Thanks man
If this one is too hard you can wait for the next, and Cabbage will post a video for it too
improvised run because not much can go wrong just kill the wisps when they spawn
@empty rover
“Oh boy I can’t wait to see it I can do this weeks trial! Let’s watch the guide”
”what the hell”
yeah
But even then he didn’t need any more damage stage 2
It might have messed up his chain dashes with the crystals
That or cabbage is just cool af and flexing
Probably the last one 
oh
Yeah LOL this week might be a little bit
for anybody trying to get ethereal
There's some really rough wisp spawns that tbh I probably couldn't do without slicing winds
This challenge is considerably easier with swinds idk why cabbage never uses it
One time I think it was Zinq or Wig posted an "Ethereal" unlock video where they used SW to nohit a trial
where'd prismatic trials go 😭
you cant do prismatics in modded
Prismatics on console are just impossible man
Horde of overloding bulls how imma do it without the exploits that work on pc
Anyone on console has done it?
what stage?
I’ll go check it out now. Just to see how bad it is
The fact they ignore the rules of stuff though is just insane.
Like one of them had a blazing magma worm
Yea might wanna wait until next week 
to be fair overloading bison is actually pretty tame
Only melee attacks, not blazing, not too tanky
Yeah but if they die spawn wisps and then blind pests destroying me
550 just a few weeks away 

just run in circles and let your gunner turrets do the work idk
Ayeee good shit
imma actually try go for it
i have like no merc experience so it might take a while
@primal pecan thingy happen
Is that the wrong person
Mobile discord fix your app
huh
Sorry wrong @
👍
@solemn fiber (I totally got it this time)
"this trial is easy"
artifact of kin + soul + wisps stage 1
@empty rover
i love my life
THANKS 😭
How is today’s trial
fuuckkk i dont know how to do this thingg
i almost had it then i fell
@cyan stratus Saviour bro thanks
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
lets go! cabbage content
@empty rover
wisps are easy though, super predictable enemy type with a low hp pool
they're also incredibly cheap for the director to spawn and have a ranged hitscan projectile
WHYYY IS THERE NO RESTART BUTTON ON ESC
wisps may be but artifact of soul is far from it
hit 2nd tp at like 2:05 otherwise you get double the mushrooms and it's annoying
pretty straightforward trial nothing really can go wrong, had to do this twice since didn't record the first time
@empty rover
One more day till cool number
I am sorry who desgined the trail for today
first stage you have: bison and void urchins and the boss is perfected lunar enemys
but then the next stage is: Blind pest, the weird rats and clay gunners but then you have to worry about 2 blasing xi constructs as the boss
and they have opals and crit
I beat it but man
Is this pc or switch? Sounds like a switch trial.
Hm. I’m excited to see the cabbage video for that
I dont usaly do prismatic trails and the one day I decide to I get that
I thought they were randomly generated
Crazy amount of high health high damage enemies 💀
they are
yeah I had to use engineer to win
Void urchins and perfected lunar chimeras 😵💫
Cabbage must be cooking with this one
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
Yay cool number
@empty rover
what's the red item on stage 1
red item on the big 50$ chest on the left when in the fisrt stage after we spawn in
Am I crazy?
It's different on my end
It's two stages one
And the big chest gives Ben raincoat instead
And there's no aeon
Different for consoles
Cabbage, you are a legend
Wouldn’t have pulled it off if it wasn’t for you
I can’t wait to be in 1000th place in a few hours
so theres no way to do a p-trial if i dont have online funtionality?
you can, just no leaderboard tmk
theres an item n alt skill tied to it so it'd have to be offline too
OOOOOHHHHH
they put it under alt game modes.
did not notice that
trying to platinum the game on ps
How many people play a prismatic trial on average
i have played one prismatic trial on average
depends
if it's one that can be beaten in record pace (sub 40 seconds) it might attract a ton of players
I haven’t thought about prismatic trails since I had to get harvesting scythe
finally i did it
Nice job!
I've been trying to do this one to get the harvesters scythe but everything one shooting me is about to make me go insane.
Watch cabbages video on it
Once you get the path down it should be rather simple to also get the no hit achievement with mercenary, just be careful of the teleporter fight in stage 1
I hate doing p trials for mercenaries final ability. It's the only thing in the entire game I don't got unlocked. Any tips or suggestions? I keep getting close but losing at end
I also hate playing as merc but I want that 100%
Watch cabbages video, and then just keep trying
I would say the current trial is one of the better ones
Also just one thing to learn is that thing where you extend the hitbox for the third slash since it lets you instant kill the crystals
Gotcha. Going to go try and unlock mercenary first then lol
Me when I try to unlock mercenary: ethereal (I don’t have mercenary)
I did it like 2nd try, worked out amazing
Ended up getting it just now! Took a ton of attempts (I am very bad at video games) thanks for the advice!
