paths

[jaunty furnace]

eh

[shut apex]

eh?

[ripe bough]

which hole in that level is this in

[abstract totem]

Should be the one on the middle level at the right

[dull elk]

How does Solus Wing Wall/Beam interact with the Engineer's Bubble Shield?

[primal vector]

I used it some days ago and I think you are immune to the beam. For thw wall i do t remember

[ripe bough]

does computational exchange have a log book?

[primal vector]

Yes

Here some indications on where to find it #theorycrafting message

[tender temple]

Monsoon only scales a little bit faster than rainstorm, if you struggle on a run in monsoon you would most likely struggle with the same run on rainstorm

Loot as much as you can it should make up for the scaling in most scenarios

[lethal notch]

Seems like I was just unlucky as hell in the previous runs when I asked the question.

[solemn wind]

Does attacking Spex do anything?

[tender temple]

It's the same as newt

It just locks you out if you reach a certain threshold

[modern dome]

does the computational exchange have an environment log?

[tender temple]

Yes

[modern dome]

can i get a hint for it?

preferably in the form of a poem or a riddle

[tender temple]

I don't know I wasn't the one who picked it up in my run

[cobalt quiver]

have warp echo negating eclipse 8 curse been fixed yet?

[modern dome]

aw shucks

[cobalt quiver]

||theres a gap on the left of the platform, under the transport wire, you can see it when traversing the wire||

[modern dome]

which platform?

ugh it might have a timer for it like some other environment logs

[tidal linden]

Found a log

[lethal notch]

Is the Halcyon Seed RNG, or is there a way to guarantee it. I want to become the Flase Son.

[lavish jacinth]

it's not guaranteed, but there are a lot of ways to get one, the most reliable way being through the bazaar

gilded coast has a decently high chance of appearing in a lunar seer

you can also get gold portals if you use a halcyon shrine while on one of the green portal stages, or from random gold altars

[lethal notch]

Never gotten a Gold Shrine in any of my green stage runs.

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, they can appear on any stage but they're pretty rare

[ripe bough]

does the sundered grove scanner not spawn properly or am I just really unlucky

[lavish jacinth]

you're unlucky

[frank sluice]

Does anyone know Newt locations on Pretender's Precipice, the new stage 2?

[drowsy idol]

To unlock the operator skin from the new boss, do I need to accept the offer or can I leave throught he portal

[prime frigate]

If you give the negotiation guy in-between fights anything other than the exposed cerebellum, what happens?

[celest fern]

Hello, with regards to Railgunner: Marksman challenge where you need to fire 30 consecutive sniper shots without missing a weak point, does firing on nothing counted as a miss?

[lavish jacinth]

doesn't matter, you just have to win

(on monsoon)

[lavish jacinth]

yes iirc

[celest fern]

Ah damn thanks

[knotty geyser]

it shoots out, making it the only way to give items to other players

uh. without like cauldron or scrapping and such

[prime frigate]

Interesting, is there a way to leave without fighting the heart?

[knotty geyser]

yeah just go back through the portal

[prime frigate]

Oh

Thanks

[knotty geyser]

and then any encrypted portal will lead you to the Cexchange

[lavish jacinth]

I think after doing it like 3 times he won't accept any items other than the cerebellum

[fast widget]

Can you repair/re-purchase the TC-280 drone when it dies after the Alloyed Collective update? Heard you can but after checking the patch notes it doesn't seem like you can...

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[fast widget]

Damn that's a bummer. Though at least you likely wouldn't need to repair them anymore, heard they're built like a tank now.

[west ermine]

what do these arrows mean

[willow iris]

Is the thing that summons the ||solus prototype|| a guaranteed spawn on most stage 4s, or is it only a chance to spawn

[primal vector]

that they are being improved by some effect like microbots or dynamite

[tender temple]

Yeah they are quite literally unkillable unless it gets hit by like a void implosion

[tender temple]

If you mean amalgamator then it's guaranteed on stage 3s(besides treeborn) and 1 of the stage 4s has a guaranteed node too

[west ermine]

does bleed proc nanobugged?

