*it features 2 random stages and a random set of artifacts
It also gives you the harvester scythe if you beat one
ohhh i did it once scricyly for harvester scythe when prismatic trials dropped. i rember
Finally got ethereal for the first time! I doubt this was the easiest seed to play off, but it was very straightforward to complete and super rewarding to get it done <3
hell yeah, ggs
I did it on the one with kin and beetles on both stages
Same
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
why is the chimera spawning on top of the cliff
wasn’t there in the video im confused
guess im fucked
how r all the gups killed hitless i don't have the expansion nor do i play much merc so idk what is even happening there😭
You have access to the dlcs for free in prismatic trials, merc's R or special skill has iframes so try to take advantage of that to damage them or get out and i use his dash for escaping and damaging
The moment you start the teleporter, go to the chest in the video and time it right so it doesn't get locked and once you opened the chest at the right time (1 or 2 seconds before the gups spawn)
The fireworks should lock on to the gups
when you activate the teleporter at stage 2, kill at least 1 wisp and wait for the ceremonial daggers to do their thing while you hide
It's been on and off spawning. just gotta get lucky. Or you can 1 shot it too.
thanks a bunch <3
take the green portal for some fun
@empty rover
Cabbage is a complete bro
we have a situation on stage 1
Are there any shurikens or ranged equipments on the stage? that would be the only feasible way to clear this, right?
artifact of sacrifice lol
sorry for crunchy audio near the end, audio encoder failed & i didn't really wanna redo a 10 minute trial
usually void seed on stage 1 is impossible, but this new stage from the dlc is messed up somehow (to nobody's surprise) and the nightmare situation of teleporter in a void seed stage 1 finally happened (on stage 2 you can just take a blue p...
Ohhh yeah for the secondary special
@empty rover
Cabbage being absolutely goated once again
Wait wtf overloading magma worm exists in this game separate from overloading worm?
yes it's a separate boss entirely
hence why
exists
There any chest location mod?
still haven't found one on this trial
my OBS recording broke so this is clipped with the steam video thing. the quality's not even that bad surprisingly
@empty rover
You have to eat all the cabbage.
Do prismatic trails make it so elite magma worms can just spawn?
Probably
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
"... and his brother loved worms"
Do you fellow enjoy getting healed on crit?
I do if im playing risky rain returns
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
how do you stop the void barnacles from attacking you and extra stone golems from spawning during the halcyon shrine?
there's only like 1 barnacle and interact with shrine asap when it reaches 1st threshold
alright
funny clip
get halcyonite’d
@empty rover
its always fun seeing the 12 thousand people watching cabbage
How do u find the list
Is it on ps or only steam
idk im not on play station
Ur not very helpful
???? i dont have a play station bro
i was gonna say "then why did u respond" but i realized he directly asked you so
ping me when a good glass prismatic trial comes up... i need the merc...
decent time, prob not going to improve it though
because mul-t is the goat
Idk if anyone’s gonna remember to do that but if you want a way to check if a trial is easy or not, i’d recommend subbing to cabbage on yt (with notifs on, in place of a discord ping)
https://m.youtube.com/@Cabbage123
rn its glass and command
I stand corrected
start with 50$ and random stage order
dissonance, so random enemies
other 2 dont matter
uh oh
its fine its just 1 clay dunestrider then some clay templars for second boss
what items would u recommend i get
im not very good at the game in general so
idk i dont really get items on glass trials
here ima just do the challenge rq then send vid
actually gonna be kinda hard cuz the dunestrider pull move
getting my ass kicked instantly by blind pests
i dont think i can do it
fucking hell
theres pests both in roost AND delta
even jellyfish take me out of 100% health man
yeah i cant fucking do this
barnacles, dunestrider, jellyfish, fucking BLIND PESTS
hi cab
Barnacles?
void barnacles
Didnt see any
god if only i knew to do half of the things as mercenary
spin at a slope u fly in air
yes, my only problem is that i cant press the buttons fast enough
i try to get a watch and then im dead because a blind pest
suppose ill just have to wait for glass kin beetles or some shit like that
yeah cant do it with blind pests
gave up 💔
kill the pest
yeah i cant do it
ill wait for an easier trial
my first few tries were better cuz i took visions of heresy from lunar pod but i dont feel like wasting 1 lunar coin per failed run
crazy
@empty rover
if you want it to be 100% free just get fireworks
@stoic hamlet
decent time, prob not going to improve it though
I finally got my merc achievement with yesterdays trial.
