prismatic-trials

[cyan stratus]

any sub 1 yet

[remote elbow]

dude can I get some help w this fuggin trial

I literally have no idea how to beat this wisp shit

nvm not doing it

I thought it was one stage, fuck that

[tardy bay]

so whats the loader strat cus i'm a shit router

[slim lintel]

try unplugging it and plugging it back in

ew did they change the stadia color this is nasty

[delicate grove]

Fits the stadia vibe then

[delicate grove]

double capacitor on the two left crystals then grapple and punch the last crystal without touching the ground to fly to the warp zone to the right

[tardy bay]

meaning using the free eq use thing right on pickup?

[delicate grove]

ye

[tardy bay]

i'll have to practice that and i'd assume vields is faster than artifact tp just about every time right?

[delicate grove]

yeah pretty sure, the vields spawn is really good

[tardy bay]

thats what i figured, you lose like 5 seconds just waiting for artifact tp to spawn

[delicate grove]

think its 10 seconds from when you press the computer

🤢

[tardy bay]

yeah i can't get the free capacitor hit

[cyan stratus]

wait you guys are going void fields lol

[cyan stratus]

ok it's a bit faster yeah

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZEnAOKQMyw loader route

[wide cloud]

cabbage how did you do the double royal capasitor thing

[scenic surge]

👏

[scenic surge]

press grab and activate on the frame you pick up the equip, while it’s aiming at something

[cyan stratus]

any loaders

[scenic surge]

trial end today?

[scenic surge]

ah it does

rip

rip loader this trial

[cyan stratus]

you really let a washed up railgunner 1-trick get away with the fastest loader time

[scenic surge]

was unavailable for everything but the last 16 mins

and you did a very good run

[cyan stratus]

teleporter in a void seed, my favorite

[scenic surge]

and no alter

[cyan stratus]

oh really? i'm actually happy about that so there's no way to get around it

[scenic surge]

no ethereal possible?

[cyan stratus]

of course it is lol

there's even a brooch printer

[cyan stratus]

#300

300 trials!
Thats quite a lot of them.
I didnt get anything special made for this one because of irl issues messing that up.

Maybe @proven cobalt could do something special for Cabbage having posted 300+ trials?

[vast token]

we could buy him a salad

[scenic surge]

https://youtu.be/d8XZbfNu__4 loader is bad this trial

[dawn prairie]

first time trying a prismatic trial and it is so hard ;v;

ive been going at it as engineer and im cry

[tardy bay]

yeah this ones not very friendly

Diablo strike my beloved 🥰

[real blade]

Is there somewhere to gets a heads up on days Mercenary: Ethereal is a little more forgiving to attempt?

[storm epoch]

I'd bet this chat is the earliest you'll find info on the day's trial

[real blade]

Cool cool, I'll keep checking!

[fleet crow]

Cabbage posts run throughs of the trials

[edgy plover]

zinq ping me when you beat my time 💀

[scenic surge]

dw that’ll be tommorow

[scenic surge]

aight @edgy plover

[urban aurora]

Number 1 commando how

[scenic surge]

cheat

[scenic surge]

good run

[storm epoch]

Woah, just learned skipping void fields counts XD

[tardy bay]

why alt punch

[storm epoch]

Alt punch is really good for offense on groups, but I guess for the fact it'd stop them where they need to be stopped? Since regular goes through

That's my guess

[scenic surge]

more dps

and i forgot to change off last trial

[tardy bay]

oh i know that it'll be more dps on a single target for this prismatic, i just hate halving punch mobility and despise it

[scenic surge]

generally alt punch is faster in prismatics with a single boss

just more annoying to navigate around

[tardy bay]

[storm epoch]

Ohhhh okay

[edgy plover]

im getting better i was getting 29-30s routes to teleporters

i just had as boss

ass

[scenic surge]

ye

avoid getting in the baby beetle zone, that lowers you damage by like 5% sorta

and try to grapple at least like 5m before hitting a punch

[edgy plover]

i wasnt getting momentum for the first punch

[scenic surge]

that helps lots

[edgy plover]

also my bazaar is ass

[delicate grove]

ooh a cleansing pool, someone do some 100% runs

[scenic surge]

does it drop good pearl?

wait no there's no lunars

[tardy bay]

yeah no pods are on sanctuary

[delicate grove]

Sadge

[tardy bay]

i'll settle with a sub 1:20, fuck this queen kill

[scenic surge]

just punch lol

[vapid torrent]

Chadfddddd

[radiant patrol]

finally top 100

For all of 2 seconds it’s going to last I’m happy

[scenic surge]

nice!

