[hearty shore]

what happens when something with the neutrium weight dies to something that cant hold an item

[tawdry dock]

why is it when i get about 2 billion gold it goes negative?

[steady stone]

Integer limit

[tawdry dock]

oh. does the amount stay or is it gone?

[steady stone]

Id guess it really goes to negative but it might just let you but anything anyway. I know having negative lunar coins acts as infinity and just goes further negative.

[tawdry dock]

oh

[hazy snow]

Is it possible to eat lunar coins

[hazy snow]

Whats the best way to farm lunar coins

[midnight bluff]

is there any way to play the older early access versions of the game? i want to record gameplay for a video but im unsure of legit methods to do so

[glacial knoll]

download ror2 version selector

then download whatever old version you want, it'll take a bit

[spiral stag]

Does anyone know if you have to have one of the dlcs to get the skins from beating monsoon lvl 8 or is it just hidden and can only see/get the skins once you complete monsoon lvl 8?

[lavish jacinth]

no, mastery skins are a basegame thing

[spiral stag]

Oh well now I have something to grind for again

[spiral stag]

Thx appreciate the help

[vapid grail]

they really need to buff his default mines and shield. Reminds me of TF2 how clearly inferior options are just sitting there doomed to rot eternally

[lavish jacinth]

they should at least remove the stupid thing where pressure mines' trigger radius is bigger than the blast radius until they're fully armed

[worthy wasp]

if you accidentally start the teleporter on helminth without changing the destination, is it possible to start the loop again? i almost got the false son achievement for 40 charges of the secondary skill and it's taken a while

[lavish jacinth]

you can leave through the artifact portal to loop

or just take any other portal (besides void) if there's one available

[worthy wasp]

leave commencement through a portal?

ooooh i understand

[knotty jetty]

Can you repair broken items with ||crafting|| using same rarity scrap?

[vapid grail]

mostly pearls

[knotty jetty]

Thats sick. Shame that pearls are super annoying to get

[vapid grail]

if you never go to the bazaar yeah gotta get a pod, a lunar worth picking up, then gotta be on a specific map and hope a cleansing pool spawns

[thorn mural]

Does anyone know a move from either a monster or survivor that causes big dark rumbling sounds? Or big explosions? Big electricity boom

Its for a modded item that strikes lightning

[jaunty furnace]

jellyfish explosions?

[thorn mural]

those bosses?

That move they have? That could be good yeah

Any more?

[jaunty furnace]

small jellyfish

arti electric abilities

[thorn mural]

Ahh will check that one out

[thorn mural]

Arti?

[trim lynx]

ficer

[jaunty furnace]

[thorn mural]

Ahh got it! Thanks haha

[thorn mural]

Any more? What about explosions?

[cobalt quiver]

, cap's diablo strike, commando's nades

[lavish jacinth]

There's like five billion things that explode in this game

[thorn mural]

Thank you!

[thorn mural]

I see

[lime ermine]

did Seeker get any nerfs?

[fallen swift]

Where can I get answers to my questions about the game here? 👀

[chilly dust]

is getting the alt special of mercenary worth it?

[frosty reef]

It is a fun and good skill

[chilly dust]

I am new to mercenary so I am not sure if I should grind it or not. I think this prismatic trial is easier but it is way too hard for me.

so idk if I should continue grinding

ic ty. I think I will try once I get better at merc

[jaunty furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/@Cabbage123/videos

[tulip venture]

clinically insanebbage

[chilly dust]

I tried using his methods but I am new to merc so I get hit a lot

I tried like for an hour and I could not get to stage 2 cause of skill issue

So imma get better first

Ty tho

[onyx moth]

so is there an updated item cheat sheet?

[jaunty furnace]

wdym

[toxic echo]

How good is lysate cells on self-damage rex?

[gilded dirge]

Repo or Tornado slam for Drifter?

I found tornado slam to interrupt junk meter momentum, idk if that makes sense

[toxic echo]

Repossess is better

[lyric relic]

if you're looking to use sale stars to get red items, are large chests really the play?
large chests/ large category chests have a guaranteed 80/20 for green/red items
small category chests have white items in the mix, but with the math i did, chances of getting a red item are (hypothetically) as follows:
dmg: 14W/19G/19R = 36.53%R
heal: 8W/5G/4R = 23.52%R
util: 16W/21G/15R = 28.84%R
so in yalls' opinion, is using sale stars on these chests more worth it than large chests? or do the white items in the pool muddy that chance?

[toxic echo]

There are also utility, dmg, and heal large chests

But if your math is correct yeah, looking in small chests is better

If you want a red item. That can be easily influenced by how much a green item would influence your run

[left trellis]

this math assumes the rarities are weighted equally, which they are not. there is some weirdness around how category chest item rarity works but your chances are not that high

[trim lynx]

the tiers are weighted

[lyric relic]

thank you i knew something mightve been wrong

[trim lynx]

1% from a small chest i think

[lyric relic]

even if it was right itd still be niche

[left trellis]

it's not a terrible idea even still. like if I'm lacking in good damage and there's a damage chest on stage I'd probably use sale star on that instead of a large chest

[lyric relic]

yeah like im doing a transcendence build rn and i figured itd be a waste if a large gave me healing items i didnt need, so i used the star on a damage chest

[toxic echo]

is a safer spaces actually worse than tougher times if you're playing as rex? cuz you're taking so many ticks of damage that a tougher times would block more hits than a safer spaces would?

[trim lynx]

if your goal is blocking as many shots as possible, yeah

[livid wedge]

Both seeker with sojourn and rex would rather have tougher times over spaces

[marble magnet]

Ok can someone please teach me some tips on how to deal with wisp perfecteds

I don't struggle with any other enemy like I do with this one

[hoary sedge]

you kinda have 2 options, either play to cover or stay close and strafe in a tight circle around them

the second one is still risky but it gives you a better chance of avoiding the rapidfire shots and will usually make the homing orb break on the ground behind you

being far away from them in the open like that is the worst case scenario so just try to avoid those types of areas until most of them are dead

[marble magnet]

I see

[jaunty furnace]

sprint left or right to avoid the orb

you just kinda tanked that thing

heavily damaging yourself probably didnt help either lolz

[frosty reef]

Stay at the rescue ship bubble and use it as cover while you deal with the scary enemies

[pseudo shadow]

guys what items should i pick up when using double rebar multi

[tawdry dock]

why doesnt the artifact of delusion work for the legendary chests?

[primal vector]

Only works for small.and large chests according to the wiki

[nova gust]

does anyone have any tips with this boss? I just bought this game and I am struggling to beat the boss on the hardest difficulty (he one shot me with the pizza cutter attack in the third phase)

[lavish jacinth]

There are some tips in the pins that might help

[nova gust]

ty

[nova gust]

ah ic, I was flying in the air super far away from him so thats probably why I died to it...

[slow dagger]

i'm trying to do this achievement, does a shield count as health? as in, could i just use that one lunar item to turn all but one health into a shield, and then just run through?

[jaunty furnace]

no

barrier is good though

[slow dagger]

oh okay then!

[jaunty furnace]

[slow dagger]

i just have to be good at the game

[slow dagger]

omg i was thinking of that one item from returns the gem in a locker or something

realised it's not in ror2

[jaunty furnace]

if you have dlc1, and are very powerful

[slow dagger]

omg how didn't i think of that

alright then i'm gonna give it a try

thank you

[jaunty furnace]

those two are items you always want to seek out

genuinely the best defense items in the game

also helps with low damage attacks

[left forge]

And reason why and are good is because you ideally dodge attacks instead of tanking them

[glacial knoll]

well no damage is no damage but if you if you do have barrier then reduing damage to that barrier is useful, otherwise it wouldnt help

[stuck venture]

im so bad at this game, i have yet to win a single run and i just keep getting oneshoted in like stage 4/5, im playing operator, can someone give me tips?

i did like 15 runs

[jaunty furnace]

get all the items and use the tools given to you to make the best of what you get

like scrappers, printers, bazaar and moon cauldrons, macro equipments, etc

dont skip items because "Youre Taking Too Long"

[stuck venture]

i shread trough the teleporter bosses

and most enemies

[jaunty furnace]

then you should start getting better at avoiding damage

and seek out defense items instead of more healing

and speed above that

[stuck venture]

i got once 300% speed from a lonar altar but i couldnt controll it well

[jaunty furnace]

?

you mean shrine of order or

[stuck venture]

idk

i dont remember, it cost a lunar coin

[jaunty furnace]

the one that turns all of your items into one type of item per rarity

[stuck venture]

maybe

for avoiding damage is there some movement tech or being unpredictable or just looking at projectiles?

and dodging them

[wispy wyvern]

depends
what survivor

[stuck venture]

operator

hes cool

[worthy wasp]

is it possible to see what quests you have left for your current character?

i always forget whether the character i'm playing wants me to reject or accept the offer

[jaunty furnace]

pause > logbook

[winged shore]

Are lunar stakes better than lunar spikes

[mellow crystal]

better but lunar spikes are easier to use

[winged shore]

For pure damage/debuff potential

Are stakes better

[mellow crystal]

yes

[ember adder]

what are these other lobby tags?

