stiff rapids
#

The reason hopoo hasnt added one is because hacked leaderboards and stuff (I think)

fleet crow
#

yeah if you add an actual enticing reward they'll just become more prevalent

#

best they can do is lunar coins

edgy plover
#

railgunner is annoying to play cuz i cant aim

scenic surge
#

railgunner is garbage because i miss

cyan stratus
#

idk how you miss, can't you just put the crosshair on the enemy and click

scenic surge
#

oh wait you put the crosshair on the enemy?

cyan stratus

any railgunners

23_02_22_2785.png
scenic surge
#

any loaders

#

I can guarantee there are a lot of railgunners

finite kite
#

I'm a little new to the scene relative to most, but started doing trials recently and they've been quite fun - is there anything in particular I'm meant to be doing to improve, or just click red squares better?

#

I've put all of 20 minutes into the new trial so far but it seems to be the extent of what's required

unborn saddle
#

to tell the truth I think cabbage is the best railgunner I ‘ve ever seen

#

I did bad at railgunner too

cyan stratus
#

the run wasn't good i was just testing some s2 route

#

sub 50 maybe

dark latch
#

At best I can get 25 s1 and 29 s2

#

I'm lost at how you can get close to a sub 50

vivid steppe
#

i feel like using it as a means of lunar coins might be a little neat idea to give a reason behind it

scenic surge
#

the issue is that it costs lunar coins to win 90% of trials

#

but that’s the easiest hot fix in the world

fleet crow
#

disable newt altars in pris trials

#

that would be funny

finite kite
#

Or just make them free for trials, and keep prices in the bazaar as usual

#

There's a ton of solutions

#

Slightly off topic, but I can't get through s1 faster than like 36 seconds

#

What route are you people taking cuz I feel like an idiot lmao

unborn saddle
#

maybe can 20 s1

#

I ‘m pretty bad at aim

#

especially railgunner

cyan stratus
#

no the crystal hitboxes are just broken for railgunner it's not an aim thing

edgy plover
#

wtf did yall do with loader

#

or raingunner

#

i feel washed

#

also how do you m1 a crystal as loader without dying it feels random

cyan stratus
#

get the armor plate on stage 1

edgy plover
#

ok but its possible to survive m1ing a crystal as loader

#

i just dont know why its so inconsistent

cyan stratus
#

because barrier timing

#

if you find the armor plate on stage 1 i'll give you my railgunner route, it's in a cloaked chest

edgy plover
#

ok fuck that

#

also yes ik its barrier timing but doing it asap doesnt work sometimes

#

so so its a wierd delay for timing i guess?

#

that doesnt make any sense to me

cyan stratus
#

just has to do with when the m1 hits the crystal the 1st and 2nd time

#

also unless i'm missing something 20s s1 is physically impossible

edgy plover
#

as railgunner?

#

best i was getting was 28 but i was doing a slow strat cuz i cant hit all 3 crystals in the air

cyan stratus
#

my 54 was with a 26 or so lol

edgy plover
#

tf is ur s2 route

cyan stratus
#

i'll post it because i don't believe in hiding strats

edgy plover
#

so based

cyan stratus
#

(even though it's the only way i can win)

edgy plover
#

na join the grindset

#

get best

cyan stratus
#

oh i didn't record yesterday i have to boot up the game and everything

edgy plover
#

that s2 route my jesums

cyan stratus
#

pretty standard rollout tbh

edgy plover
#

i do cryo jump from spawn on s1 and get 15s tp at best by respawning down low where the tp is

cyan stratus
#

now you need to tell me how to get 20s s1

edgy plover
#

idk lmao

cyan stratus
#

using cryo to jump in s1 is bad i was just getting to s2 though

edgy plover
#

ok this trial is mid asf cuz i cant aim

unborn saddle
#

then you need to fall down just before the land

#

while you are teleporting to the land it will let you slipe up and glide just before the portal

#

you need use the time that sliding and shot the third crystal

#

then you can get about 23s or sub 20

#

thanks for your route about s2 btw

#

Even if I can make it,BUT its tooo hard for me

#

Im about to sleep

scenic surge
#

alternatively

#

The Loader is a slow but powerful bruiser

worthy cairn
#

Do any of you guys know where the teleporter is for the first level?

