#

are prismatic trials usually this fun? i couldnt tell usually because i was focused on not getting hit

delicate grove
#

loader run if anyones interested, i think its the fastest non-cheating run atm

night ginkgo
#

ohhh yeah finally got sub 3 with merc 😄

zinc nest
#

is that normal grapple wig?

delicate grove
#

its the default grapple ability yeah

zinc nest
#

i see

wheat adder
fickle ferry
#

is this trial easy for mercenary unlock?

drifting heron
#

i think so

zenith plinth
#

it is

drifting heron
#

there is a video in pinned of someone doing it

zenith plinth
#

well i did it with this trial

fickle ferry
#

oh got it

#

thx

#

i tried it yesterday but it was a pain in the ass with all the wisps

peak cobalt
#

wisp again here :/

solemn fiber
#

wisps will always be here

peak cobalt
#

and solub probe on the second level

zenith plinth
#

if youre fast enough lemurians will spawn instead

peak cobalt
#

?

zenith plinth
#

theres a trick at the teleporter with the pipe at the ledge

#

which makes it a lot easier

#

you need to get out of stage 1 within 4 minutes

solemn fiber
#

a week ago the trial was super hard that cabbage couldn't do it hitless

zenith plinth
#

then lemurians will spawn instead of the probes and thats much easier to deal with

#

also be sure to grab the vase at the start of the spawn

peak cobalt
#

thanks for the tip ^^

gleaming coral
#

yeah dont ever kill the enemies as merc, just lure em off the map

#

dont even stand in the zone, just at the very end of the pipe and be patient

#

and if youre fast enough to start the tp its easy to do in sub 4 mins

#

then you can just run straight to artifact portal on the next stage with the vase for an easy W

wheat adder
#

Side note

#

The vase makes it easier, but it isn't necessary

gleaming coral
#

nah not at all necessary, just a very nice safety net and lowers the skill floor by a bunch

wheat adder
#

ye

zinc nest
#

theres also a preon accumulator opposite the vase but thats if youre feeling spicy

gleaming coral
#

nah thats slower in every run

wheat adder
#

Who said spicy needed to be fast

gleaming coral
#

troo

#

but when is the last time you actually got to use eccentric vase

wheat adder
#

does 'never' count

gleaming coral
#

i used it once, if this counts

#

note, definitely crashed very shortly after.

solemn fiber
#

man v good prismatic trials chat

gleaming coral
#

hey it was a sidetrack >:(

#

and this prismatic trials also a bit of a meme

#

also im trash with loader being optimal on this one. i can get better times as mult :(

#

top 30 ith mult is solid though

#

curious what 3 starting crystals people go for

zinc nest
#

i tried rex

#

didnt do too bad but i can never get faster than loader

gleaming coral
#

yeah he can do a pretty fast stage one, long snipes to get a real quick tp, but then getting to the artifact is no where near as fast

wheat adder
#

Oh YOU'RE the MULT on top 30

#

I was extremely concerned as to why there's a MULT on top 30

#

Well 31 is close to 30 so whatever

zinc nest
#

exactly

#

same issue with huntress honestly

#

i have trouble getting to the artifact tp quickly with anything but loader

gleaming coral
#

:( dont bully me

#

2:50 flat loader, i am so bad

tough belfry
#

what's your mult time

gleaming coral
#

as like 2:55

#

trying to get a sub 2:50 mult just to flex

#

not going to have any success, calling it now lmao

tough belfry
#

it resets your m1 swap thing when you go into a new stage?

gleaming coral
tough belfry
#

what s1 time?

gleaming coral
#

s1?

tough belfry
#

stage 1

gleaming coral
#

ah, like a 32 sec tp start

tough belfry
#

you can get at least <30 without rng

#

with blazing beetle killing crystal <25

#

i suck at the artifact code thing so much

gleaming coral
#

yeah on a 29 rn. but main issue for me is rebar punching that far one, stupid hp bar

tough belfry
#

now go for 2:45

gleaming coral
#

having me next to that arti would look slick

#

ooh its not too rough to get 25 first tp no rng. just some gnarly shots

hybrid igloo
#

you think rex can make top 50?

tough belfry
#

yeah ez

gleaming coral
#

yeah that was my first sub 3 character

#

M2 shreds the first stage

#

sadly no momentum conserving for stage 2 is real sad

hybrid igloo
#

im just trying to meme too lol

tough belfry
#

2:35 mult should be possible

#

i suck at mult as well though

gleaming coral
#

yeah, i dont know if my stage 2 is optimal

tough belfry
#

you can probably do it just jump off then vase

gleaming coral
#

i just immediately go to the bottom asap then jump off and vase, re use boost save all momentum

tough belfry
#

yeah

gleaming coral
#

ill test

#

yeah optimal seems to just be jump spam and pray

hybrid igloo
#

does everyone else have to jump to use the vase on stage two?

gleaming coral
#

nah dont think so, its just faster to yeet

#

setting up take time, which bad

#

god the mult nades are inconsistent

#

the m1 alt

peak cobalt
gleaming coral
#

@peak cobalt he hit Shift then R

#

those were 2 different skills

peak cobalt
#

R is the ping thingy

#

no ?

gleaming coral
#

yes, but no enemies around makes it a dash

#

and by ping thing you mean the thing that makes you go inside them and stab em alot

#

i assume

tough belfry
#

well actually he hit E then Q

gleaming coral
#

true forgot binding differences

#

he used his 3rd skill and 4th skill

peak cobalt
#

ping is the marker for coop game

#

ok yes

gleaming coral
#

yeah soz, my b

peak cobalt
#

thank you

gleaming coral
#

binding mess arounds i guess haha

peak cobalt
#

yes me too (azerty kerboard there ^^)

gleaming coral
#

i surpassed him by too much

#

@tough belfry ayy i see your time, 0.48 seconds more oof :(

tough belfry
#

just beat it again

gleaming coral
#

:(

tough belfry
#

:)))

gleaming coral
#

its 2 am

#

:(((

elfin plinth
#

who cares
:)))

gleaming coral
#

so curious though, whats your loader set up?

peak cobalt
#

and I'm happy to be rank 433 XD

gleaming coral
#

missles and nades. Nade + stun the first crystal while picking up Vase. Fail to snipe the far one :(, nade + stun the closest one to tp and then go. Missing a couple shots i still got a 25 tp.

tough belfry
#

do you mean mult

gleaming coral
#

For stage 2 just shift yeet to lower level asap, jump off the edge and try to get the best Vase possible and conserve speed with shift

#

yes, brain small :(

#

no buuli

tough belfry
#

i only have default abilities because i have never played mult in base game

gleaming coral
#

yeah, i should try nail gun, probably just as good haha

tough belfry
#

i only use rebar puncher

hybrid igloo
#

the one ability unlock is bugged

#

the missiles i guess

gleaming coral
#

hmm, thats an idea, conserve rebar when shifting to the box, ooh

#

thats a time save boggers

hybrid igloo
#

the one you get from beating two beetle queens

tough belfry
#

you can just shoot while moving anyway

gleaming coral
#

okay 1 more good time.

tough belfry
#

start shooting then sprint or "transport mode"

gleaming coral
#

yeah i know, you can charge rebar then sprint and realease

#

if i got that time without thtat trick id be a god

hybrid igloo
#

i dont think nail gun would be very good for this one

gleaming coral
#

ilo ltry

#

nope, awful range haha

hybrid igloo
#

do you run over the time crystals or bounce off them if you utility skill into them as mult

