      Hey, Woolie, you know that one monster that is just claypots and have that machine gun thingie? I meet with it in the desert stage. Can you please inform me if this is a bug? No mod, multiplayer, me and another player. We did play on all of the difficulties, but still encountered it. I only want to give the information so you can inform all other fans of it being a bug or feature.

    Three things i think you missed:
    -The templars also spawn on stage 2 sometimes and their gattlin gun has massive knockback in combination to a slow down effect what makes it fairly hard getting out of the attack if you dont see it coming
    - The elder lemurians got a huge debuff on accuracy in close range, so if you stand by their tail they will pretty sure miss you
    -The malachite elites stop your health regen for some time and you evey hit procs a new "status" of corruption

  • @27wootwoot

    Not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but one thing that has helped me dodge Imp Overlord spikes and Elder Lemurian fireballs if you're lacking in movement or jumps is to jump right before they shoot, and the projectiles will sail harmlessly above you. They still piss me off, but it helps.

    • @elgatochurro
      @elgatochurro Před 4 lety +1

      Ysh that's good, another thing is, if you have the speed or height, you can dash past or over then and theyll do their melee attacks, making them stand nicer and still
      Careful with thr imp overlord though, itll start pounding the ground as soon as it thinks it has you

    Personally 90% of my runs get ended by malachite elites. When they are in numbers the spikes they spawn greatly limit your movement options and if you just do one mistake you're pretty much dead since you can't heal anymore. But i guess it doesn't apply to the early game

    Good video! Are you planning on doing a multiplayer video? The biggest issue I really struggle with in multiplayer is deaths in the group. Usually whoever dies is usually left behind in terms of items and is stuck in a cycle of getting weaker and weaker as time goes on usually to the point of never being able to catch up. The run is essentially over for them once they die and it isn't very fun to just watch your friends play for the rest of the run.

    • @Woolie
      @Woolie  Před 5 lety

      The info here applies to multiplayer, as well. Monsoon is pretty rough in a group because everyone has to be on the same page and, you know, not die, as you mentioned. Focus on split-farming and only coming together to charge the teleporter

      Same. Especially with 1.0 now up, it really gives me the feeling that Rainstorm is the intended experience of Risk of Rain 2. Monsoon is just too much of a gamble. Since 1.0, I feel like the only way you can reasonably make it either past the final boss or to the celestial gate requires such a specific setup that it takes away any sense of accomplishment from doing well. In Rainstorm, you're at least given room to breathe and I can reliably win a rainstorm run with most characters that the final boss doesn't just friggin' wave his middle finger at (Hello Acrid).

    one trick when fighting multiple stone titans is that their big, bulky stone selves actually body-block titan lasers for you, similarly to how two turrets beside each other will eat each other's shots. even if you end up far away from a lone stone titan and it starts charging its laser, the crouch it immediately does to use its pillar attack allows you to get behind it and it'll body-block its own laser.
    with regular golems, one interesting cheese I've been using is that most of the time if you get directly behind it they'll spam melee attacks without actually turning to face you, allowing you to safely deal with it if your damage or movement speed is lacking

      Jayden Potter strange, the angle is finicky but I’ve had it work before. thinking back on it I was moreso getting close to underneath the titan? like next to the titan while it’s crouching for the pillar of rock attack. I haven’t tried making it block itself straight out of lasering, it was always after it started kneeling

Maybe even which items/survivors are better or worse in groups rather than solo. Thanks a bunch, keep up the great work!!

    • @marciamakesmusic
      @marciamakesmusic Před 3 lety

      Engi is probably the best co op character because he can make use of unconventional items that other survivors would just scrap, like Fungus and Nkuhana's. Bubble shield and constant healing zones from fungus turrets can be a big help.
      Artificer for similar reasons. Doesn't need attack speed or bleed items, so you can funnel them all into the other characters. Does strong damage early on, so it's good for saving time early when money is tight and you can't be hunting chests for 10 minutes.
      Captain is also great in co op. You can take healing orbital (which scales better) or you can take the hacking, which helps get off early stages quickly but kinda falls off later (it basically becomes a free legendary chest cause by the 2nd loop you have more than enough money per stage).
      No one is made worse by co op.

