but i suck at the game
i wanted to be good at that game and now im probably leaving that game
Is there anyone out here that can guide me to getting the command artifact
Died to a beetle and a time crystal before getting a good shield hit that doesnt kill me
where did you find the blue item
the shop
first stage is a pain but like it's still half the effort
for 6 coins, needed 2 rerolls
crazy shit
im gonna be stuck at that fuckass unlock for eternity
fuck that shit
OKAY? HALFWAY
my heart is beating so fast rn
FUCKED UP
I CAN DO THIS
halfway again
nice
@empty rover hiiiiii cabbage time cabbage time cabbage time
yippeee eee wahoooo yeahh
Anyone playing the new prismatic?
Are trials without glass rare? I still need to get the harvester but I cannot for the life of me do these one-shot death challenges
finally I did it after a short 1.5 years thank u cabbage
Omg I did it, thank you lord cabbage
unemployed but skilled
unemployed
and uh overweight probably
full time employment actually
not bad for first prismatic
thank you so much, but you see good sir... I suck at this game. I am not a damned ninja with merc
dawg, ive been at this for hours 😭
i like... mastered using moves at the same time as using the third m1... but i still cant beat ts man. how?! I dont wanna wait 66 hous for a new prismatic..
@empty rover i bet you cant guess what time it is
couldn't find a way to make them consistently jump off but can just wait for preon
@empty rover cabbage
yippee
new month new crops
The seed has changed and its no longer Imps on the 2nd stage 🙃
go faster
cabbage, how do you use your utility immediately and not lose your cooldown?
The utility cooldown resets everytime you dash through something with it. Up to three times.
Only for the first utility, not the one you unlock through the challenge.
not the utility, sorry I meant his equipment
because he shot the preon immediately but he had the cool down during tp
any advice for today's
I believe if you use it the literal instant you pick it up, it doesn't put it on coolfown
just get a bunch of barrier and win
@empty rover guess what
Yo I fuckin hate stage one😭
That one rock near the teleporter is the only thing that makes this possible
is this bait
is it working
thats bait for sure
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover you'll never be able to guess why im pinging you
also am i going crazy or is that saying 1/38/26
solus extractor took my focus crystal
@cyan stratus your titles still say 2025 and the date was off on the last one lol
wondering vagrant. what is it wondering about?
ohh wow, is it the shopping request form that is changing your s2 so you can get the preon
yes
oh i didnt even realize you were active in this channel
well i found the answer i was looking for anyways: #prismatic-trials message
thank you cabbage for your good work
radio scanner doesn't spawn anymore
oh ok, good to know
acrid
@empty rover prion acclimator
Holy shit that vagrant EXPLODED
how does the mouth attack do that
you should ping me when replying to my message otherwise i won't see it
mr cabbage, you are a hero
ok
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover those who know
Hi, I'm new to this I just want to see any run above me to see how to do it faster. I'm currently at #10
I forfeit, 1:12 is the best I can without grinding a lot
That was insane. Also using the genesis loop at the end was beautifully done lmao
Did they "fix" the blue + purple portal to advance the stage and win?
Yeah void fields no longer scales the stage
Usually. They'll most likely be huntress or Merc cus the prismatic achievements they have
Also can check the riskofresources discord for more active people sharing their routes and times if you want
finally unlocked slicing winds, the glass+chaos artifacts made it realy easy trial tbh,you dont have to fight the second boss
just the 1
tilted just doesnt tend to remove the older ones
Cleaned it up
Oh yh, I'll check it out, thx
cabbage if you can hear us
CABBAGE MY LIFE IS YOURS
I'm just trying to do it for harvester scythe I'm New BTW
so why are you ignoring the wisps actively shooting at you
idk
soul wisps also despawn after like 10sec so can just wait
cabbage is opening a door, but you have to go through it, uhh i mean cabbage just shows how to do prismatic trial but you need to focus on task just think idk XD
Scroll down a bit
bruh cabbage just did my run for me
i lookedat the celery in the fridge but i just knew.. i gotta trust the cabbage
cabbage my wife left me recently, but you never left my fridge
thank you
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover
Why are they twisted? Are you still tilted or did they straighten you out?
