How to unlock Huntress' ballista quick and easy

A quick guide on how to make an annoying achievement way easier to get in risk of rain 2.

Editor's note: Stage 3 must be Rallypoint Delta or Scorched Acres and not Sulfur Pools.

dude was so quick with the info, with a FIRE outro

Another method you can do as well is: Loop once with an artifact of command run on Drizzle, and when you return to Stage 3 (since it cares about the location, not being the actual 3rd stage), and use your likely overwhelming items to end the map quickly without taking damage.

Dude. Quick, efficient, no bs. Absolutely based guide. Thanks bro.

[GangurEXE]

The fact that shields count towards HP is kind of BS to me.

Massive thanks for this! I can't stand how arrow rain can't hit airborne targets, of which there are plenty in the game. Needed this!

[Willlll]

Ty! One thing I did that make this a lot less stressful was get safer spaces with blast shower and fuel cells so anytime I got hit I could just get the barrier back

[SrailMix]

Thanks so much! I needed this guide! Keep it up!!!

[SebbyIsYummy]

[ReneOnderstal-ow]

ty for this quick guide, i got it first try after watching ..ty

[FrozenFish-fnqd]

thanks for the video, i got so unlucky my first run and got sulfur pools

[voyces]

personally I just played on Drizzle with artifact of command took like 4 topaz brooches some speed items and speedrunned until stage 3 and just did it easily like 0 problems. I did it in under 10 minutes so the difficulty was still on easy

[objectiveice]

or be like me, use mods and grab the energy heart which makes you immune to all forms of damage unless said damage exceeds shield health

I did not know it was only stage 3, I thought it meant stages 1 and 2 as well, so that's good to know

I have been trying to find a way to unlock Ballista on eclipse and I thought that transcendence would work, but I've done it twice now and it doesn't unlock it. idk if it's possible on the eclipse modes.

[RealAudi]

playing on drizzle difficulty also helps

[kayinrobinson]

Probably a dumbass question but if you pick up shaped glass before stage 3 does that prevent you from unlocking it entirely, or does it consider the halved max hp as 100%

[nnishikunn]

Does it have to be on hard difficulty? I’m not able to get it for some reason?

[Koro.mp]

How do you put artifacts before the run?

[geegee]

Thanks for the guide. Just a quick note that the music kind of drowns out your voice!

[Schneidz]

How are you able to choose everything you want? Sorry quite nee