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
Managed to do it, I'm so glad for that video.
The second stage being so easy also helped.
could also use tonic for 2nd
@empty rover

i think i can get a pretty good time on this one
Not bad for my second run
getting that band is huge
is there a way to check either how many people have tried it, or what the top times are?
I died to a swarm of like a billion blazing lemurians as my teleporter boss the first time I tried one of these
hahahah
artifact of swarms moment
double falldamage and starting with random equipement are the only two artifacts on this one
so you dont need to worry about that
aaaaaaa fucking trash beetle fucked up my band proc so i couldnt kill boss
FUCKING LEMERIAN
TAKER OF BAND PROCS

I'll take top 10, 9th is the highest spot available with my current routing anyways
Is this easy for mercany on console? The prismatic runs are different for consoles and I can't find any guided for it other than pc
Also it's for the challenge
To not fall under 100% hp
trying to get slicing winds or whatever the fuck it's called and I wish for nothing more than death
this shit is legit ALL of the annoying-ass enemies
and with swarms it's just a field of damage
Bro I’m in the same boat, it pushes my buttons in incomprehensible hellish ways
also they have syringes
this shit is fucked up I'd rather get jumped in real life at this point
istg there are 500x more enemies in the actual trial than this video
@empty rover
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
no seriously, it's really not that bad...
@empty rover hi
If it took you 4 hours then I doubt anyone is unlocking ethereal this cycle
lol
look you just gotta lock in
Glad I already got this unlocked 😌
how common does command artifact appear in these?
How do I complete this thing I keep dying at the portal what's the best way to do it
The portal won't let me give the option to portal out
This is my first trial, and I was starting to think that trials are just insane.
I'm trying to do it with railgunner, b/c crowbars.
Nah man it's neverrrr this bad
Oh good.
I just wanna
😭 😭 😭
I thought it was kind of an insane challenge for an item unlock.
Because queen spawns beetles which are guaranteed to be Elites the tp zone fills up with them way faster than normal which sucks ass
The bomb death thing also makes it hard to capitolize on healing elite deaths.
there's usually a couple safe zones inside, but it makes it risky.
Gas def helps here, but god. What a crazy one.
I wish I didn't have to work so I could just grind at this seed.
Is it possible to play old seeds?
I wanna beat this one at some point, but I don't think I can before it refreshes b/c life.
does that one challenge for beating a prismatic challenge as mercenary without falling below 100% health come down to pure luck?
cause as it stands I don't see myself beating it without somehow getting my hands on a transcendence
Cabbage seems to post videos on how to do it every trial, watch the most recent one
^^
cabbage my goat
trying to use cabbage's strat, but the beetle queens keep healing rapidly - unsure as to why?
If not hit for 7 seconds, they regain 50% hp
^ overloading moment
Iirc transcendence doesn’t count anyway
Barrier does help though
then I gotta pray for an aegis and 20 harvester scythes
or yknow
wait for an easier one
cabbage did say it took them 4 hours and they've been doing this since like 2019
Yeah that was my plan
Doing one with artifact of glass was actually pretty simple too
Except that one win where I took a single tick of fire damage without realizing
I thought I had such a good run
Cabbage how wil lyou do ethereal achievement when the dlc is brand new
mouse and keyboard
true
cabbage is truly based
did the new dlc make this seed beatable?
massive prismatic trial update (button is green instead of gray)
loader meta again?
spoilers, dude
/s
@languid cliff @unkempt glade @north rock @grand stump ДЕБИЛЫ ТУПЫЕ
@languid cliff@unkempt glade@north rockdechep
Wait is anyone else got a probably stuck on the loading screen
im asking here cuz general is full and there's probably more merc mains here...did they actually removve merc combos, or am i just bad or something?