cyan stratus
#

we're still looking i think

cyan stratus
worthy cairn
#

Ok so this may be that I just don’t know something but mine looks different

cyan stratus
#

console different from pc

worthy cairn
#

Oh I see

scenic surge
#

Nice

cyan stratus
#

any sub 40?

edgy plover
#

holy fuckin shit thats a nutty run

#

actually hit everything

cyan stratus
#

what do you mean that s1 was garbage

edgy plover
#

huh idk railgunner really

#

improvement would be getting a better downward boost to the tp

unborn saddle
cyan stratus
#

sub 48 very possible

tawdry ferry
scenic surge
cyan stratus
#

nah you can definitely save like 5 seconds

scenic surge
#

there's definetely some time, idk about 5 seconds though

#

without running into a skill issue

delicate grove
#

just comes down to grapple release timing on s2

#

definitely a bit to save on the first crystal and maybe the second grapple to teleporter

#

oh wait a sec you can grapple reset the second crystal on s2 why didnt i think of that

scenic surge
#

uh no point?

delicate grove
#

better position to get to teleporter

#

if you are standing ontop of cliff

scenic surge
#

true maybe

delicate grove
#

and you can early punch the first crystal

#

slam even

tribal hamlet
#

huntress funny

tribal hamlet
#

i peaked 34th huntress am done now

dire plover
#

How good is a 1:15 time if I don't run prismatic trials really ever?

scenic surge
#

depends on the prismatic

#

I’d say for this one good

dire plover
#

The trial that just reset is Brutal

#

Overloading dunestrider stage 1 boss

#

Gl go the ethereal runners and trial speedrunners

cyan stratus
#

easy trial tbh

scenic surge
#

took no time

#

nobody died to pot damage, ever

#

no :red_face_droopy_eyes: moments either

cyan stratus
#

man......

#

unlucky tbh

cyan stratus
#

i'm not to be held responsible for it

wintry lodge
#

still trying to get ethereal trollfacesad

cyan stratus
#

slowest trial in a while tbh

scenic surge
#

not railgun?

#

railgun gotta go brr

cyan stratus
#

surprisingly not really

#

probably faster than plant but not that much faster

#

actually wait alternate 5000% is probably fastest

solemn fiber
dire plover
#

this'll be my best time for a while

image.png
#

I think captain resupply beacons work for this

#

because you can just keep resetting the egg

scenic surge
#

why were there three wisps

dire plover
#

Can somebody give me tips for the stage 2 overloading greater wisp? I have lost like 11 runs to it

#

also, is there a faster way to kill the stage 1 dunestrider than waiting for it to jump off the cliff?

#

I'm thinking it might be possible to lure it off a cliff closer to where it spawns

scenic surge
#

uh

#

i play bandit an circle strafe it and shoot it a lot

#

but if you play rex you can just BOOP the dunestrider off the cliff

dire plover
#

I'll try rex

#

railgunner is really slow

#

nvm I suck at rex

#

It is possible to increment vields to the trial... I think

#

I got a 4:00 time going to vields but I was railgunner

finite kite
#

Isn't the newt across the whole map?

dire plover
#

Loader can probably do it

scenic surge
#

loader will definetely do it

dire plover
#

just need to find a fast way to get a 3rd crystal

#

I was really close to getting bazaar done a few minutes ago, just died to an apothecary while baiting the dunestrider

#

I recommend the fast charge punch and thunderslam

#

darnit

#

why does it say "download"

finite kite
#

File size

dire plover
#

It's literally 10 seconds long

finite kite
#

OBS settings must be cracked

dire plover
#

idk, I'll try loader bazaar with the loadout in the video

scenic surge
#

mkv’s don’t autoembed

dire plover
#

converting it to MP4 because apparently those auto embed

#

this should work

#

only naturally the upload would fail

scenic surge
#

alternatively

dire plover
#

that is way faster

violet sorrel
#

uhhh

#

anyone else get a blazing void devastator for the stage 2? 😅

#

i was expecting an overloading greater wisp..

