turret hard to hit wisp?
#prismatic-trials
fast bane
fast bane
which stage?
prime snow
looking around map1 for items
prime snow
id recommend firework
im lookign around, theres an energy can in a small back towards where you first spawned in relation to teleporter and the large chest too
theres a trishop in a corner that also has a can, theres an equip barrel with wings
fast bane
found the guillotine, and also get that intended bomb suicide with huntress holding down mouse click lmao
prime snow
all other map drops are trash
royal bane
no I meant the turrets hit the wisps hard
prime snow
grab guillotine and huntress m1 should carry you
dont even need to hide for map1 teleport with it
the only run i didnt back out to menu on was my ethereal, almost 200 place now lmao
fast bane
it seems if i take the equipment near spawn, the monster getting more aggresive than if i dont
fast bane
how is the difficulty to do ethereal mercenary with this trial?
or is it possible? since our health is modified
prime snow
Its really easy
You can pretty much just follow cabbages vid and get it in a couple tries
fresh jolt
can u link vid
prime snow
Map 2 just make sure you always have one of your skills up and the jellies will literally never be able to keep up with you

finally beat it. hearing about the missile drone helped a lot.
prime snow
Route works for most characters, biggest problem you'll run into is in first 20 seconds
tawdry knoll
missile drone made it way easier
prime snow
nj
tawdry knoll
thanks
prime snow
To note about the hide
Id say he got lucky in vid, I had to spam my abilities after I dropped off cause wisps clumped in a weird spot
Just listen out for them and be careful
quaint cove
Thank you so much @cyan stratus I finally achieved Ethereal. <3

oh dang, here's my chance to work on 100%
abstract fog
help guys. icant finish a prismatic trial
dusk hearth
if you don't need mercenary challenge on it and just want the scythe, engineer/huntress are easier imo, just grab the missile drone early and it'll deal with most of the wisps
just did the merc challenge with the help of the video though, I haven't played merc so thought it'd be harder than it was, took a few tries and failed a bunch of runs to burning elites but got it in the end
wary shuttle
Finally got Etheral
thorny forum
how are people doing the trial so fast? I got 4:18 with huntress running straight to teleporters and could save maybe a few more seconds, but #22 is already 4:11 so there must be something I'm missing right? Is there a way to get to or complete the teleporter faster?
cold orchid
cabbage does in 4:00
thorny forum
ohh I just realised, huntress' alternate utility is probably faster
I don't have it unlocked yet 😐

It is quite hard and need big luck to do ethereal in this easy trial in general
icy gust
@thorny forum i find huntress's triple blink better for dodging. you lose some of the mobility of vertical blinking but gain dodging ability
thorny forum
Yeah but for the trial specifically, I have no trouble surviving/killing everything before the teleporter finishes anyway
it's getting to the teleporter that I need to do faster somehow lol
tough belfry
triple blink is faster
thorny forum
alright, guess I'll have to get lucky and find a crowbar printer
or have a long run and get lucky to find 12 crowbars lol
icy gust
tbh artifact of command can make monsoon p easy even
neon prism
bUT, if you want to have fun
i'd recommend turning on sacrifice with command, going monsoon, and just ascending to godhood before the crowbars
its at least a bit more fun
icy gust
if youre huntress invest in like
neon prism
crowbars
icy gust
4 topaz brooch, a couple guillotine and some sticky bombs before crowbars
maybe spare mags
neon prism
spare mags with some wisps make most levels a joke tbh
icy gust
topaz brooch makes a lot of stuff a joke tbh
neon prism
just m2 a group of enemies and watch the universe explode
yeah also get some topaz brooches if you dont kill everything on the stage in 3 glaives
icy gust
stack like topaz brooch and spare mags and you'll be p survivable
command is how i got my monsoon huntress run
neon prism
after that, a guillotine or two to cut down some elite nuisances, and uuuuuu wisp stack ig, makes the world explode, as previously said
icy gust
if you get hold of aegis, stack crit and harvester scythes
neon prism
then again, it is command, so you become pretty immortal after a stage or two

