im using mult and doing the preon strat and the shortest time i can get is 3 mins idk how the fuck you guys are getting such low times. the only item i grab is preon and the wax quail from the boss
i grab the armor piercing and soda can
hmm i will try
I don't think I can push merc further than 2:43 :(
@crystal trench ayeee
found new strat
boost yourself with crystal
extra time lmao
let me see if I can get that on video
GL
yea
is it worth grabbing the fuel cell from the shrine of chance?
do you guys grab the soldiers syringe
Hi @cosmic peak
Do you think sub 2 is possible?
@cosmic peak soldiers syringe definately not worth
@fossil jackal What's goin on man
What's the issue you're having with getting better times?
i think the most time save i can do is order of killing crystals gonna work on that now
getting crits on crystals is pretty nice
kk not worth got it
Man I feel like I can still go faster
I'm gonna have to try to push for 2:30 I guess
i click first teleporter at 1:17 is anyone going faster
I click it at like 1:40 LMAO
Yeah
257 w/ huntress
Friendly reminder
This was sent in context to prismatic trials
Friends, Merc is fine
Mul-t is just ridiculous
245 huntress
merc
Oh
https://youtu.be/Y4OPWg4fZB8 This might help a bit
Not sure how those guys go so fast
But this is my route
what the fuck i was going so fast but beatlequeen spawned god knows where
wrong side of pillar
๐
RIP
Holy shit lol
Your friend at 15 min LOL
Which one
Okay so
direct hits
It only did like a quater damage
i used it on beetle
The goal is to have it shock her while she's spawning
So she gets no shield
Then hit the hill behind her
And have the aoe damage her
She should end with like 800-1100 hp after it
Best of luck, friend
wait you can do that
oh wow
ive only been getting her to like 1.8k
yeah
i know about hitting her before shield but
if you get it RIGHT as she's spawning in, she doesn't have shields
didnt know about hitting hill behind her
I'm gonna try that now, that alone should push me into the top 500 lol
thsi is interesting lezgo
:)
Glad to help you guys
I'm gonna try to bring merc up to where Chad In Time is right now though
still some visible mistakes
uh might have found a huntress tele bug
if you jump and aim it slightly down you tele farther
my guess, is that when you tele into an object it forces you forward
and if you're in the air you have some falling momentum
thats such a neat trick
Getting really really close to sub 2 min
Yeah
I'm glad to have shown it to you :O
lemme record a run ill show u a dope strat
The preons explosion has a huge AoE
so close to sub 3 mins :pepehands:
That trick can come in handy outside of prismatic too
The AoE a bit more than half the size of the range of it shocking things lol
Which is a lot
I think it's the same range as Ukelele's shocking iirc
Loool
I can't go on that long
Maybe in RoR1
This one is so much harder though
ah, well, ror1 had command artifact
hah
This is just a matter of RoR1 having less need for me to move my mouse around haha
it's the only thing I need to improve for now
I'm pretty bad at managing all the stuff in this game
keep dying since i'm doing risky strats
god fuck this golem
there are so many adds that are just covering him
I can't shoot him when there's 4 fucking golems ontop of him
salutation fellas
Just lerft first tp at 1:34 holy shit
are you FUCKING kidding me
the laser only triggers when you get out of range of him
and I was doing fine and a random golem shot me out of range and I died to laser
fucking hell
I'm impressed by these people with good times on commando
i am actually going to get an anyeurism
this golem fight is so fucking RNG when you're doing the huntress strat
kms
Yeah
i legit shot the bfg too early
kms
the huntress strat is LITERALLY fucking rng
this is so infuriating
are you fucking kidding me
this is actually so annoying
i hate golems so much
why do regular ones have lasers
FUCK
why is everything wisps and golems
You can do it!
i just did and then a wisp killed me after I activated beetle tele
Not sure if this helps any but the lasers are blockable by the big golems body

It's the only way I can survive in that fight
i know that
Also just went from 2:38.59 to 2:38.54 lol
i would have just got 2:27 on huntress if I didn't die
didn't even get the correct proc with the bfg
alright lads
we need
to fuckin
talk
what triggers the golem's laser attack
because it ends runs
If ur too far
is that the only one?
alright I don'tr think I can get it much lower than this
You definitely can
I'm happy with sub 3 mins
ive been trying to record a run for like 40 attempts now
keep messing up ๐ฆ
As am I
Sub 3 is nice though dude, gratz
Thanks to your tips honestly
My very first run was like 5 minutes lmfao
Top 10% is like, top 500 right?