Rule voting 0/1 (self explanatory), rmp0 (?), rro1 (?), a=stuff (artifact selection), difficulty (difficulty)

[winged shore]

Also, is the void needle better than the Tri tip daggers on false son and rail gunner?

[lavish jacinth]

It's fine on false son, on railgunner I'd just scrap tritips unless I'm using alt m2

[lavish jacinth]

Enemies don't predict your movement anyway so you don't really need to be unpredictable, just circlestrafing and jumping is enough to avoid most things

and you can save your movement skills for when you need to get out of a bad spot or reposition

[stuck venture]

should i get lunar items? i mostly pick shaped glass. i shread trough bossees but i get oneshot

[lavish jacinth]

up to you, most of them are good but you have to know how to play around their downsides

[stuck venture]

it goes like this, i get good items, i coem across shaped glas, i shread trough bosses and i get oneshoted

[lavish jacinth]

in that case either don't take glass, get more defensive items, or practice not getting hit

but if you like lunars, a couple stacks of more or less cancels out the downside of glass and is really strong in general

[stuck venture]

i cant pick because i play operator and my healing drones would be useless

[lavish jacinth]

they still give a buff to attack and movement speed

and you can always just not pick up healing drones if you're running transc

[wary tangle]

What’s with the frozen door in the siphoned forest

[stuck venture]

im using full deafult but gunner drone and transport drone

[lavish jacinth]

it's just decoration

[lavish jacinth]

I hope you're on switch, lol

[wary tangle]

And the green portals?

[lavish jacinth]

green portals take you to the SotS alt path

[stuck venture]

as operator shoul i go for a proc build?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

he's basically a stronger commando

[jaunty furnace]

did switch get a fucking platform exclusive fix

[lavish jacinth]

#1449234893702692937 message

[echo mountain]

Got a issue, I am trying to get Rex mastery skin and have defeated mithrix and also tried obliterating myself on monsoon. Both times it hasn’t gave me the skin. Any help

[stable rapids]

just got to lvl 4 the lava area how do i get rid of the purple zone areas i cant buy anything and the things i shoot dont make it go away

[wary tangle]

How do I clear 20 stages for the incorruptible challenge?

[zinc turtle]

you need to kill the purple enemies

[zinc turtle]

just keep looping

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow-eq6B2loM

[wary tangle]

Thanks

[grim quail]

yo chat yg know what items should i get for chef?

[lavish jacinth]

he does really well with proc items and debuff-related stuff

[grim quail]

tysm bratha

[quasi crystal]

hi, you guys know that one bug where very late into runs the game starts spawning only scavengers and soon after enemy spawning just stops? does anyone know if that was fixed? are the devs interested in fixing it if it’s not?

[lavish jacinth]

hasn't been fixed afaik, and I imagine it's pretty low-priority

not many people play that many stages in one run, and it's just a result of how the games' entire spawning system works so fixing it is probably easier said than done

[quasi crystal]

that’s unfortunate.

what’s the best place to get a bug report noticed by devs?

[lavish jacinth]

#1440408911604879511 but I'd be surprised if they're not aware of this by now

or #ror2-bug-reports-pc #ror2-bug-reports-console but those aren't as active

[quasi crystal]

thank you so much

[short laurel]

Quick question, can I put a Queen's Gland in a lemurian egg? If so, does it give a beetle guard to each one? I assume no but I want to confirm

[gusty spindle]

does base game ror2 have a lot of content? i just got the game and haven’t bought the dlcs. so im just curious if its even worth playing without them

[lavish jacinth]

it definitely is, depending on how quickly you get bored of it you can probably get a couple hundred hours out of the base game, easily. But the DLCs are also really good and worth buying eventually

[gusty spindle]

alright thank you for the response. i am looking into buying the dlcs but i dont have $60 to throw at it for all dlcs lol

[lavish jacinth]

btw, if you do end up getting one I'd recommend going with Survivors of the Void first

[zinc turtle]

you can also just play with people with dlc and you'll have access to everything but the characters, including items

[gusty spindle]

oh that’s sick. i had no idea that’s how it worked

[zinc turtle]

if you need someone to play with, gotchu 😉

[lavish jacinth]

prismatic trials also have dlc content enabled (except survivors), so if you prefer singleplayer, you can kinda treat it like a free trial lol

[gusty spindle]

i’m on ps5 and i don’t think ror2 has crossplay sadly lol

[zinc turtle]

it does not, you'll find people in https://discord.com/channels/417739215355510784/618010151324090370

[gusty spindle]

yeah but i’m kinda enjoying the game solo atm. just wanna understand it fully and i wanna unlock all the characters

[marble magnet]

Hey is artifact of frailty literally E3 or

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[marble magnet]

So I can practice with it basically

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[marble magnet]

Alright thank youp

[junior geode]

Only difference is that frailty also affects enemies iirc

[marble magnet]

I don't think that'll matter much since id mainly turn it on to stop myself from taking risks with falling

[strange frigate]

guys why does my friend cant access multiplayer

he keeps getting kicked back to main menu

[wispy wyvern]

anyone able to access this chest on prime merdian? it cant be interacted with at all

[viral minnow]

is there any way out from glided coast with longstanding solitude (ye i know im stupid i didnt remove it before going there and im probobaly stuck here)

[peak holly]

Nope, softlocked

You just don’t go there with longstanding

[fleet dirge]

For new players such as myself are there any tips for starting Monsoon runs?

[viral minnow]

im not very advanced player but my tip is to loot more efficiently as after 30 minutes you will have HAHAHA difficulty (or youre gonna be close to it), dont speedrun beacuse items makes you stronger more then the time makes you weaker but on moonson you need to know where chests/newt altars are and just dont waste time

also moonson isnt that hard as the description says in my opinion and more monsters on early stages are just better in my opinion beacuse you dont have to wait for monsters which is realy annoying in rainstorm at early stages

[viral minnow]

im becoming new aurelionite of this coast

[kindred crescent]

how does seeker’s revive work? does it only work once per stage or does it have no limit

[jaunty furnace]

once per stage

which is still fucking insane

also you can use it on teammates which will also consume it

[frosty reef]

You should look at disputed Origin's eclipse guide on yt. Any eclipse tips will be valid on monsoon as well

[kindred crescent]

okay thank you

[hard oracle]

so I've noticed that when I started up eclipse for the first time my artifacts arent available, do I have to unlock all the artifacts again in eclipse or are they completely unavailable

[mellow crystal]

eclipse disables artifacts

[hard oracle]

ah okay so I cant unlock them for it then

sad but makes sense

[brittle shuttle]

Weird new annoying pm bug

All possible chest spawns will have a chest there

But only the original 4 that were supposed to spawn can be opened

You can ping the chests and if nothing comes up then its a fake chest

If it gets pinged like how it should then its real

[wispy wyvern]

did it start with ac being released? or was it before that update

[brittle shuttle]

either ac release or the patch after ac idr

I tjink it was ac release

Better time than ever to learn pm chest spawns

[proud ingot]

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to beat Solus Heart for the DLC skin on a lot of the characters I'm less familiar with. 4 stages of random items done solo doesn't usually feel like enough, unless I luck into an absolute god loadout.

For people who are more knowledgeable, do you find that the extra items from looping are usually enough to offset the increased scaling on Solus Heart?

[lavish jacinth]

as long as you're full-clearing stages, looping should be enough, yeah.

it's still pretty doable without looping but it's a lot more difficult

[short laurel]

Dude how does the scavenger work- I was nonstop attacking and it would NOT die, I think it died once then revived-?

This was my build and stats for this one, 14mil damage is insane- It wouldnt die I was attacking for like, 15 minutes

[lavish jacinth]

Kipkip is complete BS, encountering them is basically a softlock that the devs apparently don't bother fixing

[short laurel]

Ive defeated it before but idk

[lavish jacinth]

there are four variants of twisted scavs that all spawn different pre-determined items

the others aren't so bad, but kipkip is damn near invincible

[short laurel]

Oh, thats the one I got..

[lavish jacinth]

combo with all of their healing items means they can pick up a single monster tooth orb or get one medkit proc, and get enough health to fill their healthbar several times over and fully heal in about 5 seconds

medkit and monster tooth used to be flat amounts rather than a % of max health so they gave kipkip a bunch of them, but when the items got buffed they apparently forgot that this boss existed and never nerfed it

[short laurel]

Yea I had it down 3/4 health and it just full healed randomly while I was attacking if

[lavish jacinth]

at least twisted scav is a completely optional fight with zero reward other than some lunar coins

[short laurel]

I needed him for acrid...😭

[lavish jacinth]

it doesn't count for the acrid unlock, you just need a normal scavenger

[short laurel]

So I did all that for nothing-?

How do I get a normal one

[lavish jacinth]

afraid so

just keep looping, they're a late-game enemy

[short laurel]

Oh ok

[lavish jacinth]

on monsoon you typically start seeing them around stage 8 or 9, lower difficulties will take longer

[short laurel]

Gotcha, tyty

[neon tiger]

when will cross play be added?

