@@mellotomevoices actually, in ror1 we learn that the parents age into children, and then i think into grandparents? either way it's deceptive, the parents turn into the children, and overall they start as parents, so that IS a parent in the egg
@acquaintedfowl1767 I think it is actually parent->grand parent->child from youngest to oldest. They're supposed to mimic the phases of a sun: normal sized (parent) which eventually becomes super massive (grand parent) and finally collapses into a small form (child).
Aurelionite is NOT a time sink, unless you're specifically a speedrunner that cares about real time, not about in-game time, which is what actually matters in the game, because time doesn't move in the Gilded Coast. Which means, if you have the money and you CAN get it, it's Aurelionite plus 4 chests for free. If you had to farm money for the portal, it's 4 chests and Aurelionite for the price of 8 chests and time needed to get the money.
@@Desktopped Except time doesn't move in the Gilded coast. So his point stands precisely - it only matters if you care about out-of-game time. Detouring to the Gilded Coast won't cost you any extra difficulty, and it's a huge boon to have in the Mithrix fight.
@Desktopped I'm fairly certain that the seed can be re-rolled at a yellow printer, which translates into a better yellow item, plus, gilded coast is a decent place to get some levels because of the rapid spawn rate of enemies that drop a decent amount of money. (forgive any false information, I don't have the dlc yet 😅)
I think he was meaning a time sink as in real life time. I don't know this for sure, but he did mention that it could take up to 20 minutes to complete the gilded coast and if that were to give me a mediocre boss item and four items, I wouldn't want to spend me real life time doing that. I don't know for sure and if you did know this I'm sorry for wasting your time! :)

Knurl is weird just because it feels like it'd be extremely easy to make this item better. Just have it increase HP by a percentage instead of a flat 40. Like a 25% increase or something would instantly turn it into one of the better health items in the game. Edit: or even a 10% like pearl on top of the regeneration
Genesis loop isn't really meant to be exploited by staying below 25%. It's meant as an "oopsie daisy I'm about to die, better kill everything in the room" panic button. Though your point that you shouldn't get there in the first place is fair enough.
Tbh the no frills hp regen from knurl can be really op. Cautious slug doesn't increase regen in combat, where you'll be most of the time, while knurl just, let's you have it. Amazing early game sustain if you can get it.
@@ceddavis7441 That's a fair point, Knurl is never really going to be something you're SERIOUSLY upset with, I just understand the point that compared to a lot of others it kinda becomes insignificant in due time.

Are we sure the aphelian sanctuary not spawning lunar buds is a bug? I thought it was a lore reason. The sanctuary was a place created by providence as a place to rid creatures of afflictions, with his brother's lunar items also being an unwelcomed influence on the planet.
@@louisgunstone723 the problem is they intended for that, but the game actually will still try to spawn the pods, so it wastes the stage credits and spawns nothing
I remember going for the memes on stage 1 once and picking up Egocentrism then on stage 2 I found a Lunar Cleansing Pool, which was basically an Irradiant Pearl farm at that point, since I was careful to not pick up Irradiant Pearls until they were all that was on the ground and until I stopped farming for them.
I tried to cleanse a bunch of egocentrisms this way once, but after looping I didn't find any cleansing pools. I *did* however find many healing statue things.
@@ap1evideogame44 I mean, it's definitely not a viable strategy, as Cleansing Pools seem rare and I'm pretty sure they're map-specific, but when it happens, it's incredibly cool.
@@yvaskhmir yeah, they're rare, but it's supposed to be five times as likely on Aphelian Sanctuary, which is where I went. Maybe things simply spawn differently as you loop more.
Aurelionite is also more worth it the more players there are I find, since Halcyon seed scales from all players inventory just like Lepton Daisies, playing 4 player the boss drops 1 item per player on defeat, getting 4 Halcyons per gilded coast tends to make one boss of an Aurelionite. But that is a niche that multiplayer really brings.
@@aquamarinerose5405 Time does stand still in the gilded coast, but progressing to the next stage(including to, and from, Gilded coast) causes enemies to scale faster against you, which is why it's hit or miss on whether you should go there sometimes.

The thing is with Pearls, they boost ALL hp gains by 10%. So, if you have 2 pearls and pick up an Infusion, that’s 120 hp per stack instead of 100, or 48 hp on a Knurl. It’s even more bonkers on the irradiant because you apply that logic to EVERYTHING. Move speed, attack speed, jump height… whenever an item gives you any stats, irradiant pearl makes it give you even more value.