I'd like to know what to aim for when there's actually rewards for having a high rank
When there are rewards we'll know what 10% is preobably
Well
going based off my friend who had a 15 min run
there's 15,763 people at least who've ran the trial
and 10% of that is 1576
so it's safe to say if you're above 1.5k you're top 10 percent.
unless i'm an idiot who can't do math, that's a real possibility
Me irl
Artificer > Mul-T don't @ me
@urban flower You rite tho
I'm cryin lmao
L
@urban flower can you upload a vid of your run? I'm really interested in seeing how the fuck someone can be that fast with art
art could probably destroy the shards pretty fast
Honestly
I can probably do better on art than merc
One sec
I'mma try to play her
lol @crystal trench
mul-t is pretty easy to play and he's a buster
cuz I found a strange mechanic using the explosion of the crystal
using the upper crystal by the Preon, if you time it right you can launch yourself to the tp with help of tank form
or whatever it is called
shopping cart mode ๐
so you can basically just rocket jump over
that's the term yeah
Sin
Damn is it time to ditch Mul-T
mul-t is still the way to go
Not sure where I'm losing time tho
Mul-T and Commando
Prolly the strongest
Okay
I'm going to the dark side for Multi soon
First gonna try to go for 2:30ish on huntress
I can't believe there are still 150 people above 2:15
wait do you think the sub 2:20 runs are using this shopping cart glitch thing?
Wait those are mins right
Dang dude hold up I gotta rethink about my life real quick
If shopping card jump happens you're missing AP and booster juice
uh
I need my juice
uploading my 2:41 artificer
no but i highly doubt it ever beats speed
Does energy drink really save you that much dime
cause sprint speed works on the speed damage
Ohhh okay
the bash
I didn't know his damage was based on speedf
you don't need the preon for beetle w/ art
surely it helps tho, no?
nope
hmm
you can get a similar shield cancel w/ art
Yeah
R
o
You can do with MB2 if you're timing it right as well
yeah both work
ill give that a shot now
uploading a run now
I think I could shave off a few by not going for the health kit
but that requires a lot of luck to not die
Hey @urban flower
ya?
Healthkit isn't needed
The only time you'll die is if you let golem use his laser
I would've had 2:25
But I messed up a few things
Gonna record what I think might be an ooptimal art run
BTFO Mul-T Scrubs OMEGALUL Heatlhkit optional, I'm just bad.
here's my unoptimal art run
Its ok I'm recording all the failed attempts too LOL
yeah it's like 10 tries to get that one
I'm not the best player lol
I messed up a lot
anyone able to get engi sub 3:19? I wanna bring the underdog to sub 3
I found that with the right timing you can boost yourself using the crystal explosion
Yeah if you look at my screenshots a few people have sub 3 minute engis
I can run him to sub 3 if you'd like to see
Pretty sure I can bring any character there rn
Oh sweet, nice run
ya I'd love to see a run if you can
looks like art might be the better choice? soulrider was able to remove queens shield with his R like I have been doing with the Q
Coal, do you run charge your shots when you're moving to the crystals?
