can we go much lower?
yea zinq is probably gonna beat it
im gonna take a break
uh so what does that mean
now you gotta post a video, and @tardy bay’s gotta update his
yea cap better post a vid
. unless somebody else wanna beat it.
ig i post a yt vid for now
hopefully i remember my password

holy
nobody liked the first prismatic vid so no pt 2
big ggs
oh well. it is what it is
I thought wr was 38?
nope
or was zinq's invalidated
39.98 to be exact
oh so im just bad at memory
congrats
dont forget glass
with 3 crystals near tp
and i thought the char that couldve set the next wr was railgunner
see that requires this pesky thing called aiming
true
man i forgot how to create thumbnails
you can make your own video about yourself, surely that’s a good idea
imagine making thumbnails
and better s1 holy
didnt even notice
yep i expected that tbh
is there any chests you can open
(yes)
for some free timesave after tp
yes
time to wallclip now
well its arrow rain so atleast easier than ballista
well the item is pretty good too
uh
@wraith cipher hehe
is today the last day?
funny enough no
if anyone's beating xenon its you
once i beat C i'll do a vid
you guys are real huntress enjoyer
well uh i didn't end up beating C yet, but in route I just grab the energy drink s1
xenon beat C
also proves that C was just playing very well
ok i beat C just have to beat this other guy
changes: dash to chest in s1 for item. wallclip if possible in s2 (hard)
also m2 kinda fucky in s2 now with the item
||energy drink||
which chest sorry
ty ty
what about rusted key for free hardlight afterburner
we get purity
where does the rusted key box even spawn on s2
funny enough it spawns close to a crystal near spawn

I'd guess an animation cancel somehow
not bad if this triggers stably
you did open a lunar pod while firing so maybe that's what triggered it
do it with glaives
i love the sub 40 route where they cancel glaives, just like swim in the air lol
the glaive anim is slooow
keep canceling glaives to keep altitude is quite new to me
dont get me started
@pure cypress pb?
hes 40.6 now
btw whoever wins i will sub to their twitch channel
hmm i kinda wanna see how many huntresses are there in the top 100 atleast
we won't know unless the heretic activates their secret powers
i feel like almost every character can sub 1
did we get an engi sub 1
like ever?
yeah
probably in the past yeah
probably not good enough
we need a google spreadsheet with links to fastest recorded times with all characters
get it done mea
bruh
what a pain
i wonder if they will add a scroll wheel to the SOTS version of the ptrial in the future to allow players to see more information about the leaderboard.
add coins reward first😫
You can just cheat it 
well I can’t beat that
C?
rip wig
the sub 39s
the last betrayer of loader was me

whats the best time atm
38.80
by C?
...yes
X
show pic of leaderboard
ty
np :)
nah i dont want to wallclip
im not even wallclipping
surely needed for 38.50
the true prismatic trials reward
so how much time a wallclipping can save
just curious, i already stop ptrial on current one (skill issue
in theory it should be able to save 2 dashes
so its ~1 second
taking current cooldowns into account its probably around 0.7-0.8
ok
but im also bad, so its probably even less
@north berry any pbs
3 hundredths off
u can do it

Very clean 
Only on a glass and command trial could I do merc ethereal vs artifact of kin + wisps
@north berry update
nothing


just 3 hundredths
my right hand hurts
💀
i thought i didn't had it
guess ill settle for joint. im spent 🫠
does this mean there are three decimal places
or it just randomly ranks people with the same time
i dont wanna think about it. im absolutely dead inside rn
lmao
that time is 38.80 exactly
I think ties are decided by steamID*?
hmm interesting
*(citation needed)
well now im 3rd place with a 38.80 but this one was with the time value being 38803.9
so it either rounds down to .80 or rounds up to .80
which i think means that mea's run was 38.79
and xenons was just above .80
game actually has such precise calculations
yeah now im back at 1st again after submitting 38794.1
i guess theres the possibility that both mea's and xenon's run were both exactly .80 but i doubt it
im not sure how the leaderboard would choose if it was an exact tie
refresh
its over anyways
back to regular trials
just follow the leaderboard i thought

