#

this is a huge diff, i need to think about it

clever surge
#

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.

clever surge
#

i did 1:35, i killed boss more efficient but i don't understand the key of this big difference

clever surge
#

or u used sticky proc

scenic surge
#

nope

#

just HUD

clever surge
#

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?

scenic surge
#

ill post a vid

#

you can just kill the second titan to go fast

clever surge
#

and you took the lysate cell, that's a very smart move

potent plover
#

can someone help with the mercenary prismatic trial challenge?

scenic surge
clever surge
#

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

scenic surge
#

might be good because you can thunderslam both

#

but where the bosses are positioned, you can still just punch both in any given punch

clever surge
#

i said for thunderslam and also maybe if you want to do a powerful punch

clever surge
#

0:37 my hook was very bad but its okay

#

if i played well here i can gain 1-2 sec

hidden cove
#

u can get free preon in s1 ig

clever surge
#

No, if i used any equipment, i couldn't use in s2 because of cooldown

#

and my route is not designed for that

hidden cove
#

nah u press e and q at exactly same time and equip wont be in cd

clever surge
#

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

hidden cove
#

idk whether it could kill all beetles but im sure it will save some time

hidden cove
clever surge
#

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

clear raven
#

For the prismatic trial i followed the video but the equipment chest isnt there and i get wisps and sulfur pools for 2nd stage

clever surge
#

Do you play ror2 on pc or playstation, xbox etc?

clever surge
glacial marsh
#

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

copper charm
#

get psgs and a topaz

#

and greens are ukes and atgs

opal dirge
#

Brooch helps tho

copper charm
#

oh

#

really?

#

but its over the fraction

opal dirge
#

The shield created by PSG is considered part of your max health, but barriers created by any source are not health, they are barriers

copper charm
#

oh

#

what about one topaz the all speed

opal dirge
#

the what now

copper charm
#

topaz, then SPEED

#

oh and theres an equipment barrel somewhere so get like a gubo or somthing

#

not dml

copper charm
#

ooh wait topaz and opal

#

for wisp protection

#

before topaz gets used

clever ember
#

is the trail achive broken?

#

or are psg considered health?

fleet crow
#

you can grab purities there too

copper charm
#

you can do newt??

#

wait what does purity do

#

wait can you still do dreams too?

clever ember
#

radar scanner will show it as ?

copper charm
#

it will show as a "?"

#

yes

opal dirge

clever ember
#

thats so silly

copper charm
#

wait

#

wheres the newt

#

oh

#

its THAT one

steep echo
#

Its -2 sec cd on every cooldown and -1 for every stack beyond first stack

#

L_Light_Flux_Pauldron 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

..your point being?

That's still worse crowd control

#

Saying "I beat it with worse items" doesn't mean those items are better

brisk mantle
delicate grove
#

if there wasnt access to preon i think shuriken fire band is actually pretty decent for this trial

fleet crow
#

It still feels like Uke would be better than fire bands, since the radius is small and not gonna hit all of them

delicate grove
#

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

fleet crow
#

Shuriken Uke seems better than shuriken band

#

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?

scenic surge
#

during probably, but you can do whatever you want

#

warning there are some cheaters in top spots, so some times are literally impossible

unreal terrace
#

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

unreal terrace
#

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

unborn saddle

#

is crystal jumping using the explosion from the crystal to accelerate? and is that more speed than the regular mine?

unborn saddle
#

yes

#

just watch cabbages railgun video

this prismatic is so difficult yeesh

# cyan stratus 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

cyan stratus
#

yea it's a bit inconsistent just make sure you can do the 2nd stage every time and you're good

slender relic
#

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

#

are you trying to do the merc achievement

#

that one took me forever

slender relic
unreal terrace
#

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

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

thats just the normal victory

slender relic
#

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

broken roost
#

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

slender relic
#

...? Ya i had barrier yellow colour smh didn't think there was a diff

light ingot
#

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

broken roost
slender relic
broken roost
#

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

slender relic
#

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)

unreal terrace
#

From what I know spawn changes by where other enemies are and where you are

vivid cedar
#

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

its a good feeling when you finally get it though

#

weak mortar
#

this is horribly frustrating

#

whose idea was it to make a mandatory achievement where you can't get hit once?

