what was it?
The Ethereal achievment
Did somebody end up making an April Fools run using Slicing Winds?
Using the ability you get from Ethereal to get Ethereal
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Hello, I've never really tried doing Prismatic Trials before so I decided to give a shot and here is my best run, any feedback is appreciated
https://youtu.be/mXX7ITza3g4
I have no clue how people do it so fast as Bandit, lol

I did it! That video helped a ton with just like, general strategy. Never would've guessed that Razorwire + Topaz Brooch strat. Thank you!
i got the ethereal too with just topaz brooch. great strat. 😌
Thank god you exist i am so bad with dealing with wisps
Happy to help, love the community and game a ton
I love everything with this game except that challenge


Current prismatic trials made me realise just how much i hate lesser wisps
not sure, all i know is if wisps are involved dont even bother. its not worth the torture
But the trial is so good...
its an awful ability anyway, work on other less annoying things, like 20 stages commando
it's a straight upgrade lol
correct
Good to know, i'll try that
ahhh i finally managed to do it
congrats
Its sadly not but cabbage made an amazing video
Check pins for the videoo
But u can def follow the general strat.
Any tips on getting the other ability for mercenary?
I GOT IT YAY

Yes
Go through with topaz brooch
Alright
Several
Anything else lol
Uh
The gunner turret
Get an armor plate and turrets
Also if you can get a wax quail for stage 2 if you're on pc
that's actually a really nice run! There are a few tricks you can utilize to break some of the crystals faster as loader. I was curious myself so here's a run I did as loader: https://youtu.be/ZMl6qP8o3ww
Hey this is really helpful! I didn't know you could do that using Loader's grapple ability...
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
#141
You barely have any hp to begin with, aren't you a bit forced into not taking damage?
fuel cell + preon will take care of the bosses for you. You just have to destroy the crystals and get there :D
Hm
I could try that
In all honesty I don't like thr trials at all and would never do them if it wasn't for this poorly designed achievement
Sadge
@indigo snow
i wonder how many players have avoided doing that achievement
me for one lmao

I was doing tje trials for console just now
And its on siren’s call. Does anyone know what would happen if I beat the AWU instead?
It’s not bad. U just cant really use topaz spam because everything one shots.
#2
@indigo snow pin maybe idk this is my first time
wait is it an ethereal video
let me check and if it’s not I’m really fucking sorry for the ping shy
Yup its an ethereal video for console
sorry for what?
Instead you have a sweet damage buff to abuse the hell out of
it’s my fault that I might have mistakenly pinged shy because my monkey brain sees prismatic trial video and I know that you uploaded an ethereal video so my brain goes “ok cool new console ethereal upload maybe I should start doing the counting thing that vulf is doing”
Yesiirrrrrrr 🙂
Ah gotcja gotcha lol
Yeah i try to do one every weekend
Can't take damage if there is nothing left alive to damage you
Lmaoo too tru
THIS ACHIEVMENT IS JANK AND I HATE IT!
Just dodge 😏
how can i when wisps spawn?