[lavish jacinth]

not any time soon

[chilly dust]

Which artifacts should I unlock next? I already got command.

[cobalt herald]

i accdentily went into the void locus area, is there anyway to continue the run and not end it by fighting voidling

[jaunty furnace]

nope

[cobalt herald]

dammit

frick my achivments then

[marble magnet]

Eclipse lite would be very good with diablo right?

[marble magnet]

Oh

No but isn't it the larger the cooldown the more barrier

[frosty reef]

Idk that's a pretty long cooldown to be reliable barrier when you're wanting it

[high forum]

No, it’s when any skills finishes cooldown

So you want the opposite, actually. Someone like Mercenary with a would be a good fit for a couple stacks of eclipse lite

[hoary sedge]

do also keep in mind that the eclipse lite stacking kinda sucks

it's only +0.25% hp barrier per second cooldown

so you kinda need a lot in order to actually get meaningfully increased returns

and yeah diablo gives you a lot of barrier but it's usually when you don't need it

visions of heresy is a better pick if you want to focus on eclipse lite barrier, it counts every charge as an individual 2 second refresh so you get 24% barrier every time it recharges

[marble magnet]

Damn ok

[dusk fiber]

Guys if i have the unstable fuel cell for the Rex quest and i open a void thingy that gives me a void item but i have trancendence do i die or not?

[hoary sedge]

you die

fuel array counts shields as max health

you need to have some barrier or safer spaces if you want to open a void cradle

[dusk fiber]

Thank you

[marble magnet]

Lowk Im running diablo when I get to Mithrix I should probably try that diablo strat

It's not patched out right? The one where you perfectly time diablo on Mithrix spawn?

[rapid current]

how do u get drifter

[marble magnet]

Do you know how to get to solus wing?

[rapid current]

yea

i defeated both the normal boss and the seret one( not so seret but very hard )

[marble magnet]

Because basically after you beat it there's two rooms, two rails connect them so you can traverse either one

In one of the rooms there will be two blue eyed souls orbs (stationary interactives) with matrix cubes (yellow item)

You need to collect both to unlock her, when returning you'll have to fight a umbra of Mul-T, he's not that hard

There should be a barriered up room at the ground floor of the arena
Use your first matrix cube on it, head in and use your second on the cage holding drifter

Hopefully I make sense

The other room aside from the matrix cube room has a TC drone

[rapid current]

an u go to the solus wing twie in a run

2 times

[marble magnet]

Once per run

Any way to get back to the AC path results in it sending you to the virtual shop

Yea sorry I also had to redo Swing because I didn't know that

[rapid current]

an u ontinue the run after defeating the boss at the virtual shop

[marble magnet]

Solus heart?

If you don't spare it yea

Or do you mean the friendly npc SPEX?

Then also yes but you'll be gated from the virtual shop

[frosty reef]

That's still doable yeah

[marble magnet]

I missed the timing on it sadly (still won, that's 3 runs in a row won on a single day)

Is there anyway to make it more easily timeable

[frosty reef]

There may or may not be a video on yt for it. Just look up diablo timings ror2

[marble magnet]

Alrighty

[slim spoke]

generally speaking stacking watches and just scrap on hit dmg items gives you more leeway

[jaunty furnace]

wuh

[slim spoke]

crowbars are meh unless you have a shitton of passive heals, gets crowbars first and just pray

[jaunty furnace]

they were asking about timing, not damage

[marble magnet]

Yea

[slim spoke]

fineeee

[marble magnet]

I was running a firework build so I had good healing anyway

[slim spoke]

i guess you wanna cheese

[marble magnet]

Tbh I maybe should've but I didn't scrap squid

Because fireworks was doing all the work

[jaunty furnace]

also the things you said are kinda Insane

[slim spoke]

brain matter moment drop it when he sucks

[marble magnet]

Can't wait for the diablo only run

[slim spoke]

[jaunty furnace]

@ race

[marble magnet]

It's doable probably just time consuming

[hearty shore]

is it actually possible to kill the guy in the crafting room

[marble magnet]

Nope

He's a cheater and will always have enough health to survive

[lyric silo]

didnt race say in a video that he doesnt wanna do that since itd be boring af

[stuck venture]

just won my first run, i wanted to get desperado on bandit, i needed one shot and... a stupid drone killes mithrix. How to get desperado easily?

[jaunty furnace]

dont get damage drones and avoid items that can steal the kill

[stuck venture]

maybe artefact of glass on drizzle

[lyric silo]

and many many crowbars and watches

and ap rounds

[agile pulsar]

hi! Im at stage 8 and am trying to unlock the false son character. the only way to get a guilded coast stage from this point is going through the blue portal, entering bazaar and praying that it shows up right?

[frosty reef]

the gold shrines as well

[agile pulsar]

hmmm, didnt get guilded coast at bazaars, so I guess I need to loop until I find a gold portal

[jaunty furnace]

just keep checking bazaar lol

the seers arent a one-type-per-run thing

[agile pulsar]

gotcha

[hard oracle]

okay please tell me there is a way to make engineer's moving turrets stay still because I just spent 4 hours just for a SINGLE abandoned aquaduct and now I learned apparently mines do not hold the pressure plates down and all the pots are gone

I do not have the mental willpower to spend another DAY looking for an abandoned aquaduct again

[steady stone]

boy just wait until i tell you about this other turret engineer has
but it will try to path to you when you walk away, you cant tell it to stay

you could hold it down with like if you find one though, or lunar coins

[lavish jacinth]

if you've got lunar coins to spare, you can just go to the bazaar from stage 1 and look for aqueduct in a lunar seer. If you've got SotV and AC, turn them off so you don't get the DLC stage 2 maps

[steady stone]

oh, or you could get a pot onto it

[hard oracle]

pots fell in battle bravely

[unkempt cloak]

What’s up with all the loader hate guys

[lavish jacinth]

?

[unkempt cloak]

The community HATES people that play loader (not saying this server) just the community

Specially ror2 loader

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, I don't see much of that in this server lol. At worst people just dislike her because she's kinda repetitive to play

[unkempt cloak]

Wdym by that?

[mellow crystal]

She doesn't really have much variety to how you play her
You move around with m2 + util and you kill everything with m2 + util

[lavish jacinth]

She's kind of a one-trick pony

the movement is fun, but it does get old. I used to main loader until I realized that every run with her felt pretty much the same lol

[unkempt cloak]

You right you right

I only use her when I wanna just win you know?

Like when I got captain

[lavish jacinth]

But if I had to guess, Loader players in multiplayer may have a reputation for being loot goblins who greatly overestimate their own skill, I think I've seen people complain about that before

[unkempt cloak]

Makes sense

[left trellis]

I think if you're seeing any subset of "the community" hating on players of a character you're probably seeing a very specific annoying vocal minority. actual hate for people using certain characters is very rare, this isn't a competitive game

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, just play whatever you want, don't worry about what the community thinks. Especially if you mostly play singleplayer

[unkempt cloak]

Ur about me is peak

Also yeah u right

[mellow crystal]

The exception I'd say is probably rex but that's a whole other conversation about eclipse and how common resource management is as a skill

[unkempt cloak]

What are y’all’s favorite artifacts

To use

[mellow crystal]

I don't normally play with artifacts but whenever I do I always have dissonance and evolution as my go-tos

They're nice spice ups without changing the run too much

Prestige and vengeance are also silly

[unkempt cloak]

I LOVE the artifact of prestige

That+ the artifact of swarms is so fun

[lavish jacinth]

A run I've had fun with lately is Prestige, but I'm only allowed to take items from the teleporter and equipment

[wary tangle]

What defensive items are good to use when artifact of glass is enabled?

[lavish jacinth]

is king

repulsion plates might save you from getting chipped to death

but for the most part, your offense is your defense with glass

(also move speed helps a ton)

[wary tangle]

Fair point, best defense is offense, that’s the main idea with glass

[wicked bobcat]

hello i was wondering if there is a way to completely remove the red border on the screen when taking damage?

[lavish jacinth]

I don't think you can completely remove it, there might be a mod for it though. #ror2-modding might know

[wicked bobcat]

okay ty

[distant fox]

Once I entered one green portal, does entering the next one bring me back to the normal loop? Or do I have to enter the teleporter regularly

[lavish jacinth]

green portals will keep you on the SotS stages, using the teleporter goes back to normal ones

[distant fox]

Thanks

[wary tangle]

What’s the offering of the collective and how do I get to it & accept or reject it to get skins?

[lavish jacinth]

if you know how to get to the end of the AC path, accepting or rejecting is as simple as going up to the guy and hitting E on him, or just shooting him in the face

if not, then the whole process is (without too many spoilers)
||1. Use access node on any stage 3, take the encrypted portal
2. Do the stage, try to keep 1-2 extra sentry keys by the end
3. Go through tp, deal with the next thing. Afterwards you can explore a bit, there's another item that you can use in place of a sentry key if you don't have a spare (🔑 + orphaned core work too). Grab the item in front of the portal before you leave
4. Find the chef on the back left side of the next area, give him the item you got, along with one of the key items. Then use that as an offering
5. Go through portal, you'll figure it out from there. Accepting or rejecting is the final step after that||

• if you can't remember if your survivor is supposed to accept or reject, you can check the challenges section in the logbook

[viscid tinsel]

does this game run on steam deck ?

