[RoR2] Monsoon Pacifist

Obliterating myself on Monsoon without harming any monsters.

This guy: leaves with humanity intact Risk devs: that's not how that's supposed to work....

According to the lore he actually kills all of them and more by fully charging a portal, thats why they stop coming once its charged

Would explain why you don't have to kill all remaining monsters like RoR1

I don't know what's more impressive, the fact that you did this without dealing any damage, or that you also did it with so few items. Great job.

a funny idea came into my head when i tried this, imagine getting the spine lunar item, to grant enemies more damage to make them kill each other faster

[@ruludos1977]

There's a few lunar items that would make this easier now; it's certainly not a bad idea.

[@abelknecht4943]

The spine thingy would work

Carlos Arroyo it lets you go straight to the teleporter every stage, and swarm gives you a bungle of items

[@cruisername8423]

I DONT WANNA HURT NOBODY

[@WaterVictim]

There might be an easier way. Have you tried using the vodo doll and stacking the money book, brooches, infusions,monster tooth necklace, and of course fuel cells Edit: probably wasn’t out yet

[@ruludos1977]

Not a terrible idea; I think the largest benefit would be a source of gold. The only problem would be that you have to remain near the doll to get healed, which isn't really viable later on into the run.

[@WaterVictim]

Ruludos having about five brooches might be better than fungus Aegis it’s really good, and if you stack 3 or 5 monster tooth’s then it might heal for like half you’re hp and brooches will still activate even if you have the malachite debuff. So I guess you could just stack infusions and brooches but it’s not like I’m going to try pacifists so I’m not talking from experience

[@ruludos1977]

i just tried it and it would work perfectly if every voodoo proc didn't count as a kill

[@spunklord5000]

With swarms I can definitely see one of the Mithrixes getting clapped by the other but after that I don't think there would be anything that could even kill the other in phase 1 lmao

[@maxmix5355]

I guess it possible to kill mitrix this way with fall damage artifact

[@ruludos1977]

he hurts himself with the aoe from his attacks so you don't have to do anything but watch

[@cbhv4321]

what do you do if you get magma worms

[@Vession]

they get magma worm boss the level before obliterating

[@Batmagoo]

Nice, but why did you equip the swarms artifact?

[@ruludos1977]

some bosses can hurt themselves with aoe attacks but many can't; if you end up with one lava worm/imp overlord and nothing to kill it with the run is over, swarm lets you pit bosses against each other and has more enemies overall which makes it harder to end up stuck

[@Batmagoo]

@@ruludos1977 smart. Congrats on the run!

[@khromyakvsevolod3664]

Since when did Monsoon become pacifist?

[@terryroraus]

There's one thing that's bothering me. Charged Punch doesn't wind up anywhere near that fast. How'd you do it?

[@teo5339]

There's an alternative skill you can swap to called the thunder gauntlet. It has almost no wind-up, and does splash damage but does less overall damage

[@toedmushroom9509]

Shouldn't you have been picking up some Red Whips?

[@ruludos1977]

loader doesn't need mobility, her grapple is more than enough

[@squibbles_]

Loader isn't really good with red whips. Regardless of whether she's using it for combat or mobility, charging up your punch counts as being "in combat," so you can't even use it for momentum

[@GreyMaria]

As a Loader player, if you just wait three seconds (that is to say, precharge), you can use Red Whip's boost to increase your damage when using your charge offensively.

[@ruludos1977]

i prefer thunder gauntlet for the faster charge usually, you can't hold it like you can the default punch unfortunately

[@squibbles_]

@@ruludos1977 I can't stand the thunder gauntlet personally lol. It ditches the whole playstyle of going as fast as possible to do as much damage as possible, since the damage is fixed, and that's my favorite part about Loader

Artifact of command though....thats kind of cheating

[@marcosperezomg]

Well they only ended up being able to pick up 9 items... on an 8 stage run on monsoon. A successful pacifist run without command would mean hoping to get the few healing/protection items in the pool while restarting if you get like 5 sticky bombs, crowbars, bands, on kill items, etc. With command it's still a very skillful run. Without command, it's still skillful but what we would see/what would probably be uploaded is the lucky run where they managed to roll all the good defensive items in stage 1.

[@topzozzle5642]

​@@marcosperezomg I guess its just personal preference, how much do you want the game to step on your D, I would just not be able to accept the win if I chose my items... id rather try 40 times before the game decided to give me a break. but ultimately that's not important. if you can accept the win while using command more power to you guys and I mean it.

[@KingofJ95]

@@topzozzle5642 Based on other comments, this still took around 30 runs to succeed, so I'd wager the odds are far less favorable than 40 runs for the game to let up on you.
