A thing to mention about the toxin, you're basically guaranteed to get one in your runs since the hidden chest that unlocks it will still spawn on future runs even after you've already unlocked it (Might require a key card or lots of jumps but storage is always worth it anyway)

[@whatevermanh7657]

wait, its not unlocked by default? how do you unlock it (don't worry idc about spoilers)

[@nubby3050]

@@whatevermanh7657 You have to go to the storage area on the final stage (top left keycard), there will be a chest that is darkened, but still has a tiny light on it, interact with it and it will unlock the toxin.

[@azelynhirano]

@@whatevermanh7657 go to Contact Light and access the Storage Room either with jumps or an Access Key. There are "background" boxes everywhere but one of them will be interactable. Just open that box for free and you'll have the Toxin.

[@averyunusualpyro7843]

@@whatevermanh7657 when you get to the UES go to the storage room there will be a chest there in the background that is glowing brighter in the center then the other chests. It also looks like the basic chest.

[@DigitalWolverine]

It spawns in a background chest on the final level 100% of the time. Once you collect it the first time, it’s available from random white drops, but it’s still going to spawn in that chest in future runs.

[@elfrangofrito]

I'm very confident Umbrella should've been on the list. Teleporter events can often be really chaotic so gaining 15 seconds of pure invincibility is HUGE.

[@Tumbolisu]

the other day i tried to unlock the artifact of origin and umbrella literally carried. glass + spite + kin is an awful combo, so being able to just kill everything without the bombs nuking me was insane! i would say that the artifact of origin is impossible to unlock without getting a red item before the stage 3 teleporter... unless you are just going cheat-mode and make enemies deal only 10% damage.

[@OpIvyPunk]

​@Tumbolisu Well it sounds like this advice won't be helpful to you, but honestly I think Pilot is the best for getting origin, outside of stuff like drizzle 200% damage dealt 10% damage taken. I just unlocked origin today on monsoon with only 2 red drops (dagger and afterburner). Pilots diagonal shot, airstrike, and the parachute are very useful for safely killing enemies while remaining away from bombs. The piercing on his 3rd primary shot can also be helpful too

[@SmoothTurtle840]

Umbrella + Laser Turret = free teleporter win

[@elfrangofrito]

@@OpIvyPunk Yeah, I agree. I unlocked Origin with Pilot as well

[@ededdneddy4ever34]

Unironically things like gasoline - it’s better than will o wisp - frost relic, golden gun should also have been considered. Wicked ring especially should also be considered. With at least one other crit item wicked ring is literally game breaking. Surprised that wasn’t mentioned.

[@barragethree5047]

Another reason Prophet's is busted: Safer Spaces is a trade-off for Tougher Times Prophet's Cape can be used WITH Hermit's Scarf (the equivalent to Tougher Times)

[@Sinnamonsters]

i know tougher times is green but it is still in returns which just means you get to stack all three!

[@barragethree5047]

@@Sinnamonsters RoRR Tough Times is armor, equivalent to Repulsion Armor Plate Hermit's Scarf is a chance to dodge a hit, equivalent to RoR2 Tougher Times

[@Sinnamonsters]

oh whoops i didnt play ror2 nearly as much lol i wasnt aware@@barragethree5047

[@takeachance5881]

@@barragethree5047 It is closer to tougher times than repulsion armor plate. Both dodge and armor amplifies hp while scaling your healing accordingly, it's just that armor is more consistent. They also both stack hyperbolically. Repulsion armor plate blocks flat dmg, there's no equivilant of it in matter of function atm in RoRR. The closest we got, unironically, is Repulsion armor, since it activates off and works best with chip dmg, something repulsion armor plate is very good at dealing with.

[@SmoothTurtle840]

Not to mention that they buffed Hermit’s Scarf too, making it scale exactly the same way Tougher Times does in RoR2.

[@MMock]

When I first got the prophet's cape, read the description and saw the FLOWING CAPE ON YOUR CHARACTER, it took me like 3 seconds to realize it was easily the best item in the game

[@autumnoraki]

It is insane how ridiculously cracked Ceremonial Dagger is, I've had so many runs literally carried by it

[@tamnker8465]

This item made me think I was good at the game once.