[lavish jacinth]

*it does have some issues with keybindings sometimes, switching to proton 9.0.4 should fix it

[viscid tinsel]

is switching the proton versions hard? i’m not amazing at tech stuff

[lavish jacinth]

I have no idea lol

I don't play on steam deck, but I've seen other people have that issue before and apparently that fixes it

[viscid tinsel]

alr thanks, i’ll see if anyone else who does play on steam deck ends up replying

[lavish jacinth]

you can probably just look up how to do it

[viscid tinsel]

yeah i had a look and it was pretty easy

[south egret]

yes, very well. It's incredibly fun :]
and if you don't use mnk, I recommend turning on gyro. It changed my life

[south egret]

I am here for you

[viscid tinsel]

gotcha, thanks!

[oblique saffron]

is there any way to guarantee i can fight aurelionite in a run

i wanna unlock false son but i dont want it to be contingent on chance

[south egret]

no

[oblique saffron]

that sucks

[south egret]

halcyon shrines have a significantly high chance to spawn on stage 1. If you don't see one, go to the bazaar between time, find the golden pillars around the place and destroy them, and then once you desotry (I think) 3, you can use the exit portal to be on the path of the colossus, which will guarantee you'll see false son, assuming you don't leave the path

[oblique saffron]

I still need the halcyon seed to get false son though

[south egret]

oh, right. I forgot about that

[south egret]

well, you have a 15% chance to get a dream seer of golden coast, and otherwise there's always gold shrines on the stages. Plus, if you turn on command and sacrifice, stage credits will have a significantly higher chance of spawning gold shrines

[oblique saffron]

Are there literally always gold shrines or only a chance

[south egret]

only a chance, but a decent chance

I feel like I see one pretty often on comswac runs

[oblique saffron]

waht is a comswac run sorry im new

[south egret]

command, swarms, sacrifice. It's a common trio that makes the game a lot easier

oh wait, hang on

[south egret]

do you have sotv?

[oblique saffron]

yeah i do

I bought the game and its dlc on the sale its on rn

[south egret]

go in with command, use on a boss, turn the boss drop into a
guaranteed aurelionite, and you don't even need to go to golden coast

[oblique saffron]

What does the tricorn do?

[south egret]

instakills a boss and makes them drop their boss item. With command on, it turns the drop into a boss command essence, letting you pick which item you want

[oblique saffron]

so what kind of boss would i have to use it on

[south egret]

any that appear at the teleporter

do you have command unlocked?

[oblique saffron]

oh alright alright

yeah i do

[south egret]

cool beans

[oblique saffron]

Alright thank you lots

[south egret]

good luck 🫡

[pallid mirage]

What are drifters passives about scrap giving her buffs

[lavish jacinth]

Going to the bazaar each stage is the best way to get it by far, and if you're on any stage but 4 then there'll be a green portal on gilded coast so you can go straight to the SotS path from there

[oblique saffron]

Thanks for letting me know

[pallid mirage]

Thank u

[viscid tinsel]

how does the progression in this game work? i’m not super familiar with these types of games

[real plaza]

hey so mithrix is not in his stage and has like 2 hp and were stuck in his arena any ideas

[lavish jacinth]

mostly through unlocking stuff

[viscid tinsel]

so like you keep playing rounds until you slowly get better gear ect?

[lavish jacinth]

like he got out of the arena somehow?

[real plaza]

yeah...

[lavish jacinth]

pretty much
it's a roguelike, so there aren't really any permanent upgrades besides unlocking new abilities and characters to use, but you can unlock more items and stuff that'll show up in runs

[real plaza]

we pillar skipped and were dogging on him and now hes out of the arena

[viscid tinsel]

ohh thanks

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, you might be softlocked unfortunately, unless you can figure out where he is and find a way to damage him somehow. I think he normally teleports back to the arena when he does the big shockwave attack, but if he's not using it then he might be stuck somewhere weird that broke his AI

[agile pulsar]

?? what is that voidling fight man

4 hour run, took 90 minutes to find the void portal and I die in 20 seconds with 26 safer spaces

straight bs

[marble magnet]

How many runs do I need to win in a row for a fully green page on the run history

[kindred crescent]

So I was in a drizzle run trying to get commando’s frag grenade.

I had lots of items and two of those were the functional coupler and seed of life. The seed of life was in my second slot.

I paused the game to do something, came back to being spawn-camped by enemies and 0 frames.

I died, but the seed of life didn’t activate, why did that happen?

Did I die too fast and the game just didn’t use the seed of life??

[plain mural]

cn anyonje help me figure out how to get hrough the tp right b4 solus wing, after you defeaat the bird, its not letting me through

[unkempt cloak]

If there was one survivor from ror1 that you could bring to ror2 who would it be

[mellow crystal]

seed of life needs to be in your main slot

[kindred crescent]

okay thank you 💔

70 minutes for monster logs and the other commando achievement

[mellow crystal]

miner kinda deserves a spot in the roster atp
they literally released a dlc where robots excavate and mine the planet for resources and didn't add miner to it 😭

[unkempt cloak]

I can agree with that

We need more ror1 ppl

RISK OF RAIN DEVS

ADD ENFORCER TO RISK OF RAIN TWO

AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[rapid current]

how do i stop getting 50 burn staks on the new boss

[lavish jacinth]

there are heat vents and fire hydrants around the arena, destroying the hydrants creates a safe zone that cleanses the burn and makes you immune to it for a while, and breaking the heat vents will stop the burn entirely

also, if you break all the hydrants but leave the heat vents alive, the boss will lose its fire immunity and cook itself to death

[jaunty furnace]

get in cooling zones or destroy the heat vents

destroying the cooling vents makes the cooling zones bigger and stops them from cooling down the boss, letting the boss burn from the heat vents
destroying the heat vents stops the heat overall

[novel lodge]

Is the game worth picking up? I heard of some things like the dlcs being broken and 2K getting scummy with their EULA but the game itself looks good.

[cunning orchid]

Yup. Most of the glitches if not all i've encountered are harmless and sometimes funny.

[jaunty furnace]

https://discord.com/channels/417739215355510784/1449234893702692937

this is not harmless

some people have even said that their windows crashed from this

but yes, the game is mostly good

though the route they seem to be taking is unfortunate (dlc after dlc without making many patches for fixes and balance)

[hearty ivy]

Death by 1000 bugs 💔

[hoary sedge]

it does seem to be getting a little better, this last dlc was the most stable launch we've had, but yeah they've kinda only been doing 1 or 2 rounds of fixes post launch and then leaving the rest to either linger or fix it when the next dlc launches

overall the game is very good still though

[valid silo]

Uhh my items changed midrun why is that (new player btw)

[high forum]

you activated a Shrine of Order

[valid silo]

Is there a way to get my items back?

[jaunty furnace]

no

[valid silo]

Damn okay

Thanks!

[hoary sedge]

wow that is actually one of the luckiest order shrines I've seen lmao

[sullen basin]

what dlc is card?

[wild prairie]

is there a way to guarentee the access node after looping?
I cant find one lol

[wild prairie]

F

[sullen basin]

it's just on third stages iirc

[wild prairie]

yeah I lost count, im on stage 13, forgot where I was

[sullen basin]

just every 3 stages lol

[wild prairie]

but when u loop, then 6 technically becomes 1, so that makes 7, 2

[sullen basin]

well sorry not every 3 stages, every third stage

[lavish jacinth]

it's on every stage 3 map, but if you've already been there once then it won't spawn

the only way to get back is to kill alloy worship unit or false son for a guaranteed portal

[lavish jacinth]

SotV

[wild prairie]

rly? oh do those guarenteed portals only spawn after you've been there once?

also what is this black legendary chest?

oh I cant post pictures

[lavish jacinth]

no, they always spawn, it's just the access nodes that stop spawning

[lavish jacinth]

you need a role #roles but I'm guessing it's just some weird lighting bug

[wary tangle]

Does work with artifact of sacrifice? Every time i use artifact of sacrifice and get it, i will never get another lunar item for the rest of the run. Does it not work with sacrifice or am i just really unlucky?

[lavish jacinth]

It should, I think you're just unlucky

[wary tangle]

You were right I finally got a lunar item from eulogy zero

[south ivy]

Is alloyed collective worth it ?

[slate stone]

“new player btw”

looks at lunar coins

right….

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, it's really good

[unkempt cloak]

Bro it’s awesome

The survivors the items

The heart and wing bosses are some of my favorites

[wary tangle]

If I give an equipment Drone an unused can the drone use it on the boss?

[lavish jacinth]

yep, although it'll still get consumed

[wary tangle]

“Ahoy!”

What about the seed of life?

