[fleet crow]

Zinq has helped me find new newt altar spawns multiple times

[real basalt]

bruh this fricking mercenary challenge is imposible

i want to strangle myself

[fleet crow]

have you

[real basalt]

me

[fleet crow]

follow cabbag

[real basalt]

i have buuut that is not todays

[clever surge]

https://youtu.be/qxGQpjrKU74

here is my route

[real basalt]

k

[fleet crow]

hey Cabbage, what's your times picked for Mercenary

if you even see this message

[real basalt]

probably over the amount you can see

[scenic surge]

I see you’re a grapple reset enthusiast

@real basalt console?

[real basalt]

wait do you have to be merc for the challenge

[scenic surge]

ye

[real basalt]

yes

sad

[scenic surge]

yeah console has different trials

[real basalt]

i am going to kms

[scenic surge]

which is unfortunate

[real basalt]

mlkvjgbgujnhvcmioe\

what is tommorows

[scenic surge]

idk

there’s no way to know in advance the trial

[real basalt]

bruh

😦

[scenic surge]

but uh

for trials good artifacts are

command or glass, both make a trial pretty free

unless there’s sacrifice with command

[real basalt]

yes but the merc challenge is impossible

wisps bro the fricking wispssss

[scenic surge]

brooch, which gives the yellow health (barrier) doesn’t count as dropping below 100% hp

[real basalt]

aughhhhhhhhhh

can find any

also what r the chances of an overloading wurmmm

[scenic surge]

low

in a trial, very very very low

but you can simply loop a bunch and you’ll see one around loop3

[real basalt]

sad ness

aight ima keep grinding

[scenic surge]

Good luck

[real basalt]

thx

[clever surge]

yeah probably

[scenic surge]

aight'

using one reset heres a faster s1

courtesy of @clever surge

not using the grapple and doing a better punch saves a lotta time

[cyan stratus]

i have like 20 profiles so this is completely inaccurate but this is for my main profile

loader is definitely #1 overall though

[scenic surge]

loader best

and speedrunning makes loader happen

[cyan stratus]

i dont think houseplant can beat the loader this trial

[wary depot]

no

but plant is poggers

[scenic surge]

loader definetely can't beat gunner though

[fleet crow]

I'm surprised, considering how many Merc runs you must do, what with the Ethereal

[cyan stratus]

grinding for a good time takes much more resets than just doing a couple runs until i don't get hit for one of them

takes max. 10 attempts per trial for most

[scenic surge]

^

[scenic surge]

@wary depot

[wary depot]

well i had like 3 runs that would've pbd by like a second but everytime the dunestrider decideds to spawn in a different spot

ggs cabbage

[serene minnow]

i just recently started playing this game and wanted to unlock the harvester scythe, is there a guide for the current seed? or any tips for me to complete the challenge to unlock that item?

[brave elm]

Are you on console or pc?

[serene minnow]

pc

[brave elm]

Cabbage does every trial hitless as merc as a guide for the other prismatic trial achievement, you can find it in pins here (it might help you see what items there are to grab)

Other than that pick the character yout best at, and play until you find a good route to win

[fleet crow]

cabbag

[serene minnow]

actually i just now beat it, used commando and found a spot to cheese the queens on the first stage, and just now on 2nd stage i activated the portal and i think the boss died instantly. i dont even know what boss it was

[brave elm]

Good for you!

Still recommend cabbage for that merc achievement

[serene minnow]

def i just saw the pin for the 27th, but i still need to unlock merc too

[brave elm]

Good luck when the time comes, its a hard one

[scenic surge]

how would you rank the characters in trials based off speed consistency , from highest to lowest.

[stone adder]

commando first (obviously)

[cyan stratus]

you can't really do that since it depends on artifacts

[scenic surge]

speaking of artifacts

[wary depot]

this trial kinda sug

[scenic surge]

ye

but there egg

https://youtu.be/S4a1ZmWuu2Q

not an actualy run but messing around with egg routing

[wary depot]

lol

i dont think egg would be faster than chrysalis but idk

got sub 2 with arty

[scenic surge]

chrysalis probably faster but egg fun

[cyan stratus]

[late kestrel]

are there lunar buds on the first stage

[scenic surge]

not this one i don't think

[late kestrel]

bruh

[sleek plover]

the ps4 trial is insane for merc alt special js

in case any ps4 players tryna get that, nows the time

[zenith plinth]

ima wait for glass and command

[tardy bay]

pls tell me there's no captain > 21 rank

[clever surge]

no i guess

[void fossil]

is todays prismatic trial easy

[scenic surge]

pc?

uh, the boss is sort of annoying, but if you loot up enough before hand with preon and damage you can quickly kill

[dark latch]

Pretend I didn't lose 3 secs to eating golem lasers

[scenic surge]

nice

good stuff with the boss block s1

[zenith plinth]

in the trial, with command, do you only have access to items you've unlocked

[scenic surge]

no, every item

but it would'nt count towards logbook completion to grad the item

if you don't already have it unlocked

[zenith plinth]

ye cool

new save file, no preon

yet

I'm just waiting for a glass/command trial for merc + preon for ultra cheese

[scenic surge]

this one has command, but the bosses are sorta annoying

[zenith plinth]

I rly want glass as well tbh

topaz hits dont count right

[scenic surge]

nope, they don't count

[zenith plinth]

what about shield gen

[scenic surge]

shield gen does count

[zenith plinth]

oof

kk ty

[scenic surge]

really missed bazaar but i think i crit a punch on b1?

