am I safe?

delicate grove
#

did u punch off the bazaar

scenic surge
#

yes

#

good tip thx

delicate grove
#

whats that sound?

#

sounds like leaves rustling or something]

gleaming mist
#

Can you use better UI in prismatic trials or does the mode get disabled

cyan stratus
scenic surge
#

yeah but that's slower than my sum of bests

#

but chances that any of us get sum of bests?

cyan stratus
#

uhh maybe like .5% for me

delicate grove
gleaming mist
#

Jesus Christ like 8 lesser wisps spawned and broke my watch

#

Just completed my first successful run

#

4:31.68

cyan stratus
#

yeah idk about this trial anymore

#

can't get close to my 32.4 s1, my 2nd best is more than .4 off and idk what i'm doing wrong lol

#

that was uhhhhhhh

#

very very fast

cyan stratus
delicate grove
#

@scenic surge time to get a crit

scenic surge
#

no

cyan stratus
#

hmm actually that was off a 32.9 s1 so i still lost a full .5 seconds

scenic surge
#

just time to complete a sum of all bests 🙂

cyan stratus
#

i think someone good at the game can get sub 1:03 railgunner

cyan stratus
scenic surge
#

"if"

#

low chance of that

cyan stratus
#

fine, when you beat me

scenic surge
#

unless when does the trial reset?

scenic surge
cyan stratus
#

trial resets 23h

scenic surge
#

well I mean maybe tommorow I might get a better time

cyan stratus
#

s2 was actually ridiculous

scenic surge
#

Wow

#

impressive

cyan stratus
#

yea i usually have a lot of negative things to say about my runs but that one was not terrible

reef jasper
#

wow

#

really nice

gleaming mist
#

I hate the overloading clay templar

#

Id kill it with a brick

runic crane
#

GUYS I DID IT

#

I got the damn challenge

#

I have Slicing winds now!

low blade
#

Congrats

little star
#

tried on my first hour

#

1:10 moment. 😔

#

cabbage is too good duud

#

how tf xd

#

can u get 1:03, ur too crazy dud

#

just got 1:10 again lol. im just bad 👁️ 👄 👁️

heavy relic
cyan stratus
#

crystal jump on s2 needs a bit of practice though

little star
#

just saw ur vid rn

#

its so aweshome.

#

the way i did s2 was different xd

#

the way u did urs is so clean hot damn

slim lintel
#

glad I didnt run this trial, my dumbass would have spent hours trying to get the launchpad to work

#

kinda feel like I completely lost the ability to find a good route

little star
#

found this funny interaction at the end btw

delicate grove
#

thats the saddest thing ive ever seen

little star
#

relationships be like : 😔

cyan stratus
#

they ended the run in a very unfortunate way multiple times

cyan stratus
#

there's a 3rd crystal you can see from the teleporter, maybe just rushing the 1st and jumping asap is faster

pearl eagle
slim lintel
#

lol

rain walrus
delicate grove
scenic surge
#

@cyan stratus gg

little star
#

and theres me with 1:09 🤓

#

👶

scenic surge
#

i didn't end up recording the run, but it was like this with better slam on the third crystal (equating to a 39.4s s1), and I didn't fail the grapple in void fields

little star
scenic surge
#

no

scenic surge
#

speedy trial

gleaming mist
#

I just died to one of the FUCKING TIME CRYSTALS

#

Wtf is this first stage boss bro

scenic surge
#

ez ethereal

gleaming mist
#

Bro

#

Is there one character they don't instantly kill

scenic surge
#

huntress if your fast, merc with i frames

scenic surge
gleaming mist
#

Nah the chimera

#

This so goofy bro

scenic surge
#

huntress glaive is pretty good, as long as you circle

cyan stratus
scenic surge
#

good railgunner trial today thouh

cyan stratus
#

i wasn't home i'll check it out in a bit

scenic surge
#

barrel nearish to tp has a jade elephant

#

glass

cyan stratus
#

what other artifacts

scenic surge
#

evolution (touhger times) and dissonance

gleaming mist
#

Evo and the one where enemies spawn on any stage

cyan stratus
#

oh tougher times is really fun for speedrunning

scenic surge
#

super duper fun

gleaming mist
#

Wait do they get a tougher times on the second stage

scenic surge
#

yeah

gleaming mist
#

Fucked up

cyan stratus
#

lunar chimera lol

scenic surge
#

oh yeah reaaly easy ethereal

cyan stratus
#

yea looks completely free

dry nexus
#

i got 7 minutes happiesttroll

scenic surge
#

@delicate grove loader?