[soft acorn]

Wtf was that

Oh it's gone thank the mods

[tardy bay]

this is why i don't like starting with loader

[radiant patrol]

im stuck at rank 59, cant get my time lower :(

I mean I guess I could go lower using void fields skip

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mx_oSLTaD0 forgot the trial changed

[edgy plover]

did everyone agree to just not do this one

[errant verge]

Yes

[tepid pond]

Would a artifiact of metamorphosis be possible for prismatic?

[tardy bay]

i wanna say it can't

[scenic surge]

it isn’t available

[fleet crow]

It would make Ethereal impossible for that one

Though it would be incredibly interesting

Because it would be preset survivors

You'd be forced to like play MUL-T then Bandito

[scenic surge]

@dark latch https://youtu.be/LSNHT6lUGAg

[scenic surge]

and uh loader

[fleet crow]

That Bandit player is sooo goood 🙏🙏

[scenic surge]

beat me by an entire minute i'm seriously impressed

[fleet crow]

They shaved 1:01.35 off your time

It's incredible

[scenic surge]

probably because bandit can use lights out and reset cooldowns

[fleet crow]

oh yeah true

[dusk wing]

had to compress the shit out of this thing, sorry

anyone got any tips to improve this route?

[solemn fiber]

the discord has a 50mb limit yknow

[scenic surge]

100mb

@dusk wing

perfectly original railgunner routing

[dark latch]

Nice routing, thanks

[fleet crow]

that was a very elusive S2 crystal

[dusk wing]

Lol, tried uploading earlier and it said that the file couldn't be bigger than 8mb (it was ~130mb)

[dusk wing]

will try that

[modest heron]

how do they opne shot the slime

[scenic surge]

preon there

but also with double damage because

[modest heron]

whenever I get into the second stage I just dont seem to have enough damage

[edgy plover]

jeez how do you do the boss fast

[cyan stratus]

[marble venture]

she no wanna the cabbage

[edgy plover]

is artifact portal faster?

[fleet crow]

cabbage.mp4

[edgy plover]

is this faster?

[tardy bay]

i never tried hitting newt, i have no idea

[edgy plover]

huh

[tardy bay]

you are fairly close to artifact so maybe

[edgy plover]

i got 1:18 with newt

[tardy bay]

how was your tp1?

[edgy plover]

mid

ima try newt

[tardy bay]

yeah 2 punches and a slam is the best i've gotten on clearing the tp

[edgy plover]

slam and 1 punch is possible

[tardy bay]

[edgy plover]

1:19 with artifact

i think artifact faster tho

[tardy bay]

1:09 with artifact

i got a 2 punch tp1

[edgy plover]

hm

how are you getting to the

artifact input

[tardy bay]

one sec

just got an aspect lol

[edgy plover]

lmfao

also here

https://medal.tv/games/ror-2/clips/v2cei9w0KVAxj/d1337OU2CnzS?invite=cr-MSxKbHEsMjIzNzYyMzUs

forgor to mute it

[tardy bay]

thats beautiful

i've been using default grapple like an idiot

[edgy plover]

hehehahaw

now whats ur routing for stage 2

[tardy bay]

i'm trying to record a full run but i'm throwing s1 every time

[edgy plover]

dam

[scenic surge]

oh wait new trial today

[tardy bay]

[scenic surge]

uh oh

this does not look enjoyable

[edgy plover]

its not bad

[scenic surge]

pests are pests

[tardy bay]

totally clean and perfect run

[scenic surge]

not too bad

[stone adder]

blazing just said "we are ahead of zinq YAY now imma go piss"

his piss will end with sadness

[scenic surge]

tragedy

[tardy bay]

if i wasn't ass at artifact i woulda had like 1:07-08

[edgy plover]

140ms behind u

@scenic surge

[scenic surge]

i had a very clean s1 there

[edgy plover]

no

wtf

let me show

[scenic surge]

i know

[edgy plover]

mmm

scary

[scenic surge]

tried mixing yours and caps s1

and it uh didn't really work much

[edgy plover]

my best tp is 15

15s

[scenic surge]

whee

[edgy plover]

da hell

[edgy plover]

lmao

[scenic surge]

sorta messed up meadows

[edgy plover]

wait what was the opatter

pattern you put in

[scenic surge]

[edgy plover]

is that faster

[scenic surge]

same amount of clicks i do it because no one else does

[edgy plover]

than the one right next to it

ah ok

[scenic surge]

damn

artifact codes

[cyan stratus]

@slim lintel is good at those

[scenic surge]

done for today but heres a considerably harder barely faster stage 1!

[slim lintel]

huh

what am I good at?

