@empty rover
this is a huge diff, i need to think about it
i think you did change the boss spawn location to kill two bosses easily cuz they are close but this situation can be save like 5~ sec. I don't get it.
i did 1:35, i killed boss more efficient but i don't understand the key of this big difference
or u used sticky proc
to do what you say, i need to hit same punch to the clay bosses this is so hard for me so i am using thunder gauntlet, i finished the s1 in 45~ sec. Is it okay? or my s2 was bad?
ill post a vid
@clever surge https://streamable.com/0z8lm6
you can just kill the second titan to go fast
thanks, but i won't do it, as i said i use thunder gauntlet and i pick up the watch but i realize in start of s2 my m2 was wrong so i gain time here and i did 1:30 right now
and you took the lysate cell, that's a very smart move
can someone help with the mercenary prismatic trial challenge?
> 
When you block the clay boss that normally spawns above, sometimes two bosses spawn very close, maybe you can gain time here, I think some of the mobs (i think beetle) also need to block some of the boss spawn location so it's so hard to make
i don't think you can gain time here but i just wanna say it, you may want to take a quick look
just like that
the corner of picture there is a beetle also block the spawn location
might be good because you can thunderslam both
but where the bosses are positioned, you can still just punch both in any given punch
i said for thunderslam and also maybe if you want to do a powerful punch
in fact runner can sub1:10 
>
>
0:37 my hook was very bad but its okay
if i played well here i can gain 1-2 sec
u can get free preon in s1 ig
No, if i used any equipment, i couldn't use in s2 because of cooldown
and my route is not designed for that
nah u press e and q at exactly same time and equip wont be in cd
i don't know maybe you guys find a better route
ah i got it pick up item bug i know what it is, hm i need to think about it i don't know how much damage preon has, and also can be kill all beetle, i need to try it
but thanks, i forget about it
idk whether it could kill all beetles but im sure it will save some time
np
if you guys can't punch 2 crystals in a row, just punch the first one, you can kill second one with your special skill thunderstorm
there is no time diff, only 0,5~ sec in the end of s1
command+kin trial, so just grab anything and win
For the prismatic trial i followed the video but the equipment chest isnt there and i get wisps and sulfur pools for 2nd stage
Do you play ror2 on pc or playstation, xbox etc?
I am trying it but don't work, maybe they fixed it in tha last patch?
So I'm trying to get mercenary's challenge done
The no hit prismatic trial one
First stage is easy since it's beetles the issue is second stage since it's all wisps
I've tried running tougher times, topaz brooch, and repulsion armor plate
The shield created by PSG is considered part of your max health, but barriers created by any source are not health, they are barriers
the what now
topaz, then SPEED
oh and theres an equipment barrel somewhere so get like a gubo or somthing
not dml
try going through newt portal
you can grab purities there too
radar scanner will show it as ?
PSG is considered health, but barriers are not
Halved cooldowns, but your unlucky
thats so silly
@copper charm its not halve cooldowns
Its -2 sec cd on every cooldown and -1 for every stack beyond first stack
is the one that halves cooldown but at the cost of half attack speed
man today's trail is piss easy
free safer spaces? that's just a free slicing winds
why not bands and shurikens?
no it doesn't. i did it yesterday. a tip for u is better not pressing any other keys except e and q
Because it's kin
i did it with 2 fire bands and 2 shurikens
..your point being?
That's still worse crowd control
Saying "I beat it with worse items" doesn't mean those items are better
It's not haved it's minus 2 seconds
crowd control isnt really an issue in this trial considering the first stage is beetles and you can get preon on stage 1
if there wasnt access to preon i think shuriken fire band is actually pretty decent for this trial
It still feels like Uke would be better than fire bands, since the radius is small and not gonna hit all of them
in a regular run sure
but this trial has scary spite bombs so anything to not be in melee range is nice
could even do shuriken uke if you wanted to
Shuriken Uke seems better than shuriken band
1:03 I guess this trail
hit the mountain shrine
@empty rover
CABBAGE?
what
how’s it going CABBAGE?
tired
wait why u guys got a 7 behind your name
IQ
that's as far as I'll push commando for this one
6% crit is very enjoyable to grind :) :) :) :) :)
Clean, it's refreshing not seeing vields s2 trials anymore
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
Merry Christmas
happy holidays / merry christmas if you celebrate it
2023 is almost over. have you accomplished anything you set out to do at the beginning of the year?
