The SECRET SURVIVOR in Risk of Rain Returns..

[@Cap_]

Don't use the Sacrifice Artifact on the first run, it won't work (All the various types of bugs should be fixed now with the latest update hopefully)

[@nickythenickname]

took me a bit to realize that myself. makes sense though since you need both a chest-like urn and a chest to put the item in

[@Fuligin]

You should sticky this comment imo

[@OrloxPhoenix]

The chest spawns in the 2nd run even if you have Sacrifice on? 🤔

[@Cap_]

@@yungmozzarella8200 you'll have to find the mando on the stage, you don't spawn next to it. I coulda been clearer on that for sure

[@OrloxPhoenix]

@@yungmozzarella8200 some dude said on a different comment that you never spawn there, the video was weirdly edited (not on purpose, i think) and it makes it look like you spawn there, but you actually need to find the tiny "room" in the video, somewhere in the map.

[@rockstoneson6330]

Please note: If you fight the robot whilst you have the prophets cape, when he tries to take the cape there will be a code error and you will crash. This is caused by there not being a model for his boss variant wearing the cape. If this crash happens, you need to completely restart the entire process. I found this out after 2 hours of searching for them and was not happy.

[@Cap_]

I feel like you're gaslighting me into thinking I didn't say that in the video lol

Alternatively if you wait, sometimes while the game is crashing it still does give the achievement, someone else's vid online has the moment it gave the achieve while their game was crashing

[@noahthompson4925]

Please help. I did the whole process, and the boss item right before I got to him was cape. It spawned right on top of me. I figured I'd just finish anyway since I did all the effort, and the game crashed. So I went through the entire process again, and it just didn't work. I got all the way to stage 4, and it spawned me in the lava stage with no robomando to be found.

[@elfrangofrito]

Honestly, I'm glad I got spoiled of this because I would have NEVER found out about it on my own lol I found the battery but didn't find where to use it

[@IMFERMO.]

Exact oposite here, found the golems and the weird box wanting an equipment, thought it was like one of those ror 2 drones but nope

[@squidish6041]

for me, it was the corpse of robomando himself i found. when it said "requires 1 battery", i thought it was like the keycards on Contact Light so i first ran around looking for it before looking it up and realising i had accidently went to the stage on the 22nd minute to see robomando. truly something i would never have figured out myself

[@KayOScode]

I didn’t find any of it, but now I know

[@elfrangofrito]

I imagine this is how Robomando was found in the first place. Different people found different parts of the puzzle and shared them with each other trying to fit them together lol

[@thesongbird1679]

Id found both the chest and battery on separate runs, but never would have expected how specific all this is to accomplish.

[@commanderdemonno9819]

this guy's unlock condition sounds like a playground rumor i'm saying this as somebody who has robomando

[@underdoug]

Half expected to find him under a truck, although I suppose the Contact Light almost counts.

[@General_C]

At least we don't have to use Strength on it?

[@Bizzozeron]

We designed it exactly to sound completely stupid and made up point for point pulled from shit from our childhoods like lies about getting mew or unlocking wario in smash 64 lmao.

[@Catgirl_Yuri]

if you dont have mobility to get out of the top of the ship, you can also leave through the cabin section that you unlock with a keycard

[@idkwatimdoingtbh]

I had to do this twice because I was playing Drifter and in the middle of the little easter egg fight I kinda wanted to mess around and see if he could be beaten, so I spawned some temp items in the middle of the fight and one of them must have been the cape because my game crashed without granting me the unlock.

[@ajhintleman215]

I JUST finished following someone else's guide to this and unlocking him, (as well as trying him out lol) and I spent at least 5 minutes listening to the BANGER track the Golems are listening to down there. Like seriously, if you're doing this secret, chill with the golems for a few minutes. The tune goes SO hard and I can't wait til someone uploads it.

Chris always goes hard with his music !

