prismatic-trials

[cyan stratus]

uhh

[zenith plinth]

when is here error why isnt here error404 ?

[cyan stratus]

that's not how percentages work

that means something with 1 base damage would do 1.3m health

One message removed from a suspended account.

[delicate grove]

but what if the enemy had 130000 armor

[cyan stratus]

idk what armor does in this game

i just know i shoot something and it takes dmg

[delicate grove]

nothing, thats why monsoon and drizzle have no difference

[cyan stratus]

that is incorrect

[delicate grove]

😆

[cyan stratus]

it took me 1000+ attempts to do monsoon all artifacts and a literal 3 to do it on drizzle

the base armor is insane

[delicate grove]

just dont get hit

[cyan stratus]

that is hard

[round harness]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[quaint crag]

just don't get hit :4head:

[cyan stratus]

also do you not run celestial ending anymore

i feel like you're giving me those wrs for free

since you beat my 20s time so easily

[delicate grove]

i got a 10:48 today

also that wasnt easy

alot of heartbreaking runs for that

[cyan stratus]

i mean that's normal on 20s

[delicate grove]

its just malachite solus probes

[cyan stratus]

or celestine

[delicate grove]

yes

[cyan stratus]

lost a s19 run to that yesterday

it might be worth to just punch really far away from the teleporter as soon as you activate it

[delicate grove]

and dio isnt even that good really because hellfire doesnt kick in straight away after you respawn

so you have to run away and lose time

[cyan stratus]

losing time doesn't really matter that much

[delicate grove]

it does to me

[cyan stratus]

when 1:10 avg is about 22:40

[delicate grove]

all that said though, i enjoy 20st way more than either of the CE

less waiting for crowdfunder and more spiderman action

[cyan stratus]

i would agree if teleporters didnt spawn in the stupidest places sometimes

but sometimes it doesn't really matter how well you can grapple if the teleporter spawns in some cave

[delicate grove]

cave swinging is just another skill

[cyan stratus]

but it's an objective time loss compared to if it just didn't

[delicate grove]

yeah well thats ror speedrunning

[cyan stratus]

yea idk why i even run this game lol

[delicate grove]

its just gambling

[cyan stratus]

something to do i guess

but yeah 2:10 s1 and 1:10 stage average is 24:20 so our times aren't even near optimized

so i don't mind punching out of the teleporter zone once in a while

[delicate grove]

damnit youve got me doing 20st runs now

[cyan stratus]

lol i'll join you rn

maybe today will be the day i don't die on s20

[delicate grove]

died on stage 18

[latent jasper]

F

[delicate grove]

solus control unit boss

[latent jasper]

just dunk it 4head

[cyan stratus]

ballista is not good

decided to check

[delicate grove]

whats that

[cyan stratus]

exploding red item

[delicate grove]

behemoth?

[cyan stratus]

uhh

i'm new player idk names

[latent jasper]

lmao

[delicate grove]

sentient meat hook probably good

[cyan stratus]

wtf do i do against parents

actually get nuked every time i get them

[balmy lagoon]

they teleport often, stay mobile @cyan stratus

try to stay behind them best you can

[cyan stratus]

hard to stay mobile inside a tiny teleporter zone my guy

[balmy lagoon]

you don't instantly lose if you leave it

[cyan stratus]

you do if you're doing a speedrun

[balmy lagoon]

then you're doing it to yourself

play duos with command and have your buddy hard tank the centre while you float and damage

[cyan stratus]

im doing 20 stage speedrun not co-op

and less than max amount of players in the zone makes it charge slower

[delicate grove]

you just gotta hope you have enough guillotines to kill them

its often pretty close when i get them

[cyan stratus]

yea but then i just end up dying to the ice bubble since they're glacial

[delicate grove]

oh yeah that sucks

[willow patrol]

Thats how its like speedrunning I suppose

[delicate grove]

its lonely in here

[cyan stratus]

finally a loader-free trial

rex reigns supreme

sub2 when

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXGXtE7XzOc ethereal

[delicate grove]

if only loader had a push skill

[cyan stratus]

pylon

[open fiber]

I'm skeptical on the sub 2 minute huntress runs in the prismatic trial, how do they even do that?

[open fiber]

Huh

[gentle bramble]

any one have guide for the trial?

[visual basin]

i'm not even gonna bother trying to get ethereal until i see a challenge with glass on

[quaint crag]

yeesh, that was one of the artifacts for the previous seed

[visual basin]

oof

whatever, not like i'll ever get ethereal anyway

[cyan stratus]

ethereal is easy this trial

[solemn fiber]

#36

[night ridge]

Oh?

[indigo snow]

You've been doing this for over 3 months

How does it feel

[solemn fiber]

You've been a mod for almost a year
How does it feel

[simple creek]

question

how do i get the merc ability from the trials easily

the wisps just shotgun me

[latent jasper]

dont get hit

[plain spade]

don't get hit 4head

[light badge]

So I just completed the prismatic trials for the first time... but the game didnt count it?

Trying to do it again now.

slightly frustrated

[solemn fiber]

if you get hit, you failed
so you probably got hit.

[light badge]

...Get hit like 1 time?

at all?

...Nowhere did it say i was not allowed to get hit at all

I wasn't playing mercenary, I was trying to get harvester's scythe

I was playing huntress ;/

[solemn fiber]

oh you're tryna get the scythe, thought you were doin merc.

[light badge]

yes big sad, am new

[prime snow]

grats on 1k @cyan stratus

[cyan stratus]

thanks my guy

[gaunt citrus]

At sent you the daily prismatic trail dude ?

[unkempt trout]

They should add extra ragdoll to death

[tropic dirge]

@cyan stratus by your prismatic trial wich artifacts you had ? (i know honor, chaos, evolution and ????)

[void kraken]

I'm trying to complete this prismatic trial for the scythe (fairly new player) - any recommendations on safest char to choose?

