Holy shit, I never thought I'd see the day where we finally have a no items E8 run thats *actually* possible and fun. I gotta give this a try sometime, seems like a real good test of game knowledge and Railgunner.
that was probably the most astonishing ror2 run I've ever seen. your level of skill and dedication is amazing. well done. edit: forget that "probably" It IS the most astonishing run I've ever seen.
yeah, railgunner is just so strong. i’ve also been trying this with reasonable success, kinda hard to get a consistent time with certain spawns, etc, but it’s really cool to see someone else attempt it dry as well- with no artifacts, no items it really does feel like a test of skill, patience, and dedication appreciate the inspiration and enjoyed the run/your insights, peace out and have fun! EDIT : now do it with artifact of honor
thank you. yeah, railgunner is the strongest character in my opinion with loader as a close 2nd. i've seen some people say railgunner is bad though which confuses me a bit. you can't use artifacts in eclipse without mods, but i did mod the game once and beat eclipse 8 with all artifacts which was pretty fun
@@4evr0dd it's actually not that much different than regular monsoon with all artifacts. i wanted to make a video on it but dagger carried the run a bit too hard so i want to do it without red/lunar items someday
@@Cabbage123 always a more accomplished feeling to avoid those stronger items- after all, it is about the challenge, eh? good luck with your future runs, and thanks again for sharing!
GG man. I was a noob in ROR2 like even could not consistently win monsoon before. but when I watch streamers play railgunner and then tried the rail gunner for a few times. I think it’s so strong and eventually got E8 of gunner done lol.
ive actually been trying to do this run recently, but not eclipse 8. Ive been trying out REX, hes pretty good in this challenge. Im doing monsoon difficulty too, probably wont get to mithrix BUT ill try and get to ATLEAST stage 3.
NOT IMPRESSED! You missed so many easy shots... (being nervous isn't an excuse!) I've tried to do this with acrid before, but i've been unable to pull-off the pillar skip with him and charging pillars (especially pillars of soul) seems impossible due to low damage and the chimera fire covering the whole damn radius. I didn't know someone else had beaten me to it with acrid, although if the run you mention is HK BLAUs then that's on old commencement without the pillars. April fools, this is impressive- good job. You've almost motivated me to spend hours hopping around on that damn tree again. Almost.
all jokes aside i did miss a ton of easy shots though. nerves were to blame for a lot of them but i also had to close everything except OBS so that i get as many frames as possible, which is why i have ingame music on (i usually split audio channels and listen to music / watch a stream while playing). and yes that is the run i'm talking about. as far as i know it's the only eclipse 8 clear video without items? i tried looking around and couldn't find anyone else who had recorded it. i don't know much about acrid and pillar skipping but this railgunner skip is very precise
@@Cabbage123 ICap_l made a video showing acrid pillar skip is possible with 2 hooves and i've heard claims that its possible without items, but never seen it done. The ONE time i made it i got boosted by chimera bullets, and that was while testing on drizzle with armour plates. HK BLAU and you are the only ones to have done it with proof as far as I know... GG.
@@ugotslade3395 The acrid itemless skip is possible, I have a video on this channel of me doing it. as far as i know i'm the only one to pull it off. it requires some really janky collision with the arms below the arena lol
@@stripey3860 Thank you! I search for this but never found your video... obviously I didn't look hard enough. I can see why I couldn't figure it out myself LOL. Pulling that off at the end of a run is going to be... difficult.
