If I go to bulwarks ambry does it count as the second stage? Or will it just send me to sirens call afterwards?
it counts
how many hours does cabbage have?
cabbage amounts
I'm use to capital LV
do you get more polygons on level up?
what would happen if you were to level up?
if i unlocked all of my restraints the universe would crash since i hit the integer limit
2,147,483,647
but yeah to answer your question a lot
1,352.4
nice
Rank 43
Pinned
is that optimal?
unless u mean routing for capt
is capt route faster
probs not
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
people cheat
how
every trial people cheat
with mods?
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
laame
This is the current top of the leaderboard
whats ur cap routing?

Got knocked away by a meteor so I didn't beat my PB of 1:24.31
Howd the awu die so fast?
Diablo strike
That looked clean
4 seconds
Totally legit time very real
Even just activating each teleporter takes longer than that
nah man its totally legit he just has a good gaming chair
Heâs not even trying to hide it
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
@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
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
oh damn, ok
wait how are you even supposed to hit the softspot
he always moves out for me
lets goooo
1:43
aim ahead
is there a faster merc strat or are the mercs in top 10 modding
Where am i
I'm not sure the Mercs are legit
probably not, unless theres some weird ass movement tech




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhWDGBypnJY double beetle trial
the brooch isn't necessary but provides protection from a stray fire trail or bomb, and it isn't that far out of the way so i decided to grab it anyways
@indigo snow
This man is crazy
indeed he really is
Ooh this is an easy trial
yeah this one is insanely easy
I really wanna speedrun it but I donât have time to đ
Double beetles. I swear if yall mofos complain about Ethereal being impossible to get even after this
lmao
ethereal difficulty is over exaggerated, but nonetheless itâs still the hardest achievement in the game
double Beatles? wow that sounds awesome
Beatles 
whet are engrish?
My friend says its no longer double beetles
To him stage 2 is brass contraptions?
PC*
probably getting to stage 2 later?
asdasdasdada
Yes, loader is optimal because S P E E D, but you can also use huntress and mercenary because of speed glitches
speed glitches?
not exactly, I mean like using the shot move to clip through walls, or using a glitch on merc where you can fly into the air
the brooch isn't necessary but provides protection from a stray fire trail or bomb, and it isn't that far out of the way so i decided to grab it anyways
Is this the same trial? I havenât checked for a bit
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.
wait isnt it like pretty easy this trial
I don't know and honestly i don't think i have the sanity to try
ok i'll try
just this once
Itâs only beetles, just donât get headbonked
Yeah
Are you messing with me?
Nope, check pins for cabbageâs run
Well
I did it
That was the least fun achivement i have ever had the desplesure of unlocking
Ethereal is what 96% of people care about though
ok
Damn this trial is ass on console
Wait what when I play the trial I always get brass contraptions on the second stage 
Ok nevermind it does seem to be a random chance to get either more beetles and brass contraptions
that grapple on stage 2 is really annoying
I tried with Acrid. Rank 100 
@spice laurel thx
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.
why exactly did you have to spend lunate
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...
need to have a role to embed
thunder gauntlet is the way... sadly.
are you blocking a spawn on stage 2?
Thx
Do prismatic trials have a different seed of items and bosses from pc to console?
i fucking did it
after almost breaking my desk i finally beat a prismatic trial
all it took was some drugs
and loader
Yeah
Ill check it out
Its definitely doable but the greater wisp spawn is pretty meh
There is a topaz brooch inside a utility chest and a kjaroâs inside a large chest near a muti shop
nah, just dealing with the lone imp first.
Why is it a negative number?
that was an edited image from more than a year ago
Oh sorry I just saw it in pins and was wondering I didnât realize it was from so long ago
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
ethereal is one of if not the most hardest unlock in the game
Yeah I agree though it's interesting how it's only the 8th rarest achievement
the "rarer" achievements were added in a recent update
ah that explains it. I started playing recently so I had no idea
Yeah, every achievement added in the anniversary update beside Mercenary: Flash of Blades and Bandit: Classic Man have lower achive rates because theyâre new
is it almost time for me to get mercs skill or is this p trial hard as hail
When is the next prism trial and what its difficulty going to be?
Thats for future decide
using topaz brooches dont count as health so if command is on use those
any tips for doing the Ethereal challenge today? Specifically killing the Clay Shitpot without getting damaged
unless the tip is "wait until tomorrow"
Check pins for the cabbage video
oooh thanks!
He does one every trial so if this one is too hard you can check back next trial for the new video
wow that vid is wild
I know right, I have no idea how he does it every trial (unless thereâs some dumb artifact and enemy combos)
In recent memory there was one trial he was like ânah donât do this one it sucksâ
he makes it look too easy đ I think I give up for today
it is easy 
i mean i got it first try
||when dissonance was bugged||
I did too, by watching a cabbage vid
acridgaming
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
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
if anyones trying to do mercenary's prismatic this week is veryyyy good
bruh
i did merc's run and i didnt get his ability cuz i took fall damage
anyway new merc main-
legitimately did have a lot of fun with merc on this week's trial lol
this trial will be the best way to do on second stage you can get a psg but its mostly just not taking damage another thing that helps is that everytime you do it it changes which enemy is actually around
Shield doesnât save you from going below 100% health, but barrier does
this trial seems pretty dumb for speedrunning
Is prismatic trial the same across all playforms like do switch and pc have the same one
Not switch because it doesnât have the anniversary update yet, donât know about other consoles either though