crimson needle
Hello! Any tips for Ethereal during this trials? Is it just trial and error or I gotta do some really specific stuff to get through? I've been trying for hours, but the wisps always seem to insta-fire when they spawn, giving me no chance to react.
crimson needle
I have, even trying his strategy, it still feels like wisps are random, being completely passive at some times, and being a literal 12 wisp firing squad at the other.
tough belfry
you shouldn't have to deal with any wisps with that route though
the first ones are always in the same place, you preon the boss, then you hide until tele is done
rose path
I got hit in the last second as merc
just after hitting the tp to finish the run
I really didn't think that fire jellyfish would catch up before my dash went off cd
crimson needle
The 2 wisps that spawn above the tri-shop sometimes divert beyond range of 1 blinding assault, making you spend more time and the CD not being back before the fire wisp spawns
tough belfry
i haven't actually tried it ethereal but if it's something right at the start you can just reset until you get it how you want it
drifting heron
when i did it i found 3 wisps spawing there and i just killed each one with one dash
rose path
Yeah, there's a third wisp that can randomly spawn with the other 2 near the shop or behind you
drifting heron
then i used M2 to avoid fall damage, got the fireworks and r the to crystal
dusk hearth
I did it differently personally, went for the drone behind at the start, takes longer, but the drone kills a bunch of stuff so you only have to kill stuff that spawns in firing range
also wisps will sometimes aggro the drone instead
crimson needle
Oh, considering I need 3 wisp kills for the drone, the strategy is to kill the first three, get the drone and rush to the teleporter?
drifting heron
theres the preon which is super good
the tendrils 1 shot the boss, then you can just hide in the hole as showon in cabbage's video
rose path
you know jellyfish are actually faster than they look like when you're not looking at them
crimson needle
I know, I did that already, but a random wisp came in and shot me in the hole
drifting heron
i dont think that usually happens so it might be just bad luck
dusk hearth
for the drone, you kill the crystal close to it
crystal+the wisp that spawns next to it is enough to get the drone money
then by the time you reach the multi and equipement, you can buy both(mostly drone killing), mind you I don't know if it's any better, just felt it was easier like that
rose path
there's a lot of luck involved with wisps spawning somewhere else and their wandering
sometimes there's like 2 wisps remaining after I get out of the hole and sometimes there's 7 floating around
dusk hearth
that's why I like the drone, you go in the hole and then everything's dead
rose path
the final jellyfish can also spawn very afar from eachother making the preon shot kinda missy
where's this drone you speak of
dusk hearth
tbh it's more useful for stage 1 than 2, but yeah even on 2 it's useful
you can get 2 more on stage 2, army of drones
rose path
I feel like if you miss just 1 second, wisps will pile up super fast
dusk hearth
the drone can kill 2 wisps per volley(although missiles will sometimes loop around them and shit), so it's easy to keep them down tbh
rose path
to think that I had this done and got hit by a jellyfish while the tp was finishing the little animation
uuuuh
I got hit by a fire elite trail while using the dash?
plush sigil
Not all of the dash has i-frames
rose path
crimson needle
also be careful with overloaded wisps, they can stick the lightning bombs to you even while you're dashing
rose path
most of my fails are either at the start of the run, after getting out of the hole or one sneaky jellyfish behind me
crimson needle
most of my fails are due to some random ice elite exploding and killing me
tiny pier
i wish prismatic trails would remember the class you selected
crimson needle
or random wisps shooting from across the map
reef wigeon
first time doing a prismatic trial. This is impossible? wtf hahahha
rose path
I hate how random wisps can be
sometimes they just stare at you
other times they spawn and instantly blast you
reef wigeon
I got one shotted by a wisp in my god run just then.. Perma tonic and 5 shaped glass, I was one shotting boss's with my left mouse button lolz
crimson needle
ye, this is basically a roulette
the game chooses if you'll get the alternate ult for merc or not during this trials
tiny pier
I honestly hate it
crimson needle
by the way Sporry, a safer way to get out of the hole, look slightly up, and instantly use your special, you'll kill 3 or 4 wisps on it.
tiny pier
It's luck completely out of control of the player
rose path
I'll try that one
aaaaaaaaaah I still cant believe I got hit by that one goddamn jellyfish when I had just finished
tiny pier
imagine if the devs implented a quick restart
crimson needle
One thing that might be worth it is the wax quail atop a cliff on stage 2
it gives you unparalelled jellyfish evasion
tiny pier
okay what is the tactic for today's merc run?
crimson needle
Cabbage's Video is out already Defragged
tiny pier
where do i find it
tiny pier
is it not the pinned one?
crimson needle
yep it is
rose path
😌
massive thanks for the cabbage vid and all the other tips
now if only the skill was a good alternative lol
neon prism
you must've taken 1 hp of damage somewhere in the trial
hybrid igloo
I was trying to, nearly finished the first stage and accidentally clicked and got myself into a predicament
crimson needle
I must've taken a single tick from a fire trail
Ye, and instantly restart as merc
crimson needle
Well, time to try and try again
rose path
good luck
may the wisp spawns be kind
feral warren
Guys i'm having problems with this trial, i've seen the video and i've managed even to get to the second teleporter without any hit. However the jellyfish are so goddamn annoying and i can't always hear them, moreover the wisp are constantly changing their spawn in the first stage and this thing is messing me up a lot, i'm getting a pause from the trial but i wanted to know if you have any advice
feral warren
I've tryied for an hour, i'm taking a small break, also i forgot to mention that i'm trying the Gabbage's route but i've read of a missle drone but idk where it is and if it's worth
crimson needle
I've tried both, Cabbage is more consistent
summer trout
so guys
what is the easiest, most braindead way one can complete this trial?
I just want the scythe unlock, I don't care about anything else
prime snow
Huntress
Turn off music so you can hear spawns
Buy guillotine in the large box by map 1 teleporter
You'll one shot every thing
Always stay moving vs jellies, they really shouldn't be able to touch you
tight patrol
Are the console trials any good today
summer trout
I can't even find the large box lol
crimson needle
Good. I hit a rock and get launched into orbit. N I C E.
Lost another good run...
crimson needle
Screw this, did it again and it didn't count.
prime snow
Trishop in back corner, one in a chest also by teleporter
Gomes are you taking any fall dmg
crimson needle
Nope, literally no dmg run
prime snow
That's what your end screen says?
crimson needle
Ye
Already on menu, think I can't print anymore
I did it twice, none with any visible damage numbers.
tight patrol
Gomes you on PC?
crimson needle
Yeah
prime snow
Is there a difference between console and PC trials
tight patrol
The boss of stage 2 is a blazing magma worm
prime snow
Oh fuck that lmfao
tight patrol
I think Yes @prime snow
crimson needle
Oh ok wth
Apparently it just didn't show on the finishing screen
I got the achievement complete on my log lmao
absolute bruh moment
tight patrol
At least you have it
Fuck my life
So my strat is to break crystals, get a missle drone, focus crystals and crowbar. Kill the beetle queen and suffer
lone heath
hey guys any topaz brooch? or any good items in general for this trial
drifting heron
there is a preon near spawn
autumn wolf
all but 1 artifact (I thought this run was required to get the last 1 xd)
lone heath
There's a repulsion armor plate in the market in the spawn (the "?" item). Pretty good one.
Also, I found crowbar and fresh meat in the far corner of the teleporter zone. Get the guillotine from the big boi chest aswell. s2 is pretty easy just don't get killed in s1. Play huntress; you can get 2 energy drinks. One is in a market, the other one is in the chest close to the hole near the teleporter.
tough belfry
what artifact isnt there
light scroll
Am I just a scrub or is trying to get Ethereal as Merc a bad idea with this trial? If it was anything other than wisps on stage one, I feel like I'd be okay.
prime snow
cbum this is a really good trial for ethereal
grab preon accumulator for map 1 boss, you can hide in pit for entire teleporter event
your run is basically make or break in first 20 seconds, just try to save shift/ r in case wisps spawn on you
also im malding
grim sphinx
Yo don't know if any of you found this out yet, but there are visions of heresy in the bazaar
prime snow
i was on pace for a 425ish and then the last glacial jelly wouldnt get baited out of the long tunnel, it got stuck in a corner
grim sphinx
so if you can get into there, just buy that and snipe away the entire second stage
Also going into the bazaar changed the jellyfish to spawn into contraptions - but with Visions those are no problem at all to kill
(Did this on PC btw)
And if Visions aren't your thing, there's also the two misslie drones in Siren's
Thought it wouldn't be possible to get the damn merc skill, but then Visions came along and boom, challenge done
zealous edge
stage 1 was free once i figured out to run to one of those pillars near the teleporter after i activated
prime snow
yknow what, for no triple dash/ballista ill take it
still losing like 13 seconds on that stupid tunnel jelly
cyan stratus
for my 3:57 i used telekinesis to draw it out of the cave

