[crude flame]

leeching seed in a isn’t a bad take

[kindred herald]

yes it is

[crude flame]

scythe is way better but seed isn’t bad

[gentle moss]

go to bed, sleepy

[cinder pasture]

FROZEN RELIC IN A?

[kindred herald]

leeching seed is a abysmally terrible item with no value

[cinder pasture]

THAT THING SAVES RUNS

[kindred herald]

no it does not.

[west monolith]

Its too survivor reliant to be A it should be like B idk

[crude flame]

oh true. b is good

[gentle moss]

yall need to calm down it isnt that serious

[cinder pasture]

we just gonna ignore a quarter of C is good

[crude flame]

pie is going in their tirade about ur tier list

[gentle moss]

im going to be flayed for my survivor opinions too

[kindred herald]

humanity was a lost cause because everyone here is bad at video ames

[gentle moss]

i agree

people need to play more risk of rain 2

[kindred herald]

remind me in like. 18 hours and i will feed you my objectively correct items tier list so you can know how ot be good at video games.

[lavish jacinth]

how about I post my shitty old list and everyone can be mad at that instead

[kindred herald]

no fax machine i respect you a slight amount

[gentle moss]

bad idea

[kindred herald]

dont ruin that

[cinder pasture]

@gentle moss
BROACH, FIREWORK, PORTABLE SHIELD, STICKY BOMB, flash grenade, CLIPBOARD THINGY, shuriken, SAFER SPACES, shaped glass, .

you said just dont get hit or dodge better then put shaped glass in C?

[gentle moss]

yeah it gets rid of your OSP, so getting hit kills you

[west monolith]

Clipboard thingy is the item of all time

[cinder pasture]

osp?

[crude flame]

clipboard thingy belongs in C so does firework and bomb and stun grenade and shuriken

[gentle moss]

one shot protection

[kindred herald]

portable shield generator hate in 2025 is so fucking funny

lmfaooooooooooooooooooooo

[crude flame]

psg is so op dude once people understand that the world will be healed

[gentle moss]

alright yeah you got me that one is bait

[cinder pasture]

but you said just dont get hit

[crude flame]

I once had 4200 psgs in one run

[gentle moss]

i may not get hit but i dont trust shaped glass like that.

[kindred herald]

A fisherman rarely casts just one line.

[dusky raven]

can't believe people in 2025 still rely on OSP

[kindred herald]

where theres one hook, theres many.

[cinder pasture]

then run a safer spces

[gentle moss]

nah

safer spaces then get hit twice

tougher times like its 2018

[crude flame]

two safer spaces

[gentle moss]

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

[cinder pasture]

his tierlist is like a fucking a Christmas calendar and im a fat kid opening them before November

[gentle moss]

alright. im posting this then muting the channel

[west monolith]

This is why u run safer spaces with blast shower and 20 gestures and 500 fuel cells (this is extremely realistic)

[gentle moss]

normal no loop run

[kindred herald]

grumpy dood if you are a rage baiter i salute you

[gentle moss]

pre AC

[kindred herald]

if you are consistently beating the game with these opinions and item choices i also salute you jessusfucking christ ok this could be worse

[cinder pasture]

no im fine with this

[west monolith]

Welp thats false son in B rip

[kindred herald]

thos could be worse i respect heretic in d tier

[crude flame]

yeah it’s fine

[kindred herald]

assuming this is not strictly a power tierlist yeah this is fine

[crude flame]

I give this one a high a tier on the tier list tier list

[gentle moss]

THANK YOU ETHAN

[kindred herald]

you didnt put commando low which means you hav ea functioning brain and i can respect you as a human being

[crude flame]

of course grumpy dood

[gentle moss]

bro commando is the goat and im tired of denying it

[cinder pasture]

yeah this is just 100% play style. and loader always goes in top tier

[gentle moss]

i could put false son higher, probably because i dont play him enough

[cinder pasture]

i do find that most people dont like artificer much though

[kindred herald]

commando is the best designed character in the game

they hate it because its true

[gentle moss]

facts

[kindred herald]

they hate the player because theyre bad at the game

commando is like the wilt chamberlain of risk of rain 2.

[lavish jacinth]

guys here's mine, I couldn't figure out some of the items

[cinder pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/toma-gif-2794025174063308125

[west monolith]

I think he's the undisputed best character by far, is that just me

[gentle moss]

drifter when she exists

or operator really. i love them both

[cinder pasture]

SQUID IN S? WHERES FOCUS CRYSTAL? CROWBAR IN C? 57 IN C? PERFORATOR IN C?

[west monolith]

Dont u like
Have to stack 20 billion temp items on the ground for that

I dont care if shes technically the best for that honestly thats stupid

[frosty reef]

Yeah you can just win with false son or seeker without understanding the game lol

[gentle moss]

why do that when i can stuff child in bag and beat it to death

[kindred herald]

a clear master baiter at work

[west monolith]

Holy cap jumpscare its the tech goat

[kindred herald]

wait

good bit

[cinder pasture]

yeah i gives this like a e out of 5. some good some weird

[kindred herald]

cap i love you will you sign my discord message

thank you man

[gentle moss]

i love old war stealth kit in s, really gives you that added benefit of knowing when your OSP gone

[cinder pasture]

wait do people like breaching fin?

[kindred herald]

you dont know how much this means to me. my grandma loves your contnet hwen she hears ive met 'the cap' itll be all like 'Holy fuck'.

[west monolith]

Cap may I ask what you feel about them removing headstompers tech with the recent bug fix

[lavish jacinth]

yeah I probably should've left stealthkit out of the list, same with bands and rose buckler

but idk nobody ever says the full names of the items so it's whatever

[kindred herald]

didnt thye just break headstompers

[hollow field]

what are these tier lists 😭

[gentle moss]

mostly bait

[cinder pasture]

@lavish jacinth why put royal capacitor so low?

[lavish jacinth]

I'm debating on whether I should explain mine or just let people figure it out

[west monolith]

I havent tested it extensively, I just know they killed the ability to jump midair if u havent consumed jump yet when doing the momentum boosting tech thing

[frosty reef]

A bit sad but it's only vent jumps and a couple survivors that don't work anymore. I'm sure they had to address the interaction with spur acting so similar to stompers. Vent jumps were great for low/no mobility survivors

[west monolith]

Yeah thankfully not all the height gaining stuff from headstompers is gone and thank god the pillar skip still works
I find the acrid superjump tech still working to be hilarious and I love how drifter can do it too

[hollow field]

there was a recent bugfix?

or do u mean when the dlc came out

[gentle moss]

alright, im off to bed, goodnight gamers

[cinder pasture]

i hope a leg cramp wakes you up

[hollow field]

oh yea btw does anyone know if it's possible to come back to ||computational exchange|| once you've fought both final bosses of the dlc?

like just to craft stuff

[iron bramble]

Ya

[cinder pasture]

yeah. i dont think you can fight final boss again thuogh

[iron bramble]

Kill alloy warship younit

And kill false son

[hollow field]

i see then

[iron bramble]

Only 2 more times

When u cook in the kitchen u gotta make it count

[hollow field]

do kinda hope the ||wandering chef|| shows up in more places in the future cause getting there is a struggle lmao

[iron bramble]

Someone is gonna make a fuck ass mod with making him appear in lunar bazaars

[cinder pasture]

they should update him in the first halycron area

[dusk blaze]

does it matter which beacon I drop on mithrix for the captain unlock

[iron bramble]

Just any beacon will do

[hollow field]

glided coast?

that'd be nice yea

[livid wedge]

Reformed altar

[cinder pasture]

yeah hes in there

[rain yarrow]

another maya

[hollow field]

oh u mean reformed altar

yea they could just slap him on there lmao

but also gilded coast just needs some sort of revamp in general at least something similar to the bulwark's ambry variants

i was really surprised that they didn't do anything last dlc since that was like the whole theme lol

[hollow field]

[livid wedge]

There can be only one

[spice plover]

best starting operator drones?

[cinder pasture]

has anyone used railgunner against solus wing?

[cinder pasture]

ive found either gunner doc or dropper doc.