doesn't this mean it's a really good week for merc?
i finally have time!
Thank you so much for all these videos you do! they have helped me so much and i was finally able to get the achievement! you are a great person
np that's the reason i make them
Theyâre awfully similar and even sometimes identical but thereâs times where it varies
its been incredibly easy on the past like 5
@spice laurel how do you break the crystals without killing urself?
Depends who. Of you're a a loader with the leap, you're fucked, but as merc use your dash.
Or slicing winds/eviscerate
which ones are you confused about?
the first one
spawn protection protects them from damage
oh cool
Folks, if you don't have Merc's alt special today is the day to get it. It is basically free.
sub 2 minutes on mul t
this trial is so fast wtf
is top 25 just all huntress? im 37 atm

basically
@spice laurel how did you do that grappling hook trick
it was really stupid, you had to stand at a perfect distance to where it hits it but doesnt grapple youj
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.
the gunner turrets spawn somewhat randomly on stage 2. i got a pretty lucky formation which allowed me to afk but if you get a different spawn you might have to do things a bit differently
sorry i'm a bit late this trial. forgot the trial reset today and realized it like 5 hours late
I am by no means great at this game, but you've got about 50 hours, and you're probably never going to get a better crack at Mercenary's Ethereal achievement than right now. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1093557341?t=00h47m12s
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
Lesser wisps +overloading = pain
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 sirenâs 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 youâre in distant roost, youâd 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
Topaz Brochure đ
Ikkikkk
is the new prismatic trial seed universal?
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?
If you have mods on it wonât show up
mfw cant do prismatic trial with my among us commando mod
Check pins for cabbage vid
that's an old video
whaa
scroll up
ive been grinding for a good time all day trying to place high, think i did pretty well!
I agree
high is good
nice run, do you have a video?
yep! i cant upload it to youtube for some reason, its only a terabyte big :/
Stage 1 24hrs but it's a prismatic trial
63 hours
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
bruh prismatic trials suck I hated doing the first one for the scythe but my god they just are so unfun to do I'm sorry devs but I would maybe like to see a change to prismatic trials to make it so more ppl want to do them each time and they are actually fun

skill issue
no its just unfun
Like when you get overloading lesser wisps
ez clap
shame WR on this is prety RN tho :(
https://www.twitch.tv/hurkeldurk
Sacrifice is very annoying.
I forgot to show global leaderboard at the end, oh well
Sacrafice makes that orange drop chance stupid annoying
Yep
been taking a diffrent route but optamised (got shot pressing the 2nd button) was only a 1.13
Where that looks pretty pristine
I think i beat you (Maybe?) to fight starts but drop massively with the actual fight
Esp boss 2
yoo groove salad

