With the monster spawns in the teleporter event

dull ingot
#

That's true

#

For both things

chrome hedge
#

elite Hordes of Many on Sky Meadow are often more deadly than regular boss spawns.

eager badger
#

^

#

I'd rather fight 10 worms

dull ingot
#

ye elders and the uh, bells can suck cap's 3 balls

eager badger
#

Than 4 overloading parents

dark lichen
#

where can I find info about what items to stack at what point? I know most of the white ones but I dont know which green items to stack except ATG

dull ingot
#

you could just play the game

dark lichen
#

i do play the game

eager badger
#

And check the logbook

tepid wolf
#

The game once spawned like 5-6 templars and a dunestruder in the teleporter event on acres

dark lichen
#

some items have logarithmic stuff some stack linear

tepid wolf
#

Got machinegunned to death

dull ingot
#

all items stack pretty usefully

#

except like

tepid wolf
#

Except corpsebloom

dull ingot
#

lol

dark lichen
#

not really, some items dont worth stacking after some point

dull ingot
#

if you have 10 of anything it's time to move on

thorny sorrel
#

i need to make sure

eager badger
#

Guillotines use the same formula as teddy bears

thorny sorrel
#

stage 4 mithrix

dark lichen
#

like stacking crit past %100 not worth

eager badger
#

Kinda

dull ingot
#

it's better to have 1 of each item than 100 of 3 items

thorny sorrel
#

takes items from right to left and gives it back from the first item he took or the last item?

eager badger
#

Actually no

#

Here is my list of 100 of 3 items

#

100 wisps

#

100 atgs

#

100 clovers

#

Lmao

dull ingot
#

no damage for the initial kill

eager badger
#

Atg

dull ingot
#

hmmm ya i guess

#

what makes them shoot?

eager badger
#

100 clovers will guarantee the ATG proc on any hit lmao

dull ingot
#

nice

eager badger
#

Dealing damage with anything that has a proc coefficient

dull ingot
#

ah ye just on hit

rustic otter
#

you don't even want to do ten crit glasses, stop at nine

dull ingot
#

i wonder if more items will act like bands or not

eager badger
#

Only thing that can't proc an atg is another atg

dull ingot
#

why stop at 9 when you can stop at 8

eager badger
#

91 crit gang

#

Lmao

rustic otter
#

since harvester's and pred boost it by 5

#

don't want to waste that sweet sweet bonus 5

dull ingot
#

does that stack too?

#

Nah

#

unfortunate

pearl hedge
#

big brain time: 6 glasses, scythe, pred and a single clover

thorny sorrel
#

aaaah i can't beat phase 4

dull ingot
storm fern
#

Hey what builds are really fun to do with command artifact ?

tepid wolf
#

Use your imagination

eager badger
#

I've heard wisp stacking can get wild

tepid wolf
#

Managed to do a n'kuhana's opinion build on engi for example

#

It was a machinegun of skulls

storm fern
#

I did fmp gasoline willowisp gestures

#

It was insane

tepid wolf
#

You can also become unkillable with an elephant with a bunch if fuel cells and a gesture

#

Since you can take even huge hits later on

storm fern
#

Looks legit yeah

tepid wolf
#

Also aegis and shield gens can make you tanky as hell

#

Manged to get 30k+ HP that way as engi

worldly hatch
#

Oof this game without friends to play with is boring AF. :/

storm fern
#

Like a hedgehog game play with razorwires and lot of regeneration

tepid wolf
#

Risk of rain 2 is pretty fun solo

chrome hedge
#

After doing Eclipse 7 + 8 with Purity Huntress, I think Purity gets a little too much hate.

storm fern
#

The game is really fun alone too

worldly hatch
#

Dunno, I tried a few rounds and it's basically grinding the same stuff.

tepid wolf
#

It's a dopamine rush power trip

worldly hatch
#

How do you guys enjoy it alone? o-o

tepid wolf
#

A few rounds

storm fern
#

Like with friends its always better but the game is kinda fun

tepid wolf
#

Yes you die a lot earlier on

chrome hedge
#

@worldly hatch I enjoy solving a problem quickly, which is sort of what Eclipse mode demands.

tepid wolf
#

Then you learn the game's ins and outs and start doing really well

chrome hedge
#

yeah the game is random, but you can also supplant your runs with lots of less random things

tepid wolf
#

A lot of people play in groups here btw

storm fern
#

And just farm success if you want an objective

tepid wolf
#

And the players are usually willing to help your learn

chrome hedge
#

after completing Eclipse 8 I need to get my Lunar Coin count back up again...

worldly hatch
#

Dunno, I keep having a hard time to find those teleports to the stage it's just boring

tepid wolf
#

The teleports have yellow particles around them

storm fern
#

Look for particles

#

Its a huge help

tepid wolf
#

Later on the the runs become a dopamine filled power trip

worldly hatch
#

Hmmm, what do they look like?

tepid wolf
#

Yellow orbs

chrome hedge
#

or in the case of Sky Meadow, it's a light blue which can be hard to distinguish against the sky

tepid wolf
#

Just look at any god runs

worldly hatch
#

yellow orbs that fly towards it?

storm fern
#

Red yellow flying orbs around teleperter

worldly hatch
#

Are they anywhere on the map or just by the Teleporter tho

dull ingot
#

aren't they orange?

tepid wolf
#

Each stage has a few possible teleporter locations

worldly hatch
#

Hmm. I just tried joining someones match, when do I respawn?

tired axle
#

it's currently bugged

chrome hedge
#

you don't. If the game started already you can only spectate

tired axle
#

you can't respawn

worldly hatch
#

Oh wow, that's..... making joining stupid useless. LOL are devs confused?

tepid wolf
#

You can go to #lfg-pc-ror2 (or whaterwer you play on) to play with people

#

Randos in quickplay are not always the best since it lacks communication

chrome hedge
#

TBF, allowing people to join mid game with no items would be a bad time for the poeple in there

#

Once you know to look for them, it becomes second nature. Though do remember Sky Meadow's teleporter uses light blue particles.

frosty terrace
#

anyone else notice the test branch had new music? Some tracks were not playing and they fixed it or something?