[mellow crystal]

It can use it but I wouldn't rely on it
Equipment drone AI is a copy-paste of gunner drone AI so they activate equips by going "oh that's an enemy! I'm gonna spam at it!"
So if the equip drone doesn't have any enemies to target then it won't revive you

[wary tangle]

Oh okay

And besides I’m playing solo so it probably won’t have the time to revive me

[lavish jacinth]

it would have to use it during the few seconds between you dying and the death screen popping up

which can happen but is super unlikely

[formal adder]

so what items are good with railgunner? the ones i usually go with are syringes for atk speed, crowbar for more damage, armor piercing bullets, laser scope and delicate watch.

I have no idea what to get from the green rarity and ibhavent unlocked every item either as I have just began two days ago. I already have three artifact being command,sacrifice and idk the name of the 3rd but it makes all enemies elites

[lavish jacinth]

are the really big greens for her, if you don't have them unlocked, you'll wanna get them ASAP. They're locked behind the gate on abandoned aqueduct, I'd recommend using engineer for it.

You're got the right idea with direct damage multipliers, but there's no reason to neglect total damage procs like etc., they deal a % of the hit that procced them and are good on literally everyone. The only thing you can probably skip are the syringes, they're not overly impactful unless you're using the alt m2

are also nice for crowd control along with uke

[fleet shoal]

Beads of fealty stops working when it gets turned into a pearl right?

[formal adder]

is backup mag a good skill for railgunner

[lavish jacinth]

nope

on her default scope it gives her an extra shot without needing to reload, but it's still pretty slow and doesn't get the perfect reload bonus

and on the alt scope it does literally nothing

[formal adder]

ah ok thanks a lot

[fringe fiber]

For operator 1st Secondary or 2nd. Secondary skill

And a reason for whichever is better than the other

[lavish jacinth]

you mean secondary?

[fringe fiber]

Yes

[lavish jacinth]

definitely default imo

the alt is super janky and the damage is pretty mediocre even when actually works

only reason to use the alt is if you hate the drones all having different attacks and just want them to do the same thing

[mellow crystal]

Agreed
Default m2 gives op even more versatility than he already has

[formal adder]

what items are good for engineer?I alreadybhave the musroom but how about turrent damage or turrent atk speed

[lavish jacinth]

are some noteworthy ones, but he synergizes with a ton of stuff. Damage-wise he likes having proc items, you mainly wanna focus on stuff that'll benefit your turrets

[formal adder]

will syringe and delicate watch help with turrent speed amd damage?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, turrets inherit all of your items

except for a handful of blacklisted ones, but those are mainly minion-spawning items or stuff that wouldn't work correctly anyway like rusted key

but they're essentially a disposable clone of yourself, with an attack similar to commando's primary

[formal adder]

my current progress is 4 mushrooms,3 watches,3 missile,one gasoline,2 syringes, one harpoon,one potion and one shuriken

[lavish jacinth]

and consumables like elixir and dio are really good, because rebuilding turrets will refresh any broken items as long as you don't lose your own copy

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, that's not bad

[formal adder]

yeah im farming stage 1 since i have sacrifice and command active so imma keep adding more watches and syringes for damage amd speed along with missiles

[lavish jacinth]

remember that it's always best to diversify damage items, since they stack additively but can multiply each other

but with command/sacrifice you can kinda just do whatever lol

[formal adder]

ok got it

[formal adder]

so is there an easier way to find the second button in abandoned aqueduct? I found the first button on the area where there is a small bridge and the pit

[kindred crescent]

I think the buttons spawn on random spots around the map

[formal adder]

i found the second button and killed the two bosses

but i didnt get the bands since im running command

[lavish jacinth]

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Abandoned_Aqueduct the possible spots are all on the wiki

[marble magnet]

Do sale star printers exist? I have not seen one ever

[lavish jacinth]

it's blacklisted from printers

[marble magnet]

Fair now that I realise it

Used sale stars still count as greens right?

[lavish jacinth]

it's untiered

[fallow saffron]

anyone have tips for acrid on moon, hes genuinely a super fun survivor to play but anytime i go to mithrix, the lunar wisp just shreds me instantly

[lavish jacinth]

stick to cover and wait for their machine gun to stop firing, they always shoot for exactly 4 seconds and then have a pretty long cooldown after, ~16s iirc. They do have a secondary attack but it's got a pretty long windup that's easy to see

or, just keep your distance and wear them down with poison

[viral minnow]

anyone know how to modify lunar coins via console on linux?

[trim lynx]

give_lunar with debugtoolkit

[viral minnow]

its a mod?

[jaunty furnace]

yes

[viral minnow]

ok

[agile pulsar]

does beating eclipse count for the beating the game achievement on monsoon? since it does play on monsoon

I didnt know that beating fuckass voidling unlocks it 😭 i just wanted to cheese that fight with command because it genuinely pissed me off, but didnt wanna unlock any other achievements

[pseudo shadow]

what items do i get on loader (white green red and yellow, also which lunar items?)

[slim spoke]

generally raw damage everything, but atg and its related items serves very well with her typical playstyle
for lunars, you can have a bit of leeway with stone pauldron and shaped glass cuz hp and speed are literally zero concern, she doesnt even walk if you manage it right

and also please get hardlight

[jaunty furnace]

no mention

[pine hearth]

What are the best items for an operator? What is the priority?

[jaunty furnace]

anything

pretty much

[gentle ruin]

Depends a lil bit on the secondary I’m using. Ignition tank specifically works wonders on alt secondary. Regular one is pretty good, mini chain attacks on gunner drones can solve 90% of early game aoe issues.

I find that the items I get with the normal secondary vary in effectiveness depending on the drones I have

[pine hearth]

thx

[daring summit]

Just noticed something that could be a bug:
Focus convergeance works on every teleporter, right? How come its effect and radius reduction isn't applied to the escape ship? Eclipse 2 modifier can do it but this item does not

[lean vine]

To play on multiplayer, do anyone know if you can change from server (for exemple from Europe to América)

[jaunty furnace]

multiplayer is peer2peer

meaning the game is hosted on the host's pc

there are no dedicated servers unless someone goes out of their way to make some

[lean vine]

???

P2P is connected by a cable

[jaunty furnace]

no

[lean vine]

Localy

[jaunty furnace]

local is a different thing

[lean vine]

You mean that it works by hosting?

[true saddle]

my game softlocks on a blank screen at the 3rd stage, i think it has something to do with my friend reviving. but whenever i reach stage 3 i am rendered blind and cant do anything

i just bought the game

[jaunty furnace]

local (also known as lan) is when youre next to eachother in the same room, peer2peer is when everyone else connects to your pc instead of a dedicated server

[true saddle]

this is wat it looks like

[daring cloak]

Hmmm

That is odd

[true saddle]

its important to mention that my friend became a drone on stage 2 in both instances

idk if thats related

[daring cloak]

Easy fix just tell your friend to be better at the game

Joking of course

[true saddle]

🤷

[daring cloak]

But yeah that is off

[true saddle]

i verified integrity of my files

idk if it fixed

[daring cloak]

Ok so crazy idea

[true saddle]

but im assuming it didnt as this happened like day 1

[daring cloak]

There used to be a similar bug that got fixed by opening the logbook in the pause menu

Soooo maybe that could help???

[true saddle]

@subtle sentinel you suck at ts game bro 🤣

[true saddle]

hm maybe

ill try that next time

[jaunty furnace]

did you get banned from ukds

[wary tangle]

Which special skill is better on huntress? Arrow rain or ballista?

[livid wedge]

Ballista

[jaunty furnace]

ballista by many miles

whole ass continent

[unkempt cloak]

Ballista

[formal adder]

so which area or stage is good to farm for items?

[high sedge]

Generally the amount of items you get is proportional to the amount of director credits a stage has, with a noteworthy exception being sirens call which is much worse than the other 400 credit maps

The most credits on each stage are
1: siphoned at 300
2: all the non aqueducts stages have 280
3: all the 3s have 280
4: all the stage 4s have 400 but abyssal has a 50% chance to be 460
5: helminth has 570

[lavish jacinth]

With sacrifice or just normally?
Because in normal runs it doesn't really matter, you should always be full-looting every stage. But with sacrifice, the map doesn't matter as much as the stage count. Higher stages have stronger enemies and higher spawnrates, which means more drops

[formal adder]

with sacrifice actually.I want to have a decent chunk of items before moving onto higher levels.I was using engi and i had collected 50 syringes,50 watches, 47 missiles and mushrooms and it was carrying me through the game but it crashed. i was at 105 min mark so was curious how fast i can gain items again to complete runs

[lavish jacinth]

kinda depends on your own skill vs. how much time you wanna save

with sac it's more efficient to just rush through the early stages and get to higher ones with better spawns, but you'll have to do those stages with very few items

unless you get lucky with some early drops

[mystic rock]

for the challenge "False Son: Family Bonding" where u have to have Aurelionite kill the final boss while inflicted with the Lunar Ruin, is there some trick to this?

my friend and i have done it, while the boss was under lunar ruin for what was the entire time, and aurelionite killed the boss with no other statuses, and we had no drones either (except for like 1 healing drone) and we didnt get the completion

[lavish jacinth]

not really, that unlock just sucks and is incredibly finicky

lunar ruin has a very slow, weak DoT that can sometimes steal the kill, but other times the achievement just straight up doesn't register

buffs Auri's dps a little which can help, but if the game doesn't feel like giving you the unlock then there's not much you can do unfortunately

if you're on PC I'd honestly just say use the realercheatunlocks mod to unlock it

[mystic rock]

well that sounds like a pain, but thx for the info

[formal adder]

will using artifact of swarms help?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[formal adder]

ok

[lavish jacinth]

more drops on average and weaker enemies are easier to kill with AoE items

[formal adder]

do the drops have a time limit before disappearing?

