2 seconds can be saved if a blazing beetle destroys the crystal next to the stage 1 teleporter, but not sure if thats purely rng. Tried a bunch of times to land directly in the artifact code bit but bounced off :(
loader run if anyones interested, i think its the fastest non-cheating run atm
ohhh yeah finally got sub 3 with merc 😄
is that normal grapple wig?
its the default grapple ability yeah
i see
You know what I'm happy
is this trial easy for mercenary unlock?
i think so
it is
there is a video in pinned of someone doing it
well i did it with this trial
oh got it
thx
i tried it yesterday but it was a pain in the ass with all the wisps
wisp again here :/
wisps will always be here
and solub probe on the second level
if youre fast enough lemurians will spawn instead
?
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
a week ago the trial was super hard that cabbage couldn't do it hitless
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
thanks for the tip ^^
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
nah not at all necessary, just a very nice safety net and lowers the skill floor by a bunch
ye
theres also a preon accumulator opposite the vase but thats if youre feeling spicy
nah thats slower in every run
Who said spicy needed to be fast
does 'never' count
i used it once, if this counts
so pretty
note, definitely crashed very shortly after.
man v good prismatic trials chat
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
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
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
exactly
same issue with huntress honestly
i have trouble getting to the artifact tp quickly with anything but loader
what's your mult time
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
it resets your m1 swap thing when you go into a new stage?
Close, terrible stage 1 and good practice stage 2
what s1 time?
s1?
stage 1
ah, like a 32 sec tp start
you can get at least <30 without rng
with blazing beetle killing crystal <25
i suck at the artifact code thing so much
yeah on a 29 rn. but main issue for me is rebar punching that far one, stupid hp bar
flex complete
now go for 2:45
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
you think rex can make top 50?
yeah ez
yeah that was my first sub 3 character
M2 shreds the first stage
sadly no momentum conserving for stage 2 is real sad
im just trying to meme too lol
yeah, i dont know if my stage 2 is optimal
you can probably do it just jump off then vase
i just immediately go to the bottom asap then jump off and vase, re use boost save all momentum
yeah
does everyone else have to jump to use the vase on stage two?
nah dont think so, its just faster to yeet
setting up take time, which bad
god the mult nades are inconsistent
the m1 alt
I don't understand the trick to do a double dash without enemies like this https://youtu.be/MaNYiOg_4sE?t=292 : any pointer ?
this was streamed live on twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/ror2cabbage
so the quality isn't very good but it should still be watchable
apparently there's a preon behind you where you spawn so you can just grab that instead and ignore everything else i did
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
well actually he hit E then Q
yeah soz, my b
thank you
binding mess arounds i guess haha
yes me too (azerty kerboard there ^^)
AIDAN NOOO
i surpassed him by too much
@tough belfry ayy i see your time, 0.48 seconds more oof :(
just beat it again
:(
:)))
who cares
:)))
so curious though, whats your loader set up?
and I'm happy to be rank 433 XD
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.
do you mean mult
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
i only have default abilities because i have never played mult in base game
yeah, i should try nail gun, probably just as good haha
i only use rebar puncher
hmm, thats an idea, conserve rebar when shifting to the box, ooh
thats a time save boggers
the one you get from beating two beetle queens
you can just shoot while moving anyway
okay 1 more good time.
start shooting then sprint or "transport mode"
yeah i know, you can charge rebar then sprint and realease
if i got that time without thtat trick id be a god
i dont think nail gun would be very good for this one
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
not worth it, it does like no damage
how many people on average attempt a prismatic trial?
usually 0
new update + free weekend or whatever had people playing to unlock scythe
I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow and try sit next to a mul-t
2am, you Australian?
Same
@tough belfry >:)
thats me done for the night for sure. sub 240 feels so good though
wait that 233 on merc is nuts
балда
sadly we'll never beat the asians
cheaty peets :(
unless they have some forbidden tech, like mashing escape increments the port timer but not game timer.
they have special asian tps
and just use regular m1 for this, its better, if you arent already
yeah I was
dang thats kinda sad, youre a fulll 10 sec faster than me :(
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
why not just circle kite them off a cliff
or do you not want to get too much money?
oh is the cliff in the tele range? I didnt even think about that
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 :(
idk how to fast as huntress
thanks for the pipe strat folks, got ethereal
:)
why must the devs make prismatic trials so... painful?