Huntress is faster.
Todayâs 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
Whats the achievement youre referring to?
Considering itâs in this channel and the mention of merc, Mercenary: Ethereal
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 isnât)
@upbeat ether what strat do you use for mult
ill try to beat you lol
gl
Lmao wrong me
true
ca
yay #1 MUL-T (don't steal plz)
how did someone get a better time
i willl
proc goddess will take #1
you need to have a role to embed
how many people usually do the prismatic trial each time
maybe like 3k
lmao

other preon angles for the 2nd boss are probably better and can wipe out all of them without you having to fight one left over. you can get glass from the pod but i didn't want to spend any lunar coins
Mul-T/Captain meta 
yo so europe, plasma, firewaze and i have been in a vc
europe unfortunately didnt record but he got a mul-t run so fuckin legendary that he beat the chinese commando cheater
peter griffin
help prismatic trials have brought up my MUL-T playrate by like 1000 in the past month
personally I look at wins on that survivor, playrates don't matter to me lol
prismatic trials kinda screw over both
gamemode wins don't count towards the "total wins"
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
obliterations count as obliterations, its not a win nor a loss.
@wraith cipher I gotta ask -- How are you getting those Acrid runs so quick?!
I've been running trials for a while so I'm just very familiar with routing and character-specific movement
Does anyone have any tips for getting mercenarys 2nd special on the current prismatic trial
?
Ive been struggling with the equipment changing everytime i use it
Im on console so its different
About the trial
?
I wasent at my phone when you sent that message
@steel timber

I can try to help I'm on console
Let me try to get a hitless run with merc on it quick to help easier @mystic dagger
Ok
Which map does it start on just to make sure I'm on the same trial because I'm on ps4 and its rallypoint delta
Sirens call
Oh it seems like you're just on the last one for console then
what platform are you on
Xbox
ah makes sense
You said you've been struggling with the equipment changing but as far as I remember if you pick one up from an orange equipment thing you can keep that one with no changes after
?
Ahhh rip lol
I was thinking about last trial
So you're on the new rallypoint delta one then?
Yes
yeah
Ah nice this ones a little harder than the last one from my attempts
2 stages
what is the best survivor for prismatic trials
Load
@tulip jetty have you finished a hitless merc run
h o w
I got close the first stage is actually the most annoying part for this one
It is
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
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
does anyone know how to do this thing nohit on merc
i got a strategy for stage 1
i did it successfully too
just read the comments above mate
ok
i use the cube thingy and focused assault with crowbars
it kinda destroys the bosses lol
that's loader in general
are you serious
i just took fall damage on the second one
.....................................................
HELL YEAH I DID IT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


it's been done
Nice
the only difficulty in this trial is creating a civil war with the brass contraptions without getting hit by a stray bullet or wisp. i destroyed the extra crystal after the 1st boss since i wanted level 4 to make killing the last imps on stage 2 a bit easier, but it really isn't necessary




Prismatic trials has not changed

















Are the prismatic trials bugged for PS4 because I canât see the leaderboards
risk of rain 2 is bugged for ps4
also you have to complete a prismatic trial before you can see the leaderboard
Yeah I know that
you have to complete that prismatic trial
I completed it twice
oh then its a bug
Sadge
like the entire ror2 console



Best way to complete merc challenge in prismatic trials?
console?
PC lol
ok this guys videos
you can trimp with merc's m2?
yes
whats easy?
what? did nobody else finish the trial or something?
new trial
the hermit crab strat is a bit scuffed, but it's the best that i could come up with. you could also check if there's any useful items but this strat is easy enough, it just takes a bit longer
i'm sorry, what happens at the end there? do you like trick them into jumping to their deaths or something?
Wth is going on this is prismatic trials channel not hentai channel lol
new to the server, huh? every time cabbage posts an ethereal vid, vulfoof posts the anime girl eating cabbage meme and pings femboy shy.
How tf is that hentai đ¤
i'm just grouping them for preon, they're taking fall damage but doesn't really matter
oh ok
what does the number mean?
they post that clip every time cabbage posts a vid
what have people found so far for the route? preon + runalds behind stage2 spawn + mountain is spicy but feels kinda inefficient
there's a cube right next to tp stage1 which makes for an easy boss kill. though that's probably obvious
ya got that
i go for shrine of chance ukulele, but the stage 2 boss fight just takes ages
lol why
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
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?
No it lets him mark enemies
The third his office mercâe primary marks enemies and marked enemies take more damage
he makes it look so easy and effortless
And if you hit a marked enemy your cooldowns will be reduced by 1 second
Heâs being doing this for like 180 days after all
Iâd say wait until thereâs a prismatic trial with glass
If you donât like playing Merc that much
Idk
should i just play normal runs or eclipse to get better with merc
Iâd recommend normal runs
ok
Eclipse is really for when youâve mastered a character
i play others on rainstorm so im not terrible but im not good enough to beat stuff on monsoon
ah i see
this is the 183 time cabbage has done it in a row
tradition đ¤ˇ
Bro is all prismatic trials this hard because this months is bs
Anyone got a good guide to beat it because i need harvesters
I know but im just angy because of it
this current one, as merc?
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
I did it with huntress finally but it was more of the artifact of swarms that screwed me
does anyone had advice to completing mercenary prismatic trial ability thing?
should I just wait for a good seed
Waiting for a trial with glass, command, or chaos can really help make it easier
I got mine on beetle jellyfish kin
The purpose of breaking the crystal at the end of stage 1 was to get enough money for the Runald's Band, hitting the mountain shrine will cause elite magma worms to spawn (which look kinda cool ngl) from the teleporter event instead of hermit crabs.
i got 42 place with artificer
shouldnt have grabbed that mountain shrine đ
wait nvm it was a good idea lmao
stfu asshole go shit your pants in another server
no one wants to hear about your server
haha i know the message got deleted but im laughing so hard at you tlaking about risk of rain and then saying to stfu
LMAO
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...


