For anyone here that doesn't play risk of rain or hasn't unlocked the diablo strike yet: that quip at the end of the video wasn't an exaggeration, it actually does deal 40,000% of your normal damage. it's also one of the only abilities in the game to have friendly fire, in case your friend stole that one *really* nice item
As an achievement hunter, I'd love to see more of this type of video for other trophies that are categorised as "impossible" when in reality, they're just tedious.
yeah i found out real quick that time meant almost nothing as long as you know movement tech (running in circles, literally it) as long as you full loot every stage, scrap the useless items and get better ones in the bazzar etc edit for grammer
Well, to be fully fair, the context for that rule was advice for newer players. So it was focused on newer people who would take too long on a stage trying to fool loot and don't fully understand item management. Heck, even the guy himself who said it even says he doesn't fully follow it. But now most people are better and understand mechanics and the sorts deeper than ever so things changed. Well, anyways, I was probably too wordy for this little thing but felt like saying it all. Tldr: People got good, and things changed.
@@ethansitton565 I only started playing a week ago and was confused why everyone was telling me to only spend 5 minutes in a stage when the difficulty seems to spike faster when I do that.
@stinkypitz0005 Yeah it does. If memory serves, the difficulty gets a 1.15x multiplier per stage, so the scaling can get pretty rough if items are poorly managed. Which plays into the 5 minute idea, limit the difficulty of the last stages since having a solid item combo by stage 5 is a chance that becomes better when you know when to scrap, print, or recycle to get better stuff for the character. I've done both and all I can say is that there are other merits. Five minute stages gets games done fast for eclipse grinding while the proper looting is more consistent, which is much more needed on weaker survivors or ones I dislike playing properly.
i got the achievement with a bunch of stuff i shouldnt have gotten and still got it first try after watching the video pure skill i totally didnt get lucky as fuck
If you're gonna get a red and already have 9 glasses and a scythe you might as well get a laser scope to double all your damage, whittle him faster and not have to take him all the way down to fuckall hp to kill him with the beacon.

The community never collectively said 5 mins or less, just Woolie, and he said it as general frame of reference for new players who don't know to quickly gather loot and he himself said he doesn't follow that rule(the vase incident especially). Once you get better at the game you can afford to take more time to get the items but at the beginning new players might spend like ten minutes combing the wrong part of the stage and only get like 2 items to face a potentially unfamiliar boss that they then get clapped by because of scaling through levels and time, whereas if they hit teleporter at 5 minutes collecting the two chests on the way, they are in for a much easier time.
@rod0fdiscord woolie said it like one time, and the "rule" was simply so that newer players could learn the game quicker and once people got better at the game they stopped strictly following the rule and instead grew into thier own playstyle and pace
4:05 small brain strats. The true optimal strategy is to get as many items as possible so you scale yourself faster than the enemies. since tp events increase the speed at which enemies scale and you dont increase your own power you'll get outscaled eventually.
Gotta say the time thing was dead wrong. Items make you strong way faster than time makes you weak. A good example of this is if you fight the boss on the first stage immediately before picking up any items, it's gonna be tough and slow. Time is definitely a factor but not something you need to worry about nearly as much as you think.
also time is a non-factor on artifact of command: the ability to choose every item makes you scale so much faster than the enemies. The picking up a topaz/squid argument also makes no sense since you are LITERALLY choosing your items
true alot of time you can get that 1 item that lift up your run to insane levels. What he said was true and always was the meta but since printers and scrappers exist now it's not anymore
My best run went on for 268m I had over 1k items and I lagged the game so bad it seemed like it crashed multiple times when I killed 1 thing because of all the aoe stuff I had made it to stage 24 before I decided to end it with a fate unknown
Ironically I cleared this achievement last night in my quest to 100% the game again, I got it on my second try. Forgot the name of the artifact, but the one that doubles enemies but lowers their HP made it so easy, since you can kill either mithrix and it counts. I stacked a bunch of crowbars, grabbed full crit and one shaped glass and popped him. Additionally, my brain peaked, you can get the REX achievement of healing for 1000 hp at once by just going to the bazaar with the leech equipment (heals for a percentage of damage dealt) and buying like 4+ shaped glass. Just activate the equipment and rightclick the shopkeeper. I laughed so hard.
