prismatic-trials

[proven storm]

I followed the Cabbage method

you don't really need the watches

but it takes a bit longer

The only thing I feel it's necessary is the Wax quail and maybe a topaz brooch

[rugged plinth]

how did you avoid the solus probe horde hitting you at all?

[proven storm]

Lots of trial and error with the preon

ideally you want to blow them all up at the same time

however, that is VERY unlikely, so your next best scenario is destroying all of the non mending ones

the preon passes by the probes, it should destroy the non mending ones, and the mending one will remain at roughly 300 health

after that, use your R and try to hit the probe from behind

if you fear that you might get hit, use your shift (preferably the first one that you can use up to three tiems)

and try to expose it with melee attacks

[rugged plinth]

alright

guess i’ll give this trial another go later in the day with all that in mind

[proven storm]

As I said, it was a lot of trial and error

most of the time I didn't even get to summoning the boss

the main obstacle for me was the fucking chimaera

Also you should get the Wax quail nearby the preon

If you want, you CAN get the topaz brooch near the tp, it can save your ass

[rugged plinth]

yeah i know where the wax quail is already and have a good idea how to take out the stupid chimera

[proven storm]

Cool

[rugged plinth]

the probes were my biggest problem so far

so i’m going to pray stage 2 is not cancer

[proven storm]

If you want I can try to record taking out the probes

so you can see how I do it

[rugged plinth]

nah it’s alright i can’t even try it out until my classes are finished

[proven storm]

Oh alright

regardless, you have the exact same method in the pinneds

the only difference is that I didn't bother getting two watches after beating the probes

[rugged plinth]

oh shit i didn’t even know about the pins

well that should help a lot lol

thank you

[stoic sequoia]

how do you kill glacial vermin no hit

with preon on cooldown

Because I got a 90% no hit clear on first stage you take alternate shift dash of kill ul to container shift r kill the chimera get preon get quail wait for alpha contructs to spawn near preon so they dont annoy you near tp and crystals kill crystals get broach kill last crystal and as soon as you actiavetp count realy fast to 12345 and aim slightly right of the left most rejuvenating orb spawn

you get a shit ton of barier and kill last orb

[crystal pasture]

just go where cabbage goes and wait

[stoic sequoia]

who's cabbage

[crystal pasture]

check pins

he does a video for ever prismatic trial, I followed his guide to the T and it helps a lot

[stoic sequoia]

I just googled he has a preety good strat on stage 1

but I think mine is better because it kills both elite orbs and is faster

[crystal pasture]

yea he's pretty good yet if you go where he does on stage 2 you should be fine

it's just waiting for preon while also getting them together

[stoic sequoia]

ok I just saw what he did on stage 2 I tried to do the same by going up I just didnt think you could go higher and got cucked by the orb

[crystal pasture]

damn

don't worry, you still got today to get ethereal

[stoic sequoia]

bro I cant send a photo do you have to have a role?

bro why did I get over;loading gup stage 2?

[sly drum]

yeah, get a #roles

[sly drum]

you took to long

the tp boss change with each difficulty

[pallid pumice]

is today etherealable?

[zenith plinth]

when do primsatic trials reset?

[sly drum]

check in game

but should be less than 8h ish

[scenic surge]

<t:1648598400:R>

[scenic surge]

@delicate grove This you?

[scenic surge]

thx

rip hit close to desktop gg

[delicate grove]

probably easy beat if you steal my 2 bosses

[scenic surge]

i think the timesave cmp is the boss2

ayh exactly but

the grapple to the tp2 is hard

[delicate grove]

just use pylon

[scenic surge]

no

[delicate grove]

its better

[scenic surge]

gotta take my own route to the grave this one

[delicate grove]

[scenic surge]

and i made it to the grave

[delicate grove]

rest in peace

[scenic surge]

FREE ethereal

[cyan stratus]

as usual

[tawdry solar]

new prismatic come out yet?

dunno the time it comes out every 3 days

[hollow olive]

wait its that easy

[scenic surge]

preon in the adaptive chest next to you

#10

[hollow olive]

xD

preon does indeed equal easy xD

[cyan stratus]

i recommend #17 instead

[hollow olive]

legendary?

[delicate grove]

common

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B42RyreiQrk

[zinc rampart]

How do you avoid the crystal's damage on the first one?

[cyan stratus]

dash gives iframe

[zinc rampart]

so just before landing, be in the process pushing the key to dash?

aahh ok i see now

[hollow olive]

im getting preon but it doesnt seem to be killing the s1 boss

[scenic surge]

nah it doesn't quite

i mean you don't really need preon

[scenic surge]

15

[cyan stratus]

headset route is superior but i will not prove it

[scenic surge]

what about...

punch route

[delicate grove]

all natural crit route is superior but i will not prove it

[scenic surge]

grapple reset only route is superior

[delicate grove]

wouldnt railgunner be pretty fast on this trial

[sly drum]

with how usually you guys do the railgunner jump boost, i think it might be possible

[delicate grove]

yeah she can one shot the first boss with glass and the second boss with runalds

[scenic surge]

or you could do the same thing as loader

too much travel distance for Railgunner I think

[delicate grove]

well you can use vase on both stages?

equipment charge skip

[scenic surge]

vase s2 is like not much faster

because annoying crystal layout

[delicate grove]

you saying this from experience?

[scenic surge]

yap

Though as captain with a quail

[delicate grove]

doesnt count then

a cracked railgunner could do it i think

[scenic surge]

also uh the glass is

halfdown

Wait nvm you can bounce up after picking it up with direct base

[delicate grove]

you could just skip the glass and get crit glasses out of the spawn chest

oh wait

[scenic surge]

Railgunner can’t crit

yeah

but like is crowbar enough?

[delicate grove]

idk try it

im not cracked enough to do railgunner

[scenic surge]

neither am I and loader is probably better

[delicate grove]

@cyan stratus why do you think stomper is better route?