Man, this was fun to watch. Especially that pillar skip and the Mithrix fight. Railgunner is the only survivor I’ve had a real struggle with. Do you have any tips? I play on Monsoon and have been fooling with Eclipse modifiers through mods. I always get overwhelmed with crowds and can’t get past stage 1 or 2. Really awesome video, congrats on the win. 👍
Just get better Almost every tip has been covered by youtubers so Just search around, that’s what I did 120 hours in and I almost beat monsoon with eclipse and diluvian modifiers
what helped me the most is learning mobility with mine + special ability and understanding how recoil works with m1. for crowds you can try lining them up and using the special ability to aoe them
@@Cabbage123 Thanks for that. I’ve been playing Railgunner a bit more and really utilizing her mobility, especially with her special and M1 like you described. I’m definitely liking the alt special for that same reasoning, torn on which secondary I like more. May get used to the alt secondary. Thanks again for your input. Again, cool video. 👍
i've played a couple fps games in the past, but it's much easier to hit AI moving in a straight line than it is to hit actual players. the hitboxes are also very forgiving
@@Cabbage123 nah it would be torture and nearly impossible, It would take forever to kill it just cause of its sheer amount of health, usually by the time you get to it after fighting mithrix it has more health in just his first phase than mithrix does in all 4 phases
does Mithrix's wedge/spin attack like at 22:45 not hit you when you stand on top of the 4 ramps? I've been told that it does hit but I've seen in another video where it looks like it doesn't actually hit you. Can't really tell from this one either, if anyone knows and can clarify I'd appreciate it
Maybe you will make more playlists? Just, I like to rewatch some inspire videos like this masterpiece, but findind it too difficult on channel with new videos every 3 days. Also maybe that's cool idea to do playlists for every month of prismatics, but... There's only 10 in a month, so it couldn't be very good
what kind of playlists? i guess i could have playlists like ethereal, trial speedruns, and non-trial stuff but i don't really know if that would be useful
when i look up and back down, it's to see mithrix through walls since you get a red dot boss indicator if you're looking away from a boss. i use it to get an idea of where mithrix is / which direction he's running
21:45 why do you keep looking up like that, are you trying to manipulate the AI? great run btw, this is easily one of the best things anybody has ever achieved in this game.
I just looked at your keybinds and i must say.. What an odd player you are. Putting it on e and q. Im like the exact opposite, because in ror returns i put it on shift and control. Whatever, youre skilled so it seems to work for you.
@@Cabbage123 I believe the seven items is all E8 modifiers EXCEPT fall damage is double and lethal, they would have just turned the artifact on and hidden it. also the acrid e8 no items can't really be used to compare since it's an older version of the game.
Didn't think this was possible, nice job! I thought for sure those first two walls at 22:45 were gonna hit you. Love how phase 3 was killed via fall damage. Also love whatever this fella at 25:29 is doing. So because of the bonus movement speed from eclipse 4, Mithrix will always launch himself over you when he runs up the ramp? You're safe to just stand on the platform and let him run at you?
no you're not safe. if you're positioned in the wrong way he can swing at you while running over or dash at you if you're too close. the strat i use of running away and then towards him at a certain time works well though
well the teleporter items would help a lot. and this run was pretty lucky with which bosses i got. but it's definitely easier to not full clear stages as railgunner
@@Cabbage123 i did notice that in my railgunner eclipse climb, fretting over every single item wasn't as important as it is with many other characters and to an extent made it easier to tolerate the full climb because doing 8 full runs can be pain
I came here to see how to skip pillars, thank you master. EDIT: How do you detonate a mine mid-air? EDIT 2: I figured it out. EDIT 3: I completed the challenge! it was on drizzle tho, and I use the alternative M2.
that's not really how a script works, i would fail 0% of the time unless i wrote the script bad on purpose, i just have muscle memory for reloading with no attack speed items since i've done it so much
“You think yourself strong? Let’s see how powerful you are without your precious tools!
...
*What.”*
The lengths he went to just to make 4th phase easier.
Me: **drops my phone** "please don't be cracked..."
My phone:
lmfaooo been citing this elsewhere
What an ingenious strat! By optimizing your items for phase 4 you can essentially trivialize the entire phase!
Nah, the ingenious strat was trivializing the entire game by being good and playing railgunner.
"And so she left, pretty much the same as she began."
I like how mithrix stops taunting you in the chat when he realized you ain’t got any loot
He only taunts when he actually hits you and he wasn't getting any hits in