#

ohh wait is it because of my time LOL

cyan stratus
#

any sub 1

dire plover
#

not that I know of

#

finally got sub 3:30

#

I like prismatic trials now

#

I also love it when you barely overshoot thunderslamming the 3rd crystal

#

I'm typing this waiting for the stupid dunestrider

stone adder
#

restart game it fix

cyan stratus
#

no it's just a time thing

dire plover
#

I hate the multiplayer glitch

violet sorrel
#

ahh i thought so

stone adder
#

well he's on monsoon

cyan stratus
#

that's rainstorm

violet sorrel
#

cheers

stone adder
#

oh

dire plover
#

oh lord he comin'

image.png
stone adder
#

i can't see member blind bud theyh call me the pest

cyan stratus
#

i have no idea what that sentence means

dire plover
cyan stratus
#

can you boss skip a clay pot

dire plover
#

I just went to vields

cyan stratus
#

like

#

skip it

#

idk if it spawns underground or what

dire plover
#

how can a boss spawn underground?

dire plover
cyan stratus
#

don't bosses like beetle queens spawn underground and come up

dire plover
cyan stratus
#

and titans and stuff

#

so you can't boss skip 'em

dire plover
#

idk

#

maybe

#

what specific method of skipping do you purpose?

#

like killing it while it's still psawning, artifact of glass

#

a knockback ability might be able to stop the enemy and hold it in the ground

cyan stratus
#

nah you can't skip it i think

dire plover
#

also, any tips for rex?

#

because I heard you can just "dunk" the dunestrider shortly after it spawns

cyan stratus
#

yeah

#

there's a precise lineup i use but it's consistent

#

but idk how to optimize s2

dire plover
#

vields is a free optimization

cyan stratus
#

yeah lemme go over there as rex real quick

#

wait nvm i don't have time

23_02_26_2795.png
dire plover
#

egg is easy

dire plover
cyan stratus
#

lol try it and see how long it takes

dire plover
#

try rex?

#

if you mean rex, what loadout?

cyan stratus
#

full damage is normal for trials

dire plover
#

ok

#

I thought directive: disperse would be used since it doesn't deal damage to you

cyan stratus
#

survivability doesn't matter in trials

#

if you die you just try again

dire plover
#

rex too slow to get the newt on stage 1

#

at least for me

#

rex is my second worst survivor

#

do you know a faster way to consitently kill the dunestrider without egg?

cyan stratus
#

you dont need egg with rex?

#

just send it off the edge

scenic surge
cyan stratus
#

yeah unfortunately

#

i don't know if there's a specific time window where you don't get them like it was for imps a while back

scenic surge
#

yea annyoing

dire plover
#

also, i'm running loader

cyan stratus
#

i don't think loader can beat rex

#

i'm actually doubting whether railgunner can at this point

#

i haven't tried alt special though i bet it can

#

no actually probably not

dire plover
#

i don't want a really high up time

#

I just want a somewhat respectable time

scenic surge
#

captain but with diablo crit may be boink

cyan stratus
#

surely diablo can't reach those wisps, right?

#

i don't use that ability does it have any height

dire plover
#

new best time

image.png
#

I don't really run trials, is that good?

cyan stratus
#

idk i haven't tried loader

scenic surge
#

i mean for most trials i'd have to say no

#

but since this one is hard yeah

cyan stratus
delicate grove
cyan stratus
#

huh well find a way to skip the clay pot and prove it isn't a rex trial

delicate grove
#

i think the grapple tech can only be done with glass active

#

not sure what other boss skips there are without glass, xenon or verstatx would probably know

stiff rapids
cyan stratus
#

since nobody else felt like playing this trial

delicate grove
cyan stratus
#

huh

#

big

dire plover
#

v for vields lets go

image.png
scenic surge
#

o

#

that’s me huh

dire plover
#

yes

dire plover
#

finally got a full run on recording

#

3:05

#

...and the file's too bog

scenic surge
#

yeah files can get ~ 1:20 of gameplay

#

(for me)

dire plover
sick solstice
#

works well enough without dipping quality in a noticeable way

dire plover
scenic surge
#

9:00 on stage5

#

assuming 1:10 stages after that

#

that’s around 11:30

#

which is not quite top 25

#

26th

scenic surge
dire plover
#

It's my first speedrun

scenic surge
#

that's good for a first run!

dire plover
#

didn't expect much

dire plover
dire plover
#

I'm thinking so

scenic surge
#

i'm used to non SoTV stages so i don't really play with it

dire plover
#

ok

scenic surge
#

but it's really up to you for that one

dire plover
#

don't you also downpatch or something?