delicate grove
#

yeah

cyan stratus
scenic surge
#

oh yeah that crystal is a fake

#

nice. How far do you think railgunner can go?

cyan stratus
#

idk i did like 1 run

runic elbow
#

it doesnt

storm gulch
#

i would go for this but im only now unlocking every character in the game thumbsup

#

last time i only got right behind cabbage's time out of luck and it was a pain

#

the crystal hitboxes the shapes the first time doing railgunner movement

#

it was bad

runic elbow
#

larva are wonderful additions to the risk of rain 2 lore

zenith plinth
#

try Survivor_Loader or Survivor_Huntress

scenic surge
#

if no railgunner, loader is faster but much more of a pain

#

i ran huntress

#

huntress capped at around 1:03 tough if you want to go higher, loader

#

loader it's hard actually to complete, because enemys do damage and you're only melee

gleaming mist
#

WTF IS THAT STAGE 2 BOSS

scenic surge
#

one shottable with the runalds band

gleaming mist
#

on what character

zenith plinth
#

1 33

scenic surge
#

huntress (with ballista), loader, and railgunner

zenith plinth
#

first try

scenic surge
#

anything that does like 1000%

gleaming mist
#

ion even have the ballista

scenic surge
zenith plinth
#

ye i use it

slim lintel
#

pretty sure alt m2 gonna be superior on rg this trial

#

I think hitting tele and doing a small boost down to spawn the elephant for a s2 crystal jump has potential but will be hell to pull off

cyan stratus
lyric egret
#

i thought rng wouldn't be something to worry about in prismatic trials

wary depot
#

any arty enjoyers?

pure ledge
#

Trying to get ethereal on this makes me want to kms

#

Fuck the jailer

#

I got 90 on the lb without ethereal

pure ledge
#

The tougher times really is the icing on the cake

night horizon
#

my friend is having a rough time on this prismatic trial

pure ledge
#

Just having to beat it is bad enough

zenith plinth
cyan stratus
#

yea the alt m1 is objectively faster for this, never used it and got this in like 5min

#

1st gonna be hard to beat

little star
#

just hopped in to try again

#

okay back to animating

cyan stratus
#

i wonder what the best s2 route is

little star
#

me too

#

i always feel like i could way better in s2

#

especially between the launch pad and mines

#

i also flopped s1 :(

#

and s2 wtf

#

i just looked back at my recording i fucked up so many stuff

cyan stratus
#

sub 50 very reasonable

#

ok i'll go beat it tomorrow, can't be bothered rn

little star
slim lintel
#

I think elephant strat can 100% do sub 50

#

what time are y'all getting s1 without picking up elephant

little star
#

i average around 20seconds

#

i think i just did a prefect stage 1

#

but fucked up stage 2... i accidently killed a larva at the end

#

which delayed the teleportation...damn.

#

18.79 seconds Stage 1 was the fastest time i got

slim lintel
#

teddy bear is give me anger issues

#

very slow elephant strat

little star
#

god dman

#

yall built different

slim lintel
#

hopoo really went out here and was like "hate crit farming? how about hit farming"

little star
#

did u use the elephant strat?

#

or just normal

slim lintel
#

elephant

little star
#

crazy

slim lintel
#

a decent elephant is upper 22s stage one (could be better but its funky to pull off)

little star
#

im REALLY bad when it comes to charged crystal

slim lintel
#

but the crystal jump makes up for it

little star
#

i tried last pris, couldn't do it

#

im really really bad at it xd

#

im just gonna leave my time as it is :3

slender tartan
#

bruh the void jailer in the end is so annoying

#

especially when u have to nohit it at melee

slim lintel
#

try to time the last hit of your m1 combo to when it spawns to proc the band, then your R and shifts should be able to finish it off easy

slender tartan
#

nvm i did it u need to normally hit the thing first instead of using special

slender tartan
slim lintel
#

commando runner pogmando

#

what a chad

patent barn
#

Good prism trial today?