Yes
Plenty of people have done it and plenty more will
It's one of the few skill-based (or waiting until the "perfect seed" comes around) challenges in the game
yeah and i fucking despise it
I am more on the side of
It wouldve been cooler if it wad judt survive a stage without going below 100%
Instead of doing an alternate gamemode to unlock something
^^^^
"would be cooler if they did the exact same thing as another achievement in the game" 
I think it would be cool to have something else like "dont get hit for the duration of the teleporter" instead. Or like said above. Dont get hit for a entire stage. This achievment is wayyyy too hard compared to the rest imo
Being above 100% hp is easier than "dont get hit at all"
Since barrier blocks dmg
If its in ANY stage i think its easier
Or maybe rework it like : "dodge" a certain amount of damage with the I-frames
I really hate today's trial, tbh
Glass is one of the artifacts that I dread playing with, because of how you only have 10% HP.
In terms of ethreal or speedrun?
I'd say for both, really.
Then again, I am trash at this game still, so there's that-
i mean
glass is legit good for etheral
since you dont wanna take dmg anyway lol
^
this is unlocked by swinging a blade once
It's supposed to be use 20 abilities in 10 seconds, but I used two in two seconds...
Yeah
That's a bug.
A good bug, but still a bug nonetheless.
I can't even seem to get past the first area without dying. :(
Let alone not falling below 100%.
This achievement is so stupid.
chill, wait till cabbage posts a vid
.
sorry i just spaced out watching the vid
this is some kind of art
Ah, thanks.
He makes a Mercenary: Ethereal guide for every prismatic trial
You can find them in the pins
Saw that, yeah. STill new to this community, like I said
I'm trying to follow this guide, and I'm STILL getting hit.
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I absolutely hate this challenge...
I just can't seem to do this no matter how much I follow the video
I get sniped or I get killed.
I almost am ready to give up.
nah, this looks really hard, elite wisps with swarms are not the jam, wait another 3 days
This is bullshit. Pure and simple.
you can also edit the file n stuff
Might just do that to give me this achievement.
Because tbh, I don't want to tear my hair out
I've decided to give up on this trial for now.
I'll come back in three days with a new seed.
make sure you are at same place at same time so that the spawns will also be same, then grind the same run 20-30 times and you should be able to memorize it and get a lucky success
first 2-3 runs dont stop if you get hit and dont get tilted
if you forget where to go you can pause the run and check what cabbage does and then continue
I've decided that it's best for me to step away from this seed for the time being and do something else. Don't wanna get frustrated.
i've tried this challenge with merc to get the thing so many times but ho-LY is this prismatic trial is bad for him
guess ill wait for the next rotation, this one is extremely frustrating
ive managed to pass the first part a few times but i then die to the second by some other bs
I think I'll do this trial as someone else.
Honestly, I think that this trial is probably suited for Bandit or Captain.
Or Huntress.
Yeah def nico
Merc’s alt is def one of the select challenges that actually tests your ability as a player
I forgot about this achievement.
Cabbage video is pretty cool
I killed the first boss with his method but died right after 🛌
I guess we go again
Yeah this isn't happening
I didn't get an occasion to play the the current trials but i think that by murdering everything you see you can survive, as i said, there is nothing left to damage you if there is nothing left alive, and thats easy to do with the glass artifact
it's not easy at all
I can't get the bosses to line up
i get sniped
i made it to the 2nd boss fight
this mode fucking sucks
i'll just wait for a better seed
slower is just a guranteed hit
Try to get as far as possible and snipe them one bye kne
Nah it isnt. U can do it man
If u can get the equipment and to the greater wisps without getting hit u can def do it.
I got to the 2nd stage boss lol
Bruh then u tottallh got this
it's just luck
Try switching to capacitor than.
U can use it from very far
If u can get past stage 1 with it.
U can snipe the titans on stage 2
i wonder why topaz only gives 11
and then super diminishing returns
they're not even worth it
Topaz isnt great if u have 1.
Especially during a trial like this
All elites are likely to one shot
me: wants to clear
wisps: fuck you
Yeah definitely.
Though i beat the challenge but turns out I took i point of damage at some point...
Is there equipment on the first stage on console?
Ayyyyyyyy
Hmm I dont believe so but I didn’t do much searching on so u might get lucky.
There is a stage 2 equipment tho.
I go for the capacitor on stage 2 and grab a fuel cell on stage 1, but some times i get unlucky and get wisps during the stage 1 boss
Is one shaped glass enough to one shot the jellyfish with the capacitor?
No shaped glass is enough
Did u take the fuel cell from the chest or the tp reward?
Shrine by the teleporter
Exactly
Hmm in my video I said to wait for the wisp spawn but after running the trial again
If u can do it fast enough u can prevent them from spawning.
Trying to work out the time myself when the wisps will spawn because i dont always get them
Yeah its a bit strange.
But to help with the first tp. U wanna pre 3rd swing the titan as its spawning and whirlwind it for the band proc.
Sometimes i get wisps at the red chest and sometimes i dont
At the red chest?
The first one you go to in your vid
Ah we might have different pathing
O hmm. The wisps usually spawn
Pretty late
Ill try and run it again
Yeah alright
U can most definitely skip the shaped glass
And just grab 2 crystals and bands as fast as possible and get to the tp
I got an ice golem spawn tho... whicj is strange
Literally just got an ice golem by where I'd get the glass
Yeah same as well
Triple Dash them and it should kill them
Yah no. Thats really random actually
So i think the wisps spawn at tp at just over 2 minutes
I figured it was best for me to try again on another seed.
you know
Honestly i think its a good seed, its just the goddamn wisps
it's so open thou
Perhaps double imurity
so you usually get hung out to dry
Not sure where the bud u were talking about was
They may mean the pc seed
Probably
Console has a newt altar near the spawn
Also got the to tp in 1.50 and still got wisps
I do meant PC
Alright i got it
Wait till u get an ice golem spawn
Once that happnens i think the wisps are gone for tp
Is that by where I'd get the glass? I'll give it a try
I swear spawns arent consistent
So i took a bit longer and got the crystal on the other side of the tp and wisps dodnt spawn
Dope dope
Yeah i have no clue for the conditions of those wisps spawning
Although
I think i found an easier path
Here lemme work out some things and ill try and get a video
Aleigjt i got it
ayo, any tips for unlocking the merc alt on this pt?
(items/equipment)
PC if that matters
Hmm cabbage used a preon to clear out the greater wisps
And used energy drinks. But thats about it
should i get the brooch?
No the brooch wont help much. Overloading/Blazing elites will one shot and ice elites will probably put u under 100%
@shim you absolutely beautiful person! I've been trying this all day and finally did it!
Good thing too because i felt my blood pressure rising 😅
I keep thinking that's Breadguy
Ayyyyyyy : )
https://youtu.be/5e1KuSb8ygA
(PC) Managed to snatch myself 36th place on the leaderboard after trying for a couple hours. Bandit is so perfect for this trial!
Took me about 2 hours. Landed myself 36th place on the leaderboard with a time of 1:46.28. I do believe Bandit is perfect for this trial.
I'm frankly amazed people can go much faster than this
you almost died at the end as well
ROAR2 LOL
Anyone has finished this trial with merc? 
Yep! I finally got the ethereal challenge done as well. If you're on PC, this will help you
Note: Currently, it appears that console and PC have different seeds. Once I have the means to produce videos for the console seed, I will. But as of right now, I do not.
The main part of this one that is so difficult is the wisps at the start, but once you get past that then it's fairly smooth sailing from there on. This is one of the easier t...
I would have lost it if I did lol