#

also how much damage does it do if you run them over

#

cause if its close you could buzzsaw and run them over

gleaming coral
#

nah theyre all super far away

#

but ill test after i screw up a run

hybrid igloo
#

not worth it, it does like no damage

#

how many people on average attempt a prismatic trial?

gleaming coral
#

i can almost guarantee this trial has a lot more than normal

#

but no idea.

tough belfry
#

usually 0

#

new update + free weekend or whatever had people playing to unlock scythe

sturdy mortar
#

I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow and try sit next to a mul-t

#

2am, you Australian?

gleaming coral
#

yee

#

haw

sturdy mortar
#

Same

gleaming coral
#

thats me done for the night for sure. sub 240 feels so good though

#

wait that 233 on merc is nuts

slim lintel
#

idk why y'all play such slow characters

gleaming coral
#

vroom me mult

elfin plinth
#

балда

slim lintel
gleaming coral
#

cheaty peets :(

#

unless they have some forbidden tech, like mashing escape increments the port timer but not game timer.

slim lintel
#

lolno

#

its basically RNG if you can kill the beetles on time with huntress

gleaming coral
#

tp is still 90 secs though

#

so theoretical min time has to be more than 1:30.

elfin plinth
#

they have special asian tps

gleaming coral
#

and just use regular m1 for this, its better, if you arent already

slim lintel
#

yeah I was

gleaming coral
#

dang thats kinda sad, youre a fulll 10 sec faster than me :(

slim lintel
#

you get a couple beetles free and then they all form a mass and its you vs. auto aim. Complete RNG if you manage to kill all the boss ones, can't even esily weed them out with ballista

gleaming coral
#

why not just circle kite them off a cliff

#

or do you not want to get too much money?

slim lintel
#

oh is the cliff in the tele range? I didnt even think about that

gleaming coral
#

yee, pipe hangs off a tad

#

stand at the edge of tp, blink to land, half of them die

#

typically can do the tp every time if you dont fall off

#

dont ask how i know :(

tough belfry
#

idk how to fast as huntress

cunning halo
#

thanks for the pipe strat folks, got ethereal

gleaming coral
#

:)

bleak nacelle
#

why must the devs make prismatic trials so... painful?

scenic kiln
#

Hi

dull estuary
pearl onyx
#

Good job!

ionic rover
#

What's the record for the current trial?

slim lintel
#

unless someone went and beat it probably my 2:29

#

too lazy to check

ionic rover
#

how the hell do you do that lol

#

the second stage along takes so long to traverse

waxen pagoda
slim lintel
#

theres a vase on S1 and you use it s2 to go directly to the artifact teleporter

waxen pagoda
#

oh I got that

slim lintel
#

actually saying that just made me realize I'm dumb and can probably shave a few seconds off my time

waxen pagoda
#

its legit the first think you can grab

#

artificer moment

slim lintel
#

you can completely skip the 2nd teleporter event by going to the bottom tele

ionic rover
#

damn true

zenith plinth
#

i had a different mob in stage 2

#

i almost gave up on this prismatic trial for mercenary's thing but like it can probably be done in 3 minutes, taking 0 damage lol

#

by skipping second stage entirely with an artifact tp and by clearing the teleporter with wisp + preon accumulator

slim lintel
ionic rover
#

where is there an accumulator?

winter nova
#

It’s in the timed security chest on Rallypoint delta. There’s a box with a 10 minute countdown and you have to get to it before it reaches 0, there’s an accumulator inside.

ionic rover
#

Thanks but I meant in the trial

winter nova
#

Oh yeah sorry

zenith plinth
#

its behind you when you spawn

ionic rover
#

👍

#

Yeah just did the Mercenary take no damage thing and the accumulator made it easy

indigo snow
#

Mul-t runners be like

#

💪

zinc nest
#

mul t when he uses shift be like: shoom

prime snow
#

mul t 🤢

slim lintel
#

mul-t more like but-t

left mulch
#

yoooo

lucid orbit
#

bruh

#

im trying to do prismatic trials to get my mercenary skill and im not sure why everything seems twice as strong as it should be, but Im asking if there is a certain strat i have to have to beat it?

left mulch
#

there's a strat with like

#

no chance of getting hurt

#

Stage one: Destroy the crystals and grab the vase by spawn. When you activate the teleporter stand at the edge of the pipe off the cliff, and let all the beetles kill themselves

#

get on the box in the teleporter zone and wait for the teleporter to charge, then hit it

lucid orbit
#

so do not even bother try to kill the boss

left mulch
#

Stage two: Jump down, Double jump and use teleport to not take fall damage

#

Teleport to the artifact area using the vase and use that to skip the second teleporter event

#

yeah, if you stand on the pipe all the beetles with jump off the cliff and you can just wait for them all to be dead

#

it's horde of many

lucid orbit
#

wait the first place i spawn tho is the ice place

left mulch
#

???

#

for the trial right now?

#

It's sirens call for me

cyan stratus
#

we should have a prismatic trial pc and console channel

left mulch
#

ah

#

didn't even know this game was on console

lucid orbit
#

wait can i do it with people?

indigo snow
#

Trials are solo only

calm sail
#

Hello guys i got a question. Is it possible to recover corrupted save?

slim lintel
#

it gets confusing

lucid orbit
#

i was on the last stage and ofc i got the jellyfish boss

keen grove
#

i agree with iforgotwho

lucid orbit
#

this game cheated me. I just did this on my mercenary didnt go under 100% health and i dont have my skill

tawdry dune
#

Wtf

#

How @lucid orbit ?

#

Are you on a fresh save before the patch?

#

And on switch?

lucid orbit
#

I just memorized where certain stuff was and just went for it and every time i failed, i tried to do something different

#

im on switch

tawdry dune
#

If it’s not a fresh save after this current patch unlocks are still glitched*

lucid orbit
#

ive completed this TWICE and i have yet to get my mercenary skill im slightly triggered

tawdry dune
#

Im on a fresh save trying rn but I can’t one shot this clay pot

lucid orbit
#

WHAT so i got cheated out of my new skill are you serious? Do i get after or am I going to have to do it again

tawdry dune
#

You’ll have to do it again, but at least there’s artifacts for next time

lucid orbit
#

bruh dawg you dont understand

#

i cant aim

#

and it is so gosh darn difficult im surprised i completed it twice

#

wait so how am i suppose to not make it glitch???

keen grove
#

console be confusing

lucid orbit
#

dawg i need to know cause ima be very upset if i have to do this all over again

#

is there someone i ask that can help me out or something?

tawdry dune
#

So

#

Unlocks are glitched on old saves, a fresh save doesn’t have the glitch

#

The patch to fix this has been sent to Nintendo already it’s just in approval process

lucid orbit
#

how do i get a fresh save?

#

ohh my goodness

tawdry dune
#

Start a new profile or delete your save data

#

I did two weeks ago so I’m already caught up except for this unlock

lucid orbit
#

whatttt

#

how do i delete save data?

serene trench
#

What's the best Survivor to do this trial on?

sacred brook
#

Hey is it a glitch or intended that my friend has different enemies in his trial..? My second stage has lemurians but his has the laser probes which makes it like 10x harder and I'm wondering why that happens

sturdy mortar
#

the difficulty when you enter the 1st portal has an effect on what the enemy type on stage 2 is I think

#

So if you are very fast you get lemurians, slower you get probes

sacred brook
#

ohhhh that -could- explain it yea, haven't thought about that and am gonna do some testing, thank you!

tawdry dune
#

@lucid orbit data management in settings, delete save data

#

I almost had it but I missed one of my preon shots fml

sturdy mortar
#

You found a preon this trial?

tawdry dune
#

There is a preon this trial on both console and pc

#

I’m on console so we spawn in front of it.

sturdy mortar
#

I went straight for the eccentric vase really close to spawn

tawdry dune
#

Check cabbage video for pc and in the comments someone mentions a location of one

lucid orbit
#

@tawdry dune please dont tell me i just deleted my save data and this doesnt work

slim lintel
#

lmao can you not have multiple profiles on console?

lucid orbit
#

i dont feel like setting up a whole new profile so i just deleted save data to save time

tawdry dune
#

It does.

