The Secret Survivor is... Interesting - Risk of Rain Returns

[@DisputedOrigin]

Apologies for the Original thumbnail folks, it didn't occur to me that it was a spoiler.

[@Anthaneus]

Thank you grandfather

[@narwhal4304]

I think the idea for Robomando, at least in singleplayer, is to speedrun looting a stage before too many enemies spawn. To be more specific, I don't mean full looting, more so going faster since money doesn't matter. This, in theory, creates a snowball effect where between getting items and drones for free + going faster than any other survivor, you outscale enemies so quickly. Though, I say all of this as someone that doesn't play Monsoon.

[@Nanoqtran]

It's actually a pretty good strat. You basically rush the teleporter and if you clear the boss fast enough you can double back for 90 seconds to open everything in the level (granted you don't get a empty/large map) his playstyles seems to be rush through levels vs farming them. You want more stages passed through instead of more items because you will naturally get more items if you keep progressing.

[@HannulWeah]

if you get a captain's brooch it's free loot and the unlock speed scales off attack speed so you can instantly unlock stuff with enough syringes/predatory instinct stacks/mocha/whatever else

[@noyukikun]

i played and beaten monsoon with robo first is using the hax skill on everything and anything you come across and hopefully you get lots and lots of drone friends and eventually hopefully a drone combiner the items ive found that were useful af for robo after just hording drones are things that give you attack speed and skill cooldown and infusion and that other item that boosts your hp by like 8% per stack then atleast one cape ( cause it looks cool) then things like feathers the feet item the gravity pack and red items being after burners and the mitosis item thing for equipment cd maybe even some ukeleles in there xD

[@Nanoqtran]

@@noyukikun robo is actually the first time I was able to get a tier 3 drone! Gold chain gun robot was doing some work.

[@Brass319]

the game makes his abilities seem a bit bad in the character select screen, but what the game DOESN'T tell you is that he's super fast and hard to hit, and his cooldowns are quite fast

[@Bofrab]

Robomando to me feels like a homage to the original Risk of Rain. They are small like the old characters, they can’t move and shoot like the old characters, and their dodge is kinda feeble like original Commando. It feels like them making a character that feels like a non Returns character, but then giving them stuff that makes them on par with the new updated characters like their secondary being able to stun enemies, and buying mechanical items like chests and drones for free!

[@rowleyryan9025]

I also thought it was a reference to original commando

32 views, your channel's finally popping off, dude! Congrats!

[@muffinman6136]

Good to see grandpa is keeping his mind healthy and exercised lately!!!

[@stevered9659]

It’s wild seeing someone play this character and not open every thing you see

[@monkeytoes1155]

He plays the game so badly it's painful to watch

[@maskettaman1488]

Not necessary most of the time especially if you're keeping ahead of the clock

[@JackLoveday]

@@maskettaman1488 i stopped watching when he spawned next to a chest and didnt open it.

[@massgunner4152]

​@@maskettaman1488his 4th ability uses nonshrine items for free and has a 4 second cooldown, it literally saves time to use the ability when you would rather farm or ignore chests.

[@maskettaman1488]

@@massgunner4152 Sure but that doesn't mean you need to open everything you see

[@twangus7766]

Don't know if you realised during the run but, you are shorter than greater wisps and archaic wisps can reach, basically making you immune to them so long as you stay on the ground.

[@noyukikun]

actually played robomando on monsoon and to actually start getting a good run bros ability to open expencive chests and drone friends for free is really really nice if your lucky with drone spawns first just picking up any and every drone you see while looping if you get the drone upgrader really helps since robomandos dodge is silly xD

[@Blexmer1]

Also the fact you will never be priced out of a drone being picked back up is huge.

[@Tae-Kwon-Dovahkiin]

Running around really fast and stealing all the loot like a little gremlin is hilarious to me.

[@taigamoth]

getting to the dancing golems is really easy if you have a single hopoo feather and drop down from the Cabin (also you ARE able to use Classified Access Codes against Providence)

[@Anthaneus]

Thanks for the tutorial on gooning, I’ll be sure to use that in my next run!