Hey, could someone tell me how I'm supposed to beat this Prismatic Trial? >.<
lucid bobcat
finish all 3 stages
zenith plinth
There's a lil video of a merc doing it, I just copied him
took me a few trys but yeah easiest way I did it
vast beacon
could you send me the link of the vid?
zenith plinth
1 sec
1st stage might take you a few trys
the 2nd stage is sort of easy? you'll just have to find this last random jelly fish
vast beacon
wtf!? Why is it so hard just to unlock a item ..?
glass yew
so there are three spawning at the beginning
instead of two? or am i supposed to dodge the third
gray scaffold
noice i managed to get from like 3000th place to sub 1000

yeah im around 4k right now lol

i suggest using huntress

I have tried, but I get instakilled

this is a tip to someone else and it really helps: turn your music off and listen to the enemies spawning

prime snow
yeah i figure itd help people who get sniped as theyre leaving for tele
im not sure how many people do this per release
also cabbage, your 3:57 is assuredly not 500 because my 442 or whatever it was got me like 187
gray scaffold
nice 239th place

r doesnt hit

oh rip
delicate grove
you can get a pretty decent time with loader if you use the meteor behind where you spawn

you just need cheat engine

omfg i got the ULTRA RARE item that drops from elite monsters that gives me their elite aspect
during a trial
too bad its useless
cyan stratus
yeah that's more common when they're all elite
still doesn't drop that often but fun to see
gray scaffold
yeah but its still a rare item
i mean it would be alotta more useful if it didnt take up the utility spot
cyan stratus
yeah i dont play a lot of base game but i wouldn't think it's useful when there's other equipments you can have
primal arch
Damn, finally got the ethereal. I hated wisps before, now even more
And thank god for missile drones

not even 5x speed disliking

@feral warren at the very top of the map, at the giant spine skeleton
@feral warren dont have a map atm, sorry

Np, but doesn't that like fuck up the route?
grim sphinx
didn't for me - or, well, slightly, got contraptions in siren's instead of jellies
but those spawned very, VERY rarely

turns out 6 seconds make alotta difference
grim sphinx
and with visions i could just snipe them from afar