that means heretic was fast 🙂
well i proved that the leaderboard sorts by a more detailed time value than what you see but do with that info what you want
lol im joking, i know u finally canceled ur time

final result
all huntresses
https://youtu.be/-lz0gFEIUDw here vid ig
it's finally over. tied world record hehe.
thank @zinq3907 again for route.
im gonna take a long-ass break


just lure them to fall out
seems every1 ran away when the god seed ended
then the cheaters took over the leaderboard again

why is new trial impossible
dym ethereal?
its possible but hard, on s1 u should lure these two titans to fall out of map, on s2 idk if any brooch there, but u can just wait for vanilla enemies spawn and kill the void enemies in the void seed.
better wait for next trial, or if cabbage post a better method.
also can search for some range item if u can (i havnt play current one much though
wait, i forgot the preon on s1, just take it for s2 void seed clearing
still hard though
fr
didnt think about walking them off though
how do you lead them off the edge my wont leave the teleporter area?
if u r far enough they will follow u since they havnt enough range to use stone fist @winter crystal
even when u r in range they will still follow u in a really slow speed (if no eclipse
now I sleep 
definitely not one i could do the merc challenge on lol
looking forward to seeing how cabbage manages
i don't know anymore man
probes can and will spawn somewhere between 11 and 13 minutes on stage 2 and snipe you with 0 reaction time. lost several runs to this. have fun
squid polyp surprisingly helpful
Squid Polyp gets slept on too often
if some1 gets ethereal from current trial then they worths it
(mostly)
congratulations on winning the #7 in the world
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
th is this trial
@empty rover
Just from a glance it looks simple enough to get the Merc challenge done on (no ranged enemies)
the power of heretic
oops
"oops"
how
how do you do imps fast? @delicate grove
nah u needs to use the ‘’Squawk a solemn reply‘’ to kill all the monsters on the map
@quartz phoenix
where did you get a preon from?
the equipment multishop?
am i blind i cant find it?
its like behind where you spawn
oh ok
Guys guys guys what’s the easiest prismatic trial for mercenary ethereal on console
I can time travel so any date is fine
Nvm guys I got it
time travel ??
I'm guessing the game draws the date and time from the console, and the game still has the same prismatic trials 'attached' to said dates
Probably generates seed based off date lol. Never thought about it but makes sense
Wonder if that means cabbage could just sit down for a weekend & complete the next month of trials & schedule them so he could take a vacation
he entirely can
theres only like 2500 trials total so wouldnt take that long
Then it repeats?
i believe it breaks for a few years or something, and then repeats
@vestal inlet knows what happens
Lol that’s kinda funny
sped up 10x while i'm waiting on stage 1. hit 2nd stage tp after 6 minutes to get imp
i found out what happens if you dont wait
@empty rover
also for anyone that wants to do it faster tricorn is the 9th item in the adaptive chest on stage 1 so you dont have to bait the imp overlord on stage 2 off the stage
hey @empty rover previous 2 trials are still pinned
we love mobile discord
Yep! On steam, sometime during the 2362nd trial the game bugs out and then gets stuck on trial # -5923 essentially forever. I did test if trials actually loop, and it seems they do not. I know the cause and can go into exact technical details if anyone's interested.
is the last trial fun atleast
It's not spectacular: command + sacrifice, distant roost into titanic plains, both bosses are beetle queens
not too bad though
ew
Give the deets!
The way the game determines the seed for Prismatic Trials is by counting how many cycles (3 days) have passed since the first trial (on 2018-08-27). It takes that number, then bit shifts it to the left by 32 (multiplies it by 2^32), which ends up generating a fairly random looking number, at least in base 10. As a side-effect this sets the upper bound for the number of trials at 2^32-1 (seeds 0x00000000 00000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF 00000000). That's a lot of trials! There's a catch though. The way the game determines the current cycle is by querying the Steam servers for the current timestamp. This is done indirectly using the Steamworks library's GetServerRealTime() function.