#

I don't know how to downpatch

#

I think the cause of the 14 minute run was cause I obliterated

scenic surge
#

obliteration speedrun doesn't want downpatch

#

but if you don't know, vields counts as a stage and moves the portal forward to stage2

dire plover
#

2 questions: for more razorwire damage, do I stack crit or crowbars? and, do I need 2 raps, or just 1

#

I'm pretty much asking for white suggestions

scenic surge
#

crowbar

#

raps are just in case, brooch is better

#

but as loader really just 20 backup mags

dire plover
#

how did I forget about brooch

#

is it ok to hit vields for an earlier obliteration?

#

risght after the stage 1 bortal

scenic surge
#

yep

#

you can watch one of the top 4 runs for a good current patch strat

#

but run sacrifice and ignore pods

#

Would anyone be able to recommend a person for this trial, im trying to get the achievement for the scythe and im struggling 😅

oh

void fiend as well

dire plover
#

Viend has his uses in trials sometimes

#

This trial might be one of them

#

but I don't really want to test it

last tangle
#

im just having trouble doing damage at all, like even with railgunner i do very little

dire plover
#

railgunner is good for trials

#

just the layout depends

last tangle
#

tried a few runs with captain and couldnt get past the first teleporter, probably have done 4 hours now of tries

dire plover
#

dammit caps

last tangle
#

is there a way to insta kill him? or something

dire plover
#

I released a video earlier today doing a 3:05 on current trial with loader, which featuers dunestrider cheese

#

basically you need the egg

#

Stand here on this cliff

image.png
#

and when the dunestrider gets close enough, egg upwards

#

the dummy should walk off the cliff

last tangle
#

ill try that

#

thank you!

dire plover
#

np

last tangle
#

hopefully now i can get this scythe TT

dire plover
#

I got scythe on a glass trial

#

it's also best to get ethereal on a glass trial

#

because getting hit in glass kills you anyway

scenic surge
#

Rex cheese is way easier though

dire plover
#

I'll figure out the rex movement before I learn the cheese

last tangle
#

Im just trying to learn loader now to try and get it

dire plover
# scenic surge

This is an easy way to get 3 crystals, I routed in the volcanic egg

delicate grove
scenic surge
#

my dunstrider didn't wanna jump off the cliff

dire plover
#

happens wayyyyyyyy too much to me

#

fuck livesplit

scenic surge
#

livesplit is kinda cool

#

once you get used to it

#

and use autosplit and rebind next to an obscure key

finite kite
#

is this another rex trial?

scenic surge
#

@cyan stratus
any :red_face_droopy_eyes:?

cyan stratus
#

huh

#

oh trial reset

edgy plover
#

are ppl 1 shotting the boss by being inside of it

scenic surge

im not

surely thats a thing tho

Your s2 route might be faster

Especially if you get a crit

#

pretty hard to hit

cyan stratus
#

i won't have to get it again right

unborn saddle
#

YES THIS ONE IS REALLY BAD FOR MERC

#

I just beat it pretty close

cyan stratus
#

all you have to do is not get hit

unborn saddle
#

all you have to do is to kick the duestrider's ass

cyan stratus
#

clay pot & friends

unborn saddle
#

It just suck🥲

delicate grove
#

loader still faster i think if optimal crits

edgy plover
#

is it possible to kill wandering vagrants by being inside of them when they spawn like AWUs

scenic surge
#

no

#

not really, because you have a hitbox

#

AWU can and will always spawn in one position

#

Normal bosses squiggle

edgy plover
#

ah sadge

dire plover
#

ok

#

another overloading dunestrider

#

there had better be a gun on stage 2

#

or something

dire plover
#

ok rex is good again

dire plover
#

I need tips for a consistent stage 2 boss

solemn fiber
finite kite
#

Or maybe it is

#

mb

scenic surge
#

if it hits in the center quarter of the circle it does 4000 damage, otherwise 1000

dark latch
#

Vagrant also has to be low enough for diablo to hit properly

#

If you hit tp while diablo cooldown is at 26s, vagrant will be at the lowest point in its spawn animation

finite kite
#

That's very good to know, thank you

late meteor
#

anyone got any tips for the current console prismatic

#

never mind im waiting on the next one this one is legit the most aggravating think ive ever played and ive emulated crash tag team racing before

dire plover
#

just time you abilities well,, and it's easy

#

or just wait for a glass+command

railgunner: same as captain, but faster

Is there a skip equipment anywhere on sky meadow?

