Most self aware risk of rain 2 player

I literally told you to pick it up...

really didn't expect to get jumpscared by myself lmao really though, red items are seriously super powerful. they just don't make up the backbone of a build, so its detrimental to have a good item be turned into a kinda not super important item like rejuv rack or bhaos. unless... you just get a *shitton* of reds and then plow through the game with your insane powerhouse of multiple dozen reds. still, *just* reds would be very pitiful on their own. build variety is key in ROR, and many items are terrible without other items to activate their effects or provide synergies. thankfully, the cabbage synergizes greatly with void items, boss items, and lunars; all of which are also home to some really broken items too. cabbage makes some of the best, most OP things in the game even stronger; and it turns whatever else garbage you want into good things with a reasonable degree of consistency. but you really don't want to take an entire stage's worth of items and have them turn into nkuhanas or some crap like that. in order to make the most of cabbage, you want to turn as many items into reds as possible; while *also* getting as wide of a variety of reds as possible. you can manipulate this with some basic math, 3d printers, and newt altars and similar hidden realms. the most important thing to remember is that greens cost 1 tier upgrade, and whites cost 2 upgrade tiers. so you should almost always merge your whites down into one stack to minimize wasted tier upgrades. so if you had 4 greens, and one fat stack of whites, and you go through the bazaar and back; you'll come out the other end with ~5 red items (one of which is in a huge stack). you will almost certainly come out the other end with some really really crazy damage/utility red items that make the rest of the run pretty easy. even if you rarely end up with ~10 reds that don't provide immediate value, you shouldn't really have a hard time completing stage 2 or maybe 3 with bad items and then you will *definitely* have a strong build going. this initial lack of build diversity is cabbage's biggest weakness, i wouldn't really recommend picking it up lategame on the chance it spits out some superficial unimportant reds. the cabbage need some time to, well... bloom. benthic bloom will always give you ridiculous god build after a few stages, but its usefulness is shaky early on before it can steamroll with reds. if you don't feed it items and let it flourish, it'll remain shaky, inconsistent, and chaotic for the whole game. in singleplayer, benthic bloom is a very compelling item that often drastically improves a run once lategame comes around; but it comes with a non-zero chance of ending the run right then and there after you initially pick it up. it can be good as a hail mary last resort for a dying run, not unlike a shrine of order and its potential to occasionally create wacky gamebreaking builds out of only a few items. but multiplayer is an entirely different world. one player becomes the designated garbage eater of the group, letting all the good items go to the other players and taking all the trash and turning it into treasure. without the need to split the good items, both players are set for insane god builds. in multiplayer, there's a lot more chances for void items and boss items; giving the cabbage player much needed build variety to ensure consistent results. and even if you DO have terrible luck and die... you'll just come back next stage, and you only need 2-3 items for a chance to get back in the game. it is nearly impossible to lose a cabbage run when multiple players can work together; playing to each other's advantages while mitigating their weaknesses.

Yup it was all the benthic

Shouldve taken the bloom

you gotta believe in the bloom if you want it to work. feed it, give it everything you have, and you will be rewarded with an insane plethora of overpowered reds to your wildest dreams. you fear the bloom. you starve it, clinging on to your items and not letting the cabbage do its thing. therefore, you are punished for your insolence. but for real though... an item that takes away your greens and whites doesn't work if your strategy revolves around keeping specefic greens and whites in your build. play into the cabbage's strengths and you will have a much better time. there's a lot of strategy that goes into maximizing benthic bloom upgrades that allows it to go from a potentially detrimental item into arguably one of the best items in the whole game. play your cards right and you can come out of stage 1 with 4-6 different red items, some of which you can have like 5ish stack of.

Now to be fair, that Stage 1 Vagrant was your own missplay, Benthic had no hand in that. You were more than well enough equipped to beat Mithrix, as you demonstrated. Artificer is a survivor that, in my opinion, has a pretty low risk to taking benthic compared to someone like engie or captain

With the icbm this could have been a truly heavenly run

Love the dead cells store music

average benthic bloom W

question how do you skip the animation of interactable? because is takes too long for statue to do its thing

0:28 THE TRANSITION THOUGH

since i find myself in a similar situation all the time, i have always wondered if there was possibly a tech with 6 titans, glad i never tried that out since it would’ve failed 🙏🙏🙏

fun has been legalized lol

I heard "Blood Coagulant" Calamity music

i am free to do what i want but i choose to rotate

The Chaser, if you will

Regular Show Enjoyer Spotted

Are you allowing yourself to choose the order of survivors?

Look ma im on tv!

just your everyday benthic bloom carry

Any tips to get better?

I died one time to what the game said was a "Fuel Cell" (yeah like the item) and it just had a ? picture

Bandit clip is the type of shit that happens to me constantly. Rough one

see what you could do is get good

Never stand still

I lost a really good run on eclipse with Captain because of a glitched ELemurian,he came upclose to breath fire to me and as he was doing that animation he threw 5 fireballs,he was elecrified too

Brass contraptions are the fucking worst when it comes to unexpected deaths

consequences of standing still in this video game

Bro I am actually curious how you are able to reply to comments without pausing the game lol, because even taking screenshots will make me die

Ass contraptions.

I felt your pain on that huntress loss

for a second i thought you died because of the drone procing something lmao

Leave him alone, he's shy :(

I always tell my friends, "Never doubt my ability to throw a run that shouldn't be possible to lose with."

skill checked

normal viend damage

my strongest run was with void fiend with 2 shatterspleens, about 8 lens makers glasses, 21(yes) tougher times, 3 tri tips, and a whole lot of movement items

thats what u get for trying to employ degenerate gameplay tactics (using physics bug to skip intended game design)
