Did you just jumped through textures via shift and R? 😳
different keybinds but yes it's pretty easy to do as merc
That is high level of merc gameplay I ve been hearing a lot 
I think the majority of people that are trying to get the achievement probably dont care if you get sacrifice drops or not
So you don’t kill the greater wisp then?
Nope
thanks man for the videos, you help me a lot, like NO CAP
Who made the garden fresh role
cabbage
Acquired it for being garden fresh, idk maybe the mod who pins cabbage videos?

this one is so hard fml
Could anyone point me towards how to beat the current Prismatic Trial? I haven't played since they took away my Scythe, and I really want it back.
I figure with Artifact of Command, I should be able to make it happen, but I keep dying to the boss in the first area.
check pins, cabbage makes a trial video every time
also iirc in this particular trial, a few lemurians spawn sometime around when you decide to deal with the greater wisp; with some luck you can get a white and a green to spawn. take brooch to lower your chances of dying, and kjaro's on your green
also ALSO you can always wait for another trial since cabbage posts their routings for each trial; you can watch and judge whether the current trial is suitable for you
Thank you 🙂
welcome
Thanks to the suggestions here i managed to do the trial with merc and unlock his 2nd special.
So thank 👍

Pain



?
?
Cap viable? Or just Loader
i mean you can try
I'm bad with Loader
honestly I just entered prismatic trials one day on glass and kinda just winged it
needless to say it worked and I got ethereal
lmao that's so pog
@delicate grove ethereal in 3:39 
are we doing this now
you two have fun
ethereal is kind of lame anyway tbh
pacifist ethereal is where its at
😳
Pacifist ethereal with no chaos 😳
killing the crystals invalidates your run too
crystals are sentient beings and should not be harmed
wouldn't you be able to fall damage the enemies to one then make them crystal kill themselves?
theoreticallly?
probably
Boss 2 with a swarm of wisps 

because im not going to the artifact portal like a scrub
Is it a new trial?
yep
What's the S1 boss?
FREE
comparatively
boss 1 is double beetle queen with swarms, two is artifact portal
ok i'll go do it asap
wig suddenly became scrub
suddenly became?
nice. y'all using the artifact portal ?
i like slam
pylon can probably get you to the generator faster
but slam is consistent boss 1 kill fast
I also like the Thunderslam for this one, but I can't seem to figure out how to get to the generator fast enough
Yeah, I'm nowhere near that fast
and pylon is faster too 😦
Even with my scuffed S1, pylon was faster by a lot
Cabbage is running Ethereal now I see
this trial sucks
I agree
I must have a way different S1 strategy than you two, since I have a much worse time
ngl i'm relatively bad at buttons
use tincture on two crystals, punch the one near where you spawn
I was using Tincture on the bosses
& bosses
I messed up S1 but I think I found a strategy that I can manage
I'm not too great with Loader grapples
s1 grapples are pretty ez
once again relatively
no pylon swings or angle changing required
Artifact portal takes so insanely long to activate
around 13 seconds to go through its pain
i think it's 1 per thing as well as teleport animation or smth like that
I have been managing to shave time off with basically each run
I've taken over a full 30 seconds off I think
good b1 bad buttons
brooch helps tanks a couple hits from the wisps during the 1st boss, although i didn't take any damage anyways it makes it easier so i'd recommend taking it
if you're unsure about crossing the gap from the place i did on stage 2, you can run a bit farther and drop down more easily, i just didn't want to run into any enemies while walking over
Is there a different artifact code that can be put in even faster?
Dissonance would be the exact same number of presses I believe
But instead of a triple press it's two double presses
Glass would be the fastest 
I find Dissonance is faster and harder to mess up
checks pins to see what dissonance is
i don't like it, I just tend to circle the buttons, then finish wiht the center so it makes sense to do honor for me
I do a zig-zag like shape
Which channel has them?
Ah, that would've been very useful when I was getting all the artifacts
Pressing buttons is the worst part
I improved my time by 1 second
Would've been more but I messed up the buttons
This has been my S1 route
Though usually it goes better than that
rip
@fleet crow routing
https://youtu.be/6FHsCT_3duI
That makes sense
Though now that I've been pushed back to 6th, and will probably be unable to take over 3rd, I don't think I'll do more on this trial
sorry for taking 4th from you
I don't mind at all
Hey Zinq and Wig, how possible do you think sub-1 will be for you?
You're only 3 seconds off or so
possible?
I had suboptimal code placement in my run
And a crit on the boss1 punch can save ~3 seconds
not that it’s worth farming