[solemn fiber]

#261

[cyan stratus]

you can kill 2 crystals s1 and 3 crystals s2 in 1 stomp each because of aoe but need insane mob rng since it auto targets

[hollow olive]

do you take a band on s1 boss kill?

[delicate grove]

Have you actually been able to do either of these stomps

Or are you just theorising

[cyan stratus]

no i did both

the 1 run i did was a test run where i got both stomps but didn't really do anything else well

[delicate grove]

12 seconds of not doing anything else well?

[cyan stratus]

more than that probably

like i missed an entire grapple on s2 and just kinda stood there waiting

and had no idea what to do for boss 2 lol

[delicate grove]

Not really seeing how it saves any time on s1

You still have to go and grapple reset the other crystal right

[cyan stratus]

nah

the imp has to just not take the jump pad though

[delicate grove]

Im confused

What crystals are being killed

[cyan stratus]

crystals 1 2 and 3

[delicate grove]

Good one

[cyan stratus]

how else do you want the explanation lol

the one at spawn and the 2 by the lunar pod?

[delicate grove]

Yeah thats more like it well done

[cyan stratus]

yea maybe it's not faster

[cyan stratus]

well if your time is the fastest it can be then headset route can be faster

[slim lintel]

railgunner aint it chief

[cyan stratus]

yeah...

[forest holly]

What is prismatic trial

[distant ember]

it is a two map time run with randomized artifacts,

[random mural]

and it's seeded so it's always the same for everyone

[short zenith]

if anyone wants an alternative, I did it like this

with the secondary dash

you can go pretty much around however you want prioritizing wisps

[primal oyster]

I take tesla

For avoid random sneaky wisp

[scenic surge]

What about soulbound + fmp + brooch + gesture

[primal oyster]

I get it NICE, i focus in defense and the tesla do almost everything

[sly drum]

not so good with railgunner

[tawny jasper]

I wish they gave unlimited lunar coins for trials

burned so many...

[scenic surge]

I gave myself unlimited coins for trials

[tawny jasper]

Yeah, probably a good idea. I've not done it before but I know you can

Or I assume you can(if it hasn't been removed)

[sly drum]

huh, that was fast

[tawny jasper]

I think you can probably do it slightly faster on arti. Not 100% sure tho

[sly drum]

i guess you're using ?

[tawny jasper]

nah i chose vase

I can probably send a video, uno momento

[sly drum]

oh, i did consider that
that means you use ion surge?

[tawny jasper]

Ok nevermind, I have no idea how to make a video small enough

[scenic surge]

lol

[scenic surge]

has to be around 1:30 is how i'm doing it

but other streaming services such as streamables or ytube

[tawny jasper]

too slow at the trial to upload a video... what a noob

Is it cool to post a yt link in this channel?

[scenic surge]

hopefully 🙂

yeah

[tawny jasper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeKtOQxuzzU&ab_channel=UGotSlade

I get SUPER lucky in this one not dying to S1 boss but you can safely clear it in the same amount of time

Ion surge takes too long to kill the beetles

[sly drum]

AH, so that's how you get up there on S1
thought the knockback won't be enough without extra knockback from somewhere

[tawny jasper]

oh yeah you get plenty of height
maybe only possible because she's floaty but have made it up without glide on a few occasions

[scenic surge]

negative lol

[scenic surge]

finally

[tawny jasper]

He's never seen a 1:13, and he never fucking will
are you really going to stop when you're so close to 1:11 though?

its only .09 seconds. How hard can it be...

[sly drum]

fleeting flashback of x many times looping the stage
zinq : y-y-yeah

[velvet hemlock]

Hey hows it goin- dies to larva + artifact of glass

[scenic surge]

When someone beats me

[tawny jasper]

what does top 10 look like? Is it all cheaters

[slim lintel]

always has been always will be

[scenic surge]

nice

did you manage to not throw s1?

also pylon or slam? This trial seems pretty ambiguous.

[delicate grove]

Stage 1 is pretty unthrowable

Imo

I used slam

[scenic surge]

yah k

same, but like I don’t know single grapple + pylon was faster/possible

[delicate grove]

Probably is if you get a crit

[scenic surge]

crit is unessesary

…

[delicate grove]

But then how would you do stage 2 without slam

[scenic surge]

uh

Slam only really offers me some leeway if I miss

maaaaybe your doing a different route than me

[delicate grove]

Probably

Im not using any equipment or reds

[scenic surge]

nah neither am I

Just fists

[delicate grove]

How you kill boss without crit then if you used pylon

[scenic surge]

…punch

how do you kill the boss?

[delicate grove]

Punch + slam

[scenic surge]

that b1 or b2?

[delicate grove]

1

I thought we are talking about s1 lol

[scenic surge]

you probably don’t grab 2 crowbars and glass then

[scenic surge]

Yeah we were just clarifying

[delicate grove]

I get 1 crowbar

Becauee you dont need 2

[scenic surge]

unless your lazy

[delicate grove]

With slam atleast

[scenic surge]

or want to use pylon

[delicate grove]

But pylon seems like it would suck s2

[scenic surge]

Why?

with the glass normal punch 1 shots crystals

And charge punch easily one shots boss

[delicate grove]

Because you can kill 2 crystals with slam

[scenic surge]

or you can walk a bit and punch twice

[delicate grove]

Which is a timeloss

[scenic surge]

Ur off cooldown

[delicate grove]

No

[scenic surge]

on

[delicate grove]

My grapple is off cooldown by the time i slam

[scenic surge]

hmmm

[delicate grove]

And punch

[scenic surge]

interesting

[delicate grove]

Maybr i need to grapple reset the last crystal

[scenic surge]

wait

[delicate grove]

[scenic surge]

You taking two grapples to get to the crystals or just 1

[delicate grove]

No backup mags

[scenic surge]

Also grapple reset would really benefit my route probably but lazy

[delicate grove]

1 grapple use

[scenic surge]

a

[delicate grove]

And then 1 to get to last crystal

But probably dont need that

[scenic surge]

k then if your s2 seems better, best s1?