Hi
yeeesssssss i'm so happy this succes is so hard 😂
Good job!
What's the record for the current trial?
theres a vase on S1 and you use it s2 to go directly to the artifact teleporter
oh I got that
actually saying that just made me realize I'm dumb and can probably shave a few seconds off my time
you can completely skip the 2nd teleporter event by going to the bottom tele
damn true
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
could be better fumbled the runes a bit
where is there an accumulator?
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.
Thanks but I meant in the trial
Oh yeah sorry
its behind you when you spawn
mul t when he uses shift be like: shoom
mul t 🤢
mul-t more like but-t
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?
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
so do not even bother try to kill the boss
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
wait the first place i spawn tho is the ice place
we should have a prismatic trial pc and console channel
wait can i do it with people?
Trials are solo only
Hello guys i got a question. Is it possible to recover corrupted save?
i was on the last stage and ofc i got the jellyfish boss
i agree with iforgotwho
this game cheated me. I just did this on my mercenary didnt go under 100% health and i dont have my skill
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
If it’s not a fresh save after this current patch unlocks are still glitched*
ive completed this TWICE and i have yet to get my mercenary skill im slightly triggered
Im on a fresh save trying rn but I can’t one shot this clay pot
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
You’ll have to do it again, but at least there’s artifacts for next time
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???
console be confusing
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?
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
Start a new profile or delete your save data
I did two weeks ago so I’m already caught up except for this unlock
What's the best Survivor to do this trial on?
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
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
ohhhh that -could- explain it yea, haven't thought about that and am gonna do some testing, thank you!
@lucid orbit data management in settings, delete save data
I almost had it but I missed one of my preon shots fml
You found a preon this trial?
There is a preon this trial on both console and pc
I’m on console so we spawn in front of it.
I went straight for the eccentric vase really close to spawn
Check cabbage video for pc and in the comments someone mentions a location of one
@tawdry dune please dont tell me i just deleted my save data and this doesnt work
lmao can you not have multiple profiles on console?
i dont feel like setting up a whole new profile so i just deleted save data to save time
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
I agree
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.
i like wiping my save whenever the trial's easy
i think my fastest time to reunlock everything was about 5 hours
The past three prismatic trials suck, hitscan/laser beams that last 40 hours, can't even finish the merc challenge
@mental vale you dont have merc alt R yet?
well i just wiped my save just do the trial again and then i dont get my skill for mercenary
You can restore your save
With Save Data Cloud just press + Options over RoR2 and download your old data
why
Because acrid is fun, and extremely satisfying on the current trial
Acrid is always satisfying tho.
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
this trial seems p easy for ethereal
like, just
- grab Crayon Accumulator
- grab Fuel Cell
- instagib boss
- grab Eccentric Vase and proceed when cooldown is ready
- 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 
any tips on the actual execution? perhaps a better route?
also i'm never sure whether to use Whirlwind or Rising Thunder
Crayon accumulator
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
What's preon i only know crayon
crayon accelerator
@stone ermine @zenith plinth thanks guys, i'll try out those strats before the next trial starts
how many beetles spawn during S1 bossfight?
if it varies on time, i'm asking for like... 2 minutes?
does anyone know what the code is to unlock the new huntress m1
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
ive tried for a while but it alawys bouces to a random unit
well shit idk then i got it just randomly playing through a run lmao
just play until you get it is my only advice
thanks for the strats 
god bless yall 😭
thank yall!
ability is so sick lol
i thought i wouldn't like it, and i see why it's kinda bad
but it's actually really fun
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.
if yall are having trouble with wisps after using preon theres a missile drone on the cliff near the teleporter
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).
I can't seem to find the chest for the vase, help?
it is just on the right where you start and before the first crsytal
25$
gold chest
I'm blind. Completely overlooked it. Thanks!