It gets even dumber when you look at the REX: Full of life and see that only 6% of the Steam playerbase owns it and then consider that it can literally be earned using a red and an equiment item: Foreign Fruit + Rejuvenation Rack. You'd even only need a total HP of 500. Otherwise grab more Rejuv rack or Infusions to boost the HP you are healing with the fruit.
@@baumpaladin a thing to consider with that though is that many people don't achievement hunt or play rex, and many people like myself play exclusively monsoon with no artifacts making tons of achievements like the one in the video for example much much harder, of course the shaped glass and big leech is pretty doable even without command but the 6% is really not that crazy at all
I got the achievement by getting shaped glass, tougher times, artifact of command, double enemy, the artifact of glass, and the artifact that spawns one type of enemy and PRAYED TO GOD the level didn’t spawn any wisp
@@neosasake5980 Either you suffer in exchange for your personal pride or you turn to the dark side. It's an unfair achievement requirement by all means. Some people just cheated and felt no shame, because it's the only unreasonable one out of all. But if you don't feel like it, sure wait god knows how long to even get the right artifacts to have the sliver of a chance.
Remember this though: Without pain, and without madness, you’ll never gain anything, now get fucking ready dumbass, and waste about 30-100 hours in a span of 1 week But in seriousness, have a fun time playing it, suggestion, if you want a late game character, play either engineer, the mech or well… captain
For those who haven’t played risk of rain 2 you’d have to unlock the character he played and most of the items he used before you can actually get the Diablo strike
3:48 this is completely wrong, as long as you're looting efficiently to get every chest your items and levels will outscale the monsters regardless of what difficulty you're playing on (this does not mean go slow, you should be spending 5-9 minutes (depends on size of stage) fully looting a stage for the best results)
Fun Fact: Getting hit by your own diablo strike can have it’s uses. If you go to the base of the tree on the moon and let it hit you, the knock back can send you all the way to the top. Skipping the stage and letting you have another item rather than a vase or chrysalis
My favourite Strat is just getting a bunch of movement speed and wax quail to bounce myself off the ship bubble. You then get shot into the sky and can get onto the arena with a few additional hops
Great guide, but four things to mention are one, do not worry about time. If you are picking up items, especially if you are playing command where you have pretty much a guarantee to get a god build every time, your power will scale much faster than the difficulty does. Two, captain's beacon procs brilliant behemoth and the explosion from it can kill mythrix. If this happens you will not get the achievement. Some reds you can pick up instead are laser scope (essentially free +50% damage if you have 100 percent crit), headstompers (broken damage, best utilized with movement items that make trimping easy and a stun beacon equipped as your other beacon), interstellar desk plant (monster tooth on crack, insane healing even with one stack), symbiotic scorpion (better shattering justice), rejuv rack (in combination with corpsebloom gives you 8x healing due to weird item interaction), soulbound catalyst (extra mobility if you have your eccentric vase equipped), and dio's best friend (nice to have in case after all of this you somehow mess up) Third, titanic knurl is a shit item and a complete nothing burger. Since shatterspleen and both perforators (the superior boss items) ruins the build, some other boss items you could get instead are little disciple, which deals damage while sprinting and scales with movement speed. Extremely powerful, just be careful about using it during the last stage of the mythrix fight (although it should not be a problem if you are standing almost stationary on top of the pillars). And if you want healing, both genesis loop and mired urn wipe the floor with titanic knurl in terms of healing, again just be careful with these during the mythrix fight and Fourth, remember to pick up oddly-shaped opals for one-shot protection (tougher times is great too, especially if you get safer spaces, but otherwise prioritize opals and repulsion armor plates) Sorry for the long read, windette if for some reason you are reading this your guide was great and don't take this as criticism, it is just extra information that may help someone, whether these be things you overlooked or if your information was correct at the time but is now out of date. To everyone else, good luck with your achievement.