[livid wedge]

Damage from skills only

[frosty cipher]

can you kill ||the solus wing|| using the tricorn

[livid wedge]

I'm gonna go with no since it does not have a boss drop but I can't say I've tried

[jaunty furnace]

wing is a full-on boss

not just a regular teleporter boss

[fading bolt]

I want to play mods with my friend but cross play doesn't exist and I wanna know if I can mod on xbox so if it's possible please tell me

[frigid folio]

how many lunar coins do you get for accepting?

[west ermine]

What items do people enjoy for operator?

[high forum]

there's no crossplay, and no mods on consoles

[onyx anchor]

are scrappers with artifact of command rare or non-existent?

[high forum]

Scrappers don't spawn when Command is active

[onyx anchor]

checks rules

ok i can say fuck

i have a stack of 85 of prayer beads with command on, i am goofy

[cobalt marsh]

what's the new lunar do?

[onyx anchor]

Reduces stats while you're in combat, but you can send it to an enemy

[cobalt marsh]

lol

its an equipment?

[round leaf]

Do both players need the dlc to play the or only the host?

[onyx anchor]

no

[onyx anchor]

only host

[frosty cipher]

only the host but the other player cant play as operator or drifter

[round leaf]

k

[high forum]

you can still get rid of things like that at soups in the bazaar/commencement

obviously it's luck what gets taken but still, with 85, the odds aren't bad lol

[onyx anchor]

yeah i had to get more greens to get rid of em

it seems to be the lowest priority possible, i think

[fierce perch]

just went for the utility 2 challenge for Operator, where you have to stay airborne until you beat the teleporter boss in conduit canyon, which i did do ( a lot of hopoo feathers and like 10 drones to juggle inbetween) but i didnt get the achievement? I also used the conduit lines, which i assumed didnt count as ground since they didnt refresh hopoo feathers. Final thing i did was oneshot the alloy bird thing with hunters tricorn since i thought it would make it fastest

do any of these invalidate the achievement

[untold brook]

Put more skins for new characters and also skin from dlc

[fading bolt]

How many fuel cells for the lightning equipment to have 0 cooldown

[heavy gorge]

Can dead people control drones outside of the DLC or does it need to be enabled?

[fading bolt]

Idk

[heavy gorge]

: (

[high forum]

it would be like 47

[fading bolt]

My cooldown on it is 11 rn

[high forum]

yeah they should be able to, the default key for it is F I think, and then it'll bring up a menu. but they need to have bought drones before in that run to spawn as them

[tender temple]

not entirely correct as far as im concerned, you just need to have the drones unlocked in general rather than have them in the same run

[high forum]

oh, i coulda sworn it was in that run, but i think you're probably right

[tender temple]

it seems to work weird in coop cause only the host seems to get the drone unlocks

[high forum]

ahhh maybe that's it

[tender temple]

multiple times my friends just didnt keep the drone logbook after purchasing it

and they only kept it once THEY were the host

didnt happen to me personally but it did affect 2 of my friends

[marble magnet]

Is it possible to pillar skip with just hardlight afterburner reposess?

[wanton hamlet]

you can pillar skip if you have the dampener i think, theres a vid on yt showing how to do it with drifter

[tender temple]

how does dampener affect movement at all

[wanton hamlet]

i got confused it was Faraday Spur lololol srry

[marble magnet]

But can I skip with 3 reposesses?

[blissful night]

Is sonorous whispers affected by the luck stat

[wanton hamlet]

dont think so

[blissful night]

asking because I have a like 4 hour command run going rn and have like 200 regen scrap. if I get 1 sonorous whispers then a ton of clovers will every elite enemy drop an item

[wanton hamlet]

oh yeah

it increases the chance to drop an item on Elite kill.

thats all i could find on the wiki

[blissful night]

its a base 4% then +1% every stack

[marble magnet]

I could skip with 3 reposesses

[wanton hamlet]

sonorous description is actually wrong, it is a 5% chance

[fierce perch]

^

[wanton hamlet]

hunters tricorn shouldnt invalidate the achievement so idk what happened there

its actually the prefered method

[blissful night]

the lines do unfortunately

[fierce perch]

damn

[blissful night]

I tested it multiple times and they do. across 6 runs any time id touch the lines it wouldnt work. 7th or 8th run I didnt touch the lines and it worked

[willow crescent]

yoo how tf can I kill the solus wing

the boss to kill then get the drifter?