[cyan stratus]

artifact codes

[slim lintel]

oh yep thats I'm the artifact code guy

[cyan stratus]

so what's your favorite code

[slim lintel]

idk man they're all so great I don't think I can pick a favorite

[cyan stratus]

if you could only input 1 code again for the rest of your life which one would it be

[scenic surge]

glass

[slim lintel]

Hmm, I think if I was hit with that ultimatum I think I would pick none since picking one would be a show of favorites and I don't want any of the codes to feel left out

[cyan stratus]

very fair but boring answer, give the fans what they want

[cyan stratus]

seems fast but reliant on rng whether you get the lunar coin or not

[scenic surge]

true

[slim lintel]

🔷🟦🟦
🔷🔵🟦
🔷🟦🟦

I like this one because it's a circle (me) surrounded by a bunch of squares

[cyan stratus]

very insightful, thank you

[slim lintel]

whats yours

[edgy plover]

the hell is this

[cyan stratus]

probably chaos

[edgy plover]

i dont think were soulmates we dont have the same favorite artifact in ror2

😦

[cyan stratus]

favorite artifact code, not artifact itself

big difference there

[edgy plover]

mb mb

ofc

[slim lintel]

what about the chaos code speak to you

[cyan stratus]

its symmetry

[slim lintel]

respectable

[slim lintel]

it just hit me that chaos is the most symmetric code

kinda ironic

[delicate grove]

glass is the most symmetric code

[slim lintel]

glass isn't symmetric its just flat plain and boring

[scenic surge]

https://youtu.be/gcA_DxTfvP0

[scenic surge]

didn't last long lol

[tardy bay]

[vagrant wigeon]

Melting everything almost instantly is fun sometimes though

[storm epoch]

They're only talking about the codes to put them into the bulwark, not the artifact itself

[scenic surge]

speaking of the artifact icons themselves though

no very symmetric

compared to

and glass is bigger for some reason

[fleet crow]

Symmetrical

---

Not symmetrical

---

[tough belfry]

❓

[tough belfry]

is as symmetrical as half of these

and not including rotation

[delicate grove]

glass icon is only symmetrical in one axis

[tough belfry]

ok but

[delicate grove]

but people usually think of the axis as being vertical i guess

[delicate grove]

im agreeing with you

petition to make artifact icons equally symmetrical

[tough belfry]

petition to make an artifact which is just a circle

[delicate grove]

artifact of no artifacts

[slim lintel]

glass isnt symmetrical at all the top right line is further in than the bottom left

actually nvm its kinda mirrored with opposite colors

[delicate grove]

its symmetrical from the bottom left to the top right

[slim lintel]

yeah but the colors are inverse so is it truly symmetric

[delicate grove]

yes

[tough belfry]

just realised the top left corner is lighter on everything

[scenic surge]

Same

[delicate grove]

that part doesnt count

[scenic surge]

which means

there’s only one axis to be truly symmetrical on

[delicate grove]

thats like saying something isnt symmetrical because its reflecting light

[tough belfry]

and and

[delicate grove]

that shine doesnt look like its at a perfect 45 degree angle

none of the artifacts are symmetrical gg

[slim lintel]

game breaking information

ror2 is now unplayable

[solemn fiber]

I mean, it makes sense

providence made the artifacts, so they'd be imperfect designs

[viral pivot]

[fleet crow]

Glass is not symmetrical and nor is Swarms

Glass has an empty spot in the top right corner and a filled spot in bottom left

Swarms has each part tapering off

They are not symmetrical

oh wait if you go other diagonal

only real symmetrical is vertical

[tough belfry]

turn your monitor

[scenic surge]

ah yes

[ripe zinc]

Damn you got outplayed

[edgy plover]

no way

huntress trial

also are you going to the second stage

[scenic surge]

ye

[edgy plover]

ye i figure out

can i see a route jesus

[gusty spire]

pogchamp

[scenic surge]

going thorugh the log you can line up a triple crystal but its hard

slow s2

[gusty spire]

i dont normally do trials but woohoo
went in blind. took red from big chest up top on sirens and got tesla coil for vultures, then got preon for titan on grove

[edgy plover]

tricorn

if you wanna improve

[gusty spire]

lmao i havent playedi n months i forgor 💀

[edgy plover]

xD

[gusty spire]

tricorn is too obvious

[edgy plover]

every time i start routing i forgor tricorn

Does anyone know why names don't show up in the leaderboards?

[gritty island]

[distant leaf]

ayy i got it in 3:22

[maiden gale]

i saw a video of a bug that made prismatic trials multiplayer, does that bug work on console?

[fleet crow]

console hasn't even gotten the update that created the bug

afaik

[maiden gale]

o

[fleet crow]

Yeah it happened near or after SotV iirc

[woeful walrus]

The Prismatic currently on console is pretty easy to get Ethereal with if anyone still needs it.

I know there's a console chat but since this seems to be a general prismatic chat I hope I'm not breaking any rules or anything.

