My favorite bit was how the devs spent the entire video _desperately_ trying to understand why anyone would choose the bauble, and missed the obvious answer which is that it was a misclick.
Occam's razor: the simplest explanation is usually the right one.
they were joking
@@TheOwwen so bauble secret op oneshots mythrix, it clears both the mythrix issue and the bauble issue therefore solved
@@naturalkind5591 quit spreading misinformation. It lets you skip phase 4 of the fight if you don’t also have death mark.
they only mentioned it like twice lol
wasn't engineer - doesn't count
Engineer is the best imo!
ok
ok
true
ok
"Our friend here has a lot of Lunar Coins"
"He must have played a lot"
*me sweating nervously* oh no.. they disapprove..
That bit had me laughing for a minute
Nah they're fine with it, they know not everyone is interested in farming lunar coins
@@captainace1277 yeah, they allowed cheats as long as it doesn't affect other player's experience and fun
*sweats in notepad*
@@Ulvorskets Just playing the game can get you more than enough though...
kills mithrix and skips phase 4
Devs: "its gotta be the chronobaubble" im dead
like they don't know that swarm bugs him out
Swarm bugs him out?
The game calculates it as defeating the final phase when it kills the second one
@@AngryTheGnome and what is it you use to do that again the swarm artifact only?
@@thefreshestdougyup just the swarm artifact
"The loader is a slow but powerful bruiser"
lodr
lo

lo
Can we appreciate the devs when they were talking about level design and jumping straight up to the top. They mention that they were glad that they didn't force creative players through the level using boundary walls or anything. Big shoutout to letting players find fun way to play and not punishing them for it!
Yeah, also i'm pretty sure it is 100% intentional that you can launch yourself up there with captains diablo strike. Its hight is basically perfect for it.
@@zaifir8119 You can do what?!
@@Miniko you heard me right. Take the best character in the game, find a nice spot to get a tiny bit of extra hight, place your strike and prepare for the launch.
That’s hopoo for ya. They are one of the coolest game devs because they know that people want to try and find interesting ways to play, and then let them play that way.
they should still just put walls in. like doom speed run is corny af
lmao devs trying to find a deep reason for the chronobauble but really it was probably just because the player's hand slipped and they picked it on accident
Yeah it just happens to be the item above razorwire
no, as the devs, they *know* its the best item in the game
It was probably intentional, because one chronobauble makes Mithrix incredibly easy, because he's so slow
@@AshAdkins22 but the player just one shot them
@@nickbananaboy Right, because of the chronobauble obviously
2:40 this guy activated the portal before picking his next destination... what a fcking flex
He took the shrine of mountain after activating the portal too, he's too fast
he probably played a few times...
@@HugoBaesJr so have a bunch of people and they still don’t have control like that
@@lostinthewoods3918 the small number right next to the name of the game in the split counter? thats how many runs were started. (including instant resets, which are like 95% of most runs)
@@HugoBaesJr just a little
The chronobobble is what carried him for sure
Truuuuuu
misclick
@@FlawedbyDesign777 shhh, the chonobobble is the godtier almighty item~
@@Kasumi_Tashibetter than shattering Justice?
@@FlawedbyDesign777 shush
that is easily the least surprised i've ever seen devs in this series lmao
Cause it’s not glitchy, if it had some insane wallclip loader backflip ultimate speed glitch, They’d probably be surprised
@@unforgettableluncheon106 the lunar coins tho
It's a loader drizzle run. Most people could get semi close to this
@@drakonlegend4452 pretty sure they expected that a bit lol. makes sense for speedrunning
@@drakonlegend4452 they know the lunar coins bug, everyone uses it lmao
i've killed mithrix so fast on 3rd phase one time that he didn't die and the game thought he was dead, he chased me back to the ship and slaughtered me
That's impossible
@@Deathtank75 Yes. Glitches are impossible. You're right.
@@Muthloveshispets 😏
@@Deathtank75 there is a chance the game doesn't register Mithrix as a boss when they spawn him in for some reason and it skips the phase entirely with a living mithrix because there is no boss technically.