This prismatic trial is going to send me insane, too many times have i been teleporting away sub 1:50 only to get sicked by some beetle's ice field or sniped by a lemurian ;-;
This prismatic trial is showing me just how deceptively inconsistent prismatic trials are, despite being the same seed every time. Lessers wisps and beetles will sometimes spawn and sometimes not, no matter when I get to the teleporter T_T
(PC) Finally got up to 31st place with 1:29. Far as I can tell, none of the people above me are bandits, so maybe he's not actually the best survivor for this trial
Alot of it i feel is really high RNG as you said it was, but unfortunately i suspect alot of the people at the very top are cheating
Also congrats
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq2kuL5Ef48 I have a 1:36 recorded too but i'll probably not upload again till i can beat Morgrom (:
My actual best is 1:35 as seen in the leaderboard at the end, but this is the fastest time I have recorded atm.
I just want a consistent Beetleguard spawn location man.
Like damn, sometimes they won't even spawn.
whether i actually get or beat 1:30 completely depends on if the titans spawn in the same place, i can't progress without RNG anymore so i think ima stop for now lol
...... god damnit
I did it bois, 32nd at 1:28.42
very cool
i can't believe yall can do this
It just takes a bit of practice and the ability to resist smashing your keyboard in
a fuck ton of practice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UyBafQByvo for the 1:28 time
I could probably do it 3 seconds faster with just timing/skill, otherwise it's down to the RNG on where the titans spawn.
i'd think it would be faster going straight for the vase at the start and killing crystals while the equipment barrel opens
probably better dps if you use m2 idk though
This achievement is stupdi
This entire prismatic trial makes me want to jump off a cliff, hordes of wisps freaking sucks when you have so little health
If u can get past stage 1 consistently, u can pick up an capacitor on stage 2 near the crystals and snipe them.
There’s an equipment barrel near the 2 crystals.
I did it at 7am
I'm not sure if this belongs in game questions or the prismatic trials... but are these trials reset daily?
no, it's every 72 hours
Ah alright lol, thank you very much!
Thank you bro, i really needed it

