its so slow though
robust hornet
nah i know you dont care bout speed
cyan stratus
yea nobody does nowadays
robust hornet
just me lmao
cyan stratus
i did a singular loader run of 2:25 i hope you're happy
go beat it
here's ethereal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rce35J6gK8&feature=youtu.be

maybe a couple missiles here or there s2 but i didn't get lucky
should be very easy to beat

not the best rex trial tbh
indigo snow
here's ethereal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rce35J6gK8&feature=youtu.be
Some mods are just always dead
solemn fiber
if some mods are always ded why keep em bro
slim lintel
not the best rex trial tbh
such a thing does not exist
idk whats up with penguin, never see them do much but they're one of the few mods with the "admin" role so they must do more background stuff idk
indigo snow
They post update notes, friend of the devs or part of the team in some way is my guess
robust hornet
I guess you're right. You and cabbage are on a whole another level than I am
little wadi
for some reason I cant access that video, could someone summarize what you have to do?
slim lintel
do the trial without getting hit
cyan stratus
@slim lintel lol go run this trial i bet u cant get sub 2 idiot
slim lintel
with loader or rex
slim lintel
nah works fine
little wadi
no its an error with youtube
slim lintel
scorched acres was a mistake
solemn fiber
a pretty one though
slim lintel
a pretty mistake is what my mother calls me
grats cabbage I can't even be bothered to complete this trial
cyan stratus
lol
slim lintel
really losing interest in ror2
slim lintel
I found cabbages fursona
cyan stratus
no
vapid sierra
cabbage
slim lintel
cabbage if I get sub 2min loader this trial you have to make that your profile pic for a month
ripe lantern
It's not cabbage's fursona. Clearly this means they have one
vapid sierra
if cabbage get's 1 million followers on twitch he will need to practice cannibalism
slim lintel
cabbage decided to focus on dying youtube for some reason instead of semi dying twitch
cyan stratus
i averaged 1 viewer when i streamed and that was myself
vapid sierra
lol
slim lintel
Pretty sure if you would have started streaming your ethereal attempts + clipping and posting the finished route your twitch would have blown up
ripe lantern
takes months to build a consistent audience
slim lintel
of course at this point you're basically completing ethereal on your first attempt so they'd be short streams
cyan stratus
yea it takes about 15 minutes max to route and like 5 minutes to get
wouldn't be a lot of content
royal zodiac
Anyone been able to complete the mercenary challenge yet?
tough belfry
royal zodiac
Thankyou, I did it yesterday and it's funny because when I looked up the best way to do it everyone said just dont get hit. I had to git gud i guess.
cyan stratus
@tough belfry where's the sub 13
cyan stratus
then go beat my monsoon time so i have incentive to run it again
slim lintel
well I would have just gotten a liek 13:30 on monsoon but got 2 dunestriders that decided to suck eachother off
cyan stratus
yea that comes with the job
tough belfry
13:55
cyan stratus
is it really that much harder on monsoon?
slim lintel
my hatred for alt distant roost is growing
slim lintel
I keep trying but idk how y'all have the mental fortitude to run oblit
vapid sierra
lol
cyan stratus
im just out here making free guides for whoever needs it, and he goes ahead and dislikes them
slim lintel
probably salty they can't do it + your description on every vid
vapid sierra
haters gotta hate
cyan stratus
oh right the description
maybe they get tilted after coming back from 3 hours of failing idk
vapid sierra
yeah probably
cyan stratus
im just telling the truth though
vapid sierra
I don't understand these guys, if you can't do it, just wait for another seed bruh
cyan stratus
well if anyone can't do it on this seed i dont think there's much hope
vapid sierra
lol
slim lintel
maybe its ShyGuy getting salty they have to keep coming in here pinning and unpinning every 3 days
vapid sierra
yep
oh and btw I was trying to do the ethereal challenge, but I failed 4 times, and the last one was because I destroyed a crystal without being with eviscerated
I just kinda of gived up after that lol
vapid merlin
Has to be salt
soft acorn
Just imagine
play PT every day for 3h+ trying to get ethereal
fail every time, ever since the trial launched
some veggie gets it done in under an hour and makes a routing tutorial
icy urchin
but with some pts it was stupidly easy
polar fern
but single wisp can RUIN EVERYTHING!
vapid sierra
wisp aren't that much poblem, unless you have like a horde of then
the poblem is rlly the bosses, or enemies like beetle guardian, that you can get easily hit using a melee character
indigo snow
Imagine some vegetal beating you in ethereal times
vapid sierra
lol
misty zealot
speedrunners HATE him, here’s how one local plant gets top ethereal times each seed with one simple trick.
misty zealot
my adsense bro
slim lintel
imagine playing not only dead game ror2, but dead game mode in dead game ror2 in 2020
misty zealot
dead game with an update coming next month
slim lintel
dad game
crisp dragon
Dead game? I think you misstook this game for cube world
swift shard
is there anyone running prismatic trials for console, the maps are the same the drops aren't.
slim lintel
we're all too poor to afford console the game and a recording thingy
warm wind
full tulip
HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO COMPLETE THIS AS MERC
it's bull
i can't be hit yet the time shards deal damage and the boss is invincible
worthy yarrow
Some trials are harder than others and with sherds you'd have to use Eviscerate so you don't get hit
full tulip
thanks
worthy yarrow
No problem!
indigo snow
dim valley
anybody who got above 2:51 (rank 64 atm) on prismatic trials without loader.. How?
icy urchin
probably with rex
dim valley
but how? loader can swing to the boss almost instantly and then pulverize it, how does rex outclass him in damage or mobility?
tepid lagoon
rex can deal a lot of damage consistently when holding m1 and spamming new m2
also new shift only 2s cd and it can also deal damage
untold fern
With Rex I just shift with the gravity lift to shoot me straight to the boss on the first stage, then stood on top of a wall where the beetle guards couldn't get me, also getting the backup magazine in one of the multi shops significantly increases DPS, the rest is just optimal movement with the shift.
tough belfry
should be possible with merc
indigo snow
Yuh
cyan stratus
vapid sierra
head stompers as the first item is very nice for the ethereal challenge
slim lintel
I'm surprised its from pokemon, sounds like it could easily be from one of the .5 touhou fighting games
solemn fiber
exactly
vapid sierra
sounds like some weird japonese cartoon music
slim lintel
ur a weird chinese soap opera
jovial osprey
dude black and white was my shit
gusty imp
this merc achiev is slaying me. Seems like this seed is not too friendly. Just one brooch on the first map, i heard there was a printer on one when it came out which makes it seem plausible
slim lintel
Theres been seeds that have 0 brooches that have been easier than trials with them
cyan stratus
there's a headset in a big chest that makes the trial completely free
gusty imp
any info beyond that? Does it do enough dmg to insta kill the boss?
cyan stratus
there are 2 bosses and the dunestrider spawn isn't good for the headset but if you grab the preon you can kill the 1st easily
and then just stomp the two bells for the 2nd stage
if you scroll up a bit i posted a video if you want
gusty imp
thank you!
looks tricky lol but yeah you sure did it
not getting hit for the first 1/2 of that first fight is hard, landing those stomps is hard
cyan stratus
nah, the stomps are homing to a certain degree so as long as you're somewhere above it you'll land on it
gusty imp
ah ok
cyan stratus
and nothing can really hit you during the 2nd fight because there are no wisps
gusty imp
so many enemies pile up in that lil cave on the first fight
plus he just throws pots at me when im above him
cyan stratus
just learn the attack pattern and use iframes when he attacks
and don't be scared to leave the cave if there are lemurians from both sides because you can't really predict the projectiles at that point
gusty imp
yea you make it look easy but i can barely get to the boss without getting hit
solemn fiber
play more
gusty imp
v helpful thanks
slim lintel
I mean thats really the only advice they can give, cabbage makes it look easy because he does it every 3 days so he's gotten extremely good at it over time
cyan stratus
yea you should look up my first ethereal runs those were a disaster
like when i didn't know how to kill a blazing stone titan so i camped on a hill with meteorite+kjaro and waited 10min
slim lintel
you should be grateful cabbage even went in to any more detail than "just don't get hit" because thats as much in to it as he'll usually get
cyan stratus
i always go out of my way to be helpful what do you mean
slim lintel