[@lordhelix7937]

You’re welcome for helping with gooning

[@gameringdudeguy1126]

im stroking my goon rn i got lotion on my goon right now just gooning rn

[@juhnegg1041]

Dont forger to jelq your robomando (it boosts performance by 20%)

[@FantasyKeyboard]

Using robomando's skill for drones is his best thing imo, simply because you can always repair them for free, never have to worry about cost.

[@DeathDragon1730]

I love robomando as a joke character, because all of his abilities are absolute jokes other than his 4. He’s basically just items on legs.

[@charlesblake9261]

Imo he's the strongest char, fast move speed + hack basically just captain from ror 2 on Crack, doesn't matter how weak you are when u can just rush through levels and get items/equipment to carry ur dmg.

[@nah-dx3wc]

@@charlesblake9261absolutely not, pilot and drifter are 10x better

[@rowleyryan9025]

@@nah-dx3wcI honestly think drifter is the best character in the game

agreed but i prefer merc, the parry is godly and half the kit gives s

[@venomous7321]

i think it would have been super sick to watch robomando continue the run after he killed you. im imaging dope music and credits in the background as i watch

[@anonymous_octopie9612]

35:36 After I did some testing today, I found it only works on enemy logs. Not the stage logs. No idea why.

[@teethcoat4274]

Do boss logs recycle into boss items? it seems they have a yellow outline so i reckon its possible

[@sparky6757]

You can use the equipment, and you don't have to die on the Drizzle run. I used the battery to proc Bottled Chaos and I killed Providence to end the first run. Just to clear up some confusion for anyone doing this themselves

[@Sithisine]

using the strange battery makes a ukelele projectile

[@antoinepfen9904]

Loved the afterburner part. Now you can miserably flop on the ground two more times !

[@itspractical5005]

I cant believe they added rex to risk of rain return

[@element_119]

It makes me really happy to hear underappreciated C418 music!

[@thegoldenraysoftheglorious1180]

Not to be a killjoy but I don't think C418 is underappreciated. He is a pretty damn popular musician due to his work on minecraft. Or maybe I miscontrued the comment and it actually meant that the songs themselves were underapreciated compared to his other stuff. Sorry if that is so.

[@daktotathecolossus7404]

⁠@@thegoldenraysoftheglorious1180I think its the second thing. They said C418 MUSIC not just C418, so they were referring to those specific tracks used being underrated

[@tabbyabby3525]

Do you know the name of the song in the beginning? Thanks in advance!

[@element_119]

​@tabbyabby3525 That one at the beginning is "this doesn't work", from One, by C418. I highly recommend the album, and I'd consider it one of Daniel's best works!

[@element_119]

​@@thegoldenraysoftheglorious1180No worries! I'm well aware of Daniel's popularity from Minecraft, and I was indeed referring to his work outside of that. I think that it gets overshadowed by the Minecraft soundtrack and deserves more recognition than it usually gets!

[@PickIeJuice]

if you go behind the storage unti you put the battery in there is a secret mercenary skin

[@blitzboy2934]

Hi disputed! Im really liking these videos showing your monsoon stuff since im too bad to play monsoon.

[@gameknight1971]

Pro Tip: If you mash jump while climbing, you go faster than if you where just holding up!

[@furret_walk8130]

new update changed this and now best way to climb ropes fast is with hopoo feathers and vertical movement items jumping off rope, using hopoo, grab rope again, repeat

[@Plasmahawk07]

And so it left… the robots origins… disputed

[@gato3013]

seeing him walk past drones and chests is making me hurt

[@LightCrib2]

21:10 I think they meant physically smaller lol

[@herbertbertsherbertthethir9807]

Watching him not unlock the cabin and instead walk all the way back to to the top of the map was painful

[@carsonman0762]

Robomando is literally just the moms credit card kid character

[@mynameed7720]

Beat a run on Rainstorm as Robomando last night...felt like I was storming the beaches of Normandy. God help me for when I get good enough at this game for Monsoon

[@Patwick]

Was that marble blast ultra music at 18:45 ???