#

Ooooh glass. I may actually be able to get Ethereal today

scenic surge
#

very good trial

patent barn
#

I'm gonna get that achievement today

patent barn
#

Ok i'm back

#

How tf do i kill a blazing jailer without getting hit

clever surge
#

it spawned on tree lol

clever surge
#

actually possible with loader

#

i guess if played well, it reduce min 7 sec idk

clever surge
inner heath
#

I got hit once qwq

#

FINALLY

scenic surge
clever surge
#

aah i didn't know it

slim lintel
#

tfw jailer dodges 3 shots in a row

slim lintel
#

got it down to a low 51s, havent really had a clean s2 yet

#

and my cleanest s2's have been faulted by teddies

cyan stratus
#

is it really that much faster

tight quiver
#

i could maybe shave another second, two max

#

thats the best i can reasonably get with huntress

slim lintel
#

easily will save 1-2 seconds

cyan stratus
#

what kind of magic are you pulling to get the elephant after tp

slim lintel
#

?

cyan stratus
#

it's like, really hard

slim lintel
#

not really

cyan stratus
#

if it's even possible lol

slim lintel
#

im hitting tp, instantly jumping to the box, kill enemies go back to tp, hit it, go back down and grab elephant

#

it makes your s1 slower

cyan stratus
#

oh nvm

slim lintel
#

I think it's probably capped around 22.3~ s1

#

but I think the crystal jump can make up for it

#

actually you gave me an idea of something to try but I highly doubt it will work

cyan stratus
slim lintel
#

so probably not possible/frame perfect

cyan stratus
#

if it's possible in 25% it's possible in 100%

slim lintel
#

also thats without getting the band

cyan stratus
#

no slowdown but also not hitting tp instantly

slim lintel
#

I've never seen the band spawn there ever

cyan stratus
#

it's looking like it'll be like

#

really hard to do that perfectly though

slim lintel
#

I really hate how stuff thats in the ring area stil gets disabled because the stupid ring growing animation

#

still not landed on tele and a 23s s1

cyan stratus
#

yeah ngl i don't really like this whole elephant thing

slim lintel
#

lol

#

I really have no idea if its better or not

cyan stratus
#

b/c the fastest route is hit 1st chimera -> mine -> hit 2nd -> tp -> go to elephant

#

but it's like, not really possible to pull off in real time

slim lintel
#

thats why I'm using the real boy slow strats

brittle moth
#

could I get some help in the prismatic trials trying to get mercenaries skill

cyan stratus
#

but do you feel good doing the slow strat

#

don't you feel like it would be nice to save some time

slim lintel
#

I feel a lot better than trying to pull off that nonsense you've concocted

cyan stratus
#

yeah for merc skill glass is on so you don't need any items

#

lol what do you mean nonsense, i proved it's possible

slim lintel
#

I aint gonna grind something like that out on a hit farming trial

#

I'm genuinely surprised the crystal dont get the teddies too

#

unless I've just been very lucky

cyan stratus
#

nah they're not enemies

slim lintel
cyan stratus
#

this is the closest i've gotten in realtime, "enter teleporter" prompt is onscreen for 6 frames while i'm holding interact but it didn't actually enter it for some reason

slim lintel
#

doesnt holding E only interact at a set interval? I thought you had figured out spamming E was more effective

cyan stratus
#

spamming interact is more effective but it's really hard to do that at the same time as everything else

#

as in, impossible for me with my current keybinds

slim lintel
#

I mean gg if you actually pull that off and get a good crystal jump

#

but also good luck

cyan stratus
#

i did it

#

now go forth and replicate it

slim lintel
#

yeah lemme spend a bunch of time doing that getting to the jailer and have him dodge the first 3 shots

delicate grove
#

you can frame perfect activate the tp

#

ignore cabbage

slim lintel
#

huh?

#

he never said you couldn't?

delicate grove
#

spamming is not more effective

#

just learn to time it

scenic surge
#

is it really?

cyan stratus
#

you're capped at 60fps aren't you

#

if you're 60fps capped then yeah it's better to just time it

scenic surge
#

i know that sometimes the newt alter popup appeared in the last trial and holding interact didn't catch it

delicate grove
#

im at 144

cyan stratus
#

are you getting constant fps in trials at 144

delicate grove
#

no idea

zenith plinth
#

does holding interact work?

#

i thought you had to spam interact

cyan stratus
#

hmm nvm it's actually not as hard as i thought it was

scenic surge
#

i swear the void jailer has a 50% block chance

cyan stratus
#

it does

cyan stratus
slim lintel
#

I uh...didnt even know there was a crystal there I've been going to the other one

#

this one

cyan stratus
#

???????????????????????