#

I did it two weeks ago.

#

Which is why I’m once again suffering for ethereal

#

You can recover your save still through cloud data

#

Slicing winds needs a major buff anyway

#

3 enemies isn’t enough for how difficult this can be

lucid orbit
#

I agree

frank citrus
#

Slicing Winds is probably the hardest to earn thing in the game consistently (some Prismatic seeds may make it easy. The elite swarms of kin of wisp/solaris probes/other ranged hitscan enemies as of late seem to be determined to make this stupid though). Especially if the challenge doesn't have a Brooch.

cyan stratus
#

you just have to learn merc and know how trials work

#

then it's pretty consistent

prime snow
#

i like wiping my save whenever the trial's easy

#

i think my fastest time to reunlock everything was about 5 hours

mental vale
#

The past three prismatic trials suck, hitscan/laser beams that last 40 hours, can't even finish the merc challenge

zenith plinth
#

@mental vale you dont have merc alt R yet?

lucid orbit
#

well i just wiped my save just do the trial again and then i dont get my skill for mercenary

tawdry dune
#

You can restore your save

#

With Save Data Cloud just press + Options over RoR2 and download your old data

gleaming coral
#

so im still top 30 as mult nice

#

pog

wheat adder
#

pog

#

I think from now on I'm going to strictly play Acrid for trials

slim lintel
#

why

wheat adder
#

Because acrid is fun, and extremely satisfying on the current trial

obsidian hinge
#

Acrid is always satisfying tho.

copper spear
#

anyone have advice for doing the mercenary challenge where you dont drop below 100% health on this current trial?

#

or should i just wait for the next one, lol. I was looking for shield items for this seed but couldnt find any

stone ermine
#

this trial seems p easy for ethereal

#

like, just

  1. grab Crayon Accumulator
  2. grab Fuel Cell
  3. instagib boss
  4. grab Eccentric Vase and proceed when cooldown is ready
  5. drop off the cliff right behind spawn, use the vase to cross-map onto artifact portal and GG
#

i haven't done it yet cuz Merc is my least played jammy

#

any tips on the actual execution? perhaps a better route?

#

also i'm never sure whether to use Whirlwind or Rising Thunder

elfin plinth
#

Crayon accumulator

zenith plinth
#

this seed is literally free

#

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

elfin plinth
#

What's preon i only know crayon

slim lintel
#

crayon accelerator

stone ermine
#

fuck yeah

copper spear
#

@stone ermine @zenith plinth thanks guys, i'll try out those strats before the next trial starts

stone ermine
#

how many beetles spawn during S1 bossfight?

#

if it varies on time, i'm asking for like... 2 minutes?

stoic steppe
#

does anyone know what the code is to unlock the new huntress m1

dreamy sandal
#

should probably ask in #ror2-game-questions but idrc, you need to land six killing hits with a single glaive, so basically throw a glaive at some wisp swarm on stage 1 and you'll probably get the acheivment @stoic steppe

stoic steppe
#

ive tried for a while but it alawys bouces to a random unit

dreamy sandal
#

well shit idk then i got it just randomly playing through a run lmao

#

just play until you get it is my only advice

zenith plinth
halcyon hare
copper spear
halcyon hare
#

ability is so sick lol

stone ermine
#

i thought i wouldn't like it, and i see why it's kinda bad

#

but it's actually really fun

ornate dust
#

Hey thank you for the tips !! I literally never try prismatic trials but Idk i felt like checking this discord channel and trying some today. Never thought it would be so easy 😄

#

The ability is super cool. I can see how evicerate is superior but I was expecting a really bad ability.

zinc nest
#

if yall are having trouble with wisps after using preon theres a missile drone on the cliff near the teleporter

peak cobalt
#

Just made it with mercenary :)
Thank you for all your tips ;)
There is a trick for the solub glob if you are slow (like me) or prefer to take your time: before going to the second stage take the rocket launcher drone. Wait for the rocket launcer to be just on top of you before jumping from the platform: the solub will target the drone and you can vase peacfully (~15 meters from the point where you drop).

patent lake
#

I can't seem to find the chest for the vase, help?

peak cobalt
#

it is just on the right where you start and before the first crsytal

#

25$

#

gold chest

patent lake
#

I'm blind. Completely overlooked it. Thanks!

peak cobalt
#

Preon accumulator on the left of the spawn point in gold chest

#

In the current trial, unlocked : Commando Godspeed, Artificer Massacre, Artificer Orbital, Artificer Chunked and Mercenary Ethereal (and possible to easily unlock the Loader survivor)

gleaming coral
#

IMO preon is a bait to try and get the dmgless challenge

#

just make them run off the cliff. 0 chance to take damage. and still just as fast

zenith plinth
#

the pipe trick is indeed much easier imo

#

i tried a bunch with preon but always had difficulty hitting all beetles/something hitting me from behind or other things

gleaming coral
#

pipe strat 0 risk for stage one. Just as much risk (if not a little less because you consistently get there pre 4 mins anyway) for stage 2

stable torrent
#

pipe trick?

gleaming coral
#

stand at the end of the pipe and all of the beetles jump off and die

zenith plinth
#

thats in the trial?

stable torrent
#

nevermind found my own trick to make them run off

zenith plinth
#

congrats! enjoy the alt R

cyan stratus
#

lol i lost a stage 8 all artifacts run to clay templars nice game

zinc nest
#

yea clay templars are pretty annoying

#

especially if you have low movement speed

cyan stratus
#

nah i had high movement speed but apparently bombs can clip through ramps and kill me

zinc nest
#

oh yea that too

wild patio
marsh nacelle
zinc nest
#

how the hell

marsh nacelle
#

i can get 2:32 if I dont mess up

ornate dust
#

@peak cobalt Thank you, I didnt realize you could get "chunked" easily with this prismatic trial. Only 2 challenges left for me !

verbal quiver
#

Two artificer achievements in one with this one! Wow, glad I checked lmao

#

lmao and then elite solus probes instafuck me in the next level

zinc nest
#

if you go fast enough you get lemurians instead

verbal quiver
#

ah okay

#

nothing highlights how bullshit Solus Probes are as much as prismatic trials, though

#

literally just automatically take damage with no counterplay

peak cobalt
#

@verbal quiver : take the rocket launcher drone beside the pipe. The drone will distract the Solus while you vase to the exit

tough belfry
#

literally 1 item and they're useless :v

zinc nest
#

honestly i just kept my distance

weak pulsar
slim lintel
#

No one uses that ability its trash idk why people who struggle to get it so much even bother

hazy locust
#

AFTER 30 FRICCKIN HOURS between the last primsatic trials, I have finally done it! I have the Ehteral achievement! Thank you Cabbage and others!

...wait, this ability sucks.

soft acorn
#

@cyan stratus you got to S8 no abuses? what were the enmy items?

