I dont even know what to say...

Buddy and I did a run earlier, looped after killing the alloyed collective boss (can't remember the name - Solus Heart maybe?) and we were both busted. One shotting everything that spawned. Got to mithrix and just couldn't kill him. Had defense and damage and mobility, we just couldn't kill him. We'd burst him down to 2 million health, about 10% of his health, he'd use the shield and then he'd be back at 2.2-2.4 million health. We couldn't figure out how to stop him from healing.

We were running huntress and drifter. Artifacts were sacrifice, swarms, and evolution. I don't remember what items he had but it wasn't anything crazy.

Basically my question at the end of this ramble is: how do you deal with mithrix healing himself? He'd heal a ton while the shield was up so we couldn't find a counterplay. Eventually stood still and let him kill us.

Average runs no longer viable, you have to be op in damage or mobility (probably both) or you lose. Rng skill issue i guess.

Extremely strong Enforcer run that I looped like 4 times, had a 57-leaf clover and went through every stage opening equipment barrels until I got two Tricorns and shot a Magma Worm and Overloading Worm

But then on the same stage I shot the last Worm... I hit the teleporter without switching it to the planet and got stuck 😭

I had all the items for both things and was planning on killing all the bosses but just ended up killing Mithrix and Voidling 🥲

In the overview tab of acolyte, the second "tip" says that the bola throw souls can trigger on hit and on kill effects but in my testing I have found that this is not the case. The on kill effects only occur if the enemy the soul is tied to also dies, but then the soul doesn't also have the effect. This may just be my fault for not understanding what the overview means.

Like genuinely there's so many ways to make it at least more likely, make it so that you can only get duplicate pages after getting all the pages, or you can use the shredded page as a one time Reincarnation to access it or hell make it so that you use all your pages to sacrifice them all to fight the secret boss.

The secret boss is so cool but it's such a shame it has one of the worst ways to fight it, the DLC has definitely been growing on me but this is something I cannot defend at all. The secret boss is not that fun or engaging when you just nuke him off petrichor to a run that has looped a bajillion times or true the sheer power of command.

Today I found that if you trade all your abilities away and become the heretic, and you also do the challenge to survive as a Lemurian for 15 seconds, you will not switch back and you will be trapped as the Lemurian FOREVER.😭 Has this happened to anyone else?

Weird bug I found while playing REX with the new alt utility. It started in the void fields and continued to happen in the next stages.

Like was this thing even playtested? It's either you focus items and get your firepower up but spend 2 whole minutes doing that or you just get absolutely mollywomped by the enemies THAT ARE ALL ELITE BTW. Genuinely ended soo many of my runs I hate it so much it sucks

Why when i fight false son i get blue and red healthbar? Also when i play him enemies do. I am new to the game and was wondering about this.

I dropped into Distant Roost (as Enforcer) and as soon as I dropped, I could see the top of a chance shrine behind the pod. It takes 17 gold. You start with 15. I immediately turned around (after exiting the pod) and I saw a purple Lemurian. Shot him twice with M1, immediately turned around again, hit the shrine and a RED popped out! All within 15 seconds hahaha. I honestly cant remember the last time a red came out of the chance shrine, and the very FIRST item too!

It's pretty contentious as to who's the best survivor, so thought to open up a poll to see community's take. Couldn't fit every survivor into the poll, so I've picked the 6 that are often argued to be the strongest.

I really don't understand it. I have heard it doesn't fix his weaknesses, but... I don't think that's the case? Honestly, I think the only thing they didn't make harder is his anti - aerial means, and even that only applies to abilities that grant outright flight, or a very long time in the air (Seeker and Arti), since if you aren't careful and mistime, for instance, bonus jumps from Bandit's Utility, the aftershocks after his slam attack will kill you. They fixed phase 2 being a pushover and a filler phase because now the constructs can actually become dangerous, if they get the right items, plus he triggers the pizza attack throughout the fight. His invincibility shields make phase 4 significantly more interesting since now, you can't just get one item back and then blitz him down (I mean, there always is that point in the fight where you've recovered enough items that it's trivial, well now you actually have to earn that moment by surviving him and you can't just press the equipment button and reach that point instantly). The spires complement another one of his weaknesses, that being, his inability to do area control/attack from range, and they do it in a way that I think is kinda cool - you either focus them and risk (of rain) getting jumpscared by the boss or you focus on Mithrix and you have to be careful because if you get into the area of one of the spires you suddenly take like, double damage from everything, are so slow you practically can't dodge, and are really easy to kill if he decides to attack. Plus, they add to Pizza's difficulty since they make the covered area much bigger. Just in general, I feel like it's a pretty solid rework of the fight, and now that it's gonna be optional on eclipse, I don't really find anything I can complain about. Thus, I really wanna ask - why do people consider it bad? Or is it just the fact that most of the people who post about it at all are the ones who feel negative about it, and all of Karma lovers are lurking?