#

is the other one good

slim lintel
#

uh idk I'm gonna have to test the one you're using might be way better

cyan stratus
#

you crash into a pole 95% of the time

#

have fun with it

slim lintel
#

cant you do a hook around it by spamming left clicks to the side

cyan stratus
#

doesn't really work that way

slim lintel
#

like if you turned about 45 degress to the left here and shot 2-3 times I feel like it'd veer your towards the tele fairly well

cyan stratus
#

maybe, try it

cyan stratus
slim lintel
cyan stratus
#

lol yeah you can

#

it looks pretty hard but like 30min of practice makes it doable

slim lintel
#

you overestimate how good I am greatly

cyan stratus
#

if i can do it 4 times in a row you can do it once

#

you have much more leeway than you think

ruby knot
#

does anyone know good seeds for mercs unlock

slim lintel
#

I think our routes to the tele are really similar actually, yours may be marginally faster if you actually land in the right spot

cyan stratus
#

you should really go for the tp -> elephant strat though i think your s2 is much faster

#

could get a good time maybe

slim lintel
#

I might try it but idk

rain walrus
slim lintel
#

@cyan stratus your crystal is waaaaay faster. I've gotten to where I can basically land right on the tele. Got to tele at 36s with slow elephant strat but missed the crystals

slim lintel
#

alright I tried for over an hour to do fast elephant and I couldnt even get remotely close

#

my brain does not work half fast enough to pull that off

cyan stratus
#

lol send me your s2

cyan stratus
slim lintel
#

I keep getting the right angle but like no distance now

#

you can land right on it but it's very hard

cyan stratus
#

yeah uhh

#

gonna go ahead and assume i'll crash into pillar 9/10 times i try that

#

that actually works pretty well but that far crystal snipe is annoying

slim lintel
#

yeah

#

the time I landed right on it I actually landed on the other side of it

#

not sure how I did it

cyan stratus
#

20.1 runald+elephant s1

#

forcing you to do the strat now

rain walrus
#

who the hell has number one if the number 3 time is that optimized

cyan stratus
#

this guy

rain walrus
#

-1:57

#

yeah that seems reasonable

slim lintel
#

yeah I aint doin that GG

cyan stratus
#

no the s2 was super scuffed you can beat it for sure

slim lintel
#

I'm not learning fastephant

#

you cant teach old dogwater new tricks

cyan stratus
#

it's satisfying to pull off and not that hard you should give it a real try

slim lintel
#

I did give it a real try

cyan stratus
#

gotta be a bit more to the side so you have an angle on the 2nd chimera and aim the mine directly onto the teleporter middle

slim lintel
#

my brain is broken, my first like 10 attempts I would shoot the first one, flick place the mine and flick back to the one I just shot and shoot its dead body for some reason

cyan stratus
#

hmm needs some work then but you can do it

slim lintel
#

if it wasnt for the teddies maybe I give it some more but knowing if I finally pull it off and get a good run it has a high chance of getting teddied demotivates me

cyan stratus
#

my 47 got teddied

cyan stratus
little star
#

its without getting the equipment though

cyan stratus
#

getting equipment doesn't lose any time though

little star
#

oh shi u right

cyan stratus
#

i'm most likely done with this trial though even though ~43 is reasonable

#

maybe even low 42

delicate grove
#

42.22 is wr hehe

little star
#

I think i recroded it

cyan stratus
#

4.58 is wr

little star
#

lemme find it.

#

gimme 5 mins im in a game atm

#

18.78 iirc

#

or 79

delicate grove
#

damn you got skills newtPog

little star
#

with combined skills and planning, cabbage will win all.

#

and forgotwho, yall crazy

#

im just 👶 mode.

delicate grove
#

dont be cringe like them and say you are bad

little star
#

😔

delicate grove
#

maybe you could do double aerial grapple reset on s2

#

with those 180s

cyan stratus
#

hmm yeah i thought of mine->special->mine but didn't think it would save any time, nice strat

#

well i have no doubt you can do the elephant strat pretty easily

#

you should go get that 42

little star
#

i am HORRIBLE when it comes to crystal jumping

#

i dont even bother 😔

cyan stratus
#

i mean my s2 was pretty terrible

#

could probably mistake it with my monitor being off

clever surge
#

for my perspective, it's not cringe, say what you feel but never stop to trying

scenic surge
#

kazap did u beat my time?

clever surge
#

yeah

scenic surge
#

nice

delicate grove
#

its pretty cringe when its some of the best players constantly saying they are bad

little star
#

when it comes to skills/timings, im very bad, aka the crystal jump boost mine thing

delicate grove
#

stop it

little star
#

im more of the curious type of ror2

clever surge
#

lol

little star
#

like the bugs n weird stuff on rg.

delicate grove
#

give yourself some credit ffs

little star
#

like how she can negate fall dmg instead of migitate.