This is where things get interesting! The value returned by this function is a 32-bit unsigned integer. Nothing wrong here, and this doesn't limit the number of seeds on it's own, but what does the value represent? Well, this value is the seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00). Why is this a problem? Remember that a cycle lasts 3 days. This means that the upper bound for the number of trials is now all the way down to (2^32-1) / (3 days in seconds) = 16570 trials over 136 years. That's still a lot of trials, but that's not all! Remember that the Prismatic Trials epoch starts on 2018-08-27. Since the GetServerRealTime() function starts at an earlier epoch and effectively does not overflow, that reduces the number of trials down to ((2^32-1) - (Prismatic Trial epoch in seconds since the Unix epoch)) / (3 days in seconds) = 10646 trials over 87 years. This is a lot fewer trials than the Seed generation supports, and would stop functioning after 2106-02-07.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! The Steamworks implementation for GetServerRealTime() internally uses a signed 32-bit value to determine the current time, which means it's affected by the Y2038 bug, and effectively halves the available active time for trials. With the consideration that the Prismatic Trials epoch starts roughly 47 years into the Unix epoch, that leaves the total number of trials at 2362 trials over a mere 19 years!
What happens after the active time runs out though? Well, once GetServerRealTime() reaches past it's maximum value of 2^31-1 (0x7FFFFFFF) on 2038-01-17 at 03:14:07 AM (which happens very early into trial 2362), it starts returning -1 due to the internal overflow condition (this is consistent with a 32-bit time_t implementation). Further, -1 will be returned for as long as the internal overflow check holds or the library is updated to account for the Y2038 bug, meaning Prismatic Trials would be frozen forever.
Now for the part which I don't quite get and haven't tested extensively. Somehow, it seems like the -1 makes it into the calculation for the seed cycle as a signed 32-bit integer despite explicitly being converted to an unsigned value in both the game and the libraries. As a result, the seed calculation will now always see the current date and time as 1969-12-31 11:59:59 PM, sees that this would be cycle #-5923, and finishes converting the value to the unsigned seed value of 18446718634618257408 (0xFFFFE8DD 00000000). If GetServerRealTime()'s -1 was interpreted as 2^32-1 (0xFFFFFFFF), the cycle would instead jump ahead to #10646 with the seed 45724221833216.
As a result, Prismatic Trial seed 18446718634618257408 on 1970-01-02 (due to inconsistencies in the date calculation) is effectively the final Prismatic Trial seed. This brings the grand total of Prismatic Trials to 2363!
TL;DR: Game mixes incompatible epochs and time spans. Steamworks library suffers from the Y2038 bug. Trial #2362 becomes the shortest active trial at just 3h14m07s. Trials after 2038-01-17 become frozen forever at 1970-01-02.
So is that when Cabbage retires
Apparently. Appreciate the explanation, very cool stuff
If anyone's still playing risk of rain 2 in 2038 lets hope it's not hard to get the mercenary challenge done when the trials freeze forever
o.o
When i get home later today I'll see if I can figure out time travel in prismatic trials and see what the last trial ever will be like
huh, interesting
why no s2 tp boss?
@empty rover ...pin?
Existentially terrifying!
i will now be time travelling to see what the final prismatic trial is going to look like
Looks like I can't time travel that far
Steam isn't able to start 
Well if anyone can figure out how to launch Steam with the date set to any time in 2038, let me know
It just won't boot for me when I try
lack of possible spawn points maybe
go bazaar and get another s2 to solve this
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
Quail spotted
Good day, lads
@vivid cedar hehe
played slam and got a 1:24
havnt got any lunar item, but kill some wisps before enter bazaar may active the portal first, and then get the meteor
for ur route
be hehed :/
i think ive been spending more time on multiple players lately
and reserve more enthusiasm for SOTS
i make a mess
22s s1
i hated that 
ok i give up on this
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
Is there a tc drone this trial?
What’s your day job? lol
@empty rover
we run a tight shift in here
that was fast
also fun trial
oh no
not gonna be first for long
@cyan stratus how do you do sky meadow fast as runner
?
dont use polar field
ty that really helps a lot
wig beat u
ye i can tell
dislike buttons tbh
yea buttons suck
Is there a video of the current trial on switch?
guess hes slamed one and did grapple cancle to the others (3rd is in the air)
what's he time
i didnt use slam theres ur route
you lost time at buttons?