@empty rover
@empty rover
nice ping
👍
Sad that it's not on the 24th or 25th 😔
least festive pristrial variant
nice pin
just waiting for preon cooldown.
block the spawn by standing in the spot i pinged. if there's still 2 beetle queens they'll spawn together, you can preon both just like i preon'd one
@empty rover
Can anyone tell me why I can't finish my prismatic trial?
I already defeated the bosses and everything so, whats happening?
then hit the tp
what is this trial? this is pain 😦
what the hell am i watching
im never getting this ability bro

How do people hit under a minute in these prismatics?
I’ve been doing prismatic runs and getting some of the tops scores recently and I want to post videos on them. Would it be in the communities best interests to post them after the event is over or during the event?
during probably, but you can do whatever you want
warning there are some cheaters in top spots, so some times are literally impossible
Yeah I’m well aware of that haha. I got a legitimate 1:13.09 which I can only see like 5 seconds of time save
why not try the cryocharge
it doesn't one shot the bosses unfortunately. i love when i can run cryo charge because i use it at the beginning to break a crystal in one shot to save time. then itll be up again for the boss
I mean u can crystal jump to saves more time in S2 with cryo
is crystal jumping using the explosion from the crystal to accelerate? and is that more speed than the regular mine?
yes
just watch cabbages railgun video
or meas
railgunner gets nice equipment for this trial, tricorn for the 1st boss and recycler gives a longer interact range which helps for the artifact buttons
this prismatic is so difficult yeesh
idk if a 2:37 is good for this trial. i feel like im missing so much
what are the missle/gunner drone locations on this prismatic trials? can only find 2 missles but ive been taking dmg from ice bomb and etc
my bad
happy new year everyone
what will you do to make this year better than the last?
@empty rover
damn this ones a toughie
It ain’t good but it’s somthin. My mouse broke while trying to get a better time 😂
dam they will attack eachother guess i dont need missle drones
just got risk of rain 2 for 3 days and this is my first prismatic trial. are they always this fuckin hard
maybe
Not usually
lol i keep going underneath the map and just falling
i give up thats 2 hours gone and i failed
don't look directly down when dashing
oh no im able to do the noclip now just killing the things is the problem they are usually left with 600hp and id get hit by smthing i didnt see
closest ive gotten is 2nd stage destroying the crystals with missle drones but i got hit by those jellyfish
breh i got hit by fireball when running from tp since i finally did finish first stage
yea it's a bit inconsistent just make sure you can do the 2nd stage every time and you're good
can i not physically dodge those skull wisps things without the skills lol they just lock onto me
FINALLY
2nd stage
i took fall dmg
im done i give up till next seed
yes
This one should be a bit easier, getting a topaz should give over healing and you can use equipment for the 2 bosses
just wait for some1's video (though this trial is easy enough for the achievement)
^
lol i took too long choosing a item and got hit by those projectiles
lol recharging shield only gives 9
..forgot i had crowbars and crystal exploded me on 2nd stage
bro why is there a gulp there now and crystal dying with only a hit and ult/eviscrete
lmao i give up on this one too
lmao shall try it once more be4 stopping think imma do drones then the electro ball thing
what is the range of those flying green shooting stuff bruh
@empty rover
Oo i didn't even know healing chest up there i just went forward then take the equipment barrel and make my way from there n pass the dmg chest
how did you open this-
interact button ?
i usually cant open it and someone said reach it under 10mins but even then theres no option to ;-;
are you playing on console
console might have a bug
im on laptop
idk then tbh
..lol some mushroom shot fireball at me on 2nd stage now i gotta restart
yeah nvm it was on me i didnt realise 10mins for the timer lol i thought 10mins on that stage
BRO WHERES THE 2ND BOSS WHAT
THERES ONLY WISPS ABOVE ME
theres only wisps above me but ok :c
nvm he rlly was on top too dam i got burned for going close
finally yay thx
all it took was a total of 6 hours worth of attempts
though ig also skill issue i couldnt do the earlier seed
..?
it doesnt show the Mercenary: Ethereal achieve
BRO WHAT I DIDNT GET HIT WDYM
yuh yoh
MY HP WAS 24/7 209 WDYM
blazing, eensy fall damage, anything?