lament zenith
#

It teaches how you can play merc

#

Hes easily the best character for avoiding truly everything

weak mortar
#

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

lament zenith
#

Honestly I would consider this one of the better seeds to do this challenge on

weak mortar
#

all the same, this feels more like a game of luck than skill

lament zenith
#

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

weak mortar
#

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

earnest mason
#

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

weak mortar
#

that last one wasn't even my fault

#

it dropped my input and didn't dash at the worst possible time

earnest mason
#

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

weak mortar
#

the lemurians are the most unfair part by far

#

half the time, they don't even get caught by the cube

lament zenith
weak mortar
#

even when i give them time to group up

lament zenith
#

Thats basicslly just 20% extra damage

weak mortar
#

or i could try positioning before cubing, but then i get hit

earnest mason
earnest mason
#

dont play merc so I dont know terminology

weak mortar
#

Finally

weak mortar
#

it's used to clear the lemurian horde on stage 1

earnest mason
#

oh

#

that must have been the one equipment barrel I didnt check

weak mortar
#

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

lament zenith
weak mortar
#

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

lament zenith
#

It can be but you could also use it to have them take fall damage

earnest mason
#

jeez overloading sounds way harder, I always got mending when I got to AD

lament zenith
#

I remember that since with frailty that was a quick way ro unlock gesture

weak mortar
lament zenith
#

At least none are blazing

weak mortar
#

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

lament zenith
#

I would have to say that this seed is definitely on the easier side of getting ethereal if you just practice enough

weak mortar
#

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

earnest mason
#

I did the same route over and over till I got it lol only deviated at the tp events

rough comet
#

managed to get the first level cleared peacefully but got hit a bit in the 2nd level + my doppelganger spawned in

rough comet
#

ahhhh the crabs just screw me over every time

weak mortar
#

Doppelganger? The hell are you on about?

#

For the crabs, it's all about being CONSTANTLY on the move

there's L_ShapedGlass next to the nearest time crystal after spawn on 2nd stage

If anyone needs it

weak mortar
#

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

charred owl
#

also freezes mobs

weak mortar
#

Not half the damage, even

#

If you aim right, it's 4000% vs 10000%

This trial is actually pretty easy I got backup magazine and an alt to mercs 3rd ability on my second account

rough comet
#

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

rough comet
#

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

cedar ether
#

any tips for ethereal?

rough comet
# cedar ether 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

cedar ether

thanks

I'll take that into consideration, I'm just not used to having like no health lol

Glass and swarms

bitter shell

Same with the Switch

eternal phoenix

Not super stoked on swarms but things will be weaker i guess

The only difference between Switch and PC are items

Which is so fucking ass

Ohhhh

I havent ran it yet

I've been trying for like 15 minutes now

#

I was practicing a lot with merc yesterday tho

#

We’ll see how this goes in a few

bitter shell
#

I'm genuinely mad

#

Why can't all versions have the same damn seed

#

Or someone actually post the Ethereal achievement on console

eternal phoenix
#

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

Yea ik

#

There is also hooves

#

Near teleporter

#

Along with Wisp

Need something to deal with mobs and boss ideally but speed is good

There's ignition

#

I still need to see what's in the Shrines

eternal phoenix

Ignition without gas on merc is meh

bitter shell
#

Shrines are taking way too many tries to be worth it

lament zenith

Just take captain with hacking beacons to check whats in everything

Oh yea true

#

Eh, I'm already going through the stage already on a dead run so

eternal phoenix
#

Yea rhats my plan

Wait there's a 3rd chest?

#

I played captain and just started exploring

#

First item that dropped was tesla

So there's 3 big ones?

im stuck now in 1:43 as huntress

#

will try it

bitter shell
#

Wait wtf

#

There's no 3rd??

#

Bro why is Switch the version that's godawful wispcryyy

eternal phoenix
#

I already got hit tho this is such ass

bitter shell
#

Bro that's a green on mine wtf

eternal phoenix
#

Like i can play merc and not die just fine but not getting hit ONE time, i dunno

bitter shell
#

Hold on I gotta double check

eternal phoenix
#

Ok crowbar as second item

#

Not bad

bitter shell
#

Ok wtf

#

Why can't Switch be carried by coil

#

I'm genuinely mad

eternal phoenix
#

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

bitter shell
#

I hate how bad the items are on the Switch seed

eternal phoenix
#

Yea i get hit. Every goddamn time

#

Doesnt matter, just not a good enough gamer i guess

bitter shell
#

Only AOE you get is Wisp

eternal phoenix
#

Welp here goes attempt 27

lament zenith
#

Alr im gonna skewer the entire first stage of this trial just for you

eternal phoenix
#

I can complete it just fine

lament zenith
#

I meant chef

eternal phoenix
#

Not getting hit is a whole other thing

lament zenith
#

Yes but I want to see if the items are actually different or just scrambled in a different order