yes
my net slow 
idk how much time u spend on buttons but i feel likes i make a mess
my s1 similar except grappling rock and aerial grapple reset.
how did you do s2 besides the button part
i pressed E towards the air and quickly looked around at each button
missed them very precisely lol
im pretty sure thats the button part 
i ll try it later, maybe should stop sprinting at the buttons part
new wall clipping spot
@north berry dont make me boss skip on this trial, last warning
i wonder how that guy who wallclips with loader is doing
afk on multi players game
sorry too late to see this
thats whole route, no difference on s2 except for the more fluent buttons
if there were no optimization on the route, wont continued with the current trial
how many times have you guys picked loader?
gonna have a check
I DID IT. FINALLY
seems a better s2
is the pattern better than honor?
similar to my old route
im pretty sure dissonance and honor codes have the same number of inputs
i just prefer dissonance because there's a chance i could screw up the middle part of honor. plus i feel like i move better with the dissonance code
wait ive been doing enigma code this whole time
wig try not to boss skip challenge
pretty sure i got this one in around 10 attempts too
Impossible
finally a better time
when tf we gon get rewards for it
ALSO if you hold back on the ballerina move as merc (I love calling it that) you do a v turn and if you do it to a slant… I dunno see what happens (I main merc fuck you loader isn’t better) not personal I just love my mercy boy (fuck you guys if you think merc is easy) cause he is and agree. ON APRIL FOOLS [laugh.mp3] fuck I’m so funny hehe. Anyways I love you speedy little loader mains. Stop making fun of us mercs though we’re speedy too you assholes. Love yuh 😉
Ghgumbkugnmchj
Yeah
LETSGOOOO
zinq you having an identity crisis like what happened?
maybe 
bruh
a little off topic but holy shit there a aurora rn
Any tips on defeating this without getting hit for the merc achievement? I'm tired of bashing my head against the wall after getting hit by an invisible wisp.
this should help
gl
add leaderboards to console gearbox ;-;
good job!
this trial makes me want to rip my hair out
im going insane
how?
@vivid cedar
just arrow rain
but theres so many larva?
then strafe the lonely one on the ring top
alr
@delicate grove how tf did u not die on that enigma run on loader when you punched the fucking crystal
idk which run you mean but every stage you start with 4 seconds of invulnerability
There’s no way number 1 is not hacked
doing that in 28 seconds is impossible
who is this hunteress?.
its 1.28 not 28
I mean global
wdym?
this is global?
it is??
yea?
wrong leaderboard than?
I swear I saw one up in the chat logs
go up ^
maybe
mb I’m console so I have to rely on chat logs ;-;
bro how do people play these things they are all impossible like wtf
get good
if you wanna be safer just farm for a preon i'm pretty sure it's the 2nd drop on both stages
@empty rover
FUCKED UP EVIL WIZARD
heretic tech
You’ll be skilled enough to do it someday
a few weeks ago there was a prismatic trial where the challenge was literally free
i shall try
the new trial dosent look to hard but knowing me id get rolled by those elder lumarians lmao
got vid?
he will beat it
yeah tks
now time for loader
@empty rover (also a few older trials are still pinned)
@vivid cedar can i has route?
okay
That is not a fun captain
Can you clip through walls to deal with the mushrooms on stage 1 to take no damage?
Cause stage 2 is free but I can't get past stage 1 without taking damage
Did it but stage 1 is definitely the hard part
are you on console
yea
its different between console and pc
you have to take your time with the mushrooms but take too much time and your doppelganger will mess everything up
spent like 6 minutes on stage 1 and speedran stage 2 after that
if there was a primordial cube on stage 1 this would be absolutely free but there isn't
only equipments available are:
- Disposable Missile Launcher
- Crowdfunder
- Blast Shower
- ? (Jade Elephant)
- Forgive Me Please
The green ? in the multishop on stage 1 is a Ghor's Tome
and with items like these FMP is useless
also if you go to mithrix he's overloading and the artifact of kin spawns nothing but the lunar chimera wisps 😭
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
how do i unlock the prismatic trials
wdym?
is your game modded?
only mod i actually have though is sprint lock and deputy chaacter
no matter what mods you have you cant play prismatics
Anyone beat Mithrix yet on this trial
challenge exepted
died on p2
in primatic once u charged up ur rescue ship,the screen will turns into black
