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
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
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
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.
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
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 😭
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
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
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
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
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 RU-vid. 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
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.
risk of rain 2 players on there way to create a 4000 word youtube comment on why benthic is the worst item when someone says they think benthic is fun 😭
@@thqwibble I'm one of those people who has multiple essays for why certain items/stages/strategies are objectively bad, but the one thing you can never trump with logic is "I think its fun", which at that point, you do you.
picking up weeping fungus as void feind caused a bit of mental pain edit: nvm i understand why you picked it up now, great to see you got back to your channel. you should always choose school over video games ❤
I got a benthic bloom on stage 1 once but i was playing with a friend so because we had to share my speed items kept getting destroyed and i was very weak, i feel like loader would go crazy with one tho becauze she doesnt have to worry about movement as much
The max dmg I got was with artificer long ago with shrine of order and a heck ton of crowbars and wisps in a bottle, I this for a 6 hours run(not sure it it was longer or shorter) I got 1Quatrilion with the old limit of 1Bilion dmg now with the limit raised at 1Trilion it may be even more cracked most likely I will try a 24 hours run with this but my pc will hate me
@@eggstew Exponential means it doubles each time. So for this, lets say you have Command. 1x Soldier Syringe 2x Soldier Syringe 4x Soldier Syringe 8x, 16x, 32x, 64, 128x, and so on. But be careful grabbing too many of one item because at some number it resets back to the start. Think it was around 1M? 1B? Cannot recall atm
"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?
This aint even that strong of scaling, i had a sacrifice and command artifact run going at stage 15 as bandit i didnt even have to click my mouse, as the wisp launcher trigered my 20 missiles which instakilled anything cuz of my 50 crowbars and focus crystal at which point the frost circle did the rest of the work, i did 1 billion damage and the most damage in one shot was 100 mil
this was with betterUI, but that is now outdated apparently so i swapped to LookingGlass. haven't tried it much so can't fully vouch but seems good so far
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