NONE ATMOST I ONLY SAW A RED ARROW I FORGOT UP OR DOWN BUT IT DIDNT SEEM TO TAKE ANY HP AWAY + I HAD SHIELD FROM 1 SHOT 1ST BOSS ;_;
FAA I TOOK FALL DMG ON MY NEXT TRY SKILLS ON CD
merc ult is cruel
bro what i took actual dmg when i had shield
im done with merc
Yeah shield counts as health
The only way to take damage and it not be health is with barrier
So waiting for a easy command run stacking lots of movement speed and broaches usually works well for me
...? Ya i had barrier yellow colour smh didn't think there was a diff
wish there's a quick restart for this, starting over and over feels like crap when you spend like 5-7 seconds each time
also, I'm getting unfortunately intimate with how inconsistent Merc is with sprinting. Secondary skill cancels sprint while Util and Special don't and you remain sprinting at the end
The yellow barrier does not count as health but u may have had like 50 barrier and took 51 damage
well i had yellow barrier while green hp disspeared
Mm it shouldn’t do that. I think even fall damage goes off barrier. But I could be wrong and it may directly effect health
eitherway i give up smh def dont need merc ult
It’s not the best 😂 but it’s nice to have if u want to 100% the game
I have come to the realization that spawn is different between consoles(or players, idk)
From what I know spawn changes by where other enemies are and where you are
it can be blocked and changed by anything with volume
And enemies on console just kinda ignore objects and sometimes the floor so yeah, very different spawns
yuo have to focus gettomg topaz brooch focus crystals ukeleles and movement speed and just stack tricorns to kill pot guys
don't need all those items but they're there so why not
@empty rover
this seems way easier then the others damn >.>
yay im back on merc
yay
thank you for sharing !!!! i only started playing 2 weeks ago and this helped me get the achiev :3 <3
cabbage is the goat
many thanks to Cabbage for the guide,
FUCK pests, I wish they were deleted from the game.
Wish I were quick enough getting my items, the vermin attack me so fast
Survivors of the void: :D
Blind pests: D:
Real
i forgot how annoying it was to unlock slicing winds... this prismatic trial is really annoying with the wisps and alpha constructs... ... ...and no chests...
i wish i had started trying to unlock this yesterday for the easier one ;-;
Was very tempted to start a whole new account without the DLC in an attempt to do it without the pests...
Pests just require you to move theyre not that hard
well that's not mentioning the numerous possible chances they get to shoot at you for free
doesnt work
pris trials should have dlc content regardless if u own dlc or not
Imma be real
Imma just wait for Glass to show up and grind that one
Since I’ll be strong enough to not need chests
And I’ll be able to die easily, so resetting isn’t as trivial
I think I'm waiting for Artifact of Kin with a melee enemy since running away would solve all my issues
this is almost the worst possible artifact combination possible, worse would be with swarms
you can probably lure the vagrant in the void seed somehow but i didn't feel like it, just don't get hit
I thought it ll be hard to do this
pretty easy
I had a hard time with it
but I eventually got it
using drones and gubo junior for the second level
i just used drones and mercenaries attacks for the first level
its do able just takes some time
its a good feeling when you finally get it though
even bombs, wisps and swarms cant stop u from trial right?
I used to think ppl would just wait for next trial
@empty rover
True
wtf is the origin of that video btw
Internet
watch isn't needed but just makes killing the crabs / crystals a bit faster. boring trial, nothing can really hit you
@empty rover
I'm doing that when I next play
discord embeds are broken rn
lucky
this is horribly frustrating
whose idea was it to make a mandatory achievement where you can't get hit once?
It teaches how you can play merc
Hes easily the best character for avoiding truly everything
but against a horde of lemurians?
not to mention the crabs who can outrun you and lead their shots
it just isn't fun
the lack of a quick restart makes it even worse
Honestly I would consider this one of the better seeds to do this challenge on
all the same, this feels more like a game of luck than skill
The lemurians just require some practice and the crabs arent a problem if you keep sprinting so theyre more tedious than threatening
You also have the advantage of always getting the same seed and eventually knowing what items there are and where they are so you can optimise the trial for the best chances at getting it done no hit
just the slightest mistake and a lemurian hits me
even if i don't make a mistake, i often get hit anyway
can someone help me out here?