[delicate grove]

40.5

[scenic surge]

oof

[delicate grove]

What

[scenic surge]

that’s a number

with only 1 crowbar

and no mags

[delicate grove]

I have special boss manipulation techniques

[halcyon carbon]

Has anybody tried the current seed for Merc achievement?

[rugged plinth]

look at pins

there’s a merc guide every seed

[delicate grove]

i think cabbage tried it

poor guy is still trying to get the achievement after 2 years of trying

[halcyon carbon]

I got it eventually, Telsa coil ftw

[brazen fulcrum]

i got my thing today ye

screeched so loud lmao

[cyan stratus]

headset route is still faster but i will not prove it

[warped agate]

ayo its the ytber

[quasi pebble]

I got it today, easy ass prismatic, shaped glass, both bands, and 3 topaz made it very quick

And with that I finally have 100% all achievements (for now until future dlc)

[lilac panther]

any tips for completing a prismatic trial? I mainly wish to do so to unlock the scythe.

[icy urchin]

the current one is super easy

in case you haven't done one before: destroy 3 time crystals and then you can start the teleporter

once the tp boss is dead the tp becomes charged (you don't have to wait like you normally would)

items from chests are always the same

but this pt has command so you can just pick whatever items you want

one of them is a red

[lilac panther]

I mean I tried beating it but still kinda just end up dying despite my best efforts

I tried to follow the merc guide and did alright but still find myself messing it up even if im not trying for the no hit run

[icy urchin]

just get like a tesla coil from the red and one of the dmg equipments

[lilac panther]

honestly I think I could do it (- the not getting hit part) I just gotta not mess up as much

[icy urchin]

you can get hit if you have barrier - which means

[lilac panther]

do shields count also?

or is it just barrier

[icy urchin]

just barrier

shields count as hp for stuff like this

[clever surge]

i take 2 crowbar and 1 shaped glass

and pylon

[lilac panther]

managed to do it with the and some + 1

though I still got hit

oh well

[random mural]

keep grindin', you can do it ^^

[lilac panther]

I was mostly going for the scythe

[icy urchin]

i'd recommend trying to get ethereal

other pt-s can be really unfavourable

command or glass is when it's best to try

[lilac panther]

there's still like 2 days left

[clever surge]

lol

i guess 3 of us have completely different routes

but i said my route 2 crowbars and 1 shaped glass

[random mural]

[scenic surge]

Ur route is probably similar but effectively using pylon

[clever surge]

yeah maybe, actually i don't need thunder

[scenic surge]

I use it only on the first crystal, and for clearer bosses

[clever surge]

i kill first crytal with my shift.

[scenic surge]

Pylon swing over?

[clever surge]

nope

[scenic surge]

Or wait are you killing the crystal close to spawn

[clever surge]

sorry i don't get it. okay i am telling it. It's not a pylon swing over. It is tree swing over lol 😄

[scenic surge]

Huh

Then where pylon?

[clever surge]

grap the tree

[scenic surge]

yeah that’s what I’m doing with slam

[clever surge]

pylon is when i killed last crystal

[scenic surge]

ah k

[clever surge]

if you want i can capture video but it will not best time just show the route

i am very lazy with capturing video

[clever surge]

There is a problem with my obs. You will wait sorry. When i capture a video fps drops and appear yellow border. It wasn't happening in the past

[scenic surge]

not using windows screen record

As long as the gameplay is clear and visible though

[clever surge]

Do you use display capture?

It issue is still happening in display or window

[scenic surge]

most of the time yeah

or whatever happens when you click windows + shift + R

[clever surge]

nah bro i read what written on internet but it didn't solve the problem anyway i will capture a video right now. You will get my route's idea

[sly drum]

yeah, same

obs can't capture ror2 it seems

[clever surge]

this problem didn't happen in the past. This is awkward

[scenic surge]

sometimes you gotta close and reopen the game

[clever surge]

this is not about the game. It seems about with my pc

[scenic surge]

damn

[clever surge]

https://streamable.com/9qdp5s

anyway i will solve the problem later. I couldn't play because game is so lagging

i couldn't kill the first crystall with shift

i couldn't kill last beetle

just show the route

it looks like there is no lag in the video but really i can't play when recording

[delicate grove]

i steal from this ty

[clever surge]

no problem 😄 welcome

[scenic surge]

ah yeah similar to mine but you kill c1 with punch as opposed to slam

[clever surge]

hm

[scenic surge]

and kill both those crystals s2

[clever surge]

just grap this tree

[clever surge]

i am killing c1 with shift not punch

[scenic surge]

shift punch

[clever surge]

ah sorry 😄

[clever surge]

i play the game 120 fps but when i record its like 30 fps, i see the game 30 fps so i can't feeling comfortable about playing when recording. Sorry for video

this fps drop affecting to my gameplay

[clever surge]

yeah

i used to use windows capture but now it's very bad. Guys i don't even see the game capture lol 😄 it works

https://streamable.com/4y3tfw

now there is no fps drop. In here very bad s2 but its okay

guys my english is so fcking bad. Is there a usage for "used to use" or i should say "i was using"?

[tough belfry]

"used to use" is good there

[clever surge]

oh thanks

[cyan stratus]

headset route can be faster, but i will not prove it

there must've been 7 seconds to save in my run somewhere

[scenic surge]

damnit

[scenic surge]

with thunderslam

"slo" meaning not pb

[hollow olive]

I finally got high enough on the leaderboard i can see you guys again xD

[sullen lagoon]

am too skill issued to beat prismatic trial even when not trying to go fast

[south dome]

hEY hey, I'm going for Ethereal today, I gotta know, If i get Transcendence, will going below 100% shield make me fail the achievment

[lilac crag]

Shield counts as health for the purposes of the achievement, but Barrier does not

[south dome]

darn

ty for the info

[lilac crag]

You can stack Brooches and subsist entirely off barrier and that's generally the accepted way to do Ethereal on most good seeds

[south dome]

Well today there's command, so I'm gonna try and utilize it

[dusty panther]

good luck!