[clever surge]

i was doing 2 crowbar and 1 ice band but i can't play like this

[tardy bay]

I totally missed that first eq barrel :) nice route

[gloomy quiver]

Bro this just ruined my day

I spent all my lunar coins on purity for ethereal

Because the one time it is glass command I have 13 minutes left to do it

I’m about to finish the challenge

The boss is blazing wandering vagrant

And it spawned right on me

And it brought me below 100%

I’m so fucking done with this

[next cosmos]

Etheral stinky

All my homies hate Ethereal

[zenith plinth]

current trial sux for ethereal

[cyan stratus]

it's been 3 days already??

[zenith plinth]

[cyan stratus]

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

[zenith plinth]

ur so fast

[cold notch]

Are prismatic trials on console worth it

[zenith plinth]

cabbage the goat fr

[fleet crow]

Literally within 10 minutes, Cabbage how is this even possible

[zenith plinth]

dudes cracked

[cyan stratus]

no i already ran through and thought of a route before i posted the 1st message

fastest i've uploaded a trial is like 10-15 minutes after the new trial starts

Also its 9/11

[fleet crow]

Such a good huntress player

[next cosmos]

Does the primsatic trial change slightly over time?

Chest price has increased for me, item drops are dfferent and the quipment barrel by the teleporter is now GONEE!!!

WHAT IS HAPPENINGGG!!?!?!?!?

[stone adder]

prob because you played multiplayer

often that will change trials slightly

if you restart ur game it should fix it

[next cosmos]

OHH THANK YOU SO MUCH

pzlpzlpzlz work if it does youre actually the cutest

[cyan stratus]

hud is a massive waste of time, just get the 1/100? it doesn't do anything except increase your chances

[scenic surge]

true ye what am I thinking

[cyan stratus]

back in my day we either grinded the 1/100 or got some glasses to make it 11/100

trial players nowadays are so spoiled, too lazy to do any hard work

[scenic surge]

true

[cyan stratus]

really disappointed by this generation

[scenic surge]

and void fields so I don’t have to ever to s2

[cyan stratus]

that was just the start of it all..

[scenic surge]

really you just have to do like 15 runs and you go top

[cyan stratus]

but there has to be a better way than crowbar and hud though

[remote musk]

https://medal.tv/games/ror-2/clips/AvggvdIVVNgsj/d13376hBGkL3?invite=cr-MSxJRzAsNDIwMTA5Njgs boutta get a sub 3 but the vagrant was too high

wait doing void fields counts as stage 2?

[cyan stratus]

after the update yes

[scenic surge]

there's like preon

but from my 2 test runs, it can only hit one at a time from spawn

[cyan stratus]

oh right you can't use a free equip with enigma

whatever then boring trial

[scenic surge]

the titans are also in a good positions for hooking saws on the rock

but too lazy to test that

and there's also finally like a blue equip in a pod by a crystal for tonic

[cyan stratus]

ok fine how does this thunderslam thing work i've actually used it like once

[scenic surge]

what thing

uh oh

[cyan stratus]

like just the ability in general

[scenic surge]

does a small jump, and then slams for 240 damage

you can't start an ability during jump

[cyan stratus]

like i can beat your time with pylon but thunderslam is just objectively faster

[scenic surge]

applies slight momentum downwards

[cyan stratus]

ok but that thing in the bazaar

[scenic surge]

oh uh

with quail, you start charging upon stage entry and dash jump

then when the wall thing comes within like a straight line you punch into it to keep momentum

[cyan stratus]

nvm figured it out

[scenic surge]

nice

did u beat me or nah

[cyan stratus]

not with pylon

[scenic surge]

y'know maybe i should use pylon

uh

rather unfortunate

[cyan stratus]

1

[scenic surge]

winning with pylons very doable

[cyan stratus]

yea i know i got like 1:02 on a test run

32.7 s1 but had no idea what to do with thunderslam bazaar

also almost went the wrong way in void fields lol

[scenic surge]

yep

i did like 8 360's before realizing you face almost the right direction once

[cyan stratus]

wait you do???