JOY! Did it before watching cabbage, made a plan for it all by myself :D
Figured today would be the best day to get the achievement because of glass artifact
nice
did a run yesterday with railgunner and got a 1:05. No idea how people are getting sub minute times : https://youtu.be/_NmxB_J0VGc
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover cabbage time
this is genuinely so impressive
5
I have no idea how u did that either. I gotta try harder
Pleasant
⚠️ lou d
too many glass trials
@empty rover
thank you, cabbage guy.
-# Small note
-# When i search "Cabbage" you don't show up, but when i search "Prismatic Trials" or "Ror2 Prismatic Trials" You appear
Yoooo ur cabbage guy
🫡
Have u tried to optimize this week's run much? I feel I can shave off another like 10ish seconds on Mul-T if I was like frame perfect
This week's seed is brutal
Zinq is so nasty (good)
no didn't speedrun it
@empty rover
I cant believe this is a real thing, I just unlocked mercenary and looked this achievement up and I feel like I just discovered a new nichola tesla
this is insanity I tried so many things including waiting for the topaz brooch drop completely forgetting that you dont need to charge the teleporter
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover you'll never be able to guess what I'm pinging you for
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
Scream if you love mercenary ethereal achievement
AAAAAAAAAA
What is the best survivor for the current trial??
@empty rover AAAHHHHHH
okay does anyone have advice for TRYING to get the Mercenary: Ethereal achievement on the current prismatic trial
bc I keep hitting walls. if I at least knew what equipment came after the tricorn that'd be helpful in and of itself, but i havent gotten that far
Tried doing what the one video did and um. It Has Not Been Going Well
these damn solus mines
Seriously if anyone has any advice or even knows what comes AFTER the tricorn, please tell me
I don't know if there's some kind of dumb luck I'm missing, a secret tactic, or what, but so far I can only reach the first teleporter and the ice bursts from dying cold elites are being a complete nightmare
i cannot kill the beetle queens and Live, much less Not Take Damage At All
foreign fruit after tricorn
not that useful and p much a slap in the face 😭
get to the uhm
teleporter asap
don't stop for items
you have enough damage as is
I recommend blitzing the first hive queen and then dealing with the second
afterwards dash out of there
just get good rng on solus mines not spawning on u 😭
the fact they have AOE on spawn is so tilting
So about that
they seem to love to blip towards me and even though they come from the exact opposite direction. They STILL set me on fire
I have decided this fucking trial is Not the one I will get this merc achievement on
fuck that I value my skin more than I value sending myself into madness doing thing
LOL looks like I'm not alone in this
@empty rover
(sorry if I’m not meant to do this)
You's good
I got the achievement hell yeah
thanks
Omg, I finally got the challenge completed with this
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
@empty rover 📌
Cabbage is a fascinating executioner
maybe the gunner turret is not a good idea
@empty rover hi
how did you instantly fire the preon accumulator without getting the 140 cooldown?
nevermind i just beat it
Can I one day pass the mercenary succes 💔🥀?
get a bit lucky with gunner turret spawns
lmao i exist
how do I stop getting hit by wisps on this one, its like unavoidable
get more speed or jump at exact moment when they make that sounds when they shot, also priotize them and kill them first
oh wait you mean at this trial or in game generally cause' its prismaric trial channel
specifically on this trial on merc
im also unsure which mobility skill is better for pure safety here
Bout to come and ask how the heck people get the ability unlock for Mercenary
watch the cabbage
The cabbage? Is that a YT channel?
Oh I see
Well that doesn't even seem humanly possible, that was insane
Ill just wait for one that he shows that seems doable
the artifacts you wanna see are: command, glass (you need dmg, not hp) and kin (but its luck dependent)
how many people play the prismatic trials?
i think if they make it so that the top 10% gets rewards it will be more popular
Well what do you mean by rewards
It says that top 10% gets literally nothing for now
Do you mean like skins perhaps
Ye
Yeah that would be fair
But we don’t need more bullshit unlocks that are tied to trials
Because slicing winds is already genuine misery to get
Yeah like a special skin for top 3 and top 10%
Watching jojo right now 🥹
Nice
How many people actually do prismatic trails on the daily tho
Not me
Shit sucks
I see how it could be fun but there isn’t really anything except slicing winds tied to it
Just did one with false son
I don’t know what the standard is but I got 8 minutes
Current one has sacrifice and whatever the doppelgänger one is
no this would overall kinda suck
cheaters are already prevalent and problematic enough
adding an actual incentive would just make it worse
Oh damn
brooch + gasoline makes it easy
Shots
The hell you pinging me for
the trial pin, i thought?