[south dome]

thanks, i'll need it

EYYY gottit

thanks yall

Now I have every achievment

[split pier]

good for merc achievement?

nvm ima just do it

[south dome]

oh yea very good

[slim lintel]

I think gup is going to be overpowered in trials

[split pier]

gup

[cyan stratus]

not enough movement speed, and really bad for crystals

[slim lintel]

kinda wish modded trials were a thing tbh, soldier would be fun

[cyan stratus]

people do modded trials all the time though, check the top of the leaderboard

[slim lintel]

I thought those were cheat engine

[cyan stratus]

either/or probably

[random mural]

Well cant you use cheat engine to turn yourself into a gup?

[slender dagger]

Hey where can I see the full leaderboards?

[scenic surge]

nowhere atm

[scenic surge]

EASY ethereal

[hollow olive]

damn zinq that time is crazy

im just glad im up there with you although 19 seconds behind xD

[hollow nimbus]

im on floor 2 of this and no enemies spawned, including the boss

is this meant to happen?

[hollow olive]

i dont know i dont go to the second stage i go to the void fields

[delicate grove]

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgRbG38klrg

[inner stirrup]

God i wanna pay someone to do ethereal for me at this ;point

[arctic sigil]

The current prismatic trial is real easy for the mercenary challenge. For some reason I got Alloy vultures as the enemy on the second stage, but not a single enemy ever spawned. Not even on the teleporter event!

https://imgur.com/a/DoyU2ge

I had to charge the TP normally.

[hollow olive]

damn my weakness in these runs is that im so bad at bazaar

if i could just improve at that i know i could lower my final time even more

[delicate grove]

bazaar is annoying

[solemn fiber]

[slender dagger]

Oh this sucks ... Would love to be able to browse and view even past entries

[scenic surge]

yeah

[scenic surge]

sub 1

[hollow olive]

Yeah that's crazy

I was waiting for that zinq upload

I got something to watch on my break at work now 🤣

[hazy venture]

there is a hidden chest here containing a backup mag

[stiff moat]

thank you cabbage

[gentle arch]

ayyy (ignore my really slow time)

that was not as hard as I thought it would be

[inner stirrup]

my problem is the wisps

and whether i’m able to nuke the bugs at the telle event is hit or miss

[scenic surge]

What I did for the wisps was pick off the enemies one by one, then immediately kill the wisp

The enemies can’t hit you that well anyway, so as long as you kill every wisp with a skill it’s not bad at all

[willow coral]

oo this is a good mercenary seed

a topaz brooch wouldve made this free

[vague tendon]

great, a good merc seed and i cant even play the game

;-;

[willow coral]

condolences

[vague tendon]

my game legit refuses to launch

still waiting for a patch in the hopes it gets fixed

[willow coral]

maybe you will get a better seed next time

[vague tendon]

maybe, i hate these no-hit achievements

just let me be bad at the game xd

[willow coral]

soul is the main thing thats the issue here

an ideal seed would have only melee enemies with kin with glass and a topaz brooch

for the huntress ballista one, go with kin, glass, and command
stock up on things like topaz brooches, and all of your greens on mobility/damage

[vague tendon]

guess that could be good

still need to get all artifacts tbh

only got like 2

[tame prairie]

Guys.. i finally got gud

i did it... mercenary ethereal is done!

[normal isle]

Same

[hollow olive]

im so glad i got the ethereal challenge done a couple of years ago

[tulip oasis]

so for merc ethereal what items are reccomended w command

obviously like shaped glass but specifically with equipment/reds

[scenic surge]

Tesla coil if there’s wisps or soul, Headset if you need to do damage

Capacitator or preon for instant boss kills

[tawny jasper]

Brooch for barrier

[wheat acorn]

Where can i find the prismatic trials so i can unlock harvester's scythe? 😄

[lavish shadow]

In the alternate game modes on the main menu

[tiny bloom]

Nice

[rain walrus]

tricorn also works for boss kills if you want a yellow

and it's not like preon is recharging anyways

[restive nimbus]

should I keep pushing?

[scenic surge]

yes 🙂

[hollow olive]

i finally lowered my time by another 3 seconds

sitting at a 1:08.82

[delicate grove]

no

[spiral pewter]

doit

[sly drum]

filled with loader and railgunner

[scenic surge]

yeah it’ll likely stay that way

with the rare captain

and the many skilled mercenaries, huntresses and commandos

[sly drum]

huntress and commando pretty questionable

[slim lintel]

huntress has had 1-2 really good trials, idk if commando has ever had a good one

[delicate grove]

@scenic surge

[scenic surge]

Stylish

[delicate grove]

not sure if i missed the activation onthe void portal in bazaar

[scenic surge]

nah it’s massive I think

didn’t know about that teleport

Interesting bazaar grapple, is that faster?

[delicate grove]

faster than what

[scenic surge]

Mine

[scenic surge]

works without the backup mag

[delicate grove]

looks like it

[scenic surge]

damn that one looks harder

[delicate grove]

punch only gives you speed for a small duration, then it slows you down

[scenic surge]

theoretically fast s1

[delicate grove]

try swinging to the left a bit instead

[scenic surge]

leaderboards

[hollow olive]

already xD

[raw sage]

I hate prismatic trials

I just want my damn slicing winds

Why

[hollow olive]

Yeah im lost on how you 2 are getting fast times lol

the imps are so spread out on s1 and it takes forever for me to kill them, then on s2 the boss just takes way to long to kill without some major damage

[scenic surge]

skip boss2 by hitting the newt alter above

as for the imps idk i'm letting them group, and losing 6 seconds to wig

[hollow olive]

i dont know how im missing all the newt altars 🤣

[scenic surge]

here's my run atm

i need to find 6s

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf6uUCfhLQ0

[wide cave]

I'm having a stroke unlocking ethereal today the lemurian and blind pest are so annoying

[sterile fossil]

[late kestrel]

tips for getting Ethereal?