that unlock really depends on what stages you get

tough belfry
i beat ur monsoon igt by 2 seconds
not going to upload the video because it would be painful to watch
you probably already have a time that beat it but not uploaded anyway 
cyan stratus
nah i'd have to run it again, go upload it
thick knoll
How are people getting like 1 min runs in this?
slim lintel
rex can get 1:15-1:30~ pretty easy every trial any other char they are cheating
severe stream
Loader ez
slim lintel
loader low-key sucks due to item and proc reliance
they're an easy 2nd/3rd though depending on the seed
cyan stratus
1st last seed change my mind
slim lintel
how
cyan stratus
bc u quit after 3 attempts and it was pretty much a loader seed
slim lintel
nah
cyan stratus
i dont think rex could've gotten sub 2 if even sub 2:25 or w/e i got that trial
it took like 1:30 min to beat 1st boss
slim lintel
why, what even was it I can't remember
cyan stratus
the one with the beetle guards
this trial is kinda hard for merc challenge i may have to turn my brain on and actually find a good route
slim lintel
oh yeah I didnt even try rex on that trial but he was probably faster
cant you just firework printer spam s1 and HUD s2 pretty easily
solemn fiber
i shall wait for cabbage to post the video tomorrow
slim lintel
nvm apparently 3d printers are the only thing that always spawn at the same angle and the firework printer yeets stuff off the cliff
cyan stratus
you're wrong
slim lintel
nou
cyan stratus
im too bad for this trial im taking a break
got a midterm to study for instead
someone else go do it
solemn fiber
damn no cabbage #6 ;-;
#6 but cabbage didn't post a video because midterms so cry like the girl in the video
misty zealot
why is she crying eating a cabbage
quasi wigeon
yea im wondering the same
solemn fiber
if you were forced to eat a cabbage with a spoon and fork wouldn't you cry
misty zealot
is the cabbage good
civic lotus
I don't think a head of raw cabbage would be very good

since cabbage isnt doing a run here ya go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrVViUQScBg

tough belfry
what happened to the s1 boss my brain is too small for this
slim lintel
my guess is trials are spaghetti and if you kill awu it skips the boss or something
cyan stratus
yes
cyan stratus
that doesn't happen in base game i assume? haven't tried it out lol
i suppose it activates a 'boss killed' flag which skips it for prismatic trials or something since the boss is already dead
marble prism
Yeah I assumed it was specific to Prismatic Trial as well
drowsy comet
Worship unit doesn't skip the teleporter boss in base game, no
half kraken
i think they forgot to specify that it must be the teleporter boss, in prismatic trials
indigo snow
Ok thanks YouTube
Just start recommending me leafy green videos
@cyan stratus you did this
solemn fiber
of course he did
indigo snow
Always in my recommended
cyan stratus
wasn't me
zenith plinth
Oop
fiery linden
is that 6 hours?
worthy yarrow
I think it's 6 minutes 38 seconds
slim lintel
You think if ror2 did something like this it would cut down on cheaters at all?
One version of the game you can't put any mods on and one for putting mods on
idk if most cheaters are just using mods or are actually using cheat engine though
cyan stratus
no
slim lintel
commando's killing 6 crystals, making it to 2 teleporters, and killing 2 bosses 1 of which is elite in under 1 minute cheaters
indigo snow
I've done it legit but I'm not allowed to say how, why, when, or that I did to begin with
slim lintel
I'm going to sue cheatengine
limpid dove
I don't use cheat engine 
I realized you meant for Prismatic Trials times oops
crimson stream
that is nice to know
slim lintel
I haven't messed around with mods yet, are they packaged at all or could someone just easily open up a file and change the flag that disables trials
north anvil
I haven't touched modding for the game. Also I don't think most people use cheat engines. Im sure 80% of the playerbase has edited the player file in someway but idk about almost everyone having a cheat engine
I have however seen some people I won't name try using cheat engines in lobby's before to change their character in some way or use a 3rd party character, which sorta ruins the fun for the rest of the group. Only modding I really support atm are the quality of life mods i've seen like instant printers and such.
solemn fiber
how the hell do you use a 3rd party character
slim lintel
I mean people have made custom models for custom characters afaik, probably wouldnt be that hard to take a char from another game and slap it in there
north anvil
Yea it was invisible for me in the character select. Wasn't having any of it tbh. If someone wanted to use the Under Construction Character I keep hearing about that hidden in the game files sure knock yourself out. But a 3rd party character they were talking about no thanks
cyan stratus
solemn fiber
#7, in which this prismatic trial is very long.
slim lintel

had a fun run, one shot the blazing boss, was circling around to actually finish and an elite wisp spawned, shot in the second i was on cooldown