how
dude im so bad at mercenary its unreal
i genuinely cant even avoid jellyfish
jesus christ
the templars took out my achievement instantly
thats great
god fucking damn it
i fucking hate everything man
what the FUCK do i do here
how the fuck do i even use preon it never goes where i want it to go
it just completely missed the templar AGAIN and i got killed because 4 blind pests spawned on top of me
dude i fucking hate this shit
it just has a delay
this fucking sucks
it always goes where you look
ive lost like 20 lunar coins to this shit
im so done man
ITG FUCKING GOES COMPLETELY WIDE
finally got the fucking preon right
this was hellish
fucking grim honestly
Couldn't agree more with you
Any tips to achieve it besides the guide videos? :c
It's a high contrast that the other achievements are relatively easy to get in one play and this one depends on how awful the prismatic trial will be
I swear I have EVERYTHING unlocked except that Mercenary ability
Even False Son's new abilities are more accessible to get
what I did is get a bunch of fireworks and most importantly VISIONS of heresy
you can take out 3 time crystal without having to move that much with visions
then I got a disposable missile launcher and I used it on the clay dunestrider along visions of heresy
it should be dead like instantly
then I got another equipment barrel for preon accumulator to use in Rally's tele to deal most of the damage to the templars
Why are u buying lunar
because visions of heresy is good for not taking damage as merc
dodge
What should I look for to get the mercenary challenge done for not falling below 100% health
Cabbage on youtube :)
i love you so much this helped me get mercenaries special
awh I'm so glad let's be friends
steam 💔
how the hell did someone get 6 seconds on that
take a wild guess
cabbage thank you for helping me get slicing winds
guys is 1:47.68 good
i've been playing PT for like 20min so i don't have a picture of good times
around 1 minute is fine probably haven't tried
Finally got it, the squid carried me
alright i dont think im getting better then my 1:21.10 🤣
im done on this one for now
@empty rover it's cabbage time
hell yeah
How are you one shotting the first crystal there? Am I just bad at expose storage
The answer was yes I got the achievement
Thank you Lord Cabbage
Personally I went for the AP rounds next to the spawn point
what is a prismatic trial
Prismatic trials are an alternate gamemode where you compete against other players attempting to beat two stages as fast as possible! So that you don’t have to sit in a circle, defeating the boss instantly completes the teleporter event. However, before you can activate the teleporter, you must first destroy 3 of 5 crystals which spawn randomly throughout each stage. Trails are seeded, so every run will be the same, except for critical strikes and procs, which are still rolled on a per hit basis (sadly). Once you’ve completed your run, your score will be submitted to a live leaderboard which shows the username and times of all people within 10 spaces of you.
and resets every 3 days
copied the typo too

prismatic trials are cabbage.
<@&559786374228738069>
got a silly guy over here
It's also in #ror2-console-discussion
Thank ya!
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover hello moderator
@fleet crow hello cyber-penis innuendo
is there a specific trick to boss skipping w spiked fist or is it just brute force
I'm him.
Thats uhh... what
"third leg"
.
It actually just refers to one of Pilot's prosthetic legs
He has had 4 in total, the two biological ones and the two replacement cybernetic ones
yeah it's some stupid bit the vc peeps were doing i think
where they were all named after different survivor body parts
I'M HIM
AYO
chef
why so many mercenary
Cabbage you're gonna make me cry man
people like merc I suppose
bromando
chef ?
This prismatic is certainly something on Chef
most, not me
apparently you can just skip killing the third crystal in this prismatic with a preon
@empty rover guess what
is there a site that displays the full leaderboard?
merc go fast
cap already said it, but people like to cheat using merc as well.
no unfortunately
just gotta get to the top
merc just does not go fast lol
THE WEIRD THING ON HER CHEST LOOKS LIKE EYES AND A BEARD
Wait I want to download that how would I do that
nice start to the trial 1:27.17, ill take it 🤣
got it down to a 1:22.92. i know by the time i get back on tomorrow someone will have destroyed that time but ill take this 1st place while i can 🤣
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover who up prismating they trials rn
lol i came here to ask for help get the mercenary ethereal achievement but then i found the video right there and jesus im bad at this game it took me a handful of tries even with the tutorial and i dont even think my rage was worth the ability it unlocked, but maybe i was just use to the first one idunno
just felt like i needed to share my pain
Well ya did it so congrats
how do you activate the preon without using it??
nevermind
ggs finally did it
Is today a good day to try to get slicing whirlwind from the merc
@zenith plinth watch this vid if you want to decide for yourself
I’ll say tho that glass + command is a really beneficial set of artifacts for ethereal
How does this guy have a blue nametag?