#

its a very weird bug

slim lintel
#

we dont deserve credit until we're perfect and we've never been perfect

little star
#

^

#

👁️ 👄 👁️

clever surge
#

i agree

delicate grove
cyan stratus
#

it's just bad in comparison to what could be, not what others do, there aren't enough people playing trials

little star
#

🤓

cyan stratus
#

if trials were very popular we would be bad compared to others

scenic surge
#

would u tho

slim lintel
cyan stratus
#

100%

delicate grove
#

that cool, everyone understands what potential and improvement is, but it doesnt mean 90% of the convo has to be 'im bad' 'no im bad'

little star
#

(theres always a better person out there) Sunglas

cyan stratus
#

like every so often some random shows up and beats everyone and then leaves

scenic surge
#

worse maybe, but not bad

little star
#

fr

clever surge
slim lintel
#

get a hardcore hl1 runner or something in here and they'd cream us

little star
#

hahaha

cyan stratus
#

like take @scenic surge for example, been playing the game for like half a week and one of the best trials players

scenic surge
#

mhm half a week

delicate grove
#

yeah probably because hes not spending 99% of his time complaining about how bad he is

cyan stratus
#

i complain in between runs, i need a break every now and then

slim lintel
#

silence loader main

cyan stratus
#

yeah where's your railgunner run this trial

#

bet wig can't even do elephant strat

little star
#

remember when rex was the pris trial goto? happiesttroll

cyan stratus
#

still is every now and then

delicate grove
#

whats wrong with playing the character i enjoy

little star
#

yo what if they

#

have like a category survivor filter and see leaderboard for each of em

cyan stratus
#

yo i don't think that one's been suggested before

#

nice suggestion

little star
#

devs out here dont care about pris trials moment. 😔

#

jkjk

scenic surge
#

i mean they'd care more if more people played

delicate grove
#

cabbage sarcasm 🤮

cyan stratus
#

.

little star
#

hahahah XD

slim lintel
cyan stratus
#

wait that was 3 years ago

clever surge
#

why can't we scroll up and down the leaderboards

little star
#

3 years ago moment.

delicate grove
little star
#

pris trial gamers out here starving for content

Sadge

slim lintel
cyan stratus
#

yeah it was either bad name / self plug

scenic surge
little star
#

👁️ 👄 👁️

#

ngl the routes and strats are pretty cool

#

or the onces iv experienced so far or seen from u guys

#

u guys are aweshome

slim lintel
#

honestly now that wig has pointed it out, it just makes me want to say I'm bad even more

little star
cyan stratus
#

y'know, being bad isn't all that bad, since you have something to work towards

#

if you were perfect things might feel a bit hollow, idk

#

might have to ask wig about that one

delicate grove
#

?

little star
#

3 years or ror2...getting old

slim lintel
#

yeah wheres ror3 lazy devs

cyan stratus
#

i wanted to upload this since the strat for getting both elephant and runald on the 1st stage is pretty cool. the time window to actually be able to buy the equipment barrel is very small so you need some good timing with the mine

the 2nd stage on this run is very unoptimized, i lost maybe 4-5 seconds from a perfect run, but the movement tech i...

▶ Play video
#

just play better on s2

little star
#

is it possible to land exactly on the teleporter?

cyan stratus
#

yes

scenic surge
#

does the band need to drop in the directio of the elephatn

cyan stratus
#

no

rain walrus
cyan stratus
#

i don't know the rules

scenic surge
#

yeah it is the first time

rain walrus
#

ok good

slim lintel
#

the cabbage mp4 is for when he posts the ethereal not speedrun

rain walrus
#

ah

#

sorry

slim lintel
#

I miss the deep fried cabbage runs

little star
slim lintel
#

fran560ChenAngy embed fail

little star
#

2020 😭

cyan stratus
#

lmao

#

that 1% crit preon one was pretty good

#

lemme see if i still have it

#

doesn't look like it, sad

charred dew
#

finally got ethereal today

round kiln
charred dew
#

yeah, what was your strat?

round kiln
#

plow through as quickly as possible, no looting items, animation cancel with secondary while attacking behind and jumping on the last boss works wonder

charred dew
#

ah

#

i speedran it, and only picked up watch, crystal, crowbar and band

round kiln
#

the first stage is a breeze since you can special the two and dash attack through the last one

charred dew
#

the fire void jailer sucks though

round kiln
#

you can kill the jailer really quickly with the animation cancel, just secondary as the third normal attack is about to proc

#

so you cancel the third attack animation and attack with secondary right away

charred dew
#

used focused/band + evicerate and killed him that way

round kiln
#

it takes about two cycle of the regular attack with the secondary and the special to kill that damn lobster from behind, it should take like 5-6 seconds 😛

charred dew
#

:) he was lvl2

round kiln
#

you can time it too so as soon as he spawn he gets hit with the third regular attack and secondary