i think this is good enough for me

Grab repulsion armor plate (? one) from the multishop with 2 fireworks and ? option left of the start lets you take few hits from lesser wisps
drowsy saffron
thanks to cabbage's video i managed to do it. not too bad just gotta learn the iframes on merc. and remember that with all the dashes you can outrun the jellies.
south sphinx
i was trying to get the ethereal with merc for 5 hours T-T
teal tinsel
i was able to get 4:17 with huntress . (as of posting 61st)
no buy - optimise dashing - using ballista
this run has some issues with consistency as the last jellyfish is in the caves. (sometimes it comes out, other times not)
I think i could get the time down by 1-5 seconds by being more efficient when moving, but the run is too inconsistent and icba
I tried it with acrid and think its possible to do a slightly faster.
no buy - use blight
the dashes could be slightly faster but the one issues is its much harder.
I got a 4:23 with acrid after 5 attempts.
gleaming yarrow
For the life of me, I cannot seem to duplicate Cabbage's prismatic run.
split crown
any tips on beating my first one?
delicate grove
which part are you having trouble with?
gleaming yarrow
Very beginning.
Trial is doable, to be sure
But its coming down to hoping the wisps spawn in the perfect place to avoid
And thats not a challenge, thats rng
delicate grove
just make sure you always have either one of the dash attacks available at any given time and it should be easy
wait for wisps to begin their charge up before attacking them etc
gleaming yarrow
With how it's been for me, that's way easier said than done.
But it is always right when I get to the fireworks, or right when I get to the preon
solemn hull
Wisps can very easily nick you inbetween i-frames
gleaming yarrow
The extra spawning wisps just take me out
solemn hull
Especially considering their perfect tracking up until what feels like only the very last frame, you're going to get caught eventually.
not to mention those wisps that spawn already shooting at you
gleaming yarrow
But, I dunno. I can't put time into knocking out a challenge thats settled by rng.
Things change, maybe it'll get adjusted later.
Just not worth the headache.
obsidian marsh
@south sphinx alot easier than you thought huh
Took me 3 tries and all I had was ukelele (on console so I can't use artifacts to help me)
south sphinx
That was not easy 😭😭
loud lantern
i literally cannot beat the jellyfish. its my first trial and i have done everything so far w/o help, but ive been trying for like 2 hours
what did others do just to beat it, not for a speedrun
quaint pewter
@south sphinx got that wallpaper from your earlier screenshot?
arctic drum
is this prismatic trial harder or easier than average to complete ethereal?
like it seems difficult but I would think it's easier than average considering the only enemies are one-shottable wisps and jellies
indigo snow
@gleaming yarrow For the record Trials is the only part of the game that isn't RNG-based
Everything that spawns is seeded for the timestamp
Stuff like crits is random but that's why most runners don't really get items like Lens cuz then they'd have to crit farm and that sucks
gleaming yarrow
Don't worry, I sucked up and pulled through it.
Carefully paid more attention to Cabbage's behavior and mimicked as best I could.
visual ore
Is anyone else really bummed about them taking metamorphosis out of prismatic trials?
cyan stratus
no i don't think so
undone solar
probably people would just restart until they got the survivor they wanted
or they would be forced to play one specific survivor no matter what (supposing that the RNG from metamorphosis would also be affected by the Prismatic Trial seed)
indigo snow
Enigma would probably suck too
cinder garden
god wisps are unfun to try to get ethereal around
opal tundra
isnt metamorphosis also rng? with a fixed seed the only change it would make, is you dont play the same survivor in the two stages
prisma crest
i wish they brought back like that one seed back when skills 2.0 was released that just had a brooch printer at stage 1. would make my life easier
i'm surprised there isnt a restart button yet after 1 year
holy shit this is so annoying
this is annoying for me, someone who dosent even play prismatic trials, imagine how frustrating it must be for the people that actually play this
wait... were prismatic trials changed? i killed the teleporter boss but i still cant go through the tp..
prime snow
you get used to the cbt
prisma crest
i got hit by a wisp 1 second after it spawned. this is fair
almost got ethereal... only didnt get it because i dashed into a blazing jellyfish and it survived the dash and i took 2 dmg from the fire trail. fuck
prisma crest
thank god for the green vegetable thing fruit i dont know
i think it actually took me about the same time as it took for the first ish prismatic trial seed of skills 2.0
both took me bout an hour for ethereal

when the wisps spawn faster than i can react there's not much i can do

for a 3rd backup magazine aswell
cyan stratus
i was panicked in a menu which does not reflect my normal thought process

did you want another crit glasses?
cyan stratus
i just wanted something dude idk it's a shiny object on the ground
maybe a warbanner so there's more visual cancer
delicate grove
legit the hardest thing about 20 stages is the amount of stuff on screen
cyan stratus
no it's just the crabs and magma worms before stage 6

put swarm and soul on

yea but early game i dont want as many spawns so i can conserve tincure charges before i'm at 5