It's already pinned, you don't need me
yeah it kinda just happened
Wait I forgot how long do the trial seeds last?
Don’t have time at the moment but wanna try the new one
3 days?
yeah I'd say like 3-5 of the top runs most prismatics are cheated by the end of stuff sadly
blatantly at that
Well that sucks
Its still fun to just do them to try and get a decent time yourself though 
I like to force Mul-T every week when I have the time and see how well I do
Have been busy this week tho
Routing him when you have changing equipments on is really fun and sometimes actually really good
Otherwise hes just kinda way worse railgunner, but he's still my boy
Oh i just played it 3min after it reset so i got the rank 1 time and took a screenshot and called it a day
is there like a console command to unlock this specific thing only
i dont want to bother doing this its not fun
Realercheatunlocks mod
I'm hating this challenge with a passion of a thousends suns
It's literally that one scene from rick and morty: oh it's going to be a 5 minute thing, go in and done
banger
Yup
Some guy sent me here after i got mercenary what now
read on the Mercenary: Ethereal challenge
Okay
bruh this challenge is difficult
how does he not take damage from the first crystal?
i-frames from the special utility
huh?
merc's default special gives invulnerability frames, i assume it's just the tail end of that
chill bro, it takes time, just wait for the right combinations of artifacts
yeah, glass + swarms makes it pretty free
you really wanna risk 500 wisps?
i did it vs wisps stage 1 mini mushrums stage 2
i did it with glass, and chaos and soul i guess, chaos make the bosses of stage 2 kill it self with friendly fire
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
is there an autopinner now
I no longer get to ping Tilted every 3 days.. this is so sad
Is the new trial easy for ethereal or no?
remember, check artifacts-if there are artifacts like command and glass, and maybe kin, then its gonna be easy trial i guess, with command get
and
, and with glass you do so much dmg you dont even need items
Just naming ourselves anything now are we
takes practice, but just you need to be fast enough so barely anything spawns
It’s horrible
I remember the seed where there were two topaz brooches
I didn’t have time to do it during that one though
Sadly
unlucky, but thats why command and glass are the best
i did it with glass
because there was also chaos, the boss deafeted it self from friendly fire
One bit I always do for prismatic trials is to always play always mercenary because of the prismatically aligned achievement I am entitled to do that
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
Bruh
wtf is that build 😭😭😭😭😭
Bro don't ask me ask the 3d printer
Also you don't see it but I do have a molotov in my equipment slot
Lore Accurate Commando be like
Lend me your super or im FINISHED!!!!!!!
I don't only have
bar i also have

Which is the only thing preventing me from falling asleep
getting his unlocks will make him feel boring tbf, 20 stages on one survivor can make anyone feel boring
I don't mind looping
Like not at all
Plus i won't judge off the unlock run
But the run after it WITH the alt abilities
also this is #prismatic-trials btw
Are you still able to change your internal clock to manipulate the trial the game gives you?
Will confirm this for you in 5 mins
Nope
You cant
@safe compass
Wait so you CAN change the trial?
Yes
Good luck with finding one that aligns with the date though
you can change the trial yes, i can send you the AC list from static if you want, alongside the speedrun guide on how
That'd be wonderful yea, I'm actually inquiring about it for a sirens call start to get an early loader unlock in a 100% run 
ooh i have the perfect trial for you
❤️
10th of october 2020
very good 100% trial

heres the full list for AC
🫡 thank you tons
What other stuff does the seed have btw that's exceptional for 100%?
cleansing pool with both pearls, ability to get all scraps
bunch of early gameish achievements that are kinda annoying, easy merc ethereal
yeah its this one, i guess i have it set as the 10th in my run as date
its the one im gonna do my hundo on whenever i do it
you'll have to test it on your own cuz i kinda forgot what is where but its v good
Kinda off topic but is verifying 100% runs as god awful as it sounds
are you gonna stream it?