There should totally be a prismatic player role
As a reward for top 10%, potentially
I wonder what that reward will be
I mean preferably it’d be something that you can cheat in, so that cheating for higher scores doesn’t matter
I wouldn't want anything that makes trials competitive and toxic
Maybe a void currency if something like that gets added
How in the heck do I beat that stupid mercenary challenge
For some general tips
I have a guide covering the general playstyle of Mercenary if it helps, but
Practice with Mercenary. The achievement is fairly skill-based, so the better you are with Merc, the easier it becomes to complete the trial.
Watch the trial closely. Try to find your own paths through. Cabbage is great for finding one path, but that's not the only way.
Topaz Brooch and barrier in general is your friend. Barrier doesn't count as getting hit, so Topaz Brooches can really save you. Shield does count as getting hit however
Oh, since you're on console Cabbage's vids won't apply
(Or most of the Ethereal vids you see here tbh)
I appreciate the help still, I'll have to start using Merc more
The guide is on my profile if it'll help nail down his playstyle more
somehow got a double punch crit on the s1 boss, not on this run though
1/10000 moment
sub 1 impossible gg
Slamming is not the hnically murder, you just accidentally bumped yourself into a stranger and that stranger splattered into a wall or a tar pit
sub 59 impossible gg
nice
sub 58 impossible gg
58.97 😳
also pretty sure that if you crit on a punch it will crit everything that it hits
so not 1/10000
How does he do it
FAST
hey is this prismatic trial in general simple or nah?
friend needs scythe unlock
very
not sure how i forgot this, apparently haven't played enough loader
True
what pure skill they must have
what's your best s1 btw
i mean i can beat a 59 pretty easily but just wondering how low you got it
ill upload a video at the end of the trial assuming you havent beaten it by then
im competitive enough to lab different routes, not my problem if your route isnt as fast
but there's only 1 route on s2 so it's not like your s1 time gives any information
just tells me how good you are at buttons
i suck at buttons, which is why i dont care for more competition during this trial
good opportunity to get better at them then
Why does console not have the same seed man
This merc unlock is killing me
We need a console cabbage
I'm also trying to unlock merc's alt special
but jesus I'm not seeing a way to unlock it on this seed
Watch recent cabbage video
This seed is literally godsend
On pc… of course… :(
oh?
oh ok
so literally on the second stage you can skip the teleporter and still win
I never knew that
nice!
Buttons were my least favourite part
hopoo pls patch buttons in trials
make it so going in artifact portal deletes your profile
alternatively i get good at buttons
buttons are so much easier than the obnoxious punch on the s1 boss
get it like 1/10 times
half the time i don't go far enough other half i don't actually hit the 1st one
buttons hardest thing in existence
annoying trial
https://youtu.be/zwClfc6dKkg
fast s1 btw
Much faster s1, but my button skills were a little lacking.
finally managed to use dynamic grapples
yea
stop sharing strats
i'm suboptimal at s2
no one likes this trial
i thought about doing something like that for s1 but decided it wasn't possible
so technically i came up with the strat myself
oh i thought it was still 57

@delicate grove can you name 1 Speedrun community where sharing strats is discouraged? Why play prismatics if you don't like the competition?
clicked exit to desktop instead of menu again guess that's it for today
i mean part of the fun is coming up with a strat in a limited amount of time, since trials are time gated, it's all just fun anyways nobody's actually mad at each other lol
i play prismatics mainly to crush zinqs dreams