I am gonna be honest here, I did this achievement by accident. When I found out that beacons do dmg, I just thought "lets kill mithrix with the beacon" and just like that I had unlocked something which I had no idea even existed, XD
Alternatively, you can just stack a whole bunch of shaped glass, time that final stage just right, and take him out in one hit! Get enough teddy bears and attack speed to boost your projectile-killer drone and you'll be fiiiiiiiine!
Funnily enough, I got the achievement on my first captain run, because I found it hilarious you could kill bosses with the drop pods, so I figured I'd do it with all of them
On command I used a about 2-4 stacks of shaped glass and at least 10 AP rounds with an ocular HUD with enough gestures of the drowned to have full crit (obv you need to get the newt altar often to consistently get gestures) Highly recommend getting a single gas can on captain, since its godsend for crowd control on him with wisps. Using HUD saves you having to waste 10 common items on crit when it could be used for energy drinks and AP rounds instead, and you don't need shaped glass until you get to the moon grab as many shaped glass from the pods and if you built movement speed and feathers and quails right you can just stay in the air nearly forever and mow mithrix down every phase in less than 10 seconds so you can skip that stupid phase 2 mithrix attack. When he's weakened, he uses your shaped glass (meaning he also takes the 1/2 hp penalty making it easier to kill him) and if you hide at the right angle behind the ramp he cant hit you and you can still hit him. Also dio's best friend is a good legendary item since if you screw up/ run out of beacons you can just die then revive with full beacons back and try again. tldr: use shaped glass and AP rounds with 100% crit ocular HUD with ~8 gestures of drowned to make mithrix fight quicker, dios for if you screw up, then you can whittle him down like normal in phase 3.
3:41 Do NOT attempt to speedrun through the game, it’s a bad idea because the difficulty will scale faster than your items (15% increase each stage), but if you spend your time you can gain strength faster than the monsters See Disputed Origin’s video’s strategy section for a more in-depth explanation ruclips.net/video/aJWfwbG93Z8/видео.html
Alternate strategy: 1. make sure you have artifacts of chaos and swarms on 2. Do whatever you want prior to mythrix 3. Grab Popcorn 4. Mythrix more than likely is at low enough HP that you can slap him with your supply drops (it doesn't matter which) and is probably standing still so have fun
This guide is incredible, but the time advice (unless you're solely referring to this achievement and not the whole game) is not as helpful is you are skilled enough, know the map layouts, or have any movement. For example, for characters like captain, who can get items quickly, or commando and engineer, who can use items the most effectively, then you can fully loot the stage and outscale the game with your items.
I personally nearly fully loot stages with all characters, including on Monsoon runs, and I'm not skilled at all (and can still beat Mythrix if I build myself right) so idk XD
Meanwhile you can disregard the entire time per stage factor by using artifact of sacrifice. Since enemies spawn endlessly until the teleport is finished, there will also be no cap on how many items you'll get. I find it weird to just use arti of command for the Diablo unlock, like in the videi. Why not go all out on artifacts? I threw in sacrifice, swarms and kin. I almost screwed myself when I killed the first Mithrix, but got it on the second Mithrix from the arti of swarm. Same story for Bandit special alt. It's not that hard when it only takes patience, since chip damage is still better than using glass and missing your chance because you killed Mithrix in one shot.
@@baumpaladin issue with Sacrifice (as of SotV) is that you don't get any corrupted items with sacrifice. When I unlocked Diablo I had swarms and command
@@cassou124 what's the problem with that though? People didn't have void items prior to SotV, and still aren't necessary in any way or form after the DLC for the unlocks. They are just an additional way to play the game, and being honest, none of these items make for an crazy build outside of blastshower + safer spaces or void bands. The void items are cool new content, but I still prefer sacrifice over it. Well actually, I 100% the game by now, got all the old achievements before the DLC. So I just enjoy ROR2 with QoL mods now, like void items with sacrifice.