I figured out that you can do that and it feels so smooth
you can use R or M2 @simple oracle
yeah that works great on the first crystal
m2 is just harder to time/aim
Art is amazing at melting bosses in general
it's just a shame about y'know, the rest of the kit ๐
I cry alot
Done @thick gust
Uploading video now
It's really really really bad
Because I suck at engineer
But if you play him a lot, I'm sure you can use the universal things that I do to make your run a lot faster
Thanks mate, I wanna see if it's anything like what I got going on. ๐
Np
Not sure if it's faster or not but for engi I'd recommend grabbing tritip instead of energy if you're grabbing those
Will make the golem kill a lot faster
Also launch yourself with the crystals more than I did lol
how do you do this for commando
@open wagon @thick gust https://youtu.be/vYYxmnH8lRg
Quality sucks rn
Because still processing
And also I'm really, really, really bad at engineer
But it is very very possible to throw him to sub 3
I mean it's better, right?
That's half the ranks

My first run was 12m or so
Because I was in looter mindset
Then realized I had to speedrun
My strat ain't the best tbh but it's functional
I can still avoid losing some time in certain bits
I'll give it another shot
i keep fucking forgetting to switch off commando each time ree
i just spam the start button
I may have done a bad
Thanks
Pauldron is fun as heck tho
Yes 'cause apparently the rocks' hitbox isn't as large as I expected so he shot through it
lol XD

i feel your pain
hey @crystal trench thanks, I shaved off a good 16 seconds!
damn dude, gratz!
We should have our own Prismatic trials voice channel tbh
hard agree
gonna mention that in feedback
So are the only abilities that can canel Beetle's shield: Art's m2 and r, and preon?
Nobody cheated lol
Yeah, only use it on second boss
? how did they cheat
Look at the screenshots i sent
second boss spawned with half health
SCRIPT KIDDEIS CAN frEEze the timeres
They already had their preon on cooldown
r...
and 1 shot everything
Ruubi, that's not a cheat
that's not a cheat lol
why are huntress and commando dominating up here
Artificer can stop the shield w.o preon
@bold falcon youre sick
ty
chad it's gotta be for the globals
Probably that yeah
does anyone have a clue how the top 100 are getting 1:30 and under?
can huntress stop shield with r?
wish I knew, its gotta be crazy
@heady abyss Not sure
gonna try to get 2 min with huntress dont know the strat tho
i have a friend ive been talking to who is 94 with 1:36.01 and i follow his route and method to a T and only get 2:30 at best
๐ค
What's he play ?
secret engi tech to go at the speed of sound confirmed
Mul-t and he got 1:46 with the back up method, but switched to preon route and lowered it by 10sec
?? wtf
what is this secret engi tech
i feel like its fishy but idk, dont want to call it out
tell me your secrets
Huntress CAN infact block shield with R
im joking i meant that the 1:36 guy used black magic on engi somehow
If the number next to your name on global ranking is that pinkish, does that mean you are in the top 10 %?
shield blocking is op as fuck, is it a bug or intended?
Probably a game mechanic
More accurately it's an abuse of a game mechanic
Ye that
Shields don't regenerate in combat, and they start regenerating on spawn for the overloaded elite
seems like you have to be damaging with aoe BEFORE it spawns which feels like an unintended exploit if im being honest
So we hit them as soon as it spawns, and we stop them from regenerating
but idc, still gonna use it

I got 2:55 with using the BFG on the 1st boss rather than 2nd
So you're abusing a bug, to get higher on the leader boards

Isn't that what we call "Cheating"?
dont think it a bug
Again, it's not a bug lol
well everyone is technically, its the enemy shield bar
It's not
Use your preon when you activate the 2nd teleporter
Look at beetles hp
it feels like its unintended is all im saying
The shocks will stop them from regenerating shield
Not everything has to be intended <3
Its not cheating if I hit it as soon as i see it 
If this weren't here then the theorycrafting for this trial wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable
Yeah
if its not intended and it gives you an advantage i would call it an exploit by definition
The flamethrower is hitting the hitbox
not to say all exploits are bad
The flamethrower hits it, Ruubi
That's not what a bug is
tbh Why we arguing when nobody gets rewards anyway yet?
bugs are definitely not cheating
@crystal trench I was afk but just got back and saw your vid, thanks man and sweet run! I'll be working on sub 3 now
No problem dude
Not a sweet run though haha
You can do much better since you seem to know engineer more than me
its patched
so i see youve never been a part of a speedrun community then lmao
And you are Ruubi, there's no outside exploit going on, these are mechanics in the game
Not even complicated ones either
Why would i? sounds like a bunch of actual brainlets
You can do the same thing with Engi
yike
it feels wrong that you should have to INTENTIONALLY avoid damaging the boss before its shields pop up to avoid an unintended bug
Okay so Ruubi
if i accidentally abuse it should i die on purpose because i cheater?