[wanton hamlet]

target the weakpoints

he has a 1000 armor, killing each weak point decreases it and it stuns him

[willow crescent]

the 3 balls? how can I do so with my engineer turrets XD

[wanton hamlet]

he has one on the top too lol

with engineer by itself its very hard

[frank eagle]

what does the status effect that operaters special gives do

[wanton hamlet]

nano makes them take 100% dmg from all abilities

and also ricochet into projectiles that do 120% i think

[quasi crystal]

I have the basic characters unlocked: Engineer, the bot, and the magic-using dude can't remember his name. How do I get the rest of them? I have no clue, not to save my life.

[primal vector]

If you hover over each slot it tells you the unlock condition. You can also check the logbook in the main menu and during a run. If there is a specific (or several) unlock condition that you dont know what it means or how to do it, you can ask

[quasi crystal]

I'm on console

[wanton hamlet]

its the same thing

[quasi crystal]

Really? Brb I'm checking this rq I swear if I've been that stupid I might jump out a window

[wintry fjord]

How does temp infusion work

[wanton hamlet]

if you cant hover over just check the logbook

[wanton hamlet]

bonus health is lost i think, like scrapping them

[quasi crystal]

Yeah I'm hovering my dude nothing is popping up.

[wanton hamlet]

check the logbook on the main menu and go to challenges

there are the unlock conditions

[quasi crystal]

Which ones are the unlock conditions?

Nvm found them

[fair mauve]

does anyone know where the log for solutional haunt is? i've been searching for what feels like 20 minutes already and i just can't seem to find it

[primal vector]

Here you have the images #ror2-game-questions message

But you wont find it this run. All the special logs despwn after 5 minutes

[forest rock]

Whats the best dlc?

[steady stone]

void and ac are pretty close, most people say void is just above ac

[primal vector]

The first person to make that question afte the last dlc release

[feral zinc]

What’s the name of the song that plays during the cutscene where u escape the moon?

[steady stone]

sots isn't even in the competition we left them at home

[primal vector]

I don't this is the common sntiment right now

[steady stone]

What would you say for ranking?

They are both pretty good honestly

[primal vector]

I have seen people recommending sots over sotv lately

But I would recommend going in order

Not for a matter of quality or not but to avoid getting overwhelmed I guess

I would recommend going in order, but I dont have a solid stance here

[steady stone]

https://youtu.be/AVjEPJdvIrg?si=GDooTK0nTdJ7aI4p

[rugged fractal]

are there any newt altars on iron allevium?

[errant ibex]

Where's the legendary chest in the new stage 4

The one through the portal

[fair mauve]

bruh

[brave spear]

I know Im missing voidling but who is next to solus heart

[willow crescent]

there are heaters and coolers in that boss room

anyone knows anything?

[jaunty furnace]

wing probably

[brave spear]

annoying cause its the last one I need

killed him twice with 100+ clovers and didnt see it

[jaunty furnace]

probably because his fat ass falls on it

[brave spear]

true

[jaunty furnace]

from what ive heard you gotta try to go below it as it dies to hopefully pick it up before it dies

[brave spear]

fuck

[jaunty furnace]

maybe wait for the patch 🐱

[mellow kiln]

Does somebody know how Commando's Suppressive Fire works when used in succession?
As in, if you have Lysate Cell and press R multiple times, does it come out multiple times at once or do you need to space the uses out to properly make use of them?

[sinful sandal]

What the hell is UP with boss logs man

I could swear I’ve never had a high clover stack actually matter

[sinful sandal]

I think it cancels the previous SP

Haha, suppression of suppressive fire

[brave spear]

I just got voidling, Alloy hunter and overloading worm in one run with a clover stack

it works I just think the other guy is right, it probably falls beneath him

[sinful sandal]

Went to voidling with like 16 naturally (no command) after waiting for a newt cauldron

I think I just need to surrender and run a looping sacrifice command run

For the environment logs especially (is that the best strategy?)

