Prismatic Trials

From Risk of Rain 2 Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Prismatic Trials is a special, solo-only game mode where players compete for the fastest time of completing 2 stages. However, to initiate the Teleporter Event, the player must destroy three of a handful of Time Crystals scattered across the map. These crystals explode when destroyed, dealing moderate damage to players and monsters alike. Unlike in standard gameplay, the Teleporter charges instantly once the Teleporter Boss has been defeated.

Prismatic Trials feature a set of two Environments on Rainstorm Rainstorm difficulty, starting cash, and random artifact selections. The only adjustments a player can make are the selected Survivor and their skill loadout.

All items and equipment are considered unlocked and can be encountered in a run, even if they have not been unlocked during a normal run. This is so that everyone competes under the exact same circumstances. This means that player cannot unlock the Artificer ArtificerArtificer.pngArtificerThe Artificer is a high burst damage survivor who excels in fighting large groups and bosses alike.

Seed

  • Every 3 days (72 hours), a new seed is generated for the Prismatic Trial. This seed is identical for all players, across all platforms.
  • Seeds affect stage rotations, interactables' locations and drops, bosses, monster spawn timing, and activated artifacts.
  • Player choices may affect some outcomes of the seed. For example, if the player visits the Bazaar Between Time Bazaar Between TimeBazaar Between Time.pngBazaar Between Time (Hidden Realm)