@The Man Who Asked It doesn't mean that it's impossible. It means that it's actually intended behaviour and not a glitch at all.
Cool that 1/3 of the dev team could make it
And isn't this the full Dev team for risk 1
@@ianblackburn2645 yes, they were also the full team for the majority of ROR2’s lifespan till around the anniversary update
Such a dumb comment. Oh a girl made it
@@methylmike excuse me what
@@BertsBalls Not really, what about Ghor
"Wasn't on Monsoon , didn't count."
@Julo Micha Not even on eclipse 1,000,287 why even watch the video?
its interesting how a speedrun does not include a single speed item
speed items implies according to the limitations of the system. So too slow...
There goes the loaderrrr
Backup mags count as a speed item for Loader.
Loader exists
You forget that he picked Loader, so they already have max speed
this is the most standing around and waiting ive seen in a speedrun ever
Looks at that one LOZ Speedrun.
For the devs, it's because Mithrix has an in-between moment for phase 2-3, where he can be shot before he starts taking items
That has been patched bru
@@sparoc3 you can still do it if you attack quickly enough
@@sparoc3 you can still do it
he was killed by the bands AOE still being there
If you have ATG's and a few clovers or enough firebands it always skips the last phase, it's hilarious.
I'm so glad that the devs immediately acknowledged that Loader was the best character in the game. How is Falcon Punch Spiderman something that only exists in this game
there is no best character in risk of rain... Loader has just so much base mobility that you can build dmg without being slow. Thats why speedrunners pick Loader. All characters do something else so you really cant compare them. What really depends is what character is the most fun FOR YOU to play.
@@noniegyachtet there is a worst character though... engineer... by far... the vast majority of its damage comes from uncontrollable AI... which automatically makes it the worst character (it is still my favorite character though) although a large part of this is because his primary is so bad...
@@arcanumelite4853 engineer is literally strongest solo class in the game
@@arcanumelite4853 engineer is amazing
@@arcanumelite4853 Finally, another intelligent being in the RoR2 community. Can't believe that people hate on Artificer but love Engineer, when it should be the other way around.
They sound genuinely excited to see the speedrun, RoR2 is a great game and the devs deserve it. Also: all hail the chronobauble
CHRONOBAUBLE
He was just standing there, menacingly.
I’ve always thought that the fourth phase mithrix skip was because you killed him so hard that he gave up on living.
Anyone else put hours into this game without even realizing it?
Yea considering 1 run takes me more than an hour each, time flies
Lmao yeah
i'd go for 5 hour runs when online classes first started
@@elderbaza06 time really does fly lol
@@drftr6073 5 hours? Thoomin yessir get that game time in!
being a ror1 player since 2014 it makes me so happy to see risk of rain 2 becoming as popular as it is
I'm pretty sure that Chronobauble was a missclick @4:57
Wdym Chronobauble is the best item in the game. It was intentional lol 4head
yeah, amazing item, clearly OP, also right above razor wire
@@catnip202xch. Honestly, OP is drunk if he doesn't realize this fact.
no it saved the run
Clearly is the key to this 9min speedrun.
LOL THE REACTIONS TO THE LUNAR COINS...
My guess is that in the coding, Mithrix doesnt have the invulnerability for just a single frame or two, but because of how much damage the fire band puts out, it might be enough at that low of a level to just instantly murder Mithrix, thus skipping the whole third phase.
It also works on very high levels once you’ve picked up a lot of items; doesn’t really work well between low and high levels though
+413M Lunar Coins. Okay.
"He must've played the game alot."
He just grinded dude don’t hate aha
You can just edit one of the game files and put in any number you want. Makes the game way more fun since you can just spend as many coins as you like.
@@godhand2018 no he just played the game a lot
@@StompyRoA 413314268 coins. So let's say he got a lunar coin per second [seems like an insanely aggressive assumption but sure why not]. That would take 4783 days or 13 years of gameplay time. Now tell me which method sound more reasonable for a 2 year old game.