#

slicing winds is better dmg and proc wise, just the mobility and iframes of the default are too damn OP

cyan stratus
#

well that link doesn't work

#

now it does

open arrow
#

Any mercenary tips? Can't do the pipe trick fast enough to clear portal to skip solus

tough belfry
#

do the pipe trick faster then

#

not much else you can do

#

or use preon instead but that's probably harder

open arrow
#

What time do I have to shoot for to skip solus? Sub 4m?

#

I can't really do the pipe trick faster, they're just too slow to jump off the pipe, maybe it's just rng to jump off?

tough belfry
#

do you have alt m2

open arrow
#

I do not

velvet wind
#

do an extra loop of the tp to clump the beetles up more

open arrow
#

Is there possibly a pipe alternative that keeps you within the tp

velvet wind
#

as far as i can tell if you stay in the tp

knotty inlet
#

Hey what should i do with the wisps after preon? trying the mercenary thing

velvet wind
#

the beetles can follow you

#

for the wisps after preon you can either:

  1. dash really well
  2. pick up the will-o-wisp that is a question mark in a green shop in the cave, then wait for the freeze fields to dissapear and kill one
  3. hide, the wisps will eventually fade
knotty inlet
#

how long till they fade?

velvet wind
#

im not exactly sure tbh, maybe someone knows the precise timing?

open arrow
#

What time do you have to leave by to miss solus?

velvet wind
#

probably sub 4, i know that 345 is safe

steel hollow
velvet wind
#

and also to speed up, you can bait the beetles in by moving closer, and hopping off either to the outcropping on the right, or hopping back off a bit and back on (you cannot hop back on if it is a blazing beetle that moves toward you though, or you will take damage)

slim lintel
#

huh wonder if that lee guy is legit, I dont really see where I could squeeze 4 extra seconds

steel hollow
#

there has to be some trick

tough belfry
#

the trick is cheat engine

slim lintel
#

that one is close enough I'm skeptical but I still doubt it

knotty inlet
#

how does the pipetrick work? they still reach me if i stay inside the zone

velvet wind
#

if you back up to the end of the pipe, they will begin to leap off, if there are enough of them clumped on the pipe

#

you also have to stay a certain distance ahead of them

#

or they will track you to the end

knotty inlet
#

okay ty, and btw where do i find the vase?

velvet wind
#

its in the equipment box to the front and the right of the spawn

#

essentially the first box youll see

#

the beginning of the pinned video by cabbage shows where it is, although he uses an entirely different strat

peak cobalt
#

There is a trick for the solub glob if you are slow (like me) or prefer to take your time: before going to the second stage take the rocket launcher drone. Wait for the rocket launcer to be just on top of you before jumping from the platform: the solub will target the drone and you can vase peacfully (~15 meters from the point where you drop).

knotty inlet
#

ty boys

velvet wind
#

^ if you take your time eventually enough beetles will spawn that eventually the tp beetles will get pushed off and die

#

if you dont want to take any risks there, but if you only stand on the end of the pipe it will probably bring you to solus time

peak cobalt
#

solus with rocket launcher drone is more easy

zinc nest
#

keeping your distance from them is usually easy

tawdry dune
#

I did it on switch boys 😭😭😭

hazy locust
#

@tawdry dune I wonder if Cabbage looks down on us poor peasants striving to beat such a simple challenge and sneers in disgust or sheds a tear in pity

slim lintel
#

no he loves it, it grows his youtube channel

tawdry dune
#

I’m using it now and because of how much I did that trial I’m a lot better merc player

main sundial
#

yo @cyan stratus did they patch merc dash into flying hitbox?

#

i was able to do it before but can't seem to get them to take damage now... i'm getting sideways vagrants consistently that aren't being insta'd when i boop them into the ground

tough belfry
#

it still works

main sundial
#

@tough belfry thx

open arrow
#

If you kite them a little close on the pipe and bring them to the end of it and jump to the ledge to the right they'll jump off

#

Use that method if you find yourself waiting for one last mob to jump

#

I did that and made it to sub 4m to avoid solus

#

It was very annoying regardless

fresh latch
#

I just took a video of me flawless-ing the current prismatic run as mercenary in case anyone wants to see it. I'll link to it as soon as it's done uploading. I know some ppl (myself included lol) prefer visual guides

#

whats the fastest time in this prismatic trial?

#

2.25 minutes or something

2:27, maybe 2:23 but idk if the dude is legit or not

how shit this is fun

#

also fantastic set to get mercenary challenge done

slim lintel

its crazy how all huntress needed to be top tier is for her dps to not matter

i hate life

youll get it

zenith plinth
#

can someone tell me how much time is left on this prismatic trial?

crimson crow
#

22.3 hours

zenith plinth
#

ah thank you

crimson crow
#

np!

hard spire
#

After the first map on the prismatic trial, how do you keep from taking damage?

#

I got the eye beam dudes.

#

I can't keep from getting hit.

fresh latch
#

you have to get to the second map before like, 4 min or something. then it spawns lemurians instead of those orb guys

cyan stratus
hard spire
#

Thanks my dudes.

slim lintel
#

thats slow cabbage play a real character

cyan stratus
#

bet u cant beat it with mult

slim lintel
#

what time do you activate s1 as mult

#

just got a 2:37 with awful runes

#

I'm hittins s1 tele at like 22s as mult

cyan stratus
#

21

slim lintel
#

are you going in the crystal near tele and shooting the 2nd one to hit both or doing something different

cyan stratus

are you going in the crystal near tele and shooting the 2nd one to hit both or doing something different

I cant finish this trial

fair musk
#

vase + bfg + fuel cell can help if you want to beat the trial by going through the normal portal. If you go through the sky meadows bigbig portal you can skip the combat/crystals in sky meadows. Use the vase to cross from one side of sky meadow to the other quickly.

#

wait, I'm dumb, I act like I always have 2 equipment slots but I know that only one character does that >_<

modern moth
#

Do logs drop in trials?

stone ermine
#

Mul-T is the only one to hold 2 equipment but the Preon and Vase are close to each other and on the same stage so just swap before you proceed

tranquil seal
#

@cyan stratus oh I just found your video on youtube

#

gonna attempt to do it

tranquil seal
#

Yesssss

#

I missed the first quantum tunnel LOL

#

i had to go around dodging shit for 45seconds

#

made the end way more intense :p

stable torrent
#

damn i should have mentioned this 24hrs ago but for people who are wondering how to deal with the solus probes, you can use the vase to teleport down to the first platform (the one normally through a hole that leads across a bridge to the artifact portal), except since the bridge below didn't spawn, you just wait for the vase to come back off cooldown, that's how i did mine even with the elite solus bois

#

basically; 2 vase uses

tranquil seal
#

I simply completed the first level under 4 minutes

#

picking up 0 items

#

if you stand on the pipe the beetles will walk off the map and die

#

then you just wait for the portal to charge on top of something

stable torrent
#

that works too but i suck ;P i wanted the vase so the second stage passes quicker no matter what, i figured less time in the stage also means less chance of getting clipped

tranquil seal
#

yeah I took the vase as well for the 2nd stage

#

I would have been done with the whole thing quite quickly if I hadn't missed the vase

#

hold on let me get a picture lol

#

so this happened :' D

stable torrent
#

big F

#

i couldn't see that lower island from near spawn so i went to the one further left instead

tranquil seal
#

I still managed to get it in the end but it was really hard to dodge all the fireballs spit by the lemurians from every direction

stable torrent
#

nice

marsh nacelle
#

hittin S1 tele at 18 seconds as rex

#

could get 17 if I play a bit better, and then not mess up the runes and maybe get a low 2:31

brazen sand
#

now i never need to complete a challenge in this game til next update

mellow tide
#

@brazen sand how tf you clear the second stage with those damn laser eyeballs without taking any damage?

peak cobalt
#

2 solutions : clear the first stage with the pipe trick under 4 minutes to have lemurians at second stage, or take the rocket launcher drone at stage one : the rocket launcher drone will disturb the solub if one is too close. You can vase to tp while the drone "play".
If your check the history of this channel, all informations are there with video 😉

brazen sand
#

honestly i just didn't aggro the two that spawned and booked it to the artiporter

mellow tide
#

ok thanks for the tips, ill give it another go lmao

brazen sand
#

almost lost it on the second stage but my dash saved me in time

#

go through cabbage's video, it helps

autumn grail
#

Im looking at this like.. how the hell are you guys completing so fast

#

I've only been playing for about a week but damn..

brazen sand
#

7 minutes ain't fast

#

that one brodinger got earlier, now that's fast

autumn grail
#

bruh...