consider them only partially crushed
grinding prismatics at a high level usually isnt fun and comes down to high reliance on RNG
considering ive spent over 2500 hours speedrunning the game i think i have a right to not want to do that more than i have to
wow that's 1000 more hours than me, no wonder i'm bad
thats 2000 more than me 
also this, im semi-meming
@scenic surge submit one any% run
you can do it
if you beat cabbage in any% ill never hide a trial strat from you again
What a generous offer
ill subscribe to your youtube channel if you beat cabbage in any%
Pls lord give us a good console seed next
I have mercenary ethereal but I don’t know when I got it lol

ayy
pog
I FINALLY DID PRISMATIC TRIALS
I still don’t have it I’m waiting for a glass seed
This trial is nice because no s2, and brooch
whats glass seed?
A seed with artifact of glass
I'm new to Risk, and the prismatic trial seed that was on recently when I first tried it was shiiiit
Anyone know how to get ethereal for this trial?

People have been going crazy with this trial, I'm down to 32nd from 3rd
Or I guess from 6th but I was 3rd at the beginning
It’s pretty easy not gonna lie
It ends tonight, right?
Yessir
@delicate grove y’all got a vid of 55.88?

fine since you asked
was funny when cabbage said about the punch being annoying 
Every time I threw pylon in generally decided to kill a beeble when I was about to teleport
And the punch wasn’t that annoying, buttons screwed the runs for me
this trial is pain

gaming
wtf
theres two chests right ontop of each other next to s2 teleporter
i thought i got 2 items out of the same chest for a second
console is different from pc
Ah i see
you could grab a brooch instead of the focus crystal / crowbar if the wisps give you too much trouble, but i didn't find that it helped much
ocular hud sticky bomb can probably go faster i think
but its an rng grind
i mean the headset route is also rng
pretty much every possible route is improved at the cost of rng
no glass fun
headset route CAN be rng
should you add rng
Sticky bomb is always 100% rng relient
only 1/4000 chance of success over both stages
not as bad as i thought it would be
Absolutely unserious business with the head stomp
What?
The number is how many times I've posted this in regard to cabbage posting a new prism trial
Its been 2 years
that's very interesting
3 times 249 is roughly how long its been
Yeah but why tho
Fair enough
there no way to like go back to the last prismatic right?
no way
can hoopoo make the prismatic trial honor and command next i want my marc acheivement
I FUCKING HATE IT
Why is it every time I reset I have to select the trial THEN MY SURVIVIVOR THEN I CAN PLAY
So fucking annoying man 
If your fast enough on the reset you can skip the trial page by spam clicking where the survivor select is
and then also predict where the survivor is
if you're good enough you can start the trial again without seeing anything, just having muscle memory for where the buttons are
doesn't ready take a couple seconds to press, or am I an amateur?
you can still click it, and if your loading time is long enough it sometimes won't appear at all

If you're good enough you don't even have to restart, you get it first try 
God the best I can get is 2:36
so bad 
that would be true if there wasn't rng in trials
you seem to be struggling a bit, want my strat for this trial
Screen shots or fake
Wtf
i havent been running the trial and dont intend to tbh
you should
i tried sticky bomb strats on a modded client and it can get around 1:20 but trial boring
huh
Yeah what