Really really clean
I watched that video yesterday and I finally got the ability because of it
Glass trials are the only real way to get it honestly
did it again
https://youtu.be/yf_AghrN1TY
ive spent almost 2 hours trying to get this damn merc ability, got to the very end so many times but always get frozen or the stone titan somehow gets me with its damn ground thing that has a ridiculous hit box because even if you're outside of it you still get hit by it
very nice
2nd stage is super easy...
If your having trouble on stage 2 its gonna be easy. There’s an equipment barrel near the 2 crystals
Swap out your preon for a capacitor

hello is this #frog-general?
I was told i'd find frogs here

This was once a beautiful place
#prismatic-trials message
just checked in for the first time in a few months wtf you are still going
yes
impressive

Thank you SO MUCH






I actually got the merc achievement!
fireworks ftw
this trial is very interesting and fun, if you like running for your life
Got any tips? My item choices have been Amber Broach, either ukelele or wisp, another broach, and a rechargeable shield
who are you playing as
brooch is definitely a good choice but you can probably take a fuel cell for a disposable missile launcher
and you only need one brooch because of artifact of glass
Merc to get the achievement
alright so definitely take the fuel cell instead of the ukelele
your main sources of damage are gonna be fireworks and 
instead of
take 
you want
for the stage 2 boss
stack 3-4 of them if you can
Rank 60, 1:26.91
I got rank 898 but this was achievement time and playing it safe
Ah I see lol
A Friend of mine got the achievement as well, and he was like #3998 orr simethung like that
Something *
it took me soooooo many tries and I'm glad I now have it, one of the hardest achievements tbh
I'm trying to coach a friend who's doing it now
Awesome, hopefully he gets it!
I didn't use the newt altar because I am currently broke on lunar coins, but yeah I saw it
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
a bunch more wisps spawn if you stay too long on stage 1 and it's annoying so i rushed it. you could preon the boss and then wait 2 minutes until it's charged again but that's boring

I honestly can't imagine getting 1:06 on this prismatic trial, is there some skill that loader has that lets you teleport/blink around? I haven't actually played it before
what was the first frog here
wdym
Yeh it's bonkers to imagine
Did the trial restart today?
yeah
Haha wisp go crunch

Christ, I finally, after god knows how many attempts, I finally did that god-damned Ethereal achievement...
Did you get it on pc?
yup
Grats
Note: Currently, it appears that console and PC have different seeds. Once I have the means to produce videos for the console seed, I will. But as of right now, I do not.
This one is actually quite easy, so that makes two great seeds in a row! I probably won't make a video for every trial/seed, because a lot of them are simply bad for this chal...
i hope the wisps die in a fire tbh
Agreed
can you only get 1 etheral per trial?
so many times, so many times death to wisps
@thorny zodiac I love you
That Topaz is so clutch. Got it.
Finally got it Thank you!
finally got etheral ashnasdhshjhj
this trial was quite easy with the preon thank god
The true trial begins
Yep, today's is really good for ethreal
but honestly I didn't rely on preon that much cuz glass with bandolier is scary enough, plus you get a guillotine against elite swarm boss
any trial with glass, an early topaz brooch and minimal wisps is good for ethereal
True, sadly this one is just painful cuz there's a lot of wisps on stage one, and stage 2 has elite large wisps as boss
Yea i dont think i could have done the greater wisps without preon
Yall have 2 days
Just got Ethereal holy moly I never thought I would be able to do that
this seed is great