[@ZeroTTTempest]

if you finish the game with him you may like the credits song :)

[@RexRagerunner]

Check if its the same song in Risk of Rain 1 since the same easter egg was there too. If thats the case, its already on youtube.

[@goose6555]

To find the boombox room, you can also go to the cabin, go to the right, drop off the map while moving left and youll get to the room.

[@mailcs06]

Robomando is such a funny little guy I love him. He’s so small he has to jump to reach a lot of the ladders on the contact light

[@Bandit74100]

One thing I'll add to this, if you finish the game as Robomando, the ending song will be changed to a kinda funny upbeat track. Instead of the vocal track for coalescence.

[@mailcs06]

Yeah. It captures a “Mission Complete!” vibe fitting of Robomando’s backstory of being on a salvaging mission.

[@purpleblah2]

You don’t have to go on top of the ship, you can go through the Cabin area if you have a keycard

[@rubixclockpog]

A helpful tip is that if you ever die during the second run (not on drizzle), then you'll have to do the first run all over again on drizzle since you'll have to insert the strange battery into the chest again. Also, robomando doesn't spawn on all map variants.

[@tobinfox]

Thank you! Very helpful comment.

[@mailcs06]

Note that you can also access the path to the golem room from the cabin

[@KieranPlaysAlot]

Made a guide for this just a little bit ago, great work on the video!!

[@TewbBelrog]

I'm actually more curious if anyone chronicled how the community worked to solve robomando instead of learning how to do it myself. I find the process of uncovering secrets more fascinating than the secret itself but its daunting to have to sift through kilometers of theorycrafting scrolls to find the whole story.

[@abcrasshadow9341]

There is a secret code on every survivor that the community translated which is a very rough guide to the unlock, then a crafty individual figured out what the rough was about and completed it and made an easier guide to follow!

[@cardanvar]

In the #theorycraft channel is all the info, if you ask we would also explain it to you ^^

[@88Spint]

Don't run on the outside of the ship in step two, jsut find a keycard in the left part of the ship and unlock the lower right door. what you want is right outside the window. ez

[@PsychoticDreams0]

I love dying right before the fourth stage.

[@zzayy8282]

wouldn't have stood unfound for a long time at all, but 22 minutes is kind of insane to have known. I figured out the battery + bottom of launchship part almost immediately passively playing the game (10 hours+)

[@crummyautumn]

Worked great thanks.

[@MunitionsDudTester]

straight and to the point. Thank you

[@chiptastick-7823]

Wow, I had found the the mini commando location by accident then. But I thought the battery would have come from the drop pod like in ror2. Guess I gotta go unlock the little guy no. Thanks for the video!

[@danplays6273]

Yeah me too, plus I got a rare commando skin in a attempt at this secret character

[@lukepartridge490]

tried to get this earlier today and died after getting the battery out of the chest on stage 2. now it seems like neither the battery pot on stage 5 or the battery chest on stage 2 will spawn. im probably missing something but it feels like its bugged.

[@Cap_]

make sure you're on drizzle for the pot to spawn with the battery inside it

[@lukepartridge490]

@@Cap_ ive made sure im on drizzle every time for the pot and rainstorm every time for the chest, what im maybe suspecting is that the chest only spawns on sky meadow and not fungal caverns as i dont think ive seen anyone find it on that stage and i havent managed to gotten sky meadow in like 6 runs

@@lukepartridge490 hmmm, thats strange. lmk if you make any progress on fixing it. would love to know

Good thing to mention is that the Robomando can spawn in any place of the map, not just close to the teleporter.

[@jonnyxstar]

DUDE I DID IT AND MY GAME CRASHED, I’m doing it again!!

[@echo3s191]

This is such a cool secret, but really frustrating. Did the challenge and the game crashed right as I died even though I didn't have the cape. What's funny is that I had other challenges that I completed in the same run that saved, but robo didn't.