[delicate grove]

dont get hit

[late kestrel]

fair nuff

what about dealing with wisps and shiz?

hitscan brats

[delicate grove]

hit them before you get hit

[late kestrel]

ok

[restive nimbus]

😳

this was really bad and will probably get knocked down super fast

but yeah pretty shmoovy

ok nvm

i'm cracked

[restive nimbus]

i think just going with 0 items might be faster

that or i'm dumb

either way I'm satisfied enough with my time so I'll wait til next trial to shmoove harder

[hollow olive]

Yeah I'm starting to do it with no items

It's possible without the crowbar if the wisps are nice enough to line up for you 🤣

I'm going to try some more no item runs tonight when I get home

[cyan stratus]

kinda fast for a plant

[icy urchin]

fast murder cabbage running at incredible hihg speed

[delicate grove]

going with 0 items is faster

[restive nimbus]

yeah i figured that our myself but idk how to kill the lil imp dudes fast enough

Also I've been running it with thunderslam as that feels faster too (you can slam down to the first crystal from newt altar and down onto the void exit portal if you overshoot)

[restive nimbus]

????? how

[scenic surge]

wait can you one punch the imps without crowbar?

or is it just slam+punch combo and I have to learn a slam route

[scenic surge]

imps are the worst enemy to deal with

[sly drum]

teach me

[restive nimbus]

@scenic surge i can show you how I do the run soonish if you'd like, I'm not very good but it'll show you my strat at least

[scenic surge]

nah i found a strat

[restive nimbus]

what is it?

[scenic surge]

i'll show u when I complete a run well

[restive nimbus]

😳

I'll be looking forward to it

[sly drum]

this is so bad lol

[restive nimbus]

how does thia even work????

[delicate grove]

[sly drum]

S2 for rex is easy af, but S1

[scenic surge]

not perfect, but pretty good @restive nimbus

[narrow gate]

i didnt even realize that if you pass void it completes it

this is fantastic lmfao

[restive nimbus]

okay I see, yeah replicating your crystal pathing wouldn't be too bad but getting the imps to path that way to you

now that's pretty good

also how tf are the first 4 huntress and merc?

[narrow gate]

that makes sense

huntress ult plus shift

takes out the time of going to the other crystals

[restive nimbus]

maybe, but still, 34 seconds

[narrow gate]

wait w h a t

oh i see

[restive nimbus]

#1 is huntress with 32 seconds

[narrow gate]

yeah that's through hacks

[restive nimbus]

yeah probably

[sly drum]

even the fastest boi still need 1min, there's no way huntress with that crappy damage can clear it in 30 sec

[narrow gate]

tru tru

gonna be streaming this in like 3 hours to try to get myself back on the boards

[scenic surge]

yuou can avoid having to deal with too much imp pathing by two spare imps the first punch

[narrow gate]

was thinking you can use backup bag to pull the two other imps on the top rock to you

will try and see if it reaps any cut time

[scenic surge]

one merc down

[tawny jasper]

Have you ever beaten then #1 cheater trial time or is it like
.5 seconds on commando

[vivid furnace]

what are the prismatic trials

[tawny jasper]

It's in Alternate Gamemodes Acrid
You're drunk go back to risk of rain 1

[scenic surge]

later on in the trial the times get more absurd

But there’s generally like 5 or so times under 42s, which was the fastest time so nah

[vivid furnace]

but it yummy

[cyan stratus]

just normal rex stuff

[sly drum]

the fastest i can do for S1 is 1m or close to that

[narrow gate]

finally got a 1:36 run

[scenic surge]

are you able to bounce from the crystal underneath to the newt alter?

[narrow gate]

1:31 lets gooo

and yeah i figured it out

what would be abnsolutely optimal

is if you flew just above the crystal and activated newt alter without having to land on the orange crystal at all

[scenic surge]

if that happened though you’d go too far

[narrow gate]

tru tru

[delicate grove]

i wouldnt be surprised if rex is faster without void fields tbh

[narrow gate]

getting that crystal jump consistent is difficult tbh

i wanna see a rex run

[delicate grove]

since it can kill crystals from anywhere on the map

[narrow gate]

yeah but its a matter of mobility through void fields thats the problem

SUB 1:20 LETS GO XD

[cyan stratus]

ofc it is

[sly drum]

rex can just push the boss off the map for S2

[sly drum]

though the problem i have rn the routing, since i can't seem to be this fast

[cyan stratus]

there's no routing, just go to tp every stage

s1 46sec on that run

[sly drum]

👀

[zenith plinth]

i dont like this game mode

it makes be rage lol

but yk console lag with the freezing and stuff

[split pier]

I think your console just sucks mate

I play on a slab of wood and it works gud on even stage 25

[scenic surge]

just pressed quit to menu twice in the span of 5 minutes

[ionic plume]

How do I get ethereal? I keep taking damage.

[scenic surge]

if you haven't yet, try cabg video

in pins

[ionic plume]

Tried that, got instantly overrun by lemurians and took damage. -_-

Every. Time.

[sly drum]

wait for the next seed, current seed seems pretty hard ngl

[zenith plinth]

very very new to this, how good is 3:40 and i'm guessing using bandit is dumb right?

[sly drum]

if you're up for the speedrunning competition, pretty bad

but for fun? pretty good

[pallid pumice]

who thought it was a good idea to put an elder lemurian stage 1?

[zenith plinth]

well i wanna know how to get into it comp, but for now just fun

also to learn to the game lmao

[solar birch]

since im new to the game does anyone have suggestions for pt

[sly drum]

check pinned message for the guide video first

after that, either get good with the character you use
or get more playtime

[scenic surge]

If you want to get in the competition, get good at loader really

Loader is the best survivor in most trials

Other trialable survivors (without a lucky enigma or infinite talent) to learn for good results are:

• Captain
• Railgunner
• Huntress

[hollow olive]

i just want a trial i can use the commando in 🤣 🤣

but yeah loader seems to be the go to survivor for trials 90% of the time

[scenic surge]

commando is sort of a slower huntress (tragically)

But good enigma can even the playing field

[hollow olive]

i feel like glass would need to be a thing as well to kill the crystals fast enough

[delicate grove]

@scenic surge i improved my time a bit

[hollow olive]

im stuck at 1:14 so im waiting until the next trial xD

[scenic surge]

@delicate grove

either your doing something different or your doing very well

if I may ask, best s1?