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)
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
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
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
pipe trick?
stand at the end of the pipe and all of the beetles jump off and die
thats in the trial?
congrats! enjoy the alt R
lol i lost a stage 8 all artifacts run to clay templars nice game
nah i had high movement speed but apparently bombs can clip through ramps and kill me
oh yea that too
thank yall so much for the tips
yeah we vibin
how the hell
i can get 2:32 if I dont mess up
@peak cobalt Thank you, I didnt realize you could get "chunked" easily with this prismatic trial. Only 2 challenges left for me !
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
if you go fast enough you get lemurians instead
ah okay
nothing highlights how bullshit Solus Probes are as much as prismatic trials, though
literally just automatically take damage with no counterplay
@verbal quiver : take the rocket launcher drone beside the pipe. The drone will distract the Solus while you vase to the exit
literally 1 item and they're useless :v
honestly i just kept my distance
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/563138000771612679/699170254529495080/unknown.png?width=817&height=460 to be real ive lost 1/4 of my soul for this ability which is rn kinda useless cause replacing imunity ability for this one?
No one uses that ability its trash idk why people who struggle to get it so much even bother
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.
@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
almost obliterated. still not entirely sure how i died but that's the essence of an all artifacts run i guess. probably should've played it safe but i wanted to charge the teleporter
i'm trying to complete this (obliterate) without spending any lunar coins, no farming items i...
well that link doesn't work
now it does
Any mercenary tips? Can't do the pipe trick fast enough to clear portal to skip solus
do the pipe trick faster then
not much else you can do
or use preon instead but that's probably harder
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?
do you have alt m2
I do not
do an extra loop of the tp to clump the beetles up more
Is there possibly a pipe alternative that keeps you within the tp
as far as i can tell if you stay in the tp
Hey what should i do with the wisps after preon? trying the mercenary thing
the beetles can follow you
for the wisps after preon you can either:
- dash really well
- 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
- hide, the wisps will eventually fade
how long till they fade?
im not exactly sure tbh, maybe someone knows the precise timing?
What time do you have to leave by to miss solus?
probably sub 4, i know that 345 is safe
Wow this took a while
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)
huh wonder if that lee guy is legit, I dont really see where I could squeeze 4 extra seconds
there has to be some trick
the trick is cheat engine
that one is close enough I'm skeptical but I still doubt it
how does the pipetrick work? they still reach me if i stay inside the zone
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
okay ty, and btw where do i find the vase?
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
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).
ty boys
^ 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
solus with rocket launcher drone is more easy
keeping your distance from them is usually easy
@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
no he loves it, it grows his youtube channel
I’m using it now and because of how much I did that trial I’m a lot better merc player
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
it still works
@tough belfry thx
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
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
k
2:27, maybe 2:23 but idk if the dude is legit or not
its crazy how all huntress needed to be top tier is for her dps to not matter
youll get it
can someone tell me how much time is left on this prismatic trial?
22.3 hours
ah thank you
np!
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.
you have to get to the second map before like, 4 min or something. then it spawns lemurians instead of those orb guys
thats slow cabbage play a real character
bet u cant beat it with mult
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
21
are you going in the crystal near tele and shooting the 2nd one to hit both or doing something different
what
are you going in the crystal near tele and shooting the 2nd one to hit both or doing something different
cabbage is better than cerebral palsy
@cyan stratus NOOOOO
i have ran mult in trials longer than this game has been out
ive been a mult main since he was opieop
:( feels bad man, hes fallen from grace so much
???
😎
u ok
🟪
thanks for the assist with the last trails flawless 💜
ceddibge dnew treli hsa bnee otu fro 2 (tow) minouts hawy on vedyo pls hlep

I cant finish this trial
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 >_<
Do logs drop in trials?
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

Yesssss
I missed the first quantum tunnel LOL
i had to go around dodging shit for 45seconds
made the end way more intense :p
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
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
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
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
big F
i couldn't see that lower island from near spawn so i went to the one further left instead
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
nice
o p t i m i z a t i o n
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
i finally did it holy shit
now i never need to complete a challenge in this game til next update
@brazen sand how tf you clear the second stage with those damn laser eyeballs without taking any damage?