[slim lintel]

<@&559786374228738069>

[scenic surge]

not at all lol

[full rose]

this one seems to be the easiest ive seen yet, hopefully i can get mercs 100% achive tonight then i never have to play these infuriating things ever again

I HATE WHISPS I HATE WHISPS I HATE WHISPS I HATE WHISPS

[viral pivot]

[full rose]

why did the most stupid achievement have to be on the character i hate to play

[rare torrent]

to make you go insane

[full rose]

thanks ghost whisp

[rare torrent]

fucker phased through the ground just to fuck you over

[full rose]

I DID IT

YES

I AM A GOD

now when i play prismatic trials it can be for fun :D

[dusk wing]

managed to tie @north berry

[rancid girder]

I'm struggling to get ahead of 1:40 whats the build

[dusk wing]

Royal capacitor -> Crowbar, that's it

[dusk wing]

this run is really similar with what i'm doing

[cyan stratus]

merc

[rancid girder]

would love 2 see a vid

[cyan stratus]

just double capacitor energy drink charged perforator

[dusk wing]

merc 1:09.54

[scenic surge]

wtf a merc trial?

[cyan stratus]

no lol

railgunner gets sub 1 easily

[scenic surge]

ah k

[dusk wing]

any idea of the route? cant do super crystal jumps because of glass (opal or plate cant tank that, not going for tougher times you crazy fucks), you're stuck with energy drinks and regular repulsion jumps and thats that

[cyan stratus]

try a vase

[edgy plover]

why doesnt the solus control unit spawn?

wait im tripping

this trial is abysmally hard

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcPOCHfC54U

free ethereal

[edgy plover]

how many mountain shirines is that

[edgy plover]

m

im too tired for coherent questions

[dusk wing]

kinda late, but couldnt find anything that worked with vase, merc end up being faster than anything that i tried

[cyan stratus]

you could get a 58 with double vase

[dusk wing]

double you mean, with fuel cell?

[dusk wing]

WHAT A PAINFUL TRIAL

[cyan stratus]

no just up to the pillar and then s2

you could get an ok vase from the equipment barrel

why did my first run get me to 21st

because only a spare few people are good enough to manage the incredibly high times

It's a quick falloff

[modern barn]

hows the current trial for ethereal

wait for the next day when it falls to 489th

finally: fast bazaar

[stone adder]

this is peak gaming ong @edgy plover look at the better player

[tender kraken]

Gamin

[edgy plover]

Gawd zamnn

[fleet crow]

gaming

[median crypt]

Did anyone else get a random void seed on the second stage?

[scenic surge]

Going into and then exiting the bazaar changes stage two layout

[median crypt]

ah, thank you, I was having a stroke

[scenic surge]

finally: slow bazaar

[dusk wing]

is it possible to achieve near 1 minute with railgunner in this trial?

[scenic surge]

1:08 MeaFreya

but hard

[dusk wing]

no idea how

i take 1 minute just to get to the first tp kekw

btw, is void skip viable on characters that arent loader?

[scenic surge]

acrid

sorta

because acrid slow lol

and most other direct movements it's doable, but generally when you're doing it either railgunner doing the two stages or loader are already faster

[dusk wing]

got it

thank ya

[scenic surge]

oh y’a and with non loaders the spawn position in the void fields matters a lot too

and also I don’t know if this helps Railgunner but going bazaar and dreaming for Rallypount makes for a close tp and ok boss

[upbeat yacht]

Hi so im trying to do the mercenary challenge and im pretty sure i did it but i didnt get the achievement
i went through the void thing and even the end screen says 0dmg taken but i didnt get it?
is it bc of the 10% health thing it auto fails?

hmm now it worked, third time complting it

[scenic surge]

you need to have brooch up 100% of the time while in the fog

[dusk wing]

wtf

[inland spire]

Going for ethereal rn, anything I should get from bazaar?

[scenic surge]

purity after one reroll maybe to go faster

[upper crescent]

yeah purity helped me doing my run ^

[cyan stratus]

why does every trial have glass now

[upper crescent]

suncles rigging the game to finally try and get ethereal

[scenic surge]

lol

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxj5dqfo8oM

[knotty walrus]

I cannot for the life of me do this fucking thing without taking damage

[dusk wing]

is there an hate club for blind pests? i would be an awesome addition to the club

[stone adder]

ya pest hate club good idea

[dusk wing]

gosh, i swear, 70% of my S1 fails are because of those fuckers

[somber oriole]

i did it with huntress and unlocked Ballista
i was only doing it to unlock the scythe

[dusk wing]

oh, do stage 3 in trials work for that?

good to know

[fleet crow]

wisps are harder to dodge than pests

[somber oriole]

apparently!!

[scenic surge]

yeah trials are a very easy way to get a lot of achievements

[fleet crow]

I got two achievements from trials (total)

[scenic surge]

interesting

you can get every huntress achievement in this trial

and every artificier achievement

[fleet crow]

You can get one shot one kill?