#

so as soon as he comes up he's already at like 70% health

charred dew
#

im gonna say the teddy bear killed so many of my runs

round kiln
#

the little fire wisps was the most annoying thing for me, so many random hit when i was running through stage 2

hoary wedge
#

Yeah they are definitely on some aim bot

round kiln
#

the most annoying thing is when you are out of range of their little laser so you cant anticipate dodging out

hoary wedge
#

I can make it to the last boss, but something always hits me mid-fight

#

Yeah I just try to dash out as soon as I see them

round kiln
#

so they chunk like only 3 health

hoary wedge
#

My strat for the second level was doing the crystal off to left from spawn, going to the ledge one, then to the cliff jump, destroying the final, and being at teleporter

#

But then there is a band of wisps and void enemies high tailing it after

round kiln
#

If i see wisps in front of me i usually dash attack them so i can dash again away

#

the more i get rid of the better i think

hoary wedge
#

Yee, but when there's a bunch encircling I figure I might as well try to run down the boss before they get there

#

I think there should be enough time

round kiln
hoary wedge
#

Dang I gotta try that

I need to learn how to animation cancel better, i didn't even know you can animation cancel the third attack using dash

hoary wedge
#

Yeah that's going kinda ham

round kiln
#

thats how he was able to kill two crystals with three dashes

hoary wedge
#

Ahh

#

I make it to the Jailer but only get him to 50%

#

I think I just gotta get the empowered m1 down

round kiln
#

if you preemptively hit him with the m1 3rd attack animation cancel with m2 from behind it will take a huge amount of his health

#

as soon as he spawns

hoary wedge
#

Ah ok

#

Do you know what he does that damages on his spawn?

#

Might just be the fire

#

GOT IT!

round kiln
sly drum
#

you succeed if you see enemy getting hit by the dash also getting "exposed"

clever surge
#

wig i give up bro hahahhaha

#

congratulations

#

maybe i can do better one more time but it's hard so i don't wanna

delicate grove
#

ggs

#

i accidentally boss skipped s1 twice

clever surge
#

oh i don't use boss skip

#

but i use punch one crystal with m1

#

sometimes you don't die

delicate grove
#

i dont use it either, it just happened a few times

clever surge
#

ahh i understand

delicate grove
#

you could stand on the tp and do it but it hard

clever surge
#

and also i use pylon

#

for kill one crystal with shift

#

in start of s1

delicate grove
#

thats cool, i like when 2 builds get the same time

clever surge
#

yeah i hit teleport in 22 sec same

#

sometimes 23

#

but end of s1 is 28 sec i am sure about 28 sec

cyan stratus
#

any railgunners

wise dagger
#

Today’s would be so good for getting the mercenary: ethereal unlock if not for the fact that it’s just horde of many bosses and the fact that you just get sniped by void barnacles in stage one

scenic surge
#

pylon is faster

#

i forgot about this trial and only ran it last 10 mins

delicate grove
#

evidently not faster

tight quiver
#

why was it only one?

scenic surge
#

the other guys blocked it

digital pelican
#

yay bug kin

#

wish me luck

weak canyon
#

I PLACED 40

#

that was a really fast run for me too

digital pelican
#

thank you cabag

#

Finally

#

That crowbar 3d printer in the first stage was pretty nice

weak canyon
#

Eh. I didn’t pick up a single item

slender tartan
#

wait does the huntress nohit rallypoint works in this one? (And do u have to nohit the first stag too?)

weak canyon
#

I don’t think the first stage counts

#

But I would try it I guess

scenic surge
#

and you don’t have to no hit stage one

slender tartan
#

nice

scenic surge
#

with preon and kin this is a very good time for it

zenith plinth
#

zinq what's your time

#

i just did 2 runs and got 1:43 oh i forgot about preon again

scenic surge
#

uh

#

1:09 I think

#

Pretty sure the newt alter is considerably faster

zenith plinth
#

oh

#

and i forgot about altar again

#

where is it

scenic surge
#

It’s here

zenith plinth
#

oh ty

scenic surge
#

pylon might be faster, because faster void fields and it can kill the beetles, but slam is also good

zenith plinth
#

i only got 1:43

#

1:29 hehe

#

why does wig look like that

scenic surge
#

because he decided to change his style

#

it’s safe to assume he is always loader

zenith plinth
#

what does that mean

#

oh is that a character

scenic surge
#

yeah

#

but it was changed with cheats

scenic surge
zenith plinth
#

i have never seen that character before

dusty fox
#

shes a secret character you turn into upon getting all heresy items

zenith plinth
#

i’ll never understand this game

limber totem
#

hey gang i'm trying to get that merc achievement where you take no damage on the prismatic trial, any tips?