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[formal adder]

ah cool. guess i can afk easily

[real plaza]

how can you tell if the encrypted portal will send you to the conduit canyon vs straight to the solus wing?

[jaunty furnace]

conduit is a stage 4

if youre coming from a stage 4, youll go to solus

if youre coming from a stage 3, youll go to conduit

[slender bough]

Question Did they buff the spawn rate of the TC-280 bc I got 4 in stage 3

[glacial knoll]

if you're using dlc3 it's actually like 44% to 66% rarer

[slender bough]

damn TC looks like common gear now how often it appears

[real plaza]

is there like a visual indicator on the portal, cause im looping

[jaunty furnace]

indicator for what

[real plaza]

like does the portal look different if it will take you to the wing vs the canyon?

[jaunty furnace]

no

[real plaza]

can anyone help me figure out what 2 hidden realm log books im missing?

[rough stone]

is voidsent flame is good on commando? or should i just keep my will o wisps

[frosty reef]

It's good if you need the aoe. Just remember you can always scrap wisp but not flame

[frozen mantle]

can you get the halcyon seed using command artifact after getting it once?

[slim spoke]

yes.

i think.

[jaunty furnace]

character doesnt really matter

pick it up if you desperately need damage/aoe

the downside is that you lose possible scrap and wisp craft recipes

and fmp potential i guess

if you dont care about those then sure you can grab it

its pretty powerful

[lavish jacinth]

It won't show up in the command menu for regular boss items if that's what you mean. You'll still have to kill aurelionite to get it

[lime cobalt]

Do I need to be in multiplayer to do the pressure plates in stage 2?

[hidden wasp]

so fax kinda said this but theres multiple types of pools of some colors, for example the halcyon seed is a special yellow tier so you cant command into it unless it was a halcyon seed. This patterns why theres technically three tiers of void items and you cant get like benthic when it was a wungus that was seeded to drop.

[hidden wasp]

sometimes the pots spawn on top of a plate, if so find the other and stand on it, if not you can place a turret as engineer on the plates, or roll one of the pots onto a plate.

[lime cobalt]

Thank you for your help !!!

[hidden wasp]

np

captain may also be able to hold them down with beacons? not sure about that

[lavish jacinth]

, captain beacons, loaders pylon, and drifters scrap cube can also press plates pretty easily

technically you can also use and hope that it spawns a lunar coin on top of the button, but that method is horrible lol

[lime cobalt]

That sounds so specific

[hidden wasp]

oh i should also suggestan alternative, you can slam through the door if need by and you're fast enough/ have the right skills

[lavish jacinth]

it is, but it does work

[lavish jacinth]

iirc the lems don't spawn unless you open the door correctly

[lime cobalt]

I'll give these a try, thank you all

[hidden wasp]

oh they used to

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, that was fixed a while ago

[hidden wasp]

geniunely confused now

that was before I got the game I think i got it after full release and i swear ive skipped the doors

[lavish jacinth]

I'm pretty sure it's not possible

[hidden wasp]

I might just be wrong about when i got it

[dire wagon]

yo my game just wont start up even tho its in vanilla and not modded anyone else having same issue?

[frigid folio]

How do people feel about operator's alt skills? Is the shift worth it at all when its competing with a great mobility tool?

[lavish jacinth]

alt m2 is the only one I'd say is actually bad, it's super janky and imo it's only worth using if you hate that every drone has a different ability and just want them all to do the same thing

[vapid grail]

wait has a chance of spawning a lunar coin???? And the doll itself doesn't count for the plate?

[lavish jacinth]

I'm not sure what the general consensus is for the other two but I think they're fine, I need to play with amp core more tho. The shield has a good amount of utility and can still be used for a little bit of movement

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, it just counts as a generic kill, and spawning a coin is treated as a generic kill effect

[vapid grail]

therefore it counts towards your "kills" at the post game scoreboard?

[lavish jacinth]

probably, I've never actually checked lol

[wary tangle]

If I get the functional coupler it won’t use the passive effects of unless I have it held out. Does this work with the fuel array as well to bypass the 50% health explosion?

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[proud ingot]

Is Protein Heavy Diet possible without Command

all of my attempts so far have been 2+ hours and end with me either dying because 90% of my inventory is scrap or my game crashing because I never see a printer I need and the particle effects take over

[lavish jacinth]

it's possible, but getting health-multiplying items is pretty much mandatory, don't bother trying to do it with steak and infusion

is the big one, but pearls and growth nectar help too

I think longstanding solitude technically also works, but only if you pair it with another health multiplier

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/False_Son:_Protein_Heavy_Diet

spinel tonic also gives +50% health, dunno why that's not on there

[mellow crystal]

alt m2 is somewhat worse and janky to use, alt util is surprisingly good but can't compete with the mobility of default, alt special is strictly worse

[proud ingot]

Needing to stack several of an item that gives -50% move speed, especially on False Son

[lavish jacinth]

he is literally the best survivor to use it lol

he gains movement speed for every spent lunar spike

it's probably still best to save that one for last though

you need 8048 bonus health total

[real plaza]

what is the hidden realm underneath the neural sanctum in the log book its one of the ony things im missing

Also is there an easy way to get "that all you got" on operator or am i just not undertanding the ability or something?

[slim spoke]

What was that about again?

[real plaza]

oop i was just dumb, its kill 4 different enimy types with one of his basic shot

[slim spoke]

h

[frozen mantle]

thanks i still didnt get glided coast after 6 tries

[marble magnet]

Is there a way to delete run history in console? I genuinely think it's the sole reason why it's taking longer to open the logbook

Like I get looking back on past runs but Im sorry I don't need to look at a failed run on June 12th 2025 I'm gonna be so real 💔

[mental canyon]

hey this question might hav been asked alot of time but on 4th mithrix phase do you get ur item efet when they go ou tof mithrix or when you get them in ur inventory

[jaunty furnace]

not sure i understand the question

you get your items back when they finish coming back towards you

[mental canyon]

okay so do you have any idea on how he died in this clip?

thanks

[jaunty furnace]

guessing railgunner hit him with a band

[mental canyon]

that what we think but no band was retunred to him

before the shot

and no rocket too

guillotine do not apply on him i believe

[jaunty furnace]

hm

[mental canyon]

and the attack that consume 8% of his health he not enough to kill him

[jaunty furnace]

maybe its just pure railgunner absurdity

[mental canyon]

oh i just thought on something

thinking back to this

might be the item that redirect 10% of damage on a duration of time

nah would make no sens since the solus where attacking him

maybe just railgunner absurdity ig

[glacial knoll]

Kjaros band is the first item the railer gets in the clip

[agile pulsar]

lets say theres a chest right on spawn and no other chests nearby, do you just wait until you have the 25g?

just standing around doing nothing

[high forum]

no, just go walk around and kill stuff and come back

[daring summit]

what about MUL T?

[lavish jacinth]

Works with him too, but you have to do it in multiplayer because he doesn't have a drop pod

[rapid current]

if one person kills mitrix with their aurelionite does the skill go to everyone playing false son in the lobby

[lavish jacinth]

It only goes to the player whose auri got the kill

[amber swan]

but dont all the halycon seeds merge together in phase 4?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, I'm not sure how it tracks who "owns" auri, it may just be the first person who picked up a halcyon seed

[real plaza]

when you use the radar scanner do the radar dishes pop up as "?" symbols?

[ripe drum]

How do i get to the upper circles in scorched acre? i dont have too many mobility options

[jaunty furnace]

bounce pads

[wary tangle]

Is it better to keep Ifrit’s distinction or the seed of life? I’m playing with artifact of glass so seed of life is very significant if I die, but Ifrit’s distinction is a rare drop and helps to boost my damage.

[livid wedge]

Ifrit

[wary tangle]

Ok

[peak holly]

You need more damage with artifact of glass?

I say seed of life

[livid wedge]

Yeah, my answer was skewed

[peak holly]

Ifrit is doing piss all damage overall if you are playing with artifact of glass

[proud ingot]

I don't know if this is a known problem, a freak coincidence, or just my computer not being strong enough, but I tried using Operator's Override to make a Transport Drone pick up a Void Barnacle and it made bad things happen

Like "my game is freaking out and I need to close out the run before it crashes" things

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, that's a very known bug

using a transport drone on a stationary enemy destroys the game

[proud ingot]

Well I'm glad I learned now, on stage 2 of a new run, rather than 40+ minutes into an actual attempt haha

[daring cloak]

This will be patched with the next update

Cause its already fixed on the switch version

[lavish jacinth]

yep, just gotta wait for dlc4

[half eagle]

so my profile with 230 hours on it got corrupted. is there any way to fix it or am i just sol? i’m not great with files or honestly anything computer related i might as well be a boomer but i looked where it said “bad profiles” in the game files and it said “root element is missing” is there anyway to fix this??