Turn down your FPS. The closer to 60, the better it'll get.
wait seriously? it's fps dependent now?
they screwed up timings and a lot of things are fps dependent now
Any of the new survivors better than Loader for trials?
console game ported back to PC most likely
when loader goes mach 35, no
i cant end the prismatic trial 😭 teleporter ix not working
yeah uhh
just downpatch 
selling harvesters scythe/slicing winds $50 per account
what
nice to see the tradition of breaking prismatic trials every single update is still going strong!
merc
Just wana let you guys know that todays seed is great for getting the merc achievemet
gameplay look choppy and different? have to cap it at 60fps ingame for merc (or pretty much anything) to work properly. audio sound bad? not sure what's up with that but nothing i can do about it. game look different? yeah
leaderboard also doesn't work, but at least achievements still unlock. button is green now. would really prefer not to have...
isnt that an apple
its a cabbage
@empty rover
Oh that's fucking nutty
First prismatic of the new DLC right?
Yup
ok i threw so fucking hard but at least i got this one
FINALLYYYY MANNN LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
lunar coins for completing achievements now????
thank you so much for this
i had no idea you could cheese by standing on tp
also
2:26 if anyone wants to compare times since leaderboard is fucked
(as loader)
can someone on console check if trials are the same on both now?
I'm on console and I beat the prismatic trial shortly before you posted the video but I also don't have the dlc
Is it just me or are you not able to post prismatic trial times as some of the new survivors (did it as chef and no time was posted)
the time will post. it's just that the leaderboard won't display correctly
It sure is fantastic that an easy Mercenary Ethereal trial came on the same day as the DLC
Maybe a lot more people will get the challenge done now 
@empty heart fuck
WHAT DID I DO
Leaderboard is broken
after weeks trying I found this, tysm got it in less than 5 tries
wym harvester scythe accounts
This is the best one to do the Mercenary achievement
stage 2 is literally free do merc achievement now
is it even good
only beetle guards stage 1 then only beetles stage 2
I need help with Prismatic Trials. I cannot see times nor do I have the scythe unlocked. I have tried restarting, using different characters, reinstalling the game, and I have done lots of research only to find one reddit post that had no definitive answer. I have the achievement for it though. Please help.
current update cooked leaderboards from what im aware
Does that effect getting the Harvester's Scythe as well?
it shouldnt, have you completed a trial?
I have. I have completed many
odd
I've done like 5, all with different characters. I reinstalled once too
you could always backpatch and complete a trial, but that may not work, so maybe go back to last patch and install a mod to unlock stuff and just unlock the harvester scythe
if you have touched modding at all
if not you just are probably going to have to wait for the leaderboards to be fixed
current version is unfortunately super buggy so
I love playing modded. There's no other way for me lol
Except with PT obviously
Where would I go to backpatch? I didn't even know that was a thing
i honestly forgot lol
That's alright. I should be able to take it from here
Thank you for the help. No one has reached out to help me yet so I really appreciate it
this is what i use for unlocks (my save wiped a while back and i didnt feel like regrinding everything i had at the time)
Sweet! I'll take a look into that mod and see how to backpatch. Much appreciated!
@zenith plinth why is this one the best one?
You can cheese the first stage with missile launcher
And the second stage is beetles
Like there’s a area in the first stage that lets you be safe and the enemies will just die from jumping off
With merc
where eh?
this is acc insane ty so much
Cabbage i fucking love you

I never thought I'd ever get that skill but that was a helluva lot easier than I thought
I FOUND A THING
just download the older versions of any mods that have been updated and boom
This one is more likely to work for you
oh i didnt know how to do it through steam
The downpatched prismatic is super hard for me right now. Trying to get the merc achievement, and it's nothing but wisps, alpha constructs, and those shitty orb dudes.
Boss is a horde of brass contraptions.
Bullets everywhere. HOW DODGE??
is prismatic trials leaderboard borken rn? i just finished a run under 2 minutes but can't see the leaderboard D:
yea leaderboard broken
parents are braindead after the update so it's hard to lure them off the edge, just fight them normally while killing the wisps
make sure to cap your fps at 60 if you want merc to play normally...
Bro is the coolest
h o w
Yup, has been since dlc dropped sadly https://discord.com/channels/417739215355510784/1278347136219746384
Actually nutty
@empty rover
oh my god you’ve been doing this for four years
Omg you're not kidding
dedication
фу щовель
holy shit u right
Will you...
🥺
👉 👈
do downpatch versions too?
(I'll understand if that's a lot of work and you don't want to, but I would find it very useful)
do we think its better than regular R tho?