weak canyon
#

That’s how I got it

limber totem
#

ah yes i scrolled up and saw it, thank you!

weak canyon
#

I placed 40

#

My first PT too

keen fjord
#

So let me get this straight. There are people that use a cheat engine to mod their char avatars. On a mode that hardly anyone plays. With no reward besides the fact that there’s a leaderbord that others can view?

weak canyon
#

Idk

limber totem
weak canyon
#

Yeah that’s what I did

weak canyon
#

That green was the one that spawned from the tele second stage and I ran into to it

delicate grove
scenic surge
#

then it becomes unsafe

delicate grove
#

Smh thinking i use cheat engine

#

Cheat engine for scrubs

shut bridge
#

The current switch seed is PERFECT for ethereal

#

I got it on my like second try

clever surge
#

this trial is not enjoyable for loader because you know i think there's only one route for best time

slim lintel
#

theres only ever 1 route

cyan stratus
#

yeah like fast elephant

limber totem
#

achieved ethereal

#

took me way too long lmao

#

but it is done

clever surge
#

slam

#

actually doesn't matter which pylon or slam

#

i am not using very well

scenic surge
#

pylon probably easier

clever surge
#

i mean it's not gonna make big time difference

#

i am talking for my route

scenic surge
#

hmm

clever surge
#

slam helps me a little bit in s1 maybe pylon helps for quick reach the end of void portal

#

i mean last portal

#

idk maybe you can think more fast route. I didn't bother much

scenic surge
#

nah seems like the pylon void fields is not that good

scenic surge
#

anyone elses trials not showing the leaderboard?

unborn coral
cyan stratus
#

if you're running a modded client, that's why

unborn coral
#

No mods ever installed. Restarted, same thing. Weird. When I click Prismatic Trials, I see the Leaderboard but it's blank with the default "You must complete Prismatic Trail to see the time of other users." and then after about 5 seconds, that box shows the horizontal lines that would be where user times are but the the message stays there and there are no names/times. Hopefully fixed in the next 44 hours. I have a kid to beat (time-wise, not literally).

tight quiver
unborn coral
# tight quiver i can't see it, yeah

So weird. At least I can take pictures of my time to prove that I beat my kid. We have quite the competition going and overall, I'm not winning. Fun though. Hope this is temporary.

cursed image

zenith plinth
#

Took like an hour of trial and error to get the unlock though it was such a pain

zenith plinth
#

get the vermin lined up and use your dash you can kill large swaths of them quickly

weak canyon
#

I think the time saved is actually helpful getting past vermin before they spawn

#

But this was literally the first trial I really attempted to get ethereal, and I know they weren’t all that easy

weak canyon
#

When I had to wait for CD and it took 10 seconds I would usually get overrun by vermin

jagged dust
#

How long do we have until the next seed?

void laurel
#

Should say on the menu

slender tartan
#

ez claps

weak canyon
#

I better try that before the seed changes

slender tartan
#

its actually pretty easy if you're not trying to speedrun

#

since you can turn all of your white items into crowbars with the crowbar printer

#

the shrine gives a tougher times so dont turn that into crowbars tho

#

and then the void item gives you 2 charges of special

gleaming orchid
#

118/118 achievements!

jagged dust

Finally got ethereal

I hate this mode lmao

I'm just happy to never have to stress over losing 1 HP again

Idk how this is so many peoples last achievement

#

I just did it at 60%

i got it just bc i wanted SW

most of the acheivements i need to get now are masteries and artifacts

Yup

Also quite a few unlocks on characters I don’t play

heavy relic

So it’s understandable

weak canyon

I mean

#

It took me 20 minutes the first time I ever tried

heavy relic
#

Roger that

gleaming orchid
#

It took me (complete guess here) about 70 total tries

#

Over multiple weeks

#

This swarms one I took around 15 tries to finally beat

#

Basically the strategy was turn everything except the focus crystal into crowbars, and use the anime sword dash to just kill everything immediately