#

So who is the best survivor for this trial atm?

tough belfry
#

huntress or maybe rex idk about rex

worthy granite
#

How possible is ethereal on this trial?

tough belfry
#

ez

slim lintel
#

huntress > rex > mult for this trial

worthy granite
#

should I rush or are there specific items i should grab? Brainstalks looks pretty enticing

slim lintel
#

only thing you even remotely need is the vase

worthy granite
#

what elite is the lemurian horde?

#

wait nvm

indigo snow
#

Huntress > everything all the time wym

grave shore
#

Oh yeah I am curious about that as well, how possible is ethereal on this trial

slim lintel
#

shyguy go play speen rhythm ur like the only ror2 mod not playing it get with the times

indigo snow
#

All I play rn is Div and HK

#

🙁

patent flax
#

HTW are you supposed to do a prismatic trial without taking damage as mercenary

#

i finally made it past the first area with no damage and it goes, lets do the enemy you cant dodge easily

golden coral
#

wanna know whats sad when you are using the vase on a mercenary run and u leave the quantum tunnel and take dmg leaving it

velvet wind
#

if you can get to the second section in less than four minutes

#

you get lemurians that are a lot easier to dodge

patent flax
#

hmm

#

thats possible, but how can I get the missle, frag, syringe, crit lense, and runalds band in that time?

#

or what should I skip

golden coral
#

ez dont get any items

patent flax
#

wisps are bitches btw

golden coral
#

sit on the pipe next to portal and let the beetles fall off then head to the next stage

patent flax
golden coral
#

theres a vid higher in this chat showing how to do it

unborn whale
#

i just took the prion and stood on the pillar

patent flax
#

how do you dodge the lemurians

#

theyre giving me troub;le

tawdry dune
#

You just do. I did it somehow, after too many tries to feel good about.

#

Mercenary Never give up

velvet wind
#

theres a pinned video that shows a route you can take

#

essentially theres like one lemurian that will spawn in your path

#

use it to double dash

#

and weave a little and you should be good

grave shore
#

I think I’m a degenerate lmao

#

I just realized the switch and PC PTs are different

patent flax
velvet wind
#

did you get it mate?

patent flax
#

yeah

#

velvet wind
#

nice nice

marsh nacelle
#

i spent 2 hours trying to get below 2:30 and got within half a second which is upsetting

#

but its very possible as REX if played perfectly

#

2:28 i think is doable with my route

patent flax
#

that wasnt my time that was my rank

#

i think i can get a good loader time

#

3:05

dense wedge
#

does anybody have any tips for completing this with the mercenary, for the achievement of course

simple comet
#

dont

#

the reward is hot garbage

cyan stratus
#

this is the 2nd hardest trial for ethereal so far

dense wedge
#

idrc if the reward is garbage, im a completionist and its on my to do list

vapid merlin
#

knock it out another day

dense wedge
#

lol k

hybrid igloo
#

which was the hardest for ethereal so far

indigo snow
#

About a week or so ago

#

Nobody got it, at all

#

At least, nobody here

velvet wind
#

i mean, its still kinda nice to have the achievement done in the hopes it gets buffed

#

also yeah this current one is brutal for ethereal

tawdry hamlet
#

Best character for todays?

slim lintel
#

best character for this trial is to play a different game

tawdry hamlet
#

damn lol

serene pumice
#

i cant beat it i tgried so many times

solemn fiber
#

so when cabbage doin it

stone ermine
#

ever since artifacts it's been one or the other with the trials

  1. who the fuck can beat this sub 20
  2. lol come get ur free ethereal lmao
#

good thing i got ethereal on the last one cuz i actually like slicing winds

shy ferry
#

big flex

slim lintel
#

over 2 weeks btw and no patches for a single bug the update brought in

delicate grove
#

hotfixes are not the purpose of early access

solemn fiber
#

whats more important: the final update coming in 2 months or fixing some bugs that could be fixed within the final update

serene pumice
#

how to beat this prismatic

solemn fiber
#

wait to see if cabbage can

serene pumice
#

cabbage?

tough belfry
#

cabbage is the greatest ror2 youtuber ever

slim lintel
#

Ah yes, just leave the game in complete disarray for months good plan

delicate grove
slim lintel
#

also early access should be about fixing bugs as the game progresses that was originally its whole point

#

Yeah I expect bugs, I also expect them to get fixed

delicate grove
#

yikes

slim lintel
#

when tf did everyone decide to stand for this shit lmao

delicate grove
#

i think most people just have respect for the developers

slim lintel
#

I used to have respect for hopoo but this games shitshow of an EA model has made that slowly diminish over time

queen granite
#

I just want the title screen to be optimized...

solemn fiber
#

shitshow of an EA model
they're 3 fucking people. 3. you're expecting 3 people to get all this work done along with the final update in 2 months and get hotfixes for all these bugs easily done in 2 weeks?

#

if you want why don't you try out fixing all these bugs

slim lintel
#

k

soft acorn
#

EA allows games to happen that would otherwise have never gotte anywhere. Ror2 probs wouldn't be a thing if they just ran out of cash 15 months before release

#

Not to mention releaseday product quality is much better than the alternative

#

Peope scruitinise EA launches enough as it is imo

slim lintel
#

smh you know what I'm done with this game and its community

elfin plinth
#

:l

burnt compass
#

lol he actually left

#

hilarous lmao

elfin plinth
#

suspecting a comeback after a good while
i'll forget

soft acorn
#

:|

zenith plinth
#

Lmao who was that noob

chrome minnow
#

sorry for maybe a dumb question but how the heck do i complete a trial without getting hit?

tough belfry
#

this one isn't an easy one for that

chrome minnow
#

gotcha so i should wait for a certain week? like is there scheduled maps for different weeks?

tough belfry
#

it's random

#

changes every 3 days

#

you can check #prismatic-trials to see if there's anyone saying it's easy or you can watch cabbage (usually pinned video) to see what the trial is actually like

#

but for now you can't do much but wait

#

actually if you're console that doesn't apply oops

dense wedge
#

we trust in cabbage, that's all i needa say

prime snow
#

i dont think its unreasonable to expect bug fixes

#

especially in an early access, because maybe they dont get fixed in the big update or (extremely likely) something else comes up once you fix one

dense wedge
#

i love the bug that casually allows the mercenary to phase shift through walls or the floor, killed my run for his obliteration skin earlier today

cloud creek
#

Question for the mercenary challenge. Does the shield matter? I’m asking if it counts as health in the challenge.

reef wigeon
#

Is this a good trial for Merc?

lucid bobcat
#

none of them are good for merc wyta

reef wigeon
#

well, the one with the bomb-dropping wisps and then jellyfish and glass artifact kinda was

tough belfry
#

shield Transcendence Shield_Generator counts as health

delicate grove
#

this is pretty terrible if you are trying to get the ethereal achievement

dense wedge
#

wait a second, the shield from the lunar item counts as hp dmg for the achievement???

quiet cradle
#

Yep. Can't cheese it.

dense wedge
#

that actually gives me a bit of depression tbh

#

but topaz scarlet works right?