What I'm curious about is how they knew where the teleporters were every time. Are teleporter locations paired with spawn locations, perhaps?
They have a very noticable particle effect.
They spawn on the opposite side of the map from where you spawn.
@@MrRinre that is not true
The teleporters have fixed spawn regions within which they have a minor random offset in specific placement, which means if you know where these areas are and how they correlate to the player spawn locations, you can run straight to them.
If you have more than 5 hours in the game you can accurately guess where the teleporter might be. Even without the particles
Such a phenomenal game with the crunchiest soundtrack everrr
They are so chill, they intended some of the shortcuts and strats to
To what?
Well not intended but expected. With a momentum based character of course there’s gonna be huge time cuts
Love everything you guys are doing with the game. It's amazing 👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you for making it
surprised there was no artifact of dissonance in this speedrun *winkwink*
@@rjtom2623 no sir
Loader go brrrrrrrrrrrrr
Can’t believe they got 2/3rds of the whole dev team to react to this.
Actually its just 1/3rd
It's funny how they think the chronobauble wasn't accidentally chosen. It's one space up from the razorwire in the item selection pop-up.
hey they forgot to go see the secret frog at the teleporter on the final stage after you kill mithrix this speedrun shouldn't be official
secret frog? what?
@@Angelsylvexian if you go back to where you spawned in on the final stage after killing Mithrix there will be a crystal frog there for some reason. It's an easter egg of some sort .
@@Angelsylvexian look up "risk of rain 2 frog easter egg" and the 3rd image across should explain
It looks like starseed, tanning in dirt.
It smells like hot stone, and tall grass.
It tastes like spiced fruit, sweet and hot.
It feels like solar winds, and solar chimes.
It sounds like two brothers, chasing glass frogs in the sun.
@@burritodog3634 Purity item log?
What an honor to have the devs clapping for your speedrun of their games !!
One of the coolest games
Wow I'm soo glad to see this, didnt expect it but love it
As a person who has no experience with this game, it looks like he's just standing there and winning
They're playing on the lowest difficulty, so enemy health and damage scale up with time very slowly, keeping it all very low. They also have a game modifier that doubles the number of enemies, but halves their hp. Then they just stack nothing but reflect damage, so when he gets hit, enemies take damage, and die.
My favorite part is that the devs one year later still have no idea why you can skip the phase where mithrix takes your items. And it is because they didn’t account for over damaging mithrix, so you take take her health bar all the way to 0 before her invincibility triggers
Her? Don't you mean his
His*
What an amazing game. Shout-out to whoever set this up
One of my favorite games of the generation.
^^^^^^^^^ we need more rogue-likes/lites feels like they're severely lacking this gen, last gen they were popping off like crazy.
@@HitPointX We need more 3D roguelites/likes with co-op.
@@HitPointX there's plenty of rougelikes (enter the gungeon, hades, dead cells, spelunky 2, ect.), but we need more 3d rougelikes.
11 months later the mithrix 1 shot to skip the last phase is still in game, my friend got it with rail gunner last week
The fact even the devs didn’t know you could choose your destination after using the portal in the newts zone astounds me
6:05 "splits" is the word you're looking for
It’s so funny hearing the developers not know something works the way it does, like with how they left the bazaar
That's a fun thing with a game built around having interesting mechanics. There's usually tons of interactions that the devs would never even consider, but happen anyway because of how the game was built.
Yooooooo Risk of Rain 2 let’s gooooooo.
Cannot wait for the update!
It came out several weeks ago...
@@vorpal176 maybe console player
@@vorpal176 sorry PC bro, but console is still a thing, and it’s not out yet for console. The console updates take a little extra time to get to console.