Nooooooo this is just a question out of pure curiosity
I meant from a Speedrun mod standpoint
well if you stream it i verify it by watching it live
but if you dont yeah its probably cooked
i'd skim through it a lot to just make sure there isnt any inconsistencies, i dont think 100% runs deserve to be denied lol
if you did the run its impressive enough that problems with the recording probably dont matter as much
like in snek's 100% run, about 5 minutes is just missing because his interenet cut out
Whats the easy ethereal one
None of the ones Google told me were accurate lmao
Tried like 7 and none had glass like they were supposed to. 1 had a tricorn start but stage 2 was brutal
Did you follow the guide for setting it up here? @atomic isle
Is this something you can change your clock to and the game recognizes it or something? So you can choose which one to do?
guide on how to use it just above
ahhh, unlucky
there might be a way to do it on switch, you'd have to invent it though
Unless it recognizes the clock change which I think you can still manually do, I don't know
you would have to disconnet internet to the switch change the clock then it might work idk?
nice
Today's vs 1 month ago
Well this is about to save me a lot of trouble going for that challenge for the Mercenary unlock
Are the prismatic trials the same on consoles? If so i am trying to look up the easiest date
i think they are slightly different, same artifacts i think
Dang
i mean if you find a glass + command one it should be pretty easy
Yeah, was juat hoping for a list so I wouldn't have to just time jump over and over, don't want to risk a paradox you know
blind pest proficiency test
yes i think
I just tested on this same seed, it sends you to solus wing
green portal is also weird, sends to prime meridian. may be stage based idk
literally subbed to u like 4 hours ago waiting fir this vid😭
I'm sorry for bothering again lol, but if I just set my internal clock to the right time will the prismatic seed be the exact same to as if I used the guide? I'm not gonna be streaming it, just recording it, so being offline shouldn't be an issue
today's seed is a stage three with sacrifice and an ap round printer 🫣
im gonna try beat swing
And I'm assuming steam achievements for item unlocks just pop instantly when you go back online right
the notifs show up offline too iirc, they just sync once you return back online
if you have no internet connection at all it should work
Alright sick, asking because the guide probably doesn't work the same if you're on Linux
I will check both of these out on my Switch and see if I can beat one of them
I DID IT!!!!
Thanks for the help guys, and yes the time change on Switch lined up, at least the modifiers did
Only tool about 30 min
how am i supposed to do a whole prismatic trial without falling below 100% health
😭
like gang i'm just tryna get more attacks for mercenary
wait for trial with good artifacts
What system do you play on?
wait for glass
command is probably better but glass is good too
i did it with glass and something else like 2 and a half years ago
shaped glass optional, just is 2x faster. also use capacitor for the 2nd half of the titan fight not immediately like i did
Glass is better. You can't take damage anyway, it's just a 5x dmg boost
I hate these damn trials as mercenary, harder than Earth’s mantle to no hit with my patience
ye but for casual players glass can be quite scary idk XD but yea probably the best combination is glass + command + kin
(kin can have some annoying monsters but you can get lucky)
if you're going to reset if you get hit anyway then surely being on 10% hp makes no difference?
command is not that good since it forces you to stop moving, but if you can manage then it's very easy
today's prismatic trial was scary 
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
We love you Cabbage😘
I have become addicted to prismatic trails
How do you play merc like that?! Impressive stuff
Ive been struggling with ethereal for a few months now 😭
wasd shift space eqrf m1 m2
for the new prismatic trial, idk if anyone found this out but the item that the artifact of rebirth gives u carries on like it is a normal play trhu, letting u pick any item to start off with
that's known, although I don't think anyone's abused it in a run so far. It can also alter chest/interactable contents fwiw
boutta use h3ad-5t wirh the aughment 😭
lets see if im able to get the achievement
nope i wasnt able to one shot the boss unfortunately
i needa go way higher
I was literally every opening single time his channel to check if prismaric trial is possible for me xD
i hate the faraday spur. what do you mean i'm not supposed to jump?
faraday spur. more like faraway spur cause i don't want it anywhere near me. but i have to pick it up because the speed increase is like 10 red whips
is today's trial even possibly doable for mercs challenge ?