#

and other shield items

delicate grove
#

dont think so

misty zealot
#

shield doesn’t work but brooch heath will protect you

robust scroll
#

Don't barriers count towards your total HP now, or is that just for one-shot protection?

sharp canyon
#

So basically artifacts just about nuked anyone's chances of unlocking the ethereal challenge for people who didn't unlock it before... awesome

dense wedge
#

Not necessarily, some artifacts are easy to deal with

#

Others, pain in the ass

#

Like the glass artifact, u don’t wanna get hit so what’s the difference

clever mountain
#

what bug iforgotwho was talking about

#

the one that pt now has charging times for the teles?

feral river
#

pt?

clever mountain
#

prismatic trials

alpine nova
#

is it even possible with the current pt to do merc's challenge?

#

cuz uh, im kinda major doo doo at dodging all these wisps

delicate grove
#

your best bet is to get the three drones on stage 1 and hope the mobs try and hit those instead of you

#

there is an atg missile in the red chest and a primordial cube in the shrine of chance aswell which can be useful

elfin plinth
#

Um,green item in red(always legendary) chest?

delicate grove
#

i mean red chest as in the colour red (the one you get damage items from)

elfin plinth
#

Oh

delicate grove
#

get to stage 2 before 10 mins and get the preon accumulator from the timed chest, and the crit glasses in one of the small chests, then camp the boss with preon from the top of the mountain i guess

dawn marlin
#

there is also a brainstalks in a normal chest near the ice canyon thingy

solemn fiber
#

@cyan stratus no video?

cyan stratus
#

been busy with exams and this one wasn't doable in 1 hour

#

i could try a bit later today

#

only got past stage 1 damageless a couple times though

zenith plinth
#

oh god oh fuck i got a ~5:20 and then died to a lesser wisp after activating the teleporter

indigo snow
#

Gl on exams

glacial sundial
#

Anybody have any tips for speed running this one? I got a 4:28 time

zenith plinth
#

what route did you use for 4:28

#

I'm working on a huntress route that could get maybe 4:35 if done absolutely perfectly

zenith plinth
#

this is the best I got for speed, I'm not great with huntress but all my fastest test runs were with her

tough belfry
#

triple blink is faster, i haven't tried the trial myself but i don't think damage items are needed

#

also the topaz brooch not needed

#

could maybe do it without preon

delicate grove
#

the atg missile helps a lot

#

esp with loader

tough belfry
#

but for going fast it loses time because of tele charge

#

90 seconds to kill the bosses should be enough

delicate grove
#

i already go through enough pain grinding CE runs okay

tough belfry
#

and dying is hard with her triple blink and m2

delicate grove
#

let me have one atg missile

#

no one wants to fight blazing + overloading dunestrider without any damage

zenith plinth
#

@tough belfry only took atg because i was sitting on 99% for about 10 seconds at the last boss

storm moth
#

how do you guys deal with todays trial, specifically the fucking bombs

serene trench
#

I played huntress with triple blink and just jumped around

#

the feather you get from the first boss is really nice

delicate grove
#

wouldnt regular huntress dash be better for getting to the stage 2 tp?

tough belfry
#

i can't see it being better, especially with a feather

#

it's just so slow

#

and massive cooldown

delicate grove
#

4:10 is as far as im willing to grind, theres a loader above me with 4:03 but meh

#

its not really that fun of a trial as loader tbh, most of getting the crystals is pretty jank

#

im also way more scared of dunestriders than i have any right to be

cyan stratus
#

this is a pretty good trial for anyone who needs ethereal

#

since all you have to do is not get hit

cyan stratus
cobalt pasture
#

how do you beat prismatic trials as merc when all the enemies are wisps?

cyan stratus
#

...

clever mountain
#

say it

static summit
#

why do these trials make me want to throw myself off of the map

cyan stratus
#

that's actually a good strat if wisps spawn at 55sec but you have to slow your fall so you dont take dmg

static summit
#

i hit tele at 33 secs on huntress

short dirge
#

I’m a massive fan of adding the artifacts to prismatic. Makes it a real challenge sometimes

prime snow
#

lol just got cabbage recommended to me on youtube, i dont even watch ror2 vids

cyan stratus
#

i wonder how that works lol

solemn fiber
indigo snow
#

You're supposed to do that before I notice the video

#

This doesn't feel right

#

the only mod i have is harbs debug console

#

any mod = qp disabled & prismatic disabled

#

@wooden goblet

wooden goblet
#

gotcha

hot wagon
#

is it even possible to do a prismatic trial without taking damage as mercenary anymore?

silk parcel
#

yes

#

depends on the seed

#

just be vigilant and check each seed and then check here. people generally post their runs if they do it. also just takes a bit of time and learning the ins and outs of the specific seed you are going on

thorny crown
#

Or you can just be a God at the game

#

That also usually helps

#

Most of the time

celest sandal
#

Prismatic Trials are insanely hard not to take damage

#

This seed the first stage I can manage with no damage

#

But the blazing and glacial bosses in the second

#

Especially THAT boss, sheesh

cyan stratus
#

if you can pass the 1st stage consistently it's just a matter of time, that's definitely the hard part

static nova
#

Anyone knows how good the Xbox pt is for unlocking ethereal?

cyan stratus
#

should be easy since all you have to do is not get hit

static nova
#

🤣

earnest lantern
#

I hope a seed for a mercenary run shows up soon

#

Well I guess someone did post something for this one but it looks intense

cyan stratus
#

dont you want to feel like you earned the challenge

#

if you get it on this seed you can brag about your merc skills

earnest lantern
#

I'm relatively new to getting in the game, my merc skills are non existent xD

#

I would need a lot of practice to do what you did

#

Especially consistently getting the slope jumps

delicate grove
#

just spin and become helicopter

zenith plinth
#

NNYYOOOOOMM

cyan stratus
#

@pearl eagle you're the only one left now please come back

#

everyone else is gone

pearl eagle
#

lmao, you've made your choice, and I've made mine

#

Teleporter is still bugged right?

cyan stratus
#

yes

pearl eagle
#

I'm not touching anything speed related until thats fixed

cyan stratus
#

you can do ethereal, it's fun

#

this one took me 25 minutes

pearl eagle
#

Bruh

#

Ethereal seems kinda fun to do, but I'm afraid it's going to take a bit too long to actually get good

cyan stratus
#

i just miss you stealing my mult strats and beating my times by a second

pearl eagle
#

Give me a MUL-T run and I'll give it a go

#

Please don't btw, thanks

cyan stratus
#

mult is dead

pearl eagle
#

Yeah, if Artificier somehow became fast again I might pick it up though, because her routes were always so fun and interesting to pull off

#

Or atleast they used to be. Have to say playing her after they changed the fireball sprint thing was really annoying

cyan stratus
#

yeah i miss mult vs artificer

cyan stratus
#

ok so this trial is very interesting

#

im not sure how to do it honestly

delicate grove
#

using recycler you can get an atg missle from green item at around 3 mins i think?