I don't think it's a bug, it's just stopping it's shields from coming up
In what way am I acting dishonestly or unfairly
By hitting something to stop its shields from regenerating
Please explain
Litterally skipping half their health
the difference between an exploit and a cheat is that an exploit is fair because anyone can do it
Shields arent health
imagine speedrunning games without exploits
It's like punching someone in the boxing ring before you're supposed to

it's cheating
zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ignore him friends
huge ๐ค
obvious troll
^

But it's not, it's like the bell rings in a boxing ring and the other person doesn't have the guard up in time
i mean your pfp gives you away ruubi
Actual retards, do you have problems evolving?
.< .
o no he's 
No need to be an ass
yikers
mods
Just block the lad and get back to the talken
big yikes
I'm cosplaying as the character in my pfp next month
My parents helped me make my costume
I'm not sure they'd care
Because you're a lost cause
My parents are very supportive of my hobbies and interests :)
how is this guy the first thing i see coming into the chat LMFAO
deff a troll
and if the enemies can do ridiculous things to us sometimes I think its more than fair game we can too

I'm not sure how people get ~2:12 with merc
Has anyone here gotten faster than 2:35 with it
what is the best method for shield blocking on mult?
Preon
I just got 2:38 with engi
jesus what the fuck is wrong with this dude lmfao
Yeah, I just realized
Awesome Jamie
why is he getting so ass blasted over speed runs that have no meaning yet
I can put down my mines as I'm falling down to the second boss
relax
before I pop the crystals
start preon as you hit the tp?
tbh I think this is as far as I can push it ngl
I have three huntress right above me
do you put bombs on the crystal or stack them on the boss spawn?
Yes @heady abyss
Most of my lost seconds are the lock aiming at the wrong target
Aim it at the hill behind the beetle
If it misses beetle it'll hit that hill and still damage her :)
Yep
huge
I put the bombs on the boss spawn
how do you guys do huntress second level
Uhhh
i do first in 1:10 and then slow down hella hard
Tunnel next to spawn, R the first Crystal, kill the other 2, R the boss before it spawns then it goes from there
That's how I do it
I got 2:47 so nb
did u do w preon or back up
I use Preon on the 1st Boss that's it
There's a lot of things you have to keep in mind with Engi @thick gust that can be ruining your times--your landmines can jump off of the boss and into your shield and do no damage to the boss, I hold back on putting down the shield right away cause it don't matter too much.
You also have to put your turrets as close as possible to where the boss is, that way they don't aggro off, but, you can't be on the boss's spawn location otherwise it'll spawn a different boss.
Do you use both Backups on 1st or half
yeah i use both but i dont know the best breakup
'Aight gonna find that Backup
YO
Thanks for the help @open wagon I didn't know about the turret agro, I'll try putting them closer. Also do you grab items on the way to the first boss? I've just been grabbin AP
plus preon ofc
I grab, the boss bullets, preon, and then I get the tri tip dagger
BUT YO
new time??
YOUR LANDMINE WILL STOP THE SHIELDS
ohhh snap
so mine to stop shields then preon?
Yeah,
will that insta kill then?
Just about actually
@split meadow
dang dude, good find
Yeah, no, this is rad
@bold falcon ?
anyone here got less then 2mins ?
Also, and for everyone, if you get a golem to spawn, try to ride it's blast and not dodge it
Y'know, just a few extra seconds
skip the cell
whos #1 on the global atm?