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 😉
honestly i just didn't aggro the two that spawned and booked it to the artiporter
ok thanks for the tips, ill give it another go lmao
almost lost it on the second stage but my dash saved me in time
go through cabbage's video, it helps
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..
huntress or maybe rex idk about rex
How possible is ethereal on this trial?
ez
huntress > rex > mult for this trial
should I rush or are there specific items i should grab? Brainstalks looks pretty enticing
only thing you even remotely need is the vase
Huntress > everything all the time wym
Oh yeah I am curious about that as well, how possible is ethereal on this trial
shyguy go play speen rhythm ur like the only ror2 mod not playing it get with the times
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
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
if you can get to the second section in less than four minutes
you get lemurians that are a lot easier to dodge
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
ez dont get any items
wisps are bitches btw
sit on the pipe next to portal and let the beetles fall off then head to the next stage

theres a vid higher in this chat showing how to do it
i just took the prion and stood on the pillar
You just do. I did it somehow, after too many tries to feel good about.
Never give up
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

did you get it mate?
nice nice
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
does anybody have any tips for completing this with the mercenary, for the achievement of course
this is the 2nd hardest trial for ethereal so far
idrc if the reward is garbage, im a completionist and its on my to do list
knock it out another day
lol k
which was the hardest for ethereal so far
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
Best character for todays?
best character for this trial is to play a different game
damn lol
i cant beat it i tgried so many times
so when cabbage doin it
ever since artifacts it's been one or the other with the trials
- who the fuck can beat this sub 20
- lol come get ur free ethereal lmao
good thing i got ethereal on the last one cuz i actually like slicing winds

big flex
over 2 weeks btw and no patches for a single bug the update brought in
hotfixes are not the purpose of early access
whats more important: the final update coming in 2 months or fixing some bugs that could be fixed within the final update
how to beat this prismatic
wait to see if cabbage can
cabbage?
cabbage is the greatest ror2 youtuber ever
#prismatic-trials was created for people to discuss how good cabbage is
Ah yes, just leave the game in complete disarray for months good plan
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
yikes
when tf did everyone decide to stand for this shit lmao
i think most people just have respect for the developers
I used to have respect for hopoo but this games shitshow of an EA model has made that slowly diminish over time
I just want the title screen to be optimized...
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
k
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
smh you know what I'm done with this game and its community
:l
suspecting a comeback after a good while
i'll forget
:|
Lmao who was that noob
sorry for maybe a dumb question but how the heck do i complete a trial without getting hit?
this one isn't an easy one for that
gotcha so i should wait for a certain week? like is there scheduled maps for different weeks?
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
we trust in cabbage, that's all i needa say
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
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
Question for the mercenary challenge. Does the shield matter? I’m asking if it counts as health in the challenge.
Is this a good trial for Merc?
none of them are good for merc wyta
well, the one with the bomb-dropping wisps and then jellyfish and glass artifact kinda was
shield
counts as health
this is pretty terrible if you are trying to get the ethereal achievement
wait a second, the shield from the lunar item counts as hp dmg for the achievement???
Yep. Can't cheese it.
that actually gives me a bit of depression tbh
but topaz scarlet works right?
and other shield items
dont think so
shield doesn’t work but brooch heath will protect you
Don't barriers count towards your total HP now, or is that just for one-shot protection?
So basically artifacts just about nuked anyone's chances of unlocking the ethereal challenge for people who didn't unlock it before... awesome
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
what bug iforgotwho was talking about
the one that pt now has charging times for the teles?
pt?
prismatic trials
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
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
Um,green item in red(always legendary) chest?
i mean red chest as in the colour red (the one you get damage items from)
Oh
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
there is also a brainstalks in a normal chest near the ice canyon thingy
@cyan stratus no video?
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
oh god oh fuck i got a ~5:20 and then died to a lesser wisp after activating the teleporter
Gl on exams
Anybody have any tips for speed running this one? I got a 4:28 time
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
4:30 is probably possible with this route, I made a few mistakes and I'm not 100% sure it's necessary to grab the preon accumulator.
this is the best I got for speed, I'm not great with huntress but all my fastest test runs were with her
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
but for going fast it loses time because of tele charge
90 seconds to kill the bosses should be enough
i already go through enough pain grinding CE runs okay
and dying is hard with her triple blink and m2
let me have one atg missile
no one wants to fight blazing + overloading dunestrider without any damage
@tough belfry only took atg because i was sitting on 99% for about 10 seconds at the last boss
how do you guys deal with todays trial, specifically the fucking bombs
I played huntress with triple blink and just jumped around
the feather you get from the first boss is really nice
wouldnt regular huntress dash be better for getting to the stage 2 tp?