Your channel (along with Race's) has been awesome as I've jumped headfirst into playing this game the past couple months. Just beat my first E8 this morning thanks to y'all! Keep up the great work
The cool down for genesis loop is correct. It says every 30/(2+1 per stack). 30/2 is 15 and if you get another it becomes 30/3 which is 10. The +1 per stack is for the denominator of the devision.
Aphelion Sanctuary not spawning lunar pods almost makes sense from a lore perspective. Since it has the most cleansing pools, the denizens there probably cared a lot about removing Mithrix's influence from the area. One could imagine them quickly opening every lunar pod and cleansing the item whenever one landed, hence why you don't see any.

I've always felt that knurl and defense nucleus are bad because they do not provide the player with the special attack of the boss they just killed, you know, like every other boss item does? Knurl could easily be made viable in the early game if it shot out a golem laser (the burst damage kind) at random nearby enemies on a 10 second cooldown, which reduces hyperbolically with each additional stack. This on top of the health boosts. Nucleus could be fixed in a similar way by making it more consistent. Remove the on-kill shengai spawns, put it on a timer. If you tank a hit that wipes out more than 25% of your health in a single damage instance, you gain a shield similar to the xi ping, which provides jade elephant damage reduction for 3 seconds and overrides the shengai spawn time to only 1 second for 5 seconds. This 25% hp lost in one instance of damage thing can also be applied to penis loop, so that it is useable at theoretically every point of your hp bar as long as it is not below 25%. This makes it not reward bad gaming, but mistakes that humans would eventually make, like walking into a blazing elite mushrum's acid pool because you were curious if the acid and fire would stack (they obviously would you fucking idiot why did I do that ruined such a good run)
One thing about titanic knurl is that since it boosts life regen, it boosts acrid self healing from the third hit of the primary fire and the bite secondary, since those count as regeneration and not actual healing
Good ranking, would agree overall with most of the placings. One question though, where would you place newly hatched Zoa in this list if you were to include it. While it’s not a yellow item, I’d consider it a boss item since it corrupts all yellow items.
Molten Perforator is a funny one, because ot can literally be a run ender if your machine (or Switch) can't handle it. I was having one of those lv +20 runs and accidently picked it up and ended up quitting out of it when I was now periodically going a dozen seconds or more per frame thanks to all the additional visual clutter that wasn't even hitting anything.
Once on a run I got two drone parts on stage one, empathy cores on stage four, and defense nucleus on stage five. Combine that with a bunch of drones and my army was unstoppable
another good combo for the empathy core is the the drones that you can give the equipments to if you give one the reincorcement equipment it just summons abunch of drones with boosts empathy core i believe i might be wrong but i believe thats how that works.
I’m adding on to this since technically I’m not wrong #16: Newly hatched zoea On its own it could make its way to somewhere around roughly #10, but the fact it locks you out of EVERY other yellow item, even pearls completely kills its viability. Thankfully it’s very far out of your way, since the only way to get it is to die with a larva, use trophy hunters on a void devastator, or get a incredibly unlucky by getting: 1: Void Event (only happens after stage 5) 2: Devastator as the boss (I think, I’m not familiar enough with the void event to know if devastator is guaranteed, but I assume not) 3: Yellow drop after boss is dead This along with void bands is one of 2 non-lunars that I will NEVER take willingly. You effectively only get it after a handful of loops, but if you’re looping there is a very high chance you already have a better yellow item or will get a better yellow item by the time your run ends. Oh yeah also the explosion from your dead void allies can kill you and your other allies, so keep your distance, especially from chain reactions they can cause by killing eachother #15: Artifact key I guess it’s technically a yellow item? All I really have to say is thank god it can’t be corrupted by zoea. If you want to say it’s #1 since it unlocks artifacts (and we know how busted those can get) I can kinda see where you’re coming from, but at that point it’s really just putting artifacts on a tier list they have no purpose being on
Aurelionite has actually gotten me killed before. During the final phase of Mithrix where he steals all ypur items, not getting hit is rypically best to avoid things like ATGs or ukes. Aureltionate got hit, Mithrix activated uke I believe, and I died for it.
Coming from your other vids most of your commentary was pretty clean so to hear the plain, deadpan delivery of “…if ya like fuckin’ and suckin’ mirred urn is for you” caught me totally off guard.