Is it command or is there a crowbar printer

[scenic surge]

theres a printer

and a total of 13 white itesm

[uneven cipher]

this helped me so much thank you mr cabbage

[edgy plover]

da hell is the pris trial lb doin

[scenic surge]

?

oh new pris today

[warped apex]

i'm currently 4th last time i checked

[cyan stratus]

i forgot the trial reset

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH8IoRfhBGU i guess

[scenic surge]

oh ye that hepens idk why

[cyan stratus]

lost to a commando

[candid ore]

i did a thing

[cyan stratus]

my s1 is faster but i don't think commando can beat that s2

[scenic surge]

sometimes the slam flings you to the tp to save 2s

also in a more competitive run it’s possible to punch the left one, slam on the right then grapple to tp

[gloomy quiver]

Is this trial good for ethereal?

[pearl berry]

huh just found out loader can hook through walls
yall speedrunners prolly know this already?

[scenic surge]

with more recent patch hook spawns farther ahead than you ye

makes swinging pylon less consistent though

[scenic surge]

yes

[tardy bay]

i knew i wasn't going crazy, my consistency with pylon swings went way down after patch and didn't know why

[rapid lion]

-2 consistency

[tardy bay]

[gloomy quiver]

Are the trials different on console?

[scenic surge]

yep

oh wait this trial could be hard on console

[gloomy quiver]

For me it’s command, kin, honor, fragility, chaos, and evolution

[frozen slate]

iirc consoles and PC dont have the same Pris Trials

[jolly ridge]

should i just

give up on trying to get the perfect acheivement on this one

stage 1 is hard and stage 2 is so inconsistent

i can get to the teleporter in 26 seconds as merc tho

i just cant kill the parents safely, is there a strong equipment or smtn i can use or

[worthy stone]

Look at cabbage tutorial vid

[jolly ridge]

thats not a tutorial this man is a psychopath

i dont think his start is too efficient ngl

but i should defo grab that eq barrell

[worthy stone]

[edgy plover]

best red item for pure dmg?

is it headstompers?

[cyan stratus]

yes

[edgy plover]

ok got a 1:19 with a wacky strat

maybe its colse enough to whatever strat zinq will come up with

that ill be cool

[gloomy quiver]

Why did the pris trials start on sky meadow

I wish I didn’t play console

[scenic surge]

aight @edgy plover

we going wacky?

i'm curious about your routing

[edgy plover]

get crystal that straight ahead

then swing to blue thingpast the tp

then get equipment

and the 2 crystals near there back towards the tp

[scenic surge]

it's punch time

which equip were you getting?

[edgy plover]

sawerrang >:)

sawmerrang

[scenic surge]

wait wtf

there's three newt alter on this map

[edgy plover]

yeah

[scenic surge]

but yeah you don't need saw when you become the damage

[edgy plover]

tru

i did funny thing tho, started at one titan, did saw, then punched to the far side of other titan

and when the saw returned to me it went thru the other one

[scenic surge]

SMART

[edgy plover]

i got thru to the bz at like the same time as u

but i suck at bz

could glass be faster?

[scenic surge]

uh not really

[edgy plover]

mmm

ima try ur route sorta

[scenic surge]

no purity seems faster

hmmm

faster route discovered, but requires freequip

[edgy plover]

hm

thats when u use equip first frame?

[scenic surge]

ye

[stone adder]

so swag and based of you

[edgy plover]

ok 1:24 with ur route so far

[scenic surge]

not freequip

[stone adder]

[scenic surge]

freequip

[edgy plover]

mmm

[stone adder]

hacks

[scenic surge]

routing

[edgy plover]

how hard is it to get the freequip

[scenic surge]

for me like 1/10

[edgy plover]

m

[scenic surge]

i think it may depend on hardware too

freequip saves about 3 seconds, because you could just settle for tricorn and punch the crystals

[stone adder]

is it easier if u turn on 30 fps cap

[scenic surge]

myabe

[stone adder]

idk just a suggestion if u wanna try it

[cyan stratus]

very creative

[river hatch]

wow!

now that is innovation

i pulled a quick 2:11:06 with rail gunner via brilliant behemoth/Atg missile- got lucky on imps with a missile off every crit shot

[inland spire]

todays trial good for ethereal?

[river hatch]

its swarm, and a little into aqueduct about 30 wisps will spawn on you + the final boss is 2 stone titans so its a little annoying

but you have 2 crystals near the tele and one next to a red item large crate so im certain its workable

the last boss wave is mending imps though so thats even more annoying

[inland spire]

are there 2 equip chests on stage 1?

[river hatch]

yes

right next to eachother, behind the tele by the 2 crystals, right on the side of the map

[inland spire]

so 2 accumulators should handle both teleporters right?