Would the speedrunners say new Seeker could get fastest time?
I tried but she is not as viable as Loader or something
imo
color codes within the username on steam
Hey I also know that guy!
i think a 1:10.57 is my cap for this one 🤣
i gonna try and get sub 1:10 but idk lol
Do you have any tips? Ive just been using huntress and blink spamming but idk if its enough
thats what im doing
i get the purity and fuelcell from the chest right behind where you start after killing the crystals in front of you
then i blink spam to the equipment barrel but the way to said barrel i kill the third crystal
get a preon from the equipment barrel then you should be golden as long as you become used to where the crystals are on the second stage
On one hand I’m happy for you on the other I wanna cry in the fetal position
Wait thats smart
What i did was got 2 purity and backup mag so i can insta kill the beetle guards then the lemurians r also no issue with it
But i only got 1:41 so ill try looking at equips too
A win is a win
This merc trail - take no damage to unlock his stuff, is driving me insane 😭
Does anyone have any tips for it
his name starts with c and rhymes with abbage
what
I'm still trying. Does any have any tips for item selection? And if I should worry about getting items or should I run straight for breaking the crystals, then teleporter, then maybe items since spawns stop when it's done charging? I need advice
(I'm New)
I've got the Mercinary class and I'm trying to get the new ability that you get from beating the prismatic trial without taking damage. I got really close last seed but this new one I can't find chests, only the egg that sacrifices an item but I can't find any. Any advice?
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
cabbage you dont get enough thanks for what you do for people. Thank you for your service.
@empty rover it is
For real Cabbage is the only thing pushing me forward, I thank you from the bottom of my soul.
mercenary ethereal unironically has me about to rage quit ror as a whole
always check cabbage to see a good day
this sawmerang is easy since all you have to do is fuel cell
well i wont get number 1 because its a commando cheater but ill take number 2
railgunner go brrr XD
how down bad do you have to be to cheat in prismatic trials?
@empty rover
i have no idea but they dont have any care in the world at all
its not like they get any rewards out of it
a bit ago, but the game took some of my data away, making me need to do this a second time, so here's the second time i got it lol
Niiice
Just did this achievement on xbox, actually painful abomination
Ran purities so i just dashed until i won
awesomesauce
This trial is cursed:https://youtu.be/JDX0e7zbieg
has double-shot tech, unironic sword-and-shield loadout, and item duplication with the new artifact
Gearbox should make Prismatic Trials live service and give Cabbage the ability to ban people
No more cheaters
sick tech tho
Just used a similar mul-T load-out with scrap launcher in place of power saw in an eclipse run and got the fastest Mithrix kill I’ve ever had
Got lucky with getting a luminous shot and 4 polylutes
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover pin of the garden variety
Garden fresh
I don't think I'll ever get Swinds I'm struggling to make it more than like 15 second
that's not a lot of second
My peak isn't very many second either
my prismatic trial was mostly the same as that one, but had a blazing imp lord, or whatever it's called
not the horde of many
maybe next one is easier
maybe i should actually try learning merc first
I understand why we can't have mods active, due to the leaderboard
but I am dying without autosprint tbh
there are 40 lemurians
i think this is a "go next" one
If you get the clone equipment, it becomes possible
i am trying, almost close
oh is there one?
I found an atg, a teddy bear, and a slug iirc
it's also pretty disorienting to have to learn the DLC as well
i managed to finish the prismatic (not the achievement) on the first try, but now i cant even beat stage 1
i just get overwhelmed by all the lemurians and projectiles and die
should i be using alternate skills?
I'll try to complete the achievement and tell you
I did it with the default skills
There are some rngs that can get in the way, but in a few tries you can do.