[delicate grove]

31.xx i think

wait

37.xx

[scenic surge]

ahhhh

mine's like 39

[hollow olive]

damn mines 44 xD

[scenic surge]

I wonder if it's a different strat in the stage or just imp management

wait it's proabbly

imp management

[hollow olive]

i know i could personally do better at imps cant seem to kill them fast enough

[scenic surge]

seems like one punch is the way to go

[hollow olive]

i cant seem to kill them in one punch

whenever i go to punch them one or 2 of them always dodge or when i do punch them i slow down and dont do enough damage

[scenic surge]

ah yeah the don't do enough damage was annoying

just make syure to grapple beforehand for more speed

here was my recent s1 one punch attempt

[sly drum]

is huntress even good for the trial?

maybe with glass on, but otherwise i don't think it's good

[scenic surge]

yeah glass trials, because with loader it's harder to kill the crystals

although they may have been surpassed by railgunner

[sly drum]

crystal jump boost doesn't kill railgunner with glass on?

at least REX die

[scenic surge]

nah it does, but they do much more damage

so they can legitemetely kill non horde bosses

[scenic surge]

apologies for upload spam, but finished run

[solar birch]

yeah that didnt help, guess ill just git gud

[sly drum]

ok, did you want to unlock merc skill?

or just clear pt in general

if you want to unlock merc skill, current seed is pretty hard

[sly drum]

if you want to clear it in general not for speedrunning, just use any survivors you can use the best

since the chest content and placement is the same no matter how much you repeat it, you can just remember the content of the chest and just pick what's important

if you want to go for speedrun, get good at
<> loader
<> railgunner

[solar birch]

i just want scythe

[sly drum]

ah, it pretty much just like clearing normal run tbh

but this one easier than normal run

just use whatever survivors you're comfortable with

[solar birch]

thats the thing, i can get close to completing a normal run but i cant do pt

[sly drum]

stage 1 or stage 2 right now you're having problem with?
also what survivors

[solar birch]

well i got close to completing s2 with rex

[sly drum]

ah, robot rex or plant rex?

actually, it doesn't really matter

you can push the TP boss off the cliff btw with REX

[solar birch]

ok wait

wdym plant or robot rex

[sly drum]

for the blind pest and alpha construct? (pyramid like mob)
i personally focusing on blind pest 1st, and also like usual
keep running/walking, don't stop

plant rex : self damage skill
robot rex : the other one

[solar birch]

i dont usually stop

oh, plant

[sly drum]

plant rex is faster in clearing the crystal ofc, but just becareful of blind pest and alpha construct in stage 2

those 2 is only enemies i encounter at stage 2
at 1 min++ but less than 2 min by the point i'm at stage 2

[solar birch]

so basically just get crystals and then tele and dont worry about items on s1

[sly drum]

technically yeah
if you can though

there's also 2 drone on the way

flamethrower drone and missile drone
if you don't want to get any item

[hollow olive]

of course wig already has a 1:20 🤣

and now your down to a 1:04 dang

your a monster at trials i swear 😂

[solar birch]

33rd global lets go

[narrow gate]

BRO SHEESH

lmfao at least im second

[hollow olive]

damn

[sly drum]

nice

[narrow gate]

@delicate grove what items are you ending up with

[delicate grove]

meteor

[narrow gate]

HAHAHAHA NICE

honestly I did the self damage + barbed wire

but lemme try meteor thats great

[hollow olive]

i was using hellfire myself

[delicate grove]

boss skip awu and go to void fields

[hollow olive]

wait you can skip the s1 boss?

[delicate grove]

yes there are some videos of it posted here before

[narrow gate]

missiles?

[delicate grove]

you have to punch and be inside the awu when it spawns

[narrow gate]

WAIT YOU CAN BOSS SKIP WITH METEORS NOW?

[delicate grove]

no just with charged gauntlet

[narrow gate]

also what does awu stand for i am illiterate

[hollow olive]

what is an awu lol i dont think ive heard that term before

[delicate grove]

alloy worship unit

the big ball boss on sirens call

[sly drum]

oh right, reset already

[hollow olive]

oh so you dont even summon the wisps?

[delicate grove]

yeah the wisps dont spawn

[hollow olive]

and im guessing once you punch right before the awu spawns that still lets the blue portal spawn?

[delicate grove]

yes

[narrow gate]

do you even have to do crystals?

also that just means we gotta find eggs lol

[hollow olive]

nah i think meteor kills them all

[narrow gate]

ohhhhh

[hollow olive]

the meteor kills the eggs as well im pretty sure

[delicate grove]

meteor does everything

kills your team mates in casual too

[hollow olive]

xD

[delicate grove]

best item in the game

[hollow olive]

could just sneak an artifact of death and go free falling off the side xD

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK-XpTX0DNg

free ethereal

[scenic surge]

was the ground yoink intentional?

[delicate grove]

yeah

its inconsistent though but nice when it happens

[hollow olive]

i finally pulled the skip off but messed up big time afterwards

still shaved off 7 seconds

[narrow gate]

how do you do the newt alter btw?

its a pain to run backwards

[sly drum]

command + lunar bud
could easily go for +

[delicate grove]

get the meteor first and then go get the altar

[hollow olive]

do you activate the meteor right after you get it wig or as your going back to get the altar?

[scenic surge]

right as he gets it

[delicate grove]

yeah

[hollow olive]

ok so i was doing it right then

you think a 50 second is possible?