I'm doing everything exactly as it says, but I just keep failing
trying the same thing as you, and yeah this is so annoying. It would easily be free if artifact of glass was on, or you could get topaz brooch but you cant and the lemurians just keep hitting me once
that last one wasn't even my fault
it dropped my input and didn't dash at the worst possible time
I got to like the last 3 crabs and got hit by something invisible on my screen I have no idea how
finally
basically no useful items on that
the lemurians are the most unfair part by far
half the time, they don't even get caught by the cube
There is a watch in a stage 1 shrine of chsnce
even when i give them time to group up
Thats basicslly just 20% extra damage
or i could try positioning before cubing, but then i get hit
fair but its the second item and it was really annoying to get
cubing?
dont play merc so I dont know terminology
Finally
the black hole item
it's used to clear the lemurian horde on stage 1
the crabs were messy, but at least they can be fairly easily dodged and don't fight back up close
yeah, there's a barrel by the second time crystal with a cube
You can also use it to have the crabs take good fall damage
it trivialises the boss
i thought that was meant to group the crabs up for cleaving?
problem is, the crabs are either mending or overloading
they'll heal it all back if you don't focus them down
It can be but you could also use it to have them take fall damage
jeez overloading sounds way harder, I always got mending when I got to AD
I remember that since with frailty that was a quick way ro unlock gesture
it's four mending, two overloading
At least none are blazing
depending on the seed, hordes of many can be either mostly or entirely the specified elite
The scoreboard seems fucked at the moment, but on the friends board, i'm 126th
my assumption is that that's my global placement
I would have to say that this seed is definitely on the easier side of getting ethereal if you just practice enough
maybe now that i can safely take damage, i could try for a faster time
oh, also, it seems like the stage 2 crystals can be a little inconsistent
gotta kill enough lemurians with the black hole in stage one to make them trivial
I did the same route over and over till I got it lol only deviated at the tp events
managed to get the first level cleared peacefully but got hit a bit in the 2nd level + my doppelganger spawned in
ahhhh the crabs just screw me over every time
Doppelganger? The hell are you on about?
For the crabs, it's all about being CONSTANTLY on the move
artifact of vengeance. they took 10 minutes
Oh
Well, that could be brought down to a couple minutes with the power of primordial cube and hiding on the ledge
Sub 3:00 on Bandit🙏
Sick
I got just over three minutes with railgunner
Although that might be improved on if I switch to heavy shots
I was using the 400% bullets from my attempts to do 1m in a single shot
Idrk how railgunner works
i only played loader and Bandit
but loader i got like 2:33
but he broken
i been on this shit for like 8 hours straight doing this trial bru
there's
next to the nearest time crystal after spawn on 2nd stage
If anyone needs it
Railgunner does HUGE damage, but she needs to scope to do it
She's basically a sniper
Her special shuts down all her weapons for five seconds, but it completely annihilates everything in its path
Basically, if it has a big health bar, she'll kill it in seconds
there's also alt special, but it deals half the damage of default special and does not disable skills
also freezes mobs
I meant just the special, w/out secondary
2:20
Man I gotta say
I wish people did guides for Switch seeds
Even though everything on the Steam is on the Switch this time
Everything is in a different spot
13500% with 3.0 proc coefficient
freeze can stunlock mithrix with enough lysate cells
Pretty specific circumstances tho
Arti can with a grey not a void item
arti can also with a red
1:41.19. my best time was a bit faster than this however it was the same route. just shot crystals faster. good luck and ZOOOOOM!!!
Most of my runs I do with no items if that helps
I mean ofc, you’re barely getting items in the first place
hows trials after the vields patch
bad
FOR TOP LIST:
Before:
:
:
= 2 :5:3
Now:
:
:
= 3:2:5
(
=others)(only myself opinion)
what the hellcat does that even mean 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I mean before vields patch loader got more than 50% chance to be the top of the board
but after that patch railgun truns to be the one who most often beat the top of the board
massively nerfed for Loader
Im so sorry about video quality. Im doing trial and error trying to get a quality video. Dont grab the 2nd item. it'll slow you down. don't be like zaba.
❤️
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
what does the cabbage meme mean
me looking in pins to see 480 cabbage memes have been posted
what does it mean 😭
I am just wondering what the music is from
driftveil city
from one of the pokemon games
well i would assume it's because rumia likes to eat humans so forcing her to eat cabbage is sad for her
Did they patch that glitch where you could slam the vagrant into the ground for an instant kill?
no, do it if you want
Omw
This trial is actually pretty easy I got backup magazine and an alt to mercs 3rd ability on my second account
first level has a tesla coil and aside from some fall damage I took in the 2nd level it seems pretty easy
yep managed to get the whole thing done with just the 1 fall damage I took, super easy
ayyy got the achievement, super easy once you get the tesla coil, you just gotta dash into stuff to instantly kill it and with the bosses the molotov should be enough
any tips for ethereal?