3:59 this is actually false advice, the logic here is if you full clear a stage, you get stronger faster than the enemies do, and also going to the next stage bumps up the difficulty a good chunk, sure, getting every item will still cause this just the same, youll be far stronger than rushing the teleporter. course you should still go as fast as you can, but full loot > time. (this is advice i learned from people with 1000s of hours in the game)
@@liquidnitrogen1770 unknown origin i belive, just look through his videos its in there (or was it race…?) edit: its race “the 20 minute rule” i believe
legit did this as an afterthought when I fought Mythrix on monsoon. I was getting him low in the last phase and I thought "oh yeah there's an achievement by killing him with a supply beacon" so i hit him with it... that was it, he died. Easiest achievement of my life
Artifact of glass, as many glass shards as you can buy, some crowbars and ampr, vase for tele cheese after stage 5, and wait till final boss phase to use beacons. Plus if you have no beacons and die then revived by a DIO, you get ur beacons back.
tbh best way to get people to not spend hours on a stage, and the way i mainly play as well, is with sacrifice too. no need to scavenge chests, item rng is fine. if you get that red, clover is now useful as well. ez wins
Quick tip: being revived by a Dio will actually refill your beacons meaning if you SOMEHOW manage to miss BOTH beacons, you can die on purpose to get another chance.
I'm fairly new to the game. Only have 50 hours so far and played for 2 weeks-ish. I was just casually playing on Monsoon and saw the challenge. I was like "oh cool, I'll try to do that!" And I did it did on my first try with my buddy Andrew. Made me feel real good. Even better now knowing that people struggle with it. I'm part of the 3% to have the achievement, and makes me proud
Welp, that's a load of misinformation. Thank's for making noobs somehow even worse at the game than they were. ITEMS are far more important than time, especially when you can choose any of them that you want, and it's not even a close comparison.
Not only is it not important, it is a complete detriment to your game. I have beaten eclipse 8 on almost every character, and when I was starting my eclipse 8 climb, I was struggling a lot in later stages, and I ended up ditching the Strat, and it became so much easier, anyone who says 5 minutes a stage is better than full looting is a clown, unless they recommend it just for people who just started the game
I did this first try my first run after the ability released, except I stood on a ramp when I fought stage 4 Mithrix instead of hiding on top of a pillar and dealing with the "stiff neck" problem this game likes to throw your way when dealing with ground based enemies.
For new players that come across the video later: as said in other comments, the 5 minute rule is a erroneous thing a portion of the community believed a while ago, it was mostly geared toward new players who got distracted and just ran around doing nothing. In reality so long as you are consantly aquiring new items and getting stronger as the time ticks by then the amount of time you spend per stage doesn't matter. Just be productive, always look for things to buy, always check 3d printers for good items by pinging them, always recycle the items that are either bad or not synergistic with your build, etc. Do that and you'll do fine.
@@jackmalcolm Then I'll amend my statement to "You talk a lot of shit for someone who just bought the five minute rule right away because Woolie said it once"
this is the first video of yours I watched and damn, kinda hot, but also I appreciate the entertaining tutorial. I might watch more, since I kept seeing your videos pop up in my recommendeds.
