- Update adding stuff from Survivors of the Void: • The Risk of Rain 2 Ice...
Risk of Rain 2 Iceberg explained in a hopefully coherent video. This is the first time I've ever tried editing and producing a full video but I hope this serves as an introduction to either the game itself or the lore around it.

“It’s a cute little glass frog, it doesn’t do anything”
That aged well
id say that the glass frogs are a reference to ice frog the dev from dota 2
So did the sniper thing
what does it do
@@Willdroyd if you have the void dlc you can give it lunar coins to get to new boss i think but i am not sure
@@LilyNotDoffen i found out today actually, but thanks
If you do infinite coins, do whatever. They give you an edge, but they won't stop you from being on wave 36 and dying instantly to a malachite bell
Many of the lunar items are actively bad without a specific build, and the game tends to drop coins faster than you can spend them, so it’s not a terribly impactful cheat.
@@beefpelican ah yes, 0.5 percent chance of dropping and an additionally -2* drop rate of coin thereafter the first. Sounds like they drop faster then you can use them 🙄
do you need to let any regressed emotions out? this example seems very detailed.
@@ashenhare4567 crown becomes a god item if you use that cash Gatling gun equipment
@@ashenhare4567 I mean if you runs lasted more than 6 stages you'd probably find more
a big piece of the puzzle regarding the Imps comes from the first game. if you beat the game with all artifacts on, you unlocked the final artifact called Artifact of Origin which causes an Imp Vanguard to invade every 10 minutes. this implies that the Artifact of Origin is what the Imps seek. the possible reason as to why this artifact isn't in the second game is either a). you escaped the planet with it or b). it's in the void.
another bonus fact is regarding Deadbolt. the game takes place in, well, "The Place." it exists as a kind of purgatory/limbo where lost souls can never die nor move on unless they are killed by a Reaper. it is entirely possible that Deadbolt exists within the ROR games but not in a traditional sense.
@@mrhat1073 the simulations that the void creatures put captured subjects through could fit this idea.
You know, Artificer’s helmet could just be shaped that way because they had to make room for all the technology needed to make the suit as a whole work? Just a thought.
maybe artificier just has long hair and needs the space
maybe it was only a cosmetic choice
Supporting the idea that void reavers take things is backed up by one of the artifacts code. In sirens call, half of a tablet can been seen near the edge of the map. The other half can be found in void fields
Now we're thinking with portals
@@why3994 hahahahhah
Transcendence's logbook entry completely went over my head until this video. Never knew that's what it was referring to.
Same here, I literally just got it.
I still am in the dark, is it about looping and knowing that we're playing a game?
@@Greenjay64 Not looping necessarily but gaining more experience and skill as you replay RoR2. For example, lore wise you (the survivor) would have no idea what the bazaar between time would is, but the player (you) already does when starting a game and actively searches for newt altars in the stages to find one. Another is learning enemy patterns when you (the survivor) has never seen them before. Like some really convoluted deja vu.
@@user-ix4il2ql2v Inherited, or perhaps in this case Transcendent knowledge, in short.
@@user-ix4il2ql2v the "Observers" in the log may be referred to the void revers or the void as a whole
Quick correction on REX, it was notable not for success, but for failing to protect all but one crop, which it later took on its head and carried to the outer deck for some light. This was breach of its basic protocol and was supposed to be shut down. Considering how you find him in the game, it's entirely possible that said shutdown was successful, but complicated.
Void Reavers are thought to detain anything considered a danger, though at what scale differs from story to story. All we really know of them is that defeating Mithrix marks you as dangerous enough to detain, and having the strength to complete a loop does the same.
I'm not 100% sold on the "her" mentioned by Mithrix in logs is N'Kuhana. I think there may be another one that will come in. Otherwise, a logbook from the DLC may be just what we need.
The Parent is the youngest, like how a regular star is the youngest. It ages into a giant, much like the Grandparent. The giants either explode or shrink into a dwarf, which is the oldest, like the Child. Turning from a Grandparent to a Child would allow for creation of new Parents (stars) by scattering star-born materials. A giant is the best for creating new stars due to its high gravity, and as such the Grandparent incubates the egg. The young stars (Parents) have more power and thus are seen as watching over the small dwarfs (Children). Thus, the Child lays the egg, the Grandparent incubates it, the Parent hatches from it and takes care of the Child that made it, then the Parent ages into a Grandparent and then a Child. Also, we have no Child enemies in RoR2 even though they're in RoR1, implying that the survivor killed the Children and Grandparents from the last game, and only enough time has passed for the old Parents to turn into Grandparents.