[tough belfry]

it's basically just 2 stages so you can play whatever character you'd play normally

huntress (with triple blink) and merc would be safest because of their movement and iframes i think

[void kraken]

Thanks @tough belfry

[inner badger]

Is there a point to prismatic trials? It’s just two stages, but that’s it

[sonic heart]

But it's a challanges for people

[tough belfry]

the idea is to go fast

[sonic heart]

yes

fast = the challange

[solemn fiber]

@tropic dirge artifacts are the same for each trial, and its a new trial every 3 days

[glass sleet]

my god last trial was a nightmare

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR6E1qVMRJ8&feature=youtu.be ethereal

[elfin plinth]

more trials
more trials

should i ping a mod for pin

[latent jasper]

@solemn fiber YOU GOTTA BEAT SHYGUY

WAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[solemn fiber]

#37

[latent jasper]

ggwp

[indigo snow]

You've been a mod for almost a year
How does it feel
@solemn fiber

literally the same as it did after a month

[solemn fiber]

h

[solemn fiber]

in the future we'll reach #100, which ill see if i can work some weird thing out to make it a birthday-hatted girl eating a cabbage

[indigo snow]

yes

quality

[solemn fiber]

if i remember

half a year from today.

november

[indigo snow]

cya then

[stuck locust]

OH

nvm

[celest karma]

https://youtu.be/RrnsilB8I3k

Mercenary: Ethereal but being safe

[cyan stratus]

oh ok

[celest karma]

slightly slower, but with topaz brooch for if you mess up, and crowbar+focus crystal for quicker kills

[rocky pollen]

Lil Known#3091 was banned

[old bay]

Oh

[remote shore]

Oh

[reef wigeon]

HELLO?!! I finnished the primsatic trials without being hit and I didn't get merc unlock?!?!

I went to the bazaar and chose the hell level to see if that even worked

you probably got hit, or wasn't playing merc
@zenith plinth I didn't I swear to god

i did pick up that thing that gives you armour

but even that wassnt deplated

I feel scammed. Is it a bug b/c I went to the bazaar and chose a different level?

of course I was playing merc lmao

[solemn fiber]

then you got hit.

[reef wigeon]

I did pick up that lunar item too that changes your primary attack into shooting explode-y thingies

Im sorry I suck with names

I promise you I didn't

[solemn fiber]

then you got hit.

[reef wigeon]

volume on 100% and had my eyes peeled on my health bar

[solemn fiber]

you got hit.

[reef wigeon]

I got both of them yeah haha

they were at the bazaar. But again, I promise you I didnt

there is no way. I feel so scammed

[solemn fiber]

you can promise all you want
you got hit

its not bugged.

[reef wigeon]

so you can change the 2nd level you go to

without it upsetting the challenges?

[solemn fiber]

you can, that doesnt matter

[reef wigeon]

aight

[solemn fiber]

you got hit.

[reef wigeon]

I'm so upset I've done this run for the past 2 hours

I don't even like the alternate merc R

I know @zenith plinth

[solemn fiber]

should i repeat myself .3.

[grave pivot]

keep trying! if you did it once i guarantee you can do it again

[elfin plinth]

@reef wigeon it says damage gotten at run ending stats

[copper island]

what would be the easiest character to get through the 2 stages

just to get the scythe

[elfin plinth]

One you're best on

[copper island]

well i just got rank 800 global is that decent?

5:54,14

[cyan stratus]

sub 2 is pretty easy with merc if you ignore items

[silent birch]

kinda hard to tell when you cant view the full global leaderboard

I guess someone could camp a level for like an hour and then see how many ranks/players there are?

[serene swan]

did you redirect me to here to ask

or is it in here @solemn fiber

[serene swan]

1st place time?

WELP

[silent birch]

not sure, its usually somewhere around 60-90 seconds

[serene swan]

friend just got to 8th and 1st is 3 seconds

[silent birch]

3 seconds is impossible legitimately

[serene swan]

so sad people cheat

[silent birch]

always
gonna be way more of them when rewards for top 10% starts rolling out unless the devs figure out a way to counter it

[serene swan]

looked up profile. "multiple game bans on record"

[cyan stratus]

nobody really cares about the leaderboard because people just cheat their times

[tiny sparrow]

just make the reward 10 lunar coins that way cheaters dont care about doing it if they cheat for leaderboard with no reward i wouldnt be surprised if most of them cheated for a few quadrillion lunar coins

[latent jasper]

there is no reward for prismatic trials

you can set the amount of lunar coins you have in the game files so playing trials for them would be pointless

[analog saddle]

people are talking about how there is a line of text in the trials saying a reward will become a thing in the future

[latent jasper]

probably

[tiny sparrow]

except for on console and if you look at the fine print on the prismatic trial screen it says “top 10% of players will get... nothing for now” or something like that meaning theyll probably add a reward to it later on if they make it lunar coins (the only viable reward i can think of) then cheaters wont cheat their time because theyll have probably cheated in the coins anyway

[cyan stratus]

devs have stated there is no way to stop cheaters so there will not be a reward

[tiny sparrow]

thats why im saying make the reward lunar coins a cheater probably wouldnt think its worth the effort to cheat for the lunar coins when they can already just cheat in lunar coins anyway thus repelling cheaters and allowing players who put in the effort without cheating to get a few bonus coins

[analog saddle]

i figured with how much trouble literally every online game has with cheaters, a smaller team like this would just ignore them

maybe make it based on a fixed time threshold instead of a percentage, but that has its own complications

[tiny sparrow]

beat prismatic trial in under a minute would actually be a fine challenge

[analog saddle]

I Imagine making it a little more reasonable for the general populace would be fine

1:30 or 1:45

[latent jasper]

i mean, slapping a LC reward on trials isn't gonna repel cheaters in the slightest

[tiny sparrow]

then all you gotta do is make it so that its a one time unlock

[latent jasper]

most of them are cheating for ethereal

[analog saddle]

i dont think thats true for the ones in the top 10% on the leaderboard

[cyan stratus]

why would you have a time based unlock if it would be easy for half the trials and completely impossible for the other half

[tiny sparrow]

the ones in the top ten percent are doing it for fake bragging rights

[analog saddle]

like i said cabbage, it comes with its own problems

i know its not realistic, but perhaps some kinda replay system? Similar to dustforce. So the top runs are recorded

it really cut down on the cheated runs in that game

[latent jasper]

or you could just record your own runs

[cyan stratus]

replays have been suggested in the past but it's way too much work to implement for a side gamemode which the majority of people don't care about

[analog saddle]

^

i wholeheartedly agree, its just a pipedream

[cyan stratus]

if you want competition just post your time here and there will be 1-2 people who care enough to try to beat it

[serene swan]

i mean we are aiming for the 10% just between friends to make a bet between eachother

we went from getting 3 minutes to 1:30 and less and its exciting between friends

[cyan stratus]

the 10% doesn't matter

because you can't compare against real runs

but yeah the best thing to do is just compare runs/times with others you know are legit

[hardy tree]

Hey how hard is it to do a prismatic trial with mercenary and not go below 100% health

[elfin plinth]

Very

[hardy tree]

I’ve never actually done a prismatic trial

What are they all about?

[cyan stratus]

it's really easy this trial

[hardy tree]

What trial?

[cyan stratus]

prismatic

[visual basin]

i feel very skilled now

don't mind that it took like 20 attempts cause I couldn't slam the fricking vagrant in the second stage

[uncut zealot]

Looking for tips on the current prismatic trial

I know the avoid aoe stuff already tho

At this point I just want harvesters scythe, I can wait for the merc challenge

[cyan stratus]

just rush teleporters since you already have enough damage

[remote shore]

[silent birch]

no loaders? someone call Wigs

[remote shore]

think wig is 29th rn

best i could get with loader was 1:39

[zinc urchin]

First time running Prismatic and only got a 1.44 w/ loader

What crystal route do you take for the second level?