BRO THE WISPS DO NOT WAIT TO SPAWN FOR ME
Are there any psgs this trail
Are there any unlocks related to Prismatic Trials after the "beat a prismatic trial" one?
merc acheivment to beat one without taking damage
Thank you
yup
i bless you
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
Thank you cabbage - took 5 runs but got it in the end
Any tips for someone to do their first ever prismatic trial?
It was super hard and I wanna get the achievement for completing one
Which survivor is recommended?
artificer with ion surge is powerful from the start
Huh….
I just did the prismatic trial with cap.
Was shockingly easy
Only took like 6-8 tries
Thank you cabbage ig
<@&559786374228738069> I want this dudes house burnt down with him in it. 3 slurs in a single gif with a flashing swastika
Jesus christ why would you send that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n59pfRc9SM prismatic trial
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
"Thank you cabbage"
-# we all say in unison
🙏
I assume i'll get quickly replaced but i'd say this isn't bad for like 7 or 8 attempts
rather proud of this
smooth operator time
also depending if the merc is a cheater too, that could be third place which is awesome
1:12 Merc is def cheating, Merc just doesn't have enough damage to do that
GoyBoy? Yeah they cheat iirc
Not excited to try and get merc’s ethereal challenge.
But it has to be done to unlock all of his stuff, so… unto the breach
Good luck
Yeah is just as much of a hassle I thought it’d be.
And unfortunately I’m not good enough to be doing the stuff cabbage is doing so I can’t just copy what they do 1:1
Igghhhhb why did I say I’d do this
It’s always the wisps I can’t even see their laser and they just shoot me from behind
When does the next trial come out?
I pray it has glass
They release every 72 hours (iirc) but you'd have to go into the mode to see when the next one is
Next one in 6 hours!!
Thx
So tomorrow should be a new day
An easier prismatic trial
Hopefully with a lot of shieds
*shields
@hollow kernel Artifact of glass present in this prismatic trial!!
we now have three days to get Ethereal
good luck
omg i just did that first try
okay so I reccomend getting will o the wisp or gasoline or something cuz the first boss is a horde of many Gup and also theres an equipment barrel not far past the teleporter and make sure to get a trophy hunters gun cuz the second boss is an overloading worm (maybe? idk i killed it super fast) and then get out of there
super doable wish you the best luck
Thank you so much
Oh hey maybe I can get the overloading worm achievement for commando too
Wait that's genius
:1
Is Ethereal easy today?
For the most part, yes
What’s difficult
the second boss has been different each time ive played but if you get a boss and not horde of many you can just trophy hunter gun it and get out immediately
other than that just dodge and youll be fine
The tricorn of goatedness?
Did Cabbage make his guide yet
Not yet
The prismatic trial didn’t change for me. Did it change for y’all?
I still got an hour on my time for it to change
Thanks goat
I’m never gonna get this am I
I can’t get past the many gups
How do you use the head stompers
Goddammit
I’m never getting this stupid achievement
I figured it out
I just keep dying to the geeps
HEUGH
This is giving me a disease
I had it, the skill
And now I don’t have it anymore
What the hell am I doing wrong
I’m doing it exactly like cabbage did except the gups aren’t dying
maybe i had beginners luck...?
if you get hardlight afterburner you could just dash in and dash out super quickly and do slow damage
YES
I FINALLY GOT TO STAGE 2 HITLESS
Thank you tougher times 🙏
I GOT IT LIKE SECOND TRY WOOOOOOOOO
I guess sleeping on it and taking time WAS the strat
Thanks for the gas+wisp Strat
YOO CONGRATS
This is how I got the ethereal skill done btw, goated Merc 🙏
aaaand i just clipped through the floor when trying to do the groundslamming strat 😔
aaaand thats a second time
FINALLY!!!!
ok now i sleep cuz 2am
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
not only did you beat this without getting hit once, you also somehow got 1st place at the time
dang you're insane at this
nice run
Are Prismatic trials hard? I have 150 hours and never touched the gamemode lmaoo
Not really tbh... but most people just do it for the merc unlock
Also for the harvesters scythe 
I just did it for Scyth and trophy on ps5
just pick your favorite items and win
pretty cool double AWU skip trial
Can I ask what graphic setting ya are running?