This… was not as hard as I was told by everyone… Like all you really need to get is Opal, Attack speed, and Crit/Watch. You can also get like 3-4 backup mags if you have a chronic fear of left clicking lightly instead of holding. This is so you can chip him down to 200-290 hp. Congrats, you have an achievement that is somehow less gratuitous then Merc’s perfect Prismatic Trial. Edit: also imagine using command and not just taking what you get B)
Mithrix took all my repulsion armor plates and became invincible. I couldn't run very well from getting chronobaubled, his ukulele zapped me when he attacked my healing drones, and his defensive microbots shot down my attempts to strike him with orbital probes. Also, for some reason, his health kept increasing. He was over 26,000 before I decided to Leroy Jenkins
Time is NOT more important than items and it’s thr common misconception about risk of rain. The enemies scale with what stage you are on more than the time it takes per stage, and the more items you get, the faster you stay ahead of the curve. With scrappers and printers it’s more beneficial to get the majority of items
This is the video that helped me get into ror2 and now im almost at 100 percent and now the dlc for console is coming out now im loveing the game to this day so windete thank you if it wasn't for you I would not be playing to this day
I legit got it on my second try, only because on my first I accidentally perfectly timed my orbital strikes to kill Mithrix right at that small lapse of invisibility at the beginning of his 4th phase
I didn't realize people struggled on this so much. I got it my first run and I definitely had a bunch of dot. I knew it was lucky, but I didn't realize how lucky I guess haha
For anyone here that doesn't play risk of rain or hasn't unlocked the diablo strike yet: that quip at the end of the video wasn't an exaggeration, it actually does deal 40,000% of your normal damage. it's also one of the only abilities in the game to have friendly fire, in case your friend stole that one *really* nice item

Some reds you can pick up instead are laser scope (essentially free +50% damage if you have 100 percent crit), headstompers (broken damage, best utilized with movement items that make trimping easy and a stun beacon equipped as your other beacon), interstellar desk plant (monster tooth on crack, insane healing even with one stack), symbiotic scorpion (better shattering justice), rejuv rack (in combination with corpsebloom gives you 8x healing due to weird item interaction), soulbound catalyst (extra mobility if you have your eccentric vase equipped), and dio's best friend (nice to have in case after all of this you somehow mess up)
Third, titanic knurl is a shit item and a complete nothing burger. Since shatterspleen and both perforators (the superior boss items) ruins the build, some other boss items you could get instead are little disciple, which deals damage while sprinting and scales with movement speed. Extremely powerful, just be careful about using it during the last stage of the mythrix fight (although it should not be a problem if you are standing almost stationary on top of the pillars). And if you want healing, both genesis loop and mired urn wipe the floor with titanic knurl in terms of healing, again just be careful with these during the mythrix fight and
Fourth, remember to pick up oddly-shaped opals for one-shot protection (tougher times is great too, especially if you get safer spaces, but otherwise prioritize opals and repulsion armor plates)
Sorry for the long read, windette if for some reason you are reading this your guide was great and don't take this as criticism, it is just extra information that may help someone, whether these be things you overlooked or if your information was correct at the time but is now out of date. To everyone else, good luck with your achievement.
Items > time
Always
bro said the L in guillotine and called us stupid in the same breath
I am gonna be honest here, I did this achievement by accident. When I found out that beacons do dmg, I just thought "lets kill mithrix with the beacon" and just like that I had unlocked something which I had no idea even existed, XD
"time is far more important than items"
so that was a fucking lie
0:02 Dear god.. you have friends?
That's crazy
Alternatively, you can just stack a whole bunch of shaped glass, time that final stage just right, and take him out in one hit! Get enough teddy bears and attack speed to boost your projectile-killer drone and you'll be fiiiiiiiine!
Funnily enough, I got the achievement on my first captain run, because I found it hilarious you could kill bosses with the drop pods, so I figured I'd do it with all of them
5mins per stage nuh uh
On command I used a about 2-4 stacks of shaped glass and at least 10 AP rounds with an ocular HUD with enough gestures of the drowned to have full crit (obv you need to get the newt altar often to consistently get gestures) Highly recommend getting a single gas can on captain, since its godsend for crowd control on him with wisps. Using HUD saves you having to waste 10 common items on crit when it could be used for energy drinks and AP rounds instead, and you don't need shaped glass until you get to the moon grab as many shaped glass from the pods and if you built movement speed and feathers and quails right you can just stay in the air nearly forever and mow mithrix down every phase in less than 10 seconds so you can skip that stupid phase 2 mithrix attack. When he's weakened, he uses your shaped glass (meaning he also takes the 1/2 hp penalty making it easier to kill him) and if you hide at the right angle behind the ramp he cant hit you and you can still hit him. Also dio's best friend is a good legendary item since if you screw up/ run out of beacons you can just die then revive with full beacons back and try again.