[remote shore]

using the charged gauntlet to get up to the crystal on top of the curved structure to your right as you spawn in, then dropping down and getting the one in front outside cave and the one close to it inside the cave through to the tele

[zinc urchin]

Ahh

I went caves, waited the 5 second hook cooldown, rappled up onto the lip, punched that one out that swing to the portal over the top

[remote shore]

might try that see if i can get a better loader time

would be nice if you could record separate times for different characters

[zinc urchin]

the hardest parts I found was the first crystal at spawn and the final route

because getting to the utility box 4 Amber, then swinging over to the crystal, then trying to optimise an empty field is really hard :(

[silent birch]

I used normal grapple and grappled the wisp that spawns far off to the right and take the far right path on first map, grab the crowbar over there too

[zinc urchin]

You had time for that?

[silent birch]

its right along the way for me, if I dont mess up opening to topaz then I'm out around the minute mark, idk how that compares to your routes

[tough belfry]

@remote shore your huntress time is legit?

[remote shore]

yes

recorded it

[tough belfry]

can you post it

[remote shore]

sure give me 10 mins to upload it

i actually just bettered it by a second ill upload this one instead

[flat breach]

The current seed is quite nutty

[remote shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8dhDg6DAMg here you go @tough belfry its a fairly simple route nothing too technical for huntress

[flat breach]

Crowbar, 2 Focus Crystals, Topaz Broach, Goat Hoof, Ocular Hud

doubt there will ever be a better one for the Merc challenge.

[zinc urchin]

I didnt even consider using metitors to clear the level

[visual basin]

I got ethereal without any items except the Death Mark given by the first teleporter. I dont think items make too big a difference for a prismatic trial when Glass is active.

actually, i dont think items matter all that much anyway in a prismatic trial

not like you'll get enough items to matter in two stages, and the goal is to be as fast as possible so getting items just wastes valuable time

[flat breach]

Well I was going for safest 100% health and not most time-efficient, and white items actually become way more valuable with glass artifact, brooch for example :p

[weary forum]

Are the seeds the same across all platforms?

[elfin plinth]

no

[serene swan]

started around 50th yesterday. beating your pr is fun haha

[zinc urchin]

man I gotta step up from 61st (now 71st)

[zinc urchin]

And stopping at 42th. Shout out to wig who somehow has loader in the top 50 O.o

No idea where I can shave 10 seconds to get top 20

[cyan stratus]

lol

[zinc urchin]

:(

Does the amount of money you own speed up/slow down the teleporter warp?

[cyan stratus]

0 gold is ~4.55 where 1, 2, is slightly faster than having gold which is ~6.71

[zinc urchin]

as in teleporter evetn 1 theres chests you can buy to tank your money while attacking the boss

and moving towards teleporter 2 theres a turret you can buy too

[cyan stratus]

ok but the boss gives money

[zinc urchin]

So the amount of money doesnt matter its just 0 or not 0?

[cyan stratus]

what i said above

[zinc urchin]

yeah the 1 2 in the middle confused me

[cyan stratus]

i challenge anyone to beat this time as commando

[remote shore]

thats nuts

[zinc urchin]

Did you just do Pro grenade tosses or something?

[cyan stratus]

phase round

https://youtu.be/tsCco40NnNA

that's a speedrun not ethereal

[solemn fiber]

you bITCH

big smad
biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig smad

anyway, porougon special image is nice

[tacit fjord]

That was funny

Keep it alive.

[remote shore]

those phase round are ridiculous

[smoky crystal]

Today's challenge is just perfect for etheral

[zenith plinth]

so close

does anyone know how to unlock the mercenary achievement?

How do I break the crystals as loader?

[cyan stratus]

by doing damage to them like a normal enemy

stuff like pylon doesn't target them though

[open fiber]

@zenith plinth In stage 1 use a primary attack and then a secondary, in stage 2 a secondary is enough

That is if the artifact of glass is on

[cyan stratus]

or just punch them

[open fiber]

With glass they kill you

[cyan stratus]

no

[serene swan]

@zenith plinth noooooooooooooooooooooooooo my 13th place

[zenith plinth]

@serene swan let me know if you manage to beat it. I'm taking a break but will get back on eventually to at least get 1:18

[cyan stratus]

kinda feel bad overwriting my commando time but decided to do this real quick

since everyone is only playing huntress

[zenith plinth]

nice! I see that you just beat it by 2 seconds now lol

[cyan stratus]

a bit of a proof of concept but idk if anything can be done with this

[latent jasper]

we're gonna need some hardlight afterburners and alien heads if anything can be done w/ that

[latent jasper]

<@&559786374228738069>

[zenith plinth]

@latent jasper ?

[latent jasper]

looks like it was deleted

[zenith plinth]

oki

❤️

[latent jasper]

:D

[keen grove]

Prismatic trials do be growing cabbages channel

I subbed when "ethereal is cancelled" and it was like 200-300 subs

Keep up the good work

[cyan stratus]

lol i've been doing prismatic trials since launch. it's more the merc achievement than anything else

wish there was more incentive for people to actually play trials

[zinc urchin]

Well the main screen says the top 10% get nothing yet

[brisk marsh]

Coins

[zinc urchin]

It makes sense the devs are focusing on making content for the majority of users rather than the smaller more niesh sped rooning group

[brisk marsh]

Or an icon/colored name.

[zinc urchin]

I imagine doing it once will unlock an item speifically about going fast

[azure schooner]

what should the reward be though?

i think a skin would be nice

[delicate grove]

except prismatic trials are about completing it as fast as possible

hence the times highscores

[zinc urchin]

Who said otherwise?

[delicate grove]

no one

[brisk marsh]

Wouldn't be that fair to have something any bit important locked in there.

[delicate grove]

the issue with prismatic trials apart from the obvious cheating is that it becomes completely reliant on rng for whether or not your time can improve

due to crit chance and crit items etc

[brisk marsh]

Yikes

[zinc urchin]

Crit is the main thing here, but if default crit for characters is 0 instead of 1 that fixes most of the issues

As afaik picking up items is generally a rarity

[delicate grove]

yeah if proc items and base crit chance were removed i think it would be a bit btter

[zinc urchin]

Or turn proc items into something more consistant

[unique walrus]

LOL imagine playing prismatic trials

[brisk marsh]

And what about the crit items?

[zinc urchin]

I mean, again we could just make it more consistant

Instead of being 10% it could be exactly your 10th hit

[brisk marsh]

Right, exactly what I was thinking if ya plan on leaving it in.