[brave spear]

oh lol I had alot more

[sinful sandal]

Yeah that would do it lol

command or insane green scrap

[brave spear]

enviroment logs you need command and sacrifice at the same time so the radar has a higher chance of spawning

[sinful sandal]

Oh can drifter reroll cauldrons

[sinful sandal]

Yeah that’s what I figured/heard

No other strategies? I guess maybe a radar is smart

[brave spear]

radar is probably all you need, they appear as chests to the scanner so seeing one with sacrafice on should noticible considering there should be no chests

[sinful sandal]

Oh perfect

Do clovers increase sacrifice drop rate

[brave spear]

dont think so but it does affect sonorous whispers

[sinful sandal]

don’t got the dlc

uhh, what about shipping order

Like does it still drop, ik it’s rarity is based on stacks

[brave spear]

shipping gets better the more you stack

[sinful sandal]

Ye but does it appear in sacrifice

[brave spear]

It should

[split gyro]

Kinda silly question but is the new dlc the last one or will there be more

[sinful sandal]

Probably more. I’d prefer they update old dlc though

[brave spear]

probably more, they havent said they were done yet

[split gyro]

Alright, thank yall :]

[sinful sandal]

More void items would be great. Preferably sots gets more attention

[full marsh]

Where's the logbook in solutional haunt?

[narrow lion]

Can you use Captain's hack beacon on the halcyon shrine
Just asking before I do

[strong echo]

how do you chain the shift skill with the operator? it says that i can press to activate and jump to another drone, but it just jumps

[hoary sedge]

you have to be close enough to a drone to jump to

it helps if you jump off your current one before using the ability again, you get more height that way too

[full marsh]

Won't work

[tranquil delta]

how do i tell if im going to teleport to mithrix stage or back to a stage one map?

[gentle moss]

There is a different looking teleporter on stage five, you can interact with its sides to change locations. It aligns with the moon-> mythrix or the planet -> stage one.

Alternatively using a newt statue will give you a portal to the bazzar and stage 1. Or you can look around for secrets on stage 5 for a different teleporter

[tranquil delta]

ok, thank you

[jaunty furnace]

you have to aim

[gentle moss]

You have to have another drone to latch onto and aim for it

[fierce oasis]

yo does anyb know what i have to do at the cycle compound thing? nvm i got it

[humble roost]

whats so good about freeze?

[strong echo]

yea, found that out after playing some more after a while, it's just that the drone pointers are as visible as a needle in a haystack

[graceful surge]

what dis?

[lavish jacinth]

Its the visual effect from volcanic egg, sometimes it bugs out and gets stuck

[graceful surge]

oooh ty

[lavish jacinth]

Like in general? Frozen enemies can't move or attack, and will be instantly killed if damaged below 35%hp

[rugged fractal]

do drone combiners always spawn on stage 4 and stage 5 or is it random?

[lavish jacinth]

It's random

And they seem to be pretty rare, at least in my experience

[frigid nimbus]

if I complete alloyed collective, does it disable other endings? I have looped three times and I havent seen anything from dlc 2 or dlc 3

[chrome mist]

Are you supposed to do anything different against the new boss when ||everything becomes red||

[frigid nimbus]

It doesnt instakill you or anything I think, just keep dodging

[mighty mist]

if neutronium weight is at 8 stacks and you reduce an enemies damage by 100% do they do 0 damage to you?

[lavish jacinth]

There are heat vents around the area that you can destroy to stop the attack, as well as hydrant things that'll create cold zones where it's safe to stand

[lavish jacinth]

It'll eventually kill you if you don't deal with it, it builds up fire damage like the grandparents' sun (although it's a lot slower)

[lavish jacinth]

I think the stat reduction is exponential, so it can't hit 0%

[frigid nimbus]

oh I didnt notice, I have always been able to kill it before it becomes a problem

[mighty mist]

really?

[lavish jacinth]

I don't think you can redo the dlc3 fights but false son should still be accessible

[wintry ingot]

Does anyone know why the level cap is 94?