[scenic surge]

unless that was last trial

they all blur together in void fields

i remember hearing something that the direction your facing in the last staget affects the void fields direction but i can't confirm or deny that

[cyan stratus]

not sure where you heard that but sounds like something wig would say

completely wrong

[scenic surge]

ye

[cyan stratus]

32.4 s1

[scenic surge]

i wonder if theres an equipment drone

for double equip

that's fast

not good but a pylon pb

sorry 32.4 s s1

that's very good

like 53s

[cyan stratus]

i feel like you post a bad route on purpose to make me boot up the trial so you have competition

it's gotta be bait

[scenic surge]

i post the first route that gets me #1

and generally that doesn't take very long to get

[cyan stratus]

nah i don't buy it

you knew that hud would tilt me

[cyan stratus]

go get a 52

[scenic surge]

that would not be pylon though

ready for some routing?

sadly no hud anymore

[cyan stratus]

oh come on you're so close

you can do better than that

[scenic surge]

what

why

[cyan stratus]

think

[scenic surge]

no why

are you suggesting a pylon plug or something?

or just taking thunderslame and doing the same thing but faster

[cyan stratus]

i mean i'm using thunderslam

[scenic surge]

it appears i'm unable to thing

unless by think you mean ignore crowbar and crit

[cyan stratus]

31.9 s1, peak bazaar right here

i mean i'd tell you my route but last time we came up with our own routes we got the exact same time

so i'll give it a bit longer

[scenic surge]

k

[cyan stratus]

.....30.04 s1

i literally walked half the path to the void portal i'm so bad

[scenic surge]

ok but what about

40 s s1

[cyan stratus]

sounds good 👍

ok the bazaar isn't possible

can't be bothered anymore, here's a 30 second s1

watch it if you're uncreative

[scenic surge]

hmm

ill give it until tonight before i watch

[cyan stratus]

respectable

[scenic surge]

hitting two mountain shrines does not make you go faster, it summons six titans

[cyan stratus]

yes but you get 4 items, think about that for a second

[scenic surge]

3

[cyan stratus]

you're getting closer

what do you mean 3

[scenic surge]

is it not 3 items?

one per shrine

[cyan stratus]

i've played the base game about 2 times so i'm not sure

we don't use mountain shrine in trials

[scenic surge]

i'm not confident either

[fleet crow]

Shrines are +100% credits and +100% items

So in singleplayer, +1 item per shrine

[cyan stratus]

i thought it multiplied by 2 for each shrine

[scenic surge]

well i know it's six titans

[cyan stratus]

well i've only really played multiplayer with 2 people so i guess that's why i thought it multiplied

[scenic surge]

ye

[cyan stratus]

2 -> 4

you know i probably have the worst game hours to game knowledge ratio

1.7k hours and i know next to nothing

[fleet crow]

Nope

It does the same to bosses

Assuming the TP would summon one Stone Titan with no shrines

It would summon 3 titans after 2 shrines

It's like

"Doubles" but actually just +100%

[scenic surge]

this can't be right

not this for routing, right

[cyan stratus]

yeah that's exactly it

(no it isn't)

[scenic surge]

so far 34

[cyan stratus]

i just thunderslammed a ceiling

i hate this ability

[scenic surge]

i seem to e

slow

[cyan stratus]

did i win the bazaar?

[scenic surge]

yes

[cyan stratus]

cool, time to literally never get that again

[scenic surge]

i mean

sometimes you can get near good bazaars

[cyan stratus]

there's gotta be a better strat..

[scenic surge]

for bazaar?

[cyan stratus]

yea

[scenic surge]

you can hold grapple for longer a bit

[cyan stratus]

nah i mean like

something really good

[scenic surge]

your headset bazaar

[cyan stratus]

yea i tried headset strats s1 but was too slow

[scenic surge]

there's a red?

[cyan stratus]

no, that's why it was slow

[cyan stratus]

i regret this already

[scenic surge]

why don't you gain 10% crit chance with tonic

[scenic surge]

32s s1

with just tonic

[scenic surge]

time to watch strat

ah

I was grabbing bison steak

With tincture

[cyan stratus]

oh there you go, you were pretty close then

[scenic surge]

I forgot how much damage tincture deals

[novel axle]

Any tips for completing Prismatic Trials? Im kinda new to this game and i require harvester scythe

However, i suffer from a case of being kinda bad

[scenic surge]

ok so

be loader, use the elephant once

hit the newt alter (as shown in a video above)

grab a fuel cell from the large chest up top

near the teleporter, grab a tricorn

wait until cooldown than shoot both the bosses

exit void fields and win

[novel axle]

Sweet, thanks.

[stone adder]

doesnt tricorn only work once

[scenic surge]

you get another tricorn

b-cause enigma

that’s why you use the elephant beforehand for equipment changing

[stone adder]

ah

[cyan stratus]

any loaders

[scenic surge]

nope

[cyan stratus]

afdskgjhfdsj;klgl;hsgfdjlk;hdhgf

-3 hours

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

ignore the title

[scenic surge]

. . .

smh, not even a crit

did you know, the ocular hud equipment () provides 100% crit chance?