#

sky meadow for example had new teleporter music

#

and when I stayed on distant roost for a long time, it sounded like another track started playing, or like 2 tracks were playing on top of each other

#

around 4-5min

eager badger
#

Yeah some songs weren't playing since 1.0

#

Specifically the game was playing Koppen as fuck in Sky Meadows instead of Antarctic oscillation

frosty terrace
#

I need to test the distant roost thing again, but I did not dislike the sudden change in music. It was like getting more intense the longer I spent on the level

#

which I think is good to make the player get a little stressed when taking a long time on a level

#

also what the hell? πŸ˜„ first item, for free as well. Seems like a good start

spare valve
#

shame that basically doesnt help captain

#

lets you spam m2 i guess

tired axle
#

you can spam the shift

spare valve
#

duh

#

nvm

frosty terrace
#

yeah orbital strikes for days

tired axle
#

you'll probably break your fingers in the progress tho

spare valve
#

yeah thats alot of shift + 3 clicks

frosty terrace
#

ror2 breaks your fingers anyway so all good

#

as captain, later on with massive attack speed you need to spam m1 like nuts

dull ingot
#

get your runs in before the captain nerf

worldly hatch
#

if i die during a coop game can i be revived?

subtle crag
#

@worldly hatch not Necessarily revived but yes once you’re friends or group finish a Level you will be revived I’m pretty sure if you die in a coop the only thing you lose is more items

neon ore
#

The only way to be revived is to advance to a new level, or if you have a legendary item called, "Dios Best friend". Otherwise you cannot be revived

worldly hatch
#

I see, thanks for your help πŸ™‚

placid bloom
eager badger
#

Well done lad

severe citrus
#

Congrats

placid bloom
#

i kept trying with acrid, kept dying on stage 3/4ish, then tried twice? thrice? on captain and cleared it no problem

#

it feels like acrid really needs specific shit to ensure his lategame transition

severe citrus
#

I love captain, his Micro bot makes brass contraptions slightly less terrifying

placid bloom
#

it also makes the artifact realm less of a pain

#

i actually on the previous stage before celestial portal kind of brain farted, thought i fucked myself by taking Strides of Heresy cuz my brain was still in Acrid mode

#

ended up saving my ass in the rallypoint delta tunnel where magma worms spawned with malachite/celestine packs

#

but thankfully i gambled picking up the ci beetle item

#

now i think i can officially start joining monsoon mp runs lol

dull ingot
placid bloom
#

still not sure how i managed to survive getting steak and multiple squids at the start, no crowbar either

eager badger
#

Steak good

#

Early game

placid bloom
#

ye earlygame lel. also that stun grenade stack

#

i should look up how they scale

#

oh, 25% with 5, thats actually ok

#

i thought it would be a higher value for one then diminish significantly after

#

like 1 for 25%

frosty terrace
#

I died because I stopped to take a screenshot, bleed stacks from imps oof

neon dagger
#

The price of vanity.

thorny sorrel
#

Which class is the best to beat mithrix on on monsoon?

neon dagger
#

Probably Artificer. Good damage without relying on items too much, and Ion Surge hover means he can't hit you with any attack.

#

Aside from the needles, but that's not too big of an issue.

thorny sorrel
#

I can't even reach mithrix with artificer because her damage goes to shit so fast

frosty terrace
thorny sorrel
#

tri tip

tired axle
#

i'd go for glasses

neon dagger
#

Can't say I agree, but hmmm... Engineer maybe? The turrets don't lose items on stage 4 and you can kite him around them.

supple sierra
#

its pretty good for the utility

frosty terrace
#

bleed is so much damage, I feel like it beats 10% increase from glasses

#

also there's a tritip printer on this level

thorny sorrel
#

Engi gets fucked by him aswell. the turrets were instantly nuked and his lack of mobility meant he just two shot me

#

get 7 then

#

the power of bleed is unstoppable

#

especially since captain has a shotgun

neon dagger
#

How about huntress, then? If you have Ballista unlocked.

static frigate
#

engineer & tritip on mithrix is a good way to power through the final phase

frosty terrace
#

shotgun has 0.75 proc rate so I think I need 12

neon dagger
#

Good mobility to dodge his attacks.

thorny sorrel
#

Yeah i've tried huntress

tired axle
#

huntress is also pretty good

#

just don't use ballista while a lunar wisp is alive

thorny sorrel
#

honestly the biggest issue with mithrix is that you have a constant fight between mobility and damage

tired axle
#

that ended my run

thorny sorrel
#

you either dodge everything and take 30 min of constant fire to get through phase one

#

or die to a two hit

neon dagger
#

Items you get play a big role, some runs are just basically doomed.

#

Probably just play whoever you're most comfortable with. Though I'd stay away from someone like Merc

rocky gate
neon ore
#

Mobility is king, you will always die 2 hits from mithrix unless you dodge. The longer you stay in the fight the beeter chance you jave at winning

thorny sorrel
#

I mean i always just get killed on phase 4

tired axle
#

tbh merc isn't that bad on mithrix

#

i think loader has way more problems

neon dagger
#

A bit on that, this is a bit of an outlier, but I have done runs with MUL-T and some tanky items. I could actually just straight up facetank him.
For phase 4, your best bet is to just burst him down as he's stealing your items.

neon ore
#

You need to either nuke him or play at a distance, close range is suicide especially with multiple players

#

Kite him around the pillars or on the sloped ramps he wont climb

thorny sorrel
#

he climbs the sloped ramps

neon ore
#

Foe bursting him you have to go to loop 2 or 3 because you will have so many items it takes longer to steal

thorny sorrel
#

I hate that stone titan can 360 laser you

chrome hedge
#

Stone Titan is rather flexible, being able to to fire a laser facing away from you between the legs and all.

thorny sorrel
#

Stone titan is probably the boss i died most to

chrome hedge
#

yeah with Stone Titan and Vagrant cover to hide behind is necessary

thorny sorrel
#

sadly it tends to catch me into the open or when i have speed

frosty terrace
#

oof

long fern
#

overloading elder lemurian makes me want to die

frosty terrace
#

captain can delete some of their projectiles, but one got through and was enough to nearly one shot me

long fern
#

and it also quickly fulfills my request

frosty terrace
#

I was just under the one shot protection range

long fern
#

I got hit by two fireballs in a quick succession so one shot protection didnt matter in my case

#

fun enemy

frosty terrace
#

yeah

#

like I could handle ANY other boss in that run

#

but horde of many elder lemurians? just kills any run

#

captain without too many movement speed items can't dodge all of it or outrun them

thorny sorrel
#

i wonder which monster killed me the most

frosty terrace
#

stone golem still holds #1 spot, those blazing stone golems can overwhelm you

thorny sorrel
#

well made it to the boss at least

#

lets hope for the best

frosty terrace
#

good luck

#

just stay off the ground, you should be good

thorny sorrel
#

yeah

#

i hope so. i hope i wont get one shot or something

#

Do the spinny ground attacks have a height limit?

frosty terrace
#

dunno, just move in the opposite direction of the spin

azure sierra
#

insofar i can recall getting directly hit by the ground smash will erase your health bar regardless of whether you have OSP or not

#

so uh yeah, dodge that

#

the fire carousel probably doesnt have a limit

thorny sorrel
#

alright

frosty terrace
#

did you win?

thorny sorrel
#

Yeah

frosty terrace
#

nice

thorny sorrel
#

execute is OP

#

thank fuck i can stop worrying about fighting mitrhix now

frosty terrace
#

I've played 5 minutes of arti, I know very little about her πŸ˜„

azure sierra
#

Enjoy your captain

thorny sorrel
#

and thank fuck i got the log aswell

#

I didn't go for captain. already had him

normal pivot
#

Arti has a nice time with Mithrix

thorny sorrel
#

wanted the achievement

frosty terrace
#

oh you got the log too, nice!