Yeah
for the new prismatic trial does the artifact of rebirth get used during it? (meaning that i lose the item currently have inside it)
is it just me or is this one super doable
y'all should prob try to get ethereal on this one ive literally never played merc before and i clutched to the second stage
lemurians are kinda annoying but they're no wisps or blind pests lol
smae just got it, just get five tougher times on first stage with printer
and then missiles on the second stage and let lemurians infight
the audio is incredibly scuffed after the update and there's not a lot i can do about it
you can do a false son run and put some item like headset or ceremonial daggers if you want to start the trial with it lol
thank you very much man,
thats what i said
like how does it look
any ideas how I'm failing the runs if I literally never take damage, but the end screen shows I did??
I genuinely watch the hp bar more than the rest of the screen, it never took damage
end screen says I took 8, I think lemurians deal more than that and I'm CERTAIN gips didn't touch me
I mean i got it but personally i like the original one more but i like never run it
holy fuck did I panic real bad at the end there
I hate that your shift skill can go through walls sometimes
wasn't TOO bad tho, ggs
where's the watch in stage 1?
Let's go
@empty rover
that tougher times saved your ass so hard 😭
anyone wanna help me with prismatic trials me trrash have no frfiends because me loser
merc challenge or going fast?
my portals not working even tho I beat the boss. any clue how to end it?
nice!
swinds definitely has more dps but if you just want to look cool then evis
WE GET THERE BABY!
@smoky gust @steady drum
There is a website guide here
I think it might belong to cabbage?
has anyone been able to confirm that if Rebirth shows up you get the stored item?
It is true
I spawned with a behemoth that was catching dust in the rebirth slot
So ye prismatic rebirth does use the same slot as normal rebirth
thats great for ethereal runs
cause you have to optimize your rebirth slot every damn time
again another reason it should be stored indefinelty until you put a new one in
That would ruin its concept for normal runs
But I agree that it should not update the slot in trials
not as much as normal artifacts already do
Thats a bad argument
Just because something else is broken doesnt mean everything else also has to be
artifacts shouldn't reset everytime you use them, thats not why they exist. Look at command, it is widely considered to practically be cheating, but this thing has to be balanced around the idea that you use it often?
mine wont end either
I just restarted tbh
it did it 3 times in a row for me so I gave up lol
oh i already figured it out pretty easily
rebirth is likely to be removed from the list of artifacts that can appear in trials, like metamorphosis
oh damn yeah idk i changed characters and it worked
Sick. Downpatch FTW.
they didnt fix leaderboards with patch ggs
couldnt you get the merc achievement on any prismatic trial with the rebirth artifact if you put like spare drone parts or something in the pot
unless it has devotion too
I honestly just can't do it
Like I don't know what im doing wrong
I FUCKING DID IT
Finally
Im never doing that again
what if ur save gets wiped?
IT ALREADY DID.
Shits painful
fr
Idk, this rotation was fairly mild
And I had fun learning a decent path through
i feel like artifact of rebirth can really be abused in these prismatic trials
rip, can't fight voidling here
Heyo Ethereal Mercenary experts
Did any of you folks get Mercenary slams post-dlc?
I could not get any slams at all on 1.3.1, haven't tried on 1.3.2 yet
@empty rover
@empty rover
ok
why does the prismatic trail have the artifact of rebirth on, it just takes that item and if you fail you have to do another run to replace it?
yep
also after it takes the item you get a free item for the prismatic trial (not random tho)
really sad the leaderboards arent working ive actually been having a lot of fun with these lately
since lb is down whats yalls best time on this trial
idk what to write here just do the thing and win maybe
@empty rover
that rumia eating a cabbage video should be a cirno video today instead
#559
I only have rumia.
there are 2 cloaked chests on stage 1. i don't know what you'll do with this information
@empty rover
without dlc you can't take the gun, can you?
if you can, this is the easiest ethereal ever lol
dlc is enabled by default for prismatic trials
dope
Wow, talk about a free one
Super free prismatic wow
anyone know why no matter how many times I complete prismatic trials without taking damage as merc (7 as of right now) it just wont say that I've completed the prismatic trials OR unlocked ethereal for merc. idk if this is a bug or something on my end but someone pls help, I'm starting to go insane.
u sure you’re not taking damage
i mean i may have taken some damage but it's not until I have like 5 psg and i never fall below 100% hp
and besides that it still dosnt say that I completed the actual trial
psg damage counts as damage
barrier doesn't, but shields do
oh ok, i thought it was the other way around, thanks
alright cool i just tried it with brooches and got the achievement, thank u :]
no worries
I stacked teddies, got hit in the last 2 seconds, but 3 teddies blocked
BRO this is the easiest prismatic trial i've ever seen. ppl please go get both achievements, i got both today
i won by stacking 3 teddies a delicate watch and shurikens
both?