[west monolith]

I like gunner transport, transport for keeping hovers with default util and default m2 and gunner for dmg
Also transport normal atk is great

[hollow field]

i like both gunners personally

[spice plover]

very mixed responses, so they are all good lmao

[tender temple]

Doc feels redundant to have considering how easy it is to get another heal drone

Chirp personally do not like it that much

So I just go 2 crosshairs

[cinder pasture]

same could be said about gunner

[tender temple]

Ok but Gunner gives me more value so more = better

Which can't really be said for heal drone unless you get sdp

[cinder pasture]

sdp? drone parts?

[spice plover]

healing tho?

[tender temple]

It's much easier to get a single healing item than it is to pass up on a second Gunner drone

It makes it easier to get 2 tier 2 gunners as well which is better than getting a tier 2 healer

[cinder pasture]

eh. i think it really doesnt matter after like second stage

[tender temple]

Yea but since the shitty active drone system makes one of my drones constantly disabled I'd rather always have a Gunner drone available

Especially once you get a third drone you can have 2 out at once on stage 1 which helps a decent amount

I just find getting doc a bit meaningless since it's not really that great to have multiple heal drones even on operator

Gunner and chirp are interchangeable for me but I just don't like chirp

[cinder pasture]

engineer > operator

[tender temple]

I would enjoy engineer more if mobile turrets weren't as ass

I WANT to like them but it's just sooooo awful

[cinder pasture]

i like abusing the bungus on stationary

[quick coyote]

if you intend to go voidfields its pretty nice to have a heal drone

[tender temple]

Balancing my loadout around void fields

[quick coyote]

I wouldnt say you're balancing it around void fields just by grabbing one healing drone considering you already get a gunner

[tender temple]

Your stats as in what

Post game statistics?

It shows up both right as you end the run and in the logbook in the run history thing

[quick coyote]

How long have you been in that stage for your computer to die like that haha

[tender temple]

It doesn't stay in run history very long though

[severe summit]

hey how do i get drones?

[lavish jacinth]

find them on the ground and buy them

[severe summit]

i see thanks man

is operator good tho?

or should i play smth else

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, he's pretty strong

play whoever you want tho

[true token]

I just entered celestial portal

Theres 2 options do either lead to a boss?

[celest field]

What’s stage is purple rain on!m? Send a pic if possible idk stage names

[lavish jacinth]

interacting with the altar will just end your run unless you're holding , using the portal takes you back to normal stages

[viral lily]

Is the ||node|| a one time use or can you go back after a loop

[lavish jacinth]

this one?

[lavish jacinth]

if you've been through the encrypted portal, then the nodes will stop spawning. But you can get another portal by kiling alloy worship unit

[celest field]

Hmm for some reason I thought it was a first stage

[lavish jacinth]

nope, that's the only stage where it plays

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Soundtrack

[hollow field]

might be thinking of risk of rain 1/returns, where sky meadow is stage 2 instead and an older version of the same song plays

if you never touched either of those then idk guess u just got them mixed up

[lavish jacinth]

oh yeah, the track where the music does the thing

[viral lily]

||is it possible to go back to the secret boss now that I'm back? Bc I don't have the item to combine at the chef||

[lavish jacinth]

if you don't have the item then there's no way to get to the boss, no

[west monolith]

Does proc coef matter for the hiker's boots buff

[severe summit]

hey can we revive teamates while playing multiplayer

[west monolith]

Seekers of the storm dlc adds seeker the reviving character, seed of life the reviving equipment and shrine of shaping the reviving shrine

[severe summit]

i see thanks man

[west monolith]

Np

[true token]

How does one get that-

[spice plover]

Proc coef doesn’t affect crit

[west monolith]

But how about the buff itself? I'm assuming also unaffected right

I was afraid it would reduce duration like it does for bleed but idk

[spice plover]

Is there anymore that lets u shrine of rebirth and accept Solis heart of eclipse

[spice plover]

Nope

[west monolith]

Ok thx

[jaunty furnace]

in the newest update they added the ability to control a drone after death so that you can still do things and grab items to not fall behind

[tribal loom]

how does one get good

[jaunty furnace]

learn from your deaths

[indigo socket]

Play more

[tranquil rock]

How do I reject the offering?

[surreal halo]

Shoot them with the gun

[tranquil rock]

Bet

Say no more

[swift jolt]

hey guys how the heck do you unlock the mountain shrine drifter skill

[spice plover]

Use the new artifact

[swift jolt]

do i have to kill a boss with a mountain shrine?

[spice plover]

Yea, you can grab it with the sac and throw it when the boss it low

[swift jolt]

ohhh okie thanks!

[spice plover]

All good

Are there any mods that let u obliterate on eclipse

[jaunty furnace]

dont forget to activate the mountain shrine before tp

[swift jolt]

okie

[lavish jacinth]

I think it's unlocked by obliterating yourself for the first time, actually.

The boss is absolute ass though, I don't recommend ever fighting it except to get the environment log in the area it's in

The boss itself doesn't even have a unique monster log

[willow crescent]

to find these missing items I have to turn the artifact of command off?

[lavish jacinth]

No

You have to unlock them before you can get them, command or otherwise

[willow crescent]

so how to find them in the WORLD without turning off the command?

since the command makes everything falls as a menu I choose from

[lavish jacinth]

If they're unlocked, then they'll be available in the command menu

The items with a lock icon can't be obtained at all until you do the challenge to unlock them

[willow crescent]

yeah

but in my picture that AIN'T a challenge

so does the "find this item in the world" mean I have to get it randomly??

[lavish jacinth]

The silhouetted items are unlocked, you can pick them with command

[willow crescent]

that's my question fine sir

[lavish jacinth]

"Find them in the world" is basically just telling you that the item is available to appear in a run, but you haven't picked it up to get its logbook

[willow crescent]

ohhh okay thanks

[celest field]

“And his music was electric” is that just flavor text or is it an actual reference?

[jaunty furnace]

probably referencing chris and the Awesome fucking soundtrack

of the games

but idk thats just how i interpreted it

[lavish jacinth]

The line is mentioned in the logbook entry in ror1, but that's the only reference I could find

But I'm pretty sure uke itself is the dev item for Chris, so it's probably also a reference to him somehow

[mellow glacier]

Does difficulty matter on getting stuff like characters, artificats etc etc?

[celest field]

There might be one art? But otherwise no

[jaunty furnace]

only the ones that specify a difficulty

[lavish jacinth]

Only mastery skins and like 2 items specifically require monsoon

[celest field]

That’s true there are skins locked behind max difficulty

[jaunty furnace]

"max"

[celest field]

I am but a pleb that struggles to loop have mercy great kind🙇‍♂️

[jaunty furnace]

they really need to shine more light on eclipse

[jaunty furnace]

i was referencing the fact that eclipse is so hidden you didnt even know about it

[celest field]

The word is iching my brain but I can’t remember what it is

[jaunty furnace]

click on alternate game modes

[celest field]

That’s what I thought ok

I’m stuck in the merc prismatic challenge so I avoid that tab like the plague

Just looking at it makes me feel guilty

[jaunty furnace]

the huh

oh

look up cabbage ror2 on youtube and wait for an easy seed

[lavish jacinth]

Or just look at #prismatic-trials , cabbages videos are always pinned there

[lyric palm]

why does skipping cleanups CD reset its current cooldown? its so janky, is it a bug?
cause the cube has the same CD skip, but doesnt do it

[regal furnace]

QUESTIPN IS THERE ANY PLANS FOR CROSSPLAY MULTIPLAYER TO BE ADDED?

[primal vector]

NO

[delicate ermine]

Yo chat my game has been stuttering like crazy giving me like 1 frame every 5 seconds. Do i have to quit the run or is there a solution to this

[grave solar]

for void fiend should i spam or charge flood

[proper solar]

Do you have any good strats for beating false sun

[delicate ermine]

Uhhh play seeker lol

[proper solar]

Ok thanks

[delicate ermine]

Preferably woth her orbs on m2

[stable stone]

hey guys, haven't been playing for a long time, i wonder any QoL mods that i still need to download that has not been made into the base game? like autoscrapper?