Wig and Zinq don't lie
I was trolling mostly lol
I always see their names at the top
I just said it so he'd post his items 
😳
Trying to do a run with stuff people haven't used and it works very well I just die before I get over the first stage lol
one shot build is most effective for trials
Yeah yeah
Just trying to make brain stalks work, had it work 2 times, and cut the time in half but die on stage 1
I've killed the boss prob 10 times but die to his fire lmao
Hey
also I realize my s2 in that run was sort of bad
s2?
That makes me just want to stop lmfao
You're like a pro and I'm a noob, wtf is that movment
The s1 was nice, with the crystal jump
the route is bad tbh
Discord is so fucking annoying sometimes, sticky as who tho
Loader and just pray that your hs procs?
Also why ice band
yeah some weird route idk just grab a sticky bomb white item
waiting for fire band made me impataient
you gotta hit charge punch exactly after you punch
pylon swing?
I find it works best if you are falling down while aiming up at a 45 degree angle
or anything near-ish to that
Also did it first try then fucked it 
lol
How would anyone even get ethereal in this one
Cabbage
Captain Diablo is the way to go
❌
headset is not rng btw
Chance shrine full of crowbars with HUD is that enough to kill?
no
^
only reason i even do these lmao
Why is the cat "hehe"
because it's smiling
hehe
Why do you even need to do it in under 2min
Yea, leg red item is bad
new strat
I went full guillotines and armor piercing Bullets on first stage + BB, then went to the bazzar bought purities, and Air striked down the Crystals on the Second stage and spammed boss
As captain
this is my first time trying it, is this seed like really hard or something?
yes? i mean every enemy is elite which makes it hard for merc
i never finished it because it was pretty hard but the ability is good
Hacking beacon for the shrine drop
shooting a lot of crystals, this route is pretty painful
s2 is really nice though
I got a smoother run, but forgot to record
it is sorta tough to get that merc achievement wowzers
Skill issue
true
W8 u don't have to break all the crystals?
Dang then i could pulloff it all in like 4 minutes
you have to break 3
Spite and Honor.. not great for Merc
Do Shrines of Luck always drop the same items on the same attempts? Or always rng?
same
Only thing that’s rng are: Crits, Procs, Order of sacrifice drops, Enemy attack patterns
Oh.. I was breaking them all >_>
And skill issue
A wisp dropped that equipment while I was playing.. it isn't Sacrifice at all
ASPECT MOMENT
Ohhhhhhhh right
I died shortly after since I took a Windows-shift-s screenshot and didn't pay attention
Imagine not using lightshot, also best if u got safety first
I was running the trial for speed
I was too low for safety
I hate how accurate you have to be on this trial with beacon placements
You hacking the chance shrine or the crystals?
Because then I could say jump before beacon placement for sure
Diablo is generally harder than the beacons
Diablo is also much more impactful if you miss the shot
I'm trying your strategy and I can't reach the tp in time
That Is very much a common issue
I'm off by .5-1 seconds usually
Alternatively, open the chest while walking forward, hit the tp then turn back for the command essence
It’s slightly slower because you have to walk back to the teleported
I had it in time this attempt.. but I didn't notice that I missed a crystal
I messed up timing AND DIABLO placement
That’s a more precise route btw
Map broke this time
Simpler slower route
uh I had spun mouse to make loading faster at the end, epilepsy warning.
Slightly slower
How are you in 12th? That run seems very difficult to beat
I’m assuming hacking
Are there any characters that you can run trials with other than Cap, Loader, and Merc?
It seems that even out of the 3, Loader and Cap are better
Huntress
very very rarely something else (with enigma luck)
but merc is slower huntress without enigma
Maybe ill run captain now that loader has no more competition 
Maybe I’ll run loader now because it’s only 1:26😈
Please do, cabbage seems to be struggling a bit
i haven't done more than like 10 runs
@scenic surge nvm captain just realised id have to completely change my keybinds to be able to charge primary and sprint/strafe
how the hell am I supposed to beat the prismatic trial with mercenary without taking damage
ahh
but, like, any strats? I've seen his vids before, and while they are good, whenever I try, I always get screwed over by wisps, so I was wondering if there were any specific strats I could use to perhaps counter the wisps
For some general tips
I have a guide covering the general playstyle of Mercenary if it helps, but
Practice with Mercenary. The achievement is fairly skill-based, so the better you are with Merc, the easier it becomes to complete the trial.
Watch the trial closely. Try to find your own paths through. Cabbage is great for finding one path, but that's not the only way.
Topaz Brooch and barrier in general is your friend. Barrier doesn't count as getting hit, so Topaz Brooches can really save you. Shield does count as getting hit however
The guide in question is on my profile
repetition is key, copy cabbage's run, but first understand what he's doing, with merc tech and whatnot
he did trimping once or twice, and did the 3rd m1 cancel with dashes/m2/r a few times
alot of practice, yesteday i finshed myself after long grind >:P
Re do make it in 2:22,22 time
Also, I didn't know the shield counts as getting hit. Does it, like, raise your max HP or smth so that when you take damage, you fail the challenge?
???
what keybinds don’t allow you to shoot and sprint
Run captain
But loader can be semi-ok
Facts
I have shift for sprint, ctrl for primary attack
I can do it but its very awkward and not enough fingers left for strafing
The challenge uses combined max HP, and shield counts as combined max HP
Shields count as max hp
Which is why they mess with one shot protection, cuz they regen differently from regular health
just use the joint on your 5th finger for shooting then
you're probably used to it if you use keybinds like that in the 1st place
Strange
especially control for shoot
I generally enjoy m1 to shoot