#

maybe I should give arti another chance

#

didn't like her when I first played her

thorny sorrel
#

i consider myself blessed that i got the log aswell

chrome hedge
#

I got the log the first time I encountered Mithrix on Eclipse runs

#

also with Artificer

thorny sorrel
#

arti is just a bit ech

#

she can hit hard but lacks the flow other characters have

chrome hedge
#

charge cooldowns on Arti M1 😦

thorny sorrel
#

imagine if there was an item to boost the amount of M1 shots arti gets

chilly nest
#

Can Risk of Rain 2's fullscreen work properly for ONCE?
I keep pressing buttons inside the game while working with other programs, Alt + Tab doesn't really help too

mossy garden
#

idk what you have running in the background but it works fine for me

#

also turn off keyboard stuff while playing

#

things like razer's color controls and whatnot

keen nymph
#

hot damn rejuvenation rack and leech seed is godly on captain

long fern
#

not sure if its a bug but engie shield does not block the sporeballs from the annoying mushrooms

final shadow
#

That's because those are an AOE

trim niche
#

i took ~ten tries at Artificer: Mastery (intending to beat Mithrix) without a win, and ended up being absolutely livid

#

one switch to Ion Surge and this happens

#

||(no, i didn't go for boss this run, because i had medkits/razorwire and no scrapper on the 5th and i was not losing another damn run)||

next sun
#

Speaking of mithrix and artificer i want to ask:
Are you intended to be able to freeze mithrix?(sorry for low quality)

frosty terrace
#

none of the other bosses freeze, right?

next sun
#

nope

frosty terrace
#

might be an oversight

next sun
#

but he only froze in this and final phase

trim niche
#

huh, i could've sworn i did it in phase 3 once

#

i remember the first time i got to mithrix in the above attempts, i executed his first phase and got his log snicker

next sun
#

should i post this on bugs?

#

lol

#

lucky

#

i am gonna post this on bugs xd

opal plaza
#

You can actually freeze him on all phases

#

However any other stun from what I can tell doesn't work

#

@next sun (sorry for the ping, just wanted to let you know)

next sun
#

np, anyway i don't think that should be a thing...

opal plaza
#

Why not? It's still a decent amount of health you need to go through in the first place?

next sun
#

i mean you can skip a very big chunk of health and escape easily when you need to heal, if you should be able to freeze mithrix i think other bosses would be allowed

#

and i had two alien heads so i could spam the freeze very easily

opal plaza
#

Well that is true, not all the time will freezing be possible

#

The drones of phase 2 are just straight up immune to it oddly enough

#

Also I wish ice wall did something to bosses

next sun
#

having multiple jumps makes you unreachable for him and you can almost always dodge his gun

opal plaza
#

Even a proper slowdown would be nice

next sun
#

maybe, you can get chronobauble, i don't think ice wall is intended for bosses tho

opal plaza
#

Chrono bubble is sorta useless

#

Unless they changed it recently

#

It only slows down the movement speed, not attack speed from what I've seen

next sun
#

it helps you make space between you and enemies

opal plaza
#

That is true, however only on a few enemies it would be nice on

#

Mainly Imps

next sun
#

ye

opal plaza
#

But aside from that, most bosses dont move too much so chrono is useless on them

next sun
#

yeah most of them can just teleport or fly away

opal plaza
#

I dont know, I mostly play Captain now so its sorta annoying trying to use the air strike

#

On Artificer it's also nice do to her lack of mobility

next sun
#

yeah, she can have lots of vertical mobility tho, but most enemies can just shoot her down

opal plaza
#

Shes the best against Mithrix because she can dodge like 90% of his attacks

next sun
#

yeah she can just camp him out in the ait

#

air*

opal plaza
#

But I honestly dont mind too much, my only problem with is the final phase

next sun
#

unless you can instakill mithrix you're gonna have some trouble

opal plaza
#

Or have decent rng with item grabbing

#

My main problem is like red items or boss items

next sun
#

he grabs the last items on your inventory

opal plaza
#

Stuff like the loop, imp overload boss itme and a few others are just instant death

next sun
#

i got for some reason lots of boss stuff and red items on that game

#

and i don't even know the proper build for artificer

opal plaza
#

I just do whatever I like

chrome hedge
#

In retrospect after completing Eclipse 8, I just recommend bringing a burst damage setup for Mithrix 4.

#

Fighting the 4th phase normally is an awful experience and ain't nobody got time for that.

opal plaza
#

Yeah

#

They really should make items be half as good for phase 4

next sun
#

He can also benefit from your items so if you had a health build or whatever you're very troubled

long fern
#

Do you run command or just pray?

next sun
#

i run command very often

chrome hedge
#

Command in Eclipse.. πŸ˜…

opal plaza
#

Usally with friends I do command, but by myself I try my luck with rng

#

But then get completely fucked over by having my only means of movement and healing taken away for a hammer-

long fern
#

Command in Eclipse.. πŸ˜…
I dont know anything about eclipse other that its a hard game mode, thats it

next sun
#

i have yet to try the eclipse gamemode, right now i am just getting mastery on everyone

chrome hedge
#

Eclipse is solo-only, no artifacts game mode with stacking difficulty mods on top of Monsoon, up to 8 different ones.

long fern
#

huh, alright sounds good for the hardcore players

next sun
opal plaza
#

I'm glad nothing is actually in eclipse but a number

next sun
#

oh nice

opal plaza
#

I can handle monsoon but not eclipse

next sun
#

i have to try that soon

chrome hedge
#

@opal plaza there's even less, actually. When I completed Eclipse 8 I was quite cross to find that there's no indicator that you completed 8.

#

It's visually the same as having completed 7.

long fern
#

the command thing, I feel like its cheating but on the other hand, I cant remember the last time I had a good run without the rng screwing me over

opal plaza
#

Huh, how odd

long fern
#

like I can get N'kuharas opinion in the first 5 minutes but then not get any mushrooms, at all, in a 35 minute run

chrome hedge
#

Also, for Mithrix 4, it turns out his swirling ground orbs can travel up the ramps and kill you. Take a guess why I know this.

opal plaza
#

I had really good luck on my last Mul-T luck by getting a red on stage 2

#

Oh that must suck

tight stratus
#

tfw you don't get proc items with a dps survivor, but you get them as Artificer.

chrome hedge
#

just another reason to call in the nuclear strike to begin Phase 4 before he can do anything

tight stratus
#

friendly reminder that phase 4 is being reworked

opal plaza
#

Oh that's good

chrome hedge
#

yeah, but for now, best strat is to kill him fast

opal plaza
#

I dont mind the items being taken, just it's far too strong on him

tight stratus
#

Or be engi and cheese it with turrets (this will be patched)
Or get a lot of fuel cells and the Royal or the BFG, and save them for the last phase
Also he's getting more blacklist items, like the crowbar.

#

Oh blacklist items, I don't think the Umbra should use Tougher Times

opal plaza
#

Speaking of items

#

They should make it so you cant be so really fucked over in void realm

chrome hedge
opal plaza
#

I mean really, first enemies where elder lizards, they got repulsion armor, red whips and focus crystals

next sun
#

in the void realm either you get useless enemies with useless items or you get mushrums with a ton of syringes or enemies with glasses

chrome hedge
#

Void Fields later in the run is often a death sentence.

opal plaza
#

Still annoyed how that killed another Mul-T run somehow

chrome hedge
#

Do it right after stage 1, and before 4:48.