#

Then don't make any foolish mistakes

#

I really enjoyed mapping out my strategy for this one

#

Way less frustrating dealing with exclusively melee enemies

#

I got close on the glass one recently, but that alone was half my total attempts

twin sky
#

the trial on monday, i got it on my third attempt, took me like a week total, and a large chunk of that was waiting for a good trial

gleaming orchid
#

It's still a wildly more difficult challenge than any other unlock

If it was like, 90% or 95% HP it wouldn't have been my last achievement

alt m2 would save a ton of time if we can find a clip through the wall on S2

clever surge

omg

#

yeah s2 takes lots of time

slim lintel

I did run up in to the corner where the wall meets the cliff face and got a clip in to the cliff on my first try, but the wall extends all the way through for some reason

#

and then I wasnt able to replicate the clip a single time

clever surge
#

bro sorry for my failure my english is end up here. I didn't understand. My eng is not good. You can capture a video if you want

#

actually i didn't understand which place you explain

scenic surge
#

because crystals are a pain

hearty gust
#

Super urgent quesion

#

Does getting shaped glass disqualify a run for mecernary: ethereal

#

Ans does taking shield damage count for ethereal

rain walrus
#

no and yes

hearty gust
#

Cause current prismatic has command and a bazar

#

So, if I can make it through first area without damage, I can get transcendence and shaped glass

#

And biss of first area is mushroom elites

#

So get giatines

#

I can do this!

#

Question, does taking damage while you have transcendence ruin an eternal attempt

rain walrus
#

turn whites into brooches, barrier damage doesnt count

hearty gust
#

Ethereal

#

Oh. This is going to be a little harder than I expected then

#

So I am gonna stack teddies and cleavers

#

And I guess grab sharper glass and purity

rain walrus
#

brooch is more consistent than teddy

hearty gust
#

I guess

#

Thank you for the advice

rain walrus
#

merc can get p fast kills early on, practice and move fast

hearty gust
#

Yeah.

#

The issue is that the bombs are also on

rain walrus
#

blinding assault will help, dash kill and then dash again

hearty gust
#

So on the overloading beetle Queen fight, I am gonna have to dip once or twice.

hearty gust
#

?

#

No I mean, with shaped glass, I kill a lot then there are bombs everywhere.

use only one bomb for last crystal in s1

slim lintel

yeah I was doing that

#

my s2 was trash

clever surge
#

there is no difference just play fast

#

deal more damage asap

#

use the bombs before boss spawn

#

its about gameplay

delicate grove
#

can you boss skip was phase ability/ grenade?

#

that would be cool

clever surge

yeah it would be cool but i don't know is it possible

#

its very hard to timing

#

yeah it's very hard because i can't do clip the wall everytime

slim lintel

closer you are to the pot/wall when you start the slide the better

scenic surge

Phase Round can boss skip

if anyone has any tips i could certainly do with

That tesla looks really important, keep in mind cabbage is trained in the art of ethereal, so he can do it super fast, time is important, but at the same time, more items can really help, so definately loot slightly more than he did

you can crystal bounce s1 for speeed

is it still same trial?

cyan stratus

no

ethereal not bad with the brooch printer s2

#

oh and s1

cyan stratus
#

why would you print a brooch when you can just not get hit

scenic surge
#

that's true

#

easy boss 1, and the gunner turret by the tp can almost take out the vagrant on it's own

cyan stratus

it can at lv5

or if you don't let a beetle beat it up probably

eughhh fuck I probably shouldn't have tried to go for slicing winds on a sacrifice trial

random chance up the ass on when the white would drop so i could get a topaz brooch for safer passage

#

but, huzzah

#

Just farmed in the area near the Topaz printer, those two turrets are nice for taking attention while enemies run to their death

#

When I finally got to second stage just did the Turret 1 v 1 strat and huzzah

if you want ethereal just wait for glass trial 😐

it makes everything 5x easier

i don't like the alt m2 enouhg to test

i hate it too but it's kinda necessary for these

unfortunately the s2 fight is impossible so can't get a good run this trial

unless you purposely stall to get 4 imps instead of like 7

you're getting 7?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0t-uV-_6as would be faster if i could aim but the new s1 strat i used is pretty neat

jump pads and railgunner make for some pretty interesting mobility opportunities. i use the alternate m2 since it's a trial with glass enabled, it works better for the crystals and the 2nd boss

i messed up the 2nd stage tp landing and fight, but the 2nd and 3rd crystals on the 1st stage are really hard to hit so this time is pretty decent

▶ Play video
#

the snipes are actually hard this trial, and combined with the hitboxes being bad it's much harder to hit those than it looks

ah yes, the snipes are hard

they actually are, may look easy but the 2nd one especially on s1

yea they are very very hard

I’m assuming no bazaar though, because it’s in a semi-annoying position