default stuff mostly nothing special just 1440p for youtube compresses it less
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
How did thay guy get a time that was 30ish seconds faster than everyone else
I didn’t tho? Guy behind me was a second behind
Top 1
Ohhhh misread mb, cheated run
Ohh
there are a lot of cheaters in prismatic trials so you kind of just have to guess which ones are real, but most of them just play mercenary or huntress for achievements
Oh that makes sense
How does this guys double awu skip work
he hit awus with a shuriken on the first frame they spawned causing the game to think that they died
no shuriken, just the m2
also it's kinda my thing to know stuff like that
Any easier seeds for console? Been trying ethereal on my own but it’s tuff
mb I was thinking about the wrong trial
:(
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
what
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
The only people who actually do these for merc challenge are either xbox or into CBT
why do you do this
I've been doing this for 762 x 3 days straight in a row without stopping
this commitment has survived pets, houses, and people I've dated
2286
what would be this week's quickest/safest build?
the polyp strat doesn't really work but it also kinda does
the stage 1 chance shrine on this seed is an actual anomaly
hits 10 and 19 give items
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
the chance shrine on stage 1 takes 19 hits to drop both items. at a 45% chance to get nothing, what are the odds of that?
can you do it again but with 19 chance shrine plays 🙏🙏🙏
🥬
I'm still baffled there's no Head of Cabbage emoji
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
Cabbage and vulfoof doing their secret handshake again
Wait omg. You two are just Sully and Mike.
Fun loader movement trial
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
clay pot off the cliff
you have to lead it like that, otherwise it gets stuck
Soon, I move to New York for 3 months for a summer job.
I may not have access to internet or my phone/laptop at points.
I will continue to try my best to post cabbage.
If you miss a cabbage, the entire community (or at least me) will come together as one and help post the cabbage. Like a feel-good ending of a sports movie.

What ARE prismatic trials anyway?
quick chats
#ror2-hacker-trials
welp, hoping that it gets solved later, still got sub 4:30
what's strategy for sub4 tho
git gud sphghdxsil;fgik LOLLLLL 420
tru
Or something like that.
4 step guide on how to get top leaderboard
step 1. download 3rd-party software
step 2. use it to manipulate risk of rain 2.exe
step 3. ???
step 4. profit
Surprised there was no cheap anticheat put in the game
not even sure what the point is for people doing that. there are no rewards yet
There isn't really a need for anticheat (yet) as its mostly single-player/co-op and no real benefit in cheating currently (apart from literally announcing to the world "im cheating")
It could be that people are cheating simply as a proof of concept
or just bored and want to feel special
ADMIN ABUSE
For some reason you'll have to back out and then back in to update the times
I THINK it only happens the first time, not sure.
@foggy star How do we know if we are in top 10%? May care to insight us with your plan?
@cosmic peak currently you dont get anythin for being in top 10%, it ultimately depends on anti cheat vs accidentally shooting the modding community in the foot
the issue with the top of the leaderboards is people were using it to cheat a score to advertise their twitch channel, websites, etc
that's scum
@foggy star cool. I noticed the top 10% not getting anything yet. Is what you said also the reason why top n leaderboard is not being shown?
Sub 3:00!
minimizing the movements + getting Preon Accumulator did the trick. With better execution might even achieve 2:50
yes
I feel like prismatic trials shouldn't allow mods anyway. have it so you can only do them if you are running the vanilla game.
Cool. Love this game man! have been playing since ror1, and seeing the game in 3D is really rejoicing.
I might actually try out the trials now since I like getting a chance to see how I fare against other players!
Instead of seeing people with negative times. 
Oh? is it fixed no more negative time people? 😮
Well, what I can tell you is that now the leaderboard shows players in the range around your rank.
What does it show if you have no rank?
nothing. You'll have to complete a game to see the leaderboard
Also, does anyone know if 'identical game world' means the seed features items I didn't unlock as well?
Yes
Cool. Then the seed might contain items I'm not familiar with... which may help lowering the time
@granite crow What's your route?