#

After that, the difficulty slider progresses to Medium on Monsoon/Eclipse and it will be significantly harder

opal plaza
#

Like why do mushrooms hit so hard??

#

You step on it and oh would you look at that, already half dead

undone pelican
#

on monsoon they just instakill at some point GWpingKanyeLUL

long fern
#

You step on it and oh would you look at that, already half dead
it isnt even blocked by engie shield

chrome hedge
#

If you think Mushrums are bad now, take note of that Eclipse 7 mod.

opal plaza
#

Another run ended by me holding still for a second trying to figure out how to handle 5 blazing great wisps only to be completely melted

tight stratus
#

Yup. it makes cheese setups like Infinijade... necessary

next sun
#

You step on it and oh would you look at that, already half dead
@opal plaza i was going to say that, you get very fukd if you get hit by a mushrum

undone pelican
#

eclipse 7 mod is bad for like just couple of enemies including mushrooms

chrome hedge
#

Well, also Wisps. And most bosses. And Mithrix 4 if you didn't burst him down.

opal plaza
#

His nanobots are the only reason I love Captain even more then I do

next sun
#

if you get drones as captain they also get nanobots

opal plaza
#

He is just the personification of fuck you to every projectile enemy

chrome hedge
#

Mithrix 4 becomes a lot harder to deal with when he machine guns you twice as often.

undone pelican
#

yeah machine gun is pretty much the only thing that makes him hard if you have enough mobility

tight stratus
#

I like to get Lunars so Mittens is a lot more handicapped than he already is.

next sun
#

captains nanobots projectile deleting speed increases with syringes

#

/attack speed

opal plaza
#

Also an idea I heard from someone

#

What if we just got an insane amount of shaped glass into phase 4?

#

One guy had like 28, wouldn't that mean like instant death for Mithrix?

next sun
#

i can try i got like 84 lunar coind

#

coins*

undone pelican
#

tried mul-t with double rebarb build. it's fun for first 2 stages, then it becomes the worst strategy ever

opal plaza
#

Well, also instant death if you get hit

next sun
#

basically glass on steroids

tight stratus
#

nah, just dodge

chrome hedge
#

It would be easier to build into 1 Shaped Glass plus a burst damage setup than a ton of Shaped Glasses, tbh

undone pelican
#

just dodge 4head

chrome hedge
#

plus not dying if something breathes in your general direction while you weren't looking

tight stratus
#

One thing i'd like to try is get Mul-T with Glass, and a Chrysalis, and the Meteor

opal plaza
#

I still need to get the lunar shell thingy for my non stop berserk tonic build

tight stratus
#

Mul-T himself... isn't my playstyle though, i genuinely don't have fun with him.

undone pelican
#

One thing i'd like to try is get Mul-T with Glass, and a Chrysalis, and the Meteor
@tight stratus just pick loader and hold rmb instead

next sun
#

berserk tonic is kinda boring for me but then i get upset when i get instakilled

chrome hedge
#

Gesture isn't even difficult to get. Commando's alt unlocks are harder lol

opal plaza
#

I just havent found any of the stupid things to push off of the edge

chrome hedge
#

Find Newt Altar on Sky Meadow, Dream to Titanic Plains, clear teleporter, then work with the hermit crabs you get.

#

They only appear there after looping.

next sun
#

i still need to get commando's skills

tight stratus
#

Gesture isn't even difficult to get. Commando's alt unlocks are harder lol
no-hit Merc challenge

next sun
#

i havent found overloading magma worm and i am to lazy to stage 20

chrome hedge
#

2 runs of Titanic Plains this way should clear the achievement.

opal plaza
#

I was trying till I got melted in the void realm

#

I even activated the last cell when I died

undone pelican
#

god i hope they change slicing winds to be useful

chrome hedge
#

do it on Drizzle. There's no need to spend time with Void Fields

opal plaza
#

I was on drizzle and still got melted

exotic radish
opal plaza

On a mult with a huge amount of healthing and about 1500 health

I hate the mushrooms with a passion

I experimented with Slicing Winds, it actually becomes self-perpetuating if you aim for things that will live long enough to get hit by the last cut.

Mushrum horde of many for Stage 5 boss ☠️

Yeah

doesn't seem like much until the 50% teleporter radius nerf in Eclipse

undone pelican
#

Mushrum horde of many for Stage 5 boss ☠️
@chrome hedge had that on stage 3, almost killed them all by playing acrid but got too greedy

chrome hedge
#

I say that, but Brass Contraption or Elder Lemurian hordes are the actual worst for stage 5

opal plaza
#

Why even bother with stage 5?

chrome hedge
#

Parent hordes are scary until you realize they will follow you off a cliff to their deaths if you jump off.

opal plaza
#

Wait really?

#

I guess that would be useful on anyone with mobility to get back, or loader

tight stratus
#

or a chrysalis, or Strides

eager badger

or just a cube

chrome hedge
eager badger
#

gonna have to do that 7 more times to get MUL-T to eclipse 8

chrome hedge
#

@eager badger when you get to Eclipse 4+, you can just make him take 1/2 his health in Fall Damage

eager badger
#

oh nice

#

didnt even think about that

chrome hedge
#

goes too fast up the ramp for his own good

eager badger
#

did notice him taking a fuck ton of fall damage

#

on my other characters

#

i just left MUL T for last cause i dont like him that much

chrome hedge
#

I don't, either. I left his Mastery for last as well

eager badger
#

found a new strat, double rebar MUL T

#

if you hold m1 and R you get like a fire rate increase of like 600%

#

or even more, aka you fire a rebar shot every half a second or so

chrome hedge
#

yeah, being able to slot in 2 of the same primary feels like a mistake lol

#

break his legs

thorn spruce
#

Does anyone have any tips on how to survive on monsoon

eager badger
#

Lmao that fall damage

glad fog
#

Play fast but be able to know when and where to stay depending on your power budget

chrome hedge
#

as a general thing, find the teleporter quickly, then buy items after with the gold you get from the teleporter event

#

general exception being the first stage, where you'll want an item or two for the stage 1 boss since you start with a bit of gold

thorn spruce
#

Thanks

chrome hedge
#

on Monsoon/Eclipse it's important not to waste time. 5 mins/stage for 1-4 is a good general pace

#

if you want to fight Mithrix, spend a bit more time after the teleporter event on Stage 5 to prepare using the scrapper/printers that are there

thorn spruce
#

Ok

#

Thank you

chrome hedge
#

if you're trying hard to get an achievement or progress Eclipse mode, then do Void Fields stage 1

#

It takes a while to do, but time/difficulty doesn't move when you're in there. 4 white items, 4 green items, and a legendary if you complete it.

#

Stage 1 void fields is practically mandatory for the later parts of Eclipse mode

thorn spruce

Thanks

#

Can the the Captain not use his abilities in the Gold Golem area or the Acrid area?

tight stratus
#

nope, if it's a hidden realm then he can't use his last two abilities.