[lavish jacinth]

I don't know if it's possible to fix corrupted files, but you can at least get your progress back with the realercheatunlocks mod

[half eagle]

gotcha. guess i’m learning how to mod lol. does having mods like that make it so you can’t get achievements?

[lavish jacinth]

nope, mods don't prevent anything, and they're super easy to install. https://thunderstore.io/ download and install r2modman first, then just look up the mod you want and hit "install with mod manager", r2modman will do the rest

[half eagle]

nice nice. thank you

[mellow kestrel]

Hey is there any way to guarantee a gold portal to unlock false son without praying to rng

[jaunty furnace]

no

just check bazaar as often as possible

gilded coast has a good chance of appearing in its seers

[upbeat lava]

Maybe it’s just because I’m new but it feels like each run is completely random and having a good run feels so luck based. Any advice?

[little stump]

you could try the artifact of command

[jaunty furnace]

theres usually a bunch of tools at your disposal to help steer your build in the right direction

like scrappers, printers, or simply trishops

theres also a couple of equipment items that help you obtain better items ( and are from dlc1 though)

theres many little macro strategies for obtaining more and better items, i dont really have a list on me though

big thing i need to recommend is getting all the items you can, dont skip chests or shrines because "youre taking too long"

(but obviously avoid lunar items that will ruin your run)

[marble magnet]

does DLC go for both versions (PS5/PS4) if I bought the dlc on ps5?

[granite oxide]

is there a way to get rid of lunar items if u dont want them anymore, ofc without starting a run ovr

[marble magnet]

Cleansing pools

Only found on certain stages but yes

You get rewarded in pearls or the rare irridiant pearl

[granite oxide]

ok where?

[marble magnet]

Uhh I don't know the exact stages lemme find the wiki for cleansing pools

[granite oxide]

ok

[marble magnet]

Cleansing Pool - Risk of Rain 2 Wiki https://share.google/YFJwXm84rDiBdQNI7

[lavish jacinth]

Wtf is that link

And it goes to the fandom wiki

[marble magnet]

Is there a wiki.gg

? 😭

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, we abandoned the fandom wiki a couple years ago now

[marble magnet]

Tbh I didn't realise I wish Google didn't push fandom to the top so id actually get good websites

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, Google sucks. I think if you search for ror2 stuff it still occasionally brings you to the old ror1 wiki that hasn't been updated since like 2019

Or other useless websites, basically anything but the wiki we actually use lol

[misty crow]

hi guys i just started playing again. to unlock bandit you have to beat the 3rd teleporter event without dying?

[velvet quiver]

yea

[misty crow]

oh ok and is seeker good for someone getting back into the game

[velvet quiver]

shi might be the most op one ngl 💀

[misty crow]

bettt, i played with railgunner and was getting clapped ngl

but i know railgunner is top tier, just isn't my playstyle

[subtle flame]

anyone encountering a bug where the game just has no audio at all?

[keen sparrow]

So... question. How rare is it to summon an Overloading Worm?
What's the best way to (almost) garuntee it to spawn?

[lavish jacinth]

they're a late-game enemy, so the best way to see one is to just keep looping. On monsoon they typically show up on stage 8 or 9, lower difficulties take longer

another option is to use artifact of prestige, since you can get them to spawn earlier by stacking mountain shrines

[keen sparrow]

I just feel burnt out with RNG locking a Commando ability behind a super rare boss spawn

[lavish jacinth]

They aren't too uncommon once you get to the point where they can actually spawn tbh. If you go for the 20 stages with no lunars unlock, you'll almost definitely see one along the way unless you're playing on drizzle

[keen sparrow]

I think I've tried with Monsoon in the past, but still could never get 'em

maybe my RNG is just horrible specifically

[lavish jacinth]

maybe

[wispy wyvern]

loop or luck out and get like 3 mountain shrines on stage 5

[keen sparrow]

Are there any Artifacts that might help my chances?

[lavish jacinth]

^

and ofc command/sac/swarms are useful as ever just to minimize rng

don't take Honor, overloading worms aren't actually an elite despite their name. I'm not sure if Dissonance would help, in my experience it does more harm than good when trying to find a specific enemy

the wiki lists the maps they spawn on, if that helps https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Overloading_Worm

[keen sparrow]

I need to get back on grinding the Artifacts

I swear I unlocked 'em all in the past, but idk

[lavish jacinth]

it's possible you did, they've added more over time

devotion, delusion, rebirth and prestige are all new

[livid wedge]

Prestige would probably help getting overloading worm, honestly

[jaunty furnace]

download indiewikibuddy

[lavish jacinth]

I think prestige is your best bet if you want to minimize rng, yeah. 5+ mountain shrines on stage 5 is almost guaranteed to be a worm

you can also redo the trial of prestige, they can spawn in bulwarks' ambry

(you might wanna disable SotS for that, based on the wiki it doesn't look like they can spawn in all of the bulwarks variants that it adds, but you can always get them in the base version)

[keen sparrow]

So...

How do I decrypt the "Encrypted Cerebellum"

[lavish jacinth]

give it to the chef and combine it with another item, behind spex to the left. There are a few items that'll work with it, preferably sentry key or prison matrix but rusted or encrusted key work too

also empathy cores or orphaned core

[cobalt herald]

can i get the skin for beating the game on monsoon by ending the game after false son?

[lavish jacinth]

any ending counts as long as it's on monsoon difficulty

[cobalt herald]

ok cool, thanks

[spark cypress]

What about unknown fates?

[livid wedge]

Basically, as long as the game doesn't end as Defeat

Or detained

[tulip tapir]

I wanted to know who has the highest healing received, I just learned new tech with drifter and gained 100quadrillion, gonna grind till I get 1000.

the old engineer tech is pennies compared to drifter

[lavish jacinth]

I don't think anyone's been keeping track, lol

[tulip tapir]

yeah I was told that, idk why but I thought there would be a leader board, but ppl can easily cheat

[lavish jacinth]

Maybe someone does, but there isn't like an official one that I'm aware of. And yeah, it'd be incredibly easy to just use debugtoolkit to get whatever number you want, and idk how you'd prove that it's real

[agile pulsar]

can you loop to beat solus wings etc? or do you NEED to do it on loop 0

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, you can fight it after looping

[livid wedge]

You can loop

[agile pulsar]

I was thinking how insane itd be to unlock sautued worm or whatever its called loop 0 💀

[mellow crystal]

I mean if you manage to get charged perforator before stage 5 then you're probably set already

[agile pulsar]

overloaded worm on stage 4 moment

[trim lynx]

capacitor atg

[agile pulsar]

is there free cam mod or something similar? for learning the maps I mean. because I still dont understand the layout of something like abyss depths conceptually

[lavish jacinth]

debugtoolkit is probably the mod you want, you can just go to the stage you want and fly around with noclip and godmode

[agile pulsar]

thanks!

[mellow crystal]

Photomode

[south egret]

that's not too difficult, if you pay attention to bazaar cauldrons or use credit card/scrapper effectively

[agile pulsar]

???? what the actual fuck happened 💀 Im so mad

what the actual fuck happened 💀 💀 im so mad

I dont get it

getting killed by an invisible something? with OSP on

[tight basalt]

the void jailers usually release a black hole thing that follows you when they die but yours was invisible it seems

the black hole always one shots you

[agile pulsar]

through OSP?

[tight basalt]

🤷‍♂️ i guess

[agile pulsar]

awesome 🙂 -2 hours of trying to unlock false son alt attacks

[lavish jacinth]

void implosions don't care about osp or any form of defense. If they hit you, you get deleted

but yeah, that was definitely a bug, rip

you can hear the implosion about to happen but the visual just... isn't there

[formal adder]

so for mercenery which is better?Mocha or soldiers syringe?

[lavish jacinth]

mocha

more movement speed will also increase the length of his dash

[formal adder]

oh i didnt know that, i was thinking mostly about eviscerate

[hardy axle]

anyone know why i keep crashing every time i go to commencement???? my recently installed mods (that i didnt uninstall) are just skin mods so they shouldnt be bricking it, and i uninstalled all the ones that go deeper than that

[lavish jacinth]

Have you tried in vanilla? A skin mod shouldn't affect anything but mods can be weird sometimes

And it never hurts to verify game files if you haven't already

[hardy axle]

i dont really wanna do a full vanilla run 😭

but ill verify i forgor to do that

its really confusing me because im not even USING any of the new skin mods rn

the only new mod ive installed thats even like, in use rn is one that adds the lets go gambling sounds to chance shrines 😭

[lavish jacinth]

Even still, just having mods enabled at all can affect the game. I'd be really surprised if that's what's causing it but still

[hardy axle]

im so mad i didnt copy the file with my changed item names so i lost them all -.-

well its one of the damn mods, thats annoying

[copper wigeon]

What are the best items for a bandit main (me)

[spark cypress]

Probably a crowbar

[worldly olive]

Its not the worst to get it preloop

Tbh I spent longer getting Ultimate Meals Log than Worms

[lavish jacinth]

Bandit is flexible proc items are good with his primary and his special is great for bands and crowbar. Crit synergy items are also obviously great

[slender bough]

Does somebody know where I could get these items or what they are at all?