[river hatch]

you know what, yeah probably

the imps will be a little anoying if some spawn a little further away- but all you gotta do is sit back and let them swarm and fire

[inland spire]

can always stay in the air for a bit.

[river hatch]

yup yup

[inland spire]

Thanks for the help

[river hatch]

of course!

[inland spire]

Which legendary would I get

[river hatch]

honestly brilliant behemoth just jacks your damage up, so you can break the titans easier

that or shattering justice or symbiotic scorpion- i say just go damage to clear bosses and then get out of there

not much else really does anything, and even though you have preons- might as well have damage to clear little guys as well

you know, im gonna try the commando strat above but see if merc can do so actually

ok nvm lol i dont know why i thought merc had the damage or the cooldowns for that

[inland spire]

let's go I did it

I used the brilliant behemoth, topaz brooch, atg missile, and little disciple

[river hatch]

lets go!!!

[inland spire]

is it worth it?

[river hatch]

is what worth it?

[inland spire]

Ethereal

[river hatch]

oh the thing you get off of it? ive never really played with flurry of blades so i dont actually know

[inland spire]

Ok

[river hatch]

i was planning on trying it cause i like merc as a character but I haven't yet

i only got ethereal like yesterday lol

[inland spire]

I think it should maybe help me not get clapped by phase 3 of mithrix

[river hatch]

lol true

[zenith plinth]

yes

[keen wyvern]

is there anyway to quick reset

[scenic surge]

nope

[rapid lion]

not without the quick reset mod

[scenic surge]

and ThOsE aren't allowed in trials

[keen wyvern]

this is so annoying agagagasaasd

the beetle guard at the start is so aggravating

[keen wyvern]

[river hatch]

the beetle guard was the worst part

id finally hit my preferred red and get launched and take 3 seconds wasted

[inland spire]

Lost so many runs to him

[exotic quartz]

I'm still trying to do the prismatic trial with Mercenary but my god, I either suck or just seems impossible whenever I try it 😩

[keen wyvern]

i can do it easy but i cant do it without getting hit

[exotic quartz]

Lol that's the thing!! I cant do it without getting hit 😭 but I keep trying

[fleet crow]

no vields?

[tardy bay]

tp1 coulda been faster, redo now

with the newt detour stage 1, and the vent being across map from the null portal it'd be slower i'm sure

[distant leaf]

is there an equipment item in stage 1?

[distant leaf]

just got mercenary bullshit quest, did a variation of that, but i took 3 crowbars and 1 ice band to instantly kill the teapot with forced assault

[scenic surge]

hmmm

[cyan stratus]

is 25.16 s1 good

[scenic surge]

pretty

[cyan stratus]

idk how to play this character

[scenic surge]

i just did what xenon did but bought more stuff

normally with bands i'd loop back and buy the shrine after the tp too

my pb is 24.6 ish

[cyan stratus]

idk i just used pylon at the start

[cyan stratus]

so how do you get meteor to not do that on s2

[wraith cipher]

you get lucky sometimes

[cyan stratus]

but im not good enough to grind rng

[drowsy halo]

who takes first place in the Prismatic Trials? I tried to enter the top 10 players on the archer, but no items in the game will give such a quick completion as even in the top 30. But the first places are occupied by the players on the archer

[solemn fiber]

Usually cheaters get the top spots after a day or so after a trial starts

The actual players get the top spots early on

Less they somehow stopped the cheating thing in trials, but dunno

[scenic surge]

most trials huntress is actually pretty slow without cheating

[gloomy quiver]

What

[scenic surge]

Larva bounce

[tardy bay]

nice, we had completely different pre tp1 routes

[tardy bay]

if my bazaar was actually good :)

[tardy bay]

you're up brotherman

i may have crit but don't worry about that

[scenic surge]

4 entire people

[scenic surge]

aight will do ASAP

[cyan stratus]

fine, i will be the 5th

[hollow silo]

is there like a proper community mostly based around trials? kinda like the E-8 community? ive play a few trials and noticed reoccurring people, seems cool :)

[scenic surge]

sadly not really

most people who play trials reoccuringly will show up here though

[stone adder]

trials are cool !

[scenic surge]

@tardy bay

this trial has become rng let me know when you beat me

i also used your routing because you're the better player

[stone adder]

wow’

better than zinq? not real.

[tardy bay]

[scenic surge]

tf does that mean

[stone adder]

2 good tbh u are very skil

and im not coping for all the times you’ve beaten me

its cuz ur just like god or something

[scenic surge]

ye i do be pretty good

spent a bit of time doing trials

[tardy bay]

i don't wanna farm crits for this one, ggs good trial

[scenic surge]

don't need crits

[tardy bay]

i need crits

[scenic surge]

just need 5% proc

or 0.05% proc of insta kill

[tardy bay]

oh we sticking up, i see

[stone adder]

just become god kill all 3 crystals hit alter and teleporter in the same frame

easy pb

[tardy bay]

next_stage
next_stage
easy win

[stone adder]

mhm

[scenic surge]

[stone adder]

mhm exactly

[scenic surge]

meteorbs definetely hit alter

[stone adder]

da

[scenic surge]

simply too op

[stone adder]

ya tonic just sends to the next stage

[scenic surge]

are you not?

