@@donogoodatgames nah it’s just that.. the games been out for a few days, and to unlock the mercenary, you have to beat the game 5 times, and so many people are saying rorr is REALLY difficult, so I’m guessing a ton of people haven’t unlocked mercenary yet. That must be why there’s so little content of him. All of that just clicked in me when I saw this comment, that’s why I thought it was hilarious lol.
Drifter can absolutely snowball the run if you choose ancient scepter (buffs your 4th ability) and the gigantic amethyst equipment (resets all cooldowns) she is omega op for this challenge.
This guide was a godsend. Another tip for this is that on stage 1 and stage 9, you can stand on the upper platforms and use eviscerate to hit the boss while they're below you. It's got a pretty good range. You're completely safe the whole time (unless the imp overlord teleports).
Pretty good guide overall. For item choices though, stage 4 I would definitely pick up Frost Relic instead of Rusty Knife. Frost Relic combined with Merc's overall playstyle compliments them really well, especially with the 9 dashes. It adds a lot of damage over the run, and is really easy to keep up, even in Provi fight with all the Umbras/Constructs. Also recommend Ifrit's horn over Shell Fragment. The extra shield is not that much, and generally Horn will give you better mileage and damage.
great guide that got me through the challenges. The 2 items that I took differently for me that got me through the challenges faster was the alien head that reduces your ultimate to 4 seconds with the wicked ring is legit insane, plus the snowflake item is incredibly busted on melee classes and makes going through and shredding the trouble bosses. Wait for at least 3 or 4 trash mobs to spawn with the boss and once you time stop everything disappears.
Really awesomce guide, defintely a few item choices I deviated on like taking an early frost relic, but this really helped get the attempts started and rolling, thanks a bunch!
Thank you for the mercenary guide, the reactor giving plenty more dashes saved my life, but i went another way as the build was lacking in damage, so i took the bounty list at the start and just "got gud" at the first stage and i've taken the tooth instead of the Scyte for reliable healing , and my active item was the shard to get 6 dashes like a madman, so i focused on deleting ennemies rather than stalling for time
Man I've tried to take Hit List first thing but Mercenary is just so fuckin bad at sealing the deal on kills on that first stage. I want the damage but it feels like ukulele or guardian heart are required for stable attempts
@@OfficerSkeleton fair enough. Sometimes I had to restart 5 times for hit. List. But once you're in it gets easier. I suggest only using dash and taking your times on stage one. And making the lizard on left fall with a glitch
that comment during phase 2 of providence "not getting overwhelemed by all the shit on the screen and understanding what can damage you" THAT is how i always imagined a "final boss" in RoR. a gauntlet with a boss fight at the end that puts EVERYTHING you know and learned over dozens of runs to the test. and for the gold you not only need to know but have MASTERED what the game gives you. well done hopoo! P.S. : that "hitmarker" is a tuned down version of providences light-crown.
Huntress was like drizzle compared to all the others I’ve tried esp merc feeling like insta death mode. Hit list, energy cell, guardian heart on her is broke
If you want help with Engineer I know how to best it easily. I don't play Engineer and I am not good at the game but there is a broken build that allows you to play it way more casually.
yeah I went and tried it on huntress and it was like I was playing a completely different game. Merc has it rough on the first couple stages and requires a lot of patience.
@@bigbluepurple Yeah it was super rough! But I tried out your method and got it first try! I was being too aggressive and not utilizing the hardlight + dash lol
This is literally the only mercenary video on UA-cam
That’s fucking hilarious
Literally? Like, literally literally? Or just literally?
@bennie1079 have I missed the joke? Not being a dick, genuinely just don't get it if it was a joke haha

Walkthroughs usually suck, this one didn’t suck. Kudos.
Amazing and well presented guide but can we talk about that spitter busting a move at 19:13

This really helped. Finally got it after trying different tech and strategies, bUT I FINALLY GOT IT
I tried this a bunch of times and even just following the items you took instead helped me a ton, appreciate the video!
The hitmarker above on the skin is bc its supposed to be a providence skin, all the other colors also match up
Yep, as janky as some of them look, they are all providence color skins. Merc just seems to also get his crown
thanks for the video man im tryna 100% this games achievements and your strats were a huge help
Finally found a video on mercenary, he looks sick in this game, unlocking him is gonna be tough
Really awesomce guide, defintely a few item choices I deviated on like taking an early frost relic, but this really helped get the attempts started and rolling, thanks a bunch!
This is the last survivor I need to beat judgement with, thanks for the video!
Good tips! A quick fire guide on some of the other trials would be dope
Was having alot of difficulty doing this providence trial as merc. Then I followed this video and first tried it lol thank you
thank you for the guide! i know nothing of final fantasy so i subscribed for more RoR content, as ill try to slowly chip away at this trial
Nice build mate, thanks!!

Getting to stage 3 is the hardest thing in this challange. After that its easy. Ty for the help tho.
I was struggling with this providence trial, and with this video did it second try. (lost too much hp first time)
Thanks for the tips! Also, you can use the reflect from the armor on providence’s beams to shred him too :)
i have just beaten judgement on merc, he is the 3d survivor that i beat judgement on, thanks for the tips :)
Your guide was a godsend. Thank you!
25:30 that sniper shot was so close
Not taking the sticky the first time you can is a mistake, it's great for killing swarms of mobs because it blows up in an AoE doing big damage.
works like a charm, though i took the glasses instead of the first knife, and the second scythe
I just placed a Foreign Fruit on the time travelling chest and then played normally
i fucking lost it when you were shit talking yourself because you nearly died to a gup Good guide :thumbsup:
Awesome vid, helped a lot thanks!
Huntress was like drizzle compared to all the others I’ve tried esp merc feeling like insta death mode. Hit list, energy cell, guardian heart on her is broke
ty
how do you get the shield icon to show up when you have eye frames?
If you want help with Engineer I know how to best it easily. I don't play Engineer and I am not good at the game but there is a broken build that allows you to play it way more casually.
Do you think robomando is possible?, I think that just plain impossible to me.
I got to providence's 2nd stage after so long, and died. Im so tilted rn lol
more rorr guides pls
Risking rain
Just some recolors as reward? That’s it ? Well fuck this then
how is your menu ui so small. i cant find anything about that on the internet.
hmm im not sure. Im just playing on the default settings with a 1080p display. Could be your resolution?
@@bigbluepurple I wonder. I have a 1440p display and play on 2k. But all my menu Ui is very zoomed.
@@vato8127 on the settings you can individually adjust screen and UI scale, they are defaulted to 2x but you can make it smaller by changing to 1x
@@TheIdealGamer that’s in game ui, not the menu ui. I changed my desktop resolution to 1080 and it fixed it. Seems to be a 1440 issue.
@vato8127 ahh right fair enough lad
how tf am i supposed beat stage 2 , they just dont die u r so lucky . The enemies separate , i get hit while doing dash
this is overall a pretty good guide, but i see some of your item choices as quite questionable
Huntress is really easy compared to Mercenary
I’ve only beat judgement as huntress and pilot. Merc is my main but I get obliterated immediately lol
yeah I went and tried it on huntress and it was like I was playing a completely different game. Merc has it rough on the first couple stages and requires a lot of patience.
@@bigbluepurple Yeah it was super rough! But I tried out your method and got it first try! I was being too aggressive and not utilizing the hardlight + dash lol
@@aidenmclaughlin1076 hell yeah glad it worked for you. Gratz on the win.
Merc ma boy.why u so difficult to unlock.why cant i main you already
The cool thing about the Judgement Challenge skins is, they are meant to make you look like Providence.
Second stage is way harder than first one like wth are you smoking