Meta makes ror2 a bit less fun, silly builds and items like genesis loop coming in clutch when you don't expect it is really fun especially with friends
nah as a engineer main, my favorite and the yellow which im always looking to get is the jellyfish yellow and it just feels good when it happens and can help in times of need. Also its very op on the turrets you can make (for engineer)
I'm gonna mention this for genesis loop real quick; it's fantastic in simulacrum, I'd argue one of the best yellows for that mode void damage allows you to get below the threshold with significantly more control, it's on your terms when you'd like to activate it, and due to the much tighter enemy density, you essentially wipe the entire map at the low cost of playing inside the void for a bit the anti-synergy with watches and the like is less prominent too since, until you stack enough barrier gain, void runs are going to get you below 25% hp fairly frequently if you intend on minmaxxing (dependent on character though) tl;dr, much more control, much more reward, highly recommend
I've found myself happy to pick up Titanic Knurl on early stage as I'm currently on Eclipse 11. Can't say no to any form of regeneration that isn't halved
actually the genesis loop can be a great tool for late game considering with everything happening on screen, it can destroy every enemy around you and let you survive for alot longer
This helped a lot, i only have like 35 hours in the game and i thought the knurl and drfense nucleus were rly good and that the charged perforator was bad bc of how i had experienced the game
11:23 its a bug? I always thought that it was intentional. That lorewise the residents of petrichor V have cleansed all traces of Mithrix and items he throws down to the ground
A thing to note about BG is that there is an issue in multiplayer when you enter the Bazaar where the guard will push other players through the floor and the fall damage will kill them. Because of this, it is the worst boss item specifically in eclipse multiplayer.
eh dying in bazaar is not that bad, you respawn in multiplayer next stage anyway, and unless there was a really good red/green and you had scrap for it, youre not missing anything by dying just in the bazaar. also its not like every single time u enter and someone has a bg youll die, it just is a weird bug sometimes. also you can just avoid going to the bazaar if its rlly that big of a deal, only situation i could see this is if someone had a dios or a bunch of watches or something. id still rather have a bg than a defense nucleus in eclipse multiplayer lol
ngl I have a newfound love for the Halcyon seed recently. a couple days ago I had a godlike monsoon run where the game, for some reason, gave me around 4 chances to go to gold coast. combined with my run where I had a mod that added an item called the "Relic of Termination" (Tldr, spawn a buffed enemy that guaranteed drops an item if you kill it fast enough) that triggered on Aurelionite which tripled the drop of the Halcyon seed on my first trip(but just killing her when she was buffed up like that was pain)... by the time I got to Mitherix, I had 7 of them and when she showed up in phase 3... I actually forgot I had 7 of them, barely processed she spawned, and then watched as she kicked Mitherix's teeth in as I die of laughter. Doubt I'll get a run like that in a long time.
I've not had a visit to gilded cost take 20 minutes, it is normally 5-10 and the difficulty timer doesn't advance during it. Since there is 4 free chests there it halves the cost to 4 regular chests to enter practically speaking, but the yellow item which is a great anti-boss tool in most cases is at least worth a chest or two making it only practically cost 1-2 chests.
Love the videos like always, love the ranking videos (would love some more survivor based ones) also next livestream you should link people to the spiffingbrit vid where he discusses the youtube exploit where if you just open the same stream in a new window, it counts as two views (and so on for however many windows your computer can handle running the stream on lmao)

One thing about titanic knurl is that since it boosts life regen, it boosts acrid self healing from the third hit of the primary fire and the bite secondary, since those count as regeneration and not actual healing
AYYYYY NEW DIO VIDEO!!! Good luck on your races by the way, they're so tough but you're an absolute soldier
You thought it was DIO, but its me, DIO
Good ranking, would agree overall with most of the placings. One question though, where would you place newly hatched Zoa in this list if you were to include it. While it’s not a yellow item, I’d consider it a boss item since it corrupts all yellow items.
Probably similar to happiest mask on most survivors, higher on engie
I really liked the background footage for this video. Not sure what mods you're using, but the game looks very pretty!
Where is artifact key gramps? Is the dementia kicking up again?
Molten Perforator is a funny one, because ot can literally be a run ender if your machine (or Switch) can't handle it.
I was having one of those lv +20 runs and accidently picked it up and ended up quitting out of it when I was now periodically going a dozen seconds or more per frame thanks to all the additional visual clutter that wasn't even hitting anything.