Not really gonna bother with levels 8 or 9 since those ideas are entirely speculative. We need some more logbooks to really work them out.
What about tier 10
"I'm not 100% sold on the "her" mentioned by Mithrix in logs is N'Kuhana." well now we can assume it was Aurelionite
I thought void reavers attacked you after you defeat mithrix because there is no one to protect the planet anymore
@@justafox0no we can’t, the “her” is someone who died and gave providence a gift. Aurelionite was created by providence and imprisoned in the golden coast at mithrix’s urging.
@@blenderbeans3942I agree, based on the Bottled Chaos log, the void was unable to take the planet because of Providence. However, as far as I can tell, this kinda conflicts with the text that appears when you are killed by a void reaver. "You have been detained. Await your sentence at the end of time." That text basically states that the void is some kind of cosmic police force, but almost every other reference to the void seems to paint them merely as hoarders. They just take whatever they can get their claws on and put it in their void cells. I don't know what to make of them.
Lmao I watched this whole thing and didn't even realize the size of this account until the end, great work here.
Hahaha same
same
Tbh most of lunar items are trash or situational bullshit.
@@gerferies uh yeah but why u tellin me that?
@@orpharax609 I am trying to justify the absurd amount of lunar coins.
Part of me can't help but think that Captain was the Enforcer that escaped. He still uses a shotgun, is mortally wounded by losing his arm, and has experienced a situation similar to the current game.
BRO WHAT ARE YOU COOKING
Decent thought but very likely not it
I think it's cool that the newly teased railgunner replaces sniper from the first game. So I guess he is finally in the game just in a different way.
The B skin for her looks like the same pallet for sniper from ror1 which is pretty cool
I wish her mastery skin would be a reference to sniper like how Mul-T’s mastery skin is Han-D
@@3lectr1x isn’t it?
@@3lectr1xbut it is bro.
As someone whose also got hundreds of hours in this game, I just wanna say that I really appreciate the justice you did for its lore. Hell, I didn't even know about a handful of these things, especially the Alloy Worship Unit insta-kill, so genuinely, well done man.
I found out about it a couple days ago by accident. I had no Idea how it happened though. I've done it to the Vagrant and the Solus Probe
@@codysodyssey3818 all flying enemies (except for worms) die instantly if they're knocked into a wall or ground or some form of terrain. Rex can cheese alloy worship unit with this mechanic and mercenary can if you line up his dash well.
@@joobin814 I pride myself in the fact that I have knocked every singly enemy possible and killed them with merc
btw it isnt set in stone n'kuhana is the "her" mentioned in a few logs, its a assumption because they're both use female pronouns and we know basically nothing directly about them
other than that the lore he presented was seemingly pretty spot on
It would make sense, in a way, that the Captain is retelling the stories of what we do. Reason I say: when you defeat Mithrix, after the moon collapses/gets detained, a few words get said based on the character you choose. It feels like those words are the end of the Captain's "story".
Side note, I love the lore of Acrid, he literally just wants to he alone and the name of his unlocking achievement always makes me a little sad: "... To be left Alone", and the same with the end game quotes. RoR1: "... And so it left, with a new hunger: To be left alone" and "... And so it left, with delusions of freedom" From RoR2.
I think that instead of Heretic boarding while Providence attacks the Contact Light, Providence boarded and destroyed the Contact Light because of Heretic's presence on it.
30:55 Don't forget that after you kill Mitrix(literally a God) you become a powerful creature, thus making void reavers come after you since it's their job to capture powerful shit, in attempting to get you they void(steal) THE ENITRE MOON OF PETRICHOR 5
i love that take on it! personally I've heard the speculation that the void reavers were always wanting to take the moon but mithrix himself was somehow keeping them at bay, and so his death allows them to breach that and take the moon
As far as I know, the void reavers exist solely to capture and catalogue powerful beings. They tried to take Newt, but were stopped, being frozen in his light blue glass. They did take Acrid, hence why poison doggo is freed upon completing the void fields. They may have gone after Mithrix, but I'm not sure about that.
@@NovaMaster375 Yeah not only beings, but also powerfull items, thats why we get items after every cell in void fields
@@drim3945 Yeah, your right. But theres something I've been wondering about... what were the void reavers going after in the Sirens Call? I mean, the tablet there has a chunk missing, with the other piece found in the void fields. Were they after the tablet itself, or something else?