yes the scythe item and the mercenary special, im too dog at the game so i never rlly played prism trials
ah, scythe is piss easy lol, just need to win by any means
yea i just never bothered doing these trials bc im too bored to do them
current prismatic trial with false son
update broke leaderboard
Sigmatic trials
Rizzmatic trials
hi does anyone have any tips for no damage as merc i find it quite easy to take no damage from most enemies but i really struggle with stuff like titan vagrant dunestrider and wisps. i find i cant kill them fast enough before i take damage especially with wisps and pests 😥
in truth i find it difficult to dodge wisps regardless of the character it seems to always spawn just a hair too many so i take chip damage which is ok unless you need to take no damage😬
I believe the current trial for the achievement is ALWAYS pinned in this channel, the same person makes a guide for every rotation
hmm sorry i dont understand what you mean i dont really even know or care about trials i just did one for the item and will do 1 more for merc
pinned message in this channel has a video guide
the trial switches every 3 days and the same person always makes a video guide and it's always pinned in this channel so if you're ever struggling just check there
it is
and changes every 3 days
they always make a new guide
ohhhh i see thank you
i misunderstood sorry 🫶
ill definitely give it a go i might watch the guide but in truth i dont want to follow one to a t. i find i struggle with cooldown management and wisps most of all
as i understand it you want to proc that blue circle on enemies as it reduces cooldown but i find doing that is too risky
the debuff also does a ton of damage
today is not a good time to get the achievement, right?
@everyoneIf you are on console trying to get ethereal THIS TRIAL IS THE BEST ONE
https://www.reddit.com/r/ror2/comments/1fg53k7/psa_if_you_dont_have_mercenary_ethereal_now_is/
So what are prismatic trials and what is ethereal
‼️
go pickup bears, shurikens and a watch and the lil disciple and u win ez
when it comes to vagrants, if you stand on top of them they literally can't hurt you. other enemies that spawn however is a different story
trials though 😓
i feel like hit and run is the strat
otherwise youll just die xd
when i got my merc challenge done it was just artifact of kin + any non-hitscan enemy like golems / wisps
i think it was artifact of kin + lemurians and i used spare drone parts to pick them off from a distance
if you see any artifact of rebirth trials that don't also have devotion, you could use a spare drone parts strategy to get this challenge done nowadays
i'd recommend scouting out the levels thoroughly first because you only get one attempt with the spare drone parts before the artifact of rebirth resets to some random white item
mine was kin and chaos
first stage gups killed each other
second stage mending lemurians inside the abyssal map cave, that part took me a few attempts
golems arent actually hitscan!
they have relatively accurate tracking but the lasers can be dodged and rendered completely ignorable with move speed
wisps though i think your just kinda supposed to target them first 😬 i hate them xd
they can miss, but rarely, unless you waste a dodge on them which isnt worth it imo
even at base movespeed, they miss if you're moving perpendicularly to them
the laser targeting is ever so slightly delayed, but I believe the attack itself is actually hitscan
ooh your right my bad i misread sometimes 🫶
oh i see maybe i just dont know what hit scan means? i refer to hit scan as anything that isnt a projectile and hits “instantly” but idk im not a seasoned gamer 😵💫
that's exactly what it is
the attack doesn't fly as a projectile, it just scans where it's aimed at and decides if it hits or not
but the golem aim speed is slower than your base sprint speed, meaning they hit the air if you move fast enough
fair! tysm
new item's alright i guess
bit of a weird question, but do you have a savefile you keep for this?
can't help but notice you have the 2 other alternate abilities unlocked, but don't use
no just edit achievement out
fair enough, thanks lol
@empty rover
Cabbage is a hero for aspiring merc mains
I actually used a guide of theirs a looooong while back
is today the good day for the achievement
That bison jumpscare at the end lol
Good job
Good luck
i don't know what's wrong with the audio at the end, but i already had to do this 3 times because of various recording issues and don't feel like doing it again, my pc's not having a good time lately
@empty rover
Actually looks not that bad to get the challenge done.