This is my favorite series on this channel
nah, what made me go razorwire in the anniversary update was the fact that it now procs other items
It always did
Not sure if the devs will see this but the "timestamps" are called "splits" in the speedrunning community
1.2k hours in, 4 different profile my favorite equip always been hell fire
*"The Chronobaubble must be a meme"*
the fire band can skip the last phase because if you hit mithrix just before he gets immunity in the last phase he doesnt steal your items, you can do it with continuous dmg mostly like fireband
Swarms and Sacrifice go well together, more items while easier to kill
An underrated game, I've sunk so many hours into this
It has hundred thousand positive comments and still on top selling lol but no one even talk about it
underrated?
I've always said the more restrictions the Devs make on the experience for the player the less of a GAME it becomes. Leaving more power and decisions to the player is what really makes a game great imo
To the devs:
Awesome game! Looking forward to the dlc on consoles! Keep up the great work!
Still looking forward to it
That’s a speedy boi
dude love the reactions to the lunar coins xD gotta give em credit for keeping everything chill
best soundtrack in any game
@@stevea1089 This is truly an adorable comment.
2 games that come to mind immediately that beat this in soundtrack imo is hollow knight and path of exile
This is prob my 2nd fav 1st fav soundtrack is persona 3
@IGN This was added to the wrong playlist btw, should be in Devs React instead of Experts React.
PLEASEE!! Have the react to the new speedrun its insane!
the music of this gaaaaaaaaaaaame
Agreed, perfect rogue-like music to mindlessly get lost in
@@HitPointX lmao I've actually just stopped playing and started air guitaring right before fighting mithrix once, this soundtrack is sooooo godly
Hellfire + armor plates + razor wire = yes
Of COURSE they used Loader lmao. Great game btw. :)
That was super impressive :o
I've always done a hellfire tincture build with engineer
Razor wire goes BRRR
Waiting for Chris to comment
Didn't know that the moon was redone until last night, been playing other games for a while, the redesign is nice but gah does it make carrying people for colours harder
You pick chrono bobble on command runs, but only to power death mark :P
I've played this game and have no clue what's going on, but I'm here for it.
Took all the artifacts to lower the difficulty, and did the combo: razorwire shoots enemies around you when you are hurt + hellfire tincture damages everyone in a radius, including yourself.
these devs sound rly fun, was cool to listen to
Waiting for returnal speed run
How do they move so fast when they're grappling the floor?
They thought the bug was due to the fire band, or the chronobauble. Little do they know, phase 4 mithrix is skipped through swarms.
swarms?
the Grunch double Mithrix kills himself in phase 4 for whatever reason.
@@TrueLimeyhoney oh huh, thanks for explaining
I've definitely seen phase 4 get skipped without Swarms before. It might've contributed in some way, but it's definitely not necessary.
loader always intimidated me but now I'm just scared shitless of her
My favorite Acrid Command build is Hellfire Wires
Bro beat the game before the security chest closed.
Finally! Risk of Rain 2 is such an underrated game, it’s really sad.

Love the devs so much
fun fact: risk of rain commando was a tower in roblox tower defense simulator in the 2019 area 51 event if you beaten it on normal or hard you would get the commando tower!
Could cronobauble just be a miss click as it sits right above razorwire?
2:40 - best part "hes a speed runner, of course hes played the game a lot". so many people think speed runners pick the game up, beat it in 20 minutes the first try, then put it down.
“He’s just standing there…….MENACINGLY!”
Its surprising not even the devs dont know about the Mithrix phase skip
'he must really love the game to have that many lunar coins' meanwhile I'm sitting on -2,581,560,062 coins
yeesh how many hours?

How did the boss die at the first stage it didn't look like he was even attacking
GIVE THE SOUND AND MUSIC GUY AN AWARD ❤🔥
imagine making a game for years then a random dude just finished it in 9 minutes
On the bright side, said guy played the game like 2000 times to get that 9 minute speedrun, soo...
With how many games have years spent on them to not be played at all 9 minutes is hugely preferable
@@voracioussergal9360 yeah tbh
This game can be run too many time with many differnet chars, comps, rng, maps etc, to be run in only 9 minutes. He just killed the boss with 1 char and 1 comp, but there are many many different ones to explore and do that with