[tardy bay]

i am not

[scenic surge]

i assumed you just missed sticky grab in your vid

[stone adder]

uhh just win

[tardy bay]

i never took it lol, fine i'll run it later

[stone adder]

also is this trial fun or do i get sad

cuz it sounds like a get sad kinda trial

[scenic surge]

so let me get this straight: you bought a damage item, swung by it so it did the highlight to collect, then left it on the ground for every run

interesting

[scenic surge]

yep it's one of those

crits/procs/thunderpunch management

[stone adder]

k i lose

im not gonna hop on ror

[scenic surge]

i mean you can drive

no need to play loader, loader is boring

try first placing with a different character

[stone adder]

trashcan on wheels

[scenic surge]

like acrid mul-t

[stone adder]

or covid dog

or shooty bitxh

my favorite 3 non loader survivors

[scenic surge]

here's some free mul-t routing where you go slow, hit none of the crystals and lose all your hp

or you could try to beat ruddycub's insane captain time too, which is a fun character

[stone adder]

i have never played cpatian

[scenic surge]

walk and drop bombs

[stone adder]

only shooty bitch, newgen shooty bitch, covid dog, punch punch, 4x pew pew, ninja, and trash can on wheels

(the real names)

[cyan stratus]

void fields yikes

[scenic surge]

no way are you punching those beetles

[cyan stratus]

just use a tricorn

no only did a couple runs

[scenic surge]

this routing feels wrong

[cyan stratus]

nah that's what i'm doing minus the thunderslam, the backupmag and the purity and i'm also doing some other stuff on s1

but i'm definitely playing loader

i can send a vid of my route if you want

[scenic surge]

oh no purity, interesiting

p-sure I can beat with purity

[cyan stratus]

i mean i'd be surprised if you couldnt beat that time

[scenic surge]

i'm close but the runs are annoyingly precise

[scenic surge]

pls do

[cyan stratus]

that's cool and all but why are you trying to get 30 extra gold at the end of s1

[scenic surge]

I’m not it’s a self challenge where I get as close as possible to throwing the run

twas close there

[cyan stratus]

well your route is nice so i wouldn't want to spoil it by showing my own, uninspired boring route

[scenic surge]

[scenic surge]

pain

[cyan stratus]

although i'm against hiding strats i think it's cool to see the different routes that appear when people don't do the same thing

i'll go try to get a reasonable time then show my route

[scenic surge]

the only time i hide strats is when i think its obnoxious to send 30 videos in a row

[cyan stratus]

i mean idk i thought there was only 1 way you could do this trial

[scenic surge]

i knew there had to be a different way when you got 6s faster then my best time within an hour of the trial starting

although i can't figure it out somehow

[cyan stratus]

i mean arent our times like the same

[scenic surge]

yeah now they are

[cyan stratus]

oh i see what you're saying

[scenic surge]

but i've spent

[cyan stratus]

i'm bad so my route has to be much better if i'm able to get that time

yeah i get that

[scenic surge]

a

l o t

of hours

doing this

[cyan stratus]

i got 52 in 10 runs

[scenic surge]

i got 52 in 10 hours

well not really but felt like that

main issue is i keep messing up somewhere stupid

and bazaar is still hard

[cyan stratus]

have you tried using the superior special skill

[scenic surge]

i don't like pylon as much

[cyan stratus]

wow

[scenic surge]

i enjoy the tiny air bounce of slam

it happened

[cyan stratus]

deserved

[scenic surge]

probably

do you know why sometimes after a bit it spawns an overloading pest instead?

[cyan stratus]

glacial? you blocked the spawn

[scenic surge]

overloading

[cyan stratus]

yea idk

hmm wait actually my route is maybe bad

[scenic surge]

hmm

i mean as of right now its #1

[cyan stratus]

good players are sleeping

[scenic surge]

that's true

[cyan stratus]

man all the good players left the server so i can't even tag them

i wonder what kind of routes those guys would've come up with lol

[scenic surge]

void fields sorta limits the route making

[cyan stratus]

unfortunately

[scenic surge]

as well as the fact that you have to hit newt

compress time

[cyan stratus]

no route for you

fine...