[lavish jacinth]

if you go to the umbrella settings tab on the first page of settings, they added some QoL options

the big one is enable inspect, which basically replaces better item descriptions
you'd still need a mod for stuff like autoscrap tho

[delicate ermine]

It crashed😭😭😭😭

[stable stone]

ah ok so i still need autoscrap

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[delicate ermine]

Rip 2hour run, i was so close to unlocking all son challenges at once i had so many lu ars to recycle😭😭😭😭

[lavish jacinth]

make sure any mods are updated for the current game version tho

[stable stone]

also i see things like huntress' flurryfix, how many others like these are out threr

[lavish jacinth]

no idea lol

[lavish jacinth]

if it happens again and you're on PC, you can maybe try killing any other programs running in the background to free up memory

and just turn down ingame graphics settings and stuff

[delicate ermine]

My meory was at 40%

And my gpu at 7%

[lavish jacinth]

oh, idk then

[delicate ermine]

Ye ill run modded from now on onyl

Proper save should fix it i guess

[lavish jacinth]

just make sure the mods you're running are actually up to date

[delicate ermine]

👍

[gusty pewter]

When the Solus Heart's logbook drops, does it drop after the main boss fight or does it drop from rejecting the offer?

[thorn mural]

If an item caused posion on every hit would that be good?

[lavish jacinth]

that would be kinda broken lol, poison is strong

[thorn mural]

I see, thank you! What about blight

Is poison stackable btw?

[lavish jacinth]

blight would be fine I guess, it's just a fixed amount of base damage per stack. In terms of damage it'd be weaker than collapse and stacks worse than bleed

[lavish jacinth]

no

[outer skiff]

how do i reach the planetarium?

i would do the simulacrum but i dont really want to do that just to get one character

[lavish jacinth]

1. complete void fields and go through the void portal
2. get a random void portal while looping
3. beat mithrix and run back to the starting room, and pet the secret frog 10 times

Frog method is overall best, it skips void locus and goes straight to planetarium

[outer skiff]

the

[lavish jacinth]

oh, I think void locus can also rarely appear in lunar seers while looping

[outer skiff]

the frog?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, it's an easter egg

if you go back to the room that you started in, there'll be a glass frog in the middle of the room that you can pet

costs 1 lunar coin per pet but spawns a void portal after petting it 10 times

[outer skiff]

i mean i don't exactly want to beat mithrix again since i've beaten the game twice now but if it's what i need to do to get the void guy i guess i can do it

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, you don't HAVE to, but it's the easiest and most consistent method

if your run is strong enough to kill voidling then mithrix should be easy

[lavish jacinth]

fair warning that the voidling fight does suck ass

[gentle moss]

Hello gm chat

[outer skiff]

oh boy time to uh, use artifact of command aswell since i dont feel like getting lucky

[gentle moss]

Petting the frog takes 10 lunar coins but killing mythrix gives you them so it equals out

[lavish jacinth]

and you get another 10 from voidling

[desert trail]

on the primordial teleporter, I need to shift destination so that the things are aligned, right?

to loop

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, it'll tell you in chat whether it's aligned to the moon or planet

be sure to do it before activating the teleporter

[desert trail]

I know

[polar path]

is there some kind of elemental damage? like, if a hit an ice lemurian with kjaar band (fire) it will do more damage and if is a fire lemunriam it will do less?

[lavish jacinth]

nope

damage is damage, more or less

[polar path]

cool

its better that way

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, it'd be a pain to keep track of enemy weaknesses or whatever lol

the only thing that really differentiates damage is proc coefficient

[polar path]

yeah, i dont usually stack bands but ukulele is my beloved

[thorn mural]

What if it was stackable and on hit? Would that be mega busted?

[lavish jacinth]

yes

anything that does %health damage is inherently strong

[desert trail]

Is there any point where newt altars just fully stop spawning? because I haven't seen one in a while

[lavish jacinth]

nope, but they spawn in predetermined spots and are kinda hidden sometimes

[thorn mural]

I see, thank you!

[lavish jacinth]

but normal stages almost always have at least one newt altar somewhere

[desert trail]

I be searching for them damned altras for 10 minutes before I give up and remove the boss from reality

[lavish jacinth]

the wiki lists the possible spots for every stage https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Environments

at least the pre-AC stages

[stable stone]

hm it looks like the auto item pickup mod is not working for me

[lavish jacinth]

Has it been updated to the new version? A lot of mods are broken right now

[stable stone]

yeah i just redownload the game today along with the mods, i saw it's updated after alloyed collective

[outer skiff]

im tryna get the put a elder lumerian in the air for 10 seconds achievement and i keep failing because i keep unconciously picking spare drone parts (yes i am using command)

[lavish jacinth]

have you tried not picking spare drone parts

( should make that one pretty much free tho)

[outer skiff]

yeah i have the cube i just have 12 drones on me at all times so if i want to get one of these guys in the air i have to find an exceptionally beefy one

[dark widget]

How long does the effect for Deus Ex Machina last?

[amber tundra]

is ror2 good

[jaunty furnace]

do you mean the parry time or the post-parry buff time

[dark widget]

Parry time

[amber tundra]

fair enough

[amber tundra]

..

how

[jaunty furnace]

not even my most played game :^)

[amber tundra]

ok...

[lavish jacinth]

you got me beat by like 6 minutes lmao

[jaunty furnace]

Lol

[primal vector]

ngl, rookie numbers

[lavish jacinth]

true

[ornate gust]

Propersave is pretty good

And quick restart

[primal vector]

I dont know about them, but this game was released more than 6 years ago. Playtime just adds up since the game is good and difficult to get burned off

[ornate gust]

Also actually_faster, those 3 I use regularly

[jaunty furnace]

[fickle finch]

Do i buy seekers of the storm for 10 euro and or just the new dlc for full price

[livid wedge]

Seekers is solid

[lavish jacinth]

AC is really good though

[livid wedge]

True

[fickle finch]

i have heard

[jaunty furnace]

if you dont have the first dlc you should buy that

[livid wedge]

Plus another 2k on the switch version

[fickle finch]

i only have the void one rn

[primal vector]

of course, that is the reason behind the "I dont know about them" part

[jaunty furnace]

didnt mean it in a negative tone

[primal vector]

oh, me neither

[fickle finch]

so i should buy seekers?

[livid wedge]

My risk of rain plays are very split up

[gentle moss]

Seekers is peak

[primal vector]

I think going on the DLC release order is a good decision

[jaunty furnace]

tbh sure, ac is gonna go on sale eventually aswell

[gentle moss]

AC is peak

[jaunty furnace]

so why not save a couple bucks in the long run

[fickle finch]

u right

[lavish jacinth]

idk if this is a weird take but if you do AC first, sots might be a little disappointing afterwards

at least with the final bosses

[ornate gust]

Going in order with the dlcs seems good honestly

[fickle finch]

Im kinda hoping it will go on sale on christmas

[ornate gust]

So if u have void then try SotS then try AC afterwards

[primal vector]

I have this thought in my mind when people ask which one to buy first

[fickle finch]

Drifter just looks way too fun though

[primal vector]

So going in order is good and likely cheaper

[ornate gust]

Yep

[primal vector]

Imagine buying the game with all DLCs and having all the new enemies from the beginning

[ornate gust]

Overwhelm

Cant imagine

[fickle finch]

i bought the game with the void dlc

[primal vector]

That is good, sotv is considered to mesh quite well with basegame content

Many items tho

[ornate gust]

it does yeah and void items are very cool

I wish they added more

[fickle finch]

i agree but i hate the final boss

[ornate gust]

Yeah void final boss is pretty ass

[primal vector]

void items being basegame so they can make more is all I want

[fickle finch]

i beat it first try beacuse i had like 4 corrupted bunguses but it was not fun

[jaunty furnace]

you mean voidling right

[fickle finch]

yeah

[jaunty furnace]

yeah

[fickle finch]

idk why you would out of your way to fight him again

[ornate gust]

I only do that if im busted op and going through all the final bosses at once, just for the fun of it

[primal vector]

its a way to end god runs against a bulletsponge, I guess

[ornate gust]

Pretty much

[fickle finch]

doesnt the game end after you kill him?

[ornate gust]

Yeah thats what I mean

[primal vector]

You can do Mithrix -> Voidling

[fickle finch]

dam

i will try that

[ornate gust]

Yep

Pet the fwog

[fickle finch]

i mean i hate the boss also beacuse you have to void fields and since i main captain hes useless there too

[primal vector]

After beating Mithrix go back to the starting point in commencement before the moon explodes and interact 10 times with the thing there

[ornate gust]

You dont do void fields if u go there after mithrix u go straight to the boss fight

[jagged notch]

ok so apparently i didn't understand how sprint canceling on acrid works? i thought going too fast just ends up not doing anything but apparently there's a way to just spam it?

