Risk of Rain Returns: Every Secret Strange Prism Skin and How to Unlock Them

  • In this video I cover the secret prismatic skins hidden around risk of rain returns. These only spawn on certain stage variants and can be a bit of a pain to find. I recommend playing with the command artifact to pick mobility items and playing on drizzle difficulty so you can safely ignore the clock.
    Chapters:
    0:00 - Before You Start
    2:06 - Bandit (Tutorial Stage)
    2:30 - Commando (Desolate Forest Variant 3)
    2:52 - Artificer (Dried Lake Variant 3)
    3:53 - Loader (Sky Meadow Variant 2)
    4:32 - Drifter (Ancient Valley Variant 2)
    5:17 - Acrid (Boar Beach)
    6:14 - Huntress (Magma Barracks Variant 2)
    6:37 - Acrid 2 (Final Stage)
    7:19 - Mercenary (Final Stage)
    7:47 - Chef Secret Skin (Cook Acrid)
    8:20 - Conclusion

      Not sure if this is correct, because I couldn't get mercenary prism even playing with him.
      I went to the area, playing with mercenary on drizzle, to put the battery on the box, but the prism was not there, just the outline.
      I got it only on another run playing with mercenary on monsoon. I think another thing triggered the prisms.

    I'm pretty bummed out that Commando's shard skin doesn't really change much. He's just a little more yellow with a blue visor. I was kinda hoping he would get a purple skin with a red visor, as a nod to Nemesis Commando from Starstorm (for those who don't know, Hopoo actually brought some of the Starstorm devs on-board to work on rorR).

    This is why I love risk of rain. And I don't just mean the game, I mean the community. There's no fextralife wiki. There's no soulless moneypit youtubers telling you the 'Top Ten Things You Wish You Knew about Risk of Rain.' It's all in the community baby. In order to find tricks and easter eggs you actually have to engage with other people. Just like the good ol' days.

    Also a little priority list (who to focus first, threat assessment) could be great as well, I know this kind of video existed for ror2 boy woolie back in the day and it helped me a lot to improve. This could also make judgement runs more accessible and less daunting for players :)

    a bit late to this but i think the "todo" pilot skin may be an unfinished version of his providence skin that you get for beating the final trial. The orange on the jacket matches up with the icon and the name may just be referring to the coloring on the face and arms not being finished yet. probably wrong but my best guess

      It's possible that there's two skins for every character, but given that these things are particularly well hidden, it's going to take a while to find them all unless Hopoo straight up tells people, given how specific robomando's unlock is, making back tracing the unlock hard in the code reportedly, they might have hidden some behind hypercontextual things in a similar manner.

      Spoiled, as if he wasn't in the previous 2 games. Plus you're even on a secret skin walkthrough and you're talking about spoilers?

      bro the existence of merc isn't a spoiler, he was in both previous games and is unlocked in exactly the same way as he was in ror1. Y'know what I would consider a spoiler tho, pilot seeing as he's an entirely new survivor to this game. (also just git gud, sorry I had to slip that in)