@woeful wolf
if you want to try my method
The red item is IDP if anyone was wondering
@empty rover guess what time it is
god bless you cabbage tysm
its pride month cabbage
but no changes cus shes already gay
@fallow bramble almost did it but took 3 damage somewhere and we didn’t notice. That was crushing 
;-;
Oh Kin gives Lems and Alpha Constructs
that's unfortunate
When I got Ethereal it was a Kin trial but it gave Beetles and Beetles
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover are tilted because you hat or are you hat the tilt hat because you the hat
🔥
Yeh
So far the boss is the hardest part of this
sorry to hear
It's pretty tough, wisps keep hitting me before I have enough time to get both item drops from chance shrine
Is it a skill issue or am I cooked
yea
I am infact cooked
@empty rover cabg
😏
I'm losing my shit trying to do the merc challenge
Give us a glass please I’m begging
Why does he have a soon, is she stupid?
same
making wisps and bombs come out of dead enemies on a glass run is kinda nuts
praying the cabbage video isn’t too complicated
walk in a straight line and the lemurian won't hit you
if a wisp is about to shoot you, move out of the way
#650
My birthday was yesterday 🎉
Also 6/9
gg
@empty rover 6/9
scale of 1-10 how hard is ethereal on this trial (relative to other trials)?
i hate wisps !!
christ after watching that video and it being only a 2 Im scared
Only a few are actually impossible
I mean I get that, but the amount of stuff you gotta chain together still looks like a lot
what stuff in the video would need to be replicated exactly instead of just loosely?
how much harder is stage 2 than 1? cause I’m already struggling with 1 (wisps and stone titans are def the stage 1 enemy and boss I struggle the most with)
happy late birthday cabbage fellow

can anyone give some tips on the best way to do the crab fight? I can follow along with most of the guide, but the crab fight looks like a mix of tech skill and improv Im not sure I can pull off
from the video (image is from the video), for the last 3 crabs with the expose transfer spin into eviscerate, would it be safer to wait for evis or dash to come off cooldown so I wouldnt have to nail the expose spin, or is there something in the trial that prevents that?
ok nvm stone titan is fcking me up too anyone got tips?
its moreso the wisps during the fight, but yeah
actually, how rng-dependent is this one?
are glass trials usually this hard?
glass trials are inherently way easier
you're supposed to be hitless
it's more about the seed and other artifacts
I mean I get that, but are all glass trials this difficult? the combo of swarms, spite, and soul are kicking my ass in stage 1
glass isn't responsible for that to my knowledge
it's just bad rng
soul is a horrible artifact
spite isn't as bad but it's pretty shitty imo
but like, do most glass trials have some other bs mixed in
cause I can wait for another glass trial, but if theyre not any easier imma struggle
no, that's what im saying. there are always other artifacts but glass takes up a slot and thus actually means less bullshit in total
are the other artifacts and stages usually this bad?
Yeah
but like even glass ones?
Only time I ever had a chance was artifact of kin with two thousand lemurians on aphelian sanctuary
It was chaos so the tp ones kept killing themselves
thats based
i need that seed
it was before sotv so there's no way it would still work
Swinds feels impossible, my furthest attempt was literally to the boss and that's about it
I've been trying this bullshit for 9 days I might just have to never get swinds
Soul has a Providence icon and Soul is dogshit so it is lore accurate
Stay strong and maintain the dream you'll get there 💪
There’s a double kin beetle command that i got after the release of sots, hopefully that one comes up before the next dlc
With glass
Just something to look out for
that’d be the dream
for now I’ll probably just watch every time cabbage drops and decide whether or not I have a chance based on how hard it looks
how do you not get cooked by wisps on this seed
how difficult is today's seed on a scale of 1 to 10
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
#651
I got myself a car now 🎉
@empty rover
tbh this does look easier than last one, but I still feel like itd take me a few hours minimum
HACLYONITE HORDE OF MANY?? WHY DID IT DO THAT 😭
i wonder if it's a mod i have
ohh maybe it's because i took too long and credits were weird
by using a mod that lets me play pris trials with mods
(disables scoreboard though)
@empty rover
Risk of Rain 2 - Prismatic Trial 6/18/25 - Mercenary Ethereal Achievement
@empty rover hi
Man the dunestrider fight is so hard 😭
i dont get how you dont get hit during that he targets me instead of goobo and when he's low he drains me how doesnt he drain you
It won't leech you if you're far away from it as it prepares the attack
Not even going to attempt that trial.... Not in the mood to deal with an overloading teapot
Glad it wasn't just me lmao
I tried several times and got so close a couple times but the dunestrider is just too hard
scork worm
3:08 is perfectly safe and nothing can go wrong
@empty rover
I'm the biggest fan of this prismatic trial as it has the entire horde of artifacts yet none of them is kin for actually allowing to do that mercenary achievement
this trial is easy since all you have to do is Glacial Wandering Vagrant
@empty rover who up pinning they trials rn
so uh what the hell do you do in prismatic trials?
