ALL NEW ITEMS EXPLAINED - Patch Rundown (Seekers of the Storm DLC)

everything new explained in Risk of Rain 2's newest expansion, Seekers of the Storm

They upped the difficulty on xbox to impossible the new menu boss is currently undefeated

Just a note on Longstanding Solitude, the new lunar item.
On its own it is absolute trash, but if you can pair it with a brittle crown... or multiple brittle crowns, it is insane. You end up getting so much value from it. You don't suffer the negative from brittle crown because you don't have any gold to lose, and every time you hit an enemy you gain xp.

So you end up being able to open as many chests as you want, and get tonnes of base health and damage from your base stats because of your high level.

They definitely tuned how the directors use their points.

Stages 15+ you used to only get scavengers and boss enemies to spawn. Now it's TONS of enemies of all varieties.

Hey man, maybe don't spoil the identity of the third survivor in the thumbnail for a DLC that came out less than a day ago? Not everyone read the leaks

[reidfrancisco]

I fought Mythrix and when he stole my friend's safer spaces he could not be damaged, not even the evade message or dodge sounds were playing. That run we ran into at least 15+ bugs.

Fun fact and also spoiler:

False son character’s moonson skin looks like providence.
Pretty cool!

[datelessgamer]

The seed of life is not truly consumed when it revives you. It instead becomes a healing bloom that you can activate to spawn around 6 healing orbs. Basically a weaker fruit equipment that can technically be shared with allies.

Ran into an interesting bug last night with a friend. Far into the run (almost 2 hours) we found a new aspect to acquire. My friend grabbed it, and upon doing so, for every stage afterwards (including the bazaar), he was unable to pickup items normally. What would instead happen is that he could hover over the item like he's trying to grab it, and it would perpetually add it to his inventory at a VERY fast tick rate. Ended the run with over 7000 ATG missles.

Shame how QA is damn near non existent with this patch. So many bugs you'd see with just a few minutes of playing, from False Son's reticle to items no longer having their rarity colored outline, Mercenary taking damage while ramping off of terrain with secondary and clipping through the floor like crazy since the Devotion update. So, so many glitches.

[bryankopkin]

I think they added a lot of chaff items and a lot of the stuff doesnt look or feel polished. Still a very nice update but its kinda sad to see it not have the classic ror polish to it..

[mdpizza]

Hi Woolie you're doing great keep up the amazing content! I just wanna clarify, The lunar Item "Longstanding Solitude" actually works differently from what you've stated..

Yes it does turn all gold gained into exp BUT everytime you level up, you receive a free purchase which can be used to open any chest BUT ALSO, use Shrines! So if you're stuck in the gold portal stage and have "Longstanding Solitude", you still will be able to complete the stage via levelling up and purchasing the shrines one by one, it'll just be really slow haha o7

Antlers might be bad but I'll never pass up 1 stack for *the drip*

[bigspagheti]

What's with all the "when hit..." items? Do the devs not play their own game? You get hit twice and die on pretty much any difficulty, and it gets WORSE over time.

[teamstar]

Longstanding gratitude (new blue item) is actually busted if you have ghors tome. I don’t know why but it gives you 1/4 of a level any time you pick up a tome, so if you have like 1 or 2 ghors, maybe a clover, then you can still full loot a stage and you get an absurd amount of levels. I’m at stage 3 and I’m level 67 it’s nuts.

[suwuicidal]

Aurelionite's Blessing (the aspect of radiance) with Warped Echo gives you invincibility and lets you pickup items infinitely

[Kevin_Anderson]

Livid about 5 new white items and no new items that grant crit chance. Every new update just makes it harder and harder to build crit by diluting the item pool

[matiasgaming]

Some info about the Gilded elites (and less about Twisted):

Gilded elites are for whatever reason insanely tanky.
Whenever they put up their gold bubble around them, all damage they take from you will cause them to steal your money.
They restore health from taking your money, making it so you probably don't want to attack them if they put up that shield.

Twisted elites on the other hand are still fairly unknown, but here's what I got:
When they hit you, you essentially get a collapse-like effect. In all me and my friends testing, this collapse effect has been a one hit kill both times he got hit.
The bubble Twisted enemies have around them is currently unknown what it does.

Conclusion: If you get a Gilded enemy as a boss, hope you got really high damage or a lot of time on your hands.
If you get hit by a Twisted, pray you have some sort of revive

[jordansamara]

They lied when they said dlc was droppin on console and pc at the same time. Shit just doesn’t work.

[jozzzlyn]

big fan of luminous shot giving acrid’s m1 a good use for burst! get a purity, spam m2 for a bit, then m1 to cash out. sometimes it’ll proc, like mentioned, on ANY hit, can’t figure out how to replicate the bug

[hellothisismufin]

As a Warframe player, getting to the new stage 5 was funny. I was like "WHO'S hatchery???"