[cyan stratus]

my s1 pb is 29.59 without crit, only good time i got crit was 29.9

[scenic surge]

I notice you aren’t buying the equipment barrel after hitting the blue portal

that’s saves a substantial amount of time

[cyan stratus]

i dont have cooldowns for that

[scenic surge]

ye I’m blind

Twas your punch, not grapple off cooldown

[cyan stratus]

does it actually make a big difference though? i got the impression that it didn't save much time to buy something after tp

what i'm more interested in is why my punch does up to 365 sometimes but 271 the majority of the time

i know it's a speed thing but without grapple involved it has to be something with thunderslam

[scenic surge]

jumping and punching downwards makes you do considerably more damage

[cyan stratus]

yea idk i tried that it just seemed random

[scenic surge]

so maybe slam punching down does less up more?

I’m assuming your sprinting

slam cancels sprint so maybe slam before punch slows down and less damage, where slam after punch = more damage

[cyan stratus]

361

and no, i never sprint for that

[scenic surge]

ye idk I’m just guessing

do you have vid of 270?

[cyan stratus]

up there lmao

that run was very bad but still good enough for a sub 52

[scenic surge]

yea seems to be just the slam hit before the punch

[cyan stratus]

but sometimes it's like 320, 340, 290

[scenic surge]

maybe angle of punch?

[cyan stratus]

so does the punch take the speed from thunderslam, and thunderslam speed is highest right before it hits?

idk that ability is stupid, switching back to pylon

[scenic surge]

maybe? probably?

[cyan stratus]

where's the sub 51 btw

[scenic surge]

not in the spinal tonic bottle

[cyan stratus]

hmm i'm almost tempted to boot up the trial again to see if i can save some time if that thunderslam punch thing actually works

go beat me so i have a reason to

[fleet crow]

zinq what is your loader times picked

I must know

[scenic surge]

do trials count for the logbook?

either way with speedrunning like 90%

[fleet crow]

fairly sure

[cyan stratus]

yeah they do

but since you have a separate profile for speedrunning it won't be accurate

[scenic surge]

you think I have a separate profile

[cyan stratus]

alright i'm leaving

[scenic surge]

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itU13qzg3ZU

[cold notch]

Console players are the trails good for mercenary

[scenic surge]

where the huds be at

[cyan stratus]

i turn it off for other things and then forget to turn it back on

oh wait you weren't talking about the input sensor were you

[scenic surge]

😳

[wary depot]

huntress could prob get 1:21 at best

[scenic surge]

mayb

[cyan stratus]

any loaders

[scenic surge]

soon™️

[scenic surge]

meh

[scenic surge]

oh yeah and look at that no lobby reset true beauty

[cyan stratus]

you didn't even skip the other screen, not impressed

like half of my resets i don't see either of the screens but my computer is slow so idk

[scenic surge]

I cannot say I’ve ever done that

[cyan stratus]

your computer is just better then

[fleet crow]

Sub 1 when?

Seems like that Bandit did it no problem

[empty rover]

the fact that Void Fields counts as the 2nd stage is really dumb lol

[wary depot]

its a crutch for slow characters

ban loader

[cyan stratus]

wtf

i think i just won the bazaar

[clever surge]

i did not coppy @scenic surge 's route. I have my own route

[scenic surge]

yep

[scenic surge]

ok

[tardy bay]

please start sprinting during your grapple

[cyan stratus]

?

[scenic surge]

? (?)

[cyan stratus]

???

[scenic surge]

[coarse elm]

(?) (?(?)?)

[long hazel]

???(?)

[wary depot]

!

[tardy bay]

any captains above me?

[wary depot]

I was a sellout this trial and ran huntress

I may try a cap run

[tardy bay]

at least you didn't follow those loser loaders and their stupid grapple

[clever surge]

yeah i notice i didn't do that but it's so hard when you hold shift(for punch) and press ctrl

[tardy bay]

yeah i feel that, thats why i rebound sprint to m5, it really helps loader gameplay

[clever surge]

yeah i need to think change key for sprint, thanks

[remote musk]

@tardy bay can you send the captain 1:32 run? just curious how the hell you did that

[weak yoke]

What is the current trial? (Im not at home atm)

[tardy bay]

i can record the route later today

[remote musk]

thanks :)

[fading hollow]

so how good is the current trial for that one merc achievment

i mean i just watched the vid up there and it doesnt look bad but im uh.. bad at this game so should i try waiting for an easier one or

[empty rover]

Literally perfect

1st stage is free

2nd stage enemies kill each other

Only one purchase necessary

[empty rover]

This is the one

Do it before it's too late

[fading hollow]

sweet

how much longer till its gone cuz i might take uh

a while

[scenic surge]

2 days

[fading hollow]

oh ok yea i can do this

[fading hollow]

this achievement sucks

:[

[tardy bay]

https://streamable.com/9lx9j1

[cyan stratus]

do you use a macro for that? or is it just rebind

[tardy bay]

no macro, just the binds in the right bottom

[wary depot]

Wtf i didn't know that was a thing

are you just using the R ability to remove the m1 cooldown?