Prismatic trials are an alternate gamemode where you compete against other players attempting to beat two stages as fast as possible! So that you don’t have to sit in a circle, defeating the boss instantly completes the teleporter event. However, before you can activate the teleporter, you must first destroy 3 of 5 crystals which spawn randomly throughout each stage.

also Tilted you've left a couple trials pinned that aren't supposed to be
same, the wisps and lemurians always get me
i dont think ive ever been so frustrated at something
honestly i dont think ill be able to pull off glass
i got it on ps for some god forsaken reason but i cant get it on pc ;-;
I struggle with this challenge every time lol. I've attempted many but haven't gotten mercs challenge yet
And harvester’s scythe
It sucks that trials take 3 days because i have to wait for the chance at a better trial 😔
hopefully one with no soul, its annoying
also jellyfish has the annoying aoe attack
just do literally anything and win idk
@empty rover gettin pinny with it
(also there's a couple of them left pinned that aren't supposed to be)
@warped mulch this is the one
Thanks cabbage. Finally got it done though I had to wait for an easy one. First try with your guide lol
Figured i would ping you too since you made a comment a few days ago. This was one of the easiest trials I've come across so if you still need ethereal, this would be the one
No kin but command and glass and cabbage's video is perfect for doing it quickly
also, prop to the squid turrets, any chest I found on the first stage had green items so I picked up a squid turret on the way. I'm a bad gamer but the turrets helped keep things out of my face and I finally got the challenge too
I just saw the cabbage video im about to attempt
it looks so promising
good work
i forgot there was friendly fire and struck something with capacitor and killed myself lmaoo
cause i was too close
omg i just did it again
I just did it LETS GOOO
Yoooo
Lmfao
It was definitely an easy trial but cabbage consistently uploading these guides is pretty high caliber gaming
does cabbage ever use the alt abilities?
thank god i finally got slicing winds
nope
makes it both easier for new players to get it done
and for him to stay consistent with his setup
yeah, which makes it honestly really cool
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
thank you for the guide yesterday cabbage 
@empty rover it is time
They are fun if you like the routing/speedrun aspect that it introduced
most people insta hate the trials because they were challenged by the slicing winds unlock but you just gotta give it a chance and challenge yourself
i managed to do it
thank you discord user @cyan stratus for showing me the way
ok but where is it going?
you can get to prime meridian and fight false son if you go through the green portal lmao
@empty rover
how the hell do you go under 1:00:00 in today's prismatic trial?
i cannot go under 1:01:00
mult t
mult t
BALATRO REF
mult t
retool
only 3rd place when is 1st?
1 core
ngl, trials where I’m not forced to use mercenary sound pretty cool
I got slicing winds 🥹
sub 40 doable but not enough time left + can't be bothered
i forgot my bolstering lantern (don't be like me)
@empty rover
it’d be kinda funny if there was someone who just went “do this one” or “don’t do this one” every time a new trial came out
do this one: has glass, command, or good kin
don't do this one: anything else
Hello, is there a “best loadout” for mercenary in prismatic trials?
What does he get iframes on?
both utilities and eviscerate
Oh cool, thank you
np! :)
free merc today
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
Gah damn that's a spicy one
Anyone got any tips for prismatic trials??
try and get ethereal on this one if you dont have it, the first stage is good for it, i just have to figure out how to deal with the imps on second stage
Ok
Would grabbing some Blood vials work??
To increase health??
They will only increase your max health by up to 10 each
So they are useless...
Basically
Stacking a bunch of thougher times??