i can't see it being better, especially with a feather
it's just so slow
and massive cooldown
(Sorry for no audio)
Messed up the stage 2 third crystal which i would usually primary attack
The first two crystals in stage 1 can be hit with one dash, and theres probably some stage 2 stuff that can be optimised a fair bit
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
this is a pretty good trial for anyone who needs ethereal
since all you have to do is not get hit
one of the hardest things i've done in this game. also sorry for the frame drops there's something wrong with my pc
this wasn't supposed to be a 25 minute run. usually you can 1shot both dunestriders but i did the timing wrong. if you wanna actually attempt this, kill both ...
how do you beat prismatic trials as merc when all the enemies are wisps?
...
say it
why do these trials make me want to throw myself off of the map
that's actually a good strat if wisps spawn at 55sec but you have to slow your fall so you dont take dmg
i hit tele at 33 secs on huntress
I’m a massive fan of adding the artifacts to prismatic. Makes it a real challenge sometimes
lol just got cabbage recommended to me on youtube, i dont even watch ror2 vids
i wonder how that works lol
#24
idk if its just me but the option for prismatic trials doesnt even show up
the only mod i have is harbs debug console
gotcha
is it even possible to do a prismatic trial without taking damage as mercenary anymore?
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
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
if you can pass the 1st stage consistently it's just a matter of time, that's definitely the hard part
Anyone knows how good the Xbox pt is for unlocking ethereal?
should be easy since all you have to do is not get hit
🤣
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
dont you want to feel like you earned the challenge
if you get it on this seed you can brag about your merc skills
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
just spin and become helicopter
NNYYOOOOOMM
yes
I'm not touching anything speed related until thats fixed
Bruh
Ethereal seems kinda fun to do, but I'm afraid it's going to take a bit too long to actually get good
i just miss you stealing my mult strats and beating my times by a second
mult is dead
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
yeah i miss mult vs artificer
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
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?
I believe bosses change after a certain time
:(
@static nova i only play with an xbox controller and managed to get ethereal after watching a cabbage run
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.
I know ethereal is not the best ability, but I still like it.
Adds a different play style to merc.
a different playstyle that is usually worse
That can be quite the challenge at times.
That’s why it’s fun.
Slicing winds I mean not ethereal lol
i need video evidence of this trial being possible
im all for difficult challenges, but this feels distinctly cheap
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
hey uh. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU BEAT THE CHALLENGE WITHOUT FALLING UNDER 100 PERCENT HP AS MERCENARY WHAT
by not getting hit
i need to repeat myself?
yes please
but its like
i said
super difficult and stuff (is the alternate r even good?)
no it isnt
rad]
alt r sucks lmao
why is it so difficult tho
because
this trial easy for ethereal. but for some reason i get massive fps drops during teleporter which makes timing hard
cabbage being hacked by devs so ethereal wouldn't be easy
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
I agree with YoungSauce, this prismatic trial is hard af
tHiS TriAL iS EaSy For EtHeReAL
not saying it is impossible to complete, but it is nowhere near "easy for ethereal"
it's much easier than last trial
overall difficulty level will be harder than before artifacts but it's relatively easy
it is much easier
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 😛
please read the description
for some reason on this trial and this trial alone i suffered massive frame drops which made slamming the wisps much harder than normal. apart from that this trial is easy
footage is sped up 5x between 1:50 and 2:05 because it's just waiting
th...
Bruh
I knew that to beat the boss you needed to slam them. but I don't know how to do it consistently
The out of the map stuff was the main thing I was eh about but that artifact portal cheese is real nice
siren's call is stupidly broken so why wouldn't i take advantage of it
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
did you know you can fall out of bounds forever without getting teleported back up on certain parts of the map
nope
Is there any significance to the standing on the wall part?
Or is that to let enemies reset or something?
I'm in the nowhere
#25
cabbage also happens to have a video explaining slamming
whats the red item for completing the alloy worship unit boss?
