The Item That Completely Breaks Risk of Rain 2

been a while, commentary might've been a bit ror2 rusty but i'm happy to be back!

"benthic bloom build" is a bit of a paradox lol

[@eggstew]

true haha, it's like when my teacher told me "just because you made it doesn't mean it's an actual construction" when, for show-and-tell, i brought in a mountain of my own shit

[@Swoomyy]

I don't think paradox is quite the right word here

My favourite benthic bloom moment was when a decently large green stack became a bunch of 56 leafed clover which then became more benthic blooms

[@IcyFlame606]

recycling pluripotent larva is a guaranteed benthic bloom

[@TWGatorade]

you might be onto something, and i think thats a great strategy

[@randy_handy]

Got a benthic bloom from a void cradle and picked it up without knowing what it was… Mithrix died before his opening cutscene even ended 💀

[@plswhy]

Benthic Bloom is great until it takes away all your goat hooves and bands.

[@lvl_4_cyndaquil170]

Another fun build to run is the straw doll equipment (can’t remember it’s name), soul bound catalyst, the blue seashell, and a ton of gasoline and ignition tanks. The seashell forces you to use your equipment automatically while lowering cooldown, soul bound catalyst lowers your equipment cooldown for every death, and the straw doll constant procs on kill effects which is where your gasoline and ignition tanks tear through everything in the game

[@eggstew]

yeah i've gotta do a forgive me please video! thanks for the reminder

[@thenatespecial]

i also love doing the "drug run" where you stack 3 shells (to start with) and then get the tonic so that when the cooldown ends on tonic, the shell count will make it auto use again so you can never get withdrawals from the tonic unless you accidentally hit a cleansing pool

[@shroomer3867]

@@thenatespecial The only issue with it is that Mithrix takes away your item and he becomes your withdrawal center so to speak, you might just get 100x withdrawals there. But it's easily circumvented if you know how to skip his last phase or if you prefer less risk, just go do the void boss or obliterate

[@xATLANTIXx]

"Mistakes can be good, I mean look at me" bro...that hit a bit close to home lol

[@stereoplexus]

Benthic bloom replaces basically the single best item in the game and is fairly likely to screw you over real bad. I took it once or twice for fun, but it's really not worth it imo.

[@ThePizzabrothersGaming]

@@stereoplexus the best item in the game is Droneman, then headstompers, then clover (for proc classes)

[@yowaii4862]

YES FINALLY THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

[@Savirezz]

Benthic bloom ruined my run. It turned every one of my goat hoofs into freaking razorwires, my movement speed was so slow, I couldn't get to the ship in time

[@bawaharees5693]

watched a stream once back in 2021 about this game and just like this video i had no idea what was going on but the game looks good to stuck around!

[@aarepelaa1142]

Very much should get it if its on sale, i think ror2 is one of the best roguelikes solely because of how many items you get compared to most others.

[@polarisation]

very good,just dont buy the recent dlc and dont buy it on consoles

[@colorsinmyhead]

i didnt realize eggstew was eggs 2 i just got into ror2 but have been watching your bh videos for aaaages!!!!! thought to myself "hey these thumbnails look familiar? and egg in the channel name? OHHHH" such awesome content and this video in particular felt very narratively engaging

[@eggstew]

glad u enjoyed gamer

[@aurizone]

i literally started watching your videos yesterday. amazing timing.

[@eggstew]

yay yay

[@amentia]

I don't know your channel yet, my good sir... but that was quite the nice video, and I'll be back 😂 loved the end of the run btw

never watched any of your main channel and probably won’t but i like this ror2 voiceover stuff. will follow this. 👍

[@eggstew]

thank gamer, tbh i prefer it that way

[@Caminante-blanco]

I've been waiting so long! It's finally here ❤️

[@Caminante-blanco]

This may be the best eggstew video ever

[@tim3130.]

at 11:40 you didnt understand why it stil did damage a while ago they changed to height scaling not momentum

[@seanchamberlain7928]

benthic bloom can ruin runs as soon as you get multiple dupes. At that point, you get carried by plasma shrimp and singularity band in damage.