#

It's annoying, but with the current Bleed meta, you can destroy just about anything with sustained fire.

serene valve
#

Makes "sense" but whatever. Thanks

pliant jasper
#

is flurry or strafe better on huntress?

eager badger
#

The flurry goes pretty hard with crits

chrome hedge
#

Assuming you have perfect uptime with primary fire, Strafe is more DPS than Flurry until you reach 21% crit chance.

eager badger
#

^

#

Aka 2 glasses, or 1 glasses, 1 scythe and a predatory instincts

chrome hedge
#

Even without the crit through I like Flurry since it deals more damage upfront when you're kiting with Sprint and momentarily looking backwards for a lockon.

#

Strafe's faster rate of fire actually works against that kind of kiting even in situations where it's more potential DPS.

frosty terrace
#

FUUUCK horde of many, fuck that boss fight, elite parents that teleport to me? no way to kite them? killed me twice

eager badger
#

Elite parents are the worst

chrome hedge
frosty terrace
#

I don't play huntress, but that's a cool trick

#

only had one hopoo feather

#

I had shatterspleen, 10 crit glasses and a few tri tips as a captain

#

I was doing so much damage to bosses, but that horde of many just overwhelms me everytime

#

oh and shattering justice too

#

real good red item for captain

chrome hedge
#

should still be able to get them to throw themselves off the stage if they're focused on you at all, even without much mobility. Just mind the fall damage

forest fog
#

tfw the Prototype Drones from Commencment do not count toward Captains challenge

silver plover
#

i mean, you didn't purchase them, so

forest fog
#

i mean yeah but fuck

#

i cba to grind that much to have a chance to see a proto

#

I just wanna hack

opal plaza
#

Oh dear god Tesla coil as the red item in void realm is terrifying

#

Also TC's arent that rare?

#

On my second Rallypoint I found one well looking for them

forest fog
#

I can remember literally 4 times seeing a TC in my 160 hours

silver plover
#

they're not super rare, but they can only spawn on Rallypoint

opal plaza
#

I've seen.. maybe 5?

#

With only 70 hours

forest fog
#

I've seen them outside of Rally I think, though

opal plaza
#

They are very rare on other places if I'm correct

forest fog
#

Either on Plains or Desert,,

#

One of them

silver plover
#

i'm fairly certain that shouldn't be possible, but maybe they can in super rare circumstances
if they can, i haven't seen it, and i have over 220 hours

opal plaza
#

Yeah, I've only seen one outside of rallypoint once

forest fog
#

I'll check the gamepedia real quick

opal plaza
#

Main problem is actually buying one

#

14x the price of a normal chest

silver plover
#

the wiki seems to say it's exclusive to delta

forest fog
opal plaza
#

Huh, odd

#

Maybe one got shot down and I never noticed it died

silver plover
#

yeah, if one dies on a stage it crashes and can be purchased again

#

that's most likely what you saw

forest fog
#

I have never bought one

silver plover
#

oh. nikowhat

forest fog
#

Except maybe once in a team game but that was on Rallypoint

opal plaza
#

Who knows, maybe it was just stupidly rare or a glitch

chrome hedge
#

TC prototypes are not repairable if destroyed

silver plover
#

oh, i didn't know that

opal plaza
#

Either way, just go on drizzle as Captain and just keep playing to get both achievements

Is artifact of sacrifice worth using with swarm? I know it reduces the chances but not sure how much

forest fog
#

I absolutely remember seeing a TC for sale outside of Delta though, so that's weird

chrome hedge
#

then you should have screened it due to being an anomaly

opal plaza
#

I'm still irritated that I managed to die on drizzle as mul-T with insane healing

#

The Tesla coil really hurts with 10 of them hitting you

forest fog
#

I didn't know it was Delta only, so I didn't pay much heed to it

raven lichen
#

Sacrifice halves the chance to drop items, but theres a minimum and it halves inside a formula so in essence it actually doubled sacrifice drops. Ish.

#

It barely decreases them per enemy

forest fog
#

I was just like "Oh, a Proto, this is fucking worthless"

chrome hedge

Tesla Coil in Void Fields is pretty much almost always death unless

  1. enemy has no speed boosts
  2. they all are low HP mobs
  3. the last cell is in wide open terrain
  4. you are a ranged survivor
opal plaza
#

They are stupidly tanky even when looping

chrome hedge
#

Rarely, you can get Tesla Coil enemies and live to tell the tale.

opal plaza
#

They had red ropes so it was even worse

#

Lesser wisps, jellyfish, lizards and golems

Yeah and then they get stuck in Terrain and go πŸ”„

Also the shock sentry is surprisingly good on Captain

chrome hedge
#

the who?

#

the beacon

opal plaza
#

Beacon, I kept drawing a blank on the name for some reason

#

Anyways, I tossed one down by my TC and it took about 10 mintues of abuse from a few bosses as I fought the teleporter boss across the map

thorny sorrel
#

So why can't you use Gorag's Opus on Captain?

opal plaza
#

Good question

tough surge
#

When final boss steals infusions does he take away the health you gained as well?

Anybody know if you can get artifacts while in eclipse game mode?

Opus just boosts attack speed and movement speed no?

He froze Mithrix during his big exploding lines attack

Then, after the attack ended, he IMMEDIATELY did it again

oof

And just kept doing the lines attack

Like 10 times in a row

Never seen a bug like that before

He didnt do anything else

I thought he did that until you get his hp low enough to enter the next phase

hm k never seen this before
@leaden whale seen that once too since 1.0

I've had him do it for a long time too

does mithrix use shaped glass? I have 3 of them and was wondering if I should just obliterate

Captain passive is pretty good
Buy a few drones and never worry about brass and lumerians

Not a big problem tho

there's always at least one of them just chilling midair

just beat the game on monsoon, was using captain at first, used artifact to change myself to rex

cunning topaz
#

Is it generally considered better to do multiple loops if you want to beat mithrix on monsoon

#

or just go for it on the first loop

polar anvil
#

no

#

do it stage 6 unless you want a painful experience

cunning topaz
#

Alright

#

I usually get to the boss around 25 minutes but I just feel SO underpowered

#

Especially before 4th phase, I just can't burst him down fast enough

frosty terrace
#

yeah, phase 4 of mithrix becomes just so much harder the longer the run goes on

#

even if you loop and you're a god in the first 3 phases, then mithrix becomes the god

#

if you play on test branch, you can't just burn mithrix down while he's sucking your items, he's immortal during it

#

I think the best plan is to just fight him without looping, and abuse the terrain

#

use the ramps, if you can deal damage from afar during phase 4, that's the best plan, be near cover and stuff

eager badger
#

Wich character are you playing as

#

But still bait out his needles cause they will very much hit you

severe island
#

play as the engineer and loop. attack speed and full crit, bleed, wisps for second phase. I won first attempt on monsoon

#

I think I looped once

eager badger
#

It all comes down to how you deal with the 4th phase

#

Since he's extremely predictable in the 1st and 3rd phase

#

Engi can just do that

#

(tho not for long)

severe island
#

The turrets keep the items that you had when he steels them

#

so the turrets roast him alive 4th phase

eager badger
#

Yeah and do it fast cause when the next patch comes out your turrets will lose their items too

severe island
#

Stacking 160 crowbars and lightning crit did a fourth of his health. oh no-

Does attack speed affect mercenary's eviscerate at all

Is mercenary's focus expose treated as a debuff that can proc death mark?

chrome hedge
#

Expose? yes

keen nymph
#

I learned about proc chains today and I'm only just now realizing how broken Artifact of Command actually is

dull ingot
#

will o the wisp and preon accumulator, there's your proc chain

#

screen is literally nothing but numbers

stoic geyser
#

ATG and ukulele too, having an ATG proc an ATG pretty much instakills whatever it hits.

spark crow
#

so, Runald's and Kjaro's need a 400%+ damage hit to proc, but does this mean 400%+ base damage with no damage-boosting items, or 400%+ damage total

#

I had 2 crowbars on Commando, so in theory, with default right click, that should be 300+200=500% damage, enough to proc either band, but this did not actually work out

#

I'm inclined to think it's the former, but confirmation would be nice

chrome hedge
#

@spark crow means 400%+ damage, in a single instance of damage. Hits that strike simultaneously that could factor to be 400%+ don't count

#

The only way Commando can proc bands on demand without other items is with Frag Grenades.