[tardy bay]

https://youtu.be/9FonE7-gbOE?t=310

[remote musk]

new seed in 37

you spawn with tricorn

[wary depot]

neat

If you can take enough damage you can proc genesis loop and one shot all the bells s2, idk if that will be faster on captain but I used it for huntress

[remote musk]

is there no newt alter or am i just stupid

[tardy bay]

speed shooting trial for people who want to practice

[tardy bay]

this variant of roost can have no newt spawn

[remote musk]

aw dam

no cheating :(

[tender silo]

pris any good today?

[edgy plover]

loader has some goofy strats

but ill try cap

[wary depot]

Did trial reroll? Not at pc

[edgy plover]

yup

[scenic surge]

wait reroll today?

[scenic surge]

[edgy plover]

but how

hm

[scenic surge]

guess

[wary depot]

Is it glass trial?

[scenic surge]

nope

[edgy plover]

i cant get a line on a third crystal with voidfiend

[scenic surge]

there's an incredibly precise m2 line

[edgy plover]

oh well

[scenic surge]

or just use m1

https://youtu.be/cWzQ_tbCOtA

i was waiting around for cooldown there

[old token]

@tribal parrot

[cyan stratus]

wait so you just lied to me

now i have to go do a trial?

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpXL9PitI6Y i guess

[tardy bay]

I'm surprised you don't have a reminder for every 3 days tbh

[cyan stratus]

i usually remember it but sometimes i forget / think it's a day later

[fleet crow]

After over 300 of them it must already be a habit

[cosmic stone]

[scenic surge]

hollldup

tricorn allows you to use the next equip

notice elepahnt as well

[tardy bay]

yeah my route will never get your 1:02 any hints?

[scenic surge]

i got one that would

if i can aim s2

[tardy bay]

are you diabloing

[tardy bay]

yeah i'm using orbital

that diablo is a tight squeeze

[scenic surge]

very

[tardy bay]

what eq are you left with for s2?

[scenic surge]

vase

[tardy bay]

oh yeah you get locked with recycler after backup

[scenic surge]

@dark latch

void fiend was capped out with 1 minute cooldown on tricorn

full route

solid amount of time to save s1

[tardy bay]

crystal 2 on s1 is annoying

[scenic surge]

ah

[tardy bay]

imma cry

[scenic surge]

are you just doing what i'm doing but much better?

[tardy bay]

yes

[scenic surge]

capeing

do you know what caused it?

[tardy bay]

some changes in captain's hitbox, i know its semi common with egg but idk how do force it

[tardy bay]

i will rest now

[scenic surge]

but wait

you didn't kill the vagrants with a tazer

[tardy bay]

my 2nd diablo placement was slow

[scenic surge]

mine were considerably slower

[tardy bay]

this ones so reliant on how early you can get your diablo placed on each stage

[scenic surge]

yep

[tardy bay]

someone beat the mandr for me

[scenic surge]

@dark latch

[dark latch]

I'll give it a go but I doubt I'd beat it

[dark latch]

Forgot to record but it's same as Cap's run but with earlier diablo

[tardy bay]

gg

i think with perfect diablo timings it could be a 58s run but i ain't trying it

[dark latch]

Might need to place diablo before both s1 beacons to get that

But that might need a crit

[tardy bay]

crystal crit farming

i haven't played much with boss skipping vagrants with captain m1 but it'd be interesting and totally not worth trying

[scenic surge]

you can diablo crit farm s2 i think

[cyan stratus]

boss skipping a vagrant is not possible

[tardy bay]

is it not? thats too bad

well i don't have to test it now so thank you

[cyan stratus]

no i just said that so someone would post a clip and i didn't have to figure it out myself

[tardy bay]

[clever surge]

Yeah i tried boss skip on vagrant in previous trial with loader. I tried many times but i couldn't. It may be true.

[scenic surge]

AWU boss skip is 100 times easier than natural spawning boss skip

[tardy bay]

[tardy bay]

dang xenon sucks!!

[scenic surge]

what

it’s still only RuddyCub and you ahead, right?

[tardy bay]

just me

[scenic surge]

oh drone interesting

still too precise for me

[tardy bay]

yeah i just had nothing to do today so

[scenic surge]

[tardy bay]

ruddy pls

[dark latch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob7_LkZWjaI

Also do you reckon another s2 shrine purchase will save much time?

[marsh finch]

yeah betch magnets

[tardy bay]

if you're doing that maybe just beacon the closer crystal vase from the back and leave crunder on

thats probably too messy to be faster though

[dark latch]

I did a run with double shrine and I think it might be slower actually

Since you get to level 4 a little slower

[tardy bay]

yeah i'm retiring from this trail but good luck if you can find a 58s run

my s2 diablo placements are so slow its sad

[tardy bay]

my game got stuck on a black screen, its a sign to let you have this win

[dark latch]

Well I won't have time until the next trial so it's there to take

[twin sail]

Anyone want to do a prismatic trials with me?

yoo same

[scenic surge]

kin trial boring

[shadow perch]

does anyone have any tips for beating the mercenary ethereal achieve

[scenic surge]

@cyan stratus

this one is pretty easy for pc, go up

[shadow perch]

in discord or the game

[scenic surge]

all the enemies are grounded

[shadow perch]

oh

kinda forgot about that

[scenic surge]

oh and theres some good spots here too

[shadow perch]

where?