lyric trail
is it safe to assume the mercs with sub 2 min times are hacking?
slim lintel
It's double vagrant so theres a chance but I doubt they're legit
lyric trail
i tried it once with merc and i dont even see how they can reach the 2nd vagrant in that time
long way off for anyone but loader
slim lintel
did a bit of testing, def seems possible to get sub 2 merc this trial but it would require perfect yeets on both bosses and I suck at doing that so 
dapper raven
I'd say possible but difficult, would probably be a high 1 minute
slim lintel
Yeah, but again the mercs on the leaderboard have a 99.9% chance to have not done it legit
dapper raven
Oh yeah I'd agree with that.
cyan stratus
nobody would care enough to practice a sub2 time over and over without posting proof of their achievement anywhere
lyric trail
they are more like mid 1 minute range
slim lintel
tru
dapper raven
Maybe they didn't post it here?
cyan stratus
where else lol
dapper raven
Fair
slim lintel
what if they got banned from the discord tho or they're younger than 13
dapper raven
Also thanks Cabbage, with your guide I was finally able to go ethereal
cyan stratus
np
lyric trail
dapper raven
Could be, also could just be a private group. That said with the ease of faking times I'm never going to rule that out
cyan stratus
nobody lower than 8 is legit
slim lintel
oh yeah 1:30-40's def cheating it'd be a close sub2
lyric trail
how on earth could rex lmao
cyan stratus
?
dapper raven
Luck with kajaro
lyric trail
they cant even move fast enough to get to the teles
slim lintel
rex gets like sub 1:30 every trial if me or cabbage actually play it
cyan stratus
u say that and then refuse to run the beetle guard trial
slim lintel
I havent ran any trial for a long while at this point
lyric trail
ah, i guess im forgetting they have ranged
cyan stratus
guess we're both retired now
slim lintel
rex also has the 2nd best mobility in the game
dapper raven
Ranged and their shift is good for movement
cyan stratus
if you want rex runs i used to upload a bunch in the past
slim lintel
same
dapper raven
Might check that out, have enjoyed rex in the past and it'd be neat to see if there's anything I can improve on
lyric trail
how would you proc kjaros to get max damage with rex?
dapper raven
secondary
cyan stratus
?
lyric trail
ok
dapper raven
And luck
slim lintel
here's a 1:11 rex run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl8iRNKtFXU
no proc rng
and I think I got a bit faster that trial, my first few seconds were still a bit unoptimized at that point
cyan stratus
misleading description but good run overall
slim lintel
dapper raven
Ok, damn. Forgot they could deal with crystals at a distance and didn't even consider that the air jets would work with that. Also neat to see the crystal being used for added knockback
cyan stratus
this was my favorite trial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4-nLhZ_9gM
actually required tech
slim lintel
I like the chain vase one better, unless thats the same one I can't remember
cyan stratus
i remember that one lol
where u said sub 2 wasn't possible and i got like 1:53 10 seconds later
slim lintel
cyan stratus
idk if i even have that one uploaded, probably not
slim lintel
I think it's a clip on my twitch I can't remember
lyric trail
there needs to be a replay feature for top scoring runs in prismatic
slim lintel
that'd require a lot of work and trials dont get that even though it seems the upcoming update is actually at least doing a bit
slim lintel
I only liked the chain vase, and only because it was so stupid
cyan stratus
yea the only interesting thing about trials back then was finding ways to deal with that cave
either you spawned in it or had to get in it
since rex can fly cross-map for any other trial
dapper raven
I would agree that it would be nice for the game to have native replay. I remember there was this bike parkour game that was fascinating for that very thing, being able to see just what ridiculous thing was needed to get in a top spot.
Also made cheaters way more obvious
cyan stratus
replays + rewards for top times would bring a spike of popularity to trials
slim lintel
trials?
dapper raven
I think that was it
slim lintel
like the motocross game
dapper raven
Yeah, that was it. Mainly watched someone play it but it looked interesting at least
slim lintel
being able to play with ghosts would be dank
lyric trail
lol, that vase tho
cyan stratus
until the ghost gets 3 kjaro procs in a row
cyan stratus
but yea i missed the first couple trials where we optimized it completely as mult, would be nice to bring that back somehow
slim lintel
"we" I never played mult lol
cyan stratus
ok did u enjoy relying on a jumping golem to get a good time
slim lintel
I don't think I ever finished a trial as mult
how dare you insult mr jumpy like that
lyric trail
and here i was thinking loader was the op speedrunner
cyan stratus
loader was the best 2 trials ago
and since nobody proved me wrong i take that to be fact
3 trials ago*
slim lintel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9aCBNOerpM remember when you said that about this trial but I ended up beating it 2 seconds faster with rex anyways
dapper raven
Wow, chainvase is some beautiful jank
cyan stratus
ok but your loader gameplay is uhhh
slim lintel
I spent so much time looking for something stupid to do with the vase then I found that chain, then cabbage optimized it by puffing out of the thing out of bounds
yeah my loader was absolute trash back then, now its just trash
cyan stratus
nah aren't you that famous risk of rain 2 celestial ending co-op world record holder
cyan stratus
speaking of which did you ever complete an all char unlock% run
slim lintel
nah
I gave up as soon as I realized it was just 2 obliteration loader runs with extra steps
slim lintel
oh yeah that makes it so much better
dapper raven
Engineer looks like it would really bog it down
cyan stratus
yea that part extends the run quite a bit
it's just stage rushing as loader at that point
slim lintel
cyan stratus
hey it's not so bad if you're watching something on a second monitor
yeah i had to run 1 hour of loader but i only paid attention for 10% of that
slim lintel
I can't stand having stuff play on my second monitor while playing 3d games, I have a 144hz and a crappy old 60hz and windows 10 doesnt like that so games feel all jittery and weird if I do that
cyan stratus
same here but no issues?
slim lintel
not everyone gets it for some reason but also some people just don't notice it but I feel like you would
cyan stratus
well i play ror2 on 60fps but other stuff like some fps games at 144+ so i'd notice
cyan stratus
how do you know it was only that one trial?
are you talking about crabs or crystals or both
slim lintel
after that trial I set my fps back up and havent noticed us having any deviations since
I think the crystal jumping thing was all in my head
slim lintel
have you watched our old vids? None of that was remotely well optimized sometimes
its pretty cringe
cyan stratus
the first couple trials were
like i believe trial #5
and then there was one where we really went at it when i got 1:41 rex
slim lintel
well my arti runs were for a good while, but thats partially because arti had stuff like nano boost that I hadnt found yet
which is also really stupid because I had it in my mind ever since the mr jumpy trial (or one similar I can't remember) because we'd jump straight up the cliffside and shoot ourselves on top with a nano but I just never tried using it to really boost a jump for some reason until way later
cyan stratus
yea there's plenty of stuff that we have and haven't found which we would eventually find if people actually cared about trials
which is why if there was some sort of reward i think people would be more interested
slim lintel
idk if there's a lot we missed tbh
we never even figured out how to do the slide thing consistently or what caused it
cyan stratus
we didn't know how good crowdfunder was for a while
slim lintel
except that one or two trials where you could do it fairly consistent with mult
cyan stratus
yeah i used the slide thing in some trials
but if rng was nullified somehow and there were much more people b/c rewards i think we'd see some crazy stuff like drone boosting or chrysalis tech
slim lintel
chrysalis tech?
cyan stratus
flying equipment
slim lintel
yeah but like idk how thats factoring in here rex can do the thingy with it and it's generally the best thing to do if its not out of the way to get
and rex makes droneboosting pointless
cyan stratus
yeah after the loadout change maybe
i guess rex kinda removes the need for stuff like that
but geyser boosting is still interesting
slim lintel
yeah geyser boosting is fun
if arti didnt have such a long cd + charge up time on her m2 she could do some reeaaaaallly wacky stuff with geysers it'd be sick
it can get real crazy with hover
like you can precisely turn at a 90 degree point with m2 and gain speed and zip around maps
cyan stratus
yea but what's the point when rex can do it faster and also nuke bosses
slim lintel
yeah
rex really took all the finesse out of trials, other than the fun geyser stuff that can be a bit tricky
soft acorn
The dream is nuking pt bosses with acrid's leap, alas even if you could you need to 2-tap crystals with M2 over time... same story with loader
tough belfry
i have seen you saying that it's a double vagrant trial and i am ready to spend 5 hours resetting
slim lintel
it's swamp map of course the crystals suck
cyan stratus
u cant do blazing jellyfish slam nohit
tough belfry
at least not in the time you have
i'm pretty sure if you do it fast enough you can slam it without getting hit
cyan stratus
no
cyan stratus
proof or it didn't happen
i tried it a grand total of 2 times and decided it wasn't possible
tough belfry
i'll try to get a better video where i don't dash into it again after
ok yes it is possible
cyan stratus
interesting
tough belfry
now i just need to get it consistent from the spawning position
and then do it in under 30 seconds with a perfect s1
cyan stratus
consider me surprised i guess i thought you needed a different angle to slam it like that
solemn fiber
slam + iframe = yes
cyan stratus
@tough belfry i added a link to your video in my description get ready for double digit views soon
tough belfry
thank you for helping me achieve my dream of being famous
i've convinced myself that if you just spam dash you can't take damage
tough belfry
honestly might as well wait until artifacts before trying to beat it
cyan stratus
meh it didn't sit well with me that you technically beat my time
and i didn't like how unoptimized my time was
tough belfry
command will make resetting for crowdfunder so much easier
cyan stratus
i didn't even get crowdfunder lmao
tough belfry
ok i will try before the update then
cyan stratus
ok
tough belfry
but i will probably not beat it
cyan stratus
is my monsoon time actually faster than anyone's drizzle time
tough belfry
dead game
slim lintel
dad game
limpid fjord
slim lintel
are artifacts allowed in ror1 speedrunning?
cyan stratus
yes
slim lintel
well command will definitely make getting backup mags and crowdfunder a more consistent
backup mag lowkey just as good if not better than cf
icy urchin
isn't ror1 speedrunning basically abusing bandit?
slim lintel
yeah
tough belfry
ror1 speedrunning is way better because there's a boss to take items for
and an out of bounds strat thing which is cool
tough belfry
i'll beat your monsoon time first since that's easier
cyan stratus
why not sub 13 monsoon