[zinc urchin]

Comes a bit awkward with 7 and 6%s tho

[azure schooner]

so a custom mod or are you talking changing the entire game?

[brisk marsh]

There could be a lot of limiters or changes to things for the sake of consistency.

And no, just stuff in prismatic trial runs.

[zinc urchin]

Its changing the speedrunning gamemode to fit speedrunning

[cyan stratus]

none of that is practical

[zinc urchin]

Its well known that speedruns that rely on RNG are some of the most hated runs

[delicate grove]

removing base crit chance and proc items is practical

[zinc urchin]

Or, heres an Idea, proc seeds

[brisk marsh]

Oh boy

[zinc urchin]

That way we can keep % based chances but its again, consistant

[cyan stratus]

there is no reason to change the fundamentals of a gamemode to satisfy a select few people who have routed a trial to the point that random crits make a significant difference

[brisk marsh]

That's a lot of big brain planning

[delicate grove]

there is if the whole point is to get a fast time

[cyan stratus]

yeah if i got random crits i could get 1:10 as huntress but it's not like there's actual competition

[zinc urchin]

yet

[delicate grove]

if the highscores were based on points and not time then it would be different

[cyan stratus]

because of the way the leaderboards are set up there will always be people who cheat in their times

which means there will never be actual competition based on the leaderboards

[zinc urchin]

Yeah that part kinda sucks

But still, just because something is small and trivial doesnt mean we cant note its issues

[delicate grove]

its like playing a racing game and having random bursts of speed

[cyan stratus]

of course we can mention plenty of issues of some random side gamemode but it's not like it'll do much about it

quick restart, character-specific leader boards, etc

[brisk marsh]

We have all the time in the world to waste compared to the devs.

[cyan stratus]

but this is just some side gamemode which nobody really cares that much about

[zinc urchin]

Since when in the last 10 years has people talking about issues online ever changed anything lmao

[azure schooner]

some of the biggest speedrunning communities have alot of rng tho

[zinc urchin]

That is true

[cyan stratus]

ok but prismatic trials last 3 days

[zinc urchin]

However most of the games with them weren't designed to be speedrunned

[azure schooner]

in goldeneye there are random bursts of speed that you can get from the npcs

[delicate grove]

do any of those games have official high scores tables

[azure schooner]

nah, they're too old

even now nobody really cares about speedrunning

[zinc urchin]

Yeah, but golden eye is a FPS shooter thats ment to be played via shooting people . Its not specifically designed to be done as fast as possible

[cyan stratus]

once there are incentives to speedrun prismatic trials and there are plenty of people with similar times, and the gamemode is alive and well it's maybe useful to talk about removing stuff like base crit chance and overhauling the gamemode to minimize rng

[zinc urchin]

Man this server has an unhealthy obsession with saying "Nobody cares about X" dont they

[cyan stratus]

but currently there's absolutely no reason to

[zinc urchin]

Yeah but its still fun to talk about o.o

[cyan stratus]

yea we've speculated many ways to make the gamemode better in the past

[zinc urchin]

Unsurpisingly

[delicate grove]

lets speculate some more

[zinc urchin]

^

[cyan stratus]

scroll up like 6 months

[zinc urchin]

Or we can discuss it with the people here who have diffrent ideas and opinions owo

[delicate grove]

i think it would be interesting to have prismatic trials score based on points to be honest

since the only other time you see points is at the end of a regular run

[zinc urchin]

The entire point system would need to be rewords then tho

As it'll just become an endurance test

God forbid if artifact of sacrafice turns up

[azure schooner]

maybe combine speed and points like in the original mario bros

[delicate grove]

yeah obv time would just be negative points

or something

[zinc urchin]

Or heres an idea, have 2 leaderboards

[keen grove]

A weekly or monthly ror2 leaderboard would be interesting

Similiar to slay the spire

it just shows: longest run, fastest obliteration, highest score
From any run in that time frame

Another thing it'd be cool for seeds to be added or a speedrun mode, ie teleported charged upon boss completion because the only thing in speedrun.com changing times Is time to activate teleporter and time outside it

[glad lance]

Anyone having a tip to finish the mercenary prismatic trial without having your health under 100% ?

[keen grove]

Don't get hit and copy cabbage

[delicate grove]

teleporter should charge on boss kill in the regular game imo

[remote shore]

@azure schooner kinda disagree, speedrunning has only gotten bigger over time thanks to the ever growing popularity of twitch

[zinc urchin]

@glad lance In the current one on PC theres a purple utlilty box that has the Amber in it that gives you overshields right next to spawn. Overshield put you above 100% HP, giving you a little bit of leeway for the challenge. If it hasn't changed, this ones really easy to do it with because of how accessible the item is ^w^

[glad lance]

tenk u

[zinc urchin]

also dont wait around, get the item, use your R to destroy the crytals and get out of there

its only 2 levels. Use your dash abilty on the wisps becuase they will fuck your shit up, other then that its mostly just dodging and spamming the spacebar

[glad lance]

👍

[zinc urchin]

hopefully you get the unlock! Imo its not as good due to losing the the invincibility the original gives but still worth getting :D

[rotund sierra]

Ω

[crude coral]

Are PC and counsel trials the same?

[zinc urchin]

Non, diffrent seeds from what I've been told

[shut willow]

we should to rename prismatic trials to "merc achivment".

[hasty rain]

^

[dire flax]

its way too easy to get

[cyan stratus]

yeah this seed is pretty easy

[dire flax]

just dont engage with anything

[silent birch]

Why do the 2 bosses spawn up top ffs, Im already playing wheres waldo between all the other glacials

[elfin plinth]

@solemn fiber time to post cabag

[solemn fiber]

i was faster than you

[elfin plinth]

Sh

I was looking up whether it was you who posted the cabage

[solemn fiber]

i always post it

[remote shore]

[remote shore]

honestly trying this with engi has felt like bashing my head against a wall for a few hours

[silent birch]

Worth it imo
Now to figure out how tf wig shaved off 36 seconds

[elfin plinth]

took loader

[silent birch]

Im also loader

[elfin plinth]

loadered faster

[solemn fiber]

@delicate grove

[elfin plinth]

wig,how do you loader faster

[silent birch]

Theres only 3 crystals on 2nd map, the other 2 are right next to each other inside the caves lol

[solid venture]

im not the best at these

but uh... ID say pretty good.