Rain of arrws on first crystal then sprint+ blink to preon
Rain on lower crystal then soot higher one, damage boosting to ap ammo
Then blink to boomer juice
Seems prty much same so far
Go to tp then blink to shieldbox while charging bfg
shoot boss until kill
tp
then stage 2
rain close crystal and go to 2 next ones
glaive + rain on the far one
activate tp then get syringe and medbot
kill boss
It can probably be done faster as multi cause huntress's range and damage are kinda bad imo
Yeah, it seems like the boss fight is what eats up the time
I do the exact same route except mul-t
I only did it to show up my friend tbh
I won't be trying any harder
Tried merc but he gets shotgunned by queen too easy
since she can 180 noscope you
same problem with titan, he can shoot through his own body
Merc is generally too challenging for me.
You can't really play merc in the current state of the game
Maybe faster with better execution with his dmg output, but I don't see it happening
Blazing enemies shut him down completely
all of these seem so crazy lmao
just finished trial said my time at the end was 4:10 but its 4.16 on leaderboards?
I guess the timer dont stop whne u hit the last teleporter
So I'm currently 770 in the rankings. If I somehow do worse than my current run? Will it drop me to a lower place, or does it keep my current position until I bet it? Silly question I know
u keep postion
^
Phew. Thank goodness.
yeah it's unfortunate that the timer doesn't stop until you teleport.
The shrine hit timestamp for this run was 2:49, and look what it actually shows :/
yeah so at the end of the game the time stamp is when you hit E on teleporter. but the lleaderboards shows the time from when you teleported
yeah, kinda annoying lol
Merc player. damn. going hardcore eh?
LOL

I got the holy number
437
Merc was almost all I played in RoR1
how you guys get such low times do you even pick up items or just rush boss?
333 time
yeah tbh that cuts the time in half
Preon is the key
Get that and you're pretty much done lol
I only pick up items onway to the crystals. what is preon?
So in the first map
Not sure if I should save Preon for the 2nd boss
Chan don't
cool ok
I don't think worth
@simple oracle here you go:
That equipment has a preon accumulator in it
Np ^^
That thing does tons of dmg on the boss
that's the key for lower time for this seed
if there isn't any better item
I'd also recommend picking up armor piercing
Helps a lot in my experience
And you're missing the preon for most of one of the boss fights for which you choose to use it on, so having the bonus dmg is really useful
Anyways, I'm gonna go work on lowering my merc time
Wish me luck friends!
GL with your merc
go for the lunar pod near that equip box, I remember that had a good item i think (im not to sure) 
You mean the Backup?
Which would be sick
@solemn verge the Backup wouldn't outdmg preon
BF Golem and overloading beetle queen
Golem uses its laser almost right after it spawns
I think the pattern is fist, laser, summon, fist, then something. With Preon the golem is gone by that point
Best thing to do for trials-
Explore multiple runs figuring out which items are where (Since its always the same map, items and whatnot)
Plan out route
Get fast time
no not the backup
i never picked up the preon i saw that my time was too high if i went for it
Holy crap
the was a thing you could spend a lunar coin on near by
I'm in tha tphoto!
Decent run!
Traiitor, that pod has the item that lowers active by 50% but makes it auto use lol
If you were to pick it up you'd need to do it after giant
So that you had preon for the beetle
Where's this lunar pod? Not the one near the tp?
There's one near the preon pod
Near the crystal near the lunar pod more rather
I am out of lunar coins else I'd test runs with it
not if you play Mul-T
have the rebar launcher out when you pick up preon, switch of it then go for the lunar pod 
Ohhh I didn't even think of that
That could actually be ridiculously fast
No beating a Mul-T as merc I guess :'(
in this case its his 2 equip slots thats got him beat so its not that bad
Oh found it.
Not sure if I want to spend my lunar coin when getting in the top 10% means nothing at this point + I haven't unlocked the 10 Lunar coin playable character yet
don't spoil what the character is tho
Merc with sub 3 will be so awesome to witness
I'm gonna try killing golem without preon
a lot of my time loss is that there's too many trash mobs on beetle, so my R isn't targeting her enough
top 10% gets nothing, but is there a way to tell if I'm top 10%?
there's a merc ahead of me
D:
Not at the moment, I think. Asked Hopoo and he didn't really pointed that out so welp
man only off by 0.77
oof.