What’s m1 then?
grapple
Just grow more fingers
1 ticket to chernobyl please
nvm

i keep on doing the merc trial with only taking broach hits why am i net getting the achievment
do you already have the achievement
no
how does one ice band with crit do enough damage 
I was using preon with two ice bands and crowbars
also that green item not all the way across the stage helps why am I blind in my multiple searches
I would say crit but...
Crowbars are actually not effective there though I don't think
because ice band procs a seperate hit, so original hit has to leave them above 90% hp
great start: immediatly crit punched a crytal and killed myself
glass and swarms makes this very easy, the focus crystal isn't really necessary but it doesn't hurt to kill the vagrants a bit faster
if you're having trouble with the jellyfish/lemurian spawns, you can pick up gasoline from the chest i pass by at 0:23, it's the the second one after the crystal
I seem to have encountered a skill issue
Instead of an Overloading Wandering Vagrant, I have a blazing one spawn. Is it because I'm one console?
Yes
Console trials are different from PC
Dang, I guess I'll rely on i-frames from Merc's third ability to hopefully get Ethereal. Thanks.
General tips if it'll help
Today's prismatic trial is quite easy
Viable for speed? Not too much. Ethereal viable? Definitely!
Nice that's what I need
Ethereal on REX
why do you think that
Melee only
He has more immunity than the other characters
Arti and rex probably quite hard
REX wouldn't be able to use any self-harm abilities
Oh yeah lmao
Ranged character have the advantage of being able to stand out of bounds and kill the boss
But its getting the crystals thats the hard part
Railgunner would probably be easy
Maybe
Now that I think about it, Railgunner might be very good for trials
Good mobility, a one-shot attack, and range
So you could snipe the crystals and insta kill the boss
While using the bomb/mine things to speed around
kinda wish this was a thing, would be fun
Most good runs don’t involve getting hit, save for Diablo/crystal jumping
??
you usually tank a lot of hits from stuff like lemurians/wisps because you're just trying to kill the boss, and back when rex was meta it was constant self damage
very true
i also remember this s2 golem boost used for arti, it was 3 years ago though https://www.twitch.tv/videos/407073711
yes, they were broken back then, something to do with damaging it when it spawned caused its shields not to generate
trials were much different back in the day
No loader, was artificier highest dps?
mult and artificer were used
usually mult was better, but arti had some advantages b/c it could kill hordes pretty easily while mult couldn't
and no artifacts
yeah, those were much later
so almost always same survivors I guess
mult and arti until rex came out, then always rex, no exception
most people stopped playing since rex was always the same every trial and was boring
oh boy
nice timesave
turns out doing the same mistake is equally fast
you should do an any% run 
huh the crystal didn't kill me lvl 3
something something scrap barrier
finally
this prismatic trial is impossible
well, for mercenary no damage
I get to second stage, final boss and the two wandering vagrants are blazing
how
Console?
yeah.
blazing enemies affect players nearby it, so if you even get close to those jellyfish bastards you're done
simply dont take damage
your welcome for the advice
is there a brooch today
damn bro, you're right

Me too, glad to finally have ethereal
Cabbage thank you for everything you've done for the ror 2 community.
i finally did it.
That is a lot
got ethereal ohyea
Is it possible for one of the stages to be Commencement
hasnt cabbage done merc:ethereal on commencement before?
It would probably be easy
Due to Mithrix not being a very hard fight with low health and no items
i abused capacitor a bit more than i would've liked to, but this was still a pretty fun thing to do
the time on the leaderboards at the end is from my previous run, not this one. there's no official ending screen since the game gets confused if you beat mithrix in prismatic trials
old commencement tho 
just to flex? 🤷
I woulda taken a chronobauble
And why the armour..
I'd never seen old Commencement before.. ew
ethereal isnt "no damage" it's not to fall below 100%
topaz brooch means you can take hits and reducing those hits for safety is good
i also did it on the new moon though, that's an old video
yo is there any way to see the whole leaderboard for prismatic trials?
I'm 53rd right now but I don't see how I can go much faster with merc, but I can't see which survivor people above me are using
28th now
1:28.37 as merc, idk if it's possible to go more than like 1-2s faster
everyone seems to be using huntress/acrid
Loader is best
loader is best even when loader isnt fastest
that's
technically true