Stage 2 looks free if you can just manage stage 1
SoTV trial is doable, but good luck dealing with lesser wisps on first teleporter
thank you! i discovered that 2nd stage is siphoned forest, but thankfully i changed that via the bazaar
there were two plains dreamers: one had beetle queen, the other had a vagrant
I was talking about cabbage's vid, oops
should have clarified
the "sitting on a branch so the boss jumps off and dies to falling" part made me laugh
yay i did it thx cabbage :D
Is this meant to be difficult or am I doing something wrong
It is meant to be difficult
Oh hell
Well
It is laughably easy on some seeds
The trick is to memorise where which items and crystals are to plan a good route
I'll look into that, thanks
LOL
Wasn't expecting that boss kill
try to get family and get family with bettles or bettle guards
kin glass beetles both stages
That's what I did it on
Pretty funny seed
there was also honor and soul but they werent problematic
The goat.
if you don't get 2 brooches, 2nd fight can be a bit hard because of overloading orbs. so you could just lure it into the void seed instead
i JUST had your video recommended to me on my mainpage. I'm not subscribed nor have i ever watched any of the videos, but i instantly knew it was you. congrats on making it this far 
@empty rover
lol wonder why it's recommending that, maybe you don't have the achievement..
you're right, i don't 😔
I also have been getting your videos recommended to me haha
Cabbage what was ur favorite prismatic trial of all time
What do the Top 10% get from the prismatic trials?
Absolutely nothing
for now
railgunner with jade elephant
don't do what i did at 2:19 lol
@empty rover
Looks like another prismatic trial that is doable for the challenge
not every
leaderboards still broke?
Leaderboards are BROKEN and will not display times since the release of SoTS. This has not been fixed as of current patch. FIXED!
@empty rover maybe?
yeah sure
5 years ago i started uploading videos of this achievement, which is a pretty long time i guess.
anyways, this one's pretty easy
@empty rover
yep
u can get the precious air
Does anyone have a cheating mod that bypasses the prismatic trial being removed?
I’m pretty sure you can’t cheat on prismatic because those are competitive
you can
Oh ok
why you wanna cheat?
Bro
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
how prismatic are the trials today
very
myesss
honestly not too bad
#566
Even a hurricane doesnt stop me from cabbage posting
Im curious what cabbages playtime is on this game
surely with how long theyve been doing this they have racked up a few hours
at least 5 hours I think
like 3-5 minutes per trial because he's simply so good it only takes one try
that doesn't account for all the fails or the trials that take hours to do
longest recorded one was like 22min for a win
yeah 70 hours is the theoretical absolute minimum
there was a longer one that took 40 mins
i'm not entirely sure what the boomerang does but it seems to do damage so get it if you want
@empty rover
Lifesaver.
Is this the only thing you do in this server?
Its not
holy shit this is literally the easiest seed to get ethereal in like forever
artifact of enigma and the second and third equipments on rotation are tricorns
I got it!! :D
Yuppie I finally got my Ethereal
@empty rover
The rootinest and shootinest
Why did nobody mention this trial has the worst map for ethereal possible
Fuck blind pests
theyre a bit of a pain but its absolutely nothing to worry about with two muskets (compared to other prismatic trials)
just keep at it, run around like hell and rush to tele, you dont even need items really
blind pests aren't hitscan. they're not nearly as bad as wisps
You literally just have to run away from them
While destroying crystals run in a circle or something
They certainly try to be whenever theyre on my screen
Also they fuckin sneak up on my ass and snipe me even when i make a point to strafe constantly
Nah they are worse
From my experience its easier to avoid at least 2 of the 3 hitscan shots of a big amount of wisps than it is to avoid the shots of a big amount of blind pests
Now for ethereal specifically wisps are a bit worse because you have to dodge every one of the hitscan shots (assuming you lack barrier) but blind pests do still come close
Specifically because of elites yes
Ive been 1 shot by corrupted fliers before
Or ig pests
they also shoot faster
a wisp shoots and then just stares at you for like 6 seconds
Another trial another cabbage W
Feels like i have a ton of wisps spawning in my games
@cyan stratus You managed 2:44 on merc, holy heck. The fastest I can get this time around is 2:48 on viend.
@empty rover
It was though
been that way since the dlc dropped
Well that sucks
that means you are simply the best gamer of all time 
forgot to post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHbxSe14m3I
please read the description
@empty rover
holy shit that's a really funny way to beat the first TP
I can already tell that Dunestrider is gonna give people a lotta trouble if they try and go for this one
it's just a clay pot
Mercenary: "Man I hope this trial is easy, I just hope there isn't a 'risk' of 'rain'!"