[narrow gate]

OH SHEEESH

[delicate grove]

maybe with a different strat/ very good rng

[narrow gate]

finally got the skip

[delicate grove]

i managed to punch straight from the awu to the tp in my 56 but had to wait a second for the meteor to break the crystals

[scenic surge]

i have failed awu skip 10 times in a row

[hollow olive]

did you have to get up on one of the little ledges on that middle structure to punch from the awu to tp?

because it seems like that box is in the way

[delicate grove]

nah i swing from the bridge above where the newt altar is

but its kind of luck whether the eggs break at the right time

[scenic surge]

have you treid free equipment to use 2x meteors for faster stuff?

[delicate grove]

no not yet

just tried it and eggs still broke too late

but crystals broke faster

[scenic surge]

ah damn xenon's running no 2nd place for me

[delicate grove]

wow finally gave up on acrid

probably skipping awu with crowdfunder or something

[narrow gate]

fionally a sub 1:10

[cyan stratus]

guess im just bad at this game lol

[little star]

aweshome aweshome

missing those days 😢

😭

[scenic surge]

REX? who's REX?

all there is is loader

[little star]

back when loader wasn't out

😔

2019 moment

[modern owl]

[scenic surge]

routing

[slim lintel]

loader 💤

[delicate grove]

better to just punch straight to the tp imo

also im picking up whip

feels like its slightly faster getting off the platform in bazaar

[edgy plover]

ok how tf was the boss killed so quicc

im new to this lmao

[scenic surge]

how?

grapple then punch? sometimes grapples on cooldown though

[delicate grove]

just faster

big grapple on bridge then punch awu

[scenic surge]

ah yeah I see

probably better yeah but requires more precision with AWU spawn timing

[scenic surge]

prismatic trials work in that if a “boss” is killed on any stage, the teleporter is completed. Sometimes, you can kill a boss that didn’t spawn from the teleporter in order to instantly finish the teleporter before it even started. These include: vengeance doppelgängers and alloy worship unit.

[edgy plover]

huh

[scenic surge]

Alloy worship unit, however is interesting too. Because they always spawn in the same spot, you can easily boss skip them

[edgy plover]

which is being inside of them when they spawn?

[scenic surge]

boss skipping is when you hit them on the frame they are spawning, causing them to not spawn at all

[edgy plover]

ah

[scenic surge]

iirc it’s gotta be 100+ damage inside them

[edgy plover]

hm well time to become big brain

[scenic surge]

The bosses do spawn, but the health bar doesn’t appear and they don’t spawn as bosses (yellow hpbar). Also AWU drops the red.

[edgy plover]

yea i finally connected AWU and the boss it refers to

[left badge]

is this prismatic easy for the merc challenge?

[icy urchin]

#prismatic-trials message

[zenith plinth]

I’m in the leaderboard at the end hehe

nice though

[left badge]

thanks

[summer monolith]

i literally got really burnt out of this game because i was having too much fun with it

i played like 200 hours in a month

[bronze vigil]

play more

[hollow olive]

is my game just bugged or does it say unknown next to a bunch of players on the trial leaderboard for anyone else?

yeah nevermind i just went to the main menu and went back in and it fixed itself xD

[scenic surge]

Just internet sometimes does it I think

[amber swift]

how often do artifact of glass trials happen roguhly? Ive been trying to do this achievment today for like 2 hours but i might just wait

[sly drum]

you can pick though

[amber swift]

AYO

[sly drum]

oh wait, sorry

lunar bud is equipment, i forgot

at most for damage boost

[amber swift]

a shame

ighty ty. imma just try and get a bunch of fuel cells and preon my problems away

[sly drum]

you can also pick
+ +

unlimited barrier

[amber swift]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

good call will try

[sly drum]

just don't forget to throw the equipment constantly

[amber swift]

yeye

[edgy plover]

@scenic surge finally got a sub minute time :)))))

thanks for all the strats help

[scenic surge]

Nice!!!

[stone adder]

i helped wtf no credit?

[edgy plover]

get scammed nerd ur like -.1 behind me get goop

[stone adder]

not even more??? bro im like half dead or seomthing

[old jolt]

small question
P.trail gave me access to sotv items and enemies
Is that intentional?

Even though I didn’t buy the dlc?

[slim lintel]

yeah

[old jolt]

Alght

Thanks

[noble linden]

ayo?

nvm

[flat frost]

So you guys know how mercenary has a loadout

That in order to unlock u need to beat the prismatic trials without getting below 100% health

Do u guys have any tips to do it

Cuz i knda suck lol

[mossy solar]

the easiest way is to wait for the glass artifact to be in the prismatic trial

it's still not easy, but should be doable thanks to all the invincibility frames mercenary has

[sly drum]

the message i reply after this, is the guide for current prismatic trial

[sly drum]

this one

[vital moon]

Anyone have tips to getting no hit on mercenary for the skill?

[scenic surge]

lol I tested and this trial is an easy Railgunner: 1 million damage achievement

[sly drum]

for some reason, mod didn't pin current trial guide video

[scenic surge]

sometimes mods take a while

[slim lintel]

just get a mod manager

[cyan stratus]

that was a funny joke, thanks for sharing it

[slim lintel]

You're welcome, thank you for enjoying it

[cyan stratus]

why it spawn here

[scenic surge]

because you blocked it

with your character, it spawns lie a thing

like plugigng a boss spawn

[cyan stratus]

doesn't normally happen though

[scenic surge]

wdym?

[cyan stratus]

doesn't have the same size hitbox to block like normal enemy i think

smaller

[scenic surge]

yea

[cyan stratus]

this trial has so much rng it's stupid

[scenic surge]

it really is

most rng reliant trial i've seen so far

[cyan stratus]

had a 52.5 pace but scuffed void fields entry which is like the only non-rng part lol

[delicate grove]

do you guys have nothing better to do than grind this meteor rng trial

me neither

[scenic surge]

normal runs take too long

[cyan stratus]

i ran out of lunar coins

[delicate grove]

that hapened to me on the previous trial

thought i had bugged the newt altar

[cyan stratus]

lol same

altar wouldn't work

[rough jay]

is anyone doing the prismatic trial today?

im trying to figure out what the number 1 time is and what character they use

strats and stuff im rank 60 something with loader

[scenic surge]

loader, xenon, 53.05 iirc or smth like that

[rough jay]

damn is there a video?

