look it up 🤷

frigid marsh
#

If I go to bulwarks ambry does it count as the second stage? Or will it just send me to sirens call afterwards?

zenith plinth
#

it counts

I'm use to capital LV

frozen slate
#

i refuse to use capitals

#

unless i feel like it

keen grove
#

do you get more polygons on level up?

frozen slate
#

no

#

i simply stay at lv6 because i want to

keen grove
#

what would happen if you were to level up?

frozen slate
#

if i unlocked all of my restraints the universe would crash since i hit the integer limit

#

whats the routing???

#

im using loader and im 33rd rn

#

is the merc strat optimal??

zenith plinth
#

Pinned

amber smelt
#

is that optimal?

zenith plinth
#

unless u mean routing for capt

amber smelt
#

is capt route faster

zenith plinth
#

probs not

amber smelt
#

damn'

#

do u know whos #1

#

im in 33rd and the person in 26th got 2:38 s with mul t

#

so theres gotta be some wacky shit going on

solemn fiber
#

people cheat

amber smelt
#

how

solemn fiber
#

every trial people cheat

amber smelt
#

with mods?

solemn fiber
#

mods that don't use bepinex, which auto-block prismatic trials usage
and cheatengine

#

so unless you're fast enough on a fast trial you'll never get #1

amber smelt
#

laame

Diablo strike

Totally legit time very real

Even just activating each teleporter takes longer than that

#

no, thhey just grabbed the pauls goat hoof probably. makes u move faster.

#

also @rapid heart thx, i got 2:26 with it

#

i fucked it up and missed the first diablo strike thats why the times so shitty

amber smelt
#

@rapid heart im confused asf i did it right and i hit the probe with diablo the first time but even with the crowbar it tanked it with like over half hp left

fierce geyser
#

you prob hit it with the edge of the diablo blast, the diablo explosion has sweetspot falloff so anything past half the radius deals 1/4 damage

amber smelt
#

oh damn, ok

#

wait how are you even supposed to hit the softspot

#

he always moves out for me

#

lets goooo

#

is there a faster merc strat or are the mercs in top 10 modding

I really wanna speedrun it but I don’t have time to 😔

#

Double beetles. I swear if yall mofos complain about Ethereal being impossible to get even after this

zenith plinth
#

lmao

scenic surge
#

ethereal difficulty is over exaggerated, but nonetheless it’s still the hardest achievement in the game

double Beatles? wow that sounds awesome

#

I have officially given up, I can't do this anymore, I have spent too much time on this damn unlock with no success.

#

I mean 99% is not bad.

fierce geyser
#

wait isnt it like pretty easy this trial

junior grotto
#

I don't know and honestly i don't think i have the sanity to try

#

ok i'll try

#

just this once

ruby hollow
#

It’s only beetles, just don’t get headbonked

junior grotto
#

oh

#

A good seed for once?

ruby hollow
#

Yeah

junior grotto
#

Are you messing with me?

ruby hollow
#

Nope, check pins for cabbage’s run

junior grotto
#

Well

#

I did it

#

That was the least fun achivement i have ever had the desplesure of unlocking

amber smelt
#

thats not optimal

#

thats for ethereal

ruby hollow
#

Ethereal is what 96% of people care about though

amber smelt
#

idgaf about it

#

i want to score

#

ok

amber smelt
#

@spice laurel thx

amber smelt
#

i think to get sub 1:00 u need to place the tunnel lower

#

so you dont have to wait to touch the ground

#

probably not gonna shave 2 seconds though

#

not sure if this is the right channel but is there plans for a mac port at all?

ask in game questions lmao

or tech support

#

It took me quite a few hours, but I finally got the Ethereal achievement last night. I spent so many lunars, but it was worth every one. Thanks for the tips yesterday.

zenith plinth
#

why exactly did you have to spend lunate

steel timber
#

Maybe he couldnt finish first stage fast enough

#

Probably went through blue

#

Picked up visions (maybe had to reroll) and maybe switch stages

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy7SppUspQs late video since i'm not home but at least i was able to record something

i'm uploading this from a different setup, so sorry about the decrease in video / gameplay quality. i realized too late i was recording in 30fps, but hopefully it should still be watchable

the brooch doesn't really do anything, but since i had enough money i bought it anyway. it might be better to just go to the teleporter so less lemurians spa...

are you blocking a spawn on stage 2?