Only a few things i need to mention though. For newer players, telling them to stand right next to the Imp Overlord will just get them killed as that ground slam is bs and does a crazy amount of damage.

    never really had an issue with any boss except Grovetenders now. His chain attack is literally like a 16 pellet shotgun blast thats hard to not get hit by. every boss has a tell tale when theyre attacking, idk if im just bad, but i cant seem to tell when he attacks and it fucks me up. idk if every chain is a seperate instance of damage or not bc i never seem to survive if i manage to get hit and one shot protection doesnt seem to help me in that case. also im glad im not insane i knew monsoon definitely got harder.

  • @TemperanceL2
    @TemperanceL2 Před 4 lety

    God, brass contraptions are usually not the worst ennemies, but once you get some of them elites, the moment they hit, your hp MELT so hard, and that's why once you get them to spawn in elite form they definitely tend to be the non boss monsters I fear the most. Like, they're usually not that scary but the moment you dodge poorly you better be ready to get SPIKE BALL'ED, and either quickly have a way to recover or you just die. It's like playing dodge ball with someone who usually can't aim but has some serious strenght, so they just rely on repetition until you make a mistake.

      focus down the largest non-boss threats first, such as lesser wisps & golems, then turn your attention to the boss itself. this will leave you MUCH more space to maneuver around.
      other than that, just use the classic "run in a circle and constantly jump"

    i don’t agree with the fact that Clay Dunestriders can basically generate health out of thin air when they use their health siphon on another clay dunestrider. They just keep healing up and both of them gain HP at the same time which is out of thin air.

    • @skeletonking2588
      @skeletonking2588 Před 5 lety

      It's the same principle as with Rex. They will drop down and apply a leaching beam on anything closeby. If it hits something, they will constantly heal from it. The more things get hit, the more they will heal.

    • @ChickbewProductions
      @ChickbewProductions Před 5 lety

      Skeleton King i get that concept but what is bullshit is that the dunestriders can siphon health from each other alone and both heal back to 75% hp

    • @ChickbewProductions
      @ChickbewProductions Před 5 lety

      Skeleton King which if you think about it, that should be impossible and the hp is coming out of thin air unless i’m actually dumb as shit and there’s an explanation how they can extract and gain the same exact amount of HP off each other without losing everything that is extracted from the other dunestrider. I guess somehow it can be that the dunestriders have a defensive buff, but shouldn’t that mean that the other dunestrider taking the health away should be gaining less? it still doesn’t make sense because they both regain their hp from siphoning from each other

    Do you have any tips on how to beat aurelio in the early game in the first "time frame"?

    Is there anything i could do better in these situations or just pray for better items?

      I managed to pull it off on the first day of the update with REX - I got lucky and had a gold portal on the first loop. His early game damage with M2 spam is enough to get the job done with minimal items, so maybe just spam REX and hope to get a portal on 1st loop
      Otherwise, not much you can do, unfortunately

    Could you give some tips for multiplayer? My friends and I can barely survive on Monsoon after even stage 3, unless we get super lucky on some drops. Maybe you could share the most consistent strategies that you know of for multiplayer runs. I feel like the Stage 4 around 15 minutes really does not work in multiplayer at all. Unless you're throwing all the items into one person. Everyone is just too weak to fight the bosses/not enough movement to stay alive by stage 3. I thing just discussing some reliable strategies might help a lot of people. Like, is it just hands down better to feed one player, or better to farm early stages until you are all comfortable enough to move on, or one player gets a lucky drop to carry? I just really think rushing stage 4 with 2 or more players is inconsistent, even less than inconsistent. In my experience it never works. Unless of course you're just throwing all items on one person, but then it's not really fun for everyone. I feel like you're always behind the curve in multiplayer for some reason. Wish the devs would address the item issues in multiplayer, because this issue directly stems from there just not being enough items to go around.

We might all be able to get workable builds, but never at the same speed as a single player executively deciding what is or isn't worth the time as quickly as they can think