so
im doing the merc trial that ive been putting of for forever

yo can someone quickly help me out
how does cabbage do that much damage to the jellyfish?
i've done it a couple of times myself but i can't repeat
slim lintel
yeet it
vale swallow
bruh
i know it's something do to with terrain and stuff
just try and shifting them into a wall/ground?
i've tried that but doesn't seem to work
limpid dove
if i remember right, you splat them by hitting them with the very end of your shift
slim lintel
penetrate them with your forced vore move and they'll try to get away from the cringe and slam in to a wall
limpid dove
speaking of splatting
will that ever be removed? or not since of it's difficulty on how to pull it off?
slim lintel
it might get nerfed it might not
limpid dove
part of me hopes not cuz it's quite hard to pull off
maybe a dev can bring it up and say 'yeah that's getting removed in artifacts lmao'
slim lintel
it's really not that hard to pull off, and the fact you can cheese sirens for a free red by 1shotting awu is pretty broken
especially since awu is the easiest enemy to do it on
limpid dove
i probably just haven't gotten it down

@cyan stratus yo any advice for if i dont get that active or should i reset
untold aurora
Was trying to get the mercenary unlock and the second stage was the one with the solus control unit from the eggs and I had will o wisp then it summoned a blazing solus control unit it was the best thing ever
turbid quiver
im so bad man i just cant get this shit
how do i do that shift thing into the jellfish boss that chunks it
tribal hamlet
im so close to sub 3 min with loader
solemn fiber
rex is better at this than loader
slim lintel
unless you're a clown like cabbage and think loader is better for some reason
tribal hamlet
loader is fun tho
tribal hamlet
2:41 bois
tribal hamlet
are thare still some hackers?
vapid sierra
probably, but I think they stopped, most of then atleast, because unless you're really wanna see how fast can you go with mods and stuff, there's no reason to you be doing that
tribal hamlet
yea thats what i thought
tribal hamlet
do you use any of the different skills you can unlock or just the basic stuff
tough belfry
basic
tribal hamlet
ok cool
slim lintel
are you getting a loader slam on vagrant?
tough belfry
no i rushed a really unoptimised run so the guy had something to compete with
it could probably go >10 seconds faster
faster with crit rng
idk how to slam with loader
even if i get it to go into the ground it doesn't take damage
slim lintel
pretty sure sub2 is possible
tough belfry
with slam?
cyan stratus
inconsistent
tough belfry
ok nice i just suck then
slim lintel
extremely sloppy but crit both of the overloading wisps
wasted at least 5 seconds overshooting a couple crystals
cyan stratus
i got 2:19 first attempt without slamming the vagrant
slim lintel
I havent gotten the vagrant to slam a single time yet
slim lintel
what all are y'all picking up? I'm getting the glass crowbar and crystal from s1
cyan stratus
im sorry glass?
tough belfry
crowbar and crystal didn't know about glass
slim lintel
the crit ones not the broken blue shit
cyan stratus
i just slammed the vagrant so hard against the wall it turned upside down and took 0 damage
slim lintel
doesnt alt punch gimp mobility a fair bit
tough belfry
don't need much mobility
since you have to kill crystals anyway
and it saves quite a lot of time on vagrant i think
slim lintel
but default can kill and go through crystals saving a ton of time
idk how I'd even route with the alt one
cyan stratus
s1 activation times?
tough belfry
alt punch loses to s2 boss though
slim lintel
if I use pylon for mobility and dont try for slam probably like 27s~
cyan stratus
im 21s with glasses
slim lintel
alright well I'm done HoM is 🦀 and AI is stoopid
tribal hamlet
i got realy bad at going fast after not playing since like the 10th tral lol
trial
tribal hamlet
cabbage how do you spawn the first boss so fast
cyan stratus
by going fast
cyan stratus
i use grapple then punch then open chest then pylon grapple punch grapple punch grapple
slim lintel
how did no one beat my 2:09
cyan stratus
i was resetting every time i failed vagrant slam which was 100%
cyan stratus
@slim lintel i beat ur 2:09 with a crit go beat it
slim lintel
nah idc
cyan stratus
ok
cyan stratus
@tough belfry why dont u post ur runs i wanna see the 13:22 or w/e time u got on monsoon
tough belfry
i'll post it but not much point if it didn't beat your time when that's what i'm trying to do
cyan stratus
yea but then there isn't a 1min gap btwn 1st and 2nd
and ur already 2nd in normal ce so why not also monsoon
quaint cove
Has anyone done a route for Mercenary's prismatic trial thing in the current setup? They really gave us nothing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ397UmVH9c this trial basically plays itself
regal zodiac
i beat that time, but i still dont have ethereal, nice job!
cyan stratus
yea i wasnt going for speed
solemn fiber
#9
regal zodiac
thank you
cyan stratus
btw is ur pfp from ds
cyan stratus
neat game i used to play it a lot back in the day
regal zodiac
ive played for a combined total of 70 hours
cyan stratus
played like 400h with a friend and died a lot
regal zodiac
nice
regal zodiac
agreed
cyan stratus
except those underground monkeys
regal zodiac
they mean
slim lintel
your freelancing design works like motion graphics videos, 3d modelling, graphic design works suck
slim lintel
is that using stompers or nah
cyan stratus
no i just slammed both vagrants
slim lintel
wah
cyan stratus
btw if you try to beat my time you'll run into a specific bit of rng which i'll leave up to you to find 🙃