Is ethereal worth it?
just cheat it in if you want here and now
tbh most fun skill for mercenary
i like normal r better
slicing winds more than doubles your damage
SW helps cycle skills extremely fast because you get an extra exposed ability. More exposed hits means more blinding assualt = compensates for lost i-frames. Theyre both good. Slicing winds is an acquired taste
Hm, I'll have to test it out some more. I don't play Merc that often lol. Thank you!
Dang just saw that, at least he got good items, on the switch only rocket launcher and some other healing items spawn
Rocket launcher can be enough especially with glass
Hey, I'm trying to get sub 1:25 and I'm at 1:27. Any tips?
Running commando, I'm opening wax quail chest and HUD chest on the way to the boss, killing beetle queen, and grabbing both on the way out. start second teleporter, buy the drone, use HUD on wisps, and leave
using shotgun, base r, and slide
Who ever you are, thanks mate
I deviced a route with the launcher and a drone only to beat this
So for the switch, the strat is to destroy the first crystal to the left of the spawn point, then head to the missile drone and purchasing it after killing the first lemurian. Then go buy the twin bullet thing for the boss, and kill some enemies for the rocket launcher
Afterwards head to the direction of the teleporter, destroy the crystal to the left and then go to destroy the crystal closest to the teleporter with evicerate
Then kill some fodder enemies, activate the teleporter and kill queen beetle with the rocket launcher
Second level is very easy
Only tricky part is killing the golem, tho, you can through buying the turret closest to the 2nd teleporter and you get the achievement
wow i've 1 second more than you and i'm 138th
how hard is to do better lmao
Hahahah, that was taken 5 minutes after the new trial seed was released lmao, I think I'm like 89 with my new time
i got something lik 2:44 on bandit
545 place, very low tho i really tried😔
oke maybe i'm exaggerating, i'm starting to like prismatics
i feel huntress can get a good time
Nice
The stars alligned for this perfect run.
yeah i guess so
The seed just reset!
TIL that you can actually do Void Fields in Trials
The time keeps ticking over, but...
That's apparently a thing. lol
well that St0nKs that it wasn’t as expected
I don't know why you can do void fields on a trial. lol
wait what
Gotta get that red... and add 10 minutes to your time.
ohh
huhu
it's not practical to pull the void reavers off the edge, they have to be very close to the edge to actually go off since they're too heavy. the strat i use is consistent and easy do
that was fast
no i'm late the new trial came out 2 hours ago
#143
I have the video up but my xbox clips are being dumb rn
Dose anyone know how experience gained per monster, barrel, and money is calculated?
for some reason i can't see names of players on the ranking
I still find it funny how you can even head to the Void Fields in the prismatic trial
3:26 to 4:10
I am a prismatic trial
heloo i am having trouble tryna find prismatic trials
Main menu —> Alternate Game Modes —> Prismatic Trials
also how do u land the combo where u dont take damage w the r ability
on the crystals
Triples slice to expose, whirlwind, eviscerate
whirlwind then eviscerate?
Or triple slice, eviscerate, and then whirlwind right after
i j accidentally unlocked the alternate shift tryin too hard lmao
i found that j the combo of alt shift + eviscerate does the job too j rn
is default shift better tho
?
its only audio for some reason lol
i did but i dont get it lol
yea u do more damage on em
Yeah so he does the eviscerate as the 3rd swing goes off
ohhh its a frame thing
Yeah
ima try
so whirlwinding carrys the expose? then eviscerate?
w the alternate shift i was sooooo close to finishing it
it help a lot
Idk what the alt shift does
Im on console. But if it gets rid of I frames then i would refrain from using it.
On ethereal
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
how
im raign
I still find it really strange how you're allowed to do void fields on Prismatic Trial

l e f r o g
what does the bj stand for
It's frog.obj, because it's an object in the game files, which is what obj stands for
.obj is a type of 3D file



@tardy remnant I think it's a crash gif? Hard to tell on mobile.
Yeah we got it 
H



how long do trials last
Hum, don't know where to post it. I have done the prismatic trials today (at the time I speak I am currently doing it). There are no ennemies.
i literally was about to say the same thing, this was my first time trying a trial, and i was very confused and paranoid lol
Yeah it's pretty much just a race to the teleporter and then you wait for 5 minutes
||Good time for merc, eh||
lol yeah i'll take the free ability lol
mine has enemies so idk
is this a timezone thing
is there a way to see top ten times
oh, I thought that was a weird console issue, but no they actually broke trials in a bug fix update LMAO
oh wait, this isn't purely trials, dissonance is actually just busted
what happened to dissonance?
its a free trial
aka you dont have to worry about enemies since they dont spawn
which means its a free ethereal
oof i just spent so long getting it like 2 days ago
is dissonance broken with this patch then or is it just the trial?
disso as a whole
@cyan stratus I don't even think you need to make a video this trial (but why not right?)
Its free thanks to the Dissonance bug that makes enemies not spawn.
make a serious video but intentionally take damage from falling
what happened
try new trial
This is the best trial for mercenary ethereal
If you get heretic in prismatic trial on the score board it will still display it as whoever you started with
The current one apears to have no enemie spawns
Has cabbage posted a guide to this one yet
I am happy I happened to look in here fucking easy ethereal
Can't believe I just decided to do prismatic today out of the blue. I never do prismatic trials but here I am with ethereal finally
I wanted too but I need cabbage's guidance!
what do you need a guide for there's literally no danger
I NEED AN ADULT
I am an adult
I'm so glad I checked, thanks guys
have the stars aligned?
is today a good day for etheral?
@rare torrent Mobs literally don't spawn so free ether.
Only on PC?
Or are they the same for all things?
Only one way to find out
I'm so glad I checked the discord today. I now have 112 achievements now that I finally have Ethereal.