how do you unlock artifacts/modifiers for use in prismatic trials?
i just got back after a while and i want to aim for the ethereal achievement
sick mural
prismatic trials have them automatically
you unlock the artifacts for regular runs
there is a pinned video in this chat that shows a good strat for the current trial ethereal
slate inlet
after the wisps its easy
lapis musk
how do u guys do stage 1 do u ballista the 2 crystals then rush the one next to tp without buying anything or what
tough belfry
to go fast yes
to complete the trial there's a preon near spawn and an armor plate in the ? by the crystals
lapis musk
i did the trial by getting preon and rushing tp without the plate hmm
tough belfry
ok ye that works too
if you're going fast then the only time that matters is how fast you kill crystals and reach tele because of tp charge
so items aren't worth it
tough belfry
if you use the place in cabbage's video it's ez
lapis musk
naw i didnt watch a vid yet
spiral gazelle
i did a trial before and i complete them normally not easy not hard but this trial is too hard i keep getting one shot
normal edge
I did it pretty easy with engineer
gray scaffold
i feel like huntress is the best
spiral gazelle
I trying to use mercenary so I can get his achievement in the same time
gray scaffold
i mean that is supposed to be hard
spiral gazelle
Wisp is stupid
gray scaffold
i mean there is a pinned video on how to kinda do it
spiral gazelle
The damage make no sense one moment they don't instant kill me the next the game say" let's instant kill u now"
Even doh I full health
odd flax
Just failed the second stage at 99% lol
zenith plinth
what happened to the trials?
runic crater
elfin plinth
huh ok
zenith plinth
Damn that means I need to get top 400
I’ve been tryna go for perfect runs
Very very hard
Those wisps on the first teleporter are a slight bit overpowered in that situation
boreal storm
Pretty happy, I just got a 4:30.06 run. Rank number 291 lol
tough belfry
you don't get anything for top 10%
late socket
its not that the wisps are overpowered. It's because THERE'RE WISPS
One fart in your direction = kiss your Merc challenge goodbye
elfin palm
Took around 200 attempts but got ethereal, followed the pinned video except for the second tele event, just kited them back and forth with shift
polar fern
I did it
After full last night trying in my way, I've seen, how it did one guy from internet and I've did it from 10 try
I didn't know about little cliff in hole near the portal on first location and was trying to hide from infinite Wisp behind the rock
shrewd thistle
thank you, cabbage-sensei
waxen pagoda
I wanna try walking turrets on it
candid fern
AAA
polar fern
Congratulation!
peak cobalt
I don't even understand how you pass the first boss with another char than the Engineer
cyan stratus
would anyone watch if i streamed ethereal on the new trial in 2 hours?
peak cobalt
interessing but too late for me
slim lintel
just start streaming it, clip the clear dl it and upload it to youtube 2 birds 1 stone
tough belfry
if i'm not sleeping i'll watch
slim lintel
nice
thorny magnet
ive been trying to get merc's ability since glass is turned on, but i keep getting sniped by the wisps. any tips for beating it?
zenith plinth
reee ive managed to charge the first tp without taking damage
but now im scared about getting hit if I jump out from the pit
yeah fuck this. best chance to do it overshadowed by most bullshit enemy in thegame
odd flax
There's a missile drone you can grab behind you at spawn location
It'll clear out all the wisps during tp event and helps on 2nd stage as well, but sometimes dies
cyan stratus
if you're about to get hit you can just move out of the way to not get hit
zenith plinth
bruh how we're talking about lesser wisps here
i don't know how they can remain the way they are despite most people complaining about them ever since launch
it's been over a year by this point
odd flax
The missile drone makes it a lot easier.
slim lintel
as merc (mercenary) from the game risk of rain 2 you have 2 mobility skills with hefty iframes (invincibility frames (you can't get hit)) these can be used to dodge literally anything in the entirety of the video game risk of rain 2, you can even use a well timed M2 to dodge wisp shots so in conclusion don't get hit
zenith plinth
you're just going to ignore all the other survivors in the game, and one of the pillars of the first game (when you die it is YOUR fault not the game's) being a complete and total victim to rng
odd flax
Not every character is going to be good at everything
Especially not in a trial with random artifacts lol
red sable
they're good in different areas
zenith plinth
My point with "you're just going to ignore the other survivors" is WTF are you supposed to do to avoid getting hit by wisps as them? every enemy in the first game had well-telegraphed and easy to avoid attacks provided that you paid attention, something that this game doesn't at all follow with lesser wisps
prime snow
shoot them first or kite around with cooldowns
that should cover all the other survivors
slim lintel
commando can outrange them and dodge with roll/slide, mult sucks, engi can shield or waggle his screen around like an idiot with the javelins, huntress can just huntress, arti can fly above everythings aggro range, acrid can run away like a little bitch and shoot poison every char has at least some way to deal with everything
zenith plinth
they literally snipe you with a shotgun blast
odd flax
The wisps have a charging animation and sound
If they're killing you it's because you're reacting too slowly or your skills are on CD
zenith plinth
The animation is barely visible when enough is going on, their little telegraphing laser always looks like baby powder over a laser pointer
which is a STARK and much WORSE difference when compared to a golem laser considering that lesser wisps are runkillers most of the time
red sable
what's yall fav character and why?? what do they bring that you prefer that other characters don't bring??
slim lintel
my favorite character to play as is the lesser wisp
zenith plinth
commando is my end all be all, he has much more utility than other survivors
odd flax
The Common lesser wisp
prime snow
clay pot
cyan stratus
wisps make a lot of sound, you can hear them spawn, hear their movement become more aggressive when aggro'd so you know if they're aggro'd even if you don't see it, hear it charge up its attack, etc. there's a lot you can do to not get hit by one and even then they don't do that much damage so i dont see why they're a problem
slim lintel
cabbage when are you going to complete the all relics monsoon CE as the jellyfish
red sable
huh, I always thought of commando as attuned to beginner players (not that I mean to offend) but I haven't met someone who prefers commando :0
what's your fav commando loadout?
cyan stratus
which jellyfish
zenith plinth
The problem with wisps is that
You cannot hide from them
When they charge their attack all you can do is pray in vain that it will miss you if you make a last second sudden movement
They begin to shoot you the moment they spawn
They scale horrifically
They very easily overwhelm you
slim lintel
bab jellyfish, gotta do the whole thing without attacking
tough belfry
just kill the wisps lol
odd flax
Why not just shoot them first
cyan stratus
you can hide from them by going behind terrain, you know exactly when they're going to fire if you get used to the sound effect so you can move quickly at the last second, they begin to shoot you the moment they spawn but that's not an issue since you can just react to it, and i don't know about scaling because i don't play this game
zenith plinth
Moving at the last second doesn't save any survivor but merc
And only if he abuses iframes
prime snow
you can dodge it with huntress dash even
cyan stratus
all characters have a movement ability except engi, no?
odd flax
@red sable I don't really have a favourite, who's yours?
slim lintel
their scaling is completely fine, I've never ran in to a extremely bullet spongey wisp
zenith plinth
Their sponginess isn't what makes them OP, it's their damage
They fire 3 shots and in lategame that's an instant KO since OSP has no buffer
slim lintel
by the time their damage matters you should have so many proc items they're never alive more than .1 second
tough belfry
hahahahah OSP
odd flax
Time for ThSP
zenith plinth
haha funny word only glass spammers use it amirite???
slim lintel
hell by the time their damage would matter they flat out quit spawning because the game has credits for bigger enemies
delicate grove
im proud to be a glass spammer
red sable
Imma be honest, I'm still learning the strengths of each character even though I'm comfortable in monsoon runs I still need to know more about characters before atm tho I I'm playing rex and I've warmed up to artificer and merc more lately than before, @odd flax
tough belfry
my question is how tf does anyone like commando
thin timber
With the Alt skills he's pretty fun
prime snow
hes very default dan, always at least decent in anyones hands
odd flax
Ah, I played rex the first time today, sniping with the M2 is really satisfying :D @red sable
tough belfry
i haven't got alt skills so idk about them but the basic stuff seems objectively worse than other characters
odd flax
Something about commando has always felt really lame to me, it's like he has no impact compared to the others
zenith plinth
Commando has 2 utilities that have a lot of different uses
He may have aggressive damage dropoff but that doesn't put him out of the game at range unlike merc acrid or loader
His alt M2 is disgustingly good and an objective upgrade over the default
His OG R is guaranteed stun and scales with attack speed
His alt R is incredible for crowd control and is really fun to use when combined with behemoth
There are zero items that are objectively bad on him (that you would equip on any other survivor)
red sable
true that I like it 2, although I don't like the limit on shaped glass due to the characters rellience on health