[zinc urchin]

Oh hey the nomew one spawned

[zinc urchin]

Wow I guess the speed runners arnt pushing this thing yet

Except Wig :D

Top 14 as of 10:00 BST

The biggest things to discuss are item choice (Command gives us 1 green item, and nearby the first teleporter is an Active item and a white box)

General Route, as always

and the beetle boss fight due to the awful spawns

[zinc urchin]

Stopping at a sub 2:30, for now

[delicate grove]

royal capacitor helps loader kill the crystals

[zinc urchin]

ooh, i didnt consider that

I went with the void and Wil-o-the-wisp to make the secondary boss fight an instant clear

I dont think any of the crystals are really that bad w/ loader to use Cap but your the pro loader here ^w^

[delicate grove]

the crystal on stage 2 right in the opposite corner

its worth it to use cap on that imo

[zinc urchin]

How many crystals are on stage 2?

[delicate grove]

5 but two are in caves

[zinc urchin]

My current route has me getting the one right next to spawn, punching then grappling the roof to get to the Cave entrance (Jump side) crystal, then swinging up to the portal crystal before sliding over to the Main portal

I imagine the other route probably has you go from Spawn crystal to Portal crystal and finding the Cave entrance crystal on the way

I did find the final Lumarian fight an utter ballache to do w/o the void due to it being artic, again, and the freezes mixed with fireballs often making its a really scrappy fight

(also whoever gets sub 2mins gets a cookie)

While I have your attention wig, any small tips with loader?

[brisk marsh]

||Go fest||

[delicate grove]

sprint when you grapple stuff is something not many people do

[brisk marsh]

When/if they add the auto sprint thingy I'm going to be so weirded out by not having to click sprint every half second.

[cyan stratus]

where are all the cheaters?

this should never be a thing

where the 3 second times at

[brisk marsh]

Tf

[zinc urchin]

Ay people are actually getting fas times

Anyone got a Sub 2 yet? :o

[delicate grove]

ill try get one now

[zinc urchin]

May I request a recording?

[delicate grove]

im recording :)

[zinc urchin]

Yay

[delicate grove]

https://youtu.be/CIVwRh1WcrE

found a new route on stage 2 that made way more sense

[remote shore]

2:35 now with engi lmao

[zinc urchin]

Very nice wig

[cloud oasis]

what items yall get on loader with this trial rn

[zinc urchin]

See wigs video

[cloud oasis]

thanks

[remote shore]

2:29 now

[brisk marsh]

Noice

[zinc urchin]

@delicate grove If you want to beat your time may I suggest this opener? Its a much harder trick to pull off (it took me a couple attempts and I still help the punch too long) but it lands you right where you want to be which'll save you a couple seconds
https://gfycat.com/sphericalickyfinwhale

Its much easier to pull off with the Alt punch

[delicate grove]

idk if the rest of the run can be done with alt punch

but i will try that with regular punch

[cloud oasis]

@delicate grove hey man, whats your sprint bind? im having some troubles holding charge punch and sprinting, gets a bit confusing for me. thanks in advance

im uh not good at this it seems

ooh got a 4:03, a bit faster

[delicate grove]

sprint is shift for me

charge punch is right click

[cloud oasis]

thanks

3:59.79 lmao i just cant get better at this

[zinc urchin]

I'll record myself later, im not a pro loader like Wig that'll show you an easy route for getting 2:30ish

(I prefer Alt punch personally but Wig uses a lot of shortcuts that require Default punch)

[cloud oasis]

thanks

[zinc urchin]

its very similar to Wigs route, but uses a few tricks that make life a little easier

[remote shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpIMqB9zDxM recorded my 2:29 engineer time if anyone wants to have a crack at it, tried a bunch of different methods item wise, not sure if there's anything obvious being missed

[delicate grove]

looks decent

[zinc urchin]

Why ukuku over Wisp?

[delicate grove]

when you get vase you could maybe activate the equipment barrel and immediatley go and activate the teleporter, then run back and get the vase

[elfin plinth]

ukuku

[zinc urchin]

I feel like double wisp would be faster than Ukukuku and Old Gullo

[elfin plinth]

ukukuku

[zinc urchin]

ukukukukuku

[elfin plinth]

wait is this going for forever now

[zinc urchin]

both you and Wig picked up Ukululu, whats the reasoning behind it?

I fully understand hoppo, fastest speed thing in the west... mabey red whip is faster but you lose the combat movment

[delicate grove]

https://youtu.be/p4gGkjspBC8

[remote shore]

@delicate grove i will give that a go, often there are rogue beetles who make it up to the top section if i deviate from the current strategy too much

[delicate grove]

fuel cell is better

damned rogue beetles

[remote shore]

honestly

ive had enough of beetles

[zinc urchin]

that first floor was fucking beautiful wig

Legit work of art, well done

the power move on the upper beetle, the pre-planning of that asshole who jumps up almost immediately followed by cutting off the next one, stopping him also jumping up, and then into some wonderfully mathed punches for obscene optimisation

Big claps

[delicate grove]

i was waiting for a beetle to line up at the end

but it turned out to not be a boss beetle and i lost like 2-3 seconds

[zinc urchin]

yeah, the biggest issue w/ this seed is that the issue of not knowing if a beetle is boss or just a regular elite is impossible to deal with

[delicate grove]

its even harder to tell with the lemurians

[zinc urchin]

I never had that issue due to my outdated Void + Wisp technique that just deleted everything

[delicate grove]

i use pylon just so it hits them and i can see which ones are red hp bars

[zinc urchin]

What do you think the lowest possible is?

We looking at 1:40?

[delicate grove]

i think you can get all the lemurians with two punches

so yeah i guess somewhere around there

[zinc urchin]

I need to get used to default fist if I wanna speedrun stuff

Too in love with alt punch

[zinc urchin]

Got a video of an easy 2:30 route for beginners (like myself), with tons of obvious mistakes that you can clearly see to optimise

rewatching it, fuck did it that last part hurt

like, 10 seconds loss

Are you fricking kidding me

[solid venture]

I am sure i can get faster than 4:37 with mult. But i need to only grab so few guillotines and crowbars, as well the accumilator to maximize on killing the groups needed for the teleporter

[zinc urchin]

oh you can push for at least 3 mins

without question

https://youtu.be/ETYUyusRu_E

Hopefully that helps people who just wanna go fast but aren't pro, I dont do anything difficult here and get a decent time out of it

"Decent" being currently 10th place, so....

(also if you want to see utter suffering jump to like, 2:20)

[manic dragon]

Lmao I cant even beat the first stage before 2 minutes and @zinc urchin calls themselves bad

[zinc urchin]

Did you watch the vid?

[manic dragon]

Yeah

But I should probably say that I've only owned the game since 3 days ago

I'm already addicted though

[zinc urchin]

its a very good game

[manic dragon]

Agreed

I played RoR1 and that wasn't bad either

[zinc urchin]

@solid venture heres a time to beat~ (3:35)

[solid venture]

Hmmst. Now i actually wanna try

8')

[zinc urchin]

Lowered it to a 3:28, not gunna hunt for lower tho becuase its Multi xD

Heres proof if you need it

yell if you want assistance Doomie, I love this sorta stuff even if im not the best at it :D

[solid venture]

Mult is too fun.

