The Most Annoying Achievement... but explained in insults. 

I like how he's surprised we passed the first stage when to even unlock captain you need to beat mithrix lmao

For anyone here that doesn't play risk of rain or hasn't unlocked the diablo strike yet: that quip at the end of the video wasn't an exaggeration, it actually does deal 40,000% of your normal damage. it's also one of the only abilities in the game to have friendly fire, in case your friend stole that one *really* nice item

Honestly this achievement is not hard at all. All it requires is that you use your brain.... oh wait...

As an achievement hunter, I'd love to see more of this type of video for other trophies that are categorised as "impossible" when in reality, they're just tedious.

makes me laugh how the community as a whole thought the 5 min rule was a good idea despite the math against it

“and the electricity can’t jump to the same enemy” survivors of the void: …and i took that personally

I don't even play this game but the names of these items sound funny

5:00 do NOT take brilliant behemoth. The explosion from the supply beacon drop can kill mithrix and won't count for the achievement

My almost thirty year old self: "Mom, dad is yelling at me again!" Mom: "What honey?" Dad: "Alright, you're somehow alive and a third of the way there."

I like his constant barrage of hate towards us while he is showing us his gameplay doing those mistakes, I like that he is one of us

I’m so dumb that I didn’t even know this game existed

Gotta say the time thing was dead wrong. Items make you strong way faster than time makes you weak. A good example of this is if you fight the boss on the first stage immediately before picking up any items, it's gonna be tough and slow. Time is definitely a factor but not something you need to worry about nearly as much as you think.

i like how the community collectively decided to go from "take 5 minutes or less no exceptions" to "yeah just loot the whole stage".

Ironically I cleared this achievement last night in my quest to 100% the game again, I got it on my second try. Forgot the name of the artifact, but the one that doubles enemies but lowers their HP made it so easy, since you can kill either mithrix and it counts. I stacked a bunch of crowbars, grabbed full crit and one shaped glass and popped him. Additionally, my brain peaked, you can get the REX achievement of healing for 1000 hp at once by just going to the bazaar with the leech equipment (heals for a percentage of damage dealt) and buying like 4+ shaped glass. Just activate the equipment and rightclick the shopkeeper. I laughed so hard.

As someone who never playe RoR, I feel like I got more knowledge of the game than if I played this game for a week

I just went in with 10 shaped Glass along with your strat. Saves the final phase a lot of time when he has so little health.

For those who haven’t played risk of rain 2 you’d have to unlock the character he played and most of the items he used before you can actually get the Diablo strike

I'm enjoying all these revamps of all the older videos. you've come a long way in not a long time.

At least one of us smoothbrain brethren will learn the dangers too many wax quails bring.

Fun Fact: Getting hit by your own diablo strike can have it’s uses. If you go to the base of the tree on the moon and let it hit you, the knock back can send you all the way to the top. Skipping the stage and letting you have another item rather than a vase or chrysalis

Alternatively, you can just stack a whole bunch of shaped glass, time that final stage just right, and take him out in one hit! Get enough teddy bears and attack speed to boost your projectile-killer drone and you'll be fiiiiiiiine!

Funnily enough, I got the achievement on my first captain run, because I found it hilarious you could kill bosses with the drop pods, so I figured I'd do it with all of them

I was trying to do this one, and I had too much crit that I straight up murdered him with orbital strikes at almost half health. i was no too happy

This guide is incredible, but the time advice (unless you're solely referring to this achievement and not the whole game) is not as helpful is you are skilled enough, know the map layouts, or have any movement. For example, for characters like captain, who can get items quickly, or commando and engineer, who can use items the most effectively, then you can fully loot the stage and outscale the game with your items.

On command I used a about 2-4 stacks of shaped glass and at least 10 AP rounds with an ocular HUD with enough gestures of the drowned to have full crit (obv you need to get the newt altar often to consistently get gestures) Highly recommend getting a single gas can on captain, since its godsend for crowd control on him with wisps. Using HUD saves you having to waste 10 common items on crit when it could be used for energy drinks and AP rounds instead, and you don't need shaped glass until you get to the moon grab as many shaped glass from the pods and if you built movement speed and feathers and quails right you can just stay in the air nearly forever and mow mithrix down every phase in less than 10 seconds so you can skip that stupid phase 2 mithrix attack. When he's weakened, he uses your shaped glass (meaning he also takes the 1/2 hp penalty making it easier to kill him) and if you hide at the right angle behind the ramp he cant hit you and you can still hit him. Also dio's best friend is a good legendary item since if you screw up/ run out of beacons you can just die then revive with full beacons back and try again. tldr: use shaped glass and AP rounds with 100% crit ocular HUD with ~8 gestures of drowned to make mithrix fight quicker, dios for if you screw up, then you can whittle him down like normal in phase 3.