Thx

#

Do prismatic trials have a different seed of items and bosses from pc to console?

humble cairn
#

i fucking did it

#

after almost breaking my desk i finally beat a prismatic trial

#

all it took was some drugs

#

and loader

dire steeple

#

Need to get the ethereal achievement but this seed feels awful for merc

steel timber
#

Ill check it out

steel timber
#

Its definitely doable but the greater wisp spawn is pretty meh

#

There is a topaz brooch inside a utility chest and a kjaro’s inside a large chest near a muti shop

#

Is it just me or does the Mercenary: Ethereal unlock feel way harder than literally all the other characters unlocks? I'm trying to help a friend get it because they don't do the trials and I just spent a good 2 and half hours attempting it and still didn't get it

#

And I've done it before, I have the unlock on my own account, it still feels like an exponentially harder challenge when compared to the other characters and even his other unlocks

spice laurel
#

ethereal is one of if not the most hardest unlock in the game

earnest root
#

Yeah I agree though it's interesting how it's only the 8th rarest achievement

vague karma
earnest root
ruby hollow
#

Yeah, every achievement added in the anniversary update beside Mercenary: Flash of Blades and Bandit: Classic Man have lower achive rates because they’re new

#

is it almost time for me to get mercs skill or is this p trial hard as hail

summer thorn
#

When is the next prism trial and what its difficulty going to be?

steel timber
#

Thats for future decide

zenith yoke
#

using topaz brooches dont count as health so if command is on use those

slim wind
#

any tips for doing the Ethereal challenge today? Specifically killing the Clay Shitpot without getting damaged

#

unless the tip is "wait until tomorrow"

ruby hollow
#

Check pins for the cabbage video

slim wind
#

oooh thanks!

ruby hollow
#

He does one every trial so if this one is too hard you can check back next trial for the new video

storm vault
#

wow that vid is wild

ruby hollow
#

I know right, I have no idea how he does it every trial (unless there’s some dumb artifact and enemy combos)

#

In recent memory there was one trial he was like “nah don’t do this one it sucks”

slim wind
#

he makes it look too easy 😄 I think I give up for today

gleaming phoenix
zenith plinth
#

I did too, by watching a cabbage vid

bleak crystal
#

acridgaming

amber smelt
#

if it feels like working i think mul t is optimal because he can get meteors after using gnarled woodsprite

#

but the loadout is fucky and gives you other stuff sometimes

#

u have to run sawblade nailgun, other stuff might work

Shield doesn’t save you from going below 100% health, but barrier does

this trial seems pretty dumb for speedrunning

lusty cove
#

Is prismatic trial the same across all playforms like do switch and pc have the same one

ruby hollow

Not switch because it doesn’t have the anniversary update yet, don’t know about other consoles either though

#

@spice laurel how do you break the crystals without killing urself?

Or slicing winds/eviscerate

Folks, if you don't have Merc's alt special today is the day to get it. It is basically free.

Guys I need help, my prismatic trial is different from what it was supposed to be this week.

its every 3 days.

so today changed?

it changed today, yes.

cyan stratus
#

oops i forgot lol

thought it was tomorrow for some reason

stone turret
wheat musk
#

the last few trials have been pretty easy for ethereal imo

#

this one is harder because of lesser wisps but gunner turrets help a lot

upbeat ether
#

Lesser wisps +overloading = pain

drowsy vine
#

This trial was the easiest for Ethereal! Idk if the seed is world wide and console included, but you literally AFK farm (make sure to take care of elites though) on the top of siren’s head for 15 minutes until you get alien head using three turrets, then scrap some common items (I scrapped 5, make sure to not scrap topaz brochure and regenerate shields) into a scrapper near two adjacent turrets, and when you’re in distant roost, you’d have an advantage that turrets kills all wrists, then right below the spawn two platforms down, there is a topaz brochure printer, 6 of them together gives like 3rd of the health when killing a wasp and then you just go to portal while having full bar temporary shield and that should be it.

Before alien head is dropped on first stage, there will be dropped jaded elephant, so this could help in the was horde boss on distant roost when too many wisps will be shooting.

#

Overall, it took me 5 tries, and it was 22 minutes on the last successful round.

is the current prismatic trials bugged? this is my third run and there's always a lesser wisp stuck in the place i cannot reach

i can't do prismatic trial

#

did i miss it?