Oh skip it?
2.00.95 is my best at narque
yea
u do it faster skipping
just tested
unless u do 1-1 split which im not sure is fatser
still working it out
whos #1 on the global atm?
and whats the time?
@thick gust also, a heads up, try to not spawn your turrets too fast on the first boss. They may not even attack the boss if you do that
yeah i cant beat 2:35 idk what im missing
I don't think sub 2:00 is possible with engi
@open wagon I think I got the bosses down, now its just getting good clears on the crystals and luck with mob spawns
just got 2:57 but my friend wants to play some multi now, I'll get back to it later and hopefully return with a 240
good luck to you man
whos #1 on the global atm?
and whats the time?
We don't know
If only every single enemy alive didn't have an aimbot
@open wagon ok, did one run more actually
Yeah!
I think I can do it, but I'm glad to have hit the top 200!
I have yet to see another engi though. :')
Yeah
(other than Coal)
That's how it was when I was climbing with Merc
But apparently there are a couple with 2:12 times
Which I wanna figure out how
Yeah, that's wild
I think it's getting good boost jumps off the crystals
that helps
You can't with merc
Mercs attacks give him super armor afaik
Can't boost with crystals
Ya yeep
Couldn't you dash through the crystal as it explodes?
love how all i see it mul-t
Yeah but positioning for that can lose you a couple seconds more than it gains
That's fair
And the points where it won't it's better to whirlwind off of the ground
Might as well be a Mul-t only Trial 
That's all trials :(
I cry
i want to say its a mul-t only trial
but what the heck is this
why are there so many not multis
I guess it's time for me to go back to grinding
I saw 'em I believe
Man, how are you getting a 2:00???
Don't remember where
x_ x
time to explore
I might be wrong and they could be on the 2nd
Not entirely sure
I was doing a looting run because I forgot I had to speedrun and I think I saw 'em somewhere
bleh i feel like artificer can't go too much faster than this
o boy thats a lot of moolah
so what's the top strat for the current trial then
Gratz
I didn't realize there's a crystal in the tunnel and went for the one way further
in the second map
that's where it ate time
yo, same chan
but theres no way i can figure out how to shave half a sec
I was so hype with a huntress sub 4 min using the bfg with 2 charges, but i see that I have been wrong this whole time
sub 2:20 artificer with a lucky crit R on the first boss
what is the general item build rn?
okay I think I just need to clean up my run then
and toss a bunch of my extra shit
cheats
that's nuts
yehr its a problem
i actually dont imagine ever getting better than 1:52
I feel good enough with my rank atm
yeah, i feel like if i'm getting any faster it'll be because i got a crit or something
that's crazy
what were you stopping it with before?
preon
no, but now i can hope for rng 1 shot on titan
with crit chance
and then kill bug normally
whats the cutoff for top 10%
I'm 2:31, and my number is pink. I think it might be around 3:00
I really climbed through it so Ican't remember when it turned pink
Nice.
Bleh, I really gotta do something to get sub 2:30
are prismatic trials just the first level?
first two
i honestly dont care too much past getting 10% honestly
hopefully the rewards are neat
Well, I like being top 200! Because it's actually top 100, because I'm not too confident about some folks not doin fishy stuff. >_>
But it's tough with Engi
Yeah.
Honestly I'm just doing my current runs pretty sloppy, I stepped back to eat.
Who you doing the runs with Crash?
hey Jamie do you know if you can boost off the first crystals, on both rounds?
damn, chad
pink number is top 10%?
yes
today's trials 10% is way more than 3:00
das alot of people doing it then
What class do people use for this?
use what your heart desires
MUL-T mostly but you can get good times with anyone
i got top 200 as artificer, follow your dreams
I can boost off of both of the first crystals
I only focus on boosting off of the first one however
when i logged off i was 169, which is pretty nice
nice
I'm sitting here at 2:24, already beat the second boss and hit the tele, and it just takes forever to bring me out
Prismatic Trials are like a speed run of the game, it's always the same items and such
YOu destroy three crystals, and the boss, as fast as you can
Yeah I feel like you have to restart your game occasionally to speed things up
I was getting consistent 2:29s then I restarted the game on a whim and shaved 6 whole seconds off my time
How the heck do you guys even do these trials so quickly, I can barely even complete it
k ill check that out
how the hell do you guys do this so fast lmfao
https://youtu.be/uneDAp5bdAo here's an artificer video if anyone is interested in that
Sorry about the keyboard sounds. Might record the best times I can get each time, it's pretty fun when they're quick like this.