I don't have a video or anything so you'll have to look around on an attempt to find the stuff but to your right at spawn there is an ability capsule with a molotov in it, that's really good for both bosses so you wanna grab that when you get into the level but some lizard dudes are gonna spawn, just kill them with dashes and stuff. After you get the ability go to the teleporter and the big chest next to the teleporter has a tesla coil in it which will pretty much protect you from all enemies getting near you. (this is optional but you can get yourself a crowbar too at a printer somewhere, and also feel free to open any chests you see. That's what I did but idk if they're necessary since some were usless). Beating the boss is easy since it's just 2 beatle queens and the molotov can pretty much kill them both.
on the second level just make sure you're moving around a lot as the green exploding bastards suck and will hit you, I personally went straight to the portal since the crystals are kind of lined up on an arc to the portal but get some chests if you want. The boss is in the bottom of the cave through the roof entrance in that one ship, the bosses can be killed easily but be careful as one of them is a flaming elite so that might hurt you, the tesla should hopefully kill it though.
since I'm just using my words and I'm not good at that it's probably best to just wait for cabbages video
thanks
I'll take that into consideration, I'm just not used to having like no health lol
why is there only merc
not a lot to say for this trial. just do literally anything and win
Damn console matches that video thank god
Time to do this trial all day until i get ethereal
Switch is different
The Coil is a Rejuvenating
I'm absolutely let down that the seeds are that different
I just double checked and yea my PS5 matches cabbages video
Glass and swarms
Same with the Switch
Not super stoked on swarms but things will be weaker i guess
I've been trying for like 15 minutes now
But shit, ill check every damn chest then die and run it again
I want that tesla lol
You ain't getting it on Console
Balls
Sadly
I'm genuinely mad
Why can't all versions have the same damn seed
Or someone actually post the Ethereal achievement on console
Its always posted on PC
Every. Damn. Time. Lol
I found a reddit post from console a year ago and tried to reset clock but that didn’t work at all
Need something to deal with mobs and boss ideally but speed is good
Glass should help tho
I want to find a gas can or somethin
Ignition without gas on merc is meh
Shrines are taking way too many tries to be worth it
Just take captain with hacking beacons to check whats in everything
Yea rhats my plan
Ignition and Ocular HUD in the cheaper shrine
Ok yea the shrine near the tele just doesn't drop shit
Lmao guess what i just found
What?
First item: 
In a large chest where the small pond is that the newt alter hides sometimes
Behind the wall
Wait there's a 3rd chest?
So there's 3 big ones?
Hold on I gotta see where tf this 3rd one is
Im going merc and going straight for that
oh i see
im stuck now in 1:43 as huntress
will try it
Bro that's a green on mine wtf
Like i can play merc and not die just fine but not getting hit ONE time, i dunno
Hold on I gotta double check
Most other items are meh so far but that combo alone
Tesla and a crowbar then dash when its off
I may get this eventually today
Wow ok apparently i got hit somewhere but that was pretty easy
I hate how bad the items are on the Switch seed
Yea i get hit. Every goddamn time
Doesnt matter, just not a good enough gamer i guess
Only AOE you get is Wisp
Welp here goes attempt 27
Alr im gonna skewer the entire first stage of this trial just for you
I can complete it just fine
I meant chef
Not getting hit is a whole other thing
Funny you say that
Yes but I want to see if the items are actually different or just scrambled in a different order
I haven’t found one
No they're actually different
Instead of Coil you get Rejuvenating
You only get Rounds through printer

It's shit
Rejuv of all things
But at least you get a Drink and Wisp
And a hoov if you really need it
Anyways
I need fucking prayers
Cause this is likely the only run where I get to stage 2
I need all of it
Yea this shit isnt fun to me so frustrating
I swear if this is actually the run
I'm gonna burst to tears
If the Titanic can make women cry
Getting Ethereal with shitty items will make this man cry
The teleporter is in a different spot on Stage 2
And there's a Seed
I'm mad
I was so close
But it's doable
So doable