@@NovaMaster375 Firstly i thought since artifacts are quite powerfull, so blah blah but it doesnt make sense, probably they were after something, maybe even one player, and you know how they uncobtrorably explode and take everything in range when killed, som probably some guy killed a reaver, it exploded, voided some enemies, tablet was near so it voided a part of it aswell
shrines of combat also look like the item alien head and alien heads were used to ward off sicknesses or something in the logbook (i dont remember exactly) so artificer could be an alien similar to the alien head
Maybe the artificers are what the alien heads are supposed to ward off? That would be why the shrine spawns enemies to try to kill the artificer
Maybe the “pale arm slipping through the time pool” could be the newts mangled arm from him trying to leave/escape
The quality of this dissection is phenomenal, I almost didn't believe when you said it was the first one you made. The jokes, the theories, the deep lore. Just fantastic, thank you so much for this
17:24 first RoR game had yellow elites, called frenzied. They moved and attacked faster.
Maybe devs wanted to implement em into second game
Glass Mithrix was meant to spawn at the third stage of the mithrix fight(this phase is where his hammer starts to flame up.). Like the Providence fight, mithrix was meant have some of these clones, and while they are techincally weaker than the providence clone, techincally you can have multiple of these. Also this attack actually is coded in and not buggy at all, but its not used.
A little correction for the Sticky Bomb: originally the damage stacking was Multiplicative, meaning that 125% increase would multiply the previous value, not add itself on.
This caused damge to increase on an exponential scale, rather than its now linear one, starting off weaker until you hit 5 sticky bombs, then the numbers get ridiculous: 2300% damage at 10 stacks, compared to nowadays 1500% at 10 stacks and the gap only getting wider faster the more stacks you get.
Well done! I love games like this that combine superb endlessly fun gameplay and really deep lore that you have to look for to find.
this is a amazing way to start off your channel, nice work! i appriciate the lore recaps because i knew most of it but there were small things that didnt make sense to me that you explained.
Amazing video! For your 1st video, you did an incredible job writing the script, collecting info and editing in images and references. Again, amazing job!
Honestly a great video and it got me to learn a bit more of lore, I can’t wait what you do next!
21:33 That may have been intended to drop from Blighted Elite enemies, a powerful shadowy elite variant in RoR1 that would only spawn in Monsoon. My guess is they were planned to return for RoR2, but never made it in.
Also, the effect mentioned sounds reminiscent of the Shattered Mirror from RoR1, a use item (equipment) that would spawn a shadow clone of yourself. The clone would replicate every input made, effectively doubling your total damage.
"You are canon" is actually a really really believable and blunt one. I wouldn't be surprised if it was tier 3 or 4 or even 2 if it wasn't for how many questions this brings up.
Watched this video at work, thanks for making it less tedious with this great video! I subbed, keep making content!!
This video drew me in with that intro. I love everything about this video, goddamn. Good shit, man.
Great research,comedy,editing, voiceover
Keep up the passion
This was an awesome video, got a sub and a few laughs out of me, I'm excited to see whatever you put out next.
Now the glass frog has a purpose, Im excited to see what video you will make regarding the update - nvm I just saw u did the Iceberg video 2 days ago for the new update. Keep up the good work
I think the void creatures that lock you away if they kill you are actually there to stop you from time traveling hints the last item talked about and they only appear after you loop in a run.
12:30 scared the shit out of me
yeah its rude
18:00 My theory is that Nkuhanna died for Providence because he broke the balance, giving more life than death. If she died for Mithrix, that would mean that he broke the balance by making more death than life.
I was really surprised when you said this is your first video, the quality of it made me assume you were an established creator. Good job and please keep it up
for a first video, this is fantastic! great work :)
it's wild how much our understanding of the lore has improved since this video 2 years ago (or how different the theories I'm used to are, anyway)
IDK why but there are tons of small channels (including u) on really high quality level bout risk of rain 2, cool that our community keeps getting better. great job nice video I'm waiting for more
First video???? This was a great watch, nice job!
Surprised to see this be this channels first video, very well done
found a fire aspect the other day and thought it was a stealthy addition from a mod had no idea they were in base game.
With the new Update, the glass frog actually has a use. You can trigger the void Portal to the new Boss with it
How is this video so good, did not realize this is your first video wow. Keep up the good work in the future
Nice video Mr.Kang! Thanks for the extra knowledge
This video is quite well made and great to listen to! Good job bro 👍
5:05 mirthix sent them down to turn the creatures against providence
Informative and funny, good job man
great video dude
Pretty solid quality and enjoyable content for a first video ever
legit really good man
im glad you put thunderstore and r2mm on the iceberg because its also shared with another community im in hotdogs horse shoes and hangrenades (obviously for modding)
First 10 sentences he made and I'm already on the floor. Instant subscription.