slim lintel
I literally have no idea what you're doing, especially if you're getting vagrants
cyan stratus
i just use wisp drift rng for arbitrary code execution to seed the directors which allows for a vagrant to spawn when the teleporter's spikes spawn at the right angle
slim lintel
what
cyan stratus
so the wisps spawn around 23 seconds
night rock
여기 한국인은 없나유
cyan stratus
yeah he explains it pretty well
slim lintel
wait vagrants cant even spawn on desert map
cyan stratus
i think i can get <1:15
slim lintel
what even are you doing
cyan stratus
getting a sub 43 s1 pause
slim lintel
can you yeet tf outta dunestriders with loader or somethin
zenith plinth
i gotta give this a try
slim lintel
what crystals are you killing s1? I can't find anything effecient
slim lintel
is it crits or what idk what voodoo you're pulling here
pretty sure rex is as fast/faster without rng too
cyan stratus
no
slim lintel
yeah
cyan stratus
yea this 2nd boss is absolute garbage
slim lintel
y
cyan stratus
stomping beetle guard doesn't do dmg if it targets automatically since it tends to target the wrong part
slim lintel
rex can def beat loader but I take back the no rng thing, it's probably worse rng than loader
cyan stratus
if anyone gets sub 1:15 as loader i will be very extremely impressed
slim lintel
upload a vid and I'll try, I have literally no idea what you're doing though
and not one of your cabbified videos
cyan stratus
following my route blindly stifles innovation
slim lintel
I can't even one shot the boss with ap rounds and headstompers bro vid or ur cheating
cyan stratus
wtf are you doing
slim lintel
wtf are you doing
like literally I either hit the skybox and tele to the ground or it doesnt do nearly enough damage
slim lintel
wheres a crowbar
slim lintel
I didnt watch that
how the hell are you getting 43s s1s
have I ever mentioned I hate loader
rich estuary
:(
cyan stratus
sub 43 s1 is very optimized
cyan stratus
if i post a 42.5s1 will you get the sub 1:15
slim lintel
no I'm done with trials until next update, and if they dont make some nice changes then I'm completely out. And I probably wont play trials much when the update comes 'cus I'll be busy filling my island with froggy chairs in the new AC game
cyan stratus
ur gonna be back in 3 hours
slim lintel
nah
cyan stratus
after playing this trial for 2 hours straight i challenge anyone to get sub 1:15 as loader this trial
worthy cliff
is this one any good ?
hard moth
Actually, is it easier to speedrun Prism for Ethereal or take your time and kill the threats?
slim lintel
less time = less chances to get hit
limpid dove
Can't get hit if you iframe through everything 
worthy cliff
Can anyone answer me plz
icy urchin
worthy cliff
Is that considered ez though? Like should I wait for another trial ? of course cabby boi makes it look ez
slim lintel
its shaped glass levels of braindead if not even more braindead
worthy cliff
ok thanks
stiff salmon
for the prismatic trial achivement for merc, do you have to use i frames when breaking crystals? since they hurt you?
(if i make a stupid errors its because ive never done a prismatic trial)
little wadi
Yes, you do
stiff salmon
does whirlwind give iframes? because im watching cabbage's video for this run and he uses it right next to the crystal but doesnt get hurt?
soft acorn
@cyan stratus clip of the loader route?
cyan stratus
no
stiff salmon
@cyan stratus in reference to the most recent prismatic trial run, (merc route) how in the world di the jump from that hight on the second stage 1 hit the queen? I was jumpin from the same height and i only did half its hp? with the same items? any idea why?
(Sorry for ping)
cyan stratus
it's rng
stiff salmon
...
cyan stratus
when you land on it it might do much less, then just go back up
stiff salmon
oh
cyan stratus
it depends on where you land
cyan stratus
thanks for the ping
cyan stratus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOBVBal42hQ&feature=youtu.be this is a very bad run im posting here so someone can go grind sub 1:15
solemn fiber
#9.5 because its actually a speedrun for prismatic trials and not merc
slim lintel
no ones gonna do it cabbage
cyan stratus
):
slim lintel
I still think rex is faster you just have to get insanely lucky with R's and boops on the strider to get it in the hole in a timely manner
or even just killing it with lucky band procs
indigo snow
cyan stratus
i posted ethereal like 7 months ago
zenith plinth
you guys got any tips?
what is this all about
is it like a single stage or a whole run
icy urchin
pts only have 2 stages
the tp charges fully after killing the tp boss so you want to focus on getting that
icy urchin
you need to destroy at least 3 of those before you can activate the tp (you can see that in the objectives)
the crystals give out money when destroyed, but they do do some minor dmg if you are in melee range to them
zenith plinth
ok
icy urchin
during pts all item spawns are fixed
icy urchin
so if you get idk, a medkit from a chest, every time you restart the pt, that chest will always give that medkit
icy urchin
they cost money just as normally
zenith plinth
trash not worth
icy urchin
but during pts you start with 50
and the crystals give out money so you can buy a few things
zenith plinth
guess they are worth if they are in the way
icy urchin
depends what you want to do with pt: are you speedrunning? just trying to unlock the 
? or looking to do merc's ethereal?
indigo snow
pt% dead until updoot
Here's hoping they get some welcome additions
or QoL at least
worthy cliff
Is it still the head stomper seed ? How much times left ?