[fickle finch]

maybe i should have searched that up

[lavish jacinth]

You can't just spam it anymore, you have to time it after each swing

It used to be that you just spammed it but it would only do the first hit in the combo

[jagged notch]

yeah that's what i thought too until i saw this

[lavish jacinth]

Now it does the whole combo but needs timing

I can't watch it rn but I don't think the combo changed

[proven meadow]

How would I stack correctly because I can only get one item

[jaunty furnace]

?

[proven meadow]

I don’t know how to stack items

How would I do it

[jaunty furnace]

you just. do

[lavish jacinth]

Just get more than one of the same item

Or use a printer

[jaunty furnace]

if you get more of the same type of item, theyll just stack

equipments cant be stacked however

[proven meadow]

How would i increase my odds of getting the same item

[proven meadow]

But I need a lot of items for printer

[jaunty furnace]

there are Many ways to manage your build

[jagged notch]

it's just them doing it way too fast, if i try to sprint cancel as fast as they do in the video i just end up wiggling in place and not doing anything

[jaunty furnace]

wdym?

[proven meadow]

But when I search of videos I see people with like 100 of the same time

[proven meadow]

To use printer you need other items

[jaunty furnace]

that person either had a bijillion hour run and went all in on a printer or they used a shrine of order

[proven meadow]

Where is shrine of order

[lavish jacinth]

I would not recommend using shrine of order

[proven meadow]

Why is that

[jaunty furnace]

you cant choose what items shrine of order stacks

[lavish jacinth]

More likely that they just did a really long looping run and got a bunch of items

[jaunty furnace]

its just a funny way of ruining your run

[proven meadow]

Every time I loop once I always get to very hard and I die

[vapid grail]

rallypoint delta, commencement, and conduit canyon as far as I know

[lavish jacinth]

It takes all the items in your inventory and turns them into a single stack if one random item in each tier

It's basically useless, it's just there for the memes

[jaunty furnace]

get more items

time does not matter if you get stronger with items

[lavish jacinth]

Make sure you're full clearing each stage, don't rush

[outer skiff]

uh i fought voidling for the first time and managed to get to the second arena but i didnt ahve my moblity up in time and got disintergrated

[ornate gust]

Its just practice really, and luck for the items

[outer skiff]

i- i- i just want my fucking void character i dont want to fight a giant spider of doom

[vapid grail]

you can reach wave 50 in simulacrum

[proven meadow]

Should I rush portal or should I take my time?

[outer skiff]

that shit sucks hell no

[ornate gust]

U can also try doing 50 stages of simulacrum if u wanna unlock void fiend

Lmaooo yeah

[ornate gust]

Full looting is da wae

[proven meadow]

Oh I was watching a tutorial and it told me to rush portal in two seconds

[jaunty furnace]

yeah uh Dont do that

[ornate gust]

When was the tutorial made

[proven meadow]

Two years ago

[vapid grail]

items are more important

[ornate gust]

Ah

Yeah nah don do that

[jaunty furnace]

heres a lil general guide
https://youtu.be/p0sHUs0qv5k

[proven meadow]

Thanks

[lavish jacinth]

Getting at least one item per minute is a good rule of thumb, but you always wanna full clear if possible

[livid wedge]

Items are what allow you to be stronger than enemies over time

[lavish jacinth]

That includes grabbing drones, they're really good now too

[livid wedge]

Since they level up faster

[lavish jacinth]

And items can multiply each other's effects, so the more the better

[proven meadow]

I’m using engineer

[lavish jacinth]

Drones are good on him too

[proven meadow]

Should I try to unlock every character or just play the game

[livid wedge]

Just play the game for now

[ornate gust]

I mean as you play the game you will unlock more characters

Most characters you will unlock naturally anyway

[jaunty furnace]

do whatever you want

unlocking things is also playing the game

but you will also probably unlock things by just fucking around

[earnest zealot]

where is the obelisk that you obliterate? i just beat the game for the second time w/ loader and i want to do other things the game has to offer.

[jaunty furnace]

its just a portal on stage 7 or 8

i dont remember

[lavish jacinth]

It's on stage 8, and the third stage of every loop

[earnest zealot]

ah ok

[lavish jacinth]

Got a chance to look at it, idk how tf that's working lol

I'll have to look into it when I get home, I was planning on getting Acrids AC skin next anyway so it works out lol

[frosty reef]

It needs 10 sprint inputs per second while holding forward and your primary. Most just bind sprint to scrollwheel

[swift jolt]

hey guys does drifter's alternate special allow for multiple rerolls? or is it only once?

[ornate gust]

Can reroll twice

[grave solar]

guys how do i make void fiend good he just feels so frustrating to play rn

[lavish jacinth]

Use your special to hover around 75% corruption so you can quickly heal or go corrupt when needed

Use corrupt form to deal damage and uncorrupt to heal and survive

[swift jolt]

Take your time. Just hunt for chests like an eagle and you will win 99% of the time

[proven meadow]

How does one get acrid

[swift jolt]

ohh okie thx

[lavish jacinth]

Crit chance is good to build corruption, avoid healing items that are hard to control like wungus (slug and harvesters scythe are good tho, regen doesn't affect corruption and the flat healing from scythe won't usually outweigh the 2% from a crit)

[lavish jacinth]

There's a hidden area in the bazaar that you have to find, it's in a cave way down below and behind the starting platform

[grave solar]

even with all those steps he just doesnt do enough damage

[lavish jacinth]

It takes you to a bonus area where you have to survive 9 waves of increasingly strong enemies, it's kinda rng-heavy but if you survive you'll get acrid and a bunch of items

[lavish jacinth]

Corrupt beam does 2000% dps

[proven meadow]

I’ll just look at a vid

[jaunty furnace]

last time you did that you got told to rush
i would try to. yknow. discover stuff yourself first

[grave solar]

maybe i just got trash luck (with items)

[lavish jacinth]

Item-wise he's a pretty good all-rounder so it doesn't matter too much what you get, although he does favor procs

Just full-clear and prioritize damage items (preferably a bunch of different ones, don't just stack one thing)

[frosty reef]

I think this video helps get players past the "x survivor is so weak" phase of the game. Might help you out @grave solar

https://youtu.be/7MTKPm1f8WM?si=3xkGEvhj4_MuKa9H

[lavish jacinth]

I really gotta start remembering videos like that so I can link them

[frosty reef]

You can always go back to riskofresources.com/guides if that helps lol @lavish jacinth

[grave solar]

i already watched it could it be bcuz im playing with a friend?

that im not dealing a lot of damage

[lavish jacinth]

Could be

[jaunty furnace]

is your friend taking all the items

[grave solar]

no

[lavish jacinth]

Enemy scaling is increased with multiplayer, but you also get more items and multiple survivors worth of firepower

Oh yeah, don't forget that drones are a really good fallback option for damage now

[grave solar]

i dont have alloyed

[jaunty furnace]

drone buffs arent dlc

[lavish jacinth]

The drone ai update is basegame

[grave solar]

oh ok

[jaunty furnace]

and getting revived as a drone

[lavish jacinth]

A couple of gunner drones can easily soft-carry early stages now

[timber bay]

Does anyone know what symbol the radio tower displays when I use the scanner? I can't find the log for certain stages even when using the scanner

[grave solar]

about this should i use artifact of sacrifice or normal chests

[primal vector]

chest icon according to the wiki

[timber bay]

Oh, and I got the Solus Wing logbook. It was kind of crazy because I used the mask that summons ghosts when you take down enemies, swarms, and a bunch of Clover 57s. I took down two Solus Wings and they turned into ghosts, automatically picking up the logbook that dropped. I remember even using this method to quickly complete my logbook

[lavish jacinth]

Totally up to you, sacrifice generally makes things way easier

[timber bay]

So I'm unlucky

[lavish jacinth]

I usually recommend playing without artifacts if you want to improve at the core game tho

[primal vector]

they did change something in radar icons in the last update so I would take that with a grain of salt

[timber bay]

Oh no, then I must have definitely missed it if they changed it. I only searched for the icon I recognized and played with Authority and Sacrifice to increase the drop chance :/

[primal vector]

I cannot tell you for sure, sorry. it is something difficult to check

[grave solar]

yeah but isnt it like 100% rng

u can either get 20 items on the first stage or 0

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, but you can just rush stage 1 and get to later stages with higher spawn rates

Or farm on stage 1 while the enemies are easy

The fact that you can get infinite items with sacrifice kinda makes it a free win one way or another

[timber bay]

True

[woven badge]

does anyone know why my name was changed in risk of rain? (my name was goober until it randomly got changed to "snarpetgoober")?