[@PrayerPoints92]

Did I hear the Marble Blast Ultra music? talk about a nostalgia trip

[@grummdoesstuff2983]

As far as joke/secret characters go, Heretic is definitely more interesting and stronger than ROBOMANDO, but I’d be lying if I said ROBO wasn’t fun. Plus, I’m multiplayer, he makes it so NO ONE has you buy chests as long as you have some team coordination.

[@Colechamdiceman]

Awww... I found that battery on a run but it wouldn't let me pick it up... Didn't know you had to pick it up at the 23 minute mark dang

[@Painbow]

9:40 I was there grandpa

[@robyn_wonderswag]

I'm currently watching a recent stream vod, and the smash bros melee opening song came on and I was vibing so hard THEN YOU SKIPPED IT. that was not very cash money

[@MeatGolf2]

That one chatter deserves recognition for the encyclopedia inside their head

[@Fermentos]

I lost the first try to picking up a scarf from an elite mob and the second try I died in lava because commando dash could not get into the secret room on stage four

[@Srcsqwrn]

No Robomando art 😔 What a fun lil character they added!

[@light6532]

Sadly Robomando have no Log or any story about him after you able to finish a run

[@KayOScode]

No one was going to legitimately find him because you have to wait for 22 mins on the second run. Not just the drizzle lock. I believe people first found it through modding

[@renatoafonsomaiacarneiro950]

I beat the game with him relatively easy. All you need is to add a lot of drones and, wyerdly enough, meele itens like the frost relic, really good. Evem beter if you find a drone assembly!

[@aidenmclaughlin1076]

I unlocked robomando without telling my buddies, and joined a run with them and stole all of the items immediately. He’s so dumb we were all loosing our shit, it was awesome 😂

[@abra_escaped]

Didn't even occur to me that you could unlock aerial support by climbing vines, I thought you just had to get a really long parachute drop and a big group of enemies Using the battery does nothing as far as I can tell but it does have a 45s cooldown

[@abra_escaped]

That beam drone put in some WORK on the wurms, completely melted both of them with some super well timed shots

[@supercato9613]

It does a short range chain lightning. The damage isn't great.

[@theevolution6334]

Dude I keep tryna get robomando but my game crashes every time and I don't even have prophet's cape

[@literally1751]

I love robomando. I got my first monsoon win with him.

[@MesaCoast]

Temporary copies of Dios are game breaking btw. My friend triggered a temporary copy of dios and then it never went away, any time he died for the rest of the run it revived him again

[@Quack-hh1fj]

Just tried to do the unlock and the game hard crashed when I died to robomando, now I have to do it all again. Pain.

[@FatalWalk3rFilms]

Can you do this on multiplayer?

[@kumamarru5492]

Ugh, I've been trying to experience this new game blind and enjoy the new stuff it had to offer. Can youtubers give us a least a little time before they start spoiling secrets in titles and thumbnails?

[@LunarisRuin]

If you've been on the net long enough you should know if you want to be spoil free (particularly of something that is new) to completely avoid any and all social media. No KZbin, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, no nothing. Otherwise you always gamble and, imo, forfeit any complaining.

[@levalla]

why no hack stone :'3

[@themainveztex6020]

In Risk of Rain 1, any unlocks you made on Drizzle didn't count. You needed to do it on at least Rainstorm to unlock anything. I kind of liked that honestly. Made going for unlocks feel more like a journey instead of a checklist item

[@aquamarinerose5405]

As someone who's spent admittedly a bit too long on Drizzle in 2, I'll argue against unlocks being locked to rainstorm.. Though that's mostly because of things like how Commando needs to go through 20 stages of looping without lunars and kill an Overloading Wrym to get 2 of his alternate abilities. or Huntress who needs every bit of help she can gets to clear stage 3 hitless to get the version of her Ult that actually works right.

[@scrat9870]

As somebody who has one night a week to play games with my friends, No I disagree. Let me get things

[@aquamarinerose5405]

@@scrat9870 Also this. Granted, I also understand the concept of wanting to keep unlockables locked behind a player explicitly getting BETTER at the game, but it also kinda screws over more casual players or those who want to unlock things before they do a DEEP DIVE just in general.

[@LunarisRuin]

I agree. Unlocks actually felt like an achievement in the original RoR. Now it's just basically handed to you. Good for casuals I guess.