:D

[raven socket]

Is being 148 for 3rd time doing a trial good?

[zinc urchin]

148 what?

and depends what platform

[tough belfry]

and how many times you've tried it is a shit way to judge how good it is

[zinc urchin]

I assume its not the PC seed because there isnt even a 1:48 on the board too :P

[tough belfry]

i'd assume they mean 148th place

[zinc urchin]

Oh, what time is that?

Its still super early on in the runs, not even 24h have passed so 148 could still be a 4 minute run or something

[raven socket]

yeah 148th, its 6:04 I think

[zinc urchin]

PC build?

And what character? :o

[raven socket]

Huntress pc

I havent played in a month or so and wanted to try trials cuz i never did so im just asking

[zinc urchin]

in all honesty a 6 min time is fairly slow

A decent time is pretty consistently sub 3 minutes

[raven socket]

okay, gotta improve

[zinc urchin]

If you scroll up you can find My video, showcasing an easy route for a sub-3 minuite time with loader

Further up you can find Wig's 3rd place run which is a 1:45

[raven socket]

are those purple things on different places for each character?

[zinc urchin]

nup

[raven socket]

wtf

One of mines was on the other place

im pretty sure

[zinc urchin]

there are 5 total crystals

you only need to break 3

[raven socket]

Oooooh

makes more sense now XD

[zinc urchin]

you also dont need to charge the teleporter

The teleporter instantly charges when you kill the boss when playing prismatic

[raven socket]

I noticed that one

any more things I need to know?

[zinc urchin]

Items should only be collected when you think its worth the time

Often Active items, or the free item that spawns from the teleporter

[raven socket]

thanks, Ill share if I get a better time later

[zinc urchin]

With this run speifically, theres an Equipment box right next to the portal, you can spawn the portal event and open the box before it gets (temporarily) locked, giving you access to either Royal Capacitor (For the Fastest possible route) or Primordial Cube (For my easier but slower Route)

[pine vine]

someone can tell me pls if in the prismatic runs you can get a overloading worm plss :3

[tough belfry]

no

[pine vine]

thanks

[raven socket]

Thanks @zinc urchin, got my time down to 3:25, pretty satisfied for today, will seek out more strats tomorrow

and sorry for @

[solid venture]

excuise me wait. 48 seconds

[cloud oasis]

@zinc urchin hey man, thanks so much for that route

first run using that route and i got this time

3:03 now

ooh guess i can call myself decent now?

[ionic rover]

your mother is decent

[solid venture]

got 3:47 😄

[cloud oasis]

nice

what surv?

[solid venture]

mult again

now down to 3:39

rank 69

[cloud oasis]

nice

[solid venture]

i think thats a good time for me, especially for mult for now.

[zinc urchin]

Ayyy, congrats guys ^w^

[raven socket]

Just bumped it down to 3:10 but im struggling to controll the autoaim, usually shoot at wrong enemies with huntress

Is there any clips of those top huntress runs?

[zinc urchin]

Not as far as I know

The fastest confirmed legit time we have is Wigs unless another well known community member has taken it

[solid venture]

Someone apparentlyndidnitnin 48 seconds

[latent jasper]

cheat engine.ini

[elfin plinth]

thats hard to read

[solid venture]

Thats what i was thinkin

[cyan stratus]

i feel slightly accomplished

[red sinew]

wow

[zinc urchin]

only a couple seconds faster then ;3

[tacit fjord]

Are you gonna post it?

[cyan stratus]

no

[tacit fjord]

I see your trying to keep your rex trade secrets from us.
I respect it.

[zinc urchin]

its probably just skilful boop movement with precise right clip destruction

the only part im unsure on is the start, if he gets 1 or 2 hoppos from the green chests

[cyan stratus]

it's just a rex run loader is faster idk why i would upload

[zinc urchin]

memes?

Still only managed a 2:35

Actually an easier route than my loader route that is only 5 seconds slower xD

[cloud oasis]

what do you guys think they'll reward the top 10% of players in prismatic trials in the future

[latent jasper]

nothing

[rancid rampart]

any tips for mercenary?

I'm trying to get ethereal

[latent jasper]

dont get hit

[rigid bronze]

When i did it, i just got milky crysalis, fuel cell to fly for longer, 5 missile drones, and then i flew around while the drones killed the blazing magma worm boss. And then
I would fall and take 1 point of fall damage, ruining the run. (literally 1 point of damage)

[latent jasper]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rigid bronze]

blazing magma worm was probably the hardest boss i could have gotten for the challenge to be honest. His fire trail goes way ahead of where he is, marking out the path he takes and that fire trail rather then the boss himself ruined the majority of my attempts

seems like he actually follows a path on the ground and then sometimes goes in a straight line to a different target ignoring the ground, so standing on a bridge between crates in the snowy level got me hit by the fire trail all the time.

[zinc urchin]

if you've been in the level long enough where the boss is MAGMA WORM you going about this wrong

Speed is 100% your friend here

Also, OVERSHIELDS lets you take damage

with Command, you should be stacking Amber to give you that lifeline. Use your greens on A ukululu and Wisps for your bonus damage sources

and be out of the level by at most 5 minutes

[latent jasper]

barriers will be your free ethereal if you can get them as said above

topaz brooches make ethereal as easy as it can be because barriers aren't counted as health, so they're priority

i don't think ukulele is that great when it comes to trials but i could be wrong (i think eviscerate does a fine job w/ wisps)

[rancid rampart]

I keep getting uncommon items in most chests during this trial tho

the vast majority of the items are uncommon

[latent jasper]

it is what it is for this seed ig

[rancid rampart]

cause I'm not familiar with the mercenary so I have no idea how to build him lol

[sonic heart]

Anything that gets you health on hit

Harvesting scythe, leeching seed, medkit, rejuvenation rack

[zinc urchin]

Again, thats wrong

health on hit is worthless

Becuase you dont want to get hit to lose health

[sonic heart]

then what? soldier syringes, alien head?

[zinc urchin]

The best you can do if you need to use green items for survivality is Wax quill and Rose Buckeler as the armour will let your overshields be more effective

but the ONLY tanking item you can even consider is Topaz Brooch

nothing else matters

[sonic heart]

Aegis begs to differ

[zinc urchin]

Sure, lemmie know when you get a red drop on a primsatic floor 1

and then a source of healing consistent enough to make it worth something

[sonic heart]

bruh, I'm talking about a chill run, not a time attack

[zinc urchin]

We're talking about getting the merc achievement?