[mighty mist]

How do you know id like to be able to learn more about it

[lavish jacinth]

The wiki lol

[lavish jacinth]

Because at level 94, the amount of xp needed to level up is past the integer limit

The devs never really expected you to reach it, and it wasn't realistically possible until longstanding solitude existed

[mighty mist]

ah which one i don’t see that it says it’s exponential

[lavish jacinth]

Wiki.gg

[mighty mist]

oh i see it now

[lavish jacinth]

Don't use the fandom one

[mighty mist]

So how many would you need to reach 80% reduction

[lavish jacinth]

I think like 12 stacks or so

[opal crown]

Does collector's compulsion raise crit by the stated 3% per pickup?

I'm using the looking glass UI mod which gives the impression that I'm only getting 0.33% per pickup.

[lavish jacinth]

it should be 3%, that's how that would usually work

unless they made it multiplicative for some reason

[opal crown]

Oh I think it is multiplicative.

I have a scythe and an instincts, to give me a base crit of 11%, which then 3% of that is 0.33

[lavish jacinth]

weird

I wonder if it's multiplicative with other stats as well

gearbox has a habit of calculating stuff weirdly so it wouldn't surprise me too much lmao

[shell dock]

where computational exchange logbook

[eternal lark]

Whats the trick for operator mobility, or do i need to look at a drone everytime

Movement but you dont get to choose where you go sounds butt

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, you can chain jumps infinitely if you leap towards another drone

there's a faint indicator of which one you'll grab but it's kinda hard to see, usually it'll work if you just aim at a drone tho

[boreal path]

Can ceremonial dagger trigger procs?

[frosty reef]

yup. 1.0 proc coefficient

[boreal path]

That's... Really good actually

[teal topaz]

this is a very particular question but is there a way to make my hp numbers slightly less jagged and ugly? its been this way since sots dropped and it never went back to normal

[keen parrot]

Why are there these.. crystal things in the Newt shop area?

I broke two of them and don't know what it did. Can't find anymore of them

[lavish jacinth]

there are 3, breaking them will spawn a green portal

[keen parrot]

I did not know this

Where's the third? I broke one under the place you spawn and a little behind that

[lavish jacinth]

they have a bunch of possible spots (the wiki lists all of them) but they're pretty well-hidden

[keen parrot]

I'll have to look it up then, just a new surprising thing-

[lavish jacinth]

it's been around for a while, it was added in one of the sots updates

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Bazaar_Between_Time#Green_Portal

[lavish jacinth]

might be something to do with anti-aliasing settings

[teal topaz]

no difference between fxaa, smaa and off

[lavish jacinth]

hm

[teal topaz]

irdk what it could be

[lavish jacinth]

looking at some screenshots, I think I have the same thing in my game, I've never paid that much attention to it lol

[drifting bane]

hey so i accidentally murdered the guy you give items to in the area after the solus boss guy, so he kicked me out, is there any way i can return?

[lavish jacinth]

only way back is to kill Alloy Worship Unit for a guaranteed portal

the node things stop spawning after you've been there once

[drifting bane]

okay

[teal topaz]

it hasnt been a huge deal but it has been bugging me more and more lately bc when im in the middle of a big fight and i wanna quickly glance at my hp numbers or just generally see how much i got it kinda blends together

[cinder pasture]

HOW DO I MAKE IT SO MY SENSE DOESNT CHANGE WHEN I SPRINT?

[drifting bane]

so i might've given the offering of the exposed cerebulleum earlier and then got kicked out for killing him on accident

is there any other way to get him to let me in?

[lavish jacinth]

oh, rip

nope, you can't get another cerebellum

[cinder pasture]

turn my molten into a third charged (there is a printer)?

[frosty reef]

Item diversity is better. Keep it :)

[lavish jacinth]

definitely keep it

especially if you're planning to go to solus heart

[cinder pasture]

i originally had 2 genesis loops should of have kept one?

[cinder pasture]

howd you know?