[scenic surge]

Nah but like

[rough jay]

i wanna see what they are doing to try and figure out what to do

i have a route but wanna try to improve it

[scenic surge]

^ video of hopefully similar run

[rough jay]

i can get 1:30 but thats the lowest

[cyan stratus]

i recorded a 53.2 or something i think but it's just rng grind

[scenic surge]

Yeah this trial involves some wired skips if you don’t already know them might be hard as a newer player

[fleet crow]

Zinq what is and how did you get the Cleansed role

[scenic surge]

[rough jay]

wtf

that routing was fucked

thats what i get for trying to beat it normally lmao

[scenic surge]

there was egocentrism channel, which then got cleansed

I dunno why

[rough jay]

how did the first boss die?

[scenic surge]

Sadly I can’t post videos with cleansed role

[fleet crow]

So is there no way to get the role now?

[scenic surge]

nah don’t think so

[fleet crow]

Dang

[rough jay]

because did you spawn the orb?

[fleet crow]

I want every role

[scenic surge]

The worship unit counts as a boss for trials, and I skipped it

[rough jay]

and it just died?

how did you skip it?

[scenic surge]

By hitting it exactly when it spawns it doesn’t count as spawning but ends the boss event for the trial

[rough jay]

so it doesnt spawn

then you can just run to portal?

and basically you need rng for blue orb to spawn to get that good of a run?

[scenic surge]

no you hit the newt alter

which spawns a portal

[rough jay]

oh

[scenic surge]

the rng in this trial is the meteors location

[rough jay]

meteor?

[scenic surge]

glowing meteor, the lunar equipment

Scatters meteors across the stage, which kills crystals and hits eggs

[rough jay]

damn

is there like a theoretical best time to do the trial normally?

ive been grinding this like swing loop trick to get around the crates in the ice level and swing myself across the map

just to see your routing skips everything xD

[scenic surge]

i got 1:15 or something before I realized there were meteors

[rough jay]

do you have

a video of that one?

also how did you do that like grapple skip

or grapple glitch at the beginning of your

video

wait

you spend a lunar coing every time you do a run

[scenic surge]

that’s why I conviently have billions

[knotty berry]

What is the point of breaking time crystals

I played the mode for the first time yesterday

[bold cradle]

you have to

[knotty berry]

Other than the necessary 3

[bold cradle]

oh idk

damage?

[knotty berry]

I guess

[cyan stratus]

this is with a 34 second s1

[cyan stratus]

don't feel like hoarding strats / grinding more rng so have fun getting sub 50 with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACoNCnv8R6g

[delicate grove]

What are you pausing for?

[vagrant spade]

is it even worth doing the mercenary challenge

[sly drum]

for 100% achievement? sure
the skill itself? if you're good with Merc, it's an upgrade

[cyan stratus]

looking at meteor

[sly drum]

4/8/22 Prismatic Trial Mercenary Guide

[cyan stratus]

@slim lintel where's the loader gameplay

[slim lintel]

I don't do loader

[cyan stratus]

yea me neither but this trial is very fun to play

you get to hope that 2 meteors kill 5 eggs at the perfect time

[copper quartz]

can you cheese the prismatic trial by going through the ambry?

[scenic surge]

nah, you'd have to do ambry

[copper quartz]

is ambry harder for ethereal?

[scenic surge]

for sure

THIS IS THE WORST GAME

[edgy plover]

what loadout yall usin

for loader

[scenic surge]

pylon + spiked grapple + default punch

[edgy plover]

e

[cyan stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJModd6evho

[stone adder]

what crystals are u getting?

[scenic surge]

two next to spawn and the one up where alt newt alter spawn is

[stone adder]

the one to the right of where u look after spawn?

[scenic surge]

(Ignore the alter)

[stone adder]

yeah that one ok thansk

[scenic surge]

hit tp1 at ~ 25s

[stone adder]

hwo r u beating the boss i feel like thats 100% where im losing time but i just feel slow

[scenic surge]

uh

grapple the mending, punch him and a non mending towards the drone

then grapple the straggler, punch the rest to the blue portal

[stone adder]

hmmm ok

ill try again with this info thanks

[scenic surge]

should take two punches

Although sometimes mending is tanky

[stone adder]

2?

hmm ok

[hollow olive]

thats weird my newt altar is in a different place

[scenic surge]

no it isn’t there

Just using a convenient photo from the wiki which includes alter

[stone adder]

tbh thought that was the crystal not the alter XD

[scenic surge]

yeah was tryna reference which crystal was the third I used

[hollow olive]

oh

[wheat solstice]

How do you get to these now I cant find them since SOTV

[edgy plover]

can i get a vid of a good run

i feel with the route in using a 1:24 is pretty good

[scenic surge]

nah I’ll do it now

[edgy plover]

:))

[scenic surge]

my 1:14 one

bad s1 navigation but rounting in general

overshooting the newt was fully accidental

@edgy plover ^

[edgy plover]

damn

is the stun beacon needed

or will they drift too much

and heal

[scenic surge]

stun punch?

[edgy plover]

the pylon i mean

[scenic surge]

normal bronzongs take 1 punch, generally I throw it becaus the mending tkses a bit more than two

[edgy plover]

ah

[scenic surge]

Yeah thankfully the other dudes hit the elite, so the pylon was unnecessary

I also throw it because why not

[solemn fiber]

#265

[edgy plover]

you can make it to newt without a punch

or is the punch supposed to mbe there to go off the map

[scenic surge]

I guess you could

although I like to punch through the crystal so I may be waiting for grapple anyway

[edgy plover]

hmm

also for routing to the teleporter what i use is grapple a rock outcropping and the punch from the momentum from that

stuff might be on cooldown tho with ur routing
