CORRECTIONS:
at 14:36 I forgot to list Void Fiend as a strong band survivor
At 25:02 I overstate the diminishing returns with opal, while stacking it does provide diminishing returns, 3 opals (75% resistance) has a sizeable difference from 1 opal (50% resistance).
I also forgot to mention the artifact portal, obliterating at the obelisk, and void locus are all disabled in eclipse

This was awesome, thanks for the chance to have a part o/

It's no accident as to why this was labeled "The Ultimate Guide". Despite it being nearly fifty minutes long, it felt like only a few minutes had passed by the time I was done watching and I was left wanting more. Who knew guides could be so informative, yet so entertaining? Thank you Disputed for releasing this gem of a video.

I'm happy the community is finally getting a good resource for learning about eclipse with all the intricacies we've learned throughout the years. Good work on this one Grandpa

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU! I got 450 hours into this game and completed eclipse 1 and 2 on rex (my favorite character) and A LOT of the information in this video I somehow never knew about. I had always assumed the enemies stopped spawning during teleporter event only after the boss was kill and the teleporter was charged, but just focusing on the teleporter to stop enemy spawns would have saved me many failed runs. Also I am one of the many people who assumed that going through stages faster would be more beneficial, like 3-4 minutes per stage was usually my goal. Seems pretty obvious now that I think about it, just collect more items, duh. Thanks again Gramps, I never had a grandfather but if I did I would hope for someone like you.

Thanks for the tips, I've just started, and I really like how much the game can really progress.

[flaflaflamingo]

applying these gameplay tips took me from not getting to mithrix 99% of the time to 3 Eclipse 1 wins in the past few days (It was Bandit, Railgunner, and Acrid, but still). Best ROR2 guide I've ever seen. also, the "full loot efficiently" strat is SOOO good conpared to getting like a focus crystal and a slug and then fighting the boss at 3 minutes in

I have started my eclipse climb recently, and I cannot express just how much this and watching race's videos have helped me out. Learning and applying these things really does work.

47:44 now i need a guide on how to unlock these friends you mentioned

[RyanKudasik]

This video went beyond Elipse 8. There was a lot of good general strategy that applies to any run. Well done! thanks for the video!

I think the Lunar Item problem wouldn't be so much of a problem if people didn't just cheat in infinite Lunar Coins. If you're just passively gaining the coins throughout your runs, you either don't have enough coins to make it through all Eclipse levels on all survivors, or if you do you've been playing for long enough that you're probably able to beat Eclipse pretty consistently anyways.

Thank you so much for making this video Disputed, it really motivated me to try doing eclipse on every character! Just got the golden four and im having a blast, really looking forward to the higher eclipse levels.

[DadsAtWork]

Super appreciate all the hard work you put into this, and as someone with a considerable number of hours in the game I can say I still learned (or at least was reminded of) some pretty big things! Keep up the good content

[PhoenixEternal]

Eclipse made me appreciate Chronobaubles

[Hankypanky]

This is probably the best piece of risk of rain content I have ever watched. Great job man

[foulbeast]

I've begun my eclipse climb with Mercenary, and it's given me an entirely new appreciation for the previously underrated items. PSG, Ghor's Tome, Roll of Pennies, Chronobauble and HEAD-ST feels like a weight being taken off my back with how they work to counter the debuffs the mode gives.

I started playing this game about a week ago and I honestly love it. The only other rougelikes that I've played are Dead Cells and Hades (but also around an hour of Gungeon and Isaac). I haven't watched many RoR2 videos but you are definitely my favorite CC for this game, nice editing and very entertaining.
Also, I'm so glad that you encourage looting like that since one of my friends, that started playing at the same time as me, after a few days started rushing levels and saying it's bad to spend more than 5 mins on a level. To bad for him I was (mostly) right.

[MarkIsARockGod]

Absolutely killed it, everything from the actual info given, to the production value, to how clearly and concisely all of it was delivered, is spectacular. You knocked it out of the park with this one!

[ethanberg]

I'm just starting my Eclipse climb, and this was perfectly timed!! I couldn't agree more with almost all of the points you guys made. Thank you for making this; keep up the great work!