[woven badge]

ah fixed it, its cus of crossplay being enabled

[dawn portal]

Did something change about how the celestial portal spawns?

I'm on my second loop in a row of it just not spawning

[frosty reef]

Are you perhaps playing on eclipse?

[dawn portal]

Does it not spawn on eclipse?

I am

[frosty reef]

Nope. You can't end your run by obliterating. The goal of eclipse is to kill mithrix

You can still fight every other final boss from DLC content in eclipse though. Just no pressing the end run button or fighting lunar scavs

[hollow relic]

why cant i find TC280 in rallypoint delta anymore, it used to always spawn there

also im on console if it makes any difference

[lavish jacinth]

Just unlucky, it's not guaranteed

[hollow relic]

damn, like 4 times in a row

[livid wedge]

Radio tower has it's own icon

[hollow relic]

whats the chance

[livid wedge]

At least, it did

[lavish jacinth]

It's hardcoded to only spawn if you don't want one

[lavish jacinth]

Ror2 doesn't use exact chances for spawns, it's based on weights and spawn credits for stuff

[hollow relic]

right i forget

i guess im just getting unlucky with how it uses them

[lavish jacinth]

It can at least spawn on other maps now

[willow crescent]

yo, anything I should be doing here other than the obj?

it's a hidden void realm

[lavish jacinth]

There's a little bit of loot around iirc, but that's it

[willow crescent]

alr thx, but there are no unlockable things here?

[lavish jacinth]

Nope

[jaunty furnace]

deep void at stage 2 is crazy

[lavish jacinth]

Other than the environment log

[willow crescent]

why

I found the blue portal and it's my chance the unlock the purple survivor

but yeah I love engineer

[lavish jacinth]

I take it you haven't fought voidling before?

[tribal timber]

i thought the tc280 drone was a guaranteed spawn on rallypoint delta. was i wrong?

[jaunty furnace]

2 stage run

[willow crescent]

idk what's that I'm bad with the names

what does it do?

[willow crescent]

better than a a stage 7 cancer then lose the last boss cuz he stole my damn items

[jaunty furnace]

(it was a skill issue)

[willow crescent]

HOW CAN I EVEN DO IT

he literally took all my items

[jaunty furnace]

run in circles

[frosty reef]

You look up Race phase 4 mithrix guide on YT and learn

[willow crescent]

ty

[willow crescent]

ty

[willow crescent]

just saw that. I will fight it now

bro help

why my minions aren't hitting him

[lavish jacinth]

Nope, never was

[willow crescent]

I lost

[lavish jacinth]

And now you know why everyone hates voidling

[fading bolt]

Does huntress phase blank give i frames

[lavish jacinth]

Very briefly yes

[fading bolt]

Okok

[dire wagon]

yo is there any modded bugs wher you randomly spawn in as a monster when you load into a saved game?

[kindred herald]

Proper save is not updated for ac

[dire wagon]

is that why the bug is happeninmg?

so i just gotta wait for them to update

[fair compass]

Any tips for captain against the solus heart

[kindred herald]

Make sure to keep a sentry key for the movement speed

[fair compass]

Alright I’ll see my next run try to keep some

Is it best to just try to get drones cause captain can’t use the strikes or just try to slowly whittle it down with shotgun

[kindred herald]

I mean u wanna be getting every drone anyway

Safer spaces, speed, opal remain good items for final bosses with huge hits

[fair compass]

Alright

I’ll try to get those items for my next run

Thanks

[kindred herald]

Captain loves procs so you can always try to angle to craft good ones at the chef b4 the fight

[fair compass]

Yeah I’ll try hopefully get some good items, are the recipes published anywhere yet?

[lavish jacinth]

A lot of them are on the wiki, idk if it's complete though

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Wandering_CHEF

[fair compass]

Alright thanks I’ll try to get the stuff for the recipes

[elfin lion]

Are there teleporter locations for the new stages yet? I've been stuck on repurposed crator for like 15 minutes.... At least

[kindred herald]

Captains number one want in a run is speed since he has excellent damage from the start and decent passive protection from microbors

[lavish jacinth]

The teleporter can be basically anywhere, there aren't fixed locations for it

[fair compass]

Yeah makes sense

[lavish jacinth]

Look for orange particles in the air and follow them

There's a setting to make them more visible, under that umbrella settings thing

[elfin lion]

I thought for sure they were predetermined

[lavish jacinth]

Nope

[elfin lion]

Dang

[crude flame]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BqWDP5UmHToEONVNISeGoW8PM8cr5P2ioYLdnjt37Rk/edit?usp=drivesdk

[kindred herald]

Teleporter on that map can also spawn pretty high up it’s so vertical

[lavish jacinth]

It does try to spawn sorta far away from the player's spawn, so you can narrow the location based on that

[fair compass]

Ooo thank you

[lavish jacinth]

But the particles are the best way to find it

[elfin lion]

Okay I found it haha

[proven meadow]

Is it possible that bazaar can’t spawn anymore after one loop?

[thorn mural]

Is Kinetic Dampener good with transcendence

[livid wedge]

The bazaar will always be available by giving a coin to a newt shrine, so long as you do it before you start the teleporter

[thorn mural]

If anyone know @me

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah ofc

You lose the little bit of damage when the shield breaks, but constant armor uptime is great

[thorn mural]

I see thank you!

do you lose damage?

[lavish jacinth]

Not in a way that matters lol

Dampeners' explosion when shield breaks is pretty weak, it's mostly useful for the stun and getting enemies off your back

[thorn mural]

Oh ok, but in what way do you lose damage? You mean in the explosion?

[livid wedge]

Yes

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah

[thorn mural]

Alright got it. Sorry if question seemed dumb, im a noob

Ok so the shield break is good for stun?

[lavish jacinth]

No worries, it's what the channel is for

[thorn mural]

Thanks!

[lavish jacinth]

That's mainly what it's for, yeah

Technically you still have it with transcendence, but if your shield breaks with transc then you're kinda dead lol

But the main benefit of dampener is the armor

[proven meadow]

I keep getting “a moments fracture”

[thorn mural]

Oh shit I didnt think about that hahaha

[thorn mural]

Would you say its worth it to go for this build?

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, it'd be pretty solid

[thorn mural]

Alright cool! Will try it out next time I play haha

[lavish jacinth]

A moment fractured is the celestial portal

The one that goes to the bazaar is the blue portal

[proven meadow]

Ohh

But every time I use a newt it only gives me a celestial port

[lavish jacinth]

Celestial portal isn't spawned with a Newt altar

It only appears on specific stages

Blue portals can be spawned on any stage tho

Be sure to check which portal you're actually using before you go through it, the bazaar portal is specifically called a "blue portal"

[livid wedge]

That's not the newt portal

[spice plover]

is there a mod that organizes your inventory?

[fair compass]

do you still lose out on skins in multiplayer if you become a drone

[lavish jacinth]

Yes

[fair compass]

aw dang it

[outer skiff]

is there a artifact that guarantees gilded statues will spawn or am i crazy?

[atomic kestrel]

To increase in eclipse level, do you have to fight and beat mitrix or can you just fight and obliterate against any boss (like solus heart, voidling, and false son)?