#

Nah u should be able too?

#

Try just restarting

zenith plinth
#

is the new prismatic trial seed universal?

solemn fiber
#

no

#

console is still different to pc

zenith plinth
#

darn

#

i was trying to use the newt portal on the first stage of the trial to get into the bazaar and dream into titanic plains or something but it doesnt work on pc

#

which is weird because i saw a console stream where they did it and it worked

#

the pc seed is universal for all pcs though, right?

ruby hollow
ember birch
#

ah makes sense

#

i think i can't do it because i have betterui or something

mfw cant do prismatic trial with my among us commando mod

Today’s prismatic trial is really good for people who want to get the achievement with mercenary on PS4

#

I just managed to get it and I have barely played mercenary before

tame knot
#

Whats the achievement youre referring to?

ruby hollow
#

Considering it’s in this channel and the mention of merc, Mercenary: Ethereal

tame knot
#

Idk what you need to do for it hut gotcha

As mercenary, complete a prismatic trial without falling below 100% health (barrier is fine, shield isn’t)

help prismatic trials have brought up my MUL-T playrate by like 1000 in the past month

spice laurel

personally I look at wins on that survivor, playrates don't matter to me lol

wheat musk
#

prismatic trials kinda screw over both

spice laurel
#

gamemode wins don't count towards the "total wins"

wheat musk
#

ah I see

#

I only have 412 wins

#

according to the thing

#

I feel like I should have more unless obliteration doesn't count

#

like obliteration wins from pre-1.0

#

because why would you obliterate over mithrix post-1.0

spice laurel
#

obliterations count as obliterations, its not a win nor a loss.

The strategy that is easy for stage 1 seems to ne break the crystal right by spawn, drop down to the crystal that is right below spawn on the shipping crates and take a preon accumulator from the orange item thing, then break the crystal in the way to the teleporter from there and 1 shot the imps from the teleporter event with a good shot from the preon
The rest of the teleporter event is easy enough to survive using eviscerate

native niche
#

PC prismatic is pretty easy to get ethereal on, nice.

Forgive me please with 3 or so brooches and 1-2 fuel cells and maybe a willowisp makes stage 2 very very safe

#

just grab a bunch of stuff from stage 1 until you feel safe, the more brooches the safer

sour rapids
#

does anyone know how to do this thing nohit on merc

#

i got a strategy for stage 1

#

i did it successfully too

icy urchin
#

just read the comments above mate

sour rapids
#

ok

#

i use the cube thingy and focused assault with crowbars

it kinda destroys the bosses lol

how in the heck does the dude in the video do it

#

i do the same thing but i cant get past the second crystal without 50 million wisps and lemurians spawning and damaging me instantly

#

dude 100% has some sort of mods on

icy urchin
#

skill issue

#

are you going at the same speed as him or are you taking your time?

restive acorn
#

same speed

#

keep getting to the second crystal and as soon as i get there like 10 wisps spawn and hit me instantly

#

question, why does he swing his sword twice constantly?

#

does that give a damage boost for the next skill?

twilit pendant
#

No it lets him mark enemies

#

The third his office merc’e primary marks enemies and marked enemies take more damage

restive acorn
#

he makes it look so easy and effortless

twilit pendant
#

And if you hit a marked enemy your cooldowns will be reduced by 1 second

He’s being doing this for like 180 days after all

yea no wonder i suck at it, i got this game like a month or 2 ago

If you don’t like playing Merc that much

how many days until each one resets

Idk

restive acorn

should i just play normal runs or eclipse to get better with merc

I’d recommend normal runs

just wait a day

also check the pins

#

You can grab a preon from ontop of the mountain on the first level, or you can get a primordial cube right next to TP to help bunch up / kill the imps pretty easily

#

As for the annoying ass crabs, just bundle them up or hunt down the ones up top first

as far as i could tell there aren't many other useful items on stage 1 except for some crowbars. lv2 makes the first boss easier but if you're still having trouble, try getting lv3. pay attention to which mushrooms are shooting when and which ones are about to go heal, the only way you can interrupt the heal is by dashing through them. save dash...