3:25 yooo night in the woods music? Damn disputed I didn't know you were chill like that
How dare you try to manipulate us into engaging, Grandpa!
Hearing marble blast ultra music in the background legit let me relive a childhood memory 😂
Once on a run I got two drone parts on stage one, empathy cores on stage four, and defense nucleus on stage five. Combine that with a bunch of drones and my army was unstoppable
thank you for just jumping into the content
another good combo for the empathy core is the the drones that you can give the equipments to if you give one the reincorcement equipment it just summons abunch of drones with boosts empathy core i believe i might be wrong but i believe thats how that works.
Thanks for the video
Beetle guard has killed me and my brother on two sperate runs. Never again. That little shit gets fed through the shredder asap.
I’m adding on to this since technically I’m not wrong
#16: Newly hatched zoea
On its own it could make its way to somewhere around roughly #10, but the fact it locks you out of EVERY other yellow item, even pearls completely kills its viability. Thankfully it’s very far out of your way, since the only way to get it is to die with a larva, use trophy hunters on a void devastator, or get a incredibly unlucky by getting:
1: Void Event (only happens after stage 5)
2: Devastator as the boss (I think, I’m not familiar enough with the void event to know if devastator is guaranteed, but I assume not)
3: Yellow drop after boss is dead
This along with void bands is one of 2 non-lunars that I will NEVER take willingly. You effectively only get it after a handful of loops, but if you’re looping there is a very high chance you already have a better yellow item or will get a better yellow item by the time your run ends.
Oh yeah also the explosion from your dead void allies can kill you and your other allies, so keep your distance, especially from chain reactions they can cause by killing eachother
#15: Artifact key
I guess it’s technically a yellow item? All I really have to say is thank god it can’t be corrupted by zoea. If you want to say it’s #1 since it unlocks artifacts (and we know how busted those can get) I can kinda see where you’re coming from, but at that point it’s really just putting artifacts on a tier list they have no purpose being on
gotta love how he has no intro, just jumps straight into the video
night in the woods ost in the background, very epic
marble blast ultra ost is crazy
Another bonus for shatterspleen is that if you get your crit high enough, you no longer need Tri-tip so you can swap them for needle tick for shatter
Aren't bleed procks from tri-tips and spleen separate? So you could get double bleed stacks.
@@MarkNapalmov I think it was that way before the DLC but it definitely doesn't work like that anymore
great video
No way, 33 seconds and already in my recommended. Wow. Algorithm putting in work.
Aurelionite has actually gotten me killed before. During the final phase of Mithrix where he steals all ypur items, not getting hit is rypically best to avoid things like ATGs or ukes. Aureltionate got hit, Mithrix activated uke I believe, and I died for it.
Coming from your other vids most of your commentary was pretty clean so to hear the plain, deadpan delivery of “…if ya like fuckin’ and suckin’ mirred urn is for you” caught me totally off guard.
So glad you mentioned gloop on engineer.
I've cleared void seeds before by dropping my turrets into the edge of one and waiting for the Gloop
Hey, not sure if you were making a joke, but Halcyon seed is pronounced Hal-see-uhn. If you were making a joke i apologize.
I love the little shots of each boss standing next to their item, they're so cute. Like kids in art class proudly showing off a thing they made
genesis loop doesn’t reward you for playing poorly, it saves you when you do bad so that you have breathing room to get back to max health
Meta makes ror2 a bit less fun, silly builds and items like genesis loop coming in clutch when you don't expect it is really fun especially with friends
I was laughing at some guy getting jumpscared by a defense nucleus, and then I got jumpscared by tartar sauce.
commenting for the algorithm because i appreciate your honesty
shatter spleen plus needle tick is amazing
can still do bleeds and the collapse damage
super fun combo
and void crit on bandit with those is DISGUSTING
Return of the king
10/10 would comment on again
(to help out the epic ROR2 youtuber of all time)
nah as a engineer main, my favorite and the yellow which im always looking to get is the jellyfish yellow and it just feels good when it happens and can help in times of need. Also its very op on the turrets you can make (for engineer)
Just realized the background music from a game I played, Marble Blast Ultra.
Otherwise, epic video
What was the mod that made sundered grove look this good at 5:35 ?
i remember one time getting a yellow to lunar printer on the same stage as a cleansing pool, walked out that stage with 30 irradiant pearls.