tldr: use shaped glass and AP rounds with 100% crit ocular HUD with ~8 gestures of drowned to make mithrix fight quicker, dios for if you screw up, then you can whittle him down like normal in phase 3.
Mercenary: Etherial need I say more
3:41 Do NOT attempt to speedrun through the game, it’s a bad idea because the difficulty will scale faster than your items (15% increase each stage), but if you spend your time you can gain strength faster than the monsters
See Disputed Origin’s video’s strategy section for a more in-depth explanation ruclips.net/video/aJWfwbG93Z8/видео.html
this both helped me with the acheivo, and taught me about my new favorite reason to do command runs! (guaranteed crit plus shatterspleen = yum)
I actually did this achievement on accident and was laughing so hard through the entire thing
Alternate strategy:
1. make sure you have artifacts of chaos and swarms on
2. Do whatever you want prior to mythrix
3. Grab Popcorn
4. Mythrix more than likely is at low enough HP that you can slap him with your supply drops (it doesn't matter which) and is probably standing still so have fun
hardest achievement? fight me windette
Came back to this two years later and yes it still works my smooth brain took longer but it works 100%
This guide is incredible, but the time advice (unless you're solely referring to this achievement and not the whole game) is not as helpful is you are skilled enough, know the map layouts, or have any movement. For example, for characters like captain, who can get items quickly, or commando and engineer, who can use items the most effectively, then you can fully loot the stage and outscale the game with your items.
I personally nearly fully loot stages with all characters, including on Monsoon runs, and I'm not skilled at all (and can still beat Mythrix if I build myself right) so idk XD
Meanwhile you can disregard the entire time per stage factor by using artifact of sacrifice. Since enemies spawn endlessly until the teleport is finished, there will also be no cap on how many items you'll get.
I find it weird to just use arti of command for the Diablo unlock, like in the videi. Why not go all out on artifacts? I threw in sacrifice, swarms and kin. I almost screwed myself when I killed the first Mithrix, but got it on the second Mithrix from the arti of swarm.
Same story for Bandit special alt. It's not that hard when it only takes patience, since chip damage is still better than using glass and missing your chance because you killed Mithrix in one shot.
@@baumpaladin issue with Sacrifice (as of SotV) is that you don't get any corrupted items with sacrifice.
When I unlocked Diablo I had swarms and command
@@cassou124 what's the problem with that though? People didn't have void items prior to SotV, and still aren't necessary in any way or form after the DLC for the unlocks. They are just an additional way to play the game, and being honest, none of these items make for an crazy build outside of blastshower + safer spaces or void bands.
The void items are cool new content, but I still prefer sacrifice over it. Well actually, I 100% the game by now, got all the old achievements before the DLC. So I just enjoy ROR2 with QoL mods now, like void items with sacrifice.
@@baumpaladin i just find not having void items sadge, they're funky
With insults its getting easier to understood them normal explains
3:59 this is actually false advice, the logic here is if you full clear a stage, you get stronger faster than the enemies do, and also going to the next stage bumps up the difficulty a good chunk, sure, getting every item will still cause this just the same, youll be far stronger than rushing the teleporter. course you should still go as fast as you can, but full loot > time. (this is advice i learned from people with 1000s of hours in the game)
From dio ye?
