The year is 2037. Finding a vase in Risk of Rain 2 now allows you to skip every stage, teleporter, pillars, and all mitrhix stages, ending every run in only a few minutes with no combat required. Racers no longer even pick up preons and capacitors unless truly desperate. There are no FMP builds anymore. Only vase.

[@TheToasterWaffle]

"In December 2036 when during a looped challenge run, a speedrunner discovered that at very precise angles Vase can actually do infinite damage and clip through terrain stopping at any interactable. On top of last months discovery that you could skip teleporter events by a frame perfect teleporter activation upon exiting the wormhole, world record is currently 0:47 seconds."

[@Mar-zw3eu]

Just point the vase to another planet

[@Brass319]

if you're really precise you can land it directly in the boss arena from anywhere on the planet, arriving straight on top of mithrix' head

[@Tenderofyggdrasil]

Vase went from being one of the worst equipments in the game on every teir list to being one of the best so fast. People didn't realize how versetile it was back in the day

[@RiverWilliamson]

There's no way it's as "simple" as dropping out of the quantum tunnel on his head. Oh no, it is

[@Cap_]

Enjoy breaking the game o7

[@mr.sandwich8178]

I'm surprised this wasn't discovered earlier for how simple it looks.

[@Pufftarot]

You gotsa jump on big hammer man, I think it makes sense it wasn't discovered until now

[@Alphie_]

in 2025 we won't even be fighting Mithrix, we'll just be stunlocking and then proc'ing a band

I do that already

time to find a phase 2 and 3 skip to just skip the entire fight

[@Iranofideaswhilewritingthis334]

This kinda works like a P3 skip tho

[@maxmanchik]

Technically, it works for phase 3 or you can always just use a well timed Diablo Strike with fire band. So, now we have Phase 1, 3 and 4 skips

[@Windette]

Hahahahaha the rancho relaxo scene was beautifully executed

[@Cap_]

It was vital to the video, couldn't have lived without it o7

[@puporongod]

About 11:55, there isnt really a threshold for damage to cause aggro swaps, but a timer of a few seconds where the AI will "listen" for what recently hit it and retarget when it runs out (possibly 5 seconds?), so even a measly gunner drone will steal aggro unless the damage on mithrix is constant (like from a dot or high firerate). This is also why Mithrix tends to focus down on high firerate or bleed-causing players instead of slow hitters in coop, as they tend to trigger attacks right after this timer runs out.

[@chomperwithcheesecake]

9:52 first ror2 creator not to immediately downplay blight while mentioning it, very impressive

[@FallenKingdom410]

He is the creator of the video everyone refers to when talking about poison vs blight lmao

no this is mithrix phase 1 skip

[@klamalk2478]

I’m a simple man; I hear transistor music, I hit like. Seriously though, great info, thank you!

[@Sockster27]

could you skip setup altogether by going in multiplayer and having one player go to the sweetspot while one waits to enter?

[@Cap_]

yup :)

[@Jqcksremmurd]

@@Cap_ how would it work in multiplayer? Wouldnt mithrix attack the other player? Or would both players need to get on his head?

[@RecordedSpace0880]

​@@Jqcksremmurd The exploit only requires that the person who has aggro is always in the right position, so in multiplayer there's two options. 1: One person gets in position then everyone triggers the fight. Only the person on Mithrix's head attacks, because anyone else taking aggro would wake him up. 2: Same as number one, but other people also get on top of Mithrix's head. As long as all the attackers are positioned properly, than anyone he aggros should still be a negative distance away and he should stay dormant. Keep in mind that Engi's turrets _may_ get in the way of other player's attacks, I can't remember if they're solid for your teammates or not.

[@Sogudu]

Awesome discovery! Thanks for putting together a great vid to show us

[@fungalPS]

Yes, but its somehow wayy nuttier that whatever anyone could've imagined lol

Any advice on getting to mithrix? Stuck on stage 1..

[@spongmoid842]

defeat the teleporter for a stage 1 skip

[@ocks_dev_vlogs]

amazing video, but you call it hurtbox instead of hitbox, video is unwatchable

[@Cap_]

it is the hurtbox, comment unreadable

[@yqco6]

I'm guessing in multiplayer, only one player has to stand on top as long as the others don't aggro Mithrix? Similar to the interaction with engi and his turret?

[@haiderladha3737]

phenomenal video cap! I thought host skip was pushing boundaries... this is just crazy

Hammerhead got another skip? NICE ps. Chronobauble no longer a meme? 🤣

[@ThatLazyyGuy]

Anybody that plays eclipse seriously knows that chronobauble is a great item. In monsoon it’s not as needed because enemies are just so much slower but chronobauble is basically a movement speed item

Also this is a very easy bug fix. Just get the absolute value of the distance and you’re done.

[@coder5815]

Bro that rancho relaxo engie scared the shit out of me Cool reference

[@Fuzzymutt19]

Cap I’m confused. After you get Mithrix out of his dormant state, wouldn’t tentabauble do technically nothing? If I have 100% proc chance (hypothetical) and I stand right next to him applying root, he can’t move or attack right? What’s the point of trying to get the glitch off when he’s not dormant when tentabauble can just produce the same effect? Does mithrix have the ability to move / attack when in tentabauble? Is there a like 10 frame cooldown on when you can apply tentabauble and standing on top of him stops that? I’m confused.

[@Cap_]

Yeah mithrix is still able to use his attacks while tenta'd. so pizza, jumping to the center, etc. aren't stopped just by having tenta without the tech

[@Fuzzymutt19]

[@cadenmyers1982]

I literally did this by accident when playing with my brother on the same day I found this video. Mithrix just stood there and we were confused for a while so we didn't do anything either. Then my brother hit him and Mithrix charged after him immediately. What a weird interaction

[@Hlebuw3k]

@@Cap_ I genuenly do not understand your point and your response, the Mithrix bossfight is very simple with only a few key strategies to understand, there simply is not enough "bossfight" to "master" it for over 1000 hours. At most, it should only take an average person a few dozen deaths, maybe double of that if they're a slow learner, but in no way is thousands of hours justified to spend on mastering just one bossfight alone. Mithrix runs at you and you avoid his attacks, it should be obvious how to do that on the first time you see it, I'm genuenly perplexed at the mention of "thousands of hours to truly master" at the start of the video. There are no special behavior interactions between the boss and each individual survivor, he doesn't do commando, or huntress, or bandit specific attack patterns that do not happen on any other survivors. Mithrix is very predictable and straight forward. I've beaten Eclipse 8 and there is almost no difference, perhaps he is a little bit faster? But the strategy against Mithrix and his own attacks stay the same.

[@Cap_]

It's not that deep 👍

[@PoorEdward]

Thousands of hours to master with any survivor? Bit of an exaggeration.