This is the most aggressive Risk of Rain 2 guide I’ve ever watched and I’m loving it

Great guide, but four things to mention are one, do not worry about time. If you are picking up items, especially if you are playing command where you have pretty much a guarantee to get a god build every time, your power will scale much faster than the difficulty does. Two, captain's beacon procs brilliant behemoth and the explosion from it can kill mythrix. If this happens you will not get the achievement. Some reds you can pick up instead are laser scope (essentially free +50% damage if you have 100 percent crit), headstompers (broken damage, best utilized with movement items that make trimping easy and a stun beacon equipped as your other beacon), interstellar desk plant (monster tooth on crack, insane healing even with one stack), symbiotic scorpion (better shattering justice), rejuv rack (in combination with corpsebloom gives you 8x healing due to weird item interaction), soulbound catalyst (extra mobility if you have your eccentric vase equipped), and dio's best friend (nice to have in case after all of this you somehow mess up) Third, titanic knurl is a shit item and a complete nothing burger. Since shatterspleen and both perforators (the superior boss items) ruins the build, some other boss items you could get instead are little disciple, which deals damage while sprinting and scales with movement speed. Extremely powerful, just be careful about using it during the last stage of the mythrix fight (although it should not be a problem if you are standing almost stationary on top of the pillars). And if you want healing, both genesis loop and mired urn wipe the floor with titanic knurl in terms of healing, again just be careful with these during the mythrix fight and Fourth, remember to pick up oddly-shaped opals for one-shot protection (tougher times is great too, especially if you get safer spaces, but otherwise prioritize opals and repulsion armor plates) Sorry for the long read, windette if for some reason you are reading this your guide was great and don't take this as criticism, it is just extra information that may help someone, whether these be things you overlooked or if your information was correct at the time but is now out of date. To everyone else, good luck with your achievement.

I am gonna be honest here, I did this achievement by accident. When I found out that beacons do dmg, I just thought "lets kill mithrix with the beacon" and just like that I had unlocked something which I had no idea even existed, XD

I actually did this achievement on accident and was laughing so hard through the entire thing

The 5 min rule really isn’t that important

this is the first video of yours I watched and damn, kinda hot, but also I appreciate the entertaining tutorial. I might watch more, since I kept seeing your videos pop up in my recommendeds.

This is an awesome video, I was able to finish this challenge first try thanks to you!

tbh best way to get people to not spend hours on a stage, and the way i mainly play as well, is with sacrifice too. no need to scavenge chests, item rng is fine. if you get that red, clover is now useful as well. ez wins

hardest achievement? fight me windette

This video made me want to try out this game and it's honestly really fun. Also great vid

this both helped me with the acheivo, and taught me about my new favorite reason to do command runs! (guaranteed crit plus shatterspleen = yum)

i just stacked crowbars and bought lots of shaped glass in the final stage, so when he absorbs your items you one shot him with your beacon

Artifact of glass, as many glass shards as you can buy, some crowbars and ampr, vase for tele cheese after stage 5, and wait till final boss phase to use beacons. Plus if you have no beacons and die then revived by a DIO, you get ur beacons back.

This… was not as hard as I was told by everyone… Like all you really need to get is Opal, Attack speed, and Crit/Watch. You can also get like 3-4 backup mags if you have a chronic fear of left clicking lightly instead of holding. This is so you can chip him down to 200-290 hp. Congrats, you have an achievement that is somehow less gratuitous then Merc’s perfect Prismatic Trial. Edit: also imagine using command and not just taking what you get B)

the video is about risk of rain but i feel like im watching hollow knight idiots guide all over again

That moment when you completed this achievement by accident on first ever captain run

3:48 this is completely wrong, as long as you're looting efficiently to get every chest your items and levels will outscale the monsters regardless of what difficulty you're playing on (this does not mean go slow, you should be spending 5-9 minutes (depends on size of stage) fully looting a stage for the best results)

Haven’t watched your stuff in a while and was a bit surprised. Idk how long ago your last ror2 vid was but your voice sounds different! You also sound a lot more confident with recording than I remember. Glad things seem to be going well for ya. Good vid too ofc

I followed you guide while using Diablo strike, great guide.

Didn’t you already upload this a while back

I did this first try my first run after the ability released, except I stood on a ramp when I fought stage 4 Mithrix instead of hiding on top of a pillar and dealing with the "stiff neck" problem this game likes to throw your way when dealing with ground based enemies.

Came back to this two years later and yes it still works my smooth brain took longer but it works 100%

Alternate strategy: 1. make sure you have artifacts of chaos and swarms on 2. Do whatever you want prior to mythrix 3. Grab Popcorn 4. Mythrix more than likely is at low enough HP that you can slap him with your supply drops (it doesn't matter which) and is probably standing still so have fun

I just stacked crowbar and 1 tapped him at the end.