it was 3/3 and today is 3/5 so 2 days???
slim lintel
gameing
tough belfry
beetle queen sucks i'm not trying it
cyan stratus
yea this would be really fun to grind as loader if that didn't exist
wanton helm
@cyan stratus okay instead of Merc ethereal for every run, you should challenge yourself to do anno hit run for all characters but rex
cyan stratus
no
vapid sierra
yes
wanton helm
Why not
cyan stratus
no reason to
vapid sierra
the reason is challenge
wanton helm
I mean yeah, just like a video idea ;-; and no, I'm a risk o rain 1 runner
vapid sierra
I mean if I were good on RoR2
I would do it
cyan stratus
runner?
wanton helm
Speedrunner
cyan stratus
neat
wanton helm
Yeah
cyan stratus
ok
wanton helm
I don't wanna hurt my wrists doing loader speed tech non stop
slim lintel
loader doesnt hurt wrists rex does
dapper raven
Anyone can hurt wrists depending how you do it
Could see a lot of flicks as loader being strenuous.
slim lintel
not a lot of flicking as load especially this trial
dapper raven
Fair, just adding in an argument for how wrists may get hurt.
slim lintel
rex has to 180 flick every 2 seconds and spam m2 nonstop
dapper raven
Adding in the slight additional strain of having to resprint every time if you want to maintain top speed.
dapper raven
It is just pressing a button true but over a long enough session it too can become a source of pain, even if it still is muscle memory. Not saying it's the end of the world but it is something.
wanton helm
Sprinting after ability is memory u learn with time
cyan stratus
why does nobody want to run loader this trial
slim lintel
why would they
cyan stratus
s1 is really fun to optimize
slim lintel
ur definition of fun is unfun to me
pearl onyx
I want you to run loader this trial
cyan stratus
why dont you run loader this trial
slim lintel
why did you run loader this trial
limpid dove
cuz she's speed
indigo snow
wrists hurt from osu
slim lintel
osu is dead play speen rhythm
slim lintel
I'm too poverty to afford vr
indigo snow
I'm sorry for your loss
Sayonara Wild Hearts great for one play through
If you haven't experienced it
slim lintel
I don't think I'd like it
indigo snow
Rip you tbh
slim lintel
honestly I could afford vr but I'm waiting for it to get a lot better and making sure its not a little fad thats going to go away in a few years
limpid dove
i heard it's actually kinda decent right now
at least the vr headset and games brutalmoose reviewed
turbid quiver
cabbage you do merc without getting hit today
deep sonnet
finally did the mercenary without hit \o/ only challenge who gave me difficulty but gosh, a lot of them
cyan stratus
yes
zenith plinth
what do i need to hit top 10%
slim lintel
idk probably pretty easy like sub 3min
slim lintel
no
cyan stratus
i'll paypal u $1
slim lintel
I wouldn't even do it for $1000
tough belfry
thats why you can't get vr
cyan stratus
lmao gotem
indigo snow
roast
cyan stratus
well this seed is uhh
slim lintel
idk wasnt paying attention to time
seems like going slower ~5mins give you 1 overloading
oh theres a preon lol
yeah you can double preon 2nd boss ez trial
cyan stratus
double preon an overloading templar 🤔
slim lintel
yeah?
whats wrong with that
prefire the first one then use your dashes to stun it while the second one is charging
cyan stratus
lol
slim lintel
am I stupid and missing something
cyan stratus
brain
slim lintel
?
cyan stratus
u want to stunlock an overloading templar while wisps are spawning
i already did it a different way
w/the horde of many instead it's easy
slim lintel
Day #1 of posting this before vulfoof because I'm unoriginal
solemn fiber