bitter shell
#

I finally got through stage 1

#

Wisp is actually the savior

eternal phoenix
#

I haven’t found one

bitter shell
#

Instead of Coil you get Rejuvenating

#

You only get Rounds through printer

lament zenith
bitter shell
#

It's shit

lament zenith
#

Rejuv of all things

bitter shell
#

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

eternal phoenix
#

Yea this shit isnt fun to me so frustrating

bitter shell
#

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

lament zenith
#

Ok nvm got absolutely blasted by 10 wisps im not going through this again

bitter shell
#

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

eternal phoenix
#

Wow my heart is racing

#

I think i did it

bitter shell
#

This is so possible

eternal phoenix
#

Holy shit bois

bitter shell
#

Any time I get past Stage 1 it's a high chance to be done

#

LES GO GOOD JOB

eternal phoenix
deft sorrel
eternal phoenix
#

I was shaking but i did it

#

After YEARS of occasional attempts lol

bitter shell
#

I FUCKING DID IT

eternal phoenix
#

Fuck yes!

#

We both got it

#

Thanks Cabbage for the video

bitter shell
#

Cabbage didn't help me much for this one, sadly

eternal phoenix
#

Even tho the seeds didnt match it was the heads up i needed

bitter shell
#

I knew what I was against

#

But none of my tools

eternal phoenix
#

I only checked because his vid

bitter shell
#

Naw dawg

#

I looked at the video and saw Glass

#

My pupils went crazy

eternal phoenix
#

I was trying to reset my clock yesterday to do this

#

Then saw that post

bitter shell
#

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

eternal phoenix
#

Lmao

bitter shell
#

Upon spawn, immediately Eviscerate the Crystal next to you, then dash towards the multi shop

eternal phoenix
#

You laser focused that shit

bitter shell
#

Get the Drink and make your way to the next Crystal

eternal phoenix
#

I saved a video but i grabbed a few items that werent needed

bitter shell
#

Make sure to let Wisps spawn before you get past the grounded bars so they won't be much of an issue

eternal phoenix
#

I only ever waited for chests that were tho

bitter shell
#

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

eternal phoenix
#

Did you also have blazing wandering vagrant?

#

For second map

bitter shell
#

Everything but items are identical to the PC seed

eternal phoenix
#

Yea same

bitter shell
#

Enemies, bosses, maps, chest locations

eternal phoenix
#

And my items were just moved around

bitter shell
#

Switch items are completely different

eternal phoenix
#

I thought they used to be wildly different

bitter shell
#

No coil, no crowbar, Rounds printer

eternal phoenix
#

Maybe the SOTD update helped

bitter shell
#

Nah

#

Switch still massively lacks behind

eternal phoenix
#

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

bitter shell
#

Carried by Tesla wtf

#

Y'know what, I can no longer complain

#

Cause I'm too skilled to need Coil engiclueless

eternal phoenix
#

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

bitter shell
#

My Merc is done

#

Once I finish with the 2nd Pokémon DLC, I'm gonna full on grind on Risk of Rain

eternal phoenix
#

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

deft sorrel
#

@cyan stratus thanks man now i got a better time man

cedar ether
#

first stage sucks and items don't match

eternal phoenix
#

PC and console never do

#

Switch especially

cedar ether
#

this is gonna take forever man

eternal phoenix
#

Scroll up, i finished it on PS5 and someone else did on switch today

bitter shell
#

Yea

cedar ether
#

I see how it's done

#

I just have massive skill issue

bitter shell
#

You'll get it dawg

#

You got till the 21st at 11:59

cedar ether
#

you right

bitter shell
#

This is your CHANCE dawg

cedar ether
#

wisps grant me unhappiness

bitter shell
#

Just get the Drink and Wisp

#

Hoov is optional

cedar ether
#

I will make the excuse that I'm tired

bitter shell
#

You chill dawg

#

You got the weekend

cedar ether
#

I might get it

eternal phoenix
#

Godspeed and good luck

cedar ether
#

im gonna need it

#

I despise this first stage

lament zenith
#

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

cedar ether
#

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

eternal phoenix
#

It took me like 30x attempts today

lament zenith
#

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

bitter shell
#

I will say

lament zenith
#

With honor of course

bitter shell
#

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

cedar ether
#

I might get it

#

I feel like i don't have enough time to get the will o before I'm swarmed

bitter shell
#

Legit after you kill the third Crystal

#

Just gun it

#

Get the jar and dip

cedar ether
#

gotcha

#

I need to get consistent at that

#

once I find a consistent path to it I should be good

bitter shell
cedar ether
#

will re-read

brave folio
#

What's the easiest character to do trials on?

vivid cedar
#

maybe railgunner

lament zenith
#

Loader huntress merc or railgunner because of their high evasiveness or in railgunners case the huge range

raw hound
#

Do you think it’s possible to get the ethereal challenge for mercenary in the current prismatic trial?