[@LordLucario12]

And this is NERFED from the original! This+Infusion+Glass in the original basically made entire runs free

[@glaba24]

They had to have known what they were doing with Prophet's Cape. I mean, its ,I think, the ONLY item that appears on your character in this game when you get it? There's no way they'd make an item like that bad.

[@drednoughtship2261]

It's just very spectacular and smart way to show it on character, besides the shield icon above the one, which can be overlapped by other items' icons.

[@calvinkerr2198]

You dont see it too often tho

[@nicholaskane69]

Interesting bit: the Resonance Disc is actually the driver installation disc FOR the Laser Turbine.

[@KnightRighteous]

Laser turbine? The rail gun you can get at Providence?

[@Elbry54]

Couple things to note regarding these items: - Red Whip does not increase your move speed by 60%, but by a flat amount - 1.2 MS exactly. With average survivor speed being 2.6, this equates to around a 46% boost (still very good) - Ifrit's horn deals base damage instead of TOTAL damage, for some reason - Prophet's cape is absolutely bonkers

[@spiritwicc3953]

Always remember that the Repulsion Armour gives you invincibility but requires you to get hit 6 times for it to activate, but the Prophet's Cape gives you invincibility the first time your hit AND heals you. And the Repulsion Armour is a red item, and the Prophet's Cape is green. Fair and balanced, I say

[@drednoughtship2261]

Repulsion armour also can damage multiple enemies, when they hit you. And it has no cooldown between possible activations. So yeah, fair and balanced.

[@dominikmagnus]

@@drednoughtship2261 also repulsion stacks better allowing for up to 8 seconds of near-invincibility, while cape doesn't do much with stacks, so yeah, fair and balanced. I feel like cape is in green because it's near useless to stack it.

Something cool about the duplicator is that on Contact Light, the duped keycards aren’t taken away upon use.

[@black_nyello7663]

I'm a staunch Umbrella fan because of the way it just lets you wail on enemies for a whole 15 seconds is completely unmatched imo. Very build dependent, but being able to set up all your abilities in exactly the way you want with no concern for your own life is invaluable. Also the engi beam turret synergy is really cool (though very rarely applicable/practical)

[@ededdneddy4ever34]

Spare drone parts is even better because if you find a drone to item converter you can recycle that drone and it’ll respawn next stage so it kind of serves as the regenerating scrap from 2

[@snowriff4464]

Happiest mask has a CRAZY synergy with Loader's alternate R move. The lightning chains to EVERY GHOST IN THE RADIUS, meaning anything that gets caught in there is just GONE.

[@fishcati5620]

The thing i like about prophet's cape is that having one is amazing, but after you pick one up, the effect an additional cape is dog ass. +1 healing when you block damage is nothing. I think it really incentivizes sharing in multiplayer and in singleplayer it holds you back from becoming too powerful too quickly.

[@thesolargamer9751]

burning desire (magma worm boss item) is also really good giving movespeed and a burning floor on kill is pretty damn good for crowd control (especially on acrid!)

[@stingyyyyy2250]

phrophets cape is the infusion in risk of rain 1, but in returns. they didn't even change infusion yet prophets cape is somehow

[@Purble]

They did at least nerf Infusion so a single stack doesnt trivialize Glass runs. Gotta get 10 before it really starts doing anything

[@samueluelmen4714]

5:58 Grandpa forgot that The Toxin wasn't in the first game either.

[@Winasaurus]

Happiest Mask is partly so good just because it's 2D. What used to be your epic beetle guard of doom wandering like a lost dog on some random platform a mile away is a ror2 issue with such long range and 3d environments. In RORR, your ghosts are ALWAYS near you and ALWAYS near enemies. If they were around you this often in ROR2 the mask would be great in that game.

[@Morslord]

For me it is the Umbrella, (you gain 15 seconds of invincibility after activating the teleporter, increases time per stack). It is absoluty busted to just stay inside bosses and monster hordes and press the attack button. Combine that, with the artifact of prestige and you dont need to look for items anymore because the amount of bosses spawns will drop enough.