The nefarious dunestrider:
This dune is really being strided!
i had no idea there was an underground area there
@empty rover
watching cabbage play is like art
@cyan stratus how many hours do you have in the game
150
wow I got only 5h I'm new on this game
damn i got 73 hours and im still playing on drizzle
i have 168 and i only have eclipse 3 on some characters
I have 560 and I didnt beat e3 on anyone yet
1952 i only started doing eclipse like at all at around 1400
And at tis point I only ave e8 done on mando and nobody else
If anyone else needs to get the accomplishment to beat the prismatic trial with mercenary without getting hit, there's some good RNG right now.
Found good stuff this round: Take those two chests first. Get bubble, to get a green and red out of the second. If you pickup the green first, you can go back for a second red and have 3 greens and 2 reds in the first level.
Competitive people might want to sub some of it for goat hooves/red whip for more speed, but I really like a ninja ...
Could probably be a fast run to if you skip going back for the second red... but that made the run easy enough for me.
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
woah
ive been trying to figure this out. Do you think itll be back up any time soon? I know im not gettign any world records, but id like to see how I did lol
mb, i meant to reply to the guy above you
might get patched in the next update since its a full balance patch rather than a smaller hotfix patch but theres no confirmation on whats getting changed/fixed
@empty rover
Oh that’s fun. Ethereal gives 3 lunar coins. Thanks for this huge bonus gearbox
How am I supposed to get prismatic challenge done on mercenary when I'm always hit by a wisp at the last second
this trial has command so just get a topaz brooch
How many?
buy turrets and if you have a red possible item choose the drone booster (I don't remember the name)
YEEEAAAAAAAAA
?
I got it yesterday. I grabbed a topaz brooch, two energy drinks, a wax quail and missiles and it worked
congrats!
Yeah it was still difficult but a lot easier than just trying to use topaz and an energy drink

@empty rover
I deadass forgot that Prismatic trials offer like a demo for both dlcs
had to do this a total of 4 (four) times because of various audio issues, surely you can do it once
@empty rover
got it 1st try takes a while but nothing can hit you if you play properly, very safe trial
@empty rover
Bro this Prismatic trail trying to do it no dmg is making me wana kms
how long will u go on for
because i respect the long commitment
does anyone know what artifacts are the easiest to do mercs challenge with?
Beneficial: Command, Glass, Rebirth, Delusion, Enigma, Kin (if you get an easy enemy like beetles)
Neutral: Chaos, Death, Devotion, Frailty, Sacrifice, Vengeance
Harmful: Honor, Spite, Soul, Dissonance, Evolution, Kin (if you get a particularly annoying enemy like wisps)
With Rebirth, you can do like a singleplayer quick command run where you speedrun the false son and put spare drone parts in the cauldron at the end, then carry it over to the prismatic trial and have drones destroy everything that gets close to you (only first attempt though)
also if you get Sky Meadow (or Helminth Hatchery) as stage 2 on any prismatic trial, you can skip the teleporter and just go through the artifact portal to end the trial
Other than that helpful information, you're gonna have to get good at Mercenary
cool, thx
Glass cheese moment
if you use blue portal you can pick sundered grove which gives 1 reg and 1 overloading vagrant as boss

any runic lens enjoyers
@empty rover
this trial sucks, not worth grinding 10 billion hours on
just get the items and do the thing i guess idk
my pc keeps turning off randomly so i spent like 3 hours reinstalling windows and everything and the literal 1st thing it does when it boots back up is turn off again asdhklsdfgjklgdfs;ljksdfg;'kl
@empty rover
how the fuck do i even pass the prismatic trial without taking damage
@lilac furnace
mercenary ethereal only exists to inflate my mercenary's 'times picked' stat
i do
and this achievement is making my 'times picked' stat go up for a survivor i dont even play that much
leaderboard fixed now
finally lol
is there a way to see the entire leaderboard? i got 89th on my first ever run but dunno how good that is relatively
you can’t see the entire leaderboard, but 89th is pretty good. However, the only thing that really matters is against yourself, and you can probably get top 50
just did it for scythe but i might start doing them seriously
@empty rover
No you can't unfortunately
I wish it was possible to do it as well
You definitely should, they're helpful for being forced to go quick and making you learn map routing and how to traverse well
If you match cabbages time then generally you're doing pretty good
Cuz even though he has to extra safe for the challenge he's still getting it done fast
how is it possible that the weakest enemy is the biggest nuisance of all time

this achievement should not exist
picked 71 times but won once
leaderboard seems to still be broken for me? just finished current trial and its not showing
nvm steam down
I don't think anything in the game has given me more trouble than trying to unlock the mercenary alternate special
I have tried since release and I can't even get close it seems don't even want it to use just want to unlock it
The trials seems to always just have the one thing that slams me every time
If you can, wait for glass, or command and glass for even better
Then if still struggling, use a cabbage guide
Glass is only an upside since you can't get hit anyway
theres been a couple of free win trials just make sure you're checking the channel every few days
like i got the unlock when it was beetle guard then beetle kin in a trial
you just needed to stand on the tp to avoid being hit by anything
gameplay look choppy and different? have to cap it at 60fps ingame for merc (or pretty much anything) to work properly. audio sound bad? not sure what's up with that but nothing i can do about it. game look different? yeah
leaderboard also doesn't work, but at least achievements still unlock. button is green now. would really prefer not to have...