Edit I beat it

eternal phoenix
#

Been trying for ages and got it finally

bitter shell
#

Took me around an hour to do

#

Glass is literally a win button

gusty spire
#

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

silent basalt
#

today i finally get the eternal achievement

keen quiver
#

Is the coil still the seed?

bitter shell
#

For 30 more minutes, yes

#

Unless you’re on Switch, cause all items are different

keen quiver
#

I'm on playstation and I don't see the coil 😦

#

Is it at a different spot?

bitter shell
#

Yes

#

Near a Chance Shrine on PS

keen quiver
#

Ty

bitter shell
#

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

keen quiver
#

I don't see it aaaa

#

I found it and completed it lessgo

bitter shell
#

Good shit

whole cedar
#

I missed it ;-; time to grind fr

bitter shell
#

Womp womp

#

Time to wait for the next Glass seed

#

Or some other ridiculously easy seed

golden token
#

Ugh did I miss a glass seed

bitter shell
#

You did

fleet crow

i got ethereal with a glass kin swarms command dissonance soul

That time again

weak mortar
#

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

weak mortar
#

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

fleet crow
# weak mortar I'll take it

😔none of the frequent players are on the board (aside from Cabbage)
The OGs are startna stop playing this is sad

languid ember
#

What’s the Merc stack for today?

quartz phoenix
languid ember
#

Are we supposed to spawn at the same place??

#

Or does it just change every hour or so

languid ember
#

Why do these blind pests straight up have aimbot

vivid cedar
languid ember
#

This trial is so fun and easy

weak mortar
#

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

languid ember
#

I know

#

It was a joke cause I’m really fucking mad

weak mortar
#

fair

#

you always spawn at the same place

#

the seed controls EVERYTHING

#

spawn point, chests, enemy types, enemy spawn time, etc

languid ember
#

You kidding me???

#

2 LUNAR CHIMERAS FOR STAGE 2

stuck moat
#

If you hit the blue orb in the first wave and do the null portal, you dont get the Lunar Chimeras in stage 2.

weak mortar
#

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

stuck moat
#

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

weak imp
#

anyone got tips for this trial

#

i’m struggling with it

vivid cedar
#

and pests wont spawn, once u r fast enough

weak mortar
#

The mine cooldown is short enough that you won't really need to wait

#

Is the crowbar ebough to one-shot the chimera though?

brisk mantle
#

You need a band as well

vivid cedar
#

and a crowbar is truly enough

#

if u can kill chimera before it improves its level

vivid cedar
#

so U_RunaldsBand is useless

weak mortar
#

Good lord, can you share a video?

vivid cedar
weak mortar
#

damn, i could NOT pull off a run like that

whole cedar
#

yee

weak mortar
#

i've got the basics of mine jumping down, but there's such finesse to those movements

weak imp
#

how can i just easily beat the trial

#

i wanna unlock the harvester scythe

keen quiver
weak imp
#

is this one not easy

keen quiver
#

Idk I'm not home

weak mortar
#

it's alright if you're well-versed in railgunner

bitter shell
#

Or Merc

weak mortar
#

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

misty torrent
#

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

misty torrent
#

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

solemn fiber
misty torrent
#

think so?

#

thats unfortunate

scenic surge
#

scroll up for the answer

misty torrent
#

Oh thankyou

#

Can someone explain how their concussion device launches them so far? Is it being shot or is it just the orientation?

scenic surge
#

if you shoot backwards it increases your speed

misty torrent
#

Ah

#

Updates soon on my progress

misty torrent

sitting witha sloppy 1:15

@vivid cedar

misty torrent
#

welp 1:14 my pb my arm hurts too much to continue

unreal moat
#

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

vivid cedar
vivid cedar
#

seems s2 crysral leaping is so hard for me in this trial

dire plover
#

can you boss skip vagrants?