[glacial knoll]

Computatioal Exchange Meal Preperation Station

[slender bough]

I see thank you for the information

https://klipy.com/gifs/breaking-bad-walter-white-104

[fervent rivet]

quick question for anyone who is doing/has done masteries before, which route is easier?
1️⃣ for moon
2️⃣ for obliteration

[sage relic]

depends on items and character

[scenic orbit]

I’d generally say obliteration but moon is more fun imo

[jaunty furnace]

obliterate is just easier

looping makes the game easy and you get no final boss

if you want an actual challenge, go to moon

[fervent rivet]

alright then thanks for the help

[gentle ruin]

Anyone have advice for improving aim with railgunner? I’m having a hard time adjusting to the new flying enemies (ie solus scorcher)

[daring cloak]

Its mostly down to practice but you could also change the aim sensitivity in the gameplay settings

[lavish jacinth]

it might be easier if you quickscope, ie. line up the shot in third person and zoom in as you shoot

[gentle ruin]

I had no idea that’s what quickscoping meant, that’s gonna help a lot. I do hardscope way more than I should, I didn’t think there was another option. Thank you!

[sullen basin]

does acrid sprint tech activate wungus faster or no?

[lavish jacinth]

wungus activates the instant you start sprinting

[sullen basin]

but is the healing rate faster than normally sprinting and moving continuously vs the back and forth activation of sprinting with acrid's m1 tech?

[lavish jacinth]

no, wungus heals at a fixed rate

[sullen basin]

oh oki

[normal pewter]

What could that have been? I killed the boss after activating the portal. I wanted to activate it, and suddenly a beam from the sky appeared and killed me in one hit. It said: “Killed by the planet!”

[lavish jacinth]

do you have a recording of it? or any other details of what happened?

"killed by the planet" is just a generic death message for when the thing that killed you doesn't have a specific name, usually environmental damage

you also see it if you die to the tick damage from warped echo iirc

so the "beam from the sky" could've been from a xi construct spawning above you or something, although the laser isn't usually a oneshot. Or it was something else that hit you and triggered wecho

[flat gulch]

Chat r the dlcs worth buying? And if so which order should I get them in?

[jaunty furnace]

go in release order

[flat gulch]

And do you think they add enough to the game to warrant buying?

[jaunty furnace]

yes

if you just bought the game, you dont need dlcs immediately

have fun with what you have and when you want more add more

[flat gulch]

Yeah that was my plan, I only bought it like 5 days ago. Got around 20 hours rn

Thanks for th3 help 🤍

[wintry fjord]

Why is it called risk of rain

Why is precipitation likely

[flat gulch]

Idk, I guess you get wet when you play or smth? 😭 🙏

[wintry fjord]

~~ I do get wet to bandit ~~

[flat gulch]

LMAO. Real

[flat gulch]

(Merc better)

[ivory bolt]

hi, can someone help me in risk of rain 2 please

i played 15 hours or more and i think i dont understand some things in this game

[flat gulch]

I dont have much more but I'm happy to try and help

[lavish jacinth]

what do you need help with?

[ivory bolt]

because i dont understand some mecanics or some character in the game

[lavish jacinth]

well, what is it specifically that you don't understand

[ivory bolt]

what it is eclipse?

[lavish jacinth]

it's an alternate game mode, basically an extra hard mode that adds more difficulty modifiers every time you win

[ivory bolt]

what can i do if the other players steal the objects i buy?

[lavish jacinth]

not a whole lot, try to find better teammates lol

we have lfg channels here, that's usually better than playing with randoms. #lfg-pc-ror2 or whatever platform you're on

[ivory bolt]

thanks, but i am from spain and is going to be difficult play with other with the same language

do you know some videos i should wath if i want to play better?

[lavish jacinth]

https://riskofresources.com/guides

bleh, server bots got mad

was gonna say that the ror2 wiki is really useful too, make sure you use wiki.gg and not the fandom one

[ivory bolt]

is platinum this game possible? i think is imposible

[lavish jacinth]

absolutely

some of the achievements are pretty difficult, but completely possible

[ivory bolt]

the difficulty of this game is insane

[lavish jacinth]

you get used to it

protip, try to fully loot every stage and don't rush straight to the teleporter. A lot of new players make that mistake

[jaunty furnace]

dont play multiplayer with randoms

just do solo or private multiplayer with friends

public wont lead to much cooperation

[ivory bolt]

i play with one friend who keep buy almost all the object for example in the end of the secon map i only have 5 or object but he have 12 or 13 or more

the boss kill me very quick

[jaunty furnace]

tell your friend to stop bein a bitch

[ivory bolt]

jajjajajaj

i hope i can find someone want play with me in steam and tech me some things about the game

or help me in some archivements

[lavish jacinth]

well, this channel is a good resource if there's anything you wanna know, there are a lot of veteran players who hang out in here pretty often

[ivory bolt]

thanks

i appreciate your words

[onyx plume]

for mult retool double rebar puncher loadout, does atk speed have any impact on it?

also wondering what niche items are good on that loadout

[lavish jacinth]

only the first syringe does anything, it doesn't scale with attack speed past that

and I can't think of anything that's specifically good with double rebar, you kinda just build procs like you normally would for mul-t. Maybe not bleed though

[onyx plume]

im playing with a operator duo friend and have been running power mode double nailguns

realizing that it won't be viable in higher eclipses so tryna figure out how i can do retool rebar and itemize

[lavish jacinth]

powermode is definitely viable in eclipse lol

[onyx plume]

theres just too much mobs especially with the battery looking mfs who spawn little shitballs

[lavish jacinth]

it's the same amount of mobs you'd normally have, they're just faster

double nail powermode actually beats double rebar for dps iirc, you just have to be a little smarter about when you use it. Plus you get extra mobility for nailboosting

like you can run whatever you want, I'm just saying

[onyx plume]

honestly i would much prefer retool rebar because i feel like its gonna be much more consistent

btw how does operator itemize? any comparable similarities in existing survivors?

[lavish jacinth]

he's basically the same as commando

[sturdy lily]

is lights out or desperado better for bandit

[lavish jacinth]

desperado

[sturdy lily]

aye aye

[onyx plume]

hmm perhaps mult and operator duo isn't the best in terms of itemization then lol

[lavish jacinth]

maybe not, but you can probably still make it work

[south egret]

depends on your playstyle, but on average desperado

I personally like lights out a lot

[left forge]

Desperado >>>>lights out unfortunately

[south egret]

lightly disagree

desperado is better for early scaling, but +60% base damage on one skill on kill falls off kinda hard

also it resets on stage exit. If that weren't there, it would immediately be twice or thrice as good

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, so does a cooldown reset on a survivor that already has short cooldowns, especially with later enemies that won't reliably die to it

desperado can still scale fairly well on late stages if you play around it, and even if you don't it's still just more damage in general

when desperado falls off it's usually because you have a lot of procs stealing its kills, not because it isn't doing enough damage

[jaunty furnace]

why do you think double nail isnt viable

[versed gale]

hi, where i can find a tier list item ( normal,lunar,void) for every character pls?

[jaunty furnace]

no

[left forge]

Lights out is CDR for a survivor with very short skill CD outside of very niche movement tech.
It's just better to have a scaling burst damage skill that scales throughout the looting phase than just proccing CDR on a movement skill with 3 seconds (minimum) downtime

[trim lynx]

it reloads primary, secondary and itself

they are both pretty nice skills

[formal adder]

so I get more drops in higher stages right? if thats the case then how do i keep looping stages? And how do I get an extra turrent for engineer?

[twilit flint]

to loop u have a few options,
easiest is to turn the prongs of the primordial teleporter by going to the edge of the teleporter before activating it, itll say " aligns with the planet",
or u can enter a blue portal and skip the stage,
or u can do ambrys thru the compound generator
or u can do false son through the golden portal

[north granite]

You only ever get more loot if you're using artifact of sacrifice/sonorous whispers since there's more enemies that can drop items

[twilit flint]

to get an extra turret with engineer u need a lysate cell, the void equivalent of a fuel cell, which is sometimes worth but it only stacks till a max of 3 turrets so after the first one its not worth, however it doesn let u spam turrets if one dies real quick

i dont always take it tho cos fuel cell on some equipment is like phewww

[north granite]

From enemies*

You get chest loot still but it'll be same amount as the rest of the stages

[twilit flint]

what do u specify by drops

cos gold yes and xp marginally higher but

chesta and shrines dont matter cos the credits for the director stay the same across all levels for the same stage

[formal adder]

i play with command and sacrifice so i meant by the item drops from mibs

[north granite]

^

[twilit flint]

boom

i dont get that command life but each to thier own

[north granite]

I usually just play default monsoon, maybe with the random white item from rebirth artifact

[twilit flint]

swarm and sacrifice are pretty good together

[north granite]

I p much play the artifact because the little providence face on the corner of the screen is cute :)
