true haha, it's like when my teacher told me "just because you made it doesn't mean it's an actual construction" when, for show-and-tell, i brought in a mountain of my own shit
Another fun build to run is the straw doll equipment (can’t remember it’s name), soul bound catalyst, the blue seashell, and a ton of gasoline and ignition tanks. The seashell forces you to use your equipment automatically while lowering cooldown, soul bound catalyst lowers your equipment cooldown for every death, and the straw doll constant procs on kill effects which is where your gasoline and ignition tanks tear through everything in the game
i also love doing the "drug run" where you stack 3 shells (to start with) and then get the tonic so that when the cooldown ends on tonic, the shell count will make it auto use again so you can never get withdrawals from the tonic unless you accidentally hit a cleansing pool
@@thenatespecial The only issue with it is that Mithrix takes away your item and he becomes your withdrawal center so to speak, you might just get 100x withdrawals there. But it's easily circumvented if you know how to skip his last phase or if you prefer less risk, just go do the void boss or obliterate
Benthic bloom ruined my run. It turned every one of my goat hoofs into freaking razorwires, my movement speed was so slow, I couldn't get to the ship in time
Benthic bloom replaces basically the single best item in the game and is fairly likely to screw you over real bad. I took it once or twice for fun, but it's really not worth it imo.
i didnt realize eggstew was eggs 2 i just got into ror2 but have been watching your bh videos for aaaages!!!!! thought to myself "hey these thumbnails look familiar? and egg in the channel name? OHHHH" such awesome content and this video in particular felt very narratively engaging
You can get the same effect with 5 regenerative scrap but you can curate you build better, you just have to hit up the newt every stage. Every 5 gives you an extra red
i just found this game today and i never woulda thought in a million years i would searched it up and seen eggsoup from brawl on here man never in my life 😭
This only can get good if you're lucky or past the point of finishing the run already so it's kind of pointless unless you're going for boss instakills or loop achievements
I feel like this just works really well with forgive me please since it activated all of the on kill reds which are very powerful. Maybe with one gesture of the drowned too.
A really fun run. Long loop, sacrifice and swarms. At the end of the stage turn all your items to scrap and the bloom turns it all to legendary. 50 stages I used a shrine of order and got about 6000 blooms
I accidentally picked one of these up the other day on stage 3 thinking it was a tentabauble and thought my run was completely ruined. I had 100% crit with shatterspleen and 10 shurikens from a printer and lost all of it (shatterspleen became useless). I knew I had to loop 'cause I was putting in all the artifact codes. Turns out, after a few stages I spiralled into one of the most overpowered god runs I've ever had and looped three times before melting Mithrix and the Voidling.
Yoo egg im 21 now and that might be crazy but i watched you Videos when i was around 16 17. I started Picking Up risk of Rain on my new PC a few months ago and watched some Videos on UA-cam. I was Like wait a sec i know That voice and i was so Happy when i saw you Play the Game too i Love your Videos. I really thank you for all the Work and good luck on everything
"It's not even an hour and a half" probably because you're using a mod that lets you skip teleporter charging while not adding any time to the timer whatsoever?

@@thqwibble I'm one of those people who has multiple essays for why certain items/stages/strategies are objectively bad, but the one thing you can never trump with logic is "I think its fun", which at that point, you do you.
don't void items have rarities based on what they corrupt (e.g. LSLs being corrupted LMGs puts them as common voids and plasma shrimp being corrupted AtGs makes them uncommon voids)
picking up weeping fungus as void feind caused a bit of mental pain edit: nvm i understand why you picked it up now, great to see you got back to your channel. you should always choose school over video games ❤
I haven't watched the video, so idk if it gets solved in the video, but for real I NEVER see red printers in the game. In like 100+ hours I've seen only 1 red printer. Tbh I don't see much printers at all, maybe it's my luck, idk
I got a benthic bloom on stage 1 once but i was playing with a friend so because we had to share my speed items kept getting destroyed and i was very weak, i feel like loader would go crazy with one tho becauze she doesnt have to worry about movement as much
The max dmg I got was with artificer long ago with shrine of order and a heck ton of crowbars and wisps in a bottle, I this for a 6 hours run(not sure it it was longer or shorter) I got 1Quatrilion with the old limit of 1Bilion dmg now with the limit raised at 1Trilion it may be even more cracked most likely I will try a 24 hours run with this but my pc will hate me
@@eggstew Exponential means it doubles each time. So for this, lets say you have Command. 1x Soldier Syringe 2x Soldier Syringe 4x Soldier Syringe 8x, 16x, 32x, 64, 128x, and so on. But be careful grabbing too many of one item because at some number it resets back to the start. Think it was around 1M? 1B? Cannot recall atm
At least oops all reds is a valid gameplay. Otherwise id hate getting this item. The only void item i dont like is the glasses because i hate losing crit and getting 25 harvest scythes is a hassle Edit: forgot about the zoea. Hate that thing. Especially on ps4
This aint even that strong of scaling, i had a sacrifice and command artifact run going at stage 15 as bandit i didnt even have to click my mouse, as the wisp launcher trigered my 20 missiles which instakilled anything cuz of my 50 crowbars and focus crystal at which point the frost circle did the rest of the work, i did 1 billion damage and the most damage in one shot was 100 mil
this was with betterUI, but that is now outdated apparently so i swapped to LookingGlass. haven't tried it much so can't fully vouch but seems good so far