Mainly just lots of practice and discussing pathing with friends
Even without damage boost strats you can still get around 2:40-50
The big secret is to skip the beetle queen's shielsd
@meager ravine yo, I didn't know you could hit em before they had a shield, that's cool
Yeah it's rarely relevant in normal cases since you don't know where/when they'll show up, but here, it's amazing. Also not sure if it's intentional ๐
got 1:57.83 as arti :D
Damn and here I was thinking I might have been the best ๐
What do you do different?
what the heck is a prismatic trial?
If you don't mind sharing
It's a seeded run that you try and complete as quick as possible.
Seeded meaning, it will be the same for everyone, every time.
All enemy spawns will be the same, as well as items and tele rewards
oh shoot, I see. Forgot that existed on the menu lol
thought it was some rare portal for a sec
It's pretty fun to try and shave down your own times as different characters
I'd imagine
That smaller stone golem that spawn around the boss, stand in front of him so preon hits him as it travels to boss, make sure he dies before you tele to hit level 3, gives you a massive dps boost for the queen
I didn't even think of leveling up for the DPS boost, good call!
Yeah, I was trying to figure out why sometimes the queen was dying way easier than others then I noticed sometimes I was level 3 and others I was just below it
Damn I suck lol
Can anyone elaborate on when the run finishes? Never finished a trial so
2 stages
How do you skip the Beetle shield?
shoot your preon as soon as you press the tele
towards the wall
if you do it right then the beetle will appear with like 800 hp
Ty
Do you also know how @meager ravine gets crazy velocity of killing the time crystals?
Towards of away from it?
Ok thanks again!
I wonder what those sub 2 min huntress runs look like
anyone have a recording or some tips?
I've been using drones and swapping to preon for beetle, but even with the lower cooldown it's a bit too long at this pace
might have to drop one of the two, I'll see which one works best without the gun
probably beetle
I have a 1:44 if anyones interested
Although the route is dead kinda now
With new mult nerf
rest in peace
whats the best strat?
on this patch idk
prob a arti or huntress strat
been getting preon and curse of the drowned on huntress : P only around 3:20
mult can prob still pull sub 2 pretty easily
how would I go about it with the mul-t to get sub 2 min lol
sec i have the video
mind the kanye
but like i said, with base dmg nerf crystals are 4 shot now
and obv multi slower
if u shoot at overloaded enemies as they spawn they can start with 3/4 or half hp
timing can be kinda wonky
oh woops my bad
cannot for the life of me do those jumps lol
You could honestly just settle for collating them both till they die and run to the next one
main thing is praying the boss starts with half
so its only sometimes the boss wil start with less if u shoot at them while theyre emerging>
they will always start with less if u shoot at them before hand
it just seems rng whether its half or 3/4 of their hp left
you can get sub 2 with huntress or nah?
strat?
r one of the far away gems
shoot the one in front of you
go left, possibly with the explosion pushback
Keep in mind u can shoot 2 at the same time
i just rush drones
healing and gunner? or just gunner
Shoot 2nd boss as it spawns and it starts with less hp
yea must R
so keep it off cooldown
u can prob R once at start of stage 2 and its up by time of boss
What rank would top 10% be prob?
I wonder
are shrine of chance items fixed?
yep
unless there's some really good jump you can get from the explosion
wouldn't know though, haven't tried
that's probably the next thing I should work on
still no clue how to sub 2
Feel like huntress maybe cant
I mean