Stage 1 is only hard cause of Wisps
There is a turret near Stage 2 tele
I just need to get to the Tele quicker next time
Cause I not only took damage, but died to a Larva
This is so possible
Holy shit bois
nice
I FUCKING DID IT
Cabbage didn't help me much for this one, sadly
Even tho the seeds didnt match it was the heads up i needed
I only checked because his vid
Literally the only 2 fucking items that could help me
So for any of the Switch players who need to know what the fuck to do
Lmao
Upon spawn, immediately Eviscerate the Crystal next to you, then dash towards the multi shop
You laser focused that shit
Get the Drink and make your way to the next Crystal
I saved a video but i grabbed a few items that werent needed
Make sure to let Wisps spawn before you get past the grounded bars so they won't be much of an issue
I only ever waited for chests that were tho
Then Eviscerate the 2nd and dash your way to the 3rd and final one
The Brass won't be an issue, but the Leumarian can be one
Eviscerate the 3rd Crystal and make your way to the Tele
Before you activate it, open the right chest from the pair of 2 chests for your Wisp
Survive the fight, then activate the tele
Don't worry about the horn, since you can't actually make use of it
On Stage 2, just go right for the Crystals
Before you activate the Tele, buy the nearby turret
And then all you gotta do is survive, activate the Tele, then make it out
Everything but items are identical to the PC seed
Yea same
Enemies, bosses, maps, chest locations
And my items were just moved around
Switch items are completely different
I thought they used to be wildly different
No coil, no crowbar, Rounds printer
Maybe the SOTD update helped
Lame
Theres my run i def grabbed a few things i didnt need to
But didnt spend too much time on items i dont need at least
Carried by Tesla wtf
Y'know what, I can no longer complain
Cause I'm too skilled to need Coil 
Im not
I just needed that last unlock and its damn near unfair how skilled you have to be to get it without some crazy luck with the trial roll
My Merc is done
Once I finish with the 2nd Pokémon DLC, I'm gonna full on grind on Risk of Rain
I got tired of waiting for the dlc on console so i bought it on PC. When dlc dropped on console i knew exactly how to do all the new unlocks i just had Ethereal left
@cyan stratus thanks man now i got a better time man
first stage sucks and items don't match
this is gonna take forever man
Scroll up, i finished it on PS5 and someone else did on switch today
Yea
Read from here
You'll get it dawg
You got till the 21st at 11:59
you right
This is your CHANCE dawg
wisps grant me unhappiness
I will make the excuse that I'm tired
I might get it
Godspeed and good luck
Just remember you could do 1000 runs and only one would need to succeed for ethereal
Getting it right once is all you need
No matter how many times you failed
I will eventually get to stage 2
fuck these lesser wisps
what stings the most is taking 1 point of damahe
I took damage but I'll keep the run going so I know what sirens call has for me
ok I did it with taking damage
trial 2
wish me luc
holy
ok, died just at the teleporter finished
this feels impossible
@bitter shell I managed to defeat both tp bosses without will o the wisps, and died to a beetle guard, could be a sign
It took me like 30x attempts today
I mean it just takes a decent seed
Usually one item x artifact combo is enough to carry you through the trial
Like brainstalks and honor
Thats a good one to get
A seed that let me get brainstalks immediately was also the seed that got me ethereal
I will say
With honor of course
Will O' makes it easier
Since it's your only DPS in Stage 1
After Stage 1 you'll never need another item
Only thr turret near the teleporter
I might get it
I feel like i don't have enough time to get the will o before I'm swarmed
gotcha
I need to get consistent at that
once I find a consistent path to it I should be good
I mentioned the path here
will re-read
What's the easiest character to do trials on?
maybe railgunner
Loader huntress merc or railgunner because of their high evasiveness or in railgunners case the huge range
Do you think it’s possible to get the ethereal challenge for mercenary in the current prismatic trial?
Edit I beat it
yes
Yes definitely lol
Been trying for ages and got it finally
jus got slicing winds on a newer profile i made for introducing a friend to the game, wow this trials nice
tesla coil next to tp? swarms+glass? banger
today i finally get the eternal achievement
Is the coil still the seed?