Ya I just recently started to be able to play again and have missed some of the easy ones I just can't seem to get the way mercenary moves down never really been my character
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
Oh shit glass trial
GLASS TRIAL
With the ahoy no less
I finally got the damn move, what a good prismatic trial
Mine was the same stage and bosses but different crystal and tp locations is that because I'm using mods lol
Loader after 1 time crystal
Ong bruh
numba 22
dont mean loader isnt good on glass
Yeah, ive just had better times with void fiend
@fervent forge
oh hey, thats me at the bottom
nice
Watch Risk of Rain 2 and millions of other Risk of Rain 2 videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
hello everyone i was wondering on how to get prismatic trials so just a quick guide would be apricated
you dont need to get them they should in alternate gamemodes in the main menu
all i have is eclips and simulacrum
modded game
yea no mods
ah ok thanks for your help
no real threats this trial just boss has a million hp so takes a while
@empty rover
Top 20 so far we swaggin
Last seed was definitely the perfect time to get that no hit mercenary achievement
run with silly
strat: https://youtu.be/AsGNFugAdVc
oooh, love the application of forced noaircontrol off of the fountain
I don't think that this is Engi WR, but it's probably somewhat close
iirc there was some glass + vase trial that was faster
11/11 1:11.1 is crazy

Truly risk of rain moment
@empty rover
Where is my cabbage.mp4
lol he got an aspect
HEHE
cabage
wow i thought people used loader to top the prismatic trials
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
still no
What did happen to this game? And i don't press space but character still floating on the air??
You might have the setting turned on that makes the jetpack turn on and off by pressing and pressing again instead of holding
aah yeah as an old player i don't used to play like this
thanks, i think there is an update about this future
Nah.. i thought twice, i gave up. I'm not going to start the game again. Maybe in the future when i get a new computer
man
i remembered to do the trial like 45 minutes ago
got a pretty okay time but was bottlenecked by the dunestrider's move where it goes up in the air
main damage from band so it would sometimes just get out of its radius and not take the full damage so i had to reset a bunch of times
hey, i am going for ethereal merc achievement on today's prismatic trial and noticed that both chance doll and recycler are in the first area. i am curious if anyone knows if chance dolled shrine drops and recycled items are consistent across attempts and if recycled items from a printer are also consistent (given the same loadouts, is the same item lost to the same printer? and if you recycle the printed item, will it always be the same?)
@empty rover
yes but it's complicated you can get ceremonial dagger on 3rd recycle
i bet not a lot of people knew that if you use the artifact to get a key you get a box on the 1st stage
@empty rover
recommended build for this prismatic trial? I'm trying to unlock scythe
I don't have any dlc unfortunately
u can do cap run
its ez if u have diablo strike
oh lol I don't have many unlocks, I'm still new. I just want scythe real bad
will run soon
yo the real cap was here
Ruddy
Im gonna lose
theres only the one called “Cap” has the power to fight back
just like watching the “captain” character Major competition
chef?
LOL
Chef chef
Is todays prismatic good for ethereal?
ye
@mellow crypt
that one was the old one
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
@solemn fiber
I am faster than he
I just take longer to notice cus I have to manually check every few days
Tilt gets pinged
Would.
For what? The girl or the cabbage?
the fork
The driftveil city music
The cabbage
just use the sawmerang or something idk
Will tilted or vulfoof strike first
5 lunar coins on tilted
@empty rover
It was 2am for me
pay up you lost
I have to check every few days manually
Tilted gets pinged
sorry for audio issue, usually i just re-record but i didn't feel like doing this again
how is it december already, feel like the year just started
@solemn fiber
Yea every few months or so someone tries doing Vulf's job but they usually stop after a few days
@empty rover
also a few extra trials are still pinned
yeh