"benthic bloom build" is a bit of a paradox lol

I don't think paradox is quite the right word here
@@ARatherDapperTapir oxymoron would be more fitting
My favourite benthic bloom moment was when a decently large green stack became a bunch of 56 leafed clover which then became more benthic blooms
@@Ocachino Game: Would you like... Items?
recycling pluripotent larva is a guaranteed benthic bloom
you might be onto something, and i think thats a great strategy
Got a benthic bloom from a void cradle and picked it up without knowing what it was…
Mithrix died before his opening cutscene even ended 💀
Benthic Bloom is great until it takes away all your goat hooves and bands.
Another fun build to run is the straw doll equipment (can’t remember it’s name), soul bound catalyst, the blue seashell, and a ton of gasoline and ignition tanks.

YES FINALLY THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
watched a stream once back in 2021 about this game and just like this video i had no idea what was going on but the game looks good to stuck around!
Very much should get it if its on sale, i think ror2 is one of the best roguelikes solely because of how many items you get compared to most others.
very good,just dont buy the recent dlc and dont buy it on consoles
Benthic bloom replaces basically the single best item in the game and is fairly likely to screw you over real bad. I took it once or twice for fun, but it's really not worth it imo.
@@stereoplexus the best item in the game is Droneman, then headstompers, then clover (for proc classes)
Benthic Bloom is just Egocentrism if it was good
I used to pray for egg comeback

glad u enjoyed gamer
Game: "Hmm, yeah, I think this calls for MORE WAR HORNS!"
at 11:40 you didnt understand why it stil did damage a while ago they changed to height scaling not momentum
benthic bloom can ruin runs as soon as you get multiple dupes. At that point, you get carried by plasma shrimp and singularity band in damage.
You can get the same effect with 5 regenerative scrap but you can curate you build better, you just have to hit up the newt every stage. Every 5 gives you an extra red
i literally started watching your videos yesterday. amazing timing.
yay yay
when you have too much speed, get the mask item in the blue portal area, it doubles ur hp and halfs ur speed.
welcome back!!!!! ❤❤(ignore pfp, I really like yours)
thank u i will now be leaving for another 8 months

i just got into ror2 and now i learn that one of my favorite creators also makes videos for this game? Im eatin good tonight
I'll be honest, based on the title of the video I wasn't expecting a video style of commentary on a previously recorded clip
I am in pain watching first boss dies in 5 seconds while i play commando and do 12 damage
I don't know your channel yet, my good sir... but that was quite the nice video, and I'll be back 😂
loved the end of the run btw
thank

I’ve only gotten benthic bloom once and it ruined my run. It immediately deleted my crit and bleed, all my prof items, and I died

218 headstompers goes crazy
The worst thing about benthic bloom is that all crit and nearly all movement speed is in white and green items,
I screamed when you recycled Shatter Spleen
never watched any of your main channel and probably won’t but i like this ror2 voiceover stuff. will follow this. 👍
thank gamer, tbh i prefer it that way
reds went down because of the scrapper at the end
it drops for me all the time and i never take it. good to know its one of the rarer ones though.
just found ur channel, great commentary. i think ur real funny
i know this video is modded or something bc i have never gotten two items in a row at a chance shrine
My god your so quick, An hour gaming is just one loop for me XD
Well I'm getting is I should do this with an exponential items mod
Guys subscribe so eggstew can escape eggsoups basement
Just realized your channel related to eggsoup. I've been watching both channels independently for a bit.
yo
I've been waiting so long! It's finally here ❤️
Eggsoup has been hiding this channel from me
lets go I remember when you answered me by saying ror2 is gonna be back yay
I really enjoyed your commentary over your own gameplay type of video and i will be watching more
every time you see benthic, take it for the love of god
Ngl it’s basically showing how amazing card can be 😂
First time I got a benthic bloom I lost the run almost instantly

why does it sound like u are about to cry sometimes

thank for watchin gamer
love your personality egg!

I never pick these up. Auto-win items just aren't fun to me. I also avoid the void lenses & bears for the same reason.

It's great until it takes all your movement speed on stage 3
I did a run with it and I had a lot of one item because of a printer and they turned into more benthick so it did more items when I progressed lol
So if eggsoup sh*t's a lot what does basement eggstew do?