[scenic surge]

aight

@shadow perch boss 2

[shadow perch]

wow ok then

thanks

[scenic surge]

@shadow perch boss 1, just wiggle between positions

make sure to avoid being in wisp range stage1

neither of these enemies are very smart

[shadow perch]

ok

[scenic surge]

and for moving between positions, to the tp and whatnot, sorta just make sure to not stay on the ground, and avoid killing any enemies

wisps are harder to dodge than both these guys

good luck!

[shadow perch]

ty

just beat the first stage

then got hit by a black flying ball

[scenic surge]

what?

[shadow perch]

yeah

[shadow perch]

so im on the second boss

except the healthbar is just stuck at 672

oh

now it went up to 789

oh

its becaues I got o medium difficulty

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epak3pc6fW4 finally ended up getting this achievement with mercenary

[scenic surge]

nice

nice spots

[cyan stratus]

i only saw your s2 one so if the s1 one is the same that's pretty funny

[scenic surge]

possible that the imp became boidtouched and immune to fog?

[cyan stratus]

yeah that's an issue maybe

in that case just leave the pc running overnight it'll sort itself out eventually

[scenic surge]

😳

[shadow perch]

i just killed myself

also is there a way to prevent an imp from getting boidtouched

[scenic surge]

kill the voidtouched before activating tp with evis

[cyan stratus]

do not do that

[scenic surge]

yeah

that’s probably harder

[tardy bay]

yeah imma pass on this trial

[shadow perch]

I think it happened again

wait no

health is still going down

its at 460

BEAT IT

that was my first prismatic trial too

wow I guess not alot of people play this since im #16 at 5:41

hey I see you cabbage

[cyan stratus]

irl?

[shadow perch]

nah

on the leaderboard

[cyan stratus]

oh i see

[shadow perch]

[scenic surge]

kin = bad

thought about doing stage 2 but it’s also just imps

[tardy bay]

if they'd all fit in 1 diablo i wouldn't mind but imps are a bitch for that

[cyan stratus]

this trial has a naturally spawning blue portal so it's great for speedrunning

[twin sail]

just did the ethereal task for merc

[wary depot]

this trial is very not fun

rex could sub 1:50 but i cba

[tardy bay]

alright who's beating Leo

[twin sail]

I do

Ill quick open up ms pain and write my name over Leo's badly

[twin sail]

Impressively done cap

now do me

[cyan stratus]

your own name is highlighted on the leaderboard, terrible recreation

[edgy plover]

i took that screenshot and sent it to cap actually

[cyan stratus]

oh nvm then

you're near the top so you can see 1st place then?

[edgy plover]

yeye

[cyan stratus]

nice

[edgy plover]

im wondering if stage 2 is viable on loader

[scenic surge]

Unlikely

[zenith plinth]

You can literally see the black box around the name cause you faked it

[tardy bay]

thats misinformation, idk what you're talking about

[lost crow]

Unfortunately this is true

The name is on top of a black box

On Leo, you can see purple behind it. On the other one, theres a black box

[scenic surge]

missed the name

[scenic surge]

iiiintresting

aight so i cheated

but i didn't use anything outside the game to do it

[real zinc]

RIGGED

[wary depot]

oof

[scenic surge]

https://youtu.be/UDCPG6aYnb4

prismatic trial but it's any%

[stone adder]

[tardy bay]

CHEATERRRRRRR

[scenic surge]

wdym that was perfectly normal trial

that only choses from s1 and s2 pools

[cyan stratus]

@scenic surge permission to use your trial footage from 2022-9-2?

[scenic surge]

ye sure what’s that

oh the 0:50.80

[fleet crow]

Zinq is just too good that the game itself bows down

[stone adder]

chrue

[scenic surge]

yeah totally not cheating

[stone adder]

all skilz

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeYzUGoK-mY

In all seriousness tho I just noticed 300 was passed a bit ago

Compliments to the cabbage farm

[scenic surge]

@edgy plover

[scenic surge]

[clever surge]

"my existence is forgotten"

[edgy plover]

AAAA

[prime tundra]

Thanks man, thanks to you, I can finally Unlock the final skill for the Mercenary.

[cyan stratus]

u are so coolk tbh

[wary depot]

void portal run 🤢

[scenic surge]

yeah but I didn’t need too

unless I do?

[gilded scarab]

https://youtu.be/4E4cGC2dtBQ thought I'd share my route here, pb was 1:10.35 using this route

[scenic surge]

is that grapple fist?

[gilded scarab]

Full default I think

[iron turret]

Fuck this game

[scenic surge]

ah damn

ah yeah?