Topaz allows you to take a few hits as lobg as you stay above 100% health
Tougher times can also save you
Cannot verify this but I'm pretty sure it still works this way
Thougher times, get its corrupted version, and start stacking battery cells and the lunar that auto-activates the active itme
Plus the active to remove debuffs
It should perma enable the corrupted bear
i think a hardlight afterburner would work to get enough mobility to avoid and keep auto killing everything
but idk if a red spawns
cause for whites i only got crowbars
and got 3 ninjastars for red
to give mercenary ranged
and for the rest of green
got guillotine to help deal with the elites that spawn as bosses
but i have not looted stage 2 at all on any of my runs yet
a think a topaz is def smart ima try one, maybe two on my next run
Gl
TY
so i think optimal build is 4crowbar, 3shuriken, 2topaz, 2, old guilitine, 2gasoline, 1ingnition tank
as a base, i hhavent fully got to loot 2nd stage to see all drops
but maybe add a goat hoof for extra mobility
maybe a personal sheild gen
rn im just having skill issue
so if someone better would try and see if the build is good, thatd be amazing 🫡
I'm trying these items
Wait, actually, wouldn't energy drink be better than goat hoof??
Wait actually
I tried artificer, and got 5 dolls. an ignition tank, 3 energy drink, 3 soldier's syringe and a cubed blackhole (or whatever it's name is)
I keep dying to the elite spawned from the green pillar
That might be the strat
Ok, Royal Capacitor works better than primordial cube
you did what
I changed items a bit
5 dolls, 1/2 ignition tanks, 4 energy drinks, 4 pocket watches and 1 hopoo feather
But got to stage 2 and since I took to much time, I don't have imps but worms
It's working for now
These on stage 1, I got to stage 2 and managed to break the watches, gotta stack them again
I've beaten stage 2
Ranked 1342
Massive
just got ethereal
Cool
I still can't unlock it, I suck at playing Mercenary (or even False Son for all that matters)
i got the drone equipmetn and saved it for the teleporter event
with another crowbar you oneshot non elites with shuriken from p[rimary
just spam shift
idk
Who unlocked merc special without artifact of command?
Some seeds are really easy
this is actually deranged. how tf did you do that
with crowbars and shuriken, i could oneshot any non-elite from any range
and the drone equpment helped with the tp event
you can trigger shurikans with mercc??
they work by activating primary
🫡
cause both stages dont have ranged enemies
it makes it ideal for merc, in my opinion
i got my cheeks clapped
it makes sense honestly
i could like try and record my route if you want
what attacks? i just use default other than for secondary, cause that gives max mobility (in my eyes, idk if actually)
oh no im fine thanks for the offer thought
i have m2 and shift on the alts, im just walking into them continuously
the shuriken approach has it so that i can ACTUALLY engage with them lmao
shift on the default was like essential for me, to just spam go through them
i was hoping to find an afterburner to be able to center the build on that
ill try that
gl
your wisdom astounds me 🙏
Dose anyone have false son or can help me get him its begging to drive me crazy
worng channel??
but i can do one run rq to try, cant vc tho
number 2 (for now) on the new leaderboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nvm, bro bro left 😭
insane matchup (never seen before) make sure to comment who you think wins before watching to the end
stage 1 is boring and surely not hard or anything
wow the huntress and merc are so fast! good for them
@empty rover
woah they’re so good at risk of rain 2
Should get them into the races!
i vouch
😭 what how youre actually crazy
just do the thing and win idk
@empty rover how are you on this fine day
playing an eldritch fishing card game
dude you're actually fucking crazy
holy shit lmao
The humble glowing ATG-shaped object
0:58 is so fucking crazy.
Didnt panic like last time too
I do fucking wonder how first place did it in 10 seconds less cause thats a bit absurd
You can assume they're a cheater. There will always be huntress/merc cheaters at the topish
good pace ruined by spamming shift :|
im raging trying to get anything faster than this tbch
stage 2 is annoying, i dont wich route to take
is there any tip for doing todays hitless with mercenary
replay it for a while
if a ranged enemy shoots at you, move out of the way
well it's alot of wisps and blind
and I'm not a seasoned pro with this game lol
I just barely got platinum on psn
i killed false son :\
idk if the other 2 abilitys mercenary gets are better then his base kit for this
@tame shuttle do you mind if I ask how much hours you have on ror2?
That was so cool to watch
u can look at my profile :| i have like 2.5 k give or take
Dangggg
I'm getting there
I only got hit once
it's the first teleporter I keep dying or getting hit out of my dashes
I GOT IT
after 27 trys
:D
Huh cheating how
That sucks 😦 It was a good run too
Can still probably drop 2-3 seconds not flying so high on stage 2, does make the shot on the 2nd crystal harder though
Are you gonna retry it again though - sounded pretty done lmao
Would rather wait for the next one
😭 rip
This most recent trial has me banging my head against the wall
Art of glass with mercenary is torture
The wisps too
@empty rover
Idk why but it feels like the last 3 trials were made to turn Merc mains suicidal
best I got so far
Whats so good about prismatic Trials?