#

Or if his M2 gets a critical hit

spark crow
#

so crits count towards the 400+% damage hit but not crowbars, that's disappointing but not that big a deal

#

well, it is a big deal because you don't always get crit and you're not necessarily guaranteed to not get bands from big chests, but I guess if they're working items later on, it's whatever

past sand
#

I learned about proc chains today and I'm only just now realizing how broken Artifact of Command actually is
Regardless of if proc chains exist or not, Command is broken simply because it removes the one balancing factor of the game; the random loot
Even if loot only gave a flat +/- to stats and did absolutely nothing else, being able to cherry pick exactly what you need and when you need it means you're never in any real danger

Stage 4 just feels so bad to play on, and I'd say borderline impossible to finish on anything past 2nd loop. Chunking Mythrix to 1/4 health at the start, just for him to regain all of it because he took a couple medkits. It really feels shitty to have to shred a bunch of items specifically for the last phase.

sly goblet
#

why is it that they had to make captain trash on void fields?

storm fern
#

For the lore outch

#

Its not worth it but idk

dreamy pilot
#

He lost WiFi connection and dosent have mobile data 😩

sly goblet
#

Like I really like him overall but that one aspect bums me out hardcore

storm fern
#

Like his ship cannot come to void

sly goblet
#

no I get why thematically

storm fern
#

So he cant shoot or drop things

#

But its bullshit to make a chara useless

sly goblet
#

but idk i feel like in the design phase they shouldve maybe considered that a reason to not make that a mechanic idk

storm fern
#

You have to do it on multiplayer

#

A mate can carry this

olive summit
#

I think they should give him seperate skills when in void fields

sly goblet
#

^

eternal spear
#

I've noticed that the later in a run you are with Captain, the less and less you actually use his Utility and Ultimate. His left click alone is enough for damage during loops, so long as you get enough damaging items

sly goblet
#

I don't do void fields later in runs tho

eternal spear
#

That's a good point I guess, but why do void fields at all then? Even though time stops, you still spend a while in there for 1 red

#

You can get a free red in Abyssal depths with his hacking beacon

chrome hedge
#

Eclipse mode pulls no punches.

#

Early Void Fields is damn near mandatory once you push Eclipse 4+

sly goblet
#

trying to get his "visit 10 areas" achieve

eternal spear
#

Ohhh

#

I mean, there are more than 10 maps. I got it without going to void fields. It just takes a few loops and luck

sly goblet
#

I don't think he's worthless without his utility/special I just wish they weren't disabled

eternal spear
#

I agree with that completely

sly goblet
#

like coco said it'd be better to give him weaker abilities to replace them or something rather than render half the character moot

olive summit
#

alright, its time to turn him into the mobile cannon turrent from clashe royale when hes in void fields

sly goblet
#

just seems like an off choice design-wise

pulsar loom
#

Maybe for his utility special you can have an empowered shotgun and a assault rifle altfire

#

Empowered shot would be a single shotgun blast with taze power

storm fern
#

True, giving him something like commando nades would be nice

sly goblet
#

yea commando nades were my first thought

pulsar loom
#

And altfire would be similar to mulT nailgun but slower

eternal spear
#

I think the captains main glaring design flaw is the fact that he has a semi automatic weapon. I dont wanna have to crunch my fingers for an hour and a half for all his attacks

olive summit
#

Maybe as like, the void fields help empower his mechanic limbs (as we can tell), allowing him access to maybe other abilities or just a buff to his shotgun

sly goblet
#

i feel that mobius

eternal spear
#

That's why I've reverted back to huntress lmao. Just hold left mouse for the whole run

sly goblet
#

i tap usually

olive summit
#

idk, I play a lot of games where I manually click for things so that doesnt bother me too much

sly goblet
#

it'd be much worse if it did more damage at full charge

olive summit
#

thankfully, its just a mini sniper at full charge

#

otherwise, just get in their face and blast them

eternal spear
#

I'm conflicted, cause I like the idea of his charge lowering the spread

sly goblet
#

just stack attack speed 4Head

olive summit
#

^

eternal spear
#

But I dont want to have to mash my mouse for all of his basic attacks and utility

olive summit
#

gotta say, never have i loved behemoth more than with captain

#

with some syringes or other attack speed items, some bleed, I can button mash to my hearts content lol

eternal spear
#

My new favorite item is the shatterspleen. The stacking bleed is soooooo strong

sly goblet
#

i think the majority of my struggles with void fields comes from the fact that in the last 4 attempts i've gotten imps and 5 tri tips every single time

olive summit
#

ah, I just came back and learned of captain and played him a bit, havent had time to see the neq blues

#

is that a new blue? or is that like a new yellow

It's not good advice, but try doing void fields on drizzle

#

: o

#

drizzle OMEGALUL

#

hmm, is little disciple now not #1 anymore

Its the boss item from imp overlords

I like the molten perforator too

#

is that the lava talon one?

eternal spear
#

Yeah

sly goblet
#

perf and spleen are hands down the only yellows i give the time of day tbh

eternal spear
#

I like knurl early in a run for the regen boost

sly goblet
#

i can tolerate the rock

olive summit
#

tbh, I dont like perf too much, as the lava is alright, but id rather take a disciple over it

eternal spear
#

Desiple is only decent on sprint characters like huntress and mercenary

sly goblet
#

^

#

it's god tier on huntress

olive summit
#

I mean, captain is also always sprinting

#

because he has no movement skill, only orbital bombardments every 11 seconds lol

eternal spear
#

I guess that does give him an option for damage while running

#

I'm still trying to figure out the strategy for mythrix stage 4

#

So far its shred all my medkits before the fight

#

And try to camp him out by the ramps

olive summit
#

i cheesed it with stacking 8 fuel cells

#

and a royal cap

#

and just nuking him every stage

sly goblet
#

royal cap machine gun is the most busted strategy imo

eternal spear
#

Yeah that's a good strat, but I want to figure out the "right" way to fight him

sly goblet
#

gesture + cap + lots of fuel cells

eternal spear
#

Without having to cheese

olive summit
#

uh

sly goblet
#

the right way is for his hp bar to hit 0 OMEGALUL

olive summit
#

can u stack 3 preons and then also nuke him lol

#

Ah, I know

#

have 1000 tonic afflictions

sly goblet
#

this game is all about cheese don't be afraid to cheese the obviously cheesy boss

olive summit
#

wait, do tonic affliction effect the boss lol

eternal spear
#

No, hes immune to afflictions

olive summit
#

damn

eternal spear
#

But

#

You can stack shaped glass, so when he takes them his hp is tiny

#

Cause he one shot kills you anyway

olive summit
#

I only ever fought him twice, both times because I found a royal cap and some fuel cells lol

eternal spear
#

So the extra damage doesn't matter

sly goblet
#

he isnt guranteed to 1 shot you tho

#

ive been hit by him and lived several times

olive summit
#

I cant decide which is cooler, white or black captain

eternal spear
#

Yeah, but it's basically the same. He chunks you to your one shot protection, then the tri-tip dagger he takes kills you eith the bleed

#

I like his white jacket

#

Looks like an admiral

#

this is fashion souls all over again (._.)