I'm gonna mention this for genesis loop real quick;
it's fantastic in simulacrum, I'd argue one of the best yellows for that mode
void damage allows you to get below the threshold with significantly more control, it's on your terms when you'd like to activate it, and due to the much tighter enemy density, you essentially wipe the entire map at the low cost of playing inside the void for a bit
the anti-synergy with watches and the like is less prominent too since, until you stack enough barrier gain, void runs are going to get you below 25% hp fairly frequently if you intend on minmaxxing (dependent on character though)
tl;dr, much more control, much more reward, highly recommend
He never misses! The absolute legend!
4:38 It's pronounced "hal-see-uhn". It's a real word that's also a genus of bird :D
I've found myself happy to pick up Titanic Knurl on early stage as I'm currently on Eclipse 11. Can't say no to any form of regeneration that isn't halved
Tier list videos help a ton
came for the tier list, stayed for the Night in the Woods music
Gotta love him showcasing Molten Perforator being second best, and the footage shown looks like it does ZERO damage to anything lol
Holy fuck, ancient memories are flooding back into my brain after hearing the Marble Blast Ultra soundtrack lmaooooo
actually the genesis loop can be a great tool for late game considering with everything happening on screen, it can destroy every enemy around you and let you survive for alot longer
This helped a lot, i only have like 35 hours in the game and i thought the knurl and drfense nucleus were rly good and that the charged perforator was bad bc of how i had experienced the game
3:41 for this item I’d also recommend the item that doubles healing. The red item I believe. I think it works great as a combination.
11:23 its a bug? I always thought that it was intentional. That lorewise the residents of petrichor V have cleansed all traces of Mithrix and items he throws down to the ground
A thing to note about BG is that there is an issue in multiplayer when you enter the Bazaar where the guard will push other players through the floor and the fall damage will kill them.
Because of this, it is the worst boss item specifically in eclipse multiplayer.
eh dying in bazaar is not that bad, you respawn in multiplayer next stage anyway, and unless there was a really good red/green and you had scrap for it, youre not missing anything by dying just in the bazaar. also its not like every single time u enter and someone has a bg youll die, it just is a weird bug sometimes. also you can just avoid going to the bazaar if its rlly that big of a deal, only situation i could see this is if someone had a dios or a bunch of watches or something. id still rather have a bg than a defense nucleus in eclipse multiplayer lol
Commenting to poke the algorithm and to show appreciation for the video.
You should make a top 10 rainglish words video lol
Wish you included the void "yellow" item since it corrupts all hellow items, im interested where you would rank in on this list
no artifact key
Or newly hatched zoa :(
sorry babe, new Disputed Origin video just dropped... You'll have to find a ride home cuz it's time to listen to gramps cook
well done
I would hate on Defense Nucleus more, but spare drone parts makes them so much fun lol
ngl I have a newfound love for the Halcyon seed recently.
a couple days ago I had a godlike monsoon run where the game, for some reason, gave me around 4 chances to go to gold coast. combined with my run where I had a mod that added an item called the "Relic of Termination" (Tldr, spawn a buffed enemy that guaranteed drops an item if you kill it fast enough) that triggered on Aurelionite which tripled the drop of the Halcyon seed on my first trip(but just killing her when she was buffed up like that was pain)...
by the time I got to Mitherix, I had 7 of them and when she showed up in phase 3... I actually forgot I had 7 of them, barely processed she spawned, and then watched as she kicked Mitherix's teeth in as I die of laughter. Doubt I'll get a run like that in a long time.
Hal-See-On lol, hearing “Hal-coin” made me laugh
I love your ranking videos, even when I disagree with you!
i was playing earlier and my beetle guard killed me because it was void touched
I've not had a visit to gilded cost take 20 minutes, it is normally 5-10 and the difficulty timer doesn't advance during it.
Since there is 4 free chests there it halves the cost to 4 regular chests to enter practically speaking, but the yellow item which is a great anti-boss tool in most cases is at least worth a chest or two making it only practically cost 1-2 chests.
Love the videos like always, love the ranking videos (would love some more survivor based ones) also next livestream you should link people to the spiffingbrit vid where he discusses the youtube exploit where if you just open the same stream in a new window, it counts as two views (and so on for however many windows your computer can handle running the stream on lmao)
YES MORE RANKS
I've stacked halcyon seeds and run hellfire tincs with razor wire and daggers with explosive attacks and it makes for a good duality between bullet sponge and galling combo