not an amazing run, primarily a routing showcase
I messed up boss 1, charged the gauntlet a little too little
boss 2 might've been too much
apart from that pretty good
Sub-1 moment
how
Gaming
how did you beat the 2nd teleporter boss
I focused on one and then went to the other, plus i was playing from pc so idk if it's the same rn
Oh hell nah
so it's impossible, and I'm just tryna find people who happened to do it on console if it's even possible
With a blazing boss, yeah it's gonna be a pain
Doesn't mean it's impossible but i'd say better wait for one that doesn't damage you as easy
As soon as I start the teleporter, I instantly take damage, so it might be borderline impossible
Can't even spam the special, you just teleport on the fire or something
Well i'd say you wait for the next one, hoping for artefact of glass or no wisps since those were the bane of my existence on the previous one
true, that hitscan is a nightmare

not what you are doing 
Thank you :)
Guide in question is on my profile
I got it!!!
Noice
easy
I think i know what I’m doing
idk what would be much more effective though
What’s today’s trial like
swarms and glass
hell on earth (on console final boss is blazing jellyfish)
people keep talking about console blazing jellyfish, i don't have console but why can't you just use eviscerate for iframe+dash out until they die or even grab fireworks from 1st stage and kill them by printing at the teleporter?
i'd check it out but i don't own a console
that sounds like a good plan
Hm
S2 boss is Overloading Clay Dumpster
Sticky Bomb
There's an S1 Runald's you can get
Hehe

I have absolutely no idea how Wig is going this fast
the extra items i get on stage 1 aren't really necessary but i was waiting for preon cooldown. preon makes both bosses very easy
sorry about the couple of stutters in the video, my encoder really doesn't like this game
fun fact: if you do trial of honor, the artifact reliquary is secretly overloading!
Yup
2nd boss is always elite, it's not because of artifact of honor
im never gonna get this shit
Pre nerf rex days :' )
what's the trial artifacts
ahh.
Probably, but the DLC shouldn't affect the trial, since every drop and whatnot is predetermined
And it's DLC so Idk how that'll even work with the trials
imma drop my 2 cents on how the dlc will work with the trials here
My thought is that they will do something similar to dead cells and their daily runs, you'll probably be able to use dlc items on trials, but if you dont own the dlc then thats the only place you can get those items
@proven cobalt how does the DLC interact with PT?
ive never done it so i guess you'll find out tomorrow
well thats a lie i unlocked crit scythe
then never done it again
you haven't experienced the Ethereal grind
:' )
Acc now I want to know which of the devs earned ethereal the Chad way
i feel for 99% of players they did the scythe then maybe ethereal and that's it
surely the devs have played prismatic trials :clueless:
I high-key wish ethereal was not hackable
Make the normies sweat a little for once
This is kinda unrelated to getting top time, but I'm trying to get the achievement of not getting hurt during a prismatic trial. any tips you could tell me to make it better?
For some general tips
I have a guide covering the general playstyle of Mercenary if it helps, but

Guide in question is on my profile
Ah, Thank you! I'm still a bit new, got the game a week or 2 ago and have been playing nonstop, so I'm trying to get all the content I can
Oh, there are a bunch of tips pinned in #ror2-game-questions if you're new
I'll look at it, but I've been learning about the game really fast. Need to catch up somehow!
@delicate grove are we 11% crit farming here
no wait nwm crit glasses are a mistake
i never crit farm
yep
neither do I
.99 isn't true
crit farming is not an essential strategy here
loader good
that route looks kinda bad
How so?
notenough crit farming