[@victorsmith8699]

i found the battery and the chest on my 3rd winning run and mange to first put a normal equipment first then understood what the chest did but figuring out to go to stage on 22 mins i would have never walked into that

[@weylinstoeppelmann9858]

I see a lot of potential in it as a drone playthrough character? Basically no matter how expensive the drones get to repair you can revive them I think Only problem so far is I rarely seem to be finding drones, and better hope they don't die out of bounds or something.

[@iguanasandwich28]

I unlocked Drifter with Robomando, needless to say it was a piece of cake lol

[@scooberz2015]

Ya Drones are its lifeblood, especially in multiplayer. He's incredible in that setting though, free chests for everybody as well as the ability to funnel DPS items to others while you pick up every drone to gain some passive DPS.

[@dominikmagnus]

First, when I heard about there being secret survivor, I thought to myself "yeah, I could find it myself, no need to rush things". And now after unlocking every achievement, here I stand looking at this guide. I would've never gotten it, since I don't play on Drizzle. Goddam. I guess sometimes you gotta suck a little...

[@Calamity556]

I never would have found this on my own. Thanks for the video!

[@cardanvar]

I'm part of the team that discovered and tested the method of unlocking! Glad to see the community enjoying Minimando As a side note: You can do either the battery or the robot spawn run with artifacts active (except sacrifice because that would prevent robot from spawning) and you can change the rules so you can deal 200% damage and enemies do 10% to you, it makes this so much easier for those who are struggling with the difficulty but want to unlock Robomando ^^

[@cardanvar]

Also I'm glad that none of this depends on RNG, if you the steps right you're guaranteed to get Robomando

[@Srcsqwrn]

How did you all figure it out?

[@Cap_]

Yeah gg to the team who discovered this. Shits nuts and I would've never figured it out lol

[@commanderdemonno9819]

alright wise guy i have a question *_HOW_* did you figure out the whole 22 minutes thing

[@DigitalWolverine]

It doesn’t have to be 22 minutes exactly, just at least 22 minutes. The funny thing is they tried datamining and it was really well hidden. They figured out he spawns on rainstorm+ but they didn’t realize the battery doesn’t spawn on anything but drizzle, leading to a lot of confusion.

[@jcook7408]

You can use the command artifact to make this a little easier as you can control what items you get. Obviously, you still gotta get battery and do the rest of it the usual way.

[@huntapb]

I tried that but the supply chest doesn't spawn. Sat here with the battery and no chest to put it in...

[@danplays6273]

@@huntapb that’s probably what happened to me too

[@huntapb]

I've seen others get it with Command, so it's not that, so it's either because of playing in Classic mode or it's a bug. Will test tonight.@@danplays6273

[@DarkPrince533a]

So I'm playing on the Switch, and after finishing the teleporter on stage three I waited around until 22:15, with the battery in hand, no artifacts enabled, on rainstorm difficulty, and spawned on the correct stage but not in the space where Robomando is, he was also nowhere to be found anywhere else on the stage. Seems to be some kind of glitch, going to bank the battery in the equipment storage again and start over.

[@DarkPrince533a]

Trying again seemed to fix it, if something similar happens to you, simply go to the contact light and bank the battery again, then try another run on rainstorm

[@sagehanson190]

The creator corrected himself in the comments and said you need to find the secret space where robomando is buried. Maybe you missed it?

[@danplays6273]

I can’t reuse the equipment chest

[@insaneape1091]

Ive done this twice now and bugged both times play on drizzle, get the battery, give it to the chest behind the robots, start a new run on rainstorm, get the battery from the chest on stage 2, beat the stage 3 tp boss, wait for the timer to be between 22:01 and 22:59 (ive gone around 22:10 both times), finally I use the teleporter, and i spawn normally in the stage. (I didnt get magma caverns either time)

It should be hidden on any stage 4

[@beeegman]

DUDE. I went under the light out of curiosity and found he golems which i was thoroughly charmed by and then saw the chest so i was like ooh cool secret, I killed providence started another run and found the chest on a stage which gave me back my Thquibs and i felt very disspointed, I did so much of this with no idea of it's existence