Prismatic trials are an alternate gamemode where you compete against other players attempting to beat two stages as fast as possible! So that you don’t have to sit in a circle, defeating the boss instantly completes the teleporter event. However, before you can activate the teleporter, you must first destroy 3 of 5 crystals which spawn randomly throughout each stage. Trails are seeded, so every run will be the same, except for critical strikes and procs, which are still rolled on a per hit basis (sadly). Once you’ve completed your run, your score will be submitted to a live leaderboard which shows the username and times of all people within 10 spaces of you.
So, i was looking forward to do the merc challenge, how is this trial going for that?
what
My bad
ok
this trial is easy because all you have to do is get hit
What the THIS GUY IS IN THE FUTURE
@empty rover
OO AHAHA
figured it out
Have to go for the drone first
So that way it can kill some and I get get more hp
ITS A GREAT IDEA
I've pretty much just accepted that I'll never get the Prismatic Trail unlock for the Merc and I'm okay with it, that can be the one achievement that got away from me and the only thing preventing me from 100% the game.
how do I unlock prismatic trials
they are unlocked by default, but their menu is inaccessible if you have mods
where
"Alternate Gamemodes" menu
Alr ty
this me. i wouldnt even unlock scythe because i dont deserve it
Yep same
Scythe?
harvester scythe i think
It’s a skin?
its an item/ green rarity/ life steal on crit
very proud
Does transcendence not count as being above 100% health? Because it just changes the value and doesnt damage you?
Shield does not work for either of the "Don't go below 100% Health" Achievements
barrier works, though
I hate how this mf Cabbage makes this trial look so easy and I'm over here losing my absolute fucking mind at it for the last HOUR
I'm going to bed. Wake me up when an easier trial comes around
There goes my master plan
Y’all don’t give up! Finally got it today after tons of frustrating attempts. There’s a lunar pod by spawn that I got visions of heresy from. Then use the chance shrine to get topaz brooches. Then open the rest of chests. Get 4 brooches and then get watches and ukuleles for the rest.
Getting pass stage one is still hard
killing the boss while not getting hit, i cant even make it to the 2nd crystal without getting tap in the back..
I was actually thinking about using that pod to get Glass so I can use Topaz easier without worrying about damage.
Would visions actually be better tho or should I go glass?
I did it. Thank you for telling me about Visions
this achievement is fun because it create a community around how annoying it is
imagine a challenge that is challenging
if there are no fans of hopoos achievement design then I am dead. mercenary ethereal and demon and the crabs are fun
I don't mind if a challenge is difficult, but when most of the challenge revolves around waiting to get a good seed on a specific game mode, it's a bit much imo.
Could argue that every Trial is designed to have Ethereal be possible (idk if that's true btw) but even if it is, some trials are much harder than others and not everyone has the same skill level.
devotion eggs stack infinite light during/after tp & lag the game a bunch, so hardware dependent trial (intended feature). didn't buy many lemurians s2 since they can distract titan
10 minute long video, definitely not this one then
@empty rover
so close to the hell number
channel is just cabbage show case
yuh
wanted to share a clip from recent game, hope this channel is fine xd

i'm like 95% sure if i click that i'm losing my discord account
Tested it in another server, it’s safe
tested it in another server, my testicles blew up
no role
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover who up tilting they hat
I’m having a lot of trouble with the new prismatic trail
I’m a new player for reference
same
Whoa :O
can also just kill the titan manually but with gunner turret strat can literally afk
@empty rover
#667
uhm yeah no, hopefully next rotation is more friendly :((
i just wanna cosplay as a swordsman fr
@tawdry gulch
Ooh
interesting board so far lol
sigma the sigma rizz carrying the loader name
Horrendous name bro
We should be able to inspect leaderboard steam profiles
me
is merc ethereal hard this trial ?
I’m at 148/149 achievements ._. missing ethereal
Idk lmao
.you just gotta get lucky tbh
I remember I got my ethereal because I got double beetle kin artifacts
Yea
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
thanks cabbage!