Is that a more polished up rally point run?
No
I'm not good enough to loader prismatic, but I'd say I did ok for my skill with her
Ok listen, I'm trying to do Mercenary Ethereal on the current seed, strat is:
- get the turret
- go to ambry on Command artifact
- get 70 gold from pods
- get missile launcher and fuel cell
- hide like a bitch while missiles or turret kill stuff
Here's the problems:
- Kin artifact does not work, regular spawns
- Artifact keys do damage, but it gets healed
Dunno if multiple keys (5-6?) will insta-kill the core
tips appreciated
multiple keys will not do anything more, only one works at a time
So Meadows -> Ambry bypass is no longer doable?
Nope no insta-kill, Ambry is not doable as core heals all key damage
Welp, time to wait again. Shame really, was a cool strat
The bypass is stage 4->meadows ->ambry instead of tp boss, not meadows -> ambry magic
Not really cheesing it, that’s the primary method lol
Otherwise it’s extremely skill required to not get hit at ALL
But congrats!
I got to the second boss without getting hit but then blazing Beatle queen as Merc
I spend 4 hours on that shit and I'm happy now

does the new trial have the sotv stuff even for people without the dlc?\
it looks like that's how it works, otherwise there'd be split leaderboards
Im still still trying to get ethereal what are the best strats for current seed or did it just reset?
Console?
yes… thats the whole point
well i didn't know
anyone else notice one of the tri shops had hoofs and then watch and elixer?
It changed between runs
Not pc vs console
teleporter inside a void seed, the ultimate ethereal challenge
do trials change every day, every few days or every week?
72 hours
Check cabagge on yt
you can stand on the jellyfish guy!
Wow that's actually pretty good, thanks
😄
Wait s1 is now sulfur pools for all pc players though right?
Pc players with the dlc
isn't it for players without dlc too
also @delicate grove have you ran new boss% yet
Damn today's seems hard. I should do these more i never do em
I did it
i only know one of the ways to get to the new boss, but it seems like a cool extension to any%
pretty fun with loader
idk much about how to get there but i think there's a bunch of rng involved for the fastest way
i posted a 13:03 but i think if beating it counts as any% it could technically be faster than current any% record (?)
with early portal spawn rng
yeah i think so
i havent tested whether beating that boss counts for the beating the game achievement
because if it doesnt then its not really any%
Prismatic Trials should be the same for everyone, and that means that expansion content is always enabled regardless of whether you own it. That's the intention anyway, so please let me know if that's not the case.
did people without the dlc get an update aswell?
Check woolie's video
picking up delivery sheet changes the items in one of the normal multishops
yes
i think you have everything downloaded but don't get the option to enable dlc content, idk though
so in trials it just has it enabled
ok so you literally spawn inside a void thing on stage 2 for this trial ??
yeah blue portal is the only way to do it, and no you can't use iframes at the start
bortal dream gets you vagrant, which you can bop easily to hceese both bosses
also gets you an around 2:30 time
if you don't take the blue portal, you will spawn inside one of those void seed bubbles on stage 2 forcing you to take damage, so one lunar coin is required per run.
if you're wondering how the prismatic trials work with people who do / don't have the dlc, it's the same for both since you still have the dlc stuff downloaded even if you haven't ...
how do i get clay dunestrider to walk off the map? it wont do it for me
stand at the same spot i do, if it doesn't jump off just move around a bit
thanks
Let's just hope the rng won't put a void at stage 1 of prismatic trial.
I am literally unable to complete a prismatic trial due to the bad rng of the artefacts
Hey guy, you the man
prismatic so hard
took me 3 hours of grinding on a glass command kin day to unlock slicing winds
Took me about 100 coins with the above strat
But finally, sweet video game points
oh lmfao i didnt even know that was possible
i just lucked out with some green items and stuff and watching where wisps were
man today sucks lmaooo
the way I see it there are two viable routes:
Captain speed shoot + Diablo
Mercenary double boss cheese
no loader?
I have worse
I have Honor, Enigma, Dissonance, Evolution and swarms
Actually impossible
that isn't worse than on pc, pc has sacrifice and no enigma, it also has soul
I have the same
Anyone got a strategy for the Prismatic Trial today? I'm having difficulties
Loader can’t boop effectively
maybe though if you do chimeras
It sucks so much ive tryed everyone and I cant do it
I know
It feels really bad
Everyone should have the same btw
is that engineer ror2
I believe it is
Yes I am
My best is 1:44
Any boss skips?
No just cheese the first boss off the cliff
whats the trial rn
Just threw my run when the last boss had like 200 hp left
The best I’ve done is bandit with desperado, spamming invisibility if there’s too many imps or vultures around me
Desperados pretty easy to stack with the half health enemies too
Is the current trial easy for merc to get his alt special?
not too hard, just double boss cheese
I think pc and console have different trials
Yes, but all PC have the same and all console have the same
Thanks, I’ll try that out
Is today a good day for console? The golems keep fucking up ethereal with the tracking Lazer stuff they shouldn't have
The titans just seem completely unavoidable, especially in the last phase, with two of them
found a funny bug with trials, you can use it to get free ethereal i guess, not sure if it works on console https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA6NwWBj6ak
so i found this bug with prismatic trials, if you enter the prismatic trial start screen, leave, and then create a multiplayer lobby it'll act as a prismatic trial. you can get ethereal for free if you just hide somewhere and have your friends kill everything i guess. it's a pretty funny bug, but it doesn't actually record your time on the leade...
I am currently taking ethereal comissions, $5 per player
mone
How tf does that work lol
No chance
if you read the post directly above mine you will understand
people join my multiplayer lobby and i do all the teleporter events while they go and hide, and me get big $$$
It's all profit
i'm currently sharing an all unlocks txt file