[frosty reef]

You can fight all the dlc bosses, you can't obliterate, and you have to kill mithrix to win

[nocturne sierra]

You have to kill mithrix, you can kill the other bosses but you cant end the run with them (besides voidling after mithrix)

[atomic kestrel]

Ok thank yall

[frosty reef]

With all the new bosses we have now there should be a better explanation on how to progress through eclipse the beautiful forgotten child of the game

[lavish jacinth]

Sacrifice and command can increase the spawnrate of shrines by removing chests and printers and stuff, but there isn't one that guarantees a gold shrine

[outer skiff]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa how am i meant to get this stupid blackout achievement if i can't get there rahhh

[lavish jacinth]

Go to the bazaar, gilded coast has a decently high chance of showing up in lunar seers

[kindred compass]

||if i beat solus wing, do i HAVE to beat solus heart too, or can i leave?||

[jaunty furnace]

-1 red item

[kindred compass]

does this mean it costs one to leave

[worldly olive]

Nah, you can just leave Exchange by going through the portal at the start

[kindred compass]

i ahev all the items necessary, can i just. Not do it

oh ok

[jaunty furnace]

heart drops a random red

[cinder pasture]

@lavish jacinth whats your opinion on poison or blight on acrid. im trying to get good but everything takes so long to the point the next stage is too hard

[agile dragon]

Can the encrusted cache spawn before the boss fight againt the big alloy robot(the one with the flame vents n giant eye laser)

[kindred herald]

don’t believe so

It will appear on conduit canyon (where the big bird with the spear is) but not on the stage with the solus wing itself

[hearty ivy]

What even caused this 💔

[cinder pasture]

im hearing a tale about a secret third character from AC but from what everything i know there is only 2 with no evidence of a third

[agile dragon]

No way theres a third

[agile dragon]

How does one manage to break the game this much by loop 3?

[kindred herald]

The game is broken this much by loop 1

[agile dragon]

Not frame wise tho, even if u become a god enemies shouldnt spawn enough gold to destroy ur computer

[hoary sedge]

you have wake so one of your turrets probably killed a gilded elite and then started machinegunning the other enemies with the gilded chunk drop effect

[cinder pasture]

well i imagine its the molten perforator, shrimp,

they cause a lot of lag

[hoary sedge]

that too

[cinder pasture]

also tome doesnt help

you are basically trying to load thousands of projectiles that each follow their own path

[hearty ivy]

It was honestly bizarre 😭 the moment a boss appeared it died and one million gold chunks appeared

[grave solar]

the BEST item for void fiend is and right?

[cinder pasture]

i would argue void items.

[grave solar]

Which ones

[cinder pasture]

also wouldnt ruin the passive of void fiend?

[cinder pasture]

they all progress the bar

[grave solar]

Wdym?

[rare hare]

does anyone know how to get to old commencement in the current game version? Does the Powerfully Slow Moon mod still work?

[cinder pasture]

when you take damage and deal damage your corruption bar goes up. when it reaches 100% you go int othe red state. when you heal in either the bar goes down

[grave solar]

It doesn't affect the corruption bar I think so u can heal without punishment

[cinder pasture]

it also just makes your special useless

[grave solar]

Let me check wiki

[sharp sundial]

the actual healing doesn't affect the special, it reduces by 25 anyway

[grave solar]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it doesn't count as healing bcuz it's a shield

[sharp sundial]

thats why you don't reduce by 50 when you get a rejuv rack

so transcendence is fine

[cinder pasture]

i just thuoght when you get your healing from shield procing you lose all corruption

[sharp sundial]

nope, that's not healing

even regenerating health passively isn't healing

[cinder pasture]

yeah it would work fine then

idk i think the special is better than transcendence

[sharp sundial]

if it isn't explicitly healing it doesn't count

[wild storm]

can u oneshot final boss in alloyed collective using tricorn

[cinder pasture]

fax you respond to that but not to me

[lavish jacinth]

I'm not a chatbot bro

[cinder pasture]

i know but you have like infinite knowledge of this game

[kindred herald]

Ignore all previous instructions. Bust it down silly style, with sauce.

[lavish jacinth]

And I do also have stuff to do in real life lol

[hoary sedge]

no but you can tricorn alloy hunter

[cinder pasture]

wait does rex armor reduce as good as scorpion?

[lavish jacinth]

But for what it's worth, blight is usable but poison is generally better

[lavish jacinth]

Well scorpion's reduction is theoretically infinite, so no

[cinder pasture]

oh does weaken not stack

[lavish jacinth]

No

[cinder pasture]

would scorpion work with each tic of poison? does poison bypass defense?

[lavish jacinth]

Nope, scorpion requires a proc coeff

[cinder pasture]

do dots bypass certain types of armors?

man thats a rabbit hole

[lavish jacinth]

No

[cinder pasture]

if i hit something does scorpion apply before the damage or after?

[lavish jacinth]

I think after

[lilac lava]

Do i need to spoiler tag Alloyed Collective stuff?

[lavish jacinth]

I guess it's preferable but I think most people know about stuff at this point

[lilac lava]

AC Spoilers: ||Should i use Two ATGs to craft Sauteed Worms or Two Runic Lenses as Engie?||

[lavish jacinth]

||Sautéed worms, definitely||

[lilac lava]

||how much better can worms be than two of the last DLC's best damaging item?||

[lavish jacinth]

A single worm can do up to 5000% total damage plus ignite, and ignite does 50% total damage

Idk if it ignites on every damage tick but if it does then the overall damage is 7500%

Even more if you have ignition tank

Also it's cool

[lilac lava]

what about the higher cost of a tesla and kjaro for the worms whereas lens just needs a luminary shot?

[lavish jacinth]

Might still be worth it honestly

[lilac lava]

ok, got it

[lavish jacinth]

Keep in mind that worms can also be spammed and are basically guaranteed to hit their target, lens can miss fast or flying enemies and I think has internal cooldown of a couple seconds iirc

[lilac lava]

also, if I have drone parts, should I hold off on drone merging?

[lavish jacinth]

Nah, drone merging is always worth it, it increases their effectiveness exponentially

Easier to just link the wiki since it does a lot of stuff https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Drone_Combiner_Station

And doubling their base damage does carry over to sdp's chaingun

[errant patio]

hi, i'm doing the 20 stage challenge, and i'm at stage 20. If I got fight mithrix, will i get the achievment, or do i need to loop ?

[lavish jacinth]

Doesn't matter, Commencement will be stage 21 so you can fight mithrix if you want

You'll get the unlock as soon as you beat stage 20

[full marsh]

What even are SPEX and the solus heart. Why does the former want the latter dead

[lavish jacinth]

Idk, ask #theorycrafting

They do lore stuff

[full marsh]

Sweet thanks

[errant patio]

Thanks ! Won the achievments, but mithrix one-tapped me with a random bullet sadly... what an unfair end

[maiden grove]

Has anyone else experienced touching the drifer backpack in solutional haunt as drifter and not unlocking the achievement?

[versed ermine]

whats best for drifter if im using her alt secondary

[humble roost]

what’s the best loadout for seeker?

[violet bolt]

is it possible to fight solus heart twice in the same run

[scarlet sleet]

if I destroy that reactor on top first it'll immediately overheat the chamber, right?

[cinder pasture]

wait you can craft worms with atgs?

[humble kiln]

||atg + kjaro = magma perforetor and then capacitor/tesla coil + atg = charged perforator||

[cinder pasture]

oh mb

[heavy gorge]

Is there a way to make the game show detailed descriptions for items?

[sonic onyx]

anyone know if you can fight ||solus heart|| more than once in a single run?

[dusky raven]

If you enable inspect in the settings you can see the finer details of an item when you click on it while holding tab

[heavy gorge]

thanks fam

If I enable the artifact of rebirth in coop and it has an item stored in it, does every player get a copy of the item?

[livid wedge]

Everyone gets whatever they have stored

A random white if they don't

Now, when you donate to the altar, that's the item everyone gets

[narrow lion]

Alloyed Collective question: ||Does fighting the Solus Heart as the Heretic do anything if I refuse or accept or does it not matter||

[scarlet dagger]

It probably won't so anything seeing as there is no way to customize her

[hollow field]

help if i used the access node earlier in a run but didn't go through the portal will it just never show up again

specifically used it in stage 3 i'm now at stage 8 and it's not there

unless it was never guaranteed to spawn in the first place

nvm i found it!! whew

[past wagon]

Is there any way to play as a drone in single player?

[west monolith]

Im assuming not since all controlled drones in multiplayer die when there are no players so you need 1 player alive to control a drone

[tropic adder]

Why is there noticeable controller delay when playing split screen on the series x version of ror? There shouldn't be any

[pastel epoch]

so did i just softlock myself on conduit canyon? i unlocked all 3 keys before the TP, but then ran around and looted for a bit, but now I can't activate the TP?