[lavish jacinth]

everyone's going to solus heart lol

[cinder pasture]

oh damn

[lavish jacinth]

new boss, and the best one in the game

but the perforators have a recipe with the wandering chef

[cinder pasture]

what do tehy create?

[lavish jacinth]

perfs are WAY better than genloop

[lavish jacinth]

Sauteed worms, ||10% chance on hit to summon a spectral worm that attacks and ignites enemies for 500% total damage per second for 10 seconds||

[cinder pasture]

holy crap.

do you count QoL mods like this as cheats?

[lavish jacinth]

eh, not really

[left forge]

You still need to actually dodge and do proper skill rotations if needed

[lavish jacinth]

but even if I did, who cares lol

[left forge]

Their fault for making printers take the entirety of the GTA VI development cycle to print out ONE item

[cinder pasture]

what?

[frosty reef]

Eh the loop isn't amazing, I like your call with the double perf

[cinder pasture]

ohnvm i get it

[left forge]

Also gen loop is mid unless it's engi but by loop it's useless since the map gets wiped and your turrets can't die

[cinder pasture]

do i do it? empathy cores and i have 2 charged and 1 molten perf?

[left forge]

Save for sauteed worms tbh

[cinder pasture]

ive never seen more than one yellow printer in a single run

[left forge]

Mando needs procs and u alr have some drones for aggro draw

[cinder pasture]

chrono or tenta bauble

[lavish jacinth]

might as well go tenta

tenta is good with proc characters and it stacks better

[cinder pasture]

does root just trap?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

instead of a guaranteed slow you get a chance to completely stop enemies from moving

stacking increases the chance and duration

[cinder pasture]

does networked suffereing effect procs on multiple? like if i proced bleed on one then it would apply to all?

or is there an item like that?

[lavish jacinth]

nah, the closest thing to that would be noxious thorn

networked suffering itself also doesn't have a proc coeff

[cinder pasture]

what does the new shirne in the new biome do like shrine of order

[cinder pasture]

yeah i guess that would make it too op

[lavish jacinth]

the combat shrines?

[cinder pasture]

idk it just says shrin of order

[lavish jacinth]

oh

[cinder pasture]

idk wehn iget back there ill send a ss of it

[lavish jacinth]

I think it's just a normal shrine of order

I've never used it lol
since y'know... shrine of order

[cinder pasture]

right here on helminth? they can spawn on this map/

[cinder pasture]

what is a normal shrine of order?

[lavish jacinth]

funny meme shrine

[cinder pasture]

am i brain farting i dont think i have ever seen one?

[lavish jacinth]

they're sorta rare, they only spawn on commencement and rallypoint delta

all items in your inventory will be converted to a single stack of a random held item within each tier

I do not recommend it lol

[cinder pasture]

oh i thought that was something else or at least called something else

[frosty reef]

Guaranteed on conduit canyon now yeah?

[lavish jacinth]

I meant other than conduit canyon, yea

[frank parcel]

does anyone have a simple method of doing the operator alt m2 quest :C, im trying with glass command and swarms but nothing lines up right its frustrating

[cinder pasture]

i have no tritips but i found a tic should i take it?

[lavish jacinth]

if you're close to the end of the run then might as well, yeah

[lavish jacinth]

also they can spawn on most maps, but only from stage 4 onwards and they're insanely rare

[cinder pasture]

whats your opinion on tri tip vs tic?

[lavish jacinth]

both can be good, depends on survivor and situation

collapse does more damage up front but bleed stacks better, so it depends on how quickly and reliably you can stack the effect

[cinder pasture]

so commando and captian tip or tic

[lavish jacinth]

generally commando and cap would prefer tritip

they can focus a lot of procs on a single target for a long time, so they're great at stacking bleed

[cinder pasture]

ive never chosen tic on merc but would that work better with the alt special?

[lavish jacinth]

merc can kinda go either way

tick is good if you get lots of low-damage procs that you don't always follow up on, Acrid being a good example

merc can focus procs on one target enough to stack bleed, but he also tends to get tons of random hits on other enemies

[cinder pasture]

what about rex (THE GOAT)

[lavish jacinth]

I'd also say he can go either

[lavish jacinth]

usually the way I'd see it is like
tritip:
tick:
either:
n/a (scrap tritip):

[cinder pasture]

why scrap it?