and leave like a pretty long time to get ur record on the list panel
thats a old glitch
💪 
beat that dog
can't beat the dog, it's more op than railgunner
how did someone get that time as MUL-T
trimping
a simple bounce tech
i
you
ik
im not a fan of atg rng
might as well buy it since it's close
could get the firework
the chest you could only buy in the tp zone
im basically retired 
mul-t turned into a car 💀
wait a sec, is this momentum bug that appeared with release of dlc?
idk cause i purchased the game after release of SOTV
the prismatic trial changed
no?
updates
is it just me or is the loader audio a bit quiet
i thought thunderslam was really loud
i think they broke the loader audio
loader audio is now attached to master volume instead of sfx volume i think
thunderslam is still loud lmao. you can hear it at 1%
how do i get the achievement for mercenary
Shear funking willpower
you wait for it to be an easy one or you try to imitate cabbage on the harder ones for like six hours before you get burnt out
ethereal & new skin review while i wait for stage 2
blazing magma worm
oh the title is wrong
@empty rover
Reupload?
nah i'll just delete my youtube channel and upload the right one on a new account
I can’t believe Cabbage is dead
is it possible to cheese 100% hp merc this date's trial?
Yeah
Stage 1 you can clip through the stage and get the apothecaries to walk off a cliff
Stage 2 you lure the magma worms to fall off the stage
that dead cells skin review is the most interaction we will ever get out of these cabbage videos
finally prismatically alined this was as super easy prismatic trial lmao
or i got lucky still not sure how the trials work lmao
new artifact pretty cool
oh god surely there won't be a lemurian rng trial
love how the artifact is useless here
this prismatic trial is by far the easiest one for any new players to unlock preon with lol
I had one years ago that put me on top of the chest so there is a better one out there
@quartz phoenix hello
both
slam 
slam makes me a bit deaf, but it's okay
who needs ears anyway
and heres the route https://streamable.com/qv5302
nevermind back to runner i suck at free eq
all i can hear is slam
ivenot played runner yet but i doubt does she need free eq?
wel ik what u meant, sorry for my bad understanding
boost with preon
hehe
real
joy?
I think it's hilarious
it drives me insane
It prob will drive me insane too once i get over the novelty
truth
boss skip the wisp 
yeah need to add greater wisp to the list
@quartz phoenix ruddy
did you boost with preon?
not at all
time s1
ah so its the same regardless of boosting
i miss a shot on the air
oh no preon strat
barnacle killed me sevaral times so i dont want to try again
cryo necessary for titan?
both speci skill can one hit titan
i see
i think m2 will be 0.5~ second slower than r in killing titan
heres my route btw
maybe cryo in jump-pad so no waiting?
i cant aim for some reason 
really? good news for me
relying on only cryo's boost isnt enough for this distance
have tried this
im trying to unlock mercnarys second special by not taking damage, but theirs a void field enemy inside of a void field and i have to kill him to leave
is it possible to without taking damage?
if it's not a barnacle try luring then out
it is a barnacle
thats weird, i dont get why it says its apart of an objective, just like the teleporter
thx
Which stage is the void seed on
If you ever get sky meadows you can use the artifact portal to leave instantly
And it counts
only if meadow is the 2nd stage but ye
When I went for the achievement it was apparently the best seed for the challenge ever released
Artifact of Glass active with stone titan boss and TP very close followed by stage 2 meadow
Literally took 2 minutes with minimal risk
What I did was I subscribed to Cabbage with notifications on so I got a notif every time they showed the new prismatic trial damageless
There's a few trials every month where the challenge is doable by the average person and maybe one where it's braindead easy every 2 months
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdRrf5S0SFk
this being the last one we got that was ridiculously easy
if you get it on this trial you don't deserve it unfortunately, do the right thing and wait for the next one
I almost summoned hat to pin this, and then I realized 
Current vid hasn't been pinned yet 
oh right
@empty rover
@empty rover apologies for ping again but wrong vid
Oh
This Prismatic Trial painful
any prismatic trial is a pain honestly
watch out for wisps on s2, spawn kinda randomly and annoying to deal with
setup's a bit suboptimal right now so the gameplay's worse than usual
@empty rover
i have a different map
how did you lure them off so easily