Just link the video here
Makes it clearer
@@liquidnitrogen1770 unknown origin i belive, just look through his videos its in there (or was it race…?)
edit: its race
“the 20 minute rule” i believe
@@glareninja Disputed Origin
shortened to Di-O
Its his Eclipse master class video
featuring Race
@@liquidnitrogen1770 why was i thinking uknown origin lmao XD
yeahh him lol
legit did this as an afterthought when I fought Mythrix on monsoon. I was getting him low in the last phase and I thought "oh yeah there's an achievement by killing him with a supply beacon" so i hit him with it... that was it, he died. Easiest achievement of my life
I was trying to do this one, and I had too much crit that I straight up murdered him with orbital strikes at almost half health. i was no too happy
How can you have too much crit? You can only have 100%
You know crit does nothing after 100% even if you have something that reduces luck, 100% is still 100%. And that's only double damage
"Some armor piercing rounds"
Me with 84 armor piercing rounds: "Wait.....SOME!?"
Artifact of glass, as many glass shards as you can buy, some crowbars and ampr, vase for tele cheese after stage 5, and wait till final boss phase to use beacons. Plus if you have no beacons and die then revived by a DIO, you get ur beacons back.
I followed you guide while using Diablo strike, great guide.
That moment when you completed this achievement by accident on first ever captain run
This is an awesome video, I was able to finish this challenge first try thanks to you!
i just stacked crowbars and bought lots of shaped glass in the final stage, so when he absorbs your items you one shot him with your beacon
i love the way this is done i feel like i'm being lectured by a drill sergeant
You can’t insult me, you’re playing on rainstorm
Sees video in recommendations: so it begins
tbh best way to get people to not spend hours on a stage, and the way i mainly play as well, is with sacrifice too. no need to scavenge chests, item rng is fine. if you get that red, clover is now useful as well.
ez wins
clover has no effect on item drops, also it's always been incredibly useful
Quick tip: being revived by a Dio will actually refill your beacons meaning if you SOMEHOW manage to miss BOTH beacons, you can die on purpose to get another chance.
Oh my god, the fact that he is insulting me while playing so fucking poorly makes me irrationally mad. like dude its not even monsoon.
Instructions unclear, the instructor was too nice, didn’t feel pressured enough.
In short: very entertaining video!
I refuse to accept that 78 crowbars can not be good no matter how hard you try convince me it’s a “waste of white items” I want my 5,850% damage.
2 years later we know that the 5 min rule is complete bullshit
the video is about risk of rain but i feel like im watching hollow knight idiots guide all over again
He callin' us dumbasses when he says "gill 'o tines" and not "guillotines"
Didn’t you already upload this a while back
ya, details in the description ^ ^
yeah hmmmm
Not sure why this got recommended 3 years later but goddamn this was hilarious. Bravo.
I'm fairly new to the game. Only have 50 hours so far and played for 2 weeks-ish. I was just casually playing on Monsoon and saw the challenge. I was like "oh cool, I'll try to do that!" And I did it did on my first try with my buddy Andrew. Made me feel real good. Even better now knowing that people struggle with it. I'm part of the 3% to have the achievement, and makes me proud
This works, first try! Thank you!
Also you were completely right about making a tank / survivability build.
Welp, that's a load of misinformation. Thank's for making noobs somehow even worse at the game than they were. ITEMS are far more important than time, especially when you can choose any of them that you want, and it's not even a close comparison.
EVERY GAME THAT I HAVE PLAYED
WINDETTE HAS A VIDEO ON IT
AND WHEN I BUY MORE
I DISCOVER MORE WINDETTE VIDEOS
the cycle never ends.
What i did was just do a lot of shattered glass. Mithrix loses health with more glass if you have enough you can one shot him
i love his remarkable phrase "here is where things get interesting"
been hearin it for a year now
I just stacked crowbar and 1 tapped him at the end.
2:06 low speed, this can be improved, speed is war
The 5 min rule really isn’t that important
On easy mode
Not only is it not important, it is a complete detriment to your game. I have beaten eclipse 8 on almost every character, and when I was starting my eclipse 8 climb, I was struggling a lot in later stages, and I ended up ditching the Strat, and it became so much easier, anyone who says 5 minutes a stage is better than full looting is a clown, unless they recommend it just for people who just started the game
10/10 insults, its very cathartic both for the insulter and the insultee.