[cinder pasture]

shouldnt void fiend automatically have tick since it boosts his passive?

[arctic sequoia]

is steak worth on false son for the lunar achievement or just do the pauldron setup

[cinder pasture]

why not both?

[brittle shuttle]

just do pauldron setup

[lavish jacinth]

bleed and collapse both deal flat amounts of base damage, since loader and RG both primarily deal huge burst damage they're much better off scrapping it and looking for a multiplier instead

[brittle shuttle]

well honestly with alloyed collective steak might be worth it a little bit to turn into seared steak

[lavish jacinth]

although railgunner could make bleed or collapse work with her alt m2

[brittle shuttle]

but if youre doing the pauldron method that as is takes like 10 minutes maximum

[cinder pasture]

i understand railgunner since you want to proc crowbar but i feel like loader would it would still be nice

[lavish jacinth]

loader also wants crowbar

[cinder pasture]

really?

which move nukes? dash?

[lavish jacinth]

the 2700% charged punch that deals more damage the faster you're moving in question:

or 2100+% if you're using the alt
either way, Loader has insane burst damage

[cinder pasture]

so are going to minecart punch while using spideer man. fair enough

[cinder pasture]

shouldnt captain fall under this since he has a 40000% dmg move

[lavish jacinth]

and it does help his passive, but stacking bleed is also strong enough to justify not taking tick

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, but his shotgun is his main source of dps

loader and railgunner scrap tritip because they almost exclusively deal high burst damage, but have low proc rates that make bleed and collapse less valuable (especially loader)

[cinder pasture]

can i turn sentri keys into boss scrap?

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[cinder pasture]

damn

[lavish jacinth]

scrapping them could be a softlock so it kinda makes sense, they stop dropping after you've picked up a certain amount

or it'd be an infinite source of boss scrap if scrapping them resets the drops, idk how exactly it works

[cinder pasture]

any worth combinations?

[lavish jacinth]

bro I have no idea lmao

off the top of my head I know you can upgrade the steaks to something better

[cinder pasture]

worth for solu heart?

i can also get of one mind

[lavish jacinth]

of one mind might be worth it, but aurelionite's blessing is completely useless lol

at least at this point in the run

[arctic sequoia]

picking up pauldron is so annyoing, so slow ughhhhhhhhhh

[cinder pasture]

this new boss is just painful. near instantlly kills

[lavish jacinth]

fun as hell though

[cinder pasture]

not unless im merc. ive been instantly killed by a wall that spawns on me

on every run

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, you really have to watch out for the walls

[cinder pasture]

they spawn on me what am i supposed to do

[lavish jacinth]

I think there's an indicator when they're about to spawn

[cinder pasture]

i think the disabling items is dumb but thats just me

[lavish jacinth]

keep spamming your m2, you gain movement speed for every spent spike

[cinder pasture]

im fine if they take an item but disabling ALL of them is just annnoying

[arctic sequoia]

really? i didnt know that

[lavish jacinth]

just don't touch the floor

[cinder pasture]

equipped captain skin but not loading on character selection? bug?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, just a visual bug, it'll work once you get in-game

[arctic sequoia]

im stuck at 30 spikes

[dense summit]

how do i get more characters

[lavish jacinth]

by doing achievements, hover over locked ones on the character select screen, it'll tell you what to do

[lavish jacinth]

get more health multipliers

you need a little over 10k bonus health to get the unlock

and remember that it unlocks at 44 spikes, the 4 you start with don't count and neither do backup mags

[twin cedar]

Can I fight the new boss after looping or do I have to do it in my initial run through?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, you can loop first

[twin cedar]

Oh thank God I felt like I was doing wrong

[teal fern]

really? Ive not seen any reports of this bug

[lavish jacinth]

fr? there have been a ton of them lol

[teal fern]

could you link one?