mm/dd/yy in the title time
i am using chrysalis to try and lure them off
you have to fly up to a certain height to get them to move
look how high up he is in the video
got a bit unlucky with my alloy vulture getting knocked back, shouldn't happen to you
@empty rover
i have a 1.24 as loader
Man this is so impressive …
Time to fail it 90,000 times trying 🙂↕️
I’m def not good enough for this trial to unlock slicing winds, maybe next time
Wait for one with command, maybe glass and get 1-2 brooches so you have some leeway
Yeah that’s the new plan, hopefully they give one soon
is it normal to be at around 100th without going for speed

?
and idk if im bad or not but i feel like if i m1 extension then eviscerate i dont destroy the crystal yet in the video cabbage uses one eviscerate and destroys it
just realised you can grapple reset the crystal from the equip barrel
im going insane i hate wisps
at least the devotion update added two new artifacts that don't make prismatic trials any harder
true
they can potentially take the place of spite, soul, honor, other artifacts that make these trials significantly harder
i wish metamorphosis was in trials
what would be the point in selecting a survivor then
there wouldnt be
m2
Damn people really out here on acrid making me proud :3
Curious which items they are picking up
Would have to be blight no?
IG IDK how you are supposed to kill the crystals fast enough
huntress I could maybe get a 1:23 if I optimized but im too tired
You got time to relax and try later
Someone did 1:16 with hunt so 1:23 should he doable once you find the pathing
Does attackspeed affect how fast I charge my nano bomb on artificer?
Are there no scrappers on command?
I wanted to get 20 multikill with artificer but took a single razorwire
Omg wrong chat I apologize
Yes the only exception is a chance for a scrapper to be in a specific spot in the new stage verdant falls
Man I wish I could see how these acrid or even railgunners are getting sub 1:20, I don’t even make it to the second teleporter until 1:16, highly impressive speed runners
you could probably ask sparkle they will usualy send a vid
https://streamable.com/7ehm9v /should have a better way to deal with lesser wisps, I'm not good at dealing with hordes of many. (a better rgunner can obviously sub 1 min on the current trial)
what would i look for to get the merc achievement?
watch this video for help
cabbage here makes a video showcasing how to get ethereal for every prismatic trial
#prismatic-trials message
hehe
Have no idea how acrids are clearing the first stage so fast lol
M1 cancel maybe
Classic Xenon gameplay
Even by m1 cancel tho they would still have to kill all 3 crystals and start the first teleporter by 20 seconds before the healing birds spawn over the two boss vultures
https://1drv.ms/v/s!AlrYyvezfJmRkhzsjKqhJgk9hIRs not my best run but heres the route
I literally have no idea where to even start on getting past the first stage 😭
Hello everyone !!
Can anyone help me do the Mercenary: Ethereal challenge, where i need to complete a Prismatic Challenge without falling below 100% health as Mercenary ?
#prismatic-trials message
I think this one is still the current trial
The trial changed
Now it the super glass canon trial, but without chests
ok thank you
even earlier than i played this game
for that trial on acrid i didnt really use anything
Thanks for your hard work and consistent uploads
Thanks for the video, I was so curious how stage 1 was looking 💪🏻 nice job
is there a way to see the entire trial leaderboard and not just the rankings around yours?
ask people what their leaderboard looks like
that is sad. Saw a reddit post of people asking for it from a year ago
thought there would be a way by now
just wanted to see the top ranks, so thanks though
maybe gearbox will one day make the leaderboard scrollable
how is that acrid doing 1:12? is there a moving tech I dont know? best I can do with little wasted movements is 1:28
idk xenon is insane
ill give acrid a shot
i got 1:26
got a 1:15 as railgunner
sadly yes
dang it that sucks
the enemy it drops from is random yes
also, do you teleport to the next stage faster if you have less money?
yes
got 1:25 on acrid but im out of ideas for cutting more time. That 1:12 acrid must be a god
if you want to see the faster times then just do it faster
Most likely hitting their m1 cancels efficiently
youll never guess what i'm doing for the huntress time
shooting stuff?
huntress tends to do that
this used to be at like 31
wait how did you deal 1400 damage 
Caffeinator
oh thanks
i dont get how do you not get damaged by wisps i hate wisps
For anyone who doesn’t have slicing winds and isn’t a god merc like cabbage, you can kinda cheese this trial if you are good at dodging the lizard fireballs on stage 1. Just rush the teleporter, kill boss and then kill everyone on the map. Spam the equipment items until like minute 9-10 depending on when you start spam activating equipment. Whenever you land on the preon accumulator, go to stage 2 and one shot the boss with it
thanks a lot dude 