Where speed is a vital part of getting the achievement as the faster you do it, the easier enemies you have to fight (and dodge)

[sonic heart]

Eh, fair enough

[rancid rampart]

thank u guys for the help

after my third try I finally got it with a bunch of AOE and brochures

[zinc urchin]

\o/

[cyan stratus]

this trial is extremely boring

[cyan stratus]

keep taking 1 tick of dmg 11 minutes into the run i'll do this tomorrow

[brisk marsh]

Don't know if that's a prismatic trial.

[cyan stratus]

this is why people make fun of weebs

[brisk marsh]

You could say that about any group if that's the case.

[rancid rampart]

some trials are super boring

[solemn fiber]

yeah but its an issue when the guy whos been running the trials every 3 days for about a year now who makes tutorials for others to follow for the trial says that

[tacit fjord]

Nobody actually has mercanery's alt its just a myth.

[karmic mauve]

alt skin?

or alt ability?

[latent jasper]

can you not

i doubt anyone wants to play truth or dare in this server

[solemn fiber]

could you not?

if you want that shit go to another discord

this is for risk of rain 2.

Also you missed to count the one on May 25th so if you were numbering them based on video this would be your #39th.

Unless your numbering convention is based off your posts in which case the one you "missed" was deleted by the mods so it might not count.

[zinc urchin]

Wtf is this prismatic

0 items elite boss fights?

[zenith shore]

isn't it a challenge that changes weekly or bi-weekly?

[zinc urchin]

every 3 days

[zenith shore]

Oh okay

[zinc urchin]

well this isnt fun

[zinc urchin]

nope fucki this prismatic this is dumb :(

you can probably get top 100 just by compelting it

[azure schooner]

are prismatic trials always on rainstorm?

yes

Why is she so sad?

because rumia knows it wont sate her hunger

why did the devs make it so hard to get some of the alt abilities?

[gaunt citrus]

It's a challenge. Try to find an easy seed

[cyan stratus]

if you get it on this seed you deserve it

whats the current seed?

very un-fun

My extensive knowledge of pokemon wasted...

[regal hinge]

How do I not get hit with the merc

[azure schooner]

just watch cabbage he makes videos of every trial

[rancid rampart]

this trial is so fking stupid

no items and u have to fight elites???

[cyan stratus]

both bosses are simple if you learn their attack patterns, neither are blazing

[foggy lynx]

im having hard time doing the merc's prismatic trial . sighh

i tried copying cabbage's strat, failed epicly xD

[zinc urchin]

this current one is awful for the challange

I suggest waiting a couple days for the new one

[cyan stratus]

if you get it on an easy challenge you won't learn anything

[spring marsh]

like me lmao

first day of the artifacts i found daggers on the glass artifact one and did it with no repeats

[lime nacelle]

this is a pretty hard trial right?

just got the game, want to make sure I'm not just bad

[cyan stratus]

probably the 3rd hardest so far yeah

[lime nacelle]

damn not sure if i should keep trying

[cyan stratus]

finally got a good strat for ethereal and got to 2nd teleporter too fast so i got overloading beetle guards instead of a grovetender lol

this one is actually pretty hard

[tacit fjord]

@solemn fiber you beat me by 2 seconds

Ive lost

[indigo snow]

Playing those simultaneously is like listening to the same song with the same background from two different sources at the same time

[lime nacelle]

holy shit cabbage you are nuts

[neat tusk]

[ebon nest]

Cabbage is absolutely insane

however, @cyan stratus im wondering how you are able to use multiple moves while in your r ability, i noticed that back on #34

[cyan stratus]

i use different keybinds, if you mean dash it resets cooldown every time you dash through an enemy up to 3 dashes

[sonic trail]

R would be like arrow rain

[obtuse wing]

I literally can’t find the teleporter on the second zone (xbox version)

[lime nacelle]

wouldn't it be in the same location in the video cabbage posted?

[elfin plinth]

xbox and pc are different

[solemn fiber]

@obtuse wing xbox n pc trials aren't synced, and theres an entire update between the two anyway

[obtuse wing]

yeah i know

i just spent like 15 minutes on stage 2 trying to find the tp and gave up😅

and i’m not like, new to the game, i’ve gotten all the characters and done several monsoon completions, just can’t find the stupid teleporter, i swear i looked everywhere... I must be blind or something

[cyan stratus]

what map is it

[lime nacelle]

oh had no idea good to know

[ebon nest]

@cyan stratus i saw you autoattacking a crystal once through your ultimate ability basically

Is it possible for a different boss to spawn in primatic trials? cause I just got a blazing imp overlord instead the overloading alloy vultures in stage 2

[elfin plinth]

yes,changes based on time

[wispy tundra]

thanks

[tacit fjord]

Crap. I was way too late. You win.

[topaz bluff]

that prismatic trial was easy

artifact of frality was supposed to be the challenge cause mega fall damage but

loader hour

[cyan stratus]

@delicate grove nice run any new strat?

[chilly needle]

Anyone got any tips for ethereal?

[delicate grove]

@cyan stratus for 20 stages?

[cyan stratus]

yeah i skimmed it and it just looks like guillotine spam though i didn't think they were that good past ~7

[delicate grove]

apparently 19 guillotines means elites take as long to die as normal enemies

t2 elites maybe

[azure schooner]

they actually stack pretty well until they go over 19

[tough belfry]

from what i can tell guillotine is basically just +20% dps but more consistent than e.g. stacking missiles

[zenith plinth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMDu2vl4SxE&feature=youtu.be

this is the best time I got, but a sub 1:40 should be possible with this route.

[delicate grove]

you can get better times with capacitor

[zenith plinth]

I tried a few runs with capacitor, I seemed to get similar stage 1 times but my stage 2 boss clear would always take at least 10 seconds longer.

My bird clear without the cube might just be really inefficient though I didn't really put too much thought into it.

[dense talon]

for prismatic trails can we maybe have a leaderboard sorting system thats based on class because i can tell you that loader will 99% of the time get a faster time then engineer.

[silent birch]

engi is like the slowest character of them all (someone got a high engi place not long ago lmao), huntress and merc both can actually be competive against loader

[cyan stratus]

no

merc will never beat loader

[silent birch]

depends on the trial

[remote shore]

I've said before that it would be cool to have different leaderboards for different characters for trials, not that it will ever get implemented as its an incredibly small niche and not really worth the time but it would create more variety in strategy and more fun discussion

[tough belfry]

we have wanted and asked for that for over a year, including directly saying to the devs that we want it

so i'd assume it's not going to happen

but if you want someone to beat your time on a specific character you can post it here

[azure schooner]

it's atleast a low priority so maybe after the game release

[zenith plinth]

Merc could maybe beat loader if there were a chest right off spawn that gave a hardlight afterburner and one of the bosses was a vagrant, but that's like a 1/1,000,000 seed. But for the most part loader is queen.