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
I found out how to do it
look a little bit down to mimic what his screen looked like
BTW heres the video he was talking about with slamming https://youtu.be/EpvttjdK2lY
i tried to make a useful video for once. i can't edit so your mileage may vary.
i wanted it to be as short as possible so i hope you're a fast reader
some things i wanted to note but didn't include in the video is that slamming greater wisps and brass contraptions is much ha...
Nvm I got it, looks like it's a very exact general area you have to be looking at
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
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
I suck at slaming. I only have done that once. but that was by accedent
As soon as they spawned the were launching fireballs at me, I took instant damage
for me it spawns 4 to 5
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
yea maybe
read the description
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?
@indigo snow 😎
oh it was there. sadly I am not smart >,<
probably worth testing if it's just based on time but the safest place to wait would be where monsters don't spawn anyway
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
where are the missiles?
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
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 >,<
It explains it at the bottom
thats what I read and thats why I was even more confused XD
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
I think I am going to just glitch in the floor and use the rockets. but I am not smart so IDK
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
i made this for anyone who doesn't know how to slam a wisp / lags too much to slam them consistently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBMQYSbDJHA
Awesome, thanks Cabbage
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
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
honestly, I shouldve gotten harvester's scythe before it got too ridiculous to even be able to complete a prismatic trial
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?
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?
Yeah
If their attack starts before they start dying they will finish it
Greater wisp is best friends with magma worm
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
that is confirmed to work by many renowned doctors
why is there 4 whisp all of a sudden? there was only two last night?
it might be affected by the timer, if you get there later there could be more
1:40 xD how fast you seppose to go then?
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
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
gawd im new at this game cant even beat the trial with taking damage sad i just want to unlock harvester scythe :/
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
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
I've been doing a slightly different route
I am still failing but I am getting farther then I used too
does the recycler recycle to the same item every run?
yeah i posted a txt file for this seed a while back
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..
I'm so annoyed
cool
2 robotic eyeballs spawned on the bridge to the jump pad and lasered me
this is what you signed up for when you decided to get ethereal
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
just activate between 3:50 and 4:10 and you're fine
if you activate at 8:00 what do you expect
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
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
How do you manipulate the director better?
i dont have authority to speak on that topic
Alright then :P
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
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..
Just completed one using slamming.. first attempt.. got 9 minutes but it wasn't hitless..
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
just save iframes and react to spawn sounds
Why is this seed so hard I just want Harvesters Scythe
if you just want to complete it it's braindead easy as loader
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
idk i never had problems with any of that
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
Whats the current Ptrials artifacts?
i ceep getting so close then a random blaze will arrive and one shot me i hate this so much
Spite, Honor, Dissonance, and Swarms
yeah
Who wants to play??
that's why you slam them downwards, any other direction and they take 5min to come back
mine didnt even come back
I left my game unpaused for about an hour and it was still up there
If enemy is too far away,it won't cognize you
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
dont get hit
Not sure if I picked the right time to try and get the harvester's scyte
just gotta wait till tis easy
What's the reset time?
every 3 days
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
Is the prismatic trial only available at certain times?
the seed lasts 3 days at a time
prismatic trials disables itself if you have any mods installed
Oh ok, thanks
thanks anyway guys. i appreciate the tips. i'll just keep trying
i think i can get ethereal on this trial with my monitor off, for anyone who needs the achievement
probably the easiest trial so far. the real challenge here is not falling asleep halfway through
just completed it myself, GODDAMN this one was so much easier
Impressive.
the dead elder lemurian on the thumbnail lel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvKLjqox12Q my final time. idk if I should be posting my youtube links?
I'll play any trial with stage 5 as its 2nd stage if I remember that is
Previous Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCo-aZ6rlOw&t=28s
your time is 2:28
thanks
interesting way of getting to the teleporter
hadnt thought of doing it that way with the mid air drone
I learnt the drone thing from cabbage
just managed to get ethereal myself, thanks @cyan stratus for the guides. took me a few tries and it was rage inducing lol
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
@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
Yeah, and the command being able to choose the brooch is a huge stress reliever too
does the current trial start at rallypoint delta
Yeah
awesome
Just got 5th on the board to see LadleHater with the 1:16 run.. dang
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