[iron turret]

i just got it

time to never play prismatic trials again

[scenic surge]

[stone adder]

😨

[vestal ridge]

why the hell did you do this before the other two

[iron turret]

i dont play mercenary

[vestal ridge]

then why the hell did you unlock it at all

[iron turret]

going for 100%

saw it was an easy prismatic trial

[tardy bay]

such a messy run, sub 50 seems do-able

[scenic surge]

new trial

[scenic surge]

bad trial

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su9Mj1tiRmY i uploaded my 1st ethereal video exactly 3 years ago (2019-9-26) so it's a bit of a special trial for me

the trial itself is garbage though lol

[scenic surge]

woohoo

[stone adder]

im coping

not getting the 1:15 that is so free

[cyan stratus]

did i get 1:15?

[stone adder]

u got 1:24

[cyan stratus]

oh

[stone adder]

i just got a 1:22 that missed over 10 seconds

im coping.

[scenic surge]

no bazaar

[stone adder]

wdym no bazaar

[scenic surge]

trying to no bazaar this trial

isn't working

time to bazaar it

[stone adder]

i just want sub 1:20 then im out istg this one sux

[scenic surge]

i agree this trial bad

[stone adder]

me when 1:19 after failing bazaar and failing void fields

imma cry 1:15 or less is so free

but i suck donkey water

[wary depot]

trial sug

[scenic surge]

trial sug

[stone adder]

zinq got it i can finally stop coping

[scenic surge]

there is indeed a grapple reste

i should have lookked into that a lil sooner

[cyan stratus]

i messed around with the grapple reset a bit but decided to not

[scenic surge]

oh ye it's a wild pylon trial

[stone adder]

you have been using plylon?

[stone adder]

and grapple resets??

wtf we have completely didff routes

[scenic surge]

pylon likely bad here

[cyan stratus]

that grapple after the jump pad is really bad

idk why you're doing that

[scenic surge]

what i did?

ye idk i was curious if up pulling made it good

[stone adder]

im using slam and thunder punch

[scenic surge]

it did not

[stone adder]

lol

[scenic surge]

oh thunderpunch smort

[stone adder]

i do completely diff crystals

[scenic surge]

i was alternating crystals between runs

[stone adder]

let me do a run rq to record to show

really shitty execution but you can get the general idea from it (failed bazaar in this so L im so tired tbh)

wtf

i hate it here

[scenic surge]

.html pardon?

oh 100.21 mb lol

[stone adder]

chruely devastating

[scenic surge]

gotta go faster ig

[stone adder]

also his 3 year anniversary

[slim lintel]

Dang, doesn't even feel like the games been out that long. Grats.

[cyan stratus]

time flies yeah. thanks

[marsh finch]

happy 3 years

[snow crystal]

is the Ethereal achievement possible on with this trial? its the only ability i haven't unlocked

oh wait im an idiot

i thought trials were daily

will study the vid above, thank you!

[scenic surge]

this one is harder than most

[snow crystal]

tbf i haven't played in like half a year

so Merc is rly rusty lmao

but ye wisps being hitscan seems like pain

i rly don't like how M2 cancels sprinting

ye i can't do this

[zenith plinth]

hate the merc quest

any advice on how to not take damage before I throw my switch at the wall?

[novel axle]

easy: dont play console

[zenith plinth]

But I don’t have a pc 😦

Not like I have a choice lmfao

[candid compass]

i have the same question but i do play PC. any tips lol?

[tardy bay]

i'd check Cabbage's videos for each prismatic and use it to get an idea on how to accomplish it

they'll be pinned in this channel

[candid compass]

👍

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6mlTG-qLaY

[tardy bay]

ruddy let me know when you beat me

[zenith plinth]

I got a glacial imp horde as the first teleporter boss and it's impossible to beat

[dark latch]

Did you get the mountain shrine?

[zenith plinth]

nope

[tardy bay]

damn i need a better route then

[dark latch]

I have egg, 1 whip and 3 quails by s2 if that helps

[tardy bay]

substantially, i only used 3 items and no eq

[fleet crow]

10 seconds

[snow crystal]

the achievement specifies "without falling below 100% hp"

so if i have a topaz shield and get hit will i lose the achievement?

am i right in assuming no?

[scenic surge]

orange barrier keeps achievement, blue shield does not

[snow crystal]

ty, i did it now

[gilded scarab]

far from perfect movement could save like 15 seconds from stage 1 alone

also happy birthday cabbage or whatnot

[scenic surge]

interesting

[tardy bay]

any tweaks to eggzu's route for the 1:06? i pop crystal 1 on the way to the gun, pretty much the only difference. solid route eggzu

[scenic surge]

well

no thunderslam

nor bazaar

and different tricorn

and diffferent crystals

here route

i'll try bazaar

[fleet crow]

Has Wig stopped doing trials?

[scenic surge]

@delicate grove

there is certainly a route with bazaar

[clever cairn]

I don't do trials, but just curious, do you use knuckleboom outside of combat because it boosts you farther than normal sprinting?