Ty
Welcome
I’m gonna be heading to bed, so you’ll need to ask other people questions if you got any
Good luck with your grind, and may you be carried by coil
Good shit
I missed it ;-; time to grind fr
Womp womp
Time to wait for the next Glass seed
Or some other ridiculously easy seed
Ugh did I miss a glass seed
You did
i got ethereal with a glass kin swarms command dissonance soul
iirc
it was beetles both stages
hit the 1st tp late so you get 2 wisps instead of like 8. clear out the adds on s2 after tp hits 99 so more won't spawn
@empty rover
54 more days 🥺
No
wdym no
No way I’m doing that
Bullshit achievement
?
Started laughing when saw the cover
Annoying bombs
fireworks are supposed to help with the pests, didn't really do anything though. grab an extra band from tp if you can, i wasn't able to. go slow and you'll get two golems as 2nd boss
@empty rover
god, this trial is hell
i just get slaughtered by the pests and larvae before i can do anything
it feels like they took all the most unfair enemies in the game, and put them into one run
I'll take it
seems like the key is to get to the teleporter before it hits two minutes
take too long, and a second chimera spawns
my strat was to collect a crowbar at the start of stage 1, then a runald from the teleporter
on stage 2, take the path through the wider section of cave, smash the crystals there, then make a beeline for the teleporter
shaved off a couple seconds
there's a way i could go a bit faster though
seems you need to kill a few enemies to level up enough to one-shot the sup
i'm now 8th place
got to 1:38 with a little optimization
i figured out i didn't need the runald from the green chest
i just grabbed the crowbar in the cloaked chest, rushed to the tp, and instakilled both bosses
😔none of the frequent players are on the board (aside from Cabbage)
The OGs are startna stop playing this is sad
What’s the Merc stack for today?
i know its very sad even i stopped doing prismatic trials
Are we supposed to spawn at the same place??
Or does it just change every hour or so
Why do these blind pests straight up have aimbot
sure, a crowbar is enough for supercharge
This trial is so fun and easy
i wouldn't say so
those elite pests are no joke
not to mention they chose a couple of the hardest enemies to headshot in the game
fair
you always spawn at the same place
the seed controls EVERYTHING
spawn point, chests, enemy types, enemy spawn time, etc
If you hit the blue orb in the first wave and do the null portal, you dont get the Lunar Chimeras in stage 2.
Null portal?
Btw, like I said, all you need as railgunner is a crowbar on stage 1, and a runald from the boss
Take the tunnel on the left when you spawn into stage 2
If you get to the tp before two minutes pass, only one chimera spawns
The damage of a runald and crowbar boosted supercharge is enough to kill it before it can even move
I'm sure a better railgunner could optimise the route even more
I'm fairly new to mine jumping
It's a tech that I had no idea even existed until watching a prismatic speedrun
Just place a mine, then shoot in the opposite direction you want to go with your tracking bullets
You take a slight bit of knockback with every shot, so it sends you flying when combined with a mine
That's also why bungus is completely useless as railgunner
Shooting any kind of shot interrupts it
The Null portal. The Void portal under the Bazzar after entering the Blue portal. If you complete the 9 rounds in the Void Fields and then go on to stage 2 though the Null portal, when you get to stage 2, the moster types will be different and the bosses will not be Lunar
since a
is enough,
is better for getting shorter time.
and pests wont spawn, once u r fast enough
I mean, the peep won't help much, most of your movement comes from laying mines and shooting behind you
The mine cooldown is short enough that you won't really need to wait
Is the crowbar ebough to one-shot the chimera though?
You need a band as well
combine mines and
so that u can jump further
and a crowbar is truly enough
if u can kill chimera before it improves its level
Good lord, can you share a video?
damn, i could NOT pull off a run like that
yee
i've got the basics of mine jumping down, but there's such finesse to those movements
Wait until an easy one drops
is this one not easy
Idk I'm not home
it's alright if you're well-versed in railgunner
Or Merc
well, railgunner can one-shot the bosses with nothing but a crowbar and a runald
hell, she just needs the crowbar if you can hit the second teleporter before the one minute mark
I'm looking for someone who can get a lower than my pb 1:27 on railgunner I cant figure out how to lower it any more
I feel like I must be missing something with a mobility item somewhere
I have cut a whopping 2s over the past hour of attempts. Somewhere I am missing a near 20s time save. If anyone know how these players did it, I would greatly appreciate the help xD
you're most likely gonna see cheaters in the top ranks after a trials been out for a day or two
scroll up for the answer
Oh thankyou
Can someone explain how their concussion device launches them so far? Is it being shot or is it just the orientation?
if you shoot backwards it increases your speed
sitting witha sloppy 1:15
@vivid cedar
welp 1:14 my pb my arm hurts too much to continue
any tips on doing the ethereal trophy on todays trial?