What i did was just do a lot of shattered glass. Mithrix loses health with more glass if you have enough you can one shot him

Mithrix took all my repulsion armor plates and became invincible. I couldn't run very well from getting chronobaubled, his ukulele zapped me when he attacked my healing drones, and his defensive microbots shot down my attempts to strike him with orbital probes. Also, for some reason, his health kept increasing. He was over 26,000 before I decided to Leroy Jenkins

Mercenary: Etherial need I say more

I'm fairly new to the game. Only have 50 hours so far and played for 2 weeks-ish. I was just casually playing on Monsoon and saw the challenge. I was like "oh cool, I'll try to do that!" And I did it did on my first try with my buddy Andrew. Made me feel real good. Even better now knowing that people struggle with it. I'm part of the 3% to have the achievement, and makes me proud

5mins per stage nuh uh

Hollow knight music, and a RoR2 vid!? Double pog!

This works, first try! Thank you! Also you were completely right about making a tank / survivability build.

Items > time Always

I refuse to accept that 78 crowbars can not be good no matter how hard you try convince me it’s a “waste of white items” I want my 5,850% damage.

legit did this as an afterthought when I fought Mythrix on monsoon. I was getting him low in the last phase and I thought "oh yeah there's an achievement by killing him with a supply beacon" so i hit him with it... that was it, he died. Easiest achievement of my life

Gotta love theese videos of yours

Oh my god, the fact that he is insulting me while playing so fucking poorly makes me irrationally mad. like dude its not even monsoon.

I've never even heard of this game before, but I'll gladly let Windette insult me. 😌🙏

Man this is gonna be a wild ride

EVERY GAME THAT I HAVE PLAYED WINDETTE HAS A VIDEO ON IT AND WHEN I BUY MORE I DISCOVER MORE WINDETTE VIDEOS the cycle never ends.

You talk a lot of shit for someone who still believes in the five minute rule because Woolie said it once

69th like!

I litterally just watched the old one yesterday, I thought something was weird when I remembered a "new video" posted 45 mins ago

Sees video in recommendations: so it begins

I enjoy using the artifact of sacrifice along with the command one, then maybe the extra spawn rate one too

The only thing I would add is that you can get some shaped glass on the right side below the mythrix fight using the lunar pods with artifact of command. I think I got 3 of these and was able to one shot his final faze with the beacons.

2 years later we know that the 5 min rule is complete bullshit

I'm late, but honestly, for survivability i'd recommend first getting a Wax Quail as your first "jump" green, the inertia you get from it saves me on so many runs

I watch these just to feel something now a days

This video literally carried me first run, nice stuff. I then went on to hit a low health mithrix in his jump attack phase 2 with diablo strike and it procd bands and it instantly skipped 3rd phase. First monsoon completion :)

i just watched this video yesterday but it got upload today this is some trippy shit

3:42 full looting is the goat strat

i love the way this is done i feel like i'm being lectured by a drill sergeant

If it helps anyone then the coward’s way out of the 2nd phase goes like this: switch between the three pillars and the small one next to it (you should have enough feathers to do this safely) as you pass by each one you can damage him a little and you should be able to put damage his healing.

10/10 insults, its very cathartic both for the insulter and the insultee.

This is the video that helped me get into ror2 and now im almost at 100 percent and now the dlc for console is coming out now im loveing the game to this day so windete thank you if it wasn't for you I would not be playing to this day

instructions unclear, took void ukulele

I'd argue that the 5-6 minute marker is more specifically geared towards normal monsoon *maybe* for drizzle and rainstorm, it's much closer to 8-9, and for monsoon with command, it's absolutely at least 7 the reason you shouldn't pick a stage dry is because sometimes items aren't very useful, but when you can pick your items, this isn't an issue (unless you somehow click on an item that you didn't want).

4:05 small brain strats. The true optimal strategy is to get as many items as possible so you scale yourself faster than the enemies. since tp events increase the speed at which enemies scale and you dont increase your own power you'll get outscaled eventually.

i love his remarkable phrase "here is where things get interesting" been hearin it for a year now

Actually good advice, helped me get it

Couple of additions, lysate cells give you extra charges of your first beacon if you miss and brilliant behemoth also makes it easier to hit with them.

love listening to this video and getting 3 reds in one area 💀 (from 1 normal chest a large one and a shrine)

I think the hardest part about this one for me was by the time I got to Mythrix i was on autopilot and wasn't thinking about dropping the thing on him lmao

"Recently I decided to start playing risk of r-" The worst best mistake a human can make

Quick tip: being revived by a Dio will actually refill your beacons meaning if you SOMEHOW manage to miss BOTH beacons, you can die on purpose to get another chance.

just time it right for his jump into the middle

You can also wait for him to self damage in the last few bits if you don't want to risk another shot, which with luck you can do on any run.

instructions unclear, became god.

The hollow knight music in the background is very comforting

bro said the L in guillotine and called us stupid in the same breath

That Hollow Knight soundtrack in the background 🤩🔥. Good memories.

i completely forgot what the title said and was absolutely baffled at the sheer amount of insults you can fit into a single video without any warning until i realised it was literally in the title

Ever get that feeling of déjà vu?

@5:10 You say there's no red that supports the build, but Dio's Best Friend gives you back two beacons when it's triggered.

the way he says “hopoo”