yeah
Easy samurai-dude's achieve farm 
lmao, true, but i've already his perk ahah
trying to do a nice score with the loader then, 391th for today, will retry today
what happened to the prismatic why are there no enemies
dissonance machnie 🅱️roke
RIP to ez ethereal trial
will o wisp is better than guillotine but i hate the new command menu and can't find anything anymore
Does anyone know if the top time with commado is real?
seems sus
he has gorags so i guess it could be possible, i just dont know how
oh, you're the huntress
yeah i just got a 1:31 after multiple attempts but i cant seem to beat him
are you going for the respawn manip to the TP?
No actually??
you can go from lower crystal to lower ledge of far island
I can't be bothered with these new nade physics :/
what items do you pick up during the run??
Two energy drinks + will o' the wisp
i only get one grey on my route :(
do you think the new commado run is legit?
lol
:o i got second
i haven't done prismatic trials much lol
i get red whip + meteorite in my run
Is this seed good for the ethereal challenge?
theres a lot of wisps that can be annoying but I was playing huntress
Na I can't deal with wisps I'll wait for the next seed
I swear this has to be the hardest charetor challenge in the game
*character
I could care less about ranking. Wisps are just the enemy I struggle with the most
Today's seed is perfect for the Mercenary: Ethereal challenge guys !
Yes ! I just got it after only 2 tries
Even with the wisps? Also I have console artifacts
The way to deal with the wisps, in this challenge, is to get a white item and get the Topaz brooch so whenever you kill you get quite a lot of shield (remember you cant fall from 100% health but you can use shields and drop from em' )
hmm , if there's the command artifact and the glass cannon one I say you are fine :p
also for the green if you want go for the bracelets so you can fast kill the bosses
green
I don't have the bracelets yet
Fastest time so far
i accidentally played prismatic trials with mods
thinking it was eclipse
and got fastest time
because it was 1 second coz cheats (testing)
oof
has anyone been able to beat ether challenges for this one on switch
where was this when the trial had dissonance I needed this!
so are there 4 cheaters rn?
theres the 1 and 5 second time, a 42 by a merc and a 1:10 on engi
1:10 engi should be possible this trial if you grind rng
i did a couple engi runs earlier and equipment is good
ohhhhh
that seems annoying to do lol
but maybe could be fun idk
is the rng set based on survivor or is there other stuff
no just equipment from enigma is different per survivor
Ok ive been playing RoR2 for a while now and i've unlocked the majority of the skills for each character... but how in the world do you complete a prismatic trial with mercenary without taking any damage?
trials with the glass artifact make it a lot easier
its mostly just kill the wisps before they shoot you and also get topaz
cabbage makes ethereal challenge guides btw
he posted it above
i didnt realize frailty was on so I just jumped off a cliff and died
well sheet. he makes that look so damn easy
lol
cabbage is the item routing just red whip + meteorite still?
do lower quality settings change the tree hitboxes?
i got a 1:44 on engi
i wanna get my top 5 back tho
oh cabbage wat
too fast
wait i can't even see first place rn
well i cant even get past first level with mercenary. wisps just spawn immediately and just 1 shot me.
dashing through them will usually make the ones you dont hit die
also gasoline, wisp, ukulele can help with the wisps
gasoline! why didnt i think of that
I keep getting so far then dying 😢

i wanna know the routing of the 108 huntress lol
is this a good trial to do the mercenary no damage achievement?
it has glass, so easier than usual
damn i hate whisps