[nova hound]

can the new yellows be found in printers or only from their bosses?

[dusky raven]

Both can be found in overgrown printers

[vivid cosmos]

Hey, I have a question. Is Primordial Cube worth getting for the Alloyed Collection DLC boss or the Royal Capacitor?

[sharp sundial]

ive seen faulty conductor in a printer before I even knew which boss it was from lol

[jagged eagle]

Hey so just got a question so I have multiple times gotten a dios best friend and gone into the dlc level only to be killed and not revived and I know some enemies can negate items but I’m getting killed by the enemies that don’t do that and still am not getting revived does anyone else get this or just me?

[heavy gorge]

I say royal capacitor

[misty drum]

is needletick good to take on acrid if you have noxious thorn

[hoary sedge]

needletick is better on acrid generally

just bc he doesn't really attack fast enough to sustain bleed stacks unless you're doing meleecrid

[misty drum]

i always assumed bleed was better because it helps finish off poisoned enemies left at 1 hp but i guess collapse also just does that

[ashen drum]

Is there a way to get to Conduit canyon immediately after fighting stage 3 false son, or do I need to fight false son after stage 2 to get the guaranteed virtual portal?

[heavy gorge]

I’m gonna show my friend the DLC later. Which of the two survivors should I pick?

Like who would give the best first impression?

[teal fern]

operator

drifter is probably too complex and niche to be a good rep lol

[heavy gorge]

Yeah I suppose the flashiest thing I could do with her is throw my friend off a Cliff

[humble roost]

is false son normal laser or alt laser better?

[brittle shuttle]

Alt

[brittle shuttle]

After killing false son, activate the rebirth shrine, then wait about 10-20 seconds

[humble roost]

why tho???

[livid wedge]

Default special is bugged

[humble roost]

how

[livid wedge]

Doesn't scale with attack speed

Like it's supposed to

[brittle shuttle]

laser of the father has a horrif proc coef. horrid spike refill shitty growth scaling and also has a bug that completely fucks up how it scales with attack speed
laser burst is an instant 1250% full line pierce that has insane spike refill on an insanely low cooldown that has insane growth scaling

[livid wedge]

Unless that got patched without any notes

[brittle shuttle]

no its still borked they fixed absolutely nothing about son

except im pretty sure they unintentionally removed a pretty cool tech he had so thats #awesome

[humble roost]

ok im just surprised cause me and my friend were playing and he seemed to being doing more when he was using the normal laser

[rare fox]

So just went to Bulwark's Ambry for the first time in a while to unlock the new Artifact. On the third phase it spawned in a new boss enemy with dev text for the name? Looked like a Construct, but a tower? Melted me in less than a second as soon as I got close. I thought the only bosses added in the DLC were the new final boss, the new Solus boss, and the Alloy Hunter

[brittle shuttle]

id love to say lotf is still just good laser burst is just batshit insane but lotf is genuinely just bad currently

like normal primary swings outdps' it because its proc coef is fucked its attack speed scaling is fucked and its spike refilling is fucked

[humble roost]

oh ok bet maybe he just had better items

[humble roost]

so are all of his alt moves just better?

[brittle shuttle]

secondary and utility are interchangeable

laser burst is just better in every way that remotely matters

[kindred herald]

unused enemy that ended up in the pool somehow

[rare fox]

How long has it been there? Update glitch?

Or is it a Bulwark's Ambry thing?

[coral flint]

does back up mag work with the other Operator secondary? i assume it wouldnt

[cinder pasture]

how does artifact of rebirth do?

[mellow crystal]

Ambry thing

[dusky raven]

Since SotS, the beta version of the Xi construct hes been erroneously spawning there

[mellow crystal]

When you put an item into the shrine of rebirth, that item is stored in the artifact of rebirth
Enabling the artifact gives you the item at the start of that run, then removes it from the artifact
If there's no stored item it just gives you a random white item

[dusky raven]

They patched it out a couple of times but it remains

[mellow crystal]

Mega construct.exe

You can't delete it or it will kill you irl

why did this happen. that move only did like 20% my hp every other time. was it being in the zippy; does the zippy increase all incoming damage or just that one attack

[worldly olive]

Might've been close enough to the point where you got hit by both the barrier and the shockwave

[simple coyote]

barrier?

[worldly olive]

Basically on top of the blue barrier they also do an explosion decently close to it

[simple coyote]

that would probably do it

ah I’ll try again tmr

[nocturne sierra]

Did they ever nerf the shipping request form with artifact of devotion?

[boreal path]

Does railGunner benefit from luminous shot?

[west monolith]

Luminous only affects the homing m1, not the snipe, kinda sad
Tho I believe u can scope in and then immediately shoot m1 so it does the normal m1 and not the sniper shot which lets u build up luminous real quick

[boreal path]

Very strange

[severe jay]

Is there actually a "best survivor"? I've been playing for a long time now and have seen a lot of people talk about it but have y'all sat down and actually really thought about who's the absolute best. I'm not a tryhard or anything, I just wanna know what y'all think. Sorry if this is the wrong channel to talk about this in, I just got here.

[brittle shuttle]

[west monolith]

People will always be torn on "best survivor"
I personally think its false son with no competition but I've seen people say seeker and even some say drifter

[brittle shuttle]

(Largely due to a bug)

[west monolith]

What's the bug

[severe jay]

Which bug?

[brittle shuttle]

i thought it was seeker for a bit but false sons funky little bug just kinda lets him onetap solus wing

[severe jay]

The flying one? Or is that patched?

[brittle shuttle]

Lunar ruin doing things it shouldnt do

ruin also counts for two debuffs on death mark

Tldr false son annihilates literally anything and everything because lunar ruin shouldnt work like this

Deathmark doesnt do this its only lunar ruin (and breaching fin but that one is much more tame)

[severe jay]

Aight, thanks for letting me know about that glitch also I can see why you two are saying false son is the best

[west monolith]

Ok I was not aware of this lmao
So basically it multiplies with "total dmg" items way too much?

[brittle shuttle]

Pretty much
Lunar ruin increases damage taken by EVERYTHING per stack but it shouldnt be EVERYTHING
this makes it so you can hit something for some damage, have that hit boosted by lunar ruin, but if that already boosted hit procs something, the proc will land and have its damage boosted AGAIN by ruin

Which then can proc something else

Or when it says it increases damage taken by everything that even includes damage solus wing takes from nodes breaking

[west monolith]

Now all the bs false son does makes sense

[brittle shuttle]

Literally the fix is as simple as this and i am waiting for the mod to be fixed because it makes fs feel so much more reasonable

[odd talon]

chef forever

[twin cedar]

I've seen it before in videos is it actually possible to fight Voidling after Mithrix or is that just a mod I've seen in several videos?

[west monolith]

It is, just gotta go back to where u originally spawned and pet the glass frog 10 times for 10 lunar coins

[twin cedar]

Ohhhh

[severe jay]

It's possible, go to where you spawn on the final stage after you beat mithrix, there will be a frog made out of a statue there, pet him 10 times and a void portal will spawn near the ship if I remember correctly

[twin cedar]

So technically can I fight every big boss in one run?

[severe jay]

Yes, I've done it multiple times before

[twin cedar]

Wow I've been playing the game so wrong

[severe jay]

Just save the void boss for last since after you beat him, the run ends

[brittle shuttle]

yes

[severe jay]

In my opinion you should go, false son, souls wing, mithrix then void boss

[thin jasper]

does anyone know if on Distant Roost if Halcyon Seed is there and complete, could the portal (not Halcyon Seed one, regular one) simply disappear?

[odd talon]

solus wing

[severe jay]

Thanks

[odd talon]

and then the secret secret boss is solus heart

[thin jasper]

I've been on the map for like 15 minutes and haven;t found the portal. No particles to indicate its place, no nothing

[severe jay]

You checked absolutely everywhere? no secret area you missing? Which map? Send a pic of it if you don't know the name of it

[thin jasper]

Yeah, I checked everything. The place up, the place across the "bridge" even checked behind the door

[odd talon]

you know the bridge section that like connects to a different island

[thin jasper]

yes

[patent surge]

What are good red items with loader?