slim lintel
alt skill commando is actually nice, default commando is a turd sucker
tough belfry
what is alt m2
thin timber
Shotgun
tough belfry
is it good for killing lots of small enemies since that's what he seems to really suck at early game
thin timber
8x200%
slim lintel
no his alt R is for aoe, 2 grenades
zenith plinth
yes it is disgustingly good and they don't seem to give a fuck that it's an objective upgrade to make his OG any better
thin timber
Alt Shift is a slide during which you can shoot but only works on the ground. in air it's a tiny jetpack boost. Also a very fun skill
zenith plinth
Yeah they upped the damage but it's still dog, imo the damage should go back down and it should be 2 shots like his alt is. Which would make sense since his whole shtick is shooting 2 guns
red sable
press ctrl on ground then immediately press jump XD fun
zenith plinth
the artifacts update has made me leaps and bounds more happier and positive about this game but there are still multiple IMO fundamental flaws that have still yet to be tackled such as lunar items, lesser wisps, character progression challenges, prismatic trials as a whole, and clay templars
tough belfry
delet lunars
red sable
@zenith plinth are you good at essays? I feel like that's a talent you posses
slim lintel
delet lunars
zenith plinth
I get good grades on them but hate myself doing them
unborn whale
same
slim lintel
they already fixed clay templars, just quit ignoring items like stun nades and the new armor scrap
zenith plinth
just stack teddies 
because that's the answer to every fundamental problem with the enemies in this game
unborn whale
just don't be there
prime snow
imagine preparing to fight enemies
tough belfry
imagine leaving the spawn pod
odd flax
Safe, warm, and sticky
zenith plinth
lunars don't have to be deleted but i think it's clear that glass artifact proves shaped glass does not need OSP
corpsebloom is still the worst item in the game with a healing cap that just shouldn't exist
lesser wisps shouldnt be shotguns
templars shouldnt be able to track so fast
tough belfry
might be because you play commando that you hate templars
delicate grove
would you rather lesser wisps did all their damage in a single hit
zenith plinth
preferably yes because then I'd have a better chance to dodge it
zenith plinth
I know the strat to fight templars, that doesn't discount them from being the most dangerous enemy in the game as seen in a community poll here
thin timber
Armor Plating tho
tough belfry
i'd never say they're the most dangerous
zenith plinth
well the community would disagree with you
tough belfry
but i only play characters with good movement
cyan stratus
i survived clay templars on stage 5 on all artifacts with 15 teddy bears and 11 armor plates
delicate grove
scavenger is prob most dangerous tbh
zenith plinth
you didn't NEED hermit's scarf or chargefield generator or tough times to avoid damage in the first game, so why are monsters in the sequel suddenly so item dependent? What happened to being able to avoid shots entirely by skill alone
zenith plinth
missile, overloading, and explosive elites though
tough belfry
having to make a build to counter specific enemies is not a bad thing tonhave in the game
zenith plinth
it absolutely is when we're talking about a game that blames YOU for dying in contrast to other roguelikes or difficult games where you can blame the game
tough belfry
using your brain is better than not using your brain
delicate grove
why would you want to blame the game
tough belfry
also i blame ror2 for all my deaths
zenith plinth
I don't want to, but a lot of deaths in this game compared to the first are complete bullshit
It feels as though there is a much lower skill ceiling in this game than the first where it should be the complete opposite because in the first one you only had to worry about your left and right sides, and many more items were incredibly strong
slim lintel
teddies are awful game design make them armor instead of a random fuck you chance
zenith plinth
you have said yourselves that people's best shots at getting ethereal is by having one of the iframe skills always at the ready but why should we even need iframes to be able to complete that challenge? There was a challenge for miner where you had to get to level 9 without being hit once, and miner doesn't have any i-frames.
prime snow
ror 1 didnt have hit scan
tough belfry
ror1 was 2d
zenith plinth
ror1 didnt have hit scan
that's a hyperthink
tough belfry
when you can see everything obviously it's easier to dodge
prime snow
not nearly to the same degree at least
your complaining over lesser wisps if you wanna get hyperthinking
miner was also super mobile
and rewarded your aggro by killing the things thatd be hitting you
zenith plinth
merc is super mobile, so why does he need iframes
prime snow
because its 3d so youre gonna get swarmed in 360 degrees by many hitscan enemies
you dont even have to use it as iframe if you really dont want to
go use it to hide behind rocks
slim lintel
and miner doesn't have any i-frames.
you what
zenith plinth
you still haven't done anything to disprove the things I have said about lesser wisps, all you have done is laugh.
They swarm you
They are aggressive the moment they spawn
They are hitscan shotguns
They have incredible range and accuracy once they are aggrod
prime snow
because its hilarious
slim lintel
I played a lot of miner in ror1 they're my fav char and I vividly remember them having 2 cases of iframes
prime snow
they die to me farting irl
theyre a swarm pressure unit thats easy to deal with as long as youre dealing with them
tough belfry
if you're not stacking glass you'll never die to wisps, delet lunars is the easiest solution
prime snow
you cant complain about balance in 4 hour runs either, its supposed to be crazy because youre supposed to be crazy
slim lintel
in my experiences wisps completely stop showing up around 1 hour 30 mins~
zenith plinth
their strength in long runs is a side effect of one of their primary problems
which is being a shotgun that you cannot see when enough is happening
and depending on which elite type you get, they will still manage to pull off their M1 despite you hitting them
prime snow
if youre getting smashed with too much to see, you should retreat and pick some off and cool the situation down
otherwise, youre playing merc and should be relishing the chaos
elite wisps still die near instantly, and guillotine ruined elites if you want my personal opinion
zenith plinth
malachites and celestines are still very relevant even with guillotine stacks
prime snow
then theyre doing their job if theyre issues
enemies to have roles to fulfill and its up to you to squash them anyways
slim lintel
by the time malachites and celestines start spawning you should either have enough movement speed items or attack speed items to either get to a safe range or yeet them in to a wall through sheer firepower
zenith plinth
but again: yes, item make enemy trivial, yes, i know, that's how this game works
how does that make ethereal any less of a bullshit challenge when you can't play the macro game
cyan stratus
??
prime snow
challenge
slim lintel
because its seeded and really not that hard
zenith plinth
sorry, rng*
slim lintel
you know exactly what to expect
prime snow
even the random rng you can literally just kill them
ive ran this tons of times streaming for friends showing them how to get ethereal because i truly believed this to be one of the easiest weve had in a long time
if you cant kill maybe 7 wisps total without getting hit as merc
zenith plinth
I agree, it could have been easy if it werent for wisps on first stage
prime snow
idk man
zenith plinth
you may be a weeaboo genji main but that doesnt mean you can snipe people with your sword before you complete that challenge
prime snow
i literally havent played merc until now since i got ethereal when the challenge came out
delicate grove
when i did it there were at most 3 wisps near me, excluding the boss fight
prime snow
i wipe my save often cause i like the rush of unlocking achievements
cyan stratus
streaming ethereal on new trial https://www.twitch.tv/ror2cabbage
slim lintel
cabbage is one of the least weeb people in this entire discord and he's done basically every trial since ethereal came out
prime snow
another kin honor and monster items
tough belfry
i can't see
prime snow
they turn to wisps when they die
prime snow
looks like its gonna be impossible huh
zenith plinth
oh hey these wisps eventually despawn
how tf you avoid tracer mains
tough belfry
it seems twitch doesn't want me to watch :(
prime snow
cabbage already almost got his cut for ethereal, accidentally touched blazing at very end
hes lookin for items around map again
zenith plinth
fr how do you avoid probes
zenith plinth
ok buddy
prime snow
thats prob gonna be the run killer for a lot of people
eh, you still get by in vase
i was thinking maybe dodge it by grabbing fuel cell, get away and then vase to artifact
zenith plinth
would that work?
prime snow
theyre hitting me in vase still so nah
zenith plinth
yeah vase is still kind of an ass equipment for that reason
if we can't attack while we're in it but we still take damage why bother making us appear intangible
prime snow
if you were invincible though
teal violet
this new trial looks ripe for mercenary achievement
prime snow
you could just bounce back and forth and avoid playing the game
map 2 is meadow so thats great, probe might be a problem right next to spawn
zenith plinth
nobody would pick it up over disposable, preon or capacitor even if that were the case
prime snow
looking for solutions
zenith plinth
is there a shadowfade drop anywhere
prime snow
im gonna go spin around on loader and look
shrine of mountain, will see what boss changes to
not seeing any lunar pods
no shadowfade, also cabbage didnt get bothered by probe so maybe bit of rng there
cyan stratus
i'll upload it on my youtube soon but twitch downloads very slowly https://www.twitch.tv/videos/589666662