I have been trying every trial since the game had its 1.0 release to get Etherial and I frankly don’t even like slicing winds all that much, I’m just sick of my steam account pointing it out to me all the time that I still don’t have that achievement
How much time are you putting into these trials?
This was the trial that was finally easy enough to let my poo brain cross off that achievement! 
i forgot i cant get hit for the mercs unlock XD i just BARELY managed to beat it but now ive gotta do it again

Got the funny number on my first try

Any tips to unlock alt special on merc?
I'm always getting hit by thoose wisps qq
watch cabbage vids if you're on pc or wait for trial without wisps (artifact of kin)/with glass artifact
Hi everyone,
I'm at 111 successes out of 112 and to finish on a high note, I've kept the worst challenge in the game: the mercenary challenge. I'm following a route pointed out by a nice streamer on youtube and it seems to be working since, after many attempts, I've finished twice. But without the achievement unlocking. It does indeed say that I took damage but I'm 99% sure I didn't drop below the topaz pin bar. The damage did not normally affect my health. Is this normal? Is there any way to check if it was my health bar that was affected?
In one case I took 30 points of damage so maybe it went down without me seeing it but in the other game I had only taken 9 points of damage. And I really felt like it was only my gold bar that was affected.
if it's possible you could try recording your run and then wathcing the replay perhaps?
Yes, why not. We can recording with Stream ?
i honestly have no idea, I personally use shadowplay
OK, I will find. Thx 🙂
The april 9th trial was stupid eazy
is this one still active today
yes they last 3 days so it's from 12th to 15th
Anyone got any recommendations on doing this trial no damage for the merc loadout? I tried for about 30 minutes and wanted to start pulling my hair out lol. Wisps driving me crazy.
Watch Cabbage’s guide
+ 
Lets you tank so many wisps


im trying to do the no damage challenge with merc what items should i pick up
never done these looking to unlock my scythe lfg or advice
Never mind i got it lol
@unborn mountain just run the trial multiple times to learn the spawns of items + artifact of kin is the best mod for it
Does anyone know when the next prismatic trial is?
did they patch dissonance yet?
Not yet
I just completed it by getting a topaz brooch, a repulsion armor plating and a wax quail and just making sure to always kill wisps to have barrier
rip trial lol
the route might be interesting i guess
a lotta waiting tho
also free ethereal achievement
my friend just got no enemys to spawn and he got the achievement first try
maybe this is finally a good difficulty level so that people won't complain about ethereal
lol
zzz
using the crystals to bounce yourself could be interesting tho
i wonder if its worth the rerolls to get double purity
probably
the trial seemed like it could've had cool routing with the glass and atg
:(
wait im dumb
damage items work on crystals too
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not fall asleep
dissonance removes enemy spawns on this patch, which warrants a hotfix but updates for this game are released in batches so trials with dissonance will be free for a long time
an optimal run of this trial requires 1029 lunar coins per attempt
U weren’t joking... just saw the vid
lol that one was super tough
that sure is one of the prismatic trials i've seen
perhaps one of the prismatic trials ever
My ethereal run was with artifact of glass. I picked up a ocular hud and just burst the first boss. Second stage had a brooch printer near the spawn point
All in all was fairly ez
Spent sometime on the first stage cause of wisps till i found a drone to take care of them for me
dissonance machine 🅱️roke
U have no excuse now.

yo free trial for three days
play now for a permanent free trial of cutting breeze
this trial is free right?
yeah
another test subject
now this looks really sad
what have i done
wait i have another one on the top of the building
the fuck nothing is spawning?
should i be concerned?
artifact of dissonance moment
most entertaining @cyan stratus video to date
dude this trial was so hard
i don't even know where i would've started without this video