[scenic surge]

so i feel routes cant be as different nowadays

[cyan stratus]

yea you're right

[scenic surge]

compression and a half

fits the "8mb" cap

[cyan stratus]

yea had to get it under 8mb somehow

shouldnt be too bad

[scenic surge]

the cap is actually 100mb

btw

[cyan stratus]

yea but if it's too big it won't show and people have to download it instead

[scenic surge]

u know that though

so far most my uploads are around 90 and show just fine

for me though

[cyan stratus]

oh hmm

maybe outdated then

[scenic surge]

well i mean

i'm probably gonna continue with the thunderslam route because its mine

and i missed 5 pylon swings in a row

[cyan stratus]

.

i found a better route with equipment glitch capacitor so you can also use it on the bat but my keybinds don't allow equipment glitch + punch

and i can't bother rebinding so i'm gonna pass on that one

[scenic surge]

i rebound my special to left alt for the adjacent keys with the equip glitch

still recovering

[cyan stratus]

yea just R and F do that for me

but holding E while doing that... nah

would need to do E with 2 and R,F with 3,4 then 5 for W and thumb for shift but i'm not doing that

or the other way around i mean

too complicated anyways lol i'll leave that for someone else to grind

[scenic surge]

it's likely no-one will grind that

[cyan stratus]

idk for the previous trial with meteor i saw some pretty good times up there

i did a couple runs and wasn't able to get close

[scenic surge]

seems like they come for the very fast ones

sub 50

[cyan stratus]

this one can be sub 50 though

[scenic surge]

barely

[cyan stratus]

idk that huntress did it in 48

[scenic surge]

huntress is the fastest character

DAN

DAMN

FINALLY

turns out i was losing a second every stage one i played

i could've simply been going faster

@cyan stratus reason to grind

[cyan stratus]

hmm maybe tomorrow

[tardy bay]

beat Steeve

[scenic surge]

no you beat Steeve

[cyan stratus]

guess it's rebinding time

[cyan stratus]

took too long

threw bazaar too lol

little better

[scenic surge]

ah well

that’s more than one second

[cyan stratus]

sub 50 is very possible but i won't do it unless you give me a reason to

[scenic surge]

probably enough to stay winning

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L-5NmKXXxY guess i'll post it

it's free to beat if you wanna change your strat

[scenic surge]

jesus that bazaar verey good lol

ok so what if i do that strat

but go 10s slower on stage one

BLAZING PEST

SHOOTS TWICE

[cyan stratus]

so yea that bat is probably the worst thing in trials since mr. jumpy

can't even practice a proper setup because it just kills you if you stand still for 0.1 seconds

[spice lily]

How the hell do I not take damage from blind pests??

[shy gazelle]

just kill them

[edgy idol]

walk in a direction basically

[shy gazelle]

B)

[edgy idol]

if you just walk around they cannot hit you

but also you should probably just kill them yeah

[spice lily]

Sucks when I'm a melee character vs a blazing pest

2nd question, does taking shaped glass count as falling below 100% health? Same question for taking damage with barrier

[scenic surge]

no

both don't count

but with the blue shield, since it's part of the healthbar, it does count as losing hp

[spice lily]

Cool, so I am using the right strat

Finally got Etherial!

[scenic surge]

🏅

[cyan stratus]

any loaders

[scenic surge]

not really

i have discovered

an issue

this was almost pb

maybe i should git gud

[cyan stratus]

have you tried a pylon

[scenic surge]

ye

pest killed me one too many times

[scenic surge]

@cyan stratus so uh

https://youtu.be/_1s11PRa6lw guess i'll post it

[cyan stratus]

...........

why do you always miss the bat with your grapple though that's losing like a good amount of time

[scenic surge]

because I’m bad

it’s not quite that much because you have to charge punch a bit more, but you can slam to sorta make up for it

[scenic surge]

for lethal

[tardy bay]

loader sucks

[fringe minnow]

yo momma

[stone adder]

yeah i hate loader

:(

[scenic surge]

what even is a "the loader"

[stone adder]

[fleet crow]

Not Loader

Not Railgunner

Not Captain

Not Mercenary

[scenic surge]

who would play as the meta when you could go slowly

[fleet crow]

I wonder if there will ever be a time where Commencement is the faster S2

[scenic surge]

unlikely

because rescue ship takes 60s, and mithrix phases take at least some time to even spawn

although I imagine it is possible with unfortunate void seeds that it may be necessary for ethereal

[cyan stratus]

would be cool but is never going to happen

[scenic skiff]

are you that guy that does mercenary prismatic trial videos

[cyan stratus]

does void fiend have longer crystal jump range than arti?

or did you do strange interaction with the crystal

[scenic surge]

tbh I’ve never played arti for trials

[scenic surge]

I just assumed viend was better because the dps

but there’s like three parts to void fiend jump, the knock back of the orb, the self recoil, and the crystal knock back.

[wary depot]

i think he goes farther than arti

she only gets recoil from shooting nano bomb not from explosion

[wary depot]

shit he goes way farther lol

[cyan stratus]