pretty good probably couldve saved some time stage2
you dont need to swing around the tree for the secobd boss, a standing slam+ punch is enough
oh really i remember at the start of the trial trying that and it not working but ill try it
Oh, this one's still not pinned, I forgot to summon hat earlier
@empty rover
just took a short break and this happened
tysm
Is the current trial easy to get ethereal on?
this will help
Happy to help (:
thank alot
although i think this is just plain design flaw, no main ways to play the game should be locked behind stupid thing to do like this challenge.
sorry for my venting outbust, i've doing this challenge for 6+ hours the "normal way" like the devs intended. Like i can't even take this anymore. I'd rather hitting my balls for 1000 times than doing this
route theif here @quartz phoenix
i was totally copying ur route and got a same time
why do people auto attack constantly on merc? is there some kind of animation cancel?
correct
you can animation cancel the 3rd hit of merc's primary into other skills to make them apply expose as well
Hopefully the way I explained worked for you
sorry to inform you it doesnt works, or i am a noob
the preon thingy doesnt seems to travel far? or i need to shoot at shotgun point?
either way i reach the stage 2 boss like 4 times but i keep getting hit by either birds or wisp
The preon has a slight delay from when you press it, so you press it, immediately start the teleporter and aim your cursor right at the boss spawn
By the time he spawns, preon shoots and 1 shots
And you hit teleporter and escape
the preon ticks, no?
for me it doesnt one shot, the boss just 2/3 hp down
Preon explodes on impact
nevermind, either way i give up. maybe wait till we have any lucky cheese seeds
You should be able to kill with the tick also as long as you don’t aim above his head
It’s really simple, the hardest part is just waiting the 8 minutes on stage 1
i just don't want to do another, ive been on this challenge for 6-7 hours. Judging from the 4 years ago thread i found on the internet the devs wont change any of this unlocky skills requirement soon. So maybe we get any lucky seeds then
Yeah I feel you, it is time consuming. But you will most likely have to wait for the perfect seed which who knows when :p
i am sorry milli, i know u meant good. Its just that i want to play this game for fun, and trying to do this isnt fun at all and it been making me more and more angry. My mental health already not good.
But i appreciate your helps alot, thank
🫂
not even mad i just think its funny lol
if you just want the item then you can edit your save file if you are playing on pc
i just want the merc 2nd R, all others thing i can play to unlock. Just this one is stupidly gated. And i dont want to just unlock everything cause it feels like what's the point of playing. But this particular one is dumb


double boss skip seems doable here but probably wont be able to land near enough the 2nd tp to make it worth
sub 50 seems satisfied
wig trying not to boss skip challenge difficulty impossible
its so satisfying im addicted 
oh no
how many attempts did it take?
got 3 in total with the first being from trying to figure out where the spot was, i think it usually averages out to 30-40 resets per skip
i feel like i could probably do it on both bosses in a run, maybe one day

now is Toolbot Xenon
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
How you figure this stuff out is beyond me
insanity
@empty rover
Good to know that rex's utility also crashes on prismatic trial crystals
Damn I didnt even notice that it hit that far away
holy that’s a pro strat, look how quick the run ended
fastest way to finished trail

no faster then Rex