If I understood the story of the game properly, they are doing a rescue mission, looking for survivors.

Rather than emergency pods, I guess they are just landing pods.

tight stratus
#

it doesn't have to be the same commando, that wouldn't make any sense
the fact that Cap has support abilities tied to the Safe Travels suggests that the ship is still functional, that and we board a rescue ship on the last level

dull ingot
#

haventy seena single pool and i spent most of this run with perma scanner as my active

opal plaza
#

Maybe it's just a wide label

lyric oak
#

Ehh, I think it makes plenty of sense. We don't see their faces, could be that is just standard gear for Commandos in the RoR universe.

tight stratus
#

@dull ingot Yeah, that can happen. I think they have a small chance to spawn instead of a 3D printer on like... three levels.

opal plaza
#

It would be odd for someone just to be called rescuer

tight stratus
#

@lyric oak Thank you.

dull ingot
#

rescue team

#

regardless as soon as they make their first shot or swipe they become survivors

#

it's a hard world out there

lyric oak
#

Rather, it's not the same Commando as in RoR1. Obviously the first guy we play as is the same as the guy in intro.

tight stratus
#

Last time the natives had someone fall from the sky, the alien killed their God.

short agate
#

I'm still confused about the intro, is Commando in the same ship with Captain

opal plaza
#

Oh a side note, I have a idea that could either be interesting or too gimmicky

#

I'd assume so

lyric oak
#

And yeah, probably makes sense that they are doing a rescue mission until level 3, then they see that the camp is abandoned and empty, and switch their priority to just getting out of the planet.

tight stratus
#

yes Bee.
Com is the first character you play as, meant to be an introduction to the game. it's just a fact that gets lost to Early Access players because... reasons.

stuck meadow
#

dosent explain scorched acres tho

opal plaza
#

You know, isnt it just lovely when you come up with an idea only to realise "oh wait, that was done before"

short agate
#

I just feel like the situation in that room Commando was in still doesn't fit with the whole ship being fine and not getting struck by anything

opal plaza
#

My idea was more or less just a custom character I was going to probably mod until I realised the weapon is rather unoriginal

tight stratus
#

almost no survivor in the game itself is 100% original, go nuts.

lyric oak
#

I think it makes plenty sense. It's a classified mission, so of course the mood is kinda tense.

opal plaza
#

Well originally my idea was a complete melee and ranged survivor

stuck meadow
#

why did we just decided we need to kill someone on the moon tho
if we saw rally point delta and descided theres no survivors, we could always just leave using a transport shown in the end

opal plaza
#

The weapon would be a scythe that could also switch into a ranged weapon, first idea was a bow, but I thought a gun would work better

short agate
#

When you're choosing the survivors, stuff is shaking around the room (the chairs is very identical in that background) so I presumed they got attacked or some shit like that

lyric oak
#

Maybe the teleporters are faulty?

short agate
#

or also maybe we go kill that moon guy because we think he killed the survivors we were going to rescue ?

stuck meadow
#

The trailer for 1.0 said "Complete the mission" while showing Mithrix's orb

#

why did the mission objective shift

lyric oak
#

That's why they have to take the landing pods to the planet, rather than having the whole ship land. So they just go in, and use teleporters hoping for the best.

opal plaza
#

Well, technically if you think about it, the boss attacks first

#

So you would naturally defend yourself so maybe they just stumble across it

stuck meadow
#

I mean, if we wanted to leave the planet, those small transport ship shown at the end could probably work

opal plaza
#

There is probably too much of a lack of lore to figure out

lyric oak
#

So, my theory is that there's something in the planet stopping the transport proper ships from reaching it. Maybe strong magnetic field, after all one of the stages is a ship graveyard.

opal plaza
#

Maybe Captain went after all the other survivors in order to rescue them

short agate
#

also why after we leave the planet, there are plants growing around the mithrix's head ? I know it's probably Providence's doing but for what purposes

lyric oak
#

So they can only get to transport ship from moon, since it has weaker gravity pull. Or something.

short agate
#

So, my theory is that there's something in the planet stopping the transport proper ships from reaching it. Maybe strong magnetic field, after all one of the stages is a ship graveyard.
Or yeah that make sense now

stuck meadow
#

I think that scene just ment mithrix is ded

short agate
#

Siren's call is like a ship graveyard and those who landed on the planet face the same fate somehow

stuck meadow
#

why spesfically siren call tho
also there have been records of other ppl sucessfully landing on the planet
Parent's log shows that

opal plaza
#

Maybe they are also there to re collect the stuff they lost from ror1 and save the survivors?

short agate
#

Good question

#

Siren's call is one of the area confirmed to be like that

lyric oak
#

So the reason Commando is tense in the intro is that he knows that return isn't quaranteed. Both because the planet is dangerous, and because they don't have an easy way of getting out.

opal plaza
#

That makes sense

stuck meadow
#

according to the log of teddy bear we are not the only ones sent for the mission tho

short agate
#

πŸ€”

#

Technically if you're playing solo it's just one of the survivors

stuck meadow
#

more ppl singed up apperantly
so there could be other parties doing a search while we exterminate all lifeforms

short agate
#

I think hopoo said at some point that Multiplayer is also canon

lyric oak
#

I really should read all the logs.

#

...Well, all the logs that are fucking done. That's one of the reasons I haven't looked into them too much.

stuck meadow
#

logs are fun to read

opal plaza
#

I just dont look into them much, all I've seen so far is Mithrix and dropping Providences worms into a hole

stuck meadow
#

Story between providence and mithrix is pretty good

#

Mithrix is not all that bad

opal plaza
#

On a side note, I dont get why so many people act as if hes the worst boss in the game

stuck meadow
#

Phase 4

opal plaza
#

Sure he has some big problems but he isnt the worse

#

Phase 4 does need to make items like half as good on him

hollow silo
#

is thunder store ( the mod website ) safe?

opal plaza
#

No clue

azure sierra
#

it is insofar i am aware

stuck meadow
#

I think I’d be nice if he just grabbed your items and does nothing with it instead

opal plaza
#

Well, I like the fact he uses them

#

Sorta a last ditch effort

#

But they are far too strong on him

#

Thankfully I think they are going to rework phase 4

stuck meadow
#

Apperantly it’s suppose to be more of a β€œoh crap” moment

opal plaza
#

I mean, it is

stuck meadow
#

Well rn is kinda certain death

opal plaza
#

Yeah

#

I think the boss and stage as a whole are good but can use a few changes

#

Mostly the stage could have bit more, structure to it and Mithrix is self explanatory

somber tide
#

Is stacking armor plates viable?

opal plaza
#

I think so?