cyan stratus
#

just go railgunner and kill it?

scenic surge
#

or The Loader

dire plover
dire plover

I have tried them both about 832974129865 times

scenic surge
#

uh

dire plover

and lost every time

#

loader would be fine, but she's melee

#

railgunner would also be fine if chimeras could be frozen

#

this is the highest I've gotten on acrid pillar skip in 30 minutes

I'm on the very back of the tree

take opus to go up faster, or there's a sprint soda in a chest

not there but near there

is the gopus also on the shoe island?

the one today

is it even possible

the beetle guards are such a pita

zenith plinth
#

tfw artificer is somewhat good at beating this trial by literally never touching the ground and having to touch beetles

scenic surge
#

or if you stand on tp prongs/the wall by tp you’re hitless

#

guards are fully grounded so kinda easy to cheese

zenith plinth
#

But not when you gotta collect items

#

Oh lul nvm

#

That’s too easy

frick it's on the second stage

I think I found the best loader loadout

it's prob gonna be too slow to grab bazaar, because no pylon

Risk of Rain 2 - Prismatic Trial 3/20/23 - Mercenary Ethereal Achie...

ridiculous garbage trial, can't even slam the jellyfish because there's 2 and by the time you slam 1 of them 100 wisps spawn
8:44 is the reason i tagged this game as "horror" on the steam store

if you actually opened the description maybe you want to know why this trial is so hard

medkit makes it so you can't do the normal strat of slowly kill...

this is my first prismatic trial that I’ve cleared

#

its an alternate game mode in which everyone has the same identical seed for a certain amount of time. the goal is to beat the two stages as fast as possible while dealing with different artifacts that add variety and challenge to the run

vestal bloom
#

at least ive never seen a boss spawn this early in the game, especially on rainstorm huntresswhat

cyan stratus

if you go out of bounds for a while then back the director has a bunch of time to spawn something big. or idk if it works differently on console i didn't know they ported it to TI-84

I thought I could do ethereal on the current seed but there is no way I'm getting past that overloading imp overlord bruh

vestal bloom
#

i do know consoles can have weird spawning issues, especially on monsoon. bosses spawning in the first couple of stages even if your like 20 mins in a run.

#

i think rainstorm also has issues because ive had a stage 2 about 10 minutes in where it was non stop spawning beetle guards before

lyric orchid
#

wait is bosses spawning 20mins in not normal?

vestal bloom
#

it shouldn't be, at least thats what ive been hearing from everyone who plays pc

lyric orchid
#

rare console w i really like that bosses spawn naturally, makes monsoon feel more unique

violet rune
#

Sometimes I get bosses at 20 minutes on PC monsoon

#

Usually on abyssal or sundered

#

Not common though

vestal bloom
#

it always feels random when i start seeing bosses spawn, sometimes they start spawning as early as stage 2 or 3 then sometimes i dont see any bosses (besides ones that already spawned at the start of a stage) spawn until a loop

though i noticed during the second teleporter event sometimes it spawns blazing stone golems at the start of the event and sometimes it doesn't. idk if that's related to how fast you go or not

pretty new to RoR2 overall and was more worried about getting my first clear rather than getting Merc achievement specifically, but those strats, just on Mul-T, worked really well for me. Just took longer because slow AF, but I grabbed Safer Spaces and a few extra items to make it a little more reliable. not dying in 1 shot because of high hp pool on Mul-T helped too.

Your s1 looked pretty solid, a rough s2 route for bandit would look more like this

I'm not sure if quail or harpoon is better for bandit in this trial but it's something to look out for

The issue is that it doesn't last very long and I think turning my back to shoot an enemy makes me lose more time so it's the reason I didn't really take time to shoot every enemies to get the shift reset

I'll try that a bit later

On its own it isn't great for bandit but I figured it might have more synergy with caggers auto killing enemies

I don't get how it's even possible to do the 1rst record, spamming the 2nd Utility dash with Huntress and almost instant the boss without taking items except the daggers, the 1rst level is finished in like 40 sec x) (+ I think the tp animation is like 8sec? so 2 levels in the 43 sec, there is only 25sec of gameplay for both levels?)