@dense cipher 3 hours till reroll
Alright
If you set your device’s time forward to a reroll, it will reroll so you can do it until you get good artefacts
lmao i already got everything
so apparently you have access to most of the SoTV content in this mode, even if you dont have the dlc
that supposed to happen?
yeah, everyone has the same trial
you could also kill the blazing vagrant, but frailty + vengeance makes for some fun strats
The pins here need to get fixed
Wait how does that work?
i don't know how it works, i just know that it works
i think that this makes it way more difficult
is the trial changed now?
i never done one before and the last one was just too difficult 
first ever Prismatic Trial, top 500 
Depends on the artifacts mostly, I try every time a few times to see if a scripted run with good items could make it but never achieved no hit yet
I guess I am really lucky that I got it solo?
This challenge is honestly shit and makes me want to get it by cheating with mods or so
Straight up good at playing safe imo
- i Hate mercenary, masochist character
void fields counts as a stage
getting a crit is how you win
oh cool void fields counts as a stage now
How long will this last?

Now how do I beat the prismatic trials with mercenary
play multiplayer with someone and let them do all the work
you can also probably play multiplayer, make them do all the work stage one, and sit in the cell in void fields too this trial
For some general tips
I have a guide covering the general playstyle of Mercenary if it helps, but
Practice with Mercenary. The achievement is fairly skill-based, so the better you are with Merc, the easier it becomes to complete the trial.
Watch the trial closely. Try to find your own paths through. Cabbage is great for finding one path, but that's not the only way.
Topaz Brooch and barrier in general is your friend. Barrier doesn't count as getting hit, so Topaz Brooches can really save you. Shield does count as getting hit however
Guide in question is on my profile
new seed is so fast
did a terrible run on it and was still just over 2 mins, can probably knock at least 15 seconds off
@scenic surge 
uh oh
oof why does the terrain clipping on sniper bullets haev to be so jaaaank
crystals in crosshair over hill - nope you hit the hill ;s
Something about crystal hit boxes
#nocrit
REALLY
wouldnt be with sniper
it default punch more dps?
oh didnt realise you were using thunder gauntlet
thunder is more dps i think
i will try using it

was it #nosticky
fastest time i can get with sniper is 1:15 to just reach the second tele q.q
with newt?
I can't even first boss with normal punch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnKr9_FYAtk 1:42 (sniper)
idk enough loader to try him in pris trials, ill have to practice him in other modes first
boobie
?????????????
this used to not do anything, how did you find it
void fields supposedly now counts as a stage for normal runs, thought maybe that might effect prismatics
interesting
Are the Prismatic trials the same for console and PC







:' )