For a first video, this was really well done.
The only criticism I have is about your utterance; since I'm not a native english speaker, it took me a few minutes to get used to your timing, but it's unfair of me to just expect too much from a ascending youtuber.
Please do more videos about the logs, your opinions on the lore and especially with the Survivors of The Void update.
Constructs created by gods with the power of creation < man made turret with shrooms
Transcendance is one of my fav lore, as its a direct 4rth wall break yet its still so mysterious.
That last item with the music almost made me cry.
among us jumpscared me
this was a great video. i was reluctent at first bc of audio quality but it was really well made
19:32 the new dlc technically adds sniper as railgunner
I like your comedy, you earned a sub, keep it up
I think the moon being captured by the Void Reavers is more related to Mithrix messing with the elements of creation and time, but being too powerful to be captured before he was defeated. The planet was protected from Mithrix by Providence, probably with some kind of space-demi-god magic power, which we can see from the Lunar Chimera family event which has the descriptive text "The bulwark begins to crumble." And I think that Mithrix had the same ability and was keeping the Void Reavers away.
Dude! I thought you were a long tome video maker! Great job!
REX mains: “There are dozens of us! DOZENS!”
The last iceberg was mind blowing.
Bro I was just clicking on random shit in my recommended and was just so damn close to clicking off, for no reason and a few seconds in, but the funny dancing acid dog made me rewind then the "stole the lizards lunch money, who you just shot" made stay. Funny shit dude
Quick correction on slipstream, the long pale arms thing refers to the null portal below the bazaar. It speaks of the Void Reavers which is why a bunch of reaver corpses can be found down there. Not Mithrix.
So transcendence log is saying that me the player is canon and risk universe only exists in my universe but as dream like imagination. Just making sure I understand
sweet video lmao, good stuff
12:17 iirc there was a time where those keys were busted, being garunteed to give a red item
the devs have confirmed that both brothers are canonically dead. This may not mean that they're totally gone, but I think the important part is that they're not coming back
Where was this?
@@serraramayfield9230 somewhere in the discord server. They're quite active there
I would like to add that “Nevermore” is a reference to Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven”.
“Quoth the Raven “Nevermore”’, which is why Heretic just squawks.
Simple lil reference that just makes Heretic even more adorable to me lmao
(also if you get the Ditto mod, you can transform into any enemy, and they all have their moves. I personally love to choose Magma Worm everytime)
This was incredible
Good shit man.
Lanky... Brother... We have been united...
ZetAspects makes the Elite items yellow. I also hate that they are equipment in the base game.
Bro got that goat hoof and then scaled an 83 degree mountain.
Better mic quality...and this channel Will one of the best
Cool video. Deserves more views
Im pretty sure the "nevermore" name for heretics abilitys are a refrence to edgar allen poe's "the raven"
Yes
nice vid bro
This is top tier content
for someone who says this is his first video this seems pretty professional
Amazing content
To be honest I feel like in the first game the jellyfish should explode and move slower like in the second game and in the second game they should move faster and do contact damage because in the first game it doesn't make sense that they move fast if you cant aim and in the second game it doesn't really make sense that they move slow because you can just snipe them from far away
The glass frog on commencement now serves a purpose in the DLC, Pretty cool!
28:27 the devs showed the model and said it was just some design not ment to be anything
it loooks like a good content to me!
The transcendence look book was incredible
I always assumed Rex got ejected out of whatever ship he was on and eventually landed on petrichor v, which is why he’s buried and broken in the abyssal depths
You got a real good start here a little better audio would make you perfect. You edit like a pro I hope you keep doing youtube.
I remember reading the transcendence log for the first time and been hit with a sudden feel of existential dread of my own mortality that i have forgotten... til now
Hey banger video make some more!
Just wondering, trying to make my own videos, where do you find music for videos? And if it's UA-cam or smth is there a conversion tool or anything like that? If you respond than thank you
All the music in the video was either found as mp3 files or on UA-cam itself and converted to mp3s using a UA-cam to mp3 converting site.
@@Lankykang alr thanks 😊
Transcendence as a parallel to the Ahamkara from Destiny is a really sick idea
awesome!
pretty good video was enjoyable
21:12 I agree. Reading the entry for Planula annoyed me SO intensely.
that transcendence logbook entry is some 5th wall breaking shit
I believe the rex mastery skin was changed before the anniversary update and was supposed to change with the season but they only did it once.
The Transcendence log is some creepy shit 🙃
TY for the video. At first I thought it will be some kind of funny shitpost but it was an interesting video that summarizing many theories surrounding the game.