#

first is usually bandolier then infusion/fuel cell

crystal cape
#

how are you supposed to kill 2 overloading grovekeepers while also dealing with double spawn solus probes

#

this trial is painful

#

how come sometimes in the first teleporter you get 2 glacial greater wisps but in my last run i got 5

#

is the set seed only for items? like not for the tp bosses?

tender hull
#

I believe bosses change after a certain time

crystal cape
#

:(

rain solar
#

@static nova i only play with an xbox controller and managed to get ethereal after watching a cabbage run

cyan stratus
midnight pollen
#

I don't know if I'm just garbage but I haven't been able to complete a prismatic trial post-artifact update. It sucks because I haven't gotten scythe yet. Been trying for the past few days.

scenic forge
#

I know ethereal is not the best ability, but I still like it.

#

Adds a different play style to merc.

lucid bobcat
#

a different playstyle that is usually worse

scenic forge
#

That can be quite the challenge at times.

#

That’s why it’s fun.

#

Slicing winds I mean not ethereal lol

crystal cape
#

i need video evidence of this trial being possible

#

im all for difficult challenges, but this feels distinctly cheap

prime snow
#

It takes forever but its doable

#

As in literally honking around near oob with a preon waiting on cd long

#

Unless its changed, lmao

#

Time isn't real for me right now

trail yew
#

hey uh. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU BEAT THE CHALLENGE WITHOUT FALLING UNDER 100 PERCENT HP AS MERCENARY WHAT

elfin plinth
#

by not getting hit

trail yew
#

but

#

but wisps tho 😦

elfin plinth
#

i need to repeat myself?

trail yew
#

yes please

elfin plinth
#

ahem

#

by not getting hit

trail yew
#

but its like

elfin plinth
#

i said

trail yew
#

super difficult and stuff (is the alternate r even good?)

elfin plinth
#

no it isnt

trail yew
#

rad]

elfin plinth
#

alt r sucks lmao

trail yew
#

why is it so difficult tho

elfin plinth
#

because

cyan stratus
#

this trial easy for ethereal. but for some reason i get massive fps drops during teleporter which makes timing hard

elfin plinth
#

cabbage being hacked by devs so ethereal wouldn't be easy

earnest lantern
#

How is this trial easy for ethereal?

#

It seems worse than yesterdays..

#

Which yesterday, I cleared that prismatic trial (my first one cleared) with rex, after grabbing every item on the maps, with 11 minutes to spare before the trial switch :P

alpine berry
#

I agree with YoungSauce, this prismatic trial is hard af

quaint stratus
#

tHiS TriAL iS EaSy For EtHeReAL

#

not saying it is impossible to complete, but it is nowhere near "easy for ethereal"

cyan stratus
#

it's much easier than last trial

#

overall difficulty level will be harder than before artifacts but it's relatively easy

vapid merlin
#

it is much easier

drifting plume
#

I am going to scout out this seed. because I never done the ethereal challenge before

#

I am new to this but I am trying 😛

cyan stratus
earnest lantern
#

Bruh

drifting plume
#

I knew that to beat the boss you needed to slam them. but I don't know how to do it consistently

earnest lantern
#

The out of the map stuff was the main thing I was eh about but that artifact portal cheese is real nice

cyan stratus
#

siren's call is stupidly broken so why wouldn't i take advantage of it

drifting plume
#

my plan was using the squid and the healing totems and let them do the damage. but I didn't know that was even possible

cyan stratus
#

did you know you can fall out of bounds forever without getting teleported back up on certain parts of the map

drifting plume
#

nope

earnest lantern
#

Is there any significance to the standing on the wall part?

#

Or is that to let enemies reset or something?

cabbage also happens to have a video explaining slamming

shadow root
#

whats the red item for completing the alloy worship unit boss?

earnest lantern
#

I don't understand how you're glitching out of the map Cabbage, no matter how many times I do it it doesn't do anything

drifting plume
#

I found out how to do it

#

look a little bit down to mimic what his screen looked like

earnest lantern
#

Nvm I got it, looks like it's a very exact general area you have to be looking at

drifting plume
#

yea

#

this is the first time I have done this. like I know I can do it. I just need to learn to do it

earnest lantern
#

So that's how he takes out the greater wisps in the run as well

#

Good to know

#

Yeah I just insta-died to them xD I don't know if I'll be able to do this

drifting plume
#

I suck at slaming. I only have done that once. but that was by accedent

earnest lantern
#

As soon as they spawned the were launching fireballs at me, I took instant damage

drifting plume
#

for me it spawns 4 to 5

earnest lantern
#

That as well, I had a bunch of greater wisps, does that have to do with time on clock? I assumed maybe he had to do something and that's why he sat on the wall for so long

drifting plume
#

yea maybe

tough belfry
#

read the description

earnest lantern
#

Ah I see, I was just watching it from the discord video so I couldn't see that

#

So it's to reach the monster cap then?

solemn fiber
#

@indigo snow 😎

drifting plume
#

oh it was there. sadly I am not smart >,<

tough belfry
#

probably worth testing if it's just based on time but the safest place to wait would be where monsters don't spawn anyway

earnest lantern
#

Well the waiting time is so more monsters spawn

#

But if you're using the recycler time for the missiles if you're not good at slamming like myself, you'll hit the time needed to only get two wisps anyway

drifting plume
#

where are the missiles?

earnest lantern
#

He explains that in the description as well

#

You have to recycle 3 items and then reycle that 2nd equipment and instead of eccentric vase you get the missile launcher

#

Then sit in your spawn and spam away

drifting plume
#

oh, I didn't get that when I read that XD

#

when I read it is just items that are possible in the stage. and I didn't get that part at all >,<

earnest lantern
#

It explains it at the bottom

drifting plume
#

thats what I read and thats why I was even more confused XD

earnest lantern
#

So my brother ran into some issues with the missile launcher strat, his teleporter spawned in a grovetender, and also when sitting at spawn all the monsters just ran up and attacked him there

drifting plume
#

I think I am going to just glitch in the floor and use the rockets. but I am not smart so IDK

earnest lantern
#

Also my 3rd green recycle is becoming a lepton daisy and not a fuelcell

#

Nvm, for whatever reason my 3rd recycle just didn't trigger even though it went on cooldown

cyan stratus
earnest lantern
#

Awesome, thanks Cabbage

hallow fjord
#

wish I could filter the leaderboards by character. I want to see how well people do with the trail without using some instant momentum kill exploit.

#

or it might be pointless anyway because its pretty easy to cheat with cheat engine or some mod

earnest lantern
#

So I beat the great wisps... and it instantly spawned 4 grovetenders on my location with homing bullets :/

#

As soon as I left that tower on spawn

zenith plinth
#

honestly, I shouldve gotten harvester's scythe before it got too ridiculous to even be able to complete a prismatic trial

earnest lantern
#

I've made so many runs to get to the sit under the map and get the teleporter charged... not a single time have I gotten elder lemurians to spawn, it's always the other big enemies that are near impossible for me to dodge while trying to get there, is there some special tactic to getting elder lemurians to spawn or literally just rng?

cyan stratus
#

just rng but you should be able to dodge anything with iframes

#

@delicate grove ur the 20 stages guy right, have you had a greater wisp spawn, shoot and kill you even though you have full razorwire spam?

delicate grove
#

Yeah

#

If their attack starts before they start dying they will finish it

#

Greater wisp is best friends with magma worm

cyan stratus
#

yeah i was just going brain afk and randomly died on stage 18

#

didnt know there was a way to die at that point but i guess you need to dodge by punching upwards slightly

delicate grove
#

that is confirmed to work by many renowned doctors

tidal hamlet
#

why is there 4 whisp all of a sudden? there was only two last night?