you can record and stream at the same time as well

hey theres me

prime snow
sub 3 is def possible, my movement is bad and accidentally left 1st portal a couple times
zenith plinth
oh is stage 2 always gonna be a different monster type
cyan stratus
no
zenith plinth
how did you get lemmies when probes spawned when i did it
cyan stratus
changes with time
zenith plinth
does that mean i can get something more favorable if i wait until the next difficulty "chunk"
prime snow
yeah
zenith plinth
oh hey
one of em might drop a glacial equipment
b r u h
i waited until the third chunk of "easy"
and got solus probes again

thanks
zenith plinth
i couldnt use vase but i managed to geyser across the map so i just hopped down to artifact zone
prime snow
i think geyser blocks vase
crude vector
i watched that video from the mercenary a couple back and im trying to do that but when i try to do the artifact teleporter it doesnt work... can someone tell me why
nvm i got it i was putting in the wrong code lol
hazy locust
Yo, can someone explain Merc's iframes? Can I safely dash through fire enemies or not?
delicate grove
using eviscerate on fire enemies is a safer option
but p sure you can blinding assault them if you hit them at the correct angle/height
zenith plinth
flamey boys hurt by simply touching you so ideally if you use blinding assault you want them to be real close and you want to aim up so you hit them but dont run into them or their trail
you guys also prob knew this but you can have flamey beetles finish off those crystals from a safe distance too
clever mountain
I think I can manage a sub4 for this one