#

ive done like 3 attempts where it seems it shouldve happened

#

but nothing

vivid cedar
#

generally speaking, use missiles for boss skip

#

idk other ways clearly

vestal inlet
#

@dire plover

dire plover
#

oh ok

#

thank you

misty torrent
vivid cedar
#

it used to not but frailty make it hard

#

i managed to succeed once but there is still 3s left for optimization

misty torrent
#

not optimized tho

vivid cedar
#

u can kill vagrant with a m2 crit and a runald supercharge

#

so watch isnt necessary

misty torrent
#

ah ok ok

vivid cedar
#

after break the 3rd crystal, and shoot the vagrant when band in cooldown

#

then kill it with a supercharge

misty torrent
#

off cd?

#

oh I see

#

so it procs on the supercharge

vivid cedar
#

yep

misty torrent
#

so did you use the first crystal in s2 to jump?

vivid cedar
#

sure

#

like that

misty torrent
#

oh wow

#

didnt realize it went so far

vivid cedar
#

can also do a crystal leaping in s1

misty torrent
#

yeah i was just thinking about that

#

crystal does about 30 damage lv1?

#

frailty getting in the way

vivid cedar
#

in s1 it does, but deal more dmg in s2

misty torrent
#

does hitting multiple weak points through each other actually do anything?

vivid cedar
#

jn my experience, it wont

misty torrent
#

ok, so i just need to get to the boss before the band comes off cd

vivid cedar
#

if u meant for a same enemy

misty torrent
#

yeah, the vagrant

vivid cedar
#

need at least ~6 seconds cooldown when hit tp

misty torrent
#

yeah for animation and stuff

#

so leap off last crystal?

vivid cedar
#

i used one on the left side of the cliff

misty torrent
#

yeah not enough time to leap off last one

#

just snipe it

vivid cedar
#

just snipe 3rd crystal

misty torrent
#

the vagrant lived a few times from random healing lizards

#

I was so confused

vivid cedar
#

if u r fast enough lizards wont spawn

misty torrent
#

yeah I cant figure out how to survive the crystal leap xD

vivid cedar
#

it will spawn a freezing wisp

#

u can land on a tilted wall to decrease fall dmg

#

or smth else

misty torrent
#

do you adjust your jump off the fire thing?

#

cuz i take 30~ damage from making it land on the chest

vivid cedar
#

damage must be endured if you want to utilize its momentum

misty torrent
#

now that I check again its closer to 50 depending xD

vivid cedar
#

wait u meant the fall dmg?

misty torrent
#

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

vivid cedar
#

yep, u also recived some dmg from that

misty torrent
#

yeah, it adds up fast xD

vivid cedar
#

it makes run faster so it dosnt matter

misty torrent
#

ive always thought speedrunning was cool and this is such a good way to satisfy it

vivid cedar
#

same, a relaxed way, different from other speedrunning cause every run spend rlly short time

misty torrent
#

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

misty torrent
weak mortar
#

i'm struggling to get a run off the ground

#

i just can't find a way to kill the vagrant fast enough

weak mortar
#

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

unborn saddle
empty rover
fleet crow
#

the timeline has been distorted. cabbage isnt using full default merc

weak mortar
#

I get the impression that's entirely for the first jump

vivid cedar
#

its rare to see this, so has cabbage used alt skills before?

weak imp
#

is this trial easier than the last

#

and what’s a good survivor to use on it

weak imp
#

nvm

#

why’d the second teleporter complete instantly but the first didn’t

lament zenith
#

The first did though

weak imp
#

it didn’t i had to scrap a jellyfish

weak mortar
weak imp
#

i beat this but not the last one

weak mortar
#

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

weak imp
#

i just wanted the completion for the scythe

#

i didn’t get a boss on the second run

weak mortar
#

odd

weak imp
#

the teleporter just insta completed

weak mortar
#

must have failed to spawn

weak imp
#

it gave me the unlock for backupmags

#

bc it just insta completed

weak mortar
#

how do you get those again?

rancid tundra
weak imp
#

ya

weak mortar
#

i was thinking, is there any good reason to take runald's as merc on this trial?

cyan stratus
#

was averaging 21s s1 tp activation with and 24 without

weak mortar
#

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

hidden cove
#

regular huntress cheater

weak mortar
#

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

lofty harbor
#

man, feels like this one should be easy, but im just bad

#

the wisps hit me every fucking time

lofty harbor
#

idk how to deal with the bison(as merc)

#

lets go

weak mortar
#

woo

lofty harbor
#

didnt even need to wait for cabbage

cyan stratus
weak mortar
#

oh my god

#

those bison didn't stand a chance

lofty harbor
#

holy shit, i never thought about gasoline

#

and i had no idea you could do that to the bison waiting on the teleporter

bitter shell
#

I’m sure that’s just the band