Yeah baybe

I wish I was good enough to aim Nano-Bomb at the crystals

zenith plinth
#

use lodr to do prism trials

granite pagoda
#

all lodr does is swing fists around

#

Arti can do more

zenith plinth
#

um

#

loader is the fastest survivor lol

#

the m2 grapples

#

the shift does massive damage and shoots you really far

#

i got in the top 30s with loader, twice

granite pagoda
#

Hold on

#

I have to show you what i did here

#

I'm up in the air as Arti right?

zenith plinth
#

mkay

#

arti isnt fast tho thats the only thing

granite pagoda
#

I shoot my flame bolts at one, then spear at another

#

then flame bolt recharges and I shoot at the last one

zenith plinth
#

acutally huntress is fast on abandoned aqueduct with the harpoon thingy with a glitch

granite pagoda
#

Then land and activate the teleporter with a crowbar i picked up

zenith plinth
#

ok

#

thats good strat

#

but LODR fast,and you can kjaroswith a kjaros

granite pagoda
#

There is one of the bands somewhere i think

zenith plinth
#

yeah ik

#

thats why i said

#

with the band, lodr can decimate all the musriosms

#

i gave up on this trial because the musroumes are annoying

granite pagoda
#

Flame bolt the one on the left, then spear the right and bolt the middle, then land

zenith plinth
#

thats good strat

granite pagoda
#

Takes like 6 seconds

zenith plinth
#

id get up there as huntress and then harpoon the three of them

#

thats prolly even faster

#

ima try that in a bit

granite pagoda
#

Maybe

zenith plinth
#

ill update you lol

granite pagoda
#

But what I want to do is get rid of spear and use bomb instead, but that's hard to aim

zenith plinth
#

i could prolly do it

granite pagoda
#

With bomb I get a ton more dps

zenith plinth
#

just try a few times and get the distance right

#

also spear does more damage and is straighter so?

granite pagoda
#

Spear does less

zenith plinth
#

wait

granite pagoda
#

1200% vs %2000 and aoe

zenith plinth
#

ok ur right

#

but the spear one shots the crystal tho right?

granite pagoda
#

Yeah

zenith plinth
#

so why does it matter

#

the cooldown is the same

granite pagoda
#

Mushrooms

zenith plinth
#

ohh

granite pagoda
#

Faster killing

zenith plinth
#

yeah

granite pagoda
#

I had a time where I got to 2nd stage with 20 seconds to 2 minutes, but I messed up my ion surge and died

zenith plinth
#

aw no

granite pagoda
#

Did you do the Huntress thingy yet?

scenic surge
#

huntress does not enough dps this trial

#

loader with band can take out some mushrooms one hit each, still pretty slow

#

arti seems like their damage would be good, but simply walking takes about as long as finishing the loader trial as loader

zenith plinth
#

i did, its not very good

#

idk how get fast time on this trial

tough belfry
#

if it's limited by dps then rex?

scenic surge
#

Rex is pretty good but loader speed is still probably better

#

loader can use the band

restive acorn
#

is there a new trial?

#

is there artifact of glass

#

back in my day we just reset manually but there's some console commands people use nowadays to reset like 5 times per second

zenith plinth
#

honeslty what im wondering is what the command is

#

i didnt know you could use debug toolkit until then

#

also why do people speedrun in 1.0 and not 1.1

cyan stratus
#

you can't use mods in speedruns but people run on 1.0.0.6 since there's no mithrix invincibility

zenith plinth
#

ah that makes sense

#

so how do you do console commands without the toolkit

#

or should i just look it up lol

cyan stratus
#

you just open console with ctrl alt ` or w/e the thing is

#

i have this command in a text file but idk if it works

zenith plinth
#

mkay

cyan stratus
#

there's run_end

#

and i think pregame_start_run

#

but honestly you could just go look up a speedrun and see what they spam 50 times at the start before the actual run

zenith plinth
#

yeah it goes so fast im like wtf i cant read that

cyan stratus
#

you can pause or reduce speed

zenith plinth
#

lemme look at xenons speedrun

cyan stratus
#

then type the command put it in a file somewhere to save it

zenith plinth
#

i thought they copied and pasted the command

#

its so low quality 😭

cyan stratus
#

run_end; transition_command "transition_command pregame_start_run"

zenith plinth
#

damn

cyan stratus
#

there's also a reset script for blue orb i made like a year ago which could probably be edited with that command

zenith plinth
#

right when i started trying speedruns, i realized that waititng for the blue orb would be a lot easier than going for the altar