#

I tend to see it in difficult runs with command artifact so I'd imagine its decent or good

tepid wolf
#

Repulsions are applied after armor which is really good with the jade elephant

stoic tendon
#

Do I get the mastery cheevo if I do the "a moment, Whole" route?

azure sierra
#

p sure you do but you have to actually beat the scavenger

serene brook
#

hey how the hell does new multiplayer work

#

it's my first time playing multiplayer this update and i can't find a game that i'm able to join before starting or anything

#

also what is the tag convention that everybody's seemed to settle on

dull ingot
#

I usually just start a game and wait for people to come in because everyone likes to throw on a bunch of stupid artifacts. always people looking for an open game.

#

it's not in progress if the image is commando on the selection screen.

#

irradiant pearl @ 215 mins

#

praise providence

shut jungle
#

@serene brook look for the character load screen instead of a level. Rules arent important as host, you can put rule vote on and everyone can vote. Most my runs end up as monsoon, chaos, sacrifice and command

serene brook
#

yeah i ended up looking for the select screen but there aren't many and when i join them they're just somehow like 2 hours into a run

shut jungle
#

Commando in the ship images should always be fresh lobbies. No, there typically arent many at any given time

dull ingot
#

make one and people will join

#

and then they will die round 1 and leave

#

just like providence intended

#

that's a good thing

#

more loot for you

forest fog
#

Got literally oneshot by a Malachite Brass

patent pumice
#

full health?

forest fog
#

I genuinely thought I had a chance at beating Mithrix on Monsoon for the first time, this time

#

ya

#

I know there's oneshot protection

#

probs got hit by 2 balls and didn't notice the latter

patent pumice
#

well you got hit twice then

#

1 is the ball
the other the malachite spike

forest fog
#

all i know is

#

i wanted to kill solus probe

#

game freezes for a split second

#

i am no longer lving

gilded geyser
#

pelted

chrome hedge
#

game lag is a sad thing

#

considering RoR2 isn't overly graphically demanding

safe river
#

hey question does anybody have Mithrix's theme? Without the lunar chimera phase

patent pumice
#

you mean You're Gonna Need A Bigger Ukulele?

safe river
#

Yeah

patent pumice
#

Chris Christoudoulou youtube/bandcamp

dense pumice
#

Without the Lunar Chimera Phase probably not

safe river
#

Yeah without Lunar Chimera, probably not made yet

chrome hedge
#

I appreciate the correct spelling of "ukulele" being used

#

since I see a lot of "ukelele" which confuses me

inland lava
#

anyone know why my multitudes mod not working?

honest hawk
#

I assume it isn't updated to the most recent update

inland lava
#

on the page it said to enter this command "mod_wb_set_multiplier x"

#

but there is no ingame console

honest hawk
#

There is

inland lava
#

and it was updated 4 days ago

#

how do u enable it?

honest hawk
#

I'd have to look it up. Been a while since I've used it. 1 sec

inland lava
#

okay

honest hawk
#

Ctrl + Alt + `(~)

#

According to google

inland lava
#

okayy

#

thanksss

honest hawk
#

Did that work?

inland lava
#

it did open the console

#

but the command mod_wb_set_multiplier x doesnt woek

#

"mod_wb_set_multiplier" is not a recognized ConCommand or ConVar

#

this is what the console say

inland lava
#

?

placid bloom
#

rip

#

there was 0 way to deal with this lmao

frosty terrace
#

yeah, horde of many is hard af

placid bloom
#

sniped out of the air the moment i ulted after hitting the porter

#

like i figured out how to deal with wisps, but this?

frosty terrace
#

clay templar version seems like a real tough one

#

maybe you could levitate in a pit and make them all fall in?

placid bloom
#

there's no cover that can deal with CT swarm, if i jump up to hide and take potshots on the cliff, ill be letting more spawn
alas

#

they pretty much just chaingunned me to death the moment i hti the porter

#

its not like i got much hp/tankiness to ever hope to tank enough hits to lure them into the pit

#

the moment i spawned on that stage and saw their icon i ran for the teleporter cuz... where else can i run lmfao

#

i suppose an engineer could sort of deal with this by using turrets as meatshields

#

or a godly merc/loader.

honest hawk
#

As engi there I would hope I'm running bubble shield

placid bloom
#

i imagine everyone else is dead, unless strides acrid

honest hawk
#

If not....yeahhhh

tepid wolf
#

Dealing with a horde of templars is extremely tough without stun grenades or getting lucky with stealthkits

placid bloom
#

ye with my kinda proc with 2 stun grenades and ONE stealthkit?

tepid wolf
#

Repulsion armor plates help just slightly

placid bloom
#

naw lel. well. do they still fire after like they lose LOS?

tepid wolf
#

I mean even regular templars ended my runs several times they are just that nasty

placid bloom
#

cuz that probably killed me IF my stealthkit procced

frosty terrace
#

overloading templars leave a bomb on you with each hit, repulsion will do little to save you

placid bloom
#

that'll be it then

tepid wolf
#

They stop firing if you go invisible but those 3 seconds are not enough

placid bloom
#

yea

frosty terrace
#

and you'll still have bombs on you when it triggers

placid bloom
#

just no way to asve that run the moment CTs were selected for that stage kekw

tepid wolf
#

Just got the arti mastery (and my last one at that) so hopefully I won't have to play arti for a while

placid bloom
#

i only got one so far, and that was cap'n

#

i been trying the whole day for acrid but... i dk, im doing something wrong i guess

frosty terrace
#

same, I've only killed the boss on monsoon with captain

tepid wolf
#

I go for obliterations since it is more simple

placid bloom
#

same, i only go for oblits

tepid wolf
#

Mithrix is cheesable with arti at least

frosty terrace
#

yeah, obliteration is way safer, but I like to take on the boss

placid bloom
#

ive never fought mithrix and thought "wow that was fun lets do it again" lmao

tepid wolf
#

It was super cool the first time

placid bloom
#

i liked the contact lgiht level in 1 where you could essentialy just farm/loot the ship before you take on provi

tepid wolf
#

The third phase of mithrix has killed me so many times

frosty terrace
#

I mainly do it to get some info on the boss and if it should be changed. I'm playing on the test branch and would like to help devs with some feedback

placid bloom
#

fair nuff

#

him stealing tesla aint fun for sure

tepid wolf
#

The fourth phase can't be bursted in the next update

frosty terrace
#

currently on the test branch, the boss is very hard on monsoon. The phase 4 gets me everytime

#

yeah he's immortal while sucking items

tepid wolf
#

The current mithrix is already extemely hard without a god run on monsoon

frosty terrace
#

the strat is to abuse ramps and stay far far away from him

tepid wolf
#

He can sometimes charge up the ramp