terse wharf
#

it might be affected by the timer, if you get there later there could be more

tidal hamlet
earnest lantern
#

You want the timer to get past the 1st tick on easy at least by a little, I usually wait until at least 3:50ish to 4:00

#

That's why in Cabbages video he sits on the wall for so long

tidal hamlet
#

hmm, I was wondering why he did that

#

thanks, I shall try that

earnest lantern
#

I found the hard way greater wisps can shoot at you through certain spots while you're under the teleporter :( was probably going to be the run

sacred lantern
#

gawd im new at this game cant even beat the trial with taking damage sad i just want to unlock harvester scythe :/

tidal hamlet
#

I finally got it with the mage starting it at 3:30 and then just out ranging the wisps while holding space to hover in the air and avoid the swarm

#

thanks Young, for the help

earnest lantern
#

I finally beat the trial, but I took damage 5 seconds after getting to the 2nd stage :( There was 2 robotic eyeballs that spawned right next to me and they shot pin point lasers at me

drifting plume
#

I've been doing a slightly different route

#

I am still failing but I am getting farther then I used too

wheat musk
#

does the recycler recycle to the same item every run?

cyan stratus
#

yeah i posted a txt file for this seed a while back

stable mist
#

It's also on his YouTube videos he posted for the etherial runs..

Finally beat it hitless.. Had to avoid three Grovetenders getting to out of map and a Cylus Orb in the second zone..
You can avoid falling off the map by just landing from the jump pad and jumping off the edge if you want a slightly safer route.. ha..

earnest lantern
#

I'm so annoyed

lucid bobcat
#

cool

earnest lantern
#

2 robotic eyeballs spawned on the bridge to the jump pad and lasered me

tough belfry
#

this is what you signed up for when you decided to get ethereal

earnest lantern
#

I've been at it for over 24 hours

#

And all my really amazing runs I get I get grovekeepers, and this one I got a grovekeeper as the boss instead of wisps

cyan stratus
#

just activate between 3:50 and 4:10 and you're fine

#

if you activate at 8:00 what do you expect

earnest lantern
#

I activate after 3:55

#

Anything before that I get 5 greater wisps, and that run was the first time I got grovekeeper, it was completely random

#

I'm usually waiting around the teleporter for ~10-15 secoonds because I get there around 3:40-3:45

#

Even trying to learn the slam technique, I get greater lemurians approaching the teleporter and 5 greater wisps, even though I'm activating 5 seconds after you did

cyan stratus
#

you have to manipulate the director into not spawning 6 wisps. the strat i did is the most consistent way i found

#

if you do that you'll get 2 wisps like 90% of the time

earnest lantern
#

How do you manipulate the director better?

cyan stratus
#

i dont have authority to speak on that topic

earnest lantern
#

Alright then :P

dense wedge
#

are we allowed to ping the devs if their shits too hard XD

#

i can be unhit in a normal game without the teddys until like stage 20(monsoon) but their 2 stage trial screws me everytime

stable mist
#

Trial and error? I spent about 10 hours on it before I got a hitless run.. Not good at slamming so I had to farm out the random spawns after rockets..

stable mist
#

Just completed one using slamming.. first attempt.. got 9 minutes but it wasn't hitless..

earnest lantern
#

I'm so sick of this challenge spawning unavoidable attacks right on top of me

#

I've spent 2 entire days on this challenge and I get screwed over every single time

#

It's just so garbage ending up being so close but literally not being able to do anything about getting hit

cyan stratus
#

just save iframes and react to spawn sounds

lofty meteor
#

Why is this seed so hard I just want Harvesters Scythe

cyan stratus
#

if you just want to complete it it's braindead easy as loader

earnest lantern
#

It's not about saving iframes, it's things spawning at the worst possible time and locations, Cylus orbs spawning right on top of me and hitting with their aoe electric shield when I'm coming down from the spawn tower, or coming up to sitting under the teleporter and great wisps spawn almost inside and instant shoot me in confined spaces

cyan stratus
#

idk i never had problems with any of that

earnest lantern
#

It ruins every one of my runs, it's extremely frustrating, when I tried to go for the slam method, elder lemurians spawned on teleporter and instant killed me while I activated and then I got 5 wisps on top of that for the boss

thorny garden
#

Whats the current Ptrials artifacts?

green walrus
#

i ceep getting so close then a random blaze will arrive and one shot me i hate this so much

stable mist
#

Spite, Honor, Dissonance, and Swarms

prime lantern
#

kinda fucked myself with that

drifting heron
#

yeah

zenith plinth
#

Who wants to play??

cyan stratus
#

that's why you slam them downwards, any other direction and they take 5min to come back

prime lantern
#

mine didnt even come back
I left my game unpaused for about an hour and it was still up there

slender dragon
#

If enemy is too far away,it won't cognize you

drifting sinew
#

so has anyone know the walkthrough for getting the Mercenary challenge for this seed? because i am just about at my limit trying to figure out how to do this one.

#

i for the life of me can't find a defense item at all besides one tougher times and all i'm finding are lepton daisy's

pearl onyx
#

dont get hit

plucky swift
#

Not sure if I picked the right time to try and get the harvester's scyte

solemn fiber
#

just gotta wait till tis easy

plucky swift
#

What's the reset time?

solemn fiber
#

every 3 days

steel anvil
#

If you play as loader you can demolish entire groups in one shot

#

And if you stack the will of the wisps on the first stage you’ll clear them out even more

#

Then you just quickly swing down to the artifact portal as soon as you get onto the second stage and it’s done

stuck hinge
#

Is the prismatic trial only available at certain times?

prime snow
#

the seed lasts 3 days at a time

#

prismatic trials disables itself if you have any mods installed

stuck hinge
#

Oh ok, thanks

drifting sinew
#

thanks anyway guys. i appreciate the tips. i'll just keep trying

cyan stratus
#

i think i can get ethereal on this trial with my monitor off, for anyone who needs the achievement

cyan stratus
drifting sinew
#

just completed it myself, GODDAMN this one was so much easier

slender dragon
#

Impressive.

clever mountain
#

the dead elder lemurian on the thumbnail lel

keen grove
delicate grove
#

your time is 2:28

keen grove
#

thanks

delicate grove
#

interesting way of getting to the teleporter

#

hadnt thought of doing it that way with the mid air drone

keen grove
#

I learnt the drone thing from cabbage

delicate grove
#

that was a super good artifact buttons too

#

i usually fumble the hell out of them

proper lynx
#

just managed to get ethereal myself, thanks @cyan stratus for the guides. took me a few tries and it was rage inducing lol

earnest lantern
#

Just got it done in 3:38 for my flawless mercenary, on attempt 3, this was so much more peaceful and less rage/headache inducing than my struggle yesterday

proper lynx
#

@earnest lantern i feel u lol. at least it was lucky that sky meadow was the 2nd stage for both last and this trial so we dont actually have to do 2 stages

earnest lantern
#

Yeah, and the command being able to choose the brooch is a huge stress reliever too

zenith plinth
#

does the current trial start at rallypoint delta

earnest lantern
#

Yeah

zenith plinth
#

awesome

earnest lantern
#

Just got 5th on the board to see LadleHater with the 1:16 run.. dang

earnest lantern
#

I think I got as fast as I'll be able to get, I don't understand what you guys are doing to get your high speed big damage punches from standing still that helps you traverse faster as well

drifting plume
#

that was a completely different strategy for ethereal compared to what I did.

#

at least I did this one my self so I am happy 😛