most scuffed run in my entire life, I fell to the abyss 3 times life lel

dude on the second stage It didnt spawn lemurians and spawn eye lazer bois
I still did it tho which is good, thats a heads up for ppl
clever mountain
time
trim meadow
why am i getting solus probes
clever mountain
lil better
delicate grove
I wonder if the 2:33 with huntress is legit
zenith plinth
@trim meadow u took too long
grab preon behind you
rush TP, clump up the boys and preon them
quickly get to cover while the wisps eventually die
finish charging tp ASAP (like get out of there within 3:15)
optional: get eccentric vase
if you're fast enough, sky meadows' enemies will be lemurians, much easier than solus probes.
quickly get across the stage and over to the computer or use the vase to get across
From there punch in an artifact code and enter the protal
cyan stratus
wait there was a preon lol
zenith plinth
ye it's on the log over the ledge behind u

dawn saddle
Cannot seem to get my time under 4mins for the first stage, Solus Probes snag me every time.
gleaming coral
@dawn saddle what class are you using?
Id try and grab the first active item chest next to the first crystal. It has a Eccentric Vase which is good for the first stages crystal and good for stage 2 artifact cheese
dawn saddle
Merc, following the link posted.
Found out Fire Elite trails can break the crystals, which can mess with the gold you earn.
gleaming coral
But just 1st close crystal, Eccentric to far crystal, kill crystals on the way to tp. either strand on pipe and be patient, or be ballsy
you dont need any gold, starting 50 is plenty.
dawn saddle
Don't need any gold?
gleaming coral
no why would you?
you can just kite the beetles to jump off stage 1. And stage 2 you just ignore and rush artifact teleporter, no crystals or enemy kills needed
dawn saddle
Hm.
gleaming coral
you can even kite them all off the map to their death while completely in the zone
just use the pipe, its opieop
gleaming coral
ye, see. no gold needed, good stuff famalam
dawn saddle
Here I am, getting spit on by Wisps, following an item route, when I can just ungabguna.
frank dawn
Ive taken two damage an Im mad
dawn saddle
I caught a Lemurian fireball to the ankle as I set up the Vase.
frank dawn
Oh shit, that'd be good to get to the thing
dawn saddle
It's in the equipment barrel near the cave where you spawn
frank dawn
I know and I just stepped in fire and fuck this challenge
This is a dumb unlock amd it should be changed
dawn saddle
Oh, I agree. Even to 80-90% HP would be much nicer. But I'll happily cheese it.
gleaming coral
yeah this is the easiest challenge ina long long time
dawn saddle
Start. Grab Vase, break three crystals using Ultimate, start teleporter, stand on pipe, wobble a bit till all bosses fall off, jump up onto tower in middle to wait out rest of teleporter, stage 1 done.
Then it's just not getting sniped by Lemurians as you take your choice of path to the Artifact Teleporter.
zenith plinth
I feel like it'd probably be a good idea to get a decent grasp of his play style before attempting this
frank dawn
For me its solus probes stage 2
dawn saddle
I'm done the first stage in under three minutes abusing the ledge.
frank dawn
I dont feel like doing this anymore tbh
dawn saddle
No harm in taking a break. Got a good 65HRs before the trial changes.
Thanks for enlightening me on the Ledge Strat, Noll!
frank dawn
The vase couldnt reach
What happens when you get through the gate?
Oh, nothing
Cool
Fuck this challenge still
gleaming coral
you can reach but you gotta be kinda close
you can even just jump off the map and use it and insta jump in
prime snow
game chooses for you
prime snow
theres a preon accumulator that spawns behind you, you can just use that to clear teleporter map 1. this ones mostly about not blowing yourself up on crystals and not accidentally touching a blazing
map 2 you can go under and hit the artifact gate
some people are getting solus probes map 2, im not sure about what timing getting to map 2 is causing that but either going faster or slowing down, theres lumerians that you can get instead which makes it a lot easier
jaunty wing
Got it, thanks
obsidian hinge
Enough attempts for now. Using the pipe to lure beetles down is godsend for huntress who can't seem to target boss beetles when there are tons of other beetles.
zenith plinth
50 sec cheater?
obsidian hinge
Most likely since tele charge is 90 sec on stage 1
zinc nest
same with those 2 mercs
prime snow
charge time takes 90 sec
vestal rain
Likely commando too
native sable
this trial is super easy to do the merc thingy on
thanks guys!
for anyone struggling, just sit on the pipe next to the teleporter stage 1. I didnt even need anything else. Just walk around it, the beetles will slowly fall off. Jump to the rock if any beetles get close.
Stage 2, just bumrush the artifact thing. Once you're down there nothing follows you or spawns, so you just need to input any artifact code and go in.
hollow parcel
preon is pretty useful for the hoard of beetles if you can aim it correctly
gleaming coral
make sure you get the eccentric vase
hollow parcel
i hopped on a spire and fired it straight down, it killed most of the wisps
gleaming coral
nah vase is much better, you dont need the damage. they just jump off. vase is nice to get to the artifact zone faster and safer
native sable
ohhh
gleaming coral
you can get sub 3 on all characters with it pretty much
mighty crescent
I double jumped at the end and took fall damage as the artifact portal opened
I'm gonna sue myself
thin timber
Honor or Dissonance are probably the fastest codes to type in huh
native sable
yeah honor is super fast
zinc nest
honestly that commando is either hacking or just using all the tech
gleaming coral
nah cheating, teleporter event is 90 seconds. So unless there is a way to progress the time of the tp without progressing trial time
zinc nest
90 seconds is a minute 30
gleaming coral
nah 22 seconds to go from spawns to portals is also nutty
polar fern
so, you think, that first place - cheater
elfin plinth
first place is always a cheater