#

so im stuck on an endless loop of restarting

cyan stratus
#

yeah speedrunning is pretty fun until you just sit there resetting for 30 minutes for 1 run

zenith plinth
#

yeah lol i found that out quick

cyan stratus
#

i stopped running b/c i thought it was just a bunch of rng and no real skill but now people are doing a bunch of weird grapple things so there's definitely more skill involved than i thought

zenith plinth
#

i started speedrunning this game because i looked at the last people on the leaderboard doing runs and i thought "shit i could do better than 18 fucking minutes with 843297590428 time losses"

cyan stratus
#

yeah sub 9 for any% is a good goal i think

zenith plinth
#

yeah

cyan stratus
#

you don't need blue orb farm scripts for that though

zenith plinth
#

xenons most recent run makes me shit my pants the rng is so lucky

zenith plinth
cyan stratus
#

yeah i saw some sub 8 runs never thought people would do it but it's pretty cool how low the times have gotten

zenith plinth

it just keeps getting lower

#

honestly i kinda wanna see a seeded run category

cyan stratus
#

i thought my 8:23 was good back in the day lol

zenith plinth
#

haha

cyan stratus
#

seeded runs are prismatic trials

zenith plinth
#

well yeah, but i mean like someone finds an insane seed and with that its completely reliant on skill

#

like minecraft seeded runs

cyan stratus
#

i mean we used to do that with prismatic trials

zenith plinth
#

but yeah prismatic trials too lol

#

i remeber during a prismatic trial, i got a faster time than you, and then i realized that was your merc time and i felt slightly sad

cyan stratus

yeah i don't run trials without glass anymore

lo

2nd stage is just beetles so it's a free stage

Should i just rush the portal

Up to you by you can get chests and stuff for items

It's the risk for the reward, but you'll never know if it's worth it

crude folio

Yeah the glass is really whats getting me i keep getting one shot

cunning meteor
#

?

#

it uses artifact of sacrifice, so there's no chests

manic wave
#

Oh ok

#

So just farm enemies for items but keep an eye on the time

cunning meteor
#

artifact of command, so you need to clear the area first before grabbing the item

I haven't looked at the trials yet so idk the artifacts

you dont need items for this trial with glass artifact

Teddy bears could help

just get gasoline

For chance to ignore damage

teddy bears aren't the best for prismatic trials

oh ok

ok i just looked it up and if you get 255 you can have a 97.5% chance to block

pretty much invincible

tbh though i don’t know how that would help in a prismatic run

even in a standard run with Command you're unlikely to get 255 Tougher_Times

it takes a bit of time getting used to sw

it comes down to playstyle, which you prefer

#

default gives mobility + iframes, sw gives more dmg and range + some minor aoe (it can hit up to 3 targets)

It definitely is worth getting though it exposes enemies and gives you a ranged attack

I'm having some problems finding the teleporter in stage 2 of the current trial too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgn7mxZtTWM randomly fluked this 1st try

i didn't bother coming up with an actual strategy for this trial since there's sacrifice, i just did the hit and run with iframes strategy until everything eventually died. it takes longer but there isn't really any danger of getting hit since there aren't wisps. if you want, you can check sacrifice drops to see if you can farm for something use...

how do you move like that. I've been trying to replicate the ethereal video for 2hrs and there's literally a time gap within the first hack jump never mind the fact that if I hit the right rock/angle I get half the height in a quarter of the time. You launch with between 5 and 4 seconds left on blinding assault and when I do that I'm needing it in 1 second to finish making the gap in the air to the first crystal.

i just completed this prismatic trial and i am rank 171 but i didnt get the achievement

#

nor did the scythe unlock

#

what am i supposed to do now?

pearl sky
#

Yeah I experimented a bit before and after I started trying to replicate the vod. Different timings just make spawns a bit weird when/where wisps will appear. Worst case they spawn mid chest and then it'd be time for the next run. E.g the seconds in difference I was getting put the 2nd wisp spawn right on the 2nd chest grab. The time difference continued to spiral as I ended up with 1 attempt going to stage 2 last night after hitting the teleporter at around 3:30 vs 2:44. I'll put more attempts in later but definitely the longest I've spent on a character ability unlock. Tldr I'm bad a mercenary.

The large stone slabs circling the primordial teleporter, interact with them so “the teleporter aligns with the planet” then you beat the TP and get taken back to stage 1