this trial is easy since all you have to do is not fall asleep
dissonance removes enemy spawns on this patch, which warrants a hotfix but updates for this game are released in batches so trials with dissonance will be free for a long time
yea but that run doesn't use lunar coins
2^10 - 1 + (3*2) for rerolls and focused convergence
i ran this on one of my speedrun profiles, i'm too poor to afford this on my main profile
aw thanks Cabbage I wouldn't of gotten this one without you
Should point out
You can also unlock Huntress: Piercing Wind and Engineer: Zero Sum for free with this trial if you haven't already. I don't play either survivor much and already did Ethereal legitimately so unlocked those relatively guilt-free 😏
Though with Zero Sum you have to run around and kill all the crystals on the map first
Lol why are there no monsters
dissonance artifact is bugged
Wrong link my bad
no worries
Yay I can get my achievement for free
sub 3:45 possible maybe
yes
i didnt tested
but i think it might be possible, im going to the gym now i'll try later
So happy to finally get the stuff
the prismatic trial pisses me, off i sweated my balls off to get the achievement then there are these idiots with a free prismatic trial
Just feel accomplished knowing you're a cool dude
they should make ethereal unlock expire every 3 days so everyone has to do it for every trial
only you would ever have that ability
incredibly based
people with exploits would just be premium users of slicing winds
Man i did this legitmately like a month ago
Feel proud about it
I’m not mad, just disappointed
Ya know
I don't play merc enough to effort for sw
But at some point perhaps I'll try the challenge legit. Never saw the skill before so prime time
I really don't think i or anyone else would enjoy unlocking it every three days
maybe after a number of trials done perfectly you would get it?
Or set Ethereal and other no damage runs (which we could add more for some actual unlocks instead of just two) under a different type of game mode?
i do feel like the requirement for ethereal would have been better suited to, say, a legendary item that more than one character would use
no
It is good you just dont know how to use it lol
monkey logic moment
i know how to use it, it's still just not good
anybody know if you can unlock the TC on this prismatic trial?
Apperently you dont, its dmg output is way better than eviscerate and gives you the ability weave in and out of combat
Eviscerate is just i frames
And you still have I frames eith your dssh
i literally could not care less about the high damage argument
how about Expose™️
You can expose chain enemies
Sw has:
Better dps
Better aoe
Better expose procs
Takes less time to use so more easy to combo with
Evis has:
More mobility
I-frames
Definitely a choice, but in no way is either directly inferior especially sw
^
Oh yeah evis technically has attack speed scaling also but I’m pretty sure you’d have more dps using other abilities with that same attack speed
Attack speed scaling is very overrated
You gotta remember evis is only 100% dmg
Per hit
It aint gonna insta oneshot the map with proc chains
extremely low
Yeah its not much dmg
Like if an ability had attack speed scaling with good dmg then it would be really good
But both commando and mercs special have 100%
huh, just did the merc thing, nothing spawned in the primsatic trial
artifact of dissonance is currently bugged as it breaks enemy spawns
the devs know and will be patched in the next round of bugfixes
Woolie moment
What
extremely low
Extremely low
Extremely low
damn bro this prismatic is hella difficult amirite
how many times have you heard this joke
Not enough times to want people unironically saying that ethreal is a stupid achievement again
At least more people can get ethereal
Free Mercenary ability
Truth

Sacrifice is probably one of the worst artifacts to get
Very boring but it gets the job done
Not my favorite
how do you activate prismatic
Prismatic trials?
ye
@burnt thicket Go to "Alternate Game Modes" in the main menu.
do i have to beat the gameto access that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5GZYBAn9bY late sorry
gunner turret makes 1st stage free, but if you want to do the 2nd stage how i did it you need fuel cell from the 3rd sacrifice drop. otherwise you can camp the mountain on stage 2 and spam preon off cooldown
sorry i'm late for this trial, thought today was yesterday and trial would reset tomorrow but tomorrow is actually today
when the mercenary hits
#146
Does your screen just stop for a sec when applying expose with merc’s primary?
Doesnt even apply the debuff sometimes and screws up the crystals

OH GOD


Cebbeg
freog


sorry about the lagspike at the start of the 2nd boss. my computer didn't like this trial for some reason
i changed the date in my titles since someone pointed it out to me. trials reset every 3 days at midnight GMT, i'll use GMT from now on so that people don't get confused
Gettin close to dat 150 
Y is merc ethereal so hard tho
Why is she eating a cabbage, I dont understand


haven't tried out this before, anything I should know?
If you’re just doing it for fun, then know that the TP fully charges once you kill the boss, and you always start with a bit of money. If you’re doing it for Mercenary: Ethereal, watch the cabbage vids and wait for a good seed
got it
another thing is the the items from chests are always the same every time you do the run
so if you'd want to speedrun or something you can optimize it
Because the person who made that Ethereal video is named cabbage