[indigo snow]

I think you mean queen

[tough belfry]

honestly i think even with that if only one of the bosses was a vagrant merc would still lose

and with both bosses vagrants you'd still need there to not be good loader items available

[silent birch]

think it would have to be flying bosses with honour art

loader can benefit from hardlight too

[fiery hill]

loader is the monarch.

that solves the ror1 vs ror2 loader gender confusion

[chrome void]

loader is a girl

[sweet plover]

loader is a girl its writen "she" or "her" in the game

@delicate grove aw, was fun lol

[delicate grove]

hehe

[cyan stratus]

not getting sub 1

[delicate grove]

this trial is cool

with loader i have to get the equipment barrel on stage 1 in order to get lvl 2 so i can 1 shot the first crystal with grapple on stage 2

[cyan stratus]

i fail to see how an equipment barrel would accomplish that

but that sounds suboptimal since you could achieve the same thing with a 1/100 crit

[delicate grove]

equipment barrel gives you xp

and i get it after activating the tp

but yeah who wants to rely on 1/100

[cyan stratus]

you mean the exp barrel thing

[delicate grove]

oh yeah

Okay, now don't beat me, I gotta go to bed

[cyan stratus]

so that's what it took

hook line and sinker

[pearl eagle]

It's a long summer vacation, just let me know whenever arti gets a good trial

No crystal boosts on this one, which is what I miss the most tbh

[cyan stratus]

do you still get boosted if teddy bear procs

because then i think there's a s2 boost

[serene swan]

post as artificer

[pearl eagle]

I'm getting some 10% run vibes

[serene swan]

curious to see

[cyan stratus]

also how did you save a second over me

when do you use the tonic thing

[pearl eagle]

Right at the start

I just wax quail jump to s2 portal lol

Wait

[cyan stratus]

do you skip the chest?

[pearl eagle]

I don't use tonic at all, I use vase from s1 start

[cyan stratus]

wtf

[pearl eagle]

Inferior route lmao

[cyan stratus]

i will prove that my route is superior

[lucid bobcat]

rooting for you, cabbage

[cyan stratus]

you're gonna be disappointed

im the worst of the 3 original trial runners

[lucid bobcat]

but you're the only one with a cabbage.mp4 after your vid releases

[pearl eagle]

I'm rusty as hell though, I haven't played the game this way in so long

[cyan stratus]

i think this trial would be better if those jellyfish didn't

[pearl eagle]

You get jellyfish s1?

Aight, I got a run recorded but I wanna test a theory first to see if I can improve my time

Aight myth busted, give me 10-15min to upload

[cyan stratus]

what do you get for s1

[pearl eagle]

https://youtu.be/dOOZYpPVDd4

Vase

Please improve it, would love for Arti to beat Loader

[silent birch]

^

[cyan stratus]

i mean time, not items

[pearl eagle]

Uhm, usually I just complete whenever s1 is sub 0:30, but 0:28 is what you would be looking for ideally I think

[cyan stratus]

oh you're using flamethrower lmao

yeah for my route 1:03 is pretty much capped but i think i can improve that

[pearl eagle]

Please do

#MakeArtiQueenAgain

Wait, are you using ion surge? Holy shit I didn't even consider that

[cyan stratus]

wow wtf were you doing lol

[pearl eagle]

Don't ask okay

[cyan stratus]

yeah i used tonic + surge to get to tp fast

[pearl eagle]

Oh, I see

[cyan stratus]

was pretty cool but i guess it will never see the light of day

[pearl eagle]

Do you end up falling short on damage or something? Because if you don't use vase s1, you will have it for s2 right?

[delicate grove]

loader queen

[pearl eagle]

spit

[cyan stratus]

no i just didnt get vase

beat ur time by 1 second 1st try with a 32sec s1 lol

[pearl eagle]

lmao

[silent birch]

sub-1 arti is possible then

[pearl eagle]

Do you use vase on s1 or s2?

[cyan stratus]

got sub 1 but i want sub 59

s1 of course

if i use tonic the cooldown lasts until 2nd boss is dead

what's loader

more like slowder

[pearl eagle]

You tell 'em Cabbage

[lucid bobcat]

oh boy, 34 seconds

I could probably shave half of that off

[cyan stratus]

?

[lucid bobcat]

32, my bad

wait no i'm slow

[pearl eagle]

Are you using ion surge for the fights instead of flamethrower? I must be missing something cuz I'm not able to go fast

[cyan stratus]

no flamethrower saves a ton of time

i think you're not sprinting for s2 or something

[pearl eagle]

Bruh

The hell are you doing differently from me then?

[cyan stratus]

vase rng

[pearl eagle]

vase rng?

[cyan stratus]

picking up the tonic before you enter the tunnel

[pearl eagle]

Oh god no

[cyan stratus]

got 58.89 with crit flamethrower but my internet stopped

idk if it counted lol

[pearl eagle]

Didn't update on scoreboard atleast

[cyan stratus]

i have video evidence

[prime scarab]

i can't even do merc challenge in prismatic trial

[pearl eagle]

Do you have to activate tonic before charging nano to get damage boost?

[cyan stratus]

yesn't

or maybe

[pearl eagle]

Roger that

SunlessJP, check the pins, Cabbage made a great video for the current trial on how to complete the ethereal challenge

[cyan stratus]

i have a secret s2 strat btw

[pearl eagle]

Teddy bear crystal boost?

[cyan stratus]

no

[pearl eagle]

You care to share, or do I have to wait until you get sub 58?

[cyan stratus]

i would impart my wisdom in the form of a video but i am without internet

flamethrower needs to be activated after tonic

didnt do that in my 58

[pearl eagle]

Starting to feel fast again

[cyan stratus]

internet back

got a 58:50 and it counted lol

did you find my secret strat

[pearl eagle]

Is the secret strat to jump down into the abyss?

[cyan stratus]

..maybe

summoning and entering a gold portal just ends the trial smh

no fun allowed

[pearl eagle]

Cabbage, you ever thought about trying MUL-T?

[cyan stratus]

who

[elfin plinth]

robot guy

[cyan stratus]

never played him

[pearl eagle]

I recall differently

[cyan stratus]

what could inspire that recollection

[pearl eagle]

Robot boy starts with a preon and can hold two equipments

Double vase strats?

lmao

[cyan stratus]

nah idk how that character works

[indigo snow]

Did somebody say HAN-D

[pearl eagle]

Please tell me you killed yourself atleast once doing the nade charge combo

[cyan stratus]

no that was first try lmao

[pearl eagle]

Did you do double vase? Or just one vase?

[cyan stratus]

1

[pearl eagle]