why not post the cabbage guy off of Avatar the last airbender?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrT40xq6QXY please this is the original
golden root
why the fuck do you keep sending cabbage in here
slim lintel
you wouldnt understand
solemn fiber
@golden root ive done it 10 times
seeing as cabbage posts a new vid every 3 days, thats a whole month of me doin it
and i only do it cus hes cabbage
golden root
i guess i dont understand
cyan stratus
yea i didnt have iframes so i had to use timing
austere sinew
Thanks for the video Cabbage! Just got it following your route, but I went for the fuel cell for a second preon shot.
cyan stratus
np
viscid nebula
how did you one shot the last boss?
I've tried the same thing and it only cuts his HP in half
oh wait actaully that part's fine now, I'm honestly just struggling on the titan bit
I keep getting shot in the back by fireballs
is there a trick I can use there other than get gud?
cyan stratus
use WASD to not get hit
slim lintel
its always been 2 stages since forever
slim lintel
no one does, no one cares about trials
livid vine
mean its only cause there is no reward for it
plus leaderboard system could use some work
maybe with the addition of artifacts will make trials more interesting
slim lintel
cool
soft acorn
Hopoo pls add coin rewards for doing trials under 3 min, I'm poor
Or the old rex skin as an exclusive reward
cyan stratus
they should reward an amount of lunar coins equal to the number you placed on the leaderboards
clever mountain
first place gets one
solemn fiber
lol
maybe top 20 type style, so 20th place gets 1 while #1 get 1
it'd also cause incentive to stop cheaters
slim lintel
I dont think cheaters care about gaining lunars they probably already have 9980839476242 of
drifting hemlock
or anyone for that matter
slim lintel
cheating in lunar coins is small pp energy
carmine mural
Yeah giving lunars for Prismatic Trials would be cool.
At least as a temporary thing.
If you base it on time instead of leaderboard placement, you could disregard the cheating problem.
20 coins for 2 minutes and then - 5 coins for every minute, with a minimum of 1-3 maybe.
clever mountain
cabbage appeared on my recommended tab lol
cyan stratus
clever mountain
gotchu b
cyan stratus
didn't even ring the bell smh
slim lintel
tfw sometimes cabbages vids are in recommended next to my vids but mine are never there for his
drifting hemlock
tfw u dont watch cabbage nor have an intention to
cyan stratus
thats ok i just upload for people who need ethereal achievement
not trying to get people to watch my videos or anything
otherwise i would spam them in #ror-streams-and-videos
slim lintel
smh you need to learn how to be a sellout
soft acorn
Honestly if anything if they add a performance based reward for prismatic, there will be more chaeters
but i think the increase in casuals trying it out is worth cabbage and ifw dropping down a few spots on average
slim lintel
Anything more than lunar coins (and probably even lunar coins) would do nothing but hurt trials. People already bitch about having to clear a single trial for scythe, imagine having to actually get good at them to unlock a skin or something
soft acorn
ive never heard anyone bitch about scythe, Ethereal on the other hand.....
viscid nebula
does shield taking damage on the shield gen count as having my health fall under 100%?
cuz I finished it with having only taken slight damage on shields and it didin't give it to me
worthy cliff
Yep
Only barriers dont count as hp
Hp and health are different I think
In this game
viscid nebula
damn it... so that means I can't take any damage whatsoever... I guess I'll wait for an easier seed I thought I had it here but...
that's really disappointing to say the least
worthy cliff
Yeah this shits tough
cyan stratus
this seed is very easy compared to some other ones
there's still like 13 minutes if you still need it
worthy cliff
Easy for you to say cabbage
cyan stratus
im saying objectively compared to other seeds
worthy cliff
Oh wait this is a different seed, I thought it was still the hell as s1
Ah no it is I'm dumb
I tried it but the titans turret thingy kept whacking me
cyan stratus
be in the air when it shoots
otherwise the aoe gets you as it hits the ground
it's just a pattern, once you get it once you get it every time
worthy cliff
Ah, thanks for the help. Cant try it out rn sadly though :/

this one is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
modest scaffold
Cabbage. I LOVE YOU. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH 
cyan stratus
np
modest scaffold
I was sweating bullets on the 2nd stage to click the teleporter because it was overrun xD
cyan stratus
as long as there aren't wisps you're fine
modest scaffold
there were 10 xD
cyan stratus
then you better have missile launcher and cooldowns
modest scaffold
I used missile launcher and took a lap around the stone structure and missiled them a 2nd time for extra safety
cyan stratus
yea i dont have the patience for that i would've probably just triple dashed through the tele and hid behind a pillar
modest scaffold
ahh, I didn't have the nerves to attempt another time, so I waited xD
But thank you very much sir
cyan stratus

graceful pendant
is it even possible to do that mercenary challenge with the prismatic trail, I get 3 topaz a personal shield take what i think is no damage but still dont achieve it, do sheilds count as health because thats stupid if they do.
soft acorn
Shield is hp, barrier is not
viscid nebula
wow...
I never knew killing dunestriders was that stupidly easy. I knew you could boop them into those holes but I never thought they followed you into them
vapid sierra
Shield is probably counted as HP because they have OSP, I think idk
imo it makes sense
also shields are permanent, they work like health items, like pearls by example, soo yeah
little wadi
Shields definitely count as health, barrier does not count to your maximum health
graceful pendant
i get the topaz but i just dont understand why im not getting the challenge complete like im not taking damage from what i can see
anyone got any helpful tips ?
graceful pendant
i did it im the best holy damn, i dont think ive focused so hard before
fading patrol
is it a good strat to go to Blue portal and then twisted roots to get another Vagrant as 2nd Boss?
tough belfry
depends what elite it is
fading patrol
overloading
tough belfry
yeah you could probably do that
fading patrol
okay update i just got the achievment so yeah it's worth trying
viscid nebula
Thank god... idk why that took me so many tries but it's finally done... I took the blue portal, activated two turrets and hid
dapper raven
I do enjoy prismatic trials but I will be sad if the 10% reward is one of the artifacts
Even if that would drive more people to attempt them
slim lintel
there's an absolute 0% chance that the 10% reward will ever even exist in the first place so don't worry about it
vapid merlin
^
soft acorn
||Then devs swung back and made the toughest artifact the 10% challnege||
soft acorn
what the actual F
cyan stratus
that's been happening since start of trials
flat comet
Also right now if you go blue portal and choose abandoned aqueduct it's a stone golem event, makes the mercenary achievement easy.
slim lintel
👀
soft acorn
first time ive encountered it, that was also my first trial of this run so who knows
dusty crescent
How to are you supposed to do a trial and get top 10% with a plethora of hackers?
soft acorn
because a ton of people try to get etheral all the time
you can easily get in top 30 without any skill
soft acorn
get rex
hold shift and space
destroy crystals and rush boss
be done in under 2:30 on all PTs
slim lintel
be done in under 2:30 on all PTs
I think you mean be done in under 1:45 every trial
soft acorn
i said no skill involved, no pathing no jumo technique
try trialing on LSD to c what i mean
slim lintel
no way to tell because they let the cheaters win and locked the leaderboards a long time ago
I don't do drugs I'm a clean boi frik u

any high acrid routes?
i know acrid isn't optimal I just wanna see who can do it the best with that character?
vapid sierra
you probably just wanna lots of like, crowbars, daggers or things like that idk