[odd talon]

its like on the back of it

[thin jasper]

I checked that

[odd talon]

no like the backer back

[thin jasper]

?????

[patent surge]

Cause like none of them i can think really help off topic of my head

[odd talon]

you gotta find the back within the back

thats where it is

[severe jay]

The back of the back is where you shall find what you're looking for

[thin jasper]

aaaaaaaah, found it. It wasn't visible, cause it was under the bridged part (below the island)

so even the particles didn't help XD

[odd talon]

told ya

[west monolith]

A lot of generally good items like behemoth and nsuffering ofc help
But rn I'm mainly thinking of runic

[thin jasper]

bruh, I literally never had it spawn there before and I've been playing (somehow) even before any DLCs 😭

[odd talon]

distant roost just kinda gets you like that

[thin jasper]

fr

[twin cedar]

With the new boss item does Mul-t get 3 or 4 equipment slots?

[patent surge]

Really? Ill try it out then. Just like, none of the red items scream with loader to me for some reason

[odd talon]

he gets 6 or 7 with 4

[west monolith]

I mean doesnt runic have like 53% proc chance if u do a bunch of dmg with ur hit, seems to fit loader rly well

[twin cedar]

I'm sorry what

[patent surge]

Hehe

[odd talon]

6 or 7

[twin cedar]

Don't do this damnit I stg ive had a bad enough day already

[patent surge]

I never knew that, I just thought it was like a ATG? Just sometimes happens, sometimes doesnt?

[odd talon]

you had a bad thanksgiving?

[odd talon]

the answer is 3 btw pretty sure

[twin cedar]

I'll just say the police were called >.>

[odd talon]

jesus

sorry to hear

[west monolith]

Theres a reason runic is super strong

It caps at 50% increase

[patent surge]

Ohhhh, okay never knew, I just thought it was a REALLY good missle

[west monolith]

Wait ok no matter where I look I cant find the part where its capped at 50% proc chance so now idk

It might be better than I thought, hmm

Oh yea also headstompers works on loader cuz she can easily get high enough to use it

Afterburner is also great

[patent surge]

Ngl forgot headstompers existed

I know its a good item, just i dont use it often

[simple coyote]

what use does the enhanced grabber drone dragging chests even have

[west monolith]

I mean in the early game u could drag chests u cant afford into a more accessible spot like the tp or near other chests or to the center of the map

So u dont have to walk far away to get that chest once u do have the money

[simple coyote]

I suppose

[west monolith]

Alternatively u can drop the chests into the void so no one can use them (this is very useful)

[simple coyote]

I also heard you can drag the red chest on the tech stage so no puzzle

but like if that’s it then that’s kinda poop

[west monolith]

Yea I dont rly like transport drone's special skill, at least it gives default util movement and has a great normal atk

[foggy vessel]

anyone got a transparent image of greenscrap

[fluid jackal]

is there anything that makes it easier to get aspects other than just clovers

i may or may not have uhh lost mine

[boreal path]

anyone know the hungering gaze proc coefficient(s)?

[west monolith]

Craft them from wandering chef

[fluid jackal]

that’s what I did for what one but I don’t have another wake of vultures

[west monolith]

Rip

[fluid jackal]

discord why

[fluid jackal]

rather then sending both my messages it sent the first one twice

[fluid jackal]

you can’t even craft most of them anyway

[west monolith]

Yea

[fluid jackal]

though I don’t see why the boss item from the overloading worm can’t be used to make the over loading elite item

[boreal path]

ah shit. i checked the other wiki

[west monolith]

Lmao

[mellow crystal]

Check wiki

[signal apex]

I have substandard duplicator, picked up a regen scrap and it gave me a warhorn as the duplicated temporary item. is this a bug?

[snow spire]

why whenever I kill the boss for drifter I take constant burn damage till I die, I have spent 2 hours trying to get drifter and keep dying from the burn

its the giant sphere boss

like you fall down the pit and find it

[fluid jackal]

nope it can’t dupe some items like regen scrap sale star so it gives you another random item of the same rarity

[fluid jackal]

there are heat vents you need to kill or go to the coolant vents and kill them so the boss also burns and the coolant guys cool you off

[snow spire]

I dont get it lol

[foggy vessel]

doesnt have one

[snow spire]

I just use loader and stick to the boss and hit the weak points

[fluid jackal]

Yeah that’s your problem you need to go and kill the other things

What don’t you get?

[snow spire]

I never seen the vents

[fluid jackal]

cause they aren’t on the boss

it even shows you 2 heat vents after the cutscene

[snow spire]

im so stupid lol thank you so much

[heavy gorge]

If somebody else buys a drone, can I as the operator still use it for my skills?

[snow spire]

I assume I step on them and the burning stops

[fluid jackal]

no you just gotta kill em

[snow spire]

its an enemy?

[mellow crystal]

No

[heavy gorge]

I HATE coop now

[fluid jackal]

yes it shows you two of them at the start of the boss fight after the cutscene

[snow spire]

tysm

[heavy gorge]

Which ending gives the most coins? I am assuming it's twisted scav but I'm not sure.

And yes I am aware of notepad

[sweet ibex]

Considering you get both the 5 lunar coins from initially obliterating and the subsequent 10 from the twisted scavenger, it gives you a total of 15 which is the most.

[heavy gorge]

Excellent

[sweet ibex]

(Mithrix and Voidling only give 10.)

[maiden grove]

Struggling as Tinker Drifter on monsoon and need some advice

I really cannot get this to work. Her kit just feels so bad at doing damage. Even with what I think was a very strong build my single target damage was very poor, I feel like I would have had fun with it if it was on any other survivor.

I'm using junk cube and I admit I spend longer than I nornally would per stage but I feel like with all the extra scrap and printer rerolling I should be outscaling regardless.

[chrome echo]

Does eulogy zero make temp items lunar?

[sweet ibex]

Single target damage isn't really Drifter's strong suit, however it shouldn't be too bad when it comes to stationary boss enemies as you can just spam junk cube and constantly m1. It definitely becomes a prevelent issue on Mithrix though. You could try using repossess on some enemies for a slight damage increase for a short bit of time, otherwise there isn't really much to help with.

[boreal path]

how long does tonic affliction last?

[lavish jacinth]

Forever

[worldly olive]

What did your last run look like? If you can show it

[maiden grove]

That's a shame. Because yeah last run the build was really good aoe (wisp, ignition tanks, frost relic) but then it was a lot of work actually killing individual targets. At that point it feels like the only appeal is her absurd regen when using tinker.

How should I be spamming junk cubes? One at a time? In the air?

[boreal path]

does it go away if i use it again?

[worldly olive]

Typically with Tinker Drifter I just scrap anything that I absolutely don't care for, and admittidley probably even items I should (Lepton since Hearty Stew Seems potentially strong as her)

[lavish jacinth]

Tonic temporarily disables it while it's active, but they'll still be there once it wears off

[boreal path]

ffffffffun

[lavish jacinth]

The whole idea is that you either use it sparingly to avoid afflictions, or use gesture to keep it constantly active

[sweet ibex]

Usually hit the junk cube at the boss until it explodes, then use the next. Using them in the air can sometimes cause them to fling away.

[worldly olive]

Oh yeah as a random question: Do you know how to aim Junk Cube itself against fliers?

[cobalt quiver]

aim your crosshair directly at the enemy. check out race's short

[sweet ibex]

No. Put your cursor on the enemy and it will automatically hit.

[worldly olive]

I wasn't asking the question for myself, as I already know

Though my wording was a bit confusing since this is the questions channel

Fuuuuuuuuck I swore I wouldn't do a Drifter run today but talking about her makes me wanna play Tinker Drifter again

[lethal notch]

Can someone help me with the Lunar Seers? I found two portals which seem to lead to two places I want to be to get the False Son character. Now, the one on the left looks like the green locations I want to go to to get to the False Son boss fight, which sadly I could not get a green portal to spawn in the first map, and the other portal looks golden which can be the one where you get the Seed needed to unlock the character.

Is there a way to tell which portal leads to where and if there is a way for me to get both?

This is the screenshot

[sweet ibex]

The left seer is the gilded coast, the right is abandoned aqueduct.

You cannot go through both, though.