[lavish jacinth]

seems like it may be a modded issue but I've also seen people say it isn't

[lavish jacinth]

#1442826593343901707 message

I think I've seen a few more in #ror2-bug-reports-pc

[teal fern]

It seems like a non modded issue

does it happen to all accept skins?

[lavish jacinth]

no idea

[arctic sequoia]

what boss should i fight to try and get aurelionite kill

[lavish jacinth]

it has to be done on mithrix

[arctic sequoia]

ah okay

[lavish jacinth]

I'm not even sure it'd be possible on the other final bosses anyway

[arctic sequoia]

can mithrix steal the summon item?

[lavish jacinth]

he specifically can't steal aurelionite

[arctic sequoia]

ah okay

ill just have to try not to die

[lavish jacinth]

the hard part is making sure auri gets the final blow and that you don't accidentally kill mithrix

[arctic sequoia]

i see

[lavish jacinth]

that unlock is super finicky, easily one of the worst in the entire game

[arctic sequoia]

i know theres a mod that gives unlocks but like i wanna try

do you think theyll fix it?

[twin cedar]

Uhh does this new fourth world have a legendary chest or anyway to get a guaranteed legendary like most do?

[lavish jacinth]

conduit canyon or repurposed crater? either way the answer is yes

on crater it has a few different spots marked by gold trees

[twin cedar]

I didn't see the name but its very red and weird looking

Is that crater?

[lavish jacinth]

on canyon it's near the start of the stage underneath the platform, in a little room on the right side. There's a conduit that goes past it

[lavish jacinth]

if it's red but not abyssal depths, then yes

[twin cedar]

Alright thanks

So gold trees?

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[sturdy zodiac]

can you do solus wing twice in the same run?

[lavish jacinth]

no

[sturdy zodiac]

💔

gesture capacitor hit the brain thing n now im locked

[lavish jacinth]

you can get another encrypted portal if you need one

killing alloy worship unit always spawns one

[sturdy zodiac]

would the mainframe portal still be there?

[lavish jacinth]

it's really annoying how careful you gotta be with spex

[lavish jacinth]

either the mainframe portal is still there, or it'll take you straight to the area with spex, I forget which

either way, you can get back

[sturdy zodiac]

alr ill try ty

[coral flint]

what should i build with Operator (using command)

[rare flame]

tips for when the ||solus heart is like. destroying the arena. not the gradual attack but the one with 2 sweeping walls where it gets rid of like, the entire platform?|| (AC secret boss)

[lavish jacinth]

definitely go for procs on him

[olive agate]

who good charcter to use without dlc ? im try use engineer i dont have skills yet

[rare flame]

probably just standard proc items and stuff like bleed, but he works good with bands too

[rare flame]

just... try em all! they're all good. even if the dlc ones are powercrept a bit

[lavish jacinth]

just try to get behind the walls as they go past, the platforms reappear after a few seconds

[rare flame]

engineer is one of the more out there survivors. if you can get commandos alt utility hes pretty good, same for huntress. mul-t has lots of options. get more survivors id say

[lavish jacinth]

it also won't (immediately) kill you to touch the lava floor, it just disables your items for a second

[rare flame]

it just feels like they dont reappear fast enough unless i have hopoo...

[rare flame]

OHHH.. okay

[lavish jacinth]

engie benefits a lot from having his alt skills though, especially the alt mines

[rare flame]

yeah, default engi really stinks. except his turrets

[coral flint]

gotcha ty

[lavish jacinth]

bandit is pretty solid one when you're starting out

[slow maple]

an Eclipse rank can be completed by killing any of the final bosses right?

[lavish jacinth]

easy to handle and generally a lot stronger than commando or huntress

[lavish jacinth]

nope, you can only finish eclipse runs at mithrix

[slow maple]

boooo thanks

[visual anchor]

can elder lumarians spawn from artifact of kin?

[lavish jacinth]

they can

but if you're trying to do the operator achievement I'd recommend just finding a naturally spawning one

[visual anchor]

agreed i thought i could get it especially with quickrestart

[arctic sequoia]

false son is my fav character why is this unlock so hard

[lavish jacinth]

throw at it and it's basically free

[visual anchor]

yea i saw that strat

guess ill just find one thx