AAA
Preon on beetle is definitely faster
I'm in Mul-T territory now for my time though LOL
Merc ain't too bad
Im wondering if there's a reward for Trials now, or still yet to come? ;P
Im wondering what that'll be considering RoR never really had something like this ebfore
is it faster to sprint or spin on ground as merc
Skins? Can't be an item right?
Can't be an item. I imagine that's gonna be the customizations
maybe some aesthetic for multiplayer
like how the items are shown on your characters
o shit
oh shit
lol nearly everyone is on mult
I will never join the mul-t gang
Okay so
Explanation: there's a way to take Beetle Queen to 800 health with your preon
Just have to hit her right as she gets up afaik
Sub 3 feels gooood
where's the preon?
scroll up and there is a screenshot
Here ya go
near the 2 crystals on the first level though
i see i see
@bold falcon where's this fuel cell?
Oooh
God dude I'm so happy
Maybe it's time to push faster times with Mul-T now
Commando too
Artificer could probably get 2:30ish
damn not sure if I can top these runs
You got this friend
Ok so you actually have to get the preon, then come back to this shrine, get 2 items, and that still saves the time/
decent run!
very unoptimal strat though
why does my prisma trial always add 7 seconds to it when i get the end time?
Because it ends after your character disappears
Not after pressing E on the teleporter
dang that sucks
yeah
Would feel way better
where is the cell
ima try that im capped at 2:35 cant go any faster with back up
i can't find it
chance shrine in the ridge under the bones
theres armor percing round in one of the kiosks near the preon 
it didn't really do much for me i did faster runs without it
what's this cell for?
cell adds another use on your equipment
Yeah I know that but getting preon and cell wouldn't save time
so what's this cell for?
nothing much really you still have to wait 2min to get the 2nd charge
that lunar pod has near the preon has that item that drastically reduced cool downs, and mult has 2 equip slots so possibilities 
i used cell + back up to get my best time
where's backup?
right next to teleporter
I'ma grind with preon still
kk
was about to ask if somone could do that 😄
Preon isn't worth using on titan
I get the same time regardless
it's like 5 sec diff
I'm in real mul-t territory now LOL
with level up it might be worth using on beetle
Chan, it's never going to be worth on titan unless you just suck at that fight
Beetle has too much hp, you get the hp to 6-800 ish with preon
Gonna record my next run so you guys can see it ^^
Gimme a few minutes
you can get 2 crystals at once with mul-t's secondary gun at the start which helped me get a decently fast time but idk if it made a different
nioce
adding some way to sort leaderboard by character would be cool
Seeing the data would be cool, but hopefully that doesn't negatively impact the game by people just going for characters with lower average time
dude i forgot about the damage that raming things does
The top 10% stuff if it ever comes should stay to global characters imo
But it'd be awesome for me to be able to see where I'd be relative to other merc players :)
https://streamable.com/2ypn4 @fossil jackal @simple oracle
Here you go guys
ty 😃
Couple seconds slower than I would've liked it to be but it shows my general route
Np
During the 2nd crystal in the 2nd area my R targeting messedu p
Else it would've been a solid 2:40
Firing preon right as you activate the teleporter is crucial, it damages the beetle queen a ridiculous amount
Not entirely sure if it's a bug or not though
Also traitor is 100% right with the fastest possible time involving that lunar pod incase people haven't been paying attention
That lunar pod is kinda the key to getting a dumb time
just hitting her while shes spawning is good cause you can stop the sheild from charging all the way
Probably fuel cell + lunar pod + backup if you can find a way to path it
Oh is that what happens?
I didn't know that's how it worked
Thanks for the info :D
Love this part of the game, its a shame that IM not the type of RoR player who plays quickly, Im the type who insures no stone is unchecked
I'm a little confused, is it only in prismatic trials that you can instantly charge the teleporter by killing the boss or did I miss a mechanic somewhere?
Only prismatic
Ok, thanks
Np
okay
so
if you are very precise with your timing with merc
you have enough time to activate tele and then grab backup before it becomes unavailable
Yeah I noticed that
But I'm not sure it's worth it
Using Backup to kill the golem makes it a lot faster, but the cooldown for preon will still exist
So you've gotta run backup on beetle too
I haven't tried any backup runs though
Lmk your results though
i just snipe them during downtime of walking
i would guess rebar sniping?
gonna try to go for top 100