i did it im so happy

use lodr to do prism trials
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
I shoot my flame bolts at one, then spear at another
then flame bolt recharges and I shoot at the last one
acutally huntress is fast on abandoned aqueduct with the harpoon thingy with a glitch
Then land and activate the teleporter with a crowbar i picked up
There is one of the bands somewhere i think
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
Flame bolt the one on the left, then spear the right and bolt the middle, then land
thats good strat
Takes like 6 seconds
id get up there as huntress and then harpoon the three of them
thats prolly even faster
ima try that in a bit
Maybe
ill update you lol
But what I want to do is get rid of spear and use bomb instead, but that's hard to aim
i could prolly do it
With bomb I get a ton more dps
just try a few times and get the distance right
also spear does more damage and is straighter so?
Spear does less
wait
1200% vs %2000 and aoe
Yeah
Mushrooms
ohh
Faster killing
yeah
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
aw no
Did you do the Huntress thingy yet?
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
if it's limited by dps then rex?
Rex is pretty good but loader speed is still probably better
loader can use the band
Is getting slicing winds possible on this seed
mini mushrooms are pain
I also suckat playing merc so that could also be a problem
there is and there isn't artifact of glass
lmao... look at the pins and watch the vid by cabbage
but it new map
oh it never got pinned
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...
ty
here you go
Sadge
damn he good at the game :P
yep
I DIDNT KNOW YOU COULD HOLD DOWN LEGT CLICK WHILE USING EVISERATE
you can't anymore, he just times thw third swing so that it applies exposed on his attacks
fack off will ye