[scenic surge]

sorta yeah

does a lil' boost and you can quickly sprint to make it not do much

[fleet crow]

it's barely a timesave as far as I can tell

[scenic surge]

mainly visual

[fleet crow]

It seems like it would really only be important for closer trials

[scenic surge]

with bazaar

similar enough to eggzu

[tardy bay]

that grapple getting out of vields

[scenic surge]

what?

oh from cell to void portal?

[tardy bay]

yeah

its like a blind grapple

[celest marsh]

any xbox players able to beat the shit out of this current trial

[hollow olive]

how does the tricorn kill both worms? is it because they're close together when you use it?

[scenic surge]

there’s only one worm

worms have decently high director cost, so even so boss credits are doubled, only one spawns with a mountain shrine

[cursive void]

😃

[fleet crow]

To help explain- (using the in-game math) Mountain Shrines add +100% credits to the TP per use, rather than doubling/adding bosses

[tardy bay]

[scenic surge]

why did you go fast

[tardy bay]

i lost a second or 2 on that run too

[scenic surge]

fasting time

@tardy bay

magma worm'nt

[tardy bay]

interesting lol

[scenic surge]

seems hard to recreate

worm isn't exploding as i'd like

[tardy bay]

i always miss the grapple to tp1 on my pbs :)

finally learned bazaar though so thats good

maybe go for the punch to tp by default, idk if the swing time is slower than punch

[scenic surge]

i think swing by default faster?

well i mean

that was a punch

[tardy bay]

[scenic surge]

practically the same routing

except for crystal 2

and normally i'd punch to the shrine and grapple

and missed grapple #2 instead

[tardy bay]

yeah looks like punch to tp is like .5-1s faster

both routes seem comparable

[scenic surge]

normallly i'd do something like this

[tardy bay]

comparing those 2 runs, the punch to tp was like .5s faster

idk if i wanna try that punch to crystal 2, i'd get too pissed at it

[scenic surge]

it's really not bad lol

zoomin' now

although i did throw bazaar

38s s1

[tardy bay]

[tardy bay]

not bad

having a ghost of someone else's run would be sick

[scenic surge]

tad too much rng for that

[scenic surge]

but yeah I agree seeing differences would be cool

[delicate grove]

no bazaar btw

[delicate grove]

[scenic surge]

h

[delicate grove]

i think i lost a second or two aswell

[scenic surge]

always

there is no such thing as a run where you don't lose a second

new pb s1

and new bazaar issue discovered!

[stone adder]

b

[scenic surge]

full route

suprise suprise it's the same thing but slightly faster

[stone adder]

no way he's so good

[unkempt vessel]

best player?!

[stone adder]

😨

[scenic surge]

loader cool

[delicate grove]

a pretty sloppy s1 compared to others

[scenic surge]

holy what

[delicate grove]

[scenic surge]

10/10 congrats

[delicate grove]

i think the magma worm touches the out of bounds and dies or something

pretty consistently

[scenic surge]

yeah that was what i figured

but i guess i moved out of the way too quickly

congrats lol

[delicate grove]

lol i think that chance to get triple bandolier drop is 2.81%

[scenic surge]

why am i not suprised your route uses bandolier

i thought you were gonna fight imps or smth

i'm getting the sense bazaar is the move here

[scenic surge]

why does pylon deal -damage

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQKz0njd1OI etc.

[unkempt vessel]

wait cabbage is in the server?!

super cool

[cyan stratus]

been here since the start

[unkempt vessel]

super cool, i actually got the trail achievement WITHOUT using your video for a tutorial B)

im so skilled now

[tardy bay]

is that fling after alter hit consistent for you

[tardy bay]

i think i got it now

[delicate grove]

You can also just punch backwards instead of relying on jank physics

[tardy bay]

nice time MeaFreya

someone must defeat the furry

[gilded scarab]

trash route B)

[scenic surge]

the route is… unique… but the execution is rly good

[clever surge]

thunder on wisp 😮

[gilded scarab]

Thunder slam on the wisp!!

[gilded scarab]

I realised only after getting a PB I could've used the other grapple

I forget it exists

[strange marsh]

can anyone explain prismatic trials? 😭 😭

[edgy idol]

basically every 3 days there's a new seeded run that's the same for everyone, it only lasts for two stages and can start at any point in the run (stage 1, 3, 5 etc). the goal is just to complete it as fast as possible

[scenic surge]

In order to activate the teleporter, you need to kill at least 3 of 5 crystals spread out across the map. However, once you kill the boss, the teleporter instantly charges.

[urban aurora]

It also comes with random pre-determined artefacts and has some primsatic trial exclusive modifiers

Ethereal and [the achievement that unlocks the scythe] are tied to them

Also modding your game prevents you from doing them (while the modded client is running that is)

[vagrant snow]

the meta is to rush tp with loader then go to the bazar and rush void fields

if u get bands then even better

[fleet crow]

bands or