Congrats
this prismatic trial seed is horrible
It’s not too bad you just have to survive the halcyon shrine and then you basically just win
should i wait to do it another day?
console player here. cannot stop shrine early (prompt doesn’t exist).
did u get the two barrels of gold to keep it going without killing anything?
I did. After a few more runs. i noticed it’s inconsistent with how full it needs to be.
might just be a console thing
Does anyone have tips for this prismatic trial i can't do it at all
I see command. I click
nvm this shits too hard I’m done bruh
idk how to not get hit during the halcyon shrine
It's luck.
I reccomend waiting for the artifact of kin,
Don't quit out if you didn't no hit it, learn the two stages
HELL YEAH (02:57) (For anyone looking for a humanly doable route, do what cabbage did below, but just much slower and go around the tower instead of jumping over it. You'll also get blazing beetle queen, if you get there after 2:45(?))
the bounce around the void seed is WILD
@empty rover
Got it! I, a mere mortal, went around the void seed tower and still had no problem getting to the boss
got ethereal too, cabbage is the GOAT
HOLY NOKY THANK YOU CABAGE YOU’RE A TRUE GOAT
I DID IT, FINALLY
Cabbage is the goat fr fr
thank you cabbage we all say in unison
Is the prismatic trail good today gng
yeah just watch the cabbage vid
thank you cabbage
W cabbage
I might have to try it today, as always thanks cabbage

@empty rover
Are Prismatic trials always this ridiculous?
It's luck
Imo the best scenario for prismatic is either glass or kin
And probably command
just get kin beetles s1 and 2
im almost certain commando at rank1 cheats (RMB can go through textures so with perfect precision you can rush tp while shooting walls 'n' ground for crystals) can this be investigated or it doesn't matter xd
if anything but loader is in first it's usually cheated
well in this one loader unalives himself with crystal explosion dmg so we can actually have some variety fun
alright there are now huntresses that have beaten that commando so i guess i take back my noclipipping shots claim
Loader has quite a few ways to work around the crystal explosion damage
Thunderslam, alt Utility, alt Secondary tech
Also Commando's default Secondary clipping through terrain is intended.
And if Huntress is in first place, then that's almost always a cheater
oh i didn't mean is not it would just be pretty handy if some1 could autoaim with it
when commando have beaten my 1:40 huntress clear i tried to guess how they did it and came up with that explanation but well now there's huntresses and all sorts of people
that are faster
Given how many times people attempt and reattempt and reattempt, etc
It's not unbelievable that they have the shot locations + angles memorized
nah but he would have to just leg it towards tp while flicking on CD without aim to pass 1st stage in 30s (im assuming that's what it takes +/- to get 1:07)
but idk. would be cool to see VODs
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
i dont. know what this 6 7 thing is about
I feel today's trial run is probably the best one you can get to do the challenge
Most definitely, I did it after 2-3 tries? I didn't even see that cabbage had uploaded so 2-3 w/o a guide is pretty good
My friend has been going at it but he hates the wisp that spawn so he hasn't had much luck but he is about to try again
Best bet is grab the gasoline at the two triple items and take out all the beetles & wisps in two hits
Yaa
@empty rover
is this suppose to be funny?
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
Tbh I dislike that pc and console prismatic trials are different (from want I've experienced)
Do say if Im wrong about that but I'm sure they'd re different
NEVERMIND!!
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover it's cabbagedtime
waiting room for this prismatic trial! surely this is when i get my merc achiev!
you got this!
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover egabbac
The one time I get back into ror2 the trial is miserable 😭
the only trial I've done was the one for the merc achievement
wish but replace the h with a p
@empty rover cabb
Anya want peanut!
which one is the current tprismatic trial
Cabbage genuinely how do you do it
how original
don't need any of the items except tricorn just got them to go faster
@empty rover le cabbage
Dual wielding blickies
tthanks for the route
i went under
and thanks for the tricks
sorry im so sudden
il send the clip just give me a sec
also great damageless run
idk why its not embeding im sorry but uits what i have
but for now
its time for sleep
also i didnt edit the end of the clip so im sorry
this is the one mode i've not really delved into more than 1 hour so far.
Idk the adrenaline rush of top 10 the other day has fed me into a loop of must get better and faster
Does anyone know the route? For 1:08i mean
Am I high
?
What did I just watch
Ok
That's all you really need to know