I did this first try my first run after the ability released, except I stood on a ramp when I fought stage 4 Mithrix instead of hiding on top of a pillar and dealing with the "stiff neck" problem this game likes to throw your way when dealing with ground based enemies.
"Recently I decided to start playing risk of r-"
The worst best mistake a human can make
- A guy sits there explaining something in the most rude way possible
- PLAYING ON A RAINSTORM LMAO
LUL
For new players that come across the video later: as said in other comments, the 5 minute rule is a erroneous thing a portion of the community believed a while ago, it was mostly geared toward new players who got distracted and just ran around doing nothing. In reality so long as you are consantly aquiring new items and getting stronger as the time ticks by then the amount of time you spend per stage doesn't matter. Just be productive, always look for things to buy, always check 3d printers for good items by pinging them, always recycle the items that are either bad or not synergistic with your build, etc. Do that and you'll do fine.
I've never even heard of this game before, but I'll gladly let Windette insult me. 😌🙏
love listening to this video and getting 3 reds in one area 💀 (from 1 normal chest a large one and a shrine)
You talk a lot of shit for someone who still believes in the five minute rule because Woolie said it once
That 5-6 minutes per stage isn’t far off what the general community thought when this was uploaded.
@@jackmalcolm Then I'll amend my statement to
"You talk a lot of shit for someone who just bought the five minute rule right away because Woolie said it once"
this is the first video of yours I watched and damn, kinda hot, but also I appreciate the entertaining tutorial. I might watch more, since I kept seeing your videos pop up in my recommendeds.
This… was not as hard as I was told by everyone… Like all you really need to get is Opal, Attack speed, and Crit/Watch. You can also get like 3-4 backup mags if you have a chronic fear of left clicking lightly instead of holding. This is so you can chip him down to 200-290 hp. Congrats, you have an achievement that is somehow less gratuitous then Merc’s perfect Prismatic Trial.
Edit: also imagine using command and not just taking what you get B)
Who would've thought that being insulted for 10 minutes straight could be so much fun.
69th like!
"kill a giant flaming noodle"
Mithrix took all my repulsion armor plates and became invincible. I couldn't run very well from getting chronobaubled, his ukulele zapped me when he attacked my healing drones, and his defensive microbots shot down my attempts to strike him with orbital probes. Also, for some reason, his health kept increasing. He was over 26,000 before I decided to Leroy Jenkins
I figured out why his health kept increasing. He took my infusions and 4 titanic knurls.
it is very viable to spend extra time on stages to get every item
I didn't know people were annoyed by this achievement, only took me a couple tries.
it only took me one try but that doesn't stop me from saying it's a badly designed achievement
instructions unclear, became god.
Hollow knight music, and a RoR2 vid!? Double pog!
I literally got this achievement on my first cap playthrough without command.
instructions unclear, took void ukulele
You only need one predatory and scythe and 9 goggles to hit 100 crit
Instructions clear, unlocked a Tactical Nuke.
Time is NOT more important than items and it’s thr common misconception about risk of rain. The enemies scale with what stage you are on more than the time it takes per stage, and the more items you get, the faster you stay ahead of the curve. With scrappers and printers it’s more beneficial to get the majority of items
This is the video that helped me get into ror2 and now im almost at 100 percent and now the dlc for console is coming out now im loveing the game to this day so windete thank you if it wasn't for you I would not be playing to this day
I legit got it on my second try, only because on my first I accidentally perfectly timed my orbital strikes to kill Mithrix right at that small lapse of invisibility at the beginning of his 4th phase
I didn't realize people struggled on this so much. I got it my first run and I definitely had a bunch of dot. I knew it was lucky, but I didn't realize how lucky I guess haha
Instructions unclear, got one shot by a jelly fish.