[@guest-ub2vq]

I really enjoyed your commentary over your own gameplay type of video and i will be watching more

[@saskekun8087]

Yoo egg im 21 now and that might be crazy but i watched you Videos when i was around 16 17. I started Picking Up risk of Rain on my new PC a few months ago and watched some Videos on KZbin. I was Like wait a sec i know That voice and i was so Happy when i saw you Play the Game too i Love your Videos. I really thank you for all the Work and good luck on everything

[@eggstew]

thank

[@Electrovicane]

You can get the same effect with 5 regenerative scrap but you can curate you build better, you just have to hit up the newt every stage. Every 5 gives you an extra red

[@testhekid]

im loving these ror2 uploads, been playing the game and im having a blast

[@eggstew]

thank for watchin gamer

[@BammTNT]

My god your so quick, An hour gaming is just one loop for me XD

[@JonathanAcunaKonahrik]

I'll be honest, based on the title of the video I wasn't expecting a video style of commentary on a previously recorded clip

[@PP_CC]

Finally!!! Ive been waiting for another RoR vid!!! Also great bralala videos you got

[@hotsamuraisoup7080]

i just got into ror2 and now i learn that one of my favorite creators also makes videos for this game? Im eatin good tonight

[@cassidyasmr797]

when you have too much speed, get the mask item in the blue portal area, it doubles ur hp and halfs ur speed.

[@anonymus3219]

love your personality egg!

[@yarn1471]

This only can get good if you're lucky or past the point of finishing the run already so it's kind of pointless unless you're going for boss instakills or loop achievements

[@IamJuzoo]

i just found this game today and i never woulda thought in a million years i would searched it up and seen eggsoup from brawl on here man never in my life 😭

[@beacon666]

A really fun run. Long loop, sacrifice and swarms. At the end of the stage turn all your items to scrap and the bloom turns it all to legendary. 50 stages I used a shrine of order and got about 6000 blooms

[@shahirali8235]

I never realised eggsoup and eggstew are the same person

[@Terminaut1]

I feel like this just works really well with forgive me please since it activated all of the on kill reds which are very powerful. Maybe with one gesture of the drowned too.

[@LokiaBagel]

Just realized your channel related to eggsoup. I've been watching both channels independently for a bit.

[@eggstew]

yo

[@edwardgray3803]

I accidentally picked one of these up the other day on stage 3 thinking it was a tentabauble and thought my run was completely ruined. I had 100% crit with shatterspleen and 10 shurikens from a printer and lost all of it (shatterspleen became useless). I knew I had to loop 'cause I was putting in all the artifact codes. Turns out, after a few stages I spiralled into one of the most overpowered god runs I've ever had and looped three times before melting Mithrix and the Voidling.

[@shroomer3867]

I screamed when you recycled Shatter Spleen

[@TF2_trout]

it drops for me all the time and i never take it. good to know its one of the rarer ones though.

[@Foot_Stank33]

The builds crazy defo trying it out

[@DanielKuligowski-y4o]

don't void items have rarities based on what they corrupt (e.g. LSLs being corrupted LMGs puts them as common voids and plasma shrimp being corrupted AtGs makes them uncommon voids)

[@efedemo3912]

[@owoowololo1543]

The worst thing about benthic bloom is that all crit and nearly all movement speed is in white and green items,

[@brodyfuhrman6066]

Well I'm getting is I should do this with an exponential items mod

"It's not even an hour and a half" probably because you're using a mod that lets you skip teleporter charging while not adding any time to the timer whatsoever?

I haven't watched the video, so idk if it gets solved in the video, but for real I NEVER see red printers in the game. In like 100+ hours I've seen only 1 red printer. Tbh I don't see much printers at all, maybe it's my luck, idk