Quick edit - please no "Karma is not optional on eclipse" complaints since we all know that's about to change.

Can someone tell me what the last monster I have locked is still? I cannot for the life of me remember.

A piece to the larger puzzle

Prompt list by Guntho on the ROR discord

Has anyone had this issue where they spawn in and can't move or shoot? I've tried disconnecting my KBM, verifying the files, and uninstalling the game, but so far nothing has worked. I can still remap the keybinds, though, if that helps

disclaimer, full merc solo main bias included.

out of all of the bosses, this one disappointed me the most. i think e8k8 mithrix is lacking because the fight itself was not changed in any way to make it meaningfully harder. the fight oozes with artificial padding that makes him take forever to kill since even e1 gives him the shields. as mercenary imo the name of the game is staying the fuck away from him since unlike every other boss in the game, new mithrix doesnt stop teleporting. there are hardly safe times that i have found besides post slam to actually fight.

...so i got my royal capacitor and stood on top of the pillar and cheesed the fight all the way from phase 2 and on. and to be quite honest, why is this still possible? i imagine many other characters get up there without too much difficulty as well. for such a hyped up rework i would think this basic cheese wouldnt work anymore.

i was surprised to see the community not like voidling or solus wing, but as merc i love them. i have to strafe and cycle cooldowns according to their attacks so i dont instantly die, but with mithrix he just ends my eviscerate early which makes me very one shot-able. and phase 4, while most certainly easy for other characters, is still beyond being worth running up to as merc so once again that pillar and royal capacitor will be your best friend except this time he has shields and heal drones to prolong it.

overall i am shocked this boss and the HC secret boss were developed around the same time. i feel like the best strategy for this boss is to sadly not engage with it at all as everything he does is fuck you damage at fuck you speed with fuck you health and fuck you shields that prevent you from cashing out the damage you earned. at least if the shields were gone, i could risk myself by blitzing him. if the boss is WAY too free with a certain strategy/not hard on some characters but actually dumb to fight when you engage with it "normally", its a questionable fight.

People always compare Operator to Pilot, but I've genuinely never seen the reason.

They have different primaries, different secondaries, different specials. The only slightly similarity (other than colour scheme) is Ascent Protocol and Parachute being kinda similar, but they're really not. Artificer's Ion Surge is more similar to Parachute, and Operator has nothing similar to Pilots alt utility.

I'm not saying this to just complain, and I really don't want to give that impression. I say all this to say actually, they're very different, and let's not write off Pilot as a potential new survivor for no reason, because I really want him in the game. They're different, and rather then compare them, let's just have both! Two cakes!

Pretty please add Pilot, Gearbox. Every old survivor should come back tbh, except robomando and Han-D (since he's dead lmao).

I fell off the edge and got placed back under the map in the sulphur pools. In between a rock and another rock. There was no way out so I just had too wait for the boss to finish me off. If there is an unstuck mechanic and I missed it let me know!

I just finished a run on monsoon, where on the first map there were only 3 item crates, and on the fucking second stage there were like 4 item crates.

I gen don't know if im being a dumbass, but thats the 3rd time this happened to me since I came back to play the game this week and I cant keep going on,

most of the other runs I had weren't as extreme as this ones but I still felt the lack of item crates compared to before.

(IDK if it is a important factor to this but I also bought the drones DLC and don't know if this was fixed on the new one, but if I need to buy another DLC to fix this idk if I can keep playing the game)

Edit: Thank you for your replies guys, I think you are right and I was just being extremely unlucky, and I was a little tilted when I wrote this because its been a whole week of runs like that. But yeah I will keep playing it until something clicks

started at 0 karma, screenshot taken shortly after interacting with the second cell. Yes, I know Im playing with mods so if this can't be replicated in vanilla then my bad ig.