[@raikkappa23]

I think Nematocyst Nozzle should have been on the list - Super short cooldown, good damage, targets things like an ATG, and Wandering Vagrants seem to pop up a lot in runs at times, making it the boss item I've gotten the most. (Or, at least, used the most.)

[@mauricionascimento9662]

Hey, I just found your channel, and I'm loving it so far. Anyway, just one small point: you say Crit is harder to come by in RoRR, which isn't exactly right. There's a butt-ton of items aside from glasses that raise your crit chances. The Razor Penny raises it by 3% per stack; Snake Eyes raises it by 7% per stack per failed gambling shrine (useless on last level though) The Scythe and the Furry Helmet function similar to RoR2, the first stack raises it by 5%; The Wicked Ring raises it by 5% with the first stack, and any subsequent stack will raise it by 10%, which is insane.

[@Robochipv8]

I totally agree with prophets cape, the no damage run for commando would not have took me so much longer to do

[@Lotioneater451]

I know this may seem small, but thank you so much for putting the deadbolt soundtrack in the background, deadbolt is one of my favorite games with one of my favorite soundtracks by Chris christodoulou and I don’t seem to see much of it on the internet. Thank you for that

[@chibieris8659]

dang, locked jewel didn't show up. absolutely my favorite new item, Im so excited everytime I see it. the gold helps you loot through stages faster and the barrier it gives you is nuts. (very happy my absolute favorite item Laser Turbine showed up though~!)

[@MurdockCakeLie]

Now that Chef from famous game Risk of Rain 1 2 has endorsed the Ridge Wallet, I’m probably gonna grab myself one finally.

[@Monsterpuffers]

Umbrella should be on this list

[@goldsocks9999]

The best feature of the dagger is that the on kill effects still proc if the dagger kills, so it can chain off itself

[@Ivy64_]

Fun thing about arms race is the unique drone gives an item when scrapped (unlike the drone spawned by repair kit) A change I wish they made was to prioritise the arms race drone at the scrapper. Regen scrap at home :)

[@manlyminotaur99gaming8]

Phase 4 Providence almost gave me a heart attack the first time I reached it I wasn’t expecting it, and even though the music was picking up I thought it was a new cutscene, so I stood still while Phase 4 Providence attacked me and I almost died but I had a lot of healing so I didn’t die

[@Ariamaki]

The shield-based "one-shot protection" you mention is a very common mechanic in most games, and it's kinda odd 2 didn't have a version of it to begin with. It's better known as shield gate / shield break / no overflow, depending on the game you're in.

[@Tumbolisu]

After having played both RoR2 and RoRR, as well as some Borderlands games and Deep Rock Galactic, I'm actually not surprised that they didn't add shield gating to RoR2. RoRR, Borderlands and DRG have a lot of unavoidable damage. I pretty much go down at a rate of once per minute in high-difficulty Borderlands PVE because every enemy deals so much damage that the first hit just nukes my shield. But I can't avoid the damage, because there are at least 5 enemies literally shooting BULLETS at me. In DRG there are so many enemies that you WILL get bitten at some point or another. Note that both of these games also have several mechanics for getting back into the fight after dying: Being revived on the spot by another player, or performing a special, limited action. This shows that taking damage is a natural part of these games, yet both games are really strict with how you can regenerate normal health. It's all about your shield. RoRR has a lot of unavoidable damage. Just look at the final phase of the final fight. Sometimes you just have no choice but to walk through the green death lasers. Because the game is 2D, there is only so much dodging that you can actually do. And now look at RoR2. Every single enemy is avoidable. Have you seen Cabbage getting the Ethereal achievement on every single Prismatic Trial ever? Even enemies like normal Wisps, which have a hit-scan attack, can be avoided in multiple ways. The only two enemies that I personally still have trouble with are the lasers of Stone Titans (that tracking is ON POINT and it HURTS) and Grandparents (you know exactly why). RoR2 isn't about tanking damage, it's about avoiding damage. This is also why multiple Eclipse modifiers are all about health: You only spawn with half health, all health regen is half as effective, and taking damage will "permanently" reduce your max hp.