hey so ive started speedrunning ror2, and restarting runs is a pain. how do you do it faster?
back in my day we just reset manually but there's some console commands people use nowadays to reset like 5 times per second
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
you can't use mods in speedruns but people run on 1.0.0.6 since there's no mithrix invincibility
ah that makes sense
so how do you do console commands without the toolkit
or should i just look it up lol
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
mkay
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
yeah it goes so fast im like wtf i cant read that
you can pause or reduce speed
lemme look at xenons speedrun
then type the command put it in a file somewhere to save it
run_end; transition_command "transition_command pregame_start_run"
there's also a reset script for blue orb i made like a year ago which could probably be edited with that command
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
yeah speedrunning is pretty fun until you just sit there resetting for 30 minutes for 1 run
yeah lol i found that out quick
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
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"
lol yeah
yeah sub 9 for any% is a good goal i think
yeah
you don't need blue orb farm scripts for that though
xenons most recent run makes me shit my pants the rng is so lucky
actually true
yeah i saw some sub 8 runs never thought people would do it but it's pretty cool how low the times have gotten
i thought my 8:23 was good back in the day lol
haha
seeded runs are prismatic trials
well yeah, but i mean like someone finds an insane seed and with that its completely reliant on skill
like minecraft seeded runs
i mean we used to do that with prismatic trials
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
yeah i don't run trials without glass anymore
i get that
my nvidia keeps recording discord instead of games and its annoying... idk about ror2 tho i havent started filming yet
i use obs
idk what that is lol
obs studio
i just joined the ror2 speedrun discord, maybe they can help me out too lol
the brass contraption fight is a bit tricky but i tried to kite them so i could damage them without getting hit by wisps. you have to time the lightning strike around your equipment drone's equipment usage so you get tincture, otherwise you'll get blast shower and then recycler which is useless against the dunestrider
đ ąď¸rass contađ ąď¸tions
hey shy you spelled indie wrong 
I GOT ETHEREAL ADVANCEMENT THANK YOU SIR CABBAGE
@uneven violet
wig did seeded runs and got 7:24? maybe faster idk
the seed could be better though
i think they don't accept it as a category because it requires mods
gd4
skill issue
Shoot them
just run left right
You can go to commencement on todayâs prismatic trial for PS4 players lmao
wtf?
so wait is stage 2 just the moon?
Yeah stage 1 is sky meadows
Itâs pretty funny
couldnât you go to artifact place on stage 1 then
Yah but then you have to complete the bulwark area and probably the area after.
Idk if that place counts as a stage clear if you get the artifact
the timer doesn't tick up tho
It counts up in hidden realms in trials
Oh
you could also wait a bit and use the backup for the 1st fight. it doesn't do much but draws some aggro and can make the fight a bit easier
i got into a pretty bad bike accident 2 days ago and have a bunch of bandages on both my hands, but luckily i was still able to record a video for this trial since it was easy enough. if i can do it, then s...
#184
what mental asylum escapist made the mercenary ethereal achievement
its not hard if you follow cabbages vids, but youre on console so đ youre on ur own
@indigo snow vulf was lazy and didnt ping you
omg vulf i cant belive youd do that
Im fairly new and trying to unlock the scythe whats some tips for the trials cause i keep dying
canât cause we spawned in different locations
i will find my own way tomorrow because iâm way too tired rn
This seems really hard tbh
you can try to get one gasoline to clear out the glacial lemurians faster if you cant clear them fast enough
2nd equipment is the call for backup, which is actually useful with artifact of glass
use it during the teleporter event
Oh wait a new one just dropped then i was trying the old one '
lo
2nd stage is just beetles so it's a free stage
all you need to do is not choke the first stage
Ill have to give this a try though the video uses a char i dont have so wish me luck with multi
Ahhhh you get hit once you die
It's artifact of glass so 500% more Damage but only 10% hp
Have to play carefully
Ahhhhh ok i think if i grind hard tomorrow i can get this
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
Yeah the glass is really whats getting me i keep getting one shot
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
I gotta survive past like 30 seconds to care about time haha
Only know the glass cause of the other ppl talking
best characters for this trial are defo the fast ones
What items should i go for? Any that are really good?
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
Ah ok
for trials you want to go full damage and mobility
prismatic trials only have 2 stages
Oh
man.
I'm dumb
Ok so huntress is totally better then multi here
If you want to go fast play merc or huntress
Maybe loader if you know how to use the abilitys for movement
Idk what ranged survivors to play other than huntress lol
commando is pretty decent for today's trials
I only have his default kit though
I got 1: 16 when I wasn't recording and can't be bothered to re-do the attempt to get a better/similar time.
nice run
So this week was my first time ever doing a prismatic trial. Whatâs usually a good time on these things?
Right now my time is 3:21
Aight cool cool ty
@rapid heart come join the speedrunning discord
Hey, anyone got any tips for the merc achievement? I'm at a loss