I havent checked all the chests but, I'd look for one on the first stage with a broach in it
great, i havnt seen yall skilled players in trial for a long time except xenon play as acrid (sometimes)
seems s2 crysral leaping is so hard for me in this trial
can you boss skip vagrants?
ive done like 3 attempts where it seems it shouldve happened
but nothing
@dire plover
crystal leaping?
sure
it used to not but frailty make it hard
i managed to succeed once but there is still 3s left for optimization
this is my current strat @vivid cedar https://streamable.com/wwrgkb
not optimized tho
ah ok ok
after break the 3rd crystal, and shoot the vagrant when band in cooldown
then kill it with a supercharge
yep
so did you use the first crystal in s2 to jump?
can also do a crystal leaping in s1
yeah i was just thinking about that
crystal does about 30 damage lv1?
frailty getting in the way
in s1 it does, but deal more dmg in s2
does hitting multiple weak points through each other actually do anything?
jn my experience, it wont
ok, so i just need to get to the boss before the band comes off cd
if u meant for a same enemy
yeah, the vagrant
need at least ~6 seconds cooldown when hit tp
i used one on the left side of the cliff
just snipe 3rd crystal
if u r fast enough lizards wont spawn
yeah I cant figure out how to survive the crystal leap xD
it will spawn a freezing wisp
u can land on a tilted wall to decrease fall dmg
or smth else
do you adjust your jump off the fire thing?
cuz i take 30~ damage from making it land on the chest
damage must be endured if you want to utilize its momentum
now that I check again its closer to 50 depending xD
wait u meant the fall dmg?
like in the first 5 seconds, on the way up, I shoot backwards to go further up on the cliff
and I take damage from it
yep, u also recived some dmg from that
yeah, it adds up fast xD
it makes run faster so it dosnt matter
ive always thought speedrunning was cool and this is such a good way to satisfy it
same, a relaxed way, different from other speedrunning cause every run spend rlly short time
I do wish the leaderboard was divided by survivor, but idk how many entries there are
what decides how far a crystal sends you? I cant get it consistent.
oh im dumb, didnt realize you double blast pack
Loader board pls
i'm struggling to get a run off the ground
i just can't find a way to kill the vagrant fast enough
how do you do that ground slam consistently?
I can't seem to find the angle
nvm, found your video on it
yet, you didn't seem to end inside the vagrant's hitbox there
i got 2:28 with a pretty sloppy run either way
took a few tries to kill the vagrant, and i fell off the ledge when i tried the saw trick, but kept a saw there long enough to kill the queen
is there an archive of the leaderboards of each trial anywhere? i'd like to see where my final score was last time
@empty rover
wow that is a really funny way to beat that beetle queen lmao
the timeline has been distorted. cabbage isnt using full default merc
I get the impression that's entirely for the first jump
its rare to see this, so has cabbage used alt skills before?
The first did though
it didn’t i had to scrap a jellyfish
No, not at all
i beat this but not the last one
in the trial before this, you could one-shot the bosses with little effort as railgunner
now you need to use much more precise strats as merc
hitbox slam the vagrant, then get the sawmerang stuck on the beetle queen
odd
the teleporter just insta completed
must have failed to spawn
how do you get those again?
Charge tp without getting hit
ya
i was thinking, is there any good reason to take runald's as merc on this trial?
was averaging 21s s1 tp activation with and 24 without
seems the trial changed since i last checked
just trying to figure out who would be best to kill the bison horde with
so far, no luck with any survivors
anyone got any ideas?
Got a win, figured out rex's root and alt shift are perfect for rounding up and executing the bison
I'd like to see that 38 second huntress run
maybe good equipment rolls?
is anyone on? i'm looking for ideas
regular huntress cheater
Improved my time considerably
takes a bit of rng, but my strat is to grab a crowbar right at the start, then grab a uke from the teleporter
if the uke procs, it will kill every bison it hits
man, feels like this one should be easy, but im just bad
the wisps hit me every fucking time
woo
didnt even need to wait for cabbage
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
holy shit, i never thought about gasoline
and i had no idea you could do that to the bison waiting on the teleporter
I’m sure that’s just the band


is useless