[@tobi_versace]

The drone parts plus drone repair kit is OP

[@zollamusicSWAG]

Fireworks is pretty good too, just one stack does 4.5 times the damage of killing an enemy with Ceremonial Daggers (Daggers is 4x100%, Fireworks is 6x300%)

[@fluffy8634]

8:05 Off-topic from the video, but I like how the archer bugs have the same exact reputation that the primal aspids from hollow knight do. It's even more hilarious because they both have the same exact attack patterns.

3:53 this is called a damage gate. Apparently Providence has some version of it too, but you can bypass it with enough damage (which you technically shouldn't be able to do, but oh well lol)

[@rex_yaldabaoth]

I'd like to personally shout out heaven cracker, because while with 1 stack it's only 1/4 basic attacks, with a little attack speed it's still really great, like, piercing is so worth it for big crowds of enemies. Also, the fact that it has the ability to make melee survivor's basic attacks ranged is pretty sick imo. (Also, if you can somehow get 4 stacks, so that every basic attack pierces, it's just amazing, good luck seeing that without command though)

[@ezsy6029]

I don't if anyone else has motioned this but prophets capes can be even more busted specifically on engi with the prototype laser turret, as the turrets inherit all of your items they get prophets cape aswell. as the turrets self damage themselves while firing, prophets cape lets it not only block its on self damage but heal from it. the turrets are one of the most powerful things in the game but balanced by the fact they can only do a couple damage ticks before breaking but prophets cape and a few hermits scarfs let them stay immortal at enough stacks constantly blocking and healing themselves while doing the highest dps in the game, prophets cape is so fucking broken

I would be really interested to see a compare and contrast between returns and 2, of what you like and dislike in each. I have been thinking a lot about it myself and have reached my own conclusions and it would be cool to see other perspectives. Especially since I was someone who loved RoR1 and played that first, it would be cool to see the perspective of someone introduced with RoR2. I like returns a lot and there are a lot of things I like about it that and I also like 2 a lot, but there are a lot of things I dislike about it (despite having 240hrs). I wouldn't want like a comparison of, "which game is better", just more like, which aspects of each do you like and dislike without any real conclusion of which is "better". Idk, it would be really interesting to see I think.

I need them to add Prophet's Cape to Risk of Rain 2. Not because of the effect it has, god no, but because it looks so fucking raw on everyone. Any cape really, doesn't even have to do anything. A purely visual badass cape would be enough for me

[@legomeaker101potato]

is barbed wire still absolutely broken? (if you stacked more than 30 anything close to you would die in a few seconds, and after stacking 100... you wouldn't even see any enemies) I ask because although I loved risk of rain 1... I play on ps4/vita so I haven't played returns yet

[@bugjams]

I love how shield ruins OSP in 2, but essentially _gives_ you OSP in Returns. What a comeback. Also, I'll throw in my honorable mentions for each tier. White: Arcane Blades. Just an incredibly good movement speed item. 2 of them gets you to Red Whip speed. On Monsoon, you should be rushing to the teleporter almost immediately every level, meaning most of your time _should_ be spent doing teleporter events. Arcane Blades just makes these fights a lot easier. Mu Construct is good for similar reasons. Green: Filial Imprinting. It's probably not _as_ great as Royal Medallion (as said earlier, you should be spending a majority of time fighting teleporter bosses anyways), but the buffs it gives are significant. The best (and silliest) part of this item is that stacking it just increases the number of little goobers who follow you around, and if you can get lucky enough to have 4 or 5 of the little guys, you'll have buffs _constantly_ for you to pick up. Red: Hyper Threader. Only really good on high attack-speed characters, but _wow_ does it make them broken. This item _really_ shines on Commando, Bandit, and Pilot, and isn't a bad option whatsoever on some of the melee characters. On those low-damage high attack-speed characters, it's like a 50-65% DPS boost from base. AND the lasers can target enemies above or below as well, giving you some nice anti-air coverage.