My friend got lucky with a tougher times printer
how many tougher times do you need to just completely block all damage
if thatâs even possible
it's not possible
makes sense
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 donât know how that would help in a prismatic run
even in a standard run with
you're unlikely to get 255 
just loop a little bit 
So how uhm
Doable is this weeks for that fockin thingy
Oh my god these strike drones literally donât do fucking anything
you basically die in one hit anyone
The bosses spawn always as the frozen elites
https://youtu.be/NsLmm8nyqUQ @winged tiger
I still haven't
- you still gotta pray to god that when you get to the first boss that one of them doesn't moev out of the way slightly at the end and attack the second your i frames go away
My problem with Ethereal was hearing stuff about how the challenge from launch day having 3 broaches
At least at stage 2 it becomes way easier
I had a topaz brooch and got to the teleporter and then died due to the ice bomb thing
I was playing merc for the slicing winds also
I'm giving up
how long is this trail up for?
Should be up for another 24 hours or so
Uâll be giving up a pretty free trial
I could have done it if I was used to glass and merc but I'm not
Did u get to the end?
Ur on console?
I even let my friend try and beat it and he failed like 10 times when he has gotten merc slicing winds 2 times
We used shareplay so it was like across the country
Idk what survivor to play though I just want scythe I play bandit so it'll be useful
Idk what happened
I got it and finished it and it says 0 Damage taken but the trophy didn't pop up
Nevermind
It popped up after I clicked continue
where's the teleporter on stage 2 in the current trial, I've been looking for 5 minutes and can't fine it
find*
am I stupid?
nevermind I am just stupid
Noiceeee!
i searched 15 minutes for it lmao
I finally completed the Mercenary Ethereal challenge 
Iâm not sure yet if I really like the ability it gave me
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
the last guy said he was just stupid but I don't know where else to look
ok it was below a ledge around the back of the map
still need to do the mercenary challenge
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...
Mercenary challenge is hard man
no
it can be, yea.
same
was epic
I did mine on the previous one since it was easy
18#
yeah depends on the trial. i havenât tried this one. i was being pissy last night when i said that
I guess its not hard since i only got 18 hours in the game
This one doesnât seem inherently easy, no kin, glass, command, or stage 2 meadows
yeah
a
you madman
Mercenary challenge was super easy the first day prismatic trials got artifacts added
Anyone here better than rank 92? What's your time? I'm 5:27:85
im gonna try this one since ive heard so much about it
ok i got rank 96 with 3:56
so you must be a lower rank by now
now im 67 with 3:25
how do I unlock prismatic trials?
unless you're playing modded, then they're unavailable
okay, thanks!
you could do a bunch of different strategies since command is enabled. preon builds work to 1shot the boss but you'll either have to fight the 2nd manually or wait for cooldown. razorwire brooch builds with forgive me please and will o wisp can also do well if this strat doesn't work for you
If the prismatic trial on PS4/Xbox today is stage 5, can I go to an artifact stage and it counts as my stage 2 then complete
No unfortunately, ambry doesnât technically count as a stage
@indigo snow
what would be the best class for prismatic trials anyways
probably loader
alright

sky meadows, NICE
Wait Ambry really doesn't count?
Nope, it just takes you to stage 2 when you finish it
this seed kinda sucks as the tp spawn is bad and the crystal locations are very annoying to get to
captain would be good for it, but the crystal spawns are really bad so he cant aim at them well
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.
does anyone know why the reliquary heals completely? is it overloading but doesn't show the prefix or modified health?
yep, basically a softlock
you know you donât have to do that jump, right? you can get up there another way. you donât have to follow the guide perfectly
hey i have a question
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?
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.
i get a black screen everytime i finish the trial how do i fix it i think i cant get the achievement that way
Loop instead of going to Mithrix, commencement bugs the trial it seems
if i try to loop the artefact thingy will just regen health wont it?
Use the prongs on the TP
the what? sorry im new to the game

The large stone slabs circling the primordial teleporter, interact with them so âthe teleporter aligns with the planetâ then you beat the TP and get taken back to stage 1
im an actual chimp sorry
le condom fish
lucondomfish
this trial is easy since all you have to do is not get hit
made it like 3 hours ago but forgot to post
@empty rover shyguy hasn't been pinning the stuff for the past few trials so
I ping you.
aight just keep reminding me
i love how the pins are just cabbage
because cabbage is GOAT
I finally got the mercenary challenge done
same
it was tough, but fun lmao

ok

@cyan stratus thank you! got ethereal after I thought I would never even attempt to. But I saw that artifact of glass was on and gave it a few tries after seeing your video
i usually get headset as red item for these trials, but ceremonial dagger makes it easier since it deals with the wisps from soul as well
#188
if someone hasn't gotten the achievement yet this time is as good as it will ever be
? this trial looks easy as cake
@indigo snow
enigma too. so free equip
anyone knows why i cant see names?
thatâs likely a bug, you prolly just need to restart ror2 đ¤ˇ
i fucking hate this gamemode with a passion
i really like the idea behind it but yah...
tho i doubt i would play it much more till i get better at the game
Hello, I'm trying to do the current prismatic trials on switch, I'm working at 100%-ing this game and ethereal is one of that last things I need. Can any of you here help me out a bit?
the video youll see in the pin is for the PC seed, but you should probably ask around in game questions, since no one really reads this channell
no
you honelsty just have to wait until a good seed lol
that video wont work
thats what i said
I know it wont work I watch it already
since pc and consoles dont have the same tridaily seeds
dude
yeah so if you find a seed with glass (and maybe command) it will be mucho easier
. . . the current console one has glass and command 
souls (obviously), Death, and swarms
